Rise of the Shadows!

[Kira]

(( I don't feel like killing Ikis Just yet so.. ))

Ikis glared at his sister before he grabbed the odd little eevee like child by the tail and darted off into the forest.
"HEY!" Kyuu took off after him, snarling.
"Crapcrapcrapcrap." Ikis winced as he ran, trying to get rid of the current in his leg. "A little help would be nice!"

[Lupis]

Summer shook her head. "Not badly. Burnt, hurting, but physically I'll be okay." The Dark Pulse had been, and still was, painful.

The charizards flew towards the scene and saw Kyuu, diving at her one after the other, breathing fire at her before flying back up.
Charizards use Flamethrower!x3

((Better watch out, Ghost! They planned for that sort of thing to happen. They have plans.))

[Kira]

Kyuu skidded to a stop and snarled up at the Charizards. "Get down here and fight one on one ya jerks!"
"No idea who you all are but a lift would be nice!" Ikis called out, stumbling a bit. Damn leg!

"Please don't do that again." Sosa said quietly. "I was worried about you.."

[Lupis]

Two of the Charizards kept divebombing Kyuu, while the third dove towards Ikis, landing in front of him. "Need a lift? C'mon!"

"I won't.. Hopefully I wont put myself into that kind of situation again. I guess that's what happens when I bottle things up..." Summer said.

[Kira]

Ikis nodded and moved over to the Charizard, not about to fall into the giant lizard as he hopped onto his back.
Kyuu tried to hit the Charizard, rather annoyed.

"You shouldn't do that Summer..I'm here if you need to talk."

[Kamalia]

((*grin* Thanks Azu! *feels mildly guilty*))

Julius's eyes groggily slid open halfway. He moaned and put his paws on his head. He felt a large lump on it and his temples throbbed with his heartbeat. He blinked, slowly. "Cro?" He croaked, a confused look on his face. Why was Cro asleep? And why did he look all beat up? For that matter, why were they both all beaten up? Julius looked around. He let out a high-pitched squeak.

Dusk were absolutely everywhere. Julius curled up tighter, his eyes wide with panic. One moment there was suddenly a flurry of attacks, and now... a few Dusk cast looks at him that ranged from curious to menacing to an almost hungry expression. He squirmed closer to Cro, trying to take it all in with his woozy head. He felt a cold chill and he looked up to see a Gastly floating above him. He let out another pathetic-sounding squeal of fear.

[Lupis]

Summer sighed. "It's... complicated. Well, not really. Look, I..." She trailed off, annoyed at herself. Where was the Summer she used to be? She took a deep breath and let it out, at the same time murmuring something that was lost before it left her lips.

The Charizard carrying Ikis flapped up into the air, flying towards the Dusk.

The two charizards attacking Kyuu flew loops around her. One of them was hit in the leg by her attack, and flapped higher in the air to avoid getting hit again. "Do we need this one?"
"She's not a child!"
"Yeah, but-"
"Scarab said kids only, stupid!"
"Oh, okay." They flapped off towards the Dusk.

[Moonlost]

((My internet has been dead these past few days, urgh. Any chance someone could PM me with what's happened? Urgh, I think I've asked the same thing about a hundred times before. With my frequent absenses, I'm half tempted to hand over my characters to others and leave the RP to those in the right time zones. ))

Baaz collapsed in the snow, out of breath. The two murkrows circled around him, tormenting him with their infenral questions. The two lazily landed in front of him, then began to hop towards the sides of his face, the pink moving to his left eye, the black to his right. What where they planning? Were they going to pluck his eyes out?
"Who are you?" The pink one asked, head twisting to the side as it asked, it's voic3e taking on a strange, almost etherial quality.
"I told you a thousand times, I am Baaz!" He cried out weakly.
"That is just your name." The black one said, hopping closer, it's voice deep and menacing. "An otherwise meaningless word that can be replaced with a thousand others. What do you want?"
"You to leave me alone!" The Arcanine responded.
"You only think that. Once we are done, we shall leave. Who are you?"
"I am Baaz, a former police pokemon and former Hound of the Dusk." His mind raced, trying to find something they might deem to be a suitable answer.
"Those are jobs, things you did. They do not define who you are. What do you want?"
"I need to find my honour again."
"Honour is just a word, there is no such thing. Your actions define who you are, not some invisible code. Who are you?"
"I... I don't know who I am any more."
[/b]"You only believe you don't. It takes more than a crisis of faith for someone to completely loose their identity. What do you want?[/b]
"I want to know what you're talking about."
"Look to yourself then. You already know what we speak of and the answers to our questions. Who are you?"
Baaz struggled to his feet, mind whirling as he did so. "I... I am Baaz. I am an Arcanine. I an a proud warrior who fights those who would wish harm upon the helpless." He could head the voices of the dusk screeching in the back of his mind. "I am Baaz!" He roared out, dancing waves of file moving across his body.
"And what do you want?" The two birds lauched themselves into the sky, circling over him.
"I want to help the Dawn fight back against the Dusk. I want to make the world safe again. I want to see Lilith again, to apologise to her for being such a fool. And I want to get away from this damanble mountain!"
There was silence. He looked around, searching for the two Murkrows. He saw nothing but ice and sleet. Were they just phantasms? Even if they were, what did it matter? He had his answers, now he wanted to leave this frozen hell. Filled with a burning strength he didn't know he had, he charged south, eager to return to the Dawn.

