Oh dear! Eve steps back a little, taken aback by the transmission and Emma's lashing out. She instantly changes her opinion, thinking the static could perhaps be some military-grade mental wave blocker? It didn't matter entirely, because there were many of her to be around if Emma lashed out. Though Eve's nonetheless decided to avoid that, still thinking Emma might be an ally, if nothing else, just a PTSD-induced soldier over a mentally deficient young woman.

Yes! May the Man go fornicate himself! Tell the military industriel complex what they need to hear! Wohoo! She yells, raising her arms high above her head as she also starts yelling... though she does lower her arms eventually and lean in, cupping her hands around her mouth.

But there are children around, could you use lighter words? Here. Eve hands Emma a tiny book. It features a (nicely-drawn) picture of her with beady black eyes and a smile, pointing to a scratched-out "MOTHERFUCKER" and replacing it with "Oedipus imitator!". Everywhere around Eve are much lesser-drawn pictures of small stickmen children playing.

"SWEARING CAN GET WEARING: HOW TO EXPRESS FRUSTRATION IN A NICE WAY! By EVE"

Oh, and... She notices Emma's energy powers and uncontrollable glowing, and frowns. Please stop that, she asks, sternly but not necessarily unkindly. Your anger is best concentrated elsewhere than towards innocents.

Today can still go well! Just tell me how I could help you.

The Deal

Nagadilotep grinned, and held out his free hand to pat Mark's head. The Abyssal Scion, in the robes of a prince decided to play some of his cards, not to deceive, but to continue testing these waters. This man, could be the start of something great. He took a step back, some water audibly flowing towards his direction before fading, as Nagadilotep stood in a shallow pool of deep-water brine, the edges of such a pool frosting into incredibly fresh, spring water quality ice.

   "I think I understand you. They all laughed as you turned around slow. Their message was clear, you weren't welcome around here anymore. You just might as well go. You wiped the sorrow from your face as you slowly succumbed to envy."   

He slithered around practically, moving on his feet as if skating across the frozen polished surface of a still lake. He hummed a little, letting the words settle in, observing Mark's expression, his emotions, getting down to the meat of this person. Their character. But never once did his words sound laced with venom, rather an oddly cold sense of empathy.

   "And you promised you'll be back when they least expect it. And hell's coming with thee. After all, you hated how they lined their pockets full of fortunes that they steal from the poor. I agree with your dissertation, so let me offer you something, the might of the sea."   


Astil-Lourent Conflict.

The arrival of the choppers immediately put the Pyre Bastiladons on the defensive, their massive club tails swinging behind them as they would swat a few more soldiers into nothing more than chum, as they entered a protective position. They lowered their bodies and assumed their tail swinging over near their faces, intending to deliver a killer blow to those who wandered too close. The Skink's tried to man the Magma Prism Cannon, finding no luck to get an arc that would effectively land a hit on the choppers. As soon as the shots began, the skinks manning the equipment scattered and hid amidst the wall of war beast, which while able to withstand the volley, were not doing so as effectively.

Kroq-Gar and the Saurus Warriors were now on the hunt, this wasn't a conflict anymore. They continued to chase the soldiers into the forest, where skinks lied in wait to stab them oncoming warmbloods with spears, which laced in the poisonous saps of thistles irritated their warm flesh and tainted their panicked blood. The Saurus warriors would now just stab the retreating soldiers in the back with their axes, halting them before sinking their teeth into their necks and severing their spinal cords from the head, throwing the body back to the ground as a few would just start chopping away at the stragglers.

The Skinks and Velociprey used their diminutive frames and pack tactics to disorient their opponent into circles. Some of the skinks would quickly tie up any survivors on the ground. They would take a handful of soldiers, before retreating back to the temple city, barking orders to one another as they quickly raced across no man's land to travel further east into the swamps. The Kroxigor quickly rushed into biting distance for many of the soldiers, attacking with swift bites that snapped with great audible force, leaving limbs to pop off and chest cavity's to crumple like wet tissues. All the while the Razordon sliced its way through the opposition with large, barbed spines and claws like jagged blades, leaving none alive and healthy enough to retaliate against the Kroxigor's offense.

