"Man, I love skyscrapers."Tuesday's smile is bright and warm, as honest as it is full of joy. However, if we're really being honest, the skyscraper at which rooftop she and Silvermoon stand can barely be called a skyscraper anymore: a derelict building, dilapidated and made out of broken windows, rusty beams, and cracked concrete. It leans dangerously to one side, yet Tuesday doesn't seem to care, standing at the very edge of the roof and extending her arms as if she could grab hold of the Forgotten Nexus' skies. When she and Silvermoon had agreed to meet up to explore this area of Ostellia, they had soon decided to climb up here to get a better view of the city beneath, making use of their practical and fashionable Rainbow Flame Cloaks to glide wherever they wished. It had been a long climb, sure, and arduous too, but as Tuesday sees it, totally worth it.Now, the ivory feathers of Tuesday's cloak shimmer with pearlescence under the sun, the fabric billowing beautifully as she turns to look at Kasey, her expression still illuminated by a smile. "Are you ready? Where should we go next?"If anything, the prospect of gliding over the ruins of the city has her giddy. Yes, Tuesday is a bit (or a lot) of an adrenaline junkie.

Silvermoon- was not. They hadn't been up this high since the Thunderfall Raid, and looking at the ground through the ruins of the skyscraper they were climbing onto was making them dizzy. Their new cloak was heavy on their shoulders, rippling and snapping in the desert air, Silvermoon wobbling uncertsinly as they straightened.
Oh, but the view- Silvermoon understood a bit more, now- able to see what felt like all of it. They stood there, for a minute, just looking at everything. "Wow..."
At the question, they finally glanced over at Tuesday. "Oh, um..." Which skyscraper felt most... video game-coded? "Can we make it over there?" They asked, pointing. They had... no idea how quickly they'd si k with the cloaks.
"Do I need to do anything, or just- go?" |

Tightening her usually-neat ponytail to fight the pull of these high altitude winds, Tuesday turns in the direction Silvermoon points, noticing a serene spot filled with vegetation on the rooftop of a lower building — there's a tree growing up there and everything! "Only one way to find out, right?" Tuesday grins, but she knows Kasey won't find this answer at all reassuring. So, instead, she extends a hand towards them, offered for them to take if they're so inclined. "Just stay close and we'll be fine. Whatever happens, we'll be together!" She shouts over the wind, and then, without waiting a moment longer, she jumps.

Silvermoon took a breath, trying to steel themselves- and Tuesday extended a hand. They smiled, and took it, finding reassurance in the strong grip, the cool metal. “We’ll be together.” Silvermoon repeated, an affirmation, and Tuesday ran forward-
The ground vanished from under them, and for a long, long moment, nothing happened. Gravity hooked claws around Silvermoon, tugging- pulling-
And then their cloaks fanned out, bright feathers and brighter flames, and they were both free. Silvermoon let out a soft laugh- a little bit of joy burbling through the intrinsic fear and worry.
This… was fun. It was wondrous and beautiful, Silvermoon’s eyes flicking over the landscape below, pausing when something shifted in the sand. It looked like a fallen powerline, cables lashing in the wind-
And then reaching up, towards them.
“Tuesday?” Silvermoon whispered, noise stolen by the sharp winds. The cables seemed to flash, light sparking- towards Silvermoon. |

Okay, so, here's the thing, Tuesday isn't enough of a Pokémon nerd to instantly put two-and-two together and go 'Oh shit, that bunch of cables over there is actually a motherfucking Xurkitree!'. But, she has been in this game for long enough to recognise an impending threat. "Shit."Gliding as they are, is not like there is much room for dodging — they rely on their cloaks to allow them to slowly descend. So, instead, Tuesday goes with the next best plan that she can come up with in a matter of seconds. Still holding onto Silvermoon, she pushes them back, grabbing a Pokéball with her other hand. "TYRFING!"A blade materialises in her grasp and a second one dashes forward, slashing through the air and taking on the electric surge aimed directly at them. "SIL, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!" She asks, shouting over the sounds of the wind and electricity.