[Azunara]

((Whoo! Baaz!))

Cro was once again, also semi awake, still rather in pain. He shook himself, glancing at Julius. "Ow...You okay? I don't think I can get either of us out of here. You don't happen to be magically psychic, do you?" He asked, already knowing the answer to that question. They were stuck until someone came to save them. He was never taught how to do that nifty mental communication thing like his siblings could; he wasn't psychic. And he was too exhausted and hurt to think about going into the timelines, nevermind taking Julius as well.

"What do we do? What do you think they'll do? Do you think they'll...kill us?" Cro sounded rather young and scared, not to mention wincing occasionally. The gastly had been slow to react, tired, and didn't seem to notice them quite yet. Only a matter of time.

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave continued buzzing.

Zap charged into the cave, carrying Theia "MOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM"

"MOM! MOM! METHEIARUSTCROANDJULIUSWEREOUTPLAYINGBUTAFLAREONNDABIGCATTHINGATTACKEDUSANDKIDNAPPEDRUSTCROANDJULIYUSANDTHEYHURTTHEIA!" he screamed in one breath to Rikki.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Rikki flailed slightly then blinked, "OhArceus...."

Ghost tilted her head at Zap, then froze as she heard the words 'Rust' and 'Kidnap' around the same time, "...... WHAT?!?!?!?!"

((XD Yay for Ghost freaking out!))

[Magnakilro]

Ironskull woke up, tilting his head at Ghost as if saying, "What's wrong?"

Soundwave heard the story from Zap, he looked at Solara, "Wanna go save some kids?"

Chomp got to his feet, "We gotta save them!"

[Azunara]

Solara grinned, "Let's go." She raked her claws on the ground, tail lashing. She winced a bit as she heard Ghost screech, then added, "Well. Keep in mind they'll be guarding those kids well. So there will definitely be a rather big fight. Hopefully you're all well rested...We can't waste too much time, before they do who knows what to them."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost was too busy raging to even notice Iron, "Grr.... WHEN I GET MY PAWS ON WHOEVER TOOK RUST, THEY WILL WISH THEY WERE NEVER EVEN BORN!!!"

((Ghost used Rage! It's Super Effective! XD))

[Magnakilro]

Iron heard the words Took and Rust. He gave a mountain-shaking roar.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost glanced around at everyone, "Well.. WHAT THE F**K ARE WE WAITING FOR?! LET'S GO, DAMMIT!!!!" She screeched, completely and utterly furious.

((I think this is the angriest Ghost has ever been... Wow. Seriously. I'd HATE to be the Dusk trying to fend her off... *Shudders* They'll all probably be ripped to shreds. If they don't all run away at the sight of a raging Umbreon and Rampardos, that is. I'D run away if I saw that! XD))

[Magnakilro]

Chomp nodded, "Let's go everyone!"

He charged out, making sure to grab the kidnapping supplies Darkrai gave him....minus the dagger. He'll give Scarab a taste of his own medicine. Iron and Soundwave followed.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost charged after Chomp, quickly passing him. She stopped near where the kids had been playing and sniffed the ground, trying to pick up a scent. Finally, she did, and then raced off in the direction the scent led.

Rikki blinked, "Arceus.. And I thought I'd seen the extent of Ghost's anger. I'd REALLY hate to be whoever did this... She'll rip them to pieces without hesitation."

"I'll say." Arinei nodded, "The Dusk have reached a whole new low with this.. Assuming it is them. But then again, who else would do this?"


((*Edit* Oh yes. I forgot to add.. If you all start the next battle when I'm asleep.. I shall sick Ghost on you! And I'm sure none of you will like that. .. Hell hath no fury like Ghost when she's going after people who kidnapped her son. XD))

[Magnakilro]

Chomp and Co. did their best to keep up with Ghost

[rubybeam]

Lily was still just a little ball of fur and burns on the ground she hoped someone would find her soon, she heard her stomach grumble it was too painful to get up she found herself slowly slipping unconcious
