"Wow," Cory stated as the fight raged on."You gotta be kidding." She realized that two of them were the boys from the alley. No one else could freak out at such small situations."All this big talk is driving me crazy." She flashed a wall of light between the boys that are fighting so they couldn't get to each other. But she knew she had stay or take the wall down. And the fight will continue.

"Wow," Cory stated as the fight raged on."You gotta be kidding." She realized that two of them were the boys from the alley. No one else could freak out at such small situations."All this big talk is driving me crazy." She flashed a wall of light between the boys that are fighting so they couldn't get to each other. But she knew she had stay or take the wall down. And the fight will continue.

Sandrew watched the barrier go up between Brooklyn and Syfe. "What the heck...?" He muttered.Brooklyn had an annoyed look on his face. "If that's how it's gonna be..." He muttered, deciding it was time to bust out his Keyblade. There was nothing that was gonna stop this fight. With his keyblade, Black Tempest, Brooklyn stabbed into the ground, a small set of energy orbs flashed out of the ground (think Explosion from KH2) and one of them had appeared on Syfe's sixe, threatening a strike.

{Hotaru}The young wielder remained silent as The Blizzard was on the phone. A moment later Azalea motioned to hurry, which he did."How strange." He thought. "They can't get a hold of Cron. I hope she is alright."Hotaru was surprised at this simple thought, why? because it was strange for him to worry about someone he barely knew. He was brought back to reality by a transmission from Lunaris to him. After the message was over he ran faster.{Lunaris}The Sniper took a moment to reload her rifle and she noticed that her ammo was almost gone."This is bad." She said to herself. "If they don't hurry then we will be in serious problems."Having finished reloading Lunaris began to shoot at the few remaining guards."Hotaru? Hotaru if you're listening," she whispered into her comm. "you better hurry up and get out of there. We are almost out of ammo and I'm sure that more guards are coming our way. If this keeps up then we'll be in one hell of a situation."

{Queen Mercedes: Port Royal; Warehouse District}The Queen seemed unmoved by the proclamations and insults hurled at her. She was waiting for one of the insects to say something worth while other then buzzing. She felt sure that some there were responsible for the loss of her commando team, making their retrieval mission a shambles. She was about to lay out the impending demise of all those there when they started teleporting out. She immediate summoned her Keyblade, the Ultima Weapon, but more of the insects were leaving. She finally leveled at Braxen."Stand still." She ordered. "Provide me with answers, and you will live."{Ina: Disney Castle; Heading for the Castle Hanger}Ina huffed as she moved at speed away from the lab. She knew in her bones she didn't want to be a part of that. She made it down a stair case, going down three flights, where the stairs ended. Breathing heavily, she carefully pulled Evie off her shoulder and leaned the tortured girl against a wall."Sorry about the jostling, but it was best we left those people to their business." She explained as she regained her breath.She considered the options before her. "The elders are going to have my head for this." She thought darkly."With the ruckus that's going on, we may have a chance to get out on a ship." Ina told Evie. "I'll try to get you someplace safe."She placed a hand on Evie's cheek."You with me?"{Cron & Lacuna: Disney Castle; Project Extinction Lab}

(Really sorry about that. I must've been really tired when I read your last post, and totally misunderstood it. I've edited it, and hopefully it's a lot better now.)

(no problemo.) (oh, and be sure to read the section marked "Alph" in this post. It'll have something Stan and Lee might hear.)As Ryonne brought his sword up to the Void Witch's neck, one of her crackling void blades shot forward and stopped a hair from Ryonne's chest. She grinned at the Swordsman."Oh, you're looking to play, are you?" Lacuna asked, studying Ryonne.Her eyes flickered over to Stan and Lee."You three might make a fun warm up."At that moment, Cron came back through the hole. Lacuna eyed the Ulthor Assassin with distain."And your weak void user there might do more for my side then yours. Really, using my own element against me?""Sorry, I don't use stupid." Cron shot back, then threw another dagger.It stuck in the bed, between Lacuna and Ryonne. It exploded in a wave of force, knocking both combatents away from herself. The Void Witch was knocked off her bed, but landed on her feet, her void blades up."Stop posing!" Cron yelled at the others as she threw more daggers. "Finish her now!"{Rho: Twilight Town; Beach}After making sure the hole in the fense looked like no one had come through, Rho followed after Dawn. He rubbed his chin as Dawn set up the sandbags and suggested practicing magic. Magic wasn't the young Ulthor Agent's specialty, but he knew some good spells."Okay, that works." He said as he pulled out his nunchaku. "What do you know? I know the basics and some intermediate spells."{Casumi & JayCee: Elympios; Bar}Casumi gave Neena a thumbs up to indicate she was doing well. The Ulthor Agent was odd in that she used words like she had a limited supply. If she could get away with a gesture or hand sign, she do that instead of talking."What's mission?" Casumi asked as she took a seat by Neena, presumably using up some of her word rations. JayCee watched Neena and Casumi, raising an eye brow. He wondered who the Miqo'te was. Considering how Neena was acting, she knew the girl. "What do you think?" He asked Severa in a low voice, gesturing to Casumi. "Informant or recruit?"{Scales: Twilight Town; Train Staion}Scales mood improved a bit once the two humanoids started fighting. The shield was unnecessary, in the dragon's mind, but didn't effect his watching. The smoke did. He growled, puffing out a little smoke himself. He gave Cory an angry glance when she put up the light wall. Some much for fun.The little dragon became visible and jumped off his perch on Cory's back, landing a few feet to her left and slightly a head. He raised his head and breathed a jet of white flames directly into the air. Confident that he would get attention with that, Scales growled as he eyed Brooklyn, Syfe, Sandrew, and Leonarda with a threatening gaze.<Enough!> a voice yelled in all four minds.Cory heard it too, though at a reduced volume. Scales wasn't shouting at her.{Alph: Disney Castle; Castle Wall}Uttering a few oaths, Alph tried to reach Ryonne, but was cut off as a trio of jet pack equipped light soldiers flew over him, dropping fire spells. The Ulthor Marksmen threw himself to the side, but still got a burned leg. He hit the ground, yelling out in pain. Before he could recover, one of the jet troopers landed nearby, summoning a Keyblade as he landed. Alph tried to raise his pistol, but it was kicked out of his hand. What could be seen of the Wielder's face was smiling as he lunged forward, his Keyblade aiming for Alph's heart. The Ulthor Marksmen closed his eyes, then reopened them a few moments later at the lack of a stabbing pain. He looked up to see Alexi standing between him and the Wielder, holding the Keyblade at hey with his bare hand. "Greetings." Alexi said, before grabbing the Light Soldier's arm and violently breaking it. As the Wielder was processing this, the co-leader for the Decolor brought the broken arm around and stabbed the man with his own Keyblade which he still grasped. With a quick kick to knock the dead soldier off the wall, Alexi brought his hand up to the common his ear."This is Alexi to all Decolor agents in Disney Castle." He called. "We are out of time. Wrap up what you're doing and bug out."His hand switched to his forehead as he switched his gaze to Lunaris's position. He gave the sniper a two fingered salute before helping Alph to his feet."How did you-" Alph started."I was monitoring your battle net." Alexi told him. "Then I was observing outside defenses. Luck for you."

