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

After a long time who was almost like take hours, but it was just minutes, Arial open a smile and one of his eyes to look at his girlfriend. "Welp, I will understand that as a yes." He smile at her and give her a kiss in her forehead. "I love you, "ladybug". And I will do."

After such moment he grab her hand. "So, how about we go to the rooftops? After such long time trapped inside a place filled with Nuclear Pokemon (no offense Sekmet, you a sweet thing) I miss a lot look the sun, the moon and the stars. Do you want it Riz?" Say Arial with the most shiny and stupid smile he ever do in his face, like a sly and cute cat and saying the nicknames he once gave to her, "Riz" and "Ladybug". And chuckling a bit with her (possible) green blush she always do when she is feel embarassed.

Riza doesn't say anything back to you, but does *Hmmm* back with a contentment you haven't (in your memory, at least) ever heard or seen from her before. Love really does a person good, huh?

Your request for a trip to the rooftops was meet with no objection on her part and a shy but happy smile (Nor did Sekmet mind your disparaning comment on her Type, as she's well aware of how bad they could be), and after you recalled all your Pokemon (Whom have been observing this lovely moment silently and respectfully [Even Gaspar, though he looks grumpy about it]), she wisked you off your feet and made her way out and up in remarkable time. She lets you down right beside her, and leans into your side as you take in the Celadon skyline and night sky. 

Light pollution from the city obscures most of the stars, but due to Mew's.....finale, what few could be seen were all the more brilliant and radiant. Off towards the glassed remains of the NRF, you could see what looked like a concetrated patch of Psychic Terrain here and there, while a whole gaggle of the National Guard was swarming the place like angry Beedrill, with a couple of their Helicopters and large flight Pokemon hovering above the site and guarding/patrolling the air for good measure. Needless to say, your send off to the accursed place turned quite a few heads.

Needless to say, your send off to the accursed place turned quite a few heads.

Arial makes a worry face after remembering he have forgot to returned his Pokemons back to their Pokeballs, but he was gadly to know his Pokemons respect the moment, even Gaspar. "*Sigh* I will to take a conversation with my brother after our meeting."

Notable to say, he was quite happy in see his girfriend lean in his side. "Huh, we have indeed take whole new level in the saying: "Put the house down". The destructive power of a Legendary Pokemon never cease to make me impress. No wonder they are considered "gods". Never going to make Mew anger anymore." Arial gaze in the direction of the now demolite factory, seeing all the Helicopters and National Guard.

Despite be gadly to be alive, he cant hide the sadness he feel in the moment. "You know Riz, I very happy to be alive." Say Arial looking to Riza. "To be with you, and to be with my Pokemons. To be here looking at this big sky. But...despite that, I cant hide the sadness I feel like this. Even if the place was filled with Nuclear Pokemon, Sekmet prove to me even Nucmons can be good, and they have a chance to be better, only if you try hard. This week show me even the most dangerous and perilous path can have a light in the end...I understand why Reiner and Mew exploded the place, but I cant help but to disagree with them. Despite they danger, those pokemon was...alive. They could have a chance to redeem themselves, and to live a life."

"You and Sekmet its a living proof to that. No matter what life make you, you can always find a better path. Thats what this long week show me. It is strange Riz?"

Arial for a moment hold Riza hand, fear in a instant she would disappear. "Guess there is no use in overthink that I guess. I never was the most smart guy (despite have 4 in Knowledge). What is done is done. Looking at the bright side, my job as a bodyguard for Reiner finally done. I can finally ask my boss to have a well deserved vacations, and we can finally set sail to Tandor. Cant wait to drink Coconut Milk in Bealbeach City. My god, its been years since I drink one, but even now I can still remember the flavor. Hmm, maybe I should stop think that before I get thristy. Gonna share with you when we go there dear. There is a lot of places I would like to show you in my home City. But I was thinking in make a home in Baykal Forest. Quiet place, lots of nature for Melchior and Asura to enjoy themselves. And of course visit Big Momma too." Arial then look to Riza. "What? You think I forgot my promise to help you see her? I a man with word Riza."

Arial feel quite happy to finally have a moment to be more calm and normal after such crazy week. He is a madman, but he sometimes just want to have a good old normal moment. There is however a question who was lurking around in his head, but he fear to make such question because he dont want to make Riza upset, so he make with all caution of the world. "Hmm, Riza, could you mind if I ask you a personal question." Arial say with a face who make clear he is not comfortable in make such question.

"...it's less of a novelty if you're around them more often, to be honest."

