RPG Kingdom Hearts: Shadows of Fate [M-LV]

[Riku]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Tahoma]As it was agreed that they would search the place to see where they should go, so they all had split up into different sections of the slums. Riku had gone off to a little section in the town where apparently the train station was... overseeing the whole town and what had seemed like a never- ending sunset. He then walked around for a few minutes, looking for anyone to ask any questions, but no one was around.

After searching in and out of the train station, the bright- platinum haired teen walked over to the wall that seperated him and a long way down, putting his right foot on the edge and leaning the right half of his body on his knee. He sighed and wondered where they were and what they were doing here... sure, Sora said it was called "Twilight Town" where he said his Nobody, Roxas, lives... but why did they come here? Did someone summon them? Was the enemy toying around? So much confusion ran through his mind, not really selecting any obvious answer to the question.

[B]"Obviously everyone else seems oblivious to the enemy,"[/B] he sighed, talking to himself as he watched the red and golden sunset, [B]"... but I have a feeling this all isn't just a coincidence."[/B] He layed his emerald eyes into the deep faint light that almost seemed like a burning fire, hoping that he could lose his thoughts in it's unique colour.

[B]"Hee hee.... you haven't changed much, Riku..."[/B]

Riku slightly gasped at the girlish giggling and quickly turned around behind him... only seeing the tain station quietly standing there. [B]"What the..."[/B] he replied, scratching his head, [B]"That voice... could it be that... [URL=http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/9315/naminc3a9xm0.jpg]Namine's[/URL] here?"[/B] He kept looking around for a little, still hoping to see her... but, a little thought ran across his mind... how did he automatically know this name of someone he didn't really know? And wasn't she Kairi's... Nobody?

It was all confusing to him, nothing making any sense and things coming back to his mind that he never thought existed. [B]"Well... there's nothing here,"[/B] he said, turning around and walking out of the train slum, [B]"so might as well head out for another place."[/B]

Suddenly, out of nowhere, dozens of [URL=http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/2773/nobodykhiigl9.jpg]Dusk Nobody[/URL] surrounded him, causing him to become trapped in a circle of Nobodies. He growled and summoned Way To Dawn, clenching it in his hands and starting to swing at the weird moving creatures. [B]"Where the hell did they come from?!"[/B] he yelled, trying to swing at the creatures but always missing them because of their twisty like moves. Finally, he slashed into one of them... causing it to dissapear and a glass heart floating upwards into the vauge sky. But another one took it's place, taking him by surprise and slashing the lower part of his right leg... his warm red blood trickling down the side.

[B]"Damn..."[/B] he muttered, lightly holding the wound with his right palm, [B]"...if this keeps up like it is, I'll have no chance. Where's someone when you need them?"[/B]

Suddenly, a boy with short blonde hair and a man with long firey red hair ran up from the entrance of the slum and became surprised at all the Nobodies. The blonde boy looked at Riku and waved, lightly smiling. [B]"Hey Riku!"[/B] he said, [B]"... looks like you need some help!!"[/B]

[B]"What the..."[/B] he muttered to himself, raising his right eyebrow, [B]"..how the hell does he know my name?"[/B] He whinced at the dull pain in his leg, finally shrugging off the fact that he didn't really know him... hell, he needed help and they looked like nice guys anyways. He nodded at them and wielded his keyblade at the enemies whilest the two guys came running into the fight to help.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Ellerby]

[INDENT][color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Vivi looked at the weird boy standing next to him, and back at the monster wielding the wolf-like shield. He glanced once again at Ferin.

[i]How do I know I can trust thi--[/i] Vivi's thoughts were immediately interupted by a shield crashing down right in front of him.

"Guess I have no choice!" yelped Vivi, jumping backwards. Ferin looked at him strangely and shrugged, readying his keyblade. Vivi readied his own.

While Ferin started attacking the beast, Vivi quickly got to work with his spells. He twirled his keyblade, Magera, in a circle and slammed the blunt end to the ground. A magic [url=http://www.blackrevolver.com/art/vivi.jpg]circle[/url] suddenly formed around his feet and started glowing.

Slowly but surely, Vivi gathered some energy and after a few seconds of concentrating he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Blaze Spikes!" he roared, thrusting his keyblade at Ferin. A ring of fire suddenly appeared around Ferin and circled him for a few seconds, then went invisible. Vivi nodded proudly at his work and started casting the spell again, this time on himself.

However he was interupted by a large hand slamming into his side, pushing him across the concrete. He quickly bounced to his feet and waddled side to side a bit. He then regained his balance and ran straight at the heartless with keyblade drawn. [/FONT] [/COLOR][/INDENT]

[Doublehex]

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/Doublehex/RP/SoF/ferin_titlebar.jpg[/IMG] The monster slammed its shield the ground, creating a shockwave of brick and dirt that quickly made its way towards Ferin. If the impact alone wouldn?t kill him, surely him being sent into his background at hundreds of miles per second would. Praying to whatever deity was watching the battle that it would work, Ferin sent both of his keyblades into the ground. Suddenly, another wave as produced from where Ferin stood, one that countered and eliminated the one that threatened Ferin. His moment of peace didn?t last long, however. The monster was practically on top of him, its wolf-head shield opening wide, obviously preparing to assault him. The monster swung, and sent Ferin into a pile of rubble. Ferin got to his feet, wiping the dirt off of his black cloak. ?It?s brand new!? he complained, as he noted that some of his sleeve was slightly torn. He didn?t have time for a comeback, though, as he suddenly felt that a giant hand grip his head. The monster pounded his body into the ground several times before throwing his almost limp body into a wall. The wall crumbled around him, not atop of him, and Ferin rose to his feet, coughing up blood as he did so. ?Damn?? The beast roared, and charged, preparing to use his large shield as a battering ram. That suddenly gave Ferin an idea. Letting the One Winged Angel dissipate, he held onto the Sleeping Lion tightly with his gripped hands. When the beast was about to crumble him, Ferin leaped over him, smashing it over the head. The beast was sent hurling into the ground. ?Payback feels so sweat??, he smiled.