(@spider, Twilight Town maybe? There are a couple scenarios going on there... riku, you have anything?)

(not currently, though in a bit I'll have a chase for him to be on.)

[Captain Arrowguns 466]

Stan and Lee

"On it!" Stan shouted, and slashed at Lacuna. Lee was about to attack Lacuna as well, when he heard Alexi's message over his comunicator. "Some of the other members are going to need me to teleport them out of the castle at infiltration point, so I need to get going there now." Lee said, remembering the plan, "Once you're all done with her, meet me over there as well." Lee then ran out of the hole in the lab and down the hallway, back to the infiltration point.

 

Braxen

Braxen took a deep breath in order to contain his anger, and calmly answered the queen, "My partner and I came here when we saw a ship come crashing down nearby. When we arrived, There was a dark wielder fighting some rebels. We joined the battle shortly after the Dark Queen Mali entered the scene. We all tried to defeat her and the other dark wielder, but they were able to kill my partner and get away. Now if you don't mind, I'm off to bury my friend. Oh, and by the way, consider this my resignation from the light army." Braxen said, and was enveloped in a corridor of light, and dissipated.

 

Lee

As Lee ran through the hallways, he couldn't help but notice that there was no one around. But then, a keyblader appeared out of nowhere using a teleportation spell and slashed at Lee. He barely avoided the soldier's attack, and countered with a fire spell. But the soldier deflected his attack and came at him with a charged slash. Lee tried to block the blow with his staff, but the slash cut his weapon in half. The soldier came at Lee again to finish him off, when something truly unexpected happened. A keyblade appeared in Lee's hand, and he was able to block the attack. Lee took advantage of the soldier's confusion, and stabbed him in the gut, killing him. "Well then, this changes everything." Lee said as he stared at his new keyblade and smiling maliciously. He unsummoned his new weapon and looked around to see if anyone alive was nearby. Fortunately, no one was. It wouldn't do for the Decolor to learn about his new talent. He then continued running down the hall towards the entry point.

[Saber Lily 1,543]

The Eternal Fire entered hyperspace as soon as the teleportation was completed. Luna let the crew care for Gaku; she opened a Quantum Rift Link with Sarah.

"Dark Princess, teleportation, fighting, death, and the need to kiss Zion."

"Sounds like a normal day."

"Heading to Slugterra. it's the one place I know we can hide."

"Roger that."

 

Sarah Aether frowned. "Freyja. ETA to the Mirage Arena?" she called. Her fleet was close, and right now they were going to meet up with the fleet that the Eternal Fire had meet with, before being cut off. Right now she was worried about something else.

What was Zion going through?

 

Evie slightly nuzzled into Ina's hand, her eyes already showing a measure of light. "I am." She said softly. "You don't keep a de Wynter down for long."

 

Speaking of de Wynter's, Zion felt them stop. Around a world, she teleported to the cockpit and landed on Victoria's head, except the universe didn't screw with her day; that was her way of payback."Sorry, universe hates me." She said icily. Floating off of her and next to Milo, she peered out the window. "Where are we?"

[Javelin434 3,164]

[Milo]

The Mourner looked to the young officer. The Queen's eyes and ears. "Current mission officially is to protect Zion. So theoretically we could lock her in a room and sit around all day, call it protection. But for now, we're taking a quick field trip to show Zion the state of the worlds. So buckle up!" Milo said, then turned and started towards the cockpit. As he was about to leave, he saw Snider bump into Emily. "Play nice Commander," Milo whispered to the commander as he made it to the cockpit. Milo buckled up, and raised the ramp. He went through the preflight checklist again. Finding everything to be in tip-top shape, Milo smiled and began to take off. Fortunately, no one at any point had to wear seatbelts during the flight, so those that were not seated would be perfectly fine. Once into the Lanes Between, the Mourner quickly flicked off the primary engines, and turned the warp drive on. He set the coordinates, and pushed the execute button. The Ragnarok instantaneously warped from Twilight Town to hovering over a new world. Milo smiled. Home. It was just the way he'd left it. He doubted anyone would recognize the world. 

 

Emily nodded and sat down as they traveled to the new world. Ok, i'll wait a bit before sending a report. She then looked out the window as they arrived. "Huh, i don't recognize this place. Hmmm."

 

Speaking of de Wynter's, Zion felt them stop. Around a world, she teleported to the cockpit and landed on Victoria's head, except the universe didn't screw with her day; that was her way of payback.

"Sorry, universe hates me." She said icily. Floating off of her and next to Milo, she peered out the window. "Where are we?"

[Aboard Milo's Ship, The Ragnarok]

 

Before the commander could repeat his request to the newcomer, Snider was immediately pulled back by Milo. Hearing the superior officer's remark, Snider sighed quietly and returned to his seat between Charlotte and Victoria. The two sergeants looked at him and quietly eyed Emily, unsure what to make of the fact that the newcomer was ordered by the Queen herself. As the trio formed their own conjectures, Charlotte turned to her commander once again. "So... what did the VIP say?"

"Enough to make sense." was the commander's reply.

 

With Snider and Charlotte conversing with each other for a bit, Victoria fought the urge to place her hand on top of the commander's, which was resting on his legs next to her. Maybe... Maybe he isn't so bad after all. she thought, her mind finally opening up to him. Maybe his niceness isn't just a facade to get closer to my sister. Maybe he... He really is different from the other keyblade wielders. Jacob... I didn't mean everything I said about you during the war. I'm sorry for-

 

Snider's voice jarred the sergeant out of her thoughts. "Victoria?"

"Y-yes, sir?"

"We need to talk. Alone."

What little warmth she felt towards the commander disappeared as she gathered her thoughts. "Sir, I can reassure you that whatever Zion said is-"

"Shhh... It's ok. I just need to get some facts straight about you." The string of words was enough to worry Charlotte. "What's going on?"

"Charlotte. This is just between me, and your sister. Please understand and respect that. If you want to tag along, fine. But please don't interfere. Understood?"

"I... Yes... Sir."

