Vengeance of the Soultakers

[Azunara]

The spirit gave a sharp, keening cry. Even in its trapped state between life and death, isolated, its cry could easily be heard by the living. No! It took a form, no longer its old self, but another one, and tried to shove through the barrier of life. It had to fix it. Fix everything. Everything was all wrong, and it would not rest until it was all right again. With a sharp, determined cry, it pushed through, and everything went dark for it.

Kerym was distracted, hunting for her host. It was easy to push inside and wrestle the already near mentally unstable umbreon. She caught a lot of cursing and fury as she took over, but the umbreon's lip twitched into a smile as Kerym arranged them. Easy.

It was to her satisfaction when she found another power, hidden deep. Something unusual. She made no mistake in choosing this host -Ghost Girl?- and was pleased. When she heard Dextra, she quickly moved towards the other Soultakers. I have a necklace as well, with a black stone cut in the shape of an eagle.

A spirit entered Giratina's realm. Shifting, it looked around, desperate to find a particular face. Where was she? He had to find her!
A ghost approached, appearing to be a Mismagius. She tilted her head at the dragon. She had never seen anyone like that before...
"Who are you searching for?" she asked, moving closer. The dragon looked down at her, looking worried.
"Solara. Can you take me to Solara?"
The Mismagius paused, searching through the spirits in the realm. There were several Solaras, but none that had died recently. The most recent had died a hundred years ago. That was worrying.
"Are you sure she died?" she asked carefully. The dragon's eyes dulled and he nodded.
"Yes. I'm sure. Why? Is something wrong?"
"Well..." she started, wondering how to word what she wanted to say. "I... believe that something has gotten complicated. The Solara you're looking for hasn't arrived."
"WHAT?!" Buzzard's spirit roared, eyes flaring. His worry overflowed, turning into anger. "That's impossible! What happened?! Is she trapped?"
"It's possible that her spirit was trapped in the living realm, yesss.." the Mismagius murmured, backing off. Buzzard's eyes were alight and he turned away, nervous. His sister wasn't here? How was she gone? He had to find her. He had to bring her here. It was his job as her brother!

[Azunara]

It was quiet again.

And, she didn't think it possible, but everything hurt. That didn't make sense. She had died. She was dead. She knew that. How, she couldn't remember. She couldn't remember much of anything, except a few names. Buzzard. Ghost Girl. Soundwave. The ghastly tried to recollect her essences, trying to keep together. It all hurt, and was confusing. Chaos was in the area, she saw several pokemon, but she didn't know who they were, and some instinct deep down told her to be careful, but she couldn't decide why.

She looked at the pile of ashes and bones nearby. There was a pair of glinting objects, and the ghastly carefully pulled out two tags. One was a number familiar, but the other one, D29, was even more familiar. Something normal. She peered at it, as if it would reveal anything about her past, things she couldn't remember.

Nothing. Just those names. Buzzard. Ghost Girl. Soundwave. And a purpose. She had to do something. They were people she had known, but she just couldn't piece it all together. She gave a soft cry, confused. All was so confusing, and it hurt, too. Something -happened-, something huge and drastic, and she couldn't figure out what.

Still, the two tags were a friendly, reassuring thing. She gave a soft purring hum of pleasure. Something she knew was nice. Nothing strange. She looked at the other pokemon carefully, warily, as well as some strange creature that was with them. It looked like an arcanine, but not an arcanine. Her head hurt thinking about it.

So she pondered those names. None of them were hers. She needed one. She closed her eyes, deep in thought. A small voice in her head suggested one, and the ghost spoke her first word. "Aralos." She said softly. "Aralos. I'm Aralos." She repeated, taking the name as her own. "I'm Aralos, and I need to find Buzzard, Ghost Girl, and Soundwave." Saying this was good- it gave her direction.

[rubybeam]

((SO THAT IS WHO ARALOS IS! yess I finally understand, no more spoiler for me!))

