Light Fall [A Kingdom Hearts Roleplay]

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

"It means that the world has fallen to darkness." Aqua replied sadly to Hikaru. "A lot of worlds have fallen just recently."

She hesitated a moment, then pressed on.

"We need to know where is under attack now so we can stop it. Where did you come from?"

[Guest DEADACCOUNT2333]

"Worlds?" Said Hikaru with a surprised look. "I-I lived on an Island called Roack. But, if what you said is true, then... I'm dead, and so is everyone else..." Hikaru looked "That man was ..." He tried to think about the man. " before the attack, a strange man came to our village.He wore a hood, and kept to himself. Said he was a traveler of sorts."

"Worlds?" Said Hikaru with a surprised look. "I-I lived on an Island called Roack. But, if what you said is true, then... I'm dead, and so is everyone else..." Hikaru looked "That man was ..." He tried to think about the man. " before the attack, a strange man came to our village.He wore a hood, and kept to himself. Said he was a traveler of sorts."

"No... You're pretty much alive" Cody reassured the stranger, questioning reality but then quickly suppressing the thought. Luna noticed his inquisitive glance to the ceiling and smirked. "But... Roack?" He turned to face her. "Luna? Anything on that word?" She shook her head. "S-sorry Cody. I got nothing." Nodding in understanding, he started accessing his tactical pad on his left arm, trying to bring up any information on the name to see if he could locate the world where it is mentioned. "Dammit" he growled, "just Moogle'd it, no results in our databases."

 

He turned to face Aqua and the rest of the group. "Well, I got nothing." Hearing the remark on a mysterious man, Cody kept quiet.

[Guest DEADACCOUNT2333]

"I-I'm not dead... Then what am I?" Said Hikaru

[Javelin434 3,164]

"I-I'm not dead... Then what am I?" Said Hikaru

"Irrelevant to the situation right now. Unless you start telling us more about this mysterious man, these enemies, and your homeworld." Cody barked. Luna noticed the visible frustration in his eyes as he pinched the bridge of his nose and took several deep breaths. "Sorry" he finally replied, "I forgot that everyone has a different shock tolerance. Look, we need information to this new threat out there, and you're the only person in this room who has that info." His eyes narrowed at he focused on the stranger. "The faster we can identify what's going on, the sooner we can all respond."

 

"Not quite" a voice gently replied. Cody and Luna looked over to see Kairi closely examining her husband. "I think he can give us some information as well." 

[Guest DEADACCOUNT2333]

"It's not irrelevant!" Said Hikaru with anger " I don't know what these things are other than what you told me recently! Heartless, worlds, stars, all of this! I- I just need an explanation! Someone tell me!" He stretched out his hands, and to his surprise, two swords appeared in his hands. "Aahh!" He shouted. "How did I-"

Ventus observantly at Hikaru and pondered  for a second. "So, you think that you might've died, but you're still here. That's strange.....Unless you're not the same person you once were." He thought about what Sora had told him had happened from when he was asleep in castle oblivion, about an Organization of people, who had lost their hearts and had no feelings, yet grew hearts of their own and became their own people again.

 

"I....I think you might be a nobody. Hikaru." Ventus said solemnly. "You said that the heartless attacked your world, and they steal the hearts of others. When you lose your heart, from a heartless, or something else, a heartless is created. Its the embodiement of the darkness in your heart. It also contains your own heart aswell, but sometimes, when a person has a strong enough heart, it creates something else along with a heartless. It creates a Nobody, which is basically your own body, but without a heart. It gains a conciousness, and when given time, can grow a new heart, and develop its own personality. My guess is, your heart is incredibly powerful, and when you lost your heart on Rock Island, your nobody was created, and thats what you are now. A nobody."

[Guest DEADACCOUNT2333]

"Nobody...I'm a nobody..." Hikaru felt the bitterness of the word in his mouth. He felt where his heart should be. "Does that mean...I'm not me?" He looked at the people around him "Who are you people? Are you with those dark things?"

[Reyn 1,755]

"Nobody...I'm a nobody..." Hikaru felt the bitterness of the word in his mouth. He felt where his heart should be. "Does that mean...I'm not me?" He looked at the people around him "Who are you people? Are you with those dark things?"

"What? No!" Ventus said calmly. "We are not with those dark things, those are the heartless. We protect the worlds and stop the heartless from trying to harm others. I know it must be all confusing and strange to you, but you need to calm down. Besides....I know what its like to not have a heart." Ventus said solemnly. "I remember, i...i lost my heart 30 years ago, when i saved the worlds from a horrible man named Xehanort, for a brief time. Except, unlike with you, i lost my heart because i expelled it to save the worlds, so instead of becoming a nobody, i fell into darkness.....If it wasn't for Sora here accepting my heart into him and allowing me to heal, and eventually save me, i wouldn't be here." He looked down. "The point is, we can help you Hikaru, we can help save your world and your friends, and restore you back to normal, but you have to trust us." Ven held his hand out. "So, what do you say? Will you join us?"

[Javelin434 3,164]

"Nobody...I'm a nobody..." Hikaru felt the bitterness of the word in his mouth. He felt where his heart should be. "Does that mean...I'm not me?" He looked at the people around him "Who are you people? Are you with those dark things?"

Cody didn't even flinch as Hikaru summoned his weapons. Years of combat hazing had made the battle-hardened Guardian used to surprises, but nonetheless he slowly moved his right hand to a combat position, ready to summon his weapon at a moment's notice. Luna placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder as she gently nuzzled him on the back of the neck, quietly protesting his actions. "Negative" he nonchalantly answered Hikaru, "If we were, you'd be gone by now." He glanced over to Ventus, and nodded. "Are you sure we should drag this guy aboard?"

