Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

​

As he had started following the knight, Stratos looked over to see that Steel had been accompanying him as well, to which he just waved to him and said, "hey there. Nice to see that no problems happened in your transit here." After that, the boy looked forward, watchign what was transpiring with his white haired friend. Letting out a combination of both a sigh and a chuckle, Stratos brought his face to his palm as he said, "you know we can still see you right?" After that, the trio had continued to move forward and follow after the knight Phoebus down a large, winding staircase before they were met with a rather unpleasant looking fellow who went by Frollo, made only more so by the group happening to find him in a dungeon of all places. As the two began to converse, Stratos followed behind as there seemed to be some kind of issue in this world of "Paris."

As he looked outside to see who these "gypsies" were, Stratos was briefly equally as curious and baffled as the knight when it came to what the problem actually was. While Stratos could not immediately see anything wrong with these gypsies, Frollo seemed to insist that they were a plague upon the world. As Stratos turned to look at the man, his expression became more serious as he saw darkness flicker off the man while he went on a demonstration through killing ants. Stratos was a bit concerned as to what it meant as he said, "what the-?" However, before the boy could finish the darkness had disappeared off his person. Phoebus seemed to not take note of it all, leading Stratos to think that this was just one of the perks of being in the UG. Looking to the rest of the party, knowing what he did about heartless, the boy simply said, "well that's dangerous. Both for him and everyone else."

 

Xara was jogging along the streets towards the shipyard when she heard a voice speaking through the player pin. "WHOA!" She jumped and glanced down at it, grabbing it with her fingers to have a look at it. Turned out it was Baymax, the marshmallow robot thing. He was reaching out to the RG team to help Hiro out.

Xara smiled sadly as the message ended. "I know what personal loss is like," she reminisced, looking over at the RG players in her group. "My parents died when I was a little kid. I really didn't have anyone til I met this old swordsman master who I called Master Leo... He taught me how to handle a sword and how to fight... but then he left me too."

Remembering the events at the Catsle of Illusion was too bitter at the moment. Xara sniffed and rubbed at her eye, smiling big to cover up the sadness. "Well, uh, awkward. Kinda creepy he could find us so easily with our DNA or whatever... but it's kinda cool too. But yeah! Microbots! Let's get back to it."

She then bounded off, only to slow down again when she got to the first pile of crates at the docks, remembering how Hiro was scared of the man that was said to control these things. She summoned her keyblade, just in case, and began to have a look around.

 

​

Luna listened as Aislinn and Ananta spoke before another voice spoke out as clear as day. Luna turned around and saw a colorful clown put on what was a theatrical story telling show. He spoke of a bell tower and its mysterious bell ringer. He continued to speak about the bell ringer and his disfigured appearance. Luna listened intently to Clopin's story before turning toward the Bell tower. "I don't know about you guys but I'm going to check out that bell tower. His story has me interested in this mysterious bell ringer." Luna kept her eyes on the tower as she spoke to Aislinn and Ananta before making her way to the tower.

 

​

Ananta had followed along with Aislinn and Luna when she stopped. She looked forward at all the people gathering around and cheering. Many were dressed oddly and looked like their own kind of monster. But if they were the monsters they were tasked with defeating, that was something a bit too easy.

Though, behind her, she heard a voice and turned to see a clown. He told a quick story about some type of monster in the bell tower. He pointed off and Ananta looked up. "Do you think that's Notre Dame?" she said, watching Luna hurry off. "I'm following her, then." Ananta said, walking after Luna.

 

​

Right when they had almost gotten to the dock, there was a sudden beeping that had come from his player pin. Suddenly, Baymax was speaking to them through the player pin. Just how he managed to do that, he didn't know nor did he even know that the pin could even function like that to begin with. By the end of his explanation, Kel was more trying to figure out just how it was that he'd gotten their dna.

As for the notion of personal loss, he didn't really have much to say on that subject. Beyond just giving out encouragement and other things alone those kinds of things, not muhc else that he really knew how to do on that subject. "We'll just have to come up with some means of helping him out when we regroup with them." Having said that, he followed behind Xara towards the docks. Specifically the first crate of boxes.

