Thread: Split Ends: Start-Up

"Who is it?" Anthony asked.
Wasn't me.

"It's my brother..."
Zero rushed back in. "What the hell was that?!"

OOC: Just to clarify, Ozias is using his Gallade's telepathy.

"Shit." Alexander said, shutting off the earpiece again. "They already know. Do I get rid of this earpiece now?"

"Yes! We can't risk them getting any more info!"

"What's the point? If Ozias's Gallade can do that, they can just suck the info from our heads." The Glaceon Merge seemed truly rattled by her twin's mad little voice.

Alex pulled it out and snapped it in two before flinging it out into the water. He also threw out all his other communication devices.
"Should I throw out my phone, too? They've got my number and can probably hack it somehow, but I could at least block their numbers..."

Not anymore. I've put up a telepathic shield around you all. They aren't getting any info from you through that Gallade.

"Oh. Good." Alex put his phone away before realizing that the voice hadn't come from anyone on the boat. "Wait... who was that?"

Zero sighed in relief. "I'm hoping they didn't get anything yet."

"That was Ozias. You know him, right?" Sophia asked nervously.

Before you look for me, there's something I need you all to do.

"Yes?" Zero asked.

There's a Merge I need you to rescue from a lab. It's a minor one, just outside Fuchsia. Look for the glowing, green capsule, not a cell.

"Got it."

Back in his office, Ozias was once again filling his file with Ds and humming 'Five Little Ducks'.

"Glowing green capsule?" Alex repeated. "Hm... okay."
Lindsey was becoming very suspicious of this odd voice.

Wait, hold on... The Merge won't be safe to free until tomorrow morning. If freed now, they'll be malnourished and die. That green stuff in the tube is rejuvenating them. Blah, blah...
