As they had walked through town, Chrono glanced around to see if there were any missing person posters of himself posted. A few times he did think he saw some, but it wouldn't be good if he attracted attention to himself by standing next to it. The event at the plaza had done a good job of holding most people's attention and the ones who didn't simply didn't pay much attention to them. Which served to make Chrono feel a little bit better as a whole. Chrono's eyes had settled on the stage after looking up to see how much time was left until the event started and soon spotted the man he's wanted to see rot in a jail cell for so long. He moved his hood as far up as he possibly could to further obscure himself. Being towards the back of the crowd helped too. Being spotted by this guy of all people would end horribly. I'll make sure you get what's coming to you. With that thought of vengeance, Chrono eyes fell to the blue haired man just as Chrys exclaimed what he assumed to be his name. At least it wasn't Koa, that would've been another layer of stress that he didn't need right now. "Its Chrono." He could only assume that 'Stopwatch' was referring to him. "Typically they make all the high-end stuff. Computers, televisions, a few hoverboards, each thing one-upping the last product they released." That being said, just what were they planning on showing off that would need this big of a presentation?
Fost's suggestion had reminded him of what Torrin had told him and once again he didn't feel like testing that theory, even if the numbers advantage was still on their side. Perhaps Ardyn was just here to observe them. It didn't make him feel completely better about his presence in general, but if he didn't do anything while here then it would be much appreciated. Hopefully the same could be said about whichever of the Light Chaser's student happened to be here as well. The sound of an engine above hand drawn Chrono's attention up towards the airship as his sister called attention to it, the name of the company was proudly displayed in the ad. Unpleasant memories were stirred and his fist tightened as a result. "'Don't miss out on the future', must be something big." Chrono took in a breath, tearing his eyes away from the airship and venturing towards central plaza.
Kel felt bad for Sora as he presumed friend had just told him that he would just get in the way. He somewhat understood what that felt like, but in the same vein, he barely knew how to help himself in those moments. Which made it a lot better when Beuce, Luna and...the other guy had gone to talk to him. Speaking of the other guy, he'd just finished giving Sora his keyblade (that he apparently had) when Karina had gone over to smack him. By the time Kel had gotten over there, he was given his reasoning why. "I'm all for giving a kid a means to defend himself, but I'd much prefer the piece of wood than a weapon he doesn't know how to use. They did also get eaten by this whale too ya know." He said upon arriving, then turn to Karina with a wave. "Sup. Good to see you're back."
They hadn't gotten far when the communicator went off and on the other end was Fost with really just a warning for Chrys. The last of trust for her was still clear and not something that would be easily fixed. "He also claimed that the Light Chaser's students already have both armor and whatever weapons you could make from Orichalcum, is there anything else it can be used for?" It was still bugging Chrono that they were here in the first place. Even if what Ardyn said was a lie, there was no way they just happened to be here at the same time they were. He followed behind Tinarah as he tried not to overthink things before anything was made clear.
Chrono only narrowed his eyes at Ardyn's response, very much aggravated by it. Not only did they have him keeping a very much unwanted eye on them, but it seemed that there was a chance of someone else being been here as well. Least that was what Chrono assumed based off Ardyn singling out Chrys. He didn't really say much as he followed his sister out of the alley as he really just wanted a distraction from what had just occurred. That small bud of anxiety within him had only started to grow as a result.
"Did the Light Chaser to keep an eye on us, or does he need the Orichalcum for his own purposes?"Despite the seeming calmness in his voice, Chrono was very much on edge and glaring at Ardyn. This was the last thing that Chrono wanted to deal with right now and the fact that he knew about their father somehow only made things worse. The tension of the situation had left him ready to act the moment it became needed.
The instant the heartless came into view and was in a somewhat stationary position, Kel brought out his keyblade and readied himself to attack. Sora took the first step and the footing beneath them vanished, causing them to fall into the darkness once again. This time he landed flat on his face and got up slowly with a groan to find himself back at the mouth of the whale. The anatomy of this whale had to be seriously messed up given that they fell down and somehow ended up back at the whale's mouth. Okay that aside, everyone else seemed to be here as well. Kel felt relieved to see Luna given he'd fallen off the boat first back on with John Smith, surprised to see Karina here too and glad to see everyone else that he knew. The ones he didn't, well he supposed it was good to see them. Aux also made it into that category since his opinion on him was low, but not cause of any personal reasons. Mainly due to the lack of any interactions with him. With his keyblade still in hand, Kel got up himself. "As good as it is to see everyone again, we still have some kids to rescue if anyone wants to help."
Kel went right
Following behind Ignis as they ran through chamber after chamber in pursuit of the heartless that had taken Kairi and Pinnochio, the brief appearance of a ghost face was actually unnerving for the brief second it had appeared. "I saw it too, but it looks like it's gone now." He made sure to take a careful look around after saying that. "Let's just keep going." Thus Kel turned right and continued going in that direction.
