My level of sociopathy is not important right now tongue


By the time Umezou has gotten back up on his feet, they're already back in the Arena. Mega Kangaskhan looks as the trainers return and the two allow themselves to drop the adrenaline that had kept them standing strong to protect Mega Charizard X.

"Oh thank the Lord.", Umezou gasps, relieved. He immediately recalls Mega Kangaskhan, and he seems far too preoccupied with calming himself down now to even register his potential Full Restore-based PTSD.

Draco Meteor strikes Palkia, who backs up and cries out in return. That must've hurt a lot.

But same as with Dialga, Palkia now begins to glow more and trash about violently. And once they're both doing as such, the ground begins to shake as their glow intensifies to the point that the two Legendary dragons are not even visible within it anymore.

The broken pieces of the Red Chain, which fell down to the ground too, begin to float and fling themselves into the glow.

Umezou's having a hard time keeping his balance as the tremor is happening. He looks completely lost and terrified when he sees what's happening.

"W-what's going on? What are they doing? H-he didn't tell me anything about this!"

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

Kikio raises an arm to protect herself from the wind pressure, while her wings plant themselves on the ground to keep her steady.

Green Hunt

"While I agree that something like that could be useful, we would still need the body as has been pointed out. Boring, yes, but sometimes that's what you need to do, sadly. However, Varik does make another good point in that this thing is likely intelligent enough to smack him around and stop his charge. So, different plans are needed."

Megan stood and thought for a moment, after glancing to each of the others. Luin and Lutemis would undoubtedly be effective assets here, even against something so large — both directly as combatants, and potentially for some combination support. She was alreadying imagining ways to try and fire that big ol' biomagma gun from Lutemis' back, if she was indeed allowed to do such a thing.

"Spreading out seems wise, aye — and I think I can help with the bombs. I've got some Devourer Sludge with me. Nasty stuff — it'll eat right through your weapons if they aren't treated properly, and it'll probably do the same to anything soft on our target there. ... I'm hesitant to suggest aiming for one or both of its eyes, but... inside of the nostril might be less risky in that regard. Could strap a phial or two to Reyna's bombs."

Red hangs back, not exactly keen on getting close to whatever those two are cooking up right now he returns Charizard to its ball.

"...!"

In a flash of light the dragon is replaced with Snorlax, the mon being placed right in front of the group as a bulky wind buffet.

"Snogr...?"

He pops out another [X Attack II] just to have it on hand.

The glow begins to spin around the two deities, turning more into fiery, swirling orbs that completely envelop them. The tremors begin to spread further and become increasingly dangerous, to the point that cracks are starting to appear on the ground beneath the trainers. Waves of temporal and spacial energy burst forth from them, and while they're not actually harmful, the sheer force of them may knock the trainers, and even Red's Snorlax, off of their feet.

A full showcasing of their force is when it hits the mountain and causes it to start collapsing completely, the shrine on top of the mountain sinking into the falling debris towards its own destruction.

The swirling orbs finally start to give away, revealing Dialga and Palkia... but they no longer look the same as they normally do, having changed their forms drastically and having increased in size. They lower their heads for a moment to glare down at the small, fragile humans (and Snorlax) that stand so far beneath them before raising their front legs and roaring aggressively as a sign of violence. They're furious, wrathful, frenzied, and they've set their sights on these three trainers.

Umezou is frozen in place with a look of shock on his face.

"W... what's... what's this? He... he never told me they can... that they can..."

The real battle begins


Within another dimension, Arceus narrows His eyes.

Shrine of Azura

The sky is cut in half (or rather, distant orbiting clouds are) as Adam drops into the battlefield in style, the towering elf sheathing Gram and quickly taking notes of his enemy as he descends. As soon as he hits the ground, causing a sizable impact, he vanishes again. He's seen what's going on, and decide that wasting too much time talking would deprive him of a key opportunity to seize the upper hand.

He also just doesn't like standing around talking.

Die.

He attacks Palkia with a slash, the attack fully able to cross the massive beast's body in a diagonal pattern, from left leg to right shoulder, in spite of Adam's size. He takes note of allies and prepare to assist them, but first, he takes another swing, an horizontal one this time!

