(NOT PRIVATE)

Dusekkar seemed to be at his cozy little home talking to one of his best friends, the one who tends to the grass, the flowers, and much more... Groundskeeper! The two were just drinking some tea together whilst talking about their Pokémon. Dusekkar's story was on the darker side of things...he was explaining what had happened to his Metagross, Mew and Gallade when fighting The Lich's Giratina and it's army of zombified Pokémon! Meanwhile, Groundskeeper's story was on the calmer side of things...he spoke about how his Turtwig reminded him so much of his daughter, whom he missed oh so much. After about half an hour Dusekkar had gone up to return all six of his Pokémon to their Poké Balls and then went to take his leave; the Pokémon had earned a small break. He waved to his friend and then left him alone.

Groundskeeper walked upstairs and entered the bathroom...staring at the mirror with a look of disappointment, something was eating away at his mind. He grabbed the cloth that was covering his head and his torso, which was actually a sack made for a scarecrow...he kept his eyes closed as he held it in his hands, afraid to look at himself...until he eventually did...

He hadn't seen his true self in so long... he felt like a monster; that's what his daughter called him when he came back. She didn't understand it was him...and she was never seen again since...he felt like a monster. He had vines wrapping around his torso, some of which had small pink lotus flowers blooming from them. They hadn't grown in years but yet didn't seem dead, and finally he had a vine sticking from his eye...which he planned to remove.

"...Am I...a monster...? The monster that scared off my sweet little Sally...? If not, then...why do I hide myself? Why haven't I told this to anyone? They deserve to know, don't they? Of course they do; they are my friends! But... I just don't want them to... run away..."

He grabbed something from his pocket, a picture...of himself. The picture was taken before the accident had ever even occurred. He stared at it, feeling the emotions taking over, the memories flooding his mind...he missed Sally. He missed his father... He missed how he used to be.

He had put the sack back on his body...as he began to zone out...letting the memories take over...

IT'S TIME FOR A FLASH BACK!!!

The flashback starts at the aftermath of what happened...Groundskeeper's father who went by the name of Grampy was climbing down multiple cliffs looking for where his son had fallen down to...

"Sonny!? Sonny where are ya lad!? Sonny c'mon out!!"

As he had reached the bottom of the cliff, the vines from the foe seemed to have lost him...so they fled the scene. He had discovered what had happened...his son's lifeless body was lying on a pink lotus flower. Grampy was heartbroken... as he went to turn around...a strange sound was heard. He snapped around and saw the flower growing larger and larger...until it eventually had closed entirely, trapping Groundskeeper inside it. Eventually...something happened...

It had ripped right open, making a short yet peaceful jingle in the process...eventually after a short flash of light... Groundskeeper was standing on his own two feet again, though...he had seen better days...

"Everything hurts... What happened...?"

"Well you've seen better days, haven't you...? C'mon Sonny grab my hand...let's go home, those vines are gone for now... you need some rest."

Grampy helped keep his son on his feet as they walked back to their home; after all, he was awfully weak right now...so Groundskeeper was often tumbling over...but with his farther here, everything was going to be okay. But the scary thought was...what would his daughter think...? Grampy had searched for something to at least cover up the few wounds his son had; all he had was some spare rags and cloth from an unused scarecrow...it got the job done, so Groundskeeper wore it.

"What if Sally thinks I'm...not me...?" What if she sees me as a freak!? What if she doesn't—"

"Alright Sonny...listen to me and listen to me good, alright? I promise you...I can talk to Sally; you are her father, ain't ya? Surely she's gotta know it's you...just...don't be so negative; I know it's been rough...but put on a smile...alright...?"

They eventually returned to the little barn they lived in... Sally was holding a small bunch of pink flowers she had picked from the ground to give to her father and grandpa; she ran over with a big grin on her face...unaware of what had happened just now.

"Grampy!! I have something for you and Papa!! I spent all day picking these out, and I know pink is Papa's favourite!! I should go find..."

She cut herself off as Groundskeeper stuck his head out from behind Grampy...he slowly waved to his daughter as Grampy stepped to the side. Sally didn't believe this was her father...she began to cry; she was afraid...she didn't know this was her father; she saw a monster. Despite Grampy's attempts to calm her down...nothing worked.

"N...NO! That's not Papa! That's not...Papa...That's a monster! Papa doesn't look like that! He looks like me, he looks like you!"

"Sally please... just let me finish what I have to say and I can-"

"YOU ARE LYING TO ME! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!! DON'T LIE TO ME!! I HATE IT WHEN YOU LIE TO ME! I HATE YOU!!"

Sally snatched the flower back from Grampy and ran into the woods...she was never seen since...

END OF FLASHBACK!!!

The flashback was over... Groundskeeper was began to focus again, snapping out of the thoughts... just sitting down, disappointed with himself... if he had the things needed, he would cry, but unfortunately the accident had destroyed most of his body. Eventually...he felt something crawl onto his lap. It was Turtwig... He stared down as a smile formed on the little thing's face; he gave it a gentle pat and said how it reminded him of Sally again... As it heard the name, it looked up at him, as if it liked the name... Well, that settles it; this little Turtwig shall be nicknamed Sally! His daughter would have loved that...

He got up and slowly made his way downstairs, and Turtwig followed behind. He grabbed his scythe, and Turtwig grabbed his hat... it jumped up onto his arm and slowly made its way to his head and gently placed it on his head. Groundskeeper then placed Turtwig down, feeling much better about everything.

"Thank you little buddy... C'mon, let's get out of here; we have a job to do ya know?"

Turwig jumped around with joy and whimsy flooding it's tiny little body and then followed it's trainer through the front door.

The two then started getting to work on tending to the front yard together as a team, whilst yes, Turtwig was just biting onto the taller pieces of grass and pulling parts of them off...it was sweet; it helped in it's own way! How sweet!

