Pokemorph: The Reign of Lord Regime

[Wolf in the Rain]

"Wait a sec..." said Marcus, still confused about what just happened, as well as the addition of the so called 'prince', an Alakazam, and the Rayquaza-morph. "You just waltz in here and take command of us? Just 'we'll head for Blackthorn tomorrow' and that's it? You just walk in here and treat us like your dogs? What makes you think you can even get close to doing that?! And you!" His voice rose as the situation began to dawn on him, and he pointed to the so called 'prince' with a paw " I'm guessing you're the same Prince Earliat, slash, Royal, I've heard about. I've heard rumors about you working with the Neo-Vexans. How the hell can we trust a son of a Royal, even better, a Neo-Vexan! I'm also guessing you're the one that just bloody attacked us! And we can't forget Dragon-boy over here." Marcus yelled, now getting even more agitated about this situation. "You just attacked 'with them', as in 'against us'. How are we supposed to trust you?"

Sparks jumped across Marcus' body as he awaited an answer.

"Oh for heaven's sake get a grip!" Taylor shouted furiously, using her speed in order to 'walk' over and slap Marcus harshly across the face, not caring how he would react in the slightest. "This is the best chance we have of fighting, and you're too proud to even consider it?! You might be a Morph, but you need to just grow up!"

Taylor turned and slipped her hand into her pocket, taking out a mint and placing it on her tongue, allowing the flavor to help cool her temper, though not much. She walked away, shaking her head and allowing small sparks of familiar flame to prick up and down her arms. She slipped into the woods and leaned against a tree, sliding down the rough bark, just now realizing how tired she was. But she had a feeling this fight wouldn't be the last. Not by a long shot.

"Oh for heaven's sake get a grip!" Taylor shouted furiously, using her speed in order to 'walk' over and slap Marcus harshly across the face, not caring how he would react in the slightest. "This is the best chance we have of fighting, and you're too proud to even consider it?! You might be a Morph, but you need to just grow up!"

Taylor walked into the woods next to the station and leaned against a tree, leaving Marcus with her words. He rubbed his cheek with a paw, and under the fur, you could begin to see a hand shaped red mark begin to form.

"It's not that... not this time..." Marcus muttered through clamped teeth and stopped rubbing his cheek, "I'm not going back there, no matter what." He turned to Earliat and the Alakazam, and sparks jumped across the Raichu-morph's body. "I know you had something to do with that place..." He looked at his paw, then looked back at the 'prince' "...And I can't let that go." He turned and headed to the train car where he had left his clothes. As he walked to the train car, he yelled back, "Do what you like, but I still don't trust you."

Tin was anxious to help Duke, Earl, and Zeke. He said he was going to do whatever he could to help the Pokemon world and that's exactly what he meant.

All he could do was watch Marcus become angry over Duke's awesomeness and Taylor get mad over Marcus's temper. It was like everyone was mad at each other. I wonder who I should side with...Marcus, I think he thinks I'm a weirdo and I've never talked to Taylor....maybe Kalseng. Tin looked over at Kalseng and noticed he wasn't really in the mood for talking. Maybe not Kalseng.

He then looked at Zero but then turned quickly away. He was scared he might set a fuse and send her on an emotional rampage. He then just decided to go near Taylor. She lay at the base of a large tree, the trunk almost twice as big as her.

"Mind if I stay nearby? I'm just gonna be up in that tree." Tin asked, looking up towards the top of the tree. It's dark leaves peaked way up to the sky and it was a perfect climbing tree.

He squatted down and then released his legs, shooting him towards a branch a few feet in the air. He grabbed it and then, while keeping the momentum, he swung forward toward the face of the tree and as his feet hit he let go of the branch and started running up the tree, defying the law of gravity.

He ran for about 3 seconds before gravity finally got control and then he kicked off to a branch nearby. He then did a front flip off the branch and landed on a rather larger one on his feet.

It was amazing...he was able to see everything. It turns out that flip had sent him higher than he thought and he was above all of the pedestrian trees. They weren't as tall as that one. Over to the right he could see tall mountains and the sun seemed to hide behind them, signaling the moon to rise up and take control of the sky. Over to the right he could see the Tin Tower. It was practically destroyed. Fog was lurking above the forest, slowly dropping to ground level. Then before Tin knew it it was pitch dark.

