A raft sounded like it would work, Anta looked over at the beach and sighed as she stood there between the two girls. Crossing her arms, she spoke once more. "Why would we want to build a raft if we could easily swim to the other side?" she said. Looking around, she tried to see if there was anything they could use to stay afloat or use to get across. Like a boat. A boat would be best and then she wouldn't have to get wet for nothing and possibly ruin her hair. Anta was sure that the others would not want to get wet either, so for now, she looked around to see if there was a way to get across without getting wet. She walked away for a bit and found a boat that could possibly fit all three of them. It was pretty big, so she began to push it towards the water. It had a rope attached and so she led it back to the other two slowly. The water was rather turbulent tonight, so it had to be led carefully. "I found a boat..." she said, with that same small and weak voice of hers. She stopped beside the two girls and used a rock to keep it in place. "After we get off of this island, whose house would be the closest to here...?" she asked. Standing beside Dawn, she reached a hand down. "Anta." she said, finally. She was trying to help her up, trying to make up for what happened earlier and how she completely ignored her. To be honest, Anta wanted to be friends with Dawn. She wanted to be friends with many people, but she was scared of doing it. This was because of the way people would act if they became friends with her.
Dead chuckled at Valinton's swearing after looking at his phone. "Is something wrong, Valentine~?" she said, giggling as she walked past him and stood beside Stephen. Patting Stephen on the head, she smiled. "I think I'll follow you two around for awhile, don't mind me." she said, running a finger along Stephen's chin. She still had the same illusion towards Stephen that she had put up a bit before. She wasn't too sure if he had noticed her or not, but she wasn't going to let something as interesting as this go before she had a chance to see it to the end. Even if this boy that Stephen knew was an acquaintance of his, she was quite surprised he was as willing to reveal his location and assist Valinton . "What will you do once you find him, Valentine?" she asked, glancing at him. She held her little skull companion in her hand and patted it, rubbing her cheek on it. "Will you...kill him?" she smiled wickedly. Doku moved the hand with the phone to her stomach and the other to stretch in front of her in an attempt to make him feel as if he had caused her to drop her phone. To make sure it was convincing, she splashed a bit of water on the ground with her foot and said "No! My phone!" as she backed away from him. She backed away from him even more as tears started to fill her eyes. The situation was getting pretty bad and she didn't want to be here any longer. She was scared of Zylen and what he could do, but there are a lot of people she is scared of in this city. They included Damnation, her Lord, somewhat Zylen, and Valinton. Thinking about that, reminded her of the scar on her neck and her sides that she felt a small bit of pain as she attempted to hide behind a garbage can, away from Zylen. She was hoping Valinton was on his way, but at the same time, she hoped that Neko could do something and that she wouldn't get hit as easily. A thought came to her mind and she looked at this garbage can and decided to look inside. There was a syringe, still intact. Removing it from the can carefully, she used a bit of water in a bucket to wash out the remaining drugs inside and began contemplating using it on Zylen with some type of poison she had on her person's.
I'd like to think that Master Xehanort was not a strong willed individual. Therefore, he didn't create a nobody.
Ananta smiled as Stratos and Kel both came to help her. Although she was a little saddened that Beuce didn't come over to help, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that she's going to have to use her teammates for a moment. Grabbing a hand from each of them and making them hold hands, they made a big circle of hand holding. Ananta had stood up by now and she looked at them. "I just need to borrow your mana for a little bit. I'm doing something that my mother taught me to do if my crystal was ever in danger of breaking." she said, closing her eyes. In a language that cannot be properly translated to English, she spoke an incantation that caused her crystal to light up. It glowed blue as small streams of blue seeped from Stratos and Kel. Soon enough, it was all over and the crystal was back to being it's normal dark blue color. No scratches could be found on the crystal as Ananta smiled and hugged both of them, planting a smooch on their cheeks. "Thank you guys, you saved my life...." she said, smiling at them. "And...sorry for getting all emotional back there...I still haven't gotten over some things, but I'll have to deal with them in due time. Right now, I've gotta fight this wizard's duel." she said, walking beside Beuce. She looked at him and smirked. "That was a pretty good idea. Any other bright ideas?" she whispered.
