Pokemorph Liberation Force: Kanto

Status
Not open for further replies.
OOC: Shadow, the three boulders were Jade's doing. Not Brunos. It might have been confusing but, she conjured them....You'll see.

IC:
Aisha tore out of no where, colliding with Bruno and hitting him hard. Jade smirked, and exhaled happily. Some one had come. I knew they would come.
"Do I have perfect timing or what?" the Arcanine Morph grinned. Before she could say "YES!" Ember also came out of no where. Thank God for those two...

Jade didn't stay to watch the fight, this was probably the only opportunity she had to save Oliver. She wasn't going to mess that up. She ran to him, dodging the heat of the battle, a knelt by his side.
"Oliver? Oliver, please speak to me!" she cried, holding up the spiky head of her love.
His eyes opened lazily and slowly processed what they were seeing. He blinked several times and, with her help, lifted his head. "Jade?" his voice was weak but relieved
"Yes, Oliver, it's me. Oh God, what did they do to you?" she put a hand behind his head, cautious of the spikes the portruded from the part in his hair down his spine.
"They...." words were hard to get out. Each one seemed painful, "They force morphed me....with my Sandslash..." Oliver coughed, blood spurting and staining Jade's shorts. "It worked...but...it was so....so painful..."

"No more talk," said Jade, not wanting to bring him anymore pain. The once sweet voice of her love was coated in agony.
I joined to protect people. I joined so this would never happen...I failed.
"You're going to be fine, Oliver," she said, looking into his amber eyes, one of the things that hadn't changed. She reached for his hand, part razor-sharp claw now, and squeezed it tight. She ignored the cut and her own blood seeping out of the wound that his new claws had made. "You are going to be fine."

Swiftly, Jade picked him up in her arms and ran toward the tunnel, hoping and praying that she'd only meet friendly faces on the way. She needed to get Oliver out of there, with the rest of Lavender. He sunk back into unconsciousness as they ran. With one hand, Jade called Theo.
"I've found him."
"We made it to the other side. I'll go with a couple others and meet you in the tunnel," said Theo. "How does the town look?"
Jade took a glimpse over her shoulder, "It could be worse"
"Shouldn't you be fighting?"
"I'll help with Agatha, if she's around, when I return. I am useless against Bruno....but I will help all I can," said Jade.

I'll be back soon she texted the team, hoping that at least Clove would understand.
 
"J-Jade! Where you going? We can't take Bruno alone!?" Aisha cried as Jade pounced off. As the morph disappeared out of sight her phone went off and she dug into her pocket to retrieve it. The message was from Jade and it clearly stated that she would be back soon. The Arcanine morph raised an eyebrow at the statement and repeated it under her breath. "Be back soon? What does-"
Bad move, she had completely forgotten that Bruno had been standing only a few steps in front of her, completely enraged that the Arcanine morph had landed a blow. She was grabbed roughly by the throat and hurled up against a near by wall. Her wind pipe was being crushed considerably under the heavy hand of the elite four member and her legs began to flail in panic. 'What the…he-he should be dead after that move ember threw at him!' she yelled mentally. Her hands came up to try and pry the other pair of bigger hands away from her throat but to no avail. He was starting to choke her and a manor of different spluttering sounds were starting to escape from Aisha's throat.

With the last of her strength she planted her weakening feet against the Machamp morphs chest and drew her sharp claws down his chest, slowly but surly tearing open the flesh beneath. Spots were starting to appear in her line of vision and her head was starting to feel fuzzy but with her enhanced abilities as a morph she was able to last longer than the average human and her nails continued they're journey downwards, staggering over Bruno's abs and through his bellybutton. It was at this point Bruno's hold on her neck staggered and without taking a breath Aisha quickly lunged at the hand that only moments ago were killing her slowly. She planted her teeth firmly into the flesh below and swore to herself that she would not let go until she was practically thrown off.

Bruno yelled in pain as the teeth drew a considerable amount of blood and before long his torso was covered in a long strand of drying blood. The large free hand wrapped itself around Aisha's left leg and began to pull, not caring that Aisha's long fangs would certainly take a chunk of pale blue flesh with it. Needless to say Aisha could not hold on any longer and Bruno threw the young morph at full speed and strength into the wall Jade had been backed up against not long ago. Aisha's full being collided with the solid object and slid down face first onto the concrete beneath. She felt flakes of debris follow her path and land in her spiked hair, but she couldn't care less. Instead she concentrated on her breathing, willing herself not to pass out due to fear that she may not wake up again. A trickle of blood started to seep down her brow and she stared at the lonely remains of a chipped fang laying next to her.

She stared at Bruno through hazy eyes and couldn't help the satisfactory grin that painted itself across her features at the bloody mess of both hand and torso. True she had not done any proper damage and at the end of the day she was the most worse for ware between the two of them, but at least his hand had gone down with her. She gave a sigh and just lay there waiting for her regeneration abilities to kick in…if they ever did. 'It's up to you now new-girl.' She thought.

(OOC: one question: how does she know Ember's name if they've never met before? It's not a big deal ^.^)

Ember watched in horror as Bruno, after completely ignoring her usually devastating attack, proceeded toward the Arcanine-Morph.

I thought that my attack would at least take his attention from her, Ember panicked.

He chose one of you to get rid of first, Pyra said. Then the other would be easier to take.

Ember attempted to lung forward, but found her feet were held in place.

What are you doing Pyra?! Ember demanded, pulling on her legs.

Bruno now held the Arcanine-Morph by the neck and was strangling her.

You almost broke my concentration with your first blow, Pyra explained. If you move again, I won't be able to hold off the other Morphs.

The Arcanine-Morph struggled against Bruno and dug her claws into his chest, drawing blood. Bruno seemed unfazed.

She's going to get killed! Ember reasoned, frantically trying to gain control of her legs again.

More blood gushed out of Bruno's form until her released the Arcanine-Morph, who then attatched herself to his arm with her teeth.

If the Morphs join in, you're both dead! Pyra increased her hold on Ember's legs.

Bruno pulled her from his arm and thrust her into the wall. The Arcanine-morph slid down, appearing dead.

