Ra rose to his feet, looking down at his brother. The man lay injured on the stone, defeated at the hands of his guild mates. It had been a trying fight, but in the end they had won. They had defeated power incarnate. Ra was injured. His face was bruised and scraped, his hair dirty and stained in parts with his blood, and his armor was broken apart, only the fabric and pieces of metal here and there remained, and what did was caked with the dried blood of its owner. Yet, even in his weathered state, Ra wore a look of pride. Pride in his guild. Pride in his friends. They had achieved their goal, and truly defeated Ezekiel. He walked over to the man who he once called family, and stood above him. Ezekiel didn't move as Ra approached. He only stared blankly into the sky after his defeat.

"Ra...Indulge me a question." The man nodded, indicating to go ahead and ask. "What was it? The power that you all had?" Why was I defeated?" Ra stood silent for a moment, as though trying to find the right words. "We nearly broke under your might. Only together were we able to overcome you. Evanora, Team King, The entire guild. It took everything we had, and you still nearly won." Ezekiel gave a slight chuckle. "Flattery? I didn't think you the type." "But it was because of this that you lost." Ezekiel looked at Ra, confused. "That is what a guild is. In the face of adversity, we pick eachother back up off the ground, and are lifted in return. We face hardships together, and emerge stronger for it. That is the power which defeated you. You took the shortcut to power. You attained the strength you called yours recklessly, rather than how it should be aquired."

"So, you mean to tell me that it was because of my ascension...that you were able to beat me?" Fate hasn't lost her sense of irony it seems." What happened next caused even Ezekiel to look upon Ra with a look of surprise. The man clad in tattered armor, who had just fought fiercely against Ezekiel...was offering his hand to him. "Evanora has not taken anything from you Ezekiel. She has given you something precious. She has given you a second chance. A clean slate to start anew, and become the man you should have been all along. You were driven mad with the need for power, yet now you have the opportunity to regain it. This time, the way it's meant to be obtained." Ezekiel could only look at his brother in shock. After all he had done...He offered him a hand in friendship? Perhaps...This was what he meant. He had fallen into darkness so deep along his road to power, he'd failed to see the path right in front of him, and the man who walked it side by side with him. Yet here he was, reaching out his hand to pull him out of it. Raising his arm, he grabbed onto his brother's wrist and was pulled to his feet.

"As my life has ended...life begins anew."
"As it should be."
"I suppose...That's okay." ​

Well, on the up side, Stratos was backing him up. Down side, Their opponent shot some darkness spikes at him and Caleb decided to counter that strike raid by running up and trying to slash him across the stomach. Rolling to the side of the spike, Beuce couldn't really do much in the way of the cut. So, across his stomach the blade went. It wasn't a deep enough injury to kill him or anything, but jeez it still hurt. Blood started to run down the front of him. "What do you mean Sapphire's gotten out of hand? She's done literally jack shit to warrent any kind of rebellion. Like, seriously, just go ahead and name me ONE thing that makes her a corrupt leader. If you can do that, i'll put on a dress and do a square dance." Now, Beuce was pretty sure that Caleb couldn't actually name anything, due to Sapphire not actually having done anything, but if he somehow managed to do it, then he totally would.

"Are you sure she needs to be stopped or are you literally fighting against one of your friends for the sake of a vague rumor you heard?" Beuce, at this point, was honestly kinda hoping that Caleb would stop attacking him, if not join them. It'd help if Stratos would heal that gash across his stomach. That kinda hurt. In a counterattack against Xross, he decided to use the elemental guardian command of Gravity. Also known as Transcendence. Raising his arm, a field of gravity entrapped the group in a pocket dimension thing, and began causing enemies to fly all over the place. Best description 2015. When that was over, he turned to hear Dane gloating about what a badass he was and he was evil and dear god this was pitiful. Cool villains don't go around announcing how cool and villainous they are! Then they're just cliché. "Good god, Summer's eve, your ego is showing. You know what they say about guys with big darkness." Beuce said before holding up his pinky finger and wiggling it at him. ​

Jesse went to the church. Like a man. ​

Since i've now reached 25, i'm not sure about something
It says that heart is no longer usable beyond 25, i'm not certain if that means beyond as in 26, or level 25 and up.


