Rise of the Shadows!

[Azunara]

Speck nodded. "Right. Dialga is safe, so we won't lose him. The Dusk nor Darkrai can get to him. And I'll take care of Darkrai. Uhm...Unknown...Thanks for the help, go rest or something. I'll be fine. And besides, me? Even Infected, I'd be useless."

((Oh, Speck. How you underestimate yourself...))

[Lupis]

Scarab's eyes lit up as they fell on Seventeen. Perhaps...

He jumped lightly down from the branch and approached with carefully placed steps, staring intently at her. Hands, perched on his shoulder, matched his gaze.

"Another new faccce?" he rasped, beginning to circle her, "Not another traitor, I pressssume?"

The Dusk around them quieted, most of them turning to watch with hungry eyes. Was this new thing like the last one? Maybe they could fight it...

[Saturo]

The Unown teleported away just before the attack hit the area they had been in.
"Hmm... I remember you! You're that stupid little ghost... Speck...? FACE YOUR NIGHTMARES!", Darkrai yelled, and launched a quick volley of Dark Voids at the Haunter.

[Azunara]

Speck yelped, fading as the attacks flew towards her. She hesitantly appeared, saying, "Darkrai! You're being controlled! You do remember me! What about the times when you helped me? Quite a few times, those Psuedo-Legendaries would've had me if you hadn't helped. You were a hero, Darkrai! A hero!" She fired her own attack back. The chances of it working were little, but it was better than nothing.

Speck used Mimic!
Speck used Dark Void!

((Why NO, of COURSE I'm not thinking DK speeches....))

[Moonlost]

((Urg, this would be so much easier if Seventeen could talk XD ))

Seventeen grinned a feral smile, making sure her long canines were easily seen by the one-who would be alpha. She flicked back her head, exposing the tight red collar around her neck, the one fastened around her by the humans when they were still alive, before she was strong. A small silver tag hung from it, engraved with number 17. She had her pedigree as one of the first dusk and was damned proud of the fact.

She began to circle, head and tail held high, imposing on the would-be-alpha's dominence. Let him stike her down and prove his place, or fall to her fangs as unworthy.

[Kira]

Ikis looked up at the slight commotion, wincing as Terra dug his claws into his tail. He pulled the Sandshrew up, giving him an irritated look as he crawled ontop of his tail. He turned his gaze back to Scarab and Seventeen, tail flicking again, a steady little giggle coming from Terra as he was moved.

[rubybeam]

Scar watched nereby staying a strong distance away from sparky, his eye's yurned to the other pokemon wondering if he should join them....

[Saturo]

"DIE!", Darkrai said, as he formed a small reflective shield around his hand as he knocked the dark Void back at Speck.
Darkrai used Mirror Coat! ((Which he learnt from Deoxys a few years back. :P ))

[Azunara]

((*looks at her chars. Three normal, no evil Dusk. Which means, in order to feel less guilty...*))

Speck yelped, fading again to prevent herself from falling asleep. She knew how anyone who faced Darkrai felt. The hopelessness against a Legendary that would send you to sleep, then plummet you into your nightmares.

"Darkrai! You can't give into them!"

[Lupis]

Odd, he thought, that the creature didn't speak to him...
"Ahhh... A true Dusssk." He gestured once scythe towards the Dusk around them. "Look around you, Ssseventeen. Thessse are our kin." He didn't look away from her. "Without a leader, they ssscatter, chaotic and weak. They needed a voiccce, to make them a forccce to be feared. A weapon."

He wouldn't attack, not yet. He wanted to distract her.

[Saturo]

"WHO CARES!? DIE!"
He rushed up to the ghost, who he could see being half ghost himself, and then licked her across the face.

[Azunara]

Speck was unable to react fast enough, and was licked across the face. She shrieked, and then blinked. Wait. It didn't cause much harm. She hadn't been scratched, clawed, or bitten. She was safe for now. Slobbery, disgusted, and a bit irritable, but safe.

"That was uncalled for, Darkai!" She snapped back, and then lashed with her own attack, firing an orb of darkness at the legendary.

[rubybeam]

Scar walked up to delora and the other's she was a shiny he could easly tell, he was curious in the people he wanted to travel with

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Sorry for not posting ANYTHING today, it's just.. Well, I imagine Ghost's already fallen asleep (Then again, who can blame her? First getting attacked by a Rhyperior, then finding Chomp and the gang, then.. Well, a lot has happened in pretty much one day for her XD) aaaaand I can't do much with Rikki since.. She's probably asleep at the moment too. .... First I have problems with having too many characters, now I'm having problems with having NOT ENOUGH CHARACTERS! ARGH!!! ... Also.. Where the heck is Magna? XD))

[Kira]

Delora sniffed once and turned her attention to Scar, an eyebrow raised slightly. "Is there something I can...hey wait a second..you're one of the ones that attacked us before. What do you want kid?"

Ikis looked at Terra, then at Scarab..then Terra..then Scarab. His tail twitched again, a little smile coming to his face.

[Saturo]

Darkrai took the blast and got knocked back a bit. He then formed a Dark Void around himself, and charged at Speck.

[rubybeam]

"I'm not a kid.." it was true he had attacked for his own survival..he couldn't join them now even though food was scarce he and the tohers would still just defend for themselves

[Azunara]

Speck tried to dive out of the way. Fading would be useless, she had forgotten he had died and was part ghost as well.

"Come on Darkrai...Please stop trying to hurt me." She squeaked, flipping around and firing another orb of shadow, crashing into the ground. The impact knocked the wind out of her, and she hovered upright slowly.

Speck used Shadow Ball!

[Moonlost]

This one made sense. A pack was always stronger when working as a group, discordance lead to prey escaping. But that was no secret, he was just the first one to think of it, the first one to take control. Still, getting the voices to sing somewhat in unison was an impressive task, to be sure. Was he strong enough to keep them singing the same song though? That was what she needed to find out.

Her savage grin disappeared from her face, replaced with an intense stare. She bristled her fur, tensed her claws and continued to circle.

[Kira]

Delora rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say tiny." She shifted to face him a bit more. "What are you doing here anyway? You attacked the landshark and then bolted."
