Solaris---Alfred---Orion---Lloyd
"-and that's what I heard." Lloyd shrugged his shoulders at the two Espeon sitting in front of him.
Solaris frowned, this new turn of events was unfortunate. His fur tingled in concern over the prospect of fighting another Pokemon like Suecra.
Orion didnt seem to care one way or another, he was far to preoccupied getting into everything.
Lloyd scolded the old Espeon as he attempted to pull the fire alarm when a shrill sound reached his ears.
"WHAT DID I SAY?!"
"It wasnt meeee."
"Huh, nyeh. A call button. Five bucks says its that Scyther, drugs should be wearing off by now..."
He turned to walk down the hall, Solaris at his heels and step into the room.
"My, arent you looking better and less dead." Lloyd remarcked, waltzing over to turn the respirator off and remove the breathing tube with a flick of his claws.
"It seems your always in the midst of things old man. Why dont you retire already?"
He glanced toward the sleeping Gardevoir who had slumped over so he was horizontal across the chair with his legs hanging over one end and his injured arm hanging from the front.
Orion finally entered the room, pausing as he spotted Alfred and cheerfully bounded over to leap up into the chair as well to curl against the Gardevoir's side in the manner of a lazy cat.

 TolinTolin flexed his jaw back and forth slightly, working the feeling and range of motion back into it. The question pulled him away from his stretching, his gaze settling on Lloyd. It was a firm and unwavering. " Because if I leave, no one will be there to replace me. No one is capable, or possibly willing, to take my place." He relaxed back into the bed and turned his gaze to the ceiling, his much more serious tone changing to one of an almost whimsical musing. " I won't delude myself into thinking I am essential. Should I die, should I go, the world will continue to turn. But my place and my actions are important, and so long as I continue to help the guilds I will continue to fight." A smile creept across his face when he glanced at the unconscious Alfred. " More importantly, how is Alfred?" He was glad that they had managed to get out of Rebirth relatively unscathed. The quakes of Alfred's death would have been endless.

Solaris---Alfred---Orion---Lloyd
Solaris's ears twitched as he listened to the Scyther speak. Suddenly a voice resonated in his head. Ender, the Alakazam advisor of the Guild of the Morning Star.
Without pausing to say goodbye he had vanished.
Lloyd glanced towards the spot the Espeon was in curiously before deciding it wasnt worth the effort to investigate. He knew what was happening already.
Lucy had taken off so quickly earlier it could be nothing other than the guild in danger yet again.
"I suppose you have your uses. Anyone under fourty is apparently too incompetent to do anything say for a few." He included himself in this, although Lloyd was not incompetent. He was merely lazy.
"The kid'll be fine. HE wasnt on the verge of DYING like you were. I slipped him something to knock him out as well as a few anti-depressants."
Yeeaah, Lloyd had heard about the Gardevoir's little fit after that hell incident.

Tolin " Heh, good to hear." He laid back in his bed, content with the results of things. " Then, I'm going to get some rest. My muscles hurt like hell." The blurriness that sat in the back of his mind quickly took over, lulling him back to a peaceful sleep. Hopefully, he would wake up not feeling like he had just run a few marathons consecutively.

Solaris---Alfred---Orion---Lloyd
Lloyd shrugged and headed out, happy his patients were actually listening.
The Weavile had not even been gone for five minutes when a snap echoed and Solaris appeared again, a Caterpie latched to his head.
"Nico just attacked the guild! Kage is a zombie! Saito's been murdered and the entire world is going to hell in a hand basket!"
It was, unfortunately, at that moment Alfred decided to wake up.
Hearing Solaris and taking note of the zombie Caterpie, he quickly placed this in the 'I am clearly still under the influence of whatever the hell Lloyd gave him'. Hallucinations aside, his head dropped back down and he quickly went back to sleep.
Orion, however, had seen the Caterpie.
"LEMME HOLD IT!"
"No! Get your own zombie insect! This one's mine!"
"JUST FOR A SECOND!"
"GET OFF!"

Tolin " Oh for..." Tolin once more arose from his slumber, the barely five minutes having not been nearly long enough to have left him in a deep sleep. Solaris and Orion seemed to be fighting for some reason over what appeared to be the corpse of a caterpie. " Solaris, what's going on?"

