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.

(o.o Sorry guys, been working so much I lost track of a thread. >.<)
Ienzo rushed forward as his fellow Dark member wrought a wall of Darkness behind the girl who was most obviously somebody of Light. Really? Why was he making such brash moves in the centre of the RGRUC's territory? And- Ienzo stopped. A Princess of Heart? With black hair and pale skin?
The umbramancer skimmed through the data that he stored in his memory. That was impossible. There were only a select few in the Worlds that could be Princesses, and this girl was not one of them. But the scent- it was unmistakable. This was a Princess, no doubt about it. Ienzo only wished he could have glimpsed the girl's face directly, for he'd be able to tell immediately who it was.
He looked to the people beside him. "Well?!" he demanded, rushing forward. "That guy's a Heartless! Let's do something about it!"
Shudin stood in disbelief for a moment. All he had done was follow Alkana up here, and now all this was happening. A series of lies, appearances, and accusations. The young man needed to make some sense of it.
After he had tried bargaining with Akana, another man... 'Ien' he called himself, had shown up out of nowhere, and accused Alkana of being a Heartless. Shudin didn't know what to think of this. Yes, somehow Alkana could control Heartless, but that didn't necessarily mean he was one.... right? That, and Ien claimed his "smell" gave him away. But how could he smell the difference between Heartless and humans? Shudin had been eliminating Heartless for a few years, and he had never been able to 'smell' them.
In reaction to Ien's accusation, Alkana somehow created a dark barrier around them, though he remained in a non-threatening position. Still confused, Shudin looked around and saw the island girl from before, inside the barrier. Three strangers and himself...
"That guy's a Heartless! Let's do something about it!" Ien said.
Shudin took a few steps back, drawing his sword as he did so. "I'm... not so sure..." he said, "What are you? I've never heard of anyone named 'Ien' here... Nevermind someone who can distingiush Heartless by smell..."

Ruold once more sighed. Ienzo had sort of given himself away; no normal known being could detect scents that wasn't affiliated with Darkness. "Well, now. It seems you just won't settle down. This ought to hold you."
A well-timed Stopga, effectively halting Ien... That would buy him enough time to pull a stunt. Dashing at the fastest speed he could achieve, he made a grab at the girl, who was hopefully also affected by the spell. At the same pace, he returned to his original position, and summoned Charades.
This appeared to be going much more smoothly than he'd thought. He had sealed them in -and others out- and given himself two lines of defense.
"Now, look what you made me do... Come, now. As for you, boy, I am indeed a Heartless. I knew from the first time we'd met... you aren't one to go down easily. Not that I want your Heart. We can discuss later, but right now my leave is necessary, apparently. If everyone here disappears from this world, no one to blab to about this affair."
Ruold tried his best with that little monologue to sway both the boy and the one who faked caring. With any luck, the former would come; the latter knew better than to blab, and, oh, would he get it if he did. And the girl... She wouldn't move is she knew what was good for her. Charades surrounded her, his hand was cloaked in shadows.... Even if she attempted to attack, he would retaliate against her to unconsciousness. After all, Master Ansem's last plan involved her kind; might as well let him start over again.
A corridor of darkness appeared at his whim, and he motioned for any and all to follow. He was almost home free.

