When Adrian comes to, he can see the drowned blue pigment of their skin, the terrible shape of their filed teeth chattering and gnashing as they observe. As soon as he might've tried to retaliate, they are all of them bound in the grasping clutches of NIHILEGO. Their touch leaves him NAUSEOUS, and it calls to mind Yveltal's own moment of weakness, subjugate to one of these creature's bile... Could the same happen to him?[break][break]

His eyes search around, seeing their machines and contraptions, the posters lining the walls—the musty stench of the mire trickling down deep reaching roots. TERA CRYSTALS cast an aura of light upon them, and in that deep place their voices echo, alien and hostile. Struggling against the Nihilego's grasp over him, Adrian hopes to free himself.[break][break]

Though he can hardly hope to free himself from their poisoned touch, Adrian would manage to free one of his pokemon, unleashing FUROR onto the field.[break][break]

[break][break]

Exemplifying its unforgiving nature, FUROR would INTIMIDATE those around it, its mere visage giving TORMENT to those who looked upon it...[break][break]

Bye the handful the chamber starts to fill up with more and more people. Half of them are in the same situation as he is trapped by tentacles and being held hostage. The other half were gathered around the bear that was previously charging them but now wasn't. Instead it almost looked like it had finally calmed down and was willing to let people around it. He wasn't sure if that was a relief or not, at the very least if they could sick the bear on these Megalopolans and their jellyfish it'd turn the tables for them.

What would turn the tables more was if he could break himself or someone else free of their binds. Looking down at the tentacles he noticed one of them look way off than the others. It had to be a weak point right? Just like in a video game the obvious weak point always looked different on a boss. He watched as it got closer enough to touch him and as it did he could already feel his stomach ready to throw up before he could even put his plan into action, which was to open wide and bite down on the flesh chain to try and pry it off of him. HIs stomach was already starting to churn as his teeth sank into it. His mouth was probably never going to wash out this feeling anytime soon.

The panic and spells of her claustrophobia only increased with each passing second, hyperventilating as the nausea forced her to focus on the tightness of the bindings that encompassed her body. There were so many more appearing from the depths, some captured and some arriving; and
even with all of her concern for those that were bound beside her, Desiree was bewildered at the sight of the bear surfacing in the cavern and indulging in slumber. It hurt to see such a beautiful soul like Genevieve Cromwell's facing the same fate that had befell herself, it was all so cruel- but the orangette had hopes that they could escape, quite the juxtaposition between the two.[break][break]

Desiree was worried above all else that this would become all of their graves, the fear of death creeping into her psyche. To think that she was willing to pass on if it meant the safety of others, such as the heavy emotions she faced in the Mechanical Kingdom with Violet Fairbanks and dylan sayer. This moment was telling to her, just how much she truly feared dying when faced with such an explicitly volatile scenario. "Gene, I.. I don't want to die!" She cried, raspiness present within her plea. Continuing to kick and weasel her way out of the grasp the tentacle monsters had on her, she was unable to focus on those that surfaced alongside the bear, such as her friend Thomas Benoit. It was just too much.[break][break]

That was until those two guys started to pelt the group of captives with coins. It stung with each one that smacked against her skin, only adding to the overbearing anxieties that coursed through her veins. Giving it a spin of her own, the Tsareena attempted to RAPID SPIN its way out of the Nihilego's appendages to seek out the glimmering revenge she wished for. Though there was a bit of a natural urge in the pokemon's mind to go after the trainers that brought on the rain of currency, the strange Ultra Beasts were the first on her list.[break][break]

Wincing within the incoming attack's effects, Desiree seethed at the thought of one allegedly on their side being so belligerent in a situation so dire. "What the fuck are you doing?! Stop this, espèce de crétins!" She screamed at Shred and howard slayte amidst her attempt at freeing herself from the tentacle shackles.

The bluish tint was hard to discern earlier—between the fog and muk. But, as she stares into the corpse’s face, it is impossible to miss. This body is nowhere near old enough to turn blue. Is it a Megalopan?

Something stirs nearby. Another one of the supposed bodies. Immediately, her heart drops. Suddenly, it made sense why the dispatcher had been confused. This had not been a call for do-gooders. It’d been a trap.

One laid by a bunch of cannibalistic madmen. And, unfortunately, one her martyr complex had sent her stumbling into.

