Captain Flare and Cragalanche continued to sleep through the roar from their ally. They seemed to be some rather heavy sleepers... The Gengar was fueled rather well by the dreams he had eaten... as bad as they tasted. He quickly turned around however as Arle roared in fury.

The infected did not have a chance to make a move as Holy Fire penetrated his soul. The dastardly ghost's spirit covered in the judgemental flames. The Gengar gave a scream as the Holy Fire wiped the foul monster's remaining energy. He faded into nothingness but this time he did not seem to return.

The Lickitung was still in for a divine beatdown of his own. The Lickitung had no time to react as a lance hit it's sensitive tongue and pinned the glutton to the ground. He tried to pull free but the sensitive tongue being pinned caused it way too much pain as it's body was giving up just from that. It was Arle's divine drop kick that really sealed the deal however as the blow sent the Lickitung as far reeling back as it's tongue would let it. A bright glow overtook the body of the Lickitung until it reverted into a trophy.

Meanwhile, the sapling in the middle of the room was steadily growing bigger and bigger. Once what was a baby tree was a lot more developed now though still small for a tree. "Yeah! Show them what it means to mess with Arle! Keep holding in there!" Viridi encouraged Arle. She seemed to be enjoying Arle's solo efforts.

Suddenly, if Arle was aware of her surroundings, she would notice flames gradually building up around her. If she was too slow to react, the flames would take hold of her body and hold her in the air while they spiraled her body. After the surprise attack, an infected Braixen would make herself known. It would look like she was here for a little show.

(Roll a 16 or higher to evade the Fire Spin. If Arle fails, she takes 1d10 damage and is magically grappled by the flames. She can only break free from the flames with a roll of 16 or higher in Wisdom... Or getting someone to hit her while she is focused on making the flames dance around Arle. Or you could try to distract her with the threshold being 13.)

Arle withdrew her lance from the lickitung and swung around, only to notice flames licking at her. In all honesty, she couldn't feel the heat. She was already so hot that the difference between her body temperature and fire was difficult to notice. However, she did see the flames and promptly spread her wings, taking off into the air to dodge Braixen's fiery grapple. Arle nearby, skidding to a stop and folding her wings behind her. She turned her gaze upon Braixen, a sort of hatred in her eyes. However, her body was giving up on her and she knew that her situation could quickly spiral into death if she didn't take care of herself. Thus, Arle began healing herself as she moved.

p_1d5+4 (Arle's Healing Magic)

"...So what, you're here to eat me too huh? Gonna cook me a little before you try?" Arle remarked bitterly as she stared down the braixen. "Can't say I blame you." Arle would relent for a moment. She couldn't fault one for trying to cook their food, even if their food was Arle. "...Suddenly I know how Seriri feels." Arle would go on to mumble to herself. "But here's the thing lady! I'm not into it, and if you think you've got what it takes to challenge me come get some! I'll use you as a pincushion!" Arle roared, lunging forward and attempting to jab the delphox with her lance.

The Braixen seemed rejected as Arle refused to be the subject of her Fire Spin. Still, the fox was determined to put on a show... Even if there was no audience here unless you count Arle's sleeping partners. The magical fox did not really seem concerned with whatever Arle's problem was. Still, she was unable to evade as the lance pierced her and sent her flying backwards. She promptly caught herself and used her hands to bounce herself to her feet as she took her wand for her next trick.

"... Actually, Arle, that is a Braixen. I think she is the least likely thing to eat you we have seen in this temple. Though I am not sure what her diet actually consists of outside the usual... But this one seems a lot more interested in it's magic acts than putting you on the menu," Viridi stated in response to Arle's paranoidness.

Cragalanche's eyes lit back up as he felt the next foe has arrived. The rocky titan pushed itself back to it's feet before looking at the Braixen. Captain Flare disappeared midsleep before reappearing with a stretch and yawn. "Good morning... Anything happen while I was out, Lady of Justice," Captain Flare asked... This was clearly the best of backup.

The Braixen placed her twig in the air before jumping on it. She then rid the magic wand like a broom at Arle at high speeds. The front of the wand created a flaming aura as she got near to crashing into Arle.