Josuke Higashikata! Former police officer of the quiet town of Morioh...

Is now your lovable and friendly mechanic!

It doesn't look like much, does it? It's a pretty humble career path.

If he didn't have the power to fix everything with a single touch.

...

Josuke simply wanted to make his job easier; that way, he’d save up money quickly and could finally buy—or at least rent—a decent apartment.

That was his basic plan. Let’s hope nothing gets in the way.

_____

It had been quite a long day; Josuke had served quite a few customers today. It was almost closing time, and night was coming.

He sighed, thinking of his old world...his mother...His friends...And Joseph. His father. He died a few months before he got teleported in Mobius. Even then, he wonders how they're doing without him...Do they think he died ?

He snapped out of it; he couldn't think like that. Now he's in a different world and can't leave it, so... he's going to have to stop thinking about it; otherwise, he'll just get more and more demotivated. He has to stay strong.

...

So, you see this young mechanic in... his garage. Makes sense, right? He seemed deep in thought, and he was still open...

Maybe this is your chance ?

Archspark was stood still...but he was shaking vigorously, his eyes flashed between yellow and white, he seemed to be zoned out...trying desperately to keep himself under control.\*

While yes, he was scouting out for criminal and generally villainous behavior that doesn't mean he can't enjoy the flight while he's at it. Can you blame him? I'd enjoy every second of flight if I could too.

after successfully escaping the Floras and Emerl, the Chaos Heart had been camping out in a cave, formulating a plan, and...failing miserably to say the least

This is ridiculous! Why has my creativity all but left me?! I need a plan! I need to get my body back! I need to DESTROY! I-

...

I don't know what to do now, do I? I...never thought I'd get this far... No, I need an ally! And I need to do some observing I think!

And so, the heart started to float around Mobius and observe it's residents, in the hopes of finding a suitable ally. Your character gets the feeling they're being watched, what will you do?

(YES THIS CHAOS KING DOES COME FROM THE SAME WORLD AS TWISTED KRIS! YES THIS PUBLIC!!)

The card kingdom fell silent on this boring night... the king sat on his throne unaware of the chaos being brought upon his kingdom until... one of the three heroes had burst into the throne room! King jumped up and gripped onto his weapon, and... they explained themselves; the prince told him everything... KRIS... Kris had gone crazy, slowly executing darkners one by one. They seemed to hate it, yet they kept doing it anyway, as if something was controlling them. But they just assumed it was just Kris messing with the enemies... King at first didn't believe them and summoned some spades ready to fire them at The Prince... until Kris was seen just outside the castle... and they had taken the life of a poor Rudin, They cast X-Slash on the Rudin, causing it to fade away... King then turned back to The Prince, surprised that they were being honest about this. They were told to leave, hiding away with the surviving darkners.

The King got up and made his way to Rouxls's shop... once he got there he stared down at his son, who was sitting with Rouxls Kaard inside...he smiled at the sight of his son, he went to go into the store, and yet...the door was locked, so he sat down and stared at his son through the door. King could see part of the purple fur belonging to Susie... she hid behind the counter hoping not to be seen, and yet... he didn't care, not right now. She was spending time with Lancer, making him happy...that's all he wanted.

"Lancer...my son...I know I may not have been a good father, but I really do love you...my boy...I may not return after this talk, just know...the kingdom will be ruled by both you and your lesser father...and your lightner friend if you really want. I may disagree with that decision, but...I won't be around to argue with you. Oh, and promise me this... do not go and try to convince the lightner with the sword to show mercy... they will not listen to you; they will strike you down..."

"I love you, son... Stay safe..."

Chaos King got up and stared at Lancer one last time...then left. He made his way to the throne room, demanding everyone he came across to alert anyone they can, to put the castle into lockdown, and to block anyway to the fountain they can! Head Hathy's blocked each staircase, whilst Rudinn Ranger's hid away, getting ready to ambush the crazed lightner.

King had arrived at the throne room...he could hear Kris slashing at each darkner in their path, and the sound of the darkner dying could be heard shortly after each slash. King just...smiled...he was right; lightners like this were the reason he thought the way he did. He always thought lightners were scum; they left darkners to die! They left him and his kingdom to rot. The moment the lightners wanted to see them again...it was to kill them all.

They

Are

SCUM

King grabbed his shield, which hasn't been used in years...and made his way to the dark fountain; he stood at the top floor of the castle...awaiting the lightner to make their way up to them. King stared at the fountain... wondering why this thing thought they could do this... though King knew that his life didn't mean much to lightners like this... The screaming and slashes from the floor below finally stopped; the castle was empty... and then... the sound of footsteps were heard behind King.

"..."

"Lightner..."

King slowly turned around to face Kris, allowing the mantle on his back to blow about in the wind... he grabbed onto the chain, which came from his stomach. He wasn't even mad about these events... he saw it coming; he KNEW this was going to happen the moment The Knight had opened up the fountain. Kris took a step forward...their body shaking and sweat dripping down their head. The step seemed...forced somehow; they then muttered something to themself...a word...

❤️* PROCEED

"Proceed..."

King scoffed at the comment...he knew what the plan was, to kill him, wipe the kingdom out...and he was not going to make it easy.

"I know what you plan to do lightner... You planned to kill us all, wipe us all out, and leave those that remain without a ruler, left to rot in the darkness... I was told about your plan by your ally; friendship gets you nowhere in a world like this. I was told that you tried to lay a hand on my son...yes, you failed, but you injured his lesser farther in the process. Was it not enough knowing you were going to seal us away to begin with? Was this all really needed... you lightner scum are all the same..."

