After visiting the Cocoon at Mt. Pyre, something had compelled Thomas to accept the pact. Perhaps it was the fact that it may as well have been the Cocoon of Destruction he had heard of in stories. The visions he had been presented were consistent with what he had been told, with the Tree of Life, its opposite, being referenced. Though it could've been a trap, what it had done to him, and those in attendance, was not something he believed a mere man could orchestrate.

Which brought him, and @bean to the Lower District of Slateport. One of the "marked", a gangster, who had managed to escape death in the confusion caused by Rocket's Invasion of the City over a year ago, was harassing the businesses barely recovering from the aftermath of everything that had happened. Needless to say, the two were in it together, and had a plan to give them some air of plausible deniability.

Wearing shades, to not only cover his bad eye, but the Shinigami Eye that had been granted to him by Yveltal, Thomas took to the shadows. He'd let Gemma step in first, intervening on one of his attempts at strong arming a shop. Given his history of violence, he was most likely going to attack her, prompting a self-defense situation. From there, Thomas would step out to help his friend.

As the man, marked by the fact that he had color, as opposed to the grey masses that walked through the area, made his way towards the nearby shop, Thomas waited in silence. He could only hope that Gemma would be okay before he stepped in to finish off the scumbag. On the other hand, he questioned if he could really go through with this act. Even if the man was scum, and his death was truly necessary to restore balance, Thomas had never killed anyone before, and despite his violent ways, was reluctant to take a life.

[attr="class","beantext"]Gemma's nervous.
[break][break]
Not because they're possibly about to kill a man - okay, most definitely going to kill a man - but also because the last time she was in a situation that was dangerous... Truly, life-threateningly dangerous... She couldn't remember a single thing about it, other than running. Burying a pokemon - getting to Yveltal.
[break][break]
Her eyes, unhindered by glasses or anything of the like, scan the crowd, settling on the man in colour. The rest of the people around her blur like shadows, passing over floor and wall as if they weren't actually there - they don't actually exist.
[break][break]
Her feet begin to carrying her across the room, and she takes a deep breath as she reaches the man, squinting at how bright he seems in contrast with the world around them.
[break][break]
"Excuse me, but you shouldn't be here." She says quietly, her hand resting on her hip as she watches the man carefully letting go of the chromatic beaten black-and-off-grey shopkeeper. "You don't belong here." Gemma states again. Her espeon waits by her legs, tail wrapped gently around one, to steady her.

As the man was practically slapping around the shopkeeper, he would notice someone step in. The man would turn to face a woman and her Espeon, before letting the shopkeeper go. The gangster looked on with annoyance at the girl as he carefully approached her, attempting to use his size to intimidate her. All the while, his Mightyena snarled at the Espeon.

"Mind your own fuckin' business, lady!", the gangster bellowed. "I don't know who the fuck ya think you are, but this is my turf! Now fuck off!", the man yelled, before turning to find the shopkeeper, who had bolted to the backroom the first chance he got. The man would attempt to kick in the door, only for it to be barricaded.

"Open up, ya little shit!", the gangster bellowed out.

[break][break]
When he gets in her face, Gemma doesn't move, his size merely serving as an observation, but not a definite pitfall. One good strike, and she'd be set. He may know how to throw a punch, but Gemma knows how to survive.
[break][break]
With his back turned, Gemma's hand finds her hip. She glances at the Mightyena with a specific disdain, before letting her Espeon deal with it. Not too harshly, but enough that it topples on it's side after its mind is invaded and shown horrendous things.
[break][break]
Gemma comes up behind the thug, a butterfly knife slipped from the utility belt on her hip. She swings it around her fingers until it's fully open, before holding it firmly in her hand.
[break][break]
One good strike. One good strike.
[break][break]
The man turns around, just in time to see his pokemon laying on their ground, unconscious, and Gemma standing there with her knife. His hands come up, reaching for her throat. They wrap and press and bruise, and Gemma is...
[break][break]
Calm.
[break][break]
Her hand raises, a tear streams down her face, and she slams the knife right into his jugular vein. The man staggers back, and when Gemma pulls the knife free, blood spurts and splatters on the floor, on her face, on her clothes. He swings for her. Gemma holds her throat and tries to breathe, and rasps out for Thomas to come in - to help her.

If the man were smart, he would've backed down when his Mightyena was brought down by the Espeon. Failing that, the fact that the woman was brandishing a knife would've been enough to make him run away. But for some reason, the fact that she was not only armed with a knife, but that she had a Pokemon on her didn't deter the thug from trying to strangle her. And for that, he got a knife to the neck. Perhaps in a last moment of defiance, he tried to take the woman with him.

How he managed to avoid his intended fate at the hands of rival gangsters was truly a mystery.

As the man made his attempt to harm the firefighter, Thomas barged in, summoning his Alakazam from his Pokeball. "Back off!", called out Thomas. Ignoring him, the man once again attempted to attack Gemma, only for Freke to grab him with a Psychic hold, and fling him back away from her. While the shock of the impact was nowhere near enough to really harm, let along kill the man, the fact that he took his hand off his wounded neck just long enough for blood to spray everywhere was ultimately what did the crook in.

Thomas, attempting to keep up appearances, rushed over to the man, ripping off a piece of his shirt, and attempting to slow the blood spray. Meanwhile, Freke went over to Gemma, to see if she was okay. As the Alakazam checked in on her, Thomas watched as the man died before his very eyes, his efforts to save him for naught. Just as it was expected.

As the clerk peeked out, he would see Thomas holding the piece of cloth over the man's neck, and Gemma with the Alakazam and the knife. Thomas turned to the man. "You, call two ambulances, now!", he ordered.

He could only hope that Gemma would be okay, and that she wouldn't be in too much trouble for this.
