Dawn of the Blessing (Open RP) (Johto)

[Falcon]

Catharsis - Burned Tower

It was more the presence of Solara and the fact that no fights had broken out yet that helped to calm the panicked Yveltal-Blessed than the Morning Sun did, and Catharsis moved to curl up in a tight ball, her tails covering her like a blanket as she remained huddled there, eyes wide and heart racing.

[Azunara]

Solara
Burned Tower

The wraitheon let out a quiet sigh, slowly moving closer to Catharsis so as to not startle her. She sat down next to the Yvetal-blessed, spreading her wings to block the sight and sound of the commotion around them some so as to try and comfort her. Man, how did she always get stuck with this job? She wasn't good at making people feel better. "Listen. It's gonna be okay. Those people outside aren't gonna hurt you, I'm not gonna let 'em. Just take a deep breath, got it?"

[TK-Hikaru13]

{SO SO SO SORRY FOR BEING SO LATE}

Steve, Luci and Cypress

Cypress almost immediately started screaming at the sight of the Yvetal. "HE'S GONNA EAT ME!" He shouted, going to bolt before Luci managed to calm him down.

"We're going to be fine. He wants to talk not eat." Luci assured. Steve stepped forward, bowing his head.

"Hello Holy One. I truely wish I could explain what's happening here myself. But I cannot." Steve explained.

[Moonlost]

Venin - Burned tower

The vaporeon allowed her fur to smooth down a little, curling her tail around to cover her forepaws. Well, good to know that the good feelings from the end of the whole Dusk thing were still in effect. But she knew damn well that it was hard to let go of a grudge, especially one that ran so deep in their shared past. Never hurt to be cautious.
"Death looks good on you anyway Ghost." Venin smirked, a lightly teasing note in her voice. "Didn't know being a zombie came with having wings and growing taller. Just let us know when that urge to eat brains starts to kick in."

Still, as nice as the family reunion was, there was still a matter that needed answering.
"So, what is up with the angry mob? And is are there any other refugees here or were the dumb-dumbs wrong about that?"

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost Girl, Phantom - Burned Tower

"Oh. That." Ghost paused at Venin's question, glancing towards the entrance of the tower. "Well, first off, there were a bunch of refugees here, but our resident Ho-Oh, Forrest, took them north of here, so they wouldn't be bothering us for the rest of our lives. And.. Your guess is as good as mine on the angry mob thing. Sol and I have no clue what's going on with them." She turned her gaze back to Venin and Phantom, her grin returning, "And oh, trust me, I'll make sure you two are the first to know when I feel like eating brains. You'll get first-hand experience to prove it, too! Although," Her grin grew wider, "I gotta say, Phantom, you'll be quite the disappointing first meal. Your brain is far too small to even count as a snack!"

Phantom let out a groan, rolling his eyes, "Arceus, I wish you had stayed dead."

[Falcon]

Catharsis - Burned Tower

"I... I don't know what to do anymore..." Catharsis's voice was nothing but a whisper, before she slowly raised her head to meet Solara's gaze. "If I go back, they will kill me..." Her eyes fell closed for a few long moments before the Ninetales slowly drew herself up into a sitting position, though she kept her head down. "I was not entirely myself before... He had my mind in a cage..."

Vethrfolnir - Outside the tower

Yep, that was the reaction he was used to. Veth held back a sigh when the Venusaur started screaming his head off, but when the Gogoat showed absolutely no fear, the Yveltal paused, staring at him with a look of disbelief.

'Holy One... Nobody has ever called me that,' he thought, wishing he could physically smile.

"I understand," he said quietly, before he turned his gaze towards the mass of gathered Pokemon. Of all the words he heard the most, 'murderer' stuck out to him like a beacon in the night. The avian took a few steps forward, before he cleared his throat.

"Excuse me! Would someone please care to explain exactly what is going on?"

When the mob ignored him and continued to clamor on, Vethrfolnir did sigh. "Brace yourselves," he said, turning to regard the Gogoat and his little group, before the Yveltal turned his attention back to the mob. Taking a deep breath, the large bird raised himself fully onto his legs, using his tail for support, before he spread his wings and gave a loud cry, hoping that would at least do something to silence the mob so he could hopefully get some answers.

