Seeing Rourke transform into some sort of glowing rock monster it seems that things were going down. Summoning his keyblade into his right hand Faust stood up the grin on his face widening at the prospective fight before him. He was face to face with some unknown magic that was possibly sentient. It was a sight that most would not even dream of seeing in their life time. He quickly traced the path of a bolt of lighting with his empty right hand into it's intended target of the no longer human Rourke. In a split second of waiting for the magic to release and follow along with the intended path into his foe Faust's mind drifted back to the other sentient magical being that he encountered not to long ago the large snow golem marshmallow. In a flash Faust's magic surged more than intended bringing forth not only the desired outcome of a lance of lighting to strike Rourke but the formation of marshmallow in this cave. Standing tall towering over Faust as he stood next to him easily dwarfing him in size as he let out a deafening frosty roar.

Faust began to chuckle at Ananta's attempt of a pun as he sat up form the spot where he was laying on his back. "You know Iggy, her attempt wasn't too bad for a Faust try. Hahaha" Faust replied back with a laugh "Ya know for someone who slings flames around like you do, you would think that they would have a more warm n' bright view on the finer things in life like the art of puns. Though getting back to the task at hand It can't be to hard to find Rourke ya know it's not like he has any real experience with magic. So he should ya know not just turn invisible or teleport out of here." 5/30
As Faust impacted on the rough stone floor at the base of the hole that they went down. He could definitely feel that it would bruise form the low dull ache the radiated form his spine. Still he did not let his smile falter looking up at Ignis from his prone position on his back laughing as she started to poke at him. "You know maybe it's just because it's that I keep falling for you" Fuast replied back snickering at his own pun "Besides I've never been one for book learning i prefer going out and seeing things and places for myself ya know." 4/30

Seeing as they were probably on a tight schedule with Rouke planing to most likely hightail it and run with the heart and Kida. just the fact that Rouke was willing to destroy such a interesting place alone was to enough for Faust to stand against him there was not any way to back down now that the king asked them to help save Kida and the heart. Following after Ignis as she jumped in the same hole Rouke had taken to where the heart must be. As he neared the hole Faust turned back around standing in the ankle deep water saying to the group "Come on guys, we have a city to save!" Just As Faust turned back to follow Ignis down the hole he tripped on something hidden just below the waters edge falling in after ignis his smiling never changing laughing into the hole. 3/30

Turning back to the group as they began to follow the guard they were able to turn in their gallant quest to stop Rourke. Resting his hands behind his head as he walked along with the group whistling a light-hearted tune he said "Don't worry guys. I'm sure this will be easy. we will just get to the heart of the matter and stop Rouke and then boom we save the day." 2/30
Following Castur lead on this for the time being raising his hands up as well after releasing his hold on his Keyblade as it began to disappear. seeing how the guard didn't just open fire on Castar immediately after seeing them enforced the carefree smile on Faust's face. This guy even if he did attack them was already differentiating form all of the other goons, not too interesting but unique form his compatriots. "Well, I would also like to point out that we didn't start this tussle either if that helps." Faust said weakly scratching that back of his head with his left hand trying to appeal to the guard he continued "I mean clearly even you can see the devastation that would occur these nice natives here if their heart wazzit was stolen." 1/30

