Ashe stopped at the ready, leaning one arm on Theodora in a very casual manner. "I believe there's one or more left, Doctor. The others are dealing with them as we speak. Their plan's turning to Ashe." Ashe explained with a wave of her free hand. What might appear to be overconfident boasting to many might just serve as a hint for Chell, coupled with the way she briefly, purposefully glanced at Chell as she said this. Yeah I'm smooth like butter. What of it? She then glanced over her shoulder following Beta's gaze, briefly catching sight of the box. ...She didn't remember passing a box. Whatever. Boxes weren't important. She was being asked a question. Ashe quickly fished out the I.D. she'd pilfered off whichever poor sap she'd taken out to obtain this disguise, giving it a brief lookover as if to make sure she'd produced the right card before handing it over to the scientist. "My name's Gerard." Ashe quickly added as she held out the ID. Sure enough, the ID matched the name given. She didn't sound nervous at all. In her own mind, she was undetectable. She hadn't even tried anything yet, and you didn't get much more thorough than her A-trans.

[Blade Unlimited]

Shiya's plan was flawless! Through the small slit in the front of his box, he was presented with the restricted, but clear, sight outside of his cardboard cloak of invisibility! [Alright. Stage 1 of the plan is complete!] Shiya self-congratulated mentally... legitimately surprised that he'd gotten this far, in all honesty. To be quite honest, a small part in the back of his mind always did seem to expect his plans to fail: This one especially seemed a little too ridiculous to work initially... and yet it had somehow been his first to succeed!

If Chell, or anyone really, were to take a look at the box; they would find the words "NOT SHIYA" written on the side: Of course words that would probably sound like meaningless gibberish to anyone there unfamiliar with the mage, but most likely a hint to the portal-thinker as for the mysterious package's true purpose! ...well if they could notice it. The disguise was so fool-proof (Literally. Shiya is using it.) that no doubt even Chell wouldn't be able to see past its masterful deceit!

"Okay... First thing's first." Shiya glanced at Ashe with a curious glare before closing his eyes in concentration. He needed to make sure that he could move fast enough to get to Chell and that remote the doctor was holding before they had time to react, to set the girl free... so he needed a bit more speed. [He looks pretty fast...] He pondered, coming to a decision on his next course of action before placing both of his hands flat against the ground, stooped down so the box was touching the floor on all sides. Time to test out one of his "new" techniques, and what more of a perfect target than Random-Guard-Gerard Ashe?

Cyan lines of magical energy began to weave their way down Shiya's arms before traveling off of his palms and onto the ground entirely. Extended past his physical body, the "EnerGy" snaked its way out from under the cardboard box, traveling only a meter or so before they positioned themselves under Ashe's feet, almost like a shadow underneath her boots... where they would then begin analyzing and copying her physical attributes!

Hoping that his new move had work, Shiya decided to utilize his moment of surprise to try snatching the remote from Beta's pocket while his attention was focused on the other infiltrator. Steadily inching bit by bit over inconspicuously, Shiya lifted the box ever so slightly to reach his hand up and try, carefully and silently removing the remote from the scientist's pockets while he was busy conversing with Ashe.

If Shiya was successful, he would pull his hand back into the box where he'd remain still; and nobody would be the wiser! ...if he failed though, he'd have most likely tripped over in the process and instead fallen over into the Dr., the box flipping off and making a loud noise as it rolled away in a spectacular failure!

Chell listened to the conversation and.... Refrained from facepalming at Ashe's pun. Well, at least she knew that Ashe was once again there for her... Still, that box gave her very bad feelings at who it could be... Please do not screw this all up. Especially considering how unsubtle the box was from Chell's angle. She really hoped Beta could not see it, since he was extremely narcisstic, yes, but far from stupid by how she was captured. Morgana meanwhile inched closer as cautiously he could, so no one except the girl could notice. He waited for his moment to strike.

