'we won't die,' he promised, hands gripped around the edge of his blade. a time when his hair bleeds inky-black instead of frosted-white. there are bags underneath his eyes from nightmares everlasting, but the smile that touches his lips is genuine and true. the sound of giggling children and dragon hatchlings echo in the distance as he steps forward, touching the tips of his glowing blades against her sword-bow.

[break][break] 'we can't die. because we must go home.'

[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]

[break]

and home was the thing that they would return to — no matter the cost. even if it was the cost of their lives.

[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]

[break]

he had no choice.

[break][break] he sees the golden flames that rise in the depths of her eyes, sees the same hatred and flickering fire that he'd seen in the molten lava of 's gaze, and just like before —

[break][break] he dives right in.

[break][break] plunges headlong into the jaws of peril.

[break][break] CAN YOU DO IT?

[break][break] the rocket admin fearlessly catapulted himself across the scorching blue sky, heart bleeding with nothing but passionate HATRED — for her, for the circumstances that had brought them to this moment, for the chains of promise that forced him to surrender to his darkest urges. the cold storm raged furiously around him as he clawed like a feral beast against the councilwoman's sygna suit, blistered fingers sinking into the crevice of her shoulder blades.

[break][break] ARE YOU STRONG ENOUGH?

[break][break] teeth sunk into precious skin, looking for the artery that pulsed beneath her human skin. for the lifeblood that he knew that had existed there, when he had felt it thrum beneath his fingertips as they sat together in their graveyard, staving off the end of the world.

[break][break] YOU'RE GOING TO DIE HERE, AND NO ONE'S GOING TO CARE

[break][break] but the strength of such draconic energy knows no bounds. the power of one destined legacy to another. there is more at stake than just a willingness to return to their roots — 's strength and passion burns just as bright, just as violently, as the icy hatred that laces through his own veins.

[break][break] and just like he told her back then, in that graveyard of souls, power is pain.

[break][break] a scream is ripped from his throat as agony throws his head back with a sickening crack, making him lose grip on her and her dragon's scales as verdant green floods through his body. it screams and claws and screeches against the monster that lives within him, burning, burning, burning

[break][break] YOUR LIFE IS FORFEIT

[break][break] plummets towards the water's edge in the same heartbeat that and his patron devour the charred metal beast in violent flame.

[break][break]

ker-plunk-plunk-plunk!


[break] ice wreathes around the water serpent as she thrashes against the touch of human skin against her. HATRED bleeds into the crevices where her scales thin with hurt from 's touch, listening to the bits of metal splash beneath the roar of the waves.

[break][break] rai wants it over. rai wants it gone.

[break][break] the world is too cold, and it is why his two masters cannot be together. it is why they sleep in separate beds on most days, or not at all. it is why everything is wrong and ruinous and bleeds cold when things should be warm and gold and beautiful.

[break][break] if he can kill this stupid human then maybe he can kill the hate-thing that grows like a blackened flower in his master's heart, perhaps he can end

[break][break] the world cannot end unless it goes down in flames.

[break][break] a screech of rage is ripped from the water serpant's throat as it's gaze pins upon that human in the water crawling atop that dead, floating carcass, as burnt metal and steam curdles off the edge of the waves.

[break][break] entwining with the frosted storm that rages above, a furious light glows around the milotic as it summons a HAIL. slipping through the raging sea, the milotic careens it's body towards the human and attempts to wrap his body around her, to squeeze the life out of her. if he can end her, perhaps he can end all of this.

[break][break] finally, his crown illuminates in furiously frosted light and the blinding glow of a a TERA BLAST is aimed down at her, attempting to blast a crater through her leftover human flesh.

[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]

[break]

GO, SISTER. YOU DON'T BELONG HERE.

[break][break] dragons are beasts. they are feral creatures, not meant for love, only for hate, only for war. but their own chains sank into them from the moment that they were born, from the moment they were hatchlings raised by a single mother, racing through life's barren fields.

[break][break] time had torn them apart. history had sought to destroy what bonds that they had built.

[break][break] but fate had brought them together, in either this world or the next.

