Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

Kaida heard Cailyn's comment about her telling Roe to back her up because "the newbie was doing fine on her own". She was not sure if she should be happy about proud of herself for doing so well that people thought that way, or if she should be upset over the fact the two were doing more of their own thing. She looked at the weasel Cailyn had not finished off, and she finished it off. Then she decided that the two of them could handle the guards for a bit. She was going to take on Pete.

She set her eyes at him, almost as if there was a sort of lock-on system and she ran at him. Pete's eyes widened in terror and he let out a "WOAH" then ran off for just a little bit before she let out a yell and ran at Pete. She slashed down with her keyblade and knocked him to the ground. She noticed the weasels paying more attention to her but she still hacked and slashed at Pete as much as she could. She grabbed Pete and using as much strength as she could muster she moved him in front of her so the guards would not attack him.

Kaida backed up a bit to breathe and reanalyzed her strategy. Kaida hit Pete once more before she looked over at Cailyn and Roe shouting, "Hey, are you two alright over there?"

In an instant, Glen was spit out of the mirror and landed on his backside with a soft thump, once again in the mysterious tower. He blinked twice, unable to believe what he had just experienced. By thinking about the reflection, his thoughts had been mirrored and reversed, and clearly the mirror didn't see the humour in it. He had tasted funny in a bad way, and been sent back out of the mirror. And back to the wrath of Karina.

Fortunately for him, she seemed to not be focused on the mirror, so there was a chance she hadn't actually noticed him be spit back out. The best option for him right at that moment was to do his best to avoid grabbing her attention, and if he did that then just maybe he would survive to see another day. Then again, if she attacked him, he had beaten her once before so he could probably do it again, especially with her injuries. Then again, after what he had said he wouldn't be surprised if everybody hated him. Good as he was, he wouldn't be able to handle everyone.

Walking over to Raisor quickly, he poked him on the shoulder to get his attention. "Good to see you're still, you know, alive after that battle. How're you feeling? Oh yeah, mirror's busted" Glen said, not speaking quietly but by no means speaking loudly either.

 

Raisor eyed around the room, wondering if there was anything that could be of use to them while they were stuck there. The others were either looking around or talking, but since Raisor was in his own little world for a while, the most he got was that someone was getting on the other's nerves and the yelling started. He had gotten good at blocking out sound he didn't want to hear growing up, though maybe that wasn't such a good thing at times. The only thing they had to go on was what sounded like a mouse running through the mirror and that was about it. Raisor figured the mouse was the thing that ran behind him a minute ago that he didn't see, but Raisor wasn't going to worry about it.

As he pondered on what exactly he could do, he felt a poke on his shoulder and looked to who it was. Glen was standing next to him, keeping his voice down for some reason. Raisor wasn't sure why his voice was down, but he guessed it was better down than up. In this small room it might not have been fun having too many people yelling at once. Even Raisor would get annoyed with that many voices, and he might just jump out the window to escape the annoyance if it occurred. Glen also mentioned the mirror being broken, and Raisor figured he was talking about the mirror the mouse went through. Of course it wasn't going to be that easy, and nothing was going to prove that wrong any time soon it seemed like.

"Well, if the mirror doesn't work, we can always have Merlin fix it like he did back in Central Haven." He began eyeing the room again, seeing if he could spot anything out of the ordinary. "Why are you so quiet though? Were you the one behind the noise a minute ago? You just attract trouble anywhere you go don't you?"

 

Roe looked over to Cailyn, hearing her asking for help as she seemed to be having a hard time. Roe groaned before A guard suddenly came up and tried attacking her, but she sliced it in half before it could hit her. She then began to make her way to Cailyn as she hit two more guards, "Ugh, there's no end to these!" She complained and then swung once more at a guard, injuring it afterwards.

Roe finally got to Cailyn and stood beside her, Keyblade ready to fight more of the guards. "I thought you could handle these guys?" She asked, frantically looking around as Guards began to surround them.

