Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

Cat heard Glen come up from behind her. "Oh god, no. Not now. It's alright, just... play it cool. She took a moment. "Your own castle? Really?" She chuckled softly and turned to look at him. "You know, money only gives you an ego."

 

Kross thanked the bartender when he got his water, swirling the water in the semi-tall glass. He was in a different world, which looked nothing like the icon, was that a bad thing though? He had to stay on guard however, there were still enemies here he assumed. He didn't sense anything yet, but that's where they got you..where you least expect it. He took a sip, closing his eyes. 'Oh, it's you' His eyes snapped open, recognizing the voice, his water sprayed from his mouth, immediately getting up and turned, the long ebony hair tipped her identity off. It was Karina, she was approaching him, so he pressed his back against the table, swallowing, his knees weak with fear. He had to reply however, he knew she was angry with him, but replying was better than nothing."Ka..Karina.."He managed with a dry throat."Y..You're here..I mean, you're safe..I- I hope your trip wasn't too turbulent?"He asked, feeling the warm tavern drop rapidly in temperature..

 

Base's index finger touched his forehead, and in an instant he was gobbled by a magic that was fluid enough to take his whole form. He watched as the magic took in his shape, covering every part of his body. "Whooaaa..." he gasped in amazement. He poked his chest to see how the barrier felt. On contact, a sort of ripple spread until it ended. "Wow Base, this is pretty awesome! Thank you." Base began giving him advice, which D'daear thought it to be helpful to remember them. "A dive to my heart? How do I do that? The closer I get to the light, the greater my shadow becomes?" he repeated quizzically in his mind. He shrugged it off, not carelessly though. At the moment, he would be focusing on getting ready for their trip; but he would make sure to heed those words in the future. After listening to Base, he nodded his head. "Alright! Here goes then." he said, taking a step back from Base to give them room for his new vehicle that was about to be formed. He closed his eyes and extended his hand outward to summon the keyblade; hopefully it would.

"Alright Keyblade...listen...I need you now. I'm new to this, but I know I'll catch on soon enough. So...lend me your strength."

D'daear began to focus, believing in all his might that the weapon would emerge from wherever it was it came from. If he was going to be of any help, it would be necessary have to summon the weapon without a moments notice. Light collected itself in the area where his extended hand was. In a split second the light extended itself, taking the form of the keyblade he was currently wielding. The light soon faded away in to nothing, leaving behind only his weapon. He gave a sigh of relief. He believed it would come, but somewhere in the back of his mind there was that, 'What if', statement. He felt his heart surge for a moment, feeling it beginning to calm down. Now it was time for the tricky part. He looked up at Base. "So what, it'll just transform into some random flying machine or do I just have to imagine it myself?" he asked rhetorically. He sighed through his lips, mimicking the sound a horse would make when tired.

"Alright Keyblade...I just need you to turn into one of those glider things, and then I promise I won't bother you again." he thought to the keyblade; as if it was some sentient being whom he needed its permission. D'daear tossed it into the air with all his might. He watched it as it arched after reaching its peak, falling out of the areas perimeters and down into who knows where. Shock and terror filled him as he had suddenly just tossed his keyblade overboard down into who knows. In desperation, he ran towards the edge, hoping that it would somehow be within grasps reach. "No no NO!" he shouted as he ran to the fence. He peered over, seeing nothing but a deep mist in a land filled with green. The poor boy leaned over the brick fence, hating himself for his stupidity.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid... Why did I throw it?" he punished himself. He was so disappointed in his stupidity that he didn't want to face Base, who was awesome enough to believe in him when he was low in confidence. "Base...I'm sorry... Gah, I'm such a-" he was cut short by the keyblade reappearing in his hand. It threw him off in its surprise reappearance. He gripped the handle, holding the tip of the blade with his other hand. The boy brought it close to his chest, his heart relieved at the sight of its return. D'daear looked over at Base; holding his Keyblade close. "Uuh, can we just share your glider for now? I can try again perhaps when it's time to leave the place we're heading too...." he asked, feigning a cheezy grin. Even though a keyblade would never leave its Master, the unknowing D'daear felt safer holding on to his keyblade for the moment. He approached Base's glider.

"So...can we?"

 

"Oh nevermind. You'll see when we get there. Speaking of which, lookie there!" Beuce said gesturing to the world in front of them. There it was. Camelot. It wasn't just a hologram this time. Guiding his wooden bicycle glider around the world, he slowed down to a land.

