Lore Of Yandor #7

The enchanted decay is a mysterious virus/disease/curse, no one really knows exactly what it is but they do know that it's a very dangerous disease to deal with for both the infected and uninfected. It can be deadly but it's uncommon for death to occur. It affects the brain, physical attributes and appearance. It changes the body to look more skeletal but with a demonic look as well. They are commonly referred to as Malfarians. The transformation is slow but once it finishes the infected go completely feral and kill everything, even each other. Malfarians have no known weaknesses and are immensely powerful. As the transformation progresses the infected will randomly do things that would be considered feral, such as lashing out at others, roaring, growling, grunting for no reason while talking, or going crazy for a while then passing out, and of course their appearance will change more. There's no known cure and only one way to suppress it. There's a special plant that suppresses it, it's called verdinia. It has light blue leaves that glisten and it has to be consumed for it to take effect. Unfortunately, it is a very rare plant that is extremely difficult to procure, even through gardening. In fact, a of recent times, farmers are no longer permitted to grow it due to endangering complications with it. Though luckily, the enchanted decay is an uncommon disease.

Age of Zezula: Year 780: Location: Glimmerstein: Club Luminum

All of Team Eternity entered the club once more, there were less pokemon in the club this time making it easier for them to get up to Aeron.

Aeron had his headphones on and was messing with the soundboard as they entered the dj station.

Havan dropped the crate of nactvite on the floor. "We got your nactvite Aeron!" he shouted, expecting Aeron to just not listen as always.

Aeron looked over at him and motioned his head towards the door in the back of the dj station. "Put it in there why don't ya?!" he commanded and continued with what he was doing.

Havan picked up the nactvite and went through the door, dropped the crate in the room and came back out.

Sheila stepped forward. "Now where's our reward?" she asked. "I hope it's as worthwhile as you said it was, because we really need it."

Aeron just scoffed and smirked. "What reward?" he gave a fake confused look. "I didn't plan on rewarding anyone for anything."

Sheila gave a perplexed expression. "What?! What do you mean by what reward?"

"Yeah like what the heck man?!" Court commented. "You can't just not give us anything for risking our butts."

Aeron stopped paying attention to them and leaned over to his microphone. "AALLLLLRRIIGHHTT! ARE YOU READY FOR THIS NEXT KICK ASS BEAT?!" he announced as he started to play more fast-paced electro dance music.

Sheila crossed her arms in annoyance. "Asshole," she whispered to herself.

Havan shook his head. "Normally, I wouldn't mind not receiving anything for my heroic deeds, but for what we had to go through I don't hold the same thought for," Havan stated. "We do deserve something for us helping you."

Aeron just nodded his head along with the music.

Niles stepped up next to Sheila. "We went out of our way to help you with your job and you said you'd reward us…" he attempted to get Aeron's attention. "We almost died on your mission for fuck's sake!"

"Yeah and Naoto was captured by the Fireforged!" Jessica jumped into the conversation.

Still, Aeron had no intention in listening to their argument and turned up the volume to the music to shut them out.

Tuba shrugged quietly. "Aeron seems like he's just going to ignore us until we leave," he stated. "He's not known to be generous, like, at all."

Sheila wasn't ready to just give up. "No, we will get something, for Naoto's sake!" she said as she pulled off Aeron's headphones.

He gave an angered expression as he stood up. "Fine, I have something for you," He took an album of the table he was sitting at and threw it to Sheila. "It's worthwhile."

Sheila looked at it and was not satisfied one bit. "You… god dammit."

Everyone walked up to Sheila to look at what she was given.

Niles sighed. "He gave us his album as a reward."

"Well his music can be pretty good at least," Court shrugged.

Havan rolled his eyes. "But not worth our efforts and not enough to help save Naoto."

"I mean, maybe the Fireforged like his type of music?" Court responded. "It's possible."

"No…" Havan face palmed. "No they don't."

Aeron looked baffled. "I don't see why you're complaining. It's one of my albums… for free," he nodded his head slowly. "I've never been any more generous in my life."

"We should just go guys, he'll never give us a real reward," Tuba told everyone.

Aeron raised his brows. "Yeah, you guys should leave now," he commanded. "Before I call security."

Everyone remained stagnant for a moment and Aeron just shook his head.

Sheila threw the album on the ground and it shattered. "But why did you have to do this to us?" she asked angrily. "We needed something like poke that could actually help us. Not your damn album for free."

Aeron threw his arms back behind his head. "Because it's easy to swindle a bunch of E rank nobodies," he responded rather confidently. "Ain't nobody gives a shit about what happens to you and your friends, so I can get away with it. Now do me a another favor and get the hell out of here!"

