The woman, though still shaking from the ordeal lets go of the drifting rock and sprawls out on Magni. "T-thank you."
Eventually she gets comfortable enough to sit upright enough for conversation. You know her to be the same passerby geologist you met near the end of victory road; who also led you to take a detour to help Diancie. "All I remember is sitting right outside the entrance to the pokemon league and the landscape changed right behind me." She explains with huge hand gestures.
"I was peering into it to see how far down it goes aaaaand I fell, sorry!"
"~whistles~ Cutting the fight short just as it gets this good? This new Jace is a real mood killer. Luckily Kannon uses his head and starts running for the hills for now." Jeremiah says as he relaxes on a rock way up high, he looks out into the distance to still see nothingness. "I shot out a few texts for an SOS, but that's all I can do for now."
In the torrential vacuum of distortion, you feel a gentle caress of your neck in unison.
Perception roll everyone!

For Jace and Sana, the two feel the grasp on their neck. Almost immediately able to tell something is strange, you sidestep away before a torrent of wind cracks the air at their previous standing. Unfortunately for Tully, his scarf gets nulls that feeling and is held down by the gripping pressure; Diancie and Magni as well.
"I never should have played this fool's game of yours." You hear Tatsumaki hiss through the empty space. She gently jumps from rock to rock, using them as footholds to reach the group. "Hey Tats before you ahh-" Jeremiah weakly says as he also gets strangled by the wind collar.
She confronts the two escapees. " He won, he got what he wanted. And like what he did with Nadar, when he finished his business The Boss will trap us in here as we waste away for eternity." Tatasumaki says with pain in her eyes, yet her voice absolutely does not waver.
"Before time washes away all that youth and strength of yours away here, I can end it for you. Quick and painless."

"Alternatively, if you didn't want to be trapped here for all of time, you would be grabbing at that orb instead of us," Jace snarked. "He hasn't won anything. Not yet."
After being pushed away, the shadow melded Gengar took advantage of being sidelined. Emerging from Ace's shadow while invisible, Gengar slowly floated his way past Tatsumaki. He didn't know whether he'd be attacking Tatsumaki or the Boss, but the trickster knew that taking an advantageous position was never a bad idea.
Though he couldn't see his Gengar, Jace was having similar thoughts. With the woman secured, Jace looked towards Sana with only the slightest gesture. With her flight, Sana might be the only one who can reach Tatsumaki or the Boss. Jace could get up there with his telekinesis, but he was very slow while lifting his own weight.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7on5q5Dcl8Tatsumaki narrows her eyes at Jace's eagerness to get back into the fray. She's unconvinced at his gamble, preparing a scoff until she sees Sana and Tully also full of determination to stop the Boss and Anti Jace. The restraints on Tully and others loosen as the tempest maiden thinks it over. "Good, I won't sully my final moments by siding with the feeble. This struggle isn't going to end with us smashed between rocks. I have get out of this and be there for them; Kuki, Yozora, and Hayate. If something happens to them because of my actions I'd rather end it all right here." She removes the wind collars from the others. "I can sense their presence above us, not too far away." She says while pushing rocks away and creating a path. "We can ambush them of course but I think our real problem is going to be the Masked Men in our way. He can split himself among 17 pokemon types, Jeremiah and I can take seven each while you go for the Boss. If this champion is as strong as they say, your other self should have his hands tied with him."Tatsumaki steps on one of her platforms and nods her head to signal her readiness. "Thank you, you three. For everything."

Jace wasn't really sure how he felt about Tatsumaki, but maybe that was just her nature. As capricious as the wind itself, perhaps.
"It's been a real adventure," Jace agreed, giving a slight salute.
With no obstacles between them, nothing creating friction, any amount of force applied to their rock would result in a positive acceleration. Knowing this, Jace applied a constant force to the rock they were standing on. It would be slow moving at first, but it would only go faster and faster. With slight pushes here and there, he could even direct it somewhat. As long as he didn't change directions too dramatically, the rock was going to become a giant stone rocket.
"It'll be just like those stairs." Jace said with a giant grin on his face. "Full steam ahead!"

