Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

​

Luna grabbed her disc and ran from the direct fighting going on. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Beuce finally joined in the fight. Looking at the score board, Anora had been leading ahead by four points. Before she could blink, Anora's score went down bit by bit, she looked over to Anora and saw Beuce right on top of her. Luna palm faced and sighed before seeing a disc come flying at her. Luna lifted her disc as if to deflect the disc. She flung it upwards before jumping up and taking ahold of the enemy disc. She landed and her eyes darted over to Etrius. "Again? Really?..........Alright, have it your way." Luna ran around Data Etrius and swung the two in opposite directions. Before Etrius could look Luna's disc had grazed his back while his disc grazed his left leg. Running to grab her disc, Luna ran past Etrius and slid to collect her disc from the ground. She immediately stood up and deflected another disc attack from Anora. "Not dealing with you right now!!" Luna continued to deflect throw after throw form Anora.

After Stratos gave a suggestion, it became apparent that there was a much bigger issue that they'd have to deal with then just Team SARK in order to win. Stratos hadn't realized that Ailsinn had had some kind of emotional troubles in actually riding the light cycle in the last match, and he couldn't really blame her. Now knowing about her past, he couldn't really say he was comfortable with letting her in the next round and nodded as Kel affirmed that she wasn't being insolent or anything in that regards. As it turned out, though, they weren't able to swap in Tron for her, forcing her into this situation. While she was still uncomfortable with the mission, Stratos nodded with Kel saying, "yeah, don't force yourself to hard. After all, you have three other team members here to help you through this."

"Sweetheart?" Base asked, dodging Ananata's apparent amor. "Can't say I did, but it looks like neither of are very happy to see us either way."

CLUNK! Base battered Kross over the head, folding him like a crumbling cookie. With one foe unconcious for the moment, that was at least one step in the right direction. However, with her ally down, the Flora look-alike went into Beast mode. It took everything Base had to give to keep the beserker's rage at bay, but even that wasn't much as much of him had been spent fighting the two before.

He couldn't even remark with a snarky comment. Even motion was dedicated to blocking every swift strike from his attacker and having no window to retaliate.

"Assist!" he managed at last to call out for aid from Ananata. "Please!"

 

​

Ananta saw Base's predicament and ran over, sliding into action with a blocked swing from the candied Flora. "Don't worry, this flower smells sweet, but she's rotten to the core." Ananta said, shoving Flora off. She then went into a tirade of swinging and blocking strikes. This continued for at least ten more minutes before Ananta finally struck Flora in the chest. She saw cracks begin to form as her keyblade struck Flora's chest. Flora stumbled backwards and stared at Ananta.

Ananta took her keyblade and stabbed into the crack. She then smirked as she felt magic course through her body. "Fire!" Ananta called out, watching Flora start to melt and goo down to the ground. Ananta shook her keyblade and sent it away.

"That's that." she said, turning and offering a hand to Base.

Andrew stood around when a large beeping sound was made. He looked around to see if he could find the source,but was unable to find it. Gwendolyn and Aden then froze in mid-air and were digitized out of the game. A flash of blue light and the two of them vanished. X then went on about Victory. He looked at X know he did not do much to help. Felix then asked, 'What in the world were those two doing?' "Well it seemed like they were just wasting our time." He knew full well that they had a time limit. That was when X said, 'They're gone and so are we. Come, blondie.' He was getting a little angry at X at this point. "My name is Andrew Jacob Canvasback AJ not blondie." He was ready to go so did not bush the issue. That was when Felix said that they could not go. 'No I mean, the game's starting! And without Ralph here to wreck the building, the game can't continue!'

That was when Felix said, 'know this isn't your game, but do you think, you and your friend could wreck the building for this game? Afterwords, I have to find Ralph and bring him home!' Well this did not make much sense they just spent the last who knew how long keeping some programs from wrecking the game and now Felix wanted them to wreck the game. He then notice that X was gone. X had already begun wrecking the building. The hooded person did not waste any time. He turned to Felix and then looked up at the building. "Are you sure about wrecking the building? It does not seem right. What about the people inside? They might get hurt?" He knew this was a game but that did not mean that the people could not get hurt.

