It was a nice warm summer day in New Bodhum. Zack was sitting down at the beach looking at the waves roll in one by one. "I wonder if things will ever be the same for me? I need to get out of this place soon enough, or be caught like Lightning was. I wonder if I will be on the run forever now." Zack asked himself outloud while holding onto his arm.

 

Aria woke up with a jolt. Aria had a dream where the worlds were about to be gone for good. "Its just a dream. But, maybe its a meaning?" Aria asked and got ready to go. Aria lived in the town of Twilight Town. Aria usually didnt do anything special but hang around a few friends each day. Aria was walking on the street when she stopped and looked up at the sky. "Is this really all there is to life? So many worlds, with eachday feeling the same." Aria said.

 

Paul was talking with Victoria in the HQ in the world of Campus 9912 in the KH reality. "Sir, are you sure you just want to make our creatures go and attack both realities? It didnt work that well when Ansem tried it." Victoria said lying down on the couch. Paul looked at her. "I dont care what other people tried! I know that my plan is fool-proof, you can be sure of that. Now get out of here and go find people who would stop me and kill them." Paul told her. Victoria got up and looked back at Paul. "Yes, sir." Victoria said and walked out the room.

Ri tried her best not to fall as she pushed Mystery off his bed as he shot awake glaring at who woke him but noticing it was Ri he stopped and just went silent before she grabbed him by the hand and pulled him up. "You made a deal remember? You're going to keep it. I want to be able to see another world and your my ticket to being able to do that. You even said it yourself that you could get to other worlds and now I want to see one." Destiny Islands was pretty good but she wanted to see another world it would be something to experience and with her friend she could. Anyways there where lots of people that would kill him if they knew he was a Xehanort copy. She made the deal to make sure no one did if he stayed with her. Mystery sighed once before getting up and quickly getting dressed before getting dragged by Ri. He was keeping his promise and she was keeping hers so he would have to go along. This world was getting a little boring so he could take her to another. The best idea came as he smiled. He had thought of the perfect world to go on a visit to.

 

Eternal lazily walked around holding the two red struggle bats on the gold chain that he always had. He sighed looking around as he twirled the bats in his fingers obviously bored. There was always one thought in his mind that just never left. "What if they find out I am a Xemnas copy?" No one yet knew that he was but some wondered why he looked so much like the Evil Nobody that stole hearts for his evil plan. He however was smarter than that and rather liked helping.

Jalyn

 

Jalyn flew out of the portal, energy crackling behind her before finally dying out. "Jay. Jay! Where are you?!" Jalyn pulled herself up, looking around for the crimson blade.She crawled over to the Keyblade, dragging it across the ground as she pulled herself up to a stand. "Hey, watch the paint!"

 

"Sorry." She slung Gilgamesh over her shoulder. "I'm still a little off from our little..."

 

"Accident?" The blade offered. "I told you we should've just-"

 

"Well, I need to learn at some point!" She shouted, suddenly realizing that she didn't know where they were. Or who would be hearing her outburst. But then another thought jumped in: what time was it? "Hey, Gil. When are we?" She could swear he was rolling his eyes. Well, if he had eyes.

 

"I am getting so sick of that question... not hearing it, just the fact that we have t think about it." He was silent for a few moments, Scanning the area around them. "Radiant Garden, year... 3000? Damn..."

 

"That's farther than we've jumped before." Jalyn swept the hair out of her eyes, the breeze immediately sweeping it back. It was well over two thousand years since her time... and barely anything had changed. Simply amazing! "Hey, do you think our house is still here?"

 

"You mean what's left of our house?" Gilgamesh asked. Oh yeah. She had forgotten about that. Gil sighed. "We need to stop this madness. These fluctuations are too confusing, Jay."

 

"Well, maybe Jast is here." She looked up to the grand clockwork castle beyond the gates in front of her. "You never know. Those Cult freaks are all over the place."

