Rise of the Shadows!

[Lupis]

Buzzard shook his head. "Of course there can be friendship, to a point. We can't be split. That's why we're doing this - all these split loyalties! Nobody can be happy, there can't be peace, because we always feel like we're betraying someone. No more." He shook his head again. "This goes far beyond one war. This is a future. I don't want the world to be like it was, friends betraying friends because of other friends... We're going to unite everyone. And if someone has to rebel, then they... They can't exist in our future, if they can't see past their own blindness."

Scarab looked at the army again. Were they ready? Perhaps..
"We need a group of Dusk to go be the distracting group. Then we will split up the rest of us into groups by element and evolution - this will end today."

[Kira]

"I know, but I still want to remind you that if you get hurt I will be upset, and so will the kids." Delora said simply as she hopped up to lick his cheek. "So be careful."

---

Aeris smiled and nudged Pinsir onto her back before she took off and went back to Keri and the others, landing nearby.
"Hey bug man. What's wrong? Ya look upset." Lira frowned, her head tilting.

[Azunara]

((*...more or less has forgotten about Cro. Not my fault the Dusk are way more exciting! Don't hurt me! Anyways, though, he's pretty much figured out he's the new Lord of Time. And that his past self kind of died. That's always pretty shocking. And he knows that he isn't actually Deoxys/Delora's kid.))

Solara flicked her tail, glancing at Buzzard. She figured she might as well let him know. "I'm volunteering to be among the first Dusk to distract the Dawn. Figured I'd tell you."

[rubybeam]

"In war though you just can't let those 'friends' kill you unexpectly isn't that what scarab told you thunder?" confusion stepped in snarl "Look at how patthdic you are now gone from a person inspireable enough to bea leader to..well the lowest place! You took all you taught me with and abadoned it all of a sudden think I'll let you get away with it?"

[Lupis]

Wha- well, then so am I! I can't let you go off alone! Buzzard protested, looking up at Scarab. "Solara and I volunteer for that."

Scarab nodded - it was probably best to have strong Dusk in front, so they wouldn't be killed. He looked around. "Any othersss?"

((If nobody else wants a Dusk in the distraction team, then we can just make up a few.))

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys tilted his head, "Your not joining me?"

Pinsir sighed, "....the last member of my family died.....she was so young and innocent....she didn't deserve this....."

-----

Soundwave walked through the forest. He finally stopped and started attacking trees.

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Ohyeah. I still have a Dusk character...))

Calypso watched silently as Thunder turned normal. After hesitating for a few moments, she floated over to the Zeburaika and whispered to her, "I don't like being Dusk either... I think my friends are Dawn.. So... We could both try and escape and go join them..."

((... So much for that Dusk character XD))

[Moonlost]

((Sorry for my absence, just been in a bit of a RP burnout mood. I got the basics of what's happening from Senna, but I haven't read what I've missed yet. Forgive me if I type something dumb here.))

Venin hissed again at the vines, tail twitching. She fired another blast of ice at it, smashing the frozen tendril with her tail. It seemed hopeless though, more thorney vines seemed to appear from everywhere to attack.
The heart of the plant suddenly swung forward, trying to smash into the two eeveelutions.

Thorn Plant Heart used Frenzy Plant!
Thorn Plant Vines used Vine Whip!

Baaz saw the encampment on the horizon; apparently they had gone much further than he had anticipated. Somethign smelled different too... More people? He hoped so. He sped up into a trot, looking back to make sure Lilith was keeping up and adjusting speed as needed.

~

Insins leaned on a wall, thinking, fiddling with one of his needles as he did so. So many new pokemon, each created by him. And yet... It wasn't enough, he hadn't achieved his goal yet, none of them had the answers he had been seeking. He shuffled over to his lab, back to his equipment to tinker more with his experiment. He kept listen for Scarab though, in case the Kabutops still needed him.

[Azunara]

Solara nodded, "Figured you would." She grinned at him, looking excited for once. She was ready to end this.

[Magnakilro]

Lilith kept pace with Baaz, listening to the Loudreds, "Sounds like the war is winding down..."

[Kira]

"Of course I'm going to be fighting! We may end up seperated though." Delora said as she sat down, tail twitching. "And if that happens, you better be careful my love."

"Oh man. I'm so sorry." Lira seemed to sink a bit as she looked at him.
Rayge tilted his head to look at the bug, then sank down to look at him directly. "It is a personal belief of mine that a soul is reborn into a new body." His voice was oddly soft fo a Gyarados, though it held obvious power. "And your deeds in your previous life tell what your next will be. Your friend will have a wonderful reincarnation, look forward to that."
(( *Hugs her Gyarados* He's a big softy. ))

Ciro stayed quiet for a long time before he moved over to Cro and gave him a gentle nudge. "No matter what, you are Still my little brother, and nothing will ever change that. I love you Cro, and I'll keep annoying you until we both pass on. Let's go back to mom and dad, okay?"

