(to be edited later)

----------------------​

Konan smiled as she walked with Lance and looking at the sea. The stars glittering down on the two, it felt so serene to Konan as if she had been here before.

"So what has caused Lady Konan to become so sad?" Lane asked, Konan looked at him startled and blushed minorly.

"Well..I just I need advice." Konan mumbled, looking at the brown tinted sand. Lance looked at her nd then turned to the ocean. "You see I found out that one of my friends has,well another him, that did something a really long time ago." Konan mumbled.

"Yes the alter ego of anthromorph." Lance said.

"Well, uhm..Apparently my alter ego and his alter ego know each other and now..Well..His alter ego killed my alter ego a very long time ago, now MY alter ego thinks history is going to repeat itself and my friend is going to kill me." Konan mumbled, Lance nodded and then began to think.

"Well, I've never seen that predicament before. I'm not sure but, don't go by what your alter ego says, follow your own path. Don't believe what everyone says-" Lance was about to continue when a loud definete 'boom' and the smell of smoke filled the air.

"The volcano it's erupting!" Konan yelled looknig at the direction of volcano, and began to panic in a humorous manner. "Oh no, were all gonna die, Oh no , Oh no!" Konan yelld over and over till lance finally grabbed her cat tail and Konan yelped and started crying.

"First off we aren't gonna die, Cinnabars island volano erupts quite frequently.So theres no need to wor-" Lance stopped once more when he felt the evilness in the air. "No..your right there is cause to worry..the lava spirit is angry.." Lance mumbled.

"Lava Spirit?" Konans ears twitched in curiosity.

"The lava spirit, or the devils spirit is the guardian of the volcano and controsl the severity of eruptions, basically we are very screwed if the lava spirit si pissed and with this ominious wind..If we don't do something..we are screwed." Lance mumbled. Konan looked at Lance worridly as he looked at her and shook his head. "I'll handle it, you just go get some sleep." Lance murmured and then continued to say. "If I don't come back by tommorow then you know where to look for me." As suddenly as he had said that two astonishing Charizard wings emerged from his back (as well as a flaming tail) and he flew off torwards the volcano.

"Lance.." Konan mumbled, as she walked back to the pokemon center, goingto her room and falling asleep as soon as she had laid her head down on the soft pillow.

Die another day; dumb; harsh atmosphere

~Wake up, Atton. Wake up.~

Another day. New sunlight, new adventure, new chances to die. Day of the new anthropomorph adventure, where Atton had learned more about himself and the creature within him than he had in all of the years of his life. Stressing. Not even a couple of years less than a score of isolation and meditation were allowing him to overcome all of the mental hurdles he had been put through by the predicament-full bestial inside him. ~What's the hurry?~ Atton asked Gado as he yawned. He tried to stretch at the same time, but the small size of the bed he found himself in made his fists clash abruptly with the wall as he did. He rubbed his eyes, then let out a deep breath on his hands to warm them and rubbed them together. ~Today's a special day.~ The bestial said, sounding complete energized and not at all giving the impression that he had just woken up. His voice also sounded relatively happy, easily fooling anyone into believing he had been joyful for a long while, when actually last night had been so incredibly sad, depressing, dramatic, and confusing. ~And why is that?~ Atton inquired as he stood up, now being able to stretch freely. ~Ah, I just know it. And hurry up. While your lazy butt rested, I noticed some unusual activity coming from the Great Volcano. ~ Gado responded anxiously. Apparently and regarding his first comment, though; Gado was very bad at guesses. Intuition was better off left to Atton, who just realized a phrase he said yesterday. That it would be a strange day, where bad things would occur. Hah, blimey; who would've guessed? So many things happened.

Deciding to live up for today, though; Atton walked over to the small bathroom inside the room and took a shower, letting the warm water wash away dubious amounts of mud and dirt of his body. When he was done, he covered himself in an expensive looking bathrobe and washed his clothes on the sink. Because there was, understandably, no detergent in the room; he used a small mixture of hand soap, shampoos, conditioners, and body wash to create a special soap that left his cloths looking and smelling like new. ~Ah,~ Atton said smiling as he put his cloths back on and inhaled deeply, ~I smell like fresh flowers.~ Laughing, Atton walked out to the small cafeteria inside the Pokémon Center, where the free food was served. There, as he grabbed a plate for himself and sat down to it, reality bit. Was he really going into the Fire Mountain? Yes, it had been a rather nice morning, but now he realized that he was risking his life again. All in the pursuit of a dream not proven real yet. Yeah, some Spiderus spoke to them, and Iris got a Legendary out of nowhere, but still. Atton sighed sadly as he gave the first bite to his food and Gado spoke.

~You're not giving up now, eh?~ Gado said, his excited mood soon being declined.

~I thought you didn't want me to get involved.~ Atton said, nearly puking because of the bad taste of the food. He had yet to come to one Pokémon Center where the food served didn't taste like Octillery poo.
~But you can't quit now…~ Gado said, growing a voice of anger towards the Leo and growling.

~Huh, why?~ Atton asked as he scratched his head and continued to dig into the food.

~… You're really dumb, aren't you?~ Gado asked in an increasingly bored tone.

~Meep.~

A moment of silence grew as Atton continued to eat, alone. He was almost done with the food and drink when he heard some footsteps. Atton looked back to the entrance of the cafeteria and saw Iris walking in, all preened and in a neat attire. ~Where does she get all that clothes from? She's not even carrying a backpack or something.~ Atton thought to himself randomly as he stared at the girl, who quickly got food for her as well and sat on the same table, directly across him.

"Hi, Atton!" She exclaimed loudly and with a giant grin on her face as she sat down.

"Uh, hey, Iris; good morning." Atton thought as he finished his food, throwing the plates away into a thrash can. "Ready to leave for Fire Mountain?"

"No way!" Iris yelped, suddenly feeling bummed out. Her face shifted to one of horror and disgust as well, being surprising the fact that she didn't completely spit out her food. Also, she moved her head from side to side, clearly stating 'No' over and over.

"Wha–… Why? We need your help. If it's anything like the Mother Tree, it won't be easy. I mean, if it wasn't for your strange healing powers, the venom of Gohma would've killed me. Why aren't you coming?" Atton asked, pretty shocked because of Iris' response. It was one of those questions where only one answer was expected, so the fact that Iris declined scared Atton. It was true, that they needed to travel in groups to be safer. Atton hadn't heard of Konan since last night, on his 'nightmare', and Andrew was nowhere to be seen.

"'Cause, I can't! I'd melt if I even got close! I'll wait for you guys outside the volcano. But I got to do some things first.And I–... Hey, you smell nice."

 "Thanks"

"Anyway, I think I saw Konan outside. You should go." Iris said as she continued to eat. Her food, even though it virtually was the same as Atton's, looked a lot more delightful. Perhaps the Leo only had a bad taste for picking plates. There, Atton remembered the heat issues. When Konan and him hid in the sauna. Of course. A Volcano was much hotter than the sauna. Knowing that there where more chances of dying know, Atton took a deep breath and stood up, waving what could possibly be his last bye to Iris and then walking out of the Pokémon Center, where he found Konan. Outside, the weather was unease around the volcano, and ashes lied on the ground. A fair amount of persons were on Cinnabar, cleaning up the mess from yesterday's party.

"Hey, Konan, good morning!" Atton said as he walked out, grabbing Veil's Pokeball and letting her out beforehand. "Ah, uh… We're headed to the Volcano, no?" He asked with a smile on his face as he felt tension between the two. One was being released by the two bestials within the anthropomorphs, and another air of doubt coming out from Konan. With a thoughtful gesture on his face, he got on top of Veil and invited Konan to do the same; the Ponyta being strong, large, and rested enough like to carry both of them. After all, she couldn't get tired, the heat and fire from the volcano invigorated her. Plus, it was a rather long and tiring trip up the mountain if approached by foot. "Hey, you know; I had this really strange dream, or nightmare, involving you last night. It felt so real." He said, blatantly letting her know what he went through last now. Veil neighed, excited that they were going to a place of fire, even if their lives were at stake. ~

((Woo, 300th post for me))

Chapter 21: Eruption Begins! Begin the Journey in to the Depth of the Volcano!

(Andrew)

Andrew woke up, on a pile of leaves. "Well, I guess I crashed after all." Andrew sighed as he got up. "I wonder if today is going to be a good day for once." Andrew looked to the volcano that had a lot of smoke from it. "I guess not, I wonder if someone has something against me?"

(Elsewhere)

A kid laughs as he types this message, listening to bad music and realizing what a bad pun this is. "Eh, I don't really have any ideas." Said the kid as he started typing in another scene change.

(Andrew)

"Well, I guess I have no choice... wait a minute... I can fly. All I have to do is fly out of here, this isn't my problem anyway." Said Andrew, but as he was about to take off, he started feeling guilty. "Eh, maybe I should do something... after all, my only friend lives here." And with that, Andrew took off towards the volcano.

(Marcus)

Marcus slowly got up, still injured from the explosion. "Uurgh... my head, it feels like I was just beaten over the back of my head." Marcus looked around, seeing a giant opening in the ceiling. "Hmm... I wonder what's happening." Marcus then climbed up the wall and saw Andrew flying towards an erupting volcano.

"Hmm... I wonder why he's going there... heh, maybe that is where one of the weapons I heard those Enel idiots talking about." Said Marcus as he climbed out of the hole. "Maybe I can find one and take it for myself." M the hunter then giggled as he ran towards the volcano.

(Samuel)

Samuel cursed as he saw Marcus leaving the hole. "Now I have to go... *Bleep* I don't want to go into a *bleep*ing volcano. Wait... this means I can kill the heroes... heheheheheh... Now, I want to go." Samuel walked in to a random helicopter that was about to take off, pushed out the original pilot, and started flying it to Cinnabar Island. "Why do we have to be based in Cerulean City? It's too far from the islands..."

(Andrew)

Andrew smirked as he meared an entrance to the fire temple. "Well, those kids aren't here yet... Well, it's about time for me to go in." Said Andrew before beginning to walk in. Two steps later, he jumped forward to avoid a flamethrower trap.

"This is going to be worse then the Mother Tree, at least there I knew the way!" Yelled Andrew as he began walking through.

(Marcus)

Marcus snickered as he followed Andrew, the bird-man not seeing the lizard-man who looked more like a man then a lizard. "Heh, if I stay behind him... I will be able to avoid the traps... hahahah!" Laughed Marcus as he went into the cavern, and avoided the first trap, before climbing on to the wall, then the ceiling to avoid notice.

(ooc: And that's it... Samuel will not be there until after the weapon is claimed, and everyone is back in Cinnabar.)
 
Delving into Devils Mountain

Konan had slept very peacefully, but found herself to the fact that she had woken up early, the sun not even up yet, so not being able to get back to sleep she got up and walked outside at the erupting volcano. None of the people on Cinnabar seemed to frustrated about the eruption of course then Lance's words echoed to her

"The lava spirit, or the devils spirit is the guardian of the volcano and controsl the severity of eruptions, basically we are very screwed if the lava spirit is pissed and with this ominious wind..If we don't do something..we are screwed."

"Lance I hope your okay.." Konan mumbled as her cat ears went down into a submissive state. It seemed to be only minutes, because after exiting her trance she noticed the sun coming up, and several pidgeys 'tweeting' and the morning sun. Konan looked around as everything seemed to glorify a new day, but to this Konan only gave a sigh.Lance hadn't come back so that means she would have to go into the mountain herself and look for him, but as she was about to set off a friendly, familiar voice greated her. A voice not so sweet to her ears..

"Hey, Konan, good morning!" Atton called out to he and releasing Veil from her pokeball.

"O-Oh good morning.." Konan mumbled, the tension between the two was unimaginable, if it were possible the tension between the two would ause hell to freeze over.

"Ah, uh… We're headed to the Volcano, no?" Atton told her a friendly smile on his face, but it was no use he as well could feel the tension between the two, not just the awkwardness between Konan and Atton, but the fury Lunar Rosa had torwards Gado. Only Atton knew what Gado was feeling, but it was obvious there was some tension between the two forms, which didn't make things any easier for Konan or Atton.

