Rise of the Shadows!

[Kira]

"You're not." Sosa assured her as he smiled. "I was hoping that you would say it...I would have been rather embarrased if I had and you did not feel the same.."

Kyuu flicked her ears and closed her eyes. She sighed before she looked ahead and took off at a run. She didn't want to do this, but she couldn't stay like this much longer.

[Azunara]

Solara nodded, "No offense, I'm no fan of Scarab, but I can relate to missing people you cared about. I felt pretty awful when my sister died a few years back. Well, less awful and more angry. At her for dying, at everyone else for not helping me save her, and at me, for not doing more to keep her alive. Look at it this way though. There's still a chance you two will meet up again. That's more than I had."

[Lupis]

Summer smiled. "I was thinking the same. I hoped that you would say it, but I was being silly not saying it myself." She draped her tail over his shoulders. "Good thing I did. I would have gone more insane if I didn't say anything."

Scarab shook his head. "Deal with the sssmall problemss firsst. We have the time."

Hands nodded. 'Yes,' she scratched, 'at least he isn't dead.' She sighed. 'He wasn't always the Scarab you hate. Thank the humans for that. They made him for this.'

[Azunara]

Solara was thoughtful, "Wonder if we could manage to cure him. What would happen, besides the Dusk falling into chaos? And I can understand what you and Scarab went through. I was there, those two years, suffering. Have this to show for it." She said, flicking a paw at the Dusk collar around her neck.

[Moonlost]

Insins nodded. "As you wish"" he replied, turning back to his lab quipment.

Seventeen sturred, limbs twitchign ever so slightly and her eyes begging to flicker. Everything seemed hazy6 and her limbs didn't seem to be working properly. She growled softly to show her displeasure.

((Edit: And ruby, I say go for your scientist! I have no clue how you manage all your characters though lol.))

[Lupis]

Hands had noticed the collar before, and nodded thoughtfully. 'As you said, the rest of the Dusk would probably go insane. The Voices are already telling me I'm worthless and I made Scarab soft, if he was cured... They'd probably scream so much that the rest of the Dusk ran around attacking everything they saw.' She huffed wryly. 'By the way, the voices are telling me that I made Scarab soft. That might be of interest.'

Vulture looked down at Seventeen, trotting over to the grass and putting her down. "She's waking up," he informed Gamin.

[Kira]

Sosa smiled and shook his head. "You would not have...I just would have had to say something."

Kyuu sighed as she flicked her ears forward. She could hear something ahead of her, and she only hoped it was them. Her ears moved completely forward, knowing this was so stupid but..she wanted her mind back to normal..and if that meant seeking out the stupid gat like she was, then fine..that's what she'd do. Now she just had to Locate the darn thing.

[Magnakilro]

Lilith nodded at Baaz, "Sure I'd like that!"

[Azunara]

Solara tilted her head, "Frankly, I never know whether to trust those Voices. They've had their uses, and they're fantastic in a fight. In other circumstances, they're a nightmare. And if Scarab's an even harder opponent to face, then I'm not too worried. I'm always up for a good fight." She grinned wickedly, claws clicking the ground.

[Moonlost]

Baaz smiled, then walked out of the cave. He shook himself happily as the sun drenched his fur. He paused outsde the cave, waiting for Lilith to catch up.

Seventeen's eye creaked open. Strange blurs dominated her vision. She snarled, attempting to rise to her feet before collapsing once again. Everything hurt. Smells familiar drifted into her nose, but she couldn't distinguish them. She lay on the ground, teeth bared in case they were enemies.

Gamin whined as he watched her. Determined to be fierce, even when she was clearly injured beyond any ability to fight. He dared nto approach her though, in case she bit his leg off or something.

[Lupis]

Hands glared at Solara, scratching two quick pictures - one of Solara attacking Scarab, and the other of herself tearing out Solara's eyes. 'I want you to understand I'm helping you because I want to find Scarab. You wouldn't help your captors kill your friend, would you?'

Summer nodded, then grinned to herself, "Does this mean I can pounce on your brothers whenever they make fun of you for singing?"

[Magnakilro]

Lilith walked next to him.

[Kira]

Sosa let out a laugh as he nodded. "Feel free. Just try not to kill them. They may be irritating, but they are still my family." He smiled at her. "And feel free to ask me to sing whenever you want."

[Azunara]

Solara looked at Hands carefully. "And you have to understand that once we find him, all bets are off. He's, and enough of his army, have killed multiple friends of mine. Some of the people he killed? They were parents. Chomp is a father. Delora was a mother. He killed kids. Speck was a kid, she died protecting the others. And if he didn't have mercy for them, why should I have mercy for him?" She asked, hissing quietly.

[Magnakilro]

Pinsir walked back into the cave and grabbed a berry. He began to eat it slowly.

Jaws woke up, saw Terra between him and Olivia, "....."

[Lupis]

Hands continued glaring. 'So much of what you blame him for was the doing of rebellious Dusk in his army. As much as he tries, he can't control all of them, and they kill people. He had no say. You want revenge for Chomp? Kill that Yanmega. You want revenge for all the deaths? Cure them all. Killing them would wipe out most of the Pokemon population of this entire region. But if you just want to kill Scarab for being unlucky enough to want to carry out what he was created and taught to do, then you'll have to fight all of them, and me.'
It was a lot of writing to be done, but she was angry. She was also prepared to start flying if the Espeon got really angry back.

Summer laughed, "I won't kill them. Just give them a nice scare. And I will be asking you to sing more."

[Azunara]

Solara snapped back, "So what else am I supposed to do? How do you propose we cure them all, hm? He's just going to keep tearing us apart, until we're all Infected or dead! There's no way for us to cure them, and the only way to defend ourselves is kill them. And I'll gladly fight them all. While he was being taught to lead, I was being taught to kill. And I'll do that if needed." She lashed her tail, shifting into a battle stance, ready to strike.

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave heard yelling, "Sol?"

He flew in her direction

[Kira]

"Good, cause I like singing." Sosa said honestly as he felt his tail wagging.

Terra remained fast asleep, still a small little yellow ball with lines.

[Lupis]

Hands gave her a blank look. She sketched a quick sunrise on to the ground and pointed a claw at it, then wrote, 'You're forgetting the thing that the entire Dusk army ran away from. It takes them a few seconds to cure ten Dusk.' She half-opened her wings, ready to dart if she had to.
