Rise of the Shadows!

[Magnakilro]

Demonica floated around the globe. She was searching for the remaining member of the Lilypad Scouting team, which she is a member. She spotted a Ludicolo, "Well well...if it isn't the Tundra loving bitch herself!"

Lily, the Ludicolo, turned around, "Ahh Demonica, nice to see you again!"

Demonica cackled, "A damnable lie...but I'm flattered....come! we must find the others!"

Lily nodded, "I know where Hailie is! Follow me!"

Demonica followed.

[Azunara]

Cro whined. "I really have to go?" He asked, then added, "As soon as you get hurt, all of us will come. We'll figure out a way to get here, but we'll come help." He said, seriously.

Solara sighed. Poor kids. Their parents had to fight, risk their lives daily for them. And that was another reason she fought. For those kids, right? She was just glad she didn't have any of her own to deal with. It would be probably end badly for the kid.

((Sol as a mom just...seems strange in my mind. XD Funny to experiment with, but odd.))

[Kamalia]

Soren slowly blinked at Ikis. The guy certainly looked rough enough. What'd he get into? He sighed to himself and approached the... cat thing. He glanced up and narrowed his eyes at the leaves blocking the sunlight.
Soren used Hyper Beam!
"Much better." He nodded at the hole punched through the canopy. Sunlight shone in. He tilted his ears and tail at it, his eyes sliding half-closed at the warmth. He blinked and shook his head, stifling a yawn as he pressed his paws against Ikis.
Soren used Synthesis!

[Kira]

Delora sighed softly. No arguing with the kid right now it seemed. "We'll talk about this later." She said as she nudged Cro over toward Ciro. "Go with your brother."

Ikis closed his eyes as he felt his wounds heal. That was a very nice feeling. "Thanks...and I was serious, can you sew his mouth shut or something?"

[Azunara]

Cro nodded slightly, giving a quiet affirmative, before slowing walking over to Ciro, looking like a pokemon condemned to death.

[Magnakilro]

Lily and Demonica stopped when the saw a glaceon tearing into the throat of a flygon.

"HAILIE!" called Lily.

The Glaceon turned and ran to the pair, "Hi guys!"

Demonica cackled, "How are ya you desert loving rug?"

"As good as I'll ever be, you spectral, city loving tramp!"

"We're getting the old team together!" said Lily.

Hailie smiled, "I know where Fern went! Follow!"

She ran off, Lily and Demonica in tow.

[Kamalia]

The Leafeon raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Does sending him to sleep sound any better?"

"Don't worry, Cro! I'll look after them for you!" Julius chirped, swishing his tails behind him.

[Magnakilro]

The three ladies reached a beach. A large ring of mushroom like petals stuck out of the water. "FERN!" yelled Lily.

A vileplume emerged from the water, "Hi ladies!"

Demonica explained what was hoppining.

"Thorn's not too far from here! Let's go!" said Fern.

They ran off.

[Kira]

"If it'll shut him the hell up then Yes, it does." Ikis said with a grin.
Terra frowned. Why was everyone so Mean to him?

[Azunara]

Cro looked at Julius, giving a slight smile, "Thanks!" He said.

Solara stretched from her spot. "So, anyone else worried about quiet the Dusk are? It's been a few days since the battle at the Mountain over there. Should we be worried? Not like them to be so quiet."

[Magnakilro]

In the middle of the forest, the group of ladies found a Cacturne.

"Thorn!" said Lily.

The Cacturne ran over, "Hello friends!"

Thorn listened as the ladies explained the situation, "Hmmm...where's Sprite?"

Demonica hissed, "That bitch ditched us....she's gone..."

Thorn sighed, "Well that sucks...thought we were going to have a full team again...."

"Let's just go back to Scarab..." Demonica said.

She teleported everyone to the Dusk army.

[Kamalia]

Soren chuckled. "Then give a shout when you need me." He turned to head back to the mountain and resume that lovely nap he had left. He paused at Terra's face. "Hey, only kidding, kiddo." He shrugged, then continued on his way.

"I know what you mean." Molly frowned, tapping her foot lightly. "I wonder what exactly it is they're doing right now."

[Azunara]

"Should we send a scouting party? I totally volunteer!" The espeon said.

[Kira]

Terra let out a relieved sigh, then squeaked as he was picked up by the tail. He smiled innocently at Ikis.
"You..are annoying." Ikis muttered before he tossed the Sandshrew back toward the mountain, flexing his newly healed muscles and sighing. He was still tired. He headed back to the rest of the Dusk, starting to plan.

---

"I do too." Delora said as she flicked her tail once. "I hate just sitting here.."

[Azunara]

Solara nodded. "Great." She got up eagerly, ready to do something. Besides, all these kids made her uncomfortableish. She wasn't good with kids. She wasn't good with anything but fighting, honestly. And doing that around kids would end badly. She'd rather be out and moving, stalking, fighting, doing what she did best.

"Anyone else?"

[Magnakilro]

Lilith got up, "I'll go..."

She walked up to Solara.

[Lupis]

((Can't do any attacks today, I'm afraid. It's late.))

Scarab continued to pace. After a moment he got a bit of an idea. Probably a bit suspicious, but it was worth a shot. He didn't want the Dawn seeing the Dusk around, he wanted to keep them wondering. Staying on the mountain was incredibly predictable... The answer was simple enough. Separate into two parts and move around the edges of Dawn territory until they reached the back, then gather again. If they did it well, nobody would notice, and they could hide and attack with surprise on their side.
He gave the order. Dusk quieted, splitting up into two parts, and moving in a slow, quiet stream down the back of the mountain. They spread out and began moving, laying low, through the denser forest and undergrowth, staying silent. They made sure to stay at least a mile away from the Dawn cave on each side.

[Azunara]

((Pfft. Late? ))

Solara nodded. "Awesome. Any more? Probably not too many more, or they'll get suspicious."

[Kira]

Delora streched out before she moved over to the cave entrance. "C'mon, lets go already."

Ikis watched the Dusk split, a puzzled look on his face. He shrugged after a moment an found himself a spot to rest.

[Lupis]

((Well... Only late because I have school tomorrow. >.< *Shakefist* Curse you, school!))