Silvermoon gasped as they were shoved back, Tuesday’s swords appearing, one diving for the attack. And Tuesday asked them what it was- How was Silvermoon to know? They’d never seen it before! “I-”
Lacking anything else to do- they were still in the air- they couldn’t call Kintsugi, or- or most of their team- Silvermoon called out their little sprigatito, caught tight in their arms. “Leafage- see if you can stop it!” They cried, the kitten squealing, leaves swirling down to the pile of cabling, seeming to fall away uselessly.
“What are we supposed to do?” Silvermoon asked, seeing it start to pick itself up fully- squinting as it became hard to look at, the top of it just bright, searing sparking. |

“What are we supposed to do?”
"Win." Is Tuesday's response. Quick, short, clear, and filled with a certainty so absolute that this single word itself seems to fuel Tuesday's next actions.
She looks at the cables that shoot up, attempting to snatch her out of the air, and at that moment, she knows what to do. See, her thought process goes something like this: cables + electric attack = must at least be electric type.
She has a way to fight electric types in her arsenal. She has since she prepared for the battle for the Giant Shrine.
"Tyrfing! Distract it!" Tuesday commands the blades, but then, just as she reaches back to grab one of the MUD BOMBS she has prepared, she sees Silvermoon disappear from the corner of her eye — probably teleported to the nearest shrine.
Tuesday clicks her tongue and then... then she throws the bomb.

Kintsugi pushed himself as fast as he could, eyes flicking over the landscape. <Silvermoon- What is that?>
Silvermoon followed his gaze, seeing the massive creature, wires snapping and flicking. “I don’t know- but we have to stop it!” Kintsugi huffed, trying to push himself faster.
“Tuesday!” Silvermoon yelled,, trying to make themselves heard over the wind and distance. Kintsugi just hissed, screeching out a terrible metal sound, hoping to draw the attention of the creature again. |

Metal Sound grabs the attention of both Tuesday and the strange Pokémon (that's a Pokémon, right? It has to be...), but seeing Silvermoon and Kintsugi in the corner of her eye, the Alchemist Knight takes the opportunity to land a shift kick right on the spikey "head" of the beast. She assumes it's its head, at least. "Silvermoon!" She calls back, descending towards them through the air. Thankful, her Rainbow Flame Cloak continues to do its job, and it allows Tuesday to have some mobility and a moment to think on her next actions... "Tyrfing." She calls for the red blades that drip in black ooze, twigs growing from the cross guard and autumnal leaves falling through the air with their every move. "Try to cut through the cords!"

"C'mon, c'mon," It felt like the creature was massive, indomitable, but- but Kintsugi kept running closer and closer, and the creature- whatever it was- seemed less and less impossible. "We can do this- We can take it down!"
Lightning sparked and spit, Kintsugi jerking to avoid the blasts, sides heaving. <Silvermoon->
"Straight at it- as hard as you can!" Silvermoon said, tucking flat against Kintsugi's back as he slammed hard into the body of the alien creature, knocking it back. |

Tuesday lands with all the flair that comes with gliding down to the ground with ones billowing cloak of feathers, her adorned sabatons meeting concrete mere seconds before she spins on her heels and turns to look at the beast.
"We got this!" She agrees with Silvermoon, full of confidence. She's smiling, she could even laugh — this is exciting to her. This is why she plays the game. The challenge. The adventure. The experience of facing overwhelming odds and coming out victorious.
"Tyrfing!" The blades him at her, slashing under her direction.

Kintsugi was thrown aside by the creature, Silvermoon barely managing to hang on- Looking up just in time to see Tuesday vanish in a gout of thunder- Silvermoon could only hope she had gone back to a Shrine. And not... something worse. "I..." Silvermoon's hands tightened in Kintsugi's ruff.
"I'm done with you!" They yelled, Kintsugi surging forward again. Pokemon, or something different- Silvermoon didn't care.
They would take it down. |

Astride her Dragonair, she returns, filled with the same bloodlust and battle drive those who know Tuesday should very well expect.... Both of these things only increasing when she sees Silvermoon vanish again just as she's about to make it back.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" Tuesday calls to the beast, jumping off Orm's back.
"Bitch, no one slaps my friends into oblivion twice." With this battle cry, she charges instead of giving her Pokémon any commands. A mud bomb is thrown, and using it as a distraction, an icy fist hits the beast, freezing part of a cord.

Kintsugi tore across the Nexus, slowing only when he saw the creature was quiet and still, Tuesday and Tyrfing no longer lashing out against it. “Tuesday!” Silvermoon called, sliding off of Kintsugi once they were close enough. “Are you okay?”
Kintsugi stepped forward to sniff at the creature, claws flexing into the ground. <… I’ve never seen anything like this.> |

Suddenly, it stops. The outbursts of electricity, the lashing out of cords, and even the glowing of what she now realises is probably supposed to be a spiky lightbulb. Whatever this thing is, they had all managed to knock it down, but that leaves the question: what the fuck is it?!
It's Kintsugi that voices what Tuesday is thinking when Silvermoon returns, but she turns to the pair and smiles, answering her friend's question with a reassuring: "Never better! You?" Then, she points at the beast. "If we catch, it we'll find out the species' name, and then we can look up some info."
That's her plan, and she's quick to execute it by pressing her golden Pokéball against a no-longer-glowing spike.
