councilwoman morningstar, i must insist that you - 

we still need to run some tests; we can't discharge - 

you have horns, councilwoman. we need to make sure that -  

- freya!

her chest is wrapped in a thick layer of gauze. her face is oiled with salves on the marks around her mouth and throat. the rest of her is patchwork, skin pressed with medical tape. a little bottle of prescription pills lay on the bed in her hotel room, quickly abandoned after gathering her gear and her pokeballs.

but after three years, after this final, horrible sacrifice, she will finally return. not undercover, not skulking around the edges, not through the back door. 

lyune's glorious red wings stretch a shadow over ruined houses. as soon as she alights on the ground, draconic flames billow from his maw, against the estate's front doors. they unlock and gold-inlaid stone yawns open, inviting its master home.

The Morningstar estate used to be, and still is to some Sootopolis citizens, a place of veneration. Protectors they'd called it. Despite the loss of their city and the the fleeing of their dragons. But their reputation served his purpose well enough. The abandoned estate is left to his whims, and after breaking into it, he'd claimed it as his own. [break][break]

After all, he needed the contents to be left immaculate for his own research. He'd knows to have come here a couple of times but never since defecting. May as well. Neon taken over and would've been happy to fight the lightning wielder again. As many times as it took to put that bitch into the ground. [break][break]

The Morningstar estate since, had been his to roam. After many search, with ghosts, with tech, with his own dragons crawling through and chasing cold, old smell trails, he'd made sure nothing and nobody was left within. And once that was settled, he'd began changing it for his own whims. Pieces of technology lay scattered and hidden within the rock. Drones had drilled themselves into the darkened corners and arches of the well worm caves. Specific doors had been ripped off their hingers, creating specific drafts to allow air flow for his technology. The deeper within the heart of the estate one traveled, the more of Neon was visible. Aesthetic changes like mirror or lights that didn't require torch and oil. Cushions and curtains crudely ripped off by another pokemon and dragged to make different impromptu nests, pointedly ignoring the couple of brand new pokemon beds left on the cold ground. [break][break]

The whirr of fans and the unmistakable LED glow of lights. Neon had taken residence, moving in computer equipment and furniture with his own team. He'd let his dragon roam, the giant lizards finding the estate to have resting and playing places that a dragon understood intuitively. He'd let them roam as he continued typing and flipping through old tomes.
[break][break]

A little goomy burbled and floated nearby on a makeshift pool. Neon can see his pokemon, glancing down a hall to the right every so often to see the little dragon type playing and amusing himself. Activity at the front sets off various drones, waking them up form their slumber as noise and movement activates little apertures. Neon gives a look at the screens before doing a double take. "Aw fuck, she's not serious is she?" he said groaning in irritation. He'd just been on the cusp of triangulating a coordinate he might be able to find more draconid information on Kyurem. He turned his head to call for his other pokemon. "Get ready for arrival Tango." he said to the Baxcalibur. He adjusted his helmet, before pointing as a collection of books and tomes. His telekeneis does the heavy lifting, capturing and moving all the old pages to him as his Baxcalibur crouched protectively in front of the large computer set up. His fingers whizzed on the keyboard as he began to set up a backup for all the information he'd managed to collect. [break][break]

From what he'd seen about the councilwoman, she wasn't one to talk. Even during their truce, he could tell the woman was as unhappy as the rest of them to call the ceasefire.

when she'd come through one of the secret entrances from the bluffs, it had been on the upper floor, almost directly into the family room. her bedroom was only a hop-skip up spiral stone stairs. and even then, the place had been untouched (for the most part). rifled through, some valuables taken, but unsettlingly otherwise as it was.

part of her expected the same. 

so color her surprised when lyune immediately bristles, baring fangs as soon as the scent of intruders hits his tongue. that surprise has her tugging her sword from its scabbard, arm snapping out to split its blade. plex shoots from one curved end to the other, stringing to a bow, and she nocks an arrow with a grimace. 

lyune passes her, head tilting with frills extended from his head, listening to the scratching and clawing and breathing of that which dwells in their space. 

and she is privy to exactly how much of her home has been molested by rocket in her wake. rage is a fire in her veins. old oak doors, older than her father was, torn from their place. walls carved by the ancestors of countless dragon keepers before her, mutilated. 

she's greeted to her late father's study, completely gutted and transformed. lyune's head snakes through the threshold where double oak doors once stood, too large to squeeze through.

but she does. her golds flicker from the baxcalibur, to the goomy, and finally to the person - no, avatar, standing nonplussed and waiting. 