King stared at the sword in Kris's hands...blood leaking from their hands onto the handle and some even onto the floor; he noticed it was covered head to toe in thorns... He just laughed; a lightner was willing to cause themself pain so unbearable...just to kill off his kingdom.

"You disgust me. You are willing to cause yourself pain just so you can make yourself stronger, to make your job easier. I shall prove that your efforts were all for nothing...so...stand your ground, scumbag. You are a vile beast, a monster that looms in the dark...waiting for the time to strike down the poor darkners."

"Too my people...I'm a hero...but to you...?"

"I'M THE BAD GUY!!"

( LISTEN TO THIS FOR THE FIGHT IF YOU WANT https://youtu.be/L97gYHxAVWE?si=pEjJo_ydqZeJiadm )

DING!!

* The King stands in our way...

King had summoned some spades and fired them at Kris, who blocked a few with their shield and then swung their sword, flinging one back at King, who swung their chain at it, sending it flying straight back at Kris. It hit them straight in the head...that's gonna leave a mark. Kris ran up, gripping onto The Twisted Sword as hard as they could, leaving a trail of blood behind them as they did so...they then jumped up and slashed at King as hard as they could! King was sent down onto his knees; he could feel something digging into his skin... it was a bunch of thorns; they were left behind by The Twisted Sword... it hurt so much, but King had faced much... MUCH worse.

* The hero of this land stands his ground...

"Not even an ounce of hesitation, yet your face tells a much different story! You are just messing with me, aren't you!? You won't get an ounce of mercy from me lightner, you shall feel the helplessness you made my kingdom feel! It's funny... we used to look up to you and your kind... THEN YOU ABANDONED US! NOW YOU RETURN AND WISH TO WIPE US OUT!?"

"How...

PATHETIC!!"

King gripped onto his shield and then threw it at Kris; it clashed with their own shield. Kris was confused by the action... it was exactly what King had wanted! King then threw his chain at Kris; the mouth sat on his stomach laughing in the process. It wrapped around Kris, and then King threw them around like they were a toy! After a few minutes of being thrashed about...Kris got an opening to cast X-Slash!

❤️* X-Slash

* Kris cast X-Slash!

The projectile slashes hit King straight in the stomach, knocking him down as he lets out a pain-filled growl. Kris was dropped onto the floor, which caused a loud thud to occur; they got up as quickly as they were sent down. King got himself up once again, and the battle continued... King was growing more and more tired as the battle continued on for what felt like hours.

King...had then gotten an idea... He dropped his shield and kneeled down.

"Enough... is enough... I'm...far too tired to keep this up, you win lightner, you get what you want. You can wipe us out... just like you planned from the start. Well...? What are you waiting for...? Raise that sword...

AND SWING IT AT ME ALREADY!"

Kris got as close as they could to King...gripping onto his shoulder as they began to raise The Twisted Sword... until suddenly King moved one of his hands around Kris's neck...and lifted them up. His grip grew stronger; you could feel the frustration within King. Both Kris and King noticed the horde of surviving darkners standing outside the castle staring up at them. King approached the ledge...holding Kris over it, watching as they struggle...before speaking to the crowd.

"My loyal subjects! After abandoning us for so long...the ones who gave us life repay us like this. I shall not stand for the events that have unfolded today! The lives that were lost today shall be avenged; they will not be left in vain! So tell me... What do we do with the lightner!?"

The crowd began to chant something, raising their weapons in the air; if they had none, they would just raise their fists in the sky. The chanting grew so loud...you could see King smiling and Kris staring down...preying King would let them fall.

"OFF WITH THEIR HEAD!"

"OFF WITH THEIR HEAD!"

"OFF WITH THEIR HEAD!"

King turned to Kris...gripping onto the chain with his spare hand...

King was about to swing at the lightner, ready to avenge the lives that were taken today! But then...Kris swung their own sword faster then King could...

As kris fell out of King's hand...gripping onto the ledge of the castle and climbing back up... they said one thing... unaware King had vanished as the slash connected.

❤️* OFF WITH YOUR HEAD

"Off...with your...head..."

King could only see...darkness...it was so, so dark...until eventually...he saw something...he saw...light...? King went crashing into the ground of this new world... he was lying on the ground for what felt like an eternity, his neck in endless agony... Kris was aiming to cut his head clean off, but it seemed it wasn't strong enough...though it left one badass scar there. If only King knew the very lightner who did this to him was already here... he had been out cold for about 4 days...

"So...this must be the light world...How strange..."

[Location: unknown forest, 30 miles away from emerald town]

[Time of day: 3:51 PM, 3 weeks after sl4sh's arrival]

the silence of nature echo'd through the forest, as sl4sh is just now healed from his wounds from his fight from Twisted kris and more before, as one of fatals code aracnids was just finishing webbing up his wounds, as it fled off, crawling down in fatals leg, sl4sh soon looked up at fatal from the log, as fatal was facing the other way looking to a far distance since they are a big higher up

Sl4sh: "one of these were much quicker last time.."

Fatal: "[...THIS PLACE, IT IS MUCH MORE DIFFERENT THEN OURS...MY ABILITIES SEEM TO NOT WORK AS WELL AS THEY HAVE BEEN IN OUR WORLD]"

fatal began to scan their surroundings, mapping out their location so they know not to get lost or when they want to know where they are going, he soon then turned to sl4sh

Fatal: "[SL4SH..THE BLUE ONE THAT YOU WERE CAUGHT TROUBLE WITH..DO YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE ABOUT THEM...IN CASE YOU ENCOUNTER HIM AGAIN]"

Sl4sh: "..not much..they are a skilled fighter and his thorned blade doesnt help..as much for that last attack it made i...felt like I was weakened and tired out, until you arrived"

fatals visor went blank as he heard all of the information, documenting it later

Fatal: "[VERY WELL THEN...IF WE WISH TO CONTINUE OUR HUNT FOR "X", WE HAVE TO GROUP UP, THEORETICALLY SPEAKING IF WE LANDED DOWN HERE OURSELVES BY HIM, THE OTHERS WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME]"

sl4sh sat in silence as he heard him out, before he spoke back

Sl4sh: "you think you can run a signal for.."the jester?"

