KH : Dreams and Realities

[Imperial Chaos]

As the cold wind blew in Shouten's face, he sniffed the air in search of something with his music blaring.

And the God of Fear...
Who chained me to despa-air...

He smirked slightly as he jumped down from a hill on Destiny Island which was once rich in it's healthy brown grain and clear blue skies and seas. Now, the sand was corrupted with darkness, creating several cracks which a shadow got out of. The sky was now a dark purple with black clouds which held no rain but empty shadows threatening to melt the land it rained on. The sea was now infested with the water elemental Grand Darks. A vicious race but Shouten was in control of them.

As his feet touched the ground, every shadow had stopped in movement. He looked up into the sky and grinned as he found the aura she was looking for. "Asiel...Sleif...Riku...It has started. The Dream has been shattered..."

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

"Asiel...Sleif...Riku...It has started. The Dream has been shattered..."

Suddenly a few feet in front of Shouten, a dark portal appeared on the ground, and from it rose a dark figure.
As the figure walked out of the darkness, it began to make its way towards Shouten, all the while the dark mist that surrounded the figure, slowly began to fall away.

"As it seems!" said Sleif, now with the dark mist completely off his body, showing his true appearance. "The others should arrive soon!" Sleif said, as he stood in front of Shouten, while all the time taking in the darkness that now covered the once pure Destiny Islands.

[Azazel]

"Riku! No!" A voice yelled out, as its hand extended outwards.

Riku couldn't see anything, but an empty black space. He struggled as he raised his hand towards the air. His hand seemed as if it was floating in mid air. But in fact his whole body was submerged in darkness, with his hand the only thing free...

Soon the darkness swallowed him alive. But the dream didn't end there. It was as if a hole opened from below his feet. Riku dropped through the whole, descending at a fastening rate. Soon he was inside of something that seemed familiar.

There was a young girl standing in front of a towering door. Her hands in a defensive position, Keyblade in hand. When Riku stepped closer, he realized that it was Kairi.

The young girl slashed at Riku as he approached.

"Kairi! What are you doing?!" He exclaimed as he stepped to the side, avoiding the girl's attack
"It's me! Riku!"

The girl was unresponsive. She merely followed up with a hailing storm of slashes.

"You're one with the Darkness, now Riku. You must... die!" A different voice came from behind Riku. A voice similar to the one from the beginning of the dream

"Sora...!" Riku yelled as he turned to realize that the young boy was standing behind him.

A quick slash to the back by Kairi forced Riku to his knees

Holding out his hand, a Keyblade appeared in Sora's hand.
"Goodbye...Ansem" Sora said as he lifted his blade, simultaneous to Kairi

Before their deadly attack collided with Riku's body, a shadow from below him swallowed him up with haste. Before Riku submerged into the ground he heard a voice whisper to him

"We are now one..."

---

Riku's eyes slowly opened, revealing a girl around the same age as him standing over him

"You had the dream again, didn't you?" The girl said as she watched him
"Yeah..." He responded as he sat up

"Asiel...Sleif...Riku...It has started. The Dream has been shattered..."

Asiel's eyes widened as the words echoed in her ears

"Time to go..." Riku stated as he rose to his feet

Riku took a few steps. Suddenly a black smoke started to take over Riku's body. In a matter of seconds, he vanished in the smoke. A noisy crack, along with the sound of surging electricity burst out in his exit.

Asiel scoffed as she helped her hands by her side. Soon a puddle of snakes emerged from under her clothes and formed under her. After a moment they coiled up her body and twisted around her, like a tree. Soon she was fully submerged in snakes. The snake pile started to decrease and decrease until it was completely gone. Along with Asiel.

---

"You guys always make a mess wherever you go..." Asiel said as she submerged from the ground, covered in snakes. She scanned the area, noticing the numerous Grand Darks that were along the horizon

A crackle broke the silence, as a black smoke appeared before the group, with Riku stepping out of it

"Gangs all here.."Riku smirked as he finished his sentence

OOC: We all know each other, I presume...?

