 WORLD EVENT: NOONLIGHT RAIDThe blaze and the keg will lead the clan to victory... 00:23, 00:22, 00:21
The world is burning. Berry-red flames lick at thin plastic walls, devouring all they touch. A Rapidash burns with them, unnatural, foreboding. A unicorn consumed by fire, and left charred black.
00:16, 00:15, 00:14
Over the twisted remnants of a Greenhouse grows a great tree, wicked and wicker, a tangled thicket with a lion’s heart. A half-melted bouillon spoon is woven in among the twigs and thorns, sprouting from the BRIAR BEAST the same way branches do from the creature at its core. An innocent Shinx who fell into the power of a tainted God, now taken, now Changed.
And, though the players don’t know it yet, soon to be multiplying.
00:09, 00:08, 00:07
Plop. Plop. Soft sounds are buried in the crackle of flames as brambles twist and contort, depositing another cylindrical egg in the embers. The BRIAR BEAST is unaffected by the blaze. Its eggs ooze strange miasma, shrouding their shape in smoke. It steps on one with a metallic crunch, spilling dark, dank liquid across the ground.
No matter— there are more than enough to spare.
00:03, 00:02, 00:01–
Time resumes.
Furrlicity Purrfection spawns in first, on top of the twisted creature he’d been riding when the server shut down. It is much, much larger than when he left, and the sudden heights are dizzying. Tuesday , Finnegan Fjord , and Big Bee are next, touching down near the beds of ovoid objects. The heat is incredible, squeezing your lungs and searing your skin from mere proximity.
Yggy Br00ks , Alice! , Moon Bunny , and Laguna arrive simultaneously in The Garden, arranged back-to-back like a circle of mastodons protecting something precious: a burning core of molten light, something C0D13:Cygnus called the Heart.
But something is wrong. The outer surface of the core is marred with snaking black lines as Corruption— infectious, insidious— threatens to consume it. The veins throb sluggishly, as if draining life from the creature within.
Then comes the cavalry.
diva , inari , Fairytale , manish , Bronze , althaea , amanita , orioncayge , and Sarah Lee find themselves scattered throughout the many rooms of a well-kept Manor, familiar to some– but not all– as the site of the Round 2 Guild Hall.
As these players spawn in, all participants are sent a message from their UI. You can hear the sounds of a drill whirring in the background as C0D13:Cygnus, an older man with a magnificent silver mustache, puts something together off-screen.
"Ha, marvelous! The backup I requested is finally here. Be wary– you've been dropped into an extremely dangerous situation.” He points sternly at the camera. “That mansion is crawling with corrupted Pokemon. Any contact, by player or Pokemon, can lead to the spread of their corruption. Don't fight, don't get bitten, and for Arceus' sake don't w̴̝͐̂í̵͉̳w̴͖̽̽ ̸̡̓ͅẹ̸̊͘è̶̥͍̚ỵ̴̒̾ ̸̫͈͊g̷̞͎̏͝t̴̺̿ ̷̟͝f̸͚͆ů̵͕͔m̶̙̆ ̸̙̞̀̆ī̵̤͊h̷͇͓͒̉ḯ̸̻̖̈ ̶͈͕͐̏t̶̻̄i̵͈̐m̴͔͂s̵̨̛͜ụ̷̢̌̉ ̶̻̺̐̎ḷ̴̩͂̊ř̴̟̥ ̶̤̇k̷̨̤͋h̴̪̀w̶̨̕ ̸͐ͅt̵̰͎̓̊d̸̪͝ͅv̸̗͆͗ĺ̸̛̞g̷̭̓j̸̥̞̽̂!̷͇̭̽"
Cygnus continues, oblivious to having said anything strange.
"Your goal is to subdue the Pokemon. Play defense, set up traps, detain them in any way you can. I need time to finish what I'm working on. Anyone with Pokemon fit for battle, head for the GREENHOUSE! Anyone specialized in healing, hurry up and join me in the GARDEN!"
As the popup closes out, each player in the mansion is confronted by a twisted, blackened Pokemon. Though each of their appearances is different, they all trail ichorous black soot and bear sinister, autumn-colored eyes. The shadows surrounding Cygnus in the Garden are similar, though they lack a concrete physical form.
For now.
ZONES & BATTLE MAP- This raid is divided into three zones: Greenhouse, Garden, and Mansion.
- On your turn, you may begin moving to your preferred zone. Players will reach an adjacent zone next turn unless they have
ESCAPE. - Players and their Pokemon must be in the same zone.

Color rushed past her in a technicolor blur as her senses linked back into the world of UNOVR, bringing her back to the Garden where Cygnus had just named her, Alice, Moon Bunny, and Laguna all temporary Knights of Mythstar. Pixels fuzzed across her arms, then stabilized. She was still banded with dripping runes, the remnants of a desperate cry for help.
“I’m back, Watson! Did ya miss me?”
Grinning, Yggy looked down at her Oshawott.
Its fur crumbled away black in her hands.
“What the– oh, crap.” Cygnus’s message finally came through and she dropped Not-Watson like a sack of potatoes. The otter fell with a splat, leaving streaks of tar on the grass. Yggy wiped her hands hurriedly on her shirt and grabbed onto Alice fearfully. “Crap crap crap, I touched it! Am I gonna get corrupted?!”
There was real terror in her voice. Not again.
“Nugget, get her out of here! She’s gonna mess up the Heart!” the tomboy yelled, accidentally using Not-Watson’s real gender in her panic. “Use Electro Ball! I mean, wait! Never mind!” Cygnus’ warning echoed in her mind like Professor Oak when you tried to use your bicycle indoors. Don't fight, don't get bitten, and for Arceus' sake don't—
Springing off Yggy’s shoulder, Nugget bared his teeth and bounded several feet away, waving his tail. <Oy! Over here! Watson! You wanna fight me? Come on, come on, hey!>
Eyes burning like fall leaves, the corrupted Oshawott turned. <I’m not Watson,> she said, voice dull and echoing, and took off after the Pikachu.
