    Quill's intrudence didn't seem to be bothering much as those with worlds in the matter deserved to be heard.
    "Quill is right, but seeing as how we were spread pretty thin, we don't really have much know how on the status of several worlds... No Heart took the record of all active worlds, however there's something even very troubling. Over a year ago Yen Sid reported that stars were overfilling the night sky. Each star is a world of course, and the time travel must have created an influx beyond normal capacity... But recently stars have begun to dwindle. As if No Heart is pushing them to another point in time... But all the time belts were destroyed, so we fear he may be sending the worlds to darkness...."

    "Lotta folks from our worlds have gone around collectin' memories from places just in case!" Goofy chimed in. "So just in case this No Heart Fella plans to get rid of the worlds, we can try and form new ones from each world's core memory!"
    "It's a long shot, but Goofy's right. Each world has a core memory that represent the history of the world. If the darkness consume the heart of that world, we may at least be able to rebuild it with the date from the items they've collected. So at the very least we have a contingency for the fall of all worlds...."

    Shiro rubbed the back of his neck. "The clash of light and darkness may be a bit more difficult. Originally, there were seven members of the order that would help fight off the darkness should anyone wish to claim Kingdom Hearts. However, three of our comrades are lost to the void, and one has shown to a treacherous swine!"

    "The point of his three apprentices were to gather factions of darkness
    Nequa chose to create a Red Society to best select her dark champions. The Black Coats that Lea assembled have dealt with them the longest and only recently have the SOS been introduced to them. Ventus was rescued from their control, but we're still not sure how many are left..."

    "Vanitas has also been shown to be gathering his own faction. From what it looks like, Sho from your Mark of MAstery exam is also in his ranks. It's safe to assume he'll try to gather more warriors with vendetta's against your group.... That just leaves the man in the black armor... Whoever he is, he's been inactive for some time..." Shiro stroked his chin, unaware of his identity.
    DJ looked to Aux and back to the monitor. "I'll keep a tab on him just in case."

    Donald hopped forward onto a chair. "Last I heard, he was outta the picture. Besides, you're forgetting another group!"
    "Right... The hellfire club. Seems like No Heart made another ally. While I was traveling along Disney Station, One of their group members attacked us..."
    "That no good Mortimer sent Mick and Oswald outta the realm!" Goofy pouted.
    "I was sent into darkness, and Mickey into the void." Oswald added. "From what Mortimer said, they have roughly ten members... You guys may have ran into a few of them. They've been the ones kidnapping princesses for the past year..."

    "No Heart is gathering darknesses. And Until I can communicate with Yue, Mizu and Lea, we may need 4 more champions of Light as a back up."

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    Some time went by as Eraqus' hand weakly moved towards Ventus, his listless eyes slowly openeing. He turned his head to his pupil. "Ventus?.." he softly whispered. "I'm sorry I failed you..." He tried to get up but was still very weak. His entire body mostly asleep. "I'm glad you're safe though.. Where.... Where are Terra and Aqua?" He looked around, unsure where the two of them were. "Where are we?"

    Now that the meeting had started he would need to find something to do to kill time until it was over even though when it did end it would still be better if he didn't know what was talked about in there. His eyes scanned the immediate area, admittedly still finding it a bit odd that there was no one else here besides them, then looked to Karina. "I know DJ said that there was no one here beside us, but I'd feel a bit better if I could confirm that for myself. Wanna tag along?" It was directed at her, but anyone that was just hanging out while the meeting was going could tag along should they desire.

    Karina was surprised that everyone agreed with her suggestion. She thought at least someone would have another opinion. Either way it was decided and everyone left, leaving her just standing there, a little upset that there ultimately was so few of them that couldn't go that it felt pointless to limit it. Now it just felt like they were sidelined because they weren't important enough for anything. Karina let out a heavy sigh before she finally just went to sit against a wall. As she did Kel walked up and asked to go check the place out for themselves and Karina just shrugged. "It is better than being the outcasts sitting out here. May as well." She said getting up again.
    [​IMG]
    "You have a whole group of keyblade wielder to choose from. Why can't you fill out your numbers from them?" Dawn asked as she sat back and listened to the conversation. She was the newest out of anyone here, she was sure, so she didn't know everything, but she could at least try and understand. "Or could you try and get some of these people back? I mean we have been dealing with the Red Society up to this point, but it feels like we are running in circles a bit. Lea got taken, but left Karina in charge. Karina ran from her responsibilities, again, and left Koa in charge, but in this it feels like we lost the main goal and are just running around because it is all we know what to do. Not anything against Koa, he is doing great for what he has, but there has to be more we can do."

