Greninja and Umbreon were still fighting off the undead in the police parking garage. Greninja tossed one over his shoulder into another as Umbreon laid low doing leg sweeps catching them with her shadow to then throw them as hard as she could against a wall or a broken car.
"Any bright idea's from both of you!?" The cycle Dawn found herself in of beating her enemies down only for them to get back up again grew tiresome. Before they could do an effort to restrain them by kunai they got broken out by their friends and got up as nothing happened.
Three of them stormed towards the one in black. Raising her shadow around her she struck at them with a whipping motion with them dodging it not allowing them to get close. She became quite annoyed but unlike her best friend kept her calm in not doing a normally lethal move cause the garage camera's were probably filming this fight.
Greninja formed aura shuriken in between all his available knuckles. Eight shuriken at the ready he stood in a stance to throw them. His girlfriend confused at how sharp and dangerous they looked feared he did what May did.
"What are you planning? I thought no show of deadly force."
"I'll go for the lights. I'll give you some time to do your thing. Make the most of it. Mind the glass."
Warning her not to step on the pieces that might give her position away as he's going to make it her playground. Greninja threw them up first shattering the plastic covers and then breaking the lights housed in them covering them all in darkness apart from the natural light that shone from the garage door opening inside. Umbreon blended in perfectly in the dark as she hit one in the kneecap shattering it before moving on to the next while Greninja closed his eyes increasing his focus and hearing so he can at least hit back in the dark.
A few floors up Glaceon had made her way into the offices where her dads desk stood. All the desks were moved to the side with in the middle the bound cops on the floor.
Her teammates as distraction it was bare apart from her and the people that worked there. May seeing the results of injured officers looked for a sight of her dad. He sat among them looking in better shape than some others. May seeing him in one piece at least felt pure regret.
"Oh dad. I wish I was faster."
"Stay strong girl. We all need you to be at your best." Her spirit encouraging her May recomposed.
"Is everyone ok!?" Glaceon asked the other officers still not fully trusting of the heroine Norman was the sole exception.
"The attackers were here before Greninja and Umbreon appeared on the security screens and they all headed downstairs."
"Let me break you all out first. I got to join my friends."
"They took the keys off us. We can't get away until these things are broken." Norman told her.
"Not a problem! Just don't move!"
Glaceon kneeled down and touched the link of the chain of the handcuffs. Immediately it turned a whitish blue as it froze the cold making the first cop shiver. Frozen solid, she formed an ice baton and with a strike Glaceon broke the first chain leaving the braces on his wrists. She went down the line touching everything before some cops got up.
Norman freed held back the urge to hug his daughter in front of all the others. He barely held it together as it is so he could not imagine how she felt having to hide her emotions to not give away her identity. The ice heroine then jumped out a broken window and scaled the side of the police station back to the parking garage.
The area dark now the only source of light was a long sword the frog made who stood in the middle of the group of enemies circling them. The enemies getting close to him some tripped as their limbs bended in an awkward way.
"Greninja, Umbreon!"
"Finally you're here! Little help please!" The frog screamed at the ice heroine to finally join them.
"At least the numbers are on our side!"
Greninja and Umbreon not knowing what she meant suddenly a bunch of flashlights came storming in down into the garage.
"Turn the lights of the cars on! We need more vision!" The police screaming for some view Dawn herself liked it more than it was.
"Do they have too!?"
"Flareon?" Lucario asking the spirit in the earring the naming convention with eon at the end wanted to know more. Still hiding in the trees, how can someone like her be a part the group causing misery and pain in Veilstone City.
"She's my sister who has fire powers. Me and Glaceon have issues with her cause she always damaged the things we made. Fire, ice and plants don't mix well. But I never thought she'd train a host to fail this bad."
The spirits in Zoey's gem in the necklace explained their relationship and what kind of sibling feud they had. Zoey still having a warriors spirit cursed about a fire user being able to burn her plants.
"Can I give her up to you?"
"Of course." The aura guardian taking on the role of Flareon's opponent away from Leafeon the plan of having at least one aura guardian on a patrol group paid off. They saw all the things in black and Flareon enter the old sawmill while dragging along the officer they followed.
