"It is a joy to find you in good health as well Luna..." Yen sid smiled. "Seeing as how Ventus has yet to take the mark of mastery... it could be that his lack of elemental training has left him under leveled..." Eraqus assumed out loud. "Afraid so," shiro responded in reply to Luna. Shiro tossed anorb towards Kaida, who took longer to envelop. It kept mixing between yellow and green before it melded in a soft teal. "TIME..." Shiro announced. "Well that does make things tricky... Princess Luna will have to sit out but Master Kaida will be left solo for Yen Sid's class." "I see no harm in her taking part in Eraqus course," Yen Sid replied. "While Time is a plague of the mind, it does require a sense of inner peace to master..." "RIGHT!" Shiro boasted. "Masters Karina, Kelford and Faustalot shall join me in the obstacle course. Masters Andrew, Quillton, and Kaida will join Eraqus in the Meditation chamber." The rest of you may explore the compound to your best wishes. We will do our best to come up with a more suitable regiment for you. As Beuce gathered Ven and Aux by the arms and pulled them together. Aux eyes were drawn towards the hand as Beuce was being very chummy dynamic with him. He didnt know how he felt about that yet. He looked at the bright eyed Ventus, still unsure how to properly apologize. "Uh hi," Aux awkwardly waved. There was a brief pause while Aux looked down at the ground unsure of what to say.
"Blade?" Shiro asked confused. "I don't believe there's a function for that... There's currently only ten primal affinities known among the elements. FIRE, ICE and THUNDER are physical affinities. Harnessing the strength of the body to pull through. TIME and SPACE are mental affinities. Requiring you think more outside the box to properly utilize them. EARTH, WATER and WIND are spiritual affinities. Mastering your sense of self and soul to unleash nature's elements. LIGHT and DARKNESS are also spiritual, but hold certain... difficulties to master. BLADE is not exactly in that matchup... You may need to skip today's session. Sorry Master Beuce," he apologized. He looked to the rest of the masters just standing around and looking on. "Well don't just stand there, pick up a ball!" he barked, tossing a bunch in the air. one fell to Karina, whose orb turned red. Another to Kel, whose orb turned a bright blue. And finally one fell to Aux, who caught it before it his his face. The orb didn't seem to change color. He took off his glove and held it in his hand again to see the color that would appear. The orb began to turn a dark shade of purple. Shiro looked on. "Master Karina will be FIRE, and Mast Kelford is ICE. WONDERFUL! Master Aux will be..." his eyes narrowed to Aux's orb, as his enthusiasm lessened. "Will be...not participating also." "It's darkness isn't it?" "WHAAAAT? Hehe... what makes you think it would be darkness?" A loud ominous hissing sound emerged from the orb. Aux threw the orb back in the pile. "Guess I'll take an off day..." Aux wasn't particularly excited for aura training, but knowing darkness was still his strongest force made him question himself.
"NOPE! Just to power you up to your max potential." Shiro exclaimed. "And seeing as how the primal orb you are holding is still green and that puts you in Eraus' class!" He walked over to AJ and picked him up by the collar. He walked over to Eraqus and dropped the boy down in front of the master. "Which is great for me, because I don't like answering questions." With Faust arriving late, Shiro quickly picked up an orb and threw it at the young man after being asked what Faust missed. "Think fast!" The orb in Faust's hand turned a bright yellow. "I see you're a Thunder Primary... Good... Thunder is my department." Shiro cracked his knuckles.
"While this orb helps IDENTIFY your aura, it by no means empowers or awakens your final aura. As far as we know most everyone has only one primary aura that can reach a third level." He turned his attention to Kel after answering AJ and Ven. "The three classes are meant to help unleash your full potential. Only one class per element. A raw and powerful element of fire is meant to be trained in the physical class, but the swift and transparent tempest of wind would be spiritual. It took me... quite sometime to master that class..." he shook his head at the shudder of the memories. "Regardless, we should be able to train you for roughly a week before we know our net course of action."
