For a while now, Beuce had been doing some thinking about their mission. "Defeat the monster, save the man". He was certain that it wouldn't be quite so black and white as it sounded. This was the mark of mastery. If it were easy, there'd be no point to it. It was probably metaphorical in some way or another, but he didn't have even close to enough information to figure it out. Soon enough, he heard his partner calling out his name. Beuce gave Luna a quick tap on the shoulder to signify that he was indeed there. He had to admit, being completely unnoticed by anyone other than Luna, Stratos, and Steel was a little odd. It was like he was watching the world from the background, unable to interact with it or be noticed by it. In other words, he'd finally perfected his Kel cosplay. Joining the other UG members in following the knight, he flipped his cape and rolled along the ground, "Ba na na Baa na na" Beuce hummed an acapella theme of some variety. It was horribly off tune, and not at all recognizable as any sort of spy music. He tiptoed around, trailing behind Pheobus. Whenever someone walked by, he clung to the wall, as if to hide against it and appear part of it. Needless to say, if anyone could see him at all, it would've looked incredibly stupid and drawn more attention to him than anything.
Beuce listened intently to the rules of the game. The RG and UG concept honestly caught him by surprise. He hadn't expected to be there to be two versions of each world. Soon enough, the partners were announced. He was to be accompanying the white haired princess herself. She gave a friendly greeting and offered her hand out for a handshake. "Yeah, damn it has been a while. SInce...Wonderland probably. Oh jeez that seems like years ago." He said accepting her gesture. "Yeah. That sounds fine. You can be the people person. Just leave the combat to me." He said affirming their roles in the upcoming trial. From what he remembered, Luna was a pretty competent person, so he was happy with the selection.
Finally, they could see the light! Seeing that there was someone else who shared in his joy, dropped down onto his knees and put his glass arm around Xara. "I know right! It's fantastic!" He began to shake her back and forth in excitement as he yelled to the sky. "I never thought i was going to see daylight again! Man i hate the realm of darkness! It doesn't even have daytime. The realm of light has nighttime, but that place doesn't have daytime! Don't they even know what equivalent hours means?" He continued on his rant from earlier about how miffed he was that the realm of darkness didn't follow his standards about the lighting which hours should have. Standing back up from his momentary bout of sky yelling. He cleared his throat and regained his composure. "Right. Mark of Mastery. Death game." Now that that was over, he waited for events to proceed.
Beuce didn't even need to think about it. He'd been planning to do this from the start, and it just happened to line up with his intentions. "Well, aren't I a lucky duck. Getting out of here also coincidentally involves becoming a keyblade master? Hey Kaida, looks like we'll be able to go after those guardians sooner than we thought." He gave her a pat on the shoulder, and a reassuring nod. "I can tell you that the more think about what if, the more likely it is to happen. Don't worry. The difference between this time and last time, now you've got a partner. Even if you don't think that you can do it, you'll have someone else there to pick up the slack. So don't think about what happens if you fail. Just think about how you're going to carry your end, and trust your partner will do their job. Believe me, we'll all make it through here in one piece. And when we do, we'll take out the hellfire club, the guardians, the apprentices, no heart, all of them. We've proven that we got stronger already just by beating Mizrabel. We're only going to keep growing from here on, so all we gotta do is keep our eyes forward." It occurred to him no one actually answered the blonde kid's question. He began to count on his fingers, muttering numbers under his breath. "There's six members of the hellfire club left...No Heart and his apprentices are four...So, Ten that we know of...? Yeah. Ten i think. Ten? Ten. Yeah. Probably ten."
Who the hell did this chick think she was? Some slack was the last thing they needed? Beuce, clearly quite upset with Yue, walked up with a sour expression on his face. "Excuse me but, I have a question. Did everyone in the order just take turns systematically pissing in your cheerios before the fall happened or what? Some slack is the last thing we need? What exactly do you think we've just had happen to us? I'll tell you what. It started hitting the fan when we fought off a literal army of heartless defending YOUR BASE. Which, by the by, we had nothing to do with. I lost my arm in the fight, and you know what i did? I walked it off." Beuce continued to rant about what a ***** she was being. "Next, we find the person who had been giving us some kind of direction turned himself to stone to prevent knowledge slipping out. Then went on a wild goose chase through some kind of illusory world to find a mouse, and got sucked into a book, almost killed, fought a second army, then defeated another member of the hellfire club. This one had a keyblade. Finally, when we manage to break free, Some witch robs us of our keyblades, strength, skills, everything. We get our asses handed to us by Aux and are thrown into a hellscape of darkness. But did we take it lying down? No. We got back up. We came here, went through our homeworlds, won back our power, and took out the witch that took it. So I'll be damned if after all that, some skank that thinks she's all that because she's a member of the order is going to walk in here and tell me I didn't do good enough because it took all of us to take down Mizrabel." Beuce glared at the woman, obviously less than pleased at her treatment of them.