So, If i am able to use heart, i'll put my point in that, giving me 39 (+5) magic

If not, then i'll spend it on Intelligence. Giving me 38 (+5) Magic, 7.5 Resistance, and 4.20(+2) MP.

"Falcon kick!" Beuce screamed as he flew into the room, his foot flaming for some reason. Some guy with a portal was reaching for Gexln...Menacingly! That wasn't allowed! Aiming his foot, he swiped it at him. If it missed, then he got the guy away from Gexln. If not, then he just smacked him in the face with a flaming foot. It was a win win. "Hey there G-man. Been a while. I see you haven't lost your knack for getting yourself into sticky situations. Lucky for you your ol' buddy Beuce is the greatest friend under the sun and is here to save your ass. I even brought your Wife and Stratos and some chick with a nice rack in case you wanted a nice view while we're kicking everything's ass for you. Just relax and hop on into a dark corridor. We got this covered." He looked around at their opposition. That guy in red had a hood, which clearly meant he was an assassin and very fast. That guy liked to portal, from the looks of things when they entered. Darkness Mcgee. Not much more to see there. A little girl who looked like she had just watched her puppy get run over by a truck, then the truck driver got out and laughed at her before driving away (Gabi's character, no doubt.). And finally, Caleb.

Oh hey, Caleb was there. And he was Archer! This would be an interesting fight. Beuce was fresh out of God Hands, so any nuclear arrows might be a problem. He began thinking of a strategy to handle each of them. In theory, with the others there, he should out on top in this fight. He summoned his Soul's Grasp keyblade in his left hand, while he tightly gripped his right one, causing it to glow momentarily and turn a dark red. This was his "going ham" mode. It empowered all of the most powerful abilities he had at his disposal. Spinning his keyblade, he threw a Strike Raid at Caleb before dashing at Xross. Ice formed over the claw like hand shortly before reaching his current location. He spun, swiping the hand in a full circle and radiating bone chilling air all around. In addition to being damaged by the magic, it would quite literally freeze anyone in the immediate area solid if they were too close. Ending the spin, he caught his Strike Raid on the return, reading himself for the inevitable counterattack.

Phantom responded with a small salute and a "Roger that boss", then shadow traveled away. Phantom was an assassin, the same as him. He lived in the face of death every day. Be it his or someone else, death was ever close. He had encountered the boy as a child, after killing his family for their corruption. He now understood why R had done it, but he remembered the burning need for vengeance well. In an effort to avoid him walking a similar path, he offered him a deal. Die with his family, or live and become his apprentice. He'd chosen the latter. Still, Ghost wondered if that was the right choice for him to make. To force the decision upon him. To force him onto the path of shadows. Whatever the case was, it was far too late to change anything. All he could do now was guide him through it as best he could. Although he wasn't sure it was his place. He was beginning to understand why R had given up the power of Kingdom Hearts to Sapphire rather than simply keeping it himself. Can a hand so stained with blood really be fit to guide another?

He was brought out of his thoughts by the voice of Sapphire. She told him about her children. How they were with the resistance, and she was still unsure why. Rather than asking him to find out, she asked him to watch over them. "My lady...I'm afraid i must ask something in return for this. As you have asked me to watch over your family...I need you to watch over mine. Do this for me, and i will be their guardian angel. Through hell and back, no harm will come to them so long as i stand." The request might have been a bit vague, but he had a feeling she knew what he meant. He had asked her to look after Phantom while he was away infiltrating the resistance. He didn't need to wait for her answer. Despite the rumors about her, Sapphire was a kind ruler. He had no doubt she would accept his terms. Walking off into the shadows, he vanished, and returned to Disney Castle.


