okay! for now, let's split up, I'll go to the station, Hibi, go to the market street, Mig and Joker, there is an ally way in twilight town, you can go to the struggle area too, I'll go to the station, if we didn't find anything, we'll meet here in the area where is the hole leads to the forest too!
im ok but i think i found the heartless you were talking about... all i had to do was follow a trail of dark dots and i led me to the mansion which the heartless shot something at me but missed and i ran all the way here. i dont know if it followed me.. and i reason i did not fight it since i left my stuff here
*He looks bewildered* Okay I'm all for hunting heartless... But that's just not something they could possibly do, these things don't have an endless array of powers that are totally random guys.
In the end heartless are simple creatures, unless we're dealing with something like Xehanort's heartless they're just not smart enough for complex plans. And someone that dark wouldn't just mess around with gender swaps they'd be out killing and making an army if they wanted to turn people.
And I totally agree that they likely don't have anything to do with this. It seems too convenient and too... unlikely? It's like Santa, how could one Heartless change this many people? And while we're asleep?
... Sora the wonders were just silly rumors, I investigated them once a while back. The mansion was the only weird place around this town and we both know what was going on there. *He sighs* I'll help kill it of course but mark my words Sora it won't fix this.
*He smiles at Sora* I get that man. And Mig's right even if it's not behind the gender stuff heartless are bad news! *Oathkeeper and Oblivion appear in his hands* Now then where are we headed?
*The heartless' body is covered in flames but it does not cease movement and instead seems excited by the fire. Naby chops off its arms but it just seems to begin growing more arms as they are cut off.*
*The heartless runs at Hibki, excited to share the burning inferno with them*
! *throws water at the heartless and thinks "hmmm great this is not the heartless that can transform peoples genders and if they like it they turn into heartless"*
Hmm let's see what we can do... Yeah. *He snaps his fingers then slices through a tree and kicks off it sending the half he leaps from towards the heartless before he repeats twice more*
*He turns to Mig* Okay what is with everyone tonight? I mean I've had off days myself but two people on one team? *He glares at the heartless* Oh well I could take this thing myself!
*Bufudyne hits the heartless and slowly converts it's firey skin into a crystal like substance, the fire goes out and the heartless ceases all movement*
*The water simply washes off the heartless' new skin*
*The trees hit the heartless but are shattered on its crystal-like skin only leaving a few minor scratches*
*Aitome's sword bounces off the Heartless causing the sword to vibrate*
Hmm you any good with light magic? Actually just follow my lead! * Roxas focuses and a sphere appears the heartless cutting it's weight down to about 1/4 normal* Alright knock it around! And I can't keep this up for ever!
*Nabby shoots the heartless causing it's crystal exterior to crack a little*
*Roxas reduces the heartless' weight as Hibki hit's it with a mighty force attack causing it's crystal like exterior to fade away and reverting it to its original form before it crashes to the ground*
*Aitome slashes at the heartless that is now toppled over and cuts into it*
*The heartless is struggling to get back onto it's feet*
Alright I got something! *His blades vanish as he darts over to the heartless and grabs an arm then channels gravity through it reducing it's weight less then the spell, Roxas then tries to leap into the air and spin the heartless about slamming it into the trees as he turns*
OOC: Well we don't mix Keyblades with Personas, you never fight with yours though so I guess we could just sweep it under the rug if you wanted to switch?
Yeah they don't mix with Personas... Both come from the heart an all? *He shrugs* I think that's it anyways. And what's this about getting possessed Mig?
J-joker...? What's the matter? It's okay... I.... *there's barely a trace of confidence in her own words right now. Oh how Nyarly must love looking down upon this.*
@Migrant When did this happen to you? How can I help? *Is crying through her words. She just wants to help Mig, but doesn't know how, and is upset at herself for that*
*He stands in Aitome's way* I'm sorry you just said you killed a bunch of people and I'm gonna let ya walk away!? *He points Oblivion at Ai* Yeah I'm gonna need answers.
Quietly at first... just some doubts, and fears...
But since last week, just before I changed, it's been stronger. I can hear my shadow.... it tells me that you're going to destroy the nexus, and that it's going to kill me.
And since I spoke with that Null guy.... now it's telling me I have no heart. That I'm nobody, just a jailer..... meant to keep you all here...
*He ignores Aitome and walks over to Mig* What the hell are you talking about? *He smiles at her* I know you've got a heart! *his grin turns to a smirk* Didn't you wonder how I knew it was you from the start? Our hearts have been connected in some way or another Migrant and I won't give up on you even if I barely know you!
*Joker stares at her in disbelief. She doesn't know what to say, Mig's words have left her truly speechless. All she can do is hug Mig and say:" I'm going to help you, I promise you.... *continues to cry*
*Was now crying as well.... and it only gets worse when Nyarly speaks up. The voice and the mist makes her clutch her head and fall to the ground, curling up and sobbing harder.*
*Hugs Migrant for what seems like an eternity, before getting up* I'm gonna get some stuff prepared.... I'm gonna kick that shadow's ass and save you, I swear! *Joker gives Mig a long, passionate kiss before disappearing into the shadows*
Well guess we gotta head out of this little box huh? *He smiles warmly* Alright just stay calm and don't let the darkness into your heart... I can't do anything to help in here but I guess I could leave it for you?
