Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

​

Marx had said something about destiny. "I do not know about that I like to think we have our own choices our own path and we can shape it." The Marx asked Kaida how she was which was a bit surprising. Sometimes people need some time to think and collect there thoughts. Kaida said she was distracted lately. 'I've... been slowly forgetting someone. A best friend. I remember his face... details are beginning to disappear... but his name is completely gone.' This was indeed worrisome. Kaida then said, 'So for now I've promised to fight for all of us. So if he goes... that phrase will still include him.' "Kaida maybe there is a different way to remember." He said this trying to be as kind as possible. "Perhaps the problem is trying to remember with your mind..." and he said this he walked over to Kaida. "Have you thought about maybe trying to not remember him here" he pointed to Kaida's head "but in here instead." He moved his hand so the he was now pointing towards Kaida's heart. "If he remains in your heart he will never be truly forgotten." he said with a smile. Kaida continued, 'I know Stratos' answer but... do you guys feel it happening too? Him just... disappearing. And if either of you happen to remember his name... can you say it?' "I am not sure what felling it initials. I always thought that I was tired and have not really thought about it. Maybe that is the key or not. I can not be sure." He could tell that the name was important to Kaida and maybe it would help saying the name or maybe it would not. The only thing he was sure of was that it would bring kaida happiness. So he did what he suggested Kaida to do and looked into his heart.

He found himself at the castle of Illusion. He continued to walk down the hallway when he noticed that there was someone on their back. 'Are you alright?' He asked the teen with blue hair. Then he looked to his face and there was something about it that he could not put a finger to. 'Do you need some help?' He offered the teen. He reached his arm to help the teen up. There was some sound interference like he could not hear right. The blue haired boy looked over to his friends. 'I just wanted to make sure they're okay...I'm Hi..k..u by the way.' The sound was not there like someone was blocking it on every end. At some point he wondered if this would be painful. He then thought about the heart more. 'I just wanted to make sure they're okay...I'm Hikaru by the way.'

He came out of what he was doing and had a look on his face like the experience was not fun. "Hikaru." he said before he had to go through the process again. "Have you like.." he had a heard time thinking about how to put it. "Like the sound when he speaks is hard to hear or is this just me?" Hopeful he did not have to do that again.

While Kel may have still been iffy on the seven guardians of light, but the princesses of light were a different matter. Not only had he been shown a list of them, and saved technically two of them despite not knowing one was a princess of light til afterward. Really either option didn't have too much appeal to him, but there didn't seem to be much he could do about it as implied by Marx. "Maybe, still unsure about it though."

Kel was surprised to hear what it was that was bothering Kaida, more so was how he did recall the events that she was referring and the person in question, but his mind was coming up blank in regards to any name. Kel thought harder on this and his mind ended up wandering back to his time in Deep Jungle and a certain blue suited male. Krowley? No, while it was true it didn't quite feel right for this individual. Something was telling him that at least.

Maybe...maybe it was his heart that was telling him this, much like AJ had said himself. In fact, the name that AJ had said sounded familiar, not only that but actually felt right. Right by what he assumed to be his heart telling him that. "Hikaru. Yeah, that sounds about right."

Kaida listened to AJ work through it to remember the name. And then Kel said it sounded right. That was two of them, that should have been an indicator. Kaida started whispering to herself, "Hikaru... Hika...ru... Hikaru..." she stopped a moment and looked up and looked to the two of them, "That... doesn't sound familiar it all to me. I would think it would be familiar and that I'd feel it but..." Kaida placed her hand on her chest where her heart was and she stood there a minute in silence before closing her eyes and continued, "It's... just not there." she thought for quite a bit before saying, "I must really have been a worse friend than I thought... if that is in fact his name and you guys still feel the connection to it." she fixed her hair and tried to think of a memory that had that name, but she couldn't find it.

Well, if Steel had learned one thing from the battle, it was that Karina was just as violent as ever. Indeed, she was ever eager to beat in the faces of their opponents, and he knew the power she possessed from experience. As far as he could tell, she had done most of the work on Ursula by herself. He felt a bit guilty at this if he was honest. Ever since the Castle of Illusion it felt like he had been slowly becoming less and less effective against their enemies, only really effective when he was required to do simple strikes against an opponent in rapid succession. He couldn't fathom why; it wasn't as if he had lost any power since then. Sure, maybe the perceived power of being the eye, but that had only really been healthier for his mind, and shouldn't have effected his combat skills at all. He would be lying if he told anyone he was happy with the way things were; with how little he seemed to be able to come to aid now that he had made it his solemn duty to protect these people. If he was honest, he felt a little bit emptier than he ever had when he was deluding himself with his copied memories. But how was even supposed to begin to improve? It was a thought that should be saved for another time, and yet... it never seemed to be a good time at all.

As Aux charged in, he thought about just how long it had even taken them to get here. Indeed, it had only been a few days since they had passed their mark of mastery, and already so much had happened. Unlike the original Steel, he wasn't as capable of processing so much in so short of a time. Was that perhaps the reason? Was he too caught up in his own thoughts to fight productively? Maybe he should try to talk to the others more to put himself more in the moment?