Deal r NDeal

"In what no-"

No questions asked, the slithering movements Nagadilotep made makes Mark think this is about to shift for the sinister. Though the creatures — who he assumes are colleagues — appearing from thin air to perform a musical number. That hit odd yet smoothly enough for him to remove his doubts in his damnation being under this man's quasi-tutelage. Not being a buzzkill to himself, he whistles along while tapping his foot. Understanding the exchange as just another means of spitting on his foes, that which he doesn't mind.

The number finishes as Mark slams his fist against his palm with flash of fire coming from the impact. This whole thing having swayed him into agreeing to the deal.

"Shit sounds good!"


Eve Hospital

The bullets that do get intercepted by the wall don't penetrate the steel, but they do thickly dent it with the vanishing act that Eve did to the other bullets completely working.

"Frick frack what did I do- why are they all broken-"

With none of the guns functioning properly, Emma's still trying to grasp on straws as to why she wants to attack Eve aside from the blatant prejudice. Making her completely caught off guard by Icarus' sudden return and steel wall once she looks back. Trying to make herself not seem like the aggressor at the same time.

That hospital's construction is holding her restraint twofold.

"Shut it fleshbucket.... w-we're testing defense systems! Right MAGE?!"

Lourent Beach

"Distraction?" Luin straightened up and arched her eyebrow as she spoke for the first time since she had arrived, her helmet by her side. Initially she was greatly opposed to the idea of reducing her and Lutemis to a sausage on wings, but…It did make sense, didn't it? Lutemis seemed to be the biggest player on their side, and would easily grab the enemy's attention while being maneuverable enough to avoid…hopefully all of it's attacks, as she didn't know how many either of them would be able to take. "Alright. But if things start turning south, I'm putting her out of danger. Her life is worth more to me than some monster that the…"boss" needs killed. She set her own terms, leaning back against the saddle's built-in leather seat once more.

Meanwhile, she figured she could aid in the talks of bombs and opening attacks. "Lutemis here shoots a mean fireball. Could use that to set the bombs off, deal some extra damage, and grab the big fuck's attention all at once." She suggested.

With great power…you know the rest.

OBR, Ungthar, Paige, The Collector

Our Bleeding Realm

The gunslinger slid off of the bar stool and began to approach the phone and ATM, staring at both in confusion. He grabbed the phone and tried to shove it into the ATM, as he assumed that was how the devices worked. "How in the goddamn do I..?" He muttered, repeatedly attempting to force the phone into the cash slot.

——

Astil

Ungthar waited in the trees, watching the surviving members of Breadbasket with hateful eyes.

Meanwhile, a faint blue fog left the minigun as Paige reappeared besides Ungthar, "sitting" on a branch of the tree with a ghostly apple in hand.

"You ready to take the fight to them?"

Ungthar grunted.

Paige took a bite of the apple, ready to help her friend exact vengeance. Meanwhile, Ungthar planned. He'd have to call upon a powerful ally, maybe multiple, and would need to resupply himself with one of his many equipment deposits set up across this land. The nearest was just off the path of the soldiers, and he swung through the trees, not making a sound as Paige floated behind him. He dropped down into a bush out of sight of the enemies, reaching his hands into the dirt and pulling out an old-fashioned suitcase, opening it up and taking three spheres of ceramic, a bow forged from steel he had gotten off the body of a couple of Grandnova bots that had overstepped their boundaries, multiple arrows of varying types, and a spear with a carnivore's jawbone at the edge, serrated teeth still attached. He slung the bow and quiver over his back and held the spear, with grenades attached to a bandolier, and ascended the trees once more to follow the men and ensure they would not get away with their crimes against nature.

Gaia's bloodstained leaves demanded retribution, and Ungthar was the falling hammer that would wrought nature's revenge upon the soldiers.

——

Minira, Estraole

Though the serrated tail did little against the black helmet of unknown design, the Collector was powerless to remain rooted on the ground as he was slowly lifted off of his feet.

