The Crew Continues

“What…the…oh good Mew almighty, it’s raining glass!”

Wolfy scampered around for a bit, trying to dodge the glass shards that rained down upon them from above. It wasn’t an easy task, and a couple of them managed to scrape her back…and she even got lucky enough to step on a fallen one, causing her paw pad to bleed some. She winced, but oddly enough did not let out any noise to signal the pain at the impact, instead focusing herself on beating the heck outta there!

“GAH! Those things are sharper than they look!” she finally cried, limping toward Rhaenn and taking refuge under her stomach. “Quick! Hide somewhere! We’re all gonna die soon!”

Uh oh.

Spoke to soon.

Again.

From out of seemingly nowhere, a wobuffet sprung out of them with such momentum it was as if it had been tossed into the air in said direction. At any moment, the crazy psychic-type would crash right into them. Wolfy sweatdropped, putting her paws over her head in some form of attempt to save herself.

“…brilliant. Just…excellent…”

OOC: OK, Rhaenn! Time to save me…(again) o,o

[[ooc: Oh Wolfy! You’ll be the death of me. x’D ]]

~ ~ ~

“What…the…oh good Mew almighty, its raining glass!”

That wasn’t quite the thank you Rhaenn had been expecting, but it didn’t take long for Rhaenn to figure out what Wolfy meant anyways. There were tiny, faint slivers of light that tore through the air at immense speeds; their various sizes nicking those unfortunate souls that didn’t manage to get out of the way in time.

Grimacing as a few struck her back - a rather determined one piercing Rhaenn’s left ear – Rhaenn spread out her feet, trying to lay as flat as possible to avoid being struck in the face.

“GAH! Those things are sharper than they look!” she heard Wolfy cry - who quickly limped underneath Rhaenn’s tummy – sick of the pain herself. Rhaenn winced as another shard struck her shoulder, but bit her tongue to avoid hissing from annoyance as she saw Wolfy’s bloodied paw and stern face. The pup definitely seemed to have it a lot worse off - that’s for sure.

“Quick! Hide somewhere! We’re all gonna die soon!” Wolfy bleated from underneath her stomach, adding on to her previous observation - although Rhaenn really didn’t need to be reminded twice.

“Y… Yeah, but where? …” Rhaenn managed to respond - barley able to get a look of where they were now without getting her snout notched. She inhaled, and hissed on her exhale as her body stung in multiple areas – like tiny pin-pricks. Suddenly, she felt Wolfy tense up from beneath her.

“What’s the matt … er …” Rhaenn froze, the sight of an incoming Wobbuffet causing her body to go numb much like Wolfy’s. The Wobbuffet seemingly had sprung from nowhere while they were taking refuge from the shards, and was now ricocheting towards them at an incredible speed.

They had taken their eye off the enemy for a split second…

What do we do? … Run? … Duck? … Attack?
…What now?

Rhaenn tried to gasp for a breath, but the air seemed to get caught in her throat, making her feel like a Magikarp without water.

We’re not going to make it in time to -–

Rhaenn’s tail twitched as she lunged over Wolfy and toward the Wobbuffet’s direction - acting only on instinct - to block the way. She dipped her shoulder down and twisted her torso sideways; clenching her jaw and shutting her eyes until they both hurt. Her mind echoed the screech the Wobuffet had emitted; the sounds coming separately in giant waves. She heard Wolfy herself echo repeatedly - her words almost slightly sarcastic amongst the screeching and talking.

And then it was quiet.
Or so it felt.

" … Either I’m already dead … Or this is going to hurt alot ".

As he was resting on the floor, Fangorn was able to hear the sounds of battle far off in the distance. He couldn’t really tell where it was coming from, but it sounded like it was intense. He could have sworn he had heard roaring.

After what seemed like an hour (but was really only a few minutes), he opened his eyes and got up off of the ground, brushing off the mud that stuck to his body. “That was unpleasant,” the Sceptile said to himself as the last bit of mud was brushed off. He still looked like a mess with little smudges of mud and bruises, but it was better than looking like some sort of mud monster. He also stank of sludge.

He took a moment to survey his surroundings, which was nothing but swampy mud and scattered trees with the signs of his battle clearly marking the landscape. He listened for any signs of life, but all he could hear was the sound of the battle taking place in the far distance. Then he heard something faint, but familiar to his ear. It was barely audible at first, but Fangorn made it out to be the cries of a Growlith, and he could only place it on one thing.

Wolfy!

He began to take off in the direction he heard the yelling, stopping only to pick up his pack which had conveniently gotten itself stuck high up in a tree and lost half of its contents, but it still had a few supplies and his journal. As he ran, he noticed what looked like glass shards raining from the sky and had to slow his progress to avoid stepping on one of these spikes. He felt one or two nick his back, wincing in pain as one made a noticeable cut running diagonally down his face, but he kept going as fast as he could through the flying glass shards without stepping on any.

