PEFE HQ, New Avengers Hideout

-Lillianna nods at Alyssa.-

Lillianna: Thank you. We'll stay here and try to remain unnoticed, unless the situation becomes untenable.

-She replaces the false wall panel as Alyssa leaves.-

---

-Outside the workshop module, a trio of figures in black IDPD uniforms are heading down the corridor, led by the shortest among them carrying a blade glowing with pinkish energy and calling out in [Finnish].-

Captain Axiom: Helloooooo? If you're an escapee from the future hiding somewhere in this huge, sprawling base, could you please come out? It's no fun if we just sit here playing hide-and-seek all day, is it?

-One of the figures by her side makes a noise that to anyone standing next to them would simply sound like garbled, glitchy static.-

IDPD Private #1: █̵̷█͏̕▒̡͜▒̸͟҉́▒͏҉░̀͜͡▒̴̸͢͠▒͡▓҉̨͝▓̷̢̢̧▓͟҉̶̷̸░̵̛͘͟░͝͏́͘͠ ̵̵̡̛͜▓̸̛͟͠͠▓̴̴̵░̷̢͜░҉̶͢▓̷̶̶̷̛▓̡͘͡░̸̀́͜͟░̴̧́͘͜█̸̡̛͜█̵̡͟█͏̢͘͢͠▒̛̕▒̸̶̵̶͝▒̵͘▓̵█̸̴̕͟

Captain Axiom: Yes, I know protocol says to clear buildings room by room, but I find my way to be a lot quicker.

-As she speaks, she waves her hand, and a nearby wall panel is telekinetically torn away and sent hurtling down the corridor.-

Captain Axiom: See? Much more expedient~

-Seeing Pentigan's text-

Fuck, don't mind telling him, Pent can actually keep a secret (He's up to the gills in them), but I don't want the others knowing yet. If he asks I'll tell him after this is over.

After hearing the clanging, the lone IDPD Agent makes his way to Axiom and her trio of agents.

Inspector Pyferi: -Upon approach- Captain.

PEFE HQ

Yunuko is currently doing her, well, job, keeping an eye out for threats.

Yunuko: "... Right. Well, hopefully that... distrust? Can work in our favor."

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

PEFE HQ, PEFE!Every's module

-PEFE!Every is having a terrible day-

-she's locked out of her usual channels for defending the HQ, her Legion is who-knows-where, and her room is trying to kill her-

-if she weren't already panicking at the possibility of imminent death, she'd most likely be having a panic attack-

-Nadia is fortunately less bothered, since Vera can't really access anything except the electrification of various parts of the module, and flying sort of nullifies that as a tactic-

PEFE!Every: Oh gods, oh gods, oh gods...

Nadia: <Where's Cervantes when you need him...? Hey! Every!>

PEFE!Every: What?

Nadia: <Um, don't panic.>

PEFE!Every: ...

Nadia: <Sorry. Helping you not panic is really more Cervantes' job than mine. I'm just ordering you around.>

PEFE!Every: Do I take orders from you?

Nadia: <You are, technically speaking, an honorary legionnaire. We just like you, so Beatrice told us to listen to you.>

PEFE!Every: ...

Nadia: <So, don't panic.>

-...-

-PEFE!Every blinks a couple times, staring at Nadia rather owlishly-

PEFE!Every: ...Well, if you insist.

Nadia: <Now, let's see. Felicity's better than I am at this, but...>

PEFE HQ, lower corridor

-Vera grins at Yunuko, not that it's noticeable under her helmet-

Vera: Naturally. I've isolated her from those damned snakebees, which means she won't have any sort of backup. I just need to push a little bit mo—

-the door to PEFE!Every's module blasts off its hinges, and PEFE!Every dives out of it, followed by Nadia-

-and finds herself face to face with Vera and her squad-

-...-

PEFE!Every: Hello? Who exactly are you,what are you doing in this facility, and how have you been operating my systems?

Vera: Always falling back on suspicion, aren't you?

-in a completely unwarranted move, she removes her helmet. Nadia lets out a gasp of surprise, while PEFE!Every just sort of...stares-

Vera: Mother.

PEFE HQ, near Lex's module

~Head in the game, Brie. Someone's up ahead.~

Right! Okay, here's the plan...

-one hastily thought-out plan later-

~I don't like this plan. At all.~

It's our best option. Which one looks stronger?

~The one yanking open and slamming steel doors.~

I hope you won't mind if I leave them to you.