"...." Beta took the ID Card and looked it over, tapping the frame of his glasses, could that really be a nervous tick? ".... Alright, you check out, I hope you understand, precautions are necessary in my line of work," Beta said, before looking to the box... inch towards him... "As for you... I do not appreciate you trying to make a mockery of me!" Beta called out as he held one palm forward and out of his white glove appeared a rounded blue tech that fired off a strong concussive pulse that would blow both him and his box away.

(Shiya! Beta is using his tech to release a powerful concussive pulse on you due to... rather conspicuous tactics. Roll a 16 or higher to evade, due to the box. However, that is if you choose to take off the box, you can try to keep it on, but that will require a roll of 19. Failure results in 25% damage, being exposed, and a 60% chance of Mind Melted)

"Gerard, capture this idiot while you are here and put him in the cell with the other...." Beta began, searching his pockets... Wait, something was not right, where was his remote. "Damn it, I must of misplaced it, throw him in while I go over to the computer to manually unlock the laser grid," Beta stated, as he walked between blue shelves of various books and machinery until reaching a large blue computer.... He really loved that color.

Meanwhile, Morgana quickly jumped back into the vent and crawled back up to Phosphora. "I got his remote access thing.... But I don't have any of the codes.... Do you think you can do anything with it?" The cat requested as quiet he could.

.... Well, clearly not smart enough to not be robbed by a cat. Chell sighed and began to wonder how she got captured so easily. Still, good thing he was trusting Ashe. There was still some hope left.

[heirtothemonado]

From the safety of the vent, Phosphroa watched as Morgana swiftly and silently pickpocketed the handheld from the doctor's person as he was busy dealing with two other people that just...showed up. Leaving them to...whatever it was that they were doing, Phosphora scooted back a bit to give Morgana a bit of space to get back into the vent.

"Hmm..." Phosphora thought as Morgana handed her the device. "I'm not all that tech-savvy, but I can do this!" Generating a small lightning bolt, Phosphora zapped the device. Not enough to destroy it, but just enough to scramble any kind of signal that might be coming through. "That might be enough to disable anything that this device is connected to. Let's see where that takes us"

Ashe was about to chime in with a light-hearted joke when she followed Beta's gaze and nearly jumped as she noticed the moving box! Albert's Ghost, someone followed her?? ...And it wasn't one of Beta's spies? Weird. Really weird. ...Welp. Time to roleplay a bit. "Got him." she replied. Y'know, pulling off a boy's voice wasn't as hard as she thought it'd be! I mean she wasn't manly sounding but certainly boyish at least. Having Gerard's vocal cords certainly helped. Regardless of what Shiya did, Ashe moved in on him like a football player ready to tackle him. Only, she was hesitant to actually try and was mostly just waiting for an opportunity to reach out and grab his arm while slowly advancing toward him. "Alright, the jig's up. Let's reunite you with your pal. Then we can get this party back on track." Ashe remarked, decisively not a very intimidating taunt. To Chell at least, her sentence was laced to the brim with double meanings. Ashe intended to wait until the laser grid was lowered and then get Chell out. But she needed Beta to believe she was a guard until the time came to make their escape.

((Shiya! Ashe is reaching out to grab you! She'll just kinda pretend to arrest you by putting your arm behind your back and holding you firmly if she gets ahold of you.))

Pfqh5LRnp_1d20+6  (Do not underestimate the power of the Solid Shiya Stealth Santa-Box!)

Although Beta seemed awfully sure he'd struck down the box Shiya hid in; it seemed that was simply the scientists' mind playing tricks against him under the influence of the stealth box. Maneuvering around the concussive blasts like no one's business, the "hidden" mage began dashing about the room, dodging past Ashe's attempt to apprehend him in the process before throwing off his box dramatically. (...which kinda defeats the purpose of keeping it on a few moments earlier, seeing as Shiya was going to reveal himself anyway. What a dork.)

