darkSpyro

OoC: Thanks for considering pankakesparx. I won't make a post for the story right now. For one thing, I don't have any ideas of what to do.

"I think it was coming from that way," Vern mentioned.

OOC: I should probably bring in Erynil soon, but I'm having a hard time staying motivated in the RP.

OoC: I am too. I want to mainly focus on my story and role play on bulbagarden. It is getting hard to focus on all of that. Plus, the story for this RP is approaching its end. I wonder when the conclusion will be drawn...

OOC: I agree with you both. Part of it's probably just me being lazy, but I'm not sure.

OOC: You guys are probably right. the story is just about ready to end. and considering I've been gone so long YET AGAIN, it's probably a good thing that we just wrap this whole story up now. I have an idea of how we could possibly wrap this up:

1.The characters go and save Calia from the bandits

2.All our characters have one last battle against the Outlaws that caused the apocalypse, and finally finish them once and for all

3.The cure that Historius created gets out to the SEP, expands and runs through all the rivers and lakes, and heals any Pokemie that touches it, thanks to the discovery that the cure mixes well with water, and the world finally begins to rebuild upon the past years of devastation.

This is just an idea I have. If we do this, then I will scrap the whole idea of hiring a co-GM since we'll be finishing it, and try to get back on as much as I can to wrap up the story once and for all, and I can call this RP a success and leave it to rest.

Of course, the least favorable option is to completely shut down the RP now and leave it to rest. This will leave the whole story in the dust, of course.

I also have an idea of combining zook's, MugoUrth's, amazingSpyro's, and my stories and turning it into one big story that I will post on my fanfiction account, since our stories were the most involved and you guys have been with the RP the longest. If we don't finish the story, i'll just create a new ending on my own, but I wanted permission from you guys first to see if you would be cool with this idea.

Either way, it's about time to finish this RP. I'd much prefer to just finish off the story, but it's up to you guys.

OoC: I would be fine with it. Just keep to my style as much as you can, alright .

OOC: That would be delightful. ...You're not gonna change Migx's species, are you?

OOC: of course not, I'm not changing anything. All I'd do is take all the posts from here and convert them into one big story.

Of course, there is still the matter of whether or not we finish the RP or scrap it altogether. If we scrap the story, i'll try everything I can to make up a last act. Like I said, I'd much prefer we finish this RP off instead of leaving it in the dust.

OOC: So... what should I do with Erynil right now?

OoC: I would love to go on, but where do we begin with saving Calia?

OOC: Everyone would probably have to go back to Fourteen somehow, since that's where my characters were last. Calia's still working to get out from her end, but I haven't decided what she'll do next.

And I just want to say, I really like the fan fiction idea. I like the idea of it all being one big story instead of having so many pauses in between posts like it does now.

OOC: If anyone is currently held captive, I can have Erynil show up to interrogate them.

OOC: alright. since we've all agreed to this, and Crystal hasn't showed up to post, I'm going to go off of what I was going to make my characters say to start off this ending. and once we finish up I'll try copying this whole RP into a document and start work on the fanfiction version. i'll let you guys know once that is put up onto fanfiction, but it may take a long while before I have the time to actually start working on it.

"Well," said Heart, "I guess next we have to go help Calia. Where did you guys last see her?"

OOC: Sorry for the long post, but I needed to catch up on Calia's half of the story.

"We last saw her outside of Fourteen." Pete replied. "She saved Emily from being taken as well, but couldn't catch up to us fast enough." Cameron nodded and said, "My guess is that the bandits' main camp is somewhere in that area. If Calia's there, there's no garuntee that we'll make it in time."

