Plummeting through the blackness, Bakura cannot even feel wind running past him. It's as though he remains completely still while everything flows past him in the dark. Then he sees more of the grey mist below him, and he and his new Beedrill companion crash through the ceiling of fog.

When he feels the impact of the ground, it is not the hard stone of a cave floor, and he can feel this place much more lucidly than the fake mountain grass. Beneath his prone body is a carpet of grainy sand. A light weight on his back indicates his Beedrill is still clinging to him - thankfully not with its lances. His Beedrill? Not Marik's Beedrill anymore. Strange. It's still carrying that marble, too. The rest of the gems are smears of color on the sand beneath him, and the mine cart lies upsidedown, imbedded in the earth nearby.

This place is immediately familiar. Ancient egypt, dusk, the sun is just setting over the great man-made mountains. Pyramids raised with the sweat and blood of thousands of slaves. The sky is lightly clouded and colored brilliantly by the sunset. There is no grey mist in sight, nothing but open desert.

This felt much more real, although if it was or not was hard to tell given what he had for comparison. Standing up and brushing himself off, he looks around at the familiar scenery, Beedrill still on his back. His Beedrill now, and that marble it had looked vaguely familiar, but he hadn't gotten a good look at it yet.

"So what now?" he asks either himself or his Beedrill now that there wasn't an obvious direction to head.

"What was that?" the Black Mage looks around for the source of the sudden flickering, missing the Celebi's appearance by a split second. "And what do we do now? Mike isn't going to leave until he's got that Cresselia back, and I CAN'T leave until I've freed Giratina. I'm bound by contract."

"Just somebody sent here to meet you," the man answers, clearly expecting his visitor. He delivers in a monotone voice, "Welcome, Thief King. You are in the Pit of Nightmares." Taking out a pocketwatch, the man checks the time. "We have a short few minutes yet before you must flee the nightmarish hell coming for you."

Despite that statement, the man is in no rush. "I serve the hub that binds the dreamworld together. We have a personal investment in preventing the warlords of chaos from breaking the prison. Not problems with the prison being broken - just the people doing so. Should the cell fall under the sway of either of them it will end badly for everyone."

"I... wait, what? Pit of Nightmares? I haven't gone through enough already? I have no idea what I just fell into, and I've only got a few minutes?"

He briefly remembered himself referring to the battle he recently won as a "nightmare", and hoped that he hadn't brought this upon himself just because of his word choice.

"This is the safest place to speak with you. We are deep below the surface here," the man looks up into the rapidly darkening sky. "Even with the Key it would be difficult for them to find us, and there are few other tools that can look so deeply into the abyss hiding beneath the human psyche... we aren't even at the bottom yet."

A few swirling whirlpools of quicksand hover ominously at the edge of Bakura's vision.

"There are three people who can unlock the prison you gave to Melvin. There were four, before you killed the fourth." An image of the ice sorcerer Bakura slew in the frozen north of Canada. "Two are the last surviving warlords of Orre. My creator and the cursed warlord of flame. The final is the descendant of the man who activated the prison's seal. You know a Doctor Zera, yes?"

"Oh, right, that's what this is about then..." He'd have looked away, guilty of having assisted Melvin, but his 'out of sight out of mind' idea didn't want him looking at the whirlpools.

"Zera? Yeah, in fact he's probably not very far from me right now."

He hadn't given it much thought while he was destroying the golem, or retrieving the objects Melvin asked for, up until the point where he had nearly killed Marik. Arceus, what had he gotten himself into?

Speaking of Mike, that final attack of the clown's had knocked him out cold. Thinking he'd won and that the fighting was over, the damage and fatigue of the fight had hit him all at once. After all the time he'd spent to get here, one could at least argue about whether he deserved it.

*Great, we busted the lights in this place.* Samus, Mike's Blaziken, had been momentarily disoriented by the flickering lights. She didn't even have a chance to adjust between outages. *What the hell was that, anyway?*

-This is something completely different. Regardless, I believe we are victorious.- Paula, Mike's Gardevoir, had tried to figure out the source of the blackouts herself... but after a moment the thought passed. -I believe all that remains is to destroy the remaining weapons guarding this temple and escape.- They'd need to be quick about it; sure, Mike was still alive now, but that could change in an instant.

The battle against the clown was over, but the war was far from it. Hans took a seat atop a pile of rubble, dusting off his grey shirt and ragged peaked cap. "What use is celebration?" he said, as the tiredness in his voice became apparent. "How many lives have been lost to achieve this hollow victory? How many have died here that threw their lives away needlessly?"

"This isn't a victory, not by a long shot. We haven't won anything but a delay of the inevitable. The Little Major is still out there, no doubt already planning a counterattack, if he hasn't set one in motion already."

Fingers fumbling, he prepared his last revive for use; his breath was ragged, the way one sounds when they're trying to hold back from crying. "I'm sorry..." he said, never specifying whom or what his apology was directed towards.

"I just came here to beat Kefka up. I need to head back to HQ and regroup before going off to take down this other incredibly powerful madman. Even now I don't think I'll have nearly enough time to recover properly..."

The entire temple was a wreck, practically nothing was left standing and it was clear that one false move would send the whole thing tumbling down on their heads, centuries of age, decades of construction, all toppled in a single battle that nearly tore the fabric of reality in two.

The giant hole where the clown once laid was still smoking the ground around it having melted from the force within.

There wasn't much left for them now, sure there were a few things lying amongst the debris, but other than that, nothing but death lingered here...

Or did it?

Mike's team didn't want to stick around to find out. They'd barely survived this fight; anything more would most likely kill them and they'd die fixing nothing, relatively speaking.

*OK, what else do we still have to take out?* Samus was well aware the fighting wasn't over yet; the question was how much damage had been done to the guns the Colonel had warned them about. Those guns were the whole reason they'd stuck to a land route, after all.

-We might need to leave those to any allied forces assisting us.- Paula was focused more on simply getting everyone out, and possibly coming back later to finish the job. That might not be possible at the moment, but it'd have to happen soon or it wasn't going to.

*Wait a minute... Where'd Selene go?* -She's not here? Then... She didn't...!- The aforementioned Cresselia has been the entire reason Mike had even come out all this way and fought as long as he had, with only his own teams and a rotating selection of interested allies backing him up. And now, having finally finished off the last obstacle standing between them, she was nowhere to be found. ...She wasn't dead, was she?

Getting to his feet, Garland slowly lumbers over to where Hans is seated and takes a seat beside him on the chunk of rock. His armor makes a loud clank.

"What happened?" he asks after a moment. The look on Hans' face was like that of a broken man. But why? The girl had fled safely, right? Vilbert didn't mention anything about her since returning. Then again, he hadn't stopped to ask.

"There is one more thing you should know," the nondescript Egyptian man continues. "Though the strain of Kefka crafting a new Dialga was too much for its body to survive, the aspect of Arceus you know has not truly 'died'. Power from the other two aspects has been gradually coalescing since his demise - the advantage of a divided trinity."

The sun dips below the horizon and a blood red color begins to stretch across the dark sky. Soon droplets of red liquid fall around Bakura and his conversational partner. The metallic taste in his mouth confirms that it is, indeed, blood raining down on the desert.
Everything is much colder now.

"An egg awaits at the Hall of Origin on Sinnoh, but the fledgling deity that emerges will be greatly weakened. With the world in shambles, chaos and ambition on the horizon, and the gods licking their wounds.... this young Arceus will require a guardian to care for him until he can regain his strength. This is not required of you, but my creator thought you might like to know." Reaching into his robes the man offers a strange branching royal blue flute. "Playing this as you walk the Spear Pillar will take you to the sacred hall. If you choose not to go, ensure it comes into the hands of someone who can take on that responsibility."

Geysers of sand begin erupting from the whirlpools. They stop flowing down as more sand rushes up from beneath the desert.

"My creator is safe. Your Doctor can protect himself. Find the warlord of flame. Even we do not know what became of him, for he does not dream, but it is essential that they do not find him first."

Hands begin to claw out from the growing sand piles, skeletal human hands dripping with blood and with torn flesh still clinging to them.

"You should probably try to escape your nightmare now. I'm sure you know better than I where to go."

The man flies into the sky. Doesn't even move, just floats upwards and eventually out of view.
Well then.