Steel watched in silence as one by one each of his comrades left for inside the tower. He had originally intended to go in after them, but he decided to stay outside for a bit longer. As the last person waltzed casually into the tower, he turned to look out at the endless sea of stars that had been behind him. There were quite a few more than usual; upon close inspection, he noticed multiple of the same starts. If what he had learned so far was to be believed, it was because of the time belts. Of course, Steel had not reason to doubt the information he was given, and the enigmatic rival group wasn't very subtle in confirming the information. The possibility of misleading them could be considered further, but he really doubted it at this point. Before he could stand there too long and analyze the situation too much, the voice of an ever present companion broke through his thoughts.

"Master, they'll be needing you soon." Kai whispered silently. Steel started a bit, but quickly collected himself. "Right... I'll be on my way then." He turned back to the tower and hurried to catch up with the group; a simple feat for him. Slowing into a jog, he trailed slightly behind the rest of them on the last set of stairs. It was glowing a bright golden color, and formed a straight path to the door at the top; unlike the other staircases, which had been the conductors of some rather roundabout paths. He could clearly hear that there was quite a panic at the top of steps... but for some reason he was taking his sweet time getting there.

When he did finally reach the top of the steps the only thing that popped into his mind amongst the chaos was: "Wow, this room is messy." He immediately walked over to one of the small pools of what Base (Who he was quite happy to have around) quickly deduced was ink, and stuck all of his fingers in. He twirled them around a bit as he watched the room descend into utter chaos. None of it really mattered to him; it was just Karina making a scene, and then complaining that they reacted to it. Honestly, he didn't get the whole combination of "I'm trying to prove I belong in this group," and "I don't frickin' care about any of your opinions on the matter." Really, she should just come clean and admit the fact that she just wanted to punch everyone, whether they deserved it or not. He figured she probably had her reasons though, so he'd just not say anything... which she would probably find a way to go off on him for.

Focusing on the ink again, he tried to see if he could sense any form of magic, seeing as there was quite a bit more ink than could possibly be caused by tipping over a bottle. It came back positive, but he couldn't really tell what the magic was actually for. Sensing an entirely different form of magic, he quickly intercepted an ink blot with his clawed hands as Karina had begun to clean up the books. After absorbing the liquid into his claws, he quickly turned his attention back to his own cleaning, which was nearly done. Looking down at his claws and seeing that the ink pool was almost gone, he began to question whether anybody had noticed his presence. If Karina only just recently saw him working. She might see it as him attempting to "Help" her, and go ballistic on him. He already shuddered to think of what her response to Ananta mopping would be. He finished his work and stood to walk over to a safer area. It was then that he noticed a strange black smoke coming from his hand. He stood next to the mirror as he silently observed the strange phenomenon. The smoke was really more of a short black line trail that followed the ends of his fingers and faded into wisps of vapor as they ended. Steel just shrugged as he walked over to the statue. He gave his own smirk in return to the stone figures. "It adds to my heebie jeebie factor, wouldn't you agree master?" He knew that the master wasn't dead; turning oneself into stone had been documented before, but he was unsure of just how the problem would be solved this particular time. He thought the ink might have something to do with it, but he couldn't really be sure. Oh well; food for thought. It was too bad they wouldn't be able to ask Yen Sid about regenerating Beuce's arm just yet though.

 

Making her way up the stairs, she couldn't help but to look at how magical the interior of the tower was. Knowing who's home it was shouldn't come to a surprise but even so, it's not everyday she got to be in a place like this so she took her time to get to the top. Although at one point, curiosity got the best of her that she leaned over to the edge to see how high she's gotten. Obviously a big mistake for anyone who's afraid of heights and so that point and on, Rain practically crawled her way up until she reached a door. It yet lead to another empty room with with glowing stars surrounding a door across from her. She took a small break since she was still exhausted from the heartless killing spree and plus the climbing of the stairs.Rain hoped that this door would be the final one leading to his room because honestly she didn't want to climb anymore stairs.

