Solaris---Banquo---Tempest---Evers
Solaris was surprised that he was not the last to arrive this time.
The Espeon's eyes widened at the Pokemon already seated at the table and then his gaze swept over the missing seats that were usually occupied by the Morning Star Guild, Ice Guild and one missing spot in the Thunder Guild.
"Heya Sol!" Banquo greeted, front paws on the table. His voice, though hyper, lacked it's usually optimistic tone and he as well as the others seemed somewhat dejected.
No wonder, everyone had loved Diablo.
"We're waiting for the others..." Tempest explained lazily, arms folded.
Solaris left it at that and quietly took his seat.
Inwardly he sent a mental note to his Uncle, should Pluto wish to join.

   Eira---&--- Vespin---&--- LucyLucy arrived behind Solaris.
With a sigh, she stepped into the room and looked around.
They were missing a few, all because of her damn brother.
Eira also arrived rather late, Vespin close in tow.
Not only was he there to speak for the shy Weavile, but he felt the need to stay close to her at all times after what had happened to Diablo.

 Kenna & NikolasAn orange and black Ninetails slipped inside the conference room, hesitating to wait for her partner; a dark, stitch-covered Banette.
Both were very downcast in appearance, looking solemn and saying nothing to the others around the table. With both Saito and Diablo gone, Nikolas had been promoted to a higher rank in the guild, and his partner had followed.
Kenna followed Nikolas to the table, and sat just beside him as he settled into his respective chair.
The Ninetails continued to glance repeatedly at the door, obviously waiting for someone's arrival.

 ~Jack ~Glimmer ~Rave ~Sonata
Another chunk of high-ranked guild-members arrived with their respective teams and took seats as directed.
Jack, battered, bruised, and still suffering slight numbness from the amount of electricity sent through his body recently nearly collapsed on Lucy's shoulder and broke down as thoughts of the previous night flooded his mind. He really shouldn't have been there at the moment but on the other side of that coin it would have been cruel of him not to show up for something like this.
Sonata was stuck with the rest of her team which felt awkwardly empty. Normally she remained completely quiet and wallflower-esque in times like this but as time droned on she couldn't help but anxiously tap her claws melodically against the table before her. She wanted the hell out of there.
Rave also sat with his team, he being far too busy trying to open a bag of Cheetos that appeared out of nowhere to notice there was a seat unoccupied in his vicinity.

  Minerva & LiaMinerva padded through the door, one of her servants behind her. She sat down at the table, taking the seat that was intended for her husband. She faced Solaris squarely. He should know better than to tell Pluto of the meeting; he was far too ill. " I shall be taking my husband's place for the evening. Should the discussion warrant his presence, Lia shall teleport to inform him." Lia nodded behind her. " We apologize for any inconvenience."  TolinTolin entered the room quietly behind Lia and remained standing quietly away from the table. Lia had informed him of the situation upon his departure, and he had asked to come. Given the situation, he was one of the few people who had fought the Lopunny first-hand. Tempest and Alfred included, of course, but... the extra set of eyes had it's advantages. Given his fair relationship with Alfred, his experience with Solaris and his brief meeting with Tempest, he didn't expect to cause any waves within the meeting with his mere presence.

Frost & Kenna & NikolasA new figure slipped into the meeting hall, his thick, frosty fur shimmering slightly in the odd lighting of the room.
He was silent as he moved toward his place at the table, his dark eyes scanning the room for familiar figures. None of the gazes he met seemed particularly welcoming, and it was obvious as to why.
He was not Diablo, and he never would be.
It was unlikely that they'd ever love him as they did his uncle, but he felt it would be more than worth his time and effort to gain their trust and respect.
He settled into the chair that once belonged to Diablo, shivering involuntarily at the idea of sitting there. It felt strange, to sit there as though nothing was wrong.
His gaze fell to stare at the table, unaware of the astonished glances of his guildmates next to him.
Kenna glanced at the Arcanine next to her, brow furrowed with suspicion. Was it really him?
Her chest felt tight, and if it were not for the solemn, proper air of the meeting, she would have exploded with a thousand questions.
'Frost...'
How had he grown so much since they'd last met?

~Jack~Glimmer~Rave~Sonata
"s**t..." A barely stable Lopunny muttered under his breath as he found out about yet another death at the hands of a certain malice Weavile. Nico had hell to pay after the recent lines that were undoubtedly crossed.
Glimmer nearly let out a yelp at all the sudden shocking news that meant anyone present including herself could be next. Needless to say the Milotic was frightened and sorrowed at the same time by all of this.
"WHAT THE s**t?!"
An exclamation echoed through the room as a Gardevoir announced Brenton's death. From the sounds of it one of the departed's employees hadn't known about this little fact until this now. If it was anyone else they would have probably been escorted out of the meeting for such unprofessional conduct, but such things were just expected from Rave. A bag of Cheetos proceeded to dramatically fall to the ground as the very colorful Pokemon looked on with as much attention as he could give now.
Meanwhile, Sonata was hardly effected by the announcements made. Her eyes having not left Frost since he entered the meeting room. Even though her glare could probably light the powdery blue canine on fire in the back of her mind a little voice was slowly dispersing the hate she had for him.
Why'd he have to be so cute...

