    "Alright... How can we see where we're going though? We don't want to draw attention so we can light anything up." I answered Fia with another question, I was wondering how she was able to see after I stopped casting static around my fur when I was guided by the Ninetails to our current location

  • "A little thing called Psychic Sonar." Fia said. A gentle pink aura surrounded her, gently lifting her up and onto her feet. "I create a little bubble of psychic energy around me, and I'm able to detect anything within it." She started walking inland, waving again for Kantan'na to follow. "Don't fall behind, or stay here if the dark scares you. Means more food for me."

    Napoleon nodded, although it was hard to tell in the dark and when the Empoleon was in the water. They changed course, and soon they had reached the alcove.



    On the island, the invaders that now crowded the harbor finally began to leave their ships. Carrying lanterns, from the ship, figures could be seen leaving the enemy ships, heading into the jungle. Axenus anxiously watched, skin crawling at the thought that he wasn't there to protect his Queen. It was taking all of his self-control to not just dive into the dark sea and swim to the island. He could definitely do it. But... He couldn't just leave the ship's crew leaderless.

  • (On second thought, I think I'm gonna have Blitz stay on the ship.)


    Luke hopped out of the lifeboat and helped pull it onto the shore. Loki jumped off once the boat was on land. "So... Do we head inland."
    "Yes, but quietly." Luke said. "We don't know where these guys are, or what's going on in the town. Everyone needs to stay absolutely silent." He paused for a moment, looking in the direction of the dock, despite there being trees blocking the view. "...The crew is leaving their ship. Also... Kantan'na and Fia are near!"

    As night slowly spreaded it's dark tendrils over the ship, the Lucario quietly watched the island from his room. A grim feeling took over his heart, as the horizon, once blackened by the dusk, started to be filled with small orange dots and dozens of figures shrouded in shadows. The enemy had started to make it's move. Even the small thunder bird that he had called forth earlier became silent, in fear of what could happen next. "... I'll see if there's anything left for you to eat little fella. Don't move an inch." He said, getting up from his bed with quite difficulty before slowly cranking open the door of his safe haven. The sound it made seemed much louder with most of the crew either in the island or hiding in their rooms. The atmosphere had never been so gloomy, but that was only natural. A conflict was about to unfold after all.

  • Zane happened to open the door right as Blitz was about to knock. "Oh! Zane, glad to see you're still on your feet." She carried her usual bag with her, but it seemed quite packed compared to earlier. "Since you're awake, I hope you don't mind if I give you a quick check-up to make sure this... issue of yours isn't getting worse."

    "Ah, I'm coming." I called out after Fia and with a short sprint I caught up the Ninetails a moment later, "That seems like a useful skill, maybe you could teach me it after this is over?"

    The canid sighed in frustration as he saw the Delphox standing there. How convenient, the only person he did NOT want to see at that time showed right up at his door at the moment he had left! He, however, signaled her to go inside before opening his lips to speak. "I'm going to get something for Spark to eat. Don't get near him or else his static might shock you. Could you wait inside while I do that?" He asked, with yet another monotoned voice, trying his best not to show his irritation about it. He knew that she'd ask about what was going on with him, and that he'd get pissed at first, but she deserved to know the truth. Right?

  • Blitz seemed annoyed that her patient was taking off as soon as she found him, but she didn't want to cause trouble. "Fine, I can wait." She sighed, stepping in. "Just don't take too long. Also, don't think about sneaking off the ship to take off for the island." She opened her back and started setting out several bottles and pieces of alchemy equipment.

    Though annoyed at first, Zane calmed down as he took a bunch of berries out of the now empty tables and stuffed them in a pouch he had found in a table too, trying the bestest he could to control his emotions. He made his way back at the room swiftly, opening the door with the patience of a Slowpoke, only to find her preparing some sort of alchemic setup...? He didn't know at first, so he decided to ask. "What in the name of Xerneas and Arceus are you doing." He asked, staring at the ingredients she carefully placed down with intrigue on his eyes.

  • "Getting set up." She said, turning to look at him. "You've given me no indication of what's wrong. So if I can figure out the issue, or you tell me, there might be something I can do to help."


    Fia shrugged. "Maybe later, for now we... Hold on." She stopped, going completely silent. A moment later, there was the sound of footsteps up ahead, along with lantern light. Fia quietly crouched down, her voice lowering to a whisper. "...Looks like they're leaving the dock... Which means their ship is likely lightly guarded. Shall we take a look?"

    "Look, I can't tell you what it is. But I can tell you the reason why." Zane hesitated for long, silent seconds that felt like hours. "... I fear for my life if the truth ever come out." He said, trying his best to avoid eye contact.

