The battle against the agents had come to an end and with there not being much casualties, aside from those who Kel weren't all to certain had even left in the first place, things seemed to have a pretty good outcome. While Karina was missing as well, he had a gut feeling that he knew where she was at. On that note there was still something that he had to do, so he walked over towards Eric and tossed the recorder that Karina had given him to him. "Consider it a gift from your stubborn sister. Her husband isn't anywhere to be seen so that leaves you as the next person who deserves to hear this." That took care of the last thing that he was obligated to do which meant that it was time for him to head back home. First thing that he probably should do was to say his farewells to everyone. Glen was the first person purely because he'd approached him first. "I could say the same about you. Despite how apathetic I was 90% of the time back then, there were plenty of things that annoyed me. Most of the people here that I know I can say didn't." While he could've ended it with that since that did cover a lot of people that were still here, he decided to continue. Next up came Kross and Ananta, who apparently were a thing now. "Well Kross, you'll probably have better luck with her than you did with Anora so long as you don't screw anything up. As for you Ananta, I got nothing else to say." Yes she was one of the people that didn't annoy him, but that was already said earlier and there was no point in repeating himself. Finally came Sapphire, R and Xero otherwise known and the group of people that he didn't know in the slightest. Yes there were plenty more people that he could include in that group, but whatever. "I barely know you guys, but your still better than some of the people than I've worked with in the past." It was short, but it was the truth nonetheless. After that R had vanished revealing his true name, Riel, and leaving Sapphire with some power. That didn't seemed like such a good idea to give all that power to one person, especially considering how frail she looked, but out of everyone else here she probably was the better choice so he left it alone. His goodbyes were said and thus he gave them all a quick wave before summoning forth his glider and flew off to his home. Spoiler: The Aftermath Quite some time had passed since the battle with the agents and Kel was currently standing in the hospital back on Solucia. He wasn't waited for anyone to be born, that had already happened earlier. What he was doing was visiting a friend of his who'd gotten injured in the past war. Considering his circumstances surrounding his injury he was quite lucky to be alive, which was good. Kel didn't want to have to go through losing another person close to him. His wait lasted for a few more minutes before he was finally able to go visit his friend. The room had been kept in good condition, much like the current status of his friend's, Graver, condition. A vast majority of his body was bandaged up including his left eye. "Its one hell of a miracle that you survived." Graver wouldn't be able to respond due to the medications that they had him own, but that didn't mean that he couldn't listen to what Kel had to say. "I wonder if this makes us even for when I got injured saving your ass. If it does you picked a real shitty time to try and pay me back." A light chuckle sounded from his mouth as his hand touched where the newfound scar on his cheek was. It served as one his the better mementos that he'd gotten. He stood there in silence for a few more minutes before turning towards the door saying, "I'll see you another time." and walking out the door. Kel wouldn't hear nor see it, but as he left a smile appeared on Graver's face as he spoke, something he hadn't done for a few days. "Idiot." Now back at the entrance of the hospital, he donned on his fathers hat before walking towards his next destination. This would be a more dark part of his trip as he entered the cemetery. Specifically speaking a more private part of the cemetery. This particular area had only one grave and engraved was the name Vergil Siegend, Kel's father. He was the first casualty that had happened and had not only lead Kel to replacing him as the leader of the central army, but his also declaration of war. "I know if you were still here you'd tell me not to blame myself for what happened to you and I won't. Still won't change how I'll always regret my inability to prevent your death." He stood there both mourning and reminiscing about his father until he heard someone call out to him. While he was distracted, two more people had walked up behind him so when he turned around he was greeted by the smiling faces of his wife, Rune and his daughter, Elise. Kel smirked a bit before turning back to the gravestone. "Though I suppose even in death you left me with one good piece of advice and I'll be sure to treasure it." As he finished saying his goodbye to his father, he turned towards his family and left the graveyard with them. Hopefully nothing like this would ever happen again and he would be able to live the rest of his life in peace, but only time could tell. Spoiler: Pointless Spoiler is go Following the events with the agents, Kel had used his wish that he'd gotten from Genie and had done nothing with for the longest time to go back in time to the point where everything had differed from the other Kel. He stood in front of the cause of everything and battled it again, this time winning, resulting in his time line merging with the original Kel's, causing this Kel to fade away from existence with a smile on his face. Least he would be erased knowing that he atoned.
