The Aftermath- Dark (as in genre, not pokemon type) Pokemon RP

@Slendy Yes. I'm allowing people 2-3 legendaries if they want (So that if you wanted, you could have one in each different side) as long as they don't go crazy with the power~ I myself will only ever use more than 3 legendaries if I need to for story purposes :3

The Aftermath- Dark (as in genre, not pokemon type) Pokemon RP

Montainum listens to what Serran has to say about Aruba's child, and thinks for a moment. A slow, wry smile makes it's way onto the great Terrakion's face. "No...don't do anything. Not yet. I've had plans for that little Riolu from the start...plans that even you wouldn't know..." Darkclaw stops once confronted by Spookton, and he smirks. "Ah. I see I truly have been sent for, then. Is it quite important?" Darkclaw takes Spookton's hand as he inquires. Tatakumei keeps training against the bars of her cage down in the depths of the Revolutioneer base. Her paws are becoming quite sore, but she doesn't pay any mind. To her, it's a good sign. She hopes the day will come when training like this won't make her paws sore at all. Had the cage not been charmed by a Mismagius of higher ranks in the Revolutioneer team, then surely, her mother would've broken it easy...so, since she couldn't break it from the outside yet, Tatakumei had to work to be strong like her mother, and break them from the inside! It had to work! Aruba cringes after being hit with the Bone Rush, but it would take a lot more than that to take down this determined soul, for better or for worse. When she shakes off her cringe, she quickly moves away from Carl, to where she's facing all of her current opponents on the field. She comes to a pause, however, when the figure in the hood suddenly appears before them. She clenches her teeth and fists as she listens to what he has to say. "A human Revolutioneer? How odd..." Sephie murmurs, taking note of this strange figure, and the blunt statements he's made towards Aruba. When he turns to leave, Sephie turns back to Aruba. "So...a personal reason? What is it? And don't give me any kind of crap answer. I know you. Their way of thinking isn't your style...what happened?" Aruba has been silent the whole time, head tilted down, but eyes analyzing the adversaries in front of her. She doesn't want to stay here with these people much longer...but she's got to do something to bring in help. Maybe her presence, and the familiar hooded boy's words were enough...but she might as well give it an extra push anyway. "...It's none of your business anymore, Sephie. Besides...I don't have time to talk. I've got an objective here." Aruba lifts her head up to face Sephie. She starts moving her paws forward slowly, and immediately, Sephie forsees an attack coming her way. "Euphie!" Sephie calls. The Sylveon rushes in front of the girl just as Aruba summons forth her first attack, a Dragon Pulse, which she aims at Carl instead to thrown the others off. Euphoria leaps at the Lucario while she's targeting someone else. "Dragon type moves don't effect me, fool!" Euphoria grins, ready to use a Pixilated Take Down on the Lucario. Before she can, though, Aruba shifts gears, canceling out her ongoing Dragon Pulse, and holding out a paw in front of the charging Sylveon with a smirk. "Flash Cannon." Euphoria hardly has time to recoil in horror before she's hit point-blank with a powerful Flash Cannon. The Sylveon falls to the ground, nearly unconscious. "Euphoria!" Sephie gasps. Such powerful defeats rarely happened to the Sylveon. She feels Ai-yu let go of her shoulder, floating just a bit above her, and ready to fight for Sephie if she has to. "Ai-yu..." Sephie frowns. She knows the legendary can be powerful, but at the same time, she doesn't want to risk her partner getting hurt. However, Sephie doesn't get much time to think, as Aruba has spotted their separation, and is going to take advantage of it immediately. Aruba rushes at Sephie, causing the trainer to be startled, and frantic while trying to think of what she can do. The pokemon is way too fast. "Dark Pulse!" Aruba shouts, but instead of attacking what it seems is her previous trainer, she puts her paws out before her and gives Sephie a hard shove backwards, out of the Dark Pulse's range. It spares Sephie from the attack...but not little Ai-yu. "A-AH!" Ai-yu gives a cry of pain, and tries to recuperate her senses as quickly as possible. It's common knowledge that all Celebi are extremely quick, so she should be able to get away. Sadly, her shock lasts just a split second too long, and Aruba's grabbed her and is making an escape from the scene with her in mere seconds. "Ai-yu!" Sephie straightens her hat quickly while she scrambles to her feet. She's about to call upon her other Pokemon, but before she can even let out the call, two of them have already arrived on the scene. One of them grabs her by the sleeve and flips her up onto their back without stopping once while in pursuit of Sephie's kidnapped partner Pokemon. "Y-you knew that quick?" Sephie laughs lightly down at her beloved starter Pokemon. "Y-you don't have to carry me like this, you know. I'm not hurt." "I know, but I'm faster. Plus, us wizards and witches have to stick together, right?" Pipley chuckles. "Ah, yes. I knew. You forget, that us Delphox can see the future in our flames...though, I forgot that as well, and by the time I checked, it was just a bit too late to stop the initial incident from occurring. Oh well, hopefully we can fix things like this, eh?" Back at the scene, the other of Sephie's reinforcements, the ghost of a Meowstic, walks up to the barely-conscious Sylveon, and sighs. "Oh Euphie...so eager to get into a fight that you forgot how to dodge..." Sachiko sighs as she lifts Euphoria up with her psychic power, and carries her back into the clearing, where the slightly eerie (and honestly more to Sachiko's liking) music is now being played. "I'd be honored to meet your friends, Aqua. It'd be nice to see who's taken care of you all this time." Rythian chuckles a bit at the little Eevee, though he starts to grow slightly wary of her when she suddenly takes to giggling to herself in front of him. Now what could that little Eevee be planning...? Before Rythian can think on it too hard, he notices another Pokemon heading towards them. More than that, he notices the two Pokemon riding on this new one. "HI THERE, RY!" Mystarii grins, waving. "CHECK OUT OUR TRUSTY NEW STEED!" "He's not our steed! Geez, be a little grateful, would ya?! He brought us back! Show some respect!" Electricia huffs as Sha stops to let them down. Both Pokemon climb off, and walk up to Rythian and Aqua. "Well, I believe that these are the two I've been talking to you about. These are my friends, Mystarii and Electricia." Rythian introduces the two pokemon to Aqua. "You consider us your friends? Aw, Ry, you're so flattering sometimes!" Mystarii laughs. "And who would this Eevee here be? Another friend?" Electricia tips her hat to Aqua. "Yes. An old friend. I knew her when I was but a Zorua." Rythian nods. "Her name is Aqua."