Upon opening the door it was a bit of both meaning there was more stairs ,however, they weren't spiraled and long but rather straight and short leading up to a door that was different from the others she's seen before. "This has a golden aura around the door while the others had green making it special, so this one has to lead-" she stopped at the sudden noise and voices coming from the other side of the door. They weren't very pleasant to hear, making her question if something bad had occurred. Too bad there weren't any windows to peek in so if she wanted to find out she had to go in. Gently pressing her hand on the door, she carefully made her way in hoping that her entrance wouldn't be apparent to everyone inside. What she saw next was something that would be hard to forget later on. It could've been a statue of the master for all she knew but given the fact on how everyone was acting was giving the answer quite clear that it wasn't. Not to mention the mess that laid everywhere. "Well standing here while looking shocked won't help this situation so.." She noticed someone was already cleaning up what appeared be to ink so why not help out. Her eyes searched on the floor for any books that seemed to be intact still. Then began picking them up and returning them to their proper place.

 

With a single retching "BLECH!" the mirror literally threw Base up from the portal on the side he'd left from. He saw Glen, as he intended, but he didn't seem to be in much danger since there were far more Keybladers on the side he landed on than he expected. "Something is keeping us from going through. Good to know." He wished he'd known sooner, since, pardoning the pun, he had landed on his keys. He kept some keychains in his back pocket for ready use, but he was silently hoping his boney posterior hadn't snapped anything. "If I know Yen Sid, there's a method to this madness..." Once he spotted everyone cleaning up, that was when it clicked. "Keep picking up! There's got to be something here we need to find. Whoever it was who ran over this place couldn't find it, but that person isn't us. We'll be able to find it."

He stumbled to his feet and began picking up books and scanning over them. His perusal of the subject matter was rushed, but thorough as he made every attempt to get them all from point A to point B.

 

Ananta had finished cleaning up the ink in a third of the room. She was now casually pouring the inky water down and out the star shaped window. Looking below, it seemed to just disappear into the depths below. Turning back, she looked over to see D'daear wiggling to try and clean ink off his back. Rolling her eyes, Ananta made clean water and took a wash rag in her hand. She moved to each person in the room and cleaned any ink off of them. It wasn't as bad as she thought. She even got the ink off her new jacket. Soon after, she turned to clean off Yen Sid. She didn't want him to wake back up some day and be covered in ink. Wiping the ink off, Ananta heard Merlin and Hikaru speaking. Seemed the mirror was busted or something and people were getting spat out. After she made sure Yen Sid and his throne were devoid of any ink, Ananta threw the rag down to stretch. As she stretched, she saw D'daear move the table from the door.

Walking over to him, Ananta tapped D'daear's back. "What're you doing?" she asked him, looking at the door.

 

With a simple push, the door swung open, letting out a small creak. It left the boy a little surprised as he had not considered the possibility of this large frame to be a door. Curiosity. It drives everyone, and D'daear was no different to the sudden itch for knowledge. "It's a door...?" he muttered under his breath. Corneas adjusted themselves to see what was up ahead in this new found room. The room had clothes of all shapes and sizes laying around neatly, with a curtain pulled to the sides of a window. One thing that caught the boy's attention was the large wardrobe that stood tall and among other objects that seemed to be covered by- A tap on the back interrupted the boy's observation. D'daear turned his head to see Ananta from the corner of the eyes. Not wanting to be rude, he turned his entire body about face with a mellow expression. "Oh hey, Ananta. I'm just cleaning up like everyone...heh...Uuh! Thanks for wiping the mess off my back...!" he replied, rubbing the back of his neck with a earnest smile; the ink stain was still there. With curled fingers, he extended a thumb and aimed it behind him. "I was...about to head inside this room... thought maybe it wouldn't hurt to investigate...." the explanation went. Averting eyes away from Ananta's stare, he examined the room to see if anyone was paying attention. Most seemed busy with their chores, thoughts, chatter, or their own investigative work to notice what was going on...maybe. D'daear gazed back at Ananta. Pursing his lips in thought, he turned back around to face the new room only for a moment letting his head turn so the corner of eyes could see Ananta. "You want to join me?" he asked, hoping to boost their comradery with this courtesy.

