Just as she was about to report Tully's suggestion, Brooklyn rolls on her back when she hears Marietta. "Wha-" Many questions go through her head, probably knowing the answers too, but she finally settles on one. "I guess the circus business was too hard to handle alone huh?" She squeezes her eyes tight, with a breaking voice. "Haha... You shouldn't lie to your elders kid." Which is directed to Tully.

Marietta turns her head behind, looking at Tully and Jace. Unable to accept that her mother attacks Tully first, she assumes everyone is confused and attack each other. "I need time to be alone with my mom, she's been missing and she's confused!"

Tully rolls his eyes at Brooklyn's admonishment, though whether at her being indignant or her suggesting that lying is ever a bad idea, it's hard to say.
However, when Marietta speaks, he just sighs. "You're her... Friggin' figures." He backs off, though keeping an eye on things over his shoulder as he goes, muttering to himself. "Guess the apple don't fall far from the psycho."

"Those pester balls definitely felt like a Marietta brand of trap. I'd believe that she is Marietta's mother." Jace was still confused, but he at least felt like the situation was under control now.
"Sooooo... where do we go from here? Paradiso is going to want to know about this."

Brooklyn looks over Jace. He's in Paradiso too? This normal looking kid...
"Tell them if you desire, don't care. They probably won't know me anyway since I just joined with the people they're against a while ago." Not thinking they're a threat anymore she sits up with legs folded under. Still ready to fight if needed. "Me confused? My head's never been more clear, just some rage clouded my head that's all, yeah."

There are multiple questions that Marietta wants answered, starting right after her parent's declaration to join a war. First thing to make sure is her mother's wellbeing. She gets a lemonade from her bag and passed it to Brookyln. "Here, a lemonade, your favourite."

She looks at the bottle as if she just came from a desert. "Now way! You're the best! Marietta!" She scarfs the drink down. The ground trembles as she gathers the energy to stand up. As she does, Brooklyn throws her fist up in the air, opening her wounds again. "Man..."
She takes a minute to patch herself up with a hyper potion. "So how'd a girl like you get wrapped up with Paradiso? Did you impress them with your performance skills?"

"Hehe, thanks mom." Marietta beams up a million dollar smile, seeing her mother is fine and well. Her mother's question on her involvement with Paradiso, however, puzzles her. "Paradiso? Nope, I'm not with that group, just hanging out with a group of champion to be who are Paradiso members, and borrowing their facility to find you and daddy."
Marietta catches her breath, "Our corcus was doing fine for few months after your confusing departure, although I struggled quite a lot to keep the business afloat. But..." Marietta's tone sours to a lower tone. "One crimson night, I was checking our Pokemon troupes. Pyroar wasn't making his usual roar. Strange, I said. I ran to him and god bless me, he was riddled with billets. Several armed men with giant Pokemon, too well armed to be our usual ruffians, made their presence known. I ran, letting my fear take over that in a split second I could end up dead. I've been searching you and daddy ever since. Happened to attract a renegade Paradiso's member called Tim." Marietta ends her exposition, resuming her original question. More importantly, where's dad? What is your war all about?"

Brooklyn nods as she listen's to Marietta's story. "Champions? That means you've been challenging gyms right. I'm so glad you found friends your age, though they do play rough... Damn, so the business is closed for good. I hope everyone ran away safely, I'm so irresponsible."
Her eyes widen as she hears Tim's name."So you three are the ones causes these people all this ruckus? We could never find that guy so I assumes he left town."
Brooklyn diverts her eyes to the sky as she tell her side of the story. "It was fun in beginning and middle! We were winning and it got my blood boiling. Guns weren't for me so I was good with a lightweight sword." She says as she points toward the rapier. "Ultimately we lost of course. The other side brought someone with some crazy large scale powers. Us normal people couldn't hold a candle to that. And with that the war ended... 7 years ago..."

"And what about your husband?" He flipped through his phone. While listening to Brooklyn he texted Roderick: I have another member of that rogue organization here. We are at the regibot. Jace assumed that Paradiso had the resources to find them.

Nice! I don't know where that is but I'll ask Yozora. Jeremiah and I will be there in a few! Hold the Gates!!
Brooklyn sneers at the hiding audience. She noticeably hesitates and walks over to her sword. You want to see something cool Marietta!? I can cut through things without injuring them, if we had this during our shows we wouldn't have had that 'accident'. She walks over to the tree Jace is by and tries to cut it. No glow comes out from the sword and the thin blade bounces off the wood. She tenses up as she looks at Tully, "Hey, give that shard back! I need it..."

Tully raises an eyebrow. "Yeah, sure, the shard that let you chop off my friggin' hand without effort, course I'll give that back to ye. Want me to cut my own head off while I'm at it?" He sighs. "Look, I get yer excited an' all, but please forgive me if I don't give the super-shard back to the lady workin' for the other side."

"Hahaha! It wouldn't be so much trouble if you did slice your head off! With that power, you'll be like a headless chicken."
She grabs a pokeball from her pack and lets out an Ambipom. Holding his own bag, he takes out eight balls and begins to juggle them in an attempt to wow Marietta.
Brooklyn continues to talk to Tully. "Look, I don't want anything to do with you little group's plans. Perhaps we can make a trade, information for my shard. Hmmm?"

