To anyone who might not know, we're getting closer to Vol.5's Premiere Spoiler
"If she's doing all this of her own free will, then maybe Lea can inform us something about how she fights." Vallus reasoned. If they could learn what to expect from her prior to any potential encounters, then defeating her would be made an easier task. Being unable to track her though did pose a issue in this. Though. they did know what she was after and that was all that they had on her. Following the others as they headed back, he thought about just who else was on the opposition. Tango was able to notice them all behind the pillars and Lima was able to quickly appear and disappear with little trace left behind. Both of which impressive feats that would be an issue when they did have to fight them.
The beacon activating had drawn Kel's attention away from the conversation and towards what it was that Tron was doing. Seven maidens. Door to Darkness. Prior to the names that was listed, that was what he briefly wondered about its meaning. When Tron had started listing the names, he tried to see if there were any names that he knew. For the first few it didn't ring any bells, but at the mentioning of Mulan, Kel was surprised to hear her name up there. There was more questions that he had to wonder about, but getting out was the top priority. "Good question, there has to be some place to get us out of here." Kel said, then turning towards Tron to give him a quick wave. Good luck running everything Tron.
FOR
There wasn't much that they could do in their current situation and given their current arsenal of abilities, it would be hard to come up with something turn this situation around. What helped even less was the placement of the guns, the soldiers had theirs aimed towards him while Rourke had his on the kings temple. "Put your keyblade away Glyde." Chrono said, his fist tightened in frustration at the situation that they were currently and even more at his inability to think of a way out. Then he heard Take's voice and the way he spoke to Dentro both puzzled and surprised him. "Did you do something that I somehow missed?" Chrono said to Dentro.
Shortly after Dentro had spoken, there was an explosion up ahead and a very grim sight waiting for them in the King's Chamber room. A group of soldiers and the king himself thrown off of his throne. The tension in the air grew when the gun was placed to the kings head. "So to avoid leaving 'empty handed' you plan to kill the king and leave with their energy source. Why not just take a rock or something?" To accent his point, he pointed towards some of the debris that littered the ground around them.
Waiting out here was something that Zephyr could do provided he found himself a place to sit. The lack of a book to read could be beneficial on the off chance he heard something else that actually was useful. There weren't any high hopes on that happening though, no one else was really saying anything that could've been helpful. It suck, but there wasn't much anything he could do about it. Having little to no influences limited what he was able to do. Walking around for a bit Zephyr did manage to find himself a place to sit and just wait around. The option to go find Kara did stand, but Zephyr recalled hearing the guard she was talking to wanted to get a drink, meaning that they could very well doing just that. He didn't want to deal with that kind of atmosphere or the people in that atmosphere at all if he could have any say init. In this case, he did very much have a say in that.

Chrono felt a chill, a chill that had momentarily distracted him from the growing desire to hit to Dentro. He hadn't even known the guy all that long and he was already really starting to get to him. As for the chill he had felt, it was a fleeting feeling and in the time he had experienced it, he was only able to wonder why he'd felt that. Maybe I'm just overthinking thing. When they had gotten to the city the situation that awaited them matched the reactions that Milo and Princess Kida had before. The sight of the injured guards and fleeing civilians prompted Chrono to speed up while still staying behind Dentro. There was no way to know just how far away from the rest of the outsiders they were and he hoped they were close enough to prevent any other damage from being done. Upon passing Glyde and Illiana, Chrono briefly slowed his pace. Long enough for them to see him as well as his motioning for them to follow him before speaking back up once again.
There were two things that Lea had told them that had caught the most of Vallus's attention. The first being that whoever this Nequa person was, in some form, a former teammate of his. Depending on how well they knew each when they teammates they could get some information regarding how to deal with her. Assuming she wasn't possessed. If she was, then that little detail could very well not be of any help at so all. Next was when he cut himself off. The natural wonder on what he was saying afterwards intrigued him. When he choose to speak however, that wasn't what he questioned Lea about. "Do you know for certain whether or not she's possessed or doing all this of her own will?"
The longer that Chrono listened to Dentro speak, the less he knew how to feel about him. He did have a point with what he was telling him, it was the way that he was saying it that irked Chrono. While he may have had no idea what Dentro meant when he mentioned and 'energy source', both Milo and Princess Kida certainly did and were not happy to hear that at all. The brief summary that Milo had given him was plenty to pass on the severity of the situation to Chrono, plus with how everyone was looking at him expectantly. His hands were pretty much tied, leaving him with only one real option to do. "Alright, I'll see if there's anything I can do to stop them." He then turned towards Dentro. "If you saw them earlier, then you can lead us to them." In actuality he probably could've found his way there using the directions that he was given, but until he felt a little bit more certain about Dentro, Chrono wanted to keep an eye on him.
