Of Rising Calamities Beyond the Cosmos: Chapter 7

The clouds, the morning blue sky, the birds—and just the world around them in general blurred by, meshing together in one huge swirled mess like an abstract painting on a white canvas, as the speeding figure of Rayquaza zipped through the air, weaving in and out of the flock’s way who flying near the group.

Upon reaching a city that he spotted below them, he swooped down and flew over a few buildings, casting a huge shadow over the citizens bustling through the busy streets and causing them to look up.

The legendary dragon briefly smirked at the different looks of joy, shock, wonder, awe, curiosity, and slight recognition flashing through their wide blown eyes as he passed them by while Celebi, on the other hand, just casually waved at the gathered citizens with a smile on her face.

And before the group knew it, the Sky High Pokemon ascended and flew through a giant white cloud, bursting free from out of the other side seconds later.

This caused Nero and others to shiver. So, without a moment to lose, the gang shook the moisture off their clothes before it could even began to settle.

‘These two must do this kind of thing a lot, which would make sense seeing as some of these people didn’t look that surprised by Rayquaza and Celebi’s appearance. This must be normal to them I guess...’ the devil hunter mused with closed eyes. ‘Heh, imagine that...living in a time where pokemon exists...’ a smirk appeared on his lips as he thought this. ‘Living in a time where it’s normal to see a giant legendary dragon pokemon who rules the skies and a small mythical fairy who has the power to travel through time fly over your home, and you think nothing more of it as you go about your day.’

“Hey Celebi, what were you and Rayquaza whispering about back at Tony’s home?” Lady asked from behind him.

Without looking back at the group, Celebi sat up from her lounging position she had unknowingly slipped into earlier and answered the devil huntress.

“{Rayquaza was letting me know that there was a disturbance around the island.}”

“A disturbance?” Elize and Darcy echoed.

That didn’t sound good to Nero’s ears. “What kind of disturbance?” he opened his eyes. “Did someone attack the island?”

Celebi folded her arms as she looked down at the yellow ring on her friend’s head. “{No, not really, but there is a battle going on near it,}” she ignored their shocked gasps and continued speaking. “{Apparently, three of our friends are involved, and they’re fighting against three speedy powerful opponents. Though from what it seems...}” the green fairy gave a pause as she looked up, her features twisted into a frown.

Teepo gulped a bit. “What is it?” he anxiously asked.

The frown on Celebi’s face deepened.

“{Other than looking like it got hit by a tidal wave—which is quite possible in a scenario like this, the island is still intact and seems to be holding up pretty well,}” she looked back at the group out of the corner of her blue eyes. “{But I have no clue how long that’s gonna last...}” the psychic/grass type looked ahead and finished with, “{Even though I’m worried about Manaphy, Kyogre, and Lugia, I’m more concerned about those on the island.}”

“I hope those poor animals, monsters, and spirits are alright,” Jude said as he looked over and below the flying serpent pokemon.

“I hope so too,” Alvin muttered in agreement.

Silence enveloped the group soon after that.

At least until...

“{Plus...}” Celebi spoke up in a sad tone, gaining everyone’s attention. “{There’s the situation with Jane we need to keep in mind about. If we don’t hurry up and bring her to Tony then—}”

“{I believe we’re all aware of what could and will happen, Celebi...}” Rayquaza quietly cut in, his attention solely focused on something else. “{My initial plan from the beginning was going to be alerting Tony of the situation, and possibly get his help to stop this battle—or end it before it escalates any further,}” he explained to the group right as he stopped in front of a cluster of clouds. “{But now with this news...and now that you guys are here, you can assist me with this mission instead,}” after catching flashes of blue light and lots of movement below him, the legendary pokemon narrowed his yellow eyes and made his move.

Before any of them could ask why he was descending or speeding up, a blast of wind and blue electricity shot up into the sky and collided into one another fifty feet away from them.

KABOOM!

“Whoa! Is that the battle you were talking about earlier?!”

At Darcy’s exclamation, Celebi looked down. “{Ye—aaaaas!}” she yelped in surprise, nearly flying off her seat when she and the others felt Rayquaza zip to the right to avoid a stray beam of blue-white fire. “{Careful Ray! We’re still on your back you know, I almost fell off!}” she hollered in protest, ducking her head as a bolt of blue electricity soared over her and her dragon friend’s head.