Hang in there Wolfy, he thought, I’m coming!

At the top.

-Eggman’s eyes were in shock. He had never seen anything like this, so much raw power emitting from one person, not even the orb he had consumed could compare to what had just happened. Soul moved so quickly, so fluidly, he seemed to blend in with the colors around him only pausing to strike and to send Eggman back a few feet. Soul had no emotion, no feeling, all he cared for was more power, and he had Eggman in his sights. The tension broke and Soul blended with what seemed to be the light itself and grabbed Eggman from the throat. A deep growl came from Soul’s throat, and he looked into Eggman’s, slowly putting him to sleep, entering the domain of his own Soul.
The world was plain, it was blank, with what looked like the edges to be slightly dirty. The world was unstable, the lines and contours that made up a person was warped, and seemed as if a child had drawn every frame, every movement. Eggman looked up, and he saw a man. He was tall, and his hair looked like fire, and his eyes, they looked like they were the flames of hell itself. He was curious of the man, and walked slowly to him as he nudged his face toward his hand. It pushed him back, and it frightened him. What is this? Eggman thought, What is this…fear? The man grinned, and bared black teeth, and when he reached for his waist, Eggman wished to run, far, far away from this place but wherever he was, everything began to shrink, and the red and white ball of doom went for him, and sealed his fate.
Soul awoke abruptly, his mouth snapped shut, and felt an overwhelming force flow through him. It constricted his bones, and small jolts of insanity flowed around him. The ground around him began to shake slowly, and Soul roared, the mournful roar that echoed through the Distortion world, and it aroused two soul’s inside of him
We have been one for a long time, and we have awakened for your own safety
You have gone mad master, we had once stood by your side, and we shall continue to, but you are loosing it.
They echoed in his head very loudly, and it bothered Soul to the core. He roared and thrashed, as the flaming ball of his soul began to spark with the eyes of insanity, and eventually, it was generating mass amounts of it. Now, his soul was a ball of fire, engulfed in a cage of insanity.
You have what you want, we must leave, before the area is too concentrated with such power, it could unsettle the planets crust, let alone the gods
We are Gods We are one with master, and we must relive him of his pain.
You were always a loyal fool Deoxys, you never know when to retreat
And you are a coward Mewtwo, Soul knows what he is doing, and we shall aide him when needed.
“ENOUGH”, Eggman said, "If we are to be a part of Soul, we must leave at once!
Soul roared, and shook the voices in his head, as he thrashed on the ground, roaring, screaming, tearing things to shreds. His eyes caught something of a certain color, a pink, and Soul stopped. He stared at the hue, and became hypnotized by it. Whatever it was, it needed to die, it had to die with everything else in this world, only to spread insanity.

Seig grinned at the pathetic attempt to stop him, a Luxray? Against him? Seig shrieked in glee when he smashed into it’s shoulder, feeling the impact shove him back, and quickly slipping in a counter for double the damage.
Or so he thought.
The second he hit the Pokemon, a sharp jolt went throughout his body, and he was paralyzed. He groaned, monaed, and screamed at the top of his lungs, as the other Wobbufett rushed to his aide, and ran off with him back to Forlorn tower.

Rotom rubbed his head, and got up groggily. He had no idea what had gone on in the past few days, but whatever it was, he noticed it had trashed his tower. The entire place was littered with flames, with broken chunks of the stone walls all over the floor, with several holes in the floors and ceilings. He walked about, and to his accursed luck, he fell down a few floors, and rolling down a few staircases, he was launched out of the tower, right into a tree. He fell to the ground, and fell into a leaf, turning into Mowtom. His eyes opened slowly, and he saw the reddened skies, and he flipped out. He drove around in circles screaming bloody murder and such, and ran into another tree. The second jolt to the head rattled his brain a bit, and jogged his memory up to speed. He remembered everything, the Exeggutor, Soul, the mudkips, it all came flowing into his head. He drove to the side of a cliff, and caught the eye of some Pokemon, and Rotom was saved. He dashed down the mountain crying, he had found someone who could save his sorry ass.-

OoC:If my posts sucks, I’ve been out of it for a week. Hopefully we can wrap things up soon, so we can Crew Continues back to where it belongs.

-Soul was going insane. He was tearing everything around him apart, searching for the glimpse of color he had seen, so he could destroy it, rip it, tear it to tatters, and hope that the voices in his head would stop. He roared, he screamed, he destroyed poketown bit by bit, searching for the one thing that bugged him. There were several other SCUBA troops still around by some miracle, but they were all dispatched of in seconds, and torn to bits. Soul only paused to take the souls of the strongest, as he returned the search. He heard a squeal, and he returned to the massive crater Eggman had created, and he saw it. It was a small, pink Raichu, it was different then any other, and it would be his. It didn’t matter how strong it was. It didn’t matter what it had done, Soul had set his eyes on it, and it would die.

