Rise of the Shadows!

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys began charging up a Psycho Boost, his chest lighting up.

[Kamalia]

Julius continued his rocking. He swept his tails around Rust. "Hey little buddy." He offered him a weak smile. "I'm glad to see that you're okay."

Molly looked at Shia, though not without doing a double take at Delora's appearance. "I... think he'll be okay. His wounds seem to be healing, if very slowly. He's very weak; I highly doubt he'll be able to fight in this condition. It would be a good idea to get him away from the fighting for now."

Taia bared her teeth. This attack again? Her back still spewing and burning, she turned around so that it was facing Deoxys. She began to gather up her strength to use Explosion again, this time directly at him.

[Kira]

Ciro moved over to his father and floated up so that he was level with his chest. He began to charge his own Psycho Boost, the oval on his forehead glowing faintly.

Shia nodded, growling quietly as she stood up. "I can help take him out of here."
"Molly, can you give Shia's rib a quick heal? It's broken and-Who in the World is that attacking my Mate and Son?!" Delora let out a snarl before she raced off again, fur bristling in annoyance.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys looked down to his son, "Ok son...on the count of 3...

1.....


2.....

3...."

He unleashed the energy he charged up

[Kamalia]

Molly gave Delora a quick nod, moving her hands to rest above Shia's injured side.

Molly used Wish!

"It'll take effect in a few moments." She murmured before turning her attention back to Iron.

Taia blinked at the sight of an evolved Dusk Absol running up to her. Good, she looked powerful. She grinned to herself. "Sister! I found one of the leaders!" She called out. "Help me get rid of him! I'm sure Scarab will be more than happy with us." She chuckled to herself. "Let's see that Psyceon take down a leader. All she's concerned about are the weak and path - " She let out a screech at the immense attack from behind her. She was propelled forward, tumbling and rolling. She looked up at Delora. "Sister! Help me! I can't take him on my own. Don't just stand there!" She bellowed.

[Kira]

Ciro let out his Boost right after his fathers, watching as it hit the Dusk and pouting. "Darn it dad."

Delora looked down at Taia, her head tilting as she blinked slowly. Her paw moved out to her neck, almost softly and seeming to radiate calm. "Don't worry...I always help my family.." Her claws dug into Taia's neck, shadow erupting around them. "Too damn bad your not my family!" She ripped her claws as hard as she could, snarling.
Delora used Shadow Claw!

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys's eyes widened at the sight of Delora, "I-Is that your mother?"

[Kamalia]

Taia cringed as the second Psycho Boost hit her. "Well then get your tail over there and..." Her voice faltered at her words and the feeling of claws pricking into her skin. Her eyes widened in shock. She opened her mouth to say something but all that came out was a sickening gurgle as Delora tore into her throat. She seemed to try and swallow several times as her blood poured forth, her body becoming rigid with panic. She tossed her head and tried to lunge at Delora and gave her a weak swipe. The flames on her back sputtered and went out and her eyes rolled back as she thudded to the ground. She lay still, a pool of her off-colour Dusk blood forming around her head and her back expelling a foul, oily smoke.

Taia has died!

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost whimpered, laying down next to Iron.

Rust squeaked curiously at Julius. "Meep? Meep!! Meep meep meep meeeeep!!!"

((Meep language XD

.... Also.. *Clings to Iron* DON'T DIIIIEEEEEEEEE D: D: D: D:))

[Kira]

Delora padded over to Deoxys and Ciro, leaving Taia's corpse behind. "Glad to see you two working together. It's really cute."
Ciro blinked at his mother, his head tilted. "Mommy?"
"Yes sweetie?"
"It is you!" Ciro squeaked before he lept at his mother, knocking her to the ground and gasping. "Your a lot fluffier mom! Your fur grew!"
Delora smiled and licked Ciro on the cheek gently. "Yes it did."

(( Oooh, just realized that's a horrible way to let someone die...*Pats Taia's ghost* I'm sorry ))

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys walked over to Delora, "How...?"

[Kamalia]

((*Taia's ghost gives Kira a sour look*))

Julius gave Rust a half-hearted chuckle. "Wish I could understand 'Meepish'. Miss Molly says he's going to be okay..." He grew quiet, praying for Iron to respond in some way.

[Magnakilro]

Iron twitched a little with a pained whine.

[Kira]

(( ...*Offers plate of cookies* ))

Delora shifted, letting Ciro fall off gently before she stood up, her tail flicking. "Shia and I decided to go check on the human while all the dusk were here. To make a long story short, ghosts attacked us, the human went crazy, ended up dying, then when I went back to destory his lab I ended up getting caught in a wave of virus. Ended up turning into this. I like it to be honest."

Shia streched herself out and smiled, not in as much pain. "Thank you Ms. Molly."

[Magnakilro]

"Well you certainly are even more beautiful now....I'll give you that!" He gave her a hug, "Thanks for the help..."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost perked up as Iron moved slightly. She nuzzled him again, hoping that it'd help him wake up.

"Meep? Meep!!" Rust squeaked, tilting his head. He then trotted over and sat down beside his mom.

[Magnakilro]

Iron's eyes opened slowly. He scratched, "Everything hurts....."

[Kira]

Delora smiled and nuzzled him gently, closing her eyes for a moment. "Anytime love...no one hurts my family and gets away with it!" She said seriously as she grinned, ignoring the blush on her cheeks, and the fact that her fur seemed to be puffed up a little bit.

(( I was going to make her floof, but I figured I'd better not steal Rikki's signature move. And with this I'm off for the night! See you all tomorrow ))

[Kamalia]

((*Taia's ghost grumbles, grabs plate of cookies and proceeds to nom nom in a sulky manner*))

Molly gave her a little nod. "You're very welcome." She looked at Iron's family members. "Perhaps you should help Shia move him? I'm sure you'll want to be with him. Plus he, ah, looks a bit heavy and I think she could use some help." She gave Ghost a wan smile.
Julius got up and nuzzled Iron's face, relieved. "We're right here, Iron."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost blinked, then absolutely flung herself at Iron, wrapping her paws around him in a tight hug. "Oh Iron! I'm so glad you're okay...." She cried, nuzzling him.
