Vengeance of the Soultakers

[Azunara]

Solara added her own energy and thoughts to the message, amplified by her psychic capability. She was greatly pleased to see a few curious Dusk peer from abandoned homes and holes. It was a small number, but that meant nothing. Each evolved pokemon was as powerful as two or three non-evolved pokemon.

((Also, because Phantom is evolved, would he hear the message?))

[rubybeam]

Yuki blinked uncovering his face to reveal its four multicoloured eyes "Your not going to hurt me?" he had a mix of shock and question

[Lupis]

((Er.. Maybe? I dunno! If they're rather close to the city, then Phantom would be able to hear it, I think.))

[BrickWall]

Proof? I'm sorry there is little I can do to show you what they are beginning to do. I can do nothing but tell you of what I know.
I lack the power to do more. I have only just escaped with the Soultakers. They used me to force their way out of their prison and left me.
They drained my soul to do this! Still true but he was a willing participant.
I had just enough power left to free myself and find anyone who could help. I found you!

I could show you my memories of the final battle before we were locked into our prison. But you would have to lower all mental barriers to do this. Edited of course.

[Senna-Umbreon]

((Millie is just full of cheerfulness. But hey, you can hardly blame her! She's still a little kid, really. Somewhere around Rust's age.. Probably a little younger, actually.))

Millie peeked around a tree, brightening as she saw the Beedrill. She approached him, grinning. "Hi!" She said.

((Also, because Phantom is evolved, would he hear the message?))

((.. I have no idea. *Shrugs*))

[Kira]

Aeris shook her head and then whined. She felt her tail flick as she went to land. Maybe she could find a couple berries to chew on to make herself feel better. She started pushing the snow away with the tail and her wings, searching.

Arkon nodded, shaking himself off and sending little drops of water out from himself. "I am. That's why I'm outside in this evil snow."

[Magnakilro]

"H-hello...." Spear replied.

[Azunara]

((And alright. Up to you. If he's close enough to the old base, with the already link and Sol adding to it, he might. *taps fingers together in an evil fashion as she cackles.*))

Wistala shook her head, fluttering her wings. "No..." She added, "I'm Wistala. You can call me Tala though, if you want."

More Dusk slowly appeared, looking at the pair and questioning each other in low undertone.

"We...were defeated."
"He's dead! We're dead!"
"The Dawn destroyed us! How can we rise up?"
"...Is it true? The Dusk are rising again?"

[rubybeam]

Yuki relaxed calming himself tala was obivously someone he could trust smiling he nodded happily "My names...yuki If I remeber correctly!" he stated cheerfully

[Senna-Umbreon]

Millie's grin grew wider, making her small fangs very easy to spot. "What's wrong?" She asked, her head tilted, "You seem upset! You shouldn't be so upset! Especially not with all this snow around!" The small fluffy tail that she had started flitting about happily. It had been a while since she had actually seen someone! Maybe she could be friends with this Beedrill!

[Lupis]

Lark nodded, flicking a clump of snow off her pelt with a claw. "It's not that bad," she replied, then looked at the water dripping off of Arkon's coat. "Although that could get annoying." She looked towards the hills in the distance. "Anyway, I'm bored. Want to search for berries or something? Maybe play Hunter and Hunted in the forest?"

Buzzard spoke to the gathered Dusk, watching as more came. "There is a way to become a unified force again. We can rally, work together again! End the Dawn at last! They didn't destroy us, they destroyed the Virus. We're bound by a loyalty that runs deeper. The other non-Dusk don't even need to know we're back, not until the Dawn are gone." He paused, raising his head to look across the Dusk. "But first we need to find an artifact. It can bring us our victory."

[BrickWall]

((Also, because Phantom is evolved, would he hear the message?))

((I'd say it depends on the level of the Soultaker. The weaker ones like Augurer and Magus then yes. Magi and the two hands then no but they would need to shield themselves from being heard which would eat away at their soul energy. I guess this would work for psychic types too, but I'd stay Moonlost has final say on this. All hail she who commands us.))

[Moonlost]

"Hear that?" A deep growl crawled fourth from Gamin's throat, his ears pricked up. "Buzzard's issuing a call to arms."
Beside him, Seventeen too had her ears raised despite not needing them to hear Buzzard's message. Once, not too long ago, she would have happily jumped up to join their new crusade. Even though the voices had left her system, she could still feel the thrum of battle, the call of her savage side demaning blood for the death of her Alpha...
Suddenly, two pups bursted fourth from the undergrowth, wrestling over a stay brach found, growling playfully at each other.
"He will have to march without us." She responded, touching the male pup, Havoc, on the forhead with her paw. He let go of the stick to grin up at his mother. Gamin nodded, thn ran over to his daughter, Hecate, to gently tackle her, licking her as he did so.

Baaz paused, considering. "... Show me then." He agreed with a nod.

Venin chicked at the two, before accepting one of the berries herself.
"I did good, huh dad?" Asher asked, jumping up and down, his own berry untouched.

[BrickWall]

((and I completely missread that ...
Sorry my bad ))

[Azunara]

Tala nodded, "Nice to meet you!" She paused, tilting her head. "You look really hurt. I have some friends who might be able to help you."

---

The Dusk looked at each other, slowly agreeing. A voice called, "What exactly are we looking for?"

((
It's fine. I misread stuff all the time. ))

[Lupis]

((No worries! Happens.))

The Sinistra had circled the mind enough, examining it. Her own psyche suddenly slithered rapidly towards it, aiming to attack and take down the barriers. She bombarded it with many weak jabs, dragging energy from her own soul. It was quite painful to herself, but she had a feeling it would do the job.
She was running out of energy, but she wanted to influence this mind too before she rested in the mirror.

Buzzard looked towards the voice before responding. "A mirror. Solara, do you know any details?"

[rubybeam]

Yuki kept on smiling happy at the thought no one attacked him for once until he heard tala say 'friends' "no..." he said in a low voice "No no no they'll try to kill me" grew shaky again

[Magnakilro]

Spear sighed, "....its my family....my entire hive....they were all killed....all of them...."

[Azunara]

Tala recoiled, wincing. "No, I don't think they will. They seem nice enough to let me stay. I don't know them too well, really. I just live near by because they're familiar enough."

---

Solara added, "An obsidian mirror. Covered with runes. I'm not sure on location, but with enough of us searching, we'll find it easily enough."

[rubybeam]

"But i'm different I don't think they will" Yuki frowned painful memories reaching him
