" I'll do it. Teleport is the one thing I've actually mastered, and I've thoroughly memorized any and all important locations I've been allowed to visit. And I promise I won't talk about this, and neither will those two. May I please, sirs?" Celsus, meanwhile, was looking directly at Solaris as he snickered at Alfred. " Hey, you. Grow up."

   Solaris---Alfred---Orion
"No one must know!" As well as his ruined dignity the fact that a guildmaster was...not as powerful as before, could be taken advantage of. Yay. More Pokemon to gawk at him in his Kirlia form. Alfred would have been annoyed had one not been an Abra, so eager to assist. "The Tower of Rebirth? You know where it is?" Directing his attention to Imiti was also a ploy to ignore Solaris, less he gut the Espeon right then and there. The giggling persisted however, and his already shaken nerves began to grate until with a snarl he had lunged at Solaris in Poochyena form. The sudden outburst stopped the Espeon's laughing, as desired, and only when Alfred transformed back did he realize the problem. He had used Transform as a Kirlia. But he hadnt known that move then!...did he?

" Alright, is everyone ready then?" Meanwhile, Oliver had noticed the Transform take place, and was just beginning to make the connections in his mind. " Anything that still needs to be done?" " I don't think so." " Alright then." " Hey, wait, couldn't you--" Crack.

TolinAfter weaving an intricate and complicated web of teleports, he finally arrived in the Move Tutor. He had been extremely careful to leave an almost impossible to follow trail by jumping back and forth. There was about three distinct trails from any spot he had teleported from and many of them fed back into each other. All in all, it hadn't even taken a minute; although things wrapped into one another, there wasn't that many stages. But it would be ample to confuse her. Holy s**t, that was exhausting. But it was worth it. The Move Tutor was a fairly sturdy and rather massive building to begin with. From where he teleported, he gave Alfred a slight nudge with his scythe. " This way. Just follow my voice." He walked down to a seemingly useless area of the move tutor and stopped. His breathing halted completely as his mind focused in. A loud series of turns and clanks could be heard. Finally, a small section of the floor popped up slightly. Flipping it open with his foot, a wide staircase was revealed under it. " Equipment storage. Watch out, we're going down some stairs." Even if Sasha managed to find her way to the move tutor, it wasn't likely she would find the basement. He had had the old exit sealed up entirely some time ago when it became apparent he might need a panic room, choosing instead to take a secret entrance. " Alfred. Sasha was angry. Is there anything you've discovered recently? Do we know where the mirror is, or did we find out about anything else?" It was one thing if she was just hiding from Archer after having sensed his arrival, but she had gone somewhere. He flipped the light and the heating on with a burst of psychic. Being a basement, it was rather chill; though it would warm up quickly.

  Alfred---Archer
He relied too much on his Psychic to guide him, it was painfully obvious. The Gardevoir grit his teeth in mild annoyance, inwardly scolding himself for not seeking out a alternate method to handle his impairment. With one hand on the wall next to him and moving at a ridiculously slow pace for few of falling or walking into something, he steadily made his way along after the sound of the Scyther's footsteps, oblivious to the small thumping behind him of an Eevee trying to keep pace on the steps which were larger than him. Upon reaching what was the bottom of the stairs Alfred paused and moved no further, he had no idea where he was or what the room was like and decided against trying to determine it by stumbling into things. The Eevee behind him slipped silently past the Gardevoir into the room towards a corner where it curled up, back leg stretched out at an odd angle, to listen. "She was already irritated over something when I went to speak with her..." Alfred responded, folding his arms in a manner so he could lightly scratch at the cuts on it which were itching something fierce. "I tell her I was just checking on her since she was acting so odd anyways and she suddenly declares that she'll 'kill me first' at attacks me..." Well, she did say she'd kill him but he found it odd she hadnt extended her claws fully. These little scratches werent fatal and he'd seen her claws unsheathed before. They were at least a few inches long and would have done much more damage... "I dont know where the mirror is but not for lack of trying. It isnt in the tower anywhere..." He continued on. "But-Oh! Yes, actually...I was originally going to ask to make a replica of her necklace, but decided against it when she snapped at me...I did find something of interest on how to deal with the Relics. I planned on telling you later." Which now caught him as awful curious that Tolin showed up exactly as Sasha lost her cool. He'd ask later. As he said the word 'Relics' Archer lifted his head and narrowed both blue eyes at the Scyther in a fury. Not noticing the Eevee still, Alfred kept speaking. "Solaris's Flareon aquaintance dropped by earlier. She'd heard of those stone tablet 'Prophecies' he had and wanted to ask me about them. I never noticed before, didnt think they were significant, but they have these indentions in them in the same shape as the Relics...there are seventeen in total." Let Tolin draw his own conclusions.

