Rise of the Shadows!

[Azunara]

Speck had finally made a decision, and faded. She quietly stalked along, making her way to the Dusk camp. The Voices seemed extremely excited, cheering her on. She snarled at them to be quiet, but they briefly paused before cheering once more.

---

Dialga growled. If only he had done more, he could've stopped them. But no. He did nothing, he was too tired and weak. But he had had to rest. Or he would've dropped. He sighed, and waited for those to go with him to go. Maybe they'd find something to help Chomp.

[rubybeam]

Victini blinked at speck 'Where are you going" she asked following the ghost

[Lupis]

Delrokx was bored. The Sableye looked around, then trotted out of the forest to go on a quick patrol. Nothing was going on. She hadn't seen any battle in too long, and she was getting restless.
The first thing she saw when she poked her head of of the forest, however, was quite exciting. Then again, she didn't really see anything but a few shadows flickering across the grass as a few Dusk flew away, then a very slight ripple in the air as something faded into nothing. It smelled like... Well, like Dusk, but the reek of the uninfected was there too. She grinned madly and backed up, watching carefully with her body stretched and flattened to a tree.

[Magnakilro]

Chomp weakly reached a hand up to Rikki's cheek and wiped the tears away, "....I'll make sure to say hi to Sparky...Jingle...Klaww...Scizor....Shadwyn...and Groudon....for all of you...."

[Azunara]

Speck yelped in surprise, unfading. She snapped at Victini, "What? Don't go around startling people like that!" She then flicked between anger and apology for snapping, before shaking herself and replying, "I'm going to their camp. I'll find their leader and kill him. Then they'll know chaos, and we can destroy them a lot easier without a unifying force."

The haunter faded again. "It's a sound plan, Haunter. You're a genius. Kill them. Kill them all. Why not kill your friends while you're at it?" They asked, and Speck snarled at them to shut up.

---

Solara whined. No. Nononono. He couldn't just DIE on them...

[Magnakilro]

Chomp weakly lifted his other ar and pulled Rikki closer, giving her a hug, "I'm going to miss you...."

[rubybeam]

speck faded before victini could say anything "Okay you go do that.."

[Magnakilro]

Lilith and Arachne closed their eyes, tears streaming down their faces.

Jaws was hugging Olivia the whole time, growling sadly.

Deoxys head his eyes closed looking away.

Soundwave and his team approached Chomp.

Soundwave spoke, "C-Chomp...."

Chomp looked up at him, "Hey buddy...."

[rubybeam]

Boltsia saw soundwave and started to snarl, her cheeks flickering with electricity "YOU!" that rodent tackled soundwave her fangs glowing with energy

Boltsia used hyper fang!

[Magnakilro]

Soudwave shrieked.

Chomp called out, "L-leave him alone kid......please..."

[Lupis]

Delrokx didn't move hearing Speck speak. So what? All of the uninfected wanted to kill Scarab. Several had tried, but none had actually succeeded. Besides, he was surrounded by bodyguards now. They were silly to think they had even the slightest chance of hurting the Master.
She flexed her claws. And if they did... The Dusk wouldn't have a leader in body, but nobody went about killing their leader without taking on the full, furious force of every Dusk that had ever lived. She decided to trail them just to be safe.

Summer still sat at the river, unwilling to go and see what was going on with Chomp. She didn't belong their. She would let his friends weep for him.

Scarab looked at Hands. She gave a nod and took flight, circling the army once before flying out to see what was going on with Chomp. She hardly got in eyeshot of them before turning back, having seen it all clearly with her sharp eyes.

[rubybeam]

"leave him alone? leave him alone? he freaking used a solar beam on my battle partner which happens to be freaking weak to grass type moves and then uses a friggen explosion!" the rodent was about to attack again when he was held back by a beedrill "Just listen to an old man's wishes bolt" the rodent grumbled "You lucky for now.."

[Kamalia]

Olivia returned Jaws's hug, clinging perhaps a bit too tightly as she stared at Chomp, the feathers on her cheeks wet. Molly had curled up at the base of a tree, whimpering and quietly sobbing as she sensed Chomp's life slipping away. Tira seemed extremely twitchy, giving the back of her head a hard scratch or shaking her head every moment or so. Julius watched quietly, clutching onto his berries.

[Azunara]

Speck nodded in satisfaction, unchallenged. The haunter continued making her way to the camp, and glanced at the edge, pausing. The first trace of doubt hit her. She was insane for doing this. It wouldn't end well for her. Then again...They had killed too many. Hurt too many. Deoxys and Darkrai were already Infected. That left Dialga and Mewtwo. How long till they fell? Better she did something now.

The haunter, still faded, stalked along the Dusk, humming and sending any that paid attention to her asleep.

[Lupis]

Delrokx blinked as she heard the hum. Awww, crap. Exhaustion fell over her in a wave and she staggered before collapsing, asleep.

Scarab extended his arm out to his side and Hands lighted on it, giving him a look. She bowed her head and make a crying noise. Scarab nodded, smirking, and looked around at the tree. Dusk still littered it, hanging from branches, shrouded in leaves. Some had faded while others made themselves evident. A machamp was hidden somewhat badly about a yard away from Scarab's side, while another, a shiny red Machamp, was standing obvious beside him.

[rubybeam]

Somna looked at chomp "No..you..can't don't die on us! you can't! if you do we will fail! what will we do to save the world while your dead! Where will I go! damnit when the war is over I will have no where to go and become a weapon again damnit! don't die man don't die!" somna couldn't help but cry even more his fur damp with his own tears

[Magnakilro]

Soundwave landed near Chomp's face, "I-I'm so sorry.....I-I was being controlled....we all were....we were made to believe we were doing the right thing..."

Chomp looked into Soundwave's eyes, "....its ok Soundwave....I know it wasn't your fault....."

Soundwave sighs, "...you were always so forgiving..."

Chomp smiled, "....its easy when your dealing with an old friend!"

Soundwave smiled, "...heh...."

Chomp looked at Soundwave's team, "Who might they be?"

Soundwave laughed, "My friends I met while I was a Dusk...Medusa the Tentacruel....Venus the Victreebel....and Ironskull the Rampardos.....sorry if Ironskull is unresponsive....he's a mute...."

Chomp looked at Somna, "....there's nothing stopping you from staying with Lilith or Molly or Rikki is there?"

[Azunara]

Speck hovered, studying the defenses. She saw quite a few pokemon, and she was easily outnumbered. It wouldn't surprise her if there were more hidden. She'd need stealth, skill, and a bit of luck. And worse came to worse, she had an easy method of escape.

Speck used Hypnosis!

---

Solara had given up on her attempts to heal Chomp. It was futile. She laid down dejectedly a bit ways off. Dialga sat, watching Chomp carefully. He could sense his death soon.

[rubybeam]

"No there's not your right but still damnit i'm going to miss you, you where the one who didn't actually mind my flirting, you where the big blue aligator that accepted anyone no matter who they where into your group, even if they were annoying little bears!..just..don't..die..on..me"

[Magnakilro]

Chomp smiled at Somna, "I never did thank you for this....but...thanks for teaching me Waterfall that day.....its gotten me outta a lot of jams..."