--------------------

Duke growled, "Look, these kids just don't understand. They will when the time is right!" He stopped and put his hand on his knee, leaning forward into the circle.

Duke, Zeke, and Earl had been discussing the plan and the group's behavior when the Raichu morph had interrupted them, rambling about how he had doubt in the three. Sparks began to shoot from his cheeks and then in an instant his face was being hit in the other direction. The girl had slapped him, hard too. The Raichu morph muttered something and then rambled a bit more to Duke and the others then retreated to the destroyed train car.

"Wow. See what I mean?" Duke said, leaning back.

"Yeah. If only he knew what was really going on." Earl then spoke and rested his chin in the palm of his hand with his elbow on his knee.

"Whatever." Zeke just said one word then let the others continue talking.

"Tomorrow we will have to start traveling to Blackthorn." Duke said, putting his hand up to his chin in a "thinking" position.

"Of course." Zeke responded.

"We will have to travel quickly through the forest, there should still be some Royals wandering about; scouting, guarding, whatever. I just know there should be some." Earl claimed, signaling Essence to make a quick run through the dense trees.

"Just get some rest now. We have a long day of ahead of us." Duke got up and stretched a bit. Then he headed towards a nice open field in the area and fell to his back, looking up at the stars. With that, the meeting ended.

 

[Kalseng]

[[OOC: HOLYCRAPIMALIVE.]]

Kalseng broke the connection with the attack, cursing under his breath. The shield disintegrated, and a sharp pain cut through his head. He reached up a tired hand to rub an aching temple. A shiver ran down his body, sending the small droplets of sweat spiraling off his body. They split into smaller little flecks of sweat as they fell downwards, misting the grass beneath him. Kalseng swallowed hard, and took a shaky step forward. His leg quivered, and his step faltered. Kalseng stumbled slightly, and he flicked his hands out to balance himself.

His hand twitched quickly, and he realized that he had accidentally gotten shocked by a small amount of lightening. He quickly closed his hand into a fist, and his body tensed up. "Stupid, weak body," Kalseng murmured. "Can't even stand a few mental attacks." Kalseng staggered towards the Brass Tower, his steps loud and flat. The building grew larger slowly, and he soon lurched towards the building, barely catching himself with his arm as a brace. His hand was firmly planted on the old door, the wood slightly rotted with age. His hand absently reached down to the knob, and he gave it a slight twist. The door opened with a creak, and Kalseng stumbled into the tower.

The old walls looked decrepit and weak, but they were extremely sturdy, ready to stand the force of time. Large, jagged rocks jutted out from the uneven ground, giving the entire building an eerie feel. A Gastly hovered by the ceiling, its gaseous body half phased into the wall, a large, white eye leering at the tired specialist. He slumped against a wall, his body tiredly braced against the rock.

"Just a brief rest," Kalseng murmured before gently drifting into sleep.

The Gastly phased into the Brass Tower, lazily drifting down to Kalseng's resting place. It cuatiously looked the trainer over, and slowly wank into the rock he leaned on, content on keeping a close eye on the youth.

 

[Wolf in the Rain]

Marcus quickly looked around the destroyed train-car, making sure no one was in the car before beginning to morph back to his 'human' form. The orange fur that covered began to recede and his muzzle shrank back into his face as he walked down the aisle to get his clothes. Finding his red shirt, gray hooded jacket, and jeans which he had shed during his transformation, Marcus put them back on while the final patches of fur disappeared and his ears shark back to normal, human size. The transformation soon came to an end. However, much to Marcus' dismay, his Raichu-tail was still there, sticking out of the back of his pants and swaying behind him.

Letting out a disgruntled sigh, he zipped up his jacket and began looking around the train car for anything of use. Suddenly, a weak groan came from farther down the car. Marcus turned to the noise, ready for anything and poised for battle. An injured Sneasel emerged from a pile of collapsed seats, holding it's head in agony. It was the same Sneasel-morph that had attacked them earlier.

Marcus ran at the Sneasel-morph with a closed fist, eager to finish the fight. Electricity and energy pulsed through his body as he took a mighty swing at the Sneasel. Rapidly, the Sneasel dodged with Quick Attack at the last second, jumping out of a destroyed window and dashing into the darkness of the forest.

