Zell Dincht wakes up groggily next to Irvine.

Squall the Mew wakes up in a small room and looks around..... and tries to stand... but falls over in pain.

Irvine Kinneas eyes snap open.

Flynn opens the door to Squall's cell and moves in on all fours.

Zell Dincht says, "Irvine?"

Irvine Kinneas says, "I'm here."

Squall the Mew tries to get up again and defend himself.

Zell Dincht snuggles against him.

Flynn says, "[you're afraid?]"

Irvine Kinneas holds him tightly.

Squall the Mew says, "[you captured me.... ]"

Flynn sits down and sways his tail.

a small thudding sound is heard along with muffled Rais

Irvine Kinneas blinks as he hears this.

Zell Dincht blinks.

Zell Dincht says, "Rai... Raijin?"

Flynn picks the mew up in a paw.

Squall the Mew says, "[put me down...]"

Flynn snaps his beak.

Raijin is jumping at the door handle to the cell... since the guards are asleep... but isnt doing too well.

Flynn says, "[mother wanted to get a hold of you.]"

Squall the Mew says, "[I’m not going to be a slave like those others....]"

Zell Dincht walks over to door.

Flynn says, "[slave?]"

Irvine Kinneas says, "he probably wouldn't remember anything by now..."

Irvine Kinneas sighs.

Zell Dincht says, "Raijin?"

Raijin gives up trying to get the door handle to work... and thunder's the locking mechanism.

Zell Dincht watches the door swing open.

Zell Dincht says, "wow man!"

Rinoa Heartilly looks up.

Rinoa Heartilly says, "the door's open?"

Raijin waddles in..... looking quite a deal beat up... with a good portion of his tail missing... as well as some nasty looking slashes on himself.

Irvine Kinneas chuckles as he sees the lightning spark through the door.

Zell Dincht frowns at the injuries and picks the Raichu up into his arms and cuddles him.

Irvine Kinneas gasps when he sees Raijin's condition however.

Zell Dincht says, "Raijin... gods, what happened to you?"

Raijin says, "[Raijin?  Raichu....Others don’t like me.....  you smell familiar.]"

Irvine Kinneas gets a pained expression but soon hide it.

Zell Dincht cuddles him some more.

Irvine Kinneas says, "Zell... he pokefied, he probably doesn't remember anything..."

Zell Dincht says, "Raichu... I always called you Raijin."

Zell Dincht looks to Irvine.

Zell Dincht says, "I know."

Raijin has on a little collar with a locket on it.. one of the last vestiges of his humanity.

Flynn cocks his head at Squall.

Flynn says, "[what do you mean slave?]"

Squall the Mew says, "[you do her bidding without really knowing why.]"

Flynn says, "[she's my mother. I do what she says because I want to.]"

Zell Dincht strokes the fur of the Raichu and looks for a potion.

Rinoa Heartilly hands Zell a potion.

Zell Dincht uses the potion on the Raichu.

Raijin sniffs at the potion.

Zell Dincht says, "Feel better?"

Raijin drinks it.

Irvine Kinneas pulls on his clothes, which the guards probably didn’t bother to put on and considers himself lucky that the guards bothered to throw them in.

Zell Dincht pulls on his own clothing.

Flynn carries the mew out to where the rare birds are.

Squall the Mew says, "[I have legs you know....]"

Seifer Almasy is busily preening his feathers cause they were damaged by fire.

Flynn says, "[I know.]"

Flynn sits down again and places Squall on the floor.

Edea Kramer stands looking at something unimportant as she waits for the mew.

Flynn says, "[I have brought him. He's healed now.]"

Edea Kramer says, "[good.]"

Seifer Almasy cocks his head at the mew.

Edea Kramer walks over to them and takes a closer look at the mew.

Squall the Mew puffs up.

Flynn sways his tail.

Edea Kramer chuckles as the Mew puffs up.

Flynn says, "[behave little mew.]"

Squall the Mew says, "[I do as I please... ]"

Edea Kramer says, "[soon you will do only as I please.]"

Squall the Mew says, "[how do you propose to do that?]"

