In the years before the First Keyblade War the worlds existed as one whole world one bright shining star filled with light no darkness in site everyday the light of kingdom hearts filled the world and everyone was happy as the Guardian of Kingdom Hearts the wielder of the X-Blade watched over all no Keyblade's were needed no Keyblade but the X-Blade existed peace prospered but Peace can't last forever.

 

The one true World has existed for hundreds and hundreds of years, generations have lived out there lives in peace never knowing or seeing war but now it is finally coming to an end the last generation who could ever say that is meeting its end as the Generation that shall give birth to War step into the light and darkness is born.

 

The Guardian of Kingdom Hearts has had enough and his time to step forth and purify the world is here. Is there anyway to stop a God of Light with his eye's set on the destruction of the human race only time will tell.

Wrapped in warm clothing with his arms wrapped around himself Tristan walked along a path on a snowy mountain in Land of Dragons "Geez why did i take this path it freezing" rubbing up and down along both his arms to try and warm himself up "I guess there's no helping it really considering i did take that request to find that rare flower that's said to grow on this mountain but geez that flower better make some dam good medicine or I'm freezing my ass for nothing here"

Sinbad extended his arms at the flying Runa. “I got you!” He yelled as Runa fell onto him, the two falling back onto the stands harshly. “Ow.” Sinbad complained as Runa stood up, her eyes glaring and lit up with confusion. “What the hell just happened?! He literally stopped time! I was this close and he just, poof! Sent me flying!” Runa yelled, confused, but mostly angry. She’d never had that attack fail before. She was sure that she could get him. She didn’t expect this guy to be able to stop her in midair like he did. Runa growled and kicked Sinbad out of anger, who simply fell back down groaning. “I’m going to interrogate Nagito.” With that Runa walked away. Sinbad groaned as he stood up, looking over at Kaito with a pout. “May I have my sword back? My father gave that to me.”

Kaito let out a loud sigh of relief, falling back so that he was now lying down on the ground while trying to catch his breath. "(One week huh? I'll have to think of a plan during that time.)" Kaito glanced back up as he heard Sinbad approach, asking for his sword back. "Of course. Forgive me for taking it on short notice, but I was in dire need of a weapon at the time." Kaito sat back up and carefully returned the blade back to it's rightful owner. "I was impressed. The blade could hold together, even though I was channeling magic into it. Whoever made it was certainly a great blacksmith." Kaito stood up slowly, brushing himself off as he looked around, seeing the stands now empty. "Looks like everyone managed to leave before things got really dangerous. I bet they left at the mere mention of Kingdom Hearts. They probably didn't want to end up like the ones killed by the guardian." Kaito then turned his attention back to Sinbad, smiling as he offered his hand. "I don't think we've been properly introduced. My name is Kaito Makishima, but you can just call me Kaito." "... Liar..." Kaito froze, his gaze turning to the entrance of the arena where Nagito was now standing weakly against the wall. "You're not... Kaito... You're... That man... From the..." Nagito's eyes rolled into the back of his head and he suddenly fell to the floor. Kaito's eyes narrowed, seeing the tattoo on Nagito's cheek glowing brightly. "That's not good." Kaito hurried over to Nagito, sitting him up against the wall and put a hand over his cheek. "(At this rate, he'll start remembering. I need to keep him in the dark a little while longer.)" Kaito covered the tattoo with his hand and shut his eyes, the purple glow now disappearing. "There... That should keep him asleep for a while. Don't worry, he's okay, he just needs rest. Anyway, where were we?" Kaito turned his attention back to Sinbad. "So, I'm Kaito. What's your name?"

Sinbad crossed his arms and held his sword. “(Father made this sword.)” Sinbad thought. He cleared his throat as he got his weapon back to where it belonged. “My name is Sinbad. You stole my fangirls earlier today!” Sinbad hissed as he got his hands to his hips. Runa stood by the doorway as she looked down at the unconscious Nagito, and then back at Kaito. “Hey I remember you! You were the guy asking for Nagito earlier!” Runa said as she walked forward Kaito, glaring at him. “You just happen to be here as well. Don’t know about you, but this is starting to seem a bit coincidental.” Runa said as her eyes narrowed. “Runa, stop harassing the guy. You aren’t robbing him.” “Who said anything about robbing him, I want to kick his sorry @$$.” Sinbad sighed. “Please forgive Runa, she’s…special.” "Forget about me. This guy saw us earlier today and he totally forgot our faces!"

