Rise of the Shadows!

[Azunara]

Speck blinked, wait, what? Oh, right. Nightmare.

Speck used Nightmare!

---

Solara's Nightmare was located in a field, akin to the one where they had first seen Deoxys two years ago. The set-up was similar, and those who had participated in the battle were there, with a noticeable difference. They were all black, walking shadows. At least Dusk had eyes, mouths, features. These things lacked any of that. That, and they were attacked the dream Solara, who was weakly fighting back.

Speck blinked. She hadn't seen the first battle, and didn't quite understand what was going on.

[Kira]

Delora snapped her head around and let out a shriek before she launched herself at Delrokx.
Delora used Bite!
"Delora, what the hell are you doing?!" Ikis glared at the Absol, who looked confused.
"I..I don't know but..but I can't let them get hurt!"

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Edit - Okay, Solara's and Summer's overprotection for one another is kind of sweet.))

((Hah, it's nothing compared to how Ghost was REALLY overprotective of Solara in the first story! XD))

Ghost huffed, this was getting VERY annoying... Time to join the patrol! She darted over to where Summer and Solara were, roaring as she went.

[Magnakilro]

Sparky fired a Shockwave at Jingle, "She will pay for her lies..."

[Saturo]

Darkrai spoke, apparently disembodied.
"So, this is it, huh? Let's... Change a few rules!"
The field seemed to morph, as spikes appeared out of the ground, impaling some of the shadows.

[Lupis]

Encouraged, Delrokx attacked again, a shadow falling over her, then moving swiftly towards Deoxys. Paying attention to that, she didn't notice Delora lunge at her.

Delrokx uses Night Shade!

((She's not too high level... So not that much damage.))

Summer lunged again at Dialga, noting Solara's condition.
"RETURN MY SISTER!!" she screeched at the top of her lungs, shooting shards of ice at the Time Lord.

Summer uses Ice Shard!

(( Edit- Yeah, not as strong as Ghost's. xD ))

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Yes, I totally forgot about Rikki and Jingle.. >.<))

"EEP!" Jingle squeaked as she was hit by the Shockwave.

Rikki leapt at Sparky, "DAMMIT SPARKY! WAKE UP!"

Rikki used Crush Claw!

[Magnakilro]

Chomp looked at the Unowns, "Is that it?"

----

Sparky smiled and fired anothe Shockwave at Rikki

[Kira]

"Delora!"
"LEAVE MY MATE ALONE YOU BITCH!" Delora snarled as she sank her teeth into Delrokx's arm. (( Sorry, you said she didn't notice to..I let it hit. Please don't hate me! ))
Ciro squeaked and closed his eyes tight, trembling. He was so scared!

[rubybeam]

"Damnit..." nightmare looked at sparky he really didn't want to assasainte him

[Azunara]

((Speck's pretty protective over folks as well. Sol's just keeping an eye out for Summer because, well, Summer kind of brought her over moreso into the Dusk. But yeah, Ghost would nearly kill herself for Sol, and Sol would always heal Ghost in the end. And if Sol gets cured, I've got a catch I'll likely throw on Speck, so it's not that easy. ))

Dialga growled, lashing out, his Safeguard protecting him.

Dialga used Steel Claw!

---

The not-Dusk-Dream Sol seemed very...scared. It watched as spikes impaled shadows, and Speck summoned her own specters to help take care of the shadows.

Speck used Night Shade!

[Saturo]

"Let me check...",one of the Unown said and charged a powerful blast trough the crystal. It started to glow, and space distorted slightly around it.
"It is!", the Unown said, and lift it up telepathically.

***

The whole dream seemed to grow darker as Darkrai appeared, and simply SMASHED shadows into the ground with a fist.
"Glad to see the real you, Sol!", he said cheerfully.

[Lupis]

((S'okay! I said she didn't notice so you could hit her. ^.^))

Delrokx yelped, slashing at Delora's eyes with her other arm.

Delrokx uses Night Slash!

Summer blocked the slash with a barrier, preparing to summon more snow and ice to pummel the Legendary.

Summer uses Barrier!

[Senna-Umbreon]

Rikki ignored the Shockwave, growling. She slashed at Sparky again.

Rikki used Slash!

--

Ghost darted over to Summer, grinning, "Am I too late to join in the fun?"

[Lupis]

Summer didn't take the time to look over at Ghost, but she yowled, "Not at all! Help us, sister!"

((Switching computers, might take a few minutes.))

[Kira]

Delora snarled as she tossed the Sableye away, taking a position infront of Deoxys and Ciro, her right eye closed as the skin just above it bled.
"M-mommy?"
"I...don't understand what I feel but...I wouln't let you harm these two."
"You're being a fool Delora."

[Azunara]

Dream-Sol flinched, recoiling. "You...you aren't more of...That, are you?" She asked hesitantly.

---

Speck's shadows were quickly overtaken, and she snarled, wrestling off a few of the shadow creature and blasting them, but not before earning herself a few nice gashes.

---

Dialga looked at Speck and Darkrai, worried. He wasn't sure how protected they'd be. He knew Darkrai would likely be fine, but Speck will in a Nightmare? He wasn't sure if she was protected, physically or mentally. Hopefully Darkrai would keep her safe. He looked at Summer, his focus on keeping his Safeguard alive.

[Saturo]

((O shi! Dialga is all alone against the Dusk now! Run away, Dialga! Run away! D:))

"Of course not, Sol. We'll help you with thes- OH DAMN!", Darkrai started as he saw Speck get attacked.
A wall seemed to appear out of nowhere, and it crumbled down over the shadows attacking Speck, smushing them.

[Senna-Umbreon]

"Glad to!" Ghost barked back, glaring at Dialga, then started barking loudly at the Legendary.

Ghost Girl used Bark Out!

((Another new move in the new games! XD))

[Azunara]

((Dialga! D: *hugs her legendary.*))

Solara seemed confused, but she watched, head tilted as the pair fought. She seemed a bit stiff, unsure, like someone who had been trapped or hidden away for a long time, unable to escape. A shadow rose to fight her, and she clawed at it, some confidence coming back.

---

Dialga growled, his Safeguard growing a bit stronger as he focused on that. It meant, however, he couldn't fight. But leaving them behind seemed wrong.