[Kre]

Seth was beginning to be assualted by the oncoming Dusk Nobodies. Cutting one in half it dissapated(sp?). One attacked him from behind he turned right in time to have the attack glance off his Keyblade and nick his upper arm.

He was now back to back with Sora. He gave him a glance to crouch for a sec. Sora looked puzzled but did it anyway. Seth rolled across Sora's back sweeping up about 3 Nobodies.

"Winged Angel!" Suddenly two Keyblades appeared in his hands. Running right into a crowd of them he began attacking. His two Keyblades flashed with each swing.

"One, Two, Three, Four,Five,Six,Seven,Eight,Nine,Ten!" He said each number with one attack.

As the attack finished one came up with a stab motion he dodged it with ease. It then brought the attack to make a slicing motion its claw arm thing cut into his side. He swung down onto its head killing it. He then looked back at where Sora, Riku,Kairi, and the two other people were.

[Orcus]

[SIZE=1]Roxas ginned at Riku, who was clearly confused by the blonde haired boys knowledge of him. Riku would certainly recognize him in due time as Sora's nobody... seeing as they had met before. But alas, now was not the time for introductions. Roxas nodded to Axel, who nodded back. Roxas jumped up, his feet landing in Axel's hands, and Axel launched him forward using his fire abilities.

Roxas sprung through the air, slashing at the dusks and clearing the ones in front of Riku. He quickly turned to look at the silver haired youth and grinned. Riku's face opened in suprise as he recognized the young man. Roxas nodded and spun around, taking out another swarm of dusk. Riku spoke to Roxas quickly.

[B]"You're... Sora's nobody! But how? How do you exist again...erm..."[/B] Roxas grinned and shook his head, attacking more nobodies. There were to many of them, especially for the three of them. Axel was holding his own, but was starting to have his problems, and Riku was injured. But Roxas knew the exact way to level the playing field. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pendant.

[B]"Drive! Vermilion Phoenix Form!"[/B] Roxas's body was raised into the air, and an orange fire surronded his body in a cocoon type thing. Roxas was out of a view for a second, before the flames exploded, leaving a dual-wielding Roxas with auburn hair. Roxas threw his keyblade threw a wave of heartless using the power of fire. He dashed through, retrieved it, and jumped back to Riku, turning to him.

[B]"The name's Roxas. Got it memorized?"[/B] Axeljumped next to ROxas and hit him over the head with his chakram.

[B]"That's my line."[/B] Roxas and Axel jumped into the crowd of nobodies, lighting them ablaze and keeping them far from Riku. Roxas fought happily, despite the mess of nobodies. If Riku was hear, then so was Sora. Maybe they could meet again. And if they were here, then so was Kairi...and maybe Namine.[/SIZE]

[Doublehex]

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/Doublehex/RP/SoF/ferin_titlebar.jpg[/IMG] The shield-monster roared as a series of fireballs exited its mouth. In a mad attempt to stay alive, Vivi leaped for dear life, escaping a fiery death by mere inches. Crawling to his feet, he saw the monster tower over him. With its shield raised, Vivi accepted his fate as a squashed black mage. Alas for Vivi?s future as a pancake, Ferin crashed into the beast, toppling it over. ?Move it jackass!?, he scolded, although to Vivi or the monster he never made clear. With Ferin on its gut, the monster swiped at him. In an attempt to look like he was doing something useful, Vivi pointed his keyblade at Ferin, hoping that something would happen. And indeed something happaned ? Ferin became transparent! Although it would appear his future sex life was over, at least he wasn?t cut in half. ?Cool?, Ferin noted as the monster?s claws went through him. Suddenly, Ferin?s transparency dispersed, leaving him with a physical body again. ?Not cool!?, he yelped as he was pushed into the dirt by the large monster. As it stood up, it roared arrogantly. As punishment, Vivi sent a fire ball its way, sending it flying. ?Nice one!? Ferin gave the black mage a thumb up as he grabbed the Sleeping Lion. Vivi giggled rather feminine like. ?Don?t do that ever again,? Ferin scolded. Vivi quickly agreed. Their quick moment of peace was dispersed when the monster snorted, bricks falling off its shoulders. ?This thing just does not want to die!?

[Random]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1][i]OOC: Sorry for jumping in on your battle, White & Doublehex, but it seemes like a good place to introduce my character.[/i]

He had been watching the two fight with the monster. He actually thougt it was quite ammusing. The one in the red was a good fighter, and the mage, well, when he wanted to be.

He was a very analytical thinker, and believed only what He saw. That was the old Him. Now, He believes in the power within ones self. It all changed with a man named Cloud, but everyone knew that story. Whether or not they knew of His part in it or not didn't matter to Him.

