In the midst of the others either declaring that they were either taking part in the the Mark of Mastery or heading with Lea to find the other keyblade wielders who had lost the way, the majority of them opting for the former, Kel had made his way over towards where Karina and Lea currently were. He was still both concerned and curious as to what it was that had happened to her and prior to just this moment there wasn't much of a chance to do so. "Hey Karina." He started once he was where they were. She'd likely heard 'Are you alright' enough from Ananta and/or Luna when they had last approached her, so he wasn't going to ask that. "Just so you know, my offer still stands about letting you come back with me to my homeworld." To be honest Kel wasn't even sure that she still remembered that offer given how long its been since he first said. Still he meant what he said when he said it so a potential reminder didn't hurt.
The joyous feeling Chrono had felt had lasted just up until Number II had reminded him that he would need to fight, especially that they were currently surrounded by shadows ready to attack them. Alright, he managed to remember his name, now for to bring out this 'keyblade' that he hopefully had. Once more Chrono held out his hand and focused on...something. Being unsure exactly to focus on, he just tried imaging a weapon to appear in his hand. Clenching and unclenching his hand hoping to find that something had appeared in his hand, he was granted with nothing. Guess his name would be the only thing that he would be remembering right now. Welp, that wouldn't stop him from trying to fight during this battle.The stopping force would be the matter of not having any means of fighting the heartless with. Actually Chrono looked at his hand and clenched it into a fist. Time for some bare knuckle brawling he supposed, thus with a quick shrug of his shoulders Chrono got into a fighting stance. "I'll keep that in mind and hopefully not forget it." The last part of that was muttered to himself following both the response and mental note of the move that Marley had demonstrated for him. Now for the actually fighting and four shadows had started to move towards where he was due to not moving to the center as per Chloe's instructions. In a sense it was better this was since he could actually try to see if his current means of attacking actually worked and on the somewhat likely chance it didn't, he knew who to hide behind when they decided to retaliate against the "defenseless" teen. He was the one to make the first move and swing at one of the shadows. His fist actually made contact and knocked it back into another one, and another one and into the last one that had appeared near him. Domino effect for the win since all four of them vanished into mist. "Huh, really didn't think that would work out." Said the white haired teen, looking at his fist with a sightly confused looked on his face. In fact, he didn't even know if he knew how to fight so that was really just a lucky hit that he managed to get. He'd gotten to remember his name and learned that he could use his fist against these particular enemies. As much he would love to have a 'keyblade', would be close enough for now.

The fire ball fired by Alder had mad its way through the swirling vortex and collided with Ria and sent her back a bit. The lashing out under all these accusations was understandable and fortunately it wasn't directed at any of them, but the one who had started this mess in the first place. Following that, the swirling darkness around them sunk into the ground and reformed as a small army of darkness. They had their 'keyblades' ready, Ria had their oddly shaped and broken looking 'keyblade' ready and Chrono just took a step back towards the middle of the group. In this moment of moving back, something rang in his head. Was he...was he finally remembering something else? Maybe it was how to summon a 'keyblade'. Chrono concentrated on this more until it finally came to him. "Hey guys, I finally remembered my name. It's Chrono!" Despite the very very poor timing with this, he was quite happy to finally remember something of use.
All Chrono was an answer to his question. Just one simple answer would've sufficed. Ria clearly knew them so maybe they could help fill up the holes in his memory. But what did he get instead, trapped in a vortex of darkness that's what. From her accusations Alder knew what it was that the extractor did and there was a prince among them, a lot to take in all at once. The first thing that Chrono did was to turn towards the accused, by both Ria and Cerdic, Alder. "Do you actually know what the 'extractor' does?" A simple question and was devoid of all forms of suspicions, but filled with confusion. It wasn't like he fully trusted Alder, in fact he didn't fully trust any of them to be perfectly honest. Chrono was much more concerned with the holes in his memory to start jumping to conclusion. "If you do, just what else do you know?" Now that question was asked with some suspicion and accusations of his own.
