Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

​

Andrew could not help but smile at Ralph. Someone had to show X what was up. For now he was not really paying attention to X. He turned back to Glen and steel. "I do not like this whole going with just two people thing something just does not feel right. One thing for sure is it does not seem like we have much choice." He turned to the three gate that where there, Sugar Rush, Fix It Felix Jr, and Hero's Duty. Picking one at random he walked to the gate and walked trough it.

The first thing he notice was that there did not seem to be much of anything but a tall bulling and not much else. There did not seem to be much to do here at all.

 

As the others were all clearing out, Steel stared off in the direction that Ralph had gone. He was curious about the man, and it seemed that they had nowhere else to go anyway.

"Well then, it was nice seeing the others again, but it's time to get back to business... or was this all just a game?" Shaking his head, Steel turned back to his newest partner. "It seems everyone else is already set on their destination, so I guess you and I will be checking out that "Hero's Duty" game. Though I admit I would have wanted to head in after Ralph anyway." He spent the briefest of moment giving his head a scratch before turning back towards their destination. "'Not a foe shall stand before us' yes? We have limited time, so let's get this done as only we can. Sound good to you 'partner'?" As the two made their way to "Hero's Duty" Steel once again felt that he would enjoy this new partner ship.

((Several Friendship levels rose! (To be adjusted later)))
-----------------------------------------------

It seemed that the two had walked in on Ralph joining with a battalion of soldiers. It was probably best if they tried to blend in for now. Though, where would they get a set of that armor? Should they try a different approach?

 

Beuce looked around at the city. It was an odd thing to see. It was clearly nighttime. In fact, there didn't really seem to be a sky. Yet, the entire city before them was brilliant lit up with neon lights, making something of an ambient blue glow around the entire place. In addition, this seemed to be one of the worlds where their attire changed simply from entering. Beuce's outfit was fairly similar, but had a darker color scheme, rimmed with similar neon blue lights that were found around the city. "I can't honestly say. It looks like some kind of techno city...If we're going to find the password, i guess we can't do much but explore." ​

 

Kaida's silence for the most part had been trying to figure out exactly what was going on. The world splitting seemed weird compared to the other ones, and after she felt herself being led into one of the worlds by Luna at that point anyway. She hadn't fully seen what group went in there before her so she didn't know who the other 2/4 was, but she knew she'd figure it out soon anyway. Besides, better to just get started than wait around for her to mentally process everything.

​

Upon entering the world, Kaida immediately realized her attire changed just by walking on in. She moved her hands up to her head to feel the helmet, since it immediately felt heavier to her and she wanted to adjust it, and the neon glow to the outfit she thought was pretty cool. She heard Luna ask a question, and heard a response from Beuce, which caused her to look up and see Beuce were with her. Even if she wasn't sure what her relation with Ignis was yet, she was content that Beuce was at least there, since she knew he had her back at least.

Kaida thought about Luna's question and said, "Well, they did mention us being in a... game of some kind before? So maybe we're in a computer? That's my best guess. Now, what exactly is going on inside the computer I have no idea..." Kaida looked around at the neon-city like environment and commented, "Seems very empty for a city though, and everything just seems so... dreary... oh no are we in some sort of dystopian future genre?" ​

 

​

As Stratos had tried to introduce himself to the man, he then felt a hand on his shoulder and looked over. With a pleasant look of surprise he saw that both Aislinn and Kel had followed them into the world to help them out. "Hey guys, nice to have you with us. We were just introducing ourselves to this guy." He pointed to Tron. Hikaru then introduced him to the other two as well, and managed to convince Tron that they too were Security Programs. Stratos wasn't quite sure what being one entailed, but hopefully it fell in line with pretty much everything they'd normally do anyway. Tron went on to describe how he needed people to help him end this man, Sark's, reign over wherever it was they actually were. When Stratos looked at the light cycles and was proposed to join a team to fight against Sark by doing such, the boy gulped briefly at the idea of going on one of those. His track record with using vehicles wasn't that great, and dying if he crashed didn't seem like something he wanted to get involved in. "I'm not so sure this is a good idea," he said to Hikaru. Though, this was the only way they were going to get anywhere, and so Stratos followed with, "but I think we don't have much of a choice in the matter. So, you can count me in Tron."

 

​

Ignis looked around at where she had ended up. This place seemed a lot like Shibuya, with the tall buildings and everything, but it was very different, with lights all over the place and a futuristic look. Then she looked down and noticed her clothes had changed slightly too. Her dress had disappeared and replaced with a black outfit: pants, shoes, tank top, and gloves, all laces with a blue lining. Apparently this world really liked the dark and dreary with a hint of blue.

