ALL OF THE DANGERS [break] HAVE FAMILIAR FACES

[break]

[attr="class","mix-cerbmidtop"]

[attr="class","mix-cerbpost"]

There were many ways to find injured people; you can follow their cries for help, follow the trail of blood or stumble upon them. You'd be surprised to see how many people quietly hide away with their injuries, like torracats, just to die away silently. Today alone she managed to stumble on a couple like that, some were too late to save-- so it didn't instill a lot of confidence when she uncovered a nearby secret rocket base to find blood smeared near the entrance.[break][break]

Evening was rolling in, and Naia was running low on supplies. It was why she even choose to head towards one of the bases in the first place, but it wasn't instilling any confidence in her that this would have much to give now. Pulling up her face mask, Naia would quietly made her way inside, letting her Eevee take the lead in case it wasn't a Rocket that found themselves here, it's little ears twisting at any slight sound from within.[break][break]

"Excuse me.." flatly she would say as if casually inviting herself in someone's home. She just wanted to notify whoever was inside that she was approaching because the last thing she needed to was to get hurt from any possible friendly fire, as even her Pokémon would give its own yip as it'd confidently stroll deeper in.[break][break]

While at first Naia was cautious and tense, when she managed to clock the person before her wasn't just any Rocket but Jayden of all people, she couldn't help but relax and go into work mode. She was quickly assessing the situation before she approached, at the very least the amount of blood didn't pose any life threating situations, but who knows how much of it was internal bleeding. "Where exactly are you injured?" She'd recite, sliding her satchel off as she'd follow it onto the ground to take out some supplies, including some alcohol to quickly wash off her gloves. [break][break]

Naia didn't know if she feel comforted by the fact that it was someone she knew, or if she should be upset that someone she cared about was hurt, "Are you injured anywhere else?" She did her best to pace her questions, waiting for him to answer the first one before the next, if he answered them at all. To her even a no answer was one in its own right, "What happened?" a loaded question in itself, but one that could buy her enough time while she'd finished getting everything ready, now with scissors in her hand as she'd test them out with a couple clicks.

[break][break] as one of rocket's higher-ranking members and a ruinous avatar no less, there was no shortage of enemies that would've loved to see the rocket admin bleed. or perhaps it was just a result of the corruption finally reaching it's end-point. perhaps dionysus' future had finally come to fruition.

[break][break] the bloody chalice had finally overfloweth.

[break][break] "n..aia?"

[break][break] his voice cracked as he blinked up at his friend, foggy vision fading. BLACK CRYSTALS lined his skin, the armor that normally covered his body torn to pieces. or perhaps it was armor itself that had torn him to pieces.

[break][break] it was impossible to tell.

[break][break] around him was a slew of dead league bodies, all slain. pokemon too. amongst the corpses, some would be able to even see his own pokemon — umbreon that were torn to shred, duoblades that had overspent their use, a litwick who's flame was barely still flickering.

[break][break] it hopped closer - pitifully so - to the rocket grunt, to provide her a source of light in all that darkness.

"n..aia?"[break][break]

She felt sick, a twisted feeling of anger and fear in the pits of her stomach, the last time she felt anything similar was when Ashley Shepard faked getting shot in her training, but this.. this wasn't fake at all. who-- Naia bit down on her bottom lip catching herself from saying something in the heat of the moment, she could see whom, or hopefully see most of them, one such body she'd just carelessly kick to the side to get in closer to Jayden.[break][break]

"Yeah, I'm right here." Her voice almost sounded foreign from how tense her voice was a second ago, but right now she needed to be calm for him. "Clare.." Naia would almost speak in a hushed tone as she'd nudge an elbow in the direction of his Litwick. With a gentle nudge from her Eevee's nose into the body of his Litwick's, multicolored sparks twisting into the air as it casted wish before it would lay down beside it and coil its body to hold it in place.[break][break]

"what.. are you doing here?"[break][break]

Now for Jayden, scissors isn't going to help against this.. blender of a suit, to put it lightly. At least it was easy to see where she should be focusing on, as she'd take in a deep breath. "I'm sorry, but this may sting a bit." While she spoke she'd pull out some pliers, making sure to remove any shards of his armor from him being sure to pour some alcohol over his wounds. "I'm here as an on field medic, I figured the fighting here would be worse.." [break][break]

Once she managed to get this part cleaned up, she'd grab a bottle from her bag and washed over the wound, moving onto sewing his wound close. "I'm glad I found you. Just please stay awake, I'll get you pain killers soon." There had to be some inside the base somewhere, once she had him sewn up some more she could grab it. "How long have you been like this? Did any escape?"

