After witnessing the horrors that were @Endsanity and @ofFinalem, Cyrus decided to put his world domination plans to rest. Back in Sinnoh, he retired from being the Leader of Team Galactic and became a farmer tucked away in some hidden land.

Thus ends the story of Cyrus.

@CynicAmbition Superman needed more than just The Justice League for this.

I believe taking down these figures one by one is crucial for success. Gather your forces, and exterminate with extreme prejudice.”

“It is time.”

Step after step within a secluded room, Cyrus stared down at the Pokeball cusped in his hand. His reflection gleamed in the glass window presenting the infernal view of the vast land Apokolips, now controlled by Thanos.

“Truth to be told, I only work for the -

At the western post lies @nikushiminoisan, a Shonobi of great renown who now serves Thanos.

And finally, @BountifulDroid leads the southern post. Formerly, she was an Intergalactic Bounty Hunter. She now -

@CynicAmbition with, "Please tell me what you know."

He wouldn't dare attempt it alone, and honestly, part of this had the makings of a trap, but it was a chance worth taking if they could take down Thanos.

@InASingIeBound - survive. I am willing to supply you with information to take down his fortress in Apokolips. But you can’t do this alone, so I hope you find others who are willing to assist you. So then, would you allow me to place my bets on you?”

@InASingIeBound How interesting… Was this man incredibly naive? Or too confident in his own abilities that he would let his guard to trust someone invading his mind so readily?

No matter, Cyrus needed to earn this man’s aid.

“My name is Cyrus. I currently work under Thanos, only so I can -

- @InASingIeBound.

“I need your help.”

Thus, echoed a voice within one’s mind.

- Earth’s mightiest hero!”

At its master’s behest, the fear-mongering Pokemon entered a meditative stance. Cyrus closed his eyes, allowing his mind to surf through the psychokinetic waves that traveled across the cosmos. From Apokolips straight to Earth. From Cyrus…to -

It was time to set the plan in motion...

What does the Devil like to eat?

It wasn’t the flesh of the damned, nor the crunching bones of sinners. In this case, it would be a bowl of colorful Poffins, presented to him by the (former) leader of Team Galactic.

“Do you like it here?”

Hands behind his back, Cyrus -

[𝐂𝐘𝐑𝐔𝐒 @CynicAmbition]

@_guardianwyrm "I see. It appears that even a God can be indecisive."

Perhaps Cyrus has already said too much. If Giratina suspected the former Galactic to backstab Thanos, then that assumption was in fact true. But for now, his actions have yet to be revealed.

Cyrus simply walked out of -

[「ギラティナ」 @_guardianwyrm]

@CynicAmbition — basilisk was truly on his side, were the only two options it could consider right now.

Nonetheless, it swiveled lithe body to face him once more, head leaning down, uncomfortably close as those red orbs glared regardless of his reasoning. Unanswered properly.

[𝐂𝐘𝐑𝐔𝐒 @CynicAmbition]

@_guardianwyrm "Now, my final question."

Head lowered, gaze shut, he cleared his throat.

Silence...

Head raised, gaze unleashed, he uttered decisive words.

"If you could ascertain freedom, would you?"

#BlackestNight

[「ギラティナ」 @_guardianwyrm]

@CynicAmbition — it at Cyrus, quiet, unmoving save for gentle sways of tail and tendrils.

Perhaps... that was the only way to convey it was uncertain on the new inquiry. It had a lot to ponder on, after all, considering its position.

#BLACKESTNIGHT

[𝐂𝐘𝐑𝐔𝐒 @CynicAmbition]

@_guardianwyrm It seemed…content. Or at least that was what Cyrus was able to understand.

“Allow me to rephrase my question.”

Brief pause.

“If you could change the state of things as they currently stand, would you?”
