    Shinji sighed in relief as No Name vanished then he looked at the Kingdom Key, he was surprised to actually wield Sora's own Keyblade and used it in battle it felt like, somewhat of an honor to even hold it since this Keyblade saved the universe and became well known as he heard the girl's request of help and he had to chuckle a bit.

    "Yeah sure, just so long as you know your limits for next time." he said aas he lightened his grasp on the Kingdom Key as it vanished to return to it's master, he knew it was only for the best, he did recall Riku and Sora exchanging Keyblades twice and could be used by a fellow wielder as Shinji bent down and helped lift up the girl as he put an arm around her waist and slung one of her arms over his neck.

    "Heh... thanks. It feels so weird you know? Having to follow in his footsteps... especially since we're related."
    She walked with Shinji. She felt like they were at the end of Sora's final journey. She was Riku and he was Sora. It just felt so odd... and she knew that it wasn't over.

    OOC: Gonna introduce Kuragari now, reposting info so the others can see it.
    Name: Kuragari
    Age: 50 (17 in human years)
    Gender: Male
    Relation to previous wielders: None
    Home World: Midgar
    Keyblade(s): Rejection of Fate
    Good or Evil: Evil
    Light or Darkness: Darkness
    Other Information: Kuragari was one of Nanaki's (better known as Red XIII) sons. He grew up believing his father favored his brother, and because of this his heart grew dark with hate. His hatred became so strong that it embodied itself in the form of a Keyblade. Though he had no idea how to summon or wield it, his hatred of his brother summoned the Rejection of Fate and with it, Kuragari killed his brother and left his homeland. Since then, he has not been able to summon the Keyblade again, and is most comfortable in the darkness. His fur is pitch black and he has piercing red eyes. Like his father, he is capable of human speech.

    IC: Asuka exhaled. It had been close, but...they were all alive still. She saw that the two teens were okay and were walking away, and then redirected her focus to her motorcycle. She walked over, wincing as she saw the extent of the additional damage. She pulled it from the wall, and cursed colorfully as the side sword housing completely fell off, as well as several other pieces of the armor. Sighing, she gathered as many pieces as she could and put them in a pile before trying to start the engine. It sputtered but quickly died. "Looks like I'll have to drag it back..."
    Suddenly, a new powerful dark aura hit Asuka, and before she had time to react she felt herself being thrown to the ground. The second thing she felt was claws digging into her shoulders, and when her vision focused she saw the piercing red eyes of something remotely feline. She tried to throw it off, but the beast held fast. She put her hands just under the feline's chest, summoned her Keyblade, and launched a fierce Fira spell into it. It roared in pain as it was thrown backwards, and while distracted Asuka ran over to the two younger wielders, stumbling slightly from the pain in her bleeding shoulders.
    Kuragari watched this, then shook off his body and laughed. "Quite a show you three put on. I must say I'm impressed, I hadn't expected you to finish off that Heartless so easily. Not bad for a couple of pups and an angry omega," he said, staring straight at Asuka when he said omega.

    "What the... who is this creep?"
    Cat looked at Asuka then back at Kuragari.
    "Okay..." she thought, "looks like magic won't work. Then let's just try brute force."
    She willed her Kingdom Key to attack him fom the front while her Kingdom Key D appeared high in the air. She was going to distract him and do the same thing she had with the guard armor...

    Asuka saw Cat trying to attack. She threw her Keyblade at the Kingdom Key D, causing both to disappear, and then resummoned Fenrir, placing it on the Kingdom Key. "Heroes aren't fools. Pick your battles. This isn't one you can fight," she said to her.
    Kuragari grinned, his fangs showing. "Please child, you can barely cast magic without fainting. The only one here of mild interest to me is you," he said, looking at Asuka. "Why do you fight against the darkness? You would be much better off just accepting it, extinguish the light that tries to grow in you.
    "...Not interested."
    "My, Nanaki was right, you are like Cloud. I knew him briefly, he was a fool to follow that woman's light." Kuragari said. He was provoking Asuka, he wanted to see just how far the darkness reached in her. "What's your choice, allies...or power?"
    Asuka stayed silent. This was the worst possible place for a confrontation like this, she knew talk of darkness in front of Keyblade wielders was not good. "I'm not interested in either. I know of you, and I know what you did. That's not the path I'm walking. Leave now, or your pelt will make a nice floor rug."
    Kuragari smirked. "Very well. But when we meet again...I will not back down so easily," he said, and then retreated to the shadows, disappearing.
    Asuka dropped Fenrir and hit the ground, the pain and exhaustion from the battles taking a toll on her body.

