Shadows walk the Prairie...

[Razur]

"Again?"

A giant flock of Spearow and Fearow made their way across the sky. The wind picked up and they passed, and their shadow casted upon the the grass and rocks below, including an Umbreon resting on a bolder.

"Every day they circle around the area," he retorted. "Why can't they give it a rest?"

He asked that question, but he knew the answer.

Everone was searching for it.
No such thing.

The Umbreon moaned and laided back.
"Those crabby old elders think that such a thing exists. They must be insane."

He spotted a black speck in the distance. Who was that? He didn't know anybody. The Umbreon quickly darted under the rocks. If he was going to fight, he had to think of a plan.

[Raonik]

<sub>Well, he had to admit it was a nice day.

There wasn't anything particularly insane going on - no territory invasions, no betrayals, no psychotic mass murders coming for his life. Raonik was pleased with the way the Search was going, and the weather, and...well, most everything was going his way these days.

Maybe this stroke of luck would bring him the No Such Thing. Perhaps.

The Mightyena's ear twitched. He slowly turned his gaze to a black speck in the distance - but now it was gone. Curious, the Fighter leader crept forward and spotted black and yellow fur mingling with the dull gray texture of rocks. "Camoflouge rule one:" he chuckled, leaning back on his haunches and gazing upon the white thing with a hint of contempt in his voice, "You need to actually blend in with your surroundings. You fail, glowing meat." 'Glowing', since the thing seemed to have yellow circles on it's body. Hm. He now attempted a more serious tone. "You are trespassing on Fighter territory," he declared, "State your purpose, or get out."</sub>

"Heh..." The Umbreon snickered as he came out from the rocks.
He stumbled as if he were drunk, but straightened his posture as his pace quickened.

"Well fine sir, my business is my business, and not a mutts." The Umbreon said choosing his words yet trying to sound insulting.

The Umbreon dimmed his fur until he was completely black.

He glared and the Mightyena from head to toe carefully and swiftly.

"Well Raonik, it looks like you've gotten a bit slower since I last saw you, yes?" he asked with a glare in his eyes. "It was south of here, before you became 'one of the three'." The mocking in his voice seemed to catch the Mightyena's attention, but he wasn't sure.

[Raonik]

<sub>Raonik narrowed his yellow eyes. "You... he muttered, "A mere shadow....yes..." Raonik seemed to ponder for a bit. "Yes, I remember."

He was silent for a few moments, letting the wind ruffle his fur. "Indeed, I am now one of the three. So treat me as such. After all...it is I, not you, who stand at the head of the Fighters now." There was a hint of contempt in his voice now. "Unless you want to make something of it, glowing meat. If you couldn't stand up and take the leadership then, what makes you think you can do it now? Try me, you puny shadow."

OOC// I'm kind of making it up on the fly here...I'm certaintly having fun tho xD //OOC</sub>

[Razur]

The Umbreon sighed.
"Don't call me glowing meat. You know my name, I know yours, so let use 'em before I call you names, ok?"

The Umbreon hopped up on the rock.

"And who said I didn't want the leadership it the first place?" He questioned. "Even if you take leadership or not, your still the same and as you were, as you are! Becoming a leader doesn't make you stronger, or faster. Other make look at you differently, but that doesn't change the fact that your still that same."

The wind picked up a bit.

"In time, a shadow grows until dusk where the whole land is consumed. If you're will to take me on, I'll promise you I won't hold back."

He smiled a devilish smile, and lunged backwards doing a flip as he landed.

[Raonik]

<sub>Raonik was silent for a few seconds. Then...

"You ask for me to call you by your name, glowing meat?" he snarled, then laughed, a high-pitched, manical bark. "Only when you have earned it, little shadow. Let us dance, foolish one, and perhaps then you will see the foolishness of your words."

The Mightyena howled, and...his eyes glowed. His golden eyes, so unlike the normal crimson orbs of all other Mightyenas, his trademark feature, his pride. And when they glowed, so did a small orb of energy forming in his mouth. "Taste this, you fool!"

A Hyper Beam shot out, aimed at the Umbreon which had just landed from it's midair flip.</sub>

[/sub]

[Razur]

The Umbreon braced for impact.

"Kyu!!!"

The hyper beam had hit the Umbreon's forehead and he was sent flying backwards.

The marks on his body flickered on and off and he attempted to get up. There he lop-sidedly stood with a smirk on his face.

"Nice shot mutt," he said wincing at the pain.

He slouched a bit as he limped forward. Blood drizzled down his face as he wobbled up and down. He then stopped and paused as the halos that marked his body began to glow brightly as if enraged.

The Umbreon fired a Faint Attack as a counter.

[Raonik]

<sub>Pleased that he had made a hit, Raonik growled triumphantly.

Until, however, he was struck by the Umbreon's counterattack.

"Very good, glowing meat," he rumbled, shaking his fur. The attack was not very effective against him, but it never missed...he glared at his opponent. "But try this, fool." Raonik howled, and launched himself at the Umbreon at full force. His fangs were glowing a pale blue, like ice. Ice Fang had always been a favorite move of his.</sub>

[/sub]

[Razur]

The Umbreon's eyes widened. He couldn't bare another fatal attack even though Umbreons were known for there impeccable defense.

"Knock it off Raonik, I don't want to play your games."

In panic, he looked up at a Fearow an prayed and the Mightyena charged his fangs. An odd ball of light shot up from the Umbreon and hit a Fearow that had turned around from the flock to get a baby Spearow that had a hard time flying. The Fearow hardly seemed to notice as the orb shot down from the great bird and toward the Umbreon. Shadow again did a Back flip to ensure the ball of light had entered his body correctly, and to create more distance between the Mightyena and him.

"But, if you do insist."

The Umbreon did two more back flips until he finally landed on all four if his paws.

The Umbreon stood there for waiting for the Enemy's attack.

"If you've ever been so scared to be caught in my shadow, Now would be the time."

[Raonik]

<sub>Raonik growled as he got a mouthful of dust, landing just where his opponent had been a second before. He watched carefully as the Umbreon preformed his odd little move. The Mightyena snorted.

"Try all you want, puny shadow, the ending result shall not change," he growled, and leaped at the enemy. His tail shimmered, then it hardened and seemed to transform in a silver blade of metal. The Fighter leader leaped up, and flipped forward, aiming his rock-hard Iron Tail at Shadow's head.</sub>

[/sub]

[Razur]

The Umbreon smirked.

He allowed the iron tail to hit, but only ever-so lightly. Shadow thrusted himself backward with another flip landed again. He took an odd stance, and lept into the air.

"Life's a breeze when you can mimic other's attacks."

He stood there in the air, proudly and bold.
