Kingdom Hearts: The 13th Requiem [PG-13/Not Accepting]

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Lightning had held onto the Star Shard for dear life, watching the incredible speeds they rushed through time and space, but knew how familiar this was at the same time as it was different. The world they left behind was now nothing, and a new sphere rushed towards them, until a pair of massive doors slammed around them, and the former soldier found herself in a rustic town, unlike anything she had ever seen. Everything was so worn down and old, yet still possessed a newness to it. She was rather puzzled to discover that their guide had rushed into a bathroom, so she instead used some Munny to purchase a cup of coffee with cream and sugar, and waited for her new commander to emerge. It wasn't bad coffee either, which surprised her, though this new-found energy did not help her next task: going to sleep. Instead, once she was fairly certain everyone was asleep, she slipped out to explore the town that they were now in.
The First District, where they arrived, seemed to be the most peaceful, and after asking around and talking to the locals, was where many survivors from other worlds preferred to reside, though no "Serah" was ever found. There appeared to be a variety of different shops and commodities in this business sector of the town, none of which she would utilize just yet. The Second and Third Districts, however, were much more active in terms of Heartless, yet these were very little challenge for the veteran fighter, even though she knew they would reconstitute themselves shortly. Only when, after some exploring, she discovered a secret entrance to a rather quaint waterway, did she begin to feel more peaceful and calm. Some sort of warrior had claimed this corridor as his own, based on the scrapes against the wall made by a weapon, though there were also bullet holes in targets. Maybe someone with a weapon such as her own? Regardless, she found this secluded viaduct to be an excellent room to blow off steam and do some drills she had been neglecting on. Finally, she was able to feel very tired, and trudged back to the room, exhausted and able to sleep soundly...
...Until she awoke to voices, whispering as to not stir anyone else, but she kept her eyes closed and listened to the conversation. It was now morning, and Balthazar wanted to go inspect something. She determined that she was sufficiently well-rested, and got up to go refresh herself, giving Trevor, Shuren, and Ryan a rather interesting sight: Lightning has undone her braid, leaving her pink hair flowing behind her, but she had removed her outer coat, gloves, pauldron, boots, and most of her other clothing. The neat folded stack near her bed only lacked her dark-brown shorts and the maroon zip-up sleeveless sweater-top she wore, which revealed that Lightning had a pierced navel. As she approached the bathroom, she turned back to the trio of young men and groggily asked them. "What?"

[Merci]

Darkness. Heartless. The Emperor. James kidnapped. A new world - Traverse Town.

 

And so it was the next day. Surprisingly, getting the Grimhold wasn't as difficult as Viola first thought. She thought that they'd have to go through some super boss battle first, but apparently, that wasn't the case. It was also rather strange at how easily she had accepted all this, and the fact that she was the Prime Merlinean only added to that. What were the chances? It didn't get more convenient than this. Balthazar was still highly secretive when it came to revival of the dead. The one who held the answers was the Emperor, but why did he look at Ryan and ignore her?

 

With an annoyed sigh, she finally woke up in response to the morning. Lazily getting out of bed, she reached out for her glasses and left the inn room with a yawn. "Goodmornin', Shuren~ oh, Trevor and Ryan too. How are you all toda-"

 

Upon putting on her glasses, she was met with the sight of all three apprentices captivated by a half-naked Lightning.

 

"That's it. I'm going back to bed."

 

Turning around, she muttered something that sounded like 'boys', before entering her room again. The door slammed shut behind her.

[Phantom Roxas]

Balthazar raised an eyebrow, but he couldn't resist smiling at the way this creature spoke. "It's kind of nice hearing someone speaking in the old English language. You're at Traverse Town. It's a place for people who either have lost their world or are looking for something lost. My world is fine, but what about yours?"

[hr]
Kreix sighed and Haxz's entrance. He was certainly not someone Kreix was not looking forward to seeing again. He rolled his eyes, allowing Nerhyx to introduce himself to Xyu before informing Kreix of further recruits. "Two or three? You mean you don't know? Honestly…" He turned to Haxz, who was being surprisingly patient while Nerhyx spoke. "And what is your report?

