(Although it was never specified in FF: Incarcerated, this RP takes place in NYC. For me, at least. I'll probably leave anyway.)

Callum turned off the TV and looked at his clock. It was 2:00 A.M. He couldn't sleep ever since he learned a powerful game villain was inside him. Vanitas. Ever since Vanitas possessed him (If he did, maybe he was in there since birth, so gained influence) Callum had been a jerk. He didn't have any friends now. I hate you, Vanitas! He heard a scoff. Really? Do you? Callum summoned his keyblade. "I won't let this take me over. Vanitas, you won't win." His void gear looked ominous. Too ominous.

"I...I will stay, no one deserves to be starved and brought here for no reason." Arina said.

 

Alex stood up and saw the X-blade. He noticed Callum holding Reilly down. He saw Troy run for the X-blade. 'Alex let me do something' Roxas held out his hand to open a dark corridor. "Troy run through with the X-blade, I can only hold it for so long".

Reilly was blown back by the huge force of the attack, smashing into the wall. Callum climbed the building, and grabbed his keyblade. He climbed back down, and looked at Keilani, and sighed. "Where did you first meet Troy?" Joy stood up. "So you took over again, huh, Callum?" Callum nodded. "Not without a price. I lost my heart, and I can't sense Troy's either. I don't...I don't understand it. I feel connected to Troy."

Troy nodded at Alex in appreciation and rushed through the portal. He then went to the street corner near The Today Show headquarters where he'd first met Keilani.

 

(OOC: I'm pretty sure I'll be back tomorrow, but not later on in the day. If ever I'm not on, you know what to do. I hope to make that more of a rare occasion, though.)

(I will definitely try to be on a lot more often, but I don't know for sure when that will be. Also, Number XV and I decided that Ventus and Vanitas would remain the same after the creation of the X-blades in our worlds, but that the two hosts would basically become Nobodies. Should make things interesting, though it is a little sad.)

 

(What do you mean, "a little sad??" That's absolutely heartbreaking!!! D':

BTW, super glad to see you back! http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png Haha I know how much it sucks not having Internet, and since that's the case, I'll stop complaining about how much I miss you and want you to come back in every other post I make in this RP during your absence. )

 

 

 

Rebekah closed her eyes as Felix did his back handsprings so that she wouldn’t get dizzy, and quite amazingly landed on her feet, staring at him in surprise. “I didn’t know you had gymnastic skills,” she said with shaky laugh. She also hadn’t expected to be picked up and flipped through the air six times.

 

She helped Felix attack Sumer, firing Prism Rain in his direction. As she did, she caught sight of Callum from the corner of her eye and became distracted. Aqua...

 

“Vanitas’s presence isn’t very strong. I guess Callum is keeping him at bay again...”

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Keilani’s eyes lit up when she saw Troy. She was so relieved to see that he was safe. “You got it!” she called when he gave his instructions.

 

While Keilani was blissfully unaware that anything had changed about him, Naminé knew that something was wrong. Very wrong. But she didn’t want to tell Keilani just yet, not in the midst of a battle. The last thing she needed was to be distracted and get them both killed.

 

Keilani stepped back in shock when Callum came up to her, but Joy didn’t appear to see Callum as a threat, so she relaxed. “I met Troy in front of the Today Show building...in New York. I can easily get us there with a Corridor of Darkness though, since I know right where it is.” She then looked at Callum blankly, trying to make sense of his words about Troy.

 

Naminé flinched inwardly, wishing there was a less painful way to break the news to Keilani. It seemed like giving bad news was all she ever did. Keilani...Troy may not...be quite the same as he was before...

 

Keilani still wasn’t processing this. “What do you mean?” she asked, her question directed mostly at Callum, but at Naminé as well.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Mariah stepped up next to Joy, also trying to understand what Callum meant. The emotionless look on Callum’s face was eerie, and she knew that something bad had taken place. What had happened to him and Troy?

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Alexis nodded. “Scott is our friend...Ethan and I can’t just leave him in this horrible place,” she said quietly, hoping to soften James’s resolve. “Why don’t you trust my friend?” She looked sadly into James’s eyes as she asked this question.