Shit. [break]
Blood was getting into his lungs, and while she could use her Pokémon to try and heal him right now there is a good chance that they would just seal her surface wounds, turning him into a human blood balloon instead.[break][break]

"when did you become a medic?"[break][break]

When? Despite him respecting her in that moment, Naia couldn't help but feel sad. How much did he not know about her, how many years of her life has she kept from him. Not that it mattered right now, all she needed to do was patch him up and then they could talk later. It was just as she had finished up a stitch did she suddenly get shoved.[break][break]

"i don't need pain killers."[break][break]

Naia was in shock when Jayden spoke, her Eevee jumping up to it's feet to growl over at him in a defensive posture as he pushing himself to stand up. "Wait, Jayde--" Her voice was obviously panicked, but even while her mind was racing she still waited for him to finish speaking. Half of her just wanted to chew him out, what he was doing was stupidly dangerous where by the end he could end up permeant injuring himself or worse bleeding out and dying.[break][break]

But on the other hand, could she really argue with him? In the end it didn't matter if it was a maybe, or if he was completely wrong-- on the field he's her superior. That wasn't in question. If he told her to jump, she'd just need to say how high and manage to make it back alive. It should be simple if all he's saying is to follow.[break][break]

Frustrated, Naia would grab onto one of her pokeballs, tossing it down on the ground hard enough that it bounced first before releasing her Shadow Thievul. "Okay.. If I can get a scent on them Nat can track them, if it's strong enough then she could follow them to the ends of the world." That probably wasn't even a hyperbole.[break][break]

Swiping her items off from the ground, Naia would shoot a glance over at Jayden, and more importantly his wounds, a tinge of guilt that she's even going along with this instead of forcing him to stay back, "I could probably get Clare to heal you some, but it would take a while.. Can you promise me that if we find where they are and we're safe you'll let me finish. It's not good." Just as she finished talking, Nat would rush out the exit of the building, seeming to have a target on something that managed to escape out and was on the move.

[attr="class","postbox"] She cared about him. That much he knew. But what she didn't know was that the pain that she worried so earnestly about was nothing — not in comparison to the betrayals that threatened the foothold of their organization, not in the comparison to the feeling of someone like Ashley Shepard stabbing him in the chest. And especially, most of all, nothing in comparison to the feeling of fern delaney breaking up with him.

[break][break] And he had only just recently gotten over that heartbreak.

[break][break] "Fine," he said, after several minutes of contemplation. "But only once we secure the base."

[break][break] Blood dripping from his arm, he reached for his belt. He reaches for a pokeball, no different from the others on his belt with a Rocket-emblazed insignia, with the exception of a band that was deeply stained crimson. An orb appeared in front of them before shifting into the sight of his SHADOW SABLEYE manifested.

[break][break] "Nastja, lead the way."

[break][break] The pokemon's gaze snapped to Naia Kayode, the sight of her mirrored in his bejeweled scarlet gaze. It's ruby sclera gleamed for a moment, before darting down the path — far speedier than the admin would be able to follow, so the man hooked his arm with Naia's, as they lead their way down the path.

[break][break] "It'll be two more. I've already locked the exits and entrances, so they'll have no choice once we corner them."

[break][break] Because what was the point of fighting this fight — of working so hard that he would let himself bleed — if they could not secure that win?

[break][break] This was the reason they fought.

[break][break] For Rocket.

Once he finally agreed then did Naia sigh of relief, it wasn't much given the situation, but at least it was something. A small win. "Thank you." Truly, from the heart, as Naia watched blood splat on the floor when he went out of his way to summon another pokemon. It was moments like this when Naia really can't fathom why people even bother to question of the loyalty that rockets have to one another.[break][break]

Really only the weak would leave Rocket.. [break][break]

Once.. Nastja paused to look over at Naia, there was a moment of silence between the two, Naia knew of shadow Pokémon that volatile, aggressive, and at worse uncontrollable. Then again this was Jayden's, so she had nothing to worry about. Once his arm hooked with her own, Naia would reach into her satchel and pull out her firearm checking to make sure that it would loaded before offering it to him.[break][break]

She knew that he was probably more than capable of doing something crazy after becoming an avatar but.. with the state of his injuries perhaps this would be better to use. Even offering herself further as support for him, even at the expense of rubbing into his sharp armor so that he could have a better crutch to lean on.[break][break]

"It'll be two more. I've already locked the exits and entrances, so they'll have no choice once we corner them."[break][break]

"Sounds like a plan." This was far better situation than most missions, and at worse Naia had all of her pokemon still left. "I still have other pokemon too." she'd say as she'd eventually recall her Eevee, before she'd take the first step of moving him with her, being sure that he was supported with each step. "They're expendable compared to you.." Even though she was confident in her words she still said the in a hushed tone, especially when she thought by to how she found him.[break][break]

In the end she wondered if it was the same for him, maybe not towards her but towards Rocket in general, which begged another question, "Did you come out here alone?" Perhaps there were more important questions, like what pokemon did they use? Did they have any injuries? Did they follow him in there? Or did he get jumped? But none of those were really at the top of Naia's mind.

