"Get em Pluto!" Ananta said, watching the dog run over and bite at Pete's leg. With Minnie back with the group, Ananta nodded as she was escorted away by Mickey, Goofy, and Donald. "Now I don't need these." Ananta said. She gripped her musketeer outfit and ripped it off, tossing them at the tall Beagle Boy that Kel had attacked. He was taken by surprise, trying to remove the clothes and hat. When he had removed them, Ananta was already rushing forward with a Blizzard spell ready to freeze the Beagle Boy. Using her keyblade to lay some pain on this Beagle Boy, she finally froze him with her Blizzard spell. He was now a Beaglcicle. Tall Beagle Boy 49/100 BP
@Misty stole my soul years ago ;-;
sephiroth is much easier compared to them, so he'll be a breeze.
That entire world was a waste of time. Not only did they not find this hero, but Samsara was getting sick and tired of Jackie's enthusiasm. It also didn't help that she kept feeling off whenever she got a hint of Freya and her little group of friends. When they all decided to leave, Samsara grabbed the hands of Jackie and Ohm. Everyone else probably grabbed a hand of either of those and so on. They eventually appeared back at the library. Letting go of Jackie's hand, Samsara kept a grip on Ohm's hand. She turned her head and glared at him before sending a shock of dark lightning from her hand to his. It wasn't strong, but it surely was going to put a point across. A point that he needs to leave her alone or he'd get worse than that. Looking over, she saw Lucien was sitting there reading. Approaching him, she saw he closed his book and stood up. Hearing all he had to say about this legend, Samsara felt a strange reaction from her crystal. It made a bright light appear on her chest, where it was in her shirt. Covering it up quickly, Samsara lessened the light until it was nearly gone again. The keyblade graveyard was a place her mother and father told stories about. They spoke of a battle that nearly killed them both, but they survived. They survived and went on to live for hundreds of years. Why her crystal was reacting to this was beyond Samsara, but regardless, she was excited to finally meet this Hero. Samsara hoped he would destroy this Goddess and she hoped to work under him, assisting him in destroying the goddess. Snickering her usual, pointy toothed smile, she watched Lucien bring forth his keyblade and tear open the very fabric of the universe. Stepping forward, she put a hand on his shoulder, noting how cold he felt. "You feel of ice, my friend, but I'm excited to finally meet the Hero." Samsara said, leaping forward and through the tear.
I'm so old! -sobs- Somebody hug me ;-;
After Donald's triumphant return, Ananta smiled at the things her friends had all said. It was then that they were informed of Pete and the Opera that was starting soon. Ananta nodded at Kel and soon was running and leaping through the hole in the wall. Rolling out of the other side, she was already running ahead of everyone. There was no time to lose! Who knows what could happen if they don't get back to the Opera in time. Ananta was not ready to find out.
Rushing forward, Ananta attempted to help Mickey up. That's when Goofy came forward and slapped him enough to make him wake up. Sighing in relief, she smiled at him being okay. That smile soon disappeared when he spoke of what happened. It seems Captain Pete isn't as good of a guy as he said he was. Standing up, she crossed her arms at the turn of events. After a few moments of warm smiles, Ananta heard Mickey ask about Donald. "What do you mean? He's right he-" she started, turning around to see he was not there. Instead, a man in white robes was standing before the group. Ananta backed up and tried to hide behind Kross. That man was rather scary to her. His attire reminded her of things that scared her when she was young. Her memory flashed back to a day when she was not feeling well. She was sick for so long, she thought she was going to die. Her grandmother sat next to her and pressed a cold cloth to her forehead in an attempt to cool her off. The water came directly from the Mother Crystal's fountain, so it was very cool and felt nice due to the healing properties of the Mother Crystal. Ananta remembered asking her grandmother a question. "What happens when you die?" she asked, tears in her eyes. She was afraid of the answer, but knew that her grandmother most likely knew the answer. Chuckling and sighing, her grandmother hushed her and began to tell a story. "When one dies, their spirit separates from their body and ascends towards the Mother Crystal. It is then that the Mother Crystal sends forth a spirit in her visage." Ananta coughed, feeling her lungs wrack and her grandmother leaned in closer. She swept her hands up and down Ananta's chest, soothing the coughing and continuing her story. "They join hands and go to a room where their fate is decided. The visage disappears and leaves behind a crowd of terribly tall people wearing robes of white. Their purpose is to strike fear and the feeling of having to tell the truth. After some time, the person is finally sent to a place where they may rest for awhile before they are reborn as either another Crystallian person or an animal." Closing her eyes, Ananta fell asleep. Shaking her head, Ananta listened to the man in white ask them a question. "What do I want from my life?" Ananta repeated the question in her head. Kel spoke first, proudly saying what he wanted. Ananta emerged from behind Kross and placed a hand on his shoulder to make him more confident. "I want a long life of protecting everyone I care about. Every person I love, have met, or haven't met. I want to heal and protect every single one of them." she spoke, smiling at the thought of fulfilling that dream.