The shadows and neoshadows were soon disipated by Caleb. Of course, the ones to come after were probably the most annoying heartless. Small blue rhapsodies and their other colored variants came out of the darkness and began to annoy him. Even so, the shadows and neoshadows were still coming out, although there were far less considering the rhapsodies here now. They attacked him relentlessly, not allowing him to stop for even a second. Eventually, they all disappeared and what was left was Natana and Gexln fighting not too far away. Natana raised a clawed hand to grasp the Dark Firaga. She slung it off towards Caleb without a care as she raised her other dark claw to block the dual attack. Grasping the blades, she looked at Gexln and grinned at him. A voice began to echo from all around, seemingly originating from the clones' mouth. "I always knew you were a weak individual. Look at you now, having been defeated and a lowly being of nothingness to replace you. Perhaps I can assist you into returning to the darkness?" A cackle was now echoing around the area as Natana shot a claw at Gexln's face. Of course, this left the clone wide open for an attack from Caleb, seeing as he was not preoccupied.
Ananta grumbled at each of them. Each of them said something that just ticked her off even more. Kel barked orders at her, probably trying to be a leader and make her do what he wants. Beuce said something about magic stats and having the lowest one or whatever. Stratos was trying desperately to be like Beuce, what with him referencing some kind of res stat or whatever. Ananta crouched down to the ground, placing her hands over her ears. She was wishing they would just stop talking and leave her alone for awhile. Looking down at her crystal for the first time in awhile, Ananta saw how dark it had gotten. Gasping, she held it in front of her and gripped it. "What happened...?" she said to herself. "What did I do wrong...? Am I not strong enough..." she began to think out loud. Small cracks began to form in the crystal as Ananta held it in her hand. Her eyes widened and she sobbed. "Could somebody come here..." she asked of her teammates. "Please...?" she said.
How do you do that?
The book is far too popular and teen angst as you've said. I don't think I could ever read it. Mostly because I'm just not into those types of stories. I'd rather read stories about adult situations/real world situations.
Is there a way to get notifications when a person makes a thread in a Social Forum? I've been wondering this since I rarely check them out and can miss some things.
Ananta closed her eyes and covered her ears as the others tried to tell her to calm down. She even ignored Beuce's attempts to be serious. The only thing that snapped her out of this was cackling coming from the hut. Squinting her eyes, Ananta watched as an old woman flew out of the hut on a broomstick. Mim surfed around before stopping and squabbling with Merlin. Ananta blinked at the old woman before she turned her attention to Nequa. Stomping over towards Nequa, Ananta's keyblade returned to her hand in a flash of light. "If you think I'm going to stand here and fight an elderly witch, then you are sadly MISTAKEN!" she exclaimed, swinging her keyblade at Nequa. Of course she missed, seeing as Nequa moved away. Ananta huffed, gripping her keyblade tightly. Holding her hand up, ice formed around in a ball. Gripping it, she threw a ball of ice towards Nequa. "I don't want to fight Madame Mim, I want to fight YOU." she pointed at Nequa. "Unless you're too chicken to fight against a keyblade wielder." Ananta finished.
Hi...