The next person to enter through the mirror and spot Aden and D'deaer doing who know what was Kel. upon seeing the two, he was tempted step forward, close the door and just keep on walking like nothing had happened. Base on the other had gave a potential and legitimate reason to why they were found like that and went on to exploring the room. He'd then had showed them a picture of Yen Sid and a Mouse clearly having some sort of bond. "So this house belongs to a mouse then, not the strangest thing I've seen. So where is said owner of this place?"

After getting a bearing on his current surroundings, Kel found that he was no longer in the keyblade graveyard, but instead in a different place likely of Omega's creation. If they were in its realm, then it definitely had the home field advantage in this fight. That didn't stop Louvel donning on a suit of armor and just standing there. Sure, intimidation, let's assume that's what he was going for. Caleb on the hand had unleashed a barraged of various weapons towards Omega. It wasn't till both R and Louvel had the idea to take out the four columns of energy, but it had to be done at the same time so splitting up was their best option. So while Louvel, Caleb, Xepphiras, her dragon and apparent purple and white haired boy handled the ones that their picked out, that pretty much left one for Kel to deal with. So the first thing that he did was to hold his hand out with the palm facing towards the ground. Next was that a small orb of light formed in his hand, which slowly grew till it fit snugly in his grasp. Within the small orb of light was a cloud of darkness. Said darkness swirled about within the confines of the light orb until the entire inside of it was pitch black. That finished the preparations so Kel then released the orb and watched it fall to the ground, shattering as it collided with the floor. The end result of that was the summoning of a massive creature that slowly started to make its appearance from the light within the puddle of darkness. As the massive shoulders had appeared and made their ascent, Kel hopped on and rose high about the ground as the creature had fully made its appearance. The only foreseeable problem with him doing this is that there was no guarantee that it would fully listen to him, but so far so good. "Worksis! Take out the Column." Moments of silence had followed Kel's commanded before Worksis finally decided to obey and swiftly moved towards the column (Which magically appeared since MoK miscounted/got cheated by a Hikaru impersonator) . As it got within range, Worksis lifted it hand in the air, its razor sharp claws ready to strike and at the same time as everyone else had destroyed their, slashed through the column, destroying it.
The tone that the hologram form of Yen Sid was speaking in definitely wasn't the most hopeful of tones. If not for the fact that his stone body was was sitting there in his chair, what he said about his potential fate definitely would've affected the mood in a bad way. Yen Sid then proceeded to mention something about a book. That explained why the room was in such a mess when they'd arrived. The person responsible for all this had to have bee looking for it. Next thing that caught his attention was the wielders that he named off. It had been some time since their group was that small. It was a bit surprising that he's had this ready for all this time, but he guessed that there was more to Yen Sid than just magic and foresight seemed to be one of those talents. The hologram then faded away after speaking their current objectives. Save the worlds, not surprising. Find Terra, Ventus and Aqua, those weren't names that he was all too familiar with but they had to be important. Lastly find the book. The only lead that they had right now was the mouse that went through the mirror, so that was likely going to take some detective work or something along those lines. The mirror was now up and running, despite up chucking two people earlier, and it looked like it was time for them to go. Hikaru on the other hand seemed to not want to leave Yen Sid behind. "We don't have much choice, besides, It'd be a real pain to have to carry around a stone master. That'd be dangerous for whoever's carrying him and the master himself."

Things had calmed down a bit up until Karina had tried to slugged Ananta, who responded by using aero which splashed the ink everywhere. Why she didn't just dodge out of the way instead of using a spell, Kel wouldn't know, but it wasn't all that important right now. Starting with Karina the cleaning of the study had begun. What they were looking for or trying to gain by doing this wasn't all that clear, but something had to pop up if they looked hard enough. Kel had started picking up whatever books and trinkets that were still on the floor. With each book that he picked up he briefly flipped through the pages to see whether or not there was anything useful in them. Three books had passed and nothing was found. Next thing that he picked up was a small orb. At first glance it didn't seem like much and Kel was tempted to ignore moments after picking it up, but before he had the chance to do so, the orb in his hand started to glow. The glow had gotten brighter till a hologram of Yen Sid was standing before him. "Hey guys, I found something of use." He said to the others, likely turning that attention away from cleaning duty and to the hologram.