Beuce wondered where they would go and Kaida wondered what kind of world they were in. Pointing out the obvious that they were in a game world, Ignis didn't really care much past that point. But Kaida was right about one thing, the streets were pretty empty of people. It was almost an unsettling feeling, like they were in an abandoned world.

"Can't say I know for sure where we are, but I can say I don't have a good vibe about it. Maybe we should look around and see if we can't find any people? Seems like there should at least be someone we can talk to."

 

​

Ananta blinked at the accusation. "Glitches? No, no. We are certainly not glitches." Ananta huffed. "We just...uh, got lost is all." Ananta said, trying to make this seem a little less odd for the girls.

 

​

The sight of the cyclist being derezzed before them was more than enough to affirm the risks of partaking, but if they wanted to get the access code they needed to get to Sark and to do they, winning in the arena was the quick and only way for them to do so. It was concerning with the fact that the only vehicle that he's had experience with was his glider and that functioned fairly different compared to the cycles. Geez they hadn’t even been here all that long and their lives were already at risk. This new GM really wasn't holding anything back on them. “If my partner's up for it, then so am I.” Not that he would've been opposed it anyway.

 

​

Andrew turned when X said 'Not much detail, is it?' He said nothing to this. A frantic handyman seemed to be coming up to them. 'Oh no, this is bad! So very very bad!' He was not sure what was bad but he was sure he would find out. 'Excuse me friends... I'm looking for my co-worker; Ralph. He's about this tall!' The Ralph from before? 'Kind of a smelly guy, mean attitude, giant fists... I don't suppose you've seen him anywhere have you? He's the game's bad guy and we can't really start the game without him, see? If he doesn't wreck, I can't fix!'

"Yea some guy by the name of Ralph had on red-and-orange shirt with two yellow buttons up, and brown single-strapped overalls. He had fists were the size of cinder blocks. That gut right?" He continued. "He went on about winning a medal and headed towards some place called Hero's Duty." He did not think it would hurt to help this man. If he had to guess the person must be Fix-It-Felix Jr.

 

​

As the others departed for their own goals and Steel mentioned Hero's Duty, Glen nodded. "Hero's Duty sounds like one hell of a place, should be interesting" he stated, hiding his enthusiasm a little poorly. The name of the game sounded pretty great, and hey maybe they could get a medal if they did well too! Not much later, he hurried through the entrance and into the game.

No sooner had he entered than he and Steel were immediately thrust into what seemed to be a warzone, or at least the beginnings of one. There didn't seem to be too much actual war going on there right then, but from the looks of the armoured soldiers standing in a group and focusing intensely on the one that stood before them there was about to be something big going on. His eyes stopped on one of the soldiers that seemed to be a bit bulkier than the others, and he recognised that one as Ralph. Nudging Steel discreetly, he pointed at the other suits of armour for a moment.

"Ralph said he doesn't know anything about the portal, but he at least knows about these other games. Maybe he knows someone who can point us in the right direction? I bet if we help him get that medal he was after he'll do everything he can. We should get in those suits of armour so we don't stand out from the others and see what's going on, then keep going after our goal" the keyslinger whispered before making a move to proceed. Moving very quietly, he made his way over to one of the battlesuits and slipped one on. It was a little big for him, but he could make it work. Probably. Looking over back at his partner, he motioned for him to come over. Thankfully, Steel and himself both seemed to be quick on their feet, as he'd seen Steel in battle a few times, so Glen had no doubt his friend would be able to get over without an issue. Turning his attention back to the group of soldiers, he slipped in as stealthily as he could amongst the soldiers. Maybe they'd get lucky and arrive in the middle of a briefing, but seriously who what were the odds of that?

 

Glitches. To be honest, they didn't belong there, so maybe "glitches" wasn't an accusation too far from the truth. However, the accusers had no business knowing that. Base let his teammate speak, and tried to follow up.

"We were on our way to the big... thing. The word escapes me right now. An event, of some kind, somewhere, that we have to go to or else we'll miss it."

It was not a good lie, by any means, but he hoped it would suffice to convince two children; or at least, what appeared to be children.

OOC:
I apologize for the delay. I have to clear off my desk before writing, and it's been a busy week.

EDIT 2.0: Thanks to a late tax refund, I now have a PC. Turning into an adult over the course of SOS has had its highs and its lows.

 

Kross had not been seen for a while. When was the last time he'd seen him? Base wracked his brain. Wasn't he right there with Kross in the Wastelands? Why was he marching up in candied armor along with someone else he didn't quite recognize... but they did look strangely familiar.

