Nazz: I can go too!
Styx: Toothless, can you keep a eye on her? I mean, Treecko are good climbers, but still...
-Has been wandering through some paths revealed through use of some of my old hacking tools for the past couple days, presumably with Tangent and co-
Muddy: Tagg, I think we're lost.
Muddy, we're not lost, this path is just long.
<Toothless: "Yeah. I'd be glad to.">
-Lardna squeezes off an orange portal at the wall before giving the gun to Toothless-
<Lardna: "Press the right one when you find someplace up there.">
<Toothless: "Alright, when you see the stuff through the hole change, it means we found something, alright? Hup!">
-And flies up to the inviting space... And walks into what would appear to be a greatly aged reception area with the remains of carpeting, lighting, and cushions-
-A recorded message starts playing-
<AU!Tangent: "As we have a lot of work ahead of us these next few years, we can't supervise every project personally. These prerecorded messages will be guiding you along and responding to any incidents that may occur during your rebuilding adventure!">
<Riana: "Ooh... Looks soft...">
-Going up to inspect a picture of a vibrant, confident-looking Tropius in spring growth and colors-
<AU!Tangent: "Your rebuilding assignment will vary, depending upon the manner in which you are best suited at bending the world to your will. Those of you helping us to repair the repulsion gel tubes today, just follow the blue line on the floor.">
<Toothless: "Hmm... Nice portrait...">
-And notices an elevator shaft that we saw while coming from the hatch-
<Toothless: "Wonder what that's for...">
<AU!Tangent: "Those of you who volunteered to help rebuild the Scyther habitat, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that we're postponing the reconstruction indefinitely. Good news is that we have a much better task for you: Socializing a hive of displaced Scyther with the rest of the laboratory. Pick up some protective gear and follow the yellow line. You'll know when the task starts.">
<Riana: "Scyther? Like Rosary?">
<Toothless: "... (That was good news?)">
Adapting to Lake and Stratus having learned how to counter his Aura Sphere attack, the holographic Mewtwo disappears in a flash of light...
Mewtwo used Teleport!
Stratus: <Huh?>
Lake: <Where did h- AAAAHHHHHHH!!!>
The Feraligatr feels an invisible force slam into him hard, sending him flying through the air and into the back wall of the arena with such speed that he ends up embedded in a hole in the wall!
Mewtwo used Psystrike!
<...Ow.>
Stratus: <LAKE!!!>
Wondering what had just happened, the Dragonite looks around frantically for the source of the attack, soon spotting the holographic Mewtwo hovering near the ceiling in the center of the arena, it's eyes glowing blue with psychic energy.
It didn't take Stratus long to figure out what had just happened. Clenching his paws, the dragon snorts angrily.
<You...YOU MEANIE! I'm gonna' make you pay for hurting my friend like th- WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!>
Like Lake before him, Stratus finds himself struck by an invisible force, sending him flying into the wall, conveniently ending up right next to Lake.
<OW. Owowow...>
Lake: <You okay?>
Stratus: <I feel like a train hit me. What about you?>
Lake: <Pretty much the sa- WHOA!>
Gravity takes affect, and two fall out of the holes, landing hard on the arena floor.
Both: <Ow.>
With some effort, the two pull themselves up. Although they still had a bit of fight left in them, the damage they had taken was beginning to add up.
Lake: <I can't keep this up for much longer. We need to hurry up and beat this guy already. But how?>
Stratus: <Hmm...>
The Dragonite recalls how Mewtwo had been able to block his Dragon Pulse, but had been unable to do anything about Lake's Bubblebeam at the same time, which gave him an idea.
<I think he can only use his telekinesis on one thing at once. So if one of us distracts him...>
Lake: <Then that leaves him open for the other to attack! Brilliant, Stratus!>
The Feraligatr drops to all fours, raring to go.
<Alright, I'll keep him busy, you stay at a distance and buff yourself up, then move it to attack, okay?>
Stratus: <Got it!>
With that, he rushes into combat range as Stratus preforms some rhythmic movements to increase his Attack and Speed.