"Um, yeah. Sounds like a good idea..." Minako agrees with a nod at Makoto, and follows Abernathy back inside of the mansion.
"Hurt me? Oh no! I'm just fine! Besides, no one can hurt me. I'm too good for that, especially when I'm with my friends!" Amaiyo replies to Lucas while skipping after Minako and Abernathy, inside of the mansion.
"Okay Renn, this is it!"
"W-what are you planning on doing...?!"
"Huh? Oh! It's the other angel I saw when I walked up to this place! Hello again!" Amaiyo grins cheerfully, waving at the two girls.
In front of the group, Ellysa stands, holding her sword in one hand, and holding Renn under her other arm, probably not with her consent by the embarrassment on Renn's face.
"Ellie, w-would you mind putting me down before you do anything too serious with this whole thing...?" Renn pleads with her friend, but Ellysa is too focused on Amaiyo. She points her sword at the cat angel's direction.
"I will not be taken down into the underworld! Neither will Renn, or anyone else here for that matter! I won't allow it without a fight!" Ellysa announces.
Amaiyo blinks up at the angel girl, then giggles. "Oh, silly other angel! I'm not here on any business as of right now. I just came here because I thought it'd be fun to hang around with all of the ghosts and stuff."
"W...what?" Ellysa looks dumbfounded as she lowers her sword to the ground.
"It's true...in fact, she just stopped a wolf from attacking our living guests outside....with the...utmost efficiency..." Abernathy says the last part with a bit of unease. Amaiyo beams at the statement.
"Ah...I...see..." Ellysa looks disappointed.
"Looks like you conjured up all of that bravery for nothing....sorry..." Renn murmurs.
From an indoor balcony, overlooking the ground floor, a couple of new faces overlook the people below with grins that almost look...sly.
"What adorable new people we have here...they look alive, save for a few. Unless, those are just more ghosts here that I haven't seen yet." The girl, wearing a red dress and pigtails with a matching little top hat, leans in with her elbows on the rail. "What do you think about the little dears, Luxton...?"
"The look like odd souls...but, we've worked with stranger, now, haven't we?" The boy next to her, in a smooth green suit and a matching hat with a wide rim accompanied by a long feather at the side, traces circles on the rail idly with a finger. "Should we go down to meet them now, Sylena?"
"We'll see. I don't know, I kind of like watching the cuties from up here like this...but, they're bound to notice us soon. They look smart." Sylena giggles in response.
"Ah, yes...but, if they don't notice us soon, I'm afraid I might not be able to stand staying up here, apart from them like this..." Luxton nods with a small grin.

