Javelin434 3,164 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Hahaha excuse me for trying to get back at those fighter-crafts "Shields have been hit, Four. 95%" Krystal gently spoke. Four slowly exhaled and focused; Battle Serenity has finally kicked in. I did it. I learned it. And now I live to use it at will. He did yet another barrel roll as he witnessed the orbs slowly converging onto his vessel. Tracer orbs zipped past his glass canopy as he glanced at the radar display. Several bogeys were trailing him and Four did some calculations as he glanced at the space around him. He noticed the orbs that were sent after him before that missed were now arcing back towards him. Seekers... Perfect. They were above his ship, and were turning around to try and hit him from above. But he had other plans. Four pulled up and the ship seemed to gracefully follow his command. More tracer orbs slowly flew past him; they were smart enough to lead their shots, but still haven't dialed in on his distance. He looked back and saw the fighter-crafts trailing behind him, one of them was following in the wake of his engine trail. He looked back up and saw the seeker orbs. With a gentle grace, he pulled back on the throttle and hard on the joystick, activating auxiliary directional thruster and sending his ship into a very tight loop that ended with him flying towards the bogeys. The seeker orbs were now behind him, still intent on following its target. He slowly flew towards one of the fighters, looking at their cockpit to see who was piloting it. All he saw was a helmet with a blackened visor, staring back at him and following his gaze as he slowly closed the distance between the two ships. After waiting for a moment, Four pulled on the joystick, crossing paths with the fighter right in front of him. He cleared the fighter's path, but the orbs behind him weren't so fortunate. He looked back to witness a few impacting the wing of the fighter, but had maneuvered his ship so that it would only disable the fighter. He didn't want anyone hurt; he only had a grudge towards those who hurt Sora, Riku, and Kairi. Everyone else here was a neutral target, and Four didn't want to hurt potentially innocent people. The fighter started to spin out of control. Krystal was still screaming, but he was so focused that he didn't hear it all that much; it was just a high droning voice in the background as he pulled off the maneuver. He again oriented his ship towards Traverse Town and went full throttle. Follow the birdie. I dare you... Edited April 6, 2013 by Javelin434 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saber Lily 1,543 Posted April 5, 2013 The ships broke off to recover their wingmen, leaving Four to fly off. Of course, the dropships detaching to take people down to the surface were on full burn, fresh fighters following as Zion, on the ground, scowled. "Head to the fountain. Got some idiot to beat up for almost killing my mom." Wings out, she was gone. ((Your fault for exiting hyperspace so close they didn't have time to adjust you don't go ballistic when it's an accident and you don't npc things you have barely any info on. Like orbs controlled by a Keyblade-weilding cortana not missing their allied ships or getting past 117 warships to flyby the bridge <. < )) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Javelin434 3,164 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) You can give him a lecture later. [Traverse Town, 1st District] Four looked back and saw the rest of the fighters break off and tried to assist the crippled fighter. Hope that person's alright. He pinched his nose and closed his eyes as his ship started its descent into the First District of Traverse Town. Time started to return to normal in his point of view as he hit atmosphere, causing the ship to shake and buckle. Several minutes passed before he arrived above 1st District. After a short while, he found his usual landing spot at the end of an alleyway. He made friends with the tenants of the houses nearby long ago, shocked to see someone off world landing that hunk of a ship in a clearing just big enough for it. The landing gears made contact with the ground and Four killed the throttle. The high pitch whine of the engines started to wind down as he slowly unbuckled his safety belts. He looked at Krystal. "I still got it!" he said to her, smiling and slightly giggling. "You sure know how to take a girl out for a ride." She replied and smiled back. He raised his left hand and gently rubbed her holographic cheeks with his index finger, and she responded by hugging his finger with her two tiny hands as her face slightly reeled from the kind gesture before embracing it as well. Four's smile quickly