Glancing briefly at her hands, Moria looks at Yveltal after Callix and Chris speak. "Is there anything we should know about our new forms that could help us? I want to avoid anymore... surprises."

Yveltal looks to Callix, shaking his head. "Would that I could tell you, I would, Lost One. I know not all those who have been Severed, but I do know that not all who serve Bond share their ideals. Keep that in mind, and it may well save you." He turns his attention to Chris, nodding and thinking. "As far as I can tell, the most Fluctuation is in Maroon, the Kantoan city." Quite a ways to the North, but luckily the direction you were heading. Finally, he looks to Moria, a sad look entering his eyes. "I know your tale, dancer. I am sorry for what happened. I do not know that anything else will happen to your physical form, as your healing likely shouldn't have happened to begin with. As Usurpers, your base would be your human form, and should thus be your most comfortable form. The fact that one is influencing the other, on all of you... I will have to research this. Should we meet again, I may have answers for you." He nods, and looks at a watch on his arm, and you notice many such devices strapped along his coated forearm. "It seems I must go. Good luck, little Godlings." With that, he hops into the air, changing to his immense avian form, and with two powerful wingbeats, is gone.

Christopher watches as Yveltal takes off with his massive wings. He's still hugging the oddish like his life depends on it. "So uh... I'm still hungry, can we go find a store or something?" He didn't mean to sound so selfish, but the gnawing in his stomach was refusing to be easily ignored... though that might also be part nerves. "I don't wanna be selfish but my stomach hurts."

Moria stands up with her bag opened in her arms. With a practiced motion, she slips on a worn green cloak and slings the now closed bag onto her shoulder. As she does this, she has an uncertain expression, and her eyes briefly widen in realization before returning to a neutral state.
Hearing Chris's request, Moria looks at him as she clasps her cloak. "Like Yveltal said, something's going on at Maroon. Since we're going back there, we can stop by a store for food and supplies." She pats her bag. "If I had any food, I'd give it to you, but all I have left in the world is some clothes, a bit of money and Tilda here. Maybe we'll find some Oran berries or something else on the way."

Callix listens careful at Yveltal's words, his brows furrowing as he tried to commit everything to memory, his fist slowly clenching and unclenching as time went on. When Yveltal departed, his shoulders would slump for a brief moment before he propped himself up with his wrench and stood. "Stopping by a store is fine. I'd rather not head directly to Maroon city though. We still have a name of someone closely related to the project that we know is in [Insert Nearer City Name Here]. I'd like to poke around Bond and try and get more information from them... Perhaps try and mess with their operations as well, but that is for later. We're burning daylight as it is, so let's be off, shall we?"

Moria nods. "Yes, we should get going while we have daylight. [Insert Nearer City Name Here] is closer, and we can head to Maroon City once we exhausted this lead." She returns Tilda to her Pokeball before walking into the forest.

All of you collectively remember the city you were recruited in, Chartreuse. Ironic because if your life had a color at the time you got inducted, it would most assuredly be that. A sickly mix between yellow and green that reminds you of a drink you really wish you could be drowning your sorrows in. For now, it seems to be where you might catch Maximillian Rhodes, and find more answers. Chris manages to find a Big Apple nearby, and the Oddish joins his crew. As you begin to walk through the forest, it seems particularly calm, as if simply watching you, and you make it into town undisturbed.
You head straight for the Bond office you were recruited into, taking in little of the surroundings. As you reach the door, you notice someone standing outside... But they certainly don't look like a Maximillian.
For Bambi, it's a rather odd day. She obtained her abilities about two weeks ago, and her point of contact, Maximillian, told her to meet him here today... But it's two hours past opening and no one's shown up! Not to mention that there's no one out today... Oh! Those three approaching are wearing the uniform! Maybe they know?

Bambi stood there awkwardly twiddling her thumbs as she waited. She was told to meet Maximilian here, but now she started to feel like she had totally messed up the times, or she was getting made fun of. Max wasn't there, hell, nobody was around at all! She shifted her weight as she started feeling pretty uncomfortable alone out here. Kinda didn't feel right, well, nothing has felt right since two weeks ago...This was far, no, waaayyyy farther than she hoped for, but she had bills piling up, and bill collectors calling, so...And, also dealing with the aftermath of her treatment. Lately she wasn't feeling normal in her own skin...Bambi shuddered, and shook her head. She was ready to bring out her trusted companion, Angel, for some company, but out of the corner of her eye she could spot some people approaching. "Oh my gosh! They're finally here! Uhh...um.." She goes up to meet them, while dusting of her uniform, and tugging at them. "Dammit why are these shorts so...short!...Oh! uhh...I-I-I'm recent uh...recruit! R-Redfield!...B-Bambi Redfield " The nervous girl salutes, knocks her cap, and she tries to straighten it.

