Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

​

It seemed like the guy who was running the shots seemed to be losing his patience, and frankly, so was Ignis. It's not like she could tell them that they suddenly teleported from one world to the other; who would even believe that? Thinking it, Ignis rolled her eyes over to Ananta and wondered how it was they somehow found it plausible that she was there while both Faust and herself were being seen as some crazy people. She really just wanted to knock these guys out and get moving, but it wouldn't get them anywhere if she did that.
Sighing, she put her hands up in a "fine, whatever" position, "Look, all I know is I was on a boat, got knocked over, ended up underwater, then found myself here. If you want more, you'll have to learn how to travel to the past and see it yourself, then tell me the story, because I don't know it."
After that she simply stared the Commander down the barrel of his gun, continuing, "Though if you really want to get into a fight about it, I'm more than happy to oblige. Not like it's going to get us anywhere though, seeing as how everyone else would still be down here, just with one less person. Maybe instead of worrying about how we ended up here, we go down that single path and see what's around here, instead of wasting our time doing nothing?" She finished her sentence, pointing to the hole in the wall up the stairs.

 

​

Seeing as Ignis's only real goal at the moment was to try and antagonize the armed militant group before them and Faust found that usually that would lead to some pretty bad situations down the line. He decided that it would probably be best to approach to introduce himself in a less hostile answer especially since this 'Atl..' whatsit sounded like a pretty interesting sight to see. they seemed to have lowered their weapons at he moment but he could see they were just a hair's breath form filling them with holes. Luck might have got him out of more than his fair share of troubles and holes, and into them, in the past but the shear number of armed combatants made him hesitant to ante up against these odds.

Faust still soaked and dripping wet, gave a slight bow form his seated position at the edge of the shore saying "Well, I'm Faust, a traveling preforming magician." for my As he introduced himself coming out the bow he flicked his wrist in what should of been a practiced manner of retrieving a deck of playing cards he kept in his sleeves. instead of a pristine deck being throw into his hands, what came out of his sleeves was a mess of wet cards and a small crab that latched one of it's tiny claws on to his nose. "Hahaha, sorry to give a large crowd like this such a washed up performance. " Faust laughed not seeming to mind the crustacean hanging off of him as he continued pointing to Ignis "seems like me and my friend here got caught in quite the undertow. Last thing I can remember is being dragged down by a really powerful current it must be by some luck that we came out as well as we did."

 

"I'll have to agree with my teammates here." Ananta said, turning around and glaring over the water. She caught a glimpse of something in the water, but she figured it was just another of their own lagging behind. She turned back to her own group and watched Ignis start to immediately flare up in attitude. Ananta tapped her chin a second before she glanced over to Faust and watched him do a poor attempt at being a magician. "Faust, if you want real magic..." she uncrossed her arms and held her hand towards him. An Aeroga spell took over him as it dried him nearly all the way off. "Then at least attempt to use magic." She shrugged and put a hand back on her chest, feeling for her crystal necklace. She played with the stone, thinking to herself. "Probably shouldn't have done that." she mumbled towards Ignis, chuckling awkwardly.​

 

​

There didn't seem to be much getting through to these guys as they continued to be hostile towards the three. Ignis turned around and looked out at the water, and noticed slightly ripples on the surface of the water and got curious. Most of the water seemed pretty still, though maybe it was a fish or something that had gotten near the surface. She decided to keep it in the back of her mind as Faust attempted, very poorly, the do a sleight of hand magic trick. Ananta didn't seem terribly impressed, and then she ended doing something even more crazy; the girl actually chose to show off real magic in front of these guys. Ignis was trying to keep anything strange out of the conversation considering this group of people freaked out at the simple sign of three new people, and now they just witnessed magic. The part about this was that the group had no idea if magic was a thing in this world or not.
"Great, thanks for making things more complicated," Ignis sighed and sat down, not wanting to think about this but having to come up with some way to deal with this "Commander" guy.
As she began pondering, she looked around the cavern, trying to see if there was anything she could make note of. Turning her head back towards the people from this world, she noticed there was a soldier walking out from behind a car. Ignis was sure that these guys wouldn't just walk off when they just met a group of unknown people and pulling weapons on them, and a grunt would most certainly not just walk off to do his own thing while a stalemate was in place. Ignis wondered what was going on and pointed her finger to the guy that had just walked out.
"You know, I think you've got another unexpected guest, and this one's a little closer to home for you I'd say." At this point her gaze was more fixated on the out-of-place grunt than the guy who was demanding answers three feet from her.