After continuing their sparring session for a little while longer, despite how much Valken wanted to take a break from it, Sirin too had gotten tired and instead of trying to fight through it like Valken was forced to do, she held up her hand signaling for him to stop. "Geez, finally I can rest." He said with hope in his voice. However those hopes were soon dashed away as Sirin had started speaking. "I wouldn't get your hopes up just yet, there's still one thing that we need to do." That had earned a groan from Valken, but she ignored him and continued speaking. "Oh you can deal with it long enough till we find someplace to eat." Least now the extra steps that they had to take would be work it in the end. Sirin didn't even wait for a response from Valken as she went on ahead of him. Before Valken had started to walking after Sirin, he thought he saw something move in the shadows out of the corner of his eyes. However when he turned to look, there was nothing. "Didn't think my mind was as worn out as my body." His train of thought was interrupted when he heard Sirin threated to leave him behind if he didn't hurry up. Pondering whatever he thought he saw would have to wait till after he'd gotten some food in him. So far the fight was going within his expectations. His portal trap had worked like a charm and Dmitri had gotten back on his feet and ran towards him again. At first Xross actually thought that he'd learned nothing from what had just happened earlier, but upon seeing the various directions that he was moving in. Least that means he wasn't as big of an idiot as Xross originally thought. His efforts were valiant, but were futile. Xross was capable of producing more than one portal at a time, so no matter how much he thought that he serpentine strategy would work, it too was destine to fail. Before the decisive moment could occur, a scream could be heard coming from the house. That scream could mean one of three things. 1) Dawn was just killed, 2) Dawn was about to be killed or 3) She was in danger. Stereotypically speaking the first two generally happens when said girl in question is an idiot, which Dawn likely wasn't. Despite what Dmitri had said, Xross had no intentions on standing there and waiting for him to get back and he definitely wasn't going to run from an unfinished fight. As Dmitri rushed back into his home, Xross took a much easier way of getting inside. He made a portal in front of him and stepped through it. Before the other creature could attempt to attack Dawn, it was conveniently stop under the foot of Xross as he walked out of the other side of the portal. "Hmm, quite an interesting creatures. Shame your not more durable that this." Emphasizing his point, he added a bit of pressure onto the body of the creature and watched it be crushed under his shoe like a bug. The resulting cloud of dust dissipated into the air as another one tried to attack him from behind. The white haired boy didn't eve bother to turn around, he just let it leap into a small portal placed between the two of them. Once it had gone through, the portal closed removing the shadow like creature from the area.
I'll trade you a cake for them
"Oh your the guardian. I thought you were the overbearing older brother forcing his younger sister into fighting him day after day." After much going back and forth with this it seemed that Dimitri was finally going to make the first move. That took longer than he'd originally plan, but that was a small price to pay. Dmitri then demonstrated that he knew very well how to use a sword by making a stroke towards his ankles. In response Xross too a small jump back. As he did, he snapped his fingers which opened up a portal in the path that Dmitri was moving. Should he continued moving forward, then he'd step right on it and end up landing on his head a couple feet back. This wasn't against his 'no weapon' rule for he was using magic, not a magic weapon. So if he tried to complain, Xross already had a counter argument ready.
A small sigh sounded from Xross as he listened to what Dmitri said. It was clear that he was either stubborn, hard-headed or a idiot. Actually he was probably all three mushed together. "Not only are you incapable of understanding simple terms, but your a hypocrite as well. Definitely not to best brother." He'd moved his hands behind his back as he walked towards the wooden sword that he'd desperately wanted him to use. "How do you know I'm not just being an ass to you cause your in desperate need of an ass kicking. I may be the perfect gentlemen to your precious Dawn." Well half of that was true. He had no reason to be neither a gentlemen nor a prick to Dawn. Dmitri on the other hand was just giving more reason as to do so. He'd come to a stop in front of the sword and instead of picking it up, he kicked it towards the arrogant boy. "First off, how does one kick someone's ass if they haven't even moved an inch. Your definitely not smart enough to have any sort of ESP, so enlighten me if you could. Second, I'll rephrase my conditions so that you can understand them. I...won't...use...a...weapon...to...fight...you...comprende?" Each word was spaced out an given emphasis with hopes that he would get the point. If that didn't work then maybe he would have to resort of other means to get him to understand where he stood. If so then the end result would still be the same.
