Daxter yells in glee. "That's what I'm talking about! You got fucking planted, mate! Let's do that again!"

The Shadow Sandstorm does make him uncomfortable, however. "Why is there so much fucking sand everywhere we go? Why couldn't this have been a good rainstorm?"

He sighs, before relaying his orders to his allies.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Kee's busy coughing up sand and figurative(?) shadow-y energy still in between all the hussle, but the immediately perks up at 1. the sound of breaking glass (ice?) - "We're ba-*coughhh*ack, we're back!!", 2. Gallade mega-evolving in front of them all - 'Heck, what an impressive sight!' He hopes that one day, one glory day, he will make a leader capable of being just as inspiring as Gallade. It's a loooong way still for him, but Kee's aware that even the longest paths start with first steps, one paw after the other.

But enough of that, there's a more pressing issue right now!!1 He takes a beeg leap over to Braixen, giving the vixen a gentle smile that tries to hide the pain he's actually in. Emphasis on 'tries'. "Good day there, lovely fox-lady~ *nudge* How 'bout ya get out there an' SHOW that djinn yar impressive fire and psychic powers? Dontcha worry, I've got ya covered-" -Kee'll give her a sly wink, and allow her a glance at the two Tiny and one regular Reviver Seeds in his bag- "I'll be fine, 'll be fine, I just need...a short breather...if ya mind...I'll be fine, you dear make sure t'give Lando your very everythin' ya've got... I'll be...FINE..."


Action #1:
Charm and entice Braixen into coming out from her cover to fight directly and bravely, in order to get behind Cover himself.
Doesn't need a roll.

Action #2:
Blast Wand usage No.2 out of 5
No Accuracy Roll needed here, ranged attack.
Will deal 2 auto-damage to Lando.

[Lord Windos]

Platina, already having braced herself for Landorous's Ire and fierce retaliation after screaming right in Their ears, was relatively non-plussed as They forcibly transitioned everyone back to the 'non-reverse' side of the world, only briefly losing a bit of altitude in the whole process. The raging Sandstorm They produced was another matter entirely - while she was unbothered by it on account of her Typing and Keen Eyes that didn't mean she liked being embroiled in the scouring winds that were doing their level best of Grounding her.  Dax's comment gets a bark of laughter from her - "Yes, I prefer rainy winds and booming thunderstorms myself. Still, we shall persevere and free Landerous from the Shadow's grip!!"

The shiny bird then immediately shot a look at Hoopa and simply yelled "Do it NOW!!!"  and proceeded to hover protectively around the mischievous spirit, readying and willing to protect them should The Sand Djin decide to target them out of spite or feral intuition. This ploy would determine if they would prevail or get swept away by Landerous Fury, so she would do everything to ensure it. Would. Not. Fail.

Order: First Action will be dedicated to body blocking any Attacks that should Target Hoopa - if Landerous does not use a Move that Damages them then she'll use Dragon Rage instead as her first. Second Action will then either be Dragon Rage or Magnet Bomb, and the 3rd Action will be Steel Wing. This lil' miss isn't afraid to get brutalized if it gives her allies a greater chance of winning, so she's going all out!

Moves:

Dragon Rage
Accuracy: 4 DEX + 2 Fight + 0 Channel - 2 Actions = 4D6 Dice
Damage: Set 2 Damage
Effect: Damage is Flat and Piercing

Magnet Bomb
Accuracy: DEX + Fight + Channel - 4 Actions = 2D6 Dice
Damage: SPE (1) + 2 + STAB = 4D6 Base Damage
Effect: Always Accurate

Steel Wing
Accuracy: DEX + Fight + Brawl (2) - 6 Actions = 2D6 Dice
Damage: STR (2) + 3 + STAB = 6D6 Base Damage
Effect: *Increase Own Defense 1(+1)*

[Dragonstrike]

VS Shadow Landorus

(Snom and Rolycoly are already behind cover, so they'll both only do a single action each)

With a sweep of his cape, Mega Gallade begins chanting a vow of protection anew!

Mega Gallade's Lucky Chant 1
4 Special + 5 Contest + 5 Perform - 2 Actions = 12d6
(4)(3)(2)(2)(2)(4)(5)(4)(1)(6)(3)(2)
The party is protected from bad luck by a lucky chant!

Landorus bellows, and everyone can feel his presence encompassing the battlefield as an immense pressure!

