Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

Luna saw the light shine from the keyhole and Xero's keyblade. She had a worrying expression on her face. I can't shake that feeling that Vanitas is still here. Should I go look for him or stay with the group? Maybe i should look for him so I can shake that feeling away and do one last sweep to check no unversed are in sight. With that, Luna placed her satchel down gently and put a seal on it quietly. She then carefully stepped back and headed toward the door on the right side of the staircase. She opened the door and had begun to look for Vanitas. "I'm gonna get my answers if it breaks every bone in my body."

 

Eon had warped after Glen managed to secure the keyhole. He was surrounded by other keyblade wielders, none of which he had met before. These must have been the people that also signed up to help the kidnapped students. Eon felt nervous around them all. It was clear that with some of the aggression on their faces, this boy in front of them with black hair was of a different allegiance. Something about him seemed dark and unsettling. His aura felt similar to Eon when he goes on his attacks. Was this boy able to control the power of darkness within? Didn't matter. He needed to be stopped.

 

Glen was very, very confused. A few moments earlier, he'd been standing at the clock tower in baker street, and now he was in a hall surrounded by others with their keyblades? He didn't know anyone there all that well, but from the cocky look of the one wielder that was standing seperate to the others, he suspected that something was amiss there. He didn't make any moves to move towards anyone there, although he did summon his keyblade, Elementary, just to be prepared.

 

Raisor stood across from the masked boy, with his keyblade in his hand. He didn't know what was really going on, but all he needed to know was that he was in Baker Street one minute, closing the keyhole in that world, and the next he was inside a giant hall, of what seemed to be part of a castle. He noticed that some of the other keyblade wielders were there as well. He had brought out his keyblade in readiness for a fight that might occur, seeing as their enemy was right in front of them, with his keyblade in hand as well. In truth he was hoping for a fight, so they might be able to get a few answers about what was going on.

 

It was all in a blink of the eye. One second he was in that dingy room, the next he was staring a masked boy in a hula skirt with a rather dark color pallet. He was towards the middle, crowded by over a dozen other Keyblade wielders in a capacious royal ballroom. On instinct, he motioned for his Keyblade, and in a flash, it was in his hand. Something about it though, didn't feel right. Knowing he'd have to be swift in his actions, Base dug into his messenger bag at his side and searched in the bag with focus on one particular item; a key chain token that looked like a clock connected to a small red chain with white arrows pointing up to the clip. He withdrew the Kingdom Key in a flash of light and followed a similar motion as before, but this time unclipping the small tri-circled token keychain from one of his blue jean belt loops and attaching the red chain to the same spot before performing the swiping motion that brought the Ferris Gear into play. He admired the new blade with a particularly discerning taste.

"Hey, look at that Yen Sid; I finally earned one for myself." He chuckled, greatly liking the new weapon. "Told you I could." He wasn't speaking to anyone in attendance, but rather much just speaking out loud in a quiet fashion. He took a look at the others. Many of them were girls, and he had up til then only seen one girl wield a Keyblade, so he wondered if some of them were. There was a girl with long pink hair and big bambi eyes, a tomboyish looking girl with a sort of quartz or some other mineral pendent necklace, a sultry young girl with black hair and... red eyes(?), a misty eyed girl with pale skin and white hair to match, and a rather intimidating looking specimen with black hair in a sort of pigtail fashion. For the males he had yet to have seen before, there was a varying age group. There was a mysterious looking young man with a rad odd appearance coupled with a cape, a very pale young man with yellow eyes and reddish, blackish hair, a boy with spiky blue hair, two young men with brown hair (Except one's was darker and the other had more vibrantly blue eyes), young was very young (Maybe around 11 or 12) with white hair and seemed tough skinned despite his size, and the last boy had noticeably red hair with a headband around the hairline. He glanced over at the girl with the pink hair.

"Umm... Hi. I'm Sebastian Noble. Not sure if now is the time for formalities, but I do know the last time I wound up somewhere with new people who I just suddenly appeared in front of, it took awhile to learn names. The one in the blue suit is Krowley, the white haired guy over there is Beuce, and the older gentleman with the Viking aura is Shapur. You are?"

OOC: In order of being mentioned: girls: Flora, Ananta, Xero, Luna, and Karina; boys: Steel, Etrius, Kel, Aden, Glen, Eon, and Raisor. Also, I know this isn't an EXP Writer moment.

 

Ananta looked at everyone. There were new faces here that she hadn't gotten to meet yet. One of them did introduce himself. Sebastian Noble. He didn't look very noble to her. Either way, she looked on and saw the great darkness she had felt before. Except, this time, it was stronger and scarier. Scarier than the guy next to her with the mask thing over his mouth. Picking up a rock and chucking it at Vanitas, she quickly hid behind Steel. Ananta has a deathwish.

 

The sudden appearance of all sudden surprised Kel a bit. It was clear that the numbers of wielder had increased yet again just by the fact that they severely out numbered Vanitas. Though when it came to darkness, one man come equal an entire army. More than enough reason not to lower there guard. Still, this was good enough. So summoning his keyblade, he held it aimed towards the ground as he waited for something to happen.

 

"'bout friggin time. I was getting tired of limbo." Beuce said, cracking his neck and looking around. It was quite the crowd. Beuce, being Beuce, naturally looked at the females first. "Let's see here...A dude IRL, Dat 25 strength, eh, kinda hot. Th- ...wait...that's a dude! Why the hell is he wearing a skirt?" Beuce said confused, indicating Vanitas' choice of clothing. The next thing he did was break the fourth wall. "Oh hey, new color. Kinda reminds me of Rain." He then turned to Base. Not the character, the creator of the character. "Say or think anything off color about her, and i will-" this threat was considered to graphic, violent, and swear filled to be shown on KHV, and had to be censored. "On a sandwich!!!" and finally, he said something mildly relevant to what was going on. "Anyways, i guess it's all of us versus him then? That seems a bit uneven. I mean, you know, unless he summons some bosses or something. Bad guys generally tend to do that."