Edea Kramer goes to snap a collar around Squalls neck.

Seifer Almasy goes back to preening his wings.

Squall the Mew hisses and draws away... looking for a way out.

Flynn walks on all fours to stand next to his mom.

Edea Kramer reaches a hand out and grabs the Mew's head and restrains him from movement as she snaps the collar on.

Edea Kramer says, "[there is no escape for you.]"

Squall the Mew mewls unhappily as he feels it snap tight around his neck.... then goes about trying to get it off.

Flynn says, "[relax little mew.]"

Edea Kramer activates the collars shock mechanism as he tries.

Squall the Mew yowls.

Flynn moves his beak over his fur, cleaning it.

Edea Kramer says, "[there's little hope of you getting that collar off.]"

Raijin watches Zell and the others.

Zell Dincht says, "How did you find us?"

Raijin says, "[Followed you... don’t remember why.]"

Zell Dincht says, "to keep watch over me."

Zell Dincht scratches between his ears like he always did.

Raijin purrs.

Raijin says, "[itchy.]"

Zell Dincht continues to scratch between his ears.

Flynn looks up at Edea.

Edea Kramer takes out some TMs.

Raijin moves his head so Zell is scratching where the collar is on his neck... purring loudly.

Edea Kramer says, "[now to customize your abilities.]"

Zell Dincht scratches hid neck with a smile.

Squall the Mew says, "[I like my abilities how they are thanks.]"

Seifer Almasy goes back to looking at the mew.

Seifer Almasy says, "[so.. familiar...]"

Edea Kramer says, "[to bad. I do not.]"

Squall the Mew says, "[I’m not fighting for you...]"

Flynn says, "[why not?]"

Squall the Mew drops to all fours and scampers towards the far wall.

Edea Kramer says, "[you fainted way to easily, and you will fight.]"

Edea Kramer calls Squall back.

Seifer Almasy continues to look at Squall, fluttering his wings.

Squall the Mew says, "[no...]"

Flynn says, "[why?]"

Edea Kramer activates the shock mechanism once more.

Squall the Mew yowls again.

Flynn wonders why Squall wouldn't want to help his mom.

Edea Kramer says, "[come over here.]"

Squall the Mew says, "[n.. no.]"

Flynn flutters his wings and looks up at Edea.

Flynn says, "[why is he resisting mom?]"

Edea Kramer activates it again.

Edea Kramer says, "[because he is foolish. he has been around those human SeeD to long.]"

Raijin rolls over onto his back and kicks his paws in the air in pain.

Flynn says, "[SeeD.... they even make Pokémon go against you...]"

Flynn shakes his head in distain.

Edea Kramer says, "[yes, Curse all SeeD.]"

Squall the Mew says, "[I ... am ... SeeD...]"

Zell Dincht frowns and rubs Raijin's tummy.

Flynn squawks in surprise.

Edea Kramer activates it again.

Flynn says, "[how? You're a Pokémon.]"

Raijin wags his little stub of a tail.

Seifer Almasy says, "[SeeD... SeeD...]"

Seifer Almasy scratches his head with a talon.

Zell Dincht frowns at the tail as he rubs the belly.

Edea Kramer turns to the Articuno.

Zell Dincht says, "How did that happen?"

Squall the Mew says, "[I can transform... be human... ]"

Edea Kramer says, "[SeeD is the enemy.]"

Raijin says, "[bit off... something big... ran from it.]"

Flynn says, "[why would you want to be a human?]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[enemy?]"

Edea Kramer says, "[yes, the wish to destroy us.]"

Seifer Almasy blinks, a pale memory flooding to him about the SeeD test.

Edea Kramer says, "[cause us pain.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[destroy us?]"

Squall the Mew says, "[I have no.... others of my kind... no future... humans provide love.....]"

Edea Kramer says, "[yes.]"

Seifer Almasy blinks and looks at the mew.

Edea Kramer says, "[love? hah!]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[love...]"

Flynn says, "[humans are a plague.]"

Zell Dincht says, "awww.. poor little Raijin."

