Zack saw the Mewtwo take a pile of whiffle dust out of somewhere and throwing it out the window. What was it? Ash? Or maybe some drugs? He tensed up, ready to pounce on the prosecutor for bringing in illegal commodities into the courtroom. Could he have been trying to contaminate this courtroom? Then he realized that it was Sacred Ash, a rare commodity that would revive Pokémon from its dead state. Zack relaxed slightly. He rolled his eyes at the Mewtwo's foolhardy attempt to revive Pika_Power from a great distance. "Yeah, I try healing that pipsqueak with a Max Revive/Full Restore concoction and this lamebrain teleports him out before it can wake him up." He flexed his gloved fingers. "Moron." Of course, he didn't say any of this out loud. But if he was right, this prosecutor probably knew what he was thinking by his body language...
Kairi waved back half-heartedly. Although she was supposed to have faith in Sora, there was reasonable doubt in her mind. After hearing his story, she felt ashamed. She remembered the days where the boy she had a crush on was nothing more than a blurry face in her memory. She insisted that she knew who he was, but the thoughts wouldn't click together. And then the day when Roxas communicated with her happened. The memories of Sora had come flooding back to her piece by piece. She was overjoyed that she could finally remember the slow-witted, but adorable guy that she wanted to make out with. But now that she heard everything from his lips out in the open, she wondered how the defense would disregard his claims. He may be a dunce at times, but he wasn't a liar. She was sure of it. Naminé had remembered everything that Sora had said. It was all the truth as far as she knew. After all, since she was the one who manipulated his Chain of Memories, she saw everything that Sora had seen and experienced. She still felt slightly guilty that she had been desperate enough to even face Sora, but she knew that Marluxia was the true mastermind behind the entire plot. She sighed. Hopefully she didn't have to go up on the witness stand again. She had already said everything she needed to. Right? Zack was slightly taken back by what 150 had said to him. He didn't say anything about a tail whip. He couldn't have read his mind due to all the psychic-proof reinforcement equipment. He finally decided to put it off as the Pokémon reading his body movements. It reminded him of the "Perceive System" that the demonic horned defense attorney and the schmuck with the cloak claimed they possessed. He considered the available options that this prosecutor still had. He could still telekinetically lift small objects and send them flying. That could mean he could pick up tiny discarded objects like the open bag of Skittles or some paper clips and fling or shoot them at people. Zack made sure that his invisible force field protected him and the judge from any lethal weaponry. If the Mewtwo decided to fling stuff at the defense attorneys... Meh. As long as it wasn't interfering with the trial or the witnesses, he didn't care. He'd only do something if Xelax or Janexna actually complained about it. And if Xelax happened to use his powers against Mewtwo, the bet he had with the judge would be pretty much won. But right now, as long as it was peaceful... He eyed Jumba's Experiment 626 in its cage. He wondered if he should do everyone a favor and send it back to Hawaii from where it came from. But if the judge was confident it wouldn't cause any more trouble...it still had two more strikes anyway. The little hairball wasn't going anywhere at the moment.
Bajongas. That word cracks me up. :D
The bailiff glanced at the judge curiously but with approval in his eyes. With the combined equipment of the Psycho-Repressor and the telekinetic feedback field, Mewtwo (or 150 as it preferred to be called) was now on even footing as everyone else. Of course, if this Pokémon had thought about it, he'd have taken a page out of his "failed experiment" and learned some physical attacks such as swinging its heavy tail or judo-chopping its opponent. Zack chuckled slightly. Genius Pokémon? That was a laugh. He just hoped that the judge forgot all about the bet... Kairi was still slightly worried about Sora as her face shown with concern. "I hope he'll be alright..." OOC: Repliku, wow. I didn't see that Witness Testimony up there. I was expecting it to be those short bullets that would allow us to press for more details, but... With something like that, I don't see any room for Pressing anything. Either that or this will take awhile. Kinda too bad that the prosecution called him up first. Now it's their (Pika's) job to Cross-Examine the whole thing. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. :p
OOC: Yeah, there's something Zack's not telling 150. But, seriously Pika, you should've waited for your partner before announcing the charges like that. I mean, unless you want to contend with Janexna and Xelax by yourself (which would spell doom for us all) I suggest letting Harvey get his say first. Without him, the original charges wouldn't have stuck as well and Pika would've been penalized at least twice back there. And I for one don't wish to see Repliku leave this RP. :huh: And it's the Golden Hammer from SSBB, BTW.
*sigh* You're not the first and certainly not the last to ask this. But for the millionth time, KH2:FM+ and KH:Re:Com are NOT being released outside of Japan. The only way to get them is by importing it. And you can only play it with a Swap Magic due to the incompatibility issues between a Japanese PS2 disc and a US PS2 system. Square Enix isn't wasting any more money on re-releasing a game that won't sell as well outside of Japan.