That didn't really seem like a much better idea though... simply put, he was not very social and what little attempts had been made were met with an utter lack of success. Sure, he and Karina had both been in a bad place, and Ananta was more the type to talk then listen... but Glen actually had a mental shut down... and... well, that was just discouraging.

He was shaken from his thoughts when Aux began shouting at the rest of them. Having freed Ariel and put Ursula in choke hold, he was now calling for someone to hurry up and get the trident away from her. Steel broke from his inner distractions and swam forward, hoping to be helpful for once in a long time. He extended his hand toward the glowing weapon, readying his weapon all the while. He grabbed for the trident as he brought his weapon down on the sea witch, aiming the blade for her torso.

Hikaru. That was someone that Kaida couldn't remember, until AJ figured it out with Kel agreeing. Apparently looking inside his heart was the key. Marx thought for a second, and realized he could do something similar to that. Doing a double take on the name, Marx could have sworn he heard that name before, maybe in a book? The boy couldn't recall where. Knowing the feeling of either being forgotten or cast out was not uncommon to him, being unique had its downfall, even for Marx. Perhaps he won't be as troubled if he joins these people, they seem nice, helpful, and certainly heard of the SOS group before. Giving a smirk to the group, he stepped into the conversation. "If your gonna need to know what your up against, you'll need my help. My journal has helpful information about this fight. Plus, who often hears of a Twilight Master. What do ya say, am I in?" Finishing off with some cockiness in his voice, knowing that he can be a big amount to them. But that depends on wether or not they'll take him into the circle, Marx hoped he wasn't wrong about this.

Faust began to chuckle at Ananta's attempt of a pun as he sat up form the spot where he was laying on his back.

"You know Iggy, her attempt wasn't too bad for a Faust try. Hahaha" Faust replied back with a laugh "Ya know for someone who slings flames around like you do, you would think that they would have a more warm n' bright view on the finer things in life like the art of puns. Though getting back to the task at hand It can't be to hard to find Rourke ya know it's not like he has any real experience with magic. So he should ya know not just turn invisible or teleport out of here."

"Ignis, you're cruel. I want the old Ignis back. At least she didn't go deadpan when someone made a pun." She frowned. Faust complimented her attempt, so she was a little happier. He continued on with his own new pun. Ananta looked at Ignis. "Honestly, you act like you're flustered. Seeing as you're hitting on him more, I'm surprised he hasn't gotten the hint yet." She rolled her eyes, with a smirk. "That aside, if Rourke could do magic I'll be darn surprised."

Kel seemed to be having a hard time which was not a good thing. Something was going on and he was not sure what to do about it. Kaida then said, 'that... doesn't sound familiar it all to me. I would think it would be familiar and that I'd feel it but... I must really have been a worse friend than I thought... if that is in fact his name and you guys still feel the connection to it.' He felt bad for bring up the idea that a friend should always be in the heart. "That is not true you are a great person and friend. I am sorry Kaida." He still felt like he was responsible for what happen to Hikaru. "I should have done something more to help him," he said sadly. He felt depressed at this very moment. The very act of trying to brighten up Kaida's day did not work out that well. He did not know what to say to Kaida and just felt bad about the whole thing. Marx then said, 'If your gonna need to know what your up against, you'll need my help. My journal has helpful information about this fight. Plus, who often hears of a Twilight Master. What do ya say, am I in?' "Well it is not really up to us. For the most part people more or less show up and do not ask to join and just follow us. You are the first person to ask to join. I should warn you that if you join there will be trials and I should also tell you that the last several people that joined... well let us just say that it has not worked out for the most part. People tend to disappear when they decide to join this group." He thought it might be nice to give Marx some sort of idea what might happen if he decided to join.

When AJ said he wished he could have done more. Kaida shook her head and placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't. He would have probably done it anyway to help Aux. He was always putting us before himself. I never liked it and I don't like to think about it but... it was inevitable. Whether No Heart provoked the situation or not." she paused a second to let the sentence process before smiling slightly (or at least looking a lot less sad and going more neutral) as she continued, "But thank you for your words. I think the word 'great' is selling it heavily but I definitely needed it. See you are a better friend than me that was encouraging as h'yuck." she let go of the blonde boy's shoulder and faced over towards the boy in the wolf mask, "And to your thing... well, if you're offering to help us, we're certainly not in a position to reject it and any help we can get is appreciated. Sooo it feels a little informal and not in my position to do so but..." she shifted to hold her hand out towards Marx for him to shake it, "If you're on board, welcome to the SOS."

Seeing Rourke transform into some sort of glowing rock monster it seems that things were going down. Summoning his keyblade into his right hand Faust stood up the grin on his face widening at the prospective fight before him. He was face to face with some unknown magic that was possibly sentient. It was a sight that most would not even dream of seeing in their life time.

