Rise of the Shadows!

[Azunara]

((Lupis: Go ahead. I paid even less attention Moltres than I did Articuno. And Articuno only spoke a few words. Palkia and Dialga (Especially Dialga, if that isn't evident. >.>) were my favorites.
Senna and Moon: As one of the people who kill off their characters quite frequently, I usuallu have no problem. All of their deaths, except Shad's, wasn't planned. Dialga's death was just one of those 'really no other way to go, so...', but he came back in the form of Cro. Speck has always had a death I'd imagine for her. She would die saving someone else, because she's a little pally. Think of Destiny Bond like Divine Intervention. She killed herself to keep Cro alive. Zerak's death was the only that caught me off-guard...but it fit that Sol finished him. Just a way of showing the Dawn, Sol is Dusk now. She will kill you if you let your guard down.

That said, Sol I will have issues killing. Just can't. Love my nutty telepatheon too much.

And Kira: Awesome! Cro is grateful, poor little guy has no idea what's coming for him...And now, back to the story.))

---

Solara whimpered, shuddering. He hated her too. They all hated her. Only the Dusk wanted her, and they wanted her because she could kill. Because she was loyal...Well at least they didn't want her because of fear. She hissed, the Voices oddly quiet. "We have a smoldereon to catch, any time you're ready." They sounded somewhat...sensitive for once. Then again, it might have been due to the fact they didn't want her against them. They were stepping carefully. She hissed softly again, unsure. What now?

---

Cro gulped, thoughtful. Ciro seemed like a good companion. He was the first sibling he met after he was born and met the other Dawn. He looked at the kid, giving him a careful semblance of a grin, then said, "I'll be back soon." He then carefully went over to Ciro, head tilted. "Ciro? Will you do me a favor?"

[Kira]

(( Heh, no problem Azu! Can't let Cro go through that alone *Hugs the little Dialga* ))

Ciro blinked and looked up from the berry he had been chewing on. His tail flicked as he swallowed, smiling. "Sure little brother! What do you need?"

Daray had managed to turn the oven on, and he was pretty sure it was ready by now. He had never really cooked before, so he couldn't be completely sure.

[Azunara]

((Spotty today. My friend has a birthday party and I should really focus more on homework, so I'll likely tackle some of that today. If anyone needs my characters, feel free to god-mode them as needed, I won't mind. No need to get angles tangled up because I'm being kidnapped by real life.))

Cro looked a bit disturbed, worried. "I need to go see something. Will you come with me? We can walk too, instead of the time travel-y thing, if you want. It's close enough."

[Kira]

Ciro blinked as he nodded, taking one last bite of his berry as he stood up. "Sure!" He let his tail flick again, then gave Cro a little nudge with his head, trying to calm him a bit. "Like I'd let you go alone, ha!"

[Azunara]

Cro gave a hesitant grin, "Thanks!" He then remembered something, and looked back at the elder and her pokemon. "They also offered to teleport us there. Anyway you want to go."

[Kira]

Ciro tilted his head before he nodded. "Teleporting is fine." He said honestly. He could do the teleporting thing, his father used that a bit and he had eventually gotten used to it.

(( Off to work for the day, then off for two! Yay! ))

[Lupis]

((Moon, that Maulyena... I.. arg.... LOVE. Probably my favorite pokemon ever. A shiny one of those? I would die from happiness.
Also, dangit Senna, now I'll feel guilty hunting down Phantom. Even though I hate his attitude (hypocrite!!!)... *Sigh* Oh well, maybe Summer won't have reason to fight him. xD
And Azu, yay, thanks! I love those birds.
I also have trouble killing characters, even though it has to happen. I do have plans for the impending demises of one or two characters.))

Buzzard grinned in relief, privately beaming that he had helped save Gamin for Seventeen.

Quite far off, a blue-feathered bird swooped through the air. Sheets of snow fell below the great blue wings, each beat kicking up a blizzard. Articuno tilted his wings, looping around and raising higher in the air. He had heard Mewtwo's message, but he wasn't sure... His mountains were pretty clean, he had never seen a speck of Dusk.
Until today. An infected Abomasnow had attacked several other native pokemon, forcing the Legendary to come down and regretfully kill the beast. He winced thinking about it. Now, he was sure he had seen a few beasts with darker colored fur or skin. What could he do but find the resistance group and help? It left a bad taste in his beak, but he had a feeling that it was for the best.
He sighed. That ment he had to go find Zap and Mo.

Zapdos flapped his short, bristly wings in quick, powerful strokes, lightning crackling off him and thunder booming from each flap of his wings. The lightning storm above him flashed and crackled with bright purple electricity, sometimes striking him and causing a network of tiny lines to wash over his feathers.
A snowflake landed on his beak.
"ART!" he boomed, his voice much louder and deeper than one might expect for the smallest of the Winged Mirages.
"Hey, Zap! I nee- OW! Agh, cut out the lightni- YAH!"
Zapdos sighed, slowing the flapping of his wings and in doing so toning down the intensity of the storm.
"Listen, Zap... Did you get the message from Mewtwo?" Articuno asked. Zapdos nodded, privately relieved. Good, the frozen bird wanted to take action. He himself had been itching to go fight, but he needed to go with the rest of the Mirages, and Art was the least likely to come. "Then you agree we should go?" Again Zap nodded, but didn't speak. Speaking was irritating when his voice was this loud all the time. "Then lets go! We need to find Mo."