 

Trying to shake off the odd conversation, the trio got their wish when Zion teleported above Victoria. Fortunately for the sergeant who was sitting in a passenger seat and was wearing her helmet, Zion bounced off of her. Victoria wasn't amused as she sighed, with Snider and Charlotte both unsure how to feel as the girl scurried off to Milo. They all looked out the window, unsure how to react at the sight. "Milo?" Snider finally asked, "What exactly are we looking at, here?"

[Elrandir 783]

{Hotaru}Hotaru was surprised by the sudden message from the Decolor leader."What in the?" He thought. "He came to this place personally?"Time was running out, every member of the Decolor had to finish their job and bug out.{Lunaris}The Sniper girl's eyes widened as the Decolor Leader appeared before she could shoot the guards that was about to kill Alph."That was unexpected." She muttered. "This will be bad."As she was about to move, she listened to the message the bossman gave to all Decolor members before she noticed Alexi gave her a two fingered salute before helping Alph to his feet."Oh well, play time is over." She said. "Time to disappear."The rifle got engulfed by a black portal and Luna made his way towards the courtyard."The other teams must be going back to the designated area. Let's hope that everyone is alright." 

[Arya Stark 1,337]

[severa & Neena]

Severa watched Neena and Casumi as she listened to JayCee. "I'd say neither. A friend. Neena is smiling for the first time, and she is being far from her standard hostility." The Mercenary noted. She was indeed correct, as Neena continued to smile slightly. The Assassin replied to Casumi. 

"Nothing too difficult. An evaluation and reconnaissance. But since you're here, we can skip most of that I suppose. I need a quick refresh. Headed home. Would you like to come with us?" Neena asked again.

 

[Milo]

Everyone was reacting as planned. Perfect. If anyone had recognized the world, he wasn't sure what would've happened. "This is Elympios, a world on the far edge of the known worlds. It is currently officially possessed by the Light, but due to it's low tactical value and few resources, it is not controlled by the army. Most residents will be wary of us coming for seemingly no reason, so we're going to stay away from town. But this place does hold some significance. A story you won't find in the databases or textbooks. Come on, I'll show you it." Milo explained the basics of the world, stuff that most anybody who wanted to know about Elympios could find out easily. Milo descended onto the world, not with particular care. He knew there was nothing to land on where he was parking the Ragnarok. His ship landed on the hard dirt of the world. The Mourner quickly had the ramp descend. "Last stop! Elympios! All off!" Milo called to his passengers. He unbuckled himself and stood, and walked down the ramp. He stepped onto the dry earth of Elympios. Milo took a deep breath of the dusty air. Just as he had left it. "Good to be back." Milo muttered, glancing around the flat area.

 

[syfe & Leonarda]

Syfe cartwheeled away from where the orb was heading towards him. He had been rather surprised by the wall of light. After all, in all of his research of Brooklyn, he did not have this capability. Certainly, his opponent could something similar with an energy known as Void, but nothing like this light magic. And his friend, Sandrew was primarily focused upon elemental magic. Syfe glanced to Leonarda outside the shield. She looked just as worried. This meant there was a bystander somewhere nearby that was concerned enough with the fight to do something like this! Syfe nodded to the Engineer. Go, find whoever did this. Neutralize them if necessary. The Officer switched his dualblade into pistols and shot the orb, exploding it before it came close enough to do any damage. Leonarda was circling around, looking for any kind of suspicious activity. She could see Sandrew, but he was doing nothing but watching. The girl next to him though... Potential suspect? A dragon suddenly appeared on the girl's shoulder. Okay, definitely suspect. A voice called into her ear. A little shocked, Leonarda took a step back, and stood wary. Someone was sick and tired of this. None of the rest of the crowd had seemed to hear it, but Leonarda could see that Syfe had stopped in his tracks as well.

 

[Nikolai, Hiroki, Takako & Alba] (this concerns no one, but if you want to see my characters full arcs, I'd read it.)

The four rebels reappeared inside a room, something like a hotel room. Alba smiled hesitantly, before Nikolai reached around and grasped her in a big hug. "Goodness gracious you are amazing! Seriously, I am so glad we'll have a support like you around." Nikolai said, smiling broadly. Alba merely continued to squirm and smile cautiously. She wasn't exactly used to people. Hiroki saw her slight discomfort, and cleared his throat loudly.

"Nikolai. Put her down." The Chosen One commanded his partner. Nikolai quickly obliged, scratching his hair apologetically.

"Oh, uh sorry about that. Being with rough and tumble Hiroki for so long has made me kind of crazy around normal people." The Prince apologized. Takako laughed at that remark. Meanwhile Hiroki was crouched at the window, tying his shoes and straightening himself up. "Hey man, what are you doing? We just got here!" Nikolai protested.

"I'm reconning." Hiroki replied simply.

"Woah man, don't be stupid. You need to recover. Your chi has got to be low too! Let's stay here for a bit so we can rest and recover." Nikolai continued to argue. Hiroki looked pointedly at Nikolai.

"If we do nothing but sit around, the Queen will not hesitate to send her entire army after us. We must be prepared when the time comes." Hiroki finished, and stood up to his full height. "And this will help." Hiroki continued, refusing to let this go. Nikolai threw his hands up exasperated.

"Fine! Go out and kill yourself! You aren't a perpetual motion machine Hiroki! You have to stop yourself before you get stopped in a fight and lose something important." The Prince gave a last point before storming off. Alba watched him stomp off. Takako stepped towards the Chosen One.

"Nikolai's right Hiroki. Rest for a little bit. If you exert too much chi you could end up losing the ability to generate it at all. And die. I forgot to mention you could die."

"I'll be fine Takako." Hiroki refused her guidance, turning towards the window. 

"At least let me come with you! It'll be safer that way!" Takako called, a last ditch attempt to try and keep her best friend safe.

"No." Hiroki turned towards Takako, his eyes both soft and hard at the same time. "I am allowing you to stay here under one condition. You follow my every order. And this is one of them. Stay here. You aren't as hurt as Nikolai, and if you weren't around he'd get himself stuck on the end of a pirate's knife. Protect him. I'll be fine." Hiroki said, turning back around to the window. Takako crossed her arms, and turned, stomping away in the opposite direction from Nikolai. Alba watched her leave. The Dancer saw Hiroki jump from the window. She was alone in the room. Hiroki hadn't even considered that she might be able to help Nikolai. Was she really useless? No, Nikolai had given her so much praise! Rib breaking praise! Then again, Nikolai was a ladies man. Who knows what he'd say just to get a girl to fall for him. Alba sat down, facing the window.