He didn't know why number II had chosen to run along him as they headed out of the cave, especially since he was lacking in the means of defense that the others seemingly had. "Uh sure, I suppose." He answered. Getting out of the cave, the first thing that caught his attention was the person in gray who started speaking to them. Nothing that they said made sense to him outside of them saying that their name was Ria. At this point Chrono briefly tune out the conversation to focus more on his thought, which were both still trying to figure out his name as well as what this 'extractor' was. The only other thing inside of the cave other them themselves had been the broken machine. If that was the extractor then it certain was destroyed, but why and what was the purpose of it in the first place. Hopefully Chloe's question would answer the first one that he had thought of, though there was still something else for him to ask. "How do you know us?" The robed figured had outright called Alder by his name and there was some form familiarity towards them.
"And I'm glad that you happen to be a weapon that I know how to use." Zephyr added. Sure he could've learned how to use a completely different weapon , but there was a good chance that could've changed his preferred fighting style depending on what he'd gotten. Roderick being a katana just saved him a lot of trouble in the long run. He may not have said this out loud, but he doubted that Zoey was the best meister there. Not doubting her skills in general given that he hasn't actually seen her in action at all. There were likely stronger partners here at the school that they hadn't seen yet. "Have you always known how to use a staff?" Zephyr asked Zoey.
With both the Reaper's Game and the remaining members of the Hellfire Club standing as obstacles in their path, it was certainly wasn't going to be easy to get past all that. At this point however, things not being easy for them was par for course. They did just have to fight one of the members of the Hellfire Club while slowly regaining their lost abilities and skills. Then came some of the perks of being a master, all of which sounded appealing all things considered. Lastly they were given a choice to either take part of the Reaper's Game or go hunting for lost drifters in the darkness. Kel looked over towards Karina after the mentioning of the 'angry one'. He still had no clue just what exactly had happened with her while he was in the door. She may have been strong physically, but she certainly wasn't the most emotionally stable and her new path was apparently set in stone without her keyblade. In his case however there was still something that he needed to do, this time around wasn't referring to getting even Nequa, and the whatever abilities that came from being a master would make that task all the easier. "Bring on the game, I can handle whatever it throws at me."
Eh sure, why not
In any other situation a trip to the capital of Ocressa would have been something to look forward too. Over the years Veilen had hear various different tales about what people had seen here and wanted to see it for himself, but during the time he was with his teacher and rarely could find the time to detour from their own journey just to sight see. They had still managed to see other sights along the way like Purra and it's capital Runna. Those would forever be something that he remembered and not because he nearly blinded himself by staring at one of the towers. He still remembered his teacher calling him an idiot for that, which it was a valid thing to say at the time. Now here he was actually walking through Ocressa and even with it being something that he's wanted to do for some time, he couldn't just bring himself to enjoy the sights. With the current state that the world was in doing something like that would've been out of place. Sightseeing wasn't the reason that he was here to begin with, what Veilen was here for had to do with the letter that he had come across a couple of weeks ago. As per its instructions he made his way one of the bars along the main avenue and he was greeted by a woman who lead him to an room that was located under the main area of the bar. During his descent down towards the room, he started to wonder who else would be there by the time he'd gotten there. Someone had set out those letters with the intent of actually doing something about the demons starting with getting their magic back. Despite as skilled with a sword that he was, it only got him so far given what was out there for him to fight and his magic would make it much easier. He was let into the door and took notice of the woman, girl and pet bird in the room. "Were you the one who sent out the letter?" That was the first thing that Veilen asked upon entering the room.
As Kel waited for a response to his question regarding the pin with the skull icon, Aislinn has spoken up shortly following Beuce telling Yue off. Ya know, it was really odd having someone trying be well, the voice of reason to the entire group. Not exactly something that he's seen happen often. "I wouldn't quite call us the most qualified group of heroes" a brief pause was made as he thought back to two particular examples. "But we do seems to always seem to in the middle of everything right when it happens so its not like we have much of a choice but to be heroes." Having said his peace towards Aislinn, it was time to move on to the next order more like disorder of business. "I'm not going to pretend that I know anything about the hellfire unless they all can seal our keyblades and stuff us into chests, I don't plan on being content just because I got back my keyblade. Especially since there's one person I'm tired of getting my butt handed to me by a certain person." And one way or the other, excluding going down a path of darkness just for power, Kel would get even with her.
Trying to remember his name would have to wait for there were more urgent matters to attend to. As in the cavern that they were currently in had started to shake around them. Now this really was bad time not to know whether or not he had a 'keyblade' like pretty bad. Thus he quickly made his way towards behind the others towards the exit. Seeing as how they did have 'keyblades' he'd least be relatively safe for the time being.
