The Elite Four Strikes

An unsettling calm hung over the streets of Union, a chilly, early morning fog settling in. The words of their newest visitors were unwelcome, and when word spread that the two would be leaving at sunrise, the people were grateful, if not a bit apprehensive. The Elite Four, their Champion, and the whole of Ever Grande—their radical ideologies were not only off-putting, but their methodology was more than a bit off-putting. They would need to be watched, closely.

In the early hours of the morning, warp bands around Union buzzed with life, a gentle light spilling from the devices. “Hello again, friends.”

It was her.

Her voice rang clear, and while her face wasn’t present, one could hear the smile in her voice. “I hope I didn’t wake any of you up. I wanted to thank you all for being so hospitable to Alina and myself, at least initially. But talk about the Union chill. Normally I like a little cold, but this is a bit much.

“When we first heard about Union, we were excited. Finally, we had found a worthy ally for our cause. So you can imagine our... disappointment, when we saw your true colors. You’re nothing but cowards! And here I thought, a city championing for peace, who were blessed by the Gods themselves, willing to live alongside pokémon without subjugating them to your will, would be able to understand the world that we wish to create. Instead, you hide behind your wall, hide behind others, and assume that by ‘defending yourself’ or those you deem unable or unfit to fight that you’ve somehow absolved yourself from guilt.”

Her voice grew cold, turning deep; “People like that make me sick.”

“Divinity is wasted on you, to be quite honest.” Her voice bounced again, chipper and clear. “If you can’t walk alongside us, then you’ll only serve as stepping stones toward a peaceful tomorrow. Union, like Glacier and so many other settlements before it, will serve as an example to those who wish to defy the will of the Gods. The pit of humanity needs to learn its place, crawling on its belly in fear from the true inheritors of the earth. We lay ourselves prostrate to their glory!

“Union believes that they’re able to decide what is right and what is just, but I disagree. I bring to you, the divine word of the Gods themselves! Listen well, people of Union, and all others! This is the world we seek to create, our perfect vision of peace! Hear me, O Great One, and come to my aid. Strike down these heretics where they stand!”

BMG: Gates to Infinity: Clash with Kyurem!

Answering Sveta’s call, a great dragon bearing the frost of the deepest winter appeared in the center of the city. With a roar of power, it’s unearthly presence sent waves of fear in the souls of even the bravest citizens of Union. Opening it’s vicious maw, it unleashed an enormous roar, a battle cry of deafening proportions, a Hyper Voice attack! While the sound was ear splitting to all who dwelt within Union, its power was focused. The great Signal Tower, a beacon of Union technology and innovation, began to crack heavily. Jagged scars appeared as chunks of stone fell unbidden from the tower. It still stood—but against such an assault, not for much longer. The force of the blast sent cracks sprawling through nearby towers as panicked shrieks began to echo throughout the city, a chorus of terror at the power of the god before them.

But in that moment, the humans were not alone. Two high-pitched cries met the titanic roar as twin dragons flew to Union’s aid, spiraling around the mighty ice dragon and attacking with twin Dragon Breath attacks. Once again, the great hounds and birds, as well as the Lady of the Moon and the Lord of Nightmares, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Entei, Raikou, Suicune, Cresselia and Darkrai stood at Union’s side, unleashing their own attacks. The people of Union felt the blessings of the gods with them. Here they would have to stand and fight—drive back the invaders and save their fair city!

[OOC: With the damage to the signal tower, Warp Band communication is offline and Pokemon cannot be summoned - thankfully the habitat is close and your Pokemon allies will come to your aid as the logs begin]

They wanted to make a point when they thought the city was most vulnerable. You can't find a coat?
niepokonany: (Seemed like the thing to do)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2016-01-21 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
I mean yeah, I could, I did, but it's just on over my nightgown, so it's still kinda cold? It's not like I had time to get really dressed!
wise_maiden: (why are you lecturing me)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2016-01-21 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Did your home get badly damaged?
niepokonany: (I realize certain words were exchanged)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2016-01-21 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Not too bad, I think? But it's on top of a tower, and there was defs some shaking, so we kinda bailed before waiting around to see how bad it was.
wise_maiden: (can you tell me where i am)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2016-01-21 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Fair enough. I wouldn't recommend remaining in an area with any noticeable instability.
niepokonany: (to the psychotic lowlife community)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2016-01-21 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
There's other places we can stay for a while if it needs fixing up, anyway? But that's not important right now!
wise_maiden: (always looking out)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2016-01-21 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it isn't. We need to sort out the priorities of the situation.
niepokonany: (Too late for second guessing)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2016-01-21 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that part's easy, at least.
wise_maiden: (in this house of leaves we'll pray)

[personal profile] wise_maiden 2016-01-21 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Just be careful, wherever you end up.
niepokonany: (Coming out of my cage)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2016-01-23 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
I'll come back in one piece.

["Careful" is a bit much to ask of him.]