Gravity 1
4 Special + 4 Fight + 4 Channel - 2 Actions - 1 Pain = 9d6
(6)(4)(2)(6)(6)(3)(3)(1)(3)
Gravity intensifies!  All accuracy pools ignore innate inaccuracy, and airborne pokemon become grounded!

Platina plummets out of the air as Landorus's control over the land completely dominates any airborne superiority she had up until this point.  Struggling to stand, she tries to blast the also now grounded genie with her dragon fire once more.

Dragon Rage 1
(6)(6)(2)(3)
The massive sand shroud blocks the attack completely!

Landorus doesn't even turn to look at Platina.  The barrier protecting him is far stronger this time.

The party begins to take potshots at Landorus, hoping to break through the renewed barrier.

Landorus is surrounded by swirling fire!

As Braixen pokes her head out from behind cover to attack Landorus, Kee pokes his head behind that same cover to try and charm her into letting an injured pokemon take the spot instead.

Kee Finds Cover 1?
3 Cool + 1 Contest + 0 Allure - 2 Pain - 2 Actions = 0d6

Unfortunately, Kee's attempts to hide the pain with a smile isn't as charming as he'd like it to be, and Braixen just shakes her head.  "Sorry, but I kinda don't have much in the way of supplies.  I'd feel a lot safer behind this rock, especially since Landorus is throwing actual rocks."

Life Dew (Karen) 1
(5)
Karen, Rolycoly, and Kee are all slowly recovering HP!
Karen spends another Will Point after using this move!

Kogeki tries to take cover as well, but instead of a healthy and somewhat reckless Braixen, he has to try and convince a very timid Bug type to trade places with him.

Kogeki Finds Cover 1?
3 Cool + 2 Contest + 0 Etiquette - 1 Pain - 2 Actions = 2d6
(4)(1)

Kogeki, burned and hurt as he is, makes a convincing case for letting him hide behind the cover.  However, Snom takes one look at the rocks that Landorus is starting to pick up and very adamantly shakes her head no.  She's clearly terrified of getting crushed by those boulders. (Kogeki needed two successes)

Especially since she's about to attack Landorus and hit his biggest weakness!

Powder Snow
(5)(5)(1)(2)(3)(3)(2)
The massive sand shroud nullifies the attack!

Landorus doesn't even blink.  Mortal pokemon are beneath him.

"Hey, big guy!  Over here!"

He turns, no expression on his face as he stares at the tiny pokemon covered in all manner of rings and gaudy accessories.

"You want a fight?  Well, here you go!  One fight coming right up!"

Summon Pokemon 1

Hoopa throws one of their rings, and it expands until it's as big as Landorus!  That familiar purple energy begins swirling in it, and out of it comes...

...the scent of wet grass after a rainy day?  For such a hectic battle, the smell is weirdly comforting...

And then a pink colored hand reaches out of the portal, followed by an arm.  A brown snake covered in heart shaped patterns winds around it, their coiled tail wrapped around a torso.

As the pokemon emerges from the portal, she lovingly scratches the head of her darling pet, and it coils around her torso even tighter as she looks straight at Landorus.

"Black really is not your color, dear."

She snaps her fingers, and the scent of Spring wafts through the area as Landorus is buffeted by a powerful windstorm!

Springtide Storm 1
3 Dex + 4 Fight + 4 Channel - 2 Actions - 2 Inaccuracy = 9d6
(4)(6)(1)(3)(2)(6)(1)(1)(2)
Hoopa's power lets Enamorus's attack ignore Landorus's barrier!
4 Power + 4 Special + STAB - 3 Sp Def = 6d6
(1)(1)(1)(6)(4)(6)
Landorus takes 3 damage!
The massive sand shroud takes 2 PDD! (One from Hoopa's involvement, one from Enamorus's attack!)
23/60 HP -1 Pain
Total PDD: 4
(6)(6)(5)
Enamorus's Strength, Defense, Special, and Sp Defense all increase by 1!

Landorus recoils from the blow, while Enamorus only seems to look lovelier as she gives him and the party a small grin.  "You took your sweet time to call me, dearies.  Ah well, no matter.  You seem to have managed well enough up until now.  Now that I am here though, let us free my beloved home from this oppressive, ugly darkness."

As she prepares for combat properly, raindrops begin to appear around her, swirling around her body in the protective embrace of a gentle wind.  Rolycoly is startled as the unlit runes on the rock he's hiding behind suddenly flare to life, accompanied by a swirl of raindrops on a gentle Spring breeze that surrounds the stone.

