"Maybe it's just all this ash that's floating around.," Darin said with a hint of hope. He looked at the pond a little longer, truly hoping that it wasn't anything serious. "In any case, we won't find anything here, anymore. Everything here is... all burnt up.," he added with a sigh. He turned away from the pond, hoping Vamir found something.

I nodded, "Yeah, hopefully. I dont want anything bad to happen, who knows what Darkwing could have done to the dark magic he fired at me.." i reply, and indeed, everything around here was burnt up.

((-__________- As always, my posts are ignored.))

I just laughed as she tried to reason with me. "I do not care what I'm called. All I care for issssss pain on my foessss' facesssss." I said.

((I would give a recap, but im unsure what to say really :/))

OoC: MF, I gave you a recap when you asked for one earlier, sheesh...

I started tearing up, hearing his voice, but all I saw was Rickorio's face...

I then began slashing at random, and I think I might've struck him in the side.

I let out a laugh as she blindly slashed thinking she had hit me in the side. "Thisssss issss pointlessssss just let the darknessssss take over!" I yelled.

OoC: You aren't going to let Darkwing get defeated? B-but Shadmé has a confession... ;~;

"No!" I wailed, slashing at anything. I heard metal clang to the floor, and realized I must've been striking armor. "My evil's already been released; Lightmé's out there somewhere! Just let me speak to Rickorio- I miss him so, so much..."

I sighed, rolling my eyes. "Fine, you have a minute." Darkwing soad as I was released from the shadows.

~

I fell to the ground, feeling weak. "Shadmé?" I ask as the shadows dissipate. I look like Darkwing, just with my eyes.

The shadows disappeared from myself as well, and my vision returned to the armor room. I couldn't believe that Rickorio was there. I knew it wouldn't be forever, but still!

"I came to the castle disguised as Lightmé to free you. All this danger, but I knew I needed to get you back. I...I miss you, Rickorio," I breathed. "I haven't forgotten your kindness. When you helped me when my legs were broken. I...I..." I was having trouble speaking, emotions clogging up my throat. I crawled up a little, worn out.

I smile at her words. "I've missed you two. It was fun hanging out with you and I was glad to heal your legs, it's what friends are for." I said smiling. A frown then appeared on my face. "What will we do when he takes over again?" I asked, sad and scared.

My eyes were seriously watery at this point. "In a little bit, I think," I whimpered. "The sludge covering you is what turned you into Darkwing. You have to get it off! Also, your innermost hate created a dark spider. I don't know how to fix that. But the sludge...you have to get it off! I...I don't wanna lose you again."

I smiled at her. "Don't worry, you aren't going to lose me." I say, trying to wipe the sludge off. It was practically a hard mud now, sticking to me and not coming off. "This is hard!" I say, flying around the room, trying to scratch it off with swords, spears, arrows, loose armor straps, everything. On,y bits and pieces seemed to come off, but nothing truly helped. "Quick, think of something!" I said, fear evident in my voice. "I can't hold Darkwing much longer!"

"Wet!" I exclaimed. "If we get it wet, it'll be soft. Follow me!" I dragged him out near the fountain and dunked him in, praying to Palutena that it'd work.

I gurgled a bit as the sludge started getting wet, and we heard the muffled cries coming from it, which were obviously the cries of Darkwing. "It's working!" I yelled through the water.

Just our luck. A group of guards appeared, Araknos right behind them. "You're not going anywhere!" He yelled.

I squealed a little, I'm not sure from happiness that progress was being made or terror that there were now guards. I took a deep breath. "Try to rub the sludge off! I'll distract." I ran to them, still in the fountain, and kicked some water out, making their side of the floor slick. I then stepped out and loaded my bow with an arrow.

The sludge was almost completely off, and I was beginning to return to my normal self. Sadly though, I felt like the sludge wasn't normal at all. The sludge had quickly filled up the pull, becoming one with the water. "Hahahaha." We heard from the pool. "Thank you. I now have a way to destroy you!" With that, I flew out of the water. Good timing too. Because the water rode up from the fountain to for a gigantic monster made of black water. Obviously Darkwing had found a body.