As Faust saw the group of Rourke's men that Ananta took down by squishing them under the weight of multiple gravitates. Their screams as their very bones being crushed into powder by the magic being the main reason for him to glance over in that direction. the sight of the person that was most adamant of only using non lethal force on these grunts confused Faust slightly. He had no real care for them but he couldn't understand this great moral shift of hers. Giving a light shrug he turned his attention back to the dwindling group of soldiers before him. Seeing a group of the grunts charging forwards past the fallen bodies of their comrades. Holding out his empty right hand his towards the oncoming guards he briefly channeled his magic to his before sending out a blast of icey magic in the form of a Blizzaga. The icy crystals impacting into the ground around the oncoming grunts creating a large thick sheet of ice below their feet. They halted a moment before one of them broke out chuckling as his compatriots raised their guns at Faust "looks like it's your unlucky day kid" he called out before a loud crack resounded out behind him. the sheet of ice had frozen into the base of a large stone pillar on the edge of the brawl cracking and ruining the load barring stone at its base. The large stone pillar now toppling forward now due to it's ruined base. onto the group the grunt glanced behind him at the large shadow the falling pillar cast. he was barely able to get out "Scatte..!" before he found himself pinned and trapped under the large stones making up the pillar. shards of broken and razor sharp ice being thrown to each side of the pillar due to the weight of the impact blinding the other four grunts around him crippling them as they fell to the ground grasping at their eyes. "Sorry, lady luck has always been a fickle mistress, you can never be sure who she is going to favor" Faust replied turning away form the now downed formation of grunts as they didn't seem like they would be rejoining the fight any time soon. words 375 exp:75 Soldiers Defeated: 5 14/50 Remaining
Seeing as the party seems to have been rudely interrupted by the expedition leader Rouke playing his hand, kidnapping Milo and Kida to claim the heart of Atlantis, Faust sprung into action. It was people like Rouke that drove Faust to search out these new and strange worlds, if he didn't all of them would be made boring and dull, caged for boring reasons like profit or power, long before he saw even a fraction of them. Giving out a long sigh out at the armed group around them not killing seemed like a hassle that they couldn't really afford but maybe one of these grunts following Rouke like dogs would create or do something interesting one day. A smile covering his face once again as he saw a group of five of grunts level their rifles at him in the brawl happening around them he summoned his keyblade into his left hand as he called out "Sorry Volts, seems like your luck ran out!" Waving with his right hand as he traced the arcing line of a thunder strike racing down splitting the sky striking one of the grunts with his mind while letting lose a thundaga simultaneously. The mass of static lasted only for a second while it followed Faust's guided path. As the bolt connected the grunt's limbs tightened his arm spasming to the right turning his gun on his allies. His fingers contracted due to the charge pulling the trigger letting lose a volley of bullets into man formation next to him tearing into his arms causing him to yell out in pain his rifle flew form his grip. the grunt next to the second one taking rifle to face knocking him out while spinning him clockwise as he hit the floor. this sent the hail of bullets meant for Faust into the legs of his other allies. Each of the six grunts falling because of the efforts of the last and legs as if a domino fell knocking another leaving Faust untouched. Looking over his handy work giving a glance to check and see that they were a little singed or had a few extra holes in them, they were alive and kicking. turning back towards the battle Faust was barely able catch stock of a rifle heading straight for his face with his keybalde before shoving grunt back and readied himself for the next group of grunts.

When Kida said that she had something to show them Faust's face lit up. if there was somewhere they had to go to answer a unsolved question that was a dead ringer to something worth seeing. He did not know anything about this SOS whatever she was talking about. he hadn't ever heard of these sentinels before in his travels, though he hadn't been seeing the amount of keyblade wielders in one place before either in his travels till the last world he was in. quite frankly this SOS thing should of been something his old drunk of a master went over before he wandered off to who knows where. the name was kinda catchy though he would have to remember it for later. looking over at their capture that seemed determined to follow them wherever they went rubbing the back of his head Faust replied in a carefree manner "Well, I don't mind if you join us as long as we don't have to be on guard all the time around you, haha." Faust laughed at his own little pun before extending his hand towards their former captor.