[Saturo]

((Read it backwards... It's been rather obvious. ^^))

[Azunara]

((*grins.* Yup. That's Aralos for you. If you're perceptive, Aralos is Solara backwards, xD

Ah, Sat has me beat. But yeah, I'm surprised how many didn't catch the name.))

[rubybeam]

Deppy stared at the ashes and bones, the volcano had died, being respective the icey tiger closed her eyes looking down at the corpses "May Kaurie, mizukurie, suchikurie and sorakurie guide you to the heavens.."

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Waugh. Sorry for not posting anything today. I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things XD

Also, in response to Buzzard's.. End.. That was a fairly epic way to go out. ... .. Oh hah hah, go out. As in a fire. ... ... Okay, yeah, I'm shutting up now.))

Phantom groaned, finally getting up. "Stupid dragon..." He grumbled, casting a glance over at what remained of the Charrosaur. "Well, at least we don't have to deal with that anymore..." He added as he walked over to stand beside Venin.

[Azunara]

There was something in the way that...thing by the blue thing, (Aralos had yet to put names to species.) referred to the ashes she was by, upset. She looked at the icy tiger by the ashes, and recoiled, quietly giving a soft, if curious, hiss. Was it hurting the ashes? No? It muttered something the ghastly didn't understand, and she gave a sound of confusion.

[Lupis]

((Glad you liked it. ^.^ And hah, hah, "go out"... Heh.))

Buzzard's spirit was suddenly creating a bit of a show. It refused the world it was in, nervous and pacing, trying to imagine some way out. He had to find Solara. Was she trapped down there? He couldn't stand the thought of it.

Giratina's realm wasn't long going to welcome the spirit...

[rubybeam]

Yuki soon reappered coming back from his relm "I'm sorry! the thing was probably after me!, are you all hurt? i'm sorry I just didn't want to die yet!" he whined manging to come back from behind aralos He yelped at the sight of the ghost running behind ivika for protection

[Azunara]

Aralos hovered back a few paces, watching the others carefully. Ivika blinked at Yuki, then up at the ghost, head tilted. "He's dead, Yuki." She said quietly, glancing back down at the ashes, trying to figure out what the ghost was doing here. It didn't seem aggressive...just lost.

[rubybeam]

Yuki glanced over at the ghost, he meet a ghost pokemon once, it looked like a melting served head with cursed wish slips acting as a tail, also with a trapped spirit in a laturn in its mouth with a few fireballs it called itself, "resouli", this one didn't seem as scary though "Your not going to hurt me are you?" he asked, Deppy gasped at the spirit "OHMYGOSHITHINKICURSEDITTHEELEMENTALSPIRITSDIDN'TBRINGITTOTHEEVERLASTINGFOREST!"

[Azunara]

Aralos whined. Their shouting hurt her head. More than it was, already, anyways. "No, no, no, no. I'm not going to hurt anyone. I think. Maybe. I don't want too. I just wanted to find people." She hovered closer to the ashes, looking somewhat miserable.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Phantom watched the little Gastly for a few moments, tilting his head slightly. "Huh. A Gastly. Wonder where the hell that thing came from."

[rubybeam]

Yuki glanced at the ghost "If your not going to hurt me then" he was slient for a moment "Friends?" the orange cat-fox smiled " I don't have many, you don't seem to have much either"

[Azunara]

Aralos blinked, looking totally stunned. "Friends?" She asked, seeming baffled by the thought. "Uhm...I guess. If you're willing to help me find some people." She said, carefully.

[rubybeam]

"Okay!" yuki stated cheerfully "I don't know if i'm good at finding people much but i'll help!"

[Azunara]

Aralos brightened a bit, looking a bit happier. "I'm Aralos!" She said. She was feeling a bit better. Still sad, and in pain, and confused...but now she had a friend. It was a start.

[rubybeam]

"I'm yuki!" the cat-fox purred excited
