Ah! Sorry for the delay! I meant to update much earlier, but I never got around to it... Well, here we are! I hope you like it!
FIC!
"The earthquakes have stopped."
The sudden realization hit Regirock as he jerked his head up, hair rustling as he looked around him in mild surprise. The ex-legendary stood up straight, glancing around him suspiciously as if he expected another rumble to knock him off of his feet. Nothing came, only silence as the now human started to walk around the room.
Sherrin stared after him, red eyes bored as she kept her arms folded and head tilted downwards, a firm frown on her face. "I wouldn't walk around quite yet, Regirock." Her statement was only replied with a smirk, a wave of the hand and a rolling of his tangerine eyes before the ex-legendary of rocks spoke, voice haughty.
"Please, don't insult me, Sherrin. I'm perfectly capable of walking without hurting myself." As he said this, a piece of ceiling that had fallen during the excessive shaking caught underfoot and he promptly tipped over and landed on his face, legs sprawling awkwardly behind him. Sherrin chuckled lightly behind her hand before gracefully hovering past him, finding no worry in the trip-prone debris that littered the floor.
"I can see that perfectly." She sighed, moving into the hall and observing the silence, well, silently. The psychic turned her head slightly so that she could stare at the man with her wine-colored eyes. "Where do you think the other two are?"
Regirock, spitting out a chunk of plaster and dusting off his hair sat cross legged on the ground, head resting on his palms as he stared at the Gardevoir moodily. "I dunno. Why are you asking me...? You're the psychic."
He had a good point.
"... Amazingly your idiot radar may pick up Regice more accurately than my psychic abilities ever could."
"Well, obvi-wait, that's not true!"
Sherrin ignored his protest and wandered into the hall completely, dress flowing as she then retorted. "So, Regirock... Where does this super radar tell you to go?" She was mostly teasing, and this was only an insult that the most childish would actually fall for... But then again, it was Regirock.
There was a scuffle, the crunch of plaster underfoot and a few swears before Regirock appeared, orange eyes irritated as he attempted to get a chunk of debris out of his hair. "For the last time, Sherrin, I do not have idiot radar!" He folded his arms and snuffed the tall psychic type, nose to the ceiling. "What do you expect me to do? Use my stupidness to pick a random direction? Fine. There." he pointed one hand down the opposite part of the hallway, towards the corner that led to the market. "But seriously, what are the chances-"
"Hey, guys!"
Before the ex-rock legendary could even finish his skeptical statement a pale head had popped around this same corner that he had pointed to, and the cheery voice was automatically identified. Regirock continued to stare, dumbfounded as Sherrin only nodded her head and smiled knowingly.
"See? You pointed out Regice without even looking! Now that is some good idiot radar!"
Regirock's head whipped around and he glared at her. "I do not have idiot radar!"
"Now you wouldn't know that, would you?" She replied coolly.
"I do!"
"So you admit it!"
"No, I mean- that-er, gah!"
Meanwhile, the ex-ice legendary was standing awkwardly in the shadows of the arguing pair, blinking his golden eyes, completely puzzled at the topic in general. There came a point to the bickering that it was basically just a random spewing of insults with grand hand gestures while trying to out-voice the other. There was one thing Regice did realize using the small bowl that was his brain. Sherrin and Regirock reminded him a lot of Cresselia and Darkrai...
"... That was creepy."
Despite the fact that the younger of the humans had whispered this, the other two still managed to hear, and, turning their attention away from their argument they both gave quizzical looks at the ex-ice type. "Eh?" they both asked at the same time, turning to look at each other angrily.
"Don't copy me!" both now human and Gardevoir snarled.
"Stop it!"
"You!"
"What did I just say!?"
"ARG!"
As the two gave one final snarl at each other, they turned away at the same time and folded their arms, taking on identical poses with identical expressions of anger on their faces. Regice resisted the urge to giggle at how silly it looked and only managed not to when Regirock turned his gaze to him.
"Where's Registeel?"
Regice paused for a second, hand on his chin as his gaze went to the ceiling. "Well... I'm not sure."
There came an icy silence from his counterpart, and turning his head to look at the other ex-legendary Regice found that Regirock looked as if he was about to hit the younger human over the head with a blunt object for even admitting that he didn't know where the ex-steel type was.
"WHAT?"
The pale haired human leaned back from the orange haired one, giving his most charming and sheepish grin. He seemed to know-despite his lack of knowledge in any field- that if he didn't play his cards right he would most likely die a long and painful death."Ah... I... don't... know... where... she... went...?"
"You were with her during the earthquakes, at least?" Sherrin inquired, bumping into the tense silence that was sure to end in blood and death. Regice stared at her with wide eyes like she had asked something stupid- which would have been amazing, considering that it was Regice in the first place.
"Of course! But after they stopped- exactly five minutes ago- she ran off, screaming something about her pole..."
There was a dreary and awkward silence.
"... Do you at least know what direction she went in?" Sherrin asked, red eyes pleading for Regirock was starting to shake with his inner rage 'o doom. She was expecting an explosion any second now...
"Towards the main entrance. If we head out we should run into her. Unless of course she fell down the stairs and killed herself or some other type of tragedy has occurred..." Regice said, nodding his head with a puzzled smile on his face. This expression turned into one of fear as Regirock shot him a look that would have made Giratina cry and run to Arceus.
"... Start... running..." Sherrin whispered to the ex-ice type.
"Eh?"
"I've come to realize that Regirock has a certain input via rage. The time it takes for his rage peak to come depends on the person." her red eyes were focused on Regirock as she spoke, who was still giving that look. "I've got exactly seven point three seconds before that. You, my ice-cubed friend, have even less than I do, as you must realize. Registeel seems to have no such number. So..." She checked the clock. "You have two seconds until your painful execution."
"What do yo-"
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, REGICE!"
Time was up, it seemed.
For, before he could even finish his question Regirock had picked up a plank and was now running after the younger man, murder on his mind. Regice, standing there in fear, was made aware of the real situation when Sherrin gave a hissed 'RUN!. And then he did, as fast as his human legs could take him down the hall.
"AYAAAAAA!"
Registeel, coming around the corner with steel pipe in one hand, peered down the hall, eyes blank. Her free hand went to the back of her head as the pole came to rest like a staff, carmine eyes now puzzled as she perked her hearing for the scream she had just heard.
"I DON'T WANNA DIE!!"
... And just in time to see a terrified-about-to-crap-himself Regice fly past, a severely pissed, foaming at the mouth Regirock close behind, plank held over his head as he attempted to bash the ex-ice type with it to complete the murder.
Registeel stood there awkwardly for a moment longer, not even looking over when Sherrin approached. She then gave a weary sigh, moving her hand to brush away her bangs.
"Do... I even want to know?"
Poor, poor Regice. I don't think you want to know, Registeel... Well! I hope you liked! SU out!
