Kingdom Hearts [II-II]-- Keybearer of Love

[Shadows Fall]

"An what do you say in all of this, Derick?"

Derick had his head bowed this entire time even when Mic had been speaking to him. Apparently he had a new ally but for the sake of evil, as in against his friends including Sakura. He lifted up his gaze just a tad bit so that they now laid upon Sleif.

"What do you want for me to do. . ."

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

Sora paced around once more, wondering how on Earth he and the rest of the gang can travel to wherever their friend could be. He was lost in a deep train of thought until he had been snapped back into reality upon hearing Sakura's question.

"Sora? Are you going to help?"

"Huh? Oh! Of course I will. Why wouldn't I?" replied the Keybearer of Light. He gave his friend a smirk and placed both hands on her shoulders. "We'll find him, trust me." he told her as he then backed away from her. Placing his hand underneath his chin and began to ponder about their means of transportation. Sure, it would have been a ease to travel around in one of Cid's or his loyal companions, Donald's and Goofy's gummi ships but now they all resided in Radiant Garden. So how were they all supposed to even find Derick now without anything to travel with? Unless. . .

"You guys - Can you travel threw the Corridors of Darkness?" asked Sakura, mentioning a certain way of traveling.

"That's it!" Sora exclaimed, wondering if both he and Kairi's Nobodies could spawn and create the Corridors of Darkness for them to enter in. "Do you think it's possible to create one, Roxas?"

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

"What do you want for me to do. . ." Derick replied back to Sleif, his gaze fixed on him now. Upon seeing this, a slight grin appeared on Sleifs face, knowing that Derick had fully excepted his fate and destiny.
"Quite an exceptionable answer!" Sleif said to Derick, before turning his gaze on Mic for a second.

"Now, we're going to see a very old friend of mine! I trust yous would like to come!" said Sleif as he turned and walked away from the two, opening and stepping through a dark portal, which appeared from the darkness.

From the other side, Sleif walked out of the portal, seeing him standing in front of an incredible large tower, which was entirely covered in dark thorns and vines.
"Well, she didn't waste any time I see!" Sleif said to himself, remarking on the redecorated tower.

Deciding to enter the tower, Sleif walked towards its front entrance, leaving the dark portal open behind him.

[Emorene]

OOC: Sephiroth2, do you wish to control Diablo or should I? You control Maleficent, and Diablo is Maleficent's bird, but Diablo is with Emorene and the others currently. Also, I only have one character. Who should control him?


Emorene passed through a Corridor of Darkness that brought him back inside the cave with the others. With his sword now with him, Emorene felt that he was ready for anything that would soon face them. He knew what he needed to do now, and he was willing to fight for his goal. He walked over to Namine and said, "You may keep the dagger for as long as you need it. I have another weapon at my disposal. What have I missed, Namine?" Emorene felt the most at ease when he spoke to Namine compared to the othere. He himself did not know exactly why this was, but he assumed that it was that he could relate to her the best. Roxas and Namine were both Nobodies, and Emorene, being part Nobody, could relate to their knoweledge that they were never meant to exist. Knowing that he didn't truly have a heart was a terrible fact that Emorene had to face every day. Unlike Roxas, though, Namine was not a strong Keyblade Wielder. Emorene, although much stronger than Namine, was not a legendary Keyblade Wielder either. No matter what the reason, Emorene felt oddly at ease around Namine, which was a rare thing for Emorene to feel.

[Namimaru]

[Feel free.
Go, Diablo, go! X] ]
[BTW, Derik isn't exactly a keybearer. He was given the keyblade by someone in order to protect the Keybearer of Love, kinda like Kairi was given her's.]
Roxas looked around at everyone, looking back. He tightened up with nervousness. He didn't think he could do it anymore, but Namine gave a reassuring twinkle of hope.
"I... I don't know if I still can..." The nobody stuttered, looking down. He had a feeling Namine couldn't do it alone. It had been so long since she and he had opened up a Corridor of Darkness, they may have lost the ability. Maybe if they did it together...

Sakura perked up when Sora had agreed to join along in their little quest. Perfect! Now she had all the help she needed. Her friends were quite skilled, as did they fuel her will to press on. She looked hopefully at Namine and Roxas, who looked sure, but at the same time, unsure. She snapped surprise when she noticed Emorene appear back at their side again. She saw his giant sword and blinked.
"Where did that come f-from?" She asked, surprized.

[Sora_Rox_My_Sox]

"Of course we can do it Roxas!" She said to him, flashing a quick smile. She was trying to preserve a positive mental attitude, hoping that it would infect the others, also giving them hope. Emorene appeared from a dark portal, startling Sakura, and walked towards her, brandishing his new weapon.

"You may keep the dagger for as long as you need it. I have another weapon at my disposal. What have I missed, Namine?"

"Oh, Emorene!" Namine was also shocked by his sudden appearance, and took a syep back towards Roxas. "We just were just deciding to search for Derick. Roxas and I..." She looked over at Roxas, lost for words. Kairi appeared next to her, finishing her sentence for her. "Roxas and Namine were going to open a portal into darkness, so we could search for Derick. Right, Namine?" Kairi finished, throwing wink to her.

"Yea, we were. Come on Roxas!" She said, suddenly enlightened. She grabbed his hand and pulled him into a cleared out spot. She let the power course through her veins, hoping Roxas was doing the same. She thought with all her might, about opening a door to darkness. She lifted her hand, and gently waved it in front of her.

[Namimaru]

Roxas was stunned by namine's quick actions, taking his hand and begining to open a portal. Slowly, he copied her, closing his eyes to concentrate all the darkness he could muster into his fingertips. In unison, they waved their hands beside them, and slowly but surely a black-purple portal of darkness sprang from the ground, and filled a reasonable portion of the space around them. allowing them all to go.

