Vengeance of the Soultakers

[Azunara]

Ivika gave a slight grin, "I noticed that. I've been asked plenty of times what I was." She thought about the second part of the question, "Yeah. Definitely been...exciting, I suppose."

[Moonlost]

((Not too much has happened realy Kira. The Dawn were attacked by the Dusk briefly. As this was happening, Deppy was attacked by an Absol, who claimed to be working for some sort of group intent on wiping out pokemon who were either evolved by the Dusk, or created by Dr. Zhyne. Also, while this was happening Baaz snuck off unseen and ran off, seeking these artifacts himself rather than rish anyone else. Or so he thinks. Once the Dusk left, they took the Absol with them for whatever reason.
In the meantime, Psychosis is waiting for Ghost to catch up, before setting off to seek for the Obsidian Mirror, which he believes to be located off shore somewhere.))

[Kira]

(( *Stares at the fact that there's an Absol...and it's NOT HER'S!*.....*Tries very hard to not make another one and bring it in >.<* ))

Arkon blinked as he came out of the almost nap that he seemed to be taking as he stood. He shook his head, then looked around and whined. His snout lifted to the air and he sniffed for a moment before looking off and then whimpering before he sighed. He stood up and padded out the door, his tail flicking before he ran off.

Aeris sighed as she looked at the small pile of sticks and branches she had managed to collect. She let out a small breath of fire and lit them up before she turned and sat her back toward it, trying to get her wings to defrost. Stupid cold.

[Moonlost]

((Oh, also forgot to mention everyone else is also heading off after Baaz. Sorry >.> ))

Venin's head joted up as he hears Arkon. The vaporeon swings around and pads towards Arkon, calling out as she nears.
"You were with Baaz right? We're off to see what seems to have gotten in the big lug's head. Care to join?"

[Azunara]

Solara growled at the absol, "Bait shouldn't be so disobedient. Otherwise, your death will be slower than you'd like." She lashed her tail, glaring at it darkly.

Ivika pricked her ears as she heard Arkon, and saw Venin turn around. She paused, tilting her head. Another weird pokemon...Another of those hybrid things?

[Kira]

Arkon nodded as he slowed down near Venin and the others, his tail still flicking. "I will." He was more than a little worried about the Arcanine, but he wouldn't admit that just yet.

[rubybeam]

"Exacatly the reason why your considered a mutant in by books" the absol snapped back at solara

[Lupis]

Buzzard grinned darkly at the Absol. "Do you really think we fear your little master? We championed the Dusk. We fear nothing now." He turned to Solara and nodded. "That could work. There'll be a few flames to avoid, but you're fast. Besides, I can just swoop down and lift you over a few obstacles. Ready to go? My wings need the exercise!"

[Moonlost]

Baaz jumped up to a ledge somewhere near the top of the mountain, breathing heavily. The climb upwards had been hard work; mosly hopping from ledge to ledge, but he occasionally had to move through the ruins themselves, running through winding staircases and jumping past widening gaps into a deep abyss below. The sensation deep in his gut was pulling him forward even stronger now. He had to be close.
His large paws padded forward slowly now, as his eyes scanned the walls around. Gone were the familiar Unown glyphs, replaced with something much more complicated and alien to him. Darkness eventually enveloped him, one he scared away by igniting his body with a rippling fire. Deeper he descended into the mountain-built ruin, that feeling getting more intense with every step.

Venin nodded back to Arkon before running ahead to make sure the younger ones were doing okay.

Asher blinked, unsure of how to console his friend.
"Maybe he had a chance of mind? I dunno." He said, eventually giving up. "You can get the answer from him when we're done!" He grinned, only to almost crash into a rock in front of him. "Gah!"

[Lupis]

Lark blinked as Asher crashed into a rock, then started cackling to herself, hiding it under a paw. "The epitome of grace and elegance!" She sobered slightly to respond to his first statements, but she was considerably more cheered up now that she could laugh at someone. "I guess so. He's going to have some questions to answer." She tried her best to look threatening, although being a puffy young Eevsol didn't help in any way.

[rubybeam]

"Who said he was my master" the absol snarled back at buzzard its ghostly purple eyes flashed "We only serve one master, and thats arceus!"

[Lupis]

"Mm, yes, I suppose so. But then again, he allowed us to be created without simply killing us. So who's to say he hates us?" Buzzard asked calmly. He shifted his wings again, tail slowly swishing over the ground.

[rubybeam]

"He loves all his creation, including ones that turned into mutant but, seeing how you turned into a mutant not created by him you need to be put to rest to free you of this curse" the absols stared hard at buzzard "Besides things stronger than the actual gods shouldn't be allowed to exsit"

[Lupis]

"I suppose that you would see it as a curse, yes. It's not, really. Why should I hate what I received as a gift? Taking on new evolutions was a right of passage. A show of strength. Now it's like a medal, to show what I've gone through. And besides, I doubt I'm more powerful than a god. I'm afraid our Scientist friend died before I could achieve that." Buzzard responded. He always enjoyed debating.

[Moonlost]

Asher stuck his tongue out at Lark, before looking up at the rock.
"I swear I didn't see it!" He said as he got up onto his feet and sniffed at it. "Must be some sort of invisible smacking rock!"

[Lupis]

Lark was only further thrown into giggles by that. She tried to respond and stopped, if only because she was laughing too much, trying and failing to hide it behind a paw. "Invisible... smacking rock?"

[Saturo]

Darkrai moved up to the others. ''No, little Absol. They're not gods. I am.'', he dsaid, turning to Solara. ''Care to let me have some fun with him with Nightmare?''

[Azunara]

Solara shrugged, "Go for it. We need him alive so his allies can come, but beyond that, go for it." She looked at the absol darkly, tail lashing. No hurt the Dusk, and got away with it. She nodded at Buzzard, ready to run, grinning.

Ivika pricked her ears, listening to the giggles and padded ahead to join them, tilting her head.

[Saturo]

'Just mostly alive, right? Mental illness is okay, right?'', Darkrai asked, blasting the Absol with a Dark Void.

[rubybeam]

The absol snarled at darkrai before it was hit by the dark void again, falling into a deep slumber it struggled trying to wake up, but of course did not succeed
