he's definitely going to work on shutting this place down as soon as they get out of here.

eyeing the two mightyena he now has, he's pretty much convinced that he's maybe fucked up and should look for things to fix it up. while the two identical dogs start playfighting with each other, kyle veers his sights elsewhere, only to find that there are people who did something else worse entirely.

"shit," he whispers underneath his breath.

knowing that his pokemon would most likely investigate the dark mist instead of playing safe, he quickly scoops up one of his mightyena to stop them from fighting, then grabs the egg with the other and rushes up the door where everyone else was. he drops the mightyena on the ground roughly before joining everyone else in their guesswork.

as soon as they both land on all fours, both the mightyena start to bark in an effort to intimidate the mist, for whatever reason. one attempts to read the move if the intangible object, ready to go me first, while the other readies to snatch up whatever it does, both of them assuming it's a pokemon.

the noise was distracting more than anything else, but it's ignored for the sake of fixing things up.

"everything we found is anderson related. it's got to be related to his kid."

joining everyone else, he types in any variation of the lame of the head ranger. 'larsanderson', 'laurenceanderson', 'larsipoo', 'larsticuno', and such.

the marks continue to spread to the panel as he attempts to type in the password, which is also ignored for the sake of more important things, such as actually getting a password to work.

As Oscar stared deeper into the eyes of the creature, he lost track of what happened around him. Time seemed to stand still as the rolling pupils of 'Seismo' became increasingly frantic. As its body took on a more gaseous form, Oscar at first thought he was just loosing his mind. And then he breathed it in.

Oscar's head jolted upward, the oppressive smoke forcing its way through his body. He hacked harshly, and each spasm of his body forced incomprehensible images through his mind. He has enough sense only to withdraw the coughing Alice back into her ball before fall onto his hands and knees. Noise seeped through his ears, a mess of gibberish that Oscar couldn't hope to understand. It was like being surrounded by a crowd and being unable to speak their language. Oscar felt overwhelmed, he wanted to scream but all that came out was a horrible wheeze. The smoke was smothering him.

Yet through the chattering, a word was spoken quite clearly. Oscar lurched, he swore he understood what the word was but it went by so fast he didn't comprehend it in time. Strange symbols began to spontaneously appear through out the air, blue circles with dots in the center; rudimentary eyes. Always with the fuckin' eyes. Was he imagining them? Were they really appearing? While Oscar tried to understand, he would hear the word again. This time it was even clearer.

"Follow..."

Blinking through stinging tears, Oscar looked around frantically--follow what? After a moment he realized that the symbols weren't appearing all over, they were specifically heading toward and up the stairs. Oscar forced himself forward, crawling like a dying animal through the Endless. He grunted loudly as he forced his way forward, shaking away images and voices as he desperately tried to reach the stairs. Against all odds he made it, and used what little strength left remained in his body to pull himself upward. As soon as his head broke through the Endless, he would be overcome by fresh air--well, fresh-ish. Strength seeped back into his body, allowing Oscar to rise to his feet and run to the second floor.

Upon reaching the second floor, Oscar would fall again. He continued to cough, his body forcing out the toxins that remained. He no longer saw the symbols or heard the voices--was that the creature's doing? Did the creature--guide him to safety? Why? Never mind that, the smoke was rising so they needed to get the fuck out of here fast. Oscar shakily rose and hobbled toward whatever the rest of his companions were looking over.

On his way he released Alice once more so that she could get some fresh air. Oscar walked past the Weavile loudly coughed on the ground. Alice was tough though, and upon stabilizing she would look toward the stairwell. That thing wasn't gonna stop, so she felt obligated to help keep it at bay. She joined in with her fellow pokemon, attempting to deliver Revenge upon their toxic assailant.

Oscar pushed his way to the front to get a clear view of what they were looking at. Through his bloodshot eyes he saw the 'Enter Password' and nearly threw up. 

"You gotta be shitting me, have we not been through enough!? Fuck off." Oscar thought for a moment, wheezing as his lungs tried to recover. He offered up a suggestion. "It could literally be anything, but these holier than though cult types tend to be pretentious so um--I dunno try Panacea."

The legendary Cure All created by ancient alchemists. In Oscar's mind these chemist-cultist nerds would totally think that would be a solid password.