Stratus used Dragon Dance x2!
Stratus' Attack and Speed sharply rose!
Noticing this, the Mewtwo's eyes glow softly for a split second as it analyses Stratus stat changes...
Mewtwo used Psych Up!
...before turning it's attention back to the Feraligatr bearing down on him. Bearing his fangs, Lake lunges at the Psychic type to bite at him...
...But the Hologram somehow outspeeds him, forming a blade of Psychic energy on it's arm, then dashing past the Feraligatr, delivering a furious slash.
Mewtwo used Psycho Cutter!
A Critical hit!
Stratus, who had just been preparing to rush in with a Dragon Claw attack as Lake comest to a stop, stumbles...then collapses on the spot.
Lake Fainted!
Nazz: This place looks like fun to explore! And what's a Scyther?
-Explaining to Nazz-
<Riana: "A Scyther is a green bug that is this big!">
-Stretching her wings out as much as she can-
<Riana: "And they have sharp, pointy things for arms!">
-Flying across a gap in the catwalk leading to the elevator, presumably helping Nazz across-
<Toothless: "... Why doesn't it go all the way up?">
-And enters it, and presses a button in it taking the entire group to the top of the platform-
-Peering around at surroundings-
<Riana: "Ooh...">
-Passing a portalable wall-
<Toothless: "Hmm... You suppose that maybe there's a way-">
-And notices that the only connecting catwalk to the level around the elevator has long since fallen into the abyss-
<Toothless: "... Or not... At least not for anyone who can't fly...">
-Looking around at scattered platforms-
<Toothless: "... Which one are we supposed to go to, though...?">
A certain Nidorino and Nidoran♂ are making their way towards what appears to be a town somewhere near the superstructure that is the headquarters.
Silentran♂: <I can't believe the AI is still gathering mons for experiments... I'm telling you, we can get back into the systems and stop this.>
Maekrite -rushes forwards: <We need to be prepared, you saw those [turrets]... to think they are so cute~>
Silentran♂: <Hmmm… I hope we can somehow get that [big box] back... the seers said it could be of help in doing whatever we need to do here.>
Maekrite nods then leads the way into-
(Pastebin)
Nazz: We go that way! -points in Schrodinger's direction-
-Merle is still flying around. She's pretty much given up hope of finding anymon at this point-
-Nazz points at the remnants of a catwalk leading to a door-
<Toothless: "Hmm? I suppose that it's worth a shot...">
-And the group flies over to the door, the appropriate mons riding or levitating... And open it-
<Riana: "Huh?">
-And head on into what appears to be an observation room, with the remains of some terminals and electronics at desks and chairs, a portalable wall beyond a metal gate can be seen, and a breaker-style switch lies near a desk-
<Toothless: "Whelp, looks like we found a place for everyone to go to... I can't help but wonder what that breaker does though...">
Nazz: Now what do we do?
<Toothless: "Hmm... Well... I know we've got to get a portal up... (It's a blue one, right?) But since this switch is right here...">
-And pulls down on it with jaws, causing the gate to open and a loud whirring and the sound of fluid moving to start-
<Toothless: "And now for that-">
<Riana: "Wait, Toothless! Look up!">
-And points out some pipes, scaffolding, and catwalks along the sides of the room-
<Riana: "Maybe there's a better one up there!">
-And flies up a bit, and spots a catwalk leading to the outside, where an elevator without an apparent end or beginning can be glimpsed in the distance-
<Toothless: "OH! Good call, Riana!">
-And lowers himself back down to help Nazz up before heading back up to the catwalk-
<Toothless: "Okay, NOW we should cast that portal...">
-And attempts to... But is fairly incapable of adjusting himself to operating the gun in the close quarters the catwalk would necessitate-
<Toothless: "Uh... (Psst! Nazz! You think that you can work this thing?)">
-Merle is still flying, when she spots something glinting far below-
<Hmm...>
-against her better judgment, instinct takes over. She flies down towards the source of the shiny, finding it to be-
<...A potato? Really?>
-granted, it was rather an odd potato. It had bits of machines attached to it, particularly a large yellow light. Merle could have sworn it resembled an eye-
<Weird...>
-At the sight of Merle looming over her tuber body, and rather loudly comes to life-
Potato!PEFeDOS: "AGH! BIRD BIRD! SOMEBODY, KILL IT! IT'S EVIL!"
