-Scarlette furrows her brow in skepticism-
Scarlette: ...I have literally no clue what you're talking about but Astral says that's bullshit. Only they didn't use "bullshit". They said you're wrong.
-Kaisei nods back.-
-He's changed into his normal clothes at some point.-
-Kaisei flings a Premier Ball into the arena. A Gardevoir pops out.-
Athena: <Hark, o noble opponent! Art thou ready to fall?>
Creme Puff: <Roll a d20!>
-ShAUn looks around. The Sylveon is nowhere in site.-
"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"Astral: <In retrospect, "that's bullshit" sums it up pretty well too.>
Pianis: Excuse me?
Astral: <Look. I understand your fear, but this isn't your timeline. Mother isn't who you think she is. She's a kind, generous soul who only wants to help.>
Pianis: Only wants to help by ending lives!
-Astral flaps their wings-
Astral: <You don't belong here either. I think you should return to your own world.>
Pianis: You think I—
-an Ultra Wormhole appears beneath Pianis-
Pianis: No! I will not let another legendary fall into her clutches! You can't—
-and despite his efforts, he is sucked in-
Astral: <Regrettable... this whole mess shouldn't have happened.>
Lily(?): Okay, what?
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.Marco: <Ugh, I fucking hate that stupid song.>
<And don't fucking touch me.>
off the shits"No, I cannot say that I've met anyone like that, no."
All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.-Scarlette just... watches.-
Scarlette: ...This is a fever dream, right? There's no way this isn't a fever dream.
Gus: <It's not a fever dream, I hate to say.>
Scarlette: ...Okay.
-She takes a deep breath, and exhales while she processes... that.-
-Corrin is up and ready to go.-
-She still looks a bit shaken, but not as empty as yesterday.-

Astral: <Where is Mother?>
Lily(?): Mother? You mean Fortis? She's over at the Altar, I think... not too far from here.
Astral: <I should go to her.>
-Astral turns away-
Lily(?): Hey, wait!
Astral: <Hm?>
Lily(?): What about saving our world? Bringing back the sun?
Astral: <I understand. I can't bring the lost sun back, but I can do something...>
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.Medea: Odd. She hasn't come to find us...
Odin: <I guess we really do have the day off! Want to join us, mystery lady?>
Contact Me!Azelle: "Uh, I'm showing her around. She said she wanted to meet the J-Team."

"Trick question!" Colton observed. "I'm not fighting you!"
In his right hand, he held a Great Ball between his thumb and middle fingers. He swung his arm to the left, throwing the ball so it curved to the right even though he threw it to the left.
Sylveon landed smoothly, meeting Athena's gaze. <I am!> She declared.
She drew her Quick Claw's power to summon a Light Screen.
[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]Scarlette: ...What can you do, then? I— I still don't... know what happened, in the end. I don't know what to do, or what can be done, or what.
Astral: <I may be able to lend your world some of my light.>
Lily(?): Hold on, though! What if that just gets stolen by Necrozma again, or you're killed by that Beast Killer thing?
Astral: <I don't know...>
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.Artoria: "I'm worried, Corrin."
Brynhilde thinks for a moment. "I suppose it cannot hurt. What were you planning to do?"
Lin: "... I changed my mind."
Mòrag: "On?"
Lin: "Take Brighid. Teleport back to Lumiose and find my aunt."
She hands a pokeball to Mòrag.
Mòrag: "As you wish. Though I must ask, why do you always put Brighid and I together?"
Lin's mask, thankfully hides how much Mòrag's question flusters her. "Um, I, uh, you two work well together and are named after parters in the game your names are from."
Mòrag: "I see."
She takes the Delphox's pokeball.
Mòrag: "I will return with reinforcements. Until then, good hunting."
Lin: "Yeah... I just hope we're not too late."
All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.-Kaisei chuckles quietly.-
Athena: <Indeed? Thou shalt fall quickly!>
Athena: <But what good is a heroine without her shield?>
Scarlette: ...
-She clenches her fist.-
Scarlette: You won't need to lend it forever. Just long enough to take it back from Necrozma.
-Her voice shakes a little bit as she says "Necrozma"-
Scarlette: And if the Beast Killer comes for you, I won't hesitate to do whatever it takes to stop it.
Corrin: We'll... find her. We'll find her., I promise.
