OCC: There's only 5 in Council5. lol!
OCC: SWEET!...er...I mean thanks.You're a lifesaver. Just identify which ones you'll be and you can name them if you want.
OOC: Huh? Hmm....I guess so. (Darn, now I gotta control 9 characters. no biggie) anyways, just in case anyone wants to play the role of one of the council members, its open (thats why I never gave them names). If not thats fine too...
EE Lord: You must be mistaken...I am not speaking of some dream in the sky. I'm speaking of the true Kingdom Hearts, a tangeable kingdom. I'll have nothing to do with those disasters. It is because of fools trying to attain such things that the worlds are in such disarray today. He paused and looked over the two. EE Lord: Surely you've heard the historic recount, maybe even lived during the times. Once all the worlds were ruled over by a just and kind ruler...a Queen, who's throne was in a Twilight Castle to balance the light and dark. But there was one world hidden from even her eyes. From that world, the threat of the heartless spread and despite her best efforts, the slightest imbalance caused the fall of this Kingdom Hearts. The symbol in the sky above, a heartshaped moon was also called by the name Kingdom Hearts as a memorial to the lost kingdom, but soon it vanished from the sky. That is how things came to be as they are now. Those fools who chased after the moon had no idea of the lost history. Not many do. After 100s of years I guess everyone began to forget. But there in the sky just recently, a voice uttered a dark prophesy as stary night became blackened: Return all that was lost to the Kingdom of Hearts, lest its former glory be taken and all worlds meet the Kingdom of End. ------------------------------------------- C5-1: I guess you're not too happy right now, but you are right. I apologize. This is your world. You should be free to choose who governs you. I acted rather hastily. Darn...Lord Shaista's not gonna be happy about this? C5-3: About what? You screw up again? C5-1: Hey, dont you have stuff to do? C5-3: Just shows how efficient I am at my work. Now, what'd you do? Council5 Member 3 looks around and sees all the destruction. C5-3: OOOOOO!!! You did this? You're gonna be in so much trouble! C5-1: Hey, I reported it, didnt I? C5-3: You reported that you took care of the Queen. You didnt say anything about killing her! C5-5: Hey, stop yelling will ya. Ah, so this is what you've been doing 1. C5-1: Sigh, you guys... C5-5: I dont recall Master Shaista ordering a masacre, today. C5-1: You guys always...yes, I know I screwed up. maybe i should just commit a Seppuku right now, so Idont have to see his face... C5-5: Dont be such a drama queen. Come on...(looks back at the group) We apologize for our comrad. He has no tact. Please, dont hold this against Master Shaista. I guess 1 was the wrong man for the mission. I'm sure Shaista will be along later to apologize (turns back to 1). Come on. We'll help you explain yourself to Shaista. (opens a portal and vanish)
EE Lord looks up, abit surprised to see his guest back so soon. EE Lord: So, you returned...and you broughta friend. (Council may adjorn for now.) The council disperses EE Lord: So you wish to know what I know. Well for starters, I know you and your body are both looking for a way to your end. It must be something unbearable to have to live on like this forever and ever. Like I said before, its nearly at hand. I've actually been working towards the same goal, but not in the same capacity, for you see the end is but another beginning. Once I reunite all the kingdoms under one rule, You will be freed from your painful existence and a new era of peace and prosperity will begin. Now, I'm not one to so loosely make requests of others, but it is much more sufficient to work together since your goal and mine coincide. But if you wish, you can continue on searching for a way on your own, but if we work together, we will be able to rewrite all the rules. If you have any questions about it, please feel free to ask. --------------------- Sankai looked over at the guy they met on the way to the courtyard. "Well, I'm not really sure. I mean this guy is taking control of the situation. What do you think Crysalis?"
Collesium.... Enigmatic Emperor: #4, what do you believe in? C5-4: Uh! My lord, I believe in you and your ability to bring everyone together. EE Lord: Do you really think I'm that capable? C5-2: Of course my lord...and we will do all we can to aid you. C5-5: For the future C5-3: I feel like we should be toasting...ha ha ha. EE Lord: I thank you, my good friends. I know with you by my side, I can do anything. C5-5: Of course, and thats why we'll succeed where your father failed. He didn't have good friends to rely on. Only tricks and underhanded methods. You are greater than your father ever was and will soar even higher. EE Lord: Thank you, my friends...but one thing? C5-2: What, master? EE Lord: we're friends, so lets stop using these titles when referring to each other. Only when totally necessary, ok guys? Council 5 (minus one member): OK, Shaista! C5-3; Can I still call you Shaista-sama? I like calling you Shaista-sama!
C5-1: Calm down. Calm down. I'm on your side. Besides, didnt I already say that Wonderland would be under the authority of Lord Shaista. I thought I just did. Maybe I didnt. Lord Shaista will rule, but I am to delegate for Lord Shaista. Of course I will be receiving my orders directly from the Master himself, as he wont be able to govern directly. In other words, I'll be running things on behalf of Emperor Shaista. Get the picture now?
