Drawn Deeper Into Darkness (Open to evil groups)

[Omni]

Erebus was wandering aimlessly through the darkness of the fortress. He was furious about all his recent losses. "I'm better than this! I need to get stronger so I can attain vengence on those worms that humiliated me. I WILL HAVE MY VENGENCE!" He snarled, raging with fury. "I would do anything to get that edge I need..."

((Any evil organizations looking to recruit my Gastly, feel free to here.))

[Sephalesh]

A floating Lunatone appeared behind the Ghastly. The red eye instantly filled with dissapointment at seeing the pokemon. "Your not Mira, or any of those other fools. What, may I ask, are you doing, here?" The lunatone asked. Behind the floating moon was a floating pokemon, who clearly didn't want to be there. That was the Lunatone's prisoner.

[Omni]

Erebus spun, still in a blind rage. "What's it to you?!" He snarled at the Lunatone. "Not that it's any of your business, but I was trying to figure out how to get some payback on those know-it-all thorn in my side pokemon who humiliated me before." His eyes fell heatedly on a Duskull who wandered by, fleeing quickly from his intimidating gaze. He hadn't even had to use Mean Look.

[Sephalesh]

The lunatone didn't even flinch. He had been under more pressure than this before. "But, that is where you are mistaken, my freind. I have a long feud with The tyrant clan, or Mira. I would like to see them dead, much more than you would." The lunatone said. He lazily looked back at the prisoner he held with psychic.

[Omni]

"Never heard of them." Erebus spat. Then rethinking his standing, he changed his tone. "Wait... so we both want revenge... And you seem competent." he added, referring to the prisoner. "And I wonder... is there anything we could gain from each other?" He smirked. If not, he would just take this pokemon down, and gain some fighting experience.

[Sephalesh]

The lunatone smiled, if one could call the curve of his lip a smile. "You like this tool?" He said letting his gaze wander back to the prisoner. "Then you may have it. As for benefits, think of math. You are strong as you are, but if you had defeated mira, you would be dead. She had an entire clan behind her, while you had only yourself. Think of the underhanded trickery that let her win. One of her buddies must have done something to stop you, such a powerful ghastly from winning. Now, if you had other pokemon to deal with these 'cheaters,' you could have had a fair fight, and would have no doubt, won. Is that right?" the lunatone said elegantly to the ghastly. The flailing prisoner moved towards the ghastly pulled by an unseen force. Then it dropped to the ground next to the ghastly, eyeing the lunatone fearfully.

[Omni]

"Yeah... that's right!" Erebus said, suddenly cocky again. "It was an unfair match is all... If it weren't for that flute, I would've torn her to pieces!" His voice regained it's steadiness. "That Larvitar is a dirty cheat. I won't stand for that! I'll just have to take her down proper this time!" He looked down at the pokemon, then back up to the Lunatone. "Tell me more about what you had in mind to stop the others from interfering..."

((What pokemon is it?))

[Sephalesh]

(The beauty of that is, being an NPC, you can choose what it is.)

The lunatone's eye gleamed faintly. Looking from the prisoner to the ghastly with it's dead glare. "You know that you couldn't beat her at her own game, if you had to stop each person from helping her cheat, because so many could b helping at once, but what if. . ." the lunatone looks around carefully. "What if, you had a hundred pokemon behind you, to her hundred pokemon? Then, you would not only have a fair match, with your allies stopping her allies, but you could destroy her entire kingdom, if your pokemon fought her pokemon in a fair fight." The lunatone twisted about and motioned to the prisoner next to the ghastly. "Everybody knows that you would win in a fair fight, but like I said, that wasn't one on one. It was one against twenty, so the only thng you could do to make it a fair fight is even up the numbers, right?" the lunatone finished.

[Omni]

Erebus was silent, looking at the ground. From another pokemon's point of view, it would look like he was concerned about something, or put off. Suddenly though, a malicious cackle escaped the ghost pokemon, turning to a full blown dark laugh. "YES! It's perfect. A hundred pokemon behind me... and that Larvitar all by itself against me, without those meddlesome followers of hers!" He looked to his new quivering pokemon slave, which he just now noticed was a Bagon. Turning his face back to the Lunatone, he continued. "I can definately get behind that plan."

((I've GTG withing the next 10 min. or so. Is this thread endable soon? If not we can finish it later, just wondering. No worries either way.))

[Sephalesh]

(It will be endable in two or three more posts. Depends on when you leave. I have to leave as well, but I will post soon after you, when i can. By the way, what do you think of this lunatone here?)

The lunatone did a slight bow. "The real question is where you can get such an army? There are plenty of ways, but as you just saw, that one right there just doubled your number. From one to two, and so on." The lunatone said looking back towards the way he had come. "It the end it is just a problem of math. This is the horde, where thousands of pokemon live, and thrive off of the others who take all that we deserve in the world. What can a measly hundred do against thousands? Nothing. A powerful ghastly such as yourself has the potential to control it all, such power at your finger tips is hard to find anywhere else." The lunatone waited for an awnser. He really didn't need the prisoner anyway, since he could always get another. There were almost as many prisoners as there were horde members.

[Omni]

"Horde eh?" Erebus was almost drooling with the thought of all that power. "Whatever it takes. I'll follow what you say, and take this power into my possession. With it, I will, as you said, 'thrive off of the others who take what we deserve'." All of this talk was making Erebus feel as powerful as the Lunatone made him sound. "All those who oppose me will fall... Starting with that Mira!" The Bagon quivered more as he said this, and Erebus snickered. "So my Lunatone ally... Where to start?"

((I like it. Smooth talking, and strategic. Very well played. Also, just the perfect character to get my Gastly worked up. He's so power hungry and egocentric, he's putty in the hands of anyone who flatters him like that. This is working out well.))

[Sephalesh]

A small rock zoomed towards the Lunatone, controlled by his psychic. "You shall begin by demonstrating your power to those other than me. Pokemon only beleive with their eyes, and not all pokemon can see what I see in you, until you show it to them. The bagon, for example, doesn't know your power. Teach them, and they will follow, no matter how jealous they are, if you are more powerful. You may still be weaker than some, but then again, you are not even close to your prime. A pokemon like you shall only grow stronger, while they are doomed only to the power they have. Wherever you start, your final obstacle to total control of the horde, will be the shadow lord, your predecessor. When you show Mira your power, she will have no choice, but to yield." The lunatone gave another short bow, turned and began floating away. he had shot the proud ghastly like an arrow, towards the foolish overlord girl, and no names were passed between them. The lunatone doubted if they would meet again. Still, The ghastly had every bit of potential that the Lunatone had said. He had an eye for it. His red eye surveyed the world around him, searching for promise.

[Omni]

Erebus, stuck on his god-complex, was glowing with determination. "Yes... I will make this a reality. This will be my future... my destiny! They will bow to me, and rightfully so! My strength will know no equal, and the world will see... They will see that I am a force to be reconed with!" He looked down to the Bagon. "And you will follow me. You will do this either by heeding my every order, or be my first victim in the display of my power. Do I make myself entirely clear?" The frightened Bagon nodded vigorously in response, scared out of its wits. "Then it begins."

[Sephalesh]

(Leaving thread. Hope you have fun in the horde.)
