The Stormchaser

Siobhan: "Conniving son of a bitch."

Lumiose, Tyrannotitan Kurodil

As the thing evaporates in purple light, Mordred collapses over onto her face, unconscious.

Artoria drops to a knee, panting.

F!Robin just... lowers her Thoron tome, before putting it away.

The three are then unceremoniously swept up by a Salamence, who flies them to the Stormchaser.

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

-For just a moment, the Feral Dragon stands triumphantly atop the defeated body of Ruby Weapon.-

-It was a really awesome fight, you guys, you totally should have been there to see it.-

-But then it disintegrates. The Feral Dragon snarls, looking around wildly for any other threats.-

-Then slowly calms down, and reverts, leaving a Hakamo-o passed the fuck out on the ground.-

-After some bickering, the rest of Mason's team collects her and returns.-

The Battle of Lumiose

-Lissa blinks at Colton's sudden transformation into Talbain.-

Lissa: ...What.

-She's so taken aback that by the time she's composed herself and read the email, she glances up to see the Multicarrier vanish from the skies.-

Lissa: ...Oh. That was quick. Guess we're in capable company. I got all that adrenaline pumping for nothing... still, saved the city, so yay for that. Wanna lift back to the Stormchaser?

-She slaps Foxglove on the flank, giving Talbain time to hop on before she flies off to the airship.-

Stormchaser, Post-raid

-Shaun, Gabrielle, and Isbrand are lying in hospital beds, the former just being fed, like, a whole gallon jar of pickles by Jessica.-

-Turns out sending your body into overdrive is bad.-

Beowulf: "You tore half your muscles, your heart nearly exploded, and both of your arms were dislocated."

Shaun: -Pickle juice dripping out of his mouth- "Whoops?"

Jessica: "How's Isbrand?"

Beowulf: <Three broken ribs, a shattered kneecap, both tibias fractured, left arm broken, and a major concussion.>

Jessica: 0_0

Beowulf: "Thankfully, Gabrielle had relatively minor injuries. She just went into shock."

Gabrielle: "Heh. Juste."

Beowulf: "Rest, for now. Make sure he eats his pickles, Jessica."

-Jessica salutes Beowulf.-

---

-Beowulf wanders into the kitchen and grabs a mug and a pot of coffee.-

Beowulf: <Screw it.>

-He chugs the coffee straight from the pot. A vine snakes past him.-

Naganadel: <Pardon me. I am acquiring refreshments for my companions.>

-He grabs a jar of Pokébeans, a box of doughnuts, and some soda cans before disappearing back to Elizabeth's room.-

---

Lyra: <WE WEREN'T EVEN GONE FIVE HOURS!>

-Elizabeth shrugs.-

---

Zelel: <Hmm.>

Michael: <What?>

Zelel: <It appears my backdoor to Mobius's files has been closed. Unfortunate.>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

Lumiose

Talbain’s eyes glow red, looking up at the Multicarrier. <We got prettied up for nothing!> he howled at the Multicarrier after getting up on the Tropius.

Hesitantly, Roy followed suit, talons digging into the Grass-type’s back in nervousness.

Talbain managed to get comfortable but Roy, not so much.

Stormchaser

-Channah spent the whole second phase just sitting there, nursing her wounded leg and wondering who the fuck all these people popping up were-

Channah: -to Nino- You're alright?

Nino: Yes! Did you see that knight in the armor? Is he another... one of us?

Channah: Yes and I have no idea. Ouch.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Stormchaser

-To Alex-

Well it's not really the sort of thing th-Just follow the Stormchaser, you'll understand eventually.

Some time later, PEFE HQ, somewhere in the Sea of Kyogre

-The Stormchaser and following airships land in the airship bay-

Flying up in the stratosphere is always kinda nervewracking....

I should probably have another J-Team meeting in the next couple days.

Well I already went over this on the way here but 1) this place's protections render us invisible to our enemies and 2) if you don't want to sleep on the Stormchaser there's the J-Team modules.

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

PEFE HQ

-After arriving at PEFE HQ, Alice and the rest of the Faction have disembarked the Stormchaser. Thankfully, there are only a handful of minor injuries between them, with one exception...-

Minstrel: Oh, I lament that I could have lived just a little longer! Remember me, you redoubtable renegades, my finest friends. Tell my story as it should have been sung...

Alice: Your mask is chipped. We'll get you a new one. You'll be fine.

Minstrel: Perhaps, but it shan't be the same!

-Lissa, however, is off to the side and looks over at either Talbain or Colton depending on which form he's taking.-

Lissa: So... you can make sharp shadow claws with your hands, and you can turn into a dog. Most of the guys I hang out with can do, like, maybe one of those things. What's your deal?

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.

-Everyone has made it here.-

-Kai, having definitely been fighting alongside Alice's Faction after their meeting with Carmilla, just sorta trudges tiredly out of the airship.-

-Echo remains on the Stormchaser, looking back through the files and info she stole from Mobius years ago.-

-Evan managed to make it here, as did the Rustbucket crew. We'll touch on their reunion later.-

-Diane, Skye, and Alyssa walk out to the bay upon seeing the airships land.-

Skye: We heard the news, is everyone safe?

Diane: We were too slow to offer any help, sorry.

-Kai waves, visibly exhausted.-

Kai: For varying states of "okay", yeah. We made it out alive, is what matters, yeah?

