"well, lady luck tends to take a whole lot more than she gives and some people cant let go of those binding chains when they lose someone." Faust pondered in response to AJ as one of the people passing out flyers passed by him taking one of the sheets for himself. "They tend to lay quite a lot more on the line than some coin to get them back. heck i've even heard of people sailing into the nastiest storms back in my old homeworld, trying to get the same results not that they achieved them to my knowledge." Faust scratching his head as he pondered the writing on the flyer more. if someone could bring back the dead though it would be quite the sight to see. there wasn't anyone that Faust wante brought back but it wouldn't be too bad to have a chance to study such a thing or maybe have a get out of death free card form such a being. turning back to the aux and the others with a carefree smile on his face as he tucked the flyer into his vest " Oh to one other thing to consider AJ is that the barriers between worlds seem pretty lax at times so it's not to impossible that this Hades guy might have visited your world for a tick sometime in your world's history. Such a thing is something I've been thinking about since i started bouncing between worlds myself would explain some of the outlandish tales i grew up with myself." Faust stated pondering in response to AJ before turning to Aux and Ananta giving them a small bow as he said "Well aux if you or the others need me i'll be heading off to this tourny thing if you need me. The offer this Hades guy is giving seems like quite the sight to see so I'll be seeing you guys later"
After a few minutes of juggling on the old empty pot that he had found Faust had noticed that other members of this members the SOS had started to leave the ships they had traveled on to get to this new world. Aux was talking about the world that he had experienced after their brief stay in giant whale was quite something a world that had been made of treasure a bit of a shame that such a world is now lost to him but such is how the wind blows Faust thought to himself. As Faust was distracted by listing to Aux's brief story he didn't hear a slight crack resound form under his feet as he was turning to face Aux a section of the pot he was standing on collapsed in on it's self causing Faust to fall but first into the new hole of the pot wedging himself firmly in place. "Well might have to say I urned a break after that small little act" Faust said mostly to himself as he gave a few slight attempts to remove himself form the pot unsuccessfully while his shadow snickered at his predicament before Faust continued "It might not be as speculator as world you just went to Aux but our world was quite amusing and a little bit embarrassing for me. For a good chuck of our stay there we seemed to have reverted back into our selves years younger though. Then we went searching for the cause of our state of the time only to find it was some pirate or something. Then we flew off on his pirate ship after we fought him off for a bit ending up here after we had found one of those keyhole things had been already closed off. But this world is quite to the place to right? I mean just look at the scale of it." As Faust had recapped what had happened in their world his shadow had finally seemed to have enough of laughing at Faust and seemed to have firmly gripped top pot's shadow before pulling tit apart causing the pot Faust was in to shatter and released him the rest of the way to the ground.
As Faust found himself traveling once again on this same ship that peter pan had claimed after the old codfish had left behind his thoughts had drifted back to that generous showman that he had come across in the caves of that skull rock. till then magic had been merely something wild, instinctive, uncontrolled for the most part for him, granted his old master khan hadn't been one to pursue the arcane arts instead being one to hit fist hard and fast then maybe get a drink after if there was enough time before he found the next victim to stand between him and his drink. This Dr facilier had shown him not one new magic to crack open but two, though even Faust could see a problem in trying to replicate a being like shade given he had no starting point than this 'lousian' place he had mentioned. No Faust instead had picked the first magic the showman had preformed and had set about trying to recreate that novel deck he had seen with the help of shade using some thick paper and inks he had kept on his person. the task had taken him some time mostly as he hadn't seen all the cards in the doctors deck so mostly Faust had spent his time on this voyage coming up with what he had felt would make good symbols and designs on the cards. this magic seemed to use them as a medium anyway so the design probably didn't have to much purpose right? Faust had thought to himself even if they did i could always ask the doctor himself the next time he saw him. Just as Faust had put the finishing touches on his new 'magic' tool Faust had glanced back over the railing where had been leaning against on the main deck see that they had started to descend over a stunning metropolis that was next to a massive mountain. it seem to be of an older styled world if Faust had to guess like Atlantis place butt much more filled with life. not wanting to wait even a second more before immersing himself in the culture of this new world Faust gripped the railing of the floating ship he was on before mantling over the side of the ship focusing his magic on his feet as he cast one of his aero spells on himself. At the same time of his spell willing shadow shade to clear the dock where he was going to land of the few crates and pots that had been left unknowingly in his wake. upon almost hitting the ground his spell activated cushioning his landing with a slight gush of wind that picked up for a brief second in a momentary personal twister. As Faust had looked around the saw a few of this worlds native residents gazing at him in curiosity and given how this might be the world that the SOS said to meet up in he would have top wait anyway he decided to put on an impromptu version of his act. Taking quick stock of his surroundings he saw an empty cracked pot hat shade had barely moved out of his landing zone Faust hopped onto it while he pulled out a couple of collapsing palm sized balls from his belt and began to juggle while on his precarious perch earn a few claps and smiles from a few onlookers before they continued on with their days.