“{I’m trying!}” he shouted over the roar of the wind as he dodged another wave of stray attacks that almost him. “{Greaaaaat...}” he growled and flew above a crackling black-purplish orb of energy that exploded in the spot he just left seconds ago. “{Whoever the girls are fighting up against, they’re firing at us now!}” he said and dodged the second Shadow Ball that was fired at them.

Suddenly, he was struck from the side by a speedy glowing blue-yellow blur that came out of nowhere and slammed into him.

“{What the—A Wild Charge attack?}” the sounds of everyone’s cries as they fell off his back drowned out his voice, and Rayquaza looked up through half-lidded eyes only to spot a familiar semi-tall yellow and black-blue cat with a long ponytail-like piece of fur in the shape of a lightning bolt extending from behind its upper back, black zigzag stripes on various parts of its body, and pure red eyes fly by him. “{No way...Zeraora? But why are his eyes red—}” his surprise was cut short when he spied some kind of metal headband contraption with a glowing red jewel on the mythical pokemon’s head. “{I see now...}” he whispered in realization as he felt his now uncooperative body fall from the sky.

“{Oh no...}” Celebi, who was falling somewhere below him to his left, whispered in horror. “{They’re...}” the rest of his friend’s sentence became nothing more background noise to him as the roar of the wind drowned her voice out.

And the last two things Rayquaza saw in the distance before he closed his eyes in pain as the electricity surrounding him ripped through his body were two other familiar mythicals. It was a small cream and orange colored rabbit-like pokemon with large V-shaped ears, pure red eyes, and two tiny wing-like tails on his butt, and a small smoky grey and green-yellow colored humanoid pokemon with pure red eyes and green-yellow wisps on the back of his hands.

“{Not Victini and Marshadow too...}” came Celebi’s faint comment.

To their shock, the two pokemon were also wearing the same metal contraption on their head like Zeraora had on his.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A wave of crackling pain exploded through Lugia’s whole being as she fell out of the sky and into the water with a giant splash. The Diving Pokemon didn’t have the time to react since it all happened so fast. And she even didn’t see him coming at first!

One second she’d been trying to fire a multitude of a Hydro Pumps at the little fire and psychic pipsqueak, who had successfully dodged every single one of them, and just when she thought she had him cornered behind a pillar of ice she made in the water with Ice Beam earlier, Zeraora zipped through the makeshift ice battlefield in the next second and jumped into the sky right at her.

He clipped her in the stomach with a powerful Wild Charge, and out of the corner of her eye right as she crashed into the ocean, she caught sight of the Thunderclap Pokemon flying towards a group of people and her two friends who appeared in the area.

BOOM!

“{Damn cat is about as strong and fast as ever,}” she involuntarily closed her eyes and turned her head away from the sight of them falling into the section of water that had not been frozen over with a pained wince.

“{Lugia!}”

The legendary psychic and flying type snapped her eyes open to see Manaphy land on the ice field in front of her.

“{Are you alright?}” she asked.

Lugia gritted her teeth as she waddled through the water and climbed onto the field. “{I’m...fine...}” she panted a bit as she slowly got up.

And it looks like she wasn’t the only one because out of the corner of her eye, Lugia spotted a green blur flying out of the water and back into the sky within a blink of an eye, which made her sigh in relief.

“++Oh? You two are still standing? Impressive...” came the low and warped monotone voice of Victini. “Such magnificent creatures you all are. Powerful, intelligent, and quite resilient. I never would’ve thought Midgard held such...interesting specimens. So much more useful and less dreadful than the humans and non-humans alike of this pitiful planet.++”

“{Shut up!}” Lugia roared as she and Manaphy turned their attention the two pokemon descending from the sky in front of them, hovering just a few feet above the water. “{You’re annoying and awfully chatty right now for whatever reason. But I’m assuming the only reason you’re able to talk to us through them in the first place is because of that blasted headband thing, which is giving you some kind of hold over our friends and granting them extra power they didn’t have before!}” she retorted back with a growl. “{Mark my words whoever you are, fiend! Once this is all over, I’m gonna find you and destroy you for turning my friends into mindless puppets you hear me!}”

Marshadow gave off a dark smile that looked so unsettling on his face it was enough to make Manaphy shiver in fear as she took a step back and hid behind her friend’s giant tail.

“++I will be looking forward to your future visit, Sea Guardian.++”

“{Don’t Lugia! It could be a trap!}” Manaphy tried to reason with the Diving Pokemon.