"Hey, you know; I had this really strange dream, or nightmare, involving you last night. It felt so real." Atton told her as the two began to walk torwards the mountain, everything was filled with tension.

"I-I see.." Konan could help but faulter in her words, to be frank she still felt scared to be with Atton, not only because Lunar Rosa would tear her beating heart out ALIVE, but what she had said about the 'he will kill you' she couldn't stop thinking of those terrible words. "I can't wait to get off this island, my head starts to spin every step I take.." Konan mumbled, as she released a strly which flew out and planted itself firmly on Konans shoulder, glaring at Atton angerly as if to say 'stay away!'

"What did I say?" Lunar Rosa hissed at her while they walked slowly up the mountain.

"It's not my fa-" Konans response was interupted as she saw Andrew flying into the volcano, and from the corner of her cat eyes she could see the hunter running into the volcano as well. "It looks like we have some company..Andrews already inside, but I bet some other people are figuring out the weapons as well." Konans voice had grown stern as she grabbed Attons hand and started running of the volcano with him, soon they were at the very peek of the volcano, and lava was spewing down below. "Well it looks like we have no choice..We have to jump in." Konan said as she let go off Attons hand. :Lets go, the weapons gotta be here!" And with that she lept into the firey depths and onto a platform.

"Damn it , why don't you listen to me? I'm taking over." Luanr Rosa hissed and soon Konan felt Lunar Rosa's power beginning to take over her body, her hair turned silver , and her eyes turned blood red, along with that her cat ears ad tail turned white and she had a smirk as some fire skulls lept out of the lava depths too attack. "Heh, it's been a long while since I've had a good fight. Lunar Rosa had a devious smile on her face and ran at the three inpending skulls, touching them with her hand they froze solid and with that she smashed them and they crystalized into thousaneds of pieces.

"The neko's element is ice, and ice is quite useful here." Lunar Rosa scoffed as she began walking down into the volcano and only to step on a flamethrower trap, but looking at that before the fire could toch her, she held out her hand and the flames froze. Smirking she looked up at where Atton was still standing and then shouted to him. "Are you coming or what you stupid, filthy Leo?"
 
Burn, baby, burn!

"I-I see.."

As the two walked on, the friction between the feline anthropomorphs grew bigger and bigger; matter that made Atton feel pretty uneasy about himself. His smile and relatively warm aura were trying his best to sooth things, but it resulted very difficult. Konan's nerves and Lunar Rosa's hostility were completely frightening the Leo, who could only continue walking. The ugly thing for Atton was that he knew there was nothing to be scared about; he couldn't transmit it… Most obviously he wasn't going to hurt Konan, let alone kill her; but how could he argue with a millenarian being? And Gado had loads and loads to express, but would he have time to do so before his throat was slit by the aforementioned bestial? It was tough, and pressure, worry, and anxiety filled the air. Atton let out a sigh as Gado spoke.

~The girl's nervous. I can sense it. Listen, Atton. Her heart. It beats with power of a 700 horsepower engine. She's scared about something. Very scared.~

Gado spoke very seriously, being obvious the fact that he wasn't on some tantrum or joking mood. Gado borrowed his acute hearing sense to Atton's ears, this quickly catching every sound around. Everything from the chirp of birds far away and the waves on the beach could be heard with ease. Most importantly, though; he heard Konan's heartbeat; like a coldblooded hunter that searches for it's prey by heat and heartbeats. Coming back to normal, Atton inquired, ~ Why? Why should she be scared?~

~There's a lot of tension in the air.~ Gado responded as they approached the summit. ~That would sure make anyone's head blow off. Put some thought into it, man. Put some thought into your nightmare.~ Gado said as he connected himself to Atton's mind and quickly brought a flashback of the memory, where Konan asked if Atton would kill her. ~That?!~ Atton asked stupidified as the flashback was shaken out of his head. ~C'mon, but why would Konan think that? I mean, yeah; why? I mean, I think, by what we've gone through, it's rather blatant of a fact that I won't kill her.~

~History repeats itself every once in a while, Atton. Think about that.~

~I get it. Lunar Rosa has to understand that I won't hurt Konan, though. And it'll be your job to explain that to her.~ Atton said confidently as he stared at Konan, who was leading the way by a few feet away from Atton and Veil.

~Woah, hold on pal. MY job? I don't have your back here. You arrange yourself with Konan, get her to see clear. I won't mess it there. Got too much s*lolwut* on my back already.~

~Fine.~

As they built their path up, Atton could see Konan staring down lost, as if talking to herself, or a being inside of her. Atton took a deep breath, feeling courageous enough like to get things straight; and he quickened his pace a bit to get closer to Konan. He was about to tap her shoulder to catch her attention; but out of nowhere a Starly, her Starly, flopped out of a bush violently and perked itself on the Neko's shoulder in an erect position, staring at Atton with quite a furious look and chirping and flapping wildly. Atton, who was shocked because the bird came out nowhere, comedicaly put himself in a defensive, yet ridiculous Kung Fu stance, like if the little bird actually posed a thread to him. Atton laughed, trying to lighten the mood a bit; but seemed just as tense. The valour he gathered was lost in the moment. Curse Tweety. With a sigh, Atton noticed from the corner of his eye some strange silhouette running up at a dashing speed, following a flying creature. Andrew and the hunter were too making its way to the Volcano, it seemed. As he stared up at the sky, Konan spoke. "It looks like we have some company...Andrews already inside, but I bet some other people are figuring out the weapons as well."

The Neko then took the Leo's hand and pulled him upwards, closer to the top of the Volcano. Every step they took meant the temperature of the air around then increased this soon hitting Atton and causing him to sweat slowly. ~Damn, it's so hot in here. This is going to be exhausting.~ He thought to himself. Fighting critters was tired by itself; now, fighting fire critters inside a volcano was going to make him pant like a dog. They were soon at the very peak, where the temperature was so hot that Atton's sweat drops evaporated minutes after they came out of his pores. "Well it looks like we have no choice...We have to jump in." Konan said as she bravely leapt into the Volcano without looking back. "Lets go, the weapon's gotta be here!"

Almost immediately as she jumped in, the Neko's hair shifted color, and so did her ears, tail and eyes. Obviously, Lunar Rosa had taken over; quite quickly. She murmured something to herself before freezing three monsters to dead and then freezing a flamethrower trap.

~Wow! Cool!~ Atton said to himself as he jumped up and down excitedly, still on the peak of the volcano. ~What can you do, Gado?~

~My incredible premonition, visions of the futures and life sapping powers aren't enough?~ Gado asked, almost feeling insulted because of the comment remarked by Atton.

~No, but I mean, something like that. No?~ Atton asked like a small child, but then snapped back to his senses. Lunar Rosa looked up at them and yelled, "Are you coming or what you stupid, filthy Leo?"

~Oh, that's my wake up call.~ Gado said as he smirked and began to take over Atton; who, surprisingly, forced the power of the bestial back, not allowing him to control his body just yet. ~What?! Let me in, fool!~ Gado yelled angry as his moves inside turned more violent with each second.

~No, Gado, not yet!~ Atton yelped. ~You got to handle some serious business here. If you want to calmly talk to Lunar Rosa, don't come out here. She'll easily spot you, and attack. Do you think it's safe to talk here, on the Volcano dungeon? No, wait for another moment. I know you want to come clean, but it's not the time.~

Silence flooded the two beings for a moment before Gado finally spoke. ~Atton… Thank you.~

Atton smiled, taking a deep breath, and then launching himself inside the volcano, landing abruptly. "Yeah, I like you too." Atton said sarcastically as he stared at Lunar Rosa, who had called him stupid and filthy for no apparent reason. Atton smirked before turning away and starting to walk through the dungeon, confident that Lunar Rosa would follow. This was the opposite of the Mother Tree. Instead of having to reach a top floor, they had to go down; the main arena being found on the base of the volcano. Many traps were inside, as well as many monsters and lava covered walls. He looked around to spot Andrew or the hunter, but due to the immense circumference of the volcano, it was impossible to find. Atton continued to walk confidently, but suddenly a group of dozens of Keese flew around him; a large number heading towards him and another larger group towards Lunar Rosa.

"Ha, I've beaten your likes before. Surrender, creeps." Atton called already victorious, being sure that they would stand no challenge. He was surprised, though; when he saw that the Keese spontaneously ignited themselves on fire, enjoying the flames. "OH snap!" Atton yelped as the first animal flew towards him. With ease, he let out a wild punch and knocked him away, but in recoil, he could feel his fists suffer burns. He did so over and over, alternating between kicks and punches so that the heat wasn't focused on one part. Lunar Rosa could use ice and Andrew could use cutting air attacks; but he did have to involve physical contact. Which sucked.

"This is going to be tougher than the Mother Tree. A lot tougher…"
 
Chapter 22: Prelude to the Clash of Rivals! Marcus Returns With a Vengance!

Andrew sighed as he walked into another room, not knowing that Marcus was right above him. "This isn't too hard... it's really hot, but I think I can deal with that." Said Andrew before jumping over a different color patch of ground. Marcus smirked as he took note of the trap, but something then happened, his sweat caused him to start falling, making small rocks fall.

"No..." Whispered Marcus as he fell to the ground, alerting his rival to his presents. "D-damn..." Andrew jumped back and said.

"Marcus... I'm not surprised you would show up... why are you here?" Marcus snorted before replying.

"I want the fire axe... I want revenge for what those Enel punks did to me!" Andrew just stood there. "That was humiliating... I barely had enough willpower to rip off that mask... their technology can bring down any of your group, in any of your forms... in fact... the Beast's machine was a weak and forgotten model! They are building something a lot stronger!"

"Heh, why don't you go after them yourself?" Asked Andrew, sneering at his rival. "I mean, you are fairly powerful... you can do it. Without the fire axe."

"You have no clue... if they emerged before you fought Gohma... then you all would be dead, and they would have two of the weapons by now." Said Marcus as he slid into a fighting stance. "But that has nothing to do with what is happening now... I will claim the weapon... kill you, and that neko who embarassed me, then kill off Team Enel!"

"Well, you're not getting the weapon... Even with it, you wouldn't be strong enough to kill us both... or even Kalius by himself." Said Andrew as he readied to fight his rival. "I will not lose... not to you."

"Well... I suppose that is up for fate to decide..." Said Marcus before jumping up onto the wall. "Catch me if you can!" Marcus laughed as he grabbed a Keese, and tossed it up to Andrew. "Enjoy your present!" Marcus then started crawling downwards.

The Keese hit the ceiling and started screeching, calling it's brethren to arms. "Oh... crap..." Said Andrew as a bunch of Keese surrounded him, and what made it worse, is that they started igniting. "Wind Gust!" Andrew fired a gust of wind at the Keese, smashing some into the walls, but the whole fleet was not deterred.

"Only chance is to out fly them." Said Andrew before flying past them, fast. The Keese tried to fly after him, but the bird man kept blasting them with wind gusts until they were all gone. And with that, Andrew was deeper into the volcano...

"Well, well, well... it seems that you made it. I'm not too surprised, seeing as you usually get out of traps like that. Oh well... Keese are stupid anyway... And I could defeat all of them as well... but you will not win here." Said Marcus in one breath as he crawled up from the bottom of the platform. "In this place... I am god. My element of power is fire, like yours is wind. I can endure heat for quite a while longer then anyone who doesn't have a 'fire element' in their body!"

"Well, I know that's a lie, but assuming that it's true... then I won't lose so quickly... our fight will anger the beast in here, and call attention to my allies, who I know have entered. Face it, you will lose." Said Andrew before rushing in.
 
