The Tale of Seven: Kidnapped Hope

[Rikugurl]

Giratina seemed to be rather depressed whne he heard the hopelessness in the brunette before looking up at Shaymin. "Giiiiiiiir..." He purred before looking at the bubble.
Tow yellow plates over his mouth opened, allowing him to open is mouth and a ball of energy started to form.
"TINA!" He cried as the energy blasted into the bubble, making it shine brightly.

"I HEARD THAT!" A redhead snapped as he pushed through the girl's bathroom and stomped over to Aqua. "I told you I was weird when I'm sleeEEEEEEP!" He cried as he suddenly hid behind the woman, seeing the mirror she was looking at started to swirl and some....CREATURE was looking at them.
"W-What the hell is that!?"

Both of them pulled back, staring at the mirror with gaped mouths when... Some...........ONE was pushing through it. There was a hand... then an arm...and--
Oh god... this is like that scary movie were the girl comes out of the TV!
Axel was about to piss himself when... spiky unruly hair popped out next and then a face that no one could forget.
"S-s-sora?" He blinked before realizing that... the brunette needed some help!

He rushed over, taking his friend's hand and started to help him through... the mirror. "What...what is this!" He asked as more of Sora's body came through.


The man nodded and smiled before he looked back at his son. "Good luck... and tell your brother's I love them. I'll talk to you soon."
"Yea dad... be careful, ok?" He smiled softly before he pressed the end button. A sigh admitted from the blonde before he seemed to slouch.
"I know why he didn't tell us." He finally spoke. "It's much like... why we didn't tell him that we were trying to save the world." He stood before looking back down at Terra. "My dad tried to save the world too... and he was successful. I know we can be too."

[Reno]

"Will you get out of her?! GIRL'S bathroom!!" Aqua cried, but Axel kept on talking and the blue-haired woman was just happy she didn't honestly give a damn. 'Course, Axel was fucking perfect who was trying to get the best look possible on her OWN girlfriend even though he was fucking taking it up the ass.

However something made her glance at the mirror, something like a flash of red and yellow that was neither her nor Axel's reflection's before she saw the metal warping, as if it was... being burned! "The hell!!"


"W-Whoa!" Sora called as he saw the bubble burst and lengthen, looking now more like a tunnel like he had seen when he entered this place. He gaped wordlessly, wondering how in the world Giratina had down that when-
"Let's go let's go!" Shaymin jumped on his head, tugging his spikes and pulling him forward some.
"Ah, okay okay!" He carefully crawled along the beast towards the vortex, swallowed nervously but before he could turn away Shaymin shoved him forward and he went falling into it. He flailed a little, being sucked in until his hands seemed to disappeared in a ripple. Behind him he faintly heard Shaymin telling Riku it was 'his turn' but he couldn't see how he decided to drag him along by his collar, the silverette barely having time to snatch up their things. He was too focused on the shimmering pictures of Axel and Aqua though staring with wide eyes... and his own hands on the other side seeming to take up the whole picture. It felt weird, like he was shoving his hands through play-do and paint at the same time.

And then his head emerged and he couldn't breath for a second, until his head appeared on the other side.

"S-S-Sora?!?!" Aqua called beside Axel, unable to believed her eyes. But as Axel started to drag him... out of the mirror, she grabbed an arm as well pulling him out.
"Err Hi guys!" Sora said with a grin as his shoulders were pulled out. though he seemed just as shocked over the experience was well.
"How did you... get here?!" Aqua snapped,
"Errr.... Giratina?" He responded uncertainly, his stomach and waist and then finally his legs before he pulled out one foot, stepping uncertainly onto the ceramic sink before the second joined it and he hopped down. "Riku should be here any second..."

And sure enough another pair of hands were there. This time they all reached for the wiggling hands, tugging until they were pulling out the arms, and a head emerged next with a head full of silver hair. Little by little they pulled Riku out until he too was standing on the restroom floor, shakily and wordlessly handing Sora his bag.
Aqua looked from one to the other in amazement, before shaking her head and snapping, "...Do ANY of you understand the concept of a girl's bathroom?!"


