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

Stratus: <Urk. Hit me where it hurts, why don't you...>

Lake: <...Okay. I'll try and keep that in mind from now on.>

In all honestly, he felt foolish that his politeness had nearly gotten them all killed.

<...Uh-oh.>

But they had bigger problems to worry about, as a HUGE module was lowered in front of them. Before they could react, they had ended up flying inside, a forcefield door flickering their existence to block their escape.

Cornn: "Ah-ha! I have all the cards in our little game, and they're all full houses! Which means I'm the victor!"

Lake: <Not yet, you're not! Stratus, Igneous! Help me out with this one!>

The Feraligatr cloaks himself in water, boosting them forwards towards the opposite wall.

Lake used Waterfall!

Stratus: <What are you do...OH! I know what to do!>

Flapping his wings harder, Stratus increases their speed even further as he lowers his head to ram the wall.

Stratus used Dragon Rush!

Igneous nods, and fires up his jets at full power.

IGNEOUS USED FLARE BLITZ!

Eskay almost lands on top of Skye, but she gets out of the way quick enough.

Skye: <Whoa, watch where- ...Eskay!>

And she hugs him

Eskay: <Hey... We were worried about you. Now, let's go back.>

He taps the shard again.

Eskay sighs.

Psyche takes several deep breaths. "At least I know Flash..." Psyche uses Flash, looking for a glint of light on a shard.

Nothing glints except for the shard Eskay was holding.

Eskay: <Well, that's just... fantastic. We're stuck. Here. Again.>

He sighs. Diane goes over to comfort him.

Diane: <At least we're not inside the building...>

Eskay: <We're more likely to get killed out here than inside...>

"Fan-tucking-fastic. This is another beautiful mess we're in." Psyche takes another couple of deep breaths. "Give me a couple of hours. If there's any shards near here, I can probably find them. But. It takes perfect silence. Perfect concentration. It's going to be tough. I think I might be able to pull it off though."

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

CRASH!!!

The combined attacks easily punch through the wall and out to the other side, much to Cornn's frustration.

Cornn: "NOT FAIR! Smashing through the walls is cheating!"

Lake: <Yeah, do you really think we care about whether we're cheating or not right now?>

Now seemingly safe, the three are now flying through a large gap between two larger modules, a third at the end creating what would be a dead-end...if it not for the fact it were about thirty feet above the PEFE's floor.

Stratus: <Look! If I can just get us down there, we'll be safe!>

Lake: <All we've gotta' do is make it in one piece!>

As if on cue, panels on both walls started to flip around, revealing platforms with turrets on one side that began to take aim at them, while on the other, stationary tractor beams along the walls began to fire in an attempt to pull them in.

<...Me and my big mouth...>

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

Lake: <Got it! Keep flying, Stratus!>

Stratus: <Okay!>

As the Turrets began to open fire, Lake retaliated with a burst of Water Gun attacks, going for accuracy over firepower seeing as he only needed to knock over the turrets to keep them from working.

As they flew past one just above, the Feraligatr pelted it with a jet of water, knocking it off it's perch...

Turret #12 "AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

...Then shot at another Turret just below them before it could open fire...

Turret #39 "Goodnight..."

...And at two more as Stratus dipped below a Tractor Beam that Igneous neatly destroyed with a Flash Cannon.

Turret #734 "Sorry."

Turret #1637 "I don't blame you..."

As they continued onwards, however, several Light Bridges began to flicker into existence, providing yet another obstacle to deal with.

Stratus: <AAAHHH!!!>

Stratus dived to avoid colliding into one that had activated in his path, then climbed again to avoid a tractor beam, then rolling to the side to dodge a burst of gunfire from a line of turrets off to the side.

<You guys getting the feeling that they really don't want us to escape?>

Lake: <Hang on!>

Lake pauses to take out another turret...

Turret #721: "Why?!"

...Then reaches up into Stratus' hammerspace, routing around and evetually pulling out his Portal Gun.

Lake: <Here you g- AAAHHHH!!!>

He struggles to keep hold of the gun as Stratus dives to avoid another Light Bridge.

Stratus: <Sorry!>

Letting out a sigh of relief, Lake holds up the device for Igneous to take.