Alriiiighty, fun-seekers. I think it's time you lower the big fat unflattering R banner, and replace it with the infinitely superior, G-flag. After all, it's no surprise the aforementioned symbol is that of a PRIDED team with something to be ACTUALLY PROUD of, and not some rag-tag mafia operation throwing pity parties in veneration of their otherwise-truant-at-the-moment-fedora-clad overlord. I think master Cyrus's ambition to ANNIHILATE ALL LIVING MATTER usurps making a quick, scandelous unlawful buck or two over a dead mommy Pokemon.

Revive check. Full restore check. One party member up, and that was the best Hans could do. Not that it would matter in the long run. The clown was dead and his scheme had failed, but the clown was but a pawn in a much larger game that the Little Major was still playing. How soon until checkmate, he wondered.

The sound of metal clinking against stone brought him out of his daze, and the words of the not-evil Garland danced in his ears, as only the words of a magical, extra-dimensional entity could.

"What happened?" he asked, absentmindedly repeating the knight's words. "I threw away the life of my only kin to fight in a battle that wasn't mine; I'm complicit in the death of hundreds of my countrymen; I've seen things that mortal eyes were never meant to see..."

He closed his eyes, sighing as he did "Germany hasn't fought a proper war since 1945, so for most of us, the expression "war is hell" is something we can only understand in an academic context. Even our involvement in the American campaigns in the desert only showed us so much. But this... This is unlike anything I've experienced before, and it is truly hell."

Mike's remaining team members, or at least those who were still capable of putting up a fight, had finished taking stock of the remains of the temple. There wasn't really much left to see... that hadn't already been picked up by other members of the alliance that had seemingly claimed victory.

*...Hell sounds about right, Colonel. Most of us got floored, we dragged innocent people into this, and to top it all off we failed to even finish the original objective.* 'We', in this case, was more Mike's team than anyone else. *All we can do now is pick up the pieces and move on.* As soon as they could figure out where those pieces were, anyway.

Hans took the device from Bakura's hands, staring at the small screen. His eyes darted to a dot that read "Mew" slowly drifting away from their location. Anger filled his heart, and he had to restrain himself from screaming at the device or cursing the Mew for his daughter's death. Of course, he knew that he alone was responsible for what had happened to her, but even better men than he have problems admitting their faults.

He played around with the settings, trying to adjust the size of the displayed area but not entirely sure if what he was doing was correct. In his head, he counted off the deities that he could. Some had vanished entirely, some had fled to other parts of the world.

>>23389349

But, one name in particular caught the Colonel's eye. "Come over here" he said to Mike's Blaziken (still amazed at how well the creature spoke English) as he pointed to a speck floating somewhere off the coast of Hokkaido "This is the one that belonged to your master, right?"

He took the flute and looked it over, wiping away blood that fell onto it from the sky, as if that were normal. For a nightmare of the Thief King, it probably was, actually.

"I'll see what I can do."

An Arceus egg... He couldn't think of anyone he'd trust with that besides himself, if even that. He couldn't help but wonder if it would be egg sized when it hatched.

"Warlord of flame, got it.

He pocketed the flute and looked at the scene unfolding around him.

"Well, that was a nice distraction from the usual torture. You'd think a few millennium of this would be enough to get used to it."

As the man departed in his unusual manner, "Well then," was just about all that he could think to say. He glanced at the Beedrill on his shoulder.

"Why don't you go ahead and wake up if you can. I need what sleep I can get, nightmare-ridden or not."

Really, he'd rather it be not, but as he had said, one had ended. As he had experienced, that just gave the next one a chance to start.

The Beedrill prods Bakura's shoulder (with the blunt side of its drill), and points towards the horizon. There's a rainbow rising. Some kind of way out?

Getting to it would mean running past the crawling, mutilated corpses of Kul Elna's inhabitants, and the growing piles of sand building up around him.

It looked like the team's workout was cut out for them, then. All they had to do was clear out the last of the resistance, then go out to check to make sure their friend had made it home safely, and finally they could go patch up their own wounds and go home.

The fact that Mew had interrupted them had put them on the defensive again significantly earlier than expected. *Already?!* Well, at least Samus would finally get the fight she was looking for, the Blaziken assuming her standard pose and preparing for battle.

Mike himself remained down, the clown's parting shot having dropped him. At this point he was struggling to stay alive; given the amount of damage he'd taken, he should probably be dead. It'd be a hell of a thing, to have come this far only to fall right at the end.

Paula, Mike's Gardevoir, was doing the best she could to keep her trainer clinging to life. With no techniques that could heal this kind of injury, she was forced to simply stay by his side and hope he could pull through.

If Mike was still conscious, he would notice the ground he was on slowly shifting; no longer the ruined stone floor of the temple, but something more akin to mud. An acrid, iron smell, sharp and instantaneous, would permeate his nostrils, the stench enveloping his person like a cloud.

Mike was indeed out cold, but that didn't stop him from noticing that something was very wrong. How he did that he wasn't sure yet, but one thing that was very clear was the smell. It nearly burned his nose, the intensity of the sensation shocking all his senses into clearing out all at once. 'What the hell?!' he thought to himself; had he the strength at the moment, and were the ground solid, he would've attempted to stand up to check his surroundings. For now, he had to get back to thinking in a coherent, let alone logical, manner. He'd been in a temple just a few minutes ago, right? The last thing he remembered was that last incoming fireball... so where was he now, and why was he there?

The ground was indeed solid enough to stand on, though not without your foot sliding in an inch or two. Upon further inspection, if Mike were so keen to learn the secrets of this place, he would find that the dark, brownish-red mud was actually blood, clotted and somewhat hardened to the consistency of wet clay. This also explained the acrid smell of iron in the air.

Above him, were he to look up, was a great vortex; a swirling blackness of infinite void amidst a deep violet sky. Behind him, rushing were the sounds of water; a river of deep violet-red, likely also blood, or some substance far more toxic- Investigate at your own discretion, Mike. Plants sprouted from the clay of blood, squat mushrooms and tangled whipcord-like tendrils of flora, from whence came periodic spore clouds, filling the purple-hued atmosphere with clouds of hazy yellow spores.

The ground seemed to be sloping upwards, and the river that had at first been behind Mike was now in front of him, its blood-coloured depths... Running uphill? Whatever this place was, it was clear that the normal laws of physics had been thrown out the window.

It took Mike a minute to find the strength to even get up. The ground was soft enough that it took him a couple tries to figure out how to do it without simply falling over, but eventually he was up.

And then, he figured out what he was standing on. If he'd had anything to eat, it was gone now. He hadn't, but the point was made. What the hell was this place? ...Come to think of it, he might've answered his own question. What else was waiting for him, he wondered, as he checked his surroundings?

The sky looked uglier than any storm he'd ever seen, and the river of what looked like blood was no better. No direction looked particularly appealing, but he'd have to pick somewhere, unless he felt like simply standing there until he died.

'Hell, I might already be dead,' Mike mused to himself, watching the blood-river run uphill. If he was, then it wouldn't hurt to walk around... would it? It might; for starters, those mushrooms would have to be avoided, and wading through that river wasn't practical either. ...Hmm. This might take a minute to figure out how to proceed. Seemed like death waited for him in every direction...

With a heavy wheeze, another cloud of spores was released, and slowly, the cloud formed itself into a shape somewhat resembling a snake. Though the air was stale and without wind, it sped away downhill, racing towards the source of the blood-red river. The other clouds of spores followed suit, and for the time, the air was free from their presence.

From what could only be assumed to be north, a breeze came, stinking the same rancid iron stench as the stale air in the valley Mike was in- And a closer inspection would indeed reveal that Mike was in a valley, as in the distance on all sides of him, he would see the ground rising, with the horizon on all sides of him forming a bowl-like shape off in the distance. "North" was the highest point of that bowl, and in the distance, a strange light seemed to shine, beckoning its viewer to come hither.

Well, at least those mushrooms couldn't do anything now. Why the spores had formed that shape he had no idea. Best not to think about that now.

As the wind blew through, Mike shuddered as though he were out in a winter snowstorm. Death itself felt like it was on the wind... and he'd be getting it from all sides, after having noticed more of the terrain. It looked like he was at a low point, with nowhere to go but up. There wasn't exactly a guide telling him which up was right... except maybe that light in the distance. Whatever it was, it was the only signal of any kind, so it seemed that was the way to go, and with a few cautious steps at first Mike was off toward that light.