"Wow this place is pretty scary." Ananta stated the obvious, watching out for rats and cobwebs as they descended into the dungeon. The stones were slick with water and it was pretty dark going down. The only light they had was from the door they just came from. It was quickly going out. Instead of letting them wander in darkness, Ananta grabbed an unlit torch and placed a fire spell on it to light it up. She held it high, giving the party some light so they may continue down into this dungeon. "I hope Mickey's okay." she said, staring down at the goop she stepped in. It was just some moss and water mixed together, but it sure was gross and squishy. Making a disgusted face, she wiped her boot on the steps as they walked down more. 9/10
Leaning against the mast, Samsara crossed her arms and watched as the others walked off and ignored her completely. It seems they had their own things to take care of. Although, how they were communicating was rather odd, considering they were not directly speaking to each other as far as she could tell. Though there was some kind of magic feeling coming from the group, Samsara didn't want to bother them. it was obvious they had more important things to do. So instead of trying to interrupt them, she stood there and began to practice her new dark powers. The dark healing was pretty easy, it didn't need much concentration, so she decided to ignore training that one. That left the dark portals that she could create underneath her and any other person that happens to touch her hands, arms, or anywhere else on her body. Strange powers they were, strange enough that she was curious to see if she could try and land this group on the nearest planet. Gazing out, Samsara spotted a planet that was not far off. In fact, they were floating right by it. Heading towards Jackie, Samsara kept her eyes on the planet, only turning away when she got close to Jackie and Blanc. "Who do you think you are, saying you're the captain? If anything, I look the most captainy here. After all I have feathers on my shoulders and a long cape like generals and captains in movies." she said, placing her hands on her hips. "Anyway, I think we should land on that planet." she pointed at the one right next to them. "Start searching for caves and heroes, you know?" Turning towards the rest of the crew, Samsara cleared her throat. "Everyone, we are going to land on this planet here. It's the closest one, therefore it'll be the easiest to land on. All we need to do is gather around and I can safely assure that everyone will appear in the same area and we won't get separated." she said, stepping down to the deck of the ship from the wheel. "Believe me, we don't want to get split up. Things could easily go bad. Gather around me and I'll explain what we need to do next so we can get down on that planet." she finished bellowing out a plan, her cloak fluttering behind her.
