One problem keeping them from leaving the world had been dealt with, but in its wake arose another issue in the limited time that they had. They had access to their gliders, but it was only limited to a minute meaning that they would have to be quick about it. Fortunately, Karina had an idea. She may not have been the best at cooperating with others, but she could definitely hold her own when it came down to it. "Count me in!" He replied before leaping off the ship and thankfully landing on Ignis's glider. Kel kinda had to as she had already gone off before Karina called out to him. Kel gathered his footing before feeling a new wave of strength course through his body as the power aura activated within him for the first time. He gave Karina a look to make sure that she was ready and she was quick to respond. Kel had the go-ahead and it was time to get this started. "One" "Two" "Three!" With both the combined strength of the two of them and the boost provided by the two power aura, their combined kick had sent the ship propelling forward in the direction it needed to be.
Kel rides the Giant Hawk (The attack Maui uses) to victory and attacks to 2 combos
Kel used combo twice Maui used Giant Hawk
Kel goes into Ice Aura used Vorpal Blitz on Tail 2 Maui used Giant Hawk on Tail 5
Kel used Fire Strike on Tail 1 Maui used Shark Bite on Tail 5
Kel attacked Tail 1 with FIst Bump and used a Phoenix Down on himself Maui attacked Tail 4 as a Giant Hawk
Kel summoned Maui and attacked Tail 3 with Vorpal Blitz Maui used Giant Hawk on Tail 4 No idea how much of any of this is done correctly
Instead of learning more about where they had crash-landed as Kel had wanted, they ended up being told about everything that B.E.N was up too which, with his spotty memory, he wasn't sure just how credible any of that was. He wasn't sure at what point, but at some point, he'd started tuning out everything until something about their comrades showing up. Karina had found Castur and somehow Silver along the way. The next events that followed were not something that Kel did not have a say in. He had only seen Silver once and didn't quite trust him if anything he was trusted a little bit better than the other pirates on board the ship, but not by much. So between the news of his betrayal and the revelation of the map, the only thing that actually stuck out was two of the destinations on the map. Olympus, the place they were all supposed to meet up at and Land of Dragon, one of the many places Nequa was at and thus a world of hurt was waiting for him. In that case, it came in the form of a bird. "Whoa." Kel was actually impressed by the sheer amount of gold and treasure that was before them. He may not have wanted to take any of it, but he couldn't deny that it was an impressive sight to behold, even with B.E.N's perplexing words.
Kel wasn't quite sure what Aux had gone through in the other worlds, but he couldn't help but let out an amused chuckled at his complaint. "I can't speak for those other times, but you did knock Jim out before we abandoned ship. So at least that you should've seen coming." Everything settled down so Kel turned towards B.E.N, better to get some answers now while they actually could. "So what can you tell us about where we crash-landed."
It still amazed Kel at the fact that Castur had gotten lost when they all were standing by each other, not moving, before dealing with Leo's pirate group. "Yeah, just don't get lost looking for him." He would've offered to help, but with Jim still punching Aux, he thought it'd be better if one of them were to stay behind and learn something from B.E.N about this place.
The headache known as Zulu had soon left and in his stead came a mechanic thing that was definitely more than 'a little nuts'. He watched as B.E.N explained where Jim and the others were after a handshake in which it almost felt like his arm would come outta its socket. Just to be sure Kel moved it around a bit to make sure that it was still in place. Through B.E.N's guidance, they arrived at the hideout where the first thing that occurred was Jims attempts at punching Aux. "Yeah, that figures."
Kel was dumbfounded for a multitude of reasons. The apparent feelings that Leo had for Anora, the cage that had just dropped from the sky and trapped Aux and the chains now restraining Karina. By this point, Kel had already called forth his own keyblade and got himself somewhat ready to deal with the oddity that was everything Leo had done so far. He didn't like the way Leo had turned to him, or brought up the achilies tendon. "Vaguely, a lot of what you said sorta just blurs together."
