Shulk 8,623 Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Andes Mountains "How did I become a llama?" Kuzco repeated Joel's question. "Someone turned me into one, and I need to get to my palace so I can become a human again. I don't know who did it, but I know that Yzma must have some sort of potion to turn me back. We'll just go into her 'secret lab' and find a potion. Now then, let's get moving." He began walking past Pacha, who sighed in response. "I suppose we'd better get moving, everyone." Pacha told the others, and followed Kuzco. Forward Unto Dawn Allitt groaned. "Just let me out of here already. This isn't exactly the most comfortable situation I've ever been in." She spoke angrily. She couldn't pull another trick on Zion at this point, so she was out of options... Mt. Olympus Indy sighed in relief as Orias began to take care of Rei. He sat down near the table, making sure to not let Rei out of his sight in case any surprise visitors dropped by. He began to patiently wait for her to be healed...

Firaga 5,947 Posted September 21, 2015 Raidyn / Toshi "Alright, Somreme. Well then, I guess that makes four of us," Raidyn said, counting Nexus as one person alongside himself, Toshi and Ember. "Okay now, the rest of us need to stick together." "That's right. We'll lead you to Thebes," Toshi added. Walking with their classmates, Raidyn and Toshi walked down the steps leading to the colisuem. They traveled and traveled until they had reached the city of Thebes. "Huh... come to think of it, I don't think I've ever read about this place," Raidyn thought aloud. "Really? This is going to be unfamiliar territory for us all..." Toshi commented. "Yep. Don't worry though, as long as we keep focus, things'll probably pan out the way we want them to." "I-I'm... I'm surprised you weren't more curious about exploring this place." "Well, I am... but you know, you and I being co-leaders and all, you gotta think more responsibly.""R-right... Co-leaders." "Speaking of that," Raidyn turned to the others, "Remember guys: we're lookin' for any strange activity that might be connected to the Seekers. Nobodies, Heartless, or any other weird stuff that might be going down: it's all something to keep an eye out for. Alright?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rikunobodyxiii 700 Posted September 21, 2015 Annistha looked to calm down a little when Somrene said he would be staying with Indy and Rei. With the SoL attacking so brazenly, it wouldn't do to leaving anybody anywhere without able back up. "Alright, if you need help, call us." Annistha told Somrene. She flashed him a thankful smile before following the others towards Thebes. [Nexus Shift] Zather jogged forward so that he was near the front of the group. His eyes never stopped moving as he looked for threats that were doubtless out there, ready to spring. He rested his Keyblade on his shoulder and kept his left hand close to the grip of the Gunblade. "Bets on our attacker being part of what's going on here versus an assassin stalking this team in particular?" He asked while keeping up his vigil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reyn 1,755 Posted September 21, 2015 Lucas was ecstatic at the chance to get to go a real royal palace. "Wow! This is gonna be amazing!" He ran up to the Llama and began questioning him about what the palace was like. "So what's your palace like? Do you got mounds of gold everywhere? Is there like wax clean floors all around, and statues of you in your magnificence and stuff like that?" He said with a goofy grin. "Oh and uh, sorry for petting you before, your majesty..." He added sheepishly at the end as he walked alongside him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingdomhearts45 469 Posted September 21, 2015 "Is it just me or does this sound like a Frog-Princess story where the prince is cursed to turn into a frog until a princess kisses him? I'd say this similar to that...Except there isn't a princess and it's MUCH longer. But cooler though!" Saki said walking with his arms behind his head. "So what's it like? Being a llama and all? Is it cool? Do you get to use animal instincts? Do you like being a llama?" Saki asked the Emperor Kuzco. 1 Xiro reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nero Kunivas 3,046 Posted September 21, 2015 -Artemis Thornton- Artemis's expression was somewhat dumbfounded. "....an llama Emperor.....and here I thought I had seen everything." He noted, shaking his head slightly before walking along with everyone else. "I would presume you view your...condition, as a curse, Emperor?" Artemis asked, fully expecting a particular answer. -Luna "Nephilim" Urbane- "I'm sure there are weirder things than Emperor llama over there....such as the Seekers of Light!" She jested, following the others. 1 Xiro reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrapmaster 1,731 Posted September 23, 2015 -Maximilian- Maximilian didn't even ask any questions, he didn't have anything to say, at all, he knew there was magic around, but turning people into animals was a new one, at least to him. He simply sighed and followed the others as he smirked a bit as Luna said something, "Well we had a heartless fall in love with one of us, doubt it'l go farther than that..." he said.

