''Catch it!'' Bleeding in the sand, Lillith slipped into existence from his darkness, shadowy tendrils grasping the egg as it tumbled. It floated towards the battered trainer via poltergeist. ''Top marks,'' he growled, but didn't sound like much of a compliment. Sitting on the little island, the cane was thrust towards the passage from whence they had come as the boy swayed to maintain balance.
[break][break]
''Bael, fucking flatten that passage!'' The bellow conjured the other gengar. A serious glance was exchanged with Lillith before he threw his fingers toward the sand. It began to shift, part, rumble. Bubbles raced across the mystery liquid as cracks assaulted the opposite shore, climbing the wall of the chamber and snaking down the entrance where they had just passed. ''Take it as far down as you can! Kill everything in it!''
[break][break]
The racket grew as the darkness within deepened as the rock structure of the hall collapsed under the pressure of Bael's earthquake. Andy hoped to hear the cries of the beasts within. ''Don't stop! Grind them into dust!'' Bael wasn't sure what more his trainer expected him to do. Alas he added some swirl to destruction. Chunks began to fall from their own chamber wall, but the Galarian didn't seem to care. Finally it ceased.
[break][break]
The cane was sat aside as he sucked an inhale through clenched teeth.
[break][break]
Bones were definitely broken, but the hurt wasn't nearly as crippling as it likely would have been for most anyone else. There wasn't much comparison to how torn he had been under the Mauville Hills. The experience there had steeled him. None the less, the limb was useless for now. Sucking through his teeth once more as if the air would erase the pain, what remained of the socks were pulled from his ankles. The elastic tunnels were slid over his right arm. The compression might help.
[break][break]
''Bael, give me a hand.'' The other gengar turned from his duty. ''Get my button up off and help me tie it.'' The left sleeve slid off easy, of course. There were a few grunts and further toothy inhales for the right as the over shirt came off from over his tee. The pokemon's three digits were deft enough to aid the trainer in tying an simple sling for his arm. Lillith clutched the egg as she watched.
[break][break]
''Listen, the both of you, about what I said earlier...'' Despite his hurts, none of the determination had left his voice. Perhaps he was the most stubborn person in the entire region. ''We're not leaving here alive.'' Bael halted his labors for a moment for another occular exchange with the only other remaining pokemon. When you were backed into a corner, you destroyed the corner. And yet escape was seen as too irresponsible an option.
[break][break]
Now there was only the nuclear option.
[break][break]
''Wherever we go now, we bring down the house behind us, strangle the fucking life out of this place until everything in it is dead. It's too dangerous to leave it for some other cunts to stumble on later. We bury it now. Maybe we'll get that eyeball loving fuck sponge too. Everything, everyone, is expendable. Got it?'' Both gengars traded a look again. Was there no other way? Neither wanted to meet their fates, but their situation only seemed to grow more dire.
[break][break]
Perhaps it was the only way to fight back.
[break][break]
''Gengar... Gengar.'' The pokemon offered his hand and Andy placed his on top. ''Gengar. Gengar.'' The boy only glared, ignorant of what she was saying. Deflating some, Lillith closed the distance to add her hand to the pile. ''Gengar.'' There was no smiles or quips for the sealing of this blood pact. ''Then we're agreed. To the death then.''
[break][break]
Grasping his cane, the boy groaned as he stood.
[break][break]
''Lillith, see that Taph is somewhere safe. No reason to take an inanimate object to hell with us.'' Grin still flattened at dire straights they found themselves in, her red eyes fell on the egg in her grasp as darkness began to swirl around its shell before engulfing it completely. Phantom force carried it away to environs unknown, but presumably safer as her trainer had requested. The rain of dust from above drew his attention. His long time companion taken care of, it was time to continue the hunt.
[break][break]
''Smashing, Lil. Now let's get out of here.'' His left finger pointed skyward. ''To the heavens.'' Both pokemon looked to see the same exit as the Galarian. Fading into the spooky folds of his disheveled form, the boy floated upwards. The opening offered him entrance to a much more haunted setting. The pillars, the urns, the ... caskets? This was some burial site, far more fitting to find beneath a church in comparison to where he had just been.
[break][break]
What was another grave here?
[break][break]
At the sight of the same sand from below, Andy almost immediately commanded his charges to start flattening the site as they go. What was an additional burial to a grave? Alas, a commotion over his shoulder draws his attention... The distant sounds of battle. While he hadn't imagined that anyone else was skipping through a field of daisies in their own travels, it was unexpected to find a struggle so close to his own. None the less it wasn't time to merely float around.
[break][break]
''Quickly! Something fucked is going on!'' Blasting over the sand, his left hand pressed the cane under his armpit so that he might twist the head. Separating, the head was grasped and the cane was flung out. With a 'schwing' echoing through the crypes the blade's scabbed was allowed to fall away. It wouldn't be needed where he was going. The encroaching sight of familiar faces, John Sullivan , Chu-e Choi , Eris Halla would have been a comforting were it not for the unmistakable presence of an unfriendly one.
[break][break]
And yet a twisted flame of joy enkindled within him.
[break][break]
''Found you lasagna bitch!'' The momentum couldn't be wasted. ''Don't stop! I want its eyes,'' he commanded his double poltergeist propulsion. Madly, frighteningly, the needle wielding human was propelled promptly into the nearest peeper. Inertia was not one to be kind out of respect for a grudge, but the Blackadder did not care how broken he became to inflict pain on the fiend before him. Deposited into the milky remains of an eyeball, his shadow shimmered as his gengars evacuated themselves to the floor just before conflagration.
[break][break]
Neither had expected this level of escalation.
[break][break]
Shadows swirled around the pair as shadow balls plowed into the beast's form, perhaps in the hope of finding the explosive ectoplasm from their previous encounter. So long as he had an arm that obeyed his commands Andy would not cease to thrust and jab and poke. Though the environment had not escaped his notice either. How fortunate to find his quarry in such an exploitable position. Mere flailing would surely not be enough to kill it. Only a radiant light could banish such an abomination, and to create it the candle would have to be burned at both ends.
[break][break]
''Don't let it run,'' he growled despite his injuries. A pleased look was cast back at his pokemon. ''You know what to do!'' His attention was turned back to the enemy as Bael and Lillith began their condemnation. ''Abandon all hope beyond this point,'' he spat at the creature. With a rumble and a roar fissures snaked across the ground and up the cliffs, promising a coming burial. ''ANY SENSIABLE CUNTS SHOUD GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!'' A last and final warning to any compatriots as Lillith's destiny bond split the air and Bael's earthquake rended the cliffs which began to swallow the scene in a cascade of self destructive spite.
