THE OOC THREAD http://kh-vids.net/threads/kingdom-hearts-origins-ooc.144497/​

Yggdrasil has spoken and those who is has seen worthy were to be given the weapons to defend evil and protect light. Only this could keep the balance of the Realm of Twilight. Now it is onto the people on what happens next. The world is large and contains many worlds we know today. Before the Great World Separation, this was home.

1:00 P.M. - DAY 1 - 48 hours remains​

​

Mist Eon Vindication, a girl of little knowledge of the outside, wondered the streets of Twilight City. It had just been 3 days since Yggdrasil had granted her and many other weapons to fight back the heartless that came from the east. How and why they came was unknown to most of them. All they knew was that Heartless were previous humans without hearts; without a soul. All they did was destroy and kill. She couldn't, she wouldn't let them have there way. For the generations to come, she wanted to show them a world of peace, not terror.

Her claws that were granted to her appeared out of thin air. People had begun to call it Materialization. It didn't matter. Heartless were coming for her and she needed to defeat them. So far, the only heartless to have been seen were the small black ones. At first, people thought they were cute dolls, that was only until they were attacked and killed. Mist charged at the incoming creatures and sliced them away. What was really weird about them was when one died, a heart came flying out, only to vanish. She hoped others who had the weapons of Yggdrasil were helping others as she was.

​

The man sat on top of one of the buildings on Royal Port. Another wonderful night he had sacrificing the living to the tree of Yggdrasil. He only wished to drench its roots with the blood of his volunteers. Killing was only fun in the night though. That's when the blood shined under the dark twilight sky. He licked his Scythes clean of any extra leftovers.

He leaped down and entered one of the buildings, after removing his mask. "Give me one of your best drinks sir. The day is fresh and I am in need of some additional pleasure." He tossed over some coins and was given a beverage of whatever the bartender poured. He drank and began to relax. "Where should I go tonight hmhm."

 

Zane Wynter wandered the streets of Twilight City, carrying his large great sword as he did so. He, like Mist, was helping others. Before he had received the weapon to fight the heartless, Zane had tried to help fend off the heartless, but he had been unarmed then, and had been little to no help at all. Not anymore though. No, now he was armed and ready to fight for the people that needed his help.

In a narrow alleyway, and suddenly a few small, shadow-like heartless rose from the ground. This wasn't the first time he had seen this kind of heartless, he had seen them many times before, and he knew that alone they weren't too much trouble. The problem was, these ones weren't alone. Shifting his great sword into a defensive position, the swordsman prepared for the inevitable attack and began plotting his own counterattack.

Dain was seated down on the gutter nearby Zane in Twilight City. He had his war-axe sitting on his lap, and was simply waiting for his prey; the heartless. He had already cleared out a few of them himself somewhat easily, but due to the nature of the dark he had a hunch he would find some soon. A thought crossed his mind as he sat; curiousity, really. He wondered where his friend, India, was. He had told him earlier in the day he was planning to go heartless hunting, and had mostly expected him to show. However, it seemed that that was not the case.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of metal clanging against the ground. Eyes still closed in thought, a slight smirk appeared on the young man's face; a battle was near. Standing up, he hefted his war-axe onto his shoulders and began running towards the sounds of battle. The hunt had begun once more, and the hunter was on the move once again.

 

​

Riluc watched the clouds as he lay upon the beach, listening to the sing-song clash of the waves upon the shore. The wind brushed his face and he smiled. "Man!" He yawned, the warm sun gracing his being. "This is such a wonderful day to be alive!" He laughed. The nice warm sand, the spray of the sea... it was all peaceful to him. Over Riluc's head, stabbed into the ground in an X-shape, was his weapons he got from the Tree of Life: Yggdrasil. He was blessed with two swords, identical sabers. Riluc knew he could dematerialize them at any time, but he couldn't stop having them around, couldn't go for a moment without looking at them. They were beautiful and interesting; he never had his own set of weapons before.

"What a wonderful day," he sighed, closing his eyes. Not soon after, he began to snore.