His sword-wielding arm was currently occupied (translation: in the talons of his attacker) and as such, he came to a simple, succinct solution: The sword dropped from his left palm and, through a spell binding the sword to it's master, fell into the open palm of his right hand, which he quickly swung at Veyolkos. Though he didn't fully intend to strike the creature, he wanted to make him flinch due to the sight of such a large weapon coming at him, and as such hopefully release the Collector from his grasp.

With great power…you know the rest.

[To Reyna]

Sporacles raises a hand. "I can say from experience that it won't even notice... unless you somehow manage to break through and hit soft flesh, in which case it will definitely notice. I managed to leave a small gash through the scales on its belly after hacking away for six days straight, and as soon as I drew blood it squished me."

"I guess if what you need to do is draw blood... you can try to use that scratch?"

[To Varik]

"Well," Noi says, taking a knee by Varik. "You could contribute what you can do, right? We need to know what everyone is capable of so we can plan around it."

[To Megan]

"Wait, no, that's probably a GREAT idea! Trying to take out its eyes, I mean. Or at least an eye so its depth perception goes up-wack. Might need tight timing between 'waking it up so it opens its eyes' and throwing the stuff at it, though."

[To Luin]

"Sounds like that could work," Sporacles says. "Actually, given how BIG that thing is, it should take a while to take off, right? If you just stay high enough it might be unable to reach you."

Cue a big puff of flame, glassing another section of the beach.

"... Well, it's melee attacks would be unable to reach you."

ITS BIG BRAIN TIME. PROFESSIONAL LEVIATHAN HUNTER SPORACLES IS FORMULATING A PLAN

"... Okay, okay, here's my current thoughts. Luin and her dragon get ready to fly up and aggro it with some hit-and-run tactics. Reyna, you use your... bug thingie to snatch up some dragon blood for whatever you use it for. When the pain causes it to snap awake Megan splashes some of her wacky sludge in its eye."

"... And then?"

"Ach, it's a first draft! What do you have?"

"My uh, my magic lets me heal people pretty much instantly..."

"No kidding? That might be useful if any of us survive a hit."


POKEMON WAR

Snorlax groans and falls backwards as the shockwaves hit him, slamming into the dirt. Your sacrifice will not be in vain, bloated one. Return.

Red whistles. He's seen a LOT of wack stuff, but this is a new one. And then Adam comes in for some epic slashy action, which is probably good!

"...!"

Mewtwo was sent out!

Charizard already ate up his Mega slot... but that doesn't mean he's out of gimmicks!

Mewtwo is reacting to its Crown Weapon!

With an earth-shaking crash, Armored Mewtwo slams into the ground and roars with bloodlust before lashing out with Hyperspace Fury, its steely arms shooting through. Hyperspace. To slash and claw at Dialga from a distance.

IF the move hits succesfully, Mewtwo's aura will flicker blue for a moment before its Defense drops a bit.

Eve's Hospital

Icarus felt like he was stuck between two lunatics. Sure, both Emma and Eve looked human enough, but Eve seemingly didn't know the rules of social interaction, and Emma breaks out into battles in the middle of a population center. Great.

On an extradimensional private communication channel:

Icarus: Oh, the wonders of the multiverse! 
joj673: what happened?
joj673: why did we just build a steel wall right into a battle???
joj673: more importantly, how did this battle even start? are these two mortal enemies or something?
BassKickerz: Ikr
Icarus: I have no idea, to be honest. What I do know is that a) these two were doing fine just before I left and b) Emma, the one with the weird gun, was getting slightly nervous. Y'all mind if I talk this out with her while you guys handle the hospital? Oh, and don't forget asking Eve about the spaceport thingy
joj673: k
BassKickerz: K
eeveexotic: k lazy bum
Icarus: Shut
eeveexotic: lol
Thomas16: Okay, will do

The steel wall got disassembled again and distributed evenly in the storage of all five robots. Four of them walked off towards Eve and set up a screen as well as some chairs. The screen quickly got populated by various designs.

Thomas16 asked, "So what do you have in mind for your hospital? I assume you want to hold lots of patients and treat them quickly?"

