Punk Guy: "Uh, seriously, what's going on here? How did all of us end up here?"

Neo Flare Base (?)

Lina: This place...

Arika: This better not be that Odin creep.

Flashpoint: Neo-Flare Headquarters

-Pent is here now, already standing and tensed, he takes a moment to stow his headphones and withdraws a blade from his bag-
This place feels stale and sounds like me. The end of things is starting.
Quarantine and dispatch the J-Team. Just on a divine scale.
Smells of daedra too. Ready your blade
-However Pent isn't the only one transported here, another figure stands in the room though it's hard to tell who they are. It almost feels irritating to look at their rune-marred leather armor and the face-concealing grey hood over their head, the ensemble softly tries to repel observation-

Grey Clad Figure: -une up the Foxdroooooo...

-They look around and notice the sudden relocation before settling their gaze on Pentigan before roughly addressing the room at large-

Grey Clad Figure: What is the meaning of this?

Neo Flare Base (?)

-Simon, as it happens, pings in right next to Joseph. His sudden exclamations startle an already-on-edge Joseph even further, and he whips around and practically bites Simon's head off-

Joseph:    Be quiet!   

Neo Flare HQ

Daydre is unpaused here, along with a certain other person.

Daydre: "Wh-"

Alana: "Okay, so I have to go tooooooooo where the fuck is this?!"

Neo-Flare HQ

-Dune immediately find the nearest door, barricades it with whatever furniture is nearby, and makes note of any surveillance equipment nearby.-

Dune: Someone mind explaining why everything suddenly stopped for a good few hours? Those were hours, right?

-Deziree, meanwhile, is pulling out what looks to be a mix of an egg beater and a salt shaker.-

-An egg shaker, if you will.-

Deziree: These readings have literally no basis in reality. Not... not sure what I was expecting.

Ludmilla: Mommy, Daddy, are we dead?

Lanie: Everything... stopped? I don't remember that.

-The Sneasel is kind of panicking and hiding now.-

Punk Guy: "I'm... just confused. What's all this about being paused? Who's Odin, and does anyone know where the airport is?"

Neo-Flare Base(?)

It's this old place again. Sterile and Metallic as ever. Though this time, it comes off as... oddly washed out? Everything looks like it's been covered in some sickly grey finish.

In the centre, a figure draped in red is kneeling on the ground beside a Gallade. Right hand covering his face and left hand clasped in an iron grip on his companion's wrist.

Constantin(?): Will... Will you leave me too, Shaka?

Shaka(?): <Leave you? No. The thought has never occurred to me.>

Shaka hoists his partner up and takes up a defensive pose around his trainer. Baring his arm blades towards the group.

Shaka(?): <I would follow you anywhere. Wherever that may be.>

Constantin(?): Thank you, my dearest friend.

Constantin stands still for a moment, right hand still covering his face, before he unclasps his hand from Shaka's wrist and points directly at the group◊.

Constantin(?): YOU! You, you, you, you...You lot have proven have proven to be repeated thorns in my side for years. Harmph. Every attempt at progress I've made has been ham-stringed by your interference. Every step closer to paradise ripped from me by your moral justice complexes.

He sneers, though it comes off more as a growl.

Constantin(?): You are all stains on my perfect world. And like every other imperfection on this damned, foresaken planet-

Constantin finally removes his right hand from in front of his face, revealing the runny, bloody mess that was his right eye - before it was gouged out.

Constantin(?): -I must scrub. you. CLEAN.

Constantin bares his signature Bagh Nakh constructs.

Constantin(?): YOU WILL BE ELIMINATED!

Double Trouble!! J-Team Vs Neo-Flare Constantin and Shaka

Constantin(?) fires off some Psycho Cuts from his claws, shredding through the metal floor seemingly with ease as they make their way towards the team, while Shaka(?) puts up what appears to be a Reflect barrier.

Jason:Oh...oh-hoh.

-He sighs-

Oh this is just fucking LOVELY!

