That shock from Ventus' side, quickly followed by that icy yet firely and pitchblack HATRED was also suffocating for her and her developing own empathic traits, but to her own suprise it didn't scared her as she'd agree that these Scimitars deserve NO BETTER. It was...new to her however how wrathfully her love was capable to become.


At first, Shiva replied nothing and prefered to listen as the others were sharing their thoughts and intentions, all while making her own thoughts and mulling over how to express them. There's no denying anymore, they HAD TO deal with ''em' rather sooner than later. How Shiva will react when it comes to that...showdown, she doesn't know. It won't be pretty though, for sure.

Carefully, she raised her voice in a serious manner now that it has been decided - next step was actually deciding HOW to approach 'them'. "Fine. In that case, I....... well, agree that we should tackle them rather now since we're having the opportunity to do so with that Solosis - Let us make a plan then about HOW to do so, everyone. So, Solosis will bring us to 'them' - shall we attempt to ambush them for a suprise attack before 'they' even know what's happening? As soon as we're close enough, we could have our two Absol and my Furret overwhelm them with a well-placed Quick Attack, giving them barely a chance to react to the fight. I could also have Lilith restrain one of them with a Telekinesis from a safe spot before we attack, or do so mid-battle."

Shiva's own deeply horrified reaction was hardly a blip on Ven's empathetic radar, as by that point he was so mind bogglingly angry at what those Scimitars had done that it overrode his usual instinct to reach out and comfort her fears away. However, that was not to say he was totally heartless, as he after he glance over to his girlfriend with an unreadable expression, he closed his eyes and tried to shield his emotions from everyone else a little more, to the point they would no longer vividly feel like they were being subsumed by his own immense wrath. No matter how much he wanted to destroy those wretched archmages , he shouldn't let his own fury adversely affect anyone in the party. After all, they didn't deserve such animosity like their enemies......at least not yet.

When it came time for the mystical lass to voice her support in tracking down and laying waste to the Scimitars and the planning phase of that endeavor, the infuriated researcher quietly spoke up in that same unnerving tone of voice to offer his input. "Initaiting the first strike stealthly would allow us to inflict potentially heavy damage and throw them in chaos before they can organize a result, so I approve of that plan. For such an assault, I have my sister Malphena has impeccable Stealth capabilities in her ability to phase through matter and blend into the darkness, Lucifer, who is a cave Pokémon species that could fly under the radars of those Scimitars, and Michael, who can quickly attack and put swaths of those fiends to sleep with Spore. My newest sister Turiel could also dig us a hidden path into their campsite and offer us an escape route should things go terribly awry, and if we have Malphena assistance we could tunnel under individual Scimitars separated from the bulk of their forces and pop up to drag them down into the tunnel."

"If we are unconcerned with capturing survivors, though, Turiel could dig several tunnels in and around the Scimitar's camp to make the place structurally weak, then we could utlize Mamo to cave in the area with an Earthquake, burying them all alive in the process. We would have to be careful not to end up doing the same to us, but if we could pull it off with relative safety it would be an extremely expedient way to remove the Scimitars as threats to us without having to directly engage them. We could also attempt to take hostage one of their members if we can capture one isolated and force them all to comply with out demands, or extract all the information we can from our captive , and deal with them and the rest of his allies accordingly based on what we learn."

That was all that the researcher had to say at this junction regarding the Plan, going silent as he stared off into the distance, angry shimmering in his eyes.

"...Ventus, Ralts and I understand how you feel about this, but please calm down.  Just a little.  Killing the tool users does no good if there are still tool makers.  We don't know who exactly brainwashed Solosis."

Nathan's request was initially meet with the sort of stare that raise anyone's hackles and dead silence as he turned in place to regard them with carefulness and deceptive serenity. After a minute or two of this, though, the research let out a small huffing *Sigh* and jerked his head in a nod, before closing his eyes and trying to cool off his temper to a degree that was slightly less than scorching. While their would be no sawaying his desire to met out permanent painful punitive punishment to ALL the Scimitars he'd come across from here on out, he could understand to boy's reasoning in not completely destroying them all until they have an idea as to WHO did that despicable act. That, and nobody in his group deserved his undiluted wrath he was experiencing for those Scimitars (for now, anyway), so a bit of reigning in his temper was in order....

To Nathan: "In that case all we need is to caught at least one of the Scimitars and interrogate until he spill everything about that brainwashing Pokemons, simple. But since there is no authority to call and it is dangerous to let such people escape we must consider the killing option. I don't like myself, but we must survive. At all costs."

Ventus nodded in agreement with Heart's interrogation plans, chipping in by saying: "I can handle information extraction from any Scimitars we happen to capture. Between my empathy and hardened heart, I should be able to all things relevant from any prisinors without being adversely affect myself."

What the researcher didn't mention was that he also knew several methods to pry out the truth from the unwilling and had absolutely no hesitation to use them on those monster. The reason behind keeping quiet about this was rather obvious: knowing how to torture somebody properly and having a willingness to do it was......unnerving, to say the least.
