Rise of the Shadows!

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost snorted slightly, "Me acting me the Dusk? Hah! Who cares?! I'm infected, remember?!" She grinned insanely, getting in the way of the Hyper Beam and taking it herself, "Aw f**k off, ya stupid alien!" She sneered at Deoxys, then slashed at Avalanche's throat, "Time to end this!" She laughed maniacally.

((... I'm not even sure what to say about how Ghost is acting right now.. *Flees*))

[Kira]

"All the know is how to kill! They're just as horrible as the Dusk!" Avalanche hissed as he began to squirm. As much fun as he had been having, he did not want to die.

Daray phased back in, frowning. "Hey, knock it off!"

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys teleported Avalanche back to his hand and teleported into the sky.

While he held the Absol there, Deoxys briefly saw him as Eclipse.

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Ooooh Deoxys.. Ghost will never forgive you for that.))

Ghost snarled furiously. Damn that stupid alien!!!! She lashed her tail, raking her claws against the ground with frustration.

[Azunara]

((That's okay, Ghost. You can hold your grudge against Deoxys while Sol plans how best to kill you. >.> <.<))

Cro watched his father carefully, and gave a quiet snarl at Ghost. She shouldn't talk to his dad like that. He could hurt her badly if he wanted...

Zerak watched this, not taking part, Aurora blinking and squeaking besides her, head tilted.

[Lupis]

Delrokx looked at Solara, head tilted in though. Eventually she spoke, thoughtfully. "There are several. One is that this is one less Dawn to worry about. Another is that I really did need some help getting Hands, at least at that point in time. And I could feel the rage, the hate coming off of you - you've got a store of power stowed away inside of you that could kill plenty of Dawn and still keep you alive. Maybe you have some in mind? Besides. I'm getting the feeling the boss is planning something pretty big. The problem is, we can't even hint at what it is until we know you won't betray us. And when I say something pretty big, I mean it."

Summer looked up - and saw Deoxys holding Avalanche over the air. "YOU CAN'T BE HORRIBLE JUST BECAUSE THE DUSK CAN GET AWAY WITH IT!!!" she shrieked at the air, snapping. "Worse than the Dusk! At least they just kill people, unless they really have to keep them alive... This is sickening, pathetic, insane in every way..." she muttered to herself. Maybe she was overreacting, but she had a feeling she would never look at Ghost or Deoxys the same way again. Arceus, she would never look at any of the Dawn that had just watched the same way again. "Hiding under the title of Dawn while harboring cruelties even worse than the Dusk underneath..."

[Kamalia]

DEOXYS! Molly tried to contact him in desperation. Stop! She decided to play her last card. She had some worries if it would only infuriate him more, but...

Would you want Delora seeing you like this? Doing this?

[Kira]

Daray felt his eye twitch. "Will you two KNOCK IT THE HELL OFF?!" He snapped, his eyes glowing a bright red.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys's chest was glowing.

When he heard all the pleas, tears formed in his eyes.

He's chest stopped glowing.

He floated to the ground and laid Avalanche down.

He teleported to the very back of the Dawn cave and cried, "I'm still a monster...."

[Kira]

Avalanche blinked as he felt ground under his paws. It was over? Excellent, time to-ACK! "Put me down you stupid-"
"I'm saving your pathetic ass so shut the hell up." Daray snapped as he lifted Avalanche into the air. "Be thankful, I was going to let him blast you personally.."

Ciro whined as he moved over to his father again. "Daddy...?"

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys was completely broken, "....still a monster..."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost was about to leapt at Avalanche again, but stopped as Daray picked the Absol up, "Oh come on! JUST LET ME KILL THE BASTARD ALREADY!!!!!"

((Me thinks Ghost has officially gone off the deep end.))

[Azunara]

Solara blinked. "Oh. I was expecting at some point along this line you'd kill me. No offense, old fears die hard. And I suppose you're right. There are a few among the Dawn I wouldn't mind tearing apart." She bared her teeth at the thought, tail lashing. Slowly, all the troubles she had among the Dawn built up, and she hissed quietly. Very few of them actually liked her. They were all scared of her. Or hated her. Fine then. They'd regret everything when she killed them.

---

Cro growled at Ghost, "Just stop, okay? It's over."

[Kamalia]

Molly breathed a slow sigh of relief. She cast a dark look at Avalanche before healing him.

Molly used Wish!

She paused and looked at Deoxys, having difficulty deciding if she should be angry at him, frightened of him, or sad for him

Julius sidled in front of Rust, trying to block the Cranivee's view of Ghost. He didn't want Rust seeing his mother like this.

[Kira]

"NO!" Daray glared down at ghost. "Delora specifically told me no one is allowed to put him out of his misery! No idea Why, since he's such a bastard, but I'm not about to get her on my butt!"

"No dad...you're not.." Ciro whimpered and licked at his fathers cheek. "Please..you're scaring me..."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost glared at Daray, then turned and hissed at Cro. She turned to look back at everyone else, "... You are all such f**king idiots." She said simply, then walked out of the cave.

Rust squeaked, cowering close to Julius.

[Kamalia]

The comment stung Julius to the core, even though he knew it wasn't directed to him specifically. He gritted his teeth together and he let out a sound in between a growl and a whine. He pulled Rust closer, hiding him under his fur. "I hear you loud and clear, REESE!" He yelled after Ghost, the fur on the back of his neck standing on end.

[Azunara]

Zerak sighed, watching the Dawn fall apart. Everyone was at each other's throats. The Dusk didn't even have to do anything anymore, the Dawn were destroying themselves. Aurora whined, still pressed against Zerak, hiding her face under her tail. Cro curled up next to his dad, saying quietly, "It's okay, daddy. You were trying to protect your family."

[Kira]

Daray dropped Avalanche by his mate, giving the Absol a parting glare before he moved back into the cave and sighed. "I never want to have to do that again." He muttered, plunking himself down by Molly.

Sosa winced and moved after Summer. He knew he should have said something, but he was never very good at situations like these. He just wanted to leave now..

[Lupis]

Summer heard Ghost yelling like an insane beast and hissed, lashing her tail. She should have known better, putting so much trust in these people. She should have learned by now - after two families ending up in tragedy - that just trying again wouldn't help. She could hear Deoxys in anguish, but she was too disgusted with him and his children - his horrible children that supported the cruelty just because their dad was involved - to try and comfort him.
She flattened her ears. There were two things keeping her from heading to the Dusk right now - and one of them wasn't really a problem. Hallow could be infected with a tiny poke, and wouldn't be any worse off for it. But Sosa, she wouldn't dare leave Sosa behind. She saw Ghost and turned her back to the Umbreon. A cold move, but Summer wasn't feeling particularly courteous towards the "sister". When she saw Sosa, she gave him a sad smile and said quietly, "I want to get out of here."

Delrokx shrugged. "The killing you part comes hand-in-hand with the trust thing. If you prove yourself completely trustworthy, then you get to live - you even get to see what Scarab is planning. And better yet, you get to fight all those Dawn. But if you're thinking about betraying us, then you understand we don't have a choice wether to kill you or not. It's either kill you, or let you give away our location and our plans."
