[@Ninian] [@Light Lord]
It seemed just as quickly as the Meowstic known as Relay had come, he was gone. Spirit was used to this by now, and chuckled. [color=004b80]"Relay... as mysterious as ever... but Togekiss... I haven't heard that name in quite some time... and Prodigy? I haven't a clue... I'll have to question him about that tomorrow..."[/color] He mused for a moment, and looked back to his guests. [color=004b80]"So, everyone came home safe?"[/color] Omen nodded. [color=black]"Some, more than others. Everyone should be fine by morning though. But... I do have some worries about one of your Junior Teams... Cat's Grace..."[/color]

Spirit nodded. [color=004b80]"Ah, yes, the team headed by Tzerah's daughter... she came to me with worries of her own, maybe they were founded then... I may have been a little too loose with them lately, that will change."[/color] He said sternly, Omen nodding. [color=black]"I'd expect nothing less."[/color] Spirit nodded. [color=004b80]"Now, onto more jovial topics. Are either of your parents coming for the festival?"[/color] Both shook their heads in reply. [color=black]"My parents have their tribe to look after..."[/color] Said Omen rather sadly. [color=f49ac2]"My mom's been busy lately, she might make it, but I wouldn't count on it..."[/color] Spirit nodded in reply. [color=004b80]"I see, well, I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps next year then."[/color] He said. It had been a long time since they had their group back together from the good old days...

Then he noticed outside Celty and Devon, who seemed to have passed out. [color=004b80]"Excuse me one moment..."[/color] Spirit stood up and headed out to the front of the Guild. [color=004b80]"Celty, if you need a place to stay, we always have room for Pokemon in need!"[/color] He said before returning inside.

[h3][color=ed1c24]???[/color] and [color=gray]???[/color][/h3][b][Northern Prison][/b]

The two looked questioningly at the giant before them. [color=ed1c24]"Did... did he just call us 'Pawns'? Did I hear that right!?"[/color] He said, shaking in anger. [color=gray]"Relax, he simply does not understand our standing with our Lord."[/color] The calmer one stepped forward. [color=gray]"As much as we'd love to be rid of this dreadful place as quickly as possible, they still have some items of ours we must reclaim. If you'll excuse us for a brief moment..."[/color] He waved his companion on, as they headed deeper into the prison.

Soon they were at the Warden's Office, who's door proceeded to be blasted into dust. Inside was a very large Rhyperior, who stood up in shock and surprise as the two barged in. [color=a36209]"Y... You! How did... what's going on out there!?"[/color] He said, but was met with a sharp pain in his chest. [color=ed1c24]"Sorry, Boulder old pal, you've got our gear and we want it back!"[/color] He said as he pulled his fist from the Rhyperior's stomach. Behind him was an iron vault, which didn't even put up a resistance as the door fell to the ground. They grabbed what belonged to them and nothing more, and soon returned to where the behemoth stood.

[color=ed1c24]"Now, let's get out of here."[/color] He said as he held up his own Teleport Gem. [color=gray]"Agreed."[/color] Said the other as he pulled out his. In moments they were encased in light, and headed for the peak of Infinity Mountain.

[@Polaris North] [@floodtalon]
Most of everyone had made it through thus far, and were waiting for the others to arrive. Machamp had struck gold when he discovered an Awakening Emera on Floor 28. [color=9e0b0f]"Well, as soon as Drogo and Valentine get up here we can get this show on the road."[/color] Said Bisharp as he tapped his foot impatiently. Finally, they caught sight of Drogo, who seemed to have found an Emera of his own, and used it... prematurely... [color=9e0b0f]"Well, we're in luck Drogo. We've got a spare Awakening Emera for you to use since that one will probably wear off any second now, where'd you find that thing, anyways, which floor?"[/color] Asked Bisharp, angrily.

Machamp tossed Drogo the second Awakening Emera. [color=darkgray]"Make sure to put that one in your bag so you don't waste it, this time."[/color] Said Machamp. Beartic and Hippowdon were already on either side of the stairs to the Summit. [color=9e0b0f]"Now all we need is Valentine..."[/color] Said Bisharp, looking towards the only way into the room they were currently in.

[h3][color=a187be]The Master[/color][/h3][b][Infinity Mountain Peak][/b]

[@Iatos]
He soon caught the light of multiple Teleport Gems being activated in his sight. They were heading for the peak. He smiled, the behemoth had pulled it off easily. The lights landed just where he had predicted, and finally 'The Master' stepped out into the moonlight before them. Upon emerging, the two Pokemon that had arrived, looked upon The Master and bowed graitiously. [color=gray]"My Lord, we have finally returned to your side, once more."[/color] Said the first. [color=ed1c24]"Forgive us for our misfortune and capture, it will not happen again."[/color] Said the second.

The Master laughed. [color=a187be]"You need not forgiveness, I'm only sorry I failed in the first place... I should have known my old nemesis would return once more, but I was cocky, careless. That won't happen again. Now, rise. Commander[/color] [color=gray][b]Darkrai[/b][/color][color=a187be]. Commander[/color] [color=ed1c24][b]Genesect[/b][/color][color=a187be]. We have an army to rebuild."[/color] The two stood but bowed again once more. [color=ed1c24]"Yes,[/color] [color=gray]Lord[/color] [b][color=a187be]Mewtwo[/color][/b][color=ed1c24]."[/color] They said together.