Ignis watched as Beuce took hits out on most of the enemies, and wondered if maybe he didn't have anger issues; especially when he decided to tear up Anora and take away all of her points. It didn't exactly seem fair how they had been fighting so much and then Beuce just managed to get all those points while they were struggling to keep theirs, but she was going to keep that to herself. Though she wasn't going to lie and say her competitive nature wasn't slightly annoyed. During that time, Cat seemed to have taken another interest in Ignis, because as she turned her head sideways, she watched as a disk flew straight at her.

Ignis didn't have any time to react, so she instinctively put up her arms in a defensive stance, forgetting about blocking with the disk. The disk hit Ignis in the arm, and immediately as it did, she threw her arm to the side to toss it away. It left a pretty big gash on her arm, but nothing that wouldn't heal. Unfortunately, this meant that Ignis was down another point, while Cat gained one. Ignis wasn't going to let that go, that was for sure. She decided to repay Cat for the little gift she gave.

Ignis ran after Cat's disk as it flew away then jumped and put her arm through the middle. She spun her arm to get momentum and then threw the disk back at Cat, using her own weapon against her. Cat dodged out of the way, but Ignis had given a little gift back to her. She tossed her disk right after throwing Cat's, so it was hidden behind the first, and landed a nice hit on Cat as it landed. Ignis ran up to her target and caught the disk midair, and tossed it back at Cat as she reeled from the first attack, and landed a second strike.

IGNIS -1 POINT, +2 POINTS
CAT +1 POINT, - 2 POINTS

With only two minutes left on the clock, Luna continued to block attack after attack from Etrius and Eon. Enough was enough, she deflected Eon's disc back toward him, grazing his right lower thigh. Taking this opportunity, Luna ran off but not before getting grazed at her left side. Not letting the hit get the best of her, she tossed her disc towards Eon's back, landing the hit while he was still down. Looking back at the clock, she had less than a minute to gain or lose more points. Luna continued running tossing her disc at a stunned Cat, landing the hit at her right arm while Etrius took another shot at her from behind. 20 seconds, 10 seconds, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Luna stopped in her tracks as the clock had stopped its countdown. She placed her disc behind her back in its original position. Looking to the others, Luna nodded to each person on her team. "I think it's safe to say we won. Don't you think?" Luna let out a sigh of relief after such a fierce battle.

It was uncomfortable being made to stand against his former allies. Each one of which he had fond memories of for the most part. At the very least the few times that he did interact with them were good as opposed to being something that he didn't want to recall. This was something that he had to do though, this was a life or death situation for them. Hikaru's words did provide some relief to him.

Copies were just copies and cared not for them. The announcer suddenly spoke, signaling the start of their race to begin. At the end of the countdown, Kel materialized his light cycle and set off.

Stratos didn't have the same kind of reservations that both Kel and Hikaru more than likely had when dealing with the people before him. After all, the only two of the four he had met before was Xara and D'daear, and even those were more of a passing greeting then anything else. The other two he didn't even recognize, let alone know. Yet still, they had the faces of real people, and people that had apparently aided both Hikaru and Kel in missions that were, more than likely, long before Stratos's time. To say that he was completely detached from the situation would be a bit of an overstatement, and as such, he felt his knuckles tense up around the device to summon his light cycle as the quartet got ready to start their mission. With the arena being set and the groups both being present, the announcer introduced both of the teams. As Hikaru stated that he would be able to take care of Shapur, Stratos then said, "then I'll handle D'daear. I uh, don't really know much about him, but I'll figure something out."