Tully hums for a moment. "Can't exactly make that promise without knowin' what info yer talkin' about. Besides, we ain't collectin' these shards cos we like shiny things. We kinda gotta keep them outta the hands of the other side." He opens his mouth to continue, but stops for a second as an idea comes to him.
"Okay, how 'bout a counter-offer. 'Stead of givin' us unfo and goin' back to your side who, let's face it, ain't likely to be happy about that, you come work for our side. Have to check with the guys in charge, course, but that way, we don't gotta fight, you get to be on the same side as your daughter and maybe get the shard back, we get a new ally and maybe some info. How's that sound to ye?"

Brooklyn takes a deep breath and fills in the silence with a yawn. "In four days, those shards will be nothing more than colored rocks." She says as lifts up four fingers.
"I appreciate your offer, but I can't join your journey. Doing so will attract unnecessary attention towards you two and my daughter because there's something I need to do. I don't care about Paradiso's goals or this other group, but there is one person I need to face in Paradiso and if things get dicey then I need that shard!
"Our plan was to kill Dialga and Palkia and obtain their shards to gain enough power to fight the elites off until the Promised Day. On that day, the Pokemon Mew will appear from the Gate of the Sun over at Oar's Rest Port and revive Dialga and Palkia. That will render our shards useless, but during that time one of ours has the opposite power of mine. He can splice space together no matter what object is in the way. He'll cut Mew and merge its DNA into himself. Sound like a plan or what? I don't know why Paradiso wanted the shards first though..."
She holds her outstretched hand out to Tully, like a parent asking a child to spit out gum. "I can accompany you to the amusement park gym, but that's all. Anything else?"

Marietta is simply appalled by her mother's attitude towards war. War? Fun? She and father simply abandoned their circus to rot to join a war. Moreover, Brooklyn joins with her team's enemy, seeking the time shards. As time passes with her mother, Marietta feels more anxious. Isn't she supposed to be together with her father? She repeats her question again."Mom, where is dad? Didn't he disappear together with you? Wasn't the 2 legendary pokemon killed recently?"

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztB6NSUePMIThe soldier hangs her head down and grits her teeth. She turn to Marietta, "He's... gone." You three can feel the already suffocating air even more. "I didn't think I'd see you in this region, let alone tell you so soon. Remember when I told you the war was our almost victory? We were so close, until those MONSTERS knocked aside all of us like dust in the wind. Raphael and I tried to away from this life, but the leader caught up to everyone and...""We ended up on this island right after that massacre. The last eight of us dispersed and buried what bodies we could preserve. Would you like to see him, Marietta?" Brooklyn's words felt heavy, but it looked like she was relived to let that out. "During the years here I tried coming back home, but I didn't really know where I was. Also my hate for that monster would not let me return as if nothing happened! I met a young boy who would later become the gym leader of a amusement park; how amusing. I received a message from one of my squad mates, Gurner, a bit of a loose cannon but he asked me if I would like to join him on a mission to finally get back at the person who ruined my happy ending. Of returning home, returning to you, who we wanted to protect so dearly...""You can call it a miracle, but the person so slayed Raphael, your father, is in Paradiso! That is why I made the selfish decision of not returning. Now in four days, my showdown with the monster will reach a conclusion and I will not go easy. But first I want answers." Brooklyn takes a deep breath as they reach the broken Regibot. Across from it you see that the tombstone is engraved in the name of Marietta's father and some more text. "And to your last question, yes Dialga and Palkia died. But Mew has the DNA of every pokemon in existence. According to Nadar, it was only a matter of time before it came back to replace them."

For a while, her mother's tense exposition flies through Marietta's mind. Her eyes resembles that of dead fish, the news in conflict with her memory. Several seconds later... a laughter breaks the atmosphere...
"Ahahaha... daddy is dead? That's a joke isn't it? Dad, he survived through a parkour in Kanto, defeated the Black Cross Rebels..." Marietta runs to the Regibot site, now a tombstone of her father. Denying reality, her anxiety explodes.
"That isn't true! Right?!"

When this little discussion first started Jace was content just watching. The two of them were doing the stalling for him. Backup would be here soon. He crossed his arms and decided to continue watching on. Jace was also prepared to leap into action in case either of them tried anything stupid.

"I'm so sorry Marietta! It looks we we both don't have a home to return to..." She goes in to comfort her daughter.
Brooklyn looks beyond the ocean, failing to reach an epiphany. "Why don't you stay at Alexander's park until I come back? There's no need for you to be with Para-"
Brooklyn goes silent as she and everyone hears an incoming scream. "...What was th-"
A Flygon zooms above the forest. As it circles above you three. You can see Jeremiah on it's back and Roderick barely holding onto it's tail, screaming at the top of his lungs. As Flygon gets closer to the ground, Roderick falls off. The other makes his usual entrance.
"YO! All doors are locked once ya end up on the Dragon Master's list! But what am I looking at, ya dig?"
Even though Brooklyn has never seen this man in her life, she knows who he is just with the help of the media. She let's go of Marietta and takes a step back. Ambipom, still juggling the balls tosses one to Marietta. Upon further inspection you see that it's a pester ball, but you don't know what kind.