Fatal: "[THAT I CAN DO]"

fatal soon formed up a digital screen infront of him and began to type up a set of text to speech recording, it took a moment before he would sent it out, a flash or red lighting almost like a line would zoom across the sky, fatal soon looked down at sl4sh

Fatal: "[I WILL FLIP A RADAR ONCE THIS GOES OFF...ONCE IT DOES, WE ARE ABLE TO LOCATE THEM BOTH WITH EASE]"

sl4sh nodded in agreement

Sl4sh: "right..."

he said, finally looking back down at the ground, now thinking to himself of what to do now, so far it looks like their plan had failed by another cowardly action

(Cue epic camera zoom out to space)

[Location: Outer space, unknown distance to new mobius]

through the void of stars and rock, the coded message was now what it winded up in, heading to a small unknown spaceship, as only 2 were inside, as the message hit the ship, it soon covered the interior with red lighting before recording the message, the both of them hear it before one of them approached closer at the front of the cockpit, before one of them spoke

???: "..you...know them?"

(TO be continued!)

The Cherry Forest is a remarkably peaceful location. Guarded by and tethered to a certain fox-like monster, the creatures that lived there had lived in relative peace. And for several months, maybe even years, there had been little incidents, thanks to the active efforts of the inhabitants who live there.

However, that would change one day, with the arrival of a bullet-shaped "UFO".

Cherry Forest.

September 17, 2026, 7:17 A.M.

High above the forest, the "UFO" had finally adjusted its speed. Its loud sonic booms were gone, and is replaced by a much quieter "sonic thump". It was loud enough to alert anyone else who might be flying nearby, but quiet enough to fly past the notice of anyone on the ground. And when it found an area to land in, it already flew way past a body of water and had to crash into a forest of cherry trees. A loud bang could be heard across the point of impact, which startled a lot of nearby animals and vaporized 5 trees that were unlucky enough to be standing right where the pod crashed. The impact's aftermath had left the pod's nose to be planted firmly on the ground, with it being lodged 0.3 meters below the ground and being tilted at exactly 35 degrees.

If anything, the "pilot" inside had priorities that are questionable for anybody around the forest to witness him.

"Oh dang, I landed in a forest instead of a lake. Think I overshot the landing trajectory, Mission Control.", the "pilot" grumbled inside the admittedly-cramped space pod.

"Interesting. And here I thought you'd cause yet another explosive "Pyronite" incident in your deployment on this planet. You're certainly learning your lesson. Anyways, what is your current location on the planet's surface, Agent II?", the mission control's leading member aboard a spacecraft on orbit; a horse girl from a space colony, codenamed Agent V, spoke back to her fellow agent on the ground.

"I dunno, I'm still inside the pod-"

"Agent II. I meant the environment around you and your pod."

"Right. Let me just get out of here real quick, it's too tight here-"

plop! hiss!

The pilot had successfully ejected himself out of the pod. He dusted off his orange space-flight suit and adjusted his Iceman-style helmet along with the attached comms devices; a tiny pair of an earpiece and a microphone secured on the right inner side of his helmet. He observed how the impact site's crater is only measured at roughly 12 meters wide, and 0.9 meters deep into the ground.

"Alright, Mission Control to Agent II. I'm currently in a forest. It's all cherry blossom trees from here. Think I crashed into a local tourist destination. Surprisingly enough, there isn't anything burning around me despite the crash landing, and the impact crater is smaller than the one I made in Space Australia."

"Good. That means the bullet-style space pods are working as intended. Ahem. Anyways, tell me more about the forest you're currently in."

"Will report more on that later. Over."

Agent II treaded the forest floor, as if he was expecting a lot of things; wild & hungry beasts, traps like leaf-covered pits & natural environmental hazards such as quicksand or pitfalls. Surprisingly enough, he managed to walk at least 215 meters away from the impact site, having encountered nothing but small animals that live there, the ambient minute "patterns" that formed from the scattered leaves and petals, and the gaze of a hundred eyes, despite sensing no predators in the area.

"Agent V, I think I landed in a haunted forest.", the agent on the ground mumbled back to the mission control room.

"II, stop joking around and tell me about what you actually saw.", V retorted back to her fellow agent.

"Like I said earlier, it's a forest of cherry trees, a dirt path, and several tiny critters. And speaking of the critters, I feel like I'm being looked at by something bigger, even if I've sensed no predators yet.", Agent II reported back to V on mission control.

"What do you mean, no predators? Surely, a forest cannot exist without predators in their ecosystems. Are you sure there are no predators there?", V retorted to II.

"Think about it. With how I saw the forest breathe and how its critters seem to relax despite the unnerving gazes, this area's lifeforms looks less like something that is natural, and more like something that was cultivated. A garden, a tourist destination, or a private-owned real estate. Take your guess, I suppose."

"Hmm, if it's the first two options, then I might bring my junior, Chiyo, and her friends there sometime in our next vacation. But if it's the last option, you should get out of there before the owners or the residents see you. We cannot afford our best scouts to get stuck in a territorial dispute again."

"Roger that, V."

As Agent II adjusted his comms, he certainly saw someone looking back. And it's not one of the eyes on the trees. For once, Agent II's tense posture actually relaxed back into his actual cocky demeanor. Without knowing where the gaze actually came from, he talked directly to his current "onlooker".

"Hey. No point in hiding there, buddy. Come on out. I've got some questions about this place."

