Axtwyt

Long and short of it is this: Corrin, Magus, Ruddy and Xion are running away from Caius, Schala and Xathan. The four are currently at Lufenia. Ace is making his way to Lufenia, Elia and Terra are at Whisperwind Cove, searching for Ven , Aqua and Schala. Johnny, Lightning, Mog, Aqua and Link are at Elfheim/Elven Castle, seeking other warriors of Cosmos. They are also seeking their crystals and summonstones to defeat Xathan, who recently defeated them. Locke and Gau are still at the Western Keep. The Warrior of Light, Noel, Elsa and Ven have just met Genesis, at Sanctuary (Cornelia on the map)

I find the lack of theme song... disturbing...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2J5Oifxp7w

(Took me a second, but I got it) Corrin smiled, a bit of luck as always. He had always seemed to be the underdog, tasked with missions, underprepared and with little allies. But now, he had an advantage. Four allies with him, in an arena that, should they be confronted, would help them keep their opponents on their toes. It wasn't long before the group of Johnny, Lightning, Aqua, Link and Mog ended up at a mighty castle, with a small town surrounding it (Elfheim/Elven Castle). Johnny looked around before telling his companions, "Do you guys want to split up for a bit? Search the town, see if any other of our allies have made it this far?" --------------- Elia looked to what she could only assume was his eyes, "You can't blame yourself. The heart is treacherous, and often times, it leads us to ruin." Looking away from Terra, she continued, "Power isn't all it's cracked up to be, either. You start chasing power, it's all you'll end up wanting. I've seen too many people ruin their lives by chasing power." Looking down, she pointed out a patch of land, "That looks like a good place to land." "Go then," Chaos commanded. "If you wish to assist him, then you may." Chaos leaned forward in his throne, "But do you honestly think the group you meet will give up the location of their allies? You judge them a bit too much like yourself, Caius."

Scrap, you're approved.Shun, Genesis is good to go!

You can have an OC, just try not to make them too overpowered.

It's totally fine. You do you. We're doing our best to give everyone their chance to post and catch up with the story.

Caius is approved!

Golbez finished with one last statement, "Know this...the one you fought not long ago is now pursueing the ones who destroyed the portal. Should he find you as well, he will not hesitate to kill you." Johnny looked at his group once again. Mog, Aqua, Link and Lightning, all traveling together again. The rest would apparently stay behind for a bit longer."We're heading down to the mountain range to the southeast," Johnny said, pointing at Mt. Gulg and its surrounding mountains. "If you guys decide you want to catch up, head that way."As the group set off, Johnny couldn't help but ask, "Everyone up for a little adventure?"--------------Corrin, Magus, Xion and Ruddy had thus far made it out to Lufenia, where they had stopped to rest. The castle, filled with gears and strange design, could make for an excellent hiding place.Corrin could not help but ask Ruddy, "So, what made you turn against Chaos?"--------------Elia looked away slightly, "Your...darkness? What does that mean, exactly?"

It started rather funny, then ceased to be so.I wanted it to make more fun of the opening...

Chaos looked at the two who had just approached. Caius and Schala.Caius was untrustworthy with his silver tongue, but he was getting results with Schala. Schala had appeared to be going the route of the traitors."Might I tell you, fair Princess of Zeal, what disobedience will do to you here? Or shall you explain that to the traitors?" Chaos' mighty hand reached out to Schala, stroking her cheek, "I would hate to destroy such a beautiful form." He finished by dragging his index claw down her jawline, "But do not think I will hesitate. You WILL fight for me, lest you too should suffer my wrath."Chaos leaned back into his chair to address Caius, "Caius, since you know so much about the traitors, I will give you the assignment to take care of them as they run. They have split up; a group led by Corrin, and two more who are venturing deep into Cosmos' domain. I will leave it to you to determine which group you will take care of."