Portal Hoppers *REMAKE*

Kiroketsu reaches the door that is currently locking out Sephie from the rest of the world. He slightly relieved to find that there's a magic lock in place, and he hopes dearly that it'll keep her from breaking out and attacking everyone else. However, if she can break a wall- SMASH! -which it sounds like she's certainly trying to do right now, then the lock would become obsolete. That is, of course, unless it's force spreads not just on the door, but the walls also. Kiroketsu has no idea, by he knows he's got to calm this girl down somehow before she gets out, regardless. Though it sounds bad to do to a young girl, a hit to the head, or something of that effect, usually calms her down in these cases. So does defeating her in battle, and knocking her unconscious altogether. The same can possibly be said for her brother as well...though, he seems to exemplify different qualities. Scarier ones... "Sephie? Sephie, do you hear me?" Kiroketsu calls through the door. He's only got auditory techniques to work with now, since Sephie's locked in this room. Hopefully he can bring her back, because he knows she can stay like this for extended amount of time. She stayed in this volatile state once for more than 2 days, because no one could get close enough to do anything... Inside of the room, Sephie turns from the dent she's made in the wall, to the door where a vaguely familiar voice is calling her. She's not in Shava anymore. She's in a prison cell, a prisoner of the war. She's 4 years old, a child soldier in this war between all the citizens of the Demon Highlands, along with her brother and Meora. They have a war like this every week...it's horrible...but, Sephie can't focus on that now. Felixter's up there without her help somewhere. Meora, 6 years old, disappeared somewhere. Hopefully not kidnapped. She could die. They could do something horrible to her before they killed her. Disgusting demons... "Who's there?! If you've come to torture me, then I'll show no mercy if you step foot in here! I promise you by the hand of the great demon gods, damn you!" Sephie shrieks at the stranger behind the door. She knows somewhere, she's heard this voice...but, where? "Sephie, calm down." Kiroketsu keeps a cool head through all of this, acting surprisingly prepared and serious in this situation. A big change from his usual demeanor. "Can you tell me where you are? What's going on?" "I...I'm trapped! C-comrade, I'm trapped!" Sephie yells back. "Felixter and Meora are up there somewhere, in the middle of this war! I have to get out of this damned hole and help them! Can you help?! PLEASE, PLEASE!" Kiroketsu grimaces at this information. Great. She thinks she's trapped in a dungeon of the enemy during one of the Demon Highlands' wars...that definitely means that she'll be aiming to kill anyone and maybe everyone, should she break out of this room. "Sephie, please, I need ya to calm down. The war...well, this particular one you're talking about, has been over for 11 years. I-" Kiroketsu can't finish before the door is suddenly hit with a sharp blow. Sephie starts yelling out what would sound like gibberish to anyone else, but coming from the same homeland as her, Kiroketsu recognizes it as a stream of curse words in the native language of the Demon Highlands. Ammi is taken aback somewhat by Michael's actions, and his proposition of what she's done to Morgan. She huffs, slightly annoyed. "Now, Michael, really...you know I'm the goddess of motherly prowess and healing, correct? I've no reason to harm this girl. I was just taking her back here to protect her unconscious body from getting harmed further, just lying out there on the battlefield that was still being used..." Ammi puts her paws on her hips while she speaks. Though she definitely senses the difference in the air about Micheal, and his behavior, she hopes that all common sense hasn't left him, and he can still comprehend what she just said. Basically, she hopes he's not flipped into some horrible part of his mind like Sephie seems to have just done, because Ammi knows from experience that she hardly listens to a word anyone says in that state... "Well, at least Michael-kun here still recognizes his own daughter and cares for her." Meora notices the difference in Michael pretty fast also, but doesn't seem incredibly worried. That's due to her own nature, of course. Meora holds the thought that she can handle pretty much any bad situation, with her signature gun at her si- OH! Her gun! "Ah? Where did it go?!" Meora mutters, trying to search for her pistol. She hadn't been awake when Morgan put it into her own holster, so she's unaware of it's whereabouts. Meora huffs when she can find it. "Fine. Whatever. I'll use another gun for now, if I even have to..." "I would very much hope we wouldn't have to resort to violence here..." Felixter murmurs. "But, if such a thing happens...maybe you should take Mirui somewhere else, Kayori. I wouldn't want her to get upset, or caught in the crossfire." "Well...as much as I hate to leave your side...I suppose you're right..." Kayori nods slowly, not taking her eyes off of Michael's blade. "Ah, Fedoraman. I believe I do faintly remember you. It has been quite awhile, hasn't it?" Lucille laughs lightly at Fedoraman's greeting, then turns to watch Michael for a moment. She frowns a bit. "Hmm...my own nature and his actions now makes me want to hate him...and yet, his concern for his daughter and the fact that my little Sephie and Felixter here seem to know him make me feel othewise....how interesting..." "N-Ne! Matte! What do you think you're doing?!" Meora snaps towards Lucas. "You can't just walk in front of a blade! That's a terrible idea!" Felixter takes note of Lucas's actions immediately, assuming that if he doesn't do something soon, the boy will end up injured, perhaps even fatally. Felixter steps up to the side, next to Michael and Lucas, with his one regular eye set on Michael. "Michael, think carefully about what you're doing. We're your allies, remember?" Felixter's says aloud in a gravely serious tone, as if it were a matter of life or death, to help really make his words stand out. It's a technique he's tried and had work a few times with his sister. "No harm has come to Morgan. I've made sure of that this whole time, as has Ammi here, and Meora. We'd never do that. There would be no reason to do so, logically. As allies, we stick together and help each other, don't we?" While he's talking, Felixter has one hand in a pocket of his pants, prepared to use a "different" approach, should the situation become too unstable. Kayori and Mirui watch on with worry...but it's unclear on who they're truly worried about, here...