"I thought you didn't trust him either Lexi." James said. "At least, that was the vibe I was getting from you everytime he was with us. But if you think we should help, then I'll stand by you."

Ansem emitted another maniacal laugh when he saw the bus blow up. Explosions made him happy. He felt a thud as the Prism Rain collided with his armor. He stepped back with another Prism Rain, this one made of dark energy, aimed at it's original unleasher. "Been a while since anyone put up a fair fight! Sora cheated, and Riku beat me with my help. This! his is a fight!" He marveled, continuing to walk forward, propelling Dark Firaga's anywhere he pleased, setting a few civilians on fire, and not caring a bit.

 

Elie stepped back upon seeing Callum's return. It was dramatic. He now had less emotion than she thought was even possible. What was that about Troy? Had he done something that ended effecting them both? She felt her blood run cold. With no emotion, came no mercy. He would kill all of them with no regrets. That was not happening. Not under her watch. 'Aerith, I'm going to need your help with this.'

'On it!'

'Unleash the most powerful spells you have on this guy. You can do that right?'

'Not without taking over, and even then, the consequences might be sort of great.'

'If that what it takes.' Elie let Aerith take over. Aerith spun her staff and unleashed Thundaga, and Firaga, hoping with all her power that they would do something to this now merciless being. He was too dangerous to let live.

 

 

(I'm going to let Tudi stay unconcious for now. She is still alive, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!)

Alex gasped as the portal closed, he flt really dizzy and exhausted. 'Alex, are you okay.' 'Never summoned one of those before, now i know why. Roxas if this keeps up you will need to take over for me.' 'That will be no problem at all.' Roxas started to take over Alex. "Alright now we are getting started here." He summoned an oblivion keyblade. "Time for you to vanish Ansem!" Roxas ran to Ansem swinging his keyblade right at Ansem's chest.

 

Arina nodded when James said he would stay. The question was...could they get out of here without getting trapped themselves/

Callum sighed, and swallowed. "We fought, and Vanitas made it so the X-blade was formed. We...lost both of our hearts in the process. Troy can no longer feel any love for you. He's a nobody. So am I. We have to destroy the X-blade so maybe our hearts can come back." Joy smiled. "Don't worry, we'll get your heart back. Troy's too."

Axel smirked and said," There's a lot Felix hasn't told you yet. He's probably waiting for the right time...some painful, some awesome...but mostly...lovey dovey nonsense that doesn't belong on the battlefield."

"Shut up Axel...before you lose your focus," Felix said as he reclaimed control of his body. "I was tired of being cooped up in there...it felt wrong..." Felix said quietly.

"My day...everyday..." Axel said with a huff.

 

Scott looked at them. "Thanks guys. Ok here's the big plan...I want you guys to go upstairs with me, in the main office there is a file room we must bring into public view. It includes some security dvd's, and a lot of info on the prisoners," he said standing up. He began walking towards the stairs, and motioned for them to follow. "Don't worry the cannibals tend to stay downstairs," he said darkly as he headed up.

(Xeveemon, sorry, but no. No attacking New York.)

Callum reached out for the X-blade, anyway, maybe he could destroy it. It disappeared, and he had no idea where it appeared. Probably where all the dark energy was. He felt nothing, but he could swear he felt Troy, in a strange way. Really strange. He stood up, still hurt from the blast, and opened a dark corridor, stumbling to the apartment building. He heard clashing near by, and looked down to see Reilly dodge Mariah's kick. Reilly appeared behind Joy, ready to attack. Callum charged, and broke out of the window. He summoned the Void Gear, which was now the monochrome white version. (Oooooooooooooooh, yeah. Vanitas Remnant style. ) He smashed Reilly to the ground. He looked down the alley, where the X-blade was stuck in the ground.

 

(Fine, but at least let me attack somewhere where everyone is not. How about California? I dont see that anyone is there.)

(OOC: Actually..Ethan, Scott, James, Alexis, and Arina are in Los Angeles.)

(OOC: Actually..Ethan, Scott, James, Alexis, and Arina are in Los Angeles.)