“++Oh don’t try to stop her now, Little Water One. I’m quite eager to see what she’s like and how her psychic powers stand up to mine when we meet face-to-face.++”

The glint of interest as well as the knowing look in both Marshadow and Victini’s eyes confirmed her suspicions. Manaphy knew exactly what the mysterious fiend was gonna do if Lugia wasn’t too carefully.

Sensing her friend’s turmoil, Lugia place a place wing on Manaphy’s head. “{Worry not, Manaphy. I will be careful,}” she said softly in reassurance, not taking her eyes off the fighting/ghost type and psychic/fire type. “{As if I’ll let this fiend touch me!}” she bit out with disgust swimming in her harsh voice.

Victini narrowed his red eyes and was about to say something until something caught his attention. “++What...++” he uttered, turning his head towards the island sitting some miles away behind the Diving Pokemon and Seafaring Pokemon. “++Well I’ll be...he’s here,++” an eerie smile crawled on his face, much to the confusion of Lugia and Manaphy, when he spotted a familiar person approaching the crowd of pokemon standing near the water on the island.

“{What are you...}” Lugia noticed his diverted attention and her eyes widened in shock when he flew past her, heading towards the island. “{Oh no you don’t!}” she quickly fired a Hydro Pump at the Victory Pokemon to stop him.

“++Shadow Ball!++”

Unfortunately, Marshadow’s attack flew in the way and collided with her water attack, which exploded upon contact.

Lugia growled in frustration. “{Damn you!}” she cursed, turning her eyes back on Marshadow, who finally decided to land on the field with her and Manaphy.

From not too far away, she could still spot Zeraora in the sky firing barrages of electric attacks at Kyogre from out of the corner of her eye. And despite the type disadvantage and state the Sea Basin Pokemon was in, Lugia knew her friend was doing okay.

However, there was one thing that concerned her.

Where was Rayquaza, Celebi, and the group of humans at? She couldn’t see them anywhere in the sky now.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A sudden uproar of surprise slipped out of the mouths of every single pokemon when Victini appeared before them in a flash, “++Fire Blast!++” and attacked them with a huge blast of intense fire in the shape of 大 symbol.

Some of them tried to dodge the attack, but they weren’t very successful. And so, they got blown back in the process.

“++False Asgardian Prince Loki, we meet again...++”

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the sound of his name being spoken, the raven haired god looked up and spotted Kagome and some of the other pokemon lying on the ground in front of him and his large group, groaning in pain.

“++I see you managed to get free of your chains but not your muzzle. Has that silver tongue yours been silenced for good this time?++”

After kneeling by Kagome’s side and confirming that she and others were still alive, Loki slowly turned his attention to culprit responsible for this hovering off the ground in front of him, fifteen feet away, and narrowed his eyes at the small mythical pokemon.

“((Do I know you?))” he asked, completely ignoring his mocking question as he stood to his feet and laced his hands behind his back.

“++You may have not met this...pokemon...here, but I assure you, we have met before, Liesmith. Surely you haven’t forgotten my voice in the two weeks you got away from us, have you?++” Victini tilted his head.

Recognition flashed through Loki’s eyes as he assessed the pokemon in front of him very carefully. “((Ah! Thanos’ Chief Thinker and Sorcerer of the Black Order, Ebony Maw,))” he said with a grimace. “((I see you’ve found another...victim...to break in and play the role of a puppet to carry out your dirty deeds.))”

Victini raised an invisible brow at the slight hitch in the god’s voice, which may have been unnoticeable to others but not to him, and he looked down his nose at Loki, as he if he was the superior being and not the Jotun runt in front of him. “++He’s not quite the loyal follower yet, but he will be soon enough after this,++” he admitted, much to the surprise of Loki, who wasn’t expecting that. “++And it appears I have touched a nerve. Does this bring back fond memories for you, Liesmith?”

“((I forgot how weirdly chatty and obnoxious you can be at times,))” Loki’s aura turned cold in response to the slowly growing trepidation and anger churning within him, bringing a deep chill in the area that nearly had everyone except for the fire pokemon in the vicinity break out in shivers. “((And I wouldn’t consider those memories of mine fond at all, Lapdog.))”

Victini blinked when the last thing he received from the trickster god was a flash of red that briefly appeared in his hard green eyes before they disappeared.

“Loki...”

