Harcus laughed his way down to the dungeons. He made his way past the rows of cells, some inhabited, some not, and not all those inhabitants alive. He threw Sassano into a cell and closed the door and latched it shut. It was only openable from the outside. " There you go little one...while I decide what to do with you."

Sassano's head hit the hard rock wall. Pain throbbed through him as he fell to the floor, unconscious. The small poochyena/zangoose pup lay there. Even unconscious, his body still shook uncontrollably.
Marcol happened to be in the dungeons as well. He had just brought back a number of females with new children. He'd thrown them there with a food to last them a few days. The zangoose would have looked like any other zangoose, except he has small black streak through his red stripes. A nasty scar jutted under his right eye as well.
"Harcus....now how would you be brother?" His friendly voice was still a snarl. The evil zangoose approached his brother.

" I found that bitch's miserable whelp who got away." Harcus nodded with a grimace at Sassano. " Found him wandering round in the jungle. Not that far from the others."

"How interesting," said Marcol. His snarl became curious. "The male then. Happen to see the female?" He knew that two of the children had escaped. A zigzagoon/zangoose female and a poochyena/zangoose male.

" No, I didn't, but I'll go back to that jungle, and start looking around in the same place I found this one," said Harcus.

"Thanks brotha," said Marcol. He glanced into the cell that housed an unconscious Sassano. He chuckled. "Well I'm off. Going to go hunting. Care to join?"

" Sure thing...it can get boring in here when I'm hungry and I have no energy for breeding." Harcus grinned and headed out of the dungeons with his brother, leaving Sassano there.

Marcol chuckled. They were so alike, him and his brother Harcus. "Heh maybe on our hunt we'll find a few ladies." He was always up for a good fuck, no matter what.

" Better than those ones that ran off on you...now they were no fun," said Harcus. " This time we'll teach them good."
ooc: How about the Horde is all shadow pokemon, and those that get captured are forced to be shadow pokemon too? That would explain why thye never leave...

ooc: Yup yup like I said on yim. And want to move this thread now?
ic: "Damn good," growled Marcol, thinking of the few escapee ladies he'd had. That was the single reason that Sassano and Coralyn were out there. Well, only Coralyn now. He walked along, kicking a stone occasionally.

ooc: Yeah, moving to the rainforest I guess...
ic: " By the time we get back, Sassano will be shadowed or dead," said Harcus. " And that's what we'lll do to any females we manage to get."

Alcatraz could not believe what he saw when he blinked into the dungeons. Row after row filled with pitiful, imprisoned pokemon, some sick, some dying, others dead. The stench of urine, feces, stale food, mold which proliferated in the cool damp conditions, and death and rot made him want to gag. Moreover he was too big to get around easily in here. Hehad to keep his head ducked.
" That's it. Whoever's in charge of this setup is going to pay!"
By the time he reached Sassano, he couldn't stand it anymore. He turned and hooked his hoof round a bar, pulled and ripped the cellgate clean off. He flung it aside. " Sassano, let's go. Let's get you out of here." ~And do something to get some of these others out, too...~ he thought to Lelaka.

Sassano awoke. He looked at the aruseus and the emurit...familiar...but he couldn't place them. "Go where? I'm going on my first mission first light tomorow." He sat up. "I'm an apprentice now. Who are you anyway?"
Lelaka stared in horror. "Sassano...its me Lelaka..I took care of you and Coralyn. Remember?"

" It's me, Alcatraz," said the aruseus as he heard pokemon coming in through the corridors. He decided to make life a little harder for them right then. With a Rock Smash attack at the ceiling, he sent down a pile of rubble falling into and blocking off the corridor they were in. " That should hold them for a bit while I try to free some more of these pokemon. Lelaka--I know it's a lot but I just can't leave them."
He tore away a door holding in a starved-looking girafarig. The girafarig saw him and bit at his leg. " What--What's going on here?" Alcatraz pulled his leg away.

"And who would me Alcatraz and Lelaka be?" asked Sassano. "I've lived here for almost my whole life. I'm finally old enough to be an apprentice."
All Lelaka could do was stare. This had to be hell.

