TFW PRELUDE: MOSSDEEP SCENARIO B-11
POSTED ON Aug 5, 2024 16:22:41 GMT
Makoto has half the mind to call for them to leave. What could they gain from staying here, after all? Whilst most other League personnel were locked in combat elsewhere, all it took was someone else joining in for things to quickly go more awry than it already was.
But, at the same time, it was hard to find an opening to call Erebus back for that quick getaway...
Initially, Erebus' attention turns to PorygonZ and Duraludon both - recognizing the threat inherent in the both of them. It turns to face them, prepared to deal with them now... But amidst the distraction, the Pyroar's teeth sink into the Deoxys - which draws forth a hiss, this one not quite as loud but no less a reaction.
Danger. It's in danger. It is outnumbered - the Crunches wearing away at its ability to protect itself. It has to recover - and to do so, it attempts to absorb the lion by striking at it with a Drain Punch..!
As soon as it's able to free itself from the Pyroar's grip, it turns to face the Archaludon and PorygonZ again - but it's too late. Dual electrical strikes slam into it, causing it to shriek once more. Too much. Too much all at once. It cannot handle this much, like this.
Makoto pulls out Erebus' pokeball - seeing the hole blown into the wall, and the opportunity inherent to it. They're prepared to recall it - to prepare a quick getaway to tend to their bleeding injuries, but--
No.
-- Erebus is not done. It desires to survive - for Makoto to survive - and it desires to remain, to learn. It has another option, that it can take - both to remove these enemies, and ensure the duo's survival. It turns its gaze to Makoto - and something in its eyes freezes them in place - which is perfect.
It advances on them - reaches forward...
Erebus..?
... And losing its shape, it begins to envelop them..!
Makoto barely has any time to shout out. Before they know it, their mouth is full of Erebus. Their nostrils are full of Erebus. Their tear ducts, their ears, their throat, their very pores were full of Erebus. They cannot breathe past it, as it forces its way in. They want to scream - it hurts, it feels wrong, they can feel something crawling underneath their skin, a second heart beating in their chest...
... They are scared.
Kuro is, too - the Zorua emerging. He wants to do something about it - to stop this process - but how does he do it, without hurting Makoto in the process?
From an outside perspective, it passes in but a few seconds. For Makoto, it feels like an excruciating eternity. But all the same, it isn't long before Erebus is - for all intents and purposes - no longer visible. Makoto coughs - gags and heaves, bent over themself - as they are suddenly able to breathe again, a hand pressed to their chest. Two hearts pump blood and ichor through their body - blood and ichor that no longer is being spilt, as the bullet and knife wound both begin to Recover.
A bullet - pushed out from the wound - clatters onto the ground.
Makoto looks at themself briefly - and from the surface, they still look like themself... For but a moment. But suddenly, their muscles seize - gaze forcefully turned towards the Archaludon.
Defeat. Learn more.
Erebus looks through Makoto's eyes - and as an arm is enveloped in teal and crimson, it forces them to rush forth. To reel back a fist, and attempt to strike at the steely dragon with another Drain Punch..! TLDR: Deoxys is distracted from Pyroar by seeing Archaludon + PorygonZ charging up - but is Crunch'd before it can interfere. It attempts to (flavor) absorb the Pyroar with a Drain Punch and manages to pull away from it... But gets zap'd by PorygonZ + Archaludon before it can do anything about the two. Having taken heavy damage, but not wanting to fall back quite yet, Deoxys proceeds to symbiosis w/ Makoto in a disturbing/horrifying process. Zorua is scared for its trainer but doesn't know what it can do to stop Deoxys w/o hurting Makoto. Once the process finishes, Makoto's left feeling sick + spooked, but their wounds visibly regenerate with Recover. Deoxys puppets them a little to charge Archaludon w/ Drain Punch.