~Don't die.~

-and as Halcyon approaches, he launches Brie towards Inspector Bellucci for an assisted flying tackle, firing a Psybeam at the Captain himself-

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

-The birbs are interrupted in conversation by the sound of their module wall being torn off.-

Diane: ...

Skye: ...

Diane: ...Well, fucking excuse me, then. There was a door, you know, mind if I ask why you ignored it?

PEFE HQ

If it had been anyone else, there probably would've been a comment about 'mission protocol' and 'why are you taking your helmet off, lieutenant.'

Yunuko could care less, she didn't like them anyhow.

Instead, she dropped into a kneeling position with an approximately 160 degree rotation from the directions she'd been facing whilst standing, pointing her gun at Pef.

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

Stormchaser, Amaplot

Daydre is perhaps deceptively heavy, but is picked up nonetheless.

Ama: -voice echoing from nowhere in particular- "Given this is where I was most of the time at this point in time, it wasn't really my place to pick..."

Hellebore blows another Blizzard down the hallway, Alstroemeria mixing little Psyshock pieces in with the snow and ice.

PEFE HQ

Daydre has been having Hellebore sit on her shoulder and ice the path behind her. That's probably inconveniencing someone right? She rounds a corner aaand....

Catches the Captain breaking doors with her bare hands. Or I guess not bare hands because she's probably wearing gloves? Anyway. Daydre yelps an exceedingly quiet "fuck" before backing away. She then trips, says a considerably louder fuck, and starts running.

off the shits

PEFE, Near Lex's Module.

As the attacks from Brie and Halcyon approach, the Inspector throws up a shield wall of electrified Obscura. Absorbing Halcyon's psychic attack and tazing Brie as she passes through it.

Inspector Bellucci: Sembra che abbiamo compagnia, 'sor.

He pulls out a Pokeball and releases the Luxray inside as the inspector himself begins to sway.

Inspector Bellucci: Preparatevi, 'sor

The Captain glances towards Halcyon and Brie, glaring at them through her visor.

ITPD Captain: Seisomaan, siviilejä.

She pulls out a Pokeball from her belt as a wordless warning. The Inspector and Captain hear the loud ~Thunk~ of Daydre tripping over, but decide not to pursue it as Brie is the more immediate threat.

PEFE, Avenger Hideout.

Cytiss points upwards before responding to the birbs with strange and broken sounding [Japanese].

Inspector Pyferi: The stars. Not fortuitous. To use doors. Can't do it. Not today. At least. You know?

PEFE HQ - I Lost Track Of Who Was Where

''~I detect groups at the module of Diane, Skye, and Alyssa as well as Dr. Memito's module.~

~Understood. I'll head towards the good doctor.~

-Shaun drops to the ground, sprinting towards PEFE!Every's module. Something keeps pace in the nearby vents.-

---

Isbrand: "You know, this blaster doesn't even work. I fucking forgot to charge it."

-She holsters it and looks at Hellfire.-

Isbrand: "Ready?"

-Hellfire nods as a Mega Cocoon envelopes him.-

"Dang that sure is totally poggers my good bitch"

PEFE HQ, LL Module

-Axiom seems momentarily surprised at her wanton destructiveness yielding actual results, but she quickly switches gears to [Japanese] to answer Diane and Skye.-

Captain Axiom: Oh hey, someone does live here after all! Listen, do you mind telling us if there's a scrawny, dark-haired, kinda underfed-looking kid hiding somewhere around here? Only we're kinda in a hurry.

-She sends out a Granbull, while the two agents by her side send out a Reuniclus and a Meowstic. At about the same time, she notices Inspector Pyferi and waves.-

Captain Axiom: Cytiss! Glad you could join the party~

-good call, Shaun, because she could use the assist-

PEFE!Every: Nadia, behind me. I don't want you taking a shot.

Nadia: <And all the Dunsparce here appreciate that, but I am significantly more likely than you to not die if shot.>

-and she remains hovering at PEFE!Every's shoulder-

Vera: ...Figures you would have come up with some way of understanding Pokemon. Figures double you never would have told me.

PEFE!Every: I was surprised myself. So, again, who are you? I don't have a daughter.

ITPD Grunt #1: (in [Finnish]) Hey, should you really be—

Vera: The name's Vera Memito, and I think you can figure it out for yourself.

Hmm. Ringing no bells...wait.

-a thought occurs to PEFE!Every. An old experiment, which she shelved indefinitely for a whole host of ethical and practical (admittedly mostly practical) reasons-

PEFE!Every: ...Are you a clone?