The battle between a neko and a dragon; Konans on her own! Part:1

Lunar Rosa continued to follow the path, the obvious hate between her at Atton was unimaginable, but suprisingly Konan was able to take control of her body once more and looked at Atton. "I'm sorry how Lunar Rosa treated you, she's just..A bit well mad at all Leos..And I guess her words kinda got to me." Konan said shyly at Atton. Her emotions were so jumbled up. Her emotions of worry, sadness, and happiness to be with a friend were unbearable she looked away from Atton, and felt the tears well up in her eyes. "History repeats itself sometimes, is what I was told from a elder. Gado and Lunar Rosa's meeting was no concidence..Maybe history will repeat itself, how I don't know..but it could repeat itself once more." Konan said to Atton and looknig up to the only visible starry sky from the volcano. "I was worried..About that., but then I figured out that..Well I was being selfish..I don't want history to repeat itself. This isn;t a school shojo manga..I can't change fate..So I guess..whatever happens. Happens for a reason, I can only hope that the same thing won;t happen once more.." Konans words were filled with a deep sadness. "So if you do kill me, then..Well.. I can't say much can I?" Konan whispered and walked up to Atton. "So promise me, if that happens you do it for a good cause, I don't wanan die a looser, if I do die.. I want to be a hero." Konans voice had some serious tone in it, but then she smiled her goofy smile.

"Wow, I feel happy now that I confessed that. Heh!" Konan laughed and continued onwards into the volcano. Looking back to see ifAtton would follow her. She puffed out her cheeks and looked at him. "Well don't stand there like a lump come on!" Konan yelled humorously and grabbed his hand, dragging him deepr into the volcano, and surprisingy she met up with Andrew and Marcus, they were glaring at each other. Konan sweatdropped a bit and looked at the situation. As the stare down continued a loud sadistic roar was heard, which made Konan yelp in terror and cling to Atton and hide behind him like a frightened child. "Gah what is that? It's scary!" Konan yelled like a child and closed her eyes as if something was about to come and drag her away. However this was not the case, the roar came from a menacing monster deep within the temple, well now it wasn't that deep for it had burst through a wall and was carrying a limp body. "Lance!" Konan yelped and saw that his body was lifeless.

"Gyaaaaaaah!" The dragon roared in anger, it had sharp claws, it had red scales amoungst it and a firey main. It wore a black mask with deep sadistic red eyes. Konan clung to Atton tighter then ever before.

"Wah it's scary Atton!, and Lance!" Konan was still glued to Atton and as the dragon dissappeared into the other room, Konan quickly let go and blushed embarrssedly. "Ah I'm sorry! I'm sorry I just got startled and.." Konans excuse was a bit on the farfetched sign but it could work. "But, we have to rescue Lance! He's my friend!" Konan yelped and ran after the dragon. Konan did expect Atton to follow her but she couldn't wait up, she had to go after the dragon herself. She continued to follow the quick paced dragon, and it finally stopped onto a platform that floated mysteriously above a pit of lava. Konan hopped onto the platform and the door locked shut, with iron steal bars on the door no one could get in..or out.

"Guess I'm in this alone! Bring it on you big snake!" Konan yelled, as the dragon let out a roar and began spitting fireballs, Konan dodged every one however one singed her hand slightly.

"Rosa how do I beat this thing?!" Konan yelled.

"I'll let you borrow some of my powers, freeze it's wings and then grab on of the stalagtites on the platform and stab it's wings, it will break onto it's weak point." Lunar Rosa yelled. Konans body began to glow a ice blue and before she knew it she was freezing the fireballs spat at her.

"Okay you'd better hope your right!" Konan told Rosa and ran at the dragon, touching one of it's wings freezing it entirely, which led the dragon to having a tough time flying. Kona quickly froze the other one and it landed on the platform it's head one the ground which revealed a glowing orb. Konan grabbed a stalagtite and stabbed it and the orb began to crack minorly.

"It wor-" Konan was about to congrtulate Lunar Rosa but then the dragon broke from its icey prison and whipped up a whirlwind at her nearly knocking her off the platform.. This was going to be a tough fiht, Konan had ltitle ability to fight, she had to try or Lance would be in some real trouble.

Chapter 23: The Clash of Rivals! Andrew Vs. Marcus Round 7(?): Part 1 (The Hunter's New Power)

Marcus smirked as he stepped back. "This reminds me of my first true hunt... about fifteen years ago. I had such a hard time killing them. Jeffrey, a human, and Melody, of the Falcon Tribe... you remind me of the falcon tribe woman... The resemblance is uncanny."

"So you were the one to start the slaughter... you killed our chieftess, which allowed the humans to slaughter my tribe." Said Andrew, starting to get madder and madder. "I should have killed you back in Pallet, but now... I will make you suffer for what you did."

"Heh, you don't stand a chance against me." Said Marcus before slamming his foot into Andrew's stomach, sending him into the wall. Marcus smirked before jumping to the wall, and slamming his knee into the bird man's gut. "You shall be killed as well!" Marcus grabbed Andrew and slammed him into the floor, hurting him pretty badly.

"G-guh? How'd you gain so much power?" Asked Andrew, but Marcus slammed his foot into his stomach, before kicking him towards the lava. "I-I have to stop this thing... Gust!" Andrew fired the gust of wind, but Marcus jumped to the side, avoiding it, before jumping next to Andrew, and hitting him into the wall.

"Heh, this is my true power... the power I used to kill anyone who gave me any trouble... I must say, I'm way more powerful then you, Melody, Konan, or anyone in this place!" Gloated Marcus. Andrew used the oppertunity to try and kick Marcus, the hunter easily grabbed it, and his arm before turning towards the wall. "This is the price of you defeating me so many times." Marcus started running, before letting go of Andrew's arm, and swinging him into the wall as hard as he could, before jumping back and doing it again, and again, and again.

Andrew slammed his foot into Marcus's arm, causing the hunter to drop him, to recover his momentum. "Grr... this guy is waaaay too strong... I can't feel my left arm." Andrew was interrupted from his thoughts as Marcus kicked him into the wall, which really hurt him. "I have to find a way to win, but how?"

"You can't win... you couldn't even hit me as of yet, and with you in the condition you're in, you would be lucky to escape here with your life." Said Marcus. Andrew tried to get up, but the hunter kicked him in his broken arm, hurting him badly.

"D-dam...damn you." Stuttered Andrew, but Marcus smirked before grabbing his wings. "Wh- what are you doing!?"

"Will your wings come off as easily as Melody's did!? Let's find out!" Yelled Marcus as he started pulling, but he didn't notice Andrew's pokeball opening. "Hahahah!"

"AAAHHH!" Yelled Andrew, as Marcus started pulling his wings even harder, when suddenly, Alex bit the hunter, causing him to let go,

"AAH! Get this stupid mutt off of me!" Yelled Marcus before pulling Alex off of his arm. "You both will pay for this!" Marcus tossed Alex towards the lava, but Andrew grabbed Alex's pokeball and returned the Electrike to it, just before he could hit the lava.

"Wind Blade!" Yelled Andrew before firing the attack, but Marcus easily dodged, before grabbing Andrew's shirt, and slamming him into the wall once again.

"Heh, you are nothing." Said Marcus before slamming his fist into Andrew's stomach. "You are destined to die!" He then slammed his elbow into Andrew's leg. "You are alone!" Marcus slammed his knee into Andrew's chin, causing him to bite his tounge, and spit out blood. "No one likes you, or even cares for you!" Marcus then slammed Andrew into the ground. "You will never find happiness, your quest is for naught."

"Y-you may b-be right." Said Andrew before spitting out more blood. "I-I may ne-never fi-find happine...ss, b-but I wi-will tr-try." Andrew weakly flapped his wings in an attempt to try and get away, but he had almost no strength left.

"Heh, just give it up... nothing can help you now..." Said Marcus, but Andrew started to think back to the events in Pallet Town.

"K-konan... A...atton... th-ose t-two helped m-me out wh-when you att...acked me, th-they helped me fi...ght Kalius, and G...ohma. I'm not al-alone." Stuttered Andrew before spitting out more blood.

"Heh, they too will die. Nothing can stop me now. I hold enough power to kill you, even in that weird alternate state of yours." Said Marcus before pulling out his sword. "You will die right here." Marcus then stabbed Andrew in his leg, causing it to bleed. "But not without some payback." With that, he sliced Andrew's right arm, causing some blood to drip down.

(Mindscape)

"You are pathetic... Andrew. It is my turn to fight, and to kill." Said Kalius as he forced Andrew's control from him.

(Andrew Vs. Marcus)

"And now you will die!" Yelled Marcus as he motioned to plunge the blade into Andrew's heart, but the weakened falcon member grabbed the blade. "What's this?" Suddenly, Andrew flapped his wings fairly hard and escaped. "Grr... you will pay for that, Andrew!"

"I'm not Andrew... I am the future lord of everything... I am... Kalius the Conquerer!" Yelled Kalius as he turned towards Marcus. "And this is your final act of defiance, Marcus!"
 
Meteokyer

The young Leo spun around on his axis frantically; hitting Keese one after another and not allowing none of those pesky creatures to attack him. Every single delivered blow, however, only burned Atton's fist deeper and deeper, soon privatizing him from deliver any more punches. Atton desperately looked down at the ground for something he could use as a tool, and quickly enough he found a sharpened stone which he started to use as a knife, rapidly rendering most of the bats useless and coming to a clear area. Deciding to proceed before any more arrived, Atton walked further. He had to stop and turn back, however, when he heard Konan's voice.

"I'm sorry how Lunar Rosa treated you, she's just...A bit well mad at all Leos...And I guess her words kinda got to me. History repeats itself sometimes, is what I was told from a elder. Gado and Lunar Rosa's meeting was no coincidence...Maybe history will repeat itself, how I don't know...But it could repeat itself once more." She said sadly. At this instant, Atton felt a ton of bricks hit his head; for what he feared, Konan being scared of him; was true. He was so tired of explaining to Gado and himself how he would make sure that the past wouldn't repeat it; not mattering if he had to take his won life away before doing so. Kinda like what happened to Gado, but, in another order. Atton had so many things to say. Too much, though, like to be expressed. So many things he wanted say, yet nothing came out. The only visible change in his body was that he now seemed incredibly sad, mood that seemed to match Konan's condition.

"I was worried...About that, but then I figured out that...Well I was being selfish...I don't want history to repeat itself. This isn't a school shojo manga...I can't change fate...So I guess...Whatever happens. Happens for a reason, I can only hope that the same thing won't happen once more...So if you do kill me, then...Well... I can't say much can I?"

~Konan.~ Atton thought to himself as he saw the Neko walk closer to him, the sudden shortening of the distance only augmenting the tension and pressure between them, therefore increasing the sorrow in both. ~I… Wait, what's a shojo manga? Well, whatever. Don't worry Konan. Gado and I'll keep this under control.~

"So promise me, if that happens you do it for a good cause, I don't wanna die a looser, if I do die... I want to be a hero."

That statement, though it had been finished by one of Konan's distinctive, chill smiles; made such a strong impact on Atton. It made him feel guilty for Gado, even though he had already heard reasons. She wasn't going to fight destiny, she would just take it a different way. That was so strong; or so Atton thought. The comment just got his desire of being with Konan and changing fate to increase. Atton, still quiet; just smiled. He smiled a smiled that expressed more than a gazillion and two words.

" Wow, I feel happy now that I confessed that. Heh. Well don't stand there like a lump come on!"

The Neko, apparently feeling very relaxed now, took the Leo's hand and started to lead him deeper into the Volcano. Atton hadn't managed to say one single thing yet, however. He still felt too drowned in feeling. If he tried to say something, he only stutter and blabber, so he decided to stay quiet. He'd have to express his emotions sooner or later, though; and he had a time planned for that. When they were out of the Volcano, obviously. Atton was looking around dumbfounded before he was brought back to his senses when Konan yelped and ran behind Atton, hugging him and seeking shelter.

"Gah what is that? It's scary!"