Why does that sound so…familiar From her memory she doesn’t remember an Ien from anywhere. There wasn’t an Ien from the islands, which only irritated more of where that familiar distant ring came from. She looked at him critically as if staring at his profile long enough would jog her memory. Still trying to cover a fantasy of memory wasn’t her high priority. He was right no matter how he knew; there was a heartless among them, but the other boy brought up a good point.
How could he know? She knew because of what she was, a Princess of Heart. Darkness was a direct opposite of her so she could feel its distinctive presence. This led her to the question: ‘what was he?’ The ability to sense darkness didn’t seemed so common, since the only other she knew who had it were fellow Princesses, and there sure wasn’t any Princes of Heart from her knowledge. If so one would think some boys would’ve been snatched up two years ago. You can’t trust anyone…what have the worlds came to…
Kairi gasped once being gripped, but instinctively she tugged and squirmed from him unwillingly. It dawned on her instantly; he knew what she was. Her eyes widened at her foolishness. Such disguise hardly helped her shield herself from enemies, but deviate friends away from her for being unrecognizable. Also she had become so acquainted with roaming outside the protective city walls that she had waltzed into this situation even if she did came to warn another not to her usual lollygagging of training with her keyblade.
Regardless of her mistake, she knew one thing, “I’m…not…going anywhere with YOU!”
She yanked back from his grasp and grabbed his face as a beacon of light through. She made a run for it without care what those orbs would do to her; she just knew she rather be damned and offed to Kingdom Hearts before being whisked away by Heartless like a light weighted cargo. Pivoting on her toes she turned around to face the Heartless, but she stood at an angle to be aware of this Ien. “I will make sure they know of you, EVERYONE! Security will tighten and you will NEVER be able to step foot on this world without being blown up,” on cue, her keyblade refused to be held back any longer as it shimmered out as she pointed it forward threateningly; screw the hiding it got her nowhere, and she sure as hell won’t go without a fight. As her confidence, defiance, and stubbornness grew, her necklace too began a faint glow.
Her eyes glanced over at the blunette, “You shouldn’t go with him; there’s no good in anything he can offer. Look at what he had done to himself. Whatever he gave you, give it back. No one should really want a life like that scavenging and lost. His heart is lost…in all of that darkness.”
Shudin didn't move, still keeping his sword drawn. in the last minute or so, it was asif theboy had been pressed with an important decision. To his left, the Heartless who openly admitted being so, despite not giving a real name. He had unlocked something in Shudin though, and the young man couldn't help but be curious to find out more.
To his right, however was the island girl, apparently a keybearer as well... She seemed like a good person, but her words really were just a re-iteration of what Shudin had been told, and followed all his life to this point.... And where had it gotten him? Nowhere...
"I'm sorry..." he said to the island girl, "But I have good reason...." He walked over towards 'Alkana' and the corridor of darkness. Maybe it wasn't the most trusted path, but it felt like the only path that would lead to progress....

One down, one to go.
Ruold wasn't going to let that girl leave here. It wouldn't be pretty, but he had to ensure he didn't jeopardize Ienzo's setup in this world. Sure, a girl disappearing would be suspicious, but not as much as the same girl reporting a failed kidnapping. And, whatever Master Ansem was planning last time would require her this time. It wasn't the most gentlemanly thing to do, but after a blast to the face.... "N-nooooo!!"
The Walker of the Wheel purified himself into darkness, and gave himself the appearance of fading away. A few seconds later, however, he appeared right next to that bothersome Princess of Heart, and cast his seal on her. Then, to ensure she didn't escape, he cast Disable and Immobilize as well. Then, he would take her by the hand and drag her off on their merry way. Hopefully, there would be no further trouble with this one, but from her earlier retaliation, it would seem that it wouldn't be so...
Ienzo snarled. His eyes flashed, the silver seeming to darken to the color of stone. His jacket, unbuttoned, flew around him as he ran forward, trying to figure out what the hell his teammate was getting himself into. Didn't he know?! The Princesses couldn't be that easily hurt by the Darkness. He was going to get himself killed! He'd seen the Light they possessed only once, and had gained an immediate respect for their defenses.
His sword was at his side at an instant, and the Fever's eye looked around in an attempt to find what they were attacking. What to do, what to do? How could he avoid hurting anybody in this situation? I mean, his fellow Heartless could be hurt a little, it was better than being hurt by the pure Light a Princess of Heart could use... But I had to worry about avoiding pain himself while also getting his compadre out of the way.

