Holiday Feast

"Don't go," Tenshii warned. "Narakun isn't easily beaten. She also knows when an opponent is stronger than her. She won't stay if she know's she's going to die."

Probably, Tenshii silently added to the last sentence.

Pyrex turned off the phone.

"We have trouble, right here. He knows where I am. And he's already here. Narakun doesn't know them..."

"I'll go." Roan said. "I am capable of counteracting other's powers. He'll have a much harder time killing me than he will anyone else. Everyone else stay here until further notice. Durandal and Wulf will explain the situation with Jaffar."

"Narakun can take care of herself. You idiots! Don't you get it?! They want you to go to them," Tenshii growled. "If anyone needs to go, then I will, but you don't even know Narakun," she said to Durandal.

"I'm not the one with the idea..." Durandal said.

But it was too late. Roan had gone off to the Raikou Girl's Dorm.

"Well, we might as well try to stop Jaffar. Any ideas?" Durandal sighed.

"Honestly..." Natsuki sighed. Her and Aima here standing side by side, as if appearing from nowhere. "We can't even get a moment's peace."

She locked eyes with Durandal. "Which Pokémon is Jaffar an incarnation of?" She said, seeming ready take charge.

"He isn't an incarnation of just one Pokemon; none of us are. He's the incarnation of the Lake and Dragon trios. But above all he's also the incarnation of Arceus." Durandal said. "He can take a special power from each of them, as well as another power from each trio. We believe he has all the Lake Trio powers, his Giratina power, and his Arceus powers-for he gets two of them."

"That's troublesome," Tenshii mused. "However...if he could be immobolized and a 1-hit KO move were used, could he be defeated? Personally I had Sheer Cold in mind."

"Defeated? Sure. Shin defeated him. But he would return, and stronger each time."

Tenshii sighed. "Damn. Was a thought, at least."

"If we can't beat him, we seal him." Ryo shrugged.

"Yeah...we beat him like Shin did....then before he can escape, we trap him in a seal." Kaen commented. Shin rolled his eyes.

"A seal? What do you mean?"

"Guys, we have bigger problems!"

Suddenly a helicopter could be heard in the distance. It slowly faded away, they had landed.

"My my..." A familiar voice rang out, sounding clearly over the noise of the passing helicopter. "This does indeed seem to be a problem."

Hitorii was looking out over the grounds, seeing where the helicopter had landed. His long white hair lashed in the wind that had picked up upon his arrival, swaying his blue cloak to and fro as well.

He strode over to Pyrex and Durandal, a smile on his face, but his eyes, only for a split second, betraying the smile to what was strong focus and concern.

"Well boys, what new devilry have you brought to our lovely little paradise?" He asked cheerfully.

"Ah! Sir! I- I'm sorry... I didn't think he was that bad. I didn't think he'd follow if Raven and Wulf came... I didn't know he was so close to unlocking so much of his power..." Durandal struggled to get a full sentence out.

"A seal--why didn't I think of that?!" Tenshii fumed frustratedly. "It's a perfect idea!"

Tenshii smirked as the helicopter noise died down. She hadn't had a good fight in a while, and this would be a perfect excuse.

However, her devious smile died when a strange man with silver-white hair walked in. He wasn't frightening, but he emitted a feeling of power, a feeling of superiority.

"Apology accepted!" Hitorii said simply, smiling, and looking back off into the distance.

He pondered the suggestion. "A seal, eh? That doesn't sound like a bad idea... I think there might be a way to pull that off."

He paused.

"I'd need Jiyu's help though... I'll wait until he's done". He said confidently.

The corner of Natsuki's mouth twitched at Tenshii's energetic urge to fight. Since they were both on the same wavelength, Tenshii's energy seemed to infect Natsuki just a little.

((Yay, short post! xD))

"Wait, what exactly is this seal?" Durandal asked.

Pyrex was not listening to the madness. He was devising one hundred fractured plans.

They didn't knock, they decided to enter their heads.

I will ask you all once for the child. He has deceived you all, and lies ain your midst. Amongst your people, amongst your halls. We will only knock once. Next time we will break you. Bring us Pyrex, or face demise.

The cold voice could be heard by all. It echoed in their head.

Hitorii raised an eyebrow, his smile still in place. "Really now... You're not even willing to negotiate? It would be wiser to do so, stranger.

Why don't you and me step inside, and we can talk this out over a nice hot cup of tea?" He said aloud, without any sign of fear.

Durandal, Wulf and Raven were startled into silence.

"Tch, I knew something was up with that kid. I'll hand him off myself if I have to." Ryo sighed, and Shin chuckled. Kaen glared at him,

"Doesn't matter if he's been using us. We're not just handing over a student like that."

Pyrex looked around. The voice had entered all of their minds. Just a little push...

Pyrex spoke, "I will go willingly if I must... But no today. There are many things afoot! I can't say or think much, he's probably already in all of our heads. We have to get down to the raikou dorm, and with these guys, we're facing imminent death. The best route is to clear your minds of all thoughts."

((I so want to make a joke about Shin or Ryo not having any thoughts to begin with...))
