The woman and the gears share a collective "oh shit" moment, before she makes a motion with one hand. The protective shield dissipates, and the gears whir together rapidly. If that's a charge move, they only have a little bit of time, but a little bit of time is all they need.

The gears spit toxic liquid at the attacker. It splatters half across him, and half across the ground in front of him.

Hello all! Silver the Hedgehog here reporting from Skystream Jungle, the site of a large VermilineCorp Factory. Normally security protocols would be too tight to allow me in here, but I was able to slip through on account of some rather extreme panic in this part of the factory. This is my chance to show you all what V-Corp has been up to. We all know they're perhaps the most ethically bankrupt corporate entity in the multiverse, but now it's time to see just how bad it is. Blister, you ready?

Let's go

The hedgehog and pal enter the massive concrete structure - or what's left of it. Something happened here that caused quite a bit of it to rapidly accumulate disrepair. He eventually discovers the cause - what looks like a large train station fell from the sky on top of it. He looks around for a window to look into...

Across the train station, odd little creatures could be seen - rabbit-like people, rabbit-like people but with helmets and armor, tiny yellow fuzzballs that moved with a mind of their own - but perhaps the oddest thing was the one that couldn't be seen. The quiet tap-tap-tap of something on floor tiles, smooth and measured despite the destruction. Something well-acquainted with this building.

That is what the hedgehog can notice, just looking in through a window. The rhythmic tapping can't be heard very well from the outside, but once he's inside- the acoustics must have been very good in this place before its wreckage, because they still are. A simple sound echoed down halls and halls of broken walls, and the closer you get to a noise, the harder it is to pinpoint it... unless you know exactly what you are looking for.

Unfortunately for the woman and her little piggyback companion, all her energy seems to have gone into the start. Although, to be fair, shooting light and electricity at her opponents tends to work better. A few bolts strike her, but she manages to keep them away from her companion. It's the chain attack that does her in. Despite her running, it does catch on her feet. She stumbles. She trips. And she hits the ground. The set of gears comes to her aid, although, without hands or telekinesis, all it can really do is set up a brief protective barrier.

She stood straighter at the new appearance, briefly alarmed before again moving on quick feet, seamlessly dodging each bolt and even using her own electricity - gathered in her lower, fuzz-covered arms and taken in whips by her normal hands - to send one careening back towards its caster.

The set of gears she commanded once again shot light out of its core towards the assailant. It would mostly hurt the eyes, but it was also hot enough to sear the skin. Not too hot, though. It was clearly well-trained.

It seems Silver's found his white figure- a woman, in a long white coat with red stripes, gray hair spilling over her back and coming to points by her cheeks. He can't quite see her face before a huge set of gears comes in to tank the few bullets that would have hit, aided by a protective forcefield of sorts, or before the woman moves faster than a human being probably should. She's well-enough acquainted with these by now. Dodging their horrible aim is a cinch.

It's the weight on her back that's throwing her off a tad. As soon as she started moving again, the rabbit person behind her was scooped up in a pair of fuzzy yellow arms for what would've been a piggyback ride were it not so currently deadly. She gestures with one of her free arms, the ones where humans normally have them, and it doesn't take a word for the set of gears to fire off a bright flash like a cannon.

As he descends down the hall, the previous sound of something tapping on the floor grows in volume... and in speed. It's notably somehow in sync with the marching, like a heartbeat across the body.

Along with the rest of the noise, there's something else- the cries of Pokemon. The cries of Pokemon fighting.

Unfortunately for him, the white figure seems to have vanished quite completely, assuming the other sounds aren't it. They can't be, they're too numerous to be a single unknown person.

They're not upstairs, in a wrecked break room, or downstairs, in a slightly cleaned up room - at least, the glass in the corners can't stab someone's feet as they walk anymore - and they certainly aren't in the main room outside of it all. He would have noticed. Maybe they're down one of the many halls...? There are a lot of them, all labeled with specially colored signs.