Saber Lily 1,543 Posted September 25, 2015 Forward Unto Dawn Zion flicked Allitt's forehead, then floated up. "There." She said. "So, your name's Allitt Caelum. Fascinating...why did you leave the Academy?" She asked Stalwart Dawn Orias's avatar turned to Indy. "She will be fully healed in ten minutes, young man. She might be woozy and out of it for a minute or two, so just get her sitting up and breathing in air. And keep her from fighting for a bit, let her regain her strength. That was a bad cut...an expert cut." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingdom Key D 160 Posted September 26, 2015 Aello's attention drifted for a moment as she watched a tumbleweed float across the jungle, mouth open in shock and amazement. This was not a place she had expected to find one of those awesome plants in... She quickly snapped back to reality, shouting her agreement to Joel's decision. "Alright! To the temple!" She pointed randomly like a dramatic adventurer before pausing. "Um... Which way is it again?" 1 Josuke Higashikata reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arya Stark 1,337 Posted September 26, 2015 Somrene watched the group leave before turning to the ship and walking inside. He found Indy with the Orias AI and the wounded Rei. "Is she going to be alright?" He asked suddenly, not pausing to say why he was here instead of with the others. He walked forwards towards the table and watched the medical machines work. He leaned against a different table, watching the lights move as they restored her body. Ember followed behind Raidyn, Toshi, and Zather. She cleared her throat before attempting to answer Zather's thought. "She had the same kind of look as the woman we saw back in Twilight Town. That would mean she's a Seeker of Light, right?" She hazarded a guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shulk 8,623 Posted September 27, 2015 Andes Mountains Kuzco was getting bothered by all of the questions. "I have a nice palace, I hate being a llama, blah, blah. Less talking, more moving. We need to get to my palace as soon as possible, and I don't have time to answer so many questions." He spoke in an annoyed tone, and continued moving ahead. "Last time I checked, you're all supposed to be protecting me. Not bothering me." Pacha looked a little angry with Kuzco. "You know, we could all just leave you at any time if we wanted to." Pacha told Kuzco, trying to get him to quit with his insults. "And I could still go and have your village relocated when I get back. I wouldn't go running off on me just yet." Forward Unto Dawn "Yes, that's my name. How do you know so much about me?" Allitt asked angrily. "By the way, I told you to let me out of here." Mt. Olympus When the group reached the bottom of the stairs, they arrived in a plaza with a fountain in the center. There were still people walking around nervously, although this area was much more heavily populated. Upon arriving in this area, a scream could be heard in the direction of a few buildings not too far away... Stalwart Dawn "Got it. Thanks, Orias." Indy sighed in relief. He was happy that Rei would be okay. However, he was surprised when Somrene suddenly entered. "Uh... yeah, she will. What are you doing here, though? I thought you were with the others..." He asked curiously, a bit startled by the sudden company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She hazarded a guess. "That's a good point, guys. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to show up in person. From what I gathered from the others, that happened quite a lot in Twilight Town." Raidyn said. "With that in mind, I'm sure they'll be much harder to deal with than Heartless or Nobodies." There were still people walking around nervously, although this area was much more heavily populated. Upon arriving in this area, a scream could be heard in the direction of a few buildings not too far away... "Did you guys hear that? There was a scream coming from other there!" Toshi said, pointing towards said direction of noise. "Well, looks like we got our first lead. Let's check it out!" Raidyn commanded, he and Toshi leading the others towards the spot of interest.