TolinThe relics... it was possible she had gone to get back the tablets after having realized that the necklaces were being taken. If she knew where they were and simply refused to act (after all, she likely viewed herself impervious to danger) the death of the Onix may have spurred her to move. The likelihood that she would go after anyone in particular besides himself was... limited. Lady Neon was likely safe. He might be able to find her at Arceus's tower, but with the rock pendant in hand he would be spotted and killed in an instant. Though there was another issue at hand. Alfred had simply lost his Psychic? " Alfred. When did you lose your psychic? What happened when it turned off?" There was one of two potential sources; something had blocked the energies or it was a result of him dying. Either way, it was a concern. The only other person who had been there when he had lost it was Sasha. If she could block psychic powers, then Tolin wouldn't be able to escape if he was attacked. As soon as he got his answer he would be gone. First his team room, then the Guildmaster's office. Then back to Rebirth. He didn't need a conflict just yet, but tracking down Sasha could prove to be crucial. She was pissed and there was no way to tell what she would do. ((Shawn, if you could just OOC/PM me whether or not Sasha is in any of the aforementioned areas, that would be fantastic~ Doesn't seem necessary for you to do a buncha posts just to have Tolin go "Nope. Next area!"))

  Alfred---Archer
"When she attacked me it just turned off, dammit! How should I know?!" The Gardevoir snapped and seconds later was instantly ashamed at his anger and dropped his head in an apologetic gesture. It wasnt the Scyther's fault after all and he was only trying to help. "I'm-I'm sorry. I dont know...it may have just been a disable or something, in that case it'll come back eventually..." Naturally he was avoiding the idea that it wouldnt. He had the same idea as Tolin that this might be the start of the loss of his mind, life. It was no surprise his moveset would start to go as well then, but Orion was perfectly capable of holding his own in battle...then again Orion was a spawn of Arceus. Alfred sighed and then, realizing there was a wall behind him, leaned back dejectedly. 'I think...' Archer's telepathic voice cut in towards the insect type. 'I think I shall go see if I can track this Lucario down and reclaim the mirror. I wont engage her, I just want to know where it is. If she's at the Tower of Origins then we'll have to wait until later...or until the Elite leave it but it's unlikely they will. We may have to take the fight to them to get it back...' The Eevee stood, stretching lightly and then began to pad over to the door with haste. 'Oh...and if I were you I'd see about getting those tablets from Solaris and locking them in my secure room at Rebirth. Nothing can get in there without the password, not even Arceus...I'll be back later to inform you of what I find.' With a nod the tiny normal type began to scale the large stairs with short hops and muttered curses until he vanished at the top.