Marcus regained composure as he watched the Sneasel-morph disappear into the forest, irritated that he couldn't knock the little weasel out for attacking him out earlier, but somewhat content with the fact he had, in a sense, 'won'. Walking back to the front of the train, Marcus checked the luggage, which the passengers left in a hurry, but found nothing of use, mostly just a few clothes and trash. Disappointed by his findings, he exited the train, needing a place to sleep for the night. Like always, he could almost never tell how much energy he had used in 'that' form before turning back to his human form and today, he felt exhausted. Marcus walked down the destroyed station in the direction of the woods soon passing to Taylor, who was still leaning against the tree in deep thought. He gave her a glance and a nod as he passed by her before continuing to find a spot to sleep in the woods. After traveling deep into the woods, Marcus soon came upon a clearing, not far from the pond and meadow where Zero had run away to. There was perfect bliss in this spot, the wind blew gently through the grass while the trees parted to reveal the night sky, an ideal place for Marcus to clear his mind and relax.

<This was the second time that body has almost taken me over.> Marcus thought to himself as a cool breeze blew through the woods, splashing his face with it's gentle kiss. <I just feel… different… in that form. Not in the sense that it's not somewhat like me, but I just feel more energetic. Just… not myself>

He laid down in the grass, still deep in thought as he stared at the full moon. He thoughts turned to the so called 'prince' < I know he's plotting something. He has to be a part of that place. The other's may have fallen for his act, but I won't!>

Another cool breeze flowed though the forest, cooling Marcus' temper with it's tender touch. <Taylor, Kalseng… They don't understand, and hopefully, never will have to…>. The stars shone brightly overhead as Marcus lay down and drifted off into sleep.
(OOC: Thread seemed slow so I thought I should do something like this [plus, Marcus needed to change back]:))

[zZRaoto]

Quincy followed Duke as Zeke and Earl found a vacant train car to discuss the matters some more. Tin, he just relaxed up in a tree watching the bright stars accompany the moon in, what looked like to him, a gathering of a great one and peasants; a king giving a speech or just standing awesomely as the others admire his great power.

A few Noctowls or Hoothoot cried out to the night sky as Spinarak chattering flowed through the dense trees of the forest.

Tin was laying on a large branch at the very top of the tree he had climbed up. It was broad enough for two people to lay next each other. A few Pokemon inhabited the high up habitat, including a few rare Pokemon like Mankey and Metapod.

Then as all of the chattering between the nocturnal Pokemon ceased, Tin fell into a deep slumber, dreaming of what life will be like when all the Pokemon are saved.

--------------------

Duke and told Quincy to leave him as he leaned his back onto a tree. He was going to stay up most of the night in case a Royal stumbles into the area.

Tomorrow...is the day. Duke looked up towards the tree a few feet from him and noticed an arm hanging down from it. He then moved his down the tree quickly to see a girl sleeping with her back against the large tree. Then a boy walked by the girl sleeping against the tree and went deep into the forest. Looks like everyone is asleep or going to sleep...

Then Essence teleported next to Duke, gave him a nod that it is safe and then teleported out of sight.

Okay...I guess I can get a little sleep in. Duke said under his breath, walking towards a large shrub that had an opening where no branches grew. It was a good place to rest.

He snuggled into the opening on the shrub and slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep, only to be awaken by a large crash in no more than 10 minutes.

"What the?" Duke crawled out the hole and seen trees falling nearby after loud exploding noises. "Royals....do doubt." Duke ducked behind a tree and waited for the tree tumblers to pass, then he would strike.


OOC: Lol, I was just about to move the story a long with a short battle but you posted first. xD

 

[Mira]

(OOC: mleh, I'm going to assume it is royals... And I think Tin might still be in the tree :P)

Taylor awoke to the creaking sound of something slicing through the air. Her sleep-muddled mind refused to work properly until she felt the vibration of the tree she was leaning against being struck. Her eyes widened and her body awoke with the cruel shock of surprise. The sound of more projectiles met her ears and she dived to the ground, just barely dodging a cluster of leaves that sliced clean through the tree trunk. They were the same kind of leaves Kalseng had shot at them on the train.