 

[Azalea]

The Blizzard reached the bottom of the castle, and the entry point. She had heard Alexi's message, and of course, sped up because of it. Hotaru had been right behind her, but she was the first one to reach to rendezvous. Azalea waited for everybody else to arrive, hoping that Ryonne would be okay. Of course, that was a ridiculous concern. Ryonne was one of the big ones, the agents of the Decolor strong enough to take down entire battalions by themselves. He wasn't on the level of Neena or Alexi of course, but among the agents, few were more reliable than the Swordsman.

 

[Ryonne]

The Swordsman had been able to keep his standing when Cron's dagger blew Lacuna back due to his Blink spell. It did take away one of his hits, but he kept his footing. A good thing for a speedy fighter like him. Hearing Cron's words, Ryonne dashed forward again, this time not hesitating to slice downward quickly, proceeded by a strike from his sheath from the opposite direction. He had lost hope in a good fight. This woman was much too loud, too talkative. Taunting was a coward's tool.

{Queen Mercedes: Port Royal; Warehouse District}The Queen seemed unmoved by the proclamations and insults hurled at her. She was waiting for one of the insects to say something worth while other then buzzing. She felt sure that some there were responsible for the loss of her commando team, making their retrieval mission a shambles. She was about to lay out the impending demise of all those there when they started teleporting out. She immediate summoned her Keyblade, the Ultima Weapon, but more of the insects were leaving. She finally leveled at Braxen."Stand still." She ordered. "Provide me with answers, and you will live."{Ina: Disney Castle; Heading for the Castle Hanger}Ina huffed as she moved at speed away from the lab. She knew in her bones she didn't want to be a part of that. She made it down a stair case, going down three flights, where the stairs ended. Breathing heavily, she carefully pulled Evie off her shoulder and leaned the tortured girl against a wall."Sorry about the jostling, but it was best we left those people to their business." She explained as she regained her breath.She considered the options before her. "The elders are going to have my head for this." She thought darkly."With the ruckus that's going on, we may have a chance to get out on a ship." Ina told Evie. "I'll try to get you someplace safe."She placed a hand on Evie's cheek."You with me?"{Cron & Lacuna: Disney Castle; Project Extinction Lab} (no problemo.) (oh, and be sure to read the section marked "Alph" in this post. It'll have something Stan and Lee might hear.)As Ryonne brought his sword up to the Void Witch's neck, one of her crackling void blades shot forward and stopped a hair from Ryonne's chest. She grinned at the Swordsman."Oh, you're looking to play, are you?" Lacuna asked, studying Ryonne.Her eyes flickered over to Stan and Lee."You three might make a fun warm up."At that moment, Cron came back through the hole. Lacuna eyed the Ulthor Assassin with distain."And your weak void user there might do more for my side then yours. Really, using my own element against me?""Sorry, I don't use stupid." Cron shot back, then threw another dagger.It stuck in the bed, between Lacuna and Ryonne. It exploded in a wave of force, knocking both combatents away from herself. The Void Witch was knocked off her bed, but landed on her feet, her void blades up."Stop posing!" Cron yelled at the others as she threw more daggers. "Finish her now!"{Rho: Twilight Town; Beach}After making sure the hole in the fense looked like no one had come through, Rho followed after Dawn. He rubbed his chin as Dawn set up the sandbags and suggested practicing magic. Magic wasn't the young Ulthor Agent's specialty, but he knew some good spells."Okay, that works." He said as he pulled out his nunchaku. "What do you know? I know the basics and some intermediate spells."{Casumi & JayCee: Elympios; Bar}Casumi gave Neena a thumbs up to indicate she was doing well. The Ulthor Agent was odd in that she used words like she had a limited supply. If she could get away with a gesture or hand sign, she do that instead of talking."What's mission?" Casumi asked as she took a seat by Neena, presumably using up some of her word rations. JayCee watched Neena and Casumi, raising an eye brow. He wondered who the Miqo'te was. Considering how Neena was acting, she knew the girl. "What do you think?" He asked Severa in a low voice, gesturing to Casumi. "Informant or recruit?"{Scales: Twilight Town; Train Staion}Scales mood improved a bit once the two humanoids started fighting. The shield was unnecessary, in the dragon's mind, but didn't effect his watching. The smoke did. He growled, puffing out a little smoke himself. He gave Cory an angry glance when she put up the light wall. Some much for fun.The little dragon became visible and jumped off his perch on Cory's back, landing a few feet to her left and slightly a head. He raised his head and breathed a jet of white flames directly into the air. Confident that he would get attention with that, Scales growled as he eyed Brooklyn, Syfe, Sandrew, and Leonarda with a threatening gaze.<Enough!> a voice yelled in all four minds.Cory heard it too, though at a reduced volume. Scales wasn't shouting at her.{Alph: Disney Castle; Castle Wall}Uttering a few oaths, Alph tried to reach Ryonne, but was cut off as a trio of jet pack equipped light soldiers flew over him, dropping fire spells. The Ulthor Marksmen threw himself to the side, but still got a burned leg. He hit the ground, yelling out in pain. Before he could recover, one of the jet troopers landed nearby, summoning a Keyblade as he landed. Alph tried to raise his pistol, but it was kicked out of his hand. What could be seen of the Wielder's face was smiling as he lunged forward, his Keyblade aiming for Alph's heart. The Ulthor Marksmen closed his eyes, then reopened them a few moments later at the lack of a stabbing pain. He looked up to see Alexi standing between him and the Wielder, holding the Keyblade at hey with his bare hand. "Greetings." Alexi said, before grabbing the Light Soldier's arm and violently breaking it. As the Wielder was processing this, the co-leader for the Decolor brought the broken arm around and stabbed the man with his own Keyblade which he still grasped. With a quick kick to knock the dead soldier off the wall, Alexi brought his hand up to the common his ear."This is Alexi to all Decolor agents in Disney Castle." He called. "We are out of time. Wrap up what you're doing and bug out."His hand switched to his forehead as he switched his gaze to Lunaris's position. He gave the sniper a two fingered salute before helping Alph to his feet."How did you-" Alph started."I was monitoring your battle net." Alexi told him. "Then I was observing outside defenses. Luck for you." (not currently, though in a bit I'll have a chase for him to be on.)

"Dramatic-sounding talk for a winged lizard that can't do much to us. And anyway, you don't have a voice in this: it's a battle between us." Brooklyn said, as he contenued to preform his next attack. A grey hole appeared on the floor below Brooklyn, which he dropped into, and then closed. Afterward, it reopened on Syfe's side, but not too close to him, and Brooklyn materialized back out of it. "Now, shall we contenue our little sparing match?" Brooklyn had a half-cocky grin on his face.