He wasn’t listening to her, and what would be a good reason? Yes Riku had done it, but even he saw it as a mistake and even a monstrosity before he can cope and accept what was now a part of him. That what angered her more about it; his blind stupid alliance with an unknown darkness was a mockery at her friend’s struggle. Also she had a bloody keyblade, and one would think that would amount to some credibility. With such inner struggle, she could think of associating herself with him. In a way, he stepped on what they, Sora, Riku, and her, believed in and stood up for.
Yes, her heart told her everyone’s worth saving, but how can you help one who didn’t want to be helped? What was the purpose of the keyblade if one can’t save everyone? Would that mean she protects who wanted to be protected, and the others are left to their own demise of their own foolishness. He didn’t deserve her empathy, since she couldn’t understand him; her sympathy was short lived when the heartless pursued her again.
Before the seal was stamped, her necklace was already fully activated a spirit lashed out to be reached. With more distress yells, Kairi tried to squirm but found herself unmovable. She couldn't even twitch her fingers. With will still strong she tried to break whatever that was holding her.
"GAAAH GET OFF OF MEE!" She shouted as her necklace shimmered an earthly green, but her heart was already a step ahead as light began to accumulate. She was not the same girl two years ago, and even then her heart was elsewhere to begin with, and she was definitely not the same person who was snatched last year. This Kairi was just as stubborn as before now she had her own artillery she can click into. Feeling a ebbing drain, she panicked, and her heart let them have it.
You will regret this… whether it’s by her hand, Sora’s, or Riku’s. In a flash, Radiance blew out the Villain’s Vale with whiteness, while rejecting the portal that led to the realm of darkness. The radiance of light damaged the seal that prohibited her to leave. The strength in her muscles returned as the dullness of stillness left.
Oh crap I got a chance, With a wave of her keyblade, petals fell over her restoring the energy she had; she would make a run for it before the light began to dwindle in its shine. Still her necklace shined with an etheral sound calling her name.
Shudn looked back towards the Keybearer as he walked towards the Corridor of Darkness, and saw Ruold trying to capture her. From Shudin's knowledge of keybearers, he knew that couldn't have been the smartest move, and he was about to protest, when a powerful light came from the girl, and obstructed Shudin's sight. "Gah!" he said, staggering back a few steps.
When his vision returned, he looked for the Corridor of Darkness, and realizedit had disappeared... But nobody had left, so that only meant.... Alkana! Or, whatever-your-name-is.... Let her go! She's going to be too much trouble! he warned. He wasn't sure if the Heartless would listen, but he hoped so...
Shudin then turned his attention to the third stranger... Ien. He had rushed forward and summoned a weapon. Shudin didn't know where Ien's loyalties were, but decided the best course of action would be to keep him from harming either Alkana, or the Keybearer.
With a frustrated sigh, he ran in front of Ien, and held his sword in a defensive manner. "Not happening..." he said.

Somehow the girl had thrown off his bindings, an infallible combination.... And what was worse, a stronger version of her previous attack shot at him, while breaking his spell. It seemed that the boy -whose name he still knew not- was going to defend him from his comrade, Ienzo.
Ruold wished luck to him.
But that Princess... he had gone through far too much trouble to find her and wear her down -to no effect, it seemed, as she quickly healed herself- and he would not have it if she went and blabbed about this encounter. He opened another Corridor of Darkness to replace the one the pure-of-heart had obliterated.
Not that it would help, seeing as how he was immobilized and blinded temporarily by her attack. And that didn't include the previous damage he had taken. He was wide open; the girl didn't prove to be a threat, but that boy was his only defense against Ienzo. Speaking of which, that umbramancer should really work on his manners. Attacking a fellow XII member, it's something to be scoffed at!
Ruold was regaining control of his body and sight; he had noticed with the latter that the girl was trying to escape. Well, we couldn't have that, now could we? The Walker of the Wheel shrouded himself with his calignous cape, transforming into a Heartless long since past. The ghostly shadow flew deftly and with haste to block the girl's path once more. Keyblade or no, he couldn't be hurt easily in this form.
But, oh, how he hated to have to play the bad guy.
A voice, like whispers on wind, resounded throughout the area: Apologies.... You won't be escaping with such ease...
And now... this was where the fight began.

Ienzo paused, surprised as the boy before him drew a weapon.
It was impossible. They couldn't tell. This distrust, what was the cause? Ienzo's eyes narrowed. Of course Tifa had never said it aloud, Ienzo understood that. The fact that she was the one who allowed him within the city. The only other ones who knew about his existence within these walls were Merlin and Goofy, a short meeting that had taken place a long time ago. And Ansem had told nobody. He had more issues to attend to than watching Ienzo's weak presence within this city. Ienzo was no assassin, nor was he really a spy. He did no workings on the inside, he was merely here, watching.
Doing anything more would get him killed.
What Ruold was doing was simply dangerous. It wasn't his fault, he didn't know. But he risked the chance of raising investigations once more. Ienzo would have to explain himself to Tifa the best he could so as to keep her trust, but keep enough information that Lord Ansem would let him hold his position. And this kid in front of him was blocking his only chance at removing any collateral damage from this equation.
He gritted his teeth. "Don't just stand there, genius," he growled at kid. "Instead of blocking me you could assist the Princess, damnit!" He could feel the negativity building, rushing to replace the remnant memories of happiness he had created. This kid was really getting on his nerves.
