Hunt for the Keyblade

OOC: xD Awesome.

 

ooc: alright quick couple things.

-Sora_gaiden, "Dark arts" is not an acceptable magic. pick a single element (Fire, Ice, ect) as your main and you can learn more spells later on.

-Keybladewarrioroflegend, since your the only one who picked evil for allignment (I think) i would be honored for you to play the role as the villain, you dont have to i'm just offering.

-this is my first time rping in like....2 years so cut me some slack with this rp xD

without further ado (adu? sp? who cares lol), i present to you the official start of The hunt for the keyblades:

IC: A star shot across the sky in a spectacular array of white light. Its flight like a tear shed by a giant, rolling down the face of the sky. Vynn watched the star fly through the air. He was sitting atop the trainstation tower in his home of Twilight town, his body in a relaxed position. He felt dizzy this night, as if his surroundings were extending far off into the distance. As he prepared to leave the tower, a strong force pushed him off the tower and he began a fast decent towards the ground. Vynn remained silent however,chock rushing through him as the thought hit him that he was about to die. Emotions soared through him, and he felt as if time and space began to warp around him. Time froze immedietly right before his body hit the ground, and for some reason, Vynn recalled a famous quote from his childhood, "Fate is not coincidental, everything is necessity", he then crashed through the ground in an amazing display of colored glass. He was now swimming through a bottomless sea of water, quickly descending down to deeper depths. After what seemed like an eternity of falling, Vynn opened his eyes to see that he landed on something solid.
"what..." his voice whispered throughout the endless dark sea. A light suddenly shown from below him. standing up, he observed the ground below him. He was standing on a circular platform made from beautiful green glass. Various pictures of strange beings covered the outer circumference. In the center of the platform was a large colored door with a large keyhole in the middle of it. Taking caution, Vynn stood up and slowly walked towards the center of platform until he was standing over the keyhole. suddenly, the keyhole radiated a black light that began to pull Vynn inside. Struggling to break free, Vynn soon realized that he could no longer breathe as he was being sucked down into the hole, and suddenly a voice whispered to him "You are chosen......a terrible evil approaches your world."
Vynn found himself awakening yet again on another platform. This one was blue however and had pictures of various strange men and women on it. "you alone must seek out the grand key, a blade who's power is both terrible and wonderous". He wanted to call out back at the voice, however he realised he could not get himself to speak. blue lights began to shoot up from the platoform around him. Then, strange blue creatures appeared from the light and began to circle him. Vynn instinctively reached down to his waist, and he found that his daggers were there. Gripping them, he held them in a backwards position and formed an x with his arms over his chest, blades sticking outwards. Suddenly, great rage built up within him, and he suddenly shot forward in a fast dash. The closest blue creature leaped directly at him, Vynn reached by swinging his right arm out, downwards, up and back down in a quick slash, eradicating the being from existance in a blue puff of smoke. The momentum of the flash brough his body weight down, so as his arm finished the swing he landed it flat on the ground and brought his legs up , doing a one armed cartwheel, he quickly spun on his hand, moving his legs so they faced the creaturess in front of him. Gripping his dagger as he pushed off the ground, Vynn delivered a strong kicks with both his feet that shot two more creatures crashing into others behind them. Landing, Vynn quickly spun around, swinging his arms out, allowing his daggers to cut two more creatures. Coming to a stop, the remainder of the creatures vanished, and the voice continued. "Its eternal power will call to you, and you will seek it out" A large rumbling began to take place and a large black hand shot from the glass in front of him and grabbed Vynn. A giant black face with ominous yellow eyes rose from the darkness. black tendirls extended from its head and slowly headed towards Vynn, whos struggles against the beast's strength proved futile. Suddenly, time froze again as the voice continued. "if you fail, Void will consume your tranquil world and bring forth Naught.
The Naught will summon calamity.And Calamity will destroy all you love.Your Chosen Path is left to you.There are two roads to power.One path to salvation.Follow the Red Light." A keyhole appeared on the forehead of the large creature, and a red lght shot forth that shone over Vynn, and ripped him from the beast's clutches. The red light dragged Vynn through the empty sea at a remarkable sea. Vynn's screams were quieted by the sound of rushing waves and a high pitched whistling sound. Light shone around him and filled him with a strange feeling. He felt his body make impact, and he heard the voice. "Fate is necessity"
Vynn awoke atop the tower in mid day. The bright sun shone over the world of Twilight town, bringing the start of a new Journey. Vynn was in deep breath as he awoke. He looked around to realise he was back in twilight town, and the events that took place were all a dream. "just a dream..." he spoke to himself, "but it felt so real...." he paused a bit to recollect on te events that occured "the....grand key.." he whispered in his head.

