With his slash having managed to destroy a large swath of heartless, Stratos now had an opening to run through to take get away from this horde. With blade in hand, the boy began to make his way through this opening, not paying much mind to the things behind him. It would do him no good to try and destroy every last heartless that was chasing him, and instead slowly destroy the ones in front to systematically lower their numbers. Perhaps the others would then try to destroy the ones behind him, and through their combined efforts they'd be able to get through this swarm of heartless with no problem. Of course, in front of him to start with was two of those neo shadow creatures that he had run into before. While he was fast enough to get away from the swarm behind him, regular shadows were far slower in comparison to their more matured versions. As such, he couldn't just run past them and expect to continue outrunning them. More to the point, he couldn't actually just kill them in an instant either, as they had proven to be more difficult to actually land a blow on then their smaller counterparts. Add to the fact that while in this state of his he couldn't actually use any of his magical abilities and taking on these shadows would be a bit of an effort. Regardless, he began to ran at them, and the Neo Shadows in turn charged at him. The first of the Neo Shadows seemed to flop down to the ground, and began spinning at him. Stratos was unsure of what was looking at, but the heartless seemed to be more like a wheel of raw slashing power that he wanted to not deal with at all. And so, as the spinning heartless moved towards him, Stratos high jumped over the heartless. Bringing his blade up into a guard, he then blocked the next attack as another of the Neo Shadows jumped into the air. Bringing its claw down against Stratos's blade, both the keyblade master and the neo shadow were brought back down to the ground. Landing on his feat, Stratos saw the Neo Shadow that was behind him begin to spin back around as the other one took its predatory stance looked ready to lunge at him once again. Knowing that he'd be in trouble if he attempted to jump over the one behind him again, he instead just decided to deal with normally. In an instant, he disappeared from where was standing, appearing behind the spinning neo shadow. A flood of cherry blossoms shortly followed, flowing in that direction as a large slash mark appeared across the neo shadows. Swinging his blade against the air, the slashes soon grew in size as the two neo shadows were instantly dispatched of. Continuing to move his way through the heartless, he saw it fit to just take the little ones out as he passed by them. Whenever a stray shadow would leap at him, the boy would merely swat it away with his keyblade longs sword, causing it to be destroyed in a single instant. One after the other, he continued to make his way through the horde of shadows, feeling that he was making his way through their with graceful ease. After managing to cut another large number into their numbers, Stratos ended up bumping into a much more solid form. Turning around to face it, he saw that it actually just belonged to Hikaru, and was instantly relieved that the heartless hadn't suddenly learned how to wield a keyblade. As he complimented Stratos on his work so far, the boy said, "well, you know. This kind of stuff comes with the job, and I like making sure I do my job well," he joked back at Hikaru. "Yeah, the extra magic power would be nice. Especially because," he motioned to his soldier job form.

Gripping his keyblade tighter, the boy was ready to make another run at the shadow swarm that was attacking Kaida, but it had appeared that he had managed to get himself into a bit of a pickle himself. Of course, among the ten thousand heartless they were supposed to fight, it only made sense that the swarm Kaida had gathered was only a small fraction of it. Starting at another horde of shadows, they began to charge at him as well, seeming to try and sandwich him between themselves and the swarm that Kaida was dealing with. Try to stay light on his feet, the boy began to run to the side to try and avoid the horde's advance it didn't seem to do much as the horde started to collapse on him from that side as well. Skidding to a halt, the boy realized he was beginning to be surrounded, and perhaps jumping head first into a horde was not the most practical or bright ideas. Yet still, he was here, and there was very little he could've done about it regardless, so he resolved that there was only one path that he could take. If darkness surrounded you at every path, and there was no way for you to see the way out, you merely had to make one yourself. Taking another deep breath, the boy's body began to crackle with a red lightning erupting from his chest. Soon being entirely engulfed by it, the lightning soon subsided, revealing a different looking Stratos from underneath it. His jacket had turned a red color, with a clear emblem in the shape of a sword emblazoned across its back. His hands had to black metal half gauntlets on them, with green gems on the center of the back of his palm. His keyblade had changed shape as well, the teeth of the key now being gone entirely and the shaft becoming more sharp and angular. At a closer look, his weapon now resembled more a long sword then it did his usual weapon. Glowing with a red aura, the boy let out another deep breath, and in that instant, the aura washed over his other team members, granting them what felt like a boost to their physical strength. The boy had never used this form before, and in fact he had always thought it was out of his reach. Yet, since he had become a master, though it was a short time, certain things began to become more intuitive to him. He figured out how to bring the most out of him, and didn't seem to care for any limits he had previously put on himself. With the only thing to base it off of being both Karina and Beuce using this kind of power, Stratos wasn't quite sure if he could match up to the raw power behind it, but he could certainly mimic it. With his long sword keyblade, the boy charged forward with swift speed rushing towards the heartless. With a single cut nothing seemed to happen at first, only for the keyblade master to then immediately strike with yet another swing of it. As he did, a large X formed in the air that soon exploded with raw power, forcing the shadow heartless away. The heartless were destroyed in an instant, unable to take the raw force of the attack, and dissipated back into the strands of shadow they were made of. Stratos started to feel a sense of pride roll through him as he had managed to execute a technique that relied on nothing more than strength. With that pride, the boy knew that he'd be able to cut through the heartless even more easily than he had been before, and started to run headfirst into the mob.

