Teen Titans: A New Era

Tyran and Steel were sitting in one of the monitoring rooms of the mansion and were monitoring the Valkorians who had just arrived. A few times Tyran had caught Steel looking at him but whenever he turned to look at her she would quickly look away and he would return to his monitoring of the aliens who had arrived. Tyran's passive scanners had detected that whenever she looked at him, the rate her heart was beating at would increase. In addition it would seem to skip a beat once in awhile. He could see slightly increased facial heat on her cheeks at times which he could actually see without his scanners since she was still in her transformed state. In fact, as far as he could tell he had never seen Steel outside of her transformed state.

He could see a single tear roll down her face as he silently turned to look at her for a moment. "Steel. What's wrong?" He asked carefully as he handed her a small washcloth which she threw onto the floor as she sadly looked at him.

"You are what's wrong Tyran." She said sounding angry and sad at the same time as she stood up. "Do you remember the day we met? You saved my life. You managed to take down at least nine of Doctor Night's henchmen when I was still struggling with my powers when they were new. You have all this information in your head but you don't have simple human emotions or the ability to understand when someone is interested in you!"

Tyran stood up and looked down at her. "I...I'm sorry." He said simply as he felt an unfamiliar emotion beginning to rise to the surface. "But I wasn't built with advanced emotions by Master Sirius! The part of me that is still human...I can't...No, I won't access that part of my brain."

"Why not?!" Steel demanded as she stood and went face to face with him. She was crying openly now.

"Because it hurts." Tyran said quietly. "Before I met Master Sirius, I was human. And I was badly hurt both emotionally and physically. I had lost a woman who I deeply cared for to Doctor Night's henchmen one night. They beat me and left me for dead after killing her. When I met Sirius, I begged him to take away the pain and he did. But he said that I could access them whenever I wanted but I don't want to! I don't want to feel that pain ever again!"

Steel sobbed into her hands as she sat down. "I love you Tyran. I wish you could realize how much I care for you but it's like you don't even notice me half the time! All you care about is the mission." Tyran looked at her and for a brief moment he felt a brief spark from the part of his brain that had been blocked off by Sirius at his own request. For a brief moment he remembered emotions like Love and Passion, and the feeling of caring for someone more than you cared for yourself.

But he also felt the feeling of loss, and grief and heartache after losing someone. For a brief moment he felt the two sides battling for control and it was at that moment he made his decision. He closed his eyes and after hesitating for a moment...just a moment, he deactivated the block. All at once, he could feel the emotions that had been held back for all those years since his transformation and for a moment it overwhelmed him. His clutched his head for a moment as he tried to make sense of it all. Steel looked up at him as she prepared to finally blow up at him. To finally scream at him and get everything off her chest.

Instead she saw the man that she loved clutching at his head. "Whats wrong?" She asked as she stared at him as he slowly removed his hands from his face and looked at her. A small appeared on his face as he looked her over and it just kept growing. Steel had to admit, she was a bit unnerved by what she was seeing. "What did you do?"

Tyran continued smiling as he joyfully laughed as he pulled Steel into a hug. "I deactivated the Emotional block! I can feel so many things! I can feel so many things that have been blocked for so long!" He laughed as he looked Steel over again and raised an eyebrow as she blushed slightly. "And now that I can actually think clearly...I think I can understand what that blushing of yours means." He said slyly.

Steel backed away slightly as she continued blushing. "Tyran...your being hit with a lot of emotions right now. I can only guess how many." Tyran watched as she backed away from him. "I remember what I felt like when I was in love, and I'm sorry that it took deactivating that damn block to realize what my feelings are for you. You said you loved me and now that I can actually think clearly I think I can show you how much I care about you."

Steel stood completely still in shock as Tyran slowly approached her. Was he saying...what she thought he was saying? She had her answer a moment later as Tyran gently placed his hand on the side of her cheek and placed his lips against hers and gently kissed her. Steel stood completely still for a moment and stared at him in shock as she backed away from his slightly before a small smile appeared on her face. A smile that grew wider and wider the more she processed what had just happened. Steel concentrated for a moment and the unknown alloy surrounding her seemingly vanished into her body. She let out a low groan of pain as the transformation occurred but she didn't care. She looked at herself in one of the reflective surfaces on one of the monitors nearby. She had almost forgotten what she looked like without the alloy covering her.