Tatsumaki leaves Staraptor behind to fly the stranded woman to safety. This pocket dimension does not go further than the edges of the Pokemon League palace so flying in one direction would be the best brute force option.
The group rides along the rocks according to Jace's hypothesis; keeping their eye's peeled for any activity. The five of them approach an archipelago of rocks all floating together. "Veeeery suspicious" Jeremiah says under his breath, but loud enough for the rest to hear.
You make a swift landing on the edge and look towards the middle to observe three large diagrams imprinted on the islands of rocks with a larger one in the center. "It's dauntingly amazing isn't it." Your attention is drawn to a sullen man across the room. His cape and blonde hair have drenched over his slouch. "It seems I underestimated your group's boldness, even going as far to recruit Tatsuamaki and Jeremaiah behind my back. You've been so elusive towards me all this time, but I want to find a way to save my only friend." The man lifts his head, confirming it to be Jack, who stalled Kannon for time while Anti Jace finished off the Elite Four.
"Look at me trying to have a change of heart now, I'm a terrible villain aren't I?" He says with an artificial smirk.

"It wasn't difficult. They just want to do what they think is right," Jace didn't hesitate to extend a hand for Jack. "And villainy is overrated. Come with us and you can still take pot shots at me in the form of my doppelganger."
Regardless of Jack's plan, they were nearly there. Once the masked men were distracted, they would strike. They would only have one shot at this, but Jace couldn't imagine better odds, given the circumstances. It all came down to how powerful the Boss really was...

Tully shoots Jack a sardonic smile. "Way I see it, ain't no one gettin' outta this one without losin' somethin'. All ye gotta ask yerself is what's gonna make you feel like yer able to keep livin' wit' yerself once it's all over."
That said, he resumes what he's been doing for quite a while - keeping an eye out for places where he'd want to hide. Not, unusually, because he'd be inclined to, but because he figures that, if they brought another version of Jace in for this, there's a good chance there's a version of himself running around too. And if I was him - and I technically am - I'd be waitin' in a spot like that ready to strike at the right moment.
Of course, at a point when he was sure he wasn't going to be overheard, he told the others to keep an eye out, but he was the most vigilant, less looking for a hidden opponent and more figuring out where said opponent would be, given his unique insight into them.

"I think... I'll be able to look Kannon in the eye again after I help you save the world" In response to Tully's statement. "And besides he'll owe me one if I save him." The moment Jack took Jace's hand he felt as if the tension between the two groups melted away. His face brightens up to go over the battlefield.
"There's many things you should know before this battle. First, taking Aegislash away from The Boss is a simple task for any of you, but to truly end this nightmare you must remove the Griseous Orb. He has entrusted me with the key. He unfolds his fist to reveal a hexagonal key that must be inserted over the orb. I myself can fight, but the only pokemon I've had time to heal is Samurott. My main priority will be to rescue Kannon from Anti-Jace. I don't know what those symbols mean on the ground, but I'm sure Tatsumaki and Jeremiah will clear a path for you to investigate."
He tosses the key to Sana. "Are you ready for a game of keep away?"

Sana collects the key from Jack, her expression looking tense but she holds onto the key tightly. As long as Diancie is with her, she believes she can help however she can, especially when the stranded woman has been sent to safety. "I believe so, we have to win this."

Jace cracked a smile. "So it's capture the flag. Keep our flag away, grab theirs. I think we can do that." Despite his previous statement about having no plan, that wasn't completely true. While Ace rode on Jace's shoulder, Gengar began taking the long way around, flying under the platform. They would flank their opponents in the most unexpected way possible: one above, one below."Let's finish it. You don't need to hear any inspirational words from me, you all already have the strength you need. One final charge!" Jace leapt from the platform, carrying Ace with him. The two floated easily to a nearby platform, ready for whatever came next.
Jace: 21 Ace: 35 Gengar: 36

