Pueltown - 25/8/14

-For the first time since the fight began, the Excubitors appear to be taken off-guard by the hail of Draco Meteors raining down on them. One slams into the chest of the Gallade and sends him crashing into the wall of a nearby building so hard that he leaves several cracks in the masonry, knocking him out instantly.-

Excubitor: ...

-The two Excubitors share a glance before the Gardevoir vanishes them with a blip as draconic fire erupts around them.-

Elsewhere in Pueltown - 25/8/14

-Upon noticing Gekkobi's approach, the figure suddenly stands up and turns to face him, giving him just enough time to notice the Neo-Galactic insignia emblazoned across the chest of their atmospherically-sealed uniform before disappearing with a blip.-

After the attack is finished, Shingeko, Teishi and Sensei all got out unharmed while Sub-Zero was still passed out next to them, Ryu then reappears next to the group.

"Take him to somewhere safe!" said Shingeko, to Ryu, pointing at Sub-Zero and getting a nod in response "You two come with me!"

Shingeko then quickly goes to Aline, Sensei picks her up and they go straight to a hospital. Divoom soon lands, panting and lacking energy to do anything else. Ryu thought of saying something to him, but instead just left, carrying Sub-Zero with him.

-Gekkobi's eyes widen inperceptivly behind his visor as he starts to try to figure out where the person went before taking a step forward and turning around-

-Gekkobi turns around just in time to see a stun baton crackling with several thousand volts of electricity being swung at his head.-

Pueltown Hospital - 26/8/14

-Lucius is pacing up and down in the waiting room, occasionally pausing to tap his foot impatiently and check his Poketch.-

Lucius is approached by the figure of a young woman who was looking somewhat intrigued by him.

"Are you waiting to visit one of the pacients? You seem to be a bit agitated." she asked.

-Gekkobi ducks suddenly and aims an unpracticed punch at the chest of the Excubitor-

-The Excubitor easily catches Gekkobi's punch in a gauntleted hand and retaliates with a baton blow to the stomach. Behind the unfortunate superhero, a second Excubitor blips in with the help of a Starmie and hurls a glue grenade at his feet.-

Excubitor: ...

Pueltown Hospital - 26/8/14

-Lucius stops pacing and turns to face the young woman, a scowl on his face.-

Lucius: As a matter of fact, I am, thank you for noticing. In fact, I'd go so far to describe myself as very agitated. I'm looking for a girl named Aline. Someone else was supposed to be meeting me here, but she doesn't seem to have shown up, which is a damn nuisance since I need to talk to her as soon as possible.

"Oh, you must be talking about Sakura. She's out right now, sorry, she'll probably be back soon. I'm Aline's mother, Monique Belamie, you must be one of her friends, I can bring you to her room." she said, calmly.

-With his hand caught Gekkobi does little more than yell and tense up as the baton's electricity makes it's circuit.  An attempt is made to grab at the baton or the hand holding that.  Distracted with the Excubitor in front of him, he barely notices the grenade at his feet and by the time he tries to knock it aside it is probably too late-

-Gekkobi's attempt to knock the glue grenade away has limited success, as it results in only one of his feet getting stuck to the rooftop. The Excubitor in front of him barely seems to react to having their wrist grabbed, and grapples with Gekkobi for a moment as the second Excubitor aims a blow at the back of the superhero's helmet.-

Excubitor: ...

Pueltown Hospital - 26/8/14

-Lucius sighs.-

Lucius: Of course she is... anyway, if you could take me to Aline, that'd be ideal.

"All right, follow me."

Monique then leads Lucius to Aline's room, where the girl is lying on a bed watching a video and tilting her head following the beat of the song, she doesn't seem to notice Lucius.

Lucius: Oi, space cadet. Sakura told me what happened. How are you holding up?

Gekkobi:  "Glue bombs?  That's not very original"

-The would be hero attempts to get his opponent's baton away from him, or to get the Excubitor to zap himself.  But his attempts leave him completely open to the blow directed at his helmet-

Aline is slightly startled by Lucius's poking her, then looks at him and smiles warmly as she reaches over to her sign and writes on it

"I'm okay. Thanks for visiting though."

Excubitor: ...

-The Excubitor grappling with Gekkobi pulls back, wresting their baton away from their opponent as the second Excubitor strikes Gekkobi over the back of the head with a hard blow.-

Pueltown Hotel - 25/8/14

To: Sarah

Sure. I'm out of therapy for the day anyway.

From: Lucius

-A few minutes later, there is a rapping on Sarah's door.-

Lucius: Knock knock. I don't actually have a knock-knock joke prepared, so I'd appreciate it if we could skip the "who's there" bit and just cut straight to me opening the door.

Pueltown Hospital - 26/8/14

Lucius: Of course I came to visit. I had to make sure that you were alright. First Neo-Galactic try to outright kill my friends, now they're attacking pre-teens who just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time... I'm going to make my father pay for everything that's happened over these last few days, I swear.

-He sighs.-

Lucius: Still, I trust that I don't need to tell you how dumb it was to run into the middle of a fight like that. This is why kids your age shouldn't be associating with those costumed lunatics. There's bad people out there who won't hesitate to hurt you in order to get to them.

Aline nods and begins writing on her sign again.

"I thought they were going to hurt him and I wanted to help, but I couldn't call the police because... I can't talk on the phone... I couldn't just ignore it, Shingeko was so nice to me early that day..."

Sarah: It's open...

-Assuming Lucius heard correctly, upon opening the door he'll find Sarah staring at the ceiling and flicking a Rainbow Wing between her fingers.-

-While the helmet softened the blow somewhat, between the glue, the blow and the yank Gekkobi is easily sent face-first to the ground with a grunt-

-The Excubitors remain silent as ever as Gekkobi collapses to the floor, one jabbing him in the small of the back with their stun baton whilst the other delivers several sharp kicks to his ribs.-

Pueltown Hotel - 25/8/14

-Lucius pushes open the door and blinks upon seeing the almost shell-shocked looking Sarah sat in the room.-

Lucius: ...What happened? Did Jason try to enlist you into his harem or something like that?

Pueltown Hospital - 26/8/14

-Lucius rests a hand against his forehead.-

Lucius: So you decided to challenge several dangerous opponents that you had no chance of defeating in order to try and help someone you barely know... well, that's exactly the same thing I would've done, so I guess I can't fault you there. But you're lucky you got away with only a scar to show for it. Neo-Galactic aren't known for their restraint.

-Gekkobi writhes as he is electrocuted, and grunts wordlessly as he is kicked before weakly trying to grab at the kicking Excubitor's foot.  If he weren't tiring so rapidly, he might have a chance at holding a grip-

Aline's expression becomes one of a little sorrow as she looks down to write something

"But... I helped! I mean... I didn't, but Mama and Papa told me that it was because of Divoom that Shingeko was able to escape without getting hurt. Even if I got hurt I still got to do something! I couldn't just walk past everything and pretend I saw nothing when he was so nice to me. That's just wrong!"
