Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

Ananta followed behind the others, crossing her arms. She walked up beside Beuce and kept pace with him. "Beuce...I've got something I want to say...but I'm not sure how to go about it." she said. She clutched her crystal around her neck and looked at him. "If...If I get depressed again, keep me away from the darkness. I'm scared of it..." she admitted to him. "I don't want to lose myself, you know?" she confided. Letting go of the crystal, it let off a faint pink glow. Ananta frowned at it. She wasn't sure why it was doing this, having not experienced this quite before. "Just promise me you won't let the darkness get me, okay?" she said.

 

Etrius had said nothing during the remainder of the conversation, and when he began to introduce himself, Kaida was already pushing them.
Etrius immediately side-stepped, saying, "We're not statues, by the way, so save your energy. And my name is Etrius." Etrius straightened himself and continued to walk through the wilderness. This woman had no right to tell them what to do whatsoever. From there on out, he would rely on his own decisions while concerning that of Cat's and Glen's well being. Hopefully, she wouldn't get in the way again.

 

Steel got a little upset that his warning was only heeded by the one person who didn't quite get it. He decided to just be silent and observe; no one really wanted him around anyway. He was the "Dark" guy. Just some weirdo that they figured would betray them, and would probably just destroy him themselves in the end. So for now, it was just his job to sit around and do nothing but fight when told... Like a Blizzagolem... Beuce better not write on him... and definitely better not breathe on him. He shivered. Getting back to the situation at hand, it seemed the Ball would go on as planned. They would need to keep an eye out for Aux, Unversed, and Heartless. He paused for a moment. Did Beast know to continue with their plans for the evening? "Umm..." He began. Then remembered he wasn't going to talk. Best to remain silent. "You're being a jerk." He heard a distinct voice state inside of his head. "So what?" He replied back. "Contrary to what they think, I'm still (a form of) human. We tend to be like that sometimes. Both I and they will get over it." He shrugged. "If they want to know what I have to say, they'll ask."

 

Cat kept walking beside Maximus with her arms crossed, trying her hardest not to look at Rider again. Since coming here, she'd been through a rollercoaster of emotions. It seemed like something straight out of a novel. "I'm supposed to keep a level head. That's what it takes to be a wielder... and I can't even do that right." She thought about what her mother might say: "You've got the most level head I know," she'd probably start. "Stop worrying so much. That's what happens when you're in lo-" She let that train of thought crash and burn. Even if she knew it, there was no way she'd admit it any time soon. He was a liar, a thief, a con man. He was trouble -- she could practically picture "TROUBLE" tattooed on his forehead in big, red letters. Admittedly, the thought of it made her chuckle. Still, she should probably ask the question. She bit her lip and made sure the smile was off her face before asking in a harsh tone. "So, how much further is this place?"

 

Base ducked through and ventured into the Ballroom ahead of everyone else to ensure the perimeter was secure. In the golden atmosphere, Base felt at ease, even though so many dangers felt nearer and nearer. The harpsichord over in the corner made the ballroom feel complete; the potential for melody always struck a good chord with Base. He knew he had his duties, but Base had to sit down at that instrument. Cracking his fingers as he sat, Base slowly pressed down on the keys to hear what kind of sound he could get...

 

"Huh?" he uttered when Base nudged him; so busy was he listening to their conversation that he had almost but forgotten of his surroundings. D'daear gave Base a nod of acknowledge to his words. "Right! I'll keep my eyes focused on the surrounding area!" he said enthusiastically. Readying themselves, he followed the group following Belle. Like a ninja he kept his eyes wary at all times, taking slow and careful steps as the team progressed. A part of him couldn't help but want to mess around during the whole escort.

 

Kaida looked around at the inside the tavern at the faces and was very concerned for the princess' well being. She didn't seem to be doing to fine and was in the midst of a kind of freakout. Kaida kept on edge ready to strike at any moment and listened to Flynn. She did a double take towards him and responded, "What the heck does the color brown smell li- WOAH."

Kaida stared at a man cooking what appeared to be something with tentacles. She walked up towards him cautiously with very wide eyes and spoke, "That is... that is not the way you cook calamari."

 

Beuce gave an encouraging smile to Ananta. "Don't you worry. With me around, you could just sit back and tale a sun bath, and everything would be fine." He began looking off to the side from the camera's point of veiw, implying he was ready to make a dramatic speech. "Ananta, the darkness will never take you. As long as these pants are square, as long as this sponge is bob, i will not let you down!" He began getting very into it and yelled the end. After which, he looked up to realize he had picked up Ananta and was holding her above his head. "So uh...think i could make an exception with the not let you down thing?"

 

"Karina, you and I are going to have a serious talk once this is over!" He snarled. He was angry with her at this time. Sacrifice herself? What was she thinking? Eon lost too many people as it was, he didn't want to lost somebody else he saw as significant to him. He slashed at Vincent again. This was the only alternative he could see. If Karina so dared get in range to be attacked, Eon would jump in and take the fall.

