Darkness meets Light

[Whats_Up4444]

Off in the worlds. In dark space, is a world like most, which in truth is the last remnant of all worlds. Keyblades scattered across this entire world. Desert sand upon the metal. Crators cause by chaos. For power. For truths. For a way to end it. For reasons soon forgotten even to themselves. On the battlefield, it's just to fight. 

Darkness and Light. 

Light  in Darkness.

A boy in black shorts and shirt, along with black hair, was sitting on a large rock. He was looking out in front. To his left was what seen like a explosive battle. A large cliff also to his side. Of course this is in one place where the great Keyblade War was held. Along with two other events. The one of the blue haired Master, and of the other war.

A portal of pure light appears behind the young man.

A boy of identical appearence walks out, but this one looked like all color was stripped away. White all over.

"Took you long enough" the dark one said.  The voice familer but almost seemed lost. Words, without a voice.


"I guess I just got lost" The light one answered.

"How's that?" The dark one was not even turning around. He somehow just knew he was there. 

"Being another person". The light one's voice was down.

The dark one continued to look out away from the other. 

"Everything I've tried isn't working" The light one sighed. "Are friends the only true way?"

"I lost myself" The dark one spoke. "The vital part of me. A small piece. It soon grown larger from what I seen. But lately I've grown as well. Grown tired of waiting for you".

"I'll never find my heart unless I become the real me. Lies are what's holding me back". The light one explained.

They then both went silent. Wind crossing by. Whistling in the air in the sky.

"Do you remember what it was like before? In the 'cell'" The dark one asked.

"Of course I do!" The light one shouted. "It was dark. Scary. I'd get lost. I'd fell weaker and weaker as the darkness just grew and engulfed me. But still I was there. The little glint. The tiny spark. But that's how I was just was. But I was big. In the beginning I was the same as the darkness. But I soon was being engulfted and shadowed. If the darkness wasn't there I could be as big as the darkness itself. But I couldn't. An Engulfted Angel".

The light one looked up to the dark one as he just stared away from him.



"I was about to die. I felt it. The last little glint I was, was about to vanish. So I escaped. Then I was who I was! I was strong. I was bright! I was a star. Burning bright only appearing small from the dark sky above overshadowing me".

"But then the darkness was gone?"

"Yeah...was it like that for you? A bright light in your way". The light one asked the other.

The dark one was motionless.

"No. I was the darkness. And you was the light. You was intentionally cast away. To strengthen the darkness. But after learning the possibly in the situation. I...no. WE couldn't pass up the chance".

"I think it's time....to make my way back to the world I knew" The white clothed one said his head bowed. "Where I belong....but please...before I do....please,"  The boy started shaking when he started to sob and cry with tears falling "for this one time, Just let me be myself. So I can shine with my own light. Let me be myself. Let my heart be for what it truly is....let it be bright....please"

"Fine" the dark clothed one said.

"Thank you. It's all I ever wanted from this world....Is to, let me be me".

And with that the boy in white disappeared in a burst of light and the boy in black disappeared in a shroud of darkness.

"Well, I never knew it could do that."

Aleri stepped into the chamber with a mock bow, amused at how Lance had just upgraded his Keyblades. "I mean, that thing was just a good-luck charm I held on to. I never thought of equipping it. I mean, it had all Rexial's memories in it, and mine, too. You'd think I'd have tried it..."

"And before you ask why I'm here, and not still training Sammy and Naomi, Rex convinced me that we started too late in the day. It's a little pointless to start training in the afternoon, right? Ya gotta start in the mornin'!" He declared enthusiastically before realizing that Sylvia and Archer were in the room. The aspiring Keyblader Wielder cringed a little. Those two were strangely intimidating...

"I, uh... aheh, didn't see you two here. So, w-why is everybody gathered like this? It doesn't look like a social gathering..." He mumbled awkwardly.

Don't piss off the lady pirate... don't piss off the lady pirate...!
Oh, who am I kidding? She's probably already mad because of how I appeared out of nowhere. Why did I have to make a show of it...? And how did I live this long, making such obvious slip-ups?

[lethalityComplex]

A Felix screen, surrounded by a body made of ethereal material, appeared in front of Aleri. "Don't worry, you'll be fine. In the meanwhile, I had something to give you." He was holding a crown-chain, a black and blue one, covered in a circuit-line type pattern. "It was built especially for Lance, but since he has a new charm, I modified it so you can use it. Enjoy."

