Prologue to Ruin
 
Alfred---Sasha
Alfred frowned, his Psychic outlining the faint images on the screen before him. Blind or not, with a powerful enough mental connection, he could ‘see’ just as well as any Pokemon who had eyes. Granted, his ‘sight’ was in black and white for he could still not define color, but the smallest detail never slipped past him which made up for that. The Gardevoir flicked his hand as though turning a page in a book and the screen shifted to another image. He continued this manner of research for quite some time until another presence made him pause and turn to face it.
“What is it, Sasha?”
Standing there, a pale violet-colored Lucario examined the screen with interest. Around her neck a long blue scarf hung, gradually fading into a white shade as he moved over her back. The scarf was fastened to her neck with a small medallion, orange in color with an engraved black fist on the front. The symbol for Fighting Types.
“You’ve been locked up in here for the whole day. I was concerned. What is it you are doing exactly?”
She stated, quick and to the point.
The Psychic redirected his attention to the screen.
“I’ve been scrying for this Weavile. I’m not sure if it’s that virus he has or something else, but I can’t seem to locate him at all. I’ve scanned ever territory multiple times.”
He raised a hand to his face, exasperated. “It's like he doesnt exist or something is blocking my sight."
"Blocking?"
"I know, it's odd. My psychic isnt blocked so easily. It would have to be a stronger Psychic type or a..."
He trailed off, head tilting to the side at a thought.
"Alfred?"
"Reports of nightmares have been coming in. My Psychic powers are obstructed by some unknown force...fifty years. Orion said fifty years when they went back."
"What are you blabbering on about now?"
"...establish contact with the Guild of the Sun. I want to speak with Pluto, not Solaris if you can help it. From what I heard he's having a bit of a mental breakdown."
The Lucario frowned but nodded and turned to leave.
Alfred resumed his staring contest with the screens.
"This doesnt bode well at all..."

 ZoriA lithe, dark figure darted into the room, her leafy ears pricked and alert for signs of danger. She'd been alert and high-strung ever since the nightmare, prepared for just about anything.
As the investigation behind the nightmares was still ongoing, she knew she had to be careful, just in case.
Her tail swished back and forth as she realized that the only thing terribly interesting in the room, other than a Driftblim-shaped-Orion and a psychotic Solaris, was Selena and a rather well-dressed Alfred.
She dipped her head in greeting, moving to stand not far from Selena. "You called?" She asked calmly, the smoke within her Soothe Globe swirling and shimmering.

    Lucinda---&--- Leslie---&--- Spike---&--- LeonLucinda stood nearby the leader of the Guild of Rebirth, looking at Solaris.
Her eyebrow was cocked over those thick sunglasses that hid her eyes.
"Why hasn't he been admitted yet?" She asked Selena.
Leslie was standing protectively by his family, not speaking a word.
Spike was playing with some of his little gadgets, and Leon had just teleported right next to him.
"NYAH! Leon, you p***k! You know I hate that!" The Absol yelped, jumping back.
The Lucario only gave a soft snicker.    Jean-Claude---&--- Maxi---&--- Chance---&--- TommyJean-Claude and Maxi, the usual team, appeared once they heard the alarm.
"Vat' a bummer. I vas' rather enjoying ze' break..." The Toxicroak muttered, exhaling some cigar smoke.
He blinked when he noticed a particular Gardevoir in black was staring at the cigar with quite a nasty look.
The smoking tool was quickly swiped from his hand by Jean-Claude, thrown on the ground, and stamped out.
"Some Pokemon don't take smoking in public very kindly."
Tommy and Chance from team Gravity also arrived.
The Delcatty was humming a little tune.

Team Nikko entered, having been startled a little by the alarm. "So, what do you suppose is wrong now?" asked Yuki as they entered. "Last time it was HeartSwap...""I'm not sure. Who's that?" asked Verity as she saw a strange Gardevoir at the front.

 ~Raven  ~Kewnew ~Wyatt
Raven arrived along with his sister. It was understood that Rin really didn't want to come along for the ride this time considering the hell that ensued the last time the alarm rang so for a moment after arriving he was a little antsy himself but it didn't take long for him to come to the realization that she was probably much safer where she was anyway. Also, thinking about it he truly wasn't alone and even more of an add-on to that point; he hardly had spent any time with his sister and team captain lately.
Kewnew, a team captain herself, also arrived on the scene, accompanied by a new face which bounded in shortly before her with a mighty "Rawr!", or what was at least seen as 'mighty' in the tiny Shinx's eyes. Apparently the Grovyle was just not getting a break when it came to the amount of young recruits that were suddenly appearing on her team via eggs that they had received over time.

  Imiti--- CelsusWith a crack, Imiti, with Celsus in the water backpack, were in the main hall not a second after the bell rang. They looked about, saw the Pokemon showing up in small groups, saw the apparently crazy grey Drifloon floating by, saw a pink tail as Solaris bolted out the door for reasons they probably didn't want to know, saw the Gardevoir there, saw the Umbreon at the bell. He walked up to the Gardevoir and Umbreon. " Hi, I don't think we've met. You're...Alfred, right? And Selena? And who's the Driftloon?" Celsus, meanwhile, was somewhat more direct. " More to the point, why the frick are we here this time?"

