Flyer art collab by me & Filipa, rainbow poster edition printed by Cathy!
In a penthouse suite somewhere in Northbridge, Quinn and Tyler pack their bags for a trip to La Huerta. As they finish and head to the door, someone knocks. Tyler opens the door to see his twin sister, Taylor.
Taylor:Â Hey, are you guys ready?
Tyler:Â Yep. All set.
Quinn:Â Oooh. Iâm so excited for this.
Quinn could not contain herself as she squeals and lightly jumps for joy. Taylor leads the two outside the penthouse.
Taylor:Â Come on. Jake is waiting for us on the roof with a helicopter.
Tyler:Â You sure? Because I remember that--
Before Tyler could finish, Taylor turns to him, her blue eyes filled with threatening flames. She know what he is about to say and he knows that if he says it, death will come for him. He quickly covers his mouth and stops talking. Taylor calms down and turns to face Quinn with a smile.
Tyler smiles shyly as he rubs a hand behind his head and blushes at Quinnâs angelic smile.
The three reach the roof and they spot a familiar face.
Jake:Â Just in time. I finally got her ready for our trip.
Taylor:Â Great work, Top Gun.
Jake:Â Are you ever gonna stop calling me that, Princess?
Taylor rushes towards Jake and wraps her arms around him. They both lean in for a kiss. It lasted for a few seconds, until...
Tyler:Â Ahem!...
The two pull away and look at Tyler.
Tyler:Â The overwhelming time pressure, guys? Weâre gonna be late.
Jake and Taylor compose themselves while Quinn giggles.
Taylor:Â Umm... sorry.
Jake:Â Uhh... right. Just... uhh... get in the helicopter.
After the four are seated in the helicopter, Jake takes it off the ground and flies it towards La Huerta. After a few hours, they are only a few miles away from the island.Â
Jake:Â Eyes up, guys. Weâre almost there.
Hearing Jakeâs words, Taylor, Tyler and Quinn slowly open their eyes. They look through the front window of the helicopter and can see La Huerta.
Taylor: Itâs just as beautiful as ever.
Tyler:Â Another year...
Quinn: ...Another endless summer.
(For this next part, Iâd like you to read it while listening to this.)
Suddenly, alarms start beeping within the helicopters control panel.
Tyler:Â Whatâs going on?
Jake:Â I... I donât know how but...
Jake turns to his friends with fear overwhelming him.
Jake:Â I think we got a storm heading for us.
Taylor quickly puts on her communication gear and grabs hold of the wheel from her seat.
Taylor:Â Time to put what Iâve learn for the past year to the test!
Tyler puts one hand on Taylorâs shoulder and another on Jakeâs, and he looks at them with trust.
Tyler:Â You guys got this.
The Power Couple nods at Tyler as they prepare to maneuver through the storm. Quinn then grabs hold of Tyler as he wraps one arm around her and hangs on a handle. Eventually, the storm hits them.
During the starting phase of the storm, Jake and Taylor are able to keep the helicopter steady and lessen the the vibrations felt within it. However, as the storm starts to become more dangerous, lightning starts to come out of the sky.
Jake:Â Tch! Hang on!
Tyler and Quinn both hang on tight on each other and on the handles in the helicopter, as Jake and Taylor evades multiple lightnings. One lightning, however, was able to strike one of the side doors open. Soon afterwards, a strong wind hits the helicopter from the other side. As the helicopter tilts to the side, Quinn loses balance and her grip. She slides towards the open helicopter door and eventually falls out.Â
Quinn: Tyler!
Tyler:Â Quinn, no!
Tyler goes after her and jumps out of the helicopter.
Tyler takes something out of his pocket and holds it out. On the palm of is hand is a particular marble-shaped stone. He clenches his fist and the stone starts to glow. With the stone glowing, Tyler lets out a chant.
Tyler:Â Let the sapphire flames of Vaanu consume you and unleash your true dragon form... Charizard, MEGA EVOLVE!!
Charizard starts to react to the glowing stone as he starts to glow as well, undergoing Mega Evolution.
After the process, Tyler and his Mega Charizard X try again.
Tyler:Â Use Flame Charge!
Charizard starts to coat himself and Tyler with blue flames. Afterwards, he rushes downwards, towards Quinn, now that his speed increased by Flame Charge. As they get close, Tyler slowly stands on Charizardâs back.