Yielding a Mountain of Curious Answers

BLACK ROUTE

The cloud of Endless boils outwards, a dark cloud bulging with blinking eyes. It consumes the bottom floor, flowing over and pulling him inside as and escape upstairs. The pair join and .  The group make for the only exit, and the only way onwards: the Sealed Door.

In his rush to the door, spills a bottle of orange juice, forgotten and overgrown with mold. It splatters the floor in faded yellows and still living greens.

The four of them crowd around the door, entering password after desperate password.

>Enter_Passsword:
>'Arceus1'
>Incorrect_password_entered!
>Enter_Password:_


While a good guess for the outdated desktop at most of the churches across Sinnoh, the setup here has little to do with the church it is hiding underneath.

>'1234'
>Incorrect_password_entered!
>Enter_Password:_
>'Password'
>Incorrect_password_entered!

>Enter_Password:_


, having clearly spent time around real people, knows that often the dumbest and laziest solution is the correct one. Unfortunately, in this case the security is a little tighter.

steps up to the keyboard next.

>'larsanderson'

>Incorrect_password_entered!

>Enter_Password:_

>'laurenceanderson '

>Incorrect_password_entered!

>Enter_Password:_
>'larsipoo'

>Incorrect_password_entered!

>Enter_Password:_

>'larsticuno'

>Incorrect_password_entered!

>Enter_Password:_
>'such'

>Incorrect_password_entered!

>Enter_Password:_


It is a valiant attempt, and would have definitely cracked 's email, but this lab is surprisingly unrelated to the Father.

The bubbling Endless crests the stairs, slithering along the tiles and towards the group of hackers. It consumes the spilled juice with a virulent hiss, and a layer of moldering eyes peel open across the surface of the living liquid. 

Suddenly, emerges, coughing, from the cloud. He staggers to the door and slams in a password.

>'Panacea'

>Correct_password_entered!

>Opening_door_to_growth_lab.

The door opens with a pneumatic hiss of releasing air, and everyone rushes through into a laboratory filled with cylindrical growth tanks.

There are rows of partially formed creature, which sit in suspended animation, their creation paused when the experiment was halted some years ago. Between the tanks are jars of Pokeballs floating in formaldehyde, the results of previous growth experiments.

In the center of the room surrounded by the rows of tanks, is a low circle inset into the tiles. It has grooves where something low and thick-legged might be inset, and a lectern stands to the side. 

The door closes behind them, sealing them into a room of thick, chemical air. The Endless hits the door with an audible weight. It surges, looking for a way through.

Fight. Escape. Or be Consumed.

Your Macabre Conclusion Arrives

CS9THE ENDOO0

The story ends here.

Not what was promised, but what was possible. In the end, that will have to be enough.

Red Route
Your beast was trapped in the very earth itself. Sealed, but ever watching. Waiting for a chance to escape.

Black Route
Your beast was deconstructed. Torn by light and blood and alchemy and reduced to its components: Unown, Rare Candies, Devolution Stones. You return to the outside world richer.

: You have felt the power of an 'angel', and are forever changed.

& : You will carry the taint of Endless with you always.

: As the egg hatched in your care, the new Anderson baby is yours by right. Raise him well.

: As the nearest woman, you are the mother. Following the raid Bill married you by Dark Rite using the sacrifices you made at the altar. The pact is sealed.

White Route
Your beast was absorbed. Drawn into the books of the archive, and split into a thousand slivers of being. You all return with knowledge of something greater than yourselves. You can each take a book containing a sliver of the beast. The book may communicate to you, in its own way.

& & : You keep your weapons. They retain their light.

: You are forever bonded to Pangur. You get the cat.

S5wKUDOS2k

In the days and weeks following the raid, you will each find a shard of something in an unexpected place.

It might be delivered in the mail. You might find it on the street, or in the pocket of your coat on a cold day.

It might be wrapped, sitting on your nightstand one morning.

These shards are from the Arceus plates, and their appearance is proof of his existence.

Black Route: You find shards of the TOXIC PLATE.
White Route: You find shards of the PIXIE PLATE.
Red Route: You find shards of the DREAD PLATE.

: Your points, as well as your hard work in codebreaking, have been rewarded. You also find a second shard, as smooth as dragon scale.

The DRACO PLATE.
