Chapter 4.3 - A new goal

Keyla was quickly taken to the small hospital that there was in that village. It was such a small place, but thankfully, in that day there were only two people besides her, being treated.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Ittt hurtsssssssssssssssss AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME MEMEMEMEMEMEME!” Keyla screamed.
“Calm down. I’m the doctor around here. My name’s Laye, and I really don’t like when people start screaming in my hospital. Let me take a look at your wounds.” the doctor said.
“I found her in the entrance of the village -- she appears to be seriously injured. She said she’s been attacked by wild beasts. Is she going to be alright?” the man asked.
“Wild beasts? Only if they were really bad cats. It’s not that bad. She’s going to be fine pretty soon. It’s not life-threatening or something. She only needs to rest, and then she’ll be just fine.” the doctor replied.
“You... sure.... doctor? It’s hurting sooooooooooooooooo much....” Keyla said.
“Yeah, no doubt. Do not worry, lady. There’s nothing truly bad here. What’s your name, ma’am?” the doctor asked.
“My name? I---I---I ca--can’t remember.... Has something happened in my head? Where am I? I just remember being attacked by a bunch of strange animals, and then I woke up, and managed to walk until I arrived in this village...” Keyla lied.
“Really? Then it’d be better if we do some exams later. But for now, you simply need to relax. It’s already later, so I’ll leave it for tomorrow.” the doctor replied.
“Hope you get better.” the man said.
“Thanks. And yes, we’ll leave it for tomorrow.” Keyla replied.

Later, around midnight, when no one was left in the hospital to take care of the people there, because most of them were simply sleeping, Keyla left her bed and decided to have a walk in this ‘village’.

“It’s not as small as I thought.... Very interesting. I might stay here for a while -- there may be things which I need to see.. or hear.” Keyla thought.

As she walked in a small street, she heard a woman talking to a man. She was really happy when she understood what they were talking about.

“Is it true?” the man asked.
“Yes, the leader of the village confirmed it.” the woman replied.
“But how did they discover that?” he asked.
“Apparently, there’s a place -- very far away -- where there were powders, each with different colors, and so, they think that each of them represent different powers or magic. But there is still much to be studied about it yet. We can’t have conclusions based on conjecture. But if it is true... then anyone could have powers. I just hope I get a small amount of it..” she said.
“Don’t forget me. I’m truly interested in finding out what this ‘magical powder’ is. So far, it’s a big mystery... but we’re humans. We’ll find it out soon, I believe.” he replied.
“I hope you’re right. Otherwise, the life in this place would be completely boring.... Let’s head to the leader’s house. It’s that mansion there, you see it?” she said.
“Oh yes. What a beautiful house, indeed. I want to be really close to the leader, you know.” he replied.
“Everyone wants.... Hahahahahah! Let’s go.” she said.

Keyla stood hearing and saw where the leader’s house was. It was truly a big house, and it might be truly greater from the inside. For now, however, she had to return to the hospital.

“HAHAHAHAHAHA! If these two fools think they got what it takes to have the ‘magical powder’, they are completely wrong! It’s gonna be mine! I’ll kill anyone that stands in my way. I swear!!!! It shall be mine. I need it. With it, I can destroy everything, and kill thousands of fools hahahahahahahahahahahahahah! Just wait. It’ll be a splendid show. And I’m the protagonist, of course! Don't worry, your meaningless life won't be boring. You'll be burned alongside this village as soon as I put my hands in the magical powder.” Keyla thought to herself.

Valcon caught JP, healed him up to full strength and then chunked him at Dexel.

Now, I'm no fan of Naruto. In fact, the character himself bugs the hell out of me, and you'd better believe it!



But I am a fan of the Ultimate Ninja series, and figured I'd give it a go. Please note that this preview is based off my time with the Japanese demo.

For those unfamiliar with the Ultimate Ninja series, it's basically the Naruto version of Super Smash Brothers. While the demo only allows you to control Naruto, past incarnations of the game have allowed for battles involving up to four players. Like SSB, th ebattles took place on a two-dimensional plane, although there were multiple levels within each arena in both height and depth. Generations, however, throws you into a three-dimensional arena. There were no obstacles in the demo besides a tree or two, although I would imagine that there will be more in the final version.

Although you only control one character (three generations of Naruto in the demo), you can set assist characters a la Marvel vs Capcom, and with the tap of a button Sakura bursts in to lay on the hurt. Apparently, you can't switch between characters in battle. The winner of the battle is the one who reduces his opponent's HP to zero. Like in previous installments, there are two levels of combat; normal abilities and Chakra abilities. When you use Chakra, physical attacks become more powerful, thrown weapons change, and you can dash across the entire arena in two seconds. Either way, you can escape your opponent's onslaught with a decoy at the tap of a button, although it takes time for the gauge to refill.

While the story so far isn't clarified, it would seem that it follows the veins of Dissidia: Final Fantasy: don't think about it. Just enjoy beating the crap out of your favorite characters with other generations of the same character.

It takes a while to get the system down, especially since the demo doesn't give you a proper tutorial, but you'll catch on pretty quickly. All in all, Generations brings in a good brawling experience. If you're a fan of the series, or just looking for a good fight, give this game a try.

With an international release of March, the English version of the demo should be available soon.

Seriously this is like the 153894398534u5th time this thread has been repeated

All the originals.

(@Azure Flame: I'm making a couple of game references, one of which would sort of involve James since it's a Sephiroth reference. If you don't like it, I can edit my post.)