 

Glen was barely listening to the responses of his companions. The moment he'd seen the pain in Hiro's eyes he had entered a state of mopeiness and maximum edge. He, too, knew the pain of loss, and he knew it well. The fact that he'd literally seen his father die in the last world only made the words Hiro spoke resonate within the young keyblade wielder. "Yeah, yeah...catching the masked guy would definitely help.." he said, allowing his voice to trail off. He wasn't going to allow his feelings to get in the way of the mission, but keeping a clear mind was going to be difficult. "Should probably get started on that" he said. Before Hiro continued, Glen phased through the door and made a move down the staircase. Maybe smelling some delicious chicken wings would raise his mood, even if he couldn't eat it.​

 

​

Andrew turned to Xara Who seemed to be saying something about overwhelming Hiro. Yea he thought. He looked down to microbot that Hiro have gave him and it seemed to be pointing in a direction. It looked like there was nothing to do but follow it. He walked off and started to walking in the direction that the microbot was pointing in. He spotted some water a bit off and the microbot seemed to be taking them towards the body of water. He continued to walk and seemed to be close to the docks now. The microbot seemed to be pointing in this direction so the rest of them had to be here somewhere. That was when he could her a noise and he pulled out his pin. A voice came out. 'Hello. This is Baymax. Hiro's personal healthcare companion. Hiro is currently suffering the loss of his older brother and my creator; Tadashi Hamada. I have contacted his friends to help him recover from his personal loss. Treatments include contact with his friends and loved ones. When we meet again, you will get lolipops.' That was the strangest thing yet. Baymax was able to contact them somehow. Baymax was a robot after all he gueesed that maybe it was programed to all sorts of things.


That was one interesting robot. Hiro lost someone important to him and he could relate to that. He had lost his how world and everything important to him. There were not far from the docks and Hiro said to wait for him there. There was one question on his mind now, what favor lolipops were they going to get? He wondered if what he said to Hiro would do anything. He somehow knew that it would somehow go unnoticed what he said. He tuned to Xara when she said, 'My parents died when I was a little kid.' It seemed that everyone lost something that be a person or a world. Did everywhere they went end in some tragedy? He decided not to say anything to Xara. He walked and spotted a book on the ground Dreamer's book but how did it get here? He picked it up without thinking much about it. He would have to worry about how the book showed up another time. He put the book away in his bag for now. He continued to walk when, Kel said, 'We'll just have to come up with some means of helping him out when we regroup with them.' He looked at the others, "It seems like a odd place to have the rest of the microbots." He looked around and did not spot anywhere the microbots might be. "It is a really strange place to hold microbots. You would think that you would want to keep it as far away from water a possible, but that might be why they are because it would be the last place someone would look for them." He looked around to see if he could stop Hiro but did not see him he guess that he would find them the same way he contacted them by Baymax.

 

Xara glanced over her shoulder at Kel, the guy that remembered her from that weird world where she was a raccoon. "Right. Maybe we can find what he sent us to find for him before he gets here." She said in response to Kel helping Hiro.

She then glanced at A.J. who seemed to come to a conclusion that all the microbots were around here somewhere... somehow. "We don't even know that they're all here," she said with a shrug, looking around while holding her keyblade. "For all we know, we'll probably only find five, or twenty... or maybe the main batch of those thingies are elsewhere and it's a trick." She then noticed something off. "Hey, where did that other girl go?" she asked as she looked behind the rest of the group.

 

​

Andrew stood there when Xara said, 'Right. Maybe we can find what he sent us to find for him before he gets here.' "That might be a good idea considering when we were at the police station Hiro seemed like he was not happy about the microbots being stolen. People generally take things for a reason. So maybe the microbots were taken for some other reason then simply taking them." He himself did not see why someone would want to take them at all in fact he did not even know what they did. "I am thinking that finding them is going to be easier said then done." Xara then said, 'We don't even know that they're all here.' What he said earlier was more of a offhanded comment. 'For all we know, we'll probably only find five, or twenty... or maybe the main batch of those thingies are elsewhere and it's a trick.' "I do not think so, while a smart person would hide them in different places I feel like whoever took the microbots would want to use them. To keep them close for some reason. From what Hiro said at the police station the person who took the microbots was actively using them. As for a trap that would involved said person to know they did not have all the microbots and I do not think that is likely unless they found out about the microbots acting like a magnet. That said it is better safe the sorry and being careful of the unknown is probably best." 'Hey, where did that other girl go?' "Do not know probably went off somewhere. We can look for her once we find out what is going on at the docs."