Peter
Blessing Headquarters

Peter flung the doors to the room that the higher ups resided in open, and paced as calmly as he could. The room was completely white, completely pure. There was a white, rectangular table at the center of the room where some of The Blessings leaders sat. Nobody knew if they worked together to lead the organization, or if there was someone above them. There were seven of them, all pure bred Pokemon, and they all sat in tall, white chairs on the side of the table that faced the doors. The Pokemon at the very center of the cluster was a Gliscor who was thought to be the leader of the group.

"What brings you here, Peter?" the Gliscor hissed. Due to the exclusive and rigorous training Assassins have to undertake, there aren't many of them so they were all known on a name by name basis.

"Sir, I have found a traitor among us. Catharsis, a Ranger and Yveltal Champion, has revealed some information about The Blessing and is going to divulge more if we don't put an end to her now."

[Moonlost]

Venin - Burned Tower

"Typical." Vening groaned as Ghost informed her as to what was going on, her tail suddenly thumping on the ground. "We come down here to foster the dumb-dumbs on this place, and you go ahead and take your freakin' whatevers up north. They're probably all going to be ruining the stone placement in the brook, or breaking all the stuff in the den. I like my stuff! It took me a long time to steal all that stuff! You better hope that your rainbow sun canary bastard finds some other place to dump your mob, or I'll-"

Any threat Venin would have made was silenced by a roar unlike anything she'd ever heard before; sharp and piercing, as if wordlessly promising the destruction of everything around her. Venin immediately sunk to her belly, fins pulled back against her fur.
"Giratina's scaly arse! What the hell was that?!" She snarled.

[Azunara]

Solara
Burned Tower

She flinched at the sound, but she hoped that it wouldn't distress Catharsis so much. "Shh!" She tried valiantly anyways for the ninetales champion. "Don't know what that is, but I'm not gonna let that hurt you either."

Outside, the mob froze at the screaming call. One of the closer pokemon to him looked up and managed to squeak, "The occupants of the tower...they're murderers...they...they wiped out the Blessing camp." That seemed to rally the crowd some, and many pokemon began to clamor for Veth's attention, all shrieking crimes that the Tower occupants committed.

[HoneyShuckle]

Foresight- burned tower

Foresight simply listened to Ghost and her.. Relatives speak. He could hardly remember what his brother smelled like, much less his name. His sisters? He didn't remember them either. Did that say something about him? Or was it that he just couldn't find them? There was a screech... Roar, outside, and he crouched in response, wings raised. "I take it that wasn't just me?"

Shadess, Blood sleep-Near the burned tower

The two Darkrai stopped in the shadows near the burned tower. There was most certainly, any way you look at it, a mob outside the tower. Shadess didn't like mobs. She had a fair share of them after her at one point or another. "Why would anyone protest a tower?" Blood sleep asked. "Unless there's something in the tower." She added. "I will investigate what is inside, you search around out here." Shadess said, fading into the shadows promptly afterward. "You could at least let me say Yes." Blood sleep Muttered jokingly before fading herself.

[Falcon]

Catharsis - Burned Tower

"Thank you, I--" The poor kitsune immediately froze at hearing the cry, her eyes glazing over as the words suddenly died on her tongue. No. No! NonononononoNO! He was here for her, he was going to take her back. "Please, don't let him get me..." she croaked out, her voice now refusing to work completely. "I want to stay free..."

---

Vethrfolnir - Outside the tower

"That's better," Vethrfolnir murmured, settling back down once again when the mob finally fell quiet... though, he honestly didn't mean for them to be scared stiff. All he wanted was a little order. He nodded, listening intently to the one soul who spoke up.

"I see..." He trailed off, pondering why the Gogoat and his little troupe were milling about near here if the inhabitants within this tower were who the mob said they were. This thought was soon interrupted when the mob... started becoming noisy again, only now completely directed at him as if he could magically process several different sentences being rambled off all at once. The Yveltal raised a wing to his forehead, blue eyes closing for a few seconds before he once again spread his wings.

"One at a time!" He called, hopefully loud enough to be heard over the mob without accidentally waking the inhabitants of the nearby city. "ONE! AT! A! TIME!"