 

"Yeah, and that Black Figure too. Your BF..." Gilgamesh added with an overly exaggerated fluctuation in his tone. Jerk.

 

"Stop calling him that!" She leaned back on the wall quickly, the blade letting out a shout of surprise. He hated when she did that!

 

The Figure stood atop one of the houses nearby, watching as Jalyn attacked her friend with the local architecture. Could they really stop Yhujamu?

 

Natya

 

2910 AF. What did AF mean again? That's right. After the Fall. A pretty useless system of time at this point. Natya looked across the Archylte Steppe, watching as feral creatures romaed through the uncontrollable overgrowth. Life was too quiet down here on Pulse. She longed to return to New Eden; the big city was more for her taste. But could she really go back now? It had been a few months since her encounter with the fal'Cie, and her Focus continued to replay through her mind, although it made little sense. Apparently, that was the norm.

 

"Hey, Nat!" One of the girls from the encampment ran up the hill to where she stood. Natya didn't have many friends here. "For a while we weren't sure if you were coming back or not!" She said with a wide smile.

 

"I'm not." The girl's smile vanished. "Pulse is no place for me. And besides, th-" She looked to the girl, unable to say what she was about to. There's no place for a l'Cie here. No one knew but Natya, and it was probably best left that way. "I have some things that I need to take care of. I'll be gone for a while."

 

"Well... when do you think you'll be back? Do your aunt and uncle know?"

 

"Yeah." She lied. "And I'm not sure when I'll be back." Probably never. Maybe it would be best if they just thought I was-

 

"Just," her thought was interrupted by the girl. Her voice was full of concern, almost sorrow. "Be careful, alright?" Natya watched her with almost-disbelief. People here actually cared about her?

 

"Yeah, I will." She answered, averting her gaze form the girl before heading into the wilds below.

Mystery pinched the bridge of his nose. "It was supposed to be to Twilight Town not Radiant Garden. Still this should keep her happy I guess. I really don't want to be here again." He thought as Ri looked around clinging to his arm with a expression of wonder. "This is Radiant Garden right?" Mystery looked like a brick has just hit him as he looked at Ri with a look of confusion. "How do you know that name?" Ri giggled before putting a finger to Mystery's mouth. "You talk a lot in you're sleep. You mumbled about all sorts of things like this place, Light, Dark, and some thing called Kingdom Hearts." She told him as he sighed. He knew he was to much like Xehanort if he talked about those things in his sleep. "Come let's just get going before I decide to take you back to Destiny Islands..........." He mumbled as Ri kept a hold on his arm as they walked.

 

Eternal looked up trying to decide where to go at this point while he sighed once more. "So what to do I need some munny if I ever want to go to Radiant Garden. Maybe i'll get the chance to get into Ansem's files if i'm lucky............." He mumbled before walking trying to think of how much munny he would need for a trip to Radiant Garden. "I'd say about 5,000 munny would cover everything if I come back here to sleep..............."

Um what's going on here again? :wacko:

Misaki sat in a bench in Radient Garden. The sun was shinning bright in her face. She opened her eyes and looked around. Did i fall asleep, she thought as she stood up and streched her arms. Her heas felt heavy. "Okay, where to go?" She saie and started walking. Should spend a little more time here before i move into another world, she thought as she walked and looked for something to do

Mystery just wanted to be able to beat up something as he twirled rather cautiously Master Xehanort's keyblade in his right hand with skill as he sighed. "No one ever puts up a decent challenge. Makes me wonder how Xehanort got beat if I haven't been beat by anyone." He mumbled still twirling the blade on his finger. He was sure someone would come and notice this and start asking why he has this keyblade. There where few who didn't know who's keyblade this once was or still was if you thought about it. Ri still clinging to him on the other side looked at everything as she tried to think of how to react to it.

