As Sub appeared in HQ with the others, there was something else alongside him, a man dressed in all blue, looking similar to the Hexagon Brothers, because he was one of them, it was Blusix. "Okay, before I got any further, do not kill him." Sub said as he pointed to Blusix. "I profusely thank you for insuring my safety." He told Sub as he held his hands behind his back. "While you guys took on the brothers, I was trying to sneak around the outside of Veilstone City, to try and come up on the brothers from behind and ambush them, but that's when I stumbled onto Blusix here. Sure, at first we fought it out a bit, as my initial reaction was to attack, but then Blusix here...why don't you tell them?" He said to the brother.
"As you wish..." He said with a nod. "While I still hold allegiance to my brothers, I can no longer stand alongside them. The men you fought our no longer the siblings I once knew, they have changed. As I'm sure you all are aware, the meteorite fragments from the Zhelat Comet changes people. My brothers had gotten very close to the members of the Stone Society, and I believe just being in their presence for so long has changed them. They have become far more chaotic, destructive, and no longer act like their former selves, I honestly believe they are unaware of what they are doing. Perhaps I haven't changed due to my own nature, I prefer to keep to myself in the first place." He explained.
"So yeah, Blusix here has agreed to assist us in stopping the Stone Society, and the Hexagon Brothers, if to only help his own brothers, right?" He asked Blusix. "That is correct, take no offense but I care not for your own desires, only the safety of my siblings." The Hexagon Brother admitted.

The totally harmless Jude wandered away from Blizz for the moment because to him, being told not to kill a person was like being told to take another breath. That he didn't know the Hexagon Brothers from Adam didn't help matters. This black haired guy seemed a likely candidate to be this group's leader, but this blue guy looked like a transplant from a children's show. He had the feeling someone like that would wear on the nerves of at least Blizzard. But he found their discourse very timely -- at least he had some names to go with whomever they were trying to stop.
Zhelat Comet...he wasn't entirely sure it was a name he'd heard before, and none of the stones he'd collected seemed so chaotic that they might fit the description. It was for the better, he thought. "You poor guy," he murmured.

"I don't buy it," Chaos glared. "His sob story ~/~ reeks of 'trap'."
"I have to admit, something doesn't seem right," I sighed, not liking the fact that Chaos and I agreed on something. "But it's also the only lead we've got."
"Mr. Blusix seems so sincere... of course we'll help you, and your brothers." Keiko said.
"What happened to the 'horrible men' schtick?" Chaos sneered.
"I-I was wrong. I didn't think about what they were going through..."
"Who gives a ~/~ what they're going through, let's just kick their ~/~ and move on,"
"It's never that simple," I added. "Besides, I'm sure there's plenty of people who feel that way about you."
"I'm sure there are," Chaos laughed. "I don't see them starting ~/~, though."

Odd and Lykas arrived about the same sime as the others, with Odd walking on a crutch for his bad leg. "Turns out that bite was stronger than expected." He told Lykas as they appeared. "Guess he got me pretty good with it, or something. Doc said my leg's broken." He admitted with a sigh, hobbling across the room the sit on the couch.
Lykas, hearing the exchange between the others, had to pitch in his two cents. "I don't really care one way or the other but if Greesix doesn't tell me how to fix what he did to Sphynx, I'll kill him." He told Blusix, a sinister sneer on his face. According to the Nurse Joy in Veilstone, she had no idea what kind of poison was in the Luxray's system. She couldn't cure it without at least a sample of the venom that was injected into her. He didn't say it, but he wanted that Serperior more, now than ever. If for no other reason than to force it to cough up that poison so he could cure his oldest friend.

"Greesix did something to your Pokemon? I was afraid of this..." Blusix said, shaking his head in disgust. "Not long ago, Greesix and Purpsix found some more old documents left behind by Ein, one was for a toxin that can destroy a living creature's chi, eat away at it until there is no more, and eventually, death." The blue man explained. "There is an antidote however, but only Greesix has it. Fortunately this chi destroying toxin is incomplete, as such it takes awhile before any permanent damage can be done, if you find Greesix quick enough, you may be able to save your Pokemon." He told Lykas.
"I know my words are meaningless to all of you, we've been enemies for so long, you are right to be suspicious of me. As a token of good faith I have handed over to your leader all files I had on Team Cipher." Blusix further explained. "He's right, the information he's handed me might just be the breakthrough we need. It seems that Cipher did their homework on the comet, and devised a theory for taking down the virus should it become too much to control." Sub spoke up. "I'm not asking any of you to befriend Blusix, but tolerate him while he is here. After all this is over we can all go back to being enemies." Blusix simply nodded in reply. "I only want my brothers back."

"Fine," Chaos spat. "But if this is some kind of distraction, or ploy to get us out of the way, I'll kill you myself."
With that, Chaos stormed out of the main lobby. There were preparations to be made.
"Well, it seems we have a common enemy. I can't help feeling a little like Chaos in this situation, but I'll work with you. For now." I said, feeling unsure.
"You have my support," Keiko smiled.

