[◄◄REWIND◄◄]

 
 

500 years has past since Sora's final battle against Xehront. The worlds are now at peace. Sometime during the 500 year peace it was agreed upon that the worlds would be in-charge of two well known leaders: Alpha, and Omega. Everything went well. However one night the two of them were both mysteriously massacred each in their own domain. The worlds under Alpha's rule decided that they would pass what would be known as the "Purge Act" as in reaction to Alpha's murder. It's orders were simple: The Keyblade Wielding race was to be eliminated in every world,as they blamed a keyblade wielder for Alpha's murder. World armies were formed. They hunted the Keyblade Wielders down by the dozens,but the Keyblade Wielders formed a army of themselves to counter the Act in the name of Omega,who insists that his murderer belonged within Alpha's rule. A civil war erupted. Light vs light,brothers vs brothers,Keyblade Wielders vs non-keyblade wielders. Now, After 5 years of the war, there is only fighting in the worlds. No peace. No sight of an end. Both sides are relentless. Worlds had become battlegrounds and prizes to be won. Only the dead have seen the end of this war as darkest of shadows crawl beneath the blood stained streets. Alpha and Omega lived to form universal peace between their worlds,now their deaths were tearing them apart. Only one question remains: 

Which side will you choose?

 

 

-*-*-*-

The worlds were lead by two leaders: Alpha and Omega. One night they were both murdered at their own domains. The worlds under Alpha's reign claimed a keyblade wielder murdered Alpha,and decided to try to eliminate the Keyblade wielding race. The keyblade wielders fought back,claiming that Omega was murdered by someone from Alpha's side. So a civil war erupts with no end until one side wins,or neither.

~THINGS TO KNOW~

 

-Keyblade Wielders Union-

●Original Leader: Omega (Female)

 

●Current Leader: Ravio

 

 

●Sided worlds: (The worlds that they own/are on their side)

~Land of Departure: Still in function,currently handled by Keyblade Masters. Even though the world has declared itself "Neutral",the KWU uses it as a hospital for its most injured soldiers because of the Keyblade Master's knowledge in healing spells. From missing limbs to emotionally broken soldiers,only the worst of the worst end up here to rest,recover,and go back into the fight. For the sake of the Keyblade wielders,who many are barely children ranging from the ages of 16 to 21,the Keyblade Masters do their part in healing and helping them. 

 

~Disney Castle: This world is the most heavily protected of the KWU considering it is where the leaders of war live,plan their attacks and lead their armies. Currently residing here besides the KWU war leaders and soldiers are the Omega's children: Princess Yuri and Prince Ravio,forced into their positions after Omega's death. 

 

~Disney Town: A battle-scared city currently used as a military town. Here they train soldiers and wounded soldiers can live here with their families while they are in recovery. 

 

~Halloween Town: Active place for "vacations" within the troops. Rather independent,rarely sees war strangely enough. 

 

●Weaponry: Purely keyblades besides their gummi ships. 

 

-Worlds Powers Alliance-

●Original leader: Alpha (Male)

 

●Current Leader:  Talon

 

●Sided worlds: (The worlds that they own/are on their side)

~Twilight Town: Most important world to the WPA,as is where their leader Alpha resided and died,and the most heavily defended. The WPA is more active in this world than the rest. The old mansion in the forest is used as the HQ. The basement is used as the prison area. The flower pods are the prison "cells" as there is no lock for the keyblade wielders to open them with. The Clock Tower still stands and it along with its plaza is used as an execution plaza. The most common execution for prisoners of war (keyblade wielders or traitors) is hanging from the very top of the clock tower. 

 

~Atlantica: Not a very active world for wars at all,but the WPA has taken the advantage and built a giant underwater base within Atlantica where King Triton's castle once stood. Only way to get there is by Gummi ships/submarines. (Unless you're a keyblade wielder,who just transforms into half-sea creature) It is currently used as an HQ and a scientist lab,where they do human experimentation on war prisoners (Keyblade wielders and traitors) and after they're done they send the mutilated body to the KWU to recover it. 

 

~Port Royal: Dare I say party town. Yet very frequent war-zone. If you want to relax and get drunk,this is the place to be. 

 

~Christmas Town: Even though it is connected to Halloween Town by a portal,it rarely sees war. 

 

●Weaponry: They all use a varied range of weapons from knives to guns. Absolutely no keyblades.

 

-No Man's Land-

(Worlds with no owners as they are used as battlefields and/or the groups are currently fighting over it)

~Deep Jungle: To savage and extensive to keep under control. Used from time to time as a battle ground. 

~Keyblade Graveyard: Desolated world. Mostly used as a battle ground. The KWU does tend to leave the keyblades of fallen soldiers on here along with the ones already there from the keyblade war,only increasing the number of keyblade graves. Unknown activity tends to happen here. 

~Hollow Bastion: A mirror world of "Radient Garden" created by an unrecorded event this world is desolated. High activity for bloody battles is recorded here. It has witnessed the most number of deaths after a nuke was dropped here,killing thousands from both sides. The castle was mysteriously rebuilt (some say by heartless!),and it still stands today. 

~Pride Land: To wild to keep under control. Suspicious and unknown activity occurs here often. 

~The World That Never Was: Uninhabited according to records. But rumors say that they've seen people in the form of shadows or figures in the castle when going out on recon. 

~Castle Oblivion: Mirrored world of "Land of Departure". It's labyrinth design makes it impossible for use so it is currently abandoned. Or so they say. 

 

All other worlds' statuses are unknown.

Yuri knelt down to the unconceous stil WPA soldier and poured the bitter tasting drink down his mouth. It was bitter,but it would heal. As soon as he had drank it all the WPA soldiers got her away and returned to point their weapons at her. Yuri sighed quietly to herself. 

 

"(Well I guess I will just have to go along,otherwise I'm going to be kind of screwed.)"Yuri thought as she rubbed the back of her head. Suddenly she looked up,seeing a man,obviously of power,walking up to her. Now it seemed that this guy wanted to take her to another location. "(Are they serious?! They're treating me like luggage!)"Yuri thought for a moment as she gulped and slightly glared from under her goggles. "(I can't fight back,it'd be me against the entire WPA army. I could try to escape later on,but...how when they have keyblade-proof cells.)"Yuri thought as she glanced up at them,staring at Talon before she felt chills go up her back. "(This guy...who is he?)"Yuri thought. Her fate,life or death,enprisoment or freedom,relied on these WPA soldiers. Now she felt what prisoners at war felt. And it didn't felt good. 

 

...

 

Vashle carefully turned as he got his hands behind his back. 

 

"Whoa,didn't see ya in here. You're good at hiding."Vashle said with a smile as he pushed the flashdrive into the computer. He then rose his hands infront of him. "Look I really don't want to fight,I'm not a killer. I'm just a pawn in this game of chess ya know. All I want to do is do my job and return home where I can assure my mom that her youngest son is still living for another day."Vashle says as he started to step around,not taking his gaze from the girl. "However,if you wish for a fight,I can give you one."Vashle said as he summoned his keyblade. "I won't go easy though."