TolinDisable, huh? It probably wasn't anything that convenient. You couldn't just "disable" someone's typing, not the way it had happened with Alfred. Even if he lost his ability to manipulate psychokinetic energy, it shouldn't have shut off his ability to teleport. Well, maybe it would have... Alfred invested very heavily in his psychic, so it was quite possible disable would react accordingly and shut off a bit more than normal. Either way, it didn't remove the possibility that Sasha had the ability to annul an individual's psychic completely. Confronting her would be much more dangerous than he had previously thought. Before, he had a slim chance with the possibility of retreat. But if she could lock psychic, his most useful ability was gone as well. Definitely... it would be best to leave it to Archer. " Hold onto these." Tolin put the rock pendant down in front of Alfred, letting his grasp on it slip. A quick and quiet push with his psychic had the gem around his neck come off, sending a wave of confusion through the Scyther's mind. The pendant was almost narcotic, in a way; it allowed him an unprecedented level of focus. Although subtle in it's presence, it definitely felt horrible to take off. Tolin quietly shook his head to try and remove the aftereffects. The gem came to rest in front of Alfred, the dull metallic exterior clinking lightly against the floor. " The metal one will help you focus your psychic. The other one is an Elite's pendant. "Don't try to use it" was heavily implied. " I'll be back in just a moment." Even if Archer was going to track down Sasha if possible, it would be best if Tolin did his own checks. Knowing whether or not the prophecy was present was extremely important. If it was gone, he would join the hunt immediately. First was his team room. Then Solaris's office. Rebirth as well, if it seemed wise. As far as Sasha knew, he was the only one aware of the pendants; the possibility that she had attacked his team room looking for him was fair. She already knew where it was, after all. The Scyther disappeared with a loud unruly crack.

 Alfred
"Hold onto wha-" The Gardevoir began to ask, cut off by the Scyther's quick explaination and the barely audible sound of something dropping to the floor in front of him. He tried not to think too much about what was happened but accept it as it came. The idea that he would possibly not make it to the final battle for the balance was always there and nearly sent him into fits of panic if he dwelled on them too often. "Wait! Where are you-" The tell-tale sound of a teleport cracking made him stop and although he knew the Scyther had left he still chanced a quiet, "Tolin?" before sighing deeply. It was lucky he had the sense to send Lucinda and the kids away before all this happened, he could take relief in the knowledge they were all okay but the overwhelming sense of helplessness ruined any console he had left and he allowed his back to slide down the wall he had been leaning on and onto the floor where he sat with his legs folded, holding both the Rock Relic, although he did not know it was the rock one per say, and the other... Odd. He'd never sensed anything like that before? A focus for his Psychic as the Scyther had said? Well, try it out then. Alfred clenched his hand into a fist around the gem and slowly small framents of images began to fade in and spread in his mind. They were blurry and distorted but he had an idea of what the room looked like now. Just as quickly it was gone and he sighed once again.

TolinIt took Tolin a full minute to return. The Office had been fine. His team room had been alright; his team hadn't heard or seen anything. The Outlook had been empty... although he hadn't stuck around long enough to do anything bordering on comprehensive. Getting found by Sasha would have been bad if she was still hanging around there somewhere, hidden. He didn't have the kind of psychic necessary to scan the entire tower, especially without Orion's gemstone. A loud crack sounded as he reappeared a few feet away from Alfred. He immediately strode forwards and fell to one knee to meet the Gardevoir at eye-level. " The office is clear. The tablets are still safe. I scanned Rebirth very briefly... Sasha isn't in the outlook, though I can't judge the rest of the tower." He glanced at both pendants that the Gardevoir still held on to. " Any luck with restoring your psychic?" Orion's gem was rather strong and unique in and of itself. That's why he had chosen to shield off it's appearance with the metallic casing; the glowing rainbow lights would draw far too much attention. If Alfred still had even a shred of his powers, the gem would help him pick them up. If he couldn't do anything, even with it... Tolin would have to take emergency measures. Like breaking into Origin in order to steal back the mirror and pull Suecra out. They didn't have stand a chance without it, after all. He really hoped he wouldn't have to do that.