wrapped in a thick cloth Tristan emerged from a sand storm standing before the entrance to Daybreak Town "Finally here" looking through the main gate of the city Tristan could see that city seemed allot livelier compared to his last visit it was then that he heard it "Quick there was a report of another survivor from the Guardian's attack suddenly having that huge key appear find whoever it was and take them into custody we can't allow a single key wielding monster to run free in this city we must avoid angering the great Kingdom Hearts as much as possible" quickly pulling away from where he stood Tristan hid himself within the shadows "Another one? huge key? it couldn't be could it?" looking down to his right hand Tristan began to wonder "Another person like me? Another survivor i need to find them quick before the townspeople can but i need to stay out of sight" Quickly Tristan began to move being sure to move fast but unnoticed as he moved through out daybreak town in search of another Key Wielder 

With a sigh, Kaito headed inside the building, making sure to bring Nagito along with him. "I'll have you know that this is no coincidence and that I haven't forgotten our encounter." Kaito looked away, a look of annoyance smacked onto his face as he attempted to deal with the child. "You guys didn't leave your names the first time we met and neither did I. So, that was our official meeting where we introduced ourselves by name." Arriving at his private waiting area, Kaito placed Nagito down on a bed while making sure the other two were still able to hear him. "Anyway, you two should be worried a little. Firstly, you're traveling with a trouble magnet called Nagito. Secondly, rumours are going around that people who survived the attack from the Guardian are being taken away." Kaito took out a first aid kit from under his bed and started to attend to the wounds he received from Ookami. "Today, I advise that you two go and get some rest. I promise, I'll look after Nagito. I have a few things I need to talk about with him when he wakes up anyway." Standing up, Kaito looked around the room. "If you ever get the chance, you guys should train to get stronger. Now that we know what's coming, it looks like the only ones who have a chance to beat the forces of Kingdom Hearts are the ones who survived that massacre last week." Opening up a wardrobe, Kaito very carefully pulled out a long katana wrapped in bandages. "Never thought I might have to use this again..." Putting the sword up against a wall, he turned back to Sinbad and Runa. "If you need anything while you're here in Olympus, then don't be afraid to ask. Just make sure that whatever it is you want is legal."

Sinbad and Runa blinked, looked at each other, and then turned their gaze back at Kaito. Runa was the first to speak. “First off, I do whatever the hell I want, legal or not. Secondly, I totally told you that this guy was a little bit too interested in this kid. Also…I TOLD YOU THAT WE SHOULD’VE SOLD HIS ORGANS INTO THE BLACK MARKET! Now look what we have, a trouble magnet, a pretty boy wanna be and a tough guy after our @$$es for no reason!” Runa yelled as she waved her arms, her spunky attitude not bothering the already used Sinbad, who simply used his hand to push Runa away from hitting him. “You knew about the attacks then. Does that mean you’re a survivor as well?” Sinbad asked, all other worries pushed aside. He was going to ask about his father, but now that they had found yet ANOTHER survivor, it was becoming a bit to coincidental for it all to be just luck. “Can you please share anymore details about what you know? Ever since that attack everything has gotten out of whack for us, and if survivors are going missing…” Sinbad trailed off, his eyes narrowing. This was much, much bigger than he expected. He hoped that all of this was simply a onetime accident, but sadly that was not the case. “Maybe some side effects of being ripped in half besides the lingering pain and trauma? Because I’m pretty sure Sinbad couldn’t summon random giant flaming things out of nowhere before any of this **** happened.” Runa hissed, walking around as she rubbed her side, where the bandages covered her wounds. Due to her tiny stature she was almost ripped into two separate pieces. By mere inches the vertebrate was missed. It was luck, or a miracle.

Kaito crossed his arms in thought, taking in everything that the two had said to him and hoping to make some kind of sense of it. "Firstly, I'm not a survivor from that day. Everyone on the planet was observing that event and I simply noticed that Nagito was there. From my understanding of Nagito's mind, he probably would not have allied himself with you unless you were also survivors or he was in a dire situation. Secondly, this power that you mentioned Sinbad having, is there any way that you could show it to me? If it is a type of summoning magic, then I should be able to tell you about it." Kaito then stared down, placing a hand to his chin. "(But... there is a chance that coming into contact with that guardian may have triggered something. Maybe not right away, but it's possible that they could aqcuire powers that are currently unknown to the human race.)" Kaito was brought back to reality at the sound of groaning, the white haired Nagito finally awakening from his slumber. "You took your time waking up. You really have changed." Nagito sat up slowly, his eyes appearing gloomy and his motion slowed. "Where are we...?" "My quarters within the arena. You were knocked out with a single blow from Ookami." The snow haired boy rubbed his eyes, finally waking up fully. "I see... So then, who are you?" "My name is Kaito." "You're a bad liar." "I'm better than what you think. Regardless, Kaito is the only name you're getting." "... Did you know him? My father? His name was Kaito too." There was a long pause before Kaito smiled. "Yes Nagito, I knew your father, he was my magic teacher. Just as I used to be yours when you were growing up. You were a real failure of a student you know." "... Why can't I remember?" "You were very young, I'm sure you've just forgotten." A long exasperated groan resounded from Nagito as he led back down. "I remember growing up in that place, but I don't remember taking any magic lessons. Is it connected to this?" Nagito asked, placing a hand on the purple tattoo under his left eye. "It's not my place to say. Anyway, you should all get some rest. We have one week before I have to face Ookami and there's stuff that needs doing before that time comes." "Fine... I need some cake." Nagito very quickly jumped onto his feet and headed for the door, but before he left, Kaito called after him. "Nagi!" Nagito turned around to find his yoyos flying towards him, only giving him a second or two to catch them. "You should make these heavier. Your arms will become frail if you don't keep up your fitness." Nagito stared for a few seconds before leaving without another word, stropping slightly. Kaito then turned back to the other two with a smile across his face. "So, is it still possible for me to see that power you mentioned from before?"

