[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

The Yellow Tunnel is destroyed! Lots of sandstone, mud, and debris are piled in the way. That'll slow the bugs down for sure.


You're safe for now, but you know those bugs will be after you eventually unless you can get far enough away.

Far off, you can sense the rage of the Queen.

The sound the Rock Smashes crashing into the mere wall of yellow sandstone was ringing back with her mind for a while, she briefly looked up as that crack inflicted by them breaks through it, all while she hugged both Azumarill and her Tropius' neck a little closer. Deep thankfulness flared up within Shiva for a moment while doing so, thankfullness that she ended up being lucky enough during this aftermath of The Running to encounter and sucessfully catch a Tropius after the initate shock of the Pokemon coming at them back then. Here on his back, she and allies were safe from what was coming...

The casted Earthquake didn't fail to cause an unpleasant shiver running through her whole body, but she knew she and whoever she currently kept with her on Tropius' back will stay safe and unharmed. Fearlessly, she leaned forward a little, shich was the cue for the grassy sauropode to KEEP GOING, to evade any falling rubble this time - he succeeded.

The procedere repeated itself at the entrance of the Red Tunnel, the only other way. Hopefully this was the right way, the one to lead them further to the lair of elementals and hidden knowledge. Something within Shiva whispered a 'Yes, it is', but she was unsure whether she can trust that whether it was simple make-believe.



Caught off-guard the fae-enthusiast was as she all suddenly felt a weight loosening itself, it caused her to throw a worried glance over her left shoulder - has...she lost Heart? Has something caught him at worst one of these bugs that followed them unnoticed??! Tropius kept racing forward, not looking back, only following his Master's plea and orders to bring them away. ...What Shiva saw in the split of a second, allured very mixed feelings within her: NATHAN, VENTUS AND HEART HAVE STOPPED FOR SOME REASON. From the corner of her eye she realized it was to take care of the bigger Absol and the draconic bat. She...frowned.... heavily.... True, even from briefly glazing over to them she saw that were doing anythingelse than fine, and she could almost sense the threath of doom lurking above them - but they were STILL not safe. The bugs will come, eventually, soon, they need to keep on running.

Shiva has been put completely on the fence again, she wasn't sure what was right or wrong anymore, but she KNEW what she desired for: ESCAPING THAT RAGE OF THE LEGENDARY QUEEN OF ALL BUGS. How it washed over her without mercy, how it hit her raw and without warning despite so many obstacles were in between them by now, how it almost made her to choke spoke for Seikamater's might and power. But she can't pursue them anymore... The bugs under her command can't either for a while... The fear and anxious worry faded alongside the wrath, and Shiva could feel the spirit of success making itself a home within her instead.

She averted her gaze from the others, threw a glance to Valder and Mr. Finder safely on Mamo still running, if Dizzy is still out and running Shiva does recall him now into his Ball, then she gave Ventus/Heart/Nathan another unreadable look. "Treat the wounds if you must, we'll meet up with you later! We're not in total safety just yet as the bugs may still get us, so me and Mamo will continue fleeing further down the tunnel until we've come to a secure place, until it's safe to say that the bugs can't come after us anymore, or until something stands our way. Stay safe and don't fail on this NOW THAT WE'VE SURVIVED THE HARDEST PART PLEASE!" She salutes, before she makes a sweeping gesture to Valder and Mr. Finder on Mamo's back and pointed forward, clearly signalling them to not stop and instead follow her.



-----------------
Mechanics:
Shiva on Tropius will continue flying down the Red Tunnel at full speed followed by Valder and Mr. Finder until they're either out of  the bug's pursue or meeting an obstacle that stops them and needs to be dealt with. Sorry, but can't efford to stop now just because the others did!