Zavion could indeed see exactly what his sister was feeling. To be honest, he felt similarly. He just wanted to leave this place and find time to think. Lexcifur seemed annoyed at the situation, but he agreed that they should leave as well. "Listen. Both of you. I don't know what my mother is trying to do, and i don't know if finding this hero is the right choice, but we have an ally in Juliet. If what i've heard about Caleb is true, he'll help us as well. Be it to stop the rebellion or push it forward, i don't know yet. We'll have to see what happens from here on. I'll decide what i'm going to do then. For now, i think the best idea for either path is to tag along with this group. Pretend we're still a part of it. Thankfully that'll be pretty easy. They seem to be taking random people off the street into their ranks." Zavion said to his two friends quietly. Turning, he walked over to the dark corridor and passed through, returning to Disney Castle. ​

Jesse was ready to begin the fight. Gripping his orb tightly, he raced off into the town in search of his opponent. Soon enough, he was trapped in a fairly large cage of runes with another man. He was a behemoth of a man, who had white hair. He was basically a tower of solid muscle. "Oi. Looks like we're goin' at it huh?" The guy nodded, then spoke with a deep grisly voice, as one would expect from a guy like him. "Yeah. I'll win this fight, as a man!" Jesse gave a slight chuckle. "I like your attitude. What's your name?" His enemy gave him a smile with his introduction. "Elfman."

He even had man in his name. Jeez, Jesse was starting to like this guy. It was a shame he was going to have to hand his ass to him. It was mutually understood that this was a fight between men. Not just any men, but manly men. "A man will never lose!" He called out. It seemed like he was charging up energy, when suddenly, in a bright flash, he transformed. "Beast soul!" As the name would imply, he was in fact pretty beastly. He had fur all along his arms, and horns which joined into one across his forehead. If it was possible, he seemed even more muscular than he'd been before. "That's pretty impressive. Now it's time i showed you my pride as a man!" Throwing his orb into the air, it began to glow a pale blue. In a beam of light, it came crashing down onto the ground in its full form.

"Such a man!" Elfman was clearly impressed at his bike. Who wouldn't be? It was the epitome of masculinity. Jesse, however, didn't mount his weapon. "If we're having a fight as men, we do this right. No weapons. Just bare knuckle brawl." Elfman seemed surprised at his opponent's choice to not even use the weapon he'd summoned, but soon began to laugh. "Yer a man alright. A real man!" Seeming to take him up on the challenge, he reverted from his beast form back into a human. Chivalry was the trait of a man!

There was only one thing left to do to set the stage as the most manly fight ever. With a finger, he touched the chest of one of the Shiva sisters. The one which formed the head of the bike. As though it had been there the whole time, a radio was built into her chest, and it started playing the music which would act as the battle music for their fight.

With that, the most manly fight that had ever occurred was under way. Fists were flying, sweat was pouring. Elfman had the advantage in weight, but Jesse was proving to be no pushover. Guarding his face in a boxer-like manner, Jesse looked for an opening in Elfman's blows. Finally, after sidestepping a punch, Jesse brought a knee into his stomach. Elfman, however, was quick to counter. A balled fist was swung into the side of Jesse's face, knocking him back. "Take hits like a wall, give 'em like a truck. hah. I like you. You're definitely a man." Jesse ran back in, not ready to give up by a long shot.

Elfman brought a fist into Jesse's gut, but was met by a blow of joined fists to the back of his head. A spinning kick knocked Elfman back into a stagger. Charging in, not giving his opponent any time to recover, Jesse engaged in another exchange of blows. Neither one guarding, just delivering punches to the other until a breaking point. With each fist that collided into their opponent, sweat flew off of their bodies, landing on the ground around them. They were both covered in bruises from the other's blows. It was only a matter of time until one of them dropped from exhaustion.

Finally, the two threw a right hook at eachother. This would be the final blow. Each put all the force and energy they had left into this one punch. The actual time it took was only a moment, but it felt like it was played in slow motion. For all they knew, it could've been. And the fists collided with the cheeks of the opponent. They stood there for a moment, before finally one of them fell. Their strength was gone, in both of them, yet only one stood. Jesse held to his feet, standing as the victor. "You were the bigger man." Elfman said through his panting as he lay on the ground. Given that a victor was decided, the rune prison disappeared. A man wasn't only about his toughness. He was humble in victory. Offering out a hand, he helped elfman to his feet. "One more hit and i would've been down myself. You're one tough guy to bring down." "Hah! Maybe we should have a rematch sometime." "You can count on it."​

The white haired keyblade wielder began swearing profusely at the man who had caught him after his collision with the dinosaur. "THAT WAS A GREAT INITIATION! WHAT THE HELL?! NOW I HAVE TO RUN BACK IN TO GET AT IT!" Hopping off of Base's keyblade glider, Beuce charged the thing headfirst. Karina seemed to have learned the ability to use Zantetsuken. He and Stratos had been spamming that all over the thousand heartless battle, he would hope she'd have picked it up by then. Stratos was a great mage, so Zantetsuken didn't seem to do much for him outside of the sheer volume he used it. Karina was very much the opposite. Her strength was out of this world, but her magic was a bit lacking. They were both a fair bit more durable than him, but when it came to offense, Beuce was the best off out of all three of them. He was lacking in neither magic or physical. He intended to use both of those strengths to finish off this beast and take that piece they needed.