Solaris---Alfred---Orion---Lloyd
Solaris let the Caterpie go and Orion fell back, tumbling backwards with the insect in his paws.
"I WIN!"
The Espeon glanced at Tolin, suddenly serious.
"The guild was just attacked. By Nico. He was the one who killed Diablo and he also killed Saito as well. Kage is...Kage is under his control..." Or what use to be Kage.
"Saito?"
Alfred was fully alert now, sitting up with his injured arm held against his chest.
"...that monster is picking off the higher ups of the guilds."
Damn, hadnt the Weavile told him that himself not too long ago? Back when he was still working for Selena.
'Let me tell you a secret~ I'm going to kill the guildmasters.'
The Gardevoir stood, they had to do something. The meeting would have to be called immediately.
Nico's plan was revealed and they still had that Lopunny to deal with.
Small red droplets dripped from his arm onto the floor at his feet.
No rest for the weary it seems.

Tolin " The one time I decide to take a nap..." He shook his head in frustration. Hopefully no one else had been grievously injured. He faced Solaris seriously. " We need to increase security around Frost. If he's going after the guildmasters, then the only remaining leaders for Morning Star are Sonata and Frost. Sonata is capable of handling herself, but Frost..." would get slaughtered. His head turned to Alfred, already knowing what the leader of Rebirth had planned. " Alfred, get that stitched up before you go." He cracked a sarcastic smile. " It wouldn't be any good if you covered the paperwork in blood, after all." Not to mention that, if it was still bleeding, the wound was extremely dangerous. If the blood hadn't clotted yet, it meant that that wound would eventually bleed him dry.

Solaris---Alfred---Orion---Lloyd
"What do you take me for, old man?" The Gardevoir's head dipped, a smile on his face.
"I've been gone for five minutes."
The after image of his teleport faded, Solaris cocked his head to the side and sighed.
"Then I'd best go increase security around Frost as you said. The guild will need to be enforced stronger as well."
Before the Espeon left, he snatched the decaying Caterpie from Orion's paws and placed it back on his head before strolling out.
Deprived of his new 'toy' Orion teleported onto the end of Tolin's bed.
"WANNA PLAY TAG?!" [o 3 o]

Tolin Tolin quietly made a mental note to check on Alfred's arm the next time he saw him, if it were any time soon. And also, quite possibly, scold him for abandoning his elders when both of them were in the hospital. It was a tad disconcerting to see the Gardevoir simply vaporize with a still-bleeding arm. He didn't seem like he had a lot of blood to lose. Tolin nodded to Solaris as he left, and without missing a beat picked up Orion and placed him on the ground beside the bed. He quietly muttered to himself as he took off whatever wires and sensors that were still resting on him. " Alright, let's get out of here. I should check on my team." He hopped out of bed before turning to Orion with a playful grin and tapping him on the forehead. He immediately took off without another word, his quick and methodical footsteps carrying him through the hospital with ease. He still ached a bit all over, but the pain was more a result of stiffness induced by a sudden stop and a nearly immediate drugging. Getting his body moving again would help more than anything, as he felt quite well rested.

Orion---Lloyd
Orion gave a leap and toddled along after the Scyther, only to run head first into a wall and knock himself out.
Lloyd chose that moment to walk by again and upon seeing Tolin leaving, Alfred gone and the ditzy Espeon laying in a heap at his feet, he threw up both claws and began to shout curses into the air.

 Tolin & LiaLia and Tolin popped back into the hospital with a quiet crack. He quickly scribbled something onto both sides of the sheet of paper and set about finding Lloyd, or a nurse that could direct him to one. Lia watched in concern, but couldn't really help. He was walking faster than most people sprinted, and Lia was by no means athletic.

Orion---Lloyd
Lloyd glanced up briefly from where he was starring into a medicine cabinet, apparently taking inventory.
This was usually Lucy's job, but as she had gone to some meeting thing he had gotten stuck with it
Following behind him like a shadow, Orion gleeful meowed upon seeing the Scyther.
"Ugh, what'd ya do this time, old timer? Pop your hip out of place?"

Tolin & Lia Tolin handed the note to him then promptly sat down and began regulating his breathing. Hopefully he could step down a stage or two without dying in the time it took Lloyd to read the note. Please direct me to Lloyd. Wait, no that probably wasn't for him. Oh, yeah, this side. The Guild Exchange is under attack. Attacker temporarily frozen. I need something to keep me fighting. It's important, Lloyd. Please.

Orion---Lloyd
The Weavile slammed his clipboard down, outraged.
"What the Arc'damn ******** is wrong with you?! That meeting has plenty of capable Pokemon in it and you want to go rushing off into battle with them like your some young upstart! I'll be damned if you go back at all!"
He pointed a claw at the Azumarill that had accompanied the Scyther.
"YOU! If you teleport him back there then I'll rip both your ears off and force feed them to you!"
Orion cocked his head to the side as he listened.
"Get your a** in that hospital bed now, old timer! YOU SHOULDNT HAVE LEFT TO BEGIN WITH!"
