Shield Knight looks at Krypt King.

That will work for now.

She taps his shoulder. "Excuse me - we're seeking aid for our comrade; he's been in a brutal battle, as you can see. Do you happen to know where a medical facility is?"

Zakaku does some quick thinking, and with some careful use of Gravity, he holds the tentacles in place.

"Perhaps this may suffice..." Zakaku rips a piece of wood out of the tree, and then lets some of his antidermis leak onto the piece of wood, effectively "seasoning" it.

He takes a few steps back, puts down the wood, and releases his hold on the tentacles.

"Excellent." Becky turns to the projector, pulling out a USB drive...and then pauses. "...is this actually compatible with your projector?"

Meanwhile, back in Sinnoh...

The remaining two Piraka are on patrol, looking around the base of Double and her forces. Because they're still relevant.

"Remind me why we're on patrol, again?" Reidak grumbles. "There's no threats to us at all here! There's no point!"

"Unless, of course, something happens to come after us after getting dropped in from a portal." Avak reminds his fellow Skakdi.

Reidak grumbles, but doesn't raise any further complaints.

The two continue walking for a while...

Then something grabs Avak from behind and delivers a solid blow to the back of his head, knocking him out as he's dragged into the foliage.

Reidak swiftly turns around at the sound of reverberating metal, but doesn't see anything.

"...why did Avak have to be right?" Reidak readies his buzzsaw, ready to let whoever got close have it.

There's silence for a few moments. Then...Blood Stalk steps out of the shadows.

"Oh, it's just you." Reidak sighs. "Hey, look, do you mind searching for Avak? Something's out here, and-"

"Oh, I don't need to look for him. I already know where he is." Blood Stalk casually pulls out the Steam Rifle, turning the dial.

"Elec Steam!"

"SCRAP FINISH! TWIN BREAK!"

Reidak swiftly turns around to see a rapidly rising Grease on a path of gel, and when he notices several sudden gusts of wind, he whips his head around to see the Stag Hard SMASH blocking his path on one side, and the Owl Hard SMASH blocking his path in the air, several energy discs behind him as he charges himself up with energy. And in the process of looking around, he spots the Castle Hard SMASH preparing to charge at him, shields in front, and some sort of laser charging in his forehead...

Reidak promptly realizes he is boned six ways to Sunday. He tries to drill out of there, but it's too late. He only had a few seconds to react, aaaaand he wasted them.

'"Light!" ' Blood Stalk loads a Fullbottle into the Steam Rifle, and takes aim. "Fullbottle! Steam Attack!"

Grease dives towards Reidak, gel swirling around his extended foot like a drill.

The Castle Hard SMASH charges at Reidak, firing his laser point blank at the Skakdi as he does so.

The Stag Hard SMASH charges at Reidak, slashing at him with his two blades.

The Owl Hard SMASH dives towards Reidak, energy discs slamming into Reidak to add to his impact.

Blood Stalk fires an enhanced electric attack at Reidak, throwing a few Cobras at him for good measure.

Now, while Reidak can take a lot of punishment, that's over time. When he can adapt. Hit him with many, many big attacks all at once before he gets a chance, and...

What's left of Reidak promptly collapses to the floor, the light in his eyes dead.

"Well, that was easy." Grease remarks, brushing off some of Reidak's body. Yeah, it...it didn't really react well to having so much shit thrown at it at once, especially considering one of those things was a laser that can raze several city blocks and that's without taking into account that Reidak took it at point-blank.

"Surprising how easy it is to take him down when I tell you these sorts of things, right?" Blood Stalk chuckles, only to look and see that Grease is blatantly ignoring him, moving over to Tephra.

"Now we just need to deal with him..." Grease looks down at Avak...only for Blood Stalk to promptly stab Avak with one of his whips and pump the guy full of enough poison that he ends up disintegrating.

Grease glares at Blood Stalk.

"Better to not give him the chance." Blood Stalk shrugs. "Anyway...I'm off to inform Double of the tragic loss. You should get going. Or don't. Ciao!"

And Blood Stalk is off.

Meanwhile, in the Dreambubbles...

A being that has long been separated, his individual components having been split by unknown circumstances, opens his eyes for the first time in nearly three years.

He gets up to his full, twelve-foot height, flexing his hands and looking over his reptilian face.

"So that's what he meant..." The Golden-Skinned Being muses.