She was still wearing the same black T-shirt and battered and torn jeans she had worn all those years ago when she had transformed for the first time. She looked down at the belt she was wearing and noticed that the symbol was different then when she was transformed but she didn't care. She threw herself into Tyran's arms and pressed her lips against his. She nearly sent him flying backwards as she nearly tackled him as the two awkwardly made their way into the nearby med-bay, Tyran's arm awkwardly reached around and hit the control and immediately vanished back inside the room as the door closed behind the two of them, leaving the monitoring room empty.

Next post my be a bit...Risque.

Robo love! xD

Pokemon Colosseum: What Remains

Eagun heard the sound of running footsteps outside his little hideout and looked at the Pokemon as it turned towards the source of the sound and twitched it's ears. "Perhaps another refugee from Cipher? Or maybe someone is looking for you." He said as he looked down at the Fire Pokemon.

Velis looked closely at the boulder and noticed the small opening Quilava had apparently climbed through and began to crawl through herself. She was able to fit through but it was a bit tight. She could feel Croconaw following closely behind her. "Quilava!" She called. "Come back here!"

She finally managed to get through the opening and dusted herself off as she got to her feet and looked up to see a wizened old man with a long ragged beard looking down at her. He was wearing what appeared to be purple robes and her Quilava was standing next to him. As soon as it saw her though it ran over to her and nuzzled against her leg.

"Uh...Hi." Velis said awkwardly as she looked at the old man.

"Hello there young one." The man replied. "I take it the Quilava is yours?"

"Uh...Yeah." Velis said. "I'm sorry if he disturbed you. He just seemed to sense something behind the waterfall and bolted. Maybe he smelled you or something. Again, I apologize if he disturbed you."

"Nonsense." Eagun said as he sat down against the wall of the cavern and smiled sadly. "He's the most company I've had since Cipher took my wife and my own Pokemon. Come in if you wish to, As I said, I don't have often have company and I can't exactly show myself in Agate anymore."

Velis carefully sat down but before she did, she stuck her head in the hole and called out to Justine. "There's someone in here Justine! He seems nice enough." She called as she turned back to look at the Old Man.

"You've had problems with Cipher as well?" She asked.

I'm fine. If it's okay I rather not talk about it....And yes I am still interested though I have no idea how to jump in. ;~;

Okay. I apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable there.

Just have your character arrive in Agate and have them run into one of the two groups. Velis and Justine are currently trying to catch Quilava who ran behind the waterfall and Ross and Tinder are currently heading to Eagun's house to try and find clues and notes that Eagun may have left.

Also. I think this is a good time to talk about Pokemon evolution.

Now, I've been doing a lot of thinking, both about how the Pokemon should evolve and when and I've come to a decision.

I'm going to leave it in your hands. From what I've seen so far, you all have an extremely good understanding of this Rp and Pokemon in general. I trust each of you to choose an appropriate time for them to evolve. I trust each of you not to do anything crazy like have them to skip an evolved state, an example would be like Charmander evolving straight to Charizard.

If you have a question just feel free to ask here. :)

hatakekuro said
I'm sorry for my sudden disappearance...I was hospitalized and I wasn't allowed to have my laptop or any electronics.

I'm sorry to hear that :( What happened? Are you alright?

And if you are still interested in this, we're all in Agate Village right now and are currently about to bring the battle to Cipher.

Pokemon Colosseum: What Remains

"He was never violent, never raised a hand against them. They captured him, tortured him, then dismembered him...then left a box with his body at my home. As a message."

Ross's eyes flashed with genuine rage. He could feel himself getting extremely pissed when he heard what had happened to her brother and even more angry as he thought of what she must have felt to have seen such a horrible spectacle. Cipher was a horrible organization, he knew that much but to think that they had done something like...that. It really made his blood boil.

He hesitantly placed his hand on her shoulder and looked down at the Garchomp to make sure it knew he didn't have any hostile intent towards her. "I'm...I'm so sorry for your loss." He said quietly as he turned back to look at her. "If...I...I mean if you ever need to talk to someone...I'm here to talk whenever you need it."