 

Beuce struggled fiercely through the waves as the crashed against him. It was little more than a hopeless struggle, but he wouldn't quit nonetheless. As a particularly large wave rolled overhead and crashed into him with what seemed to be the entire ocean, he was pulled helplessly down beneath the tide. He summed his keyblade and thrust it forward, flashing out of reality and cutting upward through the water in an attempt to reach the surface, but he was too deep. With the waves increasing in their force he was only pulled back down the distance he covered, and he was beginning to run out of breath. His vision began to fade, and despite all his protests, his body began to give out on him without oxygen. Finally, he couldn't keep himself conscious any longer.

The next thing he knew, he wearily awoke, sure that he was dead and in some sort of afterlife. Though he still felt his body fairly clearly, so it wasn't like he was in some sort of spirit form or anything. He swept his tail to push himself upright and shook his head. It was at this point he realized he had a tail. He snapped awake and looked down to realize he was now half fish, and could now breathe underwater. Only then did he hear a shout from a voice he never thought he'd be glad to hear. Swimming over he caught a glimpse of three of his companions. At least, he recognized two of them, and the third seemed to be familiar with them. "Hey, glad to see you guys made it off the island alright."​

 

As the White Wolf was inspecting the two blonde kids, he then heard a yell of some sort then left away and into the rocks. He sniffed all around trying to get a sense of where it came from, though the island was small, the Wolf’s senses detected someone else as he was searching. He came across two people; the first was a teenage girl with black hair, light brown skin and a necklace. What was strange about her was that he felt a strong pull of light coming from girl, something that was warm and comforting. The second person was another teenager, this time a boy with blue hair, greenish and cyan clothing and similarly aged to the two teens back with the Maui. The Wolf went over to introduce himself as he walked to the two and sat down in front of them, looking at them with curiosity.

 

Ahh, she knew that was a bad idea. But these military men are a fickle bunch, so Ananta wasn't too pestered by it. Her own world had an army of it's own, but she didn't remember it ever being used. Ananta shrugged when they were ordered to be put in shackles and watched closely. "Gosh, if only we didn't have to be shackled like prisoners when we've done nothing wrong." she commented, glancing at Faust and Ignis. Ignis mentioned a newcomer with the army unit, but Ananta didn't quite pay attention to that. Sure there was a guy who just kind of approached suddenly towards the end of the small conversation, that wasn't really out of the normal anyway.

Her eyes were caught by the odd man who ended up fully removing his mask and helmet, revealing his brown hair. Rourke called him Loire and he seemed really inexperienced by the way he stumbled over his words. Ananta even caught on to the fact he was attempting to compliment her. A smile crept on her face as he shackled her and she had an idea. "Aw, those are some sweet words. I'm flattered, honest." she said, lifting the shackles. "Tell me, let's say you unshackle me when they aren't looking or maybe loosening these up a little bit?" she asked him, talking a bit low. "Either way, I'd deeply appreciate it, Laguna." Ananta did her best to try and make herself look even more attractive for him. "Say, you don't seem to be very experienced in this. Are you new to this whole operation? Tell me more about yourself."​

 

​

Ignis had tried to distract the Commander by pointing out a random person in the group, but it didn't work. Honestly, she didn't even know why she did it, she was just tired of the back and forth of nothing. Roark had ordered the soldier to remove his helmet, and under it was a young guy who seemed to be a little nervous about where he was. He certainly didn't seem the type to be in the military at least. The soldier, Laguna, was ordered to tie up Ananta while some guy next to him tied up Ignis. She wasn't very happy about it, but they weren't exactly trying to get away from this place, so as long as they could get moving somewhere it was better than nothing.

As the guy behind her tied her hands, she began to wonder on why exactly there were so many weapons in this group. The leader guy seemed to be military of some sort, but that Milo person seemed to be a wimp in every sense of the word. It seemed like they were at least looking for something, but did that really require the firepower? It just didn't sit right with her. There were at least a few dozen people that had guns and there wasn't even anything around to use them on. And speaking of which, it seemed like Ananta was speaking to her captor and Ignis figured she might as well try the same.

She turned her head back toward the guy who tied her up, "So do you think you could tell me what it is you guys are doing down here? We're going to be together for a while it seems, might as well get to know each other."