The floor here is slightly less difficult to navigate, with debris pushed against the walls more than strewn about the ground. Despite their efforts, whatever the white was can't be found, but up close a couple things can be better seen.

The "door" was actually an elevator, nonfunctional and jammed open an inch. The pamphlets were like advertisements, for Gear Station and Nimbasa City, Castelia City and Undella Town, Anville Town... And at the back of the circular room, a set of staircases. One up, one down. Painted black and white, respectfully, although the white stairs only threw their disrepair and dirt into sharp relief.

The window they looked through seemed to lead into an office of sorts- pamphlets scattered about the desk and floor, some sorted into stray stacks, a rolling chair with one wheel replaced by a stone taped to it in order to keep it upright, a microphone and lamp set up on the desk, both broken, filing cabinets along the back wall that were all closed and some degree of battered. A single, heavy book sat atop the cabinets, an inch hanging off the edge. If you lean really far to the side and squint, you can make out the outline of a door of some sort.

No one was in this room. Which was strange, as it was built directly into the middle of the main station. The tapping seemed to get closer far too quickly for its pace, and something white ghosted by in the reflection of the window... But it was gone just as fast, with no trace of the source.

[i-am-3mm3t]

A jarring CRASH jolted the woman in white awake. By some instinct, her hand flew to her waist, where she found four familiar spheres. Looking down, she confirmed that each of her partners - her closest friends, she knew before knowing - were safe and accounted for.

She stood too quickly from the couch she'd been sleeping on, fully ignoring the headache that came with the action, and surveyed the room with the eye of a trained professional. Even so, it didn't take one to see that the place was in absolute shambles. The walls were wrecked, screens were cracked, furniture was strewn across the floor in various states of disrepair. The sight of a blocky stand with a cracked glass orb inside made her especially upset. She glanced back at the couch. It was... Relatively unharmed. A miracle, for reasons she didn't know how to consider.

She couldn't call for help from here. She wouldn't know who to call for.

With the Truth of the situation laid out before her - unable to fix the room, unable to contact anybody from here, unable to even see clearly through the splitting migraine - the woman turned sharply on her heel and marched to the nearest door. There should be other people in this building. She was pretty sure of that, anyway.

... WHO THE DIST ARE ALL THOSE PEOPLE.

Vengeance of the All-Devourer: Part 3: The Fall of Quantuvour

Quasar paced back and forth in the Temple of Pale Archer, trying to form the next part of his plan. He knew any minute now Quantuvour would enter the dreaded final stage of its feeding cycle, but he started developing an idea on how to stall that. So there he was, hashing out the specifics with the Echo of Pale Archer, when Clara rushed in

Quasar! We have an emer-

She seemed to notice him deep in thought, and stopped

...what's the matter?

i think I know how to stall the final feeding, it's just what comes after I'm stumped on. We're gonna sever the worm in half with that explosion in the Heart, but what do we do about it falling?

I think... I have an idea

[i-am-3mm3t]

Emmet had expertly commanded his Pokemon, and he didn't even have all six out- although, six might've been a little much. Three was already a tricky endeavor, and he was a Double Battle Specialist. He must have slipped up at some point, made a miscalculation, because suddenly Omega was right in front of him and-

His Pokemon all screamed. The Galvantula rushed to his toppled body, panicking over the point-blank shot he'd just suffered - no doubt it was critical - and the Klinklang stuttered in the air, grinding gears halting for seconds in between each distraught click. Eelektross, though... Eelektross was enraged.

Sparks flew as it sped to protect what was left of its Trainer, which was most of him save for the damage to his clothes, and the most violent Discharge yet went off in a dozen directions at once. Even Virus hadn't seen this kind of electricity, and she had stolen Emmet's train. Its eyes were honed in on the robot responsible for the carnage, and, ignoring the turn rules of battle, a Thunderbolt cracked down on Omega.