Talon looked at Yuri. He felt like he has seen her before, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Soon, the ship arrived. They all started to board the ship. Talon made sure to walk in last so there wouldn't be anything go wrong. He stared at the girl as he placed his hand on her'' I hope you know, I am Talon. I am the leader of the WPA. Nice to meet you.'' Talon said with a wicked smile as Darius walked onto the ship.'' Glad you can join us Darius.'' Talon said as he sat across from Yuri as everyone else boarded the ship as it started taking off. The North side of Hollow Bastion was falling into WPA's hands.'' Now, lets get to the west side as soon as possible. I have a message I want to send to Ravio. I shall send him a message that we have a KWU soldier and it might be one he knows.'' Talon said as the ship flew to the west side.

 

-flashback-

Talon soon awoke in the cave again, but this time tied to rocks. He couldn't help to know what is happening. He saw Yao Fei. He felt betrayed'' Why did you knock me out?!'' Talon yelled out as Yao Fei looked at him.'' It's because what you saw is what Edward Fyers is looking for. I must stop him from claiming the 'Miracle'.'' Yao Fei explained as he freed Talon.'' And your going to help me kill him before he finds it.'' Yao Fei said as he handed Talon a wooden sword.'' But first we must train you in the ways of killing.'' Yao Fei said as he looked back at the plane and back at Talon. Talon held the sword. Whatever what the Miracle was. It was bad.

A bit annoyed, Riley followed quietly. Sitting next to Yuri, she crossed her arms and legs, looking out of it. She was pretty calm...

"Colonel, Priority One transmission. It's from Aurora himself."

Riley was up and walking. Disappearing into the cockpit, she put on the headset. Aurora's hologram snapped on.

"Colonel. Two hours ago, Commander Seris Aether was due to be...retired. instead, she killed our operative and fled the scene."

"Is she still on-planet?"

"No. The Aether name runs deep. Very deep. She managed to steal the Sarah Aether. "

"One ship is nothing."

"She also stole the entire third fleet. We also have discontent sowed in the Seventh and Eighth. We can't put it down, unfortunately. That is political suicide far beyond the feces we already must wade."

"Why tell me."

"Seris accessed a file remotely, using the hacking suite of all fifty two ships in the Third Fleet, networked in and using every access code."

"Smart bitch."

"Too smart. She accessed a file labeled ARCTURUS first. She then accessed the Cobalion Archives." Aurora paused. "She is heading your way, Riley. Arcturus was deleted but we pieced together three words. Tremble Before Dawn."

Riley's hand fell. "Impossible."

"So you know tge stories. Aether didn't win the Four Horsemen Conflict alone. Nor was she a Horseman. The Four Horsemen are not dead." Aurora lookee grave. "Colonel. Stop Seris from finding the Horsemen. Stop her at all costs."

"Sir. Wouldn't the Horsemen help us?"

"No. Fury and Death were Keyblade Wielders. Seris is a traitor and defector to the KWU and cannot awaken Fury and Death. War and Famine are not in the file. They must have died."

Riley counted her fingers. "What other ship defected to the Third?"

"... the Truth Is Out There ."

Riley cut the comm line, said a dozen swear words, then stepped back to the troop compartment. Sitting beside Yuri, she looked pissed.

Riley had pushed center, mowing down anyone and anything that got in her way. When the crash happened, reports of it filtered through her earpiece. Riley's bloodlust mostly sated, her insanity subsided."Artemis Wing to me. Clear a path to down ship. Any aircraft near downed allies, secure the area. I'm moving in.""This is Colonel Riley Erika of the ADI. Sitrep on downed aircraft? I'll be arriving in one minute with close air support." Riley took cover, and clicked the minigun. One minute later, she managed to arrive. Seeing a girl attempting to extract the pilot, she put her rocket launcher away. Running over, she gripped the unconcious man and started ron help. Then she noticed...the person next to her was KWU."Who's unit does this aircraft belong to?" Riley barked into her comm. "Artemis wing, vector medievac gunship to me. Continue combat air patrol." Riley checked Silber's pulse. "it's there..." she muttered. "You. Have any medical supplies on you?" She said to the KWU...girl that had helped.

 

Yuri was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts,her glance landing on the WPA soldier that had helped with the unconcious boy. "Er,I think so."Yuri said as she carefully removed her backpack from her back and searched inside. It was uncomfortable as the WPA soldiers followed her every movement to say the least. She took out a big glass of green gooy liquid,to which she offered it to the soldier. "Here."Yuri said. She might as well comply,until she was able to find a way out of this situation. 

 

"Apply it or feed it to him." Riley told her. She looked at the troops dropped off by Artemis. "I need a perimeter. Vector the evac ship in ASAP."Salutes all around, they mostly dispersed. Riley sat down, back to some wreckage. She impossibly was clean, her tattoos and light blue hair as clean as after a hot shower."I should kill you to spare the agony of the tower, but for saving one of ours...hell. I'm insane, not heartless." She muttered. "Artemis Wing, ETA on the evac ship?""Two minutes. We had to call in a frigate to punch through the Keyblade Glider screen but it will make it.""Good. Inform them I got a POW.""Yes ma'am."

Yuri knelt down to the unconceous stil WPA soldier and poured the bitter tasting drink down his mouth. It was bitter,but it would heal. As soon as he had drank it all the WPA soldiers got her away and returned to point their weapons at her. Yuri sighed quietly to herself. 

Amidst the endless black, Silber's vision flashed with fragments of memories as his condition stabilized. Echoes of Aurora, Winter, and Articus' voice pierced the eerie silence as the drop ships ordered in by Riley approached.

 

Meanwhile, in the skies above, Aurora and Winter were watching intently as the situation unfolded below. Winter heard three consecutive beeps in her headset, and immediately switched her radio channels from one-to-one with Aurora to the general battle network. "Who's unit does this aircraft belong to?" They heard a girl ask.

 

"This is Aurora Two-Four" Winter heard her reply back to Riley, "That aircraft is with Polaris Team, WPA. We're right above you with air support until someone can evac him." They watched intently through their cannon sights as a person who was supposed to be their enemy help out on recovering their downed squad leader. Please, don't do anything to hurt him... Please... As soon as the other soldiers arrived and 'secured' the only KWU personnel on the scene, both Aurora and Winter brought their ships in closer to take a good look. Still hovering nearby, both girls could barely make out the details of Riley and Yuri as the evac ship ordered by RIley arrived. All they could do now was make room for the dropships and follow Silber as he was taken away. "Don't hurt the KWU girl" Winter whispered into the radio, hoping Riley would hear it, "She saved one of our own, it's only fair."

Yuri was made to sit between Riley and another WPA soldier as Talon sat across them. Nedless to say that Yuri was beyond uncomfortable. She could of laughed at Talon's 'threat' of calling Ravio. Ravio would never answer to a single man in the battlefield. A disposable soldier was disposable,Ravio wasn't going to cry over a disposable soldier when they could easily be replaced with another one. She could of laughed,mocked him,tell him that if he really thought that he could get a hold of Ravio directly so easily,but she decided to keep her mouth shut for her own good considering it would be a one vs an entire fleet,and she wasn't in the mood of losing a limb or two. By the time Riley came back it seemed she wasn't in the best of moods. Yuri sat awkwardly as she rested back and glanced around the ship. She turned to Riley and then back down,then back at her. If she was going to be in a hostage situation she might as well make it friendly for one thing or another. 