disappeared as the nightmare shortly before the encounter popped back in his mind even though he wanted to forget about it. She noticed. "So, are you going to tell me what's going on?" Four looked around: No one was shooting him, and the tenants around his ship didn't seem to notice the sounds of two engines whirring down to a full stop. "Ok. I promised you anyways." For the next 20 minutes, Four told her everything that had happen after going for an ice-cream run in Twilight Town. The abduction, the fight at Destiny Islands, battle serenity, and his recent nightmare. Edited April 5, 2013 by Javelin434 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saber Lily 1,543 Posted April 5, 2013 ((I was lecturing YOU Javelin on your assumptions. And a lecture is the only thi g Four could have ever hoped for.)) Of course, when you nearly kill the last of a species who's the mother of a split persona Mehblade wielder, you tend to get surrounded by two Keyblade Masters, a Keyblade Wielder that looked like a hologram, as well as a giant spaceship hovering overhead. Keyblades drawn, two were double-sided Keyblades, and one looming like sharp, extremely well crafted ice. They were in a trianglearound the ship, two with gllwing wings flared and the third hand kut, blue runes floating on her palm. "You almost killed my mother you idiot!" Zion shouted. "Because of your STUPID SELFISH IDIOTIC STUNT. NOW GET OUT HERE SO I CAN MICM YOUR ASS AND GET BACK TO MY JOB OF SAVING THE UNIVERSE." Word to the wise: don't even ACCIDENY threaten Kenai.

Javelin434 3,164 Posted April 5, 2013 Well I kinda figured that if you're gonna bring up those warships from Mass effect, star wars, halo, etc then escort fighters would be standard protocol. It did make for an interesting read though. All of this could have been avoided had someone tried contacting me via radio or interpreted it as a playful stunt Like what Tom Cruise did in Top Gun. [Traverse Town, 1st District] "Well... there you have it. Satisfied Krystal?" Four asked after telling her everything that has happened thus far. She was in awe at how fast things have transpired after what was supposed to be a routine ice-cream run. "And to just think" he continued, "had I not decided to go get some ice-cream, all of this wouldn't have happened." He felt slightly at peace finally being able to tell someone about his experience as well as his recent dream. He thought nothing of whether or not she understood it at all; for the time being, he just wanted someone to listen and comfort him. "So, that's why we're here. If other worlds have fallen to darkness, we ought to bump into some keyblade wielders here." He slowly exhaled, signifying the conclusion of storytelling and getting back on track. "Thank you, Four." was the only thing she managed to say. He looked at her and smiled. "You almost killed my mother you idiot! Because of your STUPID SELFISH IDIOTIC STUNT. NOW GET OUT HERE SO I CAN MINCE YOUR ASS AND GET BACK TO MY JOB OF SAVING THE UNIVERSE." He heard someone screaming from outside. Well now. Someone's screaming and questioning my flight capabilities. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Four let off a yawn, still a little groggy from the hour long nap before arriving at Traverse Town. He looked out towards the voice and spotted Zion. "How did they get here so quickly?" he asked under his breath before rising out of the pilot seat and putting his helmet back on. "Talk to you later" he said to Krystal before making his way down the stairs towards the crew common quarters. He turned around and went down another flight of stairs towards the entrance ramp. He slapped a button on the right wall and the ramp lowered. As he walked out into the world, the ramp closed behind him. "Say what now?" he asked the enraged Zion as he scratched the backside of his helmet. "Oh, right. The flyby." He had a big smile under his helmet, thankfully out of plain sight of Zion. He knew saying sorry was out of the question, and offering an explanation would probably be pointless. He never went into overdrive, otherwise the transit between the worlds would have been minutes instead of hours and he really needed the break, giving them ample time to detect him. He couldn't recall anyone trying to identify him or hail him on the radio, and he was pretty certain that his ship isn't invisible to gummi radar. Otherwise, someone would have contacted him as he was flying towards their biggest ship. The unprovoked first strike could have been in self-defense he reasoned, so he let that slide. Four thought about his options before deciding to shrug his shoulders. "Whoops." was all he could think of, trying to hold back a laugh at his poor choice of dialogue.

