TRACES OF SOLITUDE [a kingdom hearts roleplay]

[Brol]

Clutching the arm he had held the sword in, Sleif backed away from Brol, snarling and gritting his teeth as his eyes continued to stare at the boy. "This is nothing! I...I can still take what I want even the way I am now!" Sleif called out as he released his sword arm, forming a large sphere of darkness just about ready to launch, before the castle guards appeared all around Sleif from all direction, their weapons raised to both defend the castle, and to help out Brol. "What a lucky, lucky, lucky boy you are! Well, it seems I have over stayed my welcome. It was good to see you again, and I'm sure your brothers feel the very same. Until next time, and when that comes, I will finish what we started." the heartless said through his gritting teeth, fading away in dark wisps leaving nothing but the huge circle of guards to stand there in confusion.

Brol's heart nearly stopped as he watched the sword barely miss him. In a way, He was hoping to get hit with it, end the pain and the loss of his brothers, but what fun would that be. He gulped as he looked up at Sleif, somewhat concerned as the sword disappeared. In his head," What was stopping him?...Did He make him hesitate... no..." He turned as he leaped upward from the build up of darkness in Sleif's hands as he watched more castle guards appear. He glided back down as he cracked his neck, the elixer was working perfectly, but the bigger concern, why let him go.

After following the guards, he confronted the Step mother and apologized for the damage done to the castle. Instantly he was thrown out of the castle walls. "YEA WELL I WAS GUNNA HELP YOU REPAIR IT.. old hag..." He crosses his arms. He grunts as he holds his pockets and walks around the front gates. He pulls out his damaged arm," Stupid healing power..." Seems he can heal critical damage, but usage of the hand was extremely limited. Trying to clench his fist, his head tilted up and turned.

"Sorry about her.." Cinderella apologized as she walks up to Brol, walking around him for a moment. "Do you need clothes? I got a shirt for you here..." She pulls out a clean, white rugged shirt. Brol smiles," Nah I'm good, but thank you..." Cinderella shook her head," You are quite the stubborn one... and probably sick when it gets cold..." He flips his hair out of his face," Nah as long as I got my three Blood abilites I'm fine..." She leaned back on a tree," Blood abilities?" The guy nodded," Yea, Leo's eyes, heart and claw...." The girl shook her head, thinking the guy was insane now.

Sighing," Wait let me explain... Leo's eyes, I can see through anything, even darkness... Leo's Heart, i have sort of a heat cloak so I never really get cold... though i get hot very easily.." Cinderella chuckled," You are pretty hot..." Brol blushes a bit as he rubs his neck," ....and.d.d ugh Leo's Claw... I have instincts of a cat..." He scratches his cheek a bit as he looks around. Cinderella smiles," Well how do you get theses abiliites?" The guy grins," Oh that's easy.. you just gotta open yourself up..." Turns around, showing her the deep scars on his back," Then fight your inner self and your inner beast..."

Cinderella covers her face," Oh god...Now it's obvious your not from around here... we don't have anything as serious as that..." Brol's eyes widen, he broke a rule. "I.i gotta go now.." He starts walking away from the gates, Cinderella grabbing his arm, crossing it with hers," Awesome I'm coming with..." Brol spazzes out," WAaaht! you can't!" She sticks her tongue out," too bad..." Brol blushes as he scratches his cheek with his other arm, wincing a bit as she grabbed the bad arm. "Y.y.ou have to stay here..." She looks up, innocently. Brol sighs," Oh boy...." He explains to her a few basic info, fighting and magic.

Thrilled to leave, Cinderella runs back to the castle to grab her things. Brol grinned a bit," Maybe stopping here wasn't a bad idea..." He crossed his arms as he waited for her return. Looking up at the sky, now darkened, he gathered his things and sighs," She said it wasn't going to take too long... oh?" He pops his head through the wooden gate, it was open. Curiously, he walks into the castle, the whole place was empty, or filled with heartless. "RELA" He screamed as he slashed apart the heartless. "BROL!" He spun around as he watched Cinderella get swallowed into a portal. He rushed at the portal before it closed as a huge fist backhanded him into the wall.