[break][break] stubbornness raises high on her face as she defies him in the sky, and he snarls back in reply, beating back powerful wings as she lunges for his throat.

GO, SISTER. GO, HOME.

[break][break] but it's not enough. it's never enough.

[break][break] blood and fire burn as her claws rake his sides, blood spilling down his scales. he lets out another roar of complaint, of warning, before a sudden blast from above has the dragon looking towards it, watching his master fall down from the heavens like a shooting star.

[break][break] ice crackles in the water as the waves abruptly freeze under divine frost, and a mighty creatures races across the frozen glaciers to seize the falling human by the scruff of his shirt. blue energy arcs around jayden's limp form, bringing energy to him as the hateful storm rages on with even more ferocity. winds howl with the anguished cries of the fallen, their tormented spirits whipping through the air in an unyielding barrage.

[break][break] under his patron's touch, the admin's body begins to stir. he steadies himself atop the ruinous creature, the b lood seeping through his tattered armor transforming into protective ice. fatal wounds heal beneath the relentless surge of blue energy that envelops him, pulsing with palpable animosity and tension, as swift and steady as a heartbeat.

[break][break] all the while, the BERZERK STORM intensifies around the battlefield with unrelenting ferocity, hatred and fury rising to their peak as the storm rages on, more powerful than before.

[break][break] it lashes out with unrelenting ferocity, unyielding and indiscriminate, as it expands in a vicious arc — spanning both seas and open sky, at rocket and league alike, and threatening anyone who dares to stand in it's devastating path.

[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]

[break]

unbearable loathing and hatred screams through the air, cutting even towards the raging roaring moon in the sky. whatever sentiment that he felt for his sister's ailment is replaced with a vicious wrath as her fangs scorch into his neck, aiming to rip his throat out. energy swells around the dragon, verdant green wreathing as vicious and brutally as a torrent of flame.

[break][break] but no fire splits from his jaws.

[break][break] no, it's the sky that rips open in all it's rightious fury as a sudden DRACO METEOR is called from the heavens, plunging all who stand in it's path back into the depths of hell.

[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]

[break]

and just like this, the world is brought to ruin.

after he bites her, jayden is blown out of the sky with 's DRAGON ASCENT sygna suit ability.

[break][break] enraged by the hateful storm, rai summons a HAIL and TERA BLAST (ice) directly at and aeris.

[break][break] vodnik fights with his sister in the sky and tries to get her to leave, knowing that something terrible is about to occur. even as she fights him and tries to rip out his throat.

[break][break] chien pao appears!!! and saves/heals jayden with it's hatred and all the resonating hatred in the area, empowering him, and the HATRED STORM doubles in ferocity, lashing out at everyone in the area, including jayden's own pokemon. his roaring moon is impacted, and goes berserk, raging into a DRACO METEOR that is aimed at everyone.

was barely able to return his fainted SHAYMIN to its Poké Ball before an intense, wailing blizzard overtook the area. With this conjured storm came a deepened, nearly-blinding feeling of hatred toward both and . A small part of him knew that this was CHIEN-PAO's influence, but he didn't really care.[break][break]

He leaned into the hatred, recklessly urging MOLTRES on toward the MOONBLAST, willing to let his patron take yet another blow if it meant he could get closer to the GARDEVOIR and DUSKNOIR. The beam hit, sending MOLTRES careening to the side, but gave an opportunity for Barnaby to conjure a swath of shadow-infused flames around 's Pokémon. [break][break]

barnaby can unleash a powerful burst of shadow-infused flames ONCE PER THREAD, creating a persisting area of effect that damages enemies and hinders movement by inflicting deep fatigue.
[break]

In the tumult of their battle, saw freefall and yelled, "JAYDEN!"[break][break]

A groaning cry then called out above the blizzard, reminding them all that KYOGRE's return was imminent. Suddenly, a barrage of beams shot out from the horizon, hitting the crater wall surrounding Sootopolis City. In tandem, a series of explosions also ignited along the rim, causing rock and debris to fly into the air before hurtling into the sea below.