Everyone was asked to gather in the training grounds in the morning Shiro dropped a large case of crystal orbs on the ground as DJ, Eraqus and Yen Sid were beside him. "Morning Everyone... Hope you slept well," DJ announced. "We filled in Eraqus on the whole situation yesterday. He managed to find Yen in the Mysterious tower and woke him up for the training session today." Yen Sid nodded his head to everyone. "It is good to see you all once more. New faces, I see, but welcome ones nonetheless. I'm afraid apologize for my premature isolation. No Heart is a powerful foe... I did not wish for him to extract any unwarranted secrets." "I too apologize. My letters asking for help carried you all on this off trail journey. I know I've missed much and Terra and Aqua are still in danger... But I hope to rectify it as best I can in your master training," Eraqus added. DJ clapped the dust off his hands. "Well I see you guys got all this under control... I'm gonna see what I can do about our 'guests' in the basement." He was referring to Alex and Terra, but stopped in front of Kel to give him something. "Luckily Ven's remaining tech has been cleared. His branding never touched his skin. You however, will need to wear these for a while..." He gave Kel a sleek pair of sunglasses. It looked only slightly technic in it's design. "It's a temporary solution until I can remove your brand." he whispered. "Put it on whenever you don't want her seeing what you do," he said, putting the sunglasses on his face. DJ then left to go and speak to the prisoners. Shiro picked up an orb.from the pile. "This is a Primal Orb. Its made from a materia substance that helps identify a person's primary aura." The orb glowed green. "My primary aura is WIND... Think of this orb like a mood ring for your elemental affinity." He tossed the orb to AJ before continuing on. "With Ananta's departure with her fiancee, this leaves us with the ten of you to train." Eraqus announced. Beuce, Karina, Kel, Kaida, AJ, Aux, Luna, Ventus and Quill all stood in a large group. "Today we'll be looking at the three C's of mastering an aura! CONTACT, CHANNEL, and CONTROL! Once we see what everyone's primary aura is, we can suit you into a small class of the mind, body or spiritual group. Eraqus will be enlightening the spirit, Yen Sid will be molding the mind, and I'll be breaking the body!" he smiled, punching his fist. "Any questions?"
Meanwhile with the Red Society... Gilgmesh, Kaizo and Amelie were sitting in a waiting room of sorts. A simple lounge area where Amelie stayed leaned against the wall, Kaizo was playing a card game with himself, and Gilgamesh was slapping his hands against his knee continuously. Gilgmaesh's impatience was beginning to irk Kaizo as turned his head to face the large warrior. "Do you have an off button?" "No, but I have a real good hype button!" he replied, stopping his knee slapping. "Just curious how everything's going in there... Nequa's only supposed to pick three of us. And since Alex is probably making the cut it means that there's four of us including Hotel... One of us won't make the point." Kaizo snickered. "Hehe, Yeha, I guess I am pretty hilarious..." Gilgmesh chuckled. "That's just it... You're... humour can only be coddled for so long. You're strong, but nowhere near worthy of the Final thirteen... Hotel is a military general, Amelie is a holy assassin, I'm a gifted prodigy and you?... You are.... what did you say? Hilarious? If anything you're here for the gopher work..." "Wow, you are no fun." "If you're here for fun, I'm afraid you're in the wrong group..." Kaizo responded. Hotel entered the door after his meeting with Nequa. He had just completed his mission briefing to her. There was a look of uncertainty on his face. "I told her everything regarding Zulu and X-Ray... And how we failed to get Bravo... she was... surprisingly calm." Kaizo turned to Hotel. "What's our next objective?" Hotel looked to him. "She just said... 'whatever.'" There was an ere of confusion regarding the statement. "Anything else beyond that? Regarding who her candidates will be?" Kaizo asked. Hotel shook his head. "Guess she's just planning on us to sort it out for ourselves." Amelie glared as she continued to fiddle with her rosary. She walked up and left the room, punching the wall on her way out. "So uh... battle royale?" Gilgamesh suggested. "Y'all can do whatever you want... I ain't takin' out anymore of our own. Until that final clash... I'm on vacay.." Hotel sighed, leaving the room as he lighted up his cigar. "So uh... fight to the death?" Gilgamesh chuckled. Kaizo rolled his eyes as he collected his cards. "If I wanted to fight a joke, I'd fight Kaida..." He walked out of the room as well as he hummed to himself. Gilgamesh was left by himself. slapping his hands on the table. "I'm NOT a joke..." he spoke in a deeper voice. "And just you wait little man... I'll show you just how bad I can be." He summoned a sword and slashed it across the table in a lightning quick slash. The marble table immediately fell in on itself. "Gilgamesh is done playing games...." He took out a black marker and wrote. 'I DID THIS' before signing Kaizo's name. "-Starting now...." ----------------------------------------------------------- UNKNOWN LOCATION No Heart is seen in a small study writing in a book. His face cannot be seen, but his helmet sits across from him at he table. The quill he's using seems to be enchanted as the letters he writes glow white with magic. He finished writing in the journal before letting out an aggravated sigh. He closed the book and got up from his seat before pushing it into the bookcase behind him. He sat back down and pulled out a new book, opening it to the first blank page. He was about to write but stopped and stared at a red timer he had placed on the wall across from his work space. 5 MONTHS - 0 DAYS - 16 HOURS - 7 MINUTES It will all be worth it. ------------------------------------------------------------------ THE NEXT DAY Everyone from the SOS had rested up and prepared for the new day.
