Rise of the Shadows!

[Azunara]

Speck was thoughtful, "I don't know. They're silent, haven't bothered me since that nacho cheese joke. I think I'll be fine, and I'll be a better help to those Infected. Besides, you and Dialga will have to put less energy trying to put shields around me, since I'm Infected." Speck was cheerful, she didn't seem too worried at all.

Eleredar paced, restless from where he was.

---

Dialga was somewhere in the timeline, cursing his cowardice and trying to recuperate as fast as he could.

Solara nodded, adding her encouragement to the others.

[Saturo]

Darkrai ended the energy in the Dark Void.
"If you say so...", he said, thoughtful.

[Lupis]

((Baaack. I have to read two chapters of history and take notes on it, as well as do some math, so I might be a bit distracted. Also, I was ordered not to spend my entire day on the computer again... I'll be taking a few breaks. But I'll try to be on as much as I can. ^.^))

[Moonlost]

((I feel your pain Kira XD Hopefully Senna is still open for them.
On a side note, I'm not entirely sure if sleeping counts as using the Rest ability... but I'm gonna assume it does, because "Seventeed limped about for the next month or so" is a little boring. ))

Seventeen woke, stretched and yawned. She felt refreshed and strong again, she quickly looked about. The Eeveelutions and a few others were missing, but her Alpha was up and about. Excelent.

She walked into the dusk army, sniffing about, searching, nipping at a few of her kin as she moved past. Not good enough... She continued this as she stalked along, deep in thought.
As focused as the dusk had become under the guide of her alpha, they were still unorganised. They moved as individuals, fighting with ferocity and cunning to be sure, but not so much as an organised team. Her alpha could rally others to his side as support when he needed it, but on the whole there was no advanced tactics being used.To be fair, with the numbers of dusk they had amassed, trying to organise them into a unified fighting force would take a lot of time. More than they had what with those uncorrupted seeking out a cure.
What they needed now was a smaller, organised force; a strike team. A pack. Pokemon who could understand her slightest movements and respond in unison. And, perhaps, pokemon who could explain her thoughts to the Alpha in direct words.

A scent caught her attention. She smiled, and tracked it down.

[Magnakilro]

Chomp looked at the portal, "Ok...."

He jumped in.

[Saturo]

The Unown quickly dove in after.
"Hold on to us, you'll get lost!"

[Magnakilro]

Chomp grabbed on to the closest Unown he could reach.

[Saturo]

THe Unown quickly navigated their way trough the odd dimension. Space itself seemed to twist in this strange world, and other Unown gathered around the small group, giving them small mental nudges.
"Here it is. Open the portal.", the leader said, and one of the Unown burst to action, and opened a rift. The large group of Unown that had gathered around them seemed curious, but didn't follow the Unown and Chomp trough the portal.
They reappeared right in front of Darkrai.
"What the?", he started, before realizing. "You have it!?", he asked Chomp.

[Magnakilro]

Chomp was a little disoriented. He shook himself off and pulled out the device, "Here it is!"

[Saturo]

Darkrai took the gem from Chomp gratiously. "So, what do you say, Feraligatr? Shall we bring in some much needed reinforcements?"
The Unown chirped happily.

[Magnakilro]

Chomp nodded, "Do it!"

[Saturo]

Darkrai tossed the gem into the air and blasted it with a Dark Pulse. "It works as a beacon.", he explained. "The Pulse allows those loyal to me to recognize my summoning."
The Unown started rotating around the area the gem fell down on, and it stopped, hovering in the air. A rift opened, and Unown started to stream in, surveying the area with Psychic nudges.
"Now that we're attuned with the gem again, we will be able to open portals at will."
"Indeed.", Darkrai continued. "We need to keep it somewhere safe..."

[Magnakilro]

Chomp nodded, "I'm gonna go check on the others...."

[Azunara]

Speck perched besides Solara. The haunter was, in spite of it all, in a good mood. Sol and Sparky were being cured, Dialga and Darkrai were safe, and it looked like just maybe they could win, they had a chance. Solara seemed a bit irritable, but beyond that was fine.

[Magnakilro]

Chomp spotted Speck and Sol, "Hey guys, how's everything goin?"

[Azunara]

Solara blinked, dragged out of her thoughts. "Huh-wha? Oh, good." Speck however, was more talkative. "Great! I think I was Infected, but it turns out the Voices really don't like nacho cheese jokes."

[Saturo]

Darkrai facepalmed. "You're the only one I know that would come up with the idea of curing an infection with nacho cheese jokes, Speck."

[Azunara]

((Hm. Speck is slowly starting to overtake Sol as favorite character. She's fun to RP. xD Sol's just grumpy.))

Speck grinned brightly, "Well, now we know. They lack a sense of humor."

[Magnakilro]

Chomp laughed, "May not be permanent but if it works..I say go for it!"

Chomp looked at Sparky, who was still hugging Jingle and crying "Is he ok?"

[Saturo]

"Hmm... Could you check if they like this joke? "What did the mermaid do last Sunday night? She went to SEA a movie!"", Darkrai exclaimed and started laughing.