[TimTrainsDragons 1]

"No, You shall not!" Cory bounced back to over-confident-bozo. "Scales is ONE of the most infuriating beings on the planet," then she glared at the two idiots from the alley,"so you're going to listen to him." Then she removed the light shield. "Don't make me put it back up." They have no idea what she's capable of.

"I don't listen to boots and a hand bag." Brooklyn replied. It wasn't like she could actually do anything to him anyway.

[Reyn 1,755]

Emily walked off the ramp and followed after Milo and took in the barren surroundings. "Hmm, i guess there's not much life out of that town. So, what exactly is this story that you're going to tell us anyway?" She asked.

[Javelin434 3,164]

[Milo]

Everyone was reacting as planned. Perfect. If anyone had recognized the world, he wasn't sure what would've happened. "This is Elympios, a world on the far edge of the known worlds. It is currently officially possessed by the Light, but due to it's low tactical value and few resources, it is not controlled by the army. Most residents will be wary of us coming for seemingly no reason, so we're going to stay away from town. But this place does hold some significance. A story you won't find in the databases or textbooks. Come on, I'll show you it." Milo explained the basics of the world, stuff that most anybody who wanted to know about Elympios could find out easily. Milo descended onto the world, not with particular care. He knew there was nothing to land on where he was parking the Ragnarok. His ship landed on the hard dirt of the world. The Mourner quickly had the ramp descend. "Last stop! Elympios! All off!" Milo called to his passengers. He unbuckled himself and stood, and walked down the ramp. He stepped onto the dry earth of Elympios. Milo took a deep breath of the dusty air. Just as he had left it. "Good to be back." Milo muttered, glancing around the flat area.

[Elympios]

 

Scanning the immediate area around Milo's landed gummi ship, Snider quickly concluded that there was no place for a private moment with Victoria. He contemplated his options as the two Hartmann sergeants unbuckled their safety belts. Looks like I'll have to deal with her later... With the captain exiting the ship, Snider followed suit  with his keyblade summoned, but holstered on his belt where a traditional saber would be, with both Charlotte and Victoria keeping a tight grip on their rifles as they kept close to the commander. 

 

Commander Jacob Snider gulped hard when he heard Milo remarked that the world they were currently walking on was on the fringe of light-controlled space. Afraid of what the captain's ramblings could mean, he quickly fought tooth and nail to suppress the painful memories of what would usually happen to 'border worlds' when confronted by either the forces of light or dark. The hairs on the back of his neck stood straight and a cold sweat started to form on the usually calm commander as he glanced around the place and to his two trusted sergeants, who gave some reassurance as their hardened gazes scanned he area. Remembering what Milo said about everyone being equal on the mission, the commander thankfully refrained from formally addressing the officer and decided to ask what was on the trio's mind. "So... With almost no strategic value to the Force, what exactly are we missing in terms of importance?" 

[KHLegendIII 709]

Dawn leans against the wall as she folds her arms, thinking of something. She taps her feet as she tries to think of some ideas for magic. She can feel her Heart beat faster in her excitement. She then snaps a finger, and looks at Rho with a smile on her face, and she winks at Rho. "I think the first magic spell to be learned should be something that involves using the wind to blow away several of these sandbags. Any spells involving any use of the wind??" asked Dawn, asking Rho a question with a cheerful tone in her voice.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Cron & Lacuna: Disney Castle; Project Extinction Lab}

Lacuna slicing Cron's daggers out of the air, the still swinging void blade clashed briefly with Stan's attack.

"Come on!" The Void Witch taunted, a grin on her lips. "You can do better then that."

She flourished her other blade and parried Ryonne's sword with a smug look. And that's when Ryonne's sheath hit her from the other side. She yelled out in rage at the blow, letting out a blast of energy to knock Stan and Ryonne back.

"Bugs!" She yelled, her eyes glowing.

Her blades grew and twisted as she fed them more power.

"Prepare for oblivion!"

Cron jumped forward and double kicked Lacuna in the chest, sending the witch sprawling again.

"Lame!" Cron yelled back.

Using her void blade as a whip, she struck out at Cron, taking off Cron's left hand, leaving a cauterized stub.

"Next time, puny!" Lacuna raged before disappearing in then air.

Cron looked in shock as the stub where her left hand had been.

 

{Queen Mercedes: Port Royal; Warehouse District}

Mercedes gave where Braxen had been a cold stare. She had been ready to end the upstart's life, but it didn't seem worth it. Besides, if Mali was here, she might know what the commando team was here for. She had to make sure there was no evidence. She waved her blade and started incinerating what was left of her commando's hideout.

 

{Freyja: The Yggdrasil; Space}

The holographic image of Freyja flicked into view above a console next to Sarah.

"Two minutes, captain." The A.I. answered her commanding officer. "We have other members of the fleet already there and hooking up to the Mirage Arena for the move."

 

{Ina: Disney Castle; Hanger}

Ina gave Evie an encouraging smile.

"Good." She said. "Keep it up, de Wynter."

She pulled her hand away and hit a button on her belt, causing her armor to deploy around her. She gave Evie a thumbs up sign.

"Trust me, we'll get out of here." She said with the gender neutral distorted voice.

She held up a finger, and fiddled with some controls on her wrist.

"Sorry about that." She said in her normal voice, but with a metallic edge to it.

She grabbed Evie and hoisted the girl to her shoulder, keeping Evie covered with the shield. She drew her sword and burst through the door to the hanger. A squad of guards were already there, on alert from the commotion upstairs. Deciding to dispense with questions, a sergeant cast a Blizzaga spell which hit Ina directly in the chest. The smug look on the sergeant's face froze as the ruminants of the spell flaked off the armored figure with no signs of doing damage.

"My turn." Ina snarled.

Small tubes extended from her armor and connected to her sword. Evie could hear the armor make whirring sounds as lightning spat out of the blade, blasting the sergeant and several other soldiers with streams of electricity. After a few seconds blast, Ins shut it off and made a break for one of the ships in the hanger. A soldier charged her, but his weapon was knocked away by Ina's blade and knocked to the floor. The other soldiers tried to hit her with a verity of spells, but the worst of them only seemed to make Ina stumble. She shielded Evie with her shield and body as she ran.

 

{Alexi & Alph: Disney Castle; Castle Wall}

Trusting that his operatives knew what was good for them, Alexi focused on buying a little more time. A jet trooper flew over head and cast a thunder spell at the Decolor Commander. Alexi reached up and "caught" the spell, absorbing the energy temporarily. Her punched into the air with his other hand, releasing the spell. The Thunder hit the surprised jet trooper, sending him in flames to the ground.

"Alph, get back to Home and tell Clara she'll have incoming." Alexi ordered. "And while you're there, get patched up."

