Chuchi pummels the Mimikyu and Vatin backs off, waiting for her to disengage before covering their trail with toxic spikes to slow any sort of pursuit.

“I don’t know, but this one is,” Onyx said, switching the unconscious child to his other shoulder. “Maybe it has something to do with-- the terrain.”

His fears come back to bite them in the end: they’re lost. None of the paths that they go down look even vaguely familiar, and he has a horrible sensation that the forest has been growing and changing around them even as they go.

“I don’t think those are normal children,” he says, slowing down to match Andres’ pace, as they slowly come to a stop, back to back, in the center of a small grove. Toadstools grow and pop out of the ground as they stand there, the trees around them writhing and warping.

“What’s the plan, here?” he asks, holding the kid with one arm as he rolls Ignis’ Pokeball across his palm and summons the Ponyta at their side, a small comfort in the face of such strangeness. His voice is tight, but not panicked, knowing it's important to keep a calm head... for now.

[attr="class","mitchel"]Onyx hums a thoughtful note. “Well, no, I guess not. But… I think I have a pretty strong stomach.”

It occurs to him that he’s never actually thought about this before-- the idea of, conceptually, having too much fun. His face drops for the briefest of seconds before Andres is pointing and Onyx is laughing again.

“Oh my god. What would I do with it?”

It’s the perfect size for hugging.

"It’s fucking enormous.” Andres hasn’t dropped his hand as they make their way over to the game stall, and Onyx finds he actually really wants this stupid fucking Rookidee. Because Andres had seen it and thought of him. Because Andres wanted to win it for him. Because-- it was fucking symbolic, okay?

[attr="class","mitchel"]It is, to the observational eye, rather interesting to see how the two of them mesh together; the way they move around each other in Andres’ small kitchen with more than moderate success. Onyx is angry, yes, and Andres is miffed, but they’re not crashing against each other or stepping on toes. It’s comical in a way that would surely incense Onyx even further.

Like they belonged together.

“Oh, well if it doesn’t last that long,” Onyx snaps from where he’s mixing up the dough, squeezing the bowl so tight it’s fit to crack, “then, I guess, more’s the better, huh? Here, taste this.” He holds a spoon of sugary batter out to Andres until he aqcuiesces, then goes back to mixing before reaching for the bag of chocolate chips.

“What do you mean, have a good week?” he asked, eyes narrowed and sounding suspicious.

[attr="class","sam-banner-up-blurb"]The Barbarian looks like your classic roid-headed fighting man, broad-shouldered and bulging with muscle. His blonde fuzz is close-cropped and his feet and hands are wrapped as he waves the crowd into a fever pitch, his Incineroar copying his moves.

The MC has them take their corners. Just before the bell rings to signal the start of the fight, Onyx hears him. A wash of excitement floods through him, but the bell goes off, and he can’t waste time scanning the crowd like a newbie-- he’ll get pulverized, so he reroutes the thrill and hones it into purposeful focus.

It’s a no-holds-barred competition-- Pokemon are allowed to attack humans and, despite how foolish it might seem, vice versa. It’s Telluria’s job to keep the Incineroar from turning Onyx into a charcoal briquette.

They circle each other like wolves, not wanting to commit to the first move until they’re certain of an opening.

The Barbarian bites first, as Onyx knows he will. The thing about only having one eye is it screams HERE’S AN OPENING to your enemies with flashy neon signs, so he knows that’s where the guy is going to come from-- and he’s prepared for it.

The guy steps into his space and feints to the right; Onyx moves opposite him, to the left. His Incineroar is there, opening its mouth to blast a flamethrower over Onyx’s good side-- but Telluria is nothing if not efficient, and she charges across the ring, deflecting the Barbarian’s punch-- his fist ricochets off her shoulder with a horrible crunching sound-- and slamming the Incineroar in the abdomen with iron head driving him all the way back until he hits the ropes, where she tosses her skull like a bull and flips him over it. She’d ducked her head low enough so the blade on her helmet doesn’t disembowel the cat, but instead carves a nice clean slice up his midsection-- deeper than a scratch, but not nearly so bad as it could have been. Up and over the ropes he goes, slamming the six or so feet down onto the grimy tile floor below.

Onyx, meanwhile, has the Barbarian backing away and holding his crushed hand. His wrist is probably broken, too, not to mention his forearm; Onyx feints his own punch, but instead of following through, he shifts up on his toes and spins, throwing his right leg around in a vicious roundhouse kick straight to the side of the head that has the man staggering, spit flying as he goes.

Onyx bounces back and balls his fists, smiling; he didn’t really need to roundhouse kick the guy in the face, but he’d wanted to put on a little show for Andres. It was… nice, having someone important watching.

