No, pink is evil! IT REMINDS ME NOTHING OF THE HUNT!

Beuce didn't take much damage from atop his summon, due to most not being able to reach him. The few air-capable heartless that did manage to reach him were quickly dispatched by the keyblade. Jets of water rained down on the heartless below until the two people in the room crazier than Beuce began agitating the heartless again. With a groan, Beuce stopped the water and descended. He quickly laid waste to a few shadows around the pair with a well placed combo. Now that they had a moment to spare, he heaved the two madmen up onto the elephant. "Keep these two out of trouble." Dumbo nodded and flew into the air, carrying the hatter and hare with him. From aloft, Dumbo began using RapidFire to assist the party. Beuce, meanwhile, stomped out about 3 soldiers which went after him with two combos. His sights were now set on a large body. First came a strike raid, getting it injured enough to begin its berserker. Next, Beuce waited for the charge. He let it come to him, but stopped it dead in its tracks. There seemed to no longer be any ground to leave tracks in for the beast as it began floating. "You know, i dunno why i don't use gravity more. Seems pretty useful." A jump and a combo knocked the nearly-dead large body over to Base. Leaving it for him to easily finish off, the red-clad wielder went after one of the new plant heartless. He was trying to stay fairly agressive.

​

The heartless raced through the forest until he came across Sapphire laying flat against the ground. Standing above her was a girl giving her a mega-potion. "That will take care of any exterior injuries, but what's wrong is far worse than that." R said, making his presence known. He hurried over to her and kneeled over Sapphire. "The darkness in her heart has overtaken her...She won't be able to conquer it alone. I'll have to put her through awakening." R said, standing and summoning his spiked keyblade. With a black light radiating from the tip, Sapphire's chest began to glow. The next thing he knew, he was falling. A deep black surrounded him. Beneath him, he could see hints of stained glass, but it was mostly covered by a thick darkness. This was bad, She was almost lost. It was likely too late to save her heart. All he could do was save her mind. ​

Ugh. forget what i was on in my leveling cycle...
I'm just gonna take a shot in the dark and say i was on intelligence. So spending my point on that

Beuce was glad to see that Krowley had his back. As cocky as he was, allies made things easier. Although Beuce would never admit that out loud. With a swip of his keyblade, he deflected a seed back at one of the flower heartless, then yet another. "Huh...I'm actually pretty good at that...wonder why..." For some reason, the thought that it had something to do with demons came to mind. He was snapped out of it by a sharp pain in his back. A shadow had used a clawing attack from behind him. It didn't live long after that. Beuce let loose a combo on it. He was nearly hit by another, however he leaped to safety just in time. A swiftly executed strike raid put that heartless down, along with irritate a large body behind it. The thing began wildly flailing and jumping up and down. With only a slight warning, it began to charge Beuce. Not quite quick enough, the wielder took quite a heavy hit. He'd be feeling that in the morning, but he wasn't quite down for the count yet. Quickly recovering from the attack, he rolled behind it to counter. A heavy combo sent the large body flying across the are they were in. "Good god, lose some weight tubby!" He screamed at the heartless. "Here, let me help you burn a few calories." Following the horrid pun was a fire spell. The blazing orb raced across the grass and finished off its target.

Beuce allowed him self a brief chuckle at his pun. This time, he learned that when you get distracted, heartless sneak up behind you. An unfortunate shadow was impaled by his keyblade for attempting a pre-emptive stike. Heartless began to surround him, so etting out of the immediate thick of things was a good idea. He raced over to behind Krowley and summoned dumbo. Mounting the tiny elephant, Beuce issued the command to spray his foes with a stream of water from above. "Yes! Fly my pretty! Fly!"

Satsujin stepped forward silently as well, ready to undertake the ordeal. He was ready for the darkness which came flowing into him from the hands of Eon. The next thing he knew, he was standing on a glass platform, surrounded by darkness. It was largly purple in color, which an image of himself kneeling down with Narukami planted in the ground as its main picture. On the platform's edges were three pedastles, each holding a weapon. First he walked to the sword. As he grasped hold of the handle, a voice in his head gave a chryptic description of what exactly he held. '​

"The power of the warrior. Invincible Courage, A sword of terrible destruction. Is this the power you seek?" ​

It was likely so, but the assassin placed the blade back on its pedastle. He wanted to investigate the other two before making his decision. Next came the shield. ​

"The power of the guardian. Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all. Is this the power you seek?" ​

After thinking this over, he decided this would likely be the power he gave up. After all, how he usually operated was in ending the fight before you need to take a hit. Repelling attacks would prove of little value in this endeavor. Finally, the staff was next.​

"The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin. Is this the power you seek?" ​