By now, Calia had tried just about everything to get out of her cell. She tried picking the lock, but then the bandits found her out and put an electronic lock on the door that only electric pokemon could open. She tried squeezing through the bars, but to no avail. She attacked the guard who brought her food everyday, but that only resulted in another torture session by fire. She even tried to make her way into the ventilation shafts at the top of the cell, only to find out that they were protected with lasers and booby traps. Now, she was refusing to let them do or give anything to her. The bandits couldn't enter the cell without being barraged by cutting, scraping leaves. She wasn't eating, wasn't drinking, and wasn't sleeping. The guards were worried that if she died, there would be no way to get the information they needed. Calia always laid in the darkest corner of her cell, almost too weak to move. She knew that if she did this for much longer, she would not be able to defend herself when the guards came into her cell, let alone stand up to do anything. She would have to sleep soon. Her strength dwindled with each passing day, and nothing Sapphire said or did was helping, even though she tried her hardest. Despite her weak state, Calia was still clinging to life, hanging on to the fact that her friends needed her. And she told herself that if she died, the last thing she did was protect her friends, and that was all she'd ever wanted. To have them survive. One of the guards stopped by her cell, left to grab an electrike, and came back to have him open the lock. He stepped inside, moving slowly. Calia uttered a low, guttural sound, struggling to her feet and wincing with each step she took. Her eyes closed in pain, and her legs shook. The guard became more bold and took a few steps closer. When he was almost close enough to touch Calia, she opened her eyes, glaring at him. His eyes widened, and he began to back away. "Get out." Calia snarled. Then, with a screech that left Sapphire covering her ears, Calia let out a magical leaf attack that seemed to shake the whole building. The guard stumbled about frantically to get out of the cell, and when he did, the electrike slammed the door behind him. He was covered with scrapes and cuts and gashes. The electrike called for a medic and looked back at Calia. She had sunk to her knees, leaves slowly floating to the ground around her. The electrike looked around, noting that some of the prisoners in nearby cells also had cuts, but Sapphire had hidden behind the wall and was mostly unharmed, just frightened. The electrike looked back at Calia, horrified, and asked, "What are you? WHO ARE YOU?!" Calia gave him a glare as well that sent him running away as fast as his legs could carry him. "And stay out." She whispered, before dragging herself back over to the corner and collapsing in a heap, her breathing slow and labored. Sapphire cautiously peered out from behind the wall, as did some other prisoners, and stared at Calia in utter shock and awe. What Calia had just done should have been impossible in her condition. But the longer she watched Calia's silent vigil, seeing Calia barely breathing, she whispered to herself, "Calia needs help. And she needs it fast."

"Perhaps I might be able to..."

Just then, walking into the room with the guards watching over Calia, a sinister character showed up. A Malamar no less, and one she may have known before. "Well well well, how much we've grown since our last encounter." Erynil was not afraid of Calia, no matter what her power was. "So it's help you need right now. Perhaps I might be able to help heal you. But maybe, just maybe if I do I might want something in return." Erynil was a devious character. You had no idea what she was planning. But it's also possible she was good of her word. So maybe she would help Calia.

"I don't want anything from you." Calia growled softly. "I don't trust you, and you have no reason to trust me. I almost killed two of your guards just now. You have to rely on yourself when you're locked up like I am." Calia's breathing was shaky, and she couldn't get up anymore. Her eyes still glowed with determination, however. "So unless you give me reason to trust you," she said, "I won't."

"We should still give it a try," said Soul. "After all, we managed to save Crystal from those Outlaws in time. Maybe we'll make it." Soul looked down at a panting Crystal. "But who will watch her?"

Heart stepped up. "I'll get her to Labyrinth. We'll rest up there and restock. She'll be safe with me. You and Tika go help Calia and meet back with us at your parent's old house."

Soul looked over to Tika. "I'm fine with that," said Tika. "It'll feel nice to kick some bandit butt."

"Alright then," said Soul, looking at Pete, Cameron, and Emily, "We're ready when you are."

"I don't think you heard me," Erynil said. "I said I can help you if you want. But like I said, all I need is your help. I want you to help rid the world of the Pokemies once and for all. After all, isn't that your mission to do so?"

"We're gonna fight this to the end, too," Migx said enthusiastically. "Yeah, me too," Vern said. "And you two..." Edgar and Bently seemed a bit shy. "Errr... I don't really feel good right now. Maybe I should sit out," Edgar said. "Yeah. Being a Pokemie... it may have taken out more than we can handle," Bently added. Vern shrugged. "Alright, you two can sit out, but me and Migx are coming along."

"We're ready." Pete said. "These bandits will get what's coming to them." Cameron nodded, but added, "Heart should take the remaining cure with him. If the bandits get their hands on it, who knows what they'll do." Emily went over to Heart, and said, "Take this for us, please. Calia risked everything to keep it safe."

Calia nodded, but growled, "Your bandits just spent the last few days torturing me, trying to figure out what I was hiding from them. If I give you what you want, how can I be sure you won't double-cross or blackmail me? As I said before, you've given me no reason to trust you."

Heart took the cure from Cameron and put it in his pack. "You can count on me. No one will get their hands on this at Labyrinth." He looked at Soul and Tika. "Good luck. And stay safe."

Soul nodded. "You too. make sure Crystal is taken care of."

Heart nodded. He then turned, holding Crystal in both his hands, and took off for Labyrinth.

OOC: bump?