 

"Um,so..."Yuri said,trying to start a conversation. "...what exactly is going to happen to me?" Ok,maybe not the best of conversations,but a conversation no less. 

"I'd lock you up and leave you alone. You saved the life of one of ours, I respect that. But Talon is the boss. Which..."

Riley looked at Talon. "Sir. She did save one of our own. It's a fair trade." She paused. "It is my formal recommendation as the ADI representative here at Hollow B-"

 

The entire ship shook. Riley stood. "Status!"

"Ma'am, it passed over us! The -"

Riley ran into the cockpit. "Dammit. We can't take on a friggin assault carrier. Where is it heading?"

"A massive crater in the west. It's at the edge of the current battlefield but it appears that we have neglected to send forces to that area at the present time."

"Do not let her open Etro's Path!" Riley shouted. "Divert all aircraft and intercept! Do not let Seris Aether bring Fury and Death to life!"

 

Seris looked up at the frigate. It was the last Yggdrasil to be created. The original long destroyed, the second decomissioned, the third was finally built.

Inside, was the Dawn Key.

 

The object that would open Etro's Path, the Dawn Key was installed and ready.

Selecting her best men, women, and children, Seris took the helm.

"This is Yggdrasil's Legacy. Launching now."

 

The Yggdrasil exited the Sarah Aether, and roared across the sky. "Four minutes to target. Sarah Aether...covering fire please."

Soon enough, gunfire covered the sky, covering the Yggdrasil's Legacy as it sped forward.

"Ma'am..."

"I have no clue what is going to happen. I'm winging it."

"A fight will end with your death. I could make this quicker." Neena said, still glaring at Vashle, stepping out of the shadows a bit more. She raised her bow, fully drawn, ready for the kill. First keyblader kill of the day, it would taste sweet. But first priority would be to get that drive from the computer. If this boy managed to escape from her grasp with the intel, Neena would never forgive herself. Not to mention she could never trust these keyblade wielders, scoundrels all of them. A fair fight would never go her way with the dirty tricks most of these soldiers played. So she'd just have to even the odds a bit. Neena powered her arrow with cold darkness, giving it the power to kill with only a glancing blow. In any case, she'd have to wait for her opponent to make the next move.

Talon noticed everything happening. He rested back.'' pilot, I need you to get us to the east as fast as possible.'' Talon said as he closed his eyes as the ship started going faster.'' I understand she has saved one of our own but she is an enemy. She will be sent to prison in Twilight Town and then executed for the world to see.'' Talon said as he spoke softy as Darius stared at Talon. The ship manage to get to the east side pretty soon. Everyone was exactly what they did when Talon left. Talon got out as the troops soon surrounded Yuri.'' Take her to the prison and inject her with the Miracle, it's time to see what it does to Keyblade wielders.'' Talon said as he walked away as Darius followed.'' You really sure about this Talon? She could die.'' Darius said Talon looked back.'' I am sure. It's all for the cause.''

Riley frowned. "So. This isn't a war, it's attempted genocide. Glad to know I was lied to when I was sent here." She said sourly.

Looking away, Riley wondered if her insanity was best suited...for what she really wanted.

 

Of course, as she trooped off, staying next to Yuri and leading her to the brig with the rest of the troops, a huge beam of light blasted into the sky. Most of the ADI troops looked, leaving the rest of the WPA to either stare or panic. Then ADI ran around frantically, loading ships and trucks and tanks.

Of course, what came next...cause Riley to swear her insanity was gone.

 

From the light came a ship. A massive ship that came from the ground. Across the side was emblazed a name.

Forward Unto Dawn.

Riley fell to her knees next to Yuri. She was in shock. "That's...that's impossible. It...it was destroyed during the Conflict. It can't...this isn't happening." She just looked up as the massive warship that dwarfed even the Sarah Aether exited Etro's Path.

Riley finally struggled to stand, using Yuri as assistance - after, of course, slipping the key into her pocket as she grabbed the girl's belt, using Yuri as a ladder. "DAKKA! TAKE HER TO THE PRISON! GET ME A GUNSHIP!"

She ran through the crowd, leaping into a gunship. "Status!" She cried, leaving Talon to his own devices.

 

Onboard the Forward Unto Dawn

 

Zion looked down. Death. Destruction.

"This...this can't be Radiant Garden...where is the town? Wh...where are all our friends."

Xion took her wife's hand. "Gone. But it's about time we changed all that misery Lightning showed us."

As the Dawn evened out, the bridge came to view with...

"Looks just like the original." Zion waved her hand. "Eya, Yggdrasil! That the original?"

Before them came Seris' hologram. "No. This is the Yggdrasil's Legacy and I am Seris Aether, the current Descendant of -"

"Sarah." Zion said. "I figured. You have her eyes."

Seris...actually blushed. "Um...the file was vague...so...who are you?"

Zion sighed. "Zion de Wynter. Former Admiral of the Avalon Defense Initiative - honorary mostly - and Keyblade Master."

Seris' eyes got wide. "Keyblade...?"

"Yes. Keyblade. Now, kindly tell me if Destiny Islands Aquatic Base is still in operation."

"It...was decommissioned."

"I'm recommissioning it." Zion watched as a about fifty fighter-bombers flew towards them. Zion waved her hand again. "head out. We'll cover your escape."

"...yes ma'am."

 

Zion stepped into the center, well, back stepped. The bridge came alive, readouts flying across the room.

"Xion, take ops."

"On it."

 

The two powered on the weapons. "Light Swarm tanks are not ready to fire. Main guns charging. Rest of our arsenal is locked and loaded."

"Targeting solution acquired. Wish the Light warm tanks were ready. Easier..."

"People will die. I'm sorry Zi."

 

The ship fired a wave of lasers, bringing a new meaning to...Laser Spam.

 

The ADI ships faltered and dodged, some getting hit and going down, about five exploding into pieces.

The Sarah Aether picked up the Yggdrasil's Legacy and headed skyward as the Forward Unto Dawn diverted attention.

 

"Just like old times."

"Yep. Let's blow this joint." Zion grinned. With a few quick hand swipes the ship began to move, guns blasting the area around them.

"Zion."

The golden-haired Keyblade Master looked at her wife. "Yeah, Xion?"

"I know it's hard. And probably...we might get killed this time."

"You died once." Zion pointed out.

"Not the point. Zion. I don't know if you could be brought back." Xion looked around. "Even Kelsi..."

 

Zion didn't say anything as the Forward Unto Dawn broke the atmosphere, meeting the Third Fleet.

"Looks like...the band is back together." 

Xion looked back. She knew Zion the best. And right now, she could feel Zion's pure heart of light torn apart.

