Rise of the Shadows!

[Kira]

Delora nuzzled against Deoxys, closing her eyes before she licked his cheek. "I love you too."

Rayge nodded and looked at Keri as she moved over to the bug. She put her hand on his head and gave him a little smile, rubbing gently. "Med told me about your friend..I'm so sorry. But you'll see them again. And everyone else you lost."

----

Ciro nodded and nudged his brother again before he focused on taking them bak to the others, teleporting them back.

[Senna-Umbreon]

"VENIN!" Phantom yelped as the vine took hold of her. Ignoring the plant's further attacks on him, he leapt after the vine that had grabbed Venin, charging at it with bright flames cloaking his entire body.

Phantom used Flare Blitz!

((Have I mentioned that I really really love Phantom? Well.. I do. Despite the fact that he's a total jerk to my other favourite character.. He's pretty darn awesome <3))

------

Calypso narrowed her red eyes at Buzzard, seemingly unitimidated by him. "Interesting. Now, if you'd ask one of the Dawn... They'd say a lot of the same sort of things. Funny how one side believes they're right while the other believes they're right. I suppose that's how wars start, huh? Wouldn't it be just better to end this war completely? Then there'd be no further deaths or betrayals... And things could go back to the way they're supposed to be. Now.. If you'll excuse me.. I have some friends to go find." And with that, she turned and floated after Thunder.

((Calypso can be pretty darn awesome when she wants to be!))

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys smiled, "Right then....let's prepare...this fight is sure to be a long one..."

Pinsir looked at Keri. He gave her a big hug as a "thank you".

[Lupis]

Buzzard glared after Thunder and Calypso. Deaf. As blind as the Dawn. He wouldn't regret their loss. Calypso was a fool. "End this way and go back to to the way they're supposed to be." She had just ignored everything he had said. Every word of it. Things change. People change. The world changed to become what it "was supposed to be", and they had hated the change before that, he was sure. Besides, what was "good" about a world full of betrayal ad death? She...
Sometimes I hate people, he told Solara darkly. I'm so angry right now, I think I'm going to turn into a fireball.

((I... Actually still don't understand Calypso's logic myself. O.o I really get too into this. xD))

[Kira]

Delora nodded and wiggled herself away from Deoxys. She streched out, then blinked. "I need a Cherri berry." She said quite seriously, hopping up to lick his cheek again before she nuzzled each child in turn, including Ciro and Cro. "I'm glad you two are back." She said as she licked them both on the cheek, then darted off to find herself a nice Cherri berry that wasn't a few days old.

Keri smiled and hugged him back. "You know, people really need to give bug types more credit."
Lira grinned and nodded, streching herself out. "Oh hey, why don't you join us Pinsir? It's a bit of an odd family, but we're a family no matter what."

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Eh. Calypso, despite actually sometimes being really quite brave.. She doesn't make a whole lot of sense at times. Also.. *Shakes Lupis* DAMMIT, THE DUSK HAS GOTTEN TO HER TOO!! *Flails*))

Ghost started pacing back and forth again, whimpering slightly. As much as she wanted this war to end... She'd never be ready to face her own friend, heck, her sister, in battle.

[Magnakilro]

Pinsir looked at Lira, "Really?"

He then looked at Aeris, "Can she come too?"

[Moonlost]

Olga sat up as she saw the two pokemon return; Shyra chirped in greeting to them.
"Did you find your answers, young dragon?" The older woman asked Cro once they teleported, looking down at him, her face a mix of concern and curiosity.

~

The plant seemed to almost screech as the fires burned it's body, letting go of the Vaporeon and reeling back, recalling all it's vines.

Venin fell to the ground with a thump. She grunted as she rose to her feet, winded as opposed to injured.
"Thanks Phantom," She said, her voice stangely quiet. "Are... are you hurt any?" She could feel herself shaking. Damned plants...

The Thorn plant, gathered itself, forming into a large ball before shaping itself into a monstosity. A featureless face glared down at the two eeveelutions, opening a mouth full of razor sharp thorns to hiss at them.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Phantom ran to Venin and nuzzled her, "Yeah I'm fine... It's you who we should be worried about. That thing may be strong, but it does a lot less damage to me than you--" He was cut off as the plant-thing hissed, ".... Okay, this is seriously getting ridiculous."

[Azunara]

Solara snarled, baring her teeth. She wouldn't regret killing them. "Traitors!" She snapped after them, tail lashing. She dug her claws into the ground, gritting her teeth. "Idiots," She replied. "Who can they think they're doing the right thing?" She paced, impatient.

---

Cro nodded slightly at the Elder and her pokemon. "Yes, ma'am." He replied quietly.

[Kira]

Lira let out a little laugh. "She's already joined us silly!"
Aeris giggled as she nodded. "I did! They're really nice, and Keri makes the Best...what are they called?" She blinked at Med, who chuckled.
"Poffins Aeris, we call them poffins."