Not having to be told twice, Alph disappeared in a dark corridor. Alexi squared his shoulders and got ready for what ever else the Light Army might throw at him.

 

{Casumi & JayCee: Elympios; Bar}

JayCee grunted his admission that Severa was probably right. Well, it should at least make the op easier. Casumi bowed her acceptance to Neena's offer. She knew well how Neena felt about her former home, and felt honored to go with the Assassin.

"Team?" She asked, looking around the bar.

 

{Scales: Twilight Town; Train Station}

The little dragon sighed inwardly. Why did he get no respect? Yes, he was much smaller then a normal dragon, but he was still a blasted dragon!

Humanoids.

Scales, already regretting not doing something to Brooklyn in the alley, considered just reducing him to ash and be done with it, but Cory still seemed to be still trying to stop the fight. He sure picked an odd one to follow this time. He launched himself into the air and went invisible again. A few moments later, Scales reappeared as he crashed into Brooklyn, knocking the boy to the ground. He growled in his ear, then jumped off, disappointed he couldn't do any actual barbecuing at the moment.

 

{Rho: Twilight Town; Beach}

Rho thought a moment.

"The only wind spells I was taught deal with defensive rather then attack." He explained. "Using wind to cushion against blows."

He rubbed the back of his head with his free hand, looking sheepish.

"Looks like I'm not going to be that good a teach after all."

As Scales backed off, he would find himself flowing through into the clear whitish grey of one of Brooklyn's portals, sending him directly to the handbag shop in the shopping district. "Handbag." Brooklyn growled, closing the portal.

[Saber Lily 1,543]

Zion landed on Milo's shoulders, her current favorite perch reclaimed.

"War, war, war. There are more things to life than war. The importance of Elympios can be historical, cultural, or sexual. Or food. Im hungry." She mused. "Anyways. It needs not have strategic importance to be important. Otherwise you're not important because you have no strategic value. I'm sure you'd contest your importance to others."

She patted Milo's head. "Why are we here anyways?"

[Elrandir 783]

{Lunaris}The Sniper was finally in the courtyard when she saw how a jet trooper fell to the ground in flames."Wow...Bossman is not kidding around." She thought.In a last sprint  she arrived with her boss. Giving a quick salute she used two small portals to summon a pair of guns."Nice to see you, Boss." She said. "I'm glad that you came. A few more minutes later and Alph and me would've been surrounded by more guards."She then, quickly tapped the device in her ear."Hotaru? Are you already at the rendezvous? Good. How about everyone else? No? But Cron and Azalea are....what do you mean she left? Mmhmm...what was that about a Void Witch? Hotaru? Sorry...the signal is acting up. I'll see you back at Home."With those last words Luna focused on her surroundings.{Hotaru}Hotaru was waiting with Azalea for the others to arrive."They are taking their time." He said. "I hope everything is alright with the others."Hotaru then remained quiet for a few minutes until his comm made a noise."Hotaru here. Yes, I'm already at the rendezvous. No idea. Yeah, I'm with Azalea, but Cron left some time ago. I don't know. She was talking on her phone and then something about a Void Witch came up and she just left. Luna? Luna, can you hear me? Stupid signal...Alright, I'll see you back at home."

[Javelin434 3,164]

"War, war, war. There are more things to life than war. The importance of Elympios can be historical, cultural, or sexual. Or food. Im hungry." She mused. "Anyways. It needs not have strategic importance to be important. Otherwise you're not important because you have no strategic value. I'm sure you'd contest your importance to others."

She patted Milo's head. "Why are we here anyways?"

Snider, Victoria, and Charlotte were all visibly upset when they heard Zion's remark about war. They were all jealous in a way for the girl, having apparently living in a time when the Light wasn't threatened to the point that she could think such thoughts. They yearned to know what that feeling of freedom was like, with Victoria wanting to know it the most having finally being liberated from the mental torture accidentally caused by Snider.

 

The three respectfully kept their mouths shut, but were thinking the same thing as they continued to follow Milo to wherever he was escorting them to. 

[Arya Stark 1,337]

[Milo]Milo smiled at Zion's words. In this day and age, no strategic importance meant no importance at all to the big guys. After a quick glance at Snider and his sergeants, they knew so as well. "Hey, I'll have you know I have a lot of strategic value!" Milo joked, not responding to the more serious part of her words. They had enough serious things to talk about. Milo reached a rock. It was large, and covered in dust. The Elementalist set Zion down, then kneeled himself. This was it. He blew and brushed off the dust. Carved into the rock was one word. Swanson. Milo stood, and turned. He looked at each in turn. Emily. Victoria. Charlotte. Snider. Zion."This is the significance of the world. I was born here. What do I mean here? There's no civilization for miles! No, I was not born out here in the middle of the desert. 15 years ago there was a village here. Simple, humble. Three hundred or so people living here, for no purpose other than to live. I was born here, and lived her for six years in relative peace. People talked about the keyblade, and our leaders, but not many people paid much attention. They're too far away. They won't care about us. In any case, one day some keybladers came. It was a small group, five or six, celebrating one of their's recent promotion to officer. They had gotten drunk at the main village, and were prancing around the world, showing off their keyblades, using magic. The officer went up to a man of Swanson. He was proud, hard working, had a family. Hadn't done a thing wrong. The officer asked him to kiss his boot. To kiss it. The man refused bluntly. Who wouldn't? This man had done nothing to gain respect in his eyes. The officer, enraged at the man's 'disobedience' stabbed him through the heart with his keyblade. The officer followed to order his friends to burn down everything and kill everyone. I was young. I had just watched this person kill a man, then proceed down the street doing the same. I got mad, and ran at him. He kicked me away. Probably broke some of my ribs. I was on the ground, immobile. The officer was about to kill me, and I raised my hands in defense. Before his keyblade could split me down the middle, some god out there committed an act of 'mercy'. Total Eclipse appeared in my hands, and his keyblade bounced off. The officer carried me off as I cried, watching my home burn, my family, friends, slaughtered. I went to the academy. At six, I've been the youngest ever to be in the academy. So I trained, and after getting old enough to understand what was going on, I looked up the village of Swanson. There was one sentence: Swanson burned down in a wildfire, and all inhabitants perished in the flames. Nothing else. Zion, I wanted you to know that the worlds are not well. They are being ruled by a society that gives respect and a superiority to those who have done nothing to deserve it. Of course, I am not saying the Dark is better than the light. Far from it. The Dark has committed more than it's share of atrocities as well. Those who do not wield a Keyblade are seen as trash, pawns, nothing more than cannon fodder and pleasure toys. By both sides. This is what I wished to show you. Take my story as you will, but it is the truth." Milo told his story. He waited to see how they would respond.[severa & Neena]Neena pointed towards Severa and JayCee. "Those two are accompanying me. Mercs. JayCee is good, I've worked with him in the past. And the girl, Severa. Well, JayCee vouched for her. And don't tell anybody but," Neena lowered her voice. "I think she was trained by Ryonne. She's got to be good if that's true right?" Neena said, then she stood. About time to get moving if they wanted to get there quickly. "Hey! I'm paying to keep watch, not nap! Now let's go." Neena called harshly to her mercenaries. The Assassin nodded towards Casumi, indicating she should come along, and quickly strode out of the saloon. After she left, Severa stuck her tongue out at Neena's back. She sighed as she stood. "This job better pay well with an employer like that." The Mercenary grumbled, following her client.[Hiroki]Hiroki crouched in the shadows. He had been watching and listening to people for a few minutes now. The huge talk of the town was the battle in the streets. After all, such a dramatic fight would bring attention. Some said that one of the fighters was an exotic Prince who was invincible. Great. Nikolai was being made out to be invincible due to Alba's shields. Whatever, that would help his legendary status as they continued to revolt. There was also talk of the Queen staying on world. Where was she though! That was what he needed to know. The Chosen One was dying for some vengeance. She had been keeping his world and so many more under martial law for a long time. Some bloodshed for their side would be nice.... No. He couldn't let his emotions control him so. He had trained for many years to rid himself of such troubles.[syfe & Leonarda]Syfe watched the whole thing go down. Whoever this girl was, she certainly wasn't typical. And she could prove very valuable, particularly if she wasn't in the databases. And that dragon... Such a creature was quite rare in this day and age. He saw Scales knock Brooklyn to the ground. Syfe spotted his opportunity, and jumped onto his opponent, pinning him to the ground. The Officer brought his pistol up to Brooklyn's nose. "I win." Syfe said, his tone challenging that Brooklyn contest the fact. "Even if you escape my grasp, which. I have no doubt you could, you must concede because I could have blown your head off at this point." Leonarda watched the Officer, and couldn't help but giggle as she cast Warp, bringing Scales back into the train station, none the worse for wear.

