Rise of the Shadows!

[Lupis]

Buzzard took a moment to think it over. She hadn't attacked, and overall looked like a pretty normal Dusk. If he could trust her to be competent was yet to be told.
"There's a small problem. If you want to see what I'm talking about, I'll need to be able to know I can trust you. Unfortunately, I don't have a task, so words will have to do. Can I trust you, or should I just kill you now and spare you the pain of being killed later if you rebel?"

[Kamalia]

Taia immediately bared her teeth and let out a low growl, the flames on her neck spurting to life at his threat. She forced her lips back over her teeth but was still bristling. She flicked her eyes between the pair before responding. "...And exactly what are you wanting to hear from me?"

[rubybeam]

It took awhile but they finally arrived at the site, it was a high cliff thunder water down below the pachirisu suddenly looked nervous and ran off running back to the sunrise camp chuckling evily

Thunder stared at the little fox rabbit hostility glittering in her mind, it was good though that victini she knew was part type instead of psychic the obivous questions poured out of victini's mouth "Is it true? please tell me, is the olf thunder back?", hopeless little thing truly, annoying also, thunder looked back at her group and then victini they were way better than the stupid legendary. Thunder then stated in a calm voice "I-I'm sorry for what I did I didn't mean to kill you that time..I'm sorry for everything Iv'e done please just accept my forgiveness" she pretended to be sorry, the little legendary gave a kind smile as she flew up towards thunder gently touching the zerbra's cheek "It's okay thunder..it's okay" and now it was time. thunder immdeatly stood up trying to sho the legendary out of her face with a stomp, victini, shocked started to blert out more questions "Why!?" thunder didn't answer this time her hoof slammed agasint the little legendarys lower half with a Crack as most of the bones in that area broke victini was too shocked to answer this time and tried to escape this time before thunder snarled grabbing her by her large ears and fericously tossing her into the sea below, victini couldn't swim and she was a fire type this was the ultimate death for her, thunder blood shot eyes lit up malicously as a demon grin cracked up her muzzle

[Lupis]

Buzzard shrugged slightly. "Just give us a reason you won't run off to the Sunrise and the Dawn. Anything true. Don't have any relations with them? That's all we can really learn from words, so that'd be enough."

[Azunara]

((I have to agree with Lupis on evolutions, though. I'd think they'd stay around, but would be a lot less impressive strength wise.))

Solara hissed, watching the newcomer carefully, ready to strike. Her tail flicked, eyebrow raised.

---

Cro looked again at the spot, quietly voicing his thoughts, "I hatched right here. I know, cause when I went back in time, it was right after that dark, empty spot. Not sure what happened there, either. I can't see it."

---

((I've been wanting to bring in a new character for a while. Let's see if I don't forget about them. I do that a lot...))

Thunder's crime didn't go unwatched, however, as a houndoom crouched in the bushes, watching. She had been one of the Dawn from Spear Pillar, and had simply been a scout among the Sunrise and Dawn, but now she quietly growled, watching, thoughtful.

[Kamalia]

Taia shot Solara a cold look before turning her attention back to Buzzard. "I have heard of the Dawn and Sunrise, yes. I was bitten once and I turned into these colours." She gestured to her dark, ashy-blue body and silver flames. "And I heard voices. I'm guessing that's a common thing for this... Dusk virus. They drove me next to insane at first, but I can deal with them most of the time now. Besides, they offer good advice... they led me to a group of Pokémon who had the same odd colours I became. They told me that they were originally from a grand army called the Dusk and they told me all about their actions. However, the army got split up, they told me, and they had been wandering ever since. They also told me that these Dawn and Sunrise Pokémon were trying to kill anyone who became Dusk." She shrugged. "I got split up with them a few days ago and here I am now. Are you satisfied now?"

[Lupis]

Buzzard shrugged. "Doesn't sound like you'll be running off and abandoning us any time soon."
He gestured to towards the direction of the lab. "This way. I'll fill you in on the news as we get back."

[Senna-Umbreon]

((COMPUTER, WHYYYY?!?!?! *Shakes her laptop which turned off when she was asleep, killing all of the awesome pictures she forgot to save* AGGGGGGGGHFGHYFDGYZRHT))

Phantom grinned, "Being a Fire type definitely has its advantages! Like.. This!!" He turned and breathed out a steady stream of flames at the mass of thorns.

------

Calypso blinked again, "Evolved again? Th-that sounds interesting...." She fell silent for a few moments, "I.. I guess I am Dusk, aren't I?"

------

"... Oh why didn't I remember?! Duh!!" Stormie suddenly exclaimed. She turned to grin at Julius, "Hey Julius, I think I may have a way to heal you myself! If I can get the hang of it, that is..."

[Azunara]

Solara returned Taia's glare, quietly hissing. She wasn't afraid to hurt the Typholosion if she had too. She was caught in a bad mood, and didn't want to be messed with. If it wanted to pick a fight and irritate her, that was fine by her.

[Lupis]

Carrion nodded at Calypso. "I do believe you are. That's not a bad thing, too. Interested in coming along?"

((Edit - argh, that sucks, Senna. :-< I've done that before. It's not fun at all.))

[Kamalia]

"Glad you think so." Taia replied gruffly, looking in the direction he pointed out while studiously ignoring Solara.

--

"O... kay?" Julius blinked at her. "Give it your best shot, I guess." He was slightly worried at her 'getting the hang of it', because Arceus knows what would happen if a healing ability went wrong. Nevertheless, he sat down and looked at her expectantly.