For a very brief moment, Moria freezes in place, her eyes darting from the recruit to her companions. Hidden under the cowl of her cloak, she nervously bites the edge of her lip before taking a breath and relaxing. She straightens her posture and puts on a pleasant smile before pulling down her cowl, her new skin glistening in the sunlight. "At ease, Ms. Redfield. We just returned from a mission out of town. Are you waiting for someone?"

Bambi gulps hard in relief for not getting chewed out, and relaxes a bit. "I was told to-er...ordered!...to meet Mr..Maximillian Rhodes here, but...ummm...it's two hours passed our meeting time, and the front doors are locked, and I can't see anybody inside. In fact, I haven't seen anybody all day; even in town."

Chris stood behind Moria kind of unsure what to do. He just stood there and looked... nervous was the best word, anxiety ridden, probably the more accurate. After Bambi mentioned there was no one about he... Wow, there really was no one out. "I... It's creepy out here, where did everyone go?" Chris nudges Moria and whispers. "Uh... what mission?"

With a puzzled expression, Moria turns around, looking at the empty street. As she did so, she covertly whispers to her companions. "Forest patrol." before turning back to face the recruit. "I am not entirely sure what's going on, Ms. Redfield, but perhaps we can work together. We are currently out of the loop due to our mission. Who, when and where was the last Bond operative you've met? Any information can get us to the bottom of this." As she says this, she glances at the Bond building, checking for any light coming from the windows.

Bambi tilts her head at the sudden bombardment of questions. She also is curious at the people's strange fashion sense, but quickly shakes away the thoughts. "I...um...I actually just got out of the hospital..." She rubs her abdomen. "I...h-had some...s-s-surgery done...So I just barely got back. I haven't really seen anyone, and the last two weeks are kinda fuzzy...I-I'm really sorry I don't know more!"

Before the conversation can continue any further, the sound of glass shattering cuts through the silence. It is quickly followed by a warning siren, which announces the following statement. "Attention. All citizens should now be in their homes. A strong winter storm is coming. I repeat, a strong winter storm is coming." This is rather peculiar, because there hasn't been a cloud in the sky this entire time... not to mention it's the middle of Spring. As this bit of confusion is still setting in, a figure exits a nearby alleyway. You all recognize him as a scientist with Bond, by previous encounters and his uniform. Bambi knows this man is Max Rhodes, her contact and trainer, while Moria, Chris and Callix vaguely recognize him as one of the more important looking people in the room before the experiment, and notably, not one of the corpses. At least... not yet. He looks to you, his eyes a bit bleary as he waves and stumbles out of the alleyway, a large spear of ice stuck through his stomach. "Oh hey Bambs... Sorry to keep you waiting... I uh... got a bit held up. Some girl gave me the cold shoulder... Hehehehe..." He chuckles at his awful, inappropriate pun, and coughs up a bit of blood. "Hehe ugh it hurts to laugh... Oh... and you three must be from the out of town facility... Why... are you alone?" He takes another few steps forward before another voice speaks up.
"RHODES! STOP RIGHT THERE." A decidedly feminine voice, much smoother than Max's deep, smoky voice echoes from behind him. A woman steps out, dressed in a heavy winter coat, sweatpants, and a pair of snowboots. The reason becomes evident as the air turns cold around you, and snow begins to blow in. She stands with a small ice-cream looking being floating beside her, which chitters decisively as it stares down Max. "Don't worry gorgeous, I'm not going anywhere... Kids? Meet Jacqueline Frost. A Chosen of Suicune. So yeah, good luck. I'm just gonna... bleed for a bit." With that, he passes out. Jacqueline looks to the four of you, then back to Max.
"Step aside. It is the will of Suicune that this man dies here for his transgressions." She nods to the pokemon, who summons up several more icicle spears... All aimed at the defenseless man.

Bambi suddenly jumps, and covers her ears as an eruption of noise rings out. She looks around, confused, as she tries to piece together what is happening. She then finally turns to see someone stumble out of the alleyway, and her eyes go wide. "Huh?...oh...oohhh! M-M-MAX!!" Bambi shrieks at the sight of him, and she covers her mouth with both hands, and she trembles in horror. "Ohmygoshohmygosh!!! H-hang on! I'm getting my-...!" She haphazardly fumbles out her first aid box from her bag, but then freezes as she hears the woman yelling. She tries to say something, but her mouth goes dry. She can only stare at the woman, and Max. Running over there, if she could even force herself to, would be incredibly dangerous considering the damage she dealt to Max. Also, she hadn't seen any, but this may be another experiment, like herself, that she had heard of. Even after the experiment, it had done only so much for Bambi; she was still weak. She gripped her first aid box tightly, bit her lip, and looked around quickly until she remembered the people behind her. She spun around, and looked at them with scared, pitiful eyes. "I...I..I-I gotta..." She showed her first aid box towards the group with shakey hands; its contents rattling inside. "M-M-Max..." She pointed over to the slumped over Max, and she pushed through her fear. "H-H-...Help!"