*rolls*

New Initiative!
Mega Gallade: (4)+11* = 15
Shadow Incarnate Landorus: (5)+8 = 13

Kee: (5)+5 = 10
Karen: (6)+3 = 9
Kogeki: (3)+5 = 8
Snom: (3)+5 = 8
Hoopa: (1)+5 = 6

Gallade looks at the party, assessing who's the most injured.  Noting that Kogeki is still burned, he opts to heal the Riolu!

Mega Gallade's Heal Pulse 2
6 Insight + 5 Fight + 4 Channel - 4 Actions = 11d6
(6)(1)(3)(2)(3)(6)(1)(3)(6)(1)(4)
(5)(5)(5)
Kogeki recovers 3 HP! 5/5 HP

"Get back in the fight!  We need you to break that barrier!"

Landorus's attention is now squarely on Enamorus, though he also casts sideways glances at Braixen, Daxter, and Hoopa.

He doesn't say a word.  He simply picks up some large boulders and throws them directly at all four as hard as he can.

Rock Slide 2 on Enamorus, Braixen, Daxter, and Hoopa
4 Dex + 4 Fight + 4 Channel - 1 Inaccuracy - 1 Pain - 4 Actions = 7d6
(5)(6)(4)(2)(1)(2)(4)

Enamorus's shroud of rain reduces the damage she takes by 2!
Enamorus takes 0 damage! 9/9 HP
The shroud of rain takes 1 PDD! 2/3 Plot HP
Braixen takes 1 damage! 4/5 HP
Daxter takes 1 damage! 4/6 HP -1 Pain
Hoopa takes 1 damage! 5/6 HP

Braixen cowers behind the rock as the force of the boulder thrown at her scrapes past her cover, kicking up dust and grazing the tip of her tail.  Kee jumps as well, finding himself almost in the line of fire of that attack.

The assault continues, to varying degrees of success as the humans and legendaries try to break down Landorus's protection before Landorus can break them!

Magnet Bomb 2

Enamorus raises a finger and points at Landorus, a beam of moonlight firing from it and piercing through the dark shadows surrounding her counterpart!

Kee waves the blast wand at Landorus, only to notice some of the water from the puddle Karen left at his feet leap onto the sparking wand, firing at Landorus along with the actual projectile!

Blast Wand 2
The attack explodes against the massive shroud of sand, dealing no damage!  However, Karen's Life Dew distills some of the barrier, dealing 1 PDD!
Total PDD: 8

Disarming Voice 2
(2)(2)

The massive shroud of sand nullifies the attack, but takes 1 PDD!
Total PDD: 9

Kogeki tries to focus.  He's burned, but no longer in immediate pain thanks to Gallade.  His allies are doing barely any damage to Landorus.  If he doesn't get his act together, they could be in serious danger.  He has to land this attack.

One shot.  One hit.

Kunai Throw 2
(4)(4)(2)
Unlike the Blast Wand, Kogeki's Kunai is human in origin, so it pierces the barrier and deals 1 PDD.
Total PDD: 10

The thrown Kunai almost seems to stick into the barrier surrounding Landorus.  The genie looks down indifferently at the blade that very nearly managed to make contact with his physical form.

And then the barrier suddenly explodes, and the sandstorm intensifies!

For a moment, nobody can see anything.  They need to cover their eyes as they get pelted by a huge volume of sand.  Everyone that isn't behind cover or Rock, Ground, or Steel type takes 1 damage (Enamorus exempted because her barrier is still intact).
Mega Gallade takes 1 damage 8/10 HP -1 Pain
Daxter takes 1 damage 3/6 HP -2 Pain
Rowlet takes 1 damage 4/5 HP
Kee takes 1 damage 1/4 HP -3 Pain
Karen takes 1 damage 2/5 HP -2 Pain
Kogeki takes 1 damage 4/5 HP
Hoopa takes 1 damage 3/5 HP -1 Pain

When the sand clears and everyone can see again, they see Landorus clutching at his head in pain, the shadows continuing to spark up and down his body as he struggles to resist their influence.

"Grrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaauuuuuugggggggghhhhhhh!  Help...me...it's too...strong..."

"Hehehe~!  With pleasure!  So long as you're okay with us defending ourselves in the meantime~."

