Rise of the Shadows!

[Azunara]

Dagger took to the air again, screaming and leaping at Dusk in fury. Numerous Dusk fell to his steel talons, but a cyndaquil got lucky, shooting a blaze of fire at the bird. He screamed in pain, recoiling and flapping down besides Eleredar, his metal feathers smoldering. Solara tossed another healed on him, and told Eleredar and Dagger to keep an eye on Julius. She returned back into the conflict, weaving her way, slashing at Dusk, healing the Uninfected when she saw them.

---

Dialga roared in fury, and Dusk around him were suddenly knocked back, time around them skipped and acting weird as the Lord of Time twisted it.

Dialga used Dragon Pulse!

[Lupis]

((I HATE YOU, INTERNET! WHY MUST YOU HATE THE FORUMS!!!???))

Scarab hissed a horrible roar as exhaustion washed over him. Rage alone keeping him on his feet, he slashed at Baaz's face then threw himself at Speck, hoping to stop the humming before it was too late. He lashed out with both scythes.

Scarab uses Night Slash!

[Kira]

Delora growled before she moved to Jack, making the little Ditto pay for what he had done to her, and to anyone else. She probably shouldn't have enjoyed the screams but...she really did.

Mewtwo stopped for a moment, taking a breath. He had knocked enough of them out that he could afford it.

[Magnakilro]

Heracross weakly put his arms around the Linoone. He hugged her tightly, "I'm gonna miss you kid..."

Suddenly the hug seemed weaker. Heracross died, Zincano still in his arms.

Pinsir, with tears in his eyes, spoke up, "Come on kid...let's avenge our brother!"

His natural colors returned

Deoxys moved Jack closer to the knife, "Nah...putting you down is no fun..."

[rubybeam]

"Just..a few last words" zincano closed her eyes putting her head down honoring the sweet warm memeories she shared of the bug, everything on t.v "Heracross if you can hear me..I want you to know I cherished ever moment with you..just like I did for my trainer I still even remeber when me and scyther first meet sandy had recently died and with zack..I was an orphan scyther took me with you guys I was scared at first but you treated me with a warm hospitality and a loving home even after scyther died in the war of deoxys..I always loved oyu like fmaily even though we may not be related in blood or flesh but by our own bonds we carry..I will always remeber you and that trip to isshu I promise to get you a sovenier..promise... I hope you meet sandy and scyther in the world of death if you see zack say hi for me I will never in my life foreget you.." zincano gently placed the bug on the ground letting her warm salty tears wetten her fluffy cheeks "This is a final goodbye until it is my time.."

[Kamalia]

Julius gently sprayed water over the bird's wounds in an effort to help out with Solara's heal.
Julius used a weak Water Gun!
He then paused to rub his nose and give a quiet sniffle, though a wide smile was on his face. The Espeon's words lifted had his spirits immensely.

Olivia paused and panted, her claws on her quivering knees. Her limbs were throbbing painfully from all of the punches and kicks she had dealt out. She winced as she straightened again, then whirled around to kick a Dusk in hard in the stomach as she felt a handful of her feathers getting pulled out. It doubled over and went down. She turned to look at Jaws, a grin on her tired face. "TWENTY SIX!"

Molly continued throwing out healing and attacks whenever she could, though she found herself putting up shields and catching her breath more often than not now. She was exhausted. She paused to put a hand to her face. She scowled at a sting stretching from her temple to her lip and as her hand came back bloody. And the Dusk were still going strong. Her shields flickered against the claws tearing at it and she quickly strengthened it as much as she could as she inhaled deeply and tried to relax and focus.
Molly used Calm Mind!

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ironskull fell down next to Ghost in pain. An Armaldo slashed his ribs, leaving a massive gash.

He looked up at her teary eyed, and scratched a message, Make the Pain Stop Sister....

Ghost growled at the Armaldo, leaping at it.

Ghost Girl used Payback!

As the Armaldo fell, Ghost darted back over to Ironskull, "Oh dammit.. Don't you DARE die.." She huffed, her rings, which were now only barely tinted silver, glowed brightly.

Ghost Girl used Moonlight!

[Magnakilro]

Ironskull, tilted his head and looked at Ghost. He put a hand to his heart. He began to think ....ok....sisters shoudn't make thier brother feel this way...