"Uh, there aren't any more heartless. They literally just finished them off!" Ananta said, chuckling at Kross getting worked up over nothing. Soon enough Steel was back over and they were all together again. Standing around for a moment, Mickey's friends and dog came along to greet them. Although it became rather apparent that Mickey was missing! Gasping, Ananta listened to Goofy questioning Pluto. Once it was settled where they would be heading towards, Ananta followed her comrades quickly. Catching up to Kross, Ananta tapped his shoulder. "So what got you all pouty awhile ago, if I may ask?" she looked at him. Swinging her arms behind her head, she cupped her hands behind her head and kept walking. It was nice to just be walking and not really running along after this fight. They were walking rather fast, though, so it really was a moot point by then. They were getting close to their destination, Ananta could feel it, she saw some building in the distance and Pluto barking at them feverishly. "BARK!" 5/10

"Suit yourself." she said, watching Caleb leave through his portal. He had dragged Audrey with him, not even asking her how she was, and it was obvious he didn't care. "Tch." she went, turning her head to see that not many people were left here. Lucien was busy with whatever and Sherridan had left. Ohm left some time ago, who knows where, so Samsara just had to choose where to go. Walking towards Lucien, Samssara wasn't sure how she was going to ask Lucien anything. Everything was confusing and she was so lost right now. "Are you going to choose a place?" she asked him, trying to avoid her own questions she had. Once he answered, she nodded and attempted to ask her question. "What do I do, knowing I'm walking down a dark path? Should I continue? What happens if...I...lose?" she asked him, not expected a straight answer from him. This time, she listened to him intently, placing a hand over the crystal in her shirt. After Lucien was done talking, Samsara slowly descended through her dark corridor beneath her. Her eyes closed while she was in deep thought. Rising out of a dark corridor in the ground, Samsara opened her eyes to see that she was on a flying boat in space. Looking around, she recognized Jackie, Blanc, and Ohm. The other two she didn't know at all. Clearing her throat, she tried to make sure her voice was still different compared to her regular voice. Stepping towards the group, she held her hands behind her back. "My name is Samsara. What are your names?" she asked the 5 of them. This was going to be a difficult world, but they were sure to at least get along long enough. Staring at Zavion and Freya, they had a rather odd smell about them. She raised an eyebrow, but shook her head slightly. She was just imagining things.
Two heartless spawned in directly across from Ananta. Grinning, she immediately ran forward towards the first Lance Soldier. Holding her keyblade high, she made sure it would hit the heartless before it had a chance to attack. Unfortunately, she was very wrong. This Lance Soldier saw her attack and immediately stabbed forward. Ananta barely dodged, taking a hit to her side, and making a small dent into the heartless. Falling onto her side, she got back up and dusted herself. This heartless made her angry, causing her to run forward and tackle it to the ground. Sitting on top of the heartless, she began to hit it with her keyblade. Over and over, her keyblade hit the heartless. It was as if all that pent up anger from the previous battles was finally exploding in front of her. The heartless should have been gone by now, but it still remained. "Why won't you just disappear already?!" she asked angrily, giving it one last hit. The heartless finally disappeared and left Ananta to pant, catching her breath. This whole battle was aggravating, making her wish it was over and she could just go on to rest and talk with her comrades. Standing up, she looked at the other heartless. It had a vacant stare, as if the entire fight before it was nothing. That was to be expected of these Lance Soldiers. They had no emotions, just an innate attraction towards anyone with a keyblade, it seemed. Or maybe towards anyone with a heart, but Ananta didn't really understand that. Walking towards the heartless, Ananta began to attack it, leaving marks and wounds on it. It too left a few attacks on Ananta, but she ignored them for now. She opted to just continue fighting through any pain she felt from an attack. It was better to fight than to stop and try to recover with enemies still around. Finally, she was able to get the upper hand and defeat the Lance Soldier. It disappeared in a puff of darkness and Ananta could hear victory bells ringing somewhere. Maybe she was just imagining things? Either way, she decided to give herself a quick heal before deciding on where to go next. "Guess I'll just have to go around and see for myself?" she shrugged. Giving herself a glance over to double check she was clean and healed, Ananta began to walk. Heading up the west side, she noticed that nobody was here, but it was evident that a battle had broke out. Twigs and bushes were damaged and there was a lot of foot prints in the dirt. "Maybe they headed north?" she questioned, not remembering where everyone had ran off to. Continuing to walk, she finally reached the north end. Kell, Raisor, and Kross were all here and fighting Lance Soldiers. There still a few, but once was heading straight for them from a blind spot. Rushing forward, Ananta jumped high and prepared a Blizzard spell. Crashing down onto the heartless, she froze it and caused it to disappear in a diamond dust of snow and ice. Standing up, she patted Kross on the back and looked at the others. "Sorry it took so long, was having a little trouble here and there with my side. Doesn't look like much are here though. Guess we'll head for the east side once we're done here?" she suggested, nodding at Kel and Raiso. A smile spread across her face when she got to Kross. "And nice job there Kross, you're pretty strong." she said. "But looking so serious isn't really the best look for you." she joked.

