[color=yellow]Vanitas doesn’t even bother moving, for before anyone knows it, a large Pokémon surrounded by a visibly dark aura appears from the Corridor, utilizing Aerial Ace to knock the Shadow Ball away from him and then quickly turning to Brick Break Carl right in the stomach, the force of the attack sending him flying a rather large distance. Then, to take further defensive measures, it turns around again and uses Roar, sending most of the opposing forces flying back, now out of range of any possible attacks. However, despite his unknown ally’s almost perfect timing, the Hypnosis still hits the mark on Aruba. Fortunately for her, the hooded boy was close enough to catch her before she fully fell. “Nice timing, Heat..” The boy states, smirking underneath his hood as the dark aura dissolves, revealing a still menacing looking Garchomp, who smirks.[/color][color=red]“Sorry for the wait. I had to teach some new Revolutioneers some discipline. That’s a story for later. Now, get Aruba to safety.” He replies, glancing over at the Lucario. Heat had grown to like and respect Aruba, but given her current condition, he knew she wouldn’t stand a chance against these group of Trained.[/color]
[color=yellow]“Heat...I trust that you can take care of them. I will return with Aruba. Try to leave them in one piece..” Vanitas says, knowing how prideful his partner is of his strength.[/color] [color=red]“Heh, no promises...don’t worry. I’ll give them a good thrashing...hurry up and get going!” He responds as he rushes after those that he only recently knocked back, fired up to be able to display his strength like this.[/color] [color=yellow]“Now then...I think it’s about time we report back..” With that being said, he wastes no time heading back through the Corridor, it closing behind him. 
The Corridor reappears in Montainum’s personal office, closing once again as Vanitas enters the room, with both Ai-yu and Aruba intact. “Greetings, Montainum, Darkclaw. I went ahead and brought these two back for you. Just thought I’d report in before seeing if the doctor was in..” He explains, chuckling to himself as he thought just how ecstatic Mismagius would be to treat these the wounds of these two.[/color] 
[color=lightblue]Serph and Sera, who were too late to do anything about Vanitas, instead find themselves facing an even greater threat in the form of an old time friend.[/color] [color=red]“Well, well...I was wondering who I was sensing nearby. If you two are here, then that means Ventus is close by…” Heat says, already getting into a fighting stance.[/color] [color=lightblue]“Heat, please...we’re comrades! It doesn’t have to be this way..” Sera responds, trying to convince him that fighting isn’t the answer.[/color] [color=red]“I’ve made my choice!” Heat snaps at her, now enraged. “This time, we’re not playing any games..got it, Serph?” He taunts.[/color] [color=lightblue]Serph, who hasn’t spoken a word this entire time, gazes angrily at the Garchomp as he too gets into a fighting stance. “Let’s get this over with, already...Sera, make sure no one interferes..” He commands. Sera sheds a single tear before utilizing a combination of Reflect and Light Screen to make a barrier around the two of them, now simply standing by as a spectator as her old comrades start off the fight with a Swords Dance; Serph chaining it into an Ice Punch and Heat into a Brick Break.[/color]
[color=aqua]Aqua giggles at the pair’s bickering before beginning to lead the way to her human friend, walking at a pace fast enough for the others to keep up with. When they arrive, she leaps toward the hooded boy, who catches her with ease. “I hope you enjoyed that music, Aqua...now, care to introduce me to your new friends?” He inquires, looking over at the trio that stands before him. “This is Rythian, Mystarii, and Electricia. Everyone, this is Ventus.” She introduces her friend cheerily, excited over the idea of all of them being friends.[/color]
