In an instant the sound of glass shattering filled the room followed by two figures dropping down. One look basically out of a comic book while the other looked to be much more intimidating by comparison. The more comic book looking one had managed to get Mr Incredible on to fight against them. That present a major issue cause they still couldn't use any magic. The only thing that would make it worse would be if they couldn't use their keyblade at against, especially against the man who could probably snap them like twigs if what he did to that table was anything to go off of. The others had seemingly first their targets Aria and Tinarah attacked Mezermella, Qamar went after the white masked man while Illiana ran pat Mr. Incredible. Peronally Chrono was more concerned about the white masked man as per his occasional glances towards him, but with the impeding threat that was Mr. Incredible looming over them, focus had to be put somewhere and Chrono choose to put said focus on the entranced super hero. "Just don't get hit." He muttered to himself, repeatedly, running around Mr Incredible to find an opening.
Kel was given a short break upon landing after felling the massive heartless cause he'd landed right in the middle of the horde he'd run through to defeat it. The run there was easy enough to make cause it was nothing more that shadows in his way, however this time there were neoshadows making up the bulk of the group that surrounded him. To make matters worse, another Invisible had floated its way over to where Kel was. Surprisingly none of the heartless had made a single move to attack him despite clearly having the numbers advantage against him. Yes he did just prove that he could beat who was likely their strongest force out of all of them, but that only when so far. Meaning if about a hundred of them jumped them all at once, while he would still probably make it out of that mess alive, there was no way he would be getting out of it unscathed. Stranger still, the heartless all stopped moving when the Invisible had finally arrived. This one was clearly sporting a cocky look on its face as it looked down upon him, not to mentioned that it was had floated down and stared him down from his higher position. This heartless was challenging him wasn't it. Not as obvious given the lack of expressions on its face, but there was something for certain that told him that it wanted him to try and beat it. Kel would've been happy to oblige in this challenge seeing as it clearly wanted it, but the moment he took a single step forward a good five neoshadows jumped in his path, with the obligatory one regular shadow chilling next to a neoshadow. That poor shadow didn't get to do much as the very same neoshadow it stood next to impaled it with its claws, picked it up and launched it at Kel at full force. This caught him fully off guard and he jumped out of the way before it hit him. He stood up, took another look at the Invisible who had made a small motion with its hand. That motion had set off the five neoshadows that blocked Kel's progress and they attacked him all at once. Kel countered by casting graviga on the ground in front of him, forcing all of the heartless down to the ground for a brief amount of time. It may have been brief, but still long enough for Kel to deliver a devastating fist bump to one of the heartless and sending it flying back into the crowd in a fiery explosion. Somehow not a single other heartless was caught in said explosion. Kinda odd, but whatever. His gravity spell had worn off and the other neoshadows had slinked into the ground and headed towards the keyblade wielder. One of them jumped high in the sky while the other had chosen to strike from the ground, seemingly making it so that regardless of what actions Kel took, one of them would land a blow. Unfortunately for Kel, his attention was more focused on the one who had jumped into the air. By the time he'd realized the ground one was getting close, he'd already been grazed by the blow despite his last ditch attempt to dodge. The pain was minimal and as the heartless tried to duck back into the ground, Kel grabbed hold of its arm and chucked it at the air towards its friends. Claw first so when they collided, they had pretty much impaled each other which dissolved them both. Three down and two more to go, two that were promptly dealt with a zantesuken. An act that was followed by Kel making his on 'bring it on' motion towards the invisible that had caused all this.

