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.

"Oh right, I almost forgot. I'm Zack." Zack told Aria. "I'm Aria, your normal town girl." Aria told them. Aria led them to the train station. "Here we are. If I may ask why are you coming here in the first place?" Aria asked them. "We are here to go onto the train to the tower." Zack said. Aria knew all about the tower. Somehow it was connected to Twilight Town. "Fine, I am in. And dont say I cant take care of myself, because I have praticed everyday for a adventure." Aria said. "As long as it is fine with Dorael, then you may come with us." Zack said.

{Dorael}

"Tower?" Dorael asked. "What tower are we talking about?"

He stopped and held up his hands.

"Sorry. first things first. Nice to meet you both and Aria, I am more than happy to have you along."

He nodded to himself.

"Okay, that's out of the way, what tower?"

"Well the tower used to be home to Yen Sid, until he died. Now people have changed it into an HQ to track down the darkness." Aria told Dorael. Then Zack and Aria started walking into the station to get on the train.

{Dorael}

"Hmm." Dorael said. "I can work with that."

He followed after Zack and Aria into the station. He was going to ask what train when he caught sight of one that was blue and had a stars and moon theme to it.

"Our ride." he said to himself.

He looked over at Aria.

"We need to pay or something?"

"Its free hour. We can board for free." Aria said. They then got onto the train and it was rolling on to the tower. While on the train, Zack looked at Aria. "So why is it that you are coming with us? You know you might not see your home again for a while." Zack told Aria. Aria looked at him. "I know, but you all seem to need help. Plus, I am tired of the same ol' same ol'. Plus when I saw you, I felt something different about you." Aria told Zack. "Well, I am the same as any other human." Zack said and put his hand on his arm to hide his mark.

{Dorael}

Dorael sat on one of the benches lining the wall of the magical train. He was still wondering why he was on this particular path, but he wasn't too worried. If it turned out the Tower wasn't what he needed, then he was sure he could get somebody there to point him in the right direction.

"Well, it should at least be fun." He chimed into Zack's and Aria's conversation.

He hoped Aria hadn't noticed Zack's little hiding move. Not the best of conversation pieces, a l'Cie brand.

"Don't know how long I'll stay, myself, but I'm looking forward to see what these Tower's got."

Aria wondered why Zack had covered his arm for. She decide to act like she didnt see anything. Zack looked at Dorael. "Well, no matter what, I know it will point us out in the right direction to find the new group of villians." Zack told him.

Jalyn

 

"Jay, get down!" Jalyn threw herself to the ground as space began to distort around her. Everything became fuzzy, the buildings bordering unrecognizable. The Xehanort copies and that girl blurred and vanished, the entire world changing. Jalyn curled up, covering her head as the winds raged around her. When they finally died down, she looked up.

 

"Gil... I don't think we're in Radiant Garden anymore." She looked around her at the towering spires, the vehicles flying past her. Well, above her, really. It was a sprawling metropolis, crowds of people lining the walkways.

 

"Jay, I don't think we're in our universe anymore." The blade began shaking. "I'm picking up some kind of immense power here, but I can't recognize it. I can't even guess what it is!" Jalyn frowned, scanning their new surroundings before pulling a man over.

 

"Excuse me, but I'm lost. Where are we?" The man gave her an odd look. She obviously didn't look like she belonged here.

 

"Leviathan Plaza. We're in the dead center of New Eden." She thanked him, the man tkaing one last glimpse before hurrying away.

 

"New Eden, huh?" Gilgamesh sighed. "Never heard of it. 'Something's rotten in the state of Denmark'."

 

"And we're gonna find out what it is." Jalyn began to move through the crowds, making her way toward one of the larger buildings.

 

Natya

 

Natya, however, was just coming to. She rolled over onto her back with a groan, rubbing her head. It felt like she had been trampled by an oretoise. She opened her eyes, immediately shocked. She was on pavement. There was no pavement on the Archylte Steppe.

 

She shot upward ot a sit, looking around. It looked like a town of some sort. Sunset, by the look of it. The weather was nice, the sound of train whistles and trolley bells chiming in the distance. It was... quaint. But it was also different. It just felt different. Natya stood up, her balance shifting as she did so. It's a good thing no one was around to see that. But now, she would have to find someone to tell her what the hell was going on.

Neena climbed down from the roof of the Wutai house intending to go to bed. She had set up camp in an old hero's house. As she walked towards the house a mysterious figure in a black hooded coat appeared in front of her. Startled Neena drew her sword. "Chaos is coming. Two realities are merging. You are one who will protect these two realities." the Mysterious Figure said. "What are you talking about?!" Neena yelled at him. "You can do no good here. You need to be where the other heroes are." the Mysterious Figure said, as he disappeared from sight. As Neena lowered her sword in curiosity, her whole world turned black and she fell unconcious.