Gardevoir, who was unfortunately next to Loki, felt the full force of his true emotions that he was struggling to keep down as she adjusted her hold on Jane. And she could feel the half-spirit woman stirring in her arms as she leaned over and whispered right by the man’s ear. “You know this person who’s controlling Mr. Victini?” she asked.

Without taking his eyes off from the mind controlled Victini, Loki spoke back to her in an equally quiet tone of voice.

“((Let’s just say he’s someone who I had the misfortune of meeting and being around with, along with his so-called siblings, at one point in my life.))”

Before she could even form a response that, the ears on mind-control Victini’s started to glow bright gold.

“++Enough stalling! Come forth and surrender yourself, Liesmith!++” he commanded the god as his eyes started to bleed pink from the power he pulled from within him. “++In death, you will find true peace and freedom. Two of the most valuable things in the whole universe, and two of the most valuable things that mankind and non-humans alike striven for at some point in their lives. Even you, Loki Laufeyson, fought for those valuable things too in the past, fervently. You wanted to get them at all cost, but even that spirit of yours wasn’t enough. They soon became out of your reach, and as a result, you failed. Just like you failed at keeping the throne, failed at destroying the Jotuns, failed at winning your father’s love and approval, failed at being an equal to your golden brother, failed at taking your life, and failed at your mission given by the late Great Titan himself!++” he continued his speech. “++But you don’t have to be a failure no more. So come quietly and accept your new fate...accept it just like your brother, mother, father, and the rest of Asgard did. You can join them and the Loki of this universe in the afterlife now.++”

Time seemed to have slowed down for Loki at those words; however, once the Sorcerer’s speech fully seeped into his brain, everything around him came crashing down.

“((......W...What......?))”

He didn’t hear Kagome or Gardevoir shout his name as he slowly sunk to ground on his knees...

Didn’t hear the frantic battle cries of the pokemon as Victini form duplicates of himself and shot Inferno at some of the incoming pokemon trying to stop him...

Didn’t hear Kagome summon a bow and fire a glowing purple arrow at the metal headband on the pokemon’s forehead...

Didn’t her cry in shock then pain when she got thrown back into both Gardevoir and Bisharp...

Didn’t hear all three of them collapse next to him with a groan and drop Jane on the ground in the process...

And, he especially didn’t hear what sounded like Nero and several other people’s voices shout:

“Loki! Get up and move!”

Or see a charging Victini on fire about to burn him alive until he was fifteen feet away.

“++Psychic!++”

He quickly snapped out of his frozen state, eyes blown wide the size of dinner plates, and tried to get up only to find himself stuck in place. He chanced a quick look down, and to his complete shock, he was hit by the sense of déjà vu at the sight of a bluish-white light surrounding his body.

‘Shit!’ he panicked, struggling and working up a sweat trying to break free from Victini’s strong telekinetic hold. And by the time he managed to break free and conjure up a knife halfway into existence in his hand, he was too late.

“++V-create!++”

“Good grief, how could someone like you let someone as pathetic as Voldemort here get the upper hand on you, and nearly kill you!” a familiar voice, sassy and a bit angry in tone, cut in.

Before he could blink, a brown and black colored blur jumped in front of him and took the fire attack head-on.

BOOM!

The God of Mischief covered his eyes with his free arm from the bright light of the flames erupted in front of him. “Oh my god...I can’t believe it...” he heard Kagome along with all of the pokemon in the area slowly get up. “Auntie’s finally up. She’s finally up and standing on her feet!”

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

“{Quite the daring and reckless one your friend is.}”

“{I agree with Rayquaza on this one.}”

When the light that lit up the whole sky slowly began to dim down, Nero and his friends opened their eyes and turned back to the island. “Well, that’s just her. She wouldn’t be Jane Foster either way,” he said with a chuckle. ‘Huh?’ upon hearing the sound of a whirring engine, the devil hunter looked to the side and smirked.

“Sup y’all!”

‘And he’s right on time!’ his smirk widened at the sound of Sota’s voice coming through the huge black and grayish-white alien-like fighter jet he was piloting.

“Ready you guys?” Lady asked.

“Yeah! / I sure am!” everyone else, except for two pokemon who gave silent nods, roared in agreement.

Together, all of them started making their first descent on New Stargate Island.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

“[That girl is going to drain herself even faster if she’s going to do what I think she’s going to do.]”

“[That may be the case, Raiden. But let’s not count her out just yet. I can still sense a lot of fight left in her being right now, even if the poison is sapping some of it away.]”