 

(Well, Victoria's HQ is not in LA, so maybe I could just attack the town with Victoria's HQ and then not attack LA. But by the end of this RP, I want you guys to let me attack New York)

(Well, Victoria's HQ is not in LA, so maybe I could just attack the town with Victoria's HQ and then not attack LA. But by the end of this RP, I want you guys to let me attack New York)

 

(The end is a good time, but you're gonna wait a while. The X-blade being formed, all that, was pretty much just the prologue. When I'm ready for a 'save the world' thing, I'll message ya.)

(Dude...this is going to be an amazingly long RP! I'm excited!!!!)

(Well, I to tell the truth, I want a battle between Victoria and Avan soon, like before July, cause that is the opening prologue battle with Victoria/Avan's story. I want a way to kill off Avan, and bring him back in when it is time to take the world by storm. As I said at the beginning of this RP, and you agreed to it, I want Avan to be one of the main villians in this thing. I have never been active in a RP like this before, and so I would like to be able to be destroyed in it as well.

 

But is that a yes on attacking somewhere not New York?)

Ethan nodded and said "Lead the way."

 

Wakka took Tyler over to get him away from Tudi and back to the battle. He then used a lot of energy to infuse the ball with Thunder energy before throwing it as hard as he could towards Sumer. As hard as Tyler tried to get back in control, he wasn't focused enough to force it.

(The X-blade being formed, all that, was pretty much just the prologue.)

 

(This is just the prologue?? Ooohh, I like that. http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/happy.png)

 

 

Keilani stepped back a little as if she had been hit. Troy had been turned into a Nobody? He could no longer feel anything for her? She lowered her head and closed her eyes. Even more saddening to her was the fact that he couldn’t feel anything at all. What must that be like? To her, and sounded like one of the worst fates anyone could suffer, and she hated that Troy had to be the one to go through that. And poor Callum, too... She was on the verge of tears.

 

It was Joy’s words that brought her out of the gloom. Of course. All they had to do was destroy the χ-blade, and everything would be fine. Hopefully. Whatever the case, there was no use in getting all depressed about this right now. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes again, then smiled. Her smile and optimistic tone weren’t a bit forced when she said, “Joy’s right. We can fix this. You and Troy will be back to normal in no time.” She wasn’t even thinking when she said the word “normal,” especially in regards to Callum, who was in a constant struggle against Vanitas.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Mariah looked over just in time to see Elie trying to attack Callum from behind. She jumped high into the air and flipped over Callum’s head so that she landed between him and Elie, then summoned spheres of energy to collide with Elie’s attacks and hopefully nullify them. “What are you doing?!” she cried. “He’s fine right now--don’t attack him!” Her voice was more shocked and urgent than angry.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Rebekah’s attention turned back to Felix, and she smiled at him. She wondered what other painful things he had to tell her, and it made her wonder whether she would ever tell him about the painful things in her past. Probably not--his stories sounded dramatically more tragic than hers. If she told him hers and--heaven forbid--showed how sad the memories made her, it would be like complaining to a starving person how she couldn’t find the right brand of cereal at the store: not cool.

 

In her moment of distraction, she noticed too late that one of Sumer’s attacks, Dark Firaga, was coming straight at her. She frantically shot Blizzaga to counter it, but missed, and it hit her in the chest with a great force that flattened her to the ground. It sent a sensation through her that was both agonizingly hot like real fire, and freezing cold, making it difficult for her to breathe. The dark fire soon extinguished on its own, but it left her shaky and gasping for air. She got up again, quickly and unsteadily, and attacked Sumer with Thundaga Shot.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Alexis gave James a shocked look. She found it both annoying and interesting how James had gotten vibes from her that she didn’t trust Scott. Normally she was good at hiding that sort of thing, just like she was able to expertly hide the fact that all she felt for James was contempt, and that he was just their pawn.

 

She smiled at James and said, “Thanks. That means a lot to me.” Then she looked at Scott. “Good, I’ll be glad to get to higher ground. But...how will the guards let you up there if you’re a prisoner?” she asked as she followed him.