“Phew. Aw, man, but now the egg’s going bad!” Yggy stressed, seeing the glowing core they were supposed to protect covered in creeping black lines. “Wait, is it an egg? Heart?” She looked around, realizing with a sinking heart that there was no one around but the five of them. “So we have to heal it? Crap, I only have one Support. You guys have Support Pokemon, right?” she was panicking, almost pleading. “Chain Chomp, do something!”
SCREECH split the air as the Galarian Meowth opened his toothy maw and howled, bathing the core in rippling sound waves. Yggy covered her ears protectively as she saw the dark veins receding from the sonar onslaught. “It’s working! Keep going! We need help!” she yelled, looking around desperately. Where was Chadwick? Where was Finn and Big Bee and Furrlicity?
She didn’t know—but as Chain Chomp screamed his name to the heavens, the shadows slid closer than ever.

CORRUPTION: 0/3 | THREAT: #1 | INSIGHT: 0 | MANSION > MOVING TO GARDEN
He was dropped into the game once more once the timer had stopped. Hitting the floor hard and feeling a hard wrack of pain in one of his legs. He'd had reduced pain on but he still could feel it burning in his leg. Probably since he'd managed to hit something hard and metal as he fell. A bedframe? Was he in a training room or something? Looking around as he listened to the old man on his UI he remembered suddenly... manish had also signed up for this raid and had been kicked out. Which meant he was alone somewhere in this spooky as hell mansion probably trying to talk to corrupted Pokemon that wanted to eat him for breakfast. Or dinner? He guessed it was dinner time now.
Bracing himself he knew from years of watching horror movies that what he was about to do was going to be stupid as hell. But that wasn't going to stop him from doing it. Cupping his hands around his mouth he inhaled then exhaled yelling, "MANISH?" It would draw attention he was sure but, he could probably handle that? Never mind the fact that the other guy was a powerhouse in this game who absolutely could handle things himself. If he like... wanted to. But part of him didn't think Manish would like fighting. He honestly felt like the dumb blonde girlfriend as he pushed open the door, bracing himself for something that was coming his way. The door was just within his reach once he entered the Foyer.
And then he heard the wet sound.
He was hoping that he would be able to find Manish quickly and that they would be able to work together. But the sound of the wet and slapping footprints coming towards him meant that he would need to take care of that instead. If he could. He only had two Pokemon on him and he was pretty sure they were both weak as hell. Why didn't he try harder to get stronger in this game? Neither of them even matched his class. He didn't want to be locked in the bedroom as he saw the beast turn the corner. It looked like it was covered in a sickening black slime that even smelled rancid. Like it was rotting. Manish was going to hate this.
"Oh fuck. Oh fuck. Oh fuck."
Quickly he grabbed what appeared to be a candlestick and threw it hard at the creature, forgetting that he had Pokemon by his side that could attack it for a moment. Yeah. He was hitting all of those dumb blond tropes right now really hard. All he needed now was for his shirt to get ripped open or to lose his shoes. Luckily his little coded buddies were... Slightly smarter than he was. As the ichorous mass lurched towards him again, which he could now see looked to be a... Swan? It looked disgusting as black goo oozed from where he figured it's eyes were. He wanted to just... hurry through the door to the outside world as fast as he could.
But of course it seemed to be blocking his exit. Wait, flying types were probably weak against ice right? Probably? It's what he remembered at least from that trainer school thing that they'd done. At least he was pretty sure he remembered. Anyways. He was going to figure this out. "Chaga, use an ice attack?" It was vague and embarrassing to ask like that but, he'd literally gotten this Pokemon about five minutes before they got kicked out for the raid. He was lucky he'd even gotten to name it before this thing started. But at least the thing actually did know an ice move.
The temperature dropped a bit as the Icy Wind blew around them, slowing the Swanna down it seemed as it begun to freeze in place. All of that extra goop and goo seemed to be ready to be iced down. For the most part. Maybe just enough that they could get out the door and to the garden! Dodging around the goo on the floor he hurried towards the door, hoping that Manish would be outside.

CORRUPTION: 0/3 | THREAT: #3 | INSIGHT: 0 | CURRENT ZONE > MOVING TO GARDEN
There is a massive difference between asian horror and american horror. That was something Inari had found out rather quickly when he had been watching random movies that he could find online. He'd also found that maybe, just maybe, watching scary horror movies when you lived in someone's shitty basement was a bad idea. So when he heard the crackle and corruption in the NPC's voice he couldn't help but be thrown back to when he had to help deal with C0D13 in the game's first massive event raid. It had been a nightmare and not something he'd wanted to have to play with again.
So when he gasped awake on the dinging room floor with the sound of pots and pans crashing to the floor he couldn't help but be a little confused. He'd known that his Pokemon would be active in this event but he hadn't counted on Congee actually being... Out... And about... Thrashing through the kitchen like he was on a rampage. Though to be fair he probably was. From what vague bits he remembered Gyarados were prone to rampaging at the slightest inconvenience. And being trapped in the kitchen like this was probably very inconvenient for it.
"Can you please stop?" He asked it as he rubbed his head gently. One of the pans that had been thrown from the stove had landed on him at some point and now his head was throbbing. Realistic pain was a bad idea. And once again he thought he should probably change it in the settings. His eyes were just a little bit blurred as he pulled himself up from the floor. Instead of stopping the floating water type went harder at it, tail swiping over the dining room table again. Glasses shattered and broke as they hit walls and floors, creating a terrible mess of it all.
