Rise of the Shadows!

[Azunara]

((Blargh. RL came up to me, said "Hai Azu! We're going to take you noaw." and my phone's internet went down. :p))

Solara gave a slight grin at Soundwave and nodded at Antheia. She then padded over to her brother, giving him a look of doom. He replied with an innocent grin, "Come on, Soly! Admit it, you like him. He likes you. Anyone can see it if they aren't blind. And it's a good thing." Solara scowled at him, muttering, "You're such an idiot," but Zerak seemed unfazed, cackling.

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave walked back to his corner and just laid there, not sleeping yet. He was deep in thought about recent events.

[Kira]

Ciro slashed the tree before him one last time before he moved to let it fall, growling.

[Magnakilro]

A voice spoke in Ciro's vicinity, "Ahhh the rage of a small child...such a wondrous thing to behold..." the voice cackled.

[Kira]

Ciro snarled and looked around, a shield popping up around himself, followed by a Safe Guard. "Who said that?!"

[Magnakilro]

Demonica appeared behind Ciro, "Just a....friend..."

[Kira]

Ciro felt his fur start to puff. "Who are you and what do you want?"

[Azunara]

Zerak nudged Aurora, who squeaked and clung to her uncle's paw, looking at her adopted mommy, slightly scared. She had dark colors like the scary ghost things that attacked. Solara nodded at Aurora carefully, not surprised, and went over to Soundwave, flopping down. "I appreciate the berries, really. I'm glad you helped me out, too. Burning doesn't sound fun."

[Magnakilro]

Demonica grinned wickedly, "Nothing major sweetie....I just want to drink your blood....that's all..."

----

Soundwave looked over, "Its no problem...." he sighed as he put a wing on her back.

[Kira]

Ciro growled and backed up. "Not going to happen.."

[Magnakilro]

Demonica cackled, "I beg to differ...."

She fired a Shadow Ball

[Kira]

Ciro jumped away from the ball and took a breath, letting out a small but steady stream of fire at Demonica.
Ciro used Flame Thrower!

[Azunara]

Solara blinked, and despite herself, quietly purred.

[Magnakilro]

Demonica moved away from the flames. She fired a Dark Pulse at Ciro.

----

Soundwave looked at her, "You know....I feel really comfortable with you...."

[Kira]

Ciro winced as he was struck in the side, backing up from Demonica and snarling, letting electricity charge in his fur before he fired it at her.
Ciro used Zap Cannon!

[Azunara]

Solara glanced at Soundwave, and was grateful for her dark fur. Finally, it served a purpose. She gave him a slight grin, "Me too. I haven't felt this content or safe since when my sister was alive. Didn't think I'd ever feel this happy again..."

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave looked at her, "Life has a way of surprising us...doesn't it?"

----

Demonica was knocked back a bit from the blast. She retaliated by charging full force at Ciro.

Demonica used Giga Impact

[Azunara]

Solara nodded, "Really does. Just when you think one thing, it totally throws you off balance."

[Magnakilro]

"I think its neat....I mean....it'd be boring if it was predictable..." Soundwave replied.

[Azunara]

Solara nodded, "Yeah. That's a good point. And besides, a lot of what happened to everyone came from a surprise, something changing. None of us would meet if it weren't for surprises and change. So it's good, in a way."
