"EHHHHHHH!whattonameitwhatwillhappenwhatifitwantsasisterdotheymilkfeedatfirstsoooomanyquestionsBUTWHATIFITSSHINY!oohnevermindahhh!" guni was preatty much running around herself not in cirlces though she wasn't paying attention

[Lupis]

Buzzard looked at the hole in the ground, then carefully lifted Scarab's body and put it in. "Dream of victory," he said quietly. We have to burry Vulture and Carrion next.

Scarab blinked at Hands. He didn't remember any time not being friendly with the noctowl. Then again, there was a lot he didn't remember, apparently. How he had died was beyond his imagining.
The bird spirit watched Scarab closely, carefully. After a moment, she hooted softly, and took her rightful place on his shoulder. He was dead. No fact could crush her any more, nor make her happier. Yes. He was dead, and she was dead, and the madness was finally over. And in the end they had won. Not the battle they thought they had been fighting, but they had won none the less.

((That was epic. Thank you for that. And now, I'm going to collapse for tonight. Maybe try and stop being completely depressed/happy and actually become sane again. xD))

[Senna-Umbreon]

Phantom sighed, wrapping his three tails around Venin. "Well... Hey.. Look on the bright side.. No more fighting. That's good, right? Cause.. We won't have to worry about a whole damn army that's pretty much out to kill us.. ..... .........." He trailed off, unsure of how to cheer the Vaporeon up.

((And just like Ghost.. Phantom fails completely at comforting people. Now.. Time to get back to the characters that I've forgotten!!!))

-

Terrakion let out a sigh, both of boredom and relief. He then trotted over to Cobalon, who was still unconcious. "Hey Cobalon... Wake up... ... .. Wake uuuuuuuuuuppppppp! .... WAKE THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!"

"WHATWHEREHOW?!" Cobalon screeched as he jolted awake. "... Oh. It's you. ... Idiot."

"You're the idiot."

"How am I the idiot?! YOU'RE the idiot!!"

"AM NOT! YOU'RE THE IDIOT!!!"

"NO YOU ARE!!!"

"NO YOU!!!"

Vizirion would have facepalmed if able to. "And Cobalon says ME and Terrakion argue a lot... ... Ack! I forgot!" He whirled around, then galloped over to Keldeo, who had recently woken up.

"... Virizion..? What happened...? Did we win...?" The little water horse asked, blinking.

"Yep. We won." Virizion replied, grinning.

"Yay! That's good!"

"Heh. Yep."

"NO YOU'RE THE IDIOT!"

"NO YOU ARE!!!"

"... They're STILL arguing?!"

((XD I love these guys. They're so much fun to RP lol))

-

"We.. Won?" Maya blinked, starting to grin.

"It.. Looks like it." Lyell replied.

"WHOO!!!" Maya cheered, floating around happily.

"It's good that we won... Nothing good would have come if the Dusk won." Calypso added, watching her sister twirl around in the air.

Lyell nodded, "I'll say."

Hannibal scuttled over to his team, "You guys are all okay!! I was worried I'd come back to someone being hurt..."

"Yep. We're all oka--" Lyell started saying, then stopped abruptly, "... Wait.. Has anyone seen Stormie?"

Hannibal and the two Ghost type sisters stopped, glancing at each other. Maya then suddenly burst out shrieking, "SHE'SDEAAAAAAAAAADDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"We.. Don't know that yet..." Lyell sighed.

"BUTBUTBUT... IF SHE WAS OKAY, SHE'D BE HERE! SO.. SHE'SDEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!" The Shandera continued to shriek.

"The hell? Who's dead?" A voice from behind the four asked, causing them all to turn. They were greeted by the sight of a Kojondo. "Seriously? Who's dead?"

"STORMIIIEEEEE!!! YOU'RENOTDEEEAAAAAAAAAD!!!!" Maya shrieked happily, floating over to Stormie and floating around her excitedly.

Stormie raised an eyebrow, "I disappear for a bit and you all suddenly assume I'm dead? Jeez!"

"Heh.. I didn't think you were. Maya did, though, as you can see." Lyell replied.

"Not surprising, really. But seriously, try not jumping to conclusions next time!"

"Hehe, we won't. Or at least.. We'll try not to."

"Good."