Aux wanted to make a cheap shot at Karina's father. But much as he wanted to make that rebuttable, he chose to focus on the greater matter. As reply, he simply glared back at her. "Guess so," he said in reply to Kel, after being asked. Kel also mentioned a secret entrance that Kurt spoke of, to which DJ and Shiro looked at each other. "If he does, we don't know about it," Shiro confirmed. After AJ began to recount a new search party, DJ took in a deep breath as he tried to collect his thoughts. "You know what? I think I'm gonna call it a day... A lot was done and accomplished. Besides, everyone should get some rest. I'll activate Haven security just in case anyone else appears." He pressed a few buttons on his tablet. "This is just... a lot right now. Much as a *kupo* as he was, I liked it better when Orion was the one dealing with stuff like this." He looked up to Aux. "No offense." Aux shrugged. "He lost his family rights when he brain drained me." He looked down at the passed out Terra. "What do we do about him?" "I will lock him in the holding cell with Alex... Same key cancelling tech as the Sanctuary... So we don't have to worry about them busting out," Shiro replied, carrying Terra over his back. "Great," DJ sighed. "I'm taking a nap... My head's been working over time." He passed Kaida on the way out. "Let us know if your friends need anything. They can bunk in the academy barracks..." DJ and Shiro left the room with Terra. Oswald looked around before pushing back his chair and hopping off. "Well, guess that's our queue," He began to hop away before waving back. "Just give us a ring if you need a hand." Donald elbow nudged Goofy. "Oh! Right!" Goofy said before picking up a small box of Gummi phones. "This should be able to help everybody stay in touch!" ALL PLAYERS NOW HAVE ACCESS TO GUMMI PHONES! DJ added as a contact! SHIRO added as a contact! GOOFY added as a contact! DONALD added as a contact! (If you wish to add more contacts, you must approach the player you wish to add in the roleplay and add their number)
Terra tilted his head and summoned his keyblade. "Thats adorable." He leaned back his body and dash forward performing a sliding dash. The kncokback pushed open the room's door, pushing Karina into the door as Teralra strolled inside confidently. DJ sighed without even looking up. "Can I just once have a summit meeting that isn't burst into?" Shiro squinted his eyes. "Is that Terra?" "You're half right," he smirked, looking down on DJ. "Youre in my chair. DJ looked up and scowled. "Orion..." "Actually. Orion was just a vessel with no more milage in it." Aux gripped his fist. He wanted to punch his grandfather in the face, but at the same time, he took Terra from his home. This was just as much his fault. Shiro summoned his key-hammer. "Not yet," DJ instructed, holding his hand up. He stood from the head table and locked eyes with Terra. "What do you want?" "A fresh start," Terra smiled. "My information on your enemies in exchange to return to the order I so expertly ran. I thought by aligning myself with No Heart would help me rid of the darkness.. but what he's attempting didnt exactly fit into my objectives.." "What exactly is his plan?" "Thats a big question isn't it? You've only just scratched the surface and their is so much more i would love to share. All it costs is your cooperation and to return me my position as head of the order..." There was a brief moment of silence before Shiro turned to DJ. "Now?" "Now," he quickly replied. Shiro shot up from his position and pulled his hammer back in a forceful motion. Terra summoned his blade and guarded. The impact was too powerful, as Shiro rained down his judgment like a mad man and knocked Terra's guard, slamming his own keyblade against his head. Terra lay knocked out on the floor. Shiro poked him with his hammer. "Now what?" DJ let out a very annoyed and agravated whine. "Meeting adjourned," he announced covering his forehead from all the stress.
