This land is my land and nothing will change that. I'm sure you of everyone here would know best that history is decided by the victor, and Victor may or may not be my first name, because it also starts with V. And Victor means victory, and whoever gets the victory wins.

Okie

As the Rainbow Stoneship soars over the yellowed sky that surrounds the tower, it grinds to an abrupt stop. Those unprepared for the sudden halt nearly find themselves tumbling off of the platform to the infinity that lay before them. Reorienting yourselves, you look around and inspect the platform. There's nothing wrong with it, the pulsating glow still runs through the engraved lines, and in relation to the floating debris, you're not falling.

Uxie zips around, mumbling. "I feared that this was a possibility. Dialga is unwelcoming to visitors, that much can be affirmed. But to inhibit the operation of the Stoneship? It is troubling."

Approaching the far end of the platform where it faces the tower, you can see a rippling effect. Like water in the air. Azelf brushes a hand against it. "A challenge..."

>>5350841
So uh... what do we do now?

>>5350841
*Nvm, Cava's here for this session.
"Holy crap, that trip took like a week! We're finally here! Sweeeeeet time stability!"

"This is it huh? The ent of the road..."
Astor waits

>>5350841
Vee stills himself, getting up and looking at his teammates and then his surroundings. "We're making it places. Making it somewhere." He stretches.
"I think we've still got a little ways to go." >>5350847 >>5350845 >>5350843

>>5350841
"Wait- What's going on?" Maroon asks, running over to the anomaly.

"Well what are we supposed to do? Ain't exactly a rock mechanic."

>>5350841

>>5350843
"Do we just blast it? I agree with Sable."

>>5350841
Kaku wakes up in a minute. "Hmm? Oh we are here at last? Wait, where is here? Don't tell me this thing broke..."

>>5350841
"What do you mean, a challenge?"

Azelf shakes her head. "It does not have to be the end of the line for the journey. Rather, the opposite. It is a test for us. We must push through."

"Attempt to destroy it and you'll find the results severely lacking." Uxie floats closer, pushing Azelf out of the way. "It is a gate and a lock. We are the key. Somehow, we will need to guide the Stoneship past the barrier to attempt to breach the tower."

>>5350866
Vee notes that there is absolutely nothing to recognize that isn't already his teammates, the Lake Guardians, or the suspended rocks.

>>5350868
Uxie continues speaking. "Dialga would not completely impede progress to the tower itself should the event a year prior repeat itself. I suspect what we face is a—"

Castform's Weather Ball flies straight through the ripple and simply disappears. As if it passed a veil and was consumed.

"—as I said, you would gain nothing from attacking it." Uxie sighs. "Find a way to force us in, including the platform. That is all."

". . . Do any of you guys have something that we use to propel the disk? I know Cava has his Flash Canon and ReRe is psychic- so we could try to push it. . . If I could then I'd just punch the think."

Vee tries to create as large of a Wish he can, looking to use the star for another purpose...

"What do you have in mind?"

>>5350878
Castform thinks. Aside from them all being humans, that's pretty much it.

>>5350880
Sable is unable to tell if his swimming maneuver makes any visible differences.

>>5350883
Is it water? He might be hearing an ocean on the other side.

>>5350886
Astor, instead of flying, falls off the Stoneship.

>>5350888
Kaku jumps headfirst through the anomaly and feels himself gliding through something so impossibly thick. It warps and ungulates around him like some kind of encompassing gelatin. Eventually he exits and finds himself plummeting to a massive ocean below. The air feels so warm...

>>5350889
There are no strong winds produced.

>>5350892
Citrine slowly floats to the barrier and bumps against it. It ripples against his action. It's not easy to just passively go through.

>>5350896
Escavalier does not open any doors, but he manages to pierce the veil to reveal a glimpse of the other side. They can see Kaku falling and an endless ocean. In the far distance, he can see something else... red and blue?

>>5350891
Uxie shakes her head. "Teleporting is unadvisable. It is best to know your target location and we are... in someplace that does not obey most natural laws. Terrible things might happen if we attempt it."

Rere exclaims to Uxie "Look at the nerd here, unwilling to take risks. We did it when the skygina appeared and...well, It caused things to get worse and I was stuck for a few hours screaming in the void until I was spat out."

Rere thinks hard on that experience, clearly never having learnt that lesson as she exclaimed "But still, we did it."

Vee sees his giant Wish, larger than his stars from Swift, and uses his skill in manipulating them to rotate the Wish star and have it act a propeller or fan to push the platform forward.