{Dorael}

Dorael shrugged.

"Most likely." he agreed.

He chuckled.

"And if I'm really lucky, they'll have a hot tub somewhere. This armor can get heavy at times."

 

{Ash}

Ash judged her opinions in a split second. With Jayln disappearing, she had to choice which targets to follow. Her master seemed to indicate that Mystery might be the more unpredictable opponent and the most potential ally. Ash fought against the wind to make sure she could follow Mystery and Ri.

"Save the hot tub of later." Aria began to laugh. When they arrived, they got off and were at the entrance to the tower. "I still cant believe this is still here. My realitivie found out a lot here by Yen Sid." Zack said.

Mystery fell to the ground before his vision almost went blank while Ri grabbed onto him before it all stopped as he landed on the ground rather painfully. He got up stumbling but he knew someone was following him as he summoned Master Xehanort's keybalde before looking at Ash and doing something completely rash for his part. He launched at Ash striking down next to Ask with a keyblade glowing with Darkness as he gave Ash a glare. "You're kind aren't welcome. I'm not going to be turned into something evil." With that said he spun his keyblade ready to hit Ash.

Eternal hurt as he lifted himself up. Faintly making out the shape of someone else. "Why do I always end up back here Yen Sid?" Was the only sentence he said as the figure identified as Yen Sid smiled just slight. Eternal sighed knowing he was going to have to listen to the old Master as he sat himself up right before pinching the bridge of his nose.

{Ash}

Ash flipped back, away from Mystery. She stayed in a low crouch, her left hand on the ground to add more stability. She gazed at Mystery with inquisitive eyes, but said nothing.

She pointed to Mystery's keyblade, then at herself, then to Mystery himself, finally shaking her head.

Neena woke up behind a bush out of sight from others. Her head was throbbing. When she stood up, she saw that she was next to a tower. The tower had a magical aura surrounding it. She saw some other people come out of a train and head toward the tower. Even though she had learned not to trust anyone, she needed to know where she was. Neena walked over to them and asked, "Hi, do you know where this is?"

Mystery never was someone to trust others as he summoned yet another keyblade. "Eternal Sediment..........." He said in a low whisper taking it up before throwing it back in a cutting motion as he pointed Master Xehanort's blade at Ash. "Prepare to meet your end." Was said in a low hiss before he he went on again to attack this time not holding back as both blades glowed with Darkness and strong was the easiest way to describe it. He was ticked and when he was ticked he was stronger which meant trouble for whoever he was planning on hurting to finishing. He hadn't even summoned Guardian yet either.

Eternal bitterly waited sitting not to off from Yen Sid as he looked at his damaged Red struggle bats. "Okay maybe it was a good idea to keep them........." He thought as he brought out Xemnas's Ethereal blades with a simple movement.

Aria and Zack looked Neena. "Well, we are at Yen Sid's old tower, which is now called "TOWER SID"." Aria told the girl. "But who are you, and what are you doind here?" Zack asked Neena. Zack tought that if anyone else shows up, he might as well kill himself, before anyone could find the truth about him.

OOC: Where'd that MF come form, Rikuva? He wasn't in the char shets.

 

Jalyn

 

New Eden. Apparently, it was inside of an enormous planetoid that was hovering about the ground miles below. A small planet! Hovering! Apparnetly, it had been based on a similar structure in the past, although she didn't bother to remember what it had been called. Jalyn finally arrived at the largest building she could find. It was just as Gil had said: "If it's big, it's gotta be important!"

 

She pushed open the large double doors, the masses of people inside engulfing her in a second. Going this way and that, seemingly no direction at all, it was very confusing. "Excuse me!" She shouted, trying to force her way through the crowd. Her words were drowned out by the mob, but she still managed to pull herself out. Jalyn took a deep breath, chuckling a little as she looked back. "I thought we were gonna die in there!"

 

"That has yet to be decided." That voice. Jalyn spun around, drawing Gilgamesh as she did so. The man in the black coat stood opposite her, his arms crossed over his chest. "These worlds have been connected. Tied to the darkness."

 

"The hell are you on about?!" Gilgamesh shouted. The mass of people behind them didn't seem to notice any of the activity. Either that, or they just didn't care.

 

"The one who sent you here, to this world." His voice cut through the deafening chatter around them. "Paul Jackson. He leads a group known as 'Yhujamu'."

