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.

Zexion was actually disappointed to see that no one actively took notice of his appreance. Did one need to kill an innocent man to get attention around here? Well, if one must-
His thoughts were cut off by the revealing of another individual- a Heartless, by scent. He didn't recognise who, exactly, but he was sure it was a Dark XII member. Well, an interesting cast of characters here.
Zexion portaled out of his position, to right among those who were involved. "Well, well, well. Look who's here- Roxas, our traitor. Goofy, who I haven't yet had the pleasure to meet, but I'm sure you've heard of me. And Seed. I've seen you in a picture, but never in person. And many others. Well, I'm glad to make your aquaintance, all of you. But I can't help but notice the tension. What's happened?" he said, all with a fake friendly smile.
Roxas felt the disappearance of the samurai nobody, and stopped. He was still within the dark realm, and so he wasn't in the same plane as the others, but he could feel it. And, it came with a familiar stench...
That smell... the 'weakling' that Lexaeus caught! Why is he here...
He also felt Zexion arrive, and then as he exited his dark portal behind the pod, he felt another dark presence, similar to Seed's. As Seed pulled his multiplication trick, Roxas summoned two more Samurai Nobodies. Upon appearing, the Samurai drew their weapons and readied to attack the foolish heartless. Just wait until Axel and Xemnas hear about this...
As Roxas was about to summon his own weapons, the dark presence that had been emanating from inside the pod briefly intensified, and then a voice was heard, presumably from one of the soldiers... Roxas became confused. He held out a hand, signaling the Samurai to stand down, and they sheathed their weapons.
He decided not to say anything overtly, but was tempted to ask Zexion what was going on when the other Nobody appeared nearby.
Traitor?... I'm no traitor. Marluxia is a traitor! He's the one who left! Grr...
Instead of openly arguing with the other nobody, Roxas decided to just give a brief, confused look in the cloaked schemer's direction.
Returning his attention to the situation at hand, he shook his head, muttering..."Heh, helpful or not, I think he needs to get back under his leash..."
Roxas smirked, and his fingers twitched- his weapons were ready to be drawn.
((Round Three ends January 22nd. Apologies, my Audrey muse isn't feeling that great.))
Her expression was serious, her look was fierce. One could easily tell that she had been seriously pissed off. The young mechanic was quite angry at this man; having a short temper didn't really help her in cooling off, especially since that green headed hag had decided to taunt her further. She wrinkled her nose in disdain as the man continued to talk, not really paying attention to his threats and attempts to intimidate her.
"Two." Rocío cleared her throat, cutting him mid-monologue as she blinked. But this man wasn't probably thinking about going away; he continued to face her, talking and talking and talking. The latina took a deep breath, but before she was given the chance to utter the next number, the green headed man executed his plan.
It all happened so quickly she was barely given a chance to react. The man was suddenly everywhere, as if he had somehow managed to multiply himself, creating a handful of carbon copies. Her muscles tensed as she looked around, her face showing slight shock; her grip on the small handgun was tightened. Audrey Ramirez was afraid.
The male's voice was amplified, echoing around the place as he continued to speak. Her hand curled into a fist as the clones grinned at her, ready to be thrown at any of them if they decided to stroll nearby. But when the opportunity to do so finally came she found herself unable to move; she was paralyzed by fear.
And suddenly more people started to pop out of nowhere. The boy that had helped them earlier, Roxas, seemed to be there as well as a blue headed man that she could have mistaken for a woman at the first glance. While the former seemed eager to strike the green annoyance into oblivion, the other one decided to address them all. Really, was this the moment to start a monologue?
Audrey's attention, however, was immediately caught by a scream coming from the nearby pod. Upon having him pop his head out of the pod, she felt a slight wave of relief. The mechanic had seen this man while they were still in the ship and, even though she hadn't really talked to him, it was still relaxing to see another friendly face around such unknown territories.
The latina felt an urge to move toward the pod and rescue the injured within when doubt suddenly filled her head once more. She glanced back at the man; he was perfectly fine and did not sport any injury. Eyes of chocolate narrowed for a moment as she continued to stare; could there be traitors among them?
She quickly dismissed the thought and made a run to the pod.