Dawn giggles slightly as she looks at Rho with a smile on her face. She walks over to Rho, and holds his hands. She looks at Rho's sheepish smile with a sheepish smile of her own. She can feel her Heart beat in happiness and excitement, something that she doesn't know why. "Don't worry Rho, just try your best. You'll be fine. Just be yourself." Said Dawn, talking to Rho with a cheerful tone in her voice.

Neena said, then she stood. About time to get moving if they wanted to get there quickly. "Hey! I'm paying to keep watch, not nap! Now let's go." Neena called harshly to her mercenaries. The Assassin nodded towards Casumi, indicating she should come along, and quickly strode out of the saloon. After she left, Severa stuck her tongue out at Neena's back. She sighed as she stood. "This job better pay well with an employer like that." The Mercenary grumbled, following her client.[Hiroki]Hiroki crouched in the shadows. He had been watching and listening to people for a few minutes now. The huge talk of the town was the battle in the streets. After all, such a dramatic fight would bring attention. Some said that one of the fighters was an exotic Prince who was invincible. Great. Nikolai was being made out to be invincible due to Alba's shields. Whatever, that would help his legendary status as they continued to revolt. There was also talk of the Queen staying on world. Where was she though! That was what he needed to know. The Chosen One was dying for some vengeance. She had been keeping his world and so many more under martial law for a long time. Some bloodshed for their side would be nice.... No. He couldn't let his emotions control him so. He had trained for many years to rid himself of such troubles.[syfe & Leonarda]Syfe watched the whole thing go down. Whoever this girl was, she certainly wasn't typical. And she could prove very valuable, particularly if she wasn't in the databases. And that dragon... Such a creature was quite rare in this day and age. He saw Scales knock Brooklyn to the ground. Syfe spotted his opportunity, and jumped onto his opponent, pinning him to the ground. The Officer brought his pistol up to Brooklyn's nose. "I win." Syfe said, his tone challenging that Brooklyn contest the fact. "Even if you escape my grasp, which. I have no doubt you could, you must concede because I could have blown your head off at this point." Leonarda watched the Officer, and couldn't help but giggle as she cast Warp, bringing Scales back into the train station, none the worse for wear.[Ryonne]The Swordsman flipped backwards, flowing with the blast, landing on his feet in a crouched position. He saw Cron's wound. Ooh, that one was bad. His healing magic was limited, but if he could stop the wound from closing and keep the nerves from dying, than a medic would be able to do a much better job in theory. Ryonne quickly cast a Cura spell on both the hand and the arm, hoping that would keep them fresh enough to get her to a medic. "Cron. Retreat. I can handle this." The Swordsman stated, his tone indicating that he thought highly of this advice. He also hadn't mentioned Stan. Ryonne dashed back into battle, sweeping with his scabbard at her legs, before coming up with a powerful slash at her chest. He back stepped to reset his stance, then stepped forward again, stabbing with his blade and swiping at Lacuna's head. Ryonne stepped sideways, then dashed sideways, slicing at her as he went across her body.

"Heh. Even I know that dosent work..." Sandrew muttered. "You don't seem to know Void as I use it. Sandrew once thought he got me with a similar tactic when the forced him to spar me. Quite simply put, don't try pulling the trigger. I used my Void to simply empty your clip." Brooklyn melted into the ground, another void portal dragging himself and Syfe through it, bringing them to the top of the tower. "Guns... such feeble weapons." He heated the bullets in his hand, where he had transported them, at the tips of them, making them Fuze together before the ending caps burst off of them in the loud explosions they're known for. "They don't call me a genius for nothing. I see every percentage and possibility broken down to the greatest and least likely chance based off of how that person acts. Your desperate to bring me to your little group, and took the opportunity that presented itself to win our match. I will concede, you are very good. Had you got me with that without my Keyblade summoned, I would have admitted defeat there. We both see how this fight would have ended if I hadn't brought us up here. You would have switched to your bladed mode and try to force surrender. I, on the other hand would have lit off a fireball between us and ended the match there at a draw." Brooklyn stared at the glistening sunset. "They say red is the color that travels the farthest of them all. I don't know about that myself, but I do know that sunset is the time where adventure sets up best. I will warn you: Sandrew isn't nearly as strong as either of us. He's not too willing to even do what he can half the time. It's not lazyness, he just seems haunted by the Keyblade and his powers. He's willing to use them if we need help, though. That, and the two of us will need to have another match some time soon, seeing as that girl and mini-to dah interupted our match here, I don't see it as either of us really having a opportunity to win on a level playing field until a later time. Deal?"