"A portal to another dimension," Golbez said, a little worry coming through his voice. "One of our number found a way to that dimension, where they found a race of crystal beings, able to replicate the actions of other beings. He began to twist them into soldiers bent on serving the will of Chaos. Alas, they have been stopped from coming through, but some still remain."-----------Corrin jumped at the sound of the voice. His treachery had already been found out."We have to get out of here," Corrin said to the others. "NOW."

Golbez looked away from the boy ever briefly, "I know not what the others plan, but they have already betrayed Chaos by destroying a portal to an army." Golbez looked back at the boy, "I, however, walk only as close as I can, guiding those of you who wish to find their destiny in this world."-----------Chaos looked down on the boy, "There is no plan. There is only the conflict. I have summoned them here to fight, not to refuse my call to action." Chaos sat back down in his throne, "If you wish to find your target, then I suggest you get going." Corrin laughed a bit at Xion. It made him think of his two younger sisters; Elise in Nohr and Sakura in Hoshido..."It's alright, Xion," Corrin said, trying to comfort her. "I'm still learning all this myself. It looks like we're either walking or we're using the same trick Ruddy used before."-----------Johnny had just about recovered and was ready to move out when he saw Lightning approach, "What's up?""Those freaks pretty much showed us the door last time," Lightning said, returning her gunblade to its holster. "I'm ready for a rematch."Johnny laughed a bit, "As much as I want to agree, we're no match against that dragon. We either need to find some crystals, or we need to find more summonstones." Johnny threw the Ifrit stone slightly in the air, "Ifrit here's just a bit burnt out after Hellfire didn't seem to work.""So, where to next?" Light asked."Our only option is to move down the coast and go around the long way," Johnny stated pointing to the south. "I don't think I can manage bringing everyone over the mountain again." Johnny looked over to Aqua and the other warriors, "Who else is coming with? Light and I are moving out."-----------While flying, Elia had noticed something strange about Terra, much less about the other warriors of Chaos. Why had Chaos picked them? They were just way too nice."So...do you know why exactly Chaos picked you?" Elia asked, still holding on to the man clad in armor.

"Not really," Johnny turned back towards Aqua, glad that she seemed to get it. "If I'm looking, I'll find it. Otherwise, I just pick up little bits and pieces. All I really know is that something strange happened when you and Terra tried for some marking of masters and that he was struggling with some inner darkness."

Golbez crossed his arms, "I do not know. It appears as if Chaos picks only strong individuals, while Cosmos picks the strong of heart. There are some of us who wish not to fight another's war for them. I am one of those." ---------- Chaos smiled as he stood up and walked closer to the boy, "It appears that some of them have gathered at the castle in the Sandsea to the east. There are two who are flying away as we speak." Finally, some decent luck, Corrin thought as Ruddy joined their little party. "Corrin, Prince of Nohr," he reintroduced. Corrin always seemed to have a good effect around people. But he was mostly just glad to get another comrade on their side. As Xion climbed on Corrin's back, Corrin could only look at her and wonder aloud, "What exactly are you doing? I may be able to turn into a dragon, but I cannot fly!" Shoot, Johnny thought. Someone's already broken the code. "Let me try to explain..." Johnny started, trying to carefully pick his words. "I've got this ability, more of a quirk. I can see people's memories. It's like putting me into whatever scene your mind is creating." Johnny looked at Aqua, trying to deduce whether she thought this was weird or not. He continued, "It's like being an actor in a play. I sort of just appear in the memory as the person remembering it, acting as they did, but being aware of everything going on." Johnny looked away, "Probably sounds just a little too weird, huh?"

Done and done, Yessie!

Golbez let out a small chuckle, "Only in a manner. Indeed, I was summoned to fight for Chaos, but there are some among us who do not wish to fight. My name is Golbez."----------Chaos sat back in his throne, "And you expect me to not have known such things? It would have been better if you had brought me news of the traitors in our midst."