The Many Mysteries of Lavenshade Mansion ~*Fantasy RP with Ghosts*~

Amaiyo's eye continues to glitter with the utmost happiness as everyone around her continues to accept her presence. She's unfamiliar with such kindness from strangers, but she gladly accepts it. She puts her paw in Makoto's hand, and purrs when Lucas decides to pet her.
"Of course I'm with you all! I promise, I won't abandon you, friends!" Amaiyo nods. At this point, Abernathy has pretty much just given up, his head resting in his hands as he shakes it in the background of the scene.
Amaiyo is so happy, and sounds so innocent right now, that, in addition to her cute looks and little voice, she would seem almost harmless to those who don't know better.
....But that's about to change.
Suddenly, a growl is heard from father down the pathway leading up to the mansion. Amaiyo and Minako turn to see a particularly large, hostile-looking wolf, with gray fur and eyes that, for some reason, glow a dark red. It's extremely obvious that it isn't friendly in the slightest, unlike Amaiyo seems to be.
"Wolves? Here?" Minako looks a bit surprised, but then she remembers, "Oh, yeah...that's right. I had to fight a wolf on my way up to the mansion...but, this wolf doesn't look like any regular wolf. We should probably exercise caution in-"
"You wanna play, puppy? Alright then, but you'll have to play with me~!" Amaiyo is already skipping down the yard to meet up with the slavering beast before Minako can even finish her statement.
The beastly wolf lets out another growl, and races towards the dainty little cat angel, with teeth at the ready to clamp down and shred mercilessly into whatever they touch. At the last second, however, Amaiyo grabs the fur underneath the wolf's chin with one paw, and flips it completely over her head with extreme ease, leaving it to slam back-first onto the ground behind her. She sways happily from side to side, humming, seeming to actually be waiting for her opponent to get up again. The wolf gets back up in a few seconds, shaking itself off, and then going for another attack while the angel has her back turned.
"Got-cha~!" Amaiyo whips around incredibly fast, sticking her little knife into the wolf's chest. The attack obviously doesn't do a whole lot, but the 1 second pause of surprise that the beast gives is just enough for Amaiyo to shift her blade's form into that of a huge sword with branching spikes, which stab through almost every side of the wolf. She then turns her knife back to it's normal, small size, so the beast's body can fall to the ground. Though she's definitely won, Amaiyo isn't done yet. Next, the shifts her knife's form again, this time into a pair of huge scissors with jagged-edged blades. Then she unhooks them, so that she's got a blade for each paw. Amaiyo tosses the wolf's body high up into the air, and flies up after it with her wings. When she gets there, she starts slashing with her blades, faster than the eye can follow.
Amaiyo uses her wings to land daintily on her feet, and the wolf's body lands behind her....in tiny, bleeding diced cubes of fur and meat. She puts the scissors back together, turns her knife back to normal once more, puts it in her pocket, then picks up a couple of the wolf cubes and actually eats them.
"Sorry! No eating my friends~! Though, you're pretty delicious! Maybe you should've eaten yourself, or YOUR friends!" Amaiyo giggles. She turns back around, skips back up to her new friends, and beams up at them all happily. Minako is silent for a minute while she tries to take in everything she just saw.
"U-Um..." Abernathy, having lowered his hands to watch everything, now clears his throat to speak as he moves away towards the mansion's front doors. "P-perhaps now might be a good time to go back inside...before any more poor unfortunates can feel the wrath of-....er, I mean, before we get attacked by any more wolves."

