When he turned around Tora saw the others gone. "They left without me" he said then he ran out the room to the exit. Tora ran outside & looked around for an escape but he found nothing. After a few mins passed Tora got a great idea, he walked over to the gate until the guards stopped him "Hey where do u think you're going?" one of them asked. "I dropped something outside the gate" Tora lied the guard spoke to the other guard then he said "Make it quick" then they opened the gate. Tora dashed to the other side as fast as he could without looking back or stopping " Hey come back" the guard shouted but Tora kept running.

Sleif watched as Sylfae disappeared from sight, after asking the question about Kingdom Hearts. Sleif himself was about to go, when he suddenly felt the presence of someone quite close.
"Who could that be?" Sleif thought as he turned slightly around, watched as the person came running up, from the direction of the base.

[Shadows Fall]

Heartless began to spawn all about the decayed streets of Manhattan, Derick running by each and everyone of those that stood his way. They began to follow, different types of Heartless alike. The standard Shadows, the Heartless Soldiers, and Fat Bodies. But there were also a new batch that made an appearance but these took flight. They were called Wyverns and they had more of a dragon-like appearance to them with red scales and a Heartless insignia on their stomachs. Several of them appeared within the gray skies, focusing and looming in on Derick who refused to stay and fight in order to seal the Keyhole that lied in the Statue of Liberty.

However, when Derick had looked over his shoulder, off in the distance he could see Tora.

"Tora! What are you doing here?!" shouted the Keybearer as he couldn't stop due to the large amount of Heartless that were behind him. "Get back to the base, now! I don't want you to get hurt!"

[Skitty Cat]

OOC: Okay I think I've got something. *casts Full-Life on the rp* Live master RP live!

IC: Tenshi had wandered down seven or eight different corridors now, growling as she passed another familiar picture, she punched the wall leaving a dent. Pulling her hand away she looked around, struggling to think of something, something that she should know to look out for.... Heartless! Whipping around she saw the mouth a second before it flew at her head.

Dodging to the left she snarled, "Oui eteud!"

Seeing the afended look in it's eyes, she listened to the creature's mutters, Tenshi glared at it when it retorted, "Oayr, famm, yd maycd E's hud dra haf get!" (remember this is Al Bhed language)

Rage flaring in her eyes, she held herself back from retorting with something that could seriously get her in trouble. Hanging her in defeat she murmured sourly, "Cu, fru lyna'c ev E ys, yd maycd E's hud yh ycc."

OOC: That's it I'm sorry that it's so short. *bows apologticly than scurries off*

Draco eventually recovered from the ordeal that had befallen him several hours earlier. Draco walked outside and notived that a lot of his friends weren't around. He walked up to a guard and asked "Hey have you seen my friends around, most of them are around my age".

"Yeah a lot of them just ran out of the base, pretty forcefully too." One guard said.

"What the- What the hell would they do that for?" Draco asked in a slightly demanding voice. "One of them said something about the Statue of liberty and something being there" the second guard responded.
"Dammit! I got to go after them!" Draco exclaimed.

"But wait! Are you are right, you seemed pretty knocked up when you first got here" One guard said. "I was just dehydrated, that's all" Draco responded. "Well at least take some supplies with you" the second guard said.

"Fine then" Draco replied. He ran over to the provisions tenet and grabbed a few bottles of water and a few snacks before re-approaching the gate. "All right, I got the supplies" Draco said showing the bag full of supplies. "Well all right then, but most of them only had their blades with them, you going to be right with a blade as well?" The first guard asked.

"I got more than just my blade" Draco said as he showed him his personal collection of guns. "Woah! That's quite an arsenal you got there!" The second guard said. "Yeah well my dad was an expert marksman, he tuaght me lots about guns and how to use them" Draco said. "He should've joined us in the army! We might've had a better chance if he was around. The second guard added.

"Yeah..." Draco said as his voice trailed off. "Well kid, you seem capable enough, so go on, just make sure you can back in one piece you hear?" The first guard said. "Sure thing" Draco said as he began heading in the direction of the statue that another guard told him the location of.

He headed through the desert of the city that once was before he reached a clearing of sorts. He saw two figures standing surrounded by heartless, Draco was able to identify them as Derick and Tora. "At least I found two of them, considering the circumstances. "All right, time to show a little trick I learned..." Draco said he summoned his light handguns.

"Meteor Shower!" Draco yelled as he fired several charged bullets which turned into beams of light. The beams then split into several more beams which then came crashing down on several heartless, including a few wyverns destroying them. Draco grabbed his Assault rifle and began firing as he ran towards where Derick and Tora were.

"Hey guys, need help?" Draco said as he scored a few headshots.