"I suppose you do have a point," Erynil said. "Maybe I should apologize for what happened. We only want the same thing you do. Nothing more, nothing less. We want to put an end to the Pokemies just like you do. In fact, it can be said we knew not what your intentions were when we tried to take the cure from you. We assumed you were hording it, so we attacked you. If you still don't trust me, that's your choice. But remember, if you follow me, you might see safety. If not, you will likely rot here."

OOC: anyone?

OOC: hello?

OoC: Sorry, with your latest story post, I can go now.

Conner looked at Soul running in the distance, knowing that there was something he would need to help with. "Well, my old friend, should we go follow?", Conner asked. Historius popped his head out of the pack.

"Of course we'll go! I can practically read your mind! Follow Soul!", Historius exclaimed. So, with a smile, Conner ran towards Soul, to help save Calia.

OoC: Edited to fit my original idea.

OOC:@zook- Soul is not going to Labyrinth. Heart is taking Crystal there to give her time to heal, and everyone else is going to help Pete, Emily, and Cameron save Calia.

OOC: Waiting for amazingSpyro.

OoC: I am just getting plain confused now. I am working on multiple writing projects on the site. I do not want to quit, but if this RP takes too long to finish, I don't know... I guess I can edit the post to fit my plan.

OoC: I am just getting plain confused now. I am working on multiple writing projects on the site. I do not want to quit, but if this RP takes too long to finish, I don't know... I guess I can edit the post to fit my plan.

It's because amazingSpyro hasn't been on. right now everyone is preparing to save Calia, but we're waiting for amazingSpyro's go to leave and begin the search.

For now, I guess we just wait. :/ I feel like a hypocrite about mentioning amazingSpyro when I've probably been the most inactive user on this.

OOC: bump.

OOC: Man, I am so sorry. I've been way too busy with IRL stuff lately. I've got some spare time on my hands these next few weeks, so I'll try to be more active.

Calia thought for a moment, then said, "You say you want the same thing I do, and I get why you might, but why would we be hoarding the cure? I'm immune, but my best friends aren't, so naturally I'd want to cure as many pokemies as possible to lessen their chances of becoming one of those monsters. Second, my friends have the cure with them, and have likely already found those who made it. And third, I'd rather put my trust in my friends to come rescue me instead of accepting a deal with you. This could easily be a trick, so I'll have to not so respectfully decline your offer."

Pete and the others followed suit. "Is there an airport in Everest?" He asked. "We came here using the one in Fourteen."

"Alright you little scoundrel, LISTEN UP!" Erynil erupted. But she tried to keep calm afterward. "Now listen. You are in a life-or-death situation. I am the only one who can help you. Let's say a little bird flew by. That little bird happened to tell the guards execution day would arrive early. The guards come in without warning, then they open fire. Why that would be the end of poor poor Calia. We wouldn't want that to happen, would we?" Erynil had a feeling her empty threats would not convince her to join, so finally she got serious.

"No? Still won't join? Well..." Erynil stared deep into Calia's eyes, her eyes swirling like madness. "How about now?" Erynil was now trying to hypnotize Calia into helping her. "You will do as I say. I only want to help you."

OOC: I think it might be an interesting plot twist if Erynil could get her to work for her.

OOC: I agree. We'll have to see how everyone's characters deal with that. Pete especially. It'll definitely be interesting. Gonna wait for another post for it to happen, though.

"No..." Calia thought. She couldn't let this happen. Not now. She'd come too far for it to come to a simple hypnosis. "Is that all you've got?" She managed to get out. It was becoming harder to resist, and she knew she couldn't hold out much longer. She let out another earsplitting screech as she unleashed a last resort attack on Erynil, which sapped her of any remaining strength, and she fell to her knees.

OOC: that would be an interesting twist to the story. also, welcome back aS

"There should be an airport somewhere near that area," said Tika, "My brother and I have used it before a long time ago."

"I didn't want to do that," Erynil said to the guard. "But she's just too thick-headed for anything else to work. Now... what to do first?"

OOC: Any ideas?

OOC: Thanks, pancakesparx. And MugoUrth, maybe the bandits could make Calia attack her friends when they return from Everest.

"Let's head there then." Pete said. "Calia doesn't have much time left."

"We should help her regain her strength first." The guard said to Erynill, "and then we should make her kill her friends. They're bound to show up sooner or later."

OOC: bump. and where's zook?

"Excellently devious," Erynil said, clacking her tentacles together. "Hopefully no one will stand in our way."

OOC: now what happened to zook?

OoC: All right, I'm here. Sorry that I have not been on. I've been focusing on other matters.

Conner looked over to Tika. "I know of that airport, though I do not know if it still is in commission. There are not many within Everest area anymore. Even several years back, there wasn't anyone. It was really just me and Historius. But we can try. There could be a few stragglers.", Conner stated. With this plan, he hoped that it was still in commission.