After one quick recap in his mind of the choices presented to him, he decided. Walking over to the sword, the message for it was repeated. He nodded as it vanished in a flash of light. When asked to give something up in exchange, he walked to the shield. Upon taking it, it faded away into small specks of light. ​

"Your path is set." ​

Said the voice in his head. The sword which he had chosen as his path reappeared in his right hand as the pedastles sank into the ground. It was time to face his enemy. What appeared before him was no surprise. He had been expecting it the entire time. The blank stare from those red eyes seemed to penetrate your very soul. The figure of R stood before him. ​

​

Satsujin surpressed the anger at the sight of him and calmed his mind. If he let it get to him, he'd surely lose himself. He stood opposite the phantom R on the other end of the platform. This battle would be quick, he could tell. After conjuring a simple sword, R charged at him. This was nowhere near the strength of the real thing, but that was no reason for the assassin to hold back. Returning the charge, they met in the middle of the pillar, R attempting to impale his foe. Satsujin, however, did something unexpected. The result of his training. "Tsubaméhanta" He uttered.The assassin delivered not one slash, but three. What made this move significant was that they weren't simply quickly executed. Through sheer godlike skill, they were simultanious. With that one swift motion, R lay face-down against the glass behind him. ​

​

His eyes fluttered open, to find Beuce and Eon looking at him from above. He seemed to be sitting against the wall of the tower. From the looks of things, he was the first to awaken. ​

​

"Morning sunshine. Looks like you're the first one up. Congrats. So what path did you choose?" Inquired Beuce. He was curious as to the choices of everyone else. ​

"I chose the warrior and gave up the guardian." Satsujin answered honestly. ​

"Same as me. Good man." Beuce said, giving the assassin a pat on the shoulder and helping him up. ​

​

​

R was still unable to decide when Gexln began to speak. He said he could handle things. After giving him a nod, R took off running in the direction they had come from. Bursting out the door, he saw Xero speaking with an unfamiliar girl. He knew Xero had gotten the distress signal and thus there was no need to explain where he was going. "Xero. I trust you can help Gexln. Your younger self could dismiss it as merely someone who looked similar to herself." With that, R hurried into a dark corridor to twilight town. He raced through the town toward the forest, passing a young girl along the way. He could sense the darkness overflowing from Sapphire. He just hoped he wasn't too late. ​

Dat E

Beuce was ready to help Eon teach them the technique when Louvel stormed off mumbling about what a stupid idea this was. He groaned, why was Louvel always storming off to his room? From his bottomless pocket full of junk, Beuce pulled a megaphone. He began yelling at Louvel through it. "Attention Louvel. This is Beuce. Please remove the knot from your panties at once at come out." Once that was finished, Beuce sighed and put it away. "Seriously. I swear he's on his period 24/7." Next, Beuce turned to the rest of the group as though that hadn't happened. He was now uncharacteristcally serious. "Look, i know what you all may be thinking. 'Isn't the darkness what we're fighting?' 'Why should we let it into out hearts?' 'It's evil' and such. But i'm here to tell you that darkness isn't what you make it out to be. The darkness is only as evil as the one who uses it. The thing about it is that it has a tempting power, and most end up losing themselves in this. Light can be just as evil as darkness in the wrong hands. I've seen what it can do, and it's not pretty." Beuce said, thinking back to something from his past. "Neither one can exist without the other. Blindly following one side while scorning the other because that's the way you're told it should be just shows that you're weak minded. If you can accept and understand both, you'll be stronger than either." ​

​

The keyblade wielder sighed, finishing his speech. Any who knew him well enough would know how difficult that must have been for him. For Beuce, being serious was once compared to breaking your own fingers. He sighed, having finished the speech. "I won't lie, this isn't exactly safe. But as long as you don't lose yourself, you'll be fine. Any who still want to do this, step forward. Eon, i'm ready when you are." ​

​

​

"Clearly not." Said the disappointed nobody as he stared at the girl losing her heart to the darkness. Such a pity. She turned out to be a weakling after all. Peering into her mind, he realized she had called for R, her heartless protector. "Now what makes you think R would come for someone like you? A weakling who couldn't even handle her own darkness. Its almost laughable." He said cruely, as he drove his foot into her side. Growing bored with this girl, he turned and walked toward the mansion, ready to probe the computer's secrets. ​

Credit for the banner goes to the lovely and ever talented miss Xero.​

The heartless followed along with his "partner"'s act of being a secret agent. As stylishly as the human mind could comprehend, he waved his hand and materialized a pair of mirrored sunglasses and placed them over his eyes. He stared at Roe with a cold expression on his face. She had come here through a door, same as they did. What kind of anomaly had let her enter here? Surely it wasn't Merlin. They would have to investigate this at a later date. Their main goal here was the stone. However, Roe seemed to want to come along. This was troublesome. She didn't seem to be possessed by ansem yet, and going into the dark realm certainly wasn't the way to protect her from it. ​