Edea Kramer says, "[what do you thing they'd do to you if they found out about you and captured you.]"

Squall the Mew says, "[they wouldn’t....]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[they know...]"

Edea Kramer shudders as some memories come unbidden.

Seifer Almasy doesn't know why he said that, scratching his head with a talon.

Edea Kramer says, "[oh really? all of humanity knows about you or just a select few?]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[SeeD...]"

Squall the Mew says, "[a few...]"

Squall the Mew pulls his paws under himself and stands up.

Edea Kramer remains quiet to let him think about what might happen if other people found out.

Flynn stands up to his full 6 feet next to his mom.

Flynn says, "[Are we going to go home soon?]"

Edea Kramer walks over to Squall and begins use the TMs on Squall.

Edea Kramer says, "[yes, soon.]"

Squall the Mew claws at Edea.

Flynn starts to purr, closing his eyes.

Edea Kramer watches as the collar activates automatically at a higher setting.

Squall the Mew is paralyzed by the shock.

Raijin says, "[I saw some neat bugs on my trip here... why are you in a cage?]"

Edea Kramer uses the first two TMs on Squall, the third erasing pound and prepares to use the last and erase Squall's Transform technique.

Zell Dincht says, "you and your bugs... heh. Well, we can get out now. Come on."

Squall the Mew says, "[don’t.. please....]"

Irvine Kinneas follows the others.

Rinoa Heartilly walks out first.

Raijin waddle along after Zell... the locket on his collar jingling as he walks.

Zell Dincht picks Raijin back up into his arms and cuddles him.

Edea Kramer pays no heed and uses it, overriding the technique.

Seifer Almasy squawks a second, feeling that was a very bad thing... but doesn't know why.

Squall the Mew goes limp.. as his technique is erased.

Flynn says, "[when do you wish me to work on transporting them?]"

Rinoa Heartilly looks around, wondering where Squall might be.

Edea Kramer says, "[tomorrow.]"

Flynn says, "[yes mother. What are your orders now?]"

Edea Kramer says, "[let us go, we're done here.]"

Flynn nods.

Squall the Mew says, "[Rinoa......]"

Rinoa Heartilly sighs.

Rinoa Heartilly says, "we have no idea where they are."

Edea Kramer walks out of the room.

Flynn follows after his mom, standing on his hind legs.

Edea Kramer put the Mew down casually as she leaves.

Squall the Mew curls up tightly.

Seifer Almasy hops over to the mew and nudges him with his beak.

Edea Kramer locks the door once she and Flynn are out.

Squall the Mew says, "[go away.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[why are you so familiar?]"

Zell Dincht leans on Irvine as he cuddles the Raichu.

Irvine Kinneas smiles and puts an arm around Zell.

Squall the Mew says, "[go away!!!]"

Seifer Almasy caws unhappily and hops a little away and curls up in his wings.

Seifer Almasy says, "[mean little thing...]"

Raijin says, "[where we going?]"

Zell Dincht says, "to find Squall."

Irvine Kinneas says, "but where to look?"

Rinoa Heartilly starts checking the doors.

Raijin says, "[what is a Squall?]"

Rinoa Heartilly says, "I don't know."

Zell Dincht says, "He's a mew."

Squall the Mew sobs in his way... curled in his ball.

Seifer Almasy hops over again and tries to amuse himself by batting Squall across the room gently with his beak, being rather playful.

Squall the Mew mewls unhappily and sprawls out.

Seifer Almasy looks down at Squall as he sprawls out.

Seifer Almasy says, "[why don't you answer?]"

Squall the Mew says, "[I am sad.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[miss home too?]"

Squall the Mew says, "[no.. she just took away.... my .... ability to pretend I’m human.]"

Raijin says, "[a mew?]"

Seifer Almasy cocks his head.

Seifer Almasy says, "[human?]"

Zell Dincht says, "yes, a pink puffy thing."

Raijin says, "[oh... pink... I remember something pink.]"

Zell Dincht says, "yeah. What else you remember?"

Raijin says, "[your scent...]"

Zell Dincht smiles.

