"More than whatever influence we have." Chrono said. It wasn't the best of answers that he could've given, but it's not like he was wrong or anything. He figured that a master would have more influence in this situation than they did. Maybe not if they could managed to get on the kings good side. For the fact that they very casually dropped the fact that the king was centuries old had Chrono wondering just how long their life expectancy was. Living for a hundred years was no easy feat, let alone centuries. "Maybe, they certainly think highly of it though." Something that Chrono was curious to know if it was actually all that impressive.
The silence that Zephyr had gone back too lasted for all of a couple of seconds until he had heard what Kara said to him. Typically he didn't bother too much with what she called him since usually she just called him 'Blondie' and that wasn't something to get "up in arms" about, especially when his hair was, in fact, blonde. When she questioned his willing to back up what he said, a noticeable frown appeared briefly before his expression returned to being neutral. Those doubts of his would have to be sorted out another time. When the carriage had come to a stop, Zephyr had been the third person to exit following Dylan and Mirabelle. The first thing that he noticed was Royal Guards, a clear indication that something major had occurred. From where they currently was located, it would be difficult to getcloser look, especially given what Mirabelle had said.
His wait was not a long one for shortly after the guy on the boat had spoke up, the majority of them had either spoken up about their decision to go or gotten on the boat. This amount of people going did give a small form of reassurance in regards to going up against the ship that was in in the distance. Following Veceslav, Lumen himself had strode forth towards the vessel they would be using and got aboard it.
Here we have the young Brynhild actively watching a deer that had been minding its own business. Like any old dear really, it just stood and started eating the plants around it. The young dragon watching the graceful creature used that as its chance to approach it. Carefully the small, pikachu sized dragon stalked forward til it was within what he perceived was the ideal striking range. Moments passed and eventually, when the deer raised its head, he jumped forth. Its dragon fangs sunk into the deer's neck, who surprisingly didn't put up much of a fight against it. Surprising, but as far as Brynhild was concerned it just meant that he had killed it upon striking, quite the feeling of accomplishment it left him. It was a shame that he didn't realize was that the reason the deer hadn't put up any of a fight was because it had been shot in the head, right between the eyes to be exact, with a arrow. Killing it right before Brynhild's teeth had reached their target. The arrow had come from from a lone tree that was within viewing range of the tree. Normally Arthur would've hopped down from the tree shortly after shooting the deer in the head in order to collect his prize and his dragon, but before doing so his attention was drawn away by the rising cloud of smoke he could see in the distance. Something must've been burning in that direction, which had Arthur wondering as to what could've the fire.
Truthfully Chrono wasn't completely sure that they were completely out of harms way just yet, but he didn't tell her that. He didn't want to put her on edge anymore than she already was from all this. So far it seemed like they were in good favor with the spear men, even if it was only slightly. "It doesn't look like they will and if they can help up, then we should at least hear them out." Chrono watched as she adjusted the position of their mothers violin before voicing another concern she had and a valid one at that. "To be honest, I'd prefer it if we could have either of them here with us right now, but we don't know when either of them will be back." Or in Atmos's case, when she will regain consciousness. "Unfortunately I don't think we have that kind of luxury right now. It'll be fine though, we'll manage til we get at least one of them back." With that said Chrono held out his hand for Tinarah to grab should she choose and casted cure on her.
Tron still hadn't answered him regarding if they needed to have everyone for the while and despite how his partner was still willing to partake in the next round, Kel still didn't think it as a good idea after what he was just told. He took a moment to collect his thoughts, a bit surprsied by the fact that Aislinn had bowed her head in front of him. Something completely new to him. "I didn't know all that and you're not being insolent with this." That was something that he could say for certain among all this. 6/10
Chrono paid Daeni no mind as she attempted to speak with him, he wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone right now. All traces of the memory had removed itself from his head, which did extremely little to help with his current mood. The whole cycle of getting memories and losing them before anything could be gained from them was getting old as far as Chrono was concerned. How was he supposed get any answers if the ones means of potentially give him clues was consistently being taken from him. "What's this idea of yours?" He'd be up for anything that could potentially mean that they would finally be rid of Ria.
The fact that Illiana had chosen to just walk past the armed spearmen baffled him, but fortunately they didn't want to harm them. Plus they could speak their language which was always a good thing. Chrono didn't follow behind the masked men right away and it wasn't because he didn't trust them. They seemed friendly enough, but this supposed 'King' of theirs could change that view on them. It wasn't hard for Chrono to spot Tinarah behind a rock. Thus he strode over to where she was at a decent pace. "It's okay, they seem to want to help us."
Getting in some more practice would be nice as there was still things Kel needed to figure out. If Team SARK was as merciless as Tron says they were, then he wouldn't be able to figure out what to do on the fly like he did last time. "What's wrong Aislinn?" It was clear that she wasn't okay, very clear in fact. He'd been too preoccupied with the previous race to notice anything during. If she wasn't in the right condition for the next match, then he didn't want to force his partner to partake. "Do we have to have a full team for the next match?" He asked Tron. 4/10
I'll take ze Ap boost this time around
The difference in skills became much apparent when the red cycle had managed to increase the distance between Kel and themselves with ease, where as Kel himself was struggling in trying to keep up. This had given his opponent the chance to take a very sharp left turn and leaving a red wall in his path. The wall had set off a red flag Kel's head. He need a way to avoid that wall and fast, unfortunately turning wasn't something that he had quite figured out yet. Frantically he looked through the controls before him until a button stuck out in particular and with little to no hesitation he pressed it. With the worse case being his death, he really hoped that this worked. It did in fact work for the button had caused him to take a sharp left as well. Kel sighed at how he managed to avoid the immediate danger, but there still was the lasting threat of his opponent who was still on his trail. 8/10 Blessed Thief: 90
The heartless had been defeated and Chrono at first had tired to move to where Tinarah had hidden herself, but the sounds of angry shouts had prevented him from doing so. They didn't directly keep him from doing so, but it seemed very ill advised to with the spears that were current aimed at them. Chrono didn't have the slightest clue just what they were yelling, but could hazard a guess that it was about them holding weapons that they knew nothing of. If seeing their keyblades was bothering them so much, then he put his away before holding up his hands. "See, it's gone. No need to yell anymore." He said on the off chance that they could understand him.