"get out."

"Escheatment." Neon says, his electronic, high pitched voice hiding a laugh. Small wings flicker to acknowledge Freya's entry but Neon for the moment part is still busy, typing away. The Baxcalibur covered for him, large but still small enough to squeeze through the arches lies in wait. Gonzalez, his little Goomy peeks through the open doorway out to Freya and Lyune. [break][break]

He's curious, but not quite excited to encounter new people. Especially not when they don't see m the friendliest sort. [break][break]

"Did you know, the Morningstar estate is in the process of being taken by the city mayor? Since it was abandoned and all." he said, swirling in his chair, as he bought himself time. "Well anyway, don't think it's finished, but you still have some paperwork to file holy draconid emissary of Kyogre." he added, not a lick of seriousness in his words. [break][break]

He picks up an old, dark green tome. Despite how blatantly he'd invaded the ancient home, the tome was pristine. The only thing bookmarking pages were small plastic transparencies with a couple of sticky notes attached. [break][break]

"I'm surprised how lacking your books are though. Lot of diary entries but not a lot of big picture stuff." He knew how certain family members had been day to day. He knew weird specifics about riding a Salamance versus a Noivern. He even knew how to maintain a balanced diet for a dragon. All good information. His pokemon had certainly benefitted from it. "Contact with other draconids seems limited or lost to time. And no bones to speak of for analysis either." Hopefully, with his rambling and Tiramisu standing guard, he'd buy himself enough time before he really needed to skedaddle.

it's a pile of shit, made to make her angry. property taxes, after all this time, have leaked from her bank account, and the morningstars may have passed, but their legacy remains. political figures themselves, she's fairly certain theodore had dined with the mayor himself. 

but it's been three years, freya.

three years for rocket to appeal to the masses, to place its own agents in local government, to sink time and money and resources into ensuring these people never take them back. 

the state of her books is what stays her hand. the morningstars come from keepers, handlers to the draconid lineages that she'd thought had died out. theodore was a practical man; much of what the rocket has read regarding the logistics of raising dragons probably came from him. 

her mother was the one enthralled by fables. 

but those books had been procured by before the intrusion. she sends silent thanks to him. her arrowhead follows the avatar's movements. 

"we safeguarded traditions and culture, not scientific breakthroughs," she scoffs. it gives her an inkling, though, to what's in front of her. 

information. they may have exhumed the corpse of her abandoned home, but they have also brought a wealth of treasure ripe for the picking. she takes a step closer and looses her first arrow to test the waters. 

her skin itches for a fight, prickling at the seams. somewhere, up in the clouds, her patron sends a warning. freya closes her mind and the cape on her sygna suit fills with red life instead.

"you want draconid bones?" she says. "come and get them."

"You're as dumb as you look if you think anthropology can't lead to scientific break throughs." Look at him after all. An art history specialist running his own scientific program. Research was research. Studying old civilizations, how they lived, how they acted, might lead to interesting discoveries. Like, a possible difference in genetics inherited in draconid blood. But...they'd have to compare really. And that would require tracking down bones and blood. Sootopolis may have people with smatterings of it in them but...who's to say. He didn't have any samples, who who knows what he'd be looking for in the thousands that lived in the drowned city. [break][break]

She steps closer and his Baxcalibur does nothing, but when she notches an arrow the beast growl, frills straightening up as he bared his fangs to the draconid. "Chill, Tango. Freya wouldn't destroy her own home." He warned, spinning the chair back to the councilwoman. Despite their bond, Neon was unlike . He would not engage with Freya if he didn't need to and he would not be taking a chunk out of her neck. [break][break]

Mainly, because he still had to waste her time while this upload pushed, and it was ticking ever so slowly, stuttering at a good 78%. Tiramisu stays put but Gonzalez rolls and bounces behind his big brother, shaking but ready to PROTECT at a moments notice. "Put that down and I'll give you a copy of what I've transcribed. Before you ruin all your brittle texts."

they don't take the bait. in fact, they don't seem put off by freya in the slightest. it makes her bristle. it makes her angry. her sygna suit flickers; her patron's consciousness brushes hers more forcefully, dampening fury and rage with a reminder of all that hangs in the balance. 

but to stain her image any longer, to know that someone might see them walk out, unscathed and intact, after squatting in her home for years, is maddening.

the books, touched by her father's hands, make her hesitate.

"freya might still destroy her own home if you piss her off enough. why would you give me anything? feel bad after taking my city and squatting in my home for years?"

