• A reminder: If you want to ask an RP thread creator if you can join their RP, do so in private - via conversation or profile messages - or via the thread's discussion thread, if one exists. Do NOT ask if you can join an RP on the RP thread itself! This leads to a lot of unnecessary OOC chatter and that's not what the RP boards are for.

    This is clearly stated in our RP forum rules. If you've not read them yet, do so BEFORE posting anything in the RP forums. They may be found here (for Pokémon Role Play) or here (for General Role Play). Remember that the Global Rules of Pokécharms also apply in addition to these rule sets.

Lyric watched them and shook her head with a sigh. She patted Zack on the head before picking him up and walking toward the couch and putting him down.
Miridia kept a close eye out, looking for survivors from the attacks. She held up her bubble of silence, streams of primal magic swirling around her fists.
 
"Friend." James scoffed. "Were not friends bear. Hell I barley know you not to mention the fact that Joshua only had one conversation with you. He lifted Boris up via telepathy and threw him into the portal. He let out a breath. " goodbye Miridia." He said before exiting the warehouse.

Julian laid on the grass as his life drained from his eyes.
 
"Whoa! This is a building! No explosions, for God's sake." Roku conjured a ball of fire that contained and dissipated the sphere. He extinguished the flaming orb and sat down. "Come on, man."

Akron whistled, impressed. He took a seat next to Lyric and ruffled Zack's hair.
 
Faela watched panickedly before pressing her hands against his wound. She looked around and called out for help before back down at him, "can't you heal yourself"!
Miridia saw one of the dog creatures. She raised her fists and thrusted her right one forward, primal energy shooting out in a ball toward the creature.
Lyric smiled at akron and Zack batted his hand away.
 
Dasken grinned. "You obviously trained those powers. So... did you train with anyone? If so, who?" Dasken took a couple of steps towards Roku. "I hope you've trained. We might just have a war on our hands."
 
Roku nodded. "I've had these powers for like what, 12 years now? I actually have control over my powers, not the other way around." He shrugged. "Sometimes, though, I just let loose, go berserk, you know? Helps with a lot of fights, especially a war."

Akron smiled sadly. "Sorry Lyric didn't let you learn to fight. I wish I could promise to teach you, but let's go one at a time. How about that piggy-back ride I owe you?"
 
"Yeah," Zack jumped off the couch and bounced up and down. He grinned and looked at the two older humans. Lyric laughed and shook her head before kissing Akron's head and walking toward the kitchen. She stopped when she heard a distressed call and raced toward Julian and Faela.
Miridia stared at the creature, studying it carefully.
 
Akron hoisted Zack onto his shoulders and exited the house. "Hang on!" Akron jumped once, and once he landed, a smooth stone column emerged out of the ground and pushed Akron, propelling him and his son into the air. He summoned more pillars to jump and push off of, carrying himself up higher than ever before. Akron called behind his shoulder, "You okay back there, buddy?"
 
Dasken smiled. "Well, then. How about going all out with me, then? I may even go a bit berserk myself." Dasken smiled, awaiting everyone's responses.

Drakkon landed in a desert wasteland, far from any kind of civilization. He drille dinto the ground, using his powers, and made himself as inconspicuous as possible. It took a solid 10 minutes, but he finally reached a platform made of titanium and aluminum. He knocked on it by stomping his foot three times, and the door opened. The door closed as Drakkon fell into the base, the door closed again, and Drakkon heard the sand and dirt fall back into place. He walked down several flights of stairs, and he came across a short, stocky man with blonde hair and seemingly bleached skin.
"I know what you have come for." The short man said.
"Very well. Give it to me."
The short, stocky man jerked a little bit, twitching his arms and hiding something behind his back. "I...It's not even close to being done. It could wreck you..."
"So?" Drakkon replied casually. The man simply stared. "You are a reckless bastard, Drakkon. Y...you know that?"
"Been called worse. And now, if I may..." Drakkon launched an explosive sphere at the man, and with one blood-curtling scream, the man evaporated, leaving only an automatically-injecting syringe. Drakkon smiled. "Well, well. Looks like Middie isn't the only one who knows people with bio-weapons."
Drakkon picked up the syringe, injected himself, and waited. He didn't have to wait long. Out of the earth blasted a massive figure, roaring an inhuman scream, and laughing that sounded like two mountains being rubbed together.
"Here I come, Dasken!" He bellowed, launching at intensely high speeds towards the portal.
 