Amy didn’t have much time to think, before she knew it Soul held her above the ground, his claws around her throat. She turned her head; she saw a glimpse in the distance. She saw Kronic. She reached her hand out to him.

Soul’s breath was heavy. He saw the fear in this things eyes, and it pleased him, it pleased him to no ends. He was glad this Pokémon was going to die, and yet he felt terrible, angry, confused, scared, all the souls he had taken in his lifespan were reaching out to his own, to stop it, to let her live, to pity her life, and allow her to run free. Soul roared and the souls ran back, all of them a monotonous scream, each a different pitch, all begging to die, to let this horror end, and allow them to relax in a new world. He rose the Pokémon to the sun, and stared her down, allowing her to see the entire world through his eyes, everything he had seen, everything he had felt, everything every single soul he held in is body held, as he closed his hand shut.

There was a small crack, and the Pokémon lay still.

Kronic couldn’t believe it, everything seemed so surreal. He heard the crack. So many thoughts raced through his head. He only could think one single thought.

Revenge…

His body emblazed with the flames, they tightly compacted around his body. No longer were they even flames but a strong aura. He saw images flash before his own eyes; he felt sadness, pain, anger. He made eye contact with soul only for a second; he disappeared out of his vision. Suddenly he was behind soul. He bashed the ground with his scythes. The ground erupted. He faded into the columns of the flames, and then suddenly one exploded from underneath Soul.

Soul saw him coming, every single step. Every single muscle flex in his body, every frame, every second, he could see everything, hear everything, and he could kill everything. He saw him slip behind his defenses, and bash his arms against the ground, brining a massive column of flame beneath him, and it engulfed Soul. He felt the heat char his bones, the heat felt so good, it gave comforted Soul, and wanted to kill him as well. Soul opened his mouth, as his bones cracked, and he released a massive pillar of water, pure, shimmering, white water, and pierced through the fire. His eyes quickly dashed about, searching for him, whatever had attacked. He saw the pillars of flames around him, and Soul roared. He shot massive blasts of the water into the sky, and massive waterfalls fell unto them, putting each one out, waiting for him to reveal himself, so he could take his soul, and the next persons, and the next, a never ending hunt for power.

The white water fared surprisingly well on the Primal’s flame, Putting each of the columns out, one by one. Kronic had to think quickly. If he even staled for one second he would be destroyed. He couldn’t last for much longer where he was. He focused the flames around him, they circled around him in a clockwise motion, then he pushed upwards. He busted right out from under soul, the flames and his spinning scythes made contact. He regained balance. He didn’t stop, even for a second. A loud rippling sound cut through the air as he ran towards Soul.

Soul could feel the scythes cut into his bones, they were not clean cuts, Soul was able to maneuver so they did not stick into the bones, they skimmed over him. He felt no pain. His bones began to steam, as his bones released a black gook, as they settled over the scratches, resealing all the cuts. Everything was happening so quickly, yet to Soul and what was know identified as Kronic, this was a dance. A dance to the death, with only one survivor. Soul watched as Kronic ran towards him, a sound ripping through the air, pushing Soul back farther. Soul roared, as he took one step forward and blended into the colors of light. He changes the spectrum of the colors of his body, and appeared from under Kronic, throwing his arm upward, scratching deeply into Kronic’s back.

The cut ran deep into his back, he screamed in agony. He jumped back; Soul was powerful. It was like the attacks weren’t even hurting him. Kronic paused for only a minute, the Primal’s flame condensed around one scythe. Then suddenly the necklace was enveloped in a dark aura. The black flame engulfed the other scythe, Kronic clashed the two scythes together, a blast of sparks rained. He slashed the air, and the two auras of energy flew at soul. They hit right in front of soul, the two energies combined, then it exploded in a shower of dark and Primal flames.

Soul deftly landed a few feet away after the attack, and before he could even think, two massive energy blasts were launched at Soul. He had no time to retaliate, and they had him pinned where he stood. They burned away at his rib cage, coming dangerously close to his core. Soul’s hands began to bleed, letting the black blood ooze onto his joints. He pushed the blasts away with one hand, and threw one back with the other. Soul did not wait a single second after they flew back. He threw his arms out, as a small spiral fire began to spring around him. His core began to increase in site, and eventually burned most of his rib cage away. Soul roared, as he rammed his hand into it, and ripped it out, sending a massive blast of molten lava, but it was pitch black, and it was riddled with the sparks of insanity.