Saber Lily 1,543 Posted April 5, 2013 ((Considering you never really gave me a chance to do that before nearly kamikasing my flagship...)) "WHOOPS? WHOOPS?" Zion displed the keyblade and kicked Four in the groin three times quickly before she highkicmed his chin. She finished with a bafklip transition into a flying tackle, front flipping off his form and landing. Elapsed time: three seconds. "You say sorry. Not whoops." Zion said harshly, hands clenched. "You don't piss off the largest Navy in the universe who are opposing Xehanort, AND YOU DO NOT NEARLY FINISH THE GENOCIDE OF AN ENTIRE SPECIES, A GENOCIDE STARTED BY THE HEARTLESS." She turned around to look down at Four. "If you had eyes, you would have seen the black Oathkeeper Charm on the side of the ship you did a flyby on. You know. That star? Whatever you keyblade emblem people are, pretty sure you can recognize that sea shell star. Or are you as blind as you are stupid?" Now, Zion doesn't get angry. Her negativity, every drop of it, was in Sione. What Four did, was cause Zion to break the laws of nature. Soren and Kelsi backed away. This wasn't pretty.

Javelin434 3,164 Posted April 6, 2013 Had you read the very last paragraph of that dream sequence post, I intentionally left that part vague enough to allow for an open interpretation of his actions He could have been contacted as he was vaguely flying towards the mothership, but I like this option better [Traverse Town, 1st District] Four didn't expect the preemptive strike from Zion. The armor managed to dampen most of the physical impact, and Four was grateful that she didn't use her keyblade. Before he fell to the ground, another kick sent him flying backwards towards his ship. He didn't feel any pain as he landed on his back, sliding away from Zion and finally bursted out laughing. "Yeah, I guess I deserved that." He said as he recovered back to a standing position. "You don't piss off the largest Navy in the universe who are opposing Xehanort, AND YOU DO NOT NEARLY FINISH THE GENOCIDE OF AN ENTIRE SPECIES, A GENOCIDE STARTED BY THE HEARTLESS." Zion scolded towards Four, who was still somewhat giddy about the stunt. Four calmly replied back, "I didn't intend to fly into the bridge of that... ship. Believe me, if I wanted to, I wouldn't have missed. But I'm flattered that you'd think I would be crazy enough to do so." Still processing her statement, he tilted his head slightly sideways as the last part of the lecture hit home. "Woah woah, what? How would I do that?! All I did was take evasive maneuvers and decided to play cat and mouse with tha-... Oh..." He suddenly understood why she was mad. Whoever was in that fighter-craft was obviously important to her, and he nearly made them commit a blue on blue attack. "Yeah, sorry about that. It was reactionary." was his only reply. Hooohooohoooo! Major whoops! Then again, you guys did shoot first, I just decided to do a little dance. Can't a Guardian have a little fun around here? he thought to himself while still staring back at Zion, who didn't seem to be calming down anytime soon. He ignored the fact that Zion was still fuming as he asked, "So, met any other friendly keyblade users around here? I figured that you would have ample time to do some searching." He thought he heard someone on the rooftops above and glanced up, but saw no one and returned to looking at Zion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saber Lily 1,543 Posted April 6, 2013 ((I didn't read it as such. Oh well. And you missed the fact Kairi's Wayfinder was pictured on FUD. And Four needs to stop acting like it was nothing; plus. When a random gummiship charges your fleet, when the darkness is winning, you shoot first and ask questions later )).)) Zion was at his throat, figuratively. She lifted him by the collar. "IT WAS JUST REACTIONARY TO FLY SO CLOSE TO THE BRIDGE WHERE MY MOTHER, THE LAST OF HER KIND, WAS, CLOSE ENOUGH A SINGLE HAIR TWITCH COULD KILL HER?" Zion let go and Sparta-kicked Four. "Wielder? I am no mere wielder." Her double-Keyblade blazed to life. "I am the Keyblade Master of Salvation's Dawn. My brother is a Master. You almost killed not only a Keyblade Wielder but almost killed one of my personal friends who was in that fighter trying to get ahold of you but abandoned that as you charged at our fleet like an enemy would." Kelsi stepped from the shadows as Soren flew down from the rooftops. To such a knowledable idiot, the emblem on Zion's circlet and on Soren's shirt was familiar: the Keyblade Master Emblem.