Growling, he spin steps off the wall and slashes the heartless apart, "for a boss heartless it was rather weak...." He shook his head as he looked around, she was gone. "Dammit dammit dammit! I knew i shouldn't have told her everything... I'm in serious trouble..." Brol crossed his arms as he throws his arms up in anger, opening a portal. He looked around as the world was becoming like all the others, worthless and empty. Jumping into the portal, Brol grinned a bit until his body fell face flat on hard, metal train tracks. "Who the hell puts random train tracks here?" He looks up and tilts his head as he spots three little kids a few feet away from him. He looks at the kids then at himself and gasps, falling onto his back. His body was clothed, a long black cloak, the world should of easily just stamped on his forehead, grim reaper. He pulls the hood off and sighs contently, he still has his long blonde hair and skin for that matter, only he doesn't have his angelical wings, instead black crow wings.

"Aw dammit..." He turns his head as the blinding lights of the train hurdles towards him. "Ughh..." He jolts away from the train as he falls off the train tracks, slamming his head against a post. "Ow..." He rubs his head as he turns, catching a small glimpse of Rena. "W.w.wasn't that..." He tilts his eyebrow as he stands back up. He looks around at the sheer eerie, creepy world. "Ah... I remember this place, for sure Rela isn't here.. but i can't promise i won't have some fun here..." He flipped his hair as he walks up to where the train stopped, leaning back on a pillar. "Guess this is a grouping spot eh?" He pulls out a cigarette and leaps back behind buildings.

[Aphex]

Derrick walked over to one of the windows again, seeing the change in the sky around the train. Everything was beginning to grow dark and grey. This was just a sign that they were getting closer to landing in Halloween Town, the boy now feeling rather guilty that he couldn't get them to Traverse Town with a portal. Yet, a voice rang within the train itself, the temperature suddenly dropping in an instant.

Glancing over at Rena, the heartless watched as a portal formed underneath her, attempting to reach out for her but it was far too late. Afterwards, he ended up getting struck right at the rib cage by a staff, staggering back and slamming into the end of the train. Wincing with every throb that he felt coming from his rib cage, the heartless looked up only to see Claria, who now wanted a fight.

"You're freakin' annoying!" With that outburst, the heartless formed into a shadow and slipped underneath the cracks of the door, reverting back into his human form as he now plunge towards the Guillotine Square. He was still pretty high up, now falling head first right into the well that lied in the middle of the square. Pulling himself out of the green liquid, the heartless rolled along the ground and was now drenched.

"Rena!" he called out, getting to his feet slowly as he glanced around to see if she was nearby. Yet, he couldn't find her at all. He had to get to her before Rashnear did and he hope it wasn't too late.

[kingdomkeylight]

Time Left 6:30

"Oh no you dont, your mine" Claria yelled as she appeared behind Derrick shooting a blizzaga spell onto his back forcing him to either pay attention or get beat up looking for Rena. Then again as Claria drew closer Derrick would have to make that decision quickly.

"Die Heartless" Claria then spinned aroundsmashing Derrick with multiple stricks sending him beck into the town square. Though what Claria forgot as she moved forward was this place was one big trap. As the two figures would find out quickly. Drawing nearer to Derrick, Claria was forced back as a slap of green slime hit her in the face shot from the statues mouth. At the same time though the guillateen above Derricks head started to come down at a threatening speed.

[Skitty Cat]

Tensing she watched Thistle, ready to take action at a moment's notice. She thought about scolding the child for that, but decided against it. Erin laughed quietly while Thistle asked a zillion questions, or that's what it seemed like. She wasn't surprised when Thistle stopped mid-sentence and asked, "Um, who are you, again?"

"Erin," she replied. Looking at the crab, she blinked and than scanned the area around them. "Um, where did that Nobody go?" She asked, realizing that it seems as if they'd left him behind. Shrugging, Erin focused back on the crab and queried, "What's your name and what else can you tell use about the ones attacking your home?"

~- World That Never Was -~

A soft smile briefly fluttered on her face, before hastily retreating, Castex always seemed determined to make sure all the members felt right at home. That was something Tora couldn't understand, maybe it was because of her time with the thirteenth order. Staring at him in confusion, she blinked as he asked, "So how was Riku hopefully not a handful."

"No, he wasn't a handful. He's rusty with his keyblade, than again Riku didn't use it once; he doesn't seem to like riddles though. There was a man there that seems to know him though; and yet Riku was denying it." She reported, catching the same thing Castex had; Tora felt her back muscles start to tighten.

Her gaze drifting around them, Tora looked back at the Superior and listened as he said quietly, "Just in case get ready to run if I tell you to unlease you think you can fight then stay."