After watching events unfold from her position in the cave, Ananta stepped forward on an outcropping from this cave. Behind her, a barrier appeared. It sealed everyone inside and could only be broken by a keyblade or Ananta herself. It was only as a precaution, for she already decided to stand her ground and not leave the cave completely. From the sidelines, she could do many things. She could heal as well as attack Omega if she so chose to do. Behind her, she heard a thud and glanced back to see Anta had passed out once again. This boy was cumbersome at times, but he was still a boy and in no way would he be able to fight long battles. Ananta herself, however, had grown accustomed to such battles. This is why she kept training in her free time, she knew something would happen again some day. And she also isn't as young as she used to be. Although her body hadn't changed all too much. Thinking about the time, she remembered her husband and couldn't stand there and bite her lip to get her mind off of him. She couldn't let darkness cloud her mind, for she had to concentrate and protect many people. The Natana clone gasped awake when the Firaga slammed into her chest. The armor had a dark tinge to it where she was injured, but it soon regained it's sheen. Leaning forward off the throne, not standing up normally, she stood there. Her eyes were not the same as the real Natana, rather, they were less sane looking. She couldn't help but keep a wicked grin across her face as she gathered darkness around her hands. Dark Claws formed around her hands as she leaped forward and lunged for Gexln. She swung both hands down onto him, hoping to actually hit him. Behind her, the darkness of the throne stirred and various Shadows and Neoshadows arose. They slid across the floor towards Caleb, ready to attack him. For now, they would poke up for a moment to try and grab him before they slid back into the ground. Natana did her best to try and keep Gexln paying attention to her instead of trying to help Caleb in any way. Back at the throne, the real Natana was fast asleep, deep within the darkness. Although, she made sure everything in this room smelled of darkness, her darkness, to try and throw off anybody that had a weird sniffer ability. She thought ahead, not too sure if it would even be of any use. In her sleep Natana took over the clone and gave it life to make it seem like she was the real thing. She already had something planned out and she knew exactly how it would go. She would let the clone die and they would leave with it. In the end, the real Natana would get away scotch free! That made her smile in her sleep.
Ananta shrugged the hands of her shoulders and turned towards her teammates. Her eyes burned with doubt and hurtfulness. "I don't need your stupid words!" she yelled at them. "Two out of three of you are far too incompetent to understand. The other couldn't care less so long as he was able to get through all of this. None of you will ever know what I've gone through in these past few months." she said, being all too unfair to her teamates. She hadn't even learned any of their stories and yet she was making such assumptions. "I watched my own world die. Every single person I cared for and held dear to me have died because I couldn't realize I was a keyblade wielder in time!" she kept on. During her talk, she swung her keyblade around angrily, nearly hitting the others. "I sat there and watched my mother sacrifice herself so I would have enough energy in this stupid crystal to make my journey. Now it's almost empty because I took it for granted..." Ananta had tears in her eyes now from remembering the things that have happened. The crystal was indeed growing rather dark now, but nothing different could be seen. "And even in this...in my greatest moment of despair, none of you can drop the stupid antics long enough to offer REAL words of compassion. Stupid Beuce is still spouting nonsense, Kel doesn't care, and Stratos just doesn't know! I'm sick of it!" she finished, throwing her keyblade down. It clanged against the ground and landed in front of Nequa.
According to another website, KH2.5 is reaching the end of it's development. I foresee a 2014/2015 release. 2014 for JP and 2015 for everywhere else. http://www.siliconera.com/2014/04/0...inal-fantasy-xv-dissidia/#0zV3bo6sHc5WWlBU.99
Ananta watched events unfold before her. Magic was slung on both sides, but it seems the good side was losing. At least, Mizu was asleep for awhile, anyway. Gripping her keyblade, Ananta was thinking about what she could do. The magic she just witnessed was quite powerful. It rivaled her own magic and surpassed it greatly. This put her a little down, but then, she started to think. "I'm surrounded by magic...and yet I can't even cast a spell without having a chance to miss..." she said, looking at the ground. She began to despair, thinking of how weak her magic was compared to the other spells she had seen in her time on this world. Frustrated, Ananta looked at Nequa. "Why can't I be a good enough mage? Why can't I do anything with my magic? Why am I always the weakest whenever we go to new worlds..." she exclaimed, sadness filling her words and her heart. She walked towards Nequa and got rather close to her. "Why are you so much more powerful?!" she said, nearly screaming. Looking down, she stared at her keyblade. "What am I doing wrong?" she said, great sadness in her voice. All of this was beginning to be too much. Her mind couldn't and wouldn't get off the fact she failed to close a keyhole twice now. It wouldn't get off the fact she nearly got knocked out in the last world. She was far too weak, she thought, and that she was completely useless as a party member. Heck, she even attacked somebody on her own side back in the land of departure. Ananta couldn't help but feel weak and useless. This caused her crystal to reflect the darkness she was brooding over, for it gained a darker color to it, no longer shining faintly pink as it was not too long ago.