It’s a glancing blow off his back, the angle of his descent convex with the Mimikyu’s claws and it draws five hot, raking slices through the fabric of his shirt and over the hump of his right shoulder blade. He grits his teeth at the sting of it, but it’s nothing compared to pain he’s felt before.

Chuchi is launching towards the Mimikyu and Vatin is close on her heels, and the two of them set upon the shrieking, angry dual-type like rabid dogs, Vatin crunching the gremlin around its chest and shaking it violently.

Onyx looks down at Andres with a confused look, frowning. “You--why--,” he shakes himself, slightly, realizing there are more important things to do right now. He turns on all fours, launching away from Andres to slide in the dirt next to the sleeping child, whom he scoops up and tucks against his chest, lifting him out of the way of the squealing, squawking melee.

“Come on,” he growls, dropping into a crouch to bodily haul Andres up by his bicep and dragging him back if he doesn’t stand.

The Mimikyu is putting up a fight, firing off a shadow ball in Vatin’s face at close range and knocking the Nidoran back, before turning on Chuchi to savage and pummel her with shadowy claws and a wooden tail using play rough. The screaming is rising to a fever pitch.

[attr="class","mitchel"]He’s knocking his way through Andres’ kitchen on a wing and a prayer and an attempt at conjuring a sense of where things are located because he’s too pissed off to ask the owner of said kitchen for help. Every cupboard that he opens without finding his intended target just piles a log onto the fire, one that Andres is flaming with his nonchalant answers.

Never cared to remember. Is that so. Is that what he thought of him, then? What he thought of them? Just another thing that he never cared to remember-- not important enough to remember, or to bother not fucking other people for.

Andres’ next answer has him turning around in an honest-to-god situational comedy gold moment, and he’s lucky he gets his mouth to shut in time. “A week?” he says, barely keeping the aggrieved gasp out of his tone. “You can’t keep track of the number of people you fuck in a week?”

And Onyx was just one of them, huh.

Woah. Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah. Slow up, slow down, girl.

Why did any of this even matter? Why did it matter?

It didn’t, Onyx decided, as he finally found the cache of mixing bowls and set them on the counter before rifling through his bags for the ingredients he would need. It didn’t, because he didn’t.

He was just another non-memorable number along the span of a week in a lifetime of unimportant flings.

Andres comes up next to him, then pushes past him, walking towards the kid before Onyx can reach out and grab him. “Andres, wait--,”

The child’s form is limp and slightly crumpled against the base of the tree, head shifted forward, chin to chest. Onyx’s stomach drops, at first, but then there’s the shift of fabric as the boy’s shirt rises and falls with deep, stable breathing. He’s alive, at least.

But as Andres reaches for him, the mottled yellow thing whips its head around almost 180-degrees-- an impossibility-- and its skull wobbles like a bobblehead, hastily drawn mouth and eyebrows contorting-- and though the face itself doesn’t truly convey emotion, as its just a drawing on a piece of fabric, the feeling of malice rolling off the thing is palpable.

“Andres, get back!” And he’s launching forward before he can stop himself as a void-black shape curled into a claw reaches out to slash at Andres’ forearm, coupled with a shrill shriek of anger. Onyx grabs him by the hips and forcibly pulls him backward, spinning to put himself between Andres and the enraged Mimikyu.

[attr="class","mitchel"]Andres’ last woo earns him a grin and a snorting laugh. “I’d go again, sure,” Onyx says, as he unclicks his seatbelt. Andres amends his statement and Onyx laughs again. “I don’t think you need to worry about that. I regularly practice freefalling with Zia, and I haven’t puked from that, yet.”

The shoulderbars come free with a hiss and Onyx stands, unwilling-- or unable-- to keep the grin off his face. He holds a hand out for Andres to take to help him stand.

“We can go again later,” he confirms, feeling the gentle tremble in his limbs. “Are you hungry?” They make their way with the crowd towards the exit-- Onyx smiles at the ride operator, who immediately avoids his eye-- “Or we can try one to break one of these rigged games?”

[attr="class","thadmain"]As Onyx watched, Jett’s form began to flicker and twist, breaking down in spots to reveal the stretch of the landscape behind her: an endless sea of trees and smog flickering with muted colors and silence.

“No,” he said, before he even realized he was saying it, “don’t go--,”

Sorry, little brother, she cooed-- in his head, so ephemeral he could’ve imagined it-- but I’ll see you again soon, ‘kay? Promise.

He shot out a hand to grab her but she turned to wisps of fog in his grip. In that moment, reality seemed to set in again; he wasn’t alone. He was standing at the base of the mountain with Serena Malcolm and genesis aria fox , the former seeming to go through her own come-to-Arceus moment. Behind them, the seal pulsed an ominous heartbeat of the land.

Onyx’s hand dropped, and he squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head, forcing himself to be present. This whole place seemed like a bad dream.

