Reiner quickly pulls open the medicine pocket of his bag and discreetly keeps it in reach.

'Mew.  Don't worry about Baton Passing right now.  Between, you, me, and Yang, we can end this NOW.  I've got both your back and Yang's for Clair's next two lethal attacks.  Try and remove Kingdra from this battle now with Me First.  He's almost certainly using a dragon move since he has to keep Yang from reaching Clair.  KOing Kingdra should clear the path for you and Yang to tag team Clair.  Then I can make sure the both of you are healed up after Clair's next two attacks.  If you still haven't downed her after all that...use Me First on her for one last hit that will hopefully KO her.  Make absolutely sure those Me Firsts land.  Kingdra needs to go down NOW, and we need to end this before Clair does damage we can't heal off easily if at all possible...'

Me First on Kingdra!
Accuracy: 6* Dex + 5 Fight + 0 Perform - 5 actions = 6 D6  (conditional will point for this attack)
Damage: whatever Kingdra's using, +1!  (Dragon Pulse would be great, so hopefully Yang is keeping the seahorse tied up enough for that 9 D6 +1 non lethal damage to go off!  Does the UB Aura still apply to this 'attack', though?  Every damage die counts...in theory.)
Effect: +1 Priority move copying!  Fun!

Dazzling Gleam on ALL the conscious dragons
Accuracy: 14 base - 6 Actions = 8 D6
Damage: 4 D6 + 1 Damage

Me First on Clair!
Accuracy: 6* Dex + 5 Fight + 0 Perform - 7 Actions = 4 D6 (conditional Will Point for this as well, but hopefully it's not needed...)
Damage: Same as whatever the copied move's is +1! (which will probably be 6 D6 + 1 of lethal damage... definitely won't kill Clair by itself, but that's probably going to HURT.)
Effect: Priority +1, copies the foe's next move and uses it immediately!
Note: This move doesn't reroll the copied move's accuracy based on what the book says.  Just rolls its own.  And if Clair's KOed before this Me First goes off, it fails to activate since Clair won't be able to take any kind of action (which is important because Mew might be following these orders to the letter...)

OUTRAGE!
Accuracy: 11 base - 4/5 actions = 7/6 D6
Damage: 4 D6 + 1 Damage
Effect: Yang becomes Confused and gains +2 Defense from Marvel Scale when this move finishes.

Reiner has healing items of varying strengths discreetly in reach.  When his turn comes around, he's ready to heal any lethal damage his pokemon have sustained with whatever item will heal all of/the most Lethal damage with his 4th action (No Full Restores for this action).  The 'mon with more Lethal damage is prioritized, but Mew gets the Herbal Concoction (to heal 6 Lethal damage) or a Hyper Potion (which would heal 5 lethal damage) for 8+ lethal damage no matter what Yang's HP is at.

5th action, he'll fully heal Mew's lethal damage if she has 5+ or Yang has none.  Heal Yang's lethal damage fully otherwise.  If neither has lethal damage, then heal Yang's HP fully.

It could all end this round, one way or another...

As you were the first one that had managed to regain their sense after the epic Z-Clash, you were able to quickly darted over to Mew and apply an Hyper Potion to her wounds, completely restoring her HP in the process! (Since Hyper Potions heal 10 HP and/or 5 Lethal Damage, 6 HP = 3 Lethal Damage (Which Mew only had) + 4 HP = 14/14 HP!).

The now relatively untarnished pink feline let out a breathless, pleased moan as her vigor and vim was fully replenished, and when you convey to her the slight change in plans she pinged you with a message that brimming with grim determination! The Mythical being was more than eager to get some well deserved PAYBACK against the draconic berserk that is now your cousin!!!

'Roger Roger, Reiner! Time beat Clair to the punch, in MUCH more ways than one! I'm going to so enjoying creaming her and that overgrown seahorse, and show them both that you do not TRY TO MURDER ME!!!' Alright, three, two, one: ME FIRST!!!'

Me First!
(5)(4)(4)(5)(5)(6) Perfect Play Predication! Critical Hit!
Question now is: What move did she copy?

Just as Kingdra, who was well and truly INFURIATED that his attempted to dominate and slay this impunent Dragonair, was about to let loose his FULL DEADLY DRACONIC WRATH against them, Mew let out truly pissed of screech that drew EVERYONE's attention to her and made their teeth vibrate painfully!

What you say made your heart skip a beat.

Your partner's eyes were glazed over, and a fierce, wild, and unchecked draconic aura had sprung around her, intermingling with the UBA to create an effect that made your eyes ache to see. It took you only a second to realize what was wrong, for her demeanor and appearance reminded you all to much of a Dragon about to:

LETHAL OUTRAGE

Normally, Me First targets the Pokémon that was gong to use the move, but since Kingdra was going to use Outrage, Mew has ended up using it as well, and is now subjected to its rules instead. This means I will flip a coin to see who the moves targets, and roll a 1D6 to determine if she uses the move 2 or 3 times. She will be Confused after the move has finished. This interpretation is based on both the Rule Book and Base Game
Bulbapedia description of the move's mechanics.

Head Kingdra, Tails Clairs : (Tails) .....Clair
How Many Times?: (6) She'll use the move 3 times.
Damage: STR (*8) + 5 + STAB (*3) + Crit (2) + UBA + SE - Vitality (*8) = 11D6 + 1 + Me First! = 12D6 + 1 Lethal Damage
(6)(6)(5)(6)(4)(6)(6)(6)(4)(5)(5)(6) .............

