AJ had caught up to them and gave his opinion on the situation, and while he did agree with the doubts that he held about given them out their names, from the sounds of it they already knew who they were. "Its probably better if we go along with all this, for the time being, they aren't forcing us to stay put or stop us from trying to get to the others." It was likely just expected that they would go see the ones who were looking for them before heading off to the summit. "Then if the goal is to find Karina's father and therefore Karina herself, should we try asking either that nurse or find someone else that might know where he is?"
"Is it? I mean I guess." He never really thought his last name was all that cool. "Wait, my dad is here?!" How did he even get here and why had been the first things on his mind, but were short lasted when the nurse revealed where Karina and Stratos was. Stratos being in jail made less sense to him than his father being here and Karina being with her father was greatly worrisome as well. "They did give us these compass's to find them, so that way we can still know where to go after we help out the others." He said to Luna as he left fo follow behind Beuce.
"If that's all this place is, then couldn't you have just asked us to come aboard then just forcing us aboard?" Assuming everything that this nurse had told them was true-and that she had no reason to lie to them-that really didn't make sense to bring them aboard this way. "My name is Kel...Siegend." Perhaps he was giving too much away, but given how cooperative she was being, this simple act couldn't have been too problematic.
Zeke wasn't all too pleased to know that these guys held all that information on him. Even if most of the information that they could've gotten on him was nothing special, the ease of access was much more concerning. Naturally, this was used as a means to incitive him into going along with whatever it was that they had planned for this hastily made group. Even with the options given to them, he still felt as if he was in a box that happened to be in the palm of their hands. One way or another they would have to be secretive about this as well as be on some form of surveillance. "Me being calm is to keep anyone I don't trust from learning too much about me, not that it really matters right now." He said looking towards Nicholas. "How long will this task take?"
Beuce's explanation did fill in some of the gaps in his memory between sealing the keyhole and waking up here, but the question of why all that was done to them still bothered him. This didn't look like anyplace intended to do them harm even when taking into account how they were brought here. "Right." Kel got off the bed and approached the nurse that was currently being questioned by Beuce.
Kel felt his consciousness slowly returning to him as his eyes opened to the bright lights of the room, quickly prompting him to squint so that he could adjust properly to his new surroundings. On his right, he could hear the voices of both Beuce and Luna both of which as confused as he was now just waking up. "I'm up, don't worry." He called out while in the process of sitting up on the bed he was laid on. "Why exactly are we here?" It was the first thing on his mind as he looked back to see AJ and Ananta still resting.

Kel could feel his aura begin to subside at the end of the battle, marked by the frost on both his keyblade and arms beginning to subside. Still, even when all the ice had fallen off his body, he still felt cold. Colder than he usually did when his aura activated. "This feels...odd." He muttered as the fact that it had been a bunch of gods given them this ovation was strange to him. All and all the titans had been, quite literally, thrown out and Hades sulked off back to the underworld from the sounds of it. By this point, his body started to properly regulate its temperature and he glanced at the keyhole that had just appeared. "I can take care of this." It was something he's seen done many, many, many times and it never seemed like a hard task to do. He gripped his keyblade with both hands, aiming it upward to allow the tip to be enveloped by a bright light that would resonate with the keyhole. The light soon reached it's peak, sealing this world's keyhole. "And done, you're world should be a bit safer now."
Zeke's walk was pretty uneventful as both ones would expect and much to his enjoyment. His hands were placed into his pockets and he just kept walking, soon feeling like that he's gotta enough of the fresh air and that it was time to head back home. He started walking off in that direction and hearing someone call out his name. His real name at that and not one the random ones that he gave to people that asked. This brought about some concern which turned to confusion upon seeing who it was who called out to him. A girl, a couple of years younger than him by the looks of it. This struck him as odd as he's never seen her before in his, very confined, life (which she even confirmed) but he was willing to hear her out. Until she gave him a reason to flee. Zeke found himself raising a brow at her explaining what her powers were among other things. "It's fine." The shock barely fazed him so it didn't think much of it. He gave her 'file' a look through in what he thought at first was humoring her. Instead, this set off the first warning flag in his mind. It looked official, government official and handing him his own file had done little to make him feel better. Zeke stood there holding his own file, not opening it as his mental war on what to do waged. His instincts told him to run, pack up his few things and leave to a new city. At the same time, this girl was a barista at coffee shop. Not some secret government agent and especially now one from the facility that he managed to escape from. She was in the same boat as he was more or less. Eventually, all he could do was to just sigh. "Alright, I'll follow you." But if I came down to it, he find a way out if needed.
Finally some service, he thought that he would never get to this point even if had only been a few minutes really. "Yes, I would like a Trenti iced coffee, 12 pumps of sugar-free vanilla, 12 pumps of sugar-free hazelnut, 12 pumps of sugar-free caramel, 5 pumps of skinny mocha, a splash of soy, coffee to the star on the siren's head, ice, double-blended. Oh and a with extra caramel and extra whipped cream, layered if you don't mind and a banana. You were writing this all down right?" And that is exactly what he ordered, completely serious.
As the clock ticked closer to the holy time of 4:30, another challenge was thrown Danni's way. Mark was a simple man, dressed rather plainly and strode into the coffee shop. Despite seeing that Danni was very clearly getting ready to leave, he stood in front of the counter. "Helloooo, I'm ready to have my order taken." He called, impatiently at that as he repeatedly tapped his fingers atop the counter. He spent a fair bit of time deciding on what he wanted to do as getting some amount of fresh air was something that he did want to do today. The main problem was what exactly that could he do that wouldn't leave a trail back to him. Anything he bought was paid for in cash and if his name was needed for anything, he generally gave a fake one. A bit extreme they might've been, but needed all the same for the off chance that someone did recognize him. This deliberation had ended with him decided just to go outside and go for a walk. The means for getting fresh air would be achieved and if he kept to himself, then he should be able to avoid drawing attention to himself. With the risks seeming as minimum as they did Zeke felt better about taking this quick walk and went to grab his jacket and headed out. Zeke stopped outside and looked up towards the sky and just stood there, enjoying the gentle breeze that was blowing. It was nice and allowed him to relax somewhat before setting off on his walk.