"I only want my brothers back." After being transported back, Ceramew quietly took off elsewhere. "You've no worries from me. I don't have a reason to kill him, but I may use my feathers to assault his nose and feet." Sol joked. "But I've seen the effects a handful of times. I'm afraid I can't consider you as a friend, but for the time, I'll have no qualms with you as an ally. But if I may ask, is it too farfetched to wonder of the comet's influence on a Pokemon?"

Lykas was glad to hear there was an antidote to whatever toxin Greesix had infected Sphynx with but that wasn't all he needed. "I'll trust you for now under one condition." He told the blue-clad man. "Tell me where he likes to waste time. I intend to hunt him down and get that antidote and, for his sake, you'd best pray he hands over the antidote, or his Pokemon, without too much of a fight." He growled, death in his eyes. "If I lose Sphynx to what he did, you'll be the Pentagon Brothers when I'm done with him." "He's serious." Odd verified to Blusix, just in case he doubted how serious Lykas was. "He is clinically a sociopath with psychotic tendencies." He added for good measure. Admittedly, Lykas wasn't likely to cause serious harm as long as Greesix handed over the cure for his poison before Sphynx suffered lasting damage. -The Nekomata Tsukihime- Kairi had pulled out Drao's ball from off of her belt and recalled the Murkrow who she had actually started taking a bit of a liking to. Although she still did have quite a fear of birds, but, Kairi was starting to feel as though she could handle being around them a little better so long as they weren't swooping down at her. The redhead finally looked over at Reno, smiling slightly. "I think at this point I'm always going to be scared of bird Pokemon, but, I also think that I can at least handle them being near me now." And then she turned to Al, a genuine smile spreading across Kairi's face. "Don't worry about it. I do actually appreciate the offer, I just can't accept it, that's all. Oh, and don't worry about helping clean. Though, if you do want to help, you could always just keep an eye on the Bagons for a moment while we clean," Kairi suggested. "Though, I'd understand if you didn't want to." Al smiled up at Kairi. "It's understandable." He told her. "Deep-rooted fears are difficult to overcome, if they ever can be. But the important thing is to not let them control us." He felt certain this girl had the guts to fight anything she feared, if not to be stronger then for fear of looking weak to others. She just gave off that kind of air. At the offer of watching the hatchlings, his grin grew wider. "The chance to babysit a pair of hatchling Dragons? i'd be glad to!" He wasn't kidding. He'd always loved spending time with the hatchlings his uncle raised, even if they were a bit rambunctious sometimes. He knelt to look a bit closer at the hatchlings, offering them both a smile. "Hi." He greeted cheerfully. If they were a bit much, he could always release Tweety, though he'd rather not do so in Kairi's presence, knowing of her fear of bird Pokemon.

This immediate moment seemed like a very awkward time to introduce himself to the Snagems (or reintroduce, in some cases), so Jude went to stand in a corner in an attempt to appear completely innocuous. How successful he might be depended on whether a Furret hybrid who wore a tan and brown striped sweater to match his stripes exactly was a completely innocuous sight.
Not to mention, all this hearsay made Blusix a little less like friend material. Or maybe a lot less like.

A brunette girl looking quite worse for wear appeared. She was wearing a sweater that was obviously meant for keeping someone warm and carrying a box of tissues. Apparently, Krystal had caught quite a bug.
"Hey guys wh-ACHOO!!-ats going *sniff* on?" She asked curiously. Really, she should have just stayed in bed but she was getting tired of being alone in her room, enough so that it was making her feel especially lonely and quite sad. "Someone cosplaying as one of the Hexagon Bros? It's really convincing!" Freya piped up suddenly, seeming to come out of no where.

"Ter," Keiko said, drawing my attention to her, who then drew my attention to a very sick girlfriend.
"What happened to you?" I asked, walking over to Krystal and checking her forehead, which was burning hot.

Krystal couldn't help the onslaught of coughs that racked her body as she contained her sick germs into her sleeve and many tissues. However, it did make her feel a little better that she was around people.
"Oh, it's dust a widdle code. Nothing to -AHCHOO!! - worry about." When yet another fit of coughs came over her, the brunette tried to smile though it was obvious that it wasn't 'just' a cold.

I wasn't having any of it. After apologizing quickly to everyone, I picked Krystal up and carted her upstairs.
Once she was safely in bed, I began brewing a berry stew made only with berries that aided in the removal of toxins from the body, all of this in her room, while keeping a constant eye on her and providing company.

Finding herself picked up and carted back to her room, Krystal didn't even have the energy to protest. Instead, she shivered and coughed and sneezed in her bed.
"Thanks for staying with me." She said, sniffling and blowing her nose in between. Gods she felt awful. But ... at least she wasn't alone. Watching Terashi, the girl smiled despite being sicker than she ever had been before. Maybe it was the fever that was burning her up but she felt better in some odd way. Probably because he was here with her, the guy she'd fallen hard in love with.

Reno gave a silent nod as he moved to the room, cleaning up a few of the items strewn around. Turning to Al, he told the man, "I'd recommend keeping the male in check. 'E'll keep the female from bein' too rambunctious."
The Bagon gave a nod to his trainer before facing the waving man. Cocking his head to the side, he wondered what this motion meant. Deciding trial by fire was the best, he gave the gesture back, wondering what may happen.