Seifer Almasy says, "[I miss my home... wide spaces in the cold.]"

Squall the Mew curls up tight again... not wanting to be bothered.

Seifer Almasy rolls Squall with his beak playfully again.

Squall the Mew says, "[leave me alone!]"

Squall the Mew beings to glow a faint blue.

Seifer Almasy says, "[why?]"

Squall the Mew says, "[I want to be left alone!!! GO AWAY.]"

Raijin says, "[protect.....]"

Seifer Almasy caws sadly again, not knowing why he wants to talk to the mew in the first place but goes off and curls up again.

Flynn lies down in the throne room next to Edea's throne.

Zell Dincht says, "yeah... you want to protect me."

Zell Dincht strokes between his ears.

Raijin chirrs happily.

Flynn twitches his tail as he purrs there.

Edea Kramer goes about various things as she prepares to return home.

Seifer Almasy says, "[home...]"

Flynn watches her from his spot.

Seifer Almasy caws sadly again as he rests his head on a wing and starts to sleep, thinking of his icy wastes.

Raijin says, "[what is big place ... round place I see in my head?]"

Zell Dincht says, "Garden?"

Raijin says, "[garden. We going there?  Has lots of places to sleep.]"

Zell Dincht says, "When we can. Aww, you still like bugs and sleep.. you never change."

Flynn purrs still, thinking of home.

Irvine Kinneas follows along silently listening to Zell and Raijin, the smile gone from his face.

Zell Dincht strokes Raijin's fur as they walk.

Rinoa Heartilly says, "Oh darn it... why didn't I study the schematics of the prison?"

Seifer Almasy ruffles his feathers in his sleep, longing for home.

Flynn continues to watch Edea.

Squall the Mew begins to yowl in the utter agony of his loss.

Seifer Almasy wakes up from the yowl.

Seifer Almasy says, "[why so loud?]"

Squall the Mew says, "[I will never be able to change my form again.]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[why?]"

Squall the Mew says, "[stupid bird.....  your fault!]"

Seifer Almasy blinks.

Seifer Almasy says, "[my fault?]"

Squall the Mew says, "[I was caught trying to free you.....]"

Squall the Mew beings to glow blue as his psychic power builds.

Seifer Almasy caws sadly, not sure why he's so upset over Squall being mad at him.

Flynn gets up on all fours and walks over to Edea.

Zell Dincht pets Raijin and sits down when they find a place.

Flynn says, "[need help?]"

Edea Kramer says, "[sure.]"

Edea Kramer smiles as she instructs Flynn on what to do.

Flynn purrs more, glad he can do more to please his mom.

Squall the Mew small objects begin to lift and float lazily about as Squall's rage and agony is converted into raw energy.

Zell Dincht says, "poor little Raichu... will you be able to heal?"

Flynn does everything his mom tells him to do.

Irvine Kinneas sits down beside Zell.

Raijin says, "[tail not come back ever.......   cuts go away.]"

Seifer Almasy looks around as objects start to float.

Zell Dincht says, "poor tail."

Rinoa Heartilly pats the Raichu as well.

Raijin says, "[big cat bit tail off.]"

Zell Dincht says, "a Persian?"

Raijin says, "[cat... big cat.... Persian.....  tan and brown.]"

Flynn finishes it and looks to his mom.

Squall the Mew releases a psywave.... which while felt through the complex... only does minor damage at the epicenter.

Seifer Almasy squawks as he gets hurt from the wave, the other two rare birds waking and squawking as well.

Edea Kramer smiles at Flynn and then feels the psywave.

Flynn jumps a second as the psywave hits.

Flynn says, "[what was that?]"

Edea Kramer says, "[psywave, one of the techniques I taught our little mew. it has great potential.]"

Flynn nods.

Flynn says, "[yes mother.]"

Raijin feels his fur stand on end.

Zell Dincht says, "what the?"

Rinoa Heartilly says, "I think it was a psywave."

Irvine Kinneas says, "Hell was that?"

Irvine Kinneas completes Zell's thought.

Seifer Almasy says, "[that hurt!]"