Kanaya sees the Milotic beneath the surface of the sea, the target painted on her trainer’s back. But then everything is subsumed in black flame and shadow as Moltres’ deathly fumes embrace them.

The mechanisms in her Sygna Suit hum; through their connection, she can feel Kanaya drawing on their shared power, pressing the flames away with psychic and trying to stop herself and Zen from being burnt to a crisp.

With her two strongest Pokemon subsequently out of the fight, the human is on her own. Which is fine. It’s all fine. Even as things start to crumble around them, it’s all fine. Even with hail pelting down and Sima’s unconscious, unusable form rusting in the sea beneath her, it’s all gonna be fine.

And then the Milotic hits her from behind, one incredibly strong loop of pure muscle striking against her hip, squeezing her. Before she can blink, it wraps around her; she feels her ribs compress, lungs screaming, barely managing to get her metal hand out of the wrap in time. She catches the thing’s head in her left palm, holding it at arm’s length like Ophihucus, servos in her arm whistling with the effort of pushing it back.

It opens its gaping maw, teeth flashing, but it is not from within the mouth the danger comes; instead, light gathers atop the creature’s crested head, and she’s staring down the barrel of her entire life.

Time slows in the way it does when you’re about to die. The fear spikes through her, supercharging her, and from somewhere in the foggy near-distance, Kanaya’s power answers.

She lets go of the head and the sudden removal of support makes the head drop, and the Tera Blast goes off towards her right-side chest, instead of her head. Her Sygna suit burns, electricity crackling, plasteel plating converging with cold power and bursting forward in sharp spikes. Fragments of ice pierce against her skin.

In the same moment, vibrant pink energy pulses through her; the servos in her left arm whirr and spin, cycling in ways she hadn’t seen before as the suit and psychic energy merge and meld. White-hot power thrums through her, palm burning with it; she screams as ice shoots through her skin and flashing white-pink energy bursts from her hand where it’s pressed down lower on the Milotic’s throat. Pulse after pulse, burning and blasting through soft, white meat; ice carves down her right side, sinking into the meat of her thigh.

“Empty-- the-- clip!”

Again and again, she fires; now flesh is flying and vibrant pink blood splatters across Sima’s body. The Tera Blast fades out, the sound of crackling ice left in its wake, as the Milotics body flops awkwardly to the side.

She sags to her right side, blood sluicing down her skin, rimed in frost from her ribcage to the top of her thigh, and extends her left arm for one final, weaker pulse for good measure, splattering herself and the surface of the sea, in gore.

“Checking for a pulse,” she wheezed.

There were long moments of deafening silence-- the kind that are truly not long, nor silent, but they seem that way after a great undertaking. She made a pained noise and tried to straighten, ice breaking away from her frozen Sygna Suit.

Then the whole world explodes.



- Dusknoir and Gardevoir are zoned out by Moltres' fire and, whilst protecting themselves, are unable to go on the offense this turn.

- Ana is hit by hail and tera blast. Ana uses coordinated blasts of Psychic on Milotic to old yeller it. Thank you to milky for allowing me to do this.

- Kyogre go boom boom

the ice does not find purchase. not against the dragon-fire. not after, time and time again she has stumbled, stuttered, and stood, with finality, against her resentments. courage has replaced her cowardice and with her beloved city so close, there is no version of her, no part of her in any other timeline, that could fall now.[break][break]

jayden plummets, screeching and smoking. it dawns on her, as her ascent crests and lyune rises to meet her, that they will not stop until the other has been killed. [break][break]


they will not take the city if they are kept at its shores. [break][break]


a pressure mounts, knotting in her chest. behind the clouds, through the fog and the storm, the sky high deity waits, hungry to join the fight. to shed blood for the sake of balance. COME, they call, but lyune tucks his wings. [break][break]


freya crouches on his back, one hand tucked into the strap across his spine to maintain her grip as the wind tears at her. her eyes smart. they near the water at a breakneck speed, corkscrewing out of the way of 's blast of dark fire.[break][break]


her heart lurches in her throat, but she quickly catches a glimpse of ana in the blackened flames, zenais and kanaya holding the worst of it at bay. and then there are blasts, a screen of smoke, a rippling of the waves as the leviathan breaches the surface. [break][break]


the sea becomes a violent hellscape.[break][break]


she doesn't know if their comms are dead, if ana can hear her, if she's even okay, but this is their chance. "ana, hold on!" lyune's forelegs plunge into the waves, claws hooking, and with a mighty snarl, he lifts the mass that is sima 2.0 from the water. mist billows out around them immediately, exploding over the white-capped waves. aeris twirls by her side and freya smiles with bloodied gums.[break][break]


