CHAPTER XXIV Premonition?

490 Days A.A.D.

11:51 am

    It is yet another day at the Próceres base, although things are like usual, the missions have begun to end in constant failure. This was due to Elixir becoming more and more scarce in the region. This situation leads Eve to have a reunion with the remaining Próceres.

    "I really hope everyone has had a good sleep yesterday, because I have not." says Eve, deciding to be honest with the team, "I was afraid that these days would come; it’s not a surprise we are going through a shortage of Elixir in the region."

    Sarge, Ryan and Beatrix look to each other; they are aware of the gravity of the situation.

    "From the reports of our latest quests the past months; I calculate there may be no Elixir in at least an area of one hundred square kilometers, except for in our base and at the ruins of the Miserables' building." Eve informs.

    "On our latest survey, we reported that Enervemon activity had decreased at the ruins since last month" adds Sarge, Eve nods at him in agreement.

    "Exactly Sarge, thanks to that, we should soon be able now to loot all of the Elixir the Miserables had in possession, it may be risky but necess-" Eve then is interrupted by the sound of something knocking on the balcony door.

    This unnerves the whole team. Besides the sound of knock of that door being unfamiliar to them, there was no way someone could be on the balcony at that the moment, unless someone could climb or fly all the way up there from outside.

    "Bzzzt, Leader, we believe we have a guest up here" Sarge comments to Eve. She heads towards the door, indicating the rest to stay behind her.

    The knocking had stopped once she in front of the door. They all kept staring at it for few seconds before speaking.

    "We should maybe make a plan, like have Ryan go down the elevator, or open up a window at the greenhouse and chec-" Beatrix proposes before getting interrupted by the abrupt, loud sound of the door being kicked open by Eve, startling her. "OH! Fuck you could have at least told us you were going to do that!"

    Eve seems to ignore her and heads outside without remorse. Sarge, Ryan and Beatrix follow her out to the balcony. In the end to find they find a Staraptor perched on the fence.

    "Bzzzt, is not an Enerve."

    "Hey look, he is kinda like me!"

    "Who is this now, an enemy?"

    Everyone but Eve says something about the new guest, the Staraptor doesn't wait to say something as well.

    "Every one of you! Listen to my message!" Flare the Staraptor chants with his wings open, Eve turns her head a second to her teammates.

    "Team, I actually do know this Staraptor, he has... issues. Don't pay importance of whatever he says, he's kind of... you will see." Eve whispers to her team.

    "The order of the world will be restored! And it will start with the end of Era, but only if you three do the right thing. Ancient Child, Corrupt Justice Seeker and Lady of Black Fortunes..." Flare points at each one of them with a wing, referring to Ryan, Sarge and Beatrix respectively.

    "What in the world did I just get called now?" asks Beatrix.

    "Ancient?" asks Ryan scratching his head.

    "It's almost like, he really knows us." whispers Sarge to himself.

    "What did I tell you, team?" Eve turns around and scolds at her teammates, as the Staraptor keeps speaking.

    "Lady of Black Fortune, everyone knows me as Flare, but actually, I'm Arceus's Flare!" Flare continues rambling moving his wings a lot, by now most of the Próceres couldn't continue to take him seriously. "The names I do give, are a representation of themselves. I hope that answers that question, now, there's something else I need to tell-"

    "All right you, that’s enough," says Eve and approaches Flare, glaring at him "This is why you are not one of us, go away and stop the circus you want to turn my team into!"

    "Uh? So this is what you are planning?" Flare's body reacts at the words Eve just said to him, he then bends his body towards her, getting face to face while still standing on the fence. "Not going to say what your actual deal with me is? You know perfectly well that I never wanted be in your team, Accurate Tyrant."

    " Then what are you waiting for? Leave us alone!" responds Eve in a defiant tone.

    "I didn’t come here to just talk with your team... but to exterminate you." replies Flare with a deep tone of voice before flapping his wings to cause a strong gust of wind that makes all of the Próceres flinch. He gets off the fence to grab of Eve's whiskers with his talons, then he begins to fly backwards, dragging the Mienshao off the building.

    "EVE!" shouts the Próceres in unison as they approach and get ready to attack Flare.

    "Stop! You will end up attacking me!" shouts Eve while with her tail holds onto the fence, Flare hanging and pulling her by her whiskers painfully.

    "Give in, you weren't supposed to be the leader of anything here!" says Flare about to pull harder by using a backwards Brave Bird attack, this gets interrupted as his face suddenly struck by Eve's arm whips.

    "There you go again with your nonsense!" the hit forces Flare to release Eve, who swings and falls towards below the fence, still hanging by just her tail.