And soon, a shadow could be seen over the helicopters. It appeared for only a second, and seemed to be of a large bird carrying something behind it. And it soon came back around, circling the helicopters suspended in the air, and each time it circled back into view, it became more obvious what it was. It was a pterosaur of some kind, with a rider, and a massive, boulder like artefact hanging from rope in its clutches. On the 5th time around it threw the boulder straight into the pilot's windshield, which judging by the fact it looked like it weighed over a ton is already bad enough, but it soon exploded with a ghostly blue mist, blazing the helicopter and its crew as they soon became nothing more than golden embers.

The Eyes of Hexoatl, The Daemon Hawk, Raven of Kratos. Motherfucking Tiktaq'to was on the scene. And he was pissed. He soon flew towards the other helicopter, no bomb this time, just his sky blade, and his terradon mount Zwuup. Which was still a very, very bad omen.

Polyphemus, starting to wise up to the attacks and their pattern, vaults over Rin's attack with a super jump and attempts to nail her in the back with a piercing laser.

Hub Central Eve

"Ah- Sorry kids- Er- Wait a goddamn second I'm talking to a--"

Emma chuckles maliciously, yet if gauged by intent, she seems reluctant even fighting at all. Like an ingrained urge for belligerence against her kind till she can calm down internally. But considering she's much more clear minded, she does take the time to read the booklet given to her while floating upwards.

If you won't die to the dung I'll be flinging at you, my day can go a little more well! That manslaughter over there makes me glad! You aren't some low life that'll make my fricking day worse by instantly dying! Emma's broken phone morphs into her handgun but in a much more unstable state.    But of course, you aren't so innocent yourself"   

She starts firing homing volleys of energy shots — to avoid collateral — at the Eve consoling her. Her gun repeatedly jamming between shots, making her stop in the air afterwards to switch between gun forms to see which ones aren't broken. They all are.


Estadeal

He did not expect the headpat, but at this point, William's done it enough times to him to where he holds no reaction. The mild cryomancy and hydromancy at play alongside Nagadilotep somehow reading him like an open book, makes his eyes widen from that surprise. But being read like that flusters him for a moment, words put in his mouth in a way he didn't even know exist.

"How the-"

Mark looks around as he hears him out, the thought of the sea — or more appropriately The Deep — skips a beat. As it's something he secretly fears greatly. But having witnessed the results of a pact or deal similar to this in the past occur with his father. He begins to question in cautious skepticism.

"I'm a man of my word no matter how stupid it is. You're gonna take something in return aren't you? What's it going to be then?"

   "Maybe..."   

Klondike glances away.    "I don't care about this battle. Polyphemus was trying to kill me and now they're dealing with someone else. Someone who seems to be winning. If I don't have to fight, I won't."   

Rin suddenly breaks her own attack sequence, whirling around and deflecting the laser.

Aa-aa-aa-aah
Do you feel no shame?

She grins. "I was made to succeed humanity."

Aa-aa-aa-aah
Can't you see my rage?

She rushes in with a flurry of mixed punches, kicks, and guitar swings, with no timing to them of any kind!

Central Hub - Eve

A team of five robots descends from the sky. They don't look like your average mechs - their bodies are made of steel, but the individual parts are completely disconnected from each other, seemingly floating. They all bear a stylized Venn diagram on their chests, and one of them, wearing Icarus' head, steps forward.

"What the- oh for the love of CenterBrain!"

He gestures the other robots towards the battle. A swarm of drones ejects itself from the droneports of the whole team and builds a line of tall, thick steel walls between Eve and Emma - not quickly enough to stop all the bullets, but at least some.

"I leave for a couple of minutes to gather some help and you two already break out into a fight? Why???"

He facepalms, and turns towards Eve. If she tries to read his or his colleagues' minds, she'll discover a conspicuous absence of anything resembling a brain.

"Anyways, as you can see, I've brought some friends to discuss what you have in mind for the hospital."

"Just give it time, man. Okay?"

Eddie then simply fixes Eve with a blank look, clearly unsure of what to make of her.

   "Symbiote, actually,"    Venom corrects.    "And while part of me does want to join the fight and rip Polyphemus apart, it looks like she's already about to kill him. Though if she doesn't, I wouldn't mind finishing him off."