Still unaware of the broken laws of physics going on just down the hall, Terra watched the two day good-bye and hang up. He was quiet but looked up at Ventus as he stood and spoke. "All you Holanis have death wishes." He teased. The blonde shot him a look and the brunette laughed grabbed Ven's arms and tugging him down some, giving him a kiss.
"Of course we can fucking do it. Can't believe you had any doubts in us!" He chastised lightly.

[Rikugurl]

When both humans were gone, the tunnel started to slowly close and disappear. As it did, the bubble that once was was now gone but it didn't seem to bother Giratina any as he started to fly upwards, Shaymin following.
"We have to buy some time. You go find Ho-oh and the others while I stall Lugia for awhile" He announced before he blasted another bubble, making it explode before another tunnel was made. "GO! HURRY FRIEND!" An order was shouted as the little pokemon flew through.

Right after Shaymin broke through the tunnel in the ocean, Giratina pushed through it, his body shimmering in a purple but before he could change, his six leg like wings wrapped around a creature that was swimming by.
Lugia.
"GIIIIIIIIIIIIR!" The ghost called before bringing her back into the Reverse world.


Riku swallowed as he touched the titled floor, relaxed that he was no longer in danger of falling off any backs of anything! However, he was still in some sort of danger.
"HEY! It's not like we knew!" Riku stuttered a few times before he grabbed Sora's wrist, pulling and Sora grabbed Axel's.

All three came out of the girl's bathroom and Riku just had to ask. "Why were you in the girl's bathroom to begin with?"
Axel blushed before crossing his arms, growling some. "She was mean to me so I was going to get her ba---"
"WHAT THE FUCK!?"
A call came from the end of the hallway as Ven and Terra looked at them. Ven made a mad dash to his brother, hugging him suddenly, making their balance a little off.

"How... when....where.... SORA!?" He called as he pulled away but smiled. "How did you get here and WOW! Cool glasses~"

[Reno]

Fast feet moved across water effortlessly, not needing wings for his own speed was driven by wind and his feet could touch water without sinking. He had no trouble keeping up with the bird flying overhead or the sea beast only a few feet behind him. His brothers were not with them, bnusy at their own jobs on either side of the poles. They too could move quickly. Raikou could travel by sky, though clouds, becoming electricity itself. Entei traveled by lava, able to break free from the top of any volcano. Using the heat their elements took, they were having no trouble melting the ice, making it easy for himself and Lugia to push the water further up the surface.

"Suuui..." The blue dog sighed, looking up ahead at where his master was flying, the Phoenix's body like a permanent red haze of anger. He knew he had to listen to him - without Ho-Oh he never would have existed. But... but Celebi... her forest was almost gone, either burnt down or underwater. He had told her to hide up in her tree, that she would be safe there until this was all over but... now he wasn't so sure. He should have told her to leave this time.

Suicune shook his head, dispelling the thoughts, the image of the little green fairy-like legendary leaving him. No, he was letting his mind wander again! He... he had to stop worrying about her... She knew better then to stay... they could meet in another time. Right? Ri-

"GIA!" The blue dog stopped spinning around at the sudden horrible cry only to see some purple hazy like creature pulling her away. the form hardly registered when-
"Shaaay-MIN!" A blast of green energy hit the water dog, making him slid along the water and leaving him unable to go to the mother's rescue. Before he knew it, the portal was gone.
He shook his head, growling. "Giratina!" His red eyes spotted a green and white form zipping past and he growled again. "Shaymin!"
"That's right!"


"Luuu!!!" Came another singing cry as she fought the grasp of her captor. Her eyes narrowed, and a filmy shield surrounded her, shoving Giratina off. "How dare you!" She spun around, trying to fly back to the disappearing portal, but teeth clamped around her tail, holding her back from escape.