Once the red one was thrown to the ground, He knew He had to do something. He saw the mage summon a huge fireball towards the beast, sending it flying.

"This thing just does not want to die!" said the man in red.

"Few things do," He replied.

"Who...what are you?" asked the man, while the mage looked on cautiously.

"That is not of greatest concern right now," He stated, turning from the man in red towards the armored creature.

He threw Himself towards the creature, trying to get between it's armor with His claws. Although he found openings, they were fixed in place. He had to find another way to bring it down.

He flew off just as the Mage send another fireball. "Sorry," came it's quiet voice.

"That's quite alright," He replied. He ran over towards the boy in red.

"Do you know how to beat this thing?" he asked.

"It's weakest point is anywhere the shield can't get at you," was all He said. "You think while Red tries to find out where it's best to attack."

"Hey!" yelled the boy as he ran after Red. "We started this fight! Wait for us."

[i]OOC: Well, I'm totally stuck...gotta love writers block. Let's see what you can do with Red XIII, k guys?[/i][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[The Anonymous Usual]

[COLOR=Blue][SIZE=1]Axel moved in complete unison with Roxas. His friend gracefully unleashed a Strike Raid on a large group, engulfing many in flames. Some, however had managed to dodge back, but shorlty met their end when sliced in half by Axel's chakrams. Suddnly on made a jump behind Axel and, with claws outstreatched, aimed for his throat. Turning futiley (sp?), he stared with disbelief into what may be his fate. Just then, the Nobody stopped short in mid-air, and evaporated, revealing Riku holding Way to Dawn where the attacker had been.

"I believe I owe you one...", Axel smiled at Riku as he spun the Chakram in his left hand to parry, and struck quikly with the right to finish an attacking Nobody. Looking over his shoulder he saw Roxas destroying the assailants by the handful, but to no avail.

"Is there an end to this?", he shouted rhetorically with a mixture of fatigue and frustration. Axel executed a sweeping kick to three Dusk as he threw a flaming chakram low towards a group near Roxas. [I]His Drive Form won't hold up forever...[/I] Axel sprang into the air and spun, fending off two foes, but a strong headbut to the chest sent him to the ground. As the attackers closed in a bolt of lightning destroyed four and scattered the rest. Rolling over Axel saw Sora standing about six feet away, witht he Millenium Keyblade held high over his head, perpendicular to the ground. Riku sailed through the air and kicked off the station wall, stabbing downward and defeating the remaining Nobodies from Sora's attack.

"We have to finish this... What's the plan?", Axel turned to Riku. But before he could reply they cought sight of a faint flash. Roxas' Drive had worn off. As Axel rushed to aid his drained friend, Riku and Sora stood back to back, poised for the next onslaught.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3]Yexlash had protected Exandrale from the bright light, but his efforts were in vain as the light had swallowed the both of them now. [b][i]Destiny Islands[/i][/b] was becoming a blur now, it's trees and waters and birds dissapearing. It was swallowed by the light, being replaced with light poles, flat streets, townhouses and malls. As the light dissapated, Yexlash and Exandrale found themselves in [b][i][u]Twilight Town[/u][/i][/b], though they didn't know it.[/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=navy]"Where in the hell am I [u]now[/u]?!"[/color][/i][/b] Exandrale thought, remembering his previous journey through his timeline to Destiny Islands; though the islands' name was still unbeknownst to him. He looked around for the two boys he had seen on the islands in the beginning but they were nowhere to be found.[/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=darkred]"I have no idea, Exandrale,"[/color][/i][/b] Yexlash answered. [b][i][color=darkred]"But we'll soon find out."[/color][/i][/b][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=navy]"Call me 'X' if you don't mind, Yexlash."[/color][/i][/b] Exandrale said to his partner, his black hair glowing from the illuminated light posts. Exandrale had a small smirk on his face.[/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][i][color=darkred][b]" 'X' ?"[/b][/color][/i]Yexlash repeated.[/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][color=navy][b][i]"Yeah. 'X' . That sounds cool, don't you think?"[/i][/b][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=darkred]"I guess so. Come, let's find our way out of this place, X."[/color][/i][/b] Yexlash had to remember that he was talking to a kid again.[/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=navy]"Off to find... Xemnas again, right?"[/color][/i][/b] Exandrale asked, walking with Yeslash now.[/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][color=darkred][b][i]"Correct. He will teach you so much more than I have. so le- Wait. X, did you notice that your wounds have been healed?"[/i][/b][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3]Exandrale paused before moving his body around and jumping in excitement. [b][i][color=navy]"I feel 100%, better than before [u]and a little stronger too[/u]!"[/color][/i][/b] Exandrale half shouted. [b][i][color=navy]"Must have been the fight with you that must've done that though."[/color][/i][/b] Exandrale looked at his Keyblade then, still a million questions concering what he wielded. [b][i][color=navy]"But how was I healed? Was it because of Acheron's untapped powers, or was it because of the overwhelming light that consumed the two of us?"[/color][/i][/b] Exandrale looked at Yexlash who was also healed. "[b][i][color=navy]Yexlash, you look 100% also. Do you feel your strength as well?"[/color][/i][/b] Yexlash looked at his body and smirked at the fact that he felt no internal injuries anymore. However, Exandrale didn't wait for Yexlash to look at him. He looked to the starry sky opposite of Yexlash's direction instead.[/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=navy]"Humph."[/color][/i][/b] Exandrale stated. [b][i][color=navy]"Must've been the light."[/color][/i][/b][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][i]Suddenly a platoon of monsters fell from the sky simultaniously, wanting to test their strength against the two Organization members. They fell in uniformity, making a half moon formation of 25 towards the duo.[/i][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][color=navy][b][i]"What the?"[/i][/b][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=darkred]"Nobodies, specifically [url="http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c271/Lilum/Organization%20XIII%20and%20Nobodies/?action=view¤t=kh2ucr24.jpg"]Samurai's[/url]."[/color][/i][/b] Yexlash stated. [color=darkred][b][i]"Summon your blade, X!"[/i][/b][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][i]Exandrale didn't think twice. He summoned Acheron to his right hand.[/i][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][color=darkred][b][i]"Be on your guard young one. I've never faced [u]this many[/u] before."[/i][/b][/color][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3]Exandrale looked at him in a surprised state. [i][b][color=navy]"What do you mean?"[/color][/b][/i][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][i]Yexlash said nothing however, charging into the heap of enemies head long.[/i][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][color=navy][b][i]"Great."[/i][/b][/color] Exandrale said running behind his comrade.[/size][/font]