He landed in the middle of a town, in fact, what looked to be a church yard. Next to him was a rather shiny sword stuck in a stone in the center of said yard. Beuce whistled, impressed at the weapon. "Well, that looks like it'd come in handy." He walked up to the blade. He felt it, everything was perfect. The wind blew through his hair. theme music played. He wrapped his fingers around the leather on the handle and pulled...he pulled again. No? Maybe from a different angle..."Hrrg!" he grunted in effort as he attempted to draw the blade from its stone prison. After which he decided to get tactical. He summoned his keyblade and planted it into the stone next to it, attempting to pry it out. "Maybe there are like 1000 provisions i need to go through or something...Fool! I bet your morning starts off with a cup of coffee with cream!"

 

Well, at least Karina wasn't being violent with him, just her usual cold tone. He frowned anyway, cautiously sitting back on the stool and turned, seeing karina sit and order a drink. He caught the napkins and quietly accepted the task of cleaning up the water he spilt, mumbling a 'thanks' before disposing of them. Her question was not too far off and he wondered too, why did he end up in the town instead of the castle? It made little to no sense. "Our coordinates were correct..but I don't know the answer to that. "He said, then sipped his water, placing it down and thought for a moment, then shrugged, oh well.."First rule of adventuring, Gather Information..or is that the second..ah well."He said and glanced at Karina."We could ask the locals where we are and where the castle is, it couldn't hurt, right?"He said, hopping from his stool. He was ready when she was.

 

Cat blushed a bit when he mentioned hearing their conversation. She turned away from Glen to avoid any further embarrassment and heard Flynn talk about his desire for a castle. "O-oh, well castles are quite lovely. I mean, who wouldn't want that kind of a view, am I right?" Internally she kept reprimanding herself for being unable to keep her big mouth shut. As he turned to them, she got a good look at him and boy did he look dashing -- tall and handsome, minus the dark. He bowed and kissed her hand and she involuntarily giggled like an idiot. "It's a pleasure, Flynn. I'm Cat." She took off her hat and bowed back, partly to be formal and partly to avoid any further embarrassment due to eye contact. "Oh god, stop being dumb! I swear, one of these days I'm gonna fall right on my Keyblade. I don't have a shot with him. He's like a prince. And where there's a prince who's handsome, there's likely already a princess. Ugh, okay, I can do this... maybe. I just have to avoid talking until he's spoken. Yeah, that's it. Maybe he isn't taken. Maybe I won't have to get Tangled up in a love affair." She smiled and straightened herself, putting the hat back on and looking straight at the palace. As much as she wanted to mention the comment about the guards, she'd just vowed to stay silent until Flynn talked. Besides, talking too much would only give it away. Even if it was already kinda obvious, she didn't like people cracking jokes or bringing it up.

 

Glen shrugged his shoulders as Flynn mentioned the guards. "I'd be a little riled up too if I had to guard a castle that wasn't even mine. I mean, imagine all the stuff they've got in there. Treasure, important people, weapons, you'd think a lot of people would be wanting to break in, it couldn't be easy" he responded. Glen couldn't help but chuckle at Cat's reaction to Flynn kissing her hand, and decided perhaps he should also introduce himself, though not in the same way that the man before him had done. "My name's Glen, but I'm not doing any kissing or giggling, got that?" he teased, still finding Cat's reaction amusing.

 

Cat heard Glen introduce himself and nearly smacked him over the head. It had happened. He knew, or at least suspected. All hope was lost. She turned around slowly, trying her hardest to keep a straight face and making sure to have her back towards Flynn. "Name's Cat, Glen." She grabbed his right hand and gripped it as tight as she could. She mouthed the words "SHUT UP" and shook his hand for a bit before letting it go.

 

When Kel had landed in Camelot, the first thing he took noticed was the many failed attempts Beuce made to remove a sword that was placed in stone. "Provision number 1, Wait til we find out more about the sword before you try to pull it out." Kel said before looking around, no doubt there had to be someone here who knew about the sword, after all someone had to put it in the stone.

 

First mission world. Check. New keyblade. Check. More magic to use. Checkity check. With everything all nice and ready to go, Stratos felt that he was finally ready to being re-existing and disembark onward to the new wild world of Camelot. Realizing that the other two teammates of his had already departed the Land of said Departure, Stratos felt a tad bit on the late side and hurried off on his key glider.