Kronic saw the lava coming strait towards him; he didn’t have enough time to react. The dark flames rose up to protect him from the lava. Just keeping the flames up to protect him was work. He added the Primal’s flame behind the dark flame. It was barely able to stand up to the molten lava. Kronic jumped up into the air, he summoned the wall of flames to spiral around him. As he did he quickly came crashing to the ground. Like a Fireball from the sky. On impact the flames rippled through the ground, causing a wall of flames to cascade on soul from behind.

Soul grabbed Kronic head on, He slid a few hundred feet back, but held him in place. Soul had him now, and it was time for him to die. Soul grabbed Kronic by the neck, and tossed him into the sky. Soul roared, and his eyes changed the marks all over his body, the seeds of insanity, they became his eyes, they became one with him. What little logic he had left was tossed aside, and the end was near. It was either Kronic or Soul, the Good or the Evil, and the following moments would decided the fate of not only Poketown, for its fate had been sealed, but of the entire world. Soul took to the skies, he shot off like a rocket towards Kronic, and engulfed his entire body with the black blood, maximizing the force of his body against Kronic’s.

The force of impact was strong, even with the shield of flames that Kronic and soul came crashing to the ground. Kronic stumbled to get up… and then it happened…

Soul pushed himself up from the ground. His bones snapped into place, and those broken began to seal themselves with the black blood. Soul was panting. He was running out of options, and he needed to end it all. His power was overflowing, the insanity was pulsing through his body, and his body itself was having trouble controlling the outbursts of power concurring, almost blasting him to pieces. It didn’t matter. If he died. If Kronic died. If the world died with him. If the universe were to implode on itself, Soul would not care. Everything that belonged to him died a long time ago. He wanted power, so much power, and he had it, yet he was still alone. He had nothing. His eyes returned to normal and his reason began to slowly come back to himself. Soul looked around him, and saw the destruction he had caused on everyone, on all of them. Why had he done this? There was once a time were they were his friends, were they both rallied together to fight evil, or just to be with each other. There even had been a one who loved him, and yet he ignored her, and left her to die. It was that out of everything that bugged him the most. Soul roared, and his body shook all over. He couldn’t hold it anymore. He would kill them all. Regardless of what they were to him before, now, or in the future. Soul roared, and his eyes when pitch black. His core exploded, and began growing at massive rates, so much power had been pushed into one area, and it began to supernova. The giant ball of flame began to engulf everything, and anything it touched. And when it grew to the size of half of Poketown, it exploded. The entire dome engulfed Poketown, and Soul.

What was the reason to this existence? The power had reached its limit, Kronic was engulfed in seconds. Soul had done his last act, to destroy everything including himself… in one last attack. Would it just end? Was this the end of the Primals? Was this the end to everything? Was it truly doomsday? Would everyone be erased in seconds?

The flames burned away at Kronic. Even the Primals flame slowly withered away. He had ran out of options. The necklace pulsed. The Black flame began to engulf his body. It grew tighter and tighter around him. The primal flame returned to him. The two combined. He was able to stand in the dome. It took him all his energy to walk towards the center. The dark orange flame cut through the blast. The core gleamed in the center. Then suddenly Kronic’s flame constricted him. It grew tight around him, almost crushing him. The necklace glowed in the center. Then it happened. There was a bright flash… the energy was sent rippling across the fields. A huge beam of light was sent into the sky… and then the calm.

Kronic stood in the ruins of the crossroads, everything was destroyed. He could barely stand. He looked over, Amy’s body laid in the grass. As he looked up it began to rain. The water flowed down his face. He walked over to her, and laid his cape over her body. He picked her up and began to carry her.

He made it no further to poketown square, he had no more energy, he set her down. And slowly fell to the ground.-

-Rotom had his plan all set. He had radioed in to his old pal Drifblim and got a whole team to follow him down the mountain in order to begin the evacuation as soon as possible. About half way down the mountain, there was a horrendous scream, and the entire earth shook, as a massive dome rose from the distance, and massive winds lashed against the whole team of the Drifblim. Rotom screeched to a halt, and saw the giant marvel, and he proceeded to piss all over the place. After a few embarrassing moments, the Drifblim proceed in carrying Rotom down the mountain, as he screamed his guts out.

Souls body lay motionless. It stood rigid in the rain, the rain drops traced the contours of his body, as they made their way to the ground. The struggle for power had ended. He had lost, as he had with everything in his life. His Soul slowly drifted to the heavens, as the same gods who had brought him into the world, took him out of it.
Or, at least to the middle.
Soul had awoken in a world of ivory, everything was white all around him, except for a massive door, with a large tree carved into it. There was a man standing in front of him, with a wide grin, as he spoke.