Opportunity Nebula, Kit Fisto, Plo Koon, and Crispin of the BBA Elite Four had been running inside a downed V-Corp starcruiser within the Belly of Quantuvour, the All-Devourer, for quite some time. They had been making their way from BBA following a bright glowing green light that seemed to promise safety. Eventually they came to a very secure door, which the Jedi sliced open, only to find a robot on the other end, but not the robot they were expecting

GAHHHHHHH!!!!! OPPY?!?!?!?!?!?

TOP MAN?!?!?!?!

[i-am-3mm3t]

Before August can reach the little spider, someone else walks up to it, and bends down to allow it to disappear into the fuzz of his second set of arms. Emmet Trewyn seems awfully calm for this situation, and as Viper is preoccupied with trying to survive this encounter, no one else sees the slight twitch to his smile and the rigidness to his stance, both usually impeccable but now as hard as stone.

"Excellent job, Mint Bark. Return to your siblings. Your mother and I will take it from here."

He turns his head - just his head - to face Omega, politely tipping his hat as though that will have any difference in the fight.

"Hello. I am Emmet. I am a Subway Boss. The worm we currently reside in has eaten my station, however. You are the Messiah. You are not invulnerable. Follow the rules. Safe driving."

One hand unclips a Pokeball from his belt. Then a second. Then a third.

"Follow the schedule. Everybody smile."

Each Pokeball is thrown up into the air at the exact same time, almost lazily. He's fought his fair share of cultists.

"Check safety. Everything's ready! Aim for victory!"

With all four arms, he strikes his signature point-and-call, though it does feel a bit more electrified than usual. His Pokemon - Galvantula, Eelektross, Klinklang - all cry out in unison with his final statement, and attack.

"ALL ABOARD!"

Despite very much being there and aware, Emmet seems to be stubbornly ignoring the rest of them. His eyes and hands are solely on the train, checking it over to find the extent of the damage and possibly, possibly, have Elesa fix it once all this is over. He flinches at the sudden yelling from Ana, but that's about all the brainspace he can devote to the group of people here.

"Don't break anything. Else."

Oh, and that, apparently.

Vengeance of the All-Devourer: Gear Station Attack

//ooc: transcript of a Discord RP with @that-one-poison-trainer and @i-am-3mm3t

Anastasia Viper Emmet Gyro Zeppeli Medic

Storm Eagle

As Quantuvour's attacks reach their height, so does Anastasia's worrying. As such, she departs Incursionist Alley with no real destination in mind, which puts her out at Gear Station, going through the Unova Door (which would be the same one Top Man, Gamzee, and Virus entered the station through). Emmet's been having a bad feeling this entire day. Maybe it's the weight in the air, maybe it's the news he read of a discolored sky. He's heard of a discolored sky before. It hadn't ended well for any of his family. Or maybe it was just a bad day combined with the requirement of people. Who knows. ... Or, it could be someone else coming through that door again. He'd reinstalled security cameras down there. Nothing would escape his notice, or his wrath. He flung his uniform coat on, and started down to the abandoned tunnels. Viper notices how upset Emmet looks and runs after her

hey boss! Everything alright!?

I saw something on the cameras. Just making sure it isn't a problem! You are welcome to come with if you have nothing else to do.

He doesn't stop his pace, but he does make an active effort to make his monotone voice not sound pissed off. It really didn't take long to get there, and when he did, he stopped. Who the hell was that?? The person was not the miscreants. Rather, it was a woman he'd never met before, who seemed to be enjoying watching the Joltik from a distance

Oh? Am I not supposed to be here? I'm sorry, I was just watching those cute Pokemon. They're kinda like Quasar's spider

My apologies, ma'am, but you are correct! You aren't supposed to be here. These tunnels are abandoned, it is dangerous. And those are Joltik. All mine, so there is no need to report an infestation.