The towering tree lost balance and fell, crashing down towards her at a devastating rate. Taylor struggled to roll to the side, unable to use her speed as she wasn't prepared. Her mind lashed out and struck the tree, redirecting it away from her slightly. Taylor let out a cry when the trunk landed on her leg, holding her in place. She braced her hands against it, struggling to push it off of her. Pain erupted from her calf as the branches dug into her skin when a Roserade jumped onto the fallen tree. It looked down at her, a demented smile pasted to its green face.

"Well well," the Morph said in a triumphant tone. "Look what I caught here."

Taylor heard the rustle of branches, signaling the approach of more Royals. She cursed herself for not suggesting someone keep watch. Taylor glared darkly back up into the Morph's face, releasing a physical blast of dark thoughts toward him. The Roserade easily dodged, jumping over her to land behind her head. She attempted to turn to face him, only succeeding in painfully twisting her leg.

"Such a pretty little thing," she heard him say from behind her, seeing a slight purple glow from the corner of her eye. "Too bad death comes just as easily to a pretty mouse as it does all other vermin."

A sharp pain seared through her side as she felt something jab into it. She grit her teeth and swung her hands above her head, sending a powerful blast of flames into the Morph. The Morph slammed into a nearby tree, the impact tearing it from its roots.

Taylor grit her teeth and placed her hands on the tree trunk, the area of wood that pinned down her leg immediately turning to ash. She stood up, clutching her side as it throbbed painfully. She took her hand away from it and saw that it was smeared with blood and a purple substance. Poison. Taylor looked up and saw several more forms creeping out from between the trees.

"Oh crap," she hissed.

 

[zZRaoto]

OOC: Lol! Tin is an acrobat. rawr. But he gets his share of pain.....or hits or whatever.))


Tin was not easily awakened, even with all of the loud crashing of trees around him. When he goes to sleep, he goes to sleep.

Then something hit the tree, causing it to tumble over, still not waking Tin up. He was dreaming. "Pokemon, Pokemon! Oh yeah! Pokemon, Pokemon!" Then he started sleep singing the Pokemon techno theme song.

The tree continued to fall and a sudden jerk on the tree knocked Tin off. He still didn't wake up but just continued to sing. Miraculously, a few feet above the ground Tin woke up. "Holy ****!" He put his hand out in front of him and then waved it forward with an incredible force and then swayed his legs in the same direction. This caused him to put his feet under him, enabling him to land, but he wanted to do something more fancier.

He used enough force to send him into a series of front flips, actually slowing down his falling rate. He then charged electricity around his hands to create a spinning ball of lightning. He continued this up until he was just about 5 feet above the ground. He curled his body in and then twisted his waist, shifting his trick from a front flip to a sort of twister like move with a series of front flips mixed in. Lightning trailed behind him spinning in the same fashion as he was and just a few feet off the ground he put his armored hand out and clenched the earth and immediately stopped spinning. He stood on his armored hand with his legs straight out, making a sort of arrow like image with lightning streamed behind it. It was practically impossible to tell exactly what he did or how he did it.

As he stood on one hand with great pride he heard Taylor's voice. He had been engulfed in a sound of cracking electricity and spinning air he couldn't hear the commotion going on around him. He pushed off his one hand and landed on his feet, facing Taylor. The tree he was sleeping on had already fallen and it seemed like it was incinerated as well.

"Taylor!" Tin cried out, not knowing what was coming from above him. Before he knew it there was a heavy blow right behind his head. He was knocked out.

--------------------

"Damn!" Duke cursed under his breath. He was watching the fight between the girl and a Roserade morph from the same hiding spot behind the tree. He wished not to interfere for he still had a sneak attack planned for the others coming towards the area.

"Approach with caution. I heard there's some pretty powerful morphs over here." A rough voice called out. Armor was clanking and footsteps were easily heard because of the many fallen leaves on the ground.

Then right at the tree was a Royal with a heavy machine gun equipped. Your going down. Duke charged up an Aura Sphere and side-stepped from behind the tree. Right before he could fire his attack there was a loud roar and then a giant red thing charged past him and rammed into the Royal. Duke couldn't even see what happened. The Royal was right in front of him and then it just disappeared after a flash of red cut in front of him.