 

As they continued through the forest Kel simply started looking around with hopes of finding something that stuck out. While the odds of finding something like that were pretty slim, it was still possible to do so. Though unless Mizu or Goofy noticed it, the slim odds of them finding something like that were even lower. Eh, not like there would be a bunch of signs detailing where to go in the middle of the forest.

 

Stratos was really hoping for a giant sign in the forest with flashing lights that indicated that there was a secret entrance nearby, though they had no such luck. Hell they couldn't even find the not secret entrance at this point in time. So they continued to walk through the forest until Beuce and Ana started having a blatantly obvious and somewhat audible secret conversation with each other. It was then that Beuce shouted whilst lifting Ana off the ground, saying he wouldn't let her down. Stratos then had the sudden urge to find out what time it was and checked the sun to confirm that it indeed was not 3 AM. Damn, no dinner for him yet. Ah well. He then turned to Merlin and asked, "so, will we just know this Witch's place when we see it, or is it just something totally inconspicuous?" If it was the latter, Stratos would have to be on the lookout for rocket classroom desks in the sky.

 

Ananta wasn't expecting Beuce to be as...lively as he was. In fact, she didn't expect him to react at all, let alone pick her up. Unfortunately, he didn't put her down immediately. She crossed her arms at him asking for an exception about not putting her down. "Am I too heavy for you?" she said. Moving around a bit, she fell down and latched onto his head. Essentially, she was sitting on his shoulders. "You're a big, strong man, Beuce, I'm sure my frail body can be held up by a guy such as you~" she said. The tilde implies flirtatiousness. Playing with his hair a little, she looked around to see if she saw some kind of a house. Unfortunately, she kept having to dodge branches, so her job was a little hard. Eventually, she spied a hut in a clearing. "I think I can see a hut over there!" she exclaimed, pointing off.

 

Glen followed everybody to the Snuggly Duckling. As he began walking forward, the keyblade wielder couldn't help but roll his eyes. They were finally there, only for it to be exactly what it sounded like, a cutesy little inn? Where was the adventure, the thugs he imagined a thief would know? Had they really come all this way to hear a bedtime story read to them as though they were six year olds? With a sigh, the warrior stepped through the doors.

Now, this was what he had certainly expected. Screw the adorable sign out the front, what he saw in front of him was exactly the company he figured a thief would hide out with. Brutal-looking people, some even missing limbs and having hooks for hands, not a fluffy duck in sight. "You certainly know some interesting people" he said quickly to Flynn, before spotting the bartender. He was only 18, which was the legal drinking age on his world, and he hadn't had a good drink in many months. Despite not desperately needing one, he got the feeling with his current party he would find himself desiring one very soon, so why wait?

Sauntering over, he rapped the bench twice with his wrist and waited for the bartender to turn his way. "Hey there, I'd like your finest alcoholic drink, and make sure to put one of those fancy umbrellas in it!" he requested, making sure to show a small pouch of munny to show that he could indeed pay for the beverage he had asked for. He didn't want the bartender thinking he, like many of the others in the Snuggly Duckling, was a thief.​

 

"I don't control your life, but I do care how you use it. I don't want you to die! I won't let anyone else important die!" He returned in yelling. Instead of Vincent hitting Karina, Eon charged in quickly to get in between them. The hits struck him, but luckily, he only felt little damage. His eyes glared back to Karina. "I've already lost two important people. I refuse to let another die." He turned around to counter attack Vincent.

Eon took the hit full force. Karina's slap actually managed to sting a bit. And I mean sting. He may have been a tank, but that girl was a bazooka, managing to damage it somewhat. Although Karina positioned herself in a way that Eon could not normally make time between the hit, but right now the adrenaline was boiling. He was faster and stronger at the moment. He rushed towards Karina knowing he couldn't make it in time to block, so instead, he tackled her to the ground, rapping his arms around her like a hug. "Dang it Karina! You are important to me! Whatever happened is in the past. Now is a gift, that is why it is called the present. We should be grateful to be alive. I'm grateful to have you alive." Now if Eon were older, this would be the moment where he kissed her, but he's 13, so clearly that was not an option or else Karina may end up going to the jail he was born in. That would be a nono.

Eon looked at her for a minute and sighed. "You're wrong. I know the darkness of this world. My parents were murdered in front of me because of my words. I don't want another person dead because of me..." He turned around to face Vincent and struck another blow, taking more damage from the beast. "But I try to fight back! If I let the past engulf me," He picked up Karina's keyblade, "then I wouldn't have met people to love and protect like you!" He ment this in general, for people like her, Ananta, Beuce, Glen and everyone else... except maybe Etrius... He sliced at Vincent with both keyblades. He wouldn't be able to maintain them both together for very long, so he needed to make use of it while he could. Even though this would increase his chances of defending, Vincent was fast enough to get some blows in. But as long as he stood up, as long as he had breath, he would not back down.