But that was quickly ignored when he heard a chittering sound from the ceiling. The npc had said something about there being some fucked up Pokemon in here, right? Carefully he looked up at the ceiling to see burning eyes staring down at him from above. Ichor dripping from the fangs of the creature he realized it was poised to jump down on him. Fangs bared and with a wet sound it dropped, screeching at him as he quickly shifted himself backwards to move away from it. The grookey landed on some of the broken glass but ignored it as though the feeling wasn't even there as it approached him.
"Gross gross gross." He started to lash out to kick the Pokemon with his foot but realized that was probably a bad idea considering it was covered in... Goop. Goop was bad. So instead he tried to stand quickly as the Grookey smacked it's ichor covered stick onto the ground over and over again. Causing strange sparks and what looked like a fire burning inside of it to flare. This was weird. He needed to find something to stop it though, the best he could. And that's when he saw the basket in the corner. It looked like it was used for linens, like someone had been collecting them.
Grabbing it he turned quickly as the grookey launched itself at him again, no longer with the slow and steady pace but ready to attack. Somehow with his limited coordination he managed to capture it and close the lid with the former grass type screeching inside as he looked for something heavy to set on the basket. If he could keep it trapped in there then maybe he wouldn't have to deal with it again. And other people might not either. One of the few remaining chairs that hadn't been set upon by his Gyarados seemed to be the best bet as he set it on the rocking basket.
Maybe it would go to sleep since it was dark in there? But before he could really think it through or get his bearings in place, a louder crashing sound happened and Congee had... Broken part of the wall to the house. At least... It was an exit? "Congee!" The rampaging Gyarados went through the exit it had made and quickly Inari followed, on his way to the garden to help.

”Let’s check the map, team~!” Fairytale proclaimed as soon as the NPC was done speaking. Conveniently enough, they had spawned in the Kitchen. Apparently, that was right by the Greenhouse, where battlers were meant to go. ”Oh, how convenient~! We’re right by the-“ Suddenly their voice cut out as they turned to actually look at their team, just in time to see Padma’s form crumple into ash.
Their expression froze. Whatever was there now, it wasn’t Padma. Wasn’t the sweet, kind Bulbasaur they’d named after a long line of their dear friend’s Bulbasaurs. But now Padma was gone, just like she was. The distorted not-Padma smiled malevolently, then laughed, a chillingly unhappy noise. No sound that cheery Padma would have ever made. This was a mockery of her.
Face contorted into a snarl, Fairytale grabbed a knife from a nearby knife holder. The not-Padma’s eyes widened then darted off too quickly for Fairytale to throw it. But the Rapidash approaching wasn’t as wise. The balance of a knife wasn’t the same as darts, but they were experienced with finding the balance of all sorts of darts. So it wasn’t hard to find the right balance to throw the knife right at the Rapidash. It reared back, startled by the Trainer using Knife and leaking tar-like fluid from its injury.
Expression now icily blank, they grabbed yet another two knives from the knife holder, for future usage. Then, followed by their remaining partners eerily silent after that all happening, they darted out to get to the Greenhouse. They were determined to destroy. Even if they had to take matters into their own hands.

CORRUPTION: 0/3 | THREAT: 4 | INSIGHT: +10 | GREENHOUSE After waiting impatiently on the login screen, the timer finally ticks down to 00:01.
Finn spawns in a makeshift nest of searing heat that steals the breath from his lungs. BETA TESTER abilities see his skin pixilate as he tries to avoid being burned by mere proximity. Relief registers strange on fractured features as he spies Tuesday nearby.
"You made it. Thought the fire might've fucked you up."
He grimaces upon seeing Furrlicity Purrfection playing rodeo with the BRIAR BEAST.
C0D13:Cygnus's message appears on his screen, distracting him. What if we're not specialized in anything? No instruction is given, and so Finn decides to square up against the demon he'd created. It was, after all, taking his best friend on a joyride.
"I'm staying here. Sorry, Monarch."
He addresses the twisted, corrupted form of his former Pokemon before sending his other three in to fight. Hecate and Goliath work in tandem to summon twin RAIN DANCES, hoping to combat the insufferable heat and perhaps drench the burning core of the beast. Warden's jingling keys provide a battle song with which to BUFF the RAZOR-SHELLED Goliath, who charges in with fierce speed. SWORDS DANCE boosts the following LIQUIDATION, but the strain of forcing himself past his limits in combination with the unbearable heat sees the bug's shell singed and cracked in places.
Grabbing a RAKE from the groundskeepers neatly-arranged tools, Finn swats away a bramble appendage. Wiping sweat from his brow, he grins. This was going to be fun.
Of course, that mirth doesn't last long — Rapidash's flames spread wild and dangerous where the rain doesn't reach, BURNING everything in their path. Finn curses as flames lick up his arm, transforming his words into an agonized scream as his pain settings remind him just why you're not supposed to stick your hand on a hot surface. Dropping the rake and ripping off his cloak, he smothers the flame and binds it around his arm.

CORRUPTION: 0/3 | THREAT: 3 | INSIGHT: +10 | GARDEN
Anticipation burned through Alice's veins as her surroundings materialized around her. Though she hadn't had the chance to explore it during the dungeon, she recognized she was standing in the Garden - along with the other temporary Knights of Mythstar. Protect the Heart, is what Cygnus had said before Professor's Ash had come in last night.
Cygnus briefed them on the situation and it quickly became clear what their task was here in the Garden. Good thing I switched Sol to a Support class! It was a last-minute decision she'd made in case it might be useful to have one Pokémon of each kind of class on hand.