[break][break]


melusine's vision is red and it is pink and she is part of the storm, remembering the time before she coalesced into feather and scale, when she was part of a dream, one side of a coin, half a heart, half a blade, her other half a mirror constructed before her very eyes. [break][break]


and when she was made, she knew her hunger, and she knew his hunger too. [break][break]


loyalty is the golden thread that worms through her now, breaking the dam, giving her a brief moment of clarity to search for the one who named herself master, and smells dragon-mist. [break][break]


sees the fire in the sky and knows they will not make it unless she claws past vodnik and careens into the asteroids herself before they can break apart and set the sea on fire. [break][break]


[break][break]


they circle in the heavens. they taste their chosen's blood in the air. they hear the pleading of their deep sea sister-brother. they feel the earth rupture, the wounds that will become scars, the fight that will ruin them all. [break][break]


the sacrifices that have yet to be made.[break][break]


when their chosen says, "i am here," they writhe, spiraling down from the heavens, maw agape and resounding with a terrible, triumphant roar; a cry for war, a mark against their enemies, a keening answer to the primordial titan.[break][break]


it has only just begun.[break][break]


[break][break]


"ana," she yells roughly, "do what you can to stabilize sima. we're going in to phase two."[break][break]


her neck twinges. she touches a gauntleted hand to it and grits her teeth as the silver comes away bloody. 'just... just remember me.' he'd asked of her.

the cursed is destined to hate.

[break][break] he hates and hates and hates, with every bone in his body, with every heartbeat that reverberates through him, from head to toe. the irony of fate, to bring him into a loveless world and then subject him to years of endless torment, was nearly too cruel to bear.

[break][break] his body burns with the unfairness of it all —

[break][break] but how much more unfair it is to know that the ones around him, the ones who love him, the pokemon that he holds so precious-dear, would have to suffer that same exact fate.

[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]

[break]

'i know i'm not supposed to,' he'd confessed once to and both. 'but i care for them.'

[break][break] 'they're not weapons to me.'

[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]

[break]

weak boy. fragile child. foolish soul.

[break][break] even had seen the weakness in him.

[break][break] "you've been broken to pieces, haven't you? then those pieces forced back into a new shape."

[break][break] "you're useless to rocket."

[break][break] how ironic that the very thing that hated for was the very thing that they had seen in him.

[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]

[break]

with a fierceness devoid of humanity, 's gifted milotic emerges from the churning waves, determined to obliterate that which caused his human so much anguish. human or machine. man or monster. it didn't matter. if he could destroy here and now, he might finally put an end to the piercing torment of the icy winds that raged around them.

[break][break] each of those dying souls echoed a reminder, cutting their way into his fraying scales.

[break][break] KILL HER. KILL HER. KILL HER.

[break][break] SACRIFICE YOURSELF.

[break][break] and sacrifice himself he would.

[break][break] his mouth yawns with the power of his TERA BLAST, a blinding hue, intent on engorging upon the fragile human in his grasp. however, before he can blow a crater in the side of 's face —

[break][break] a scream is ripped out of his throat. white-hot pain burns his scales as that mutated hand crunches around his slithering throat, as she blasts him. again and again. without remorse. without concern. without care.

[break][break] "NO! RAI!"

[break][break] the mangled shout of his master bleeds through, but it is not enough.

[break][break] his gaze blurs. agony rips through him again. he stares down at her, trembling.

[break][break] this human... no. she wasn't a human. not anymore.

[break][break] his tailfin thrashes against the force of the attack, struggling to tear free in time, but a gaping wound the size of a crater has already torn through him. there's no escape — not from this.