[Akans]

Sylfae slipped out of the dark corrider she created, to appear next to Sleif on the Statue of Liberty.
"Hmm.. It looks lilke things are finally heating up. The keybearers have finally come. About time." She said, rolling her eyes.
"I'll slow them down a bit. It should be interesting to see how strong these new keybladers are..."

She then created another dark corrider, and stepped inside, to appear in front of Draco, blocking him from Tenshi and Derick.

"You can help them by surviving," She said with a grin on her face, and summoned her Antiblade.
"Die!" Sylfae said, lunging at Draco.

[sephiroth2]

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

"Hmm.. It looks lilke things are finally heating up. The keybearers have finally come. About time." Sleif listened as Sylfae said this, while also rolling her eyes.
"Yes, it took them quite longer then expected!" Sleif replied.

"I'll slow them down a bit. It should be interesting to see how strong these new keybladers are.." "Enjoy!" Sleif said, just before he watched Sylfae create another corridor of darkness, and disappeared from his sight.

"Lets see them deal with this little teaser!" Sleif said with a slight grin, as he raised his right hand in front of him, calling forth a large number of Neo-Shadows. "Go on!" Sleif motioned for the heartless to go ahead, causing them to break into a charge at the two keybladers.

[Shadows Fall]

OOC: For the record Akans, Tenshi's no longer with Derick or the others. She's in Hollow Bastion with Maleficent. Unless you meant to say Tora. But I just wanted to clear that up for you.

"Die!" shouted a familiar voice as it turned out that Sylfae had lunged over to Draco's direction and attempted to strike him down with one swift an Antiblade.

"That's what you think!" Derick had shouted as he quickly lunged over to Draco's direction as well, stepping in front of him with the Messer Ultimatum held up in front of him; thus blocking Sylfae's Antiblade. He shot a glare at her as he pushed her back away from his comrade with the assault rifle. He looked over his shoulder and cocked an eyebrow at Draco, whispering, "I still have yet to know how you managed to learn how to use something like that in such a short time." before turning his attention back to Sylfae who now appeared to be an enemy rather than a friend.

"So, it seems like you're against us now, huh Sylfae?" Derick questioned as it seemed very obvious at this point. But after he had asked the question, he noticed that the Heartless behind her looked as if they were backing off. It was almost as if they were afraid upon seeing the Messer Ultimatum just like how they reacted back on Destiny Island. Glancing back over at Draco from over his shoulder, he said, "Draco, you and Tora should head over to the Statue of Liberty. I'll try to hold them off as much as I can and try to meet up with you two later, okay?"

However, they were soon interrupted by another new batch of Heartless called Neo-Shadows. These were similar to their Shadow counterpart but were much taller and their antennas were much longer. Their claws were more extensive as well as they had more of a reach for when they attack. They began to spawn around the group of 'heroes' as Derick grunted out of anger. "Hurry!" he exclaimed, hoping that Draco would listen.

[Akans]

OOC: Eh. That's what I meant. Its just that you and Tenshi are together most of the time, so I instinctively typed Tenshi. And it doesn't help that Tenshi and Tora both start with T.

IC: Sylfae frowned at Derick's comment.
"I am neither against you nor for you. I have my own things to complete, even if my methods are questionable. If you wish to attempt to stop me, then by all means try. I will cut you down like the others."

She noticed the Neo-Shadows that started to spawn around them, and sighed.
"Sleif... I'm trying to do something here, please don't interfere." She mumbled to herself, and swung her Antiblade in an arc, cutting down the Neo-Shadows closest to them, while the more distant ones were cut to pieces by the winds. The rest moved back, and moved towards the others.

"Now. Just us two. How romantic." Sylfae grinned, baring her teeth, and shot towards Derick, initiating a modified Ars Arcanon move, swinging her blade in a complicated series of attacks, finishing with a low slash towards the knees and an uppercut.

[Shadows Fall]

Derick had saw that the Heartless retreated, now focusing on the others rather than he and Sylfae. His lips curled into a grin as he heard her speak, stating a rather smart remark.

"Why yes. It's so romantic, don't you think so?" he questioned rhetorically with a hint of sarcasm. However, he shouldn't have spoken so soon as Sylfae lunged towards his direction with a series of swift slashes from her Antiblade. Sure, Derick had to admit, he did have trouble with guarding the areas she aimed for as he then lowered the Messer Ultimatum to his knees and blocked the last strike only to have her bring up the Antiblade for an uppercut strike. This didn't harm him but only caused him to be air born, maneuvering himself in the air so that he had performed a backflip and landed safely on the ground. Standing up straight, Derick snapped his neck to the side and shook his shoulders to release any tension as he shook his head afterwards.