Portal Hoppers *REMAKE*

"N...n-no....NO!"
Sephie wakes up with a shout, springing into sitting position. For the brief moment she first opens them, her eyes flash red before going back to their usual blue. She's panting, clutching her head while she tries to get herself back under control.
'You can't go crazy with PTSD. Not now. You don't know what that might mean for your friends! It could-RID YOU OF YOUR ENEMIES ONCE AND FOR ALL, PAINT THE WALLS RED, PAINT THEM, PAINT THEM, PAINTTHEMPAINTHEMPAINTHEMSPLATTERSPLATTERSPLATTER-'
"Ah!" Sephie digs her claws into her scalp, unable to find solace within even her own thoughts. It feels like she's losing this time, and that she won't be able to stop herself. She curls up in the middle of the bed and wraps her wings around herself, trembling, fighting to keep herself sane. Then, she realizes...the sheets were messed up before she even got up.
Someone else was here.
"W...what...?!" Sephie blinks, trying to think of who that could be. The scent, she recognizes it....is it Michael? If so, why isn't he here? There's no blood, but...did she do something horrible? Is...is he dead?
"No...nononono....nonononononNOOO!" Sephie cries out, and suddenly, she stops all movement. She drops her paws back to her side, and the pupils of her eyes shrink. She grins, slowly releasing herself from her wings, and getting up to move towards the door. She finds it to be locked. Sephie growls, and slashes the door, leaving long claw marks down it. She then proceeds to try and find a window, or any other way to break free. Of course, in this situation, what will probably end up happening is that she'll go through every weapon in that bag on her side, mercilessly beating on the walls of the room and the door, until she finds something, anything living that she can splatter the blood of...
"Get you a beer?! Eh, what do I look like, a bartender?! I'm tending to a distraught young lady here!" Kiroketsu calls back at Joe, then turns his full attention back to Mirui with a grin, setting her down ever so gently on the floor next to her, and taking a bow. "We've arrived, my fair lady."
"That was cool!" Mirui claps her hands together in glee. Kiroketsu flashes her a mischievous look in return, "Well, if you really wanna have a good time with me, we could-"
"NOPE." Kayori hurries over to stand in between Mirui and Kiroketsu, even though she's just about the shortest, most petite person in the lobby at the moment, and both of them are the tallest.
"-GO FLY AROUND WITH OUR FRIENDS IN A RACE. GEEZ, LET ME FINISH BEFORE YOU JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS!" Kiroketsu finishes, huffing at Kayori.
"Your behavior leaves absolutely no room for that, and you know it." Kayori glares back at him.
"Well I-" Kiroketsu can't finish before he's cut off by something else. His eyes widen, and he drops everything he was doing.
"Kiroketsu, what's wrong?" Felixter takes a more serious tone with the guardian spirit. He's seen enough over the years to know what this very well could mean, regarding his sister.
"Seph. She's up, and even though none of us woke her up in the middle of her dream...it seems one of the worst things has happened." Kiroketsu seems to have gotten more serious as well, already turning to head upstairs and guard Sephie's room. Maybe try to stop her, should she manage to get out somehow.
"The troubles just never end..." Ammi lets out a weary sigh, looking out onto the battlefield.
"Stay here?! Tch...alright, I guess. I still hate having to miss out on all of the fun like this...." Meora utters a mild protest in response to Morgan telling her to stay in the hotel. She obeys, however, and instead watches the battle with Ammi.
"Ah! Morgan-chan!" Meora blinks when her friend is sent into unconsciousness from using up so much power. She starts to move towards the doors of the hotel to help, but Ammi grabs her shoulder, and shakes her head. "I'll get her. It's safer that way. Besides, I still have to check her and everyone else for injuries. It's sort of my job, isn't it?"
Meora lets out a reluctant sigh. "...Hai, Ammi-sama..."
Ammi chuckles a bit at this, then spreads out her wings of golden flame, and takes flight through the hotel doors. She quickly flies around The Tortured to evade it's attacks aimed on the hotel, and gets to the ground to carefully pick up Morgan. Ammi makes sure to completely avoid both the big wooden titan, and Michael's attacks also, while getting his daughter back into the hotel lobby. Making it back inside, she sets the girl down gently, propping her up against a wall.
"There we are." Ammi beams, then turns back to look at everyone else. "So, after I check Morgan here for injuries, who wants to be healed next?"
"You don't think that it's a tab bit early for that, Ammi dear?"
Ammi and the others turn at the sound of a familiar voice, which comes closer from up the stairs to the hotel's front door. Making her way inside is a very tall woman, just a bit taller than Mirui, but just a bit shorter than Kiroketsu. She wears a formal, lacy black dress with darker red details, and a black hat with a veil to match, which partially hides her unusually beautiful hazel eyes. Her ludicrously long, dark silver hair trails behind her as she walks, and her hands are covered by dark red gloves, smelling ever so faintly of blood...
"Lucille." Felixter mutters. "Do you have something to do with my sister's current state...?"
"No. In fact, that's why I came. As the technical owner of your souls, and as my dear little hellions, It's my job to look after you, is it not? I couldn't just leave you here alone...though, I do know how excellent Ammi's care is." Lucille explains with a soft, but slightly eerie smile. She doesn't seem like an enemy....yet...

Nimika waits politely for all of the demons on the council to be seated, before clearing her throat and beginning to state her cause.
"My hopeful allies, I have come here to let you know why I've made my way to Shava, and how you could possibly take part in a grand new land. You see, my employer, Kebaratsu, or as we call him, "The Master", has chased after a specific group of rebels for years now, as they're threatening his ascent into becoming a demon god, and hold a secret that threatens the proud, grandly evil land of the Demon Highlands. These rebels are in Shava now, by request of Fedoraman, and I, as well as my sisters, have been sent after them as usual. If help in this matter could be obtained by those of such high stature, yourselves, .....then I'm positive that our needs could be met, and the Demon Highlands will grow. You'll be compensated handsomely. Maybe even become rulers of the lands as well, as they expand and take over the world..."