 

"And why are you telling us this?" Jalyn asked with a sneer. This man was all over the place. Helping her, fighting her, fighting for her. What was his angle? "What are we supposed to do about it?" The man lifted a hand in a quizzical motion.

 

"I want you to destroy him. And his organization." Jalyn's face dropped into a scowl, Gilgamesh shaking with rage.

 

"Just where do you get off, buddy?!" He shouted. "'Stop Davros'. 'Stop Eve'. Kill Paul'. We're not taking this, are we Jay?!"

 

"No way." He tone was heavy. The man shook his head in disappointment.

 

"Then you have condemned all worlds." His words were heavy. He turned from the duo, vanishing in a cloud of black smoke.

 

"Just who does that guy think he is, Jay? Running around, telling us what to do?! We oughta put him in his place... one of these days." Jalyn was still watching where the man had been standing, the gears of her mind turning.

 

"Yeah, right... after he stops being right." Gil sighed. It would be another one of those days. Or weeks.

(Just to warn you, Rixku, Ash won't talk. At most, she'll use one word sentences.)

{Ash}

Ash summoned her Keyblade. Going full defensive, she dodged and blocked Mystery's attacks, ending up jumping back again. She gave Mystery an annoyed glare.

"Enough." she said clearly.

She dismissed her Keyblade, and held up her hands in a nonthreatening manner.

 

{Dorael}

Dorael turned and regarded Neena. Earlier today, it was just him. Now, he had two traveling buddies and he had the strong feeling that he might be getting another in the immediate future. Not that he minded.

He gave Neena a two fingered salute as a way of greeting.

"I don't trust people with you scent. I won't quit since you're the one who's been following me. I won't want to work with Darkness like Xehanort so why don't you scram or i'll show you why I haven't been beat." He stated in a Dark manner. He wasn't someone to be messed with right now and the obvious sign of Darkness was shown as it appeared to leak off him. It was strong to say the very least as he kept a glared fixed on Ash. "Now don't make take it up a notch with Guardian." He threatened and he wasn't kidding about the Heartless. He didn't want to but if it got Ash to go away he would do it.

{Ash}

Ash rolled her eyes and shook her head. She lifted a hand and made it glow slightly with light. She used her other hand to point at Mystery's chest where his heart was.

"Needed." she stated simply.

She then gestured to indicate the world around them, then engulfed a hand in dark fire. She then pointed to where Jalyn once was.

"Danger."

Mystery eased his position but didn't let go of the keyblades. The Darkness that came from him slowed and became smaller but it still came off of him in a blackish smoke at this point. The light it hurt him from this spot. He wouldn't dare get closer to Ash right now not with the possibility of dying. "Needed or not I don't give a damn care about it at this point. The light it hurts and I want to help but it doesn't exactly like me." He stated pointing a Keyblade at the one hand glowing with light.

{Ash}

Ash arched a questioning eyebrow. She dismissed the Light and Darkness she had summoned. She stared a moment at the hand that had the light in it a moment ago. She then looked back up at Mystery. She regarded him with a mixed look of understanding and disappointment. She then pointed to Master Xehanort's Keyblade, then switched it to Mystery. She shook her head. She then pointed to the other Keyblade Mystery held and nodded.

Mystery shook his head before letting Eternal Sediment vanish but it didn't vanish with Darkness this time but with light as he hissed slightly. "Sorry but that isn't convincing me either. The thing it's based off also tried to kill me like the Keyblade. The Sediment and it's Keyblade both want to kill Xehanort and anything related strongly like me." He said as he gripped the arm. Light it just hurt and the Keyblade it was a bloody bitch to him most of the time. It liked to help sometimes but then it would rebel with a mind of it's own. One point it would deem him it's owner the next zip. It just couldn't make up it's mind.

{Ash}

Ash shrugged. She summoned Light and Darkness again, careful to keep the Light very, very low. She brought her hands together. The Light and Darkness seemed to battle each other briefly, but soon feel into a pattern as the two interwove with each other.

"Balance." She told Mystery. "Learn."

Mystery scoffed. "Sorry but that isn't in my gene's or data." He stated with a carefree attitude. " Light doesn't like me and I don't care for it myself. Believe me I've tried to but every time it rebels or ends me up unable to do anything for a while.Blame the old guys for that little trait that I got." He was good yet he couldn't use light. It made no sense in his head but hey it kept him from getting killed and or hunted down by Terra's Lingering Sediment. It actually amazed him that it was still in the Keyblade Graveyard but hey he got a fight out of the hold armor.