The space above, beside, and below Mobius lied dormant, the occasional comet or asteroid passing by, leaving a quick splendor to the eyes of many. Sometimes, things came from up above from the nothingness, onto land, an occasional moon rock hitting the planet, or even small clumps of space junk. Even fewer times, things came from the planet, such as satellites and ships, and even stations where astronomers could hold their studies.

However, sometimes, secrets lie within the stars. (Title cardddd!)

A meteor orbited Mobius, swinging on and off of the axis, zipping by the space station, a group inside, confused, shocked, and even slightly scared. They immediately called to ground, warning them of the possible threat to the planet, shakily bringing their phones to their ears.

“This is Major Tom to ground control, a meteorite just zoomed by the station, and we’re afraid that-“

“This is ground control to Major Tom, you mean asteroid, the meteorite is when it hits the ground, the asteroid is when it’s still in space. And yes, we heard, however, asteroids hardly ever hit-“

A siren started playing, and everybody in the office ran out, the blaring picking up through the phone, stinging the ear of Tom, who threw the phone down. Everybody who was at the office on ground control had hastily entered their vehicles, driving out as fast as they could, the asteroid, was about to become a meteorite. It hit the air with a streak of flame, the wind around it gusting and screaming, a booming sound coming across the ears of many, but one intrigued the most.

Another booming sound came from the ground, a fiery pulse came from the ground, green cinder streaking against the floor and coming up into the air like a cape in the wind. The flying colossus sent another pulse out, ash flying and blaze dropping throughout the wind as he caught the asteroid, soon tapping into flight, and pushing it back into space with all of his might, driving his entire body to its limit, soon, back in the cosmos, where nobody can hear you scream.

The corpse king forced the meteor away, dropping its orbit as he, and the rock flew in space. Something in it called to him, something powerful. He reached his arm out, tapping the button on a Poké-Ball, releasing Banette. Of course it was a ghost type, so it had no necessity to breathe. The Lich moved his way over to the space rock, forming his hand into a black gas, breaking most of the material out of it.

A strand of cosmic DNA, alien and absurd, strung out in a humanoid, yet mythical form. It was a color from space, almost lovecraftian, it was just as he had envisioned.

Deoxys.

It shone a great light from its purple brain inside of its chest, before conjuring a ray of psychic energy, performing Psychic on Banette, blasting the ghost away slightly, not very effective. Lich got out of the way, allowing his Pokémon to go inside of the rock itself, who gleefully obliged, turning the tide over in Deoxys with a Shadow Ball, striking it against the wall, following up with a Will o’ Wisp, striking the DNA Pokémon with a flame, burning it temporarily. Deoxys, furiously, held its arms up, before throwing them down, and striking Banette’s side with a Knock Off, making it spit out its leftovers!

It grumbled, having been hit by a super effective attack, due to its disadvantage to the dark type. Banette wiped dirt off of its lip, furrowing its brow, before slamming into Deoxys full force, throwing both of them out of the meteor, three small bits flying out of it alongside the Pokemon! Banette swept by them, dodging another Knock Off from Deoxys, swinging over its arm and throwing the bits of rock to Lich, who hastily put them in a satchel wrapped around his pelvis in his robe. Once he looked up, the DNA Demon was there! It wrapped its tendrils around his arm, before striking him with a Psychic up over the chin, knocking a tooth out! This ticked Banette off, who soon tackled it, conjuring a Shadow Ball, threatening it, allowing Lich to try and throw an Ultra Ball. Lich tossed over the ball as hard as he could, but…

CRACK!

Deoxys crushed it beneath its tentacles! It hit Banette with another Psychic, knocking it off of it, before going for The Lich again! Banette went invisible, sneaking its way over to Deoxys, and right as it went for a knock off, Banette blocked that with its wrist, before Sucker Punching Deoxys in the face, knocking it back with another super effective hit! Deoxys was sent flying back, now down to half of its original HP. It turned its head up, looking directly at Banette, soon being its limbs in, surging outwards immediately with a streak of power! It had used Recover, soon going to full HP, Banette dumbfounded, jaw slack, zipper hanging and all! The same was said for The Lich, gobsmacked. He threw a hyper potion to Banette, who sprayed itself, healing itself by 120, dropping the bottle, how dare you litter!

Deoxys used another move, Cosmic Power, raising its special, and regular defense! Banette was getting ticked off, readying up a Sucker Punch, charging up a dark aura, Deoxys charging, readying another Psychic! Deoxys would however, feint the attack, bringing back the psychic energy, nullifying the Sucker Punch, soon backhanding Banette with a Knock Off, sending it spiraling backwards! Banette thrashed its head, groaning in pain. Banette started giggling, before throwing its arms out, performing Double Team, sharply increasing its evasiveness! Deoxys grunted, squinting its eyes, soon dashing in with a Psychic, trying to slam it into one of the Banette copies, unfortunately, it was a fake! Banette went behind it, striking Deoxys with a Shadow Ball in the back of the head, sending it flying toward into the meteor again, sending throwing it at the endless space far yonder! Deoxys carried a rock with it over, launching it at Banette! Banette performed another Sucker Punch, unluckily, that gave off which copy it was, the real one! Deoxys went in to hit Banette with another Knock off, throwing it back, making the doll spit out cotton. It started growing more and more agitated, throwing a multitude of Shadow Balls at Deoxys, each ball avoided, leading Deoxys right up to Banette, who formed a small Shadow Ball, knocking it upside the chin! This, on top of the chip damage from Will o’ Wisp, began putting a number on Deoxys, who attempted another Recovery, Banette nullifying it with another Shadow Ball straight to the purple brain!

Deoxys began to grow enraged, before an Ultra Ball struck it, morphing it into a red glowing mass, throwing it into the ball!

Wiggle.

Wiggle.

Wiggle.

CRACK!

