[Lord Windos]

(No One has been having some internet issues, so he told me to use his orders from the previous Round so we could keep this moving.)

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

The vixen screams one last time as she collapses to her knees, holding her head with both of her hands, clearly in sever pain.  Shadowy energy erupts around her as it spills into the room's air with the rush and sound of a violent gale.  Machamp jumps in front of everyone to shield them from the force.

The room goes pitch black as the dark, shadowy wind blocks all sight and drowns out all noise.

And then it stops.

When everyone can finally see again, they see that Machamp is somewhat bruised, and many small rocks lay around him.

And behind him, they see Zoroark, silently laying on the ground.

Unconscious.

"Is...is it over?"



"I think it is, Karen.  I think it is."

"Whew, that was a close one!  I thought I was finished after those Zorua locked me up in that metal cart!  But you all are great!  That was fantastic!"

"Hehehehe!  You'll get nothing less from Hoopa!"

"I simply must repay you all.  You really saved my butt.  Do you guys need any buildings constructed?  I'll give you a really good deal on some property!"

Everyone gets 15 exp for defeating Primal Zoroark.

The burst of pure, unfettered Darkness released by the mistress of illusions' Faint Knell nearly sends the fiery demoness into a frenzy, causing her to snarl and wildly scattered Embers around her, as if trying to burn it to cinders. Soon, though, that wretched blackness was dispelled, revealing their foe fallen, passed out and seemingly purged of their Darkness Taint by the group's collectively beating the fluff out of her. Pyra, in her intense state of mind, only stared at the Zoroark for several long seconds, searching it for any traces of Darkness or signs of trickery. Then, once it became clear that what she was seeing was true, the brimstone imp......just continued to stare at the mother beast, her expression still just as blank and alien but somehow now......exhausted. Weary. Disquieted. Gone was that indiscernible feeling that filled her up and burned strangely in her heart-mind, but nothing replaced it, leaving her simultaneously filling empty yet re-burdened with all the painful revelations, stress this trip to the Mystery Dungeon gave her, and her frustrations with whole mess that was The Bat Lord and his Dark Beast minion.

Pyra.....she could hardly understand what was going with her right now, and frankly? She couldn't care less. This whole adventure and the group's first test against The Darkness has left her bereft of her usual energy and up and off beat attitude in addition to eradicating all her curiosity and inquisitiveness. She couldn't even be happy or thrilled about the purging of Zoroark because the other foul minions of The Darkness slipped through her group's hands, no thanks in large part due to them wasting time searching for treasure and NOT immediately chasing after them. Right now, in this moment, the lil' fiendess.....she was just done with ALL of this, and feeling very, very mixed things about her friends.

Eventually, the fiendess slowly adverted her gaze from Zoroark, looking around the room tiredly for something else to focus on, right before he gaze landed onto the poor Zorua she literally scared stiff. A strange whim suddenly overtook her, and out of a total lack of other feeling or reason against she decided to head it, walking right over to it, looming over its Fainted form. Then, with surprising gentleness, Pyra picked them up in both claws, looked them over blankly, and attempted to give them a strong but not rough shake. If you asked her why she was trying to wake up the fox kit she badly spooked, she wouldn't have an answer - she just felt like it, and so she did.

Order: Let the group handle Machamp and diplomacy, while she attempts to wake up the technically Full HP Fainted Zorua. If that fails, she'll give them one of her Tiny Reviver Seeds, because....well, even I'm not quite sure, but Pyra wants them awake for some reason, so I'm just going with the flow at the moment, just to see what happens. If her friends try to talk to her, she'll ignore them unless they get pretty insistent or its Kogeki (He's been good and unjudgmental to her for the most part/all the part on the MD Dive, so he would get preferential treatment, if only slightly).