 

The white hallways of Castle Oblivion's 13th floor led to a glorious throne room. Sitting in the throne was Phenox, the lord and master of darkness. Not only was the dark's lord and master, but in Phenox's mind, he was the God of the dark. He stood up. "Twilight Town, that is where I go next." He summoned a dark corridor around himself, teleporting to Twilight Town.

 

Ria stood by the door of her house at twilight town. She leaned against the wall with one leg propped up against the wall. She looked off into the red sunset with her blue eyes. Wondering about her past and what she's done to so many people.
"Ria!" a voice yelled with joy. She turned her head to her right and saw a bunch of kids, with smiles, running up to her with a big white ball in their hands. "Ria!"
"Hey kids," she said as she pushed off the wall and bent over, putting her hands on her knees so that she could get almost eye level with them. "What are you guys up to today?" She asked with a smile.
"Ria! We wanted to show you what we could do with this ball! Wanna see?"
"Of course," she replied with a smile and watched as they went to the end of the street to hit the ball up into the air repeatedly with joyful smiles on their faces. Ria had a slight smile on her face as she watched. Then there was a change in the wind. Time had stopped. The ball the kids were playing with had frozen in mid air. No one was moving the kids stayed frozen there, some leaping with their feet in the air. Ria looked up to see a bird frozen in time.
"What's going on?..." Ria wondered as she looked around. Then there was a flicker of movement. A blue being flew to the right and up the alley way. What was that? She wondered.
She quickly ran after it. When she came to the end of the alley way she saw it again, waiting for her. It moved animal like. Was in fact completely blue besides a strange symbol on its chest.
"What are--" the being then jumped up and ran along side a building. "HEY!" Ria screamed after it. She followed it all the way to the sand lot. Were it stopped on more time in the center of area. She slowly walked up to it, her boots, that had heels, made gentle noises against the pavement. She was a yard from it when it leapt at her. She quickly pulled out her pistol and shot it. It dissappeared in a cloud of blue smoke. The change of a wind came back and time resumed. Sound came back to reality. In the place where the blue creature stood laid a letter. Ria walked over to the letter and picked it up. She then read the following:

You who are chosen,
A terrible evil approaches your world.
You alone must seek the Grand Key, a blade whos power is both terrible and wonderous.
Its eternal power will call to you, and you will seek it out.
For if you fail, Void will consume your tranquil world and bring forth Naught.
The Naught will summon calamity.
And Calamity will destroy all you love.
Your Chosen Path is left to you.
There are two roads to power.
One path to salvation.
Follow the Red Light.​

She folded up the paper. What the heck... She then looked up at the clock tower and there sat someone alone. She didn't know him that well. But she's seen him a few times in town. That's dangerous... Then she watched as he fell from the clock tower. She gasped and without thinking ran to the transtation, but no one was there. there was no one on the ground. What's going on? Ria thought and stared back off into the sunset. She thought her past was tough? Her past was easy compared to her future.

 

Phenox appeared at the Tram Common. A huge pain hit his head as he spotted the same shooting star Vynn saw.

You who are chosen, A terrible evil approaches your world. You alone must seek the Grand Key, a blade whos power is both terrible and wonderous. Its eternal power will call to you, and you will seek it out. For if you fail, Void will consume your tranquil world and bring forth Naught. The Naught will summon calamity. And Calamity will destroy all you love. Your Chosen Path is left to you. There are two roads to power. One path to salvation. Follow the Red Light.

Phenox stood up straight. "Follow... the red light? Calamity? Naught?" He shook his head. "Weird..."