"I'll lure them in the forest. You intercept deal with my 'sister' if she follows me." Zoey going to lure them to a place where she can exploit her power to the fullest Riley did not agree but since it was her 'sibling' was better equipped to deal with the situation and handing it over too the aura guardian.
"Good luck. Be sure to try and get away from them if it is too much." Warning Zoey to get out if it became too much for her the one in green got closer to the sawmill while Riley stayed hidden.
Leafeon standing next to a wall rubbed her hands and took a deep breath. Focusing her mind she then slammed feet I to the ground making a large vine that shot out of the ground smashing the old brick wall leaving a giant hole in the side. Leafeon showing herself on purpose to the masked figures drew their attention before running away.
"Where are you going!? Get back here Leaf and get me off her!"
It was so loud even Riley could hear it while still being hidden. As expected some of the people followed Zoey leaving the hole wide open with Flareon and four figures standing around her with a large group of hostages.
"LEAF! GET BACK HERE I SWEAR TO…"
Before she knew it the figure on her right was struck by a blue sphere crashing into it and creating a smoke screen. Blinded by the smoke a long blue staff hit others around her as she heard grunting and bodies crashing into what sounded like loose logs falling down.
"That blue staff! You're an aura guardian aren't you!?"
Without a word the wolf struck his staff towards the one wearing a flame motive as the woman dodged it and struck him with a low sweep. Swinging his staff horizontally it hit her in the side if the head creating a crack in the golden mask she wore. The mask wearing woman kicked up against his staff kicking it out of his hands. Lucario countered by throwing a punch as Flareon jumped up catching his arm with her legs before pulling him down and put him in an armbar.
Lucario feeling the wrenching on his shoulder used his strength to turn on his back on throw the woman into a wall. Getting up from her flight Lucario heard a voice yell at him once more in distress.
"I knew it! I knew there were some of you here! Since Leafeon was here you have to listen! The woman you're fighting is not my host! She's not even alive! It's some random woman that the necromancer put me on and she's abusing my powers! I'm on her left ear so get me off her!"
"Don't worry! I'll get you out of there!"
The aura guardian promising to help the spirit in the earring the captured police sitting and watching it thought he meant them. Lucario formed a new aura sphere in his hands and threw it at her. The dead woman with the mask in return spat out a fireball colliding with the orb causing a small explosion.
Small flames touched the dry wood pallets around them beginning to simmer. The wood easily catching fire in this area Flareon warned the man she's being forced to be used her powers against.
Lucario formed a new staff and went at her. The woman formed a whip of fire which she then used to strike at the wolf. Deflecting it with his aura he hit her in the stomach with one end of his staff. Flareon shot a new fireball from her mouth, with Lucario slamming the fireball up into the ceiling with his staff.
"And now the building is going to be set on fire!"
The flames around started to pick up heat. Growing bigger and bigger the cops that were tied up tried to find a way to break their chains. Riley realizing time was short fully focused on his opponent. With a swipe off is staff caught her off her feet. Agilely landing on her hands she twisted her wrist to get up and set her hands alight.
Reaching out to the wolf she scratched the spike on his chest. A small burn mark on it he moved back. Flareon raced at him as he then jumped over her before firing a new aura sphere at her downwards. Flareon kicked the sphere back at him up high with Lucario dodging it crashing into the ceiling creating a hole for the smoke to get out of.
Lucario once more ran at her focusing aura in his fists. Coming into contact with her fists the aura gave off some protection but he still felt the heat. Flareon aiming at his head Lucario did the same in return by punching the golden mask.
Hitting the golden mask dead-on it started to crack more. The woman stopped moving as she got kicked in the stomach by Lucario without an attempt to block sending her flying.
"I feel its force over me slipping! I can stop the flow of power to her body! Aim for the mask again!" The real Flareon telling the guardian this he formed an aura sphere and threw it again. The woman still not able to move quickly and use Flareon's natural agility the orb hit her in the chest again launching her into an old machine.
Lucario jumped in closer fists clenched relentlessly beating on the mask in an attempt to damage it more. The golden mask breaking the figure black tendrils shot out of the side from the woman's head. Rising from her body was a black substance escaping out from the ceiling of the sawmill.