Ah, good.  Kyubi kept the important details Reiner will have to explain himself secret.  Great (and I mean that unironically).  "...yeah, uh...Ms. Sterling's perceptions on some things weird me out a little too, but she is a good person at heart...*ahem*...anyways, moving on...yeah, that 'Vampire'...the good news is she's terrified of me, and with good reason, so I doubt we'll see any trouble from her...if we ever encounter her again, that is.  Not much more needs to be said about that, really.  Can tell you the full story later, but she hopefully won't be much of a concern at this point."  Well, only most of the full story, in all likelihood...

...nor do any of the previous topics need to be further elaborated on for that matter...moving on!


-----------

"...well, fair enough, I suppose.  Just...don't be surprised when I bring up a related topic later.  This particular item has...other useful applications, to be brief...even as strange as they are...*ahem*..."

....

...and he's clearly trying to talk about other topics, so...

...in any case...time for that reunion with Lucy!  (After Arial's stuff and Taylor's glass o' water, of course, as stated previously.  Besides, I'm sure we're all ready to move on to other topics at this point.  There'll be plenty more time for stories later.)

"*Shrugs* If you say so, partner....."

"Yeah......agree with ya there one hundred percent. Heh heh, and I'm glad to hear that bloodsucker has been leashed too! When I heard about that particular character.....*Shudders*.....I felt summoning my partners to keep me safe. The world is just full of wonderfully horrible things that like to jump out at ya, huh? And yes, I'd like to hear that story later!"

~~~

That probably piques Taylor's interest/curiosity/'what the heck?' instincts a little, but given that Reiner should be making it clear that he'll explain later, she will probably just leave the topic well enough alone for the time being.

Her interest was indeed aroused by your sudden hesitance surrounding the 'miracle boob fixer', but has enough sense/Insight to also not ask about it. Arceas know they've already gotten done with one of the most horribly uncomfortable conversation in their lives, so no need to add more bad vibes to the mix....

You called for Mr. Mime after the lull in discussion, and the psychic butler walked in from/appeared (Hard to tell) from the top of the stairs, and in short order the thief extraordinare got a cold glass of fancy mineral water, much to her immense appeciation/relief. Once she satisfied her thirst, you requested to be escorted to the Training Room, and soon enough you, Weavile, and your old parter were there, with the refined servant standing off to the side by the entrance for further request while you two inspected/re-inspected the place.

Taylor gave off an high pitched whistle as she took in the state of the art exercise equipment and various other amenities, hands on her hips and looking deeply impressed.

"Man, this Training room is swag and state of the art as heck! The Pokemon Centers don't have anything on this place, that's for sure!"

She then turns toward you, already holding Lucy's Pokeball as she flashed you half eager, half cocky smile.

"Well, partners? Ya ready to see my girl Lucy? 'Absolutely?,' you'd say? *Chuckles* Okay, here ya go! Lucy, time for your reunion!

Hefting the Pokeball a couple of time, she snatched it out of the air and snapped it out towards the battle arena, the capture device hurtling there at blinding speeds before impacting and releasing its occupant in a blinding flash of light! The figure grew and lengthed beyond the average, sparks crackling and arcing off its form as the white radiance surrounding it faded away to reveal a Dragon unlike you've ever seen before. 

Music: Song of Storms Dubstep Remix by Ephixa

She had a long, twisty body, its upper half a sooty black coloration, and its underbelly a rich crimson that was sectioned like that of your Arbok . The three long, bright yellow, and red tipped bird of prey talons it stood upon and the pair of pearly white, black outlined wings, however, disrupted any notion that she was in anyway a typical dracoserpent, with the pitch black mane and fluffy tail resembling that of a storm cloud only accentuating how strikingly different she was from her kin. Lastly, her head epitomized her odd fusion of avian and draconic characteristics, looking to be both falcon and serpent like with an upper yellow beak and toothy maw, wide red eyes with narrowed pupils that focused on you, and two Thunderbolt shaped horns sprouting out the apex of her skull. 

Looking upon Lucy's form, you knew what she was, even though you've never seen it before. Without a shadow of a doubt, she was......



A Yatagaryu.

Her presence filled the room with a dominance only exuded by truly powerful Dragons and a tangible energy entirely unique to her, and you could feel the humidity in the room steadily rising and static building up on your clothing. Her head was crane up as she gazed upon you, and you couldn't help but feel a tiny bit insignificant/unworthy like you used to with Yang before he fully accepted you. At first it seemed like the Stormbringer didn't recognize you at all, her dracoraptor eyes scrutinizing your every feature with cautious indifference, until they widened as she remembered the person before her. 

Is that...Reiner? Her mother's oldest (and perhaps only) friend, and prospective mate? Yes, it is. He's alive. He's really alive!

Music: Song of Storms (Original)

Almost immediately after that realization, she abandoned all pretenses of imposing majesty and scrabbled-lopped forward to properly greet you, now sporting huge smile on her semi-beaked face as she rumbled happily at you. Taylor was still smiling/smirking by your side, though it was tinged with sentimental joy at seeing her girl so overjoyed to see an old friend alive and well. 

For now, she (Talyor) remains silent, letting you dictate the way this reunion goes. If you'res still holding onto Lucy's Egg, she doesn't notice currently, as her attention is squarely on you now.

For now, she (Talyor) remains silent, letting you dictate the way this reunion goes. If you'res still holding onto Lucy's Egg, she doesn't notice currently, as her attention is squarely on you now.

"Hehe.  Good to see ya too, girl.  Whew, you've sure grown a lot in the last four years, haven't ya?  Wasn't any need to worry about us.  We were mostly worried about you, ya know.  Spent the last four years worrying, in fact.  It's good to see that Taylor got ya out of that mess you were in.  Was quite surprised to hear you're actually a Dragon, too."

Well, that certainly explains why Lucy wasn't perched on Taylor's shoulder like she was all those years ago.

Reiner then rummages around in his bag a little and pulls out some of those High Quality Dragon Rations to offer to Lucy.  "Picked these up earlier this week.  Supposed to help Dragons grow stronger more quickly.  Want some?"

Reiner's also got a pokeball of his own ready afterwards, a small smile on is face.  "Got someone else who'll be happy to see ya.  Taylor probably told ya already, but she and Jeff evolved at the same time."

Another flash of light later, and Kingdra also appears in the room!  At first, her gaze is on Reiner.  Questioning.  She's wondering what on earth just happened.  One moment, they're in that strange place full of dangerous, rude, glowing green pokemon, and then she heard an explosion, and then...

...and that's when she notices she, Reiner, and Weavile aren't the only ones standing in the room.

She narrows her eyes and initially does much the same thing Lucy just did...until...wait, is that...is that Taylor?  And who's the strange, big dragon that's currently looking...excited?  And why is Reiner being all friendly with them?  She looks to Reiner for answers, and he chuckles as he responds.  "Yup, she's back, Kingdra.  She's finally, finally back.  And look who she brought with her.  I know she looks quite different from before, but...it's Lucy.  Seems we missed a lot in the last four years....hehe...so much for our plans to rescue her ourselves, right?"

Kingdra's eyes go a little wide as the strange dragon's identity is revealed.  THAT'S Lucy!?  She knew the little bird was actually a dragon to be the entire time, but seeing it for real...

I imagine Lucy's more than happy to greet Kingdra as well.  And Kingdra is 100% very happy to finally see Lucy again.  Despite Lucy's control over electricity, Kingdra always liked being around the dragon to be, and Electric type attacks aren't nearly as much of a concern for her ever since she evolved 4 years ago.

"If you...could have the chance of becoming human again, but still be yourself, would you take the chance? You dont have to answer the question. I already stated I love you not matter what."

Riza doesn't look all too bothered or concerned that your two's get together had an audience, only caring and being focused on her Mate and the Warmth she's filled with because of him. So nice.....