C5-1: I'm sure you've already met...Lord Shaista. Did he not tell you himself that he'd be freeing the people? Sankai froze for a moment. "Shaista...is this how you go about your business?" C5-1: I apologize for what had to happen, but it was for the people. I'm sure you understand? Master Shaista has been investigating Wonderland and other's condition and he found that the people here lived in oppression. Since noone else was wiling to act, he decided to take things into his own hands.
Hakumei, who had been chasing after the bunny ran into Sankai and Crysalis, but before anywords could be exchanged, a gate appeared before the queen's remains. Out stepped Council Member 1. C5-1: Ah, so I see a small crowd has gathered. I guess you're all wondering what happened here arent you? The groups thoughts were shown on their faces. C5-1: Lord Shaista sent me to liberate the Wonderland from the queen of mean, so I appeared here and asked her to step down so that greater leadership could take control and lead the people here into the future. Naturally she was sour about the whole thing and sent her cuards after me. I offered her a peaceful solution, but she wouldnt let up, so I had no choice but to defend myself. Too bad for her...and now, Master Shaista has sent me to establish the new leadership as delegate over Wonderland for the time being.
EE Lord: I guess he's not one to be toyed with. Oh well. And here I thought I'd do him a favor. Council5 Assemble for status report. ------------------ C5 member 1: Darn...it was just getting interesting.(Opens portal to the collesium) ------------------ EE Lord: Begin C5-1: Oh ho...young master has been busy. Well, I've done my part. All that's left now is for "someone" to step in and guide the people of Wonderland. EE Lord: Is that so? C5-1: Yessir. EE Lord: Then let it be so. #2? C5-2: Preparations for the gateway have been completed.Moving onto phase 2. EE Lord: Excellent. 3 and 5? C5-3: We've comenced the operation. The search has also been started. C5-5: Cultivation of the Catalyst is 15% complete. EE Lord: Excellent. You've all done so well. Join me for a moment. My tournament is about to start. #1, tie up any loose ends in Wonderland and come back so you can enjoy the show, too. C5-1: Of course. ----------------------- Sankai looked at the rabbit. "The animal spoke...well I guess its not that strange seeing as that purple creature could speak riddles and things."
The Collesium: EE Lord: Well, someone's in a shoty mood. Fine then (snaps his fingers) You can leave anytime, but know this...that which you seek is nearly in your grasp. ------------------- Wonderland: Courtyard: C5 Member 1: Oh...an interesting development. Lets see how this plays out. ------------------- Wonderland: Garden: Sankai thought about the quest before him as he watched Crysalis planting the seeds she found. He had thought of asking her to travel with him, but such a request would be too selfish on his part. He began to think to himself how much she fit into the picturesque Wonderland before him. She is guardian over the garden. But he didn't want to part from her. Somehow he'd become attached to another person without knowing it. But still, there are some things one must do, but this had nothing to do with her. She didn't need to take any uneccessary risks for his benefit. Still... Suddenly a little rabbit came hopping into the garden. "Crysalis!!!! Crysalis, help! We have trouble! Trouble! Trouble!"
Sankai turns and sees Crysalis outside looking around the garden. "Hey, what are you looking for?" He smiled, satisfied that he could open a gate on the first attempt, glad that the power was incorporated into the TruthSeeker, and also determined to master the gate ability. ------------------------------- At the collesium... Council5 Member 4: Don't be so uptight, Mr. Elemental Warrior. You're a special guest at the tournament starting today. You've been invited by the new Master of the Underworld, EE Lord. Sitting across the other side of the collesium, sitting in the place of authority was none other than The Enigmatic Emperor himself. EE Lord: Welcome Elemental Warrior to the Doom Dome Tournament.
Outside, Sankai unshethed TruthSeeker. As he was about to try out the power of the PathFinder, he stopped as he felt a feeling. It wasnt his, but the feelings of someone else. He looked off into the distance, but saw noone, so he shrugged it off. Focusing only on a single point in the area, he took in a deep breath and swung his large blade, which extended and began to twist and spin and gyrate, building up positive and negtive energy until a gateway was formed by the coiling sword. Through the gate, he saw into a world with a different type of living structure. It appeared to be a community of some kind. Their buildings were also different, not being parts of trees. Much of the surface looked to be hard like THE END but smooth. He wondered what he would find in such a world. Drawing his sword back to his sheath, the gate closed and Sankai was somewhat content. "Hmm...impressive. I'll put it to good use." ----------------------------------------------------- Council5 Member 1: Well, I thought this would be interesting, but you were worthless even for a laugh. Oh, well. Mission accomplished. He began walking away from the court that had become desolate after the short battle with the Queen of Hearts, in which he layed waste her and her entire cuard army. On his way into the garden, he spotted a young man walking alone, looking like an outcast. C5 Member 1: What do we have here? He vanished into the shadows to watch the lone stranger as he trudged through the area. C5 Member 1: It looks like the only fun I'll have here is seeing this boy's reaction to the scene I set up at the court. Maybe I can get a few laughs in.
