The moment Chrono had stepped outside of the cave he took himself a seat. After everything that happened you would think he'd be happy to finally have all of his memories back, yet in reality he wasn't happy nor sad about it. He wasn't sure how to feel really. There were no more questions on what he did or didn't do nor any holes to spawn said questions. All he could do was sigh, sigh while gazing off into the distance. "Now what am I supposed to do?"
Maybe they weren't as John and Ratcliffe said, Luna had a point with that. Maybe it was just the fact that Ratcliffe had compared them to said savages shortly after they had arrived or how he just didn't like him. Either way he didn't rule out the possibility of something being different about these savages. "Well they're not as aggressive as I thought they would be upon hearing the name. Maybe we just haven't gotten into their territory yet for them to act." As long as they weren't in their territory they had no reason to act which made sense on paper.
Kel had nodded in agreement to both what Luna had proclaimed and what Aislinn had added on, all in one nod in fact. Camping did sound like fun and all and he would love to try it out. "Speaking about those...'savages', what do you guys think they're like." Taking away how weird it felt to call them that, especially with his mental image he added on. On top of that they looked similar to them as they were accused of being savages when they first got here.
Kel looked around at the woods that surrounded them, they were certainly in the right place to do so should they decide to. Depending on who or rather what these 'savages' were it might pose a threat. "I don't see no reason why not." There was a brief silence in which Luna spoke with Aislinn. Kel remained idle and just watched the surroundings around them. They were supposed to be still on the look out for any 'savages' anyway.
Kel listened along to Luna's story, nodding along due to somewhat understanding where she was coming from. As nice as all that sounded, it wasn't something that he could really see himself doing. Back home the nearest woods had a more 'interesting' set of residents alongside its usual group which made things dangerous. Some of the more threatening ones were the reason that they had a wall up in the first place. It made for an effective deterrent for them to have to deal with. Of course, silently listening wouldn't answer her question. "Sounds like a cool experience, wish I could do that myself."
Kel may not have had any idea who this Thomas person was, but he didn't appreciate someone who looked like that saw that he was weaker than someone. His other remark didn't fly well with Luna and presumably Aislinn either. Slowly Kel was starting to feel glad that he wasn't from this 'England' place. If the people there were anything like Ratcliffe then it was something he could live without. "You really do like nature Luna." An idle comment for sure, but it would help pass the time unless something happened.
The splinting up didn't faze him as much as the Noire had gone along with the others. Certainly an unintentional advantage that they would have should she assist them with the trials. Then again, she wasn't quite the most friendly person or cooperative with them. Somehow the idea of her getting past the trial with easy and just waiting didn't surprise him. Lazuli kept one of his hands resting near his weapons as they walked as a precaution. It turned out to be the right move when they heard the rustling, he stopped slightly and moved his sword slightly from its hilt. Should it be a small animal then this would be an over reaction, should it be a grimm and this might not even be enough. He said nothing and remained on guard for what might happen next. The Grimm shaped masked had immediately caught the attention of Vice. A cheap way of trying to look intimidating. They certainly weren't going to go back so a fight was likely to occur now, which was perfectly fine by him. A good fight could prove to be helpful right now. Vice couldn't help but to scoff at what Arian said, doubting his capabilities to actually kill one of his own then drew out his contained weapon before turning it into its hammer form.
There were others inside of the warehouse, but none of them looked like they had any intent to fight. Chrono flew down towards the entrance to cut off any escape they might try to take. A part of him wanted to laugh at Take 'embracing' the whole hero thin, evident by the chuckle that found its way out, but he also held back groaning. The downside of seeing all this after growing out of the phase in which he would take part in this. He only saw two of them and their shouts form earlier had mentioned a third. "Where's this Bowler Hat Guy you were talking about earlier?" Chrono had gotten off his glider by this point and reverted it to its usual keyblade shape and held it outstretched towards Xerek and Kronk by extension.
When they had arrived Kel hadn't expected to hear anyone's voice anytime soon, so the fact that he had heard two distinct voices was a surprise. They'd mentioned something about savages and then they were asked if they were the apparent savage in question. Apparently these savages look more human like and not quite what the first thing that popped into Kel's head. "I'm Kel and as you can see, we do speak English."
Vallus wasn't sure as to why, but there was a faint alarm sound in the back of is mind when Aeira had mentioned his inability to fly. It was a given that he couldn't fly, so she was just stating the obvious so why would there be something off about that. The answer had made itself clear once Aeira grabbed on to his arm and launched him into the air. Uttering the words "What the hell!" As he went flying through the air, reaching the apex of his unwilling ascent, it was easier to spot the tallest building and its general direction. Despite how much of a plus that was, he didn't appreciate being tossed in the air like this. The descend down wasn't as hazardous as it was for a certain red haired elsword character thanks to his time ability. A few consecutive uses of this and he was safety on the ground. "Never do that again." He said, then pointing off towards the direction of the building. "Its that way however."
A straightforward plan like that wasn't too surprising to hear. Chrono had called for his own glider having watched Torrin do so himself. "Good luck to you too." He watched as the other group had headed towards towards the streets, then took a seat on his glider. He thought it'd be best to get use to being on it, even if they weren't going anywhere right this second. He had sat there for a little bit, swinging his legs too and fro idlely just as he'd heard Boreas's shouts. "Looks like they've started." Chrono then glanced over towards the hat wearing heroes, waiting to see how they would respond.