Sora laughed nervously as Riku dragged him out, pulling Axel along for the trip as well, all of them hurrying out the door. He shook his head, running a hand through his hair as he tried to figure what just happened. Had they just climbed into a mirror and out of another? How WEIRD. And-
"Ven!!" Sora said happily, knowing that voice laden with swear words, ANYwhere! He laughed as he practically flew at him, hugging him tightly and not minding that they almost fell to the ground.

"Ugh, men!" Aqua grumbled, spitting in the sink, though most of the toothpaste seemed to have become a permanent taste in her mouth. Ugh. Great. Now she's have to brush her teeth all over again and...
She looked up at the window warily, where it seemed as normal as ever. She touched it tentatively, and her hands slid along the cool surface. Definitely didn't bend or ripple. But she really didn;t want to be in here any longer if it decided to spit up her mother next. She turned on the faucet, hurriedly rinsing her mouth before rushing out the door, nearly tripping over the crowd right outside where Sora and Ven were talking excitedly.
"You really think they look good?" The brunette said in a chipper tone and from the way he self-consciously touched the metal surrounding his head, she knew he meant his glasses. Huh, how did she not notice that? Oh yeah she was too busy watching him climb out her MIRROR.
Ven seemed all to happy to to reassure him he looked fine. "Yeah you look snappy kid." Terra added, sparing a glance to Riku. "But how the hell DID you guys get here?"
"They walked through a fucking mirror." Aqua stated, making everyone glance at her, none of them having noticed she joined them.

"Well... sorta... kinda..." Sora looked at his fiance then laughed. "Ummm I think... we were in Giratina;s home just a minute ago actually..."

[Rikugurl]

"GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIR!" The dragon cried as he was blown off but quickly swirled and lunged back at her, his mouth and yellow beak like points near his mouth clamping onto her tail. With a mighty tug of his neck, he whirled the guardian of the waters further away from the portal, down into his world and making her smack into an upside down building. He flew down at her, his 'wings' spreading before his mouth opened again. A purple energy started to form before he blasted it at the other, using Shadow Ball.

Another bird flying around heard some commotion from afar, turning as his narrow, irritated eyes looked for the cause. "OOOOOOOOOOH!" He screeched, seeing a flying pest buzz around the large blue dog. Rainbow wings flapped hard, picking up speed as the Ho-oh flew down.
His beak opened before a hot flame came down at Shaymin.


"Giratina's world?" Axel rose an eyebrow as Sora confirmed again. He frowned, crossing his arms. "How did you end up there?"
"Apparently Shaymin and Giratina are good friends... so I guess Shaymin had Giratina pick us up so he could transport us to you guys quicker." Riku explained but he wasn't done. "And that's not all. Giratina's world is flooding too... and he said that it would only take two more days until it was all underwater."

"What!?" Ven explained. "But then that means...!" He looked down, closing his eyes. Two days? They'd never have enough time...
"But our question to you is... what are you doing here in Solaceon? What happened?"

Axel's mouth opened to explain when... someone else started.

"Because Pastoria City was flooded out... and as we headed to Solaceon, Articuno attacked us. She did a lot of damage so some of us had to go to Snowpoint and retrieve pokemon to help up forge the waters."
Everyone looked down the hall to see Fuu and Roxas standing side by side, a little rugged looking as Fuu held out three pokeballs.

"ROXAS!" Axel cried before pushing through the rest, rushing to his lover and scooping him up into his arms. "Oh baby... You're ok..." He said softly as he nuzzled Roxas's face.

[Reno]

"Giia!" The large creature cried in pain as she was thrown into some building, the impact against her large body easily breaking them. She shook her head, her dark red eyes opening in time to see the attack coming. She quickly protected herself with safeguard, the attack harmlessly hitting the shield and the pressure causing more the the buildings to collapse.

It faded quickly, but Lugia opened her mouth, a orange beam erupting from her mouth, swirling of wind around it and flying quickly for Giratina. It could have easily been mistaken for hyper beam, but no it was Aeroblast.

"Min?" The green Pokemon looked up, seeing the fire raining down towards him. He didn't move an inch and was soon encased in the flames.
"Cune..." Suicune sighed as the flames rained down - how did he think he could win? - but when they dispersed he saw flutters of burnt petals...? "Sui!!"
Substitute!