For whatever reason, Kaito's nickname for Nagito, Nagi, made Runa burst out in laughter. "Nagi?!" She continued to laugh, before being smacked over the head by Sinbad. "Enough." Sinbad said, Runa falling down with a thud on the ground. "(I'm looking for my father too. I guess I can connect like that with Nagito a bit. Maybe he saw me, if the world was witness to all of this.)" Sinbad thought. He looked up at Kaito with an unimpressed look. "I'd say he joined us more out of a dire situation. He didn't knew we were survivors until he blurted it out and we confessed to it as well." Sinbad said. Runa sat up, unphased. "We found him crawling in the desert near a water rock. If we had not found him he would be dead, so you owe us!" Runa said as she pointed at Kaito. "Runa-" Sinbad was interrupted. "Had that kid not been around we would've gotten here faster, and not faced the canyon colossus." Runa explained, quickly standing up. "So you totally owe us, Kaito. Maybe with some food, or money, or maybe some things to sell in the black market~" Runa smiled as she chuckled to herself. Sinbad quickly changed the topic. "About that thing I summoned...that power...I really don't know how to do it?" Sinbad said as he scratched the back of his head. "You see, it seriously appeared in the palm of my hands out of nowhere. When we were attacked by the colossus, I raised my arms to defend myself. It was a very scary moment. I really thought I was going to be eaten. Next thing I know the colossus is backing away, and that...thing was in my hands. Before I could inspect it any further, it disappeared into nothing. Therefor, though I wish I could show it to you again...I don't know how." Sinbad explained, kind of sad that he couldn't show it. He was just as confused of what it was and really wished for answers about it. Runa gave a playful smirk. "Maybe you have to be in danger again in order to repeat the circumstances of when it first appeared." Runa offered. Sinbad glared. "Like hell I will willingly put myself in a dangerous situation like that again. I almost got eaten!"

Upon reaching the town square Tristan looked to the situation before him in horror, in the middle of square stood a gallows with a number of body's already hanging from it and below them body's laid what seemed to be now lifeless Keyblade's "(there killing them there killing the survivors why?!)" As Tristan watched he saw two more survivors being hung he then finally heard the reason as to why this was happening "The Great Kingdom Hearts is displeased with the current world for that reason all the survivors of the Guardians attack must be killed in order to set the world back on the course Kingdom Hearts has set for us those survivors are a contradictions that must be eliminated we as follows of the light must be the ones to eliminate the contradictions bring forth the next survivor" upon seeing one more survivor being brought towards the gallows Tristan snapped as his keyblade appeared in his hand releasing a surge of energy and causing a panic in the crowd "NO MORE!!!" "Another one Capture him!"

Kaito crossed his arms in thought. "A dangerous situation you say... I think I have an idea to bring out your power. But for now, get some rest. For bringing Nagito back safely, I'll give you a place to stay for the night with all the food you could eat. Tomorrow, I'll bring out that power that lies within you Sinbad, trust me." Kaito then stood up, guiding the other two out until they arrived at an Inn. "You guys can stay here for the night. Don't worry, everything will be on me. Being the champion of the coliseum does have its perks." The white haired champion frowned suddenly as he peeked at the wall on the side of the Inn, seeing a spray painting of a dark beach with a crescent moon hanging above it. "Looks like Nagito's been here..." Kaito sighed began walking out into the night. "You two go and make yourselves at home. Tell the caretaker that I said you were okay to stay there. He'll ask for a password that proves you're actually with me. The password is Yuki, so I'll see you two tomorrow." Without even waiting for a response, Kaito ran off into the moon lit streets while looking for his "disciple".

