Tully's eyebrows raise as he sees Ambipom toss Marietta something. He can't tell what it is, but he's positive it isn't good.
He flicks a knife into one hand, releases Xander with the other and looks Marietta dead in the eye.
"Don't do this."

Not moving an inch, a silence settled on the scene. Jace did not uncross his arms, he did not so much as move a muscle. On the inside he was calculating, planning out every possible scenario in front of him. When he did so one thing became apparent, something that he always knew: Marietta was not someone he could plan around. She could do anything right now, especially in her agitated state.
Ace was on a hair trigger, ready to launch like a bullet immediately. Jace didn't think that it would come to that. He smiled knowingly, not saying a word.

There is no doubt what they want - Kill Brooklyn. Marietta knows it's impossible for the two members to appear so quick, someone called them. Marietta immediately understands - her friendship with her group is never there. She's been dragged into a trap by trusting her group over visiting Regibot yesterday. She and her mother is in grave danger. She can confidently take on one or two person in one shot, however... there's another Paradiso member on the mountain...
There's two decision flying over her mind. Her utmost priority is to get her mother out of the way, and escape to the ocean. It is fine, Nexus is not much different from her hometown and she's planning on leaving Nexus after finding out her parents' whereabouts. Running back to the port town is impossible with Jace and Tully blocking her way. On her hand is a Pester Ball: Shut Down, a powerful weapon that can shatter her crumbling reality... Ika's face flashes in her mind.

Brooklyn looks over at her situation. She whispers to Marietta. "You know it's not too late to turn back. A man will always forgive a woman. Besides, I'm just against 3 children and a man-child, no need for you to get wrapped up in this." She tightens her hold on the rapier and grips a Pokéball.

Marietta is not about to hurt her friends, but she cannot guarantee the Paradiso are not also aftering her mother's life. She has to escape with her mother, especially when she is their enemy. "Mom, we'll have to escape." Marietta flings the pester ball straight at the backup, then nudges her mother to the ocean. Marietta activates Chemical Warfare, turning Pester ball into Blast 2.

"Hmm?" Jeremiah's eyes follow the trajectory of the ball aiming for Flygon. The dragon blocks it with it's wing, but power chemicals burst out and consumes them in dust. "SHORTY WHAT GIVES!? *cough* *cough*
Brooklyn and Ambipom takes Marietta's suggestion and begins to make a run for it. Roderick, who is now startled alert by the recent turn of events, takes out a Rapidash.
"This is a joke, right?"

Now she had done it. Chucking all her friends (if they can even be called friends) aside for her mother's safety, Marietta thus declares in sadness and anger, at being deceived by Paradiso - Jace, Tully, Roderick and Jeremiah. "Paradiso or renegade Paradiso, I don't care! I won't let you kill my mother, like you killed my father! Leave us alone!" Marietta makes a break to the ocean, following Brookyln and Ambipom.

When Marietta didn't throw the ball at him, he was surprised. His barriers couldn't reach Jeremiah, but Jace figured that he could handle himself. Instead of his original plan to block her shot, he picked her up with his Telekinesis.
"Come on Marietta, you're not going anywhere." He knew neither of them were going anywhere, but if Jace could incapacitate Marietta without hurting they wouldn't have to chase her down.
Meanwhile, Ace was not as gentle. Feeling more confident about his Takedown ability, he flies forward in a burst of speed. Barreling straight at Brooklyn at full speed, intending to knock her off of her feet.

"Stupid. No one said anythin' 'bout killin'." Tully says as he raises a knife. "Least, not till you did. Now?" He throws a knife at his turncoat former-associate, scoring a gash across her side - a painful but non-life-threatening wound. "Ain't gonna aim for it, but I guess we'll see."Meanwhile, Xander scurries roung the back on his allies and runs up to Ambipom, chomping down on it to keep it here, a menacing growl coming from his throat. Xander's turn: Standard: Use Bite on Ambipom Swift: Use Intimidate on Ambipom
Tully's turn: Standard: Use Deadly Strike on Marietta

www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOGkZsuFILU "So it's come to this again..." Brooklyn says after she catches herself from Ace's attack. She moves in to attack Tully with a quick strike. It could've been harder but time is of the essence. Ambipom turns a frightful eye away from the crocodile and throws a burn pester balls at Ace, hitting him dead on. "Good work! If they want a battle, then so be it!" She says as she Quick Switches Ambipom for Donphan. Jeremiah and Flygon feel a bit tingly. They high five each other to get rid of the paralysis by shocking themselves. "Kill your Pops? I don't know anything about that but please don't make this a drama, ya dig?" Seeing Marietta trapped in the air and knowing who she is gives ease to the dragon master. Hoping once everyone surrounds the two they will just give up.