Caleb's words rang in Samsara's ears. "I had no part in her dying! I wasn't even there for most of the battle between her and Dane. Even if I was, I couldn't do anything, I'd have been killed if I did. It was all I could do to try and keep the girl from getting hurt herself!" Samsara retorted, gritting her teeth. "Like you said, she won't come back. There's no way to get somebody to come back..." she frowned. "All we can do is find this hero and ask him to help us get rid of the goddess and then get rid of Dane." Crossing her arms, Samsara tried to decide on who she would go with this time. None of those worlds sounded very interesting to her, so she was probably just going to follow whoever. Following Dane was out of the question considering he'd probably kill her if he saw her again. "And I'm not asking for your forgiveness, I just wanted you to know she fought bravely. Juliet was...she was very strong, I can tell. I'm sure she was a great wife and mother too. But as it stands, you need to be there for your daughter. Don't just stand around and let her do whatever, she needs guidance I'm sure. You don't want her getting taken over by darkness like Dane, right? That'd be horrible..." Samsara practically whispered the last two sentences. Looking at Caleb, Samsara tapped her chin. "Are you injured? I can heal you." she offered. "It won't heal too much, I don't really understand it that well, but it'll help I think." she said. A pain shot through her head, causing Samsara to wince and place a hand on her head. Gritting her teeth, she heard some kind of a voice in her head. It was faint and hard to make out, but she could certainly hear it. In fact, it sounded like two voices that were fighting each other, trying to call out to Samsara to hear them. Shaking her head, she tried to clear the voices away and ignore them. It worked, because next she knew, the voices were both silent and could not be heard any more. "What was that? Why did I hear voices? Couldn't understand them, but still..." she thought to herself, frowning. This was weird, but she decided to just ignore it. Maybe she heard people someplace else arguing? In any case, she needed to decide on where she wanted to go. "I think I'll follow you, blue haired guy." she said to Caleb.
Nodding as Audrey left, Samsara continued to transport herself and Sherridan out of the forest. They reappeared in time to see Caleb begin to grieve over the loss of his wife. Turning her head away, Samsara ignored all the goings on in this room to think to herself. Dane seemed like a guy she could use as a teacher, but now he was showing his true colors. He was nothing but a cold-hearted man. If he even had a heart, that is. Shaking her head, Samsara turned her back towards the rest of the room. Her eyes closed and she stared at the ground. There was nothing she could do for Alisia now. No amount of sorry will make Audrey ever trust Samsara. There was nobody in this room that she could trust. Not even Ohm. Ohm. Thinking of Ohm, Samsara opened her eyes quickly and looked around. Spotting the blue haired man, she stared at him. When she had earlier done her magic, Samsara had also magically changed her voice for a better effect. Her heart ached as she wanted to go over and hug him immediately, but she could not. Facing him was something that she could not do right now, not until she got revenge on her mother. Ohm had begun to look back at her, which made Samsara quickly turn away. A smashing sound could be heard coming from the direction Caleb was in. Walking over, Samsara could tell that he had smashed the table by noticing the smashed table and the very angry man. Samsara stood next to Audrey in silence. Blinking, Samsara sniffed the air and quickly realized that what Juliet said was true. Caleb was of darkness and he absolutely reeked of it. She could tell that Audrey had a similar scent to Caleb, but that was understanding considering she was his daughter after all. Gulping, Samsara hoped he didn't notice her own dark scent on Audrey after Samsara had previously held her back from getting at her mother. Clearing her throat, Samsara decided to speak up. "I'm going...to assume you're uh...this girl's father? I was there when Dane killed her mother. She put up a fight, I...I'm sorry he killed her I just..." she stopped, not having talked very loud. She was at a loss for words, not sure if speaking was a good idea right now. Talking louder, Samsara turned to Audrey and patted her head. "I've decided to fight against Dane now. I traveled with him and found out he's not as good a teacher as I thought he'd be. Besides, I know his weakness if that's anything." she said, smirking. Samsara was just going to leave out the part where she helped Dane before she witnessed him murder Juliet. "He's weak to light, of course, I heard him scream when I used a simple Cure spell on him. That should tell you something." Samsara nodded. "Maybe finding this 'hero' and asking him to help us fight Dane would be a good idea?" she suggested.