Seth watched quietly his gun still held out over viewing the clones. They were a most unusual ability and Seth started to doubt that this man was just another resident of Twilight Town. Hearing a scream off in the distance he watched as the girl who had been there run off in its general direction. Though the scream was audible he did not concern himself with it as he continued pointing the gun. "I suppose in this case the end justifies the mean... but why should I trust your word? Surely it seems rather, odd that he killed the one member that was a traitor..." Seth was very doubtful of this mans supposed good intentions as he proposed his question.
Perurro had calmed himself some but still wished some pain to be inflicted on the man but Aquaius would not have it now. He had an offer he would like to make. "Let's say I do believe you and you're right. I would ask something in return for this trust though. I know of the different worlds out there and Twilight Town grows dull as of late. I would prefer to visit another and get away from here. If you can help with that then I'll believe you."
Seed, stand down! I've gone through great pains to insert myself into this expedition to have a chance at stealing the heart from a hidden world. Do not ruin this for me, or I promise you will be made to regret it
Seed only smirked when he heard Lumaria hiss at him. The green haired Heartless had always thought that Lumaria was full of himself and here he is giving him orders. How mundane. But seeing how he didn't feel like dieing Seed made all the clones but one vanish, revealing himself to all as the one further back. The one clone that stayed was right next to Lumaria. It gave a cunning smile as it whispered in his ear.
"Oh, so sorry to ruin your play date with a heart. But I don't take orders from you anymore. You can thank Lexaeus for that..." the clone vanished but not before giving a glare at Zexion and Roxas. The real Seed just scoffed as he bended Space and appeared next to Roxas and gave him a slap on the back and said. "Ya know, I'd watch how you say things around me. I'm not some pet you can lug around..." his attention turned towards Zexion. The scent he gave off was exactly like Ienzos except more...egotistical. Sure Seed knew that everyone in the Dark XII were the counterparts of the Organization but one thing he didn't know is why Roxas didn't seem familiar. Was he the one in the XII with no Heartless counterpart.
"Let's say I do believe you and you're right. I would ask something in return for this trust though. I know of the different worlds out there and Twilight Town grows dull as of late. I would prefer to visit another and get away from here. If you can help with that then I'll believe you."
"Oh my fucking Ansem! Another one of these kids?! Really?!"[/i] Seed grunted to himself as he immediately made a dark portal open next to Seth. Not wanting some long drawn out monologue about why he wanted to travel to other worlds by Lumaria or even Zexion, Seed spoke up. "You wanna go to another world. Then there, here ya go. I'm not going to let someone give you a speech on how this could be a big mistake and blah blah blah. You want to go? Than just go into the damn portal." his arms were crossed as his voice was filled with annoyance.

Nyra observed the events before her from her safe distance, saying nothing, trying her hardest to work out what was going on. It was a small comfort to know that Audrey didn't seem to have a clue either.
And then the clones appeared, and Nyra knew her fear was akin to that of the tough mechanic woman. She froze. Then, subtly, she flexed each of her muscles and released them, shifting into a position that would make sudden flight much more possible.
But her efforts were in vain; moments later and a man revealed himself from the depths of the metal pod, seemingly unscathed, and spoke aloud. Nyra's muscles relaxed. She was still suspicious, but couldn't help it - the possibility of mitigating the sense of evil around the Terrace was a welcome one to her. The clones vanished, and Nyra noticed with a sick start that the real one had been closer to her than she had anticipated.
Her unease grew as she watched Seth begin to bargain with the green-haired stranger. An image of a different brief companion drifted into her consciousness. Then a dark portal appeared before Seth, and the images in her mind crystallized, recollecting a hooded stranger and the receding back of Ravian as he stepped into darkness. This time, though, Nyra held her tongue. Speaking up sure did a hell of a lot of good last time. Now she realized that if Seth had already made a decision, any well-intentioned advice would simply be brushed off and made insignificant.
A movement from Audrey distracted her. The woman was running to the pod. Nyra's golden eyes narrowed and apprehensiveness flooded through her. But she refused to be helpless - with a breath, Nyra steeled herself, and moved forward to go help.