~~~

The devastation caused by that and your commentary on it manages to rouse her partially out of her blissful Warmth and look upon the scene with some discomfort, as unlike the party she got to witness the full might of that and its immediate aftermath. To say that it had be frightening and unnerving would be an understatement for her, so looking back/focusing on that part of the city was not a feel good reminiscing for her. With you by her side, though, she could handle the sight without getting too rattled.

Your bittersweet realization about Nuclear Pokemon is meet with the reformed vampire turning towards and looking at you with uncertainty, mild disagreement, but understanding too. Her opinion on Nucmons were more in line with the public's, due to her being around first hand when the Nuclear Disaster happened and seeing/hearing about the horrors of it, so she didn't quite agree with your new opinion out of perfectly justified fear. On the other hand, she knew from Sekmet that not all of the irradiated beasts were bad, she now has Lead Bug to take care of, and she obviously agreed with your underlying rhetoric given both their situations, so she's not dismissive (well, as she could be) of your belief and easily accepted it. Pretty good reaction, all things considered.

{Strange, Weird.......Yes. But......Not Bad Strangeness. Without, Not Meet You. Never.....Become Better. Find Love. So....It Is Good. Strangeness Good....}

(Your chara smart in your own right, its just that his madness and chaotic nature obscures his brilliance most of the time, and most people overlook it, including Arial himself, amusingly enough.)

