A small distance away, in a heavily-forested area... Gads's was whirling. Things were looked dire, with only himself, Doppler and a few cultists standing, and now, an entire legion of assistants have charged onto the scene. Some suscessful, some not. Even MEWTWO seemed to have a stake in this. Somehow, the chain of events lead to Gads somehow finding himself a short distance from the main battle, looking on at the dire results going on within. However, despite the current situation, Gads's worry wasn't on Vorge. It's not that Vorge wasn't a threat. Certainly, he's the one that must eventually go down in the long run. However, as something far more important to Gads's immeidate situation, Protopticon had seemed to dissapeared after Vorge had muttered an order to it, probably to elminate the remaining fighters, and knowing even the little he did about the half-dino, half-ditto, he knew who it was bent on "elminating" first. Namely, himself, Gads Trisan. 'So... what now?' Gads thought towards his alter-ego. Thankfully, Gads was outside the dampener's range, so he was able to consult with... well, himself. He had to do something! Even a head-on assault on Vorge was more then he was doing now. 'Well, with that psy-dampener up, Vorge's psychic powers are down, right?' 'Right.' 'And since when did you rely on psychic powers to fight? Sure, you have them NOW, but for the past 13 years, fists were enough.' 'You're RIGHT! Vorge just gave himself a handicap against myself and Mara. He's good with the mental mumbo-jumbo, but let's see how good he is at defending himself from physical assaults without his powers. All I got to do is get over there, and he's as good as GONE!' 'Or sssoo you think, human. Too bad you'll never get to sssee him again. Or at leassst until you belong to him.' A voice ecoed in Gads's head. Out of nowhere, down slamed Protopticon, right in front of Gads, tagging him lightly with a claw swipe in the process. "Thisss time, you are MINE! There'sss no one to interfere. No alliesss to sssave you. Jussst you and me." Gads, suprising both himself and Protopticon, smirked. "Well, I sssee that sssomething isss wrong with you thisss time, Protopticon." Gads chuckled. He even got the lisp down perfectly. It was Protopticon's turn to smirk. "Yesss. Thisss time, I, Panopticon, am in control! Asss the sssuperior half of thisss omnipotent body, I will be victoriousss! Prepare to sssuffer my wrath." With that, the hybrid launched a tail whip at the Dojo trainer, who jumped over it, flipping backwards in the process. "So, a different threat, eh? Well, I have a few new tricks too..." Gads concentrated for a moment. The tell-tale glow of psychic energy returned to his hands. "Ssso, I evaluated your worth asss a prize incorrectly lassst time. I'll become sssecond-in-command once I hand you to Vorge!" The hybrid aimed his plasma cannon at Gads and fired. Gads dodged out of the way once again, and took a moment to punch Protopticon in the jaw. Instead of just stunning the modified dino for a second like last time, it's head snapped back, allowing Gads to land another blow before being forced to dodge a massive claw swipe. "Grrr. Ssso, you ssseem to ussse your psssychic powersss more freely now. Let'sss see how you do when I do the sssame." Protopticon quickly charged up a Psybeam, and fired it off at Gads. "ACK!" Gads made a move to dodge, but found his mobility limited by the forest around him. 'No where to go... gotta try something...' 'Remember about how to deal with a powerful attack?' '... don't STOP IT! MOVE IT!' Gads made a desperate backhanding motion at the Psybeam, his fists now glowing a bright blue. It caught the beam just before hit hit him, sending it off-couse at a forty-five degree angle, forcing it to pass by Gads and continue towards the massive melee in progress. "Ssso... it looksss like we are clossser to evenly matched thisss time. No matter. Sssoon, you'll belong to Vorge." "Over my dead body." "Asss you wisssh, insssect..." "So you think. You never should of left the side of the mother hen. Now, I'll show you why its not a good idea to screw with the Fighting Dojo OR it's members." "You talk big, but do you have the ssskillsss to back it up, little one?" And while Gads and Protopticon began a standoff... Back at the main battle... Mara got up. After taking a moment to remove the green ditto from her chest, blushing red in the process, she looked around. No Gads... no Monk-cha... wait! There he was, peeling himself off the ground, eying Vorge evily. "Monk-chan! Over here!" The Mankey, once identifying the owner of the voice, ran over the Mara. "Mankey?" "No, I don't know where Gads is. I don't see Protopticon either... is that MEWTWO over there?" Indeed, Mara looked to where the nearly-omnipotent Pokemon was currently being brought down to it's hands and knees. "What could be doing THAT to such a powerful..." Mara's question was answered when a Psybeam, flying out of nowhere, entered the dampener field, dissipating almost instantly. "Wha? A psychic attack... just... dissapearing? Something's up." Mara took notice of what was going on. Vorge was wailing upon Doppler, who was doing the best he could do defend himself against the strength of Vorge, but failing without his Psychic abilities to back him up. It seemed Mewtwo couldn't even STAND, never the less float like it normally did... "Psychic attacks... are useless?" Mara's frown became a grin. "So... basically, that means that the strong, and the skilled will susceed." Mara looked down at the claws on her hands. "Worth a shot... strong Pokemon like Vorge, and skilled fighters like myself and Monk-chan are at advantage. If Gads was here as well, this would be over in a snap." Mara took a moment to build her courage. "But I'm the better martial artist! I can do this!. Come on, Monk-chan! We're going to fight a giant! At least until Mewtwo is back up." "MANKEY!" Monk-chan just stared at Mara. "Mewtwo's one of the good guys, Monk-chan. As for Vorge, this time we have an advantage. No psychic attacks. Just don't stop moving, and we'll be fine!" "Mankey!" Monk-chan nodded, and the pair started to work their way towards the massive Vorge, hoping that they could at help stall until the Psychic Dampener was out of action, and Mewtwo once again able to fight. (OOC: If Mara isn't going to work in the main battle as a time-staller, feel free to backhand her over towards Gads. >:) TBC?