Sakura swallowed. She didn't want to go first, but she felt that it was right that she should. She was the one to propose this journey, and so she was the one to take the lead. However, she captured a glance around to anyone who looked at her, her eyes pleading. Finally she breathed slwoly, and walked forward into the darkness, untill it swallowed her whole, and invited the rest of them.

[Emorene]

Emorene followed Sakura into the Corridor of Darkness without fear or hesitation. Entering the darkness had become nothing unnusual to Emorene, a man used to traveling via Corridors of Darkness. Emorene had been to many worlds, and was curious as to where they would be heading next. As the darkness engulfed him, he beckoned for the others to follow.

[kingdomkeylight]

Mic walked through the portal with Derick as he looked at a huge tower that was covered in thorns "So Yen Sids tower" said Mic as he knew who had taken control of it know Malificant

[sephiroth2]

OOC: It's ok Emorene! You can control Diablo if you want, and I'll control Maleficent!

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

Walking through the newly transformed tower, Sleif slightly smiled as he watched the numerous heartless, part away allowing him and the others passage upstairs.
After a minute, Sleif found himself at the top of the huge tower, and like the rest of it, this too had changed in style.

First off, the room seemed to have increased in more then double its original size, even though nothing had changed from the outside.
At the far end of the room, a huge throne covered in black thorns stood there, where Maleficent was now sitting.

"I like you new home!" Sleif said to Maleficent, as he stood in front of her throne. "I'm glad you approve of it!" replied Maleficent. "So, I see that a keyblader is with you! And how did you come to acquire one like this?" asked Maleficent.

"The same way that you once acquired Riku!" said Sleif, a small grin on his face. "Ah, I now see! So, why have you come here?" asked Maleficent.
"I have come here, because I know you have found them!" replied Sleif.

"Well, aren't you well informed! Yes, I have found them! To be honest, I was rather surprised to find them here, but maybe I shouldn't have been!" said Maleficent.
"Do you think it can work on him?" asked Sleif, turning slightly away from Maleficent. "I am quite certain that it will work!" replied Maleficent.

[Shadows Fall]

Sora had witness the creation of the Corridor of Darkness, seeing that after a few minutes that both Roxas and Namine had finished summoning it. Seeing how the others were simply gazing at the corridor, he shrugged and figured that he should be the first -- aside from Emorene; to step through. And so the Keybearer had done so, taking a few steps until the entire corridor itself enveloped his entire body. Where it would lead him, no one seem to know. . .

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

Derick stepped out of the portal created by Sleif, lifting his head up slowly only to see a large tower in front of him. Without any words he simply followed his new master into the tower, seeing literally hundreds of Heartless standing in their way. However, they did not pose as a threat as they all stepped aside for them to walk through, and proceeded to follow Sleif. Whatever he had up his sleeve the boy was forced to go along with even if it meant defending himself against Sakura and the rest of his friends. . .

[Namimaru]

[Actually, Sakura was first. ]

Sakura stepped out of the portal, looking around at a pink-skyed city with tall brown and beige buildings. Where the corridor led her was a plaza infront of a large clocktower connected to a rail-road track. She was guessing it was a station of some sort. Curiousity and anxiousness pierced threw her as she watched the others slowly walk out of the darkness. Sora looked around, like he knew the place they were standing in.
"Seen it before...?" She asked him.

Roxas waited until everyone had entered the Corridor before he stepped in, watching as his home was shut off from him. He sighed and turned around, than walked threw the darkness into Twilight town. He and Namine's first meeting place. Maybe that was why both of them had opened the darkness to this area. It was special.

[sephiroth2]

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

"Aw, here they are now!" Sleif said to Maleficent as both Derick and Mic arrived to the top of the tower. "Well now, you must be Derick!" said Maleficent as she stood up from her throne and seemed to glide across the floor towards him.

"Derick, this is Maleficent, the queen of darkness and evil!" Sleif said to Derick, motioning towards Maleficent.
"Sleif has told me much about you! You remind me of someone I once knew! " Maleficent said to Derick, now towering over him.

"Quite an exceptional young man he was! And with my help, you can be the same!" said Maleficent. "I'm sure about that!" said Sleif.

[Emorene]

Emorene looked around and smiled as he realized where they were. They were in Twilight Town, a place he recognized well. It had been only a week since he had been here, looking for any traces of Ansem the Wise inside the mansion. His search had been in vain, but he did manage to find one thing while in Twilight Town- a piece of paper containing a message from Ansem to King Mickey. After reading the message that was meant for the King, Emorene had hid it in his pocket, where it still was. He knew that this message, if read, could potentially give away King Mickey's current location. He would make sure that the King would recieve the message, and no one else.
--------------
Diablo watched in the shadows as the others one by one entered the corridor of darkness, deciding whether to follow them or not. The bird flew into the corridor eventually, its body soon engulfed in darkness.

The bird flew out of the corridor of darkness and immediatly upon doing so flew into the shadows, hoping not to be seen. The raven's yellow eyes scanned those around the area, before following onto Emorene, a man who was once a good friend of Maleficent. The bird watched the man's every move, anger growing within the raven. Despite being merely a bird, Diablo knew that Emorene had betrayed Maleficent, and he wasn't about to let a traitor out of his sight.

[kingdomkeylight]

Mic stared at Maleficant she was defently a force to reken with but still Mic held his ground next to Derick Mic was wandering and then asked a question "it takes five to start it i guess that you have all of "them"" said Mic as he watched for a sign of orders from Derick just in case the witch bothered him
