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

[Spiritmon]

Then Reiner and Giratina hear another voice. Filled with sorrow and simpathy.

(...Lady Giratina. In the name of the others, I thank you for doing this for Reiner. And Reiner, If there is something we can do to help, dont hesitate in asking...And...my condolences....)

Reiner would might capt some nervoursenouss in Spiritmon voice. Not because of Giratina presence. But because he doesnt know what to say.

[Dragonstrike]

Giratina was gone. The otherworldly presences were gone. All that remained of her passing were Clair's Pokémon and their Pokeballs.

That, and Megido's Revelation that lay within your hands. You felt its acceptance of you as its new wielder. Small comforts.

Friday Night has fallen.

Reiner gathers the pokeballs and pokemon up quickly, recalls Clair's Kingdra, Garchomp, and Weavile into their pokeballs, hides Megido's Revelation away...

He's surprisingly composed considering what's just happened.

"Yang, Rain Dance.  We need to scrub this place as clean as we can before we leave.  Should be easy to do since it's mostly just blood now.  Mew, in your Great Ball, please."

Reiner stands by Cloyster's corpse now...picks up the Life Orb...gives her an appreciative, quiet prayer of thanks for trying her best...moves her pokeball to the pocket for the unused capture devices...(+1 to the normal Pokeball count in Reiner's bag, I guess...)

Rain Dance wouldn't be able to wash that away, unfortunately.  He didn't have time to try and risk reviving her, either...

...

He needed to find Angelica ASAP, get her to cover for him and minimize the trouble this was going to cause...Celadon was likely going to be in a state of panic after that explosion from the Z move clash if this went unmitigated...and the last thing he needed was to be the target of that attention...Clair going missing after her unsubtle entrance was going to be causing big enough splashes as it is...

...then he needed to beat a retreat back to the P.C. and report to his superiors before Mitchell catches up with him.  He could just about hear Proton even now: What the hell have you been doing, Reiner?!  Celadon is losing its mind!

...

...this changed his plans quite severely...

...ah, right.  He should probably try using that Face Camo now...

*fiddling with it*

'...dang it, how does this damn thing...ah, there we go.  Alright, let's make sure nobody but Angelica recognizes me...'

*blip*

...

...better ditch the hat for now, too.  He could always revert these changes later when he reached the front door of...

...

...wait, something fell out of his cap as he removed it...

...there was something inside it? Huh?

Reiner takes a closer look...it's...

(Well, what is it?)

[Lord Windos]

After that strange situation, Arial go straight to the Pokemon Center (The place where that Nurse Joy always take treat his Xenoqueen). "My Pokemon got terrible wounds from a battle against a Muk and myself. I need help with emergency please! Including that Gligar who have the most serious situation." Then he decided to wait for the others get okay. Arial after got some medicaments he bring out his brother back from his pokeball. He simple stare Gaspar from many seconds and simple hug him when he was crying. "Thanks Mutious you are okay! I...I...*sob* I was thinking I have lost you brother...It was my fault...I should have accept the offer from get out of that place...I really have should...I...I...*sob and crying a lot when Gaspar in his arms*. Dont do that ever again brother...you mean the world to me...a lot...I love you..." Arial was there hugging his pseudo-brother, crying and sobbing, like a real cry baby. He never cry like that since...since their father die...poor man....

You hardly got the first sentence out as the Rocket Nurse Joy let out a horrified gasp at the downright terrible condition you were in -"Dear Arceas!!!"- before they reached over behind their desk and slammed a button, causing a whole gaggle of Chansey to comes flooding out of the ER section! The pack of clerics soon converged on your position and, with hardly any warning, hoisted you up  onto a stretcher they brought with them, and proceeded to march you back from whence they came and into Intense Care! Talk about a robust health care system!

All of you were then subjected to several hours of fine scrutiny and a suite of medical treatments to stabilize all of your condition, until it was deemed that everyone was recovering from your explosive ordel. Afterwards, the Chanseys transferred into a small but comfy clinic room you into for you to finish recoporating in peace and quiet, tucked you into bed with excellent care and hospitality, and then left you be. Your only company at this point was your partners in crime (Which the Nurse had promptly returned them to you, much to your gratefulness), a Bottle of Painkillers (Amt of Pills: 10) and some paperwork for you to document how exactly you all got eviscerated by that Delta Muk, both of which were laying on a nightstand beside were you were lay resting.