I'M NOT JUST GOING TO LET HER DIE LIKE THAT!! Ember snapped back in control and immediately leapt forward.

Bruno had stepped closer to the Arcanine-Morph and was preparing to crush her. Ember bolted forward, shouting as she prepared to attack with no move in particular. She jumped onto his shoulders and began scratching and biting. Blood spurted out of the claw marks covering the back of his head and neck and a hunk of his ear was missing. Ember's mouth tasted like blood, but that only fed her rage. Ember felt Bruno's enormous hand wrap around her arm. She was lifted off of his neck and thrown back into the center of town, rolling to a stop. She jumped up and glared at Bruno, preparing to attack again. Ember's vicious grin faded as she saw the remainder of his minions closing around her.

What've I done?

Jade had left Oliver with Theo and, reluctantly, sped away. She didn't want to leave him, but she had to. She had left Ember and Aisha with Bruno. They couldn't hold him for long.

By the time she made it back to the center of the town, Aisha was on the ground and so was Ember. Bruno and his minions were closing in and there was only one thing Jade could think of to do.

She was by their side in seconds, looking Bruno in the face. She didn't acknowledge them but she glared at Bruno , who looked torn up but strong as ever.
"Oh, you're back? I thought you'd run away, tail between your legs with your lover," Bruno snarled.
Jade's insides rumbled and her purple aura returned, angry that it hadn't had it's chance to fight yet. "I don't have a tail," she growled. "Hold on." was all she said to her teammates before she unleashed another Earthquake.

The ground beneath Ember and Aisha was left untouched but Bruno and his minions went flying at the force. Jade knew it wouldn't hurt them too much, but it definitely knocked them off their feet, several yards away. All Jade could do is stall, defend, and distract.
But dammit, I'm going to do all of that if it means saving Lavender and making sure no one else dies!

Bruno got to his feet about a football field away and laughed, "It that all you have, Earthshaker? You know your attacks have barely any effect on me, don't you?" his laughter became hysterical.

Jade whispered to Ember and Aisha, who were still on the ground (in awe maybe?), "All I can do is be a solid defence and make sure neither of you is hurt any more than you already are. Don't get too close to him. Attack from afar until Clove and the others get here." Her purple aura pulsed, "I will protect you. GO!"
 
As he ran, Denx was swinging the charged kunai wildly, hoping to get in at least a slash. But, as he closed in, the Lucario pulled off a stunt where he ducked and parried. He grabbed Denx's arm with both hands, on hand near his shoulder and the other at his wrist. He then blasted his knee upward, colliding with his elbow. Denx clenched his eyes, and gritted his teeth. Dropping the kunai helplessly to the ground was all that he could do. He looked at the morph, and prepared a ThunderPunch, but the morph could tell what he was thinking by his aura, and kicked his knee. Denx fell to the ground, as the Lucario morph released him viciously by throwing him into the ground.

Damn, he knows all my pressure points.. I can't do anything! Denx thought. At this rate, he was going to be disabled from battle again. Denx started to get up, and the Lucario morph merely scowled. He leapt up into the air, and aimed a strong kick. Denx twisted his entire spine to dodge the kick. He fell to the ground after landing in an awkward position. He rolled out of the way of any sort of attack. The Lucario morph drew his sword again, and swung at Denx with blinding speed. If it weren't for another tremor, his head would've been seperated from his body. Instead, the Lucario morph was tripped up, and hit Denx with the flat side of the sword. The electricity charged in Denx went through the sword, and electrocuted the morph. The Lucario laid there, paralysis taking over his body. He wasn't able to over come the paralysis quite like the Medicham, because he couldn't recover. Denx grabbed his sword, and knocked the Lucario morph to his knees. He gripped the sword, and swung it. The sharp edge was toward the back, hitting the Lucario morph in the neck with the blunt side. The Lucario morph fell to the ground, roaring in pain, but unmoving. Denx dropped his sword next to him, and picked up the kunai he had previously used, except this time he would really end the Lucario morph's life.

He ran, gripping the sword, to the place where he had felt the tremors. After a short burst of Quick Attack, he found himself behind a crowd of various fighting type morphs. In the center of the mosh pit were Ember, the Arcanine morph he had previously seen, Jade, and.. Bruno! Two morphs looked at him, but Denx clashed the sharp edge of the sword on them. Pinning the sword up against the side of a building, he hung up a Tyrogue and Machoke morph. He looked at the gruesome sight, trying not to become sick. He took the moment of stealth to his advantage. No one had noticed Denx's silent kill, so he charged up a Zap Cannon. After a moment, he heard Jade say something to the other two.

"I will protect you. GO!" Denx released the Zap Cannon at her words, and it struck the center of the minion crowd. With a bang and a fizzle, he took out 8 morphs in the electrified explosion. In his frenzy, he somehow launched another Zap Cannon at the right of the minions, taking some out. There were more, but he put a good hole in the crowd. The minions near Denx turned their attention to toward him. He leapt over their heads, and kicked a minion in the throat, knocking him to the ground permanently. Denx jumped up into the air again, but this time rolling on the ground to where he had jumped from. But now, he was surrounded by various minor morphs. With a flicker, he pulled off a Flash technique, stunning them and leaving them staggering for their sight. One by one, he used Thunder Punch on them, ending their morphed career. Finally, the last four or five morphs recovered their sight. They meant the end of Denx, and the end of Lavender. It's going to be close, Denx thought.
 
Clove scanned slowly until a figure leaped out from behind him and darted towards the center of the city.

"Centre of town. BRUNO!"

Clove stared in confusion for a sec as she bolted off into the city.

"...Aisha?!"

He wasted no time in questioning any further and followed suit, vanishing in hot pursuit of Aisha and the troubled team mates.

"If Brunos here, some of them may be badly hurt or worse... I'll have to hurry." Clove thought to himself as he could hear and see explosions in the distance. He bounded from rooftop to rooftop, hurrying fast as he could. He halted on a nearby rooftop, finally seeing the team in an epic struggle against Bruno, surrounded by his subordinates. Denx was fighting for his life as he worked to take out as many as possible.