A long trek upwards would reveal the source of the light- It was the light from the starless sky, reflecting off the golden helm that adorned the great sleeping beast that has host of these lands. Long and serpentine, his sleeping form appeared like a living mountain. As thick across as an ancient redwood tree, with pallid grey scales decked with red and gold filigree. Six massive wings, black as the night sky and tipped with claws of bright scarlet, draped themselves over the sleeping creature. With every breath, the dragon's form shuddered, causing the ground to shake and clumps of dried blood to break from the mountainous retreat, swiftly tumbling downhill. Its eyes, each as large as a person's head, flitted about underneath the translucent shield plating that protected them, unaware of the outside world as the monster dreamed; dreamed of an older age, when life was of a different sort and he and his siblings were kings. But now the dream is over, and the nightmare must begin.

Giratina's eyes shot open, glistening crimson orbs glaring at the small human before them with indescribable emotion. "Who are you" his voiced boomed with authority as he spoke, "And where do you come from?"

Now awake, the massive dragon god's form shifted, and from its sleeping coil it emerged, revealing the full length of its serpentine body before Mike.

Mike was ever cautious as he trekked up the slope before him. How was he sure that light was where he needed to go? ...He wasn't, really, but it was the only indication of guidance at all.

And then, he nearly fell over when he made it to... wherever he'd stopped. The creature rising up before him looked vaguely familiar at first... and then it clicked. He'd studied the old legends, certainly, but the sheer number he was getting to personally meet was getting absurd.

"Wait... Giratina?" What could he follow up with, except to answer the questions of the one who demanded to know. "Well, uh... I'm Mike, and I'm from... well, how do I put this? Not around here, to say the least." He was unclear how specific his response was supposed to be, but what he said might be enough to convey the general idea.

Giratina studied Mike with great intent, silent save for the sounds of his breathing and movement, until he at last broke the silence with his conclusion. "You are early" he said.

His eyes lit up, shining a bright magenta hue as a runic circle appeared at Mike's feet. From the circle came a list of names, flowing upwards, past Mike's face. Were he to look carefully, he would see his name among the mountain of others that accompanied it.

"Yes, here it is" said the dragon, pouring over his list with intent "You weren't expected for another... Thirty-five years or so, it says. I was expecting you to appear much older when you arrived, but seeing you now, there is a clear resemblance to the man I was expecting."

"This doesn't happen very often. Most people die when they are meant to; no sooner, no later."

This upended everything Mike had ever believed about this subject; prior to this he had thought that once someone died that was it, they were simply gone, game over, the end, forever. Now, though, he was no longer sure what to think. What was waiting for him, now that he knew the afterlife was a thing?

"Yeah, we've known he was after the legends from the start. He's just not really a threat," the Mage didn't bother lowering his voice, though he lowered his weapon and put it away.

"Chances are if he's not on the radar, Giratina's probably back home. I should go." Turning to Wonderfag and PT, BM took off his outer coat, leaving just the robe beneath. He took a few Pokeballs and attached them to his belt, then passed the coat with the rest to the Spiritomb. "Go with the others and take everyone back to the house in Celadon. I've still got business to wrap up."

"You're going alone?"

"PT, Window, and Alfredsson are going with me."

"Alright I guess. See ya later."

With that the Mage and PT began working on a portal to the other side.

"You are not hallucinating, my child" said Giratina, still pouring over the list of names of those that had died in his absence. "This is the Distortion Realm, land of shadows, where the dead go to their rest eternal. You are not the first to have doubted in the afterlife, and you shall not be the last, either."

For a moment, the dragon god appeared to smile, as thoughts rattled about in his head. "I have been called many names over the millennia" he said, as his grin revealed rows of jagged shark-like teeth for but an instant. "The first ancient people to worship my Father alone above all called me "Ha-Satan"; "Enemy", "Accuser". I was said to sow the seeds of sin and temptation among men, driving them away from Father's influence to break His commands and spread misery among their fellow man. "Ha-Satan" gave way to "Satan", as the second followers of that book came to call me. The ancient Greeks called me "Diabolus"; "slanderer", they knew me as a spreader of lies. Throughout history, I have been depicted as evil, the antithesis of my Father's works, the very enemy of all that was good. But is that not also part of Father's plan? For without evil, there can be no good to compare to."

"The ancient Greeks were interesting people. Amusing, too... They saw my influence and the influence of my Father and brothers wherever they went... They had a phrase, "deus ex machina" it went. Do you know what that phrase means?"

Well, how was Mike supposed to know? It's not like there was anyone he could possibly have asked while he was still among the living. Oh, wait. Well he couldn't have known that much, it wasn't like he had taken time off to escort friends through the eternal darkness. Oh, wait. Not that he was bitter, he couldn't have expected Mike to know he was going to die, and then think that he might be wrong about there not being some sort of afterlife and bother to ask.

>>23401315
The Thief King was pushing carefully at different spots on the doors, looking like he was trying to play Jenga. That wasn't actually that far off.

"Ha. First part of the plan is to make sure that the doors aren't bearing so much weight that this place will come crashing down on top of us. If there isn't much we could try to fortify the area around it and smash them open."

Mike took a step back as Giratina showed off its... his? The voice certainly sounded masculine. In any case, those teeth were nothing to be messed with. "I, uh... Beats me, I was never into religious studies. Pretty sure my grandpa had a blast meeting you though..."

He'd heard that phrase before. "It's been a while since I heard it, but I'm familiar with it, yeah." Deus ex machina, huh? Well, if anyone was in a position to pull that off at the moment, it was Giratina. ...What was he getting at here?

The rest of Mike's team had been informed of the trainer's status through telepathy. There was nothing to say for the moment; most of the active team tended toward suppressing overt emotional displays. All they could do now was move on, and attend to whatever business came along when it did... assuming they survived the fight themselves. Chalk up a few more clears in the League's registry, for starters.

"It means "god from the machine" replied the dragon. "The ancient Greeks would put on plays, and in the climactic ending, when all hope seemed lost, an actor portraying a god would be hoisted onto the stage to solve the problem. In a more modern context, it refers to the act of abruptly creating an ending where the problem is solved, with no forewarning that such an ending was possible. The Greeks regarded the deus ex machina as an acceptable way to end a story, but modern audiences are not so forgiving."

"I wonder" Giratina closed the distance between he and Mike, so that now the dragon's snout was less than an inch from Mike's face. "How forgiving are you?"

This time the back-bee's drill hit home, knocking the woman away from Bakura long enough for him to have a chance at escape the advancing horde. Through a corridor of sand was the end of the rainbow, and all he had to do was climb over the flowing earth faster than his pursuers.

"I, uh..." Mike wasn't sure how to respond to that. On the one hand, that did stretch disbelief quite a bit in stories; on the other, Giratina hadn't simply come out of nowhere or solved anything. On the third hand, since when was this a story, in which that sort of distinction would even matter?

'All this time, I thought the old stories were just that... but now I know the truth. I was wrong to not believe in them. Yes, the gods might simply appear out of nowhere to do things that don't seem to make sense... but that's the world we live in, and who am I to disagree?' This last part Mike thought to himself; he still hadn't said anything else yet.

"I'll be the first to admit that I generally find endings like that unsatisfying, as many modern readers and listeners do. To have someone solve the problems plaguing the main characters of a story is one thing, but to do so without forewarning stretches disbelief."

"That said, I have the feeling you're about to apply that general logic to this encounter right here, and I don't believe this is the same situation. For one, your presence isn't unexpected; back in the world of the living me and a few friends were actively trying to break you out of that clown's grasp. For another, since you are the god of the dead, you control who dies and who doesn't, and whether they stay dead, and we know this. Thus, the question becomes how probable such an ending is, rather than whether it's possible."

"...I can't stop you, Giratina, from doing whatever you're going to do. All I can do is accept your decision and move on, whichever direction I'm pointed in, and hope that that decision works in my favor." Mike was starting to ramble at this point; it was time for him to shut up before he got himself in any more trouble.

Easier said than done, although he'd be disappointed if he hadn't come across a similar sand trap in his career as a tomb robber. Luckily he knew he was experienced moving quickly over sand, so he just had the whole 'moving' part working against him.

Of course, he didn't actually bother wasting time thinking about this, the moment the Beedrill's attack connected, he had resumed his mad dash out of the nightmare.

The Thief King pulled ahead finally, setting a foot on the surprisingly solid rainbow. Instantly everything closing in behind him dissolved into inky blackness.