[hr]
Shuren couldn't help but look at Lightning's beautiful body. He tried to look away, thinking that staring would make Lightning uncomfortable, but he kept turning to look at her. Lightning seemed rather tired judging by how she spoke, but Shuren thought it was best to just to answer her question. "Nothing, it's just…" Shuren saw Viola go back to bed like she was made. "Sorry, guys, can you wait?"

He went to Viola's door and knocked lightly. "Are you okay, Viola?"

[Merci]

With a sigh, Viola opened the door for Shuren as she put her glasses back on. Her stockings and small jacket were on as well, as was the ring around her finger. She eyed him with a rather suspicious look, and was it just his imagination or was there the tiniest hint of jealousy somewhere in there? Nevertheless, her glare was sharp, the air growing cold around them. There was a possibility that the boy could freeze over if he stayed standing in front of her for too long.

 

"Okay? Yes, I'm absolutely okay. I mean, it's not as if I care or anything about what you guys like to think about." The young Prime Merlinean replied in a sarcastic tone. "Honestly, I'm not surprised. Like that time I thought you'd give me a birthday present, but you didn't even REMEMBER then."

[The Warden]

Balthazar's comment was rather perplexing to Cornelius. "Olde English? I'm afraid I don't understand. Tis be how all of Erion speak. Though, yours be quite bemusing to me... !!!"

 

It was at that point that his mind did properly process the other part of the strange's man's remark. "Traverse Town? I have not known... No, it couldn't be. Erion couldn't just be gone. If it was, everyone. Everyone. All those that I have known COULD NOT just be gone. Armageddon, no, Armageddon could not have occured yet. None of the signs had appeared. But, if those shadows were something else, not a part of Armageddon, no, it simply cannot be!"

 

The Psypher Sword fell to the ground as Cornelius gripped his head, not in agony, but rather, in his inability to truly process the information. Thinking about what could be the truth caused tears to stream down his face. "Velvet..."

 

[hr]

 

Yes, Haxz had been waiting patiently, and as much as he would like to mock the new recruit the bootlick seemed so eager to show off, he had to get this off his chest. Haxz took a sharp inhale for this part. "Omcraxs and I investigated a world where a potential Keyblade could occur. Said Keyblade appeared after some minor prodding from another pest who has control of the Heartless as well. Current whereabouts of the Keyblade are unknown, but the Deadbeats and Gamblers are on the trail and should be reporting back shortly."

 

Haxz exhaled the remainder of his breath whilst closing his eyes, before inhaling once more and straightening himself. He opened his eyes as he flashed his cocky grin. "Ahhh, I feel better. Kreix, do me a favour, never leave again. I hate having to assume responsibility. Now, if you don't mind, I was told be a Deadbeat that in the world where the Keyblade appeared, that there's a place called Las Vegas where people like spending Munny. Heh. So, with my responsibilities dispensed, I'm going to go clean up. Ciao."

 

A Corridor consumed Haxz as he gave a sarcastic salute to Kreix.

[Frybread002]

A little bewilder at the necromancy that Kriex just performed with his name, Yasu Go became Xyu Gasu in a instant; Before anything else could be said, Xyu Gasu experienced a sort of ‘space-time’ anomaly and the urge of vomiting was swelling up in his stomach. Clenching his gut and covering his mouth -thinking that he could stop it if he forced it - the feeling dissipated almost as fast as it came; everything was warped for a brief instant and Xyu Gasu could’ve sworn another person appeared out of thin-air -who happened to be Hazx, talking to Kriex - but the trippy, druggy, euphoria aftereffects made it hard to discern.

Incidentally enough, the wave of euphoria was only in his mind and after his senses came back, he’d realized he was standing still the whole time, a new set of clothes similar to Kriex and Hazx was now adorned by Xyu Gasu and the feeling that time itself had somehow moved forward.

