There are those who would argue that they should have been back in Sootopolis.[break][break]

Yet the city was still a damp pustule, rotting as it dried in the sunlight. Exposed it would bleed until the dry-rot was frail enough to snap. Basements were still flooded with still-water, slowly becoming filled with fever and disease the longer it was not pumped out. A creeping submechanophobia stilled in rusted pieces that lay threatening and sharp in the once white-sand bay.[break][break]

Regardless of how it might feel, they had shit to do. Tempest had promised declan walsh this task done. Weeks of effort culminated to this. The questioning of Adrian Malcolm, the attack of Thomas Benoit, the scouting of ameena abadi, Makoto Kurumi, oscar clayton, and Grigori Sokolov. It would not go to waste.[break][break]

Today Yveltal would come with them. If it was of it's own volition or kicking and screaming? The outcome would be the same. Death would be tamed for the Glory of Rocket.[break][break]

"We're almost to it's nest." Temp calls out, low; he is sure that if Cillian Quinn. howard slayte, or Hitoshi Inoue's ears didn't catch it, the comms would. [break][break]

The deathless plane of the Border stretches endlessly before them. Twisted lakes of acid crossed, ghosts with cold touches reaching out accusatory, and it had let to this- a twisted spire of rock balanced precariously on a large cliff side. It could be seen in the distance. From here, they couldn't see the half-hidden hole that yawned into darkness.

Petalburg is a wreck. It is buried in sand.

Yet Howard was here instead, digging among the corpses of yesterday instead of attempting to salvage today and tomorrow. It was the exact inverse of his typical mode of operation. He had wanted to enlighten man on yesterday so they could prepare to face tomorrow without his help.

Such a thing was not possible.

Not when faced with this.

"This seems risky." The admin teleported in blips across the Border, appearing from one stone to another with the power of his Sygna Suit and Claydol's ability to teleport. "High chance of us getting killed."

When facing a god of death, a 'high chance' was expected. Hopefully it wasn't guaranteed.

"Cillian, follow my finger." He appeared next to the underboss in a quick flash, his hair pulled into a ponytail and soundly placed under his iconic cowboy hat. He pointed at several distortions in the air. "I set up the Stealth Rocks you wanted. Try to avoid getting shredded."

The source of the rocks sat dormant, waiting for its call.

Petalburg was buried in sand. Sootopolis was recovering from the ocean's flood. Mossdeep was lost.[break][break]

Cillian's mood reflects these facts. He is silent and cold as they trek toward the Border, wishing more than anything that he was back home, instead. Except there was barely a home to go back to. His basement laboratory had escaped the floor thanks to its airtight seal, but the rest of the house was in ruin.[break][break]

He finds himself here, instead, the designated bait for a creature of death.[break][break]

It only made sense. Yveltal hated Shadows, and so it has always hated him. Such a sentiment is mutual. He'd rather see it killed than captured, but Declan's will superseded his own. They'd bring it in alive if they could. But if not? He'd revel in its destruction. Let it join Xerneas in hell.[break][break]

"Three on one, with legends on our side. We'll be fine."[break][break]

His response to Howard is gruff, though for once his ire is not directed toward the Admin. Fox had earned Cillian's respect through reports of how he'd handled himself in Petalburg.[break][break]

Amber eyes dart between the camouflaged rocks, and Cillian nods.[break][break]

"Watch my back," he tells all of them.[break][break]

Then he slips between the rocks and tosses a Beast Ball high into the air. In a swirl of shadow, Lugia takes to the skies, a haunting cry of challenge echoing through this place between life and death.[break][break]

Around them, more shadows take form. All of Cillian's cursed brood, a gathering of those who'd defied Death. So large that Yveltal was bound to feel their call.[break][break]

And with any luck, answer it.

He has no sygna suit. He has nothing save his wits, and some would call that narrow. Today, it will be enough.[break]
Among the pokeballs hanging along his chest, easy to grab, easy to throw, is a special one bestowed upon him by Admin Fox. Primordial ice is his to command, though it is not the first card he means to play.[break]
While the others are in low spirits, Inoue Hitoshi looks centered. His eyes are clear. He stands straighter than he did before. Though Yumi Hasegawa’s casino is gone, she lives. All those he cares for still breathe. This god of death holds no sway here.[break]
His mind thinks a few steps ahead. Having been told their plan, the agent made it his mission to study their foe. Adrian Malcolm was once blessed by the Shinigami. There are records of it left in Rocket’s archives. Those he studies, or has Alba Evovae read to him.[break]
Dark-type. Flying-type. It augments the power of darkness. A dangerous foe, and one he must prepare for. They will trap it in ice and sing to the beast fae songs. That will be how they carve a path to victory, for the glory of Rocket.[break]
When they near the great one’s nest, Hitoshi unsheathes his katana. The Hasegawa Muramasa comes alive in the presence of the great shadow, Lugia. Empowered and emboldened, it spreads a fell shadow screen across them all. The umbral hunter hungers, waiting to see if the Shinigami will answer their call…

