Chapter 17 – The Future Syr awoke to nearly featureless, uniformly gray surroundings. The walls had a faintly metallic property to them, and the floor beneath his face was fairly soft and slightly rubbery. His mind, upon catching up with his last waking moments, provided a picture of dozens...

Chapter 16 – As Below, So Above There was something strange in orbit over the world Babs and Jen called home. Something that most definitely did not belong there. It had looked for all the world like a meteor of some sort, a big lump of rock hanging over the planet. But it had simply popped...

Chapter 15 – Extraction “Left at the next junction,” Kiat called out over the sound of several heavy bodies making their way through metal-floored halls. “Then left again, and up the ramp and to the right.” It was, perhaps, fortunate that they all had Kiat there to remind them of the course...

Chapter 14 – Seterhath Zulo-Denvenda If Syr hadn’t known better, he might’ve sworn the deranic base was abandoned. There were others here, besides himself and Ren and the latter’s team. Many others. But not a soul among them was anywhere to be seen. They’d all apparently drawn inward, away...

eld-oys: Apocalypse Trauma Gang. :D I love it. Fun fact: I actually debated whether or not to keep the part about the planes going down and all while I was writing that chapter. In retrospect, I'm not really sure why I ever considered taking it out. It happened, because of course it would--Bad...

Chapter 13 – Kindred Spirits Jen hadn’t known what to expect ever since he’d found himself among the deoxys. Certainly he hadn’t expected to be served dinner. Or breakfast, or whatever it was. There was no telling time in a place like this. But sure enough, there was a table raised in front...

Chapter 12 – In Bloom The detour west had brought Syr and the rest of his party closer to Rustboro than they’d originally planned to go. In the morning, when they’d been seeking a place to camp, its south end would’ve been visible on the horizon—would have, if it hadn’t been for the fact that...

Heya! Thought it'd be a good idea to mention that this chapter, along with a couple of others, have received some largish edits. So yeah, in case you're wondering why certain characters no longer appear in this story, that's why. :B _ Chapter 11 – Away The room was dark, its cluster of...

@diamondpearl876 : Veeeeeeiiiiiins :D Gotta love creepy organic stuff! Number of characters who have literally 100% of the picture: 0. :B I think the reasons why I personally made it that way were 1.) it just seemed likelier to be the case and 2.) having some characters know things while...

@Ambyssin : I had been looking so, so forward to doing this with Karo, let me tell you. Looking forward to it for a long time, basically ever since I came up with his whole "yeah nah Ren's totally not human" thing and his Reasons for it. There's just something fun about letting the cracks show...

Chapter 10 – Belief The kwazai came thundering in, heedless of any bodies in their path until they arrived at their trainer’s side. Both dropped to the filthy ground next to him as swiftly as their oddly-jointed legs allowed. Both their tails were lashing, and Demi was uttering a stream of...

Chapter 9 – Light and Smoke The ovoid room opened into a winding tunnel. The walls were the same, shimmery gray here, with green and red cables snaking along the length of the hall like veins. Gliding effortlessly ahead of them was the creature who’d opened the door: bipedal, with two pairs...

@LightningTopaz The cataclysm (that is such a cool freakin' word, incidentally) will certainly get its time in the sun... eventually, and not necessarily all at once. ;) Good to hear Mr. Bridges is apparently doing something different with the whole "last of his kind thing", meanwhile. :D...

diamondpearl876: Yep! Not to mention that when you're toting around a member of a Very Extremely Endangered species, caution's kind of a given. Glad to hear it. >:D Thanks lots for the read 'n' reply! :D Also, your sig is mesmerizing.

Chapter 8 – Systems Online They stood by, their consoles arranged in a ring around a modestly-sized stage. Their eyes were trained on maps, on readouts, on the thing that sat like an oversized seedpod in the center of the room. Faces looked back from a few of the pits dotting its surface: some...

Athena: There was pretty much no way I wasn't going to do something adorable once I decided okay there's gonna be bugs in this scene, because bugs are cute to begin with. <3 (Granted, the joltik cameo in Communication basically just hid in the trash, but joltik are extra adorable. I don't think...

Chapter 7 – Verdanturf It was close to midnight before the three of them left Mauville behind. The path to Verdanturf would be rather shorter than the road to Mauville had been, and what awaited them at its end remained a mystery. Basath and the arbok hadn’t seen the inhabitants of Verdanturf...

Agenda: Yeah this is... a weirdass sort of a sequel, isn't it. It's basically a sequel to two other stories at the same time; i.e., not strictly a TOoS sequel. Hence its own thread, I suppose... though I guess this + TOoS + Communication could've all shared a thread? I don't know. At any rate...

diamondpearl876: Every time I look at this review, it's as uplifting as the first time. Thank you. ;w; __________ Chapter 6 – The Serpents Acknowledged There was a creak, then a click. With a delay, Syr registered light shining beyond his eyelids. “This should cover it,” Demi said from...

diamondpearl876: It's an enjoyable dynamic to write about, too. :D Thanks for the read 'n' reply! ____________________ Chapter 5 – Normal “So. Snakes.” Ren slowed down in midstep, possibly to glance back at Syr in vain. It was too dark to be sure. “Anyone you know?” You knew he wasn’t gonna...