"I'm doubting this is going to be a happy reunion, going solely by the looks of things," he mentioned to Ananta. He didn't summon his Keyblade just yet, but he was ready to; if the two made themselves known to be a real threat, then he'd be sure to greet a fellow apprentice of Yen Sid with a warm welcome.

 

Kaida hadn't expected to be so quickly arrested when they were identified as foreign entities. Usually in a world, no one knew they weren't from there, they never found out and their leaving usually happened without conflict. But these people expected it, perhaps it was because of the inter-connectivity to the other games? She didn't know but she tried struggling a little bit against them when they were arrested. When they were pushed into the coliseum, Kaida looked around at the scene a little bit confused as she listened to the announcer speak. Something about a Turbo situation? Before booing ensued and objects were thrown and she ducked her head to dodge a couple. Watching a flying shoe head towards Beuce and hit him and she hoped it didn't hurt too bad

She listened to this man's challenge, of course they were warned in advance about them, well at the very least it would make this more streamlined if it was an offer. And hey, she was willing to play a game against opponents for the password, she figured she could take 'em. That was when they revealed the opponents and her heart sank. She didn't really know one of them, she vaguely recognized Anora, but Cat and Etrius she definitely remembered and she stepped a bit closer and she said, "Cat! Etrius! Is that you?!" she hoped it was some sort of illusion or trick to make them feel worse about who they were fighting, but she hadn't seen them in so long that she hadn't the slightest idea if they were illusions or the real thing. ​

 

Steel was quick to join Glen in donning a set of the armor and jumping into line alongside Ralph. Though, he wasn't quite as quick... he had to make some adjustments for his tail and...

Wait... how was his muzzle fitting into this helmet?

A mystery he chose to save for later.

The analysis of new information that had been received from the commander would also have to wait; for now he had to dodge gun fire.

Being thrown into a war zone hadn't been too much of a surprise: a lot of games involved combat. That was simply how it was. Having to face two entities that had previously been documented as allies was quite a bit more shocking. Still; he doubted they were the real ones. In the end, it just meant he would be justified in punching the lights out of Karina. Dodging the shots as best as he could, Steel sent a few of his own towards Karina as he made his way towards Leo. Hopefully he could prevent her from finishing her reload. Once he made it closer to Leo, he ducked towards the other's torso and made a sharp jab to the stomach. With "Leo" doubled over in pain, he delivered a quick kick to the face.

He briefly wondered what kind of strength these beings had though, and how long it would take for them to go down.

 

​

Kel took a few moments to examine the rod that Tron had handed them. Had it not been for the demonstration that Tron had provided for them, he likely wouldn't continued to look at it with a confused look on his face until accidentally getting it to work. A mental note was made before his attention turned towards Sark's team...and the faces that they wore. Xara, Anora, D'daear, and Shapur, all of which he knew though only in three out of the four did his knowledge extent past simply their names. What made all this even more perplexing was the appearance of Xara, who had just been with them for the previous trial and despite not being on the list of partners, was now playing for the other team. "This isn't going to be good."

 

​

Andrew looked at the man that was before him, the one he thought was Fix-It-Felix Jr. He went on about Ralph's going Turbo. He was not sure what that was all about. He was sure he was going to find out tho. 'Oh no no, this is very bad! Wait... you don't know who Turbo is do you?! Well, back when the Arcade first opened, TurboTime was by far the most popular game... ..and Turbo... Well, he loved the attention.. So, when Rogue Blasters got plugged in and stole Turbo's thunder... boy, was he jealous! So jealous that he abandoned his game and tried to take over the new one. Turbo ended up putting both games and himself out of order.. ..for good. And that's why I have to get Ralph home or the same thing's gonna happen to my game. Without him, no one's gonna wreck the building!' "We? Wait can we just go from game to game?" He thought that once he picked a game he was stuck there until something happened or he did something. This was a good thing. Well the best best was to go in to Hero's Duty and find Glen and steel and then find Ralph. "Well I guess we should go into Hero's Duty and find some friends of mine. Then we can find Ralph" That was when X pointed out something on the building. Someone seemed to be smashing the windows of the building. Looking up he saw two people that he did not know. Aden and Gwendolyn.

The girl he thought he might have saw before and talked to once or twice be he could no be sure. That was when X asked him 'Friends of yours?' "No I do not really know many people. That girl looks like I have seen her before but I cant be sure." He turned to Fix-It-Felix Jr. "Any ideas?"