A figure within the rim of a massive crater sighed, putting aside a pair of binoculars. Scribbling down something in text illegible to all but a few, the figure wiped his brow after finishing.

"Damn it all, why am I the one always sent out to do this?" Oxthmas said with much frustration. Lifting a hand, he summoned a Jackpot and handed the notepad off to it. The Jackpot bowed before disappearing.

"Ah well, least now I can get a good game at the pub with everyone."

With that said, Oxthmas disappeared in a cloud of coins, reappearing far away from the once connected world, now separated into countless stars. Outside a pub so familiar to him now he opened the door, met with the sight of Roland attempting to arm wrestle Gregor again. Gunamnex sat next to the two warriors, peering over the same notepad from before. Oxthmas made his way over to the group's table and sat down, almost instinctively he began shuffling a deck of cards.

"So, is this something warranting our attention?" Oxthmas asked as he began to deal cards out, Roland and Gregor having finished in a tie somehow.

Gunamnex looked up and shook his head no, putting aside the notepad and looking at the cards now in his hands.

"Well, that leaves just more reconstruction to do then" Roland said in response. He and Gregor still eyed one another down, trying to guess what the other one had in his hand.

"Such is shall be till we are needed" Gunamnex said, laying his hand down, a set of two 7's and two ace's. Roland and Gregor both set down pairs of 6's and 8's, dumbfounded that they matched. Oxthmas snickered and laid down a straight flush in hearts. The others all threw up their hands in disbelief. Oxthmas smirked and began to dealt out a new hand, and the group continued to play amidst the bustling atmosphere of the tavern.

"Huh." Sylvia merely stared at Lance's new Keyblades as he gave them a few practice swings, looking somewhat bemused. "Are your hounds gonna have a magical transformation too? Because nothing surprises me anymore...", she sighed.

Her head jerked slighty at Aleri's subdued voice, her lips curling in irritation. "Oh. It's you. Can't you just dig into our minds and find out? Or is that just a neat trick for your other half?" She smiled coldly.

[NebulaGregarZX]

Aleri barely glanced at Felix, accepting the keychain without any fuss. He was more worried about Sylvia. "...Well, it's common courtesy not to dig into peoples' minds for information, when you can just ask. Do you take me for some kind of psycho? 'Cuz, well... no, you're thinking of Rexial. If you have some kind of problem, take it up with him, not me!" Sheesh, I'd rather she still thought I was a woman than put up with this. At least I'm not backing down right now.

...He immediately facepalmed, realizing that he had accidentally - yet strongly - implied that, yes, he could read their minds.

[Aleri obtained the Keychain "Prelude"!]

[ARanger]

Sylvia sighed. "Look, pretty-boy. From what I can gather of all this Nobody-Somebody stuff, you're both the same person, right? With slight differences, I admit," she shrugged, gesturing to Aleri's long hair. "And you sure as hell just told me that you can pick our brains like you're in a tea party. So I ain't gonna start treating you like you're my pal. Got it?" She finished with a severe expression.

[NebulaGregarZX]

He sighed heavily. "You understand the Nature-versus-Nuture psychological case, don't you? And I don't think the slight differences are really so slight. At our core, we're definitely the same, but I know we're not so similar that we should both get the same treatment for whatever Rex did." Aleri had to tread carefully, and avoid reading her mind. If he knew her thoughts, he might slip up and say something he couldn't know otherwise.

"Er, Lance? Mind if I ask what on Synthisle Rexial did get earn enough ire for TWO people?"

[Whats_Up4444]

<Okay what do I do?!?!

Time to use Yuki, or SOMETHING!

Maverick! We need ideas!>

[Haar_Dragon]

<Well, we've been missing you in FGA and Team Obsidian...>

[lethalityComplex]

<Sweet name for the keychain, Neb! I was trying to think of one, but came up blank.>

The Felix screen went over to the corner, just out of sight of the others and sat down.

[Whats_Up4444]

<Well, we've been missing you in FGA and Team Obsidian...>

<FGA is getting slow and F*** I FORGOT ABOUT THE POKEMOM RP!!!!!!>

[ARanger]

F*** I FORGOT ABOUT THE POKEMOM RP!!!!!!>

(That typo made me giggle, ngl. )

"Ugh. I wouldn't waste your Majesty's breath, if I were you," Sylvia rolled her eyes. "Let's just say that Rexial's lucky that my ire is all he's getting..."

