Floaroma Town South Entrance||Dawn(30)
(post count continued from Coronet team)

The young Serperior groaned as she woke up. When she looked around in the dim light of early morning she realized she was no longer in the great Mt. Coronet. 'Where am I...Wait where is everyone else? did they escape?....Oh Oz....I hope you and the others are okay' Aria thought in a panic. She was so worried about her friends, Osmund especially but she had to figure out how she got here too.

Last thing Aria remembered was talking to a particularly unfriendly Umbreon. Then she blacked out, everything after that until now was a blank. Aria sighed with discomfort. "Is anyone here?" She called out. She was hoping the answer was yes but she didn't get her hopes too high as she lay coiled, her leafy tail twitching with impatience.

"Yes, there are others here." Someone said.

Aria's head swiveled around, looking for the source of the voice. "Where is here?" Aria asked with a hint of distrust, her accent thickly lacing her words. She knew that it wasn't safe to be out in the open, but she also distrusted those that refused to at least tell her where they may be. Aria was about to speak up again when something squawked loudly. The Grass Snake Pokemon froze, her eyes darting around the area.

Several pairs of small, glowing, beady red eyes stared at her from the trees and bushes. It seems her voice awoke a large flock of Starly. 'Infected...damn it...just my luck' Aria thought to herself with frustration as she began to prepare a large Leaf Tornado, hoping that it would be strong enough to frighten off and injure the large flock. However she wasn't fast enough and the starved birds began to attack her.

Tiny beaks pecked at her from all directions, Aria hissed in irritation and agony. Starly may be small but their huge numbers quickly overwhelmed the smaller than average Serperior. She didn't give up however, Aria slashed and hacked at the small birds with Leaf Blade, trying to cut the numbers down to size but to no avail. Soon enough the elegant grass snake was covered in tiny puncture wounds, she only hoped that she would not become infected herself, or die before she got the chance to see Oz, BT and Xerxes again.

Everything that happened after she was attacked happened in a blur. Birds scattered, and then she was dragged away into a building.

"Are you alright, miss?" One of her two rescuers asked.

"Y-yes....thanks..." Aria replied, looking over her body at the wounds; stopping when she looked at her neck. Her Soothe Bell was gone, the Grass Snake panic'd. "My Soothe Bell! Those birds took it...I have to get it back!" Aria said in a worried frenzy, heading back outside. She returned to the spot where she was being attacked, a few Starly lay dead and she looked around.

Her Soothe Bell was nowhere to be found. Then a loud, earsplitting pokemon cry was heard; but the cry was pained and distorted. Aria looked up only to see a large Staraptor in the first stages of rot. Tied around the filthy birds talons was her Soothe Bell. Aria hissed in rage and shot her vines at the zombie Staraptor with Vine Whip. They barely grazed the bird but got its attention.

Angry, the rotting creature turned and circled above Aria, as if taunting her. The Grass Snake Pokemon was not pleased. Before she could even start preparing a Leaf Tornado to blast the bird with, it flew at her, charging towards her in a Quick Attack. Aria was too wide eyed with panic to attempt to dodge and was sent tumbling backwards, a large bloodied wound on her chest.

Using the bird moment of temporary disablement Aria used her tail to to slice the creatures wing and most of its tail off with Leaf Blade. The bird blood sprayed everywhere as it screeched in agony. Aria took the bell back and strung it over her neck with a light smile and slithered back too the others, but the Staraptor was not about to give up. It ran at Aria and jumped on her back, digging its talons into her leafy flesh. Whimpering in pain as she tried to prevent herself from screaming, Aria slashed and hacked at the filthy creature with Leaf Blade but to no avail. The Staraptor simply ignored and continued to claw at the skin on her back with its talons, turning her back into a bloody, pulpy mess as it began to dig its cracked, salivating beak into her flesh.

More things blurred by as the Grass Snake continued to lose blood and slip in and out of consciousnesses. Finally unable to keep herself out of sleep any longer Aria collapsed to the ground in a crumpled, bloody heap. Her breath was shallow and her heart beat slowing to a measly murmur but she was still alive, for now. Her face was locked in a meaningless expression of calm as she lay unconscious on the dead grass.

However her mind was not so calm. It was a disturbance of chaos and calamity.Aria's mind was full of dark thoughts, nightmares if you will about death. She felt hunger signals go off in her head but she couldn't do anything about it as she just stared into her dreams, watching with a birds eye view. She didn't understand most of it as it was too dark but she often heard the screams of the dying and one continuous thought ran through her mind 'Am I Infected?'

Floaroma Town|Morning (34)

Aria awoke with a start, her heart pounding and her mind racing. Her body weakened from loss of blood and her mind clouded by dark thoughts, thoughts that made her fear. Fear for herself, for those around her, she wanted blood and flesh, she craved it. These cravings terrified her, she didn't want to be infected, Aria didn't want to hurt others the idea made her entire consciousness scream in protest. Still she wanted food, she was hungry, but also afraid.

Looking around in a heavy panic she noticed a Mienshao and a Hitmontop. Aria feared for them, she feared what she might do if she lost control. In a panic the grass snake lashed out at the Hitmontop, who was closest at the time with a quick strike of her tail, not to hurt him but rather to get him away from her. Not even waiting to hear for the crack or dull thud of the pokemon she just lashed out at, Aria fled. Slithering out of the center as fast as her withering form could carry her. Slipping into one of the houses the grass type coiled up in a corner, her breathing labored and shallow.

"I'm becoming a monster..."
