Gotta go back. Back to the past.
"Really now? You honestly think it's a good idea for the two most chipper, sunshine and smiles members of the team to escort a ball of living negativity?" Esper shook his head. "You'll kill him with kindness. Literally. We should just kick his core and watch it roll in the general direction of the infirmary. That ought to help him."

"How much time do we have before we have to fight again?" Cynthian asked, eyes heavy with fatigue?

"Three days or so," Arceus estimated. "Get your rest. We'll need it. I have some plans to make to stop that blast, and the rest of us will need to figure out how to defeat Joule proper." There was a grave look in his eye, and he nodded to the Creation Trio next. "Come. We have planning."
"I don't remember the last few minutes," Dialga's head mumbled. "How did I stop time?"
"I think he had to control you," Palkia said. "But... I don't blame him." They all gazed at the attack frozen in the sky.
"We need to figure something out," Dialga agreed, following Arceus away.
"Do you think kicking you would help, Diyem?" Owen asked.
"...I don't... want to answer that."

Esper had the biggest shit-eating grin on his face.

From within Icetales’s bag, Petram started wiggling and his ectoplasm pooled from his core. He yawned and shook himself, before poking his head out of the bag.
“Welp! That was a good rest! What did I miss?” he said, oblivious of everything around him.
Icetales blinked and glanced at Petram. “Oh! Thou woke up. Hail the stars,” responded the Ninetales, before rubbing his muzzle on the ghoulish pup. “Well, um… to say it simply,” he gazed toward the sky, “that happened.”
“Hm?” Petram turned to look at the attacking dragon frozen in time and tilted his head, as the latest memories of the Ninetales’s brain rushed into his plasma. “Huh. Neat. This is the first time I’ve seen the ‘last minute before catastrophe’ in my entire life! Granted, I didn’t live long, but…”
Icetales chuckled nervously. “Well, let us hope this is not the last minute…”

"Be a dear and take me there too, Icetales," Cynthian said with a groan.

Icetales nodded. “I sure can, yes. Let us go so that the nurse can patch thee up.”
“Cool! But, huh, can I stay here? I wanna try to make a sense of these weird time-freeze shenanigans,” said Petram, rubbing his forepaws together. “They seem fun!”
The Ninetales stared at the Vulpix for a long while, then tilted his head. “I do not see why not. Howbeit, do not exit from that temporal shield, or thou will return to that apocalypse outside.”
“…Tempting proposal. Very tempting, indeed. An apocalypse isn’t something you see everyday,” muttered Petram, earning an unamused glare from the other fox. He raised his paws defensively and laughed. “I’m just kidding! Chill! I’m not that reckless!”
Icetales cocked an imaginary eyebrow.
‘Well, forgive me for fostering doubts about such claim…’
Petram smirked, having detected the thought through their telepathic link. “Daddy… No snarky thinking~!”
“Just… take care, all right? Sir Cynthian and I desperately need some long-deserved rest, and my mind is already brimming with concerns,” replied Icetales, his ears drooping and his tails wagging sluggishly. “I do not desire to be concerned about one more matter…”
“Well… yeah! I promise! I don’t want you to be worried about me,” chirped Petram, flashing a reassuring smirk. “So! See you around, Daddy!”
A couple of last nods and the pairing split up, with Icetales following Owen and Cabot to the infirmary and Petram exploring the speed-boosted town while thinking about what fun stuff to do.

Soul listened quietly, soaking up the information. They had decided upon a plan. A brilliant plan.
"Well, if the attack is based on light... What if we just put a big mirror between it and Destiny Village? Mirrors reflect light, so it should stop the attack!"

Oh knee on
The chaos of everything had... simmered down, it seemed. They'd have a chance to recover and prepare, which Vix really needed. She held her bag closely and floated away from the others, her waxy form still hardly holding together. She just needed to be somewhere to clear her thoughts, and find a way to... help Puddle.
If she still could...
If she still could...
[R9] She Will Dismember You (Nate, Rocky, and Cuicatl)
<><><>
Well, Nate needed to replenish his item stock, giant fucking blacklight dragon in the sky or no giant fucking blacklight dragon in the sky. The giant fucking blacklight dragon in the sky probably made it even more important than ever to grab a few revivers, honestly. As if there was even the faintest chance they'd be able to go toe-to-toe with the guy for more than a couple seconds without getting completely vaporized and items would make the faintest shred of difference.
Or maybe there would be an item here that would give him some kind of idea. They had all kinds of weird shit, right, like orbs and crap? Maybe one of those could help somehow. Maybe some vendor would have a dusty old trinket in the back they'd been hanging onto for a rainy day, a "Get-That-Fucking-Glowy-Dragon-Out-Of-The-Sky Orb." Sure. That could happen.
And okay, maybe the shopping district was pretty close to Destiny Village's best bars, but seriously, he wasn't about to go out drinking now. Not when there were plans to consider and actual shit to get done. But they did happen to be pretty close.
Rocky wandered along after Nate, chirping over unusual/"cool" items and regurgitating whatever passing thoughts he had, same as usual. All around the crossroads people were talking in hushed voices, glancing up at the sky, but nope, just another fucking day for Rocky. Nate wasn't sure he actually admired that level of blind faith in heroism or whatever the fuck, but from Rocky's perspective it was probably pretty nice. From Nate's perspective it was annoying as hell.