That's a lot of nonchalance to go with potential consequences of your actions, Eve says, the Polyphemus issue dropping down her list as she look up at Klondike, hands on her hips. Even if she's winning, I hope you're ready to hop in if the tides turn, because that devastation would have all been for nothing.

She look to Venom saying that he'd step in and point, nodding, briefly smiling and holding up her thumb. I can guess she has a personal history with that person below, but I'll finish what was started if she fails. Will you help me and the symbiote and the nice man he's tied to if that happens? You obviously put in a lot of effort to try to kill him.

As she speaks, Eve briefly taps the side of her head, and they glow blue briefly, the irises spinning uncontrollably.

...

Oh, sweet galivating gazelle! Having had all the time in the world to see the danger coming, Eve is able to erect tiny barriers in front of the bullets, and has them enlarge around the projectiles before simply making them vanish. Then, the steel wall appears, and Icarus returns with the squad before she can take further actions.

Being that she's sweet (or want to be so), Eve doesn't protest when Icarus complains, though she's inwardly annoyed at being criticized for starting a fight when she didn't. But to his credit, Icarus wasn't around to witness what happened, so she can take some blame off that.

Ah, excellent! she says, as if she wasn't being attacked a second ago. Having experts around would be of great help! With the scale of these battles- her eyes glow blue, irises briefly spinning uncontrollably. It would do good for my hospital to be tall and able to weather danger even with my barriers down!

"A single universe split in two..." is the only thing Aofushi is able to mutter as she listened to the story about their world and the Blades while staring at the crystal on Nia, appearing to be completely awe-struck. The fact that there is an entire world out there with species that are far beyond anything she has witnessed is rather exciting and anxiety-inducing to the magical girl, who has never seen any beings other than humans and her goddess.

After the friendly banter between the two queens, the young woman couldn't help but smile a little at her antic. It's a heart-warming sight, to see two close friends playfully teasing each other. It reminds Aofushi of her university days with her best friend. "I would love to know about that purple tint and I frankly don't mind a bit of disturbing stuff, but please don't mention it if either of you don't feel like it right now." She's rather curious about the weird crystal coloring, but doesn't wish to come off as demanding.

After another look at Nia, Aofushi can't help but feel as if she's looking at a cat, except there's none of the mystery. "Gormotti? I'll keep that in mind." One of the things she dislikes about cats is it's very hard to tell how they're truly feeling, but the Blade in front of her feels very honest and upfront, which only fueled the young woman's affection for her. Although, the slightly nasty eating habit took away some points.

"My powers are something bestowed to me by my patron goddess, whose domain is Human and Order. I am not sure how a goddess of humans can bestow magical girl powers, but I won't complain." The magical is also rather glad that Melia asked about her, as she has been wanting to contribute to the conversation for a while.

"As a magical girl, I have access to the power of flight and transformation, and I have mastered the one you see right now. In this form, I can produce and control plasma energy, shaping and molding them to my liking." Aofushi's face took a serious turn as she gathered some of her element at her fingertips, which glowed with power. "Plasma is a rather volatile thing, so it took me a long time to perfect my control and techniques. I wouldn't want to just kill any criminal I come across."

Umezou is bashed out of the way by the surprise Iron Tail. Since the smoke prevented him from seeing it coming, he lands square on his face.

It's right after landing on his face that Red's Charizard picks him up. Umezou briefly squirms in a panic, since he still can't really see what's going on with all the smoke, but he quickly recognizes that something other than Dialga and Palkia is moving him to a safer distance.

Once out of the smoke he looks up to see who it is, and-

"Y-you!?", Umezou asks upon recognizing Red. He looks like he's about to argue, but instead he just looks frustrated for a moment, then hesitantly accepts it.

"... t... thanks, Red...", he mutters.

Dialga and Palkia, meanwhile, glare down ominously at Kikio. Palkia begins to glow while Dialga, in response to Kikio's question, raises its leg and suddenly attempts to slam it down on her to crush her.

Kikio is suddenly very much aware of how much danger she's in.

   "Uh... Papa G help!"   

She winces and closes her eyes as the foot comes down... but it is caught, by four black tendrils tipped with red spikes, emerging from Distortion World portals, which push Dialga back.