"No one's going to die." If Tempest said it with enough conviction it might even be true.[break][break]

In truth, Tempest is loathe to use his own husband as bait. To drag howard slayte and Hitoshi Inoue to this cursed place was bad enough. To bring Cillian Quinn should have been divorce worthy.[break][break]

The Shadows come to their master's call.[break][break]

Lugia's presence is a reassurance. It is a beacon. The shadows, literal ones, shift and moan in the area around them. Flat, rocky, with a hell of a drop ahead of them. Yet still that cavern twinkles like a beacon.[break][break]

"Hold!" Is called, Tempest raising a hand. Under him, Compass snorts and kneads a hoof into the cracked earth. The Firagarif pushes forward at Temp's urging, circling around the gathered group. Cillian and Lugia may have been the bait, but they would not be the first thing that the Destruction pokemon saw when it made itself known.[break][break]

The signal raised, Howard and Hitoshi would know what to do. While usually Cillian and Howard outranked him, on the battlefield Tempest's rules would supersede. He was one of the warriors of Rocket. He was the one who would command here. This battle would be his loss if it turned sour.[break][break]

From Tempest's pack is pulled, of all things, a firework. The long red drum is printed with some mark of Lulu Flint. A favor, something so far under her skill-set it should have been an insult to ask. No one knew bombs better than the Head Scientist. It lights quick, smoke boiling as Tempest raises it over his head, holds it upwards with stark confidence.[break][break]

There is a whir, then a dull crack far above. A moment passes before a dull explosion rings in the air. A crowning shower of red sparks glitter and crackle in the air, leaving only smoke behind. The tube still bleeds smoke when he drops this invitation to parlay on the ground.[break][break]

And in that half-hidden cavern, watchful blue eyes narrow. Wings stretch before clawed feet kick off the ground, dead wind catching with a few powerful pumps of red and black wings.[break][break]

In the distance they would all see it: Yveltal, headed straight for them.

On the battlefield, the admin is a cog in a greater mechanism. It's a comforting sensation, though it grinds in conflict with the admin's fear of the battlefield and the fear of those around him.

Tempest Quinn has not earned his forgiveness, yet. It is only by virtue of his request, the desperate hope to be seen as loyal after bashing Elisabeth's corpse against stone, and the mutual agreement that he shares with Cillian. Their mutual contempt is what binds them after a year of fear and a moment of abuse in Eternatus's bowels.

Hitoshi requires none. The dog comes barking when dog food fills his bowl. It's why he has been blessed with ice for this battle.

"Here we go." The words uttered to bryan delarosa and Adrian Malcolm about the circumstances of life and death flash in his mind. It's time to see if they mean anything. "See you all in hell."

Assuming there is one, beyond this constant torrent of spirits and death that mankind calls the Border.

As Yveltal soars close, there's a flicker, then a flash. Hidden rocks emerge from the distorted air, and the flapping of Yveltal's wings sends them careening in every direction. Several find their mark, even as it flies on. Rage is a powerful motivator, especially when tempered with hate.

Beneath the Harbinger, the ground rumbles. Seven dots appear in the ground by his feet, familiar from his foray into the Desert Ruins from years prior.

⠗⠕⠥⠎⠊⠝⠛ The pattern flashes. The ground begins to shake as Yveltal grows closer.

Indeed, had anyone other than Tempest Quinn (or perhaps Walsh himself) asked Cillian to serve as bait, they'd find themselves facing down the barrel of his gun.[break][break]

But Temp hadn't asked. He hadn't needed to. Cillian had been the one to offer, with the somber argument that hatred was sure to draw out the aspect of death. It was a bleak necessity.[break][break]

In the thrill of fear inspired by the beating of death-black wings, Cillian knows a rush of excitement. He'd throw himself into the fray in a heartbeat. Fear was his motivation, his kryptonite, his fuel.[break][break]

Tempest Quinn commands they hold. Cillian doesn't move.[break][break]

Lugia's wings stir up dust and shadow, a hurricane answering the Guardian's call. It shields them from splintering rock that's sent forth by Yveltal's flight, and from the avian itself.[break][break]

SHADOWS twist into umbral tentacles that lash out toward their quarry, aiming to HOLD Yveltal fast and PREVENT ITS ESCAPE. Though the inky tendrils do no harm themselves, they silently threaten a certain outcome: it would hear them out, or it would perish.