 

Flora smiled at the guy who came over and introduced himself. "Hi! I'm Flora!" She motioned for her Keyblade, and it appeared. There were a lot more people there, but it didn't matter to her. Power in numbers, right? That was her guess anyway since it looked like they were in for a fight.

 

"I admire your courage." Steel said to Ananta. He was half joking and half serious. While she had just hidden behind him, she had also just thrown a rock at a being likely far more powerful than her. He sighed and closed his eyes; there were so many things he could say right now. He could say to the Fairy Godmother: "Thank you for the vote of confidence!" Or he could address the keyblade wielders who were reacting to Vanitas' darkness by saying: "What am I, Chopped liver?" He could even go so far as to walk up to Karina, a person he had only ever seen, and say: "What? No Hug?" But there was only one thing he really wanted to say. He zipped up his hoodie as he was feeling colder than usual. Then he threw back his cape to straighten it out and began playing with the claws of his metal gloves as he directly addressed Vanitas. "You are aware, that because you brought your monsters here to seek the source of the jealousy, the energy has been intensified and this beautiful place smells like a garbage dump that decided to bathe in toxic waste and sewage and was sprayed by a skunk shortly prior to being covered in rotten meat by a random passerby who spilled his trash in the trash heap? His gloves made a clinking sound as they connected multiple times in a rhythm that only he seemed to know. He awaited Vanitas' response.

 

Looking up at Steel and listening to his remark towards Vanitas, she sniffed the air. It did indeed smell just as bad as he had described. Maybe even worse. Regardless of that, she got out of hiding and stood next to Steel. Even if this Vanitas guy smelled rotten and had the darkest aura around, he still needed to be fought and dealt with. She can't just leave him alone with the hope that he will eventually go away. That is a thing that most likely would never happen. Looking around at all the newcomers, she saw them take a defensive stance with their keyblades. Ananta did the same, not wanting to be left behind, and looked sideways at Steel. "You look pretty scary, but I ain't gonna judge you based on that. We can't possibly be enemies, so what's your name?" she asked him.

 

"Thanks for that." Steel said in response to Ananta. "It's Steel, and you are?" As he said these things he continued to click his fingers together in such a way that likely annoyed someone. He was awaiting Vanitas' response still. He cared about little else. If Vanitas had chosen a place with a negative emotion like Evil, Steel would not have really cared. Evil you see, was like junk food or candy; It tasted marvelous but it was bad for his fangs. He needed to take good care of those of course, but he could still gorge himself every now and then. Fear was okay too; in fact it was healthy. Jealousy on the other hand was just gross. PERIOD. Taste was disgusting AND it was bad for you. He didn't normally mind too much, but as he had said previously; Vanitas had amplified the energy (and the smell) to grotesque levels. In a place of such exquisite beauty as well. He would pay.

 

Raisor watched as a girl ran down the stairs in a hurry, as the bell in the castle began to ring. It had reached midnight, and something was going on. He didn't know what, be as soon as he looked looked back at Vanitus, a chill went down his spine. He had a terrible feeling something was going to happen.

And just as he thought it, there was a loud scream coming from inside the castle. He could tell that something wasn't right. There was a girl running away at midnight, the masked boy seeming to give off a bad vibe, and now a scream coming behind them. He was worried that they were going to have to split up, even though they had an enemy right in front of them. Just as he thought it, the boy flew out, leaving behind the words "Save the people, or save the girl." Raisor had wished his feelings were wrong, but of course they weren't The boy flew off outside the building, probably after the girl.

Just as he was thinking about what the do, one of the other keyblade wielders started to talk. He told a group of them to go with him after whatever was behind them, causing the people to scream, while the rest of them went after the boy. He left, leaving the rest of them behind. Raisor wasn't sure he was ready to leave them alone fighting an enemy, but he was sure they all could take care of themselves, especially in a group, so he summoned his own keyblade glider and hoped on.
"Glen, Eon, Aden, I don't know if you're going to chase after him or not, but make up your minds soon, because this is not a time to think. Right now is the time to act, even if it means jumping into a danger more than you can handle."
He left them with those words, and flew after the masked boy, hoping he could stop him before he reached the girl that ran away.

 

From the looks of things it seemed like Vanitas was finally ready to fight. Good, now they could get right to it. Though the ringing bell kinda ruined the whole light vs dark moment that was about to happen. When he saw Cinderella come down from the steps in a hurry and the look Vanitas gave her, he could only assume that it wasn't good. The screams the followed only help concerns. Only a dark would pull something like this.

As Vanitas ran off and Krowley assigned teams, Kel was fine until someone ran off. Normally he wouldn't think much of it, but his more recent experience showed how aggressive someone could get when it came to Vanitas. The look she had on her face was more than enough proof. "Sorry Krowley, but if she's going after Vanitas, she'll need some help." Before going off, he turned to Steel. "I'm sure you can handle this, just try not to faint this time." With that, he turned towards the door and ran after Vanitas.

 

Glen still wasn't sure who the masked boy was, or who half the people in the room were, but he quickly made up his mind upon hearing Raisor's words. "Just leave it to me, I'll keep her safe!" he declared. He ran outside and kept running a short distance before he realized that he wasn't going to keep up at that rate. "Well, haven't had good experiences with you lately, please work" Glen said quietly to himself. He tossed his keyblade into the air, and leaped up after it, landing on the glider shakily but the point was he did land on it. He took off after Raisor, wondering whether or not he'd made the right decision and whether the other people that he didn't know where strong enough to protect people back in the hall.
