Rise of the Shadows!

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Sorry for disappearing. PTR has stolen me XD So.. I'm gonna be absent for a while, if not the rest of the day. Yay for goofing around with a Troll Druid on the PTR! *Huggles her new Troll Druid* <3))

[Azunara]

Solara watched the sableeye fade. It had a point. It really couldn't do much to her...She pricked her ears as she heard Soundwave, and looked at the trees she had obliterated, head tilted.

[Moonlost]

((I can sympathise with your Troll druid love <3 ))

Insins moved to Buzzard, letting his professionalism take over to stop his nervous jitters. Resting his makeshift cane on a nearby wall, he pulled out the needle and carefully interted it into the Charizard's arm. As soon as the solution was completely injected, he grabbed his cane and hobbled out quickly, bolting the door behind him. He then moved into the viewing room, standing next to Scarab, watching Buzzard intently.

[Magnakilro]

Chomp looked at Hands, "Maybe its something that happened between you two before this Dusk mess?"

---

Soundwave landed next to Solara, "You know when you leave the cave...you should warn me so I can join you...."

[Azunara]

Solara shrugged, giving a mild grin. "Just wanted to think by myself, that's all."

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave tilted his head, "Oh...I guess I'll leave ya to it then.." he turned to head back.

[Lupis]

Hands shrugged slightly. She supposed it wouldn't hurt to tell him a bit. 'It's just strange is all. Very unlike Scarab. I was an experiment to see if the Dusk virus could infect an egg, so I was newborn in the beginning of the two test years. Scarab took me under his wing under the excuse of "needing hands". He was very reserved about the father-daughter thing, but it was obvious in how he acted. That's why this new change is so disturbing. Even when the Voices had nearly full control he was still protective of me.' She knew telling anyone about Scarab being her foster father was a very bad move for both her and him, but Chomp was one of the only Dawn she felt like she could trust in the least besides Arachne.

[Magnakilro]

Chomp sighed, "What if we find a way to uninfect both of you? I'm sure Daray would be happy to help...."

[Moonlost]

"Seems like a battle of some sort..." Baaz said, lowering his nose so he could sniff about. It didn't seem like there were any unusual scents about, the only Dusk he could smell were those of the group who had already been infected. He looked around, searching for someone to clue him in. Seeing Deoxys, he moved over.
"Sorry to disturb, mayhaps you could tell us what happened?"

[Azunara]

Solara nodded slightly, watching him go. She felt guilty; Soundwave was the only one who actually tolerated her...But still. She had to go forth with this, after all, it'd give her a chance to destroy Ghost and Iron. She bared her teeth, snarling, as she felt the anger squish the guilt.

[Lupis]

Hands tilted her head. 'I would approve of that. I'm pretty sure Scarab wouldn't, but once cured he'd agree it was a good choice. That'd take knocking him out though, and if that espeon gets near him...' she hissed under her breath and dug her talons into the ground, glaring towards where Solara had gone.

Delrokx reappeared. "So is it a deal?" she whispered.

[Kamalia]

Tira, Olivia and Molly seemed a bit on edge from the recent outburst between Solara, Ghost and their partners. Julius had happened to walk in while it was happening. He had reverted form being cheerful to sulking in a corner, not seeming to care about his fur which was soaked from his recent swim.

[Magnakilro]

Chomp looked at Hands, "Do you know Hypnosis?"

-----

Soundwave sighed, "I need to go talk to Iron..."

He flew in search of the big dinosaur.

[Azunara]

Solara nodded, "I'll see what I can do. Thank Arceus I'm psychic," She muttered under her breath, and paused, focusing. She attempted to establish mental contact with Hands, and said quietly, "Listen, I know you hate me, but trust me here, alright?" It was a quiet, almost inaudible thought, and she hoped Hands would get the message. With a sigh, the espeon shook herself, and quietly slunk back to where Chomp and Hands were.

[rubybeam]

((Guys i'm sorry I might just quit the rp soon, i'm started to not have anything to roleplay to and all my characters just seem to be side characters in the rp anyways that are hardly mentioned I doubt anyone cares..but just think if any of them were to die i'd just be bleh they died so what? i'm not quitting yet just thinking about it..i'm sorry if I'm acting like a complete bitch that wants attention..))

[Kamalia]

((Aww, Ruby, I'm sorry you feel that way. ): Maybe RP a few more days and see how it goes and how you feel, or take a little break for a day or two? Maybe you'll feel like RPing again after that if you really don't feel like it right now.))

[Moonlost]

(( Aww, I'd hate to see you go ruby. Ultimately it's up you you, I can sympathise with not feeling like I'm part of the story. Maybe what you need to do is just change your pace a little bit? Trim down your characters to a few essentials, change them about so you have a bit of character to them if you need, and get them involved with some of the plots that seem to be developing. Or take a break from it as Kam said.))

[rubybeam]

((It's not really me not wanting to roleplay here it's just that I don't fit in the roleplay, my characters have no major relations and I know that's my fauly I try to make thier moments seem emotional but I just can't, no cares because thier side charaters at least I think i'm sorry here I really am if I may seem like i'm trolling and such just if I were to just suddenly dissapper, the roleplay would continoue to go as normal, if my characters were to die theres no major influence there I tried and failed I just don't fit in. I do try and make them part of the plot it just doesn't happen..))

[Kamalia]

((I think Moon's suggestion of trimming down your characters a bit might work... you've got a lot of them, so that's probably hard to manage and to get them all closely involved in the RP. It might be hard to let some go if you're attached to all of them, but maybe it could help?))

[Lupis]

Hands nodded. 'Of course.' She blinked as Solara whispered in her head, and turned her head nearly upside down to sharpen her thoughts and make the mental connection stronger. What... Very well, I'll listen.

((Warning to all, I'm going to go very off-cannon here because I need to evolve a top-evolution Pokemon. I promise it won't be incredibly OP like a lava-dripping Lizard-o-doom.))

Buzzard didn't feel any change at first. He sat, thinking to himself about what the new Dusk virus might mean.
It started with his tail flame. As it had done in his previous evolutions, it flared up wildly, flames enveloping his entire body. He blinked in shock, and suddenly roared in agony as his muscles exploded in pain. What was happening?! This hadn't happened when he had evolved before! Through a pain-filled haze he realized it was because before, he had been ready to evolve - this was forced.

Through the pain he began to feel something else, too - strength. The flames burned larger and hotter, turning white where they met his tail. He hyperextended his back and flapped his wings, roaring again - this time not in pain but in power. This was more like it! The pain wasn't gone, but it wasn't taking over anymore...

As the flames died, so did his strength. He collapsed, his muscles having not been prepped for a sudden change - they needed time to rest and recuperate. Maybe get a few injections too.

Buzzard evolved into Charidon!

Scarab was impressed. As soon as the shell of flame changed from orange to a bright yellow and white, he knew something had happened. This new beast... This was interesting. In overall shape and coloration, much like a Charizard, but fitter, standing taller with a broader chest. The two stubby horns had grown long and sharp tipped, the jaw shape becoming stronger, arms getting larger, wings expanding... The scale color of Buzzard had changed too, from orange to near red like a Charmeleon. It was less round overall, at least it did for the short time the beast had been standing.

((I hope you don't leave, Ruby. I agree with Moon that it's up to you, but you do indeed have a major role in this story, with the Sunrise under your control. They'll probably be playing a big part as soon as the Dawn start working with them. The Sunrise can do a lot the Dawn can't.))