    "Asuka!"
    Cat ran to her side barely even able to support herself.
    "You okay? ...I never thought you were so much like Cloud. But now that i've seen it. I know you can control your darkness. Just... just don't let that guy get to you. He wants you to fall to the darkness so he can make you his pawn. It's just like back then..."
    Cat tried to cheer her up. She summoned her Kingdom Key to try and get on her feet. When she was steady she stretched out her hand to try and help Asuka get on her feet.
    "Don't worry. You don't have to do this alone. None of us do..."

    OOC: Sorry guys; I was gone all day.

    BIC:

    Luna had trouble controling her Keblade. Besides basic swipes like any other sword, she wasn't able to fully control it. She felt useless during this battle. She wished that her other strenghts could defeat these beings called Heartless, but she knew that it would take much more training. She stood in the background as she saw the new foe in front of her. Luna was able to see into his true sould and saw nothing but blackness. In fact, it seemed to depress her some.

    "Cat," Crimson called out. It was obvious that the battle was getting to her, but he couldn't allow himself to let Cat collapse again. He was only able to witness the fight from a far, but when Kuragari appeared, he was back on the offensive. He knew that this kind of Heartless wasn't alone, so he saved his strength to fight an even greater foe. Unfortunately, his idea was correct. When Asuka told Cat to back down, he knew that it wasn't their battle to interfer with. "Let me help you stand up," He told Cat, extending his arm. "You improved, and I'm so proud. I'm still better though," He decided to joke. "Asuka, I hope you can handle this!"

    Asuka stared at Cat's hand for a moment. She took her hand, but used her own weight to pull herself up. "You're already weakened. I don't want to drag you down with me," she said, looking to where Kuragari had disappeared. "I've been fighting the darkness on my own for so long...and the only things I have left of my home are a busted bike and a demon. Maybe it is time to really go towards the light," Asuka mused, half to herself. Seeing Crimson's concern, she said, "...Kuragari is gone for now. Left this world." Closing her eyes, she continued, "Don't worry about missing this battle. There will be plenty more. Especially if Kuragari's involved."
    She looked back at Cat. "I can't guarantee I won't disappear from time to time if my darkness starts to overwhelm me for all of your safety...but consider me an ally in this approaching war."

    SHinji had to help out Cat as he looked and watched the strange being attack Asuka without question and spoke with her and the conversation following until yet another person joined the group who called one girl cat and the older woman Asuka.

    "So that's their names..." He thought to himself and looked at Cat. "Man, you almost never know when your tired or wanting to battle." He said to her as he chuckled lightly. "Almost reminds me of a certain spiky haired hero." He joking rerfered to Sora and looked at Asuka.

    "I can't help with what you been fighting aginst for so long but you aren't alone at all, after all, aren't we all friends? So if the darkness is inside you, we'll just have to surround you with light." He said with a surprising wise tone of voice.

    Cat was overwhelmed. She had been reunited with an old friend and found two new allies as well.
    "Oh yeah? Well then... you should know about this..."
    Cat dropped her head and slowly came up with a goofy expression on her face. She hoped that this would cheer everyone up seeing that they had a long journey ahead of them.
    "Hey, what's that."
    Where Kuragari faded there remained a small bit of darkness.
    "Hmm, I wonder."
    Cat stood up and pointed her Kingdom Key towards the darkness. Its tip began to glow and a beam of light radiated from the Keyblade. The light engulfed them for a second but when they could see again the darkness had faded.
    "Well, I guess he won't be able to come back here again... hey Asuka! You wanna see if we can find your home? Maybe it's still there. I mean, if you wanna go then i'm with you."
    Cat smiled the same smile that Sora used to and she whispered in Asuka's ear, "I don't know about Sky though. We never actually did see if he could still fight."
    She laughed and then put her hand out.
    "So who's with me? Let's go save the worlds! For good this time."