rikunobodyxiii 700 Posted September 27, 2015 *Tumbleweed* (whatcha tumbleweeding for? Rei's been mortally wounded and there are screams to follow.)The sound of the scream made Zather smirk for a moment. If you left the prey to their own devices, they'd always give away their position. Taking up a position near the middle of the group, Zather pulled out his Gunblade as he ran along with the others. he kept looking to the roof tops and allies, ready for an ambush if the screams turned out to be bait. 1 Firaga reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingdomhearts45 469 Posted September 27, 2015 "Looks like somebody's a very cranky ruler." Saki commented while walking with Lisa right by him. "So why are you helping him? Are you trying to make just a little more nicer?" Saki asked Pacha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cam1949 21 Posted September 28, 2015 As this is all this was happening the whole time every time Kuzco, Zar's murderous aura acted up. He got to the point where he was grabbing his weapons to take them out. But stopped himself, he would have to constantly keep himself in check. "Why not just do it?" Raz asked. "Because our mission is to help this area and this isn't helping." Zar said to Raz, trying really hard to keep himself in check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrapmaster 1,731 Posted September 29, 2015 "So we're escorting an emperor turned llama, not only that but we're in the company of Lisa! the heartless who somehow got emotions." He whispered the last part to whoever was near him as he walked along with the team, "I wonder if the seekers are even here..." he commented as he looked around as he walked, analyzing the areas they walked by, pherhaps when they got to this palace, they would actually find something worthwhile.

Joel had to stifle a fit of laughter after hearing Kuzco's and Pacha's rather threatening banter. He was also close enough to hear Max's comments. "Let's hope that there's a Seeker or two lurking about. Well, not like it's good if they should be here causing trouble and stuff, but we didn't get much prime-time action back in Twilight Town, y'know?" Joel responded, trying to coherently voice his mixed feelings on the matter. 1 Shulk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saber Lily 1,543 Posted October 4, 2015 -Zion- The teacher sighed and, surprisingly, undid the chains. She teleported Allitt to the surface. "Run. Train. Because next time, you die kid."

