Rise of the Shadows!

[Lupis]

Scarab didn't wait. That was a threat towards Hands, and he wasn't giving her time to attack the poor blind Noctowl. He didn't even flinch, but prehistoric energy blasted towards Demonica in a sudden wave.
Scarab uses AncientPower!
Dusk around Scarab closed in, ready to swarm Demonica. Overall, however, the sudden actions were mostly lost in the throng. It looked like only a slight shift in position.

Crone just watched, no change in her expression.
Delrokx smiled. "Thanks! Lets get back to business, shall we?"
Five Ghosts unfaded, hidden in the leaves of the Weeping Willows, waiting to strike.

[Magnakilro]

Demonica hissed as she was struck, "Awww master...your going to let me remain curious like that?"

She cackled.

[Kira]

Delora felt her muscles tense up. This wasn't good, at all. She did whine again though. Ghosts...
Kyuu remained rather impassive in appearance, her Focus Blast now gone from her paw.

[Azunara]

At that moment, though, the gastly that was currently in charge of keeping the two kids asleep went to aid Scarab. Kiren stayed, snarling and guarding her captives, but Cro at least was starting to wake up. He twitched and snarled, half asleep. Kiren growled, readying flames.

---

Solara looked at Delora worriedly, tail flicking slightly, watching Kyuu and the sableeye carefully. They had to find the kids now...

[Moonlost]

Seventeen snarled, hearing the threat in Demonica's voice. She would not permit that. She lept at the ghost, her teeth crackling with electircity.

Seventeen used Thunder fang!

Insins could feel the suble change in the air. Things were getting hostile. He reached into his coat and pulled out a pokeball. He didn't release it's inhabitant just yet... but he was ready if he needed to.

[Magnakilro]

Demonica shrieked. She sent Dark Pulses in every direction, being sure to fire one at Kiren.

[Lupis]

Scarab hissed a quiet laugh and stepped back. Dusk closed in around where he had been, and he disappeared into the crowd.
"Nobody threatens Hands," echoed the entire ring of Dusk around Demonica. "Nobody that lives to tell the tale."
Blue and Red closed in to protect Kiren, Blue grabbing Julius and holding him tightly in one hand.

The five hidden ghosts, circling the Dawn, showed themselves by shooting assorted shadow attacks in an instant.
Shuppet uses Shadow Ball! (Towards Delora)
Duskull uses Shadow Ball! (Towards Solara)
Desamasu uses Evil Eye! (Towards Kyuu)
Banette uses Will'o'Wisp! (Towards Kyuu)
Crone uses Night Shade! (Towards Delora)
"Silly Dawn!" giggled Delrokx. "You really are clueless!"

[Azunara]

Kiren grabbed Cro, and snarled, "Should we run for it? As long as we have the kids, we still have a one up on the Dawn."

---

Solara sensed a sudden shift in the mood of the Dusk. Something had happened, and they were not happy. She tensed, quietly growling. Then, she snarled as they were attacked. "Ambush!" She hissed, dodging the attack the Duskull threw at her and easily slicing the wooden spikes down.

Solara used Cut!

[Kira]

Kyuu squeaked as she was hit, voice very quickly changing back to her own. Burns hurt! She growled and rubbed at her fur, wincing as she was hit again. Well, so much for that!
Delora snarled as she took the two attacks. "I Hate GHOSTS!" She took in a deep breath and let it out in a rush of star shaped flame.
Delora used Fire Blast!

[Kamalia]

Julius was still, the hint of an upset look on his face. His eyes were closed but were moving underneath of his eyelids. He let out a soft wheeze as Blue grabbed him.

Molly, Tira and Olivia waited with Chomp and the others. Olivia was flexing her claws, glaring at the general direction the Dusk were in. Tira's head was low, trying to see if she could catch a glimpse of a certain Froslass. Molly was simply unmoving, following Olivia's gaze.

[Magnakilro]

Demonica cackled, "Wow master...you really don't know me that well do you?" in reality...she knew this was her last stand. She could teleport away...but....where's the fun in that?

She just wished Rosen could watch.

She pulled out her pin.

"GO!" yelled Chomp.

Chomp, Deoxys and Soundwave charged through the Dusk, noticing the children in danger. Soundwave fired Air Slashes at Red and Blue's backs. Chomp charged at Kiren.

[Azunara]

Solara growled, healing Delora's cuts and giving a soft, soothing cry, healing any burns her allies suffered. She launched an attack at a ghost, stiffening her tail as she tried to smash into one of the ghosts.