[TK-Hikaru13]

Steve, Luci, Cypress, Murkuro, Koishi and Kaname - Outside of the Tower

Cypress started screaming as the Yvetal let out his screech. "HE'S GONNA EAT ME!" He cried, beginning to charge.

"Stop!" Cypress heard a voice, a voice he hadn't heard in a while. He looked up to see a Marowak followed by a Luvdisc and a Swoobat.

"MURKURO! KOISHI! KANAME!" He shouted, running over to them and nuzzling Murkuro. "I missed you." He whispered happily.

"Missed you too." Said the Marowak.

"We're getting the Troupe back together~" Koishi cheered.

"Lovely to see you all again." Luci chirped. Steve looked over to where the others were and smiled.

"Found them." He sighed happily, choosing to ignore the commotion going on around him.

[Azunara]

Solara
The Burned Tower

She wasn't quite sure what Catharsis meant, but if there was one thing Sol was good at it, it was keeping pokemon back. She fluffed up her feathers, looking every inch fierce and protective. "There is no way in the Reverse World I'm gonna let anyone hurt you. I promise. My job is to make sure people stay safe, and I'm not about to screw that up now. Whatever that is out there, they're gonna have to get through me first."

The mob outside was cowed again, and one of them spoke up. It was the same pokemon as before, a stantler. "I saw one of them. I was in the forest, picking berries when a pokemon came out of nowhere. They were crying and begging that I listened. When I tried to help, they just screamed at me. When they finally calmed some, they explained that the strange pokemon that live in the Tower completely destroyed the Blessing camp near here. I wasn't sure myself, so I went to see it myself and sure enough, it's complete ruins. The Tower occupants are murderers! We'll chase them out of our city once and for all."

[HoneyShuckle]

Foresight, Shadess, Blood sleep-burned tower.

"Last I checked, something being destroyed isn't enough evidence to charge someone with murder." Said a disembodied voice in the mob. Blood sleep had to be careful. Both with her word choice, and how much she got involved. This sounded big. But.. Big could be good, maybe. Besides, she could mess with the heads of these Pokemon a little bit, right? She was a Darkrai after all. "What evidence is there that what you claim is true, other than the camp being destroyed?"

Shadess easily infiltrated the Tower, still faded from sight, there were a few pokemon dotted here and there, but it smelled like a barnyard. There had been a lot of pokemon there earlier. Wait, who was that? That couldn't be. "You're supposed to be dead." She said, unfading in front of Ghost. "It's been a long time, hasn't it?" Foresight's ears shot up. That voice! "Shadess?!" He asked. Shadess blinked, her hard stance vanishing in an instant. Ok, NOW she was imagining things. Foresight was a thousand years dead. Yet here he was, in the flesh. And much more feathery. "F... Foresight?" Ghost Smost, WHAT WAS FORESIGHT DOING ALIVE?!

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost Girl, Phantom - Burned Tower

Both of the larger Eeveelutions had jumped in surprise at the screech-like roar, their fur fluffing out (More so in Phantom's case, of course, leaving him looking like a giant red fluffball). While Ghost seemed to calm more quickly, with merely a "The hell was that?", her brother had instead taken to snarling in surprise, the flames along his back and paws alighting, although luckily he did seem to have control over them this time, looking as if he expected some giant monster to come swooping down at them at any moment. Ghost rolled her eyes at him as her fur began to lie flat again. "Honestly Phantom, you cannot tell me that you're that freaked out---" The Wraitheon let out a sudden yelp as a Darkrai appeared in front of her, skittering back in a most undignified fashion. She paused however as she thought she recognized the Dark type Legend, and Foresight's cry just confirmed it. "W-Wait.. Shadess?" She asked, confused by both why the Darkrai was even here.. And why she and Foresight seemed to recognize each other.

[Falcon]

((Poor, poor Veth, he never meant to freak everyone out when he called for quiet. XD))

Catharsis - Burned Tower

Catharsis jerked when what appeared to be a Darkrai suddenly phased into the room, but when the phantom-like Legendary spoke in a way that meant she knew these inhabitants, the Ninetales allowed herself to calm down slightly.

"I am so sorry this happened," Catharsis whispered to Solara. Even though she was still reeling from her mind being released from control, she wanted to do whatever she could to help these Wraitheons and their companions. She felt she owed it to them for not chasing her off. "If it would help, I could try speaking to them. I do not know everything that goes on within the Blessing, but I... I want to do anything I can to help you."