The Aftermath- Dark (as in genre, not pokemon type) Pokemon RP

"Hmph. Alright then." Sephie watches Serph rush off, then turns to Ai-yu. "Ai, we're going to see just what this is all about." Ai-yu nods in reply. Sephie then glances back at the rest of her Pokemon. "I want all of you guys to stay here and guard everyone else here, okay?" "Whaaaaat?" Euphoria looks heartbroken. "No! I might finally have a chance to plaaaay! PLEEEEEASE, SEPHIE, PLEEEEEEEEEEEEE-" "Ack! Okay, okay. Euphie, you can come too. But seriously, the rest of you stay here and help out, unless I call for you." Sephie chuckles a bit as Euphoria prances happily up to her side. "Will do, Sephie." Pipley agrees with a polite nod. "Should I need to, I won't hold back." He winks. "I'm counting on that." Sephie grins before turning her back and following Serph. Meanwhile, Aruba has nearly reached the clearing where mostly everyone has gathered together, when she runs into new auras heading right in her direction. One is another Lucario...and the other two are a pair of closely-resonating ones, which she recognizes all to well. In the shadows, she stops right on top of the auras, and then jumps down at them with a weak attempt at an attack. She means for the pair to dodge, as they do. "Well, well...I had my doubts...but, the cape seals it." Sephie smirks. "Long time, no see..." "...Despite what you say, I don't know you. Not anymore, at least." Aruba growls back, though she con only look at Sephie while saying this, and not Ai-yu. The little pink Celebi is making a dreadfully saddened face, with big green eyes that would tug at anyone's heartstrings. "Ruru! Ruru, it's us! You...you have to remember me, right? We were best friends! You saved me!" Ai-yu tries to plead with the Lucario, but she's cold and unresponsive towards Ai-yu altogether. "Well then, I have to ask, what are you doing tracking down strangers?" Sephie crosses her arms, raising a brow. "My job." Aruba's reply is brisk as she rushes forward to try and attack Sephie. Sephie doesn't move an inch. "HI, GUYS!" Euphoria dives in front of her trainer with a frightening grin stretched across her face. Aruba is caught off guard by this expression, and even more so by the Pixilated Hyper Voice that Euphoria lets loose. Aruba is flung back, but she lands on her feet again, gritting her teeth. "Ugh..." Aruba glares at Euphoria, then at Sephie. "Tch...Kalos Pokemon...who do you even have left from your roots, then? From Sinnoh?" "How does someone who's supposed to not know who I am anymore know that I originally started out there?" Sephie counters, wagging a finger and looking very amused. Aruba only growls again in frustration, which causes Sephie to laugh. "Alright, I'll give you a break here. I've still got many of my Sinnoh friends...Raven's here right now. If you'd be so kind as to quit trying to beat me up, I'm sure she'd love to chat with you again." "Heh...nice try...but I can't." Aruba huffs back. "I'd hope so. It would simply be a shame if he went on being an idiot forever more, wouldn't it?" Rythian nods at Aqua with a small chuckle. He glances around the area after mention of his two friends, "Hm...perhaps. It's not like those two to get lost...but, they're so energetic sometimes that they both have a bad habit of 'leaping without looking', so to speak...but, they aren't bad. True, one of them likes to steal, but we're doing our best to fix that." "S-should we even try going back now? I'm a little scared, Electricia..." Mystarii doesn't move from her spot, where just a minute ago she was cowering in front of a Revolutioneer Lucario. Electricia is next to her, not moving either, unless you count her shaking. "I don't know...I mean, Rythian isn't a Trained Pokemon...but, didn't he say he used to be a Revolutioneer? What if that one just now recognizes him, and now there's trouble up there?" Before the two friends can come up with a decisive plan of action, they're confronted by Sha, which only frightens them anew. "G-GAH! NO, NOT AGAIN! Please, Revolutioneers, don't hurt us, w-we're Scattered!" Mystarii cries. "W-wait...shiny Zoroark? You know where Rythian is?" Electricia's ears perk up, and she grab's her friend's arm. "Mystarii! Hey, this guy's offering to take us back to Ry!" "R...R-really?!" Mystarii brightens up. "Oh, thank goodness! Let's go!" Mystarii helps Electricia onto Sha's back first, since she's smaller, and then climbs on as well. Montainum, in his study, glances at the small cloaked figure. He pauses with thought for a moment, then nods. "Yes...go ahead. Perhaps that is best..." Darkclaw, meanwhile, has made his way back to the base by now. "I certainly hope Aruba's adhering to the rules down there....she knows what'll happen it she doesn't..." Darkclaw chuckles evilly to himself. In the recesses of the base, back in the room with the cages, Tatakumei is undergoing her own battle. She's practicing against the bars of her cage, attempting both to weaken the metal, and to make herself stronger. She can only become a Lucario when she's strong, and can see the sun. She can see the sun, and she'll be strong enough, when she can break out of her own cage. Tatakumei holds these beliefs tight in her heart, hoping to make her mother proud...

