The suicune nodded at Chancol's request for a name. "Kiyoshi," she answered. She stood and bowed shortly to the two, seeing as they were the ones in charge. She laughted softly at the whole "sense of justice" part of Chancol's statement. "Now we know that not everything in the light has their loyalties there," she told him.
She then looked at Zilla. "Are you always this quiet?" she asked.

The charmeleon took the opportunity to answer for the rayquaza, "From the time she's been here, I haven't found her to be this quiet." Admittedly, he was taking a liking to the silence from Zilla, "Whenever she opens her mouth or does something, it has a mocking or angry tone to it. By the way, if you care to tell us, what's up?" he asked the legendary in question. Since he wasn't nearly as tall as the rayquaza, the charmeleon repositioned himself by disintegrating into what seemed to be a cloud of black sand. then reforming upon one of the Fortress walls in order to get an eye-to-eye view.

Zilla ignored him, still not accepting him as a being of darkness, the little skill he'd shown so far proving nothing as to why Erymire lived in fear of its great Shadowlord. Of course, there had been three more since that time of fear, so maybe he just couldn't live up to the title. In which case, the Horde no problem at all to her.
Zilla's eyes remained on Kiyoshi, but for the first time since this Suicune had arrived, Zilla spoke. She said a single word but new immediatly she was going to get a reaction from it. "Rayzor."

Kiyoshi stared at Zilla. "What of him?" she asked, a confused look on her face. "I have never met him, but have heard a great deal of stories," she continued, still wondering where the dark legendary was going with this. ((Forgive the short post...  )) |

"What do you think of him?" her voice was a mixture of emotions, excitement, power, control and a hidden triumph, making it sound quite intimidating. She could sense a lie from a mile away, so if this Suicune was a friend of Rayzors, she would know. If she did like him but said she didn't Zilla would know and it wouldn't last another two seconds. If it did like and did talk about rayzor, the same fate would become of her. And if she avoided the question completely, it obviously had something to hide and would be in the same predicement it would have been if it had told the truth. ZIlla smirked to herself. <Get yourself out of that one, Miss Kiyoshi,> she thought to herself.

Kiyoshi laughed at Zilla. "I'm sorry, but you sound close to obsessed," she muttered, shaking her head. But she got herself together and a careless smile came to her face.
"As I said before, I don't know much about him. Neither do I care, really. He hasn't caused me any trouble, so I hold no grudge against him," she answered, her whole mind and heart focussed on that subject.

<Intellegent, huh?> she said. <Still, shouldn't be two hard to cause trouble here.> SHe slid around Kiyoshi, circling her with her long tail. "You know, I don't think you're being totally honest with me, and thats a very bad move to make wirth me, oh very bad indeed!" she said. "So I'll give you another chance to tell me everything, and then I'll force you to.

Sitting there, Chancol watched the two females bicker back and forth over what information was known about Rayzor. Despite initial confusion, the charmeleon had already made the decision to play into the suicune's possible ploy, any voice of loyalty to Rayzor would give him reason to put constant mental and physical stress upon Kiyoshi until she succumbed to the shadows. Of course looking for loyalty wouldn't be the charmeleon's main focus: any plans or information that could be obtained pertaining to Rayzor--or more importantly Alcatraz--would be great.
~Ah, being Shadow Lord provides no entertainment...no challenge to it...~ the laid-back charmeleon thought to himself as he intently watched as Zilla took an offensive against the Suicune's strange reasons for being here. ~Now...who's gonna fold first?~ Quite some time ago the deadfire charmeleon chose to rest in a nearby building that had a large portion of a corner wall torn off, navy blue irises focused upon the two with a small smile upon his face. He knew he barely had control over the Horde--most of which were much to incompetent or possibly rebellious--and no control over this suicune and Zilla, who was obviously too hot headed and impatient to successfully work with.
As he sat silently away from the two females, the charmeleon thought ~It's too boring to keep all these allies around...how come we can't just ditch the whole Horde idea and take off solo, and unlike the previous two Shadow Lords, how 'bout we bring the fight to the Light?~
The response came from a voice that held much experience behind it, its tone as cool and calm as Chancol's yet the only difference at that specific moment was the humor behind it, ~In due time... you think quite differently from the others, you shall be able to move freely soon enough...~

