Tully blinks at Sana's hesitation. "Er, I dunno, I could use a little help, you could maybe try blastin' this guy?"

Not a bad idea Jace turns his attention away from Giratina to spin around and blast Nadar with an Ice Beam.

Nadar sends his tendrils to pierce Tully's body. Surprisingly they have enough strength to lift the boy higher. Nadar is struck with an unknown Ice Beam soon after. He sets himself on one knee, one look at Jace's firing stance and he's overcome with a ruin in his eyes. The trainers all have moves that he's completely weak against. Nadar expands and focus' his tendrils into once drill like point.
With his options narrowed and his window of opportunity coming to a close. He dissapears into the shadows once more.
Since Giratina will appear next turn, Shadow Force will trigger after the big clash. Everyone can move as normal, but you all must roll perception, intuition, or focus to deduct where Nadar will appear. If you beat the super high DC or get within three points of your possible max roll. You get to counter!

Tully looks carefully at Nadar's disappearance, plotting his most likely trajectory and where he'll probably come out. The done, he runs up to the defensive line against Giratina. He takes out and prepares a knife. "So, ya reckon our chances are just zero or are they dippin' into negative numbers here?"Cassie flaps up beside him, also readying herself... while perching on Tully's head, seeing as this might be her last chance to mess with him.
Tully uses Take Aim.
Cassie prepares Feint Attack.

Even with her heightened sixth sense, Sana is unable to penetrate the proximate spot of where Nadar is under the dark space. There may be no way to avoid the unwanted guest's attack, therefore she needs to anticipate it. She knows it very well she will be Nadar's first target, therefore she needs someone to defend her. She prays, not only to Diancie, but to Joy. "Joy, protect me." Joy stands still, ready to block an oncoming attack. Sana uses Guardian Order on Joy, binding 2 AP on her, and uses Super Potion on herself.

A shadow eclipses over the platform. Giratina shifts into shooting range with ghastly energy churning in its mouth. The serpent intends to turn this rock and everyone standing on it into bits. Will it return to slumber? Will it roam unshackled on this blue planet?
The Boss is the first to shoot Shadow Ball from his Aegislash. He holds that position, wielding the massive sword with a single hand. Jeremiah is the next to follow suit. "I'll need to ask you three to keep a lid on what you're about to see, ya dig?"
With Jeremiah's caution, he inhales deep within himself and blows out a gigantic Fire Blast heading straight for the monster. Both attacks clash against Giratina, noticeably slowing it down but not enough.
NOW! If you really are a Synod, I trust that you'll accomplish better than that man. The boss says aloud, but keeping his focus on the battle.

It was strange. Facing down the barrel of arguably the strongest legendary's ultimate attack made Jace wonder why he was even here. It wasn't simply wrong place, wrong time, he had chosen to go on this journey. It wasn't to save the world, or even his friends, Paradiso probably could have done that without him. No, Jace did this because he had something to prove. He wanted to prove that he was better than everyone thought. Not that he was good, but that he was the best. And he wasn't trying to prove to Paradiso, not to the world, not even to his dad. He was going to prove it to himself.
What the Boss said stirred this spirit within him. A drive to push through, to go beyond his limits. He held out his hands, summoning forth a structure made of ice. He had intended to at least practice this beforehand, but there was no time. As fast as he could possibly muster, Jace created a giant lance made out of ice. It looked more like a giant icicle, but it clearly was meant to be a lance. Too large to be lifted by hand, Jace hefted the lance above his head with telekinesis, the force of which lifted light objects near him, like his hair or the edges of his clothes.
He pointed at the beast. "Gengar, now!" He dragged his finger across the air, as if throwing a paper airplane. The icicle lance flew straight and true, like a bullet. Gengar's Shadow Ball followed close behind, the two attacks driving home at the same point. Jace's hands hung at his side, as if he had just lifted some heavy object. His fingers were blue now. Not as bad as when he had first abused his ice powers, but he still could not control this part of him.
"Sana, Tully, do it!" He knew the two had potent Dark and Fairy-type attacks. Hopefully his spear would make an opening.

Tully waits, knowing that if his attack is going to count, it'll need to happen after everyone else has softened up a spot on the giant beast.
Uunfortuately, it quickly becomes clear that Giratina's moving too fast for people to concentrate their attacks in one spot. Cassie darts forwards, slashing the giant across the front, but Tully's knife, aimed for the wound, simply passes through harmlessly.
Still, not one to stop trying, he immediately flicks out another, bracing himself to, in all likelihood, throw it with his last breath.