"You're gonna wear yourself out at that rate..." Clove thought as he watched Denx unleash blast after blast. He vanished from the rooftop, appearing silently in front of Denx for a brief moment before vanishing again. In a blur of black shadows and glowing green slices through the air, Clove reappeared, retracting his spikes as the 5 remaining morphs fell in unison.

"Its good to see you're all alive at least... We need to focus on Bruno, Celadon is in trouble as well... I... have to go save it. But we'll need to take him out first..." Clove said in a low tone to the surrounding team members. "Jade... you've done well. Once we defeat Bruno, Lavender is safe. Lets make this happen." Clove said to her, placing a hand her shoulder as she quaked away at Bruno. Without waiting for a response, he vanished, charging straight for Bruno.

"You don't stand a chance... even though he's hurt... but if you let me take over, we could stand a chance...."

"...Cacturne?"" Clove responded aloud as he broke the charge, and dashed to the left quickly. He slid to a stop, eying his huge target who had a clear type advantage. "If... I do this then team should have enough strength to defend Celadon... Lets do it buddy."

"You wont regret it..."

"Alright Bruno..." Clove said aloud as he stood up, his body glowing a dark aura. "You get the honor of being around only the 2nd time this has happened..." the air felt still as his eyes glowed a deep yellow and the shadows swarmed his body.

"Superpower..."

His body now ablaze with dark aura Clove was ready, he felt the tense sensation again of the heightened state.

"Bulk UP!" Bruno roared as he pounded his fists together, his muscles increasing in mass as his attack and defense rose.

"...no use" Clove said in a low empty tone as he vanished, connecting with Bruno's stomach. He paused for a moment before launching through a nearby vacant house.

"Stop pulling us around and use your 5th move. This fight wont be over until you do." Clove said once more as he watched Bruno climb from the rubble.

"You couldn't handle it you--" Bruno spat but was cut off as Clove appeared once more, landing a knee in his stomach, then leaping into the air to land a swift kick in the side of his head that sent him skipping across the ground.

"At this rate, I'll kill you. I said use it so I can move on." Clove said sternly.

"You want my 5th move..... " Bruno said through clenched teeth as he stood up slowly. "You want the 5th move... of Elite 4 BRUNO?!?!!" he roared as he smashed pavement with his massive fists, rising to his feet. "WELL HERE IT COMES!"

ooc: weee Bruno's 5th move... its gonna be powerful. we'll talk about it in ooc. Whoever comes up with the best 5th move for Bruno between you guys is the one we'll use :D. I doubt Clove will be able to handle it alone since it ISSS Elite 4... Cloves just being cocky....
 
Denx saw Clove for a split second, then he disappeared. He reappeared for a last time, then the last remaining morphs fell to the ground, lifeless. Then, in a matter of seconds, he could hear Clove talking. He turned to face Bruno, and saw Clove get knocked off his feet, then Bruno being attacked. It was happening so fast, that Denx didn't know what was going on.

"You want the 5th move... of Elite 4 BRUNO?!?!!" Bruno roared as he smashed pavement with his massive fists, rising to his feet. "WELL HERE IT COMES!" Bruno started to punch the air quickly, until his fists were a blur. With the combined power of Bulk Up, Denx could feel the vibrations of the punching from where he stood, double the distance from Bruno than where Jade, Ember, and the Arcanine morph stood. It started to tickle his feet, even, and he could feel the wind off of each fist, creating almost a gust. "CLOSE COMBAT!" he roared again. He stopped, and slammed the ground as he went to the knelt position. He rose slowly, then dashed at Clove, his blur of fists fanning the air. Denx strained, and used his brightest Flash technique, which was bright enough to draw Bruno's attention from Clove, as he smashed into a building and crumbled it to rubble in seconds. Denx zoomed over with Quick Attack, but was too tired to do much more with his power. He strained for a Zap Cannon, but didn't have enough time. He leapt, just narrowly missing the instant death-trap Bruno had conjured. He picked up a huge boulder, and tossed it at Denx. He didn't care what happened. He turned to face Clove, and smashed his four fists together in one big bang, that created tremors throughout the city.

Denx ducked, but the wind from the boulder knocked him back a few feet. The boulder continued endlessly, and out of sight. There was a deafening boom, and a stifled crash, as if he hit a building some miles away. Denx got up to help Clove, but he saw that Clove was doing it again.. What he had done when Denx rejoined the team.

5th.. move? he thought, remembering what the Medicham had told him.

OOC: It's short, but it's there.
 
5th move? Ember thought.

When Pyra didn't explain, Ember shuffled through her own memories.

I've heard about those before... they're supposed to be incredibly powerful, Ember thought nervously.

Tremors racked the city and Ember looked up to see Bruno turning back to Clove. Ember frantically looked around for a way to help. She wouldn't be much help directly attacking Bruno, especially since she had no idea what his 5th move was, but she had to help. Ember returned her attention to the explosives she had drenched. They had to be somewhat dry by now...

Ember raced toward the pile and tore open the top of one of the cases. All of the explosives were still wet, but they steamed when Ember held them in her hands. She smiled and grabbed a stick of dynamite, a plan forming in her head as she swiftly ran over. As Ember approached, she realized that Clove wasn't about to back away from Bruno so she could throw dynamite at him. Not that he could see her.

What do we do, Pyra? Ember asked.

No answer.

Ember's eyes widened and the dynamite almost slipped through her numbed fingers.

...Pyra?

(OOC: dun dun dun! Okay... so it wasn't that intense, but I got my point across ^.^)

"CLOSE COMBAT" Bruno's voice boomed through the air like a lion's roar. His muscles tightened and intensified. Clove prepared to battle but was quickly interrupted by Denx who leaped into the fray. Bruno dealt with the once rookie morph with somewhat ease, blowing him aside as heavy shock waves blew around the open battle field. Clove held his ground as the blasts blew through. Denx finally slid to a stop, not taking any damage from Bruno but not dealing any either. Bruno quickly shifted his gaze back at Clove.

