Slowly they drew closer to the tower, and as they did he stopped as he saw the creature being contained within it's confines, or something like that? A creature that he recognized all to well, and he frowned deeply.

"So this is why I couldn't find it despite my best efforts...." He grimaced as he realized just how fruitless all the searching he had done, had truly been. It was here, but what for? What were they using it for? What possible advantage could it give them unless....He frowned deeply. "I think we just found our way out, but if our wishes aren't answered we will be stuck here while our will is slowly eroded away...." He still remembered the myths of the Lake Guardians from his homeland. They gave the people Knowledge, Emotion, and Will respectively, but they could also take that away, or so the legends went.

If there was even a modicum of truth to them they were screwed even more than he had originally thought....

"Allow me to introduce you to the prophet I told you about....Meet Azelf...." He spoke to her with somehow an even more bitter tone than he previously held.

He had a purpose now, he had a reason to keep going.

After his conversations with , and he did what he always did, he bided his time. Waiting for opportunity to present itself, and this was no different. These creatures, these people had taken his dragon....They had taken Draco from him, and that anger, that unyielding rage flooded through his veins. So each day he sorted, he cleaned, and he laughed. When he was beaten he grit his teeth, and he bore it. There was no need to let them see that something was different underneath his mask. For the duration of that 'week' he wasn't very talkative something his cellmate would pick up on. Just a singular determination.

Each night he would go to the Central Tower where Azelf was, and try to bring the others with him that shared the same idea with him. Perhaps if they could all gather around the central tower together they would wake up Azelf. That would work right?

He didn't ask the megalopolans questions he didn't care honestly, the only thing he wanted was to be free so that he could make these people pay. had told him they would do it together, and so he would hold her to those words. His anger didn't subside once, those who might have encountered him during this week would realize how volatile he was. Each time before he went to Azelf he would go back to the spot where he saw his pokemon housed in those strange capsules with the strange fluid surrounding them.

Each time his rage would renew before he went to Azelf.

Each visit his wish, and desire was the same.

"Let me free, I need to be free so I can save Draco, and defeat my enemies....."

The same wish every night for the next week. It was all he desired, and he hoped that the others he had coaxed into this plan. , , and @howard along with anyone else they convinced, he hoped that their wills would not falter either. If the theory was right this was a chance for them to escape.

"Let me free...."

, , ,


k5o6HdKr


TLDR
Main Action - Amor along with all the others he roped into his plan is wishing for Freedom making that his number one desire so that the Tera Crystals will potentially be influenced by their collective wills, and potentially wake up Azelf! I think there are a few others going along with this hairbrained scheme, but outside of the other 3 I am not sure! (Otherwise I'd tag you all here). Here's to hoping we can wake up Azelf with our collective wills.....

Amor is seething with rage the entire week after seeing Draco being captured in Fragmentum Somnio

Amor goes through the monotony of the week doing whatever is required of him to not get punished further so he can conserve his strength, and energy to fight when the time comes.

"Belus...." He gave the wordless command, and then an Imprison would go up, blocking out the move of Teleport, and a myriad of others. It was his way of showing her, that he had been giving her a chance at least for a moment. Still the 'knife' didn't budge as he smiled from behind her. "Less speaking, and more action....You claim that your pokemon are self sufficient, but they barely put up a proper fight....Against my test team....And you want to fight Erebus...." He didn't even try to hide the scoff in his voice. At her mentioning of her being able to snipe him he just smiled.

"Hypotheticals don't matter....Don't be a sore loser....You can 'what if' this, or 'if I' that until the Spearow come home...It doesn't matter because in this scenario, in this moment....You are dead." That was the fact, and finally he would remove the 'knife' that he had held to her back, and if she turned around she'd see that it wasn't a knife at all but a pen. "Or something like that....You speak of your pokemon as tools, as if they are disposable....That's why they're weak....That's why you're weak....I know my pokemon in, and out....They are tools, but they are ones that I have honed, and worked with....Tirelessly...." He turned his back on her, she was no threat to him, and he began to make his way back over to Draco.

"If all you have to offer against me, or the opponents you'll soon face are dull blades....I recommend finding a tall cliff, to save yourself the suffering you'll endure...." Harsh critique, but it was his assessment.

Another pokemon came out, and she was talking an awful lot, she was comfortable. To comfortable for his liking, and so he would snatch that comfort away. A Kirlia came out to attack his Archaludon, and a Frogadier was attempting to snap at his Cinderace. Futile the both of them. As another Mirror Coat would come to reflect the Mystical Fire, and Power Gem back at the Kirlia, and Nihilego. His Archaludon was heavily damaged, but it had served it's purpose. His Cinderace would unleash a Electro Ball would be fired off to counter the Water Gun causing both attacks to collide, and cancel, while his Cinderace's typing would change again.

In the meantime she'd see his Gallade appear.

"You presume escape is an option with me....Belus...." The moment he said the words a large dark purple eyeball would extend around the arena as Mean Look extended around them, and trapped her. Then in a blink he was gone she would find him missing from the side of Draco, and something cold, and pointy would be pressed against the small of her back. At the exact point that if he shoved it in, she'd be paralyzed from the waist down. He had Teleported behind her which she'd be able to piece together easily.