The moment Mew's blank, furious , gaze fell on Clair, she was upon her in an instant, bolting towards the still snarling but.....now intimidated Berserker Gym Leader, who couldn't react in time as she got within range and began tear her to pieces.

Arms and legs were broken, shattered. Limbs were torn asunder from your cousin's body. Her chest area was pulverized and imploded by the sheer bloodly viscous power of the raging Mythical being.

Throughtout this horrific assault, Clair was  howling.....no, screaming in anger, terror, Pain, and.....and you felt, for HELP.

That was, until Mew silenced them by caving in the head with one well aimed punch.

Clair Arendse.....died.

As your cousin's wailing was cut out, the Sealord violently started to spasm as if it was being electrocuted by a particularly powerful Electric attack, his mouth frothing, his head and body twitching and jerking.....until his eyes rolled back into his head as he slumped to the ground Fainted, like a puppet whose strings were cut.

With his opponents now neutralized, Yang's own Outrage came to a screeching halt, the lordly dragon Confused and mystified as to why this happened......until he turned to look at Mew hovering over and furious continuing to mulched.......Clair. The sight of her mangled up body and the enraged Progenitor.....that caused his to snap straight out of Confusion as they backslithered to your side, giving her a uncertain and way look. It was no exaggeration that Yang considered himself an equal to the pink panther in terms of power and majesty, and held himself in extremely high regards/standards, but he wasn't blinded by this belief to know that Mew right now was CERTAINLY not to be trifled with right now....

You couldn't move to interfere either, for you knew if you got between an Outraging Mew and her target or ire, you could end up sharing the same fate as.....as.....

…..

Finally, after the formerly alive Gym Leader's body was destroyed, Mew had fully vented and burned her Outrage out. She floated over the.....mess that remained, with a vacant, dazed and befuddled expression that was at stark odds to what she just did. She wasn't fully cognizant of what she did.......but in due to she would be.

….

The glowing aura of the M.R. , which had been so dutifully fueling Clair's battle of dominance against you, finally diminished and faded away, the Cursed Arm itself completely intact and untarnished.

…

".......And the clock stops, before the time of Apotheosis comes. While it was by complete accident, it was quite the fortunate one to happen! Oh, I know you will vehemently disagree with me, little dragon, but I'm not lying when I say that had Clair not be taken care of right then.......well, you most likely would have ended up dead in her place. I guess my wretched little step sister IS good for something after all, even when she COMPLETE fucks things up per usual.....”

…..You felt a something give you what felt like a…..comforting grasp on your shoulder, and heard me let out a sigh.

"........I'm sorry that had to turn out like this, Reiner Arendse. I know all to well what's its like to lose a sibling. In your case, a half sibling. Your father never told you, or likely never would have, but about 5-6 years ago, he got roaring drunk one night in celebration for evolving his own Seadra into a Kingdra, and so happened to run into Clair's mother, who was equally plastered after drinking her stresses away for the day. "

"One thing lead to another, and......well, I don't need to go into details. Clair was born, and both your father and her mother decided to keep this a secret to preserve both their reputations and familial connections, but he would do his best to support and be their for his daughter. When you were born years, this naturally lead to both of you being introduce as 'playmates' , and from their a familial bond that would last a lifetime was created. Eventually, your sister stumbled upon a conversation between her parents that revealed the true nature of her blood ties, and from then and there she decided she was going to be the best big sister she could be for her little brother. Her little dragon....."

"This lead to her developing her characteristic temperamental, bossy, and demanding personality you grew to chaff under, but at the same time to her strong supporting, caring, protective, and nurturing attitude she took with you. While perhaps she may have taken it to its logical extreme, there was no doubt that she loved you dearly, and wanted the best for you. She had to be the best big sister for her little dragon, even if that means she has to be a little tough with him! That's why when you ended up getting exiled from Blackthorn City, she was devastated , as she considered what happen a controversy on multiple levels. Your failings, the Elders failings, her own failings.......it all came together into a toxic blend of self-loathing and regret that soon turned her positive feeling towards you bitter and angry.....but never quite hateful. Her personality become even more abrasive and draconic, and she was spurred by these negative feelings to become far greater than what she considered herself to be then: a complete and total failure of a sister."

"She first became a First Class Enforcer for the Dragon Clan, then became a honorary member of the Council of Elders after she earned power and respect, before finally being appointed the prestigious title as Gym Leader for all her achievements until that point. All that work and dedication to improve herself, in order to correct what she consider wanting and one day redeem both herself, you, and her entire family..... It’s both inspirational and heartbreaking, really. Eventually, she got her opportunity when she was elected to be the first one to be sent out to retrieve you for Trail, and was gifted the M.R. to ensure her success in that endeavor if it proved necessary to rely on its power. She made haste for Celadon City.......and you know the rest."

Another heavy sigh came from me, before I let go of your shoulder, and started to make my departure to give you the time and privacy to grieve.

"..................A shame it had to happen this way, but I knew by the paths you were going down that it would only end in bloodshed and death for either one of you. Take comfort knowing that she will be in a better place now, if you can...."

"I'll come back with the details of Megido's Revelation later, when you have time to.......cope with what's happened."
"…………..Stay strong, little drake."

Then, I was gone.