"Yep," he smiled and giggled. He looked around excitedly, watching as the world below shrunk inside. He laughed happily and smiled, looking as far as he could see.
Lyric made it to Julian and Faela. She pressed down on the wound and ripped a piece of her shirt off. She wrapped it around the pains and tried to stop the bleeding.
 
Akron leaped a few more times, then started to head back, tired from using his powers so excessively. "Phew. Well, Dad's getting tired so we'll land somewhere nearby and wait a little while so I can rest. And maybe," A playful grin stretched across his face. "I can teach you some fighting moves."

Roku nodded. "Sure. I've always needed a way to use my powers for an actual cause, not just heating food, or lighting campfires. I want to fight for the world in which I live." He shook Dasken's hand. "Let's go berserk."
 
Zack gave him almost an almost exact copy of his grin back. He hugged him tightly and laughed, "yeah! I wanna kick some butt"!
He looked around and nodded, watching their decent to the ground. He was ready to try and learn, willing to do anything to help protect his little sister and parents.
 
Vex stood there thinking for a moment. "Well, nice to meet you Roku, but ive gotta go." He said with a smile before shooting out the door at super speed, heading in Akrons direction. "I think he went this way...."
 
Boris landed out of the portal and quickly got up. He sent a telepathic wave into James's head. "Friend James, stop being depressed! Remember what you said to Dask, I not there when it happened but I read memories. Why not follow own words and come back!" Boris shouted in his mind.
 
James stopped. " I try and I fail every fucking time." He said telepathically. " Besides there's nothing for me there anyways. I already fucked up the timeline once. Hell I bet Miridia only agreed to go on a date out of pity." He said. Instead of walking way he stood by the portal. Part of him wanted this bear to convince him to go through.
 
Vex finally reached the site Akron and Zak were. "Hey Akron, your gonna train Zak right?" He walked up to Akron and spoke quietly, "has he shown his powers yet?*
 
Miridia lept through a portal and closed it behind her. She stumbled a bit but caught herself, walking with a stiff back and hiding her hurting ribs. She ran over to Juliana and the other two women around him, spilling a healing spell into him.
 
Julian breathed. He felt a warm feeling around his body. He looked at Miridia. "thank you." He said. He then looked at Faela. He kissed her passionately. " So how about that drink?" He said.
 
"I have half the mind to kill you right now and you ask about a drink," Faela snapped and growled darky at him as her tail lashed about angrily. She slapped him before standing up and marching away. Miridia laughed and patted Julia's shoulder, "you had to charm a dragon".
 
"Any way of helping me court her?" He asked Miridia. As he stood up. " Anyways I need to count our dead and fortify this place last thing we need is for that abomination to get here and kill all of us."
 
Boris turned back into his bear form and jumped through the portal. "You can't hide true emotions from me! You want come back but you worried of what YOU think! Stop only thinking about yourself and think what others think! You selfish jerk!" Boris said with mean look then shouted with his real voice a commanding roar.
 
"I can help with fortifying this place. We are actually in a pretty stragic place. Backed by mountains and the forest toward the south actually slopes. Water and food, supplies," Miridia hummed as she looked around. She then raised an eyebrow and looked at him, laughing gently, "I can help you court her but I'm telling you know it's not going to be easy".
 
" What other's think." James said. He poked the bear as he looked into it's eyes. " Lyric is happy, My brother isn't a serial killer anymore." He said. " Probably fro a different reason then just knocking Grace up in this timeline." He said. " And what about others. " Hey guys let's come up with a plan. " Nope let's go head first against an unknown threat." He said. " And look what happened to them. The best this timeline had was me not being in it." He said
 
Zack looked at vex and tilted his head, wondering how the knew man was. He hugged Akron and looked up at him before sticking his hand out toward vex, "yeah. I'm Zack, who are you sir"?
Miridia sat back and summed some paper, studying the area for defenses.
 