 

(Banner in progress)

The white haired individual known as India strode along a path to where he was supposed to meet his friend Dain. He knew he was late, but he had been a bit preoccupied with his studies. They were intending to hunt some heartless together. Honestly, India found the creatures interesting. The darkness given form. He wondered how such a thing was possible. However, the chance to study them was...hard to come by to say the least.


In any case, they were going to die today. His eyes locked on a swordsman battling them. He tossed forth the Glaive given to him by Yggdrasil. As it struck the first heartless, a bolt of lightning was called down and channeled through the glaive, sending sparks to enemies around. ​

 

"Walking the endless street is better with a friend like you."
​

>>>Kotone walked along the dusty road. Today would have been better if her friend Rin had been around. She figured Rin had missed the bus and just didn't want to get to school, which was actually a shame. It wasn't your typical day today. Their history teacher had actually been entertaining today. He had told them that they'd all be swallowed by Heartless one of these days. Kotone had been one of the few that just laughed it off. Some girls cried, and some just stayed serious.

>>>Still, Yggdrasil had obviously given them weapons for a reason. Kotone couldn't help but feel like Professor Mono was right. She stopped to check out her sword and whip. The whip was bubblegum pink, and the sword had a cotton candy blue hilt. They matched her hair. "What a nice touch."

>>>Kotone continued to Rin's house, wondering if Rin had been as lucky as her to get some cool weapon. Knowing Rin, she'd probably go silent and mute until she knew what to do with the thing. Kotone gave a small snicker to herself as she started running, even more eager to see her best friend.

 

[/url]Weee~ School had finished rather nicely for this young girl and she was just going to go milling about the day as she always had. Like a good defender of the light, chosen of Yggdrasil, yada yada yada, would! This involved simply strolling around the area, looking for a place to spring into action and be helpful! It was here, Twilight City, where the most amount of trouble was found...okay that probably wasn't true, but it was the only place she had really explored for finding said trouble. She was a helpful person, but not that helpful that she would go into far away places. No no. Especially when this place was swamped as it was. As she perused the streets, she saw something rather interesting. Down an alley way, there was just some weird black blobby thing, wriggling, writhin- OH! Right, the heartless. She was wondering what it was doing back there, only for it to turn around and notice her. As it saw her, it slowly crept forward, and so Amethyst had to go and do her civic duty...and kill the shit out of it.

Her job suddenly became more annoying as roughly four more heartless appeared to spawn out of the ground and waddle their way towards her. Taking off her play face and going into her more serious expression, she had her blade knuckles materialize within her hands. She then decided that they were taking way too long to get to her, so she sped things up. Running towards them, she first slammed her fist downward and instantly killed the first heartless. The two others jumped at her from the side, only for her to take both of her fists and use the blades coming out of the sides of them to stab them in midair. With that, only two remained, which simply tried a frontal approach. As they leaped towards her, she punched the both of them, killing them instantly as well. Well, that was a good days load of work. She was rather interested in just what these heartless really were, and why they were even spilling into here in the first place. Unfortunately killing them as soon as they appeared yielded little in any sort of breakthrough...but hey, it was the only thing she could do. So with that, she simply continued to walk along the street, looking for any more heartless to spawn and kill.

 

"What I need and what you're offering are two separate things."​

Rin stared out the window. She had no idea what to do with the bow and arrows she had been sent from Yggdrasil. All she was doing now was waiting for Kotone to show up. If Kotone showed up, she could help her out. Funny thing was, Kotone was the only person that Rin didn't have a crippling shyness around. When it was anyone else, Rin was pretty much mute, even with Kotone around.

School was the worst though, people picked on Rin all the time. Kotone had actually asked to be held back until Rin could graduate so that she could stick up for her. Kotone was a naturally mean person, and she insulted everyone with a smile on her face. Rin didn't much approve, but it kept people off her back.

Rin heard her doorbell ring and got up to answer. Right on cue, it was Kotone.

"Walking the endless street is better with a friend like you."​

​

"Heya Rin!"

"Kotone... Hi." Rin said to her shorter friend with a smile. "I got a bow and arrows from Yggdrasil."

