Even as Adrian begins to understand the context of what he sees, a brilliant light blindsides him to the dangers of a rogue Ultra Beast. On instinct TYRANITAR places itself between Adrian and harm's way, mitigating the aftermath of the attack, but it is Adrian's GRIMMSNARL who withstands the brunt of the attack as its turgid limbs fail to muster a meaningful defense with its SCREENS.[break][break]
"Rowan!" His cries are muted by the roar of combustion, seeing only the blaze racing towards them as they muster a defense.[break][break]

Thank goodness everyone's okay, I——[break][break]
Grimmsnarl's aura dulls to monochromatic tones as its silhouette withers away without reprieve. His name had been Omen, and he had seen Adrian through much hardship. Upon Mt. Pyre's summit, and once again on the Mauville Warfront. Noble service offered up to him, every ounce of trust—in that singular moment—misplaced. But there is a clarity offered up by the burden of guilt. While much of the DARK ZONE around them disperses, it reveals the truth around him: The dark effigy of CHU-E looming over them, and the markings beneath their very feet which stretched miles.[break][break]
He takes the moment to mourn, but only that briefest moment.[break][break]
"We need to destroy it... if we even can." He has his doubts.[break][break]
Though it appeared in the guise of CHU-E, it was not itself human, its aura reeking of otherwise unthinkable power. It was upon this abomination he could lay the blame of deaths undeserved: Karma, Miser, Reign and now Omen. If it was to be believed it had orchestrated these events, then it must be excised, like the bullet from a gunshot wound... Only he would not risk innocents in this.[break][break]

Seeping from out of that wounded sky like the oozings of a pustule, Yveltal, silent and death-borne, descends on Sootopolis clad in shadows. Like a farmer's sickle drawn to the harvest, it seeks to reap that which has avoided its perfect cyrcle, talons poised to rake and tear away at flesh and bone like separating wheat from the chaff.[break][break]
It takes what it requires, exploiting TYRANITAR for its own ends.[break]
[break]
On the ground Adrian continues inspecting the Tree of Life's puzzling presentation, taking steps to inspect it more closely, approaching and of the mind to try and make contact with the powers vying for control; lend himself to their concerted efforts.[break][break]
But the plan is not without its flaws and eminent risks; such forces were not meant to be contained within the crucible of human flesh and spirit. Rather than elect to harm himself perhaps irreparably, if he could tug on the ebb and flow of this suspicious force, he would promptly reallocate it to his KLEFKI and observe the results.