Feeling the foreign magic that had coated him since he first realized he was in this world Faust watched as the cave began to shrink slightly before his eyes before he realized that he seemed to have reverted back into his normal state. "I can't help but feel slightly cheated" Faust said mostly to himself as he glance over himself, "here i had hoped that it was a magic that had truly reverted one back reversing the clock as it were would have been helpful in the long run so many more sights I could have seen with a trick like that." giving a sigh as he looked over the others that seemed to have reverted back some of them seemed familiar now that he looked at them two of them he could of swore that they had met before in the different worlds he had been to with the SOS. The others he had gotten a glance of back in the giant whale. "You know, as much of a embarrassment it was to been reminded of the good old days with that trick of yours." Faust called out to hook as he summoned his keyblade while keeping a carefree stance as he continued as if he was talking to a friend "I did promise you a encore for that opening act on back on your ship if you tried something like this so.." as he was about to continue taking a step forward he had stepped on a loose rock that shifted under his weight causing him to lose his balance and fall onto his back on the floor. the rock clacked across the floor for a second before a cracking sound resounded out into the cavern as a stalactite in the cavern broke loose form the ceiling impaling the ground barely missing him as it stuck the empty space between his legs. Faust lightly rubbed the back of his head as he laid on the ground "Well I guess I'll get to it when I'm done laying down on the job huh? I have a feeling this performance is fated to really bring the house down huh?"

“you think ya fasta then me huh?” Faust questioned “Well then well we’ll have a test then huh. First one to find where this tunnel leads.” Faust stated back gesturing down the dimly lit cave “tha treasure has to be down there at the end right? Winner gets to keep the loot he finds” “a race huh not too bad of an idea.” Zidane said taking the offer into consideration before smirking slightly at Faust replying back with “too bad you won’t be able to get even a glimpse of the treasure till long after I found it.” “Maybe tha might be the case if ya were as fast as yer mouth” Faust answered back “ well go on three got it” Faust stated looking over at Zidane getting an nod form him before he began counting down “one tw..” Before Faust could count two out loud Zidane was rushing ahead calling out “three!” as he ran down the darkened tunnel they were in. giving a lit curse Faust after staring dumbly for a second before looking down at his new shadowy companion asking lightly “Ready partner?” getting a slight nod and tooth=y grin form shade as he started to chase after Zidane trying to make up the distance that Zidane had put between them. Quickly he began to form an Aeroga spell around his body winds flowing around his body as he sped after Zidane. Catching up in no time at all just before the spell faded away from Faust.