    Soon the the meating started and he stood leaning on a wall next to the room and where they came from. Soon Kel and Karina left him alone which was not all that surprising. As he stood alone he his mind began to wonder. Something more had to being going on then it seemed. Everything was far to relaxed. Red Society was up to something that much was clear. While the meaning was going on he had to figure out what to do with himself. but what he did that he went over his plan that he had formed in his head.

    Ven perked up from staring off into space when the old man started to move. The boy reached out and took his hand into his, smiling a little. "It's okay, Master Eraqus. You should probably stay laying down. They said you were in some kind of cyrosleep and need some time to recuperate. Take it easy." He placed his other hand over the one he was holding and patted it gently as if to try to comfort him, even though he himself was a little lost. His eyes saddened when his master asked where the other two pupils were and he glanced down at the bed. "I wish I knew where they were... I just woke up from a long sleep myself apparently." He looked around the room, seeing that they were alone in this eerie place. "We're in a med bay in a place called Central Haven. That's as much as I can offer... I followed this group of keyblade wielders called the S.O.S. I woke up on their ship."

    Seeing that he wasn’t needed for the meeting for the different groups and some of the others had started to break off as well Faust could guess that there were better uses for his time than stand around and wait for the meeting to end. He faintly remembered that someone mentioning that whoever attacked this place had set the library aflame before they left so that wouldn’t be too bad of a place to check out. Nodding to himself Fuast wandered off not sure where the library was here but how hard could it be. He waved off to AJ who seemed to be lost in thought saying “Hey if you guys need me i’ll be looking over that library seeing as i'm not needed here.” Faust just picked random turns and paths through central haven till he had found himself in front of the ash filled library.

    Kel waited to see if anyone else would take him up on his offer, but when it showed to just be Karina, he simply turned and headed off in a random direction. That random direction had ended up taking them to the training grounds and along the way, there wasn't a single sign of a creeping shadow nor person. At the very least the lack of people could be explained by the meeting. "To put all that effort into taking this place only to just up and leave does not put me at ease really."

    When Faust came up to him and spoke he was a bit surprised. 'Hey if you guys need me i’ll be looking over that library seeing as i'm not needed here.' "Will do." He did not think there would be anything in a library but burt pages. "You might have the right idea" he told Faust before he left. There may not be anything in the library but that did not mean someone was not around hiding somewhere. It made to much sense not set set up an ambush. That said he would not but anything past the red society at this point not to think things though. They were told there was no one around but that did not mean it was true. Perhaps they had some clocking device. There was also the fact that they could just portal wherever they wanted on top of everything else.

    Listening in on the meeting, Beuce's mind wandered to the various possibilities. "We fought No Heart once. His strength is unreal. Even if we were newly named, he still beat some odd 13 keyblade masters at once without so much as breaking a sweat. If I had to guess, he's throwing worlds into darkness in an effort to force our hand. He wants the clash to happen as soon as possible because he knows he'll win." Beuce looked to Dawn. "The reason we can't just choose replacements is that honestly speaking, we just simply aren't strong enough yet. If it were just the apprentices, if it were just the red society, it'd be a different story. It wouldn't be easy, but we could pull through it. No heart is on a level all his own. If we rush in and lose, there's no one left after us. He'll have free reign to do whatever he wants, and with kingdom hearts in tow, no one will ever be able to do anything about it again." Beuce said grimly.