​

His train of thought was cut short by a sort of feeling. Like a sixth sense. This extra sense was granted by the stones he created for contact between the darks. This one in particular was Sapphire's. He knew that because Gexln held one of the stones, it would reach him as well. Could he handle getting the stone alone? Could R even trust him with such a task? Maybe not. He wasn't sure what to do. Help Sapphire or secure the stone...​

R stood silent as the eccentric girl came up and asked him several questions about his identity, most of them being utter nonsense. She reminded him a bit of one of the lights he had encountered. A white haired man by the name of Beuce, whom R actually lost to due to a fluke. Either way, he could figure out that this was in fact Xero's somebody. Then it hit him. If Roe was alive during this time, One could only imagine just how old Xero actually was. Were R a less serious individual, he might've chuckled when Gexln spoke in the dark language. However he remained stern and expressionless. He caught onto what Gexln was doing nearly immediately, and decided to play along. "Indeed Agent G." ​

​

​

The dark creator chuckled as he effortlessly dodged the dark firage sent at him. "What was that? You've got power running out your fingertips but you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn." He mocked with a fiendish laugh. "Surely that isn't all you can do. A simple dark firaga?" Xindai asked, attempting to push her further. ​

​

"I'm sorry man, i didn't know." Beuce said, scratching the back of his head. To be honest, he didn't even know that Eon and Karina had been together. 'With Karina's genes, they probably punched their way out or something.' Beuce said in his head. Even he knew better than to voice this thought though. As they were walking down the tower, Beuce turned his head to his old friend. "Hey, do you know what happened to Ananta?" ​

​

The assassin silently followed behind the group, walking gracefully. Without a keyblade, it was likely he wouldn't be able to learn this new ability they were about to be taught. However, he accompanied the group just in case. In addition, he was mildly curious as to what it was.​

Beuce's green eyes were fixated on the horse which had run by them after Alice. He thought he caught a glimpse of the rider, but wasn't entirely certain. Even if he was right, it made no difference as it wasn't a good enough look to tell anything and it was now out of their reach. He groaned, wanting to give chase. However, this wasn't the time for that. Heartless were appearing and teacups were flying. The sound of shattering glass pulled his attention to the fight. In a flash of light, a small wooden keyblade was in his hand. It wasn't much in the department of strengthening him, but it had its uses. The white haired keyblader began charging toward the foes like a bull attempting to gore its target. Normally running headfirst into a swarm of heartless was a bad idea, but not when you had the ability Beuce did.

With a quick leap forward, light engulfed him and took the form of a rotating shield around his body. He was temporarily defended from harm as well as mounting an offensive manuever. "Strike!" He called, as the heartless had resembled bowling pins to him. This barrier was, however, quick to fade. Though it didn't last long, it made way for the other wielders to follow suite and lay waste to the heartless. From his experience in these situations, he knew that once the last foe was dead, the barrier would drop and they were free to give chase. He just hoped the could catch up.

Beuce summoned his keyblade and placed it in the pile. "I'm not much one for sentimentals, but i'll help with whatever you need from me. After all, where would you be without me?" Beuce said with a grin. Before further speech was possible, a voice called from the shadows. ​

​

​

"I shall aid you as well. I owe a debt to you, Caleb." The assassin said, placing his long Katana in the ever-growing pile of weapons. His unrivaled skills as an assassin were made apparent by his now revealed presence. He had kept himself entirely hidden. Undoubtedly this would be a vital asset to the lights. "A few berserkers are hardly worth the help you gave me during my battle with R. I never leave debts unsettled." Said Satsujin calmly. There was a different air about him than the last time he'd encountered Caleb. Last time he had been angry and thirsty for blood. This time he was more collected, as though a state of enlightenment had been reached. He remained silent for the next few moments. ​

​

​

The heartless stepped through the door into a world most unlike anything he had ever experienced. For one, it was utterly devoid of color. It wasn't until a moment later that he realized the change to his appearance. He was now in the style of an old cartoon. The contrast to his regular appearance was nearly comical. He barely had time to notice this before a violent and overpowering nausia hit him like a wall. His gaze was turned to the shining orb of light in front of him, encasing the cornerstone of light from the past. He knew full well that getting any closer would be a death sentence. R simply turned to the side and began walking away from it. The sickness it inflicted on him lessened the farther he got from it. Once there was enough distance to concentrate through his discomfort, he turned around, assuming Gexln had followed him.​

​

​

"I think not" Xindai said, catching her ankle with his telekinetic powers and tripping her. He slowly walked after her. She had resisted his persuasion for the moment, so she had at least SOME willpower. He stood her up and made her face him. His slight grin present on his face. Once again, he tried his brain-washing. "You will show me this darkness of yours. Lose yourself in it. Bring it out and unleash its power." Said the dark creator, his hypnotic voice thickening the air like mental pollutant.​

​

My god...It's him.
My old nemesis, broken image box...I thought i put an end to his reign of terror years ago!

