Tully sighs. "Well, sounds like you two got half a clue what's goin' on, so I'll follow your lead. Just tell me who to sneak up on and stab an' we'll be golden.

"Stab them?" Jeremiah stops in his tracks before getting bumped by Nadar.
The group steadily climb the rock in an attempt to reach the upper platform where the Boss resides. Along the way, no matter where or what they were gazing at, an image imposes on their mind. Somewhere in this realm, you see a sullen looking man. Volume and spirit have long left his body, but is unable to completely rot. His head is bound in cloth though strands of his blue hair can be seen. The logo on his outfit is branded with a 'G' that barely escapes their memory as to what it meant.
The man raises his head and looks back at you, ending the mysterious vision for everyone. At the same time, Giratina plummets from the sky. It wakes up and regains control of the sky, stopping yards away from the group. You can see that it's body is battered and bloody with sword wounds from the fight. In a halt, Giratina's red eyes illuminate Sana's face.
Have Sana roll occult knowledge or intuition.
------------------------- Giratina continues to float idle. Making a low growl after passing moment. Its actions suggests it may be awaiting a command, but Sana can't be sure what she needs to do. Nadar on the other hand, gets a bit fidgety at the monster staring into his soul.
"This thing is giving me the heebie-jeebies. Who's gonna help me blast it?" He says as he aggressively waves his palm in the air.

"Stop that!" Forgetting she is dealing with Nadar, who she now has a tense relationship, Sana warns him with a strained tone, against harming a legendary Pokemon who may just want to talk. "He may be curious about us, I'm going to try to communicate with it."
Thus, Sana wanders off and waves her hand at Giratina politely, motioning the ghostly dragon Pokemon to approach her, biting off her nervousness. "Hello? May I ask for your help?"

Numerous tales of extreme violence Giratina is capable of can be read from occult books, even her How to Avoid Being Spooked esoterica. Sana can sense that Giratina does not favor her presence, which means she needs to make to the point question and not small talks. Sana begins to speak.
"We are looking for someone who may be Paradiso's boss, who may be in this world. We are also looking for a way out of this world. C...can you show us where? Please?"
Seeing the wounds around Giratina's body triggers her feeling to want to heal it, but Sana is frightful of angering it. "And... err... do you need healing?"

Yet again a faint, pinging pressure in the back of your head goes off. You sense something far, far away. Giratina roars once again and spreads the demon-like appendages and flies up. The Demon storms through the field of rocks, turning them into space dust. Giratina destroys your path to the top, but its body is close enough to be grabbed onto during the ascent.
Roll athletics or acrobatics to grab onto the rising Giratina!

The group leaps from the floating boulders to Giratina. Nadar and Jeremiah swiftly latch on. Jeremiah loses grip on one hand, but he's strong enough to hold on.
Tully is successful as he lands on one of Giratina's spikes. Sana and Jace are not so lucky as they barely miss their boarding.

Again, she felt the callings to reach the unknown. An irresistible urge to go there. However, it distracted her from noticing Giratina crumbling where she stood. She leaps to hold onto Giratina but she failed.
Sana falls together with the disappearing land. In frantic panic, Sana screams as if her life is in the line, flailing her arms in a futile attempt to decrease the freefall. She then remembered, she can fly, and her ability never came from being a magical girl.
Sana regains her aerial control, attempting to get hold of Giratina.

Tully lashes a hand out and grabs Jace by the back of his trousers, hauling him up to a point where he can grab on.
"Easy there, J. Don't want you goin' down. Sides the team needin' the strength, you seem like the only one around here half as lost an' confused as I am."

"Yeah, this is all pretty weird," Jace admits. "But we have ice, dragon, ghost, dark, and fairy types, so I'm not so worried. Just a little weirded out."
He looks down into the void, not surprised about his inability to make a jump and grab onto a flying dragon. He was never much of an athlete.

With the gang holding on securely, Giratina rises to the top. It creates no room for them to jump off as Giratina directs it's focus to a tiny mobile dot on the ground. A dark figure strafes the area, weilding only a sword as big as himself and a fairly large shield.
"Could that be him?" Shouts Jeremiah. "I think we may be on the wrong side of this now, ya dig?"
The dragon roars as the tendrils on it's back condeses energy into one point and throws it down. The Boss in question impales his sword to the ground and blocks the beam with the mighty shield and redirects it back to the monster. It shakes and lowers altitude just a bit, but enough to land safely if desired. Which Nadar takes without hesitation. ----------------------------- Jace, Tully, and Jeremiah land effortlessly on the drifting rock. Nadar makes contact with the ground and vanishes without a trace.
"Did he get a copy on Gengar, J?" Jeremiah asks.
Giratina tries again to attack the man with a sword and sheild. The world eater opens its gullet in an attempt to to swallow everything whole. The trio can also feel energy being drawn from within the legendary's mouth.

"Probably," Jace admitted. If he didn't, he was going to now, because Jace released Gengar from his pokeball. "If it looks like he is gunning for you, Gengar, just vanish for a couple of turns. Last thing I need is for you to get Shadow Forced into oblivion." Ace had Bite, Gengar had Shadow Ball, and he had Icebeam.
"It's not like any of us are getting very far, just keep a close eye on that Master Ball." Jace considered the mysterious stranger on the platform. Was he the Boss? Jace wasn't one to jump to conclusions, but there wasn't exactly many people here. There wasn't time for too much chit-chat either. It seemed to Jace that the only way out was through.