When you released Gaspar and started bawling your heart out to them, they looked briefly panicked and highly concerned as they figited in your grasp, as while they knew why their brother was so distraught, they didn't necessarily know what to do about it. Neither of you were prone to wearing your hearts on your sleaves or being so emotive due to the comedy of horrors that was (and still is) you life conditioning you to be the sarcastic, scheming, and self serving beings you are today. Never the less, this moment of indecision didn't hold up the mimic for too long, for they soon started to return your hug by cuddling up against you and *Puuuurrrrring* vigorously to cheer you up! Come on brother, don't let this bring you down! We've been through worse in the past, so we can surely make it through this event, *Meow!*

Come on brother, don't let this bring you down! We've been through worse in the past, so we can surely make it through this event, *Meow!*

Arial begin to feel a little better with the treatment he is receiving from his brother. "You know how to make me feel better brother..."Arial take one hand and clean his tears a bit. "Never in my life I feel so much despair and helpless until today..." He still holding Gaspar in his hands. "Lets make a promise: We will never be so reckless was we were today. Ever." He hug again Gaspar a bit. Then he stoping hugging a bit then begin to talk with his brother. "We must talk about something brother. When that explosion happens...I feel like dying, but my soul was trying to maintain in my body. Then when I was in some sort of limbo, I heard some sort of voice. A voice I have heard before. The same voice who talk with me when I was take hostage by Riza and receive the visions I told to Reiner. He bring me back but when I have return, you was dead. I feel so much lost and helpless...and with no reason to live. I almost...kill myself. The despair about lost you was too much to handle. My Pokemons then try to stop me from doing. Even Carracosta try to stop...then before I could say anything, everything change again like a bad dream."

"The same life/death situation, but both of us, alive. That...person or voice, I dont even know what he is, say his name...Volric, The Elusive Darkness...brother, we both see many things in our lifes: We meet a Nuclear Legendary Pokemon in Tandor, a trainer who control a Mew as parthneer, weapons able to kill Legendaries, and a bug vampire. None of them make me feel fear. But that Volric...it almost he knew me. Better them I know myself. For the first time in my life after so much time...I feel fear. Not normal fear, but fear from the unknow...I think you think I more crazy them ever. But I truly scared brother. That guy was able to bring both of us to life. He reverse death. And was able to change reality somehow. He say he create some sort of illusion, but that ilusion was too much real to be just fake..."

After pondering for various seconds, Arial make a decision. "That guy too tell me something before...he say I have some sort of paper to do in future events or something. Along with someone he call "Little Drake". I know only one person who would fit in that description and have a important role. And I think you know who brother." Gaspar eyes problably was bug from his face. "Reiner. That can only mean one thing. Somehow, he have a eye from both of us. Perhaps Reiner and Mew know something about that. But...perhaps it would be better if stay quiet for now. At least until we are able to know what the hell happenend."

After saying all this informations, Arial take pokeballs who is inside there as Gligar and Sekmet. He take a few minutes them he release the two bug pokemon. Arial take a few minutes to inspect Gligar and Sekmet body to make sure they are okay. "Are you two better now? Still feel any pain? If any of you feel anything strange I can call the nurses to have another check up in you." Them after that Arial make a shame look and apologize them. "Look, I...I sorry. I never have should bring you two to fight against that Muk. It is my fault. You three almost die in that explosion...I really shame myself." Arial put his hands in his face, feeling trash. Seeing two members of his family and one new friend almost die like that...Its really hit him badly. "Sekmet, I sorry about the pain I have caused to you sister...I am a excuse of a trainer...You deserve someone better them me...And Gligar..." He looks to the bat pokemon. "You was so cool with me, and even after the trouble I have cause, you still trust me enough to take care of you...you are indeed a noble pokemon. The mostly brave Gligar I ever meet." Them Arial hold Gligar Pokeball for a while. "I cant let you suffer anymore because of my mistakes...not after today. You almost die because of me. The minmum I should to you is freedom. If is your wish, I can release you from the pokeball. And Gligar, its not you shame about what happen. It was my mistake for continue the battle, even when the enemy give us the chance to go."

