YOU WILL BE PUT TO REST.

He’s no stranger to the sight of SPATIAL REND, but while the first time he had encountered the move he had been far enough to avoid great harm and had even had kyle lopez’s healing abilities on his side, this time his injuries would have been grave if it had not been for the Hatterene that broke out of her pokéball and stood between him and the blast. She acted as a shield and fainted as a result, her purpose served.

Attacks upon attacks. A Primal Point fired. Souls returned to this mortal realm. He sees Moltres’ flames, he sees the ‘V’ shaped sign, he sees the four eerie creatures, and much more than that. What he does not see, however, is the pair of souls that have an exchange deep within Mount Pyre’s woods, far from its summit. A dark haired woman kneels before the long lost shield that is the Marzán family’s coat of arms to this day, slowly being restored to the broken carapass that had been stolen by Martín del Mar and that should be nowhere near this place. Natalia asks one thing of Ancile, her voice a whisper as eerie as this spectral form of hers: protect him.

It’s not thoughts of them that fill his mind at that moment; not thoughts of the blood that flows through his veins and of what has been lost because of them. It’s thoughts of the here and now; of the Unown, of Palkia, of the meteor, of Hoenn, and of the people on this mountain that he’d rather not to lose. BARNABY FINCH, Cillian Quinn, Tempest Quinn, Adrian Malcolm, Rowan Wrynn, Remiel Calcifet, and perhaps even a couple among the League’s ranks as well. What are they all doing? Have they lost their minds?

”Stop. You can’t just use violence to solve every fucking problem.” If Team Rocket comms were to work again, they might hear Mars’ voice and the anger in his voice. If not, they would perhaps see him looking up at the meteor and then turning his gaze towards Palkia and the Unown. The being of space withstands attack after attack, as do the symbols that intend to hold it captive. Do they really think they can break the chain of Unown without harming Palkia itself? The sight is familiar, and it is tiring.

”If you’re really here, if you’re really watching, then do something about this. Free Palkia.” This time, his voice is but a whisper, not spoken into comms but meant for someone much different. Mars does not wait to find out if the Being of Willpower hears his call or not. Instead, he TELEPORTS over Palkia, quickly creating a levitating platform to stand on – high enough to avoid the attacks aimed at the Unown.

"Palkia. We’ve met once." Not really. If anything, the Lord of Space had blindly attacked him when he had attempted to open an Ultra Wormhole. Had Palkia known who was responsible for that? ”Work with me and I will do what I can to set you free.”
[break][break]
The words are spoken so Palkia doesn’t lash out at what comes next, for his attention turns to the chain of Unown then. The Unown-? floats by side always and through its gaze Mars sees what he himself sees as well. There’s only one answer. Time and again, when Unown are concerned, there has only ever been one answer: one way to work with them.
[break][break]
”UNOWN. I AM YOUR ARCHITECT. LISTEN TO ME.” Where had he gotten that from? It just feels right to say it, and it's through his psychic connection to his own Unown-? the Mars attempts to communicate with the rest of the symbol pokémon there. He attempts to change their destination and intent. He attempts to get them to take Palkia somewhere safe. But, where would Palkia be safe from the Dark Triad, from the League, and perhaps even from Team Rocket? Nowhere in Hoenn. Nowhere in this world. The choice is based on the elimination of other options.

Of all entries written in the Unown Report, one rings loud and true through a psychic bond:
