Bittersweet Rescue: The False Master's Saviors!

[Requiem of Whyspers]

Lykas struggled for a moment when Kabutops spoke. He understood one of those words. But how? As far as he knew, he had never actually learned any of the ancient language used by the Kreek or the Gyaan. Maybe it that that thing some people called "genetic memory"? Regardless of how he knew what was being said there, he turned his attention to Starmie.

"I think it has something to show us." He'd tell Ryan only a moment before the starfish began to project it's memories upon the Light Screen.

Once the screen shattered, he'd look upward. "I'm pretty sure Varuna's figured out how to sail on clouds..." He'd announce, confused slightly. "As crazy as it sounds... That's the only thing that makes sense. Starmie fell from the sky and if what it just showed us is anything to go on, Varuna wasn't far from us when we rang the bells." Looking back to the two Pokemon, he'd consider very briefly the possibility of him and Ryan snagging them both to keep them safe and let them rest. But, regardles of Varuna's crimes, his Pokemon weren't guilty of them and they would be far too loyal to put them through the heartache of losing him.

"What are the odds you've got a Flying-type? My best chance is to use my Mantine and his Twister to get into the air." He admitted. "Since Furor can't actually fly, she isn't very useful here."

Ryan had been slightly startled when the Starmie started up its visual effect but settled back down to watch.

Once it was over, Ryan would pat the Starmie on one of its arms. "Rest. You have done enough. Leave Varuna to us." he says to the pokemon.

Ryan then turns to Lykas. "Not on me, unfortunately. We are going to have to make a detour to Pacifidlog Town if we are going to get airborne. I think both of us were more prepared for deepsea combat rather than aerial." Ryan remarks as he walks over to the Hybrid. "So a quick teleport might be in order," he adds.

Lykas would recall Nuregami at this point, giving Ryan a chance to recall his own Pokemon, before releasing Mykel. "I need you to teleport us to a specific point, as accurately as possible." He told the Gardevoir. Willfully sharing his thoughts with the Psychic-Type, he awaited the expected answer.

"But boss, that's really dangerous!"[/i/] Mykel yelped, mentally, after analyzing his trainer's mind for a moment.

"I have a plan." He assured the Fairy before giving him a knowing nod. It was something he rarely had to do due to the bond with his partner but it was always reassuring for the Pokemon to see it. Mykel nodded and, after ensuring that Ryan was prepared, he pulled both the trainers through space and time with him, warping them almost straight up into the clouds, as high as he felt safe doing. Before he could do anything else, Lykas was in motion.

The hybrid recalled his Embrace Pokemon and threw out another Ball, releasing his Mantine, Cascade. "Tailwind, then use Twister to push us in that direction!" He told the ray. Cascade nodded as his fins spread out and caught the air beneath them. As he did, he summoned up a mighty wind at their backs, pushing them forward, toward the direction Lykas had dictated. Immediately after, he flipped his ribbon-like tail fin about a few times and sent a draconian whirlwind flying behind him, propelling them all forward just as Lykas wound his ponytails around Ryan to secure him to his own body and grabbed onto the Kite Pokemon.

This series of actions would result in the two trainers essentially sailing through the clouds in a similar manner to Varuna. At least at the speed they were moving, they should be capable of catching up to his ship before they reached terminal velocity. Plus, Cascade could simply change the direction of his Twister to slow theieeded.

"Sorry for the surprise but GRAY made a good point. No time to wait and see." He finally apologized to the Channeler strapped to his back like a toddler in a carrier. "Modern problems, solutions and all that." Hopefully Varuna's ship would come into view soon so they could help.

Ryan was going to protest, but why bother? As Lykas said, it was the quickest solution to their problem. "This stays between us, Lykas. Not a word to the others. Now, let's take care of our business." Ryan would say sternly as he resigned himself to his fate at the moment.

"Use your Water Wall!" Lykas called to Ryan over the rushing wind, upon seeing the Ground Channeler coming toward them. While there wasn't much the two of them could do directly until they reached the ship, they could stop this attack in it's tracks before it could hit them. As soon as Ryan's Water Wall went up, Lykas would use Icy Wind, blowing a frigid gale across the wall of liquid. It wouldn't freeze completely solid, his attack unable to produce wind that cold, but it would turn into an icy sludge that would slow down their attackers for a moment or two.

