Mainframe Room - PEFE-That-Was

-Weakly-

<Teala: "Ungh... Maekrite... We're in trouble...">

-And hands off her (now-rather battered) Portal gun-

<Teala: "I don't know if there's anything we can do... But we need to get out of here... Shoot this once at someplace close... And once at the furthest thing that you can see from here...">

Cobalt: -Uses Gravity in conjunction with Bohr to keep us from getting sucked in...but not in time for Pica, Helios and myself-

All: AHHHHHH!!!

The Moon

Helios: This moon isn't made out of cheese...

Pica: -Is trying to rocket back through the portal-

Mainframe Room

-the sudden portal to vacuum creates a massive suction in the center of the room-

Cornn: AGG! -sucked through, to the lunar surface, connections starting to crack-

Moon

SPACE! We're in space!

Space Core: SPAAAACE! -detatches self to roam Earth-Moon neighborhood-

Captured!Ivysaur: GULP! -holds on extra tight to the chassis-

Pokédex Core: Space has no native Pokémon.

Moon!Ampharos: You disturb my peaceful walk then say I don't exist?!

Mainframe Room

Lua, Rosary, and Rufus: HELP! -get sucked in-

Tangent, Basket, and Cephas: -panicked- GUYS!

A moon Ampharos...tell me I'm dreaming.

Pica: -Sarcastically- You're dreaming.

Helios: -To Algira- Yeah, there's nothing here but moon rocks and dust.

-Spots the ropes-

Guys, the ropes!

-I grab Pica while Helios grabs me and we're all pulled in-

PEFE-B Mainframe

Maekrite sees Teala lose her grip and get sucked by the Portal. This causes him to lose his focus, and this he also loses his grip when he is suddenly hit by a random object let loose by the pressure, and is flung to the air, quickly being sucked by the portal.

Silentran♂ -tied to a wire: <Oh noes! Grab the rope!>

The Moon

Maekrite pops out of the portal and finds himself surrounded by mostly nothingness, then some random mons who were sucked in too, and as he realizes as he swirls around without control, an entire world of Moon Stone...

Maekrite: «N-no... don't go there... don't go there...» -- flails aimlessly -- «Inlé I've been a good servant... I beg you, please don't take my other future out from me...»

The Moon

Maekrite listens to something nearby and manages to turn around to see [Teala] also floating lost in space. He stops flailing and looks at her for a moment.

Maekrite: <W-we need to get out of here, Teala. Please~>

He realizes the ropes are somewhat close to his position, since he was thrown through the portal very recently. Gathering up some courage he decides to try and wade in space to reach them, while also praying to Fritrah (and to Nix, she technically holds the position) to not float past the ropes and into the Moon.

After a moment Maekrite manages to catch one of the ropes, then decides to impulse himself towards Teala's direction by using a Sludge Bomb. Albeit with a very slow movement, he eventually manages to catch up with her and cling to her arm.

The Earth

With the portal to the Moon closed and everymon safe, if quite tired, Maekrite goes nuzzle Silentran♂ first and lick him all over to check that he is OK. Besides some minor bruises and a certain level of annoyance at "the wonders of C# programming", the Nidoran is OK.

Maekrite -to Teala: <Not that I wanted to ouch be suck in there… but I would not leouch ave you behind.> -- shakes head -- <Couldn't let myseouch lf fall when the mons I care about are onouch  the line...>

Hugs back, not really minding the rough skin of the Druddigon any much.

Earth - Under the Sky and the Moon

-A certain Ivysaur, dirty, tired, and reeking of the various events of a prolonged goose chase for a certain Marowak club finally begins to relax its grip on Cornn's now-coreless chassis-

<Captured!Ivysaur: @_@ "U-Urgh... If I'm not dead... Someone wake me up whenever it's light again...">

-And flops hard against the concrete, the club falling into its plant, not bothering to pick itself up-

<"... I think that I'm going to get behind that one too...">

<Lake: "Ugh... Same here...">

-And we begin retiring for the night in the remains of the Mainframe Room-

-Hunkering down in a place to sleep that isn't coated in Conversion Gel, and being approached by a certain Druddigon-

<Maekrite: "... Shouldn't you be getting some rest, Teala? You look worse than some kits who run into homba right now...">

<Silent: "Yeah, you seem... Haggard... To say the least...">

-To Maekrite-

<Teala: "Well... You don't like conversion gel for some reason... Is it really made out of Moon Stone? I figure that if I slept nearby, I could keep you from accidentally rolling onto a place with it...">

<Basket: "Same here...">

-A certain Tropius also draws near-

<Maekrite: "... Basket? What is the-?">

<Basket: "We're friends... If you really felt that uncomfortable about the gel... I can help out with that too.">

<Maekrite: "... Thank you.">

-And Maekrite hunkers down to sleep, Silent nestling up against him... Teala curling up beside him to form a barrier from the portions of the ground covered in conversion gel... Basket doing likewise and drooping her wings over the others to form a canopy-

<Teala: "... Goodnight, everyone...">

Mainframe Room, last night

A certain Flygon collapses on the floor

Spectrum: <We... we did it... Finally...>

And she falls asleep, which ends up dragging her back to her own thread temporarily...

Mainframe Room - The next day...

After the sheer chaos of last night, Lake had pretty much just fallen asleep on the spot, not caring that the mainframe floor wasn't providing the most comfortable place to sleep. He had dozed for a few hours, only to be awakened by an odd warm feeling on his scales.

Opening his eyes, he squinted at a bright light streaming down from the celling. His first reaction was to quickly sit up, worrying that the still alive PEFEDoS might have sprung a trap to try and kill them...

...Before realizing that it was merely the early morning sun shining down on him from the hole in the dome far above that, the night before, Maekrite and Silent had fired that fateful shot at the moon.

He sat there for a few moments, gazing up (but not directly at!) the large ball of gas framed by a crisp blue sky fleck with wisps of clouds. He let the warmth wash over him, providing him with heat that his reptilian body simply couldn't produce by itself.

It seemed like it had been forever since he had been able to simply bask in the sun light this, when in actuality, it had only been a few days since they had been dragged back into the PEFE to run a gauntlet of "tests" for a malevolent, if moronic, A.I, completely cut off from the outside world.

Even before that, though, it seemed that if he had spent a long time our of the sun recently. He remembered how, back in Kanto, they had spent several days traveling underground to find those parts for that iPhodex, or spending that night in the Lavander Tower, only to travel through the darkness of the Rock Tunnel the next day to escort those Cubone to the Route 9 tribe.

All that time spent in the dark had really made him appreciate the sunlight so much more than he had before.

Smiling to himself, the Feraligatr moved so that he was directly under the hole where he could get the most sunlight, and laid down on the floor, letting out a content sigh as the light gently warmed his scales. He knew there was still work to be done...

...Which was why he was going to make appreciate the sunlight while he could.

Mainframe Room

Helios: Tagg?

Yes Helios?

Helios: Audilith says hi! :3

Why didn't you tell me this last night?

Helios: ...Because we were fighting that Cornn guy?

Oh right...

Mainframe Room

Ammy: Not again...

Styx: Don't tell me we have to take down this one too...