Eternal grabbed his bag putting in a few items before eyeing Xemnas's Ethereal Blades that sat on his dresser. "I guess it would be a good idea to bring those along if something bad happened I would have better weapon's if I needed them." he mumbled before putting the blades in the bag as well before collecting his pouch of munny. He carefully looked around to make sure no one was watching before he vanished into a Dark Corridor.

Jalyn

 

"Alright! I give!" Jalyn pushed herself off of the building, her friend's surrender sweet music to her ears. "You know I hate it when you do that!"

 

"Then stop making me do it!" She joked. It had been a while since they could have fun. These moments were too far and in-between. "You know, while we're here we should go see the fountains. Maybe they-"

 

"No time." Gilgamesh cut her off. The blade quivered. "I'm picking up something... it's a Keyblade. No... three? Four!" The Keyblade was shaking furiously now. "And some crazy dark power coming from their location. We can't just let this go, Jay."

 

Jalyn sighed. Once again the fun was ruined. "Alright, but keep Scanning those Keyblades. I don't want any surprises." Gilgamesh had settled down by the time she had found the source. There was a girl with blue hair clinging to... "Xehanort?" She peeked around the corner. That was his Keyblade, alright. Was he tangled up wiht the Cult as well? There was only one way to find out.

 

"Wait, Jay! I'm not done yet!" Gil shouted as she rounded the corner. Jalyn stood a few meters behind the pair, the Keyblade still slung behind her.

 

"Xehanort!"

(Gray hair. That's the color for Ri.)

As soon as he heard the name he tensed before mumbled a curse as he held the Keyblade with a clenched fist. "You mind leaving for now?" He whispered to Ri as she nodded. "You owe me big time Mystery." She whispered back before letting go and running out of the area as he summoned another Keyblade. This is one looked like it was based of the Lingering Sediment as he held it in his left hand before he turned to the figure who had called his name. "Why are you asking?" This was said darkly but he couldn't miss out on the chance to fight as he held both blades in a stance obviously able to duel wield.

Eternal bumped into Ri not far away as he looked at the girl. "Um hello.........." He mumbled holding the struggle bats loosely by the chain. "Oh hey you look like na the name's Ri." She said holding out her hand as Eternal shook it swiftly. "Mines Eternal. What exactly are you doing?" he asked as she giggled. "Keeping out of my friends hair for a while. By any chance you know where you're going around here? I need a little help getting around." She asked as he nodded. "I can help with that."

OOC: Oh. It looked blue in the pic.

 

Jalyn took half a step back. "Well, there's two of them." She muttered.

 

"And that's definitely Xehanort's Keyblade." Gilgamesh noted. "I finshed Scanning. I'm ready whenever you are." He was itching for a fight, but was that really a good idea?

 

"Let's hold off on that for now, Gil." Jalyn took a few steps forward. Now that she was closer, there was something... different about him. That was definitely his Keyblade, but...

 

"You're not Xehanort, are you?"

 

Natya

 

The wind was starting to pick up, the long grass tangling up in her hair. She had to put her way through, some of the plants brushing up into her face. This place was out of control. Hopefuly, there weren't any monsters lurking in here. If there wer any, they were probably just as lost as she was anyways. Finally, Natya broke out of the overgrowth. She stumbled into the open, picking grass out of her jacket. If this was how her journey was starting out, then she was almost afraid of what would happen next. She didn't have to wait long.

 

When Natya looked up, there was a man standing in front of her. Well, it was most likely a man. His body looked manish, although it was had to be certain with that coat he was wearing. "Natya Sarip?" His voice was surprisingly deep.

 

"Who's asking?" She almost took a defensive stance, but stopped herself. She didn't want to do anything that might antagonize this guy.

 

"I have a message for you." The man in the black coat raised a hand, black energy gathering in his grasp. "From Paul Jackson." Before she knew what was happening, Natya's world went dark.

{Dorael}

Dorael exited the portal his armor had created. He had found it many years ago, after he had completed SOLDIER training. The armor he wore sometimes seemed to lead him around. It had never created a portal before, but he wasn't too surprised about that. But why the heck was he here?