"Zeke?" Duke said and thought for just an instant. There was still more Royals to fight and they had already prepared to fire.

--------------------

Zeke had heard the commotion going on in the forest and so did Earl. They both looked over and seen the high roof-tops of trees collapsing. Zeke looked over at Earl and he nodded.

First his body became long, stretching out of his clothes. Then his legs slowly became small stubs and his skin turned red with yellow markings. As he stretched out longer and longer his mouth began to form into a dragon snout and his arms slowly changed into fierce looking ones with sharp claws. He continued to grow and grow as his morph completed.

He had already been charging for the forest and as soon as his Morph finished he used Extremespeed and without even trying or meaning to he ran into a Royal. "What the?" He then flew up in fear of running into a tree with a Royal holding on to his face. In the air he picked the Royal off with one of his arms. He looked at the impudent little thing with one glaring eye, winking at the soon to be dead Royal.

He then smiled to show off his giant fangs and slowly opened his mouth. He charged a bright yellowish white beam that grew to a size larger than the Royal itself.

"No...I thought you was with us Zeke!" The Royal recognized him, but it didn't matter. Zeke knew what side he was on and he fired his attack, disintegrating the Royal.

"One down, about a hundred more to go." Zeke said as the ashes from the Royal was blown out of his hand by a passing wind. He looked down and noticed black figures stammering through the forest, preparing a full force attack

 

[Mira]

"Now wasn't the time to show off," Taylor sighed.

Her attention snapped to the Morph that had struck Tin across the back of his head, knocking him out cold. It was a Metang-Morph, its blue rock body floating above the ground as it hovered backwards toward the trees. Taylor stepped in front of the motionless boy defensively, watching the Morph with caution as she lifted her hands to prepare a burst of flames. The Morph she had blasted back earlier was now lying dead in the brush, almost his entire grass-based body having been devoured by her flames.

"Don't move," she heard a commanding voice say from behind her. She spun around to see a Royal stepping out of the cluster of trees, aiming a gun at her chest.

I can take them, Taylor decided, preparing to attack.

"What're we up against?" A Luxio-Morph asked, stepping out from his hiding place as well.

"Nothing," a Cacturn-Morph announced, looked Taylor over with a smirk. "Just a low-grade Specialist."

"No threat at all, then," yet another Morph added.

Anger rushed over Taylor, quickly taking over without any resistance. She directed a hand toward the man holding the gun and it flew from his hand, turning mid-air and aiming at his chest. Before the man could utter a word, a shot rang through the air and the man fell over, obviously dead. The gun dropped to the ground and Taylor lowered her hand, looking at the Morphs with hate glowing deeply in her eyes.

"How much of a threat am I now?" she spat, tiny sparks flying out from between her clenched teeth as she did so.

"A strong-willed fighter, this one is," one of the Morphs laughed. "Too bad that doesn't make her any less weak."

Taylor's expression darkened as pure hate rolled over her. Rage burned inside her veins and flames ran over the course of her body. Without taking her eyes off the Morphs, she directed a hand toward Tin, who floated behind a large rock. In a flash, Taylor flipped open her knife and charged at the Morphs too quickly for them to register. A flurry of flames and dark pulses erupted from her body, not consciously controlled as they were directed toward the enemies surrounding her. Her knife came in contact with the Morphs' bodies several times and Taylor soon found herself covered in blood, though she didn't know whether it was her own or not. Something struck her in the small of the back, but Taylor ignored it, the rage only feeding into her desperate frenzy.

Her anger had taken control.

 

[Wolf in the Rain]

A crash broke the silence of the forest and took Marcus out of his sleep. Quickly jumping up, his eyes narrowed as he looked from tree to tree for the source of the noise. A gentle wind blew through the forest, causing the leaves around him to rustle as Marcus' tail swayed behind him. The full moon slowly emerged from behind grey clouds, lighting up the clearing in it's glow. Marcus sniffed the air, searching for anything. However, the scent of flowers and other Pokémon from the nearby meadow was being carried by the wind, overpowering any nearby scent.

