Hapu's heart sank a little when Mudsdale's swift kick did naught but infuriate Brigan; he called them traitors, but what did he expect?

"Mudsdale, come back!" Hapu called, thrusting out her Poké Ball as the rounds launched upon Brigan did nothing. The horse disappeared in a flash of light, and Hapu turned towards Luigi, who, after giving the orders to not harm Oswald, was struck down by the Shadow Knight himself. Hapu ran to help Luigi, but Oswald threatened to destroy the entire team if they continued to pursue the Pooka.

Hapu skidded to a halt.

As expected, Luigi stood down, and directed the team to unleash their force upon Brigan, as soon as the fire was out, at least. Hapu looked around; surrounded by flames, the team was on its way to being fried to a crisp or choked to death if nothing was done. There was little in the way of ventilation in the chamber; Hapu had to think quickly.

"Forgive me for the intrusion, Luigi," she said, struggling to maintain her composure in the perilous situation. "I do not think we are equipped for firefighting at the moment; perhaps if we ventilated the building, we would stave off the threat of oxygen deprivation for a little while longer." Hapu turned towards Brigan and narrowed her eyes. "All his talk of betrayal," she continued, "and yet his treachery brought this upon him. Suffice it to say, we will need more opportunity to formulate strategy, I believe."

Hapu turned towards Oswald. "Venerable Knight, I dare not take action involving your beloved spouse without your express permission. However, I believe it is possible for Mudsdale to rescue the princess from the burning castle, for surely the flames put her in grave danger as well." She held up her Poké Ball. I can release my horse to the upper balcony, putting him at a higher position than Brigan; if possible, he will gladly escort your wife out of the chamber, unharmed. Brigan's attention will need to be diverted."

Hapu turned back towards the roaring flames; there wasn't time.

"I understand if you are not willing to allow me this; we have been unwittingly sent here and turned against you by that vicious hulk of a man Brigan, and thus, I do not expect your trust. Luigi, however, has called us off, and on my honor as kahuna I intend to make sure your beloved is safe from the hands of that ogre."