"It's amazing just how long winded your version of 'no' is," he taunted. He moved passed them, unsympathetic with his hands folded behind his back. "You're only a fraction of the cause after all. Perhaps I'll pursue my efforts in asking the rest of your group. Maybe one of them won't allow their emotions to cloud their better judgement. We both want to stop darkness. I'm just willing not to get attached."
"Im a survivor," he replied bluntly. "I won't apologize for claiming what I seek." Terra blinked at Karina before turning unapologetic head in the direction of Kel. "You seem like the more level headed of the two. I can tell you how to remove the hold Nequa has on you." He peered his eyes on the young man. "Kel, I believe it was? Knowledge is power young man. Like it or not, when it comes to No Heart, I have the knowledge you need. Aren't you just itching to know more about him? His strengths? His weaknesses?" He looked back to Karina. "Lest of course you wish to kill me. But you'd be killing Terra in the process. I'll find somewhere or something to inhabit until my goals or met. My vessel may expire. But the heart of KURT ZISA will never die."
Terra rolled his eyes before he sighed. "There are only so many times I can continue to feign ignorance." He dropped his naive expression and gave a very deadpan stare. "Terra is a vessel I've been saving for some time.... Things weren't going very well as Orion so I did the only card I had left to play; restart as a new key wielder." He walked slowly around them as he looked around their surroundings. "Seems you arent as naive as when you began. But despite your mistrust of me... You need me," he stared coldly. "I have so much information on the keyblade. And seeing as how the information here is destroyed, you need fast answers. I can give you need on your enemies... No Heart. The Hellfire club, the Red Society- all of it!" He breathed deeply to keep his cool. He brushed his hair back. "And all I ask in return... is that I become one of the seven lights again." He looked down at his hands. "This new body still needs to be trained to my standards, but I believe he's in peak physical condition to get the job done." He closed his fist tightly. "Despise me all you wish... you need me..."
Terra lowered his keyblade. "I did found a way out of here... a secret exit during the attack, but it doesn't work right... it never leaded me to where I wanted to go." His keyblade dispersed. "I tried to find my way back to the land of departure,but it failed. And I wanted to help fight off those creatures, but then..." he hesitated before continuing. "There was too many... i ran... i didn't know who was here or why it happened. All I know is I was taken, wake up here, and tried to find my way back. Please, just take me to Master Eraqus." He paused for a brief moment. "Im only one person. How many of you are there?"
"About No Heart. And Aux, Nequa and Vanitas! They're hunting people down and taking worlds!" Terra replied. He looked to Kel and Karina. "I was trapped in this world after a bunch of heartless attacked. After the invasion ended, I tried to leave on my glider but couldn't... I've been stuck here ever since. How did the two of you get here?" ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Yes the SOS.... I need to speak with them. We have to find Yen Sid as well... what were there names..." He pondered to himself. "There was Anora, Leo.... Kross, Noroz, Kel... Any of those names ring a bell?" Eraqus asked as he looked to his pupil. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "She's got a point," Aux replied. "You said a lot of the stars have been fading... How much longer until they're all out? Sooner we master our strength, the sooner we can help restore things to normal." "Anything else you can tell us about No Heart?" DJ asked. Aux paused as he thought to himself. "He's strong. Real strong... Never takes off his mask. He always went on about clearing the board, but... it almost sounded like he cared about the worlds. Planning something for them..." "Sure got a funny way of showing it," Oswald scoffed. "I'm gonna try to bring the order back as soon as possible," DJ informed. "But until then, we'll be preparing you for the worst.