“Shopping time!” Val squealed. She actually had money here, and a fair bit at that, which automatically made it better than home.
“Last shop before nuclear annihilation, best make it count,” Cuicatl mumbled.
“Hush, you. We’ve fought gods before. Lots of them. We’ll find a way out of this. Or you will. You got the brain and all.”
“Not entirely true. You’re better at people. And getting out of bed.”
And going shopping! Val spotted one of her teammates in the thin crowd. “Hey! Nate! It is Nate, right?”

Nate turned at the sound of his name. Not a voice he recognized, but--oh, it was the zweilous. And both her heads were up and animated this time. "Oh, hey. Yeah, it's Nate. Have we, uh, I mean, are you both you, or...?"
"Hi, Cuicatl!" Rocky said cheerfully. "I wasn't around the last time Nate saw you, but he remembers you, so I know who you are!"
"Yeah, that's Rocky," Nate grunted. "Anyhow, uh, you're looking better. I guess the whole psychic surgery thing worked?"

“More or less,” Cuicatl grumbled. At least she was talking. Thankfully Vix had improved her mood enough for this.
“Yeah! We get split in half. It was weird. You should try it sometime.”
“Yeah! We get split in half. It was weird. You should try it sometime.”
"Uh... Heh, well, I dunno about that. I ain't exactly got anyplace to put a second, uh, me."
"You could put it in my head," Rocky said cheerfully.
"What? You ain't even got a fucking head, you're a fucking rock."
But Rocky was enjoying a big laugh at his own brilliant joke or whatever the fuck and wasn't about to respond to that. Nate scowled at him--no reason not to, the zweilous couldn't see--and addressed Cuicatl again. "You got that stone I left for you, right? It hatch yet? I hope you got something better for a familiar if it did."

“Yup! It’s just in our bag. Let me get it for a second...” Valentina reached in and pulled it out with her teeth. It twitched in her mouth. Hard. A tooth might have gotten loose, which wasn’t a huge deal since zwelious regrew them all the time but it still hurt. She spat it out. Gently, of course. “I think he kicked me.”
"Oh, yeah?" Nate leaned forward to look, a bit nervous about what the zweilous might produce from her bag. Rocky was an ass, but he'd never knocked out a fucking tooth for Christ's sake.
Of course the familiar just shoved him out of the way. "Oh, wow, kicked you? That's rude," Rocky said. "Who is it, huh? Hello? What's your name?"
"Rocky, for fuck's sake, you can wait for three fucking seconds," Nate said, rubbing sourly at the shoulder the familiar had shoved aside.

The rock began to shift. Probably. Val had no idea since she couldn’t see it. Whatever-it-was let out a long yawn and shook itself off. Please be him. Or at least Alice. Cuicatl would be devestated if.
“Hi, Mom,” it said. She said. “Who do you need me to bite?”
Coco. Great. Fuck. Cuicatl was going to be inconsolable. “Hi, Coco. No one right now. Maybe a dragon eventually.”
Cuicatl’s head flopped onto the ground. Again. Damn it.

Nate squinted at the familiar taking form. Lotta teeth on that one, and they glowed a briliant red. He didn't recognize the species, but... some kind of fossil, maybe? He wasn't sure which one. Looked pretty badass, though. And those red teeth and eyes... Yeah, definitely looked like you didn't want to mess with that fucker.
"Oh, she's so cute!" Rocky was basically over the fucking moon. "And your name's Coco? That's a great name. Hi, I'm Rocky! We should be fr--oh!"
One of the zweilous' heads toppled over like a deflated balloon. "Oh, fuck," Nate said. "Are you, umm...?" Goddammit, this was exactly what had happened the last fucking time he'd met the zweilous. Was it something about him? Was he just super toxic to dragons somehow? Maybe they oughta chuck him at Joule, knock the bastard right out of the sky.
