Rise of the Shadows!

[Kira]

"All they are are shadows." Daray said in a low snarl. His voice echoed, thanks to the increase in size. So that comment from the Shade Olivia had bothered him. Could you Blame him? "That's all you have to keep telling yourself. It's just getting rid of the dark parts of yourself.."

[Azunara]

Solara blinked, shocked. She didn't realize he had been through all of that. She said, "I'm sorry you have to go through those years too." She licked his cheek. It gave her a bit of hope, though. If Soundwave had been Dusked as she was, and he wasn't...as feral, maybe, with time, she could heal as well.

[Kamalia]

"Right, of course..." Molly looked unhappily at Tira. The dragon's expression seemed to change to one of happiness. "Hi Molly!" She called cheerfully, her tail swishing. "Molly, why don't you come with us? We miss you! Your old team! Do you miss us?"
Molly shivered. She fired a blue orb at Desna and a lightning bolt at Louis.
Molly used Focus Blast!
Molly used Thunderbolt!
Tira seemed to cower, shrinking into a ball as Desna fell with a thud and disappeared. Louis bellowed and a beam of ice shot out at the Gardevoir.
Shade Louis used Ice Beam!

[Kira]

Daray shifted himself to the side and took the beam for her, ignoring the unnatural chill that ran through him. A sphere appeared in his palm and he tossed it at the Walerin, his eyes still glowing a deep red.
Daray used Shadow Ball!

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave shook, "....I couldn't bear to see my daughter again..."

[Kamalia]

Molly quickly joined her own Shadow Ball to his. Louis roared in anguish and wavered slightly. Rings of water suddenly flowed around him, slowly starting to mend his wounds.
Louis used Aqua Ring!
Molly gritted her teeth and summoned power. Crackles of lightning arced from her arms toward the Walrein.
Molly used Thunderbolt x2!
Louis finally collapsed. Tira was the only one left. Molly stared at her, her arms dropping. "Tira?"

[Kira]

Daray refused to move from his spot, mostly shielding Molly. "It's not Tira. Looks like Tira, might sound like her, but it's not."

[Azunara]

Solara nuzzled Soundwave, "It's not your fault, what they did to you or what you did. Don't blame yourself, and she'll understand what happened."

[Kamalia]

Tira suddenly let out a wracking cough and began to shiver. "M-Molly..." She whimpered. "Why didn't you keep that Froslass away from me, Molly?"
The Gardevoir watched helplessly as the Flygon's skin began turning blue, her wingtips becoming frosty.
"Why aren't you helping me, Molly?" She cried.

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave sighed, "....I hurt her Sol....I attacked her...."

[Moonlost]

Baaz slowed his lope, looking back to Lilith. "Are you coming milady? If you wish, we could find another location, parhaps something of your choosing?

Venin's nose was not as sharp as Seventeens or Gamins, but the scent of the up ahead was strong enough for her to easily detect. It was too faint to tell exactly what it was, although it almost smelled like other eeveelutions. This requires some investigation. Slinking on her belly, she moved forward towards the clearing.

Seventeen growled to herself as she walked. How could she let herself get as injurded as she had? Most of her woulds were healing well now, but she'd bnever get her eye back. It was those damn umbreons! And Venin and betrayed her as well. she knew not where the vaporeon went, but if she returned then she would rip her throat out! The whole damn eeveelution breed could rot! She fired a bolt of lightning at a nearby building in her rage. Bricks and mortar crumbled down from the impact.

[Magnakilro]

Lilith ran up next to Baaz, "No...I want to see this!"

[Kira]

"Leave her alone!" Daray snapped, feeling irritated now. "Molly, if you can't, I will...I know this is hurting, but you have to remember that you've done everything you could for everyone."

[Azunara]

Solara whined quietly, "You weren't yourself, though. And I promise you she will forgive you. That's what families do. Don't beat yourself up for what the Voices made you do." She blinked, looking at her claws. "I'm not helping, am I? I sound like a hypocrite..."

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave sighed, "I love you Sol....." Soundwave was in tears as he reminisced about his terrible deeds.

[Moonlost]

The Arcanite grinned then started to run again, throwing his head back to let the wind ruffle though his mane.

[Magnakilro]

Ok...Lilith had to admit...that was sexy....she ran after him.

[Azunara]

Solara nodded, also crying. A part of her told her she was pathetic, but she crushed it down. Bad memories flicked through her head. Hours in a cage, with little food, water, or exercise. Needles. Sedatives. Watching scenes of her friends all fall around her until she felt something snap inside her. Hours in the dark, suffering. "I love you too," She said to Soundwave, whining softly.

[Kamalia]

Molly swallowed and nodded tearfully. She raised a hand to send out an attack, then flinched and pulled back as the dragon snarled and rose up on her hind legs. "So supportive." The new voice was familiar, but the sneering edge to it was not. Tira shuddered and twisted, her shape changing. A wide, glasgow smile spread across the shape's face and scarlet eyes narrowed back at them. "Oh, if only she knew!" The shade Daray cackled. "Why don't you tell her, if you care so much? I don't know if she'll care for you after she knows!" He sang, then let out a choking sound as Molly sent several strong blasts of psychic power at him in a fury.
"Stop. Saying. That!" She snarled with each blow.

[Kira]

That..that was a shade from Molly...right? Not a shade from himself. Had to be...it wouldn't make sense any other way. Daray watched Molly attack the shade version on himself, not saying a word.