[Lord Windos]

You metamorphic sibling was frankly stunned at the revelation you gave him. You died from Delta's Muk's Explosion, and were subjected to some horrid nightmare illusion reality of what could be by some Dark and mighty handsome god were THEY died and you almost killed yourself out of grief!? And they had hither unknown designs upon you and your boss Reiner?! Oh by Areceas, why does this freaky, dangerous stuff ALWAYS happen to them?!?! Gasper was now neading you stomach/chest area as he paced around with an distinct air of panic and worry, fretting over what happened to you and what ever the HELL was responsible for making their lives too damn interesting!

Not that it would do them any good, mind you, but its certainly amusing to see the kitty cat work themselves up to a tizzy, hehehehe!

Upon releasing Sekment, the nuclear insect monster practically buried her head into your sides and let out a relieved sounding *BrrrrZZZrTtttT!* at you being in one whole (if thoroughly battered) piece! Kind man was alive and well, and no longer had many pieces of sharp ouchies making him leek blood! She wanted to so badly leap onto your prone form and begin cuddle nuzzling you out of sheer joy and comfort, but thankfully she managed to restrain herself to just simply continue doing what she was right now! The Shiny Gligar, meanwhile, decided to perch at the very end of your bed, staring at you with a look practically ached with worry and regret when he thought you weren't looking, and acting cheerful and energetic when he did. Remembering that magnificently craft dream-timeline, you could make the accurate guess that the scorpiobat was indeed relieved and delighted you were ok, but felt like extremely guilty about being partially responsible for almost killing you and the rest of your Pokémon. If only he had enough self control and restraint NOT to use Lethal Moves with full force, then maybe, just maybe, he could have prevent this from happening......

Both Pokémon looked to be in tip top condition after being ran through a suite of medical procedures to repair Lethal Damage and fully recover their HP! As for you initial comment about 'shaming yourself' , both the queen of nuclear green and the astrological creature LOUDLY voiced their disagreement with you own assessment. Their was no way known that Delta Muk had Explosion, and you only were trying to KO it for capture it for your party or for monetization. Nobody was perfect, least of all yourself (Oh, I know, right~) , so the main message they both seemed to convery was 'Don't beat yourself over this, silly!' The walking nuclear wasteland creature that was Arial's took especial at your self depreciation, as they KNEW you were far from inadequate, as someone that is nice and is almost uncondionally kind to her in spite of being a thermonuclear disaster waiting to happen is a very special person, yes!

The winged fiend of the night, though.....they were silent for a long time after you issued/offered their freedom. In all his years as an absurdly rare off color Gligar living off nature and the concrete jungle, nearly being caught countless perilous times by overeager collectors hellbent on adding themselves to their horde in that span of time, hardly anyone was ever THIS kind and generous to them. To offer him freedom with no strings attatched, even after triggering the pile of sentient toxic waste to try and nearly succeeded in blowing them all to smitherines and/or not safely containing things until they stabilized.......it spoke volume to the little scorpiobat. However, they still felt understandibly terrible for being the catalyst for Arial's near brush with death, and feared that they would only do more harm than good to you in the future due to going wild in battle or swept away by their own thoughts. They liked being around your goofing, generous self, but was apprehensive both by the trouble you got caught up in it. Urrgggh! Two choices for the bat were avaliable, both appealing in their own rights, each having ample reasons or not to choose one or another! Given the look of stress and bewilderment that coated him now like a melancholy paint, they seemed unable to come to a decision at the moment. Maybe a little more time to think things over in detail would help it make what they thought was the right choice.....

Arial felt bad for telling the truth to Gaspar. He simple hug back the little mimic brother with all the love and comfort a sibiling can do. "Gaspar...I dont know how our life be turning this kind of mess...perhaps it was from the moment our father gone? Or it was way before that? I dont know...but our lifes always live between the tiny line of danger. More them ever we need be ready for everything. And strong as ever. I dont know what kinda of plan that Volric person is planing, but I will not let any god control our fate. We will be stay strong and together. As always. Brother."

Arial hug back the little Nuclear godness when he was relieve to know she is okay. "Haha, I happy to see you okay sis!" Then nuzzle the bug queen. 

Arial nod his head not fully agree with them. "Perhaps I taking hard in myself a little, but I should be more careful next time. I have the impression I will not return if I failed next time. More them ever I need to be strong to not die again. Gaspar, Sekmet. Lets be stronger next time."