"It's showtime!" He shouted out triumphantly before brandishing a generic looking katana at Gerard with a confident grin. "Don't worry Chell, I'm here to rescue you! Operation Stealth Infiltration was a complete success!" Shouting quite loudly at that last part, Shiya seemed to have missed the whole part about stealth missions requiring the exit being stealthy as well to constitute success...

Momentarily turning his attention back to Chell, since his earlier attempt at freeing her had been deterred, the red mage began willing the cyan energy to flow down his magical pathways once more. EnerGy crisscrossed down the youth's arm before expelling out of his palm; the magical projection doubling back onto Shiya's hand as it began taking shape into a tool that would be quite familiar to many in the room: A portal gun!

(Sword Birth[Portal Gun]: 3 turn cooldown)

With one charge, Shiya fired an orange globule of energy from the barrel of the portal gun which traveled through Chell's laser bars (which may or may not still be active) and enveloping the ground at her feet in an orange-colored oval. One shot later directed at the floor near himself resulted in a cyan-green colored projectile of similar color to impact the ground; instead, however, resulting in the two forming a seamlessly connected portal to allow Chell to escape! (Assuming her cage hadn't already been deactivated. If she'd chosen to exit via Shiya's method, her eager rescuer would gladly toss the "homemade" portal gun into it's more suitable user's grips as a temporary replacement.

"We'll bust out of here in no time! Nobody messes with the Shiya Squad and gets away with it!"

Disabling the remote caused the lasers to flicker before shutting down and Beta was still heading toward the Computer so thankfully nothing will divert his attention back to the-... Shiya, you are one of the dumbest people Chell has ever met. And considering Wheatley was programmed to be stupid that's saying something. The noise of Shiya evading capture and attempting to free Chell drew his attention. "What?! Can you do nothing, right, Gerard?! What do I pay you grunts for?!" Beta called out as he put his finger on the bridge of his glasses and pressed down, causing an alarm to go off while Chell slapped Shiya. "You idiot! You're gonna get us both captured! Do you want to be tested on for that copy thing you do?!" Chell called out in obvious frustration, though still notably excluding Ashe. She seemed to be throwing Beta off Ashe's trail in an attempt to cover this up.



"This could be a problem... I got to go. I think it's Akira's bed time," Mona stated before leaving past Phosphora... Hard to tell if it was cowardice or actual parental concern. "Alright, Gerard, knock them out. Now. I'll unscramble the laser grid," Beta stated, tapping a few buttons on his glove as drones descended from the ceiling. Well, this looks bad for all three of them... Well, that was before there was a gust of wind and all the drones were sliced in two as a girl appeared sheathing her sword. "The things my sword can cut are next to none!" "How did you get past the front gate?!" "I got to say your guard was delicious~! Shall I eat this one too?" another girl, a bit larger appeared behind Beta who reflexively turned around and fired off his pulse gauntlet.

Yuyuko was shot back by the franctic blast, Youmu running over to her partner. "... That... happened.... Shiya, be helpful and shield me, I am going to try and hack the Defense Systems and find my tools," Chell advised, loud enough for him and Ashe to hear before running to the computer and attempted to get past Beta and deactivating the security. Probably help if someone got Beta out of the way while Youmu was checking on her mistress.1d20+2

In response to Beta's command, Ashe promptly drew a rather large warhammer from amongst her person and brought it to rest in both hands. That thing looked like it would do a lot more than knock a person out if it got in a good whack over the head. She began to take a step toward Shiya and Chell, only for things to go crazy and two ... girls to appear. Huh? Ashe swore she'd heard that right, befuddling as it was. "...That's not a very ladylike thing to be asking, don't you think?" Ashe awkwardly replied, a little spooked by their entrance. As everything went on, Ashe saw her opportunity. With Chell rushing past Beta and him having just turned to blast one of those newcomers away, his back was fully turned to her and she had a clear path unobstructed by any enemies. "Coming for the prisoner, boss." Ashe called out, announcing her intentions rather matter-of-factly as she began a charge after Chell and Shiya. Of course, this was just a cover. She was announcing her intentions so as to not draw his attention when her thunderous footsteps began heading his way. Chell and Shiya were directly past him, after all, which meant she was also moving toward him. Y'see where this is going?

