Blade cringed as he saw the large bird stomp down onto its trainer, as well as when it kicked the Skitty away. Frowning, he moved closer, still not really sure how he was going to be able to get the Dodrio away from Riyo. But as he approached, some movement and some light out of the corner of his eye caught his attention.
Glancing to the side, he saw the strange spherical relic begin to glow. And judging from the way the young lady screamed, this really wasn't going to be a good thing at all.
"Stop that!!"
While the thief approached, Gouku jumped off of the humans head and attempted to land onto the bird's backside so that he might be able to distract it.
"Wha--?"
Feeling the monkey jump off of him, Blade quickly snapped his attention towards the Dodrio, Riyo, and Gouku. Seeing what was going on now, he shook his head and called out to his pokemon, "Gouku! Get back here!"
However, the little Chimchar was already in midair, and it wasn't as if he could just defy physics and suddenly turn around now. Grumbling a bit, Blade ran forward to try and maybe shove the Dodrio away... somehow...

Riyo looked over at Blade, then up at the ball. She couldn't struggle out from under the Dodrio, but she could sure as hell try. She had to get that ball, before he got out.. Though she was afraid that it was too late.
As the Chimchar jumped onto Schizo's back, one of it's heads turned to look at him. The head that was looking back at him seemed to grow angry as he saw a monkey on his back.
Ri-chan quickly composed herself again and was about to do another run at him when she noticed the ancient pokeball glowing. "Oh no!!" She shouted and ran to the pokeball, making a desprate lunge for it, but it was too late. Red light shot out of the pokeball as the skitty jumped for it, and sent her flying into the air. The light spread quite a way's both up and around the area of the pokeball. And it was almost blinding. Soon enough, the light began to take form.. And lord, whatever it was, it was of beastly size. After the light decipated, there stood a gigantic pokemon twice, if not three times as big as the two story house it was next to. It's red eyes stared down at the ants that were around it's feet. It was the legendary time controlling pokemon, Dialga. And it let out a mighty roar as it looked down at Riyo.
All the other pokemon seemed to freeze, including Schizo. While Riyo just stared up at it with unadultrated fear in her red eyes.

Both pokemon and trainer froze in their tracks as something extremely large came out of the object. Gouku was just about to jump around on the Dodrio's back but that idea soon washed out of his head as he saw the looming dragon and steel legendary pokemon right by them all.
Turning towards the gigantic creature, Blade feel back onto his bottom from shock and shouting out, "Oh sh--", but was easily drowned out by Dialga's deafening roar.
He stared up at the creature he had only seen in books talking about legends, thinking that this was much larger and more ominous than any picture could quite depict. So the object was something like a pokeball, but that didn't explain how Riyo managed to have something like this in her possession. But... he wasn't thinking about that so much. It was just the fact that if Dialga was as powerful as the legends depicted it, he, and everything else here could easily be killed in a matter of moments.
Blade didn't think he felt quite this scared before.

Riyo's eyes closely resembled those of a cow at an oncoming train. Her jaw dropped. The worst had happened. He was out now. And she could feel him prying into her mind.
Schizo seemed to snap out of whatever transe he was in and very quickly got off of Riyo, backing up further and further away from this huge creature.
The already dark sky slowly began to cloud around the area that the beast was standing. It looked down at Riyo with those red eyes... Those red eyes that matched hers. Her sunglasses fell off her face and onto the ground. "Let us punish the world for what it did to us, my Master.." A voice seemed to echo from the large creature. Riyo clutched her head painfully and curled up on the ground for a moment. "N-n.." She started, then seemed to drop her guard. Her hands slowly lowered from her head and touched the ground as she pushed herself up again. As she stood, her disposition seemed... Much different from what it had been just seconds before. There was a grin on her face now. And her red eyes held a slight glow.
Calamity was struggling to walk over to where Riyo was. His markings now had the same red glow as his trainers eyes. "No... Can't let anything... Bad happen..." He mumbled out.
Vex was shaking from head to toe on the porch. What was that thing?! Why wasn't Riyo running away from it? Why was she just standing there?! He didn't understand! His little eyes filled with tears.

As the Dodrio began to move away from the large pokemon, Gouku clung to its backside, feeling too scared to move from his current position. So instead, the poor Chimchar covered his head and practically cowered on top of the three headed bird.
Staring at both Dialga and Riyo with wide eyes, Blade was slowly pushing himself back to his feet, fearing that if he made any sudden movements it would mean the end for him. Once he was standing once more, he glanced over at the young lady only to find that something seemed to be very wrong with her. And the part that brought his attention the most, was the fact that her eyes no longer seemed to be much like his own any more.
They're glowing... he thought before shifting his gaze down to the Absol to see his markings glow in the same fashion.
Red. What was the significance of it? The Absol's markings, Riyo's now glowing eyes, and the Dialga's eyes as well. The thief's eyes were pretty much the same color but he highly doubted that it had any more significance to himself other than being born with a bit of a mutation. But for the girl and her pokemon, it seemed to be something much bigger.
"...Riyo..?"
Moving his left hand to rest it on the hilt of his sword, Blade slowly began to approach the girl, as well as the gigantic pokemon that stood so close by.
"Riyo.. snap out of it..."