(Roll a 14 or higher to evade the Flame Charge.Deals Normal Damage and getting hit will boost the dodge threshold of Braixen to 16)

Braixen then flew around and channeled psychic powers onto Cragalanche. The Commanding Officer once again did not have the mind to override the influence. Braixen lifted Cragalanche into the air and made him do a little dance like a puppet attached to strings. She then threw the heavy Cragalanche at Arle.

Arle seemed... unconvinced. That yoshi hadn't looked like she could eat her either, but it hadn't stopped it from happing. Most of these monsters had taken her by surprise, and she was feeling extremely anxious. "A-Are you... sure about that?" Arle stammered out. She seemed pretty messed up about the whole ordeal, judging by the troubled look on her face and the distress in her voice. Suddenly, however, the delphox was coming right at her. Time to DOOOOOODGE.

gVbsBKV5p_1d20+1 (Arle's rather pathetic dodge)

Arle was struck and knocked back, flapping her wings rapidly to help regain her balance and stop her backward momentum as she spun out of the way of Braixen. Even though her body was dangerously overheated, she still felt cold. She could feel something very wrong in the pit of her stomach, but she also couldn't give up now. It was beginning to make her delirious. Not when she was doing so well! If she didn't impress Viridi now, after this disaster of a mission, what was she worth? Arle once again summoned her holy rage and attempted to purge the starvia inside of Delphox, a destructive process that would almost certainly kill Delphox even if she succeeded.

p_1d20+4 (Arle's Exorcism! 1D25 damage and 30% chance of burn)

Arle then rushed the delphox, carrying her battered and broken body forward with the strength she had left. Arle would twist to her side as she got close, bracing one of her feet against the ground and lifting her other leg high into the air over her head, attempting to roundhouse kick delphox in the face! As she put her foot back down she would immediately bounce up off of it, performing a flip and attempting to follow up with a snappy kick to delphox' chest.

Cragalanche laid on the ground in a heap before picking himself up as Arle began to strike at the vixen. The Braixen gave a shout at Arle trying to purge her of her Starvia. She even got burned by the holy liberation as this world did not seem like it was going to give her fire typing a break. Still, the Braixen stood her ground and was still able to continue with little problem. The burn was terrible but her infected body forced her to fight on for the world of appeal.

The magical Kitsune fell off her wand and prepared herself as Arle was engaging her in Melee. The mage jumped back as the Roundhouse missed her completely. She was not as prepared for the finisher however as it knocked her to the ground with that flip kick. "Who is the Goddess of Nature here? I am pretty sure I am the qualified one here. Besides, like I would let you become lunch. If things go too far I can warp you out of there," Viridi reassured. Her definition of too far was a tad bit loose... But she seemed to at least not leave Arle behind.

"Hey, you look worn out. Eat this," Captain Flare offered as he pulled a Maxim Tomato out of his cape. It would seem the Super Hero had a healing item to help Arle live a bit longer. Meanwhile, Cragalanche threw a large stone at Braixen followed by turning one of his hands into a rocky whip and lashing at the magical fox Pokemon.

(Captain Flare has given Arle a Maxim Tomato she may eat to recover 50%)

The Braixen's eyes open up as she recovered from the flip kick she just endured. She then noticed the darkness as a huge rock was about to fall on her. Her eyes widened before she rolled out of the way and hopping to her feet. She was caught off guard by the stone whip followup however. The rigid lash sent her into a twirl as she turned the blow into some kind of spectacle and gave a wink as a bright light that shone like the sun came down on her. Magic began to swirl around her body as she seemed to slowly recover her life.

(Braixen used Sunny Day. She will automatically recover 1d6+her Charisma per turn for 3 turns)

p_1d6+4(First Turn heal for Sunny Day)

She then pointed at Arle in an exaggerated tone as she prepared her next trick. She then did a come here finger motion as she tried to override Arle's willpower so she could take control of her body for a moment. If she succeeded, Arle's body would be forced to dance in the air like some form of puppet for a bit of time. Once she had her fun, she would toss Arle's body at her stony friend to harm her before relinquishing her control. If she failed to gain control however she would give a pout at being denied the dance.