Riza seemed to become excited at the prospect of you retiring from your duty of body guarding your Boss and returning to Tandor, if her jerking her head towards you looking astonished, then suddenly wrapping her four arms around you in an bone crush hug and started chittering energetically/in joy was any indication. Amusingly enough, you learnt then you couldn't actually understand Riza when she was 'talking' that fast, but given how demonstrative the Bug Lady was, the 'language' barrier was hardly an issue. Man, you're just making this the best night of your girlfriend life , with all the right moves! Arial gains 2 XP for great roleplay!

Heady sweet romance must eventually come to an end, however, and that moment came when you asked for permission to inquire personally about Riza, which caused her to release you from her hug and look up at you, looking/appearing just as uncomfortable as you were (if not more so) at the request. Her history and private thoughts concerning herself/her past were very touchy topics, due to how.....interesting and intense it all was for her (to say the least), so sharing/offering anything related to those aspects of herself was often an answer that begged for a problem. 

After your two's declaration of love, however, the insectile woman felt a lot more confidant and self-assured about herself and your views/relationship with her, so after spending a minute thinking about it, she hesitantly nodded back, signaling for you to go ahead. She trusted you. Your Big Question......well, that caused her to start a little, backpeddling a bit away and looking at you with wide eyes, looking rather stricken and.....vulnerable. If it wasn't for recent development and your careful delivery of said question, you had no doubt she'd have a much more extreme reaction, as her humanity was the touchiest of touchy topics for her.

This stare off continued for five long minutes in complete silence, her not blinking once in that time. You thought she was not going to answer, until she slowly looked to the ground.It was so quiet you almost missed it. Riza......she just looked so small and miserable right now at that admission. 

{.......Yes.......}

Thanks to your efforts and constant reassurances to the contrary, she doesn't fully view herself as a Monster anymore and has attained some measure of peace about her condition, but when you're presented with a question like that.......how can you not be affected like so?

Heady sweet romance must eventually come to an end, however, and that moment came when you asked for permission to inquire personally about Riza, which caused her to release you from her hug and look up at you, looking/appearing just as uncomfortable as you were (if not more so) at the request. Her history and private thoughts concerning herself/her past were very touchy topics, due to how.....interesting and intense it all was for her (to say the least), so sharing/offering anything related to those aspects of herself was often an answer that begged for a problem. 

After your two's declaration of love, however, the insectile woman felt a lot more confidant and self-assured about herself and your views/relationship with her, so after spending a minute thinking about it, she hesitantly nodded back, signaling for you to go ahead. She trusted you. Your Big Question......well, that caused her to start a little, backpeddling a bit away and looking at you with wide eyes, looking rather stricken and.....vulnerable. If it wasn't for recent development and your careful delivery of said question, you had no doubt she'd have a much more extreme reaction, as her humanity was the touchiest of touchy topics for her.

This stare off continued for five long minutes in complete silence, her not blinking once in that time. You thought she was not going to answer, until she slowly looked to the ground.It was so quiet you almost missed it. Riza......she just looked so small and miserable right now at that admission. 

{.......Yes.......}

Thanks to your efforts and constant reassurances to the contrary, she doesn't fully view herself as a Monster anymore and has attained some measure of peace about her condition, but when you're presented with a question like that.......how can you not be affected like so?

Arial could feel his girlfriend down feelings, and he already regret making such question. He grab her hand and say with all the care of the world. "I...I sorry. I shouldnt ask you something like that. Forgive me! I dont know what come to me to ask such thing!" Arial quick try to think something to fix the situation. "Tell you what, lets not think about that! How about we play a little game? You can ask me 3 questions, and if I do not answear your questions, I will be forced to grant you a wish for each question. What you think?"

(Wait just a bit my friends. Get the answear of Riza, but she need to be a more stable. No need to scare her fragile soul right now right?)

"Hehe.  Good to see ya too, girl.  Whew, you've sure grown a lot in the last four years, haven't ya?  Wasn't any need to worry about us.  We were mostly worried about you, ya know.  Spent the last four years worrying, in fact.  It's good to see that Taylor got ya out of that mess you were in.  Was quite surprised to hear you're actually a Dragon, too."


Well, that certainly explains why Lucy wasn't perched on Taylor's shoulder like she was all those years ago.

Reiner then rummages around in his bag a little and pulls out some of those High Quality Dragon Rations to offer to Lucy.  "Picked these up earlier this week.  Supposed to help Dragons grow stronger more quickly.  Want some?"

