The stars we see may already be dead.

Extinguished.

Vaporized, even.

"If light shows the past, then we must look to the future," Bill said, leading them all to the elevator. The floor inside was covered in some thing black clothing, perhaps discarded by some previous occupant. 

Through the lobby and out onto the cold grass, heading up the hill towards the second, less public observatory. Slick blades crunched underfoot as they found the path.
"Twenty-three years ago, the Mossdeep Observatory's Noctowl#1 produced its first Luminance Field map. On their own they are quite beautiful, casting webs of light to show something stunning. A snapshot of what was hidden in the deep darkness."

"Two years later, this project bore real fruit. A map that didn't just show some dark star, crumbling asteroid, or lost expanse, but God."

theo's a fish out of water, clearly out of his element when it comes to things like noctowl#1 and deep cosmos. the latter sounds like a cologne fragrance, but he keeps his thoughts to himself as they make their way over to another observatory.

but as bill explains, he thinks it best to ask for his own sake.

It didn’t matter to Lulu if the stars were dead or not. Time could be touched, and therefor manipulated. This was proven by Dialga, and Lulu aimed to one day somehow hack into such a power. Anything that had ever been something was obtainable, she reasoned, if one could just pinpoint its ‘location’ in existence.

All she wanted was to see it. Seeing was believing. Real motivation.

Lulu listened quietly, until ’s question.

“He means Arceus.”

Her eyes lingered upwards on the stars. Hopefully she didn’t trip. That would be embarrassing. At least she'd taken her heels off, dangling in her hands by their straps as she walked barefoot.

Nestled comfortably in the crook of her Lunatone, swaddled again in piles of lace and black ruffles, Chryssa floated along with the others towards the Mossdeep Observation Center. 

"Luminance Field Map," the girl echoed, legs dangling from the lip of the red-eyed crescent. She sat up a little straighter. "How does that turn into God, Father?" Her eyes narrowed appraisingly. "One moment stars and webs of light..." 

A memory of the image the Beheeyem had woven for her and crossed her mind. 

"The next..."

She tried to picture it. The form she'd seen on stained-glass windows, the Wheel which had cast shadow over her her whole life. She pictured a starmap tracing his outline, his face, the outer reaches of his cruelty.

"...Will we see him too?" Chryssa abruptly asked, her tone level. Her voice was curiously flat. 

She didn't need to see to believe.

And I believe there's nothing to see.

Lunatone drifted on, bearing her onwards like a ship in still waters.

Fresh off the heels of his meeting with , Killian's following the trail of a haughty Espeon. "Loveless, we have to get back to Lex." she couldn't be happy with him right now. Only a second, he'd told her. [break][break]

"So much for that."[break][break]

Killian sighed. He'd make it up to somehow - a back rub or expensive bottle of whiskey outta smooth things over. [break][break]

Oddly, despite being concerned, Killian's voice lacked any sense of urgency. In fact, he couldn't look or sound any calmer as he strides up the hill to the observatory. [break][break]

Loveless greeted the other Rockets atop the hill before him. "Prrrr." she mewed, her lavender spheres scanned their faces. They lingered knowingly on the disguised and before drifting to . [break][break]

They needed her.[break][break]

Killian stepped up behind her adjusting his tie, "Loveless, seriously we don't have time for - " he paused and stared at those gathered. "She done it again, hasn't she?." what a crafty cat. Always guiding him to where he needed to be. [break][break]

"What are you guys up to?"

The stars we see may already be dead.

Extinguished.

Vaporized, even.

"We're here looking for Arceus," Bill said, as Killian and his Espeon joined them on the walk up the hill.

Chryssa floated along, nestled in her Lunatone. The lights on Bill's Beheeyem blinked slowly, coloring the cream crescent in flashes of deep emerald, Martian red, and solar yellow.
"Light is nothing more than energy," Bill explained, "and what has more energy that the being that created the universe?"

"In classical imagery, gods and rulers are always depicted backed by flashes of light. It's evocative imagery, but also meant to show their power." 
They reached the observatory proper, a squat, compact building with a rounded dome top that had been closed to conceal the telescope within. "In this case, it's literal. The original Luminance Field map showed a concentrated point of illumination so powerful that it was unexplainable by any other means."


Bill looked around at his associates. "Now, who has a key?"

