Evil Recruitment (Maleficent, PM to join)

Maleficent wandered the station square in Twilight Town, hoping for new recruits in her council of villains. Her search had been small, but she hoped for better things to come. As she walked, she noticed a man who was wandering around as well, a man who had seemed to be lost. She laughed to herself, hoping that she could corrupt this man's soul and use him for her own deeds. She walked toward the man, the words escaping her mouth as she approched. "A lost soul wandering a world of Twilight. One must be careful in worlds such as these. The heartless prey upon the weak and unprepared."[/color] She wondered what would come of this encounter and if he would even know of who the Heartless were. Now it was his turn. Where would he stand in a battle against good and evil? And when that battle comes.... Which side will win?

So it seemed the man would engage her in conversation. Maleficent was pleased with this. She needed people to aid her in her efforts against Sora and the Organizations. Perhaps this man would be of help, especially if he believed he was not weak and unprepared. "A world of Twilight, a world landing in between the lands of light and darkness. This world, permanently cast in eternal twilight. One must be careful. For the heartless and nobodies thrive in such worlds. But if you are not weak or unprepared, then you shall hold no trouble against them. Perhaps you can show me how strong and prepared you really are..."[/color] She said as she snapped her fingers. 5 shadows, 3 soldiers, and 2 darkballs appeared, surrounding Jack and all moving in for attack. "Go, my heartless. Test this man. If he is not worthy, then his heart is yours for the taking."[/color] She said, laughing as she stood back, watching the man and what he did against the heartless.

Maleficent watched the man as he swung his sword around, killing both a shadow and a soldier. But just then, another of the soldiers started to spin toward him, trying to spin kick him. Whether or not the attack was dodged, one of the darkballs would be the next to strike. The body of the darkball seemingly shrunk before exploding outward and bounding around Jack. Maleficent smilled, her staff raising as she watched him continue to fight the heartless. Perhaps he would be special, and of use to her. But she wanted to see if he possessed more abilities then just sword fighting ones before determining if he was worthy of being a member of the council. That answer would come soon enough.

Maleficent watched the man swing the sword. There was more that he could do, and of that she was sure. But was he going to reveal to her what he could do? It was hard to say. However, it was short lived before he did reveal what he could do. He could transform, but he initial showing of this was to a weak rabbit. Why of all things would he transform into that, and what else was the man able to transform into? She continued to watch as he would inadvertantly answer that exact question.

He then transformed into Marluxia of Organization XIII, complete with his Scythe. Perhaps he could transform into things he had seen? But when had he seen the member of the Organization of nobodies? It was hard to say for certain, but she was certainly pleased. If he could control his transformations, he would easily be a great asset to Maleficent's plan. As he removed a few more heartless, Maleficent snapped her fingers. The heartless stopped their attack and came to her side.

"I believe that you have proved yourself splendidly. You most certainly are not weak and unprepared. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Maleficent. Now then... Would you be so kind as to reciprocate the introduction?"[/color] She said to Jack, hoping that he would not immediately strike towards her. She feared not for herself, but for the man before her should that happen as she would send him into the darkest recesses of space. But he did not wish for this as she wanted his aid in the Hellfire Council. He would be a better pawn then Riku ever was. More so in that he could impersonate Riku as well as any he wished. That was a talent that was most helpful.

A smile pursed the lips of Maleficent as she turned to the heartless that remained at her side. She snapped her fingers once more, allowing them to return to the Realm of Darkness to regain their strength. "Heartless... Creatures without minds of their own, those who strike humans for their hearts. and Nobodies... Creatures without hearts, allowing them no emotions, but a mind to plan and enact those plans. Such simple creatures, but very obediant..... The heartless listen to me for I allow them strike as they please. They get the hearts they want for a simple price of listening to me and doing my bidding."[/color] She started to say before she finally turned back around to Jack.

"You say that you have met the nobody, Marluxia. Strange that he did not steal you for himself. What exactly did he tell you? And where did you learn to use such a strange yet wonderous power?"[/color] She asked. He had asked her a question, and now she felt it necessary to ask him. She thought more and more about how he would be of great use to her, and she may even take him on as her personal apprentice, passing on the knowledge of controlling the heartless and aiding in running the council. Now it's a matter of finding out his abilities and helping him with advancing them. But is he truly worthy of it? That will come at a later time. For now, the questions would need to be answered.

Marluxia was a fool to let a prized man such as this slip from his fingers. Maleficent saw how wonderful his powers were, and she would scoop him up and take him as her own apprentice. But now she needed to know... Could he do anything else besides his transformation? And what could she help him learn? Now it was time to ask more.

"Well, Jack. What do you say to a proposition of mine? One where I make you my assistant, or apprentice, whichever word you might choose to describe it. And in return, I will aid you in honing your skills even more, as well as learning new ones. Perhaps in turn, I may even teach you to control the heartless. But on your part... You must aid me in my quest for Kingdom Hearts, the Heart of all hearts. The one that will allow me and my Council of villains to regain all that we have lost. What do you say? Will you aid me in return for me to aid you?"[/color]

She asked as she held out her hand for Jack to take it. If he would, she would smile and release it, allowing him to hopefully feel the slight amount of dark energy she would place inside of him through the handshake. This dark energy would allow him insight on the happenings of the world. What she knew of keyblades, Kingdom Hearts, the Princesses of Heart, Organization XIII, the Dark XII, Heartless, Nobodies, even the long dead Unversed, and Master Xehanort from way back when. She would look to him when the flashback of her memories would finish going through and ask one simple question...

"Any questions?"[/color]

Maleficent laughed slightly as he let go of her hand, ending the rememberance of memories. His expression and staggered words showed her exactly what he was thinking. She turned to him and held up a finger, trying to get him to be quiet. When he finally asked his question, she nodded, ready to explain.

"I have been living for some length of time. That... Was my memories of our enemies. The keybladers, Organization XIII, the Dark XII, and so on, as well as my memories of our ultimate goal, Kingdom Hearts. From the images and video you were shown, you now know a lot of what I know regarding the vast worlds. So... I ask you again... Any questions?"[/color]
