Rise of the Shadows!

[Magnakilro]

Demonica sighed, "Yet...I still wish Rosen were here..."

[Kira]

Kyuu sighed and bit her lip for a moment. "I really am sorry.."

[Magnakilro]

Demonica shook her head, "Don't be....you didn't do anything to me that I didn't deserve..."

Deoxys looked around, "Where's Delora?"

Chomp rested his head against Rikki's fur, "I'll be fine..."

[Kira]

Kyuu winced again. "I'm just glad you've got some of your sanity back. You're really freaky when you go insane...I hate to admit it but I was actually scared for a little bit there."

[Magnakilro]

Demonica chuckled, "...I guess I should go....."

[Moonlost]

Venin looked back over her shoulder, slowing down to a trot. Her leader had stopped and was panting heavily. Venin carefully moved closer, cautious in case the Manectric had enough power for one last attack. She had seen what she did to thise two Umbreons, she did not want the same to happen to her. She needn't have worried, it was as if Seventeen couldn't see her. Suddenly, she collapsed. Venin cused and ran up to her, Gamin following behind. The Vaporeon melted into water and enveloped Seventeen, using her Aqua Ring to start the healing process.
"Think you're strong enough to carry the both of us?" Venin asked Gamin.
"I'm no Baaz, but I should be able to." The Mightyena responded, walking over and laying down next to the Manectic. Venin dragged herself and Seventeen onto Gamin's back, then wrapped her liquid form around his chest. Gamin grunted as he got up, taking a minute to adjust to the weight. He then started to lope forward, headign towards the scent of other Dusk.

[Lupis]

The Dusk had re-gathered behind the mountain that the legendaries had lived on. Scarab hurt, a lot, and leaned against a tree, snarling curses to himself. The voices were angry at him. He looked up, eyes narrowed, as Red approached, carrying Delora. "Gotta lil' treat for ya, master!" the bodyguard said cheerfully, and tossed Delora to the ground before the Kabutops.

Buzzard landed, setting Dr. Insins on the ground and keeping watch to make sure the scientist would be safe.
Vulture, one of Buzzard's siblings, flew a quick patrol to look for Seventeen and the others - he stopped when he saw them, and flew down. "There you are! Se- oh, she looks bad. Need help?"

[Kira]

Delora winced as she hit the ground and shook her head to get rid of the spikes of pain that ran through her. She pushed herself to her feet, snarling the entire time. Well, this isn't exactly what she had planned on happening but..she could work with it.

[Lupis]

Scarab looked at Delora and smiled darkly. This was exactly what he needed right now. Someone to kill. He didn't want to waste time talking, so he moved forward quickly to put a scythe to her neck.

[Moonlost]

Dr. Insins staggered away and leaned up against a tree, trying to will his airsickness away. He ws used to flying on the back of a Tropius, not being carried by a Charizard. It had not been a pleasant experience.

Gamin looked up at Vulture, happy to see the Charizard. "Yes!" He barked up at him "The Boss is badly hurt and damned heavy."

[Kira]

Delora couldn't help but growl. Maybe she could talk her way out of this...worse came to worse she'd simply attack him and deal with it. "You don't want to do that.."

[Lupis]

Vulture snorted a laugh at the comment about weight, but looked serious. He lowered himself to the ground to let Gamin climb on his back, wings flared and ready to carry them back.

Scarab kept his scythe to her throat. "Why isss thisss? Oh, yesss, your Dawn friendsss will attack. Yet, for every ten Dusssk that die, one of you perishessss. We have hhhundredsss... Perhapsss thoussandss. And you, ten, twelve?" He twitched the scythe, impatient, but willing to get all the information out of the potential conversation that he could.

[Kira]

"We have legends as well. Besides, that little group managed to take out Deoxys in the previous war." Delora said simply, her eyes never leaving the Dusk leaders face. "And I seriously doubt that you want the Wrathful One to return to that state. After all..it took Arceus himself to stop him."

[Azunara]

Solara was still asleep, but Zerak had managed to pull himself awake, growling in pain. "Electric attacks...I hate them, and they shouldn't even hurt that much. Figures." He scowled, stretching his limbs. Cro was also awake, and he looked better with sleep and his father's healing. He still had a few minor burns and scratches, but it was nothing a bit of rest wouldn't take care of.

"No one...no one died, right?" He asked, sounding rather worried.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys was looking around frantically, "Where's Delora?"

[Lupis]

Scarab didn't change his expression. "Legendsss can die. You were fighting him asss only a sssmall group, but an army doess not fall in one fight. No matter how ssstrong, no matter how fasst, everything can die when fighting alone. Your Wrathful One will learn thiss." He gestured at the Dusk with his broken scythe. "Thiss hass taken out your leader oncce. I alone nearly killed him again. Thisss has taken the livess of your family. Do not think of the deathss of many Dussk as your victory. We never fall without taking our enemy with uss."
His scythe twitched again. He was just about ready to kill her.

[Azunara]

((Kira...Kill Delora and you will have Sol and Cro nomming your face. Mainly Cro. >:|))

Cro also looked rather worried, clambering onto sleeping Dawn and using them as elevation to search for her.

[Kira]

"Funny...I'm sure you're not as strong as you all think you are...after all..how could we have gotten your little bird friend otherwise?" If she was going to die, she was going to piss him off as much as she could before. If she could just get an inch of room..

(( I wouldn't do that!*Puts on her hockey helmet*That's just silly! ))

[Moonlost]

Venin slid herself and Seventen onto Vulture's back, wrapping her liquid form tightly onto the Charizard and making sure the Manectic was secure.
"Just take them two," Gamin called back. "I'm not too injured, I cn make my own way back."

((Edit: If you need an excuse for Scarab to keep Delora alive, I can have Insins come up with one. :> ))

[Lupis]

Scarab, physically, didn't react in the least. The voices took over his vocal cords and spoke for him. "That uselesss bird? Blind and crippled. Hardly worth keeping around."
I will save her, growled that unfamiliar voice again. He shook his head slightly to clear it as the voices roared for silence. His scythe flicked forward, but not forcefully, just as a reaction to the roaring. Another outburst like that and she'd be dead wether he liked it or not.

Vulture nodded at Gamin. "Sure thing. Lets get back, Scarab'll be happy to see his Lieutenant isn't dead. Well, yet. I hope." He took off towards the rest of the Dusk, flying somewhat slowly from the extra weight.