A nearby branch creaked and leaves crackled behind Marcus, causing him to turn to the source. Suddenly, a razor-sharp leaf swept past Marcus' face, catching the side of his cheek embedding itself in a nearby tree. Blood trickled down the side of his face and his tail stopped twitching as the forest fell, once again, into silence and the dark clouds covered the moon. In a flash, a Shiftry appeared on a tree branch in front of Marcus.

"Lucky you, kid." The Shiftry bragged with a slight smile on it's face "The wind threw me off… But no matter, you're still going to die."

Marcus looked straight into the eyes of the Shifty, and another silence fell upon the clearing. All of a sudden, a crazed grin fell upon Marcus face as he began to laugh like a madman, his hands on his knees from the intensity.

"What's so funny?!" The Shiftry hissed, pointing a tree-branch-like arm at Marcus.

"Me?!" Marcus choked out between his laughter, "I've been looking for a pick-me-up, and then your sorry-ass shows up!" Marcus let out a contented sigh as he regained his composure, straightening back up to a fighting stance. "What luck…"



Silence once again fell over the battlefield as the two combatants stared at each other, each one waiting for his opponent to make the first move. Blood dripped down Marcus' face as his tail twitched impatiently, waiting for the impending fight. Suddenly a loud crash came from behind Marcus, and he instinctively turned to look for the source.

The Shiftry saw his chance, and lunged at Marcus with an Agility attack. Marcus' eyes grew wide as he turned his head back around and attempted to dodge the oncoming attack, but it was too late. The Shiftry smashed into Marcus with the whole force of it's body behind it, sending Marcus slamming into a nearby tree. Blood spat out of his mouth upon impact with the tree, sending speckles of red dots onto his jacket. Marcus began to stand back up as Marcus' vision began to blur. But quickly, the Shifty jumped into the air and sent a fury of Razor Leaves at Marcus.


His mind and vision refocused as the razor-sharp leaves raced at Marcus. Still shaken from the last "cheap" attack, he brought up his arms in front of his face to block. Razor-sharp leaves dug into his skin, embedding themselves in Marcus' arms. Blood gushed out of the wounds and ran down Marcus' arms in what looked like red rivers. Marcus collapsed onto both knees as he once again began seeing double vision. He kneeled there, gasping from the pain as the blood steadily dripped off of his hands. The Shiftry casually walk over to where Marcus was kneeled down.

"Heh… your sorry ass just got kicked." The Shiftry laughed, it's trunk-like chest moved rapidly back and forth with every breath.

"You…*cough*... You attacked when I wasn't looking…" Marcus managed to choke out.

"Well, your loss!" The Shiftry shrugged. It pointed a tree-branch-like arm at Marcus, readying for the final attack. "Any last words?"

"Yeah…" Marcus said with a smirk on his face "Zap."

Marcus looked at his tail, during the Shiftry's speech; he had slowly moved it so it was touching the base of the Shiftry's foot. Using all of his remaining strength, Marcus released as much electricity as he could into the Shiftry, causing the whole clearing to glow with the energy he released. The Shitfy let out a horrifying wail as the high voltage energy pulsed through it's body, ravaging it as the energy passed into the ground.

The Shiftry eye's rolled back into it's head as it stumbled backwards, barely able to stay on it's feet. Now seeing his chance, Marcus jumped up, punching the Shiftry in the chin with an uppercut and launching it into the air. With a solid "smash", the Shiftry slammed into the ground and stopped moving. A steady stream of blood gushed out of it's mouth. It gave one last gasp for air before it stopped moving.


Marcus lay down onto his back, steadily panting and resting for a moment before he began to pull the razor-sharp leaves out of his arms. With each one, more blood began to rush out of his arm, leaving deep gashes. Once all of them were out, he sat back up and steadied his breathing. Suddenly, he jumped back up, and his heart beat faster.

<Taylor! Zero!> His mind screamed at him as his eyes grew wide. He had completely forgotten about the rest of the group. He took a step in the direction of the crash from earlier, only to collapse onto his knees. He grinded his teeth as he got back up. He couldn't help in this state.

Although he had a Hyper Potion in his bag which he could use to heal, it would take a while to take effect. He limped over to his bag and pulled out the Hyper Potion, which he immediately sprayed on himself. He sat down propping himself against a tree as the Potion began to take effect, sealing his wounds and giving him energy. Marcus let out a sigh as energy surged back into him and a numbing sensation spread across his body. Marcus looked in the direction of the crash from earlier and he only hoped that the others could hold on until he got there.