Above him is a blue cloud-filled sky. The same serene ambient lighting before makes everything equally lit. The only shadow here is Bakura's, following behind him. Several floating islands are scattered around the area, with bridges of rainbow light connecting them.

On one of them is a small cabin with a garden. On another is a bright red wooden door. On another is a giant tree.

Silence permeated the land of shadows. Down in the valley below, not even the trickle of the blood river running uphill, nor the gaseous sigh of toxic spore-releasing mushrooms could be heard. Giratina stared at Mike, crimson orbs boring deep into his soul for what felt like an eternity. The dragon bared his teeth towards the small human; dagger-like implements that stretched back into the creature's maw as far as Mike's eyes could see.

And then, Giratina did the unthinkable. He laughed. Not the malicious howl expected of one who was the enemy; but a jolly, mirthful chuckle of one deeply amused.

"You claim not to be versed in religious studies, but for a secular man, you give a better answer than many of Father's holy prophets of old" said the dragon, retreating his face from Mike's. "You have passed my test, little one. I shall return your soul to its earthly..."

But before the dragon could complete his thought, there came a knock at the door... Well, it wasn't really a door, as there were no doors in the vast emptiness of the land of shadows.

"What?" Giratina looked around, trying to find the source of the strange knocking he heard in the air. "Who dares disturb me?"

In the purple-tinted sky, the great dragon tore open a hole to the other world. "As lord of this realm I demand that you show yourself, interloper!"

Sure, he could fly into a rant about how it was impolite to disturb the residence of a god when said god was conducting formal affairs with someone else, but Giratina had a feeling that it would accomplish little. "No, you petulant mortal, I have not exploded" he said, his voice cutting with undertones of irritation "I am the first child of Arceus the creator; I cannot be made to perish, not through the trappings of mere mortals."

"Now begone you! I have business I must conduct with this soul before me."

Great, more interlopers. This one though was at least friendly. He would be afforded a polite wave of the tail, but no words would be given to the white-haired youth.

>>23407309

>"As you might recall, I'm dead, aren't I?"

"As I had been trying to say before the small one so rudely interrupted me, this will soon no longer be the case."

"It is not yet your time to come before me to be judged, and you have impressed me with your wit and logic, so I shall return your soul to its mortal vessel."

>>23407373
"Right, right. Well, contract fulfilled and all that since you're free now," turning heel and leaving, BM is careful not to let the door hit him on the way out. It seemed Giratina hadn't noticed the glitches after all, so the Mage still had time. He'd need to bring out more of them to rebuild the temple though, and that might draw attention. He'd need to do it a little at a time. Best start soon while the dragon's still groggy and distracted.

>>23406950
>>23407455
So he walks out through the hole left in the wall by Stolloss to go back out into the temple courtyard. There he would call out the rest of his glitches and sit down to focus himself.

What kind of question was that? Of course he... didn't. He wasn't half bad at divination in general, and sat down, seeing if he could give it a shot.

"Indeed. Despite what the ancient peoples said of me, I am neither an unfair god nor a harsh one. If it is not a person's time to be judged before me, I will not in good faith hold them prematurely. I shall return your soul to its mortal vessel."

"Though, not without first bequeathing upon you gifts, for you and your comrades who fought to free me from my captor."

Again, the dragon's eyes shone bright magenta, and the ground before Mike began to shift. Three clumps of blood rose into the air, forming into the shape of a blade before solidifying, becoming harder and sharper than any mortal blade. "To the Mage, the Knight, and to Bakura, I give these blades" said Giratina. "They are of better quality than the ones they possess, and will not dull or break."

A fourth clump of blood-clay formed itself into a sphere, inscribed with arcane runes that shone like the starless purple sky of Giratina's realm. "This talisman I give to you; You and your comrades will come to know its power in due time, when the need arises and the danger be pressing enough."

Last, a fifth clump of blood formed itself into a large water basin; made of blood transfigured into metal, its iron innards bled crystal clear water until it was full. "Let yourself and your comrades drink from this. It will replenish their strength for the battle to come."

"I have no earthly gift to give to your Colonel, but if you would, pass him this message- His daughter has not yet come before me, and he need not weep for those who yet live."

When Giratina had finished giving his gifts to Mike, the light in his eyes receded, and the great dragon god once more coiled his body against the blood-soaked ground, returning to his slumber.

Mike, now inundated with many godly gifts, would find the land of the dead soon begin to change, as had the temple grounds changed earlier, until at last his feet found themselves back on the solid stone of the ruined temple.

And then, Mike was back. Apparently he had been restored completely, or his body had, at least. That, and he'd been left quite a bounty, by the look of things. The water would prove enormously useful, and this stone he'd been given... He wasn't sure what it was yet, but it seemed quite important. "...Where'd I go just now?"

The remainder of Mike's team, for the moment, was as slack-jawed as their trainer. This was literally a miracle, from the least likely source of all. What could you say to that, really?

-You're back!- Paula threw her arms around her trainer, the Gardevoir living up to her species name of the Embrace Pokemon perhaps now more than ever before in her life. -We thought you were dead!-

*All right!* Samus had been staring at the floor just a moment before, ready to admit defeat, but now with this... The Blaziken was back in action, ready to finish fighting her way out and going home. *Nice to see you won't be missing any of the party after all!*

>>23406950

Emiko was alive? Those words had no sooner left Mike's mouth than he found himself embraced by Hans, sobbing on the shoulder of his resurrected comrade. "Danke, danke, danke, Gött in Himmel, danke!" he cried; this day had not been in vain after all.

What great luck! What fortune! What Christmas miracles these were!

The seven spheres around his waist were set free, the creatures within beckoned to drink from the dazzling rejuvenating waters Mike had brought with him. Soon, their strength had been replenished, and despite the largeness of the share taken by Stahlos and Stolloss, never did the water level seem to lower. For every sip taken, the iron innards bled an amount to replace it.

Come, let us drink of these waters, that our strength be regained and our spirits reforged, for the road ahead was hard and battle was yet to come, though the party knew this not.

As much as Mike would love to simply go home, he knew the fight wasn't over yet. Now that he was physically just fine, it was his job to get his team, and everyone else's by extension, back up to full power. "...All right, that's enough of that." Standing around, that was; calling out his entire Pokemon force, he'd get to them one by one. "There's enough here for everybody, make sure everybody gets some." There would be time for such things as therapy, or indeed any other kind of speech, once they'd gotten the hell out of here.

Outside, the wizard was in deep concentration. He didn't notice the commotion over Mike's miraculous resurrection, but his 'new' Aerodactyl did and wandered over back into the temple. It sniffs at the water and takes a drink, then watches everyone else.

Wonderfag calls out a truly absurd number of Pokemon to drink from the miracle water. The sheer number dwarfs even Mike's double team. The Black Mage must have brought at least twenty, probably more.

The vessel chosen to ferry Cain and his iron titans was a zeppelin- A strange choice on the part of the Little Major, but the modifications made to the flying battleship made it more than serviceable for transporting his warriors.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kcOpyM9cBg

True to form, the clone of Chairman Lorenz had made sure that Beethoven's 9th played as he made the necessary preparations- It had been four years since any of them had so much as moved under their own power, after all. Certain arrangements needed to be made before they could be confirmed to be operational.

Humming the tune he knew by heart in the modified hanger where his titans rested, Cain gleefully made his way through the myriad of preparations needed to ensure his machines were at 100% operational capacity. Aided by Melchior, the Porygon-Z that had belonged to his predecessor, he checked everything he could think of.

"Hydraulic pressure is good, good, good... Maybe this actuator should be looked at before we deploy; power levels holding stable, Mark.8 upgraded power core has accepted the uplink with the power control circuits. Check, check, check, check, check, check, all units are accepting power from the Mark.8 core. Logical contact between Melchior's e-brain and Registeel DNA computer has been accepted."

"What do you think, Melchior? Aside from the loose actuator in Unit-04 left leg, I'd say we're good."

The glitch creature only nodded in compliance. Master knew these machines better than it did, after all. It would see to it that the actuator was fixed in time for deployment.

"Freude, schöner Götterfunken" he sang, as all signs went green "Tochter aus Elysium..."

They were ready for deployment.

He'd glance over to the others and then to the Colonel's gun, shaking his finger a little, "Now that wouldn't much do, especially since it's all worked out for the best... well aside from your daughter's wounds, but she'll live... for now."

