It isn't for a few somber moments longer that Derek witnesses any attempt by Adrian to signal his life is still his own. And though they are 'enemies', there isn't much satisfaction in the current prospect of his passing...
[break]
[break]
But there is a small sliver reserved for when Apollo shifts, acknowledging Adrian's motion towards his Arcanine. There was something picture perfect about a happy ending, enough to allow the turmoil of the past to be cast aside for the time being.
[break]
[break]
Watching quietly for a moment longer, Derek only speaks again when a thought occurs to him. "...Are you gonna be able to make it out of here on your own?"

It was quite a tumble down that cliffside, which said nothing of the injuries taking place before the fall. Reluctant to draw attention to himself, Derek hesitates to follow - only growing curious when the second wraith chases down after Adrian's assumed corpse. Why Apollo showed any concern, he didn't know.
[break]
[break]
But as the dust settles, it becomes clear that Yveltal feels it's work here is finished. When he stands to look over the edge, the Charizard is the first thing he can see. As for Adrian, well... He looked pretty fucked up. "...You still alive down there?"

How'd they keep meeting like this? Of all the dangers this place could offer, Derek would've never imagined a scene quite like this. And yet, all things considered, there was a distinct feeling that Adrian deserved everything that came to pass. Even if the ranger was missing a few pages from whatever story was at play.
[break]
[break]
Yet empathy for his enemy hadn't gone extinct, as Derek witnesses the spectral figure of an Arcanine he could only assume belonged to Adrian during it's lifetime. Why else would it come to his defense against such a creature? Even the Marshadow at his side cowered into it's shadows when the doom-driven Yveltal began wielding it's abhorrent strength.
[break]
[break]
Such resolve didn't stem from nothing. Derek could only hope to witness more, as their duel continued to lay ruin to this space between life and afterlife.

whether or not she cared to read the letter mailed to her home and obey their mandate, the league had passed sentence against mel for her unsanctioned 'concerts' and other forms of rebellious expression that resulted in littering, destruction of property, plus some. they had to do something, to set an example - because it was only harmless fun until it wasn't. pseudo propaganda and angry crowds didn't mix well, especially here in the hoenn region.
[break]
[break]

in this case, it was not a heavy hand bearing down on the aspiring artist. utilizing the rangers to fulfill their missive in-person, derek couldn't even view her 'punishment' as punitive. if anything, she was getting off too easy. but he appreciated that (as he was it's messenger), and hoped to discover the source of this...angst, was it?
[break]
[break]

her show was over by the time derek approached, and likewise, many of the fans scattered when they saw a figure of authority - he was once a gym leader, after all. derek's presence couldn't be overlooked, especially since he was in full (ranger) uniform.

Like feathers descended from Yveltal's decrepit wings, Derek arrives in time to witness the FALLEN that have gathered around Adrian. What resembles an Arcanine, as well as... "Apollo?" It was impossible not to recognize his pokemon, which bore scars resembling the separate deaths endured during it's two chances at life. "Adrian, what's going on here - !!!"
[break]
[break]

After the events of CYBERCHASE CONUNDRUM, the EXECUTIONER itself finds no true place for DEREK HOFFMAN among the living nor the dead. He is an OTHER, having been "cloned" by the DRK TRIAD.

[break]
Impacted by some sense of imminent doom, Derek's gaze shoots to the skies for Yveltal - who he assumes to be the one causing this visceral sensation. "...And why do I feel like something just walked on my grave?!" He didn't even have a grave yet, he was still alive! This shouldn't have anything to do with him, right?[break]
[break]
The weight sinking down over his body made the ranger one with the earth. He could barely stay standing, let alone raise one foot after another to continue his way towards the battle that was nigh. At the very least, Derek was able to stave off the sensations overwhelming his gut just enough to avoid vomiting right there.

[attr="class","derek"]

[attr="class","top"]

[attr="class","icon"]
He would've done more, said more, but paxton concordas's forceful hands ~~and tongue~~ leave him wide-eyed and breatheless. Derek would definitely stay out of it next time...
[break]
[break]

hopefully there isn't a next time, though.
[break]
[break]

It was a little more humiliating with all of these people around. And though healed, the sudden dipping motion aggravated a leg injury he'd sustained some month or two ago in a battle against an island of terastilized pokemon.
[break]
[break]

wait, did penny see that?!
[break]
[break]

Derek's gaze spins around the room, noticing her take someone's hand while another(luciano fisk) confronts Paxton about the rather intimate moment they shared. "Sorry, it was supposed to be a joke! I didn't think he would..." A slight pause conveys that Derek isn't even sure what to call it. "I, uh, better get going." As if to say good game for Paxton one-upping his gesture, Derek slaps Paxton on the ass to force them between him and the stranger.
[break]
[break]

And despite the pain in his right thigh, he quickly works a path away from it all. Grabbing a glass from a roaming server as he did, the ranger finds a place away from the crowds. Trying to settle his flustered nerves, the draconid zodiac is a welcomed distraction. He even toyed with the idea of getting a reading.
[break]
[break]

But all he could think about was PENELOPE LIVY.
[break]
[break]

should've known someone would beat me to it...
[break]
[break]

Too many of the people here already had. Ollie wasn't the first. Probably wouldn't be the last. For whatever reason, the night was brimming with ENVY.

REMORSE

POSTED ON Dec 14, 2023 6:22:25 GMT

After everything, she blames him for...standing there?

"That's not how I remember it."

Maybe her time with Rocket really had taken it's toll?

"You looked like a deerling in headlights when that piece of shit came at you." Even with a gun in hand, she should have reacted more than a few steps back...

Especially for someone who was once a head ranger.

"...There wasn't a lot I could do without putting you at risk."

Maybe he should've just taken those odds. But that meant answering to Greyson Connors, which he had no intention of doing. If Anna was his concern, why didn't he accompany her to the Ultra Deep Sea?

"I'm sorry I let it happen, but to say I did nothing..."

That was just wrong.

It would've been easier if they'd just taken him instead.