Leon was right. Oh, Arceus! What do I do? She tries to shout a warning, but her voice withers in her throat. All that emerges is a panicked gasp.

As the last pieces fall into place, a hand wraps around one of her ankles. “!?” Aubre gasps as she falls onto her stomach in the muck. Drag and kick though the doctor does, it proves as ineffective as a thorn against a Rhydon. In the end, only a single green boot shows she’d been there at all.

Chester, noticing her distress, rushes toward her. But even the Gyarados falls to the swipes of the oncoming horde. Through the muck and brackish waters, he briefly catches his trainer’s panicked eyes.

Another set of fingers joins the first set. In her mind, this blossoms into a dozen clawing limbs. Each of them tearing into her like starving dogs an abandoned piece of steak. A sense of despair threatens to overwhelm her. “AH!” She sucks in a mouthful of gunk as a ring of sharp teeth slam into the skin between her neck and shoulder.

Her struggling begins anew. As she turns to look, the blue face shifts into something almost wolfish. The waters swirling into strange, undulating bricks. Green eyes shrink to pinpricks as tears begin to roll down her face.When a robin’s egg hand slides over her mouth, digging into her cheeks, she slams her teeth into it with everything she has. Blood fills her mouth as the thing hisses behind her.

A fist smacks into the back of her head. When the stun fades, she finds herself wrapped in the embrace of a Nihilego. Its tentacles wrap around her the embrace of a psychopathic, territorial lover. Though she wishes to bite—like some cornered, feral animal—her mind remembers that it is poison coursing through this creature. A fact driven home when a strange, maroon tentacle brushes one of her dripping wounds.

Bile rises in her mouth. Hot and viscous. But she swallows it down as her mind tries to plan an escape. Her eyes notice the change in one woman’s hair color. Kazimir Wynter’s biting is met with a wince—that would likely not be good. With a great deal of effort, she manages to flick her two returned Pokemon’s balls onto the floor. Her panicked eyes meet Chester across the laboratory—his entire form stretched across the like a pinned butterfly.

His thrashing shakes the very ceiling, but the grip still holds. “DOSSSSSSS!”

Any planning, however, is interrupted as the ‘rescuers’ emerge from the cave’s entrance. Her eyes flick gratefully up to @thomas, but then the place turns into hell. She is grateful for the Nihilego as attacks fly every which way. One of them—a hurricane of coins—sends a piece of metal into her forehead (thanks, howard slayte and Shred). The normally kind, quiet doctor (already scared and overwhelmed), cannot help but shout. "FUCK!" This noise startles her captor for a moment. “Watch what you’re doing!” Realizing this is quite rude, she adds: “Please.”

Even as she says it, she realizes this brand of chaos may be just what this situation needs. Come on. Just a little lower. I can almost get it. Her foot gently taps a Pokeball. Unfortunately, it does not belong to Maggie (judging by the sticker on its side). That means Stun Spore is out. Still, there had to be something she could do.

From it, her Oricorio emerges. It only takes a moment for the flirtatious bird a moment to figure out who the bad guys are—the ugly rats in the masks. “Ricardo!” She croaks even as the tentacle tightens around her throat. Panicked eyes flick toward the line of Nihelego and Megalopans. “T-teeter Dance!”

It was their attackers' turn to learn how these tentacles felt.

Ryker had followed the bear until he and the others who had followed resurfaced in a cavern. Pulling himself out of the water, he quickly took in the sight around him. The ones who had been captured were wrapped up in tentacles, though the Pokémon attached to the end of those tentacles didn't look familiar. Another Pokémon he had never seen before. How interesting.
[break][break]
The next thing he noticed were the Metropolitans. Wait, he had seen those things before. It was during that expedition with Dorian and that kid. Though at the moment, he was too busy trying to figure out how those beings had ended up here to try and remember the kids now. He was sure it would come to him later when he wasn't about to enter some battle.
[break][break]
Barely giving the bear Pokémon a passing glance, he directed Ares to head over to the prisons and help them out. With his orders, Ares headed over and attempted to use Psycho Cut on some of the surrounded Nihilego in the hopes of making them let go of their prisoners, of course he made sure that none of the attacks would go towards the prisoners. If the Nihilego released their prisoners, it would give them more fighting power to deal with the Metropolitans.
[break][break]
Though for now, he would do what he could to deal with the Metropolitans. It seemed he wasn't alone in that sentiment. He could see a few of the others also had readied themselves to fight against the Metropolitans. He didn't really care whether or not he had help, as long as whoever helped him knew what they were doing.
[break][break]
Narrowing his eyes, he fell into a stance that would make it easier to leap into action. Time to take down these Metropolitans and get all of them out of here.

