Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

​

Needless to say that the heartless were very confused as to why Jim the Battleship Sr had attacked some of their own, but somehow they knew that the attack in question wasn't meant for them and instead towards the keyblade wielder who was still going about and thinning their ranks with ease. In fact, Kel was still going on about and doing this while the heartless seemed to be putting together what had just happened. In fact, two of the Creeper Plants had gotten slain in the process of figuring this out. The nerve of him, attacking while people were thinking, did he not have any manners. Jim the Battleship Sr was offended by this site and fired off another attack. This one was aimed at Kel and seemed like it would strike its target true. The reality was that Kel too had and angled his keyblade as to deflect the cannon fire and struck away the last bit of Creeper Plants. Welp, that did not go the way Jim the Battleship Sr had hoped it would go and he was left in a moment of surprise as all of that. Unfortunately, this gave Kel a golden opportunity to go up to Jim the Battleship Sr and swiftly strike him.

As Faust look at the princess pleading for help he could have never though to turn away the request she gave. He wasn't going to take the request for the money or reward she offered but purely as he thought that this would lead to something that he had not seen before. Just from what he had seen transpire previously tonight was more exciting and interesting than anything he had seen in months. her pure emotions flowing from her words reaffirming his desire to help her on this quest.

Just as he was going to formally offer his help to the princess on her quest to find her sister, suddenly the keyblade wielding guest from the party showed up to join or regroup with the other extremely interesting members of the coronation. Faust wasn't really sure at this point who knew who, only that with every passing second things got more interesting. Turning to the new arrival in the gathering around the princess giving him a light-hearted wave and introducing himself to the man "Hello there! The name's Faust. Its a pleasure to meet you. Your also here to help out the princess in finding her sister right?" offering out a hand to other man.

 

​

Having the group back together with Beuce coming down the mountain, it seemed like now they could figure out what it was they needed to do. Anna was asking them to help find Elsa, but luckily they also were looking for her for their own sake. Although it didn't help when Anna went into the whole "she's my only family" and stuff, since it was a sore spot for Ignis. Now there was a bit of her that almost felt obligated to help this person. Though hearing there'd be a reward at the end also added some incentive.

As Faust introduced himself to the others, she put her arm on his shoulder. "Okay, so aside from being a part of the party staff, and wanting to help, is there any other reason we should bring you? You do realize that we'll be going into the mountains in the middle of a blizzard, right? You understand how dangerous that'll be? Not too mention, you don't even look like you could carry yourself up half a mountain. Are you sure you're not just following me?"

 

​

Through a series of interesting events, the entire group of Creepy plant heartless had been removed from the battle all together. Surprising yes, but very beneficial for them, in the long run, all things considered. Kel remained on guard due to the other groups of heartless that were still around and about, ready to attack at any moment. He then felt a small breeze that by itself was nothing much to mention at first, but the same breeze was felt from four different direction, which was a cause for notice. All around the keyblade wielder were small blue heartless wearing heartless, all of which were spinning about in a circle. Each spin that they had made seemed to generate a small amount of wind. That aspect didn't seem all that threatening to be honest and despite them having the clear numbers advantages, they were waiting and attacking in drones of at least four and no more. It was always when the heartless had chosen to behave like that that made Kel perplexed about them. Taking into account all of the heartless that he's come across and vanquished, Kel still found it odd how rare it was for a mass group of heartless to just outright swarm them in particular. They seemed to have no troubles in doing that when it was Koucom. Maybe it was the keyblade that they from doing so. Would explain a few of the instances of this occurring, but not all of them. This was just speculation anyway and did not change the fact that these heartless had still yet to do anything while Kel was pondering this for probably the second or third time. At this rate, he might as well just go about and striking them down with his keyblade. Which, after a quick glance at his keyblade, he did exactly that. making sure to whack Jim the Battleship Sr once for good measure before finishing.

Luna skated around the other enemies as her teammates went into battle. One by one the swarm of heartless were growing smaller and smaller by the minute. Luna stopped in her tracks and looked over the battlefield for a moment for her next move. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw some heartless run over to a mother and her child. "No!" The key wielder had made another path of ice for herself. She raced over as fast as she could. Before the heartless could attack, Luna surrounded her body with crystal barriers, dashing into the heartless and immediately eliminating it. Three more heartless ran toward her. She readied her blade and charged toward them. She held her blade up against her and mines had then surrounded her. The heartless had continued their charge, unaware of the trap she had set. With one step, the mines around her had set off, turning the heartless into nothing but dust. Luna raced back to the mother and child and looked over them to make sure there were no injuries. She then led them to a safe place before returning to the battlefield.