Tora nodded in response, silently she moved to stand a little closer to Castex, debating should she should stay and fight; or run off as he had suggested. She decided that she’d stay and try to help, unless Castex truly wanted her to leave, than she’d turn and run away. Staring at the night sky, she felt the cold light of Kingdom Hearts brushing her shoulders; glancing over her shoulder to stare at the heart shaped moon. Why are we shunned because we are Nobodies? It is not fair, than again I do not have the right to say what is and what isn't She thought to herself.

"Tell me your request why is it so simple and why not wish to leave the organization thats what most look forward to."

Looking back at Castex, she had almost completely forgotten that they were to be rewarded after completing their missions. Quiet for a few moments, Tora replied softly, "I guess that as long as I have a book and my music, I can just escape into my own world if I'm troubled, maybe that's why I haven't asked if I could leave the order. Besides...." She stopped and shook her head, after a brief pause she added, "It doesn't matter why I chose to stay."

Deciding to bring up more ideal chat, she commented lightly, "It seems like a nice night, doesn't it? It's not raining for a change."

[Endless Warrior Sora]

Kuxei exited the Dark Corridor, arriving in the peaceful night town. He looked over to Yixll.

"Hungry?" He asked, looking toward the female Nobody as he reached into his cloak for munny. "I'll pay of course."

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

"Yeah, Anna needs to rejoin up with Erin, she's a friend. Do you want to come with Anna?"


The girl asked her to tag along. Lillia didn't see any other option besides following her. The girl held out her hand as Lillia was indescisive about shaking it, wondering it that would reveal a weakness. Out of courtesy she did though, taking Anna's hand and shaking it.

"Okay. Let's go."

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


Kaijen looked quizically at the talking crab. He then looked toward Abeo and Thistle. He really didnt wanna help some crab that just happended to show up. But if he didnt it would be on his concious...whatever was left of it anyway. He rolled his eyes.

"Okay....fine. Let's help...that is if you're okay with it." He said waiting for Thislte's approval in the matter. He looked around, water swishing as he moved. "Hey, where's Ilxudiq? Aand....yea...who exactly are you?" He said to the girl. "I remember you from before....I just forget your name..Ellen?" He guesed.


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


Sora saw now that his opponent had decided to counter his attacks. Nelox easily maneuvered out of the way of his blade and came back to attack. Unfortunately for him his blade was much to small to even reach him. Sora ducked from Nelox's initial attack an landed on the ground where he summoned his Keyblade back to him and parried the vertical attack.

"That all you got? And you're supposed to kill me?" Sora taunted as he pointed his blade at Nelox and unleashed a Blizzard attack as he then ran toward Nelox and cam down with a vertical slash from the sky downward.

[Takushi Rena]

The indigo train pushed through the orange pumpkin face of Halloween Town, as if the image was all clouds covering over the town itself. As they passed through clouds turning grey, the train started getting very... cold. So much that the inside of the car was tinting barely blue.

Welcome to Halloween Town

Claria! The icy woman appeared out of nothing and Rena snapped into a defensive position, knees bent and hands out to the side.

So before we begin lets get rid of the extra player shall we Derrick

"Ahh--"

Her eyes stared down. A dark portal! Like a hole having suddenly appeared under her feet, Rena started falling, impulsively throwing out her hand just as Derrick reached out.

"Nngh!" Oh, fun. Face-first into brick. Rena scrambled up to her feet with haste, brushing off specks of dirt off of her now-blackened jeans. She rubbed her nose with her gloved hand, finding that the cloth covered her fingers and was suddenly claw like.

Mask back over her forehead and eye, quirky antenna reaching up into the sky. Once again, she looked like a human Shadow Heartless without actually being one. The girl started grinning.

Well, well if it isnt the keyblade Brat or do you prefer your actually Title Keyblade Master of Twilight

That grin was gone in about five seconds. Blue orbs glared daggers at Rashnear as he towered over the girl, though uneasiness made itself known on her features at the sight of the hammer. With a flash of white with black, the metallic weapon appeared in Rena's grasp and she hung on tight.

I got you for a good 7 minutes before your boyfriend and Claria get here so lets have some fun

"Ah!" Her black sneakers scuffled back, the girl stumbling and fighting to keep on her feet. The hammer came crashing down, trying to smash her to pieces! She started in a run for it, hanging on tightly to the weapon in her grasp.