When Luna had taken off her crown, Kel took that as a chance to get a closer look at it. He was taking in the information that she was telling him about it as well and nodded along to her tale. Back on his home monarchy's were not really a thing anymore, in fact the only reason why he even knew about them was because of some of the history lessons he was given as a kid. What he had mainly remembered from those lessons was that the prince of their last king had officially made a declaration to abolish the monarchy and even gone out of his way to live like the common people. It was a respectable move, but one he was curious as to why. A reason he would probably know if he had fully paid attention in those classes. "That's pretty admirable." Beuce had joined their little group and following some more casual chatting, Kel ventured through the portal. What waited for them on the other side of the portal wasn't quite what he was expecting at all. The darkness was just a reminded that they were still trapped in the realm of darkness plus the stark island in the distance was really caught his attention. Was that supposed to be their ticket outta here? If that were true, then who was the strange man that happened to be standing directly in their way. Whoever this man was knew Nequa and that alone was concerning for Kel specifically. That streak of misfortune whenever she was around would be something that he never forgets. Least until he could he well earned payback, but that's not the main focus here. What was the focus was how this man had just summoned forth a massive horde a heartless to impede their progress. The sight brought back many...unpleasant memories from the last time a horde of heartless was sent their way. "Here we go again." There was no way around it either. With both his hands outstretched, Kel called forth both of his keyblades and set his sights on the Invisible heartless that floated above the massive heartless floated above the mass horde of smaller heartless. He took a firm step forward and dashed off towards the horde, he ignored the smaller ones that made the occasional swipe at him. Only the ones that had actually gotten in his path were struck down. Three shadows had all jumped at once and met a swift end by Kel throwing his oathkeeper keyblade at the group, dissolving them into dust before said keyblade returned to his hand. The invisible heartless had just been floating there watching the young keyblade wielder approach it with the usual blank expression that most heartless wore on their face. Not showing any clear signs of emotions, but there was the sense that it was looking down on Kel. Not because it was a higher elevation that Kel, but because somewhere in that void in the center of its chest it felt like it could beat him with each. Kel would be certain to fix that and leap into the air, poised to deliver a decisive strike to the heartless. It wouldn't be that easy though, being masters wouldn't change that. The blades collided mid air with Kel fortunately having more force behind his attack due to being the aggressor. Kel only needed one of his keyblades to keep the heartless preoccupied and aimed his second one right at the Invisibles face. "Thunder!" The electric sparks shot out of his keyblade and blasted the heartless square in its face. Without its head, its body both started to descend slowly from the ground while dissolving and crushing another 3 shadows and one neoshadow that were unfortunate enough to be underneath it.

The extractor was put together and seeing the spot in which to put the core, with Alder's guidance, and went to go put it into the machine. He could only move so fast while carrying it given its wait and the added level of caution to take to not drop it. In that regard he was more concerned with dropping it on himself rather than it breaking. Standing before the extractor, Chrono inserted the core into its designated position. He pushed it in, taking a few seconds to make sure that it was sturdy and in place. "The core is in place!"
Not knowing to what extent in which she missed her violin, Chrono was surprised to see her start playing it right away. The surprised faded away shortly after he listened more intently into the song. The improvement was evident, like very evident given she was five years younger last time he's heard her play. "You've gotten better." He was impressed and he wasn't really hiding it at all. He was...surprised by what Edna had chosen to say about him and was both curious and concerned as to what else she had jotted down about him. He reached up and grabbed a strand of his hair, it being just long enough for him to look at it himself, did it stick out that much when compared to everything else? "Don't tell me she's going to give me something flashy." Mr Incredible words had lead to this concern forming. He already didn't want a suit to begin with, let alone something that might make him 'less forgettable' .
The first thing that Chrono did after his sprint into the cave was to grab the extractor core that had still be laying right where they had left it the last time they were here. As Alder had said the gloves had allowed him to touch the core, shown as he was able to lift it up without burning his hands. Though now he was kinda stuck as he did not want to try putting it in himself and have something go wrong. Namely anything that would cause him to lose the few memories he was able to recall. "Alright Alder, waiting for the next instruction here!" He could see what was happening to Moira out of the corner of his eye and it did not bode well.