Havan scoffed in annoyance at that comment. "I'll have you know that I've defeated many more criminals than the fans you'll ever have," he retorted.

"Oh hohoho you…" Aeron was about ready to attack him but stopped himself. "Forget it, just leave this damn club already," he picked up an earpiece and microphone that was lying on the table. "Security! I have some annoying pokemon up here and they are refusing to leave."

As Aeron put his headphones back on and picked up his microphone Sheila unplugged the power cords to the soundboard and the stereos. "You're not getting away from this so easily!"

Aeron jumped up and threw his headphones down. "Alright! You want to dance!? Oh I'll dance alright!" he plugged the power cords back in and the intense electro music came back on. "But you can't dance without some tunes gurly! You punks are about to get as roasted as the dance floor!"

Everyone got into a fighting stance and the dance began.

Havan was already expecting a fight. "Close-combat!" he shouted as he got up close to Aeron and before his fist was swung Aeron had moved out of the way and Havan ended up breaking half of the sound equipment, distorting the music a bit.

No one in the crowd even noticed they were fighting yet.

"Toxic!' Sheila announced as she launched out dark purple liquid towards Aeron which completely missed him and went out the broken window and hit a pokemon that was dancing who immediately threw up and ran into the bathroom.

Jessica was clearly shaking. "I-i don't ever fight but I'll do my best!" she tried to build up confidence. "Tickle!" she announced and she walked up to Aeron and tickled him with her tail making him laugh.

"What ha-t-ha-the!" Aeron said while trying not to laugh. "Brutal-Swing!" he yelled as he swung his tail around to hit everyone in the room.

He did manage to hit everyone, knocking Niles and Havan onto the ground. Tuba and Jessica were thrown through the window and onto the dance floor which cracked from the impact, and both Court and Sheila were sent flying into the big disco ball tearing it off its wire and breaking it in half.

Everyone besides the bouncers in the club all ran out into the streets.

Niles got up and saw that Aeron was just laughing after what he did to his enemies. "You're going to regret that!" Niles exclaimed. "Mega drain!"

He charged up his mega drain and shot out super bright green energy at Aeron which immediately sucked out enough of his life force to render him unconscious.

"Wow…" Niles said, surprised he just one-shot Aeron. "Didn't think that I'd actually make him regret what he did."

But the fight wasn't over yet as the two golurk bouncers from before charged them. One went up to where Havan and Niles were and the other one stayed at the dance floor.

Tuba managed to get up before they could do anything. "Night slash!" he announced as he ran up to the one closest to him and slashed at the golurk with his claws charged up with dark energy, knocking the golurk to the side and onto his knees.

The golurk got up slowly and glared at Tuba. "High horsepower!" he shouted as he attempted to slam his body full-force into Tuba. Luckily Tuba ran right between the golurk's legs causing him to just slam into the wall.

The other golurk's fist became enveloped in darkness as he swung it at Havan which he grabbed before it could collide into him and kicked the golurk into the other half of the soundboard which broke it and the music shut down.

Court finally managed to recover from the rather violent result of Aeron's brutal swing and readied to make a move seeing the opportunity to take out the weakened golurk. "Scald!" he yelled as he shot forth boiling water from his mouth which splashed into the golurk, knocking them out.

Havan was about to go for a Stone edge attack but the sound of a certain mega-absol's yell of anger stopped him.

"What in the name of Arceus is happening in my club!" Lumen shouted angrily as he rushed into the room through the doors of the dj station. "Explain yourselves. Now!"

Niles coughed. "Well, u-urrmm…" he tried to think of something. "Look miss, w-"

"Miss! Miss!?" Lumen exclaimed with a perplexed face. "Don't you know who I am darling?!"

"You're Lumen aren't you, I didn't know you owned a club," Niles discerned. "I mean it's the first time I've seen you before and you looked like a female, it's perfectly reasonable that I'd mistak-"

"I don't want to hear your excuses for anything! Tell me what happened before I give you a hedge trimming!" Lumen demanded. "Also, how did you not come to the conclusion that this is my club when it's underneath the COY hall. What other pokemon would locate a nightclub here!?"

"Ok. ok. So Aeron and my team got into a fight and we ended up breaking a few things," Niles told him.

Lumen looked at the more than few things that were annihilated in the brawl.

Niles shrugged. "A lot of things… But look, we wouldn't have gotten in this fight if Aeron wasn't such an asshole," he explained.

Lumen sighed. "Of course Aeron would be the reason why, he's such a stuck up bastard all the damn time. I mean look at him lying on the floor like he owns the place," he said as he gestured his hand at Aeron.