www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRFgviKp5hAJack and Tatsumaki slowly register Jace's leap. "I didn't know your friend was such an empty headed optimist." Jack says as he lurches for his sword. Jeremiah jumps to the next few platforms. "A piece of advice from a fellow hollow head, Jackie. The moment you say 'now' it ceases to be 'now'. Live in that now, ya dig?". Surely regretting their plot, Tatsumaki soars in the air creating a gust within the stifling void. As triumph is glazed in Anti Jace's eyes, he sees his foolish self standing across from him. Kannon gazes up with a smirk. "Thanks for the backup Jace! It seems we'll have to put our match off for a bit..." He says cheerfully even when his back is to the wall. "Seriously, was I always this tenaciously annoying?" Anti Jace laughs with a contorted smile he can hardly contain. In a heartbeat his face hardens and Kingdra uses Hydro Pump at Jace. "Die"Anti Jace: 22 Kingdra: 5 Alakazam: 26 --- Tatsumaki and Jeremiah attack the Masked Men. They look in confusion for a moment then spring to action. Leaving 6 of their men behind and 11 to attack the two in the distance. Despite their disadvantage of numbers, the two elites showed faith in taking them on as the Masked Men to not carry pokemon. Jack leaps down the crater to support Kannon, "We're not done here, but we have to bury some unfinished business of mine. Want to lend me a hand, Kannon." He says pointing directly at the boss.

The torrential blast slammed into Jace, sending him flying off of the platform he was standing on. It struck with such force that he was knocked out from under Ace, who leapt to the place where Jace once stood. A year ago, an attack like that would have seriously injured the young trainer. Hell, it probably would have killed him. But Jace was not the same trainer he was a year ago. "Oh, I'm told I have a talent for being annoying," Jace taunted. "Apparently, I'm so annoying that I can annoy myself."Ace gathered his aura, the energy flaring around him in its usual blue flame. The tiny Eevee was far from intimidating, but as he blasted from the platform where Jace once stood to the main platform, he revealed his true strength. The moment he touched the ground, Gengar evacuated Ace's shadow into the main platform. It would take him a moment to get into position, but soon he would be able to reach for the sword in the center.
Ace uses Swords Dance and moves onto the main platform. Gengar moves his full speed towards the sword, passing through the ground with Phasing. Jace actually gets his normal trainer turn this round.

"You said it, not me," Tully mutters to Jace. "Still, nice knowin' ye both."With that, he releases Cassie once more and lowers himself down, ready to move. Tully: 30 Cassie: 24

Sana only grimaces as the ever-present of her possession releases himself out of Sana's body. Kowai unleashes himself again. Sana only gives a smile as she looks at Jace. "Once this thing is over, I still have one more battle to do before my return to normalcy."Sana: 12 Kowai: 25

Tully darts off to the side, leaping from platform to platform as he makes his way around, sizing up the enemies and working out all the vectors as he tries to flank his targets. Tully: Standard: Use Take Aim

Alakazam shrugs himself off Shrine Maiden Joy's healing hands before sending a wave of psychic energy. He narrowly misses the apparition, trampling the ground in frustration.
"If you lose, damn if I'll be the one patching you up again Alakazam" Joy says with a chilling glare.

The creepy apparition of the chandelier, Kowai retaliates at Alakazam with a shadow ball, cackles in an insidious, weathered and broken laugh that now sounds unmistakably human, and unmistakably still gives Sana shivers.
"Haha..haaHa..haH...haa... D... dd..dIEeeEEeeE...!"

Cassie raises a feathery eyebrow at Kowai's... enthusiasm before dashing past him, firing herself towards Alakazam, swooping down and narrowly missing him with her beak, but using the momentum to twist around and obscure her form as she sends a bolt of shadowy energy over the other Jace. Cassie: Standard: Assurance on Alakazam, miss Activate Clever Ruse to gain +4 evasion and ignore stat-evasion until the end of her next turn Swift: Use Omen on Anti-Jace, reducing his accuracy by 2

Anti-Jace clutches his eye as the black haze envelops inside. He extends his hands toward Ace who's feet begin to leave the ground. Ace's drift absentmindedly turns him in circles as Kingdra sets his next sights. Anti-Jace uses Telekinesis on Ace