Knees buckling, Ananta fell to the ground. The Cure magic wasn't working fast enough. Everything on her body was still sore from the fighting a while ago, so she was struggling a little. "You'd think I'd be used to this by now, but I'm not." she said, feeling awful. "I just want to cry and go home. I don't want to fight any more, I wish I never got this stupid keyblade!" she yelled, hearing three more Lance Soldiers appearing. Glaring at the heartless, Ananta stood up and canceled her Cure spell. Feeling pumped, she ran towards the first one and began to wail on it with her keyblade. Like the others, this one was rather adept at fighting. It dodged multiple attacks from Ananta, but she also dodged attacks from it as well. They were evenly matched and the battle was taking quite awhile. Soon enough, Ananta was able to overpower the heartless and slam it into the grand. Gripping it's neck, she held it up and grinned. Looking over at the other two Lance Soldiers, Ananta readied herself to throw this heartless into another one. Doing a few mock throws to get into the swing of things, she was ready. Swinging back once more, she managed to sling the Lance Soldier into one of its friends. They collided and fell backwards, the thrown heartless disappearing moments later, and the one was left in a daze. Turning towards the other remaining heartless, Ananta blasted it with a fire spell. It fell backwards and kicked up dust as it slid back. It eventually stopped, still on fire, and caused a bush to catch fire. "Oh crap!" Ananta exclaimed, freaking out a little. Grabbing her head, she tried to think about what to do. Then it hit her. Swirling her fingers around each other, she summoned ice and flung it at the fire. She kept throwing ice until the fire was out and she was out of magic. The heartless stood there, confused, as Ananta turned towards it and punched it with her fist. This was followed by a few kicks before the heartless was stabbed by her keyblade. Shaking the hand she punched the heartless with, Ananta smirked. "That's what you get, you stupid heartless!" she yelled at the wisps of darkness floating away. Her head turned to see the last heartless was now awake and ready to fight her. "Hahahaha!" she laughed at the heartless that struggled to stand still. "Oh man, that's pretty funny. I'm gonna hate destroying my entertainment." she said, wiping a tear from her eye. Slowly, the heartless wobbled over and tried to stab and slash Ananta with its lance. It failed every time and eventually started to get frustrated at her simply dodging the strikes. Smoke erupted from the heartless as it began to fling about, holding onto the lance in it's hands. Eyes widening, Ananta rolled away to dodge the incoming attack and try to decide on her next move. She was still low on mana, but that could easily be restored with a few whacks from her keyblade on the heartless. First, however, she had to dodge the attacks. Doing so, she found an opening and quickly attacked it. Soon, the heartless was gone and Ananta was left alone for a little bit. "That Cure magic finally hit me and now I'm feeling better. I'll get used to hurting eventually, I guess." she shrugged The pain in her arm was gone now and she could finally move freely, not worrying about straining her arm for the time being. Taking a deep breath, she stretched. OOC: EXP Earned: 30 EXP Writer Total: 180 Lance Soldiers 2/20
Not paying attention, Samsara closed her eyes and tried to think about what she wanted to do. Dane didn't want to go anywhere with her anymore. Samsara was fine with that, she honestly was. She had messed up pretty bad, but Dane wasn't even giving her a second chance. Him getting mad about her healing him with light on accident was justified, but he acts as if he could have died. She shook her head and opened her eyes. Turning her head, she looked as Dane was walking away with Alisia. Samsara wished she could help her, but Dane would kill Samsara if she tried anything. Audrey spoke and Samsara heard her mention healing Alisia. "Don't go near Dane, he'll kill you." Samsara spoke up, turning towards Audrey and Sheridan. Walking towards the two, Samsara knelt down. "I'm..." she began, not sure what to say. "I'm sorry I held you back earlier, but...I didn't want you to die. Neither did your mom. She was fighting Dane to