Reiner's also got a pokeball of his own ready afterwards, a small smile on is face.  "Got someone else who'll be happy to see ya.  Taylor probably told ya already, but she and Jeff evolved at the same time."

Another flash of light later, and Kingdra also appears in the room!  At first, her gaze is on Reiner.  Questioning.  She's wondering what on earth just happened.  One moment, they're in that strange place full of dangerous, rude, glowing green pokemon, and then she heard an explosion, and then...

...and that's when she notices she, Reiner, and Weavile aren't the only ones standing in the room.

She narrows her eyes and initially does much the same thing Lucy just did...until...wait, is that...is that Taylor?  And who's the strange, big dragon that's currently looking...excited?  And why is Reiner being all friendly with them?  She looks to Reiner for answers, and he chuckles as he responds.  "Yup, she's back, Kingdra.  She's finally, finally back.  And look who she brought with her.  I know she looks quite different from before, but...it's Lucy.  Seems we missed a lot in the last four years....hehe...so much for our plans to rescue her ourselves, right?"

Kingdra's eyes go a little wide as the strange dragon's identity is revealed.  THAT'S Lucy!?  She knew the little bird was actually a dragon to be the entire time, but seeing it for real...

I imagine Lucy's more than happy to greet Kingdra as well.  And Kingdra is 100% very happy to finally see Lucy again.  Despite Lucy's control over electricity, Kingdra always liked being around the dragon to be, and Electric type attacks aren't nearly as much of a concern for her ever since she evolved 4 years ago.

Lucy preened at your first few comments, spreading her wings wide and craning her head up to strike a closed eye confidant pose, looking very pleased with you and herself. She shares your sentiments completely, and is happy you never forgot about her or stopped caring too!

However, when you mentioned your previous ignorance of her Dragon heritage, though, she stopped posing and gave you that same look Taylor gave you the last time, before rolling her eyes and shaking her head. Really now.....she may have just been a little birdy back then, but was it that hard to tell? Especially since she acted more draconic than a Flying type should, and got along great with their Seadra despite being an Electric type......

Thankfully, all was forgiven when you presented the HQDRs to the Stormbringer, which she took one sniff at before she plucked them out of your hands, tossed them into the air, and then cawed them down with great enthusiasm. Yum yum in her tum tum! Apparently a Yatagaryu's eating habits are avian like instead of draconic!

Finally, your assumption about Lucy was absolutely true, for her attention was quickly diverted to Kingdra as she shared thier wide eyed look, before she bounded over an tackled the aquatic Arendse to the ground, rumbling down at her old friend happily and playfully in greeting. This soon begat an intense but friendly mock fight between the two dragonesses, the two tussling and chasing/hopping around each other as they re-familiarized themselves and re-affirmed their bond how they knew best, just like old times. It was a slightly shocking sight to see two full grown Dragons play around like children, but such is the nature of their friendship, so strong as to permit such a thing. No doubt this is one of the happiest times in years for the both of them, if not THE happiest - that certainly seems to be the case for Kingdra at least!

Taylor herself was somewhat stunned to see the spectacle at first, before a small tender smile graced her features after she let out a fond laugh.

"Hah......this bring me back when the two were just small fry, happy as....well, as they are right now, as a matter of fact. *Glances over to you* How about you, partner?"

Lucy's definitely not noticing her Egg right now, or anytime soon unless you do something about it. Weavile (can't forget about him) so far has been watching the scene with crossed arms but a easy going smile and a moderate amount of good cheer showing in his expression. Considering how tough/cool he acts and the airs of superiority/aloofness he carried, he was being abnormally expressive, but how could be not at such a touching, long awaited reunion? He's a Dark/Ice type, but even he's not cold hearted enough to remain unaffected by such!

"Hehehe...yup, it sure does bring back good memories...look at the two of them, all grown up and fully fledged Dragons now...heh...I've waited so long to see Kingdra this happy again...she's been holding this in for years..."

After a couple minutes of the two dragons' reunion, Reiner steps in to talk a little.  "Well, while it's nice to see the two of you play fighting, how about we hold a REAL battle soon?  I'm sure we'd all like to see how much we've all grown and maybe even changed in the last four years, right?  There's even an easy to access healing machine in this building, so we should be able to properly and quickly recover afterwards, and battle with or without KOs, all without having to worry about going to a Pokemon Center.  You could even show off your new(ish) move to Jeff and Lucy, Kingdra."