 

As the group began to leave the tourist trap island behind, getting on board a boat that Aux had found and moving to worlds unknown. While the boat was certainly a lot more spacious and comfortable then the one they had taken to get to the island world, and the context of their departure was far more positive and upbeat then it was last time, this didn't last for much time either. The further they moved through the sea, the more dangerous and perilous things became as the sea began to churn around them in a more violent fashion. The sky began to darken as the thick clouds began to cover more and more of it, creating a clear indication that a storm was brewing. This indication was only made all the more obvious as lightning began to arc across the sky and and the sound of thunder started boom and echo across the whole of the sea. While Aux seemed to try and get the boat started and moving, it had seemed that whatever was powering the boat was not moving. While Stratos tried to look around to see if there was anything he could do to help get them back to the shore before the storm hit its apex, but as he went to move across the boat, he was knocked off his feet onto the ground.

As the waves grew rougher and rougher and rocked the boat harder, Stratos eventually couldn't keep on the boat and longer and was flung off of it, getting thrown into the sea below them. As he was thrown into the water, the boy managed to get up out from the surface of the water, gasping for air and beginning to look every which way that he could. Trying to see if any of his friends had managed to stay aboard or not, the boy couldn't see any of them but that was less because they weren't there, which they may not have been, and more because it was getting harder for him to see anything. The boy was barely keeping above the water by flailing his arms about wildly, but this did little for even less time and after being hit by a wave he was forced down under the water. As it pulled him further and further down, tossing him all about as violently as the water seemed able to, Stratos could do nothing but struggle against the whims of the water.

Rennshalt did not have much in way of open water. There was a small lake a small distance away from the town of Himmel, but that was used for drinking, cleaning ,and other such mundane utilities. As a result, use of it for recreation, such as swimming, was strictly prohibited by the laws of his town. While not every one was entirely adherent to this rule, Stratos was not a born trouble maker or thrill seeker, and so he had never actually followed any of his more gungho or rebellious friends in their efforts in frolicking in the water. And, more to that point, it had meant he never had needed the knowledge required to have fun in an open body of water. As such, the boy's struggles and flailing throughout the large body of water was not actually anything close to resembling swimming, as he hadn't the faintest idea on how to swim in the first place. As he continued to try and try and try to keep himself a float, the water seemed intent on dragging him further down under into the watery abyss.

While he could hardly see anything underwater, his vision started to get blurrier and his eyes began stinging. The only thing he could really hear was the roaring sound of the waves, muffled by the water that was filling his ears. He hadn't taken the biggest of breaths before being dragged under and soon enough his mouth had opened up and the water had begun spilling in through both his mouth and nostrils, trying to heave out the water while still underneath it. Eventually spots started to form in his vision as his lungs began to burn. Stratos could feel himself blacking out, and he figured that if he did then there was a chance he would never get up again. Though, he hadn't the faintest idea as to what he would do in this churning water, and eventually, he suddenly felt the pull of the water go more forceful then before. As if there was some kind of large rift in the sea that was pulling him through it, the water suddenly started to rush faster and faster in a single direction, before he finally felt as though he was being propelled back in the opposite direction.

Being launched in a singular direction, Stratos was flung through the water, and eventually out of it. Landing back in the water, the boy's almost limp body started gently drift through the far less rough waters. Eventually, he had washed up on the shore, barely concious and starting to heave and gasp for air. With water spilling out of his mouth, the boy continued to cough as he slowly got on his hands and knees, bringing his arm to rub the salty water of his eyes. Slowly opening them back up, the boy was seeing nothing but spots in his vision for awhile before he finally managed to blink and see straight again. Getting more shakily onto his feet, he looked over and around, now taking in that he was on an island that didn't look too dissimilar to where they were before, and eventually his eyes landed on some more familiar faces. "Kaida! AJ?" While excited to see them both, he was confused as to how the other boy got here, but shook his head off saying, "glad to see you made it. And good to see you again too AJ. Um," now looking at the large man before them saying, "new friend?"

 

When AJ suddenly mentioned her being the leader, she looked surprised and shocked and said, "Abada-what? No. No I'm not the leader." she waved her hands towards Maui immediately in a "no way" kind of motion and clarified, "Trust me, no one wants to see me in a leadership position unless you like the idea of having nothing efficient done whatsoever. I'm just another member of the team same as everyone else. Our leader is..." Kaida tried to think of who exactly even was the leader in the first place so she simply rubbed the back of her head and said, "Um... out of commission? Temporarily displaced? Point is I am not the leader."