[Kitty]

[size=1][indent][color=#830093]The Cheshire Cat grinned from a distance, watching the three battle the large monster. He had predicted the arrival of the third fighter, having felt his presence for quite a while. He wagged his tail as he wondered whether or not joining would be fun when he noticed a young girl approaching.

[b]"Right on time,"[/b] he giggled, fading away like he always did.[/color]

---

Kairi wandered around Twilight Town, wondering whether or not the others had found anything yet in the other directions. She glanced around and noticed that there were several different places to go, and some of them even seemed familiar, but she shook away the feeling.

[b]"This place is so strange. And it's been dusk for a long time,"[/b] she thought aloud, noting the perpetual sunset. Suddenly, her version of a keyblade appeared in her palm, and she gripped it tightly. It pulsed and the glow around it grew brighter as she turned towards the street on her right. As she turned and started walking that way, she heard shouts and grunts.

[b]"A battle?"[/b] she whispered. She started off in a run to get a closer look at the source of the noises.

As she had thought, it was a fight. A boy, a mage, and a... tiger? She wasn't sure what the red beast was exactly, but all three of them were fighting a large monster with a shield.

[b]"Heartless."[/b]

[b]"Indeed,"[/b] came a whisper in her ear. Startled, Kairi stumbled back a few steps, her head snapping around to find who had spoken. [b]"Up here, my dear."[/b] Looking up, she saw a plump cat with odd colored fur floating around.

[b]"Who are you?"[/b] she asked calmly. The cat merely chuckled before pulling off his head and dropping it into her arms. She gasped, but did not drop it. Her keyblade began glowing even more. [b]"What is it?"[/b]

[b]"If you look closely, low and behold..."[/b] the head trailed off. Kairi, carefully holding the cat's head under her left arm, extended her right, keyblade in hand, and pointed it towards the creature. The glow concentrated at the tip of the keyblade, rapidly extending until it reached the beast. Its movement and reaction time slowed down until it was completely still, and the three that had been fighting it looked over to see her.

[b]"Quickly!"[/b] Kairi shouted, realizing that her keyblade had just cast Stopra, though she didn't call for it.

[b]"A mind and a glow of its own. This blade stems from the heart, do not forget,"[/b] said the Cheshire Cat before his head faded away, leaving a slightly confused Kairi behind.[/indent]

OOC: The spell lasts for a little over a minute, so feel free to use or waste the time (whether you want the battle to get over soon or not). Hope you don't mind me including Kairi in the fight. ^_^[/size]

[quote]OOC: Woohoo! Red XIII joined the fight! [url=http://www.seizurerobots.com/][u]Seizure Robot has declared to enter butt kicking mode![/u][/url][/quote]

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/Doublehex/RP/SoF/ferin_titlebar.jpg[/IMG] ?Quickly!? came the cry from a girl in one of the alley ways. The dueling trio turned to see a girl waving at them. Normally, all of them veteran warriors, with the possible exception of Ferin, would show her no heed. However, the fact, which that Ferin concluded could only be possible because he was in the Twilight Zone, time for some bizarre reason had frozen, made Ferin reconsider his decision. And since the girl was also holding a keyblade, Ferin concluded to follow the girl?s advice. He dashed over to her, with the beast and Vivi in hot pursuit. ?Why the hell am I on a TV show? I do not want to be manipulated for TV viewer?s entertainment! Where the hell is Rod Serling?? Kiari gave him a confused look. ?What are you talking about? Who is Rod Serling??? ?Wait ? you mean this isn?t a TV show that deals in the paranormal and the downright weird and confusing?? ?Uh?no.? Ferin sighed. ?Well, there goes that theory.? The red beast decided to intervene in the conversation, deciding that there wasn?t enough time in whatever spell the young lady had just casted for idle chit chat. ?Enough of this! Explain yourself, young lady. As well as you two.? ?Name?s Kairi.? ?Ferin.? ?V-Vivi.? ?They call me Red XIII, but I prefer if you call me Nanaki.? ?Okay then Red,? Ferin decided. ?I said my name was Nanaki.? ?But you just said ?they? call you Red!? ??They? does not necessarily mean you!? Ferin rolled his eyes. ?Whatever.? The small group was interrupted when the time spell wore off, and the beast roared. ?Okay, what the hell is that thing??, Ferin demanded from the red-haired girl. ?It?s called a Heartless. They steal people?s hearts.? ?Okay, this is definitely the Twilight Zone.? Ferin shrugged. ?Ah well, lets just kick its ass! Charge fellow valiant warriors!? Raising the Sleeping Lion high into the air as would a general in an ancient army, Ferin charged against the creature. ??Why does he have two keyblades?? Kairi asked when she realized the One Winged Angel in Ferin?s left arm. ?This is a keyblade??, Vivi asked, realizing the similarity between his weapon and Ferin?s. ?It matters little!? Nanaki (or Red XIII) decided. ?He needs out help!? With that, Nanaki leaped into battle, and Vivi and Kairi decided to help the two weird fellows.

