15th Tomoe || Video, Action for Goldenrod City

[A tired and quite irritated Sasuke is the first thing that shows up on the gear, and in the background behind him is Obito, Tenten, and Evan. It's obvious that they're outside in Goldenrod City, and although Sasuke looks a little worse for wear he's much better than he was after the Valentine's Attack was done.

Even if he still has bandages over burns and puncture marks and his right arm is still in a cast.]


If I don't answer a message the first time, leaving twenty more isn't going to make me answer any faster. I just went through 174 messages on my gear.

[A heavy sigh, and he shakes his head.]

I was in Ilex forest trying to catch some pokémon. I wanted to do it alone. That's all there is to it.

[Shutting off the video, because irritation is at maximum. He's going to go make Whitney cry get the Plain Badge now, if only because he never wants to be made that weak and vulnerable ever again.]

[Okay, that's it. This kid's beating around the bush and she's too frustrated to keep calm anymore. No more Miss Nice Lightning.]

And what good is that going to do you? It's not going to undo whatever the hell it is he did, and trying to take revenge isn't going to do that, either. You have to let it go.

[She recognizes it as something akin to vulnerability, at least. Her tone doesn't soften though, and she presses forward.]

Vengeance won't solve anything, and when it's over all you're going to feel is empty. [stern look.] You still have your life, Sasuke, regardless of losing everything. Make something of yourself instead of wasting your life on petty revenge.

[Two steps away from a facepalm. She understands a stark loss--admittedly not on the scale Sasuke's referring to, but understands it nonetheless. All this is going to do is get him killed]

Alright, so tell me what killing him's going to do. It won't bring them back, it won't make you feel any better, and considering he let you live it sounds like he wants someone to kill him. Why give him that? Why give the guy who tore your life apart what he wants?

[Making no comment about how a seven year old failed against someone older. of course that was going to happen--what were they teaching him?!]

[Probably not, no. A world that teaches thirteen year olds to kill people on that scale...and then doesn't give the survivor the care that he needs? Here she thought Cocoon sucked.]

And do you really think that's what they want? The dead don't care, Sasuke. There's nothing they can do to change anything. You need to focus on the living, not on killing someone else. One more death isn't going to change anything, no matter why he left you alive.

You're supposed to live. [No, she doesn't get it. Can't get it. She only lost her parents but you can't kill disease. And Serah...she hasn't thought about that. But she knows revenge won't do any good. Think about what they'd want for you, not for themselves. If they were your family they'd want you to live your life, Sasuke. Not throw it away on revenge they can't even benefit from.

[No reply. If this wasn't video and that stunned face was filling the screen, it wouldn't be a stretch to think she'd hung up. For someone like Lightning, someone who values her own family above anything else...to hear something like that might as well have sucker punched her.

Especially given the way he's acting. What little she knows about Sasuke tells her he's not a very good actor and that he's...probably telling the truth. Oh, Etro...]


And killing him alone is your only option? If he managed to take everyone out, he's not going to be easy to take down. You have to know that.

[If it's any consolation, her tone has softened a fair bit. It's not pitying, though. She had enough of that on her own back then, too.]

You can't go through life alone, Sasuke. [Her tone remains soft, but experience colors it even as she continues.] That's no way to live, and when you lose everyone...[she sighs, eyes growing distant.] I can't say I know what that's like. All I know is that you have to go on living without them.

[She pauses for a moment, getting her proverbial feet back beneath her. There is something that needs asking, though.]

You said you had to get revenge. Can you explain why when you know it's not going to do anything good?

[He can't see it, but the grip she has on her gear tightens. She knows what he means. "Without Serah, there's no future to plan for." No reason to go on when time ticked down against her. It's not the same, but on some level it still is.

But there's no reason to live like that. Maybe she got lucky, but she knows it's possible to change your mindset. ...Still, it didn't happen overnight, and when he changes the subject so abruptly she doesn't try to bring it back around.

Not with what it ends up being, anyway. Sasuke what the hell did you do?!]


And why do you need to disappear?

[Bowser identified him--shit. She knows where this is going.]

And now you're someone they want to take out. Is that where this is going?

[A heavy sigh. You kids will be the death of her.]

Fine. I'll meet you in Ecruteak. [The feed shifts, she whistles sharply and there's the sound that can only come from the unholy union of a buzzsaw and a bird of prey. Poor Snow just got back but now he's flying again.] You're lucky I've got a place for you to hide out in.

[Oh, she knows. That doesn't mean you kids won't be the death of her anyway.

She shrugs at the question.]


If it does, we'll deal with it. You're not the first person I've had to rescue from Team Rocket this month.

[Nor will he be the last, she's sure. Saves them from hiring workers for the house, at least.]

Good. [A glance at the camera from where she's still moving to get some things ready.] If they try and come, they might as well. We've got the room

[And they don't need a group tearing the place apart to find him, that's for sure.]