"After I was taken, I escaped!" He barked at Karina. "I've been going from world to world trying to find them... I've been looking for over a year..." He took a deep breath before calming down. "Please... I have to warn them..." ------------------------------------------------------------------ Erauqs sighed, but Ventus was right. "The night you three vanished, I called upon Yen Sid. He sent out letters to see who would aid in my cause. Little did I know that your disappearance was just the beginning, before I could investigate further, I was taken by the same assailants who had taken you... I was a fool for keeping my guard down." He looked to Ventus. "Who knows how much I missed..."
He was about to say something else, but then hesitated for a brief moment. "Terra" he aggressively stated. "Now its your turn. Im looking for Eraqus, Xehanort, Aqua or Ventus. Do any of those names mean anything to you?"
HALL OF THE ORDER DJ addressed the comment regarding the rest of the order first. "I've been trying to find a way to contact the rest of the order for sometime... There's a spacial element I have yet to grasp before I get access to the void to get them out. I think I can get them out but I'll need more time..." He turned to Beuce. "But boosting your abilities doesn't seem like a bad idea." He motion to Shiro. "Training is Shiro's department. I wouldn't be as strong as I am without him." Shiro cracked his knuckles. "I'm more than up to the task, friend. It's been some time, but I'll happy to teach any wielder the 3 principles of mastering the key! And once Eraqus recovers, we should be able to get them up to speed even faster!" He nudged Kaida and tussled her hair. "I still have plenty of training I owe miss Kaida as well." "Good to know...." DJ looked to Goofy. "How goes the efforts on recovering the core memories from each world?" "Goin' A-okay Mr. DJ sir!" Goofy saluted. "That Dreamer guy has been helpin' us get to the worlds we can't reach. Not to mention we found lotsa help from the folks that the SOS helped!" "I don't trust that Dreamer!" Donald pouted. "Me neither, but so long as he's helping us, he's considered an ally." He looked to Koa. "Primarily the black coats were supposed to help us from the shadows, but seeing as how everyone's out in the open we'll need you to help some other way." He propped a book open onto the table."You said you guys found this in Hotel's manor... I think it holds the key on her to solve our void problem. So far only Nequa has been able to open the portals to the void. But that's because she's been inside the Void the longest... My dad knew a similar patient and using that, he made the time belts... When No Heart started abusing them, he created tears in the void. Nequa must've found a weak point and escaped. Now she's acting like a secret tunnel to send people to and from the void. "He looked to Aux. "Anything else we need to know on her?" Aux thought long and hard. "She kept saying something about... releasing the Chaos. She didn't care much about Kingdom Hearts. Only something about... swords?" "The X-blade?" Shiro asked. "Only part of the answer..." He turned the pages of the book. "This... Enchiridion of sorts holds a bunch of old secrets regarding the "Void." it was used like a prison holding the most dangerous creatures known to man. A realm beyond light, darkness and in between." "And Mick's in there!" Goofy sighed. "In the age of fairytales, world leaders would use six blades to banish the unstoppable into the void. Blade of Honor, Blade of Plight, Blade of Truth, Blade of Might, Blade of heroes and their start Blade that watches every heart. "Perhaps young Alex knows which she's collected..." Shiro suggested. DJ sighed. "That'll be a fun conversation... When I kept reading, I found something about the Children of Cosmos. Twelve heroes of light that severed the connection between the void. It may also be my answer to fixing the tears in time... I could theoretically make a giant reset button from it. But the children of cosmos are very rare and far... Only those blessed from the light of Cosmos can give their light into this." He showed an orb that could fit roughly in the palm of his hand. "How they gonna do that?" Oswald replied. "The Black Coats need to scout out Children of Cosmos and have them give their light into this orb. Once we get all twelve, we should be to stop any plan Nequa or No Heart has for the void." Oswald sighed. "This seems like a lot of extra steps just for one bad guy." "Well it's a good thing, we have a lot of teams," DJ replied agitated. "Whoever No Heart is, he has planned, and has kept us busy for over a year. He took down our base, stole our records, and we don't even know what he wants to use Kingdom Hearts for... so yeah... I'm taking every precaution..." He took a deep breath as he leaned back. "I'll work on a way of contacting the rest of the void. I'll try and get info out of Alex if I can.. The Black Coats will find the Children of Cosmos to help RESET the world order... The Disney Station crew will help recover core memories to RESTORE the world order. And Shiro and any other master we find will will help train the SOS. To PROTECT the world order. That sound good to everyone?" he asked the room. ------------------------------------------- TRAINING GROUNDS Kel and Karina came across.a man with brown hair and a tight black shirt. His garments similar to that of Eraqus. "Stay where you are!" He pointed his keyblade at the two of them as he stepped closer from their rear. "Tell me who you are... and what you're doing here..." he held his keyblade firmly pointed at the duo. ------------------------------------------- MED BAY "The SOS are here? How long have I been asleep?" Eraqus tried not to panic, but questions continued to plague his mind. He tried to sit up and get to his feet. "I'm still weak, but... we need answers." He propped onto his feet but quickly feel down to his knees.