The Tree of Dreams rests atop a hill on the last unexplored island in this sunless sky. Yet despite the lack of a sun, soothing light shines from all around behind it. The illumination radiates down through the branches in streams that strike the surface of the grassy knoll. A large hole sits at the base of the tree, facing the bridge.

"Hello. It's been a long time," whispers a quiet voice from behind Bakura, barely loud enough to hear.

LAST TIME ON ROCKETBALL Z!

Our current Heroine, the scientist Rika, had been dispatched to Reverse Mountain in search of a strange mutation of a Conkeldurr. As of this moment she was still just outside of the city near the caves, and on a search for information...

Her poketech pung once more as Dat patched her through to Brandon.

"Alright, you shouldn't be far from the city. Do you want to ask around for any sightings, or just get down to business?"

He was dressed in a black vest, black pants, a dark grey shirt with black pinstripes, and a deep red tie. His hair was silver, somewhat unkempt in the front and pulled into a ponytail in the back. His eyes, piercing and soulless, were the same colour as his hair.

"Hello" he said, in a voice that was both manic and calming. "My name is Cain, and you are all about to die."

The glitches around him splinter into fragments and reassemble next to the healing water, instinctively making use of its restorative properties. This left the Mage the only one still outside.

The attacks would never make it to their intended target. The moment they got close, they collided with an invisible barrier. Fading into existence from nothing, a figure made its appearance at Cain's side. A male Gardevoir, the source of the barrier, made itself visible as the strikes failed short of their mark.

"Didn't anyone ever teach you that it's impolite to attack people when they're talking?" said Cain, changing his voice to a tone more suitable for speaking with a small child.

His left hand he withdrew from the pocket of his pants, his handheld firmly grasped. Across the keypad his fingers flew, issuing an unseen command to the mothership above.

"Deus Ex Machina, this is Cain. Ground is clear, we are go for launch. I repeat, ground is clear, we are go for launch."

The clouds parted, revealing the massive aerial battleship that had ferried Cain and his toys from Europe all the way to Sinjoh. Six shapes could be seen flying away from the warship, landing on the ground with a great crash, kicking up a flurry of snow where they landed.

Six of them there were, standing each roughly twenty feet tall. Their shape was reminiscent of a Registeel, but the titans were clearly man-made. As Cain snapped his fingers, the seven optic sensors on each unit's head shone with brilliant red light.

"I know that at least one of you is familiar with Silph's Mass-Production Registeel series" he said, looking at the Colonel "But are there any others among you that know what these are?"

"No?" he responded, not waiting for an answer. "Then allow me to enlighten you. The Mass-Production Registeel series was concieved with the idea of rolling infantry, armor, and pokemon warfare into a single battlefield unit capable of fighting longer and hitting harder than any one of its predecessor components. They are the most efficient, deadly, and beautiful pieces of military hardware ever devised by human hands, capable of tearing an entire city apart with their bare hands; and I alone know how to operate them."

Cain's fingers sped across the keypad of his handheld as he bragged, transmitting another unseen code. Melchior's eyes shone, matching the hue and intensity of the deep scarlet that shone from the Registeels eyes. Six target reticules appeared on the ground, encircling the party.

"It's just such a shame that you'll all be dead before you can appreciate the finer aspects of my wondrous killing machines.

Oh yes, it was exactly as Hans had feared. "Verdammt!" he exclaimed. Without him, these would still be languishing away in the ruins of the Antarctic base. Without him, Cain would still be barely scraping by as the warlord of some shit tribe in Africa. Now, he was well-funded, well-equipped, and given the keys to his favourite destructive toys.

"It's all my fault..." he said, clenching his fists until his fingers turned white inside his gloves. "So I've got to be the one to fix this!"

If there was a barrier, Stolloss would solve it. After all, that's what the tank of a dinosaur had been bred to do- Tear down walls far tougher than what this stupid psychic-type was throwing out.

Completely ignoring the signs that this was a terrible idea that wouldn't work, he commanded Stolloss to charge headlong at the titans.

*...You're done talking now, right? I can start smashing your face in?* If only it were that easy. Samus was quite familiar with how well Gardevoir protected their trainers; as such, the Blaziken knew she'd have to drop it before she could hit anything else. Fortunately she had a move just for this kind of matchup, rushing in and leading off with a Shadow Claw. [0 crits because high odds.]

"Amazing" said Cain, picking himself off the ground as attack after attack smashed through the Gardevoir's barrier, knocking him out cold (and the small mage even took a few stabs at him, to boot). "Simply amazing. I had been assured that Avalon was the strongest barrier-producer at my disposal, but it looks like someone lied to me."

"No, it's far more likely that this is the same ferocity these fools showed the clown. But there's no way any mere mortal can match the killing power of my Registeel series."

Melchior had been hit by the cascading waterfall, rendering the technological wonder inert for the moment, but it was too late. The command input had already been accepted, and the targets had already been locked.

"I think what's about to come deserves some appropriate music" Cain said, typing something into his handheld. "A bit of Tchaikovsky aught to do the trick."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4h7NGMz2RI

Music began to play, emanating from the chrome handheld in Cain's grasp. A recognizable tune, for sure. The famous finale to the 1812 Overture.

This could only be bad, given what the overture's finale was known for.

The shoulder pauldrons of the six Registeels opened, revealing missile batteries hidden within.

"Ready?" asked Cain, twirling like a ballerina as the climax prepared to rear its head. "Celestial Concerto: Cadmium Missile Barrage!"

Cain declared the name of his attack as the cannons began to boom, and streams of missiles poured forth from their shoulder compartments, battering everything in their path.

And then everything and one was frozen. Unfortunately, his burning urge to violently murder everyone involved wasn't hot enough to thaw the ice. He'd happily burn up the last of his host's strength if it was used to try out his new blade on Cain, stabbing him over and over and over until everyone thought twice before even considering approaching the ruins. Until everyone knew that nothing was permitted to stand between him and Marik.

The opening attack hadn't worked, but the Black Mage and Dark Warriors had gotten the job done, at least. One less enemy to worry about.

None of the team was prepared for when the missile barrage hit. Paula and Cassandra were unable to move at all, the Gardevoir and Absol standing by their equally immobile trainer. Even Samus, the Blaziken leading the fight, had been stopped in her tracks. By all accounts Cain had won the fight then and there, with the press of a single button.

That is, if the ice around one of them hadn't started to first melt, then crack, and finally shatter a few moments later. One of their team was still in the fight; Samus had turned up the heat to break herself out, the Blaziken flinging herself directly at Cain with a Flare Blitz. *You think that'll stop ME?!*

Wait, no, it seems he resigned too soon, his Weavile giving him a thumbs up, looking fully healed, having taken a sip of the healing water while everyone was distracted. Ice types didn't freeze. It also looked like the Weavile took after it's trainer, returning his pokeballs it had swiped to heal along with itself.

>>23421632
The Weavile rushed Cain seconds after the Blaziken with the element of surprise, unseen until the second its beat down began, drawing out power from each and every one of it's master's pokemon, and possibly each of Black Mage's that were now in his possession, striking hard again and again.

Sadly, of the many things the Wondertomb could resist, freezing was not one. Wonderfag became encased in ice along with the rest.

Black Mage was frozen in the middle of charging at Cain with his two daggers, and his cluster of glitches (and former glitches) soon followed. Initially he began working himself into a frenzy trying to break out of the frost, but then calmed down and began analyzing the situation, replaying the attack in his head. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. He'd have to learn from this.

Back when the missile locks had first been set, one of the Dark Warriors had been bravely hiding from the rest of the fight.

His Mightyena was just as frozen as everyone else though, and the teenaged vampire was hardly a capable combatant without his spellbook.

Choosing to continue his previous strategy, he ducks back behind his cover.

Cain surveyed the frozen aftermath of his Registeel series' onslaught as his handheld blasted... Severely appropriate music, as it were. Ironic, but appropriate. "Beautiful" he marveled "Absolutely breathtaking."

"All that's left is to deal with the bodies" he said, ticking orders into his handheld...

>>23421632

What's this? The Blaziken had broken free of its frozen confines, forcing Cain to override his previous commands "Unit-04, move to intercept" he said, inputting the command to the singular titan.