"Screw off!" she exclaimed as loud as she could muster, "I don't got time to fight!"

Her gaze had set forwards, staring at the tracks that glimmered as they appeared out of nothing. The train was coming down those tracks!

clickclickclick!

She just had to dodge Rashnear and wait for the train, then Derrick would show up... Then they could get out of there! Right? Maybe, if the train listened.

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

Of course the man was Castex. Would he have sent one of his stupid puppets after them? Probably not. Not with Monte around.

How funny its going to be when you realize just like those Totema how much of a puppet you really are

After he defeated Isnu, the enigma disappeared into nothing and, quite frankly, Ten didn't care. She flicked a lock of brunette out of her face and walked off, not caring about Isnu or anything else but getting back to Monte.

All he had stated was to capture the Underworld, as he left, along with the Totema, to go off to who-knows-where. Capture the Underworld? The thin line forming a frown started to twist together.

Perhaps... not.

The frown kept on twisting, but now it was nothing more than a line. Smile or frown, it wasn't visible which one was which.

shiiiish...

She had placed her hand backwards, fingers out as if touching a wall behind her. Blackness swirled from her fingertips and sneakers stepped back. The girl had stepped through a dark portal.

Yet, as she did, she was smiling.

[kingdomkeylight]

Rashnear growled aloud as Rena ran to the tracks.

"Get back here you little brat" Rashnear lifted his hammer running after the girl unleashing a fire wall in front of Rena. Throwing his hammer to the side Rashnear roared.

"Die you useless keyblader" as he said that he started on all four and ran at her jumping to rip her apart.
.............................................................

"Of course your paying a man always pays for the eloquent lady" Yixll joked walking towards Kuxei. "Hey not to seem different or anything but can you keep a secret" Yixll asked as Kuxei led the way to the desination.

[Aphex]

The heartless shook his head just to get himself focused again. The guillotine above him began to rush down towards him, blades now sprouting from his wrists as he threw them up above him. The guillotine collided with his blades as he then rolled out from underneath the blade that nearly fell down upon him. Now getting to his feet, the boy ended up rushing over to Claria who was taken off guard by the statue's green liquid. Grabbing her by the back of her neck, he ran over to the statue and slammed her face right into its mouth.

"Go away!" Looking up into the night sky, the heartless spotted the train and rushed off towards its direction. Maybe he would find Rena if he were to do so? But he had to hurry before Claria had time to get in the way of his search for Rena.

The train grew near which meant Derrick was getting closer! Yet, when he arrived all he found was Rashnear about to attack Rena!

"Not so fast!" shouted the heartless, sprinting over to Rena as he grabbed her out of the way of the fire wall. Putting her down, he then lifted up both of his blades to block Rashnear, practically catching him in mid-air as he took a step forward to throw him back. "Why would the train take us here?!"

[KurtZisa]

Utter Blackness and void.

Chiyu was knocked out during the space warp did by the relic Number Zero dropped after their one-sided battle. Finally she ragains consciousness, she cleared her vision and was surprised at what she saw. She was in the middle of a graveyard. That's item must have been a fragment of a black gummi which are used in powering warp machines used to transfer one individual from one world to another.

She slowly gets up and dusts herself up. As she makes a step forward, Chiyu's right foot suddenly fell into a manhole rendering her stuck. As she pulled her foot up, a ghost dog was seen biting her toe that made the monk lost it.

"Aiiiyyyeeee!!!!"

She stomped the ghost dog hoping she would crush it beneath that impact but the ghost dog just simply phased through her foot and made its way before Chiyu.

"Oh my!"

A voice suddenly came from the mist, a ragdoll fashioned into a woman stepped out of the mist and then fetched the ghost dog. "I've been looking all over for you Zero. Now don't go wandering off like that--oh!" the ragdoll woman suddenly turned her attention to Chiyu, "Hello there. You don't look like you're from around here. Are you from an another world?" asked the ragdoll woman to the monk which kinda looked weird in Chiyu's point of view. "Umm... Where exactly am I if I may ask?" asked Chiyu profusely as she talked to the denizen. "Why--you're in Halloween Town. Oh, how rude of me, I'm Sally, What's you're name." and she's very polite to. "Chiyu--Yanagi."

[kingdomkeylight]

"Why would the train take us here?!"