 

Character Name: Isleen
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Class: Rogue
Weapon: Gauntlet; Abaddon http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs14/f/2007/024/2/e/Anima__Battle_gloves_by_Wen_M.jpg
Magic: Ice
World: Coronae; a seemingly idyllic city-state. Strength is prized above all, with intelligence and innovation a close second; thus they have a strong military (with an ego to match it) and are technologically advanced in many ways. The city authorities are oppressive, to say the least.
Build: Because of her short stature (only 5"1), skinny limbs, and small bust, from a distance she's often mistaken for a young girl. Her red-brown hair is kept short, about shoulder-length, because she's too busy to tidy it most times. She wears a sleeveless shirt that is high cut in front but backless, revealing a smattering of old scars from training. She wears black denim shorts, gray over-the-knee socks, and knee high, black boots. On the middle finger of her right hand she wears a silver signet ring, a gift that means a lot to her.
Allignment: Bad
Personality: On first impression, she seems like a jovial, carefree person; she is given to tease the people she cares about and taunt those she despises. However, she's quite level-headed and prefers to strategize at least a moment before rushing into things. She likes to fight, and treats battles like high stakes, adrenaline-filled chess games.
History: As all children in Coronae, she grew up with a lot of restrictions, high expectations, and a lot of ambition. She trained hard to achieve a high rank in the military alongside her childhood friend, and later her sweetheart, Dante.
After a high ranking officer committed a crime, Dante was used as a scapegoat so the other man could be spared execution. She has accepted his death, but refused to forgive the ones responsible for it. She wishes to put an end to their corruption by destroying her former home.
Dante did not actually receive the execution; strings were pulled by those who felt too much guilt and he secretly received exilation from the city. Since then, his heart has turned to darkness and is making sure Isleen's does the same.

 

ooc: Welcome sinner ^^ its good to have you rping with us again. and i saw that dude's deviant before! that dude is naaaaassstttyy xD. Alright should we wait for people to post in ordeR? or should we just post whenever? I'll let you guys decide.

 

OOC - Hmm... I say we should try posting whenever.
I say this due to the complications in posting when it comes to inactivate RP members.

 

ooc: Sorry its so long, I got carried away ^^; the lazy people can skip to the final 1/3