Quill's intrudence didn't seem to be bothering much as those with worlds in the matter deserved to be heard. "Quill is right, but seeing as how we were spread pretty thin, we don't really have much know how on the status of several worlds... No Heart took the record of all active worlds, however there's something even very troubling. Over a year ago Yen Sid reported that stars were overfilling the night sky. Each star is a world of course, and the time travel must have created an influx beyond normal capacity... But recently stars have begun to dwindle. As if No Heart is pushing them to another point in time... But all the time belts were destroyed, so we fear he may be sending the worlds to darkness...." "Lotta folks from our worlds have gone around collectin' memories from places just in case!" Goofy chimed in. "So just in case this No Heart Fella plans to get rid of the worlds, we can try and form new ones from each world's core memory!" "It's a long shot, but Goofy's right. Each world has a core memory that represent the history of the world. If the darkness consume the heart of that world, we may at least be able to rebuild it with the date from the items they've collected. So at the very least we have a contingency for the fall of all worlds...." Shiro rubbed the back of his neck. "The clash of light and darkness may be a bit more difficult. Originally, there were seven members of the order that would help fight off the darkness should anyone wish to claim Kingdom Hearts. However, three of our comrades are lost to the void, and one has shown to a treacherous swine!" "The point of his three apprentices were to gather factions of darkness Nequa chose to create a Red Society to best select her dark champions. The Black Coats that Lea assembled have dealt with them the longest and only recently have the SOS been introduced to them. Ventus was rescued from their control, but we're still not sure how many are left..." "Vanitas has also been shown to be gathering his own faction. From what it looks like, Sho from your Mark of MAstery exam is also in his ranks. It's safe to assume he'll try to gather more warriors with vendetta's against your group.... That just leaves the man in the black armor... Whoever he is, he's been inactive for some time..." Shiro stroked his chin, unaware of his identity. DJ looked to Aux and back to the monitor. "I'll keep a tab on him just in case." Donald hopped forward onto a chair. "Last I heard, he was outta the picture. Besides, you're forgetting another group!" "Right... The hellfire club. Seems like No Heart made another ally. While I was traveling along Disney Station, One of their group members attacked us..." "That no good Mortimer sent Mick and Oswald outta the realm!" Goofy pouted. "I was sent into darkness, and Mickey into the void." Oswald added. "From what Mortimer said, they have roughly ten members... You guys may have ran into a few of them. They've been the ones kidnapping princesses for the past year..." "No Heart is gathering darknesses. And Until I can communicate with Yue, Mizu and Lea, we may need 4 more champions of Light as a back up." ------------------------------------------------------------------ Some time went by as Eraqus' hand weakly moved towards Ventus, his listless eyes slowly openeing. He turned his head to his pupil. "Ventus?.." he softly whispered. "I'm sorry I failed you..." He tried to get up but was still very weak. His entire body mostly asleep. "I'm glad you're safe though.. Where.... Where are Terra and Aqua?" He looked around, unsure where the two of them were. "Where are we?"