    As I was signaled to stop I wrapped my cloak around myself, covering my crystal as to stop the glowing, pale green light that poured forth from whatever being inhabited it but its lack of thickness only dampening it. Hopefully it would be overlooked by the lanterns' fire.
    "...They're invading now..? What, are we going to try to take over their ship..? Are you crazy..? What good would taking one ship do anyways..?" I whispered back as I watched the passing 'mon. But judging by what I knew about Fia she'd go forth with her suggestion regardless of what my answer was, of course I'd follow the Ninetails though. I was unnerved by being alone earlier and now that these pirates were on the island the thought scared me, plus we'd be safer in numbers than by ourselves

    Oh! My muse is kicking back in, yes!

  • Blitz looked both surprised... and also sympathetic. "Its... It's that bad?" She asked. "I mean... I... I deal with bad stuff too, but... What do you fear will happen if someone found out about whatever this is?"


    Fia shrugged off most of Kantan'na's questions, choosing to only answer the first two. "I don't know what they're doing, but no doubt the docks will be lightly guarded. Also, wouldn't it be a shame if these guys ended up getting pushed back only to find they have no ship to escape on."


    (Oh yeah. Warrior, who is in charge of the landing party? Napoleon?)

    Once the boat had reached land, Napoleon had slid out from the water, seawater dripping from his feathers, although he didn't seem to mind it. "Fia?" He inquired, tilting his head at Luke questioningly. "I assume that's a friend?"


    Kono
    I had almost fallen asleep curled up against one of the many pillars lining the temple's entrance hall when the sound of hurried footsteps greeted my ears. My head snapped up just as someone came running in, and for a moment I was worried that they were one of the invading pirates, but taking a better look at them, I realized that it was just one of the guards that had been posted outside. Although, the fear in their eyes didn't really make me feel any better. They rushed to Adelaide, who sat upon the throne, still wide awake. They exchanged words, their voices hushed, the guard's voice full of terror.

    I let out a sigh at the answer I was given, there was no way I was going to be able to talk Fia out of this now it appeared.
    "...Do you even know how to steer a ship of that size?" I asked reluctantly after thinking for a moment, "I sure don't, not one this big or of any size."

  • "More like an acquaintance." Luke said, "One of Oshan's crew members. Strong psychic. She might be able to help us, if we can catch up with them before they take off or something."
    "I think we should just try to get to Kono." Loki said. "If what Luke said is right, then there's a large group heading inland. They might be planing to attack, and we have to be there to help if they do."


    "Who said anything about having to steer it?" Fia said. "All we have to do is get it out of reach of the baddies." Simply untying it and letting it drift should be enough. Of course, I could always give it a shove if need be."

    "I would be, most certainly, publicly executed. And with me, my family would too. And..." Zane's voice left the monotone, as he tried to fight back the sadness that tried to take over him. But clenched jaws and paws made it clear as crystal. "And even Anna..." A single teardrop rolled down his face. Those were painful memories he wished to leave buried. After all, what he described almost happened to him in the past.

    "I agree," Napoleon said, nodding in agreement with Loki's words. "We should make finding the Queen first our top priority," the Empleon then stated. With that, he began to make his way up the shore.


    Kono
    As soon as the guard had finished speaking with Adelaide the Salazzle rose to her feet. The sleeping 'mon around me began to wake up as well, scratching headed and rubbing tired eyes, murmuring. To my surprise, Adelaide began to walk towards me, approaching me with a grim look in her face. I opened my mouth to ask what she needed, but she was already pulling me up off the floor before I could get any words out. "You need to hide," she hissed to me, ushering me towards one of the rooms that branched off of the hall. "They're coming." I yanked my arm out of the Salazzle's grip. "I'm not going to hide while you guys could possibly be getting killed!" I hissed back, brow furrowing as my ears flattened against my skull.


    Adelaide seized my shoulders, her grip as firm as steel. "You are going to hide, because if those bastards find you and figure out that you're royalty, they'll most likely hold you for ransom or even try to sell you! I'm sure that you're a great fighter, but you have a kingdom to think of," Adelaide growled. I could hear faint footsteps echoing down the hall already. "Hide." With that, Adelaide shoved me into the hallway that branched off from the entrance hall before turning away to face the invaders. I clenched my jaw, blood boiling in and heart pounding, but after lingering there for a few seconds, I shot down the hall.

    "And what if they have strong water types in their crew? They'd just swim to the ship and reclaim it..." I pointed out the flaw in the Ninetails' plan, "Pokémon like that can really move when they're in the water."
