Nightmarescape

-Joseph reaches out to cling at Gogie-

Did you go through this, too?

Yeah.

-Pent huggles-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Nightmarescape

...In retrospect, that was a bad idea.

-He hugs Crewe briefly, but lets go and looks over at the Aura explosion behind Crewe. The smoke clears, and it reveals the giant Tyranitar again. Only, this time, Esprit is controlling it-

Esprit:Hello, Straw. Things are getting too happy. Time to fix that.

-He fires a Hyper Beam at the group-

Mitonga Road, past

-Recognizing the figure-

Salvador?

Restaurant, tonight

-Throwing a Great Ball-

Thresher, you're up!

Thresher: -Wearing a Rocky Helmet- <Let's make this quick.>

Let's start with a Power Whip!

Thresher: -Sends out two of his feelers at Vanessa-

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Cocona Village

-Morgi looks at her Pokegear.- He said it's taken care of.

Nightmarescape

-Gogie is shocked enough that he doesn't know who it was that grabbed him-

Gogie: <Agh! Getoffmegetoffmegetoffme!>

-He ignites his fangs and is about to bite Joe when he notices who's holding onto him-

Gogie: <...Could you please let me g->

-He was unaware of Esprit or the Tyranitar, so is struck by the Hyper Beam fairly hard-

Shantotto: after Salvador's arrival- <Do you people exist to steal my fire?>

-to Ren- <It's like they want to stir my ire.>

-Ren nods at Salvador as he retrieves the Blade if Kusanagi.-

Mitonga Pass

-Ludmilla, with a practiced hand, continues to apply first aid to herself. She shoots Salvador a grateful nod.-

Somewhere

-Selene huggles back.-

Selene: I think I might need to learn how to soften landings... Curse my lack of tutors.

Nightmarescape

-Deziree scrambles away from the blast.-

Deziree: OH GOD!

Mitonga - Past

Salvador turns towards Tagg.

Salvador: You'd be correct. Shame we had to meet in such circumstances though.

Salvador starts walking over to the unconscious and limp body of Constantin.

Salvador: I sensed that you might have needed some assistance, especially against a gate form.

I'm having to learn to pay the price

Nightmarescape

-Joseph and Munn are similarly struck-

ACK!

-both roll away-

Joseph: Oh you stupid motherfucker...

Hm, yeah.

-Nodnods-

Well if we find Tagg you can ask him

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Mitonga Road, past

Gate form? That sounds vaguely familiar.

-Picking my belt off the ground-

Guys, this is Salvador, a priest of Yveltal.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Jason's Room

"Just outside the city, a bit close to the park..ooh, is that a buckler?" He peers down to take a closer look."Is this a Mega Item, by any chance?"

Nightmarescape

-Blitz pauses, unsure of what to say to Dezi, then looks up when he hears Espirit. He attempts to shove/tackle her away from the oncoming attack-

Blitz: "Hit the deck!"

Mitonga - Past

-Blitz looks back from his searching to see what's going on-

Blitz: "A Priest of Yveltal?" -To Salvador- "I'm glad for the help, but what are you doing here?"

-Beat-

"You wouldn't know anyone named Sister Morphene, would you?"

Ren: -sheathing his The Blade of Kusangi, bows politely to Salvador.- Thank you for your assistance, Your Holiness.

Mitonga Road-Past

Jason:A priest? Huh...um...Jason Maxwell. Nice ta meetcha, Salvador. Um...thanks for saving out asses.

-He coughs sheepishly, certainly not expecting to meet a priest of a Legendary.-

Jason's Cabin

-Jason regards the buckler on his wrist.-

Jason:Huh? Oh, this? Yeah, it is. My mom thought it was an antique, so she sent it to me shortly after mother's day back while I was in Kalos. I have some Mega Stones too...well, two.

Mitonga Road - Past

Ludmilla: Damn, so he was gated. Why did I still engage...?

-She grits her teeth and stands up straight. Her stance is more rigid, but otherwise she shows little sign of pain from her injury.-

Ludmilla: You made good time. Thanks for the save.

Somewhere

Selene: Sure!

-Selene hugs again, her curls bouncing.-

Selene: You know, I just realized...

-She looks up at the stars.-

Selene: I still haven't seen any Lati@s during this whole trip.

-Selene blinks.-

Selene: How do I pronounce that?!

Yeah, they seem to be very sneaky this time around...

-Pent sighs and hugs-

Maybe we should go find some ourselves rather than wait for them to appear?

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Somewhere

Selene: Sure! Where do we start?

-Her curls form question marks.-

Restaurant

-Vanessa recoils at the Power Whip, taking a decent amount of damage.-

Echo: Let's see if we can't make this matchup a bit more favorable. Dragon Tail.

Vanessa: <You did say to make this quick. So you're already leaving.>

-Vanessa hits Thresher back toward Tagg.-

Mitonga - Past

Salvador bows. His mask obscures his face completely, and he is unidentifiable even by aura

Salvador: Pleasure to meet you all, even in such dire circumstances. (To Ludmilla) You are welcome. It is my duty to protect those in need of help. (To Blitz) Alas, the name does not ring a bell..

He turns back to Tagg.

Salvador: Gate Forms. Only a small number of Aurics, Psychic and Obscurics have the potential to use them, and even then they have to train for years in the meditations to be able to use them. A sudden surge of power from clearing the system of gunk- at the cost to often irreversible damage to the body, mind and soul. Though the first gate isn't too bad in that regards.

His voice drifts off for a moment.

Nightmarescape

-Straw moves him and Crewe out of the way, then looks at Esprit-

...

Esprit:So, terrified, eh?

...

-Straw faints-

Esprit:Well, that was easy. -the Tyranitar disappears- Hm. Now what...

-Esprit appears oblivious to everyone else-

Nightmarescape

-Crewe makes an attempt to catch Straw, and ends up dropping him. She winces, then turns to Esprit, narrowing her eyes and clenching her fists-

You. You are responsible for this.

-she charges him-

Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!

Jason's Cabin

"Cool! I have a Mega Scabbard, with an accompanying sword." He frowned."I wonder what's taking my Mega Stones so long.."

Kalosian Airport

Agent Smith was kneeling on the ground, a Magmortar hand to his head, with various masked people holding up everyone there and screaming for money.

Smith gritted his teeth."Of course, why not?"

Nightmarescape

-Esprit is caught off guard, and is hit by Crewe-

Esprit:Gah! Who the hell are you?! -looks at Crewe- Oh, you. You're that Sneasel girl.

-He tries to throw her aside with Psychic-