“Huh?” Surprised as Yggy Br00ks grabbed her arm in fright, she looked to find what had spooked her so much—and then wide violet eyes found the corrupt Oshawott. “Don’t worry, I’m sure it can’t infect you by touching it for only a few seconds... Cygnus said something about not getting bitten, so zombie rules, right?” Despite the confidence she tried to inject in her tone, she couldn’t help but feel anxiety, not just for herself but also for Yggy. Across her arms and torso lay the evidence of the struggle of the dungeon they'd just completed - the experience had literally marked her. Corruption was all around them - wreathing around the core of the creature trapped within the Heart, and now Yggy had already lost her partner Pokémon to corruption. "Help will come, and in the meantime we can at least defend ourselves." Still, she wasn't sure how to protect themselves from corrupted Pokémon if they couldn't fight them.
At least Nugget the Pikachu had a good response to that, leading Oshawott on a wild goose chase away from the Heart. Alice turned toward Mareep. "Can you put up a little Light Screen action in front of us? That might help a bit."
As Mareep set up the Light Screen in front of the four girls (plus Cygnus), Alice had to clap her hands over her ears at the sound of Meowth's deafening screeching. To her amazement, a few of the pulsing dark tendrils began to recede from around the Heart. "Sol can help heal it too!" She caught the electric sheep's attention again and pointed toward the heart. "Use Charge Beam!"
<You got it!> Sol planted himself before the heart (but not without doing a couple skips of excitement first) and unleashed his Charge Beam upon the Heart. He was a Support now, so any attack should heal rather than harm. Even as she watched, she could see the dark tendrils Chain Chomp had loosed retreating further.
"Kirby, I want you on standby ready to use Fake Tears to distract Oshawott if she comes nearby again." She turned toward Coraline. "I want you to stay here too - but if a corrupted Pokémon gets within range, try using Disable. I know Pokémon here aren't exactly restricted to a moveset of four, but one less could still help."
Alice rolled her shoulders, hoping to relieve some of the tension in them and as she did, she got a good look at Moon Bunny for the first time and did a bit of a double-take. She'd seen her from a bit of a distance before, but not this close. It was almost like looking in a mirror. The other girl had similar long pink hair and violet eyes, but instead of fox ears she had bunny ears. "I know this kinda isn't the time... but I can't just not say something - god we could be twins!" She waved her hands apologetically. "Sorry, sorry! I'll be serious now." She squinted her eyes at Cygnus, quite busy at work behind them. "Any idea what he's working on?"

CORRUPTION: 0/3 | THREAT: 2 | INSIGHT: 0 | MANSION > MOVING TO GARDEN
Dark, cramped and disorientated - Those are the first things she has to contend with upon loading back into UNOVR. Where... what even is happening right here? And where is-
As she shifts to try and get up, she soon finds herself tumbling right back to the ground, light flooding her senses once more as she catches a vague glimpse of the locker she'd just been in. And before she's able to process anything else, everything snaps into focus with a piercing pain around her right ankle, vines wrapped tight around it as a tearful look comes into view.
"Athy, where is this? Thar's a scary goosey around and it's not loosey or silly!"
Of course he would be scared by the unknown, and from what she can tell, she's really chosen quite the first event to get involved in. Cora and Cael are tucked up against his back, each looking to her for explanations but soon realising that they'll find none. All Althaea has to go off of is the message that pops up on her UI and even then, it barely explains the whole situation about corruption other than it spreads.
Maybe she should have read up more on the game's history, or found a few other players to fill her in before she dove right into it.
"I'll keep you guys safe." Though tense, her smile comes natural as ever, a mask of confidence donned over her fumbling mind as she picks herself up. "Stick close, okay? We need to avoid the scary pokemon as far as possible."
Wherein comes a strange-looking Croconaw, the young trio screaming in panic as it charges right at them. In a burst of adrenaline, Althaea grabs hold of the locker door and slams it right into its face. And with the few moments that it's stunned, she sweeps her pokemon into her arms and starts running. Where are the people? Where is the way to the garden? Oh dear god, she hasn't done this much running since the annual athletics meet she participated in during middle school.
"That's the goosey!"
Vines wriggle to point at the threat.
A quick glance provides her the sight of a Swanna being buffeted by icy winds, and another player trying to flee out of the door. First off, there are many things wrong here - Particularly, the terminology that Kaleo used to describe the corrupted pokemon but there's no time to correct him on this one. In her own sheer panic, Cora tries to put the slowed Swanna to Sleep in a puff of Powder.
How it ends up affecting the Swanna is a secondary concern compared to getting right on out of here and grouping up with the other players. So she speeds up, trying her best not to trip or slip on anything - The good ol' ways of how to avoid being killed in a horror scenario.

CORRUPTION: 1/3 | THREAT: 9 | INSIGHT: 10 | GREENHOUSE  "Burn, fuckers."
This is what Tuesday had said when setting the greenhouse aflame, but as the petite Alchemist is quick to find out, sometimes not even all of the gravitas, confidence, and sheer #baddassery in the world can make up for making terrible choices. Obviously, she blames the game. How could she not? Gravitas, confidence, and #baddassery are like 40% of the reason for Mars’ own fame and success.
Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming…
"Damn, these fuckers don’t burn." Is what Tuesday loudly declares when logging back into the game and witnessing the chaos around her. She’s covered in scratches, dark soot marks her clothes and luscious golden hair, and she’s still wearing the same sunglasses she had donned on yesterday. She stands proudly despite it all. It’s a mistake. When her tail sways as it usually does when she’s mildly annoyed, the very tip of it gets a little too close to one of the many many fires around her (which she’s cause for, mind you), and inevitably, the golden tuft of fur at its end catches aflame.
"Ow! Fuck! Ow!"
