Jaci whirrs to life behind her, humming at a threat Kyrenai has yet to notice. But its subtle cry calls her to attention almost instantly, showing in the momentary faltering of the swinging light. Suddenly the sadows felt that more loaded... as if something was watching her from within.

Her hand clenches, wordlessly signing for the Lunatone to draw closer to her side. Kyrenai's tred ceases as she stares down the cavern; spotting a light as faint as hers in the distance. Her eyes squint at it to make sure it's actually there and not a spell of the eyes. And when her eyes stop peering into the distance she realised too late how much the shadows in front of her had thickened.

She hisses at it almost instinctively, murmuring something underneath her breath. Jaci whirrs again, and moments after the faint glow of her lantern is snuffed out by the blinding light of a Moonblast shot into the darkness before them, aimed at nothing in particular.

The light of the Moonblast illuminates all. Kyrenai's silhouette is visible against the brightness of the beam that flashes past her, and as it travels further down the cave, she sees a similar figure dodge out of its way. Now neither of them are hidden anymore.

And she thanks her instincts when the shadows stir, a Dusknoir going for her Lunatone. "Go!" she orders Jaci before ducking out of the way, making her way furhter down the cave towards where she saw the other person. The Lunatone whirs and takes the Shadow Punch head-on, unleashing a Stone Edge around itself now the Dusknoir is within range.

Neither pokémon looks like it wants to stand down, remaining in each other's personal space and blasting move after move into one another's faces. Jaci hisses as it takes the full burnt of the Payback, effectively getting smacked backwards by its cheer force. The Lunatone doesn't cease however, using the space between them to its advantage to charge another Moonblast at the Dusknoir, if only to keep it at bay. Another hit like that and it's over for the Lunatone... and it's very much aware of this.

On the other side of the cave, Kyrenai is rapidly advancing towards the other woman, unaware of the Sticky Glob tossed at the ground before her feet. When the cave lights up with the flash of Jaci's Moonblast -one that doesn't reach them this time around- the assassin can make out her foe; a young woman with equally fiery hair. Her face cracks into a grin, knowing she has the woman cornered.

And then the Sticky Glob does its work. The rocky underground's too soft for the cave, and as she realises it's already too late; the adhesive has her left leg stuck to the ground. What follows is a dangerous growl as Kyrenai tries to free her leg, but it doesn't budge much. Her eyes flick back to the woman in front of her, her hand resting on one of the knives strapped to her thigh. "Well played, little girl... but that won't stop me for long." she says, her eyes shooting fire.

Jaci stood no chance against the effectiveness of Polyphemus' Shadow Sneak, no matter how hard it tried. The Lunatone tried to resist, but eventually buckled and collapsed with a whimpering cry to the ghost-type's power. It's defeat echoed through the cave, reaching the assassin's ears moments after its demise.

She gritted her teeth, yet when the young woman called forth her Salazzle and threatened her, Kyrenai's nostrils flared. "You... dare-" her voice dropped low. And then everything went fast. Rather than her knife, she tapped her belt, a pokéball dropping to the floor and releasing the imposing figure of her Tyranitar right beside her. As the silhouette grew Kyrenai latched on, allowing Vex' strenght to free her from the adhessive keeping her from moving. The moment she felt her leg pulled loose she let go, allowing the Tyranitar its momentum. Despite its size it moved nimbly, flowing with the rage of its trainer it lashed out, striking the Salazzle with a full-powered Giga Impact to shut it up.

Kyrenai flew past her partner and stepped into the younger woman's personal space, forcing her against the rocky wall, hand stretched out towards her throat. When she spoke her voice dipped low, a hot whisper laced with threats and fire. "You're lucky I'm in a good mood right now, little girl," her face was mere inches away from Ruby's, piercing eyes set on her victim. "Tell your pokémon to stand down. Now. Or else..."

Another tap, and her Hydreigon appeared behind her, slamming down three sets of teeth on the Dusknoir's hands and Bind with a vicious Crunch. Her Tyranitar seemed to struggle more with the opposing Salazzle's Attract, but it needed the time to collect its bearings after the Giga Impact it had dealt. All Vex had to do was keep its head in the clear and fight the Salazzle's pheromones; luckily the ruthless training she and Vex had undergone together seemed to pay off, as it was actively fighting the Attract, not willing to succumb to it.

With her two most trusted pokémon backing her, Kyrenai's focus did not have to waver from the redhead stuck in her grasp. The young woman was putting up a valiant fight, and her bold bravado was commendable, albeit foolish. Then again, she could not fault her for not knowing whom exactly she was dealing with. Kyrenai's grip tightened around the girl's throat, slowly squeezing out her air supply-- enough to make breathing a struggle, but not impossible.

"Because I'm asking nicely?" she purrs, closing in to whisper in her ear. "And I wouldn't want to cut that pretty skin of yours," Cold steel now brushes against Ruby's throat, the pointed edge of a dagger making itself known. It's sharp enough to draw blood with a mere push, but the assassin wields them masterfully, keeping them from doing so. "So, stand. Down. Don't make me repeat myself a third time, sweetheart. My patience has its limits."
