Rise of the Shadows!

[Senna-Umbreon]

Rikki fell silent, a downcast expression on her face. This wasn't going very well....

Ghost sighed. She had had enough of this... She carefully put Rust down on the ground near Iron, then walked a few feet closer to the Dusk, specifically Solara. "Sol... I know you want me dead, and you probably won't believe anything I say... At least just let me say this: I'm sorry. I really really am. I was being a stupid and jealous idiot when I attacked you... And believe me.. I regret it.. Not just because you want me dead.. I regretted doing that immediately afterwards.. When I realized how stupid I was being. Please Sol.. Just please believe me... I'm sorry...."

[Lupis]

Buzzard didn't know where that voice came from. Still, he spoke. "I regret to say - restate, perhaps - that we did not have a glorious past. As I have mentioned, we were savage. Killers. Designed to destroy. But do not see us as static and unchanging. What we did while our minds were still clouded... We cannot repay the damages we have done. However, please, look at us not as what we were, but what we are now. We no longer attack children, a despicable action. We go out of our way to leave them unharmed."

He turned his head to Earthia. "I was there. I watched the attack. Solara was very careful, she did not harm the younglings. If any were harmed, it was the blind attacks of those enraged at seeing us. Knowing what we used to be, I cannot blame you. But now, do not think we-" his face twisted in disgust, "-slaughter children thoughtlessly.
"And is that true, that you would only knock them out? When it simply delayed the problem? Your child still wouldn't be safe. It wouldn't be safe until the attacker was gone, or lost his memory."

[Azunara]

Solara snarled in protest, growling and quivering with hatred. She didn't say anything further though, just bristled and bared her teeth. "They...jut don't get it, do they? The idiots!" She hissed mentally, tail lashing.

She glanced at Ghost, glaring. The umbreon was right, Solara didn't trust her as far as she could throw her. She hissed softly, "You think saying sorry will make everything better?"

[Senna-Umbreon]

"No. I don't." Ghost replied, shaking her head slowly. "I wish it could... But it can't."

[Magnakilro]

Jaws spoke up to Solara, "You know what your problem is, rug? Your too damn intent on remembering only the bad things that happened in your life. You never once focus on the good things that happen to you. You just stand there and bitch and whine about everything that went wrong in your life!"

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost flinched as Jaws spoke up. Oh crap, this wasn't going to end very well... "You stupid Sand-Brained shark!! Do you really think that's going to help?! All it's going to do is make her rip your throat out!!" She cried, tail lashing with frustration.

[rubybeam]

"Then I would just repeat the same step, knock the guy out it's never right to kill" earthia stated

[Azunara]

The psyceon clicked her claws on the ground, lunging forward at Jaws with a snarl. She didn't move far or even connect, and fell back a few paces. It was more of a threatening move than an actual attack. "He'd be dead. Right now. If it weren't for the fact that this is a...somewhat peaceful mission. Or as peaceful as you can get." She growled mentally. "They won't be convinced. It's pointless."

[Magnakilro]

Jaws hissed, "Listen carpet....I'm not gonna stand here and let her cause a friend of mine emotional pain..."

Jaws watched Solara and made a smirk, "Bring it kitty...."

[Lupis]

Buzzard whispered in Solara's mind, Don't worry, Sol... Within the hour you'll have your chance. But you're right. They're not going to be convinced. So fall the stubborn... "I will give you a moment more to respond. Then we will take our leave. This was not intended to be an aggressive meeting, and it will not be one." He glared at Jaws as he said that.

[Senna-Umbreon]

"Oh and you think I'm going to let her kill one of my friends because I was an idiot?!" Ghost snapped, glaring at Jaws.

[Kamalia]

Molly watched the conversation, tense. She could find no words to answer Holly's question. She really had no idea what they were going to do.
Olivia sidled slightly closer to Jaws after he spoke, watching Solara warily. She wasn't about to have her man's throat ripped out. Though she didn't do so without throwing Jaws a look.
Julius stood beside Iron, stiff-legged. He watched Solara and Ghost silently.

[Moonlost]

"Hate and anger will always exist." Baaz sighed. "It is foolish to think otherwise. People will do stupid things, other people will blame them for it. Sometimes, people just rub each other the wrong way. The thing uniting the dusk is your hatred of us and your desire to see the world conform to your way of thinking. What happens once they dom when you have no enemies to fight, no cause to rally to? Will your brotherhood remain firm, or will it splinter?
"Nonetheless, you seem rational. Surely there's a way to resolve this other than "Dusk or Death"?"

[Azunara]

Solara remained where she was, hissing at Jaws. She waited for their answers, though she already knew what they'd be. She grinned savagely. She would enjoy killing all of them. At this point, she waited for the conversation to end so the destruction of the Dawn and Sunrise could begin.

((I know I've mentioned it...But still. Sol scares me. D:))

[rubybeam]

Cherrie stood in front of solara and jaws, her face rather unhappy for once "Would you two stop it!? I don't know you but you obvously used to allies, don't do this to yourself!" she glared at jaws "Insulting is not a way to gett someone back to normal!" she then looked at solara "and you...." her eyes narrowed "Your friend just apologized for what she did! can't you see that pain shes going through!? you should accept it..then maybe you wouldn't hurt so much nor would she"

[Magnakilro]

Jaws whispered to Olivia, "....I'm sorry.....I couldn't control myself...."

[Lupis]

Buzzard watched Baaz calmly. "Oh, yes, many solutions. We could let you be. But as I've mentioned, the Sunrise and the Dawn react violently to all Dusk they see. We cannot go about our lives if you attack us. We could attack you instantly and wipe you off the map. But that is not the new Dusk way. Or, we could give you a chance, a reasonable offer. What harm is there, anyhow? You simply swear allegiance to us. We do not command that you clean our buildings or bring us food. You need not deal with us, so long as you do not attack us. I must admit, I don't see what is so difficult about this choice. It simply asks, War, or Peace? Will you see us a allies, or will you see us as enemies to fight to the death?"

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys spoke up, "I have a question for you Solara.....what would Shadwyn say if she saw you like this?"

[Kamalia]

The Floatzel's head lowered. He stared long and hard at Solara's smile, so out of place in the conversation. Whatever Buzzard was saying about peace and new ways, it was, to him, being very contradicted by that murderous smirk on her face. It made his fur stand on end. His claws gouged at the dirt in his nervousness, seeing her like this. That was not his sister in front of him there. It couldn't be. He frowned to himself, recalling back to when she was an Espeon. Trying so hard to heal his eye, comforting him after his experience with Reese. That was his sister.
Wasn't it?

The Blaziken was silent, her fists clenching and unclenching. She honestly couldn't blame him. She would like to throw some insults herself! The confident air these Dusk gave off infuriated her.

Taia's claws tapped against the ground in impatience, waiting for the order to attack.

[Azunara]

Solara growled darkly, "Keep Shadwyn out of this."