Down, deep, through crystals and plants - following the Ursaluna and co, El was led into a cavern hidden underneath the swamp's depths. And what they saw felt otherworldly. Strange deceptive-looking machines, posters covering the walls, tera crystals, strangely garbed people...

... And a number of Nihilego - with odd chains - binding up a number of the trainers who had come to track down the Ursaluna in the first place. Isaac Merlo, Eris Halla, Kazimir Wynter, Genevieve Cromwell, all to name a few faces that El was close to or otherwise found particularly familiar.

Shock filled El - from both the otherworldly sights, to seeing so many others in danger, to the strange blue-toned people suddenly turning upon the unwelcome guests. And with the Ursaluna beginning to Rest, the beast would need to be protected by these attackers. Adrenaline beginning to pump, El made their call. "Iron Head on the Nihilego, Artio!"

And the Kubfu in question - though briefly nervous - snapped right to action at El's call. Charging forward, she would let out a little squeaky roar, as she threw herself at the Nihilego holding people captive! If they could get enough people free, then they could overwhelm the Megalopolans through sheer number, right?

But, El was not idle. Even as their knee ached in protest, they'd forget the pain in lieu of trying to lend a hand as well - driven to act in defense of the others. A small table nearby - perhaps used for one's lunch - would be seized; and lifting it somewhat, El would proceed to flip and toss it at the nearest enemies with a wild wordless yell!

TLDR:
- El emerges in the cave alongside Ursaluna - is a bit shocked at the sights, including that of friends/acquaintances being held captive by the Nihilego
- Has Kubfu target the Nihilego with Iron Head to try and get trainers + their pokemon free, to overwhelm the Megalopolans with numbers.
- CHAOS CHAOS - El grabs a nearby small table and flips it at the nearest Megalopolans/Nihilego. Ow their knee.

Vanilla was still frozen in fear at the sights around her, the world muted as she'd be unable to think straight at what was happening to her. The ringing in her ears didn't stop, the only other sound accompanying this was the sound of her own heartbeat. She'd stammer out something, crawling away as to her horror, the bodies would begin to move again. They uprooted themselves from the swamp and swarmed around the area, grabbing people around her as Vanilla would panic. What could she do?! They were taking everyone! She looked around flustered before just taking a deep breath and ducking under the swamp water. It was a bit disgusting, but anything to keep the things from grabbing her. Bodies passed, yelling and screams were heard as she tried to shut it all out. Legs walked by her, some tripped over her, but Vanilla refused to move. It was only when the chaos had ended did she rise from the hiding place.

After coughing out some swamp water, the teenager looked around. A good chunk of people were gone, with Megalopolans being attacked in the process. She looked about in confusion before a familiar face would clear the white noise in her mind. "Th-Thomas..." she said weakly. The girl wasn't exactly in the best mind space right now, but he was a totally big help on helping her stablize herself. She sighed, though looked calmer at his presence. "Thanks. You were right about your theory." she said, trying to wipe the swamp gunk from her hair. But the poor girl wasn't getting much done and decided to focus her efforts elsewhere.

Their bear, interestingly, had run off instead of staying to fight. Almost like it was afraid and just drawn here in the first place. Vanilla looked back to her mentor with an expectant glance. "What's the plan?" Fortunately, he already had one. But taking out honey as an offering wasn't what she had expected. Still, it was better than nothing. Wanting to help out, Vanilla took out some PokeSnax that she had cooked for her party that were in a plastic bag, saved from the nasty swampy taste in her mouth. She stood still and offered it alongside Thomas.

