05 ☣ video/action for route 7

[ripped]

[The feed opens on Buster, glowing. Red looks mildly annoyed, because her marvellous evolution wasn't video-taped. Buster himself is shuffling around, trying to avoid the camera.]

Come on, don't tell me you're getting shy now. I told Nanako she'd get to see.

[Hey, it's a big step in the life of a Bagon! What if his wings are too small? WHAT IF HIS TAIL IS FAT, GUYS. Red says something, probably offensive, which at least gets Buster to stop actively running away. If the bitch can do it, so can he, dammit.

Buster caves and lets the glow settle over him, hunching down as if to pounce. It's clear that under the light the great big cocoon of a shell his body has been hiding in is cracking and peeling, his form doubling, tripling in size—Nero and Red are forced to back up, and finally the wings unfurl, huge red arcs sailing overhead. Nero chuckles, a little breathless, pleased and impressed.

The glow fades, revealing...Buster, bigger, huge, badder, teeth the size of knives, yellow eyes the size of dinner plates and a great big set of horns on either side of his head. And wings. Wings more than big enough to fly on. The remains of his shell are now a hard casing that shields his underside, protecting his belly from threats below. (Also his tail is not fat. In fact, it is muscular and sexy. You know, if you like dragons in that way.)

Buster's first order of business (after checking himself out) is to roar in Red's face. FUCK YOU, BITCH!!!!!!!

Aww yeah, that felt good.]

Hey, not ba—hey!

[The 'gear goes tumbling as Buster then lunges for Nero, snagging his teeth in the young man's jacket and...yanking him up and over the Salamence's broad back. Attack his trainer? More like taking him for a test drive. Nero barely has time to regain his composure before Buster unceremoniously—kind of trips over his own wing okay, you can evolve and look badass but dignity is apparently not included in the package, and—takes off. The last sound is Nero's exhilarated whoop and Red's unhappy snort.

The 'gear lands in the grass and switches off.]

Everything alright, Nero?

[video]

[ripped]

[Some time later, looking positively exhilarated.]

Better than all right. That was awesome.

[video] 1/2

[ex_aeroga402]

[Ven can't help just staring for a moment...]

[video]

[ex_aeroga402]

[And then a snort]

Guess I shouldn't be surprised.

video; I told you I was replacing his waifu with a little girl

[ex_dattebane809]

Whoooooa!!

[ That's probably not the best video to see when she first turns on this strange device, but it's one that will have her torn between ALL THE FEELS. She's too befuddled to feel anything but concern, confusion, and a little bit of schadenfreude. ]

H-Hey! You better not fall!

video; crying

[ripped]

[Some time later, Nero reappears, looking windblown and pretty pleased. He's still seated on Buster's back, judging by the red wings stretching behind him--but they're on solid ground.]

He won't let me.

[A rumble of assent from Buster.]

video; look she has red hair AND LIKES PUNCHING THINGS? it's like nero and kyrie's kid okay.

[ex_dattebane809]

Well, how was I suppose to know that?! You just took off into the sky, you know! Without any kind of warning too, you know! [ Yes, she's mostly nervous now as she shakes her fist, the other holding the gear tightly. ] He's the one who was throwing you around like you were a toy too! Is this kind of thing normal!?

[havemercy]

[ They sure did just leave Red and Kyrie behind. With her arms folded over her chest, she'll tilt her head up towards Red. ]

Looks like it's just the two of us for a while. [ Her concern is easily unveiled as she cranes her head just to watch the skies above. After the realization of how futile it is with the clouds in the sky, she'll just scoot closer to Red for warmth.] Is there anything you would like to do?

action;

[ripped]

[Red makes another unhappy growl, low in her throat, but quietly accepts Kyrie's companionship; girls gotta stick together, after all. She's half-tempted to chase the two up there, but gets the feeling Buster would smack her right out of the sky if she tried to steal his thunder. She just shakes her head at Kyrie's offer, feeling like doing nothing but glare her anger up the two joyriding.

It takes a few minutes before the pair finish circling and dive back down, alighting a few meters away. Nero is outright grinning, eyes wild.]