Needless to say Yuri was flabbergasted by the sudden entrance of the ship. The sudden fear of what Talon had said.execution,syrum,it had all faded for mere seconds,to the point she didn't noticed the key being slipped into her pocket . Yuri couldn't take her eyes off the ship as she was taken away inside this building and they started to take her down the stairs to the underground facilities. As the sunlight was blocked by the steel door Yuri returned to reality,and in truth,began to panic. She started to move around wildly as she shook from side to side,waving her feet,kicking at the men who held her.

 

"Let me go,let me go,I demand for you to let me go!"Yuri hissed as she waved her feet and moved around. The men seemed to sigh as they picked her up by her stiff arms and rather carried her down the metal stairs/ The 5 foot girl had no chance against these fit fighters,atleast at the moment. She could see the blood stained cells and hallways as they passed by the enfirmary and brigs. "We have orders for syrum to record any reactions. Afterwards she is to be taken to a cell for further orders."One of them said as he looked straight,his voice nor gaze ever wavering as they opened the door. It lead to a small lab where this strange color liquid was kept in big jars,and in the middle was a metal gurney. 

 

"Oh hell no."Yuri muttered as the men pulled her inside. Yuri did not go down without one hell of a fight. She managed to kick atleast two of them in the knees before they managed to slam her down against the metal gurney. They had a harder time uncuffing her and quickly pushing her limbs down for the gurney's chains to activate and wrap around her arms and legs,wrists and ankles. Surprisingly her hat and goggles remained intact on her while all this struggle took place. Even while strapped down she was relentless as two men held her right arm still for the injection. 

 

"H-hey,what is this syrum thingy anyways?!"Yuri asked as she watched one of them clean the area where the injection would take place. "Is it going to hurt?!"

 

...

 

Vashle seemed to smirk slightly,only to glance to the side with slight sadness. 

 

"It's been a while since I've had to fight against one of you guys. Really though,if I could avoid it it'd make my day."Vashle said as darkness covered his blade and his shadows started to spread beyond their normal capability. "However,since you seem so insistent,I guess we can make a bet. If I win,I get to continue my job,if I lose,you get to kill me. But I must warn you."Vashle said as he raised his keyblade into the air. "I never lose."Vashle said. With that he slammed his keyblade against the ground. The shadows rose like pieces of glass traveling in a room without any gravity. He spun his keyblade and pointed it at the soldier,as the shards of darkness proceeded to launch themselves at the soldier,aiming to kill. That's when Vashle ran right behind them,aiming for the neck,trying to slice the enemy. 

Talon was getting a needle ready as he filled it up with the 'Miracle'.'' This serum is meant to create super soldiers. It works on normal soldiers. Let us see how it works on a Keyblade Wielder.'' Talon said as he got the needle ready'' Don't worry, all you'll feel is unbearable pain, then you should feel like a normal person.'' Talon said as he got ready to inject it in her neck.

 

-flashback-

Talon and Yao Fei had spent the last few days training. Talon wasn't getting any better. He rushed towards Yao Fei with his wooden sword as he was soon on the ground once again.'' What the hell? What is the point in this? If you hadn't noticed, these guys carry guns. What am I suppose to do when they jam a gun in my face? Hit them with my stick?'' Talon asked as Yao Fei handed Talon a gun'' Jam this in my face.'' Yao ordered as Talon pointed it in his face as Yao quickly took him down and managed to get the gun in his hand. Talon stood up as he kept staring at the ship'' I'm wondering, how long have you been here?'' Talon asked as they sat in the cave.'' I've been here for 10 years. Protecting the Miracle was my bosses last orders. You see, during the last great war, when the WPA and CAP were at war, the WPA created this serum called the Miracle. It could create the prefect soldier. It could heal wounds, grant power, and much more.'' Yao explained.'' My ship, was carrying the only shipment until we were taken down by the CAP. I was the only one who lived. Now Fyers wants the serum to do something gods only knows.'' Yao said as he looked at Talon.'' Anymore questions?'' Yao asked. Talon looked up.'' What would happen if I took it?'' Talon asked.

 

Talon got the needle ready to inject.'' Get ready Keyblader, for you shall feel the WPA's greatest work first hand.'' Talon soon injected as he stepped back. Everything seemed normal as Yuri just laid there until she started trashing around as the serum was taking effect. Talon watched as she screamed in pain and as blood rolled out from her eyes. The Miracle was taking effect, but will it kill her or make her stronger?

Yuri had never felt pain like this,not even partially similar,to this extent before. It felt like she had just been injected with toxic acid into her body system and now it was eating her inside out,dissolving every tissue and organ while she was concious to feel it all. Her eyes teared up blood to the point where her goggles filled up with the blood,only being able to spread across her face as she moved around wildly struggling against the pain. The blood poured down her cheeks as red as her eyes and her hair,which were covered from sight with the hat and goggles.

 

"Gah..."Yuri couldn't even properly protest because of the pain constricting her vocals and way of thinking. Even her sight was hazy red as she couldn't see anything but red of her own blood. "I...it hurts...!"She hissed,stating the obvious to the team of WPA members staring down at her with the coldest of eyes. "(Is this what happens to those who get trapped in war...?)"Yuri questioned in her mind as she felt every nerve of her body burn and every limb twitch,causing unwanted bruises and scrapes against the metallic surface. "(Is this why the war has gone so unresolved? Because of inhumane acts like this?! No,not everyone is like this...right?)"She thought as she felt her heart palpitate and only go faster and faster. It went so fast it hurt,at the verge of just exploding where it stood at any given moment. Suddenly it was like lightning had been struck down against her. She let out an unbearable scream as her body arched upwards,every muscle in her body tensed as it made everyone around the table jump,not really expecting it. And just like that merely a few seconds later,Yuri's body dropped against the gurney,going completely limp and unresponsive. It was as if the puppeteer had cut the strings to its doll and now it just lay there useless. The machine that stood besides the men went into a never ending 'beeeeeeeeeeeee' sound. The men around the table sighed,rubbing their temples as they looked down at Yuri's lifeless body. Talon seemed the least surprised as he gave a signal with his hands and two men walked in with a body bag.

 

"Another one bites the dust."one of them muttered,apparently not surprised by the outcome. They unstrapped the legs,and made their way to the arms. And then she gasped,suddenly and loudly,looking for the missing air that was needed in her lungs. It took the men off guard,scaring them as they fell off their feet and on their butts. The machine returned to its normal 'beep,beep' sounds as Yuri looked around with wide,blood covered eyes,gasping for breath as her body shook from the sudden action. She felt no pain...no nothing. Yet it felt ever so strange. She could hear the conversations taking place down the hall,she could sense every atom that composed the table,she could see the aura of the people that stood infont of her. All of this slammed at her face her at once,it made her whimper and whine as the blood dried on her cheeks. She felt cold and dead,but she was alive...or the other side looked a whole lot like that lab room.

 

"(What...just happened...?)"was all she could think. The princess of the keyblade wielders had survived the syrum...now what?

Riley frowned. "So. This isn't a war, it's attempted genocide. Glad to know I was lied to when I was sent here." She said sourly.

Looking away, Riley wondered if her insanity was best suited...for what she really wanted.

