In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

Marluxia, XI, The Graceful Assassin. Such an odd nickname to be given to a man. Most men only know of a barbaric way of fighting. Marluxia takes fighting in a more logical way. If one can make their movements fluid and light. Then a more logical way of fighting comes to light. Marluxia proved this point as his scythe made it's way through 3 Large Bodies.
"These Heartless are getting out of hand. Perhaps this mission will prove to change that." the Assassin muttered as he put Full Bloom back into the Twilight. A couple of kids saw him attacking the Heartless and had their mouths gaping open in amazement. Marluxia simply gave them the cold shoulder. And a couple of Viper Nobodies to ease their "amazement". With his hood pulled up Marluxia walked to the fountain and waited for his comrades.
Rook didn't use the portal in eyesight of Marluxia. He knew the Assassin knew better, but he didn't want to give him the benefit of the doubt of knowing that the redhead was, in fact, succumbing to the darkness he now found himself living in. And despite his coldness on the matter, he was beginning to find comfort in it...
"I doubt you came summoned us here to pick on the local kids, Marluxia," Rook chided, stepping up onto the ledge above Marluxia and the fountain, having come from the First District door behind the fountain, "Before any of the other members show up, you mind letting me in on what you have planned for it?"
(I don't want a posting order. Post when you see it fit)
Marluxia looked up at Rook and gave him the gesture to come down to the fountain. He returned his gaze at the fountain. XI KNEW that a keyhole was here. More or less, if the Organizations research was correct, there should be. XI was also beginning to get annoyed at the fact neither Axel OR Lexaeus have shown up. He didn't bother worrying about Roxas. He doubted Roxas would even consider arriving.
"Rook. Have I told you that even the worlds have Hearts? That there is a sure way to get to these Hearts? And that this world is somehow a passage to those who's worlds have been taken by darkness."
The Assassin turned his head to look at the bell tower above the Gizmo shop. Should it be needed, they will ring the bell three times. What also interested Marluxia was that a giant Heartless appeared at the same time.
The third trip to this World now, Rook knew the second district. He had fought Heartless with Jason the Nobody here. He first met Era here...
He snapped back to the here-and-now, "Worlds have Hearts? Like we--uhm, like I do?"
Rook followed his "mentor's" gaze, his eyes perching on the bell high above the courtyard. Was it related to the mission? Rook wasn't too keen on how the elements that seemed to cause the wars worked, even though he wielded them. Conflicting elements... a bit far off for his limited knowledge.
"How do we get to them? And what do we do with it when we--..." his voice tapered off and Rook was reminded that he was not truly one of them... he was here because Marluxia forced him to be. And because the infiltrating Darkness made him feel... different...
Perhaps it was simply best he stopped asking questions for the time being...
"Indeed they do Rook. Each world has a Heart. The world is destroyed when that heart is "devoured" by the Heartless." Which is the reason the Organization is here. Marluxia NEEDS to know how the Heartless get to it. More importantly, what they do with the energy from it.
"How do we get to them? And what do we do with it when we--..."[/color]
"Simple. We use a keyhole to unlock it. Which is why I brought you here Rook. Your Keyblade will allow you to lock up this world, and possibly unlock the secrets within. However, to reveal it." Marluxia pointed at the Clock Tower, "We need to ring that bell three times. Then destroy the Keyholes guardian....Ahh, Lexaeus. It's about time." XI said as a portal opened up next to him.
"We need to ring that bell three times. Then destroy the Keyholes guardian....Ahh, Lexaeus. It's about time."[/i]
V hates to have his arrival announced to everyone around the area. The Hero slowly walked out of the portal with his hood pulled up and stood beside XI. Lexaeus knew exactly why Marluxia was here. He wanted to turn Traverse Town into darkness for the Organization. Not that V completely agree, but it would fit nicely into Xemnas' plan to go underground.
"Marluxia, why did you bring the child along. The Dark XII will surely be watching us. Elaeus has also done something to mask their scents. So I would advise you not screw up...Rook." V still had his head and eyes in the direction of the Clock Tower. But he still wanted to know why the Assassin brought his "pet" with him. Sure he had a Keyblade. But he has no idea how to even wield it properly.

Lyon was wandering through the streets of Traverse Town, bored. The witch hadn't given him a task recently and free time for him usually meant pick pocketing. As he was walking by he heard several voices.
...advise you not screw up...
He pressed himself against the wall and leaned his head over, there were 3. A giant by height standards with rusty orange hair. A man with red hair who was giving off an aura of light but at the same time darkness, odd. The last had spiked pinkish brown hair. He leaned back toward the wall and turned to it before extending three shadow tendrils from his left hand hooking onto one of the edges. Once having a firm hold he retracted them pulling himself onto the roof. There was a slight thud as he landed. He hoped they didn't hear it as he looked down on them, he blended in pretty well with the dark at times.
Rook sneered at the larger man, "Really? That's all the more productive you can be?" He turned his head back to the bell, nodding at Marluxia, "So that's why you wanted me to join you so bad? So I could help you pick a lock? Color me unimpressed with your scheming... I thought you were actually up to something for a minute..."
A soft thud twitched in Rook's ears. It was subtle, and impossible for him to pinpoint. Probably just more kids, running from the sight. And it was better they did so. Rook got the feeling this District was about to be a lot messier in it's immediate future...
"So that's why you wanted me to join you so bad? So I could help you pick a lock? Color me unimpressed with your scheming... I thought you were actually up to something for a minute..."[/color]
Marluxia sighed. After the amount of time Rook has spent with Marluxia, XI thought the child would have been able to look past what is obvious and look to what the action would cause. Then....a subtle dark aura was present. A weak one. XI shrugged it off as just a couple of Shadows contemplating on if they should attack or not.
"Don't worry yourself with him Lexaeus. I've trained him properly. But Rook. Have ye so little faith? Do you think that this is just a simple lock? There is more going on around you then you think Rook." Marluxia folded his arms and asked Lexaeus.
"When we pull that rope three times, the guardian shall appear. Can you deal with it quickly while I get Rook to unlock the Keyhole?"
Absolute precision would be needed for Rook to unlock the world. If this were to be interrupted, perhaps the Keyhole will protect itself.

