"If that's what you feel is best, then good luck." Chrono had no desire to see anymore of his comrades die before him. He might've been a bit more annoyed with them, well two of them, death was by no means anything he wished on them. There was no sense in forcing them into something that they did not want to do. Following Mora to the cliff and watching Cerdic done on his keyblade armor, Chrono briefly considered doing the same but decided against it for the time being. He actually did remember having one and how to summon it. With that decision made, he looked up at the cliff that they were supposed to climb. He should be able to do this. With an affirmative nod, Chrono started to ascend up the cliff.
Kel could tell by the look in the penguins eyes that he'd realized just how much trouble that he was now in. With one keyblade he was able to beat three of them with ease. One could only imagine just how easy it would be to do the same now with two keyblades. Thus the penguin had hand signs or as close to them as he realistically could get given that it was trying to make hand signs with flippers of all things. At the end of this interesting display was was four puffs of smoke. Reinforcements had arrived to back up the poor, lone penguin ninja. Kel wasn't phased in the slightest by this and readied himself with both keyblades in hand. The penguins were quick to attack, not wanting to make the same mistake as the last group had done, and ganged up on Kel by attacking him by with blades drawn. Each blade had connected and pierced through, giving them the brief satisfaction of victory. However, what they had pieced was simply a wooden log as the real Kel casually stood behind them. "And that's how you properly avoid an attack as a ninja." A lesson that was followed by Kel dashing towards them groups at his ninja boosted speed. One of the penguins had managed to get his blade free rather quickly and set off to meet Kel in what had the potential to be an amazing clash between two ninjas. The initiative favored Kel for he'd tossed out a smoke bomb to create a screen to covered his progress. The penguin, thrown off by this, had stopped in its tracks. The sudden smoke caused it to look around in a panic wondering if it was going to be attack from any of the direction in which the smoke covered. The reality of the situation was that Kel was still charging from the front and delivered a devastating 'X' shaped blow once he'd gotten within range of penguin. The poor penguin was sent flying through the air, though fortunately still landed within the immediate area unlike the two penguins that Kel had exploded earlier. Realizing that it would be a bad idea for them if they stayed grouped up, the penguins split up. Actually using smoke screen to cover their tracks as well. So they could do that, good to know for the remainder of this battle. Standing there with his keyblades at the ready, Kel waited for any sign of an impending attack. Seconds after waiting, he was greeted by the unconscious body of one the penguins falling at his feet. He spotted Beuce, clad in his ranger attire and gave him the thumbs up before turning right as another penguin had tried to get the jump on him. Its initial attack was dodged and Kel countered by casting Graviga on it. Now that it was harmlessly floating around, Kel spotted the other at the distance seemingly planning something. The distraction gave Kel plenty of time to throw his keyblade at it. The bomb making process, which again was impressive given that it was doing this with just flippers, was halted with the penguin realized this and dodged the attack. Feeling proud of itself, it failed to noticed two key things. The cherry blossoms that had started to fall and that it was only one keyblade that was thrown at it. Before it could realized how much trouble it was in, Kel vanished in the blink of an eye. Only to reappear behind it, having dealt its damage from his Zantesuken and caught his other keyblade in the process. The number of penguins had quickly diminished and he knew that there were at least two left from the group of five he was dealing with.

They had arrived at Tundratown with no issues and had even ran into Beuce and the others. Through the guidance of FruFru they walked towards where they were supposed to be able to meet her father. That was not the case as another voice went out of its way to greet them, even if Kel had no idea what accent that this voice had. Something that sounded like a villain or made it easier to believe that they were evil. There was a lingering tensity in the atmosphere up until the voice had said 'penguin ninjas' and while surprised by that the various figures with blades and such seemed to imply that he was telling the truth. "This is still going to take some getting used to." Regardless of how seemingly in intimidating this group of enemies were, Kel knew better than to underestimate them. Brandishing his keyblade, he took the first move by walking up to the nearest penguin ninja and tapping it with his fist. Said ninja was confused by this given that the bump itself didn't even hurt it in the slightest. What the ninja didn't realize was that shortly after Kel had done that, the spot in which he had touch started to burn. The burning grew until said spot was practically on fire and finally the penguin was sent flying backward as a result of the his attack. Confusion plastered the faces of all the ninjas who all turned to look at Kel. Kel simply had his keyblade at the ready, prepared to strike at the next one who choose to go on the offensive first. After moments of staring at one another in this pseudo stare down, the next move was made by the penguins who leapt to attack in a group of three. With a quick cast of Stopra, Kel quickly took a short leap back to distance himself from the from the small group. Then by turning the blade end of his keyblade down and towards the ground, he casted Seeker Mine and waited for the his first spell to wear off. One penguin ninja had the misfortune of being the ahead of the two by a small amount. Thus when it landed on the ground first, five mines had appeared beneath it and flew into it before it had even a second to react. in theory it could avoid the attack by using some sort of ninja ability, but he wasn't sure if they could even do that. Kel knew that he could do it as per his own ninja job and judging from the trail of smoke that few upward and the poor penguin that had blasted off team rocket style (not that he had any idea who team rocket was), either they did not know how to do it or that poor penguin was too surprised by the sudden mines that actually flew towards to properly react with some evasion move. Oh well, was no skin off is nose. Now to deal with the last two ninjas out of the ones who had chosen to attack him and had been doing so the entire time he had been wondering if they would be able to avoid his attack. What had happened was that after the middle penguin had blasted off the never neverland, the remaining two attacked first by throwing shuriken at him. He fended these off easily, but the penguins moved in to close range combat while he was busy fending off these attacks. One attack he was able to block with his keyblade. The second however it didn't look like would be able to do the same. In another flash of light, Kel brought out his second keyblade and smacked back the second penguins attack before it could land a blow on him. The perks of being able to dual wield keyblades.

