Miles just barely managed to bite back a curse, claws digging into the soft ground, his hand claws eventually joining his leg claws. He could just FEEL the force behind the Thundaga spell, and even if he survived, he doubted he'd be in any shape to fight.
Why did he forget to use Flail again?!
Even as the massive electrical attack struck at what felt like every single pin receptor on his body, the gator kept one thought in mind.
"I'll never let you escape with that shard!!"
Somewhere higher up on the river banks, the sound of thunder crashing was enough to stir a sleeping Carol from her slumber, all the while still leaning against the tree, scythe arm stuck in the tree.
"Zzz.... five more minutes mom... Whoa? The hell was that?"
...
It didn't take long for her to notice the Thundaga attack downstream. And more specifically, another Pokemon (and two humans, and something she couldn't even begin to identify) taking the attack. She couldn't help it.
Carol started to charge into battle, wings a-ready and scythes a-gleaming.
"I ain't missing out on this for the world!"
[Kind of a Brick Joke here, except it's not a joke]

With the others, Issac, Luna, and Marco took the hit, and barely got back onto their feet. "Ow... Kupo-po..." Marco groaned as he picked up his bazooka like cannon, momentarily wincing, since it was coursing with electricity due to that earlier attack. "Sheesh... This guy's tough kupo."
With Issac, he stared down Exdeath, growling angrily. Exdeath returned the glare, with one could tell was a sadistic grin. "Now do you doubt my power, little insects?"
With a growl, he helped Luna to stay on her feet. "Your tough... But me and my clan have been training to handle creeps like you." He pulled out an elixer and handed it to Luna. The viera took the drink graciously and downed it. "To be fair, you FREAK. You don't have ANY idea who your dealing with yourself."
Exdeath probably raised an eyebrow at that statement, "What makes you think that, little man?"
Issac's eyes traveled behind him slightly when he saw Carol zooming up. "This, actually." That was immediately followed by;
"Luna!! Charge a summon spell and wait for my signal! Any one will do!"
That was when Carol got into the battle.

Miles stood on all fours, clearly exhausted from the attack. He could barely stand on four feet, meaning he shouldn't even bother with attempting to stand on two. The crocodile was panting, clearly pained. In video game terms, he was on his very last sliver of hit points now.
He could have sworn this was the end for him, had a green blur not come zooming by him, almost ninja-like in its speed. Miles only response to this was to simply blink in confusion.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"
And with a battle cry, Carol continued her charge, raising a single scythe arm into the air, going at Exdeath with a powerful Slash attack. Fresh to the fight, she was ready for anything the man had to bring.
"You're goin' down!!"
And with the flapping of her wings, she started on a more aerial-based Slash attack, not really noticing Luna preparing her summon spell.

Exdeath had not seen Carol coming until it was too late, so he couldn't block her attack in time. "GAGH!!!" The attack was surprising enough that the River Shard was sent flying out of his hand. "YOU LITTLE GNAT!!! I will teach you a thing or two!!!" He raised his sword fully ready to fight Carol with everything he had.
With Luna, Issac, and Marco, Luna was still charging her spell, magic glowing in her hands as she grew ever closer. "Almost there..."
With Leona and Enn, the two watched the fight from where they sat. After Leona gave Enn's, now, human form an elixer, the skeleton took the drink graciously and chugged it down. Feeling his strength return, he wanted to join the fight against Exdeath himself... But something told him, that things were just about settled.
When the magic grew close to it's destructive best, Marco quickly ran forward and snatched the River Shard, before Exdeath could notice it was gone. That was followed immediately by Issac forcibly pulling Carol back away from the evil tree, whom was otherwise ticked off that his current opponent had been pulled away from him. "NOW!!!"
Luna nodded and finished her incantation with these following words, "Evil flames, entrust your power to us! Salamander!!!"
....... Suddenly, there was an explosion of flames in the sky, as something crossed over from the spirit world into Dimensional Island. The flames all joined together, creating a serpentine dragon made of pure hellish flames, with big arms ended with wicked looking claws. It's yellow feral eyes looked down on Exdeath with an angry light, almost like it was saying, 'Hope you've had a good life, cause I'm about to turn you into cynders'.
With Issac, Marco, Luna, and the others, those not of Clan Highwind looked at the summon with wide-eyes... For those that were though?
"Good choice." Issac said, with a grin.
"It sounded like an appropriate one." Came Luna's blushing response.