Tyler:Â Get ready to catch us once I get her.
Charizard:Â Rawr!
Tyler jumps off of Charizard and catches Quinn in his arms. She looks at his eyes and smiles before passing out. Tyler embraces Quinn and calls out for Charizard.
Tyler:Â Alright, buddy! Get us outta here!
Before Charizard could go after them, he is immediately struck by lightning. Charizard loses control and he is blown upwards by the strong wind, taking him away from Tyler and Quinn.
Tyler:Â Charizard, no!!
Tyler looks down to see the ocean almost close to them. He looks over at Quinn and starts to remember all of the memories theyâve shared together. He closes his eyes as they start to fill with tears and kisses Quinn on the forehead. Suddenly, a thought comes up to him. He also remembers the time where Quinn is able to use Vaanuâs powers.
Tyler:Â Iâm sorry, Quinn. But I have no other choice. If it means saving us both, I have to do it. Please forgive me.
Tyler taps two of his fingers on Quinnâs forehead and starts to awaken the powers of Vaanu within her. Seconds pass and Tyler begins to lose consciousness.
Tyler:Â Please, Quinn.... save us....
Before Tylerâs eyes could close, Quinnâs eyes flutter open. However, she now has shining green eyes instead of ocean-blue ones. A green aura surrounds her as she starts chanting.
Quinn:Â Masters of the sea and Bringers of the storm, ascend from the abyss... Gyarados, MEGA EVOLVE!!
Tyler:Â Wha...
Tyler looks down to see two pairs of gleaming eyes. He squints to get a better view. He trembles as he sees a pair of Gyarados, one blue and the other red. They start to glow under Quinnâs chant and undergo Mega Evolution.
After the process, the Red Gyarados uses Hurricane to slow down Tyler and Quinnâs descent, while the Blue Gyarados uses Aqua Tail to catch them. A tendril of water comes out of the ocean and gently catches the Tyler and Quinn. Tyler eventually loses consciousness. The last thing he saw before passing out was Quinn leaning close to him.
After a moment of silence, Tyler awakens. He sits up with Quinn kneeling right next to him.
Tyler:Â Quinn?...
Quinn doesnât say anything. She just cups Tylerâs cheeks and kisses him deeply, passionately. Tyler flinches but quickly returns the kiss. He closes his eyes as tears of joy start to fall from them. The moment seem to have lasted forever until they pull away.
Tyler:Â Quinn, I... Iâm sorry....
Quinn:Â What are you apologizing for? You saved me. You saved us.
Tyler looks down, refusing to look at Quinn because of what he has done.
Tyler:Â But I brought out something that should not have been awoken from you.
Quinn:Â I have to admit that it was scary the first time over.... but Iâm no longer afraid.
She tilts Tylerâs chin up so theyâre sparkling eyes meet each other.
Quinn:Â I can control it, Tyler. I can do it. I can... do everything... all because of you.
Tylerâs eyes well up in tears as he pulls Quinn into a loving embrace. She quickly returns it with reassurance. A few seconds later, Tyler tilts his head up to see the Blue Gyarados that saved them earlier. Tyler and Quinn stand up and approach him.
Tyler:Â Thank you.
Gyarados:Â Grr....
Quinn:Â What else to do you want from us?
Gyarados leans downward and nuzzles his forehead on Quinnâs cheek.
Quinn:Â Haha... hey!
Tyler:Â I think he likes you. I think he wants to be your companion.
Tyler points to the ocean. Quinn joins him at the cliffside as they witness the sunrise. As if on queue, the flower field around the two comes to life. Roselias and Roserades dance around the field using Petal Dance. Tyler and Quinn marvel at the beautiful scenery. Suddenly, a voice calls out to them.
Voice:Â Hey! There you are!!
They turn to the source of the voice and they see Jake and Taylor, with Charizard right behind. Taylor rushes ahead and embraces Quinn tightly. Meanwhile, Jake tackles Tyler to the ground and gives him a hug. Afterwards, Charizard joins the bro hug, jumping over Tyler and Jake.
@blightarts this is my actual submission for Quinn Appreciation Week . The other one is for trolling. One thing I find funny is how she looks more like Starfire than Quinn at this point shshsn.
When your boyfriend is a ball of anger but also half your size. (Shoutout to the real mvps @queenaryn and @blightarts for hosting Quinn appreciation week â€)