With that, the coutdown had begun and everyone seemed to try to psyche themselves up. As the count reached the end, the four enemies, with mechanical precision and harmony, summoned their light cycles and began to speed towards the group. Going along with everyone else, Stratos summoned his light cycle to his side and boarded it as he got ready to drive off. The group of keybladers had much less synchronization then their antagonistic counterparts in more than just their start. Where they moved in the same direction as almost one unit, it was fairly evident that the keyblade wielders weren't nearly as reherssed. With Hikaru getting off to a late start and with Aislinn speeding ahead of everyone else, it left Stratos somewhat in the middle of the pack of their group, going along at an average pace. It then dawned on him the position he was in. Aislinn wasn't comfotable riding a light cycle due to trauma related to a similar device she had had in the past. Hikaru and Kel were likely hindered by past memories of those they were fighting against. While he knew both of these things, putting them together suddenly gave Stratos the realization that there was quite a lot of pressure on him.

He didn't want to make things harder on his allies then it already was, and so it was up to him to get them through the match. Or at least a good portion of it. Revving up his engine further, he noticed Aislinn speeding away from the rest of the group, meaning that it would give him an easier time of harrying the other enemies away from the rest of his friends. So, deciding to go straight at the problem, the boy instead drove straight ahead at the four light cyclists, charging head on to get their attention. Once he was close enough, he then sharply turned, only to then immediately turn again to have gone a full one hundred eighty degree rotation. With that out of the way, he was now keeping ahead of the four enemy riders of Team SARK and would be able to cut them off with more ease if they started to split off. If they didn't, things were likely to get far hairier for the boy and it wasn't exactly a situation he wanted to think of. Continuing to speed forward though, he turned on the light trail of the light cycle, leaving a wall behind his path to obstruct the enemies.

Holding the coin in her hands, Ananta looked towards the pumpkin headed boy and then to Base. "I guess we better head towards this race, huh?" she said, turning to leave. She followed the pumpkin headed boy and stopped when they got to the designated area. "Now what? We don't have any karts." Ananta sighed. "Do we just...hope they appear?" she asked nobody in particular.

 

Ignis knelt to the floor as CLU began to speak to the keybladers and then split the room up into fours, having each of them fight one-on-one against their NPC opponents. Ignis wouldn't have minded that too much by itself, but CLU's little right-hand man, or at least that's the impression Ignis was getting, decided to join in on the fun and sent his disk flying through all four zones, hitting each of the keybladers. Ignis didn't even have to chance to dodge as Rinzler sent his disk flying in her direction.

"Of course you can stay in the middle and send your disk through the walls. Do bad guys ever play fair?" She got up as she readied herself against her fight with Eon, who seemed pretty ready to go.

Eon began with a simple throw against Ignis, which she blocked, sending the disk flying back. There wasn't anything fancy with the move, but maybe that was because they were alone? Before the NPCs could work together, but now they had more of their personal strengths to work on, but having strengths implied there were weaknesses as well. Eon was supposed to be good at guarding, but maybe he couldn't do anything too fancy with attacks? Ignis had hoped that was the case, because otherwise her actions were going to have consequences.

She ran up to the NPC and instead of throwing her disk, she took it and held it in her hand as she dropped to the floor, slide-tackling Eon and sending him to the ground. As he fell, Ignis tried to slice her opponent to gain a point, but Eon grabbed her arm and stopped the attack. Ignis took the initiative and dropped her disk, catching it in her other hand and hit Eon with it, gaining another point. She rolled away from the NPC, trying to gain distance for the next bout.

IGNIS +1 POINT
EON -1 POINT

Ignis: 2

RINZLER: 4
Eon: -3

As the light cycle match continued Stratos had the four of Team SARK continued to chase after the boy. However, it would soon become apparent that this wouldn't be quite fruitful to them in any way, to the point that trying to converge on one target would likely hinder their progress. This was only made more apparent as a sudden light cyclist appeared to cut them off. Looking over to see her as she called out to him, Stratos looked up and saw that the girl had attempted to cut them off. As she appeared, two of the members of Team SARK looked somewhat surprised by this sudden appearance, and as such, sharply turned away from her. The perfect synergy and synchronization that they had seemed to have was suddenly broken up as the two who parted seemed to be a bit messier at the moment, looking for other members of the friendly team to hunt after. Giving a thumbs up to the girl, Stratos said, "thanks Aislinn." Letting out a sigh of relief now that he didn't have as much pressure behind him, the boy then looked over to his side to see that there was someone else trailing after him.