He shook his head slightly as he removed his hand. "Cipher...I knew they were bad...but to do something like that...I give you my word Tinder, if you ever find the one who did that to your brother I'll gladly help you take him down."

Pokemon Colosseum: What Remains

"And now that we're all together on this, Cipher won't stand a chance."

Velis smiled. "Agreed." She said simply as her Quilava rubbed against her leg while her Croconaw suddenly stared at a specific spot at the waterfall and growled. Quilava stared over at Croconaw and let out a questioning growl. Croconaw snarled at the waterfall and Quilava ran over next to him and flames began to sprout from his back. "What's wrong guys? She asked carefully as she looked up at the waterfall.

"Quil! Quilava!" The Pokemon growled as it ran up towards the waterfall and ran up to the side of the waterfall. The Fire Pokemon sniffed for a moment before seemingly vanishing behind a boulder.

"Quilava! Come back!" She called anxiously as she and Croconaw took off after the Pokemon. She paused and look back at Justine. "I'm sorry! I'll be right back!" She called as she took off after her Pokemon.

Waterfall Cave

Eagun looked up sadly as he heard the sound of running feet coming towards him. Cipher had apparently found him and were coming to finish the job. He didn't even turn around before. "Come to kill an old man when he has nothing left?" He simply asked as he prepared to die.

"Quilava!"

That didn't sound like a Cipher battle cry.

He turned around and saw a small Pokemon looking up at him. Flames were erupting from the Pokemon's back. It's ears were twitching slightly as it looked him over. Considering the fact that it hadn't attacked him or even growled at him yet it didn't seem to be a Shadow Pokemon. He reached down and scratched the Pokemon behind it's ears.

"What brings you to an Old man's hiding spot little one?" He wondered aloud. "Did you manage to get away from Cipher and found my little hideaway?"

Pokemon Colosseum: What Remains

"What's your story?"

Ross turned to look at his Machoke who was acting innocent once again which made Ross think he had been making...'the face' behind his back. He gave it a warning look before turning to look back at Tinder and he smiled at her while nervously looking at Garchomp then back at Tinder again. "Well, Like I said I'm from Kanto originally." He said as he thought back to his childhood and the smile faded after a moment.

"I left my family around the age of seventeen to become a traveling trainer. Didn't have the best relationship with my family mind you." He said quietly as he thought back. "But even though we didn't have a good relationship I wouldn't have wished what happened on them to anyone. You see, back in Kanto we have our own criminal problems. The biggest and most feared crime organization was called Team Rocket. They were almost as bad as Cipher before someone managed to take them down but before they were taken down they caused their fair share of problems."

Ross looked down at the ground for a moment as his Machoke patted him on the back and his Ryhorn nudged his leg slightly. They knew this was difficult for him to talk about. "I came back about two weeks later to try and talk to my family only to find the house pretty much destroyed and a couple of police officers carrying body bags out of the wreckage. By this time I was kind of in shock and didn't notice that my brother's Ryhorn had barely survived the attack. I eventually snapped out of it at the Police station and after thinking for awhile I decided to leave Kanto with Ryhorn here. We eventually made our way to Orre and we've been here ever since."

"What about you? How did you end up in Orre?" He asked.

"Cipher took a lot of them hostage a while back so the police would know not to mess with 'em. I've been looking for leads for a bit now, trying to find out where they might be being held, but no luck. I'm not even sure if they're alive..."

"We've all lost someone to Cipher." Velis said quietly. "I lost my entire family to them in one night including my sister. They killed my parents and abducted most of the Pokemon at the house. My sister was a fighter. She and her Pokemon put up a great fight before Cipher managed to knock out her Pokemon and then took her along with the Pokemon from the house. The only two Pokemon left at the house were these two and they were badly wounded. After running around for a bit I managed to smuggle both myself and these two into the Under and hid out there."

Velis patted Justine on the back and smiled. "I'm sure that eventually you'll find out what happened to your Dad. And I really hope that he's okay." She said quietly. "You ever need to talk though, I'm here."