Despite being far away, Quinn could hear the conversation once a bit of his magic was poured into that sense. He had been avoiding doing so before, so as to give the two privacy, but now didn't seem like the time for that. From the conversation, he could guess that this mysterious girl was one of the passing. He nearly leaped into action when he saw a smile on Sasha's face. Why would she be smiling? As though a gear had been turned in his mind, it clicked into place. He figured out her plan. Not wanting to hinder it by playing the hero, he turned his gaze to Cammy, who he imagined would try to go after her. "Come on Cammy! Let's go back to Carson. Sasha can handle this herself." "Carson" being the alias he had come up with for Caleb. It took every ounce of willpower in the prince's body to not come to the aid of the girl when she was shoved down. He had known her most of his life. To see her treated so poorly infuriated him, but he had to let it go.

​

The hangman was utterly unphased by the threats directed at him by Iris. "Judgement will prevail" He said in his raspy warped voice, indicating some kind of punishment was being delivered. The raven now departed from his shoulders perched itself on a nearby rooftop, looking rather inconspicuos. Tristan Rains meerly continued forward at the duo, unflinching in the face of their weaponry. Another crack of the whip was sent flying at them, guided by a caw echoing down the streets through the droplets of water pouring down from the sky. ​

Beuce stood in the tower fuming at the lack of having a banner because the post writer was too lazy to search for his, then watched the new arrival come in. It took him a second to recognize him. After all, he had been 12 the last time he saw him. despite the serious talk, Beuce was carefree as always. "Heeey Eon buddy!" Beuce said, wrapping an arm around his neck and rubbing his knuckles on the top of his head in a friendly greeting. "Ah i missed you, ya little tank you. Good to see someone from SOS. You would not freaking believe how hard it is to climb through the fourth wall into another RP. I'm just glad it wasn't Karina. Whew, she's scary in the RP as it is. Just imagine her endgame strength." The white haired man said with a shiver. Clearly something he didn't want to think about. ​

​

​

Although he remained expressionless, R was glad that the door had been summoned. While it could have been better if Xero had come along, it couldn't be helped. "Xero, Guard the door. Make sure no one else follows us through." he paused, then in the dark language spoke. He had a hunch she would be able to understand him, being ansem's host. "In the event you're needed, i will send a message to you. Then, and only then, you are to incapacitate the wizard before he can dismiss the door and follow us through. Do not kill him. I would like to avoid casualties if i can." The words were cryptic and incomprehensible to those who couldn't speak it. Likely most people there aside from his group would be included in this. He nodded to Gexln, and opened the door to the past.​

"Well at first i came to investigate the computer hidden in this mansion. It seems a lot of valuable information is hidden on it." Xindai paused, then leaned in close to sapphire. He whispered in her ear. "However, that powerful darkness of yours called out to me. Show me a bit of it won't you?" The dark creator said, his voice layered with hypnotic tones, bending her very mind to his will. ​

The dark creator appeared on the roof of twilight town's abandoned mansion. He gazed across the forest, now barren of leaves and desolate. The plants were practically smashed to the ground. It didn't look as though any solid object had made contact with them, so he deduced an abnormally strong gravity spell as the culprit. His multicolored eyes scanned the forest, taking sight of a small red haired girl wandering through it. She seemed harmless enough, but a quick trip into her thoughts told a very different tale. Inside her was a roaring darkness, just waiting to be set free. In addition, she new a thing or two about R. Xindai couldn't pass up the opportunity. That darkness was wild and out of control. Put it in control, and it's a force to be reckoned with. He slowly glided down next to her, offering a misleading hand to help her up.


His anger no longer surfaced, R put a calm hand on Xero's shoulder as if to tell her to let him handle things. He turned his blank gaze to the wizard. "I apologize for my actions. They were reckless and brash. Although our foe was no ally to you either. But i Implore you to let us through into the past! There is a war on its way, approaching faster than any of us would like to think. One side must win. If neither does, then i can gurentee the damage to your house will seem trivial by comparison. My only wish is to evade this and build a better world beyond it." R pleaded, attempting to convince merlin that he meant well to them, seeking to spare them from the impending doom Kingdom hearts would cast. In all honesty, it wasn't far from the truth. ​