A floor plan appeared, showing a central chamber (labelled "waiting room"), as well as two wings labelled "treatment wing" and "dormitories" respectively. Thomas seemingly didn't know how to arrange the wings, because they kept shifting around. Eventually, hallways connected the waiting room, the treatment wing and the dormitories in a triangle constellation, so that every area was accessible from every other area.


Meanwhile, Icarus split off and picked up Eve's anti-swearing booklet from the ground. He flipped through it quickly, and then looked back up to Emma to ask:

"So, what happened while I was gone?"

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

I'd need something tall that stands out, so that people would know where to come if they need healing, and yes, a lot of patients would be nice! Also tough material, I can provide it for you if you need great quantities of it, I just merely need to know its components. Or touch a piece of it! It'd be a great fortress, able to stand up against those who will obviously see an hospital as a great target to have!

The actual amount of doctors will be taken care of, I, huh- she beholds the uncertain plan. Very good! Her eyes glow blue as she taps the side of her head. This will be very helpful! Thank you for your exceptional assistance, my friends!

She glances at Emma beneath the goggles, being ready to offer her own version of the events if Emma's words are unflattering enough.

Oh, the booklet, you can keep it! I've stored the copies in another dimension, it's meant to be kept around.

When Emma brings up mage, gears begin to whir in Eve's head seemingly, and she "tsks". You shot at me after I tried to help you. I've got witnesses if I need to make a strong case!

Le Deal

When he agreed, Mark could see the Sea God smiling wildly at that, coiling quickly around Mark as the ice and waters covered his frame, freezing Mark within as he slithered off back into place, the hermitaur still holding his weapon, looking to Mark as the man's body began to shift. While he still felt the inner warm of his flame, it seemed to be, permeating him in more ways than one.

   "You see you'll be passing through these little valleys.   

   Sniffing around for the servants of those vile powers,   

   They won't know you by your face, or by the robes around your waist   

   But your job is to find the damned and put em under the ground.   

   First there is hail,   

   Then there is smoke,   

   Then that preacher man will be hangin’ by a rope!   

   Then they will fell to their knees and beg you please   

   Beg you please, and you'll raised your fist before you spoke-"   

He paused playing the hurdy gurdy, the accompanying wildlife continuing up the instrumental as Nagadilotep punched the block of ice mark was in. Mark felt his skin somewhat softer, adorned in small scales of reflective cobalt blue. He was adorned in black tattoos almost Hawaiian in their aesthetic, which as he looked down at his now silvery chest, culminated into the icon of flame. As he flexed himself he could feel his hands were a bit more webbed then prior, with small fins along his elbows sharp in design. And atop his back was a foldable, massive sailback fin like the swordfish of yore. And as he spoke a slight echo followed with him. But now Nagadilotep pointed down at Mark with fiery conviction, both intense and yet, a sense that he had great hopes for Mark.

   "You are the righteous hand of The Sea God!   

   And you are the earthen devil that they forgot!   

   And I told you today you will see, that you’ll be back I guarantee!   

   And that hell's coming, hell’s coming   

   Hell, hell's coming with we!"   

The variety of crustaceans and sea birds continued the folk-rock bluegrass shanty going on as Nagadilotep stretched his hand out, and ripped something from the ice he broke Mark from. It was a shark-tooth lined Koa wood sword, more in design with a massive lance with the handguard to match, and alongside this was a shield made of hard carapace with wooden trimmings, the way the armor had been grafted, decorated in the symbolisms of volcanos of yore, was as if it had been taken from a castle wall. Nagadilotep continued to hone in the point, entrusting Mark would take these artefacts, which he distinctly felt were made with his own flesh and blood.

   And it is well, with our souls-   

   Those who line their pockets full of fortunes that they steal from the poor-   

   And on their way down to hell, they'll hear you ring that bell!   

   And I said, hell's coming with thee!"   

As soon as the song finished, practically all but the hermitaur suddenly disappeared into the surrounding wilderness, silent as a gentle breeze, and leaving as soon as one.

Green Hunt

Reyna shakes her head.