   ~ Armand~ Veronica~ Jasper~ Newly evolved and insistent on coming in the place of one of the...normal representatives, Jasper bounded into the room, skidding to a stop as he realized the size of the crowd. In surprise he stopped for a second, memories of his old self hindering him slightly. Shaking his head to dismiss those old thoughts, he turned to look behind him, gesturing fervently with his scythe-hand, "Come on guys hurry up!~" Unnoticed until now, the other two members of Team Lunar Curtain entered the scene. Side by side, Armand and Veronica walked to join their unusually peppy recruit. "Heh, I remember when he was so quiet we would nearly step on him." Armand laughed and Veronica joined in, "Yeah, good times~" She snickered and the two continued their leisurely pace towards the epicenter of the alarm.
Frustrated with his teammates sluggish pace, Jasper sped on ahead, stopping a few feet from where the ex-guildmaster and his party stood. One rather interesting pokemon caught his eye. A gray Drifblim with a rather bubbly attitude. Strangely enough, he found his scythe-like-hand slowly reaching towards the Drifblim...what would happen if... Shaking his head again, Jasper pulled his hands back to himself, figuring that popping a fellow guild-member was a no-no. It sure was tempting though....

   Noelle & Odyssey & DashTwo Pokemon walked into the guild, and Dash clinging to Odyssey's leg, wanting a 'roller coaster ride.' After that nightmare incident, Noelle has been a little quieter, a little nicer, but also a space-case. Odyssey had hoped that bringing Dash along everywhere would liven the girl up again, and she had, but things were pretty quiet. Tiki on the other hand, had huddled up into a corner and turned into ghost type so he could become invisible-like. Either he was in extreme shame, or he was just a baby. "I wanna know what we're doing!" Dash yelled, his voice carrying across the scene. Noelle and Odyssey shrugged in response, truthfully not knowing what was going on. They never knew, this information was kept among the higher-ups and then told to all the guild members at these alarms. But they were only told if the guild or a guild member was potentially in trouble. But that was fine, the three didn't care if they knew things or not, unless it involved them.

Ⱦeam Ðaɍksţaɍ ~✭  XXX XXX XXXXXXX—¤÷(`Nadia & Vincent & Luke ´)÷¤—Three figures teleported into the room with a help of psychic by a certain yellow Abra after the alarm rang. Not used to teleporting, the other two figures felt a bit uncomfortable. Nadia jut twitched, not saying a word. Because of that nightmare and that awful discovery who murdered her entire pack, she was more quiet than before and often got drifted away in her thoughts, not paying attention at all. She didn't told anyone about it though. She kept it to herself.
"Now what's wrong this time?" Vincent wondered. "I do not know." Luke replied. The Abra then spotted a Gardevoir that looks very familiar as Alfred. "I-Is that really Alfred over there?" He inquired. Nadia stood beside the two and shrugged to her partner's question. They all examined the scene. other than that Gardevoir there is a gray Drifloon, Selena, Moonfall, and Ivy. The Poochyena gave a chuckle to a certain freaking-out Espeon whom is bolting pass them.

Solaris---Selena---Moonfall---Ivy---Alfred---Orion---Sasha
"You have new guild members? A lot by the looks of it." The Gardevoir commented, nodding briefly to the Abra that had appeared and then continued on with the point.
"What I was trying to say is..."
"Darkrai has returned. Having finally broken the seal I placed on him fifty years ago." Orion cut in, face grim and eyes strangely lucid.
Alfred turned to him with his hands in the air.
"If you knew why didnt you say so before!"
"I like cookies!"
"..."
"Can I punch him?" Sasha called, arriving on the scene with a fist raised at the gray Espeon as he began to nom on his tails.
"You most certainly can not."
"Anyways, what's this about Darkrai? Was that who caused the nightmares from before?"
"That or one of the countless guild members Solaris handed that Dark Void TM out to..." Alfred replied, not amused in the least.
"Does he go out of his way to make my job harder?"
"I dont see why your job is all that hard..." Selena snorted, turning to give Ivy a quick lick upside the head.
"Not hard? Try dealing with all those idiots who by some Arceus forsaken reason are in charge of a guild full of children! I cant TAKE THIS ANYMORE! EITHER YOU SHAPE THE ******** UP SOLARIS OR I'LL HAVE YOU BEGGING ON THE STREET FOR SCRAPS!"
"...Alfred..."
"...5...4...3.2.1...I'm fine." The Gardevoir managed to squeak out, clearing his throat to point accusingly at the Espeon.
"We need to fix this problem. NOW. Let me remind you that fixing and blindly running into dangerous situations are NOT the same thing."
Solaris was nodding solemnly as though understanding but finally ended his moment of calm by chasing his tail.
"...we're ******** style="color: #816F54">"How do we get to Darkrai anyways?""He normally remains in the afterlife. Only surfacing to our world to cause more problems.""...how does one get to the afterlife?""If you wish to go to the afterlife you must die." A voice sounded from above and perched on the window sill a figure in a black cloak cast his gaze down with a single red eye. Solaris turned to look up and gave a shriek of terror before hiding behind Leon's leg. "THE DEAD WALK AMONG US!""Oh, shut the hell up." Standing there, exactly as he was in life albeit a bit more darker in color and adorned in a jagged black cloak, was Jasper.  "...you're alive?""Not really. Stuck in limbo. Apparently I was destined for hell, due to my current lifestyle. But due to how I died, Arceus made a deal with me. You're looking at the new Grim Reaper. I'll be your guide into the afterlife."The Raichu's scythe of a tail whipped out, cutting a hole into space that apparently lead to the afterlife. "...HE'S GOING TO KILL US!""...Solaris isnt allowed to come if he's going to scream like this the whole way." "Wait, wait. I dont care if we do have a guide....rushing into the 'afterlife', of all places is not the most logical approach to this-""LAST ONE THERE IS A ROTTEN EGG!" Solaris dashed forward into the portal and vanished from sight. "WEEEEE!" And Orion was, of course, quick to follow. "...""...""...""...""...I should be surprised but I saw this coming from a mile away..."

