M said some weird things about Vine, including calling him a twin. Was he colorblind or something? I was grey, and Vine was always a blue color... that is, until today, thanks to some sort of shadowy corruption, his scales had weird purple splotches all over them, but he certainly didn't look grey, at all. Of course, it could be due to the poor lighting in this place. Either way, something that worried me was how much he was attacking Celes, and he was using shadow moves, which I knew I could take, no problem. I rush in between him and Celes before another shadow rush could come into contact with her. I then try to use void whip, but fail. "V-Vine... what happened?" I ask him. Vine doesn't respond, and tries to use shadow rush on M, though, I manage to interrupt the attack once more. "Big brother, why are you trying to hurt me and my friends?" I then ask, though, I get no response from him. Instead, he decides to put us all in jeopardy by using thunderbolt underwater, electrifying the entire area, and somehow hurting me quite a bit... and I was resistant to it. I then try and fail to use a new move, leaf tornado. "Ugh... why can't I attack?" I then ask my teammates, wiping away a tear that formed in my eye. [i]Vine... who or what caused this? Why are you so evil right now?[/i] I think as I try to gather the courage to use tackle on Vine. It fails, as expected, and he looks over towards M, preparing a dragon rush attack, as if he were trying to finish him off.

I notice all the chaos that happened after I took that rock throw for William, and manage to sneak in another attract, which seemed to work, this time. [i]Paralyzed and infatuated? He won't be able to move for another week.[/i] I think as everyone around me started attacking and getting flung everywhere. Samuel then showed me his badge, which was also in 'emergency' mode. He then asked me what that meant, and I respond with "It means that we'll lose everything we have if we try to teleport using our badges at this time," they then start to say something about escaping, and I add "No... we all have to face our fears at some point. If we flee now, he'll just keep tailing us, and we all know that he'll crash our next mission if we don't finish him off right here, and now. He's paralyzed, and infatuated... he won't be able to move, let alone attack for quite some time," I explain to the rest of the team... it was weird, but, I wasn't too afraid of him anymore, and if I can take him down... maybe, just maybe I'd have a shot at taking down my own father. That thought filled me with courage and determination... I wasn't about to lose, no, not yet, and if I am supposed to lose, then I'm not going down without a fight. I use frustration on the conkeldurr, aiming right for his big, red, nose, and manage to actually deal some damage... sure, it wasn't much, but it was a start. He tried to do something, but one look at me seemed to be enough for him to stop, completely. Now... if only one of us could confuse, then we'd have this fight in the bag. I'd give them some advice, but it was probably obvious by now, just let him sit there and take damage from the best moves we could use at this point.