[TheDood]

00C; Very confused on where to come in, so I will read a bit more before making a fool of myself ;)

[Imperial Chaos]

OOC : Yes. Us Darkness know each other.

IC : Shouten smirked in their direction, his fingers pressing the buttons of his mp3 rapidly. "Yes. Everyone's here...As you know Sora and Kairi are now travelling in search of us and locking up the keyholes as we speak. Our job for now is to unlock the keyholes and crowd them with Grand Darks. With their corruptive powers, the Worlds will slowly fall to Oblivion."

Shouten walked past them and held his hands out, facing the sea. "I want to see this Universe crumble with our hands....under our rule..."

[TheDood]

Rusty walked around the corner of an alleyway with his arms wrapped around himself giving slight shivers. His teeth were rattling in short bursts as he looked around at the sight around him. "Man, I really hate this.. why am I so cold?" he asked himself under his breath. He looked up and stared at the sky for a moment before looking down to the ground as he continued to walk on towards the beach. "I really do hate being this cold..." he said once more.

[INCALORA]

Elsewhere, Incalora woke up to the sounds of nothing. He felt...oddly light drifting. When he finally came to his sense he noticed that the ocean seemed dark....too dark. He then noticed all the corruption surrounding him, but odly enought the place where he was resting still seemed to be uncorrupted.

He then decided he wanted to check things out and so he went to Sora's secret place (which was easy to find oddly). While going in he stumbled upon something. He looked closer to see what it was and it turned out to be an egg that was half white and black. Instantly he was drawn to the egg and picked it up and placed it in his hood.

[Azazel]

"...Sugoiiiiiiiii!"
"You looked so cool like that, Sho-kun! Like someone from an Anime!" Asiel giggled as she stared at Shouten

"Which Keyhole will be first?" Riku added on, questioning Shouten. In all reality, he'd rather wait at the last Keyhole for Sora and Kairi. That way he could simply destroy them both at the same time. But of course, spreading a little darkness throughout various worlds couldn't hurt...

PPC: Didn't have much to go on...

[sephiroth2]

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

"Which Keyhole will be first?" Sleif heard Riku say, as he was feeling the darl energy around him. "Do you have one in mind?" asked Sleif as he turned around, now facing Riku.
"We know, that you want to destroy both Sora and Kairi! And by spreading darkness to as many worlds as possible, the more chances in meeting them will increase!" Sleif finished, as he returned in taking in the dark energy of the island.

[Azazel]

"Hmph..." Riku sighed as he shrugged.
"I really don't have any idea as to their whereabouts, so it'd be pretty useless for me to choose..."

"Oooh! How about we go to Underworld first?" Asiel said as she jumped in Sleif's face. Referring to his obviously 'dark' attitude, Underworld fit him well.

"Or how about we go to Hollow Bastion?!" She said, now at Riku.
"Maybe Sora and Kairi are there!"

"Or how about we just sit here with these little shits..." She started as she pointed to a Grand Dark

"....and stare at the ****ing sky all day!" Sarcasm had taken over her volume. She was getting impatient. For too long they had done nothing, while Sora and Kairi had become that much closer to closing all of the Keyholes. Not to mention their teamwork had to have gotten better...

OOC: Lol, I'll let Shouten choose. He seems like the 'leader' anyway...

[Imperial Chaos]

OOC : *shrugs* I dunno. I just type what I felt like. xD

IC : "...Sugoiiiiiiiii!"
"You looked so cool like that, Sho-kun! Like someone from an Anime!"

Shouten's face almost burned up at that, keyword being almost. He sighed slightly as the three bickered on which to go. On one hand, going to the Underworld sounds like a good idea. The place was practically a breeding ground for those of the Dark. While, going to Radiant Garden means a higher chance of meeting Sora and Kairi.