The only proof he had about time moving forward, was the fact that he was now walking forward - or in more technical terms, limping, in halls of the ultra-secret hidden base of a ultra-secret group that he had apparently joined, and that he was now in front of Kriex’s room.

Knocking before entering, Xyu Gasu was going to ask Kriex for some basic information; such as “where am I, who am I, what exactly am I apart of” and anything along those lines.

With Kriex door automatically opening for him, Xyu Gasu entered as a cautious man and found Kriex looking over some reports. Taking a moment to gather his words, the sudden appearance of Hazx startled him and a little intimidated to speak anything at all; Recalling back to the wave of euphoria, deja’ vu was the feeling that hit Xyu and watched as the entire conversation between Hazx and Kriex was replayed right before his eyes.

Before he knew it, Hazx was gone -just before taking a somewhat menacing glare from him -and before speaking his mind, Xyu took long stare at Kriex, then simply said “What just happened?”

[Phantom Roxas]

Shuren bit his lip. He had slipped the necklace into her pocket, but had she really not noticed it until now? He had stolen it, and given how upset Viola was with him right now, he had to think of a way to calm her down. "Viola, it's not like that. I wanted to give you something…" Should he lie? No, saying that he didn't give her something wouldn't help at all. "So… Check your pocket." He tried to turn away, feeling too ashamed to look at Viola.

[hr]
"So it was the Heartless," Balthazar said. "Listen, I have a few apprentices, and a soldier to help us out. If that sword of yours is powerful enough, maybe you would be able to help us? You mustn't let the desire for revenge to consume you, but we're going to need all the help we can get. Balthazar held out his hand. "Sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier, prince. My name is Balthazar Blake. I am sorcerer."

[hr]
Kreix smiled at Xyu's approach. "Getting used to your new life, I take it? Haxz has given some rather interesting information. A Keyblade has been found, and I must look into this. Nerhyx, you did mention there were some other newcomers, correct? I would like to meet them. Xyu, you may come along." Kreix summoned a Dusk, but to Kreix's dismay, it was Jumpsuit.

"Oh. It's you."
"How may I be of service, milord?"
"Send for the rest of the Organization, but leave Haxz alone. Get the new recruits. Tell them all to arrive at Where Nothing Gathers."
"Right away, sir!"

The Dusk teleported away, and Kreix summoned a Corridor for Nerhyx, Xyu, and himself.

"Come with me." He stepped inside, waiting for the other two to join him.

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Shuren went to talk to Viola...leaving Trevor with Ryan...but it wasn't a long bit of time between the two. Trevor turned his head again, once again hearing that faint whisper. And once again, he was met with no one behind him. "Excuse me for a moment Ryan...I-I need some fresh air." he said, as he turned around and walked out of the inn.

 

Trevor was immediately going to say something to Balthazar, but saw him busy with...a blue rabbit?? He walked past Balthazar and the rabbit, only simply turning his head. "I'm going for a walk, Balthazar...I won't be long." he said, walking away from the two.

 

Kingdom Hearts II OST ~ Kairi

 

Funny...whoever or whomever this voice is.....it hasn't started talking to me until today. Trevor thought, as he laid his hands into his pockets to rest. Even his music was off, and his headphones produced no sound...so he wasn't hearing it from his headphones. But wait... he thought, as he came to a halt, looking up at the sky that Traverse Town had to offer. "What did that voice say to me?"

 

For a few moments he stood there, completely still and closed his eyes, hoping to hear the words that were ringing in his ear again. Still nothing....

 

Trevor sighed and then put his headphones on, knowing it wouldn't be anything different...until...

 

The Blazing Melody...Keyblade...

 

He quickly opened his eyes and looked around: no one. He removed the headphones...and nothing was said. The headphones...they were allowing him to hear this whisper. He placed them on once more.

 

Call...to the other worlds....friends...power....

 

Once these words...or rather phrases were said, the whisper was ceased. The young Keyblade wielder removed his headphones and then turned on his heel, running back towards the inn. The Blazing Melody....I actually like that! But whatever that voice was...its right...calling to the other worlds...would be one thing Balthazar would definitely agree with.