Casys walked over to Miridia, noticing that she was studying the grounds. "Have you heard about the new arrival?" Casys asked her, nodding to the new guy. "Roku I think was his name."
 
Akron chuckled. "This is Vex, a friend of mine and Lyric's." He leaned in and whispered softly. "I'm not sure if he has any. Lyric actually adopted and took him in. He might just be a human. But, that doesn't mean he can't help." Akron turned to face Zack. "Alright, Zack. Both of us are gonna teach you some fighting moves, but we're probably gonna have different styles. We'll show you ours and you can choose which one you're more favored to."

Roku looked around until his gaze rested on Lyric and the ring on her finger. "Congrats. I take it the guy sitting next to you was the one who proposed?"
 
Vex looked down at Zack, "Hi big man, im Victor, nice to meet you!" he gave a smile as there was a small white glow from between there hands. "Lets see....huh, that's weird." Vex stared at his hands realizing the he couldnt mimic the boy. "I dont think he has any powers." He stood for a moment and thought before taking his blade out and kneeling down. "Ya know, even without powers I bet you could be a powerful swordsman. How about your Dad teaches you to fight bare handed and Ill teach you how to use a sword, sound good?"
 
"Awesome," Zack grinned at both of them. He was still bouncing up and down and looked between the two older people, happy to start.

Lyric shook her head and sat back. She looked at Miridia and then back at the new man, "no I'm engaged to akron".

Miridia nodded and flooded her arms over her chest. She was thinking and turned to look at Casys, "I didn't even know he was here. I was busy trying to rescue soldiers from creepy mutated things".
 
Boris glared at James and sighed. "I know they dumb and never plan, but that why we need you. And what about miss Miridia? She going be sad if you leave without telling." He looked down. "I not want to see miss Miridia sad."
 
Akron grinned. Even without powers, Zack had tons of potential. "Alright then, Zack," He said, ruffling the kid's hair. "What do you want to start with?"

Roku nodded. "Him? I don't know him very well, but he seems like a great person, the way he treats the little guy. You're a very lucky woman." He smiled and held out his hand. "Roku Hiroto. What's your name?"
 
"Well I suggest he starts with hand to hand combat so it'll be easier to learn with a sword. Also ive got some training I wanna do for a bit." He walked for awhile to make some room for himself. He ended up in a large clearing in the forest. He sat down and set there for a moment before his eyes began to glow orange.
 
"Lyric Mays," she nodded and smiled at him. She dusted her hands off and shook his hand, looking around to see where everyone was.
"Hand to hand," Zack beamed and started to run around in a circle around his father. He stopped and looked at him, "come on! Let's go already before mom finds out"!
 
James looked at Boris and tried to say something but he knew he couldn't instead he nodded. "Come on bear let's go back." He said before walking through the portal. He stopped when he saw the carnage around him. "What the hell happened?" He asked.
 
"Creepy mutated things?" Casys echoed, intrigued. "What do you mean?" He asked Mirida. If I have to fight another something without having a nap then I'm gonna lose it, Casys thought.
 
"I managed to close this world off and none got through. Don't worry about that," Miridia sighed and looked at him with a tired look in her eyes. She stretched and pulled mana to her, trying to recharge. She turned toward where the injured had been taken and furrowed her brows,
"They shouldn't be fighting for us. They weren't ever supposed to be brought into this".
 
Dasken paused. "Everyone. Stop talking." He froze in place, straining his powers. His eyes widened. His heartbeat rapidly increased, and he immediately began to sweat bullets. "No way. No way, no way, I lost him. I lost him, and he's what no he can't be what..." Dasken's words slurred, and his aura popped and fizzed nervously.
 
Akron smiled and nodded. He summoned a large rock dummy out of the ground. "Okay, then let's start. Zack, spread your legs to where they're shoulder width apart. Now, punch, but bend your arms when you snap." He demonstrated.
 
Zack nodded and did as his dad showed him. His form was still sloppy but he continued to try and punch at the air.
Miridia looked at dasken and sighed, wishing the way the world at the moment. She looked at him and formed a soothing aura to combat his, "calm yourself".
 
"I...I...I can't.... he's close maybe here, he'll break it no he'll hurt everyone no he'll be worse stop him we have to..." Dasken began heaving. He had trouble breathing.