TL;DR:
#Area1Pride
↳ Freaks out, hides under the water from the bodies
↳ Is saved from the bodies snatched up, meets with Thomas
↳ Offers the Ursaluna snacks alongside his offer of honey

Xiura's Sableye returned to her side, shivering with overexertion. She hugged him and brought him back into his ball for safety. "You've done great today, Jin, so rest now," she assured softly.
[break][break]
With not a small amount of guilt, she called her Gardevoir forth and said, "It's hurt and tired. Please heal it." From a safe, reassuring distance, Gardevoir swayed back and forth before sending forth a gentle Heal Pulse to the Ursaluna to restore its health.
[break][break]
The sounds of roiling waters caught Xiura's attention, and though she was loath to take her eyes off her Pokemon, she looked.
[break][break]
A familiar head of red hair disappeared under the surface amid the thrashing of water-bloated bodies. "Aurelie?" she gasped, horror-struck. Distantly, she heard ryker hayes tell her that Adrian Malcolm had been taken, too. She gritted her teeth. This was no time to panic or lose composure.
[break][break]
"Jack," she yelled. "They have Aurelie!" Trembling with fear that the worst had happened to Aurelie, she turned to the Ursaluna and said, quietly, "I'm sorry--I misunderstood before. We'll help you. Please help us find our friends."
[break][break]
She nodded at ryker hayes as he teleported away, and made to follow. As the Ursaluna, calmed by the collective actions of the group, dove to lead the people to their companions, Xiura reached out to jack wainwright. "Jack!"

The dead body seemed to come alive under Jack's touch. His mind seemed to lock up as it tried to process a dead body coming alive and Jack's only saving grace was the protect shield that the corpse clashed against as Jack reeled back. As the dissonance passed, Jack's eyes darted to @elliot just as the Ranger trainee was swarmed by so many of the bodies in the swamp, disappearing under the murky water before Jack could even shout. Further out, he saw his Corviknight kick a grasping corpse in the face before speeding away. Jack reached up as the Corviknight passed overhead and felt his hand lock into Poe's talon, pulling him out of the fetid waters with a gurgling plop.[break][break]

Almost as soon as his boots were back on solid ground, Xiura Balfaltin's shout reached his ears. Panic fluttered in his chest as he ran toward where Xiura stood. Those things have Aurelie. He skidded to a stop next to Xiura in a spray of mud as the Bloodmoon Beast recovered from the chaos of the previous moments. Jack returned his Corviknight to his pokeball and released Mismagius again as the Ursaluna dove into the swamp and disappeared.[break][break]

"After it," he said urgently to Mismagius as he grasped Xiura's proffering hand and the familiar feeling of a phantom force pulled them through space.

The Dive did the trick and Victoria found herself cheering once Neri landed her hit. Everyone was banding together to fight against this new malformed monstrosity. With everyone going toe to toe with the beast like this it felt like they couldn't lose. Yet something in the back of her mind, call it a sense or her instinct, was also telling her it couldn't be this easy. [break][break]

Just as she anticipated, things were certainly not meant to be that easy. The bodies that had been decorating the swamp started to disappear one by one. "did either of you see that?” Lulu asked and Victoria frowned. "I think we need to--" But her words were cut off by the bodies reappearing and grabbing onto her. [break][break]

"Get off!" Tori growled as she struggled against the bodies that worked together as restraints. That's when she felt teeth sink into her flesh and causing her to gasp before being dragged under by the bodies into the murky depth. Tori's throat burned as her lungs screamed for oxygen. [break][break]

Moments later she and other's were coughing up the dirt and muck while on the swamp's cavern floor. They didn't have a moment to catch their breath before they were all seized by nihilego tentacles. Attempting to regain her bearings she is suddenly hit with an overwhelming wave of nausea once the nihilego magenta chain touched her.[break][break]

"Neri..." Tori managed to gasp out in between shaky breaths. They were restricted so there wasn't much that could be done but they had to try anything, even if it wasn't very effective. Understanding it's trainer's intentions without the words being spoken, the Phione attempted to have the nihilego hold on it loosened by using ACID ARMOR. It was a long shot but Tori needed these tentacles off of her immediately.