Atton didn't reply. Instead, he just focused on the oncoming thing. A big, red dragon-like animal flew out from the lava from below the volcano, Lance being grasped unconscious in one of his hands. Atton looked at the creature amazed, but his attention as drawn towards Konan once again; this time by her letting go of him suddenly and blushing. " Ah I'm sorry! I'm sorry I just got startled and.." Konan started as she tried to excuse herself. Atton didn't mind, though; instead, he worried more on her oncoming sentence. "But, we have to rescue Lance! He's my friend!"

Atton nodded, setting his sights on the dragon and starting a sprint after a running Konan; who was soon locked up in a flying platform with the dragon. ~No!~ Atton yelled to himself as he saw the dragon land in front of Konan. He used all of his strengths to try to break the iron bars, but it resulted futile. The bars where really thick and strong; and trying to brutely tear them apart would be stupid. Yet, the rush of energy Atton felt a rushh of energy running through his body blinded him. He felt almighty, and he was sure he could break them. Of course, anyway, it resulted impossible. No matter the amount of adrenaline in his body, it was just impossible. ~Gado!~ Atton started. ~Can you tear this down?~

~I really doubt it, Atton. C'mon, hurry, you have to find another way inside.~

~Right.~

Immediately, Atton began a reckless search for an alternate route to Konan's location. On his search, he couldn't help but to notice Marcus and Andrew fighting. Sadly, the latter seemed to have an advantage. All he could see was Marcus stabbing Andrew in the leg, then slashing his arm. Without faltering, Atton took a long leap down, landing in a small platform away from Marcus. He took a piece of rock and then threw it at Marcus. "Yo, creep!" He yelled out as the rock hit his head. If he made Andrew faint like that, when he had a very potent bestial within... Marcus should on rampage, then. Atton knew that if that rock made Marcus turn towards him, he'd have a great disadvantage. Gado hadn't possessed him yet, after all; and his fists were on fire, literally. He planned on fighting Marcus; but then he saw Andrew rising up. ~That's the bestial. You better run.~ Gado said as Kalius yelled at Marcus. Atton nodded to himself, jumping to another platform and making his way deeper into the Volcano.

He had to dodge a number of traps, and once he was near the bottom; he believed to have spotted a way towards Konan. It was a sort of tunnel; one with various spikes on the wall that could be used to climb up. It seemed to lead to yet another platform; and Atton knew that if managed to get there, using Gado's force he would be able to do a massive leap and land with Konan. Before he could venture inside what seemed to be a tunnel; though, a loud roar was heard. ~Oh crap.~ Atton thought as he looked back. Out of the lava, a gargantuan red dragon sprung out, splashing droplets of molten rock everywhere. The creature looked like a lizard, a very ugly lizard, with wings almost twice it size. Long claws and fangs, of course, were seen. Also, like if it wasn't strange enough; it was wearing armor. Head, chest, and join protection were seen on him, all of the metals shining in a blood red color because of the heat they had to be submitted to. ~Oh… f*lolwut*

A small amount of lava hit Atton's shirt, burning it. "Ah, C'mon!" Atton yelled loudly. "This was only day and half old. You're paying for that, creep."

The creature let out a loud roar, one so strong that it even pushed Atton back and caused him to land on his butt. Gado then spoke from within him like a robotic encyclopedia.

~That's a Red Meteokyer. Well, not a, but the red meteokyer. Legendary creature, actually. Yes, yes. Guardian of the volcano. When angry, the volcano erupts. Really powerful. He's probably the one that holds the fire weapon. Atton, you're dead.~

Gulping, Atton stared at the creature directly, waiting for it to make a first move.

~This… This is gonna hurt.~

Chapter 24: The Clash of Rivals Round 7: Part 2 (Kalius' Return!)

"Heh, do you really think that your alternate can beat me? Ha! Not on your life!" Yelled Marcus before trying to kick Kalius. The anthro's eyes opened wide as he barely dodged the attack, but instead, Marcus grabbed his wing and tossed Kalius into the wall before grabbing his staff and slamming it into Kalius' chest.

"That was annoying... you reeeeally need to work on how you attack someone." Said Kalius before blasting Marcus with a gust of hit air, and smog. "What can you do? I control the winds... you? You have to rely on weapons made by humans." Kalius started to walk towards Marcus. "If you have to rely on pre-made weapons, then you don't stand a chance."

"That's what you think!" Yelled Marcus as he appeared right behind Kalius. The anthro looked back, but was hit in the face hard by a staff. "Huh? What do you think about that!?" Marcus then kicked Kalius into the wall before running over and swinging the staff, knocking him into the air even farther.

Kalius stopped his ascent and fired a blast of gusts, but Marcus dodged it before jumping up to where he was. "What? How is that possible!?" Yelled Kalius before being hit to the ground by Marcus' staff. "Grrr... you are quickly becoming a pest." As soon as Marcus landed, Kalius jumped up and slammed his leg into Marcus' stomach, before slamming his elbow in his face, causing him to fall back into the wall.

"Heh, that wasn't too bad... now you understand why I kept coming after everyone, even after beating me to a pulp." Said Marcus as he reached into his pack. "But nothing beats a gun... not you, and not me." The hunter brought out his gun. "One shot was all it took to kill Melody, and that is all it will take to kill you." Marcus aimed the gun, but Kalius flew up before the hunter fired, and brought his leg down on his skull.

"Well, it seems you over-estimate yourself." Said Kalius as he picked up the fallen gun. "And if you think I'll let you use this thing, you have another thing coming." He then tossed the gun into the lava pit behing him.

"Well, it's a good thing your body is exhausted... because if you take one more hit, it looks like you will collapse." Said Marcus as he dashed towards the birdman, but Kalius fired a gust of wind, knocking him into the wall. "Heh, I will claim the weapon! Flash Bomb!" Yelled Marcus as he tossed a flash bomb, blinding Kalius, allowing him to run to where the fire weapon was.

"Oh, hell no! You are not getting the weapon!" Yelled Kalius as he flew after Marcus. Both of them had to dodge traps, and defeat monsters on the way, but eventually they made it to the room.

"Monster! Your weapon will be mine!" Yelled Marcus before being slammed into by Kalius, knocking both of them onto the platform. "With the weapon I shall be invincible!!!"

"Oh, you didn't." Said Kalius as he started to charge Marcus, but the hunter pulled out a handgun and shot Kalius in the leg, injuring him before kicking him in the side of his head, knocking him out.

"Heh, with you out of the way I can get the weapon.." Said Marcus before tossing Kalius a fair way into the exit tunnel, saving him from a melting death. "Now, for the rest of you..." Marcus turned towards Konan, Lance, and Atton.

(ooc: Yep, Kalius lost a fight against a non-bestial anthro. I hope that is okay.)
 
Konans on her own! Battling the meteokyer Part 2; Red meteokyers wrath!

ooc: Bout tiem someone posted here!

"Gah!" Konan yelled as she gribbed onto the ledge. "Damn you, stupid dragon..soldier..uhm..THING!" Konan had no idea what to call thing "thing" that was trying to knock her into a pool of lava. Lance still lay unconscious in a stray ledge, his body covered with burns. "Alright I've got to do this! For Lance! CHAAAARGEEE!" Konan got back on the platform, and charged at the dragon freezing one of it's wings knocking it to the ground. "This is going to completely freeze you!" Konan yelled placed her hand on the dragons head. A blue icey aurua engulfed her, the room began to chill, and the lava began to cool. And finally, the dragon that was once trying to kill her was frozen over like an icicle. She picked it's frozen body up with freeze and threw the meteokyer against the wall, cause it to shatter to pieces. "Take that, and they say I can't fight. heh, well I can!" Konan panted as she hopped over to the plat form lance was on, picked him up on her shoulder. "Gah your heavier then you look, ugh." Konan panted, her body was immensly weakened from the previous attack, she managed to jump back to the door that had trapped her in, and of course, the doro was unlocked.

"Damn dragon..soldier..THING!" Konan yelled, as she placed the unconscious Lance door step, and chilled him so no meteokyers would get him, they seemed to dislike cold. "This should keep you safe till I get back." Konan yelled, as she ran deeper into the temple, soon hot coal were the walls, and they glowed steadily with magma that flowed down the walls. "Augh it's hot." Konan whispered as she continued deeper into the temple, until she arrived to find Atton gulping in terror.

"Cmon' let me fight it PLEASE? I used to do this sort of thing when I was a warrior~" Lunar Rosa pleaded like a small child.

"Fine.." Konan grumbled.

Konans hair slowly turned silver, her cat ears turned white, and her eyes blood red. Lunar Rosa had a smirk on her face. "Alright, I haven't had this much fun since I was sealed inside that fool. Bring it on you big lizard!" Lunar Rosa yelled as her hands glowed with a ice blue aurua.

"Gyaaaugh!" The red meteokyer yelled violent spreading it's around as a sign of domanince. Lunar Rosa only cocked her head to the side and ran full force at it, as it spit hot magma. She dodged every one of the balls of magma and tough the dragons tail, turning it to ice. The dragon yelped in pain and fell to the ground. :unar Rosa smirked. "Some guardian beast you ar-" Lunar Rosa was interupted when it raised it;s head to throw her up in a magma fall, severly burning Konan/Lunar Rosa's back.

"GAH!" Lunar Rosa yelped as she landed on the platform once more, a whole clearly singed in the back of Lunar Rosa's shirt. Luanr Rosa had dealt with much worse, but it had been a while since she fought, so she had forgotten how to deal with this kind of pain. "Damn it, don't just stand there you filthy Leo, do something. Transform into Gado, use an element! I don't give a damn, just do something!" Luanr Rosa yelled as she winced in pain.

ooc: Not long I know, but forgive me I just wantedf to keep the thread alive hah
 
Gado 911

Atton looked up as the thing knows as the Red Meteokyer angrily roared down at him; all of his might evident only in that roar. Magma rose from the ground and rock walls crumbled with every single flap of its wings; and every single stone that hit the lava made a big splash; like if there weren't enough obstacles already. ~Have you ever killed one of this, Gado?~ Atton asked a bit nervous as he crouched and entered a defensive position; knowing that on a 1 vs . 1 fight, the young Leo probably was in disadvantage. A great one. ~Well, Atton;~ Gado began to say in a bored fashion, trying to give a wise expression of a man who knew it all, ~first off; this is one of a kind. This Meteokyer is bigger than anything I've seen before; this has to be another breed. A stronger, probably one of a kind.~

Atton closed his eyes and cocked his head to a side slightly, his grimace explaining a desperate and anxious manner. ~Look, Gado,~ Atton said with a deep and heavy sigh, ~it's not time to be messing around. Are you going to tell me or not? We don't have time for games! We gotta— Whoah!~

As Atton spoke to his bestial within, he had to take an agile skip to the left to avoid being stricken by a large, magma-engulfed boulder that was spit out of the meteokyer's mouth. Atton performed a side somersault, successfully dodging the main fireball. This object, however; cracked into dozens of smaller pieces as soon as they hit ground. Many of them bounced directly on Atton's skin and burned him severely, causing the boy to wince in pain as he shook his body to get free of the boulders that had gone inside his clothes.


"Ah, you little deformed son of Godzilla!" Atton yelped as the meteokyer flew down in an attempt to grab him with his claws. Atton stood immobile, shocked by the event of the meteokyer approaching. It all appeared to be immobile, or really slo-moed at least. The appendages of the dragon, all except for his wings and tail, remained completely motionless in an attempt to get the dragon to form the shape of a 'V' to cut air in an easier fashion. His loud screaming was ever present, as well. ~What to do…~ Atton thought in his slowed down world as the vicious, infuriated creature approached. ~I guess I could jump over him. He's flying really low and his speed will make him go below me before I notice…~

~Yes, and risk missing by an inch or getting hit by the waving tail. Smart, Atton, smart.~ Gado said as he very slowly entered the process to take over Atton's body; knowing for best that if Gado handled the situation, there were more chances of survival. Atton, however, didn't allow this to happen, and quickly sensing Gado's presence stronger in him, he held the beast back.