Bracing himself for the first two heartless attack, Chrono felt the wind blow past him as they flew into Tinarah. Distracted by this, one managed to graze his back. When the heartless had settled Chrono dealt with the rest of them.
An odd feeling had fell over Vice at the announcement of the teams. It wasn't quite disappointment, it was too early for that. The feeling was close to it however. The reasoning behind this feeling was quite simple, one particular faunus on his team. Vice could already tell that he wouldn't enjoy being around him which given his tendency to fight alone, was beneficial for those small instances. Their elevator ride had soon come to an end and during the brief rest period that their leader, Lloyd, had introduced himself."Vice and I'm from Mistral. The reason I'm here is to settle a score with someone." Vice stated plainly, cutting a glare towards Arian. "Just don't get in my way and we'll be fine." Personally Lazuli was glad that he wasn't chosen to be leader, too much responsibility on the shoulders of a leader especially when something goes wrong. Like say during the current incident that they were heading off to, not trying to be pessimistic but this is a lot to throw at them with as the first thing for them to do as a team. "Well Blaine, I'm Lazuli from the upper half of Mistral, though its pretty dull there so I spend most of my times in the slums." It was where he'd gotten his weapon from too or rather where he had it made. Being form the rich part did make getting a heavily customized weapon very easy.
The woman didn't have anything else to say to him after his response, which was fair enough. A part of him had expected as much given the nature of his response while another part had thought there would be some form of quip. Regardless of the lack of response that he was given there was still the matter of the raider boat that was in the distance and while someone else did show up with a boat of their own, saying to get on. What Lumen would've liked to do was to better prepare for this whole thing in some way, but still he had not a single inkling of an idea on how to deal with the sea serpent for starters. The raiders were a much more manageable issue to deal when compared to the sea serpent. Eventually he decided to wait and see if anyone other than the barkeep would get on the boat before he decided to do so himself.
So he was easy to read, that was a new one out of all the things that he'd been called, though the intent in this case was different. Zephyr wasn't sure just how he would go about solving that apparent problem of his, though he would figure something out given some time. At the very least it would be something stick around in his head. "My answer is simple." The various times that this fleeting thought of his had occur gave her plenty of chances to consider what he would do in such a situation. "If it needs to be done then I'll do it." Contrary to most of the stories Zephyr loved to read in which situation like the one proposed had a better chance of being resolved fully by just locking away the perp, he knew that in the real world things were not quite so simple and easy. That one extra step over the line was sometimes needed.
It had taken much longer than Vallus would've liked, but they were finally given their first objective as part of this rag tag group. Finding other keyblade wielders certainly did appear to be easy, but if they were hostile then he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't engage. He wouldn't actively provoke them though. When he had finished his brie thoughts regarding the task that they were given, he turned his attention towards his teammates for his group. His thoughts on them were still pretty neutral for the most part and likely wouldn't change until he saw them in action. "The sooner we get started, the sooner we get back."
Doing nothing but driving forward gave Kel plenty of time to at least try and get a better grasps on what he was doing. Despite the general look of the light cycle and the feel of everything around him, there didn't seem to be anything extremely complicated with the controls.. Not that he fully knew what they all did in front of him anyway. He wouldn't have the time to do so either cause he was still in a match and the first sight of his opponent had been seen. To his right a red light cycle appeared to be on a dead set on catching up to him, which it did in a matter of moments. The two different color cycles were were racing against one other practically neck and neck with the red one just barely pulling ahead. 5/10 Blessed Thief: 60
Oh crud, in all the surprise about seeing former allies, Kel forgot to actually try to practice with the light cycle and it was too late to do so now with their match starting. Their opponents were much more on the aggressive side of the competition given the call outs that were made to them. Call outs that he did not understand in the slightest and were really the least of his concerns. The booming voice declared the round start and Kel held out the cylinder, forming his light cycle and taking off. For starters Kel was impressed that he hadn't fallen off yet given that this was his first time riding something like this. Then there was his lack of knowing what avoiding now, so far he was doing nothing beside avoiding crashing into anything or anyone. Going well so far if he says so himself. 2/10 Blessed Thief: 30
During the first wave of retaliation from the heartless, Chrono was able to avoid being hit by any of the small and fast heartless. Chrono had also managed to wipe out a few of the ones that had blown past him. When they went back to flying around and avoiding some of the attacks that was thrown there way, he waited for them to clump up together so that his attacks would have a better chance at hitting. Even if he missed his initial target some of them would still meet the wrong end of his keyblade. This current tactic of his required some patient and attentiveness to know the right time to strike at the heartless. Heartless Killed: 8 Heartless Remaining: 54 HP: 25 AP: 0