In truth, the chicken may have been big, but that just made him an even bigger chicken. Sure, he acted tough, but he wasn't about to challenge a monster the size of a SKYSCRAPER. That would make him stupid. And well, three heads equal three brains so that would mean he was much better off than the rest of them. He didn't care if he had a monkey on his back right now. All he cared about was getting the hell away.
"Let us cleanse the world, Master. Cleanse the world of the weak and ignorant. Cleanse the world from those who wished to be rid of us. I can see your past, my Master... And I can assure you, the blood on your hands will never wash off.."
As the monster spoke, Riyo looked down at her hands and saw it. All the blood. All the people she killed. All those she had left without family... Including herself.
That's when the Dialga's large eye turned toward the approaching Blade. His eyes narrowed.
"Start with him."
Riyo's head quickly, and almost frighteningly turned to view him. Her grin returned as she saw him inching ever so closer. She didn't say anything. Her muscles slowly began to tense up. She was ready to attack. One false move and she'd lunge for him like a bloodthirsty animal.
Calamity was almost there. He could see what was happening. He had to snap her out of it. Get her out of this transe. He could do it.. He had done it at the temple. He just had to remember how he did it.

"H-hey... where are you going? We can't leave!"
Whimpering a bit, Gouku had peeked out slightly only to see that he and his current mount were getting further and further away from all of the others. If his body wasn't so paralyzed with fear right now, he would have jumped off of the bird's back and return to his trainer. But that wasn't the case, so the fire monkey remained with Schizo for now.
As he moved closer, Blade heard a faint voice coming from the gigantic pokemon that was only supposed to exist in fairy tales. It was a little hard for him to hear, but he was able to understand it, especially with those last three words it spoke.
Stopping for now, he glanced back up at the giant before looking straight ahead at Riyo, who looked as if she was about to pounce on him to try and tear him apart. Deciding it was best to keep from going any closer for now, he just kept his left hand where it was while staring straight into Riyo's red eyes with his own.
"Don't..." he started while speaking softly, "Try and change... remember what I said...? And don't let your.. your pokemon control you... It called you master. So you command him..."

Shizo turned one of his heads to look at the Chimchar. "If you want to go get yourself chopped up into little monkey pieces, then go ahead!" He said, his three heads taking turns speaking the sentence.
Riyo stared at him as she approached, hearing his words but most definitely not taking them to heart. "I can't change..." She started as she very slowly began to approach him. "Can't you see it? Can't you see all the blood on my hands?" She asked and showed him her obviously plain hands.. But to her.. They were drenched in crimson. "I can never change..."
The absol slowly began to creep toward the relic that lay just beneath the behemoth of a pokemon. He remembered some of what happened. Riyo hit him.. And that thing showed up in her hand. He just had to get it back, right?
Dialga watched as the absol creeped closer. "Don't do what I think you're doing.. You can't win." He said with a cocky smirk.
Around that time, Ri-chan woke up. She felt.. A great sadness for some reason. Quietly, she stood up and looked around. Where.. Was she? The ground was.. Sorta squishy. She looked down. Blue? When was the ground... Oh crap. As she looked over whatever she was standing on, she quickly realized what it was. She was on top of the Dialga's head.

Falling silent for a moment, Gouku shook his head before speaking up again. He still couldn't get his body to move for him right now, and his voice seemed to quiver as he spoke.
"Do you really... want to abandon your trainer... your friends..?"
While Riyo approached him, Blade neither stepped forward nor backed up from his current spot. His body tensing slightly, and he was being as alert as he possibly could there, but he was doing what he could to remain calm. If he was spazzing out, he'd probably be in a lot deeper trouble right then and there.
"Everyone can change... You just need to try... Fight against the things that are pressuring you.."
Glancing to the side momentarily, he caught the Absol creeping towards the Dialga, but he wasn't sure what he was trying to pull off. So he figured he'd leave that to him and just deal with Riyo for now.

