[Video]
[It's early afternoon. The journal flies open and turns on abruptly in mid-air, a blast of resonating energy having blown it away from where it had been placed. As it flies, a few flashes of red, white, and black are visible, and when it lands, Asch and Luke are in the distance, swords clashing, the rec center just beyond where they're fighting.

And then that shout came. And then the explosion, first (briefly) from the journal and then outside, making her flinch and drop it and scramble to look outside all in the same movement.
... oh, god. She's not been outside in a week, but she doesn't even stop to think. After scrambling to pick up her journal and open a darkness corridor, she appears at the nearest landmark she could see -- the rec center -- just moments later, leaving her not far from the crater. In something of a daze she wanders over, discovering Asch's devastated journal as she does so. ]
What ...
[ She scoops it up, the first seed of true dread blossoming in her stomach. Clutching it to her chest, she opens her own journal and begins to scan it for ANY sign. Anything... ]
What did they ... [ with growing panic ] Where did you go? Luke! Asch!

The light breeze that kicks up around him skitters over the edge of the blasted-out area and along the ground, as though searching, but Mewtwo doesn't focus on it - he gets the feeling that it's pointless.]

oh god
what was
... oh
it's Mewtwo
hi Mewtwo thanks for the heart attack that was totally awesome and exactly what i needed while i ponder the possibility of my boyfriend having blown himself to smithereens
After, uh, screaming like that -- at least she kept it short! -- Xion just stares at Mewtwo, white in the face and clearly not sure how to react. She's still clutching Asch's journal and her own, as if hoping some sort of answer will come, as impossible as that is... ]

There might have been some quiet noises from Asch's journal before Xion screamed - waves, light muttering, but after? There's a distinct splash, a curse, some coughing, then a slosh of water before:]
Xion? Xio- [Oh god yelling is not fun at all like this COUGH COUGH.]

Stop coughing in my ear!
[Rrrrgh. Why couldn't the hyperresonance taken out his journal or something?]

Mewtwo looks up sharply, the breeze stops entirely, and he goes padding across the crater to verify that that thing that Xion is holding is what he thinks it probably is.
words!]

Luke?! ... Asch, is that you too? You're okay?! Thank goodness...
[ She looks up at Mewtwo again, and nods, waving him over, before speaking to the boys again ]
What happened?! What did you do?
Reply
[That was to Asch. Now to Xion, to try and calm her down.]
We just - screwed up, that's all... [He's not sure if he should tell her that a hyperresonance caused it - she might already look on it badly, knowing the destructive power it has.] But we're okay. [C-Cough owww.]

Hhht.
Tell them that whatever they did, it was incredibly foolish.

She's silent, for a moment. Once she does speak up, her voice is very subdued and somewhat inscrutable. ]
... Mewtwo wants me to tell you both that what you did was foolish. But ... I'm glad you're alright. Where are you?
Reply
[Dammit. Oh well... He's pretty sure Xion would figure it out, anyway.]
We didn't mean to do it... [He holds up the journal to let Xion get a clear view of where they are.] We're in the ocean right now.

[Swim, swim, swim-]
Stop moving around so much!

Mewtwo will just sit down now that they have confirmation of the stupid redheads' safety. He might ask for the journal after Xion's done, but for now he'll just listen.]

Frankly ... she agrees completely with Asch. She's very much not happy Luke tried to lie to her, and for right now Asch's blunt honesty is what she needed to hear. But ... that will have to be dealt with later. Despite her roiling emotions right now, her voice remains subdued. ]
Please ... don't worry about it. Just focus on getting back, okay?

He sighs. Okay, it was sort of a lie. But he hates talking about the destructive power of hyperresonance. He'd rather avoid it at all costs unless someone already knows the intricacies of it, like Jade. Still... the reason he told Xion about hyperresonace in the first place was to be honest with her.]
... Yeah. And I'm sorry.
... [His voice turns more subdued.]
That was an incomplete hyperresonance. It happens when two seventh fonists clash together... like me and Asch. I still don't really get it... so I don't like talking about it.
I'm sorry.