~Ok, I could, then… Crouch?~ Atton said calmly as he took his hand to his head. Before he could scratch it, Gado perceived what Atton was doing, so he made his claws grow to make Atton hurt himself. Then male flashed a squint of eyes to prevent himself from squeaking in pain, but he didn't complain because he knew that if had Gado's lion claws out, there were more chances of hurting the Meteokyer. Not only was it armored at some points, but anyone could tell only from watching that the Meteokyer's skin was probably a million of thick, rock-hard scales.

~Are you dumb or something?~ Gado yelled as he took control of one of Atton's arm momentarily and forced him to slap himself on the face. ~He's flying too low. You won't be able to crouch past him. He's not stupid. He'd probably slash you with one of his claws as he soars above you.~

~Dammit, Gado,~ Damien said angry as he looked down to the ground. ~do you have a better ide—~

~He's coming.~

~What?~

~He's coming!~

~Wha—? OH!~

Atton turned out to be too concentrated on Gado's intervention like to take the time to look up and notice that the Meteokyer was already near. His whole time-stopping time lapse immediately shattered like a weak glass when he was pulled out of his thoughts and the Meteokyer grabbed him by the waist. With Atton now on his grasp, the animal continued to fly on low grounds to make Atton hit himself on low grounds and tall boulders. "Gah!" Atton yelled over and over as he pulled both of his arms out of the claw wrapping and jabbed the approaching rocks. This task proved to be very arduous, though, for not only was breaking and pushing rocks away with his hand difficult enough, but doing it while being suspended in the air, upside-down and moving at immense speeds was completely ridiculous. More than once Atton felt all of his blood go to his head, and he sure was on the brink of vomiting all of this while. His pain was soothed when the Meteokyer began to fly in a vertical motion; heading up.

Atton could feel his skin being pulled back, nearly ripped out from his face because of the speed the Meteokyer rose at. Atton was on the verge of slipping away of his claws, too; but now he held himself from the tiny hand to prevent him from falling down. It would be quite a fall if the Meteokyer dropped him. All of a sudden, the Meteokyer stopped, looked down at Atton and roared yet again, his sticky and thick saliva spreading all over Atton's face.

"Ah, Dude!" Atton yelled angry as he took his arm to his face and wiped himself clean, the fluids feeling like some sort of dense, gel-like slime. "Your breath stinks!" Atton teased angry as he looked at the beast, wondering what he would do with him. Everything signaled Atton's death now, for the Meteokyer could just apply pressure on his hand to completely shatter Atton down. The dragon had other plans for Atton, though.

Seemingly smiling, the Meteokyer took his hand closer to his mouth and opened wide; obviously thinking Atton would make a good snack. "My God!" Atton yelled as he wildly struggled to release himself from his grip, knowing that there were more chances of him being alive by falling to the ground than being eaten. There was, however; no way of freeing himself. The Meteokyer enjoyed to see Atton suffer, or so it seemed, for he took Atton to his mouth in a very slow fashion, as if mocking him. Once he was inside, technically; before the dragon could close the mouth, Atton saw a rock stuck on the teeth of the creature. He stretched his arms, took the little rock, and then stretched out to see the Meteokyer's face. "Eat this!" Atton yelled enraged as he threw the rock on the Meteokyer's face. Such a small object would have probably not hurt the Meteokyer, but the strength applied to the throw made the dragon so uncomfortable that it had to drop Atton to cover his eye with his claws, screeching in disgust.

"Aah!" Atton yelled as he saw himself falling several hundreds of feet.

~That's what you get when you don't let me in, Atton.~ Gado said.

~Dude, shut up and embrace the fall…~Atton said as he took his hands to his face and expected the oncoming hit.

~Aw, man, please; like I'm letting your stupidities hurt me. Check this out!~ Gado yelled excited as he, yet again; used Atton's body as a puppet. This time, his whole thorax and legs were involved. Few meters before he hit the ground, Atton started to push his body to the front, bending it as he did, to start spinning like a professional diver. Then, right when he was about to hit ground, his body stretched and bent his knees, allowing a perfect, safe on fall on the platform. A huge, circular wave of dirt and dust spreading out from him as he landed. Such a cool effect.

~Gado!~ Atton yelled as he fell to the ground after some seconds of standing in the same position as he landed. Maybe Gado hadn't noticed, but when he landed, a loud 'crack' sound was produced from Atton's knees. ~That hurt!~



~Maybe it hurt you, but not me. Now get up before he reacts.~ Gado said with a smirk.

Atton gulped, then, for his own sake, obeyed Gado. The Meteokyer flew towards Atton again, quickly coming over his wounds. Atton just stared at him, not having time to react, but then; all of a sudden, Lunar Rosa leapt out of the blue to intercept the dragon; who shifted his attention to her and spat out more magma. She skillfully dodged all of the attacks; then froze the dragon's tail, making him fall and pretend to be fainted.

~See?~ Atton teased. ~She took him out in 10 seconds. I think you kinda suck.~

~Shut up, I would've turned him into a sweet steak if you let me take charge once in a while.~

Before he could think any further, though; Atton noticed the Meteokyer miraculously stand up again like if nothing had happened and spit out a rain of fire, causing sever pain to Lunar Rosa's back. The bestial fell to the ground, wincing in pain before yelling . "Damn it, don't just stand there you filthy Leo, do something. Transform into Gado, use an element! I don't give a damn, just do something!" angrily.

~D'you, like, really liked her, Gado? She sounds pretty mean to me.~

~Shut up before I rip your guts out. Now let me in.~

~Fine.~

Immediately, Gado's claws and fangs grew longer, his muscles buffed up and his hair grew to mane. Without a second to waste, Atton was Gado. The Meteokyer threw itself at full force towards Lunar Rosa, attempting to eat her whole. Gado, though, rushed towards the Meteokyer, and almost when he was inches away from biting Lunar Rosa, the bestial tackled him at full strength. One would've thought that Gado, who was a flea in comparison to the size of the beast, wouldn't even tickle him, but the truth was the Meteokyer was sent flying away. As he pushed him away, Gado pushed his feet back, cementing them to the ground with a lot of power, throwing his thorax to the front and pushing his arms back; accomodating himself in a stretch position so that more air entered his lungs. Then he roared so loud it echoed eleventyseven times inside the volcano, obvious anger in his roar. As the beast slammed itself into one of the walls of the volcano, Gado looked down at Lunar Rosa, rhetorically scowling at her and then taking her hand to help her up. Afterwards, he turned to the Meteokyer and prepared to attack again.

~You just kinda saved her. Yet I'm still sure she'll want to kill you just like before.~

~It's deeper than what your mind can understand.~

"Now," Gado said staring at the Meteokyer, "bring it on Croc!"

The Meteokyer rushed over to Gado again, and he just covered the blows delivered, slashing when he had the chance. He knew Lunar Rosa's Ice attacks would result more effective; and so would Andrew's attacks, if he ever showed up to help. Meanwhile, he was just acting as decoy, hoping Konan'd get an idea soon.

Chapter 25: The New Form! Enter Propero Andrew!

(Mindscape)

Andrew stared at Kalius, who was unconscious with a somewhat-bad bullet wound in his leg. "Well, it seems you aren't as 'all powerful' as you said." Said Andrew as he went to regain control, but before he could, Kalius grabbed Andrew's leg.

"Heh, you don't stand a chance... your body will die instantly if you take control... and I don't want to die." Said Kalius, but Andrew kicked away Kalius' lag and disappeared, signalling that he was going to take control.

(Volcano)

Andrew sat up, obviously in pain as the wounds he got, and the wounds Kalius got piled on top of each other. "I-I have to save them..." And with that, Andrew grabbed the wall, burning himself while climbing up. "Grr... I have to help." Said Andrew as he started to walk towards the platform. But he didn't see the edge and started falling. "N-no... I have to live..."

(Mindscape)

Kalius snorted, he was about to die. "I am about to die... by sinking into lava... and there's nothing I can do..." Said Kalius, but suddenly, the whole place started glowing. "Eh? Can it be? A transformation like the other two? But we carry no Aetherion."

(Outside)

Andrew sighed as he was fifteen feet from his death. "I'm about to die... what a time for my wings to be broken..." Said Andrew before his descent halted. "Huh? What's going on?" Suddenly Andrew's wings shrunk to become a six foot wingspan, instead of his previous which was about nine feet, his pupils became slits, and his hair receded until the point in which he had two inches of hair on the top and back of his head, but other then those three differences, he was mainly the same... but all of his wounds disappeared.

"Is this another chance?" Asked Andrew to himself before he noticed that his descent has stopped. "It must be... another form. Well, Marcus, this will be where you lose!" And with that, the bird morph zipped up to where Marcus was, standing there, waiting for the fight to finish.

"Well, you've returned for round three... let's go." Said Marcus neglecting to look over to him. Andrew smirked as he vanished. Marcus looked over and saw nothing, but in a second, he was punched in the stomach. "What's this? Where are you hiding? You can't be invisible! Falcons do not have that ability!"

"Well, I'm not!" Yelled Andrew who was standing right behind him. Marcus went to punch him, but there was no one there. "Wow, you're really slow. You should really work on that." Marcus looked behind him and there was Andrew. "Hi."

"What? But you were right here!" Yelled Marcus in disbelief. Andrew rolled his eyes before firing a blast of wind, but it didn't do much to Marcus. "Wait a minute... you got faster, but you can't do as much damage, both with wind and physical!" Marcus went to punch Andrew, but he vanished, before appearing on another platform.

"This form is starting to wear me down already... I have to finish him right here, right now." Said Andrew as he stared moving. "Razor Wind!" And with that, Andrew fired off a chaotic assortment of winds at Macus, who was able to dodge it.

"You'll have to do better then th-" Said Marcus who was then interrupted by a punch from Andrew. "Wh- how were you able to travel such a distance in but a second?" Andrew didn't stop to answer his question as he started flying towards the walls, with Marcus in front of him. "NO!" And with that, Marcus was smashed through the wall, ending the battle.

"Grr... I-I'll be back!" Yelled Marcus as he got out of the hole, before climbing down in retreat.

"Well, I'm glad that's over... I can't fight any more, but I can at least avoid strikes." Said Andrew as he landed on the ground.

(ooc: Yep, he won... but can't help fight the meteokyer(sp?).)
 
Lunar Rosa looked at Gado and smirked. "I guess you still know how to fight. Impressive. Lunar Rosa managed to stand up, and look at the meteokyer. If this is the lava guardian, then there has to be some reason to why it's gone berserk! It wouldn't just get furious for no reason, gods don't do that, it's either being possesed or being ang- Ah how could I have missed it!" Lunar Rose yelled and pointed to the armor on it's forehead. There was a dark glowing gem on the red meteokyers forehead, it glowed with a dark aurua. "I'm guessing that is the weak point!" Lnar Rosa yelled, she had always been good at finding weak points, such as all neko members who were trained in the battle arts. Lunar Rosa was astonished that Gado was even acting as a decoy for her, but this was not the time to be astonished.

Lunar Rosa ran at the meteokyer and hopped on it's back. "Chill out you big lizard!" Lunar Rosa yelled as her hands glowed ice blue it instantly froze the meteokyers wings, which brought it to the ground. Lunar Rosa hopped off and went at the meteokyer who
s eyes were obviously filled with pain, not from it's wings being frozen solid, but the fact that the gem on it's forehead was drawing out uneccsary power. "This should help." Lunar Rosa murmered. drawing an icicle into her hand and stabbing the gem that was torturing the meteokyer.

"Gyaah.." The meteokyer mumbled as it unfroze its wings and looked at Lunar Rosa and smiled at her.

"Thank you, that stone was causing me great pain. It was placed by a women in dark, saying she was the follower of the King of Darkness..."

"Hmm.." Lunar Rosa mumbled.

"I believe this is yours." The meteokyer said in a godly tone, waved it's wings and a bright red shining light appeared and dissappeared.

"The axe of fire is in your hands now, your next stop should be , the cavern spring of Cerulean." The meteokyer mumbled. "Oh and make sure to keep this." Another bright light shined and a shattered fragment of a red crystal appared and was in LunarRosa's hands.