Kingdra trumpets in excitement!  Yes, she loves using that move [Draco Meteor], and it would feel so good to finally show it off to someone who can REALLY appreciate its significance!  She doesn't get to use it very often, but using it for fun sounds great to her at the moment!  It's been ages since they've had a proper battle for fun where she had an opportunity to use that move purely so she can show off!  And who knows?  Maybe Kingdra and some of Reiner's other pokemon will pick up some other new tricks as well...

Then Reiner gets a tad more serious as he turns to face Lucy.  "...but before we get to that...well, I have a question for you first, Lucy.  Let me give Kingdra the rundown so she knows what's happened, first of all.  She has as much of a right to know as the rest of us do."

Kingdra looks questioningly at Reiner again.  Wait, what?  What do you mean by that?

*faces Kingdra*  "I'll keep this short...it was as we figured, Kingdra.  Taylor found Lucy in one of the highest security places in Blackthorn.  Specifically...she was being kept prisoner at the Secret Breeding Grounds deep below the heart of the city's governmental district, a place that's packed with more secrets than even the most secure places in the Dragon's Den.  I'm sure you only need one guess to determine why they were keeping her there specifically.  And from what Taylor's told me...Lucy wasn't happy about it, so...they forced her to cooperate..."

Kingdra's eyes go wide in shock, then she looks towards Lucy sympathetically.  Fortunately, she's so happy to see Lucy again that the risk of her spontaneously Outraging is almost zero!  No need for Reiner to worry about needing to intervene this time!  Phew!

"...fortunately, Taylor freed more than just Lucy.  She made off with some valuable pokemon eggs as well...and the Elders are probably still trying to recover from that hit to both their finances and their pride...and among the eggs Taylor vamoosed with was...this one."  *shows Kingdra the Volchik Egg*  "I'm sure you recognize the color scheme.  Taylor gave this egg to me, said that Lucy seemed to be okay with me taking care of it, but..."

Kingdra looks back at Reiner as he resumes speaking, and she nods decisively when he mentions that Taylor punished the Elders for what they did.  Good.  The Elders shouldn't be allowed to get away with forcing a Dragon to do something they do not wish to, particularly when the Dragon does not belong to them!  Do they have no shame, no respect?!  Apparently not, or only very little, given what happened.  First they kidnap Lucy, and then they force her to do...that in the hopes of getting more of her species?  No, unacceptable!  They deserved that punishment!  And she certainly hopes that Lucy at least got to keep some of her digni...

...then her eyes widen a little in surprise again, and she looks back and forth from the egg to Lucy as she makes the connection.  Taylor didn't get there in time to spare Lucy that shame?  Lucy...laid an egg after all?  And she's giving it to Reiner?  Again, she looks at Lucy sympathetically, but with a touch more sadness and confusion...

*faces Lucy*  "...well, to be brief, I'd like to hear it from you personally, Lucy, just to make absolutely sure.  One does not simply take a Dragon's Egg without the mother's permission, after all.  So...is it really okay with you if I take this egg?"

Kingdra's looking at Lucy curiously, wondering if Lucy is 100% okay with this...if Kingdra were to ever lay an egg, Reiner would probably be the only one she'd trust with it initially without needing a little (read: probably a lot of) convincing, so she's a little surprised Lucy is trusting her own egg to someone that isn't Taylor...it's not entirely surprising that 'someone' happens to be Reiner, but still...a mother Dragon letting another care for her offspring...it's a rare thing indeed, and a significant sign of trust at that...

Asssuming Lucy indicates that it is fine...

Reiner smiles.  "Then I'll care for them as best as I can.  Hehehe...guess that means Kingdra gets to be an aunt soon.  What do ya think, Kingdra?  Looking forward to it?

Kingdra trumpets a positive, resounding cry that clearly means 'Yes, I'm definitely looking forward to this!'  If Lucy is going to trust them with this egg, then by golly, they'll do their best to not violate that trust!

That 'soon' is gonna be a lot sooner than anyone was initially expecting IC, though...hehehe...hope you enjoy our gift to you, Reiner and Kingdra!

*C R A C K*

Reiner looks down at the egg in surprise when that single sound reverberates throughout the room, likely silencing everyone almost immediately as they look to see where that sound came from.  By the Dragon Gods...is it hatching already?!

Reiner looks down at the egg in surprise when that single sound reverberates throughout the room, likely silencing everyone almost immediately as they look to see where that sound came from.  By the Dragon Gods...is it hatching already?!

"Hah Haha....same deal with my girl too. She was......crushed when she realized you all were going to be MIA indefinitely, and since then has always been grim and dim when dealing with others not named myself or her other partners. Maybe now, our little Dragons can finally lighten up a little, yeah?"