Confusion 2

Landorus takes 3 damage!
20/60 HP -2 Pain

Landorus continues clutching at his head in pain as Hoopa's mental assault deals a significant blow to the Legendary pokemon!

"And now it is my turn!  This injustice ends now!"

Mega Gallade runs up to Landorus, frost accumulating on one of his blades!

Mega Gallade's Ice Punch 3

Landorus takes 9 damage!!!!
11/60 HP -2 Pain

Landorus is sent flying by a single solid blow from Mega Gallade!  The Scorching Summer crashes into the pillar representing his season, cracking it and startling Snom and Kogeki!  Landorus pushes himself up, just barely managing to force himself upright against the increased pull of gravity.

"You...will...regret that!!!!"

Landorus punches the ground, and the soil underneath Gallade explodes with the full fury of the Legendary pokemon!

Earth Power 3
12 - 6 Actions - 2 Pain = 5

Mega Gallade takes 2 damage!
6/10 HP -1 Pain

Gallade is completely covered by a dust cloud when the ground explodes, but when the dust clears, he's still standing.  He's looking rather bruised, his once spotless white cape now covered in dirt and mud, but he's still in fighting form!

With Landorus down and vulnerable, Platina is finally able to run up to him and smack him with her steel feathered wings!

Steel Wing 3
(2)(1)

...however, unused to having to actually walk due to the increased gravity, she trips and falls instead.

Daxter isn't far behind though!

Scratch 3
(5)
(5)
Landorus takes 1 damage
10/60 HP -3 Pain

It's only a tiny little scratch, barely enough to actually cause any kind of harm, but it's enough to cause Landorus to recoil in pain as the shadows crackle along his body once again.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!"

He reacts immediately, reforming his defensive sand shroud, then clapping his hands together.

"I'm...sorry...I can't...control it!!!"

As Landorus pulls his hands apart, everyone can see that he's once again accumulating power for his devastating Shadow Sandsear attack.

Enamorus tsks in disappointment.  "Well, I suppose we just have to finish this the hard way, then."

Completely unafraid, she floats right up to Landorus and kisses him on the cheek.

Draining Kiss 3

Given the extreme strength of Mega Gallade and his position at the top of the initiative, I'm going to roll his first attack now.

(6)(6)(4)(4)(4)(6)(4)(2)(4)(4) | (3)(1)
Landorus takes 9 damage!
1/60 HP -3 Pain

Gallade nearly fells Landorus with a single blow! (and as such, I'm not going to roll out the rest of the Round!  You guys easily have this covered at this point)  The extreme power of the attack completely breaks Landorus's concentration, and the genie collapses.  His muscles spasm as the shadows spark up and down his arms one last time before completely fading, and the dark shadows leave his body, rising up into the air towards the dark storm overhead.  Sand and heat begin swirling around Landorus's shrine once more as the shadows surrounding it dissipate.

Landorus holds up a shaky hand as he struggles to right himself.  "No...more.  No more.  The deed...is done."

Everyone gets 30 experience and 2 Will Points for defeating Landorus!

Enamorus floats over and grabs his arm to help pick him up.  "Those shadows really did a number on you, my dear.  Are you sure you're alright?"

"I will...be fine.  I'm just glad...they didn't get you as well."

Enamorus leans Landorus against the shrine, then looks back towards the party.  "Well, I'd say you've done us a great service this day.  Freeing all three of my counterparts from the grip of this shadowy force.  I think that deserves a reward~."  She winks and blows everyone a kiss.

...and then a bright burst of light appears in the middle of the clearing!  Once the light recedes, a strange rectangular, sky blue tablet is hovering in the air.

Landorus stares aghast first at the tablet, and then at Enamorus.  "...Enamorus, you can't possibly mean to give them the sacred artifact we were charged with protecting!  You know what it is capable of!"

Enamorus merely turns back to Landorus and looks skyward, towards the storm still brewing overhead.  "These are strange times, dear Landorus.  Humans walk among pokemon as pokemon once more.  A dark shadow is threatening to engulf everything we know and love.  If there was ever a time to entrust the Sky Plate's power to mortals, it is now."

Landorus grunts in disapproval initially, looking over the party of pokemon standing before him.  Then he sighs.  "...I am in no state to disagree, unfortunately.  You there.  Bird pokemon with the heritage of dragons.  Stand before the Sky Plate.  And take its power for your own.  You will likely need it for whatever trials are in your future."

[Mikaruge108]

Exp spending time!