Needless to say Chrono was surprised by how rainbow coated the violin was. He'd seen her user her ability before, usually in the mist o combat and therefore no time to actually focus on the visual affects it had. The violin was indeed coated in the same rainbow light that typically covered them and beyond that, the violin itself was in mint condition. "No it's fine, I appreciate the effort." Chrono took hold of the violin once the rainbow bubble surrounding it had popped and rejoined the others as they walked further into the home. The smaller stature of Edna Mode was a shock, short lived, but a shock regardless. Chrono then realized that he still had Tinarah's violin in hand and looked to find his sister. Spotting and making his way over to where she was, he held out the violin and bow to her. "Sorry about that, I wanted to make sure that nothing happened to it until I could give it back to you."

His preemptive attack had been a success and prompted Uniform to retreat. An action that followed a variety of people arriving and leaving to the scene of the fight. A robot of sorts, a pod, two people that apparently Kiara knew and finally the big bad herself. This was good, they strike her down now and that save them from having to deal with her later on. Keeping that thought in mind, Vallus drew out his sword headed into the ring of fire that Kiara had formed.
Following Mr. Incredible was a good chance for Chrono to actually get Tinarah's violin from Aria. Given his lack of pockets or any other means of holding it, giving it to her was the smarter option to prevent it from being damaged. "Ehhh? All that won't be needed, we'll be fine without costumes and secret identities." What would've been a dream come true was something that Chrono outgrew a good four years ago. Therefore to dress up like one would be...odd to say the least. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Aria speaking with Qamar. It he was remembering right, that was her name. He approached the two and said, "Hey Aria, mind if I get Tianrah's violin back now."
With there being a more pressing matter rising up, Chrono put away the thought of regret that were slowly creeping up from the recesses of his mind and nodded to what Alder had told him. He searched around the rocks that laid about the cave entrance until finally finding the pair of gloves resting underneath them. He briefly wondered why they were underneath there, but added to the list of things that they probably remembered that he didn't, slipped them on and dashed back into the cave.
The voice echoing around them had put Chrono on edge as no matter where he looked, he was unable to find the source of the voice. Not to mentioned the sudden feeling of weakness that had overcame him. It didn't look like he was he was the only one feeling like as everyone else seemed to be experiencing the same thing. Chrono was glad that Master Thallasa had basically said a better version of what he was going to suggest to appease the mass amount of people that wanted handle the Magic Inhibiting Field right away. "Good luck you guys." He said more so to Take then anyone else.

The counter attack from the heartless certainly was cold, but beyond that it was nothing when compared to some of the other hits he's taken from heartless. When their attacks had cease, Chrono leapt into action, quite literally, with another blitz attack that had him getting the drop on a small group of five icy cubes. They didn't last long after his keyblade had cleaved through them. The other heartless had gotten agitated and swarmed to attack Chrono. Their attacks took some time to prepared and it was during that in time which Chrono struck them down. One by one each heartless fell until there were none left standing.

To say that he was surprised that Daeni didn't know whose memories that she had, only to later reveal that they were Marley's, didn't surprise Chrono too much. As much as he wanted to hear that perhaps some of the memories that she had were his, there was no surprise to hear that that wasn't the case. Only disappointment. Chrono had turned away at the suggestion of heading back to the cave and took a whole step forward before stopping abruptly. "Its...Chrono." He said to Alder having heard the username hint. And not Chrono as in myself. No, the Chrono in this case was someone much better as well as stronger than himself. Both a hero in his actions and a scholar in knowledge, everyone looked up to him and often times sought him out for problems that they couldn't solve themselves. Especially himself. He greatly looked up to this Chrono and wanted to be like him. Thus why it was possible the greatest moment of his life when he agreed to take him under his wing. At the time it was great, but now it was just another haunting reminder of his mistake back on his homeworld. With a solemn sigh, he turned to Daeni. "Call me whichever you like." Personally he'd rather not be called Aevum until he recalled everything and Chrono was slowly losing its appeal as a name.