“C’mon.” Growls the dog while their Underboss serves as bait. A god’s eyes stare out at them from its lair, come to answer the challenge of mere mortals. Inoue Hitoshi has no intention of dying here today. Today is not the day he dies, not for this, not for Rocket. It is a job, one he has studied, one he can, he must, overcome.[break]
You killed us. A passing soul whispers. We have died because of you. Our souls languish here for you, killer. Dog. Monster.[break]
Formless souls, passing mist near the layer of their reaper, whisper these harsh truths into his ear. Hitoshi bears his teeth. Now is not the time for regrets. Regret can come later. He can cry himself to sleep, thinking of all those who have died by his blade because Rocket or Yumi deigned that they must die.[break]
If Tempest Quinn, Cillian Quinn, or howard slayte so will it, then death too will die. Two red flashes sound. Ancient ice and old ice mingle. Gramps, his Lapras, is an old creature, tired of battle. Yveltel will come and visit him sooner rather than later. Regice’s yellow dots read out a message that is a mirror of Regirock’s.[break]
“Blizzard.” Says the dog. Gramps obliges, his breath as cold as the northern wind. It whips all around them, trapping these combatants and this Shinigami in a veil of ice. Escape will not be so easily granted, nor will they have the luxury of retreat.[break]
All or nothing. A king’s gambit.

The earth shakes, shadows shiver, and ice whip in the air around Tempest as the reaper made flesh descends. There is annoyance palpable, though if it is at the summoning or from the bad conditions they are inflicting upon it, Tempest could not begin to guess.[break][break]

Yveltal does not land, only flaps great crimson and onyx wings. The necrotic winds push and pull with the beat, as if the whole of the Borders is a thrumming live-wire around the embodiment of death. Electric blue eyes stay locked onto Lugia and her heathen band of Shadows, then flick down to the human who dares stand between them.[break][break]

"Yveltal!" Tempest calls out, loud, baritone voice carrying an authority and presence he did not usually try and force. The confidence of it did not waver or shake, even as his own brown eyes locked with those blue. Any nerves had been brow beaten into place for this very encounter.[break][break]

Yveltal waits, though Tempest does not know if it is curious or simply toying with them to plan an attack.[break][break]

"Xerneus has been killed. We come to have you join us and take revenge for this crime."[break][break]

What was left the tree had been washed away into the sea. There had not even been a piece of the body to bury left from Tempest's understanding. The League had forced it's life-force to end. If they had left well enough alone, it would still be standing proudly in the middle of Sootopolis.[break][break]

"Will you continue to cower here in the Borders, or will you fight with us to right this wrong?"

TEMPEST X CILLIAN X HOWARD X HITOSHI

THE POKEMON OF DESTRUCTION BEHOLDS THE ROCKETS with fearsome wings. Clawed obsidian, the arbiter of death continues waft howling winds: a desolate anthem for this thanatoid realm.

Xerneas is dead.

But not the one that it has known personally for eras.

Still, without the presence of a Xerneas in this region, the crimson devil possesses little restraint. The Yveltal senses the lives these Rockets have taken directly or indirectly—and like a vampire craving blood, the bird dives toward them to attack.

if you really think that you can stomach me

POSTED ON Oct 4, 2024 6:18:01 GMT

There are moments that remind Howard that Legendary Pokémon are not gods. They're just powerful entities that were fallible in their world-crushing strength. Yveltal was a representative of an eternal mechanism of the world. All things eventually died and returned to dust. It was a predictable process.

It made Yveltal predictable too.

"Alright, get to work!" The admin shouted as the bird encroached. Hidden Stealth Rocks appeared, shredding the avian's wings as it fell for a trap too delicious not to spring. It desired Cillian's flesh with more gusto than any member of the Pokemon League.

Amusing, how fundamental enemies were more opposed than those made by circumstance.

"Me and Beast Inoue will make sure it doesn't flee." Howard snapped his fingers, and Regirock's pattern glowed bright as Gravity intensified, forcing Yveltal to exert itself to stay afloat. Not that such an act would save it for long. Yveltal's blindness had brought it into an unescapable trap. Three Legendary Pokémon were too many for any one to wage war against. "Get ready for the biggest ass-kicking the Borders has ever seen!"