" Let's go." Alcatraz put his hoof lightly on Sassano's back. He glanced at Lelaka. " You ready?" He was about to teleport back to the alcove.

Chancol had been wandering around, since his hunger was satisfied for now and had decided to become more familiar with the surroundings of the fortress. His eyes adjusted after a while to the dim light of the dungeon, he looked around at prisoners that were going to be kept here most likely for the rest of their lives. The charmander squinted, trying to see what was going on, "Hello?" he called out.

A lucario with darkness brewing in his eyes turned to Chancol. " Come on, help us clean up this rubble," he said, gesturing to all the damage that the aruseus had done. He along with a crew of several more began picking up the pieces of masonry. Some of them were very large. " We're going to have to get all this out of the way, and then, using fire to melt the stone, patch that up." He pointed upwards. A hole led up to the floor above and the hallway between the dungeons up there.

Chancol nodded, ~Ugh, I guess I was at the wrong place at the wrong time...~ he thought. Sighing he began to move rubble out of the way, and since he wasn't very strong or big, he couldn't help in any other way than just moving small pieces of ruin.

" Hope nobody falls through that before we finish," said another helper, this one a sandshrew. He was small but strong, pushing away rocks and pieces of rock. Some rocks had just shattered, making the cleanup hazardous if a sharp stone were to be stepped on in the wrong way. "With an aruseus in the know about us, the Shadowmaster has to do something or he'll bring the whole place down around our ears. We're lucky he didn't the first time. He's probably planning on it."

The dark green charmander picked up a piece of rock and tossed it into the pile that the sandshrew was pushing. He yawned as he continued to pick up rocks that he could barely carry and began to put them in a smaller pile so the sandshrew could push away later. "Yeah, you're right. The only question is when will he be back?"

" That's up to him," said the sandshrew as he piled more rocks into a pile in the middle. " He is the poke god after all. Not much we can do if he decides to totally bring the Fortress down."
" Bullshit," said the shadow lucario. "There's plenty we can do. The Shadowmaster is a match for an aruseus."

"You mean get our asses kicked in one blow? I think that 'we' can't do much against a poke god buddy," Chancol said, siding with the sandshrew. He didn't even want to see that pokemon up close, nor in battle. He sighed looking at the ceiling, seeing that the piles had most of the rubble in them.

" There's got to be something we can do or we might have to kiss the Fortress goodbye. Anyway...you don't know the Shadowlord. Once the Shadowlord has control of that aruseus's mind, it won't matter how powerful he is," said the lucario.

"What is the Shadowlord anyway? I've only heard of his name and that's just about it," Chancol replied, yawning as the last of the rubble was piled. All that was left to do was wait for what to do next.

" He's the one who gave us all our shadow state...his power flows through the whole of this land," said the lucario.
" I still say he couldn't impose that sort of thing on that aruseus. Or any aruseus, if there's more than one." The sandshrew wasn't sure.
" Even if he cannot force him to the side of shadows, he ca hide where even the god of pokemon cannot find him."
The lucario finished clearing away some more rubble. An aggron had come down to help them and move away the pieces too large for the rest of them to move.

Chancol nodded, still siding with the sandshrew, even though he wanted to believe that something would be able to beat an aruseus, he just wasn't able to think of anything. Only time would tell what would happen to the Fortress and if the Shadowlord would succeed in capturing an aruseus. "If he hides, then what the hell would become of us? I don't give a damn if he can hide, I'd rather know he can hold his ground against a pokegod," the charmander retorted.

" We don't know for sure, I will admit that," said the lucario. " The fact that one has shown up in Erymire is bad news for us, though. From what little we know of the aruseus, they're strongly opposed to shadow powers. They consider them unnatural. And as long as the Shadowlord remains, even in hiding he can keep this place going."

Chancol shrugged, alright, I'll rest assured for now. But I'll always have my doubts. By the way, what's your names?" he asked the two pokemon. Truthfully he hadn't made any friends around the fortress, since he could live by himself for the most part, he wasn't much of a chit-chat kind of pokemon.

" I'm Adrid," said the lucario.
"Scrappy," said the sandshrew. " Good to meet you."
" Soon I'm sure we will be having a meeting about what to do about the aruseus," said Adrid.
