... 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!]

jolene bwees at him softly and settles into his lap. jack smiles a bit, rubbing crybaby's belly. he definitely knows who jo's favorite is. ]
Me either. [ just so they're on the same page. ] Dipper make it through mostly okay?
[ he knows if dipper hadn't they wouldn't be having this conversation right now. ]

[Does he knows this for a fact? Actually no. But Ford is at the point with his family where he knows that out of the four of them he is easily the least-capable. If he's fine then Dipper is definitely fine, because Dipper has consistently been better than him at not getting in trouble.]
He survived alone in an apocalypse event for three days, he can handle some upset origami.