-They nod.-

PEFE HQ

“Big pseudo-eldritch tome filled with Dark-type techniques and I’m also a weremon with an enchanted Sun Stone that can be used to activate or deactivate my transformation,” Colton summarized after reverting from Talbain.

<Never mind that,> Roy interjected. “Where are we?” He asked after reverting to humanity himself.

PEFE HQ, Airship Bay

-Feels a sudden tug on my pants leg-

Deino #1: <Food.>

Deino #2: <Tagg you smell different, kinda like Aya, but different.>

Oh, about that...

Hydreigon: -Comes up and sniffs- <Tagg, do you have anything to eat?>

Azumarill: <Muddy said that Channah person's with you, can we meet her?>

-Behind her is a whole host of other mons-

Fuck...

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

PEFE HQ

Locke: The SATWHUL is also available.

-All my J-Team and J-Team allied characters are now here-

-Team Umbra couldn't make it to the fight but is here now-

-We'll deal with some reunions later-

Contact Me!

PEFE HQ

-Someone's phone might be ringing. Might be a J-Teamer, might be what counts as reception for the HQ-

-It's a voice call. In 2018 no less-

-How quaint-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

PEFE HQ

-Most of my characters are here.-

-Assuming HQ has a hospital/infirmary Kaiiseii is transferring peoplemons there.-

-Ace is notably hobbling around, eyes shining (metaphorically).-

Ace: <So this is PEFE HQ...>

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

PEFE HQ

-Lissa blinks slowly at Colton.-

Lissa: ...Riiight. Full disclosure, I got maybe half of that, and one of my colleagues is a literal shapeshifter. At least, I think he is. Haven't managed to get a peep under the mask to check yet.

-She waves a hand around her.-

Lissa: Anyway, this is PEFE HQ, apparently. Don't ask me what that stands for. Alice says it's some base of operations for these J-Team guys. You with them?

PEFE HQ, oooooo new area

Nino: -returns to the Stormchaser to find Legault now that the battle is over, after promising a nonplussed Channah that she'll come back to check on her later-

Channah: -looks around as she uses Big Savings as a crutch to walk off the airship- (So this is where-) Uh. -sees all of Tagg's assembled Pokémon and stops-

Big Savings: -holds out a box of dried spaghetti in Hydreigon's direction-

Channah: -to Tagg, not quite looking him in the eye- ...Cute kids.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

Arthur, 16, and Denali stepped off the ship.

"So fascinating to see how one flies without a mon," Arthur comments, having switched out of his suit of armor and back into some more casual looking clothing.

"Yeah things have really changed. I'm more surprised you aren't thrown off by the fact that the interior seems to warp space," Denali added.

"I fought a Cathedral that constantly changed, I can handle a ship that's bigger on the inside."

16 however is more focused on PEFE, <I was built to find this place, capture personnel and take them to Rossum so we could learn their secrets. I am glad I left, this place has many birds.>

"Do all you ever think about is birds?"

Denali shrugged, and then they saw Diane, and they smiled wistfu- wait, Diane was here. Arthur was here.

Denali looked between the two, and realized that both sets of abs and arms they loved were in the same area. Denali's brain shut down and Denali collapsed on the floor.

16 picked up the unconscious fae, who was babbling something about a "ripped paradise" and proceeded to carry them off to a medical bay.

Arthur walked around the landing pads, "So strange..."

-Diane blinks at Denali-

Diane: ...Rip.

Kai: Ripped, to be sure. Gods, I'm so tired.

PEFE HQ

Okay Tagg, it's been a couple days since that mess, play it cool.

Well a lot of them I did raise from when they were pretty young, but yeah they're pretty cute.

Hydreigon: -Sniffs before giving it to her kids for them to eat-

Darner: -Gets all her 6'3" long body right in Channah's face- <Hi!>

Darner, she's funny about that, give her some place.

-The Yanmega complies-

Deino #1: -Joined by their other 5 siblings- <You smell even more like Aya.>

-The other mons start crowding as they try taking stock of their trainer's newest companion-

Botuli: -A bit aside- <This place reminds me of Aether Paradise.>

Tyto: <It does kinda.>

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

PEFE HQ

-In the middle of the Faction's debriefing, Alice catches sight of Kai in the crowd.-

Alice: ...You know what? We can do this tomorrow. Find a module and get settled in. I'll see you all in the morning.

-As the assorted members of the faction disperse, she comes up to Kai and puts a hand on their shoulder.-

Alice: Hey. How are you feeling?

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.

PEFE HQ

Channah: -stiffens, but not without a tiny smile forming on her face- Hi. Aya?

Big Savings: -waving merrily as she hand over the pasta- < whats up you meme loving fucks >

Channah: -coughs- That just means hello.

There is no disdain in nature, there is no humiliation.

-Kai blinks at Alice, but relaxes and sorta leans into her.-

Kai: Hey. I'm exhausted as hell, but feeling... decent otherwise.

PEFE HQ

-To Channah, jokingly-

My Talonflame, don't tell me you've forgotten?

Coulomb: -To Doc- <Where's Limna?>

Doc: <Still with that Macraul guy. Prick.>

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

PEFE HQ

Vi is out of the Stormchaser and looking around the airship bay.

Vi: "Interesting... I never would have thought this place to be this big."

All are significantly abnormal in a normal world... All are significantly normal in an abnormal world.

Arthur overhears the comments by Diane and Kai, and chooses not to pry about them, not his business.

he does step over, "Hello Diane, good to see you after... oh 600 years or so from my perspective. A few months from yours I guess, tell me, how successful were the replacement arm tests?"