[Frybread002]

Xyu nodded, abielt hesitantly that was, and stepped through the corrider.

Joining Kriex on the other side of the Corrider of Darkness, Xyu's vision blurred for a moment or two. "Where exactly am I?" Xyu asked in a stoic voice. "Kriex was it?" Xyu began. "If you don't mind, I would like to ask a couple of questions."

His vision returning to normal - a latter adjustment to using a corrider for the first time - Xyu took a couple steps to reacqaint his prosthetic limb to new soil...or the lack of one. Looking around his new surroundings, the only real conclusion that Xyu could come up with was "this place was more barren than the dessert."

[Love of Ghibli]

Nerhyx was a tad annoyed at this new person's manners or lack thereof. Nerhyx extend a full olive branch and graciously welcomed this new peasant and this new person didn't even acknowledge him. To add more insult to injury this Xyu Gaso actually paid more attention to Haxz of all Nobodies. This was simply egregious! Haxz is borderline a subsection of a Nobody the fact that the superior paid him any was purely out of occupational obligation (or so Nerhyx hoped anyway), but this relative new person had no such obligations. Nerhyx mentally scoffed and noted his disdain at the newcomer. Hopefully some other Nobody would help him with his training, or maybe he would get eaten by wolves. Both were good options.

 

On the bright side the master had fully acknowledged the Nerhyx. Being blessed with his words was a glorious achievement and to make everything sound more glorious he was able to be gifted with Kreix's own Corridor of Darkness. It most likely wasn't different than any of the other corridors of darkness and he was force to share this wondrous opportunity with some low level noob, but still a fun time nonetheless. Nerhyx decided not to clarify the whole 2 or 3 argument. The Supreme would soon see that for his own eyes and he would be able to make a decision that way. When Nerhyx came out the other end he saw the room of severely long thrones and he realized this must be where the previous Organization XIII met. Seems horrifically impractical, but he seemed ready to get down to business. All that was left was to wait on the others.

[Frybread002]

Before Kriex could answer Xyu's curiousty, the appearnace of Nerhyx completely grabbed Xyu's attention. It wasn't morbid curiousty that grabbed him, but the instincts that something threatening entered the vincinity.

Quickly taking his eyes off Kriex and onto Nerhyx, the appearance of a oldman who was only a couple inches taller than him...let's say 5"10, 5"11, didn't seem too dangerous. It was just the fact that he was old(er) thatn Xyu himself, that made him very catious.

"You must be Nerhyx?" Xyu asked. "I must say, the air around you betrays the innocence your bobdy implies."

Slowly changing his stance to a position that mimicked a falcon ready to swoope on its prey, Xyu stayed a considered distance AWAY from Nerhyx. After all, being a couple inches smaller than your foe(?) and having a prosthetic leg just means you're that much likely to get your *** handed you...regardless of age...

[Love of Ghibli]

Nerhyx glanced at the new nobody finally taking notice of his presence. This worm decided to speak to him and it was great that he started out with some vague combination of a threat and warning. "I've been here the entire time. The fact that you have just noticed me is says more about your lack of ability and manners than my innocence." Nerhyx wanted the Supreme to interrupt but why would someone so special deal with a peasant so beneath his own station. Nerhyx looked up at the thrones and he made his own Corridor of Darkness when he walked through he ended up sitting at the top of one of these thrones. He admitted he liked the view. It was on par with landscape art, pity that these seats would be filled with the unworthy soon enough.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

Well, Ryan should have seen this coming. It seems as though everyone went about their own affairs and ignored him. But it was a little surprising how Shuren didn't respond to his explanation of his nightmare. So, just to snap himself out of his moment, he went back into his room, closed the door, and did the unexpected. "AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!" Ryan screamed at the top of his lungs. Hopefully, now somebody would pay attention to him. He then walked out of his room, wondering how the others would respond to something so sudden.

