The Cul-da-sac of Keys

[Healing Vision]

Having finally gotten through to him. Garforge smiled, though Daoid never spoke much of what happened in time long since past, Garforge had his sit downs with him here and there. He was in his own sense of doubt of falling behind him and the other members. If anything, for him, their faction leader, he felt like he was the weakest one. Never hesitant to use his primary weapon, never the first to swing, and never having his heart completely at first at dealing a lethal to somewhat fatal blow.

It relieved him to see Daoid free his heart from that crawlspace of prime shame. So he put his trust in his team mate and knew he'd follow through. His doubts evaporated.

The creature spun back into a twirl. Shaking it's head, a bright light seemed to radiate around Daiod, in the same scenario as what happened to Garforge on the platform. There was but a single yet brief flash. It was there, suspended and cuffed at each arm was Daoid floating in the middle of the forest being eyeballed by the creature. It's mit, wrapped around him like an figure, and tossed him upward.

'Oh crap!' Garforge thought.

Raising it's cupped hands it was holding a massive ball of what seemed to be a mixed magic. Possibly as Daoid was making his way back to the surface, the creature released it flying straight for him.

"Bounce it back Daoid! You can do it!" Garforge's voice seemed to echo to his comrade.

[Regret]

"Heeeeeeeeey Miyu! Over here!"

"...?" She looked over her shoulder.

"Seven? How did you get here? .... How do you have a bike?" She paused and looked away, then looked back in realization. "You can drive!?" She said falling over.

She quickly got over it though as a bunch of monsters raced over in his direction. " H-hey! Don't I tell you not to yell when sneaking!" She put a palm to her face and sighed as he got mobbed with monsters. "At least that's better than getting beaten up by girls at the spring...." she mumbled. " You can actually swing back..." She let him take care of the mob, she has great faith in his skills and if he had trouble she would just help.

She looked up to the shattered sky only to gasp. In three separate glass shards there were monstrosities over flowing with power over the bit of land they were in. She also saw some of her friends and clan members fighting them. She got a tad worried.

"Hey Seven.. What do you think of that?" She pointed to the sky. "I want to help but... I dont know how to get out of here...." She hoped he would have the answer, considering hes here now.... with a bike... and shes pretty sure it didn't come from this place.

Coraleye couldn't move nor speak. One more terrible thing was that he couldn't control the protector. It would act on it's own. The menacing creature just stared at Capell before it finally dashed toward him. It raised it's blade high as Ulamar watched. "He'll die." She said before rushing in to save Capell. Blocking the initial blow meant for Capell, Mara forced the blade back. It swung again only to be blocked by Ulmara once again. It's third strike knocked her off balance. As she tried to get herself back together, it struck her leg, going right through it. She screamed out in pain as blood rolled down her leg.

ULMARA! RUN!

Coraleye's word fell to naught as the Protector pulled the blade out. Ulama fell to one knee and was smacked in the face by the Protector's shield. She flew back and rolled across the ground as blood flowed from her mouth.

[Piercing Light]

Capell winced as the protector launched an attack at him. Not really knowing what else to do he closed his eyes preparing to take the blow. But he didn't get hit, opening his eyes he saw Ulama block the blade. "Ulama?" Capell was glad to see her, he was starting to feel like he was all alone in a nightmare. Ulama began to fight the protector, but her bout didn't last long. Her leg was wounded badly from a stab and she was sent flying back from a swing of the monsters shield arm. Capell immediately ran over to her. "Ulama!" He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a potion. "Here, take this". After giving the potion to her Capell turned to Coral. "I guess this is how it has to be". He said, solemnly. Drawing his weapon Capell ran towards Coral, before reaching his leader Capell leaped high into the air. "If you won't listen to reason then I'll knock it into you!" falling through the air he swung his katana with all his might, intending to damage Coral.