Having no intention of slowing down against these heartless, Stratos ran forward towards more of the heartless. With blade in hand, the boy began to make his move towards a large collection of other shadows, though, slowed down a bit as he realized that these were seemed to be a lot different than normal. They were definitely in the same vein as a regular shadow heartless, but that was only in general body shape. The heartless itself seemed to be far taller and gaunt then the regular shadow heartless, and the antenna atop its head were definitely longer. Staring at the strange creature, it looked back at him as well, a feral look in its golden beady eyes as it crouched into a predatory stance, seemingly ready to pounce. Spinning his keyblade around, with a Strike Raid, Stratos tossed his keyblade towards the neo shadow, as he would now call them. Rather than dodging in any physically possible way, though, the Neo shadow merely melded into the ground underneath it. "Right, they do that..." Stratos was partially surprised at this, having forgotten what shadows actually did beyond just clawing at you. The neo shadow crawled through the ground at great speeds, and though its long body seemed to look awkward moving across ground while being apart of it, the speed at which it did did not give Stratos any bit of ease. Instead, summoning his keyblade back to his side, the boy dodge rolled out of the way as the Neo Shadow had finally made its way up to him. Emerging out of the ground, the heartless had leaped into the air and attempted to claw the boy. Thankfully, he had managed to dodge out of the way in time and only left with the feeling of wind rushing against him as he did. With the heartless now hanging in the air, beginning its descent towards the ground, Stratos figured this way the best time to bring the neo shadow down if there were any. Pointing his keyblade up towards the creature he said, "Thunder bell!" A large collection of lightning gathered at the tip of his blade, forming into compact orb of electricity. The crackling ball of magical lightning soon reached its full mass as Stratos fired it at the airborne Neo Shadow. With a resounding "bong" noise as the bell struck the heartless, the Neo Shadow was soon engulfed in lightning and was destroyed instantly against the attack. With the attack resolved, he heard Kaida compliment him, turning to face her as she seemed to perform a rather flashy dodge herself. "You're not looking so bad either," he called back to her. He then noticed as she asked about shadow bowling, seeing the large swarm of shadow heartless that were following after her. With a small smirk on his face he said, "yeah, I wouldn't mind joining in on this," the boy began to make his way towards her. Running in an arc opposite of hers, so as to cut her off, Stratos ended managing to get in front of Kaida and the swarm that was following her. Spinning his blade he said, "I think you could use a little hand with those." With a crackle of yellow lightning over his body, his chest releasing a similar glow, the boy took a deep breath as he moved forward. Rushing past Kaida, with great speed the boy unleashed a flurry of slashes against the heartless mob as he ran opposite the direction of them. With his Hunter's Rush limit, he had managed to cut a large swath in their numbers, before appearing at the end of the line with said line still going after Kaida.

