Oscar really screwed the pooch on this one. Not only did he fail to save Remiel's Golurk, but his intervention had started a cave in! Hopefully this was not an indication of how the rest of the Ultra Deep Sea campaign would go--you know, if he makes it out of here alive. As Oscar pulled Genesect away from the collapsing Golurk, it seemed as though his time would already be up. Genesect was too heavy and the Golurk was falling quickly, Oscar had exactly one second before he became a pancake.

There was a red flash, and Oscar flinched. He at first thought that he had died then and there, but after a moment he realized that Remiel had withdrawn his destroyed Golurk into its ball. Oscar locked eyes with Remiel, and although the former admin could not see it Oscar's expression was one of immense regret. Yet Remy's nod put him at ease, reminding Oscar that there were no hard feelings. Oscar nodded back, reflecting the assurance of his secret ally.

Genesect managed to get to its feet, transforming into its hover form as rocks fell from the ceiling. Oscar hopped on, turning his back on Remiel as he summoned Zekrom. Oscar's first instinct was to save Nomi from harm, but as Genesect flew upward he would find his fellow scientist would already be gone. A desperate whirl of glances eventually would lead Oscar's gaze to the remains of the cliff from which they entered this dreadful chamber. Nomi had made it back to their starting position, and Oscar would sigh with relief.

However, it would seem Remiel desired just a smidge of payback for his Golurk. Oscar and Genesect were moments from landing, when an unseen lightning bolt would strike them from behind. Genesect had taken the brunt of the hit, but Oscar still receive a painful jolt as the duo crash landed onto the cliff. Oscar's vision had gone white, a dreadful ringing cancelling out all other sounds. His senses slowly returned to him, first with the smell of ozone followed by his vision. Everything was blurry at first, but after a few seconds a charred Genesect would come into focus.

Oscar slowly turned over, reaching out toward his cybernetic champion. His outstretched fingers began to tense up, shaking as the idea of Genesect dying filled him with an unbridled rage. Luckily Genesect was tougher than the average pokemon, and quickly displayed life by twitching into its true form. Oscar let out a noise that seemed to be the mix of a sigh and a groan, slowly getting to his feet as Genesect struggled to sit up. Oscar pulled out its pokeball and withdrew it, "That'll do bug--that'll do."

Oscar put the ball on his belt, remembering only then that the chamber behind him was collapsing. Every muscle in his body ached, but he would not let that stop him from pressing forward.

"Fuck this let's go."