The massive mechanical behemoth moved with lightning speed, grabbing Samus' fist as she swung it at Cain. The impact sent shockwaves racing up through the machine's arm, causing numerous plates of armor to shatter, revealing the mechanical internals.

"This one can still fight? That will have to be rectified. Unit-04, deal with the bird."

Cain's fingers swiftly typed out his command, and the Registeel responded. A target reticule, the same as the ones that had encircled the party before the missile barrage, made itself visible on Samus' chest.

>>23421944

And while Cain was distracted dealing with Samus, he neglected top notice the Weavile that had sneaked up on his position. And then it struck, beating on Cain with the force of many enemy pokemon. The blows sent the silver-haired youth flying, and his handheld was sent flying even further, landing some distance behind him as he hit the ground, kicking up a flurry of snow as he landed.

"Shit..." he said, grasping his chest. He was certain that several ribs had been broken, and it seemed to him that he may have been blinded in his right eye as well. "Shit, shit..."

Reaching to his belt, he called forth a Gengar. "Marduk, possess Avalon's corpse and get my shield back up" he said, scrambling to reclaim his handheld as the ghost took control of the Gardevoir's corpse.

Cain had retrieved his handheld. It was coverd in snow, and the cold stung his hand, but he didn't care. Right now, all he cared about was killing these impudent bastards. His fingers struggled, but he managed to input the encessary command to, as he put it, "Fuck that stupid fucking weasel up".

Units 03 and 06 were the first responders, charging Weavile with fists ablaze as Unit-01 stood back and threw another target reticule on the ice-type.

Samus was quite pleased with the amount of damage she'd dealt to one of those giant robots. It hadn't been enough to knock it out, but against something that size she might need a few hits. Getting locked on to was something she'd simply have to suck up; right now taking out that Gengar was more important. Rushing at the now-possessed Gardevoir corpse with another Shadow Claw, she was aiming to stop further offense in its tracks. [0 crits due to high odds.]

The rest of Mike's team remained unable to move, still trapped in the ice generated by those missiles. It wasn't immediately harmful, but the longer that went on, the more damage it would do. [2 or 7 break out of ice.]

For being the most recent addition to his team, it seemed Bakura had underestimated the ice type by quite a bit. Thanks to it, it seemed like the Thief King was sticking around to see the fight through.

The flaming punches knocked the Weavile back, slightly scorched but landing on its feet.

Samus' claw strike would impact against Avalon's barrier; further away, Weavile's strike against Unit-01 was thwarted by the same, their attacks bounding off the hazy purple telepathic shield. Without missing a beat, the Gardevoir puppet retaliated against his assailant with another psychic assault.

>Psychic

Now, once more safely behind his psychic barrier, Cain could relax for at least one more round; the time he had gained was vital. Quickly, he typed out the necessary commands for his active units.

Internally, he breathed a sigh of relief that Samus had broken off her attack on Unit-04, as the chest panels on it opened, revealing an energy condenser embedded in the machine's torso.

Any luck Cain might have had that round faded as Vilbert's biting attack once again brought Avalon and his shield down.

Samus' claw strike would impact against Avalon's barrier; further away, Weavile's strike against Unit-01 was thwarted by the same, their attacks bounding off the hazy purple telepathic shield. Without missing a beat, the Gardevoir puppet retaliated against his assailant with another psychic assault.

Now, once more safely behind his psychic barrier, Cain could relax for at least one more round; the time he had gained was vital. Quickly, he typed out the necessary commands for his active units.

Internally, he breathed a sigh of relief that Samus had broken off her attack on Unit-04, as the chest panels on it opened, revealing an energy condenser embedded in the machine's torso. The whir of spinning turbines was heard as the device roared to life, shooting sparks of electricity as they spun ever faster.

Another round of combat had effectively been wasted. Samus had been unable to get in with any of her own moves so far, and now that that enemy Gardevoir was back on its feet... somehow... that would just make the fight even harder.

The combined mental assault and electric blast didn't help either. The Blaziken was forced back several yards, running low on stamina and now suffering from bouts of paralysis to boot. She'd have to get desperate to stay in this fight...

That might be just what she needed. It had been a long time since she'd had to use this move, and she'd only have the power to do it once... If she could just get herself to move enough to use it, the enemy forces would suffer a devastating blow. Raising both talons up, she was going for what looked to be a fist slam into the ground. [3 and 8 fail to finish due to paralysis. If success, second part to follow.]

In the meantime, the rest of Mike's team had managed to break enough of the ice around them to be able to do things again. They were out of standard medicine, and there was enough of Giratina's miracle water for only one use per party member; to that effect, the rest of the team would have to try to break everyone else out. [Everyone else gets +1 to thaw rolls next round.]

Still got it, the old bird did; her fists smashed into the floor, generating several geysers of flame, each erupting farther from her than the last. Enough of them would be conjured to catch every one of the robots in their wake, as well as their operator. Let's see them get up from that!

The Weavile was getting tired now, but it had done well, judging by the grin it saw on Bakura's face. The shields were down now, and it went in for another Low Kick.

Locked onto or not, the Thief King didn't care. He had wanted to give Cain the honor of being the first to taste his new blade, but he wasn't sure he could get past the Registeel units. If he couldn't, there probably wasn't any harm done, he seriously doubted they would feel it the same way a human would. This would have been so much easier if he had saved any of his energy.

Too late for that now. He rushed at Cain, trying to duck past the Regis, slashing at whatever stopped him. If he made it past he'd tackle the kid with the remote, blade first. Ever a thief, his aim was to get that handheld away from him, regardless of if he could make use of it or not.

Who the fuck did this brat think he was? A waste of his time, that's who. If he didn't accidentally kill him, he'd have work to do once the Registeel units were out of the way. At least take a few minutes to probe his mind, and at most... well, it had been a while since there had been any prisoners confined in his shadows...

And there it was! The ice shattered around Hans and his saurian behemoth. Hans struggled to catch his breath, never mind that his skin had started to turn blue with frostbite while under the ice.

"Stolloss, attack one of the units that's locked on to a teammate."

Roaring with fury, the iron dinosaur charged at the nearest unit, fist ablaze as it leaped into battle against the steel titans.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz_DNrKVrQ8 was the song Cain had selected to play from his handheld as Vilbert, Weavile, and Blaziken fell to his Registeels' strikes. Cackling like a maniac, he neglected to notice that not all of them had actually fallen...

>>23433547

This one was definitely active though, smashing into Unit-06 with a flaming punch that knocked the machine off target.

>>23433499
>>23433533

So engrossed in the carnage was Cain that he neglected to realize that not all of his opponents had fallen before the might of the Registeel series. The ground erupted with fury as the Blaziken threw everything she had into this last strike. The resultant eruption of flame and earth dealt massive damage to the six titans. When the dust had cleared and the smoke had settled, there stood Silph's the remnants of Silph's Registeel series. Huge holes had been torn through their iron chassis, clean through to the other side, revealing the intricate network of mechanical components that had once made them work. The intense heat had melted what it had not destroyed, fusing together the armor plating that hadn't been torn to shreds.

The last remnants of the greatest weapons ever devised by the Lorenz regime had finally been eradicated.

>>23433537

Through all the smoke and fire, Cain had been too distracted to notice that Bakura had lunged at him, blade drawn. The thief would feel his blade impact flesh, and he felt himself and his target falling to the ground, though obscured by the smoke kicked up from Samus' attack, he couldn't see what he had stabbed.

When the air had cleared, he would find himself lying on top of Cain, dagger through the right hand of the silver-haired youth. His handheld, Bakura would find, was still clasped firmly in his left hand, despite the pain and pressing urge to grasp his pained right hand. Blood pooled on the snowy ground, staining the white blanket red with Cain's blood.

... Right? But, with the Registeels destroyed, there's no more buttons left for Cain to press, right? And furthermore, this isn't a nuke fight, right?

In pain, coughing up blood, and pretty sure that he was blind in one eye, Cain still found time to laugh.

"You... You think this is over?" he said, spitting blood in Bakura's face as he spoke. "You worthless fucks are going to die on this rock, you know that?"

Weakly, he typed a command into his handheld. When he had finished, he released the device, and Bakura would see a single phrase, flashing red, on the device's display.

"Orion Launch Code Accepted. N3 Tactical Strike Approved"

Bakura's first sight upon opening the doors of Cain's mind was the view from inside a large glass tube. Through the slight reflection of the dusty glass, Bakura could make out a face- Cain's- as it peered through the liquid which his body was suspended in. Inadvertently, Bakura was seeing through Cain's own eyes.