 

​

Kel was at a loss as to how AJ was coming up with these conclusions. They weren't exactly sure how many microbots were even at the docks and from what he could tell, storage something at the docks seemed like something no one would think twice about given the size of the warehouses here. With a quick shrug of his shoulders, the first thing that Kel said in response to AJ was "Dunno, maybe he's just collecting Microbots." That was another reason to take them. It likely wasn't the reason, but it was still a reason.

"Would it really be smart to hide them all over the place? We have no clue how it is that they work and for all we know they could be practically useless separated." Or this could be false and they actually were kept separate for some form of grand scheme that they didn't know about. Not that they had any way of knowing that right now. Then Xara had mentioned that they were missing someone and a quick look around showed that they were indeed right. "How did we lose someone already? Hopefully she didn't get lost on the way here." Despite the act that they were just supposed to be following the Microbot that Hiro gave them

 

​

Ignis watched as Hiro worked on Baymax in the garage. She was kind of interested in all the different things that were in this world that weren't in hers. She knew what computers were and things like that now, but there was just something different about what she knew, and what she had seen. It was kind of like seeing all those buildings and things in Shibuya, except this was in someone's garage. She wondered what her world had been like before it lost its technology, but at the same time, she was kind of glad she had the use of magic and didn't have to worry about all the nuances of the tech-y stuff as well. As Hiro finished putting on Baymax's armor, she watched as he tried to get Baymax to do a fist bump, and she found it amusing. What was even more amusing to her, though, was Hikaru trying to get Kaida to fist bump, and him acting like a little kid about it. For some reason she couldn't help but let out the smallest of giggles.

As Hiro and Baymax were ready to leave, the UG group followed them and ended up in the middle of some docks, which were surrounded by an annoying amount of fog.

"Oh, yeah, like nothing bad ever happens in the middle of fog." She said sarcastically, waiting for the inevitable to happen.

Surely enough, a guy in a mask came out of the fog on what seemed to be...black water? Ignis tried to look closer, and it was actually an innumerable amount of microbots. The guy in the mask pointed his fingers and the microbots shoved Baymax aside. As this happened, Ignis noticed some kind of heartless behind the man, and it was creating more microbots.

"See, I told you something always happens when there's fog around!" She pulled out her keyblade and ready herself for a fight.

 

​

After Stratos said some brief thoughts on the darkness that had appeared Frollo, the duo didn't seem have much to add and so Stratos merely kept to his thoughts. He followed Frollo and Phoebus as they left the area and had started making their way towards the square. Once they had gotten there, there seemed to be some kind of large performance that was going around here. Seeing that they had no other leads as to where to go, Stratos decided to stay in the square for the time being and just watched as the crowd seemed to be enthralled by the performance of the one gypsy woman, Esmerelda. While she seemed to tease the straight laced and rather foul mood Frollo, the crowd enjoyed it nonetheless and Stratos couldn't help but smile and chuckle at the performance. As the performance continued, Stratos was about as startled as the rest of the crowd when the man named Quasimodo was revealed to them, having never really seen a person like him before. While he had recoiled a bit, he briefly felt sorry for him, being made a clown act of but the man seemed fine with it, leaving Stratos slightly confused on how to feel.

However, he did know how to feel about what transpired next. Watching a bit in horror as the crowd started to pelt him with things, Stratos felt a bit powerless to stop any of it from happening, being in the UG. However, he soon noticed that caught his attention. "Guys! Look," he said to his fellow UG members, drawing out his keyblade as he pointed to the swirling darkness about. Soon the darkness took the shape in the form of the heartless, trying to attempt to blacken the hearts of the people around. Getting his game face on, Stratos noticed his RG partner in the crowd as well and shouted out, "Aislinn! There's heartless here so try to keep things under control out there while we take care of them!" With that, the boy used a Sliding Dash straight at the mob of heartless.

As the microbot that they were following had flown off on its own towards the harbor, Hiro had arrived with Baymax in tow. Now geared up in green armor, the former marshmallow was seemingly ready to assist them. Just in time for the guy in the Kabuki mask had just appeared out of the fog in which the microbot had flown off in. Despite the armor that Baymax was now wearing, he was quickly tossed aside by a a group of microbots and the masked man seemed to have more ready to throw at them. "How exactly are we supposed to hit this guy!?" From where they were they couldn't just go up and hit the guy and even if they did have some way of closing the gap to him, there was still all those microbots that was under their command.