Schizo stopped for a moment, his heads switching from looking back to forward. "I dunno about you, but that thing right there scares me beyond words. And I'm sure Riyo can take care of herself... Right?" The gaze of all 3 heads slowly moved over to her.
Riyo stared at Blade, noticing the tensing of his muscles. Her eye twitched. "Y-you don't understand.." She mumbled. "It's me.. It's not "things"... It's... Me.." She then noticed his eyes glance away and her instincts took over. Without hesitation, she lunged for him.
The large beast looked over toward Riyo who was now attacking. Perfect.
Calamity took this opportunity to lunge for the ball, but was quickly caught off guard by one of the Dialga's large legs, hitting those fierce looking metal claws. It knocked the air right out of him. He flew about 10 feet away and landed in the dirt, almost lifeless.
Ri-chan looked down and watched what was happening. Oh no! What should she do?! How could she help? Hell, how could she get down??
(( Not much of a reply, but for 4 in the morning it's purdy good. xD ))

((Hehe, it's alright. XD))
Quivering a bit, the Chimchar looked over towards the giant pokemon and the two humans near it. Things really weren't looking too good for everyone in general there.
'I'm scared too... but I don't want to leave my trainer.. There has to be something we can do...'
As he was bringing his gaze back to the female, Blade saw that he needed to move right away if he didn't want Riyo to get a hold of him. Quickly, he slid off to the side, just barely dodging her lunge. But he made no move to retaliate, and this was partially because he had been caught off guard somewhat, and partially because he had a feeling that attacking back would somehow make things worse.
"Then... fight yourself! I've only known you for a little bit, but even I can tell there's good in you... And you know what? Even though your pokemon called you 'master' you're the one that's being controlled!"

As Riyo missed, she simply landed on all fours and attempted to lift her claws up to attack him, but stopped as her hand was about to touch. Good? In me? She thought to herself, her eyes wide. Her hand was shaking. She was trying to control herself, she really was. "Nngh..." Her eyes clamped shut. It almost hurt to do this.
Schizo let out an exasperated sigh from all three of his heads. "If you come up with something, then we'll do it." He mumbled out, almost not believing what he was saying.
As Riyo started to fight the little voice, Calamity's legs twitched. He could feel.. Strength gradually coming to him.. His markings began to glow again. Slowly but surely, he stood to his feet and stared at the beast ahead of him.
Dialga was once again distracted with Riyo. She was fighting his suggestions, which made him nervous. "Exact your revenge on the world...." He hissed down at her. He then glanced at the human. "I do not "control", I simply suggest. There is a difference, you know."
Riyo was indeed prone to those sort of suggestions. Hearing someone say it.. Hearing someone say what she wanted to do.. As if justifying it. It was more herself than it really was the Dialga. The violent behavior was already inside her. He was just bringing it out.

While he may have been able to dodge her first strike, he wasn't quite ready for the follow up attack. Seeing her come after him again, he tried to move but he wasn't fast enough this time around. So Blade tensed up and prepared to take the brunt of the blow, but it seemed that this was needed now.
Staring at Riyo when her clawed hand stopped just before making contact with his body, he blinked a bit before staying where he was.
"Suggestions or not... if she wants to change, then she shouldn't listen to you" he said to Dialga while keeping his eyes on the young lady in front of him.
"What would revenge do anyway? Would it really make you feel any better? What if the world wants you to break down and take out your rage on people just so it could point and laugh at you?"
Thinking frantically, the Chimchar stared more at the giant steel-dragon pokemon but couldn't come up with any sort of plan right now. As he looked around the area, he noticed the odd spherical object that was under the beast.
'Wh-what's that thing... under the giant..?'

"Revenge..." Riyo mumbled and continued to hold back her arm. It was starting to shake. She couldn't keep it there much longer. Her hand shakily grabbed ahold of his shirt and squeezed. Slowly, she stood to her feet and pulled him closer. "If they wanted me to, they wouldn't scream when I took their lives away from them." She whispered in his ear, beginning to loose control again.
Dialga smirked once again as he witnessed her violent behavior taking over again. It wasn't even him. He didn't have to try. As he recalled, she was prone to the smallest suggestion.
Schizo's heads squinted to focus on that... Thing under the beast. "I'm not exactly sure.." He said, two of his heads tilting while one continued to look.
Calamity, who was once again growing weak, managed to crawl over to Schizo and the Chimchar. He looked up at them weakly. "You.. You need to get that.. It.. Confines the monster..."

Frowning and gritting his teeth while watching her struggle against herself, Blade shook his head lightly while staying where he was. Blade was starting to wonder how things were going to end here for them all.
"Those are individuals. But who's to say how people will think as a whole? Get a hold of yourself already. I know you can change, Riyo... you have it in you. But you need to fight it! Everyone has a bad side... you just need to make sure the good in you keeps in control..."
At the Absol's words, the Chimchar nodded slightly before staring at the spherical object again.
'...How fast can you run..?' asked Gouku to Schizo.