"The lava crystal, spirit of the lava." Lunar Rosa whispered, it felt warm and it had a burning fire.

"Uhm, guys I kinda woke up, and what the hell are these axes doing in my hands?" lance had managed to wake up and it was clearly obvious he had no idea what was going.

Lunar Rosa sighed and said. "It's a long, painful story." Luar Rosa sighed once more and looked at the Red meteokyer. "Hey can you teleport all of us out of here?" Luanr Rosa was sick of the heat considering she was an ice elemental.

The meteokyer nodded and raised it's wings, which telported Lunar Rosa, Gado, Andrew, and Lance at the very base of the volcano where iris was waiting.

"Atttttooooon! Your alright!" Iris yelped and ran and glomped Gado, who she mistakeling took for Atton.

"My job is done here." Lunar Rosa smirked, as Konan came back to her senses. Konan blinked absent mindedly until she yelped at her severly burned back.

"Ouchies, how did this happen?" Konan whispered as she tried to look at her cindered back. Konan then looked up and saw Gado. "You must be Gado, nice to meetcha?" Konan mumbled nervously, the very sight of Gado made her feel nervous.
 
Chapter 26: Aftermath

Andrew watched as Lunar Rosa fought the Meteokyer. "Hmm... she is powerful. No wonder why Marcus lost." Said Andrew as he watched LR take out the gem. "But how did I win? How did I gain so much speed? ... Well, it doesn't matter... I still won. In any case, I still need to find Enel's base." And with that, Andrew turned to leave, but was instead warped to the entrance. "Well, that was convenient." And with that, Andrew turned to face Konan, Gado, Lance, and Iris. "... I wish I could travel with them, but... I can't. I have to find Enel's base and take care of them once and for all." And with that, Andrew flew away at very high speeds.

(Copter)

Samuel looked out at the volcano. "The weapons are gone... The axe and the knuckles have been taken." Samuel shook his head, but discovered that something was on radar. "What? What is that thing!? It has to be going at Mach 1 speed!"

"It appears to be that falcon morph... should we engage in persuit?" Asked the scientist. Samuel shook his head before replying.

"No, do not persue. Lord Alex won't like it if we destroy any of the anthros too early." And with that, Samuel sat down. "But do send someone to him. Reveal our main headquarters."

"I shall tell him myself." Said the scientist as he sent out his Noctowl. "I'll be back soon." And with that, the scientist flew away on his Noctowl.

"Hmm... yes. We shall return to base." Said Samuel as he took the pilot's seat. "Tell Lord Alex that we have one fatality." And with that, the helicopter flew away, towards Cerulean City.

(Andrew)

Andrew stopped in town, as he was exhausted from earlier. "Heh, this form takes up a lot of energy. I have to be careful." And with that, he landed next to the pokemon center, before looking back towards the volcano. "Is that a Noctowl?" Asked Andrew to himself. He looked closer and saw a scientist on it, and on the coat was the Enel symbol.

"Hey! I have some information for you!" Yelled the scientist carrying a letter. Andrew narrowed his eyes, but didn't attack. After a minute, the man got off of his Noctowl and handed Andrew a note. "It is a letter of challenge from Lord Samuel. He wants everyone to come and fight us at our heart." The scientist went to climb back on, but in a minute, he was on the ground... dead.

"Hmm... I don't trust him, but this is my only lead. I'll show those other anthros when they come here." Said Andrew to himself as he sent the Noctowl off. "Enel, I'm coming for you all. And you will go down." Andrew opened the letter and took out a letter, and a map of Kanto. "'Cerulean City is where our base is. You all are too weak to beat us. What you fought on Cinnabar is nothing compared to what lies ahead.'... Well, this is going to be one hell of a fight." And with that, Andrew went into the Pokemon Center.

(ooc: Short, but it is meant to be short. You don't have to add this in as a story arc if you don't want to, but either way... Enel's going down in Cerulean, or at least near it.)
 
Into the night

"I guess you still know how to fight. Impressive."

Gado looked back at Lunar Rosa, just right after managing to climb up on the Meteokyer using his harsh, outward scales as a ladder. One quick blow to the snout made the giant dragon stutter back for a while, time Gado used to hop down; landing with a perfect somersault in front of Lunar Rosa. "Is that a compliment or an insult?" Gado mocked; feeling incapable of say something smarter to the being he had so much to clarify. She remained quiet for a couple of moments, though; and afterwards she spoke, ignoring his pointless remark. "If this is the lava guardian, then there has to be some reason to why it's gone berserk! It wouldn't just get furious for no reason, gods don't do that, it's either being possessed or being ang- Ah how could I have missed it! I'm guessing that is the weak point!" She stated excitedly as she pointed up to the Meteokyer's forehead; where a dark stone glittered.

"Great." Gado said as he turned around again. "You aim for the stone; I'll distract him." Gado then lowered his thorax, putting his hands on the ground; and rushed at the Meteokyer yet again. He had just recovered from the impact, but it didn't take him any longer than those seconds to come to his senses and throw a strong hit with his tail. The punch sent Gado flying away with a great strength, and soon the bestial was smashed against a wall in the very same fashion he punched the Meteokyer. The force Gado was slammed with made a dent in the shape of a human in the rocky walls of the volcano, and the flowing magma burned the back of his clothes. The hole was so deep that Gado didn't fall back to the front; he just fit there like a puzzle piece. ~Ow…~ Gado thought to himself as he closed his eyes to avoid the particles of rock and dust from entering. He could notice, however, Andrew about to fall down into the lava. ~Gado!~ Atton yelped. ~Help him! He's going to die.~

~Uh… Yeah…~Gado thought absentmindedly as he pulled his arm out of the dent and prepared to jump out, leaving clear that he didn't suffer any major damage from the collision. All of a sudden, however; as he fell down to a scorching death, Andrew's appearance changes and he recovered all out of nowhere. His wings cut themselves short in size and his hair was also modified. It didn't seem like the other form he had already seen, the one that fought Lunar Rosa. It was something different.

~A third one?~ Atton thought bedazzled.



~It seems so….~ Gado said. Silence surrounded them two for some seconds, but then Atton pierced through it with a yell.

~Dude, he has a third form. Konan has one too; the saber-toothed feline that almost killed us last night. What about you, huh? Where's your mightiness? I'm sure it could come in handy now!~

~Gah, shut up!~ Gado yelled, not even considering to answer Atton's question. Without saying anything else, Gado pulled his feet out of the rift and pushed himself back into the platform, just in time to avoid a large fireball spit at him. Gado noticed Lunar Rosa had now climbed up to the Meteokyer's head, and he knew that if the Meteokyer noticed, he'd be pissed. "Hey, down here, creep!" Gado yelled as he approached, unsure of what to do. The first thing that came to his mind, though, was to kick the Dragon's shins. Yes, childish move, but it would grant him enough time to make Lunar Rosa act. "Take this!" Gado yelled as he approach, delivering a blow to the uncovered tibia. Then, he spit on his claws. "How's that?" he asked furious as he looked up at him. The dragon roared angrily at him, obviously not even feeling the hit. Along with the roar, a large amount of green spit engulfed Gado, but before the dragon could strike again, he fell to the ground all of a sudden, his frozen wings immobilizing him. Lunar Rosa made a knife-like piece of ice appear on her hand, and without faltering; she stabbed the gem.

The Meteokyer winced in pain and horror, but quickly he came back to normal, almost in a relaxed way. His wings unfroze automatically and the red beast stood up, rubbing his head in pain. "Gyah… …Thank you, that stone was causing me great pain. It was placed by a woman in dark, saying she was the follower of the King of Darkness...I believe this is yours." The Meteokyer said in an overwhelming and stalwart voice tone. It was like a completely different creature now that the gem was gone. Not only did his strange armor to drop to reveal an even more intimidating structure; but his eyes changed color as well. The Meteokyer put his hands together with only a few feet of separation and then made a red, shining object appeared. It took the shape of a double-sided battleaxe and the disappeared.

"The axe of fire is in your hands now, your next stop should be , the cavern spring of Cerulean. Oh and make sure to keep this."

Another light appeared again, but this one was smaller. It was a shard of a crystal, one that was almost identical to the one Iris received, except that this one was red. Lunar Rosa took the crystal into her hands and put it away. ~You see, Gado?~ Atton asked from within the bestial. ~I told it's not a waste of time. This is happening for a reason. This is real. The dream… It's a reality. Now we have 2 crystals; and it hasn't even been a week. I say, we're doing fine.~


~You could've been killed here, Atton. We could've been killed here. I don't know if this is worth it. Who's that girl in the dreams, anyway? ~ Gado inquired anxiously and angrily as he felt a magical light engulf his body; one that led him out of the volcano and back to the base.

~I don't know. But hey, I mean, after all you've told me, you should only be glad I decided to join this group…~

Once again, the group was outside, on the base of the Volcano, deep inside the woods. "Attoooon! You're alright!" A high-pitched shout pierced through the quiet atmosphere as Iris rushed in out from the woods and threw her delicate frame against Gado's, presumably believing Atton was in the control of the Leo body. It was weird, though, that not even by the obvious physical changes she hadn't noticed Gado was currently in charge. "Agh!" Gado roared as he used his Lion tail to push Iris away, preventing contact. "Cooties." He mentioned jokingly as he took a step back.

"My job is done here." He heard Lunar Rosa say as she morphed back to Konan, who just stared around dumbfounded and with an innocent smile before she noticed the incineration on her back. "Ouchies, how did this happen?" Konan whispered to herself as she tried to look at her own back, much like a dog chasing its own tail. Before she could actually do the 360 degree turn, though; her eyes came in contact with Gado's."You must be Gado, nice to meetcha?"

Gado didn't say anything; he just looked down at Konan from his imposing height and scowled at her. He couldn't think of anything to say, and this was obvious. If he tried to say something, probably just a mean insult'd come out, and even Gado knew that if he said something wrong; not only would it make things even rougher with Lunar Rosa, but Atton would be really pissed if he bothered her. "Yes." Gado said blankly as he looked up at the sky and morphed back into Atton.

"Wow!" Atton yelped as the change ended. "That was so crazy!" He said as he faltered back and forth, obviously feeling and bit dizzy and tired. "Oh, hi, Konan." He said as he turned to the Neko, this being the first words he had said to her in a while. "Wow. I can't believe we have 2 of the crystals already! This is quick; we will save the world in no time!" He exclaimed, all of a sudden feeling ecstatic and elated about the whole situation. Just then, he noticed Andrew fly away, and before he could say anything; Lance, who didn't move away from them, spoke. "Hey guys," he started as he looked down at the new weapon, unsure of what he could do with them, "can I tag along with you for a while? I don't know how, or why, but… But it's like this weapons have talked to me. I… You'll call me crazy, but I had a dream that involved all of you ladies and gentlemen; and something's telling me I want to travel with you." He finalized before muttering something under his breath, "Plus, I wouldn't mind spending more time with Konan, hehe."

Atton scratched his head for some moments as he looked at Lance. The presence of him made him uneasy about himself, and he wish he could've said no, but then; he had to accept. He was one of them. One of the silhouettes, and now he had a weapon. He belonged with them.

"Yeah, sure!" Atton yelped happy, hiding his true feelings away from his voice. The answer made Iris look at him and raise a brow."Are you sure about that?" She asked in a nervous tone as she approached Atton. Yeah, though her expression hinted she wanted him to reject, she knew that if Lance was with Konan, Atton will have to back away and she would have more time with him.

"Well, yeah; I don't have a problem. Anyone objects?" Atton asked.

"Well, anyway;" He began to say as he looked at the darkening sky. It didn't feel like it, but hey had spent a couple of hours inside the volcano, enough like to make the day go away, "that dragon said we had to head to Cerulean, no? Great. I'll go look for a way to get us there, I'll meet up with you guys later!" Atton said as he smiled at everyone in the group, waved goodbye, and then ran away.