 

Nagito found himself skating around the city of Olympus, spray painting any free walls he could find and, in general, relieving himself of the stress he had built up that day. "This is the life! Just me, my board and the wind!" Nagito ground to a halt, arriving at the outskirts of the city. "The stars are out tonight. Pretty nice to see them shining them down on us like that... Makes me forget about how the world is slowly turning upside down." "Well, that's what happens when you introduce darkness to a person's heart." Nagito turned around to see someone dressed in a white cloak. "It's good to see you again Nagi." "You're that guy from my dream. The one who's from the Family of Snow." "I see that you've begun to remember us, very good." Nagito's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean, remember?" "You will find out soon enough. Seek your answers from Kaito, he knows more than what he is letting on." "What do you mean? Just who the hell are you?" The cloaked figure began to step back into the shadows with Nagito running towards him with his hand stretched out. "Wait!" Nagito then found himself running straight into Kaito. "Whoa! What's up with you?" "Damn it! He got away!" "Who did?" "That guy in the white cloak! The one from the Family of Snow!" Kaito's eyes widened at Nagito's mention of the Family of Snow. "... Forget about that name." "What? You can't expect me to do that! That man knows about my true past..." Nagito grit his teeth, taking a few steps back. "... and so do you, don't you?" Kaito frowned, taking out a picture from his pocket. "Let's go and have a little talk. I'll tell you about your past, Nagi."

Sinbad and Runa looked at each other. Runa was excited. Sinbad dreadful over the fact that tomorrow something would happen. To him in specific. Using the given password, the two got a room with two beds, and tickets to eat the Inn's buffet. Runa was in awe. She'd never seen so much food in one place all together. It took Sinbad about five minutes to explained to her how they worked, before Runa throwing her arms into the air in cheer and began to eat. Sinbad ate his moderate meal, thinking throughout about everything that had been transpiring. Especially the power that Kaito had told him tomorrow would be brought out. Sinbad didn't like the idea of it. After he finished his meal, he stood up and turned to Runa, who was on her third plate. "I'm heading to the room to rest. Meet you there when you're done." Sinbad said, waving before heading to the room. He laid in one of the beds, staring at the ceiling. "(When I held it in my hand, even if it was for mere moments, it felt as if it was alive. As if I was holding another part of me, a limb or an organ. It's gone, but...the feeling lingers.)" Sinbad thought.He extended his arm upwards, opening his hand, remembering of how the weapon had appeared. It was strange. This had never happened before. Was all of this connected to the incident from before?

 

...

 

Runa ate her fill, and it was a big one. Keeping her slender figure she ate like a hog. Maybe Nagito and her had a few things in common after all. "Did you hear the rumors?" Runa perked up at the voices behind her, of the two guests of the inn speaking. "There have been some killing in order to keep balance or something. It's being going on in other countries." "I really hope that doesn't spread here. Who are they killing though?" "They're calling them survivors. Don't know of what though." Runa's eyes narrowed. "(Don't tell me...we now have hunters on our tails because of this.)"

Seeing swords drawn and pointed towards him Tristan glared at the men preparing to attack him as he noticed the executor at the gallows "Do away with this one while they have that one distracted" wrapping the noose around a young girls neck the executioner prepared to preform the deed "May Kingdom Hearts forgive you" "LIKE HELL I'LL LET YOU" just as the executioner pulled the leaver to drop the panel to hang the girl Tristan threw his keyblade towards the rope hanging her "CUT IT DOWN!!!" "What!!!" reaching the rope Tristan's keyblade sliced through it saving the girl the guards looked to Tristan in shock at the accuracy and power he had just shown by throwing his keyblade from such a distance "you fools stop staring he's unarmed now's the time to strike" "Owe shit" "get him!" looking rather worried Tristan suddenly heard someone call out "Call it back call back your sword" "(call back the keyblade)" opening and closing his fist for a moment tristan thought over those words confused until the keyblade once again reappeared within his hands "What the you can do something like this"