He holds a tome in his lap. Despite his spinning, Freya would realize he hadn't been kicking off the tech aorund him, but more so pulsing ever so slightly with pale blue light as his own telekinesis spun him from monitor to monitor. He leaned on the old wooden desk, legs criss crossed on the computer chair. [break][break]

"Fuck no." Neon said, his face plate changing as he let out a bark of laughter. The electronic sound pulling an excited burble from his Goomy, who by now had begun climbing up onto the Baxcalibur standing (laying) guard. Like his trainer, the spherical dragon glows with hidden power ready to unleash but not quite grasping the tension of the situation. If his trainer laughed, he laughed. [break][break]

"You're nothing but a family that lived a long time. The mediocrity of surviving." he said cracking his knuckles absently. "Am I supposed revere them for knowing the tricks of a trade?" he asked, big smile getting smaller as he sneered at Freya. [break][break]

"At least Morningstars has a skill. A Zinnia like you? You're just a burn out with a blood defect playing savage." He leans back in his chair rummaging through some papers. Specific stacks of books, all with carefully placed post its and annotation. A sort of time line of documents. He then glanced at the back up and spun himself back to Freya. [break][break]

"You're a dying breed, Councilwoman. Literally. But the history of draconids is entrenched in Hoenn. And Kyurem is coming back." his wings flutter as he shrugged. "What the fuck are you gonna do about it?"

lyune growls lowly and freya tilts her head. unlike her dragon partner, she can't sense the psychic energy like a bad taste in the air, but she notices the way their chair moves. the books had hung in the air, but she'd written it off as a show of bravado, but to see their powers used so nonchalantly makes her instantly feel outclassed.

whatever storms she'd summoned or warded away during the assault would never manifest as easily in a setting like this. even the winds, she's sure, she would struggle with. 

she eases the tension on her bow and irritably shoves her arrow back in her quiver. 

"we did more for this city than your ilk ever have," she spits back, jaw setting. she's felt lost before, and recently she's felt more found than ever, but now, with the rug ripped out from under her, every word laden with their insufferable superiority makes her smaller.

"you - know my lineage," she says, brows furrowing. it took her a trip to the damn border to find her last name. the question on her face betrays her. 

frost prickles the back of her neck at kyurem's name. the growling beside her is not lyune; it's that ever-present nightmare, always one step behind, always following. her fingers twitch. 

"put the monster back where it came from," she says icily. "like we've done before."

He laughed again, more pleased that she's put down her bow than anything else. But he's got kept her talking and that is a plus. No missing neck chunks today. "Congratulations, you capitalized on the lack of aid from your government and filled a niche that should've been addressed by the League." he replied. "Then you led Kyogre into Sootopolis, displace hundreds, and tried to save face with a truce." The agreement was not ideal, and he understood there was something more about the way Walsh had disappeared during battle but regardless of those specifics, it wouldn't' change their reality. Sootopolis was cleaved in half, its streets filled with crystalized salt. The ring of white marble destroyed, and the Xerneas tree gone. And of course Kyogre locked up in the cave and Freya, the League's new emissary. "You're a glorified babysitter. A stop gap. You can't protect anything." [break][break]

"'Course I know your lineage. I know everything about our elected officials!" he said, voice so cheerful it doesn't betray how true that statement really is. He scratched at his helmet, gloved fingers digging to one of the sections left slightly open for his head wing to curl out of. "It's relevant to containing Kyurem." [break][break]

"C'mooon. How'd you get this job again? Nepotism?" he asked leaning forward again on the big oak desk, prodding at the woman. "As far as we know, Kyurem will pact with Hoopa again. That thing is hungry, and your dragons are in danger." The sheer magnitude of Kyurem hadn't fully hit him. A part of his mind suppressing the existential horror of a creature of that magnitude. The only thing that could defeat it was itself, judging by the NEVERMELT and how it disappeared with it's own stolen blaze. "Draconids have to have more history with Kyurem right? Not just, 'Kyurem, white terror, abyssal hunger incarnate, shell of the Original Dragon.'"

her eyes flash as a twisted truth falls digitized behind their masked face. her stare is calculated, ignoring the prickle of irritation from his jab at her family name. it's all meant to get a rise out of her anyway. but this means - 

walsh didn't tell his higher-ups? or at least, his 'beasts?'

what would they think of him, then, if they knew he'd lured the league to him in the first place. if they knew he invited them into his city to wreak destruction, knowing at the end of the day, only a truce could be had. 