"Ohmygoodness you're back!" I ran over and hugged Rickorio happily, then stepped away and blushed. "Er, right. Water monster and guards." Determination crossed over my face as my bow charged up. I fired an arrow at the guards, keeping an eye on the new Darkwing for signs of aggression, which I knew were sure to come.

I laughed, wrapping my wings around her in a hug. "I'm back." I said, letting her go. "Yeah, I'll take care of Darkwing, you the guards." I said, turning to face my nemesis, and doppelgänger. Well, the water form of him.

OoC: Should I control some guard movement? I won't bother controlling Araknos, I promise. XP

"Good luck!" I called. "I'll be here if you need me!"

As soon as my previous arrow was released I rolled away, dodging some fire. Retaliating, I shot the guard in the knee, then turned to another who charged at me. My heart pounding, I leapt back as the guard ended up sliding on the floor, miscalculating his own movement. I had no time to look as I ducked from other arrows.

((Yes, you may control the guards. As for Araknos, I'll control him if you kill to many guards. ))

Darkwing and I circled each other for a while. Well, me cicerone the foundation wile he moved around in it. So that's his weakness. I thought to myself, taking a note of that. I was the forst one to take a move, going in for where his eyes were. He saw the move coming and liquidated himself there, me flying right apart him into the statue that had been spewing out water into the fountain. I had banged my head, but I was alright. I quickly started to shoot bolts of lighting at the water, hoping to hurt the huge blob. It worked. Darkwing exploded, sending the sludge everywhere....around the base of the fountain.

As I ducked I heard a small explosion, and the sludge splattered at the base of the fountain. "Dear Palutena! Rickorio, stay away from that!" My distraction caused a small blast to hit me in the side, and I teetered around the edge of the fountain, wings flapping to try and steady myself. I slid to the side and three guards lunged for me, sensing my weakness. I backpedaled, firing arrows as I went, and two of the guards went down. I separated my bow, and the other one's battle axe clashed with my blades.

I nodded, knowing all this would be for naught if I were to be caught in that sludge. I quickly flew away from it and surveyed the scene that was happening before me. There were hundreds of guards coming from all sides of the fountain, and Araknos was on one of the walls nearby, throwing boats of dark matter at Shadmé every now and then. I dint know whether I needed to help Shadmé by taking out some of the guards, or by holding Araknos off. All I did know is that I needed to get us out of here alive. I decided I'd help Sjadme with the guards. I quickly swooped down and hit a lot of them with my tail, and had had of charged with electricity. I then swung it around again, while firing more bolts of lightning.

I smiled as I saw Rickorio out of my peripheral vision, but remained focused at the matter at hand. I quit resisting the axe but jumped back, the guard's weapon clanging to the ground. I swung to his back and kicked out, knocking him to the ground. Another guard came up behind me but I was ready, lashing out at his chest with my blades. He screamed in pain and I flinched. Keep a cool head, Shadmé. They attacked you first. They would've killed you. You were defending yourself. A blast of dark matter from Araknos sent me flying back as I dodged it, my thoughts scattering. Then some arrows from the guards kept me busy moving back as I fired in retaliation, knocking three guards down.

I noticed how outnumbered we were, and how Shadmé had almost been blown away by Araknos's blast. "We need to get out of here!" I yelled, sweeping my tail through a guards chest, throwing his body at a couple other guards. I then quickly charged my wings with electricity, and fired a bunch of my feathers at some guards, killing them instantly.

I nodded. "We cannot take all of these! My weapon is meant for one-on-one, so progress is slow for me. Should I jump on your back?" I fired down some other guards, but now arrows were flying by my face so quickly it was remarkable how little damage I'd acquired.

I nodded. "Hop on!" I yelled, taking out some more guards, and firing a bolt at both Araknos and the sludge that was Darkwing

I fired some shots behind me, then took a flying leap that ended up with me on Rickorio's back relatively safely. Phew.

