The Stalkers RPG - Main Action and Team Status Thread [SEASON 3] *SWEET VICTORY!*

[Neo Emolga]

I think it's agreed upon. Let's call this a dynamic entry, and hope I'm not restricted to doing this in the night round.

Exorcise #33 Kanja the Keckleon.

Recommended Listening: Sybrid - Supercharger

You track down Kanja's living space to her apartment in the Sandwoods Apartment complex. During the day, Pokémon are coming and going from here and you move among them through the hallways like one of their own. Among them, you are a shadow with a mission. And they don't suspect a thing.

You find and then break your way into Kanja's apartment, ripping the lock right off the door. Everything is still and silent for now, like the whispering winds before the hurricane. You find her sleeping in her bed, but then she awakens, looking drowsy.

"Oh, it's you," Kanja replies as she sits up, looking groggy. "I'll ignore that intrusion if you Emissaries tell me what-"

But then your hands flare with a white, powerful, evil-destroying energy. Kanja... no, the Enthraller RttnCrps realizes you're not here for questioning or to be tricked by her lies. You're here to ANNIHILATE her.

Kanja's Kecleon body suddenly jolts awake and becomes completely deranged, twisted, and foul like a macabre nightmare zombie. Her screams are unholy and it's clear the puppet disguise is now off. This is the Enthraller you've come to purge.

"ThIs'Ll bE thE LaSt MiSTaKe YoU EvEr MaKe, YOu W̨̩̥͕̱̘̭̺͆ͪ͊̌ͤͭͣ͞r̶̯͕̦̜͖̝̞͍̜̿̑̒ͩͥ̈ͯͦ̚͜e͆̈ͫ͊ͬ̽͋̒͏́͡ ̝͇̥͚̯̤̺͓̙ț̸̨̪́ͬ͐́͌̇̊ͣ̋C̱̝̽͗̆͊̀ͣ̓̚͞H̢͍̖̘̹ͤ̆̇ͫ͐̌̑͂̆ ͈!!" She barks at you with fiendish adrenaline.

Fighting her intimidation, you concentrate on eradicating every last trace of this grotesque Enthraller. Her lies, her misleading and undermining the Southwarren Police Force's efforts, her working against the Emissaries... that all DIES today. Your holy, dispelling light latches onto RttnCrps and starts to burn her, but you know that's only just the beginning. You need to obliterate every last trace of this bastardly horror until there's not a single damn thing left of it.

The apartment bedroom goes dark, cold, bloody, and unholy as RttnCrps uses Kanja's tortured and mislead body in ways that shouldn't be possible for a normal Kecleon to do. She races along the walls, ceiling, and tries to vomit black, shadowy acid at you, but you barrel roll out of the way, grit your teeth, focus your attention, and just continue to BURN her as hard as you can. She howls as her dark soul continues to sizzle, unleashing the most unholy smell you can imagine. But you don't stop. You refuse to stop.

She shrieks and tries to bury her foul, hateful nightmare into your head. It is clear the Enthraller bitch RttnCrps isn't satisfied enough with making Kanja her puppet and using one of Southwarren's own police officers to kill innocent Pokémon. She tries to í̻̳͉̼̦̘͂ͮͧ͜n͕̊̏ͤ͗̓͑́ͅf͚̔ͣ̾͒͐̉͢ȅ̳̭̹̃̔̀ͨͥ͢s̒̋̍̅͌͏t ̘ ͓͉͖̤̽̚͡y̷͍̼͋̓̋̅̉͗o̼̼̎̒͂ͧ͛́ư̝̹͔̈́ṟ̀̾̚ ̟͖͓͡m̡͉̳̗͙ͦ̑ͭͩ͗ͪin̮̜̥͕̽ͬ̑̋d̫̻͍̳̠̎, and for a moment, it latches on and suddenly screams into your soul.

It screams, it burns, and it blurs reality into obscurity for only just a moment, but you continue to fight. You expel it out like the infernal poison it is, and instead of growing weaker, you fight through it. You make RttnCrps burn some more for that, and you make sure it hurts. The screams howl louder, but she doesn't give up even though white, fiend-consuming flames are now eating and purging her dark essence.