(Roll a 16 or higher in INT to avoid "Dance for Me!". If failed, Arle takes normal damage and does smaller damage to Cragalanche as well)

Arle seemed to deflate as Viridi lectured her. As much as she wanted to believe Viridi, she was hurting too badly in too many different ways to really convince herself that the danger of being consumed was anything but imminent. Still, she wouldn't argue with Viridi--and so she just sort of relented--even if she wasn't really feeling it. "Alright...." Arle replied, catching a maxim tomato. Now that was something to brighten her day. Arle quickly consumed the tomato with an unladylike lack of restraint. "Whew! Feeling a bit better now. Thanks, Captain Flare." Arle remarked, smiling weakly at Captain Flare. Rather suddenly however, her mind was under attack!

ErtTe9L_p_1d20+2 (Arle's Dance Resistance)

And then... Arle was... She...

"Wh-What? I'm... I'm feeling the groove?!"

Arle began to perform a very silly, self-deprecating dance that involved a lot of hip swinging and silly hand gestures. She turned a nice shade of red in embarassment, but was unable to free herself from the mind control. She didn't much care for a dance that put so much attention on her waist, and she could only imagine that someone--somewhere, was laughing at her expense. Arle turns to the fourth wall and stares into your soul. Suddenly she was launched at Cragalanche, just kind of bouncing off of him like a ragdoll and landing nearby. "Nnn... I don't think that dance really compliments me." Arle whined as she picked herself up.

Arle would then rush back in, attempting to once again jab Delphox with her lance. A burst of bright light flew off of it as she thrust it forward. "Better retreat now, or you'll regret it~!" Arle warned rather teasingly.

Captain Flare's single eye just blinked as Arle started to dance for some reason. Cragalanche just watched with a blank stare as he was not sure how to feel about this. This magical fox was a little weird. His stare remained expressionless as her body landed against her. "Feeling the groove is right! I do not know what you mean. I thought that dance was very fitting for you. Shame you probably don't want to do it again," Viridi chimed in with some laughing. Though she clearly found it funny too, her compliment still was genuine it feels.

Braixen meanwhile failed to evade Arle's lance once more as she stumbled back. The fox took a moment to compose itself as it seemed to be considering another act.

Cragalanche looked at Captain Flare for a good few seconds. There were no words but Captain Flare seemed to understand the command. "Right, commander! Time to show this fox our own little show!" Captain Flare responded. The infected Braixen tilted her head at the implications of what they said. Cragalanche punched the ground as stony rocks tunneled through the ground towards the Kitsune. Captain Flare meanwhile shot a meteor when he seemed to think the time was right while Cragalanche ran at the Braixen.

The witch fox did not seem to understand what was going on as a tower of spiky rocks shot up and shot her into the air. She did a flip in midair in an attempt to recovery. This failed however as a meteor intercepted her and nailed her to the ground. She opened her eyes slowly from the impact. However she had no time to recover as Cragalanche jumped into the air right above her... After that her smashed body reverted into a trophy from the efforts of Captain Flare, Cragalanche and Arle.

Meanwhile the plant in the room has gotten extremely large. The ceiling looked like it could not contain it at all. The entire roof started to cave in as the tree threatened to smash right through the roof. "Good job, team! I think the Forces of Nature Factory can handle it from here. Time to get you out of there before you become a pancake!" Viridi stated as the roof started to fall down. A strong wind came by and in what felt like an instant, the three were outside the temple as it seemed to be crumbling.

"I think you deserve a break after that, Arle. Going to take time for that factory to produce more minions. If you want I can warp you to the Sanctum," Viridi offered.

MISSION COMPLETE!

" . . . " (Did she just--?!)

Arle was stunned into embarassed silence as Viridi not only praised her dancing but suggested that she would like Arle to dance for her later. Th-This was not an ideal time for her heart to be aflutter! It was already beating a mile a minute! Arle was stunned into silence, speechless at Viridi's remark. However, soon Braixen went down to a combination of allied fire and Arle breathed a sigh of relief as the group was promptly teleported outside to evade the collapsing cavern. Arle was still shivering uncontrollably from the licking she received--pause for rimshot--but she now felt a sense of overwhelming relief now that she was out of that cavern. Cheeks stained with a combination of tears and saliva, she couldn't be any happier when Viridi invited her up to the sanctum for a break. "Yes please. That sounds... wonderful." Arle replied, tapering off into a gentle sigh. Maybe after a good night's sleep she'd feel a little better. Or not. She was messed up in all the wrong ways.