[Kitty]

[size=1][indent]The boy named Ferin jumped wildly at the creature, but was thrown back easily. Vivi threw a couple fireballs which didn't do considerable damage, but managed to make contact with the beast. Red, otherwise known as Nanaki, charged towards the large heartless before jumping into the air, curling into a ball, and colliding with it. Red was sent flying back towards Kairi, while the creature merely stumbled backwards a bit. Ferin, who had tried several times to get close to the creature with little success, noticed Kairi standing still.

[b]"Girl-- er, Kairi! What are you doing?"[/b] he shouted, jumping to the side as the beast smashed its fist where he had been standing. She blinked for a moment upon hearing her name, then realized she was spacing out.

[b]"Sorry!"[/b] she called back. Gripping her Intertwining Destiny keyblade tightly, she glanced around the large section of the street and chose to run around behind the beast while Ferin kept it busy with advances from the front. [b]"Hey Vivi,"[/b] Kairi whispered to the short mage beside her.

[b]"Hmm?"[/b]

[b]"Keep his attention in that direction,"[/b] she pointed. He paused for a moment before nodding and running to a better spot. Kairi burst out into a run, trying her best not to be seen by the heartless. But before she could get to the favorable position, she heard a shout of pain coming from Ferin. He had been hit rather hard by the creature's large shield and was about to get stomped on. Kairi knew she had to heal him, but it would risk her being spotted. But her stopping to think made her too late as the creature's foot contacted with ground. She flinched, and was about to cry out his name when she saw he had disappeared as the heartless lifted its large foot.

[b]"Phew,"[/b] she sighed, though she wondered where he had gone. Figuring Red had snatched him, she continued on her way.[/indent]

OOC: Sorry, it's a short post. Doublehex asked me to, so blame him. :P And there was no Cheshire Cat this time(?). ;3[/size]