Mind was already set, however. Not waiting for a response, he took the initiative and took the first step of many inside the small hallway that connected the room with the sorcerer's chamber. Each step revealed more about the room that his eyes would otherwise be unable to see had he not decided to step in. Upon reaching the end of the hallway, peripherals attracted the boy's attention briefly to the left where a small lamp resembling Yen Sid's hat was placed atop a small table. Like a clue that led to another, D'daear's head looked up to see a large covered furniture laying against the wall where the lamp was. The cloth that wrapped itself around the object was beautiful. It was beige with gold trimming, and it had three folds that all connected to a start shaped emblem at the center with two pull strings beneath the star. And that wasn't the only one in the room. There were a few others that were covered in similar material, with one of them having a heart shaped emblem instead of a star. D'daear's feet took him further within the room. A small round wooden table was set at the center of the room, with a large chair. Blue eyes were to quick to register the small item that laid atop the table. Further beyond to the wall, a wardrobe stood tall in between a gap where two closed windows rested. There was more than one wardrobe, which followed the same placement. To the right against the wall rested a dresser with a small mirror, and a red chair.

The boy's mouth gaped a little in awe at everything. This room was very spacious. "I can't help but feel at ease here..." the thought popped up. An urge to rummage through everything suddenly stirred within him, but he knew better. It wasn't his home, and since the room was untouched, it was obvious to assume no one had been here. Letting out a sigh, he decided to rest on the large wooden chair. Upon turning to the chair, he noticed an object resting atop the table. A silver border, oval shaped with a round black pad attached to its center; big enough for the palm of his hand to cover. The outer rim of the object had a yellow-orange color to it, with three metal pieces protruding upward, and out of the object like a blunt, roundish rectangular trident that crowned the top of the object. He wanted it, and yet his morale compass spoke up tugging at his mind to NOT touch it.

Looking to the doorway, he couldn't help but feel a bit...of a troublemaker. As he turned back to the object, he was shocked to find that his hand was already hovering over the object at question. He bit his lower lip, feeling a huge wave of guilt fall over him. A small barely audible groan escape him as he rested the hand over the object, folding fingers around it. Lifting the object off the table, he found it to weigh a little over three pounds. It was big enough that his hand couldn't wrap completely around it. He turned it over to see that it had a soft underbelly, and straps. What was this? Would anyone even notice this small detail if he took it with him?

"Uugh...I hope not..." he uttered in distasteful defeat as temptation won him over. Having good control of his hands, he strapped the object over his left forearm, on top of his large green sweat band. Extending his arm out, he examined the "new look". The trident like metal pieces that crowned the object faced the tip of his fingers. It didn't look half bad on him. Lowering his arm, blue eyes scanned the rest of the area.

"What else can I find?" he queried to himself.

 

Watching D'daear, Ananta couldn't help but think about how peculiar this boy was. The way he acted was curious and the way he responded to her all seemed very awkward. As if he hadn't really talked to people before or something. Scratching her head, she wondered why he thought the stain wasn't gone from his clothing. She had cleaned it fast enough, a stain shouldn't have formed. D'daear went into the room and Ananta couldn't help but sigh. He had moved the desk, but hadn't really moved it enough to where it wasn't in the way. So, instead of just letting it sit there, Ananta began to move the stone desk back in front of Yen Sid. At least, that's where she thought it belonged. What with his throne in the room and books everywhere, it just seemed like it was the best place for it to go.

