Cheria groaned inwardly. It was sweet before...And now Zelos was just plain weird. "Hi Colette, Emil. My name is Cheria Barnes. I am pleased to make your acquaintance...And I'm surprised you all know one another.

Just then, Rita popped out of the bushes with a battle cry. "METEOR- huh?" she stopped and looked at the crow before her. "Uh...Sorry about that..."

Cheria was bewildered by the sudden amount of people. "Oh! Oh!" she looked from Rita to the others and shook her head in wonder. "Do you know her too?"

"I don't know any of these people," Rita retorted, "I'm Rita Mordio. I've never seen any of you in my life!" Strange...Strangers that I don't know all in the forest at the same time as me...And we're all dressed so differently... Rita started to wonder what brought them all together.

Sadie nodded gratefully and quickly fumbled for Ace's hand. "Thanks so much Ace. My name is Sadie-June. Sorry for not telling you earlier," Sadie grimaced a bit before smiling. "It sucks to be blind. I hope none of you ever have to go through this..." Although there is one who is mute too...It must be terrible to live when you can't talk...Then again, it's tough to be blind as well... Sadie-June shuffled with Ace to the cells.

Callie nodded her head quietly and stood next to Blake. She did feel a bit better with someone big like Blake at her side. Just try to come fight us guards! I'll take you all down! She tried to pump herself up but in vain.

Dr. Jones readied his papers and headed down to the cells to conduct more experiments. He looked at all the specimens before selecting the mute girl. I must find out more...

Dr. Jones looked at Dr. Zetty and thought about it a bit. "I don't know...Is she hard to handle? Or is she an easy test subject?" Dr. Jones asked quietly.

Callie nodded and walked into the cage next to Blake. It'll be alright...But...There's someone... Callie froze when she saw Xion being picked up. Her heart beat in her chest rapidly, watching the guards take Xion away. No...No...No no no no...Please no...Please come out alive...

Sadie could hear the movement of guards, but somehow managed to activate a deep psychic power within her. She suddenly could see the scene before her, but in an eagle's eye. Psychic powers! Thank you! She felt herself want to stand up for the poor Xion, but the psychic powers faltered, and Sadie reeled back in pain. It took a lot more energy than she thought it would.

Kannan growled lowly and stood in a battle stance. His face set in a hard grimace as he watched the walls fall down. He then looked back at Marion and Aeron. No matter what I'm going to have to protect those two... Kannan then steeled himself for what would come ahead. There was no telling what was going to happen.

Mei and Gem quickly packed up as many herbs and mixtures as they could and went to where Marion and Aeron were hiding. "Here! We'll stay with you!" Mei jumped in. Gem didn't follow. "You stay with the kids, Mei. I'll help Kannan." Mei nodded, situating the herbs away. Gem jumped out the window and stood with Kannan, watching the wall collapse. "You ready?" she asked. "More than I'll ever be," Kannan growled back.

Mei looked at the queen and stopped. Her eyes wavered. Kannan was out fighting still, and hadn't seen the queen. Gem, however, had. "We'll get them out!" she nodded her head to Flora and quickly ran to where Mei and everyone else was. "We've got to get out! Let's go!" Gem ushered them out and Mei nodded her head. Together, Gem and Mei packed up herbs and quickly got out.

Kannan looked around the battlefield. He had been doing considerably well, especially since most of the Pokemon were gone now. He held his head in triumph when he realized, with dread, that Queen Flora had been capture. No! Not her! Kannan was about to race over when he realized Mei and Gem were leaving. I can't just leave her! But...But they are...She must've told them something... Against his better nature, he followed them out.

OOC: Accepted!

IC: Dr. Jones walked into the room where they put Xion. He studied her with curiosity, unsure of what to test first. Maybe just her ability to communicate answers? Then we can get into the screaming and other vocals... He wrote a few questions on his board before looking at Xion.

Sadie laid on the cage floor panting. She was still recovering from using psychic powers. Dang...That was...Mentally draining... Sadie then sat up in wonder. Did they all have powers like these? Could they all do amazing things? It'll probably require practice...But still...We could overpower them with the very powers they gave us...

Callie cowered as she got a splitting headache. She cried in pain and electricity fizzed through her body again. Not this again! Callie whimpered in her cell. The pain was unbearable, but after a few seconds, subsided again. She cried, hugging her knees to her chest.

Dr. Jones tsked a bit before sitting down in front of Xion. "I've heard you can't talk. You're mute...When did this first start?" Dr. Jones wasn't expecting an answer, especially with a mute. But he could try. Let's see if she can respond to something easy...

Callie nodded her head meekly, the electricity dying down. "I-I'm okay...I-I think..." she murmured quietly. Her head wasn't hurting anymore. Callie sighed as she leaned back against the wall. Maybe I just build up too much electricity... Her mind wandered off trying to think of why she had sudden random pains. Is this what a Pokemon feels like...?

"Aselia?" Rita looked at them in wonder. "No I've never heard of it before...I come from a city called Aspio. We're all great researchers there! We live on the planet Terca Lumires. Wait...I've never heard of a city called Aselia..." Rita stopped and gave a wide-eyed stare.

Cheria was also confused. Her eyes flicked back and forth. "I-I live in a world called Ephinea...In a city called Lhant..." She stared at them all with confusion in her eyes. "Are we really all from different worlds?" her voice went quiet and she contemplated the situation.