The sun was on the verge of setting, its red light making the water of the lake appear crimson. She sat in a rowboat in the middle of the lake, looking almost meditative as she gazed into the water. "This was always your favorite spot," she said quietly. "When the pressures of our duty started to grate on both of us, you'd take me here and, for a little while at least, we could truly relax."
A voice calling from the shore interrupted her reverie. "Isleen, hurry it up! We have to head back home soon!" Isleen looked at the distant figure at the shore, a comrade who had been assigned to watch out for her once she asked permission to use her day off to visit outside the city. Knowing he was too far away to see her face, she stuck out her tongue at him. Was it too much to ask for a private moment without getting intteruppted? "Okay," she called back. "I'll be over there in a minute." Giving the scenery one last look, she reached for the oars with the intention to start heading for shore. A movement in the water caught her eye. Curious, she squinted into the water, a small frown on her face. At that instant, a wiry blue arm emerged from the water, latching onto the side of the boat. A small creature pulled itself out of the water. Its red eyes, full of malice, glared at her. It swiped at her with its skinny arms, but she managed to sidestep its attack and kicked it back into the water. She looked around uneasily at the surface of the water. Of all places to be attacked, a small boat was perhaps the worst; not only was there little room for her to manuever, but she had left her gauntlet with her companion so it would not get lost in the water. She opened her mouth to call out to the guard at the shore, when a dozen or so blue arms grabbed ahold of one side of the boat and flipped it over, making her plummet right into the water.
She fought for the surface, but the blue creatures clung to her, dragging her down. She kicked at them and tried to squirm out of their grip, but they were strong for such skinny things. Finally, she managed to free one of her arms and put the palm of her hand on one of the creatures. Utilizing her magic, the creatures touching her were covered with a layer of ice. Since they no longer struggled against her, she easily shoved them away and punched them, obliterating them into millions of crystalline shards.
With the creatures no longer attacking her, she realized that she was not sinking slowly in water anymore; instead she was drifting down in a great void.
"Would you prefer to drown, or dive?"
The sound of the voice startled her, for it seemd to come from nowhere and everywhere, and somehow very familiar. "Into what?" she called back, irritated that she could not see the speaker.
"Into the darkness." As if responding to the voice, a great wave of cold, blackness covered her. She couldn't see, could barely breathe against the force of it. "Dive into the darkness, accept it, and in turn you will become stronger. With that strength, you could achieve the peace you've craved in the deepest recesses of your heart, and right the injustices of the past." She felt her heart skip a beat. How did it know what she wanted? The voice then went on, "Or you can drown, and lose all. Which do you choose?"
The force of the blackness was nearly suffocating at that point. "I choose to d--" At that moment, a great light burst, making the darkness dissipate like mist. It was so strong, she closed her eyes to avoid being blinded. A voice spoke again, this one very different from the first. Don't let the darkness coerce you into making a choice; think carefully. The path to power doesn't always lead to peace of the heart.
She opened her eyes, and find herself being hauled out of the water by her companion. "When I said hurry up, I didn't mean jump in and swim to shore," he said patronizingly.
"I'm sorry," she said quietly. "I'm not sure what came over me."
He shook his hood, annoyed. "Don't do anything dumb like that again." He looked at her strangely. "What's that you're holding?"
She looked down into her hands and found herself clutching a small bottle, inside of which she could see a note. "Just a piece of trash I found," she said dismissively. "Go ahead and start walking without me, I'll catch up with you in a moment." Looking at her strangely, he handed her her gauntlet and started down the path that led to Coronae. She pulled the cork out of the bottle with trembling fingers and took out the note. It read:
You who are chosen,
A terrible evil approaches your world.
You alone must seek the Grand Key, a blade whos power is both terrible and wonderous.
Its eternal power will call to you, and you will seek it out.
For if you fail, Void will consume your tranquil world and bring forth Naught.
The Naught will summon calamity.
And Calamity will destroy all you love.
Your Chosen Path is left to you.
There are two roads to power.
One path to salvation.
Follow the Red Light.
Was this the power the first voice had spoke of? The power that would let her...She tried not to think about it, but the desire could not be suppressed. She slid her left hand into the gauntlet, flexed her fingers, and headed down a path opposite the one that led to Coronae. She would find the Key, and with it she would right everything wrong in this world.
With it, she would destroy her home.

 

Vynn made his way down the stairs of the train station tower, pondering to himself the events that occured the previous evening. He figured he must have dozed off while star gazing, and fallen into sleep shortly after the shooting star flew by. Attempting to forget the events that took place, Vynn turned his attentions to more important matters. Vynn was a memmbr of the T.T.E.G, or the Twilight Town Elite Guardsman, a small group of Twilight towns citizens who vow to protect the city. Though their intentions benevolent, the rest of the town doesn't encourage such activity, and find their cause meaningless. Danger in Twilight Town is about as rare as the sky raining gold; its simply unfathonable. Godrick, the guard's leader, believes that a great calamity is bound to strike the city any day now. He claims to have come here from another world when he was young, a world of strange creatures and monsters. Vynn and the rest of the guard find his stories fascinating and intriqueing, though Vynn has doubts of his own regarding the authenticity of what Godrick says.
Vynn opened the door and arrived at the empty area outside the train station that overlooks much of the city. The golden sun beat down upon the city, radiating a beautiful golden light to fill the city during the day. Admiring the city, Vynn thought of how much he loved it, and would do just about anything to protect it. This thought brought back the memory of the dream, and of the strange words that whispered in his head. "A great calamity....naught...destruction..what does that mean?" Vynn figured he would speak to Godrick and see if he knew anything about this. He began to walk towards the tram common and towards the direction of his headquarters. Along his way, he noticed a strange female ahead of him, one hes seen around, but never formally met. Kia...Keena..something along those lines, but it mattered not, he had more pressing matters of hand. Passing past the girl, a strange feeling shot through him (no, not that you pervs xD), the nostalgic feeling of anger mixed with sorrow he felt the night before during his dream. Quickly shrugging off the feeling, believing it was nothing, and continued to walk at a regular pace, heading towards the Guards headquarters.