Arial could notices Gligar was not ready to make that decision. He grab the little scorpio bat and hug him, trying to make him better. Just like Gligar make him better when they first meet. "Shh, its okay. Dont feel that way." Then Heart let out Gligar from the hug when he feel better. "Its NOT your fault Gligar. I should have say to not use Lethal Moves. It was my fault for not be smart in that moment. Besides, I have a bad hystoric for almost killed myself more them one time." Then he begin to talk his past mistakes for Gligar. "There was a time, when Kyubi, the woman who was beside Reiner and she is a human-kyubi, when we first meet, me and Sekmet trying to scare Reiner with a running startle! But she dont apreciate that...nor the Merchant who I have angering and almost kill me. Both of them rek both of us with a strong Heat Wave from Kyubi and a powerfull Double-Hit from the Merchant. I became a human flambé in that moment! All I could say was: "You...dont...know...how to take...a joke...please....someone....call a medic...or a full restore..." Then I faint. It looks dangerous, but after that moment, me and Kyubi begin to hang out a little better past night. Of course not after other events of life/death: Shoot in the face by some kind of psychic gun, almost caugh by police after a failed pokemon battle, receive a pyschic attack by Mew itself (who is the parthneer of Reiner, my boss) who was pissed of after I make some sort of comment about Reiner be popular and girls and telling him to not make some sort of harem...and be take hostage by a bug-woman. All in just one day."

Arial them stop telling the tale. "You dont need to feel bad Gligar. I have no right in judge you in any chance. We make mistakes from them, but the important thing is learn from them. Like I say: You are the mostly brave Gligar I ever see, and nothing will change that. But if you dont feel ready to make that decision, its okay. I wont force you to make that decision. I let you out of the pokeball. When you ready to make the decision, just speak with me. Witch reminds me...I dont give you a name yet arent I? You not a official pokemon of mine, but for you bravery and courage, I think I should give you a name since Gligar or Shiny Gligar looks like a too much generic name to me...You are a bat and a scorpion...what name should fit you...manticore? No thats one not good. Batman? Blergh no..." Then he remind one famous vampire from the old books then he clap. "I know one who would be perfect! Alucard! In the old stories, Alucard was a famous vampire, son of the mostly famous vampire from the books: Dracula. Alucard is Dracula from right to left. But even he was son of Dracula and he was a vampire, he have a kind and noble soul. Like you Gligar. I think that name fit you very well. What you think?"

[Lord Windos]

(Oh,  chaffing under my discrete vigilance and macimations , are you now? And after all the generosity I've shared with your little jester, and educating the both of you on the finer points of intelligent discourse! How ungrateful......and refreshingly straightforward of you, heheheheHA!)

(You don't share the same sass or casual defiance that the little drake or his puppetor, but you make up for it by being the maddest firebrand! around Of course, if you don't learn to temper it, you'll only end up destroying everything you are striving soooo hard to achieve.....oh well! If that happens yet again, no one will be their to save you from your deadly blunder, so that should prove good enough incentive to not royally screw the Lillipup again, hmm?)

(I look forward to what you have planned for Arial, so don't disappoint me now~~~)

(......Are they gone yet? .....Yes, they are. Mate, you HAVE to stop directly name dropping THEM. Doing so will just keep on summoning THEM to the current scene, where THEY liable to do ANYTHING, so shush up about them will ya?! I don't like hiding from THEM to prevent being locked up again, you know!)

(.........Moving on now.)

You metamorphic matey hardly calmed as you dredged up bad memories the both of you shared, nor the ominous premonition you had of things yet to come, yet somehow the inner Strength and resolve in your words managed to at least get them to stop trying to fretting. Personally, they found just about EVERYTHING after formally joining forces with Reiner to be FAR to stressful and plain awful, and by this point was ready to that danger magnet and find less fruitful but SAFER ventures. However, they knew you were determined to fulfil your duty as a bodyguard to that draconic man, and see wherever that path takes you no matter how maddeing and fraught with terrible things to their long term health (Then again, since they were a Masocist, maybe its in part because ???) , so with a *Sigh* they mustered their resolve and looked you straight in the eyes, and gave you a firm nod of their head.

Together, they would get through this. Together, they would remain strong. Together, they could do anything, *Meow!*

The cuddly nuclear nightmare, meanwhile, was happy with the affection and positive attention you were giving her, and gave you one last nuzzle before laying down beside your bed and dozed off. She may have been fully healed from being Exploded on, but that didn't mean that battle and all that recovering didn't tucker her out! Now that your were both better in mood AND health, she decided that she could relax and rest for a little...bit........zzzzz.