Zilla froze, ears (do Rayquazas have ears?) pricked at the sound of Chancols thoughts. Though she didn't exactly 'hear' thoughts, more sense them, she always lifter her ears instinctively. She looked from Kiyoshi up to Chancol. <You want a challenge you can have one... but I'm busy at the moment, this puppy is hiding something, and pretty well. But that still doesn't explain her presence in the first place. As for the lizard, Kuro can keep an eye on him whilst I'm busy.> Zilla looked over at the seemingly forgotten Moltres on the tree. He winced as he looked at her. He'd hoped she'd forgotten about him, but he'd been too scared to move anyway. Zilla flicked her head towards Chancol and Kuro opened his wings obediently and flew to the building Chancol was in, shuffling his wings angrily.

Chancol couldn't help but utter a quiet laugh when Kuro was forced to 'track' him, of course the charmeleon wasn't exactly trying to run, but he left it up to his imagination to figure out why Zilla was trying to keep tabs on him even if she saw him as no threat. "Ah, still remaining loyal to your master, eh?" the charmeleon asked, somewhat tauntingly, even adding a chuckle to the end of his question to emphasize. Slowly stirring, Chancol got up from lying on his stomach and stretched his limbs out before he hopped up to the same ledge that the moltres was on.
Deciding to be blunt, the current Shadow Lord gave one more question to the obedient bird, "Wouldn't you rather be free than caged?" he asked, nothing else, no hints, no suggestions; seeing what this bird was made of interested him for now.

Kiyoshi smiled, amused at the bird-legendary. They were very much the same, after all. In more ways than he could imagine.
She turned her attention to the impatient dragon. She seemed bored now, but an all-knowing smirk was on her face. "I understand your doubt...I certainly would be much more critical if it were me," she stated, looking Zilla through. She was not afraid of her; she had no reason to be. "You have no reason to believe me," she shrugged, braking her gaze. "But..." she paused.
"I'm the only chance you've got at even gettingclose to the light side."

"Of course I would you imbicile, do you think I enjoy being bossed around by a giant black worm?" he huffed. He instantly winced, thinking Zilla would attack him for that comment, but she was too busy with the Suicune to notice.
Zilla finished her circle and curled down so her face was level with Kiyoshi's, her nose practically touching that of the dogs. "I have a very great chance of getting close to the light side, specifically Rayzor. And would you like to know how?" She pulled away, from it and faced a portion of the Forretress that hadn't yet been knocked down. She opened her mouth and a vicious black dragon breath leapt out, circling the tower before smashing it to pieces. She turned round again. "Imagine that on a much much bigger scale, so big that Erymire can't simply ignore it. Death and destruction, my two favourite words, and forunately, Rayzors two least favourite."
(It is sooooo fun roleplaying as an impatiant big-headed angry brat a.k.a. Zilla XD)

Chancol fell out laughing when the moltres flinched, expecting some sort of punishment, "Ah, its quite ironic how being a legendary doesn't your chance of becoming someone's 'pet'. You're lack of free will amuses me, you'd rather be enslaved for the rest of your life rather than fight for it knowing you'll lose?" he chuckled. "Think of how long both you and Zilla will live, you a few decades while she'll live for quite some damned time--this world certainly isn't one I'd remain for such a time. You're wasting your time, eventually you'll be at the end of your lifespan while she continues to boss you around...or..." he took a pause just for the heck of it, "She'll kill you off right when she's done with you. Either way it'll be the same fate. Either live in humiliation of a submissive, beaten-up pet. Or go out as a legendary who fought for its freedom."
The charmeleon motioned to the destruction of the nearby tower without so as much as an uneasy look, "As I mentioned before...that'll be you some time down the road..." he chuckled.