It seems like Red isn't the happiest either, but I guess he couldn't just let this guy like. Fucking die.

He has Charizard skid to a stop a few dozen meters behind Kikio; in lieu of being able to defend Kikio himself, he seems pleasantly surprised that Giratina just decided to show up.

"...!"

Red hops off Charizard, flips out his Wonder Launcher, and tries to launch a smokeball into Palkia's face to. I don't know. Stun it. (Dragon Pulse would have worked better, but alas, Charizard only knows physical moves.)

Dialga is, understandably, taken aback when it gets pushed back by what it clearly recognizes as Giratina's tendrils. The glow in its eyes intensifies as it suddenly tries again, this time aiming to crush Kikio and send Giratina's tendrils back into their portal with brute force.

Palkia, meanwhile, gets hit by the smokeball and... isn't really stunned, just surprised. And annoyed. Very annoyed. It turns its head towards Red and Umezou with a nasty growl.

Then, with no warning, it roars and proceeds to fire a Hyper Beam at the kids and Charizard. The attack comes in fast, though finds itself blocked by Protect, courtesy of Umezou's Chansey, which he'd brought out just in time to protect them both. The sheer force of the attack does still send Chansey flying back though, hitting a snowed-over tree and fainting.

"What are you doing!? We can't fight these two, we need to grab that girl and run!", Umezou says to Red as he recalls Chansey, looking seriously distraught.

"Those two have been empowered, they're much stronger than they normally are! That girl's Giratina won't be enough to let us win!"

The tendrils resist Dialga's force. Before it manages to push through them, Kikio suddenly gets sucked into the Distortion World.

   "YOU ASKED FOR IT,"    the voice on the other side growls.

The tendrils recede into the darkness.

The Distortion World

Kikio wakes up in the void, staring into the eyes of her god.    "Uh, hey Big G, what's up?"   

   "SO, I CAN'T GO OUT THERE OR THE FREAK THAT FRENZIED MY BROS WILL TRY AND DO THAT TO ME TOO."   

Wisdom Check: 15 + 3 = 18

   "Even Team Ico couldn't hurt you! What kind of monster is it?"   

   "ONE THAT WEARS GRANDPA ARCY'S FACE."   

Kikio gasps in surprise!

   "SO, SINCE I CAN'T DO ANYTHING IN PERSON, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU MY POWER. A LOT OF IT."   

   "Like what Arceus did to Sheena, right?"   

Giratina glances aside.    "YES, BUT SOMEWHAT MORE... DRASTIC. YOU'RE NOT READY TO HANDLE THIS POWER, AND IT WILL SLOWLY DESTROY YOU. IF YOU FEEL YOUR BODY FAILING, RETURN IT TO ME IMMEDIATELY."   

   "Yes, sir!"    Kikio salutes Giratina.

Giratina melts into a shadowy mass and dives into Kikio, engulfing her...

Red is just like 'OKAY THEN' when Kikio appears to get yoinked by Giratina, who then also dips. He gives a nod of thanks to Umuezo's quick Protecting.

"?!" And what, just let them rampage?

Charizard roars to the sky with a plume of flame, before bursting forwards, intending to just plow (shoulder-bash) into Dialga whilst wreathed in the intense fires of [Raging Fury].

Red readies his Wonder Launcher and baps Charizard with an [X Attack II] just before impact, buffing his attack by a lot.

Umezou stares as well when Kikio gets gulped into the hole. He glances at Red not long after.

"Uh... w-well... someone here can probably deal with this. But what do you expect for the two of us to do? We can't-"

Cue Charizard going on the attack.

"Oh god-"

Charizard lands its fiery bash into Dialga, slamming it into the mountainside. Going by the shocked and sudden screech coming from the deity, the buffed attack did manage to hurt it.

But before Charizard has the time to recover from using its attack, Palkia moves in with Ancientpower, sending the rocks towards Charizard in an attempt to OHKO it.

A Distortion portal opens up and Kikio bursts out in a new outfit, matching Renegade Sygna Suit Cynthia's dress, with the addition of Giratina's Altered Forme wings on her back, tucked in to resemble a cape. Her eyes have changed from her usual purple Hex Maniac swirls to completely pupil-less red.

