A crisp morning, that December was. A cold, average day. quiet, at least until twelve PM. That, of course, was the opening hour of Mainstreed, the Questboards, and the Cherrywood Bar and Wood fire Pizza restaurant, a well-known hang out spot of a specific low-grade monster-bashing team, as well as where we find said team blacked out, on the floor, like usual.

 

NeverBetter awoke with a grunt, coughing up a ball of hair, he tried to recall last night's events. "That's the last time I let Yuffie get my drinks... I think I bit a chunk out of Silver's hair again..." He sighed picking himself up off the ground, he looked around at the rest of his drunken and sleeping team.

 

"All of you, get up, please!" NeverBetter called to his teammates. 

 

(Welcome to the world we now as Alternate. I have just put us all here for now, as I feel its the easiest way to do things in terms of kicking us off.  Let the posting commence!)

(Wow. More people listen to Voltaire than I thought! Quick, to edits!)

(I mostly heard his work on TV and in an old MMO I used to play. I haven't listened to many of his songs on their own.)

(Yeah, that one. I didn't think anyone else on here would know what it was. I played it all the time in middle school)

(Same! I remember all the time i put into the freaking thing.)

(Same here. I remember the Friday the 13th events really well, too. I missed that one Keyblade weapon during one of them and got mad about it. )

Axel had been so busy scooping up money and showing off to the crowd formed by the conga line that he'd almost missed that the rest of his team was battling a group of pegasus-unicorn crossbreeds to the death. "Uh, one moment, folks." He quickly regrouped with the others and clenched his daggers. "Hey, can I keep one as a pet?" He asked NeverBetter as he dodged hooves and horns. "I've always wanted to ride into battle on a horse, it would only be better if it flew and had a deadly horn." He slashed at one's legs as it attempted to crush him under its hooves.

"If we have extra we can go buy one. I know a guy. Bread for sharper horns and compact powerful wings, good for traveling hidden from Archers." NeverBetter replied, skillfully cutting the horn off of one of the mad ponies with a knife, them jamming said knife into the horse's kneecap.

(Small correction here, Nort just had a bruise across his face, no black eye)Nortanort glared at Cap, when he had been asked. "I said, don't ask," he muttered, clearly not wanting to talk about how he got slapped by Lucy. Mostly because he could barely remember what he had done. "Convenient isn't exactly the word I'd use here!" Nortanort yelled, as the pegasi-unicorn crossbreed charged at him. Fortunately, he managed to avoid being gored by it. Unfortunately, however, this was because he had been struck by the magic beam, which had sent him flying. He groaned, as he slowly got up. Then, he turned towards NeverBetter, and said, "You know, I'm the guy with a blunderbuss for a weapon. Firing precisely... isn't my forte," just before lifting his gun up, and firing at the pegasi which had charged him. Which fired cheese, apparently loaded into the gun last night in a drunken stupor. "Have I offended the universe some how?!" he shouted up at the skies, before continuing, "Or have I just angered some mad god?" clearly not happy. (I will be honest, this is the first thing that popped into my head upon reading that:

) Nortanort, for some unknowable reason, pulled a chalice out from under his cloak, and tossed it to Axel. "You'll find this of use, if you manage to complete your crazy task, and capture one of those things," he shouted at Axel, to be heard over the clatter of hooves.

"Probably dosen't help you when the gun can fire cheese. They don't like cheese." NeverBetter groaned. "That's what brought them. Goddammit. Gunpowder and cheese are literally the two least-likeable things to them. This heard must have been near by and smells the offending items!" NeverBetter literally face walled and he punched another deformed horse, knocking it to the ground unconscious. "Why dose this always happen! I though I told myself never go hunting Pegasi with amatures!" The Pegasus attempted to impale NeverBetter, but the steel of jus jacked resisted the blows somewhat. "God..." a slam of his head. The building moaned in protest of having a support beam be smashed by a man with such a hard head. "Firetrucking...." another slam. Another groan from the building, and the wall was looking now quite worse for ware. "Dammit!" Another blow. Then, half the building clasped in on idtelf, missing all but, quite curiously, Soul in the resulting destruction, and killing a large amount of the winged merry-go-round look alikes. The rest of the horses looked around, quite stunned and confused as NeverBetter began smashing his face into the ground, producing cracks in the floor.

Axel was going to help Soul and question why NeverBetter had smashed in the wall, but was too busy being surrounded by the winged beasts.  He continued slashing through them, barely dodging their attacks. "They don't like cheese?" He asked curiously, surprised by their weakness.

NeverBetter stopped mid-destruction to answer the question. "They have a species-based fewd with cows, anything made of milk or beef angers them deeply, but none more than cheese because it's literally fermented dary from a cow and we consume so much of it, yet we refuse to eat their berries and vegetables. Cheese literally is less than horse dung to them and we consume it over their items, a product by the enemy that is disgusting to them but more popular than Elder carrot or Jacon roots, the best foods they can produce." After the elequent statement NeverBetter used to explain, he returned to smashing his face in the ground.