First things first, Ananta slid the desk on it's side to sit in front of Yen Sid. She was extra careful to not hit Yen Sid as she slid past him. Once it was in position, Ananta stopped to rest a moment. The room was looking better, but things still needed to be cleaned. All the ink was nearly cleaned up and the books were almost all back in their places. Karina still looked very angry and Ananta didn't know what to do about that. Maybe she should just ignore her from now on. Maybe then Karina wouldn't get so angry all the time. Maybe Karina would be able to have a better time here if Ananta left her alone.

Sighing, Ananta decided to just get back to work and go join D'daear in the room. Taking a good grip on the desk, Ananta pulled as hard as she could until the desk finally was sitting upright. Looking down at the desk, Ananta wiped her hands over it to make sure there was nothing on it. Soon enough, she turned around and saw the biggest book in the room was still not on a shelf. Of course, it didn't even look like there was a shelf that could be tall enough for this book to sit on anyway. Picking up the book, Ananta sat it down in front of Yen Sid. A candle and a plate sat next to where she put the table, so Ananta picked it up and sat it there. There was a strange dust on the plate that Ananta couldn't tell what it was. Shrugging, she was finally done moving the desk.

Now, she needed to go into that room with D'daear and see what he was up to. Stepping towards the door, Ananta pushed it open all the way and continued down the short hallway towards the opposite door. Now that she was finally in the room, she was able to get a good look of the room (read hexin's description of the room). Ananta looked over to see D'daear had some kind of patch thing on his arm now. She walked to him and looked at it, tilting her head. "What's that?" she asked, pointing at it.

 

Kross felt that familiar pull in the pit of his stomach and closed his eyes. Something in his gut violently jerked him back and he opened his eyes wide. He looked around and then behind him, seeing the mirror of the hallway he was just in coming fast. He reoriented himself and curled up, closing his eyes tight. The mirror spat him back out. He shifted his weight and threw himself up, backflipping and landed on his feet, sliding back in a kneeling position. He opened his eyes and looked up quickly, running at the mirror and put his hand on it, gritting his teeth."No! This can't be.. it spit me back out...but how?"He asked, looking around and then to his frozen master."Master Yen Sid, what happened to you.." He murmured and went closer to him, ignoring everything that was going on. He kneeled by his master and put one hand on the cold stone hand and another on his shoulder. He leaned his head on the arm and began to murmur something incoherent, a prayer for safety in his own language. He felt angry, sad and confused, but he couldn't let what happened to his Master get him down. He would find a way to fix this, either on his own or with his friends. He didn't care.

 

Things had calmed down a bit up until Karina had tried to slugged Ananta, who responded by using aero which splashed the ink everywhere. Why she didn't just dodge out of the way instead of using a spell, Kel wouldn't know, but it wasn't all that important right now. Starting with Karina the cleaning of the study had begun. What they were looking for or trying to gain by doing this wasn't all that clear, but something had to pop up if they looked hard enough.

Kel had started picking up whatever books and trinkets that were still on the floor. With each book that he picked up he briefly flipped through the pages to see whether or not there was anything useful in them. Three books had passed and nothing was found. Next thing that he picked up was a small orb. At first glance it didn't seem like much and Kel was tempted to ignore moments after picking it up, but before he had the chance to do so, the orb in his hand started to glow. The glow had gotten brighter till a hologram of Yen Sid was standing before him. "Hey guys, I found something of use." He said to the others, likely turning that attention away from cleaning duty and to the hologram.

 

"He taught you too, didn't he?" A voice calmly traveled over Kross's shoulder. Base was wiping ink off a book covering "Ice Spells" when he spotted the recently returned Kross crumble to dust in front of the stony personage that made everyone at least a little uncomfortable. "We've never really gotten to know each other very well. My memory's been a little foggy lately... weren't you at the enchanted castle with the Beast?" He allowed for a response from Kross, but likewise continued with his stream of consciousness too. "I learned a lot from him too. He saved me from utter destruction right when I needed it most, and even though I didn't feel like I could be much of a hero, Yen Sid pushed me a little bit further to become one. Now I'm here with you and many other heroes. He knew what he was doing all along, and Kross, the one thing I want to say to you is: if he taught you any amount of anything, you can look him right in the eye right now and stand as if nothing is wrong. If he is gone, then he went on his terms doing what he knew was right. If he's just locked away right now, he knew something we don't, but we'll be the ones to figure things out, because I feel like he's the one person who plans on Wild Cards."