Lucinda---&--- Leslie---&--- Spike---&--- LeonAll four Pokemon glared at Solaris and Orion.
"... Stupidity runs in the family. I mean, uh..." Spike muttered, glancing at Selena.
Leslie gave the Absol a growl and kept near Selena and his daughter.
Leon murmured something to himself and shook his head.
"I should have figured this kind of thing would happen to you," He muttered when he saw Jasper.
"I'm surprised you didn't join Amani in Poke'halla, though." Jean-Claude---&--- Maxi---&--- Chance---&--- Tommy"A portal to the afterlife... interesting..." Jean-Claude muttered as he looked at the portal that Solaris and Orion had entered.
"Very... not interesting. There's no veed in the afterlife..." Maxi replied, shaking his head.
It was then that he laid eyes on a particular Lucario from the Guild of Rebirth.
"... Vell, hellooooo~"
Tommy could only giggle at the Espeons' actions.
"Those two are so adorable~"
Chance had waddled over to his friend, Jasper.
"HI!~"

Imiti--- Celsus " Okay, okay, wait a second. This is retarded. We're going into a universe that we know nothing about, and we're not even sure if we're coming back. How do we know we're not all going to be stuck there, pretty much dead?" " Well, it's that or Darkrai shows up and kills us all anyway. Besides, I'd say we have a pretty good chance of coming back." " Pretty good chance? We know absolutely nothing here!" " Exactly. Pretty good chance." With that, Imiti stepped into the portal.

~ Armand~ Veronica~ Jasper~ Unaware of Chance's presence until he spoke up, Jasper quickly turned around and enveloped Chance in a big hug, "Chance! Great to see you!~". Veronica perked an eyebrow and looked over at Armand, "Who's Chance?" Armand just shook his head and chuckled, "Not a clue... but they seem to have a rather close relationship, no?" Veronica just shrugged.
Taking notice of Chance's strange method of walking, Jasper let go of him and tapped his scythe-hand against his chin pensively. "Um, why don't you try flying? It looks to be more your style~" Might as well make use of those wings. Suddenly the ghost-like being that was the other, more well known Jasper, opened a portal into the afterlife. It was painfully obvious that they would all have to enter this portal. Armand just smiled, "Finally, something that suits my strong points. Come Veronica." Veronica just stared wide-eyed at her ghostly partner, "Tch, you kiddn'? I ain't goin' in there. Nope, not a chance, there's dead people in there." Armand just rolled his eye and picked Veronica up by the head. "WHA-HEY WHAT ARE YOU-" Veronica was unable to finish her sentence, on account of being chucked into the portal and all. Armand then followed his angry little partner and walked toward the portal. Before entering he turned to look at Jasper, "Come, Jasper, there are more pressing matters to attend to." He then entered the portal. Jasper, albeit a bit disappointed to be leaving Chance so soon, turned to enter the portal, leaving a quick, "See ya later, Chance!~" Before following the others through the portal to the Afterlife.

Ⱦeam Ðaɍksţaɍ ~✭ XXXXXXXXXXXXX—¤÷(`Nadia & Vincent & Luke ´)÷¤— The Poochyena walked backwards. "I'm not going in there.." She finally said. Vincent and Luke turned to face at the scared Poochyena. "We are not going in there for a long time." The Riolu said, aware that she isn't a fan of dead people. That, or either she's not herself these last few days. Vincent teleported behind her and slowly pushed her forward to the portal. "N-N-No!" She tried to flail. "Both of us will always be there with you." He tried to reassure her. "Don't worry about it, Nadia." Vincent continued.
A few more pushing later, Nadia and Vincent is now both in front of the portal. The Abra walked beside her and grabbed her paw. She looked at him then back to the portal. She managed to take a gulp before Vincent dragged her into the portal with Luke following them from behind. Soon, they disappear out of sight and into the afterlife.