"Really? That's hella! I just got a whip and a short sword. Guess I can tie the sword to the whip." Kotone giggled and showed her the weapons. "Hey, you missed school today. What say we take a walk as I explain everything?" She didn't give Rin a chance to nod or answer before dragging her outside.

Kotone recounted everything from the start to the end. "...And Professor Mono said we'd all fall into despair! Pretty fuckin' crazy, right?" Kotone blinked and noticed Rin was behind her. When she turned, an arrow shot past her face and killed a Heartless. "Rin! Watch where you shoot that crap!" Kotone drew her weapons and readied for battle. "I'd just like one day where I don't have to do anything!"

 

2:30 P.M. - DAY 1 - 46.5 hours remain


​

Mist had finished off the heartless that had spawned. Hopefully Twilight City was in good hands. She alone couldn't do everything. But the little she could do gave her a smile. Some effort was being done instead of none. The sounds of clashing could be heard in the distance. She rushed over to see what it was. Two wielders of Yggdrasil were fighting against one another. That could only cause more harm then good. Mist needed to step in to stop these two.

She leaped forward and stood between Dmetri and Dawn, her claws blocking both their weapons. "Both of you need to stop. We are here to make peace, not war. Look, Heartless are coming and you two only care about a brawl. People are in danger..." She tried to plea with them.

​

The beer glass hit the counter as Grim looked at the clock. "Time sure does fly. Guess I'll head back for Twilight City now. More blessings need to be offered." He stood up an tossed some Munny to the bartender. The walk to Twilight City would take a little while, but that wasn't too bad. Luckily his horse was with him. "Despair, we are heading out to the City again. Let's ride." He slightly kicked the horse and the two ran off.

 

The war-axe slammed down on top of another heartless, crushing it and causing it to vaporize into a small cloud of black particles. Dain turned to face the other heartless, but mere seconds later they all, too, exploded into a large cloud of the black particles, their deaths caused by thunder as well as the glaive that had delivered their demise to them. Dain didn't even need to turn around, to look at who had thrown the glaive. There were not many people that tended to use glaives, and the one in particular that had destroyed the heartless was one that he recognised.
"Well, you certainly took your time, India" he called back over his shoulder. He was about to say more, but his attention was caught by another three shadows, now retreating. Either they really were retreating because of the inevitable death, or perhaps they had found another heart to devour. Not knowing which, Dain gave chase after them, gesturing for India to follow as he did.


Zane was a little tired after swinging around his great sword so much. The heartless, for all their lack of strength, had certainly had a high enough number to stall them out a while. He looked up to see who had come to his aid to help him, and saw a dark purple haired boy with an axe, and a white haired man with a glaive. "Thanks for helping me, I probably would have-" he started, but stopped as the purple haired boy began running after more heartless. This axe-wielding boy certainly held a lot of aggression. Zane gave chase too, following in Dain's footsteps.

After just a few minute of running after the heartless, Dain finally caught them. Heaving his axe above his head, he brought it crashing down upon two of them, leaving one left. He turned on that one, not slowing down for even a moment. Despite wielding a war-axe, the warrior was surprisingly quick. As his weapon destroyed the last remaining heartless, he finally took notice of where he was. He was standing on what appeared to be the front lawn of a house, with two women standing there. Two pretty women, too. Immediately, Dain lowered his axe and held it in front of him, but low to the ground horizontally. He began to flex his muscles, which there wasn't a whole lot of but he was reasonably well built. "Oh, well helloooo ladies. I didn't see you there, over the cloud of death that I turned those heartless into, with my amazing skills" he said to both Dawn and Mist. Dain clearly had an extremely large ego, and was making no attempt to hide it whatsoever.​

 

[/url]
As Haru made his way through Twilight City, he took note of the occasional heartless that popped up around him. Some had decided to attack him and were defeated by the broadsword he was given to fight them off, and others seemed like to be heading in a different area. Strange, what could be attracting the heartless to head in that direction. Haru soon decided to follow the creatures in the direction they were going.

Even though the heartless he was following didn't notice him at all, that unfortunately couldn't be said about the other ones that were still coming after him. Persistent little buggers. Though while they tried to attack him all at once, they were no match for his time magic. With a quick snap of his fingers time froze for the heartless, making it easier for him to wipe them all out in one slash. With the last of the heartless mist fading away, Haru soon found that he'd ended up at someone home. What more was that the heartless there were also defeated by the people there.