Gem watched as Kannan and Mei hurried Marion, Sylver, and Aeron out before turning back.

"You! If you're going to break her out you'd better be prepared to fight a whole army!" she yelled at the Lucario. She readied an ice beam and froze some of the nearer Pokemon.

Kannan helped Mei with her herbs and then looked at Marion, Aeron, and Sylver. "How...far do you think...We have to go?" he asked out of breath.

OOC: You all are free to join and Accepted! And yes if you would like that!

IC: Dr. Jones nodded his head thoughtfully. So she wasn't stupid, she knew what he was talking about. Not dumb...But definitely not able to answer with words. "So Mrs. Xion, you haven't been able to talk since then...Would you graciously try speaking for me?"

Sadie-June murmured a bit to herself before trying to stand up. Of course with her blindness, it was a challenge. She then walked towards the bars and wished she could see again. If only she could use the psychic powers again. Mustering up enough strength, she thought about Xion and what she looked like and managed the bird-eye view again. Xion looked fine as of now, but Sadie wasn't sure. "Hey, Isole...I can see Xion right now," Sadie quietly murmured to the Glaceon.

I have faith too!

Kannan stopped out of breath and helped Mei by carrying some more herbs. She definitely looked more tired than Kannan did. "It's alright. I think we're close to being out," Kannan nodded his head when they were almost out of the castle. Mei nodded, and continued on. "I hope Gem is okay..." Mei didn't want to look back, but could feel herself wanting too. Gem was one of her best friends...

Gem went to Senshi quietly and swiftly. "You, Lucario, what do you think you're doing?" she asked in a low voice. She wasn't happy that she had stopped and lost Mei and Kannan, but she could live with herself for a while.

OOC: All Accepted. And the twins can just be in the cages talking to others. You could even talk to Callie if you like.

IC: Dr. Jones took some notes and gave a smile. "Now, I believe that you can't speak, but the science behind that...Well...Let's just say that is the more curious thing here. Now, I really want to see what's down your throat...But I can't do that without a little cooperation. You sit perfectly still, and I'll try not to hurt you. Deal?" Dr. Jones looked at Xion. Of course I might not hurt you...But maybe something will.

Sadie-June nodded her head. "It's only temporary. It's one of these Psychic Powers I have, so I may as wel put it to good use!" Sadie's eyes glowed as she continued to keep the connection. It required all of her mental concentration for it. Dang this is painful...Then again, this is a really useful ability. I can actually see!

Callie watched as another electric type like her got taken. Her body shuddered in fear when she realized that he had the same condition as her. I have to be so careful...I can do that too... Then she trembled and hugged her knees to her body. A riot sounds like a good idea...but what if we all die in it? Then they'll just get more people... Callie sobbed a bit.

"I'm asking. My name is Gem. I was just wondering since you seemed to want to take on an entire army by yourself...And surprisingly it didn't look hard for you," Gem followed the stranger while continuing to talk to him.

Dr. Jones walked over and took a small flashlight. He opened Xion's mouth to the point where he could see inside, then shined the flashlight down. Interestingly enough (and part of his theory), there was ice coating the inside of her throat. Side effect of the experiments...Nothing I can't handle... He gently prodded the ice a bit before stepping back. "Xion, thank you for your cooperation. I'm afraid at this point though, I might try something a little bit painful..." he went to look for something he could heat to put down her throat.

Callie looked at Riley and almost jumped seeing that she could only see yellow eyes. "Uwah!" she cried out, but then stopped and could see that they were just human eyes. "I-I'm okay," she mumbled out, still having her knees in her chest.

Don't even stress about it! It's all good! ;)

Gem continued to follow Senshi. "I'm curious about what a Pokemon like you has to do with all of this...Especially since you seemed to show concern and I've never seen you in the castle before..." Gem was indeed, curious. This newcomer was very strange indeed. "What's your name anyways?" she asked.

Kannan and Mei finally made it to town square with the herbs and potions. Mei checked stock while Kannan looked around warily. It didn't look like too much damage was done...But there was certainly enough there to see.

Callie looked at Riley then looked at the floor of her cell. Why do I always say I'm okay? Callie clutched her knees again and looked at Riley. "I-It hurts...So much..." she barely whispered out. She hadn't told anyone this before, and even now it felt weird saying it. I could never tell anyone though...

Dr. Jones finally found a metal bar that seemed small enough to fit inside Xion's throat. He gently warmed it with fire before calmly walking back over to Xion and opening her mouth again to stick the pipe down her throat. "Don't worry...This'll all be over in a few seconds..." he murmured quietly while a sly smile.

Sadie watched this with concern. She could tell something wasn't going to go right. At that point though, her mental energy drained and the connection snapped brutally, leaving Sadie gasping on the floor. Damn! I need to see more though! Sadie cringed on the floor.

"Yeah well, certainly possible. But then...If we're all from different worlds...Where are we now?" Rita looked around trying to gather some of her surroundings. This is all too weird and too strange...

"That's true," Cheria nodded, "Where are we? And wherever we are, shouldn't we find some shelter of some sort? Or a place to stay?" She looked around, seeing only forest around her. This is crazy...We need to figure out something...And soon!

Gem, having nothing better to do, jumped down with Senshi. She may as well accompany the strange Pokemon, even if he was weird and mysterious. Plus, if we do end up saving the queen, he may need some extra help anyways. Gem was no stranger to fighting, so she may as well give what little help she could.
