Zain pulled himself from his memories and hurried to dinner. His eyes were wide with the food and he scrambled up into his chair, "Wow! C'mon, Yuki, let's eat! Eat, eat, eat!"
Zain played quietly in his room. Or at least gave the impression of playing. He was lost in his memories again. Wondering who this Cara in his head could be. Someone he cherished.
Mickey pulled up the robe and gaped at it, "What's this doing here? Hm, Halloween Town sure has gotten strange." Renee glanced around, the feeling of darkness watching her remained the same but she didn't think anything would jump out at her. Xenree eyed the gold coins and smiled, "Saphique, stay here with the coins. I'll be back later for them." She disappeared in a dark corridor and Saph felt like he'd been tricked somehow into leaving her. She reappeared in the basement of the Doctor's house in Halloween Town. "Hmm, I'm a bit off today." A feeling of light stabbed through her heart and she leaned against the wall, gasping for air as she recognized the light, "Renee..." Terra touched his chest, "You mean my heart? I...I wouldn't know. So much has happened and I...I forget just how tempting the Darkness can be."
Chie walked side by side with her friends. "Ah... so you came here because of your parents job. Haha, I thought it was something way more serious." Haru gave her a sideways look, though he remained silent as he listened.
Zain's blue eyes lit up and widened, "Awsome..." He drooled a little before whiping his mouth and jumping up, "Well then, lets go! I'm starved anyway and everyone's goin' home."
Ah, thank you. Absolutely. *sigh* if i could just get my computer back I'd be on top of things...
Huh, oh, sorry this computer has youtube blocked so I've no idea what she's supposed to say.
Zain frowned, "Awww, I don't like the doctor. He always pokes at me like some science experiment." But Zain complained about everything, except the smell of home cooking...or food in general.
Renee nodded, "If something does happen, Raoxthu...I can take care of myself." Mickey looked up at Riku and back at the mice, "Do ya think we should help them? I mean, what is a tv doing in Halloween Town?" Terra looked ashamed for a moment, "Darkness...it's never a good thing. It can only exist to be destroyed by light." He released his Keyblade and Nightmare retreated after it. "What now?" Xemnas opened a dark corridor, "We find Xenree." Xenree gave a charming smile to the men of Port Royal. They were hers to command now with the help of darkness. Saphique stared at her with admiration and followed at her heels as she walked onto the ship, "Take us to your...cursed treasure. I wish to see it with my own eyes." She turned to the cabin below and left Saph to his own thoughts on the deck as Heartless jumped on board. Saph summoned Omega and grinned, "Finally, some entertainment. Don't you worry, Xenree, I'll protect you no matter if you want me around or not." Akii opened a dark corridor, skipping the award ceremony and headed through it, Zexion on her heels. "Hmm, I believe The Castle of Dreams is next on my check list."
"Always do." he said with a little pant.
Mickey stared in surprise at them, trying to figure out if they were hostile or not. Renee rubbed her forehead, There's something very dark here. I can practicaly feel it climbing down my spine. Nightmare growled, I smell darkness on him. This boy has a lot of darkness inside his heart. Something that will never be purified. And there is much sadness to him. Perhaps finding his friends will restore what light he had adn erase the sadness. I believe we should help him, Mage. Terra stared at his Keyblade, "So...there's no voice inside my Keyblade. I don't belive it's lost. My power is with my friends and theirs is with me." He caught Xemnas' look of disbelief and he set his face in a hard determination, "What I do, I do for friendship." "If you says so..." Xemnas agreed. He remembered the Room of Sleep in Castle Oblivion, where the armor of a girl lay and wondered if that was a friend Terra spoke of.
Zain hurried off to his friends and clambered all around the park with them at his heels. His hand was always held off to one side as if he were holding something as he fake fought with his friends and invisible enemies. He narrated through their entire game. "And Bartandalous was the VICTOR!" He grinned, though his choice of a fake name was oddly exactly like the old Zain's new name. Bartandalous...the dark crystal half of Orphan, Persona of the Gods. Exhausted, he returned to Yuki and drained a juice box.