"Guess I was just following a random trail of heartless then." He said aloud, not really caring about if the people there heard him or not. What he was worried about was how Rune was going to react to being ditched by him. He did sorta leave her behind while he followed behind the heartless. Hopefully she would've go too overboard, but based off past experience, the odds of his wish coming true were pretty slim.

 

"What I need and what you're offering are two separate things."​

"Walking the endless street is better with a friend like you."

Spoiler: Music

Kotone kept fighting. She used the whip's range by combining her sword onto it and swinging at the Heartless. One by one they went down. Still, there were a lot to go around.

"Help me Koto!" Rin called out.

"Hang on Rin!" Kotone said, using her whip's cracks to draw attention to her leaf. She finished off a few of them with her short sword, while Rin was (hopefully) thinking of a plan. Rin may have been shy, but she was an amazing fighter and strategize when she had to be. All the times Rin had bested her in wrestling...

Rin absorbed the scene, then snapped to her senses. She pulled out some arrows, strung them across her bow, and then drew them back, releasing them into the Heartless. As soon as they were done, she and Kotone ran, seeing an oncoming horde.

Kotone led Rin away, holding her wrist. "Rin, come on! We gotta find help!" It was then that Kotone saw a group of various people grouped together. "Hey! Help us!" She called out.

 

​

The early afternoon sun shone brightly around Twilight City, promising for a beautiful day but it was far from that. The city was crawling with various dark creatures, attacking and killing anyone on sight. Tyson simply observed from the shadows, looking around him to get a good idea of where to begin. These creatures seemed to have come out of no where, but why? And where did they come from? They were called Heartless according to the great tree, but when they died, a heart would escape and disappear into thin air. They had no wits, no brain it seemed. They simply attacked those who were living a breathing.

Others were joining the fight, attacking when they could to destroy the Heartless, but it seemed as if their efforts were in vain. More would just simply pop out of no where and attack again.

As Tyson sat there with his weapon at hand, he heard a cry for help and glanced in the direction of the voice. Two girls seemed to be overwhelmed by the shadow creatures and were calling for assistance from a group nearby. Tyson gripped the handles of his weapons tightly, ready to spring into action. "Here we go..."

He leaped off the roof throwing his Kusarigama at a row of Heartless, wiping them out. He pulled back on his chain, landing with a thud and then threw the sickle once more at another cluster, taking some out and dazing others. He then pulled back again and moved over to the two girls, keeping his back to them as he kept an eye on the heartless. "You called for help?" he asked, although the answer was obvious.​

OOC:// Apologies, my cat rolled on my keyboard and posted before I was done.​

 

3:30 P.M. - DAY 1 - 45.5 hours remain

​

Hey eyes were lead adrift by the girl who walked away. The apology wasn't necessary. At least tshe understood the meaning of everything that was going on. As for her brother, he needed to chill out with his ideals. The Realm of Darkness had opened to the world they lived in now. There was more important things to do than a family feud.

"Sorry I took so long. My room was a mess, I had trouble finding this."

Mist gave a light smile and replied, "It's okay. I'm just glad someone is willing to help me. These heartless are getting worse and worse by the day. Luckily they aren't the strongest. With these weapons we can stop them for a while. I'm Mist by the way."

More heartless were coming form all around them. Perhaps they understood that they, the weilders, had an advantage and they begin to target them. Having so many in a group must provoke them to attacking. That was until someone came around and bashed them away. "Thank you for your help." She gave a thankful smile. Behind him came another man who seemed not to care of their existence.

As it would also appear, two others were being attacked by more Heartless. That would make a total of 7 of them. An odd number to say the least. "Coming!" She yelled, holding her claws up and ready to strike at the heartless. She went in for the kill and managed to strike them down, watching the hearts float into the sky. Things were now a bit too quiet.