Maroon opens his maw wide as the floating bubble of water nestles itself inside. He shuts his jaws and seals his lips tight before the air starts to distort around him like the air of an open oven. Even from afar you can hear it start to bubble and boil in his mouth, although he seems not to be bothered at all.
He takes a deep breath through his nose. He tries to blast to the steam out like a jet engine to push the platform forward.

Vee summons a Wishing star. It is fairly normal, perhaps much more starry than average. The propeller does not seem to cause the platform to make any noticeable movement.

>>5350915
Sableye begins to move the platform very slowly, inching it through the barrier. However, it is like wading his mind through molasses and tar. He's going to need some serious help.

>>5350922
>>5350918
Citrine makes it to the other side, now floating high above an ocean. Ymir, looking through the opening and Citrine already present, spies a giant fish and red lizard exchanging blows. They are also maybe glowing.

>>5350924
Uxie rolls her eyes. Or makes the motion of it, considering her eyes are closed. "Actually, they are Wormholes. Tears in space. Not the crude term... 'skygina.' Taking risks is a part of life, that cannot be denied, but calculating risks ensures we make decisions that have the highest level of success. Wasting effort now can be fatal."

You can hear a giggle come from Mesprit.

>>5350928
He is morally bankrupt. Not enough to go around.

>>5350929
Astor attempts to fly through the barrier and manages to force himself through.

>>5350931
A massive blob of water nearly drenches Maroon simply by its sheer presence. Like dew from the heavens.

>>5350939
Nearly drowning and boiling the water, perhaps almost accidentally creating Scald, Maroon turns into a steam turbine exhaust, blasting the platform through the barrier. With Sable's guidance, they make it right through to the other side.

They are now above an ocean.

Without any resistance, however, the Arcanine goes blasting off the platform.

*Ymir dives into the water to give Kaku a lift*

The air around you is hot and the Stoneship is picking up momentum. It begins to move even faster.

>>5350951
>>5350963
A massive whale-like creature and a titanic lizard, both with glowing lines running along their body, battle in the distance. You notice the storm and the harsh heat. Great plumes of steam and smoke, occasionally obscure them. A hurricane is brewing above the two.

The Stoneship is heading in that direction.

>>5350968
Uxie looks away from Rere to observe the fight happening leagues away. "That is... they are young... Could it be?"

>>5350958
Sable notes that water is everywhere.

>>5350961
Charles manages to grab Maroon by the tip of his tail. This most likely hurts. A lot.

>>5350965
Vee finds that the platform does not move from his interference because the stars are not actually attached to anything.

>>5350967
Astor manages to grab onto Kaku, but misjudged the weight and where to most optimally grab the hair goblin. They begin to plummet further.

>>5350970
Mesprit looks at Ymir, holding up a hand. "Your emotions have clouded your thinking, that fall is not as...!"

He jumps off the platform, two miles above the water. He lands cleanly enough, albeit with great pain. He manages to catch Astor and Kaku before they hit the water. Although his aching bones tell him Ymir should've just let the two contact the ocean instead.

Azelf grips the only ground they have beneath them, attempting to not be blown right off. "I am beginning to suspect that we will be subjected to many time-related trials!"

Uxie and Mesprit begin to conjure a shield. "We are still missing three members. Retrieval is necessary. They would be stranded otherwise."

Citrine tries to reinforce the shield to protect from Groudon. He is not subconsciously rooting for him anymore.

"Quite a windy day, huh? Maybe with more wind..."
Astor tries to use a whirlwind to ease the lifting!

>>5351061
SOMEONE SHUT HER UP BEFORE SHE ALTERS THE TIMELINE!

>>5351069
"I'm tryyyyying!"
*Cava continues what he was doing before.

>>5351063
Rere is silenced before she could remark how Kyogre will never be a dolphin as she is gagged, muttering "Yth clld leth duth nnr hn Uua" as a cloth was placed over where her mouth... should be... hard to tell as it isn't visable usually.

>>5351072
"...What?"

>>5351073
"Ith thed, Yth clld leth duth nnr hn Uua" she responded, gagged and her words hard to come out

>>5351066
The three are relatively fine. With the gust of thermal air beneath them, they ascend even higher, now able to see the trouble the Stoneship is in. It appears Groudon is trying to take them out! Lucky they're not the ones on that ship!

...although it should still be intact because they need it. They should probably help out.

Astor manages to bring them even closer, enough to make out the distress in the team's face.