“My my, haven’t you caused enough trouble on Earth, and now you cause it in this world?” the man said, his voice was warped, and it varied in pitch, “Now usually the deal is very simple, but the sheer magnitude of your power, you could ask for whatever you wanted, over a thousand times.”

“What do you mean,” said Soul, but he surprised himself. He was his old self once more, and his voice startled him.

“Whenever one opens the gate, one ask for anything a man could desire, for a price.” the man replied, standing up from his previous position, kneeling on one knee.

“I’ve caused enough problems for a millennium. Let me simply observe,” Soul said, as he sat down next to the man, and the gates opened. Thousands of words sprung from the greedy hands that shot out. They all dug into Soul’s mind, as he saw everything in the universe, every planet, every atom, everything possible, Soul began to see. He pushed everything away, and searched for his home.

He found it, just the way he left it.

A Nuclear Wasteland.-

OoC:My posts are numbered! After I wrap up with Rotom, I say Aideu.

OOC: looks like we’re almost done here. This is a short post since I can’t really do much right now.

As he was running, something in the distance caught Fangorn’s immediate attention. In the distance, a bright light had suddenly appeared along with a shock wave that almost knocked him off of his feet. It was the largest explosion he had ever seen, but he was troubled by the fact that it came from the direction of Poketown. Nothing would have been able to survive a blast of that magnitude.

Setting that worry aside, he concentrated on his current task of finding Wolfy and Rhaenn, who he spotted in the distance along with many blue blobs running away from them.

“Hey!” he yelled as he came closer, “Are you two alright?"

“Aye!” Wolfy suddenly cried out, as she felt a force push her to the side. She feel onto the ground head on, almost scraping up her face. “Hey, what was -?” She turned around just in time to witness Rhaenn, who had unmistakenly been the so-called “force” that had thrown her body of its course. And…with good reason.

“AAAHH! RHAENN!” she screamed in anguish. She watched, horrified as wobuffet made contact with luxray. She thought she heard a crack, almost like a crack of a bone…and then sparks of electricity as they caught onto the psychic-type. Luckily, making contact with the enemy had caused it to become paralysed and, moreover, was enough of an epidemic to cause the wobuffet and his gang packing. With them out of the way, Wolfy was able to approach Rhaenn without having to worry about getting another arse-whoopin’ from a nearby foe.

“Rhaenn…Rhaenn…AAAAHHH!” she cried out again. She could not believe this. She should have been the one in this position. The one to take the blow! Rhaenn was undeserving, especially after her heroic actions of chomping through the muck to save her from suffocation. “NOOO! Why must it happen to all the good people in this world! NNNNNOOOOOO!”

To her relief, the luxray did not appear to be dead. The collision had probably left her surprised and shaken up, but that was as far as Wolfy could tell. She didn’t seem to have any injuries. However, when the two of them had bumped into each other, that cracking noise had sounded suspiciously like the breaking of bones…could it have been the excess electricity? Or did one of them really break a bone? One possibility could be that the wobuffet got the blunt of the blow. But another one could be that Rhaenn…

“Rhaenn! Can you move…? Can you get up…?” the growlithe asked, hovering around the electric-type up close and nervously as though she were afraid she may suddenly die right on the spot.

She heard a familiar voice and spun around, catching the glimpse of a green figure running toward them. “Fangorn!” she yelled out, instantly recognising him. “Yes, I’m OK, but I don’t know about Rhaenn! A wobuffet jumped at her and…you probably want to see this for yourself!” She beckoned Fangorn toward the fallen Rhaenn, limping a little as not to set foot on the paw with the open cut.

[ooc: I Don"t know how much of this will make sense, seeing as it"s 5:00 in the morning - but I figured I should post anyways. I"ll fix any mistakes later. ]
(:
The collision happened within seconds.

Rhaenn’s heart stopped a second early as the Wobbuffet smashed into her right shoulder – a sickening jolt coursing right through her entire body. The screeching echoed in her ears, and the wind roared as she was sent flying back a few feet, bluntly striking a jagged rock with her backside. The air was forced from her lungs by the impact, and a quivering thunderclap sounded what seemed seconds later. With her eyes still closed, Rhaenn slumped to the ground lifelessly – half of her already sinking into the muck.

Her head was throbbing violently, but Rhaenn could still hear Wolfy’s panicked a cry – which actually seemed a good thing at this rate. That meant at least she wasn’t dead. At least not [i] yet [/i]. She tried to get up to keep her companion from worrying, but the pain coursing through her body proved it wouldn’t be as easy as she thought. She hissed as she attempted to roll onto her right side - an unsettling feeling jumping from the pit of her stomach – which caused her to hastily roll back into her previous position. The pain was going to make her sick if she kept moving. Gritting her teeth in hopes that the nausea would fade, Rhaenn focused on the excruciating pain arising from her shoulder. She hadn’t realized the toll she had taken from the hit until now – which was far too late.