At first, Ashe was heading directly at Chell and Shiya. She waited until the last moment to slightly shift her direction, charging into Beta's back and unleashing a viciously powerful swing of her hammer directly into the side of his skull!

[Blade Unlimited]

You know, Shiya was really starting to feel proud over how well his plan had gone. Once Chell had exited her imprisonment, he sincerely expected at least some show of thanks: A hug, a hand shake, a pat on the back, hell even a thank you! ...but instead all the boy got was a sharp slap in the face. "OW!" He jolted back, cheek red from the slap, not at all expecting the sudden pain. Cradling his cheek while the freed prisoner berated him, Shiya only cradled his face in an attempt to hold back tears. "B-B-But... I. I w-was sa-saving you!"

"...You slapped me." The mage legitimately didn't understand why she'd hit him, even if she were worried. He just busted her out anyway! Why not hit that Beta guy? ...speaking of which, said scientist and his drones were apparently being assaulted by two girls that had showed up completely out of nowhere. Still a bit stunned, Shiya just stared at the exchange... before letting out a scoff. "Wow. Way to ruin a stealth mission."

"Some people can be SO oblivious."

Now wasn't the time to focus on stuff like that though. Seemingly done with scolding him for now, Chell had instead called Shiya to action in order to assist her. "Something something defend her and hacking" or something like that? "R-Right!" Throwing his hand foreward to point at "Gerard" and Beta, Shiya projected an assortment of bladed weapons in the air before raining them down on the duo... which were standing next to each-other for some reason. [Huh... that's convenient.] "SWORD SHOWER!" He yelled, running up to match pace with Chell as all of the blades rained down on their "enemies" for cover fire. ...he was still work-shopping attack names. Don't judge him!

JGIVe6Qwp_1d20+4 (Phantasmal Rain: Medium Wis Attack; AoE DMG 15%)

Still keeping his eyes on their foes, Shiya took a moment to crane his next so his voice carried to Chell. "...Is that too silly? I don't know, I feel like that name's kinda silly." Now probably wasn't the best time to ask for input on his attack names... but Shiya never claimed to have perfect social timing (Nor has anyone ever in regards to him.) "I mean, it was either that or maybe 'Sword-alanche'. Do you name your moves, Chell?"

"Wait, where are you-?" Phosphora started to asked before she realized that Morgana wasn't with her anymore. Rolling her eyes in frustration, Phosphora continued to watch the scuffle that was going down on the other side of the grate. It looked like the girl was free and the doctor was knocked out. Also there were a number of people there that she didn't recognize. They didn't look to be enemies, mainly because one of them was standing over the unconscious body of the doctor. "Well, there's nothing to be done here anymore. Best go introduce myself" Slowly removing the grate, just in case there were any other enemies around, Phosphora crawled into the room and stood up. "Phew. I was just about to snap in that tiny vent. Good thing everything's calmed down now, I was starting to get cramped."

The captured girl gave a questioning look to Shiya for a moment at that comment. Really? He did realize he was the one that ruined the stealth attempt, right? Still, she made her way over to the terminal while Youmu watched over her mistress, not being the immediate concern right now. The scientist was about to pursue with his guard before, *Crunch* the doctor was blindsided by a blow to the head, his glasses falling off and sliding across the floor as he fell to the floor with a bleeding head. He seemed throughly knocked out and probably won't wake up for a few hours. However, that was not Ashe's only concern as Shiya still did not get the memo!