"We'd better get there fast, then." Cameron said. "Fourteen is less than a day's journey by air."

Sapphire peered out from her hiding spot behind the wall, and upon seeing Calia's defeated state, shrank back and put her head in her hands. There was no way she could help Calia now, unless a miracle happened. She couldn't stand up to Erynil's bandits alone...

"Now what to do with her first..." Erynil pondered. "First we better help her get her strength. Boys, let's give her a nice big meal and treat her for any wounds."

"I'll run ahead and see if there is anybody left.", Conner stated. He then ran off towards the airport. It wasn't too far off, and it was directly north of where they stood. He hoped it was still active.

"Careful Conner," Vern said. "We shouldn't do things alone with bandits out there." Vern decided to follow.

OoC: Sorry about not having a new story post, but I will have to leave the site soon. I have made the decision not to get the next Skylanders game, but I have to stay away from any influences in order to make sure I don't get it. As soon as this RP ends, I might be gone.

OOC: You know what I do when I decide I'm not gonna buy a game? I just plain don't buy it. I come to this site a lot and still don't want to buy Trap Team. Heck, the main reason I got the first two Skylanders was cause I found them for a deal. I guess some people are different, but I don't see how coming here would make you guy that game.

OOC: welcome back, zook. and i agree, just because the game is being talked about here doesn't mean you have to leave.

If you do, then fine with me, its not my decision. But thank you for considering to finish this RP first.

"I'll head up with Conner," said Soul. He ran behind Conner to the old airport.

"It doesn't seem abandoned," he said, "Maybe we should check inside."

OoC: I don't really want to leave, but what else should I do here? Other than this role play, I don't have anything else.

Conner looked at his destination after his recent run. The windows were gone, everything was in ruins. But yet, he still saw movement. That came with a glimmer of hope. The airport might still be active. He ran over towards it.

It turns out that the airport members stay underground to avoid Pokemies. After a bit of searching, he found the heavy door, lifted it, and went inside. Inside, there were several flying types, apparently a little paranoid after their long stay in the underground cavern. Conner explained that he and his friends needed to get to Fourteen. But it was useless. They didn't want to leave.

Pete came up to where Conner was, and soon saw the flying pokemon below. "Please help us." He whispered. "We don't have much time at all."

The guard nodded and went to fetch the healing herbs. Meanwhile, Calia was still on the floor, a vacant look in her eyes. Everything inside of her was screaming, "Get up! Fight back!" But it was no use. She wasn't in control. Not anymore.

Soul came up to the group of flying Pokemon. "Please, we need help." he said.

Tika shortly came up after not seeing Soul for awhile, and looked in the door. Suddenly she got a look of surprise.

"Elizabeth, is that you?"

A Pokemon from the group walked into the light. a Togekiss had walked out and stepped up to Tika. This Togekiss was a bit smaller than most normal sized Togekiss, and had a Bright yellow stub on the top of its left ear, and a backpack around her.

"Tika? Is it really you?" the Togekiss asked.

Tika immediately hugged the Togekiss named Elizabeth, tears rushing down her face. "My Arceus, I thought you were dead!"

Both began crying within their embrace. Soul looked, a bit confused.

"Uhh, I hate to interrupt, but who is this Tika?"

Tika came back to reality and realized all the other Pokemon were watching. She wiped the tears from her eyes and calmed down. "Right, sorry. Guys, this is Elizabeth. She was a close friend of my brother in the SEP. She helped him take care of me when I was just a Pichu. I always thought she died during a Pokemie horde years ago."

Elizabeth spoke up. "I never did. I managed to escape, but just barely. I made my way here after that battle, really banged up. These Pokemon helped me get back to health. Although they didn't believe in leaving the place because of all the Pokemies that had surrounded this airport at the time." Elizabeth looked outside. "But i guess they will now that there aren't that many Pokemies, but that may take awhile."

"Liz," Tika said, "These are my friends. Look, we need your help." Tika explained everything to Elizabeth, from meeting Soul and the others to finding a cure to Calia.

"We need help getting to Fourteen," she said. "I know we just met again and i'm really happy, but we have this other matter that we absolutely need to get to."

Elizabeth stayed silent for a moment. "Alright, i'll help, but on one condition. You let me help with this. I have prior training in the SEP and would be a great help to you guys."

Tika looked in delight. "I would love that! Well, if the others are fine with it."

"I'm down." Soul said. "How bout you guys?"

OOC: sorry for the long post, i kinda had to establish this sort-of new character.
