Good thing Robin is there. Anasui's tired from the run up the mountain and he can't react as quick as he could have normally. He can only watch as Robin stretches out and scoops Catrina into her body, before getting blasted to the side.

"Shit!" Anasui curses, watching Mega Froslass charge up a Shadow Ball He wants to Ally Swap but he doesn't know if it will work for both Pokemon or if he'd only swap places with one of his targets (and he wants Catrina in his stomach even less than he wants to be trapped in a sarcophagus) so instead Anasui takes a deep breath and moves.

"Diver Down!" Underneath his feathers, Anasui's body glows and the man lets loose a mesmerising Lumina Crash, almost like a flashbang. Mega Froslass winces and drops her attack as she's momentarily blinded, but doesn't relent. Instead, with eyes closed, she raises her arms and icicles spear up through the rock around them, trapping them in an arena.

"Guess she doesn't want to talk and really wants to fight," Anasui growls. "Fine by me!"

There is something deeply disconcerting about having someone in your body who desperately wants to escape, Robin realizes, regretting her decision deeply. The lid holds, mostly because Robin is still face down. She floats back upright, staring down Froslass.

"We will have to make this quick." Robin says to Anasui, neither wanting Catrina to escape or to prolong her self-imposed body horror. Robin launches at Froslass, all four arms a flurry of Shadow Claws, dodging around further attacks as best she can and holding her lid closed whenever she feels Catrina going for another escape.

"Don't need to tell me twice," Anasui says back to Robin, staring up at the towering mega Pokemon. Froslass' winces as Robin's Shadow Claws dig at her but then her eyes flash dangerously and she stretches out her arms. Anasui frowns, hearing the winds whip up behind the group, and he lunges forward, narrowly avoiding an Icy Wind.

"She's faster than last time," Anasui calls out, scowling. "Keep on your guard." Anasui can see Froslass charging up another Shadow Ball, and he runs in close to Froslass to grab her attention, using Aerial Ace right on her. Froslass hisses and at the last moment changes her target to Anasui, hitting him dead on. Anasui grimaces in pain but staggers back.

"Damn bitch-" Anasui starts before he winks out of existence, falling in a rift that had suddenly opened underneath him.

quest results did say someone else from town can show up,

Distracted by the new meaning of internal screaming, Robin takes another Shadow Ball and is almost knocked into a rift, but is saved by something flying out of the rift and hitting her in the head, sending her spinning through the air as she hears another scream that hadn't been in the fight before.

Kinger screm Kinger was not expecting to see Froslass today, or to be suddenly falling through a rift to a snowy mountain. Face to face with a Mega Evolved version of the ghostly queen, Kinger does all that he knows how to do:

"AGH!" Kinger screams an Astonish at Froslass, stunning her briefly. "Oh hello! Do you want to hear my song again?"


Robin grabs the mushroom and throws him back through the rift to town to safety, and lands back on the ground to recover briefly before getting back in the fight.

Omg based bringing in your other muse- also sorry for the delay

For a brief second, Anasui's stunned, seeing the sun shining down on the mountain with neither his teammates or Mega Froslass in sight. Instead, there's a rift to his right where he can see... Froslass looking into a rift similar to the one he was looking in right then and there.

"What the-" but the rift is gone the next moment, and cracks in reality are forming all around Anasui. Not one to let his guard down, Anasui trusts his instincts and uses Light Screen on himself before leaps into a portal, eager to get back into the fight.

As Mega Froslass is charging up a second Shadow Ball, Anasui appears right behind her. The bird frowns and immediately uses Ally Swap to take the hit for Robin (and by extension, Catrina). Anasui skids back from the impact of the blow but with the Light Screen he remains standing.

"Your attacks hit harder! You strike, I'll support you!" Anasui yells to Robin as he shoots off another Lumina Crash to drop the Mega Froslass' concentration. "We have to wrap this up quick before there's more portal bullshit!"

Robin reels back with all four of her arms, ready to deal a finishing blow to Froslass, her arms radiating with spectral power.

"Quatro Fleur..."

Then Robin gets hit by an attack she wasn't expecting- from the inside. The sarcophagus lid finally flies off and Catrina flies into the air elbow-first. The force of it knocks Robin backwards, away from the Rogue Mega Queen and her unhinged suitor.

"Catrina!" Robin yells, reaching out a hand to try and grab her, but she's just barely out of reach.

anyone can control froslass of course

Anasui hisses loudly as he tanks another blow for Robin but, thankfully, he's still standing. The bird turns to Froslass to try and keep her attention, and he can see Robin behind Froslass about to end this. He holds his breath and-

"What? Catrina!" Anasui yells, eyes wide.

Froslass turns, eyes wide. However, she's already haggard from the onslaught from Robin and Anasui, so she doesn't have the strength to counter. Instead, she instinctively catches Catrina, though she has... no idea what's going on.

Froslass is stunned, and reels back in reaction, shrinking down and collapsing to one hypothetical ghostly knee as waves of energy flow off of her. All Robin can do is stare on in complete bafflement as Catrina somehow against all odds manage to melt the heart of this icy queen.

Robin turns to Anasui. "Is that really...?" She doesn't even know how to finish the thought.

"I have no idea," Anasui replies immediately, looking past Robin to stare at the ghostly duo. He purses his beak together, unsure what to make of things.

Then, Anasui roughly throws up his wings, making the bird-approximation of throwing his hands up in exasperation. Whatever! He's seen weirder. He's just irritated that Catrina got... exactly what she wanted the whole time.

However, while irate, Anasui does notice that they're suddenly not alone. Now that the Snow warning was clearing, he can see other groups he recognises. Had they all been fighting Froslass too?

"...We'll figure out what happened after. For now we have to decide... do we finish the job or bring her back to Skull Town for interrogation?"