[Merci]

Confused, Viola reached into her pocket and felt something. A little glassy, but there was definitely something there. A necklace? Her eyes widened in shock as she realized what Shuren must've done, but before she could give an apology or thanks to the boy, her thought process was interrupted by the sound of Ryan - of all people - screaming. Racing quickly towards the source, she stopped as Ryan walked out of his room and gave him a confused look.

 

"Ryan, are you alright?!" She asked worriedly. "I heard you scream, so..."

[Kōsuke Ueki]

"Do I look like I'm alright?" said Ryan in a loud whisper. He then had this look, as if he was going to kill somebody like he has nothing to lose, at everybody still around. "I don't get it. I feel like I have to do that every time just to for you guys to pay attention to me." He then began to pace around now, his mind full of negativity. "I mean, I just explained to Shuren the dreadful nightmare I had last night. Next thing I know, he's looking at Lightning like a perv and then went straight to you, Viola."

He then sighed. Whatever was making him act this way was driving him crazy. Next thing he knew, he punches the wall beside him and the lights began to flicker in and out. But what Ryan saw was more surprising. A new magic ring beside his Fire ring. It looked like it resembled thunder with an aura of it around the ring. So, he tested it on the wall behind him. A small spark came from his hand and singed the part of the wall he aimed at. He then turned to the others in shock and disbelief. "I think I just learned a Thunder spell, out of rage."

[The Warden]

Cornelius slowly released his head and wiped away the tears streaming down his face. His nose sniffled as he calmly picked up the Psypher Blade. His grip was more defensive than before, as he was showing both wariness, and some parts intense dislike on his face. "Sorcerors. I have no love lost for your kind. They'd be better off serving as Fools than confidants. Alas, if you be allied with a brave swordsmen, then surely you are not the evil sort. Though, I will be sure to keep my eye on you."

 

It was at that point that everything went dark, save for a spotlight on Cornelius, taking part in an afformentioned inner monologue. Of course Balthazar is in no ways aware of this, but it seemed appropriate to explained. In any case, Cornelius looked down at the ground. "What madness have I entered? A world I do not know, with only a sorceror and his ilk to guide me. Fate be a fickle thing. Velvet, please wait for me. Don't give up, I know you be still alive. Please don't give up."

 

The spotlight faded, and reality reasserted itself upon the situation. He looked up again to give his best determined look at Balth. "I will agree to side with you. However, there be a problem. I entered this world with six backpacks in total. Though it seems I lost them when I landed nearby. Before I can fully lend my aid, I will need those backpacks."

 

[hr]

 

Meanwhile, in the sparkling city of Los Vegas, Haxz was having the time of his life. He had found a table right next to a stupid but immensely rich Texan, and he was sucking him dry at Poker. In fact, his stirling wins had attracted quite a crowd behind him. He was leaning on the table to rest is smiling face, whilst his victim was showing all the control he could muster.

 

It was a new hand, and he didn't even look at it. He simply made his bet and let the Texan do so as well. The game proceeded, and the Texen went with an outlandish bet, which Haxz met with gusto.

 

After the final card was flipped up, Haxz victim triumphantly revealed a Royal Flush, Queen High. Haxz simply smiled as he flipped his two cards, which gave him a Royal Flush, Ace High. "I guess I win again huh? Well, I've always wanted to own a Beef Ranch I guess. Actually, not really; you can keep it. I just enjoyed pulling the rug out from under you so many times. Ciao."

 

The Texan's wife held him back as Haxz left the table with his earnings, and he was still smirking. "These people are so dumb. I have no idea how or why the Heartless haven't completely overrun them yet."

[Phantom Roxas]

Kreix was situated upon the tallest throne, watching Nerhyx sit upon another while Xyu just stood there. "Well, Xyu, Nerhyx has decided to sit as well. Tell me, shall you join us as well?" When he finished, Xelo appeared in a seat, and a silver haired woman was beside him.

"And that's how it's done," Xelo said to the women, who merely scoffed.

"Ah, welcome Xelo. I take it this is one of our new recruits?"

