Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Galactics satisfactorily neutralized, Sierra allowed herself to relax a bit. Marle had done her part in helping take down the first Galactic, and the rest and their Pokemon had been taken care of with minimal damage done. She smiled down at Aki, reaching down to scratch the Vaporeon's head briefly. "I appreciate the added guard," she joked, then turning her eyes outward again. "Looks like it's time to get moving again. You both ready?"

Marle nodded eagerly, bounding back over and up Sierra's outstretched arm to perch on her shoulder. She got a brief ear scratch as well, then the Rocket squared her shoulders and headed off after the others.

The facility was huge, an imposing monument amongst the scenery. Sierra caught herself gaping at the structure, and shook her head, continuing to walk. The thought of imagining such a thing, let alone building it, was purely mind-boggling. What sort of person came up with something like this? And the plan associated with it? The very thought should be absurd, but after some of the stories she'd heard back at Rocket HQ, she wasn't so sure anymore.

Deimos was the last of the Galactics to look up from what he was doing. It was actually the fact the others had stopped working that caught his attention rather than the sound of the doors opening. When he was focused it took a lot to distract the Galactic Boss. The comment Tethys muttered into her communicator didn't even register with him. "What're you doing guys the pressure's not..." He saw that they were all looking at the doors and leaned over to see. "..why's there a team here?"

"Because they're not our team, sir. That's Team Rocket." Tethys' response was clipped and short; she strode forward purposefully, enlarging two Pokeballs and releasing their occupants as she went - one the familiar shape of a Starmie, the other a six-winged moth with eyes like jewels.

"Fiery Dance! Keep them away from the computer!" Her voice rang out against the concrete. Body bursting into flame, the Volcarona flapped its wings and rose, leaving a trail of glittering sparks on its way to cut off the catwalk to the center with its burning body; the Starmie's center gem pulsed and sent a Psychic wave at the Rockets.

Not one to leave things to others, Tethys drew a gun in a graceful movement and fired at the head of the group - Kunai.

Leaning with arms crossed, on the banister of a catwalk located directly above the arriving Rockets, stood Orion. The man blinked in surprise as a fleet of unknown Galactics came rushing in. He'd been too far away to hear the conversation between Tethys' and Star, but it quickly sunk in, especially at Tethys' words to Deimos.

The green haired man quickly straightened up, and with one hand on the rail, heaved himself over the edge and dropped to land with a clang on the grates below, between the Rockets and other Galactics. Although he did make sure to steer clear of Tethys' aim. "Well well, party crashers!" He lifted a finger and wagged it scoldingly. "I'm afraid you guys're not invited."

With that, he too whipped out a couple of pokeballs and tossed them in the air. What appeared was a very large Dragonite and a Lucario. "Get ready guys," Orion told his Pokemon. The Lucario took a stance and closed his eyes, preparing itself through meditation with a Calm Mind. While the Dragonite started dancing in a circle, Dragon Dance.

It seemed as if someone had heard about their short visit to the Galactic Headquarters. Apparently the one that went by Tethys saw right past all of the disguises and was already on the offensive, calling out two of her Pokemon. Not being the sort to waste time before chaos emerged, the Elite gave her orders.

"The Objective right now is to go for the main computer. The Machine is too large for us to manually run about and break the Pokemon out individually. Using the main controls to do it all at one time will be much more efficient. Right now, we need to keep close. If we spread out too much, we will lose any advantages we might have had when we were clustered..."

It was at this point that a gun had been shot off. Kunai's eyes had not abandoned Tethys as she gave her directions to the Rockets. The gun had been aimed at herself. The only advantage she had at the moment was the fact there was a decent amount of distance between the two. The pink haired girl dodged slightly to avoid the shot. Kunai was fast, but in the end, the bullet was just a bit faster. She could feel it pierce her in the shoulder, which forced her body back slightly. However, she remained on her feet, lurching forward ever so slightly to accommodate the pain.

"...together," she said to finish her previous statement. "Your opponents are formidable. Now is not the time to be a hero. Now is the time to overwhelm them with brute force. Do not underestimate your opponents." With that, she enlarged her own masterball and released the Pokemon inside.

The large Pokemon appeared just a bit ahead of its trainer, its green tail swaying slightly to the side. The Elite didn't have to say anything, for the Pokemon could simply tell what she wanted. Quite quickly the Mewtwo was surrounded by a blue Barrier.

OOC: Time for some more damage rolls, kids! =O Last time the chance of injury was less severe than usual. This time it's worse than usual. Oh dear.