Chell thought fast and used the portal gun Shiya gave her to create a portal under Ashe and bring her to them with another portal. "She's on our side. Now... don't touch anything while I hack this, please," she insisted before starting to type on the computer. After a moment the alarm turned off as Phosphora entered and an automated message of an all clear cued no one to continue looking. "I... don't name my attacks. It's unnecesary and calling them out makes you predictable unless you need to," Chell replied simply on the matter before walking over to Beta and looking at his glasses before pocketing him. "Shiya, carry him. I want to interrogate him at home after we get my stuff back," Chell explained before walking over to a set of bars. "Thank you for coming too. I'm guessing you are the reason my cell shut down?" Chell inquired to the girl in blue.

"You four can go on for your stuff. Me and Lady Yuyuko will keep watch," the swordsman suggested to which the girl simply nodded before firing the portal gun to make a portal on the other side of the bars and entering one on the side they were on. There was a glass case with Chell's equipment and items in the corner with some code lock. "... This glass is insanely reinforced. Even driving a formula zero race car right into it would not put a crack into it... And this code is insanely encrypted. It'll take even me all day to crack it..." Chell explained... how she figured that stuff out at a glance was hard to tell.

"Now, now. No need to brute force it when I have the codes on me! Get it wrong too many times and you'd be hurten, my groove cats," some... man out of this era with a strangely colored afro explained, keeping a dance in his step. ".... So you want a fight?" Chell asked in a bit of annoyance at his slang. "If you'd be so happy to entertain me I'll gladly give you the password! Just give me a good show, you dig?" The man explained as he tossed out two Pokeballs, calling into the field 2 Pokemon. One was a Ludicolo, dancing without a care, and the other was an Exploud, blasting a funky beat for all to hear.... Wow, he had his own custom stereo Pokemon. "... Let's do this quick and send you back to the 70's!" Chell declared as she ran to the oversized pineapple and attempted to slam it with a kick.

p_1d20+1

However, the Ludicolo span out of the way and replied with a more dancing kick of his own in a pose that exploded with water sending Chell flying back and crashing into the wall, utterly soaked. "No, no, no! That won't do at all! You have no style, you have no grace! This is a dance battle! Show me your funky groove or else you will get sweeped by the flow of our sick moves!" the rather eccentric man declared, both him and his Pokemon dancing in a synched rhythm, neither side missing a beat as they danced in perfect unison. The girl looked a bit dazed from the impact and hurtin' quite a bit.

Perfect! She'd taken Beta out before he even knew what was happening. Shame about not knowing what his DNA could do, but a bit of practice in that body ought to work all of the kinks out. Ashe stood back up and admired her work, for all of the time it took Shiya to try and kill her.

(( Ashe takes Shiya's attack ))

She just kinda stood there and flinched rather hard as a bunch of swords came down and cut into her. While Shiya was busy celebrating, Ashe just kinda righted herself and plucked a few swords from her body. She then turned around, and resumed her original form, catching Shiya talking about naming his attacks. "How abooout Oblivious?" Ashe suggested, placing her hands on her hips. The somewhat short, teenage girl had some synthetic blood on her arms and back from where she'd been cut or stabbed. "It's like 'Oblivion', but for someone who nearly sabotages their friend's rescue on accident." Ashe sharply remarked, playfully teasing Shiya for his failure to notice what was going on. In but a moment, she was bounced on over to Chell. She watched over her from her side. It took all of her restraint not to hug her right then and there. Thankfully, she wouldn't have to wait forever for her chance. "--You were in the vents? Man, those things are gross! I would've snapped too." Ashe light-hearted remarked, giving Phosphora her sympathy. Then, a man emerged talking smack. A harsh exchange left Chell burried against the wall!

"Chell!" Ashe blurted out, megamerging and rushing after Chell. She crouched down over Chell, gingerly brushing the water from Chell's eyes and caressing her shoulders. "Hey... You took a big hit. Are you alright?" Ashe asked, her hands affectionately trailing down Chell's arms until she wound up easing her hands into the other's. "...Looks like we need to play this dude's game. Which means... we need to learn to dance." Ashe asked. She knew neither of them had had a prom. "...I may not know any dances, but I know a thing or two about rhythm! ...Aaand how to treat a lady." Ashe remarked, casting a testy glance back at Miror B. "May I have this dance?" Ashe playfully asked, doing her best romantic impression as she helped the other up. She then shifted to place a hand on Chell's hip, drawing the hand she was still holding up between their chests. A purposeful look was in her eyes. She leaned her head down, and kissed the back of Chell's hand. She was being very forward now, lacking any of the awkwardnesss and anxiousness that had come the last time they'd been thise close.

