Rise of the Shadows!

[Kira]

Ciro shifted a bit and pushed against his fathers hand.
"You spoil him." Delora teased quietly, smiling at the two.

[Moonlost]

Baaz paused, if anything could convince him to stay, it was her. Even if she was also part of the reason he needed to go. He looked at her longingly, unsure why it was he cared for her so.

[Azunara]

Solara brightened. "If you have to go, can I come? It'd best to have company, and traveling alone is dangerous. Besides," She lowered her voice as well, "I feel out of place as well. I want to do something instead of sit here and feel miserable."

Speck blinked, "My family, I suppose. I don't remember much of them, but I'm pretty sure they're dead. And I want to remeet them."

((Go for it, Kira.))

[Moonlost]

Seventeen and the Hounds ran into the cavern, impressed witht he distruction that had taken place. A few humans and Pokemon still lived though, fighting for their lives. Lives which were now much shorter. Venin, hungerign for some violence, lept forward, liquefying herself. She wrapped herself around the head of a female trainer, drowning her with her watery body.
Gamin took the opportunity to ducka nd weave though legs, biting and tripping where he could, laughing as he did so.
Seventeen watched, content to let her pack run wild.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost smiled at Ironskull, "Thanks Iron.... A lot.." She nuzzled him again, then gave a satisfied sigh.

[Magnakilro]

Iron smiled at her. He would protect her with his life! He fell asleep, arms around Ghost.

((G2g to bed, gn all!))

[Kira]

(( Whoot! Incoming! ))

Lugia shifted himself, scowling. Something was wrong, very wrong. He lifted his head up and narrowed his eyes, not saying a word as he left the meeting still taking place and headed to his main temple. He moved as quickly as he could without causing a storm, his eyes still narrowed.

It did not take him very long to get there, and he slowed to a near stop. He heard screaming..and could smell the blood on the air. What had they done?! That was his Temple! His Sacred Place! He narrowed his eyes to mere slits as he let out a hiss, then dove down with a loud cry. The Dusk would Pay!

He flared his wings as he came to the entrance, another cry leaving him as he landed hard on the ground, his eyes mere slits as he glared into the area. So much blood..so much death..how could this have happened without him knowing? He pulled his head back, trying to find the murderers.

[rubybeam]

((and now I have to go to bed cya all tommorow after school))

Quest saw the legendary he cursed slinking into the darkness hoping that his psyhic powers will protect him, he got ready to use a teleport if needed

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost yawned, curling her tail around herself. She rested her head on her paws and fell asleep, snuggled up to Iron.

[Moonlost]

Seventeen turned, snarling at the legedary. She had not expected that. Her fur bristled, electricity sparking from the tips, and she glared at Lugia.
Venin solidified, leaving her latest victim gasping for breath. She shocked to see the great beast there. And Seventeen was snarling at it, picking a fight. There were times where she wanted to strangle her leader. And they seemed to be more and more frequent. What was she thinking?! Sure, the dusk had subdued Dialga, but that had been an army of them. They were five. And one of them was a puppy. She slinked forward, as much as she didn't like it, she had to.
Gamin's jaw dropped. Dialga had been impressive, but he had also been injured. This one was in his prime, and he looked angry. Seventeen was staring it down, he knew that look on his boss' face. Whimpering to himself, he moved along the back of the cave, trying to keep to the shadows, watching.

[Kira]

Lugia let out an angry hiss as he moved forward, allowing the humans and pokemon that were close enough to run from the cave. Some of the pokemon hesitated, but knew better than to stay around an angry legend.

"How Dare you Desecrate my temple." He snarled angrilly, still moving forward. "You will pay for this insult with your Lives!" His head reared back as an orange ball appeared at his mouth. He took a breath and leaned forward just enough to allow it to condense into a ball, which he fired at the hounds.

[Azunara]

Solara took a glance at Ghost. The umbreon had always been a loyal, steadfast friend...but now she did seem far. Solara felt like a shadow, flitting about in the lackluster light. Not even bothering to wait for an answer, she slipped out of the cave, padding along the familiar trails. She could see Mount Coronet in the distance, and that brought a lot of memories back. She headed towards the Mountain, from there hoping to just take shelter, and eventually make her way to Shadwyn's grave and think.

Speck suddenly crashed to the ground and hissed worriedly. There had been a huge spike of deaths. The Dusk were moving again. Dagger had gone to sleep, and Dialga had taken an old, familiar post as cave guard.

((I think I shall go to sleep...))