[Guest DEADACCOUNT2333]

Hikaru stretched out his hand. "Yes, I will join you. I don't want anyone to feel as hopeless as I felt when they came to my world. I don't care why they are doing, or how old that girl was, I will stop them." Hikaru smiled, "I was going to ask anyways. By the way, I know my way around swords, but I would love some more training."

[Reyn 1,755]

Ventus clasped Hikaru's hand and shook it. "Glad to have you on board Hikaru. So, since you said you are good with swords, would you like to spar with me and test your strength? Just to be sure you're ready to handle this kind of mission? I'll warn you, i'm a veteran at this, so i'll ease up on you."

[Guest DEADACCOUNT2333]

"Right..." Said Hikaru. "Should we go someplace else? Or is here fine?"

[Reyn 1,755]

"Uh, i think here is fine, no one seems to be objecting to otherwise, so let's start then." Ventus summoned his keyblade, Lost memory. "So, are you ready Hikaru?"

[Guest DEADACCOUNT2333]

"Oh! You have the same blade as that man!" Hikaru drew his dual swords " Lets go!"

[Reyn 1,755]

Ventus's keyblade started glowing light blue, with wisps of ice coming out of it. "Freeze!" He fired a small blizzard shot at Hikaru and followed up with running up to him and doing a reversal around him and jumped into the air and struck down at him.

[Guest DEADACCOUNT2333]

Hikaru was amazed at the instantaneous ice."How di-" he saw ventus comedown on him,. He blocked the attack with one of the blades, and tried to move away from the blast of ice. He blocked the sword, but the ice dodge failed, making him stumble and lose his form. "Whoah! That was icy! I gotta lean how to do that!"

Hikaru then carefully advanced and delivered a flurry of stabs and slices. They were amateur swipes, but fast enough to get a few weak slices in amongst the other blocked slices.

[Reyn 1,755]

Ventus got hit by a few strikes, but managed to defend against most of the combo. "Huh, that hurt a bit. You're stronger then i thought! But you have much to learn." Ventus counterattacked after defending the blows, sending Hikaru flying. He then pointed his keyblade at hikaru and did a fast strike through him, making him stop mid air and fall to the ground.

[Guest DEADACCOUNT2333]

"Wow!" Said Hikaru in amazement. " I do have much to lean. Like those attacks! How did you knock me so high!? And those sword skills were exceptional! You could have beaten my master no problem! I'm lucky that you lowered your power, or I wouldn't have gotten a hit in!" Hikaru then pointed at the strange blade " that blade is so beautiful! It seems so lightweight, but it hurts like hell!" He felt the side where the strikes had been made "ouch... But that aside, what is that weapon called?"

[Guest DEADACCOUNT2333]

(Anyone here?)

[Javelin434 3,164]

Noticing the spar between the keyblade wielder and the stranger, Cody watched Ventus intensely as he dissected his every move. Satisfied that he wouldn't be learning anything new from the keyblade veteran anytime soon, he shifted his attention to Kairi. She along with her children were still gathered around the Keyblade legend, and he decided to give them the alone time they so desperately need after the recent traumatic events. Slowly walking to the opening that led outside to the courtyard of the Land of Departure, he eventually leaned up against the door frame and admired the view as Luna trailed closely behind. Still within earshot of everyone else, he listened to the sounds of chatter amidst the group until the timid protector stood in front of him. She had a big smile on her face, her eyes full of life and joy as she just walked into him, embracing the Guardian with a heartfelt hug.

 

In a surprising break of his usual facade, he let off a chuckle. "Would you mind not rubbing your nose on my neck in front of the others?" he quietly asked, a smile forming on his face as he looked down. "It kinda makes the current situation look.... not serious." She softly giggled and looked up. The tip of their noses touched, freezing both Guardians for a moment as they gazed deeply into each other's eyes. "I-... I'm sorry" Luna gently whispered, "I can't help it." 

 

"Well... it'd be wrong to ask you to stop. You always were the sweet one" he gently replied, their lips mere millimeters from each other as they continued their tender exchange. "Besides, you doing what you do is the only time I actually feel... safe." His hug tightened slightly as she smiled, getting lost in the moment until a question brought her back into reality. "Everything ok between you and Zion?"

 

"Oh..." she slowly looked over to the blonde girl who was conversing with Aqua. "She's been taking good care of me." Cody moved his head above hers, playfully resting his chin on her soft, silky hair as she refused to let go of him. "That's good. I hope she doesn't mind me doing this to you. Once Ventus finishes testing the newcomer, well..." his voice trailed off. "Well... I hope I can see you again." 

[Guest DEADACCOUNT2333]

Hikaru made his swords disappear. " Oh, I concede by the way.Thanks...what were your names again? I'd like to know your names first before I ask about your blades." He smiled "fighting gives me such a rush... Had I known to make swords appear, I would have at least tried to stop those heartless."

[Reyn 1,755]

"Wow!" Said Hikaru in amazement. " I do have much to learn. Like those attacks! How did you knock me so high!? And those sword skills were exceptional! You could have beaten my master no problem! I'm lucky that you lowered your power, or I wouldn't have gotten a hit in!" Hikaru then pointed at the strange blade " that blade is so beautiful! It seems so lightweight, but it hurts like hell!" He felt the side where the strikes had been made "ouch... But that aside, what is that weapon called?"

"Thanks, it's nothing really, we'll help you get better." He looked at his keyblade. "This is the keyblade, mine is called "Lost Memory". It's really powerful. Anyway, i hope i didn't hurt you too bad."

"Key...blade" said Hikaru quizzically "Why's it called that? And you name them?" Hikaru pondered "I should name mine..."