Turning her head to glance at Miror B, Ashe beamed slightly. "You need to turn down the tempo, because it's time for a slow dance." Ashe remarked gently guiding Chell along with her as she walked back toward that Lombre at a modest pace. "A two person dance should be fun... and intimate. That's the difference between dancing together and dancing alone, right?" Ashe offered, beginning to swing her hips in a rhythmic pattern, ever so gently pushing into Chell to guide her into following along. For a moment that was all she did. Rhythmically sway back and forth, teaching Chell to match and trust her movements. Ever respectul and gentle, yet assertive in their own right.

And then, she twirled Chell around and spun her rather quickly! Chell could feel two heat sources fly past her, ripping through the air. Two streams of plasma, narrowly missing the curves of Chell's body, sailed past her and plowed through Miror B's pokemon. In the brief moment Ashe had released Chell, she'd shot ith both of her busters!

Ashe then quickly moved to embrace Chell, grasping the small of her back and bending her backward off her feet. She was too short to follow Chell over, but she did her best and presented a bright smile. And then her free hand lifted and displaced another charge shot into Ludicolo, all without budging her dancing pose.

p_1d20+5 (Ashe's Charge Shot @ Ludicolo; Does 22% Damage)

And then, she lifted Chell up off her feet, one hand slipping under Chell's thighs and the other supporting her back as she spun about to face away from the enemy group, gingerly tapping her nose against Chell's in a playfully affectionate manner, giggling at the absurdity of the situation as she, in an impossibly deft movement, shifting her entire arm under Chell's back and bottom without jolting her, and bounced a reflect shot off the back wall, attempting to blast Ludicolo again!

p_1d20+5 (Ashe's Reflect Shot @ Ludicolo; Does 26% Damage)

And then, she finished turning and set Chell back onto her feet, holding her upper arms and smiling brightly up at her--right before discharging a burst of plasma at Ludicolo. Boy, she really didn't like that pokemon. Wonder why!

p_1d20+2 (Ashe's homing shot @ Ludicolo; Does 18% Damage)

"See? It's fun! ...Your turn~" Ashe remarked. She'd leave Shiya and Phosphora to work this out for themselves. It just felt ... right that she would be the one to teach Chell to dance. Y'know, ignoring that she was just mimicking TV and improvicing the rest with terrifying accuracy.

"That was me, yeah!" Phosphora replied to Chell. Glad she was being recognized for her efforts at least. As Chell attempted to hack away at the case, Phosphora was more concerned with the newest voice that had entered the room. It sounded rather....out of date, and seeing as Phosphora was eons old herself, that was saying something.

"Ugh, seriously? There's a reason disco died." Phosphora remarked to the strange man that had entered the room. "But..." she went on, a smirk starting to grow on her face.  "...if it's a dance battle you want, it's a dance battle you get!"

Taking note of the song that the Exploud was belting out, Phosphora starting grooving to the beat, shaking her hips and charging up static with every motion, until she let loose a number of small electric shocks released in time to the beat.

Finally, as the music began to build, so did the energy build in Phosphora's body. Starting to spin around and around, Phosphora started move faster and faster until she froze, striking a pose and pointing toward Expload, and if on cue, a thunderbolt dropped from the sky, hopefully electrocuting the deafening Pokemon

So... turns out the guard guy is a guard girl is a girl girl is an ally girl is a stabbed girl... and Shiya made a big oopsie. "Oh.... Oh."