Fluffkins seemed to be pleased with herself with the simple act of getting some of her spit in Shawn's hair as well as Zephyr's frantic acts to get her attention. However, despite all of this something was still amiss. The other mage had brushed her fur, without her approval no less. Who did he think he was, stroking her majestic rainbow fur like that. It was time to teach them a lesson. She ignored the treats offered to her and pushed her way past the gate and towards the nearest patch of mud. Her next step was prance about in said mud, splashing it about everywhere as best as she could. The 'splat' sound had caused a concerned look on Zephyr's face to form and slowly he looked up to find Fluffkins prancing about mud, making a mess both around and on her. "You've got to be kidding me." Slowly, but surely, Zephyr was starting to dislike Alpacas. Skeletal figures, spirits, old lady, Maira made note of all of what they were told in order to put it to good use later on. Fortunately, Conrad had spoken up after Lakoda was put on the spot, which allowed Maira to save her 'she's just shy' card for another time. She didn't have much else to ask, so she just kept an ear out for anything Drove might say in response to Conrad that would be helpful.
"Let's investigate the company first. If that doesn't work out then we'll go with that." Chrono said. Even though he did plan on coming back here at some point, actually being back here right now was felt as odd as it was discomforting. Not because his sister and some of his friends had ended up coming here as well, but the lack of mental preparation was slowly taking a toll on him. He would be able to bear with it for now, but for how long he wasn't sure about. Especially if they ended up needing to go home. "Everyone okay with that?" He'd asked mainly to see if anyone else had any ideas or suggestions.
Kel supposed that he couldn't be surprised to hear that two new people had tagged along in the worlds she had gone to when they had just gotten Marx's to join them and he was a wolf when they first ran into him. Just as they had entered the next chamber, two heartless had dropped down from up above, coinciding with Sora kicking the wall in frustration, nabbed both Kairi and Pinnochio and ran off. "Well don't just stand there, we won't find them just standing around here." He said to Sora, then followed behind the others in the direction they had gone.
Kel, not trusting the direction that Pinnichio wanted to go in, opted to go right
Chrono let Tinarah do most of the explaining as to why they wouldn't want to actually see their father and simply put he didn't know how to explain any of this to their father. Part of him didn't even know if he could bring himself to face his father after being gone for 3 years on top of everything else that's occurred. The time to ponder this was cut short when Master Fost opened up a doorway to their homeworld. The immediate first thing that went through his mind was why did Fost pick this place to drop them off. The only reason he didn't immediately walk out of the alleyway was the risk of him being recognized by anyone. "Well, ignoring the smell, this is home alright." His attention was aimed at the skyscrapers up above and in the distance.
Kel honestly wasn't really concerned with how he was literally dragging Pinnichio along to keep him from running off again would be perceived by other people, mainly cause he didn't actually think he would run into anyone else so soon. So running into Kaida, AJ, and Kairi was a nice surprise and so he waved his hand to signal that he's spotted her. Though, when the little kid, who was apparently Sora, came rushing at him with his wooden sword cause of the misunderstanding. Kel with no hesitation let go of Pinnochio and stepped away with his hands in the air. "See, I've let him go and not hurting him." Though unfazed by his attempt to attack, it would be better to not retaliate. He would still dodge if need be.
Kel made sure to grab onto Pinnochio to make sure that he wouldn't go anywhere else while he went Left as stated above, Kel went Left
"I think so." He would probably need to look for it if he did still have it. Alternatively, he could just use his keyblade as a method of unlocking the door, just like he did with the lock back at Eventide Town. "If nothing drastic has changed then I should be able to." Didn't change his own worries about sneaking back into his home just to get his notes and his mother's research, but he would have to deal with it. No matter how much it would still be constantly bothering him in the end.
"Yeah, Kaida and AJ were with a for a bit before we got separated somehow."Kel explained, the motioned to Pinnochio. "That would be him, he's Gepetto's son." He took his eyes off the little puppet kid just long enough make sure that the direction he wanted to go in was the right one, but Pinnochio had other plans and ran off in the wrong direction. "Hey, get back here!" Pinnochio was already gone by the time he'd spoken. Groaning, Kel looked towards the others he said, "We should go get him before something else happens" before chasing after him.
"I have a few, perhaps the library would have some helpful information." Chrono said. He doubted that they would find anything on helpful or extensive on Oricalchum, but at the very least the company they were looking for would have some public information they could take advantage of. Alternatively, he still had the notes that he made and hat their mother had back home, at the very least his own notes could have something of use. Now the risk of running into their father was the main reason behind his uncertainty of doing this as their first option. He wasn't sure if he could face his father when he had decided to just up and leave and he was even less certain about that now after everything that's happened from that day up til now. Hopefully, it wouldn't have to come to that though.