"Why does it matter your here" Rashnear said getting back up from the shove Derrick had performed. As he did stand up the flames on his body started to get more violent turning a blood red all around his body as if he was going super nova.

"And your life ends here to" Rashnear roared as the flames went out of control flying of his body like a bomb as he darted straight at Derrck threatening to either burn him alive or rip him to shreds. The closer and closer he got to Derrick the easier a shot Rena had right behind him. A few feet away Claria could be seen waiting to see what would happen and who would be the victor.

"This should be interesting"
......................................................

Castex turned to respond to Tora when he noticed she moved closer most likely do to the feeling around them there was no doubt that a powerful being was about to appear and if Castex had guess correctly it wouldnt just be Sleif.

"No, he wasn't a handful. He's rusty with his keyblade, than again Riku didn't use it once; he doesn't seem to like riddles though. There was a man there that seems to know him though; and yet Riku was denying it."

"Thats good, rusty and angered easily hahaha really that not good i was hoping he would be a small challenge at least... most likely the man was Sleif" Castex said remembering the chat he had with Sleif before. Then Tora spoke again.

"It doesn't matter why I chose to stay."

"Really, well thats your choice I believe though then again I remember when I felt like this was my only choice, we are only as good as the choices we make Tora and sometimes we have to make the bad ones to know what to do" Castex confusingly to Tora as he looked up at the sky listening to her ideal chat.

"It seems like a nice night, doesn't it? It's not raining for a change."

"How I envy you Tora... you and the others. Your right it seems to be favoring a change" Castex said with s small grin on his face though it disappeared as Castex recalled a memory of his younger days when this world was in fact a battle ground.

"How I truly envy your life."

[lumine]

============================================================

"..huh, I've seem to have forgotten. My isn't that always embarressing!"

I knew it. A slight sigh escaped the azure nymph, Sleif is Sleif, if he doesn't want to reveal something then it's impossible to try and find out. She can't say she didn't expect it but still...

Turning around, Noraxeen watched in silent amusement the dark green aura enveloping the young teen. The child still kept sleeping peacefully though oblivious to what was happening or what was to become of her. Gradually the wounds started to heal little by little causing the bleeding darkness to simply fade away.

"All will become clear in due time. Everything is starting to happen just as it should..." Sleif said causing Noraxeen's gaze to trail away from the child and rest upon the black sand "...And very soon, you shall even bare witness to what this child can do!"

Though a little perplexing, Noraxeen just smiled mysteriously, her eyes brimming with curiosity and interest as she watched Sleif bend down beside the unconscious girl, his extended hand touching her forehead as a malicious dark aura surrounded them. And for an instance, The ancient heartless seemed much more sinister than ever before that Noraxeen couldn't help but wonder for perhaps the thousandth time about the true nature of these dark beings. So much darkness you gave this child Sleif... I'm afraid that things are not going to be so easy after this.

"Very well Then my friend... I'll be watching." The Azure nymph said in almost a whisper as she her majestic orbs once again turned to stare at the limitless ocean. Somehow the words seemed to carry much more than what they revealed but it was impossible to know if Noraxeen really meant what those words hid.

The sudden glowing of green told Noraxeen that Maleficent has left just as Sleif spoke once again "It has been rather long since last we spoke like this...hasn't it?"

"mhm It sure has.." She couldn't but smile gently as she remembered the old days, life back then was so simple... So much simpler than now for sure.

"I mean...I believe you haven't even seen Castex yet. And what might that be like I wonder?" The heartless said as he came to a stop beside her.

"Oh yes, My that would certainly be wonderful..." She replied as she turned to face his malicious yellow gaze."...Actually I was thinking to pay him a small visit as well but... what about her?" She motioned towards the sleeping child.

"I guess there's no sense in leaving the child here, hmm?" and at his signal a group of Neo Shadows slowly rose up from the ground, each one holding onto a side of the child keeping the body just above the ground while their claws held onto her. Noraxeen didn't comment for she has decided to wait and see how things will unfold, it was better this way 'cause when the time comes it'll be her turn to play...

"It seems our old friend is trying to communicate with me. I'm sure he would be more then, happy, to see you after so long!" Sleif said severing Noraxeen from her thoughts.

"oh then, we shouldn't keep him waiting much longer." she smiled playfully as she glanced at Sleif before she extended an elegant gloved hand in front of her, palm facing the dark ocean for soon a dark portal opened and it's depths they stepped. It'd be only seconds before they emerge before Castex in the castle that never was.