[rubybeam]

Thunder stared down at where victini was got sinking and drowning she almost laughed out loud but she quickly snarled upon hearing confusion
------

Confusion was sure she could 'sense' someone nereby she looked into the bushes where the houndoom was and gave a quick snarl "Someone's here!"

[Azunara]

Solara swallowed a screech of rage. Oh yeah. She was really going to like this one, she could tell. She fell back a few steps, allowing Buzzard to lead the way. Her paws itched, and she was about ready to snap, but she kept quiet, tail lashing.

---

The houndoom easily leaped out of the foliage, flames licking her fur, then shooting outwards, lighting the bushes around her on fire. The flames still stood on her fur, dancing without hurting her. "You know, killing innocent people isn't very nice," She hissed softly. Dusk.

Houndoom used Overheat!

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Yeah.. I had 6 different pictures I was working on. I was going to draw pictures of my team for Pokemon Black and White (Aka, Lyell's team) and then merge them all into one big team picture. Apparently my laptop didn't approve of that idea... *Sighs* I guess I'll have to go re-draw them all >.<))

"I guess so... I was trying to find my friends... But they seem to have completely disappeared...." Calypso replied, a downcast expression on her face.

------

Stormie continued grinning, then looked around. "Hmm... What can I use..." She glanced down at the ground, ".. That'll work!" She said, thrusting her front paw down to punch the ground. After a few seconds she raised her paw, which now had a light blue glow around it. "And now..." The glow disappeared. "DAMMIT!! That wasn't supposed to happen!" Again, she punched the ground, the glow appearing again and once again.. Disappearing as she raised her paw. "This... Isn't going well. But.. I'm not gonna give up yet!!" She said determindly, and for a third time punched the ground. After a few seconds, she raised her paw again. And this time.. The glow didn't disappear! "Hah!! And now..." She put her paw on Julius's wound, and the glow finally disappeared.

"That should help!!" She cheerfully said.

[Lupis]

Buzzard nodded at the others, "Lets get back to camp for now.. We can catch up with the escapees later. Don't worry, we'll get our revenge." He turned his head back to Taia. "A few of us gathered back here, and we have a pet human making a virus that evolves us. Really, that's all, to put it simply. Once we get enough of us evolved and ready for real battle, we'll start staging attacks against the Sunrise and the rest. More attacks, that is."
He glanced back at Solara and very quickly gave her a sympathetic look. He himself was fine with the new Dusk, if only because he was so used to the jerks by now.

Summer wandered the camp rather aimlessly, keeping far enough away from the Dawn to keep from getting caught in conversation. She still felt too strange around them. She blinked as she saw Ghost, suddenly finding herself feeling... if not guilty, then thoughtful. That once incident had been the only time she had seen Ghost go so insane. Obviously she wasn't going to forget that, just like she wasn't going to forget Deoxys's sadistic rage... But... she had been a sister... Maybe she could make up with her.
She was still determined to leave everyone but her mate and her son after the war was over, but that could be a while. Might as well mend a few broken friendships...
She ended up just sitting, staring awkwardly at the ground near Ghost's feet.

Carrion tilted his head. "Hopefully they're with the rest of the Dusk. If not, they might be with the Dawn..." He growled to himself. Great. Looked like another one with split loyalties. "I've got to know if you'll be able to fight them if the time comes. You don't need to hurt them, just re-infect them. We Dusk are a tight-knit group, and split loyalties are a pain for both your mind and our strength." He gave her a somewhat gentle look, trying to make up for the fact that he could have come across as harsh. Really, he wasn't sure how his brother did it. Stupid Buzzard, always being nice to everyone and making his brothers look insensitive...

[Kamalia]

Julius twisted about, trying to get a good look at his injury. It seemed to had finally succumbed to all the healing attempts and all that remained was a pink line of a scar. Brushing his fur over the scar he looked up at Stormie, a grin on his face. "It worked! What was that?"

--

Taia looked fascinated. "A virus that makes you evolve, even in your final evolution stage? That's amazing! Are there any side effects at all? It seems too good to be true..."

[Azunara]

Solara was silent, and nodded at Buzzard's look, giving him a cautious semblance of a grin. When Taia spoke, Sol made sure the other pokemon couldn't see her, then started making fun of her, imitating her and making a growly, pinchy face, muttering, "Too good to be true!" in a soft, squeaky voice. She snickered to herself, tail flicking. Immature, yes, but frankly she didn't care.

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Poor Ghost. She's pretty much been forgotten lately XD))

Calypso fell silent again. After a while she spoke up. "Well.... I don't want to hurt them.... So.. I guess I'll try my best to re-infect them if I have to...."

------

Ghost tilted her head at Summer. She hadn't really even noticed that the Glaceon had come back.... Huh.

-

"Drain Punch!!" Stormie replied, "My brother showed me how to do that a long time ago... Instead of absorbing the energy leeched with the move into yourself, you keep holding on to its.. aura, or whatever, and then press your paw against someone's wound to use the energy on them instead! I've never tried it 'til now, which is why I couldn't get the hang of it at first!"

[Kamalia]

Taia's ears flicked backwards but she didn't look. "Something funny, kitty?"

--

Julius looked thoughtful, his head tilted a bit to the side. "Huh. I never would've thought it would work that way. That's pretty neat!"

[rubybeam]

A blue sheild fluttered over the group as confusion let out a annoyed snort "Here we go again.." thunder sneered at the houndoom "looks like victini isn't the only one going to be drowned to death.." the whole group attacked

Confusion used protect!
Thunder used wild bolt!
Petel used energy ball!
Fury used afro break!
Fury's recklessness kicked in!
Jerky used horn attack!