Takeshi had remained fairly silent as Samuel walked passed him and towards into the weapon storage. He wasn't sure why he was in such a hurry to get to there, but it wasn't that big of a deal anyway. It had appeared that he came back with a katana. Was he expecting to get up close and personal during this mission or something? "Anything long range, preferably a sniper rifle." Takeshi answered as simply as possible. Unlike what he was inferring from his partner, he'd preferred not to waste time by having to resort to sword play or anything close range. At first things seemed to blow over without to much trouble, least till some blond chick came out of nowhere and pointed a gun to the back of Milia's head. That little act of hers had left Leon in quite the predicament. While not a single bit of the current attention was aimed at him, the slightest thing could easily change that. For example, pretty sure just my standing there he could be assumed to be an accomplice of hers, which whether he was or not was up for debate and should he run that'd would definitely draw a lot suspicion towards him. Standing still or fleeing, neither option yielded good results so he just shrugged his shoulders and stood there.
When Xepphiras had finished with her display with the x-blade, Kel was next to grab hold of the mighty weapon. Much like what had happened with the others, a surge of energy could be felt flowing into his body. This could lead to him getting an awesomely amazing power...or something pretty lackluster. For moments after he'd grabbed the x-blade he turned invisible. Now this wasn't the biggest waste of a massive power gain, but it was pretty close to being that or at least that what it looked like at first. What Kel didn't notice were the the two ghostly figures that were floating behind him. At first glance they both appeared to just float there behind him. That was because they were waiting to be given an order one what to do, which technically wasn't until Kel shouted. "I wish I'd gotten something that could actually attack the agents!" The two phantoms vanished in a blink of an eye, only to reappear in front of each agents. That was when they were noticed for, it'd be weird to see this godly force get beat up by nothing and they became tangible as they fought. A few blows were dealt to them before Chaos made an attempt to to grab one of the phantoms, Omega on the other had had started to shoot at the one attacking it. Neither of their efforts had done anything as the phantom phased through them before going back to attack them. This went on for a bit until the two agents had caught on to their trick and launched a counterattack. Chaos had grabbed one of the phantoms as it was preparing to hit him and tossed him in the air. The other one was blasted into the air along side the first one. What followed what Omega unleashing a barrage of shots towards the two phantom while they were still tangible, hoping to destroy the both of them. Their plan failed as the two phantoms had vanish in thin air, not before a small orb floated down between them and exploded in a eerie green like, send the two agents into different rock formations. Next up to bat was Kel, who took up the x-blade after the other Kel had become visible again. Just like what had happened with the others who'd picked up the x-blade, he would be able to perform amazing feats with his keyblade, but unlike the other Kel he didn't become invisible. There was a reason why the other was invisible for his time using the x-blade and it has nothing to do with the phantoms that were summoned to do battle. But that would be revealed later, what this Kel experience was something completely different. First the x-blade in his hand turned into a conducting baton. It was weird to say the less, but it came along with what looked to be an avatar with what was a massive cannon for an arm. It too a moment to piece together that the baton in his hand was connected to the avatar that had appeared, so he decided to test something out. First he went with a quick flick of his wrist towards the agents and the avatar responded with a quick cannon shot towards chaos. Next Kel tired fluidly moving the baton left to right before again pointing it towards the agent. The avatar then flew towards them, evading the attack that were being sent towards it and unleashed a barraged onto Omega. That display made it pretty clear that the avatar in fact not only responded to the baton in his hand, but the move fluidly he conducted it, the more attack that would be dealt. So without further adieu Its Showtime. The white haired wielder then closed his eyes and started to conduct the avatar to do battle with the agents. Unlike the previous enocunters with the two phantoms, the avatar was both visible and tangible regardless of whether it was attacking or not. That still didn't mean that it would be any easier to combat it for the avatar was easily evading and shooting both agents. Chaos found that it was hard to get in close to rip it to shreds without being blasted back and as for Omega, most of its should were evaded easily. From a distance it soon looked as if the tide of the fight had