[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Your first remark earns you an admonishing frown from the medical canine, but they just let out a *Huff* and shook its head to itself, as if to say 'How disruptutable and disrespectful....' Given you were a hardened criminal, that had about much effect as Fire on Kingdra.....well, when she doesn't end up Burned, that is. Other than that, though, they had no problems with your suggestion, first looking back over at the Doc with a look of distinct concern, then back at you and nodding, and promptly went over to their companion's bed and began getting it ready to move him out. Seeing this and hearing your Plan, Lindworm goes over to assist in the effort with the others, and, a moment or two later, so does Alexandria, looking thoroughly unhappy with.....well, generally everything, so far as you can tell. Of course, everything has been rough on her for a long time, so she has a 'good' reason feel that way.

A short time later, and the whole party exits the Clinic and the NRF in a convoy, with Reiner leading the front, Lucario/Lindworm/Alexandria in the middle escorting the comatose patients, and Arial heading up the rear. Mercifully, nothing mean and/or green jumped out in Ambush, and soon everyone was outside and a moderate distance away from the premises of the once great institution of nuclear science. Lindworm noticeably loosened and relaxed up at that point, going so far as to remove the Riot Gear Helmet and take in a deep breath and letting it all out in a great big *Siiiiiiiiigh* .

"By the Dragon Gods, I'm grateful we're no longer in that infernal place, and that I don't have to wear this stuffy helmet anymore. Hopefully we can all breathe easier now.....or soon enough, after........"

He goes silent at this point, a look of discomfort marring his features as he remembered what was going to take place very shortly. Alexandria, meanwhile, seemed almost incredulous at first , until it sunk in that yes, she was at long last free from that den of corrupted and murderous beasts. Free from living in constant terror and uncertainty, free from death itself and ready to begin her life anew, no matter how strange it has become. She was free. 

As she came to that realization, you (Reiner) could feel a great burden being lifted from her, and visibly she looked about ready to collapse on her knees or on the bed she was pushing, but whether it be the Tauros part of her or just Willpower she did not. The bullish woman gathered herself for a moment, before she walked over to you (Reiner) and gave you a hug (One that was not bone crushing in the least, thank the Dragon Gods!).

"Thank you. Thank you."

That's all she had to say, but nothing need more be said.

While still being hugged, the pink panther speaks to you, her voice no longer tense, strained, or frazzled, but brimming with Power and Finality.
"Tick tock, tick tock."
'I'm ready, Reiner. All that's left to decide is our Teleport destination......and when to Start. Give me both, and the NRF, the Curse Arms......they will be no more.'
"The bomb is about to go off."
Welp, this is it.
"Just say the word...."
Time to end this and that, once and for all.
"The place shall burn."
Ready?
"And soon we will all get what we want."
"Heheheheheheheheahahahahahahaha....."

Reiner gives Alexandria a pat on the back that's hopefully reassuring while she's hugging him.  Considering he's not complaining or in pain, Alexandria might also be able to take that as a compliment on controlling her new Strength a little better...even if he does still feel a little awkward about being in the hug.

'We'll have to go somewhere discrete since there's a bunch of us.  Can't go directly Teleporting behind the Center or in front of the AV.  How about...the warehouses?  It's quiet, not frequented by very many people, and a good place to hide out as Riza demonstrated already.  Should afford us plenty of time to figure out how to handle these survivors and what to do next. If you have any other suggestions, though, I'm open to hearing them.'

After a location is agreed upon with Mew...

Reiner will have to indicate to Lucario that they're not quite done here yet "Don't worry, we're getting outta here ASAP, but there's one more piece of business we need to take care of before we leave.  It won't take long, and a good, strong Teleport will remove all of us from the premises once the job is truly done."

The comments and emotions from everyone probably indicate to Lucario that something BIG is definitely about to happen even before Mew arrives...and the lanky jackal pokemon will probably find the big reveal hard to believe, too...

In any case, Reiner is definitely more than ready to get his groove on again to trigger this ultra powerful Z-move. One Psychic Z-dance and (probably) shocked Lucario coming right up!