Vera: There's that brain!

ITPD Grunt #2: ([Finnish]) You're monologuing, Deputy Captain.

-Vera whirls on the Grunt-

Vera: I am not monologuing!

PEFE!Every: You are. A little. It's alright; I think it's genetic.

Vera: Oh, like I asked for your genes, Mother. Shield-Corporal, just shoot her. Nonlethally if you can, but don't get too fussed if you can't.

PEFE HQ, Near Lex's Module

...Oh no.

-Brie hits the wall and cries out in pain, landing hard and unpleasantly-

~Brie!~

I'm fine! Just a little stunned!

~When are you going to learn that there's no point in lying to someone reading your mind?~

I get enough of this from Skyfire, Halcyon!

-Brie pulls herself about half of the way back to her feet, leaning on her crutch for support-

Brie: ...Hi. So, uh—

I think that was Italian? Knew I should've taken that class...and what was that other language the other one was speaking?

-she decides she might as well just continue in [Japanese]-

So, uh, sorry about startling you, but we're sort of...guarding someone? Because we need to keep a bunch of mons from dying horribly for avoidable reasons.

~WHAT ARE YOU DOING~

I'M IMPROVISING I REALLY DON'T WANT TO FIGHT AN ELECTRIC OBSCURIC WHO PROBABLY HAS A WHOLE TEAM OF ELECTRIC MONS

Edited by memyselfandI2 on Dec 13th 2018 at 6:34:16 AM

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.

For James, dealing with the invaders had proved difficult, he had tried using his sidearm against them to wound but after the first 3 shots did nothing, it became clear that wasn't a option. He had resorted to pulling out his entire team and CQC, after all when fighting it made no sense not to gain every advantage.

He stepped over a unconscious invader and spoke into his radio, "This is James Smith, I'm dealing with a few of them, if anyone can hear me, could you fill me in on what we're dealing with?"

He saw a few more ahead and resumed his stance, "Gray... Get us close."

<Yes... the battlefield, where I belong.>

A few of the IDPD comms would become active, and filled with static. "KSSSHSS-BACKUP!" "KSSSSSSSH-Unknown Cyborg! Reques-KSSSSSSSSSH!" "KSS-OH ARCEUS OH GOD! NANI-KSSSSSSSSH!" "Nanite Weapon! Repeat! Nanite Weap-KSSSSSSSSSH!"

Cylus tossed another poor IDPD Private into a wall, with a deep sigh, "Again... why can't I kill them?"

Hayon tossed a aura sphere and knocked out the Weavile the office had, <Because we're at PEFE HQ and they wouldn't take kindly to us if we killed. Do you really wanna face them?>

Cylus shrugged, it made sense, even if he felt he was better armed, he continued that thought by morphing his arm into it's pulse cannon mode and fired at another officer rushing at him, sending the shmuck flying, "Boo-yah!"

Skye: ...Son of a...

Diane: Wow, you just keep getting ruder and ruder. First you rip off the wall to our home, then you completely skip past the part where I play you for a fool. Come on, I had this whole bit prepared. "I'm sorry, officer, if you're looking for someone, I'm registered under the LILA Act, you have the wrong girl". I had my ID and everything ready! But nope, you skipped that whole cutscene.

Skye: Cutscene????

Diane: So now, let's punish that sequence breaking. Oh, and punish ripping our wall off too. First off, by getting rid of that Aura Sense. Phoenix!

-A staticky "On it!" echoes through the sound system, and then the air is filled with the quiet hum of a Jammer.-

Skye: All right, now Plan B.

Diane: The one where we kick your ass.

-And suddenly, there's a glow of light around Diane, followed by a very powerful Staraptor barreling into the Granbull to force it into the wall on the opposite side of the hallway they just came through.-

Diane: <No hard feelings, unless you're just as much of a dick as they are.>

-Meanwhile, Skye is spending her action inputting something into her phone, before she switches to Skarmory form herself. A pair of loud turbines in the workshop whirr to life.-

-Lieutenant H. G. Cross was having a good time.-

-He never was a fan of guns. Instead he had his Lucario, Scizor, and Shiny Klinklang bust through walls, cameras, and module walls while his Steelix made bridges between modules-

H. G. Cross: Ahahahahaha! You lot are no match for the I D P fucking D!

-he briefly removes his helmet, which already had the facemask removed, to preen his hair-

Ah, I love this job.

