Rise of the Shadows!

[Kira]

Terra looked up at Olivia, little tears in his eyes. "M'Terra..I..was a Dusk.."

[Magnakilro]

Jaws tilted his head, "a Dusk huh? You don't seem like one of them..."

Chomp wagged his tail in front of Rust.

----

Iron nuzzled Ghost, purring slightly.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Rust squeaked happily, batting Chomp's tail, "Meep!!"

----

Ghost sighed, "I'm sorry Iron... I dunno what the hell came over me and made me get insane yet again... I.. I'm such an idiot..." She kept her gaze focused on the ground, ears drooping.

[Magnakilro]

Iron scratched a tree, "Its ok....just relax....." he began to gently stroke her fur.

----

Chomp chuckled, "You are too adorable kid...."

He wagged his tail some more.

[Kira]

Terra squeaked a bit as his attention turned to Jaws. "I...I'm not really..I mean, I look like them and everything, but I've never really..liked hurting people. It's not nice..."

[Magnakilro]

Jaws looked around, "....you got a family?"

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost looked up at Iron, then nuzzled him, "But.... .... Okay...." She sighed, smiling slightly.

----

"Meep!!" Rust squeaked, leaping at Chomp's tail and clinging onto it.

[Magnakilro]

Iron nuzzled her, and scratched, "Want me to take you back? I'm sure Rust would love to see his mommy again!"

[Kira]

Terra looked down, shaking his head. "No...I think the humans stole my egg before I hatched...then I ended up being turned into this..."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost smiled, "Sure.. Let's head back." She then sighed again, "Dammit I hope this whole thing is over soon..."

[Magnakilro]

Iron made a noise as if saying "Me too..."

He began to head back.

------

Jaws looked at Olivia, "Think we should take him as our own?"

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost kept silent for the most part of the trip back, but finally let out a sigh. She looked up at Iron, "Hey Iron...? Remember how I was feeling upset the other day? When I found out Sol and Soundwave were together? And remember how I said I didn't want to talk about why I was upset? Well.... I guess I might as well tell you now." She paused, taking a deep breath, "Well the reason is... Two years ago, I guess I was pretty much in love with Solara... And was up untill a little while before I met you." She blinked, kind of surprised that she had actually said all of that. She then looked away, feeling embarassed, "... Just thought you needed to know that, I guess...."

[Magnakilro]

Iron tilted his head. He didn't know how to respond. He gave Ghost a lick and scratched, "Sorry...for kinda helping you feel that way..."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost shook her head, "Don't say sorry, okay? I'm the one being stupid letting old emotions get in the way of my life." She smiled weakly.

[Magnakilro]

Iron scratched, "Your not being stupid....sometimes its just hard to let go of old feelngs...you know? Maybe if you do....it might help you two be friends again!"

He nuzzled her.

[Senna-Umbreon]

"I doubt it..." Ghost shook her head again, "Even if I did... I doubt it would help.. It's almost like Sol doesn't even want to be friends anymore...."

[Magnakilro]

"Sol seems to still be tormented about what she went through when the humans had her," Iron scratched, "I don't know how we can get through to her....maybe Soundwave can help?"

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost sighed, "What makes it even worse is that.. I talked to her a few days ago.. And she pretty much promised that she'd try to not be so affected by it all.. And that she'd let the others try and help her. And yet... Right before I skedaddled away from the cave again, I had tried talking to her.. But she was back to being grumpy...."

[Magnakilro]

Iron sighed, and scratched, "We'll find a way to calm her down....maybe she may find her own way....though Soundwave seems to be helping a bit with that...."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost nodded slightly, sighing, "I guess you're right..." She paused, quietly growling, "Dammit.. I just hate this! Besides you, Rust and Julius.. My life just sucks. My biological family doesn't want anything to do with me, with the exception of Butterfly and Mercury... And my supposed best friend acts like I barely exists! Not to mention we're in a losing battle against the Dusk! IT IS JUST NOT FAIR!!!!"
