Vengeance of the Soultakers

[Azunara]

Ivika's Leaf Guard protected her from Dark Void!

Ivika snarled, switching her attention to the Lord of Nightmares. She could take him. Her claws glowing with pale energy, and a soft buzz as insects rose and swarmed, she leaped at him.

Ivika used X-Scissor!

The Dusk fought with renewed passion, and the houndoom got up, leaping for Deppy and snapping his jaws.

Dusk Houndoom used Fire Fang!

The two birds took off into the air, the pidgeot struggling with its unwanted passenger. The fearow dived down, striking at Cherrie. The pidgeot wrestled in the air, thrashing, trying to fling Asher off.

Solara leaped into the fray as well, snarling. A small part of her hissed that she didn't want this. That she wasn't like that anymore. She had a family...

Solara used Psychic Pulse!

[Saturo]

Darkrai grinned as the leafeon's attack hit. He raised his hands into the air, causing lightning to flash as clouds gathered.
Darkrai used Rain Dance!
He grinned, launching a second Dark Void at the leafeon.

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Grr, freakin' sleeping schedules... *Woke up at 4:30 AM*

Aaaaaand oh jeez, Sol's joined the fight. Not good.))

Rust stared after the Pidgeot, wishing he could do something to help his cousin other than being there to hopefully catch him if he fell. At the sound of Solara's snarl, the Rampardeon shrunk back slightly. Ohhh, he didn't like this one bit...

-

"Eh?" Phantom replied, blinking as Venin loped away. After a second or two, he bounded after her.

[Azunara]

Ivika snarled defiantly as the rain clouds formed. Too close to dodge the Dark Void, she went down. Solara looked up at the sky, shrugging. She didn't need the sun to take care of them. She wished her allies to recover, healing the fearow's torn wings and the pidgeot's ripped feathers.

She looked for a target, and much to her annoyance, she couldn't bring herself to strike Rust. Hissing in frustration, she easily switched targets to Deppy, launching an attack at her.

Solara used Psybeam!

Ivika struggled to wake up, giving a muffled snarl and striking in her sleep.

Ivika used Sleep Talk!
Sleep Talk turned into Energy Ball!

[Moonlost]

Asher clung onto the Pidgeot for dear life. Oh Arceus, why did he decide to cling onto these head feathers? HE tried to keep his grip on the Pidgeot, but it's thrashing proved to be too much. With a flick of his opponent's head, he was flung off, his small body tumbling as he fell to the ground below. The eevee cried out in panic at the freefall, trying to adjust himself to land on something softer than the hard ground below, unthinkingly heading for Solara.

[Azunara]

The pidgeot scree'd in triumph, and soared down to strike Rust.

Dusk Pidgeot used Fly!

Solara blinked and snarled as Asher landed on top of her. She shook him off, leaping away and growling. Dammit. The headache was back. What was wrong with her? She shook her head with a hiss, launching another attack at Deppy.

Solara used Bite!

---

Ivika was still trying to get up, recoiling and whining.

Ivika takes damage from Darkrai's Nightmare Aura!

[Saturo]

Darkrai used Nightmare!

[Moonlost]

Asher tumbled to the side, landing in the dirt. Urgh, that hurt...
He struggled shakily to his feet, looking up to see what broke his fall.
"... Auntie Solara?" He asked, ears folding back in shock.

Venin entered the battlefield, growlign to herself. Damn it! She hadn't been expecting them to attack so soon. THe Vaporeon bared her teeth and fired a beam of sheer cold at Darkrai.

Venin used Ice Beam!

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Waugh! So many new posts! >.<))

Rust let out a squeak as the Pidgeot dove at him. Scrambling to the side, he turned and skedaddled over to Asher.

Phantom snarled, leaping forward and firing a stream of flames at the Pidgeot before launching himself at Solara.

Phantom used Flamethrower!
Phantom used Flare Blitz!

[Azunara]

((*squishes down guilt.* BAD MORALS. I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUTSIDE.))

Solara snarled, baring her teeth and taking the flames. She retaliated with a blast of psychic energy.

Solara used Confusion!

Ivika whined, forcing herself to fight off the nightmare and wake up. She snarled weakly. That was awful. Switching her attention back to Darkrai, she gave a soothing call, trying to bring him to sleep as well, then chasing away the rain.

Ivika used Grasswhistle!
Ivika used Sunny Day!

She moved over to where Rust and Asher were, healing them. "Are you guys okay?" She added softly, "That was scary."

Ivika used Synthesis!

[Senna-Umbreon]

Phantom grunted as the psychic blast hit him, but shook it off. Snarling, he breathed out a wave of flames, then leapt at Solara again.

Phantom used Heat Wave!
Phantom used Crunch!

Rust nodded. "I'm okay.. I guess. You don't look very okay, though..." He replied, giving Ivika a worried look.

[Moonlost]

Asher looked between the two, before jumping to gently bite at one of his father's tails.
"Stop Dad, it's Auntie Solara!" He called out. "She's family, we can't fight family!"

((Poor, innocent Asher))

[Saturo]

"You pathetic little...", Darkrai started, before dropping to the ground, asleep.
Darkrai takes damage from Darkrai's Nightmare Aura!

[Azunara]

Ivika shook herself, "I'll live." She watched Darkrai carefully, ready to keep the sun alive and hum again. She wouldn't face those nightmares again. Not if she could help it. "I did it. I sent him to slee-oh, Dialga, Palkia, and Arcues, he's going to kill me when he wakes up." She squeaked, shifting her stance, ready to dodge any attacks he could launch when he woke.

---

Solara growled, wincing in pain and using the sun to heal herself. She hissed, glancing at Asher. She paused briefly, looking at him, blinking, then returned her attention to Phantom and lashed out.

Solara used Psybeam!

[Senna-Umbreon]

((B'aaw, poor little guy. *Pets Asher* .... *Starts hugging him*))

Phantom blinked at Asher, twitching the tail the Eevee had pounced on. "Yes, well... She's attacking us. ... It's, err, complica--Gah!!" He tried to explain, but was cut short as the Psybeam hit him.

[Saturo]

With the hum of Unown, the ground started to tremble. A Steelix made a remarkably sexy entrance, bursting out of the ground with a roar.

Sexy Steelix used Attract!

[Azunara]

It had varying degrees of effect. Ivika, too young and too scared to notice, was unaffected. However, the Dusk Pidgeot was, and it started crooning over the Steelix. Solara was too distracted with Phantom to notice it. The fearow was more disturbed than anything else, and the houndoom was howling, trying to call in more Dusk.

Solara growled, tense, ready to strike. She was furious with herself. Too weak to strike, even when her opponents were vulnerable. What was wrong with her?

[Saturo]

Darkrai snored again, annoyed at being stuck in a nightmare. His aura wasn't making it any easier.

The Steelix, annoyed at the lack of attention, dug under the ground again, bursting up in another area, once again striking a sexy pose.

[Moonlost]

"Auntie Sol, why are you atacking us?!" Asher pleaded to Solara, hoping the Psyceon would see reason.

Venin turned her head to... look at the sexy steelix.
"Oh my..." She muttered, before shaking her head. She fired a blast of ice at the Fearow to try and distract herself from the steelix' chiseled features.

Venin used Icebeam!

[Saturo]

The Sexy Steelix, noticing that Venin had noticed him, slithered over in a sexy way, showing off his sexy features. "Hey, baby.", he said in a sexy voice.

((Everything is sexy about this guy! :D))