Again, sorry. It's just... everything's too much right now!!!

Anastasia seems on the verge of a meltdown. Poor girl. ohhh shit. Emotions. Emmet briefly glances at Viper, then decides no, he shouldn't push this off on his employee despite how immediately awkward he feels. He examines the static electricity hanging in the air from all the Joltik.

Ah, it's alright! Here, why don't I take you to the main station where things are cleaner and less... Damp? You can bring some of the Joltik, if you want...

It's all my fault! Quantuvour's looking for me! Stanley'd be ok right now if it wasn't for my stupid hide falling here thinking I could be happy! And I haven't heard from Quasar, Oppy, Gamzee, or Clara so I think they went the same way! sees she's being spoken to No. You should just leave me. All I do is bring misfortune

Ma'am, I really must insist. We can get you some water and snacks, and keep you safe from whoever is looking for you. Gear Station has very good security.

Emmet'll pretend he didn't recognize a few of those names... One in particular. Viper runs in and notices Ana

sorry boss, got caught up with- Ana?! It's me Viper! Stanley's friend

You, um... Know her? Do you know how to calm her down?

she's a friend of a friend Emmet, and I have no idea what I'm doing

Viper? ...NO! I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU TOO!

Ana tries to run but trips. Viper runs to her and tries to help her up. Emmet carefully steps forward, avoiding the webbing even though it couldn't trap any of them if it tried, and offers a hand to Ana - one of the normal ones, with minimal Joltik fuzz on it.

Ma'am, you are currently inside of a Battle Facility. People here come to challenge their skills. If there is anywhere your pursuer can be fought off, it is here.

yah! It takes someone with real skill to beat my bosses! I may not fully understand what's going on, but I think you could use 5 minutes to breathe Ana

Ana stops, but then her eyes grow wide and she jumps over Viper and attacks something behind them, which recoils, allowing her to get her bearings, and for the others to see her holding a pair of knives far more expertly than a normal person would

I have to fight again... I thought I could leave that life behind...

HOLY SHIT?!

the creature isn't downed yet, as it bears its swords, and 2 others come up behind it. This is far above Viper's skill level so her plan right now is to just hide behind Ana

On instinct, Emmet releases his Klinklang, Tick, and sends it to attack. A Steel-type wouldn't take much damage from swords. The Duelists spread formation, each confronting a fighter. Tick's Steel type helps, but these things are relentless. Ana takes to dodging, looking for an opening on the Duelist's vitals. Viper tries to think of a plan to deal with the guys, opting to send out her Chandeleur and commanding it to attack with a fire type move. Seeing the Chandelure, Emmet commands Tick to use Thunderbolt in conjunction with the Fire-type move, knowing from experience that both things combined hurts a lot. The Duelists are staggered, but not destroyed, but it's enough for Ana to get a kill-blow on all of them in, dropping them with that last little bit of damage.

Victory! Verrrry impressive, you two.

He clapped his hands once, already looking around the tunnel for any more attacks. Tick seemed on edge.

we should get to somewhere safer, no doubt this is another one of Quasar's situations you help a guy beat some robots one time and now he thinks he can just call you up whenever to go in inter-dimensional journeys

Yep, to the main station. I will call the Depot Agents. Very exciting, yep!

He started tapping away at his Xtransceiver, presumably sending out a group text based on the lack of any actual calls.

come on Ana, we got you

They run toward the station, but then a massive BOOM tears through the tunnel and an enormous spike crashes through the tunnel, right behind where they were only moments before. Ana starts shaking like a leaf, about to fall to her knees. Viper tries to hold up Ana

It's happening again...

don't worry! We're gonna keep you safe!

Emmet barely stops himself from saying "AW CRAP" out loud, and instead starts ushering Viper and Ana out of the tunnels.

Come on, come on, these tunnels are even less safe now.

He sends out another group text.