"Not completely." Zephyr had said to Gavin. They continued to follow behind Maliel as she guided them towards the Mayor's manor. The building that they had passed very quickly caught his attention and the children's voices only extended for how long his attention was focused on it. "Seems that way." Despite being able to understand why they were kept behind it, Zephyr didn't quite fully agree to these means. From his stand point, it looked more like they were in a prison of sorts. At the very least they were having fun in there, which sorta made it all better. "Quite the well guarded school if that's the case. That said, didn't you go to a school too Thea?" He actually didn't know if she did or not, but knew that school wasn't just a 'peasant' thing.
"That's a good question." Chrono muttered to himself. The large foliage that surrounded them was odd, especially with how large the mushrooms were. Chrono had decided to keep these thoughts regarding the surroundings to himself and continued to follow behind in silence. Every now and then his eyes would scan around to see if there was anything that stuck out to him. Well more then how everything else stuck out to him anyway.
Chrono never wanted to do that again. Falling was something that he did have a problem with and most of the time it was easy for him to work around that. Suddenly plunging towards a planet after being shot by a cannon was not one of those times, hence his tight grip on the boats sides that didn't let up for at least a few moment after they had crash landed. "Yes, thankfully." When Jim grabbed the map and said map turned into Morph, Chrono was reminded of the same object that Take had gone after before they fell. The realization had caused a sigh, followed by him saying. "Take might already have the map. I saw him go after it before the pirates broke through." Great, not only did he have what the pirates were looking for, but there was seemingly no way for them to help from on this planet.
For most of the carriage ride Zephyr had been looking out of the carriage window watching everything go pass them. Which is why when the scenery started to take turn for the more creepy, he both noticed it and didn't like the ominous feeling that it gave. Arriving at the market place, Zephyr got out of the carriage and looked around. The looks they got and the people talking in their hands was something he was used to personally, but another looked showed that they were more focused on Thea. "Could be that they weren't expecting someone so young to come and help them." That may have been what he said, but the lack of anyone her age cause a different reason to come to mind. The courtesying girl surprised Zephyr slightly. "Yeah, that's us. I'm Zephyr. Where is your mayor by the way?"
With the banging on the door growing with each passing second, Chrono didn't hesitate to get aboard the lifeboat. "We already said we aren't leaving anyone behind, don't think your exempt from that!" Chrono called out to Take. He'd managed to catch a glimpse of the orb Take had run off after, but was more concerned with what he planned on doing with it. Master Choma had said that it was what the pirates wanted and if that were true, what would he gain from taking it himself. A bargaining chip? Hopefully that wasn't the case.
"She can handle herself." Zephyr said as Thea maneuvered her flames through her finger. "Besides that' why we're going with her, to make sure nothing happens." Gavin's concerns were understandable and it wasn't like he wanted to throw her into harms way despite how nonchalant he may have sounded, but they couldn't baby her. Thea was still a member of their guild. If it were to come down it, they would simply back her up. Zephyr watched the crumbs fall to the ground after Thea scarfed down the muffin. "I take it you're ready now then?"
Chrono was glad that Jim had pushed the two into the maintenance tunnel. More so Illiana cause he was tempted to do the same himself. He followed down after them after Jim had the explosion was clear motive for him to actually start running away from the captains quarters. The tunnels had lead them right to their destination, the life boats, and waiting them were the others. "We can catch up later after we're on the life boat." Chrono said, glancing behind him at the door they had just gone through.
Outside of Aria's outburst, it hadn't been too noisy while they ate. There was the occasional noise here and there, but nothing major. Thus when things got noticeable louder on the upper deck, curiosity was the first thing that Chrono felt. Nodding and following behind Aria, things got both louder and rowdier the closer that they got to the deck. It was easy to spot once it was in sight, the black skull and crossbone flag that waved in place of the original flag. "Not good." The pirates on the top deck and in the path of the captains quarters. The exact direction in which Aria had gone. Chrono could understand why she had gone that way, but at the very least he'd wish ran. Being in a hurry wouldn't help if they still got caught in the process of heading there. After making sure that there wasn't anyone looking in thier immediate direction, Chrono dashed off after Aria.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Yeah I'm fine." Zephyr said. Despite knowing that Gavin had take a seat next to him, he wasn't expecting anyone to directly address him. So he was a bit surprised, but was able to compose himself when the piece of paper was passed over to him. He looked over the paper and quickly noticed that what was written on being the same as the mission he had his eyes on. Convenient for him as he knew Midarah wouldn't be too fond of him trying to take the mission on by himself. "Sure, I don't mind tagging along." The loud yellings of a little girl was as easily heard as it was spotting Thea waving some paper in the air. It had to have been a job that she wanted wanted to do. "I'll be right back." He told Gavin, then getting up and striding over towards Thea. "Mind if I tag along." Zephyr said to the little girl.