Faust was busy taking in the different sites of the city before them as Kida began to ask them and the scholar of the ‘exploration’ group, Milo he believed was his name. Rubbing his wrists where his handcuffs rested moments before he began to think over a response as Ignis tried to rile one of their captures that had stayed behind. She phrased her questions a little strangely, she didn’t just ask what the surface was like but questioned about other “worlds”. People don’t tend to ask that question unless they knew of the concept of other worlds than their own, which was kinda rare in Faust’s experience. There was two ways to answer her question if he wanted to given that he could just let the others Andrew for him. That wouldn’t be that interesting though so he could either dance around the issue like that magic user Ananta or he could give them a bit more of a actual answer. Looking over at kida Faust just gave his carefree smile as he answered in a causal manner “Personally, where I’m from its just a bunch of little isles. Nothing too interesting about them in my opinion, their nothing compared to this place. I’d greatly appreciate if you wouldn’t mind showing us around. I’ve been told that I make quite the captive audience before.” Faust finished chuckling as he heard Ananta began to ask their remaining capture something in response to his question.
Faust was impressed at the sight before him as he sat in the truck with the other captives. At first he thought that they had exited whatever cave system they were in at first with how well lit the area was till on closer inspection he could make out the faint traces of the cave walls on the other side of the cave. The city that rested out past the cliff that they found themselves on was a breathtaking site. If that was this Atlantis place, then he couldn't wait for an opportunity to slip away and explore it a bit. Seeing as Ignis was already asking if this was going to be the end of their role as a captives for this "expedition" He thought it best to sit back and rest while he could. "It's not like we have any real place to run to." Faust added in "Besides it might look better for you guys not to arrive hauling a couple of unarmed civilians in chains when your meeting the locals for the first time" giving his handcuffs a slight rattle.
As Faust was cuffed by the masked members of the armed 'exploration' group that he found himself appearing among he gave no real resistance. Even with the rough way his captors handled him as they restrained him was not to bad in his opinion. sure there was a shoved here or there as they manhandled him but at least he wasn't going to be too harmed currently. He was particularity glad that they were ushered into the back of one of the trucks in the convoy instead of having to keep pace on foot while they were restrained. As he sat there in the back of the truck he could only really sit there with a smile on his face as he waited. wherever this Rourke character and his men where going was holding something interesting to see and given that he cut off that scholar they had with them only made Faust want to find out more about this mysterious thing. Turning to one of armed men siting next to him Faust asked " So, what are you going to do with your cuts, my well armed friends?" Guessing that with how many men and equipment there was that the 'Atla' thing they were after was something very valuable.
i have beat the dark lord and wish to claim my prize
Seeing as Ignis's only real goal at the moment was to try and antagonize the armed militant group before them and Faust found that usually that would lead to some pretty bad situations down the line. He decided that it would probably be best to approach to introduce himself in a less hostile answer especially since this 'Atl..' whatsit sounded like a pretty interesting sight to see. they seemed to have lowered their weapons at he moment but he could see they were just a hair's breath form filling them with holes. Luck might have got him out of more than his fair share of troubles and holes, and into them, in the past but the shear number of armed combatants made him hesitant to ante up against these odds. Faust still soaked and dripping wet, gave a slight bow form his seated position at the edge of the shore saying "Well, I'm Faust, a traveling preforming magician." for my As he introduced himself coming out the bow he flicked his wrist in what should of been a practiced manner of retrieving a deck of playing cards he kept in his sleeves. instead of a pristine deck being throw into his hands, what came out of his sleeves was a mess of wet cards and a small crab that latched one of it's tiny claws on to his nose. "Hahaha, sorry to give a large crowd like this such a washed up performance. " Faust laughed not seeming to mind the crustacean hanging off of him as he continued pointing to Ignis "seems like me and my friend here got caught in quite the undertow. Last thing I can remember is being dragged down by a really powerful current it must be by some luck that we came out as well as we did."
When Faust awoke he found himself completely submerged in water. The last thing he had remembered from before he woke up was setting down next to the main mast of the ship to catch a quick little nap in under the bright summer sun with the nice cool brazes that he found flowed over these strange seas. He might have smelled the sent of a storm brewing in the distance form his slumber or it might have been just a part of his dreams. The only thing he knew was for sure was that he was on the ship when he went to sleep and now he found himself completely encased in a raging current of water dragging him along onto the next chapter of his life. Figuring it would be best for him to just let lady luck guide him once again he made no real attempt of fighting his way to the surface instead just letting it drag him deeper into a blinding light. It was slightly strange way for him to find himself in a new place as he had found but nothing to strange as times he had found himself getting into a new place as he found himself traveling into strange new lands in all strange manner of ways from waking up in crates to finding himself in a prison cell in the past so this wasn't to bad of a way for him to travel. deciding now was the time to surface as the currents had died down Faust began to try and get his barrings. The only point of reference he had was a soft drifting light so he Followed that breaking the surface of a pool in a dimly lit cavern. Seeing a group of armed group of militaristic men gathered on the shore he could only whisper to himself "Huh, is that a race of mole people? neat" as he began to swim towards them and the shore they stood on.
it only took Faust a split second before he return the handshake offered to him. He felt a slight chill through his gloved hand giving Beuce his usual carefree smile as he replied "Oh, I really don't mind Helping you out. In fact I was going to ask to join you guys anyway." He paused for a bit in his reply though not quite understanding what Beuce meant by 'Central Haven'. Rubbing the back of his head he continued as he began to walk up the plank to the deck of the ship "Don't what a Central Haven is but as long as there are new sights to see and things to experiences to be had with you guys can count on me."