As Faust was wanting for a reply from the keyblade wielder he felt a hand resting on his shoulder. Looking over he saw Ignis resting her hand on his shoulder asking him about what he could contribute to the princess's search party. Turning his attention to her never losing the smile on his face Faust contemplated what say to her question. After a few seconds he realized what he should answer with. "Well, maybe this help my case" Raising his left hand up to about eye, briefly he channeled a bit of his magic into his palm. Sparks of electricity began to dance along his open palm lighting up his face in a warm yellow glow. Before the sparks started dying down the arcs of electricity began acting erratically jumping from hand lashing out back at Faust singeing his hair slightly as he winced when the arcs connected with his face. "Pretty shocking right? haha.." after a few seconds the arcs of electricity faded away leaving his palm empty once again. "Haven't tried that little trick in while so i guess I'm a little rusty. Though I have one of these like our friend over there" as he said that he quickly summoned his keyblade into his empty hand.

 

​

He had been clearly talking more about the storm when he had told Faust to be careful. 'You must not have seen snow before in your life.' This little bit was nothing compared to what he had seen before. Anna then started talking about the snow and why it could not be something else. Well the first thing that came to mind was it might be less fun. Anna then asked them to take her up the mountain. He could see getting her to stay back was not a option. She said something about the kingdom rewarding handsomely. It was a nice offer but that was not why they were doing this. That was when Beuce had showed up. "Beuce were you able to see anything?" He was hoping for something other then snow as an answer but was not expecting much other then that answer. Shortly after that Ignis said, 'Okay, so aside from being a part of the party staff, and wanting to help, is there any other reason we should bring you? You do realize that we'll be going into the mountains in the middle of a blizzard, right? You understand how dangerous that'll be?' He did not know what to say, moments ago he had said the same thing. Regardless now that the three of them were together they might as we get going. "I suggest we see if we can find some supplies before we head up." There had to be a shop somewhere and going not prepared could end up killing someone. Then something happened and Faust used magic which was not all that surprising although he had never seen someone without a keyblade use magic before. Then something unexpected happened and Faust summoned a keyblade. This could be good or really bad. After all the last person that showed up with a keyblade had tried to kill them. "A keyblade wielder. So how did you end up here?" He was some what interested in that story.

 

"Unfortunately, stratagems in whatever group I'm with usually are just 'Hit it until it dies, is incapacitated, or otherwise is no longer a problem.' Not to say we didn't use any actual battle plans of course, but..." As steel shot off another thunderbolt or two at his opponent he had a sudden realization. "It's either that or just... I usually get delegated to hitting things? I'm actually not to certain of how many times I've actually been involved in a rescue, but I feel relatively certain that every time it boiled down to hitting stuff. Hold on... how long has it been? I'm not sure I remember everything that's even happened since we started this quest." Steel launched off another Ice crystal as he pondered this.

"Does anyone else feel like that? Like it's been way longer than it should have been and their memories are sort of hazy?" He abruptly shook his head at his own statement. "Nevermind I'm going off on a tangent. Look, I'll keep shooting magic at him and someone else can try giving him a hard time from another angle. We'll distract him, and someone else can try and sneak up and free Lilo. How does that sound?" It was a good start to a plan at least.

Aux started to ask what their plan was. Ananta stopped and held her keyblade, starting to wonder. She considered her options and looked at the two of her party members that were actively fighting. Aux had his brute strength and Steel had his speed. With her magic, they would be fine on that front for a little bit. Nodding to herself, Ananta looked to her left and right at Aux and Steel. "I have an idea, but it's gonna take a lot of cooperation." she started off. "First, we need somebody to stun Gantu. Aux can probably do that. Maybe even just distracting him will be enough." she said. "Then, we need somebody to make him trip somehow. I'll set down some mines and maybe that can do some serious damage."

Her eyes gazed back at the alien. "I just hope maybe I can do some damage now before you guys start!" she called out, rushing forward. From her right hand, Fire came forth and burned at Gantu. Her keyblade struck at his skin, causing no physical harm that she could see. Ice came forth from her hand this time, freezing Gantu somewhat. She gave him a few more strikes to his head before she jumped back, looking down at her feet. She had dodged a swing from Gantu doing so, so she looked at the rocks that littered the ground with other debris from the beachgoers.

