A small boy was with the Trio of Twilight this New Year's Eve, sharing an ice cream with them. The eyes were brown, hair was brown and in a tie. His clothes were gray, boots were gray, and coat was gray. His empty eyes munched the cold treat, he noticed the group coming in, pointing a finger with a small grunt to speak.
"Alright, Tickets to the only train coming in, Sunset Terrace." The woman took the munny and gave Riku the proper amount of tickets. "Thank you, have a nice new Year." With that, she closed up her window and left to go party somewhere to watch the clock.
"Yeah, New Year's Eve." The woman repeated. "C'mon, either get a ticket or go, you're the last people here." She bitterly stated, annoyed that these people wouldn't leave to let her go for the twinight.
"Last Train arriving for the day. So all you loiterers get out the door or into the train, we'll be closing up soon." A nasal-y female voice chirped onto the loud speaker, who happened to be at the ticket counter. "Seriously dolls, make it or break it. But you still gotta buy a ticket." The lady groaned. "Some of us have a New Year's party to spend with our families."
Ooc: alright. When Gex comes to us from next year, we'll discuss it. Besides, he's already in 2012
"No, has deserves the respect that we are going to give him. He is one of the oldest men I know, the wisest, and most powerful. He even trained Mickey." Eden growled. "He could overpower us in a heartbeat." She warned. She would not allow arrogance to dissuade her one chance to go higher and possibly get closer to home.
Eden breathed in the air, then went back inside to shake her only nobody companion awake. Equius was getting out and doing some exercises and bashing his head into trees to keep his thick skull damage proof and as dangerous as his beak. "C'mon Gex, we're here. Remember, Yen Sid is very powerful, and we must be polite to him."
The trip was relatively easy, spending about a good 20 minutes resting before the gummi beeped an announcement. " Landing: Master Yen Sid's Tower." it chirped. The Wielder groaned, raising herself and her bird up and releasing the hatch to explore the floating aether rock.
"Supposedly. From the only exam I have seen." Eden shrugged. "Gex, rest up. I'm gonna sleep." She nuzzled into the feathers of her great bird, and he nodded off as well. The Wielder rested easy, believing she was safe for now.
Eden wanted to register the darkness in Gexln's voice, but was too tired to do so. "I dunno. I remember that a Wielder had to fight her wielder friend in order to see if she passed or failed. I dunno if YenSid will do things different, or even allow us to take the test. We might have to fight each other."
Eden breathed easier now that everyone was behind them. She petted Equius, happy she could bring him for the ride. Though he had to sit for the ride, she didn't mind. She nuzzled into the deep crimson feathers, glancing at Gexln. "Better rest up. Or eat up. This exam isn't going to be easy."
Eden finally found some sort of button (after searching for a bit) that looked useful. And it indeed did. Though, the term "nitro" on a button would be useful, so bashing that big red button, the gummi spluttered and shooted off until it hit space. "Gummi, set course to Yen Sid's tower."
Eden looked out to her wannabe-hitch hiker, but opened the hatch and threw a few warning fires to keep him away. "Stay back!" she growled, but would only throw the fire a certain distance away from him. Enough to scare, but not enough to provoke. Closing the once more, she kicked the ship into more life to jumpstart its travel.
"We're going to take the Mark of Mastery and so we need to get to the gummi before they do. There, I see it." Eden noticed a small, calmly walking figure. "Dammit." Arms sparking of magic, she was about to murder whoever the trespasser was... until she saw that person carrying from what looked like a bundle from a faraway glance, but Eden could tell was a baby... well, since she knew the Wielder of Light had created one. She calmed herself down, keeping her eyes trained on the gummi, not daring to harm a baby. By mere minutes, her fast paced, but panting, bird was at the brightly colored lego mess, the owner squeezing him inside. "There, go go go!" she ran in, shutting the hatch, and revving up the engines.
With a quick extinguishing, she clicked for equius to come back. "I'm back, and we need to leave. C'mon Gex, to the Gummi. " With that, the Wielded mounted her bird, and the bird snapped his beak to pick up the nobody by the coat.
To get to the Gummi, Eden had to travel within the Great Maw. Her aerial view from the other areas as shown her the carnage, and Gexln fighting against Heartless. "Gex! C'mon Eq, yah!" Jumping down and sliding the cliff, the Wielder's eyes glowed of fire as she dismounted. Pushing herself to her powers' limit, she kamikaze'd the heartless, burning their empty husks into oblivion.
Eden kept going on, and she could barely detect fire in the frigid air. "C'mon Eq, to the Gummi." she urged on, like she was trying to escape something. What that something is no one really will ever know, and maybe that's what pumped The Wielder's heart to a new height.
With the port set up, the User and her bird set up an exit port. A successful escape was preformed, and the User's disc stayed within place, powering the port. In Ansem's computer lab, Eden ran off with Equius to the gummi. She was going to get Gexln and go to YenSid's Tower.
Eden kept Equius running, looking for some kind of port station to try to-- "Hello..." and getting what she wanted, she allowed her steed to trot over to a small machine within a particularly old fluorescent building. Small, and the port was familiar. There was little power, so she would have to allow some new fresh power to be given. "Alright, how to work this..." she took off the disc on her back, locking it into the machine's back. It hummed, powering the port. "Perfecto."
"Really, had no power to get me out of the system? For shame you wretched piece of code." Eden spat at the sad leader, and off she went on her bird. It was getting quite annoying being blinded by all the fluorescent lighting, but then again Earth wasn't much the wiser with it sometimes. "Eq, we're going to have to find our way out somehow..." she muttered, hopping off to whatever area seemed fit.