"I'm not talking about extracts. The Kinsect leaves explosive powder in the air every time it bites a monster I've marked with pheromones. If I can build up enough powder in one place without the Green Death waking up and getting mad, I can create a vortex and make a boom bigger than any bomb I've got. That's how I like to wake up Espinas, since it won't wake up from the bites themselves."

So that's why she compared it to an 'Espinas'.

She then glances at Luin. "I can help guide Lutemis, if you'd like. I know how to keep a monster alive just as well as I know how to kill it."


Shrine of Azura

Kikio manages to stay on her feet thanks to the help of Giratina, staring up at the emerging Origin Formes of Dialga and Palkia in awe.

   "So cool...! Wait, that's bad."   

Religion Check: 16 + 5 = 21

   "Those are their super-strong god forms, like Big G's! Hey Big G, can I do that too?"   

   ABSOLUTELY NOT.   

   "Right, the self-destruct thing or whatever."    Kikio puts her hands together and launches an Aura Sphere at Origin Dialga.

Malzeno has appeared.

Malzeno's Roar

A metallic, raspy-sounding howl rings out, soon followed by Malzeno descending to join the battle!

... At a distance. He's not going to rush right into the path of a massive attack and get wrecked before he can do anything.

Melia keeps her focus on Aofushi speaking, taking her time to take small bites of her food as she does. Nia, however, does seem to be fully focused on the eating.

In reality, it's a little more complicated- Nia isn't really thinking about the eating at all and is definitely hearing Aofushi speak and processing the words being spoken, but that isn't abundantly clear.

Melia puts her utensils down and points a single finger towards the air as Aofushi makes her last point about not wanting to kill.

"My respect for you only increases. Many who enforce peace are blinded by the power it gives them. Despite this, you have indicated only respect for that power."

A single, soft flame forms hovering just above the tip of Melia's finger.

"I myself have a similar dilemma. No other practitioners of staff-based ether manipulation have mastered it to the degree that I have. The energy that I can flow through my body is volatile enough to cause great harm, even to myself. Not such that I must keep constant vigilance... but enough to make me consider my actions, from time to time."

The flame flickers out.

"I cannot be totally sure, but I believe your patron was wise to choose you, Passion. Great power must be accompanied by responsibility. It is good to know you are well acquainted with that fact."

With one last oversized bite, Nia finishes eating, and cleans herself off with a napkin. At the very least, she was polite enough to consider that. Though she wasn't that messy in the first place... clearly from experience having eaten in such a way before.

"Alright, finished with that, and you said you wanted to hear about my core crystal, eh?", Nia says as she swallows down what remains of her food.

She crosses her arms in front of her.

"...Where the bloody hell do I even start with this? You know what, ask again later, this is makin my'ead urt."

Green Hunt

Varik looks at Noi and smirks at Noi.

"Hey, no worries, I'll be doing my part."

He gets back up.

"I can try to hypnotize or blind it. In the meantime I'll be trying to collect as much energy as possible for my big attack once the battle starts. If I can get my blade to its full power, I should be able to take out that beast. But if I don't get that chance, I guess I could serve as a support fighter or something."

He then looks at Reyna.

"I can serve as a distraction. Keep its attention on me and try to put it back to sleep to give you an opportunity to create that vortex."


Shrine of Azura (rip shrine)

Origin Palkia gets struck by Adam's slash and backs up for a moment... before just looking more angry. That attack ended up doing much less than anticipated given that it was apparently meant to kill.

When Adam comes in for another slash though, Origin Palkia swiftly turns and blocks the slash with its tail before attempting to send Adam flying towards his allies with a horse-like backwards kick.

Origin Dialga roars, then launches a Flash Cannon beam towards Kikio. Origin Dialga's Aattack easily bursts through hers and continues on its path.

"Sorry about this, Snorlax!", Umezou says as he throws out his own Snorlax in front of Kikio to tank the Flash Cannon. Snorlax manages to tank the attack thanks to its massive Special Defense, but it still looks badly hurt in the process. It's also unable to immediately attack as a result.

Thankfully Origin Dialga can't follow up on this attack immediately thanks to Armored Mewtwo's attack, which hits it and stuns it. It doesn't show much visible damage though, making it unclear how effective Mewtwo's attack was. It's a fellow Legendary, and Hyperspace Fury is a very powerful move, so it should be significant, but without any clear indication they won't know for sure.