    He cleared his throat and straightened his back. "Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we'll never win. We just aren't in a position to do so yet. So the first order of business, if I may propose, should be getting the SOS stronger. Once we do that, we might be able to fill the remaining four slots from our ranks." He looked to DJ and Shiro. "You've been masters a lot longer than we have. You're more experienced. So, If I may, I believe you should train us. There has to be a greater level of power we could achieve that would give us an even playing field." Beuce said before growing silent. "What about...A greater form for our Auras? I've been on the cusp of mine but...I'm stuck. I can't figure out how to break through into the third."

    Quill stewed a bit in his seat, as much he hated being rebuked their points were clear. He didn’t want to see anymore worlds end like his but if this was being done intentionally to agitate them into a trap, their attempt would be without any chance of victory. And how Beuce specifically spoke of No Heart, however this group’s last encounter with this man went it shook with fear. Quill considered like the others in a long silence till Beuce cleared his throat for the room “if I may propose, should be getting the SOS stronger…..A greater form for our Auras?”

    This interested Quill greatly. He had struggled so intensely with accessing his own connection to his Aura. It had been difficult to even manage what he did against Sho but in the end he was controlled by his taint of darkness. Quill wasn’t supposed to have this connection to a dark aura, without proper training he might end up losing control again. “I...would support this plan. If there were any chance to grow stronger and be able to face our enemy quickly, we need to be at our peak strength.” And if anyone could help me control the corruption I have, it would be then.

    HALL OF THE ORDER

    DJ addressed the comment regarding the rest of the order first. "I've been trying to find a way to contact the rest of the order for sometime... There's a spacial element I have yet to grasp before I get access to the void to get them out. I think I can get them out but I'll need more time..." He turned to Beuce. "But boosting your abilities doesn't seem like a bad idea." He motion to Shiro. "Training is Shiro's department. I wouldn't be as strong as I am without him."

    Shiro cracked his knuckles. "I'm more than up to the task, friend. It's been some time, but I'll happy to teach any wielder the 3 principles of mastering the key! And once Eraqus recovers, we should be able to get them up to speed even faster!" He nudged Kaida and tussled her hair. "I still have plenty of training I owe miss Kaida as well."

    "Good to know...." DJ looked to Goofy. "How goes the efforts on recovering the core memories from each world?"
    "Goin' A-okay Mr. DJ sir!" Goofy saluted. "That Dreamer guy has been helpin' us get to the worlds we can't reach. Not to mention we found lotsa help from the folks that the SOS helped!"
    "I don't trust that Dreamer!" Donald pouted.
    "Me neither, but so long as he's helping us, he's considered an ally."

    He looked to Koa. "Primarily the black coats were supposed to help us from the shadows, but seeing as how everyone's out in the open we'll need you to help some other way." He propped a book open onto the table."You said you guys found this in Hotel's manor... I think it holds the key on her to solve our void problem. So far only Nequa has been able to open the portals to the void. But that's because she's been inside the Void the longest... My dad knew a similar patient and using that, he made the time belts... When No Heart started abusing them, he created tears in the void. Nequa must've found a weak point and escaped. Now she's acting like a secret tunnel to send people to and from the void. "He looked to Aux. "Anything else we need to know on her?"

    Aux thought long and hard. "She kept saying something about... releasing the Chaos. She didn't care much about Kingdom Hearts. Only something about... swords?"
    "The X-blade?" Shiro asked.
    "Only part of the answer..." He turned the pages of the book. "This... Enchiridion of sorts holds a bunch of old secrets regarding the "Void." it was used like a prison holding the most dangerous creatures known to man. A realm beyond light, darkness and in between."
    "And Mick's in there!" Goofy sighed.
    "In the age of fairytales, world leaders would use six blades to banish the unstoppable into the void.

    Blade of Honor, Blade of Plight,
    Blade of Truth, Blade of Might,
    Blade of heroes and their start
    Blade that watches every heart.

    "Perhaps young Alex knows which she's collected..." Shiro suggested.
    DJ sighed. "That'll be a fun conversation... When I kept reading, I found something about the Children of Cosmos. Twelve heroes of light that severed the connection between the void. It may also be my answer to fixing the tears in time... I could theoretically make a giant reset button from it. But the children of cosmos are very rare and far... Only those blessed from the light of Cosmos can give their light into this." He showed an orb that could fit roughly in the palm of his hand.
    "How they gonna do that?" Oswald replied.