She tapped her full pockets with a satisfied smile. "So. This X-Sigma guy. He wants to destroy the universe, right? I really highly doubt one man has the power to do such a thing though, so he shouldn't be too difficult to do in, right?"

[Haar_Dragon]

She tapped her full pockets with a satisfied smile. "So. This X-Sigma guy. He wants to destroy the universe, right? I really highly doubt one man has the power to do such a thing though, so he shouldn't be too difficult to do in, right?"

<X-Sigma: *snrk* >

[NebulaGregarZX]

Aleri burst out into sarcastic laughter. "PshAAAHahahahahaha... Yeah, because that's SO unbelievable. I can summon a giant key-shaped sword, open corridors that let me cut any walking distance down to about ten feet, and blow things up with magic. Is it really so hard to believe that somebody who is ungodly-powerful could destroy the universe?" There was the slightest edge to his voice now, the fact that she didn't seem to be taking X-Sigma seriously enough bothering him.

"You've never met him." Any false mirth in his tone vanished. "I fought him, and had help, and we could barely distract him for a time. If you think it's going to be easy, you're in for several worlds of surprise, and a truckload of pain. If you wanna test him, best bring your best."

[Haar_Dragon]

<...Sonic '06, Nebula? Sonic '06?

JK, His World kicks ass.>

[NebulaGregarZX]

<I tend to put song references into my dialogue a lot, don't I? Well, I actually thought that saying it like that had better flow to it than the slightly-different phrase I was going to use.>

[Haar_Dragon]

<What was the other phrasing?>

[NebulaGregarZX]

<"If you want to beat him, you better bring your best." ...Actually, maybe I DID just change it as a reference to His World...>

[ARanger]

"Whoa, Nancy. I never said I thought it was gonna be easy," Sylvia frowned. "I don't have an ego the size of this castle, unlike you or your other, you know." She folded her arms with a serious expression. "It's just that the threat of destroying the universe is something I find unbelievable. Guess it's the kind of power I gotta see for myself....", she admitted with a small nod. "I may not be as powerful as you lot, but hey. I like a good fight," she smirked.

"So! Your Highness. Give me more of a lowdown on this guy. Is he a Heartless? Nobody? Something else entirely?" She inquired Lance with a quirked eyebrow. "And how do we kill him?"

[Admin (HalcyonWandering)]

"We think he's human... Emphasis on think. But, he's got some sort of weird energy to him and doesn't give any sort of concern for his own well being during battle. It's a strange style of high risk, high reward that works rather well." Lance said plainly as Maya emerged from his shadow nodding in agreement.

"Very hard to track too... Maya tried and failed..." She looked a little downcast by her own remark.

[NebulaGregarZX]

Aleri uncrossed his arms and relaxed, not realizing that he had been so tense from the thought of X-Sigma. "Don't worry about it, Maya. I'm sure he'll show himself when he makes his move, anyway, knowing him. He's an arrogant, conceited son of a puppy-killer, and he's not going to be subtle. Even if he doesn't show himself, no doubt you'll be able to detect his location when he tries to pull off his universal destruction schtick." He tried to be as reassuring as he could, hiding his worries to resolve Maya's.

...What am I worrying about, anyway? If we fail, we're all going to be wiped from existance, no afterlife, nor revival, no second chances. Oblivion awaits if we fail. So it's not like I have to live with the consequences of my failure. If we lose, game over. I should just give it everything I have, and then some, and hope we pull through. Worrying isn't going to change anything!

[lethalityComplex]

The Felix screen turned to Aleri, somehow knowing what he was thinking, and said, "Oblivion? More like an interdimensional rift. Many multiverses exist other than this one that are exact copies with one change, sitting on other dimensional planes. If X-Sigma succeeds, the fabric of this dimension will rip and anything sitting in the oblivion when it does will be sucked onto another dimensional plane. So, there's a second chance to live, but I'm not sure on how our lives will be, e.g, we may get sucked into a dimension where it rains donuts instead of water."

[Admin (HalcyonWandering)]

Lance looked angrily at Felix, "You aren't helping the morale here, Felix. Go back to the Spirit Guardians..."

[lethalityComplex]

The Felix screen scowled, and said to Lance, "I'm not actually Felix, the real one is at the SW HQ, I'm just a drone made from ethereal material sent to observe. I'll make sure to keep my mouth shut from now on, as long as you don't send me back, but, in all seriousness, the SW do need to see what's going on, I mean, possible destruction of the multiverse and all that exist within it is a pretty important matter."