[Tekkaman]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3]As Exandrale and Yexlash faced off against the 25 Samurai's in Twilight Town, [b][i]opposite of where the heroes of light were[/i][/b], Yexlash began the onslaught by running [u]headlong[/u] into the fray.[/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=darkred]"Come, X. I'll need your assistance."[/color][/i][/b] Yexlash said aloud before he was swallowed by the enemies. Exandrale followed immediately afterwards, only to automatically go defensive as he launched himself into the pile. [/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3]Three Samurai lunged after the 16 year old Organization Rookie, trying to kill him, Exandrale blocking their multiple attacks with Acheron's blade. They then began to move in unison, two swinging their swords simultaniously but in different angls and directions. One sword swung [b][i][u]vertically[/u][/i] [/b]trying to flay, while the other blade swung[b] [i][u]horizontally[/u][/i][/b] trying to decapitate. Exandrale simply knelt down and blocked both attacks [b][i]by placing Acheron at a [u]diagonal[/u] angle[/i][/b], catching both swords. The third Samurai, however, leapt over the two - holding their positions with Exandrale - bringing down his sword for a final strike. As the third was just about to make his mark, Exandrale [u]exploded[/u] in a fury of black flames - blowing the three samurai towards the rest of their comrades. Exandrale had activated [b][i][u][color=darkgreen]'Lost Souls'[/color][/u][/i][/b] at the [u][i][b]last[/b][/i] second[/u], caught off guard by the leaping Samurai.[/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=navy]"That was [u]close[/u]!"[/color][/i][/b] Exandrale said, [u]wiping the speck of blood off of his forehead[/u] from the Samurai's blade. [b][i][color=navy]"That [u]bastard[/u] almost killed me!"[/color][/i][/b][/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3]Yexlash was fighting off 10 Samurai while yelling at X. [/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][color=darkred][b][i]"I told you to -"[/i][/b][/color][/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=navy]"Yeah, yeah, [u]stay on my guard[/u]. I know, I know..."[/color][/i][/b] Exandrale said, making the mouth movements with his free hand, his body covered in black flames still.[/size][/font]
[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=darkred]"You stupid [u]bastard[/u]!"[/color][/i][/b] Yexlash yelled. [b][i][color=darkred]"Your overconfidence will on.. ge...y.."[/color][/i][/b] The rest of his words swallowed by the increased fighting around them. [/size][/font][font=Palatino Linotype][size=3]Exandrale flexed his muscles, [u]ignoring his mentor[/u]. His body felt so much stronger this time from casting [b][i][color=darkgreen][u]'Lost Souls'[/u][/color][/i][/b], he felt as if he could take on all of the Samurai at once. [b][i]However[/i][/b], he remembered that his [u]speed[/u] was reduced from casting this move due to the massive powers he gained. He wouldn't make that same mistake twice, as he did fighting Yexlash the first time.[/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=navy]"Come and get some."[/color][/i][/b] Exandrale half yelled to the Samurai. [u]11 of them[/u] - including the 3 that were attacking the rookie from the start - stopped, looked at the one who had called them out and began to walk towards [b][i]#XV[/i][/b].[/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=navy]"Holy shit."[/color][/i][/b] X said, dumbfounded. [b][i][color=navy]"They're not fucki-"[/color][/i][/b][/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3]The Samurai had jumped in unison at the boy in mid-sentence. They all came down with their blades at the same time, Exandrale using Acheron to block [u][b][i]all 11 swords[/i][/b][/u]. Even with the power up from [b][i][u][color=darkgreen]'Lost Souls'[/color][/u][/i][/b], X's strength began to waver quickly from the force of all 11 Samurai pushing down upon him. Not wanting to give up however, Exandrale began to fill his body with increased adrenaline, pumping every vein in his body with blood. Eyes black and red from the transformation and with hair on end, Exandrale looked at the Samurai who had held him down on one knee.[/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][color=navy][b][i]"I won't fall that easily!!"[/i][/b][/color][/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3]Exandrale sprang up with [u]all of his might[/u], blasting through the 11 Nobodies who had covered their prey in body and sword. As gravity took over, Exndrale looked down to see Samurai bodies temporarily floored.[/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][i][color=navy]* That's my oppurtunity. *[/color][/i] Exandrale thought, not wanting to miss his chance as he came to the ground. As he found the concrete from his flight, he moved to the closest Samurai, stabbing him in the heart before slashing horizontally. The other two Samurai who were getting up were seperated at the waist from the horizontal attack of Exandrale. He then flung Acheron as hard as he could chopping down 3 other Samurai who were running towards him at full force. Just as Exandrale called his Keyblade to his right hand after the throw, [b][i]a Samurai from behind slashed Exandrale in the back with his sword[/i][/b], causing him to grasp his leaking wound in pain. Exandrale kneeled and turned around before the Samurai could get off another attack and came up with Acheron, vertically cutting the Nobody in half before complaining from the pain of the Samurai sword.[/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=navy]"Gawd Damn, that hurt like a [u]bitch[/u]!"[/color][/i][/b] Exandrale said aloud, holding onto the wound with his free hand. He looked at it afterwards, revealing bright red blood stained onto his hand. He then looked at anger towards the last four Samurai he had to fight before helping Yexlash [i](If he needed it that was)[/i].[/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3][b][i][color=navy]"Bastards."[/color][/i][/b] Exandrale said aloud, his flames increasing from anger and adrenaline until it looked as if he was consumed by a dark fireball. [b][i][color=navy]"You'll [u]all[/u] pay."[/color][/i][/b][/size][/font]

[font=Palatino Linotype][size=3]The four Samurai, [b][i]not caring about their lost comrades[/i][/b], readied their weapons at the stranger.[/size][/font]

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/Doublehex/RP/SoF/ferin_titlebar.jpg[/IMG] Right before the heartless? foot would have had crushed him, Ferin found himself on a tower. ?The hell?? Suddenly, he was back in Twilight Town, standing right next to Kairi. ?The hell!? she screamed as she fell to the ground. ?How did you-? I mean, you were there?and now you?re here, and?? Ferin didn?t let her finish her poorly formulated sentence, however. He just sprinted off to join in the fight. The monster howled as its massive fists smashed into the ground, forcing Nanaki and Vivi to stay back. They couldn?t even get close to it, unless they wanted to be smashed into oblivion. But then along came Ferin, totally throwing away the threat of danger, leaping into battle! Using a pile of rubble as a giant trampoline, Ferin leaped atop of the beast. The monster slammed its shield at Ferin, sending him flying into a wall. Ferin however, managed to land on his feet and ricocheted right back at the monster, keyblades first. The colossus was too slow to counter, and Ferin?s attack sent the monster flying, on top of Kairi if it weren?t for Nanaki. ?For a fool, he has at least some idea on what to do,? Nanaki half-complimented the keyblade master as he dropped Kairi off before joining his comrades. Vivi showered the monster with a collection of frost missiles, the red beast clawed and assaulted the beast, and Ferin continued to dig his two keyblades into the monster?s back. Soon enough, the warriors were assured that victory was theirs. That is, until the heartless shook them off, and slammed its shield into the ground, sending a large shockwave Ferin?s way, who had his foot trapped under some rubble.

[Ellerby]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Vivi quickly started making notes of the monster's attacks in his head. He would later right all of these thoughts in his journal for future useage. You see, although Vivi looks young and stupid, he's probably one of the smartest people there. Especially when it comes to Black Magic.

He was about to attack the heartless when he noticed Ferin stuck under some rubble. Racking his brain to think of something to do, he pointed his attack (Fire II) at Ferin. The man's face changed from struggle to fear as he noticed Vivi's keyblade pointed at him.

"Vivi stop!" he yelled. But Vivi didn't listen. Just as his attack finished charging, he quickly whisked the blade to the left (where the Heartless stood, unaware of anything) and shot two streams of hot flames at it. It cried out in pain and held it's back with both arms. This created an opening for Red XIII to attack, and gave Kairi a chance to stop and help Ferin out.