"ShaaayMIN!" Another energy ball smacked into Ho-Oh from above.


Heavy feet walked down the tiled floors of the halls, feeling as if they were made of lead. Flying had its advantages and disadvantages. Though he was still clearly exhausted, being up in the air, so high that the danger was always imminent. But it allowed no chance to doze at all. Ugh and Saix and Demyx didn't seem to believe in coffee or something because they had none at all!

His lidded eyes opened some as they rounded a corner, hearing voices that registered to him though for some reason his brain wasn't kicking and telling him he couldn't be hearing Riku because he wasn't here. But there he was and beside him was Sora, looking just fine and there was just something about this picture that didn't really make sense. Before his brain could catch up with the strange events though, Fuujin spoke up and Axel spotted him.

And in about two-point-five seconds he was suddenly in front of him, hugging him for dear life. If he wasn't used to this he might of complained. Instead he merely sighed and leaned against the red-head more, needing the support since he felt like he was about to collapse. "Yeah..."

Aqua too broke away from the others, walking over to her weary lover. "Hey, you okay?" She asked worriedly, running her fingers gently along the woman's cheek.

[Rikugurl]

Red eyes widened as he saw the beam coming for him, easily swerving out the the way thanks to the lack of gravity. However, as he did so, another beam shot out and there was a large explosion, making some pieces of land blow up. It would of seemed that Giaratina had been hit... but without knowing it, it was the two beams that collided that caused the explosion.

No.

Giratina was right next to her... and his tail smashed up against her hard, a purple aura around it as he used Shadow Force.


"HOOOOOOOO!" The bird called as the hedgehog seemed to burn, a little worried at the same time... but he squawked as he was suddenly hit hard from above, the force making him fall down towards the water below. Being the master of the sky, he was able to regain his flight before he hit the liquid, soaring back up with eyes more angry than before. "OOOOOOOOOOH!" He called before opening his mouth again, this time letting out a purple fire at the flying pest as Sacred Fire wrapped around Shaymin.


"Rox..." Axel's eyes lidded, feeling how his lover put all his weight onto him. He must of been exhausted. He pulled Roxas closer, running his fingers though the wind swept locks before glancing at Aqua and Fuu. The silverette even seemed off on her feet as she swayed a bit.
"I'm ok..." She said softly before looking up tiredly into blue. "Tired but... we don't have time to rest..." She seemed to be droning, only saying what she remembered from before.

Riku swallowed as he saw how exhausted both seemed to be. He kind of felt bad, thinking only awhile ago he was relaxed and grabbing Sora's ass.
They needed to make heal balls for humans.
Ven looked at Sora before frowning. "Do you think we have time to let them sleep?"

[Reno]

An echoing cry filled the lonely world that held nothing but reflections and two beasts. No one else was around to hear the cries or see the great battle. No one was there to watch as a white and blue dragon-like creature fell from the black and purple sky towards the water or saw the splash that arose when she hit,

Even if someone was there to see, no one could have seen in those dark depths as the fins on Lugia's back pulled in against her body, or how she spun until she disappeared around a whirlpool of water, like she was a motor of a boat. The torrent twisted in a U shape before bursting from the water, water swirling all around smacking hard into Giratina's underside and throwing him upwards.


"Cuune!" The blue dog rushed forward, running in circled around the water, a gust blowing up and swirling around Shaymin and the flames. Instead of blowing them out, they made them grow stronger and circle tighter around the grass-type.
"Min?" Shaymin looked around to either side of himself and then opened his mouth another energy ball smacking into the flames. The attacks reacted and their was an explosion black smoke bursting in all directions and shoving Suicune and Ho-Oh back some, a cry echoing within. But when they looked next, it was to their surprise that the smoke was being drawn... in?
"Miiiiin!!" The smoke swirled more and more around the little green Pokemon until they were all gone, the little red flower once at his side now a grey-black. The little white Pokemon was covered in little burns and scratches but a shimmering green light surrounded him, rippling like water. Aromatherapy. "Don't come any closer!" He warned after he was healed again, his eyes narrowing on Ho-Oh.