As if predictable, Marietta knows the first thing Jace will do is to levitate her, still the lost of solid ground to stand on throws her out of her sync. Jeremiah's warning makes her realize she can attempt another ceasefire, until Tully's knife flashes right under her chin, onto her neck, ensuring a death sentence.
To the neck... For trying to get her mother out of the way of the conflict and settle down? Just as Marietta braces for her death, Marietta disappears. During that split second, Kadabra's visage can be seen.
Kadabra shakes his head in disapproval at Tully's action. He's not going to let someone hurt his source of entertainment. Marietta looks at Kadabra, nods in agreement and gratitude. No emotion, just a full on scorn for the person she never see eye to eye - Reese. Her hatred for him translates into two flying Pokeball right behind him. The first Pokeball, flying like a revolver bullet, crashes right at Tully's spine, which ricochets onto Jace's ribs and onto his chin. Second ball crashes right onto the same spot, ricochets onto Tully's occipital bone, then onto Jace's face. "Sorry." Marietta aims those word that Jace, whose presence can turn Ace into a killing machine.
Kadabra beams a psychic laser at Jace, seeing it as necessary to knock out Jace or his Marietta will be in trouble.

Jace, taking serious damage, is knocked out. Ace, too engaged with his own opponent to notice, attacks Brooklyn in an attempt to get her sword. Ace uses his standard action to use Covet!

Brooklyn is knocked aside by Ace's attack. Her rapier falls next to Ace. With a pained expression she looks up a Marietta still levitating. "Be strong honey, we'll get out of this soon. Hopefully." She lays her head to the ground, unsure if anyone heard her last words. Jeremiah exhales deeply. Ignoring the other pokemon in front in him, he yells to Tully and Roderick. "Well, we got what we came here for. We can leave now, right fellas?. Roderick go pick up young Jace over there. We headin' back to La Casa." Roderick says nothing while hiding his eagerness to fight. He mounts Rapidash and goes over to the unconscious Jace. Ignoring the straight path to Marietta and Kadabra.

Xander, seeing the balls fly out of the corner of his eye, breaks off from Donphan and rushes in front of Tully, taking the direct hit, though sadly unable to block the ricochet of the other.
Grimacing, Tully rushes up to the fleeing Marietta, going for a well-timed slash and suppressing a smirk, knowing exactly what she'd do next.

Jeremiah sprints over to Tully to avoid further useless confrontation. He gives Tully a quick slap on the shoulder and falls to the ground. "*Wheeze* See... Either you like picking on the weak or you really dig fighting! *wheeze* Now did you throw all that pent up anger out'cha system." He looks over to Marietta with a face of disappointment. "Go home. You're through, ya dig? I'm glad I didn't bring Mera to see this wackness..."
Flygon flies to Brooklyn and uses his mouth roughly to pick her body up. Donphan, still enraged rolls over to the middle of Xander and Roderick, who is still riding Rapidash. He uses Earthquake and tears up the terrain. "Looky there, now you have a volunteer."

One swift blow from Tully's knife snaps something. Marietta's lifeless eyes glares onto Tully, as her head flies on the sky. She didn't realize her teleport escape managed to snap her throat before. With one final knife blow from Tully, Marietta head falls onto the ground, her body collapses onto the ground. Kadabra looks on with disgust. He takes away Marietta's belonging and disappears, thinking she had wasted his time.

"... Ah, shit!"
Tully's eyes widen at Marietta's body. That was unintentional. He'd expected her to simply teleport away from the attack, allowing him to rush up and finish her. That meant that, rather than stopping to attack, he'd kept his momentum going, intending to follow through as soon as she and Kadabra materialized.
But she hadn't. And that, combined with how she'd unintentionally maneuvered into the blow, well...
Tully growls. Just when I needed her to be her usual, flashy, stupid self, she had to go and surprise me.
He turns around, resolving to finish the battle before thinking about what just happened.

Roderick, who now has Jace on his shoulder, stared in disbelief. He's more surprised at how quickly the situation got out of hand rather than seeing someone die again. "Dude, you didn't have to go that far. We could've taken care of the rest."
After Rapidash and Flygon make quick work of Donphan and Voodoo. Jeremiah walks up to Marietta's head and body. "Yo don't wake up our guy Jace just yet. A good kid like him shouldn't see this, ya dig?" He sends out a Garchomp and makes the pokemon dig a hole for Marietta. "Pretty convenient we're already in a graveyard!" He spots Tully out the corner of his eye. "...We'll patch you two up back in Aquifer Delta if you don't mind. We can also deal with our warrior-guest."
Jeremiah spots Ace a few meters away and makes some cat calls and silly faces.

Ace, confused about what was going on, picked up the dropped rapier. Joining Roderick and his downed trainer Ace does not see Marietta. He drops the rapier at Roderick's feet, a show of the good job that he did. The eevee then voiced his concern for Jace in a weak bark.

Tully nods, sheathing his knife, still looking at Marietta's body with an expression of disgust on his face.
"Let's just get outta here."
