Post-Dormitum: BATTLE Vs. Xenon Antheil

"Well, I dunno if organs can be regenerated." He had never really stress tested things before. "And ya already have an actual immortal in Rocket if ya need a lab rat, ya know."

He probably should've guessed from the moment she started cutting off his fingers, but this chick was crazy and not in a(n entirely) hot way. It was probably about time he dropped the banter, before she really took out his eyeballs.

"My what?" He asked, snorting. "'fraid to tell ya, you've got the roles backwards here, lady."

If Tapu Lele really cared that much, would the Xenon really've had the freedom to play surgeon with the legendary's avatar?

Then again, that in itself spoke to just how apathetic Doug had become, that it took this much danger to get his brain going.

"Anyway, lady. I can't say it hasn't been fun –My endorphins are going crazy right now— but we'll have to continue some other time." He said. "By the way, you have very soft hands. 'pologies in advance."

He was, of course, specifically referring to the one she was using to hold down his own hand with. The one he had just pumped with scales.

doug can use tapu lele’s ability to spread magical healing scales for himself, others, and pokemon. overexposure to these scales can temporarily OVERHEAL a target, applying the CURSE effect which deals increased damage over time.

The youth's hand suddenly tightened into a lover's handhold around the woman's hand, attempting to prevent retreat. "If it's any consolation, the tumors go away on their own after a while. Hyoop!"

Doug huffed as he suddenly lurched up, the knife's edge digging slightly against his neck as he suddenly threw his free arm around the rocket lady and attempted to use their conjoined hands as a pivot, trying to roll her underneath him.

It seemed like the fun times were over for Xenon as a horrible pain stabs into the hand she was using to hold down Douglas, she tries to jerk away the appendage instinctively with a hiss of agonized fury, but the soldier clenches down tight as he uses the brief lapse in attention to flip her over and get on top.
[break][break]
She doesn't just take this lying down of course, she has a knife pressed right to his throat after all, so it's easy enough to cut into his jugular and let loose a fountain of blood all over her as cold steel bites into flesh with a vengeance. But she doesn't just stop with a single cut, rapidly she starts sawing away at the regenerating flesh, burying the blade deeper and deeper into his neck without any sign of stopping. Even as the skin and muscles regenerate around the knife, still she keeps on cutting away until she's gone so deep in that the metal is completely buried inside his healed up neck, almost like she had stabbed it right into the side of his esophagus. "Let go you fucking primitive, before I fully cut off your head just to find out which half regenerates!"

Post-Dormitum: BATTLE Vs. Xenon Antheil

Unfortunately, Doug wasn't immune to pain, so he caught the woman's stabbing wrist a couple of swings into her several stabs, unable to come up with any clever barbs with his mouthful of blood, looking somewhat sick.

"Grk..." He gargled, looking very nauseous and agonized with a knife trapped inside his throat. How the hell was he supposed to—

RIP—

Without much warning for either of them, a psychic force tore the knife out, leaving the youth to fall back grasping at his throat silently as his blood rained everywhere.

If only his powers had come with pain tolerance built in.

Fortunately, this time, he didn't have to rely on his own often spotty powers to take care of the damage. His matron hovered nearby with a hum, her arms hanging off as she seemingly reclined in the air, tilting her head as she stared at the psychopath before her avatar.

For his part, Doug finished spitting all the extra blood gathered in his throat before reclining against a rocky wall, sighing. This was what he got for playing with crazy. Only now did he understand the hot to crazy scale.

"Lady, are you a psycho?!" He snapped while rubbing his neck, slowly standing up... and producing a set of handcuffs from under his jacket.

For her part, Tapu Lele seemed content to observe Xenon with a wide open, blank gaze. Tapu Lele seemed interested but unwilling to do much more; Doug, on the other hand...

There is a saying that Xenon likes to say, mainly because she just invented it right now for this specific situation. Nothing in this world is immune to pain, no matter how immortal or legendary they may be. This saying proves very true as she exercises her full abilities in the modern skill of torture, only stopped by the intervention of a god as Doug finally backs off of her and the knife is ripped out of her hand.
[break][break]
She has mere moments to react to this brief lull in combat, she could try and take advantage of the man's weakened state and try to take him down from the knees, she could run away to regroup with Argon and start the battle anew on equal terms, she could-
[break][break]
No, the only real option here is to run as fast as she can. She's not beating a Legendary Pokemon today, she doesn't have the time, the knowledge, the resources, nothing. Her hand digs into the dirt and throws the dust and debris right at the soldier's face as she scrambles to her feet and runs in the opposite direction, scooping up a knocked out Argon under her arm and running straight for the portal she had been set to guard this entire time. Crazy she may be, she wasn't totally brainless. Only a truly sick psycho would chase a Rocket grunt straight into a portal into an alternate dimension they knew nothing about.

Post-Dormitum: BATTLE Vs. Xenon Antheil

Tapu Lele broke down laughing as Doug sputtered, the dirt hitting him squarely on the face, gagging on his still sore throat while the enemy sprinted away.

Unwilling to do anything, the pink deity simply wheezed and pointed as her charge immediately tried to give chase despite all the dirt in his eye, only to slip and face plant on his own blood, splashing his uniform.

There was a moment of silence as he fisted the bloody dirt under his fingernails before releasing a frustrated scream, picking himself up and glaring through irritable red eyes at the damn portal where his charge had escaped.

"Damn it, what is it with today?!!" Roared the youth furiously as he pounded the dirt, scowl deep as he scrambled to his feet to give reckless chase— before getting unceremoniously side checked by his patron.

"Oof!" He wheezed as he hit the wall, before scowling at his matron. "What now?!"

It was one thing for her to not help— it was another entirely for her to actively hinder him.

But Tapu Lele simply shook her head at him, before casually slipping back into his tattered coat, leaving him scowling at nothing in mild confusion.

"The hell did that mean...?" He muttered with a frown as he turned his gaze towards portal once again. Already, his temper at getting his throat used like a pin cushion was fading away, the only remains of it exacerbated by the soreness in his throat.

"... Bah, whatever." He grumbled, slowly reaching into his cape to produce a meteor fragment. "If that's all she's got... lady's out of her depths."

Approaching the portal, the youth crushed the meteor fragment, causing red crystal to rapidly swallow whole the portal, preventing the lady from ever returning back to their side from this path.

"If she really thinks she's better off now, well... must've failed her insight check." He finished with a shrug.

Tapu Lele hadn't broken her joints like a puppet's, so she must have liked her.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire for her.