Graceful entrances were not in this man's repertoire. He had done a bit of a botched flying job in his attempt to hurry off to Camelot, and as such had his keyglider disappear far too soon. This caused the man to go hurtling forward at a mildly fast speed until he crashed into the holy blade lodged in the stone. After falling down, he looked up and said, "hey there." Looking at the sword that had not budged at all, he stared at it wide eyed and said, "man, that is quite the stuck sword." He turned around and started to observe his surroundings more, before he realized he had no idea who his teammates actually were. "Oh right, forgot to introduce myself. Name's Stratos." He gave a thumbs up to the two before asking "so, what's with this," he pulled on the blade, "unmovable sword?"

 

"Yeah tell me about it...I'm Beuce." Beuce said, seemingly unphased by the fact someone had just fallen ungracefully from the sky and crashed into a sword, though he sounded a tad bit upset as to someone attempting to steal his thunder. He didn't even use thunder. In any case, usually something significant happened and gave them something to do about now. For the meantime, he simply poked the sword. "Wonder why someone stuck this thing in here...Maybe when you swing it while yelling its name it shoots like this giant beam of light that destroys things and has a sheath that makes you immortal and makes you untargetable and-" Beuce rambled on, listing damn near every ability that has ever been attributed to Excalibur in anything. Most keyblade wielders had strong hearts, but apparently Beuce also had strong lungs. Gift and a Curse really.

 

Karina's icy response sparked little than a raise of the male's right brow. He couldn't take it to heart, they had a mission to complete and usually that had little room for personal feelings. He didn't reply, because a large male came in, off a haughty and arrogant aura, but it also looked like the man had self-esteem issues. Kross couldn't see the wrong in a person. His brown eyes landed on a shorter man that addressed him, calling the two odd balls. "I wouldn't say being odd is a bad thing, sir."He said with a bright smile. Seeing the man being shoved away. He spotted Karina going up to the large man. He bit his lower lip, if he knew her, she would..yep, she was telling him off. He swallowed a bit, eyes narrowing, she was compromising their mission. They were only supposed to control the situation of the heartless and the Unversed, not meddle in the affairs of other worlds. He knew the consequences would be dire, no going back now."Karina, no, you gotta stop this.." He went up to her back, putting a hand on her shoulder."We can't interfere with the affairs of this world like this." He took his hand off and stepped forward, looking up at the large man."I'm sorry, You'll have to excuse her temper she's..new."He said, tilting his head."I'm Kross, this is Karina. Your friend mentioned an inventor's daughter, is she someone you like?"

 

As Kel continued to watch Beuce mess around with the sword, another wielder came tumbling into the sword. Well, that makes number 3. It was a slow process, but their numbers were definitely increasing. "I'm Kel." He introduced before taking another look at the sword. "There has to be someone here who knows what's the deal with this sword."

 

Etrius, by now, was sick of being ignored. He did find Cat's reaction a bit much, and Glen had been a bit inappropriate. It was his turn to introduce himself.
"Good day Flynn." Etrius said enthusiastically, "My name is Etrius. Ignore the other two. They can be childish at times, as I recently found out…" Etrius gave a hard glare at his two colleagues. Cat had ignored his questions, and Glen was already acting badly. Etrius turned back and gave Ryder a friendly smile before continuing, "But I'm sure they might come around a little, as long as they don't drive me nuts. Anyway, what makes you say that you want a castle? Aren't you a prince yourself?"

Luna crashed onto the floor. She stood up slowly as her bandages slowly came undone and a bit of blood came through her shirt. She lifted her head and saw Krowley. Luna looked around her surroundings. She looked toward Krowley. "Any idea why we landed here?" Luna walked around a bit more around the are trying to make a sense of where she is. Luna heard voices as she looked down at the ground seeing kitchenware pass by her and Krowley. This should be intresting, Luna looked up trying to figure just where in the world she landed.

 

Steel floated down from the ceiling of the dark dungeon and landed gently on his feet. He took a quick look around and, upon hearing a shout, quickly located Krowley. He hurried to join his injured ally only to find him staring silently at a teapot and cup talking to each other. "Oh good, we've arrived at the correct world" He stated with little surprise. He then saw Luna crash in. He sighed and went to help her up. "Must everyone crash?" He thought to himself.