   "I said I'd save you and I MEAN IT! I AM NOW THE STRONGEST! MY FRIENDS WOULD BE PROUD OF ME!"   

She roars to the sky as a black aura rages around her, unleashing her inherent Kommo-o nature in Clangorous Soul to power herself up even further. Then, she takes a deep breath and lets out a    "FWOOSH!"    that spews a cone of fire breath, turning into an even wider cone of purple hellfire with her Distortion power!

Constitution Saving Throw: 9 + 2 = 11

She coughs up some black smoke afterwards, having not been fully ready to unleash flames that potent. This also leaves her worrying she might seriously hurt Dialga and Palkia with that.

"... what the-"

Kikio goes on the attack and her flames hit both of the deities. They both cry out in what seems to be shock as Palkia now also crashes into the mountain side, indicating that the attack did a lot more to them than they were expecting. Powered up or not, Giratina's power is still very comparable to theirs. And since Kikio's fire breath isn't a Pokemon move, Palkia's typing doesn't mitigate the damage one bit.

Between this and Red Mega-Evolving his Charizard, Umezou starts to look more hopeful.

"M-maybe we can deal with this situation after all.", he says, grabbing a Poke Ball and throwing it to bring out Kangaskhan. The Kangaskhan and its baby glance at Red for a moment, recognizing him, and showing him a friendly smile as a greeting. Guess Umezou's Pokemon don't share his pettiness when it comes to Red because the Kangaskhan clearly hold no ill will towards him despite losing last time they fought.

Umezou then begins to channel energy into Kangaskhan, getting it ready to Mega Evolve as well, when Dialga and Palkia burst back out of the mountain, glaring darkly at their opponents.

The diamond on Dialga's chest begins to glow and Dialga starts charging up an attack in its mouth. The pearls on Palkia's shoulders also begin to glow as energy starts to form around its arm. It's signature move time.

Giratina's voice in Kikio's head warns her of the incoming attacks.

Her wings extend and twist into hand-like limbs, reaching out to try and grab Red and Umezou. She and any trainer she successfully caught will shift into the Border Ethereal, a dimension parallel to physical reality where everything looks the same except shrouded in ominous fog.

Wisdom Check: 2 + 3 = 5

   "We're outside physical space. We should be totally safe until they've attacked."   

The foolishness in this statement is that Spacial Rend can probably hit every single dimensional layer of reality at the same time, so it doesn't matter what plane you're on.

After a second to recollect himself, Red points out said foolishness. In addition to the fact that in general Palkia has control over all of dimensional space. So.

Charizard slams himself into the ground, puffing blue flame, and tries to s h a k e t h e m u p with a boosted Earthquake.

Umezou gets grabbed and yelps, briefly panicking.

"Oh gosh no I'm too young to die-"

And then they get teleported. He calms down a bit when he realizes they're just in a safe place... or so they think.

Umezou looks around.

"This place kinda reminds me of home, in a way..."

He pauses, then turns to Kikio.

"Wait, did you just take me and Red? Was Kangaskhan left behind!? I-if she's still back there I need to go back! I-I can't let any of these Pokemon die!"

Red may find this reaction odd. It's normal for a trainer to care about their Pokemon, and it's probably good to see that even a jerk like Umezou cares a lot, but his panic almost seems too much. Not that it's not genuine panic, but there may be more to his reaction than just him caring about his Pokemon.

Both Legendary Pokemon get hit by Earthquake, with Dialga obviously taking more damage... but it's not enough to stop either of them from launching their attacks.

Dialga fires Roar of Time at Mega Charizard X. With Charizard now having the long-coveted Dragon Type™, this attack will go from a powerful move to a devastating assault if it hits. Plus, with Charizard having already taken some damage from Ancientpower earlier, the damage from Roar of Time may be enough to knock it out.

Regardless of what happens to Charizard, right after Roar of Time, when Dialga would otherwise have to recoup its stamina, it now begins to glow more harshly and starts to trash around randomly, as if in pain.

Palkia's Spacial Rend tears through dimensions as it's launched forward. The part of Spacial Rend that stays within the Arena strikes Mega Kangaskhan, dealing some major damage but not taking it out completely.