The creature spun back into a twirl. Shaking its head, a brief flash occurred and Daiod finds himself in cuffs. He looks around and notices that he is floating in mid-air above the forest. Daiod was being eyeballed by the creature as its mit wrapped around him like an figure, and tossed him upward. Raising it's cupped hands it was holding a massive sphere of what appeared to be clustered magic. Possibly as Daiod was making his way back to the surface, the creature released it flying straight for him.

Suddenly, Gar's voice reaches out to Daiod "Bounce it back Daiod! You can do it!" Something snapped and Daiod directs his attention to the sphere. He pulls this torso back and says "Like I'm going to let you hit me with that. Take this. Breaker go!!" Daiod whips Breaker into the magic sphere, causing the attack to deflect or possibly hit the creature instead. Breaker falls to the ground and bounces off alittle before colliding with a rock. Daiod land on his butt and bounces off alittle. Next he gets up to dust all the dirt off his pants and summons Breaker back to his hand."Wow, that was crazy, what's next?"

"Seven? How did you get here? .... How do you have a bike? You can drive!?"

Seven laughed as she flopped over. He was relieved to see Miyu, and amidst where they were were what seemed to be a calming cul-de-sac, it was nice for a change. He'd adjust his hat and lowered his phones as he was walking towards Miyu. Suddenly racing from below the surface more dark blobs then bumrushed him.

"I'm already onto these guys."

Slamming Harvey into the ground he called it partially without even thinking, and pumped a wave of his rhythm to draw them out and make quick work with a rapid lateral through the grass. He dismissed harvey again to raise his head. A question?

Hey Seven.. What do you think of that?"

Seven looked up. Across three places of the sky there really were three monstrosities. Unknowing what they were, he could see some of the others fighting them, already being in confrontation with them wasn't going to get them anywhere. He frowned and continued to look about.

"I want to help but... I dont know how to get out of here...."

The best we can do now I think is work separately. Don't worry, you've got our cult's reconnaissance specialist with us remember." He had a chipper smile. An idea then arrived to him within a matter of moments. "Hey miyu can I borrow your keyblade for a sec, I kinda wanna amp my range a bit."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Like fate, some things were inevitable. This was the same case of the massive creature of white and blue. Blown back by its own attack, Gar seemed to shake within. As the darkness began to drift out of it, now on the ground and tracing the very dirt. A quick pile was what seemed to be pushed out and with it the body of Garforge.

Somewhat laying like a hobbled rag doll, he was managing to move. Actually feeling welted by what was Daoid's doing. He rechecked himself before calling Hitsun to his hand. It arrived without fail as he walked through the dark floor towards Daiod. He looked exasperated to say the least, it was with each step that was taken the darkness honed in and lingered to Garforge's shadow.

"Its time to breathe again."

What echoed to Garforge then caused him to turn around. More shocked as the being was beginning to come together. Black slacks, a white shirt, a heavy red jacket that was small covered in zippers. His face stoic and yet to falter to flaw. His blond hair and brown eyes with red highlights locked Gar's fascination in place.

"Hmph. Now that I'm here, I can finally say this..." He lowered his hand to unsheathe his blade. "Death to the keyblade!"

With a mighty swing with speed Gar could just follow in his state he parried with what resitance he had left. Locked in a stalemate holding Hitsun to his guard as Daoid could observed from the wayside. Taking his blade locked to Garforge's keyblade, he looked once more.

"Seriously? You call this thing a keyblade? What kind of joke is that! Its not even the real thing!"

"What are you talking about?! I swear since we got here nothing makes sense, whats the story!" Garforge seemed to shout in his confusion and frustration.

"Wah wah wah, you stupid little kids just cry when you dont even know where you are. Fine, I guess i'll tell you. But first..." He stopped thrusting his knee into Gar's chest triggering his innate defense before breaking their lock. "I guess i'll start by telling you what age this is. Its known as the time of second great keyblade war. Waged across many a world, but ours is the most unique."

