Vengeance of the Soultakers

[BrickWall]

I'm sorry.

Still weak.

The Soultakers weapons may still exist. Find them, you may be able to use them to fight back. But you musn't let the Soultakers find them. Already I can feel them spreading their influence, making connections. Look for their foci! Images of gems and jewelery that glow of their own light, are etched with golden or silver runes fill Baaz's mind.

These are what the Soultakers foci looked like. They do come in different forms but these ones are the most likely to have survived this long! Another Image filles Baaz mind. A two handed sword. Black of blade and gold of hilt. Runes etched along it's length, filled with obsidion. It's very image strikes fear and power into Baaz's mind.
I dread to send you after this. But you should look for this blade. It belonged to the right hand of the God-King. It's may be the only weapon capible of destroying the mirror that is the entrance to the Soultakers realm Dextra paused. Could his sword break the mirror. No, no it couldn't. The mirror was crafted by the God-King himself.

I must rest now. If you need me call my name and if I have the strength I will answer you. Soren placed a mental link within Baaz's mind. Making sure that only he could make use of it.

((Didn't know if you got my last post or not so i'll repaste it, sorry if you did))

"But i'm different I don't think they will" Yuki frowned painful memories reaching him

((Feel free to do anything to get the little bugger there))

------------------

Deppy (if your wondering about the strange name I ran out of names in another rp once, so the characters name ended up being deppy, later on though that only added up to the comic relief, the rp died down and I just can't abadon the character so I remade it here) was still walking throughly confused by now when she manged to bump into chomp jaws and iron, she reconised iron as a rampardos but chomp looked more like a mutated rampardos wailord hybrid thing and jaws rather... a deformed mutated recanith hybrid she stood in thier path looking at them curiously "Sex? I don't know what you mean mind explaining mutated rampardos wailord hybrid thing?"

[Magnakilro]

Spear tilted his head, "You just...."

[Azunara]

Silence, for so long. And it had been disturbed. Now was a chance to prove herself. She just needed a host, a weak mind...

Kerym focused her strength and magic, carefully looking for a weak-minded pokemon. She paused, rippling past a large group of pokemon, sensing others of her own already influencing. She hovered, stopping at one of them. A dark-furred fox like one.

The emotions coming off of it were powerful. A strong wanting of something. A name, a name...She needed a name...They all focused back on one single name of another: Solara. Kerym grinned. Something had happened between this one and whoever this Solara was. Easy enough to exploit.

"Hello? Can you hear me? I need your help, please!" Kerym tried to leach from the memories, the emotions of the umbreon, altering her thoughts to try and mimic what she had haphazardly learned about "Solara".

Wistala shrugged. "I'm different. You don't see a lot of shinies, after all. But they accept me..."

---

Solara looked over the new Dusk as they scattered, then at Buzzard. "Suppose we should look as well. Unfortunately, I've got nothing. We could scour this region first though, I guess.

[Moonlost]

"I swear, I shall stop them, whatever it takes." Baaz said, stading tall. A quest to save the world once more... Against the soultakers of all things! He would need help though. He turned to look behind him, to Lilith's house. He.... he didn't want to drag her into this. Not again. She deserved better than another War. Finding a large piece of bark, he placed his paw upon it, sending just enough heat to burn an impression into the bark. Then, using the tip of a claw, he used the same method to scratch a message underneath

My love, I shall return to you.

The Arcanine picked the bark up with his teeth, placing it at the front door, before dashing off to Chomp's house. His paws were spread wide to keep himself atop the snowdrift, his speed keeping himself from melting in. The sooner he reached them, the better.

[rubybeam]

Yuki whined " No they say stuff like 'its exacatly like her!' and 'shes back quick kill her!' all the reactions are attacking out of fear or anger it seems I don't think anyone else will trust me execept you.."

[BrickWall]

Dextra left Baaz and began searching for other the Hand.

Sinistra. He said when he finally found her.
I have found some willing fools to hunt down our lost artifacts and they seem to have some sort of enmity with these Dusk. I'm sure you can make use of that to help 'motivate' both sides. This so called Dawn army know me by Soren. I'm sure you can use this in some way.

[Azunara]

Wistala blinked, tilting her head, "Who's this 'her'?"

[rubybeam]

"I don't know.." Yukis eyes grew solemn "I don't want to know no one understands me because of her"

[Senna-Umbreon]

"Let's hope this'll end quickly enough.. We don't need another war. Especially one like the last one." Phantom said. "And.. Especially not now that we have Asher to worry about..." He added, wrapping a tail around his son.

((Hey look, for once I've gone something like.. 20 posts with no sign of Ghost! It's a stinkin' miracle! ... That's about to end. XD))

-------

Meanwhile, over at the farmhouse.. An Umbreon paced back and forth, her tail lashing restlessly. "Dammit dammit dammit..." She growled to herself.

"... Mom..?"

Ghost blinked, stopping. She glanced backwards, her annoyed expression fading as she saw the grey and blue fox-like Pokemon standing nearby. "Rust..." She said, turning and padding over to her son.

"Mom.. Are you okay...? I don't like seeing you like this...." The young Rampardeon said quietly, quickly moving over to his mother and pressing up against her. He whimpered, worried.

