[COLLAPSE="Meanwhile, back in the corner of the Lor"]
-A shadowy aura hangs around Xiroey and clings to his body like a visible plague
Buizel and Typhlosion stand nearby, looking concerned.-
Buizel: So... Is he just going to sit here and huddle in the corner until his memory comes back?
Typhlosion: Mmmph.
Buizel: Mmph? What kind of language is--
TYPHLOSION!!!
-Buizel looks over and sees typhlosion trying to lick the shadowy stuff coming off of Xiroey's body.-
Buizel:
Really?
-Grudgingly, typlosion leaves the aura be and stands back upright-
Typlosion: Ehm... So. When's Mari and Marx going to get back you wonder?
Buizel: You know typhlosion...
Sometimes I wonder about you...
Another explosion comes from the left wing of the ship
Buizel: {Sweating nervously} Say, Wasn't Mari on the side of the ship that that explosion came from?
-Typlosion wistfully stares at the tasty looking aura-
Buizel loses his patience
Buizel: You.
And YOU!
*Points to Xiroey*
Get your ***es up front. NOW!
--At the head of the Lor--
Discord: What would YOU do for a Klondike Ba-
-Buizel slapps the ice cream sandwich out of Discord's hand-
Buizel: Not now!
I heard an explosion is Mari alright?
-Maglor sits preocupied with a series of flashing lights on the front panel-
Maglor: This isn't good we're losing Altitude!
-Discord flies by in a minature ship and starts doing humerous little cartwheels in it-
Discord: DO A BARREL ROLL D-D-D-D-DO A BARREL ROLL!
Excalibur: FOOLS!
Celestia: I'M SO SORRY DISCORD. IF ONLY I HADN'T ENCASTED YOU IN THAT STONE!
-dramatically falls to the floor-
Discord: IT'S OKAY BABY. YOU MA EVERYTHANG.~
Maglor: IT'S NO GOOD JOE! I CAN'T HOLD IT MUCH LONGER!!!
- Buizel feels spittle on his neck, then turns around to see Xiroey spinning around in circles while making airplane noises -
- Typlosion continues trying to lick his aura -
Buizel: WHAT THE H*LL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!?!?!
(???):
That would be my doing.
Buizel: What?
-Buizel spins around in the direction of the voice-
Buizel: Show yourself! Are you the one responsible for this?
(???):
For the most part...
-A movement catches out of the corner of Buizels eye. It vanishes as soon as it appears, but still leaves him on edge.-
Buizel: Why have you done this to everyone?
And why haven't I been effected?
Whats the meaning of all this?
(???):
My you sure do ask a lot of questions...
Buizel feels a cold breeze on the back of his neck. Startled, he spins around and comes face to face with...
Gengar
[/COLLAPSE]
[COLLAPSE="Part 2"]
--At the Rear of the Lor--
Buizel: W-Who are you--
-Gengar suddenly disapears from in front of buizel, and then rematerializes on top of a stack of crates-
Gengar:
Me? No one that matters to you.
Considering you're all about to die soon.
Buizel:
Die...
Wait a minute aren't you--
You're Gengar! Xiroey's partner!
Why the **** are you attacking us? We're your allies!
-Gengar examines his claws with disinterest-
Gengar:
You mean that idiot.
-he nods his head toward Xiroey-
-Xiroey starts dragging his butt across the floor like a dog-
Buizel:
Yeesh... that's embarassing.
Gengar:
Yes. It is.
-Gengar holds his hand and a vortex of dark energy begins to gather-
Gengar:
Imagine having to put up with it. Everyday.
Coultless years... spent with... THAT.
-Gengar spits the last word out as if it's the most foul tasting substance known to man-
(???):: What's going on here?
-Typlosion walks up to Buzel's side while shaking his head-
Typlosion: Man... I had the oddest dream just now--
-Gengar warps in front of Typlosion, startling him before he can finish his sentence-
Gengar:
Who told you you could wake up?
*Gengar's eyes flash pure Red and Typlosion's expression goes blank*
Buizel: {Sweating} Typhlosion?