Allec listen carefully to Dania's plan as the meeting went on. Flying through a meteor belt was risky in its own way though both Dania and Emma seemed confident in their chances of getting through in one piece. Hearing just how old the records were brought one question to his mind. "Given how old the records are, what if we encounter another race on the planet? "
While Blake was busy chatting with Blackthorn, Kuro was making his way over to, who at this point was, the harder target. The male who's name he didn't know at all, but fortunately knew what he looked like. The target was currently on their phone away from the crowd of people, which was something that he understood fairly well. The being away from crowds. Kuro made his way up to him and spoke to him. "Not much of a party person are you?"
Two things that the group had started to do had caught his eye. The first was the fact that they all had started to summon out their own 'keyblades'. This kinda made him feel left out since he only recently learned just what it was, nor if he had one of his own. Chrono held out his hand and just left it there, hoping that something would appear in his hand. After standing like that for a few momwnts, he realized that he didn't even know how he was supposed to make it appear. The next thing more so caught the attention of his ears as everyone started to introduce themselves. Number that they had once and briefly been called by had turned to names for each other to call them. Chrono would've said something himself, but ran into a small little road bump. "Um...Hmm...any second now." That road bump was the fact that he didn't remember his own name and all that muttering was his attempt at trying to remember it. "Maybe it was, no that doesn't sound right either." Yeah, he definitely was feeling left out right now.
The next sequence of events was an interesting one to say the least. They hand gottened chewed out by one of the order members, who was later chewed out by Beuce in an admittedly funny to listen to from where he was standing. The snickering as a result ceased just in time to hear something about a Mark of Mastery. The pin that Kaida was given had really caught his attention. "Reaper's Game?" It sounded cool, not at all what he thought it would be named, but cool sounding nonetheless.
The battle against Mizrabel had finally come to a close and the castle that surrounded them came down to the ground and vanished. "Finally." Was the first thing that Kel said before stretching out his limbs to take card of any cramps that might have remained due to being crammed into a chest all those times. He gave Aislinn a quick thumbs up in response to her question. Once the castle had fully removed itself from their sight, Dreamer was seen standing waiting for him along with two others. "The witch is defeated alright, but what exactly happened while we were gone?"
At the words of number I, the new idea for them to do was to actually leave the cave that they had awoken in. It wasn't a exactly a bad idea and easily could provide them with some answer to the various questions that they likely had, more so for his own case. He couldn't deny that he would rather find some common ground on what they knew beyond what was likely assumption, also on his part. If these pins that they wore indicated ranks or something similar, then number I was the assumed leader. Therefore he would likely go along with what she said unless there was something he noticed or thought was wrong.

Chrono's eyes never left the weapon as the explanation was given. "A key....blade?" The word sounded completely foreign to him and it didn't look like any key he's even see before. In fact, none of them out of these 'keyblades' that he could see actually looked like a key. This lead to him wondering if he had one of these 'keyblades' himself. During this curiosity of his others had started to awaken, which he made note of the extra voices that were heard behind him. "I don't think that's a good idea!" The louder the necessary outburst caused an immediate reaction of putting his hands over his ears. There was a slight hint of annoyance in his eyes as he looked towards the source of the outburst, a girl with a number VI pin. His hands were moved down from his ears hearing number III speaking. Getting organized would be a good place to start given their predicament. "Should we start with the pins that we all have?" A valid suggestion seeing as it was the only thing for certain that they had in common.
Unfortunately no one else really had an answer to his question regarding the pins that they all seemingly wore, in fact they were all just as confused as he was from what he could tell. His attention was briefly directed towards the broken machine that he had woken up next too. Another thing on the long list of question that he had right now, but given the current condition that it was it, there was no real urgency to know just what exactly it was. The sudden change in lighting had caught him off guard however seeing the reason behind it has caused Chrono eyes widen in surprise. The tip of the odd weapon that the girl was holding had light up and provide some more light to the cave they all were in. That had moved the odd weapon to the top of the list of things that he had questions about, especially with it appearing two of the people who were currently up had it. If it could make a fire to light up a cave, who knows what else that it could do? "That weapon you're holding, just what exactly is it?"
