Rise of the Shadows!

[Azunara]

Solara scrambled upright, "Next time," She said, grinning a bit, "Can you give me a warning?" She glanced at Lilith, who was asleep. Sleep would be good for her. As long as she wasn't exerting herself.

Speck was launching into another joke, about a pidgey and an eevee, cackling at the punchline.

Eleredar landed in the cave, shaking his wings, "Well," He said. "There isn't too much movement on the Dusk front, as of now. They're just restless."

[Magnakilro]

Ironskull laughed.

He scratched a message in the ground, What Are You Gonna Do About It Baby Sister?

He grinned slyly.

[Azunara]

Solara protested, "Er, bad things! Yeah." She moved quickly towards Ironskull, as if to slice him, but leaped away at the last second, skidding to a halt as best as she could.

[Magnakilro]

Ironskull chuckled and approached Sol.

He playfully licked her face and ran

[Azunara]

Solara blinked in shock. "Wait, what? Wait, hey!" She shouted, and chased after Ironskull. Speck snickered, and Dagger watched them in surprise. How could they be so silly with the Dusk such a threat. He shrugged.

[Magnakilro]

Ironskull laughed and scratched a quick message, Can't Catch Me!

[Lupis]

Summer watched Solara and Ironskull run around, smiling. She was glad they could still be happy. In a fairly light mood, she wandered over to Dagger and sat, looking up at the Skarmory. "Hey, I'm Summer. I haven't seen you about before." She pushed one of the few remaining fish towards him. "Want something to eat?"

Scarab and the rest of the Dusk arrived at the lake. He examined it for a moment, then instructed a few Ice types to create a frozen "island" in the center of the lake. The island they linked to the shore with a frozen path. Scarab walked over the bridge to the island, glad to be near water again, and stood up on the ice island. Blue and Red the Machamp bodyguards joined him, and Hands landed on his shoulder. The Dusk army circled the lake and kept watch.
"The uninfected are currently living in the cave not far from here," he explained to his army, "and we will attack presssently. Our lassst plan remainsss valid." With that he gestured towards the Three Hounds and the small Butterfree, wanting them to approach.

[Azunara]

((Bring it, Dusk! *coughs.*))

Dagger tilted his head, thoughful, and muttered, "You're Dusk as well...Huh." He then refocused his thoughts, taking one of the fish and scarfing it down hungrily. "Thanks," He said, and added, "I'm Dagger."

[Kira]

Delora opened her eyes as she looked around, blinking a few times and letting out a yelp as Ciro tackled her to the ground.
"Mommy! You're back to normal!" Ciro said cheerfully as he nuzzled his mother.
Delora let out a little laugh as she nuzzled Ciro back. "I am. And You need to get home!"
"But....but...."

Kyuu yawned loudly as she woke up, almost back to normal. Her fur was white again, but not as bright of a green. She sat up and rubbed at her eyes, tail flicking lightly.

[Saturo]

Darkrai waved at the Del-Deo family, and faded.

[Magnakilro]

"Glad to have you back my love...." Deoxys said with a smile.

He looked at Ciro, "Your mother's right.....it is too dangerous for you to remain here..."

and besides...I know you miss little Rocket...

[Lupis]

Summer nodded. "Yeah, quite a few of us were at some point. I actually joined these guys only a few days ago, I used to be a loyal Dusk. I was..." she trailed off, picking her words carefully, "...Shown the error of my ways. Luckily these uninfected are actually a lot nicer and more sincere then I had ever thought, they welcomed me with open arms. They're impressively strong, too. I know from experience." She smiled at Dagger. "I'm glad you came to us, though, we can always use a spare set of claws."

[rubybeam]

Moroki started to pack up his things taking the first aid kit, which was now in perfect condition thanks to myst, he looked at moriki "I'm going to go look for more uninfected humans..if there is any if you need me don't be afraid to call" he smiled giving moriki a peice of paper with a number on it, he returned all his pokemon to thier balls with the exception of fiji which he mounted and flew off

[Azunara]

Dagger grinned, "I heard that a few Dusk had defied their allies. And I can imagine. They've got numbers, but we have something they'll never have. They fight because they can. We fight because we want to survive. And that makes us stronger." He said.

---

Eleredar grinned, trying to trip up Ironskull, Solara trying to catch up to him. "Wanna bet? I can catch up to you, easy!" She said.

Dialga looked out over the area, watchful.

[Kira]

Ciro had started to pout, then blushed a bit at the message in his head. He sniffed and looked away. "I can't tell her..can I?"
"No sweetheart, her mother should do that." Delora said as she nuzzled him again.
Ciro nodded and licked both his parents before he looked at everyone else. "None of you better get hurt!" He said seriously before he teleported back him.

Mewtwo glanced over at Kyuu, who peeked up at him, giving him a little smile. He did his best to not blush as he slid the curled Mago berries over to her. There was a pause before she squeaked and grabbed one, biting into it happily.

Moriko blinked at Moroki before she nodded. "You got it...be careful out there okay?"

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys watched Mewtwo, "Don't screw this up....." he said to himself.


Ironskull tripped, landing on his back.

[rubybeam]

Moroki nodded "I will don't worry" he waved before coming out of the cave "I'll see you later!" fiji immdeatly launched into the air

[Kira]

"These are really good!"
"I'm glad you like them."
"Aren't they hard to find?"
"They can be but..." Oh lord, he couldn't believe he was saying this. "It's worth it to see you happy."
Kyuu stopped and looked at him, blinking as she stared to blush. "You mean that...?"
Mewtwo nodded, doing his best to not look away.

Moriko smiled at Moroki and wave, but couldn't help the sick little feeling in her chest.

[Magnakilro]

Deoxys continued watching Mewtwo, and smiled, "...my god he's doing it!"

[rubybeam]

Moroki knew he wouldn't be okay and it would be hard trying to avoid the dusk but there would have to be at least one person out there other then the three of them, he looked at the land below, it looked empty and solemn