When Atton was out of the woods, he noticed that the whole mess from Festival of Flames had been cleaned already, and the city was already back to normal activities. Quickly enough, Veil sprung out of nowhere and greeted her trainer, who after petting her, climbed up and started to go around the city.

~What was that all about?~ Gado inquired as they headed to the docks of Cinnabar.

~What do you mean?~ Atton asked, not sure of what Gado meant.

~You seemed really happy right back at the Volcano. What was that all about? I mean, you seemed to be in a rush of caffeine. Elaborate?~

~I don't know what you're talking about.~

~Of course you do. You're hiding something, no?~

~No. Now be quiet, Gado.~

A while of tranquility was presented to them, but soon he made it to the docks. When he was there, Atton stepped down from Veil and walked over to a large bulletin board that rested on a large pole whose base was submerged into water. Cocking his head to a side, Atton approached to the message board and saw something that seemed like a list of the ships, prices, destinations, and dates. Atton was amazed to see that the very same ship they got here in was returning people to their respective locations; presumably because the Festival of Flames was over. Earlier today, the ship left to return people to Pallet, but tomorrow; the ship left to Vermilion docks.

"Great!" Atton yelled happy as he punched a fist up to the darkening sky. Of course. They could go to Vermilion, then move up to Cerulean from there. That probably was the shortest way without having a flying transport. There were two obstacles, though. First, the route to Vermilion took 2 days of traveling without docking, thing that didn't really make Atton glad. He wasn't used to being on water that long. Second, the price wasn't at all appealing. Atton sighed, taking his hand to his pocket and shaking a few gold coins inside. They weren't PokeDollars, but precious metals were accepted as currency everywhere. Deciding he wouldn't really need his money for many other things, Atton turned around and saw the offices of the dock; and believed he could get the tickets there.

Atton walked in, then walked out after a long while, presumably an hour. Not to his surprise, it was dark already, and the first stars of the night were beginning to show. Atton was left with only a few coins, but now he had enough tickets for everyone. In fact, for buying so many, he got one free. He stuffed the pieces of paper into his pocket and then walked back into the city, deciding to take some time to himself before going into the Pokémon center to sleep. Atton walked towards the beach he had been in yesterday while in the Flame Festival and sat down on the sand, meditating about everything that happened today and wondering about events to come.
 
Konan looked at Gado, who was nothing like Atton. Atton would smile at her so kindly, while Gado towering about a foot above her was angerly scowling at her. "U-uhm.." Konan stuttered, this huge lion was glaring at her like he was about to eat her.

"He probably wanted to talk to me." Lunar Rosa stated blandly, as if she didn't care.

"Yes." Gado said blankly as he looked up at the sky and morphed back into Atton. Konan breathed a sight of relief and felt her heart settle down, when Gado was out it felt like she was staring down the face of the devil.

"ah.." Konan murmured, as she sweatdropped.

"Wow!" Atton yelped as the change ended. "That was so crazy!" He said as he faltered back and forth, obviously feeling and bit dizzy and tired. "Oh, hi, Konan." He said as he turned to the Neko, this being the first words he had said to her in a while. "Wow. I can't believe we have 2 of the crystals already! This is quick; we will save the world in no time!"


"Yea! We will!" Konan agreed with Atton as Iris and Lance both raised their hands in agreement.

"Hey guys," he started as he looked down at the new weapon, unsure of what he could do with them, "can I tag along with you for a while? I don't know how, or why, but… But it's like this weapons have talked to me. I… You'll call me crazy, but I had a dream that involved all of you ladies and gentlemen; and something's telling me I want to travel with you." He finalized before muttering something under his breath, "Plus, I wouldn't mind spending more time with Konan, hehe."

Konan tuned bright red in embarassment, and was speechless, and Iris decided to tease her." Oh is someone embarassed?" Iris giggled in a troublesome manner.

"Ah..No, no it's not like that, I don't even know him!" She pointed to Lance who was now slumped over in dissappointment.

"Lady Konan, how could you say that after all we've been through." Lance mumbled slumped over drawing circles in the ground.

"I've known your for what..a day?" Konan yelled and smacking him on the head, which led to him having a large bump on his head.

"Well, anyway;" He began to say as he looked at the darkening sky. It didn't feel like it, but hey had spent a couple of hours inside the volcano, enough like to make the day go away, "that dragon said we had to head to Cerulean, no? Great. I'll go look for a way to get us there, I'll meet up with you guys later!" Atton said as he smiled at everyone in the group, waved goodbye, and then ran away.

"Ah..okay bye Atton!" Konan waved, he was probably running errands no biggy. Konan was watching the humorous scene between Iris and Lance, Lance was listenhing to Iris who was giving advice to Lance about how to pick up girls. Konan sweatdropped, and snuck off in the commotion.

As she left the two and the volcano she headed for the beach, she was happy, the tranquil sea breeze, and sound of the ocean calmed Konan. She smiled as she saw some remoraid hopping through the sea' currents, as Tweety landed on her shoulder. "Ah Tweety, there you are. I think you should go back in your pokeball." Konan muttered, Tweety nodded as a red laser came out and returned it to it's pokeball.

"The calm serenity of the ocean, it's lovely." Konan muttere to herself as the sea breeze swayed softly, before Konan even knew it the star was already turning a light grey and small stars were beginning to twinkle in the sky. Konan decided to walk along the beach, not noticing where she was going she tripped over a large being who had plompted himself in the sand and was meditating, face first in the sand and very, very pissed off she looked up and yelled.

"HEY WATCH WHERE YOU DECIDED TO SIT YOURSELF, I DON'T LIKE TRIPPING OVER PEOPLE, NEXT TIME I'LL KI- Oh it's Atton, merely meditating!" Konans voice turned from a hatred one , to a calm and playful one. She waved her hand over Attons eyes, he was clearly meditating, Konans faced filled with mischief, as she took a handful of salty sand and smooshed it in Attons face, she began to laugh merrily like a small child.

"Hahahahha, I got you!"
 
(ooc: Andrew is back in his normal form as of this post)
Chapter 27: Meeting Konan, Atton, and his Long, Lost Sister?

Andrew has been waiting for quite a while for Konan, Atton, Iris, or anyone. But no one has come that he needed to talk to. "Well, I wonder where they could be." Andrew went to look for them, any of them, when he bumped into someone. "Oh, I'm sorry."

"Oh, that's okay." Said the man as he got up and walked away. "By the way... are you friends with a Leo and a Neko tribe member? Because there are a couple by the beach."

"Could that be them?" Asked Andrew before taking to the air. And yes folks, the sight he would see would be the most surprising he has seen in the years... another falcon tribe member! The falcon tribe person landed near the beach. "What? But that's impossible!" Andrew stared at where the falcon tribe member landed, and flew there.

"Well, if it isn't you... big brother." Said the falcon tribe person as she turned around. This new person was two inches shorter then andrew, with wings about as large as his. Her hair was golden brown and goes halfway down her back. Her arms are fairly short, and she herself is fairly skinny. She wore a simple black shirt, and blue pants with no shoes on. "Well, it seems as if I finally found you... after ten years of searching."

"What are you talking about? Mom never mentioned I had a sister... ever!" Said Andrew backing up from the falcon tribe member.

"I was born at the same time you were, but she gave me up to a middle- class family who didn't dispise Falcon tribe members." Said the girl. "I am your younger sister, my name is Elisa." The girl now known as Elisa smiled at Andrew. "It's nice to meet you, but I'm afraid I have other matters to attend to." And with that, she flew away.

"No... There's another Falcon tribe member. Is it good, or bad?" Asked Andrew as he walked the rest of the way to the beach. And there he saw Konan throwing sand in Atton's face. "Hey, you two! I need to ask you something!" And with that, he jumped into the sand. "Will you two help me fight against Team Enel? Their base is in Cerulean City, and it won't really take you out of your 'weapon search' as they are searching for the weapons!"

Andrew waited a response from the two.

(ooc: Yes, Elisa is a falcon tribe member. You will see more of her later on. Sorry this post is short, but it was necessary)
 
Enter Sandman

Atton sat down on the soft, somewhat moist sand as he let the weight of his body rest on his back and arms. It wasn't a healthy position; for it was proven that if he sat down like that too often he'd grow a hump and be futile regarding his acrobats and fighting skills. But it was comfortable, very comfortable, and that was all he really needed. The warmth of the sand soothed his thoughts, the breeze and sound of the crashing waves cleared his mind, and the gentle, caressing light from the stars relaxed his body. The young Leo closed his eyes and turned his head up to the dark sky, taking a deep breath and beginning to hear his own slow, calm heartbeat as he drifted off to never-never land.

The beach was really lonely, and no other sound was heard other than the one Krabby made when they walked along the shore. Atton was thinking about so many things, yet none at the same times. The incredibly amount of thoughts that tried to filter their way to his mind blinded his brain, which he believed was disentangled already.

~What's it that you're thinking about, Atton? We might share the same brain, but I do have to praise the ability you have from keeping secrets hidden from me.~ Gado said from within Atton, being the time he had stayed quiet long already. The bestial considered taking Atton into mindscape area, but then, Atton passing out in the sand just like that could probably get him in some sort of predicament in the outside world. For now, he'd rather just have a quiet conversation with him.

~What do you mean, Gado?~ Atton asked innocently as he cocked his head to a side, action that even though it wasn't seen by Gado, he couldn't help triggering when he was thoughtful. ~I'm not hiding anything. You know I just think stuff to myself every night.~

~But this is not the case, my fellow last-member-of-the-Leo-Tribe , and you know it as well as I do. Maybe you're not aware, though. There's something bothering you; I can tell.~ Gado then announced, revealing that maybe the fact he lived deep inside Atton's mind led him to knowing every single thing that the Leo ever imagined.

Atton sighed and lowered his faltering head, knowing that he'd been beat by the incredibly mind games of Gado; if he could even call them that way. ~Well,~ he began to say, his voice tone almost sounding like a mocking and teasing one, ~all-knowing Gado, what should I do? I mean, advice me, seeing as you already know what's on my naive head.~

~Uh… W—What?~ Gado stuttered, being caught off guard by Atton's comment. Yes, he expected that sort of response, but perhaps something not so, direct? ~Uh… I guess… You should… Go for it?~ the bestial inquired, unsure of his answer. Truth was, Gado had no idea of what he was saying, mainly because he didn't have the slightest clue of what Atton was thinking. He just thought that if he fooled Atton into believing Gado knew, he'd just say it. But it didn't work out, and know he was being asked; Gado, being ridiculously proud of himself and not willing to admit he was wrong, answered with the first thing he came with.

~Wow, really? But don't you think it can be… Dangerous or awkward?~ Atton asked, really taking for granted that Gado would understand what he was saying.

~Prft, no, don't worry. Everything'll turn out alright, trust me.~ Gado said with a wink; hoping that the plans plotted by Atton didn't involve the murder of someone.

~Ok, I'll trust you. Thanks, Gado...~ Atton said guilelessly as he sighed.

Moments of relaxation then arose around the male, who lied motionlessly on the surface of the beach. It was all really quiet… And calm… Until…

THUD. Completely out of nowhere, a wide open hand with a handful of sand was smashed against Atton's unnoticing face. Atton instinctively opened his eyes and mouth as he felt the hand, only allowing dubious amounts of the sand to go inside his cavities. "Blagh!" Atton yelled as he stood up in a rush, coughing out a mixture of saliva and sand and rubbing the sand out of his swollen eyes. "Hey!" He yelled are he turned with an angry expression on his face, only to be greeted by Konan, who stood smiling in front of him.
"Hahahahha, I got you!" She said as she laughed merrily.

"Ah, Konan, It's you." Atton muttered under his breath as he looked down at Konan, his furious expression suddenly shifting to one of sudden excitement and joy, as if the mere presence of Konan made him forget about the incident. "Yeah, you got me." He said with a slight chuckle. "What are you doing here, Konan?" Atton asked, "It's a bit late already, no?"

