The Keyblade War: Rewind and press Play

Keith looked as Dante looked straight his way, those dark blue eyes stared at him, he felt uncomfortable. Suddenly Crystal's eyes opened revealing to be the same dark blue as Dante's, but yet Crystal seemed emotionless. "They are getting close, "Keith thought to himself. He shot a gust of Blizzard from his keyblade that hit both Dante and the attic floor sending Keith and Crystal landing back on the floor they were at. Keith was almost outside as he felt a sudden pain below his chest, but he kept running and felt it again, it was worse, he looked up seeing Ace infront of him a few feet off, Ace smirked as he put down his gun, and Keith looked down to see three gun shots that had hit him, he fell over a few feet away from the exit and dropped Cyrstal. Ace walked up to him and picked up Crystal, "Thats for you destroying my other gun.

 

The blizzard spell only managed to stun Dante for a few measly seconds and Dante took off after Keith, only to stop after Keith had collasped from Ace shooting him.
Dante:" That was close, he almost got away."
he said with a smirk as he walked over to where Keith had fallen and looked down at him.
Dante:" I'm sorry this had to happen but you go in my way and things like that will happen if you try to."
He gave Keith a nod and put his hands behind his back and walked away from Keith.
Dante:" Let us start getting back to Steel, He will be happy to see our return."
He said leaving the corridor, therefore leaving Keith sunken and all alone on the ground.
Ansem opened the door to his office only a little bit to see if the Mafia had left yet.

 

A puddle of blood surrounded Keith as he tried to grab Dante's leg as they left, Keith tried to stand up but painfully fell over again. He turned his head towards the door he heard creak, his white hair stained with red.

 

Dante only smirked at Keith's foolish attempt to grab his leg, but he followed the Mafia out of the destroyed front door and left the castle. Ansem opened the door fullily to his office once they were gone and he ran down the hallway, looking to see where Keith had gone and found him hunched over on the floor. Ansem hurried over to Keith and kneeled beside him.
Ansem:" Thank goodness you are alive, trying stay alive okay."

 

Keith looked up at Ansem, "they took her.." he said as he tried to sit up, he let out a small groan as he sat up all the way. "I'm sorry that this happened.." i should of been more stronger, he let a yell out as he felt even more pain from the bullets.

 

Mixt bit his lip. He had a way he could open the box, but if he was wrong the alchemical rebound would almost guarantee the destruction of it's contents. He could use probing alchemy to figure out the physical traits of the item, but it's strength was likely to be magical in nature. Alchemy was too big of a risk here with his current skill in alchemy and knowledge of the situation. They would have to do this the old fashioned way. "Well I see three options here. 1) Convince Nathaniel to open the box. 2) Kill Nathaniel therefore dispelling the seal. Or 3) Find a keyblade strong enough and with the proper design to unlock the seal."

 

Drake continued to run but was surprised when he noticed the mafia comming out of the castle "crystal?" Drake said running towards them

 

Ansem:" I see, well hold still, you can't go after her without getting yourself properly taken care of, Nuthura !!!"
He said calling for the small girl and she came walking towards them, a small wee girl, she could walk though, but not as well. She sat down next to Keith and saw the wounds in Keith's chest, she then touched them with her hands as a green light engulfed her hand and began to heal Keith.

Meanwhile. . .
Phisoxa:" Well 1) We can get ourselves killed or me captured by Nathaniel if we were to do that 2) ask Torxber if only we trust him 3) Where can we find a stronger keyblade if someone were to have it?"
She said looking up at Mixt.

 

"Well do have any other ideas?" Mixt asked doubting that she would. "Personally I would just kill him, but he is also my enemy as I am a member of the Dark Army. Seeing as I doubt you would want that and you are honestly more vital to this mission than I am I could check with other dark generals. We are used to deals with 'don't ask, don't tell' aspects. But I'm not sure any of them have the proper keyblade for the job. I would need to look through some records."

 

OOC: I got a feeling Xiao might be perfect for the job .-hint- -hint- >x>
Phisoxa:" Are you sure there aren't any other people in your group that might have such a strong keyblade? You should know perhaps. And no, I probably wouldn't want you killing my boss either heh."
She said smiling.

 

"She woke up right when that Mafia picked her up, she looked at me with fright in her eyes, i don't think i can ever forget that," he thought to himself as he closed his eyes with sadness. Cyrstal looked at the ground then looked up seeing Drake running towards them, she looked at him. Ace turned his head and noticed a man running towards him, "This can't be good," he said sighing.

 

Drake drew his sword and then stood infront of the mafia as he rested his sword on his shoulder "so who are you guys?" Drake said lazily waiting for a reply

 

Dante:" Just leave him be, if he really is the smart guy I know him to be, then he would leave us alone. If he only knew."
He said and spun around to receive the man running at him with his hands in his pockets and drawn his keyblade in response.

 

"We are no other than yours truly, the Steel Mafia, and i wouldn't try to take us on unless you want to end up like Keith." he said grinning.

 

"the steel mafia?" Drake said looking up for a moment thinking about who they were until it hit him "oh yeah you that group thats is against the Knight council." Drake said with a smile "now usually I would try to avoid fighting but you had to go and hurt Keith so now I have to fight you" Drake said lazily

 

Dante who wasn't part of the Steel Mafia, stuck out like a sore thumb. Being the only one there without a gun, his keyblade was the only thing he could use.
Dante:" Do you truly wish to stop such a thing from happening? From the blade from being born. . .? Truly I don't understand you."
He said, his words being manipulated by something else.

 

"That blade will be too powerful if it is awakened, it should of never existed, " said a voice that walked up beside Drake, Keith stood next to him in his clean clothes and his red stained white hair, he smiled and looked at Ace who seemed shocked, "Thought you killed me off huh? You can thank Dante's daughter for that." he said as he held up the three bullets he had been shot with and crushed them to dust. Crystal looked up relieved to see Keith was okay.

 

Drake looked over at Keith "hey Keith you had me worried" Drake said with a smile and looked back at the mafia "so ummm what all this talk about blades being born" Drake said confused

 

Dante's smirk faded when he heard that his daughter Nuthura healed Keith when was on the point of death.
Dante:" I guess I'm just going to have to kill you over completely myself and this time I'm not going to allow you the chance of living."
Ansem came running up from behind Keith with young Moegiro holding onto his hand and stood next to Keith.
Dante:" I thought I told you to keep him safe."
Dante exclaimed to Ansem with anger in his voice.
Ansem:" He is safe as long as he stays out of the middle of this crossfire, he is fine, plus I have a good reason to bring him along."

 

Keith looked over at Drake, "The X-blade , its suppose to be the most powerful keyblade ever , and with it worlds are in danger, it should of never existed. The only way to bring back this blade is to join together all three parts, the two halfs of the key to unlocking the X-blade and the barer of the x-blade itself, right now the two halfs are Dante and Crystal, and the barer of the x-blade is Phisoxa Mindell. i was trying to get Crystal away from them but that mafia shot me three times." he said glaring at Ace. Keith looked over at Dante, "This time i'm not running, " he said smiling as he summoned his keyblade.