A figure came into view- A blonde female wearing a lab coat. Embedded in her temples were large silver bolts. She would be familiar to Bakura as Zera's wife, though to the person inside the tube, she was unknown. Signs written in Russian could be seen, and it soon became apparent that this was some sort of laboratory. The water drained, and Bakura felt himself (Cain) falling, feeling his (Cain's) feet touch the floor of the tube.

Cain spoke, though Bakura would have trouble making out most of what he was saying.

Bakura felt another figure, pressed against his body, though nothing that Cain was seeing showed him in contact with another person, as the scene had now shifted to an office that, by the look of the scene by the window,w as somewhere in Saffron.

"What are you doing in this body? a voice asked. It was alike to Cain in the way it sounded, but the tone was softer, much less menacing. "Who are you, and what are you doing in this mind?"

"In life, I used the name "Adam"," the voice replied. Bakura would feel himself pull away from Cain's eyesight, leaving a scene involving Lorenz's daughter and her now-husband copulating as he (Cain) watched from a well-hidden vantage point, to be greeted by an exact duplicate of Cain... Or, perhaps, Cain was a duplicate of this person, seeing as cloning had been involved. "But in here, or rather, in the rare instances when I assume control of that body, I'm known as "Abel"."

"I was the original version of the despicable monster whose head you've chosen to invade. When I killed myself, my soul found its way back to the place of its birth, and tried to inhabit the body that had been built for it. Unfortunately, mother is far better at crafting than she realizes, and the body she made for me was already in possession of another soul by the time I arrived. I was forced to lay dormant while a monster using my image walked the earth."

"Though, given that both our bodies were clones made from the DNA of Keehl Lorenz, I suppose that one could argue that we are both using the image of his youth.

Despite being disconnected from Cain's field of vision, Bakura was still receiving images. Cain was dressed in a black and purple flight suit, sitting inside what appeared to be a highly advanced cockpit. He spoke to himself, and Bakura could feel something speaking back. The words "Registeel" and "synchronization" made themselves clear, and the implication that Cain had somehow fused his consciousness with that of those war machines became evident.

"If I am, then I have a favour I would ask of you. Though the facility where we were born has long been abandoned, the directives which mother initiated should still be running. If this body were to die, another one would be synthesized, and my soul would go to it when it left this one. I would like you to go there and extract the other soul, so that I might have my own body again."

"If you agree to do this for me, I shall answer any questions that you may have."

Synchronizing one's consciousness with a machine... He couldn't imagine that. Nothing short of a flesh and blood body.

A little taken aback at Adam's correct guess, he considered. He could certainly do it out of kindness, knowing the struggle of sharing a body, but on the other hand, the clear justification he would be telling everyone else was that it would prevent another Cain from being 'born'.

"I'll do it, then. It's an easy task for me."

He'd keep BM from stabbing the shared body to the point of death if needed.

"Thank you" replied Adam. "I am forever in your debt."

The image fo Adam faded away, and Bakura would find himself once more viewing the world through Cain's eyes. Fire, he saw fire, as the young man put the torch to buildings for no discernible reason. Heat, but not the heat of fire, enveloped Bakura, and he saw the desert plains of Africa, looking out upon the band of child soldiers Cain had somehow come to lord over. He saw the Colonel, dressed in tropical khakis and accompanied by a young girl that could only be his daughter. They were speaking with Cain, though most of what they said was unintelligible. "Registeel" again made itself prominent, as did "Rockets" and "revenge". Ever by the boy's side was Melchior, the Porygon that had accompanied the boy.

He saw a meeting of three men- Cain, the Colonel, and a third figure- Short, rotund, wearing a white suit, his eyes hidden behind thick round spectacles. They discussed their plans in some metal room. Hans handed Cain a suitcase, and the words "Orion" and "N3" became the central focus in Bakura's mind. He saw Cain crack the briefcase open, commanding Melchior to access any morsel of information that it could. he saw the launch code flash in Cain's eyes "Reticence" but there was nothing indicating a command to terminate a launch. The power to destroy the world, in the hands of a petulant child.

He heard music, the famous choral ode of Beethoven's 9th symphony, as he (Cain) made last-minute preparations before the battle. He saw Cain's descent on the mountain through the boy's own eyes, feeling the same exhilarating sense of freedom as he flew through the air balanced atop Melchior. He saw the battle from Cain's perspective, and he saw himself. Pain, Bakura felt pain in his right hand, and he saw himself stabbing Cain and tackling him to the ground. He felt the fingers of his left hand as they typed the launch code into the handheld.

Then, he saw nothing.

He pulled himself back into his own mind, pleased to find that very little time had passed outside. He wasn't pleased to find that there was no way of terminating the launch.

"Go ahead and stab, just don't kill him. I need him alive." His tone suggested this was non-negotiable. It also suggested he had a more malicious reason for this than he actually did.

>>23433768
"I really wish you weren't right about that." He snatched the handheld from Cain and held it up. "I don't know just what an N3 is, but I couldn't prevent him from launching it, and there's no canceling it."

The word "N3" when spoken by Bakura, instantly drew Hans' attention. He walked over to Bakura, a look of remorse in his eyes as he spoke. "An N3 is a non-nuclear fuel-air bomb that was developed by Silph back in the day. Imagine the blast radius of the largest nuclear warhead ever designed, and then magnify that by some incredibly large number."

"If Cain's launched even one N3, then we're all dead because we won't have time to escape the blast radius. If he launched all six of them, then this whole area is about to be turned into a crater the size of Berlin."

"For all the trouble I've caused, I'm sorry."

The scientist would look at each of them. Being former sliph he had heard of the rumored N3s, but he had vanished before they were completed, still it was enough that he didn't need to use his imagination.

"So they want to level the mountain, do they?" Black Mage looks between the colonel and executive. "I still need this temple."

"So we'll just have to make sure the temple isn't here when the missiles hit." Turning to his glitches he begins giving orders, "Spread out, open portals throughout the Distortion World. Doesn't matter where as long as there are other glitches on the other side. Draw in as many glitches as you can. Priority is to the swarms of .4. We need enough to cover the temple."

Mike was still busy trying to get his team back up to full strength. Samus' massive burst of firepower had somehow dealt far more damage than even she had thought possible; regardless, it was a win for the right side. Now the Blaziken just felt like she wanted to take a nap... Not a permanent one, but still.

The mention of what was coming got hid attention. "Wait... WHAT?!" That much firepower would make dust out of the entire mountain and anything that was on it. The only way out would be to warp, and they'd have to leave the buildings behind to do it.

>>23436051
The Dark Warriors had been one step ahead of him, it seemed. "Sophia can get us out of here, but the more she's taking along the more time she needs to charge up. Paula can't do it herself, but she can lend a hand. They'll be next to get on their feet again." Giratina's miracle water was still flowing as freely as ever; Mike's entire team would now have a chance to get their part of it, at least.

"You don't listen, do you? I told you, I already did that whole dying thing once today. Not exactly eager to do it again." Unless Mike and his team moved fast, though, they wouldn't exactly be able to. Everyone on both his teams was out by this point; they'd all need to be at maximum strength for this escape plan to work. "OK, I think I got it. It's pretty ridiculous, but it's the best shot we got."

"Hal, I need you to see what you can do to find those missiles. Reprogram them off course if you can; an ocean landing is what you're aiming for." With no assistance, it was unlikely the Porygon-Z would be able to do it.

"Paula and Sophia, you two will have to teleport either us out of here or, if possible, those missiles." `You want us to do WHAT?` -Even with us working together, we are unlikely to divert even a single missile.- "I didn't say it would be easy, or even possible; I said that's what we need." Both Gardevoir would get to work, but it'd take a miracle for them to pull that off.

"Jeff and Sunny, you need to be prepared to carry as many passengers as possible, and get as far the hell away from here as you can." The Magnezone and Tropius were among the few that could fly; each could reasonably carry only two people, which meant teams would have to be recalled.

"Everyone else... I'm still working on that part."

Meanwhile, PT and Window had opened up small portals into the Distortion World and various glitches had begun to file out. Multicolored squares, patches of empty space that hurt to look at, more of those tiny purple ricks, liquid static, a myriad of impossible things began to gather in and around the temple. The Black Mage was calling them here from the other side.