 

Ria watched as the guy who fell from the tower passed her. The look of curiosity upon her face. He was obviously alive and alright. He didn't even look like he fell 200 feet. He continued walking her for a couple yards. She waited a little bit. Debating whether or not to ask.
"Hey!" She yelled turning around to catch up to him. "I know this is going to sound very strange, but did...did you fall from the clock tower?" She asked as she walked beside him to where ever his destination was.

 

The chill of fright washed over Vynn in an awe-aspiring way. He stopped walking as she began to talk, his body facing the empty path ahead of them. He remained compeltely motionless at this point for several seconds. The memories of the previous evening flooded into him, and he remembered it all. Yes...he remembered it all now. He DID fall, but if that is true, then how is he still alive?
"foolish girl", he said aloud, "If I'd fallen off the clock tower....how is it that i'm still alive and talking to you now?" He smirked and waved a hand through his blonde hand, "stay outta trouble" He then continued his walk down, his mind his utter ruin at the thoughts of what happened. "Whats happening to me?" he said to himself. He figured Godrick would have his answers, and so he hurried his pace down the hill towards the base, located beyond the woods outside the Town.

 

Her purpose was clear. However, the idea of where to begin was beyond her. Follow the red light... "I don't see any red light to follow," Isleen muttered. A column of darkness rose out of the ground in front of her. Startled, she leap away from it. It was like the darkness she had encountered under the lake, but more contained. Controlled. Well, it was no red light, but...
She stepped into it. At first, she could see or hear nothing, but after several minutes she heard the voice of a little girl. "All the grown ups are so mean," she complained. Isleen looked around for the source of the voice, but of course could still see nothing. The girl's voice went on, "They make us follow their rules, but they break them all the time."
"They're called hypocrites, Issy," a boy's voice replied. Isleen gasped. She remembered this conversation, remembered that voice.
"Hypo-what?"
"Hypocrites; people who pretend to be what they're not. But don't tell them I said that, we'll get in trouble."
"I know that, silly...they don't like it when we insult them."
"Just follow the rules for now," he advised. "You and me, when we grow up and become strong, we'll change all that. We'll make this city a happy place."
Tears pricked at her eyes, but she managed to hold them back. 'Too bad they killed you before then,' she thought bitterly.
When the darkness finally opened up, she practically dashed out into the light, glad to escape that old memory. She glanced around; she stood in the middle of what looked like the market of a large town. It was so peaceful looking it could almost be described as sleepy, especially with the setting sun throwing half of everything in shadows, half in a dull orange glow.
It was not the kind of place she expected to be sent to, but she knew there was a reason for it. With that in mind, she started down the street to explore her new surroundings.

 

The man walked away from Ria down to the headcourters of the T.T.E.G. Foolish Girl? She pondered as she watched him walk away. I know for a fact that i'm older than him. She felt slightly offened. But there was nothing she could do about it. What was she to do now? She decided to go back to the trainstation to search for any evidence of someone falling.

 

ooc: Basically 3/4ths of this is back story and introducing some of the characters. The most important part is the last half, mysterious blue creatures are attacking people in the sandlot so Vynn + gang are going to check it out.

