"You kids get on back to that house. It'll be safer there. I'm gonna look around bit...and call AAA for the truck. That bitch shows up again, you let me know. Duke out."
-Duke pulls out his cell phone as he wanders into the forest-
"Vengeful meteor."
Sleeeep...

...The heck's AAA... Is it like AAAA?
(Hosh raises an eyebrow as he watches Duke walk off, before turning back to his Pokémon)
Whew... good job, guys. Get some R&R now.
(he recalls Lady and Greninja back into red-and-white Poké Balls, but stops just before he returns Grayson when Ramona speaks up)
Oh, uh... it's no problem. You two just happened to get caught in a bad place at a bad time, is all - so did I, in fact.
(he looks back at his Charizard) Actually, Grayson - you gonna be OK for a ride?
(Grayson responds with a nod, a bruise still on his chest from that golden arrow - clearly, this dragon isn't gonna let a scuff like that let him look weak)
Alright, cool. Thanks. (looks back at Ramona and Ath) D'you two want a flight back to the house?
Enough to know that if you'd just told her you wouldn't have had to get your brain splattered against that tree and she could just go sulk somewhere for a while.
Don't think I'm letting her off the hook either. But this isn't about her right now. It's about you and you constantly thinking you know better than everyone. And you doing this when, if you can fish all that glitter from your coat out of your ears long enough to listen to me, we're still all one bad step away from all being killed, and she's our ace in the hole in case I go down first. And you're gonna have to evacuate everyone if I do. And neither of you can do your jobs if you're withholding information from each other out of spite, or dead.

(nods back, before pulling out a pager-looking thing from his backpack
◊)
(he clicks a few buttons on it, causing a saddle to spontaneously appear on Grayson's back - seems this one's big enough for three - as well as dispensing helmets and strange parachute-looking backpacks for each of them)
(hell, seems it produced one helm that could somehow fit over Ath's own astronaut helmet)
Alright, guys, let's go!
(Hoshi puts on his protective gear, before walking over to his Charizard and taking the reins)
...How the hell did they let you in the military? Trigger happy, can't work well with others, don't know how negotiations work...
...If it's any consolation, Majora probably won't screw us over. Because if she leaves you all to die, she'll probably try and keep me alive like she did when you tried to kill me. And I'll be trying to keep the rest of you alive anyway.

(despite the rushing wind, Hoshi hears Athena's giggling - that makes him smile)
(eventually, they land on the roof - thank goodness Charizard is small enough that it doesn't cramp shit on it at all)
Aaaaaand - we're here.
(hops off and clicks the Ride Pager once, causing only his protective gear to poof)

....Not everyone knows everything about everyone else all the time, Cloud.
If you really want to know how I was let into the military, then maybe you should ask around.
You asked me once if I would leave Gjallarhorn. And I'll say it again, I will serve to live up to my family's legacy. And that is all I will ever say on the subject.
Good night, Mr. Strife. (And with that, he walks off)
Right, that's it, I'm done for now.
"We all fail. We all make mistakes. That is what makes us human."

...
...Because Majora is a threat to one of my friends?
And it's none of your damn business.
Oh, and she threatened to tear apart your employer, by the way.