turned with the avatar going on the run, but in reality it was all part of a plan. Chaos clearly was foolish enough to try to attempt to drag the avatar back to the ground, but instead it was met the the barrel of its cannon arm and a powerful point blank shot was released, resulting in a cloud of smoke surrounding the two. Moments had passed and it seemed that Chaos was the first to fall, but that thought soon went out the window when its feral hand tore through the smoke and firmly grabbed hold of the avatars head. Next it chucked it down towards Omega, who unleashed a fury of shots, blasting it to pieces. While this was going on Kel was still conducting, even as the avatar was defeated before him, he showed no signs of fear. Instead he simply smirked before pointing the baton upward. A bright light shone from the battered body of the blue avatar and flew towards the sky. The blue body of the avatar turned into streams of light and flew in the forming orb above. With the aid of a few quick and fluid conducting from Kel, another being had appeared. This one was of pure white and wielded seven swords on its back.While it clearly looked more powerful that the last one, it was clear by the fading lights around it that it wouldn't be able to maintain its form for very long. Not that that was a issue. The seven blades attached to its body soon detached and formed a ring before the being. The ring was them willed with various magical elements and other source that could be found on the battle field. Light, dark, love, hatred, all of it was condensed into a a massive ball of energy. That ball of energy was then attached to the beings right arm and was pulled back behind it. Suddenly with great force, the energy bomb was flung towards the two agents. The resulting explosion was massive in size, but not to the point where any of the others would be at risk. It not for the might of the two agents, the fight would've been over right then and there. But despite how much I would love to have Kel deliver the final blow, I have to be fair to the others, which is fine considering how long they wait for me to post. Anyway after that massive attack, the white being faded away and the baton in Kel's hand returned to its original x-blade form as he let go of it. All that was left was for whoever hadn't used the weapon to use it and bring this battle closer to an end.
Well there was an awkward feeling left in the air after the incident between Karina and Glen. Seeing as how Kel was actually on Land of Dragon when the incident that she's mentioned occurred, he'd expected just an insult to be his retaliation. Instead, well everyone heard what he said. They also heard how Karina responded to it, which in the sense that he was depressing like majority of the people here had a depressing background. To that extent however was up for later debate. Still as Glen went ahead and went through, Kel's mind drifted to the 3 aforementioned people. Etrius, who he hadn't seen nor heard anything form since they even got to Central Haven. Eon, last he saw of him, he was going through some bird related issue. Didn't help that they weren't in the same group during the initial separation so he too was unaccounted for. Finally that left Seiza, who as far as Kel knew was working on the mirror for the duration of the heartless battle and had miraculously managed to stay out combat for the entire fight. Still that didn't explain where was he now. Going through the mirror should have been relatively easy for him given his position. At the of his inner accounting for everyone, there was only 1 person that Karina could be considered responsible for and while that probably wouldn't do much to improve the situation, the person in question was Eon. Who pretty much was a meat shield. So as long as Arma didn't some how come back, he should be fine. Who was he kidding, going off the assumption that eon had gotten left behind, it would take a miracle for him to survive that mess all by himself. It was better not to think about that and hope for the best. Now that just left the problem of Karina, who definitely would be a risk to leave in the current state she was in. Before he approached, he placed Luna down next to the mirror, if she could walk then there was nothing stopping her from getting up and doing whatever she pleased. Now that the potential reason for him to get hit in the crossfire was out of the way, Kel simply hopped that it would work as he approached Karina. "Well that certainly was unexpected. Now I may not know anything about your past aside from that outburst, I guess you could...come back to my home world when this is all over, you'll...likely fit in well there." By the end of that statement, Kel was awkwardly rubbing the back of his hand. He'd basically just invited her back to his home, which was very out of character for him compared to how he was prior to the heartless battle and while he was too late to take back what he said, he could only hope it wouldn't come down to his father not only catching wind of this, but seeing it as well. Fortunately he wasn't planning on heading home anytime soon, despite the current state his world is in.