The blue-haired woman frowned, listening to her lover's dead response, seeing just how out of it she really was. That was it. "Fuck that." She reached out and without any trouble at all, swept the tired silverette up into her arms like she was her bride. She turned around to face the group and spoke without pause, "We're fucking making time." She walked off then heading back down the hall to the room where her and Axel's bed was still laid out.

The others all sweatdropped or just stared and Sora rubbed the back of his head, glancing at Ven. "Uhh... guess so."
The only one who hadn't noticed a thing was Roxas, comfortably nestled against Axel and his eyes shut, already half asleep despite the fact he was still standing.

[Rikugurl]

Giratina hovered as he watched her fall into the waters below... but that comfort him none. He knew that she would be more powerful down there... but it was still his world. Before he could think any more on the subject, his eyes widened and his mouth gaped as he was hit hard and was sent up into the air, hitting one of the glass beams hard, some chips cracking away as debris flew around him. There was a low groan as the dragon slid down a bit before pushing off, flying around above the water.

He spotted her swimming along the areas that once were free to air, making his anger grow before he started to glow yellow. Suddenly he dived through the sky and broke surface into the water, slamming into her hard before he let out a powerful electrical attack. Thunderbolt.


Ho-oh was blasted back, an angry growl going up his throat as he caught his balance again and swirled around his 'son' before looking up. His narrow eyes narrowed even more as the threat before he opened his mouth... but no attack this time.
Well... a verbal one maybe.
"Why are you helping the humans!? What good have they ever done!?"


Ven's eyes widened as he say Aqua easily pick Fuu up, frowning some as she disappeared before Axel got the idea and he too picked up Roxas carefully before following her. The four were left there standing before Riku sighed. "I guess we don't have a choice. We're still human... but I hope that Giratina and Shaymin can keep the others in delay for us."

He knew it would be hard... and they'd have of a battle between them.

"Well, whatever." Ven glanced at them before walking down the hall. "Since we're all back together, think it would be smart of us to gather a game plan?"

[Reno]

"GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIA!!!" Came a song-filled cry of pain, sparks making the water light up and reveal the withering mother. Despite the pain, her body spun, diving deeper before she flew straight, and the water rose up into torrent, smacking Giratina again and again until it shoved him clean out of the water. It was known as Hydro Pump.

Lugia swum up fast, bursting from the water and her red eyes narrowed on the beast. "What do you want Giratina?! I have no time for your games, I must find my son!"


Suicune eyes narrowed, knowing the attack Shaymin could use on them now would be more painful for him then it would be for his 'father'. He felt comforted when the phoenix came down to his level looking up at Shaymin as the question was asked.
The Pokemon puffed out his chest, looking angrier then before. "What has anyone ever done for anyone? What good have you ever brought me? You blow smoke around that I only have to clean! You have fueled this insanity that has lost me my garden and have threatened my extinction!" He shook his head, ears standing up taller. "We can all hurt as much as we can heal. Those creatures that walk but cannot speak to us... they are foolish sometimes, they are spiteful and evil sometimes, but there are those with hearts that only wish to help, only wish to safe as well."


"Mmmmpmna..." Roxas grumbled as he was shifted, his head spinning some as he laid it against his fiance's bony shoulder. He didn't even bother to open his eyes, just allowing him to carry him away. He was asleep before he ever felt his head touch a pillow.

"Get some sleep, okay?" Aqua murmured, kissing Fuujin's head and tugging off her shoes before pulling the blankets up around her. Beside her, she noticed Axel doing the same but Roxas didn't stir at all. She supposed he'd have to be a hard sleeper, living with all the noise Axel made.

"Umm okay?" Sora said, still a little confused on how he was hear but followed after his brother, the other two having no choice but to do so as well. It wasn't as if this day could get any weirder!