“Huh what happened?” Zidane groaned out blearily shaking off whatever effects had put him under. Shade reformed into a silhouette of Faust once again still laughing at the turn of events. Zidane propping himself up on one of the stone walls. After quickly picking a story tell the kid without having to reveal meeting and deal he had with doctor Facilier faust answer back with “ya put so much talk into how ya outclassed me in speed thought I would give ya metal a little test. Was surprised in how ya collapsed with that little tap I gave.” Smriking at Zidane outwardly Faust contemplated on why the doc wanted to keep this meeting in the dark from the others for how much of a showman the man presented himself as. Even Faust had to admit the man was all kinds of shady but for now Faust would respect the mans wishes. I wasn’t like Faust had made any deal to keep it quite just that he was asked to not mouth off about it, so if anyone asked him out right he would talk but till then he would keep this quite. What harm could a little secret have anyway it’s not like the others were airing all their dirty Landry with him so why should he. “ What you just caught me by surprise in a fair fight when I was ready I would totally beat you” Ziadane challenged back looking straight at Faust as he did so. 20/20
As the doctor left Faust, his shadow and his still unconscious partner Zidane alone in the dimly lit cave Fuast turned to his new shadowy friend sighing out " well i guess we'll have to wait for sleeping beauty here to wake up till we move on." he leaned back taking a seat on a large rock that sat on one side of the tunnel as he stared at the shadow "Well that's quite the smile you had friend. hope ya aint thinking of turning on me, i don't mind giving ya the same freedom i expect for myself as long as we work together and not against ya here?" the shadow nodding along with him. when Faust's gaze shifted away to glance for a second to take an another glance to check if Zidane was still out for the count did his shadow's form shifted to a more sinister grin creeping up on Faust a shadow chain swing lightly form his hand. A flash of light halting the twitchy movements of the shadow before it jumped back slightly as Faust was coated in a rolling current of arcing electricity that faded as fast as it appeared "Well looks that is where i have to reiterate myself Shade. We won't tolerate any chains that hold us down, not even each other. " Faust growled out in a low voice glaring at the shadow he had decided to refer to as shade. Shade and Faust glaring at each other a few seconds before Shade relented taking a stage bow as formed back into Faust's shadow for the time being chain breaking apart into motes of shadow that faded into the dime light a wide slightly wicked grin on his face seeming to chuckle at the turn of events. Faust giving out a sigh as he guessed this wouldn't be the last time he and shade had this kind of a conversation in their time together. giving a quite sigh as he took out his worn coin as he lightly flipped it in his hands "We're just two sides a coin shade never forget that. I certainly won't" give his back a light stretch Faust pocketed his coin his carefree smile juxtaposed Shade's wicked grin as Faust replied more to himself than shade "we still have many more sights to see after all. so guess its time to wake sleeping beauty up huh?" shade nodding before snaking out a tendril like arm latching onto the shadow of Zidane shaking it causing Zidane to shake slightly as well waking him up. 19/20
As Faust's shadow began to diverge it's movement with his own a wide smile began to form on his face. the shadow taking similar observing actions but noticeably different This day was getting better and better as it went by for Faust, firstly this mysterious curse that had effected the group and now his own shadow had gain some semblance of intelligence. turning back to the Failicer "Have to admit doc this is quite the sight that you gave me." Faust replied awe spoken by the sight before him "So he is me huh? kinda shocking to see a face this handsome myself" giving a slight pun that gave him and his shadowy twin a slight chuckle pausing their examination of each other before "You and your friends on the other side don't disappoint. i'll have to keep ya in mind if i need a house call doc". Faust and his shadow nodding at each other before deciding on an handshake between the two of them. 18/20
Looking over the necklace that the doctor presented before him it was a strange shape that he had never before just like that card trick. If the doctor was telling the truth then he could show him even more kinds of magic than he had even seen before. that was certainly tipping the scales in the doctors favor in Faust's opinion. "Can't say i have doc," Faust answered back with a shrug "so what is this charm of yours and what dose it have to do with those Friends of yours? you never gave the price though have to say I'm a sucker when it is for a new magic trick" 17/20