The man looks over to Jace and Tully. His silhouette is the only evidence of his existence since Giratina's shadow looms over him in this darkened world. You boys think you can lend me a hand? This task looks more than what I can chew. He points the tip of his sword at the dragon. A ball of gastly energy emitted from the tip.
Moments later in the air, Sana feels hot breath on her neck. The shadows slide off Nadar like a blanket when he emerges above Sana. He sends a forceful kick into her side, knocking her off her wand in the process.
"I know that I'll be safe from Giratina." His skin has broken out into a dark grey tan. His hair matches the color the six independent moving tendrils on his back. Gold plated rings surrounds his arms, legs, and creating something that resembles an extra set of mandibles around his jawline. "Decide if you want me to finish you or Giratina. But first, hand me that masterball." Nadar says as he continues to levitate in the air.

As confused and terrified as Tully is, he tries never to let such things interfere with getting the job done. As such, the instant Nadar reappears, he runs at him, seeming to try and ram him away from Sana. Of course, his outstretched arm passes harmlessly through, but he quickly compensates and drops a knife from his sleeve into his hand, using the movement to get a handle on Nadar's motion. That oughta keep him ghostly for a few more seconds at least. He thinks as he growls at the apparent whiff, just enough to audible to Nadar without seeming forced. Tully uses Take Aim.

"Enough talk," Jace said, indicating his pokemon. "We should have finished you when we had the chance. Ace, you're on Nadar. Gengar, get ready for Giratina." Even a legendary will not like Gengar's Shadow Ball.
Ace, on the other hand, seems to relish the opportunity. He rushes forward, jaws leading.
Gengar holds his Shadow Ball, ready to hurl it at the dragon.

Ace's attack brushes past Nadar, for he's seen Ace work more than enough times to knwo how he works. He takes his mind off the Cat Dog and directs himself to Tully. Nadar plants his feet on the ground and lunges a finger towards Tully, carefully poking the center of his forehead.
"No more schemes, I'll kill you now." Without motioning, Tully's feet begins to lift off the floor, gravity's pull has no effect on Tully. Nadar makes a stance with hands converged.
Nadar uses Telekinesis on Tully!

Sana was only trying to remain neutral throughout all the conflict, witnessing Giratina and about to cry for it to stop, until Nadar attacked her unprovoked and flicked her wand away. Sana quickly conjures her wand back to her, inches from becoming a wasted paste on the ground. She felt a tinge of regret and being betrayed, but she never lets them out... yet. She will not give out the death sentence to the world she loved by giving the Masterball out of fear. She knows Nadar will definitely not stop at just Paradiso and them. She remains silent, there is no use being afraid now, Nadar must be knocked out right here if they need to progress. If only Ruby persona is on her side now...
Silvia and Joy are released from their Pokeball.
"Let's go, Silvia!" Sana points at Nadar-Giratina fusion. "Let's go defeat a Dragon!"
Even in the midst of darkness, Silvia calls upon the power of Moon, as she fires its energy at the fake Giratina.

Tully yelps as he's hoisted into the air, but manages to keep his balance. He throws a pokeball in the air and kicks off it, moving a little to Nadar's side and giving him the perfect opening. Dealing with a ghost is tricky, but he's learned a way to deal with them. They can only keep themselves fully incorporeal for short periods, so instead the dematerialize part of themselves to avoid ordinary attacks. They're good enough that most normal attacks are useless against them, but it does mean that you can hit them if you come at them in an unexpected way. And that just so happens to be Tully's speciality. He swipes a knife through Nadar's torso and, as expected, Nadar instinctively makes that part of his body intangible. Which is why Tully stops halfway through the slash, holding the knife inside his gut while it rematerializes around the blade. The moment he does, Cassie strikes, having come out of the ball he kicked off and come at him from the side. She rams into his head, taking advantage of his pain inhibiting his ability to phase. Tully: Swift: Disengage 1 square Shift: Release Cassie Standard: Use Assurance on Nadar
Cassie: Standard: Feint Attack on Nadar Free: Activate Black-Out Strike - Nadar gains an injury and falls asleep. If the attack would put him at 3 or more injuries or less that 25% hp, he faints instead.

Silvia's Moonblast engulfs Nadar in pink sparks. Purple aura ignites around him, blowing away the debris. Nadar maintains his stance, not unscatched, he shouts to Sana to wait her turn. A ball of aura forms in his palms. The ground starts to rumble in anticipation for Giratina's arrival.
Nadar trances Tully's floating movements. Events transpire and Nadar is left screaming in agony. His skin scalds as the attacks from Fairy and Dark begin to sink in. The ball of aura that was once firmly grasped is now weakly held in his right hand.
He grabs Tully's knife hand. "That's right... Show me... your swan song." He drowsily says. Electricity surges between the tendrils located on the back.
"Hey! Can a we get a few more bodies over here! I don't think the three of us can stop this ugly motherf-" Jeremiah shouts across the platform. Everyone in the frontline continues to hold their attack until the final moments.

"W.. what should I do?" Sana's question tainted with uncertainty and reluctance, hoping for everyone to just leave Giratina be, hoping the legendary Pokemon to do the same. Sana uses Don't Stop Now! on her allies. All allies on the field gain Temporary Hit Points equal to your Charm Rank and become Excited.