[Moonlost]

((Hard admission time: I'm not really a big fan of Mightyena. It's one of the reasons Gamin started off as a Poochyena, and why he kinda faded a little into the background once he evolved. So I tried super hard to make his evolution super badass. XD I think I would die of happiness to see him in-game. *Cannot wait to sic the new Gamin on some unsuspecting Dawn*
And I think I could dodgey up a shiny coloured version of him some time. ))

"Can you blame me?" Venin laughed, springing ahead a little. "Look at yourself, you're covered in fuzzy bits. Your fuzzy tails, fuzzy feet, not to mention that mane is just going over-board." She brushed his mane gently with her tail.

~

Gamin found himself jumping about, getting a feel for his new body. He felt so much stronger, although a little less swift. His large paws seemed designed to do some serious damage smashing into stuff. Experimentally, he moved over to a nearby table, then leaped up and smashed hsi right forepaw into it. The table easily splintered into pieces. Oh this was awesome. He turned to look at Buzzard. "Hey, thanks for getting me out of here Buzzard. I'd be dead right now if you didn't."

((And I'm off for bed. Azu, if I'm not up by the tiem Cro gets up, just assume Shyra teleports him, Ciro, anyone else that decides to come and Olga to the cave.))

[Senna-Umbreon]

((BLURGH WHY AM I UP?! *Went to bed at 4 am, then woke up around 9 am and hasn't been able to fall back asleep... It's now 10 am* Uggghhhgfhzjsrfzdfxghdf *Dies from lack of sleep* ... It doesn't help that friends are coming over to visit today >.<))

".... That is a good point." Phantom said, letting out a laugh.

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave spoke, "Please Sol...give the Dawn one more chance...I promise they won't hurt you...please Sol...."

Lilith smiled, "Your welcome."

[rubybeam]

Apple handed the bowl to holly letting her put in what she needed

"You know kanmimpi isn't going to let you go without jobs for long right molly?" rain looked over at the gadevoir

[Kamalia]

Molly gave Daray a nod of thanks for the help, then stood back to watch Apple and Holly transfer the batter from the bowl to the pan. She was wearing a broad smile despite the splatters of the sweet, chocolatey goo smeared over her face like warpaint and flour and sugar stuck to that. She glanced at Rain. "Yes, we know. I think Baaz is trying to get scouting jobs for some of us. We want to help find those crystals as soon as possible. Though some of us might stay behind to help out here at the camp, too."

--

"I think that's the Sunrise camp just up ahead." Julius said with relief, peering forward and catching glimpses of buildings and hearing the faint voices of Pokémon. "I'll be glad to get back and get fixed up. I'm sure the same goes for you guys, too."

[rubybeam]

"usually kanmimpi just assigns job's that fit your talents best, that blaziken olivia? I think her name was, if this 'baaz' doesn't make her a scout she might have to help with building stuff due to having experiance with it" rain shrugged

[Azunara]

Sol whined, turning it into a growl. "I've given them plenty of chances. And it always ends the same way. With someone either trying to hurt me or me hurting them. Infected or not, I'm always going to be Dusk. I'm sorry, but...the humans did irreversible things. I can be cured a million times, but the Dusk will always be lurking. I'm sorry, I really am, and I wish it wasn't like this...But I can't change what happened." She scowled, whining in distress.

((Eh, it's fine, Moon. I can wait.))

[Kamalia]

Molly imagined several slanted buildings with stuck doors and lopsided windows. "...Actually, I think it would be best if Olivia was on a scouting party." She chuckled to herself.

[rubybeam]

"Why does baaz want you scout so much anyways? there SOOOO many other fun jobs around here such as serveing food" rain glanced at molly thinking she would be perfect for that

[Kamalia]

"Well, I suppose it's because we want this war to end so badly and to go back to our regular lives." She sighed with a little shrug. "It would seem to make sense that the more eyes to search for the crystals, the quicker they'll be found. Hence, why so many of us would jump for a chance to help scout. Though I'm sure that a few of us are tired of fighting and would be glad to volunteer for work here instead, so no worries on being short on workers." She offered the Zoroark a half-hearted smile.

[Senna-Umbreon]

((I shall be absent for the rest of... Well, I'll be absent for the next few hours, I guess... Friends are over and we're heading off to the Nutcracker tonight XD

*Edit* Oh yeah, since it is officially December and blah... We might as well start the Christmas side-story soon! I might start it myself, but if any of you feel the need to make a thread to start it before I do, go right ahead! XD))

[rubybeam]

"Actually we got more than enough workers I don't really care what you do" rain smiled "All I know I love my damned little job soo much!"

[Kamalia]

Molly smiled. She glanced at Apple and Holly. Almost ready? I'll put it in the oven when you're done.
