Descent

Iron Mines:
The trip to the eastern mountains is punctuated by the continuing aftershocks. After each one, it may be tempting to glance back at Union to see if any of the towers have fallen yet. The expedition parties move with incredible speed, knowing that the fate of their City hangs on the line.

When they reach the mountains, guided by the coordinates given of the 'strange radio signal', the parties will find that many of the normal entrances and routes have been blocked by cave-ins. In contrast, however, a gaping hole has opened up where none existed before. As this seems to be the easiest way to gain access, the parties slowly lower themselves in...

They will find themselves in the long-sought iron mines.

But there are so many twisting turns and tunnels, it will be impossible to stay together and make any sort of progress. Each group will have to take their own paths from here...

Old City:
Each of the twelve entrances down into the Old City take a different meandering route through the ruins. Though several are blocked off by this time, there are still many potential paths to take. The state of the Old City is poor, being underground as it is, and occasional soft rumblings are certain to cause unease. As the report states, however, there is enough of an interval between quakes that it should be possible to investigate safely.

It would be unwise to venture down alone, but it is impossible, too, for everyone to stay together if they wish to make headway.

Union:
The wild Pokémon continue to come out of the Old City, though the frequency has been somewhat lessened. Rubble lines the streets and though no towers have collapsed as of yet, some seem to be dangerously close and certainly nobody should be staying inside of them. As stated, the towers in Sector 3 are the worse off and construction crews work frantically to attempt to restabilize the foundations of these buildings.

The injured are innumerable, the number of casualties is as of yet unknown, and the chaos and panic is difficult to fend off.

There is a great deal of work to be done.

((Please post below with your groups - in the first comment, please note the members of your group, where you are, and whether or not you intend to keep a threading order. Regardless of threading order, mods will be responding at least once every 24 hours to keep the event moving. Groups should be three to four people in size.

At this time, all characters entering the iron mines will be able to choose to bond with a free extra Pokemon listed under 'Cavern' in the Map and Wild Pokemon post. Please respond there if you intend to make use of this. Characters who have already claimed a free Old City Pokemon may not do so.))

[Something is very wrong here. The Tyrantrum is acting like it's sick, or possessed. Maybe it can be reasoned with? Not that Eren is usually known for being reasonable... But it worked with the Steelix couple, didn't it? But Bug is in danger! And Eren is too far away--!]

{Ack! The Venipede!!}

[Victor is much closer. But his little legs are too stubby! Not for long, though. Victor isn't gonna sit and watch that bug get eaten. He runs as fast as he can, starting to glow brightly. As he runs, he starts to change shape, and Victor has evolved into Lombre! Now armed with proper... arms... and legs, Victor swoops in and grabs Bug. {PINK BIRD! I've got your bug!! Help Eren, he's too much of a dumbass for his plan to work!}]

[Because Eren is standing between the Tyrantrum and Gertrude, flaring his wings to make himself look as big as possible]

{Hey!! Cut it out, ok? We're gonna stop that really annoying noise! But if you keep trying to hurt us, I won't have mercy!}

[ As far as heavy stones go, Jean comes back with a pretty big one, holding it above his head. While all the crazy stuff is happening around them, he's trying his best to just stick to the plan. This would work. Should work. Hopefully. ]

Alright, move outta the way, I'm gonna drop this!

[ It's no rock smash, but it should be something. ]

[Look around, Eren...at all these big-ass rocks. Also all these loud-as-fuq Pokemon who are hopefully disorienting the murderous one enough that it doesn't succeed in killing anyone?

At any rate, Armin grabs at Blitz and Apollo and Meredith and Klefki and pulls a mother hen, keeping himself between all these little Pokedudes and the (hopefully breaking) machine.
]

Hit it again! Harder, Jean!

[Lombre you're gonna get something for your troubles later. His rescue of Bug doesn't stop Levi from his dive in to save him, hitting the Tyrantrum with a hard Pursuit in revenge for his Pokemon buddy. He knows it won't do as much as a regular attack, but the only other thing he has is Wing Attack and it's weak against Tyrantrum... As far as he remembers, anyway.]

[
Yeah you stupid fuck! Don't just attack people!]

[Levi is the best Pokemon Ranger ever. He spins back from the attack to try and doge anything Tyrantrum hits him with in retaliation, gliding down somewhere near Eren.]

[
Calm down!]

[Eren narrows his eyes, shifting back to human form just to put the terrible sound out of his head. But he has his swords out, wary and ready for the Tyrantrum if it gets back up]

{Just stay down for a second, you brute. We're working on it!} [Eren turns, briefly] Hurry it up back there!

[Immediate danger seemingly gone for the moment, Victor places Bug back down on the ground, warning him not to go too far.

Blitz, meanwhile, growls angrily at Jean and the machine. Can't that dumb birdbrain do anything right? Sadly, his Swift attack doesn't seem to do anything to hurt the machine, the star-shaped rays bouncing off harmlessly. So instead, he leaps up on Jean's shoulder and uses Helping Hand!
] "Veevee!!" [with increased attack power, maybe you can break this terrible noisemaker!]

