Group B for me, if that's all right, also, may I equip Mine Square?
Kross is arriving to Beast's Castle, ready to dance with the devil!
Kross breathed out and stood up, walking over to the main entrance, but not before he stopped by the screen. He blinked, Corona, Camelot or Beast's castle. He scratched his chin and nodded once, then looked to the sde, Glen seemed eager. He grinned smally before turning to the elder wizard, taking the shining sphere in his hand, it seemed to be some sort of defense magic. Something called a Mine Square. He didn't understand it well, but he wouldn't question it, the magic would prove to be useful. He glanced to the screen before racing out after Glen. "Wait for me!" He called out, lightly chuckling. He stopped and threw his keyblade into the sky, the blade flashing before his faithful glider came to him. He bounded, straddling it and gripped the handle, zooming off to the Lanes Between after Glen, he chose his world, so he couldn't wait to go there.
Kross swung, cleaving the last Neoshadow in half, his sharp eyes caught something falling to the ground from the fallen heartless. He caught it by the chain and held it up, opening the locket. What he saw in the locket made him quirk a brow."A mirror?"He said. As he stared into the mirror, his reflection distorted a bit, instead of white hair, his reflection had navy blue hair, his past self, though he looked relatively unchanged, Kross was still very surprised at this."What is this..?" He said, closing the locket. He blinked twice."Just how long was I out?" He murmured, pocketing the locket and going on, however relieved he was that the battle was over, these things were still a threat to the innocent.
Kross's head snapped up, immediately snapped away from his muse, it wasn't any ESP or anything like that but he had the distinct impression that something was definitely wrong. The air was thicker, filled with more malice than he could breath. he immediately got up and went forward towards the great hall, going down the steps quickly and went to the entrance, pausing at the door before pulling the two open, revealing the Forecourt. He quickly went down the flight of steps and went to a corner, leaning back and letting his back slap the wall, breathing in and exhaling, closing his eyes and biting his lower lip. He couldn't sense where the threat came from but a darkness that thick would not allow him to breathe. He closed his eyes, trying to resolve the pulsing headache that wracked his brain.
Kross looked at the three cards, listening to Etrius explain them. He looked particularly at the Emperor card, his eyes misted over as his memories swirled in his mind."Master Xahenort may not be above this but..according to the Master, he's not responsible..his wayward apprentice is."He momentarily tensed and looked up at Etrius."It doesn't make sense though..! Vanitas is much too turbulent to be a mastermind, and from my impression of him, so are his allies. There has to be some ulterior, more hidden authority giving these three orders."He said, breathing in as Etrius slammed his hand on the table, talking about killing those three. He tensed, feeling kind of sick to his stomach at the thought."..I'm against killing, but I think at this point it seems to be the only option..the problem is finding them though. I only met one of them and he was very elusive."He watched as Etrius left, again leaving Kross to his thoughts, what if he wasn't ready for killing? Granted, Kross was a mage, not a warrior, he was taught to kill but only by his mother. He never got the killer's instinct.
Kross furrowed his brows, his eyes watching Etrius as he laid the cards on the table, having an impression of tarot cards. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, his brown eyes looking up at Etrius as he explained."One cannot exist without the other..while that is true, it's a favorite excuse to justify the threats of the darkness."He said, his frown lowered."I wouldn't think Vanitas would be fully responsible."He said, rubbing his arms and leaned back."Like you said, a group could be responsible for controlling these..things, but why? Does it have to do with Terra, Aqua, Ventus and Master Eraqus's disappearances?"He asked, rubbing his arm again, nervously thinking."..We have to do something."
Kross kept his pace, hearing screaming in the distance. When he heard it, he could see a town ahead, the heartless chasing after people and slashing them, Neoshadows..those abomination that injured him and put him into a coma. He grit his teeth and his Odin keyblade appeared."They're in trouble--!"He whispered, forgetting about his well being for the sake of others. He ran and slid to a stop in the middle of the street, brown eyes scanning around at the heartless as his blade was held tightly in his hands. "All right, time to stretch.."He said, his keyblade shining orange as he fired a Firaga that compressed when it hit a neoshadow, then exploded into a large orb of fire. The neoshadows were thrown into the air, and he went to work, leaping up and slashing them apart one by one.
Kross leaned forward, his eyes sharpened as he saw one world ahead of him, the green forestry was something he definitely recognized. The Land of Dragons, a floral world filled with green and blue. He sped up, going through a portal that he made outside of the world, landing safely and jumped from his glider, his armor vanishing as he landed elegantly, standing up straight as he caught his keyblade and glanced around, cautiously walking through the forest.
Kross was silent at Etrius's question, the man had a good point, Krowley and the Heartless could not be left alone, there was too much at risk for that. He paused in his eating and set his elbows down on the table, folding his arms infront of him as he chose his words carefully, he didn't want to sound like he was speculating."I had the same concerns, Etrius."He told him."So..I visited Master Yen Sid. I thought that Master Xahenort had something to do with this but Master Yen Sid corrected that. He said that his apprentice, Vanitas had betrayed Master Xahenort."He paused a beat."For a new Master..I don't know the connection between this new Master and the Heartless, but I can say that whoever this master is, he's powerful, possibly enough to create the Heartless."He said, rubbing his cheek and looked at them."At least that's what I think."
