Season 2, Episode 6: Far, Far Away
Aether Paradise is a manmade island that normally floats on the seas of Alola.
'Normally'.
It's currently neither on the seas, or in Alola. Surrounding the pristine white buildings of the Paradise are an overcast sky and a ruined landscape - this is the world of the Ultra Ruins. A small team of trainers in hazard suits is flying in on a variety of Pokemon, looking around the out-of-place Paradise.
As the leader dismounts from her Hydreigon, she allows the small Pokemon she's carrying in her arms to float freely as the other two Trainers with her return their Braviary and Mandibuzz before releasing a Sawk and a Throh.
The strange bottle clipped to the side of her suit bounces against her hip as she walks up to the front door of the Paradise and knocks.
"Hello? Is there anyone in here?"

"Hello? Is there anyone in here?"

...huh. Unlocked. She peers in through the open door carefully, calling out.
"Hello? Does anyone need assistance? We're a rescue team, looking for President Lusamine?"
no subject
Ok. So: looking-like-the-enemy had seemed slightly less risky than being even-somewhat-unarmored in the vicinity of a berserk Zahra. The Ring-Spirit is NOT remotely confident enough in their 'friendship' to believe that Zahra would both recognize him and care enough for that to stop them. Sure, Zahra may have been demolishing the other, actual-Blackwatch-members' armor easily enough, but. Armor is armor, unarmored is unarmored.
Only Zahra's screaming had just now cut off, and super-abruptly, soooo... hopefully they're unconscious. Somehow. Finally. At least unconscious enough that the Ring-Spirit can risk switching out some of his stolen Blackwatch Pokearmor for an attempt at identify self as not, in fact, legit-Blackwatch,,
So Mako's greeted by somebody in full Blackwatch Pokearmor Appearing from who-knows-where (the armor had clearly been BLATANTLY insufficient, of course he'd also been hiding behind shit) hurriedly removing his helmet, revealing long white hair (which immediately forms a pair of horn/antenna-things?? why) "Infiltrated, your side, ah. ...Everything's gone to hell, so assistance is. probably needed, yeah."
He doesn't look freaked out. He's fine. Totally fine.

"Sure. Ah...Hoopa, can you start setting up evacuation points?"
The small Pokemon floating at her side salutes and giggles before producing brass hoops out of nowhere.
"You can go through Hoopa's portals to reach our base, there are medics standing by. My subordinates can help with coordinating the evacuation, but I'm kind of under a time crunch here, so could you possibly lead me to President Lusamine?"
no subject
He gently scoops Zahra up to carry them through the portal and shakes his head, voice rough with disuse. "I don't know where she is. The president was in the base when it...moved, or whatever, but I searched when I woke up and found nothing."
no subject
He peels off a few other pieces of the armor (dropping them unceremoniously) as he moves to join Kaiba. "The fuck set them off? Your double show up again?" He might not remember any of them much, but it still feels uncharacteristic of Zahra to just... explode. Explode and then keep on exploding,,
He isn't sure if he's worried exactly, but something is Very Wrong and - "Where's their Pyramid-thing?" They're always wearing it, what happened. That's gotta be tied to whatever went Very Wrong.
...He has an uneasy feeling there's way more Very Wrong here than he really wants to deal with. He decides to ignore that.

"I checked the bottom rungs with Faba and Peni and no sign of Lucy and oh I didn't know we had guests," said Tony, his armor retracting. "We have a rescue team now?"
"Oh thank god," groaned Faba, looking at the Ultra Recon Team with gratitude as he accepted a clean canteen of water from one of the medical people who bundled him in a refractive blanket and ushered him through one of Hoopa's rings.
Looking at the others, he asked, "What'd I miss?"

...
The Ring-Spirit already has Ryou's complexion, but now somehow he's managing to pale more. That can't be healthy.
no subject
Ominous.
Mako will just. Help organize.

Seto responds to Peni's prodding with a snort and lugs Zahra forward, though not before he notices the spirit's staring. He looks down and...ah.
"The puzzle..."
Noa. He swallows hard and quickens his pace before anyone can see that glimmer of inconvenient emotion. Let them rest, and then he's figuring out what he has to tear apart to reassemble that puzzle.
no subject
"Mr. Stark! Is there anything particularly critical that needs to be evacuated?"

no subject
The Pokemon nods, giggling again, before floating over.
"Lead the way, Mr. Stark."

"I hate that thing, it gives me the heebies. Do kids still say heebies? I'm gonna toss it into the box. Friday, set repulsors to magnetize."
no subject
Pause.
"...so, uh, what was in that other open box? Because I'm guessing it wasn't a postit note."
The Post-it in question just says 'needed it back! phym'.
no subject
no subject
As Mako asks that, the box moves from an impact from inside.
"...forget I asked."

Hoopa nods, a little uneasy, and sends the box through.
