Blissparce (Inn)

Erm...bzz...that is my boss... (Maran says sheepishly.) He was cursed into being stuck as his six-year-old self.

Yeah! I'm really forty-three! (Cortez says.)

Oui, all of us except Monsieur Scales have been cursed. I... (Sunny says. Then it really hits her whom Taylor B must be talking about.) ...Oh...oh, is it Monsieur Cosby?? He is...dead??



Blissparce (Crime scene)

(Mia looks over into the bush and heaves before looking away.) Ugh...!!! Isso é nojento...but that's definitely Cosby all right...what else do you know about what happened to him?

Tiago pays attention to what's being discussed but doesn't look at the body.


Dieter nods to note they're cursed too and then responds to Sunny.

Blissparce, At the Inn

"Ohhhhhh..." Taylor B nods along with this new information (that does make more sense now...he was wondering if the Flygon muffed up Sunny's alibi), noticing Dieter nodding out of the corner of his eye. "Wait," he says to Dieter, about to ask them about his earlier assumption, but he drops it and turns back to Sunny.

"And y-yes, Mr. Cosby was f-found dead, and it l-looks to be fairly recent." Pulling out the chair across from Sunny, he sits down, tenting his fingers tentatively. "Now...I w-want to ask you and C-Cortez here a handful of q-questions, j-just to see where you f-fall in with all of this."


Blissparce, Edge of Town

"Well...I don't think he died right here..." She looks around for any place where the body could've been dragged from, any trails of blood along the glass, matted down leaves, even the footsteps of another mon...nothing.

"Uh oh...he musta got dropped in...or something carried him here."

Dieter then realizes that Taylor might be suspicious of them after that nod. They look a bit sheepish, but continue on without letting it be acknowledged unless he wanted to.

(I nervously look over to Dieter, given that Sunny nearly just gave them away. I'm pretty glad the Hitmonchan cop didn't press them any further.)

(Given everything that she went through with Harvey, Sunny has trouble finding herself feeling truly sorry for Harvey's demise. She swallows and sits there nervously. Rich, Maran, and I take seats as well.)

So what is it you want to know? (Sunny asks.)

Just gonna go ahead and say that I had nothin' to do with this. (Cortez quickly says.)

Do you think someone might have... (Mia pauses.) ...might have *flown* Cosby's body over here and left it here?

[Doria's Office]

Dorian is launched back by the barrage of attacks sent at him, colliding with the window, but only cracking it as he bounces off of it and lands face-first on the floor.

Picking himself up, clearing having taken mortal damage, he growled, "   You should know who you're messing with... I give the people of this land life! I drown them in suffering and offer relief from that through monetary means, isn't that the beauty of money?   "

"That's no life-giver's actions, you money-grubbing bastard", Soten commented.

"People like you are simply seeking to better their own lives in excess, at the expense of those under yourself", said Noriaki, a hint of disgust in his voice, "Vile pests like you that feed on the misfortune of others and even directly cause it... Exactly the type of person that L'Arachel would enable, given your shared sense of selfish gluttony."


[Narcia, Streets]

"   What the hell are you doing?   ", Hector asked angrily, "   Didn't I already explain my shock absorption to you? Weren't you listening, you dolt?   "

"Yes, I was...!", Achilles responded.

The two began exchanging punches, the air visibly breaking with each colliding hit.

"But I realized... You absorb the force of my blows, not nullify them, right?", Achilles explained, "That means something that hits harder should be able to still damage you."

Hector grunted a bit hesitantly as he tried to continue deflecting.

"Hector old friend, you were mistaken when you said you were made to fight me", Achilles yelled as he grabbed his rival's fists and began pushing him forward, also using his head's pincers to grip on, "Mega Evolution was always about ascending past your limits and continuing beyond that. I should thank you, old friend, I was growing complacent in my power before this."

Hector managed to use Megahorn to escape from the Pinsir's grip and tried to unleash a Brick Break. Achilles sidestepped the attack and swung one of his arms with tremendous force. The attack managed to blow the Heracross back a bit and make him stumble, much to his surprise.

"If you could take me with all my might", said Achilles, unleashing another focused blow directly to Hector's face, "Then all that's left for me to do is just give more than my all."

Taking the hit made Hector start visibly bleeding a little, but this only served to enrage the Heracross as his dark aura grew and he delivered another quick punch directly to the Pinsir's already damaged side.

Achilles reeled back in pain at first, but he brought his down again with a passion in his eyes and he delivered an Aerial Ace directly to Hector's stomach, sending him flying back.

"   That look in your eye...   ", Hector growled as he fell back and put a claw down to regain his balance, leaving a trail in the ground, "   Always pissed me off!   "

As the two fought, Minato held up a Flynium-Z he had and called the attention of the rest of group.

"Someone get this to Achilles soon", the Dustox coughed out, "I have a feeling..."

( What should I say, what should I say...I feel like I should say something as well.)