[sephiroth2]

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

"Well well well, and what do we have here, hmmm?" A creepy snarly voice said to the two women and the ghost dog, as standing in the shadows was a large being, completely covered by the darkness and giving no hint to its true form to either woman. Though the Rag doll and Ghost Dog would know instantly who it was that faced them right now. As Zero growled and barked at the new figure, the being simply released a bellow of a laugh before strange looking creatures started to appear around the women. Some were of living skeletons, though they seemed to be quite brittle, there was more then enough to make up for that problem. The next group were of over sized spiders, about as big as the Zero himself and just as many as the skeletons, but the final group were what both women knew well, the heartless.

Flapping around in the air, a couple of Gargoyle Heartless seeming to back up the strange mummy creatures below them, they're long arms swaying back and forth just ready to leap and attack any of the women that tried to move. "Your boyfriend isn't here to protect you know, little lady! And now, I'm the king, hahahahahaha!" the creature said bellowing out another laugh, as it raised his short arm/ tentacle appendage, before pointing it at the women. "Get the little Rag doll and take her with the others, as for, her..." the being said as if trying to think what to do with Chiyu. "...Heh, have some fun boys!" said the large creature, laughing more and more as it disappeared into the shadows behind it, while the spiders suddenly wrapped their webs around Sally, before dragging her away from Chiyu and Zero, who tried desperately to bite through the webs. Though this only served to anger the rest of the spiders as they tried to attack him, before setting their sights on Chiyu, firing their webs at her too.

At that moment, the rest of the creatures suddenly attacked and moved into position all around Chiyu, a large majority of the Heartless suddenly leaping to behind the spiders, as they continued to drag Sally away, making sure that nothing could follow her and them to where they were all going. Floating higher into the air, the Gargoyle heartless moved their heads back, before gathering some sort of strange spectral like energy in their mouths, before quickly releasing the attacks as they floated and then homed quite quickly towards Chiyu.

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

"And your life ends here to" Rashnear roared as it launched itself straight towards Rena and Derrick only for exactly at the same time, something very long, very sticky, and very very, green, shot out from the side of the area. Quickly wrapping itself around Rashnear's legs, the object started pulling him backwards, causing the being to fall with a loud crash on the ground infront of the boy and girl. Walking out from the area as the green object retracted, a tall and very thin skeleton wearing a suit appeared, a large smile on his face as he noticed the Rashnear slowly starting to move.

Moving his arm which had the strange green thing wrapped around his wrist, the skeleton caused his weapon of sorts, to shoot out and stretch, catching and wrapping itself around the handle of Rashnears own hammer, before the Skeleton raised and swung his arm, in turn causing the hammer still attached, to swing more and more before crashing it down onto the ground infront of him.

"This is my town. And you're not welcome here!" the Skeleton said to Rashnear after unleashing the powerful attack from his own weapon, lifting it up with his green slim like goo, before swinging it wildly again, getting ready for another powerful attack. "Now leave before I have to get serious!" said the Skeleton, this time his voice clearly filled with seriousness as he stared at Rashnear waiting for him to leave.

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

Noticing the new arrival of the Reaper looking boy, the small Gargoyle child smiled as he made a last dash towards the only other person that could help him and the others. That was until, the three mask wearing children from before suddenly jumped out from nowhere, the devil and skeleton costume wearing kids holding onto the Gargolye, while the witch laugh and smiled as she removed her mask, showing a normal girls face underneath it, though in the same shape and color as her mask. "We did it! Now Oogie is going to reward us big!" the witch said as she laughed and smiled, while the two boys laughed with her, nodding their heads in agreement.

"Yeah, this time we're sure to get something big from him. I mean we did do everything he said!" said the devil costumed child as the skeleton costumed boy removed a large sack, before covering it over the Gargoyle for the others to carry him around easily. "Lets go see Oogie right now!" said the boy as he removed his skeleton mask, showing that like the others, his face was just like his mask, round and very pale. Continuing to laugh to themselves over what they did, the three little, tricksters, turned and leaped into a strange bathtub with legs, still laughing and cackling to themselves as it slowly walked away.

