Phenca PC Past

Psyche and Lina continue playing. Psyche moves a white piece before jerking back into the seat.

Mindscape

Psyche: Stop that! Hey... I felt that...

Lina: Of course you did. It's time to get up. Wakey wakey, boys and girls. Wakey wakey~

Phenac City

All of the little desert mons near the outskirts of the city begin stirring. They swarm in the hundreds. The citizens of the city may comment on the strange amount of mons.

- Stumbles a bit, trying to keep my balance -

Ah!

Jayna: (picks up HotStuff and lifts her off the ground)

HotStuff: <Thanks, Jayna.>

Setsuna: (takes quite a bit of damage from the attack) <Ugh... If only I knew Magnet Rise...>

Miki: (holding onto Setsuna's back) <Eek!>

Mirage: <Grr... You think you're so big and mighty...> (eyes flash purple) <... but I've seen better!>

- Suddenly, what appears to be a giant mecha shaped like a shiny Tyranitar appears out of nowhere -

Velvet: (tries firing a Signal Beam at Anatoly)

Gateon - By a Crippled APC

-Getting up-

<Andre: "E-Eh? Artemia-? What are you-?">

<Teala: "Andre, get up! Quick!">

<Andre: "Right!">

-And does so, bumping up into a certain disabled APC-

<Andre: "OW! Why is this even here? Out of my way!">

-And rams it, tipping it aside while joining the fray-

-To Carol-

"Heh. You're a pretty good shot with that thing. Someone take care of the rock!"

-Getting up uneasily-

<Iggy: "I've got it, I've got it!"> @_@

-And fires off a Hydro Cannon with Schrodinger's Effect-

<Zoltan: "Hey~! Wanna play catch?"> :D

-And attempts Rock Slide on the Roggenrola-

<Zoltan: "I'm a natural at it!"> ^_^

-Watching while honing claws-

Duke walks to Herbert and crouches, putting his hand on his shoulder

"Staying like that isn't going to help anybody, it may take a while, but you'll get him one day. Just don't let that pull you down, please. It's not worth it getting upset over this." said Duke

"If that was his plan the entire time, then he probably was the one that made Hikari visit us in Nimbasa, just to see how we were and he probably got a lot of information out of Hikari as well..." said Lyuri, looking lost in thought.

Citadark Isle, canyon

-Muninn is struck by the Dragon Pulse. His own is extinguished, and he slumps to the ground-

<Here to...exact justice, then? Couldn't save your civilization...so you're trying to fix up everything in this pale imitation of our time?>

Citadark Isle, HQ

-Every's mons are now fighting a group of Marowak-

Jab: <You guys are such losers! You think just because you hit harder than anything else, you're the toughest around?> -slides around a Bone Club and freezes a Marowak's feet to the floor, opening it up for a Seed Bomb from Mix-

Solace: <Well, it's not all their fault...> -catches a Marowak with a Sucker Punch, stunning it long enough for Jab to catch up and land an Ice Shard- <All that time spent with a skull on their head has to cut off some oxygen.>

Marowak: <You're calling us losers? Your ghosts vanished as soon as they entered the room!>

-this Marowak doesn't seem to notice the trail of frost creeping around it, which turns out to be Nitro. The Froslass freezes him solid, then waves to Drift, who has popped out of a trail of moisture on the far wall and is now raining down Scalds on the Marowak-

-Diesel, meanwhile, has gone on ahead-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

Gateon DMV

Peons: -are dazed by the APC getting upset, a certain one of them additionally getting facial injury-

Houndoom: -howls, and retaliates with a Fire Spin-

Roggenrola: -is buried amid a pile of larger rocks- <Help! I'm lost!>

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Gateon Port, main street

-Crewe notices a few peons trying to climb buildings-

... Clockwise. Roserade.

Lockspur: <Please, call me Lockspur, darling.>

Fine. Lockspur. And Golduck... Trixie?

Trixie: <Eeyup?>

The roofs... wash them off the sides. Cover the whole thing in ice and hazards.

Clockwise: <   ... Stay safe until then.   >

I'll be fine. Hurry up!