Karen uses 23 Exp. to permanently learn Heal Pulse!
Karen uses 8 Exp to increase Survival to 2!
Karen is now level 19!

Karen breathes deeply as she takes in the group having defeated Landorus.
"We... *pant* ...did it!
Karen watches as the Sky Plate is given to Platina, Karen doesn't have much to ask the Forces of Nature that are present, but she says "I wonder how everyone that stayed to deal with Sandaconda is doing..."

Landorus grunts in disapproval initially, looking over the party of pokemon standing before him.  Then he sighs.  "...I am in no state to disagree, unfortunately.  You there.  Bird pokemon with the heritage of dragons.  Stand before the Sky Plate.  And take its power for your own.  You will likely need it for whatever trials are in your future."

To say that Platina was displeased by the sudden intensification of Gravity was an understatement, as was any descriptor for the sheer fury she felt after peeling herself up from her forcibly induced face plant. She had a hard enough time Flying as it was due to her metallic constitution, so to have that fact brutishly rubbed into her face? Unforgivabe, even from a Legend Itself! 

The glimmering avian displayed such ire with another gout of dragon fire, but to her shock and dismay it didn't work this time! By the Dragon Gods why does adversity always like to strike so insidiously and unfairly?!

Thankfully, she and her comrades had their own secret windfall, as it were: Enamorus. Though Hoopa's theatrics continue to leave a lot to be desired, just this once she could be impressed and dazzled by his and the lovely djin's spectacular duo as they swamped Landerous with that nostalgic and super-powerful winds. Seeing it made her heart pang a little in longing and envy - oh how she wished she had such spectacular might and grace as They! 

Just as impressive, however, was Kogeki's fateful Strike against the Mighty Summer Scorcher. Seeing his fierce resolve and raw, dogged determination bear such a decisive blow against Them....it was heartening and inspiring, regardless of his status as a former Human. If anything it made it more so - seeing the stuff of literal myths and legends come to life before her very eyes does that, and it gives her hopes that perhaps she too could do the same with their help!

....Stumbling her attempt to land a actual meaningful blow, she huffs with pure frustration on the ground as she realizes that day will not be now. Someday, someday....she will be able to stand tall against all that she faces!

(Shame that she couldn't have landed the final blow, as she was actually perfectly poised to do so. Oh well, better the fight ended early than let Shadow Lando get another wack at the party.)

Gratefully the titanic Fight against the Shadowed Djin soon ends before she could get another chance to embarrass herself/be embarrassed again, as the most gallant swordfighter managed to literally knock some sense into Them. Right as Enamorous helped Her sibling/counterpart up Platina finally mustered the Will to drag herself off the ground again and dusts herself off with a *cough* , trying her best to gracefully receive Her thanks.

"We only did what any righteous Pokémon would do, were they capable enough to do so. It is an honor to - "

Before she could go on, Enamorous' flirtacios kiss shocks her silent, and any reaction to that was swiftly curtailed as They summoned......

.....
.......
........By the myriad Gods and Spirits, what was that? 

Never before has witnessed such....such a Divine Object. Once that resonated and shook her to her core. Being in Its Presence alone....it filled her with the feeling of being bouyed by the strongest winds, braced by the wildest of zephyrs, and riding the most exciting of airstreams. What....just what was it ???

Landerous gruff command manages to wretch her from her dazed musings, but only just - she can't help but stare at Him for a moment, glancing over at the now named Sky Plate, and back at Him again in disbelief.

"I.....I....Am I worthy of such a Boon? Truly? "

Assuming the Sand Genie confirms, one way or another, Platina almost gulps before her discipline returned to her once more. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, she opened them once more and nodded at the pair of Djin. Without further delay approached the Sky Plate, stretching both her wings towards It to make such a unparalleled gift her own....

@Dragonstrike
Kogeki was completely focus. He look at the enemy in front of him. His friends doing their best to destroy that barrier. His attacks weaken. He felt rejuvanated by Gallade healing properties.

"Thank you Gallade. Your help will not be in vain!"

Using every bit of his ninja training, he look at Landorus. He must everything he learn to the test. "My power is nothing compare to you Landorus." Kogeki fierce grip his hidden weapon. "But taste my blade Landorus!" Then Kogeki throw his weapon, making the weapon stick to the shield. The shield was broken, but the sandstorm was very violent. Kogeki then see everyone doing their best to finish off that powerfull enemy. He flex his muscles and prepared himself to use his speed combo, he take the kunai who was in the ground, close to where Landorus was. However, it was unecessary, since Gallade finish off the enemy, by strike the blade against the enemy, using a Ice Punch.

