Holiday Feast

"A Fire or Dark Pokemon wouldn't be a bad addition to my team," Tenshii admitted.

Tenshii almost squealed slightly as she caught Kiba in her arms.

"That's what I wanna know," Tenshii added to Ryo's question as she petted Kiba's head.

Kaen laughed at Tenshii's squeal. "It's good not to be dead-serious about everything" Kaen stated, and Ryo lightly hit Kaen on the back of his head. "What?..."

'Pay attention, there's something going on." Ryo retorted.

"Oh yeah, the panicking. Four dead bodies were found." Shin said as he shrugged.

"I'm not 'dead-serious' about everything, especially not puppies," Tenshii argued.

"I didn't do it!" she said quickly in response to Shin's explanation. "I promise!"

(((Lol. Fine, Durandal will have stayed behind. Only Roan ran off to the scene of the crime with Wulf.)))

"I... Think I need to explain something to you guys. Jaffar might be capable of creating... Fake humans. Morphs, they've been termed. And they might be harvesting life forces... To bring Jaffar back in a new body... A stronger body..." Durandal stuttered.

"Then what are we waiting for?!" Tenshii asked fiercely, almost dropping Kiba in her excitement. "If you'd told me sooner I'd be out there with bloody katanas!" She rolled her eyes. "Honestly, you can't expect a magic lightning bolt to just happen to hit this guy and kill him forever! Sitting around won't do you any good!"

"So all we gotta do is take him out before he gains a body? I can do that." Shin smirked as an energy orb started to form in his hand. Kaen and Ryo glanced at each other, then to Tenshii, then to Durandal.

"Yeah....if anyone can do it, it's him. It's one of the perk's of the plate he was infused with."

Tenshii sulked. "Don't I get to do anything?" she asked hopefully.

"Which plate was that? Anyway, We need to stop his morphs. They'd be the ones carrying the essence to him right now. If we don't stop them in time... Who's knows what will happen?" Durandal said, already heading for the door.

Pyrex stood outside the cafeteria door. His cellphone rang. The eerie ringtone buzzed in his ears.

He looked at it. 555-9001-2332.

He stood their for only a moment, he ran back into the cafeteria.

"GUYS! WE HAVE MORE TROUBLE!"

"I call this one!" Tenshii said as Pyrex ran in. Gently, she placed Kiba on the ground.

"When and where?" she asked Pyrex, and she anxiously fingered a small locket charm on a bracelet that she hadn't had the last time she'd visited.

Durandal stopped immediately.

"What is it?" He asked. If another problem distracted them from Jaffar, they all might very well end up dead.

"They're here! They've been here! They have my number! This call means we're all going to die! We're doomed."

"Who are they? And could they... Ally with Jaffar?" Durandal suddenly felt like the end of all their lives had truly come.

And then Roan, Raven, and Wulf returned... And pretty much confirmed it for Durandal.

"We were too late! HE HAS RETURNED! WE SAW THE BEACON!" Wulf shouted.

"Guys, they have found me. The entire reason I came here. This is bad. It's all a long story. But it will sound like a nightmare!"

"Quickly, have any men appeared recently on the island?"

"We saw one group appear, but we think they were Jaffar's associate. Four warriors and a woman who caught Roan's eye. But that's not surprising. Other than that... Not that I've seen." Wulf said.

"Oh, I've seen someone skulking around." Raven said flatly.

Tenshii's eyes blanked out momentarily as she received Narakun's thought-speech message.

She looked up at Pyrex. "I dunno much about the person or people, but Narakun found them."

"What should we do?" Durandal asked.

"What, indeed?" Came a mocking voice. "What indeed. Too bad the alliance had been made and the renewal completed. Fools, you're doomed. You may tremble as despair... As Jaffar and his new ally claim their everlasting victory." Two men, one apparently in his forties with a bald head, pale skin, golden eyes and blood red lips entered. He wore red robes and carried a silver staff. The other one, apparently in his twenties, had tanned skin, crazed light blue eyes, no lips, a mad smile, and messed up blonde hair.

(((I presume the entry battle ended and Blancandrin and Stella were added to Raikou dorm. Not that they're here, of course. No sarcasm, I swear.)))

Pyrex looked at the newcomer. He shuddered. They had joined, the two forces.

Everything was going downhill.

Pyrex answered the phone, "Hello?"

The two men vanished with a cackle.

"Now, we certainly need a plan. Anyone have a way to stop them from popping them in here to taunt us?" Durandal asked.

Wulf swore. Roan winced at it. Raven was unreadable, expressionless.

The phone was on speaker. How convenient.

"Well, Joel, you run away son! I spent so much on you. But here you are. Just where I want you. We already have your beloved teacher, Narakun, in our grasp. The question is, do you want he to die?"

The sound was cold and emotionless. Like a metal screach.

Kaen, Ryo, and Shin stared at the newcomers arrival and disappearance. Kaen and Ryo weren't sure what to do, but

"I can take them." Shin smirked. Kaen and Ryo held their guard besides him. "Want me to go after them?"

"How did you find me?" asked the boy with the black hair.

"It's easy, you've always been surrounded. Was it my fault that you came here?"

((Nyaa, so now I have THREE people I'm responsible for?! D:))

Tenshii instantly became indecisive. She knew Narakun was facing trouble, but she'd been told to stay and keep an eye on Pyrex.

She looked down and saw Kiba; that made up her mind. Narakun might be angry if she came anyway.

Gingerly, she fingered the locket at her wrist. Should she really use it in front of all these people?

Durandal hesitated. But Wulf said "Wait, we need to help the teacher first, right?"

"Let Narakun go, she has nothing to do with this?"

"If my operative let's her go, I lose my bastard son, my love affair with technology. My money goes down the drain. How does that help me boy?"

Pyrex looked at the phone.

"Durandal, you have to go and find Narakun. These guys are vicious."