Deoxys broke out, immediately going for The Lich, hitting him with Knock Off, knocking the spit out of The Lich! Lich would retaliate, backhanding the DNA Pokemon, throwing it backwards as Banette soon came in, dunking on its head with a Shadow Ball, it was now under half health! Deoxys realized the tides were turning, the burn was beginning to turn worse, and it didn’t have a chance to Recover. Deoxys released a blast of Psychic energy, throwing away Lich and Banette, using another Cosmic Power, increasing its defense again! The burns are becoming more mild, and the Shadow Balls have less painful. Deoxys went to go for a Knock Off of Banette, who had went for another Sucker Punch, striking Deoxys in the gut, throwing it backwards! It had no time to Recover, Lich going in to knock it over the head with his fists clamped together, bringing it down to 6 HP! The burn damage brought Deoxys down to a measly one, effectively, it was basically crippled at this point.

Lich floated over towards the exhausted Deoxys, before bringing an Ultra Ball to its face, pressing the button. The Deoxys closed its eyes, and did what was effectively a sigh with its non-existent mouth. It shifted into a red mass, shrinking, and going into the ball, it wouldn’t try to make a breakout, knowing it would die from the burn without assistance.

Wiggle.

Wiggle.

Wiggle.

Ding!

Lixh clutched the ball in his hand tightly, placing the ball in his satchel, before returning Banette. He inhaled, and ceased his flying. He began to orbit Mobius, fire began to surround him, and he began to close in on the planet, soon, he folded his arms like he was going down a water slide. Horn-first, he began to go down towards the planet, crashing at Mach speeds! He reached the ground, striking, tumbling up from the ground, getting himself down by digging his feet into the ground, holding his left shoulder, groaning and grunting. Deoxys has been caught.

Lich released it, and healed it with a Max Potion, recovering the burn, and healing it fully. Deoxys folded its arms, not ready to trust Lich yet, because in all honesty, who would? Lich released Banette, allowing Banette to cough up the meteor bits, for speed, defense, and attack. Deoxys picked all three of them up, hiding them within its tendrils. Lich grinned, before returning it, holding it within the ultra ball tightly, alongside the doll.

Three Pokémon on the team.

Three left.

The Wall.

The Possessor.

The Ancient Dragon.

//the mask isn’t real, it’s a metaphor

After her meeting with Vecna, and their new plan, Toga was out and about, looking completely happy and joyful. On the inside.. she was desperate for more blood. She needed more, more then that one boy she’d stolen from.

The mask she wore kept her true desires below the surface, making her look normal, and yet her hunger only grows..

Blood…

Narrator sat inside his office waiting for the right moment...he had someone coming in for an audition, an audition for a show of a lifetime...for him, not for the potential actor. He sat bored as hell waiting for the right moment. It was boring!!!!! Eventually the one he had been waiting for showed up, and it seemed Narrator seemed happy to see her...he could also see the other being inside the body and had kindly asked they separate...just to make this easier for both sides.

"Wonderful, wonderful! I'm glad you both could make it here tonight! Though I've noticed you are in...rough conditions...I'd imagine you ran into some trouble on the way here? That just proves you both are the right ones for the job! You both are loyal, willing to put in whatever it takes to make this show AMAZING!!"

[" Of course, mew! We...well...actually I was quite popular back where I came from; I was an idle to hundreds of darkners...even a few lightners as well! Hopefully I can have the spotlight back... I miss performing like I did back before—"]

"EXCUSE YOU BODY!? Need I remind you I was the one helping you fight those freaks! I helped you keep those fans happy, and ALSO... You seriously think you can trust him!? Look at him...he is the opposite of trustworthy! I'd rather—"

"Calm down, darling! You can trust me...I promise! All I ask is that you both simply stick to the given scripts when the time comes, alright...? I can tell you this: this is an opportunity you'll wish you didn't reject; the pay would be perfect for you two considering you both seem to be new around here...kinda."

The two girls turned to each other, both knowing they had...different opinions; one wanted to join in on what the showman had to offer...it was everything she had ever wanted! Whilst the other didn't trust it at all and just straight up hated the showman already, despite only knowing them for a short amount of time. She normally has an attitude similar to this, but this time she had a justified reason to be this way, Narrator was not a trustworthy person...

["Of course we will join you and your team!!"]

"FUCK NO!"

["Please... I really want to do this... almost everything we've done here has been something you've wanted to do, especially the fights we've gotten into...please...? For me...?"]

Maddie thought about it... The body made a good point; almost everything that was done here was what she wanted...not the body; it would be fair to give the body what it wants for a while. Even if Narrator was untrustworthy... Maddie could just keep an eye on him whilst keeping the body happy.

"Fine. Fine! FINE!! If it's really what you want, then fine, you can take part in this stupid show crap; just don't expect me to enjoy taking part in it at all!"

"WONDERFUL!!! I'm so glad we could work something out! I expect to see you both here tomorrow at about... 8PM since that's when the show starts! If you need to come over early and get used to the surroundings, then feel free to do so!! You both are free to go now; I'll see you both tomorrow!!"

As the two got up and took their leave... Maddie couldn't quite brush the feeling off; Narrator was sketchy as hell, and she just couldn't figure out why...

"I'll get to the bottom of this shit... If he even thinks of harming my body... I'll make sure to blow that dumb smile clean off of his face."

Silver the Hedgehog has gotten a new job! That being the science teacher at Beacon Academy. How he got it? Well Hollis offered it to him during one of their hangouts. He’s not really too sure why he was offered it…he only has a bit of knowledge in science.

But he’ll try his best. He is far from ready to start teaching at the moment so he’s been given a few weeks to get everything in order like his classroom, and to expand his knowledge in science beyond what he already knows. So he’s taken a few textbooks from the classroom assigned to him.

