"The gauntlet bypasses the normal requirements for mega evolution. Afraid I can't help you," she smirks.

"...and was Alakazam ever able to Mega Evolve while not powering your gauntlet?  Or was that stone primarily just for your own use at the end of the day?"

"Heart, you would make a great Scimitar. I respect what you've been through, the sacrifices you've made. Don't think for a moment we aren't aware of what we give up when we act the way we do. We are teachers of a sort - priests, almost. And I hope someday we'll be able to give up our experiments, which are not for the faint of heart. My hand? I didn't lose it. I sacrificed it."

"This model of gauntlet can allow much greater power, but it needs to be entwined with functioning neurons and linked up to actual muscles. It replaced my real hand, by my choice, so I can have a greater connection with my Alakazam. You can't IMAGINE the pain of being separated from him like this, but I grit my teeth and bear it in the hope of the greater good. If I must fling myself into the abyss..." *sigh* "So be it. If it will save the world."

"Do not even toy with that Juni. I still not forgive you for what you and Scimitars done to those trainers, and you almost done to us and our pokemon. If depend of me, you would not even have the chance to speak. You would receive a Water Pulse and a eletric threatment right away. I may understand your reasons, but that doesnt mean I would ever join you. We would stop you and your Scimitars one way or another. You should thanks my two friends here from stomping me in send you to oblivion."

"I have one question for you. You could have try other methods in ask help. There was no need to kipnap people and make experiments on pokemons. All you just need to do was asking other people to help without making experiments on pokemon. But instead you Scimitars choose to use violence and kipnap. Why? WHY?! There was thousands, THOUSANDS  of other ways to stop the calamity from happening. Are you Scimitars so stupid and idiots you have decide to go in the "easy" path to save the world? If you Scimitars really care in save the world, why you choose a more violent path? Or all you Scimitars really care is the "Calamity" really happen and so you take the glory to glorify you guys like gods? Its all about greed isn't? If yes, then you Scimitars is the true villains here. Because, what the hell, its impossible for everyone in your organization doing that because of noble ideals. The greed its always involved too."

"...and was Alakazam ever able to Mega Evolve while not powering your gauntlet?  Or was that stone primarily just for your own use at the end of the day?"

"I didn't find my Alakazite until I'd already become a Scimitar, so I don't know if he could Mega Evolve without the gauntlet."

"Thousands of other ways to do it? Name one, that you KNOW would work. Because we can't risk anything, when the fate of the entire region is at stake."

"How about ask people to help in your cause without trying to steal pokemon and make experiment with them. Or how about you guys try make preparations to indeed stop the calamity from happening or at least prepare the people for it. Or prove everyone you are not monsters you show until now. You guys could find better ways in use your resources instead of wasting them in kipdnap people and pokemon you stupid twat! Never heard about bad marketing? You try to tell us you Scimitar are just trying to do the right thing, but until now you guys only prove to us you are just a bunch of criminals, murderers, and greed people. Really, you Scimitars made sacrifices for nothing. You all just made yourselves worse."

"Want to prove you indeed a good person? Stay out of our way, and do not ever threat the people or pokemon ever again. Want to save the region? Good. Do dont hurt inocent people because of your self rightnous cause. You even say even you are not sure if such calamic will indeed happen in this era. I mean, OUR era. It could happen only thousands and thousands of years after YOUR time. What you guys trying to do? Become some sort of vampires cult and find eternal life? Or use your Abakadabra to take your brains out of your root heads and put in machines like in Doctor Who? Because you Scimitars is even more stupid than I though."

"A shame.  There's little that's more satisfying as a trainer than to see your partner Mega Evolve after all your hard work together.  Though seeing as you aren't technically pokemon trainers, I suppose that's not a thing you Scimitars regularly do, is it?"

Nathan sighs when Heart blows his top.

"...Heart, there's no need to call her names."

Heart show his tongue. "I dont have reason to be polite with her. This is the least she deserve. And Calam agree with me too."

He's right, Calam agrees! Juni doesn't seem to think any of those strategies would help her, though.

Other questions? Have you decided what to do with Juni?

"Do you at least try? Or do you Scimitars go in some reunion and are like: "Alright everyone! We have to stop a future calamity it might happen or not in some thousands of years and we need a strategy to save the world! You know what? Screw the pacific strategy! We gonna go violence and murder people, rob pokemon to make cruel experiment with them! Because it's more easy than ask people for help! There is no way this go wrong!"