"Doesn't look like," Shiro replied, hooking Eraqus up to a life monitor. "Seems to have just been taken out of a cryo-nap. It will take his body a few hours to adjust to regular body temperature. Best not wake him until he's ready. Shock would be too much to his system." He patted Ventus on the head before heading off. "Keep vigilant young Ventus. We are working hard to achieve our goals." He walked back.to the rest of those waiting as the meeting was prepared to get underway. Those who wished to Inside the Hall of the Order, each faction of light sat at a corner of the table. Seven seats were available to sit in. Representing the order was DJ, Shiro, and Kaida. Representing Disney Station was Oswald, Donald and Goofy. Representing the Black Coats was Koa, Dawn and Vallus. Representing the SOS was Beuce, Luna and Aux. DJ sat at the head of the table and brought up a schematic of the four factions. "From what we know, all the events that have transpired started well over a year ago." A picture of No Heart was displayed on the holo screen for all to see. "From what Shiro and I have gathered, he's already fully aware of all Central Haven's inner workings meaning he must have been someone who lived here or from a past member of the order." "Quite possibly one we haven't even met from the future," Shiro sighed. "But that's not even the strangest thing... Once he traveled to this point in time, he gathered help from these three masked figures. Aux glared down at the ground upon seeing his past self. "With their help, No Heart has been going around and claiming worlds from different time periods with versions of a time belt that my dad first designed..." He threw a disabled time belt on the table. "We gathered up and destroyed all the belts, but there are many worlds were brought back. They also went around capturing keyblade wielders, several who became members of Nequa's Red Society.. Ventus and Eraqus were just a few we managed to bring back... There's still a to unpack beyond that... What's first on the agenda to discuss?" 1) The State of the Worlds 2) Nequa, The Red society and the Void 3) The clash of light and darkness
"Smart lass," Finlay nodded. "Finlay is a warrior, not a diplomat. I'll be goin' on patrol." He waved his hand as he wandered off. Passing their way from him were Donald and goofy carrying an older mn with a scar on his face. His hair was black and tied up neatly. "Is that..." DJ rushed over to the old man while Shiro accompanied him. "Master Eraqus..." Shiro added. He took Eraqus over his shoulder. "I'll place him in the medical bay and return shortly after" HE looked down at Ven. "Mr Ventus, you may accompany me if you wish." He walked off with the unconscious master motioning for Ven to follow. Aux looked towards the rest nd stepped back a bit. "I appreciate the inclusion and all, but..." he hesitated, trying to remember to be more inclusive and help the group more. "I'll only go if there's no other takers." It wasn't the cleanest excuse, but he gave himself an out if needed. Most of what he new about No Heart was still fairly vague.
"NEVERTHELESS," Shiro pontificated. "We should wait for the rest of our allies to unite with us." A few more minutes of cautious exploring later, they stood at the main hall of the castle in Central haven. There, they met up with Donald, goofy and the rest of the black coats. "Hiya Oswald!" Giofy waved. "Glad to see yer doing okay!" He nodded. Oswald waved half heartedly. "So whats the status report?" DJ asked "Places looks deserted for the most part. I cannee make heads or toes of it. Everything was just wrecked about or burned. The library alone is decamated!" Finlay spoke. "Its like a ghost town!" Donald proclaimed. "All we found was an old man locked in a sleeping pod!" "We uhh.. need some help to open it in the mess hall." Goofy scratched the back of his head. "Okay, I'll go wake up the geezer and meet you back here," oswald sighed, running off with donald and goofy to find the man. "I managed to look over my files remotely.. he didn't take anything. We dont know what he was after here but the only files he accessed involved was the world catalogue. Its an extensive list of all the worlds we know about. Aside from that he burned the library. Its hard to say if he took something." "That being said, I would like for us to convene in the meeting hall. Not everyone need attend, but we need a strategy to conquer this threat. Three from each faction. Myself, DJ and Kaida will represent the order. Oswald, Donald and Goofy will represent the disney station. Then you will be able to pick between 3 members of the sos, and 3 from black coats," Shiro nodded. DJ looked upward after a few minutes on his scanner. "No sign of life. I activated defenses just as a precaution. Changed all the passwords too.." "Very good," Shiro nodded. "Now... who will be your elected officials?" He asked the group.
