Rise of the Shadows!

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave hugged her tightly.....staying silent. Just crying.

[Kamalia]

Molly shivered again as shade Daray was reduced to a puddle of ectoplasm. "Sorry. They seemed to target you a lot when taunting me. Kept saying those awful things. I hate it. They must be holding a grudge against you for curing so many of us." Molly rubbed her arms, glancing around nervously. Nothing else was attacking them, but it didn't seem to be over. The angry murmurs had returned, if quieter this time. But they were still there.

[Moonlost]

Baaz charged though the folliage, clearing the way for the houndoom following him. Every so often he looked back to make sure she was keeping up, increasing or decreasing his speed to match. Eventually he stopped, placing a paw on a nearby furn to clear a path to a shallow pond. Life teemed around it, and the sun dappled on it's surface to create dancing ripples of gold upon a crystaline surface. Baaz grinned, watching Lilith's reaction.

[Kira]

"It's possible..." Daray glanced at the puddle before he looked up and snarled. "Come out here already! I will not let you stupid things keep hurting the woman I love! COME OUT!"

[Magnakilro]

Lilith stared in awe, "Its....beautiful....!"

[Azunara]

Solara returned the hug, nuzzling Soundwave. She was sad, and scared, and frustrated. Why did things like this happen? Why did the humans have to torture innocent pokemon to get their weapons? She shoved the questions away. She didn't want to deal with them, so she decided to continue shaking and crying.

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave sighed, "What do we do now?...."

[Kamalia]

The murmurs rose to become harsh laughter. Well, if that was what he wished...

Molly blinked and turned her head as she heard a small, pitiful wail. She froze as she spotted a tiny figure several feet away.

[Azunara]

Solara replied, "The safe answer would be to return to the others. But I'm not sure I want to deal with the prisoner or Ghost yet. We could just walk around or something. Collect berries. Keep an eye for Dusk activity, because honestly, when will they ever give us a rest? Anything than go back."

[Kira]

"Oookay..the heck is that?" Daray raised an eyebrow as he peered ahead. He might have been taller, but that did nothing for his eyesight. "What's going on now?"

[Moonlost]

Baaz smiled "I thought you might like it," He said in a soft voice. "I remember playing here as a pup a long time ago. I was surprised to see you guys had taken up refuge up not too far from it. Although now that we're here, I'm not quite sure what we should do now." He chuckled.

[Lupis]

Summer looked around and frowned, "I don't see her either.. Maybe she's just gathering food, or something?" she whispered back to Sosa.

Hands, perched on a rock beside Chomp, stared off into the distance, wondering where Scarab was.

Scarab watched Dr. Insins for a little while longer, then silently left and stalked the city, stopping at various points that seemed to stand out for no understandable reason.

Faded away, two black opal eyes watched Hands from behind a tree and a shroud of Fade shadows. Oooh, well that was interesting... Scarab would be overjoyed to hear about her. Maybe she'd get the privilege of holding down the traitor bird while her Master killed it?

[Kamalia]

Molly was silent. She took two steps forward. The little creature's crying rose into sobs. The Gardevoir shakily knelt down, still a fair distance away. "Luke?"
The tiny Ralts quieted and looked up, his breathing shaky. He made a whimpering sound and held his arms out at Molly.

[rubybeam]

She woke up with a start. a women with a light robe, like that of a scientists she had blue eyes and raven blue hair, she looked around her empty house with a displeased frown, her pokeballs emty on the table thier residents currently hidden around the house. Her name was dr.zype, head of the shepard project, she admitted the main members kept secerts about the shepards no one else knew, she had missed the little darlings and it had been lonley the last few days without them or anything else around but her companions to keep her company

[Kira]

Yep, now he was confused. "Molly? What's..who...huh?" He would move if he had to, but he just watched for now. His head was starting to hurt.

[Kamalia]

"Luke? Luke, is that you?" Molly's voice wavered as she inched closer. The Ralts watched her, his head tilted up so that he could see past his 'hair'. He made a gurgling noise and got up on his legs, wobbling. Molly caught hold of him as he fell and held him tightly to her chest, stifling sobs as the baby reached out and curiously tugged on the curl of Molly's hair.

[Kira]

"M-Molly! Be careful!" Daray refused to lose her, and he'd do what he had to to make sure she was healed. "What's going on? Who is that?"

[Kamalia]

"Luix, use Night Slash."

Molly shrieked as she was cut along her back. She felt Luke getting torn out of her arms, the baby now bawling. Gasping, she clutched at her back and looked up. A trainer stood there, a Gallade next to his side, one of his blades dripping with Molly's blood. Luke was tucked under the Gallade's arm, screaming and crying.
"Luix, use Night Slash." The trainer repeated, sounding almost robotic. The Gallade plunked the Ralts on the ground and leapt at Molly again.
Molly used Protect!
The Gallade hissed as his blade bounced off harmlessly.
"Luix!" The Gardevoir's voice was between an outraged accusation and a plead. The Gallade looked at her expressionlessly as he circled her, looking for a break in the shield.

[Kira]

Daray was still confused, and more than a bit worried. A sinking feeling had started in his gut, but he'd ignore it for now. He snarled at the Gallade and sent out wave after wave of darkness from his body.
Daray used Dark Pulse!

[Moonlost]

Gamin wandered the streets, alone in his thoughts. Did Seventeen truely care about him, or was he merely just a body, another set of fangs to attack her enemies? He knew he shouldn't ask those sorts of questions. She took him in when nobody else would. He had just been another small dusk, lost amongst the crowd of his kin. She showed them all that he was worth something. So why was he feeling so crappy right now? He didn't know.
The scent of scarab drifted into his nose. What was he doing around here? He started to trot towards the Kabutops, happy to have a distraction from his thoughts.