The two great spirits materialized in the area not too far away from Rayquaza and the others heading down the island. They looked to the left to see a worn out Kyogre fighting an exhausted, red-eyed Zeraora, and looked to the right to see a worn out Lugia and Manaphy fighting an exhausted red-eyed Marshadow.

“[Really? Mind control...]” Raiden pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head with a sigh. “[How pathetic. The wretched fiend is too much of a coward to show his or herself face-to-face, and would instead, use others as their puppets to fight the battles for them.]”

“[Yes, it truly is my friend...]” Gale folded his arms, and with a contemplated hum, he turned his head to the Great Spirit of Lightning. “[So...how should we go about doing this?]” the humanoid cabbit motioned his head to scene below them.

A glint of various emotions appeared in the humanoid griffin’s ruby red eyes as he gauged both fights in his head. “[You go on and head over to the island and check on Jane and the others. Meanwhile, I’ll stay here and help out these three with freeing their friends since they look like they’re ‘bout to faint any moment now,]” Raiden suggested as he drifted downward.

Gale followed him with his eyes, raising an eyebrow as he did so. He wasn’t fooled by his fellow spirit’s nonchalance one bit. “[That’s because you don’t want to approach Jane right now at the moment in fear of playfully mocking and teasing the poor young woman to death,]” he called out and smirked when the humanoid griffin stopped in his tracks mid-flap.

And just when he was beginning to think he got him, Raiden spoke back to him over his shoulder.

“[It’s no so much the fear, but I think the temptation would be too great for me to ignore if I were to go over there now in my current mood.]”

And just like that, the Great Spirit of Lightning glowed bright yellow before taking off toward the battlefield like a bolt of lightning.

A sweat drop appeared on the side of his head as he placed his hands on his hips and let out a small chuckle. “[Well at least you admit it and acknowledge it now, Raiden. That’s more than enough for me.]”

He dropped his hands from his waist and turned his attention to the island, noticing that the light which had engulfed it and the sky earlier has now died down completely.

“[Good. Now I can approach the area without the worry of being blinded by the light.]”

The Great Spirit of Wind glowed bright green before taking off like a mighty gust of wind.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

“++Reality Stonewielder, I see that you finally woke up.++”

“Well yeah, no thanks to your obnoxious speech and you trying to kill everyone here!”

Loki removed his arm from his face and turned his eyes upon his savior only to stare at her, a bit flabbergasted.

Standing in front of him and some of the pokemon, in all of her fiery burning glory, was none other than Jane Foster, glowing with so much power as she held the intense flames of Victini’s attack back with just one hand. And the strange energy, mana, which she possessed, glowed a purple-white color as it wafted off of her illuminating body in waves.

“++How are you...++”

Unknown to the ones behind her, a ghost of a smirk appeared on Jane’s lips.

“I think you’re going to find out the hard way just how useless your attacks are going to be now...” the mana around the woman pulsed, as if it was alive and breathing. “Because such moves have little to no effect...” then the wind began to pick up in response to the gradual build-up of raw energy, and it swirled around Jane like a miniature twister until her whole being became covered in a thick veil of mana-like fire that made it extremely hard for anyone, even with keen eyes, to see inside. “...On someone like me.”

And finally, in a grand explosive burst of power, the veil grew twice its size and blew up in flames that turned from purple-white to blue-white.

“Someone like a half-spirit...”

Specks of mana flames fell around the field, showering the newly transformed Jane standing in the middle of the circled crowd in with its petals of light that shone golden orange the moment they touched her ethereal body, or warmed those under her protection the moment they landed on their bodies.

“...Who wields the power of light...” Jane gave the mind-controlled Victini a fanged frown, her purple eyes narrowed in determination and her fire colored wolf ears flicked back in preparation. “...And the power of fire...” with a low growl, she grabbed his fiery large v-shaped ears and squeezed them, canceling the V-create move out completely. “...With so much ease...” she immediately released the struggling mythical pokemon only to whirl around, conjuring up a knuckle knife in hand as she did so, and flipped it backwards. “Got it!” then in one smooth fluid motion, she turned back and smashed the butt of her weapon into his stomach.

“++Gaaahh!++” he flew back from the force of the surprise attack with the wind completely knocked out of him, and crashed to the ground, flinging up dirt in the air as his body flipped and skidded across the grass until he came to stop at the edge of the island.

