Rise of the Shadows!

[Senna-Umbreon]

Oh Arceus. Solara had noticed her... Oh well... It was about time she stopped moping and actually DID something about this.

Ghost jumped down from the tree she was in and slowly padded over to the Espeon, "Um.. Sol? Can I talk to you for a moment?"

((Pah, doesn't THAT sound familiar? XD *Pokes Ghost of two years ago, then gets other hand bitten off* OH COME ON.))

[Kamalia]

"Aw, I'm sure it'll happen some day. I was thinking I'd never evolve, too." The Floatzel shrugged again and smiled, watching Rust with amusement as he noticed that the Cranivee was half-sunk into the thick fur on Julius's stomach. "I didn't think I'd still be so furry."

"Okay, Molly, I think I'm okay now." Olivia pushed the Gardevoir's hands away and pressed a claw to her tender skin. "Ow. Stupid Dusk."
"Be glad that wasn't an attack you were weak to. I would rather not have to witness you getting your head blown off of your shoulders."
Olivia rolled her eyes, then glanced at Tira. "What's up, buggy girl?"
Tira was curled up into a ball. "Nothing. Just thinking. I feel so sorry for Deoxys and his kids. It must be terrible losing a parent..."
...We need to tell her at one point or another.
Yes, I know. Maybe when Tira isn't infected... we won't risk having her turn into a dark ball of claws and teeth and tears and rage.
Because being a green ball of claws and teeth and tears and rage is so much better.
Get outta my head, Molls. It hurts.
The two frowned at one another.

[Azunara]

((*expects incoming maulings from eeveelotions...goes get antiseptic and bandages.*))

Solara flicked her ears, jolted from a quiet hum and warm sunlight. She was a sun pokemon...And the sun was rather warm. Made her sleepy. Nonetheless, she glanced at Ghost, head tilted. "Yeah?" She asked.

[Moonlost]

Baaz thet the flames on his body die down a bit. He nodded his thanks to Theia.
"Where are the others?" He asked the children.

[rubybeam]

Volt smirked for just a secound although ti was hidden by his fluffy face he crawled up to julius releasing out of his static into the water weasels for

[Kamalia]

"GNNYAAH!" Julius yelped as his fur stood on end. "Volt!" He reached in and fished Rust out of his fur and deposited him to the side before he got up and began trying to unsuccessfully groom his fur back into place, giving Volt a very gentle bat with his tail.

[Kira]

"They're back with everyone else." Ciro said as he returned to normal.
Ketsin stayed in defense forme for now, his shields staying up.
Theia sniffled as she looked at he father. "I don't like him like this....I'm scared"

[Senna-Umbreon]

Rust squeaked, "MEEP!"

--

"I uh.. Well.." Ghost sighed. Agh. Stupid awkwardness. ... Funny how similar this seemed to another time the two of them had talked, a few years ago... "I hate how awkward things are between us..... I know this sounds real familiar and like all the times I've moped around the last while, but..." She paused, ".. I just want my best friend back. And don't say something stupid like 'That Espeon doesn't exist anymore', or whatever, cause I know that's not true.. Or at least.. I hope it's not..."

[rubybeam]

"To think it's going to have a higher effect when I evolve" volt snickered "I'm not the only puffball after all.."

[Azunara]

Solara shook herself, unsure of what to say, "If she's there, she's really, really scared." Solara said, with a light grin. Okay, not funny. Right. She added seriously, "I don't know, though. When ever I put an effort to return to normal, something happens and I just slip deeper into the hole. I try, I really do, but it's hard to be sane when you have crazy Voices in your head demanding you kill everyone, or use the kids as bait for the Dusk. That's why I avoid the others. I don't want to Infect anyone or hurt anyone. It's why I hate it when Rust is near me, because I'm always scared I'll do something to Infect him. And I know you'll hate me, and I'd hate myself."

Solara sighed, looking at her paws. That really didn't help, did it?

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost sat down beside Solara, ".... Avoiding the others won't help. We're your friends, and we want to help you get through this... It's hard to do when you stay away though...."

She sighed, looking away, "Sol.. You're my best friend.. And my sister. I hate seeing you like this.. And I want to help... If only you'd let me...."

[Azunara]

Solara shook her head, frustrated with herself and the Voices. Why couldn't they leave her alone? And why couldn't she just fight them off and move on? The others did just fine. So why did she have to keep coming to the same roadblock, the same issue? Was it because she had been actively experimented on while they had just been Infected? She shook herself, trying to switch her train of thought to brighter things.

"Help is nice," She admitted. Her thoughts had raced from denying help to accepting it, and finally she chose the simplest answer. "But what do I do, exactly? Besides Soundwave, I feel so awkward around the others. They have better control, most of the time. Me? I'll be lucky if by all this is done I'm still sane. What do you think I should do?"

((And, I need to sleep. I've stayed on as long as I could, but now I must go to bed.))

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost thought for a moment, "Hmm... Well.. You could.. Goof off with me and the others! Remember that race that we had back at the berry dome? Right after we met Speck? Wasn't that fun? We should do more stuff like that! Maybe acting like your old self would help..."

[Azunara]

Solara gave a slight grin, "I do remember that. I beat you, didn't I?" Her grin became wider, and she nodded, "It's on. Bet I could beat you again." She said, hopping up and darting for the cave.

[Senna-Umbreon]

"Yeah but just barel--H-HEY! NO FAIR!!!" Ghost scrambled up and raced after Solara, laughing.

[Azunara]

Solara cackled, pausing. "Can't catch me!" She chirped, picking up speed and running again.

((*totally expects something to ruin this moment. When can anyone catch a break?*))

[Senna-Umbreon]

"I bet I can!!" Ghost replied, speeding up as a white light appeared around her paws.

Ghost Girl used Quick Attack!

((*Ponders whether Phantom should come and ruin the moment* ... Naaah. It's about time these two got to goof off together and not be interupted XD))

[Moonlost]

((Dusk Magikarp, gogo! Flail about uselessly frighteningly and disturb their fun!))

Baaz raised his head and sniffed. He could faintly make out the scent of the others, just enough so he could follow it if he needed to. He wanted to get the kids out of here, but could he just leave Deoxys, especially while he was still in this rage?
"Deoxys!" The Arcanine called out. "We need to get going, it is not safe for the little ones!"

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys nodded. He lifted his wife and cast a mass teleport, getting all Dawn in the area back to their cave. He immediately dropped to the ground and began to cry, tightening his grip on his wife.

[Senna-Umbreon]

((*Currently pondering what she should do with the rest of her Eeveelutions* Hmmm... Well, Butterfly and the others have disappeared and Phantom is still a menace.. Of course. *Keeps pondering to self* Hmm.. While he was with the Sunrise for a bit.. I doubt he'll stay. He just joined up with them because they were attacking the Dawn... Hmm.... *Tilts her head* Now... Shall I have the rest of Ghost and Phantom's siblings show up.... Butterfly could prove usefull in keeping Phantom from stirring up too much trouble... And I do happen to love the rest of them.. *Huggles Mercury* ... Now.. What to do with Phantom.. Do I eventually kill him off? Or maybe he gives up in his little crusade of killing Ghost? Naah.. That'd be lame and way out of character for him.. But I don't want to kill him... Hmm... *Keeps thinking, then suddenly looks around* .. Was I saying that all out loud? .. Well damn, I was. *Flails* Ignore me! I'm just thinking out loud here! ... Though now that I think about it... I WOULD love some suggestions ON WHAT TO DO WITH MY EEVEELUTIONS *Flails*))