He took the time to prompt his blade into the ground and flex this radical gestures. "You kids basically traveled back in time upon opening the door that tied the chaos together and sustained order. When the darkness invaded your time, you and everything got thrust back in time. So it means your cul-de-sac is gone. Your living in the very age before it was whole, more like broken. Ya know what I'm sayin'?"

Garforge could only retreat to his bangs, scarf, and his mental solitude. 'So this is all our doing? Things are bundled and jumbled up because we were curious? Hardly makes things any easier.'

"You kids all have keyblades I'm guessin'?"

"What if we do?"

"Hahahaha! Dude don't even kid yourself, those might cut the small fry, but the big fish like me are just going to kill you kids on site."

"You don't seem to be the type to kill what entertainment you have right off the bat. More like you want to see how far we get until you do us the pleasure of erasure."

'Sharp kid.' The man folded his arms.

"Tell me something useful. Like what are these black creatures running around attack us for no reason? Or what I recently shadowed as."

"Whine whine whine. You ask a lot of questions, i guess I can spare some details. Those black creatures are called the heartless. Their the remnants of vanquished hearts, born in two forms. Pureblood being a natural loss of the heart and Emblem, manufactured heartless bred with the heartless symbol engraved on their forms somewhere. Like it really matters, their mindless flunkies that are only good when their anihilated anyway."

"Now what about the other ones. The white thing I became...or you...just explain if you can."

"Hah! Your eager huh? And impressive you became a nobody."

"A nobody?"

"Like the process with the heartless, a nobody is the shell left over when really strong hearts are freed, a nobody is created. It doesn't possess a heart, but their so much stronger than heartless and have some kind of intelligence as well as obedience to the more powerful nobodies that appear in flesh forms. Though, they're not likely to attack you."

"Why is that?"

"Call it a hunch. Sadly, thats all the time i've got for you brats, this harbinger is out of here."

Without a single word more, he wrapped himself into a dark corridor then closing it behind him. Garforge stood holding Hitsun tightly clenched in his hand and began to wonder more and more, what were they going to do next? He turned to Daoid who was behind him. "Daoid. If you know any way we can survive this, tell feel free to share. Its going to be hard knowing we're playing taking part of this massive duck hunt across the cul-de-sac. We need to survive and reunite with everybody else soon enough. I might've been your faction leader in our time, but here I'm just another keyblader. Lets look for the nearest door out of here."

Garforge started walking shortly after he finished.

[TheBane]

Zeke could only watch as the beast tossed Daoid into the air, holding a sphere of what looked like mixed magic where he would have fallen, because Zeke was wrapped with a strange light and could not move to help Daoid. Zeke felt joy rush through him when he could move after the white being was destroyed by its sphere, reflected by Daoid's keyblade. Rushing over to Daoid, he started to ask what happened to Gar when he saw Gar emerge out of the creature. Zeke would have ran over to Gar, but what happened next not only made his day a whole lot worse( wich was a preety amazing feat for something to do that right now, seeing as it was alreadya -7 on a 1-10 scale).

A person apeared out of nowhere and, even through he was talking to Gar, his message sent misery pulsing throughout his body. Not only did he quite clearly say that he wanted death to the keyblades, but said that since our opening of the door caused the "heartless"(wich, in Zeke's mind, is basicly what he said to be the remains of freed hearts)and "nobodies"( what he said was the shell left behind when a heart was freed, and more dangerous than the heartless), to invade our world, we where flung back in time during this second keyblade war, before our town was even whole. So we caused all of this to happen? Well, that sure makes my heart feel lighter.

Zeke ran over to Gar when the guy seemed to wrap himself in darkness and vanished. Zeke was just about ask Gar what exactly happened when he remarked that we had to unite with the other people that were in our time and started walking. Sighing, Zeke began walked behind Gar, knowing that whenever he tried to get away from where he was, he was granted his wish by being moved to somewhere worse. I think I set a world record of having the worst flippin day ever.