Nagito and Kaito sat on a bench that overlooked the city, staring up at the stars above. Without a word, Kaito handed Nagito a picture. "What's this?" "A part of your past. A big part of it." The picture was of a child Nagito, a teenaged Kaito and a girl with a dark purple hair. "I know her. We grew up together at the orphanage and her name was... Uhhh... Something beginning with T." Kaito snickered. "You have the memory span of a gold fish, that's for sure." "Shut up! Now where was I? Hmmmm..." "Touka." "What?" "The girl's name. It's Touka." Nagito stared at the picture. "You and her stuck together no matter what, but after you heard that she was finally getting adopted by a family living in Twilight Town..." "I ran away and started living on my own... How is she?" "Last time I saw her, which was a few months ago, she was working at a cafe while finishing her last year of high school. It looked like she was trying to get into a University in Radiant Garden." "I see... Well, maybe I'll go and see her sometime. I doubt she even remembers me though." Kaito laughed once again. "Whatever you say kiddo." Nagito sighed at his mentor's laid back attitude. "So, I'm assuming there's an important reason you brought her up all of a sudden?" "Yeah... Her brother is a member of the Family of Snow." "Who are they exactly?" "The Family of Snow were a group of seven magic wielders who all excelled in using a certain element. Touka's brother for example was the master of Fire magic." "Okay, but why do the Family of Snow exist? What is there purpose?" "Their purpose 'was' to observe the world. This meant making sure that the regulation of magic was even throughout the world so that no particular country was lacking." Nagito groaned in annoyance. "Why do you keep doing that?! Every single time you've brought up the Family of Snow, it's been in the past tense!" "That's because they disbanded eight years ago." "... What?" Kaito sighed, scratching his head a little. "A certain incident occurred where one of the members decided to seek more power and because of their actions, a sacrifice was made within the group of mages. I guess you could say that's the reason we're in this mess. You see the power that this member had discovered was the power of darkness. An opposite to the light that we all live in. This darkness changed the mage to a point where he could never go back to being who he once was." Kaito looked down with a long drawn out sigh. "But it's not like it matters now, the whole world's falling apart anyway." "Yeah yeah, but who's to say that we can't put things back in order. I'm sure all you need to do is just teach me how to use magic again and I'll be able to take on anyone." "... I should have known you'd say something like that." "Great! Well, I'm tired, so I'll you and the other two in the morning." "Sure." Nagito began walking away when he stopped and looked over his shoulders. "I don't quite remember it, but it was you who gave me these, right?" Nagito said with a smile as he held up his yoyo's. Without another word, Nagito walked off into the night, leaving Kaito with a single word. "Thanks."

Sinbad was pretty close to falling asleep. He was starting to drift. The images of that encounter that almost killed him and Runa. The voices. The white surroundings contrasting to the red of the blood being spilled. It was a caged sacrifice. Dragged into a space and forced to run into walls as they watched their upcoming faith. The screams still echoed in his mind. Then the door slammed open, having Sinbad jump in surprise as Runa walked into the room, one hand filled with desserts, the other with a newspaper. "Sinbad," Runa started, handing him a chocolate smudged newspaper. "Read this to me." Runa insisted. Sinbad stared at her before curiously looking down at the paper. It wasn't from here, Olympus. Most likely from another country. " 'Sacrifice of what they call survivors have been made in various countries and cities, all in the name of the safety of our world. Anyone who wields a key-shaped weapon must be reported and turned in. Anyone harboring these people will be punished.' " Sinbad read. He stared at the paper as he turned to Runa. "Where did you find this?" Sinbad asked. "Some guy was talking about it, so I stole it from his pocket." Runa said.  Sinbad was about to scold her, but he didn't. This was something they should know about. "They're hunting down those who lived." Sinbad muttered. "Yeah, but what about that weird thing they mentioned? The key-shaped weapon? Who the hell uses a key-shaped weapon. For one it won't be sharp, it'd look stupid. Oh look at me. I have a giant key. If you don't do something what can they do? OPEN A DOOR?" Runa said, sarcasm lacing her words. Sinbad payed no mind, only thought of what he was going to face tomorrow. "I guess we're soon to find out, whether we like it or not."

 

 

Looking to the guards as they surrounded him he saw a number of them quickly moving towards the girl he had just saved from hanging preparing to try and dispose of her once again seeing a number of swords and arrows pointed towards him a worried feeling filled Tristan's body "(I'm not Serena I don't want to kill anyone if i can avoid it)" The guards surrounding Tristan finally made their move "Archers Fire!" "Crap" with arrows coming at him from all directions Tristan saw no way to escape them and quickly covered his face with his arms in an X type fashion upon doing this Tristan stood still for a few moments with his eyes closed until he noticed something "Shouldn't the arrows have hit me by now" slowly lowering his arms and opening his eyes Tristan noticed the Soldiers stare at him in shock Tristan looked to them confused until he to saw the reason behind the shock surrounding Tristan was a large number of motionless arrows stuck against what seemed to be some kind of sphere circling Tristan "What is this" slowly reaching out to touch the sphere the sphere expanded upon Tristan's touch until it completely burst out blasting back all the soldiers "I have no idea what just happened but it worked out good for me either way" Quickly running through the knocked soldiers Tristan ran over to the girl who was now unconscious and picked him up carrying her over his shoulder "Someone Kill those Two!" turning towards the voice that had just screamed Tristan glared towards a well dressed elderly man "Those who judge before they can even understand I think I'm beginning to understand the concept of darkness The Guardian mentioned" "You dare speak to me outlaw" "Ya I do" "I'll have your head for such remarks" "That's only if you can take it I'm no push over old man you'll be long dead in your grave before you can see my head on a pike" "Guards Kill This Fool Already!!!" upon hearing the old man roar once again Tristan made a tight hold on the girl and made a run for it