Looking the man up and down for a second the Faust had to admit the man might have some touch in the mystic arts for him to accurately guess so much about him with the use of those cards he had. he hadn't seen anything like those back home. he couldn't help but think that maybe there was something worth listening to from this man. Still there was always a chain that held everything to something else there had to be some kind of catch to whatever this Doctor Facilier was offering it only mattered if it outweighed the chain in the end. "Quite the little show you have there doc." Faust replied genuinely amazed giving a slow clap to the man and continuing with a slight shrug "Ya got me pegged good. ya know what i want and that divination of yours got my interest. So lets just cut to the chase, what kinda help are ya offering and whats the price? we all know there's no such thing as a free ship." 16/20
Taking the small slip of paper in his hand looking it over for a moment. He had seen fortune tellers back in his own home world form time to time but this man had a different kind of air to him then them than him. His get up though would differently fit right in though Faust thought as he looked over both sides of the card. "Well Doctor, ya found me" taking as slight stage bow as he did so holding his sliver and gold coin in his left hand before tossing it into the other where he caught it using some slight of hand making it appear as it had split into two gold and two sliver coins held between each of his fingers. "Faust, the traveling magician. I'm afraid to say i don't have anything as fancy as your cards. now what cha want with me magic man" looking the doctor straight in the eye as he did so. 15/20
“Ya think ya are gonna beat me huh? Don’t make me laugh” Faust shot back halting slightly to get into the boy’s face thier heads lilumiunated by a pair of natrual spotlights made form small tunnels that burrowed throught the ceiling “What'cha think is gonna happen is entirety different then how its gonna play out” “really now, you can spark all you want sparky.” Zidane remarked back butting heads with faust as he did so “But I’ll take you down before you even know what hit you. I might not understand half the stuff that comes out of your mouth but I don’t need to take ya down” 14/20
“Ya ya ya, enough about me for now.” Faust shot back as to find out about his new partner that he was tuck with till they found this treasure. It wasn’t that interesting if they only talked about him “What about ya? that pan boosted about ya being the best one in a brawl with those baldes of yours.” “Yeah im the best fighter here of the lost boys as you can clearly tell bey a glance no doubt” Zidane struck a pose with his swords readied as it fight an enemy at any moment as to prove a point “man I cant wait till we find this treasure to gold jewels in it will only be made better when I wipe the floor with you afterwards.” 13/20
“Ya could probably guess” Faust shot back off handedly. After giving Zidane a few seconds to think over an answer before he saw the kid’s face deep in thought. He decided to cut to chase and recite the main ground rule khan had given him imitating the man’s gruff drunken slur quite poorly as he did so.. “Any kinda strong drink before an lesson and fine wine or ale before I’ll teach ya a technique of mine” coughing slightly as the strain took to try wasn’t small given his higher pitch than usual voce “ it wasn’t hard really to get what he asked for there was a ton of the stuff down at the dock no one noticed if I skimmed a bottle or two out of a crate of them” “what really? The more we talk the more I’m starting to like ya” Zidane replied back boasting slightly as he did so “ You’re not as great as me but you have some good points” 12/20
“old man, huh.” Zidane questioned as they walked along the winding tunnel inside of “This guy good in fight? or was just good at making those sparks” “he could hold his own in scrape if that’s what your asking” Faust replied back thinking on the days he spent tranning under his master khan. “ well at least when drinking booze like a fish dose water. Rarely saw him sober, the old coot had me running out and getting him what called a ‘lesson fee’ before each time we sparred or trained” “lesson fee?” Zidane asked “what did the guy ask for?” 11/20
he started to flip a small gold and sliver coin. “it was only really by chance that I found my drive in magic” small sparks dancing along his arms as if to demonstrate a point “to really get out there and see the sights worth seeing ya know. Just stumbled across some passing magician one day he wasn’t to good of one when I look back on it now. But just seeing him preform just made something click.” As he continued on the coin that he was tossing was coated in electrical energy. It froze in the airspining slightly as jolting archs danced across the surface. “Hell I wound’t have even found the old man if wasn’t for her help.” 10/20
