Beatrice squeezed Rainbow's hand needily as she found her feet and started forward again, only letting go when the tentacle threatened to come crashing down on them once more. Her eyes were wet and her chest heaved.
(Beatrice moves 6 squares south. Baied moves 6 squares south, Crassi moves 7 squares southeast.)
Crassi's claws glint with a razoring never before seen as they slice cleanly into the stone (85 Dark Physical,. Baied's mandibles light up and it rams into the stone. (For another 68 Electric Physical.)

"We can do it," Rainbow repeats. "It'll be okay. If you fall... I'll catch you. Okay?"
While the two girls struggle to keep up, Baeid and Crassi teaming up manage to shatter another crystal. Though the looming pair of tentacles above about to smash down on them are rather worrying.

"I'm glad you came." Bee said in a sincere, affectionate tone, her pace increasing as the Pokemon stripped yet further ahead. The crystal they had reached hadn't stood a chance... She resolved herself to tell Crassi of her greatness when her friends woke.
(Everyone moves forward.)

"I told you, I'd be here every step of the way," Rainbow replies, holding Bea's hand as they run further along the long and winding serpent. It seems to have stopped writhing for a time, but lets out a chilling roar that carries along its back. DC 10 Focus for everyone, or else lose 1 CS in Attack and Special Attack.

What was fear to a creature without emotion. Without a soul. Beatrice's Pokemon continued unabated, but the still air, the bellowing, the ground so far below now that the details blurred into raw color. It all tore at her resolve.
(Everyone moves forward, Beatrice loses -1 Atk and SpAtk CS)

"It's okay," soothes Rainbow. "It'll... it'll all be okay. We just have to keep moving."
As Crassi moves forwards towards the crystal, it discharges a crackling bolt towards her, though that goes wide. What doesn't go wide is the tentacle that slams down on top of her. Thankfully she seems to be more-or-less okay, but from how the serpent is twisting around, and able to peer at them a little now that they aren't on its neck... it seems that it's not flailing blindly anymore. Zap Cannon misses Crassi. Crassi takes 10 damage from Power Whip

Raising her claws, Crassi fires volley after volley of exploding pins along the surface of the crystal, a feral glint in her eyes. Pin Missile Critically hits for 105 Bug Physical, resisted one step less if resisted, or +6 Damage if not.
"Rainbow, what are we going to do when it can actually bring itself to bear?" Bea notes as the dragon was starting to turn, attention settling to the Pokemon clamoring down its back. "Solenoid was resilient... but I don't think anything of this earth is that resilient."
All parties move forward.

Huge chunks of crystal are blown off, and the thing is almost destroyed... but it remains lodged in the creature's back. "I... I don't know," Rainbow admits. "I guess we hope that we destroy the crystals quick enough. Your Pokémon are doing good work, at least." Suddenly the end feels a lot farther away, even more so as the dragon begins twisting again, the crystal on its back launching chunks of itself at Crassi. DC 10 Athletics to avoid being pushed 3 towards the edge. Crassi takes 24 damage, before temp HP.

"If anything happens to her... this would be how Crassi would want to go." Beatrice smiled sadly as she watched the Drapion close with the crystal and tear into it without remorse. "Showing the entire world that she was a pinnacle..." (58 Dark Physical, Baied uses Charge)
"SAVE SOME FOR THE REST OF US GIRL!" Beatrice yelled after the Pokemon, a tightness in her voice as she recovered from the monster tossing itself about once more.

"She very much is..." Rainbow agrees. "Still a little scary, though," she admits. "Glad she's on our side."The scorpion rips up and destroys the last of the crystal that she'd ruined before, as the rest start to catch up a little. There's a calmness from the dragon, before the calmness of the air is displaced and swift jets of pressure shoot out towards Crassi and Baeid. The scorpion just powers through, but Baeid isn't quite so sturdy nor nimble, so takes it side-on. Air Slash misses Crassi. Baeid takes 34 damage from Air Slash.

"Baied is starting to flag... Not that I blame him, but I'll have to pull him soon. Can you keep up with Genesect at speed? We aren't catching Crassi otherwise..." (All parties moved.)

"Not sure," Rainbow says. "I can try, though."
As Crassi and Baeid move farther down the beast's back, it turns to face the pair, and opens its maw, energy charging.

"Baied back this way!" Beatrice called, the caterpillar rounding and making a retreat only to be sucked up into a beam of light. "You did great, Genesect it's your turn! Flight configuration, we need to move, and some fast." Crassi again fired another cascade of needles into the next crystal. (58 Bug Physical, 10 Temp, and 5 DR)

"Statment:" it ventures, as it waits for Bea to mount. "Defeat of all entities non-identified as friendly is... minimally probable."Crassi manages to dodge a bolt of lightning lancing from the crystal she's torn a bit out of, but wind cuts from the outside again. And it hits her this time. It seems the dragon's emphasizing more active assaults now. Thunderbolt misses. Crassi takes 14 damage after DR and temp HP.

Beatrice mounts Genesect and spurs him onward, readying her shield as they careen along the serpent's coils. "I know, I know, but we have to try. Crassi has done so much on her own, we just have to see this through and hope Rayquaza returns to space."
Crassi, meanwhile, tears into another crystal with brutal efficiency. (67 Dark Physical)

"Advisory: While this unit is theoretically space-capable, it remains untested. Additionally, you lack proper protective gear. Ascension beyond approximately six thousand meters above sea level should not be attempted."It looks like Rainbow can't quite keep up with Genesect, but, on the plus side, flying along at least means no worrying about writhing. At least as long as altitude is maintained. Crassi shatters yet another crystal, and it looks like that deals with half of them. But in return she's slammed by a tentacle and cut into by a blade of air. Crassi takes 12 damage from Power Whip, before Temp HP. Crassi takes 31 damage from Air Slash.

"I do not want to know how close we are to that limit Genesect. I don't breathe, so the immense cold notwithstanding, radiation which I may have some insulation against, and risk of micro-meteors are duly noted."
"Crassi hold there, I'm coming to get you!" Beatrice yelled ahead. "Rainbow... if you want to try anything nutty with your powers now's probably the time. Crassi is flagging and won't make it to the next stone. She and Baied may be able to help in a pinch but otherwise I think they're out." With Genesect continuing to barrel forward, she sweeps Crassi up in a beam of light, continuing to brace the shield and watch the dragon's massive head.

Genesect cordially seems to shut up and not mention anything that it may have been about to say, instead silently speeding ahead. "I... I can't do anything to help, I'm sorry," Rainbow says. "My powers are just... spanning. And I feel awful, and don't even know if I can do it here..."Without Crassi, things seem a little more bleak, which the dragon seems to try and punctuate with another roar, that echoes in one's bones. DC 10 Focus, or else -1 Atk and Sp Atk CS.

"Don't fret over it Rainbow, you being here has done plenty for me. We just need to get nearer the remaining crystals... I wish we could eke out any more speed but it was never necessary in my challenges..." She laughs weakly.
(Everyone moves forward, Beatrice readies her shield.)

"You always did take life at you own pace, Bea," Rainbow says, laughing. "But it'll be fine. You always get there in the end."As the group moves along towards the next crystal, there's another large swing of the tentacles. DC 10 Athletics or Acrobatics to dodge Breaking Swipe.
