My condolences for ever encountering her. If you need help - of any sort -, just ask.

From: Kai
Other than associated Pokemon, the only other ally I know she has is one Livius Cain. Another vampire, and one I've gotten a bit more directly on the bad side of.
Vampire hunters are... probably a good resource to call in, but the problem is I'm not the only target, and I don't know who she'll go after first. I don't want to risk her thinking I've attracted too much attention to the situation.
From: Kai
Thank you. And I'm sorry for the threat I delivered however many months ago.
From: Silas
I got a shortsword that does wonders against the undead, it's filled with sunlight and called the Dawnbreaker. Need it?

Dunsparce didn't stop being a thing or anything.Stormchaser
From: Tagg
We do have to consider the possibility that they may already have an inkling that you've turned against them and we need to get you to our island safehouse. We're going to end up fighting Livius and Carmilla either way, so we also need to decide what we're gonna do with them when that time comes.
I... highly doubt most mortal prisons can hold them, they seem unlikely to simply stop hunting you and will turn their attentions on to us even if you die, and if they're at mininum centuries old they have to be pretty good at covering their tracks.

listen, whatever you need, let me know
From: Isbrand
I think it's pretty obvious what we should do. Centuries-old vampires that have harmed countless innocents, including our own? Their souls should have gone to Yveltal a long time ago, if they even have them.
Always wanted to kill a vampire.

-Kai lets out the sort of laugh you'd expect from someone who audibly sounds like they've given up.-
Kai: Under normal circumstances, that would worry me, but... I'm glad to hear it now.
-They hug Brie tightly, before checking their phone again.-
From: Kai
She's not undead. A lot of the traditional vampire tropes are exaggerations, too — sunlight doesn't technically hurt them, it weakens them at most. So while that sword might hurt, it'll hurt the same way any other weapon does. Which I don't think will be enough on its own.
I know there's no getting out of this without them dying, though. I know that can't be avoided. I'm not trying to this time.

From: Colton
Thank you for the warning, but it would have been nice if you told us earlier. I don't think any less of you for this, but if you've been in her employ for the past year, and she's been making you do things you don't want, and has threatened your life and the lives of people you care for, and you only waited until now to say something, it makes me think you don't think we could help.
Sure, we might not have been able to, but we could have offered. What can you tell us about vampires that mythology doesn't tell us? And what from mythology is legends spread by them for laughs and/or misdirection?
Hearthhome City
Sunny was able to avoid the hand, but Sylveon was less fortunate. The Delphox-turned-human conjured two flare whips before throwing them at the glitch as Mystical Fires.

-The shadows have been quiet this whole time-
-However at Bridgit's words Mimikyu tendrils restrain Braun as Baba Yaga phases in, going in for the kill-
Contact Me!Braun begins to panic, "Let go of me you animal! You can't do this to me! I would have been perfect! A god!"
He's fizzing and glitching much more heavily.
Jackal takes a deep sigh and looks away, "Make it quick Yaga, let's make this clean."
Brigit watches in horror as Hayon takes a deep inhale, closing his senses off for the result.
Orre Tower
Taipan closed her visors and placed Murphy in his ball. There was no point in watching this.
Everyone has their limits.

Behind her helmet, Lamb winced as Braun was... falling victim to whatever Yaga was doing.

I used to plug my deviantart here but turns out the link was too long.Arthur takes the chance on the slowed Admin and starts initiating a flurry of quick punches right to the man's face, "Clutch, Toss," he commands after 7 blows.
Clutch nods and proceeds to attempt to toss the man into a wall.
Then I'm afraid I'm not much help, I'm a science type by nature and given time and study I could sort out something but we don't have that and I'm not Noiverman. I can't just prep time this.
I'll keep a eye out however, how do vampires take light amplified by stimulated emissions of radiation? Or massive amounts of fire and aura attacks?
Braun's screaming slows like a recording losing power before the glitching form of his finally fizzles out in Baba Yaga's hands. <It's done,> Amber says slightly mortified.
Jackal takes another deep inhale, it wasn't easy, he had some responsibility for this, he had signed off on Braun's essential "death" and the leader was culpable for the actions of his troops.
~We did what we had to, Braun was dangerous and clearly not together, whether it be because he was working for pokefutures, the 20 years of isolation, the digitization of his soul... We did what we could and we've made the world a little better, this place is dead now, it's over.~
Jackal nodded, "I'll still have a nightmare from all this," he muttered, only to find the arms of Fox wrapped around him.
Jackal turned to Baba and her team, and was about to speak about what had just happened, when the tower began to shake, one thought hit his head, "Everyone on the Wing. Now! Anything that man was holding together doesn't have him guiding it anymore! We're getting out of here!"
Fox nodded and rushed on board the Wing, Jackal close behind.
Braun groaned and rubbed his neck, "Augh... the hell. Buncha idiots, so worried about killing me, was already dead anyways, how do they expect to get anything done if they can't make those hard choices. Losers."
He looked about, "The hell am I? Is this the afterlife? Valhalla? Heaven? Is there a hell? Heh probably filled with all those rights activists who get so angry about testing, well wherever I am, I just need to bide my time, maybe I'll find some team who better appreciates the talents of a prodigal cyberneticist. Maybe so-"
Braun stopped as he saw a storm cloud enter, a swirling mass of black and red matter that shifted in shape, he stared in horror as the thing began to change, and upon further inspection he realized the black and red bits were actually souls, many souls swirling and forming a singular being.
It took on the shape of a woman in a red dress with a amused smile, Braun felt no words in his mouth as he stared at the thing before him.

I don't know. Probably about as well as you'd expect for anyone with superhuman abilities. Aura might be less effective overall to someone who can drain the stuff, especially at her proficiency. That's all theory, though. There's so much I don't know.

Ren's Apartment
-Ren has skipped trying to use any real cooking utensils and heat and instead has made simple sandwiches for lunch.--Cambria, meanwhile, is humming quietly as she gently strokes the surface of the egg she and Ren made.-
Cambria: You know, I am going to do this properly and keep our egg safe as a Pokemon...
Keys: <Oh crap. I forgot to do this last post...>
-ALL FOUR of Keys' keys glow brightly.-
Cambria: Huh?
-Thin chains made of pink energy form and loop around the armband Cambria is wearing and harmlessly phase through Cambria's arm, firmly attaching the armband to the transformed Ninetales.-
Cambria: -glaring at Keys- You have thirty seconds to explain before I throw you into an incinerator.
Keys: <Those are to ensure that you don't take the armband off for nine months.>
Cambria: -blinks- What.
*CRASH*
-Ren drops the plate he was cleaning in the sink.-
Ren: Keys. Please say you are pulling a really bad joke...
Keys: <Nope. You two didn't just conceive Oscar in the early hours this morning. You conceived both your kids.>
*THUD*
-Ren just passed out from shock.-
-Cambria blanking looks from the egg in her lap and then her stomach and back in rapid succession several times.-
Keys: <Also, it might might be a good idea to have Oscar and Aria stay in a separate apartment from now on. You know have the same person from from two different points in their timeline in close proximity to each other - without Legendary permission and assistance - is just asking for trouble.>
Cambria: So this is how Ren feels every year...