"Oh...well, I guess this could be of some use to me then...and to others also." He put the keyblade away. He went back to the pathfinder. Holding it in one hand and TruthSeeker in the other, he began to think hard about them both. Deep in thought, Sankai surmised that it would be a burden to have to carry PathFinder. But it would be useful. TruthSeeker responded to his openness by extending on its own, coiling around Pathfinder. It yanked it from Sankai's hand and absorbed it into itself. "Hey, wait a minute, what'd you just do? Where's PathFinder?" TruthSeeker glowed. "Did you eat it?" TruthSeeker responded with a flicker of light. then went back to normal. Sankai began to laugh,"You are one unique blade, TruthSeeker...hey, Crysalis. I'm gonna go outside for alittle bit." "I'll test it...the power to open portals..."
Sankai looked down and saw Tigereyes still clinging to him, looking up at him with big wide eyes. "Sigh...come on little guy." Back at Crysalis' house, he sat down on the floor and began to examine the path finder more closely. He looked at TruthSeeker. "Hmm....so pathfinder can open gates to other worlds. TruthSeeker, you guide me on the path to truth. With these, I may just be able to find what I'm looking for. But Keyblade....what is this? Hey, Crysalis, you said something about keyblade earlier. Can you tell me anything about it?" -------------------------------- Council5 member 1: Target acquired As the Queen sat down on her throne, barking out her usual orders, the cloaked individual appeared before her court. Council5 member 1: Queen of Hearts, ruler of Wonderland...under the authority of the Enigmatic Emperor, I have been sent to dethrone you. Your tyranical reign is over. Queen: You fool! Do you really think you can take this away from me?! Cuards, get rid of this lunatic! The queen's loyal cuards surround the intruder, who stands smuggly in the midst of the armed flat-people. With a sigh, he drew his hand from inside the cloak and snapped his fingers. Flames burst forth from the ground, engulfing the cuards. He then raised his eyes towards the queen as a smurk came over his face. Queen: Lowsy good for nothings. I see I'll have to eliminate you myself!!!!!
"Ara?" Sankai looks bewildered as the guy leaves in another portal. He looks down at the two gifts he received. "Key...blade? Hmm...." He looks over at Crysalis. "Crysalis, are you alright?" He asked as he walked over to her.
"OK, here goes!" Sankai whips out Truth Seeker and leaps into the portal. Before he reaches the vortex, he enters a dance-like sequence with Truth seeker extending around him in a spiral as he decended within the vaccum. Because his revolution was opposite that of the vortex, he was able to reverse the flow of the current. As he spun round and round inside the weakening twister, Sankai began to reflect upon the past two years. Waking up inside that strange shipreck, not knowing who he was...wandering The End of The World aimlessly...knowing nothing about anything...having noone but the truthseeker to guide his path...meeting that man who vanished from before his eyes...countless battles with the creatures of the dark...the day he decided to travel to other worlds to seek his own truth...Ending up in Wonderland. All these images passed through his mind. In an instant, it was done. Propelling himself from the vortex, he shredded it with the Dance of the Blade Living. "OK, you can close it now." he looked towards the guy who stood by near the portal.
The wheels started turning inside Sankai's mind as he contemplated how to deal with the problem. He looked back and apparently, the guy from earlier had begun trying to close the portal. That could be a problem,he thought as he started playing through scenerios in his head. If the guy closes the portal while the vacuum is still active, it would probably mean that the whatever was trapped between the two worlds would remain whereever it was. If he could reverse the vacuum's current, then terminate it after everything was reverted to normal, then the portal could be safely closed without damage to either worlds. The problem is how to do it. Sankai had never done anything like this before, but he wasn't about to give up yet.
After Sankai's spirit subsided, he regained consciousness. "WATER?! Where'd this come from?" Sankai looked around. "Oh, boy. I dont know how to move underwater" Sankai thought for a moment and began scanning the area until his eyes fell on the quantum bubble that had formed a vacuum in the portal. "That must be the cause. I wonder if..." He struggled to try to get down to the portal, but it was difficult for him to manuever. He reached for truth seeker and used its extending features to draw himself near the portal.
OCC: Okay, lets chill out, shall we? This is supposed to be fun, so lets not get heated in here, kay? As Sankai got outside, Tigereyes still tightly clinging to his leg, he saw a guy opposite Crysalis. "Who's this guy?" Sankai asked. "Is he the one who caused the earthquake?" A portal formed. Sankai didn't realize until Crysalis shuffled out of its range, but by the time he realized, the portal had latched onto him and was trying to pull him in. "What's this? A portal!" He looked up at the scene unfolding bfore him as was drawn deeper and deeper into its grasp. Everything began to become hazy. "Darn it...no,wait!" Sankai's spirit manifested and he went unconscious. He then clasped his hands together then touched the portal with one hand and the ground with the other. Suddenly, the time-space became distorted, but in the process of freeing himself from the current of the portal, a chain reaction occured as a result of the space-time destortion making contact with the portal, causing Wonderland to begin merging with whatever world was on the other side of the portal. OOC: how's that for a plot development? lol!