((I also love these guys. Maya is officially amazing when she's freaking out XD))

-

Arinei let out a caw as he flew down to where Rikki and Chomp were, Hanaki fast asleep on his back. "Hey you two. Good to see you survived."

"... I never thought I'd hear you say that, Arinei." Rikki laughed.

"Hey. People change."

"Good point."

-

Pan blinked, looking around, "Well... .. Didn't take that much to defeat them. Heh, fail." He laughed.

((*Facepalms* Oh Pan.....))

[Kira]

Daray began to help the other pokemon to find family or friends, feeling soulsick about just how many had-"Oh what in the name of Arceus are You doing here?!"
"Is Kyuu alright?" Mewtwo asked, looking over at Daray.
"From what I saw yeah...but..why..?"
"Ikis." Mewtwo seemed to relax, closing his eyes. "So long as she's alright.."

---

Taly ended up running into Guni and tumbling to the ground. He looked over at the egg and..felt very calm all of a sudden. He padded over to it and sat down, his tail flicking. "We'll be alright..."

[Magnakilro]

Iron sighed with relief as the war seemed to end.

He laid his head down and whimpered from the pain he was in.

Jaws hugged Olivia, "Holy crap! It's over!"

Genosect just sat emotionlessly. He looked around at the former Dusk.

Pinsir looked up at Aeris, "Heh...this'll make one hell of a news report...."

Lilith slowly got up, shaking herself off and wincing.

Demonica sighed, it was all over. Her mind was back to normal, and she was cured. She smiled, "I think I'm going home now....you want to come Rosen?"

The Beedrills all flew off to build a new hive.

[Kira]

Aeris giggled and nodded at Pinsir, giving him a nuzzle. "Yes, it most definatly will."

Kyuu put both her paws on Mewtwo's chest and closed her eyes, starting to humm quietly.

(( I need sleep...please don't end this yet, I've got to bring Mewtwo back, or at least have Kyuu try...haven't decided the outcome yet. ))

[Moonlost]

Venin chuckled, reaching up to gently nip Phantom's ear. "You can be an idiot at times, you know that?" She ran her tongue along the bridge of his muzzle. "I'm fine, just a little shaken I suppose. It'll be nice not having to worry about being attacked for a while."
She blinked, suddenly remembering about the Hounds. She turned to took at Seventeen, half expecting her to be charging towards them with teeth bared, determined to have retribution for Scarab's death. The sight of her whimpering and crying in Gamin's neck was, on the other hand, not at all what she was expecting. She felt more unnerved at that than the voices disappearing.

~

Baaz sighd in relief, pulling Lilith close with a paw. "I think it's over..." He said softly, beding his head down. "We... we can stop fighting now." He sighed, letting the healing warmth of the sun wash though the two of them one more time.

Baaz used Morning Sun!

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost let out a whimper, and turned to nuzzle Iron, her markings glowing once again.

Ghost used Moonlight!

Rust blinked and finally let the forcefield disappear. He turned and walked over to his parents, ".... Daddy...? Are you okay..?" He asked, then stopped, slightly taken aback at how different his voice sounded.

-

"Heh. An idiot at times? I thought I was always an idiot?" Phantom replied, grinning. He then followed Venin's gaze, and blinked as he saw Gamin and Seventeen, "Well... I guess we won't have to worry about them mauling us... For now, that is."

[Magnakilro]

Iron scratched, "I'm fine son...I'm just glad you and your mother are ok as well..."

Lilith licked Baaz on the nose and asked, "What are we going to do about the others?"

[Senna-Umbreon]

Rust let out a squeak, whimpering. "But... You're hurt... How can you be fine if you're hurt..?" He asked, letting out another squeak.

[Moonlost]

A fair distance away, Shyra the Xatu sung a single, joyous note. The nightmare was over. Olga sighed in relief, hugging Shyra happily. Other humans celebrated too, weeping in joy in the knowledge that they could start to rebuild their old lives again without the fear of being attacked by the rabid pokemon.

Holly clutched at her crystal, focusing on it, making sure that Daray and Molly were safe. She couldn't feel anything different about it. Did that mean they were okay? She hoped so, waiting cross legged on the floor for them to reappear, clutching at Apple's tail-hand for comfort.

~

Psychosis found himself in the middle of the former battle. Thoughts assaulted him, many joyous, many in despair. He recoiled his mind back, sinking into his own thoughts. He moved over to a small rock and climbed up it, sitting cross legged to watch the passers by as they revelled or wept at the sudden lull of combat.