Terra watched her with confusion, "What? Nightmare....you mean your Keyblade talks to you? I've never heard of that before." He completely ignored the part about his own Keyblade. He knew exactly what could've happened to it. Nightmare pulsed under Mage's hand. Remember Mage, back in Terra's time, Keyblades didn't speak though they were partners. They followed command without question. Rarely do Keyblades have individual names either. It's likely Terra has never heard his Keyblade speak before and only used it as a weapon, bringing chaos and peace with it's light. Renee hid her hand behind her back and smiled, "Nothing. I'm just a little excited is all, I guess." She followed as Roxas, Xion and Mickey left the ship. Mickey stopped at the half-buried thing Donald had tripped over, "Hmm, what's this?"
Zain smiled for his sister and Nicholi put him down. "That one went right over his head. Man, Nicholi, it's like you don't feel anything at all." Nicholi watched him with his rust colored eyes and uneasily wiped away a stray trail of blood, "In truth, I don't feel anything. It's difficult to discern truth from lie with humans." Zain gave him a blase look and trotted over to Yuki, "Are we going soon? I'm tired of being here and my friends'll be worried if I don't show up in time." Zero and Nicholi nodded, "We'll just stay here for a while. Don't worry, we won't spend the night. I've got things to do and Nick has research to get back to."
Terra jerked back as Mage summoned her Keyblade. Nightmare felt confused at the empty echo she got instead of a response from the boy's Keyblade, Mage...I hope you weren't expecting something. There is no voice in this boy's Keyblade. It seems to be...empty. Either it's spirit has not returned or...darkness has taken it. Nightmare gave a mournful sob at the thought. "Hey, I don't want to fight you. I just need to know where my friends are." Roxas flinched as he guided the Gummi ship in to land, "Uh, actually we're here already. I didn't want to disturb you two...and Xion has finally calmed down a little." He glanced at Xion sitting contentedly in a chair and Mickey stood beside Riku. Renee lifted her hand to her face and found it shaking and sweaty. "Where are we?"
Nicholi searched for him while Zero gave a more than tired sigh. He sounded exhausted, "Yuki...we've been over this. We need to know he's progressing as planned. If even one visit is wasted on not monitoring him, we could miss something vital. Where would he hide?" Zain couldn't understand what he meant by vital. He knew the memories he had weren't really his. They were so sad. And he was a grown up in them, not a little boy. Zain poked his white haired head out of the closet and glared at Zero as Nicholi picked him up and cuddled him. "Ugh, lemme go!" Nicholi petted his hair and lifted his arms above his head, "His hair's not falling out and this doesn't hurt. He seems to be doing good. Zain...do you have troule with anything?" A sarcastic grin crossed Zain's little face as he put his hands on his little hips and spoke, "I can't seem to remember where I put my bat." Nicholi still didn't understand sarcasm, "Hmm, perhaps memory loss has advanced in you? Open your mouth." Zain giggled at the shadow's lack of comprehension.
Xenree shot him a semi-cold glare. But gave up halfway through. Being angry at her friends wouldn't solve anything. "Then I guess I'll have to learn to get along with them. If only because you want to do this so much, Orias." When it came to her friends, she knew she had to protect them, and the only way to protect Orias was to stay by his side. Until she could get stronger and protect them all.
Ash noticed her new teammate and jerked back out of her memories as she asked her a question. "Hmm? Oh, well...the more the better. I don't think those monsters are going down easily. I suppose I'll have to buy a couple of horses for us. I wonder how much they pay...?" She drifted back into her thoughts as she walked, barely caring if the two kept up with her. She moved surprisingly quick for a woman who mearly casted spells.
M'kay. Later aligator. lol
It's cool with me. What kind of weapon do you think Kegan should have that Ash could summon?