Lake: <Have you got a plan?>

Igneous: <For once, yes, I do have a plan...>

He shoots a portal just below the edge of the trench, and then the other at a wall a few yards away.

Igneous: <Fly us into there! Quick!>

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

Stratus: <Okay! Here I g->

PEFEDoS: "That does it!"

Lake: <What?>

Stratus: <Huh?>

All of a sudden, the two modules across from them begin to rumble, before beginning to close in towards each other. The shuddering of the left wall knocking the turrets off their platforms.

Turret #413: "NOOOOOO!!!"

Turret #924: "I DID EVERYTHING YOU ASKED ME TO!!!"

Corrn: "HEY! Stop trying to kill my test subjects!"

PEFEDoS: "They're my test subjects, and I can kill them if I want to!"

Lake: <NOBODY IS KILLING ANYBODY! Not if Ihave anything to say about it! Stratus! Get us out of here!>

Stratus: <YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK ME TWICE!>

The Dragonite flaps towards the portal as fast as he can as the walls get closer...

Lake: <Come on!>

...And closer...

Stratus: <Why did I choose to learn Barrier over Extremespeed?!>

...And closer...

Lake: <AAAHHH!!! Nadia! Luke! Mom! Dad! If I don't make it out of this, I LOVE YOU!>

...Finally, just as the walls are about to crush the three, Stratus flies through the portal, emerging on the other side as the two huge modules ram each other with a crash loud enough to shake the entire facility.

Exhausted, Stratus sighs with relief, flopping down on the ground on his belly...

Stratus: <Phew...>

Lake: <...Ouch.>

...Right on top of Lake. Realizing his mistake the Dragonite Mareepishly lets go of the Feraligatr and jumps off of him.

Stratus: <Whoops. My bad...>

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

Obviously, Lake and Stratus didn't expect to run into a Flygon down underneath the module, so Spectrum's sudden appearance caught them both by surprise.

Stratus: <Whoa!>

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

Under The Main Superstructure - PEFE-That-Was

-A certain Archen and company are milling about, having been recently rejoined via Spectrum along with a couple others-

<"... How did Spectrum find you guys, anyways?">

<Cleo: "She's a reality warper!">

<Lardna: "(Has she been taking lessons from Gene or something? We just had our backs turned from a minute!)">

<Toothless: "Have you all been doing alright?">

Somewhere Along The Dome - Interior - Service Hatch

-Some pounding can be heard from the other side of the hatch-

<??? #1: "Just a little more! I think that it moved that time!">

<??? #2: "Argh. What's this thing made out of?!">

-It is at this point that a certain Duskull phases through a nearby wall-

<Eir: "...">

-And non-chalantly opens the hatch, causing a small number of mons to tumble through onto the ground-

<Eir: "It's open!">

-From underneath a Walrein-

<Rookery!Dewott: @_@ "Oh, it is? I couldn't tell...">

-A Salamence in light armor passes through after the pile picks itself up, and attempts to regain its bearings-

<Nadia: "Rrr... Alright, it's time to find that computer and make her watch herself die for good!">

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

Main Superstructure

Lake: <Well, let's see. We went looking for you soon after we left. When we couldn't find you, we went to the front door to find what was wrong and Cornn ended up shocking us to unconscious.>

Stratus: <When we woke up, he shepherded us of to the holoarena and made us fight a Mewtwo on the hardest difficulty setting!>

Lake: <He managed to get me after fighting for a while, but while I was out...>

Stratus grims triumphantly.

Stratus: <I beat him! All on my own, too!>

Lake nods in agreement.

Lake: <Yeah, we're pretty proud with him for that.>

Stratus: <After that, I had to carry Lake through a test chamber because somehow that other A.I managed to come back online...But then Igneous showed up with our stuff, and some medicine for Lake.>

Lake: <We broke down the wall and made a break for it, and after dodging a whole bunch of turrets, Tractor beams and what-have-you, we ended up down here. And that's pretty much everything.

So to answer your original question, yeah. We're okay.>

Stratus: <What happened to you guys after we left? We've been really worried about you...>

Dome Surface hatch

A certain Feraligatr, now decked out in full armor, gazes down at the sheer size of the PEFE interior with a mixture of sheer fear and awe.

Toothy: <Er, how are we even going to find it? It's like you've got a whole city in here!>