Heart sigh and then facepalm himself. "Honestly, you Scimitars are so dumb and stupid in a way I almost can't believe it. And you still wonder why I feel insulted you saying "I could be a good Scimitar". I feel insulted for two reasons. One: You Scimitars are criminals, no matter how much you trying to stop the calamity, there is no excuse of your crimes. And two: Because your Scimitars are just like that evil groups in that old toons of 90' or 80': A stupid organization who don't have a real plan to do good, and instead go in a evil fashion way, and going to be dismantle by a group of youngsters."

"Seriously Juni? SERIOUSLY!? This is so much cliche I can't even begin to tell! Argh, it's a waste of time talk with you. Its better I stay away of you before you stupidity and close mind infect me because, WHAT THE HELL!?"

[Mikaruge108]

Spira just has one last thing to say to Juni: "Honestly, as I mentioned to one of your underlings, I somewhat sympathize with your goals, however, what I cannot sympathize with, however, is the way you are going about realizing them. I'd just as soon leave you here to rot, but that would be counter-productive," He then directs this part to the party as well, "Instead I think we should disarm her, bring her back to her present, and leave her in Thrawn's custody."

[Dragonstrike]

Heart show his tongue. "I dont have reason to be polite with her. This is the least she deserve. And Calam agree with me too."

He's right, Calam agrees! Juni doesn't seem to think any of those strategies would help her, though.

Other questions? Have you decided what to do with Juni?

"...I wouldn't say that's the least she deserves..."

He sighs again.

Anyways...

Nathan doesn't really have any more questions for Juni at the moment.  He does, however, have to talk with Detective Thrawn real quickly about what to do with Juni.

"...before I ask you for your opinion on what to do with this Scimitar scum, I should give you a quick update on what happened on our side of the battle.  Informed decision and all that."

Gallade swaps places with Nathan to keep an eye on Juni and Calam.  Nathan, meanwhile, heads over to Detective Thrawn to talk to him without Juni eavesdropping.

Spoiler

In short, Nathan gives Thrawn a brief summary of what transpired for his group's side of the battle and how the Police captured 12 of the Scimitars and rescued everyone besides the campers (who'd already been dropped deep in Earthstar Forest) already, then transitions into why he and his pokemon are so angry with her.

"...my Absol over there is cross with her because he's the one who got his face driven into the dirt and permanently scarred by the Nidoqueen that had been turned against us.  It almost killed him, and the cleanup wasn't pretty.  It was a very good thing we had a Max Potion on hand."

"...as for why I'm angry with Juni...well, first of all, she almost killed one of my pokemon.  Indirectly, but she was still one of the causes.  And also...something I didn't tell you before is who exactly they were targeting in the Ruins.  The man they were atacking is named...Marco.  Marco Warren.  My father.  And he's apparently on official League business, too...wish I'd known that earlier, to be honest...*ahem*...she, uh...also callously taunted that her organization would likely perform rather...painful experiments on his pokemon if they ever find him dead in the Ruins...that woman has no care for anyone not personally related to her in some fashion..."

"...and that's why I brought both you and her to this time since I have some control over who comes with us through time.  You to get you out of that situation safely since there was seemingly no other way to do so.  Juni...so she couldn't escape from being punished for her crimes.  Calam wants her dead for nearly killing him.  Or punished in some way.  And frankly, Gallade and I don't want her to go unpunished either.  We have a couple options:

- Leave her here in this time, which is around 1000 AD.  She's definitely dead by the modern era and likely doesn't have the materials to craft herself a gauntlet, but if she causes a paradox, it'll send her back to 2014 as if I'd never brought her here in the first place, and we'll likely forget everything she's told us immediately...and there's no guarantee Calam will be happy with this decision...

- Wait for the lurches to take us back to the present time and turn her in to the authorities in 2017.  We probably have to come up with some kind of story about how we caught her and found you, but I can contact the gym leaders of Cress and Stair to potentially get some help with making sure Juni is put and stays behind bars since I've been working with both of them recently.

-Kill Juni now and be done with the problem.  If she gets out of captivity in the present, she'll probably just go back to the Scimitars and cause more trouble for us.  This cuts off the problems with her specifically at the roots, and Calam is more than willing to finish her off.  It could be considered unlawful, but we're so far in the past that all anyone would know for certain in the present is that she vanished mysteriously.  Brutal, but guaranteed to be effective."

"...well, any preferences about what we should do about her, Detective?  Personally...I just want to see her punished in some way for what she's done.  No matter how noble the goals she claims to have are, it doesn't excuse her actions in the slightest."