"Indeed, her name is-"

"Xetatyl," the woman interrupted. "So you're Kreix?"

The Superior nodded. "That is correct. I take it you've met Xelo, and Nerhyx has informed me you've adjusted to your new life as well.

Omcraxs appeared as well, rolling his eyes at the grandiose height of the thrones.

"Welcome, Omcraxs! Haxz tells me of your recent success!"

"Don't get too excited quite yet. I've sent one of my Wraiths to investigate, and he'll report when he has finished."

"He can take his time. For now, I'd like to be acquainted with some of our new members." Kreix looked around the room, examining the other members. "Haxz will not joining us, unsurprisingly, but I hear that we have more new members. I suppose I must ask, where is Lexamus?"

[hr]
Shuren couldn't help but smile when Viola found her present, but that didn't matter when Ryan screamed. After his friend explained how Shuren flat-out ignored him, Shuren shook his head. "Sorry, Ryan, I just… I got other things on my mind. I didn't want Viola's birthday to be terrible, and I know I can't just say 'Gee, that sucks' like I didn't flat out ignore you." He put his head and his hands and shook his head. "Look, we're not going to fail, alright? Trevor's got a Keyblade, Viola is the Prime Merlinean, and look at you! You just got a new spell! But… No, I'm sorry. That ring was right when it bit me, I am no good. You guys go find James without me. Maybe I should stay here, because I'm going to drag you guys down."

[hr]
Balthazar nodded as Trevor walked by, but he was interested in what was going on with the other three. Cornelius seemed to be lost in his own little world, but more importantly, Balthazar could hear Ryan scream. While the blue rabbit was not looking, Balthazar focused his mind on the inn, but he sensed no evil will inside. Reluctantly, he stayed long enough to hear Cornelius say that he was missing some backpacks, after which Balthazar began to speak.

"Alright, I'll help you, but first, would you like to meet my apprentices? They will be sorcerers like myself, but they're young and have much to learn. Perhaps someone of your status could assist them? Even though you don't like someone like me, they're still early into their training that you could… persuade them. Make them not become like whatever sorcerers that you hate. Deal?"

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Trevor kept running as he arrived near the edge of the small platform, at which the inn's entrance was below. He gave it a running start, as he jumped into the air, doing a small flip, before landing on the ground a good ways away from Balthazar and the rabbit.

 

"Oh man that was a rush!" Trevor laughed as he stood up, running his hands through his hair. He turned around and then made his way, cautiously towards the two that stood outside of the inn. "Balthazar, not to interrupt or anything...but I have an interesting development that just occurred." he said, as he placed his hands into his pocket. He noticed Balthazar only waiting for a reply from the rabbit, as he watched him turn slightly. "Well, I've heard a voice ever since this morning. And only just a few moments ago...I heard the whispering voice even clearer when I put these on." Trevor lifted up his headphones for a moment, before continuing. "The voice told me two things. The name of the Keyblade, which is Blazing Melody; and to 'Call to the other worlds'. Then it said something about friends and power. Think any of this means something?"

[Nexev]

Far from the chaos above, Justice plotted in the pits of some unknown sewer. Few knew of Mateus and those aware of him took note of his arrogance, as such few would expect his husk to this memory of pride so readily... which was exactly what Justice wanted. Time has passed but it was time spent well, sources were plundered, and knowledged was reviewed. The mysteries of regaining life remained just that, a mystery, a unreachable goal that has many faustian shortcuts, there are no end to the Mephistos willing to peddle such power to the desperate unaware of the loopholes, and Justice had every intention of being one of those devils. The Emperor still gathered his heartless, while Morgan Le Fay proved a doomed venture it opened options, options that shall be looked through in it's time, till then there is always some bitter man who would trade his life for a drop of vengence, and this hatred swelled the Emperor's grim army.  In time they will be ready and then, then the dragon will pay.

