Kingdom Hearts: Chasing Shadows

ooc: We can fix that.

A boy in black dropped in front of Carrie. Standing, he opened pale blue eyes and blinked up at Carrie. He came a head shorter than her and white hair fell into his eyes. Brushing it away impatiently, he shoved Carrie aside, summoning a Keyblade into his hand, alert for Heartless. He shyly glanced over his shoulder at her and relaxed all in one fluid movement. "I'm sorry..." he mumbled quietly, "I thought there would be more..." His voice was soft and quiet, not yet having hit his own voice change.

Yuffie came barrelling down the street, hollering, "SEI! Where'd you go?! Sei!? Heeeeeeey!" She skidded to a stop and waved frantically at Carrie and the little boy. "Sei, Carrie!"

Xenree ignored the boy and snapped her fingers. A giant Unversed twirled down onto the street. It looked like a Conductor with a drumset, trumpet and tamberene circling it. The music it conducted was terrible. Xenree half turned to watch the fight unfold, curious and cautious.

 

Rat leapt backwards in shock at the appearance of the giant unversed, completely forgetting that he was standing on the Griffon. He fell to the ground with a loud thud, and losing his concentration the Griffin dissappeared in the same flash of light it had appeared in. His spear clattered to the ground, a short distance away. He got up quickly and grabbed it, rubbing his right shoulderblade at the same time. "Well, that was unexpected" he said quietly. He whistled as he looked at the giant unversed. Whoever summoned this has gotta be good he thought. He turned to look at Poke. "Think it's friendly?" he questioned.

 

Carrie looked at the boy curiously. She hadn't seen him around Radiant Garden before. Then Again... It's not like she tried looking for people-there were so many people in general that she only really knew the people who were in the Restoration Committee.
"Who are you?" She asked kindly and curiously. "And there's no need to apologize, It's not like I'm hurt or anything,"
She let her keyblade fall and disappear into nothing. There was no danger anymore. There was only herself, Yuffie and the boy.
"So?" She said once again. "Who are you?"

 

Sei let his Keyblade disappear and turned to face Carrie, nervously he kept his head down as he spoke in soft tones, "My name is Sei." Yuffie stopped beside him and ruffled his hair, "Oh I'm glad you're alright. You took off in such a hurry. Carrie, this is Sei, he's the new member of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee. Isn't he adorable?" Sei blushed and shook her hand off his head. "I felt Heartless...as I do now...in other worlds." Yuffie stared at him like he'd spoken another language.

The Unversed waved it's baton and the drumset started pounding on the ground, sending shockwaves toward Rat and Poke.

Xenree smirked slightly and thought, Unversed...friendly? These are inexperienced Keyblade wielders... I've no time to waste on what's barely a challenge. But...with a little provoking...they could grow stronger.

 

Sora pondered for a moment. "I guess it's a good place to start," Sora commented. For Sora, it felt like he was being pulled to go to Twilight Town, like he was meant to go there.

Kirra wasn't quite sure if she was dreaming or if this was all really happening. Gliding on her Keyblade through space, she felt as if it were driving itself. Every few minutes, a new enemy would try to knock her off, but she was able to dive right into it. She felt it speed up as it was approaching an unknown world. As she fell back into the atmosphere, she looked out into the ocean that she was now facing. She zoomed passed a number of islands, nervous about her descent. She was gliding on the water at a comfortable speed, her Keyblade guiding her to one of the Islands that seemed cut off from the rest. She could somewhat see two figures standing on the shoreline.

 

Poke covered his ears at the terrible music. "Even I can play better than that!" He yelled out, before singing in an attempt to prove it. "You put your brave Steve in, you put your trippy Bob out, you let Bait get eaten and then shake Jon all about! That's how you kill wogs, POW!" Poke finally relaxed for a brief moment as the horrible sounds stopped. His relaxation left and was then replaced with alertness. When the shock waves came, Poke smirked. "Not really, but we can try and make friends with it..." Poke jumped on to a building, avoiding the shock wave, while finished his sentence. "...my way." He gripped tightly on his blade, before jumping down towards the Unversed--only to stop right in front of it and front-flip over it, holding the blade by the chain, letting it slide down in an attempt to hit the unversed in the face/head. "You better at least beat me or be a challenge!" He yelled at the Unversed.

 

"Little...eager there" Rat said calmly. He was knocked off his feet by the shockwave. Once again, he let go of his spear, and once again he grabbed it. He had no tactical mind for battle, he had very little experience in actual battle, so he let instinct guide him. With a loud roar, he raised the spear and held it in front of him as he ran straight at the unversed's feet, attempting to stab them with the spear. He was already forming a mental image in his mind, just in case he needed it.

 

The Conductor took their hits with durability and swung out with the drum sticks and knocked Rat and Poke away from it. The trumpet took it's turn blaring terrible music.

Xenree relaxed against the wall, petting a Flood Unversed. "Keyblade wielders...such a pathetic lot."

 

Poke got knocked back and crashed against a building, before hearing that dreadful music again. Falling to the ground, he groaned. "AAAaaauuuuughhhhaaaaaahhhhh!" Obviously frustrated, he got up, and threw his keyblade at the trumpet. "Die die die!"