Roll a D20 in your next post~

20- Uninjured (You Lucky Jerk)
13-19- Minor Injury (Scrapes, Bumps, Bruises)
7-12- Moderate Injury (Deep cuts, Broken Bones)
1-6- Serious Injury (You're in Bad Shape)

Optional Roll Modifier: +3 for Agents and above.

You will have TWO NIGHTS to take this damage. Tonight and tomorrow night. Don't feel the need to rush. The fight seems nasty now.. it's gonna get a lot worse.

Also, I'll remind folks to have a look at this map. Currently the Rockets and Orion are on the straight walkway near the point it intersects with the round one. Deimos and Tethys are on the platform beside the Keldeo. Kunai's ordered you to get to the computer in the center. More Galactics are scattered randomly around the room.

And lastly, remember to bold the names of characters or pokemon you're interacting with.

((Hayes - is Uninjured, And How.))

(Kunai = U R GETTING MESSED UP (not bothering with modifier K THX)
1337 = Moderate Injury (+3 modifier) )

At times, 1337 couldn't help but wonder how human Kunai was. She was just shot, and still trying to make it seem like she was not affected at all.

Of course, many times people wondered how human 1337 was due to that smile of his. In fact, even after his superior had been shot, he was still smiling. Since the two galactics had two Pokemon out each, 1337 figured today's theme was the POWER of TWO. He tossed out two Pokeballs quite casually.

Two Virtual Pokemon, one pink and one blue, wobbled in place, calling out a chorus of "GON GON GON GON!"

"Oh Em Gee, use Lock-on on the Starmie. Double-you Tee Eff, use Shadow Ball on the Volcarona." With his orders to the Pokemon units he had customized, the hacker then began to work on approaching the true fun to be had. Where there were main controls, there was fun to be had.

The two Pokemon loomed in place for a moment, as if processing the data around them before they shot forward towards the other Pokemon. The pink Porygon-Z kept a bit of distance as it attempted to fix in on the position of the Starmie. The blue Porygon-Z did not seem nearly as cautious, but that was all in the programming it had. It just zoomed in as close as it possibly could to the Volcarona before shooting a dark blob of shadows towards its opponent.

((Rollin' rollin' rollin'~ o3o))

Kunai was right. They had to act fast! He was, however, glad that some of his pokemon were out already. "Icy wind. Ice beam." Uta, the chimecho, was reluctant to oblige. A sharp stare from his trainer was all it took to make him behave otherwise. Aiming at the Dragonite, Uta gave his all for an icy wind attack. Aki, who had taken station beside Sierra bristled at the dragon. At least he knew what to expect. He'd faced one of these things before. With the command, he braced himself and shot off an ice beam, aimed at the dancing dragon.

The fire from the bug behind them was going to be... annoying. First thing's first. Get rid of these 2.

((Sierra))

Getting into the Machine wasn't that difficult, she stuck with the group, acting normal, no need to draw unwanted attention to themselves.
She payed attention to the surroundings though, admittedly eager to get a close look at just what kind of machine this was.
She could hear it already, it sounded beautiful.

Glancing over to the side when she heard a light noise coming from one of the Rockets in the group, tilting her head as Izaya moved over to one of the other Grunts, and made a noise to her, as if to startle her, though the time he seemed to use wasn't at all frightening.

She watched, the one named Sierra for a moment, not knowing much about her Faleen would admit.

They reached the last door, and still the Agent remained quiet, just slowly observing, eyes drifting down the seams of the door as it split open, and reviled what they had all been looking for.

Unfortionatly, it already reviled a lot more Galactics, and the ones close enough to see the Rocket Group... were staring.
This was not keeping a low profile, and Faleen suspected, with a slight nervous clenching in her gut as she recognized the three off at one of the platforms, that they were no longer going to be able to keep the rouse up as Galactics.

She left something cold, breeze through the hair in her ponytail, recognizing it as Banette who was no doubt drifting around her head as there was a second the two groups look at each other.

The Blue haired women, Tehtys, She knew, and she didn't waist time in announcing this, nor pulling something out that made a louse noise.
Faleen's eyes widened as she took a jerking step back, Kunai jerks in response, cleanly the one to get hit by Tethys' weapon.

She was concerned, but orders had been give, they needed to get to the computer. this was their mission.
Stick together, and do this as a team!

Faleen reached to her belt, grabbing her first ball from her best, and tossing the Dark Ball, calling forth her Charizard.
At this She joined in Mau's attack, prompting her Charizard to join the attack on the pokemon that had been attacked first.
"Bursting Flame, Shadow Ball!"
Charizard roared, opening his mouth to hurl a ball of fire at the (Bursting Flame) Dragonite, when the attack hit, it exploded, throwing flames on the pokemon flanking it.

Benette reappeared, and joined the attack on the Dragonite with a Shadow ball.
