"I will be tethering you to my own spirit," Diyem said, gesturing to himself. "I will shoot you from my Voidlands into hers. Then, I will fend her off until you are able to subdue her from within. With my guidance, you should be able to find either a Core, Maple herself, or something else that...

"I was not working with anybody for this particular mission," Giovanni said. "If you want my input, I don't think I know, either." "Close," Diyem said, smirking. "We cannot defeat Maple directly. Something from within is powering her." He made a sweeping gesture toward Team Spectrum. "I am...

"We didn't notice, either," Diyem pointed out. "I didn't notice. Perhaps it was so deep within her that... the only thing that could have awakened it was another Dark Eternatus. One like Eien. Or, perhaps, some luck..." Diyem nodded. "It was a race against time. A race for Maple to discover this...

Owen tilted his head, glancing at Bahamut. "That's... oddly hopeful of you," he remarked, smiling a little. "But I think Bahamut is right. We could still find ways to prevent even that smallest chance, and make it zero. Then it can't happen." Diyem rolled his eyes, not entertaining it. "The...

Diyem nodded. "An accident that had to happen eventually," he stated. "When something has the tiniest chance of happening... but an unlimited amount of time... it is never a matter of if, but when." Diyem hummed, arms and wings crossed. "The answer, for us, was a few months ago."

Diyem nodded. "Bahamut is correct... or at least, my theory is the same." He faced the others. "Maple... is a Voice of Life. Her life is tied to the world. When the world is destroyed, so, too, is she, meant to pass on with the last lives she was meant to protect. And yet, Telum was destroyed...

It seemed that everything was going awry, one way or another. So many people bickering and yelling and as much as it energized Diyem, this was not the time. Buzzing was getting louder; protests and shouts and accusations, just as the haze had warned would happen. Just what would strengthen the...

His ear twitched again. That seemed to be a 'tell' that he'd heard something interesting. "...How do you mean, not treated like actual human beings?" he asked. "We don't treat Thyme or the others as human... but the way you said that, I think the meaning of the phrase is different. Could you...

Diyem raised a hand. "Let's not accuse one another of betrayals or treasons or anything of the sort," he immediately said. "Soda was a master manipulator. He fooled us all and put just enough doubt in us that we didn't immediately spread that information. It is not the fault of any individual...

Pop was discussing with Cola about what Koa said, and Cola quietly nodded to confirm. "But... Soda wouldn't do that," Potluck said quietly. "S-Soda's my friend. He wouldn't... ever..." Diyem had advised that Potluck bring his helmet just in case, and the Silvally's talons were squeezing at the...

Sword and Shield arrived as the last that Diyem had planned to show, and then he nodded to himself just as Joule's eyes widened with the realization. "She's... what?" he repeated in a whisper and then, completely uncharacteristic of everything they knew of him, he sat down in complete silence...

Despite the fact that their technically-largest member was not with them, the Poppin' Arms Guild Lobby felt horribly crowded just then. Diyem took the liberty of calling for everyone that he could for an emergency meeting. And so, almost everyone had gathered, whether they'd fallen asleep or...

"It won't be too much of a strain?" Diyem said, frowning. "It was difficult enough from where you were in the Tree to here. Going from here to across the world is a completely different tale. Rrgh... but it may be our best choice for now. Allow me to power them." And after a bit of work and a...

A wave of awkwardness washed over them. "Joule... Oh, no." Cal looked down. "Who's... going to tell Joule?" "We spent all this time trying to save Joule from the Blacklight for Maple, and now..." He paused, then snarled to himself. His great, shadowy tail slammed on the ground. "That was why...

"That seems to be the case," said Diyem, going into a sitting position not unlike Brisa on guard duty. A sentinel. His dark eyes drifted, taking one final head count. They had everyone, save Maple. They'd all come to save him. He glanced at Xerneas, who was prodding at some nearby roots. "This...

Chapter 11 - The Worldcore The battle against Red was a frantic struggle to see who could get their big volleys out first, and thankfully, while Red opened with a devastating advantage, it was Team Spectrum that was able to effectively counterattack all at once. But it also didn't look like Red...

Diyem turned around, staring at the sky as it finally darkened. Everything was calm. Only the distant rumbling and roaring from Maple and Eien, muffled by layer upon layer of the Tree of Life, disturbed that silence. "How long," Diyem said, "until the Tree breaks?" "We have at least a few...

Congratulations once again on a hard-earned victory! A quick housekeeping thing, but in general I'm pleased with the in-advance calculations being done for everyone's turns. I would appreciate if turns themselves were determined an hour before they're due, to give an extra hour to calculate the...

"Maple, this is your last chance to get ahold of yourself before we seal you here," Diyem growled. "Then the way they're going to help you will only be a painful one." He dodged and weaved between Maple's blows, but inevitably a handful of them struck his body. He was more sturdy on all fours...

The strange bauble of energy, which looked more like a transparent wisp that had been planted in the ground--so easy to miss, especially because Buffet's presence in particular seemed to loom over it like a wild Pokemon and its egg--flashed slightly. And then, shortly after, it became brighter...