Your impromptu Ambush hug nearly caused them to Strike you out of pure surprise, but that feeling was quickly dispelled as you began to reassure him and began recounting your near Lethal blunders just  yesterday alone. The scropiobat was nearly floored by the sheer amount of suffering you've invariably brought upon yourself, and couldn't help but be plain stunned and ever so slightly amused by how schadenfraudtastic your life was with or without you. Forgot about bringing the worst upon yourself, you practically became the posterchild for the saying!

Brought out of the funk by your serious of unfortunate events, the next series of statements were especially impactful. Their eyes went wide, and seemed to tremble as you did your best to absolve them of their guilt over their involvement in turning the Delta Muk battle Lethal. Easier said than done, obviously, as the night glider still felt somewhat responsible despite your reassurance stating otherwise, but if you didn't blame or hate them for nearly causing your death, then maybe......maybe he hadn't ruined everything like they thought. Still has a chance to learn from their folly, and improve so that such tragedy was never wrought by its pincers again.....

The final surprise of christening them 'Alucard' gave them pause to think over your choice......before shaking their shaking their head. They didn't find the name all that appealing, plus you were already 'friends' with someone that was literally called (and is) 'The Vampire' . Not cool to try and usurp the title of someone more deserving of being called vamperic! 'Sides, they didn't care all that much either. Much rather being named after something awesome or mighty, ESPECIALLY ones that related to slashing or cutting things! Its ability IS Hyper Cutter, after all!

(Please Sir dont be mad or feel ungrateful because of my boy say. He still shocked about everything that happen. Also I make this post when I awake this morning and didnt change the post too much because I was tired and still sleeper. Please forgive him for what he say. He still dont have enough insight. Dont let him die like he did before. He already learn his lesson. Also, consider the situation he was trying to calm Gaspar who almost freak out. And Arial already say he fear you. Dont let him die please. And please dont take serious about what he say.)

Arial notices that Gligar dont like much the name Alucard. "Dont like much huh. Hmm. Lets think something better." Then he remember one famous blade he heard in old stories. "I know! One better name then. Durendal. Acording to his legend, Durendal was a powerfull sword who once belongs to a might Paladin called Roland. The legend say he stop a army of one thousand mens with that sword! The sharp of that blade was able to cut even the strongerst armors! Like you claws." He points to Gligar claws. "You have a natural strong power, who will be your strengh in the future. What you think? Its a better name now?"

(Oh,  chaffing under my discrete vigilance and macimations , are you now? And after all the generosity I've shared with your little jester, and educating the both of you on the finer points of intelligent discourse! How ungrateful......and refreshingly straightforward of you, heheheheHA!)

(You don't share the same sass or casual defiance that the little drake or his puppetor, but you make up for it by being the maddest firebrand! around Of course, if you don't learn to temper it, you'll only end up destroying everything you are striving soooo hard to achieve.....oh well! If that happens yet again, no one will be their to save you from your deadly blunder, so that should prove good enough incentive to not royally screw the Lillipup again, hmm?)

(I look forward to what you have planned for Arial, so don't disappoint me now~~~)

(Please Sir dont be mad or feel ungrateful because of my boy say. He still shocked about everything that happen. Also I make this post when I awake this morning and didnt change the post too much because I was tired and still sleeper. Please forgive him for what he say. He still dont have enough insight. Dont let him die like he did before. He already learn his lesson. Also, consider the situation he was trying to calm Gaspar who almost freak out. And Arial already say he fear you.

(My my, it has been some time since someone has so feverantly and remorsefully groveled like you have, Spiritmon. If I didn't know any better, I would suppose you had a distinct lack of faith in my level of tolerance and beneficence! No matter, no matter. Your little jester hasn't offended me any with his defiant attitude; as a matter of fact, I find it rather endearing he spoke so boldly and ireverantly! Not that disinclined towards more exacting reactions, but he meant no ill of it, and even if so he's so far beneath me that the only thing he can do about me is furitively complain. Far be it from me to deny him that small measure of comfort, hehehehe........)

The Shiny Gligar's eyes lite up  as you acquainted them with the sword's name and the legend behind it, and they only grew more intrigued and excited as you continued on. By the time you finished the scorpiobat was already clapping its pincers together in chipper and upbeat joy, a stark contrast to his earlier gloom and doom mindset! Oh yes, that was a MUCH better name! They quite like sharing a namesake with a sword that cleaved entire armies in twain!