protect you, I'm sure of it." Those words probably helped Audrey a little, but Samsara was mostly bullshitting. Mother's are pretty stupid, always trying to do what's best for their kids, but never really asking their kids what they wanted. "In any case, you got a dad, right? I think we should take you back to your dad...um...let me explain what happened with your mom to him, okay? Just point him out to me when we get back to Disney Castle. Sherridan, you're coming too. You can try and heal her bruises, see?" Samsara pointed to a few that she noticed. As Samsara spoke with the two, a dark hole began to spread from her feet and outwards. It eventually surrounded the trio before Samsara noticed. "Uh..." she stuttered, not sure what it was. "Oh, wait, is this a dark corridor in the ground?" she asked nobody in particular. "Well, I'm ready whenever you guys are." she said, holding Audrey and Sherridan's hand when they were ready and transporting with them if they chose to go.
But why are there so many caps?
Nice!
"I can't think like that, if I do, then I'll get really sad." Ananta said, closing her eyes once more. "No, I need to think about happier things, things that make me feel good about myself. Things like.." Her mind instantly pictured Kross. Shaking her head, she smiled. "Can't keep my mind off of him. But...I barely know him..." she sighed. While Ananta laid and thought about everything, she never noticed the heartless that were recently summoned by some outside force. As they stared at her, Ananta could not tell they were there. She could only think about life in general right now. Perplexed by her thinking about Kross, Ananta tried to clear her mind of him, but she could not. Every time she tried to think about something else, she kept remembering Kross and what he would do in that situation. It became so bad, that she felt her cheeks grow hot from embarrassment. She covered her face and groaned, worried that she'll start acting like this in front of other people. "No, I can't have that, we've got to save Master Yen Sid somehow, we just have to!" she said, shaking her head. A smile widened across and she kept trying to make the blushing go away. While her face was covered, the Lance Soldiers decided now was the best time to strike. So they jumped and landed on Ananta, trying to keep her pinned down. Surprised and struggling, Ananta cried out in agitation. "Why didn't I notice you?!" she said, wiggling her head out from under the pile. Ananta managed to turn herself over while under the pile, now on her stomach rather than her back, and got ready to escape. Slowly, she moved her right arm out and grabbed at the ground. Ananta kept wiggling to try and free her left arm, managing to do so after a little more effort, and soon had summoned her keyblade again. She tried to whack at the heartless, but they would not budge. Not sure what to do next, Ananta turned over onto her back once again and readied a fire spell. "I guess I'll just have to blow them up..." she sighed, not really wanting to risk hurting herself as well. Bringing her hands together, Ananta felt the heat from this fire spell gather in her hands. The spell grew bigger and bigger until it was big enough. Moving her hands downwards, Ananta closed her eyes and unleashed the energy from the spell. Immediately, all the heartless were on fire and launched off into separate ways. Time went by and Ananta awoke to find herself in immense pain. Her hands felt like they were still on fire, even though she had been knocked out for at least ten minutes. Looking at her hands, she saw they were not injured, it was just the after effect of the spell. Rubbing her hands together, the pain went away and soon was replaced by a new pain. Her right arm was searing in pain again, it felt like the scar was cut open again. Sitting up, Ananta removed her arm from the sleeve of the shirt and moved the shirt enough so she could see the wound. It looked like she agitate it, nothing more. "I feel like I was run over by a truck." she complained, readying a Cure spell. Soon, the green magic was flowing over her body and she started to feel better. "I've learned my lesson. Never sit back and relax when you aren't sure when the next attack is." she grumbled, standing up once again. OOC: EXP Earned: 30 EXP Writer Total: 150 Lance Soldiers 5/20
