Robin nodded knowingly as Minato sawed away at Frank's rope, "Yes, we can understand that idea... We faced another of those level five people, a woman named Mugino, and no matter what we did, she seemed absolutely unstoppable except for a couple of scratches by the creatures that Arisato can summon."
"She was one tough customer..." Minato released an audible sigh before releasing Frank and heading over to Illya to free her as well.

As you would be freed from your binds and enter the room beyond, you would find yourselves in... a cabin? Wait, how did you get there? What kind of cabin had a room with marble walls and--
As though on cue, as you would leave the room, a sudden whining noise would be heard, and if you would look behind you, you would find that the room and doorway were completely gone! What the hell happened?
In any case, when you would step into the cabin room, you would find parts of the wall burned down, small traces of fire remaining, even on the unconscious (or dead?) bodies of the soldiers nearby. In the center, a man in a white coat, standing at 5'7, built like a tank, would stand, not looking back at you, but not exactly looking down at you either.
"Hmph. So they were keeping hostages as well. How distasteful," the man murmured, "In a room produced by a strange power no less. I presume that you are unharmed?"

After freeing Illya, he nodded towards the newcomer, "Yes, kind sir. You're actually part of the reason why the guard in our cell was... incapacitated, so thank you."
"Thanks, new guy, and nice jacket."
"The forest underneath Mount Akagi," the man replied, opening the door and leading them outside, "I do not take well when invaders use my home for their own nefarious purposes. Come, my home is nearby," he spoke briefly.
"... Should we trust him?"

In the meantime, the red, interdimensional phone from before, in the hands of Kinuhata and Ryan now that Frank was gone, would ring. As it would be picked up and answered, the same voice from before would be heard speaking. It was automatically on speakerphone, allowing everyone nearby to hear:
"Yo! Don't mind who I am! Just the same mystery guy from before!" The voice said, "And like before, I'll say it again; the Agents among you guys have unfortunately chosen incorrectly, so do what you will with that info!" He said, before clearing his throat, "And Saiai Kinuhata... Heh, ITEM really is a mess, isn't it? Even after it's been disbanded, you guys can't keep your noses outta everywhere. I'll be seeing ya!~"
And with that, the call had ended just as abruptly as it began.

"Someone who could throw the man to his death upon the tree", Mari responded, "regardless of any other abilities he has. As to who I should vote for...", she paused a bit, this was frustrating because it was not so obvious. "I voted for Stubbs last time, and I shall vote for Stubbs again. Though he may not have killed the first ones, I still think he's guilty of something, and he may very well have done this murder."
@Mighty Roman @Gummi Bunnies @Gibbons @CrunchyCHEEZIT @Verite @everyone
Mari then looked towards Deoxys. He was highly suspected the last time, was he less so now? The telekinetic ability, though she was convinced he was not guilty of this killling, was still something to be wary of. Still... to her, though, somehow she felt this strange being, highly suspect, might actually be a source of information.
She looked to Annabeth and Percy. "Who do you think would have killed the old man like this?", she asked them. She was not convinced that Percy would have any logical suspects in mind, in fact she was a little suspicious of him as he had some godlike abilities, could his strength to throw a large man be one of them? But Annabeth, she felt she could trust and rely on.

Barbossa leaned back. His pet monkey chirped merrily. He looked at Stubbs briefly, then back to Mari. To be fair, he had no idea who killed The Black Flag Man. But considering that he had once been undead himself, accursed to live as a dead man amongst the living, he knew all too well how treacherous those with rotting flesh could be.
'Aye....I'll be changin' me vote. The one time that a Pirate ain't supposed to vote for hisself. I now be votin' for Mr Stubbs!'
He raised a hand off of the hilt of his sword briefly, like a schoolboy lazily raising his hand to answer a question in class. He smiled at Mari. He raised his hat, before putting it back on his head again.
'Ye appear to be a lot smarter than ye average schoolmarm.' He glanced at the uniform she was wearing. 'I be Barbossa, Cap'n Barbossa o' the Black Pearl. Cap'n o' the swiftest ship in all the seas, and Pirate Lord o' the Caspian.
What be your name, lass?'
@Mari
Barbossa rolled his eyes. 'A'right Ms. Chase. If ye have a better idea, then speak now o' forever hold yer peace. We let the killer go it could be you next. 'Er me, and I really wouldn't appreciate being dead again. Thank yer very much. Hell itself has already spat me out twice, and I don't plan on a return voyage.
Deoxys would watch as the humans exchange their theories and investigations, pointing fingers at one another and suspecting each other. Deoxys, after regressing the cold feeling in its core, remained apathetic to the whole situation. It had more important things on its mind, mostly focused on its own survival. Even if witnessing the death of some organisms induced...reactions within Deoxys, they were easily ignored. The alien shook its head as it kept repeating the same words within its complex mind. Irrelevant. Objective. Survive. Terminate. Irrelevant. Objective. Survive. Terminate.
A droning process that kept it on track, disturbing as it is.
As long as the investigation swayed away from itself, the pokemon would silently slip away from the conversation. Without a word-- Deoxys would turn around and hover up off the ground, levitating off back to the Church. Perhaps the church required some more investigation, or perhaps Deoxys just had needed something from there. A few humans could easily see the alien suddenly break away.
The most suspicious action ever-- what could it be actually be doing?