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

"Oh thank you so much! My name is Sebastian, and its all so nice to meet you all. But we need to get to da palace as quickly as possible!" said Sebastian, already turned and swimming as fast as he could ahead of the group, as Abeo smiled and nodded to the others that they should try and keep up with him. Speeding through the water ahead of them, Abeo slowed down once beside Sebastian, turning his head to the small crab as he swam beside him. "So Sebastian, tell us about these, Unbirth?"the young man asked, really interested in what these creatures could be, after only meeting heartless and apparently a nobody.

"Well, these unbirths seem like us. They swim around and take many different shapes exactly like us, except there is one difference?" the crab said eerily as Abeo continued to look at the crab. "And, that is?" asked the young boy, before Abeo came to a sudden stop upon slamming his head into something very hard. "They're like that!" finished the crab, causing Abeo to swim a little backwards as he rubbed his head, only to stare up at the huge metallic looking squid like creature. "I see...." Abeo could only say, before the young man grabbed a hold of Sebastian and swam out of the way, as the huge armored squid swung one of its large tentacles in an attempt to strike at them.

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

"oh then, we shouldn't keep him waiting much longer" Smiling as the Azure Nymph raised her hand infront of them both, Sleif's smile widdened, watching the large dark portal form infront of the ocean. Walking along with Noraxeen into its depths, the heartless held his arms behind his back, resting them agaisnt his dark coat as the group of Neo Shadows shuffled and moved behind him, carrying the young sleeping girl with their claws underneath each of her arms and legs. Within a few seconds after both Nobody and Heartless entered the portal and its pathway, the group of Neo Shadows along with the girl they carried, slowly sunk deep into the darkness, completely disappearing leaving only Sleif and Noraxeen.

"The child will appear back with her other friends, safe and sound somewhere. It should be quite interesting to see how she turns out." Said Sleif, smiling as he slowly took one step after another, while the darkness around them began to get thinner and thinner as they reached their destination ahead of them. The air around Castex and Tora would have begun to feel quite dense, to almost a choking kind of level as something could clearly be felt right as it was about to appear behind the two Nobodies.

The low hum of a cracking sound, was the first hint of something happening while a small mist of darkness began to seep out of noticably nothing, before a large dark portal, identical to all other Nobody versions, appeared out of thin air, followed instantly by the sound of footsteps clicking against the hard ground as the two beings appeared from its dark depths. "My, now doesn't this bring back memories." the dark deep voice said, as Sleif's bright yellow eyes moved around with his head, taking in the sights of the city below the castle as well as the structure itself.

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

Gently lowering the girl onto the cold and dead looking ground, the Neo Shadows tilted their heads from side to side, examining the young child with their huge yellow eyes befoe slowly backing away, disappearing back into the darkness leaving the girl all alone, while the hug full moon continued to shine its light onto the small clearing she was in. The sound of some kind of event could be heard some distance away, while also a powerful heat was to be felt from the same area the noise was coming from.

The one instance to cement the fact that something was going on close by, was the sudden strong and leader like voice, as someone seemed to order another to leave a town or something.

[Brol]

Brol scratched his head," I could of sworn that was her..." He rubbing his chin a bit as he stood there, puzzled like usual. A sudden chill overtook him, making him grab his heart a bit. "D.d.d.amn.." He gulped a bit, looking around," Another tapped into darkness... no that's not right... it feels to fam..." He was blown back a bit as he noticed a small gargoyle kid. "HEY WATCH IT! ...." He tilted his head as he saw the figure get pulled away by a few little kids.

Crossing his arms, the reaper closes his eyes," Check Rena.... Find out about that kid.... Rena... that kid...." Nods," Both..." He rubs his hands a bit as he snaps his finger," Ah ha!" He looks around, nothing. " God dammit..." He loosens himself up a bit as he goes at it again and again. After a few seconds lost of time, Brol finally got, by summoning out a small portal. Rolling out of the portal, a lightly tannish teen pops out, stand up and brushes off the cobwebs from his brown cloak. "Whats the big idea?" He grumbles as he looks up," Oh Brol... long time no see... not a Hey Dy what's up? or anything..." The teen grumbles as Brol smacks his face. "Okay bro no time to explain I need you to go..."

The teen scoffs as he looks up at the reaper," Are you kidding me? First you don't even say hi... then you summon me out of the blue just to help you look for that kid..." Brol grunts as he slams his fist on Dy's head," For my conscience your really annoying..." Dy sticks his tongue out," That's what we are... Live with it..." He says as he tightens his pants that was suspended up with a old rope. He puts another knot on it and leaps foward, on the scent of the kid.