Lexaeus gave a simple nod at XI's question. So far only one person has been able to defeat Lexaeus. Ansem himself.
"Rook. I take it you know the consequences of failure?" V pulled down his hood and began to walk towards the bell tower. This mission needs to hurry. V could sense others on their way.

Lyon had managed to hear the gist of what they were saying. Something about unlocking a keyhole. He was sure one of them heard the thud as well from his ear twitch. But what exactly made this keyhole so special and what exactly was this 'guardian'. Too many questions, all he could do was follow them silently. He hoped things didn't turn sour.

Strolling out of the First District into the Second, a chill seeped through as the Ice Witch pushed the double doors open before it closed with a thump. She was on her way to the Third District. Possibly she would be able to meet Maleficent again, if she was still lingering in the district with less activity. In this time, the Second District wasn't as busy; she doubted him anyone was in the hotel. Jadis did have a room in there not wanting to live like a clueless lost vagabond, while she stayed in Traverse Town. The witch didn't have Xavier close by her side; perhaps he was occupying himself or watching from afar.
Hearing voices, Jadis didn't attempt to be silent; she was no longer a stranger here neither was it ever in her personality to hide. As a child of a legacy of powerful rulers of Charn, the Ice Sorceress was raised into being bold in every world and action she made without faltering or flinching. It was the air of dignity royalty wore wherever they go as a small ice droplet crown wrapped around her forehead holding back her hair.
Walking down the path, she noticed a pair of shaddy figures and a boy. Her arms crossed over her chest as a wand was firmly gripped in her hand. They talked of a keyhole, unlocking, and a heart. Jadis was already familiar with a heart; she had kept one frozen for quite some time to regenerate a stronger heartless. They speak of a Guardian as well. A brow arched as she started to sow everything together. Obviously there was a heart, a great component for life, locked away safetly, which had a guardian. If the shady was suppossed to deal with it, then that equates to destroying it. Such business sounded quite destructive. What is locked is supposed to remain that way.
Might as well investigate what is occuring. After all she was on Traverse Town and if this business affected her, she would surely get involved. Also with what she thought of for the near future, this world cannot be in harm. Dark green eyes narrowed as a one of the shady figure pulled of his hood walking away to who knows where. His hair was brown with a muscular built, but he was still shorter than Jadis. The other shady figure had bright pink hair, who seemed to be a mentor of the red-head.
Walking down the stairs, she turned towards these new visitors. For the time she have been here never had she seen their faces, which only made them more questionable.
"Usually greetings would be highly recommended, but I'm more interested in what you are doing at the moment. Simple words like a heart and handling a guardian is enough to strike suspicion with the addition of never seeing your faces. What are you doing here?"
Rook nodded at Lexaeus. He had never opened anything with his Keyblade before. he had no real idea how to use it, honestly. But he would give it the ole college try, "I understand..."
"Usually greetings would be highly recommended, but I'm more interested in what you are doing at the moment. Simple words like a heart and handling a guardian is enough to strike suspicion with the addition of never seeing your faces. What are you doing here?"
Rook looked back at his two companions. It seems they were found out, and Rook shook his head with a shrug as if to tell them "this isn't my fault!" He summoned his Keyblade to show Marluxia he was prepared to go ahead with their plan, and turned away from the Ice Witch, focusing on the task at hand.
"Usually greetings would be highly recommended, but I'm more interested in what you are doing at the moment. Simple words like a heart and handling a guardian is enough to strike suspicion with the addition of never seeing your faces. What are you doing here?"
Great. A curious human. A, WOMAN to be more precise. Marluxia sighed at the humans words. He gave a gesture to Lexaeus to keep going.
"Our business is of no concern to yours. In fact, you should be honored. You'll be the first to witness the rise of power of the great Organization XIII. But for now return to your house or shack, were ever you came from." XI turned his body back to were it was before the intruder arrived.
"Even should that woman decide to attack. Rook will be the first to counter, then myself. Two attacks at once from very different angles. No chance for survival." XI thought as he gave a slight chuckle.

Jadis, what was she doing here. She was obviously confident even though it was 3 to 1 as far as she could see. He drew his osafune silently, he didn't like the look of where things were going. It'd be 3 on 2 if it came to that. Though he could sense power from the giant and the one with the odd hair color. He looked to the one with the light and dark aura, he'd probably end up as his opponent. He just hoped Jadis was as strong as she seemed.