Hey, don't bully that thing!

[ Yeah, leave it to Jean to side against Eren, even when it's against a giant shiny dinosaur. He keeps slamming the rock down, harder, hoping it'll do the trick-- At least he seems to be making progress. Sure, his arms are getting kinda tired, but he has to keep going. He knows that much. ]

Damn, just what the hell are these things made of?!

Jean. [There are more important things here, so have Armin coming in to pry at the broken bits of the machine rather than smashingit, as his arm strength is about negative 17. Still, he's going to help however he can.] Hit it in the same place, over and over, all right? And focus, please.

[Meredith is attempting to help Gertrude out, tossing Confusion at the Tyrantrum. Recovering a little from being chomped, the Steelix is at it again, this time with a Rage attack.]

Don't... Fuck, don't confuse it! It could bring the fucking ceiling in on us!

[Groan, Levi's life is suffering. He flutters up onto Eren's shoulders for leverage up to the Tyrantrum, attacking him with an Astonish, hoping to make him flinch before he does anything horrible to his surroundings. There's only a 30% chance, but...]

Get back!

[Ugh, Pokémon, why do you have to be so pathetic? Eren wants to just hate this damn blue dinosaur, but since he knows exactly what's driving it out of it's gourd, he can't feel too bad. Maybe it's not normally like this? Eren turns to Levi and the other Pokémon attacking, holding up his hand]

Ok, cut it out, guys! {Cut it out!} It's not attacking anymore, no need to kill it. If it decides to mess with us after we take out the machine, then all bets are off.

[Eren, defending a Pokémon? Well, stranger things have happened. Eren approaches it, carefully, placing a hand on its snout. He glares a little] {Stay where you are. If you behave yourself after the machine is broken, I'll help you with your wounds. No more of this trying to eat us!}

[Victor hightails it over, grabbing his own rock in the process. He has decided he really likes having proper arms. Following Jean's lead, he beats the machine mercilessly with the rock]
sturzflug: (fuuuuuuuck)

[personal profile] sturzflug 2014-02-02 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
We're gonna have to get this guy some medical attention, you assholes!

[ 'Told you not to bully it,' Jean mutters. He wants to shout "I told you so" for good measure, but focusing on the machine is more important. The sparks look... worrisome, actually. He gives it a couple more whacks then backs off. ]

Okay, uh, this thing is either gonna explode or something, and I don't wanna be near it when it does.

[ Jean tosses the rock at the machine from afar, yeah-- okay, he's being extra careful and kind of a coward, but that's a helluva lot better than getting caught when that thing blows. ]

[Oops, there's a Pokemon in distress now, so Armin's going to back away from the fizzing sparking dangerous-looking machine, leaving Victor -- hey, Victor has arms! -- and Jean to deal with it. He scoops up Meredith, coming over to the not-so-formidable Pokemon and adding quiet waves of soothing to the little Ralts's cooing.]

Everyone stay away from that machine. I think it's going to explode.
springcleaning: (FUCK!)

[personal profile] springcleaning 2014-02-03 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Explode? Shit! It'd be easier if one of your could just knock one of the rocks down onto it. The huge ones up there!

[Levi, regrettably, is far too tiny. His attacks wouldn't reach. What he does do is stay on Eren's shoulder like an asshole and give a nod at Bug to stop attacking the poor thing.]

[
We'll get you some potions or berries or some shit when this is over, so just calm down you hear me?]
stahlflugel: (002)

[personal profile] stahlflugel 2014-02-04 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Yep, that sure isn't a good sound. Blitz wastes no time and flees the cave completely, heading back to the antechamber. Victor runs back to Eren and jumps on his back, grabbing on to his shoulders and insisting they leave. Like, five minutes ago.

Eren bites his lower lip, looking at the Tyrantrum and then back at the machine
]

{Tch... I have half a mind to leave your scaly ass here for attacking us.} [but that's cruel even for Eren. He taps a button on his Warp band and hits Tyrantrum with the beam] {I'm going to warp you to Union and we'll get proper medical attention for you there. Now bond with me so it'll work or you'll explode with the machine!} [Rude even when saving someone... Eren. And that noise coming from the machine is getting more terrible and erratic and Eren gives the pokémon an insistent look]
stahlflugel: (015)

[personal profile] stahlflugel 2014-02-04 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
{Oh yeah, that's really mature, you two-finger weirdo.} [Because Eren is one to talk. This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Really!! Eren quickly sends the Pokémon back to Union using the warp band]

No let's go!! [AND NOW WE'RE RUNNING]

[Levi wonders why Eren hasn't noticed him perching on him yet, you know besides the obvious Tyrantrum debacle and the exploding machine. He finally flaps off of him when Tyrantrum tells him to fuck off and the Ranger can't help but laugh at the Guard.]

He fuckin' told you! Didn't he? Fucking hilarious, you stupid brat.

[He can barely stop laughing long enough to transform back, gather Bug up under his arm, and run out with the rest of them.]