[attr="class","postbox"] He shakes his head and her attempts to console him.

[break][break] "No. You keep it."

[break][break] This close to him, she would feel the HATRED that emanated from his very being. A HATRED that run so severe and so deep that no armor would be able to defend against it.

[break][break] Well, except that of childhood fondness.

[break][break] "I have my own weapons to use."

[break][break] She glanced at him — and there was barely a shift in his expression. A frosted canvas that was forever unerred with emotion. But perhaps she might be able to notice it, the softness in his expression, reserved for only those who cared for him — and who whom he cared for in return.

[break][break] Beside him, one of his ghosts manifested. This time, twin blades in the form of a DOUBLADE.

[break][break] "But I promise, I won't use the ones who harm me."

[break][break] At least, not until he needed to.

[break][break] Sure enough, they made their way through another hallway. It was quiet in comparison to everything else, the bunker's walls doing well to muffle the clash of war outside.

[break][break] SCRTCHHH.

[break][break] SCRTCHHHHHHHH.

[break][break] The sound of something scraping against a nearby door. No — the sound of Nastja's claws scraping against a metal door as it drags it open. A SHADOW PANIC pulses wildly through the forced opening, blasting forward like SMOKE.

[break][break] "WAIT, WAIT - DON'T KILL US - WE - "

[break][break] Jayden grimaces as he attempts to quicken his steps.

[break][break] "Naia. We've found them."

There was something about what influence Jayden put around him, this uncomfortable feeling to Naia that bordered along the line of fear. Perhaps it was because she knew innately that it stemmed from a being far larger than she could ever understand and a beast that was too dangerous to be this close too. [break][break]

"I have my own weapons to use." [break][break]

Still despite all of that, Naia knew that with the small glimpse she managed to catch on his face, it was just Jayden underneath it all. If anything, in a weird and twisted way, this only further solidify her desire to grow a lot stronger so she doesn't even flinch at whatever powers he may have.[break][break]

"But I promise, I won't use the ones who harm me."[break][break]

"I appreciate that." Naia would fidget with the gun in her left hand as they walked through the walls, while out of the two it was her weaker side she did make sure to practicing firing with both hands in case she ever lost one of them in battle. A small perk of constantly doubting yourself meant that you just have contingency plans for when things inevitably went wrong.[break][break]

By the time his Sableye was in sight, Naia's Thievul would have been patiently waiting by the door, letting the horror scene go uninterrupted as the door was forced open. It did know better than to just rush into battle seeing how it would be at a disadvantage against two, but even so it wasn't the type to not take advantage of the confusion and smoke created by it's SHADOW PANIC.[break][break]

Their pleas would fall on deaf ears and soon was drowned out by the horrifying SNARL, it's goal while focused in on the trainer it was hunting with its ABILITY, it's focus was to rupture the hearing of it's target, and having the resounding echo would catch any Pokémon and trainer near by as well to make communication between them weaker.[break][break]

"Naia. We've found them."[break][break]

She didn't reply verbally but, instead taking a moment to swoop down under his arm so that she could help support him in getting over to the fight faster without straining his body too much in the process. By the time they made it to the doorway was when Naia seen an injured Simisage finish landing what looked to be a third blow from a series of FURY SWIPES on Nat. Seeing how one of their Pokémon was at least busy, Naia didn't waste this opportunity to take aim at one of the trainers and shoot.[break][break]

A sickening crack as she missed her mark on the top of her head and instead cracked against bottom jaw, and irritated sigh left her lips with the same indifference one would have as if they missed a shot as a carnival, and almost with the same amount of embarrassment that would come with it. A tactical retreat from Nat to Naia's side had her already getting ready to make another pounce, signally with a low growl and her furr begun to stand on end.[break][break]

"Can you hold still this time so it's quick."

[attr="class","postbox"] The carnage was ruthless. And as jayden cross watched his childhood friend and her pokemon descend onto them, he felt no shortage of PRIDE and respect for her.

[break][break] People may not have considered Naia as bloodthirsty a killer as himself or perhaps the likes of THEO BECKETT or Cillian Quinn, but Naia was the same as them. Raised by Rockets, in the throes of the organization's relentless open hearth, there was no other option for people like her. People like him.