Solara used Morning Sun!
Solara used Heal Bell!
Solara used Iron Tail!

---

Cro was up now, but pinned by Kiren. He growled, wishing he could do something more. But he still hurt from the flames. Kiren was caught off-guard by the sudden attack and she bared her teeth at the ferilgatr. Oh. Oh, that wouldn't end well.

[Lupis]

Blue nodded. "We need to get back farther. Wait until they attack. Then we use the children as negotiators." He grinned and chuckled deeply. "Mothers do anything for their gross little grubs!" He growled as he was attacked, and shook Julius roughly. "ATTACK AGAIN AND THE OTTER THING GETS IT!" he roared, grabbing one of his tails as if to break it.
Red grumbled at the attack, moving up to block Chomp's attack by holding out a fist to hit him as he charged.

[Moonlost]

Venin twitched her tail, wondering as to whether or not she should join in the attack.
"Venin!" Gamin growled, fur on edge, looking down eagerly into the pit.
"Go gettem boy." Venin said, annoyed at him. She sat down to watch.
Gamin roared at he jumped down at Delora, jaws open.

Gamin used Super Fang!

~

Seventeen howled in rage at the Demonica. She fired a bolt of lighting at her.

Seventeen used Thunderbolt!

[Senna-Umbreon]

(('Ello! Thanks for not doing anything too important. I really did not want to have to sick Ghost on you all XD .. Or get mauled by Ghost, for the matter >.<

*Spies a random Dusk Shuppet* .. SHUPPET~!!!! *Huggles it* <3))

Ghost yowled, charging. As soon as she was in the clearing, she leapt at Kiren, "You'll pay for this, you little bitch!!!!"

((Warning: Do not do anything to Rust unless you want to be brutally murdered by Ghost.))

[Magnakilro]

"CRO....GO NOW!" yelled Chomp, "HURRY!"

Demonica thrust the pin into her chest, sending the wound to Hands.

She shrieked as a Thunderbolt smashed into her.

[Kamalia]

The girls followed, Olivia letting out a battle screech. The Blaziken summoned her power and let it loose in a massive heatwave.
Olivia used Flare Blitz!
Molly and Tira leaped into battle as well.

Julius's eyes opened. He blinked several times, looking disoriented and angry. He let out a hissing noise at Blue before shooting out a stream of bubbling, steaming water at the hand holding his tail.
Julius used Boiling Water!

[Kira]

(( ...Oh now come on Senna...I have to now! ))

Ikis blinked a few times, a little smirk on his face. Oh this was interesting. He glanced at the little thing he still held in his paw, giving him a little shake. "Oy, brat, wake up...mommy is here."

Delora was more focused on torching the ghosts than anything else. Her flame was cut off by her yelp, her blade beginning to glow as she turned to glare at Gamim. "LET GO YOU MUTT!" She jerked her head, sending slashes of wind at the Mightyena.
Delora used Razor Wind!

[Azunara]

Solara snarled angrily, leaping at Gamin, and launching a barrage of attacks, allowing the rage to let her strike faster, harder. The only advantage of the stupid Dusk curse. She roared, slashing at him.

Solara used Psychic!
Solara used Psybeam!
Solara used Future Sight!

---

Cro growled, struggling to gather energy. He was still tired, and those flames still hurt, his hide burnt and scratched. Ow...He looked at Chomp, "I can't! I can't do anything," He lashed at Kiren, who was suddenly distracted by Ghost, and had released her grip on Cro.

"I don't even have your kid, umbreon!" She yelped, backing up a few paces. Cro struggled to get up, snarling. Ow, ow, ow.

[Lupis]

Scarab had retreated back, and was giving orders in cryptic hisses. One hiss made the Ice Dusk gather and begin combining their skills, creating a floating.. snowball? It would take a bit to finish the spell.
The fires (that weren't Kiren) gathered at another hiss and began channeling their own spell. It looked a lot like the one they had used to kill Dialga.
The Grass types gathered, and began combining skills to make a spinning, pulsing green orb of thorns, leaves and green light.

((I know this isn't really cannon stuff... But, logically, it could work. Anyway, if you want me not to use this kind of thing, just shout. I just think it makes things more interesting. Grass Knot gets boring after a while.))

The ghosts circled the small Dawn group, smirking and laughing. One of them was burnt by Delora's fire, but continued spinning. They launched Will'o'Wisps as one.
Dusk Ghosts (Including Delrokx and Crone) use Will'o'Wisp!

Blue snorted and tossed Julius to another of his hands. "Four hands, bud," he grumbled. "Sorry." He shook Julius roughly again.