Seifer Almasy flutters around the room unhappily.

Squall the Mew says, "[stupid bird.... ]"

Seifer Almasy looks down at Squall.

Seifer Almasy says, "[huh?]"

Squall the Mew says, "[I have lost everything.... twice now because of you..... ]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[what do you mean?]"

Seifer Almasy manages to land again.

Squall the Mew says, "[I do not wish to be here....... ]"

Seifer Almasy says, "[twice?]"

Flynn stands on all fours next to Edea.

Squall the Mew walks over to the door to the room and looks at it.

Raijin squiggles out of Zell's arms and heads down the hallway.

Zell Dincht says, "Raijin?"

Zell Dincht gets up and follows after him.

Squall the Mew swats his tail back and forth and stares at the door.

Seifer Almasy looks over at Squall and cocks his head.

Seifer Almasy says, "[door never opens till she comes.]"

Squall the Mew continues to stare at the door as it begins to shake on its hinges, the metal crinkling slightly as he uses his psychic abilities against it.

Seifer Almasy caws at the shaking door.

Seifer Almasy says, "[what is it doing?]"

Raijin Waddles down the hallway and makes a left turn... keeping up his pace.

Edea Kramer says, "That should take care of our preparations, let's go check on our little mew shall we?"

Squall the Mew says, "[I’m making it open stupid.]"

Flynn says, "[as you wish mother.]"

Rinoa Heartilly follows after Zell.

Seifer Almasy says, "[how?]"

Edea Kramer walks out the room, making her way to where the Mew is.

Squall the Mew causes the door to buckle slightly.... but begins panting from the exertion.

Irvine Kinneas follows as well, still quiet.

Raijin stops at a door and scrabbles at it.

Flynn follows after his mom, still on all fours.

Zell Dincht catches up to Raijin.

Zell Dincht says, "What are you doing?"

Rinoa Heartilly catches up to Zell, panting a little.

Raijin says, "[Outside.]"

Seifer Almasy caws from behind the door.

Zell Dincht says, "man! I think we found the birds!"

Irvine Kinneas manages to smile.

Raijin says, "[I smell snow...]"

Flynn gets close to the door and spots the Raichu and the SeeDs.

Flynn says, "[mother! SeeDs escaped!]"

Raijin whirls on the bird thing... and gives it a modest thundershock.

Edea Kramer says, "[get them!]"

Zell Dincht picks Raijin up and punches the door lock to break it.

Flynn squawks as he is shocked.

Flynn says, "[yes mother.]"

Squall the Mew is nearly smacked as the now brittle door swings open.

Flynn charges at them and swipes at Raijin in Zell's arms.

Raijin can’t use any attacks cuz Zell picked him up... and squirms to be put down.

Seifer Almasy squawks and picks the mew up in his beak, automatically protecting him with no thought as to why.

Edea Kramer shifts to her pokeform, unused to being a Chansey.

Zell Dincht says, "Woah.. a Chansey!"

Edea Kramer says, "[open the warp!]"

Zell Dincht puts Raijin down and shifts into his pokeform, removing his clothing.

Flynn says, "[yes mother.]"

Squall the Mew wiggles his legs.. as he always does when someone picks him up by the tail.

Seifer Almasy flies out of the room with the other two birds, carrying the mew.

Raijin charges at the bird thing he sees and sends more electricity into it.

Flynn does as she commands and opens the warp, sucking the three birds and the mew in automatically, and claws Raijin after being shocked.

Zell Dincht is sucked into the warp next and cries out.

Raijin gets clawed pretty badly .

Seifer Almasy caws and drops the mew as he goes into the warp.

Irvine Kinneas shifts as well when he sees Zell shift.

Raijin is pulled into the warp... bleeding quite badly but still wanting to fight.

Edea Kramer releases the Sorceress powers as she exits Edea's body.

Rinoa Heartilly cries out as she absorbs the power and shifts into her brand new pokeform.. getting pulled into the warp as well.

Irvine Kinneas charges into the warp after Zell, not minding the fact that he'd be pulled in anyway.
