... and the night is won...
When the Unown successfully summon their Legendary ally, the tides of the battle turn in a big way.
With Suicune creating increasingly smaller rings of gleaming ice around the swarm, the Kartana have no choice but to retreat in whatever direction the trainers and their Pokemon push them in. Which, as Suicune's melodic howls and meaningful head-jerks every time it gets close enough to someone to make one would indicate, should be directly back down into the chamber they came-- and are still coming-- from.
Sure enough, the jagged portal is still swirling right where it opened, roaring static and what can kindly be described as ethereal screaming.
Backed by the trainers, their teams, and no small number of Unown (who quite frankly look pretty happy with the results of their plan paying off-- take this, you origami bullies!!), Suicune enters the chamber purposefully, head bent and crystalline horn lowered, backing the interdimensional intruders towards the hole through which they came.
Not having any choice but to retreat, they begin to disappear into the hole with a series of bright flashes, increasing in intensity as more and more of them depart.
A ragged cheer rises from behind-- the loudest being Eusine, who yes, stuck around along with Morty to help deal with the the threat (and just about lost his mind when you-know-who showed up).
But as Suicune nears the portal itself and the last of the Kartana disappear... something happens.
Rather than simply disappear, the hole throbs in the air and suddenly widens, big enough to dwarf the Legendary Beast standing in front it. Something like the breeze that stirred during the 'seance' rushes through the chamber-- albeit about a hundred times stronger-- making Suicune's mane and ribbons stream out behind it as though blown by a gale.
Sparks fly and plasma pulses, and for the briefest instant, visible only if you happened to be looking directly into the portal when it flashed... there's a dark shape beyond. A dark shape that is much, much bigger than the Kartana.
And then an enormous wave of energy comes hurtling outward and everything goes black, the force knocking anyone and anything in the chamber clean off their feet-- and in the case of trainers and their Pokemon, clean out of consciousness.
It's hard to tell just how much time has passed when everyone starts to groan back into life... seconds? Minutes? Hours?
But the portal is gone, as are the Kartana.
In the darkness, it's hard to tell if the chamber itself looks any different... but those who stagger back up the stairs and into the open air aboveground fast enough will spot a shape limping away in the moonlight...
[And this concludes Camp Alpha! Thanks to everyone for participating, and please continue to have fun threading on both logs for as long as you like. Information about prizes and event aftermath will be added to the Info Post later today!]

Chickens.
[A pause.]
The area of land was previously used as a chicken farm, though the owner was notorious for cutting corners and taking various shortcuts that endangered the health and safety of both his employees and the chickens under his care. The farm was shut down after violating no less than thirty-six major health code laws.
[He frowns lightly, scratching his chin.]
The low property value likely appealed to the supposed psychic.

[That checks out as 'incredibly plausible', despite it not sounding like it should be. This is probably not a concussion talking.]
I'm surprised that didn't go badly sooner.

[He seems...rather unconcerned about this as he attempts to get up on his feet, only to immediately tip over again and fall right back into the rubble.]
Ouch.

Careful. That was a very strong burst of interdimensional feedback. You're going to be off-kilter for a while.
[He's feeling it too, it's just that he's felt it so many times it's easy to ignore it. Maybe later when there's fewer people around he's going to have to take a sit and maybe do some breathing.]