[Rikugurl]

"GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIR!" The dragon was slammed into before another. "TINAAAAAAAAAAA!" He called once more before he was blown from the water, slamming up against a piece of land and falling down in it, his whole body seeming to deflate as his eyes lidded. He gave out a moan before his 'wings' spread, his body shifting as he stood only to look at the other legendary that had come to his level.

His eyes narrowed before he beat his 'wings' hard, coming to float up from the ground.
"GAMES!?" He cried, a rage running through the world. "Look around you, my world is being flooded! This is no game!" He lowered his head some and shook it before looking back at her. "You're the only playing a cruel game. How do you think bringing the world under water will help you find your son? Do you not realize that you have killed others sons? And what of your mate... and followers? They cannot live under your waters. They will die as well."


The bird's feathers fluffed up as he listened to the others, some green and white feathers falling to the water below. He gave a cocky squawk as he put his nose up. "What does it matter? There were plenty of you, there is only one of us! Now you must realize hos important it is to keep the few alive and out of harms way! Humans took my child, and they will pay!"


Six humans leaned over a table, a large map covering it as their eyes studied it. Lines were drawn but scribbled out as rulers were placed at different angles... but all lining up to Sootopolis City.
"Alright... so if we go to Pastonia City, we can just sail form there down to Sootopolis. We'll just cut all the way down there, realizing that everything should be underwater. And it should take..." He frowned, his blue eyes looking at the ruler and counting up the miles. "One and a half to two days..." The blonde leaned back in his chair and sighed. "It might be too late though..."

Axel pulled his glasses off before rubbing his eyes, placing them back on before looking at Ven's idea. It seemed the best out of them all which brought them to two to three days.

[Reno]

The large bird flapped her wings, the movement surprisingly silent since she had no feathers to ruffle. Her rouge eyes darted away from Giratina looking down below at the water he indicated, seeing how much had risen. Was he right...? Was what she was doing wrong...?

A shadowy visage of her son seemed to shimmer on the water, laughing and playing with some of the fish. And then a dark shadow swept over him and all she could see was the terrified expression of her son before he was gone.

Her eyes shut and she shook her head. No! No!! "SILENCE!" Her mouth opened and another strong Aeroblast blew out but rather then aiming for Giratina she aimed above him, the blast hitting some rocks and loosening them so they would fall on top of the beast.


"Why can you not open your eyes?" Shaymin cried. "These actions are hurting more than the humans! All life of the land is at stake! Even those of our own breed - even your own dogs! You are putting them to death."

Suicune looked up, hearing those words. Entei and Raikou never did have a fondness for the water. And even he must sleep on land... "You are speaking nonsense and wasting air. He would do nothing to harm me or my brothers!" The dog said confidently, the purple river cape flowing behind him.


"Speeds not the only problem. We might not make at all..." Aqua said with a frown looking down at the pokeballs she had taken from her girlfriend. There were three of them... but now with two more people she was already worrying if it would be enough. And the weight... "Even if they are the best water swimmers in the world, even they'll get tired out on a stormy sea... and who knows where the nearest land to rest will be."

Terra placed his elbow on the table, rubbing his forehead and sighing. Was that it then? They were too fucking screwed to get there in time? "Well we've got to try. The only ones that have to worry are ourselves since we'll fucking drown." The others sighed, unable to argue with that...

"Mmm..." Sora's eyes narrowed in concentration, his arms loosely wrapped around a small pink ferret sitting in his lap and playing with a forgotten napkin. He looked down at the map where route after route after route had been etched by the lot of them and areas shaded by Terra to show them where the land was no longer. But that still left them with the problem of time constraint. He was the speed master here - but even he couldn't see how...
"Ret!" His little ferret giggled making him look down at her. She had discovered that the napkin was folded many times over and was having fun shaking it out, watching it unfurl and wave in the air like a flag. Or like a-
Sora's eyes widened. That's it!!