A red circle starts to form underneath everyone as Origin Palkia's shoulder-pearls glow. If they don't notice and thus don't get out immediately, a draconic meteor will crash down on them. Afterwards, a purple ring will be left behind where the circle was. Anyone who touches the purple ring will be badly hurt.

The diamond on Origin Dialga's neck-thing glows as well, and blue rings will start to shoot out from underneath its feet. These rings will expand up until a certain point, and they're just as dangerous as the purple ring. They can be jumped over though.

"There you are. Are you ready?", Arceus asks his acolyte.

"Not really. But I don't have much of a choice, huh?", his acolyte chuckles.

"This time, you do."

"Hm... yeah, I guess I do. But I already promised."

He grabs a steampunk-looking Poke Ball, as well as a flute.

"You can open the way."

Arceus nods in gratitude, then opens a portal to the Arena.

"Best of luck."

The acolyte nods back, then enters the portal.

I hate this place. Adam bemoans, blocking the kick with his arms and sword. He's sent flying but is able to spin in mid-air and land on the ground skillfully, landing on his own two feet and readying himself to deal with the blast... before Snorlax takes it. He's disturbed to see this, frowning in concern for his fat friend.

You put up a valiant barrier, friend.

With those words, Adam attempts to seize the W on Snorlax's behalf, waving the sword a little over his head as he attempts to wake it up. It does begin to glow faintly purple, leading Adam to smirk as he leaps at Palkia, attempting to strike it in the torso. If this works, hitting the flesh of a god seems to power up Gram faster, and it begins to glow more intensely. The downward slash carves up the ground behind Palkia something fierce, as he appears to deeply split the ground with nothing but the shockwave from his attack.

If there's anything to deduce from this, Adam doesn't share it. He instead sheath his sword and begin to ascend in mid-air, kicking the air with sheer leg strength as he starts to focus power unto the katana. Some of it is meant to be showy: he's purposely trying to help his allies by making himself a threatening target.

Red cocks his Wonder Launcher and tries to bap! Umezou's Snorlax with a Max Potion, before squeaking in alarm upon realizing he is being t a r g e t e d and booking it. He's fairly athletic, so he's not incapable of avoiding the various attack patterns headed his way - he can't exactly multitask during this though.

Even with the Defense drop, Armored Mewtwo just eats up the various hits for now - it's a similar situation to the opposition in that sense, where while it's almost certain that it's taken at least a fair amount of damage, there's hardly anything to show for it.

   "..."

Hyperspace Fury is effective against both and negates Mewtwo's Speed disadvantage, but if abused could drop its Defense to crippling levels. Superpower's disadvantages are even worse, but it could also deal insane damage by the time Mewtwo is forced to drop out. Zen Headbutt is neutral against Palkia in terms of gains and disadvantages, but he can't hit from this distance.

Armored Mewtwo begins its unflinching, slow-but-steady stomp towards Origin Dialga. Hopefully, Dialga is distracted enough by Adam and its own attack patterns that it can get close enough to unleash a brutal armored Superpower attack.

Kikio jumps away with a flap of her Giratina wings to escape the danger zone. Then... she remembers!

   "Oh, yeah! I'm a healer!"   

She utters a healing prayer, and energy spreads around, healing herself, Red's Charizard and Mewtwo, Umezou's Kangaskhan and Chansey (as he will see if he checks up on them), and Adam. The healing is moderate at best, but sufficient to keep those low on health (and Chansey) in the fight for a bit longer.

Once there's an opening, Malzeno runs towards Dialga and snarls in challenge, prompting the Legendary Pokémon to respond in kind.

Malzeno

Turf War

Origin Forme Dialga

Turf War

Dialga lunges to bite Malzeno, which flies up and around behind it. Malzeno uses its tail to grab Dialga by its neck protrusion and slam its face into the ground...

But Dialga rewinds Malzeno's personal time, sending it back to before it flew up and placing it right in front of Dialga. It then charges forward headfirst, blowing Malzeno down.