Talk about a blow to her #badass entrance, huh? Especially with those realistic pain threshold settings she refuses to change. Thankfully for her, an icy chain delicately wraps around her burning tail tip, dousing the flames and soothing some of the pain. Goodbye, beautiful tuft of golden fur.
"Yup, sure did make it. Though Rocinante isn’t looking so good." She finally responds to Finnegan Fjord, Rocinante being of course the name of her Rapidash. Apparently, Finn’s Monarch isn’t looking so good either… Wait… That giant thing she had tried to stab is Finn’s little blue cat?! Tuesday frowns at the realisation, as well as at C0D13:Cygnus ‘s message. "Okay, here’s how it’s gonna go down…"
Oh, get ready people. Here it comes! Everyone knows every good battle needs a rhyme! First things first, Tuesday cups her hands over her mouth and yells at a Furrlicity Purrfection that seems to think he’s a cowboy cat now:
"FURRLICITY! WE NEED BACK UP, WHERE’S YOUR DUMB FRAT?!"
Then, reaching into the shed she had searched earlier she retrieves a hedge trimmer, and in a much more civil tone she says the following to Finnegan Fjord just as the visceral sound of the gardening machine being turned on cuts through the air:
"Finn, I’m going to kill your cat."
It’s personal. But, how is the hedge trimmer working if there’s fire everywhere? Is it connected to something? Lets attribute it to game logic.
"And Cygnus… No offense, but fuck that."
Tuesday may be fine with healing most of the time, but she and the BRIAR BEAST have a score to settle. She’s sure her pokémon feel the same. Ancile and Orm are by her side, ready to do as she commands, and Chariot… Where the fuck did Chariot go?
<'Kill! Kill! K̷i̷l̴l̶!̶ K̶͎͑i̵̟͋l̷̢͊ḹ̴!̸̞͌ ̶̜̈́K̴̮̓ị̸̏l̸̢̛l̶̦̐!̶͇̉ ̷̲͘K̷͎͑i̷̖̚l̴̖̽l̸̨͗!̷͖̾ ̵̟̊K̵̡̐í̴͕l̸͕̊l̵̘̓!̸̞̑ ̸̠͝K̴̳͘i̴̡͝l̶̮̆ḽ̷̐!'>
"Ah, fucking shit. Are you kidding me?!"
The Whirlipede had apparently decided to roll around in the flames and liquid oozing out of an egg she had broken, and as such CORRUPTION had begun to take effect on her.
Tuesday sighs, more annoyed than anything else. With her chariot gone, she chooses a quick replacement: a steel wheelbarrow onto which she stands, keeping her from stepping upon flames. "Ancile, there's too many of those weird eggs in the way. Orm, keep Chariot distracted."
As Tuesday says, her pokémon do, and as is their true commander in this battlefield, she watches the havoc they attempt to wreck from the heights of her wheelbarrow. Orm, as TOXIC as his trainer, smacks the Whirlipede with his tail and manages to also hit the Briar Beast while at it. Ancile, on the other hand, has been weakened by the events that led up to this, but his ACID ARMOR still manages to destroy a (k)egg when smashing against it.
One of said branches attempts to smack Tuesday herself, since we know the Briar Beast is no fan of her. What does Tuesday do? Cut clean through it with her hedge trimmer, of course. Get some Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibes up in here!
Once this is done, she turns to look at the other person who stands with them, and remembering something Tuesday reaches into one of her many pockets (hedge trimmer still running and in hand, obviously). The small bag is tossed towards Big Bee with a simple nonchalant question "Mint?"
The Petilil leaves he had liked so much.
On the small, not-at-all-suspicious, transparent bag, a gilded symbol stands out:

CORRUPTION: 0/3 | THREAT: 6 | INSIGHT: +10 | GREENHOUSE
Chu-e waits impatiently on the home screen. The clock hits 00:01 and... well, it did say he was the first one in, right?
He knows that Finnegan Fjord and many others will follow. They'll flood this place.
For a moment, Furrlicity is shocked by, well, everything. The flaming Beast between his thighs, scorching him through his pants. The remains of the greenhouse, the sickly eggs. His pokemon pop out of Pokeballs, summoned by the Raid. They land on the ground, near Tuesday.
This is all that Furrlicity gets to see as he should, though. Because another timer hits 00:00 only a moment or so after the first. The CORRUPTION timer in his Status Bar ticks over, activating.
Furrlicity cries out as glowing, hot, molten nectar pours from his lips. The hole in his chest opens back up, fresh, showing a beating orange- yellow core where his heart should be. A whimper as claws and fangs lengthen, blacken, fading at the tips; ichor and nectar drip like honey from his nails. It pours from his eyes like tears, sticky down his cheeks.
Wicked, black branches curve from his back like wings, caging his body. Brambles break from temple and curl around his brow, a crown of black Corruption sitting on his head. The 'wings' and 'crown' also bleed with small beads of orange-yellow, dripping onto his clothing.
When he pulls his hands away from his face, his eyes are black. Orange glows in slits as he looks over Finnegan Fjord, Tuesday, and Big Bee.
"You're killing them." He sounds aghast. Disgust rises in his tone.
"You're fucking killing them!"
He grasps his Steed firmly, squeezing his thighs together to keep a solid grip.
Eyes narrow.
A new HP bar takes place on the UI.
Sliding from his perch, Furrlicity reaches into a thick pile of ooze and pulls out a twisted, mangled scrap of metal. Moving forward with purpose and grace, he lifts up the makeshift sword. He pointed it with purpose at Tuesday.
"Buff him."
< A-ah... um... Furrlicity, I don't think that's.... > Treecko tried to speak up.
"Buff. Him."
Treecko swallows hard, glancing over in some type of apology at the other trainers. But, he nods to the Impadimp and Cottanee. A glowing of Grass and Fairy power from the three pokemon, which is soaked into the Briar Beast. But the Rules are the Rules, as this is a game. One of the Buffs pings back, soaking into Treecko instead.