"Close Combat, aye? Brute force against brute force. What a way to end it." Clove called across the damaged and shook up battle field. "I can talk big... but with that Bulk Up on top... if he lands a hit, it wont be without repercussion." Clove thought as he eyed down the hulking beast of Bruno.

"Lets tangle, big guy."

Clove vanished, instantly appearing in front of Bruno, landing a solid rising knee in his face, launching him off the ground. Wasting no time, Clove quickly spun his other leg around, bringing it down on the same spot, knocking Bruno down hard into the ground and landing face first. Clove followed from mid-air, punching down to the ground with a punch that sent a pavement cracking shock wave through the earth. Standing over Bruno, he sent another punch wailing down with incredible force followed by another. The vicious punches were ruthless as Clove unleashed his might in his heightened form.

"About 5 1/2 minutes left... come on Clove..." He thought as he blasted down on Bruno's head. Raising his fist for another blow, two of Bruno's arms reached up quickly, stopping Clove's fist in cold blood. He struggled against the gigantic palms but to no avail as Bruno stood up to his feet using his other two hands. Clove quickly vanished again, as Bruno swung his mighty fists, sending a gust of wind through the town blowing out windows.

"I was just seeing if that was all you had." Bruno said aloud, popping his neck and brushing rubble from his hair. He moved to a start, moving quickly towards Clove.

"He's almost to sub-visibility speed... this isn't good." Clove thought as Bruno approached. Bruno swung a mighty Dynamic Punch towards Clove. He quickly ducked, letting the fist fly overhead and sail into the air, sending another huge blast of wind off the tips of his fist. "Jesus... and that thing is lethal..."

Clove quickly rose again quickly, counter attacking. He sent heavy blows into Bruno's stomach and face as he spun, combining kicks and punches, dealing hard hits over and over. He pushed off his chest, landing a distance away and sliding to a halt before bursting towards him at earth shattering speed. He threw a huge punch that Bruno met with his own, clashing between them and sending a shock wave that blasted wind in all directions. Clove swung fist and kick one after another as Machamp blocked them with various martial arts while they connected with thunderous booms. Landing his last kick, Clove attempted to boost off Bruno's fist, about to dash to safety with his assault finished but was cut short by one of Bruno's arms reaching and grabbing his foot. Clove's eyes widened as Bruno swung his body limply above his head and brought it down, smashing Clove hard into the ground as gravel and pavement blew everywhere from the collision. Dazed for a moment, Clove looked to the sky from his temporary grave at the sun overhead.

"The sun is still bright... I can't extend my spikes while using Super power... but I wonder about..." Clove was quickly raised into the air by Bruno again, about to take another critical hit from Strength. Clove's palms began to light up as he absorbed solar energy and the dark aura and solar energy began to mix and intertwine. "What the heck is it doing?! I'd better use one hand for now..."

Reaching his palm down, Clove aimed the spiraling dark and solar energy towards Bruno as he floated in mid-swing high over head.

"Eat it."

Clove let the Solar Beam blast straight down as a narrow blast of white energy swirling with his dark aura down at Bruno. The blast sent Bruno crouching defensively as it scorched at his skin. Clove quickly released the beam vanishing and appearing near the team again, sliding to a stop and watching Bruno struggle to his feet.

"So Super Power DID amplify it... I would have exhausted myself if I had used it at full strength... Better save that for later...I need to cut off Super Power soon if I want to have strength for Celadon... I can only afford 1 more minute before the critical zone where I can't move...gotta make it fast." Clove thought as he stood, breathing heavily in front of the team.

"This is the last attack guys! Hit him with what you've got! Now!" Clove yelled.

"Bring it on you tiny weaklings!" Bruno retorted from a distance, slamming his fists together again.

"Damnit... he's weak from Close Combat's side effect... but he's not goin down without a fight..."
 
As Jack ran toward the center of town, he felt tremor after tremor rock the city. Gritting his teeth, he picked up the speed, trying to ignore all of the pictures of his bleeding comrades lying on the ground , dead or dying, that kept flashing through his head. They're alright.... They've got to be alright.....

He leaped to the top of a building and scanned the area around him. They've got to be around here somewhere..... Aha! When he spotted Bruno's massive form, he crouched down to consider his next move. Bruno seemed to be on a rampage, wreaking more havoc in the area than Jack ever thought possible. What could he do to help at this point? What is Ember doing!? Nearby, the Ninetails seemed frozen by something that he couldn't determine. In her hands, he could clearly see a stick of dynamite, but why wasn't she doing anything?

Activating Agility, he raced to Ember's side, but when she didn't respond to his presence, he punched her across the face, not hard enough to hurt but just hard enough to hopefully wake her up. "Whatever it is now is not the time," he growled, infuriated. The fighting between Bruno and Clove intensified, and he itched to jump in and help. At Clove's call for an all-out attack, Jack added to Ember, pointing at the dynamite, "There's the opening you need... Just make sure you use enough to blast him to pieces!"

Meanwhile, Bruno was yelling, "Bring it on you tiny weaklings!", slamming his fists together again. I'm beginning to wonder if anything is powerful enough to stop him. Oh, well.... 'You make your own destiny.' Isn't that what he always used to say, Blitz, while we rolled our eyes and pretended to listen? Not a very original saying, but I think it fits my life more than ever now....

Taking a deep breath, he released the most concentrated Flamethrower he could manage at Bruno, which slammed into his back. Jack's eyes widened in surprise when Bruno was able to turn and start making his way in his direction. Am I hitting him with fire or cotton candy? Picking up a rock, Bruno prepared to throw it.

(Mira: Hope you don't mind Jack punching Ember :\. I wasn't quite sure what to type this time that would sound good and work in this situation.....)
 
Clove had come. Jack was here too. Jade's confidence swelled to full size. She had never lost faith in her team, and this is why.

The sun was shining and Clove did exactly what she thought he would. His Solar Beam was much stronger that it usually was and Jade was shocked that Bruno got back up.
But not that shocked.

"This is the last attack guys! Hit him with what you've got! Now!" Clove yelled.
"Bring it on you tiny weaklings!" Bruno pounded his fists together.