[attr="class","frannmain"]

Whether it truly understood that they were trying to help or not, Yuina moved out of the way as the Ursaluna Removed started to slosh through the water, and dove into the swampy depths that the rest of their party had been drug into by the zombies of the swamp. Yuina was quick to jump back onto Daikenki's back as she clutched the Samurott's fur, and against her better judgement, she drew in a deep breath as she tried to push away the feeling of her skin crawling at the thought of going down there... And not knowing what they were going to find.[break]
It was either that, or stay above ground where the sounds of more things moving towards them could be heard, but Yuina wasn't going to chance not trying to save anyone that she could that had been drug down into the depths of the murky dark water. She just couldn't bring herself to leave any or all of them, even if she didn't know who they were.[break][break]
Clutching his dark fur, Yuina motioned Daikenki forward, and the water type barked as he rushed forward in the water right after the Ursaluna Removed, careful to keep close to it as their intention now was to follow it. Holding her breath and clutching tightly, it wasn't long before they emerged from the murky depths and up into a cave that remained deep beneath the surface of the swamp... And it was certainly an odd sight. There were... Posters on the walls? And objects, like human objects down here, what on earth could have been taking place down here at all? But that was far from important as Yuina looked around, many of their hunting party, and now she could even see some of her friends... Were being restrained and strangled by what looked like a strange series of the unnerving monsters that rested in the bowels of that interdimensional beast at the bottom of the Ultra Sea... Including...[break][break]
"Desiree," Yuina called out, she had no idea that DESIREE BLOOMS was here, she hadn't seen her, she must have been on the other side of the swamp! And she could see Kazimir Wynter too, and she recognized Elise Calcifet! They'd all been captured, and by the looks of the monsters that clung tightly to each and every one of them, she knew that no good was going to come from them being trapped and restrained this way...[break]
Yuina tried to think quickly, this whole situation escalated so much quicker and so much farther than she could have imagined, but what's more, their friends weren't the only ones in danger, the Ursaluna Removed needed help too as it slumped to the ground, it was likely exhausted and on its last legs if it had been in the midst of whatever this situation was that was going on... She wasn't going to leave the bear's side, in fact, she hopped down from Daikenki's back and moved as close as she dared, putting herself between the Ursaluna removed and the.... Awful looking blue figures that were encroaching upon them.[break][break]
"Daikenki, those monsters. Get Desiree and Kaz, and anybody else that you can, we're going to do everything that we can," Yuina urged him, and she held out the Tera Orb that she carried with her... She focused as hard as she could, reaching out to Daikenki's energy, and as the Samurott began to glow and shimmer in a brilliant blue he rushed forward, empowered, and ready to strike.[break]
The Samurott rushed through the area with his shells drawn, using Razor Shell liberally to slash at anything that dare come near him, making his way towards the hoard of jellyfish monsters and slashing furiously at the couple of them that were strangling Yuina's particular friends.

It might have been a nice moment between him and Yuina Higashi. Then hell breaks loose.[break][break]

The body Tempest had been inspecting only fails to grab him thanks to Compass beating the fuck out of it thanks to her held Thief. Jumping away, he goes to crawl up onto her back and out of the water- you never knew when they could try and grab. While Temp considered himself the most skilled at water combat, this was a swamp and not a large body of water. He was as out of his depth here as anyone else.[break][break]

Screaming, splashes of water. Tempest gets his bearings and locks in on blond.[break][break]

Cillian Quinn as a woman? flits across his mind. It is with a sinking horror as realizes it is Lulu Flint who is being dragged to the depths.[break][break]

The blue sheen of the skin. It had to be...[break][break]

"THEY'RE GOING TO FUCKING EAT THEM." Tempest bellows to all around him who cared to listen, mildly panicked.[break][break]

He joins the party in diving under the murky depths. Compass churns her legs as the two of them dive into the cave mouth.[break][break]

The bears Rests. His Sygna Suit feels hot as Panic surges through him and into Compass.

Lulu is spotted, now without her blond hair, in the arms of a Nihilego. Tempest didn't like Ultra Beasts; they were strange and alien. Still, he wasn't about to lose his new sister to these stupid blue bitches.[break][break]

"Compass! Ally Switch!"[break][break]

Psychic energy collected around him and his mount as the attack charged up. Then a flash- and hopefully they had achieved their goal of freeing Lulu.[break][break]

Fist formed, Tempest readied himself to sucker punch whatever Pokemon or Megalopian happened to be around him when they came out of it.[break][break]

DEREK HOFFMAN

POSTED ON Oct 6, 2023 0:25:54 GMT

shiv and aaron faust like this

(T) CROTA ♂ | PRANKSTER - assurance, ice punch, light screen, play rough, reflect, sucker punch

(T) FLYGON | LEVITATE - breaking swipe, earthquake, feint, first impression, fly, protect

(T) MARACTUS ♀ | STORM DRAIN - bounce, leech seed, grassy terrain, ingrain, spiky shield, worry seed

The sights from on high appear worse for there clarity, though Derek can do nothing to help those caught in the struggle below. The distance is too great, and the sound of LEECH SEEDS bursting in the distance distracts him. Staring for too long with the false hope of seeing just what it was they ensnared, Derek is one of the last to realize everyone has decided to take the plunge.