Minerva & Lia Minerva shook her head sadly. Another guild master slain. Well, with death there were things to be done, after all. " Evers, Rave. You have my condolences for your loss. I know it is a time of pain for both of you, but the guilds must be brought first. Is there anyone capable of taking the position within the guild?" Her question was direct and to the point. Perhaps it was even a little cruel to ask it so quickly, but it was necessary. Frost had taken up the mantle of Morning Star; someone must do the same for Blazing Fire. If not, then plans must be made to moderate the guild. Tolin Brenton is dead, then? He quietly considered the situation. It was bad, but not irreparable. Perhaps it would even pull the guilds together if Alfred played his cards right.

Frost & Kenna & NikolasFrost gritted his teeth, feeling a mixture of shock, grief, and anger all at once. That was two of their strongest guildmasters out for the count. They couldn't afford to lose another.
Nikolas' eyes widened, and the emotional Ghost-type clawed at his partner's fur for support.
Kenna obliged, leaning in to soothe the Banette's frayed nerves.
All three members of the Morning Star got the feeling that the worst was not yet over, and were understandably tense as they awaited further news.

Solaris---Banquo---Tempest---Evers---Alfred---Sasha---Ami
A sharp cry escaped the Dragonair who excused herself.
Seeing an opening, where he would not trample on the feelings of Brenton's allies, Alfred quickly took Evers absense to explain.
"Brenton has no family that could take his place. Generally this goes to th second in command, but...his is rather devastated. For now the Guild of Blazing Fire will have no Guildmaster until this situation is cleared up. A collaboration of the other guilds should ensure it remains running effeciently. I've already taken the liberty of having Sasha go and assist as needed."
The Lucario gave a prompt nod to indicate it was she that Alfred spoke of, in case no one realized it.
"Diablo, Saito, Brenton...whose next? If this threat is not removed soon then we may as well begin digging our own graves..." Tempest raised her voice to be heard. Her small stature taken into account, the Pikachu stepped onto the table to elevate herself.
"That's awfully morbid, Tempy."
"Morbid, but true."
"Brenton was one of the smartest among us! Diablo was the strongest! That they could be taken out so easily is just...terrifying! What are the rest of us to do if it happens again? Replacing Pokemon just makes more targets for this psycho to take out!"
"Banquo! Relax! Arceus, if your going to freak out over this then I'd hate to see you when you hear about HER."
The Manectric slid down in his seat until he heard the keyword, eyes widening in concern.
"Her?"
Alfred sighed and tugged the bandages on his arm, that were slipping, up.
"We dont know her name. She attacked Rebirth the other day. I recently came into some information that there MAY be another being like Suecra in existence and that this attacker, this Lopunny is its host."
Silence filled the room, Banquo dipped his head to the table and Solaris gave a groan of despair.
"...well, now that I've heard it all outloud it sounds like we have our hands full."
"We're royally screwed."
Outside, a small Vaporeon was leaning on the door to listen.

  Pilot && Flash
Another--albeit accidental--listener also was present in the hall, curled up next to the wall while doing his best to fall asleep. Man, why'd he have to have Transformed into something with such good hearing? He'd never get to sleep with all the Guild people talking in there...

  Eira---&--- Vespin---&--- Lucy---&--- Callie---&--- ScarfaceA look of shock flashed across Eira's face at the news of Brenton's death.
Arceus, was she next?
Outside the room, Callie approached Ami, blinking a little.
"What are you do-.. You're spying on the meeting!" She whispered frantically.
Hearing something behind her, she quickly turned around and meeped.
Wow, that was a scary face.
Grabbing Ami, she pulled her away from the door as a large Arcanine entered the room.
"Scarface. Thanks for coming..." Lucy said, standing up from her seat to greet the scarred Arcanine.
She had personally asked him to attend, knowing full well the Guild of Blazing Fire's situation.

~Jack~Glimmer~Rave~Sonata
Jack passed out onto the table due to the lack of people who gave a damn about his presence.
Glimmer saw something shiny and her attention was quickly dragged away from the morbid conversation at hand.
"Do I still have a job?"
Rave raised his hand with caution and asked. This whole situation was just too confusing for him to handle, especially in his state at the moment. All was solved though once Sasha was pointed out as being temporarily in charge of 'assisting' him if needed. Or at least that's all the Mighteyena heard of the conversation.
"Hey there~"
He tilted his head towards the Lucario in question and purred.
Sonata remained in her seething state though her glare turned elsewhere since it seemed her enraged glance towards Frost was starting to turn more into a gawking look than anything.