Jade concentrated harder than she had all day. Those rocks....where had they come from? My 5th move....what is it? I need to do it again! I need to do this for Lavender...for Oliver. For what those bastards did to him...
Three large rocks were hovering around her when she opened her eyes. This time she held her breath. As she moved her hands around, the large stones moved too. With a swift wrist movement one of the massive rocks was sent Bruno's way, hitting him square in the forehead.
His head bent backwards and bounced back. He turned away from Jack. Jade pulled the throw stone back toward her and it joined the other two in cirling her.

"Hope that left a mark, you bastard!" her voice was coated in dark feelings but she didn't care. She had the greatest adrenaline rush from this....whatever she was doing. Half of her was wracking her brain, trying to figure out what move this could possibly be. The other half was glaring at Bruno.

The second Bruno took a dizzy step forward, the stones fell. Jade was embarassed by this and the Elite Four's laughter. "What a pretty little morph. Why aren't you dead yet?"

"Little?!" Jade snarled. It was bad enough that she was at a disadvantage and nothing she did would effect Bruno too much. But I'll be damned if I take an insult from this S.O.B. The stones were back, circling her so quickly it would be nearly impossible to attack up close.
Earthquake
Bruno went flying again.

She felt him rumble, two football fields away this time. She smirked and moved forward. It took the highest concentration to bring the hovering stones along with her. As she walked toward the fallen Elite Four she conjured Sandstorm. Hopefully Clove will appreciate this...Sand swirled around her, her eyes becoming dark, the stones rotating even faster.
When she reached Bruno he was getting to his feet.
"Is this all you got?" he asked, spitting blood.
Jade smirked, letting the dark aura take over, coating the stones as well, "You have no idea"

Aisha coughed up some blood as she watched the battle between the new girl and Bruno, she wasn't doing too bad and Aisha even managed a grin when she rolled to a stop and grinned mischievously at Bruno. The something caught her gaze, something she didn't like the looks of. Bruno's minions were closing in on her and there was no one else in sight. With the rest of her strength Aisha pushed herself into a kneeling position and prepared to attack the oncoming minions when a figure landed straight in front of her as if protecting both her and the new girl. The Arcanine morph focussed her gaze on what she thought to be her saviour and smiled thankfully when she noticed it to be Jade back from whatever it was she had been doing. "G-good timing" Aisha muttered, "Were even." Another bloody curling cough emitted from her lungs and she held her head from the pain it caused. "Ack-"

"Hold on"

Aisha looked up in confusion at Jade and was not prepared in the slightest for the Earthquake that followed her words. "Whoa" She dove for the Captains legs out of instinct and held on for dear life as the earth shook dangerously around them. She didn't quite catch Bruno's fall, too concentrated on the agonising pain that was travelling through her ribs at that moment. She groaned as the earth shook both her body and Jades lags and it was if she could feel each of her ribs rocking back and forth unsteadily, threatening to give way.
"S-stop…" She pleaded, not to Jade but her insides. Begging them to stop they're shuddering from lank of warmth and energy. As if her prayers had been answered Jade's attack did in fact stop and with it her shaking cessed. She opened her eyes (which she had not noticed she had closed during the attack) and found that Jade was glaring daggers at a seemingly battered but strong as ever, Bruno.
Aisha didn't like the menacing look in the Elite four members eyes and she growled in warning. "Keep back, I'm warning you!!!" She yelled, steadying herself as she pushed herself to her feet, her back slightly hunched.
"Bwahahaha! Your warning ME? Bwa-bwahahaha!"
The Arcanine ears atop Aisha's head curved back against her skull in both shame and anger. She knew he was right in thinking her weak, she had just been beaten to a pulp after all, but her cocky attitude did not let her back sown so easily. "DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE ME!" She growled, reading herself for an attack.

"All I can do is be a solid defence and make sure neither of you is hurt any more than you already are. Don't get too close to him. Attack from afar until Clove and the others get here." Jade's voice broker her out of her sudden rage and she looked in bewilderment at the other morph. "Jade?"
The Tyranitar morphs purple aura pulsed and she yelled "I will protect you. GO!"
Aisha smirked and nodded. "RIGHT!"
As Aisha built up a flamethrower in the back of her throat and unleashed it upon the Elite four member, another attack descended from the heavens in the form of a Zap Cannon. The mixture of flame and electricity merged and created a massive explosion that engulfed masses of the minions but left Bruno pretty much unscathed. Aisha looked up in bewilderment in time to see Denx fall from the roof tops and join in the fight. Right on Denx tail Clove appeared and also started to unleash hell upon their enemies. A wide grin burst across the teens face "All right! Your going down!" She stated, directing a thumbs down sign towards Bruno who seemed completely enraged.

"You want my 5th move..... " Bruno said through clenched teeth as he stood up slowly. "You want the 5th move... of Elite 4 BRUNO?!?!!" he roared as he smashed pavement with his massive fists, rising to his feet. "WELL HERE IT COMES!"
The grin quickly disappeared from Aisha's face and she then realised just how week she was compared to Bruno. "F-fith move?!" She squeaked, remember how much devastation Clove's had created. An audible gulp sounded from the Arcanines throat and she crouched low, readying herself for the worst.
"CLOSE COMBAT" Bruno's voice boomed as his muscles tightened and seemingly grew. Aisha couldn't believe her eyes, all that fighting, all the pummelling they had unleashed on him and he was stronger than ever. "This…this is-unbelievable…"
Fortunately Clove stepped in before the monster had any time to proceed towards where she and Jade stood. Aisha watched with a fixed gaze as both morph's went head to head in a battle of speed and strength and Aisha could only worship the way Clove moved and blocked the massive attacks that came his way.
This is the last attack guys! Hit him with what you've got! Now!" Clove yelled.

Aisha shook her head free of her admirable thoughts and she nodded her head. "Got it!" She built up a flamethrower and unleashed a ball into her right hand and then her left hand. Unfortunantly (Or fortunantly given Aisha's current state) Jade took the lead and conjured up an earthquake, knocking the brute back a few feet. The flame died from Aisha's hands and she turned her gaze up towards Jade and with wide eyes notted that the hovering stones she had seen before were now at the Tyranitar's side. 'So thats it...Of course. Lavender means something to Jade...it's only natural she want to protect it with her life.' The young morph watched as the captain walked forward into her own conjured sandstorm and disappeared from her view. "I-Clove?!" She yelled. "Now what?!"

