It didn't quite sound like AJ's method had completely helped Kaida, but she had said it was fine. Even if it wasn't, there was much that Kel could do about it. After all, he barely remembered Hikaru himself. Kel pushed these thoughts and hopefully, he wouldn't forget them in the time he went to respond to Marxs. "She may not be our leader, but I see no reason to disagree with her if you're willing to help us." 10/30
While Kel may have still been iffy on the seven guardians of light, but the princesses of light were a different matter. Not only had he been shown a list of them, and saved technically two of them despite not knowing one was a princess of light til afterward. Really either option didn't have too much appeal to him, but there didn't seem to be much he could do about it as implied by Marx. "Maybe, still unsure about it though." Kel was surprised to hear what it was that was bothering Kaida, more so was how he did recall the events that she was referring and the person in question, but his mind was coming up blank in regards to any name. Kel thought harder on this and his mind ended up wandering back to his time in Deep Jungle and a certain blue suited male. Krowley? No, while it was true it didn't quite feel right for this individual. Something was telling him that at least. Maybe...maybe it was his heart that was telling him this, much like AJ had said himself. In fact, the name that AJ had said sounded familiar, not only that but actually felt right. Right by what he assumed to be his heart telling him that. "Hikaru. Yeah, that sounds about right." 9/30
It hadn't been a fond feeling that returned to Chrono once the area around them had finished shifting into Eventide. Said feeling had only grown worse when the sky had darkened once more and the heartless themselves had appeared. In an odd sort of way, this would be a good thing as this had been the first real big battle that he had participated in. How easily he could handle this would show just how much progress he had made since that day. Calling forth his keyblade and holding it so that the tip was pointing towards one of the massive clumps of shadows, Chrono started focusing on that spot as a cascade of light formed at the tip of his blade. The light seemed to have grown into an orb before firing off in a combination of Thundara and Ragnarok that struck both the shadows on the ground. Chrono used Thundara and Ragnarok 75/100 Shadows Remain HP: 145/145 MP: 26/35 FOC: 51/56 FLUX: 4/4
Kel hadn't been expecting the story of the crystals to be as extensive as it was, but regardless he listens and tried to understand as much of what he was told as possible. Unfortunately, between the names of people, events, and groups being thrown around, it was hard to get a complete grasp on them. In the end, he had a pretty general grasp on everything which was enough to follow along at the very least. "You sure that they're among us?" Kel asked. His doubt was more in towards himself than anyone else. That seemed to be a big role and wasn't something he trusted himself doing. Taking himself away from his own self-doubts, for the time being, he noticed how Kaida seemed to be. To say the least, she looked distressed, having no idea why she was like this left him with no idea on what to say. Or if there was anything he could say right now. 8/30
There had been quite the story behind that book of Marx and even the crystals themselves were somewhat special. Kel had taken a look to them as he mentioned them being representative of the seven guardians like, which had confused him slightly. "How exactly do these crystals represent them?" They all looked the same to him which made seeing the representation even harder to spot. 7/30
The farmer paused briefly, seemingly double-checking his own instructions before shaking his head towards the group. "Nope, just follow my instructions and you'll be fine. Now I really must be going and I do appreciate ya'll going to all this trouble for me. " With a wave to the group and a kiss blown towards Fluffkins (who actually grimaced in return), the farmer had left. Zephyr, whose attention had been spilt between the farmer and the alpaca itself, turned his attention to the group once he had left. "I suppose we should feed her first." Having never owned a pet, the uncertainty in regards what to do was strong. "Unless anyone else has a better idea." The floor was open and he was hoping that someone else would have something better to offer. 10,000 jewels weren't too much for her and she was quick to dig through her pockets to find the exact amount and hand it to the man. She returned the look that Everette had given her with a simple smile and carried on with her shopping. Said shopping really only being accepting the bag with the necklace and thanking the clerk. With nothing else, she returned to the other with her bag in hand. "See, that didn't take too long."
Vallus took a look at the two he had been grouped up with and while there were no feelings of relief or anything to that nature, the fact that he had been put into the same group as Koa was a benefit in some way. Lynn, on the other hand, he was still unsure about. More importantly was the supposed orb they were supposed to find. He had a hard time seeing how something so simple could be the key to defeating Nequa. "Fine by me." Was all Vallus had said before returning to his usual silence.
Kel understood that it was a matter of respect but overall didn't change that fact that he didn't bow. Instead of voicing it once again, he kept this to himself and instead watched Marx's write in his book. He remembered seeing him do the same earlier on their ride here and then thought nothing of it. Now though he was a bit curious as to what he was writing. "Is that book important to you?" 6/30
After the nudge from Aria, Chrono went on ahead and started looking at the machines suited for a group of their size or larger. Soon as he saw the name 'Kefka' Chrono immediately walked away from the ones for 5 people and looked at the next one. Looked challenging, but nothing outside of what they would (hopefully) be able to handle. "How bout this then?" Chrono offered, pointing to the 'Blast From the Past'.
For starters Kel had been relieved that once the actual fight had ended, all the of the flames were put out meaning that the flames that had been slowly burning him were gone finally. In the next instance, he was awestruck at the change in scenery as well as Te Ka turning into was appaerently the goddess Te Fiti herself. Both unexpected and pleasantly surprising excluding how they were technically trying to kill one another earlier. "Isn't bringing her heart back enough gratitude?" Honestly, that seemed like a bigger deal than just simply bowing. Though if anyone else had chosen to bow, then he would do the same. 4/30
"I can help with that too." Chrono said, making himself the third person in the group Aria had started forming. Tinarah had already taken it upon herself to go ahead by herself, not to mention she didn't seem to be in the best of moods after that meeting so perhaps this would be a good thing for her. Give her a chance to blow off some steam. Thinking about it wouldn't help, instead, he looks towards the other machines that weren't currently in use. "Which one do you want to try out then?"