On the enemy team, their red light cycle starting to gain and close the distance between him and Stratos, was a man that was the only one that Stratos was partially familiar with. The a supposed digital replica of D'daear, a person that was more a passing acquaintence to Stratos then most of the other members in the SOS group, was the one that was current chasing after him. Mumbling, "well I did say I'd handle him," the boy got ready to start his one on one confrontation against the rider. To this effect, rather than speeding up, he merely slowed down and kept even pace with D'daear. Calling out to him he said, "so, I don't suppose you'd just want to talk this out right? We're all friends right?" In response, the D'daear lookalike turned his gaze away from the rode and instead to Stratos. With no real emotion showing behind his eyes, bar some kind of focused anger, the boy pointed his index finger at Stratos. Following this, he retracted the finger, instead extending out his thumb and dragging it across his own neck. Sighing, Stratos said, "yeah, that's about what I thought." With the pleasantries out of the way, Stratos looked up to focus on the road trying to figure out how to win this fight.

His opponent slowly, but steadily, started to accelerate, trying to leave Stratos in the dust, to which the boy attempted to match pace. With a wall fast approaching, Stratos knew he was going to try and make a play soon and thus mentally prepared himself. With relatively little distance between the cyclists and the walls, D'daear then accelerated forward, creating a light trail behind himself, only to then turn at a ninety degree angle to form a wall. Rather than try to match his pace, as D'daear turn, Stratos turned and then turned again, having gone effectively one hundred eighty degrees, only to then speed forward. D'daear then attempted to try and match pace with Stratos by turning, only for Stratos to then turn in response. With one last turn, Stratos finished his maneuver, turning away from the wall and driving away, D'daear had been effectively trapped in a wall of hard light. With nowhere to go, the light cycle slammed into the wall, exploding on contact and forcing the rider to crash against the ground, disentigrating as he skidded. "Sorry about that," Stratos said, as he looked for his next opponent.

Everyone had seemingly picked their own opponent for them face off against. He supposed that he could go up against Noroz, he didn't fully remember how he fought, but only so much of that could transfer to riding a light cycle. The opposing foe had a similar idea for he had pulled up right next to Kel as he raced down the track. The two competitors simply raced against one anther in a attempt to gain more speed so that they could pull ahead. Drafting would be an easier way of going about that, but those light trails behind their light cycles meant certain death of if they were to fall behind by the slightest second. Probably because of either he had more experience with this being a copy made for this kind of thing or just the general lack of skill that Kel still had in this whole thing. Either way Noroz was slowly starting to pull ahead. Fortunately not enough for it to be a concern about the light trail behind them. Kel attempted to speed up his own light cycle, but that only amounted to delayed the rate that Noroz pulled ahead of him. The light trail was being more and more of an issue and that wouldn't be the only thing that Kel would have to worry about.

Right across from him and heading in his direction at a high speed was another member of Team SARK, Xara to be exact. The two data copies had apparently chosen to team up against him for this run. That was both unfair and typical that his luck would end with him having deal with something like that. He he kept going straight then there would either be a head on collision or Xara would cut away at the last second, leaving him to crash into the light trail she left behind. Neither options sounded good to him as they both resulted in his demise. Time was running out before the impromptu game of chicken came to end and really there was only thing that that Kel could do that would result in the best course action as well as not leading to his end. Right as it looked looked like the two competitors were going to crash, Kel took a sharp right turn and rode off in that direction. His assumption was correct with Xara turning for the little data copy practically turned at the same time he did.