Kiyoshi simply looked at the small amount of destruction. "I see you like blowing things up. Slightly frightening, but ignorable," she grumbled under her breath.
Sighing heavily, seeing that she wouldn't be able to do much with the large snake around her, she pondered what Chancol had said. Yes, the Shadowlord was wise, she gave him that. She agreed: It was better to die for freedom than to die a slave. She had no doubt that the bird would be killed once Zilla was done with him.
((I feel bad, leaving Luna out. But I don't know what to do with her. She's still there, so don't think she's dead or gone away or anything. Just letting ya'll know.))

Zilla was silent, but not for very long this time. "I'm glad you found my little display frightening, and as for ignorable, just wait til I do it to the whole of Erymire. And who will stop me? Rayzor of course, putting him right where I want him," she smirked, looking at the sky in the place the hyper beam had come from. She turned to face Kiyoshi, eyebrow raised. "You have concern for the sparrow?" she asked, referring to Kuro. She looked up at Chancol and 'the sparrow'. "Yes most likely I will kill him, if I'm bored and he's no longer needed. But don't go putting ideas in his head, as it would be better to be a pet then die in my hands." Her last was to Chancol and Kuro, rather than Kiyoshi. A ratatta scuttled past her, trying to reach a berry it had dropped. ZIlla's eyes locked onto it and it froze in its place, unable to move. She opened her mouth and spat a purple substance at it. It hit the ratatta and it was free to move again. It whined loudly and twisted and rolled to get the purple stuff off it, but every second it became weaker and weaker. It was screaming out in pain, but Zilla didn't help it, she just smirked at its torture. The ratatta was finally bevome to an extremely slow and excruciatingly painful death. "Well that was fun," said Zilla, still smiling. SHe looked over to Kuro, who shrank back, thinking she'd do the same to im. "Trust me Kuro, that one of my nicer attacks, would you like to force me to use something worse on you?" Kuro shook his head in silence. "I thought not." Kuro was terrified of death or pain, so Zilla's performance just made him even more scared of her. (Oooooo nasty Zilla! I no likey her anymore  ) Red eyes flashed in the shadows nearby, large cat-like, blood-red eyes. A flash of yellow, quickly appeared and disappeareed, before appearing again, solid. The yellow was rings in strategic place around the eyes. A gleam of moonlight hit an ivory horn, bouncing the light off it to give it a bright white gleam. All this happened in a few seconds, and a creature stepped out of the darkness. An Umbreon, mixed with Houndoom. Zeelo, making his classic entrance. The hybrid stepped towards the building, bowed at Chancol and walked over to Luna, who had been unnoticed for some time now. Zeelo's only purpose in life was to serve the Shadowlord, at least thats what he had been taught for as long as he could remember. But could that change now?Could there be something more important than the protection of the Shadowlord? "Luna," he whispered in her ear. "Luna, come with me, I want to show you something." EDIT: (Wow I didn't realise I'd written so much!) |

Kiyoshi was angry now, watching the poor rat. It had done nothing to Zilla. She quickly removed the emotion from her face, though she knew the rayquaza would know. The thought sickened her: Kuro, a minor legendary like herself, getting killed. Maybe that's where the sypathy came from. The fact that they had that in common and had around the same level of power had brought this emotion. She knew she was stronger because she knew how to use her power, and wasn't completely controlled by another.
Meanwhile, Luna had watched as the new visitor made his way toward her. Memories flooded back of when this very pokemon took her to the dungeons, where she met Chancol and became a member of the horde. She wasn't sure if she was gratefull or...No. She was grateful. She liked her life the way it was, so far.
What was this? He wanted her to come with him? She glanced at the Shadowlord. After seeing that he probably would be fine, she nodded to Zeelo. "Alright," she whispered back, not wantin to get the attention of the snake-pokemon.

"You feel for him? Why? And the rat? Your emotions are messed up, you care for creatures of such little importance its getting the better of you and you're too weak to control them. Guilt, fear, pain, sorrow and pity, they aren't needed. Nor is love, a pathetic emotion that can take control of your mind. You think someones there for you but they're not, they're lying, they never want you, they have more important business, you are just on the sidelines." Her voice was getting stronger and angrier as she continued.