 

Of course, as she trooped off, staying next to Yuri and leading her to the brig with the rest of the troops, a huge beam of light blasted into the sky. Most of the ADI troops looked, leaving the rest of the WPA to either stare or panic. Then ADI ran around frantically, loading ships and trucks and tanks.

Of course, what came next...cause Riley to swear her insanity was gone.

 

From the light came a ship. A massive ship that came from the ground. Across the side was emblazed a name.

Forward Unto Dawn.

Riley fell to her knees next to Yuri. She was in shock. "That's...that's impossible. It...it was destroyed during the Conflict. It can't...this isn't happening." She just looked up as the massive warship that dwarfed even the Sarah Aether exited Etro's Path.

Riley finally struggled to stand, using Yuri as assistance - after, of course, slipping the key into her pocket as she grabbed the girl's belt, using Yuri as a ladder. "DAKKA! TAKE HER TO THE PRISON! GET ME A GUNSHIP!"

She ran through the crowd, leaping into a gunship. "Status!" She cried, leaving Talon to his own devices.

 

Needless to say Yuri was flabbergasted by the sudden entrance of the ship. The sudden fear of what Talon had said.execution,syrum,it had all faded for mere seconds,to the point she didn't noticed the key being slipped into her pocket . Yuri couldn't take her eyes off the ship as she was taken away inside this building and they started to take her down the stairs to the underground facilities. As the sunlight was blocked by the steel door Yuri returned to reality,and in truth,began to panic. She started to move around wildly as she shook from side to side,waving her feet,kicking at the men who held her.

 

"Let me go,let me go,I demand for you to let me go!"Yuri hissed as she waved her feet and moved around. The men seemed to sigh as they picked her up by her stiff arms and rather carried her down the metal stairs/ The 5 foot girl had no chance against these fit fighters,atleast at the moment. She could see the blood stained cells and hallways as they passed by the enfirmary and brigs. 

 

"We have orders for syrum to record any reactions. Afterwards she is to be taken to a cell for further orders."One of them said as he looked straight,his voice nor gaze ever wavering as they opened the door. It lead to a small lab where this strange color liquid was kept in big jars,and in the middle was a metal gurney. 

 

"Oh hell no."Yuri muttered as the men pulled her inside. Yuri did not go down without one hell of a fight. She managed to kick atleast two of them in the knees before they managed to slam her down against the metal gurney. They had a harder time uncuffing her and quickly pushing her limbs down for the gurney's chains to activate and wrap around her arms and legs,wrists and ankles. Surprisingly her hat and goggles remained intact on her while all this struggle took place. Even while strapped down she was relentless as two men held her right arm still for the injection. 

 

"H-hey,what is this syrum thingy anyways?!"Yuri asked as she watched one of them clean the area where the injection would take place. "Is it going to hurt?!"

The sudden entrance of the Forward Unto Dawn rocked Winter and Aurora's gummi ships violently as they struggled to stabilize their vehicles and continue following the dropship. "W-what was that?" Winter asked over the radio. "I...I don't know!" Aurora replied back. As the dropship landed, they both looked down to Yuri and saw the girl being quickly shuffled into a building. "Uh oh. Looks like they're going to hasten their decision with the POW."

 

"She doesn't deserve this." Winter quietly replied back. "We have to do something." They promptly landed their ships and quickly made their way inside the building, weapons in their hands. They busted through the door, only to see Yuri strapped into a gurney and someone else playing with a syringe. "What are you doing?" Winter asked, tightening her grip around the arrow rifle in her hand. "She saved one of our own, it's not fair to do this. Can you just please let her go?" But it was too late as the injection was underway. Being surrounded by WPA soldiers didn't deter the two girls one bit as they both considered terminating the operation by shooting everyone in the room, but could only look in horror as Yuri went limp. 

 

"Another one bites the dust." Winter heard one soldier remark as they started their routine. That's when the girl awoke, startling everyone in the room. "Now Winter!" Aurora yelled, sending a hail of arrow-shots to everyone in the room with her sub-rifles. She immediately complied, effectively subduing the soldiers as the rounds hit them all in non-lethal spots. Aurora had emptied her clip as she tackled Talon to the ground, trying her best to restrain the man as Winter combined her sub-rifles to make a rifle, lowering it in Yuri's direction but held short on leveling her weapon towards the distressed KWU member. "She saved one of our own!" Aurora yelled at Talon, "Why didn't you let her go?!"

"Neither do I." Neena replied, throwing up a shield of darkness to catch the incoming shards. Neena was glad she had the reaction speed she did. Without it, she'd have been dead a thousand times over just in that last second and a half. Neena also had good aim, which helped her when she managed to shoot the arrow at the hilt of her opponent's blade, defecting it off course, ever so slightly, away from her neck. The assassin resisted the urge to kneel down in prayer on the spot, that was how lucky she had been to pull that one off. But she had to fight him first. Neena threw her bow onto her back, and pulled out her sword. She dashed into close quarters combat with a lunge towards Vashle's stomach, a palm of dark fire also going towards his chest at the same time. Neena could only hope the counterattack would be able to throw him off guard.

Riley sat in the cockpit of her fighter. She was looking at her lap.

She then typed a string of characters into her console.

"Priority Code: Tremble before Dawn."

 

Within moments, Seris Aether was looking at her.

"Seris. I am going to kick your rebellious ass horribly. But right now...I need your help."

"Why."

"Because a life debt was dismissed. Just thrown out."

"You're joking." Seris didn't sound surprised. "What the hell do you care. You just -"

"The world will burn. But I will be damned if honor is thrown out." She paused. "A war without honor is nothing more -"

"Then meaningless slaughter. A genocide done for no reason at all."

"She said that many times during her career." Riley stared the errant Aether down. "We're enemies. But even enemies...have some honor between them."

Seris flicked her hand out. "Location."

"WPA Prison. Here's the schematics and where...Miracle is."

"What?""Some serum."

 

Seris rolled her eyes. "Whatever. It's done." The comm cut, and Riley sat there, staring off into the sky.

War without honor.

Life for a life.

What the hell.

 

Zion tugged her shorts on. She never really had armor unless in Radiant Unleashed form. And as she stared at the schematics as Xion smoothed her shirt out. "Ok. Seris said this was a favor for an enemy because honor above war."

"At least we know some of our enemies are not mindless genocidal jerks."

"Or just murderers." Xion kissed Zion softly. "Don't take risks."

"I'm me." Zion smirked, and disappeared in a flash of light.

 

In the WPA Prison, down the hall from where Yuri now lay, Zion dropped on top of a guard, her double-ended Keyblade Forward unto Dawn raised and ready. Two came at her, but with practiced ease. Of course, she felt a bullet skin her neck.

"HEY! Only Xion can mark my neck!" She shot back, throwing her Keyblade. The man ducked, but uh...let's just say boomerang effect. The man fell, out cold, and Zion caught her blade. She advanced, a few more coming but swiftly dealt with.

Blasting the door down with Salvation (and some of the surrounding walls) Zion entered the room.