 

Carrie smiled once more as Yuffie ruffled his hair. He was quite cute-though Carrie was able to guess that he was younger then her. He looked younger and even sounded younger.
"Nice to meet you," Said Carrie with a great smile. "I'm Carrie," When Sei said something about feeling the heartless she raised her eyebrows.
"What do u mean by that?"

 

As Nikolai was about to reach the Sandlot, he saw a giant Unversed attacking other Keyblade Wielders. He felt the natural need to go help them, but something - something dark - was holding him back. In his head he could hear the voice of Maleficent speaking to him. "You wouldn't want to fight one of your own, would you? I thought I taught you better than that, Nikolai." The voice said. Nikolai shook off the feeling and charged in. The unversed had just knocked another wielder into a building, that wielder then got up and threw his keyblade at one of the Unversed's instruments. "The instruments must be it's source of power...It's where the awful music is coming from, anyway." Nikolai thought as he brought himself into the fray. Raising his Keyblade towards the sky, Nikolai cast a spell. "Black Thunder!" He called. A thick bolt of black lightning struck the violin, distorting the already pitiful sounding music emanating from it.

 

Sei cast his light silver eyes up to Carrie's face, "I mean...I can feel their prescence. They're everywhere."

A jolt of anger spurred in Xenree's blood and she absorbed the Unversed in a sweep of her arm before the black thunder could hit and Keyblade collide with it. She pushed off the wall and folded her arms arrogantly. "Keyblade wielders...no matter they be mage, Summoner, or a normal fighter, they're all the same. Boring, dull, pathetic, stupid, annoying, and...did I mention stupid?" She laughed quietly to herself with a black gloved hand over her mouth.

 

OOC: Is Renee still being attacked by heartless and unversed.

 

Carrie narrowed her eyes and too stared at him like he had spoken another language. Was this kid serious? Could he really feel the presences of the Heartless? Carrie wondered if he could feel the presences of regular humans too- like Lea and Isa...
"How?" Carrie wondered. "And," She close her eyes deciding weather or not to ask the young boy. "Can you sense certain humans too?"

 

"Stupid?!" Rat exclaimed. He did his usual summoning routine of spinning the spear and slamming it into the ground, and in a flash of light a small rabbit appeared. It held, in its tiny paws, two very small knives and hopped on its rear legs. "Allow me to introduce you to my small friend here. He might look sweet and innocent, but lets see how long it takes you to bring him down" he said with a sly wink.

 

Nikolai turned to the person who insulted the wielders. "You call us pathetic, yet you stand here, watching and laughing, as we're getting attacked!?" Nikolai said. He turned back to the other wielder, "You and your...rabbit can take care of her. I'll take out this annoyance." Nikolai said, pointing to the Unversed with his Keyblade.

 

Alexander and Nox were locked in combat. Alexander was surprised by how well the hooded figure was able to deflect all of his attacks. For a second, he believed that the figure was able to read his mind. "Who are you," Alexander ordered out of the hooded man as their Keyblades clashed against each other.

"I am the piece that is missing," Nox said in a low tone. "I exist for no reason, so why else should anything else exist as well." Nox seemed to be uninterested in the battle, as the two of them struggled with his Keyblade against Alexander's. Nox knew what he was in comparison to Alexander, meaning that he knew exactly how he would fight. His focus lingered to the bushes, where he saw a small glimmer of light. "It would seem that you have back up. And I thought that this would be a fair fight. No matter; I can easily even the score."

From the ground rose a dark creature the size of Nox, although slightly wider. It was a Heartless that had the ability over fire. In an instant, he struck fireballs out into the forest, setting the entire place ablaze.

Kirra was slowing down as she directed her Keyblade away from the two figures on the island. She reached the shore, her Keyblade turning back to normal and then disappearing at her side. The smell of salt water wasn't something that she was used to, but it felt familiar to her. She slowly walked the beach, wanting to get a closer look at the figures that she saw a while ago.

 

ooc: Yeah, I get caught up with Xenree. ^^ Oh and HeartlessOfLight, do you read my posts or just skim them?

bic:

Sei shook his head, "No. Only Heartless, and if I try...Nobodies too. But I wouldn't call them humans anymore."

Xenree sobered and glared at them, "Yes, stupid. Your pathetic summon is worthless. I'll show you a true summon!" Snapping her fingers through her black gloves, Xenree created a glowing purple circle and out from it sprang an odd looking Heartless. It resembled a human with long black claws and it's face hidden in shadows. Crossing her arms again, Xenree chuckled at Nikolai's words. "Of course I laugh. I am, after all, the one who will bring these worlds into an age of darkness." Touching her hand to the wall, she created a dark corridor and slipped through it.

 

Carrie filched when she heard him call nobodies not human. She had heard rumors from the townspeople about a redhead who was with the Organization 13, who were defeated by Sora two years ago. She had never seen them herself so she wouldn't believe the possibility of that... Of Lea being a nobody... because that meant he was gone... And Carrie couldn't deal with that... That he was dead... She sighed and her smile fell a bit.
"Alrighty then," She said simply, sighing once again.

 

He was about to tell the newcomer no, before Xenree slipped away. "Hm...My answer now is, NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO-WAAAH!" He yelled out dramatically, before re-summoning his keyblade. He held his keyblade up in to the air, before the spikes on it glew white. Poke then charged towards the Unversed head on, before jumping towards it, gripping his keyblade to the side. He attempted to slash through it's body 'epicly', like in the part where Sora slices through a building during the final stage to get to Xemnas.