[Que Será Será]

By reflecting the attack on the creature, Daiod was able to free Garforge from its grasp. Garforge drags himself to Daiod before being interrupted by a voice. Concerned about what happened to Garforge, Zeke
makes his way to Daiod, again interrupted by a mysterious force. A blonde haired man with brown eyes wearing black slacks, a white shirt, a heavy red jacket that was small covered in zippers appears and speaks to Garforge."Hmph. Now that I'm here, I can finally say this...Death to the keyblade"

The man began to strike Garforge with his gunblade but is equaled by Garforge's Hitsun guarding him, resulting in a stalemate from Daiod's perspective. Daiod thought to himself "He's in no condition to be fighting now." The man looks at Hitsun and says "Seriously? You call this thing a keyblade? What kind of joke is that! Its not even the real thing!" Garforge replies that he was confused and demanded the man to tell him what was going on. The man replied ""Wah wah wah, you stupid little kids just cry when you dont even know where you are. Fine, I guess i'll tell you.

But first I guess I'll start by telling you what age this is. Its known as the time of second great keyblade war. Waged across many a world, but ours is the most unique."You kids basically traveled back in time upon opening the door that tied the chaos together and sustained order. When the darkness invaded your time, you and everything got thrust back in time. So it means your cul-de-sac is gone. Your living in the very age before it was whole, more like broken. Ya know what I'm sayin'?"

Something clicked in his head as the man explained alittle about this place. "Hmmm, it makes sense to some degree but I believe he is leaving out some very important details." Afterwards, Daiod listened to the man's explaination of the heartless and nobodies before taking off.

Garforge turned to Daiod and said "Daoid. If you know any way we can survive this, tell feel free to share. Its going to be hard knowing we're playing taking part of this massive duck hunt across the cul-de-sac. We need to survive and reunite with everybody else soon enough. I might've been your faction leader in our time, but here I'm just another keyblader. Lets look for the nearest door out of here."

Daiod sighs and looks to Garforge and Zeke as he replies "This isn't the first time I have been to this place.During the time this place existed, I was under another faction leader." Daiod begins to make his way out of the forest to the islands." Follow me, I saw where the door was before you turned into that Twilight Thorn."

[Ubiquity]

The protector had about three more seconds before it ended up coming apart, and with the countdown the timing was literally exact.

"Three, two, one...." There was an explosion, a tell tale sign that something dangerous was about to wake up, or rather stop watching from the inside. It was like what Coral has become was splitting open and he was banished back onto the physical plane, busting his ass on the ground and laying there rather busted, not completely beaten, but injured enough that it was obvious the transformation had done some damage and at the same time caused a break in his being.

A scantily clad and rather gorgeous/scary looking woman climbed out of the shell of the protector and floated bored in the air before the kids there. "So all that for this huh?? What a fucking bore, I could have just opened a portal next year if this was all I was going to get." She looked down at the kid on the ground, her tentacles snarling and drooling on the ground. "What are you bitches looking at?? is my boob showing or something??" Of course it was for the most part.

"I really want to stay and play, but I need to be off, just be sure that you guys don't get lost back in time here, or eaten by all the heartless running around. some of those things pack a real punch, just not like I do." Her left hand sparkled for a second and she stepped down out of the sky and walked toward Coral. "What's that you have there?? A keyblade, or at lest a wannabe piece of one...."

The woman grabbed at his hand and crushed the essence making up the almost keyblade, "Yep, I knew it, busted like always. Too bad for you." A quick twist of the wrist was all it took when her hand moved back, anyone could hear the crack of bone. "Wow, I just like broke your hand." The hand that had been glowing for the past few minutes lit up and and a man just appeared. He looked annoyed, but content.

Dressed in some kind of ninja outfit he just looked toward the woman, "Contract much??"

"Yep that's rigjht."

"Okay then. Sorry guys." All he did was cup both hands, and mutter...."Senhappa." A huge beam of energy exploded from his palms and more than likely murked the kids in the way. When the smoke cleared the ninja guy was gone and so was the woman.

A laugh sounded in the air, "See you guys around really soon. Call me Boa next time why don't ya??"