>>5351051
>>5351053
Vee has been returned to the safety of solid ground and a barrier. Like one of those sticky hand toys you get from a 25-cent vending machine, he is dragged back up.

>>5351056
Groudon's giant hand is unbothered by the sandy-air defenses, plowing right through the superheated sand as if it was just normal sand.

>>5351057
Uxie turns to Sableye and nods. "That is most likely the case, yes."

While he is being informed of such pertinent information, he manages to swerve out of the way of Groudon's relatively slow-moving attack to swat them right out of the air!

>>5351061
Even though the storm should be drowning out the Tapu's words, both of them hear it loud and clear, roaring in unison. The water around Kyogre begins to pulse and vibrate as catastrophic waves swirl around it. The air around Groudon becomes even hotter...

You can see Mesprit visibly recoil. "They were already bubbling with unrestrained anger... Lele! You have directed their infamous fury right at us!"

>>5351081
If you three have any tricks to make this thing go faster, now'd be the time to use them!

>>5351081
>>5351074
*Cava drops the gag, uncaring at this point.
"WE'RE DOOMEEEEED! AAHHHHHHHH"

Rolled 8 (1d20)

>>5351081
"Damn it! I don't know what to do!"

Citrine pours more power into the shield as best he can.

"We need to get out of here! You guys figure out how to get going, I'll try and keep this up!"

>>5351081
"Uh-oh! Hey, Astor, take me closer! I might be able to stall one of them, at least for one turn..."

Rolled 4 (1d20)

>>5351081
"Wup! Okay!" He lands safely. "Haah... Thanks Charles. Goo-d job." He hides behind Citrine again. >>5351086

Astor brings the group hovering right behind the Stoneship, his poor wings exhausted from their intense workout of carrying two large pokemon at once.

>>5351086
>>5351091
Citrine and Vee begin preparing to protect the group's defensive bubble. Small guards, indeed.

>>5351096
Castform is ready to take one of the attacks head-on! Hopefully he won't be obliterated.

>>5351097
Pins and orbs of light begin to manifest around Kyogre as the water picks up like spikes on a graph. It rumbles and splashes until it begins to glow so bright it hurts to stare at.

Next to Groudon, you can see the water bubbling and boiling as steam and gas escape from all around him. Red-hot shapes begin to take form beneath the surface. They almost look like giant daggers...

Citrine just continues his Wide Guard, sending up a silent prayer. There's not much more for him to say.

>>5351120
"AH, THE BLADES AT THE PRECIPICE! THE ORIGINAL PULSES! OHHHH NOOOOO!"

Maroon stares at the incoming barrage and laughs.
"I'm pretty sure I could deflect that with Close Combat and ride back on one of those spikes," he chuckles as watches the others guard.

"Same-day delivery!"
The exhausted bird yeets both Ymir and Kaku to the platform

The Origin Pulse strikes the ship and the defensive bubble! Great big beams of light carve through the sky and punch right through the clouds above as they scatter and burn. Despite the ready defense, Citrine and Vee feel themselves buckling under the legendary pressure.

Giant blades shoot up from the sea, attempting to stab right into the Stoneship. They crack and shatter parts of the barrier, causing the Lake Guardians to cry out and crumple to the ground, clutching their heads in pain.

Citrine and Vee feel themselves about to faint. 95% damage received!

Your choices:
>Attempt to stall and repair the barrier, let the Stoneship guide you through
>[Roll Move] This thing is moving too slow!!! GO FASTER!!!

Vee takes the lingering Wish. He heals for 50% of his max HP. (286/520 HP)

Instead of doubling down once more, he breaths in and tries something different, visualizing the move. "Come on..."

Vee used Copycat!
Vee used Origin Pulse!

He tries to harness the power of Origin Pulse!

Gonna let everyone else deal with this, It's time for snack break and watch.

Rolled 9 (1d20)

>>5351149
The shard is consumed as it integrates itself into the barrier. It takes on a golden sheen as the cracks begin to heal.

>>5351150
Kaku, the daring daredevil, leaps from the safety of the shielded Stoneship to slap Groudon right in the face with a feigned attack! Groudon, instead of preparing another assault, attempts to swat Kaku like one would a fly! He spins back up and misses, clinging to the edge of the platform.

>>5351155
Citrine, once again, prepares another defense.

>>5351158
Astor attempts to fight the winds scouring around them, it's chaotic and seems to not offer much help.