[break][break] 'Please, please! I'm innocent! I don't - '

[break][break] CRACKKKKKK.

[break][break] "You're not innocent," Jayden snarled, as he appeared out of the smoke. He may have appeared grotesque in such an image, the black crystals on his body causing him to bleed. But the power hurt him as much as it protected him, fueled by the HATRED undoubtedly flooding his very being. "Any person willingly conscripted to the League, to defend their falsehoods, is just as criminal as anyone else."

[break][break] Behind him, his Doublade raised to the air. They gleamed a bloody crimson hue before a ROCK SLIDE crushed them and the remains of their bones to smithereens.

[break][break] "And it's time to pay for your crimes."

If you were to ask Naia how she felt about winning this battle, she'd probably say nothing. Thinking back on the missions and battles she had up to this point, Naia was steadily coming to understand that a piece of her was missing from her, something she saw far clearer in Jayden's words. Passion. Drive. Reason.[break][break]

People like Dorian found pleasure and joy in the work he did. Ashley before Naia left Hoenn even felt purpose, and while Isaac was always on the fence he at least strived for a goal, but what did Naia want. Rocket was just simply is for her, nothing more than the air she breathed-- but is that loyalty?[break][break]

To Naia, Jayden's words of spite were only for himself, the mangled bodies crushed underneath rubble of his Doublade's attack couldn't respond back, little alone hear what he was saying. Did Jayden really believe that they were the law? Was the world that Jayden see that much different than Naia?[break][break]

Still as the adrenaline begun to die down, and the gravity of reality was settling in is place. "How are you holding up?" Naia's concern was evident, especially as she'd quite literally drop her own weapon in exchange for getting her medical bag ready. "We should continue here. It's better than moving you around too much." [break][break]

If Jayden so pleased, Naia would opt to prop his body up against the wall so she can get back to finishing her work from before hand. "You promised." She'd painfully add to further entice him to listen, much like a child upholding those words as if they were the law. At least with this, Naia was far more confident, years of her life in medical school wouldn't let her own compared to only the couple she had in rocket proper. [break][break]

However the longer she worked at his wounds, and really seen the extent of the damage a pit of ugly feelings welled up in her stomach, "Do you always disregard yourself when you fight?" It wasn't even by design that she vocalized her thought, her mind was so focused on her work that it was more like she was speaking to herself than really him, but from the way her lips pressed into a tight line. It was very obvious that it upset her.

[attr="class","postbox"] It was nothing.

[break][break] Perhaps someone else would have felt a crude sense of disgust at the sight of such wasted bodies, but Jayden had done this too many times before. Naia probably too. People like them, who had been raised with such heavy-handed discipline, had seen worse than a pair of bodies buried into soundless rubble.

[break][break] When he turned back to Naia Kayode, however, rather than feel relief at knowing their deed to be done — all he felt was exhaustion. He fell limply onto the wall, allowing her to do what she needed to stabilize his injuries.

[break][break] "I'm fine."

[break][break] But he could already feel the adrenaline fading, and the pain seeping in.

[break][break] How he wished that fern delaney were here to stave off the pain — or bryan delarosa. At least, back when he'd had Xerneas' blessing. Acts like this were so much easier when he'd had the other man to rely on.

[break][break] 'But you'd used him,' a voice inside his mind needled. 'Until he was no longer of use. Isn't that right?'

[break][break] "I did promise," he relented, grunting as he settled against the wall. Blood seeped through his uniform, but the BLACK CRYSTALS had already closed off any fatal wounds. "But I made a promise to Rocket as well."

[break][break] 'Do you always disregard yourself when you fight?'

[break][break] Tiredly, he leaned against the wall.

[break][break] The answer was obvious, and not one that he felt needed answering. But because it was Naia, he thought he would give it to her.

[break][break] "It was the way we were raised," he said simply, voice devoid of emotion. There was no hate, no resentment, no begrudging disdain. No, this was the lot in his life that he had thought he had secured — his bond to Chien Pao only cemented it. He would've been a sword to Rocket regardless of the Ruinous Beast's interference.

[break][break] It was only merely with this new-found power that had given his life additional meaning.

[break][break] "If it means Rocket survives, then I will do anything."

[break][break] But was that true?

[break][break] He thought recently of his recent reunion with fern delaney. He thought of the way that they had once fought on the Border, and how stubbornly he had defended his stance against theirs. How unafraid he'd been of dying.

[break][break] But now — now it meant more than that. Now, after the ritual with TING LU, he knew that he could not just die — not until they did what needed to be done.

[break][break] "But don't worry, Naia. I won't die."

[break][break] Yet.

[break][break] "I promise."

[break][break] And if not for nothing, jayden cross was a man who kept his promises.
