View attachment 48681 He watched Aislinn began to search the shops began to search the shops walk off and begin to search the shops. The shops that seemed to appear out of no were. Soon Aislinn came out of the shop with a new outfit. It seemed like everyone was changing outfits. He did not feel the need. He had some other clothing he could put on if need be. Stratos then appeared with a new outfit and 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.' "I guess it is best to try and enjoy it the best we can." He knew all to well that this was not going to last long. Everyone was hugging each other or putting on a new outfit. He had almost forgotten that he was a outsider. These people had known each other for years at this point he had to guess. He had only been around for what felt like months. He tried to put on a smile for the others but it made him wonder some things. Where was his place in all off this? All he knew was that he was here to make a difference, if he did or did not was another thing all together. He looked around a noticed that Megumi was gone. This could be good or bad. "Um, Megumi is gone." He looked at Hikaru and wondered some things. There is a time for everything he thought. "So, how are we going to go about finding Yue, Lea and Glen?" They had to find them before the 24 hours was up he was sure. He was sure if they didn't they would be stuck in the realm of darkness.
View attachment 48660 He watched as Stratos continued to smile and laugh as Aislinn. He knew all to well that this wold not last long. Stratos then said, 'Well, now that we're Masters guys. I suppose I could also use a wardrobe change.' He kind of liked what he had on. Aislinn walked over and slung her arm around him. Then Aislinn said, 'You really did. And I am not repeating it. I don't know how Kaida feels though, maybe ask her if you want to see. I don't think I am ever going to sing that fast again though.' "Cant say I blame you." He then watched as Megumi made his way to the center of the group. This was going to be fun. A holographic map appeared before them, showing a blinking red light roughly a dozen kilometers from their location. 'Your ferry back to the realm of light will be placed on a world known as Destiny Islands. An unfortunate world that fell to darkness close to a year ago. And as comfortable as you are now, I wouldn't get too cozy. The portal back to the realm of light will only be open for 24 hours.' He did not think that 24 hours was enough time. They still had to find the missing people from there group. "We still need to find the others," he said voicing his concern. That was when A small high-pitched noise was heard. Hikaru was standing there with both fists clenched from the anticipation of watching his friends. He wondered if that was needed. It seemed like Aux, Kaida and Hikaru were friends once again. He guessed that they should not waste any time then and get going.
View attachment 48659 Gavin turned when Zephyr Said, 'I don't see the harm in us all going.' "I guess it is a plan then. Who knows we might learns something once we get there. We will get a prospective from someone who lives out on a farm on what he thinks is going on in the city." There was also the fact that on the way they could talk about what they learned at the school which might bring them to some answers.
View attachment 48655 The first thing that happened after they got back was that Beuce and Kaida had some sort of conversation. Something about the old times. That was when Ignis came up and said, 'So does anyone know where we go from here? I'd like to be able to go find a place to get new clothes, mine are getting a little worn out for my liking. Do I have to wait for us to get back to our own realm, or is there a shop here that I might be able to visit?' "Well if it is like anything else around here it will just appear at some point. After all it is how everything else happens it just pops up." He shrugged, as sooner or latter something would happen or appear. Kaida then proceeded to give tips to Ignis about clothing. That was when Hikaru appeared back in Shibuya and he snuck off to take care of something. He was always going off in secret. That was when Megumi stepped from out of the corner of everyone's eyes. He was not surprised. So were they just all going to pretend the last time he showed up Glen went missing? He was trying to figure out why Megumi was being so nice. 'Well done to all of you. I feel a simple congratulations isn't enough, but here I am congratulating you. You've all shown rapid growth and steady co-ordination. I'm proud to award you these well deserved tokens of mastery.' He just did not know what to say about this. That was when Aislinn said to Stratos, 'Thank you for being a great partner and teammate. I know it is easier to go with your friends, so it means a lot. Couldn't have made it to master without any of you.' He must have missed that something between Aislinn and Stratos happened. That was when Kel said to Aislinn, 'You danced the hula?' "It was one of those had to be there moments." He walked away slightly from the others and looked into the endless darkness.
View attachment 48643 Gavin just sat there while the maid shook her head. 'Just only that we've failed countless times to keep the children safe... Every time the flute music sounds off anyways.' "I learned a few things, so you were helpful." The young girl then added, 'It's kinda scwary. It's wike a bad dweam. But you don't see anywing. You just get sleepy, and... sleep.' There seemed to be something about the sleep that just did not add up. He said nothing about his thoughts. Just then, the front door opened and in came in a young man with a couple of adults with boxes and goods coming in. "I think I should be going," and stood up and walked over to Jack. He just stood there and let thing unfold for now. Jack then said, 'I'm Jack. I'm the errand boy around here and make sure everything is stocked and good to go. It's good to see a guild coming to help us out.' This visit seemed out of the blue and he would have thought that they would have been told about someone else coming. That was when Kyo spoke up. That there was some peculiar news in town today. 'Farmer Gav is giving away baby chicks again. Only one...' Kyo then glanced to where Thea was. 'Possibly two.' Why kyo, why? They had enough to put up with. Then there was talk about a cat. A flash of anger seemed to cross over Jack's eyes before he sighed out and then picked up the box of goods. He then wished them luck. It looked like they had to leave. He spotted Thea, and Zephyr not to far off. "We need to talk." He then added, "privately", before ether of them said anything about what they learned. That was when Thea said, 'There is a kitten? Can I see it? We have to go now anyways right? Please will you take me to see the kitten? I bet it is so cute and fluffy!' He was not all that surprised at what Thea was going on about. 'Can I go. I promise I won't be too long. You don't have to come with me or anything. I promise I will be back before it is too late and then we can do our jobs. I just want to see the cat. Is that okay?' If it had been any other mission he might of let Thea go off by herself but at any moment the flute could go off. "I do not think that is the best idea. I don't particularity mind were we go as long as we get to talk." He left the choice up to Zephyr.