"... Oh. Okay." Axel nodded, now completely understanding of why these horses hated cheese. He returned to his battle now, fully focused now that he'd gained the knowledge he'd desired about his foes.

From the heavens...

 

A cocky, british kid came falling down at the speed of light...

 

And crashed into the ground next to NeverBetter and the Pegasi, creating a crater the size of a football field, throwing everyone off theri feet...

 

From the crater, the man slowly stood up, and wielding a Red Sword, he held it up to the skies as it activated with a blue laser, and he shouted, "I FIGHT FOR MY FEELIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGS!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

He then turned around, facing the weird and crazy NeverBetter who was beating up deformed Pegasi for some reason, and changed his grip on the Monado to a reverse grip, and poised to aim the sword at him. "Now...ITS REYN TIIIIIIIIIIME, BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

 

He hurled the sword at NB and the Pegasi, and it laid there for a minute. Then, the circle in the middle began to light up, changing colors every second, growing faster...and faster...Until finally, it turned to a Dark Red color, and after a long moment of suspense...BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

 

 

The Monado exploded, killing all the Pegasi and sending NeverBetter flying far away. And yet, the Monado was still intact despite this.

 

"Sorry if i'm late to the party, but now i'm feeling it!" This man said, doing a Fist Pump in the direction of the others.

Axel sighed. "Reyn, stop stealing my stuff. It's not cool." He said, somewhat annoyed. "That's not even your own weapon."

Suddenly, all the pegasi were gone in a flash of fire. "Oh, hey reyn." Kev said as he turned to see his friend. "You better hope we can salvage some stuff out of the pegasi corpses, or im gonna blame you for us not getting a base." he looked to NeverBetter. "You good buddy?" he slid his sword into the sheath on his back and walked over to help him up. As he grabbed him he said "Oh also, Never, That amateur comment? Hurtful." he said with a grin. 

Yuffie scratched Her head, standing in a big circle of intact Pegasus corpses with holes in their legs and holes where their eyes should be. Of course, beyond her area of effectiveness, was a huge area of burning horses and smoked feathers. Yuffie twirled her pistols in her hands, before putting them back into the holster. "Y'know Reyn, we were planning to sell those... Not uh, eat them extra crispy." She mentioned, clearly a little distressed at the thought of now enjoying Pegasus wing with bleu cheese and ranch.

Axel sighed. "Reyn, stop stealing my stuff. It's not cool." He said, somewhat annoyed. "That's not even your own weapon."

Reyn grinned as he saw Axel. "Heh, maybe you should've used the Monado before i got here Axel. Besides, you can't stop me now, i'm on a roll, these feelings don't stop."

Reyn rubbed the back of his head sheepish. "Heh, sorry, but i mean, NeverBetter was beating them up, so i figured you guys were trying to take them out or something. Besides, they were ugly buggers anyway, we can find some better looking ones to sell."

 

Suddenly, all the pegasi were gone in a flash of fire. "Oh, hey reyn." Kev said as he turned to see his friend.

Reyn chuckled. "Heh, sorry 'bout that. But hey, you gotta admit, i made a badass entrance, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?"

Kev looked over at yuffie "Oh, nice yuffie! way to go, keeping some intact! and extra crispy pegasus is delicious, so i guess your off the hook reyn." He looked at the number of pegasi yuffie kept. Satisfied with the number, he chuckled a bit and admitted "Yeah it was pretty badass."

"I feel that something very, very wrong has occurred, Neko." Silver murmured, gripping the hilt of his sword. It felt like there was some far off, ungodly explosion that had just happened, and Silver was visibly unnerved. His ears laid down flat, and his tail had (rather adorably) poofed up a bit to showcase his agitation.

"We can save this pie for later. If you don't mind, I'd ask if you'd partner with me so I can figure out what's going on..." Silver looked at Neko with his sole grey eye. His other eye was covered for....reasons.

"If I could get two smaller Monados, I'd be set. Bigger swords don't really work well for me." Axel explained. "Well... At least you helped us take them out. And get dinner." Axel managed to find a few intact pegasi around him. "I've got some that are still good, too. We should have enough."

Axel sighed. "Reyn, stop stealing my stuff. It's not cool." He said, somewhat annoyed. "That's not even your own weapon."

As they moved towards NeverBetter, they found in his jacket a smoldering corpse...

 

He was dead. Dead, consumed in the flames of Reyn. His body smoked deliciously, like a smoked rib plate.

 

The church bells rung. "Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!." The smell of melted chocolate fill the air with a slightly sweet aroma, in this dark hour. Their leader was dead, and Reyn was to blame.

"... Oh. Uh..." Axel looked back at Reyn. "Good job, Reyn. This is what happens when you steal the Monado and make it explode." He glared at his teammate, then looked back at NeverBetter. "So... I take it no one has the means to revive him? I have a backup plan, but it would involve searching the entire planet for seven magical orbs that I have no clue how to find."