Aw come on Migrant! Your better off letting loose! Look what happened to me after yesterday! I finally got out of that stupid prison of a palace! I've never felt better!
A heart's a heart Mig no matter where it came from! If you feel something anything at all then that mean's you've got a heart. No matter what happens you'll always have that, even if the heartless took it it'd still exist out there waiting to come back... *He looks down* Once I really didn't have a heart ya know, everything felt empty and pointless and there was just nothing.
*His head turns up and he grins at her* But then as time went on I started thinking about things like what would happen to people and I realized that I didn't want my friends to get hurt, heh even an empty shell can become somebody take from me and don't sweat the details! *The box vanishes as his blades from once more and glow with light magic he rushes out and begins cutting down shadows* Now come on pal let's kick some ass!
Well, I certainly aim to please... So, are you going to stand in my way of absorbing this world into the darkness or am I going to have to get...serious?
Like I'm letting you hurt anyone you weird shadowy blob monster! Holy! *His blades disappear as he floats the air and rings of light form around before a volley of light orbs begin to fly straight at Nar's tendrils*
*Roxas cuts through Nyarly's tendrils with the keyblade but a seemingly endless amount come out from the shadows* Young Keyblade wielder? Do you really believe you can stand up to all the darkness in the world?
*He calls out to Mig* I don't know what your deal is with that but you're a jailer you're not a good one! Some people can leave this place when ever they want! So sure maybe you were made for something but that doesn't frigging matter! You're a person and you can make your own choices!
*He spins his blades in a circle and a beam of light crashes around him* I don't give a damn what I can or can't do! I'll stop anything or anyone that tries to hurt my friends! If I gotta take down all the darkness nothingness and light of the worlds to save them then I'll do just that jackass! *He smirks* So yeah compared to how bad it could be I think this shouldn't be that awful.
People can leave.... but I don't want them to leave....
*A distorted voice can be heard by all, "Exactly. If they leave, you're a failure. If they succeed, you'll be left alone, or for dead. The only hope you have is to let them be consumed by a new world. A world without Succoth, a world no one can escape from."*
*Korumi sticks both swords into the ground and concentrates, then cracks start forming moving towards Nyarly, soon the entire area underneath nyarly is completely cracked and explodes in fire
*The darkness is backed away by the light but more slowly crawls in towards Roxas* Simply believing you can do something does not mean you will win...If belief was enough this world would have already been destroyed by my belief in humanities failure...
*The fire tries to engulf the flames but a swarm of black butterflies plugs the hole stopping the flow of flames* It seems none of you are ready yet... I shall leave you with a gift then. *Th mass of shadows melts away into a puddle of black sludge*
*He smirks and leaps into the trees once more before firing a beam of light at Nar* I don't care what you have to say idiot don't you get it? Your just some bits of evil given a mind who even cares!
*He looks over to Mig* And so what if you don't want people to leave!? That just means you care about seeing them again it's not some sinister plot of evil or something! Listen like I said you're my friend and that means I'm gonna help you somehow!
*He stands between Mig and Korumi* Hey give her some slack you jerk! She just had that damned thing crawling around in her head after all. *He turns his head to her and smiles while still keeping an eye on Koru* Hey you feeling any better now that he's gone? If there's anything physical wrong I can fix it.
I just don't like you mocking people for getting hurt. And I only did that because it sounds like he's some ruthless killer to me... I don't think that's totally right after what he said before leaving but still. *His face turns steely* At any rate if you're gonna make fun of my friends then yeah I don't like you.
Hehe, if you want the truth! Im the one who killed them! I simply controlled him to do it! He thinks its all his fault though! I stole every one of his good memories, and left him with the bad ones! Serves him right for keeping me locked up like that!
*He glares at her* Okay what I said before? Yeah I don't just dislike you I hate you now. Still I have to make sure nothing happens to Mig so I'll let it slide this time murderer.
*He scoffs before turning to Mig and trying smile comfortingly* Geez that girl sure is a piece of work huh? Well anyways what are you planning to do next? I just realized I never get to talk with you ya know?
I mean that'd help yeah, I was thinking we might be able to hang out or something first though? I mean you seem pretty cool but I never spend any time around here.
*Suddenly a hand reaches out to Naby handing him some Sea Salt Icecream* Don't look so down, you've gotta keep a smile on your face. Got it memorized? *The figure points at his head with his other hand*
*He grins over at Mig starts to walks out for the forest with her* So how much of this town do you know anyways? *His eyes light up* Oh let's go the clocktower! That place has a great view of the town.
Subways between worlds? That's a new one for me Mig, *He grins as they come to a clocktower* Sounds like a pretty cool idea though. Now come on we're going up there... We can go two ways actually, boring or fun pick one!
*He smirks and grabs hold of her in a bridal carry before dashing straight up the clock tower in a blur then leaps up onto the ledge and sets her down on her feet then smiles like a fool* Whelp I hope that counts as fun to you! I know it is for me. *He sits down on the edge and stares off into the sunset* Man I've missed this view.