rikunobodyxiii 700 Posted April 6, 2013 [Nexus Shift] "Anybody know this guy?" Marcus demanded as he summoned his Keyblade. "His aura is like something Neena and I encountered at Distiny Islands." Terry answered with a calm voice that clashed with the taut way he held himself. The vessel of Xehanort Kept his gaze moving in case Zion and the other fighter came closer. "Long time ago, or recent?" "Recent. He seemed concerned with light." Marcus nodded. "Let's hope he still is." Marcus leaped into the air and rocketed up, propelled by magically commanded winds. He changed course from up to head for the 1st district and the fight that was happening there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Javelin434 3,164 Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) You gotta point there, but he's oblivious to the the mindset right now. He never intended to shoot, which is why he did the fun acrobatics. That would explain his behavior right now. And I don't think there's a keyblade master emblem, but I'll roll with it for now. This is getting fun [Traverse Town, 1st District] Getting a little frisky, aren't you? He thought to himself as Zion grabbed him by the collar, raising him off the ground. She screamed at point blank range, "IT WAS JUST REACTIONARY TO FLY SO CLOSE TO THE BRIDGE WHERE MY MOTHER, THE LAST OF HER KIND, WAS, CLOSE ENOUGH A SINGLE HAIR TWITCH COULD KILL HER?" Hey! Me too! But I don't think you would care that much at this point... He didn't grabbed onto her hands like most people would if being held by the collar; if he was going to be struck down out of sheer rage, then so be it. He'd much rather be struck out of existence by a light wielder rather than a dark one. He paused for a moment before replying. "No..." he started, "it was reactionary to do maneuvers if I was being targeted and fired upon. Flying that close to the bridge was a bonus. Besides, nothing sets people off more than being able to fly that close and still haven't been gunned down by opposing orb cannons. " He thought about her statement a little more. Got you good, didn't I! he silently thought to himself as he smiled. She quickly released her grip on him before kicking him in the chest, sending him reeling. "Wielder? I am no mere wielder. I am the Keyblade Master of Salvation's Dawn. My brother is a Master. You almost killed not only a Keyblade Wielder but almost killed one of my personal friends who was in that fighter trying to get ahold of you but abandoned that as you charged at our fleet like an enemy would." Shoot first, ask questions later? C'mon, that's not nice! He finally understood the reasoning behind the offensive first strike. The title sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite figure out the importance of it. "I didn't realize that one of your closest friend was piloting that craft" he started again, "Didn't mean to give them a bruise. Hope they're alright." Off to the corner of his eyes, he spotted a shadow dropping towards their position. The light from a nearby lamp post revealed the shadowy figure; it was Soren. Well well... another familiar face. He noticed the emblem printed onto his shirt: the Keyblade Master's mark. He looked down towards Zion's hands and also noticed the emblem printed on a circlet around her wrist.

Saber Lily 1,543 Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) ((His shirt Javelin silly.)) "Bruise? If Kelsi had not changed directions, you would have killed Commander Leah Shepard, a good friend." She almost struck but held herself back. "You miserable, useless excuse for a human being! For a Keyblade Weilder! First you dive into the water to send your armor friends out, then run and decide to come to close to a fleet. GOOD JOB." She displed her Keyblade, not trusting herself one bit. "You think this is a game? You think being a hotshot pilot and doing all this is FUN? YOU CAN SMILE WHEN YOU NEARLY MURDER PEOPLE?" Now Zion just slapped him. "You are a disgrace to whatever organization you belong to." She said viciously, turning to leave. "Now we have to go fight Xehanort. Not run around like some child with a ship thinking he is the sh*t and he can dismiss the fact he nearly killed people he should ally with." Soren folowed silently, but Kelsi hung back for a moment. She studied him. "You were there. The Islands." She said. "I wonder how those three you stalked would view you now. How your red-haired friend would..." She turned and started to leave.