Vivi cast Stonaga while the heartless was being beaten. This created 7-10 boulders appear in the sky and fall on the heartless creature causnig him to fall to the ground. Immediately everyone charged him again and ended up in the same situation as before.

...except this time, Vivi was casting sleep on it.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[The Anonymous Usual]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1]As Roxas came out of his Drive Form, a group of Dusk used this window of opportunity to strike simultaneously. Roxas swung at the first two assailants, and was about to reverse the blade to take out the other two. But was slightly stunned when the Nodboies collided with a chakram. Quickly swivling his head right he caught his friend charging to his aid. Noticing an enemy spring up behind Axel.

"Get down!", he shouted quickly. Axel dropped in mid-step as the keyblade soared over his head, cutting the Dusk in two. There were generally two groups now. Sora, Riku, and Seth fighting together. An Roxas and Axel teamed together. Axel faced the Nobodies and dropped low for a sweeping kick, destroying one enemy and bring his chakram around to turn another into smoke. Roxas jumped up and kicked off the wall, sweeping low and sending what Dusk that weren't destroyed, flying into the others. Axel decided to sieze this moment. He raised both arms parallel to the ground, out to his sides. He lowered his head and gathered all of his remaining Magic Power. Slowly looking up, he raised his eyes to look upon the clumsy band of white, flowing bodies. He spoke,

"Well guys, its been fun," he began, swiftly swinging his hands to his frond, palms open in his traditional stance, "but this has to end now!" A great plume of flame shot from the space his hands met. As the few Nobodies who survived the attack were silenced by Roxas' keyblade, Axel stared into the sky and watched as the smoke-like vapor released from the fallen Dusk dissapated. [I]Were they going to there too? Or were these lesser, soulless creatures damned to wander in oblivion?[/I] He was shaken from his thoughts when a loud thump was heard. Roxas turned o him.

"Was that a crash?" Roxas inquired to himself as he averted his attention from Axel to the street leading to the center of town.

"Riku!", Axel shouted to the boy of silver hair, smiling, "Can you guys hand the restof the these bastards?" Riku slashed through an enemy and turned to give Axel a winning smile. Grinning back, Axel turned to Roxas, who nodded as if to know exactly what his friend was thinking. They both bolted off to investigate.

"What were all those Dusk about?", Axel called to Roxas.

"I don't know, really,", he began, "but I'm having the same feeling as earlier. I think it's the keyblade wielder from the clocktower.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][B]OOC:[/B] Hey, sorry I haven't posted in a while, I got lost along the road of life *Kakashi's great*. Oh, and I hope you guys (Doublehex, White, and company) don't mind Me and Abel coming.[/SIZE]

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v143/Doublehex/RP/SoF/ferin_titlebar.jpg[/IMG] The heartless fell to the ground, and Ferin landed casually on a pair of rubble. The embers from his boots had finally died away, and some of the scarred stone still burnt with some fire. Moments before, he had managed to throw the colossal beast into air. Leaping to his feet, Alex kicked the monster multiple times before slamming it into the ground with a fiery blast. Of course, this had only mild effects on the monster?s capability to fight. If anything, the assault made it all the more willing to tear its attackers to pieces. Between Nanaki?s hit and run attacks, Vivi?s elemental spells, Ferin?s constant assaults and Kairi?s occasional burst of energy, it was obvious that the beast?s strength was being sapped, if but at a snail?s pace. Ferin?s once constant amount of stamina was, unfortunetley, running out. He panted heavily as sweat dripped down his face. He didn?t know how long he could last at the way this fight was going. Even with three other people, he wasn?t exactly sure this thing could be beat. Then, the calvary arrived. A wave of fire engulfed the monster, sending it crashing into one of the walls that had not yet been toppled over. Everyone turned to face the new ally ? a red headed teenager holding two disc like weapons. He leaped from a rooftop, landing on his feet practically in front of Ferin. Of course, the new fighter had his back turned on Ferin. Typical. The new combatant gave a thumb ups the other fighter?s way. ?Looks like you guys could use some help!? He turned into the direction the heartless would be, but instead found himself staring at Ferin. ?You! You?re from the Organization!? Ferin raised an eyebrow. ?The wha?? The red head jumped back. ?Don?t play dumb with me! It?s obvious! The nobodies, the heartless, that black cloak you?re wearing! You?re with the Organization! Well, get ready for ass kicking.? ?What the hell??

[Orcus]

[SIZE=1]Axel raised his chakrams up to engage in battle with Ferin when Roxas came bounding around the croner and tackled his aly to the side. Axel looked at him in frustration and attemted to thrown him off.

[B]"What're you doing? He's with the Organization! We gotta take care of him!"[/B] Roxas sighed and jumped off of him, pointing to the monster the crew had been fighting.

[B]"He's been helping them! He may be in Organization attire, but we were at one time too, remember? He's our ally for right now, and he doesn't seem to know anything about the Organization anyway."[/B] Roxas leaned in close to Axel to finish the rest of his sentence, [B]"And anyway, if we keep him in one piece, he can tell us who exactly gave him that robe, who the new Organization is."[/B] Axel nodded and turned to the young warrior, outstretching his hand.

[B]"Sorry about that, I should really look before I lep from now on. I thought you were someone else. My name's Axel, and that there is Roxas. Got it memorized?"[/B] Axel lifted Ferin up and placed his hand on the back of his head, grinning. Ferin dusted himself and nodded towards the two of them.