Through the trees was the small construction site which was the T.T.E.G headquarters. Various men were grouped around stone walls that looked like rubble, fixing and repairing the area as best as they could. For as long as anyone could remember, the area outside the town wasnt used much other than camping trips or playing around. The city happily gave up the land for the T.T.E.G since no one really has any use for it. Its silly to think that such a simple town recquires a guard force, but Godrick claims that this is all about to change. none of the guardsmen really know what he means by that, but they all seem to find a hint of truth in his words. Godrick radiates a friendly aura that allows him to befriend rpactically anyone he encounters. Vynn envies this, though looks up to godrick like both a brother and mentor.
The rubble was layed out in a pattern that blueprinted what the outside of the would look like. a large rectangle outlined the main hall, with two square sections next to it marking a dining room and mission room. Dummies were set up inside the large rectangle, where some of the new members were practicing swordplay. The area was clockwork, people were running back and forth from side to side, delivering supplies from the forest to the base, builders were hammering and sawing away; all while the leader sat in the center on a chair, rocking while he eyed Vynn approach the base. He was a slender male in his early twenties. spikey black hair covered his head, his left eye enshrouded in a black eyepatch. his right eye was a mysterious green color. a red scarf wrapped around his neck, though his face was revealed. He wore a black sleeveless coat as Vynn did, and black pants down to his knees, fancy silver armor covering his feet from the knees down to his toes. He normally wore his katana strapped to his side, as well as his favorite gold pistol in its holster, however both were layed out on a brown wooden table in front of him. Accompanying him at the table was his second in command Noah, a blind archer with short hair who wore black sunglasses all the time, as well as the sleeveless coat. Standing opposite Noah was Vrael, a large man with an enormous build who wore a sleeveless shirt with long black pants and gauntlets on both hands.
This was the start of the first ever Twilight town police force, the first brave group of men and women willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.Though there were times when Vynn questioned himself the need for a guard group in a peaceful city, despite this, he followed orders with excelling enthusiasm. As Vynn got within short distance, an arrow shot at him at incredible speeds. Vynn with the height of his reflexes moved, to his left and the arrow struck a tree shortly behind him. Noah smirked and stood to his feet, turning to Vynn saying, "Sharp as ever Vynn." A rustling was heard from the trees, and all of a sudden a figure was behind Vynn and held a knife to his throat. This was Lira, the only high-ranking female in the T.T.E.G, and an excellent stealth tactition. She had short brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a blue shirt and black pants, white armor covering her left arm.
"Still green though, what ever are we going to do with this little cutie Godrick?" she said playfully, pinching Vynn's cheek.
Vynn scowled and made a displeased groaning sound. Godrick eyed the boy for a second and chuckled.
"That's enough Lira, I don't want my adorable little protege to get to roughed up before any of the action starts."
Lira chuckled and pushed Vynn playfully forward, violently rubbing her hand through his hair before he came dout of range. Fixing his hair, Vynn approached the table, "Good to see you guys too." he said smiling.
Godrick chuckled and said, "Something on your mind kiddo? you looking for another butt whoopin?"
Vynn smiled, "i think your getting a bit too old to be swordfighting Rick.." Vynn trailed off as his thoughts trailed back to the events of the previous evening. Everyone was so happy and excited today, he didn't want to bring their day down with such a fearful tale...but he felt like they should know. Just then Vrael came up behind Vynn and put him in a full-nelson lock, laughing cheerfully, "I think maybe Vynny here met a lady friend, hes just shy...oh look hes blushing!"
Vynn grew red with rage and was about to burst, until then Godrick smiled calmly, which seemed to relax Vynn.
"Vrael leave him alone, theres obviously something wrong, and as Vynn's mentor and caretaker its best I know....isn't that about right Vynn?"
Vrael loosened his grip and hgave Vynn a powerful pat on the back. Vynn gave an annoyed look and said, "Well....what happened was-"
"HELP!! HELP! GODRICK!! ANYONE!" A cry suddenly came from behind Vynn. Everyone turned to see the source of all the rucus, to see the T.T.E.G's messenger boy Toby running towards them in sheer terror. Toby was a funny little boy who was slightly overweight and very, very tiny. He had a brown bag always around his waist that held both letters and packages. He had curly brown hair and black beany eyes. He came running to the table, heavily winded. " *huff huff* you guys have to help *huff huff* he said out of breath. Godrick got up from his seat and walked over to the boy
"Tobi, tell me everything that happened." Godrick seemed almost excited, though the concern was clear in his facial expression.
"They...they're everywhere! strange blue creatures are at the sandlot attacking the people....we have to help!!" Tobi finished. Godrick grew silent as a terrified chill went up Vynn's spine. "could they be the same ones as last night..." he thought to himself. Godrick remained silent for several seconds before an adventurous smirk grew across his face.
"You did good Toby...Vrael, Lira, Noah, with me...everyone else stay here and continue your work, we should be enough for this." He grabbed his shetahed katana and pistol and placed them around his waist. Noah and Vrael grabbed their Gear, and Lira came out and stood next to Godrick. The group stood in a formation and godrick turned around, "Vynn...your coming too, Guardsmen!! lets rock and roll" The group immedietly took off in the direction of the town. Vynn was taken back by the fact that he was allowed to go along, however quickly ran after the group in the direction of the sandlot.