(OOC: YAY! A SOOPER LONG POST (Marcus seemed sorta behind a bit)! Sorry bout the spacing (and some of the wording) Microsoft Word screws up everything...)

 

[Snicker_Kicker]

OOC: Okay everyone! I am not grounded anymore! I am taking back control of the RP, but I will still allow zZRaoto co-ownership responsibilities. This means that he will be in charge of sign-ups and the flow of the RP, but wil answer to me.

So, until I am caught up, zZRaoto will still control my characters until the beginning of Part III. Thanks everyone!

 

[zZRaoto]

OOC: Woot! Glad your off your punishment. I didn't wanna move the story along too quickly. I need to ask you a few things as well. lol....))

Duke vanished into thin air leaving a swirl of dust floating in the air from where he had moved from.

He appeared behind a gun carrying Royal in an instant and charged an Aura Sphere right into the opponents back. The attack penetrated the metal armor and ripped through the back of the Royal's bare skin, right through the spine and came out through the stomach.

"Oops!" Duke said as he pulled his hand out quickly and shook off the thick blood and guts mixture. He couldn't tell what was spilling out of the Royal, which had fallen to the ground, more; guts or blood.

He looked at the hole inside the Royal for a few seconds and then ducked down. Another Royal had fired an ice like attack at him, hoping to catch him off guard. Duke used Psychic at the attacker's feet, a Glaceon morph. He moved his hand up and the Morph slowly lifted up off the ground by it's front feet. He then flicked his hand to the side towards a thick tree and the Glaceon Morph was knocked towards the tree, spinning like a rag doll.

Then his arm suddenly became hot and it slowly began to spread up to his shoulder. A simple thing to solve for Duke, he used Extremespeed and ran up a tree, the fire quickly extinguished. About half way up the tree he let his body go and fell towards the ground, feet towards the surface of the ravaged earth.

Now Duke was faced with a Quilava, who had used Ember on his arm, and a rather large Flygon who had joined the other Royal morph when Duke extinguished his arm.

"No sweat. I got this." Duke relaxed and put his hands behind his head. "I'll take you guys out easily...in fact...being the greatest Morph, I might just show off one of them." He continued to brag as the two enemy Morphs looked at him with a puzzled face. They didn't know what he meant when he said "one of them."

--------------------

Earl had been trying to think of how to stop the fighting without revealing his self. He didn't want any Royal to be able to escape and inform his father of how his only son had betrayed him.

"Essence, what do I do? I can't just leave my new friends out fighting." Earl looked over at the Alakazam who had been looking out of the train car at Zeke floating in the air. It was hard to miss a large red Pokemon just sitting still over a dark forest; the color just stood out so much, even in the dark.

<What do you think you should do?> Essence spoke in mind speak, bowing slightly to show that his question did not mean any disrespect. Even though Essence was considered an equal by Earl to himself he still liked to show that he respected the young prince as royalty.

"I don't know...why do you think I'm asking you?" Earl put his hood over his head and hung it down with shame. He should have been out to help the people that were going to accompany him in the destruction of Neo Vexa.

<Well think about the type of powers you have.> Essence replied.

"Telekinesis?" Earl raised his head up, pulled the hood from over his head, and cocked an eyebrow. "How is that gonna help? All I can do is......." He got it now. "Oh!" He said holding the 'O' sound.

"Of course." Earl rose up and as Essence nodded and moved out the way, ready to follow behind him.

"Let's do this!"

 

[Snicker_Kicker]

OOC: Let me get this straight: you guys are at Blackthorn already? If so, zZRaoto, now is a good time to introduce Nigel.

While giving bragging a bit too much, Duke didn't notice the Weavile creeping up on him. It used Faint Attack to appear right behind him and it jumped onto Duke's shoulder and placed a claw it his neck.

"Sorry, but this is where your life ends." The Weavile said with a sinister voice and blew a bit of cold air onto Duke's neck.

Swoosh! Boom! The Weavile had been knocked off of Duke's back. It was Quincy, but before he could even say a word he was already charging at the Weavile once more.