Ghost sighed, wrapping her tail around Rust. She closed her eyes, mentally growling in frustration. Earlier, she had - once again - gotten upset and yelled at her family.. Then stormed off, only to end up screeching at herself for being so stupid. "I'll... Be fine... Don't worry about me..." She said eventually.

Suddenly, she let out a small gasp and went rigid, causing Rust to whimper. "Mommy?" He said, almost starting to panic. "I-I'm fine... I just need some time.. Alone. Okay?" The Umbreon said.

Rust nodded hesitantly, then stepped away from his mother, turned and padded out of the room.

Once she was sure she was alone, Ghost tentitively replied to the mental message, confused. "Wh-wha..?"

((Yeaaaah. It's kinda official.. Ghost has serious mental/attitude/emotional problems. Poor thing D:))

------

Millie giggled again, nodding. "Yup! I'm a Zorua! I can create illusions to disguise myself! Hee~"

[Moonlost]

((Funny how Phantom has turned into the more stable of your two Eeveelutions. >.> ))

"What's up dad?" Asher asked, looking up. "Are you worried about seein' Auntie Ghost again? I swear, this time I'll let Rust win, she won't get sulky then!"

Venin snorted back a laugh, ruffling up her son's mane with her forepaw.

[Azunara]

((*grins evilly.* And I'm about to make things worse....Tomorrow. Azu needs sleep if she wants to function properly.))

Good. She had the umbreon's attention. Now she just had to play her cards right...

"Help me! Please! I didn't deserve this! They locked me away! I'm trapped, it's all I can do to reach you. Please, Ghost!" Kerym smirked. This would be easy enough. A few lies, pretending to be someone else and the world was practically yours. "The humans...they thought I would destroy them. Because of the War. They...trapped me in this strange thing. A mirror. I can't get out, I need your help, Ghost. Please..." She dropped the fake Sol's voice off, pausing. Now she just had to let the lies take hold.

---

Wistala scowled, "That's not fair. Hurting you for something you didn't even do!"

[BrickWall]

((Heh heh heh. I think thats kinda the point playing evil manipulative bastards. Although I am getting a mental image of all the Soultakers in a race to see who can screw everything up the most for the good guys. G'night Azu))

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Yuuup. To be honest.. If Ghost hadn't un-intentionally ruined Phantom's life... He probably would have acted a lot like he's acting now. XD

Aaaaaaaaaand Ghost shall go off the deep end now. *Cackles*))

Ghost's eyes widened, panic and rage seeping through her. "Dammit! Damn those humans! Don't worry Sol, I'll save you.. I swear... Just hang in there.. I promise I'll find and save you.. Even if it's the last thing I do." She replied, claws digging into the floor. Letting out a snarl, she suddenly leapt foward, fading, and raced through the house and out the door. She didn't even stop to tell anyone where she was going. Not that they'd notice that she was gone until much later. Sol needed her help. And she was going to help, dammit! Nothing the humans could do would stop her from saving her friend. Nothing.

"Hardly." Phantom replied, grinning slightly. "It's a long story. One that we'll tell you about. But not now."

[Moonlost]

"We had best get going." Venin said, stretching her legs. "It won't take long for Buzzard to get started on his little crusade."
The Vaporeon bent down, picking Asher up by the scruff of his neck and placing him on the back of Phantom's wide shoulders. "Hold on tight Asher, Dad's going to be goign as fast as he can!"

The Eevee giggled happily, he loved riding on his dad's back. He was able to go waaaay fast! He gripped on tight with his paws, grabbing a little bit of mane with his teeth.

Vethor would have tapped his chin if he had one, trying to figure out how to get these guys involved. He needed something.... He move up to the Feraligatr, genty probing the pokemon's mind, looking for something useful.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Phantom grinned, flicking a tail up to gently poke Asher. "You ready little guy?" He asked, chuckling.

[Moonlost]

"When you are dad!" Asher called back, grinning widely.

[Senna-Umbreon]

"Right. Then.. Let's go!" Phantom said, leaping fowards.

[Moonlost]

Baaz stopped, sniffing. He recognised the scent of Arkon and Lark up ahead. THat seemed like a good place to stay, and Arkon could help back up his claims he supposed. He started to run again, this time folloing the deep footprints left by the Espenine.

~

Venin ran beside Phantom, keeping up with him.
On his back, Asher howled in delight at the speed. He loved these runs! And dad wasn't even going fast yet. He grinned, wondering if Phantom would decide to speed up; do his nitro boost attack or whatever it was called.

((Asher is so adorable to play, I almost feel like I'm eating a bag of candy when I type something up for him. XD
Edit: fixed up some pretty inexcusable typos. :S Sorry ))

[Saturo]

''Just one question...''
''Hmm?''
''Can we kidnap someone!? Please!''
''Huh? Sure, I guess. I'll need a body.''
''Yay!'', Darkrai replied happily, unfading next to Solara.

''Hello'', he started. ''I was spying on you, and couldn't help but overhear... You're looking for the same mirror that I am. Care to search with me? It'll be fun.''
