Rise of the Shadows!

[rubybeam]

The crystal seemed to come back to life once again, it sensed the heat and shivered, it was ment to be a bug type after all

[Lupis]

Carrion looked down at the crystal, almost teary-eyed. He huddled down in the burning room and hugged the crystal close, both keeping it from getting away and using it for security - Vulture had died for it.
((Crap, now I feel really guilty for killing Vulture. >.<))

[rubybeam]

The crystal seemed to actually accept that carrion was sad and rather drew closer to the dragon as if to say 'you aren't alone anymore'

[Lupis]

Carrion tried to think, gladly welcoming the comfort of the crystal. What could he do now? Hiding forever wouldn't work - they'd find him eventually. And when they did, what could he do? Just give them the crystal and forsake everything Vulture had died for? Immediately he knew that wasn't an option. But then, the only other option was to keep running until he was hunted down and killed. Vulture hadn't died for him to get killed. He could... hide the crystal? But it moved on its own, and at the moment he didn't really want to be alone, even if his only company was the crystal.
His grief-ridden mind told him that just sitting in the burning building and burning to death was an option too, but that went back to option one - letting the attackers have it.
Frustrated and depressed, he just huddled, staring blankly into the flames.

[Magnakilro]

Pinsir hissed. He'd help fight, but first....he wanted to find Zin's murders and get revenge. "Did anyone here see who killed Zincano?"

[rubybeam]

Earthia frowned "No sorry" she replied to pinsir

[Magnakilro]

Pinsir sighed, "Well...thanks anyway..."

He ran off to find the murderers.

Chomp stood next to Rikki, "This needs to end soon....don't know how long we can last...."

Deoxys charged up a Psycho Boost, chest glowing.

Arachne still stood on Rayge, flinging attacks.

Iron was still in great pain but he stood protectively in front of Molly, Venin, Shia and his family.

Jaws still held Olivia, "I promise you this...we will get through this mess....I don't know how...but we will!"

[Lupis]

((*Speeds things up*))
To Carrion's further depression, rain began to fall on the burning town. It pelted down, killing the flames that had protected him. Whining softly, he stood, still holding the crystal close to his chest, and began sliding through the shadows of the town, hoping to stay out of sight. The flame on his tail had gone out, at least, so that helped him stay out of sight.

[Kira]

Ciro floated up by his father, beginning to charge his own Psycho Boost. Ketsin and Theia joined them, all of the children smiling.

Rayge made sure to not move too far, allowing Arachne to stay on his head as he attacked the Dusk.

Mewtwo glared at Flashfire, attacking her with a wave of Psychic energy.
Mewtwo used Psychic

Kyuu and Terra had managed to knock Ikis off his feet, but he had gotten up quickly, and the pair were starting to tire.

Shia moved up beside Iron and let out a soft growl. "I'm not letting you be a shield when your so hurt. Go lay down."

[Senna-Umbreon]

((*Once again has Ghost gnawing on her arm* .. Perhaps it actually time to post >.>))

Rikki nodded, "Yeah..."

Ghost looked up at Iron, "And what the heck do you think you're doing?! You're too injured to fight!! But..." She paused, "... I get the feeling that's not going to stop you. So... I guess I'm left with just making sure you don't die." As she spoke, her markings started glowing brightly.

Ghost used Moonlight!

"There. That'll help... Hopefully..." She trailed off, a fairly worried expression on her face.

((*Gets Charge Beam'd* ACKWHATTHE.. .. Wait. I FORGOT THAT PAN EVEN EXISTED!!! >.< *Facepalms, then gets Charge Beam'd by Pan again*))

Pan growled, facing off against a Swampert-like Dusk. He cursed in frustration. This wasn't going to end well... After a moment's hesitation, he whirled around and zoomed away, swerving towards Ghost's family as he spotted them.

[Magnakilro]

Iron felt some of the pain leave his body. He roared savagely at nearby Dusk. He was ready to fight, despite the pain.

Deoxys called out, "OK EVERYONE! ON THREE!"

He began the count, "ONE!"

[Lupis]

((Question - what Dusk are Deo and the kids close enough to hit? I'm not sure where they are...))

[Magnakilro]

((hmmm...that I'll leave up to everyone else...if you want your dusk chars to be nailed by a Family Psycho Boost...be my guest...otherwise, it'll be random generic Dusk no one cares about XD))

[Lupis]

((PHEWWW!!!!! xD xD I was afraid all our Dusk characters were going to get completely destroyed. xD I dun want Buzzard to get hit by another uber powerful attack already.))

Flashfire whinnied in pain, getting a bit weaker. Still, she felt confident she could take him down... She charged at him again, stabbing.
Flashfire uses Flame Blitz!
Flashfire uses Megahorn!

[Kira]

Mewtwo blocked the Flame Blitz, but the Megahorn shattered his shield and pierced his shoulder. He let out a half pysical half psychic scream of pain, letting his power simply erupt from him to try and blast Flashfire backward.

Kyuu snapped her head up at the scream, her ears perking straight before she yelped herself, Ikis hitting her with a Psybeam and knocking her to the ground.

[Lupis]

Flashfire wasn't expecting the blast of energy and was thrown back, landing in a heap. Wincing, she staggered to her feet, but had a feeling that charging at him again wouldn't be a good idea.

[rubybeam]

Flashfire was soon also attacked by the group of honn creatures who ventured into battle by 'accident'

Puza used muddy water!
Dread used arieal ace!
Tenshi used sky uppercut!
Una used flamethrower!
Acorn used rock slide!
X used headbutt!

((For now they will be attacking random dusk))

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys yelled out, "TWO!"

[Lupis]

Flashfire screamed in pain, kicking out and letting fire pulse out to stun her attackers.
Flashfire uses Purgatory!
She tried to leap away.
Flashfire uses Bounce!

[Kamalia]

Olivia closed her eyes, trying her hardest to recuperate and ignore her pain. "I hope you're right."

Molly stood in a defensive stance. Her eyes flicked in all directions as she tried to reach out and heal her injured comrades while still keeping an eye on the circling Hounds.