"A boat!!!" Everyone looked up at him in surprise and confusion.
"A...boat?" Terra repeated skeptically.
"Yeah! Think about it - the winds will be rough right? But if we get a boat that's lightweight with sails it can propel us farther then the Pokemon can since it will be riding the waves, not fighting them! And if we have no wind, we certainly have enough flying Pokemon to create some until we get out to the real open sea!"
"That's... ridiculous Sora!" Aqua said. Where did he come up with these ideas? "The reason we weren't taking a boat in the first place is because the waters will be too rough."
"Yeah, eventually." Sora nodded in agreement. "But now we aren't alone. So once the boat capsizes or splits apart we call out the water Pokemon and travel the rest of the way with them. It'll be a huge gamble but if we do it right we can get there in time!"

He was still receiving skeptical looks.
"Alright, let's just say you're idea ISN'T utterly insane." Terra started, "Where the hell are we going to even get a boat?"
"In Pastoria! It was right by the ocean and had a lot of boats. I'm positive some of them are still sailing nearby and we can find one for our needs or even modify one if we need too."

[Rikugurl]

OOC: I won't be on tonight baby~ Mom and I are going to go out for dinner and then watch the giratina movie. x33333
I LOVE YOU!
See you tomorrow!
Call me if you need me or txt! ♥

Giratina growled as he heard the female silencing him. However, he started to brace himself for the attack... not knowing that she was shooting above him. Red eyes widened as he looked up, seeing the rubble and debris falling towards him, hitting him hard.
"GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIR!" He cried before more fell onto his body.
There was silence in the world before Lugia started to fly off but just as she did, a huge explosion came from the mess, rocks and other parts flying before the enraged ghost shot out at Lugia.

He hit her hard on the side, bring her down and across to cluster of bubbles. "LOOK!" He cried as he pointed with a wing claw at one of the bubbles, showing a Zapdos who was struggling to get out of a flooded cave. He seemed to of gotten angry and built up sparks that shocked the water.... shocking him. He gave a cry but he couldn't stop as his own element put burn marks on his yellow feathers. Luckily, he flew out but not far before landing, panting and seeming hurt as water licked at his legs. "Zaaaaaap..."


Ho-oh's head lowered as more anger rushed through him as some GRASS type was yelling at him. Who the hell did he think he was---
"Ooh..." He looked up, hearing the last part before looking down at Suicune who snapped back.
"He would do nothing to harm me or my brothers!"

His feathers fluffed up a bit, knowing that... they would be harmed... but they would be able to endure it... he hoped.
He didn't have to worry... for he could perch on any land that stuck up from the waters, no matter how high it was but... the dogs. What of Raikou...? And even Entai couldn't stay in the volcanoes forever. Suicune... he needed land too.
He shook his head before glaring at Shaymin. "How else are we suppose to find him then!?"


At the sound of the boat idea... and the plan that came with it, aquamarine eyes widened as he stared at his lover. He... he wasn't serious was he!? Did he know what it was like to sail in such stormy waters? Didn't he know the RISKS!?
"SORA!" He finally called, making everyone stop their conversation and his fiance looked at him. There was fear... and a glint of anger in Riku's eyes. He JUST told Sora of his fears and now he wanted to go and do it!?

"I...I.... You know I can't do that!"

Axel blinked, never seeing Riku so flustered over something... but then he remembered that his father had died at sea.''

Ven frowned before sighing, kicking Terra in the leg and nodding over to Riku. If Terra was willing to face his fears...

[Reno]

"Gia!!" Lugia fought against the dragon but his strength pinned her. Before she could launch another attack though, he ordered her to watch something and she turned her head... seeing one of her children fighting in a cave. He managed to free himself, but not without damage.

"I.... I...." She turned her head away, her eyes troubled - but then caught something in another bubble higher up. A little hedgehog fighting in the water. "I think it is your turn to look."


Shaymin's eyes narrowed right back, but this was good. Maybe he was getting through to him. "Well you could have tried asking for assistance from the rest of us. There are plenty of the sea and sky and even the land who could look. Could have. They are too busy fleeing for their own lives now." He looked down at the ocean, "But give them back their land and I am sure there are many who would still ally to help."