There a brief feeling of accomplishment when Zephyr's attack had struck the spider head on. The mage remained ready though in the event the spider was able to counter attack. The flames from his magic had returned to his arm, coating his forearm in flames. From the corner of his eye he spotted the trail of flames that had spawned from Thea and igniting the beast in even more fiyah flames. It ends was dealt by a swift magic spike through it head by Izra. All this considered that was well. To which he gave Izra a thumbs up to her question, "I'm ready." All that was left for them now was the actual demon behind all of this and it would be brought down by their hands.
With the majority of the others agreeing to the current plan, Chrono couldn't really do much about it besides go along with it as well. Least the plan in itself wasn't a bad one, there was still risk with what they were doing. "What's the plan for when we actually get in warehouse then?" Chrono had shot a look towards Torrin when he'd asked. Looking around and being wary of anything that might be waiting for them was a give, but if it was just filled with more crates we they supposed break those as well? Chrono doubted that and continued trying to figure out what could be inside the warehouse.
Happy Birthday
While not completely ditching the idea of gender not being a requirement, hearing that in was did narrow things down a bit. The rest of what Boreas had said did make sense. The Light Chaser had taken a lot of by sending Tinarah to another realm if she was the second pure light. As for Iliiana, she didn't really have the attitude of one from what he's seen as well as his one interaction with him, but she was the last one on this current hypothesis. "That will just leave Illiana, which still seems odd to me." The conversation would have to be continued another time, hopefully with more information, as Torrin had spotted a warehouse up ahead. All of the missing heroes were there with those same bowler hats stop their heads. "Being taken by surprise or being outnumbered is nothing new to heroes, so I don't think it'll be quite that easy." Baiting one of them out was a better plan in comparison. "How would we go about luring them out. I don't think calling for help is gonna instantly get their attention."
With the tendrils that were restraining had vanished, Chrono had felt the relief as well as the freedom to be able to use his limbs. "I'm...fine?" Chrono had said, noticeably confused about why Daeni had made it a point to help him when he most certainly wasn't one who needed help. That honor went to Cerdic, who she did go to assist. Some satisfaction was felt watching the dark creature shrink as it lost its darkness, but the lingering disdain remained when the darkness took a form similar to his. He didn't want to be reminded that all this was connected to him. Chrono had laid eyes on the portal right as his memories had returned. There was no pain this time around, in fact the missing memories had just fit into place like a puzzle. It had put some things into perspective and answered some of the questions that still lingered about in the former haze that was his head, but overall it didn't make him feel any better. Any room for doubt was gone. "Just get it over with." Chrono was quick to turn away from the portal and walk towards the cave entrance. Now having all his memories had left him no desire to stick around here. He wanted to be away from it all, especially while some desires still lingered about within.
"I think it was two days ago." Take had informed him about this yesterday, so the day before sounded like a reasonable assumption. Chrono held back a chuckle considering that he had considered eavesdropping in the event he spotted Thallssa and Torrin having a conversation away from everyone. He looked down to make sure that his footing had changed at all while speaking to Boreas, then looked back at him with one finger held up. "I haven't heard anything for certain, but I do have some guesses. If we use Aria as a base, then the other pure light could be either Illiana or Tinarah." Needless to say he didn't want it to end up being his sister. Raising another finger, Chrono continued. "Though if we removed gender being a requirement, then in addition to those two, myself, Take and Glyde are possible choices." Which also had its fair share of concerns if any of those three ended up being the second pure light.
His first look was towards the groups that had been paired up while his next one was at the list of trials that had been present before them as well. They were simple enough at a glance, but it wouldn't be much of a trial if they were as simple as they seemed. "Alright." His lack of a preference for which trial they did first was evident as he merely followed behind Aeira as she wished to climb a building. From what he could see, there were a multitude of tall building all over. "Any ideas on trying to find this building that aren't simply looking up at the sky?"
Chrono had been surprised to see that Boreas of all people had flown back to interact with him. Nothing against the guy, he seemed alright from the one prior interaction they have had, but he had assumed he'd stay in the front alongside Torrin. His question was a fair one, one he was hoping he wouldn't have to answer until he had either more information or a concrete answer. That was not the case. Denying anything was out of the question, especially after what he'd said to Torrin. Weighing his options and pondering the different ways this could go, Chrono sighed having picked a course of action. "I was hoping to avoid this until I had some more information, but I guess it can't be helped. He'd overheard them talking about the possibility of another pure light being in our group." A condensed very sure, but more questions were sure to follow. Just mentioning the fact that they could be another pure light would've sparked questions in itself.
Being restrained by the dark creature was everything but ideal for Chrono. In this state there was nothing else that he could do beside attempt to break free from said restraints. Said attempts were feeble at best, but it was all that he could do. "Just focus on the extractor right now." Cerdic and himself could no nothing from their position, nothing to help defend the extractor or repel the monster. Finishing them could be easily done if it really wanted to. The extractor was its prime focus which meant that they were not a priority for the time being.