CORRUPTION: 1/3 | THREAT: 6 | INSIGHT: 0 | Manor > Greenhouse
It took Orion but a moment to blink back into reality and let everything sink in.
All hell had broken loose, and here we was standing in the training room-
The Training room where a very menacing looking Jam and and an unknown Croconaw.
This could only go a handfull of ways honestly.
"Boss!" Achilles roared, brandishing a set of weights as he jabbed at the Croconaw.
"You spaced out through the whole fucking mystery!" Hades hissed, wait, when did Hades get out here.
"Yeah," Orion managed to grunt-
"Been a little busy with some other shit-"
"Busy my fucking ass!" Achilles roared.
"Shit's been going sideways ever since you left-"
"I'm fucking aware! What's the status repor-"
But it seemed like Space Jam the Man was not keen on letting these homies catch up, letting out a mighty battlecry he began to heat the room up, mighty embers of distorted flame leaking from his terrifying little maw.
"We don't have time for this." Achilles roared, smacking the Croconaw back with the dumbel with a swooshing motion before scooping up Hades and Orion in one arm, "Get the fuck out of here and fi-"
///
Orion couldn't hear the rest of his message as he and Hades hit the glass with more force then he though the feline capable, smashing through and sailing through the air, "Oof-"
Orion felt the wind escape his lungs and a sharp crack along one of his ribs as he watched Achilles throw down with the two distorted 'Mon through the shattered window.
"Achilles!" Hades howled, hissing with his fangs bared.
"He's got it!" Orion hissed through clenched teeth, grabbing at the Quilava "We need to figure out what's going on so he doesn't go down with the ship for nothing."
Hades let out a mournful howl before turning to follow Orion, making their way to the commotion at the greenhouse where it appeared the rest were all engaged in some sort of fight.
"Ayo!" Orion wheezed as he spotted Big Bee "Jam is being a naughty lil fu-"
The Briarbeast let out a mighty roar, drowning out Orion and other other expletives he may have had.
"Alright you bitchass motherfucker!" Hades howled. "It's time to fuck up your whole ass ni-"
Another roar silenced the two and any warcries they may have had in store.
The beast made it clear, the time for talk was over.
Orion glanced around the area and began to take note of all of the Eggs clustered around the walls, eyes furrowing a bit.
"Hades! Get to breaking the-"
He stopped stunned as Furrlicity hit the change team button, his hands clenched tightly into fists.
"Boss?" Hades asked, looking over his shoulder to Orion.
"LETS GO APESHIT." Orion howled, his warrior spirit activating and swathing his body in flame.
"YOU GOTTIT BOSS!" Hades hissed, unleashing a gout of flame and smashing five eggs.
Orion for his part, began to smash the eggs up too, letting out a loud taunt. "COMEONE BRIARFUCK, I'M SMASHING YOUR BABIES UP, WATCHA GONNA FUCKING DO?"

CORRUPTION: 1/3 | THREAT: 6 | INSIGHT: 0 | MANSION > MOVING TO GREENHOUSE
Manish spawned back in and found himself staring down a unicorn. A very messed up looking unicorn. “Uh…” he said intelligently before stumbling backwards into a counter. Without looking, he grabbed whatever object was sitting on the counter: a large bowl. The unicorn was dripping in ichor, flames on it’s back, and quite frankly looked like it was going to eat him and Manish raised up the bowl as a makeshift shield. “Please don’t eat me? Do unicorns eat people?” at his question going unanswered, Manish looked around. “Wait, where’s Amanita? Why isn’t he here?” The unicorn let out an awful noise and took a step closer, pulling Manish’s attention back to the threat in front of him.
Lucy jumped in between Manish and the corrupted Rapidash,. <Don’t worry bossman, I think unicorns only mess with virgins.>
“…Um…” Manish was suddenly very glad that amanita didn’t spawn in the same room as him.
Threat immediately forgotten at a chance to roast Manish, Lucy spun around and gave him a delighted look. <’Um’? Really? A good looking guy like you? I mean, sure, you’re real weird and kinda lame and can’t talk to people and…wait, no, actually that makes total sense.>
“Can we not do this right now?!” Manish shrieked, still trying to put as much distance between him and the gooey unicorn.
<Yeah! The chosen one could get anyone he wanted if he tried! He’s just too busy planning the liberation of all pokemon!> Narrator appeared on the counter next to him.
<Pfft, I bet bossman can’t even get a cold to look twice at him.>
<Nu-uh! He could catch all the colds he wanted!>
The almost fight was thankfully interrupted by Ryan <Aw man, this Bulbasaur sick. What happened little buddy?>
Manish ripped his eyes from the unicorn to look over across the kitchen to see a small Bulbasaur covered in the same black ichor as the unicorn. “Yeah, nope, make fun of me later please? Time to go.”
Lucy and Narrator shrugged and went to follow Manish outside, but the corrupted Rapidash and Bulbasaur did not agree with that idea. They both let out horrifying screams and attacked, firing flaming black tar and rotted leaves at him respectively. Manish gave a yelp as he scuttled backwards and ducked behind his bowl. To his surprise it worked and as the flaming tar hit the bowl, it ricocheted off and back towards the two pokemon. “Huh,” he looked down at the bowl with a new appreciation.
Unfortunately, the corrupted weren’t the only two pokemon hit in the bounceback, Narrator was caught in the crossfire, splashes of ichor covering the fox.
Manish ran over to his pokemon and crouched next to it, but still making sure not to touch it. “Narrator? Are you, uh, are you okay?”