Zack wondered if he should answer. After all, he didn't know if this Pokémon's "thought speak" was broadcasted to everyone or just him. But he decided to anyway. "It's pretty simple. Your power's are only limited to talking and minor telekinesis. No mind-reading. No hovering around. No teleportation as was demonstrated earlier when old blondie up there..." He jerked his head toward Roxas. "attempted to dark portal. You were able to teleport before because the field was off and we weren't prepared for your arrival. Now that your DNA is encoded into the system, it's completely locked onto you. Private or not, your "thought speak" is being continuously monitored which can be easily accessed through the Court Record. No 'persuasive manipulation.'" He rolled his eyes and muttered something about having a rival who had the same ability. "Any psychic, status or TM/HM/Move Tutor/hacked/uncanon attacks trigger the feedback. Telekinesis is limited to small inanimate objects. And before you even try it, my dark powers trump your psychic ones. So, I won't tolerate the "Boot to the Head" shtick coming from you." He smirked. "I wasn't an evil genius for the past decade just to be beaten by some low-brow wannabe. And believe me..." Zack gave him a stern look. "...as much as you think you are, you're not the most powerful Psychic-type in the world any more. It's been years since you've even made an appearance. Biotechnology has evolved since you've been seen last. Plus, magic has been integrated with the system as well to counter any physical, mental or spiritual tampering. So any attempt to tamper with the system itself will force all psychic beings into a mental shutdown. In other words..." His eyes narrowed. "...I wouldn't advise trying any funny business unless you want to know what it feels like for your brain to be cleaved in half, your lungs collapsed and your body becoming nothing more than a shell. Are we clear?" Naminé was stunned. All psychic beings? Did this include her too? But she didn't have her powers any more, right? So it shouldn't affect her if the prosecutor did try something recklessly like that. Kairi sighed. The bailiff wasn't taking any chances with this new prosecutor. She hoped that this one wasn't as arrogant as Xelax or Pika_Power was. And if he was worse...well. They'd cross that bridge when it came to it. "One last thing. It's my job to make sure that chaos doesn't interfere with this courtroom. If I see any open physical hostility that caused the first judge to be excused, I'll be forced to use my powers with no mercy and no regret. So, behave yourselves." And with that, Zack walked back to his position next to the judge and waited, cracking his knuckles with a menacing glare to all that opposed the order of the courtroom. And then he remembered. He side-whispered to the judge, "Since Pika_Power's no longer here, can we change the bet to this new Pokémon vs. Xelax instead?"
OOC: I never said he couldn't hear him. I only said that if 150 tries to do any funny business, the feedback field would activate and the Pokémon will suffer a psychic backlash, causing the worst headache that it can imagine, destroying its focus until it stops trying to manipulate whatever. In other words, if 150 messes with the witnesses (or audience), it's going to wish that it wasn't such a powerful psychic. So, talking's fine. Anything that would disrupt this courtroom that involves psychic vandalism or abuse and Zack's turning all that psychic power back into that Pokémon's brain. 'Kay? ;) BIC: Zack gave the judge a little something to prevent any mental manipulation. "Don't want you to get hit by the Jedi Mind Trick after all." He then looked back at the prosecutor. It was more dangerous than Pika_Power when it came to terms of power. But as long as he was bailiff, chaos would be under HIS control and no one elses. He stood straight and tall and waited for the next incident to occur so he could easily nullify it... Kairi was nervous that Sora was being called up. After all, the prosecution and the defense would have a field day in digging for as many answers as they could from her boyfriend. She hoped Sora could take the pressure better than Naminé did... Naminé was also slightly nervous. She had given back Sora's memories. But would it be enough to go on?
OOC: How could I tell? Your post was a page back and I only look toward the future. :huh: BIC: Zack didn't like this prosecutor's attitude. He narrowed his eyes. Yes, he'd dealt with this ******bag before. In another timeframe, he remembered that he used his handy Codebreaker to Master Ball the so-called powerhouse into submission. And in another timeframe he had seen 150 get kicked out of the SSBB lineup and replaced with a Pokémon players would be proud of. He also knew that it had the ability to read minds...if it could. Fortunately for him, Zack had a Psi-dampener implanted in his skull during his Area 51 training. Level 100 Psychics couldn't mess with his mind or use telekinesis on him. Besides, Dark-types trumped Psychic no matter how you looked at it. If this so-called Pokémon attempted to use its powers to manipulate the court...Zack smirked. 150 would be in for one hell of a headache. He very subtly adjusted a knob inside his glove to initiate a telekinetic feedback field. No one would cheat in this courtroom. That was why he was the bailiff... Kairi didn't know what to make of this new prosecutor. It was as if he could read their very thoughts. Her eyes widened. All those lustful thoughts of Sora right now...he didn't read them did he? Think unnaughty thoughts, think unnaughty thoughts... Naminé sighed. She wished she had her powers back. She could kinda sympathize with this new prosecutor when it came to mental abilities. But, at least they were finally getting somewhere.
