<For over a decade, the worlds have been rocked by Dark attacks. Orchestrated by the Dark Keyblade Master Xehanort, these attacks were designed to bring about another Keyblade War, but that isn't the only result. Other beings, craving power and control, have begun moving to take advantage of the chaos to exert their own wills. The witch Maleficent is but the tip of the spear of these threats, leaving the hero Sora and the other 7 Lights frantically trying to fight on multiple fronts. You can change that. Recently, you were either given or found a note, challenging you to make a difference. To protect what you care about and drive back the Dark. If you have the heart, you are invited to meet in Traverse Town's First District, where you will meet others like you. Are you ready, Vanguard?> Sign-ups: http://kh13.com/forum/topic/102451-kingdom-hearts-vanguard-rebirth/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Across the worlds, an air of tension seemed to permeate. Aware or not of the encroaching darkness, people feel uneasy. The crab Sabation tells his musicians to take a break from rehearsal, since they were all hitting sour notes. He'd normally be more angry, but even he can feel something is off. On the main island of Destiny Islands, a young man in a beanie and dark sunglasses moves through a market uneasily, and not just from his discomfort with the setting. In the headquarters of the Radiant Garden Restoration Committee, Merlin and Cid bicker as they try to work together to upgrade the CLAYMORE system for magical integration. Aerith can tell this is more than their differing views fueling this arguement. With the worlds so on edge, it wouldn't take much to push them off. And many shapes in the shadows prepare to give that push... {Traverse Town; First District} Vaner added a little milk to his tea and stirred. He was seated at the little cafe in the main square of District One, with a good view of the square and the doors to the arrival area of the world. He too could feel the tension, but he was use to it. He sometimes wondered if he had ever truly been at peace, but usually dismissed these thoughts as fear and anger talking. Though it had been getting worse of late, but he was doing something about it now. He just had to wait to see what resources he had to work with. As Vaner took a sip of his tea, Stella exited an old item shop and joined him at his table. "Are stores of curatives should last as awhile, even if the worst comes to the worst." She said, adjusting her position in her chair. "I thought I'd double check." "Sounds good." Vaner said, not sure if he should mention the three times he checked. Setting down his tea, the Vanguard Master watched Stella for a moment. He was generally good at reading people, and the young lady was radiating worry. "Relax." He told her in a gentle tone. "Deep breaths. This isn't that different from what you told my of your adventures on your world." "Except there is more on the line." Stella answered, in a tone that was more factual than emotional. "I might not have known it in my head, but my heart knew there was more to the universe than just Eos. Now, I'm trying to protect them all." There was a moment of silence before Vaner spoke. "You could go back." He said in a soft tone. "Make a new place on Eos. No blame would be on you if you tried." "No." Stella said firmly. "Too much is at stake to back out now." She looked up at what seemed to be just another star, then back to Vaner with a penetrating look. "And it wouldn't truly ease the ache to return to your own world you feel." She added simply. Vaner's jaw tightened, then he took another sip of tea to cover it up. Sometimes he wished she wasn't as good as reading him as he was of her. Before Vaner had to come up with a reply, the entrance doors of Traverse Town cracked open, and a young man walked in, eyes wide. "Whoa!" Nilas said, his eyes full of wonder at this new world. He was still marveling at the skyline when a clearing of a throat dragged his attention to ground level and to the two people sitting at a small table. One, an older man, gave Nilas a pilots smile, while the other, a blonde woman, gave a smile and a wave. "Hey!" Nilas called out, running over to the duo. "This where the secret meeting for enemies of darkness is being held?" "Sort of." Vaner replied. "But more complicated." "I'm Stella." Stella introduced herself. "And this is Vaner. Nice to meet you, Nilas." Nilas eyes grew wide. "You know my name?" He asked, agog. "Yes." Vaner said with a slight chuckle. "We invited you."

(Sign ups still open and ready for business here: http://kh13.com/forum/topic/84073-young-justice-outsiders-sign-ups-discussion/ ) Aqualad stood in the middle of the main hub of the rebuilt base in the heart of Mount Justice, looking up at the big holographic screens set up for easy access and missions briefings. It felt good to be back here in the old base, even if everything in it was new. It felt like home to the young hero. "And this Intergang drop sight matches what you managed to find at Vandel Savage's base?" he asked as he studied a map layout of the city Bludhaven. "Yep. With we got was incomplete, but Robin's added info, we got the time and place." The voice of Oracle said through the speaker system in the main hub. A video link to the young red headed hacker was off in the lower left corner of the screen. She gave Aqualad a grin. "And if our stool pigeon sqwaked right, there is some off world tech just sitting around there." she continued. The Team's leader nodded. With the information Robin had passed along from a Titan investigation, The Team could get in there, take a peak, and confiscate or destroy what they found there. "Guards?" Aqualad asked. "Three goons on patrol is all surrounding cameras can see." Oracle reported. "But it's never that easy." "No, it never is. But if it was easy, we wouldn't be needed." Kaldur'ahm reached out with a webed digit and tapped a holographic button, activating Mount Justice's intercomm system. "Mission briefing in five minutes." He said in his normal, calm tone. ________________ Kendra Saunders stared at the reflection of herself in the girls showers in Mount Justice, it having a big enough mirrior for her to see most of her wings when they were unhurled. With all of her past life peeling away, she couldn't help but resent her new, white feathered appendages. She had been normal, now what was she? "Like you were okay with it all." she thought as she stared into her own eyes. Her life hadn't been smooth sailing before this, with some bouts of depression in her history. Now she had a direction and a purpose that made her feel alive, but the way she lost her old life, lies and all, wasn't right. She needed answers. Relaxing her wings, Kendra leaned on one of the sinks, resting her head against the mirrior. "Just some answers..." she whispered. Her private problems were interupted by Aqualad's announcement. Pulling herself together with the kind of resolve she had seen in her mentors, Hawkman and Hawkwoman, Kendra stood up straight and pulled her helmet off a nearby sink and put it on. "Show time." Hawkgirl said to her reflection, then left the girl's restroom for the briefing.