In Twilight Town, there was a small cafe on the slope leading up to the station plaza called Anteiku. The cafe was known for it's kind staff and excellent beverages, but Anteiku now had a secret and that secret was that one of it's members was a survivor. Touka, a young girl who works at Anteiku, was constantly on edge about others finding out that she had survived that terrible incident. However, she had to keep up a pretty convincing act to make sure that no one outside the cafe knew about her secret. "Good morning." Touka said to a set of customers who had just entered the small cafe for what seemed to be there breakfast. "Oh, good morning." Two men sat down at a table and ordered coffee, looking as if they hadn't slept all night. "Looks like this case isn't going to solve itself. People with Keys are popping up everywhere." "I know. Some are calling them 'Keyblades'. Looks pretty impractical if you ask me." Touka couldn't help but eavesdrop for this was a conversation that concerned her as well. "So what are we going to do after we capture them all?" "It's obvious. We'll kill them all and ask for that Guardian to leave the rest of us in peace." "Here you go Sirs. Your coffees, just as you requested." "Thank you very much." Touka walked back to the desk, her fist tightening at the thought of people being hunted down without any specific reason other than out of fear. "I'm going to take a break, okay?" Touka asked her manager who only nodded, letting walk out of the back door. Getting a can of soda from a vending machine, Touka looked at the sunrise with a sigh while thinking to herself. "Are you still out there Nagi? I'm pretty sure it was you I saw back then, in that other world, being cut up right in front of me... I hope you managed to survive... Somehow..." Touka then sighed at herself, feeling annoyed. "What am I thinking? He's fine! Besides, I've got myself to worry about right now. Still, I need to find a way to get out of this routine. I don't hate it, I just feel like it's holding me back..." Touka sat down and began staring at the sky. "I'll figure it out... Eventually."

Sinbad ended up falling asleep sound and safely in his bed. He even snored as he pulled up his bedsheets over his head, curling in the warmth. Runa was sleepless, however, regardless that she had an actual bed after some time. She stared down at the newspaper while sitting on her bed. People were being hunted down, and murdered, executed to be exact, for being survivors. But because they survived had to mean something, right? That they weren't just left to live only to die by being executed by either by religious crazies or a forsaken bounty hunter. She really hoped she wouldn't encounter any of the Agrabah bounty hunters, then that would mean encountering both old enemies and possibly old friends. But she also wished that whatever bounty hunters were sent weren't as experienced, in hopes that they would miss them completely. "(Maybe it's that power they are after, the one that Sinbad used against the Colossus?)" Runa thought, groaning to herself as she threw her hands in the air and dropped herself on the bed. "I don't want us to end up drying so quickly."

leaning against a wall in a dark ally with the girl he had just saved still unconscious on the floor beside him. Biting down on his lip slightly Tristan groaned as he pulled an arrow from his right shoulder "I can say allot about those soldier but damn some of them had impressive aims I'm lucky only one of them managed to actually hit me" looking towards the girl beside him Tristan smirked "But if anyone here is lucky it has to be her" "uh...um..." slowly sitting up while rubbing her head the girl looked to Tristan for a moment confused until she quickly put her hand to her neck as if looking for something "N...no rope wait did I... am i dead" "i sure hope not cause if you are then i got shot by an arrow for nothing" slowly looking to Tristan slightly confused the girl spoke "wait you i was being hung but you... you cut the rope... you saved me didnt you" "Ya well not like i was going to sit there and watch those cult freaks kill you" looking to Tristan with a rather shy expression the girl smiled slightly "Thank you" "So what's your name?" "Katelyn and you" "Tristan" 