 

The girl was strangely at ease as she explored the market district of the town. Since she didn't know quite what to look for or expect, she took her time and got herself accustomed to the new surroundings. The locals would occasionally look at her funny, and when a few of them saw that she noticed them, they offered sincere smiles. 'I wonder why I stick out,' she wondered as she perused the goods of a street vendor. Just then, she felt a tap on her shoulder, and she turned to see a very young boy with short blonde holding a bat made of what looked like blue foam "Why are you wearing that?" he asked brusquely, nodding to the red metal gauntlet on her left arm. "You're not part of the guard, are you?"
She frowned. Why would a place like this need a guard? Come to think of it, weapons might not be all that commonplace here. Carrying a weapon was almost expected back home, but the only thing she had seen so far resembling any kind of weaponry were bats similar to the one the boy had, and only the kids seemed to have those. "No," she said politely, smiling. "I'm just visiting." The boy looked her over as if he didn't quite believe her. "Ok," he replied. "Don't cause any trouble while you're here." He turned to leave, with an unmistakable air that said he thought he owned the town. Isleen chuckled at his ridiculousness, stopped, then called back to him. "Wait! What's this town called?"
He turned back to her, a sneer on his face. "You walked into this place without finding out the name? Geez, you really are fresh off the train. This is Twilight Town." With that, he left.
What a fitting name, she thought, going back to her browsing. Just then, the sound of screaming filled the air. She turned toward the sound instinctively. Many people were running away from a clearing with terrified expressions on their faces. One of the same kind creatures who had attacked her before chased after them. Also on instinct, she flexed the fingers of her left hand, lightly running the sharp metal tips over the back of her other hand to make sure they were sharp. She knew she would enjoy this. The spark of anticipation made her grin. She wasn't so defenseless this time around.
With that, she ran toward the area the people were running from.

 

Ria heard a cry of terror from the area next to her, which seemed to be a sand lot. Town citizens were running from the area like crazy. Screaming, some were bleeding, some were just limping.
"Hey wait!" she cried after a bleeding citizen. "I can heal you!" He continued to run away from her. He didn't even seem to notice her, just the look of fear in his eyes. Just then something made the ground shake. It was big and it was definitly coming from the sandlot. She made her way through the stampede of people quickly to the sandlot.
As the last of the people made it past the Sandlot, Ria was making it in. There it was. A giant blue creature. Massive arms as tall as a building were at it's sides. Only the waist up of the monster was visible because it's lower half was fuzed into the ground. It had slanted red eyes and large gagged ears that streched behind it's head and down it's back.
"My doll!" cried a little girl from behind Ria. Ria quickly turned and watched as a little girl ran past her to get the moogle doll right in front of the beast.
"No! Don't! Come back!" Ria yelled after the girl. Ria ran as fast as she could. The beast didn't like that people were coming at it. It brought up its giant arm, high into the air, getting ready to slam it onto the little girl.
The girl reached the moogle doll and picked it up. She then looked above her and winced as the arm came down.
Ria caught up to her just in time. She pulled out her sword from behind her and brought it up above her head to try and keep the monsters arm from crushing the girl. The force was temendous. Sending a shock through out her body. She winced as the force brought her down to her knees, her blade still above her, the monsters arm still on the sword.
"Get out of here," She said to the girl as calmly and unshaky as she could, which didn't happen. The girl nodded and ran off. The monster screamed and then more blue creatures appeared, not the same kind though. These were more like the kind she killed before. Easy and small, but there were many and she can't take them all out. She wasn't that strong. She needed help.