-Jason charges up energy before sending out three large Vacuum Waves at the Psycho Cuts-

Neo Flare HQ

Joseph: Ack!

-all of my characters spring into action. Joseph sends out Scarlett, Munn Cupid, Samantha Jeanne, and Mimmy Jangles-

Scarlett: <Oh, it's been a while!~>

Cupid: <New friends are great!> :3

Jeanne: <   You will gaze upon me and despair!   >

Jangles: -jingles-

-respectively, they use Giga Drain, Hydro Pump, Flamethrower and Thunder Wave-

Neo Flare Base (?)

Lina: -slicing a Psycho Cut apart with a Shadow Claw- Well this isn't much better than Odin!

-Umbra imitates Lina; Arika dodges; Ammy removes her armband and Flamethrowers; Robin slices with his two swords; Nico whips out his staff, creates a Psycho Cut scythe with it, and lunges.-

Neo-Flare HQ(?)

-Dune and Deziree move to shield Ludmilla, if it weren't for the fact that Ludmilla was already at the front, smacking Psycho Cuts away. Her hands appear to be warped and distorted - dust in the air seems to swirl erratically around them.-

Ludmilla: NOOOOOOOOOO!

-Her emergency patch activates, and Doomsday is released.-

Doomsday: <Okay, what the John F. Kennedy Hell is going on right now?!>

Neo-Flare Base (?), a couple minutes ago

-Picking myself off the ground-

Ugh...

-Looking around-

Wait a sec, this is...

Muddy: <The Neo-Flare Base in Hoenn.>

Cobalt: <What does this mean, though?>

Doc: <It feels like shortly before the Warp in the South.>

Ann: -Looking ahead- Er, bro, who's that?

-Glaring-

Constantin, but there's something... different about him.

Neo-Flare Base (?), now

I'm not sensing a Gates boost though, what is going on her-?

Shit! Guys, no holding back!

-And a myriad of projectile attacks are fired at Constantin and Shaka-

Punk Guy: "...Wait, who are these two? And what's their problem?"

Hajime: "Uh..."

Buddy: <Stay behind me, Hajime.>

Gogie: <Ah!>

-Gogie leaps in front of one of the Psycho Cuts to cancel it out-

-Maggie, meanwhile, sends out Yuuya-

Yuuya: <What do you need of me, mon amie?>

Maggie: "Use Air Cutter!"

Yuuya: <Consider it done.>

-He flaps his wings and send bits of cutting air at Cons and Shaka-

Neo-Flare HQ

Simon: WHAT THE FU-

(This outburst is cut off by a yelp as the psychic blasts send Simon sprawling. Alex, by contrast, lunges with catlike reflexes into the shadows; a mere second or so later, a Shadow Ball is sent hurtling at Shaka.)

Neo-Flare Headquarters, Arena

-Pent unsheathes the Horseman's Blade from it's sheath, ignites the blade in black flame and readies himself for an opening to charge at one of the enemy combatants-
Keep opening the gates inside our daring dreams, ride out and glide.
Impressive replication... Or simple overriding. Either way I've seen this kind of work before...
If the other could listen, does it being with the Glitch dampen the catharsis?
GCF: -Drawing something more like a mace from their belt and adopting a similar guarded but ready stance- Oh wonderful, blood magic?

Neo-Flare Base(?)

-Among those who dropped in are Kaito and Vierr, as well as Diane, her parents, and Skye, oddly in Pokeform. Their confusion at the sudden change in scenery is quickly replaced deep, deep disturbance.-

Kaito: ...Oh. This is happening.