Silvia responds to Jace's command the fastest. If Giratina is going to crash on them, they are all going to perish, that is Silvia's conclusion when she brings forth a giant pink energy frothing from her mouth. Soon, the giant pink string of laser flings straight at the giant demon.
Jace's command for Sana to take action moves the neutral girl. She was, however, still hesitant. Her wand shines as Sana brings her wand upwards, a pink shiny storm materializes near Giratina, whether it hits or not, Sana feels like she betrayed someone again, and therefore she was too afraid to confirm. She only muttered softly "Sorry..."
Joy remains on guard for Nadar's presence, who will be appearing rather soon...

Tully narrows his eyes, easily dismissing the urge to be embarassed about his previous whiff. He's far too pragmatic and focused on survival for that. And he has quite a talent for that. Just not in a fair fight.
Because, as it happens, a fair fight is only fair for the stronger fighter. For the weaker, it's ridiculously unfair. And, though hardly unfit, Tully's never had the power that many fighters do, so he's had to find ways around that. For one thing, less power can be stronger than more power if it's focused in precisely the right places - 10 pound of force over 20 square inches is less pressure that 1 pound in half a square inch. A punch bruises you, a knife bleeds you.
But the other secret is, in a way, Judo. Not the actual techniques - Tully's never had the talent or inclination for martial arts - but the fundamental principle: turn an opponent's strength against them. If a 300 pound opponent's flying at you, their weight is your problem. If they're flying at the wall, their weight is their problem.
Similarly, if Giratina is gathering energy to blast you and the land you're standing on to atoms, that a problem for you. However, if someone were to, say, leap in front of everyone and send a knife into that energy just at the point of release, disupting it and either making it explode or channeling it back into the sender...
"Let's see how you like it."
That suddenly becomes Giratina's problem.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQQgXk7YIowGiratina's roar, distorted from the attack he's holding, pushes the smoke away to show that it's still out for them despite the group's efforts. Jeremiah catches his breath and takes a knee. He takes a look at the three kids with a tender smile. "This would've been over if we were against a offensive tackler... Simpler days, ya dig?"Jeremiah takes a step forward. The wind pressure of Giratina being so near makes his mohawk wobble like a down feathers facing a gentle breeze. At the same time, Tully dashes in front of the group, catching Jeremiah off guard. The knife blade and the giant ball make contact. The point almost turns to ash, but manages to reflect Giratina's Shadow Ball. *crack, snap, shatter!!!*A cannon of pain shoots through Tully's arm. Even with proper technique, the size and weight of Giratina is too much for a normal man. The pain grabs Tully, but Jeremiah is there to catch him as well before he falls. The attack shreds through Giratina like a hot knife. His body turns into weightless debris as the hollow mass slams on the opposite ends of the platform. The World around you deconstructs along with Giratina's body. The darkened ground levels and returns to ancient cobblestone. The staircase reconstructs, granting safe passage and farewell to the darkness. The Boss wipes a bead of sweat from his forehead. He reaches down to pick up a golden and jagged stone. With the battle over, Sana involuntarily falls to her knees. With tears overflowing, she says, "Farewell, my lord..."The Revenging Sinner appears, once more above Sana. Still keeping his Girantina hybrid forme, he strikes.

Joy is just near where the Ditto human amalgamation strikes. She knocks away her dumbfounded friend off and takes the full brunt of Nadar's ghostly attack, which only felt like an icy chill touching her. Joy intercepts Nadar's attack as Shift Action.

His hands phase through Joy's body. Nadar cancels his transformation in an attempt to change his attacks.

She knew she would be targeted immediately, she already set plans against his attack, yet Sana was still surprised when Ruby persona suddenly occupies her again. However, she can't mourn with Ruby for seemingly hurting Giratina now. Sana wipes her tears off her swollen eyes, and soon begins giggling like a witch. She whips out her wand, like a mother trying to discipline her normal child. "By the sworn creed of magical girls, bad guys must be punished. Punishment time!"Sana sends out a barrage of blinding pink light at Nadar, her irritation causes her arcane power to accidentally mixed in. Sana attacks Nadar with Dazzling Gleam. Apply Berserk Blow on Nadar to give him 1 full round of vulnerability.