[Lupis]

(( *Is shaken* Ack! What! Sorry? xD I tend to play the evil characters and them make them complicated. X.x Sorry about that by the way. Somehow I took Savage Killers and made it... A few Savage Killers and a lot of Determined Peace Seekers. Um... Also, making up a few characters to be in the distraction team. Azu, you can control some of them if ya want, or make your own, I dun care. Or anyone else really. Just... They're choosing strong Dusk that are good at speaking and aren't the Savage Killer types.
Also, how did anyone know there was going to be a battle besides the Dusk? O.o))

A Crescenteon spoke up. "I'll be in the distraction group."

Buzzard sighed. I don't know what they're thinking, or who they think they're helping. But I can't stand hearing them anymore.

[Azunara]

((Apparently, with Kamimpi's crystal, they're assuming the war is ending. Most Dawn just went, "Oh. War is ending? Must be a huge battle. Right! That makes sense!" And I can control one or two. Sol isn't much of a determined peace-maker. She'll let Buzzard do the talking. >.>))

"As will us," Two more voices added. An Arkinound and a Starawk. The Arkinound was huge, flames licking from his paws and his tail was on fire, as was his mane. Huge fangs jutted from its jaw. (Evolved form of Arcananine.) As well, a large bird with huge, dark wings, a large sharp razor crest, sharp talons and razor sharp tail-blades spoke up. (Evolved form of Staraptor.) Solara flicked her tail, watching.

[Magnakilro]

Pinsir smiled, "Count me in!"

[Lupis]

((...But they don't even know that Carrion has one of the crystals. O.o Unless Earthia spread the word. So I would think that they would say, "Oh, the war is ending? We must be curing them."
Bah, whatever. >.> Just nit-picking like usual.))

Buzzard nodded at the two. The Crescenteon smiled.

Flashfire looked up and nodded. "I'll go." She was now a Uniferno, her form taller and slimmer, with several horns coming from her snout. Flames danced in her eyes, and made up the majority of her fur. Her hooves had turned two-toed, each tip razor sharp.

Scarab nodded. "Will there be any more?"

[Azunara]

((Bah. No one ever said the Dawn and Sunrise paid attention to details. xD They're going to be really disappointed when the Dusk attack, and the Sunrise sit there and go, "Oh. Hey. ...We need a crystal. Crap..."))

[rubybeam]

"Ahhhhh you guys are forgetting me I'm coming too" quest ran up saying

[Moonlost]

Baaz looked about the camp. Everywhere he looked he saw people enjoying the small moments of time they had. Not to mention that their camp had grown expenenetially, everywhere he looked, he saw new faces, human and pokemon alike. The Arcanine found himself swept up in the mood, and lowered his head to nuzzle Lilith.
"I love you," He said, wondering if this was the first time he had spoken these words out aloud. "Once this is over, I wish to remain by your side, whatever you choose to do. I shall be your shield to keep you from harm, your sword to punish those who would dare wish you harm." He wondered if he was being a little overly melodramatic, but found he didn't care much if he was.

~

Venin made a cry that was half hiss and half whimper. Takign a few steps back, she fired yet anothe ice beam at the plant, freezing one of it's "limbs".

The Thorn Plant let loose a hollow cry as it's arm froze. Fresh vined couled out from it's center to form another limb, while the frozen one was shuffled behind, turnign it into a sort of tail. It then swung forward at Phantom with a large, writhing, thorny arm.

Thorn Plant Monster used Needle Arm!

~

Seventeen stopped, ears pricked up. She could hear the voices of her kin inside her mind, calling.
"What izzit Seven?" Gamin asked, stopping next to her. The Voltectric barked, then ran back where they had come from.
"We just gonna let Venin go?" Gamin called out as he sprinted beside her, barely able to keep up. Seventeen lowered ehr ears and clicked her teeth. Their deaths would come later, their kin called now. Gamin grunted, a little unhappy at missing the chance to tear venin a new one. But his mate was right he supposed. It wasn't like they couldn't track them down later.

~

Olga smiled down at him.
"Make sure that this does not shape who you are, young Lord of Time. Your past self is but a single thread in the tapestry of who you are. I would hate to see those eyes of yours haunted by memories that are not entirely your own."
With a revered bow, she shuffled off. The Xatu shuffled forward, getly touching Cro with her beak. She chirped softly, briefly touching his mind with hers before moving off to follow her mistress.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Phantom snarled, launching himself foward at the attacking mass of vines, flames again swirling around him.

Phantom used Flare Blitz!

[Azunara]

Cro watched them leave, giving a slight nod. They were right...He couldn't let that bother him. He had a family, and even if they weren't family by blood...They still cared for him, right? And that's what mattered? He smiled a bit. Right.

---

The Arkinound, Xeyvron ((Anyone old WoDers remember him? Totally occurred to me just now, thought it would be neat.)) and the Starawk, Lukria, looked around, ready as well. Solara flicked her tail, clicking her claws on the ground with slight impatience.

((And I think I'll call it a night. Don't start the attack without me. D:))