 

ooc: I'm playing 5 different characters right now so bare with me xD

Vynn look with horror upon the massive creature around. Them. Various blue creatures (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2009/360/0/f/The_Unversed_by_PaokaiWyvern.jpg) swarmed around the larger one. Various blue tentacles came from the larger one, and whenever it roared, more blue creatures seemed to appear. Vynn now realized that he did not dream falling, or going to that strange place, it was all reality. Scowling with anger, Vynn gripped his anger and prepared to jump when godrick interupted,
"So...its finally time eh? i figured i'd have a little more time to prepare than this." everyone looked at Godrick with curiosity and fear. They were atop a building with a flat surface that looked down at the sandlot. They were standing in a row, Godrick kneeling down to get a better look.
"Theres no doubt about it..." he said, "these are the same creatures that devoured my world...hehe..i've been itching for some payback." He made a devious smirk, and drew his katana with his right hand, resting the dull side on his right shoulder, gun held in his left hand down to his side. "Noah, send off a distress flare, we'll need some backup to tend to the wounded. Lira, take care of the little ones, they're weak don't be afraid. Vrael, you and I will take out big daddy over there." Vrael smirked and punche dhis fists together, the gauntlets causing a loud metal thud.
"Lira..." he looked at her and they both nodded. "got it" he grabbed her coat with both hands by the back and spun around, releasing her in a fast toss towards the blue creatures. She spun around gracefully in the air, her daggers out, cutting the blue things as she landed perfectly on the ground. Noah took a special arrow from his quiver and fired it into the air, within a few seconds a bright red flare shot off. Godrick turned to Vynn and pointed to a strange girl over by the entrance fighting some of the creatures, "Vynn get her the hell out of here, Noah help out Lira. lets move!" Godrick and Vrael both jumped down, and headed towards the large creature. noah quickly followed and shot a volley of arrows towards a group of blue creatures, trying to clear the way for Vynn.
"comeon kid i cant do this alone!" noah yelled, however Vynn was petrified. Vrael approached the creature and delivered a mighty ounch to its leg. A shockwave was sent throughout the creature that caused it to roar. suddenly a tentacle swooped down in an attempt to crush Vrael. Vrael made a yell and quickly rolled to the side. Godrick then jumped on the tentacle right before it rose back up again, and started to run along it heading towards the creatures face. Various blue creatures began to rise from the tentacle, though Godrick quickly slashed them away with his katana, smirking and laughing menacingly. His pistol began to glow a bright yellow and he jumped right as the tentacle slammed at the ground again. He was now in front of the creatures face as he pulled the gun up right in front of its eye, "Thundaga!" he echoed and the gun fired a brilliant beam of magic that shot into the creatures eye, causing it to throb and roar. Its various tentacles shot up and aimed for Godrick, who wa snosediving towards the ground while swinging his sword, hacking away at the tentacles. one stray tentacle smacked him towards the side right ebfore he hit the ground. He rolled back upright and grinned,
"Not bad beasty, not bad." He regained his pose and rushed back into battle. Lira was doing various acrobatics while stepping on and kicking the creatures, while noah fired arrows carefully with precise aim. Vynn watched as this goes on in sheer amazement, "They're fantastic....all of them.." He then came to the realization that he had a job to do, and bravely jumped down from the building, various small blue creaturs appearing in front of him. "you guys again...alright...bring it!" he said allowed and quickly dashed towards them, his hands instinctively grabbing his daggers, holding them backwards and slashing away as he charged. The creatures fell in front of him, though 2 jumped at him from the side. right ebfor ehe could react, 2 arrows peirced and destroyed the beasts. Nodding he regained his composure and headed towards the girl. Approaching her, he slashed two creatures away that jumped at him, and began to battle a group of them that surrounded Vyn and the girl. "I thought i told you to stay out of trouble, what the hell are you doing, get out of here!"

 

Ria and the boy were standing back to back. The group surrounding them, growing larger and larger by the second. "What the hell am i doing? I'm trying to protect this town's people!" She said. She then brought up her sword with her left hand and pointed it infront of her. She reached around with her right arm to her holster and and gripped the handle of her gun. She then brought it out and with a stong flick of the wrist the gun unfolded out. She pointed it to her right, eyeing each of the the blue creatures. "You're not the only one that cares about saving people."

 

Vynn scowled as the girl spoke while slashing away at the blue creatures, "Save this town's people? Thats the Guardmen's job not yours stupid, your only getting in the way now get out of here before you're killed." Vynn watched as 12 armored guardsmen arriced in 2 rows of 6, each with a shield and sword fighting off the creatures. They seemed to be winning at this point, and for a moment Vynn felt victorious, until another group of creatures appeared around the two of them. "whats your name anyways?"