Which to choose....Which to choose...
"Or how about we just sit here with these little shits....and stare at the ****ing sky all day!"

If you wanna battle then I take it to the street
Where there's no rules
Take off the gloves ref please step down
Gotta prove my skillz so get down
My lyrical dempsey roll about to smack down now

As his favourite song came up, he could just go with the most rational thought. Split up, of course! "I've decided. We're going to both sites in teams. I'll be heading to Radiant Garden. I have a little score to settle with Kairi-san. Sleif, I'm leaving you in charge of eliminating Hades. Asiel-chan, who will you go with? Riku-kun, On one hand, you could settle a score with Sora or you could go and corrupt the UNderworld some more and turn into...something more evil? Lord knows, Hades is getting old and even a god has his or her limits, no?"

[sakurablossom07]

Kairi was running on a road that seemed endless. She had her keyblade on one hand and was running away from something. Suddenly, she felt a presence following behind her. Looking back, she saw a figure that seemed so familiar to her. Kairi stopped to see the figure as it was getting closer and closer to her. She gasped as she saw Riku, holding his keyblade and getting ready to attack her.

"Riku, what's wrong? It's me Kairi," she said.

He didn't seem to respond to her as he kept coming at her with attacks. Kairi tried to fight him back but he was too strong for her. She fell back onto the ground. Riku held his weapon high as he was getting ready to strike it.

Kairi opened her eyes wide open, to find herself at Merlin's house. She felt sweat all over her face. She closed her eyes once more, remembering the dream of Riku.

"That dream...what's going on?" she asked herself.

[Wasilis]

Sora leaned his back against the white wall of a building. He had left Kairi alone at Merlin's House. She was sleeping, so he didn't want to wake her up. He glared at the sky. The day was sunny, with not a fluffy, white cloud overpassing the blazing sun. "I wonder if it is okay that we left Riku behind...!" he thought as he kept looking at the sky. "If something bad happens and he...! Nevermind!" he stopped thinking. After all this journey was something like vacation so he should have fun and not pondering over things! "I am sure that all are going to be okay! After all if a new threat appears at Destiny Islands, Riku is a skillful fighter and he can overcome any danger!"

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

After many minutes of wandering around Radiant Garden, Sora decided to head back to Merlin's House. "Kairi should be awake by now!" he muttered in a tone only he could hear and he pushed the door of the house without first knocking. The door opened and Sora stepped inside Merlin's House.

[sakurablossom07]

Kairi continued thinking about the dream she had of Riku. She was confused of why Riku would attack her like that when they were friends. Then, the thought of something happeneing to Riku appeared in her thoughts. Looking over to the door, she saw Sora walking in. Kairi quickly wiped the sweat off her face and stood up to greet him.

"Sora, are you okay? You seem to be filled with lots of thoughts," she said, looking at his expression.
"Maybe you should rest a bit?" Kairi suggested.

She knew Sora was thinking about Riku. Out of everyone else, Sora was always the one who worried about Riku the most. Kairi didn't like the idea of having Riku as their enemy, just like in her dream.

[Azazel]

"Sora..." Riku thought to himself

Oh how long I've been waiting to finally destroy them. Conflicting with what Riku said about destroying the both of them at the same time, he came to a decision

"I'll go to the Underworld with Sleif. Kairi and Sora together might be a bit much... and I don't think that now's the time for us to encounter.... not just yet... besides, I can use a warm-up" He said, rotating his arm[/color]

"Looks like it's me and you, Sho-chan.." Asiel said as she petted the head of a snake that coiled up her shoulder
"Just make sure that it won't turn into a Grand Dark parade, as soon as we get to Radient Garden...

...Sora-kun...Kairi-chan....Sora-kun...Kairi-chan...
Asiel sung as she spun in a circle

"Oh! Riku-kun. Will you hate me if I kill them?" She added, sarcastically as she stuck her tongue out, just teasing him.