Brol crosses his arms. "Finally getting the hang of it..." He says as he bits into another ether and steps towards a decrepit house. He rubs the dust off one of the steps on the stairs as he steps down and dashs foward, in the direction of the train. The reaper's eyes widen as he slides his hands on the top of the train and heel slams himself into the small capacitated room of the train to spot, Rena, a weird skeleton dude and another guy, and some random heartless. Brol leans back on the door to the front of the train as he scratches his chin. "Yah no Rena I thought it was you...but i had to come here for myself... but hoggin' all the fun..." He points to the two in front of her. "Now that's just rude!" He flips his hair as he crossed his arms," Where the hell have you been? And where's what his face?" He asked Rena, probably forgetting what had happened in the Pride Lands.

Meanwhile, Dy runs on all fours from hill to hill as he creeps behind the three kids and the bag. "Why would they need that kid..." He says as he pulls out his handkatana and jumps into a tree to only lunge himself infront of the three kids, slashing the top of the bag open. "Aw kids don't you know it's rude to bag small ugh things like that? You should properly ask the thing or person before you kidnap..." He shakes his head as he pulls his hat down a bit.

Crossing his arms, Dy kneels down to the kids level," Now then... what's your plan with this guy.. and whose Oogie Boogie?" He glares into the devil-masked kid.

[i'm only using a side personality of Brol's to get my character more interaction :3 if you don't want this Rena i can easily change my post no problem :) but here's a ref pic

[Aphex]

The heartless was just about ready for anything that Rashnear had to throw at him, now watching as he was engulfed entirely by flames. Despite the fact that it left the boy somewhat intimidated, he still stood his ground as he held both wrist blades out in front of him. Yet, Rashnear never did reach the two as the boy spotted something green wrapping around the enemy.

"This is my town. And you're not welcome here!"

Glancing over to the side, Derrick spotted a Skeleton! With one swift tug, Rashnear was thrown off to the side which the heartless ended up running over to the Skeleton's side. IF he was going to fight off Rashnear, Derrick was going to help no matter what.

"Now leave before I have to get serious!"

Scraping both blades against one another, the heartless took a defensive stance and waited for Rashnear to get up. Even though he was outnumbered, he knew that their enemy was still going to put up one Hell of a fight.

"Well well well, and what do we have here, hmmm?"

Chiyu suddenly felt a strange, evil presence near them as the breeze turned icy cold. She immediately went on her stance and then setting Sally aside. "Oh my... he found us." stuttered the rag doll woman, utterly not the voice she wanted to hear on that very moment.

"Your boyfriend isn't here to protect you know, little lady! And now, I'm the king, hahahahahaha!"

Even with the tone of the being's voice, Chiyu can tell that he reeks from evil essence seeping out of his presence. But regardless she needed to stay alert. Then it happened, they are surrounded instantly by this being's minions. "Heartless?" even in this world lurks the dark beings called the heartless similar to the ones who always come in Chiyu's way back in Traverse Town.

Suddenly, strings of web suddenly sprung out of the mist, ensnaring Sally in the process. It was too late, Chiyu wasn't able to pull her back from the being's mercy. Leaving her and the ghost dog in the middle of the fray and with Sally being taken away by the evil being.

"Well..."

Chiyu stomped the ground creating a strong shockwave and then took stance. She then channeled her chi unto her hands and feet, She then performed her Yin-Yang stances one after another as the horde of heartless altogether lunged at her. She stomped the ground and then a spinning side kick connected that pierced through the heartless' gut. She held her kick up high and then threw the heartless unto the rest of the crowd. She landed on a crouching stance as the heartless kept on coming at her.

From her crouching stance, she performed a spinning low kick, ripping the surrounding heartless apart like a serrated blade. She kept on spinning until she rose from the ground,

"Oodama Tatsumaki!"

generating sharp shockwaves and then a rising spinning kick from ground to mid-air; creating a violent tempest. In mid-air, she canceled her spinning kick and then flipped higher in the air. She then uses her super speed to generate 8 afterimages. She then positioned herself in mid-air to perform a 90 degree thrust kick to the ground.

"Tenryu! Raijin no Kyaku!"

Her and the afterimages struck down to the ground like lightning bolts plummeting in huge impact altogether. Wiping the whole crowd in the process. She was then seen standing with a kanji character on her back that translates as "Dragon".

She eased up and then made her way towards Guillotine Square.