He quickly traced the path of a bolt of lighting with his empty right hand into it's intended target of the no longer human Rourke. In a split second of waiting for the magic to release and follow along with the intended path into his foe Faust's mind drifted back to the other sentient magical being that he encountered not to long ago the large snow golem marshmallow. In a flash Faust's magic surged more than intended bringing forth not only the desired outcome of a lance of lighting to strike Rourke but the formation of marshmallow in this cave. Standing tall towering over Faust as he stood next to him easily dwarfing him in size as he let out a deafening frosty roar.

It didn't quite sound like AJ's method had completely helped Kaida, but she had said it was fine. Even if it wasn't, there was much that Kel could do about it. After all, he barely remembered Hikaru himself. Kel pushed these thoughts and hopefully, he wouldn't forget them in the time he went to respond to Marxs. "She may not be our leader, but I see no reason to disagree with her if you're willing to help us."

Ignis replied to Castur's complain about Rourke's change. "Well, to be fair, this time it wasn't on purpose, like a lot of people we fight. Just an idiot who wouldn't listen."

Following that she got in close and personal and let loose a combo on the guy, if he could even be called that still.

He felt really sorry for the group, forgetting someone who they knew for a long time, only to forget them in the end. Hearing from Kaida, who wasn’t actually the leader, spoke to him about joining and sticking her hand out to him. “Glad I can be of service. I’ll do my best to help and give what information I can, and I know quite a bit.” Marx said as he shook the girls hand in confirmation. He then continued as he looked out to the ocean, “Also, I am an excellent sailor if I say so myself. I can guide us to where we’re going next, and I see no other way out of this world let alone off of Te Fiti. That is, if your ready?” Turning back to the others waiting for an answer from them. It seemed that this group could potentially fulfill another task of his, but that will come to pass if he makes the right choice.

When Kaida shook her head and placed a hand on his shoulder and said, 'Don't. He would have probably done it anyway to help Aux. He was always putting us before himself. I never liked it and I don't like to think about it but... it was inevitable. Whether No Heart provoked the situation or not.' That was nice and all but he could not keep the feeling away that he could have done something more. 'But thank you for your words. I think the word 'great' is selling it heavily but I definitely needed it. See you are a better friend than me that was encouraging as h'yuck.' "I do not like to think I am better then anyone else I just like to help out where I can. We are all good at something. No one person is better then another." Then Marx said, 'Glad I can be of service. I’ll do my best to help and give what information I can, and I know quite a bit.' "How is it you know so much anyways?" The only reason he asked was that for the most part people he had come across so far had more or less been thrown into the fire without much knowledge. Marx continued with, 'Also, I am an excellent sailor if I say so myself. I can guide us to where we’re going next, and I see no other way out of this world let alone off of Te Fiti. That is, if your ready?' "I am not to keen on going on another boat but that might be our only way out of here." He then turned towards Kaida. "So Kaida we need to find the others but so far I have not had much luck sense we left when No heart attacked. I feel like no matter what we do he wanted this. I can not say for what reason. I think we should be able to somehow track the others. Do you have any clue how we might be able to do that? The only thing I can think of is to track their keyblades somehow." He was not really sure if it was at all possible.

15/30

 

Kaida nodded at Marx after his affirmation of joining and looked to AJ when he asked that question. She rubbed her chin a little in thought as if she had some kind of invisible beard and said, "I don't know about tracking keyblades. Obviously there must be a way to do that but our best option would probably be communicators. The problem is I don't have any to give at the moment." she stopped and crossed her arms as she let out a grunt of frustration and said, "So we're gonna have to do our group specialty. We'll wing it. I'm starting to regret not having a better plan in place. Hopefully that can be remedied soon." she looked towards the ocean and admitted, "I'm really really not fond of having to go back in another boat but I'm thinking at this rate we don't have much of a choice. Not until we can secure some sort of method of travelling." she rubbed her temples and looked at Kel and said, "After this I swear I'm never going in another boat again. I don't care if I'm making things more inconvenient for myself. I'm not doing it."

​

Right away Kel didn't know what a 'communicator' was, but the context it was used it made it easy for him to figure out what they generally were. With that in mind, he agreed that having them would be very helpful with the number of times they ended up separated, both intentional and otherwise. "I'll keep that in mind." With hands raised behind his head and a quick glance towards the ocean then to Marx. "Does being a sailor mean you can tell if a storm's going to show up?" Kel really just hoped that they wouldn't run into any more storms when they did start sailing to. Regardless he would be sure to be in the middle of the boat this time around.

He stood and listened to Kaida. Kaida then said, 'I don't know about tracking keyblades. Obviously there must be a way to do that but our best option would probably be communicators. The problem is I don't have any to give at the moment.' "The only reason I say anything about using the keyblades as a tracker is that it seems like No Heart figured it out somehow." That was when something hit him. "Oh yea we do have the Player pins which seemed to be a one way communicator." The only problem way that the player pins were now attached to the keyblades and would be harder to mess with. Kaida then said, 'We'll wing it. I'm starting to regret not having a better plan in place.' "Well winging it always seems to work its self out somehow." The other seemed to be forgetting that they did not not have a way off this world. "So how are we leaving? Are we getting on our keyblades and setting sail. I much rather stay as close as possble to all of you considering what happened last time." for the most part the others seemed like they were ready to go.