(OOC: gasp! he just hit a girl ;))

Ember was broken from her stupor by hand slapping across her face

"Whatever it is now is not the time," the Blaziken-Morph said darkly, having appeared beside her. He pointed at Bruno the moment Clove broke away from him and called for help. "There's the opening you need... Just make sure you use enough to blast him to pieces!"

The Blaziken-Morph released an intense Flamethrower into Bruno, but to little avail. The earth shook again, knocking the Elite off his feet. Before he could properly steady himself again, the Arcanine-Morph was up again. She sped toward him and drove her fiery claw into his face. For a moment, Ember felt a smile appear on her face. That Arcanine-Morph was a girl after her own heart. Suddenly, Ember felt the sand around her stir. She looked up to see the beginnings of a powerful sandstorm. Ember's smile turned wicked. With the cover maybe she could get close enough to plant the dynamite near Bruno.

Without a moment's hesitation, Ember bolted into the rush of the sandstorm. Sand ripped through her hair and stung her skin and Ember was forced to narrow her eyes to slits, but her sharpened eyesight still allowed her to see around her.

"Is that all you got?"

Ember turned at the sound of Buno's voice. It was coming from nearby, and Ember covered the distance in a matter of moments. The large form of Bruno was the first to come in view. He was getting to his feet.

"You have no idea," Jade said darkly. She glowed with a strange ora and rocks levitated beside her.

Ember looked down at the stick of dynamite in her hand and prayed that it would be enough. Her tails began glowing softly as they hardened and a flicker of fire formed in her chest. Ember bent her knees and lunged forward, taking care to be as silent as possible in her approach. Ember's foot disrupted a rock an she was thrown off balance. Bruno heard the sound and spun around. He glared at her and released a stream of punches too swift for Ember to even attempt to dodge. They connected with her side and stomach, throwing her backwards. Ember hit the ground with a sickening thud. Pain coursed through her body and stars passed before her sight. Ember turned her head to see that explosive stayed locked within her grasp.

"Pyra," Ember whispered hoarsely, tears filling her eyes.

Ember forced herself back up onto her feet, ignoring the blood that dripped from a gash on her cheek. Bruno looked down on her with an amused expression.

"Ah, another little friend of yours," he said with a laugh. "Tell me what it is exactly you were planning on doing? Your moves are all worthless against my own."

Ember clutched her stomach but cracked a smile. The fire started burning inside her once again.

"Hope you have fun with this," Ember laughed painfully and thrust the dynamite toward Bruno, sending a burst of flame after it.

"Run!"
 
Denx watched as the events unfolded in front of him. He was immobilized due to the excessive amounts of energy he had used. Even through his training, this much fighting was too long to be able to allow Denx to keep his energy. Suddenly, a Sandstorm was whipped up, as each member seemed to add in their own attacks. He laid there, his lungs seemed to be reaching for air. He was exhausted, and physically drained. He got up slowly, and staggered over to the side of a remaining building. If Bruno's forces weren't able to take Lavendar down, the PLF were certainly doing a good job of it. With tremors shaking on a regular basis, and morphs freely destroying buildings, Denx wasn't sure if there would be a Lavendar on the maps after this. He started to charge a Zap Cannon, which was taking longer than normal, since he was fatigued. He embraced himself from the whipping sand as he charged. But, before he was done, he heard Bruno, and he was awfully close to him.

"Tell me what it is exactly you were planning on doing? Your moves are all worthless against my own," Denx heard. Denx thought Bruno was talking to him, until he heard Ember scream "Run!" Denx shot what little Zap Cannon he had charged into the air, and took off in the opposite direction, trusting the instruction from the new teammate. He tried a Quick Attack, but it was unsuccessful. He tripped over a conveniently placed stone, and slammed down hard. He was hoping that he was a safe enough distance from whatever the reason he was told to run. He heard Bruno's evil chuckle, and a pound, but he didn't know what was going on in the depths of the sand storm.
 
"Hope you have fun with this," Ember laughed painfully and thrust the dynamite toward Bruno, sending a burst of flame after it.
"Run!"

Jade did not run.
The rocks enclosed around her, protecting her like a stone shield and pulsing with the purple aura. Her feet felt the explosion of the dynamite and when she knew it was safe, the rocks opened back up like petals and began rotating again. Through the Sandstorm there was smoke. Jade's now dark eyes watched, waiting.

As the smoke cleared, and the Sandstorm grew stronger, Bruno got to his feet. It seemed that Bruno was only getting more and more pissed off.

"I am an ELITE FOUR!" he roared. Jade was not moved by his anger. "You ALL underestimate me!!!"
Strength
A rock was hurdled towards Ember. With the flick of a wrist, one of Jade's stones was also sent toward Ember. The thrown rock collided with Jade's stone and shattered, then returned to its owner.

"You are done hurting people," said Jade. And Emerald. The Tyranitar inside was speaking again and it was only making her stronger.
"I'm just getting started, sweetheart," Bruno taunted.
"You are all words. You are weak," said Jade. She could see his hesitation. She could see his muscles quivering. True, Bruno was an Elite Four and one of the toughest Morphs they had ever gone against.
But he was up against the entire Pokemon Liberation Force.
He's screwed.

As the Sandstorm whirled around the battle more viciously, Jade could see the light leave Bruno's eyes momentarily.
He's contemplating his death Emerald whispered to her master.
Good. He better get used to the idea, Jade retorted.
The small percentage of her that was still conscious beyond her dark thoughts hoped that Clove would help her out.
The rest of her didn't care.

She bent her wrists ninety degrees, her palms facing Bruno, and pushed the mysterious stones forward.
Rock Slide
One after another they hit him. Jade screamed one word for every collision.
"You. Will. Not. Hurt. Anyone. Any. More!"
She was blind with rage. And now, Jade was completely taken over by darkness.