The Many Mysteries of Lavenshade Mansion ~*Fantasy RP with Ghosts*~

"Oh...I know that..." Myriatte laughs lightly at Makoto's words. "Makes sense...you seem to be like me. A demon monster lurks within you, and you must struggle with control...I mean, look at me. It's been a few centuries, and I still can't get a hold of myself..."
"He's right. We won't stop our investigations here until we've uncovered the truth, and found a way to free everyone trapped here. Maybe we could find a way to help you also...it just depends on where the path leads." Minako states her agreement with Makoto's last comment.
"You have my respect, regardless....s-so brave you are...for coming here..." Myriatte puts a hand to her face, covering half of it in an attempt to mask the mad grin making it's way back onto her expression.
"I believe it's time you went back to your room, my dear..." Abernathy looks down upon the girl sadly. Myriatte cackles madly for a moment, but furiously shakes her head at the same time.
"Y...Y-yes, Will...I...I should...go...b-before....ehehehe!" She covers her face completely with both hands, tears slipping through the cracks in her fingers while she laughs crazily. She runs off in a hurry, disappearing back inside of the mansion. Abernathy sees her off with a depressed, solemn expression.
"That girl..." Abernathy sighs, shaking his head. "If only..."
"Hello!"
Suddenly, a new, cute little voice it at the group's side. Minako and Abernathy turn to see Amaiyo in front of them. Abernathy is immediately taken aback, backing up a few steps, and looking even paler than his ghostly self already was.
"A-...A-A.....A...." Abernathy is absolutely quaking with fear. Minako looks completely confused.
"Abernathy? What's wrong?" Minako asks.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault..." Amaiyo sighs dejectedly. "Everyone's scared of me..."
"You don't look that scary to me...I mean, there's some blood on you, yeah...but, it's not so bad." Minako replies, and in the background, Abernathy lets out a cry of shock at the oblivious girl, and starts hurriedly making a "NO, STOP" motion with his hands.
"It's because I'm also an Angel of Death. A rather notorious one." Amaiyo continues, looking up at Minako with that one, adorably big blue eye. "But, I promise, I don't actively seek out victims!...I just do what I feel I have to...I'm only here because I saw people, and wanted to have some fun..."
"Well...as long as you aren't seeking out people to murder just for the fun of it, and are sticking with what your job commands, I really don't see the issue." Minako smiles lightly down at the cute little cat angel. "What's your name? I'm Minako."
"I'm Amaiyo, miss!" Amaiyo's one eye glitters with happiness at Minako's words. She reaches out a paw to the human girl. "Let's be friends! Please!"
"Heh, alright then..." Minako shrugs, and bends down the little angel's paw, since she stands at only about 1 foot tall. At that moment, a small beetle lands on Minako's back. She doesn't notice, but little Amaiyo does.
"Oh! Friend, there's a bug on your back! Don't worry! As your friend, I'll get it for you!" Amaiyo grins. Before Minako can say anything else, the angel takes her little knife out of her pocket, and holds it out. Suddenly, it changes into the form of a huge scythe, which curves around Minako's entire body. It Amaiyo were to pull back towards herself sharply, it'd bisect Minako and kill her. Pulling back is exactly what Amaiyo does, but she stops right when the blade touches Minako's back. Minako it still and silent, looking a bit uneasy, and extremely tense. Amaiyo giggles, and shift the blade back into its regular little knife form, holding it up for Minako to see the dead bug's corpse on it, its body bisected instead of hers, thankfully.
"I got it, see?" Amaiyo looks so proud of what she's done. "I'm really a good friend when you get to know me!"
"Y-yeah..." That's really the only reply that Minako can muster up, still a bit surprised at what just happened.
'Guess that's what I get for making friends with anyone around here...' She thinks to herself.
Ellysa jumps off of Fred once they get inside of the mansion, and hurries away to warn others of Amaiyo's appearance. It could mean anything. She could be here to claim a ghostly resident for the underworld, or kill one of the new living people here. Or, she could just be here to 'play'. Ellysa wasn't sure which reason scared her more.
Aimlessly wandering around in one hall of the mansion, Renn has a look of boredom and depression to her. Of course, that's sort of her default expression, as a Despair Demon.
"REEEEEENNNNNNNNNNN!"
Renn is caught by surprise when she spots her angel friend rushing down the hall towards her.
"Ellysa? Ellysa, what's-AH!" Renn cries out in surprise when Ellysa grabs her by the shoulders and shakes her a bit.
"RENN! THE ANGEL OF DEATH IS HERE! AMAIYO! NO ONE IS SAFE ANYMORE!" Ellysa shouts.
"A-Angel of Death....?!" Renn blinks. "W-why...?"
"I DON'T KNOW, THAT'S THE SCARIEST PART, IS THAT I DON'T KNOW!" Ellysa replies. "But, don't fear, Renn! Don't panic! I shall protect you 'til the bitter end!" Ellysa raises her sword in the air.
"...I...think you're panicking more than me...." Renn murmurs quietly.