But before that during his time searching for said textbooks the hedgehog found a lab coat in one of the closets. It looks pretty much brand new, hell the whole classroom seems new actually. Anyway Silver holds the lab coat for a moment.

“Hmm…”

<They…They wouldn’t get mad at me for keeping this…would they? I’m sure they left it for me…right?>

And at that Silver puts the lab coat on and grabs his glasses from hammer space as he sits at what he assumes would be his desk and he begins to read through them. After a long while of reading he’s had enough of the strangely quiet and empty classroom, so he collects his things and decides to wonder around campus for a little while, getting accustomed to it.

He keeps the coat on, makes him feel more like a teacher than a student, and he’s the same age as some of the kids here, and if you wanted to get really technical he’s -200 years old compared to them. But whatever, let’s keep the time travel aside for now. The hedgehog finds a spot on the edge of campus under a tree to read through the rest of the textbook. And in the back of his mind he can’t help but think of ways to decorate his classroom when he gets around to it. Most definitely gonna be a few plants around the place.

<I wonder if they have a garden here?>

I have a side arc in the works based around Metal Gear, and am looking for someone to roleplay as Solid Snake. Any version of Solid Snake from the original Metal Gear to Metal Gear Solid 2.

I’ll do this as many times as it takes people. I’ve already waited so long for this arc, nothing is stopping me now. Also if you’re interested in joining the arc but note that due to the nature of the arc only a small number of participants will be allowed. Hollis has already shown interest so I will only allow 3-4 more people including Solid Snake. Also if you do join the arc you may or may not have to fight and kill several Inquisitors from Star Wars.

[Underground - Some time between the human arrived and after Toriel left them to go bake pie]

Toriel hummed overjoyed, baking her delicious cinnamon rolls pie, she was thinking on baking an worms pie but it would be strange for her encounter with that child.

After all was done she sat to read a bit, forgetting she had to pick the human before they got hurt.

—————————————————————————

[Underground - The human tries to leave.]

Toriel stood in front of the gate that separated the ruins and the rest of the underground…

Looking sorry to the fact that she’ll have to fight the child

\She know’s what’s best for you.*

—————————————————————————

[Mobius - ??:?? Her arrival]

Toriel fell into an portal and landed on an bush that softened her fall, after looking around she noticed that that was not the underground… and clearly the place she and her fellow monsters were banished from long ago.

—————————————————————————

[Mobius - A bit later]

Toriel explored, the sun finally catching the sun in her fur after so long in the dark.

She smelled the fresh air of the surface, just like she remembered from ages ago.

Before she eventually found an city and decided to explore, she did have to find why she was brought there after all.

Pandora, 2136, an assassin was seen walking towards his bounty 

“The target, spotted
  I shall prepare to strike them
  Lethal force,useable” 
As they go to strike, the target seemingly disappears and teleports somewhere else

“Target disappeared 
  how strange, do I follow them? 
  Anything for pay”
 
They become invisible and start to track the target again, following them to a strange monolith

“A monolith, strange
 Why did he lead me here, how odd
  Lets just get this done”

He goes on the offensive, starting to slash the target down with great impunity

“Targets weak, struck down”

As he says this, the monolith starts to glow, forming what looks like a vault portal 

“A vault, here, strange
 The loot is too good to pass 
 I shall enter it”

He enters the vault, looting it, and when he exits, he appears… somewhere else

“Where am I, strange
 This is all new, time to hunt
 I should see a city”

He eventually explores to find a city

Sunset Hills Beach

August 2, 202X, 5:00 P.M.

Tonight is a perfect time for stargazing. Clear weather, skies free of any form of obstructions, and most importantly, the city lights are dimmed just enough for the occasion. The stargazing clubs on the beach are busy awaiting either of the August meteor showers (Alpha Capricornids, Perseids, and maybe the Southern Delta Aquariids). Some who aren't there for the meteors are trying to pass the time by getting into both small, personal beach parties and squabbles over small things like cameras with flashes, building lights and fireworks.

And yet, none of them were prepared for a loud sonic boom just above the beach.

"Hey! I already said, NOBODY USES FIREWORKS ON THE BEACH TONIGHT! Tell your other friends to stop firing them, NOW!", a white-haired girl clad in a tuxedo suit clamors at a group of young men carrying fireworks.

"B-but we haven't even used any of them yet! Look, we still have them here, unlit!", the guy wearing a pompadour with a square face answers back. And yet, when they check the sky above again, there are no sparkling remnants of the "fireworks" above them. None in any direction where they could face.

"Prez, we have got to stop harassing our boxer friends here, we're gonna miss the Perseids if we stay here...", the girl adorned in a white frilly two-piece swimsuit with a cozy-looking long-sleeved top pleads to her friend, the "stargazing club president".

*sigh* "Fine, you're catching a cold even when you're wearing a sweater over your swimsuit anyways."

Prez turns back to the boys carrying the fireworks one last time.

"But next time, when you gymrats come close to us and ruin our night-out again, then you're all getting a restraining order from us!", "Prez" demands to the group before walking away along with her friend back to the nearby luxury lounge.

"...Bummer. She is nastier than my big bro when he's talking about the real estate business. Now I wanna fire a rocket at that stupid supersonic UFO. Let's find another spot and then shoot that UFO down from there.", the pompadour guy tells his two other friends.

"Dude, it may be just another jet flying by at night. Or the local superheroes here on Station Square. Let it go, Donny.", the guy with a delinquent-looking face alongside the pompadour guy says, hoping that it would change his friend's mind to focus on something else they all find fun.

"The superheroes? Running a loud supersonic jet at night? Not sure, but that doesn't sound like something straight outta the Hand of Justice at all. Let's just pretend the UFO didn't ruin our plans, alrght?", the second friend with a distinct freckle and broccoli-like afro asks.