It was then that a faint glow caught Base's eye after patting Kross confidently on the shoulder. He heard, "Hey guys, I found something of use." That was Kel, and it certainly did seem like something of use. It was a hologram of the old master himself. Base grinned broadly. It was his first time seeing the wizard so vibrantly after being sent along to meet Krowley and Shapur where Dumbo lived.

 

"What else can I find here?" he queried to himself, gazing over to the wardrobe.

"What's that?" someone asked from behind.

D'daear jumped at those words, causing for a quick about face. Like a child he tried hiding the large device by folding both arms as they intersected one another. "Wh-what? " he spat out, giving her a wide eyed nervous glance. No excuses came to came to mind. Mind raced at how to explain the situation, but he knew he had been caught. So why bother. Laxing the eyes, he let out a sigh while dropping both arms. "Uumm...I'm not sure myself. I just found it here, on top of this desk-" he said, pointing to the small table next to him. "I know it doesn't belong to me, but seeing as what has been going on with the Yen Sid Wizard person...I figured...he won't be needing it anytime soon...?" he explained, averting his eyes in coyly. Lips pursed briefly. "I can always...just put it back..." he contemplated out loud. However, he had a better idea. Eyes lit up momentarily, before looking Ananta in the eyes. He snickered. "...ooor we can check out what's behind all these magnificent drawers/wardrobes?" he questioned, slowly backing away from her and towards the wardrobe to his right, and to Ananta's left. Eyes never broke the gaze that the two were giving each other, even as he neared the wardrobe. Not making haste, D'daear reached out towards the wardrobes door handle, and readied to open. Who knew what was on the other side? Considering how everyone had a different taste in style, behind the wardrobe's doors could perhaps be a whole new world of clothes that they had never seen before; or maybe just to D'daear. Building the suspense, the boy clasped fingers over a handle, and pulled. The small door swung open, the shadows slowly dissipating as light entered the dark confines of this outfitter. Bit by bit, the light revealed an abundance of outfits...and I mean an abundance.

Vests, Jackets, Robes, coats, boots, shoes, gloves, wristbands, long-sleeved shirts, short sleeved shirts, no sleeved shirts, pants of all shapes and sizes, hats of all shapes and sizes; and all of this was merely what was visible at the front. It appeared the wardrobe was large enough to fit four of him. D'daear peeked inside, jaw gaping at the plethora of wears available. He looked back to Ananta to see her reaction, and to show his before turning to gaze back at the wears. "WHOOOAAAA'HOAA'HOOAAA!!!" he said out loud in amazement. Once again, his childish curiosity pulled him, feet stepping inside the wardrobe. Taking his first steps, he began to rummage through the large expanse of wears, eyes fondling every detail of everywhere. "This is incredible!!!" he shouted in glee. Hands went about touching the textures. He knew nothing of tailoring, but it was obvious many of these things were made of different colored material. Fingers twitched with excitement. Surprisingly, the wardrobe expanded further in, creating a hallway of just racks and racks of wears. He went about dressing himself for fun's sake, trying out bizarre combinations of wears. (Insert montage)

He tried on many things, like a black leather bomber jacket with fur trimmings at the neck, a bizarre trouser where one leg was longer than the other, a blue headscarf, and low-cut sandal like leather boots, and even other outfits that probably were never meant to be worn by guys. "This...doesn't feel right..." he murmured in a blush, as he realized he accidentally dawned woman's armor. It was silver/gold Valkyrie like suit of armor, with a feathery cloth that tailed from the sides and back of his waist, to about as long as his legs. Removing the round shield from his arm, he quickly took everything off and acquired another outfit. After a few minutes of changing around was when a voice spoke up in Yen Sid's chambers. Being in another room, and wardrobe, the voice was barely audible. Heck, were it not for the silence in THIS particular room, he might have not heard it at all. D'daear quickly peaked out of the wardrobes entrance dawning a red feathery hat, a red haori, and sunglasses that leaned forward.