That just left Noroz. Hopefully he was derezzed in the sharp turn that Xara and himself had done. Kel glanced backwards and saw that that wasn't the case at all. Noroz had continued to ride straight right until the light trail form Xara's light cycle had faded and made a right turn of his own. Both of the copies were still hot on his trail and gaining speed quickly. The situation that he was currently in still wasn't looking any better for him. "Come on, can't you give a guy a break!" In response to his pleas, Xara angrily shook his fist at him whereas Noroz silently sped up. Figures as much. If they were this determined to to catch him, he would have to try and use that to his advantage. With one being on each side of him, trying to cause them to take out each other would require a whole lot of turns and such that A) He didn't think he had the time for and B) could end with him crashing if he did it wrong. Another glance behind him was made and showed that Noroz was the closer one to him. Deciding that it would be best to deal with him first, Kel took a sharp left turn in an attempt to cut off his path.

When Kaida was placed against Cat, she started to ready herself as Cat was. Cat got into a fighting stance and Kaida took a deep breath and said, "I know you're not her, but the fact that you're posing as Cat angers me. You better fight like her to be worthy of that imitation." as Kaida got into her stance as well, Cat smirked, and then responded, "Come at me then."

Kaida knew she wasn't going to be much use in terms of strength, she knew speed was her advantage. So Kaida began to dash, as if running straight for Cat. Then as she made a motion as if she was going to throw, Kaida dodge rolled and threw it at Cat's legs. The data-creation quickly understood what was going on and jumped up to let the disc pass. As Kaida's disc moved to return, Cat threw her disc at Kaida's disc and it knocked Kaida's away while Cat's rebounded into Kaida. Kaida let out a low growl before running after her disk.

Cat caught her's and tried to throw it at Kaida again for a second attack. Kaida managed to successfully dodge the second one as she picked up her disc. Kaida did a bit of a cartwheel and threw the disc at Cat as she did so. And Cat simply just didn't move in time before it hit her. Kaida and Cat's discs returned to their respective hands at the same time before they clashed with each other for a bit with a back and forth. Kaida got a few points in, Cat in return got a few points in. And just as Kaida took a pause to catch herself. She was suddenly hit by Rinzler's disc and she growled before throwing her disc at Cat as hard as she could. Which Cat attempted to deflect but it broke through and got her and Kaida caught the disc before yelling, "IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT?"

Steel's question was not immediately met with a response, but that didn't bother him. He instead to continue to shoot at the seemingly endless hordes of disgusting, apocalyptic alien bugs that were encroaching upon them.

It was certainly a challenge to find weak points on enemies that had consumed more resilient materials. He wondered how players normally handled that sort of thing. He and Glen would have to come up with something. There was the possibility of magic, but, Steel was cautious of using much of it. If the Sergent didn't already know they were from outside the game, magic would only make it more obvious. Though he wasn't sure if they were really focusing on hiding it at this point, since this was part of the test, and the were off world and technically game jumping?

Plus there was the players to consider. What would people do if they saw that one day some of the NPC's could randomly fire off bolts of lighting and shards of ice only for there to be no trace of it in the system the next day?

This was a more complicated situation than it looked like on the surface.

 

​

Andrew stood there for a moment when X said something about making a good point. He was somewhat surprised about this. Then X said 'Hey, is anyone in the building!' Then a few quaky voices called out, yes. "Wait people are in there." He did not know the impact of doing something in a game but then again Felix did ask them to do this he just was not sure about it. Then X asked, 'So how does scoring work in this game? Is it co-operative or competitive? Because I think I'm winning...' "Life is not a game, despite this being a game we have no idea how this works. People could wind up dead and not come back. This maybe a game of sorts but that does not mean that there is coming back after death it could be permanent thing"

He had no clue how any of this worked and did not really want to find out. Then a idea came to him if there was no stopping X then the next best thing would be to get the people out of the building. He summoned his keyblade and flew towards one of the windows. Looking inside he said to no one in particular, "you may want to get out of the building it would be safer out here." There was no response and looking inside the people did not seemed to be worried about the building coming down. Felix did say that he was fixing the building for thirty years so that might have something to do with it. The people seemed more concerned about Ralph not coming back.

He turned to Felix and said, "What happens if Ralph does not come back?" What might happen and the possibilities were endless. The building coming down probably was a grand of sand compared to what would happen if Ralph did not come back. That met that he had to find him. First he would have to faind his way to hero's duty and out of this game.