-She seems to be attempting to seem more self-confident than she clearly is.-
-The Avenger v3 nods at DU-ICA-6 following its spiel.-
Avenger v3: That is... broadly correct, yes. I am afraid to say that our information regarding the Bronze Birds is somewhat less complete, but we understand that your intention was to pursue a similar agenda, hence why we would be interested in forming an alliance.
-The Avenger v2 looks over at Air Raid as he descends.-
Avenger v2: Oh, h-hi!
Trans rights are human rights. JK Rowling preaches hate. If you sit at a table with five bigots and say nothing, there are now six bigots.Stormchaser
<A heroine without a shield is no heroine at all,> Sylveon observed, <BUT BEING GENRE SAVVY IS MY SCHTICK!>
Colt didn't seem at all concerned with Sylveon screaming if a hand on his headphones as he hummed some tune was any indication.
[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]Astral: <I thank you for that. I hope it would be enough.>
Lily(?): Yeah, me too.
Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.Athena: <Ah, but what about a mage?>
-She summons six pink balls of energy and flings them at Sylveon.-
"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"Reed Snorkel: <If you're trying to cross universes, following you might be risky... but the third entrance has been the least stable lately, so I'd say you'd have the best luck here.>
<Draw a map as you go! It's easy to get lost!>
Brebre: <The world of fashion is so strange lately...>
-Sol goes to look at the pink set-
Ton: Hmph. I was a supervillain minion once.
-she sighs and browses the goth rack-
Oppenheimer: <Hey, what's wrong little buddy? I keep trying to cheer you up, but nothing's helping.>
<Oh what I wouldn't give to put a smile on that little baby face of yours... sniff...>
-he sighs, then slings Montu over his back-
<Welp, I know he'll be disappointed in me, but I've gotta take you to the ol' man. He'll know what to do!>
Veld: <You dare to try and upstage me in my domain?>
<I'm afraid your act will have to canceled for poor reception!>
-she Psychics several tomatoes out of a salad cart and accelerates them towards O!Jab-
Suspicious Chef: -running in, panting- Yaaay, Surf!
-the Flareon jumps in front of the chef to absorb the Flamethrower-
Veld: <You haven't had a bath in weeks, you're due for some grooming.>
Nelly: <Yeah well who's fault is thaAAAAAAUGH!>
-she spasms, panting as Kori examines her talons as though she hadn't just Thunderbolted the Sneasel-
Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?Stormchaser
Sylveon, not very good at taking physical hits, takes the Psyshock very gracelessly. She recovers, standing up.
<Mages do not tend to be very defensive. Let's see if that holds true here,> she offered as she fired the attack off.
[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]-Scarlette nods. After a moment, though, the confidence slips from her.-
Scarlette: ...I... do have a favor to ask, though. Just for a short bit... would you be willing to bring me back home? I want to let my family know I'm okay.
DU-ICA-6: Ah, of course, our leader—
-They pause, the blue light in their lens flickering slightly.-
DU-ICA-6: Pardon, the leader would like to speak directly. Commencing audio transmission.
-They go rigid, and a different, less TTS-y voice comes crackling through the speaker in the robotic Pidgey's mouth.-
DU!Icarus: [Hello, this is Icarus speaking. Is this working? This is actually the first time I'm using this particular equipment outside the testing room. Do you read me, Successors?]
Air Raid: <Yes, we hear you.>
Corrin: Where did you say you last knew where she was going? That is most likely our best bet of finding a lead to her.
Montu squawks as he's slung over Oppenheimer's shoulder fireman style, but doesn't wriggle or writhe about.
Montu: <The old man..? I don't remember any particularly elderly 'ken's round here outside Nanna Zade, and she's a Nanna. Are there more flock members I haven't met?>
I'm having to learn to pay the price
-Other!Jab is thrown from the table, but resists the attack, and comes up grinning-
Other!Jab: <You're welcome to try! You may have Blaze Kick but I have...>
-his crest flares out, more small sparks spreading, as he pops his claws-
<Presentation!>
Jab: <Articuno, I hope you're watching!>
-as the flames approach, moisture collects from the air, forming tendrils of fog, and then abruptly a wave, pooling up from the ground-
-it's not tall, but Jab ducks down, taking shelter in it as he skates through the Flamethrower, not aiming to hit Fuzz so much as circumvent-
<...Not because I need luck or anything. But someone should see how awesome I'm being.>
Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.