"Well, y'all can just cook me up a mantis-mash casserole, if yer little friend don't reduce me to cinders first!" Was all Carol had to say at the sight of the fiery dragon. Yes, she's seen some Dragon-types and some Fire-types (and even heard rumors of a Dragon/Fire hybrid), but this certainly took the cake for fearsome-looking flaming draconic creatures.
Miles did the only thing he could do that sounded reasonable at the time. He closed his eyes, and crouched down further. He would only look again when he felt the heat die down, and hopefully not find Exdeath still standing.
"Oh Arceus, this is going to create one hell of a bonfire..."
Mheetu ran onto the scene, his sister trailing behind him, kinda hiding behind him. "Hey guys, what's going o-" He was suddenly cut off when he saw the dragon of flames.
"... And I thought our god of fire was a fiery dragon." Was all he had to say as he looked at the creature with wide eyes.

Exdeath grimaced at the sight of the giant dragon, now gauging his chances of winning to just plain none existant. "Shit..."
Luna decided at that moment to end the battle. "Now Salamander!! WYRM FIRE!!!!"
It was at that moment, that Exdeath decided now was as good a time as any to start running. With a jump, he used his Omni-Dash ability to seemingly fly off in the opposite direction that Salamander was in. That didn't seem to deter Salamander though, whom took a deep breath, before spitting out what appeared to be a giant magma rock, which dashed after Exdeath as he flew off.
Once the two were far away from Koi River...
BOOM...
From where-ever Exdeath was at that moment, Salamander's meteor collided with him, exploding in a grand display of flames.
With a grin, Marco tossed the River Shard up and down in his right hand, before catching it, and taking a closer look at it. "To think, all of that violence was because of one tiny shard kupo... Can this thing possibly be THAT powerful?"
Luna sighed as the magic circle around her disappeared. Salamander gave one final roar, before it vanished with a poof, as if it had never been at all. "I don't know... But it must be important somehow." the girl said with a frown.

Miles, who seemed to be regaining some of his strength, slowly got to his feet, and opened his eyes. Okay, good, no signs of Exdeath... and the lack of heat signaled that the Salamander was gone. After a couple of deep breaths, he took a look at the River Shard that Marco was tossing.
"I don't even know the full story, Mheetu's been after these things longer than I have." He turned to the male lion-like Pokemon, who still seemed a bit stupefied by what he had just seen. "Mheetu?"
Mheetu at once blinked, and seemed to resume a more normal posture. "Oh! Right! ... From what I can tell, they're used to power up these things called Relics... we've got three of them, and our enemies have one... I'm not sure what happens when they're all together, though..."
Carol simply shrugged at this. "Well, since I ain't needed 'round these parts anymore, I might as well go. Maybe I'll see y'all a li'l later." She turned, and started to walk off.
Tua still seemed to be hiding behind her brother, it was hard for her to be around people. "Um..."
With a sigh, Miles hoisted the fallen form of Volcano onto his shoulder. He felt a pulse, good, that meant that he'd recover. "So, Mheetu, where did you come from, anyways?"
"You know the bar in Void City that closed down recently? Yeah, we're kind of using it as our base now..."

Issac and the others took in the story for themselves, though it was somewhat frightening to hear it for themselves. So these shards WERE powerful. Though just how powerful, no-one yet knew. Marco decided to take that into account, and quickly hid the River Shard on his person. "Wow... That sounds bad kupo..."
"Very bad." Issac was in clear agreement as he skillfully resheathed both of his swords. "It almost sounds like the Zodiac Stone incedent all over again..." Crossing his arms, he took in the pokemon a moment. "How can we help?"
Looking a fair bit panicked, Leona jumped to her feet. "Oh no-no-no! We couldn't include you on this madness! Someone could really get hurt!"
"Including yourself." Putting away her staff, Luna chimed in. "If you ask me, all of you need help quite badly." Putting her hand to her chest, she opted to introduce herself. "My name is Luna, and my two friends are Issac-" The swordsman nodded. "And Marco." The moogle nodded and let out a kupo. "We're members of Clan Highwind, it's our job to help people in need."