Te Ka was definitely reeling after that last wave of attacks, which granted a moment of confidence in their chances of beating this beast. Even with the large amount of damage that Te Ka has sustained, it wasn't out of the fight just yet and with a mighty eruption, the skies darkened as smoke bloated out the skies and lava rained from the sky. Visibility lessens as the smoke that had fallen started to sting his eyes while the actual lava that had been falling from the skies was dealing it own fair share of damage. Through squinted eyes, he still saw both Kaida and Stratos launching their attacks on Te Ka and with the conditions as they currently were, he decided to do the same. Once more Kel lept forward to attack, his keyblade glowing an assortment of colors before settling on a brilliant white. "Excalibur!" The blade of light struck its target while Kel managed to find footing on Maui's shark form, who had positioned himself underneath him after biting at the lava monster once more. Kel used Paradigm Shift - Excalibur Maui used Shark Bite 3/30
While ignoring the flames to the best of his abilities, it didn't help that overall that he was feeling pretty worse for wear as a whole. A few haggard breaths later and Kel felt the familiar wave of healing wash over him alongside the faint green glow. He glanced to see the same glow emanating from Stratos's keyblade. "Appreciate that." A thumbs up towards his friend and Kel shoued, "Hey Maui! You're up!" Kel summoned Maui Maui used Shark Bite 2/30
Lazuli was relieved to see Auburn hop off of his hand before gradually returning to her normal size. She was silent about too, so he had barely been able to notice that she had done so in the first place. His hand soon found its way back into his pocket as Lazuli continued to scan around the area for any indication of them getting closer to the temple. His efforts had been rewarded as they had arrived. The large body of water was fitting for the temple of the water guardian and the plants added a more natural feel to it. It all was so quiet and tranquil, which in a different scenario would've been a good thing. Right now, however, it was more concerning than anything. His hands grip the handle to his blade as he followed behind the others, this time he would be ready for anything that might jump out of them. With little choice of his own, Vice was dragged along up until they had reached the temple they were looking for. Not being one to 'stop and take in the scenery' his attention was more focused on the path that had appeared in front of them. In fact, once it had formed he wasted no time making his way tot he front and walking onward.
Surprisingly enough, having lava dumped on him didn't do as much as he thought it would do. However, it did light him on fire and despite the initial moments of frantically trying to put out the flames on him, nothing seemed to work. Against his better judgment, Kel ignored the flames and went to attack Te Ka once more with another overhead attack. Spotting a familiar robot flying around made Kel feel better about that decision somewhat. Kel activated Power Aura Lvl1 Kel used Poison Edge 1/30
The way Kaio had spoken to them irked Chrono but was quickly overshadowed by the other methods. Out of the three, the second one was what he would've preferred to go with, but hearing about the chances of making those weapons was disheartening, to say the least. The Flammie was an interesting approach, but not one he could completely agree with. "And where do you plan on getting this darkness from?" The Realm of Darkness was the obvious answer, but beyond that, he couldn't see what force of darkness that could rival the light chaser and still being beneficial to them in the long run.
The ship came to a stop and Kel stood up, his keyblade already summoned and at the ready as the mountain turned into a full-fledged lava monster. "We've gotten this far, so let's do this." With a thumbs up pointed to Moana, he leaped forward towards the hulking beast that was Te ka and struck down on its head with his keyblade. Kel used Aerial Slam
Torrin getting up in arms to attack Chrys wasn't much of a surprise, in fact, he had the most reason to do so out of the people currently still in the kitchen. However, Lumen's act of bravery was surprising. Granted had it not been for Qamar's interruption, it is entirely likely that Torrin would've gone through Lumen to get to her. Master Selene had been the next to arrive to usher them all to a meeting. It did enough to ease the tension of the current situation and Chrono followed behind her. Once more they found themselves in the room with most of the masters that weren't looking for this 'warrior of light' or Gilgamesh. As they were brief/updated on various different topics, Chrono himself glanced over to Chrys. So her off-handed remark about being chased out was true. He couldn't deny that he was wondering why, but at the same time, it didn't change that he didn't trust her. Unlike Torrin though, he wasn't going to immediately act on said distrust. "And what are the other options you've been looking into?" More importantly, would they be of any use to them, the students, and not just calling in on someone else to help them. Truthfully he'd rather some sort of weapon or something to that nature.

Chrono merely offered a wave when Torrin had introduced him to the new new guy who had just entered the kitchen. He was certainly an energetic one, but what stuck out to him more was the dragon that had perched itself upon his shoulder. Seeing a dragon was not much of a surprise as it should've been any more, least friendly dragons. However, there was the thought of how Take would handle being around a dragon again. He seemed to be fine with Flammie in the brief times she was around. Then came a third voice from the doorway. A quick looked revealed that the voice had come from Chrys, which lead to its own set of questions. Most noticeably 'Why was she here?' "There should still be something to eat." Chrono took one more sip from his, admittedly cooling, hot chocolate. First, two actual newcomers had shown up and now one of the Light Chasers' apprentices too. It made for an eventful morning at the very least.