“We shouldn’t stay,” he said, reaching a hand out to his raven for some sort of comfort and trying to fight off the innate helplessness that came from showing emotions in front of strangers. “I don’t think this place is good for us. We found the seal. We can find it again, next time.”

He pulled himself up onto his bird and pushed her toward the sky.

Onyx’s gaze narrows in on the redhead as soon as he rounds the corner of a stack of crates. He cracks his neck to one side and schools his expression into something tame and mildly threatening-- though, deep inside, he’s, as always, spoiling for a fight.

Hello, bump. Can’t wait to smooth you out.

“Sure is,” Onyx says, gusto putting a little volume in his voice, and he forces a smile, “though this is a restricted area. Safety hazards and all that. So I’m gonna ask you to leave.”

As if on an unfortunate cue, something within one of the crates thunks loudly against the inside of it-- a cry for help?

Onyx keeps his eyes locked in on the interloper, there is no war in Ba-Sing-Se smile unwavering.

He shifts back slightly in his chair, one forearm braced on the bar, and lets his gaze slide over to the guy who’d stepped in after Onyx’s intervention. He had black hair and a strange singular eyepiece that Onyx immediately wanted to punch.

In his defense, he had intended to get involved from the start-- he was the bouncer, after all, and while he couldn’t start the shit, he could certainly finish it.

The irate patron turned on the dark-haired stranger, then, raising his fist and turning redder and redder by the second. He paid no mind to the strange canine that crawled out from the pits of where-the-fuck ever as he stomped up to Nikita Sokolov and cocked his arm back for a punch.

Onyx grins at him. He’d wink, but he only has one eye.

[attr="class","sam-banner-up-blurb"]It never occurs to him that Andres doesn’t have anything for ‘protection’. He certainly doesn’t carry a gun (Onyx doesn’t, either, as they’re rather antiquated in the face of creatures that can kill people with their minds or shoot fireballs out of their mouths). But he has to have something in his backpocket-- maybe Pepino knows a zappy move, or he has something with protect. Anything to keep the wolves at bay.

It never occurs to him that he doesn’t and inviting him to this would put him in danger. Never even crosses his mind.

But then again. Andres isn’t a baby. He’s not small or meek or fragile, any longer. Well, not as fragile. Still is, to Onyx, something terrifyingly breakable. But maybe that’s the nature of things you’ve come to treasure only after you’ve broken them: you’re always well aware of their fragility.

Those thoughts are absent from his head as he exhales, vacating his entire body of breath, zeroing in and focusing himself for the fight. Telluria stands next to him, flicking little pieces of metal off of her sharpened arm blades.

“No killing,” Onyx reminds her, popping his head side to side. Her response is a stout nod; she’s not one of his more bloodthirsty compatriots, thankfully.

The announcer’s voice crackles through the stadium, quieting the crowd for just a moment; he welcomes them all to tonights event, then introduces the fighters: his opponent, some hulked-up steroid head named the Barbarian, and then--

“Back from the grave, the brother of Death and twice as ugly, the Dark Twin, Onyx Straub!”

There’s a cheer from the crowd but there’s no fanfare from Onyx-- no arm-waving or jogging around the ring, no smiling or smacktalk or obscene gestures. He’s a fighter, not a performer.

He slips through the ropes and takes his corner, Telluria standing beside him.

[attr="class","mitchel"]“Right,” he says, and though he’s grinding his teeth against a strange, bitter anger that rears inside of him, he doesn’t have a name for it. No proper descriptors for the way it makes his stomach shift or his shoulders set at a stubborn angle.

“You don’t track it?” and the implication that he has so many random hookups that he can’t count them sets an alarm blaring in Onyx’s head. “How many people do you sleep with?” He’s facing away from Andres and has stepped over to the kitchen counter to start stacking things on it but he’s just getting pissed and he doesn’t know why.

It’s a stretch-- it’s a huge fucking stretch-- and he should be taking a step back and investigating why his train of thought chose these tunnels to zip down in the first place. But he doesn’t, he just does what Onyx does best, which is get mad.

“Cookies it is, then,” and he sees it as a bartering token, a give and a take, a mercy. Andres has pissed him off and now here Onyx is being nice to him by making what he wants. He should get a fucking medal.

Andres’ warning of you should be echoes forebodingly in his brain as he does his best to follow Chuchi’s bulldozer-like trail while clearing branches and foliage out of the way for Andres to pass behind him.

It’s a maze in these woods, and before Onyx knew it they’d been charging ahead full steam long enough for them to get lost. Vatin lead, then Chuchi, then Onyx, then Andres; and before he could think to caution the group about being waylaid they stumbled out into a clearing.

In the center of the clearing was a tree so tall Onyx couldn’t see its crest-- it disappeared through a veil of other greenery and mist.

At the base of the tree there was a little boy, and next to him was a small, yellowish shape, like a Pikachu, almost, but not quite.