"Excuse me. Big spooky final boss dude? No the other one, sup down here." Strider waved his hands as he emerged from a corridor of darkness, his 'puppet' Laxc hurriedly rushing him towards the meeting he was tardy towards. It's somewhat difficult to lean how to teleport but Laxc, no wait I meant Strider, was a quick study. "You are the chief right? Ole number one as the stories go? Were there stories? I think we need more stories, maybe a romance, put some spice into everyone's lives right? Yeah you get me." Strider shrugged, Laxc imitating the gesture. "So baby, sugar pie honey love, what is the deal with the chairs? Are you gunning to weed out the menbers with a fear of heights? That's discrimination and that's awful cheif. I ain't fully sure we should be shennanigizing with such an ableist. Intentionally exploiting phobias is the absolute worst thing to do, next to xenocide, genocide, domination of minds, homicide, corruption of the information network, starting a illegal death tournament, flipping off old ladies and a lot of other stuff I do, so I guess that means I should probably not be talking. Oh to the wells, as they say. Who says that? I say that. Anyway seriously, why are the chairs so high anyway? Is there any meaning to it or whatever?"

[Christian Exodia]

(Hopefully, I do this right. Since i'm trying to get an introductory piece, it will be short until I have some action.)

 

His escape was orchestrated without failure. His Yang blade separated the bars into little pieces and he simply walked out. "You can't take the blade from somebody who can summon them to him. I'm the best." He silently cackled, keeping a grin on his face. The man, Dawn, kept his blades quiet by placing them inside leather encasing to minimize sound. He was captured, and now he was gone. His smile, although considerably a thought of his escape, was false; a figment to dash thought of any thought of a shady character.

 

The shadowy figure crosses the halls of the Castle. Two blades on his back somehow clang, and they'd give away his appearance. If, however, he weren't alone. The figure's begins a further walk and exits the dark shadows of t. He is silent, yet still forcing a smile. Knowing he is alone, he simply leaves his thoughts to himself and continues on his way. "I wish... some more action would occur around me. Being here is not anything of interest." From his lips escape a single sentence, unknown to all but him in the same way that the sound of a isolated falling tree would only be known the tree itself.

[Phantom Roxas]

Kreix's head sank into his hand. With his free arm, he summoned Jumpsuit, freezing the Dusk in midair and grabbing it by throat.
 
"I take it this is your doing?"

"Uh, maybe?" Kreix tightened his grip. "GACK! Al- alright, it was me! I just thought he was a cool guy who make for an awesome ally!"

Kreix rolled his eyes and dropped Jumpsuit, who teleported away before hitting the ground. Kreix reclined in his chair and coughed. "Please, do not presume that his incompetence reflects on this Organization as a whole. No then, puppeteer, to answer your questions, yes, I am the leader of this Organization. As for the height of these thrones, they are remnants of the old group. Of course, if you'd like a seat that you could just walk to…" With a wave of his hand, a throne decreased in height until it was as tall as Laxc.

"Actually, I'm with him on this one," Omcraxs interrupted. "These seats are pretty damn tall.

Kreix shrugged. "If you inset." Kreix commanded all the thrones to be at a reasonable level

"My feet can't touch the ground."

"Tough."

"Let me guess," Xetatyl said. "This isn't supposed to reflect badly on the rest of you either."

Kreix glared at Xetatyl, but then returned his focus to the center of the room.

Xelo broke the brief silence. "Pardon me, sir, but there's one more member I haven't quite mentioned yet. He was defeated by the group of children, which included the wielder of the Keyblade."

"Children? Well, I suppose they wouldn't be much older than the ones who defeated the Organization."

"You guys are scared of kids?" Xetatyl mused. "Lame."

Kreix ignored Xetatyl. "Well then, Xelo, call upon this Nobody."

Xelo nodded, teleporting to where he sensed Justice's presence, finding himself in a sewer. Justice's aura was faint, but Xelo could find him before Kreix's patience wore thin. He should have given him the Recuscant's Sigil when he had the chance.