Her darkness tries to infest the ground you're standing on. Her deathly attack tries to strike the floor around you, but you race out of way. Within an instant, the world goes black and suddenly all the windows shatter like a chorus of crashing. Despite the pitch black room, you continue to fight in the void, just following the white fire that's now surrounding RttnCrps.

Her hollow scream rages and roars from all directions at once. The noise suddenly strikes your nerves with a s̭̙̱̞̳̻̼ha̯͈̫͍̺d̙͙̥̜̮̻͔o̖̫͓̲̱̪͈w̗y ̮si̖̜̘c͖̘͉̲͙̹̜k͈͔̯ͅne̹sṣ̳ͅ.͈͓̫̬.̩ͅ.̻

But you fight on...

RttnCrps is now completely on fire. She still rages at you with an unnaturally-long scream and a voracious, soul-craving hunger. You... she wants YOU to be her last supper. For the long dark moment, she saw you as an enemy, but now she sees you as a b̷̦̟͖̯̹͓͡ͅà̘̞̲̻̰̙̻̳̜͢n̹̝͕̱̼͕̻̰̻q̵҉̢̞̼̳͇̝̝̝͙ų͓͎̥̰ ̥̘̙̣e̡̹̺͖͕ͅt͏̡͈̹̠.

You take one more deep breath and your hands are completely lit with the exorcising light that continues to immolate RttnCrps even further. You sweat, wince, and struggle, but you continue to let her BURN. With her shadowy aura locked dead in the light, she tries to thrash, throw the furniture at you, and howl, but you dodge, focus, and maintain the killing fire even as the apartment falls apart in pieces around you. She even grabs a hold of Kanja's police pistol and fires each round after round at you, but you dodge each bullet, barely evading the killing trajectory as the slugs bury themselves into the walls. After the last bullet in the magazine ejects, the hammer hits nothing, and like that, she realizes it's hopeless. With a simple click.

And then there's nothing left.

She explodes with the m͈͔̖̹͉̱o̞͔st̖̟̹͇̼͔̟ ̱͉͓͈ͅͅh͚̹͉̬o̲r̬̘̜̺ri̠̼f̖̜̝̜ỵ͕̪̥i̹̳̱ṋ̝̘̝g̳̙̩͙ ͇̗ d͖̻̣e̟ͅa̤̗t̮͖͓̟͉̹h̥̝ ͈͓̙̯̼̗s̟c̼r̻̲̭͍͓̥͓e̬͚a̺̲̩̼͚͙m̖͎ ͈͎͍ͅy͔̺̤o͓̭u̥̹̦̫ ̤̝̮t͙͕͔hi̮̫͙n̘k ̹͎͓̤y̥͇̤͇̠̪o͈͈̺̠̭͎u̼'͖̝̯̖̦ḽ͖̻l̜̮̥ͅ e̠̬̱̺͓̼v͇̥ͅer̠ ̱̥̻h̜̰͍̩̪a͚̯v͕̼e̠͖͉ ͙͇̘̳̯͙t̜̬o̟͔̺̠ ̤͍̗̥̻h̼͉e̼̰a̬͚̩͉r̞̞̮̮.͓..

You shake, you fall on your knees, you quiver a bit, and you try to keep your heart from racing until it explodes. Your lungs burn for air, but even after all is done, you hear a voice...

"Unreal..." Kanja's voice softly echoes.

You look up to see Kanja's spirit, freed, shackles broken and now released from the grasp of her Enthraller and no longer a puppet of murder for Abyss.

"I don't know how you... but..." Kanja the Kecleon whispers softly to you, unsure of what to say, "...thank you... and... I'm sorry... but that... that wasn't... me..."

Her soul is saved, and is taken up in a glorious, hope-instilling light while you feel a warmth of serenity that is unlike anything you've felt before. Your head is still swimming with shadows and trauma, but for now, at least the fight is done. It will definitely be some time before you're ready to take on a fight like that again, but for now, you can rest.

Among these Pokémon, you are a shadow with a mission, and today that mission is done.

CONGRATULATIONS!
The Stalker "RttnCrps" has been eliminated. Southwarren has become slightly safer.
