Rise of the Shadows!

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave smiled at Solara. He started to hear crying. He looked at Arachne, "What's wrong with her I wonder..."

[Kira]

Sosa blinked as water hit him. He glanced over at her and grinned, waiting for a moment before he used his paw to flick water at her.

Theia frowned and shifted a little bit. "I..could try I guess..."

Kyuu moved over to Arachne and put her tail around her. "It's alright Arachne..."

[Azunara]

Solara pricked her ears, "I'll go find out," She replied, padding over to Arachne and Kyuu. "What's wrong?"

[Kamalia]

"Hey, I'm not very good at it either!" Julius called out cheerfully to Theia before returning to staring at the tree. He didn't want to embarrass himself again... especially not with a girl watching! He sighed and licked his lips nervously before bunching his paw into a fist. He drew his arm back, faltered, then drew it back again. He sucked in a breath, braced himself, squeezed his eyes shut, then punched the tree as hard as he could.
Julius used Focus Punch!

[Magnakilro]

Zap smiled as the tree crashed to the ground, "YOU DID IT!"

He looked at Theia, "Just punch it like Julius did!"

----

Arachne looked at Solara, "I'm infected....the voices...they want me to kill my baby....my sweet innocent little baby....it was scary...."

She tightened her hug on Electro, not enough to disturb the baby. She cried harder.

[Kira]

Theia frowned and looked at her arm. She focused and managed to wrap the tendrils into a hand. A little flex and she looked at the tree, taking a breath and making her hand a fist. She took a few more deep breaths before taking a short one and punching at the tree.
Theia used Focus Punch!

[Azunara]

Solara flicked her tail, looking at her paws. "Yeah. The Voices are pretty nasty. They told me that I was worthless. That I would only end up hurting my friends. But...They can be beaten. I think Daray can cure the Infected, as can Darkrai. If it gets bad enough, maybe ask one of them to help you?"

[Lupis]

Summer tried to act like she didn't notice the splash, then scooped up a pawfull of water and tossed it at Sosa.

[Kamalia]

Julius stared at the fallen tree, his jaw hanging open. "I did that?" He shook his paw a few times, still staring dumbfounded at the tree. He looked over to Theia and monitored the damage she dealt. "Hey, that's good!"

[Magnakilro]

Zap ran up and moved her body and arms, "Here, stand like this!" he positioned her in a different stance. "Hold your fist here.." he positioned her fist, "Now focus all your inner strength into it and let'er rip!"

----

Arachne sighed, "I guess I could...."

[Kira]

Sosa blinked the water from his face and grinned, backing up before he lept into the water, splashing Summer in the process.

Kyuu nodded. "You're still newly infected, it should be easier to get rid of it."

Theia whined before she tried again, yelping as her hand disappearred mid-punch, stubbing her tendrils against the tree instead. "OW!"

[Magnakilro]

"OH MY GOD!" Zap ran up to Theia, "Are you ok? I'm sorry!"

[Lupis]

"ACkpththh!" Summer sputtered, grinning, cannonballing into the water with a tremendous splash.

[Kira]

Sosa started to laugh as he stood up in the water, grinning at Summer when she came back up. "I believe I won that one!"

Theia whimpered and held her 'hand' against her chest, nodding as she sniffed. "M'alright..."

[Magnakilro]

Zap hugged her, "I'm sorry...." He took her injured hand and started to gently rub it.

[Lupis]

Summer laughed as well, climbing back to the shore and shaking out her pelt, sending water everywhere. "So sure, are you?" she asked teasingly.

[Kira]

Sosa nodded and jumped back to shore before he shook himself out. "Oh I am."

Theia blushed a bit, giving Zap a little smile. "Thank you..."

[Magnakilro]

"I didn't like seeing you hurt...." Zap replied.

----

Arachne ended up crying herself to sleep, Electro in her forelegs.

[Lupis]

Summer grinned. "Maybe you're right..." She suddenly spun, pouncing playfully on him, "But only maybe."

[Kira]

Sosa looked a bit started as he was knocked over. He was speechless for a moment, simply blinking a few times, a light flush on his cheeks.

Theia looked down, blushing still. "Sorry...I'll be fine!"


Ikis sighed once he managed to get far enough away from the main Dusk group. "Stealing Kids..bah, I thought it'd be something Fun."
