Rise of the Shadows!

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys nodded, then called out, "Ciro! Your mother and I are heading out....keep an eye on your sister..."

He lifted Delora and teleported to Chomp and Co.

((So, uh, any chance on that recap? Don't need to know everything, just stuff that could influence my few characters. XD ))
Gamin sat up and growled. The Dawn scent was subly stronger. Were they on the move? He moved over to Venin and nudged her awake with his snout.
"Urg. Did you have to wake me?" She said with a yawn.
"I think the dawn are moving." The Mightyena responded, head turned to face the cave. Venin got up, stretching out as she did so.
"Nnnnnnrrrr... Well, if they are, it'll make for some fun I suppose." She shook herself, then started casually padding towards the dawn cave, in no real hurry to get there. Gamin followed along with a grunt. He didn't say it, but he was itching for a fight.

[Azunara]

((Not sure if you ever got your summary, Moon, but here:

Right. So. Shortly after Insins's arrival, there is rather a lull in Dawn forces. The Dusk pick up pace and drag the Dawn and Sunrise for a fight. Cro is linked to one of the Dusk via Destiny Bond. Delora kills a kid on accident to protect her own. Solara and everyone else there is fighting. Speck however intervenes before Cro can get further hurt, and ends up sacrificing herself, helping the Dusk, Tut, kill himself. Both die together. The Sunrise and Dawn, thanks to Mewtwo, call the battle to a halt and they return to their respective bases.

Daray takes Speck to the other side, and Solara and Soundwave fall in love and get together. A plan has been lashed together to kidnap Hands. Rust had hatched, and Zap and Theia have feelings for each other. Deoxys and Ciro get into a large fight, ending with Ciro running and getting mangled by Demonica.

Ciro is rescued, while Sosa and Summer have been chatting. Summer flees from Sosa at some point, attacked by Demonica, who hesitates, unable to kill Summer. Meanwhile, most of the kids have been practicing, and Kiren and Ikis are sent to capture them.

This happens, and Ikis has Rust while Kiren has Cro and Julius. As it stands, Cro and Julius are more or less kept constantly asleep, so they can't escape. A rescue mission is occurring as we speak.))

Solara blinked at Demonica's sudden arrival, bristling, ready for a fight.

---

Cro whined, drifting in and out of awareness. He was so tired, and he still hurt a lot. He'd wake up to catch flashes of darkness, the Dusk, before the humming would send him back to sleep. When he was awake, he was aware of being really scared. This had happened before, something like this. And this time it didn't look like he'd be saved.

---

Kiren would cycle the Sleep-Guards, as she called them, and stood by her captives continually, ready to run.

[Magnakilro]

Chomp and Soundwave and Ironskull were ready to destroy Demonica.

[Kira]

Kyuu hissed at Demonica, her tail snapping and nearly cracking the ground.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys appeared in the group. He spotted Demonica, and immediately got ready to fight.

[Azunara]

Solara gave a soft hiss, claws gouging the ground from where she stood next to Soundwave. "What do you want? Haven't you caused enough trouble?" She spat, tail lashing,

[Magnakilro]

"I found the umbreon's baby....I know who has it...." Demonica replied

[Azunara]

Solara replied harshly, "Since when did you care? Last time I checked, you wanted to kill all of us. After all, you and your buddies nearly managed to finish me off."

[Magnakilro]

"Fine then don't accept my help....just don't expect to see the baby alive..." Demonica replied as she teleported away. Oddly enough, she didn't cackle.

[Kira]

Kyuu frowned and flicked her tail gently. Something seemed very Odd about all that.
Delora glanced at the group before she looked ahead. "How are we going to do this?"

[Magnakilro]

Chomp sighed, "If we can get rid of those guards that keep putting the kids to sleep...Cro can time warp them to safety....if that fails...."

"I can teleport in, grab them, and get out quickly..." Deoxys finished.

[Azunara]

Solara flicked her tail, growling quietly and muttering under her breath, "Good riddance." She then raised her head. "We'll have to do it carefully. We're outnumbered, and they probably won't be on the fringe. They'll be in the heart of the Dusk. The middle. Because why go through all that effort to capture them to leave them so easily able to retrieve?"

[Magnakilro]

"The good thing is....I can see them from here....bad thing is....Sol's right..." Chomp said.

He began to think up a plan, "We need a distraction...."

[Kira]

Kyuu nodded and shifted a bit to try and get a better view. "This is going to be such a pain in the ass..."
Delora snorted as she shook her head. "Nah, it'll be fun, that's all."
Kyuu perked an ear toward Chomp before she looked at him. "Distraction? That's easy enough."

[Magnakilro]

Chomp nodded, "We need a good enough distraction to clear a path to the kids...."

[Azunara]

"I can help as well. Just tell me what to do." Solara added, "My fur is dark enough that I could slip in among the Dusk for a bit before I get recognized."

[Kira]

Kyuu gave Solara a little grin. "Lucky. I can pass for Ikis for a little bit and get in myself..once I make my fur dark again."
Delora simply shrugged. "I can be bait.."

[rubybeam]

Lily whined slipping back into concious a littlebit "I'm..sorry I...couldn't..rescue..them" the little pup was whining a little ashmed that she had gotten taken out in one attack

[Moonlost]

"They're right up ahead." Gamin said softly, trying to keep the growl out of his voice. The two hounds approached Chomp's group with their bellies on the ground. "Seem to be talkin'... Can't quite make it out yet though."
"Yeah, I hear them too." Venin said. She licked her teeth, musing about what they should do. From the sound of it, there were quite a number of them there. And they were but two. Seventeen would have gone charging in, btu she was no Seventeen. "See if we can get closer, see what they're up to and exactly how many there are. If we can, kill them. If not, we can outrrun them and come back with the full force of the Dusk."
Gamin nodded and the two stalked forward.