The first of Aeira's strikes had managed to hit true, causing the Nequabot to buckle underneath the force of her fist, and with the second she managed to slam it straight into the skull of the robot. With great force, the metal head buckled under the force of the girl's swing and was removed from the body's neck. Once the attack finished, the robot fell to the ground, unmoving. With one down, Aeira turned her attention towards another of the robots and it in turn seemed to take notice of her. In the midst of recovering from her last attack, she was unable to avoid the lightning that the Nequabot fired at her, however, the attack didn't seem to do much. Sure, Aeira had felt the pain of the attack course through her as the mage it belonged to was no slouch, yet her body didn't seem to show any signs of injury. Instead, the girl took off at great speeds towards the robot, ducking under a blast of ice directed at her and closing the distance between the two in an instant. With a swift stomp, Aeira pinned down one of the shins of the Nequabot and followed with another uppercut. As the powerful punch struck the jaw of her opponent, the robots body was forced in two different directions with both its head and leg being broken off of the body at once. Nequabots Remaining: 7/10
Cutting through the first swath of heartless, he looked around the horde of shadows that seemed to be backing away from him. Stepping forward, keyblade at his side, the heartless instinctively continued to back away from him, only to eventually halt. As he continued walking at them, the halting horde of shadows began to charge at him, to which the boy merely twirled his keyblade around in order to stop them. Of course, the mere flourish of his weapon didn't seem to do much of anything and as the heartless pounced on the boy, he seemed to be suddenly swallowed in a dome of shadow and claw. The yellow eyes of the shadows were no longer visible with how tightly packed they had dived together onto the boy, trying to scratch, maim and devour the boy; both body and heart. However, the swarm didn't seem to be getting any further in pressing down on him, and a single word could he heard. A single word uttered from within the army of shadows. "Faith." Four pillars of light erupted out from the dome, piercing through it. As the pillars of light had come into being, just their existence had managed to slay a few of the heartless, forcing them back into their wispy and shadowy forms. The other heartless then recoiled, repulsed by the towering light that the keyblade master had summoned, and trying to get away from them. As they did, Stratos didn't seem to be any bit injured from the attack he had recieved and merely stood there with a calm expression on his face. Spinning his keyblade some more, the pillars of light ended up combining into one large mass. With a simple swing, Stratos sent the pillar out to dispatch of another swath of heartless in a single attack. However, the pillar was stopped in its tracks a blade appeared out of nowhere, forcing its way against the attack. Pushing back, with what appeared to be a mighty effort, the sword had managed to force its way through the faith created pillar, splitting it in half. Dissipating the attack, Stratos looked to see that the blade belonged to a heartless that also had a humanoid shape. With a sharp tail and vaguely feather wings, the heartless also seemed to have a hole in its chest as well in the shape of a heart. "Well, you're new." Straots remarked at the sword wielding heartless. The heartless, however, did not seem to be in the mood to exchange pleasantries, and instead dove forward towards Stratos. With blade in hand, Stratos parried the fist of the heartless's attacks. He then immdiately went to follow up against the attack, and with a quick slash had managed to strike one of the wings the heartless. With it breaking apart and fading into darkness, the heartless's flight seemed to be impeded as it got down to the ground on its feet. Raising up its blade to try and attack him again, Stratos responded with an attack of his own. In a burst of speed, Stratos dashed forward towards the new heartless. His blade had managed to cleave through the side of the heartless, causing it to be cleaved in twain. Not even having time to lower its sword, the heartless's body split apart as it fell to the ground and vanished into the darkness around. Looking around, Stratos saw that there were quite a few other of these strange heartless, and Aislinn seemed to have been doing a fine job in handling them herself. Thinking the girl was plenty strong enough to the point that she could probably handle that section herself, Stratos instead moved on to a different section.