    Asuka gave a ghost of a smile in response to Cat, then said, "Thank you...both of you." to Shinji and Cat. "They're all so young..."
    "Finding home would be nice...but if we are going to set out, we need to prepare first. And I do need to fix Fenrir," she said, gesturing to her bike. "I have the necessary tools, but some parts need to be replaced. Not to mention we probably want to stock up on whatever healing items the shops around here have. But," she said, putting her hand on Cat's outstretched one, "I'm with you."

    OOC: Is Xert still in this? ._.

    Cat smiled at Asuka's gesture.
    "Alright then. Let's see if there's anyone in town who'd have some parts or anything. Then we can focus on getting a ship... wait. Is anyone else thinking what i'm thinking? ...Eh, i'll tell you guys anyway. Since we've gotta rebuild the bike anyway why can't it have a dual purpose? We can make it into our own ship too. All we'd need are the right parts. Plus we can use our Keyblades to make paths to travel through! It's perfect!"

    OOC:I'm just gonna assume he's not for now. If he ever does decide to post again he can catch up and join right in. Until then he's nonexistent in our story. I'll replace him with a CC of my own if the need arises.

    "Well, that is true, it's better to prepare than not do so at all." Shinji said thoughtfully, it was going to be a long journey and by the sounds of it, a tough one if there were multiple wielders like himself, he actually relished the thought of see other worlds and going on a adventure, he just didn't realise it'd be one that'll save every world in existance.

    "The Gummi Ships must be expensive though." He said thoughtfully.

    "Well it can't be THAT expensive. Let's just see what we've got... I have... uh... 500 munny."
    She tried to laugh it off but at this rate they'd never be able to afford the part to rebuild the bike let alone convert it into a ship. Though people couldn't say no to Keyblade wielders when there was a crisis just like the one that happened all those years ago.

    "Well, 500 is a good amount, maybe we can use that for potions and stuff, if we are even remotely lucky in getting a Gummi Ship for free, it'll be a bonus to boot but that depends if the people believe there is a crisis in the making." He said as he crossed hsi arms, he would figure many people would think keyblades are just a story by now.

    "Well, there has to be a way." He said as he thought about it.

    "Hmm...converting Fenrir into a ship may not be too impossible, if we can find two two-person cockpits I should be able to attach them as sidecars," Asuka said. "Worst comes to worse...we could probably build them out of scraps we find lying around. I have about 4000 gil, but it sounds like that's not local currency. Though, if the Heartless here work in the same manner of monsters on my home world, they might drop money if we defeat them. Something to do with people not wanting to part with their money, even if they're turned into monsters."

    "Man, we've got it harder than Sora ever did... he met Donald and Goofy and they were just like Hey we've got a ship. Now ride in it with or us or we're all doomed."

    Keyblades were mostly just the stuff of legend at this point... but maybe the people just needed proof. Keyblades don't just choose masters whenever they want. Maybe they'd realize that there really was a crisis and at least try to help in getting a ship prepared.

    Asuka closed her eyes in thought. "There's got to be a way..."
    Her mind went back to when she was still a child, and her grandfather was teaching her how to use magic.
    "You'll never hit the target if you can't get them to stay still, Asuka."
    "How do I stop them from moving, Grandfather?"
    "Look at them, Asuka, they are creatures of darkness. What do they feed on?"
    She tried thinking back to earlier lessons. "...Darkness?"
    Her grandfather nodded. "Sometimes you need to use the darkness to your advantage, Asuka. It can be a very good lure..."


    "Wait," she said, opening her eyes, "Heartless are attracted to darkness, correct?"

    "Uh... yeah. They're attracted to the darkness in a person's heart. ...what's your plan Asuka?"

    "When I was young, my grandfather showed me how to create what he called a 'dark lure', basically a small pool of darkness that would attract any nearby monsters and keep them in one place while we attacked them. Let's say I create a lure in a somewhat public area, which causes the local businesses some trouble in terms of customers. Since we're Keyblade wielders, we'll have no problem getting rid of the Heartless. Not only would the shop owners feel obligated to give us a discount or...several, it would also show that Keyblades are very much alive," Asuka said.
    "The lure wouldn't be big, just enough to attract Shadows, maybe a Neoshadow or two, but nothing like that armor would be attracted to it," she finished.