Chancol's sigh portrayed his disappointment in the lack of display towards the bird, ~Hehe, I had been expecting more of a demonstration on him instead of some little rat...~ a smirk still held on his face as he shook his head. ~She may be feisty...but there's no fun to her...her seriousness almost matches her strangeness~ he mentally chuckled, having thought of many more scarring ways to kill the rattata. Of course, he'd need to have a pretty good reason for killing without a purpose aside from demonstrating his power to subordinates, yet that doesn't mean he'd mentally scar one or another here and there if necessary.
Swiftly as Zeelo made his entrance, all the charmeleon gave was a small smile, glad to see that he was still alive, and a nod of recognition of the hybrid. Since his trust was heavy in Luna and Zeelo, the reptilian had no problem letting go of the two to go do whatever they pleased.
As Zilla began her steamed response to the emotions that Kiyoshi had shown only moments before Chancol couldn't help but give the rayquaza a look of slight surprise, "You seem quite knowledgeable on this topic Zilla..." he replied, rolling his wrist in a circular motion, "would you please tell us more about your relations to the topic of love? of Abandonment?" The charmeleon picked his words carefully, yet inwardly was glad to have found some sort of interesting topic to discuss upon with Zilla.

Zilla raised an eyebrow and CHancol. "If you would like me to attack I will, but what would be the point in that? Its much more fun to see him in total fear of me." Kuro muttered something about not TOTAL fear but Zilla ignored him. "And I was being nice to that rat, I can be worse if you'd like."
Zillas eyes locked with Chancol's after his spoken comment. "That is no business of yours," she snapped, glaring at him. A personal matter, yes, but not to be shared with the likes of him...

"As you talk I begin to mentally sculpt my own perceived scenarios of what has happened to you in the past, and some of those are quite entertaining. Simultaneously, it would probably explain your hell-bent, unknown motives against Rayzor," Chancol chuckled. His eyes quickly scanned for any other movement nearby, surprised to find none, "Y'know...those emotions you listed earlier, one you forgot was hate. I understand why..." a wide grin spread across his face, "but, as you seemingly don't know, any emotion can take control if the sufferer's predicament fits."
The charmeleon decided to continue his critique of Zilla's attitude, his interest having peaked when she mentioned her desire to keep her tale to herself, "You're hatred and arrogance might be the end of you soon enough. Your hatred and arrogance are the Light's remorse and hesitance, they'll find and exploit your weakness and you'll die with the Light's burden questioning how you weren't able to complete your goals." He simply remained where he was, sitting down not too far away from the currently frightened Kuro, a slight smirk the only outstanding feature of his countenance.

Zilla's eyes flashed dangerously. She made a move towards him but suddenly stopped, as though a voice in her head had said 'Leave him he's not worth it.' She turned away from him, she'd lost interest with the Horde a while ago and was only still here to deal with this Suicune. But if the lizard was going to be distracting her and shouting comments, maybe she should leave and take Kiyoshi with her. But he wasn't causing too much trouble if she could simply ignore his comments. If worst came to worst she could just kill him, he'd make a nice meal, but she'd just recently eaten so that wasn't a big solution on her mind. Anyway, he seemed to be keeping Kuro entertained.
What was it that was blocking Zilla from getting comletely into this Suicunes mind? It couldn't be the fact she was a minor legendary, as she had easily manipulated Kuro. If she was cnnected to Rayzor, no doubtedly he would have given her protection, so this just strengthened her belief. She may as well just kill her now. She didn't seem to want to give out anymore information. "Last chance," she said to her. "If you don't tell me something of very large importance in the next ten seconds, you will end up with that precious rat of yours. And to proof I'm not bluffing..." She shot a twister at the dog legendary, not a strong or well aimed one, just one to power up her threat.

Kiyoshi simply braced herself, not wanting to fight a fight she more than likely wouldn't be able to win. "I wonder if this is a desperate situation," she muttered, laughing darkly to herself. She was out of ways to disract the legendary, and was indeed getting desperate. "Oh...I hate to do this. Weakness, that's all it is. How bothersome. I'll work on it later," she spoke quickly, mainly to herself. She then took out a small bell in her mouth and started shaking her head, ringing the bell.

