War waits for no man.
But he'll steal stars and time to lean into
his skyler dross with a confident curl of his lips.
“
Well then. Don't let me keep you.” His bloodied, slightly shaking hand squeezes hers before they splinter apart. “
Go shove that staff of hers where the sun don’t fuckin’ shine, sunshine.”
Latias is the one to pull Angelo away, alerting him through their psychic link with a jolt of shock and apprehension.
Slipping off her back, stained fingers unconsciously grip pearly down.
For stepping out of the water is not just a mirror image. It’s also the missing half of a whole.
Blue, not red. Alive. Latios.
"This one's sister perished a long time ago... I'll take care of yours to make it fair."
Angelo's lip curls in a sneer.
This greedy asshole.“
That's real generous of you but, see…” His thumb is jabbed over his shoulder, directed towards where
skyler dross splashes around after her counterpart. “
I've actually just been banned from taking multiple stabbings in a day. Don't want to piss off the wife more in one sitting. Y'know how it is…” Probably not.
A shrug is thrown, mockingly exasperated, as his counterpart raises a brow.
“
So, I'm not going anywhere. And Latias ain't, either.”
“That so? Wanna make things interesting and bet on it?”
A bark of laughter rips from Angelo's throat, flash of teeth anything but kind. “
Don't need to.”
His mirror image steps forward as Latios’s arms tuck into his body, preparing for flight…
Latias, he thinks.
We'll be fine. Just get away for now. With a chirp of affirmation, Latias suddenly launches herself higher into the skies. Her dash of red shadowed by a blue blur as Latios makes to chase her down.
Through the open air the Eon duo commence in a test of speed and finesse, weaving around stray
ORIGIN PULSES and other attacks that pierce into the heavens.
But no matter how fast she soars, how many sharp banks and agile manoeuvres she takes, Latios is her equal in stealth. And her superior in strength.
She can’t outrun him forever.
The same could be said for her trusted human companion.
Oceanic Angelo lunges after him, blades of water putting the pilot on the backfoot as he stumbles and narrowly dodges. Fatigue slowing him down.
Magically sutured wounds did not account for the loss of blood, it seemed.
Alert, blue eyes flicker towards a flash of ruby in the clouds before his hand reaches down to his belt, Dragapult long recalled, to toss a pokeball in his alternative's direction.
Sea!Angelo tenses, ready to slash it out of the air. Only for the sphere to awkwardly sail right over his head in a blundered pitch that goes too long.
“Nice aim, dickhead.”
“
Oh, fuck off.”
In the sky, a
LUSTER PURGE brushes dangerously close to Latias, forcing her to take a sudden dive, her descent leading her towards a familiar ally locked in its own battle.
Latios follows stubbornly in her wake as she races towards the clash that erupts between
Raziel Beckett 's Reshiram and Volcanion.
Closer. Closer still. Until she can feel the heat on her feathers.
With but a hairbreadth to spare, she pulls up into a sharp incline, disappearing in breakneck speed as
TAILWIND envelops her. Leaving her ‘twin’ to swerve off kilter, close to Volcanion.
Latios attempts to dodge and continue the chase, only for his advance to come to a violent halt.
Black, ghostly tendrils lash from the earth to wrap around his wings and neck tight, too fast for the dragon to avoid.
Angelo's misplaced aim not quite so accidental, after all.
Aided by
TAILWIND gales, Decidueye’s
SPIRIT SHACKLE snatches out to bind the Eon pokemon and Volcanion both. Latios falling into the sand with a furious shriek…
Forced backwards, the pilot staggers as a slash of water catches his brow and then his shoulder, red beading. Another step sees his spine colliding into a familiar - and thankfully friendly - face.
Raziel Beckett .
Blue eyes widen as he bumps into the ranger awkwardly, catching himself on his friend lest his shaken legs give up on him. Up above, the executioner blade rises.
“
Razz! Ah, shit – Right on time!” Out of breath, his hands scramble, relieving the young man of his possessions without approval.
The stick is a blur as it smacks with a solid
CRACK against his counterpart, only for water to quiver in the Hoennian sun upon impact.
Angelo doesn’t have time to exhale before his borrowed
STUN BATON lights up, electric flying like a house owned by an overenthusiastic decorator during the Christmas season.
ZZZzzZZZZzzZZPPP!!!!