"You shouldn't monologue....In a fight....Ameena...." He'd whisper the advice into her ear tauntingly.

She was right he would send out another, and so an Archaludon would appear, immune to the poison that she had wasted time on setting up.

"That works in theory....." The Dazzling Gleam came, and his Archaludon took to the vanguard, and soaked up the hits with ease. It's steel typing nullifying the crippling weakness that it should have had, and instead it's body began to glow. "But the best laid plans....Can always backfire....Mirror Coat...." Came the cold, and calculated tone as all of the damage that his pokemon had just took would be returned to the sender, but doubled in force. So a roaring beam of light would rush towards the Espartha as the Mirror Coat launched itself back at the creature.

Meanwhile his Cinderace would let loose a Scorching Sands towards her Nihilego. Unfortunately for his opponent that wasn't a new opponent for him, and he had learned it's typing long ago. Amor built his teams with the exclusive purpose of covering any, and all weaknesses that could pop up. With his Cinderace's typing changing into ground, and boosting it's own damage further, he checked out the back of his nails.

"You must've fought some very weak people in the past then...." Or his perception of strength was skewed.

She was right....But he felt like a coward....It felt like running away to leave his dragon to suffer....Objectively, and logically she was right, but he didn't want to admit it. Not when every fiber of his body screamed at him to continue to break the glass to force it to stay shattered so he could free Draco. But he already knew how it would end, it would end in failure. So he took a breath, a deep one.

"Fine...." He spoke through gritted teeth, and turned to look at her. The fury still in his gaze. "You're probably right....I'm not strong enough right now...." He hated admitting that, he hated saying it, and he hated feeling it. That feeling of helplessness that had haunted him all through his life, but it was the truth. "We will do this....Together...." Whatever that meant.

They had a plan, all they had to do was convince enough people to go along with it, but they had to move from this place, he didn't want to leave Draco behind, but there was no choice. He needed information about his enemy. So with one final glance to his dragon, he started to walk. Whether she followed him or not he didn't care at this moment, but he was moving towards the tower in the center. It was the largest structure, and so he may as well see what it contained before he woke from this pristine hellscape.

"My apologies....For my outburst...."

He just smiled at her comment about Erebus. Most people wanted to fight against him, but it was often pointless, Amor had only a select few Pokemon that could spar against the creature, and give it a proper work out, and only one of them could overcome it. Even then it wasn't always a victory, and it was always hard fought.

"There is no point in shooting a Mareep with a cannon....It's a waste of a perfectly good cannonball....Infernum....Counter...." He explained to her, and when the Lumina Crash came his way, his Cinderace sprang into action charging right at the creature which might seem iiresponsible save for the fact that it used Iron Head to meet it head on, and with that it's typing changed to steel thanks to it's Libero ability. Both pokemon would collide with another, but his Cinderace would take far less damage than her bird.

"Tools are only as good as the one who wields them....Knives get dull, but we can sharpen them....Furniture can break, but we can fix it....Once you spend enough time with it....You learn it inside, and out." He explained to her, and so far he was still unimpressed, he would see how she reacted to his first move, and go from there.

Whatever distress he had felt, she would see no trace of it within him today. Not a single hair was out of place, he was wearing his usual tailored black Kalosian suit, and beside him stood his Dragoinite, Draco. A full foot taller than the rest of his kind, and a wingspan to match, an apex. The edges of his lips tugged into a small smile as she called him Professor, the obvious tease.

"I want to see how well you fight....Gauge your strengths, your weaknesses, areas where you need improvement....A Pokemon battle gets hectic far more quickly than you can imagine when you're at war in this particular region....People that can control gravity, throw fireballs, and rend portals at will, are your opponents." Everything she knew before she came here wouldn't help against those things. So he felt he would take it easy on her for their first bout, and he threw a Pokeball into the air, and in front of him stood a Cinderace.

An unconventional pokemon, one that he rarely used, but he had trained it molded it to become a proper warrior, and it would serve well as an opening opponent against whatever she decided to throw at him.

"Are you feeling OK?"

The question felt patronizing to him all of sudden, but she was sincere at the very least which is what was keeping him from lashing out even worse.

"I am irritated....I am furious....OK is not what I would call my current state...." There was no point in lying to her, he took a breath, he needed to calm down. He couldn't save Draco if he got to emotional. "We're not being poisoned....At least not by the crystals....The mochi probably....I'd know if my mental faculties were being affected...." There was a certainty in that statement that might cause others to raise some brows, but he just grit his teeth harder. What were they doing, what was their purpose....Turning his gaze to he could see the worry there at least for a moment.

"Don't look at me like that...." He detested those looks, everyone looked at him like that at least once, and it didn't help him in the slightest. Amor was in full control of his sanity despite appearances, but this was different, they had struck at his core, and there were only to emotions for him to feel. Sorrow, or unyielding rage....Amor was a dragon, so unyielding rage was the answer always.