Stan

Stan grimaced as he looked at Cron's stub of an arm. Fortunately, Clara had taught Stan a thing or two about common battlefield injuries in their down time, including amputations. He could try saving Cron's hand, but it would be pointless. When the void blade cut off Cron's hand, it cauterized the wound in both her arm and hand, killing the cells around the wound. Of course, the cauterization also sealed Cron's injury, so bleeding to death wouldn't be an issue. But just to be safe, he needed to get her to Clara. However, he didn't know if Cron was in any condition to run at the moment, leaving him one other option. "Sorry about this." Stan said to Cron as he picked her up and slung her over his soldier, and then ran down the hallway back to the entry point. He had a feeling she wouldn't appreciate that, but at the moment, how she felt about him didn't matter to Stan.

 

Lee

By the time Lee arrived at entry point, he'd have time to sort out what to do about his new keyblade. He walked over to Azalea and Hotaru, "Ah, good to see you've both made it. The other three should come an any moment. Did anything interesting happen to you two during the mission?" he asked.

 

Clara

Clara lied on her bead, still trying to figure out why she saw what she saw back on the ship. If the person she saw was really a hallucination, than why would she hallucinate about him. She had no idea who he was, or if he even existed. "Oh well, maybe a little sleep will make things better." she said to herself, and shut her eyes.

 

Braxen

Braxen stood in a secluded grove within a deep jungle world. There were several fruit trees nearby, as well as clusters of brightly colored flowers, with a small stream gently flowing nearby. The grove was surrounded by giant trees to the east, north, and south, and a steep drop to the west, from which one could glimpse miles and miles of jungle, not to mention a downright breathtaking sunset nearly every evening.. He and Penny had found this beautiful little spot just over a year ago, while the two of them were out on a job hunting a fugitive. Penny had fallen in love with the place immediately, and frequently came here when she need some time alone. A few months ago, the two of them had talked about what one of them would do if the other had died. Penny told Braxen that if she died while they were still partners, she wanted him to bury her here, in the middle of this grove. Braxen gently placed Penny's body next to a tree, along with her keyblade, Ignited Resentment. He then summoned his own keyblade, Adrenaline Rush, pointed it at a patch of dirt and moss, and shouted, "Earth!", and some of the dirt rose up from the ground and landed a few feet to the right. Braxen wasn't very good at magic other than the ice variety, which meant he'd have to cast the spell a few more times to make the hole big enough to be a grave. Meanwhile, he thought about what he should do next.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Thet: Home; office building}After compiling lists and comparing timetables, Thet made her decision and closed her files. Taking a deep breath, she left her office and marched over to Quincy's."I'll be the fake Wielder." She said as she stepped into his work area. "How is the fake coming?"{Scales: Twilight Town; Market Square}It took Scales a few seconds to realize what happened. That humanoid was going to get it. The tiny dragon breathed a jet of white flames, burning a rack of handbags and blasting out a window. Bending light around him, Scales became invisible and fly out of the shop to return to Cory and the soon to be crispy Brooklyn. That was when he was returned to the Train Station by Leonarda and smacked into a column.{Ina: Disney Castle; Hanger}With the few guards still trying to use spells on her, Ina kept charging for a ship. It was a small, personal style transport. She only hoped she could hotwire it in time. "Close your eyes and cover your ears." She told Evie as she dropped an orb behind her as she ran. The orb bounced then rolled a foot before stoping. Once it stopped, it exploded in a flash of blinding light and a high pitched whine. The guards were caught unaware and went sprawling, with two of their five senses overloaded. Ina made it to the ship and slapped a small, flat Gummi block on the side of the Gummi ship. A little on it beeped a few times, the the hatch popped open. Grabbing the flat Gummi, Ina charged into the ship, slamming her fist into the hatch controls to close it. She deposited Evie in a chair and pushed on to the controls. She slapped her strange Gummi piece on the controls, where it sat and beeped."Come on, come on." She murmured.A green light flashed on the Gummi piece, indicated that the ship was unlocked. Ina's hands blurred as she punched up the controls and got the ship up. Using the ships blasters, she blew a hole in the hanger doors and flew out into space. Once they were out of atmo, Ina punched in hyperspace coordance and pulled the switch. Now safely in hyper space, Ina slumped in a chair and disengaged her armor. She looked back at Evie and gave her a smile."You still with me?" She asked.{Alexi: Disney Castle; Castle Wall}"Good to see I made it for the fireworks." Alexi replied to Lunaris. He looked out on the Light Forces amassing to come after the castle."They won't forget this soon." Alexi said softly, with a measure of statisfaction in his voice. As he watched the a tank and a column of troops started advancing."I sure hope your friend is hurrying." He said to Luna as he fired a dark Fira at a leading trooper. {Casumi & JayCee: Elympios; Bar}Casumi raised an eyebrow at Neena's theory about Severa's and Ryonne's connection. She glanced back at the mercenary, seeing some similarity in stance. The Shape Summoner followed the Assassin out, giving Severa and JayCee a friendly wave as she past. JayCee waved back then chuckled at Severa."If you worked on your non-violent people skills, you might get nicer clients." The outlaw joked as he followed after Neena.

[Ryonne]The Swordsman flipped backwards, flowing with the blast, landing on his feet in a crouched position. He saw Cron's wound. Ooh, that one was bad. His healing magic was limited, but if he could stop the wound from closing and keep the nerves from dying, than a medic would be able to do a much better job in theory. Ryonne quickly cast a Cura spell on both the hand and the arm, hoping that would keep them fresh enough to get her to a medic. "Cron. Retreat. I can handle this." The Swordsman stated, his tone indicating that he thought highly of this advice. He also hadn't mentioned Stan. Ryonne dashed back into battle, sweeping with his scabbard at her legs, before coming up with a powerful slash at her chest. He back stepped to reset his stance, then stepped forward again, stabbing with his blade and swiping at Lacuna's head. Ryonne stepped sideways, then dashed sideways, slicing at her as he went across her body.

(Lacuna vanished after taking off Cron's hand){Rho: Twilight Town; Beach}Rho looked up into Dawn's face, then chuckled."And I thought I was here to encourage you." He joked. He then took in a deep breath and pulled a hand away to twirl his numchuk. "Alright, let's give this a try." He smiled and pushed Dawn back from him."You might want to stay back for this." He warned.He twirled his weapon around, calling on wind magic. He spun it around and around, then flung it out. Only to have the Aero spell misfire and knock him off his own feet.{Alph: Home; Dormitory}Alph hobbled to Clara's room and banked on her door."Yo, patients here and in coming." He called through the door.