She adopted a pretend nonchalant gait as she abandoned her safe distance. The passive act was betrayed only by Nocturne, who, normally always sheathed when not being used, was gripped tightly in Nyra's hand as she strode towards Audrey.
She wasn't intercepted. Approaching the mechanic, Nyra echoed herself from earlier. "What can I do?"
Sweet was lost in thoughts as he was searching in the first aid kit for something to help him. He had already used up most disinfectants and antibiotics. Bolt's bark disturbed him as he glanced back what the white dog he had seen before was excited about.
As he saw the large sack full with bottles his eyes grew big. Blinking in disbelief he mumbled: " Huh?... How?... Why?... When?..." Kneeling down the big hands of the dark skinned doctor examined the content. Luckily the bottles had more descriptions on them then just pretty pictures. Reading the summarizations he started taking out the health potions and elixirs. By the sheer quantity, there was enough for everybody to go around.
Sweet started to smile, a big grin appeared on his face while his pearly white teeth sparkled. Enjoyed he reached out with his hand to Bolt's head and started to pet him. The big hand moving over his skull as it folded down his ears occasionally. The thick fingers scratching the fur at the back of his neck. While Sweet said: "Good boy, I don't know how you did it, but I'm sure glad you did. Very good boy." If Sweet have had any sort of treat on him he would sure reward the dog. The large doctor made a mental note to show his appreciation later to the canine. For now the petting and the praising would have to suffice. For he still had a lot of wounded to tend to. The severe cases had been solved, an unless another disaster would strike, all that had been gathered were going to make it.

Bolt "The Loyal Superdog"
Inside, Bolt laughed as Dr. Sweet looked at him with a great amount of confusion on his face. But then as he started digging through the sack, realizing that there were a mass amount of healing items here, he smiled. Sweet then had started to pet Bolt. He usually didn't like being pet by anyone other then Penny or her mother, but as he was being pet by the doctor, he realized he hadn't been pet like this in awhile, and enjoyed it while it lasted. Plus, as it was only Penny or his Mother who lived in the house, he had never felt what it was like to have a guy pet him, except when he lived in the pet shop. It was strange, but nice at the same time. So he allowed it, knowing that it was all that the doctor could do to reward Bolt.
After the petting had finished, he would look back up to Dr. Sweet and wonder what they needed to do next. He looked around, not able to see Audrey anywhere, and wondered where she might have been. He knew that she had run off somewhere else, probably to help a few more people, but it was hard to tell. Everyone else seemed to be missing as well, so he figured that they were helping her with another pod, possibly. So Bolt remained next to the Doctor, wondering if he would ask Bolt to do something. If they hadn't realized that he was smarter then the average dog yet, he wasn't sure what would have made them realize it.

Seth eyed the man as he opened what looked to be just an oval of darkness next to him. Seth turned his attention to the portal as Seed called it and examined it. No visibility to the other side. He stared for a second longer into the empty darkness of the portal and turned his head in Seed's directions. "You sure do like to inspire distrust don't you?" Seth was on edge as he holstered his weapon but took a step back from the portal.
He turned his body in the direction of Seed as he stared at the man. Aquaius was treading carefully, he was not like Ventus who would've jumped at the offer without considering the risks. To Aquaius seeing was believing and he didn't see anything past that portal. "I'll have to deny this passage for I have no idea of the destination or exactly how this is supposed to get me there though I will thank you for at least almost satisfying our desire."
Seth knew he was being difficult but if the man could act in a civil manner then he'd have no problem... lest of course he still wanted to kill someone just because he was bored.
Zexion's jaw almost dropped. Even after his sudden appearance among them, he was still ignored? Well, with the exception of Roxas, but that was still Nobody. He blinked in surprise at his own joke. That was quite unlike him.
"You left us all the same. You're a traitor in my book," he said, holding up his Lexicon for emphasis. Then he blinked again. This joke thing had better not become a habit all of a sudden.
He looked back at the tense group before him. "I suppose this Seed did something inexplicably evil? Well, we don't want him planting--" he blinked for a third time. Enough with the jokes. An odd day to develop a sense of humour.
"Rather, I'm sure we want to protect the innocence of these impressionable children, no?"
((I took so long to post, I know XD. If you people need me to extend the round's time limit just say so.))