Dead was getting ready to yell at Valinton again before she felt as if her own mind was being invaded by something. Not wanting to sit there and have her personal life pushed into, she did her best to create an illusion in her own mind of falsified memories. They mostly pertained to cake and other deserts. Groaning and listening to Valinton talk, she suddenly noticed a man standing next to Valinton. Thus, she quickly took on the illusion of an ordinary person. Of course, doing so allowed her to begin attempting to find out this man's own weaknesses and fears. Smirking, she crossed her arms and placed a finger on her chin. "Interesting." she said, chuckling. A muffled ringtone could be heard. Dead checked her own phone to make sure it wasn't her before she looked at Valinton. "I suppose somebody sent you a message, Valinton? Might want to check it out." she said. "We can take this boy here with us, if he so wishes to do so. I'm sure it won't take too long, hm?" she suggested. Zylen's grip nearly choked Doku, but fortunately her plan to blind him worked. Coughing and gasping, she held her phone tightly in her hand. She would possibly need it to blind him once again in the near future, but she was hoping that it wouldn't come to that. Standing up and rubbing her neck, she looked at her phone and began to tap out a text message. Looking around, she found the street they were near and wrote it into her message. Looking up again to try and find a notable landmark, she saw Neko had began to attack Zylen. Instead of trying to stay out here in the way of Zylen and Neko, Doku slipped off a bit away to try and not get involved. As soon as she did, she pressed send on her phone. The message was to Valinton and it stated the place they were at and only one other word. 'Help.' Doku wasn't too sure if he really would want to help, considering everything that had happened in one day, but Doku was far too along for this plan of hers to be abandoned. If she did abandon it, she would probably have to risk not being able to have children at all. That was a thing she just wasn't ready for, considering she is pretty young and she does want children someday. For now, she just had to focus on surviving and making sure the child within her stomach did not get hurt or die. If it did, then her whole plan would fall to pieces and not only would Valinton hate her...but she would hate herself the most. Thinking about the plan brought a pang of sadness to Doku. She knew that the child would die and she knew that the whole experiment may fail as well. If the child born was not a Spirox, then the plan would indeed fail. But at the same time, if it were born a Mutant, she knew Damnation would possibly feel some sort of respect in his own way. That would mean that Spirox and Mutants could reproduce and thus, an easier way for Mutants to be born would happen. That would mean a lot, considering the Humans were already dwindling as it was. They DID live in a small district, close-knit and all. Shaking her head, Doku stood against the wall and rubbed her neck again. She would definitely have marks for awhile after this, but it was a price to pay. She just hoped that her message went through and Valinton would be on his way.
Ananta wasn't on Beuce's shoulder. She had actually gotten off, vaulted off to be more precise, a bit before that. Of course, she didn't quite expect Beuce to just bum rush into the hut and break down the door. Having listened to Merlin's speech about the different levels of magic, Ananta looked at him. "All that magic? Mizu may be able to do such magic, but she is far too naive as of now. I don't expect her to use it all too easily and with a great amount of control." Ananta commented. It was then that she witnessed Beuce charging into the front door of the hut. Ananta reached forward to try and stop him, but she was far too late. He had already crashed through the front door. Gritting her teeth, Ananta clenched her fist and punched the palm of her other hand. "I'm going to pummel him when we get out of here!" she said, through her teeth, before she ran off to follow him. She approached the hut and looked around inside from the doorway, looking to see if Beuce was actually okay or if he had died. "Beuce? Are you okay? Did you die?" she called out. "Please don't die, we need you!"