<Chosen…one…> he coughed, <run. You gotta, I can’t fight it. You gotta go.>
“But…”
<I am Manish’s…corrupted…heart> and Manish watched in horror as Narrator changed right before his eyes. He scrambled away, Lucy pulling him up and Ryan doing his best to keep the other corrupted pokemon away from them.
<Gotta go, bossman.>
“I can’t leave him!” Tears were filling Manish’s eyes.
Ryan nudged him on. <We have to. Go, go, go.>
“I…I’m sorry, I’m so so so sorry, Narrator.”
Seeing an opening, the corrupted Bulbasaur jumped at Manish. On pure instinct Manish lifted the bowl again right as the Bulbasaur slammed into him, sending both crashing through the window behind Manish. He smashed right through the glass and landed rather painfully in a bush outside. Lucy jumped through the window after him and Ryan sensibly just walked out the door.
“Ow. Heck. Ow, I thought I had pain turned off?” Manish moaned from the bush. Ryan used his vines to grab the bowl that still contained the Bulbasaur and tossed both the bowl and Bulbasaur back through the shattered window.
<You okay, bossman?> Lucy asked as she picked some glass out of his hair. Manish wasn’t totally sure how to answer that question. He didn’t have Narrator and he had no idea where Amanita was.
<Guys? What’s that?> Lucy and Manish both turned their attention to where Ryan was pointing.
There was a large greenhouse with a…something inside. Manish had no idea what it was, but there were people in there and they looked like they needed help. What if Amanita was in there? At that thought, Manish didn’t even consider that he might be running into danger. “We have to help!” He scrambled back up and dashed towards it, Lucy and Ryan hot on his heels.

CORRUPTION: 1/3 | THREAT: 6 | INSIGHT: 0 | MANSION > GREENHOUSE
Sarah hit the ground running, almost slipping on the gorgeous rug that ran down the length of the Hall of Hammers. She had her minimap open and set to re-orient as she moved around the unfamiliar space, the mansion map set to 10% opacity and filling her field of view.
"Tuesday's in the Greenhouse," she shouted to her Pokemon. The mansion was filled with sounds of battle. Roaring, stomping, an unusual amount of swearing, and a chill breeze that made her shiver. She pulled a hanging tapestry off the wall and wrapped it around herself as she ran. The powerful Bronstanton lineage would keep her warm.
But she didn't need it for long. Her Kindler powers kicked in, bringing her blood to a rolling boil, just as she rounded the corner into the kitchen and came face to face with a unicorn dripping with sizzling black tar. She pulled up short as the beast turned on her, its mane of ichor bubbling and steaming like a primordial pit.
Sarah's eyes flicked between the creature, the door it was blocking, and the map that now overlaid the wreckage of the kitchen. "Is there another way out into the Greenhouse?" she asked, taking a step back.
There wasn't.
She whipped off the tapestry she'd had draped around her shoulders and tossed it at Rapidash. The priceless woven artifact stuck to its oozing mane, entangling the horse in generations of genealogy.
But before Sarah could consider her next move, Bernie the Dunsparce bounded into the room! "Mrs President, get down!" he shouted, rubbery body flawlessly preserving his momentum as he catapulted himself towards the burning bronco. He crashing into the Rapidash like a Honda Civic colliding with a small child, and the pair bounced between floor and kitchen island, cracking and rebounding in a rubbery melee.
The door out to the Greenhouse was still blocked, but when God blocks a door with a corrupted unicorn, he opens a window. Or has someone smash it in advance, anyway.
Sarah dove straight through the recently ruined kitchen window, narrow avoiding landing head first on the brick pavers outside. Chell and Ron came through after her, tearing a massive burning hole in the wall. "Huh. Probably should have let them go through first," Sarah said, cradling her arm, which had been slashed to hell by the dive through the shattered window.
She looked around, and saw the familiar silhouette of the most powerful man in UNOVR. "Oh hey manish!"

CORRUPTION: 0/3 | THREAT: 4 | INSIGHT: +10 | MANSION > GREENHOUSE “This secret room,” Bergamot mused, blue symbols reflecting in her eyes, “…is not so secret anymore.”
She stood at the threshold, the glowing arch where she had written friend and sought free entry. She had materialized back here, drawn perhaps to the last landmark she’d checked in at before her untimely departure. It was a fascinating Easter Egg, and the initials on the wall had led her to the revelation of Cygnus’ identity. It was also a dead end.
Morgana turned around, eyes glinting. “Hello, Jack.”
Mudkip stood where she’d last left him, stubby-legged, folds of skin falling in black sheets from his body.
“Little do you know, I know your weakness,” Morgana continued, groping slowly around herself. Her fingers touched papers, writing instruments, battlemap figurines. I need some kind of weapon. A secret room with not a single saber? Outrageous. She found the dial to the safe, still wet with residue, and wondered if she could trap the Mudkip inside it. Too bad I don’t know his favorite food. For the first time, she regretted not having Pokemon Speech on.
Before, it went for fire. Could any of her Pokemon use a fire attack to draw Jack away? I don’t suppose Dragon Rage would count. Was there anything else she could do? Anything she could remember? Any extra insight she might have?
Her eyes narrowed.
“#Badass,” Bergamot said slowly. Jack tilted his head at her, wide mouth drooling ichor. His burning eyes bored into her. “#Badass. Cygnus is a #Badass, don’t you think? The old man on the video call.” Her voice rose in volume, pitching higher, more confident. “He was in the keg the whole time, you know, and still survived! I’d count that as pretty #Badass.”
Jack shuddered as she went on. “You should probably go see him. He’s so incredibly #Badass, he’s probably a pretty big threat to your master, with that device he’s building. A weapon?”