 Alfred
The Gardevoir lifted his head silently at the sound of the Scyther's return. At his questions he extended his hand to hold up the gem with a slight frown. "Just...inklings...it's not even my Psychic energy it's whatever was stored in this that I can draw out...this is Orion's gem isnt it?" The final comment was phrased as a question though Alfred already knew what it was, he just demanded verification of that fact before anything. "...it's completely gone, I think." The blind Psychic said with finality and shook his head, tilting his hand to the side so the gem would roll out of his palm and land on the ground with a barely audible 'tink'. Without his psychic abilites then what could he possibly do? He had a whole arsenal of fightiny type moves, but that wouldnt help him if he couldnt SEE. He was, as far as he could tell, completely useless as of now in regards to being able to fight or assist. What would go next? The rest of his moveset? His mind then? Alfred believed that the loss of his Psychic was not the fault of Sasha, that she would know something as advanced as the ability to block types was completely ridiculous. Elite or not. "I'm done."

TolinThat's... strange. There probably shouldn't have been any energy left in there. Tolin didn't have psychic abilities naturally, so he didn't exactly "generate" psychic energy like some kind of battery. He simply forced it on demand. If anything, the amount he would give off would be extremely passive; hardly enough to power a gem. " It is. I thought it would be better to put it to use than just leave it for Orion to take back." Orion was still dangerous, even with the agreement. Letting him get it back could prove risky. The Scyther shook his head at the last, final comment. " You're not done. Not yet. Even if your powers are completely gone, I have an idea. I'll need to borrow a bit of strength from someone, but it's doable." If his idea could pan out, it would give Alfred limited access to psychic. For the mean time, though, there were other things they could try. There was one other psychic focus the Scyther knew of and it was exceptionally powerful. He grabbed the gem off the floor and strung it back around his neck with a slight psychic nudge. His mind immediately sharpened once more. " I'm going to teleport us now, to the tower. Hold on." The Scyther placed an arm at Alfred's side and teleported them both. If it really was a natural progression for Alfred, giving him back his powers likely wouldn't help... but it was too risky to leave him without them.

TolinTolin appeared within the equipment storage, or Panic Room was it could be more aptly called. He quickly flipped the switch to turn on the electricity. It was freezing and dark, but the lights quickly flickered on and the heaters began to whir, bringing life back to the room. Ever since Alfred had come down, he had been making slow modifications to the basement. Although Alfred was not there and did not need to be there, it was possible it might need to happen. So Tolin had, effectively, developed a full panic room. A small and simple bed fit for most creatures sat in the corner. A desk wasn't far off, although it was sparsely populated with only a stack of blank paper, a few writing implements and some simple books. Specifically, informative books. Maps, encyclopedias, historical records... the kinds of things that may be useful. A small fridge sat at one of the walls, unplugged and empty along with a similarly unplugged stove. Non-perishable food sat in a pile beside it along with a few sealed bottles of water that were replaced regularly to replace stagnation. A few sealed jars of some plant mix sat nearby along with a few basic pots and a sole kettle. All in all, it was like a very big, ugly room. Someone could even live there if they pleased. At least they could work out; since it was equipment storage as well, there was plenty of training equipment.

Blade && FlashTeleporting into the room with a small popping sound, Flash looked around briefly before his eyes glinted and he lifted the unconscious Blade onto the bed using Psychic, then the Transformed Glaceon turned to Tolin and sat down on the floor. It was a strange room to have in what he could sense was some kind of shop; furniture, training gear, and supplies in a set up that could practically be a bomb shelter or hideout for a fugitive. This bug was definitely an interesting guy. But for now, he supposed it was only right that he worry about messed up Mr. Blade and getting the big baby to go back to the Guild and face Solaris. "So," he said after a moment, glancing at Blade for a moment, "I don't suppose I've got to tell you that the big guy's having some issues."

TolinTolin walked over to the desk and pulled out the chair to sit down as he answered. " Zaru told me I would 'understand when I saw him', or something to that effect. It's pretty obvious he's not doing well, but what exactly is so wrong with him that you would seek me out?" If he had some sort of tangible problem Solaris would gladly help him and if he was nuts the hospital had a psychiatric wing that would take him in. So what was wrong with him, exactly?
