Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Graaah!" With an angry roar the Rock Elemental rose one of its cannon-like arms out of the fissure. The broken up Rock Wrecker turned Ancientpower had for the most part been broken down into harmless pebbles falling from the sky, not the destruction the Elemental desired. With all its attempts at absolute destruction thwarted and now being in a hole, the Elemental was no longer going to hold back. A brown energy would gather at the mouth of the barrel arm sticking out of the hole. This strange energy would rapidly grow until it engulfed the entire area, yet did not harm anyone. The energy ball did however seem to attract all sorts of rocks, collecting them at its outer regions until everyone near the Elemental were enclosed in a giant rock dome.

With another roar the energy bubble/rock dome would begin to rapidly contract, threatening to condense its self into a compact size with the Snagems inside. Sub realized what was happen. "It's a Rock Tomb! Literally!" It was then that Sub looked up and saw the disk falling, with Raine going after it. A feeling of dread overcame Sub, the thought that there was no way she would make it in time with how fast the the Rock Tomb was closing in. It was all over.

"Tooomb!" Griswald cried as he appeared from his ball, wrapping himself around Sub like a scarf. Sub was unable to ask any questions as a sudden surge of chi overwhelmed him. This feeling was not foreign, it was their channeling bond, the chi shared between them, yet it was so much more powerful. Surely this was Cera's doing, and whatever else that had empowered her. "Hit Raine with a Shadow Ball!" Sub commanded.

It was such an odd request, and those around Sub, including Raine if she heard, might think Sub had lost his mind, but Griswald didn't. The Ghost obeyed accordingly, firing off a small ball of shadows at the incoming hybrid. The disk and the Shadow Ball would pass by each other, the glob of energy slapping into Raine's chest and yet...it didn't hurt. She would however discover that her body became incredibly heavy, as if gravity was paying extra attention to her and thus she was falling far faster than normal, quickly catching up to the falling disk. She better react to this additional weight soon though, if she didn't want to end up as a pancake.

Dark wouldn't have much of a chance to evade the sudden slam, being flung at one of the meteors. Instead of letting himself be crushed by it, though, he spun to let off a point-blank Hyper Voice to try and let that deal with the rock. With the disk and someone else falling too fast to do anything about it, he wasn't going to try for that. Yet.

Aden and his Poliwrath, eventually, managed to finally stop careening into the Stealth Rock trap and panted. "That... was way too close..." He said, not even daring to move for fear of ending up in the trap anyway.

Though Cera's efforts continued as much as she could, they were slowly beginning to wane. Even with whatever was granting her such a drastic increase in chi, she could only do so much and was on the verge of collapse. And she still wasn't sure as to just what was behind the increase either.

Find themselves within the slowly developing rocky tomb as they continued to fly towards the Rock Elemental, the Leslies would watch as another hybrid leaped out and was sent flying towards their target, ramming a strange device into the thing. Looking between each other, the two Mawile hybrids would aim for where Raine had landed, accelerating to slam the device further in and guarantee whatever it did.

The plan, however, did not survive first contact with one of the members. Young Leslie would find herself unable to adjust her aim during her flight, simply only spinning around in place while maintaining her previous trajectory. Muttering as she shifted over to grab her younger self around the shoulders and helping to aim them both for the device. "Meteor Drop! Apply directly to the forehead!" The older one shouted out as the plan began to at least show some sign of success, with the hybrids aimed for their target and continuing to accelerate themselves.

The enclosing Rock Tomb would be stopped in its condensing as the Giratina hybrid's tentacles pushed back against it. However he would not last long as the Rock Tomb fought back piercingly, the dome slowly continuing towards crushing them.

The Capture Disk would slam into the Rock Elemental and the two Leslies would cause it to drive into the beast, a small bit of the disk visible. A blindly white light would shine as the disk activated, this white light slowly expanding outward as it threatened to consume the Elemental. The Elemental intended to put further force behind that Rock Tomb and take them all down with them but thanks to the Cursed Body he had lost his control over the Rock Tomb, it was on its own now.

With the beast slowly being converted to energy it was not going to go down without a fight as the Rock Tomb shattered into thousands of sharp pebbles which would launch at the Snagems from all angels and take on a shining glow. It was a Diamond Storm. If he had to go down, they all had to go down!

Those who survive the Diamond Storm would see the Elemental become completely absorbed into the Capture Disk and said disk would begin to free fall into the fissure which the Elemental had resided. And at the bottom of that fissure, the hear of the volcano.

"Grab it!" Sub shouted.

The two Leslie would bounce into the air, holding themselves in midair as the chaos began to occur and the two were in the middle of the Diamond Storm. |Attempting to weather through the onslaught of rocks, future Leslie would look to her past self before slapping her towards the airborne Capture Disc with one of her mouths. "Go! I'll handle this!" Watching her past self manage to waiver into a flight path towards the device, older Leslie let go of her defense and allowed the rocks to send her flying around the area. Remaining silent as the storm of rocks continued to send her flying, the hybrid would burst into a rainbow colored light before she completely disappeared, a single stone hitting the ground below she had previously been.

Younger Leslie would send herself flying at the Disc, plowing through the rocks in her way without care as she aimed to grab the device with her second mouth and get the hell out.

Raine would be barraged by the Diamond Storm, shrieking in pain as the shards would pelt her and find a home in her body. She'd survive, barely, but there'd be quite a few holes in her wings now, and she looked extremely worse for the wear and extremely without energy, and the Crobat hybrid began to plummet. "Welp. That was fun... " She'd force herself to stay conscious for as long as possible to try and grab the disk, but knew things would be done for her if she didn't grab the disk.

Dull falls after the Capture Disc as the storm of rocks impacts his body violently. He was trying to stay ahead of the other RC, and he reaches towards his side again as he approaches the younger Leslie, a Shadow Ball forming in his hand again as he comes down towards her. All of a sudden his form flickers a bit, and he goes from a brilliant white Mega Gengar to an off-color regular Gengar hybrid. His Gengarite had worn off, and his Shadow Ball was losing intensity quickly. That's when the Diamond Storm hits, a whirlwind of flashing rocks and blurring energy that pummels his new body in a hailstorm of pain. Another new sensation to the one-time figment as he slowly reaches through it towards the Mawile hybrid, his grey-purple fingers trying to brush the edge of the Capture Disc. His other hand still has the Shadow Ball, and he attempts to deliver it into Leslie's chest to knock her away from the thing.

--

As the Rock Tomb shatters into a Diamond Storm and bears down, the first one being in the way is Darts. The diamonds effectively raze his entire body from top to bottom, covering the hybrid in lacerations as it all passes him. "....Oh." he gasps, trying to keep a grip on himself. With all the power coursing through him he wasn't going to want to let it go unchecked and on a rampage. Even though the pain was almost blinding, Darts was still in okay shape, but he wasn't sure he could take another hit like that. As the Giratina hybrid turns to see the storm fall towards the rest of his comrades, he tries to ignore the fact that his entire jacket was needled from top to bottom, every single cut like a wound on the surface of his skin. Near the bottom of the chasm he sees Lykas fall and Leslie scrapping with someone who looked oddly familiar for the Capture Disc. Time to see what he had left in him as he turns himself downwards and hurtles towards the action, black ichor weeping from his injuries as he plummets, his appendages folding up above him into a diamond for aerodynamics to try and increase velocity.