Nagito awoke from his slumber bright and early in the morning, something that he himself found to be quite odd. With a sudden desire to further his own physical capabilities, Nagito headed over to the coliseum in order to undergo some training. However, when Nagito had arrived, he found Kaito training with the sword he had taken out of his wardrobe the day before. "You're up early. What did you do, get a nightmare?" "Speak for yourself. I just came here to get stronger and I just happen to find you doing the same thing." Nagito stretched as he suddenly found a wooden sword thrown towards him. Catching the toy sword, Nagito looked at it curiously until he noticed Kaito pick up one himself. "I'm assuming you've never really used a sword before, right?" "Yeah, that's about right. I was more of a hand-to-hand type guy." "I'm aware. Regardless of that, if you gained a power that allows you to summon a weapon like the one Sinbad described, then you'd better learn." Nagito groaned a little as Kaito prepared himself. "Attack me." "Are you serious about this? I already know you're stronger than I am." "Beating people who are weaker than you is pointless because you don't gain anything from it. Attack me." Nagito sighed but then began to smile. Swiping the wooden blade to his side, Nagito launched at Kaito, slashing toward him with a vertical strike. Of course, Kaito easily managed to guard against the attack before rotating the toy in his hand in a clockwise formation, sending Nagito's sword flying out of his hand. "Listen, Nagi, it's not all about power, okay? It's about control. Hold back on the power and control yourself a little more. Trust me, it'll work." Kaito handed the blade back to Nagito, allowing him a second to stand a few feet back. Nagito's expression was calm as he now had the toy sword in an elevated position, facing his opponent. Nagito once again charged at his mentor, now making very precise strikes while Kaito guarded perfectly. Once again, Kaito held against all of Nagito's attacks, but from the consistency of the attacks, it was obvious that Nagito had learned something from that lesson. "You're strong Kaito." "Well, you can't be the champ if you're a loser. Your turn." Nagito clashed with Kaito as their roles were now reversed. Kaito began to rush Nagito with incredibly fast paced attacks which were clearly too much for the white haired youth to handle. Nagito found himself constantly stepping back while just barely defending against all of Kaito's attacks. Before he even knew it, Kaito knocked the wooden sword against Nagito's hand, causing him to drop his sword and have Kaito's pointing to his chin. "How many years did it take you to do that?" "A few." Kaito lowered his blade. "You did good for your first time. Keep up like that and you'll be a master of the sword in no time." "But I still won't be as good as you." "Well, who knows. Wanna go another round?" "Hell yes!" Nagito smiled, picking up the wooden sword once again. The two then continued their training for the next couple of hours.

Runa was dragged by Sinbad in order to take something magical called a ‘bath’. Of course she knew what it was, but she wasn’t really someone who found it useful to do it on a daily basis if you were only going to get dirty again. Plus in Agrabah where water was a scarce resource, the most she would do was damp a towel and wipe off any dirt with it. After taking a nice bath Sinbad brushed away any knots on her hair and changed the bandages with new ones, assuring her that once they got back, he was going to get her better clothing. What a dreadful experience. The next thing the two did was eat, and Runa ate twice her weight in food. “Why aren’t you excited?!” Runa demanded, as she slammed her cup against the table. Sinbad stared. “I don’t want to end up getting hurt for trying to summon up that…thing, or whatever it was. Especially not now with knowing that there’s people trying to execute any survivors! What if that thing is the reason why they’re getting killed?! We’d be chased and persecuted to the ends of this world just because I summoned something by a complete accident.” Runa growled. “Still don’t you want to find out what it is?! What if it’s the key to our questions, or something? Maybe if you can summon it we can sell it and use the money to find your dad, maybe if you can summon it we can find out why the heck were we taken to be sacrificed in the first place.” Runa hissed, shoving a plate full of scrambled eggs into her mouth. Sinbad sighed as he drank the last of his juice. “I guess you’re right. But I still don’t see the need. I know that it just felt so strange…well lets go look for Kaito then.” With that Sinbad and Runa stood up and headed to the arena just in time to see Kaito and Nagito train. “Oh look, they’re already up.” “By the look of their sweat it looks like they’ve been up for a while now.” Runa smirked. “Can I kick him?” “No.”

"Keep low okay" "Y...ya" using the shadowy allies as cover Tristan and Katelyn made their way towards the other regions of Daybreak Town as they did this they made sure to keep themselves hidden as guards searched the city for them Tristan dealing with any who did find them by knocking them out until finally standing just outside of daybreak town a deep thick forest like area stood before Tristan and Katelyn "Lets go" "In their? But we don't know whats in their" "I know but it can't be any worse then whats back in their" Taking her hand Tristan held it tight "Dont worry I'll protect you" Looking at him for a moment with a worried expression Katelyn reluctantly nodded as the two made their way into the deep wood "Tris...Tristan" "Don't worry I'm not going to let go i wouldn't dream of it" Running for what seemed like hours Tristan finally found a somewhat open area within the woods "I say we're far enough by now to take a brake so we'll rest up here" Lying up against a tree Katelyn had an exhausted look on her face "Its cold" "here" Moving over to Katelyn Tristan wrapped his arms around her as he did this Katelyn's face went red and fast "Wh...wha...what are you doing" "warming you up it's to dangerous to light a fire here so exchanging body heats the only option we have" "but to be th...this close" "Well if you'd rather freeze to death then deal with some embarrassed feelings its fine with me" "No wait thats not um it's fine sorry" "Dont worry about it" "Tristan" "ya" "Thank you for saving me" 