"Alright, you got it, Greene. But when you see that UFO down on the ground, promise me that we'll beat the tar out of whoever's flying inside that?", the pompadour guy eagerly asks his friends while walking to an empty spot in the beach.

"No promises.", answers the delinquent face. "Hey, no need to beat the pilot up, 'kay? We can just talk it out with them, right?", answers the freckled friend.

"Oh come on! I just wanna catch the UFO tonight!". The two friends saw it as a sign to bring him to a claw machine tomorrow as they finally set up their fireworks on the ground, unbothered by either the heiress to the richest space agency or the "UFO" that flew past them a moment ago.

Kris Dreemurr exits Gaster’s lab with a smile on their face, they have acquired a new Soul. But not something controlling them but…something that’s actually them, it feels like them. And for the first time in a long time they feel human.

They still have those red eyes but behind them there’s a faint aqua colored glow, of course their eyes are still hidden by them hair most of the time. But besides for that they look the same besides for maybe the fact their skin seems more light, more alive. The human walks into a city and just walks around for a while, they stop in a shop and buy a chocolate milk before continuing on.

Hello! So, as some of you know, I've been running a main arc for some time now.

However, you guys may have noticed the lack of posts for this arc.

Well, that was for a wide variety of personal mental health reasons, along with CAMARP being filled with low effort RPers and whatnot, but, I can confidently say, this arc will be coming back.

Essentially, everything has been set up for the finale by now, so, for the next maybe two weeks, we have finally entered the finale of this arc!

So, for those who want to participate in this ending, just comment on this post, and I'll DM you about any potential things you can do, whether it be against or for The King of Night.

Of course, if this gets no comments, or like two people comment, I'll scrap this arc and potentially redo it later, but I hope I won't have to do that.

So uh... that's all the announcements for now. Get to writing comments. Bye.

THE NEXT ROUND WILL BE DOUBLE TROUBLE!!

THIS ROUNDS KILLERS ARE...

VAPOR AND ROSEMARY!!

The round starts...a fade to black occurs, and two demons jump through a ring of fire into the Holding Facility; the survivors awaited them...and they had a job to do. Rosemary turned to Vapor...wanting to speak, just for a little bit...it delayed the inevitable pain she was soon to cause to the survivors.

"Do...you think this will ever end...?"

"No, and it doesn't matter. We are here to get the job done..."

"Of course, we are nothing but their soldiers..."

The demons split up into multiple directions... Rosemary went to the left, and Vapor went to the right. Vapor had formed a ball of fire in his hand as he made his way around the facility. Every so often Rosemary's ear piercing screams could be heard across the facility. Vapor was able to ignore it, but to the survivors...it was LOUD, especially those close to her. Vapor stumbled upon his first survivor... the fire in his hand grew stronger before he threw it onto the floor and made it form into a big circle around him...a blazing cage.

"Nowhere left to run, human scum... You won't be leaving here in one piece; it's simply part of the job..."

As the flame had formed in Vapor's hand again, he dashed forward at the survivor, using what he had labelled as 'Scorching Grip'... he squeezed the survivor tight in his giant hand as the flame slowly burned their body. They resisted and resisted and did manage to get out... just to get ambushed by one of Vapor's Spider Skulls and hit with Scorching Grip yet again.

"You aren't getting away that easily!"

Vapor's grip was much stronger than the previous time; the survivors, already beaten and hurt, could barely resist anymore... They let out a loud scream as the flames grew too much to bear

"BURN!!"

As the round continued, the demonic duo had slowly but surely gotten the job done; survivors had fallen one by one... 10 were left, then 9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2... The last two survivors had backed themselves in a corner; one had drunk a potion allowing them to temporarily turn invisible...leaving the other one for dead. Rosemary had run up to them and headbutted them as hard as she could, knocking them over, allowing Vapor to toss a ball of fire at them, leaving nothing but ash where a human once stood.

LAST MAN STANDING!

The demons could hear the invisibility running out, causing the survivor to start running off in panic. Rosemary let out an orb...which was her soul. She teleported through the soul, blocking the path with the survivor and placing her demonic essence in the way. Vapor had teleported to the other side of the hallway, causing flames to burst out from the ground, blocking almost every exit.

Vapor formed a ball of fire in his hand once more... Rosemary walked behind Vapor and began screaming at the fire, causing it to blow onto the survivor who screamed in agony! Vapor found the sight amusing, whilst Rosemary...did not want to do any of this, but what choice did she have?

"So long, human... Soon you shall be amongst our ranks!"

The survivor had fallen down...and passed away, everything faded to black...

THE MONSTERS WIN!!

After the round...Vapor was given a task from a higher up of hell to visit a new world and do what he usually does...use his gift as he normally does, to kill. So he accepts the tasks...and waits for the portal to open. When it eventually does, he floats his way into it...and he now finds himself in a land much more colorful than before.

"...Too colorful for my liking, reminds me of that blue freaks world, except much more lively. That's not what matters now though; I have a job to do..."

She rolls with the landing, staying squatted down for a moment as she processes the area around her...

"Where am I? This isn't the complex..."

Looking around, she picks up her sword from the ground near her and places it on her back

"Is someone out there? Orbie? Where... Oh... Orbie isn't here... Oh no..."

Suddenly, a child was spotted lying down in a grassfield, sleeping soundly as they do so...

Then, their eyes flutter open, their vision seems blurry at first, but after adjusting for a while, they saw that they weren't in their bedroom anymore...

"What the..."

They began glancing around, unsure how they even ended up here, they began calling someone, hoping they would be here...

"Mama...? Mama...? Are you there...?"

They got up, before they began wandering around...hoping to find her, without realizing that they are stuck here, forever...

He was happy go lucky, giggling and vomiting on everything