No movement coming from her Flareon laid prone on the ground. Lucario bend down and undid the clip on the earring of the woman he fought. The earring off, her hair went from yellow to brown as the golden mask he destroyed that hid the face of the seemingly fresh corpse. Lucario looking around went quickly to the bound cops. Using his staff he broke the chains allowing them to move again. Quickly covering their faces to prevent the smoke going in their lungs Lucario looked for an exit but everywhere he looked he was surrounded by smoke and fire.
"Get Leafeon! I need her host! Then I can safe all of them!"
Flareon telling the guardian that the fire can be put out if she got to a host.
"Zoey. I hope your forest helps you because we desperately need you."
The forest around her having been put to good use Leafeon easily handled all her opponents. Having trapped them in vines and dragging them into the dirt the only thing sticking out were there as the pressure of the vines and soil rendering the masked things incapable of movement. From her spot she saw smoke rise from the direction of the sawmill she spied on before.
"Come on! Come on!"
Moving as fast through the woods as her legs can carry her she occasionally touched a tree that sprouted a vine she could swing on. Getting close to hole she made before she witnessed her plant being burned away and the entire area on fire.
"NO! Lucario! Are you in there!?"
His hearing and perception enhanced with his aura Riley heard her.
"LEAFEON! CATCH! DO WHAT IT SAYS!"
Riley threw the red and orange earring through the fire towards Zoey. Zoey caught it and looked at it.
"Hey sis. What a warm welcome. You got some explaining to do." Hearing her grass spirit say hello to the earring in her hand it began to scream.
"Family reunion comes later! Change out of your grass look and put me on instead!"
Zoey's form being covered by the fire she touched the green gem she had on her necklace her hair turned from green to normal red again. Fidgeting to fit Flareon's gem into her ear she pierced her right lobe biting away the pain before immediately touching it.
"Ok!"
Zoey's hair changed from her normal red to yellow. Her eyes now a deep black with a tiny white pupil she felt quite different. A heat began to build in her chest and the flames she stood close to felt like a light breeze. Her outfit still green the colors contrasted a lot but with getting Flareon's powers instead of Leafeon's the fire spirit commanded her new temporary host.
"Suck all the flames up! When you use my powers you're immune to fire."
Zoey did as she was told as she stepped into a large flame. The flames licking at her feet they did not even tickle her or got a response out of it. Taking a deep breath the fire was slowly becoming less as she sucked it all up. The flames dying down it created a path for the aura guardian to safely guide out the captured cops out of the sawmill. Everyone running out the flames continued to eat away at the abandoned building.
"My stomach hurts though." Zoey feeling a pain on her stomach felt as if she had to unleash the worlds loudest burp.
"Some stomach burn which you'll get used to in time. Now aim high, puff your chest and blow it out in a safe direction!"
Zoey did as told as a giant burst of fire erupted from her mouth. Aiming upwards the orange flame shot up safely into the sky creating a beacon of some sorts too. The fire out now there was still soot on almost everything. Lucario catching his own breath from the fight and smoke he still looked at all the officers.
"Is everyone alright!?" A cop spoke up covered in soot.
"We think so. But that woman…she…"
"Was not alive."
"She was already dead. Someone is desecrating the corpses of those who have been put to rest. Those things that took you were dead too."
"Still, why did they all bring you here?" Leafeon still borrowing Flareon's form and hair it felt weird for the officers to see powers used just a while ago to nearly kill them help them now. Seeing the dread on the cops faces she tried to calm them down.
"I'm in control now. You won't have to worry about her again."
"She's right. Those fire powers will now be aimed at our enemies. Just try and recover for now. We'll stay here till help arrives. For now you're under our protection."
The aura guardian telling cops to try and relieve some of the pain and stress, the large fireball and smoke that rose from the old sawmill most probably gathered the attention of the fire department. Lucario and Leafeon would stay until the cops could all be licked up and moved away from this area.
Seeing Zoey set up a perimeter of vines after hiding and changing back into her original powers Riley's thoughts moved to the other group of guardians.
"Let's hope the other three have more luck."
See you around.