Striking through the wave of heartless, Stratos felt odd. His keyblade passed through the shadow, like a hot knife through butter, and effortlessly dispersed it. As he looked around to see more shadows prowling about Stratos tossed his keyblade with strike raid to break through them as they attempted to leap at the people in the crowd. As the keyblade made quick work of them, Stratos looked over to see a heartless over his shoulder. A purple creaturewith a jagged maw and bat like wings, the gargoyle heartless swept downward with claws raised in an attempt to slash at the keyblade wielder. While he saw the attack coming at him, Stratos felt as though there was no way he would be able to dodge it in such a short period of time. However, despite taking the moment to think this, his body had reacted, moving faster than the claw could swipe and the boy managed to dodge out of the way in time. Summoning his keyblade back to his hand, the boy coated it in flame as he struck out with a fire strike, eliminating it in one fell swoop. Standing up from the attack, he continued to have this odd feeling about him, but kept his keyblade gripped tightly as he turned to face the next set of heartless.

Watching the singing and dancing, Ananta clapped along. She was enjoying the show and really liked all the crazy things the people had come up with. Especially the trio who exchanged heads. Now that was a funny sight. Although, she was soon distracted by the jester singing once more about someone named Esmerelda. In a puff of smoke, the jester disappeared and a woman was left in his place, dancing around and entrancing the crowd. Ananta was amazed at how easily she moved, rushing over to a man sitting on a throne, who just watched up until that point. She chuckled at the reaction from the man and turned back to the dancer.

Esmerelda soon disappeared and the jester was back, singing about some new king being crowned. "Ugly?" she tilted her head. "Maybe this is how we'll see the monster...." Ananta thought, crossing her arms. On the stage, a line of contestants were being butted off, one by one, until Esmerelda started to try and remove the 'mask' of the last one. Ananta listened to the horrified gasps of the crowd and she had a feeling that this was the monster that they had to deal with. But, how was he a monster? He sure looked monsterous, but that wasn't something that neccessarily meant he was a monster.

Ananta shrugged and watched them carry him off to a smaller stage in the crowd. But soon, the cheering turned into jeering as fruit started to fly and people were trying to tie down Quasimodo. "No!" Ananta yelled, fighting her way through the crowd and trying to get to him. Aislinn was already there and deflecting some fruit, but Ananta was busy enough getting blocked out by the crowd.

He started to examine what it was that felt off about him right now. His attacks had more impact. His body felt lighter. He was able to react to enemies with more ease now. Briefly thinking on it, Stratos couldn't understand where it was that he got this sudden surge of strength from, but it was something that he wasn't complaining about. As he saw a few other gargoyle heartless flying about in the air, he noticed that they were about to dive bomb the crowd and strike at them. Not wanting the people to be consumed by them, Stratos took in a deep breath, trying to keep a level head as cherry blossoms began to flutter around in the air. Soldiers were frolicking towards people throwing fruit, Gargoyles dive bombing, shadows rising up to strike from underneath. He saw them all, and in an instant, they all stopped. Appearing beyond a section of the crowd, Stratos's blade had moved positions and a large slash had appeared across all the heartless he had seen. As time began to move once again, the heartless were motionless as their bodies were split in two, exploding and leaving nothing but wisps of darkness in their place.

Xara was about to respond to A.J. when things started to get a little weird. The fog, the guy in the mask, Baymax's new armor, and those little bitty things being made into waves of tenticals and moved at just a flick of the wrist.

"Heads up!" She gritted her teeth as she gripped her keyblade, rolling away from the first wave, and slashing at another one. She gasped when she noticed the microbots broke apart, only to be put back together again. She blocked another hit, and then rolled off of that, slashing at another one trying to throw her off. "Can anyone jump super high?" She called out as she swung her keyblade once more at the microbots. She made her way back to Kel, blocking yet another assault. "I know there's only three of us on this side, but we gotta try to confuse the guy somehow." She grunted as she sidestep another blow, only to circle back to Kel. "Got any ideas? Magic? Special, nn, fighting attack thingies?"