Even death could die.

Eventually, it would fall to earth. Eventually became imminently, and imminently became now.

"Easy target!"

GRAVITY cares not for allegiances, and it drags at Lugia's beating wings just the same. But she has no wish to flee this place nor avoid the battle to come. The ground trembles underfoot as the leviathan lands, her snake-like neck curling so she might bare her teeth in challenge.[break][break]

But she does not attack.[break][break]

Not until the Yveltal, silent as the grave, makes its intentions clear with a deathly dive.[break][break]

Trusting GRAVITY and STEALTH ROCKS to hold Yveltal here, Cillian's arm cuts through the air and then draws in close to his ribs, miasmic tentacles retracting under his command. The SHADOW HOLD is released, but this is no mercy. The Harbinger grits his teeth as he feels his own energy rapidly draining, knowing the others would feel it as well. SHADOW HALF sharply raises the stakes.[break][break]

Only Yveltal is alone, and there are three other legends afield that must fall before the arbiter of ends can bring these killers to justice.[break][break]

The earlier HURRICANE glitters now with fey energy, and a SPRINGTIDE STORM seeks to challenge Yveltal's steadiness in the sky.

“…fuck.” The beast grunts, feeling the strain of his own body unraveling under the Lord of Shadow’s attack. As bad as he feels, he knows his Pokemon must feel worse. Regice stands steady, but only because the automaton possesses not the means to overtly voice its pain or displeasure. As far as this dog is concerned, a tin soldier is nothing but a tin soldier.[break]
“Ya heard yer real master.” Says Inoue Hitoshi to ancient ice. It seems to answer in the affirmative. Drawing a tera orb, he decides to start this battle with a bang. His orb explodes against Regice, draping it in dazzling color before it emerges drenched in hyperborean glory. A crown of ice rests atop its head, its birthright and its charge all in one.[break]
“Avalanche.” So he commands, and so Regice answers. Rocks atop the lair are flash frozen before blood can pass through the human heart’s four chambers. Before he draws in a breath, frozen rocks tumble down upon Yveltal. It descends, and rocks descend after it. Regice directs the ice down upon the legendary arbiter of life and death like a conductor might direct a symphony.[break]
“Ya sure I can’t keep this guy, Fox?!”

[attr="class","hitoshi-notes"]❖ Note for Shiv: Magnetic gave me permission to use Regice for this thread.
❖ Lapras and Regice are out. Regice uses Avalanche after Hitoshi terastallizes it into an ice-type to boost its ice moves.

It doesn't even bother to reply before going for their throats.[break][break]

Disgusting creature.[break][break]

Tempest whistles, sharp and loud. A signal given. howard slayte, Cillian Quinn, and Hitoshi Inoue are already on it. The pressure of Gravity crushes as Cillian's shadows rip into their own life force. Tempest had already been tired before this. He had been struggling to sleep for weeks now due to the ill feeling of this confrontation. The sapping of his and Compass' life only make it harder to think. The sharp tang of adrenaline is all that keeps him clear-headed. His Sygna Suit burns to life under his clothes, steam rising as it floods his core with Infinity Energy.[break][break]

The destruction pokemon flaps desperate wings to stay aloft, screeching as stone and ice work to shred and fey winds unbalance. Yveltal hist the ground with a thud hard enough to shake those around, a great cloud of dust rising with it. It only obstructs vision of the legend for a moment. An oppressive Dark Aura clashes with Lugia's Pressure, sucking the breath from Tempest due to his proximity. There is a crackle of red lighting from inside the cloud, then Yveltal tears out like a beast. Jagged black claws rip lines of dirt from the earth as it forces itself forward, jaws sparking a Dark Pulse to push those around it back. It shrieks out another angry cry, hot blue eyes locked onto Lugia.[break][break]

Tempest finds himself thrown from Compass' saddle from the blast, skidding on the dirt as Yveltal narrowly avoids crushing him underfoot. Compass brays, rising up to kick her front hooves as electricity sparks off her body. She slams herself down as it passes, a Thunderbolt arcing off her body to zap at the Legendary. The Firagarif kicks off, chasing after the crimson pokemon with galloping hoof-beats.

🔗 temp is disappointed but not surprised that yveltal decides to be a bitch. The Gang manage to drag it down to earth with the trap but it ain't stopping yet. it charges lugia and uses a dark pulse on everyone. temp is knocked off his pokemon and almost trampled. he's positioned somewhere roughly behind it now while compass is chasing down yveltal to help kick it's ass