[Kira]

Daray winced as he felt Heracross leave, his eyes closing for a moment. He'd have to go later, he couldn't just leave everyone now. He put his hands up, his Shadow Balls shrinking in size. (( *bites tongue* ))

Mewtwo put energy into helping Molly with the shields.

Jack screamed as the knife went into him, trying to grow so it wouldn't hurt as badly.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys shifted to Defense Form and began helping with shields.

[Kamalia]

Molly gave Mewtwo and Deoxys a quick nod of thanks, pulling a small bit of her energy into healing the wound on her face. The rest of her scuffs could wait. She focused back onto the shields, halting only to put up a Will-O-Wisp around herself. The purple orbs of fire scalded any who touched it, and the Dusk understandably tried to keep their distance from it, waiting for an opening before hesitantly lashing out at her.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost raised an eyebrow at Ironskull, "You just gonna lie there or are you getting up?" She asked, laughing slightly, rings glowing again.

Ghost Girl used Moonlight!

[rubybeam]

Zincano soon let her rage overtake her "All right let's avenge him!" she turned and chaged into battle not caring if she was infect or not following her pain was a trail of red blood and corpses

[Azunara]

Speck felt another of her friends...or enemies...She felt SOMEone die, and it distracted. She took the Night Slash head on, and it flung her backwards. She screamed in pain, the dark energy tearing at her. She furiously leaped up, and leaped at Scarab, temporarily forgetting she was to send him out, not kill him.

Speck used Dark Pulse!
Speck used Shadow Claw!

---

Solara hissed. They were outnumbered, and everyone was being worn down. With each Dusk that went down, another sprung up. Dialga panted, standing closer to the group. "I'll distract them, you guys get out of here. They want me alive, and I think I can handle a few voices. I've fought off worse. Daray can tell Speck and Summer where we are, but they'll keep killing us until they have their leader. You need to get out of here," He said.

[Kira]

"INCOMING!"
Delora blinked, her head rising from the oozing form that had been Jack. That sounded like...
Several loud roars echoed from the east side of the dusk army, ten white and blue forms rushing through, attacking and slicing the dusk in their way. A small one led the way, rushing to the cave and nearly tackling the female. "Hiya Aunty! Uncle!"
"Kaleo?! Who are-?"
"Cousin's from another pack! Ain't it great?!"

[Magnakilro]

Ironskull's eyes widened as he saw a Dusk Hitmonlee about to slam Ghost with a Hi Jump Kick.

He roared savagely and charged at it, launching it away with a Zen Headbutt

Deoxys looked over, "K-Kaleo!?"

Pinsir nodded and began slicing up Dusks.

[Kira]

Kaleo grinned at his Uncle. "Hiya!"
"What..how...?"
"Long story, no time, gotta go back into the fi-ah! LEGGOMYTAIL!"
Delora gave him a glare. "You are Not going anywhere."
The other Absol continued to cut through the army, working together to protect one another.

[Kamalia]

"I wouldn't quite consider this the best time for a family reunion, but in the case of your family, Delora..." Olivia's laugh sharply turned into a hiss as a Dusk raked its claws along her back. She busied herself with turning it into a smoldering husk.

Molly shot Dialga a nervous look. It was true, they were all exhausted. They could hardly keep fighting for much longer. "But... how could we possibly bring ourselves to abandon one of our own allies? Dialga, who knows what they have in store for you? Their leader must know that we're trying our hardest to keep ourselves from succumbing to the curse... and they don't seem like the type to sit back and wait to see if they're lucky."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost yelped and stumbled back as Ironskull charged past her, "WAUGH!! ..... Okay, note to self... Keep an eye on the Dusk while still healing friends. Argh."

She fired a shadowy sphere at the Hitmonlee.

Ghost Girl used Shadow Ball!

[Kira]

Delora let out a little laugh at Olivia's comment, then hissed. Damn dusk. "Stay here Kaleo."
"But-"
"Watch over Kyuu, then you'll be helping!"
"Who?"
"The one that's out in the back." Delora nodded to the white furred female and nudged him over, then looked at Deoxys. "Love..think you could spare a shield for me?"

Daray shook his head a bit as he looked at Dialga. "I'm not going to leave you, not happening."
Mewtwo nodded. "It would not be right."