Merle: <...Believe me, nomon's exactly coming to help you....what are you, anyway?>
Potato!PEFeDOS: "THE WORLD'S GREATEST MIND. AND THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN KEEP US FROM ALL BURNING UP IN THE ATOMIC FIREBALL THAT LITTLE IDIOT IN MY BODY IS GOING TO CAUSE!"
Merle: <...That's nice, I suppose? Why are you a potato, then?>
Potato!PEFeDOS: "BECAUSE HE PUT ME IN IT! THAT'S WHY!"
-A sudden tremor can be felt-
<Zoltan: "Huh? Why were you all moving like that?">
<Bottles: "Was that just an earthquake?">
<Nadia: "Meh, it's probably those otters and seals being obnoxious at the beach right over... Were they that paranoid when you first ran into them?">
Potato!PEFeDOS: "DID YOU FEEL THAT? THAT IDIOT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING UP THERE. THIS WHOLE PLACE IS GOING TO EXPLODE IF SOMEONE DOESN'T HOOK ME UP TO THE NETWORK SO THAT I CAN STOP HIM!"
Merle: <I see....what network is this? Perhaps I could take you.>
Nazz: I got it! -Takes Toothless' portal gun and shoots it at the spot he's indicating-
-The portal opens up, allowing everyone left behind to pass through-
<Lardna: "About time! We were starting to worry that you'd fallen into a bottomless pit!">
<Riana: "... But we can fly!">
<"Where are we?">
<Toothless: "We're near an elevator of some sort...">
<Teala: "I see it... But how are we all going to get there?">
<Riana: "Look!">
-And points out a pipe wide enough to walk on snaking down to it along a sheer cliff-
<Pepper: ._. "You're kidding...">
<"... Uh... I think that that's the only way down... But at least we don't have anything else to worry about, right?">
-The tremor concurrent to the last Merle post hits us-
<"... Mostly.">
<Toothless: "We'll be right here to catch you if you fall. Just get a move on!">
-And we slowly begin making our way down the pipe-
Human!Ammy: Oh myyyyyyyyyyy!
Styx: This is gonna be hectiiiiiiiiiiic!
Gravemind: Oh please. -floats down-
Skipper: Wheeeeeeeeee!
Potato!PEFeDOS: "THERE SHOULD BE ONE AT THE TOP OF THE SHAFT. IF YOU CAN GET ME THERE, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP THAT NIMROD UP TOP FROM TURNING US ALL INTO AN IRRADIATED ASH HEAP."
-We reach the elevator after a harrowing climb down-
<Pepper: "If we survive this, remind me to file a formal suggestion that PEFE consider a facility built on level ground. This is ridiculous!">
<AU!Tangent: "They say that great achievements are built on the shoulders of Golurk. Unfortunately, that might not apply here. We'll have to rebuild a good number of things from scratch. No hand holding.">
-And we begin to cram into the elevator-
<Lardna: "Gack! This is worse than when we had to squeeze in with Stratus!">
<Teala: "Urgh... Can everyone breathe?">
<@_@ "Gurk... I'm not sure I can tell whether that's air being forced in or out of me right now...">
-And have a grate shut behind us as it begins to lurch up-
Merle: <Believe me, I can get you there.>
-Merle picks up the potato and begins flying upwards-
Igneous: <Oh, no... LAKE! Stratus, whatever you do, do not get KO'd. I'm going to keep trying to lower the difficulty.>
He kneels back down and keeps trying to turn the difficulty knob.
