I too shall sign up for the Iron Imprisoner
Admittedly Kel was a bit curious about why Karina had dragged Beuce away and thought about it slightly as he walked. It wasn't on his mind for long, mainly due to his level of curiosity, but long enough for the rest of the walk to coliseum gate to be over a lot faster. By the time he had gotten there, there were already some of the other presumed participates. He didn't know what to think of them at first glance. He wasn't the best at gauging one's strength at a glance, but the man with the tattoo looked to be fairly strong. The same could be said about the cloaked guy that Karina was talking to. Speaking of, the more he looked around, the more spotted people he did know, Like Karina, Beuce, and Stratos. And people he knew to varying degrees, this being AJ and...Faust? After taking a quick headcount Kel ended up walking over towards AJ, waving once he got close enough, and asked: "How have you been since getting out to that whale?"

Down below is the truth
Kel got the feeling that Karina was even more unimpressed with him, but at this point, the only thing that he could do was stick with this decision of his for now. That lead to him being able to see the two other pirate ships appearing overhead. From where he was standing it was nice to know that the others had gotten to this world safely, even if he couldn't confirm for sure. Technically the only one he did manage to see Beuce, though it was more him being dragged away by Karina and the apparent sheer determination in her eyes that he truly witnessed. Well okay then, that was likely his cue to actually go the right way to where he had originally intended ongoing and he did just that.
Kel had gotten the tone pretty loud and clear thus why he didn't immediately say anything back. Just immediately turning around and going the other way would do, so it seemed like he would have to play through this situation for now. Fortunately, she'd given him an out to this small conundrum. "The whole tournament sounds interesting so I thought I'd tag along with you until I could just break off and go there myself." No sooner than he said that though, two random people walked past them, talking going to said tournament right now while walking in the complete opposite direction they were currently going. "And I now have the feeling that I'm going the wrong way."
Once back on the ship, Kel couldn't help but sigh in relief. Not because of the highly impromptu plan of literally kicking the ship through a gateway, but how they had managed to do so before the explosion of the planet caught up to them. The was much rejoicing following and they were even given a ship of their own to use to leave. Kel didn't have a whole lot of say regarding Ignis's decision to stay with the pirates so he merely gave her a wave as they left. "I suppose I'll follow her, maybe check out this tournament along the way." The people walking around, talking to themselves about said tournament and various things that they had seen at the marketplace vaguely reminded him of his own home, which led to a reminder of the bread seller who he always ran into at the market. More than enough reason for him to check out the tournament first even if he didn't have some actual interest in it. Kel managed to weave his way through the crowd, catching up to Karina to hear her mumblings. On the one hand, he could comment on that now, revealing that he both decided to tag along and hear her. Or he could keep that to himself till a later point as it wasn't his place to pry into this sorta thing. Especially not with his own limited knowledge on the subject. "So who do you think we'll see first?"
One problem keeping them from leaving the world had been dealt with, but in its wake arose another issue in the limited time that they had. They had access to their gliders, but it was only limited to a minute meaning that they would have to be quick about it. Fortunately, Karina had an idea. She may not have been the best at cooperating with others, but she could definitely hold her own when it came down to it. "Count me in!" He replied before leaping off the ship and thankfully landing on Ignis's glider. Kel kinda had to as she had already gone off before Karina called out to him. Kel gathered his footing before feeling a new wave of strength course through his body as the power aura activated within him for the first time. He gave Karina a look to make sure that she was ready and she was quick to respond. Kel had the go-ahead and it was time to get this started. "One" "Two" "Three!" With both the combined strength of the two of them and the boost provided by the two power aura, their combined kick had sent the ship propelling forward in the direction it needed to be.
Kel rides the Giant Hawk (The attack Maui uses) to victory and attacks to 2 combos
Kel used combo twice Maui used Giant Hawk
Kel goes into Ice Aura used Vorpal Blitz on Tail 2 Maui used Giant Hawk on Tail 5
Kel used Fire Strike on Tail 1 Maui used Shark Bite on Tail 5
Kel attacked Tail 1 with FIst Bump and used a Phoenix Down on himself Maui attacked Tail 4 as a Giant Hawk
Kel summoned Maui and attacked Tail 3 with Vorpal Blitz Maui used Giant Hawk on Tail 4 No idea how much of any of this is done correctly
Instead of learning more about where they had crash-landed as Kel had wanted, they ended up being told about everything that B.E.N was up too which, with his spotty memory, he wasn't sure just how credible any of that was. He wasn't sure at what point, but at some point, he'd started tuning out everything until something about their comrades showing up. Karina had found Castur and somehow Silver along the way. The next events that followed were not something that Kel did not have a say in. He had only seen Silver once and didn't quite trust him if anything he was trusted a little bit better than the other pirates on board the ship, but not by much. So between the news of his betrayal and the revelation of the map, the only thing that actually stuck out was two of the destinations on the map. Olympus, the place they were all supposed to meet up at and Land of Dragon, one of the many places Nequa was at and thus a world of hurt was waiting for him. In that case, it came in the form of a bird. "Whoa." Kel was actually impressed by the sheer amount of gold and treasure that was before them. He may not have wanted to take any of it, but he couldn't deny that it was an impressive sight to behold, even with B.E.N's perplexing words.
Kel wasn't quite sure what Aux had gone through in the other worlds, but he couldn't help but let out an amused chuckled at his complaint. "I can't speak for those other times, but you did knock Jim out before we abandoned ship. So at least that you should've seen coming." Everything settled down so Kel turned towards B.E.N, better to get some answers now while they actually could. "So what can you tell us about where we crash-landed."
It still amazed Kel at the fact that Castur had gotten lost when they all were standing by each other, not moving, before dealing with Leo's pirate group. "Yeah, just don't get lost looking for him." He would've offered to help, but with Jim still punching Aux, he thought it'd be better if one of them were to stay behind and learn something from B.E.N about this place.
The headache known as Zulu had soon left and in his stead came a mechanic thing that was definitely more than 'a little nuts'. He watched as B.E.N explained where Jim and the others were after a handshake in which it almost felt like his arm would come outta its socket. Just to be sure Kel moved it around a bit to make sure that it was still in place. Through B.E.N's guidance, they arrived at the hideout where the first thing that occurred was Jims attempts at punching Aux. "Yeah, that figures."
Kel was dumbfounded for a multitude of reasons. The apparent feelings that Leo had for Anora, the cage that had just dropped from the sky and trapped Aux and the chains now restraining Karina. By this point, Kel had already called forth his own keyblade and got himself somewhat ready to deal with the oddity that was everything Leo had done so far. He didn't like the way Leo had turned to him, or brought up the achilies tendon. "Vaguely, a lot of what you said sorta just blurs together."
Well they found Zulu, which immediately proved to be a bad thing when he started speaking to them. "Trust me, I couldn't Doctor L even if I wanted to." And he did want to, but fortunately, the amount of stuff that they go through a daily basis was a good way to bury those memories. From that point onward Kel really tuned out most of what Zulu said right until he'd mentioned the love triangle between Anora, Noroz, and Kross. "Wait, darling love?" Now he may have been pretty oblivious to most things regarding romance that wasn't blatantly obvious and in that particular case, it was very obvious. Between's Noroz's immense distrust of everyone that got near her and Kross's determination to compete with that. After his whole spiel had finally come to an end, Kel took a step back and motioned right to Zulu. "Be my guest, both of you."