rikunobodyxiii 700 Posted April 6, 2013 {Nexus} Marcus slowed down and landed not far from where, apparently, the fight had stopped. "All problems resolved, I hope?" he asked.

Javelin434 3,164 Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Edited Sorry, I gotta go back to the character sheet and read it more carefully. I'm surprised that she could see through the helmet [Traverse Town, 1st District] "Bruise? If Kelsi had not changed directions, you would have killed Commander Leah Shepard, a good friend." Hey, I made SURE to make it a non-lethal hit, unless someone decided to design life-support systems into the wings... Now that's just wrong. She continued her rant, "You miserable, useless excuse for a human being! For a Keyblade Wielder! First you dive into the water to send your armor friends out, then run and decide to come to close to a fleet. GOOD JOB." "What did you just say?" Four whispered under his breath. He was shocked and deathly afraid now that he heard her say those lines. That was supposed to be a secret, but I had no choice at the time. He started shaking, afraid that his secret was blown wide open. If any of Xehanort's friends were near enough to hear this... He was about to ask what she meant by those words, but was cut off with her continued ranting. "You think this is a game? You think being a hotshot pilot and doing all this is FUN? YOU CAN SMILE WHEN YOU NEARLY MURDER PEOPLE?" None of those words registered in his head. He was speechless as he was still trying to process what she said about the encounter at Destiny Islands. "You..." He whispered, before again being cut off again, this time by a slap. "You are a disgrace to whatever organization you belong to." He let off a quiet sigh of relief; it was obvious that she didn't know about the Nocturnal Guardians. Hopefully the others didn't know as well. He slowly returned to normal. "Now we have to go fight Xehanort. Not run around like some child with a ship thinking he is the sh*t and he can dismiss the fact he nearly killed people he should ally with." Hey! there are children around here! he thought to himself, still unsure whether or not his cover was blown. He heard someone else chimed in. "You were there. The Islands. I wonder how those three you stalked would view you now." He slowly looked at her, whom he couldn't identify. "Were you... there?" he whispered towards Kelsi, now afraid that it was only a matter of time before someone connected the dots and figured out what he was capable of. He was still unsure if they could be trusted; if any one of them decided to side with Xehanort, then that was it. He knew he couldn't stand a chance against him alone. A 3 vs.1 confrontation with him would only result in a futile attempt to retaliate on behalf of Sora, Riku and Kairi. He'd have no choice but to put down anyone who realized his secret to maintain the secrecy. Four stood there as he waited for an answer, hoping that Kelsi would reply back. A silent moment, then she turned around to leave. He looked up towards the fleet of ships that were still lazily floating above. "By all means, if you're gonna save the universe, don't let me hold you back." Before he could take a step, one other voice called towards him. "All problems resolved, I hope?" He looked towards the person. "Who are you?" Four asked to the stranger. Edited April 6, 2013 by Javelin434 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Javelin434 3,164 Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) [Traverse Town, 1st District] "Apparently, late." the stranger said as he smiled. "But for polite conversation, I go by Marcus." Four saw him give a slight bow. It was a totally unexpected for him, as he was expecting yet another ranting from a stranger of all people. "I don't want to seem prying" he continued, "but who might you be and what are your general feelings on the subject of people called Xehanort?" Four fought hard to keep his emotions in check as he thought about the question. He looked at his gummi ship, which was about a stone's throw away from where they were both standing. Well... I can't say no one important. Might as well come clean, partially. Four extended his hand towards Marcus. "People call me uh... Four. Don't ask how I got the name. Pleased to meet you." Moments passed before he spoke again. "Xehanort? I got a grudge against him. I would like to fight him, but I know what my limits are. I'm gonna need help if I want a fair fight against him." he said softly. Edited April 6, 2013 by Javelin434 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KHLegendIII 709 Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Yang