[break][break] the hollow winds of dying souls converge on him, achingly close.

[break][break] they come to gather his spirit in their whispering embrace, just as the remains of his flesh are swallowed by the raging sea.

[break][break] plip-plop-PLOP!

[break][break] and so it arrives:

[break][break] sweet, sweet surrender.

[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]

[break]

standing atop his ruinous beast, jayden stares down what has happened.

[break][break] his fingers grip tightly the edge of the feline's scruff, as though immobilized into place by sightless chains. regret and pain and HATRED surges through him, eyes snapping immediately towards the weakened girl crumpled atop her dying machine.

[break][break] the feeling that runs through him is so immediate - so visceral - that he nearly doesn't notice the sky's jaws open with flaming fire, and the world turning into a bloody sea.

[break][break] meteors plummet into the crashing waves without an ounce of remorse. one nearly collides with him — except —

[break][break] 'JAYDEN!'

[break][break] the words of his fellow admin inspire him into action, jerking the beast below him into movement, the waves freezing beneath his paws as it redirects both him and jayden into safety. mist rolls through the air just in time, as he searches the sky for his fiery brethren, just as he witnesses a sudden BLAST from kyogre into sootopolis' crater. it rocks the ocean with purpose, followed shortly by the glimmering verdant scales of something godly.

[break][break] is that...?

[break][break] freezing ice blades streak the burnt orange sky like a legion of arrows, an attempt to strike the trio in it's tracks, but it's a moment too late.

[break][break] bitterness rolls along the roof of his mouth, twisted with iron-blood, as he witnesses and 's miserly escape.

[break][break] COWARDS.

[break][break] every bone in his body aches him to follow. to fight, against his best instincts.

[break][break] but 's words empower him, anchor him into reality, and he thinks about 's words not too long ago.

[break][break] keep your head clear and your will your own.

[break][break] there was too much at stake not to.

[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]

[break]

a hand lifts to the sky, calling his dragon back towards him.

[break][break] vodnik obeys — bound by the sinister force tethered to his master's fate — and lifts jayden back into the sky, soaring alongside . yet, even as his hands lightly brush over familiar scales, jayden feels it too — the sharp sting of regret, the bitter taste of failure.

[break][break] i'm sorry.

[break][break] vodnik's sorrow mirrors his own. the winds have calmed, no longer wild with fury, and his eyes have returned to flaxen gold.

[break][break] how cruel the world is, to bind them to such a fate.

[break][break] how much simpler it seemed before, the fragments of a dream that were unbound by such burdensome emotion.

[break][break]
[attr="class","cp cp-snowflake"]


[break] he touches his ear, reaching out to the channels where he knows those like and are assuredly listening.

[break][break] "admin cross and bee here — alive and enroute to the city. stay on high alert; we've injured morningstar, but she's fled and is headed your way."

[break][break] his expression grows steely cold as they make a beeline for the city's crater.

[break][break] "and prepare for impact.

[break][break] "it seems rayquaza is descending too."

[break][break] no doubt to join the fray alongside it's primordial kin.

The din of war rang loud against the rock and sea. [break][break]

KYOGRE's ORIGIN PULSE — with its incredible concussive force — was enough to send MOLTRES spiraling down toward the turbulent waters below. Through the dizzying fall, held fast to his patron as it attempted to right itself in the air. As they neared impact, he could feel the spray of an angry ocean on his skin just before the LEGENDARY BIRD'S wings unfurled and sent them aloft once again.[break][break]

Unfortunately, in the chaos following the crater wall's collapse, and were able to escape into the city. watched as their silhouettes disappeared into the mist and an unwelcome god descended from on high.[break][break]

They'd failed. As flew over to idle beside him and contact other operatives, Barnaby could still feel the intense hatred simmering inside of him, stoked by CHIEN-PAO's presence. As if feeding off this energy, MOLTRES let out a low, sinister hiss, its carmine flames flaring around its body.[break][break]

"We need to regroup and reassess the situation." He called out across the storm toward , adding grimly as RAYQUAZA loomed ahead, "Things have changed."