Change of plans: Evacuate everyone. Now.

they arrive at the hub of Gear Station, right as another spike hits, blocking off part of the exit. Emmet makes a Sound of some sort, that vaguely, in Pokemon language, translates to a curse word.

Well, no building is complete without emergency exits! You two find one, I need to guide the crowd.

He rushes off, towards the main office. Viper takes Ana and guides her to an emergency exit, only for that to be blocked by a gaggle of swarming creatures with the same vibes as those Duelists earlier. Viper sends out her Chandelure, Garvantula, and Scolipede to form a triple attack against the creatures

Surprisingly fast for how the crowd is rushing around and panicking, the intercom springs to life with a little bing-bong! Emmet immediately starts telling people to evacuate Calmly, saying where every exit is, etc. The Balls are not strong, but it is enough time for the emergency exit to be blocked by another big spike. There's another update on the intercom, to inform people that one emergency exit is now unavailable. Emmet must be looking at the security cameras. One thing becomes apparent about these spikes: in addition to blocking some of the exits, they also appear to be spawning more of the monsters, in many varieties. More directions come from the intercom, and the Depot Agents that are present are valiantly fighting against the monsters in order to get people out. It's... Kind of succeeding? Not very well, considering the situation. Someone just let out a Hydreigon. Viper runs with Ana and her Pokemon to another exit. All the while more spikes are dropping, the exit gets completely covered and massive booms and monsters coming from other tunnels means that spikes must've hit other tunnels. ANd the monsters attack more than just people - the station itself and its trains aren't safe either. The intercom cuts out for a minute while Emmet laments the loss of his trains and tries not to start losing his Entire Mind over Everything. Viper bursts into Emmet's office

I can't find any exits! Also is this a bad time to mention I've been considering putting in my two weeks notice?

It's a terrible time for anything, really, but I won't be upset about that!

Emmet says, trying desperately to find an exit himself on the map of Gear Station.

This would be SO MUCH EASIER if Ingo hadn't taken today off.

Ear-shattering blasts make them aware that the main stairs of Gear Station have been reduced to rubble by a larger Shadowglass with rather potent weaponry

He just... Turns, slowly, towards the thing that destroyed the stairs, and very calmly hits a button on one of his Pokeballs. His Crustle comes out, and he points at the Shadowglass.

Stone Edge.

... hey girlie where did All of your emotion go? The Dracomortar takes a big hit, and recoils. At that moment the intercom is hijacked.

Nebula Incursionists! This is the Unseen Shield to the Nebula Incursionists! Do you read? We see you but we can't reach you on foot, so we'll have to do an extraction this way

Emmet these guys are with the incursionists! They're here to help!

Oh and sorry about the roof

Emmet's hand twitches. He speedwalks back to the intercom console, slams his hand on it, and, with a very large smile, says:

What do you MEAN SORRY ABOUT THE ROOF!?

Three circles on the roof faintly glow, as if a strong light from above them is shone, then they explode. A rope is lowered through each of the three holes. Viper grabs onto one of the ropes. Emmet quickly recalled his Pokemon, deciding to trust the Incursionists despite the fact that three of them stole one of his trains, and grabbed a rope as well. Suddenly a tremendous cracking is heard, and the station lifts into the air, ground it's on and all, smashing into the escape crafts (//Corellian YT-2400 Light Freighters, for those other of you with a sci-fi spaceship special interest) and grounding them. The force of the station lifting into the air causes Viper to fall to the ground. She tries to crawl out of the way of any falling rubble. Emmet YEEPs and clings tight to the rope with all four arms, managing not to fall over thanks to both that and the experience of moving trains.

Well so much for that plan

YOUTUBE POOP GUY?!

Look Viper's really stressed out right now she's gonna say some awkward things. Emmet is barely keeping himself from saying fuck. Although, in this situation, a couple swears could be permitted

Can someone please explain what seems to be the problem here??

multiverse stuff probably

"Multiverse stuff can go-"

don't say an insult don't say an insult don't say an insult don't say an insult

"... Take a nice long walk in Lostlorn Forest."