Y-Yes... ( I say, trying to sound as authoritarian as Noriaki and Dana.) Mister Dorian, you must be...um...you must be *completely* sick in the head if you think that anyone besides you is pleased with this system. You're just a greedy fat Lickitung out to steal these Pokémon's hard-earned money, and I believe Dana is right. You just must be a...a complete sadist to not see anything wrong with making them suffer like this...

( Did that work? Wow, I still can't believe I'm here trying to put such a nasty Pokémon in his place alongside all of these others...')

But how do we get that from here, to there, without injuring ourselves further?

And that's when it hits me. I could use my psychic ability to float the Z-Crystal over toward Achilles. Walking over to Minato and taking the crystal I use psychic to try and float it over toward Achilles...

Narcia, vs. Dorian

(Did that finish it? Looks like it...and I got through the fight! Not by much though, it feels like...although at least this healing stuff that one at the inn can do, it apparently works fast, wait, what did he just say now?)

Really? I don't know all that well who I'm messing with. Sure sounds like, though, you're just saying you're helping them because it lets you get more stuff somehow.

Lane sighs. (This situation with what he's apparently doing sounds familiar, like something someone or some company did back home, but I don't recall who it might have been, if anyone specific.)

If you're trying to make it sound like you care about anyone that isn't yourself, it's not working.

(Oh? We're doing the whole speech thing? Alright, time for my two cents.) Giving life? You? That's the funniest joke I've heard all day. The only people you're giving life to are sycophants like this sad sack and yourself. (I gesture towards the still unconscious Watchog.) If you're done wasting both our time and your breath, how about using the latter for something worthwhile?

(Eliza decided to chip in as well.) You're no different than a parasite, eating away at others until there's nothing left. Then it's on to the next one, and the next one, and so on. Oh, you claim that what you're doing is right, but it's obvious that you're only saying it to save yourself. I've heard all these self-justifying lies before. Ask yourself, just who exactly are you trying to fool?

[Dorian's Office]

Dorian sweats nervously as he huffs out, "   Where's my justice then? I'm another victim of this society, pushed towards this way of livin'.   "

"Claiming you had no choice simply false", said Noriaki, "There is always choice, and you could have made your situation in to something better instead of succumbing to greed and gluttony."

"All those villages you mowed down just 'cause you felt like you had some kinda right to this land...", Soten grumbled before speaking up, "They ain't never gonna see the light of day again. I may not have known your old man and only heard about how much of an oddball he is, but I know this ain't what he wanted his city built on."

"   You're seriously bringin' up my dad? Low blow there...   ", Dorian growled as he took a stance.

"Trying to come at us again? I can tell that you're done at this rate", Noriaki commented, "Do not even bother."


[Narcia, Streets]

Achilles zoomed forward in the air, giving pursuit to his target.

"A hero...", the Pinsir growled slamming both his fists downward on to Hector before unleashing a Submission barrage, "Never rests, never surrenders, and n-"

Hector took a swing at Achilles and launched him away, yelling, "   Arcsdammit Achilles, why don't you see? Your justice means nothing in this cruel world we live in-   "

Hector's yelling was interrupted as Achilles suddenly rose up from under him and caught him by the arm in a lock, lifting him up in the air.

"... And never stops growing!"

The Pinsir threw Hector down to the ground with tremendous force, several bricks and tiles from the ground being launched upward from the impact.

Hector slowly used his arms to push himself up off the ground. His exoskeleton had several visible cracks and he was bleeding profusely, but his face still looked enraged.

Achilles took not of Marlon levitating the Flynium-Z towards his vicinity and swooped around to grab it, grinning at the group for a second.

The Pinsir slammed on to the ground behind Hector, who quickly turned to see him.

"Hey Hector", said Achilles, breathing out deeply as he activated the Z-Crystal and tossed it up above himself, "Can "the strongest guardian" do this?"

Hector could only watch due to his injuries as Achilles caught the Z-Crystal in his hand and was surrounded by radiant wind energy. The fire in the Pinsir's eyes flared up more than Hector had ever seen as he lunged forward.

"Supersonic Skystrike...!"

Hector immediately held up his arms in front of his face, fortifying only his front with Protect.

   Kehehe... You idiot.   , he thought to himself,    I admit, never thought about using Z-Crystals in Mega Form myself, but not like it matters. This barrier can't be passed, just try and... Wait... Where is he.   

Hector's only exposed eye darted around nervously, and he eventually opened his arms a bit and looked down to see Achilles flying incredibly close to the ground with his fists still charged with Flying Z-Power.

"   You weren't going for the fa-   "

"ULTRA!"

Achille's wind-powered fist drove straight in to Hector's unguarded stomach. In just a second, the Pinsir turned the force of his entire body and sent Hector flying at high speeds, gales of wind rippling out from where he hit the Heracross.

Hector was launched far away to a nearby familiar building...


[Dorian's Office]

"   You all ain't go nothing on-   "

Just then, Hector was launched directly through the walls of the building and slammed straight in to Dorian, the two of them being knocked out of the other side.