>>5351162
Attempting to harness such primordial energy is beyond him, like attempting to grasp a handful of sand. The power is too much and he collapses back down, unable to summon his own copy.

The Stoneship is still continuing and you can see the rippling energy beyond you. Just a little further now...

Kyogre turns its massive body around, raising its massive tail up before bringing it down. It's a giant Water Spout!

>>5351168
Vee breaths heavily as he fails to use the move. "Gaah..!" He coughs a bit of water up. "Aah... Sorry..."

>>5351168

Citrine looks at Ymir like he's insane-ish. It's not the worst plan he's ever seen... but he's too invested in keeping his Wide Guard up to say anything anyway.

Kaku begins to move the ship forward and faster, although without much direction to it.

>>5351190
>>5351195
Astor launches Ymir with such great force and precision, that the Swampert is able to angle himself to take the strike. It hurts like no other and he feels the water that he's grown so accustomed to nearly ripping him right to shreds. Unlike the guarded Vee and Citrine, he only has his own Willpower.

He hangs on with a sliver of health (1) as he returns to the others, battered and barely coherent.

The massive column of rushing water, all displaced by one mighty slap from the great oceanic beast, approaches the group almost like some sort of biblical wall ready to take them right out of the sky. The mist and water from the nearing doom pools around in the bubble of the Stoneship, soaking everyone inside.

Finally, it hits and everyone experiences the might of Kyogre! Water rushes into the bubble, swirling, hot, and angry. Ymir takes this opportunity to unleash the built up energy with his own water spout, blasting it in the direction opposite of their objective.

His body is flung and pinned to the bubble, cracking with the sheer energy exiting him, annihilating the other half of the shield and flying right over Kaku's head!

They zip right through barrier... and the Stoneship crashes at the foot of Temporal Tower.

He waits a little while to heal Ymir too.

>>5351221
"Yeah. Yeah, me too. Good job, dude."

>>5351224
"Did you not see? He got carried into Kyogre's Water Spout, came back to the rock barely conscious, and fired off a Mirror Coat to get us out of here. It was... really close."

"You are a lame ghost who cannot float.. so... Your flying is bad."

"Anyway, that was fun. We should say hi on our way back."

>>5351226
I'm gonna be honest with you Citrine, I kind of lost track of where I was, who I was, and why I was doing what I was doing. I just... saw nothing but the path forward, I guess. My brain feels like it's being pressed in a vice with nails in both ends though.
>>5351227
Rere, you're lucky I fear what would happen if I were to kick your ass for that shit.

>>5351228
"...oh. Well, thanks, man. I didn't realize you were piloting the thing."

>>5351241
"You will. We will. We've just got to keep going strong till... and we can. It'll be over before we know it."

Chapter 29: Tower of Tribulations

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OcV9CCXO9E&t

Those of you familiar with Temporal Tower's look and mood come into a scene just as foreign and new as those who haven’t. The place looks different, almost mistakable for some other dungeon even! There are droves of unown lining the walls, all shuffling around eachother and organizing themselves in pursuit of some unseen order. The walls and floor are polished to a stone sheen with small canals and waterways directing small streams of water around. Most importantly, gears and clockwork can be seen snaking up and around the interior of the tower, some slow, and some at incredible speed…

>>5353070
"Here we go... This feels ominous already."

"Huh, i feel... weird"

>>5353070
"Wow! This would make a good evil wizard tower." Poli notes as he catches up with the others.

>>5353070
"Here we are. . ." he whispers, eyes set hard with determination.
He searches for the closest wall or pillar in central of the chamber, in front of the entrance.
"Here."
Maroon's paw glows white hot as he presses his paw into the stone to leave an indentation.

>>5353070
"Huh... Looking cool. Looks like we're almost there, huh? Hehe." Vee looks up and around in wonder, just looking at the place is a different feeling altogether. "Let's see what's in store."

>>5353073
"If they are, I think we should leave 'em alone."

>>5353075
"It's up there. Probably A-tier."

>>5353070
>>5353073
Mistral scans the surroundings. "Something is definitely wrong with this place. I don't think it ever looked like this..." He shrugs. "The gears in magic places always seem superfluous."

>>5353079
"Fair enough I suppose. They must have some purpose though...Can't all be decoration."

>>5353078
"Fair enough Vee. Was just curious to their usage."

>>5353070
"Well that was a good nap...whew I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be."

>>5353085
"Desecrating a monument to the god of time eh? Heh. Oh Maroon. Why not? I shall join you!"

