Of course, the shadows didn't take kindly to being hit before they had a chance to strike. Even the floating ones weren't particularly fond of a zero gravity attack. The remaining horde decided to close in more towards the crypt, to keep the others sealed inside. While those shadows got closer, the giga shadows decided to surround themselves around Chrys with almost a tactical way of separating him away from the group (since he wasn't in the crypt after all) The group towards the crypt started to pour on in quickly towards the other four. They didn't get an attack in because of how much they had to move. The giga shadows kept circling around Chrys quickly until one lunged a slash at his back. The mega shadow just kind of chilled. Players Chrys: 15/25 HP Cerdic: 25/25 HP Daeni: 25/25 HP Marley: 20/20 HP Relli: 25/25 HP Heartless (because thanks for the math fam now you get the separate HP for each of them I hope you're happy) (total shadows left, 9) Shadow: 4/5 Shadow: 4/5 Shadow: 4/5 Shadow: 4/5 Shadow: 4/5 Shadow: 4/5 Shadow: 4/5 Shadow: 4/5 Shadow: 4/5 (total gigas left, 5) Gigas Shadow: 9/10 Gigas Shadow: 9/10 Gigas Shadow: 9/10 Gigas Shadow: 9/10 Gigas Shadow: 9/10 Mega Shadow: 29/50 ---------------------------- Ria had a low evil chuckle happen as Alder lunged at them. They didn't even make an effort to dodge. They just let Alder slash at them. And it certainly was not a light hit to take. It hurt a lot and Ria stumbled forward and immediately looked at the group saying, "I told you, the more I lose, the better I get... didn't I?" he looked over at them and said, "I just felt so much release there. Thank you, my friend." Ria summoned out not a keyblade, but a staff like weapon. And they raised it in the air before curing themselves and turning to the group, "I'm not here to fight you though. I need to find all those missing people and I know where to go. I also need to find my journal. I seem to have misplaced it. I thought I left it in the cave with the extractor. But I think I left it somewhere else before our experiment." Ria didn't even turn to look at the rest of the group they just finished up saying, "I'm gonna wager you don't remember that though. I wager some of you don't remember anything. Some of you, I don't want to remember anything." they summoned away their staff and as they left, they peered over at Chloe for a second, but a long enough of a second before saying in a different voice, "Or maybe you should all leave while you can." and then Ria disappeared once more into the darkness before Alder could get another hit.
Cutscene Start As the flashlight illuminated the crypt, nothing seemed to particularly be disturbed in the crypt. By that meaning, nothing was desecrated and that was highly fortunate. However, at the back of the crypt, a stone seemed to have been moved from the wall, and that stone was on the ground next to a book. The book was leather bound and had nothing on the front. But on the inside, it was labeled, "The Journal of Ryce Alber. If found, please return to Ryce Aevum, the new caretaker of this journal." Looking through the journal, there were many notes that seemed pretty destroyed. But a few were recoverable. There were sections dedicated to the creation of the Extractor, and there were side notes written in a different ink that seemed to annotate and comment on many thoughts in the journal. If one chose to read more of the journal. But once it was picked up, heartless began to appear outside of the crypt, ready to jump at the group once they left. Except for Chrys of course, who was outside of the crypt (or at least as far as the coordinator is aware): Only Chrys is aware of the heartless at this moment. He can preemptively strike as well, giving him an immediate double the damage per BP. (meaning, if your max is 20 BP. You can do 40BP's worth of damage. While only writing 20BP's worth of words. Party on!) Shadows: 10/10 (5 BP) Giga Shadows: 5/5 (10 BP) Mega Shadow: 1/1 (50 BP) --------- "I-I don't know. Last time I saw them was a few days ago... and the people? I- I don't-" The girl looked over their shoulders and stepped back in fear as a voice said, "Time doesn't necessarily matter to me though. A few days ago? Maybe more like five minutes ago. Though I guess you would assume someone with a handle on time would do better than this." Before they could turn around, there was a noise of something being summoned out and a noise of pain. As the group turned, Ria was there. Holding Xen up by the face saying, "Not as cautious as you were then. I thought at the very least you'd be the one keeping your keyblade out in case this happened." Ria looked to the rest of the group and said, "What happened to all that tight-knit unity you had? I mean, I know I just let you guys go, but I'm disappointed you aren't working at least a little faster. Talking to each other maybe?" Ria looked at the group and said, "Maybe this method would actually go slower. But again, the more I lose, the clearer it gets. But I would like to know where our little stragglers are. And I know one way I can." The darkness began to lift up and swirl around Ria until Xen began to become consumed by it. There was a loud bit of screaming before the darkness subsided and Xen's glasses dropped to the ground and Ria let out a breath of fresh air, "Now that's what I'm talking about. Information. Clear information." The girl shook and said, "D-did they just kill him?" "Ding ding ding. A correct answer from the unimportant one. Though I think they could have guessed too..." Ria looked straight at Kara before saying, "Especially our fearless leader here. I always thought you were on top of things. Or is that Chrys' job, doing all the busy work while you take all the leader credit?"