    "I got you now." thinks the Staraptor as he starts to descend towards Eve with a Brave Bird, but before he could reach to her an electric discharge blocks his path, stopping him.

    “She said, leave already, bzzzt!” says Sarge to Flare as Beatrix and Ryan aid Eve to get back on the balcony. Flare sighs and remains in the air, ceasing his desire to attack Eve, but holding up to say one more thing.

    “You, Lady of Black Fortunes, you should be careful when you get back home today.” in the moment Flare says this Beatrix becomes nervous, enough to catch the attention of the others, who still don’t know about Beatrix’s actual home. “The Icy Odd Ruler is there right now, he wants you, and he’s not alone. The Masked Avenger is in danger and so are your eggs.”

    After helping Eve to get back on the balcony, Beatrix moves closer to the fence in shock, listening to Flare’s warning, while it’s hard for her to understand about who Flare is refering with those names, she is sure he’s speaking the truth when he mentioned about her eggs. Eventually she realizes that Cory has to be the Masked Avenger he mentioned, and no one is supposed to know he lives with her yet.

    “What do you mean by that you crazy bastard!? Who is this Odd Ruler? How can you possibly know about all that!?” Beatrix exclaims questions at him, but Flare disregards them and keeps talking.

    “I’m taking my leave now, but now that I have warned you, I would like to invite you to my own home, at top of the Holiness Peak. I not only have some Elixir up there, but also I got something from you that you will want back.” he asserts before quickly flying away quickly.

    "Shall I go for him, Leader?" asks Ryan getting ready to take off and give chase, but Eve shakes her head in negation.

    "No, Ryan, he’s already too far away. Let's just let him go for now, I feel like we’ve got a priority now...." answers Eve as she turns her sight to Beatrix, everyone else turning to look at her as well. They all see a Zoroark gripping the fence tightly, staring in the direction Flare flew away. She looks desperate. "... is there something you might need to tell us, Beatrix?"

490 Days A.A.D.

01:10 pm

    The Próceres are once again back in the base. Beatrix speaks to everyone, she has calmed down and she tells them the truth, including the reason behind her leaving the base every night, where she actually lives, about her eggs, and tells them about Turret as well.

    "Well Beatrix, you been keeping a lot from us, but I don't blame you, it's a noble act that you are trying to do." says Eve in response to Beatrix's story.

    "I'm sorry guys, just... Heh, no, there's no excuse. I'm so bad at trusting anyone, I'm horrible and I don’t know what to do now." sighs Beatrix, crossing her arms.

    "Bzzzt, don't worry Beatrix, we know you are just protecting those eggs. We were still with the Special Forces when our superiors made the containment and extermination of eggs legal. We deserted a bit after that; even with the things we did, we couldn’t agree with something like that." says Sarge, being supportive to Beatrix.

    "I...am very sorry about what happened to your own child, it is good you decide to help the others." asserts Ryan, nodding and smiling at her.

    "Well, this is great news though. With Beatrix's method, we may have an alternative while we wait for Arceus's return." assures Eve as she moves next to Beatrix, places her arm on her shoulder and hugs her.

    "Oh! Eh! I guess so?" Beatrix feels happy and slightly uncomfortable at same time, she’d never had that much physical contact with Eve before.

    "All right Próceres, in our next mission, we will bring Beatrix's eggs to base, so she can move in with us, and we all can take care of them. If that's alright with her." Eve turns her head to Beatrix, who nods at her, happy with what Eve is doing for her. Eve stares back and turns her head to Ryan and Sarge. "That settles it."

    "Bzzt, what about that Staraptor?"

    "He will come back? And whhy he said bad things about you? Why he attacked you?" asks Ryan being naturally curious, however the rest wondered the same.

    "He also mentioned an Icy Odd Ruler, the first one that comes to my mind is Geo. Could he be still alive after all? If so, what does he want from me?" also asks Beatrix.

    "Yes, it is likely to be Geo, and probably Flare is cooperating with what remains of the Miserables. He came to inject discord with us and then lead Beatrix into a trap." Eve doesn't take spend too long to explain, though everyone but Beatrix is satisfied with the explanation.

     "Eve, if that's so, then why does he want to meet me at the Peak? That makes no sense."

    "We'll find out today, Beatrix. Próceres, here's the plan..."

==

Ahhhh, am sorry for taking so long with these, but don't worry, I'm everyday always getting work done ahead with Era. But yeh, it's still going

Meanwhile the Próceres have a reunion about the situation with the Elixir; the strange Staraptor, Flare, comes by to do more than just tell them what seems to be some advice and predictions.