~

"I don't rightly know, my love..." Baaz said, looking about. "I think... we should find those of us stong enough to heal to aid those injured. All of us now I guess, it'd feel wrong to exclude the former Dusk now. From there? I guess that's something we all need to think about."

((Sorry if that's not what Lilith meant :S ))

~

"I guess so..." Venin moved closer to Phantom, resting her head on his shoulder. She suddenly felt tired and thick tongued.
"Thanks for not dying Fuzzy." She said with a sigh.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Phantom grinned slightly, "Hey.. I already told ya.. I'm not about to get killed by some stupid Dusk!"

[Moonlost]

"Well, not any more anyway." Venin chuckled back.

[Senna-Umbreon]

"Hah hah. Very funny. .... But you do have a point." Phantom replied, laughing.

[Kamalia]

((I feel so sorry for the Dusk right now. ;_;))

Olivia let out an overjoyed shriek. "We did it, we did it! We survived!" She returned his hug then reached up to grab onto his torpedo-like horns, pulling his face down and kissing him.

Julius nudged the much bigger Rust with his snout. He grinned tiredly at his little brother. "Look at you, buddy! I guess good looks run in the family. It's going to be fun keeping the ladies from swarming you when you grow up." He chuckled and gave him a nudge before lying down next to Iron. He blew some soothing water over Iron's wounds.

Julius used Aqua Ring!

Molly nodded wordlessly at Daray, squeezing his hand before he phased to the other side. She looked over the battle torn armies, silent. She could sense an aching pain from the sorrow that radiated all around her. What unnerved her most was that much of it came from the Dusk. The army, so bloodthirsty and unstoppable mere minutes ago, had turned into one big group of Pokémon looking utterly lost and hopeless. She could see some, like the Manectric in front of her, looking like they had been completely broken. She rubbed her arms, looking down at the ground. She then closed her eyes, focusing on the positive feelings she could find and pulling them into herself. A soft, invisible wave pulsed out from her in all directions, carrying a vague feeling of warmth that entered those it washed over. It was not nearly powerful enough to heal so many, but it would perhaps help bring some feeling of comfort or calm to those caught in the pulse.

Molly used Healing Wave!

Feeling exhausted, she felt a small tug at the back of her mind. She blinked, reaching out to it. Whatever had caused the tug was far away and it was a bit difficult to find, especially in her weakened state. Nevertheless she pushed forward until she had come into faint contact. ...Holly? Is that you? If it is... we're okay. Her voice was faint but it came across.

[Azunara]

Solara nodded at Buzzard dejectedly, but she lead the way to where she guessed he had died. Looking at the cellar now, she gave a slight shudder. It was cold, and dark, and sad. Hopeless.

[Lupis]

Buzzard immediately found the bones of Carrion, burnt and fleshless. The fire had taken care of that. Glad that the floor of the cellar was dirt, he dug a grave and gently put the bones in. "You won, bro. You saved them." With that he filled in the grave. The congregation of Dusk here was much smaller - most of the past army was still gathered around the grave of Scarab.
One more.

[Azunara]

Solara nodded, flicking her tail and giving a soft cry at Carrion's grave. He shouldn't be dead. It wasn't fair. She allowed Buzzard to take the lead, looking at the grave sadly.

[Lupis]

Buzzard lead the way to Vulture, shuddering at the sight of the Charizard's battered body. He dug a grave in a nearby park, then lifted the body and put it in. "Thank you for inspiring us." He filled it in, taking a moment to mourn in his mind. That was it. All of his blood-related family. Then turned to Solara, speaking in her mind. What will you do now? Return to your mate?

[Kira]

Daray felt the tug in his mind, looking confused for a moment before he blinked. Holly. He gave a little smile and sent out a sort of mental hug to the girl before he went back to helping the ones that had passed.

---

Kyuu kept her eyes closed, focused on her Mate more than anything else. Her ears flattened to her skull as drowned out everyone else, the glow covering herself and Mewtwo. The humming began a bit louded as she felt her energy pouring into the form before her.
Delora sat by her, not about to move. Her tail gave a tiny flick as she watched the pair glowing and she sent a silent wish to Arceus that it would work out, for everyone that had been involved.