OOC: You're not getting out of it that easily. :sly: BIC: Before responding to the judge, Zack reached into his pocket and hurled a Max Revive/Full Restore mixture at the Pokemon Prosecutor, instantly healing it back to its awakened and alert state. Then nodding to the judge, he grabbed the card and held it up for all to see. This would be the fate of the Organization if they were deemed guilty. This would teach everyone to take the trial more seriously. Then with a shadow of a smirk on his lips, he walked into the back room, placed Larxene into an envelope and sent it to its destination via first-class snail mail. Looking pleased that he hadn't snapped and stuck it in the shredder like he would usually do outside the courthouse, he returned to the courtroom and nodded to the judge again indicating that the task was carried out. Namine collapsed into her chair and sighed with relief. FINALLY, the nightmare was over...Then she remembered who was up next. She groaned. Did this mean she'd have to go up and testify...AGAIN?! Kairi was slightly afraid of the judge and his ability to wield power like that. If he could transform living beings into cards, did this mean that he could change them into other inanimate objects? Voodoo dolls for example? She shuddered at the thought...
OOC: Yup. Kinda irked the hell out of us. Oh, and we've got a new bailiff that draws on the powers of chaos like Xelax draws on the powers of nothingness (or darkness or whatever the heck he draws it from). :sly: I thank you for the opportunity...just don't piss him off because he WILL get physical if his job pertains to it. :p
OOC: I say deem the charges final with no chance for an appeal. I believe you can do that. :huh: Just bring down the gavel and use the Guilty animation already.
OOC: One last question. What exactly are we waiting for? I hope we're not waiting for Pika_Power to revive. If that's the case, I'm having Zack use a Max Revive on him...
The bailiff suddenly realized that the cause of all the trouble was Experiment 626. Zack wondered if he should bother capturing the little thing and disposing of it properly. Then he shrugged to himself. He would give the little koala three strikes. After that, despite its ability to lift 5000 times its own weight, Zack would make sure that it'd be deported back to Hawaii from whence it came from. Naminé held back a shriek as Roxas' hand had just touched a ticklish spot on her body. But she regained her composure soon enough. She was impressed with the new bailiff's ability to use a "Cosmic Undo button." She wondered how much power this guy really had. It was almost of the same aura as Xelax, only different... OOC: Because he was lazy. He hasn't even shown what he could do yet. Thank Erkz for switching judges. ;)
For crying out loud! If you're sick, get some rest! You don't need to be here! Drink some Gatorade or something. Just try not to move around so much...
OOC: Nice try. But Zack isn't exactly a normal bailiff. :p BIC: Zack's face was impassive. Seeing all the chaos reign, he was finally given the chance to stretch his metaphysical limbs. He started rubbing his hands, slow at first, and then faster and faster. Soon, smoke began to whisp from the blurring motion of his gloves. Finally when the power was built up to its climax, Zack slammed his palms together, causing a giant magic temporal shockwave that cleared the entire courtroom of all flying objects in the Magnega orb and placed them back into their original positions. Seeing that the only thing left out of place was the Pikachu, he shoveled it with his boot and soccer kicked it back to its table. He glared around the courtroom. No one was going to mess with him as long as he was around...except maybe that Riku kid... OOC: So, since we're all here, can we FINALLY finish Larxene once and for all?!
Kairi noticed Riku and the new bailiff starting a little covert intimidation ritual. She rolled her eyes. Typical guys. Never knew when to let stuff alone. She almost wondered what would've happened if the audience was more female than male. Or better yet, the judge. Would "she" have stood for this? Zack cocked an eyebrow at Riku's gesture. Of course, he couldn't actually do anything back to him since he was "on the clock" so to speak. (That and he promised to be on his "best" behavior while inside the courthouse.) Finally he just ended up staring at him square in the eye and mouthed the words, "I...will...end...you," before shifting his gaze back to the courtroom floor. Naminé realized that Roxas had shifted his position from Stitch right onto her lap. She couldn't help but blush. He just seemed so cute when he was sleeping. It was almost a shame when she would finally have to wake him up.
Zack didn't miss the glance that the silver-haired emo gave him. To him, he looked like Sephiroth and Xemnas' offspring. "Punk," he muttered. "I can take him on, no problem..." He looked back toward the Pokémon prosecutor. Zack wondered why the judge didn't penalize him for contempt. The wimpy mouse was holding up the trial. If he had only a few moments alone with him, he'd put that Pika in its rightful place as an underling. Crushing his skull underneath his gold-toed boots. No one would miss him...
OOC: And he was wondering why Kairi and Naminé were frustrated...:huh: BIC: Zack's fingers were twitching. Electric attacks wouldn't work on him. He was also wearing shin guards and a cup underneath all that leather. He wouldn't mind just ending the little pipsqueak right then and there. Kairi felt like getting up from her seat, grabbing Larxene's kunai and tossing it at the Pikachu prosecutor. Seriously. Enough was enough.
Um... *doesn't know what to say* At least your sinuses are cleared, right? :sweat: I hope that stomach acid that just went out your nostrils and mouth isn't stinging TOO badly...