View attachment 48632 He was happy that this was over. They were able to help others which was good. He silently wondered if they could somehow help everyone. That was when Aislinn said, 'I suppose our job here is done. We just have to move forward and make the next stride to becoming masters.' "I guess we should be going." That was when Timon said, 'And to show our appreciation, here's a little do-hicky Pumbaa and I found lyin' aroun.' "Thank you it is time to go." He had no clue how they were going to get back but he was sure a way would show its self. He turned around and saw a portal open up a short distance away. With that done all that was left was to walk through the portal and he did. View attachment 48631 As he walked through the portal he noticed that he seemed to be standing on two feet now. He looked at his arms and legs and everything seemed to be back to normal. He kind of liked being a lion. He could always go back he he wanted. "Well that was interesting." It was kind of a understatement tho. Now that they were keyblade masters he wondered what was next. He turned to the others and said, "I am guessing everything went well." He was not sure what else to say at the moment.
Good luck to the challengers :) The dance has been interesting.
View attachment 48628 He just sat there for a moment then the maid answered him. 'Well, it's happened at least six times since I've been here helping over the last... three months I want to say? There's always fog that rolls into town, we live in a swamp after all.' That did not explain the life that the fog had. 'When we hear the flute, we try to cover our ears and muffle it out. Sometimes we are successful, and sometimes not. When we're not, that's when everyone ends up falling asleep, and then we wake up to find one of children gone. It's very disconcerting.' "Humm interesting." He knew full well that they had to get going soon. As he sat there he tried to keep a eye on the others. He had to say this trip had been helpful. "Is there anything else that happens?" He asked them both. "Is there anything else you can tell me?" He had a feeling about something and if he was right it would explain so much.
spending 70 crowns on magic bringing the total to 50
View attachment 48626 As he waited for a response he looked out to Thea and Zephyr hoping that they were finding out information too. He then brought his attention back to the little girl. The first thing he noticed was that she seemed to be shying away. "It is OK I am here to help." That was when the maid looked down at the little girl and said, 'Don't be rude, Cindy. It's alright.' The maid then looked up at Gavin and smiled apologetically. 'I'm sorry, she's a little shy. You're the mages that are here to help, right?' "It is fine I remember when I was younger I was not much different and yes we are here to help." He had to hide away his magic, but he was shy because of his magic and hid away because of it. "It is OK Cindy," he said trying to comfort Cindy. 'I dun know what happens when fog wolls in, mister,' she answered honestly as she clutched on the maid's outfit. 'We gotta go to bed eawry, and I stay asweep all nigh. I only heard the floot music a few times, but I always go back to sweep. Even when I wanna stay awake.' That was interesting he found out some things. Now he just had to hope that the others found out some things. "Thank you Cindy." He then turned his attention to the maid. "So, what happens to you when the fog and the music of the flute plays." He was trying to piece the puzzle together and this was just one more piece. Once he got some information from the maid he might be able to put things together. He was starting to get some ideas of what was going on but could not be sure until he got more information and find out what the others found out.
View attachment 48618 Andrew stood there for a moment attack were going were which way. As the assault continued, the dust finally settled, showing that Scar was still standing. How was the lion still standing? He was tired and did not know how long he would last if the battle continued. Scar's dark aura, slowly diminished which was nothing but a good thing. Maybe now they could focus on finding the other members of SOS. That was when Hikaru said, 'Wow, we did it. We returned the king,but.. what about the hyenas?' He did not think that they would be much trouble compared to Scar. That was when Aux, appearing from behind them. He did not look good. Hikaru then asked, 'What happened to you?' The response being, 'Believe you me, you don't wanna know.' After what he had seen of Aux he was sure he could make a few guesses. Simba let loose a mighty roar, which all the other lions joined in on. Aux walked forward and let loose a booming roar of his own. "Umm, Aux, you don't have to-", Hikaru said before being cut off by Aux 'I EARNED THIS DAMMIT!' Aux continued to roar with the other lions. He was not sure what make Aux think he earned it but said nothing. He stood the awkwardly with the loins not sure what to do. He did not feel all that comfortable with what was going on. That was when Simba tapped him lightly and gave him the look of go ahead and you better do this. He was not so sure about this, but he did not have a choice in the manner. He stood with the other lions and let out a roar. As he did so he looked back at the others he wonder what they would do. After that moment was over he walked back to the others. "Well now what?" That was when Pumbaa asked, 'So uhh... what're you guys gonna do now?' He was not sure what to say for a moment. "We continue travailing and find the others," he said simply.