"the draconid sect my lineage comes from was founded in sootopolis. my ancestors revered rayquaza." but lived in unova for some time and though he hadn't known about freya, about his blood, maybe he knew something

"you have the light stone," she says. "and it touched kyurem. can't you trace it back?" her hand goes to ghost a black scale that's no longer there, returned months ago. that's how they pinpointed rayquaza's location in kyurem's realm.

"or do you need the league to solve all of your meddling affairs with the gods?" she says cryptically, lip curling over a sharp canine.

"Ughh." Neon groaned, dramatically, turning away form the screens and resting his head on his arms as he stared at the councilwoman. "Right, right the green noodle..." he gesturing at the air, pulling up another tome carefully annotated with an assortment of rainbow colored sticky notes. "I suppose if you're so localized that you'd only speak to Hoenn, I'll just pay a visit and pull what I need from him." he suggested before setting the tome back down with care. He'd moved his head up to rest on his palm, casual as he turned his LED eyes back to Freya. "Or, you could just tell me what I want, and save us both the trouble." [break][break]

As he pulled at her lineage he looked back when she suggested the LIGHT STONE. "You don't read the shit you're given do you, Councilwoman?" he rolled his eyes, emphasizing it just to piss her off. "That won't work either. The LIGHT STONE and KYUREM weren't connected for long." couldn't have been more than 10 minutes really. He didn't remember, the adrenaline making him thinkin a million miles an hour. [break][break]

"You're not solving anything, remember?" he replied back. "You don't even know what's in your own house, let alone what's going on in your region, Nepo Baby. Let's not forget Miss 2 Term Combat Ops who's only action is a ceasefire and a city lost." He did not let Freya forget who she was sassing. Not for a second. Even if the lapse might risk his technology. When not cooped up around the upper brass he'd speak as plainly as he liked. And besides, he had a feeling Council members rarely got this treatment. And who was he to deny the humbling of his elected officials?

"you stay the fuck away from roy," she snarls, fangs bared. her cousin could protect himself; he's a zinnia, after all, but she'll not have him used as a plaything by a rocket beast. not this one, especially, though she's sure her quick-to-anger cousin would be able to give as good a tongue lashing as he gets. 

it's a wonder her teeth don't crack from how hard she's gritting them. nepo baby. 2 term. ceasefire. city lost. all of her failures are shoved to the forefront of her mind; the back of her neck warms with humiliation and anger. 

"kyurem's eaten another universe's rayquaza," she says slowly, brows furrowed, eyes like slits. forking over any information makes her stomach hurt, but terse words accompany slow, warning steps forward. "and it hunted ours, but it failed. and whatever rift it hopes to claw through will be held fast by our palkia."

"Or fucking WHAT Freya?" Neon asked, letting out a cackle as he slammed his hands and leaned forward on part of her father's old well worn desk. It's sturdy nature only served to deepen the sound of gloves hitting varnished wood. "You'll try to rip my throat out?" As if he'd let her. He wasn't crazy. [break][break]

"And it only got bigger huh?" He settled back down in thought. Easily carrying on after his insults. He drums his fingers on the desk as he thought. "It eats but it's not like it doesn't have its own energy signature." Then again, it was thought to be just an empty vessel but sentient. Of course all it did was eat. [break][break]

He snorted at Freya's insistence and her patron were their ticket out of another glacial disaster. "She barely sent Kyurem packing. Palkia may be the keeper of space but I have a feeling Hoopa can outclass it." Because Hoopa's power doesn't come from the laws of physics. It stemmed from worldly desires. Something had happened during METENO that had unleashed Hoopa's true power and he has no idea what. He just knows that a deal was made, and now Hoopa was off its leash. "You don't understand it either. You're reactive, which makes sense with someone who just floats through life." he stated, taking another jab.

they test the limits of her patience. a headache grows behind her temples and rayquaza presses insistently into their connection as they taste her growing anger. freya takes another step forward, but this one is done so with tensing shoulders, a setting of her jaw. 

neon carries on, digesting the information and spitting back out that which she'd gifted them. no matter. let them underestimate ; they're fools to do so.

freya considers her father, and what he might think of the bastardization of his home and of her mother, and how she would weep at the desecration of her holy place. a dragon would not bow down, and would not cower, and would not sacrifice the material for their pride. 

her sygna suit's hum is her only warning. rayquaza bangs at the bars of her mind, but she shuts them out, needing a different sort of power now, and it flows through her, crawling hotly up her throat.

their last jab isn't met with a scathing remark, but a scorching bout of flamethrower from behind her own teeth.