For some reason some new creatures had appeared in front of them. They were small knights almost. They had an emblem on their chest. The eyes were the same as the Heartless as before, dead and unemotional. They began to charge with their claws and attack the group. Mist fell to the ground not expecting these new Heartless to appear. An entirely new species... They were getting stronger...

 

[/url]
Soon enough three more people had arrived. Two asking for help and one appearing to help the previous two. That had certainly increased the number of people there. Whether said increase was a good thing was a different story. The answer to that would come sooner as expected as more heartless appeared on the scene. Unlike the previous ones that they fought, these one had on armor and acted differently. If the heartless were changing then that would only lead more problems, especially if their current weapons ended up being ineffective against them.

However, so long as that wasn't the case, they could still fight. So as one of the armored heartless went towards him, Haru used his sword to strike it down before it could harm him. Fortunately they still vanished just as easily, the only different was the heart that floated into the sky upon their defeat.

 

India followed Behind Dain, but the heartless were vanquished before he was able to do much. His friend then proceeded to use the heartless attack to chase some local skirts. This didn't surprise him much. While he wasn't much interested in such things, Dain certainly was. It didn't occur to him who this girl was at first, but after her brother came out, it occurred to him. He'd heard whispers about her. Nothing directly to him, just conversations among other students. The most attractive girl in school, guarded by a power crazed brother demanding duels. A beast guarding a treasure, it seemed. He didn't doubt Dain could handle himself against Dmitri, but now was hardly the time. He stepped between the two, attempting to diffuse the situation.

"You must forgive my friend for his rudeness. His hormones are raging beyond all control and he's desperate. Just allow us to eliminate these heartless, and we'll be on our way. Perhaps you may even assist us. After all, you've proven your individual strength time and time again, but teamwork is also a strength. Someone may accuse you of lacking if you refuse." Said india in the calmest voice imaginable. He played to Dmitri's weakness in his need to prove himself, attempting to divert his attention from Dain and onto the heartless. While his ear may be chewed off later for that hormone comment, it was certainly true. His golden eye turned onto the new breed of heartless. They were evolving...This was most interesting.

"A new breed. If they're growing into new forms, that may prove troublesome. The only reason we've been able to quell them thus far was because what they made up for in numbers, they lacked in strength. If that advantage is taken from us, we stand little chance. If possible, leave one alive. Capture it and allow me to study it. Information is as vital in war as power." He called out to the rest of those fighting. His motives were less pure than he let on. It was less to help their effort against them, and more to simply sate his curiosity. He'd wanted to find out more about these for a long time now. ​

 

Dain huffed at India's explanation of his rudeness. He didn't deny them, however, because it was half true. While he did have hormones raging inside of him, he was most certainly not desperate. "And you're making comments like that because the only time you spend with any women are the ones mentioned in those books you have your head stuck in all the time" he retorted. He was then about to answer Dmitri's challenge, but stopped as he heard a scream. Screams meant terror, which was usually started by heartless around those parts. The only thing Dain liked more than a challenge was slaughter.


Zane, hearing the screams, reacted faster than Dain did by far. While the meathead was standing there running his mouth, there were people in danger, meaning there was no time to speak. "Grateful for your help earlier, but less talk and more action" the swordsman said quickly as he rushed past Dain and towards the heartless. These heartless were different, meaning they probably fought differently too. No matter what, though, there was no reason to allow them to live, despite what the male with the glaive had requested. Great sword raised, he muttered a few words as he charged the heartless and immediately the heartless was frozen in place. Whilst the creature was unable to act, Zane swung his weapon in huge arcs, cutting it to ribbons before it unfroze and vanished in a vapour. While others may have gloated, or even felt pride over this accomplishment, Zane did not. Whilst there were people in danger, he would not rest.

Dain stood still for a moment, surprised. He didn't see what Zane did as trying to save individuals, of course he wouldn't see it that way. No, he saw it as Zane trying to outdo him and make him look weak; something he despised. "I'll keep one alive, India, but only if I get to land the killing blow once you've finished with it" he said simply, before running in, too, to slay the heartless. His axe a blur as he began swinging it recklessly, he rushed towards the black creatures and engaged in combat with them. New creatures or not, he was willing to bet they'd all die the same as the previous forms.​