Nagito breathed heavily as Sinbad and Runa arrived, having been training against Kaito the entire time leaving him scraping for breath. Kaito looked over at the other two, giving Nagito a brief chance to catch his breath. "Well it looks like you two are all well and rested. So are you ready to commence the training I mentioned yesterday?" Using the opportunity of Kaito's back being turned, Nagito jumped at him for a sneak attack. Unfortunately, Kaito casually side-stepped and hit Nagito in the head, sending him crashing into the floor. "You're a million years two early to hit me with a sneak attack kid." "This... isn't... over... yet..." Nagito stood back up, his will unwavering as he was determined to land just a single hit on Kaito. "Can you guys give me a second? I think someone wants to go for round five-hundred and sixty-seven." Kaito held out his wooden blade in order to prepare for Nagito's inevitably predictable strikes. However, Kaito found himself caught in some odd tempo, a feeling of being unbalanced as Nagito began his approach. "Kaito~...!" Kaito's eyes widened as Nagito's mark underneath his left eye began glowing before he immediately vanished from sight. "(That was not Nagito, that was...!)" Kaito's gaze darted over his shoulder as Nagito struck Kaito in the back with his wooden blade with enough force to knock the white haired tutor off of his feet. "(Not good. I need to stop him before he loses control, even if it means waking him up a little.)" Kaito recovered from Nagito's attack and immediately moved to counter, taking Nagito's wooden sword and striking with a flurry of attacks using both blades. This combo of attacks ended with Kaito poking Nagito's shoulders with both of his swords, keeping him pinned against the floor as he began to hold his head in pain. "(It's started again...)"

 

Nagito looked around, finding himself in a blank space, unaware of where he was or what he was doing. "What the heck is going on!" "We're back inside your dream land Nagito. I must say though, it's a little bland, don't you think?" Once again, Nagito's mind was plagued by the mysterious hooded figure in the pure white cloak. "So, what does the Family of Snow have to do with me?" "More than you might think. We were tasked in regulating the world's magic. We were guardians. But that wasn't all we were tasked with doing. We were philosophers or scientists, whichever term you decide on. It's up to you. The main point is, we found something that didn't make any sense." "What was it?" The two circled each other, their gazes not giving each other an edge, despite the fact that the hooded figures face was shrouded in darkness. "We called it "Impulse". If you want to know more, then seek out Touka Kirishima. I'm sure you remember her of all people, right?" "What does that mean?! Just who the hell are you?!" "I am the youngest member of the Family of Snow, and my name... is Killua."

 

Nagito gasped as he looked around suddenly, seeing Kaito pinning him down with the other two watching interested. "What did you see and tell me specifically, don't leave anything out." "Killua..." Kaito stared at Nagito, releasing him from his grasp. "His name is Killua... Kaito, who is he?" "He's... My younger brother." "Why do I keep seeing him in my head? Not just in my dreams, but I'm having some serious delusions about this kid. What connection does he have to me?" "It's not my place to say. You want to know, you'll have to figure it out yourself." Nagito stared, back stepping until he was out of the way, sitting down on the ground of the arena. Kaito sighed deeply, turning back to Sinbad with a less amused face before, just barely sounding motivated. "Well? Let's try and release that power, shall we?"

Sinbad groaned. "I don't wanna~" He muttered, right before being kicked by Runa. "You better damn do it or else I'll tie you down!" Runa hissed, before walking over to Kaito, shoving a piece of newspaper up his face. There was the same look of anger on her face, but this time it was mixed with a bit of worry. "Do you see this? Do you?! Survivors like US are being executed publicly across the world, from country to country, city to city, everyone and anyone who survived whatever we survived, are being executed, and I think we're close to being next." Runa explained as she then pointed at one part of the article. "It also warns about these people wielding giant keys. If that's what Sinbad developed, maybe we can find a clue of what the actual hell is going on." Runa said as she shoved the newspaper into Kaito's arm and walked back to Sinbad, pulling him closer and into the arena. "Therefor, since you're the only one that has encountered an added strange thing, it is your responsibility to try to summon that key or whatever that was." Runa insisted. Sinbad groaned again. "As much as I'd love to, I don't even know how I summoned it!" He turned to Kaito. "Unless you have any brilliant ideas? That would leave me alive and in one piece by the end of it of course...and that it doesn't involve fighting giant Colossi either!"