She knew that Seed could actually strike her down any moment now, but frankly the latina girl didn't care.
Audrey shoved the one that had emerged from the pod aside in an attempt to get a better look at those requiring medical attention. She crouched down, brows knitting as she poked her head inside the pod to observe them. Unfortunately, they didn't look as if they were in a pleasant situation.
"Hold on! I'll get you out of there!" She shouted at them, replying to the great amount of painful groans that had begun to parade outside the pod. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she glanced around for a moment, lips poked out just as she was about to dive into the pod to drag the wounded outside. Perhaps those bystanders would actually come and help her carry them for Sweet to look at.
"What can I do?"
A whisper, barely audible. Ramirez managed to hear it, though, before pulling her body out of the metallic structure. For some reason, she was relieved by the fact that the first to rush to her aid was a fellow female. It was a strange thing, but one thing was certain; women had their own ways to communicate their thoughts to each other and, sometimes, they looked really odd.
Either way, Nyra had been the first to run to the crash site minutes after the Ullysses crew had crashed... the first hume, at least. Not that she had found Bolt's company a nuisance but it was actually better for her to socialize with her "equals". She wouldn't be able to have a conversation with the snow white dog, anyway.
"Help me get them out of there. We need to take them to Sweet as soon as possible or they will probably die." With no previous warning, Audrey jumped inside the escape pod. Olive digits wiggled around as they searched for the nearest soldier; her legs danced back and forth, following a slow, soothing rhythm.
"Gotcha." she whispered.
Fortunately, it didn't take too long for her to find a crew member and carefully pull him out of the wreckage. Taking a deep breath, Ramirez lifted him up, placing the man across her shoulders in a fireman's carry. Though some could have seen her as a physically weak individual, the latina had quite a big bundle of strength behind that lithe body of hers. Not that she was carrying an extremely heavy man, anyway.
"Take one and follow me, Nyra." Audrey whispered, beginning her way up the hill once the other girl had pulled out another crew member. At one point, however, she suddenly stopped, just as if she had forgotten something. The young female turned around, offering the bystanders below a fierce glare before shouting. "Stop standing there like idiots! Come on and help us!"
"Oh, so sorry to ruin your play date with a heart. But I don't take orders from you anymore. You can thank Lexaeus for that..." The green haired Heartless' copy whispered in his ear. Lumaria mentally scoffed at Seed's arrogance. So, he'd betrayed the Dark Twelve and had sided with the Organization? That wouldn't be something that most would openly admit to, least of all to one of their number so cruel as Lumaria. He would have a special treat cooked up for Seed later. For now, though, there was the matter of the Heart of Atlantis......
He got back to his feet, ignoring the exchange between Seed and the boy, instead focusing on Audrey and the pod's occupants. He let the girl reach in and retrieve one of the crewmembers, and then helped the girl Nyra retrieve one of her own to carry back to the doctor. Then, when they were on their way up the hill, he reached in and lifted one of his own and began carrying the man the way Audrey and Nyra had. As he ducked out of the pod, he read Audrey's words on the soundwaves in the air, and smiled inwardly.
He'd managed to insert himself into this group quite well. The only thing he needed to do was lay low until the expedition managed to complete its mission, and then he would have the Heart of Atlantis. It was supposed to contain untold power that, once consumed by the Heartless of the Dark Twelve, would strengthen them considerably. It was an opportunity that Lumaria couldnt' afford to let slip away. And so, he bided his time, playing the part of this mild mannered crewmember of the expedition.
It was actually luck that had allowed Lumaria to take his place. Of course, it hadn't all been luck. Lumaria, upon learning of the expedition going to Atlantis, and hearing of the legends of the power of its Heart, was lucky enough to run into, and befriend, the man whose identity he had taken. After that, all he'd needed to do was stage a little "accident" to befall the man, and he was able to take his place in the crew without any chance of the man stumbling back in and messing the entire thing up.
For now, though, Lumaria still had appearances to maintain, and so he continued on his way up the hill, back towards where Doctor Sweet was tending to the wounded of the expedition.......
"Help me get them out of there. We need to take them to Sweet as soon as possible or they will probably die."