Kross smiled as Cat offered him something to eat, he sat down and took some rolls, and then some salad."I think I will, thanks Flora, I had a salad earlier so this shouldn't affect me too much.."He said, glancing up as another came in, she looked familiar, wasn't she the person he helped heal when she was in that fight? He waved over to her."Nice to meet you Luna, or re-meet you anyway, I'm Kross Connery. Yes, there's plenty of food, go on and help yourself!"He said, seeing Kel return. He gave a wave at the boy, inviting him to come over too, as if what had happened earlier was just a memory.
He found not a soul in his graveyard, not his allies, not even his enemies. He looked at his keyblade, eyes narrowed and then closed them."I hope I still remember how to do this.."He trailed off, reaching for a dark blue armor piece on his left forearm. A Shining light shone around him, and when it faded, it revealed him in a set of armor with a blue and brown color scheme, two prongs looking like inverted horns on his helmet. He breathed in, good, his armor was still there. He threw his keyblade behind him, the keyblade flashing a moment before transforming into his rider. The rider faithfully came to him and he jumped on it, seating himself and leaned forward, blasting up. A portal appeared infront of him and he zoomed through, disappearing into outer space.
Kross had finally recovered heaving, straightening up and glancing around. He had recognized this area, the area that the Master had told him about. In legends past, a war was fought here to claim a special light known as Kingdom Hearts. He closed his eyes, the eerie silence was peace to him. Almost automatonically, he leveled a hand up, his Odin keyblade appearing in his hand, sticking straight up with the little multicolored rose keychain dangling idly in the wind."...Friends through time again.."He whispered, his voice carrying into the wind. He began his stroll.
The Keyblade Graveyard, the soil on which light and darkness were locked in combat. a vicious war that threatened to tear the universe asunder. And here he was, gracing the barren soil with his unconscious form. Having come to only minutes before, he mulled over each possibility of getting here. Slowly, he crept up to his fours, A splitting headache soon followed. The young man closed his eyes tight and shook his head, slapping ahand to his temple. Had his keyblade saved him? Slowly, he rose, stumbling but managed to right himself into an erect posture. He held his stomach and leaned forward, coughing profusively at the dehydration and the amount of time he slept, both were a great factor to his current condition. He was bad off but it could have been worse. "I could have been dead.."He heaved out.
Username: kross123 Character name: Kross Age: 37 Appearance: Side: Light Personality: In the past, Kross was light hearted, cheerful and an all around sunny guy. As the years passed though, and many battles later, he had become more reserved and quiet, he still maintains his friendliness but he is more focused and mature. Weapon: Kross's main keyblade: Odin Element (You may choose one): Thunder Starting world(not a disney world): Ends up in Keyblade Graveyard Additional information: He might or might not be cannon to SOS Kross
Krosscame back into the kitchen, despite the conflicts, he seemed like his old cheerful self again, maybe it was because he helped someone. He went into the dining room and saw the others."Flora! How are you? Is that a friend of yours?"He asked, indicating Cat.
Kross watched Ananta speed off from the fight. He was just as concerned for her as he was everyone else. He heard Karina's snip and he turned his head, brown eyes set on her. His brows furrowed,considering her words for a moment before he summoned his keyblade, twitterpated. He twirled his keyblade and rose it into the air. A green light surrounded Karina's form, mending any cuts accelerating any healing she was in the process of. "Heal!" He exclaimed, casting Cure on Karina. He looked at her for a long moment. He turned and took his leave, not having anything to say to her. the haori around his waist flapped gracefully behind him, he had done his work here, no reason to stay further.
Kross went on his way out the door and spotted the two girls fighting, not with keyblades but with fists. He couldn't bother to intervene unless he was seriously needed. Though it looked like the fight could escalate with broken bones and wounds. His eyebrows knitted slightly and his mouth proned down. Twitterpated appeared in his hand and he aimed the deer-headed keyblade at them, then aimed down and shot a blizzard spell between their feet. It wasn't an attack and he wasn't being provacative, he only wanted to stop the fight before it needlessly got someone hurt."I think that's enough."He said, bringing his keyblade to his side and dispelling it."There's no point now."
This isn't a new character(Since he was in BBS) But I would like to at least see what happened to Zack, or at least introduce him in one of the worlds, that would be more than nice.
Kross knew there was dissention in the ranks. With the fights going on and the escalating tension, he was surprised that no one was breaking order. Where was Master Eraqus when you need him? For that matter, where was anyone mature enough to handle this type of situation? The young keyblader did finish his salad a minute ago, pushing his plate away from him and got up. There were more important things to do, such as figure the three dark figures..who were they and what could they possibly gain from taking Terra, Ventus and Aqua. He wracked his brain for any possible answers."...They like to avoid direct conflict, that's all I know about them."
