EoS: Hey, guys, Lauren said that the new popularity contest was out, but it was not on the profile at the time. It's up now, though. So please respond!

Lauren: Sorry, I kind of jumped the gun on that one.

Toonlink77:

EoS: Don't worry about it.

TheLazyRiver:

Lauren: Your argument is meaningless. Humans, amoeba, animals, all of those things are nothing to me. They all are restrained by the limits of their own abilities…

TheDragonsInferno:

EoS: Thanks!

Amalgam24:

Lauren: Well, you can vote for her now.

Moemon Ranger: Memories of Oblivia Revoir

Chapter 13

"You used me for your own goals…" Raikou said, grinning wickedly. "Now, I will return the favor."

"I'm sorry…" Another voice said, Raikou turning her head. "But I cannot allow that."

"Tsubasa!" Petal glared.

"Tsubasa?" Alaude asked, shocked. "What are you doing?"

"Simple." Tsubasa said, smiling. "I'm helping the Moemon Pinchers with their goals."

"Why would you do something like that?" Alaude glared. "The Moemon Pinchers are trying to control moemon!"

"Mayby." Tsubasa said, nodding. "However, with their power, the monolith that I search for will no longer be out of my reach."

"Why you…" Raikou growled, glaring at Tsubasa. "You're the one who destroyed my monolith…"

Raikou, enraged, charged at Tsubasa, her body glowing with electricity.

"Now now, Raikou, no need for something like that." A voice called. Raikou was suddenly stopped in her tracks by a new figure, who was holding her back with one hand. This figure was wearing a black cloak, most of their body obscured, and a white mask over their face. The mask had a black line drawn down the left eye.

"You…" Raikou growled. "You're… draining my energy…"

"Yes." The masked figure said, nodding. They turned to Tsubasa. "Is this acceptable?"

"Yes." Tsubasa said, nodding. "It will do." Tsubasa turned to Blue Eyes.

"We're leaving." Tsubasa glared. "Now."

"I don't take orders from you." Blue Eyes glared.

"We're leaving, or my masked friend over there can let Raikou have her strength back, and we'll see what she does to you and the rest of your friends."

"…Well…" Blue Eyes said, her face going pale. "I-I guess we can go…"

"Right." Tsubasa said, nodding, snapping her fingers, and she, the pinchers, and the masked figure disappeared.

"Who was that with her?" Alaude asked, frowning. "Was that Aurore?"

"I doubt it…" Petal said, frowning. "From what I know of him, I don't think Aurore is the kind of person who would loyally follow orders. I feel like he would be more likely to control events the way he would like…"

"I see…" Alaude said, frowning. "What are we going to do about Raikou?"

"Raikou will see to herself." Raikou growled. "My strength has returned, and now I will seek out those Moemon Pinchers and make them pay."

Raikou released a howl like a thunderclap, and jumped down the tower, disappearing like a lightning bolt.

"Well now, it seemed to be disappointing, but at least we managed to protect the tower." Alaude said, smiling. "Mission clear! Now, let's place a call in to the ranger union, and…"

Alaude turned to the controls, which had been utterly destroyed by the battle.

"Yeah, sorry about that, we don't know how to hold back." Kana grinned.

"This isn't a laughing matter!" Alaude exclaimed. "This is a major problem… Now, the rangers won't be able to help us…"

Alaude inhaled, then exhaled.

"Fine." Alaude said, frowning. "I guess I just have to go see what I should do next."

"Wh-what?" Petal asked, frowning.

"I know a guy." Alaude said, frowning. "He lives in Tilt Village. I think I can go see him, and see if he has anything that can help me."

"Well, you do that." Kana said, frowning. "Meanwhile, I have to go get some sleep."

"Yeah, me too…" Kaila yawned. "Right, Rui?"

"Yeah, I guess…" Rui said, nodding. "It's starting to get late."

"Well, fine then." Alaude said, frowning. "We'll have to go back to my house then, and get some rest."

"…Right." Petal said, frowning. Something about Alaude just bugs me…

"Well, hello there Kellyn." Blue Eyes said, walking into Kellyn's cell, smiling. "How are you feeling?"

"…Not as good as I was when you weren't here." Kellyn said dryly.

"Oh, how cruel…" Blue Eyes said, smiling playfully. "And here I was going to tell you some good news… That friend of yours, the ranger… She's alive after all, it seems."

"What?" Kellyn asked, shocked.

"But don't get your hopes up." Blue Eyes smiled. "I'll eliminate her long before you'll ever get to see her again."

"Good luck." Kellyn scoffed, smirking. "That girl is like a demon… And you won't know it until she's mauled you to shreds."

"We're back!" Pichu said, smiling, the group walking back into the house just as the sun set.

"Got anything to eat?" Alaude asked, smiling.

"Of course." Leanne said, smiling.

"So, dad, was the radio tower working? Did you send the message?" Kelsi asked excitedly.

"Unfortunately, no…" Alaude said, frowning. "Those two dragon wannabes blew the systems to kingdom come. We'll have to work day and night to get it functioning again."

"Well, leave it to me, dad!" Kelsi said, grinning. "I'm the tech genius, after all!"

"Yeah, you are." Alaude said, smiling. "Leanne, before dinner, I need to go get something from my room."

"Oh, that's nice." Leanne said, smiling.

"I'll come with you, master." Pikachu said, smiling. The two headed up the stairs to Alaude's room.

"So, you're really going?" Pikachu asked, frowning.

"Yeah…" Alaude said, frowning. He walked over to his closet, and took out a long leather jacket. He removed his ranger uniform, and replaced it with a buttoned up red shirt and faded jeans. Draped the jacket over his body, putting his hands into the sleeves.

"Master, I'm going to come with you." Pikachu said, frowning. "You know I will."

"Yeah, no getting around it…" Alaude said, frowning. "I really enjoyed my peaceful life, but I guess to protect my family, I'll become as powerful as a demon once more."

Alaude reached into a drawer, and withdrew five moeballs. He placed them on his belt, and walked over to the window.

"The stars are beautiful…" Alaude said, smiling wistfully. "If that woman has gotten involved, then I don't have any choice."

Alaude turned away from the window.

"We're going." Alaude said, frowning. "Wait for me, Leanne, Kelsi, I will return soon."

Alaude turned and leapt out of the window, Pikachu following after him.

EoS: Interesting...

Lauren: Very interesting...