    "The Black Coats need to scout out Children of Cosmos and have them give their light into this orb. Once we get all twelve, we should be to stop any plan Nequa or No Heart has for the void."
    Oswald sighed. "This seems like a lot of extra steps just for one bad guy."
    "Well it's a good thing, we have a lot of teams," DJ replied agitated. "Whoever No Heart is, he has planned, and has kept us busy for over a year. He took down our base, stole our records, and we don't even know what he wants to use Kingdom Hearts for... so yeah... I'm taking every precaution..."

    He took a deep breath as he leaned back. "I'll work on a way of contacting the rest of the void. I'll try and get info out of Alex if I can.. The Black Coats will find the Children of Cosmos to help RESET the world order... The Disney Station crew will help recover core memories to RESTORE the world order. And Shiro and any other master we find will will help train the SOS. To PROTECT the world order. That sound good to everyone?" he asked the room.


    -------------------------------------------

    TRAINING GROUNDS

    Kel and Karina came across.a man with brown hair and a tight black shirt. His garments similar to that of Eraqus. "Stay where you are!" He pointed his keyblade at the two of them as he stepped closer from their rear. "Tell me who you are... and what you're doing here..." he held his keyblade firmly pointed at the duo.


    -------------------------------------------

    MED BAY

    "The SOS are here? How long have I been asleep?" Eraqus tried not to panic, but questions continued to plague his mind. He tried to sit up and get to his feet. "I'm still weak, but... we need answers." He propped onto his feet but quickly feel down to his knees.

    "They drove us out, they separated us. They made us unstable and we lost people because of it. They got us thrown in the Realm if Darkness. They likely got information. They got plenty out of doing this, I don't know why they would abandon it but it isn't like they didn't get anything by doing this." Karina pointed out as they walked. She still didn't trust how quiet it was, but she could at least point out some reasoning. They didn't make it much further however before coming across a man, who promptly threatened them.

    Karina summoned her own keyblade as she faced the man down. "And they said this place was already cleared out." Karina said plenty loud as she didn't back down from the man. "Since we were essentially summoned here to meet other groups, and trained here for a while and are protectors of this place, I should be the one asking you that question." Karina stated very starkly, not even thinking of backing down. She was not scared of this man, she would fight him if she had to. The two strongest of their group were here, there was no way they would lose.

    Dawn listened to what Beuce was telling her and just crossed her arms. "Alright, so you need to train up in order to fill out ranks, but time is tight. Then you better get to it." Dawn stated looking towards DJ who continued to give out more instructions. She just nodded and sat back to listen to the rest of the meeting. Honestly Dawn didn't have as much to contribute as she wished, but she at least listened, figured everything out as she went.

    He was about to say something else, but then hesitated for a brief moment. "Terra" he aggressively stated. "Now its your turn. Im looking for Eraqus, Xehanort, Aqua or Ventus. Do any of those names mean anything to you?"

    As much as it sucked to admit it, Karina did have a point. Their defeat had been sound and it had been proven time and time again that their enemy was more than capable of beating them in combat. Nothing about this really made sense, but he could only hope that it wasn't part of yet another scheme that they were walking right into unknowingly.

    Just as he was about to speak they were greeted by someone else, them being completely unfamiliar to him and also having a keyblade as well. He couldn't up to raise a brow in surprise when the man introduced himself as Terra. "To answer your first question I'm Kel, that's Karina and as you can see we don't plan on harming you otherwise we would've done so already." He summoned forth his own keyblade to further show that they all were keyblade wielders. "As for your second question, both Ventus and Eraqus are here. I can at least tell you that."

    "Master, please don't push yourself so much." Ven was at Eraqus' side with his hand on his back and crouched by his side. “Your body is still recovering...” He put Master Eraqus' arm around his shoulder and hoisted him up, putting him on the bed he was laying on and fluffing up the pillow behind him to make him more comfortable. "I want answers just as much as you do... Apparently I was asleep for a while myself. They're in some kind of meeting right now anyways. I'm sure they'll come to us soon and tell us what's going on."