When I die, my last words will probably be: "Why is FuuxVen a big ship tho."
Take was almost horrified by the lackadaisical attitude of his peers. One person, the new person? They ran off to grab bread. Chrono wanted to wander off already. But Take saw the same thing as they did, the other master was right across with other students. Right there. And he was pretty annoyed by how seriously they weren't taking this. Yes, Atmos did mention that he sometimes took things too seriously, but when worlds were disappearing and there was a very good chance their worlds could vanish at any moment, Take didn't want to just take a chance and have a vacation just because they were somewhere new. Take walked up next to Atmos looking over at the people at the other end of the alley and said, "That's Master Choma, right?" he was pretty sure he remembered the name Atmos dropped when they asked who the other master was. He at this point just dismissed Chrono and the other girl. Glyde was probably about to catch up but he was more focused on the task at hand.
Ay leopardos we did it, we beat Unicornis! >immediately leaves for Unicornis because it was already scripted

Jael was there fairly quickly, he had gotten up early to finish up the rest of the document planning and had eaten a little while ago, and he had a feeling, considering the time, Dania probably skipped food which made him grumble slightly. He brought all of his stuff since his station was also going to end up being in the main navigation area for radio communication with other aliens they should run across. As he walked in he walked over to Dania's desk and placed the final translated documents on the desk, then he put down a little breakfast bar and said, "You don't have to eat it now but you know how mom got when you and dad didn't eat something before a big thing like this. Having something small is better than nothing." Jael did a slight lecture before he headed over towards his station since he knew he had interrupted. Kathi was pretty much already up well. She basically had to be there for engineering hours, but she was in a power nap in the area so she could work at optimum efficiency when the time came. When the Admiral's little notice happened, she got up and stretched and headed on downstairs towards the lower release chambers. If anything happened, Kathi and about three other people were to run around and keep changing the levels and levers to be sure everything was working optimally for Emma. Kathi also had another job where she was the one at the lower monitor to give cues and notes if anything went horribly wrong and to relay those to the captain as soon as she could. Kathi checked in on her spot and she had her waters ready, five canteens worth locked into a spot so they would not move rapidly during anything. Kathi read over the levels of everything and messaged out, "This is Kathi Rierson, everything is at optimal levels down here. I will check again when it's closer to deployment time since it's only 0730. Many are taking power naps, some are eating, most of us are ready to go for the heavy navigation."
Hey guys! I apologize for such a long wait on a meeting time. This wasn't intended at all, school work got in the way I kind of just had to go with it. Anyway, this is a current proposed day and time based on the days and times you guys gave me. But if anyone's schedule has changed since the time this was posted and can't make it on the proposed day, let me know and I'll do my best to rearrange the time or the day a little better: Wednesday, April 19th, 8pm EST (this would be roughly 1am UTC+0 ) If anyone has any problems, let me know PLEASE ALSO POST CONFIRMING ATTENDANCE THANK YOU
Jael looked at the documents for a moment to actually think about what he was translating for a moment since it had become automatic and he said, "Transit access through two systems. In order to get to our destination for our next mission, we have to pass through neutral territory that conflicts a bit with our last botched negotiation attempt. I gotta send these through early on and make sure it passes. I'm doing two different ones because you can access on either side and since it's in unclaimed territory due to the asteroid belt, we're doing okay. I mean, if there is life on the planet then it's not marked under the official registry and that's all I'm worried about right now... in case you zoned out: business stuff." Jael stretched a little and said informally, "Someone at the meeting was supposed to take notes and send me a synopsis of what was going on. If they didn't, I hope it wasn't anything that had to deal with me... anyway, how are you doing today? Come up with any exciting recipes?"
Kaida had been very excited to see that Base was indeed okay, but upon waving at him she realized that he couldn't see her because of the RG/UG split and she sighed and made a note to herself to say hello properly to him later. It was good to see familiar faces turn out okay, especially with so many disappearing lately and not returning. So when Hiro decided to go on the move, Kaida l realized she should probably go on and follow and she summoned out her key blade glider, for the first time in a while. The last time she'd used it was heading from Central Haven to Disney town and she was more than a little out of practice with it. She got onto it and looked at the rest of the UG people and said, "So, do you think this heartless thing has anything to do with Hiro's brother... um... Tadashi was it? Tadashi's death? Like, directly? I keep thinking about it since, well, he mentioned a fire and I'm wondering if it was an accident, or if it all connects somehow..."