-he nods once, grabs Lockspur and Trixie by the arms and shoots up to one roof. Trixie immediately fires a Hydro Pump at the peons on the wall, blasting them off. Lockspur starts laying down Toxic Spikes at the edge of the roof, and Trixie coats the wall with ice. Satisfied with the one, they move over to the other, where some of the peons and mons have reached the top. Trixie uses Hydro Pump, blasting the mons farther back. She, Lockspurr, and Clockwise work together, using Hydro Pumps, Petal Blizzards, and Air Slashes, to drive them back to the very edge, where Trixie aims an Ice Beam at the ground behind their feet and Clockwise uses an Air Slash to push them into and over the roof. They then quickly ice the walls and lay hazards at the edge again before returning to the ground-

-on the ground, Beedrill and Crewe are doing their best to hold off another wave of mons, including a Togekiss, Sandslash, and Zangoose. Beedrill is dropping Thunders on the Togekiss, whirring in frustration as it refuses to go down and responds with Air Slashes. Crewe is hitting the Sandslash and Zangoose in the muzzles in an effort to keep them distracted-

-Clockwise barrels into the Togekiss, knocking it the ground. Trixie hits the Sandslash with a Hydro Pump. The Togekiss and Sandslash are finished off with a Petal Blizzard from Lockspur and Beedrill drops another Thunder on the Zangoose, which is promptly taken out by a Hyper Voice from Clockwise-

-Crewe pants and starts rummaging through her bag for healing items-

Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!

Odin: And now, I want you to die.

-He starts pummeling Chrome with as many Quake Punches as he can fit in a few-second span until...-

CRACK!

-A large y-shaped crack appears in Chrome's carapace around his eye-

Arika: ...Stop him! STOP HIM!

Ursula: -Manages to hit Odin with a Surf, but is punched into a wall as Odin turns to Arika-

Odin: Hmm, you're being a bit of a pest.

Shing!

-A large knife pops out of Odin's upper wrist as he sprouts a psychotic grin-

Let's dispose of you properly!

-Rushes for Arika-

Near Every

Waka: -glares- <Yes, I am. And watch what you say, dude. I'm currently babysitting a Kyurem. She eats dudes like you.>

-He turns to Every and team-

<Thanks for dealing with him, dudes. That dude was a real pest.>

-Herbert remains kneeling on the floor, seemingly only half-acknowledging Duke and Crow.-

Herbert: ...Why? Why is a... a... a monster like him allowed to get away with his atrocities? He... he's won, Duke. He's come away from this with everything he wanted, causing Arceus only knows how much damage, death, pain and suffering... and he's going to walk away a free man.

-He gives a quiet sob.-

Herbert: I... I don't want to fight any more Ciphers... I'm scared that I'll get mad, that I'll take all the rage meant for him and unleash it on them... they don't deserve that. He's the only one who deserves to die like that...

-Mammor dragging himself along. His Armor is badly damaged, and is injured in several places. The armor on his right hand has been burned away.-

Mammor: *gack* Cipher in Orre is finished... *hack* Damn those upstarts *pant* I will have my vengeance an- *cough* and I will rise again and stand on their corpses in victory. *hah* And I will start with Clavis. *pant* He and his mons' corpses will be the foundation of the monument to my vengeance.

-Mammor escapes Citadark Isle, not caring what becomes of Tokarev, Odin, Aelia, or any other Cipher personnel.-

"He may have won for now, but eventually we'll get him to pay for everything that he did to us. We can leave now, you need to rest and I don't want you to make anything you'll regret later. Just... Please, remember that if you want a shoulder to cry on, I'm here." said Duke

Neon then walks into the room along with his Luxray

"Oh, you're here, thanks goodness... I tried to get away of that smoke cloud and got totally lost in this place..." he said

"So he was bluffing..." said Lyuri.

Muninn: <...Then I accept your judgment.>

Muninn fainted!

Everyone fainted!

Crow: "Alright..."

"If you're uncomfortable, would you rather I go on and have you three head back to the Ark, if not rescue the guy who was going with us first? Or should we all head back and leave this to the others?"

"...And he didn't have you hostage after all."

Gateon - Near an overturned APC

Carol: "For the record, I still don't know how I let you talk me into this!" >_>;

-The Hydro Pump carries on... And smashes through a window-

"I'm pretty sure that it wasn't me who talked you into this!"

-Looking on-

<9-Volt: "That... Was underwhelming. Come on!">

<Vektor: "Right!">

-Sparking a bit while clinging to the charging Haxorus-

<9-Volt: "C'mon! Let's get some water already!">

<Teala: "Right behind you!">

-And sends off a wave of water via Surf-

WHAM!

