's devices had significantly narrowed down the places that his quarry could be.[break][break]

Tempest absently tapped on his hip as he looked over the data gathered so far. Some of it was still a little above what he could understand on his own. Yet Tempest understood enough, understood that lines might lead into the monster's den.[break][break]

"Thanks for helping me with this." Tempest said, suddenly, to his partner in this. was the best stealth agent that Tempest knew. If anyone could sneak in and out of this place without getting fried or possessed it would be them.[break][break]

They had three points of interest today. One of them was sure to be the nest. It was just a matter of finding out which one.

To be in the Border is a strange experience. On one hand, they find themself feeling as though they shouldn't be here. The living walking in the land of the dead must break some sort of rule, they're certain - but they had yet to hear of anyone or anything that might actually enforce this.

On the other hand... There is a certain curiosity, in it all. They can't help but wonder what could be found here.

They wonder if their mother is somewhere out there.

As Temp speaks up though, they blink - glancing over to him. And offering a small soft smile, they'd nod in response. "When you find Yveltal's... Roost, or nest I suppose, what do you plan to do next?" They ask. Surely, it wasn't going to be as simple as just walking up to a death god and asking for it to join them, right?

And even if things came to blow... How does one kill a god of death?

At their side, Tsume and Erebus both gaze out across the horizon. They had brought a number of pokemon effective against ghost and dark types with them in preparation - and also brought Erebus with, to sate its curiosity as well. Though, they had a feeling that the Deoxys was somewhat uncertain for much the same reasons they were.

All the same, they were prepared to investigate the three points of interest alongside Tempest - and hopefully, it'd bear fruit.

asked a very valid question. One Tempest wasn't quite sure he had the answer for.[break][break]

"I'm bringing in at least one SPECTRA agent. might also be willing to help, but I've not asked yet." Talking to about it hadn't even crossed his mind yet; Temp would be reluctant, if only because he didn't want to risk his husband getting hurt if making contact went down the shitter.[break][break]

But he did know at least one thing.[break][break]

"I'm going to ask it to join us. If it refuses, we take care of it before it becomes a problem."[break][break]

It seemed very crass to word it that way. Yet, what more could they do? If the League got another feather in their cap, especially after the loss of Xerneus, then it would make it even harder for them all to win this war.[break][break]

A sickly, yellow fog started to roll in on the distance. Tempest frowned at it.[break][break]

"Looks like the ghosts are starting to get active. We should be careful."

Makoto nodded as Tempest gave his response; although, the question that they mulled over before bothered them still. "How do you fight something that rules death?" They asked - half to themself, half to Tempest. If it ruled death, could it rule itself... Not dead?

They had a feeling that trying to think too hard on it was a ritual that'd break their brain a little - though, the Border provided a worthy distraction in that regard.

As the fog rolled across the horizon, Makoto furrowed their brows in thought. They wondered if it could be avoided, or blown away by a pokemon in the event it got too close. They figured the latter thought was not worth testing unless they had to, though.

So, with another nod, they'd recall Erebus - not wanting to make the psychic-type have to put up with ghosts - and in its place, sent out Kuro.

With the Zorua and Zoroark both out, Makoto's hope would be that a layered and cooperative Illusion would help conceal the both of them from view; not unlike when Makoto helped and two other Rockets stealth their way through the Mechanical Kingdom, once upon a time. "Stay close. It'll make it easier for them to hide you."

And with that, they began moving - aiming for the point of interest that was least likely to send them waltzing straight through the fog. They'd rather this take a little while but be safer, than take risks just to save time.

"Well, the being of 'life' died, so I'm sure we can find a way."[break][break]

It was quite the paradox, though, wasn't it? Something with infinite life had died. Surely, just because Yveltal was the being of 'death', it also couldn't die? Was it a deathless being inherently? Why would something that was so closely tied to dying be granted eternal life?[break][break]

Tempest did not pride himself on being the type to think about that stuff too hard. If Yveltal refused them, it's life would end. How that happened would just have to be found out in the moment.[break][break]

"We'll just hit it a bunch and hope something sticks."[break][break]

It sounds easy when he says it like that. There is a hint of fear that leaks into his voice, though it is well hidden under forced confidence and indifference.[break][break]

The fog thickens, though the two of them aren't in it yet. It seems almost alive in how it moves.[break][break]

"Thanks. I think the closest objective from here is... this way." Tempest points out vaguely into the distance. It seems like some crumbling ruin sits as a pinprick where his finger lands.

Makoto wasn't sure how much one could make it 'stick', but they nonetheless nodded along to Tempest's words. All they felt they could really do, short of risking their own life alongside him, was pray that he'd be okay. They'd survived being amidst the crossfire of gods - surely, he'd survive this as well.

Nonetheless, Makoto follows Tempest's directions - moving for the indicated ruins. "Let's give the fog a wide berth... The more I watch it, the more I don't like it." They speak softly - letting their path stray a bit to the side, so that they could keep a healthy distance between themselves and the roiling golden clouds.

The less they disturb or make themselves known to the locals, the better, if you asked Makoto. And if staying away from the fog and playing it safe made this trip last a little longer, then so be it; they didn't want any unpleasant surprises.

"Hm. Good idea. It might be a Delusion." Tempest says, without explaining what that means at all. His eyes are kind of far away, a frown on his face as he stares off into the slowly growing pinprick ahead of them.[break][break]

The field they walk through starts to grow moist. Not all at once, but a gradual change as if walking through a swamp. Small puddles of faintly green liquid sizzle and bubble, making an obstacle course for them to poke through as they move.[break][break]

Tempest's frown deepens.[break][break]

"Something isn't right about this."

Makoto is left in the dark - though they don't need any elaboration from Tempest to catch on that whatever a 'delusion' was, it was bad news.