He had a plan to follow up this defense but doing so would require Ryan to not have any thoughts of his own in that regard and a willingness to cooperate with his insanity. ~I really hope he's got a better plan...~ The hybrid thought to himself. His own might kill him of it didn't work, right.

Ryan would use his Lapis Defense and watch what Lykas would do to it. A good idea. But now Ryan had one of his own. "Lykas, do something that will boost us towards the ship!" Ryan shouts as he produces easily the longest Medusa Whip ever as he latches onto the mast of the ship. It was taxing him heavily, but it was better than the long fall down at this point.

The Drilbur and Channeler paired 'drill' would attempt to grind against the icy sludge of a Lapiz Defense however it bogged them down heavily, causing the two to lose their rotation and begin to fall separate. The Ground Channeler would recall his Pokemon in midair as he began to fall, his Gliscor would dive to save his trainer however the Channeler had other ideas as he dropped another Pokeball, this one releasing a pink Gastrodon.

The Gastrodon would fall right onto the Medusa Whip Ryan created and with some sort of Channeling ability the length of the whip began to turn to mud, rapidly spreading towards Ryan. The Channeler would land on his Gastrodon and with the same ability began to ride the slug like a surf board, commanding the mud its self to carry him up towards Ryan and Lykas at a rapid pace.

As he made his way towards them he spoke a word in some foreign language, his Gliscor above responding by firing a spray of Poison Sting at them, the needles clearly serving more as a distraction than anything.

Excellent! Ryan did have a better plan than Lykas' own. So the hybrid changed his plan entirely. As their assailants lost power and began to fall away, he spoke. "Keep Ryan safe and keep heading toward the ship, Cascade." He told his Mantine. "And I'm sorry in advance for the violation." He apologized to Ryan as he leaped into the air, liquefying his body via Acid Armor, and dove into the Channeler's Medusa Whip. Ryan would likely feel the foreign energy invading his own for a few moments as Lykas raced along the length of the watery construct until he reached the edge of the mud that was encroaching upon Ryan at it's other end.

Jumping out of the Medusa Whip with more velocity than he'd had when he jumped in, hands already glowing bright green as he ripped a series of orbs of energy from the Gastrodon with Giga Drain. "Not today!" He cried out as he flipped in mid air and landed on the Channeler's shoulders, coiling his ponytails around their shoulders as a red glow began to emanate from them. Power Whip was a hell of a thing if left unchecked and he would learn that quickly as the tentacles began to coil ever tighter. "One chance to live." Lykas warned from his perch, crouching on the man's shoulders so he could speak into his ear threateningly.

Ryan was not happy with everyone deciding to use his Medusa Whip as a tightrope!

But once he saw that Lykas had the channeler taken care of he would drop it, and then throw up a Lapis Defense to avoid the incoming poison sting.

Once he was sure he had nullified that, he would sweep the Lapis Defense up into an Aqua Sniper shot, one that was thin but highly concentrated and then fires it at the Gliscor. It may not take it out, but it would sting badly if he took a direct hit.

Ryan then calls out Undine, his Brionne, catching her in his arms.

"Undine! Icy Wind!" Ryan orders. Undine nods and buffets the Gliscor with a chlling wind.

"Geh...I g-give." The Channeler strained to say. "Y-you're...too...too...laaate."

Ryan pulls himself up off the deck of Varuna's Ship as he hears the enemy channeler.

"What do you mean "too late?" That traitorous lair was our responsibility and ours alone as the two students who survived his lethal tactics and as true descendants to the title of Water Grand Master as last representatives of both Kreek and Gyaan. No harm had better have come to Varuna or else you will match his fate." Ryan growls at the enemy channeler.  

[Requiem of Whyspers]

Lykas smirked as the Gliscor went down and the Channeler admitted defeat. "We'll be the judges of that." He stated simply. "Take us to Varuna. We've got our own agenda with him and you lot aren't stopping us." He ordered, carefully maintaining his perch on the offender's shoulders. If he were forced to do so, he would kick them and their Gastrodon into the sea so far below them without hesitation.

"My friend and I reserve the right to try Varuna for his crimes before anyone else. It's our people who were erased by his actions and it's us who've survived through all his tricks." He added to Ryan's threat.