Walking forward, getting ready to leave, he was stopped as Hikaru seemed to have something to give to the rest of the group. Looking at him, Stratos was surprised as the other keyblade master gave all of his fellow friends rings. Looking at it, Stratos was a bit amazed at the accessory. As Hikaru had thanked them all for their service thus far as being a member of the SOS, and for helping him out through the whole thing. A smile forming across his face, Stratos put the ring on his index finger, giving a thumbs up to the man. "Thanks, really, Hikaru. These are awesome. And it makes us like a real team now, right? I just hope you got one for yourself too." Joking about it towards Hikaru he then looked towards everyone else saying, "well, like I said, these make us like a real team now, right? I didn't know any of you before this whole kind of keyblade thing happened, but now I don't think I can imagine a time without you all. We've all come this far, met so many people, and fought so many battles. Sure, it wasn't all ups and being cast into darkness wasn't exactly fun. But I'm glad, that if there was any group that I had to go through that with, it was you all. So, like a team, who's ready to go show the worlds what Masters are made of, and show No Heart we haven't stayed down after being kicked around?" Clapping his hands together, the boy began to take a step forward, walking into the portal and leaving Shibuya behind him. Making his way out he was greeted by a ghastly sight. Though there was a set of islands in the distance, the one that he was certain Megumi had told them to go to, the actual path barely seemed to exist at all. It was like it was like they were merely walking around on a sea of darkness with a barely existing path leading their way. The island itself too did not seem to be in the best of shapes. Broken, shattered, like part of it was just torn away and lost. Stratos wondered if this was the fate of every world that fell to darkness, and it only furthered his resolve to make sure that no other worlds would follow. With a single treehouse illuminated, like a beacon in this baron dark wasteland guiding them, it seemed pretty obvious where the group was supposed to go. However, their path was cut short as another, unfamiliar looking person seemed to be standing in their path. While Stratos had no idea who he was, the man himself seemed to be in a foul mood and a dark and twisting aura seemed to accompany him. As Aux seemed to know just who this man was, Stratos was fearing things were going from bad to worse as he was wondering if Aux was merely going to regress back to being their opponent again. Worse yet the man, Marshall Hughes as his name was, seemed to be intent on not only standing in their way, but summoning an army in their way. With a giant swarm of heartless starting to form, it seemed that his body was becoming a part of the realm of darkness itself, both fueling each other in a large explosion of power. As the heartless began to flood, ones that he had never actually seen before, the boy summoned his keyblade and immediately stood on guard against he coming storm. However, his attention was drawn to the one who stood above all the others. A towering heartless, black in form with a hole in the shape of a heart in its chest. Its yellow eyes were only barely visible amongst the tangle of dark tendrils that made up its head, as the large creature loomed over everything. Stratos felt a sense of dread towards their supposed last test to get back to the realm of light, only to suddenly be more confused as a voice bellowed throughout the area. Stratos had no idea where it was coming from, until he looked up and saw the figure of a large man plummeting from the sky. With a single strike, the towering humanoid heartless was brought to its knees and broke apart into the very darkness that made up its being. Stratos had no idea who this man was, but with his familiarity towards Kaida and the raw power he displayed he was thinking this man was a member of the order as well. He was certainly of a different breed then Kaida, Yue and Lea, and his figure spoke for itself. He gave a far more commanding and inspiring presence then any of the others had, and as he began his exchange with Marshall Hughes, Straots was beginning to understand what it really meant to be a keyblade master. As Captain Fujioka declared that he would handle the marshal, that simply meant that the rest of the heartless were left to the group. Looking forward, Stratos saw that there was an almost innumerable amount of heartless, melding into what appeared to be a flood darkness. Yet, despite the volume he didn't feel any bit afraid of it. Knowing that he had braved hell and come out stronger for it, a few heartless didn't seem like that big of a deal. As Aislinn seemed to be the first to take off into the fray, Stratos sighed, looking with a relaxed expression towards Beuce. "Same old song and dance right?" Twirling his keyblade around he said, "well, at the very least, there's no behemoths this time right? So how about we show these heartless that they've made a terrible mistake." Grabbing his keyblade more tightly, he followed suit in Aislinn's opening move, vanishing in a single instant. Appearing in the center of a swarm of shadows, the heartless all stopped as a large slash mark appeared across them as they looked at the boy. "Hello heartless, I'm Stratos. A keyblade master." The slash expanded as the shadows all exploded in unison, turning into wisps of darkness. "A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

After her rocks had managed to sail into the flame plume that Kar-kiara had created, Aeira wasn't sure how much of a success the attack was. The girl watched curiously as the body of Nequa walked out, letting out a voice that she didn't think belonged. As the body collapsed, revealing itself to actually just be a metal copy that soon collapsed to the ground. Aeria's expression didn't change much, even as more robot Nequa's appeared and started firing off more magic at them. With a simple, "that's unfortunate," Aeira moved into a fighting stance and began to charge her way forward towards the enemies. With great speed and maneuverability, the girl was able to weave through different spells, avoiding what she could and punching at what she couldn't. As they were not all focused on her, and her gauntlets were able to absorb a large portion of the magical force, Aeira's charge was neither stopped nor did the girl seem to be all that hurt. With a drive to break through the robots, Aeira let out one punch first into the gut of one of the Nequabots, the followed up with a powerful hook at its head.