Between Adam's attempt and Red's healing, Snorlax manages to stand up straight again, HP restored. When the attacks start coming everyone's way, Umezou manages to run out of the range of the ground circle, though Snorlax has to intervene to save him from the blue circles, jumping towards Umezou and grabbing him up, getting hit in the process and getting stunned.

Ah! Are you alright!?", Umezou asks, devastated. Until Snorlax lets out a grunt to confirm that it's fine enough, upon which Umezou looks relieved. Still, he recalls Snorlax just for safety.

"Okay, I guess Tau-huh? Wait a minute..."

He throws Kangaskhan's Poke Ball, and to Umezou's shock it comes out, ready to battle again. Umezou doesn't know what happened, but he's not going to question it.

"Fake-Out!"

Kangaskhan rushes forward, using a Fake-Out on Origin Palkia to briefly stun it and allowing Adam to strike it. It's forced back a bit, but doesn't seem deterred. Its shoulder pearls start to glow and, with zero warning, Origin Palkia suddenly unleashes a much more powerful Spacial Rend attack, attempting to blow Adam and Kangaskhan away. The latter gets hit by a critical hit too, KOing it in one hit.

"Oh crap!", Umezou says while recalling it.

Once Origin Dialga has bashed Malzeno down, it turns its attention to Kikio. It noticed that she was healing and had decided to target her now. As such, it unleashes another Flash Cannon her way.

While it wasn't exactly Adam that has Origin Dialga's attention, its still not noticing Armored Mewtwo approaching...

He comes out of his portal, one that opened up in the sky above the Arena, but the acolyte doesn't look worried. He plays his flute as he falls, summoning a Braviary that snatches him up. It then starts flying towards the former shrine.

While he can't directly deflect the Flash Cannon, Red fires an X Sp. Def II at Kikio in hopes of helping her weather it.

Armored Mewtwo manages to stomp its way into range!

[SUPERPOWER]

Its legs tense for a moment before it launches itself at Dialga, attempting to, well, brutalize it with a beastly series of blows and slashes from its armored arms.

Adam endures the blow, since he was already healed to begin with thanks to Kikio. Enduring forward, he closes his eyes and grit his teeth as the energy washes all over him, As is very usual with him, he endures in style, though he closes his eyes in pain at some points. Nothing that will prevent him from attempting to seek an ass kicking in return, of course, and it seems that being exposed to that much energy is empowering his attack a little, though it being in its sheath stop it from getting too much energy.

When he emerges, he has burns on his face, disheveled bangs and banged up armor, but is reayd to carry on the fight.

Tetragrammaton 1. Kill Evil.

Adam briefly hunkers down, body facing down towards the ground, and decides to unleash his attack early to help Mewtwo get closer, vanishing as the ground at his feet suddenly implodes on itself, rocks melting into lava and the ground below quickly heating up and splashing magma over a short distance as he brutally accelerates, until he briefly vanishes. He doesn't teleport, but he moves fast enough that it looks like he does, though actually, he just strikes at Dialga's side with an empowered attack, attempting to carve a mighty wound unto the beast's left side.

The whole attack is so fast that it'll look like a purple lightning bolt appeared out of thin air : it's merely the trail of energy left behind in Adam's wake, vibrating so fast that it explodes upon itself, attempting to deal even more damage to Palkia!

Sheating his sword, Adam appears several meters behind Palkia, face firm and tense, until some bangs fall over his eyes, forcing him to open his eyes to blow them away with a little sigh. Turning around, with his sword now a bit more awakened by the attack, Adam vanishes again, little booms booms being heard for a while as he approaches Palkia with an invisible form... before dropping down on the beastie's head from above with a punishing downward slash.

If allowed to carry the attack on, he twirls his sword into his hand and thrust it forward at Palkia's stomach, the power of the attack being enough to hit even with the sword several meters away.

Volcras stifles a chortle of his own, though for different reasons than Trickery's own laugh.

   "Anyway... So what now? Are we just gonna tag along somewhere, or is this where we part ways?"   