appears, floating above Four, Kelsi, and the others. His arms are folded, as he looks down on them. He smiles evilly at them. He then speaks out loud, by saying. "Four here, is a Nocturnal Guardian, if he lies to say that he isn't one, don't listen to him, he's just trying to keep his cover, and keep you away from the truth about him that's hidden, he doesn't even know his real name, or where he came from, of course he's a stalker, but he wouldn't really understand that.." Said Yang, blowing Four's cover. He then teleports away to the Land of Departure. Edited April 6, 2013 by Tom13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saber Lily 1,543 Posted April 6, 2013 Kelsi tilted her head, taking a long time to answer. She finally did as Yang disappeared. "I was there. I was everywhere." Her keyblade seemed to...melt away. "I traveled and observed. Destiny Islands was but one world I frequented. For the peace of it was lovely." She frowned. "And I remember your voice. The way you walk. You watched them. Stalked them. Then, when it was only her, you befriended. But, Four. Would that Princess of Heart condone the stance and your actions, how flippantly you act? How you just disregard the fact, that anything could be an enemy?" She scowled. "Your actions not only had the potential to kill me, and complete the job for the Heartless, but nearly cost the life of Admiral Sarah Aether's best and closest friend." She started dragging her fingers through the air, frost dragging and falling...and this frost formed the shape of Kairi's wayfinder. "I chose this symbol because of the meaning towards the owner. Simple, yet designed with a pure heart. A symbol of promise. Tell me. What does her symbol mean to you?" She waited for him to answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Javelin434 3,164 Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Yay! Tom's back! And seriously?! NOT COOL. I dunno how to type my way forward from here so... here goes [Traverse Town, 1st District] Four froze dead in his tracks as an ominous voice spoke from above. "Four here, is a Nocturnal Guardian, if he lies to say that he isn't one, don't listen to him, he's just trying to keep his cover, and keep you away from the truth about him that's hidden, he doesn't even know his real name, or where he came from, of course he's a stalker, but he wouldn't really understand that.." In an instant, Four summoned his keyblade and instinctively threw it towards the sound of the voice. He looked up; whoever said it was gone now. He clenched his teeth and fought back the rage that ensued as his title and cover was now blown wide open to Marcus and Kelsi. His keyblade returned to him, disappointed in failing to strike whoever spilled the beans on the secret. He looked down slightly, unsure of what to do next. Kelsi spoke to him. "I was there. I was everywhere. I traveled and observed. Destiny Islands was but one world I frequented. For the peace of it was lovely. And I remember your voice. The way you walk. You watched them. Stalked them. Then, when it was only her, you befriended. But, Four. Would that Princess of Heart condone the stance and your actions, how flippantly you act? How you just disregard the fact, that anything could be an enemy? Your actions not only had the potential to kill me, and complete the job for the Heartless, but nearly cost the life of Admiral Sarah Aether's best and closest friend." Her fingers were moving through the air, freezing the water vapors that were suspended in it. Four watched slowly as the frost formed the shape of Kairi's wayfinder. "I chose this symbol because of the meaning towards the owner. Simple, yet designed with a pure heart. A symbol of promise. Tell me. What does her symbol mean to you?" So you were there... No wonder I was always jumpy. Four softly replied back, still shocked about how someone knew who he was. There was no point in hiding anything anymore. "Call it whatever you want." he started, "Come to think of it, the others were always telling me to get used to being called a 'stalker'. I had orders from Master Yen Sid to watch over her. Quickly identified Sora and Riku, and decided to protect them as well, but she took top priority. Befriended her when we all forgot who Sora was. After Sora defeated most of the Organization XIII members and all three of them returned to Destiny Islands, things were slowly returning back to normal." He couldn't believe that he was disclosing all of this towards someone that doesn't even know; all he could conclude was that she was with Soren and Zion. Even then, he was unsure if they could be trusted. "Oh" he continued, "about