Stratos sighed a bit as the girl told him to speak what made him feel comfortable. It wasn't so much what she said, so much as what it made him think that caused his sigh. Before he had come here, what was it that he actually did? What did he actually want to talk about all the way back then? Thinking on it, his keyblade was the only reason he had anything to talk about with others to begin with. So perhaps business and regular life were the same for him...was he a businessman? While thinking about this, his train of thought was broken as Kel and Beuce had come in as well, Beuce joking at him about jinxing their down time. With a smirk on his face, the boy walked over to Beuce playfully punching him saying, "come on, we all know that once we step through there, it's going to be a meteor swarm. So why not acknowledge it once in awhile?" Chuckling a bit, the boy nodded to both Beuce and Luna saying, "yeah, I think it's high time we show the worlds that we're back."
Aeira looked a bit annoyed at Finlay as he told her to go rush inside. She didn't think it would be a particularly smart idea to bring the pod towards the person they were trying to keep it from. However, before she could say anything, a new person appeared. Aeira was a bit dumbfounded, looking at the new person who had just appeared out of nowhere. As they approached the pod, Aeira held up her hand saying, "um, excuse me. You shouldn't-" the girl continued to open the pod and look at the person inside, without much threat in her posture or tone. Aeira was unsure of how to tell the girl to stop and move away from the pod, but as the person, who she assumed to be Nequa, appeared Aeira merely shrugged and with a neutral expression on her face said, "well, I'm going to go beat her up now, so make sure that person doesn't get to her." With a short wave, the girl began to make her way towards where Nequa, Kar-kiara and Arctus were fighting. As the girl created a large explosion of fire against their opponent, Aeira didn't want to get particularly close; both due to the flames and the unknown element of her opponent. So, merely scouting the woman out, the girl stomped the ground creating four large rocks in front of her. With a few quick punches, the girl sent the rocks flying towards Nequa, merely wanting to see how things would play out.
As Aeira had gotten over to where the keyblade wielder was, both her and Kiara's threats and advice towards not fighting them. The girl shrugged, though, as the man seemed to start asking her more questions about the situation at hand. "I have no idea," she flatly said. It was true, she hadn't the faintest of ideas as to who was in the pod nor was she quite sure what they intended to do with the pod once they got it. Thinking for a moment, the girl clapped her hands together in realization, though her face still looked flat. "Well, we just need the pod to not be in there." She pointed to the lair that Nequa was in. Pointing back to him she said, "so just be away from here. And don't die." She nodded, content with her answer. Looking over towards the others, they seemed to be in the midst of fighting someone, and they were doing...alright? She wasn't quite sure, but she felt intruding at the current state wouldn't help. So instead, she decided to wait where she was, to continue keeping an eye on the keyblade wielder, in case he was actually an enemy, and the pod. "For now just stand here. I guess."
As Aeira had finally made her way over to the pod, it appeared that whatever pressing threat that she was racing against had decided to dip out as well. That left just her facing down with the person who had brought the pod in the first place. She wasn't quite sure who the person was, but he had a keyblade, and those people tended to be enemies. Though, as he began talking, it became clear that while he was indeed their enemy, he wasn't so willingly. Difficult. Aeira stopped, in a half confused half fighting stance, looking at the keyblade wielder, trying to figure out a response. Looking at him, she said, with very little conviction in her voice, "follow your heart and don't do it." Getting more into a fighting stance, she said, "or I'll punch you. A lot."
As the boy was just waiting for the others, he looked over to see Luna as she had come back. Being briefly stunned by her sudden change in appearance, the boy paused a bit before walking up to her. With a small bow towards the girl, he jokingly said, "I would be honored, your highness." With that, he would join Luna on her walk around Shibuya, merely looking around the unfamiliar and strange, yet wondrous sites that the city had to offer. While he walked he said, "man, can you believe we have a moment of down time like this? I think the last time we actually just sat down and rested was back the first time we went to Disney Town. Since then," Stratos seemed to be a bit lost in thought as he went through his memories of all the worlds and trials they had to face thus far. "Well, it's all behind us now right? We're almost out of here, and ready to go show the worlds that we're masters!" After seeming pumped up by this, he looked back to Luna, chuckling and a bit embarrassed, saying, "oh, sorry for keeping things all business even now."