He look at Gallade not as enemy, not even annoyed. It was something else...

He looks at Gallade as a fierce and powerfull warrior. With a swordship superior to his.

Such grace...such power...such fighting style...Kogeki was simply amazed. 

After the battle was concluded, Kogeki was still looking at Gallade almost like...he is looking at a great master. He timid get closer to Gallade. He problably returning from his Mega Form. He get closer and with a gulp, he bow in respect towards Gallade.

For reference in the way Kogeki bow, here a representation in what he do:



(Basically he doing the third one, saikeirei, basically, the way of the hightest respect someone have to other person, basically a superior. Kogeki also have one paw of his close like a punch into the center of his other paw, like a warrior greeting another warrior. This is something Kogeki pretty rare do, with the only one was his master when he has still a human).

"Master Gallade, thank you for helping us defeat such powerfull enemy. And thanks for the healing. I would be in a very worse situation without your help sir!" Kogeki salute him almost like a soldier. Very formal like a ninja he is. 

After the interaction with Gallade, Kogeki see the plate, and see at Platina with some hesitation. He looks at Platina at Platina. He was thinking in say some words of encouragement, but he trust Platina to do her thing.

After Platina gain the Plate, Kogeki aproach Platina, and give her a weak punch in her shoulder/wing. "You were amazing out there Platina. Truly. Your speed and power was incredible. If you were a ninja, you would make a great Kunoichi. Basically, a ninja or praticer of ninpo of the female sex. I salute you, Platina of the thunder." He then bow in respect towards Platina/"Lord Windos" (More specific the keirei position. It shows respect and reconization from to other. Its still a formal bow, but not as much as saikeirei).

[no one]

Daxter grunts in surprise as he sees the Gallade's Ice Punches knock the Landorus's lights out. He raises an eyebrow in question. Mega Evolution wasn't alien to him, but he was under the impression that you needed to have a human there with you to do it. He clears his throat as he walks up to the Gallade and taps him on the arm to get his attention.

"Oi! Mate! That's some serious power you got there! It was something to see. How'd you do that? I thought you needed a human partner for Mega Evolution!"

To the Landorus, he warily steps closer, examining it. "You alright, big guy? No more Shadows? Any idea how it happened? Happened to Thundurus too! And Tornadus, I hear."

Gallade returns the same bow to Kogeki.  "It is I who must salute you.  Without the help of you and your companions, I would have been overwhelmed in short order.  I dare not imagine what would have transpired if you had arrived even a moment later than you did."

Kogeki isn't sure if Gallade knows the exact significance of the different variations of the bow, but it's still a significant gesture for Gallade to be treating him as an equal.

Gallade turns around when Daxter taps his arm to get his attention.  "Ah, the Water type Charmander, correct?  Oh, you're curious about how I Mega Evolved?  It's really quite simple."  He raises a hand to show Daxter the bracelet on his wrist.  "A little souvenir I picked up while my team was in Lively Town.  It's called a Looplet.  You slot items called Emera into it, and they can bestow upon you a variety of effects as long as you are wearing the bracelet.  The most powerful of them is the rare Rainbow Emera, which can trigger Mega Evolution for those with the potential for it.  I am surprised to hear there may be another method of obtaining that power with the aid of a human, though.  Perhaps you can tell me more about it later, once we're back in a town."

Gallade slips the Looplet off of his wrist and holds it out, offering it to Daxter.  "Here, you can have the Looplet if you wish.  Consider it part of my thanks for saving me from a rather grim fate.  It's really just a trifling thing, nothing special.  I can always buy a new one when I'm in Lively Town again."

-----------------------------

Landorus grunts dismissively.  "I'll recover.  Just need to get away from this blasted storm after I've caught my breath.  The irony.  Me, waylaid by a storm of all things!  Don't know where it came from nor why.  But I am worried that whatever caused it was after the Sky Plate.  Be on your guard."

"And as for those other two troublemakers, I'll make sure they're behaving themselves once I'm back on my feet.  That black storm is causing enough trouble as it is.  Don't need blizzards and thunderstorms on top of it."

(I have some specific scenes in mind for Platina, so I'm not going to respond to that post quite yet.  Want to give Phantom a little longer for Kee to respond to the immediate aftermath of the battle)