He took in a deep breath and looked around. He appeared to be at some sort of beach.

"Maybe the people here ran out of sun tan lotion." He quipped as he started walking along the beach.

After he walked a ways, he found a guy sitting on the beach.

"Hey." Dorael greeted Zack. "I come in peace and all that jazz."

He stopped walking a couple of yards from Zack, trying not to look too imposing.

"Mind telling me where they heck here is?"

He eased knowing his game was up before both keyblades vanished in a black burst of darkness. He pouted slightly as he crossed his arms together in front of him. "Looks like my games up then. I sorta am Xehanort in a way. I am Xehanort copy No.21 but just call me Mystery." He stated before noticing Eternal with Ri. "Well I didn't know a Xemnas copy survived all of them faded away except for the first one that got away. You must be the one that got away." Eternal took this as the time for him to tense before he relaxed. "So what at least i'm not off the original nor do I want to be like any of them. Will you quit referring me as a clone damn it. I already kicked your ass once for doing it or do I need to do it again?" He stated glaring at Mystery before crossing his arms as well. "Just call me Eternal." He stated as Ri flicked Mystery on the nose. "Quit being mean. I knew I recognized the hair on you. Now I've meet two of there clones amazing." She stated as Eternal twirled the chain with the struggle bats.

"WTF?!" Gilgamesh almost shouted, Jalyn reaching back. She grabbed the bade by the end, shaking it.

 

"Shut up!" She flashed an apologetic smile to the others. "Sorry, he's... well, Gilgamesh. And I'm Jalyn." But even though Gil went about it the wrong way, he did have a point. There were clones of Xehanort running around. Who made them? How many were there? Were any of them planning anything? Was the Black Figure one of them?

 

"Hey, Jay. Maybe your B-"

 

"I already thought of that." She cut him off, the blade letting out a disappointed "hmph". "Anyways, we're looking for a man in a long black coat."

 

"And the Cult of Skaro." Gil cut in. "You know any of them?"

"Black Cloak. Mysterious guy right? I have seen him going through the Dark Corridor's before. I am the only known Xehanort copy left if you're wondering and Xemnas's copy well he's the only one that didn't fade into Nothing like the Nobody did. The reason why he's Xemnas copy No. 1." Mystery stated rather calmly. He knew what they where thinking he had to think like someone evil so it helped in some situation to be able to think about what they might be thinking. Eternal this time was ticked as he skillfully knocked Mystery out with the two red struggle bats. "I kicked his ass once and i'll do again." He mumbled crossing his arms and pinching the bridge of his nose. "I'll see all of you later I have some business to attend to." Eternal said before vanishing into a Dark Corridor. "Why do I always get stuck with weird people? Or people related to Xehanort? It's just weird." Ri said as she poked Mystery who was knocked out cold.

{Ash}

Ash watched Jalyn, Mystery and Ri from the shadows. She had been sent there to keep an eye on these. They were potential problems for her master. Or alleys. He had not been that exact about his explanation of the targets. All Ash had to do was keep an eye on them.

Zack didnt look away from the waves. "What does it matter anymore? It is not my home now. I have lost everything that I ever had. I am now on the run." Zack told Dorael.

 

Aria was hanging out with a few of her friends at the train station tower. They were eating sea salt ice cream and looking at the twilight sky. "So do you ever wonder what could happen besides this?" Aria asked her friends. "I dont know, but I am fine with the simple life." Aria's friend Jill said.

{Dorael}

Dorael blinked a few times as he stared at Zack.

"Well, that happened." he thought.

"Um." he said aloud, rubbing the back of his helmet. "Okay."

He glanced around.

"I seem to be on a trip to some where. As long as I know your name and why you are running, you can tag along."