She didn’t want to move.
She just wanted to lay there motionless, and beg the heavens that the agony would pass.


By now – she was quite aware of Wolfy standing over her mangled body; the X-Ray vision simply showing her the world beyond her closed eyelids. The pup’s face – although blurred – appeared concerned as she stood rooted close to Rhaenn’s side.

“Rhaenn! Can you move…? Can you get up…?”

[i] Darn.

… I must really look bashed up in that case -[/i] Rhaenn thought to herself – shutting her eyes tighter as another wave of nausea passed. It was a little embarrassing to be out on the ground like this – the little pup had been through so much more and was still standing… She - on the other hand - had only taken one hit, and was pretty much down for the count.

“I…” Rhaenn croaked, her voice wavering as she felt another rush of dizziness overcome her. She paused for a moment to briefly recover. “… No. I don’t think I can get up; let alone move on my own…”

Rhaenn heard someone approach – but she couldn’t quite crane her neck far enough to see who, although Wolfy quickly did the honours of introducing the sudden guest.

“Fangorn!” Wolfy suddenly yelled, her worried expression quickly vanishing. The pup continued to speak, but most of it went in through one of Rhaenn’s ears - and out the other. Sighing from embarrassment, Rhaenn craned her neck as far as she could to look for the remainder of the Wobuffets as a distraction. Noticing that they had all fled – Rhaenn sighed once more, also smiling with her own sense of accomplishment. Grinning with [i] hopeless [/i] optimism, Rhaenn tilted her head slightly to better-face Wolfy, and flashed all her teeth in a clearly visible smile.

“… Hey Wolfy … We sure gave them a run for their Poké, didn’t we?”

Fangorn slid to a halt over Rhaenn, quickly examining the wounds she had taken. The Luxray was still breathing, which was a relief, but she had taken quite the beating and her shoulder looked like it was dislocated.

“You look like you were just hit by a rampaging Tauros!” said Fangorn as he pulled a bottle out of his pack and poured a little of its contents down Rhaenn’s throat “I know Wobbufetts are dangerous, but they usually don’t attack other pokemon like that.”

He turned and looked at Wolfy, the cut on his face beginning to bleed freely as he examined her. He noticed that her paw was cut, but it didn’t look too bad. Gently, Fangorn took her paw, cleaned it with a little Sitrus Berry Extract, and bandaged it tightly to prevent any farther bleeding. He smiled at her. “You don’t know how happy I am to see that you’re both okay. If anything happened to you I-”

He stopped himself, feeling a tear squeezing itself out of his eye, and focused his attention back on Rhaenn. If he didn’t fix her shoulder now, it would only get worse later.

“Hold on Rhaenn. Your shoulder’s been dislocated, but this should only take a second.” he said, taking her arm and rotating it back into place with a quick little snap.

Within moments - Fangorn was at Rhaenn’s side examining her wounds. Flinching a little as the Sceptile approached, Rhaenn lay still and breathed in deeply to calm herself.

Once again. How embarrassing.

Keeping her eyes closed while using her X-ray vision – Rhaenn studied the Sceptile’s face as he pulled out a small bottle from his small pack; which he nudged to the corner of Rhaenn’s mouth. Eyeing the bottle rather cautiously, she hesitantly weighed her options. She’d seen the Sceptile treat a few wounds before – a few of them being Wolfy’s – so she figured she could trust him.

Diligently opening the corner of her mouth, the Sceptile quickly poured the liquid down her throat, causing Rhaenn to gag with disgust. The Sceptile then turned to aid Wolfy’s wounded paw, while continuing to ponder the Wobuffets’ rouge actions.

“I know Wobuffets are dangerous, but they usually don’t attack other Pokémon like that.”

Are you kidding me? Forget the Wobuffets! What the heck was the stuff he just poured down my throat?!
Now THAT could wake the dead!

Rhaenn continued to gag whilst sticking out her tongue repetitively in a desperate attempt to get the horrid taste out of her mouth. Cringing as she felt the last of the thick liquid go down her throat, Rhaenn opened her eyes, trying her best not to move her shoulder. The Sceptile was finished treating Wolfy’s paw, and he smiled to Wolfy.

“You don’t know how happy I am to see that you’re both okay. If anything happened to you I-”

There was a brief pause, and it only took her seconds to notice Fangorn’s attention had been redirected towards her once more. For a moment – Rhaenn could’ve sworn she’d seen a sinister glint in the Sceptile’s eyes.