 

The now what Yuri was wondering was the unfurling of glowing wings and the unleashing of numerous bolts of light. Her signature ability was her favorite, even if it was not her most powerful. Each bolt was about as powerful as a Fira blast, but the real power was in the length of the attack. Which, in the end, was not that long. It was more so to keep them at bay as Zion spun and broke the restraints.

"Get your ass up!" She said, spinning to kick one of the men still attempting to stand. "I'm not exactly going to - screw it."

A hexagonal bubble shield encased Zion and Yuri. The former threw Yuri over her shoulder.

"Oh god you're heavy. Now, time to escape. Lovely. So, if you can stand, it would be nice. Really."

 

Zion was in a pretty pickle. But hey, she was good at getting out of pickles.

She looked at Talon. "You look like the evil bossman. or at least bossman's lackey. Sup?"

Talon simply laid there. He cleared his throat.'' It's funny. You really believe you can restrain me?'' Talon asked he simply push Winter off of him as Darius then charged up his whips and destroyed the shield incasing Yuri and Zion. Darius then whipped around Zion's ankle and made her fall as he caught Yuri. Talon drew his sword as Darius simply disappeared within the darkness.'' I'll give you traitors and this Keyblade Wielder one chance to escape before I kill all of you. That girl has became the first Keyblade Wielder to host the Miracle inside her. Do you really think I wasn't afraid of seeing the two girls who believe a Keyblade Wielder, one that saved a simple soldier that can be replace, be important? Now, I'll ask again. How about you back away before I show how five years on a hellish island can do to a man?'' Talon asked as his eyes grew red.

Yuri didn't even had time to react as the sudden chain of actions happened before her. She was in the arms of one person one second and in the arms of another in the next. Her body seemed to be in a shock-mode state as the world spun around her. Her eyes adjusting to her bloody vision as every single one of her senses seemed to sharpened times 100. With this it was beyond obvious that the scenery around her had changed completely. There wasn't a ruckus anymore,just silence as the only sound was the sound of footsteps against the floor. The scent of wildflowers seemed rather eminent along with a toxic scent of lilies. It made her nose wrinkle from the overwhelming feeling. She heard the sound of steam and moving machinery made her blink a couple of times and actually look at her surroundings. Before she could make out where the hell she was in the first place she felt as the WPA soldier set her on a flat surface. Soon the sound of steam and machinery sounded again as the light that covered her soon turned into a dim shade. After about 10 minutes of solitude,truly feeling that she was alone,Yuri removed her goggles ever so gently. She rubbed the blood off her eyes as they mixed with her naturally red eyes. She looked around,her vision adjusting to the darkness of the place. 

 

"Where am I?"She muttered,her voice shaky as she sat up and looked around. She touched the glass-like walls that surrounded her with her blood stained hands and left marks behind as she slid her fingers down one by one. She shivered as she looked down. She felt her neck,it felt numb,everything seemed almost unreal. Was she dreaming? She had to be. "I want to go home..."

 

...

 

Vashle was impressed that she managed to dodge death so easily. However he did not expect her to pull out the sword. He barely threw his stomach back,avoiding what could be a deadly slash onto him,however he wasn't so lucky with the flame,that hit him straight on the chest,sending him flying back and slamming against the console,falling down on the ground with a loud groan and sure to become bruises. He groaned in a comical matter as he rubbed the back of his neck. 

 

"Ow ow ow...that one's going to leave a mark!"Vashle said complaining as he rolled to his side slightly. As fit and as well built he was he wasn't one to fight for sport,so his pain tolerance was ever so low as he glanced up at his enemy. "I'm guessing you won't let me go softly after this,right?"Vashle asked as the scratched his cheek. The last thing we wanted to do was to hurt this child in any way. He knew these WPA soldiers were incredibly skilled,but just trying to knock them out was hard as it was. He jumped onto his feet,settling his keyblade to his side. He suddenly used Thundaga,sending beams of lightning across the room. He then used a gravity spell,jumping up against the roof and then launching himself at the assassin for a well aimed slam. 

{Anya}

Anya stood a moment outside Pennington's office, preparing herself for a briefing. What ever her mission was going to be, it wasn't going to be good. She reached an hand out and knocked on the door.

"Come!" A man's voice barked.

Wincing at the obviously angry tone, Anya opened the door and went inside.

"Anya Coil, reporting." She said, ripping off a salute.

"Close the door, Coil." Pennington ordered.

Anya complied and closed the door. When she turned back around, she noticed another man behind the red middle aged solder that Pennington was. This man was tall, thin and pale, with dark hair and glasses. Anya went a little pale as she also took in the distintictive stylized suit he wore.

"Coil, meet Reed Tradesh of the Decolor Ultor." Pennington introduced sourly.

"Pleased to meet you, miss Coil." Tradesh said with a nod.

Anya mentally swore. The Decolor Ultor were an elite group of assassins in the WPA who went after high value Keyblade targets, feared on both sides for their skill. This mission's outlook turned black.

Yuri tripping out, some idiot breaking her impressive Dawnguard Shield, and her currently on her ass, Zion was wondering what the hell happened in five hundred years.

Training kicked in at the speed of Javelin swooning over Kairi. Two Keyblades appeared behind Winter and Aurora, and shoved them to a central point. Zion pushed up into the air with her wings and kicked Talon in the face in classic dropkick style, before grabbing Yuri and powering into Winter and Aurora in a Flying Birdcage Tackle.

 

In a flash of light they disappeared, leaving the WPA alone in their poor prison.

 

 

Onboard the Forward Unto Dawn, Zion, Winter, Aurora, and Yuri dropped onto the floor of a spacious room. Zion landed under Yuri while Winter and aurora landed on either side of the heap. Zion groaned as she turned to look over her shoulder.

"Oi. Stop hallucinati -"

"Curaga."

 

Xion had been waiitng. Coming up behind Yuri, she used one of the most powerful healing spells there was without a second thought. She said Curaga again, pouring two full curagas into her. She then looked over Yuri's shoulder to look down at Zion.

"Nice aim. Didn't land on me this time."

"I know. I almost was disappointed. Then I realized you took a step back."

"yep." Xion helped Winter and Aurora up. "And these two?"

"They came to save Yuri. Had to bring them with."

"Right. So, I'm Xion, this is Zion. We're married. We saved your ass and appeared out of a magic portal. Now tell me, what have you people been doing to my tower in Twilight Town?"

 

Zion let Xion talk to Winter and Aurora as she picked Yuri up and headed for the medbay. "Kalmiya."

"Yes?" The feminine, disembodied voice of the ship's new Artificial Intelligence piped up.

"Prep the medbay. She was injected with something called Th Miracle. I'm not sure what it does or what the hell it is, so full bloodwork. She's in bad shape and hallucinating, so find out what the hell is in Miracle and find a way to at least end the hallucinations. Or, tell me if she's just currently confused and not sure what the hell is going on."

"Of course."

 

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

 

Riley was awoken by the buzzing of her comm. Seris's face appeared, the hologram flickering.

"It is done."

"Bye bye then Seris. I'll see you when I catch up."

"Whatever Riley."