... you can say fuck if you want

He's gritting his teeth so hard in that smile.

Right now is the time to stay calm. I'll say fuck later. At home. With my brother.

haha you said fuck

Tea kettle noises as he tries not to say fuck again. Hey girlie you know you can let go of that rope right? Apparently, he does not. Up, up, and up the Station goes. Into the sky, into orbit, into space, up to a massive hole that opened in the Worm's mass. The Station is taken into it as it closes, eventually coming to rest in a dark, cavernous space that fluctuates ominously, slowly moving toward a dark mote at the far (and I mean FAR) end - which they hope against hope isn't some kind of crusher, black hole, or other harmful apparatus of digestion. As the station is yoinked away, the lights rattle and go out as their power sources are snapped.

what. What. WHhmmm. Okay. So. The entire station is here. We are cut off from power. Several dozen people and my staff are still in the building. And... We are still moving. Do I have this right?

yah I guess

Viper turns to Ana

how are you holding up?

It takes a while, but she eventually clocks the whole situation

I knew it would end up like this... I never should have allowed anyone near me...

hey, Ana, it's gonna be alright. we're gonna get through this, we're gonna save Stanley and get Gear Station back where it belongs so I can do all the proper quitting my job paperwork

Actually, I should have some of that. .. uh, somewhere.

Emmet looks around, realizing the amount of stuff that got knocked over and jostled in the chaos.

...I don't know... And even if it does... Should I be saved? When all I've ever brought anyone is suffering?

... you should meet Virus sometime, she's got all the same issues

Suddenly erupts a bright green light the same color as Quasar's Convytezynce, a stark contrast from the dark purple of everywhere else in here. It seems to promise safety, so those around start going toward it

High-Stakes event announcement. Warning: High-Stakes

THE VENGEANCE OF THE ALL-DEVOURER IS IMMINENT!!!!!

Reblog if you’re interested in my space kaiju-themed rotomblr event involving giant worms, time travel, dimensional encounters, lingering powers of ancient gods, and at least one insane robot

The worst fear of the multiverse has been realized: Quantuvour, the All-Devourer, has been released from its prison of time and has resumed its feast on the multiverse. It has set its sights on the pokemon world and has begun to circle. The All-Devourer is too big for any earth weaponry to damage from the outside, and gives off energy preventing Deity-level Legendary Pokemon from getting close, and the dimensional deities who first sealed it no longer live. The only hope the world has is for bold adventurers to enter its body and kill it from the inside out, attacking at 2 major points: its heart and its brain.

Vengeance of the All-Devourer is an event on the lower end of high-stakes open to all of Rotomblr (and Gliscord (discord) if preferred) in 3 parts: First your muse will survive an attack from Quantuvour’s minions at a landmark from the region of your choice after Quantuvour appears in the sky, shooting its spines around the landmark. The part will culminate in the landmark being lifted into Quantuvour’s stomach, where your muse (along with all the other muses) will make their way to Gear Station within the stomach, and begin part 2. 

Part 2 is a collaborative fight against Quantuvour’s Heart and an insane robot named Omega, ending with Quantuvour preventing a chain reaction from Omega’s exploding core from destroying it by consciously funneling the energy away into its attacks on the Earth, needing you to run to its brain. 

The final part will be an attack on Quantuvour’s Brain as it begins the final stage of its planet eating process. Its spines cause the planet to shrink and it positions itself to swallow the planet whole. After the success of the attack on Quantuvour’s brain, the chain reaction started in Part 2 will destroy Quantuvour, its front half plummeting to Earth to form a new continent and its bottom half forming a planetary ring system around the Earth. All landmarks will be returned to their original conditions and positions, except for Gear Station and Blueberry Academy, which are lost in the dimensions somewhere (finding them will be a future plot point)