Flourishing his keyblade, Beuce vanished and left behind a trail of rose petals, leaving a massive gash on the beast's side. Zantetsuken. Currently, it was their most powerful physical attack. Even a weak person would be able to damage the enemies quite a bit with an attack like that. It roared in pain from the injury, and turned to attack Beuce, but never got the chance. Before it could really do much, a blinding burst of light rained down on it from the sky. In terms of power, Faith was the magical equivalent of Zantetsuken. To his knowledge, he was the only one among their entire group that could use both of the attacks to extreme effectiveness. The T-rex was unable to cope with the combined force of these two attacks and fell on the ground, seeming to have given up. Beuce, however, wasn't finished with the thing. It reminded him of the Elyos, and that was a crime punishable by death. He didn't intend to let this thing live.

Gathering together the energy from his heart, Beuce took on a bright golden glow. Levitating into the air, he prepared the finishing assault. "Trip around the sun!" The fiery sphere which was reminiscent of a miniature sun collected and formed above his head. This would be the killing blow, and everyone there, including the T-rex, knew it. Gathering the power of the sun, Beuce collected it into his spellbinder keyblade. Now, both the weapon and wielder shone with a glorious golden light. With one final charge, Beuce brought down his keyblade upon the head of the monster. As the blade drew nearer to the skin, it began to burn away and turn to ash under the power of the sun. Finally, the blade struck down, and it was dead in an instant. A brilliant pillar of golden and orange flames erupted from the ground, incinerating the beast. When the light and flames died down, all that remained was a smoldering scorch mark on the ground, small flames still burning around it, and a musical note lying in the center. They didn't have to take it from the eye anymore. There was no eye left to take it from.

"Looks like it got..."

Beuce took out a pair of sunglasses and placed them on his face

"T-rekt. YEAAA-" Beuce was interrupted by the sound of a gunshot. He quickly ducked in panic. "Alright i won't make the joke! God..."

Ra used Aero
Beucette broke Charlotte's rune prison!

Beuce was still staring at the jaw dropping sight which was Karina developing a character and feelings that weren't rage and sorrow. It was actually pretty crazy. In fact, it was so crazy, a nearby team mate had a similar reaction. Only they decided to drink away the insanity by taking out some alcohol and proceeding to drown their confusion in booze. Glen then earned quite a few awesome points in the big book of Beuce...word for social opinions that starts with B...yeah. But yeah, he offered him a drink. Even if Beuce hadn't been utterly confused about Karina, there was no way in hell he was turning down free booze. Graciously accepting the bottle, he took a generous swig and handed it back to Glen. "Thanks man. You know, you're pretty awesome." However, before the conversation could continue further, the rest of the group piled out of the portal one by one. Kaida appeared to be freezing, and dropped into the water, saying it was warmer than the air. He was about to tell her why she may not want to submerge herself in that water, but decided against it...Eh, she had a yellow theme going on anyway.

As the final member, being Base, came out of the portal, all of their pieces combined into a single one, accomplishing their task. Mickey congratulated them on finding the first of them, but said that there were five more to go. If they were all as awesome as the first portal, then this would turn out to be a pretty sweet world all in all. Stepping through the portal to the other side, he found that there were in fact no naked fairies floating around turning things to gold or giant snowflakes to ride. No, instead, they got to fight something. And what was this something? A freaking T-rex. Of course. Apparently frightened of the creature, Base grabbed hold of his wrist and waved it around, attempting to bait the beast towards him. It didn't really seem to work, and it just kind of engaged in some battle with Stratos that Beuce wasn't paying much attention to.