Even if it were possible for the glitches to move the temple elsewhere or pull it into the Distortion World, the 'safety' of that procedure remained in doubt. Black Mage had previously scrambled some organs and faces with his portals and it might be best to keep working on other solutions while he prepares.

As Bakura drew his knife from Cain's right hand, a curious thing happened. The blood vessels in the hand, and those stretching about halfway up his arm, turned a deep violet. Cracks formed on the skin of Cain's hand and arm, as though his flesh had turned to glass.

He didn't even flinch when Bakura drove that knife into his other hand, and the rapid movement of his eye would be the only indicator that he was in fact pained by this new stab wound.

As Bakura's Porygon began to work at cracking the handheld, something strange happened that he would never have expected. Melchior, who had fallen to the ground when Samus' attack struck, had joined Zedicus' side, lending his own aid to the de-encryption process.

Together, they were able to decipher... Two letters. "Re", the display showed, with the remaining letters still locked.

"Orion Termination Code Accepted. N3 Tactical Strike Aborted" flashed on the handheld's display. The crisis was over.

A high-pitched, piercing whistle could be heard, as the six warheads fell from their orbiting satellite with incredible speed. Then, the sound of metal erupting was heard, followed by the sound of titanium detritus falling, impacting against the mountainside with tremendous fury. The mountain would be spared the destructive power of the six N3 warheads this day, suffering only minor scarring.

"You... Worthless... Fuckers..." Cain gasped for air as he spoke, and he struggled to raise his right arm- If he couldn't kill them any other way, he'd just strangle them with his own hands. But, as he lifted his arm, it suddenly broke- The cracks became greater, and with his sudden movement they splintered, breaking off the entirety of his right hand and much of his forearm in the process.

The broken fragments took on the colour of the snow, pure white an crystalline. A familiar aroma filled Cain's nostrils, and as he stared at the ruin of his arm, he gasped "This... Why am I... Turning to salt?"

"What did you do to me?"

From nearby the PT makes a few deep bass noises indicating that the Black Mage requires the Sinjoh Temple intact to deliver his followers their reward. As such, they are to engage repairs manually.

Apparently called Window, a glitch previously belonging to Bikke, the other makes no noise and instead communicates through alterations in quadrangle patterns. It indicates a general apathy and simple need to be doing something.

There's also the Doomblock nearby, which is still 'unconscious'. More like inert really.

"Perfect that I only stabbed your hands then, saves me the time of cutting them off or trying to bind them to keep you out of trouble until I can kill you."

"Why salt though, I'm not quite sure. Probably symbolic," he mused.

"Is it over yet? Do we win now?" Giratina might've restored Mike to physiological perfect health, but psychologically he was still a wreck. He'd been operating on his current mentality for so long it'd be quite difficult to break him out of it. When the hell was everything going to hurry up and stop trying to kill either him or the world so he could just go the hell home already?

Likely, there wasn't much Bakura would need to do to shut Cain up. Once his hand had turned to salt, he shut up real quick.

Melchior seemed to show no remorse at the loss of its master's limb; but then, Porygon weren't renowned for their displays of emotion. It would hover beside Bakura, as if to say "Take me with you, away from this monster wearing my master's skin".

...That was it, then, it seemed. Maybe now he could finally go home a hero. That is, if the weight of his deeds didn't crush him on the way. It had been nearly four years since he had been there... Who knew if it was even still standing?

"All right... Everyone ready?" Most of the team seemed to be, vaguely, but they all picked up on Mike's emotional state; many of them felt the same way. They'd saved the world... but would they be any use in any other regard any more?

Black Mage doesn't seem to have any interest in leaving. He remains in his position focusing while the glitches begin bringing out blocks of material from the Distortion World; the material they'd pilfered from the real world in the first place.

Intent on bringing Bikke along, Garland calls out the pirate's Machamp to carry him. The knight himself is carrying Vilbert and keeping Bikke suppressed.

The change of management of MooMoo farm had barely been noticed. The first sign of any change was the replacement of the normal friendly farm hands with gruff former military men who seemed to barely speak a word of Japanese, and who barred people from visiting over half the farm. As suspicious as it was, the results more than made up for it for over the course of the past 3 years the farm had doubled in size and tripled in production, reaching a strange almost super-natural level of efficency under the new employees.

In truth however the farm held a deep and dark secret, it was the long time logistics base for the covet military forces hiding out in Johto, and with the orders of their master, their final tools were unleashed.

"Much better. Although, if I remove my knife, is the same thing going to happen to your other arm? At least it wasn't your leg, my pokemon have more than earned their rest, so you're going to be walking."

With that he stood up, removing his knife from his hand, sheathing it and waiting.

Well no, there was no reason that a wild Porygon-Z would be living in these mountains. However, this was no wild Porygon-Z, but one owned by a member of the UN's formerly elite anti-terrorism strike team. I say formerly because they had one job to do and they managed to fuck it up before they even arrived.

"Real bang-up job you guys did taking on the Registeels" said the Porygon's owner, a Japanese man with a scraggly beard. "I'm just glad Porygon got here in time to help you disable the N3 strike, or we'd all be ashes by now."

Accompanying him was the unit commander, a female that Bakura would recognize from the visions in Cain's head as Lorenz's daughter.

>>23438369

"Colonel Lübeck, I presume?" the female asked, glancing over to Hans. "The JGSDF has your daughter in protective custody. You'll be reunited with her after you've given us some answers."

As Bakura removed the knife, Cain watched silently as the same process worked its way through his hand and up his arm. He'd be sure not to make any sudden movements, lest this one disintegrate as well. He would stand, in agony, as he mentally prepared to march to whatever fate the white-haired thief had in store for him.

Not like he had much of a choice in the matter, really.

>>23438565

Oh, look at that. Right in the nick of time. "Hello, sister" he said to the female. "What's it been now, four years? You're looking well."

From the tone in his voice, it was obvious that he meant none of the things he had said. "Still fucking your witless secretary? Still trying to pretend that you can ever live a normal life? How did the UN even let you have this position, knowing who you are?"

Well, that much he obviously meant as he said it.

"We had been sent here to deal with the soldiers stationed in the area, but when we arrived, you guys had already dealt with them. We made preparations to leave, but stuck around when we saw the Registeels land."

"Had things gotten really bad, we'd have jumped in to help, but it looks like once again we were useless."

"Anyway, now that the worst is over, we're free to give you all a ride back to wherever it is you're headed."

The airship had moved on not long after the drop off, which left the sky now mostly clear but for the faint smoke from the now extingushed fires, no enemies were left, and with Cain out of the picture it was clear that the enemy was out of tricks, only a small series of beeps followed by a head explosion of some of the more intact Registeels gave any indication that there was anything left to fight... other than a faint buzzing.

He sighed, having hoped that the other one wouldn't have had to suffer.

"I need to get my strength back, I used it all up. I only managed to get into your head on a technicality, that the energy was being forced through your body, not mine. If I'm going to destroy a soul, I need to be able to channel it myself." He lowered his voice. "I took damage I can't just shrug off, but a single night of rest should get me well enough to manage it."

Everything would be taken care of with the night that was still approaching, but had already happened. He knew in the morning things would be better, but he couldn't see what was going to happen before that.

It pained him seeing him like that. Probably reminded him of the situation with Marik, but the contrast between the two consciousnesses even starker.

Th ride over had been exceptionally choppy, thanks in no small part to the missile strike that had begun just as takeoff was commencing; nor did it help that, although the Sikorsky was air-worthy, it had yet to completely recover from the AA guns that had struck it earlier. Like it or not, the vessel would be making an emergency stop in Kanto. For most, this would not be a problem.

Mike and his team had gotten on board, the trainer once again mentally numbing himself as he stepped on. The larger team members had to be recalled, but the smaller and/or humanoid ones were fine for the time being.

...Or, they would be, if they hadn't come under one last attack. "Damnit! Everybody fan out! We're going to take those other planes down!" Those that weren't fighting would take shelter in the helicopter, while those outside would be largely without support.

Given what they were made of, this meant the only practical 'mons on Mike's teams were Jeff and Gaspar, his Magnezone and Gengar. The Magnezone was tough enough to stand up to most firepower, and the Gengar could simply phase through everything, so it wouldn't be too hard for them, but anyone else would've only gotten themselves hurt badly, by either the V1 fighters or the Sikorsky itself. [Basic electric/steel attacks until one side goes down.]