The Aftermath- Dark (as in genre, not pokemon type) Pokemon RP

"Well, I'm typically not one to dive into fights with strangers anyway. My name's Sephie, and it's a pleasure to meet you." Sephie introduces herself with a small bow, which ends up unraveling her scarf a bit. While she hurries to put it back on, she listens to Serph's words concerning the pokeflute, and she grins. "Ah, so your friend is a human, then. I was wondering just how many people dared to be out adventuring anymore. Those Revolutioneers...they've done some considerable damage, it would seem...even to me." Her tone grows darker as she unconsciously reaches a hand up back to her scarf and grips it. Ai-yu blinks at the Lucario, and the little shiny Celebi is flooded with glee at having the Lucario so pleased to see her. For the first time in awhile, she speaks up, "T-thank you..." "Ah, so the little one speaks! I was beginning to wonder if you'd lost your voice for real this time, Ai." Sephie laughs, seeming to have forgotten all about whatever dark moment she'd had just a moment ago. Sephie turns to Serph again, gesturing to the Celebi clinging to her shoulder. "This is Ai-yu. She was a gift from the future. Another Celebi, dying, entrusted her to me..." When the music from the flute starts up, Sephie's group of Pokemon are caught by the joyous feeling, and start dancing amongst each other. Ai-yu does loops and whirls in the air, Sephie dances with both Pipley and Euphoria, and even Raven and Sachiko are caught moving to the beat a little, however much they try to hide it. In the middle of the dance, however, Ai-yu slows to a bit of a stop. Her eyes glow bright green, and lose their pupils for a minute while she stares off into space. Sephie catches this almost immediately, and, moves closer to the odd little Celebi. "Hey, Ai, everything okay?" Sephie asks. "...Someone.....is over there...they're hostile towards us..." Ai-yu murmurs quietly. "Hm...is that so?" Pipley mutters. "Well...Ai-yu's never been wrong before. Tch, and we were having such a good time. A pity, it is..." Instead of any of her Pokemon picking it up, Sephie picks up the doubtful, angry aura from somewhere close. It only adds to her concerns about what is to come... "Aqua...?" Rythian echoes, staring down at the Eevee. The name does ring faint bells in his head. He grins. "Well, well. How nice to see you again! Glad you're still well. Just as cheery as ever." He's partially unaware of the fact that he's also moving a bit to the beat of the song all the while. He thinks for a moment on Darkclaw's motives. "Well...I believe he's just a power-junkie. I used to be with him, as a Revolutioneer. But...as soon as the real carnage started, I decided to bow out. I pretended to be dead to get out of it, and I've been here ever since. I've got two other friends I look out for...a rather odd Pichu, and a rather odd Meowth. I wonder where those girls could be..." "Hey, do you hear that?" In their part of the forest, Mystarii can just faintly pick up the sound of Ven's flute. Electricia perks up her ears. "Y-yeah, I think I do! The song changed, but there's surely can't be two pokeflute users here, can there?!" Electricia's eyes light up with a bit of relief. "Sweet! Now all we have to do is follow the sound, and-EEEEEP!" Mystarii suddenly lets out a cry of surprise when a tall, powerful figure rushes out in front of them, bringing the two Pokemon to a complete and terrified halt. "Stop right there." The female Lucario in the cape narrows her eyes at the two trembling pokemon before her. Her mind is protesting, pointing out how cruel it is for her to terrorize such small pokemon, but she pushes those back. 'Think about Tatakumei, Aruba. Think about Tatakumei...' "Are you two of the Trained?" Aruba growls. "N-no, miss! We're just Scattered..." Electricia whimpers. ""Y...You're a Revolutioneer, aren't ya?!" Mystarii's fur spikes up with fear. "P-please! Don't kidnap and torture us! W-we're just lost!" In the middle of the ongoing please from the two smaller Pokemon, Aruba picks up auras coming towards her, as well as the sound of a flute in the distance. Only a human could play it that well. She has to be quick about this if she wants to get something done. Aruba turns back to the two smaller Pokemon in front of her. "I won't kidnap you if you point me in the direction of that flute. There must be those of the Trained variety there." Aruba tells them. "Y-yes ma'am! They've got to be that way! Down there, I-I think! We're lost, so..." Electricia points her in the direction that they came from. "Very well. Speak of me to no one, or else." Aruba turns and rushes off in a hurry, under the cover of the tree's shadows. She grows ever closer to the flute, having the slight urge to dance...but finding the strength to overpower it through thinking strictly about her work and her daughter's fate.