The building shook as every window shattered.

Noriaki struggled to keep his footing and stammered, "Wh-what is this, there's a tremor...?"

Soten seems shocked but his expression soon became a grin as he said, "... Achilles. You glorious beetle...!"

(Whatever's Left of) Dorian's Office

(Don't know when to quit, eh? Fine, I'll just make sure... And suddenly, a blue blur slammed into Dorian like a cannonball, blasting him through the window as if it weren't even there. Well... that just... happened. I'm not even sure what to make of this. If that means that sack of shit's down, then I'll take it.)

(Eliza couldn't believe her eyes when she witnessed that Lickitung being blasted out of his office. Where did that come from and what caused this? Curiously, she looked outside the window to see what happened to the two. Hubert, despite the rumble of the office and the noise of shattered glass, was still knocked out.)


Outside of (What Used to be) Dorian's Office

(Arsene looked on as he noticed what briefly looked like a Heracross in his Mega form careening towards the building. After the initial shock of the impact, he came down as fast as he could to look at the damage. Whatever that was, it certainly would have destroyed the entire building if it aimed any lower.)

Ok, so that’s pretty much why Minato wanted to get the Crystal to Achilles. Marsha also waves Wrench over as-

Holy shit!

We immediately duck down for cover as soon as the burst of wind gets sent out, sending the Heracross with it...

I stand back up, calling for everyone around us to make sure they’re alright.

Holy hell...you guys okay? And...damn...

I look off in the distance and see a hole basically blown into the Office Building where everyone else was assigned to go find Dorian. I try to yell upward to them after focusing my attention in that direction.

Noriaki calls out to the others, "Yes, we are fine, we're going to come down now."

The Dartrix turned to the others and motioned for them to follow him out.


[Narcia, Streets]

Achilles is still in the same pose he was in as he launched Hector. He slowly shifts to a regular stance and looks to the rest of his group, putting up a fist in the air. His knuckles are bleeding, but he looks satisfied.

Nephenee's eyes glimmered a bit as she watched Achilles.

From the ground, Minato grinned.


[L'Arachel's Manor]

Gazing in to an ornate crystal ball, L'Arachel witnesses Hector and Dorian's defeat, only slowly closing her eyes in disappointment as she sighs.

"   That is it then...   ", she sighs out, "   I had warned Hector that I did NOT make him invincible, only gave him the tools he would need... But of course his inflated ego led for him only driving the village hero to break his limits further... And that Dorian... Part of me never expected such a sad being to be able to get rid of them anyway...   "

Montresor and Notte simply stood by, gazing forward.

Montresor looked a bit embarrassed that he was the one that first established contact with Dorian.

"Apologies, milady...", the Noctowl spoke out, "But I..."

"   No need for apologies, it was rather entertaining regardless... And besides, it is because of Dorian we have a proper and full war chest and supply of assorted useful items.   "

Both Woodruff and Eliot stare in stunned silence for a moment before Eliot, with a growing smile on his face, pumps his fists into the air and shouts, "HOLY SHIT" He continues to hoot and holler as Woodruff breathes a sigh of relief, relaxing just enough for Eliot to—

"OWW!" [Goddammit, I didn't need a fucking shot to the snotlocker...I roll around on the ground, feeling up and down my battered snout. Add to that the pain from my stomach and the general wooziness...nothing about this is really all that pleasent.]

"Sorry! Sorry!" Again, Woodruff pulls Eliot back up. "...oh, Arceus, you're hurt worst than I figured...and there's still more mons out there. Ohhhhh, this isn't good."

"Ahhh—" [I paw at Woodruff defiantly.] "—I'm fine. Here, stand me up...and don't fuckin' drop me again." [With some help from Woodruff, I'm able to get back on my own two feet with ease.] "See?" "Yea, yea..."

"Yea...that's what it looks like." She gives the area another once-over, but she doesn't get anything new, despite the tiny trail of drying blood lightly dotting the grass and an odd scrubbing in the dirt. However, she snaps her fingers and grins at Tiff. "Yeaaaa, see if there's any fallen branches, feathers, anything like that!" However, she soon finds herself stumped. "But where would we start?"

I followed the group out of the building, but not before carrying the Watchog with me. He might know something in case )

(Meanwhile, Eliza couldn't help but wonder if Dorian had ever done business with Umberto before she worked under him. She still couldn't help but notice that she almost let it slip. Without another word, she followed the group down.)

(From the outside, Arsene looked at the group as a whole, most notably the Pinsir, and asked.) If that managed to hit who I think it is, who's going to check the body? (Assuming that there is one left anyways, he thought.)

Lane just stands there stunned for a moment after seeing something hit Dorian and blast the two of them off to who knows where.

...What even was that.

As the others start to leave, he turns to the hole in the side of the building, intending to glide to the ground, but then changes his mind and follows the others downstairs—probably a bit safer, he figures, since he is a bit reluctant to attempt actual flying, well, gliding, right at this time.