James followed them and said "If they don't let us go, I'll rough them up a bit." He cracked his knuckles and stretched his arms. It'd been a while since he last fought someone, so he was itching for a fight.

 

"That's right!" Seichi said. "If Sora was able to become whole again, you can too!" That's right! Sora said.

(It's gonna be hard controlling a heartless person. Also, can Troy and Callum have some unseen link now? )

Callum looked just as Mariah attacked. He could no longer fell shock, or anger. All he felt was...nothing somehow. Nothing. Like there was a void were his heart was. He appeared down the alleyway. "Time to get moving. I'm gonna follow Troy." He appeared at The Today Show, next to Troy. "So where did you hide it?"

Arina was slightly nervous, but if she had to she would fight if it came to that. "I hope it wont come to fighting, but i will fight."

 

Alex ran up to Sumer slightly dragging his keyblade from being tired and exhausted. He went up and slashed his keyblade at Sumer.

Avan had awaken from the though of destoring New York to find himself really in a simple meadow somewhere in Tennessee. "Damn, something went wrong." Avan heard a sound and looked over to see a horse coming his way. The horse was snow white with long hair. The horse went over to Avan, which then Avan hugged it. "Snow, its been a while. How have you been boy?" Avan asked the horse. The horse nodded its head up and down in exictment. "Its been a long time, cousin." a guy walked towards Avan. "Tyler, it surely has been. How have you been?" Avan asked him. "Oh same old same old, a little bit country." Tyler said. "A little? I say alot." Avan laughed. Tyler then made a serious face, "I've seen what you have been up to." Tyler said. "You know about my plan?" Avan asked. "Yes, and I have to say I am shocked. I mean send a missle to our fair lady, sent heartless out on the world, destory Disney's happiness, that doesnt seem like the Avan I know." Tyler said. "Whos to say that I am even that same Avan? Whos to say I havent changed?" Avan asked. Tyler put his hands on his hips. "Is that it, or is it something else? I remember that you had that girl, whats her name again?" Tyler asked. "DONT YOU BRING THAT UP!!!!!!!!!!!" Avan yelled at Tyler. "Oh, so it is about the girl. Let me guess, you want revenge on the one who killed her?" Tyler asked. "I SAID DROP IT!!!!!!!" Avan said. He was scaring the horse to death. Avan looked at the horse and realized that he was losing control. "I'm sorry, cousin. I guess since I lost her, my heart has turned black and I have no control on my darkness. I am a monster." Avan said. "You are no monster, you are my cousin. You just miss your light, and so you turn into a darkness, but you are no monster, just confused." Tyler told him. Avan looked up at the sky, "I dont know, but I do know one thing, you are defantily in dept of $100 for your bet." Avan said. "Oh yeah, the bet of you ever getting to be on the world news." Tyler said. They both laughed.

Felix landed flat on his back after the last attack. He immediatly stood up and shook it off. He was shocked that he'd been hit...it had to have been because he was distracted. He should've been paying attention to the fight and not the thought of the date he'd have after it. He then bolted towards Sumer, full speed, and spun his chakrams in his hands.

 

 

Scott smiled and said, "That won't be necessary...the guards are all outside. The only reason we can't leave is because of that one fact. They have the guns, and we are cornered. This place is a madhouse, and I've been told that it's been like this for two years." He started walking up the stairs quickly."

'Scott...why aren't you letting me read your thoughts? Why am I blocked out?' Marluxia thought.

'Don't worry about it. soon you won't even have to worry about what I'm thinking,' Scott thought back.

“Alright, let’s get this over with. I want us all to be out of here as quickly as possible,” Alexis said.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

Keilani stared after Callum as he left. She wanted to follow him, but everybody here still had Sumer to deal with--he would probably just go after them if they tried to leave mid-battle. “Okay, guys, let’s take that armored freak down and end this χ-blade thing!”

"I agree with you Keilani, how about we attack together?"

 

Arina had to agree with Alexis. 'I dont really like this place that much." She said in a soft voice.

"I agree." James said. "The sooner we get it done, the sooner we can get out of here."