(You know, it's somewhat hard not to refer to some of you by your current username. Case in point, I have to stop myself from calling NeverBetter Riki.)

When Nortanort heard what exactly had attracted the pegasi, he facepalmed. "You're joking, right? That can't be possible," he muttered, running around, his gun flailing uselessly behind him. "Right. I'm convinced. The universe hates me," he added, narrowly dodging a pegasi. "How else could you possibly explain these chances?" he asked absolutely no one. 

 

And then NeverBetter facewalled so hard that the building actually collapsed. "Note to self. Do not get on NeverBetter's bad side. At all. Addendum: This includes calling him a hard-head," noted Nort. As if the universe wanted to reinforce his current predicament, a piece of the building bounced off the ground and hit him over the head. He just sighed, having resolved that today was not his day. "And they hate cows. Of course," muttered Nort upon hearing NeverBetter's explanation to Axel. He decided right there and then that sanity was going to get him nowhere today. 

 

And then the universe decided to hammer this into Nort's face, by having Reyn fall from the sky and eventually exploding the remaining pegasi. Nortanort threw his hands up in the air, and walked up to him. "Who were you, again?" asked the agitated Nort. Apparently last night had caused some memory problems. He turned to Yuffie for a few moments to say, "I wonder how they taste..." as he got a semi-brilliant idea. Turning to NeverBetter, he asked, "Do you think these pegasi could ever be edible?" before turning back to Reyn.

 

It should probably be mentioned by now that Nortanort was still very hungry, having no food on him, and with no muffins in his cloak he was a bit cranky. He then said to Reyn, after what he had said to Yuffie, "I wouldn't say they were ugly... but beatuty is in the eye of the beholder, right?" pulling a beholder eye out of his cloak. He then burst into laughter at his horrible joke. 

 

And after all that... NeverBetter ended up dead. Nortanort muttered, "Ding dong, our leader is dead," clearly devastated. He then turned to Axel, and said, "I certainly hope someone has a plan. This is a dangerous line of work."

"... Oh. Uh..." Axel looked back at Reyn. "Good job, Reyn. This is what happens when you steal the Monado and make it explode." He glared at his teammate, then looked back at NeverBetter. "So... I take it no one has the means to revive him? I have a backup plan, but it would involve searching the entire planet for seven magical orbs that I have no clue how to find."

(Find those dragon balls! Watch out for them all!)

"If I could get two smaller Monados, I'd be set. Bigger swords don't really work well for me." Axel explained. "Well... At least you helped us take them out. And get dinner." Axel managed to find a few intact pegasi around him. "I've got some that are still good, too. We should have enough."

Reyn went to the explosion site and picked the Monado back up, and put it to rest on his back. "Aw yes, i've been starving ever since i crashed into the ground!" Then he looked to see...

 

"... Oh. Uh..." Axel looked back at Reyn. "Good job, Reyn. This is what happens when you steal the Monado and make it explode." He glared at his teammate, then looked back at NeverBetter. "So... I take it no one has the means to revive him? I have a backup plan, but it would involve searching the entire planet for seven magical orbs that I have no clue how to find."

Reyn slowly started backing up. "Heh...Sorry guys, i thought he could live through the explosion...Uh..." He quickly grabbed the Monado and whispered "Shield, activate, please." His Body now glowed in a yellow aura.

 

As they moved towards NeverBetter, they found in his jacket a smoldering corpse...He was dead. Dead, consumed in the flames of Reyn. His body smoked deliciously, like a smoked rib plate.The church bells rung. "Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!." The smell of melted chocolate fill the air with a slightly sweet aroma, in this dark hour. Their leader was dead, and Reyn was to blame.

I take it no one has the means to revive him? I have a backup plan, but it would involve searching the entire planet for seven magical orbs that I have no clue how to find."

"Umm, i dont have nay healing magic, so Dragon Balls it is!" he did feel kind of bad about the amateur joke now that NeverBetter was dead, at least temporarily.

"Ooh, ooh, I have one!" Yuffie called towards Shulk. She dug around in her vest pocket and pulled out a small green sphere. "I got this from a... Client. Yeah, let's go with client. Anyway, it is Raise Materia." She said, trying to cover something up. She smiled at the others, and put her hands together, with the Materia inbetween. In a short time, that magic worked........ And then the sphere fell out of her hands and broke on the ground. "Guess it isn't multiuse."

(NB gave me permission on Skype to do this, so don't worry, i'm not breaking the rules)

 

Reyn's eyes widened, as he had an idea. "I'VE GOT IT!" He took out the Monado again and de-activated Shield, and held it out in front of him. "Monado...FINDER!" The Monado's circle then glowed Dark Green and a keypad with letters appeared inside of it. A electronic voice came out from the Monado, saying, "This is the Monado Finder Arte, what would you like to find?" Reyn typed in the words, "Dragon Balls", and instantly the Circle turned into a radar, showing the locations of the balls all over the world. "Now this is the Monado's true power! Finding things for us conveninetly."