If Mega Charizard X ends up getting downed by Roar of Time, both of the battered Kangashkan will choose to stand in front of the dragon protectively, defiantly standing between it and Palkia.

Luckily, while Palkia doesn't start to trash around, Dialga doing so does distract it for a bit.

Tearing through the dimensions, the attack suddenly bursts into the Border Ethereal, still headed right for them. Umezou stops panicking over Kangaskhan for a moment in order to panic over this instead, his eyes widening when he realizes: 'DUH, it's Palkia!'

"DUCK!", Umezou shrieks as he jumps for Red and Kikio, attempting to push them so that all three of them fall on the ground with him. If successful, Spacial Rend will barely pass over them without hitting any of them.

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.

Kikio blanches.    "OH NO I MESSED UP"   

She gets pushed over without resistance, allowing her to avoid the Spacial Rend. She then immediately brings the trio back to material space so they can rejoin the fight against the Legendary Pokémon.

   hey can I like... use moves way above my weight class?   

   YEAH   

Kikio stands up and points a finger into the sky. Stars twinkle and glimmer.

Quick, think of a cool one-liner!

Charisma Check: 16 + 2 = 18

   "By the power of darkness, I bring down the light! DRACO METEOR!"   

She swings her arm down to point at Palkia and some of these stars suddenly move, becoming streaks across the sky that rain down to bombard it!

Estradeal

Nagadilotep snickered a little, practically slithering in place against a current that just wasn't there. He held his face and gave him a great toothy grin before speaking softly to Mark, the cloak wavering like the wings of rays under the surf.

   "Oh you just have to do the right thing, let me explain the situation. This is... more like employment."   

A Hermitaur quickly rushed in and took the halberd from the Abyssal Scion's hands as he kicked the earth, a hydrothermal vent coming forth with a hurdy-gurdy nest into the stone. Nagadliotep took his tail and struck the vent down, billowing black smoke pittering out from the crash, the instrument coming loose and falling right into Nagadilotep's right hand. He had a chesire grin now-

   "Let me explain the conditions in song!"   

A Qurupeco came out from around the corner, puffing its throat sacs out as it seemed almost to be... mimicking a wobble in a two handed saw, as the Hermitaur took out from the ground a few spoons, and began to play them against its chitinous knee. Nagadilotep began to play the hurdy-gurdy, and it sounded... like a folk-rock bluegrass... sea shanty? He immediately ran up into Mark's face, looking down at him as he began to sing with an oddly rustic, yet angelic tone.

   "There is a few terms and conditions-   

   After all this is a job where you may very well die!   

   But if you listen real close, you can hear my opponents' ghosts   

   Cursing you for making it out alive!   

   We are beings of the abyssal streams,   

   And those gods up high have a secret that they keep like a slave-"   

He jumped back, slithering around in place as a few sea gulls flew down to keep the hurdy gurdy, as he assumed the position of a fiery tempered pastor, pointing to the skies, then to the valley in the distance.

   "They got black magic preachers, servants, and mercenary thieves   

   Who are the only ones keeping them from the grave!"   

The gulls flew away and landed on the ground, looking on up at mark as the Qurupeco stopped the wobbling, and in a surprising turn of events as Nagadilotep continued to dance like some ill-tempered Elvis, they joined in with a choir of other voices, which also seemed to be coming from the flowing streams running by.

   "And it is well, with our souls!-   

   Those who line their pockets full of fortune stolen from the poor-   

   And on their way down the hell, for we'll ring that bell-   

   And the devil will give us half as much to keep their soul~"

nebby you might be a sociopath i think that was an adequate amount of panic over a friend dying

Red also gets pushed over - I guess this is payback for earlier? -

Charizard charges forwards as is expected of his Adamant self, and gets shmasted by the Roar of Time, the super-effective devastating assault shredding through his HP and downing him.

... But not outing him. Falling to all fours and collapsing, he hangs on by a thread - the benefit of Ancient Power's effectiveness being reduced by the type change, the buffed Special Defense he got courtesy of Red, and. I dunno, heroic willpower? Affection Power.

BE THAT AS IT MAY it is still Down and dependent on Kagaskhan for the turn being.

then red comes back with Kikio and baps Charizard with a Full Restore. sorry not sorry about any flashbacks this may give Umezou
