Re: PEFE-B: The Part Where He Kills Us

Hearing the whirring of machinery behind him, Lake glanced up to see what was going on...only to see a certain other A.I now back in the mainframe, and a whole bunch of targeting lasers being pointed at them.

Lake: O_O <Uh-oh...>

Pulling himself up, Lake considered his options. Attack? Run? Use Protect or Bubble Shield to tank the shots? What about everymon else? he was wasting precious seconds he-

???: <AAAAHHHHHH! STOP SHOOTING AT ME!!!>

Lake: <Huh?>

It was at that point that the door was broken down by a certain other Feraligatr decked out in a suit of armour, having braved a hail of gunfire to reach the mainframe chamber.

Toothy: <YES! I'm alive! I'm...>

Only to notice more turrets aiming at him, as well as a certain murderous A.I.

<...I'm dead...>

Re: PEFE-B: The Part Where He Kills Us

Between the noise and everything else, Maekrite and Silentran♂ wake up as well. The Nidoran♂ peeks up from under Maekrite's chin and watches as PEFeDOS takes over and gets ready to take over.

Maekrite frowns, is about to comment something when he suddenly yells, swings his leg to see Silentran♂ has bit him and is now staring up with a somewhat angry face.

Silentran♂: <Told you we should have gone for the terminals…>

Thou hast forgotten the face of thy Lord. Remember, mortal, and fear pet me.

PEFeDOS: "OH, YOU BROUGHT A FRIEND... AND SHALL WE FIND OUT, SWAMPERT? I DO HAVE OTHER WAYS OF PUTTING YOU DOWN-"

<Nadia: "And stay down! HEY, computer!">

PEFeDOS: "... WHAT?"

<Nadia: "I want my mate ba- Wait a minute... Lake? What are you doing here-?! Whatever! You're still going down!">

<Bottles: "I wonder how many notes we'll get for smashing you up!">

-Sparking-

<Shaun: "No one puts my friends in danger without me doing something about it!">

-And dozens of other rather disgruntled looking locals in loaner armor from Bladeshore appear from the ledges-

PEFeDOS: "OH, YOU ARE KIDDING ME..."

<Eir: "I didn't know that things other than Pokemon could feel fear... I think that I kinda like it...">

Re: PEFE-B: The Part Where He Kills Us

Now that pretty much all of his friends (as well as what looked like the entire Bladeshore militia) had show up to help, Lake felt a bit more confident.

It was also at this point that a certain Dragonite decided to finally wake up, letting out a large yawn as he did so.

Stratus: <Morning...>

He blinks, then looks around, noticing both sides staring each other down.

<...Are you guys in the middle of something?!>

???: <GANGWAY!!!>

A certain Walrein from Bladeshore bursts past Toothy, seemingly itchy for a battle having dodge the same turrets outside.

Bladeshore!Walrein: <THIS IS THE BEST LIVE-FIRE EXERCISE EVER! I'VE NEVER FELT SO ALIVE!!!>

PEFeDOS: "YOU WIN."

Re: PEFE-B: The Part Where He Kills Us

Just as Lake, Stratus and Toothy were getting ready to fight...PEFEDoS stated that she "quit" and shut the turrets off, which happily meant that nobody was going to get shredded by a hail of gunfire anytime soon.

That still left them rather confused, though.

Stratus: <Huh?>

Toothy: <...Does that mean we win?>

Lake: <No way, I'm not buying this! It's gotta' be a bluff of some kind!>

Bladeshore!Walrein: <I don't care if it's a bluff or not! LET'S SHOOT HER ALREADY!!!>

PEFeDOS: "IT'S BEEN FUN. YOU'RE NOT INVITED OVER."

-And is detached from her housing, and brought to the elevator by the two... Which descends out of view-

<"... Wait, did she just say 'lunar facility' earlier?">

Re: PEFE-B: The Part Where He Kills Us

The two Feraligatr and the Dragonite stare blankly, having not expected PEFEDoS to just...give up so easily.

Bladeshore!Walrein: <...Are you KIDDING ME?! I was all hyped for an epic battle and the mad computer just chickens out!>

Turning away, the Sea-Lion Pokémon begins to drag himself out of the room.

<Nuts to this! I'm going to take a dip in the sea...>

As he leaves the room, Toothy considers following him. After what he had just been through, a relaxing swim sounded very inviting.

Lake: <Hey!>

Only to have a certain other Feraligatr take notice of him, quickly hurrying over to give him a curious look.

Toothy: <Er...hi?>

Much to Toothy's surprise, the Feraligatr steps back in shock upon hearing his voice, having taken a closer look at him.

<Huh? What's wro->

Lake: <LUKE! When did you get here?!>

Confused, Toothy blinks, wondering why he was calling him that.

Toothy: <...Who?>

The other Feraligatr tilts his head, confused.

Lake: <Er...it's me? Lake?>

Toothy: <Lake?>

He pauses.

<...Why does that name sound so familiar- OH!>

Much to Lake's surprise, the strange Feraligatr reaches into his hammerspace...and pulls out a package of some sort, offering it to him earnestly.

<Lake! Happy Birthday!>

There was a long pause as Lake stared, jaw agape, at the Feraligatr and his package, before finally saying something...

Lake: <...You lost your memory again, didn't you?>

The Feraligatr blinks, then frowns angrily.

Toothy Luke: <Hey! It's not my fault this keeps happening!>

-And the turrets begin to harmonize... Producing this-

Maekrite meanwhile sits quizzically, not knowing if to enjoy the music or to be worried about something. He is also a bit annoyed that Algira has started following the music with faint, but still audible, buzzes of her own.

Re: PEFE-B: The Part Where He Kills Us

Lake: <Wait...>

Lake blinks in shock.

<...You remembered my Birthday?>

Luke: <Of course! How could I forget about something so important? I just...didn't celebrate it because I thought you were still looking for Tempest in the Orange Islands. But that didn't stopping me buying you something, at least. I was going to give it to you when you got back, but...well, this happened.>

He gives Lake an eager look.

<But we'll talk about that later. Go on, open it! You'll love it, I'm sure.>

Lake: <Alright then...>

Taking the package, Lake slits the wrapping paper, then pulls out a box depicting a rather large flipped-screen device with blue casing to match his scales. Curiously, Lake reads the box itself.

<It's a..."Nintendo 3DS XL"? Oh! This is one of those game consoles, isn't it?>

Luke: <Yeah, it's the latest model. I thought it would be better than getting you a regular one because you might have trouble holding it with your larger hands, so this version is perfect for you, really.

Anyway...I brought it for you because, well, I remembered how you used to like watching me play video games back when you were just a Totodile when we lived at home. So I thought you would like having your own console to play with when you're bored...

...Do you like it?>

Lake: <...Or course I do...>

He gives Luke the biggest hug he can muster.

<Thanks, Luke.>

Luke: <Aww, anytime, buddy. Now, er...would you mind explaining a few things to me?>

Lake breaks off the hug, giving him a quizzical look.

Lake: <Oh?>

Luke: <Well, firstly, why did that Skarmory over there just faint?>

He points a finger at the unconscious Skye.

<And why are we at the PEFE, yet everyone, including me, are still Pokémon?>

Lake: <...Oh, well...>

The Feraligatr rubs the back of his head awkwardly.

<...You might want to sit down for this...>