Shulk 8,623 Posted October 4, 2015 Andes Mountains Pacha looked over at Saki. "Well... He's trying to build his new summer home over my village, and I agreed to do this only if he moves his home somewhere else." After taking a quick glace at Kuzco, he leaned closer to the student. "I believe that everyone has at least a little kindness in their heart, and that Kuzco is no exception. I couldn't really turn down someone who's in need, either..." He confessed. The llama didn't seem to notice what Pacha had said, although he seemed a little annoyed that Pacha was whispering something to the new followers. "Hey, I hope you're not scheming something. I'm the emperor, you need to take me back safely. If anything happens to me, the entire kingdom will be after you." "Yes, sure, Kuzco." Pacha sighed. As for what Maximillian and Joel had been discussing, as if on cue, a certain newly freed cloaked figure was running to find the students. Allitt eventually found them, and stayed in the trees to avoid being spotted. If I follow them, I'm sure to find one of my allies somewhere... I'll just have to make sure they don't see me. Of course, if they do, I'm sure I can work my way around a fight... She smirked as she watched the group move onward once again. Zion's threat hadn't bothered her one bit. She'd make sure that if they met again, she'd be the one on top this time. After walking for a while, the group of students escorting the llama emperor eventually came across a rickety bridge. A few boards were missing, and it looked like it could fall at any moment. Pacha peered over the drop ahead of them, and could clearly see a rather long drop down to a dangerous looking river. "This... will be a problem." He sighed. "So... who's going first?" He looked around at the rest of the group. Mt. Olympus When the group arrived at the scene where the screaming had occurred, they could notice a group of Rabid Dog Heartless surrounding a few native citizens. Upon the arrival of a larger group, a few of the dogs turned towards the students. They began barking, and a few of them leaped towards the Keyblade wielders, prepared to bite them. A few in particular targeted Raidyn and Toshi, as they seemed to be the ones leading the group, and the closest targets. Meanwhile, some of the other Rabid Dogs moved in to attack the innocent citizens, who began pleading for the students to save them. Stalwart Dawn Indy jumped out of his seat when Rei got back up. "Y-you're okay...?" He asked, looking concerned. However, he calmed down. He was sure Orias had healed her properly. Instead, he decided to answer her question. "W-we got attacked by a robed person... They were targeting me, but you... you took the attack for me." He suddenly looked a little angry. "Rei... I'm the one who was put in charge of this group. I should be the one taking risks like that, it's my job to make you safe..." It was obvious at this point that he was still blaming himself for Rei's injuries. "N-next time, leave those people to me... Okay?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raidyn said, alerting the group and summoning his Keyblade. He and Toshi blocked the attack of the Rabid Dogs and fended back their initial strike. Raidyn took the fist move and slashed through both the Rabid Dogs at once. "Everyone, clear out! You need to get somewhere safe! Don't worry, we'll take care of these guys!" Raidyn called to the citizens as he and the rest of the group continued to battle. Toshi was managing herself a lot better than she was previously, fighting with swift and calculated strikes, though still having trouble reacting and counter-attacking. Even so, her determination was not diminished. I can't look bad in front of him... not if I want to keep up, she thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A few boards were missing, and it looked like it could fall at any moment. Pacha peered over the drop ahead of them, and could clearly see a rather long drop down to a dangerous looking river. "This... will be a problem." He sighed. "So... who's going first?" He looked around at the rest of the group. Joel looked down along with Pacha. "...Welp." In Joel's mind, there were two ways that the group could try to traverse the bridge. They could slowly cross it one person at a time, in an attempt to ensure that the bridge would be able to carry its load. However, if the bridge gave way at any point, it would be quite difficult for anyone to save the unfortunate soul that would end up falling into the river. The other option was to have one person begin crossing at set intervals. The bridge would end up being under more stress, but it would be easier for someone to dive in and save someone else from falling to their probable doom. "... Alright, I'll go first. Once I'm... a fourth of the way there, the next person should start moving, and once they're a fourth of the way there, the next person goes, and so on. That way, if the bridge breaks, you can either grab someone, or we can all fall together," Joel explained to the group. "Also, the lighter you are on your feet, the better, I guess." Joel then turned to face the bridge. He took a deep breath and slowly placed his foot on the first plank of the bridge. Nothing happened. He then took another step, putting his whole weight onto the bridge. The bridge creaked a bit, but after a moment it was still again. Joel turned to the others and gave them a thumbs up, then slowly resumed his journey across the bridge, while silently praying that nothing bad would happen.

kingdomhearts45 469 Posted October 4, 2015 "Ohhhh, I see. So he's one of those characters." Saki whispered back. While they were walking, Lisa's left ear twitched. Her eyes blinked. She was hearing something rustling. She looked to the side facing the trees. Saki, on the other hand, looked concerned and confused looking at Lisa. "Hm? Something wrong Lisa?" He asked. The Heartless tightened her sling shot just in case. Lisa was beginning to notice a follower...She made a quick look towards where Allit was, but soon faced back to the path up ahead. Once they stop at the bridge and Pancha asked the question, Saki immediately raised his hand. "I'll go! I'll go! Hee hee!" He said smiling. He looked towards Lisa. "Are you coming with me Lisa?" He said. But Lisa wasn't looking at Saki this time. She was looking at the trees. She couldn't help but have the feeling someone else is with them. Saki looked a little confused with his smile disappearing. "Umm....Okay, I guess you aren't coming...?" Saki said. "What's up with you right now? I'm getting worried..."

He slashed down a Rabid Dog to the ground with his Gunblade, then stabbed it dead with his Keyblade. {Nexus Shift} Annistha flipped over her embedded Keyblade, transforming the Gunblade as she vaulted through the air. When she landed, she pulled her Keyblade out of the ground, swinging it over her head, then leveling it and the Gunblade at the Heartless going after the civilians. She opened fire with Ruin spell and bullets, tryint to cut down as many of the monsters before they got to the people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
