"As if I would let anyone hurt you," Andy said. "No, Varina, legendary Pokémon or not, they will have to go through me before they can get to you." He tapped the keystone as he looked around. "Would you like to go to Arceus to explain has happened? I think the big guy should hear about it first, if you agree."

Michael examined Hyia. Purple, younger sibling of Mew and Mewtwo. Mewthree? Had Arceus made a new one? "If you don't mind," Michael began politely with his eyes on Hyia. "What Pokémon are you? I understand you are related to Mew and Mewtwo."
From what he had seen, her being here had surprised Niccia and Gavin, so they probably hadn't known a third had been added to the Mew-line.

"Oh, right," Mindy said, followed by a "oh wow. That is amazing. Is that how Michael hears it. Like, I don't hear you in my language, but I still understand you. That is amazing."
"See it as being bilangual," Penalopy chimed. "I am too~"

Several others were coming through the gate now, Tanter recognized the Sword of Justice, who seemed to chat amonst each other as they entered the grounds of Star Fall. They were followed by Gathaar and Handeer; he glanced to Yalgai to see if she had noticed them too.
He joined Hyachu and listened to Seth's introduction.
"That sounds like Dausiin," he stated. "I'm Tanter. And if you wish to socialize with your own kind, we have Michael over there, that one is Andy and over there is Mindy. They are the other human guests we have today."

The insane asylum

Benjamin didn't reply immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes for a moment and took in a deep breath. "I'm not looking forward to my first evaluation," he eventually said. "I haven't taken any medication since I got here, because I'm convinced I don't need it, but I will never be able to leave unless I start taking my medication. And I haven't been able to get outside since I got here, which is frustrating. I don't deal well with being inside all the time." He glanced around, making a hopeless gesture with his arms. "This place is like a prison."

Revival of the Dragon Riders

Trevor grinned as Gnol talked to him and he nodded. "When we get to the fortress I'll make sure they swap his horse with something better," he promised.
With Duncan going after his scared horse and Gnol followed Duncan to aid him, Trevor enticed his horse to go a bit faster so he could ride alongside Noble. Keeping the new king safe was their first priority and while Duncan had taken that job, he was occupied now.

"They will catch up," he told Noble. "We won't stop and wait for them."

Linda almost squealed. "Aren't you adorable~" she said. "Young dragons are just the best!" she flew to Meria and the small blue dragon she was holding.
"And what about you?"
"We're going to try and find mommy," the young water dragon replied.
"And I'll stay with you until we do," Linda promised, before turning to Meria. "I hatched two sets of offspring already, and they all made it to full-size adults."

Not that full-sized adult fairy dragons were anywhere near impressive, but Meria smiled and nodded. "In that case I would very much appreciate your assistance with the little one," she said.
"The next meadow is good," she then said to Rai."

Fiona spread her wings and soared down to the treeline, flying just above the leaves. Once she noticed an opening she pulled her wings closer and dove underneath the canopy. The forest here was made for dragons; the trees were big and had wide canopies, leaving plenty of room between them for dragons to fly, although there were still a lot of sideway manoeuvres to be made.

Nobody Will Believe It [SporkoBug and Calle]

Benjamin listened to Ari and glanced over his shoulder before replying. "You should ask Dia what she did, but from what I noticed: you were most tangible when you didn't pay attention to it and you were relaxed. Maybe it will happen, but it will definitely feel like it takes a long time if you actively try to get there. Or it might frustrate you that you can't make it happen."

A nurse joined Ray and quickly did some last checks: temperature, Oxygen saturation, heart rate. When everything seemed to be within normal range she nodded. "The doctor ordered us to release you if you were psychically better again." She smiled and gestured to the door. "You can go to your room to wash up, change your clothes, and then it's time for breakfast."

How bad is it?" Mike asked. There was nothing good about the way Duncan was reacting, and adding that to how Harriet had looked it didn't bode well. It didn't seem like a matter whether the situation was bad or not anymore, but how bad the situation was.

Mitch listened to Lydral gave and what the two siblings were saying to each other. Half of what he heard was information he could't place - what the hell were 'Nurics' anyway? - but he had heard enough to assess their strenghts. At the end of it he turned to Benjamin. "You would just get in their way. Let them handle it; you are out of your league."

While Benjamin wanted to protest, he knew Mitch was telling the truth, so he nodded. There was nothing he could contribute in this mission and it was best to let people who could handle it do it.

"I can go in your place if you don't trust them to have the right priorities," Mitch continued, pleased to see Benjamin was smart about it. "I can use the challenge; none of the jobs from my agency have been particular challenging and I'm getting bored." He turned to Lydral. "When will that new gun be ready." A gun eating organic matter was an interesting concept. Probably the most interesting thing he had heard all day.

"Wait," Benjamin said. "You're not going to kill people, are you?"

"If you want your girlfriend back, people will die. That is the trade-off," Mitch stated coldly.

The assistant supported Rose as she started to walk away with her. "4C will be your new room," she said. "Dr Waters has given the order to prepare it for you. I'm sure you'll find it to your liking."
She made her way to an elevator with two guards following them, so they could get to the fourth floor.

As the assistant left, Lily turned to Steph. "This way dear, we're taking the elevator on the other side. 4P is the number of your room and I decorated it myself. I hope you will like it. Rose and Gaia will stay on the fourth floor too, so you will be close to your friends."
She started going towards the elevator and two gaurds walked behind them. "What kind of food do you like? I will instruct the kitchen to make something special for you."