Snapping the comm off, Riley flicker her phone open. "Dunkel. I'm heading to the World. Gonna see of Reidan Aurora  is willing to part with the precious Sixth Fleet."

Her ship powered on and rose above the ground, before speeding skyward and soon was far, far away.

 

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

 

Seris Aether looked across the bridge of the Sarah Aether. "Operation: Swallow Down is over. Proceed to regroup with the fleet at Neverland."

"En route." The helmsman said. The ship accelerated, entering hyperspace.

"This is Seris to the Third Fleet. Ten minutes out."

(riku, it's fine if Neena is part of the Decolor Ultor right?)

 

Neena attempted to deflect the bolts of lightning with her blades, succeeding for the most part, though a few managed get past and jolt her. The electrical burns stung, but she had been through worse. Namely, the pain of losing her home to the KWU. That one burned much more than a lightning bolt ever would. She gritted her teeth and sneered, gripping her sword. she glanced up to spot her opponent on the ceiling, preparing for another attack. Neena flipped backwards, switching back to her bow while she did. Neena landed and aimed up to Vashle, shooting off an arrow she had charged with mana-draining magic, hopefully rendering her opponent magically useless. After shooting off the arrow, the assassin went into a defensive position, her blade back out. "To answer you're question, no I am not." Neena replied coldly. Brutal pain was the only thing the KWU understood, and she intended to make sure they understood.

(riku, it's fine if Neena is part of the Decolor Ultor right?)

(Neena would be a special agent as she is working solo, but if you are good with that, it's good with me.){Anya}Anya carefully took Tradesh's hand."Pleased to meet you." She said.Tradesh smiled slightly."Please don't lie, Miss Coil." He replied. "Few like what we do and none like it when we are giving the missions.""Pardon." Anya apologized.Tradesh waved a dismissive hand."Nothing new, Miss Coil."The Decolor Ultor agent turned and nodded to Pennington."If you would begin, Captain." He prompted. Pennington glared at Tradesh a moment then pulled a file out from his desk."Tell me, Coil, what do you know about Keyblade Scientists?" He asked.

Talon stood there as the kick didn't faze him. He looked at Darius.'' Contact our spy. We need them to keep an eye on that girl. Being the first Keyblade wielder to be injected the miracle and live is more important then you think. We don't know what it has done to her.'' Talon saw the supply was destroy.'' Also, it's time we make more.'' Talon said as he started walking up the stairs. Darius followed.'' How are we going to do that?'' Darius asked'' Simple, we just give the science department more of my blood.'' Talon said as he saw a solider run to him'' What is it?'' Talon asked.'' It's Dante, he has requested you via video chat to talk to you my lord.'' the soldier said as Talon smirked.'' Well, this is quite interesting. First we win the battle of Hollow Bastion, then we have the first keyblader to live through the miracle and now I have Dante. the ambassador of the KWU on video? How else can this day get better?'' Talon smirked as he walked to the tent.

Yuri felt the world spin and twirl into a spiral of colors. The walls seemed to close in easily and it made her ever so nervous and uneasy as she waved her arms and feet,trying to keep the walls from closing in on her. She could hear the disorted laughter of the WPA soldiers as their shadows approached the strange cell. She felt as the warm liquid ran down her nose as she covered her face with her hands. Next thing she knew everything just stopped,the walls,the voices,everything. As she removed her hands from her face she looked around. She wasn't in the strange cell anymore. She was in a medbay,laying down on a gurney as these strange looking machanic arms attatched to the walls and cieling were working around,one of them taking blood samples as another lowered to Yuri,suddenly scanning her. Yuri groaned as she covered her eyes from the beam scanning her.

 

"H-Hey!"Yuri said as she then felt around her eyes,realizing that she still had the goggles on her. She took them off,throwing them to the side as she rubbed her eyes,dried up blood surrounding them. One of the robotic arms seemed to offer her a wet tissue to clean herself up. Yuri took it,muttering 'thank you' as she wripped the dried up blood off her. She felt her nose and felt the warm blood,to which she cleaned as well. "Where am I anyways?"Yuri muttered as she looked around. She carefully took off her hat,revealing her striking red hair as she then scratched the back of her head. Her hand carefully moved to her neck and hissed slightly. "Ow...what was that for anyways...and where the heck am I?"Yuri complained to herself.

 

...

 

Dante walked into the meeting room,waving his fan infront of him as he sat down on the big table. Across from him was Ravio,surrounded by his own men. His hands were together in a fist as he rested his face against them. A silver crown resting infront of him.

 

"Calm down my lord,I assure you that the WPA hasn't found her yet."Dante assured as he waved his fan infront of him.

 

"That idiot,running off like that...she's all I have and she thinks she can just go around like its f*cking candyland..."

 

"She is in her daring teens my lord,surely she must be around Disney Town or Land of Departure..."Dante said as he looked to the side. "We are sure to find her. But just incase...lets talk to the WPA. Leave it to me,my lord."Dante assured as a keyboard appeared in the table and he started to type on it. Soon enough in the middle of the table a giant projector appeared as it projected a giant screen. On it Talon's face appeared. Dante kept his fan infront of him as he gave a bow of respect. "Talon. I thank you for being able to lend me your time."Dante said respectedly. He looked up,his expression none changing. "I have to ask,have you happen to have seen a keyblade wielder with red hair and red eyes lately?"Dante said as he glanced up. "She is five feet tall,and should have her hair rather short...we usually don't do much with these soldiers but this soldier is rather...important. We are willing to exchange weapons for the soldier."Dante informed rather patiently.

 

...

 

Vashle blocked the arrow,but its mana draining magic spread across Vashle,and it felt horrible. He felt as if he had been drained out of life itself as he fell onto one knee and panted for breath,using his keyblade as support,resting his forehead against his hand. He wasn't made for battle. He was surely to die before he would be able to be a good fighter,forced into war against his will.

 

"(I can't die...not yet...)"Vashle though to himself. Next thing he knew there was a loud beeping noise. He turned over to the computer behind him as the screen flashed bright white,suddenly Nyan-cat appearing on the screen,playing its annoying song. "...eh?"Vashle asked himself,just as confused as the assassin most likely was. Suddenly the alarm of the base went off,lights going off red.

 

"ATTENTION EVERYONE,THERE'S A LEAKAGE IN THE BASE,I REPEAT,THERE'S A LEAKAGE IN THE BASE,EVAC,EVAC!"

 

The voice yelled. WPA weren't able to transform in Atlantica unless with magic,and most WPA soldiers didn't had magic. Those who did were lucky,otherwise you would drown.

 

"...well crap."Vashle said as the computer behind him suddenly exploded. 

"You're currently onboard the last warship in existence that was created by a race called The Snow. Sometimes it can seem to dwarf entire worlds, this Aurora class heavy assault dreadnought is a myth among the World of Gummis, one of the World Power Aliiance's most technologically advanced allies, and one of the major spaceborn powers in the gummiverse. Upgraded by the power of the goddess Etro to survive after five centuries of slumber, you're sitting on a ship that can turn the surface of a world into magma within three days."