Bringing up the prospect of a real battle causes a literal sparks to come to Lucy's eye along with the rest of her body, with her arcing both her upper body and Electrical power upwards, followed by letting out an frenetically thrilled *CCCCRRRRRAAAAAWWW!* She too is eager to show off her all her hard earned Thunderous might she's obtained over the years to her fellow dragoness, so your announcement is like the High Quality Dragon Rations you gave her! Plus, given the almost tangible aura of Strength and toughness coming off not only Kingdra, but Reiner too, maybe in this match she can actually let lose her full and unadulterated POWER without summarily electrocuting her opponents to oblivion!

Taylor has a much less enthusiastic reaction to full on Fighting you at, turning towards you with both eyebrows raised and a thoroughly thoughtful frown. No matter how censored or light on detail Kyubi was with recounting her older partner's exploits this week, the fire fox DID inform her of them, and they all painted Reiner as not the somewhat novice but upcoming Dragon Tamer she grew up with, but a complete BOSS of a Dragon Master that was so badass he ate up adversity, shitted out success, and scared literal blood sucking boogywoman. Heck, they took on what sound like a rioded up Elderitch Bug from beyond and smashed its bloody face into the curb!! After hearing all that, she'd have to be out of her gord to seriously accept a actual Fight with him!!!

Which is why after giving it some more thought, the thief extraordinaire threw back her head and laughed up a veritable Thunderstorm, before gracing you with a familiar spine tingling savage grin and deviously gleaming eyes.

"You know what? If my girl is down with Fighting you lot of super duper trainers, then I'm game too! Fair warning, though, partner: I battle like I do my thieving. If you two are looking for a honorable, straightforward fight, you clearly have the sort of expectations that need adjusting, and I'm not doing that for ya! Knowing that, ya still wanna Fight me?"

One thing to add about Kingdra: starting at when she learns what happened to Lucy and until she fully Cottenees on that they laid an Egg, she become FURIOUS at the Elders. I'm not just talking furious, but FURIOUS. Full steam, high boil, and roiling RAGE of both a Dragon and a woman incited. The whole nine yards of wrath, squared. Yeah, she's THAT mad. Which, considering what happened to her best friend, is perfectly reasonable.

However, due to being so overwhelmingly happy because of her reunion with Lucy, just having a vigorous bout of play fighting, and wanting to be there for them, she is able to fully restrain her temper without major intervention, and have a more subdued reaction to the news without blowing. Make no mistake, though, she was still FURIOUS, and now had newly enliven and visceral desire to blast those old bastards to smithereens, but she was doing an excellent job of controlling her RAGE and marshaling most it away. Lucy nor Taylor pick up on this, but obviously Reiner does, and especially Weavile (Who preemptively slunk behind cover without drawing attention, then came back out just as discretely when he realized Kingdra was not going to OUTRAGE.)

Your old partner's reaction to the her tale recounting is the same sort of anger she showed back in the living room: great and terrible, but lurking just beneath the surface of outward grim calmness. Lucy, though.....she shuddered throughout the story, a haunted look that dimmed her eyes as she settled back down on the ground and withdrew into herself until the you stopped talking about it. The former's reaction was expected, but the later's.....wow. What the hell did those Elders do to her?

What drew the Stormbringer out of her.....funk (Thankfully) was you mentioning and then presenting her Egg to her, bringing it to her attention and out of those memories. The thunder dragoness eyed her offspring with.......uneasy love was the best you could describe it, then giving you a long measuring look that made you straighten up and sweat a little. A minute of Lucy staring you down....before she closed hers eyes, took in a deep breath, and nodded, rumbling out with indescribable emotion but her eyes showing certainty with her decision.

Giving up her firstborn was not an easy choice......but keeping and raising them was a harder for her. No matter how much maternal love she held for her welp, she just......just couldn't raise them with the fullness of care required. Not without the......reason of their existence stalking her very thoughts, and marring the bond between them. So, instead of subject her welp to in-adequate care, she is entrusting them to someone who she knows would do a good job raising her right without judgement and only compassion: you. 