"I don't expect you to understand....How could you...."

How could anyone....

"I managed to create a facsimile of Regidrago with just four people, and a Tera Shard...." Of course he hadn't divulged his experiment just yet to her things had gotten busy, and then he had been kidnapped, so she wouldn't know. "We don't need everyone, just enough....Anyone else will do, do you understand? Even if it's just one or two more....That will be enough." Because with the data that he had to work with that was the truth that he knew.

As long as everyone had the same collective thought, the same goal then they had a chance, and after his escapade in this dream world with ....Amor wouldn't let this Never-Rot have it's way, and he fully intended on incinerating anything, and anyone that had taken his treasure from him. They would beg for death.

His eyes flashed to her, his mood only souring further, but he recognized that she was trying to calm him down, so he didn't lash out. The damage to his hands vanished without a trace, and he frowned at this dream like place, the pain could have focused him, but it's sudden absence only infuriated him further.

"It doesn't matter if he's asleep....They are doing something to him....And I will not allow that...." His tone was razor sharp, he had foolhardily thought that his pokemon would be back at the manor asleep, that the balls being smashed were fakes, but Amor realized that if he had stepped out of line that Draco could have died, and that only forced his rage to greater heights. They were trying to take his treasure from him, and that would not be allowed.

"I'm aware of our plan....I have been patient...." He clenched his fists tightly until his knuckles were white. Draco had saved him....Over, and over he had been saved by his strongest, and most trusted partner.

Many mistakenly believed that Erebus was his strongest companion, but they would be wrong. Erebus was second to Draco....The faith, and trust that Amor put in his dragon was leagues upon leagues higher than that of Deoxys. To see his dragon like that, he grit his teeth as he seethed even more.

"They better pray....My plan fails....Because I will not leave anything...." Not even the molecules that made up their miserable existence would remain when he was done exacting his vengeance upon them.

"It seems you share the same hypothesis that I do....Your research will be valuable then...." Because for his own ambitions he needed the ability to traverse those dimensions, he needed that ability, and so far the Dream World was the best chance of accomplishing it. So he sipped his tea, and took another bite of his chocolate. She couldn't target the dreams that she wanted to see, which is what made her desire to experiment on him troubling. There were things he preferred no one to know....Things that weren't any of their business, and while he could keep stray thoughts from happening in his waking hours, that didn't mean the discipline extended to when he was asleep.

"I'd like to see your research in action....When you find a willing subject invite me." Was all he said as took another long sip of his tea almost draining the cup, before standing up. "I should get back to work....Breakthroughs don't create themselves...." Not only that but he wanted to nap, his Regidrago wounds still ached, and he felt he had indulged her enough. She could invite him to observe the process, or not, but he would not allow her into his head yet.

"You're free to stick around as long as you don't impede my work....Otherwise I can see you out...." Walking back into the main part of his lab he began to look over the core of the machine that he had destroyed trying to summon his titan....He was thankful was able to salvage it at the very least he could rebuild it easily enough.

Was he the same person?

"A good question...." Like a teacher giving a presentation to a student he smiled sincerely at the man in front of him. "You're right....I'm not the same....I'm stronger now....I have far more knowledge than I did....And I killed the man who took everything from me...." A casual admission, one that now only knew. Amor had never told anyone about the man he had killed until now, and his smile never faded.

He did say that....

"And I meant it....But tell me Howard could you make that call...." Amor's gentle smile receded, and his usual neutral expression came back. "Do you think anyone else could....Let me weave you a tale...." Because the truth was probably far scarier than Howard realized.

"Do you think could do it? Because I don't....If he was faced with the ability to save this universe, and lose everything in the process....He would choose not to because it would erase , and his daughter....I appreciate him for everything he does, but I do sincerely believe if he had to choose, he'd condemn the world to be with the one he loved...." There was no mocking in his voice as he calmly explained his reasoning.

"Do you think could do it? Despite all her torturous self loathing, she's nothing more than a child acting out a tantrum....However even she has a tether...." Or he at least suspected she did. "Do you think she'd throw it all away for a chance to save the world? She'd sooner see it burn just to feel the warmth." That was his assessment at least.

"Personally I like , but I don't think she has the conviction to throw away everyone, and everything she knows to rewrite everything....She's to nice at the end of the day....Like ...." He stopped at those three, but he could keep going.

"Even you Howard have tethers, morals, and ethics that would prevent you from making the objectively correct choice....I don't blame them, or mock them for not being able too....But a God can't be both all-knowing, and all-good....Would you be willing to kill , or Monroe in the womb to prevent Kanto? Sacrifce two for hundreds, thousands, and millions? Because I could....If that were my mission...." And he wouldn't second guess it, there was no longer a need to pretend anymore. He had been restored recently....He knew who he was, and what his mission was.

"I am not burdened because my tether is long gone....But there is a beacon of hope for you Howard....I pray that is every bit the hero, and man you believe him to be....Because that is the last lifeline I will extend to this place....If he fails, then I go back to plan A....And in the end everyone, and everything becomes forfeit."

So I hope you're right....I hope I can be stopped....