[Lupis]

((I've gotten to the point where I actually agree with the Dusk. O.o I put myself into my characters too much... Buzzard's words come from the heart. Admittedly, a bit exaggerated. xD))

Buzzard sighed, giving up on Thunder. It was just... ridiculous. They had a chance to end all of this conflict forever. No more split loyalties. No more pain and betrayal. And they gave it up. They actively rebelled. They saw the peace they had always longed for and turned it down. And for what? Friends that fought against them. Friends that had ideas just like them - betrayal and war was a good thing.
He dug his claws into the ground, ready to fight.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Phantom huffed, "This thing just won't give up!!!" He growled, moving to the side so he stood over Venin. He growled slightly as the plant's heart attacked him, "D-Dammit.. This thing is strong for a plant...."

[rubybeam]

Quest eagerly ran up "Oh me to I want to test out this new power ya?" he/she easily transformed the blade in her cheast turned into a polearm, her original maw grew larger now having three others near it, but her new evolution also mirrored what she really was, her 'dress' was ripped and tattered revealing taloned claws underneath, her face no longer had the 'cute' look and twisted into that of a beasts, her gadevoir 'ears' grew longer and more sharp her 'hair' grew pointed like something sharp

Thunder looked over at calypso and nodded "I don't know if the dawn will trust me again though.." it was too late for talking confusion then struck at the zebra attacking with all her attacks trying to kill thunder thunder watched the attacks with a wise eye. there was no way for sure she would suvive that, she closed her eyes expecting to be dead. when she opeaned them she was suprized to still be alive she looked down she see petel gasping for breath "No...not another one" thunder squeaked, tears heavily pouring down her cheeks now, she listened though at petels final words "Thunder..I-I didn't care if you hated friendship and all that, love even..I only cared because you took me under your wing when I was orphaned..I-thought of you as a mother and n-" her eyes rolled back in her own skull as she coughed up some blood

Petel died!

[Azunara]

Solara also had a determined look, tail lashing as she waited for the command to strike.

---

Aurora looked up, hearing the messages. The war would be over soon? That was promising. Maybe she could see her mother again...Maybe Daddy would be less sad. Maybe everyone would be less sad...

---

Cro nodded slightly, sniffling. He looked down at his claws, briefly wondering how he was going to keep an eye on Time? He couldn't even control it that well. It was amazing it hadn't all fallen apart...He shook his head. Home sounded like a good idea.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Calypso let out a squeak as Confusion attacked. She stared in horror as Petal protected Thunder from the attack. "...... This is why I don't like you Dusk. You turn on your friends at the slightest drop of a coin." She said, sounding surprisingly brave despite herself and the fact that she was surrounded by horribly strong Dusk.

[Moonlost]

"Well burn it then Fuzzball!" Venin snapped, her fear turning into frustration. She blasted another ice beam, using it to erect a barrier of ice in front of them; a desperate attempt to try and slow the vines.
She yelped as a thorned tendril wrapped around her hind leg. Before she could freeze it, it lifted her into the air, swinging her about like a ragdoll.

The Heart of the plant swung about for another attack at Phantom, it's thorns slick with blood.

Thorn Plant Heart used Frenzy Plant!
Thorn Plant Vines used Wrap!

"Either that or it's merely the calm before the storm, my love." Baaz said softly, suddenly feeling uneasy. He entered the camp, looking about for one of the others to see what was happening.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys hugged his wife, "I love you..."

Pinsir smiled, "....maybe your right....thanks...."

[Lupis]

Buzzard growled, losing his patience. "That was NOT the slightest drop of a coin! Do you know how long we've been waiting, giving everyone the chance of just joining?! We could have just killed everyone we saw! We could have killed YOU! But we didn't! We accepted you in, we tried to give you a family! And you repay us how?! By turning on us! Your 'friends' in the Dawn won't bend their minds around the fact that even though we're not them, we might actually still be nice! We waited, and waited, and THIS!" He stomped on the ground, seething. "The old Dusk was savage. The old Dusk didn't care. But times change. WE change. The Dawn don't understand change, all they understand in Themselves."

[rubybeam]

Thunder stared at buzzard "I'm sorry..I'm leaveing scarab lied to me and turned me into a monester two people the are close to me just died" she lifted her head just to look at calsypo "We need to leave..fast okay? I'll bury victini and petels once this war is over, even if I die then I'll do it in my death" the zebra gave a little whimper looking at petels dead corpse before litrieally running as fast as she could away