“Hold on Rhaenn. Your shoulder’s been dislocated, but this should only take a second.”

“…Well yeah – I think I’ve established that much myse— “

SWEET ARCEUS!

Rhaenn screeched, hardly noticing that Fangorn had taken her arm [it’d been numb] and rotated into place. There was a click, followed by a few cracks as the bone fell back into place.

Acting on instinct, Rhaenn kicked her feet out from terror – nearly upper-cutting the Sceptile in the face as she did so. Scrambling back onto all fours, she wobbled as her right side gave way a few times, before regaining balance.

“What in Darkrai’s name where you THINKING?! You could’ve given me a warning or something! … ” she whined, limping slightly to her right, and then back to her left. She furrowed her brow, placing a bit more pressure onto her right leg.

Hey.
It doesn’t hurt anymore.

“ … Ah… That… actually… That wasn’t so bad,” Rhaenn grinned, slightly wincing as a few after-shocks of pain shivered through her body. Rhaenn nodded towards Fangorn, “… Err… Thanks,”

OoC: To my dearest friend Celebishine. All your characters in Poketown are dead. Unanimous vote by the CC council. Your death also includes your expulsion from the next arc.
HAVE A NICE DAY >D

-The Drifblim were able to knock Rotom’s head over a few rocks on the way down, taking him out and his insane screams of bloody murder. As they began to land, they encountered a small band of Pokemon, a Luxray, an Growlithe, and a Sceptile treating the Luxray.

“Hello, I hear you’ve had one hell of a time,” said the largest of the Floons, and the most known, he was the one who would ferry Pokemon across the sea to Forlorn, “You aren’t the only one however. I don’t know if you saw that blast or not but,” said the Drifblim, as he lifted the unconscious body of Rotom, “Our sources tell us that blast was in Poketown, from some freak experiment an Exeggutor tried to pull off. There are probably a plethora of injured, and by the looks of it, you’re pretty good with a bandage. My party and I are prepared to evacuate you and any other Pokemon, just tell us when you are ready.” The rest of the Drifblim all settles on the ground and began unpacking medical supplies for the band of Pokemon in front of them, the other crates were for the relief of Poketown. Several Pelipper had already left the Forlorn base of operations, a separate base from the tower itself, carrying vast supplies for the rebuilding of Poketown.-

OOC: Meh… this looks like a poor poor quality post to me, but whatever.

Fangorn jolted his head backwards to avoid getting hit by the flailing Rhaenn, who had calmed down after she tested her leg. At least she could stand, but walking would probably be a different matter.

“Well that wasn’t so bad, was it?” he said to her, “But you shouldn’t move it too much for a few weeks, you shoulder needs time to heal.”

“Hello, I hear you’ve had one hell of a time.”
He then turned to see the Drifblim approach, recognizing the one that spoke to be the same one that performs the ferry services.

“It’s something I certainly don’t want to go through again, that’s for sure,” Fangorn replied, noting the many supplies that the group carried. “I saw the explosion from here too… but I’m not sure if very many pokemon would have been able to survive a blast like that, but I would be glad to help.”

He looked Wolfy and Rhaenn, “Besides, I think we’ve had about enough of this place already. We should get back as soon as possible.”

-Kronic lay on his back still unable to move. However he had regained consciousness. His body was numb. The strong pressure of both the Primal flame and the Black flame was to blame for that. He could only move his eyes at this point. As he looked down however he noticed something… His necklace was gone. Not only that, but pieces made a trail from crossroads.

Then he realized that the power of the black flame was gone. It no longer was held by the necklace. This scared him. Kronic looked to the side… and he saw it.

The aura was strong with darkness. It had no definite form. The creature moved slowly towards winden. It stopped and looked back, its eyes pure white, and its body dark as shadow. From that darkness emerged a claw. It looked familiar to Kronic, then he realized it.

On the tips of the claw there was blood.

Suddenly a sharp pain traveled through Kronic’s back.

However after that… it disappeared.-

-Reflection stood at the mouth of the cave, surprised at what he had saw. He merely laughed at the whole event. As he did something arose from behind him in the shadows. He stopped laughing and merely stood there, accepting his fate. Darkness coursed through him. And in seconds he was dead.

A figure left the cave, jumping down the snowy cliff tops of the Winden Mountains. It landed on the ground. In it’s vision the vast winden tundra. It slowly walked into the blizzard, disappearing from view.-

It looks better as well…-

[[ooc: I have a headache - and I"m not feeling rather creative, so my apologies. Just keeping the end of this role-play rolling. It all ends soooooon~ ]]
“Well that wasn’t so bad, was it?” Fangorn grinned to Rhaenn, “But you shouldn’t move it too much for a few weeks, you shoulder needs time to heal".