Chaos leaned forward to Xathan."Our great troublemaker approaches my throne. What news do you bring, whelp?"------------(Taking control of Golbez for a bit)The man in black had watched the past battle from afar.I had hoped the fighting would have not already started.As he watched, he noticed one in particular, a boy in black, holding cards.This one shows promise and heart.Golbez continued to watch as the battle ended with the group vanishing and the summoned dragon destroying what was left. He then noticed the boy with the cards wander off for unknown reasons.Troubling, indeed. Why does he wander? Golbez appeared behind the boy as he began to wander through the Land of Discord, "What is it that you seek?"

Superior, approved!

Elia stepped forward from the group, "I will go with you, Terra. You'd be safer with a healer anyway."She turned back to Corrin, "Stay safe. I worry what the other warriors of Chaos will do if they find you."Corrin regarded her, taking her hand, "Don't worry about me. You two go find our friends."Elia stepped on the glider, "Alright, I'm ready."----------Johnny could see the concern in her eyes. Her friend could be here too, and more than likely her enemy by nature.Johnny leaned over, "You know, I have a theory about those crystal warriors. Since there was a crystal version of me, maybe it has the same powers as me. It could have replicated after seeing the memories of Terra."

Noel took a few steps back from Elsa, who was rapidly spiraling out of control. Noel had brought her here to keep her safe, and she was beginning to tear the house down!Noel drew his two swords and held them out defensively, calling out to Elsa "Don't do this! Please!"-----------Locke had just gathered inventory on his own equipment as he noticed Mog and Gau sitting nearby.Locke strolled up to the two and sat down between them, "Hey fellas! Hasn't been too long since our last outing, eh?"

Gabranth limped away from Sanctuary. Another day, he would have continued to fight, but that woman's power was too much, too erratic.Perhaps his fate may change. He might continue on in this world.------------Corrin looked at the vehicle Terra had summoned (or rather, transformed?) and casually joked, "I don't think we'll all fit on that thing."Corrin then looked over at Ruddy, "I hadn't asked you. Will you join us?"----------As Johnny lay, recovering from both the battle and the escape, he looked over to Aqua. She seemed in a bit of shock since the battle."I saw it too, you know. The crystal Terra."

Gabranth combined his swords and proceeded to use the weapon to lean on, "Do not fear your power. It is only a flesh wound. I shall heal." Gabranth addressed the Warrior, "May I leave now? I have disgraced myself in battle."

Corrin back-tracked with Terra, "I mean, they could be here. I saw a few from the gathering with Chaos, I assume they're all warriors."Corrin then looked to Magus, "We will go with you. We could find Aqua and Ventus as well." Looking then to Xion and Terra, Corrin asked them, "Will you two join us?"----------Gabranth looked up at the Warrior, "I fight to atone for what I could not do. My homeland was taken, and I could not save it. I was brought here to be a tool. I merely do my duty." Gabranth removed his helmet and looked to the woman who accosted him, "I would leave you, if not for the warrior before me and the injury you have given me."-------------Johnny chuckled at the Moogle's remark, "Thanks." He sighed as he collapsed to the ground, "Looks like we'll have to take the long way around if we want to get back. I doubt I'll be able to do that again."Looking at everyone around, Johnny saw a new face, a man with white hair. He had appeared late into the battle."Everyone all right? We've got some time to rest before we wander the world."

Corrin ran over to Terra, "What? Who do you see?" Corrin looked down upon two crystal faces, one of a young lady, the other, a teenaged boy, no older than him."Your friends?"

Johnny smiled back at the boy."All the time in the world, kid."Johnny clicked his heels once more, activating the Flow once again.Johnny kicked up into the air, then kicked off the boy to launch over the spears in the air and back down to the ground.Johnny hit the ground evenly and proceeded to sprint across the battlefield, grabbing everyone he could and lining them back up."We're getting out of here, everyone!"One by one, the group was run over to the south, to a ruined city of metal.Johnny had just gotten Lightning, the last of the group, over the mountain as Bahamut unleashed Giga Flare.---------------Elia and Kain looked at each other, then Elia answered, "None have I seen that looks like this. If she is here, on this world, I know not who she is with."-------------Gabranth lay at the mercy of the Warrior, "Strike me down, now. My life is forfeit. I have failed the one who summoned me."