Anta knew that neither of them would say thank you. That's just how people are. Especially during a fight. Pleasantries usually cannot be spared on the battlefield, so she decided to ignore them ignoring her and stand back up. These creatures had now hurt her and they could not be allowed to exist for much longer. When she stood up, Anta joined the two halves of her staff together once again. Twirling the staff around, spinning it above her, she stamped it down on the ground. This caused a storm of winds to swirl around her, causing sand and the creatures to fly high above. Her comrades were fine, she made sure of that, so once the creatures began to fall back down, Anta took this opportunity to quickly end the last of them. Turning to everyone, she quickly removed the sand from their clothing and hair. Seems like her wind magic was still too erratic to be trustworthy. "Sorry..." she muttered. Having finished using her magic, she reattached her weapon to her back and looked around. Anta came to the conclusion that she most certainly has not been to this part before. The moon was shining above the water and it gave it a serene glow, but the fact that a person on the other side of the water could see them, let alone hear them, was pretty remarkable. Placing her hand on her chest, Anta could feel the crystal of hers. She pulled it out and turned her back to the others in the group and whispered to it. She wasn't quite sure if the woman in the crystal could hear her, but she felt as if something was listening to her. The dream she had could not have been just that, a dream, it had to mean something more. Anta just couldn't figure it out. 'I know what I heard...what I saw...what I felt...it had to be real!' she thought. Sighing, she turned back to the other two in the group and put her hands behind her back. She still wasn't ready to introduce herself to them. Not unless they asked her first, would she do so. It wasn't that she was rude, she just couldn't trust them enough to give her name out to them yet. Besides, if they found out she was talking to a crystal, they might just think she was crazy. Anta didn't need that sort of reputation.
Ananta wasn't expecting Beuce to be as...lively as he was. In fact, she didn't expect him to react at all, let alone pick her up. Unfortunately, he didn't put her down immediately. She crossed her arms at him asking for an exception about not putting her down. "Am I too heavy for you?" she said. Moving around a bit, she fell down and latched onto his head. Essentially, she was sitting on his shoulders. "You're a big, strong man, Beuce, I'm sure my frail body can be held up by a guy such as you~" she said. The tilde implies flirtatiousness. Playing with his hair a little, she looked around to see if she saw some kind of a house. Unfortunately, she kept having to dodge branches, so her job was a little hard. Eventually, she spied a hut in a clearing. "I think I can see a hut over there!" she exclaimed, pointing off.
Dead sighed, stepping sluggishly to Valinton. "What is it why do you want me-" she started and stopped. "Did you really just call me over for a PLANT?!" she yelled. Grabbing Valinton by his shirt collar, she lifted him up and above her slightly. "I grow tired of this. I am not in the mood for stupid games, BOY, so you had best think of something and some way to pay me once you are done." she growled at him. Her body started to seep into an illusion again. She took on the appearance of death itself. "You don't want me to get angry, BOY." she said, shoving him away. Doku didn't expect him to actually not listen to her. "Gack!" she choked, feeling his talons in her neck. "Why will you...not...gack...listen to me!" she feebly yelled. Thinking of ways to try and stop him...Doku thought of something. Smirking, she retorted "Your talons are not as sharp as the claws of another I know..." Doku chuckled. "But I can...probably...stop you, Zylen..." she said, coughing. His talons made her neck bleed slightly. Reaching a shaking hand into her belt, she pulled out her smart phone. Tapping onto it quickly, albeit very shakily, she opened a flashlight application and pointed the light straight at Zylen's face. Now she just had to wait for him to crawl away like a scaredy bat. "Do not...underestimate...me..." she chuckled.