Chrono was enjoying the fresh air that was getting to his lungs now that he was out of the burning building and had no reason to re enter it. He had taken to a crouched position as his coughing died down. Upon feeling better, he found that they were greeted by a massive swarm of heartless. Of all times that they could've shown up, they chose now. Chrono rose to his feet as a group of smaller heartless ran towards him. "Thundara!" Not missing a beat, his keyblade was called to his sided, aimed directly at them as the stream of lightning wiped them all out. In his current state he wouldn't be able to take that many hits from the heartless which lead to him casting cure on himself and attacking the last two minutes bombs that had gone to attack him. The small cubes were next on his attack list as he preemptively attack them with blitz. That thine the heard of heartless that happened to be immediately around him and scanning the area, Chrono found a small group of four of yellow floating heartless that he could deal with. He felt comfortable running into that group given that their numbers were already small. All it took was a couple of keyblade strikes and he was able to be rid of them all.

The flames that were consuming the building raged on, but with there still being people trapped inside Chrono dashed back into the building. The smoke had increased in density and he had used his shirt to cover his nose as he searched around the ninth floor for the people who remained. Minutes and a few parts of the building falling later and Chrono had found the last people on the floor. "This way, come on." Motioning them to follow him, the last two civilians soon found themselves escorted out of the burning building. "That covers the ninth floor." Chrono said, coughing a bit. Floor 9 Clear
"A little bit." Chrono said honestly, though he understood Take's point. The answers that he was given from Master Gero were as cryptic as the all knowing feeling that they gave off. Just listening bugged him, but not as much as some of what Take had said. The chance to say something on that had passed as Gero walked past them. The new ability that they were given was something that he wanted to try out soon, not to mentioned that the world that they had ended up in had reminded him of his own home. Not accounting for the building that was set ablaze behind them. At no point did Chrono ever think he'd be taking the role of a firefighter, but that could be said about a lot of things. He hurried his way up to the 9th floor, avoiding the flames as best as he could. Chrono had stopped moving having heard the voices of others trapped on the floor he was on. Peering through the smoke, he spotted three people only slightly older than himself. Moving as quickly as he could, he managed to get to the group of people and started ushering them out of the building. Chrono went to Floor 9 7/13 People Remain on Floor 9
Hikaru had pretty much said what he was going to say to AJ. As much as it sucked, as far as Glen and the other were, there didn't seem to be much that they could do. Perhaps in the future, but not quite right now. The chill in his hand had ceased and Kel walked away from the aura that still remained and looked around at the other who were still here. A fair bit of them had gone through outfit changes themselves. What stuck out to him the most was how Luna was now wearing a crown on her head. He walked up to the duo that was Luna and Straos, saying "that's, um, quite the crown you have." upon arriving. Being his first time asking Luna, as well as anyone, about being royalty he had no idea where to start. Fortunately the crown she wore was nothing like what he'd imagine it to be, thus granting him something to say.
She had very much set her mind to leaving, that much was clear and convincing people was not a strong point of his. Just as he was going to speak before Auburn could fully leave, Qrow had approached them. First off, where did he come from and why the sudden emergency meeting? Glancing in Auburn's direction gave a general idea as to a reason behind that. "If you say so." He said nonchalantly as he made his way up the stairs. It had taken a bit for him to find exactly where Blaine's room was. Soon after finding it, he gave the door a quick knock. "We got a meeting to go to leader." Now he could just leave it at that and head down to where the meeting was taking place, but he figured it'd be best to make sure that he actually opened the door. While everyone had been preparing to head out once more, Vice had well, done the opposite. Ever since they had gotten back Vice had found himself a place to sit that was decently away from the others, placed his weapon down and just sat there waiting. All this time that they were using to get ready was time that could've been used to find the temples that they were looking for. His attention towards Lloyd, the supposed leader of their little group, and he made a small gesture towards his weapon that rested near him. "As you can see I've done all the preparations that I need."