---

-Molph, Mauve, and Squirps are moving carefully through the chaos, taking out any IDPD agents and their mons they come across-

Molph: <Who even are these guys?>

Mauve: {Really bad news, that's what!}

Squirps: They are the Interdimensional Police Department, supposed enforcers of the timespace continuum and sworn enemies of the Ultra Recon Squad.

-behind his mask he narrows his eyes-

...There's a few I have a beef with in particular...

PEFE HQ Ventilation Vents, closing in on Lex's module

Jonathan, still in his form as a rotomdex, is approaching the area where the captain and Inspector Bellucci are on a standoff between Brie and a bunch of pokémon at the door.

Jonathan: This is Dancing Bewear to Captain Harlock. I am above the target location. Deputy Captain Memito and the ISPD operatives have taken out a lot of the security measures in this section. I am directly above the captain and Inspector Bellucci, in the middle of an engagement between a trainer and some of the pokémon guarding the area. Should I serve as backup or do I proceed into the room and wait for further instruction?

Random Private: Albright, there's some nanite-using cyborg attacking our rear flank.

Stormchaser, Past

Oh, you're a time traveler... Does...

-Pent was slowed down by thoughts of stuff he could ask but at the same time most of it was fairly inconsiderate-

There's some pretty decent therapists in this era who could help with that temporal self-harm problem...

PEFE HQ Raid

-A string of module breach warnings-

-A cluster of camera outages-

-Pent could tell that someone was making a desperate and destructive bid for whatever archive, lab or vault these time-travelling invaders wanted-

>Are you sure about this course of action sir?

Sure, fortifications ready guys?

-His mons had assembled a makeshift barricade, mostly out of various crates and spare building supplies Pent had acquired yonks ago to work on bag-based habitation-

>I should of returned with the... Nevermind, executing movement queue.

-Modules started moving ahead of the destructive timecop, namely one empty module to delay and then the one Pent and his mons had taken up combat position in-

It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

PEFE HQ - Near Lex's Module

The two stare at Brie, before the Inspector responds in [Japanese].

Inspector Bellucci: ...Well why didn't you say so?

The Inspector makes a mocking spectacle for a moment.

Inspector Bellucci: Come on everyone, let's close up shop~ We're not needed here anyway~

The Inspector chuckles (though it comes out as a crackle through the vocoder) as he way too casually approaches Brie, his sister just stares at him.

Inspector Bellucci: I'm pretty sure you guys have him for some sort of good reason. At least I hope you do. Hope you're not using him to, I don't know, design weapons or tech for some criminal organisation that you could sell for a profit and are just saying "he's saving Pokemon Lives" to tug at those emotional strings but.

He shrugs, his Luxray has begun to roll around in lazy cat fashion.

Inspector Bellucci: We need the Lex kid back, per favore. Not only could he be a potential threat in that sense. But - and this is information only some of us agents know - his family is looking for him, and they kinda want him back now.

The Captain looks like she's going to choke her brother from the gesticulating she's doing.

ITPD Captain: Mitä sinä teet!?

Inspector Bellucci: Avaa vuoropuhelu.

The Captain shouts in frustration as she begins storming off in the direction that she heard Daydre trip over in.

ITPD Captain: Käsittelet niitä. Käsittelen toisen.

She releases the Incineroar inside the Pokeball, who leers at Brie as she's released.

ITPD Captain: Sammartina, come.

The Incineroar chuffs at Brie.

Sammartina: <Fvfvf! Lucky.>

And storms off with her trainer.

PEFE HQ - Avenger Hideout.

Cytiss, rather than use any auric (?) powers, activates the Energy Sword and Energy Blaster on his belt and with the blaster takes a shot at Diane and Skye (It's set to stun, DW)

With the hilt of his sword, he hits what seems to be a Beast Ball off his belt and kicks it open.

???: Brr-rrr-rrr?

The glass, jelly-like form of a Nihilego is released from its confines and floats ominously

Inspector Pyferi: Ctena. Venom Drench

Ctena: Brr-rrr-rr!

The Nihilego, rather than attempt to attack either Skye or Diane, instead opts into covering the LL labs in a sickly poison. Seemingly without care or consideration.

At least it's not two-on-one anymore...still, not the one I'd like to be fighting. At least I can keep him talking...

They seem to know a lot, so I guess there wouldn't be harm in telling them...

I AM, HALCYON

But we're not keeping him around for the company, Lugia knows. He made something while he was here that got a lot of Pokemon badly hurt, and we sort of need him until he can finish figuring out a way to heal them. After that, sure, please get him off our hands.