Given the inkling they knew something he didn't, the ranger's Flygon is encouraged to divebomb straight for the water. Gradually catching up with the rest, he emerges onto the scene to find them protecting the bear.

Soaked and pissed off for it, Derek scoops up the Flygon with a pokeball before quickly wringing out his jacket.

With everyone preoccupied, and attacks flying about, one might figure it best to stand back and observe. Oh, and give those who could spare the attention to address what was probably on it's way. "So uh. There's probably another horde headed here." Whether anyone had actually listened was beyond him. "Just thought you guys ought to know before everything goes to shit...again." Until then, he'd allow his Grimmsnarl out to project a LIGHT SCREEN ahead of the 'security detail'.

cZEmfNdf

tl;dr
- follows after everyone instead of checking what's behind
- explains that there are more megalopolans/etc likely to arrive
- stands idly by ursaluna/entrance, summoning his grimmsnarl & using LIGHT SCREEN

Xiura gasped as the Mismagius’s Phantom Force propelled them through time and space into a dank swamp cavern. Coins were strewn all over the floor, twinkling with the light of the surrounding Tera Crystals, the brilliant mess courtesy of howard slayte’s and Shred’s earth-shattering combination attack. However, Xiura was unaware of this. Her eyes roved over roiling masses of Nihilego tentacles, searching for the familiar face of Aurelie Lefevre. Still grasping jack wainwright’s hand, she squeezed it reflexively as she spotted their dear bladesmith, one arm free and the other caught fast in tentacles and fleshy magenta chains.

“Aurelie!” she shrieked in relief, immediately sending Gardevoir after the Nihilego that were holding her and the others hostage. The Pokemon pummelled the multitudinous tentacles with psychic force, compelling them to release more of the kidnapped individuals. With a hoarse sob, Xiura threw herself at Aurelie, clutching tightly around her shoulders in a grateful embrace.
[break][break]
“Life Dew, please, Gardevoir,” she asked of her Pokemon, to heal the bite marks and any wounds the kidnapped may have sustained from the Megalopolans’ attacks, as well as from the binding of the Nihilego. A shimmering blue mist of condensation settled into any wounds their allies had sustained, including the Ursaluna resting nearby.

What an amazing evening for meeting new friends and old comrades, what a beautiful day to go around spelunking around muddy waters, what a glorious day to investigate gate the dead bodies. Aidan had accepted the task of helping Rowan Wrynn with the poor chap that had passed away in unknown and unfortunate circumstances, but little did they know that the dead had better plans for Aidan's day.[break][break]

Before he could put his hands on the dead, the dead decided to put their hands on him. As the cold and wet hands touched his body bringing the chill of death and wetness of the drowned. "Fuuuuu..." Before he could even finished speaking he was already under, being dragged to only Arceus knew where. One could even say that the bubbles that rose up once he was gone had finished his sentence "uuuuck".[break][break]

After what had felt like a millennia of inability to breath and fight back, Aidan finally found the power and ability to pick himself up. "The dead can have me when they earn me!" He said picking himself up, mud still in his hair and clothes, and other places it shouldn't be. Probably the worse he had looked in his life but of course nothing was so bad that it couldn't get worse.[break][break]

Of course his realization would only come once he was thrown to the ground and picked back up by eldritch jellyfish pokemon, as far as his brain had caught up to his surroundings he had no actual clue on what was happening there. He wasn't the only one dragged to the underworld or just a cave, jury was still on that one. Other trainers and their pokemon struggled and fought against their captors. Aidan wasn't beyond that either, especially since his own pokemon had been taken down with him. It was time for Aidan to see if all his gym days had paid off and to see if his pokemon could live up to some expectations. With a few clicks of his tongue the Metagross would try and use ZEN HEADBUTT on one of the Nihilego while Aidan struggled to break himself free with his own strength. [break][break]