Not one to shy away from taking advantage of a situation, but knows when its time to run. ☉ Short Backstory: Life had never been anything that Zeke had any control of. His birth parents had dumped him in an orphanage once they realized that they couldn't bear the burden of having a kid to raise. He lived out those days in relative peace until he reached the ripe age of 16, where an accidental discovery of his powers had forced him to flee the orphanage that had been his home for years and seek out a home elsewhere. It was a short-lived ventured as word of his "incident" had reached some certain ears and Zeke soon found himself "adopted" and taken to his new home. The next three years for him can be easily equated to hell as what awaited him was a series of experiments and tests to fully draw out his powers. Out of the initial ten people, he was one of the few that managed to survive, changing the color of his eye as a permanent mark of this. His test typically consisted of grueling trials in hopes of drawing out more of his powers, power he struggled at first to properly control. They gave him a means of channeling it to prevent needless destruction fo the facility, but it only resulted in harsher treatment. Still, he endured and was rewarded one day when another freak accident caused by one of the other patients short-circuited the whole facility and amidst the ensuing chaos, Zeke was to find a way out and back to the outside. Since then he's always kept a watchful eye out, in case someone from the facility might've been watching him once again. ☉ Main Theme: Spoiler ☉ Battle Theme: Spoiler

With the crowd having fled soon after the cyclops had made its entrance, the plan to trip it lost its share of risks with them being the only ones in the arena now. Especially since Jehct was forcibly removed by the cyclops itself. "On it!" Kel answered before turning his full attention back to the cyclops before it did to him what it had so proudly done to Jecht. He moved out of the way to avoid the risked of being stepped on in time for Karina to have tossed the other end of some rope of him. He nodded at her request and gripped the part of the rope that he held. "Consider it done." It had already been shown that the two of them working together with their strength can pull off some impressive feats. Toppling a giant such as this would be the same as long as they worked together.
Even Kel, who had been keeping a close eye on Luther once it was known that he was Nequa's side, had been caught off guard when Karina's attack had struck nothing. It was unknown to him at what point Luther had gotten behind her, or how fast he had to have moved to have achieved that. It left a bud of concern when it came time to inevitably fight him, as well as whoever else, was on Nequa's side. "Next time we see him, he likely won't be letting us just walk away either." In the moment he had turned to look back to the fight, the others had appeared in a flash of light. Naturally, that was followed by a cyclops intruding on the final match. Maybe AJ was right and that this tournament was fishy, even if he had no reason to think so until literally a few moments ago. Jumping over the railing, not using his arms as that would lead to potential failure given they were only just starting to feel better. Landing on the ground in time to see Karina outright just deck Jecht in the face, he instead looked to Stratos saying "Congrats on making it to the finals by the way."
As the situation around them continued to escalate around them, AJ had provided some clarity that did less to ease him and more so put him on edge. He wasn't certain, but the 'Red Society' failed to ring any bells in his head, but the mere mentioning of the name Nequa had sent a multitude of warning bells throughout his body that had quickly got on guard for what was to come and a glare directed towards Luther. Talk of the supposed traitor only served to irritate him further as his fist tightened, yet he restrained himself from calling his keyblade. Kel irritation only grew knowing how right Beuce was regarding their chances. He'd only just gotten healed to the point in which where he could actually move his arms. What he could do now was nowhere near what he could to do normally. Karina eventually attacked and Luther's presumed 'friend' had attempted to defuse the situation. Regardless of that working on not, Kel had remained on in the event something else was tried.
Kel had definitely started feeling better after AJ's healing, more notably in his arms as they became much easier to move around. The healing had allowed him to relax his body so that despite him still sitting, he wouldn't experience any pain just by moving slightly. Karina's sudden hostility was odd as Kel had no idea who this guy was. He could guess based on her question about Lea that he was one of the ones she'd met while she was off on her own, but beyond that nothing. Faust, who properly introduced himself thus confirming that Kel had the right name in mind, approached him soon after. "I'm Kel and I actually don't know. I guess he did something to some of her other friends." He only knew of them and vaguely saw some of them during the last heartless horde they had to fight.
The moment Kel had gotten warped back to the waiting area, his legs had turned to jelly and he immediately collapsed onto his rear. He knew that his arms were in immense pain from all of Karina's attacks, but it had only just hit him how worn out his body was from that fight. He had just enough energy to look around and see who else was here too. AJ and Beuce were here, as was that guy he'd meant while in Monstro. Faust? Sounds about right. That meant that Karina and Stratos were the only ones left in the tournament in their group. Well, that was until Karina had ended up warped in here too, immediately blaming him for her loss. Which while fair, he looked up to her and said, "If it makes you feel any better, I probably wouldn't have done any better given the shape you left me in." By this point, his arms were still bruised as they just sat in his lap.