As if on que, Aeron regained his consciousness and got up. "Don't start believing whatever this stupid kid says Lumen," he shook his head and gave a cocky smirk. "They challenged me to a fight even after I told them to leave. And I'd never be a coward and back out of a challenge."

Lumen raised an eyebrow. "So it's the mercenary band's fault then?"

By now the rest of Team Eternity walked back up to the dj station.

"He wouldn't give us the proper reward for his mission that we completed and we kept asking for one, he did give us something but it was not the correct award at all," Sheila defended.

Lumen put his hand on his head. "He gave you his album for free didn't he?" he predicted.

Everyone nodded their head and Aeron scoffed. "Yeah and it's totally 100% worth it and you know it Lumen, my music is used in your club for a reason," Aeron smugly stated.

Lumen laughed in amusement. "No one would want your album even for free, Your music is meant for dancing to in a club and not for listening to personally," he stated. "What rank was the mission anyways?"

"C-ranked," Sheila answered.

"Yeah your smarmy album isn't a C-rank reward Aeron, but whatever the case may be you all took part in the destruction of my club," Lumen told them. "So… Aeron you'll have to pay for all of it and Team Eternity you'll clean it all up."

Jessica didn't seem to mind cleaning up the club. "That's fine, I like to clean anyway. I could make it spotless in less than an hour!" She said trying to raise the spirits of her team.

"Except we shouldn't be doing that right now, since we have a friend of ours to rescue," Court informed her. "We need all the time we can get."

"Yeah… I guess so."

Aeron gave a baffled expression. "Why do I have to pay for it?!" he asked angrily.

"Because I doubt an E-rank team has anywhere near 2,200,000 poke," Lumen presumed.

Aeron spat out in surprise at the price. "That's like almost all of what I can earn in a year," he complained.

Lumen shrugged. "Well then I hope you knew how to save poke then, which I'm guessing you didn't sand-for-brains, considering that you were dumb enough to break a COY law," he crossed his arms. "You must give a proper reward for an official mission handed out to mercenaries."

Aeron just stood there in silence while his right eye twitched. "Says the horrible representative."

Lumen glared at him. "If you don't shut your pretty little mouth I'll make Team Eternity use you as a mop for all that glass down there," he threatened. "Anyways, I think I'm done here."

Lumen was about to walk away but was stopped by Sheila. "You can't make us clean all this up, it'll take hours!" she exclaimed. "We can't be wasting our time like this, not now!"

Lumen looked at her confused. "What do you mean "Waste of time"? What could be more important than cleaning up your mess rather than spending time in prison?" he asked. "You're lucky I didn't make you pay for half of it."

Sheila gave a saddened expression. "Naoto's going to die if we do, we can't just let him die without even trying," she said solemnly. "The Fireforged won't keep him alive for that long and we still don't even know where he even is and not only that but we need more help to actually save him! Doesn't help that we couldn't even get a decent reward from Aeron!"

Lumen's face turned to that of guilt. "O-oh, I see, a friend in danger of being killed by the Fireforged," he thought for a moment. "I suppose I shouldn't force you to clean up any of this, in all honesty it was probably all Aeron's fault anyways so I'll make him clean it up."

Aeron stomped his foot. "What!? Why the fuck do I have to do everything now?" he complained. "Their the ones who starte-"

Lumen backhanded him, knocking him to the ground. "I don't want to hear you complain like a hatchling with your "but they started it!" shit!" he exclaimed as Aeron stomped down the stairs rubbing his bruise.

"Alright my fabulous mercenaries I'll help you however I can to find your ally. First I'll give you 5,000 poke, think of it as the proper reward for that mission, second, I can find a mercenary band to help, and third, I know of a way to track the location of your friend."

Team Eternity was shocked that Lumen suddenly wanted to help them.

"T-thanks Lumen we appreciate your sudden kindness but why do you care to help anyways?" Jessica asked.

"Yeah, weren't we just a bunch of no good kids to you, like a minute ago?" Court questioned.

Lumen just smiled. "Well for one, I don't want to be the reason why your friend dies by forcing you to clean my club. I also have no reason not to help you guys unless I was a selfish mon, which I'm not as you can see," he answered. "I'll get to tracking the location of Naoto for you now."

He held out a small golden disc-like object and pressed the button in the middle of it. In an instant flash of light, a laptop appeared in his hand. "Now I just need to find the Mercenary badge id number for Naoto and to put that in this little marvelous tracker." He took out a device that looked like a compass.

"Did he just teleport a laptop to himself?" Niles asked curiously.