[Moonlost]

Seventeen and Venin jumped out of the way of the attack, barely dodging it. Seventeen ran around the legendary, leaping at his tail with fangs and claws.

Seventeen used Thunder Fang!

Venin kept to his front. She knew they had to keep him in the cave. Keeping the big guy grounded would be the key at having a chance. She jumped backward, almost playfully, keeping her eyes on Lugia. Using her tail, she flicked a great lob of dirt in the air, then fired a high pressured beam of water into it, aiming for the legendaries eyes.

Venin used Muddy water!

Gamin continued to keep hidden, his body low and behind some rocky outcroppings. He watched, waiting for his chance.

[Kira]

Lugia hissed again and jumped from the fangs, though he let out a screech as he was hit in the eyes with the water. He shook his head viciously to try and clear his vision, tail slamming to the ground. He continued to shake his head, though he was not foolish and set up some protection from a bite.

Lugia used Safeguard!

[Moonlost]

(( Lugia is awesome, I feel a little bad attacking him with mah hounds. Playing the bad guy can suck at times.))

Seventeen grunted, Lugia's tail just hitting her. Not enough to do any damage, but it still knocked the wind from her lungs. She backed off a little, sending a bold of lightning at Lugia whilst she regianed her strength.

Seventeen used Thunderbolt!

Gamin sprang forward form his hiding spot, attempting to leap onto Lugia's back and bite into him.

Gamin used Bite!

Venin grinned, happy to see the beast take her attack. It was comforting to know it could, indeed, be hurt. She glided further into the cave, using her liquid form to hide any noise she made. A safer distance away now, she fired a beam of ice at Lugia's chest.

Venin used Ice Beam!

[Kira]

Lugia cried out as he was hit with the electricity. He swung a wing around as he heard something moving at him, but he could not be sure if he got them or not. The Ice Beam struck and caused another cry to come from him. Damn it! He hissed and spread his wings out for a moment before he pushed them down and pushed himself off the ground.

[Moonlost]

Seventeen was smasehd into the cave wall by his wing. She fell down, cursing herself for not being more careful. Blood dribbled down her muzzle. And he was in the air now. She barked loudly, commanding her pack whilst she righted herself.

Venin saw Lugia take off, swearing mentally at the sight. She heard the bark, then aimed another Ice beam, this time going for Lugia's Left wing.

Venin used Ice beam!

Gamin was toppled as the great beast took of, He tried to grab onto the plate things on it's back to keep himself on top, but missed. He crashed to the floor, but quickly got up again. He darted once more to the rocks, moving once again into shadows.

[Kamalia]

Tira was dozing, her tail flicking now and then in her sleep.

Julius slowly nibbled on a berry, watching Ghost and Iron, a perplexed look on his face.

Molly sat at the cave entrance, staring up at the stars. She closed her eyes, trying to remember the shape and name of the constellations. Who was it that had taught her the names of the starry images? A family member? Her mother? Not that she could remember them. It had been so long ago... she curled up, opening her eyes again. She briefly wondered where Olivia was. Probably out with Jaws again. Those two were becoming inseparable. Her thoughts went quiet again as she stared back up at the stars. Several moments passed and she closed her eyes again, trying once again to reach out to Daray. Once again, she was unsuccessful. Could he even sense her trying to contact him? She gave a sigh and laid down on her back, staring up at the cave ceiling.

[Kira]

Lugia screeched again as he sank back to the ground, his wing too cold to move properly. He gave it a series of quick shakes, which also kicked up the air around him. He glared at the hounds and shifted his weight as he narrowed his eyes, commanding the ground beneath him to tremble.

Lugia used Earthquake!

---

Daray twitched slightly as he looked again. There was that annoying pain again! Why did he keep feeling that? Ugh..he wanted all of it to stop darn it..

[Moonlost]

He was down, good! Seventeen prepared to launch another thunderbolt at the great beast, but was interupted by the earthquake. She fell to the ground, yowling as the tremours unbalanced her, the power of the earth threatening to overwhelm her.

Gamin too was sticken by the earthquake, not nearly as much as Seventeen had been though. Shaken, he attempted to leap once more at Lugia, aiming for one of the black plates on his back.

Gamin used Bite!

Venin's liquid form absorbed most of the attack, although she was thrown about a fair bit. She flattened her body, waiting for the ground to stop shaking before she resumed her attacks. She surrounded herself with a thin veil of water, which pulsed with a cool blue light, healing the few wounds she had.

Venin used Aqua Ring!