Kingdra is able to perfectly understand her fellow dragoness' reasoning and be greatly sympathetic to their plight but still happy about the occasion, but I will any modification/addition to her reaction in your hands Dragonstrike, since you've been doing a good job of that so far. That, and it makes its all the more meaningful if you're the one writing it...

~~~
(Why Reiner, what a apt choice of thought! I like the way you are thinking! Hope you enjoy what's about to happen too!)
Yes, the Egg is hatching. As if it witnessed their mother relinquishing it into you care and immediately it had to meet its new daddy RIGHT NOW.
......? ...!
First, the * C R A C K * resound throughout the room, sounding exactly like a crack of lightning rather than a shell breaking apart, and a jagged fissure ran down laterally across its middle.
...! ...!!
A deep, burning orange light began seeping through the fissure, and the Egg started to violently shake, nearly jerking it and the incubator right out of your hands, forcing you to get a tighter grip on it! 
!!!
Sounds of crackling light once more echoing out as the smaller cracks began radiated from the central fissure, more and more of the burning orange light spilling out with great intensity. 
!!!
The air in the room, once calm and stagnate, rapidly whipped up into fast and vigorous wind currents that threatened to blow everyone off their feet, save for you, as it seemed you were right in the eye of the storm.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* B R R A A A A A C K*

....And the next thing you know, the Egg explodes.

The sound, the light......it is deafening and blinding, yet strangely not painfully so. 
.....................?
Your senses are overload, and for what seemed like an eternity you are trapped within your own mind.
.......................Daddy?
A voice. You hear a voice.
...................Daddy! Daddy!
Instantly, you regain awareness of your surroundings. 

The entire Training Room.......it looked like a tornado torn through it. All the equipment was upended, trashed, and scattered about, all of it now laying disheveled across almost the entirety of the room, except the area directly around you. 

Everyone single living being was in a similar state of affairs, bowled over by the Egg's explosion, and all of them were Fainted. 

Except for you. You were still standing tall, appearing none worse off from the Egg's hatching besides some wind ruffled clothing.
Daddy!
Huh? Its....that voice! You almost forgot about it from from all the excitement!
Daddy, Daddy!
There it is again! And its call you.....daddy? Wha-
Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!
You feel something squirming in your hands, and your attention is immediately directed toward them......and the answer to everything.

Cradled in your grasp, was a Volchick.

Correction: A very odd looking female Volchick, looking at you with eagerness and total adoration only a child has for its parents, letting out a happy chirp now that you were looking at her.

One that was radiating a IMMENSE amount of Power, too boot. 

Gone was usual black and yellow colora scheme of the species. Its head and claws were painted a light, almost faded green, and its black body a darker, more vibrant green., with the only golden yellow remaining as an outline on the 'lips' of her beak. Her wing's arches were evergreen, and her feathers a bright gold-orange that appear to be glowing, if the faint light emanating from them is any indication. The only features that remained similar to her species' norm was the furred collar and storm cloud tail, but even those had their notable differences, with the collar and tail shimmering evergreen when light shone on her, and the tip of her tail was dully glowing the same gold-orange color as her wings. Last but not least, were her eyes and chest emblem. The eyes were almost entirely light red, save for the pupils, which were light yellow, while the emblem.....



Was unlike anything you've ever seen before.
Daddy!
That voice jolts you out of your analysis of your Volchick, causing you to instinctively look about the room for its source.....
.....Daddy? Daddy?
.....aaaand inevitably finding yourself looking back down at Volchick, who was wiggling in your grasp and looking at you with honest curiously.
...
...
...
...Your baby Volchick is talking to you. And thinks you are her daddy. And, based on all the evidence you've gathered thus far, was responsible for wrecking the Training Room and KOing everyone but you and her. By the mere fact of her hatching.

.........Well, say what you will, but the Elders did a bang up job of breeding Lucy's child.

Congratulation, your Egg hatched into a Legendary Volchick!

Spoiler

Arial could feel his girlfriend down feelings, and he already regret making such question. He grab her hand and say with all the care of the world. "I...I sorry. I shouldnt ask you something like that. Forgive me! I dont know what come to me to ask such thing!" Arial quick try to think something to fix the situation. "Tell you what, lets not think about that! How about we play a little game? You can ask me 3 questions, and if I do not answear your questions, I will be forced to grant you a wish for each question. What you think?"

(Wait just a bit my friends. Get the answear of Riza, but she need to be a more stable. No need to scare her fragile soul right now right?)

Your vamp of a girlfriend is a bit reserved at first, but she slowly leans into you again, gradually calming down as she took comfort in your presence and her thinking drifted away from her humanity.

{.....It Okay, Arial. Question......Not Bad. Sad.....But......Good Meaning. You Not Bad For Asking.....}

As for your question game, Riza doesn't have any for you, as she honestly isn't in an inquisitive mood right now. She'd much rather cuddle up by you side the rest of the night and her newfound love, and save any probing questions for later, less.......lovey times.