"That's Acron technology for you, although it's just the same tech that's used in the warp pads so it's not that surprising," Tuba nonchalantly stated.

"Ah… alright then."

It's not like all this teleportation stuff was dreamt of in my world or anything… thought Niles.

Lumen put Naoto's mercenary badge id number into the tracking device. "All you have to do is go to where the green dot is and hope to Arceus that the badge is actually close to Naoto's location and not just lying in the boonies or something," He handed the device to Niles. "And here's the 5,000 poke," he also handed that to Niles.

"I don't think we can thank you enough," Sheila said.

"Oh no the pleasures all mine darlings, I just hope it's not all for naught," Lumen said. "I'll go ahead and try to find a mercenary team to help out. Good luck!"

Lumen left the club through the doors he came through before.

"Alright now we can actually go out and recruit some teammates, we all know what we're doing right?" Niles asked the team.

Everyone nodded.

"Then let's get to work!"

Before anyone left for their mission a shady looking scraggy stopped them. He was wearing a red bandanna over his left eye. "You're Team Eternity correct?" he questioned.

"Yeah we are…" Havan told him. "Do you need us to help you or something?"

The scrafty looked around for a bit before speaking. "Where's Naoto?" he asked with a suspicious gaze.

"He's been captured by the Fireforged, at the moment we are trying to find pokemon to join our team to help us in our efforts to save him," Havan informed him.

The scraggy turned back, waited for a bit, then turned back around. "Then you've already found one," he said. "Name's Shinji."

"Fantastic! Welcome to the team!" Sheila said.

Niles sighed. "Alright, now we can go do our missions. Shinji, you can just join either one," he told everyone. "We'll meet up in the COY hall of this city."

Age of Zezula: Year 780: Location: Croudor Province: Gohirk Quarry (a Fireforged stronghold)

Naoto was locked up in a nactvite cage. He looked towards Nilsine and Vaylie.

Nilsine seemed deep in thought.

"Shouldn't you have known of a way to actually lure the salandit and treecko, you did suggest the plan after all," Vaylie rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "We could just go out and try to find them now, rather than wasting our time with this bait and capture plan of yours."

Nilsine looked towards Naoto's mercenary badge and her eyes lit up. "I got it! I remember that mercenaries can talk through their badges to their teammates," she exclaimed. "All I need to know is one of the teammates' names…"

Vaylie shrugged. "I'm on it," she walked over to Naoto and stared into his eyes. "Tell us one of their names now! Don't make us resort to torture in order for you to tell us."

Naoto thought for a moment. "Torture won't be necessary," he said. "Havan is the name of that gallade that was with us."

"Huh, can't say I'm glad I didn't have to resort to violent methods of interrogation," Vaylie stated. "Nilsine!"

"What?" Nilsine looked over at her

"Try using the name "Havan"."

Nilsine picked up the badge. "Hopefully this thing isn't tailored to respond only to mercenaries that own it," she wondered as she touched the front of the badge. "I guess I would say contact Havan…"

The eyes of the zekrom on the badge glowed and Nilsine held it closer to her mouth. "Am I speaking to a "Havan"?" she asked.

"Who are you?" Havan questioned through the badge. "Your voice sounds familiar…"

"Ha! That's because we've met before, in the Flaming Pass…" Nilsine responded.

"Nilsine!"

"Yep, now… I have an offer that I'd like to offer to your salandit and treecko friends," Nilsine told him. "They are to turn themselves in to us and we'll let your mienfoo friend go, no harm done. If they refuse then we'll have to give him quite a gruesome fate."

Havan had to discuss it with Niles and Sheila before they came to a conclusion. "We'll accept your deal so long as you tell us where you plan to meet up," he said.

Vaylie walked over to Nilsine. "We shouldn't tell them where we're at," she suggested. "I feel that they're lying."

Nilsine placed her other hand under her chin in thought. "But I offered this deal for a reason you know? Why make them try to find us and waste our time?" she gave a quizzical look. "You always seem to disagree with my plans."

"Because I feel that we should slowly torture their friend while they try to find us, as a sort of punishment of our own for hurting Graves. Mother can't have all the fun you know," she explained her reasoning.

"I see…" she looked back at the badge. "You hear that Havan, the longer you take, the more pain your friend endures, you best hurry now, ta-ta!" she put the badge back on the table and sat down. "I'll have to prepare some traps in this quarry, just to be careful if they try to fight us rather than going through with the deal."

Vaylie snickered. "And I'll deal with the prisoner," she cracked her knuckles. "First round of pain on me."

Naoto hoped to Arceus that his team would be able to find him quickly.