Kaida paused what she was saying when she noticed the wolf show up to greet them and was surprised when it jumped up to lick her in the face. Before she could really make a comment towards it the wolf was running off towards another side of the island and she asked, "Was that the wolf you can't eat? Whatever- I-" she stopped to listen to Maui's monologue about his titles and was a bit confused when he specified women since she knew "man" usually was just short for "mankind" which included women. But she just kind of shrugged it off and asked, "Is this a title exchange? I'm Kaida the uh..." she paused for a long time to try and come up with something before she heard Stratos call out towards her and AJ and she yelled, "Stratos!" she tensed up and looked at Maui and said, "No-No I'm not 'Kaida the uh Stratos' it's just... this is Stratos... and Stratos this is Maui...A demi-god of the wind and sea! Hero of man.... I think shapeshifter was in there somewhere... hero...to... all...?" she trailed off before looking at Stratos and asked, "Did you see Aux, Ananta, or Steel wash up?"

 

​

When Kaida said she was not the leader he was somewhat surprised at her reaction. 'I'm just another member of the team same as everyone else.' Kaida just seemed more then just another member to him. He then wondered why Kaida was selling herself short. Kaida did not want to be the leader and that was the end of that. At one point a wolf came by and licked Kaida across the face then ran off to the other side of the island. "Well that was odd." While the action was odd is was not the oddest thing that he seen over how ever long it has been. It was at this moment that Maui said, 'I'm not just some regular mortal or anything. I AM MAUI! Shapeshifter! A demi-god of the wind and sea! Hero of man! And women. Man AND women, both... all... Ah, you know, Maui is a hero to all.' "A demi-god how interesting." It seemed odd that a shapeshifter could not just shape shift off the island. Kaida then said, 'Is this a title exchange? I'm Kaida the uh...' He did not even know they had a title. Where they to get one a some point or not? That said he thought it was best to come up with something. "AJ..." he could not think of a title. Luck was on his side as a splash of water followed by yelling. He turned around to see Stratos. Kaida had mentioned something about being with him. Kaida then told Stratios what was somewhat going on. picking up he coat he pot it away before joining Kaida and Stratios. "I think he was already on the island." He also wondered if Stratios had seen any of the others. "Are you doing alight? Are you hungry?" Pointing to the little food not far off that he had offered to the others.

 

The Wolf shook his head to answer the question as he rubbed against Moana’s leg, feeling the warmth of her skin. Then he moved over to Kel then bit a little into his clothing and pulled him a bit with his mouth, trying to show him something. He let go and jumped onto a rock and barked loudly that could be heard on the other side, while at the same time, showing Moana and Kel a number of tally marks in the shape of a giant hook.

 

Luna felt a little at ease to know Aux was alright. "I don't know where everyone else went. We got swept away in a storm on the ocean. Judging by how you're here somehow I guess the same thing happened with your group..." She nodded her head as she listened. She then answered him. "Kind of. It was more of two of us got thrown overboard." Aux had then continued. "At least your safe. The ocean's a big place- who know's where they are now..." Luna put her hands together as she prayed for the others' safety. "Oh, hey princess! ...You alright there Aux?" She immediately turned toward the voice. She almost didn't recognize him but she immediately recognized the voice. "Steel!! Thank goodness you're alright!" She let out another sigh of relief once she knew another friend was safe.

As the three talked, another familiar voice called out to them. "Hey, glad to see you guys made it off the island alright." Luna turned her head and had seen that the voice had belonged to Beuce. She began to feel more at ease as she saw that more people were alright. "Beuce! I'm glad you're safe!" Luna smiled before looking to the others. It wasn't before long until she heard another familiar voice. "I hope you haven't hurt any of my friends." Karina had then arrived, glaring at Aux. "Let me know if he has done anything to you guys, I will kick his ass." Luna immediately went over to Karina and spoke to her. "Everything and everyone is fine! Right now we're all on the same side. Let's focus on figuring out just where we are-"

Before Luna could finish her sentence, another mermaid had bumped into the girl, causing her to fall to the ground. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I'm such a klutz when I'm in a rush... Are you okay?" Luna looked up to see the mermaid had red flowing hair. The mermaid had offered her hand to help Luna back up. "Please, don't worry about me! Are you alright?" Luna smiled as she took her hand and got herself up on her fins. Another fish had swam up to the mermaid and had learned the mermaid's name was Ariel. Luna smiled until she heard Aux's voice ring out. "GIVE ME BACK MY HAT YOU PINEAPPLE!" Aux then went chasing after Flounder. Luna immediately try to intervene. "Aux! Calm down!!" She then turned to Ariel. "I'm so sorry! See that 'bag' that your friend has actually belongs to my friend. Would it be possible for you and your friend to return that back to him?" She immediately bowed her head as she asked for the hat back.