Miles looked at Mheetu, then at Tua and the fainted Volcano he carried. It didn't take long for him to make the connection that if Mheetu was here, Tanachu would have easily gotten involved, and by extension, Teala and Uziami. The decision for him was obvious.
"... Seeing as my teammates are involved, I guess I have no choice but to join in as well. Even if they weren't... I'd still join up."
Mheetu's ears perked up at what the Feraligatr had said, accompanied by Tua nodding (and by extension, Volcano would have to join as well). Looking over at Isaac, Luna and Marco, he realized they had gained several powerful new allies.
"I'm Mheetu, the giant gator's Miles, the overgrown chicken's Volcano, and the one that looks like a blue female version of me is my sister, Tua. We're most of Team SOS, and we pretty much go with the flow. And though they're not with us, try to avoid attacking the yellow rat with a hat, the giant teal dragonfly, or the blue bipedal fox."
Tua was a bit taken back, but seemed to have gained some courage to stand by her brother's side. She seemed to be eying Isaac with some anxiety, Luna with a little less, and Marco with minimal fear. "Um..."
Noting this, Mheetu spoke up. "She's afraid of humans, bad experience when she was younger."
Carol seemed mildly interested in all this. "Well, y'all can all count on me as yer ally!"

Upon hearing all the introductions passed around, Issac turned to Mheetu, likely making her squirm. After a second, his shoulders sagged. "Well... Okay, if you say so." With that said, he looked to Miles crossing his arms. "So... Give us the current information about these 4 Relics and 16 Shards. If we're going to help you, we need to know as much as we can." He lifted an eyebrow. "How many relics or shards have been discovered so far? And who has which?"
Leona looked to Miles herself, rather curious. "Well... So far we have two shards on our person... One we got at a mountain that I'm currently holding in my bag, and the other one the stuffed animal has."
"Stuffed animal?" Marco huffed. "I'd appreciate it, if you don't call me a 'stuffed animal'. I'm a moogle, kupo."
Enn stared at Marco looking quite confused...
What was with the 'kupos'?

Mheetu put one of his paws under his chin, thinking and drawing back on the times they had, searching for the shards and relics. "Hmm... we have most of the shards, and three of the relics... we outnumber the villains by a lot, but I fear they'll do a sneak attack..."
Slamming that paw into his face, he made a sort of forced laugh. "Oh please! A sneak attack? They're too stupid to think of doing that!"
Miles sighed as he took a look at the map, adjusting his glasses. "Hmm... according to this, there's a shard that only appears when the other fifteen are together... It's on the Shy Islands...?"
Tua hung off of the gator's shoulder, trying to make out the writing. "I think the Eon twins were there, a thousand Poke says that Suneon was trying to hit on some girls and Mooneon froze him on the spot."
Mheetu sighed, knowing that was probably exactly what had happened with those two. "We should head back. Lobo knows more about this stuff than I do."

"I think that sounds like a good idea." Issac nodded in agreement. "This Lobo person can likely fill us in better if that's the case." He looked to Miles with a raised eye-brow. "You sure your okay? You took a pretty bad hit back there."
Luna looked in clear agreement. "I can heal you if you want."

Miles looked at Isaac and Luna, and simply grunted in response. "I've taken worse. Don't worry about me." he said, shuddering a bit on the inside, remembering the massive combined Flash attack that had ruined his eyes and felt rather painful. Tua made what sounded like a short purring sound as she looked at the gator with worried eyes.
Carol looked at the group, and then made a waving motion. "Well, I'd best be lookin' for my team now. It was nice to help y'all, but now I have to make sure Hades ain't annoyin' the shit outta Apollo." With that, she simply extended her wings, and with great speed, seemed to vanish into the distance, going to the south.
Mheetu's only response to that was to nod. "Let's go."

With a nod, Issac agreed readily. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Let's get moving before something else happens..."
Leona looked even more anxious then Issac. "Y-yes. I really don't want to see hat else will happen... I've had enough fighting for one day..." She dusted off her school uniform, before readjusting the backpack on her back. "Come on Enn. Shall we go?"
Enn, usually a being that followed orders to the letter, didn't need to be told twice. He saluted Leona, before following Miles with his usual serious expression. Watching him go, Marco looked a fair bit confused. "What's his problem Kupo?"
Leona shook her head. "I... I don't know... All I do know though, is that he's here because he wants to help us."

Hauling the fallen Volcano over his shoulder, Miles clearly had a deep frown on his face. This was going to end up as one of the most dangerous missions of his life, he could just tell that.
Arceus help me, he thought to himself.
Tua seemed to be trying to stay in-between her brother and best friend, ears slightly tense and tail down near the ground.
Miles, can you please just eat one of them?! Tua thought to herself.
Mheetu had a very serious and determined look on his face as he marched forward, he's been doing this for the longest time, so it was natural that he'd be the most concerned for these relics and shards.
This won't end well, I can just tell...
