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]

I really want to punch that smug bitch in the face.

[Maka's not aware her thoughts are broadcasting but there's a load of unrestrained fury in there, not just the cursing. Congratulations, it's now been discovered that Maka is actually a lot more violent than she originally comes off.]

Who the hell is she to call us cowards when we welcomed her and her pretentious "Elite Four" crap.

You just said what a lot of us are thinking, I'm pretty sure.

[Hello Maka. Honoka is also pretty new to the openly incandescent rage group.]

[Ah, there's telepathy going on.

Screw it, it needed to be said.]


There's nothing worse than an inconsiderate guest that starts destroying things. Well, for right now we should concentrate on making sure everyone's safe and taking down that so-called "god" before punching her in the face.

[Right, there's the logic coming back over the "horrifically furious" reaction.]

But punching her in the face is definitely on the list of priorities. I'm with you on that one. For the time being we should assess the damage and treat anyone who's been hurt.

[She appreciates this, though. She was startled by her own anger over the situation and seeing someone else-- er, hearing --feel similarly is pleasantly validating. Seeing as most of what she'd been hearing were reactions of alarm and concern as opposed to anger at Sveta specifically.]

I agree, I really don't think this was any way to present herself like this.

I just wish she didn't have to go to such extremes to make her point.
heartandsoul: ([Unsure] It began with a letter)

Unfortunately, this isn't Salvation and we're out of wishes, so all we can do is help the gods protect Union from her and that thing. Whatever it is.

...Something about it reminds me of Reshiram, don't you think?

[personal profile] windyflower 2016-01-22 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, now that I think about it?

It kind of does. I wonder does that mean if it is possible to defeat the dragon the same way we defeated Reshiram. Is it possible to find a weak spot on it?
niepokonany: (Gotta gotta be down)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2016-01-21 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever. Who cares what she thinks?

She's about to see just how cowardly we are.


[...He didn't mean to project that last part, but whatever, it's out there now!]

Right! We're going to kick her ass right out of here.

And just for the record, whoever
does get the privilege of punching her should get a freaking statue in their honor.
niepokonany: (I'm so smart)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2016-01-21 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
That's the kind of talk I like to hear!

Also, that sounds like the best. I will totally, 100%, personally fund the making of a statue for anyone and everyone who gets a good punch in on that bitch.