"If you are ready to be hunted down, then sure I will come with you. My name is Zack Koss. A month ago from today, I turned into a l'Cie, and so now I have shut myself away from the world and I am also on the run. The worst thing is I dont know what my focus is, so I will become a monster in this year of 2910 AF most likely." Zack said as he got up and walked over to Dorael.

{Dorael}

Dorael tsked. He had heard of l'Cie. He waved a dismissive hand.

"As long as you give me advancing warning about the whole turning into a monster thing, we should be good." he said.

He glanced back the way he had come.

"Not like I don't know what it feels like to be hunted." he murmured.

He then turned back to Zack.

"Well, since we are going to travel together, care to tell me where the heck are we?"

"We are in the year 2910 AF in New Bodhum. But to me, all I see is Old Fall Town, which means this was my home for years and now I am changed into a monster." Zack said.

 

Paul was in his master control room working something up on the computer there. "Now this will just about do it. All I need to do is press this button and....." Paul pressed the button in the middle of the room. The button made the two realites come together at this moment.

 

Zack and Dorael were being sucked into a huge dark hole. "Dude, what is happening here?" Zack asked Dorael as he hunged into a pole for his life.

 

(New Bodhum is pretty much being sucked into a black hole which is going to destory the world like in KH with Destiny Islands)

Neena clung to the rooftop of an old Wutai house. Wutai had long since been abandoned but still made an excellent training ground. "I'm almost ready to avenge my village" Neena muttered to herself. "Tommorrow I will go find a Yharujamu encampment and do my best to destroy it." Even if she didn't destroy it it would still let her get a better view of how strong she was.

{Dorael}

On Dorael's mental command, the armor adjusted it's weight to keep it and him on the ground. He hadn't figured out how adjusting his weight like that was useful till now. Still, Dorael felt like he won't be touching ground much longer if the the black hole upped it's pull. He walked slowly over to Zack and grabbed hold of him.

"Beats me." he answered Zack's question. "My home town didn't get weather like this."

He glanced up at at the black hole. His armor fed some information into his mind.

"Crap. What ever caused it, that thing is going to suck up this whole place."

Dorael concentrated on getting the armor to teleport him and Zack away.

"Let go of the pole!" he yelled at Zack as the wind picked up. "I'll get us out of here."

"I am unsure about that. I never seen anything like this before. But I guess I will let you get us out of here, if you can take us to a place called Twilight Town." Zack said and let go of the pole.

 

Aria was done with her friends and was going to go back home to get ready for the movie they were seeing tonight. Aria was walking on a street when she stopped and felt like another reality just formed with hers. She then noticed that a storm cloud was coming in, luckiy it was only rain, for now.

{Dorael}

Dorael grunted at Zack's pull was added to his own.

"Twilight Town?" he asked. "Sounds like a amusement park."

Dorael felt his feet leave the ground.

"But I always enjoyed parks."

He shut his eyes and concentrated on the name and the desire to teleport away. Suddenly, the sound of wind vanished and he fell on his back. He opened his eyes and found he and Zack were in a city.

"I hope this is that Twilight Town you wanted." he said, standing up and offering a hand to Zack. "Cause that's as good as my driving gets currently."

Zack got up and looked around. "This is the place. In another reality then mine, where I can finally be free from the being hunted." Zack said and looked around the area. There was a girl with blue hair looking up at the sky, while it was raining. Zack walked over to her. "Hey, miss. Me and my friend here have just arrived in town and we are searching for the train station here, would you mind telling us where it is?" Zack asked her. Aria looked at Zack. "Well, it is this.....why dont I just show you. Follow me." Aria said. Zack looked back at Doreal, "Well, you coming or what?"

{Dorael}

Dorael shrugged, the movement somewhat dampened by his shoulder plates.

"Sounds good to me." he said.

His armor was telling him that they were in a very different place from Zack's home or even Dorael's home. And Dorael wasn't too sure that was an all good thing. He clomped over to Zack and Aria.

"I'm Dorael, by the way." he said in a cheerful tone.
