Rise of the Shadows!

[Kira]

Kyuu looked up as she heard Lilith, charging toward her voice and tackling the poor Houndoom. "I'msorryIwasstupidandstayedbehind!"

[Magnakilro]

Lilith, taken by surprise, nuzzled Kyuu, "Its ok...as long as your not hurt....everything is fine.."

[Kira]

"I'm not hurt." Kyuu muttered as she pulled back, sniffling a bit. "I'm sorry. I act like such a Kid sometimes!" She rubbed at her eyes.

[Magnakilro]

Lilith smiled, "Its ok...I like kids! Why don't we head back to the group huh?"

[Lupis]

Scarab tilted his head. Couldn't get infected? How was that? If she was telling the truth, then things might get complicated. She had been acting very Dusk during the fight... Perhaps rage or fear made her go Dusk? If that was so... Well. That wouldn't be hard at all. But that was for another time... He slipped into a patch of shadow and glanced around for Hands. Where had that owl gone? Ah, there she was... And she was awake. The Noctowl looked up at Scarab and flapped over to land on his shoulder. Smirking, he slipped into a dark patch of forest and climbed up to stand on a branch.

"Dussssk! Come to me!" he called.

[Azunara]

Solara grinned. "You're an idiot, you know?" She said, smiling at the umbreon. She stretched, and flicked her tail. "Right. We should head back. I'm starting to feel a bit nervous." Eleredar flapped down a few seconds after, a struggling Dusk spearow in his jaws. He spat the bird out, pinning it. "We had a spy. They seem interested in you, me, and Ghost." He growled.

[Magnakilro]

Jaws looked at Olivia and walked over to her, "Hey....you ok?"

[Kira]

Kyuu nodded as she sniffed one last time. "Good, cause that's pretty much what I am." She let out a little giggle. "Let's go back...no one got hurt, right?!"

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost laughed, "Yeah, I'm an idiot, I know!" She grinned, then rolled her eyes, "Of course. A spy. How predictable. CAN'T EVEN THE DUSK TRY TO BE SLIGHTLY CREATIVE?! Jeez!"

[Magnakilro]

"We were scared that Chomp might've....but it turned out to be blood from a Dusk....other then that, I'm not sure"

[Lupis]

The spearow screeched and kicked, glaring holes in its captor. It refused to speak, though it did give Ghost a dirty look at the "creative" comment.

[Kira]

"Oh good! I was worried someone might have gotten hit. That was a mess back there." Kyuu shivered. "Let's get back soon..being out here is creeping me out."

[Azunara]

Solara looked at it. "Do...do we interrogate it? I'd rather not. I'm scared I'd lose control. But Ghost, if it scratched you..."

Eleredar, already Dusk, was unaffected by the scratching. He dug his claws into the bird. He had better self-control than Solara, so he snarled, "Who's your leader?"

[Magnakilro]

Lilith returned to the group with Kyuu, "Everyone ok?"

Chonp shook his head and pointed at the Treecko.

[Senna-Umbreon]

"I say we interrogate it." Ghost said, glaring at the little Spearow.

[Kira]

Kyuu let out a little squeak as she looked at him. "Oh no..." She felt her ears sink slightly. "We have to do something."
"I suggested a cage, but they don't like that."
"Maybe keep him asleep until we can figure out what to do.."
Daray blinked. "That's..not too bad of an idea.."

[rubybeam]

Kanmimpi refused to answer lilith's question she looked away ignoring the bloody state she was in

[Magnakilro]

Jaws kept trying to talk to Olivia, "Sorry about my temper....Lil's been tryin to help me control it but..."

[Lupis]

"But Ghost, if it scratched you..."

The bird brightened up for a moment, then writhed about when Eleredar clawed it. More then writhing in pain, though - it was trying to escape, its eyes pinned on Ghost.
"It! It was a lizard! Charizz-something!"
A thought seemed to occur to it, and claws that it didn't have lashed out at Ghost.

Spearow uses Mirror Move!

[Azunara]

Speck shook her head. "They got Darkrai too, remember? Do we really want to subject the poor thing to his nightmares?"

Solara knocked Ghost out of the way, taking the scratches.

Solara used Protect!

---

The Dusk slowly converged to answer Scarab's call.

---

Dialga returned, Darkrai and the Unknown with him. "Back...Oh, boy. I'm really tired." The legendary muttered.