The girl listened to the words and felt angry that they didn't remember, but considering there were holes in her own memory, she couldn't completely blame them. She stood up and took a deep breath and said, "We put out a distress call a little while ago... we have had a bit of a heartless problem, not big as this currently but big, for a while... and your team, L.I.G.H.T., answered it. You guys said you would uncover the source and get rid of the heartless." She wiped her eyes and said, "A lot of holes are there from that point on, but there's one thing I can't forget. I remember my chest feeling like it was burning, and there was this splintering pain that just kept getting worse, and I watched as... darkness was sucked out of my heart." she sounded just as confused to put those to words as the words themselves sounded confusing. She looked at the group and said, "I don't know anyone by the name of Ria but there was someone walking through the town a few days ago, and they were just surrounded by darkness. They kept a hood up, though, and the heartless seemed to... come to them at their call? I didn't trust them, but at the time I was still really weak and couldn't move."
Take listened intently to everything that was said, and listened to the questions asked by those around him. He too was curious about the other master so he didn't feel the need to ask that twice. However, what really peaked his curiosity is what could be happening to the other worlds if stars were disappearing. Certainly, that meant, if the worlds were disappearing then the people on them were disappearing too. That might explain where Thalassa disappeared, but it still left him worried. Then another question came to Takehiko's mind and he spoke up, "Master, what is the status of our homeworlds? Do you know if they've disappeared too or are they okay?" It wasn't that Take was going to run off home if he knew it was still fine to protect it, but he was worried heavily about his people and he just had a hunger to know. Out of everything, it was the only question besides the other master on his mind. He trusted Atmos wouldn't lead him astray after all the training, and he didn't really feel the need to question anything else.
When Cerdic did that, his keyblade did not have a particular reaction to the darkness, but the other keyblade continued to do so. The light helped to reveal the marker briefly though, stating: "In Memoriam Agnitio Our Light through the Dark." The crypt was filled with swirling darkness, though as they walked further, something connected with their feet, and a flashlight was now present. One of the whispers ended up being clear and stated: give back what you stole. the whispers only became more clear from there on, but they were all variations on the same idea. Give back my balance. You thief, give it back! Give back what is mine! --- As the last of the heartless disappeared, the person opened the door slightly to look out. They noticed the group and a look of relief showed on their face until they saw Kara, looked them directly in the eyes and said, "You!" they opened up the door, to reveal, well, about a fifteen year old girl with long black hair and blue eyes. She ran up to Kara and pushed her, though it was really weak, as she screamed, "You said you were going to help us! Then it got dark and now I can't remember what you did to all of them! What did you do to my mom and dad? What did you do to me?" The girl covered her face and dropped to her knees and said, "What did you do to my heart?!"
What do you mean, go unprepared? Take was pacing back and forth in the hall, Master Atmos had said to meet there soon, and to expect to be unprepared. Which he didn't understand even the slightest bit. And he clearly was overthinking it. He kept stumbling mentally the more he thought about it even from a philosophical perspective. But orders were orders, and he was going to try and follow them, but he didn't know how exactly he could go unprepared without going completely unprepared at all. Isn't the phrase usually, "Expect the unexpected"? Or prepare for the best and expect the worst? You should always be prepared, prepared for anything. Otherwise you aren't prepared. He knew he was overthinking it, and Take tried his best to just stop questioning. Even if it was encouraged highly by his master, it only happened in instances such as these, where something felt super conflicting with the instructions given. Take leaned into a nearby wall, soaking everything in as he waited. It wasn't like he had anything better to do, usually he was just hardcore on the training, and since they were presumably going on a mission he didn't have that. He tried to calm himself down though, his pacing was not keeping him calm and collected and it went completely against everything he was raised on. But perhaps just some quick meditation without pondering on those thoughts would do him some good.
Kathi told Simon she wouldn't say anything to anyone. She understood completely the idea of patient confindentiality, and nodded at John when he mentioned them having a proper conversation later then she took her leave, since there was not much else she could do after that. She knew they had to prepare for departure to the planet with the asteroid belt around it soon, so she just headed on back to engineering, trying to keep herself focused on the now, rather than the issues of her past. Now it seemed she had someone she could discuss that with if she ever wanted to, not that she particularly cared to, but she had no reason to dwell on it on her own anymore. Jael was almost done with his translation, and when he heard a knock he quickly started writing faster to get the sentence he just translated out of his head, because he didn't want to lose it but he also didn't want to leave the person at the door. But he realized it was going to take much longer so he spoke up, projecting his voice, "Yes I am, come in." and the computer blinked to allow access into the room. When Allec walked in Jael looked up and said, "Ah, hello Allec. Just give me a second I'm almost done translating this." he wrote for another minute or so before asking, "Did you need anything?"

I'm sorry but I'm not accepting any more OCs at this time because of the difficulty in inserting them into the story. I should have clarified that somewhere. My bad.