Ananta reached down and grabbed bottles and a couple of cans, a smirk drawn across her face. She lobbed a few at Gantu, hearing the low clunking caused by the impact upon his skin. When she ran out of ammo, she ran off in order to try and dodge an attack.

​

While he waited for Faust to answer Anna said something about going to get warmer clothes. Anna might be royal authority but she had no clue what they had been though which might be for the best. He followed Anna into the Wandering Oaks Trading Post and Sauna. He quickly changed clothes getting back into what he normally had on. Now he was ready for anything. He walked out and joined the others that no doubt had followed them into the Wandering Oaks Trading Post and Sauna.

 

​

As Ignis was still trying to decide if they should take Faust along, it seemed Anna found it a good enough idea. So much so that she actually had to "command" them to bring him along. Ignis had to cover her mouth a little as she began to laugh slightly, being amused by the princess trying to act higher than she's used to. Plus it just didn't seem to fit her personality. Plus, hearing her mutter "cold, cold, cold" right after giving a command to find warmer clothes made it only more amusing to her. If nothing else, this was going to be amusing. The princess was way out of her depth, but she certainly seemed stubborn enough.

"Well, you heard the 'acting ruler' over there," Ignis motioned toward the store that Anna had gone, "Looks like we have two extra additions to our group for now. I thought the 'plus ones' were supposed to appear at the party not after? "

She turned back toward Faust and brought her hand to his shoulder and smiled wickedly, "And since you're the newest member, you can take care of our little princess friend, especially since it seems like you wanted to play at being on her castle staff. And if you pull any bad lines on her or me, I promise you you'll wish you wouldn't live to regret it."

Kel continued to hack and slash his way through the small amount of heartless, their numbers have become much more noticeable smaller. As in other than the three battleships that were still floating about doing nothing, mostly nothing, and four tornados steps. This all felt pretty easy all things considered and it wasn't because they had suddenly been promoted to the rank of masters. These particular batch of heartless were nothing all that special and Kel knew that these thoughts could lead overconfidence and that could lead to getting his butt handed to him, but that didn't seem to be that case in this instance. Not a single bit of damage had been done to him and he still hands energy to spare in this fight. He hadn't even really used any magic yet, despite Luna skating around again and Aislinn had had a mini transformation of her own for this fight. Kel himself had nothing like that he could really do for this that wouldn't be either a job transformation or just using his aura. So he stuck to what he knew best, sword fighting, or keyblade fighting. Either way, it was pretty much done the same as what he had learned back home.

Luna looked around for anymore heartless that might have been lingering. After several moments, she knew it was time to take the battle to the last three heartless standing. Luna took a deep breath before charging in for an attack. She aimed her keyblade at one of the battleships, for it was growing weaker and weaker. "I think it's time for you to cool down a little!!" Ice began gathering at the tip of her blade. Once the ice had charged up, she fired the Blizzaga spell. The ice immediately hit the battleship heartless, damaging it greatly. "It's almost down!!"

Beuce shook out the cold from the blizzard. He didn't exactly know who this new addition was, but he shook his hand. Beuce, slightly confused, took the handshake and returned it. Apparently his name was Faust. "Beuce." He replied. He shook his head at AJ when asked if he found anything. "Not much. The blizzard was too dense to get far. Though, from higher up I could see a lot of ice forming all at once. I couldn't make out what it was, and it was still forming, but I'd be that's where we'll find our princess." Before he had a chance to say much else, Ignis brought up the fact that Faust was going to follow them into dangerous territory.

Faust, however, countered this point by revealing that he too was a keyblade wielder. This immediately raised a few red flags for him. There were a lot of vagrant keyblade wielders that weren't part of the order or their academy on central haven. Hell, their group was mostly comprised of them. But that didn't rule out the possibility of him being sent after them by No Heart. Beuce narrowed his eyes at Faust, almost wanting to ignore Anna's "Command" and refuse the help, but he sighed. "Alright. Lets go. We are going to need warmer clothes unless we all want to huddle around Ignis like a walking campfire." ​

 

​

Ignis was still outside as she watched Anna through the window, looking out towards the mountain. She was probably more appropriately dressed for the cold than Ignis, but at least Ignis had some previous experience living in a much colder region. To be fair, she was slightly chilly, but it was no more to her than a gust of wind blowing on a nice spring day; at least, that's how it felt for the moment. Maybe if it got colder it might be more of a concern, but Ignis would rather just deal with the problem sooner than wait for that to happen.

At this point she had gotten a little tired of waiting and began walking towards the edge of town toward the mountain, figuring she'd at least wait there and get a better view of what was going on.