Kyrie! Kyrie, you gotta get up here!

action;

[havemercy]

[ Lady pals are the best pals, alright Red? Stick with Kyrie and she'll never have to be punched ever again. For every moment the other spends glaring at the sky, Kyrie will look up with unease.

The feeling doesn't go away when he lands and suggests something of that nature. ]

Up where? [ Wait, he's asking while still perched on Buster's back. ] Up there?

video;

[comeatmibro]

[ Guess who's just as excited as Nero (and shows it, even)?

Miyuki's cheering loudly. ]

Yeah! Whoohoo! Friggin' awesome, Metal-bro!

[ And when her whooping and cheering dies down to laughter, she adds: ] I've gotta get me one of those, dude.

video;

[ripped]

I'll hook you up if he gets me any eggs.

[Buster, in the background, makes a noise, and Nero chuckles.]

Pretty sure that means he'll need somebody who isn't Red to make 'em with.

[...and Buster relaxes, confident that Nero gets it. Because the thought of mating with Red makes him physically ill.]

video;

[comeatmibro]

Wish I could help, dude. My only chick Pokémon are a Snorunt and a Jolteon. Noooot sure they're compatible.

But if you want a Larvitar egg or somethin', we can make it a trade. Just gotta borrow someone's Ditto. No big deal, 'cause people around here, like... jump at the chance to help a pretty young lady. [ Grin grin! ]

[video]

[shadowdive]

[Impressed? Very much so. He's going to get some dex information before speaking up.]

Nice. He was hiding quite a surprise as his final form, despite that dorky looking middle one.

[video]

[ripped]

Told you he'd be big. Didn't believe me?

[ video ]

[getthehorns]

[ Low whistle ]

I gotta admit, that was fragging awesome.

[ video ]

[ripped]

Not bad, huh?

[Nero comes on some time later, with a resting Buster in the background. He's looking like he just spent the last couple hours flying, cheeks flushed from altitude and eyes bright.]

Flying is better than I thought it'd be.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

...Awesome. [That's an awesome Salamence. Atsuro's gotta have one of them!]

And how's that ride?

[Video]

[ripped]

Pretty sweet, if I do say so myself.

[Just over Nero's shoulder, Buster huffs, satisfied.]

video;

[usedlaserbeam]

[An approving Quagsire is holding the Gear up to its smiling face, too close for the camera to catch much more than its nose and maybe one of its eyes (it's a Quagsire, what does it know about how to use a Pokegear?), and then promptly drops it on the ground to applaud mightily for Buster's prowess. This is super exciting! It flew and everything! Good job, big-winged dragon thing!]

Quaaaaaaaaaaaag.

video;

[ripped]

[Nero is a bit quizzical at first, but he finds it humorous--especially when he realizes which 'gear this is coming from.]

Hey there, little guy.

[Buster is in the background, looking pleased.]

[video]

[suzakufeather]

[It starts with Yukiko being pinged by him mentioning 'Nanako'. It may not be the girl she knows, but sure enough, it's enough to get her to keep watching. The process of watching an evolution isn't something she's had the privilege of seeing yet, so it's a discovery. It is quite amazing.

Though not as amazing as the first impression she's going to get of him being picked up and shoved onto it's back once it has evolved.]

I hope you had a nice flight.

[video]

[ripped]

[Huh? There's a new face. When Nero reappears on the 'gear, he looks a bit windblown, cheeks reddened from wind and altitude and eyes as bright blue as the sky.]

Hell yeah. I'd do that again, any day.

[Behind him, a grunt erupts from Buster's resting form, a quick way to say 'not until I've had a nap, bucko'.]

video;

[kotatsu]

[oh

my

god.

oAo

hold on, give her a second she has too many feels right now and they all revolve around Buster and his over 9000 levels of cool awesomeness.]

video;

[ripped]

He--whoa!

[Apparently it's 'interrupt Nero mid-sentence' day. Buster just knockes the 'gear right the fuck out of Nero's hands and smushes his big nose into it DID YOU SEE ME MISS NANAKO WASN'T I AWESOME]