Nyra nodded, expression solemn. She watched Audrey pick a survivor from the rubble and gently sling the man over her shoulders. Nyra then sheathed Nocturne and followed suit with a crew member nearby, giving a small smile to the man that helped her. She was strong, but her upper body strength didn't quite hold up to that of Audrey's. When the man was secure in her arms she turned to follow the latina up the hill. She did her best to block from her mind the pile of ashes they were leaving behind.
In her peripheral vision she noticed vaguely that Seth had denied the murderer's dark passage. She felt inexplicably relieved. He obviously had greater sense than Ravian.
Then Audrey cut off her thoughts as she turned sharply around, almost causing Nyra to drop her charge as she started. She grinned as she listened to her tell off the bystanders below. In turning to look at them, though, Nyra received a pleasant surprise, noticing the man from earlier following them with one of his wounded crew mates in his arms. Her earlier suspicions were erased.
They continued towards the doctor. Sweet, Nyra reminded herself. That's what Audrey called him. As they walked Nyra's thoughts began to churn. She was wondering about these people with their strange pods, and the green-haired murderer who had effortlessly struck terror in her. Up until that point she had avoided asking, but now seemed as good of a time as any to bring up the point. She had to know what else she needed to expect from the newcomers. Nyra quickened her stride and pulled up beside the young woman before her.
"Audrey," she began seriously, "who are you guys? All I know is that you fell from the sky with a bunch of wounded people, and then they show up." She tilted her head in the direction they came, indicating the green-haired man with the clones and the small blue-haired man in the black coat. "I don't believe you're bad, I just. . . I need to know."
By then they had reached the doctor. Gently, Nyra placed the wounded man in her arms in a safe spot near his medical supplies. Then she straightened and put her hands on her hips, facing Audrey Ramirez.
Roxas sneered at Seed, and shook his head. "Yeah, maybe... we'll see about that later though. Right now, you should probably go back home, and let the big boys do their work, Ok?" Roxas's voice was low; enough so that Seed could hear it, but it wouldn't carry much further. The samurai nobodies dissappeared, and Roxas walked over to the pod, ignoring Zexion. That bookworm can get absorbed by a clone again, for all I care...
At the pod, Roxas jumped in, grabbed one of the wounded soldiers, ignoring the stench of darkness that clung to the pod. Well... that explains why there haven't been any stray Nobody or Heartless attacks on these foreigners...
As Roxas climbed back out of the pod, he closed the portal that Seed had opened for the foolish human, who was having second thoughts as it were. Wordlessly, he carried the wounded human on his back up the hill, and carefully set him down in front of Sweet. He couldn't help but notice the multitude of healing items that were on the ground next to the white dog, and he cocked an eyebrow towards the doctor. "Uh... How'd you come across so many healing items? I mean, you've got... elixirs, Mega-lixirs, Potions, Hi potions... is that an X-potion?" Roxas crouched near one of the bottles, picked it up and nodded. "Yeah, wow. And over here... Hmm, you also have a couple of Panacea, Ethers, Mega-ethers, and... well... I don't know what this is, but I don't think it'll be any help." The unknown item was a drive recovery orb, but Roxas had no clue what it was, and it didn't exactly have a label on it either.
Looking back at the white dog, Roxas nodded, and then looked at the Doctor with an explanation. "If you're looking to heal everyone quickly, I'd suggest using these-" Roxas picked up a Hi-potion. "-Hi potions. They heal more moderate wounds- so for instance, these stab wounds, depending on how deep they are. If anyone's life hangs in the balance, use-" Roxas picked up an elixir, the item he had given sweet in the first place. "-one of these. If everyone's life hangs in the balance, use-" Roxas indicated the Mega-lixirs. "-one of those. These Ethers and Mega-ethers;" Roxas indicated an ether and a Mega-ether. "restore magical energy. You probably won't find much use for them, but you never know. And finally, these-" Roxas indicated a Panacea. "- are pretty nifty- they restore poison, get rid of burns, defrost you, a whole bunch of things like that."
Roxas picked up one of the hi-potions, and used it on the man he brought up from the pod, nodding as the man's knife wound healed. "See? It'll be a while before he is back to one hundred percent, though; but that is to be expected."