View attachment 48598 Andrew noticed that everyone was doing something with someone and he was feeling left out a little. Kaida seemed to be starting something with Aislinn which left only one person Hikaru. Unfortanty Hikaru seemed to be a little wore out a the moment. He looked to scar and said, "It is time to show you the light." With that said and down he summed his keyblade again and thought show scar the light. Lighting came out of his keyblade and went towards scar. AJ used Thundara on Scar.
View attachment 48595 Andrew felt drained and was not sure what to do about it. He let his keyblade disappear for now. He did not like the idea of getting close to scar but he was not sure what choice he had. Jumping and running at this point he ran at scar and attacked him a few times before returning to defense. AJ used Ground Combo on Scar
View attachment 48593 He had to do something he just was not sure what it was yet. They need a massive heal but the prom was he could not feel the energy do do so. The only thing left was to attack. Before he did so he gave Kaida a I am sorry look. Do something big he thought and mines came out. AJ used Seeker Mine on Scar
View attachment 48576 After he used Seeker Mine on scar he could tell something was different. Scar started to glow with more of a Dark Aura. This can be good.That was when scar started going after everyone. The attack hit and he landed on his side. looking around everyone seemed hurt but there was nothing he could do about it right now. There would be now helping the others if he was dead or knocked out so the best option was to heal himself for now. Heal he thought and a green light appeared. AJ used Curaga on himself
View attachment 48554 Andrew tuned when Hikaru said, 'Well, he's a heartless now right? Whatever he's doing is going to be based on how much we weaken it!' If it was based on damage then there should be a way to get around it. Aislinn then said, 'I don't know if we can stop it from changing, we just do the best with what we have and go for it.' "I guess you are right we just have to do the best we can." He was hoping for the best out come right now. With nothing to do but attack he thought I need earth again and the mines showed up again. AJ used Seeker Mine on scar
View attachment 48551 Gavin stood there for a moment looked at the others. He was a little surprised that Zephyr had been so silent. He would have thought that he would have said something but he did not. With nothing to do but to go and talk to the children he walked into the room. He noticed a few people that he could talk to. There was a 12 year old that looked like a younger version of Maliel, A group of three boys and an older girl was kneeling on the other side of the room, helping a four year old clean her muddy shoes with a smile. Thinking that the best option was to talk to the youngest person he could see he made his way over slowly. Young children were typical the ones that you could get the most truth out of. He walked over to the young girl and took a seat right by her so that he would be on her level. He just smiled at her for a moment. He then said said, "Hello my name name is Gavin and I would like to ask so questions about the music and fog." He thought it might be best to keep it as simple as possible and tried to be as friendly as possible so as to not scare off the child. He waited a moment for the child to process what he just said and then asked, "Can you tell me what happens when you hear the music and sound of a flute? When the fog comes in and what happens with the older children. It is OK if you do not understand it but tell me the best you can", he said with a smile. He was trying to not overwhelm the child with so many questions at once so he only asked a few. While he waited for an answer he looked out to the others to see what they were doing.
View attachment 48548 Andrew tuned and saw lighting coming towards him. This was not good. It hit him and sent him flying and he hit a rock hard. He stared to see random colors. He was barely able to stand. That was when Kaida healed him. "Thanks." There had to be a way to stop Scar form changing forms how was the question. "Any idea how how to stop the changing?" he asked. With that said and done it was time to heal himself. Heal he thought and a glowing light came over him. AJ used Curaga on himself
View attachment 48547 Hikaru seemed to be trying to freeze Scar, which was a interesting way to do things. That was when Scar started to glow with electrical energy with sparks flying off. This battle was a interesting one with all the changes Scar was doing. There had to be a way to do something about that. was was good to use when fighting something electrical? The first thing that he thought of was earth. The only problem he did not think he knew anything about earth spells as he never used one before. I need earth he thought. As he thought this mines appeared out of no where and seemed to chasing Scar. It was interesting to watch. AJ used Seeker Mine on Scar
View attachment 48545 Andrew truned and saw that some light was able to come down from the dark sky. Soon scar used fire on him, which did not end up doing much. He stood there a moment it burned a little but he could tell it was not as powerful as it could have been. The battle seemed to be going somewhat well. That was when Ananta landed on his head which he did not like. It would have been better if she asked first. She then asked, 'Hey, Aj, do you know any magic? Know anything that this Scar guy could be weak to?' He was not sure why she came to him. Did he know any magic? Did she not see the wave of water shoot towards scar moments ago? In a sense magic just seemed to work whenever he thought about it and came out of the keyblade. "For scar the most likely thing is light magic. See how he is glowing with a dark energy that is his weakness? The next best think would be water and lighting as he is wet now but was on fire. if you have none of those then the best thing is defense and healing." He raced off and looked towards the sky. It was time for a thunderstorm. He stood there for a moment. He then pointed his keyblade to the sky and watched as lighting come down and hit Scar square in the body. AJ used Thundara on Scar
