You wake up in a locked room with several other Trainers.

First topic message reminder :

When you wake up, a girl with a blue bandanna is standing. She's wearing a blue, sleveless shirt and black shorts. She is banging on the door. "Ruby!" she yells. "Ruby!? Where are you?" A few feet away, a boy with a white hat that had a red band and a red and black shirt sits up. "Huh? You called?" The girl turns to the boy. "Ruby!" She runs onto her knees and hugs him. "Sapphire, calm down." Sapphire backs up. "I told you, don't call me that." Ruby rolls his red eyes, sits up, and puts on a pair of glasses. "Fine. Sapph, where are we?" Ruby and Sapph look around the room.

*they wave freezes*

~archie

bah, atleast the wave is blocking them...oh?

*kyogre and groudon start fighting*

*Ruby and Sapph exchange a glance. Their marks glow brighter than ever*

-Sapph-

No... this is bad. We need to get Tristram up... he knows what he's doing.

*She starts to fight against her ropes*

*swampert bites of sapphire's ropes. then breaks the huge wave of ice and sends the shards flying at archie*

Thanks, Swampert!

*She works at Tristram's ropes*

I have to work fast....

*the flying ice pierces archie's leg and he falls into the water*

~archie

if i go down i'll take you with me.

*presses button that electrifies tristram's ropes*

*She let's go, taking her hand off his ropes*

I won't let you die!

Swampert! Cut his ropes!

*swampert bites on the ropes but they are band of strong steel, but swampert's immunity to electricity stops tristram and sapphire from getting hurt*

~archie

sharpedo deal with them

*sharpedo charges at them*

Solo, Ice Beam!

*Solo sends an ice beam at Sharpedo. She looks at Tristram, then closes her eyes. She puts a hand on his arm and her marks glow*

If I can't get you up from the outside, I'm going in...

...why cant i move? what's going on?...am i...knocked out?

ugnh

*She backs up, but still keeps her hand on him*

Please... wake up

ugnhh

*eyes steadily open*

huh?...KYOGRE!

*sits up*

agh my head

*She opens her eyes and looks at Tristram*

You're ok!

*She smiles*

-Ruby-

*He gets the ropes undone*

Feeling ok? You took a lot of damage.

y-yea...i-i'm fine

*gets up*

thanks...

*uses markings on arms which cause electricity to be release*

aghh...was i...electrocuted?

Yeah... Archie had a remote that controlled the electric current in your ropes. Are you sure you're alright?

He looks like the living dead...

im perfectly fine...although...now i cant use my arms' markings....maybe...

*closes eyes and focuses, they markings envelope the eyes*

...i think this will suffice

*head throbs, drops on one knee to the ground*

*She holds her head and kneels by him*

What's worse, the new trick or the fact that you almost had another near-death experience?

...i-i said i would protect them... a-and if t-that means a- a little p-pain in my eyes to u-use my power, then i w-will do it...

*gets up*

i wonder how long i can hold up this charade...that electrocution drained my energy

*Sapph raises her eyebrows*

That guy has guts... putting up with all that. Then again, he was an Elite Four member

I can tell your lying, Tristram. You're drained, big time. We're connected, I also have a new trick, and its written all over your face.

huh?...

*kyogre and groudon's fight getting worse*

...maxie is still there....then...let me do this one thing...

*closes eyes for a duration, then reopens them with marks glowing very bright. eyes staring directly at maxie*

leave. NOW!

*blue markings start growing on maxie's head and he drops to the floor holding his head. then all of team magma retreat*

ungh..

*closes eyes shut and sits on floor*

*She sits by him*

H-how did you do that?

i...i dont know...i just...looked at him and focused my power....

*head throbs again*

ngh

the pain of using my markings like that though...

*She inhales sharply and looks down*

I-i don't know why, but almost everytime I use my markings, I get dizzy. No pain... but I get sea-sick.

...why? i dont see a reason for it...unless your depriving your brain of blood or something like that...

*looks at the legendaries fighting*

what can i do? i cant use my arms without being electrocuted and if i use my eyes...the pain

I'm not sure.

When I made that barrier... it was like I was spinning. And all he feels is pain

Er, any idea where the red orb is?

*SHe looks at Ruby*

You had it, and Groudon started... that when you lost it.

-Ruby-

Maxie took it. When he fell, I think it went down with him.

...only rayquaza can stop this now....but there has to be something we can do to...stall...anything
