Murderers are not monsters, they're men. And that's the most frightening thing about them.

[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]S.P.E.C.T.R.A. THE GAUNTLET  [attr="class","omgenmid"] MEMBER EVENT - ROCKET PVP BATTLE ROYALE MEGATHREAD PARTICIPANTS ONLY [player]https://file.garden/ZWyHNtDjIhZcqtBS/HOENN-Music/Braxton-Burks-Battle-Team-Rocket-Grunt.mp3[/player] 🎼 "Battle! Team Rocket Grunt" - Braxton Burks [break] CALM BEFORE THE STORM
THE CHOSEN SIXTEEN SURGE INTO ACTION. Several rush for the trees, while others head toward higher ground. Between some of the participants, alliances form. dorian westcliff accepts Hitoshi Inoue's proposal to team up, if temporarily. As the former's MAGMORTAR uses SUNNY DAY, the latter's CERULEDGE keeps an eye out for danger. [break][break]
And danger may soon come. Gerald Kaiser stalks dorian westcliff across the arena, only to be intercepted by Violet Fairbanks and Fenelle Miller. Whether he accepts or not, their aid may be what turns the tide in their collective favor. [break][break]
Near the center of the arena, DANE FAIRCHILD wanders close to the pond where MAKI YUKIMURA's EMPOLEON lies in wait. MAKI YUKIMURA herself hides in the branches of the trees above the unsuspecting DANE FAIRCHILD and his KIRLIA. [break][break]
In a similar vein, kepler brueshaber and his BEHEEYEM screamble up a small incline and near the MISTY TERRAIN where Adrian Malcolm's GRIMMSNARL lies in wait. Meanwhile, Rhys Collins and his REUNICLUS stumble upon ameena abadi's NIHILEGO'S TOXIC SPIKES in their attempt to craft a WONDER ROOM. [break][break]
As Kazuya Yoshida searches for higher ground with his EMOLGA, they pass beneath the deadfall trap laid by Aurelie Lefevre and her GOLURK. Not far away, Alba Evovae and parker jones run into each other among the rocks; her LUCARIO senses the auras of both the scientist and his HEATRAN, warning her before they come into view. [break][break]
One of the chosen sixteen does not bother with the landscape, traps, or his fellow participants. Hopping onto a hoverboard-shaped GENESECT, oscar clayton rises into the air above the arena. From up high, he can choose any target. [break][break]
All is quiet. The tension in the air is so thick, one could slice it with a knife. Then the loudspeaker crackles as Zev Harcourt speaks again, his words flashing on the screen beneath the observation deck. [break][break]
[break]
A bell chimes again. The screen says, "BEGIN."[break][break]