Beuce glared at the monster. He remembered something like this. It was an ultimate class of creature. However...It was in Elysea. That meant this thing may well be Elysean too. "I'm not allowed to let any trace of the elmos live. Even if it's just a wild animal." He said angrily, summoning his keyblade. He wouldn't use his soldier job right now. A good combination of physical and magic seemed to be the way to take this thing down. Running up toward it, he slid underneath it and between the two short legs, striking at the stomach. It roared in pain, then turned around and loosed a jet of fire from the mouth at Beuce. Well...He didn't remember them being able to do that in Elysea. Must be some kind of new breed or something. To counteract these flames, Beuce shot out a jet of water from the tip of his keyblade. Aqua Splash had served him well throughout his time since he learned it in his first world with this group. The two seemed to cancel each other out, resulting in this particular clash of elements coming to a draw. Still having a look of rage on his face, Beuce ran in for another strike.

Ghost stood in the castle courtyard along with the rest of the group from the realm of darkness. They seemed to be waiting on some of the others to get back. Meanwhile, the rather enthusiastic girl that had been in his group ran up and asked him and Anadi where they'd learned to fight. He could hardly just say he'd spent the last 300 years working as the shadowy hand of the goddess and killing off those who defied the law she set. Damn...He didn't talk to people. He killed people. How would Phantom handle the situation? ...Suddenly an image of Phantom pondering how he would handle the situation and arriving at the conclusion he would just kill Jackie appeared in his mind. Well, that did a lot of good...Maybe he should work on his people skills a tad...

"I suppose you could say i'm self taught. Most of my technique is of my own invention. As far the magic imbued into my weapon and armor...The weapon was my father's before mine, and his father before him. It was passed down through the generations. One day i too will pass it on." Ghost told her, giving a brief explanation about Narukami. One day he would pass it on...Death was like the wind, always by his side. It was a danger he faced. One day, the sword he held would belong to Phantom, likely along with his armor. "My armor...it was a gift from an old ally. something to help me let go of my past." Ghost turned around and began to walk off. "I'll be back momentarily." Disappearing behind the corner, out of sight, Ghost melted into the shadows. The darkness behind Sapphire's throne was the outlet for the assassin. "My lady." He said to the goddess, stepping out from behind her. His voice was the only sound he made, as his footsteps were silent as ever. He looked over to see his apprentice and an unfamiliar face.

"I have returned as you requested. From what i have been able to ascertain, their base of operations is what was at one point Disney Castle. While their combat abilities seem to be varying, they are disorganized. It's unlikely they will find the hero even without interference. There are some among them which seem to encompass a large portion of the resistance's power. However...There is something odd about them. A few of them...i don't believe even wish you any ill will. They seem to be in it for the sport, or have ulterior motives for finding the hero. I cannot be sure what they may be though." Ghost stood, finishing his report to the goddess. He turned toward his apprentice, apparently having business with him as well.

"Phantom...Among the resistance, there is a man by the name of Bartholomew Blackstone. He evidently hails from Halloween Town. I want you to keep a watchful eye on him. Find out everything you can about his origins, his personality, his habits. Any information you can find. I've taught you how to size up a mark before. Then, keep your sights aimed at his head. Be ready for him. I get a vibe of evil from him. I don't yet know his motives, and i want you to find out." His apprentice now given a task from him, he was now finished with his business on Riel. Walking over toward the shadows behind Sapphire's thrown once more, he was prepared to leave.


Beuce was waiting for Kross' answer when most of the other fourth wall breakers just up and left, back to base. He wasn't quite done here though. Kross approached him with a serious look, saying he was the man he wanted to see. A favor. He asked Beuce to keep an eye on his kids, Ohm and Anadi. Smiling, Beuce accepted the task. "You got it! Have i ever given you a reason not to trust me? ...Don't answer that. I got it." Then, Ananta spoke up. God, talk about worst mother of the year. Seriously. He would've expanded upon this, but he realized that some serious shit was going down in another world. Gexln was about to like 1v5 some of the most overpowered fuckers in the RP. "Damnit we gotta go! Gexln's in some serious trouble. My plot senses are tingling."

He turned to the others there. They needed to get to Beast's castle fast. "Xero, open a dark corridor to beast's castle, quick! Stratos, when we get in there, we're going to have a serious brawl. You know what to do." There was a keyword in that statement. In a certain mindset, that guy was unstoppable. It just took a certain...setting to get him into it. "You...uh...chick. Come with us. You never know, you might end up finding your guy. Important stuff has a habit of happening around us."