From the door stood Zion de Wynter. Leaning against the door frame, she was pretty much impassive. Watching the automated systems tend to Yuri, she detached herself from the wall and walked to the girl's side.

"Welcome onboard the Forward Unto Dawn. I am Zion de Wynter, Keyblade Master. My title is the Keeper of Salvation's Dawn. The Keeper part changes over the years apparently; that or I keep forgetting, which really sucks." She reach out, her hand held above Yuri's chest. A holographic display popped up. "You seem fine, thankfully. Not going to die again anytime soon - which is good, because bringing someone back to life is such a bitch." Lowering her hand, Zion sighed. "I'd go on about me, but it's a bit complicated, and I'd rather not make this harder for you then it already is. Thankfully you're now safe, and we're away and gone from Hollow Bastion. Don't know where you hail from, but hopefully nowhere near where that first guy came from."

Crossing her arms, Zion regarded her. "So. I intro'd myself. You are?"

 

Seris felt the jolt of exiting hyperspace. Looking up, she found her view filled with Neverland. Most of her fleet followed almost immediately after; some were still in hyper space, and she was annoyed that the Third Fleet had older ships that hadn't been fixed up. It was something to do, and thankfully her contacts could ship the parts - the Seventh Fleet, Downfall of Darkness, would be able to make some supply runs. The Summers were blood relatives of the Aethers, and always had their back. That did make them a target, but that also made the fleet dangerous.

 

The World of Gummis was built on loyalty. Each fleet, each ship, had been in a family. Some families preferred small vessels, some did their best to find a bigger one. This loyalty was what made the World strong; every fleet was built upon centuries, no millenia of loyalty. Ships rarely changed from the first captain's bloodline, and even then, the rare instances always ended with the original bloodline back in command.

This was also the achilles' heel for the World; blood feuds could tear a fleet apart, or...or, one family's rebellion could bring about a mass revolution. Which, in the case of the Aether family, it nearly caused a full blown civil war.

The Seventh and Thirteenth Fleets already under suspicion, but Reidan Aurora could do nothing. Any attempts to remove members of a fleet could cause the entire fleet to desert. An act that would solidify Seris Aether's cause, and right now, Aurora couldn't afford it.

 

So, as Riley Erika sat down in front of him, he sighed. "So, Colonel. We have two fleets that, any more, could cause mass desertion. I have four fleets with me. Six more fleets can sway either way, and four of them...well, if Summer leaves, they could follow."

"Ever wonder what would happen if the masses start calling for your fall? Ya know. Cause, once the kingdom turns on the ruler,what power do you have?" Riley smirked. "Little Aurora needs to be careful." She stood. "Because...the masses could call for your fall if you don't be careful."

As Riley exited the room, Reidan growled. Bitch was right.

Too bad he'd make sure one would ever turn on him ever again.

Talon simply laid there. He cleared his throat.'' It's funny. You really believe you can restrain me?'' Talon asked he simply push Winter off of him as Darius then charged up his whips and destroyed the shield incasing Yuri and Zion. Darius then whipped around Zion's ankle and made her fall as he caught Yuri. Talon drew his sword as Darius simply disappeared within the darkness.'' I'll give you traitors and this Keyblade Wielder one chance to escape before I kill all of you. That girl has became the first Keyblade Wielder to host the Miracle inside her. Do you really think I wasn't afraid of seeing the two girls who believe a Keyblade Wielder, one that saved a simple soldier that can be replace, be important? Now, I'll ask again. How about you back away before I show how five years on a hellish island can do to a man?'' Talon asked as his eyes grew red.

 

Yuri tripping out, some idiot breaking her impressive Dawnguard Shield, and her currently on her ass, Zion was wondering what the hell happened in five hundred years.

Training kicked in at the speed of Javelin swooning over Kairi. Two Keyblades appeared behind Winter and Aurora, and shoved them to a central point. Zion pushed up into the air with her wings and kicked Talon in the face in classic dropkick style, before grabbing Yuri and powering into Winter and Aurora in a Flying Birdcage Tackle.

From the door stood Zion de Wynter. Leaning against the door frame, she was pretty much impassive. Watching the automated systems tend to Yuri, she detached herself from the wall and walked to the girl's side.

[sorry for the delay. Crap ton of exams and lot of catching up to do on other RPs ]

 

'' It's funny. You really believe you can restrain me? I'll give you traitors and this Keyblade Wielder one chance to escape before I kill all of you. That girl has became the first Keyblade Wielder to host the Miracle inside her. Do you really think I wasn't afraid of seeing the two girls who believe a Keyblade Wielder, one that saved a simple soldier that can be replace, be important? Now, I'll ask again. How about you back away before I show how five years on a hellish island can do to a man?'' 

 

Aurora was speechless as she was thrown off, choking on the fact that her dearly beloved was replaceable in the eyes of a superior. She immediately recovered, leveling her sub-rifle at him. Winter continued to watch Yuri, praying that she didn't need to do anything hurtful. "I don't care about your threat" Aurora growled to the commander, "I've seen enough carnage for one lifetime, and I can't take it anymore. If I'm gonna go down, I might as well go down fighting. Polaris Team might not hurt you, but by golly, I swear we'll give you a black eye before we go down." 

 

"Where am I?" Yuri ask, "I want to go home..." The sound of her voice made it hard for Winter to fight back tears at this point. Seeing innocent lives being thrusted into a warzone was an all too familiar sight for the team, but still takes their breath away every time they see it. "Why?" the cold sniper whispered, "why can this be allowed to happen?"

 

A familiar white armored figure suddenly popped into the room, arrow-rifle at the ready and aimed at Talon. His head was bandaged up slightly, with a large gash that barely started healing ran from the top of his bloodied left eye to the bridge of his nose. "Get away from him!" Silber screamed to his girl, "he's the bloody commander for a reason!"

 

"Silber?!" Aurora yelled back, shocked by his appearance.

"Now!" he screamed.

 

Before anyone else could react, Zion teleported them all away from Talon. Managing to land on their feet, the remains of Polaris Team quickly assessed their surroundings before lowering their weapons. Silber let off a sigh, relieved that they no longer had to face their supreme commander. 

"Nice aim. Didn't land on me this time."

"I know. I almost was disappointed. Then I realized you took a step back."

"yep. And these two?"

"They came to save Yuri. Had to bring them with."

 

"Right. So, I'm Xion, this is Zion. We're married. We saved your ass and appeared out of a magic portal. Now tell me, what have you people been doing to my tower in Twilight Town?"

 

Realizing that the girls weren't out to kill them all, Silber immediately snapped to attention and gave Zion a weak salute. "Silber two-three" he introduced himself, "acting squad leader of Polaris Team." he nodded over to the other two girls in his team. "Winter two-two and Aurora two-four." He hesitated, then continued to answer her questions. "Twilight Town... The Clock Tower..." he let off a gulp, then slowly continued. "They're... using it for public executions. Hanging, specifically." The memories of their friend Arcticus made the team collectively wince, with Winter the most visibly disturbed. As Zion introduced herself to the team, both Aurora and Silber gathered around Winter, trying their damned best to comfort her as she desperately fought back tears.