Following the events at the docks, Lumen took it upon himself to at least start walking around to get better familiar with the area. That way if there was any shortcuts that he could find or come up with, he could use any of them to traverse around at a much quicker rate than before. It was during his walk that he noticed a couple of people form the docks still grouped together. His pace slowed down upon noticing the group of guards that had confronted them. It was impossible to make out what they were saying from where he was standing, but he got feeling that it wasn't good.
"I'm sure that they're fine." Kel said. With all that they've been been through, he didn't doubt the capabilities of this teammates. Most of them anyway, despite there only being one that fit into that category. It did still suck that there wasn't anything that they could do to help from their end though. Waiting and hoping for the best was about all that he could come up with.
Well someone was clearly bothered by the rather justified question that the students had, that being said the next person who had spoken up had given them a sort of better explanation to what they had been put through regarding fighting Agni. Lazuli kept what she had said in mind cause going from being knocked out in one blow to being able to take out eight students in a single blow was a pretty significant leap in strength. Following all that things had started to calm down among the students Lazuli took this as a chance to briefly look around until his attention stopped on the quiet girl that was a part of his team. He recalled that he was going to make an attempt to speak with her before they were put against Agni. She may have been 'speaking' with their leader by the looks of it, didn't mean that he couldn't just join in on their conversation. When he headed towards them, that was exactly what he planned on doing when he said. "Hello there teammate and leader, I figured some conversing might do us some good."
Once inside the building, Chrono thought that they would be able to get some form of a breather. A fleeting idea that was quickly swept away when Chrono heard the additional voice outside. It belonged to the last person that he wanted to deal with right now. The frustration that still lingered was shown with the clenching of his fist and yet Chrono endured this frustration. Soon enough he would have his payback. Having made that decision Chrono ignored the rest of what Ria said and put most of his attention towards watching Mora open up a trap door before them. He briefly wondered just how many trapdoors there were here, but that wasn't what was important right now. Whatever it was that was down there and how he could find out something new. Anything that was down there, he would be sure he was the first one to read it. Didn't help that Cerdic was the first one to head down, prompting Chrono to follow shortly behind him.
The idea of meeting the other outsiders did sound appealing, but Chrono didn't think it was a good idea for him to up and follow them without at least letting the others know where he was, more so to avoid Tinarah worrying about his well being. Going by himself wasn't much of an issue, even if he'd be the only one with a way to effectively deal with the heartless. That was all put on hold when someone else had strode up to them. Princess Kida had already asked the first thing that he was going to, so Chrono instead listened to what he had to say first. He didn't like the way that this guy, Dentro, smirked at them. "If you saw signs of a fight starting up, why didn't you try to intervene?" Dentro already made it known that he had a keyblade of his own, so trying to stop a fight shouldn't be too much of an issue.
Chrono shall take the Defender ability with an HP and AP boost
It was only a short break that he was given when a barrage of questions was thrown his way. Chrono did nothing to stop the man known as Milo from shaking his hand. "I'm part of a different group." Was the easiest of ways of explaining it. Still now able to get a closer look at him, Chrono doubted that he brought the heartless here. At least intentionally anyway. Chrono turned to look towards Princess Kida as she approached him as well. For demonstration purposes, Chrono held up his keyblade for them to see clearly. "Not sure if this counts as technology, but this here is a keyblade." Briefly turning his hand over to give them a full look at the details his keyblade had, he continued speaking. "Its the best weapon to use against the creatures you saw me fight, we call them heartless." His keyblade soon vanished from his hands which allowed him to briefly rub his hands together. "You said expedition team before, where are the rest of them?"
Seeing Sark's hand approach him while he was still falling from the air as a result of his last attack, Kel braced himself for the impact. The impact never came as a bright pillar of light shot past him and directly into Sark. Now he had plenty of time to land on the ground to some form of safety. Sark was finally defeated when Tron himself shot a a stream of energy that resulted in Sark's own derezzing. Aislinn's pat on the back was returned with a thumbs up from Kel. "Us three in particular, quite a while. Though it varies person to person." For example out of all of them, he's fought alongside Hikaru the longest and strictly within this world, Stratos the second longest.