what happened up there?" He asked as he pointed towards the night sky, "If I thought all of you were the enemy at first, trust me I would have fired back. I'm more than capable of doing so. It was because of the fact that I always assume everyone as neutral until proven otherwise that I did that stunt. And from the look of it... I gave you guys one helluva scare." He started to chuckle. "And if I know Kairi well enough, she'd ask me how to do that as well. Probably push me out of the way and take the controls too!" he said, smiling. "Sora might do the same thing, and Riku would probably be taunting me to do better." He looked up to Kelsi and instead was greeted with a frosted image of the wayfinder. "Personally, I don't know what to say." he started as the last part of her question finally registered in his mind. "Towards Sora, it was an unbreakable promise. Towards Sora and Riku, it know meant being there for each other. Maybe something even more. I also know that it represents the legend of the paopu fruit, since it resembles it in shape." He paused for a moment, trying to remember how it went. "When two people share a paopu fruit, their destinies become intertwined. They will become a part of each other's lives, no matter what." He paused before pulling out a wayfinder from one of his pockets on his utility belt. "She gave it to me when we became friends. I still wonder why she did it though." he looked at the wayfinder in his hands. "She was supposed to share it between Sora and Riku, and yet..." his voice trailed off, before he finally came around again. "Here's one, staring at me right now. I don't know what her symbol means to me. I've always assumed that it was a kind gesture. Nothing more. The whole destiny and being a part of each other's lives thing was reserved between the three, not me." He gently cupped the charm in his hand. "I hope that answers your question."

Saber Lily 1,543 Posted April 6, 2013 The frost melted away, leaving nothing but the memory of the image. "Scare? You angered us. How....how childish you acted. How selfish, you acted. Kairi would not condone it. Seeing her befriend Hayner, Pence, and Olette, was enough. Sora and Riku may condone it." She scowled again. "You only serve to push others away, ones who wish to befriend. Instead of apologizing, you act like the child who doesneverything because they can." She turned away. "You may have been her friend. But that does not mean she would think what you did was right." Kelsi turned and started to follow Soren and Zion. "Beware, Nocturnal Guardian; You may be her Defender and friend, but I have watched all Seven Princesses since their birth. I was there when the Keyblade War submerged Kingdom Hearts. I watched as Xehanort went back in time." Her icy voice only grew colder. "Come, Marcus. Leave this foolish Guardian to his devices. He only will push away the people who fight for the memory of the Seven." ((Kairi wouldn't actually want to do that she is the most sensible of the trio. Pissing off a fleet? Hello?

Sora and Riku may condone it. You only serve to push others away, ones who wish to befriend. Instead of apologizing, you act like the child who does everything because they can." Four replied back, "I wouldn't know how an acrobatic maneuver would anger some people." He paused for a moment before adding "But regardless, sorry for the stunt. I just needed something to take my mind off a recent nightmare." She turned away. "You may have been her friend. But that does not mean she would think what you did was right. Beware, Nocturnal Guardian; You may be her Defender and friend, but I have watched all Seven Princesses since their birth. I was there when the Keyblade War submerged Kingdom Hearts. I watched as Xehanort went back in time." Time traveller? He thought to himself as she walked away towards the others. "Come, Marcus." She motioned towards him, "Leave this foolish Guardian to his devices. He only will push away the people who fight for the memory of the Seven." Memories of the Seven? The other princesses are... gone?! Four only stood there as the information sunk in. If the other princesses of light were gone, then that meant that every Guardian that he knew was gone too. It also meant... only he remained. No... It can't be. Edited April 6, 2013 by Javelin434 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rikunobodyxiii 700 Posted April 7, 2013 {Nexus} Marcus glanced back and forth around the small crowd. [Nexus Shift] Annistha continued the glancing for a little longer then sighed. "And we are just leaving something like a Gaurdian when we need blades for the fight against Xehanort?" she questioned. She chuckled slightly. "He might not be much in the brain department, but I'd like to see what he can do in the martial realm." Annistha treated Four to a friendly grin. "So, Mr.Guardian," [Nexus Shift] Drave snapped his fingers and Heartless shadows popped up around Four. "Think fast." he continued. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Javelin434 3,164 Posted April 7, 2013 "And we are just leaving something like a Guardian when we need blades for the fight against Xehanort?" Four looked at Marcus, unsure what to say. "He might not be much in the brain department, but I'd like to see what he can do in the martial realm." Four piped up, "Now you're thinking the same thing." He started chuckling, "I'm getting kinda offended that someone's questioning my piloting abilities." Marcus looked at Four and smiled, but something looked off about him. "So, Mr.Guardian. Think fast." With a snap of his finger, the heartless surrounded Four. He instinctively reacted by running towards Marcus, tackling him. As they were both falling, Four wrapped his right hand around Marcus's head, shielding it from the impact as they both hit the ground. With his free left hand, he gripped his arrow-gun and started firing at the shadows. With every shot hitting their mark, the shadows started disappearing one by one. Seconds passed before the situation was under control, then Four rolled off to the side and got up, freeing Marcus from his grip. "I'm assuming that was your doing. Mind telling me what just happened?" he asked, poised and ready to strike down the newly met Marcus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saber Lily 1,543 Posted April 7, 2013 The click of guns was heard as Soren and Zion took aim with their sidearms. Kelsi turned around "Put that away. Now." She said, her icy voice capable of crushing frigates. "He tested you. And you do not play with lives to take your mind of things. You swear to protect a Princess of Heart, yet you..." she stopped with disgust. "I expect one to toy with lives for fun to be of Xehanort's side. Not sworn to defend a Princess." Kelsi raised her hand, the runes flaring to life. "Now back away before I destroy you." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Javelin434 3,164 Posted April 7, 2013 With the imminent danger clear, Four naturally placed his arrow-gun in his holster. He heard Kelsi speak. "Put that away. Now." Way ahead of ya. He thought to himself as he looked at her. "He tested you. And you do not play with lives to take your mind of things. You swear to protect a Princess of Heart, yet you.... I expect one to toy with lives for fun to be of Xehanort's side. Not sworn to defend a Princess." Four rubbed his neck to ease the slight pain that he felt there; he hadn't done that move ever since training. He took a deep breath, before explaining. "Body shield" he started, "standard protocols." He looked towards Marcus, making sure he wasn't bruised in any way. "Sorry about that. It was instinctual." He looked towards Kelsi. "Now before you start accusing me of working for Xehanort, explain why is it that you're so protective of this guy." Kelsi responded in her usual cold voice. "Now back away before I destroy you." Four continued his question. "From my point of view, he just summoned those heartless against me and now you're telling me to back away? Just whose side are you on? Or at least tell me what the hell is going on here." He was getting angry, but still suppressed his emotions, deciding to hear them out. Jumping to conclusions. Who's really the dumb one around here?

Saber Lily 1,543 Posted April 7, 2013 Zion rolled her eyes then held out her free hand, summoning a Soldier. She then slashed it away. -I'm Sione. Zion's darkness. If you had a brain, you would know anyone who wields darkness - or has a heart of pure darkness - can summon Heartless.-. "So stop jumping to conclusions, acting like a child, and showing off. Because right now, you're just a liability with a Keyblade." Soren scolded. "Xehanort is not going to wait for you to finish a nap or do a backlip. He'll stab you to death as he goes to geta sandwhich." Soren lowered his gun. "I like you. But there is a time for jokes and a time to be serious. Nearling killing a personal friend of mine and decided to pull off a move you should never do to allies. Especially over a petty thing as some pilots waking you up with their backdraft. Try keeping your damn comms on." Soren dispelled his Keyblade. "This war does not need idiots. It needs people who are willing to fight with friends. Not cause hatred " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