-Which is directed and prevented from fanning out by some tectonic antics-

<Vektor: "Okay! It's all you now!">

<9-Volt: "Hope you all don't mind shocking experiences!">

-And chips in with a Thunder Wave-

<9-Volt: "... I just blurted out a horrible pun, didn't I?">

Hard Boiled Detective Since 1985

With DS and co

Anatoly: -Sees the Illusion- <Wha-Get's Signal Beamed-Ack!>

Cobalt & Steel: -Both know Magnet Rise-

Forecaster: -Floats out of the way-

Tropius & Draca: -Can fly-

Forecaster: <Cobalt, Steel!>

Both: <Right!>

-And Anatoly gets hit by a Meteor Mash/Iron Tail combo-

Anatoly: -Sends out another Earthquake while in a daze-

With Tokarev

-As it turns out, Tokarev is good at fighting without a gun, and I can't really try Aura chaining his head off with the chain I've wrapped around his neck due to the amount of times my concentration has been broken by the fists to my face and chest. In the case of the latter, I'd imagine some ribs would've been broken if I weren't wearing the Leavanny suit underneath-

Tokarev: -Currently beating the crap out of me- Is this the best the J-Team has to offer? I should've done this to you a long time ago like I planned instead of going with breaking you. After I'm done here I'll kill that girl, and then all the rest of your little friends. Not that they'll care about you anymore, after what you did.

-As my chains dissipate due to the the tiny problem of me getting the shit beat out of me-

I think I'll start with Memito and all those other little apprentices of yours, and the animal. Maybe that blue haired girl too...

-...Which was probably the worst thing he could've said.... for him-

   DON'T YOU TOUCH THEM, ESPECIALLY HER, YOU PIECE OF DOGSHIT!!!   

-And Tokarev gets a Force Palm in the gut, sending him next to the escape pod... and his pistol-

   LIKE I'M REALLY GOING TO LET YOU DO THAT!!!   

Tokarev: -Raises his pistol...only to get blinded from his eye getting slashed through by an Aura blade, his pistol hand and right leg being lost soon afterwards- Ack!

-Eyes glowing as my blade becomes an Aura spear aimed at his heart-

   Tokarev, you are charged with grievous crimes against humans and Pokémon alike. In the name of all you've harmed, I will kill you here.   

Tokarev: -Defiantly glaring while clutching his bleeding limb- You think killing me will solve things? As long as there is power and those too weak to grab it, people like me will be there to crush them underfoot.

   Yeah? I've heard that one before, and here's my rebuttal, mudak. Teams will curse our group, and Bosses and Admins will fear it. As long as people like you prey upon the weak people like us will be there. TO BLEED. YOU. DRY.

Pica: -Isn't really bothered by the Fire Spin- <That's it?>

-And uses Stone Edge again-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Cipher Key Lair, Siren's Office

Siren:These memories...they...they mean nothing. The world changes. The world I lived in as a child is much different than the world of today.

If it is, how is it that so many have made it work? Admit it, part of you wants to have the old Calypso and the Old Crimson back.

Artemis:<I know I do...>

Siren:I...I don't know what you are talking about! The power that they had then pales in comparison to what they have now!

Does it? Or is it just compensating for your own doubts that your Pokemon will never get stronger like this?

-Siren's face begins to show more insecurities, but it is somewhat obscured by the visor-

I can see it in that slightly obscured face of yours. You know it's true.

-Siren steps back, falling into her chair. Slowly, she begins to remember all the memories that she had tried to push away from her for years, telling herself that they would only make her weak and a failure-

Siren:-takes off her helmet, and buries her face in her palms- ...What have I done to myself.

So have you finally realized it now?

-she slowly nods-

Artemis:<...Oh my Arceus he actually did it.>

-she runs up and hugs Siren Taylor, who hugs back. She then goes and hugs Straw, her eyes tearing up-

Taylor:Straw...I don't know how you did it...but you made me realize all the mistakes I've made.

-harsh footsteps can be heard outside the office-

It's alright. You're back to normal now. That's what matters. You can face the consequences of all this later. And you'll have Artemis with you.

Taylor:Yes...I suppose you're—

-A gunshot is heard, and Taylor falls to the floor-

Artemis & Straw: TAYLOR!

-In the doorway is Jet, holding a smoking pistol as Taylor bleeds out onto the floor-

Jet:You know, you really should be careful about that broadcast button.

Citadark Isle, Operations HQ

-Herbert gives a few more quiet sobs before eventually answering Duke.-

Herbert: ...O-okay. Let's g-go. Get out of this p-place...

-He looks up at Crow with blotchy red eyes.-

Herbert: You can s-stay, if you want to keep h-helping... you can t-take my team with you too, if you n-need them...

-He tugs off his belt with Pokeballs attached and offers it to Crow.-

Bishop: <...Forgive me, but if Herbert is returning to the Ark then I will also be returning with him. I... would rather not leave him in his current state.>

Pi is wandering around, looking for any Peons he hasn't beaten up.
