[@SephietheEvil][@Snarfulblast] [color=fff200]As Spookton retreats, Vanitas breathes a sigh of relief. Checking over his shoulders to be sure that the coast was clear, he pulls out a bulging, brown pouch from out of his sleeve. He picks up a nearby silver food tray from the floor, placing the pouch upon it before opening it up, revealing a bunch of Sitrus Berries and a cup for water. Once that is set up, the hooded boy pulls out a flask from within his coat, pops it open, and pours Tatakumei a cold glass of water. He then pushes the tray into the cell via slot meant for such things within the cell door. "Here. This meal should help with your wounds. I understand that I've given you no reason to trust me, but, just know that I'm not going to go and let a youngling like you starve...Don't give into despair just yet, Tatakumei. There is still hope for you yet.." With that being said, the intercom comes to life in a short burst of static before the voice of Montainum reaches Vanitas' ears. He heads over to a nearby post and pushes the button to send a private response to their leader."Understood, I'll be up there shortly. I do not want anyone interfering nor spectating my interrogation process. I need to gain the Celebi's trust, do I not? If the party catches wind of there being someone listening in on our conversation, then I'll lose ground...you understand my point, no?" He inquires. Before he can give the Terrakion a chance to respond, he releases his grip on the button, the intercom going silent. The hooded boy extends his hand towards the bars of Tatakumei’s cage, a red and black sigil flaring up in the air near it. This sign may puzzle the Riolu, for unless her mother shared with her all sorts of ancient tales, the Pokemon this symbol resembles may be unknown to her. Regardless, the eerie pulse it emits fractures and shatters Violetta’s seal before Tatakumei’s very eyes. Then, with that ward having been lifted, the bars begin to distort, leaving a very large gap within its wake. As if things hadn’t been crazy enough, as Vanitas departs to regroup with the others in Montainum’s office, a Corridor of Darkness opens within the room in front of the Riolu’s cell. Heat exits from it, smirking down at Tatakumei.[/color] [color=ed1c24]“I’m glad to see that you’ve saved me a bite of food.” The tall land-shark remarks before picking up the last Sitrus Berry and slicing it in half, downing his portion in one fell swoop. “Hurry and wrap up your meal. Our exit won’t be open for much longer. Oh, and do take care not to leave my side until we’ve arrived where we need to be. The last thing we need is Aruba going on a rampage..” With that being said, the Garchomp begins heading back into the Corridor of Darkness, the pathway beckoning Tatakumei to follow after him, for as soon as she did, it would close swiftly, leaving no one else any time to follow after them. The duo will exit out into the tree-infested home of the Scattered, not too far away from the current group residing there. Heat now simply sits there and waits, awaiting the hell that may be unleashed upon them for what has just transpired.[/color] [color=39b54a]Leaving a stabilized Serph under the care of Sera and some Miltanks, Ventus joins the other trainers, not bothering putting his hood back on considering he no longer has to remain a veiled face to these people. “Alright, I’m all ears. What is it that you want to know?” He inquires, feeling that was about time that he began answering questions. His comrades needed to know a few necessary truths anyhow.