The charmeleon looked with an amused face as Zilla restrained herself from lashing out at him, figuring since she could pretty much pick up on his thoughts, he laughed to himself as he attempted to confirm the reason behind strange, outbursts of actions from the legendary, ~Heh, you couldn't even if you wanted to,~ he thought simply, no mental tone, no facial or body expression that would lead to anyone believing that his thoughts were along that line. For him, keeping his humor hidden wasn't exactly the easiest task, but he managed to hold for a few moments before the suicune pulled his attention.
Chancol chuckled to himself as Kiyoshi pulled out her bell, "I guess they already have a trump card against her already...or for now they think they do..." he said to Kuro, "If this works, then you sure as hell better find one for yourself!" he cackled as he waited for Zilla's response. He expected it'd take much longer before the light would take some sort of offensive against Zilla, but this was quite unexpected.

Zilla screamed out in agony as the clear, pure, sweet sound rang through the air. She clapped her hands to her ears to try and block it out. Defensively, she curled herself up, like a real snake as she glued her eyes shut, almost like the sound was getting in through her eyes as well. If she was the soft type, she'd be crying, but as you know, she's not. Her anger was building up inside her as the sound ripped through her eardrums.
How did she find out about that anyway? She'd never mentioned it to anyone and it wasn't exactly an obvious thing. Unless... Rayzor! Her eyes snapped open, even though she was almost on the ground in pain. How could her father betray her like that. Inwardly begging for the sound to stop, she curled up tighter with her head in her scales, trying to cover her ears.

((I try. ^__^ We have learned so many things about Renny, wouldn't you say? She can be evil, romantic, totally stupid, happy-go-lucky, ticked, etc.))
Kiyoshi took this moment of weakness into her hands-er, paws. "I wish I could say it was a pleasure, but it wasn't," she called, throwing the bell over her neck to keep the sound going. She turned to Chancol. "You're ok," she grumbled, a small smile flashing across her face. But, as quickly as it had came, it was gone. "Don't put up with any crap from the lizard," she called to Kuro and was done. "Good bye!" she finally ended and ran off, gone in an instant.
((Bye-bye, Kiyoshi. ^___^))

Chancol laughed, entertained at the sight of the pained Zilla, having never expected such reaction from the bell as small as it was. He wondered on as to how it affected the legendary so, but figuring it out would be for another day. Looking up at the suicune, Chancol gave a nod and wave goodbye to her; he wasn't one to hold personal grudges because of alignment, nor was he the aggressive one to attack if he didn't get his way. "You take care Kiyoshi, no doubt we'll meet up again," he said as she took off.
Being as entertained as he was, the charmeleon hopped down from his resting place and walked over to the suffering dragon, "She's gone. Get up and shake it off. Like I said, your arrogance was used to their advantage. Do you understand? Or do I need to explain that to you?" he condescendingly asked Zilla. "Hm?"
He slowly looked back up at Kuro from his now-sitting position against a wall in front of the birds master, "Has this ever happened since you've been around? If so, then is there a way she normally recovers from it aside from just letting time pass?" his question was given when he focused back up on Zilla, whom of which was now subject to Chancol's rejuvenation process. Of course, she could reject it if she wanted to, and he had no problems with it at all.

She pushed herself back up on her arms weakly, and lashed out at Chancol with her claws once she was stable. "Kuro, follow her!" she ordered, and the bird obeyed, but he was smiling, happy to see his master in pain.
Zilla was breathing quickly, eyes opening and closing slowly in contrast. She was still on the floor, supported by her arms, looking at where Kiyoshi and Kuro had disappeared, anger burning in her eyes. She turned and glared at Chancol. "Go on then, explain it if you feel you must," she snapped. She shook her head quickly with her eyes tight shut to try and clear that horrible ringing from her still damaged ears. She finally managed to push herself back onto her tail, though she did have a hand on a nearby tree for support. That stupid Suicune, she would pay for that...