"Was that it? C'mon Sylfae, that was weak. Everyone knows that I excel in swordplay combat, why else do you think no one could have beaten me back on Destiny Island? Though. . . I have to admit, you do pose as a good challenger." said Derick as he dashed towards Sylfae for a counterattack, swinging his Keyblade vertically to cause the blade of her weapon to be pressed against the ground as he followed up with a shoulder thrust to her chest. Afterwards, he leaped back and upon doing so, threw the Messer Ultimatum as if it were a boomerang. When it had came back to his grasp, Derick performed the same tactic and threw it at her once more.

[Dragonstar1715]

Just as Draco had finished off a heartless, Sylfae appeared in front of him. "Sylfae! What are you doing here?" Draco asked, his only response was "Die!" as she lunged at him. "Ahhh!" Draco said as he fell back and watched a blade come towards him.

Just then Derick appeared to block the hit "That's what you think!" he yelled as he was doing so. Derick then looked at Draco and said "I still have yet to know how you managed to learn how to use something like that in such a short time."

"Long story..." Draco said not really wanting to mention his father. A conversation then began between Derick and Sylfae, Derick then said "Draco, you and Tora should head over to the Statue of Liberty. I'll try to hold them off as much as I can and try to meet up with you two later, okay?".

"But what about you?" Draco asked, "Just do it! Hurry!" Derick said again. "Okay then fine" Draco said as he ran towards the statue, with Tora to make his own way there.

[Akans]

Sylfae finished her combination attack, as Derick backflipped away.
"Was that it? C'mon Sylfae, that was weak. Everyone knows that I excel in swordplay combat, why else do you think no one could have beaten me back on Destiny Island? Though. . . I have to admit, you do pose as a good challenger.
With that, Derick quickly counterattacked by pinning her weapon to the ground, and then striking her in the chest with his shoulder.
It hurt.

Derick then proceeded to throw his keyblade at her. She ducked under the first one, and it spiraled around her and landed in Derick's grasp, but not before clipping her slightly in the shoulder.
Derick readied himself for his next attack, and threw it at her again

"Time to end this!" Sylfae said.
Heartbreak! Sylfae swung her Antiblade at the incoming keyblade. Upon connection, her Antiblade smashed straight through the keyblade, leaving nothing but a thin wisp of smoke in its place.

Sylfae grinned. "Swordplay is your strength. Winning is mine." She held up her hand, and released a small hurricane that shot straight towards Derick.

OOC: I'd like to note that I did not completely destroy your keyblade.

[Roxas9001]

After a lot of running Tora made it into the dark street of the city. While walking around he saw many things, Tora walked very slow to check out his surroundings. Out of the blue Tora heard a noise behind
him he quickly turned around but no one was there "I might be hearing things" he said then Tora saw
something else but this time it had a body & was moving very fast "Hey come back here!" Tora shouted
He chased the unknown thing threw out the ruined area until he came to a dead end "What!?" "I know that it was something here" he said while Tora was looking at the wall the neoshadow appeared behind
him & attacked. Tora was pushed to the ground by the heartless then he summoned his Keyblade &
counter attacked when he got up, "I knew it was something here" he said "I wonder where I have to go"
Tora said to himself

[sephiroth2]

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

Sleif sat upon the broken arm, of the Statue of Liberty, looking out across the destroyed wasteland of the area.
He could see Sylfae fighting against someone, possible Derick or Draco, as well as the remaining two coming towards his location.

The Neo-Shadows were rampaging everywhere, attacking anything in sight. "It shouldn't be long now!" Sleif thought, as he continued sitting on the statues arm.

[Shadows Fall]

Derick eyes widened when his attack had failed, watching as Sylfae managed to counter in her own way by colliding her blade with his which had caused it to reduce to nothing but a mere wisp of smoke. It had not been destroyed but only struck hard enough to dismiss the Keyblade itself. Alas, it was such a false and foolish move to get too cocky at a time like this for that the boy treated this as a simple training session rather than a serious fight. Bad move, don't you think so?

A miniature hurricane had been summoned and released towards his direction. With quick reflexes and as his only means of defense, Derick attempted to re-summon his Keyblade in time before the hurricane had come into contact with it but to no avail. It was far too late as gust of winds brought from the hurricane itself had blown Derick back a few feet, causing him to slide on the concrete with his back before coming to a complete stop.

"Yep. . . shouldn't have gotten cocky. . ." the keybearer noted to himself, standing up slowly and summoning the Messer Ultimatum upon doing so. All he could do was simply grin at Sylfae when he had finally got on his own two feet again. "Not bad. . . I see you have a few tricks up your sleeves but you think a little wind can stop me?"