"ah."

just another day, really.

he greets with nothing more than a nod as he joins them, and not long after that, they arrive at the observatory.

at 's question, theo can't help but chuckle softly.

"surely five of rocket's finest would have no issues with a lock."

despite his words, he doesn't take a step forward.

’s thoughtful echo also put the image in her head; shapes in specked light through a shattered screen. She wondered, for the first time, if maybe the pattern might line up with the reaction from the experiment and she had performed with their own Beheeyem.

And, speak of the devil (not really, she honestly didn’t dislike him that much), Decker walked through the door and joined the party, led by a troublesome Espeon she knew too well from too little time. There was respect, but also resentment. To be fair, one could not often come without the other for Lulu.

She acknowledged him with a tone tipping barely warmer over neutrality, but it was a step, right?

“Decker.”

His question was shortly and presumably better answered by , and Lulu took a backseat, listening intently. She was unfamiliar with religion, equally as much as lore. She’d been captivated by ’s explanations of Darkrai, even. This was no different. She was absorbed by charisma, and an unfamiliar wealth of ideas.

And then, was asking for a key. Typically, Lulu had an abundance with the constant presence of Klefki in her coat—but not this evening. Reaching around, she realized.

“Oh. I didn’t have anywhere to put my balls.”

Her form turned to black and shrunk underneath the door to unlock it for them from the other side.

"Has anyone tried to go in?" Chryssa asked, kicking her legs like a child in a booster seat as everyone patted down their pockets for a conveniently missing skeleton key. "In my experience, people don't actually lock things nearly as often as they should." They fell back on social norms, assuming that ordinary people wouldn't go into a door marked 'Employees Only' or brazenly walk into a public facility after hours.  "They simply expect nothing will happen."

Chryssa floated forward.

"Until it does."

The door clicked open.

Brows raised, Chryssa glanced back at the others, face radiant with triumph. Her hand, hovering over the doorknob, settled like a dove returning to its nest.

She twisted. It opened.

Chryssa hadn't seen 's shadow sliding through the cracks in the darkness. In that moment it merely seemed like providence, another coincidence perfectly lining up to place the three, no, four of them in the same place at the same time. 

Was this part of Arceus' plan?

How can I believe that, when we're searching for his light?

"Your voice sounds... familiar," the girl said to as the door to the observatory swung open. Chryssa's Lunatone drifted to the side, making way for her companions to proceed ahead of her. "Mr. Decker, was it?" The others seemed to know him.

Her eyes were large, misty. She gave him a wide-lipped smile, curved like a crescent moon. "You can join us, if you want."

The doorway beckoned, promising futures unknown.

Arceus? Killian's dark brows arched curiously at . Why were they looking for god at a space center? Wait - if he recalled, Lulu mentioned something more existing beyond the stars than Deoxys. [break][break]

She couldn't have meant this, could she? [break][break]

The admin's gaze drifted to the scientist to ask as she sank into the shadows. He'd seen such feats a few times already, but it never failed to unnerve him. Until now. The usual chill down the back of his spine was oddly absent in the face of her powers. [break][break]

"Hm?" [break][break]

His name on 's tongue snapped his head to her. "Killian, please. I loathe that surname bullshit with passion. Yet everyone seems to forget or not care." a blatant dig at and . Thankfully, seemed willing to respect that choice. They had their issue, but he'd give the underboss that much. [break][break]

"But yes, we worked together during the Fortree Excursion." Killian add with a smile. So much transpired since then that it felt like years and not months ago. [break][break]

Loveless headed through the open doors, and where she went, Killian followed. [break][break]

"So, you honestly expect to find Arceus up in the sky?"

has anyone tried to go in?

Bill's eyes gleamed as Lulu dropped into the puddle of shadow, only to reappear on the other side of the door. He'd heard about her abilities, but this was the first he'd seen of them. 

Outstanding.

Inside was cramped, with displays, hard drives, precision equipment, and stacks of paper all settled neatly like pieces of chrome and plastic Tetris. 'Space-conscious', Abigail had called it. 

"Where else would he be?" Bill asked Killian. The Councilman took point, leading them through the stacks. "If he was here on Earth we'd have seen him by now." 