>>5353076

After a few much appreciated staircases, the path forward ends in a long upward shaft, the only features of the room being a large mass of interconnected gears spinning in the center.

"Fliers, you're up. Allons-y. Anyone need a boostie-yikes!" Bind begins climbing, using the gears as platforms and makeshidt elevators. But some of them are spinning absurdly fast, there's no way up past them without getting crushed or flung!

>>5353129
"Sorry Sable." Vee looks sad. "But we've just gotta keep going! We've got a job to do here, for everyone!" He returns to a cheerful mood, if not a little nervous for what's to come.

>>5353140
Vee scratches his head and hopes he didn't see him leave a star-mark on the wall. "Well, I see it as the world's strongest together-forever spell! We're in this together, and it wouldn't be that bad staying that way for a little while longer, right?"

>>5353140
if push comes to shove I'll take the blame for the lot of it.
I... just thought it would be a way to say how far we've come, and it would have been rude to put it inside the tower so I left it by the entrance

"Hey! No one is taking all the blame! If you're taking it, I'm sharing it as well."

>>5353140
"Wasn't he the one to send Regigigas? This is nothin' to what they've done."

>>5353107
Astor, being a flier is afforded the unique opportunity to fly around most of the hazards and gaps! His terrible precision gets him crushed for 75% of his health on one of the last gears, but he makes it to the top.

Castfrom's thunder etches out a few stones, in a crude but legible message.

>>5353111
Poli and Vee together manage to slow the movement significantly with psychic pressure. Suddenly, it feels like everyone is stuck in place for a moment, like your movements can't keep up with your own perception. It feels like you're moving through a thick veil of empty air.

>>5353119
Citrine's stomp leaves a perfect impression of his foot, and knocks something down from higher up, conking him harmlessly. It's a deluxe box?

>>5353111
A star, recognizable only to those who deserve to!

>>5353121
Sable sees two of the unown bump into eachother. They scramble around eachother unnaturally, like a video playing in fast forward until they find their places...
>>5353124
Kaku's impression is pretty fine, for a mass of hair!

>>5353123
>>5353128
Castform's hail causes one pair of gears to grind to a complete halt! The hail in the immediate vicinity stops in place and... adopts a greyish tone.

>>5353128
Mistral kicks a few gears out of place as he jumps his way up! They begin to fall heavily, before gradually slowing and stopping in midair as he catches up to Bind, who is mysteriously not as slowed as everyone else.

"Oh, hey Mistral!... I think I'm getting motion sickness..."

Citrine finally notices the box.
"Hey, hey! See, Sable? I got a... treasure chest... from stomping...? I don't know. Good omen, though!"

>>5353164
"Hah! Piece of cake..."
Astor doesn't seem ok

Hey bind you think you can jump up across the frozen hail?
>cast prepares to airlift some of the lighter members while hoping bind can baton pass up the ones he can't lift

"Well, I don't really have anything on me for that kind of thing," he responds, glancing back. "Okay, uh, did not intend on doing that."

Some of the gears nearest to Scav and Kaku also quickly return to their normal pace...

Vee releases his psychic grip and takes a deep breath. "W-Woah! Poli?" He gathers his bearings.

Rolled 3 + 2 (1d20 + 2)

>>5353164
"Hm. . . Let me see if my paws have enough grip. . ." he thinks out loud as he bursts into flames and tries to up the faces of the gears, using his heated paws to melt footholds for vertical run.

"Excellent work, Vee. You make for a fine wizard." Poli compliments Vee's copied Psychic abilities, then starts trying to jump up the slowed gears.

>>5353178
"Uh... I don't have anything to help me. Kaku, got any ideas?"

Rolled 16 (1d20)

Hello? Are you guys okay to talk or is what you're doing too important?
>Sable attempts to communicate with the Unown horde!

Rolled 17 (1d20)

"Ooookay. Air Balloon time."

Citrine equips the balloon again and floats a little off the ground. He moves slowly over to the wall and kicks off and up, hoping to float over most of the problem areas...?

"Huh..." Another breath. "Mm. Thanks!" Vee takes a moment to think about how he can now say he once controlled time, before trying to follow him up.
He shouts back. "We might have a way up!"

"Hmmm, I dunno, maybe I got some items..." Kaku quickly spills the contents of his bag, a flute, a violent seed, a sneed seed, guiding wands, a pendant...
"Oh hey, is that guy's pendant. Why do I still carry this?"