Age of Zezula: Year 780: Location: Tesparia Province: Linus village

Niles, Sheila, and Havan knocked on the door of Sornos's rather shabby house in the quaint village.

"Let's just hope that Nilsine and whomever is with her don't plan on us fighting back with the help of many pokemon," Niles said.

After hearing the shuffling footsteps of the midnight-form lycanroc the door was opened. "Why have you disturbed my slumber?" he asked. "I never asked for any visitors."

Sheila clasped her hands together. "We need your help Sornos, I know that you'll be willing to help us save our friend from the Fireforged," she explained. "An old mercenary like you ought to be a great teammate for us."

Sornos stood there silently for a moment.

"You don't have to actually join our team, you could just help in the rescue mission then go back to your normal life," Niles told him.

"And it'd be nice to have someone else more mature on the team that knows a thing or two about being a mercenary," Havan added.

Sornos lifted his head up. "Very well, I'll lend you my aid for this mission, and I'll think about the recruitment offer after we save your friend."

"Alight! Now let's hope that the others were able to find some more help," Sheila stated happily.

Age of Zezula: Year 780: Location: Glimmerstein COY Hall

When Niles, Sheila, Havan, and Sornos all warped into the hall they saw that the rest of team Eternity managed to find 2 new teammates. A male, girafarig and a female, murkrow.

Julie was currently enrolling them into the system at her desk. "There you go, both Rukous and Lulu are now official members of Team Eternity," she said. "Oh and look over there, yet another new member I'm guessing?"

She looked at Sornos who just stared back.

Sheila shook her head. "Nah, he's just going to help us on our rescue mission, but he may end up joining," she explained to Julie.

The girafarig walked over to Niles. "So you must be Niles, the leader of my team, as I was told," he said. "My name is Rukous, nice to meet you."

Niles nodded. "Sure am Rukous, nice to meet you as well, and who's the murkrow?" Niles looked towards the murkrow that was talking with Court and Jessica.

"Her name is Lulu," Rukous informed him.

"That's cool that you are a singer, Court, and that you're a cook, Jessica," Lulu said. "I myself am quite the detective, as both my parents were great detectives. You've probably never heard of them since you're both from the Eskor Province though."

"If you're a good detective, could you figure out why I have golden spikes?" Court questioned.

"That's not a thing I can figure out," Lulu said, scratching her head.

"Well, it's because I'm a ray of sunshine in Yandor!" Court said confidently.

"That's as good of an answer as any I guess," Lulu stated.

Jessica grinned. "And I'd believe it!" she exclaimed.

Lumen then walked down the stairs from his office. "So I did find a mercenary band that'll help out. Their team name is Team Fate, a rank B team and they'll be here soon." he informed everyone. "And how fabulous is it that you guys already have 11 members, your team got popular quickly, almost as quickly as I did when I first started to perform."

"Yeah we have got quite the team right now, but let's not get cocky or anything. I feel that the Fireforged don't plan on going easy on us when we challenge them," Niles warned. "I can't imagine what their leader will do after we do this and possibly succeed."

"Oh they will probably be out for our blood, so we better hope we can handle the rest of the Fireforged," Lulu commented. "From what I know about them, they're easily angered."

"Just what we needed to hear," Havan said. "Let them come after us, the villains always lose at the end of most fairy tales. We need not fear such raiders."

"Hey, we do have lots of help but I won't say anything that would jinx it this time," Court added. "I don't feel like being guilty of that again. So to be contrary, we're totally gonna die."

The fabled Oc Form lies beneath

OC Rules

1. The classic. No Mary or Gary Stues. You can submit some very skilled and/or powerful OCs, but you must give them at least 2 or 3 weaknesses.

2. There's a bar of quality that you must pass in order for your OC to be accepted. This is because I get some OCs here and there that lack any substance at all, and boy is it hard to work with that. Luckily for you guys, the bar isn't that high and you have unlimited attempts anyways (please no spam though).

3. No human turned pokemon OCs.

4. I will not accept incomplete OCs or OCs that just do not fit into the world of Yandor.

5. No main villains/antagonists. I'm very iffy about them in general, as they're hard to fit into the story.

6. PM your OCs please. I'd much rather see reviews in the review section over them. I know this hurts the guests, but it's really not that difficult to set up an account. If you do end up sending one in the reviews for whatever reason, the only way I'll accept them is if you clearly put time and effort into it.

7. Fair warning, no character is safe from death. Since, I roll dice to determine battle and choice outcomes. However, I may overrule the dice on certain occasions. In short, I'll try to do what is best for the story.