Joy's words made Mariah's heart leap. By the time she was able to react, he was gone. She knew she had to focus—they were on the clock, and she had to get to James and negotiate with him before their time was up. But how she wished she could have said the same thing to Joy! “I love you, too,” she whispered.

Though she had been fully aware that going to James might get her killed, that he may not be willing to talk and just take her down instead, she was now determined to stay alive. She had to tell Joy in person, and she refused to die before she saw him again.  And she knew how strong he was—there was no doubt that whatever resistance he faced, he would win.


Mariah looked up the location of the network building where James had broadcasted from, and found that it was surprisingly close to the hospital. She decided going there on foot would be quicker than going in a taxi and trying to navigate through traffic at this hour. She quickly exited the hospital and started running. She didn't know how much time was left, how much time she had to persuade James to wait longer—she had to be fast. Each time she reached a busy intersection, she expertly dodged and jumped over and even on top of cars. She got to the building in about ten minutes and saw that there were police cars and onlookers surrounding the place. She shoved past them, jumping over yellow tape and ignoring protesting officers, and kicked through the glass doors.

She didn't even try the elevator, guessing that James may have disabled it to keep his hostage news crew from escaping. She soon found the stairwell and looked up. There must've been several dozen flights. This didn't intimidate her though, as she felt like her blood was now pure adrenaline. She began to ascend as fast as she could towards the top floor where the program was broadcasted from.

When she was about three quarters of the way up, she came across something that made her stop in her tracks. A large trail of blood. It had started from outside the door of the stairwell, but she didn't have time to investigate its exact origin. It seemed to lead up to where she was going. She started running again. The further up she got, the more fresh the blood looked, and the more afraid she became. If I don't do this, everyone will die, not just this unfortunate person, she thought. I can't back out. She finally reached the top and burst through the stairwell door that opened up to the rest of the floor. She found herself at the end of a long hallway. The trail of blood led to the room at the opposite end, where the unlit “On Air” sign was placed above the door. The door was closed, adding to Mariah's anxiety. She walked up to it slowly and stopped right in front of it, working to hide any traces of fear from her face, though fear was the primary reason her heart was still pounding. She decided not to put her gloves on so that James might see that she wasn't there to fight. Of course, she would evade and defend herself if necessary. Then she allowed herself to think of Joy. I'm going to make it through this. I will see him again. With that, she pulled the handle and stepped through the doorway.

Everything looked too still, sounded too quiet. “James,” she called, looking around warily.  “I know you're here. I don't want to fight you. I need to talk to you about Jenova.”

This is my opinion as I stated on my Facebook and status update on KH13:

Don't you think for a TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY it should be something slightly more special? Fans already have 358/2 Days and re:coded, not to mention they're fillers and not important to the series (I know someone will argue this, so go right on ahead, but they seriously weren't needed. I like 358/2 days, hate re:coded, but they weren't necessary). Fans have been waiting years for an HD remake. Its been 2 years since news about KH3D and still no NA release date. They're messing up left and right. People are pissed about 3D because its yet another console just to keep up with the story and this is what we get for being loyal? 2 DS games we already have and aren't that beneficial to the story? Gee, thanks.

They just like milking people for all they've got instead of listening to them and giving them what they want. $200 for 2 games we already have and cards is a disgrace. If it was the HD remakes, Id gladly give them that $200 with a smile on my face. So not only did they lose their KH fans because they lost their patience waiting on KH3 to the point a lot of people arent interested anymore, they lost even more fans because no one wants the anniversary box except stupid people who will pay $200 for that monstrosity. They're digging their own grave.

oh thanks
i guess there's no point pre-ordering it thn (for now)

lol the 'oh crap' moment when you would have ordered it already.

I think that this isn't really the best way to celebrate the KH 10th anniversary. Why would I (and I'm sure a lot of other people) want to re-buy the same games I already own? They've been out for a couple of years now. Why release the copies of the same games that I'm sure a lot of Japanese and PAL gamers already have? AND at a higher price when I can just buy the two games for cheaper? That's just not really worth my money or neither the greatest way to express the celebration of the series imo. It may be good for some people who don't own Days and Re:Coded but for a lot of people, it's pretty disappointing but at the same time decent.  I think they should have gone for an HD collection of KH1, RE: CoM, and KHII. That would have been a great way to celebrate the series and get newcomers to get to know about the series. But I would kill for those cards though.  They seem really interesting to me. Other than that, the 10th anniversary box just doesn't seem much worth purchasing.

I call "Bullshit"!
Worst deal possible for the 10th Anniversary!

KH FM HD collection for the PS3... NAO!

I just can't believe that this is the 10th Anniversary Box it's completely useless I was expecting something much better that this I'm very disappointed too.

The kind that I just watch.

My favourite sport is killing heartlesses.

I've stopped waiting for KH3 for 2 years now. You have to understand that the team that worked on KH1 and KH2 is busy with Versus XIII. If DDD is anywhere as good as BBS and Days were, then I'm very satisfied. I love how these games are adding to the story. Believe me, I do want a KH3, but I still want to play DDD before I play KH3. Besides, I would just love to see the look on some players' faces when they play KH3 and have no idea what's going on because they skipped several important games. Then people like me will say "Don't blame me. You should've played the other games (or watched youtube walkthroughs) when you had the chance."

Deadpool suddenly woke up. "Alright, guys, what exactly did I-"

Deadpool then looked and saw Iamkingdomhearts1000 post that the RP was over. "Did the RP just come to an abrupt end?"

Yep.

"And did baylaust screw me out of some sort of ending monologue?"

Indeed.

"Oh, you mother fu-"

Deadpool was cut off due to the fact that the RP is already over.