He lowered his right shoulder and let it drag somewhat as his speed increased greatly. Then right in front of the helpless morph he brought his lowered arm up into a powerful uppercut, lifting off his legs high into the air. Then at the peak of the jump Quincy put his hands together in front of him and smashed down on the Weavile's head.

They both fell at a rapid speed and Quincy prepared himself for a mid-air attack on the way down. His leg became engulfed in fire as he did a front flip to get more speed going down and then stuck his leg out in front of him, forcing a kick into the Weavile's stomach as it fell. They crashed through the branches and then slammed into the ground. A few leaves caught on fire and wisped down, carefully floating to the ground.

Duke then sat on top of the Weavile and began to punch it hysterically. "Quincy!" The stabbing words of Duke ceased Quincy's actions. He got up and smiled a bit, wiping off his pants.

"Sorry. I got a bit carried away."

Then the Quilava and Flygon began to charge towards the two after seeing there comrade almost be obliterated.

The Flygon morph fired a Hyper Beam at Duke while the Quilava became encircled by flames. As the attack from the Flygon slowly vanished the Quilava used Quick Attack in front of the Flygon and charged towards Duke, who had dodged earlier. The Flygon followed behind the other morph. They were executing some type of plan.

The Flygon lowered to the tail of the Quilava and fire began to spread to the dragon, not hurting it because of the type advantage. It soon became engulfed in flames as well and the two became a duo of spiraling fire.

"What type of pathetic attack are they trying to do?" Quincy said, putting his hands behind his head.

"Hehe. That's what I was thinking....But we still should be careful." Duke lowered his stance, preparing to dodge and counter attack as quickly as possible. Quincy followed his actions.

Essence followed Earl through the thick night fog. They easily blended in with the shadows and was able to sneak up onto a group of Royals preparing for their entrance.

<Alright, let's use Psychic on the ones in the front, that should cause the ones behind them to run forward to check what happened.> Essence explained the plan to Earl in mind speak and he nodded, focusing his hand towards the gun of one of the front Royals. He flicked it out of the unaware enemy and then used it to fire at the other Royals.

As the behind troops moved forward to check their comrades' status, Essence used Psychic on a nearby tree and swung it at the group, knocking them into various directions.

"Alright, let's go." Earl got up and moved forward. They decided to circle around the main fighting and take out any waiting troops.

--------------------

Zeke decided to take out any troops that he seen on the perimeter. He began to fire various Hyper Beams in the directions of the waiting troops but stopped when he noticed two figures running around.

"Earl! Essence!" His enhanced dragon vision allowed him to see things others couldn't.

He dived down and with Extreme Speed he went down like a meteor. Using already gained knowledge on how and when to stop, Zeke came to a halt right in front of the two traveling companions.

"Where do you think your going." Zeke's deep roaring voice shook the leaves on the trees around them.

"Wow, can you be any louder? We are trying to take down all of the waiting troops around the perimeter." Earl explained.

<Stealthily!> Essence added, tapping into Zeke's mind. "Don't do that again!" Zeke said as he moved his hands up to hold his head. Once again his roar for a voice shook the trees.

"I can take them out easily. Just one Hyper Beam and their dead." Zeke explained. Earl knew that and was going to ask the large Rayquaza for help anyways.

"You need to carry us. Fly through the trees and take out any and every Royal you see. Essence and I will use our Psychic attacks on any Royals you may have forgotten. We need to head out now before more Royals come!"

Before Zeke could reply Earl jumped onto the morph's back, followed by Essence who teleported aboard.

"Whatever." Zeke said as he slightly lifted off the ground.

He charged through the trees, using his "enhanced vision" to locate obstacles and Royals. "Hehe. There's one." Zeke said as he charged towards the victim. He put out his claw and snatched up the Royal. "Hi." He said before biting it's head off.

"Eww. How can you do that?" Earl said, holding his stomach in disgust. <Focus.> Essence said. Zeke didn't hear him anyways, the roar of the wind passing by them was too loud.

They approached more and more Royals, a lot at first and then the numbers began to decrease.

"Alright, we're almost done here. Get ready to pick up the others." Zeke roared over the winds as he flew up into the air to scan the forest.

"Alright, the only ones left are those that were fighting the rest of the group. Let's go."