Rhaenn’s tail moved delicately in small circles as her eyes tried to avoid the Sceptile’s gaze. She figured a curt nod would suffice, and then resumed testing the amount of pressure she could exert onto her leg. She was lucky Fangorn had fixed her shoulder before it got any worse. At this rate – she could probably limp back to Pokétown without straining herself too hard. Her train of thought was interrupted by another speaker.

“Hello, I hear you’ve had one hell of a time.”

The voice was unfamiliar, but the owner itself seemed to be an ally. Fangorn happily seemed to greet the giant Driftblim, which eased the worry in Rhaenn’s mind. At least they weren’t going to be attacked once more.

The small conversation between Fangorn and the Driftblim dragged on for a few minutes, mentioning something about an explosion at Pokétown, and how the area needed rebuilding. Confused – Rhaenn stared back towards the general direction of the town - but the overall view of it was bleak. She couldn’t see much either way.

“…Besides, I think we’ve had about enough of this place already. We should get back as soon as possible.” Rhaenn heard Fangorn finish, who was facing Wolfy and herself now. Nodding hastily herself – she couldn’t shake off the nervous feeling of what awaited them back in Town. A little concerned, she limped towards Fangorn and the Driftblim.

“… Perhaps … We should also hurry then? After all, we’re not really sure how bad Pokétown was hit, right?"

Fangorn checked over Rhaenn for a second, then went on to treat Wolfy. The growlithe tried to nod it off, to try to be strong…but a part of her still wanted to be grateful for the sceptile still tending to her wounds. She halfway wanted to grow up and be tough but also halfway happy that Fangorn was still there for her. She only licked at her paw for a little after he put the bandage on - it wasn’t really too bad. In fact, it was taking her longer to recover from her prior suffocation, which was still making her a bit hard of breath. Not only that, but she saw the cut on Fangorn’s face and that made her a bit worried too. Everyone seemed to have their injuries from the battle - she just hoped none of them would be fatal.

The growlithe’s attention was caught off guard as she heard a screech from the direction of Fangorn and Rhaenn. The fur on her neck instantly rose up as if ready to battle any foe that may decide to show itself, but she quickly realised it was only a part of Rhaenn’s treatment.

“Rhaenn…? Uh, are you OK?” the growlithe asked, sweatdropping as she approached. She was still a bit nervous, but Fangorn seemed calm and that fact alone told her that the luxray was going to be fine. Wolfy was completely assured, however, when Rhaenn spoke back, giving her thanks to the sceptile. Wolfy sighed in relief.

“Well…I guess we all made it out alive. That’s something to be happy about!” she ejaculated, mostly to herself. She saw Fangorn and Rhaenn turn and noticed that there was another pokemon…well, two. One of them appeared to be screaming its head off. The other, however, appeared to be a flying pokemon - one that had apparently come to rescue them. She was very glad they’d be able to get out of the dreadful place. It would be terrible if she were to die…and even worse if either Fangorn or Rhaenn had bit the dust. There had been a lot of pokemon dying lately, and she would hate to see anyone else come to death, especially her friends that were so close to her.

“Yes! We should go straight away. There may be more wobuffet lurking about…” She turned her head to look around them, just to be sure. “You sure you two are alright…?”

OK…since when am I the one to get so worked up over this? It was just a battle, nothing more than that. We’re gonna be fine. Fangorn and Rhaenn are gonna be fine. But why am I still feeling this…? Hopelessness? Guilt? Fear? What even IS this? Maybe if we rest up and regain our strength, I’ll begin to feel better…and clear my head of these silly thoughts…

OOC: Let’s get out of here, already! jumps onto Drifblim

-The Drifblim gathered all the necessary equipment, and began to take off. They prepped for the Pokemon traveling with them, and made sure that the injured Pokemon would be able to travel with them safely. The Drifblim began a slow decent, making sure to catch the right currents towards Poketown, hoping that the new forming clouds around them would not disturb anything. Once they hit a few hundred feet, the first few began to speed up, and disappeared in seconds. They jolted from their place like a live wire, almost looking as they had hit hyper drive speeds in the air. The six left behind began to bolt themselves, first the one carrying the Sceptile, then the Growlithe, and finally, slowly, but carefully, the Luxray was carried across the vast sea. Rotom, however, decided to stay out of this newest adventure, he had his fair share of misfortune, and he decided to stay behind and fix up Forlorn with the remaining troops left in Forlorn. The salty spray hit the Drifblim rather quickly, it was a familiar smell to them, and they thoroughly enjoyed it, it reminded them of their countless journeys across the sea, bringing back warm memories. They quickly hurried, and landed at the outskirts of Poketown in around 30 minutes.-

OoC: And there we have it. Soul’s last Rp post.
