Rise of the Shadows!

[Moonlost]

There was a russle of leaves nearby Cro, then a stucky, black furred Arcanine burst fourth with a roar, flames dancing around his body.
Baaz wasn't quite sure what was happening. What he was sure of was that there were young uninfected fighting Dusk. It wouldn't be right to leave them. He roared at the Armalldo, blasting it with a wave of hot air.

Baaz used Heat Wave!

((I feel a little bad bringing Baaz back so soon, but I missed him. <3 ))

[Senna-Umbreon]

Rust squeaked sadly. He sat down, ears still drooping.

[Kira]

Theia let out a startled yelp as Cro took the hit for her, healing him immediatly.
Ciro backed up as the Arcanine came into view, his eyes large. "Mr. Arcanine! I Knew you'd come back!"
Ketsin tried to get his shield up again, but it didn't work too well.

[Azunara]

Cro yelped in surprise, both at Baaz's sudden arrival and the flames. He fell back a few paces, head tilted.

Solara was too restless to go to sleep, so she paced the cave, keeping watch. Zerak was curled up with Aurora, both of them asleep.

[Lupis]

((Away-from-RP for a few minutes while I finish up these notes and get something to eat.))

The elemental combination attacks were being charged up. Dark was ready to be fired - it was shot towards Cro, Baaz and the rest of the children. The attack was the same as last time, one shadowy skull that split into hundreds to attack the children.
Dark Dusk use Combination Dark Pulse!

The Armaldo roared in pain and fell back, staggering.

[Kamalia]

Julius grinned and playfully pushed the Cranivee over with his snout. "Hey, I'll play with you! Would that make you feel any better, little buddy?"

[Moonlost]

Baaz grinned at the small Dialga, before seeing the attack rushing at them. He jumped in the way, yowling in pain as the dark pulse slammed into his body. He shuddered, slumping down.

((Why do I beat my characters up so much?))

[Azunara]

Cro was exhausted by now, and he fell back, focusing only on trying to boost shields. He whined as Baaz was struck, wishing he wasn't so tired.

---

Solara finally decided to go right outside the cave entrance, in hearing range in case she was attacked. She figured it was unlikely the Dusk would make a move now, but nonetheless careful was good. Once outside of the cave, she relaxed slightly. Without having to watch her every step, she was rather pleased. She easily slipped into a fighting stance, lashing at a tree, practicing.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Rust squeaked happily, jumping up immediately, "Meep!!"

[rubybeam]

((bleehhh, I feel as if though my characters are just not intertwined enough yet, not really important sorry if that annoys you it's just I'm losing stuff to roleplay to, they really have much relationships with the other characters well none that are too deep that is.))

Victini sighed she was starting to lose hope with thunder and all she was really almost like a long lost sister to her....would she ever get to see the static zebra again?

[Kamalia]

Julius chuckled and picked up the Cranivee (He was surprisingly heavy for such a little guy). Well, being bigger and stronger meant he couldn't playfight and wrestle like he used to, but there were plenty of other fun things he could do with the kids now. Like this! He carefully tossed Rust up in the air before catching him.

[rubybeam]

Volt immdeatly scurried up to julius quite shocked on how much bigger he was "You...you evolved!" the little spider smiled happily but then frowned at a different though "Ah crud..not you could easly crush me.."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Rust let out a tiny squeak, but then blinked, realizing, hey, this was fun!! He started sqeaking happily.

--

Ghost sighed. ... And once again, she'd zoomed off and was now moping around. Dammit. And again.. It was thanks to a certain Espeon.. Sure, they weren't at odds as they had been before. But.. Things were still so awkward between them. And Ghost honestly hated it. She just wanted her best friend back...

[Kamalia]

Julius grinned and tossed the little Cranivee up again. He caught Rust a bit unsteadily this time and crashed on his back with an oof, little Rust on top of him. "Whoops." He laughed before looking over at Zap. He shrugged. "Yeah, I'm not too sure how I'll work everything out with playing now that I'm bigger... it'll take a bit to get used to."

[Azunara]

Beating up defenseless trees was very relaxing, Sol realized. She slashed into one, growling, "Take THIS, Voice. And this!" She yowled, leaping to strike another tree. "And take this, and this, and this." She said, smashing and cutting the trees. It was rather satisfying to hear them crunch and tear under her claws. She couldn't hurt the Voices, but at least she could hurt the trees.

Finally, she curled up at the base of one them, head on her paws. She couldn't even be around the kids without constantly worrying. One wrong move and the protective mothers would be tearing at her for hurting their kid on accident.

She rather liked living.

((Sometimes, Sol's thought process is amusing. Every now and then, she's a little less dark. xD))

[Senna-Umbreon]

Rust squeaked as he landed on top of Julius, "Meep!" He tilted his head, blinking.

--

Ghost blinked, hearing the sound of trees being destroyed. She tilted her head, leaping into another nearby tree and catching sight of a familiar Espeon nearby. Oh. That figures.

[rubybeam]

"I wish I could evolve.." volt muttered rather tired of being just a small ball of fuzz

[Moonlost]

"Don't worry about me little one," Baaz said as he rose to his feet. The pain hurt, but it was nothing like the wintery hell he was in before. "These cads will regret their actions this day!" He roared at the dusk, the flames on his body bursting into an aura surrounding him. He fired a cone of searing flame at them.

Baaz used Roar!
Baaz used Flamethrower!

[Azunara]

Solara pricked her ears, tensing. She could've sworn she heard something, and she sat up, tail flicking. If they were Dusk, they wouldn't find her an easy target. After a few tense seconds, though, she realized the scent was familiar. She relaxed, returning to lying down. If Ghost wanted to talk, fine. Otherwise, Sol just wanted to enjoy warm sunlight.

---

Cro gave a slight, worried grin at Baaz. He wanted to do more, but those flames were too risky. Burning wasn't on his agenda, really.

[Kira]

Theia stared at Baaz for a moment before she snapped out of it and did her best to heal him.
Theia used Recover!

Kyuu moved over to Mewtwo and Remi, taking he child into her arms as she nuzzled her mate. She couldn't stand the thought of losing them. She felt so bad for Deoxys.
Mewtwo curled his tail around Kyuu, his eyes closed for a moment. "I promise, I wouln't let anything happen to you or our son.."
