Rise of the Shadows!

[Magnakilro]

Jaws ran over to Lilith, "You ok Lil?"

Lilith smiled at him, "I'm fine....just......"

Jaws saw the bite mark, "LIL! YOUR INFECTED!"

Jaws immediately started worrying.

-------

Deoxys still held on to Delora, hoping he got through to her completely

[Lupis]

"She will. Thank you, Ghost. I thought you hadn't heard me when I spoke about family, hardly anybody ever does. She probably just thinks we're savages for now, but she'll come to understand, should she let herself."

Delrokx blinked and faded, but the fire still burned her. She yelped again, clawing at Baaz.

Delrokx uses Shadow Slash!

[Kira]

"Love..as much as I love being so close to you..I'm having a Little of trouble breathing at the moment." Delora muttered as she looked up at him. "Ease up please."

---

Daray frowned a little bit before he moved over to Speck. "Hey kid...think you could explain what you did to get rid of the curse? I..want to be helpful somehow.."

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys looked at her and let go, "Sorry....just couldn't stand seeing you like that..."

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost smiled, then looked down at the ground, "How could I not listen to you about family? I've always wanted to have a family where I belonged... But even my REAL family didn't care. All because I was different..."

[Moonlost]

Baaz growled in pain as Delrokx's claws sliced though his leg. Blood began to dribble from the wound, then it was quickly cauterized by the flames dancing on the arcanite's body. He turned to face the ghost again, opened his mouth and let loose a blast of fire.

Baaz used Flamethrower!

((Yeah, there's not much to how Baaz fights ))

[Kira]

Delora nodded slightly. "I'd lick your cheek but-"
You're not infected anymore.
Who in...Kyuu?
I can't sense them anymore in you, so you're alright!
Delora blinked before she grinned. "Well, since Ms. Part-Dusk gave me the all clear..." She backed up slightly before she lept at Deoxys, nuzzling and licking his cheek.

[Magnakilro]

Jaws knelt next to Lilith, "I know your gonna fight this Lils! I know your gonna kick its ass!"

There was worry in his voice.

----------

Sparky woke up from his nap. He noticed he was back to his normal colors.


-----------

Deoxys chuckled, "Glad to have you back my love!"

[Azunara]

((Back!))

Speck looked at Daray, "Yeah. Essentially, what you're doing is chasing the voices, the shadows away in their dreams. It only works when you use Nightmare on a sleeping Dusk. Worse, the shadows in the dreams can Infect you if you're not careful. It's how it happened to me when we cured Sol. It's tiring too, that's why I was so out of it a few days ago. I had just cured Darkrai. Do you know he has creepy dreams? Still, it's nice to know that I gave the Lord of Nightmares....a nightmare. That's skill." The haunter was near babbling, but she seemed very proud of herself.

Solara looked at Summer and Ghost, hesitant, then quietly slipped away while they talked.

---

Dialga stretched, almost hopping energetically, foot to foot as he was back in the present time line.

[Kira]

Mewtwo shifted as he rested, looking calm for once.
Kyuu was laying on a branch in the tree next to Mewtwo's, looking down at the group and frowning. So many infected..

Daray smiled at Speck and let out a little laugh. "Good job kid! I'm impressed." He nodded. "I think I understand what your saying. Hopefully it doesn't have to be done again though.."

----

Delora stayed close to him and closed her eyes, resting her cheek on his. "I'm sorry.."

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys looked into her eyes, "Don't be...its not your fault...."

[Lupis]

Summer nodded. "I had a terrible family before this, too. They killed everything that opposed them, forcing me to do the same. I was overjoyed when I saw that my new family didn't want to kill, not when they could just add us to their growing family." She smiled brightly at Ghost. "We're not so different it seems."

Delrokx jumped out of the way, her eyes gleaming as she shot another beam of light at her opponent.

Delrokx uses Power Gem!

[Kira]

Delora shifted and moved back from him, letting him up. "We should go back to the others." She shook herself a bit to get rid of any tears she almost had.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys nodded. He lifted her up and teleported to the group

[Senna-Umbreon]

Ghost grinned back at Summer, "So it seems." She looked over her shoulder, realizing that Solara was gone, "... Should we go after her?"

[Magnakilro]

The Pseudos were getting restless, "Boss...is there anything you'd like for us to do?" asked Garchomp as he saluted Scarab

[Azunara]

Speck nodded grimly, "As do I. It's kind of scary, seeing other people's nightmares. I don't know how Darkrai does it." She shrugged, brightening. "But, we have a method, and it's better than nothing."

---


Solara crept back to camp, ears pricked the entirety of the way, listening worriedly. Who was at fault? What if it was them, for separating families and forcing them to choose themselves. Maybe it was them that was the problem.

[Magnakilro]

Lilith looked at Solara, "I'm sorry I couldn't bring her back Sol....."

[Kira]

Darray nodded, hoping he didn't have to use it. "I'll try and help if theres a next time, I promise!" He wanted to do something. Anything.

Delora refused to move away from him as they arrived back, looking around instead. "I believe we missed something.."

[Moonlost]

Baaz was pushed back a few paces from the impact of the beam of light hit him. He grunted, letting the pain ripple though his body and diffuse. He roared and leapt once again, the fires on his body blazing higher still, consuming the large pokemon entirely.

Baaz used Flare Blitz!