*Waves his hand in front of Typlosion's face*
Gengar:
He can't hear you you know...
Typlosion: As if on cue, Typlosion walks back to the front of the ship, and starts trying to eat Xiroey's aura again-
Buizel: (This isn't right. I heard about Gengar and the rest of the group.
They saved Smashboards the last time it faced this kind of danger...
But this Chaos...
This is Discord's power.
So why then?)
-A thought suddenly strikes buizel-
Buziel:
Thats how!
-Gengar raises an eyebrow-
-Buizel points an accusing finger at Gengar-
Buizel: Thats how you did it! You put Discord and the others to sleep!
They're
Sleepwalking.
Gengar:
Took you long enough to figure it out.
-Gengar opens his palm wide, and the Vortex grows to surround the entire Lor with Swirling dark energy-
-Buizel looks outside the window and sees nothing but a convulsed cloud of darkness-
Gengar:
Neat trick huh? [glow]Shadow Storm[/glow]
Always wanted to try this one out.
Buizel: So you're a Shadow Pokemon then.
Gengar:
Right again. Detective.
-Gengar snaps his fingers and Xiroey warps to his side-
Buizel: Xiro?
Gengar:
I'll be taking this one with me if you don't mind.
Yes, by the looks of his aura, he's already become a half-shadow pokemon.
Buizel: Now you're just not making any since. Xiroey's a human in case you haven't noticed.
Gengar:
Yes. In appearance perhaps.
-Gengar snaps his fingers and shadows surround Xiroey's body.
When they finally dissipate, a Black Latios is revealed-
Buizel: Okay.
Hold up a sec...
First of all, that's Dementio's trick.
I don't know why you all intend on stealing it.
Second, you mean to tell me Xiro was a pokemon this whole time?
Gengar:
That about sums it up.
Have fun falling to your death!~
Xiroey and Gengar vanish
Buizel: This is all too much...
I wan't trained to handle this kind of scenario...
(???): What the heck happened here? This place is a mess!
Buizel: Is that Mari?
[/COLLAPSE]
[COLLAPSE="Part 3"]
--Back at the front of the ship--
Mari: What have you guys done to the ship!?!
-Everyone except for Discord moaning and rubbing thier heads-
Mari: Discord, did you have anything to do with this?
Discord: Honestly.
No. Everyone just started acting all silly, and I figured hey.
May as well eh'?
Mari: So you basically let everyone--
*Mari rubs her forehead in frustration*
Mari:
Okay Mari...
Deep breaths...
Have you seen whats going on outside?
Me and Marx nearly got blown off the ship!
Buizel: That would be Gengar's doing.
-Even Discord does a double take on that one-
Discord: Fuzzball?
-Mari punches Discord-
Mari: We agreed not to call him that.
Why would Gengar attack the Lor?
Buizel: {sighs} Honestly, I'd have to go into the entire history of Cipher and the Shadow Organization in order to explain it all.
And I'm not exactly an expert on the topic.
All I know is that, for all intents and purposes, those guys are with the enemy now.
Celestia: A shame. Here we are in the first leg of our journey and we've already lost an ally.
Mari: Well at least they're still both all right.
-Mari goes and checks on Maglor for a second then comes back-
Mari: Well it looks like the Lor is stableized, so we're no longer in any immediate danger.
What now?
Smashfan666: So is everyone going to just ignore the fact that I'm here?
Mari: Oh, sorry Smashfan. Did you have something to add--
Smashfan666: No... No...
I wouldn't want to hold up your exclusive meeting.
I'll just...
Go watch the clouds...
Mari:
Whats his deal?
Celestia: So I take it we stick to our original destination then? Discord?
-Everyone looks over at discord and finds him sipping tea with Excalibur-
Discord: {looks up} What?
Were we discussing something important?
Celestia:
I honsestly don't see how Smashfan does it...
-Typlosion walks in still disoriented from earlier-
Typlosion: Okay. Apparently I fell asleep, because I just had the
craziest dream.