Whether Ho-Oh and Suicune were grasping his words however, he would never know because something hit him from above. A silvery-white beam that was so cold he changed back to land form instantly, plummeting to the ocean. "MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!" There was a loud splash, then after a few moments the little hedgehog rose, flailing in the water.
"Cuuuuno!!" A blue bird flew from higher in the atmosphere, twisting around Ho-Oh. Her feathers were ruffled and burnt. "That pest. His smell was all over the human who has Moltres. Now where is Lugia?"



Blue eyed looked down at the map thoughtfully, the idea utterly insane... but Sora was right. She knew from what her father had told her in his stories. People could sail stormy waters if they knew how. Together she, him and Riku could all-
"You know I can't do that!"
Or maybe not Riku.

His hope was high, seeing the other thinking about it. It could work, they could make it work they- He flinched suddenly as his fiance yelled and was completely miltanked but the look pinning him down. Of course he hadn't exactly forgotten about the horrifying nightmare Riku had told him, or his fear. He hadn't made the plan with the intention of offending him... he was just trying to help. "But... but Riku..." He supposed they didn't have to go...

Across the table another brunette winced then gave a glare to the blonde beside him as he motioned towards Riku. He understood but... Did he have to KICK him to tell him that?!
Terra looked across the table at the pale silverette. It appeared he wasn't the only one with a fear of water. "Yeah? Well I really can't fucking do it since I can't even fucking swim but hell I'm still going." Narrow aquamarine eyes zeroed in on him, but he didn't back down.
"We have a fucking deadline to meet and though it's the most insane thing I've EVER heard in theory, it can work. Fuck, either grow some balls or stay behind Riku. But you know, in about two shitty days your fear might not mean shit since you'll drown whether your sitting here on your ass or on the ocean with us! At least with us, you might be able to make a fucking difference and save the whole god damned world. I figured that's what you'd want since I was under the impression you wanted to marry this little insane fucker over here." He waved towards Sora who blushed indignantly. Insane?! LITTLE?!?!?!

And then Terra had to say the last thing anyone was expecting.
"That's basically why I'm fucking doing it, so get over yourself."
All eyes turned to Terra speechlessly... then slowly looked to Ven who he, without a doubt, meant.

Giratina's eyes narrowed as he looked at her, hearing her stutter. Maybe they were doing some progress... maybe she would finally open her eyes and---
He blinked before glancing where Lugia was looking, his mouth widening as he saw his little friend being hit with a ray of ice and fell into the ocean.
"SHAYMIN!"

He was torn, not knowing what to do. Should he bring Shaymin back to is world, would he be alright with three legendaries?
Of course not.
But if he opened a tunnel, Lugia could easily escape.

With a sigh, his mouth opened, a ball of energy forming before he unleashed it, making it hit the bubble and blew a vortex in the space.
There was a swirl around Shaymin who was still flailing but not for long as he was sucked back into the reverse world.


Ho-oh looked up at who had shot the beam before he seemed to smirk, nodding before looking down at the water. There was a bright light and then... the pest was gone. "She's in there! Giratina kidnapped her!"
If he didn't know it was humans that took his child, he would of blamed the ghost dragon on kidnapping him too!

Maybe... he was working with the humans! AND SHAYMIN TOO!


Riku sighed as Terra started to have one of his talks. He didn't know how he could curse and swear and make it sound as meaningful as he did. He shook his head but glanced at Sora was he was mentioned, seeing him blush. A soft smile ran over his lips, thinking of the day that they could be wed and---

His eyes widened, looking over at Terra. W-what...? Then, all eyes fixed on Ven. WHAT!?
Even Ven's eyes went wide before he slowly looked up at Terra, little blonde stands in the way as blue eyes met. "W-whahuh...?" He choked.

From across the table, Axel blinked before glancing at Sora, leaning over to he could whisper into Aqua's ear. "Terra wants to marry Sora too...?"
That was when his ear was yanked and he started to flail, being called an idiot as some sweatdrops formed.