But then, Atton realized she had just the same probabilities of being here than he was, so he thought about explaining himself. "Oh, look what I got!" He yelped happily as he took his hand to his pocket. Before pulling the tickets out, though; he sat back down on the ground and tapped on a place near him, inviting her to sit down. Soon, he pulled out the tickets and gave one to her. "I bought these tickets to Vermilion. It'll be two whole days and two nights in the ship, the one we got here in. I know it's a tired trip, but it's the shortest route. We can move to Cerulean from Vermilion by simply moving north. We should be in Cerulean in no time!" He said as he punched his fist up happily, waiting to hear Konan's reaction; and expecting an approbatory comment and not something like "Dumb move, Atton."

After a while, Atton's really happy mood shifted to one of seriousness; concern to an extent. "Hey… Konan…" Atton began to say as he took a deep breath and then turned to watch her, staring straight into her eyes. His whole grimacing signaled his whole self was in a profound state of a mixture of distress and confusion. "Remember… Remember what you told me when we were about to go the volcano? You know, about… History repeating itself and all? Well, I just… Wanted to let you know that no matter what Lunar Rosa or Gado tell you, I'll make sure it doesn't happen. I'd never hurt you, Konan; and I dare to challenge the destiny. I, well, you know; don't want that comments made by our Alter Egos make things tense or awkward. What matters is now, no? Trust me, Konan, I wouldn't harm you. You're my friend."

This reflection came from the fact that Atton suddenly remembered what Konan had said to him in Fire Mountain, and he recalled he didn't respond in any way, though there were many things he wanted to say. In fact, he didn't think he was done with it; but perhaps curtailing the speech was better. After all, he had something else to say on behalf of his bestial. "Oh… And… I know what happened between Gado and Lunar Rosa. Tell her that… Things happened for a reason, and tell her she doesn't need to hold that grudge against Gado. He'll have some explanation to do, later…"

Atton then kept quiet for a second before flashing a bright, reassuring smile at Konan. Atton stood up, taking Konan's hand and helping her up as well. Before Atton said anything else, he heard some loud flapping above the two. "Huh?" Atton said as he looked up, noticing that Andrew was flying down. "Hey, you two! I need to ask you something!" He said as he landed in front of them. "Will you two help me fight against Team Enel? Their base is in Cerulean City, and it won't really take you out of your 'weapon search' as they are searching for the weapons!" He asked anxiously.

"Uh… Yeah, sure. But who's Team Enel, and why do want to fight them? We were headed to Cerulean, anyways. Right, Konan?" Atton asked in a confused way, wondering what had made the bird-like anthropomorph all jump all of a sudden.
 
Remiscing

Utter silence between the two as she looked at the ticket. "Cruise huh, I wonder if they will have doughnuts on there, i mean. The chocolate doughnuts, cause I like chocolater doughtnuts, and maybe they will have a spa, hehe! And manga stores galore, I've been looking for a new visual novel, most of theme are eroge games which kind of sucks." Konan slumped over into her sandy chair and sighed. "I've scene few visual novels that didn't have any type of adult type of images.." Konan mumbled remebering the first time she played a visual novel with Hinata, and ended up on a eroge scene, which was very awkward. "Anyway..Yeah souds like fun, but why does it have to be water, why can't it be..cream puffs?!" Konan yelled as comedic tears fell down her eyes as she twiddled her fingers in the sand.

"Hey… Konan…" Atton began to say as he took a deep breath and then turned to watch her, staring straight into her eyes. His whole grimacing signaled his whole self was in a profound state of a mixture of distress and confusion. "Remember… Remember what you told me when we were about to go the volcano? You know, about… History repeating itself and all? Well, I just… Wanted to let you know that no matter what Lunar Rosa or Gado tell you, I'll make sure it doesn't happen. I'd never hurt you, Konan; and I dare to challenge the destiny. I, well, you know; don't want that comments made by our Alter Egos make things tense or awkward. What matters is now, no? Trust me, Konan, I wouldn't harm you. You're my friend."
"Ah? oh yeah that, mhm, yeah..I think thats good, I think Luanr Rosa's still mad though, who woulda thought that a person coulda kept a grudge for this long. It's liek build a bridge and get over it!" Konan smiled at him happily, Konan was very easy-going, rarely would she get angry with anyone, whoch was a relief to her and everyone around her, seeing as how Konan was very mean when she got peeved.

"Oh… And… I know what happened between Gado and Lunar Rosa. Tell her that… Things happened for a reason, and tell her she doesn't need to hold that grudge against Gado. He'll have some explanation to do, later…" Atton murmured, Konan looked at him. To be honest, she had no idea what was gonig on, she really didn't even care. Luanr Rosa's issues weren't her issues, Konans issue was remembering her former self.

"Ah Atton, guess what guess what! I think I'll remeber a whole lot in Cerulean, I just know it! And and I'll know who I was!" Konan raised her hands up like a small child.

Hey, you two! I need to ask you something!" He said as he landed in front of them. "Will you two help me fight against Team Enel? Their base is in Cerulean City, and it won't really take you out of your 'weapon search' as they are searching for the weapons!" He asked anxiously.

"Uh… Yeah, sure. But who's Team Enel, and why do want to fight them? We were headed to Cerulean, anyways. Right, Konan?" Atton asked in a confused way, wondering what had made the bird-like anthropomorph all jump all of a sudden.

"Nyaa, do we have to go I'm sleepy.." Konan mumbled as she yawned showing her sharp feline teeth. Konan got up and mumured "We''ll go in the morning, the ship doesn't come till tommorow, and make sure to tell Lance, and Iris when the ship is coming, I'm going to bed." Konan mumbled, being part cat she got tired rather easily. She headed back to the pokecenter and sat on the room she had rented for the night, it was easier to sleep here then outside. She pulled the blanket over herself and fell asleep, although Lunar Rosa was very much awake and very troubled.
-----------------------
"Hmm, Is it the exact anniversery of that day? That I met him?" Lunar Rosa asked herself.
-----------------------
"Now Rosa, to be a proper warrior you must learn to control both magic and swordsmanhip, at best controlling ice magic with your sword." A elder neko sword mumbled, as a five year old Lunar Rosa took a small sword. "Now being of royal blood you should be able to handle this, now go train." The elder ordered her and Lunar Rosa's cheeks puffed out in displeasure.

"Fine, stupid ancestry, darn it I hate being of royal blood, I always have to work my but off training, for some stupid war that isn't even going to happen! So lame!" Luanr Rosa yelled as hse wandered through the forest dragging the plastic sword that was given to her. She heard someone slashing trees in the forest.

"Ah, what is this? A Leo?" Lunar Rosa mumbled as she hid behind a tree to conceal herself, he was obviously training just as she was. He then threw a sword at the tree nearly piercing the tree.

"Who's there?" Gado growled, Lunar Rosa began to freak out, the Neko's and Leo's were enemies, he would surely kill her if he found her. "I told you come out before I kill you!" The child Gado yelled, even when he was a child Gado was a complete power freak.

"Ah, uhm.." Lunar Rosa came out of hiding holding her plastic sword, pretending it was a real sword she gripped it in her hand. "C-careful don't mess with me, I got a sword too!" Gado only laughed in amusement.

"Your forms wrong, you'll never be able to block with that, now go like this.." Gado came up to her and readjusted the sword in her hand, Lunar Rosa puffed her cheeks out in anger.

"I w-would have done that eventually!" Lunar Rosa yelled, her cheeks turning bright red with embarassment. "I won't be shown up by a Leo!" Lunar Rosa yelled as Gado stuffed dirt into Lunar Rosa's mouth.

"Yea, yea, yea, eat my dust!" Gado chuckled. Lunar Rosa coughed up the dirt and puffed up her cheeks again.

"That wasn't nice!" She yelled as she coughed up the dirt.

"Whatcha yah gonna do about it?" Gado teased her, Lunar Rosa growled, and lunged at him with her plastic sword, and with that the play sword fight had begun. It lasted till dusk when the two were out of breathe, but still role-playing that they were great warriors.

"I will not be defeated by the likes of you black knight!" Lunar Rosa yelled a playful smirk on her face.

"You must die warrior mistress!" Gado yelled back as the pressed their sword aginst each other, but the two were to tired out and fell on the ground at the same time.

"Gah, your good!" Lunar Rosa panted, Gado chuckled at her and smiled, "Well your not so bad yourself." The two laughed merrily as they picked up their swords and raised them.

"I'll beat you one day!" The two yelled in unison as they swore to be friends and rivals at the same time, they both smiled. "Friends till the end!" The two smiled, they promised no matter what war brought they would stay friends, no matter what..
---------
"It was a mistake getting so close to him.." Lunar Rosa mumbled.
--------

Several years later in the flashback mode, Gado and Lunar Rosa appeared no more then the age of ten, however Gado was growing in height, which Lunar Rosa disliked. "You need to say short, I look short come pared to you.." Lunar Rosa whined and Gado merely smiled back and ruffled her hair.

"Shorty!" Gado teased her as Luanr Rosa hit him playfully.

"Shut up giant!" Lunar Rosa laughed, which made Gado frown in displeasure.

"G-Giant?" Gado mumbled, bullseye Lunar Rosa got him dead on. Luanr Rosa looked at him and laughed, but as they were laughing, a anthromorph that appeared to be a jackal form.

"The two greatest warriors in enemy villages huh? Wait till your elders here about it." The jackal smirked and ran off, Lunar Rosa screeched in horror, she would surely be in huge trouble if she was seen hanging around with a Leo.

"Ah! Crap! I have to go Gado, Later!" Lunar Rosa yelled running off leaving Gado in the woods.
---
Luanr Rosa had been called in to the concel, several glares were amoungst her, and then..SLAP. The head of the council slapped her and glared at her, Lunar Rosa fell to her knees and cried holding the red mark on her face. "Rosa you know the punishment for making friends with a Leo." She rose two fingers and Luanr Rosa gasped in horror and cried.

"No nothing but that PLEASE!" Lunar Rosa yelled as they brought out a stranger torture device, she was forced to place her finger in it, and then..Lunar Rosa's loud scream filled the room. The machine had ripped off her fingernail, and the now fingernailess finger began to bleed, and Luanr Rosa cried in agony, as the next finger was placed in..

"AHHH! NOOO!" The young neko screamed once more.
----------
About nine years later
----------
A nineteen year old Lunar Rosa looked at the elder in surprise. "War? But I'm nineteen, neko's don't go to war till they are twenty!!" Lunar Rosa yelled the elder slapped her though.

"Child you are one of the greatest warriors in the village you are needed, now that the jackals have joined the war." The elder mumbled.

Rosa sighed and nodded. "Alright I'll go practice somemore then.." Rosa mumbled and walked off into the woods carrying a real sword this time around. And ocne again she was greeted with Gado training.

"Ah.. Ga-Gado." Rosa mumbled a blush appearing on her face.

"Yo!" Gado greeted her with a friendly smile and ran to greet her, she looked down sadly.

"I'm being sent to war, I won't see you again I guess." Rosa mumbled but Gado looked at her and gave her a reassuring smile.

"I'm going to war too, so lets promise to never harm each other! I'll protect you from any invading enemy!" Gado yelled raising his fist up in the air. Rosa blushed and smiled.

"A-Ah yes.." Rosa mumbled.
-------------------
IT WAS ALL A LIE THOUGH!" Lunar Rosa yelled as the surrounding mindscape froze over as angry tears filled her eyes.
-------------------
"Gado, I brought some lunch for u- Gado?" Lunar Rosa mumbled as he saw him holding a sword. "Look you don't have to train all the tii-" Slash, the sword now pierced through Lunar Rosa and she looked down. "G-gado..Why?" Rosa asked as she coughed up blood, she didn't seem him shed a single tear, and as Lunar Rosa faded from consciousness, she only heard his mouth mutter something as he removed the sword from her stomach. "You...b..et..rayed..me..I'll...ki...ll...yo..u" Lunar Rosa mumbled as she breathed her last not noticing what sword it was and the tears Gado had shed after she had been killed.
