Rise of the Shadows!

[Azunara]

Cro growled quietly, disappointed. This had only caused more people to be upset. Stupid timelines. Why couldn't he do something more useful or neat? Something that made people happy? Almost always, he ended up making people sad.

The past Solara had finished her evolution, looking a bit shaky and exhausted. She had left the lab, and Cro didn't even bother following, saying quietly, "That's what happened to her. From there, they must've evolved a few more and attacked Tira, Pinsir and Zerak," He said, guessing.

"I'm...just going to take us back," He said, and Aurora sniffled in reply.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost nodded solemnly, "Alright..." Arg, maybe she shouldn't have come along with...

[Kira]

Delora sighed as she looked everyone over. "This has to end soon. We can't take much more of this..."

[Azunara]

Cro nodded, taking them back. Aurora immediately returned to Zerak's body. It was her only comfort, and she whined, curled up. It sunk in; she was alone. Cro shook himself, sighing and lying down near his family.

---

Solara had rested, though her head still hurt. She sat up, watching the edge of the forest. Old habits died hard, she was on guard.

((Mrrf. Signing out early.))

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys rested his arms on her back, "I just hope we can figure something out soon..."

[Kira]

Delora nodded and gave him a gentle nuzzle before she looked at Cro. "What's wrong son?"

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost blinked. Okay.. Time travel is even worse than teleporting. Argh. She turned her attention to Aurora, then padded over to her, "Hey Aurora..? You can come over and hang out with me, Iron and Rust if you want. I mean.. You're a part of my family. Sol was, no, still is, my sister.. Which makes me your aunt. So don't worry.. Me and Iron will take care of you."

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys rested his head on Delora's flank, "....I'm scared Delora...."

[Kira]

Delora blinked and looked at Deoxys. He had never said that before. She shifted a bit, almost as if to make him comfier. "I am too love.."

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys nuzzled her and snuggled, "....I didn't think the situation would get this bad..."

[Kira]

"I don't think any of us did.." Delora closed her eyes as she settled in. "Times like this I wish this was just a nightmare and we'd all wake up."

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys maneuvered a hand over to Delora and began stroking the fur on her head. Stroking her fur usually made him feel better, it wasn't cutting it today.

[Kira]

Delora closed her eyes, her tail giving a single flick before it went still. They would feel better once everything was over.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys looked at Pinsir, "Its a wonder how he managed to survive...."

[Kira]

"Hmm, bugs tend to do that." Delora said quietly, then she blinked. "I didn't mean that in a bad way of course..they're just very tough."

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys chuckled, "Are you just saying that because we happen to share a weakness to Bugs?"

[Kira]

"That is quite possible." Delora said with a little smile. "They can also be annoying to those without weaknesses to them."

[Magnakilro]

Pinsir looked around. Good. No one's getting worried about him. He relaxed against the tree.

[Kira]

"Hi there!" Aeris tilted her head as she hung down from her branch to look at Pinsir, her head tilted. "Oh ouchies, what happened to you?"

[Magnakilro]

Pinsir looked up, aww crap, "I was attacked....burned pretty badly heh..."