---

Vethrfolnir - Outside the tower

"I am afraid that the word of a solitary witness does not make for solid evidence," Vethrfolnir said, his gaze trained solely upon the Stantler that had spoken both times. "Is this Pokemon here with you now? I wish to speak with them personally if so."

Another voice then chose that moment to speak up, and the Dark/Flying Legendary's gaze darted amongst the gathered mass of 'mon there, trying to pinpoint whomever it was that this new voice belonged to. Still, they had a point: the account of only one witness along with the destroyed camp wasn't enough evidence. If anything, Veth was hoping to make this as fair as possible, without the outcome leading to senseless bloodshed.

[HoneyShuckle]

Shadess, Foresight- Burned tower

Shadess lightly pushed Ghost out of the way, and knelt on the floor, gently reaching out and brushing her hand against Foresight's cheek. "What are you even doing here?" She asked. Foresight flinched a little bit at being touched, but then relaxed. "It's a long story." He finally replied. "Was... The Village bridge thing, was that really... Her?" He inquired back. Shadess nodded. "Yes. It was Dusa... It was her. Unmistakably. But it's over. There's nothing we can do about that now."

Blood Sleep- Outside the Burned tower

She had to break up this mob. When banded together in this, They wouldn't listen to reason, and would give less accurate information. If she made it sound like ones of their own were questioning the motives, the group would be more likely to disband. In theory. Then she could ask one alone for the full story. Blood sleep made an illusionary voice on the other side of the Mob. "That's a good point! Where are they?" She couldn't help but wonder what the Yveltal had to do with this, however. He sounded like he didn't know the full story either.

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost Girl, Phantom - Burned Tower

Ghost grew even more confused as she watched Shadess and Foresight, then all of a sudden stiffened as their conversation continued. "Wait just one freaking second here," She started, stepping closer to the two. "Why in the hell does it sound like you two knew that.. That thing?!" She growled, not really intending to do so, but the mention of the Spiritomb that had caused so much strife in Unova had made the Wraitheon on-edge.

Having calmed somewhat, Phantom merely stood there watching his sister and the two other Pokemon. Obviously he had missed something. But then, it seemed Ghost had too, so it was.. Somewhat of a relief to know that she was confused as well. It made him feel significantly less silly. But then again, his fur was still fluffed up in an undignified manor, so it was kind of hard to not seem silly. But he felt less silly, which was what mattered. If other people thought otherwise, well, that was their problem.

[Azunara]

Solara
The Burned Tower

"I know, and it's not your fault. We'll figure a way to clean up this mess. You feeling a bit better now? If so, I'm gonna go see what made that noise and maybe try and get that crowd to disperse. Whatever's going on, I'd like to find out." A slight grin crossed her face and she snorted. "It's not like I'm afraid of what they can do. Kill me? Been there, done that." She folded up her wings some, still not bothering to worry about the conversation on the other part of the tower--although it sounded like Foresight had met an old friend. Alarming, since he had apparently been dead for a thousand years. This was gonna be good.

The stantler paused. "Well, no. The pokemon is recuperating. They're under a lot of stress. But I saw the wreckage myself. Someone tore through there and killed a bunch of people. And who would want to hurt the Blessing? They're good people. Perhaps the rumors are true--the mutants are evil."

[HoneyShuckle]

Foresight, Shadess-Burned tower

Shadess and Foresight both shifted their attentions to Ghost, falling silent for a moment. Shadess was the one who finally spoke up. "Dusa used to be a good person. She had her flaws, naturally.... but she was good at the core of that hard keystone of hers. Then she just snapped... it might have been what happened to Foresight, or.... Or something else that she didn't tell us about. Maybe even being captured by that nasty cult..... Point is, The Dusa we knew back in the day.... Was... different then the one who was here now." She finished. Foresight's ears drooped. He didn't want to think about it. The last tiny bit of hope that it hadn't been THAT Dusa was shattered, even know he already knew it deep down.

Blood sleep- Outside the burned tower

"But... that means we're out here with no proof but the word of one Person! You!" Blood sleep made another illusion say, before calling out herself again. "What am I even doing here then?"