[B]"Yah... My name's Ferin."[/B] Ferin said slowly, before he was knocked back by Roxas, with just enough time to miss the monster's massive hand collide with the ground where Ferin stood. Roxas summoned his keyblade and readied himself. He spun it a couple times and tossed it at the creature, using it as a distraction to talk to Ferin and Axel.

[B]"Once again, now's not the time for pleasantries! We'll get formally introduced later, but for now, we've come to help kick ass!"[/B] Roxas grabbed his keyblade as it came back to him. Ferin agreed and stood up, but was extremely tired so he fell back down. Roxas noticed out of the corner of his eye and clenched his teeth. He knew that Ferin wouldn't stand a chance against the creature in his current state. Roxas looked around on the battlefield, feeling out for the other warriors magic to judge which may have a curative spell. And he found that, in Kairi.

[B]"Kairi! Ferin needs your assistance! Me, Axel, Vivi, and the fox will take care of the creature!"[/B] Kairi nodded and ran towards Ferin, not questioning why the blonde-haired boy knew her name. It didn't actually seem all that wierd. The wolf-like creature ran towards Roxas and yelled at him.

[B]"My name is Red XIII, or Nanaki. Not 'the Fox'. Kay?"[/B] Roxas nodded and the two warrirors lunged at the creatire in a ferocious assualt. Axel joined them, and Vivi stood casting his fire spell on the monster, unleashing a blazing onslaught upon it. However, the creature still cam on strong, swinging its massive arms at the warriors.

[The Anonymous Usual]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1]With a burst of flame from Vivi's weapon, the fighters engaged. Axel lept through the blaze and materialized before the beast, punching towards its chest and and sinking a spike from his chakrams into its flesh. Then, placing hish feet on the monster, weapon still piercing the skin, he let loose a firey blash and kicked off, ending him safely backward, and the heartless stumbling the opposite way.

[I]Who is manipulating these creatures? Hoardes of Nobodies. Giganic heartless. Something was in the works. The Organization had appearantly re-assembled, as indicated by the boy's cloak. But he couldn't possibly be with Xemnas. He died anyway, didn't he. Could some of these Nobodies really, even die? [/I] Axel thought hard as he dodged a sweep fromthe beast. Running sideways, he passed Roxas, who unleashed a powerful Strike Raid, coupled with an attack by the Red Cat, knocking the Heartless into a wall. As Axel's thoughts began to race, his mind drifted back to the void, The Realm of Naught. [I]Is it possible that Xemnas appeared there too, and was it possible that his will was strong enough to allow him a true soul?[/I] His mind was racing and as he cast a pillar of fire at the beast. [I]Roxas and I, we were brought back for a reason, but what have we gotten into?[/I] As he was sidetracked, he didn't have enough time to react when the colossal heartless hit him square in the chest and sent him crashing to the wall. He gasped from the force of his collision. He quickly raised his hand to cast flames in the approaching beast's face. However, where a proud burst of fire was suppose to appear, a weak ember fluttered to the ground. [I]Shit.[/I]

As Axel knew he couldn't possibly escape, he crutched ready to defend, but there was little hope in him. All of a sudden, Roxas appeared above the monster, jamming his Keyblade into its back, while the the Red Cat secured a leg. As Roxas shifted his weight the monster lost balance and fell to the right. Then, all three warriors lept aside as Vivi raised his weapon to cast Stonaga.

The heartless was para lized with fatigue s he began to rise. The four stood, poised. The fight would be drawing to a close.

Axel and Roxas engaged. While Axel ran off towars the wall, Roxas burst off in the oposite direction. Axel then lept up, kicked off of the wall, and used the force of his jump to add proplsion to his chakrams, which were just leaving his fingertips and cutting through the air towards a boulder from Vivi's spell. Simultaneously, Roxas had used a massive amount of energy to send his keyblade whirling toward a stone next to Axel's target. The collisions were meant to shatter both stones and send debris fly, in an attenpt to limit the already less-than-mobile foe. It worked. A stone had hit the beast clear in the eye as it was unsteadily standing up. Nanaki siezed this moment to leap at the creature's chest while it was unbalanced an sink his razor sharp fangs into it's dark flesh.

The three, Axel, Roxas and Nanaki, began to attack the immobile creture vigorously while it growled helplessly. As Roxas and Axel stood ready at the monster's throat, they saw it shudder and a blank expression washed over it's face. Turning they saw Ferin, Keyblade stuck deep into the beast's chest. He smile wearily,

"Couldn't let you guys have all the fun.", The group smiled back. Then Axel frowned and walked quikly over to Ferin. He reached out and took hold fof the black cloak and quickly jabbed his arm downward, tearing the cloak.

"Hey, what the he-", Ferin started, but was cut off when Axel pulled and tore the garment off comlpetely, sending Ferin stumbling backward and falling to the ground.Axel began,

"Whoever gave this to you is the enemy.", he spoke fircely, yet not raising his voice, "How did you get this?", his voice growing louder now.

"Some other guy in a black cloak," Ferin began angrily, "I just showed up here after fighting some other giant monster, no one knew me anymore, and this guy came out of a portal and gave it to me! I don't even know what the hell is going on and why did it have to happen to me!" He shouted. Axel was stunned for a moment, then he looked down as a calm spread across his face. He slowly stepped closer to Ferin and extended his hand to him. After a tense moment, Ferin smiled back and took his hand and Axel helped him up. [/SIZE][/COLOR]
