Rise of the Shadows!

[Azunara]

Solara nodded, and gave a slight grin, "Glad to see you're back safe."

[Kamalia]

A female Dusk paused at the sounds of crying. Curious, she peered around the stump where it was coming from. A Dusk Toxicroak sat bawling beside a massive hole.
"...Is there something wrong?"
"Th-the l-l-o-ove of-of my l-life just LEFT ME FOR SOME CHARZARD!" Reese wailed, burying his face into his hands.
"I dearly hope you're not talking about that Steelix."
"BBBAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW"
"It used Attract, you ninny. It'll wear off soon and you'll feel like an idiot for blubbering like this."
"I don't care what you say! I LOVED HER! Him? It? YOU TELL ME LIIIIEEEESSSS..." He descended into crying and hiccuping. The female Dusk stared at him, shook her head, and walked away.

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave called out to his troop.

Ironskull loyally ran to his side.

Venus and Medusa reluctantly ran to him too.

"Let's go check on Master!"

Then ran up to Scarab, "Are you ok Master?"

[Saturo]

Darkrai shrugged at everyone's worries.
"I'm FINE. Don't worry!", he said, and looked at Speck. "You look a little pale, Speck. Anything bothering you?"

"You like kidnapping people, right?"
"Yeah..."
"Why don't you kidnap the fat one!?"
"Who, Speck?"
"Nah, the fat one, over there."
"Chomp?"
"Yeah!"

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost grinned, "Oh, like I'd let some dumb Dusk kill me! Of course I'm back safe!" She laughed.

[rubybeam]

When the wave died down the marshtop layed on the ground breathing hard it got back up seeing how soundwave wasn't after him anymore, he picked up his fainted partner he ran off looking for a place to rest

[Kira]

Mewtwo rolled his eyes a bit. He wasn't worried about Darkrai falling to the voices..he was worried about him getting along with them.
Daray sighed and closed his eyes. How long until Everyone was infected? Jeeze.

[Magnakilro]

Chomp stood at the dge of a cliff, staring into the sky, deep in thought.

The two unown babies were scared and hiding behind thier "parents"

[Azunara]

Speck gave a brave nod. "Yeah. I'll be fine. I think."

Solara grinned even wider. "I figured. But you never know. Sometimes, people get unlucky. For example, I nearly got ripped apart by a Spiritomb. Destiny Bond is a mean, mean thing. Let me tell you that now."

[Magnakilro]

Lilith groan, "Demonica.....she's scarier then ROSEN!.."

[Saturo]

"Hmm... I kinda' like that idea, but..."
"But?"
"I won't listen to you guys, I just recently met you!"
"What if we give you some cookies?"
"Nah. I kinda' like Chomp."

[Kamalia]

Olivia and Molly exchanged looks.
"Maybe we should get on the vaccine. Like, right now?" Olivia gave Darkrai a wary look.

"Think of the nacho cheese joke, Speck! Also, wanna berry?" Julius held up a Pecha, stuffing one into his own mouth.

[rubybeam]

The marshtop ran, pachirisu stapped to it's back it running on all fours, he smelt berries...kelpsy! his favorite ooohhhh and there smelt like there was alot of them gathered in one place he would have just one..just one of them



Nightmare looked at K assuringly "Don't worry everything will be just fine" he purred

[Lupis]

Scarab shook his head. Bah. There was probably a bite mark on the back of his shell. He'd have to cover that with something, no use letting any future Dusk know that something had managed to wound him. He contemplated getting a cloak or a cape, then looked up as Soundwave and the crew approached.
"It isss nothing. Where iss Hhands, what isss the sstate of the battlefield? What of the Unown?"

Summer looked around the camp. She felt intensely guilty for Darkrai's infection, even if it wasn't her fault. Shaking out her fur, she wandered towards the river and sat on the bank, absently splashing the water with a paw and freezing the drops.

[Kira]

Mewtwo glanced at the little ? Unown and sighed. "I'm not going to let him attack you." He muttered, hoping that it wasn't loud enough for anyone to hear but the little thing.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Rikki trotted up to Chomp, "What's up?"

----

"A Spiritomb? Ugh, those things suck." Ghost replied, still grinning, "And when I get my paws on that Spiritomb.. It won't even get the chance to use Destiny Bond!

[Azunara]

Speck brightened slightly at Julius' advice, and the voices snarled at her. "They hate you. Kill them all." She snapped back to them, "Shut up! They'd protect me with their lives, and I'd protect them with mine! They're family!" They quietly hissed, and Speck stuck out her tongue at them. They couldn't see it, but it made her satisfied. She took the berry, nodding thankfully.

---

Solara grinned. "Great, cause grass only does so much."

[Magnakilro]

Chomp sighed, "So many of us are getting infected....Me...you...ghost...darkrai...Speck...everyone....I'm just thinking....are we really able to stop this?"

-------

Soundwave explained, "The fake steelix escaped, bringing the Broodmother charizard with it. The Unowns seem to have left. Elredar was kidnapped. Thats about it.."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost gave Solara a quick nuzzle, then looked around, "Eh? Where'd Summer get off to?" She stood up, "Come on, let's go look for her!!"

----

Rikki let out a long sigh, "Well.. Dialga was right, we may be infected, but we're not about to let the voices control us! So, I don't think that we have to worry about that too much...." She fell silent for a few moments before continuing, "Though the fact that we're outnumbered is a totally different story...."

[Kamalia]

Julius looked at her curiously. "What are they saying, Speck?"