Unable to feel his fingers, Jace numbly pointed at Nadar, directing his pokemon's attention away from where Giratina was and to the new threat. "Ace, Gengar, don't let him get the Master Ball." Gengar lets loose a Dark Pulse that probably would have missed if not for Sana's Berserk Blow knocking him off balance. Ace rushes forward in a burst of speed, seeking redemption from his previous mistake. He bites Nadar's arm, latching on and flinching him, trying to keep him away from his prize.

A round of applause interrupts Ace flailing Nadar around like a sock puppet.
Amazing. To bring such an opponent to his knees. I believe he won't try anything more in his condition. The boss says after pausing his clapping.
Nadar lays motionless on the floor. After turning back to his original form, he lifts his head, "Hng... There were definitely easier and sneakier ways of getting Jasmine back. I guess all the power rushed to my head. You better kill me now Jace, or this will definitely come back to haunt you." Nadar taunts. Jace can he the pain he's in with labored breathing.
The Boss orders Jeremiah to bring Jace from his post. The gym leader does not move as he silently gazes up to the figure before him. Jeremiah snaps himself out of it, lays Tully down, and heads downstairs.
Fairy Girl! He motions to Tully. Your friends looks unwell. See what you can do for them.

Sana feels rather unnerved at The Boss's applause at Nadar's defeat. She never voices it out, but it was as if... he was counting on Nadar's demise. She was slightly astonished at being called a Fairy Girl, but knowing that her friends may be unwell, Sana rushes to Tully with her First Aid Kit. His arm is, how to describe, comparable to how Yvette's leg looked after her failed landing. Sana feels weight down her heart again... if only she doesn't hesitate, Tully would not have his arm mangled... "I'm sorry... if I'm just a little stronger..." Sana opens her first aid kit, tries to hold onto Tully's arm, only to accidentally break it. Her face is now filled with horror and guilt at being a failure as a medic. Joy panics at her friend's expression and sends out a healing wave at Tully. Joy uses Heal Pulse at Tully.

It felt like a long walk closing the gap between Jace and Nadar, despite only being a few meters. The icy lance had crashed into the ground a few feet from Tully after Giratina dissipated. Without looking at it, Jace gestured upward, pulling it out of the ground. With a simple motion, he let it hang in the air above Nadar like the sword of Damocles. Jace still couldn't feel his fingers, but that hardly mattered to him now. He crouched down beside Nadar, while Ace still held his arm. Ace didn't squeeze, but he made it very clear that he could at any time.
"When we first met, you didn't think very much of me, did you? Now that your rebellion has been stomped, your plan ruined, and your masterpiece trapped in a metal ball, what do you think of me? Do you think that I will be your executioner?"
The spear hung motionless, held up by magic. It did not waver in the slightest, simply hanging there silently over Nadar.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr7k1T8w2es"It's true I presented you to be an ant on the pavement after Gurner's defeat. Over time you became a thorn in my side. I never cared how many of us you took down, in the end I thought my plan was fool-proof. To manipulate the people on a planetary level? It would've been so beautiful. More beautiful that what the Boss is planning to do.
But now back to you, I think you're just a weird kid... This grandeur frozen burial? Probably all so someone can say 'Good job Jace, I knew you could do it!' You didn't stop to think you weren't cut out for this when your lady friend got killed and not after meeting the rest of those monsters in Paradiso. Oh well, you can visit her grave and tell her you stuck to your guns, right? Hurry up, you're making it frosty in here..."

www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCAS50dQ8F4Although the spear hung in the air without motion, Jace's hand shook with rage. Nadar's words hurt, not because of the mention of Marietta, but because they were true. Jace finally had all the power, he could finally do something. He felt something cold in his heart, something that had been growing within him since the start of this journey. A spiteful feeling that grew because Jace had made an assumption, that people were looking down on him. But as he looked around him, he saw that was far from the case. His peers and superiors alike counted on him, they trusted him. The only person in the room that was looking down on Jace was the one literally beneath him. Jace closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and steadied his hand. He stood up and clenched his fist. Over a hundred pounds of kinetic force collapsed on the spear, causing it to shatter in a flurry of snow. "You're right, I'm just a kid," he said with a smile. "I'm the kid that beat you, because you are nobody." With that, he took one last look down at Nadar, and then walked away. He didn't turn back, he didn't need to."Put the lights out on 'em Tully, he's coming with us. Let's go home." Ace, confused, released Nadar. He walked beside his trainer, just as he always had.
