It takes but a couple moments for Drake to feel it. This... Pull- Like that arm and it's extended claws are pulling at his very essence, the very fabric of his being. It's not a painful experience, but definitely not a pleasurable one either. It simply feels... Wrong. For a brief moment, some of this feeling culminates as he feels something happening near his chest, powerless to hide against it. And he- And everyone else nearby- See an unown extracted from his body... And flung right into the GRAND OVERSEER's greedy claw.
Drake lost 1 misc exp.
And the intensity of whatever spell he's been put under is only increasing- Like the GRAND OVERSEER is not content with just a little bit... He's going to be taking more before he's done.
But not if his friends have a say in the matter- Irene does what she can, pulling up a mist in the hopes it might disorient the GRAND OVERSEER as it mixes with his own "dark mist"- Admittedly, it does not seem to do much, but the actions of others are more direct... Koa jumping in front of Drake as he tries to protect both, rooting himself steeply in the ground. The claw seems to pause for a moment... Koa, of all people, should know how futile it was to try and stop him like this, and yet here the foolhardy hero stood... For a moment it waited seeming to deliberate going around, or through him... Finally opting for the former, as when he cannot move the boy himself, he'll move the very earth below him- Taking a chunk out of the earth as Koa is flung to the side regardless of how rooted he might have been, before it's sights turn back to Drake...
And before it can do anything else now it is Nate to intercept, teleporting Drake off before the GRAND OVERSEER can focus again. Again it shifts to face his new position, seeming increasingly agitated at the trainers persistence...
And then Isabella jumps in front, too.
"So it's just him you want? You'll have to go through all of us, first!"
There's a pause. For a moment, it's looking like he just might...
But eventually, it seems like it no longer finds it worth it. Be it that you lost his interest, that you are not worth the effort, or maybe it still just has a mess to fix... The claw retreats- The aura of oppression fades, and the portal he came through closes, putting an end to the madness.
The trainers won the battle!

Guys! D:
Are you all alright?! D:
...
Oh, it seems like you are... Mostly... :)
Geeze, Koa, what'd you do to piss him off..? :/
"Okay so it's one of the keys on the recorder and the computer. I will look at the computer to see what I can find." Haley states, Alex assisting for a while... Just smashing all the buttons on the keyboard with no direction doesn't seem to do anything, though- At least, nothing that they can notice... It occurs to them that it could probably be REALLY hard to actually figure out what it might be, since for all they know it's not a single key, but a whole keyphrase behind the computer. They briefly consider just asking the spark to tell them as this is starting to sound like an "let's see how far you can get without getting stuck" situation, before Haley notices that the scientist guy seemed to have quite a collection of games... And one application with a name so silly she's pretty sure it's not a real one- Activating it as it opens up to a black screen, stating simply: "Connection active".
That's probably it! Now they just have to figure out the recorder...
