5th Run: Let's go! [Wondrous Bolt Message][locked from Zetta][backdated to soon after Zetta's post]

[selfmadespeedster]

[What an unusual sight! Cloudsdale's speedster hero the Wondrous Bolt has something to say over the scrolls. He doesn't look too happy.]

Ponyville, I know there are a lot of hard hitters here so I'm asking for your help. I want to save Queen Melissa and the Element Bearers Zetta has captured but I can't do it alone. If you think you can help, talk to me about your abilities and let's get started on planning.

Cloudsdale is just about clear of minions for now. If you need my help elsewhere let me know about that too. I can be there, fast.

Would you like to be able to shoot electricity from your hooves?

[selfmadespeedster]

That might be helpful. It would definitely help clear out the minions. How?

[soulofblue]

Probably gauntlets. I'm working on it.

[selfmadespeedster]

Sweet! [Oh wait that was a little too Wally West. He straightens his posture and tries to appear more professional again.]

As long as they're put in the right hands they could be a big help. Just make sure you don't have any minion break-ins to your work area.

[soulofblue]

I have guards.

[They're small robotic animals. But they'd alert him and Burton, the very large organic dog, which is all he really needs.]

[selfmadespeedster]

Good! If you need to contact me, the scroll can find me when addressed to Wondrous Bolt. I would like to see those gauntlets when you are ready to share the results.

"I control lightning and electromagnetism, plus I have superstrength. When are we heading out?"

[selfmadespeedster]

"That's a nice set of powers you have." Actually it reminds him of someone back home. "Do you have any idea how effective your abilities might be on Zetta? I don't expect anyone to actually beat him, but we'll likely need someone to distract him."

[etranger]

"I was there when Zetta fought Queen Chrysalis, and he punched her clear off the planet at one point. I can manage a distraction, but it'll have to be a running one."

[selfmadespeedster]

"Punched her..." His voice fades off and he shakes his head. "We'll try to avoid the need for the distraction. Sneak in quickly, get the captives, then sneak out. That's the number one plan."

[etranger]

"Got it. I'm happy with this plan."

[selfmadespeedster]

"Thank you for volunteering your help. The wizard Lucia is talking with me now about joining. Her powers should be a big help."

There have been a few discussions already on the bulletin board at Otsuki Chaca.

I'm unfamiliar with that. Where is it?

[wizardofharmony]

...I am a wizard of some note, if only a wizard errant. I can call the physical elements to strike and shield and I can work tracking, warding, and banishment rituals.

We are not facing Zetta directly, are we? Just his minions?

[selfmadespeedster]

I want to avoid facing Zetta, yes. If he makes an appearance though we'll have to be ready to keep him occupied long enough to free the captives and get out of there.

[wizardofharmony]

I do not relish the thought. He has power and a willingness to use it improperly.

I suppose we'll be shielded somewhat by the fact that we're acting in Loyalty, but... I don't like it. I confess I really don't like it. But I like the thought of Twilight of Mayfield held captive even less.

[selfmadespeedster]

Zetta is an enemy with powers none of us can control on our own. I hope we will discover a way to match him head to head but that's still a long way coming.

I would definitely like your help saving the captives. If you have any special tricks to help us get in and out now would be a good time to prepare them.

No powers here, but I've got my Pokemon to handle any tight spaces.

Also, some chickens.

You really don't want to get the chickens angry.

[selfmadespeedster]

What kinda pokemon are they? Do any of them have powers that could help us sneak around or break the captives free?

[turnbuckle]

They're all Fighting-types. My Heracross here can manage one buck of a horn drill, aaaaaaand Breloom heals himself if he gets poisoned.