Everyone stared in awe at the orange and yellow-red haired half-spirit with her four fire colored tails moving beside her in the wind as she vanished her weapon away.

“Loki...”

Jane’s voice snapped the trickster god out of whatever trance he had fallen into earlier, with such ease too he thought to himself a little embarrassingly, and looked up to see a dark blue hand in front of his face.

Loki blinked, his green eyes traveled from the hand, to the arm, and finally stopped at the woman’s face, who looked at him with a smile.

“Need a hand?”

Without saying anything, he shook his head, politely declining her help as he stood up from the ground with the grace of a panther and vanished his weapon away too. He looked down at Jane, and with a smile, he realized the mortal woman wasn’t that much shorter than him.

Just by five inches from the looks of it.

Still, he didn’t know why he felt so happy about that.

“What are you smiling about?” she asked curiously.

Loki shook his head again, his smile disappearing. “((Nothing important concerning you,))” he told her then gave her his signature grin. “((It’s nice to see you up on your feet, Jane Foster.))”

Jane pouted at him, and was about to say something, until a thought hit her. Then her eyes flew straight towards his muzzle, and noticed how badly damaged it was. Maybe if she...

“((What are you doing?))” Loki asked with slight suspicion in his voice, his eyes staring intently at the hand reaching for his face.

“Just hold still. This will only take but a second,” she moved closer to him.

Before Loki could protest, she touched his muzzle, freezing him in place. Jane cradled the side of his head with one hand, and with the other, she summoned a small pure white flame to the surface to surround the tip of her index finger. Then with a few simple quick taps on the left side, right side, and smack dab in the middle of his muzzle, she dropped her hands and stepped back.

Silence surrounded the clearing, other than Victini, who was quietly groaning in the background and struggling to get up.

“((What was the point of that—))”

CRACK!

“No way...” Kagome blurted out in shock.

CRACK!—

THUD!

Everyone stared at the shattered and melted muzzle embedded in the grass a bit dumbfounded.

Jane picked it up, destroyed the remains of it until there was nothing left behind, and turned around. “You were saying?” she folded her arms, her voice sounding a bit cheeky.

Despite having no words for that, Loki had something else in mind as he stepped closer to woman and whispered one word in her ear. “Why?”

“For taking care of me while I was knocked out from the poison.”

Before he could ask her how in the world did she know that, Victini finally managed to pull himself up, and with a frustrated growl of anger, the Victory Pokemon channeled some electricity into his hands.

“++It seems I have once again underestimated your power, Reality Stonewielder.++”

The God of Mischief and everyone else turned to the worn out mythical pokemon, and the first thing they noticed was the giant crack in the red jewel.

“You sure have,” she glared at him, her tails flickering behind her in irritation. “And there’s a lot more where that came from too! Wanna see it?” the half-spirit unfolded her arms and summoned her weapon back out again. ‘((Hey Loki?))’ she called out to him in her mind.

The raven haired god shot his eyes to her. At this point, he wasn’t even surprised that she could speak telepathy as well.

‘((Yes?))’ he answered back.

‘((This fight is just about as much as yours as it is mine. Think you can help me infiltrate his mind and free this poor pokemon from Voldemort’s control? I’ll even let you get first dibs on him the next time he makes an actual appearance for real...if you’re still gonna be around that is,))’ she offered.

‘((First dibs?))’

‘((Oh! Sorry about the Midgardian jargon. It means you get the first shot at him.))’

‘((I see...))’ he gave her a smirk. ‘((Well then, I accept your offer, Dr. Foster. But what about that poison of yours?))’

She gave him a small reassuring smile, despite the slight hint of pain that quickly flashed through her eyes. ‘((I’ll be fine for now. Just concentrate on trying not to get yourself killed, okay?))’

“++I see that you two are getting along pretty well.++”

Jane looked at Kagome and motioned for her and the pokemon with a single head gesture to leave, who nodded in understanding and herded all of the pokemon out of the way.

Now it was just her, Loki, and the mind-control mythical pokemon hovering in front of them.

“I guess you can say that,” Jane decided to humor him as she gripped her knuckle knife and slid into a battle stance.

Loki mimicked her stance, and brought out his knife again.

Victini narrowed his eyes. “++Two against one is a bit unfair, but that doesn’t matter...++” he looked down his nose at the two and readied himself. “++I can kill you both here now and go after the Stone myself later!++” he charged at them with a nice burst of speed.