As the fights were breaking out, Aeira was busy with the crowd of heartless that had arrived behind them. All the same, as there seemed to be only two heartless left, both Finlay and Koa seemed to be able to handle them, as they directed the girl elsewhere. That elsewhere being towards a pod that someone knew had arrived with. Aeira wasn't quite sure what the pod was, but she knew it was important to their enemies. And she didn't know who the newcomer was, but as he had a keyblade and was with the pod, she figured he was an enemy as well. "Got it." Nodding to her team members the girl began her dash, at speeds that matched even Vallus's, making her way towards the pod.
"Yeah," Stratos nodded towards Aislinn, "might as well make everything about this future new." As their instructor told them they were free to do what they wanted, they still only had a set amount of time to get through their ferry. Looking at the pin as it turned into a more ominous red color, the boy didn't think much on it at first. However, he was looking forward to being able to let the thing go, as it was proof they were no longer apart of these games to become a master. "Well, I'm going to look around for a bit," with that, Stratos began to walk around Shibuya, though, he saw Ananta make a break for the portal. He understood the urgency in her departure, though, didn't quite feel it himself. Instead, he merely looked for a place to change his wardrobe which, given the sheer volume of buildings in Shibya, wasn't all that difficult. Moments later, the boy came out in his new outfit, feeling a lot more free with the current jacket he was wearing. Cracking his knuckles, he walked back over to the group, saying, "well, anyone else got something fun to do in our time here?"
Stratos continued to smile and laugh as Aislinn seemed to through an equally weird experience. As it was revealed that they were indeed now masters, Stratos was briefly stunned in joy, only to then be swept away by Aislinn's enthusiasm as well. Patting the woman on the shoulder, Stratos smiled saying, "well, can't say I could've done it without you as well partner. Even since back at the castle of illusions, if it wasn't for you we'd all probably still be locked in chests. So it's been a pleasure working with you as well." After giving Aislinn a thumbs up, the boy started to walk over to see that they were now supposed to pick some kind of Aura things. They all seemed to be representative of some element or strength that each of them had. Looking through all of them, the first that had stood out to him was the element of Darkness. It was one that, in terms of techniques he knew, he was just getting to learn them. Yet, like everyone here, he was no stranger to it. The boy knew that the only way he was going to get stronger was if he learned everything he could. And this included the techniques of his enemies. The next that stood out to him was Gravity. The natural enemy of time, and something he would eventually need to learn in order to defeat the one opponent he had to beat. Then with the last one to pick, Stratos looked through the Auras and, while he was curious about Blade, there was something strange about Sound to him. It was an element all on its own, with nothing to couple with it. It had no purpose by itself, exiting within its own void, and only through the power of others did it manage to find meaning. Thinking it a perfect fit for him, the last of the Auras for Stratos to select was Sound. "Well, now that we're Masters guys," he turned to group and said. "I suppose I could also use a wardrobe change," he looked at his ragged and damaged clothing. With a smile across his face the boy said, "I know we still need to find a way out of this realm of darkness, but, I think we should get anything we need out of the way first, right? A little calm before the storm, since we just weathered plenty."
As Stratos was walking around, smile clear on his face as everyone else seemed to be taking in the realization as well, he and Kel were suddenly tackle hugged by Kaida. Chuckling at both her admission of past failure but raw enthusiasm in the face of it, the boy waved her off as she let go and bounded off after the others. Looking around, he saw Aislinn come back as well, the woman greeting both him and Kel. With a wave back to her as well, he said, "yeah, nothing out of the ordinary really. We were just walking, talking animals and had to deal with a revolution of birds. You know how these things go." He joked. "So, judging by her over there," he motioned to Kaida, "I take it you all passed your world with flying colors too?"
Alright so I don't actually have summoner because I messed up and didn't see that Basil was removed. So I'd like to take back buying Elementary (1000 Munny) and instead by Lady Luck (1750 Munny.) When all is said and done I'd now have 4050 Munny. On top of that I need to buy Reluctancy for Monk, so that is another 1000 Munny. 3050 total Munny after all.
As the group resolved to depart from Zootopia, the group quickly found themselves back in Shibuya. Looking around the familiar cityscape, Stratos said, "well, we're really back here, huh. It's really over isn't it, guys?" Looking around at the party, Stratos was in a bit of disbelief that they were about to become Keyblade Masters. He still wasn't really sure exactly what that entailed, but he knew it was the first step towards taking down No Heart and saving every where that had fallen so far. Clapping his hands together, with a cheery look on his face, he said, "well, are you guys ready to be masters?"