    Kel answered most of the questions, so that left Karina to ask her own once again. "Why are you asking about Ventus?" He could be either good or bad given Ventus went both ways. She then stopped. "Wait, you are one of the missing students aren't you?" She heard that much and was starting to put it together, which only made Karina more suspicious of him. "If that is true, then where the hell have you been? We know where Ventus has been, Aqua we don't know, but you... here you are like nothing has happened. Why?" Karina interrogated him. ​

    "After I was taken, I escaped!" He barked at Karina. "I've been going from world to world trying to find them... I've been looking for over a year..." He took a deep breath before calming down. "Please... I have to warn them..."

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    Erauqs sighed, but Ventus was right. "The night you three vanished, I called upon Yen Sid. He sent out letters to see who would aid in my cause. Little did I know that your disappearance was just the beginning, before I could investigate further, I was taken by the same assailants who had taken you... I was a fool for keeping my guard down." He looked to Ventus. "Who knows how much I missed..."

    He just escaped? Ven had been turned evil/stuffed into a suit of darkness, Aqua was still MIA and yet Terra was able to escape. It sounded odd to him, but for the sake of not starting any pointless arguments right now, he would keep those doubts to himself. The same sentiment was not shared regarding what Terra had said next. "Warn them about what exactly?" Kel asked, dismissing his keyblade as its purpose had been served. It couldn't have been good and with Ven now tagging along with them, it would affect the rest of them now as well.

    Ven perked up when he heard that his Master was kidnapped as well. "You mean... Were you kidnapped by someone named Nequa?" He pressed his lips in a thin line and his eyes scanned the the bed before him as he tried again to remember his time in the void. A shock went through his head, and he winced, holding the side of his noggin as he dug his nails into his skull. "Ah... apparently I was out for a year... But they told me I was used for something... evil. I'm trying to remember it, but every time I do-" Another jolt went through him and he held his head tighter with both hands, blinking rapidly as he saw blue light flash across his vision. "It actually hurts. But I guess she... used me? And I did what she said? That's what one of the SOS crew members said..."

    Luna listened to as the conversation carried on. Luna found herself agreeing with each person's point. Luna sat down and continued to listen. Koa nodded his head as the Black Coats had a new objective. "We'll discuss more on the Children of Cosmos at a later time, if that's alright with you. If we're to scout them out, we'll need a place to start. However, we will discuss after the meeting is adjourned." Koa sat down as DJ and Shiro continued.


    After Shiro and DJ said what they needed to say, they then gave each faction a new objective before making the SOS' objective to train and grow stronger. Dawn had agreed but brought up a good point on their time. Luna nodded her head and closed her eyes as she listened. The princess stood up once more before placing her hands on a table, pushing her body up. She lifted her head and opened her eyes to make eye contact with each person in the room. "Miss Dawn makes an excellent point." She paused.

    "Time is of the essence. Every day, every hour, every minute, every second, even to the finest nano-second. No-Heart and Nequa continue making steps, strides even, toward what they're set to accomplish." She looked at every single representative as she continued. "Time is not a luxury that is plentiful nor is it abundant. Should the SOS go forth with this training, every minute shall not nor will not be wasted. I would hope the same goes for the other factions with their objectives." Luna looked to Aux and Beuce before pausing, taking a moment to breathe. "We are all racing against a clock, a clock in which, when it strikes 12, no one will be safe and all chaos shall ,and will, break loose. Time is a very precious thing and we cannot afford to waste it." With one final look around the representatives, the princess sat back down.

    Koa nodded his head and listened to every word Luna had given. A small grin washed across his face. While this was not the time, he found himself growing even fonder, prouder of the young lady he promised the rest of his life to. Koa then looked to the others. "I think Her Highness has basically taken the words out of my mouth but she and Dawn are absolutely right. Does anyone else agree? Anyone disagree? I certainly won't disagree."