Kikio gets blown down by the Flash Cannon, but she melts into the darkness, disappearing using Shadow Force. Seeing that Dialga is the current primary target, she prepares to attack Palkia instead...

Malzeno gets back on his feet and slams both wings into the ground, raking them upward one after another to launch two waves of black Razor Wind at Dialga, tearing up the ground as they travel along it.

Once he's above the battlefield, Arceus' acolyte looks down, and then...

He lets go of Braviary as he readies a Poke Ball, throwing it downwards to release one of his Pokemon.

... what exactly is his plan here?

A new red circle begins to form.

Origin Palkia sees Kikio charge Shadow Force, and while it can't retaliate against that just yet, in response it begins to charge up Spacial Rend again.

Origin Dialga gets struck by Malzeno's black wind blades, leaving the path open for Adam to strike. Then, after getting startled and damaged by Adam's attack as well, it gets pummeled by Superpower and is forced to back off in pain, letting out a furious snarl.

Adam's strike ends up not leaving too much of a mark. Not out of lack of power, mind you, but because Origin Dialga's hide is literally made of steel. It's hard to leave marks in that.

It also seems to have greatly pissed Origin Dialga off, because it suddenly lets out a wavy aura around itself that covers the battlefield. Adam's movements will be slowed down immensely, meaning that the initial opener of his combo attack on Origin Palkia doesn't get to it before Origin Palkia unleashes Spacial Rend upon him and Kikio. If he doesn't cancel his attack in favor of a defensive action, he'll end up running face-first into Spacial Rend.

Armored Mewtwo is also at risk at being slowed down due to his close proximity to Origin Dialga, and if that happens, Origin Dialga will respond with a point-blank, powered up Roar of Time that's meant to take the other Legendary out instantly.

"Wait, of course! Why didn't I think of this before?", Umezou says as he grabs another Poke Ball to send out a mon.

"Ditto!"

Ditto appears and Impostor activates, allowing Ditto to morph into one of the Legendary-

Regardless of if Armored Mewtwo gets hit by Roar of Time or not, the attack will still continue on. It hits Ditto before it can transform and takes it out instantly.

"... Gosh dangit FU-"

Niall, Luin

Skyrim

The Commander watched in horror as the sword pierced through him, forcing him to the ground. He was greatly weakened, unable to fight, but not yet dead. He grunted, backing up against a cliffside, where the bloody and charred remains of his old friend still lay. “Damn…” He huffed, panting. Artorias and Sif seemed prepared to leap in and battle Seliph, but he weakly lifted a hand, calling the attack off for now. He’d be fine after some of that “Estus” concoction the knight had brought from his world, and though he was bleeding now, he wasn’t in any sort of imminent danger. If being impaled by a sword was enough to stop him, he wouldn't be a commander of the Starscourge's forces.

“So…This is what you do, huh? Tell me, what is it you had against O'Neil? He never hurt anybody…Innocent…Often." The Commander grunted, only just realizing the shortcomings of his hermano from another madre.

Lourent Beach

Addressing Sporacles: "Well, me and Lutemis are no stranger to fire, so whatever flames it can dish out, we can take it." Luin grinned, confidence brimming in her voice. She eyed the puff of breath that had reduced the sand to a half molten glass, and suddenly grew much less confident. "…Much."

The woman bit her lip as she thought. Was this really a fight she wanted? If a roided up porcupine could rip through her forces with aid, what the hell was she gonna do against this thing?

And then, finally, she recognized the face that was vaguely familiar to her.

"Reyna!" She snapped her fingers and pointed at her. "I remember you! We fought that Kut-Ku together." She heard out what the huntress had to say, before smiling faintly. "Thanks for the offer, but I’d rather stay as close as possible to Lutemis for this one. Makes me feel less worried about something bad happening to her."

With great power…you know the rest.

"I... didn't kill him!" Seliph insists. "I only heard his scream, and when I rode in to investigate, I saw him dead, and a black shape flying away."

He points out O'Neil's body, riddled with scorch marks, jagged gashes, and bits of black shrapnel. "Knowing what you do about how I fight, do you think I could've done this? I would like to avenge him just as much as you do."