[The Warden]

Cornelous gripped his sword tighter, but relinquished the grip and sheathed it on his back. The absurdity of the size different was much more apparant when they were lined up for measurement. "I have little course but to accept you offer. Tis a sorry thing to rely on magic but- would it be incorrect of me to assume that is one of your apprentices?"

 

He was of course refering to Trevor, who has just leapt off the inn balcony and landed. The boy spoke, and Cornelius did not. He merely looked aside as his inner monologue sparked up again. "The boy hears voices? And, the Key Blade? Is that some sort of Psypher? I have only known those held by the Valkyrie's Commander, as well as Velvet's and the Fairy Queen's. This man is most unusual, I should remain wary around him and his... strange apprentices. And worlds? Could there be more than two, well, tis there be more than one, Erion, than surely there are more. Many worlds, and maybe one of them be where those of Valentine came from. Curioser and curioser."

 

Seems the apprentice was eagerly awaiting approval from the sorceror. Mages are such an arrogant bunch. "You are incredibly dextrous apprentice. I am Prince Cornelius of Titania. Pray, what is your name?"

Haxz Corridored back to the Library, and found it empty. The Deadbeats and Gamblers weren't back yet, that's unusual for them. Usualy by sheer dumb luck they would have found something. Actually, the Library felt quiet in general. Where was everyone?

Nerhyx now watching as the one by one these late beings slowly trudged their way into the meeting place, his face was motionless but the disgust was very prominent. He didn't understand why these unkempt slobs were allowed to breathe the same air as the superior and himself. Though on the plus side arguably the most annoying one of the group Haxz was nowhere to be found. One would call this the silver lining of all things. Nerhyx was oddly refreshed as he saw the crassness of the female nobody be displayed. It would have been odd for there to be another Nobody, bar the superior obviously, that he got along with. He was getting annoyed with all of this back talk to the superior. These nobodies were just being disrespectful. 

 

He stayed silent while he wondered who this new nobody would be. Naturally he thought about the entity he watched from a distance during Number 2 and 3's little escapade, but there was a possibility that it was a new person all together. Either way Nerhyx was going to be polite about this new arrival.

As he escaped his confinement, a thought came across Dawn's mind. When they notice I am gone, they will come after me. I need to find a way to hide. As he frantically searched for a way to change his appearance, he quickly had an idea. If he could manipulate his Yin and Yang blades, then he could- VOILA! It worked, and his blade was gone. Now here was a new blade, a tad hefty but it would do the job while he was in hiding. He swiftly ran for a different area to regroup and decide what to do next. "If I pull this off, I will be so lucky!" Dawn kept his speed up and tried frantically searching while in mid-run.

"Uh, right. Congratulations, I guess?"

 

Viola didn't really get what Ryan was trying to say even though she felt like she should cheer him up somehow, but it looked as if he'd cheered himself up somehow by learning a new Thunder spell, through rage. That didn't make much sense, but it couldn't be helped. Even so, after that little event, there was one thing she was certain about - this guy is bipolar. That was when Shuren began speaking, being all depressed about himself.

 

"I- i- idiot!" She said right out of the blue, turning around to face him. "You've been depressed like this ever since James disappeared. Honestly, we've all been. Only Trevor seems to be normal. But we can't solve this by ourselves. Didn't I tell you that we'd all stick together? Come on, both of you. We've got a friend to save."

 

Suddenly, she took Shuren's hand with her right, and Ryan's with left, before dragging the two boy apprentices to where Balthazar was. While Trevor was already there, they were also met with the sight of an unusual blue rabbit. That was weird. Maybe it was their master's familiar, or maybe it was an old friend? Why else would it be here? Nevertheless, she pushed all those thoughts of speculation away to focus on the matter at hand.

 

"I am Prince Cornelius of Titania. Pray, what is your name?"

 

"I'm Viola Makaivair, Prime Merlinean!" The girl introduced herself excitedly with a bow, even though she knew that he/she/it was talking to Trevor.

 

Afterwards, she turned to her master.

 

"Um, Balthazar? Why's a blue rabbit prince here?"