Instead, what really catches their attention is the change in scenery - the faint emerald that dots the earth. They trust in Tempest's gut instincts - and taking a brief glance around them for any clues, they question "... Should we take a different path?"

That'd be their first go-to; they could see themself going above with a flying pokemon, or otherwise just taking a wider berth to coast around the edges of it... Although, they'd rather not rely on Erebus to lift them if they could help it.

They still find their mind jolting back to Mossdeep, when they felt its tendrils so much as brush against them.

Tempest glances down at the reading before he shakes his head.[break][break]

"We can't. This place's geometry is all weird. We'll end up somewhere completely different if we try." It was one of the most annoying things about the Borders. After you had a destination in mind... it was like the place sensed it. You just had to endure whatever was on the way there or you would never reach it. It was a living maze.[break][break]

There was nothing they could do. No ritual to try and overcome these obstacles.[break][break]

A shame.[break][break]

A great yowling, then. The cry of a woman as she screams for her life. It's so sudden that it has Tempest jump, head whipping to as if to make sure the sound didn't come from them. But, no, it's too far away- and just head of them.[break][break]

The fog parts just enough for them to spot the cause of the noise.[break][break]

A Golurk. It's huge, easily towering over them. Tempest is reminded of The Iron Giant in scale. Of the power of Regice when used it to full potential. A massive shield is on it's back, spiked and rusty looking. A woman, a ghost, is clutched tightly in it's grip.

So there was no other way but forward... Makoto sighed - supposing they'd just have to be careful, as they picked their way around the pools of acidic liquid...

... But, there were far more pressing things coming their way.

Namely, in the form of a Golurk. It is a massive thing, larger than what they were used to - most definitely larger than Atlas, the rare few times that brought it out in the past.

What in the world was this thing? Was it the closest thing to judgement in the Border? And what was with that ghost that it had in its grip??

Makoto was a bit frozen in place by the sight of it all - only having enough thought to make sure they weren't about to be crushed underfoot. From their shadow, Kuro growled - the little Zorua having peeked out enough to glare daggers. It was readied to act, if the Illusions weren't enough for the titanic Golurk to pass the group on by.

The Golurk ignores them, eyes shining coldly down at the ghostly woman in it's grip. It only lingers for a few moments before it heaves a massive arm over it's shoulder- slamming the woman into one of the spikes. She explodes with a pained shriek, blood splattering onto the shield as she dissolves into a fine mist. There is no body left behind, only the splattered remains of what she used to be.[break][break]

Slowly, the behemoth turns it's head to stare down Tempest and .[break][break]

"Oh. Fuck." Tempest takes a step or two back, panic rising in the back of his throat. A hand reaches out to try and grasp for Makoto's shoulder. "Run!"[break][break]

Because Tempest knew they could never best this creature, only slow it down.

The Golurk is horrifying.

What did it just do? What happened to the ghost of that woman? Was she simply gone? No more? The concept of death was existential enough as it was. What of the concept of a second death? Could they have done anything to stop that? Maybe they should have - it isn't as though they didn't have two pokemon who had the advantage in a fight against a ghost-type - but it's so massive, and-...

... And it is gazing down at them, as if it could see through Kuro's and Tsume's illusions completely.

It takes Temp's hand on their shoulder before Makoto is moving with him - "W-what is - that isn't a normal Golurk..!" - and Tsume and Kuro both are quick to act.

Tsume looses a Night Daze - hoping to disorient the Golurk - as Kuro releases a Bitter Malice to try and slow it, as both foxes move with the group.

The Golurk is eerily silent as it starts to stop towards them. Only the rumbling of the ground shaking under each massive step, the creaking and groaning of mechanical limbs as they churn to follow. The Golurk does not run for them, only walks with the steadfast assurance of something that can not be outrun.[break][break]

The attacks cause it to stagger backwards for a moment, miss one step, but like the machine it is it continues to move.[break][break]

Tempest reaches out for @maotokurumi's hand. To grip it tight as they run, regardless, from this creature.[break][break]

"I don't know exactly! It just cleans up the real stubborn ghosts it catches! But..." Tempest glances back at it. He moves his own legs, then shift his head forward to try and look for anywhere to hide. Something that could keep it away long enough for it to lose interest. "it can't tell flesh and blood from the ghosts!"

Makoto squeezes Tempest's hand as they run, able to keep up with him without too much trouble. But for all of the running they were doing, the Golurk's sheer size allowed it to at least tail them with relative ease.

This wouldn't work.

Makoto note's the darting of Tempest's gaze - and they, too, would turn their attentions to their surroundings. Somewhere to hide - or, to at least lose it. Somewhere like...

"... There!" Makoto pointed with their free hand. The terrain - it was rugged and uneven, but they should be able to traverse it a bit more easily than the Golurk would be able to. A chance for them to lose it, or otherwise buy time for a better solution.

But even as they moved, Makoto glanced to Temp - another thought occurring to them. "What pokemon did you bring - any that can carry you, and fast?" Tsume could carry themself just fine - but they didn't want to leave their friend in the dust...

Hand in hand the two of them dash through the flat lands. The bubbling pits from before, green and stinking as they were, might provide them a moment or two to think and escape from the lumbering titan behind them. Each step rattles the ground under them, small stones bouncing along with the vibrations.[break][break]

Tempest grits his teeth and shakes his head.[break][break]

"Most of my pokemon are water based. And I'm actually" The briefest of pauses. "... afraid of heights."[break][break]

Admitting a fear is embarrassing. But it was less so when death was staring them down.[break][break]

"If only one of us can escape, you go. I can lead it away from you."[break][break]

Unless, of course, could find a way for both of them to lose the Golurk.