It was funny. No. Ironic. Months ago Jade was uncomfortable with the thought of death. Of killing. She felt bad when she first killed an enemy back in Pewter. But now?
Now, she had an Elite Four. Inches from death.
And it felt good.
Rock Slide.
From the rubble of Lavender, Jade conjured thousands of rocks, boulders, stones...
and burried Elite Four Bruno.

At first, Bruno pushed the rubble off. But this became useless as it came down on him harder and harder. The morph had been hit too much. The weight of the rubble was overwhelming.
The Machamp Morph stopped struggling.
Jade's Sandstorm ceased.
Bruno was dead.

OOC: Kansas, if you aren't okay with any of this...if it seems unrealistic, tell me. I'll change it. I just wanted this to end. -_- We're good. Let's go. =)

(OOC: Hi-ho the wicked witch is dead... Anyway, sorry this post doesn't go anywhere. You may have Ember get up and follow you and such in your posts so we don't have a ton of unnecessary ones ;) and sorry this is so... well, I don't know. But it's a necessary post for Ember.)

Finally Bruno was dead. Ember couldn't believe it. They had worked so hard to take him down... and now he died, just like that. Even the amazing Bruno couldn't survive being crushed by several tons of rock.

Ember grinned widely and looked around at the rest of the PLF members, now visible without the Sandstorm. They all looked relieved that it was over and they had accomplished what they set out to do. The people of Lavender were safe and so was their town, for the most part.

Ember's smile faded when she heard it. It wasn't what she heard so much as what she didn't. No voice scolding her for the way she fought or praising her for doing so. No Pyra. Ember realized that she couldn't even feel her warm reassuring presence flowing through her body. She was gone. Ember didn't know why or how, but she certainly wasn't there.

"Pyra!" Ember shouted, hoping to hear her voice, feel her annoyance pass at being called verbally. It didn't come. Fear set in, overwhelming her with the thought of being left alone, not knowing what to do next. Ember's body went numb with shock and dizzyness swept over her, forcing her to her knees. She stared forward, unblinking, as the quiet overwhelmed her. She looked directly at the Riachu-Morph, who appeared to think that she had been injured by his expression. The PLF members began moving, but she couldn't seem to process what they were doing or saying. She just sat there, immobilized by silence.
 
The team instantly sprang forth into action as Bruno wailed heavily. They all did their part dealing blows where they could, until Jade stepped forth. Sick of Bruno terrorizing her town. She conjured a fierce sandstorm that swirled around, blasting debris everywhere and blocking everyone's view. Everyone that is except...

"The sandstorm's caster and all rock, ground, steel, and desert dwelling Pokemon." Clove thought as his eyesight adjusted to the storm. "She must have done this to keep everyone out of her fight... so this isn't my fight anymore...thanks for the rest, Jade." Clove thought as he dissipated his aura from around him, instantly feeling the repercussions of his 5th move and dropping to a knee. He gazed at Jade as she approached Bruno through the storm. She was ready to avenge her town and proceeded to do so with incredible force until Bruno couldn't even move anymore, she had killed him. Standing over his immobile body, Jade stood heaving breaths heavily, Clove could only watch in awe. As he saw her face, fierce with anger, he flashed to a time at the PLF headquarters.

* * *

"This is your newest recruit, she'll be attacking Pewter with you and your team, Captain Wheldst." The chief boomed at a less rugged looking Clove of roughly a year ago. Standing at attention before the Commander of the PLF, Commander Brigstone, a rugged Electivire morph with thick sideburns and a heavy build. A beast of a man. He handed Clove a clip board with a profile attached to it. "We didn't find her, she came to us. Morphed with her Tyranitar... definitely an asset in both strength and defenses, top of the line in her tests, but the thing is... she's still a rookie. She's in your hands, Wheldst. I'm putting Jade on your team because she'll be safe on your squad to grow stronger and really help the PLF."

"So you want me to babysit this girl until she learns to use her powers, that doesn't seem like you, sir." Clove responded questioningly.

"She's got the ability, she just needs the focus. Just trust me."

"Focus? How so?" Clove asked quickly.

"She's... kind of a quiet girl, from Lavender. She left in the night to come here with the only goal of bringing peace. That's a good goal but I don't think she really knows what it feels to fight for the people. Field experience will help her with that I think... dangerous, but I'm going to have faith in her power to become a great asset to your team, Clove." His voice boomed back as he spoke to Clove.

"If you believe in her that much then I have no objections. I'll watch over her until she's ready, sir." Clove responded, saluting his superior as Clove snapped back to reality.

* * *

"She doesn't need my help anymore..." Clove thought as he stared at the massacre of a battleground in front of him, caused by Jade's finishing moves. He strained his muscles, standing to his feet. Clove's body was completely sore all over, as awe inspiring as Jade's finish was... there wasn't much time left. "So I used Super Power probably a total of... 3 and a half minutes... so half the max time. Next time I use it I wont be getting back up..." Clove thought again as he looked down to his shaking palms. He clenched his fist tight, turning to the group and taking charge once more.

"We need to get to Celadon, they're in trouble and I know it. Agatha didn't want this town at all, she just wanted to flush Erika out of hiding...Koga and Clair will level the city in order to kill her... Since the citizens of Lavender have been moved to safety, we'll be okay to head there right now... please guys?" Clove said, not in his usual ordering tone, but more asking. "I didn't know how it would feel when the time came... but I'm sure Jade can relate. Celadon is the world to me... Erika means the world to me... can you all help me one more time?"

Bruno was dead? Aisha's eyes were as wide as dinner plates as she watched Jade gaze over the buried body of they're former opponent. "That-was-AWESOME!" Aisha clapped excitedly, jumping on the tip of her toes slightly. "Hah hah! You totally pummelled him!" She grinned, slamming her fist into her palm to demonstrate before clutching at her injured ribs. "Ouch…little too excited, heh heh…" She giggled sheepishly. "And better yet, Lavender is safe and sound." She looked at the surrounding city and grimaced. "Could use some tidying up, but its still standing and the goons are either demolished or gone running with they're tails between they're legs." Her eyes closed in a happy smile. "You did a good job, Jade. Your town is safe…"

'I wonder if things are okay back home.' She wondered silently. 'If things are bad here, I hope to god nothings happened back in Johto and Hoenn…Then again Clair…' Her thoughts were interrupted by the voice of they're leader and her eyes snapped to his face. "We need to get to Celadon, they're in trouble and I know it. Agatha didn't want this town at all, she just wanted to flush Erika out of hiding...Koga and Clair will level the city in order to kill her... Since the citizens of Lavender have been moved to safety, we'll be okay to head there right now... please guys?" Clove said, almost pleedingly"I didn't know how it would feel when the time came... but I'm sure Jade can relate. Celadon is the world to me... Erika means the world to me... can you all help me one more time?"