"...I am become error. My 🅱." He held up his hand in an apologetic wave at Ashe. To be fair, she should've done a better job making it clear she was on their side. Really this was all Ashe's fault for messing with Shiya's rescue mission, but he had the feeling she was already beating herself up over screwing with his amazing plan. Turning his attention back to Chell, the mage actually found her commentary on naming attacks. "Oh, really? Well, I get the strangest feeling that a certain 'Sailor Portal', might have something to say on that matter; hmm Chell?" Grinning cheekily, the teen was about ready to bound over and pick up Beta at the girl's request before a human-voltorb walked in. "Oh wait, no that's just his hair... Also holy hell, that afro is amazing."

Shiya commented, though still keeping a wary eye on their new aggressor... And then disco music came on. Okay seriously, this was getting kinda weird even for him. The red mage was just about ready to engage the funky fresh trainer in glorious combat when Chell beat him to the punch... and got utterly rekt back into the wall. "Chell!" He cried out, instantly dashing over to the soaked scientist. Sliding into a crouch just as Ashe approached, Shiya quickly scanned over the woman's form to make sure she wasn't too badly hurt. "H-Hey, stay with me okay. I can't rescue you if you're dead, h-haha." He joked in a quick attempt to ease the situation's tension.

Shiya's reassurance caught in his throat though as Ashe started getting... affectionate with Chell. She locked hands with the girl and pulled her up, prompting the mage to stand up himself as he watched the events which transpired. Ashe's language, her taunts, even if she was doing it to maul Mirror B and his pokemons' faces off with lasers, strangely enough made Shiya feel sick to his stomach. Irritation sprouted up for reasons unbeknownst to the mage as his right eye began to glow fiercely with magic. Something inside his mind couldn't stand seeing this happening; something that urged him to get down there and start dancing too... to claim the rescue mission's credit and beat the bad guy, of course. Yeah, that was the reason.

Snapping his finger, Shiya spun in a circle before striking a wild pose; sticking his arm out and pointing an index finger at Mirror B. "Hey buddy! You better check yourself if you wanna match this funky groove!" He shouted as magical EnerGy trailed down Shiya's arm and onto the ground. In seconds an old-timey stereo had formed on the floor, a tape visible through it's front glass clearly reading "Meme Mix." "Hit it!" As if on cue, the music-player emitted a faint clicking noise before loud music suddenly filled the room.

As the first few bars struck, Shiya launched into song with the instrumental track; strutting forward across the lab towards the disco enthusiast.

"We're no strangers to loooove~"
"You know the rules, and so do I!"
"A full commitment's what I'm, thinking ooooof~"
"You wouldn't get this from any other guy."

At that last word, he spun around again to hold out an open hand towards Chell, grinning like a fool. Swiveling once more, the possessed mage flipped over Mirror B. as two swords projected into his hands in a flash of emerald. Bearing down in tune to the beat, Shiya swung his right sword towards the dancer with a fierce grin before spinning around the Pokemon trainer immediately after to swipe at the back of his legs.

"I ~~ just wanna tell you how I'm feeeelin'~"
"Gotta make you, understand!"

Throwing aside his blades, the dancing swordsman charged his entire body with magical power; EnerGy criss-crossing over his entire form so vigorously that is cascaded off of Shiya's body like lightning. Bursting forward so hard the ground cracked, he attempted to roll in-between Mirror B's legs before throwing an uppercut into the trainer's exposed chest. "NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP! NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN!"

 "Never gonna ru~un around and-" Twirling away and high on his own charm, Shiya's eye disappeared as the flowing vein of magical power concentrated in that spot. His focus landed squarely on Mirror B.; analyzing him of all his aspects before just the one that would benefit him now. "Desert you!" His EnerGy's presence washed over the villainous pokemon trainer, where it'd tug on his existence with intent to quite literally steal a piece of his person. If Mirror B.'s mind didn't prove strong enough to counteract it, then who knows what Shiya could do... probably something stupid. 

"Never gonna make you cry~ Never gonna saaaaaaay goodbye! Never gonna tell a lie~" Definitely something stupid.