Shiny Gligar's name is Durendal now! He's still a 'Wild' Pokémon since he hasn't decided yet what he wants to do, but until that day comes they're happy to hang out with you!

Once the night glider had fully vented his earlier funk and even earlier joy, they made a beconing gesture to the Ultra Ball you were holding/had near you. It appears that they wanted to maintain possession of it until they finally made their decision as to where his Loyalties will ultimately lay: themselves, or you.

After you made your decision there, everyone in the room suddenly heard a *Shuffle Shuffle* sound above you, causing all to look up at the celling with looks ranging from startled to wary. It took a couple of seconds, but you eventually noticed one of the panels wobbling and shaking in place........and moments later it popped right out and began falling!

.....until a pair of chitenous arms shot out to grab it.

Seconds later, a familiar form silently dropped to the floor below, gently placing the ceiling panel off to the side and began stalking towards you. Gaspar immediately started letting out a displeased *Hisss!* at them, while Sekmet continued to snooze away and the newly name Durendal blinked Noctowlishly at them, before smiling and waving!

By now, if should be obvious who this is, but just in case: Its Riza!

When she reached you she hover ominously over you for a moment.......before swiftly dropping down to hug you, causing your mimic sibling to bolt away with EXTREME irritation and surprise!

{Arial....Found You! Relieved......Happy!}

She then began to burquestly examine your prone form for any signs of severe injury and damage, before nodding her head in sastifaction.

{Whole, Safe, Healthy! Good Good! Did Not Find Clair......Sought Darkness. No Find Them Too. Then Heard BOOM! Almost Run, Hide.....Went There. Maybe Clair Cause BOOM?}

The Bug Metahuman stops halfway as her posture became nervous and guard, before she slowly continued, an distinct worry creeping in her 'word' until she her mood did a 180 as she finished.

{..........Found You Instead. Badly Hurt. Bleeding......Everywhere. Followed You Here. Hide, Wait.....Until Alone. Then Found You! Safe, Whole, Not Bleeding! You Safe......Me Joyfull! ........Was Worried...Now Thankful You Ok......}

Riza then resumed hugging/cuddling you tightly after she said this, as if the Grim Reaper was going to phase on in and spirit your away to the Underworld! Which, given your track record, is not that unreasonable assumption to make!

Well, how are you going to react?

(Thank you sir. Really.)


Arial was quite satisfied about making Gligar a lot better with name and story. "By your reaction, I think you like the name. Its settle then. For now on your name is Durendal!" Then Arial raise a eyebrown about Durendal points to the direction of the Ultra Ball. "Well, I think there is no problem. Until the day you make your decision, you can have this Ultra Ball Durendal." Then Arial take the Ultra Ball and give to the hands of the sword scorp bat. "When your ready to make your decision, I will be here to hear my friend. Not as a trainer." Then Arial pat Durendal head. "But as a friend."

...Then Arial feel a strong grip and a big hug! He feel almost dying again because of that hug. He blush a little about be so close to Riza. Trying to breath he try to say. "Please Riza...I cant breath! I happy to see you too, but please! Release me!" Then after that Riza let out Arial, he take a few seconds to recover his air. Then Arial begin to talk again. "Thank you Riza. I have a terrible morning. Long story short: I was trying to find Reiner and you guys, but in the path I found some sorta of strange Muk. You know what a Muk is right? Big blob pokemon? A slime with purple skin? Anyway, that Muk was some sort of Steel abilities then I was think to capture him and we get a terrible battle. Then he auto-detonate with Explosion. Got terrible badbly but we manage to survive."Arial didnt tell about the part of the "Person" he meet. "We got terrible wounds then we got here. The heal service was able to heal us."

Then he try to calm the bug woman. "Dont worry. We are okay. Wait, did you say you heard a explosion?! What exactly happen, did Reiner/Darkness is okay? Reiner go ahead in battle that woman alone without help?! How much dumb he is?! And they say I crazy one!" Then Arial try to calm down. "Sigh At least he have Mew with him, so I think he is okay. He is also a Cursed Arm User with Mamudo Eclipse so I think he will be okay. When that guy fight serious...Arceus have mercy against someone who dare to piss off him. Believe me Riz, you will not want to anger Mew. I know that because she almost psychic me to death. Anyway, is there any information you have to me Riza?"