-Skye looks somewhat sick at the sight of Constantin's bloody eye, but shakes it off and does her best to look intimidating. Meanwhile, Diane gets a concerned look from her parents.-

Susan Jaide: <So these are the types of people you have to deal with?>

Diane: <Well, I... can't say I've dealt with this guy personally, but yes.>

Garth Jaide: <Somehow I get the feeling there's a lot more to dislike about this guy than he's already shown.>

-Vierr quickly tosses up a sheet of Dark Obscura to shield himself from an incoming Psycho Cut, and Elysia jumps off his head to scamper forward with a Brick Break on Shaka's barrier. Kaito sends out Avada, who frowns at Constantin.-

Avada: <Your mind is the most hideous thing I've sensed in years.>

-He attempts to use a Thunder Wave on Constantin, while Kaito takes a stance, hands flickering with Aura that quickly retreats back along his arms.-

Neo-Flare Base(?)

At the flurry of incoming attacks, Shaka throws up a Protect barrier to shield off the attacks from hitting either him or his trainer, but due to the sheer power and volume of attacks - he seems to be struggling in his endeavour.

Meanwhile, Constantin gives a mad grin, and uses his own twisted version of Psyshock to turn the recently torn up ground and debris to his advantage. Striking at anything in range, but a clear focus on getting Tagg first.

It seems some things never change.

However, during this his attack, Constantin is struck with a Thunder Wave. Which makes him screech and ear piercing wail.

Shaka(?): <Constantin!>

Shaka glares at Avada with piercing eyes and gritted teeth.

Neo Flare Base(?)

Daydre jumps out of the way of the Psycho Cuts, pulling Mr. Bitey's ball off her belt and sending him out in the process. She grits her teeth as debris scrapes some of her skin. Mr. Bitey, meanwhile, Iron Heads towards Shaka- knocking debris away in the process.

Alana, meanwhile, seems somewhere between confusion and panic. She narrowly dodges a Psyho Cut.

Alana: "Who are you people?? Who is he? What's going on?!"

Neo-Flare Base

Ludmilla: Plokhoy um!

-Ludmilla responds by proceeding to make the laws of physics in her immediate vicinity, oh, say, within a yard or so, her metaphorical and metaphysical bitch.-

-Needless to say, no debris gets past her.-

-Kitsune raises a Protect as Keys spreads a Reflect over the group. Mendel is scared [boop]less.-

Ren: Crud. Constantine. Gamma, I need you!

-The Porygon-Z appears as he separates from the Holo-Cane.-

Gamma: <Yes, Master Ren?>

Ren: Help Mendel! He needs you firepower!

Gamma: <Affirmitive.>

Mendel: Mister Clavis umm...

Ren: Send out Hertz, Mendel. We need your help now.

Mendel: Ummm... Right... H-Hertz!

-The Rotom crackles as he releases the translator on Mendel's waist.-

Hertz: <Right here Mendel!>

Ren: Gamma, let Hertz possess you!

Gamma: <Affirmitive. Bracing for mental fusion.>

Hertz:: <Okay... Here I go!>

-Hertz dashes into Gamma, causing a gray electrical aura to surround Gamma as all his Body parts begin to float separately, held in a new configuration by the electrical aura. Gamma's eyes convert forming blue Rotom-like eyes as the Porygon-pink takes on a shade of Rotom-orange.-

Rotom-Z!Gamma/Hertz: <Fusion complete.>-

-Gamma/Hertz fires a twin barrage of Shadow Balls.-

Neo-Flare HQ(?)

Jason:-bracing himself to the rubble-Ngh...no holding back, huh? Me either then!

-He lets out the team mates he has on him, which would be Senshi, Darius, Shana and Da Za, the last of which has become a Rampardos offscreen-

Let's get 'em!

-Senshi sends out a Hyper Voice, Darius and Shana both let out Hyper Beams, and Da Za causes an Earthquake-

-Jason himself throws one of his discus constructs. You know, the explody ones-

Punk Guy: -to Alana- "I'm... just as confused as you are, honestly."

-Yuuya gets hit by the Psyshock-

Yuuya: <Oof... That certainly wasn't nice. Let's see if this won't help any...>

-Yuuya proceeds to do some flirtatious motions, causing a cartoonish heart to head in Shaka's direction-