Well they found Zulu, which immediately proved to be a bad thing when he started speaking to them. "Trust me, I couldn't Doctor L even if I wanted to." And he did want to, but fortunately, the amount of stuff that they go through a daily basis was a good way to bury those memories. From that point onward Kel really tuned out most of what Zulu said right until he'd mentioned the love triangle between Anora, Noroz, and Kross. "Wait, darling love?" Now he may have been pretty oblivious to most things regarding romance that wasn't blatantly obvious and in that particular case, it was very obvious. Between's Noroz's immense distrust of everyone that got near her and Kross's determination to compete with that. After his whole spiel had finally come to an end, Kel took a step back and motioned right to Zulu. "Be my guest, both of you."
Well Kel definitely learned something new about Aux today, even if it wasn't something that he had any real curiosity towards learning about. "Good luck explaining to Jim that you knocked him out just to get him here." It was hard to imagine that anyone would be happy about learning about that from anyone. Still, he got back up on his feet as the decision was leaning towards them moving out to find the others. "Hopefully we'll find Castur along the way." 20/20 \o/
Kel wasn't expecting to have the topic turned onto him, especially not by Aux. "Not really. I'm not really well like at home for something like that." That and he was too focused, if not depressed, by that to actually try and think otherwise. Not much else really to say so he was glad that Karina dropped the same question on Aux and since he just answered, he chimed in on that as well. "It is your turn to share if we're all going around and doing this." 19/20
"Now should we go looking for him then?" It seemed that Karina had gotten everything out of that talk that she wanted and was back to the Castur and Leo issue. Both of which having their own share of problems, especially if the former had gone off to where Ignis took Farris and Jim. Speaking of those two, he was glad neither of them had woke up yet from what he could tell. It had still been pretty quiet outside of their conversation. 18/20
Wife of a sadist or slave of a father who from what he could infer from everything he's heard about him was a complete *******. Made him concerned about where her mother stood in all this. Probably didn't have much say as she was still a girl and nothing seemed to have changed regarding her home position. "I certainly remember why I offered my home to you as a place for you to stay now." For starters girls there actually did have a choice and weren't just expected to obey without question. It would be a nice change in pace provided she didn't pick a fight with everyone, well except for the bread dealer. That guy was a prick. "I can understand that." To a lesser degree though as with the exception of like five people, everyone home had a lessen opinion of him. Even if it wasn't just him being disliked, more disdain if anything. Long as that hung over him, he doubted he would make it far in the 'relationship' process as he had chosen to word it. 17/20
"It definitely sounds like you dodge a bullet in not marrying that guy." Power and status were one thing, but how you treated others typically was what kept from hating you. It didn't clearly wasn't that easy on Karina's homeworld with how military focused that they were then it would've been on, say, his homeworld. He did remember the time that time when a high ranking guild officer got basically excommunicated once all of their true actions had come to life and the uproar it had been. Kel did briefly consider how it would end if someone like that did try to tame her and taking into account what she'd just done there would probably be some bloodshed from both sides at a bare minimum. While he found the timing odd as they were currently waiting for either Castur to get back or Leo to show himself, it wasn't the oddest thing that they have done to kill time. At the very least there wasn't a certain witch a few feet away from them still mulling over their conditions for the fight for what felt like a couple of days. Comparatively, this was much better and they still had keyblades, not leaving them to improvise with the nearest sticks they could find. "Alright, then is there anything else you wanna know while we're having this talk?" 16/20
Suffice to say that Kel was caught off guard when he was suddenly asked how marriage worked on his home. He couldn't describe it as normal because his normal was still nor at all how things worked on her homeworld and he couldn't go too far in depth with it cause his own knowledge was pretty limited. "Well its, um, kinda what Aux said. After two people have gone through the proper relationship process and if they still have feelings for one another then they can take it another step forward and get married. That's how its always been back home...I think." Other than hoping that his explanation made sense to someone whose marriage had always been decided for them, it was possible things were that could've been different back when they had a monarchy, if so then he probably glanced over that detail when learning about it. He still only had a vague enough understanding of dating to know what it was and going straight to marriage likely would've gone over his head in some aspects. "What brings this up?" 15/20
"Then in that case." Kel went ahead and took himself a seat on the ground where he was standing. If Leo was to show up at some point then they could hear him when he started gloating or speaking. That had been how they heard Scroop who had to still be around somewhere, after all, lurking about. The talk about his home had reminded him of the necklace that he had gotten from his father. It had been tucked underneath his shirt since he started this journey and despite everything he's been through, it was surprisingly still in one piece which prompted a small sigh of relief. 14/20