Zephyr nodded at Conrad's response as he watched his friend walk away. While he had noticed Gavin sitting next to him, Zephyr didn't do much beside offer him a quick wave to show that he had acknowledge him before turning away and looking down at the bracelet he wore on his left wrist. According to his sister it was a gift to him from his father who had worn something similar like this. Said similarities lied within the winged sword emblem that also hide his guild mark. Zephyr knew nothing about it or what it was supposed to mean. Asking about it had only given him the answer that it had been in his family for years. Considering how little he truly knew about his ancestors and all that, not at all a helpful answer. At the very least it made a nice good luck charm for him and luck was something that Zephyr desperately needed at times. If only you'd stuck around to tell me about this yourself dad.
In his tired state Chrono had managed to find himself in the kitchen as a result of his walk. Suffice to say that he wasn't expecting to smell anything being cooked nor how familiar it was. Scrambled eggs and they were already prepped and there was even a spot for him even set. Part of him honestly thought this was a dream, despite clearly seeing both Aria and Illiana at the table eating. "This is an oddly pleasant surprise." He didn't mean anything negative by that statement and perhaps he wouldn't have to defend himself. Regardless of that, he took himself a seat at the napkin that had his name and started eating the eggs.
Chrono had slept oddly throughout the night. While he had managed to actually get some sleep, there were a lot of things still on his mind and hindered him from reaching a complete state of sleep. Meaning that when he woke up, it was with a yawn to signal that he was still tired. Hearing the 'ow' Chrono looked just in time to see Take chasing after Jim. An odd start to the morning for sure, but he was too tired to worry about it too much. Gradually making his way off the bed and getting dressed, he went for a quick walk to hopefully wake himself up further.
Chrono had been relatively silent while listening to what Master Choma and the others were saying. They only knew two of the princesses, one of which had already been taken. Plus it wasn't like there were any distinguishing features that Princess of heart had that would make finding them easier. Knowing that they had a pure heart of light didn't do much when they couldn't actually check that to his knowledge. Chrono made note of them names that Aria had said were connected to the Light Chaser and at the mentioning of this 'Koa', a smash was heard behind them. Seeing as it was Illiana was the one who had caused it and how quickly she was to leave the conversation prior to Aria chasing after her. It reminded him of how her acted when he had asked about her sibling. Maybe this Koa guy is connected to her sibling somehow. It sounded reasonable enough with the little info he managed to get Illiana to say earlier.

"Yo." Zephyr simply said as he lifted his hand up for a quick wave towards Lakoda. During the small lesson she had given Thea, Zephyr had gotten himself a piece of toast before returning to their general area. He had in fact taken a look at some of the current jobs that were posted and there was really one of that truly interested him. "The enchanted flute job had my interest." Perhaps he should look at it once again given that his first look had just been to get general idea of what they were. There easily could've been some details that he missed in the process of doing that. An urgent mission, involving the sick no less. That truly didn't sound like a good combination. "I might stick with my first choice." He said said after taking another bite out of his toast. Maira had let out a chuckle of her own when Midarah responded. "It's hard not to know how you tend to overwork yourself." Adjusting herself, Maira glanced down towards the other members of the guild, then turned her attention back to Midarah. "I slept perfectly fine actually." They were soon joined by Gavin, who Maira waved at as her form of greeting. "Perhaps you try asking some of the others before you try Everette. I know he likes to help and all, but an S-Class is still an S-Class." To her it seemed like a bit of an shift in balance to have an S-Class tag along for certain missions. Naturally there were exceptions to this and when said exceptions arose, she would certainly no hesitate to assist.
Two choices were presented before them, one being a much safer alternative and would've easily granted him a longer life. The other however would be much more perilous and could result in his death however, the reward of this one though was much better than its counterpart. With said reward in mind, it was quite easy for him to make his decision. So easy in fact that he really didn't need to think on it. "At the risk of sounding like a broken record, there's still some holes in my memory that I'd like to be filled and I know for a fact that Ria has some say in that and I'm not leaving this place until he's dead and those holes are filled. So let's get this over with." Chrono said.
Following behind Weaselton, Kel had gotten annoyed by the raspberry that was blown their way. Catching him would be a huge relief at this point. When they did catch up to him, he had been stopped by a polar bear in a suit. Certainly not something that Kel had expected to see at all that was for certain. Once more the names 'Nick and Judy' were thrown out, which prompted Kel to ask. "Um, mind telling us more about your 'daddy' or at the very least let us tag along to his office?" He had a vague idea on who the mob were, really he was just comparing them to some of the gangs he's heard about back home, but given their attire he wasn't sure how well this would go.