Bill lead them through familiar hallways to a room that was nothing but monitors and thick, gray and green cabling. The displays covered almost every inch of wall, giving the feeling that one was standing in a bathysphere, with black water pressing in on all sides.  

"This connects to the satellite relay," Bill said. "At least it did. Once we start this up it will collaborate all current satellite interferometers and display a Luminance Field map of a single point in space."

He walked over to a patch of wall with a small panel for inputting galactic coordinates. He typed in the Right Ascension and the Declination, and waited.

the dig from passes right over his head, perhaps only aiding in his point of of people 'not caring'.

"the same argument could be said for other legendaries."

thought to be myth and fiction until proven otherwise, the likes of and only meant there are more out there.

"maybe all he needs is a little time."

but he follows regardless, patient as he watches input galactic coordinates.

She hadn’t before shown Chryssa her powers, nor Father Bill —but in her excitement, she also hadn’t really cared much. What stopped Lulu from doing anything anymore, honestly? She ran on pure impulse.

Lulu’s stare passed over Decker dully. Was he saying something?

Oh. He and Chryssa knew each other. From the Fortree Excursion, apparently. Interesting… why did this girl know so many Rockets?

Her attention was quickly stolen by science, and she watched with sparkling eyes as Bill explained.

“I'm impressed, Father.”

Then, to Theo’s sentiment, she added, “Or a little encouragement.”

Her smirk was barely there, but dastardly.

Killian. Fortree Excursion.

Yes, she remembered now.

The other Rocket members had just been disembodied voices to her at the time. Inferences on radio waves. Snippets of instructions, reports, delayed action and reaction.

It had been strange, to have so much forewarning for the blaze which threatened to destroy the treetop city, yet no such warning for herself. What would happen in the woods when she finally entered, searching for her wounded Zorua. The remnant of Arceus—or symbol of his will—she would find.

"I don't expect we'll find anything Arceus doesn't want us to," Chryssa said as they entered the dark building. Her words rang back to her, hollow from the empty interior. "It's difficult to sneak up on something omnipotent."

If they did see him, what would it mean? A challenge? A surrender?

Or a sign, truly, that their God had left this world for good?

Slipping from her Lunatone's embrace, Chryssa found herself drawn to Father Bill's elbow. She stood beside him, quietly but raptly watching the movements of his fingers as he entered in the deep space coordinates.  

Her eyes were sharp, but she spoke smoothly. Easily.

"Remember, Father, the light we see is from eons ago. To see the truth—the present—we have to look forward." Chasing something so much faster than they were would yield nothing—but if they could predict where it would be, they could cut it off before it could escape.

Before he could escape.

Above, the massive telescope began to move.

"Not being on Earth doesn't mean he's in space either." Killian interjected, "The Megalopolans prove that other dimensions exist. Who's to say he's not residing in one of them?" The others might not have considered it, but surely had. With her interest in the extradimensional invaders, the thought must have crossed her mind. [break][break]

While her trainer argued the location of god, a force tugged at Loveless's sixth sense. Ethereal and abstract, it gripped her mind in a tight, familiar embrace. Yes, she knew these hands well. They belonged to fate. She didn't fight as they beckoned her forward. [break][break]

Eyes glowing, the feline turned to face Killian and floated into the air. [break][break]

"Huh? Loveless - " [break][break]

Loveless drifted toward him until her forehead pressed against his own. Silence captured Killian's tongue as Espeon expanded her powers into his mind. A difficult task given the taint left behind by 's insidious mist, but she managed. Communicating not with words but feelings what she desired. [break][break]

"I understand." [break][break]

The admin stepped back, and Loveless spun back around to face the others. "Stand back, she wants to try something, and it might be dangerous." they could listen or not. It didn't matter to Killian. With a deep breath and nod, he focused on his bond with Loveless. [break][break]

"Oracle Fracture."
[break]



Espeon drew power from their connection. She siphoned more strength than she could channel on her own to perceive the branches of time—a kaleidoscope of potentialities. Loveless saw all that the future and its many possibilities offered. Somewhere inside slept the answer, the truth. Loveless need only sift through the noise to find it.

notes about this post


Loveless used her Z-Move:[break][break]

Oracle Fracture.[break]
Espeon expands its powers to gaze into the target's future and unleash a psionic blast that ripples backward along their timeline to deal damage. this attack causes MIRACLE EYE.
