As Kaze sat beside Lucas in the Pokemon Center, suddenly there came a large [i]boom[/i] off in the distance. After a couple more moments, another sounded, this one from the direction of where the parade had been. He weighed his options, looking down at Lucas and wondering if he should stay. He still hadn't been able to properly thank the man, as he remained unconscious. It would have to wait, he decided.

"I'll be right back," Kaze said before turning and running out the door.

He ran past a room where he saw Rebeca cradling her Pokemon, and was barely able to note the joy she seemed to be experiencing before he had completely passed. [i]Did she not hear the explosions?[/i] Kaze wondered. He ran with everything he had, seeming to have forgotten that he had needed a wheelchair only a short while earlier. He hoped the terrorists hadn't returned. He wasn't sure he could handle them again.

"Chiiime," Jingle worriedly voiced from behind him.

"I know, Jingle, you don't think I should be doing this so soon. But what else should I do? Someone needs to stop whatever's happening," Kaze explained.

With the help of his Tailwind, Kaze arrived at the site of the commotion. There before him stood . . . Tantalus? Something had changed about the man, aside from the bruises and other damages he had sustained from the battle he was in, but he wasn't sure what it was. But that wasn't the important part. That point went to the thing he was fighting: a monster beyond Kaze's comprehension; a massive beast that seemed to be some combination of an insect, a dragon, and a ghost. Whatever it was, it looked like it was out for blood, and scared Kaze senseless. Not knowing what else to do, Kaze staggered backward, looking for a place to hide.