Agents walked towards Daz with guns pointed at him. "Sir? What is your name, sir?" They asked. Others kept an eye on the sky to be ready from any threats from the sky.

"It's a good team," Andy said. "I know Bear and Merlin bicker sometimes, but all in all, a very good team." He looked around to see where his newest addition to the team was. Soul had carried her last time he had seen her. He noticed the keystone in the grass; Varina was probably nervous about getting out considering who she had guarded before. "Excuse me," he said to Frosiien as he unhooked and went to take the keystone.
"Varina?" he said gently. "Would you like to come out and meet everyone?"

"Frosiien isn't Andy's first," Benny said. "But... it is the first time he goes with a legendary Pokémon, so in a way this is very new. And I don't think he is as confident about it as he shows."

"Of course," Michael said as he shook Lecrero's hand. Shaking hands with Arceus... one thing he never thought would ever happen. He was at a loss of what he should say or do now, he hoped either Lecrero or Niccia would ask something or say something. This, being in the presence of so many powerful being, was not easy. Even though they all looked human, he knew they weren't.

Anthony looked up at the taller bird. "I know how to Peck, Tackle and do a Quick Attack," he said. "That's it. You must know a lot more moves. Is it true our species can attack with fire too?" He had heard about it, but he hadn't seen it yet. It could have been his brother telling a tall tale of course; his brother had claimed a lot of things and not all of them had been true.

That was definitely weird. Mindy blinked a few times; being kissed by a Pokémon was super weird, but it was a small gesture of appreciation, she supposed. What did she mean by helpful though?
"So..." she began. "What is going to happen at Star Fall? Is it like an informal get-together for the entire family, with a buffet? Or is there a more serious part to it also?"

Hyachu looked at the male carrying Dausiin, until Yalgai mentioned she couldn't get a read on him. "Okay Dausiin, who did you bring this time?" Hyachu grumbled. Another human. He supposed Pokémon and humans did live together, so paths crossed and occasionally strong bonds were formed.

"I suppose we'll wait then," Tater said. "Thanks Nygari." He started walking around when he noticed Dausiin had arrived, with a human companion. He wandered in that direction; there was little else to do and he met with his siblings often enough.

The insane asylum

"That does sound like a book they would put on their forbidden list," Benjamin commented with a chuckle. "It's not a theme I usually read, but I'm willing to give it a try. I'd like to read something well-written instead of this garbage." He showed the book about the dancer he was reading. "I like to read drama's, but better-written ones. This could have been a good story if it was written by someone else." He checked the back cover. "But this person is a journalist for a few good newspapers and it probably got published because of that. It just shows that fiction and journalism are two very different things and I'm sure there are people who are good at both, but that isn't true for everyone."

He glanced at a nurse that walked to another patient, talk with her for a moment and then the two of them left. Therapy probably. Or the weekly overview of their progress. He still needed to get his first; he was in his first week here and already hated the place. This didn't bode well.

"If she shows she is dangerous," Mike said, "if it can be proven she was dangerous to humans, the agency will have a valid reason to go after her. They are there to protect humans against dangers humans can't protect themselves against. We saw her before going through that gate; she looked nothing like her old self. If they..." Mike paused as he thought about it. "What if this wasn't about Steph and Gaia? What if the plan that was set in motion is to push Harriet in becoming a danger to the agency, so they have a reason to take her down?"

"We haven't planned a whole lot yet," Benjamin said. "We just had the idea to break into a high-security facility to free some people."

Mitch made a derogatory sound. "As if you could pull that off," he said, glaring at Benjamin. "If this Gaia is as strong as you guys told me, she'll have more chances of breaking out by herself than you have of breaking in. And Steph is probably also more capable of saving herself. She is a fucking Succubus with wings. All she needs to do is bide her time, charm a man or lesbian, whatever she prefers. And if they will only let straight women guard her, she's still stronger than you'll ever be. All they need is a bit of patience, waiting for the right time, and they are out. Going into that building is a foolish idea." He turned to Dante and Lydral. "Unless either of you has some special abilities that could come in useful. Now would be a perfect moment to share, or this plan of storming the high-security facility will end here and now."

"Oh honey," Lily said as she walked to Rose's cage. "What would you like to eat? Do you still eat human food, or do I need to bring in some bugs for you? Tell my assistant please, she will bring you whatever you desire and show you to your new room as well." She gestured to a guard to open the cage of Rose.
The guard opened the door and the assistant waited for Rose to join her; she didn't seem overly happy with the appointed task, but she did as she was told without complaint.

Only Gaia's cage remained closed for now.

Lily joined Steph, watching Gaia for a moment with a sly smile. This lovely creature would have to have a little more patience. "You still need to wake up, dear. I will come to get you after I showed Steph where she can stay. You will be able to cocoon as much as you like in your new room."

She turned to Steph, now closer to her than ever before. Within arms reach. The guards around them looked worried, but Lily ignored them and reached out to stroke Steph's horn. "I love your horns," she commented, "they are so beautiful."

The agents that remained outside watched in horror as the figure crawled out and looked like he was about to die, but didn't. In fact, he seemed to heal...
"Careful now," the leader spoke. "We don't shoot unless attacked," he reminded everyone.
He searched the sky; the other that had thrown this one down must be around somewhere too. Where was she?