Chris is horrified by the sight of a man walking around the corner, impaled and bleeding. It was like the lab all over again, but so much worse. He wasn't just a body, oh Arceus why. And then someone comes around the corner and threatened to kill the man. Moria, Callix and Bambi would feel the heat around them become nearly oppressive, radiating off Chris as his eyes flare in the most literal sense. The snow that fluttered towards them melted before it got close, spattering the sidewalk with water. "NO! No one else dies! I don't care who says who need to die for whatever reason! There's no excuse for it!"
Chris takes a few steps forward and spreads his arms out, raising them slowly in a way reminiscent of, well, a bird's wings. It's not until after he steps over Max's body that he does something else. With an even more intense flare of heat, he changes into the flaming bird within, the heat... lashes out and melts the floating icicles aimed at them. "No more death." He fluffs his wings out to firm a protective body shield.

Moria starts as the announcment rings thoughout the streets. Frowning, she releases her old friend Tilda from her Pokeball. The Spinda looks around in confusion, but settles on a guarded stance. From the corner of her eye, she sees movement coming from the alleyway and turns to it. She feels bile well up in her throat as the grisly sight of the impaled man greets her. After the recruit shouted his name, she realizes who it must be: Maximilian Rhodes, the man they were after. Before she can think of anything to say to Rhodes' question, the woman---Jacqueline Frost---further chills the scene, which is swiftly heated by Chris's fiery rage.
For a moment, Moria's breath quickens, and her eyes widen. This isn't what she wanted, this isn't what she---. She takes a deep breath and turns her head towards Callix. "Get Rhodes out of harm's way and come back as fast as you can; we can't afford to lose him!" She then puts her hand on the quivering girl's shoulder. "If you can use that First Aid Kit, go with him and stabilize him."
Moria releases her grip and faces Jacqueline. She walks forward to stand next to Chris and shifts into her other form, shrinking dramatically in size as she draws closer. Tilda stands next to her, ready to assist even as she sways erratically. "Whatever he's done," she says, "he can pay for it later."

Bambi's eyes go wide again, as the two of the people she was talking to transform into legendary pokemon. Her jaw drops. "T-t-they're...also...um...ugh! Pull it together, and move!" Bambi yells at herself internally as she moves her legs. It feels like her legs are made of lead, and Max seems miles away, but she runs to him to asses his injuries.

In the confusion of the moment, it would be easy to miss the fact that there was someone missing from the street. Callix had disappeared. If anyone had time to search back in their memories for a few moments, they'd have trouble telling exactly when he disappeared. He had walked up with the group to the front of the Bond building, and then simply... wasn't there anymore, disappearing within the span of a blink when eyes weren't on him. But even if the group had time to ponder where he went to, they wouldn't have to wait long for their answer. There was a loud crash from the second floor of the Bond building as a window shattered outwards, and a moment later Callix vaulted through, joining the raining shards of glass on their journey down to the street below, panicked Croagunk with its arms wrapped around his neck making a very distinct "guuuuuuuunk" of distress. Callix would land and take a few stumbling steps to slow his momentum, ending up near face to face with the murderous lady of ice currently occupying the alley. He'd grin cockily to her before turning to look at the croagunk on his shoulder. "See? I told you we'd be fine." He'd then turn and give the woman a cocky grin. "You know, personally, I really don't care if he ends up dying, but I sorta need him for the moment, so... Don't suppose we're talking you out of this one, are we." It was a half-hearted effort to diffuse the situation at best, made even weaker by the adrenaline crazed look in his eyes, raring for a good fight. Acrobatics to land: 11 Focus to ignore pain, if there is any: 11 Charm to diffuse situation: 4. Yeah. Love rolling two 1's and a 2.

The woman looks at the four in front of her, shocked for a moment as one literally turns into a fire bird of legend and another into the missing dancer. Then, her shock turns to rage as the air around her begins to shake. "So it's true... You've all been doing this... Suicune doesn't need to purify any of you... YOU'RE ALREADY CORRUPTED TO THE CORE!" She screams, throwing an arm forward as a wave of ice smashes into Callix. THe little cone kind of puts its nubby little arms up as if to defend itself.
[Icee used Harden!]
[Callix takes 21 Special Ice Damage (Before defenses applied)]
[It is now Callix's turn!]