His wall had proven useful, and allowed Charlotte to get in a pretty strong hit. If that weren't bad enough, Juliet and Ohm followed up with strikes of their own. It hadn't been a long fight, but the beast was already on its last leg. All that was left was to finish it off. "Lexcifur! Lets do it!" He flew above the creature, ready to perform his part of the fight. Meanwhile, Lexcifur knew what to do. Mirroring Zavion's position, he ran directly beneath it. Zavion summoned up dark energy in two places. One in a spiral around his right tonfa, and one in a spiral around The Devil's Lance, Zavion's spear. From above, Zavion stabbed the blade directly into the dark being's back, driving it down toward the ground.

Meanwhile, from below, Lexcifur leaped into the air and thrust his spear up at the stomach, as though to drive it into the air. Combined, these two forces created a devastating combination for the creature. Being crushed by darkness empowered attacks from either side, especially given the injuries it had already sustained, it couldn't hold on. Eventually, the blades of their two weapons touched, and the darkness in them took a new form. With a hole driven completely through, it expanded. It was like an explosion, ripping the creature entirely in half from the inside out. There was no way it would survive such an attack. It faded away, defeated. Landing on the ground, Zavion looked up at the sky where the creature had been moments before. "Good work." He said simply. ​

OOC: GRANDEEEEEEEEEEEEEUR

Ezekiel groaned in pain as the hands of time turned against him. His arcane body melted away into flesh. He felt blood coursing through his veins. He was trapped. He was mortal once more. This was...this couldn't be happening. After everything he'd gone through for his ascension, she had just stripped him of it all at once. He could scarcely believe what had just transpired. He was snapped out of his state of disbelief by the sound of metal clanging against the stone floor. He looked over to see a golden haired man rise to his feet. The two looked nearly identical.

"I'd nearly forgotten what you were like as a human..." Ra said through a panting breath. Despite the injuries, he rose to his feet, using the staff in his hands to steady himself. Their guild master had given them a chance. Ezekiel was a powerful magus to be sure, but without his ascension, he could be defeated. This was their shot at victory. "Members of Sapphire Eclipse! Do not lose heart! Victory is within our grasp!" Ra raised his staff at Ezekiel, loosing a bolt of electricity at his brother. ​

India continued tending to the young girl's wound with a thinking expression, as though he weren't entirely focused on what he was doing and his mind was elsewhere. However, he still made no mistakes in the procedure. He stitched the wound closed, and began wrapping it in bandages. About halfway through, the girl felt the need to justify herself getting wounded to him. He sighed and looked up at her. "Well I'd say that's fairly obvious. I would've honestly found it strange had you been sitting in your room, weapon in hand, ready for some kind of invader to attack you. It's not at all unexpected that you were caught off guard. Even Azra was taken by surprise. There's no shame in your situation." India said. Surprisingly enough, he was being almost encouraging toward the girl. However, with India, his motives were never what they appeared at face value.

Those who bore witness to it soon found this out very much so. He finished tying her bandages. The wound was now treated. He patted her on the shoulder, indicating she was all done. Turning his revolving chair, he now faced Dmitri with a wicked smile. Dain likely knew what was coming. They'd be having quite the meal tonight. "Now then, shall we discuss payment? I have specific charges for medical fees. That will be 600 for the treatment itself, 450 for the supplies, 500 for use of facilities, 750 for the consoling session, 300 for the escort by guard..." India said, alluding to Azra.

"Why am i the cheapest fee?"

"You're not that great of a guard." India ruthlessly listed off about four more fees, each of which growing in price. By the end of it, Dmitri's wallet would be screaming in agony. "If you'd like i can set up an installment plan, however that would of course include interest." One thing was for sure. India knew how to extort the blood from your veins. He looked over to see the shadow take a snap at Renna. She'd been touching a known violent creature and was surprised to find it tried to bite her? She certainly wasn't the brightest...Well, that just meant he could get more munny out of her for his services. All he needed to do was convince her she needed them. That wouldn't be hard.

"Now then, given you helped capture it, i suppose you could stay for the first part of the examination of the creature. However, once i get into my work, I'm afraid i'll have to ask you to leave.