Whether her guess was right or not, it had the desired effect. The Mudkip turned, swaying on its paws, leaving oozing footprints in the dust. <PEEP, PEEP,> it said menacingly, then left the Secret Room behind.
Morgana let out her breath, spinning around. “All right, you can come out.” The Gyarados who’d been coiled up on the ceiling just out of sight came spiraling down, releasing a drippy Glaceon and furious Piplup from its mouth.
“Oh, quit complaining, I just saved all of you. Now, if you’ll give me just a moment, I think I know a way out of here.”
She turned to inspect the far wall. It was covered with scribbles, battle plans, war maps. Photographs laced with red thread like a detective’s office.
“Break it,” she said, turning and walking away.
For a Gyarados and two Sweepers, it was child’s play.
BOOM! The wall caved in, revealing a triumphant Bergamot Gristleborg with nary a scratch, except for the tortilla-chip-sized chunk of glass sticking out of her forehead. It also revealed the kitchen on the other side, where a certain Sarah Lee had just dived out the window.
“Oh I have to get her,” Bergamot said immediately, running after the Kindler with her high-speed-heels. “Yoo-hooo! Sarah Lee! Wait up, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to leave me behind to accidentally sabotage the whole operation, would you?”
There was no accident about it, but Sarah Lee didn’t have to know that. As a 100% Support Player, she could have easily run the other direction through the house full of corrupted Pokemon to assist Cygnus in the garden as he’d requested. But that was where she’d sent Jack, and wasn’t it much easier to just blast through the wall to the kitchen and leave out that direction?
Her Pokemon raced after her, trying to subtly remove the chunk of glass in her head, which was starting to bleed. She’d forgotten her pain settings were still on REDUCED after she’d changed them during the binge-drinking event.
“Oh, it’s you,” Bergamot said, flouncing up bossily to the man Sarah had just greeted. Her eyes shone, mirroring the blaze just ahead. “Listen up, manish, there may be— and I said may be— a Larvitar in that greenhouse. Do you think you can handle that?”

CORRUPTION: 0/3 | THREAT: 3 | INSIGHT: 10 | GREENHOUSE > MANSION
Big Bee entered into a world on fire.
Oozing banks of crackling briar were consuming the greenhouse from the inside, as Tuesday and Finnegan Fjord fought back the raging Briar Beast. Furrlicity Purrfection appeared to have switched sides, and was now helping the boss monster. "Ooo nice twist!" Big Bee said, "I always expected it to be Bergamot Gristleborg that betrayed us." He enjoyed the spectacular battle for a few more seconds before tactically retreating from the danger zone, smashing a few of the eggs on his way out. I've gotta find Jam!
When he'd been booted from the server, the baby Groudon had been right there. In the thick of things, in the burning Greenhouse just as the whole world seemed to be coming around them. But now he was gone!
As Big Bee ditched the fight he passed trainers swarming towards the Greenhouse, and he desperately tried not to look suspicious or cowardly. "I'll cover your advance!" he called to someone heading the other way, and he gave them a brave nod.
And then he saw it. The unmistakable, heroic flapping of his bandanadito-in-arms. Big Bee's face split into a grin as Orion came pelting up the garden path. His bro was heading straight for the Greenhouse, but he stopped to pass on some vital intel. "Jam is being a naughty lil fu-" The rest of Orion's warning was drowned out by a roar from the monster, and Bee barely had time to thank him before they had parted again, just a pair of #badass ships passing in the night while wearing totally sick raid bandanas.
Unfortunately, Orion hadn't really given him any directions, but the bond between bros, their Pokemon, their bro's Pokemon, and their bro's Pokemon's Corrupted Brokemon, was stronger than most forms of modern encryption. He and Orion might as well have been telepathic.
Big Bee knew exactly where to go.
But on his way to the Doll Room he felt a savage, magmatic heat emanating from the Training Room.
He entered the room at precisely the wrong moment. Achilles was throwing down with Jam and Finnegan Fjord's corrupted Croconaw, and as Big Bee shielded his face from the cruel luminance of an uncontrolled eruption, a 1000 KG dumbbell came hurtling across the room and hit Big Bee in the stomach.
He folded like a lawnchair in a hurricane as the impact of the weight sent him crashing back along the hallway. Inertia carried him a solid thirty feet, straight through an ornate side table, a display case of regional pin cushions, and at least a foot of drywall. He coughed up clouds of white bullshit, struggling to sit up under the immense weight of the dumbbell. "This thing must weight over three and a half tons!" he gasped "What the hell is it made of, gold?"
He managed to wriggle out from underneath the weight, and looked up into the hungry maw of Croconaw. The beast looked like it had just crawled out of an Exxon/Valdez oil spill, and it dripped horrid black ooze all over the priceless ornaments that Big Bee had just destroyed.
"Oh. Well, shit," Big Bee panted. "Little help?" He looked around for his Pokemon, but they were all the way down the other end of the hall, trying to contend with Space Jam 1996.
Croconaw advanced, and Big Bee lashed out with his booted foot, not aiming for the Pokemon's legs but the space between. There was a BANG! as his heel slammed down on the packet of Nidortos that had been delicately placed on the pressure plate built into the floor. The reset hammer traps from the aptly named Hall of Hammers swung down from the ceiling and crashed into Croconaw, knocking him backwards! He stumbled, finally finding his footing on a pair of Hot Wheels, which sent him rolling right into the path of a swinging paint can. CLANG!
Big Bee watched, wincing as the poor Pokemon got electrocuted, sprayed in the eyes with perfume, stepped on a whoopee-cushion, and finally hit with another, larger hammer, which sent him tumbling back into the ongoing fight in the training room.
Big Bee picked up the busted bag of Nidoritos and put one in his mouth, trying to ignore the flashing UI warnings and the immense pain coursing through his body. "All according to plan."