Erika? Erika means the world to him? Aisha had never really spoken to Clove on friendly terms ever since her recruitment, it had always been on a sort of student-mentor terms and it wasn't that long ago anyways. He never knew Celedon and Erika meant anything to him, but now things changed for Aisha and she was bent on protecting Celedon for Clove's sake. She smiled warmly at him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "I'm with you Clove." She grinned. "All the way, y'know that and besides we know you'd do the same for us anyway." She gave his shoulder a squeeze and lowered her arm. "When I first joined, I was fighting for the Pokemon, but now I have you guy's, y'know? I know it sounds soppy but…heh heh." She rubbed the back of her head, utterly embarrassed by the whole ordeal. "Forget it! Let's get going! What's the plan Clove?!"

Glancing past the group she noticed the new girl slumping slightly in the background. Titling her head she left the gathered group and walked up to the girl that had fought along side her earlier. "Hey...you okay?" She muttered, clasping a hand around the girl's arm and giving it a shake.

Denx stood there in awe at what Jade had done. He knew she had become more powerful.. but this? He shook, and looked up at the sky, a trickle of blood leaving from a wound on the side of his forehead. He blinked a couple of times as the sandstorm died down. He looked at Ember as she fell to her knees, with a blank expression. Denx slowly made his way to her, thinking she was injured from the dynamite blast. Before he could form any word for the current time frame, Clove took the spot. Denx hadn't even noticed him there, thinking he was the one fighting Bruno, not Jade. But, the gigantic pile of boulders made what happened clear to him.

"We need to get to Celadon, they're in trouble and I know it. Agatha didn't want this town at all, she just wanted to flush Erika out of hiding...Koga and Clair will level the city in order to kill her... Since the citizens of Lavender have been moved to safety, we'll be okay to head there right now... please guys?" Clove almost seemed to plea. Denx looked over to him, but Clove seemed almost vulnerable.. somehow. Denx scanned the battlefield. It wasn't much of a town anymore. A lot of buildings down, and most still standing damaged; they were either scorched, windowless, misshapen, or any combination of the three. He started to laugh quietly at the scene, but realized there was nothing funny at all. Maybe just the irony of it all. Thinking that they would never make it past Vermillion, when they had just killed an Elite Four Member. Denx figured that they were in a pretty good position. All of the PLF weren't even involved in this, either.

Denx looked down at Ember, remembering how she had boldly lit the explosive right in front of her own face. Denx knew he wouldn't have the confidence for that, but that didn't matter now. Or, it did, he thought.

Quit lying to yourself, Denx, he thought. He looked down, at his feet, and thought of how strong they were all getting. Except himself. He looked over at Clove, and nodded at his command. So, Claire and Koga.. I've never heard of Claire, before.. I wonder who that is, Denx thought again.

Such a big city, it would be quite a shame to be off of the maps..

OOC: Ah, yes. Denx is doubting his powers, because he doesn't realize what in the world a 5th move is. He'll get it sooner or later =) And yes, I know who Claire is, Denx hasn't ever been to Johto or Sinnoh, and has barely been in Hoenn.

Jade shook her head, brought out of her dark trance. But her eyes were glued to the burried Bruno.
"That-was-AWESOME! Hah hah! You totally pummelled him!" Aisha broke the silence and grinned, slamming her fist into her palm to demonstrate before clutching at her injured ribs. "Ouch…little too excited, heh heh…" She giggled sheepishly. "And better yet, Lavender is safe and sound."

Safe and sound....

Aisha's eyes closed in a happy smile. "You did a good job, Jade. Your town is safe…"

Tears rolled down Jade's face and she fell to her knees, at the edge of the pile of rubble. They weren't sad tears. Relieved, powerful, and happy tears. Her town was safe. Lavender is safe. Did ya hear that, Emmy? We saved Lavender!

When Clove approached her, she stood up again. His face seemed to glow with pride. Jade looked around at the mess she had made and hung her head slightly. Everyone gathered together and their leader spoke.
"We need to get to Celadon, they're in trouble and I know it. Agatha didn't want this town at all, she just wanted to flush Erika out of hiding...Koga and Clair will level the city in order to kill her... " Jade blinked several times but said nothing.
"Since the citizens of Lavender have been moved to safety, we'll be okay to head there right now... please guys?" Jade raised an eyebrow. Clove was...asking them for assistance? This wasn't like him at all.
"I didn't know how it would feel when the time came... but I'm sure Jade can relate. Celadon is the world to me... Erika means the world to me... can you all help me one more time?" he asked.
He asked.

At first Jade was speechless but it was true what he said. She could relate.
Erika means the world to me...
She had never seen this side of Clove before.
"You know I'm with you all the way Clove," she managed a smile. She didn't realize how heavy she had been breathing until she spoke. "You went against Headquarters to help me save what's most important to me. The least I can do is return the favor. You can count on me," her grin took up most of her face.

For the first time since morphing Jade was a hundred percent confident about the future. Maybe it was the rush of killing Elite Four Bruno. Maybe it was unleashing her 5th move...Stealth Rock, she laughed at herself for not realizing what it was right away.
Whatever it was, she had just jumped a huge hurdle in life. She could feel the awe struck looks of all of her teammates. No matter the hurdle, the Tyranitar morph felt her face heat up. No green skin could hide the pink tint now rising from her neck to her cheek bones.
"So, uh, when we headin' out?" she asked, brushing off the left over rubble from her clothes and walking away from town she loved.
The town she saved.