"So what now?" I called over the roar of battle. "Do we just go?" I lowered my voice so Araknos and Darkwing wouldn't hear, "or if we leave and they follow us, head in circles to try and confuse them?" I ducked as an arrow flew over my head and shot back, hitting the guard square in the chest. I winced.

I nodded. "Away we go!" I yelled, covering us in a huge ball of electricity and flying straight through the roof, destroying it, and sending pieces ranking down on the people inside. I instantly started flying at high speeds towards the others the moment we were in the air. "We should be able to get far enough away." I say.

I clung to Rickorio's neck as we broke thought the roof. "Y-yeah! Lightning fast speed sure comes in handy." I straightened up when we were safer, and glanced over the landscape. A small part near the lake was burned thanks to the Pyro, but most of the rest of the forest was green and lush. Something occurred to me.

"The last time the others saw us, we were either evil or impersonating evil," I murmured. "I mean, we're both free of sludge now, but we shouldn't sneak up on them or anything."

I nod, seeing her point. "Good idea." I say, trying to look for the others on the ground, slowing down so I could actually see the ground.

The lake was easiest to see, and I noticed a brown shape as well as a dark green one. Darin and Prex. For some reason, Lyv and NINJAsk were missing, and derpy was hiding. I wondered if stopping by the griffon and the swordsman would be easiest.

I heard her thoughts. "Let's do it." I say, diving towards the lake, and our friends derpy and Darin.

OoC: *prex?

I felt a little awkward, but Prex knew who I was, and Darin hadn't been involved in the battle where I'd "turned evil". So there should be no aggression. "Uh, hi guys!" I called out. "It's me, Shadmé! And Rickorio's back! Boy, do we have a story for you two!"

((Whatever. ))

I laughed at how Shadmé phrased it. "More like a book series." I joked "It felt like so much happened in such little time."

OoC: Random picture of Lightmé. Okay? Okay. XP
This is just a really rough sketch.

((As If I am around...))
Itsuya keeps on walking wuth me on her back.
She's so caring, at least to me, but to otthers ....no...

"Itsuya, why are you so caring?"
"We agree in everything...you're my only friend, and I swear to god, anyone who hurts you..."

"Sh-Shadme?!" I ask, and I was quite happy at that fact to hear her.

"Ehum, you three...four..." Zagrad corrected Shadmé.

[[Can I ask a serious question? At the biginning of this RP we were all alone, and now (Shadow)Guards and other people spwan. Is it meant as a joke? Because I lol at this ]]

((Well....it's thanks to my fear of spiders and any hate I have towards the site that they appeared. S blame me. ))

I turn around to see what looked like Lyv in a guard's outfit. "Lyv?" I asked cautiously.

[[Whoo-Ooh!]]

Itsuya starts to breath heavily. "Huff-puff.... Geez....get walking on your own...."
"I can't...." I say, weakly.
"We need to find people...fast...."
I look around, and sniff. "I smell water... Like a pond..."
"Erg... what direction?"
"In the direction of that skunk smell...." I point.
Itsuya starts to walk in everyone's(Ricko, Lyv, Shadme) direction, unintended of course.

"Hi Prex!" I replied cheerfully. "I'm back." I thought I heard something else and turned to the direction Rickorio was facing. "Lyv, that you? Good to see you as well!"

Itsuya sees the others. "Are those your friends?"
"Yeah, they don't do harm to me, so I think they'll do you no harm either...."
Itsuya slowly walks to the others.

MF saw everybody. "Over heeeeerrrreeeee!!!!!!"

"Wow! NINJAsk and MagicFizz are here as well!" I smiled as the two came into the open, and then I noticed Itsuya. "Hey, NINJAsk, who's joining us?"

I slowly slip off Itsuya's back... I remain silent, closing my eyes.
"I came out of...Alvira's dreams... Or her hatred.... Like... years ago... Or months... I don't even know. I just followed her shadow." Itsuya picsk me up again, seemingly very protectieve.