"Did someone say something?" he inquired, raising an eyebrow.

 

D'daear was being really weird now. Not only did he have a mini heart attack in front of Ananta, but he also tried to defend him stealing something as taking advantage of Yen Sid. Ananta got angry and glared at him as he tried to play it off and slide over to a wardrobe. She crossed her arms and watched him fake amazement at what he found. Her eyes rolled as she started to watch him try on different outfits. They all looked like some crazy outfit a main character in a TV show or video game would wear. Although, some people in their group also looked similar to that, but that's not the point.

Turning her head, Ananta could faintly hear Kel speaking about something. Turning towards it, Ananta almost left the room. She only stopped herself because she knew she couldn't just leave D'daear here. Who knew what he could or would do to those clothes. Walking over to him, Ananta took the clothes he borrowed off and grabbed his arm, pulling towards the main room. As they walked, she scolded D'daear. "Honestly, you're acting like you're a kid. Rummaging through someone's clothing and whatnot. And on top of that, you almost stole something! I hope you put it back." she said, not looking to see if he did. She was just going to trust him on that part.

As they walked into the room, she looked at Kel and saw the orb in his hand was glowing and that a hologram of Yen Sid was in the room with them. "Master Yen Sid..." she said, blinking her eyes.

 

The tone that the hologram form of Yen Sid was speaking in definitely wasn't the most hopeful of tones. If not for the fact that his stone body was was sitting there in his chair, what he said about his potential fate definitely would've affected the mood in a bad way. Yen Sid then proceeded to mention something about a book. That explained why the room was in such a mess when they'd arrived. The person responsible for all this had to have bee looking for it.

Next thing that caught his attention was the wielders that he named off. It had been some time since their group was that small. It was a bit surprising that he's had this ready for all this time, but he guessed that there was more to Yen Sid than just magic and foresight seemed to be one of those talents.

The hologram then faded away after speaking their current objectives. Save the worlds, not surprising. Find Terra, Ventus and Aqua, those weren't names that he was all too familiar with but they had to be important. Lastly find the book. The only lead that they had right now was the mouse that went through the mirror, so that was likely going to take some detective work or something along those lines. The mirror was now up and running, despite up chucking two people earlier, and it looked like it was time for them to go. Hikaru on the other hand seemed to not want to leave Yen Sid behind. "We don't have much choice, besides, It'd be a real pain to have to carry around a stone master. That'd be dangerous for whoever's carrying him and the master himself."

 

Kross paused in his prayers as a voice behind him resounded. He turned his head to the side but didn't look completely at the person who spoke. He had a pretty good idea of who the voice came from. He nodded to the question mutely. He then heard Base go on about the fact that he had to stand up and move on. The hand on his shoulder prompted him to pat Base's hand in reply and rose to his feet. He turned to Base, seeing him look at something, then followed his gaze. What he saw made his knees weak. It may have been just a hologram projection, but that was the spitting image of his master. "Terra..Ventus..Aqua.."He murmured, then something happened, two lights came to him and everyone else. A new keychain along with a new ability. He accepted both and looked down at the keychain, two stars with a moon dangling at the bottom. When he wished them luck, he looked up, eyes wide as the hologram was glitching."Master, wait!" He ran over, arms outreached just as Yen Sid glitched out of existence. He stood there in shock for a moment, processing what had happened before he dropped to his knees. If he wasn't depressed before, now was a real ringer for him.
