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.

((New thread? I was nodding to let Ienzo post. But really it is your post. If you wish you may post and have him take Relena somewhere, that could be starting a new thread. However if Ienzo comes back on and disagrees, then we need to compromise.))

(oops misinterpreted// Alright I shall make a post, I just didn't post, because it seems that Relena was directing more to Ienzo// but alrighty I shall formulate something..post..and wait for Ienzo//))
Elaeus blinked his eyes to rid of the slight blur they were giving him, but it only disturbed him more as his vision alters in blur and zoomed into the smooth details of his mug, and fade out. With a soft exhale, he placed his hand over his eyes and kept them closed before opening them again. Testing his vision, Elaeus turned his eyes to the nearby sphere.
His nose inhaled the smell of iron and steel. With a thought, he wondered if he could move it or not. The chemical metals were found within the Earth. So would it be considered a part of earth itself, or was it geo connection so far that he couldn't? No matter, there's one question answered. He could see it. Too make sure his vision was accurate, his finger grabbed; it was cool to the touch, and his eyes pulsed.
The light was starting to sore his eyes more, and in reaction, he balled the sphere into a fist, while keeping his eyes covered again. His spare hand fumbled into his pocket, while pulling out a black strap of fabric to be wrapped around to coat his eyes. Darkness soothed him as the minor ripple headache started to fade a bit. Blonde hair laid lifeless on the table as Elaeus rested his head against the cold table.
Even if one didn't witness is little moment of realization and pain, they would see him mirroring a tired child who rests his head on his desk, but the only difference was the whittening of his knuckles in his balled hand that wrapped around the sphere. The grip loosened letting it slightly rolled under it's prison.
"Relena," his voice spoke out, while lifting the steel sphere pressed between his pointer and thumb, while the remaining three slightly curled. "This belongs to you."
The Shadows, Sin... His silver eyes contracted as Relena moved in front of the light, and he looked up. There was a secret to him, a secret that nobody else could know...
If light disappeared, shadows did too.
Ienzo brushed his black hair around until it took form, once again its usual disheveled shape. He stared at her for a moment before he realized that she was speaking. Huh... I'm still a bit tired, I suppose.
He stared at her, confused, and tilted his head. "The Shadows, they are very similar in nature to Heartless. But they don't have thought capacity. Thus they need a Heartless like us to speak to them. Humans cannot fully control them as we can." But Sin, he's different. Sin is something that cannot be explained. A Heart and a soul, without a body. But he could not form a new body. While Heartless do, Sin had to attach himself to others.
He slumped back and reached beside him, grabbing the coffee pot. He poured it and took a sip, only to twitch slightly. Black coffee. He hated it. He looked around to the fridge, stuck his hand in the table's shadow, and opened it from across the room as a black, oily hand gripped the door, opened it, and took the creamer out. In a second, he was pouring it in his coffee.
"Anthing else you'd like to know?"
((I'm using color now. I dunno, just felt like it.))

Elaeus had some major mood issues up. He looked bothered by the sphere as he picked it up, and his eyes seemed to blink away whenever the light shone on them. Her observation skills seemed to be paying off as Elaeus pulled out a piece of black fabric and tied it around his eyes. What, nap time already? He then laid his head down on the tabletop and no longer could Relena tell if his eyes were open or closed. The only thing that let her know that he was still awake was when he spoke to her.
"Relena, this belongs to you."
What? She was clueless as to what he was talking about until she saw the sphere he was holding between his fingertips. "Elaeus, if it wanted to come back to me, I would have had it in my grasp a long time ago. Right now, it's telling me that it’s sorry for breaking your mug." Apparently that would be the sphere that broke his mug, and apparently it also was suicidal.
And then came Ienzo's voice. It was the first time she had ever actually spoken to him, and was slightly taken back when she heard the confusion in his voice. "The Shadows, they are very similar in nature to Heartless. But they don't have thought capacity. Thus they need a Heartless like us to speak to them. Humans cannot fully control them as we can." Well no duh humans couldn't control shadows like Heartless could. There was a reason that Heartless could use portals when humans couldn't.
To further shock her Ienzo then spoke again. But not this time in an answer but a question. "Anything else you'd like to know?" What did he think of her? Some annoying kid that would question you until the day they died? Hell no. In fact, though she still did have some questions, she wasn't one to let others know what she was thinking at any time. Which is why when she answered, she chose to not ask any of the numerous questions in her head but simply say, "No Ienzo, however feel free to ask me anything as well, I only see it fair."
She hated sucking up. If it weren't for the fact that she was trying to not make a bad impression on another member of the Dark XII Relena would have already commented on the fact of how emo both Ienzo and Elaeus looked right now. But because she didn't want Ienzo or Elaeus to be mad at her right now, she chose not to mention anything like that but instead suck up to them. Life was so harsh at times.

"So you can talk to it," Elaues really didn't think it talked, or told her anything, but more like Relena's indirect way of an apology. Either that or these spheres have too much of a mind of their own, which can lead to future problems. "It shouldn't worry about such petty things; it was only a mug no matter how much of a non-morning person I can be which includes moodiness." His fingers idly toyed with the sphere as it turned between his finger pads.
Pushing his chair back, he rose from his seat and commence tossin the sphere lightly before catching it. "Seems like we are all fully awakened, and I for one wish not to stay in this depressing castle much longer. Now that we have somewhat became "acquainted" I'm sure we can act more constructive with each other. After all we'll need more than just Arumial going further to get anywhere with any ambitions."
"As of now what are your ambitions. Kingdom Hearts has always been a given, but what else, or have this spare life of darknes is becoming more meaningless?"
With this group, or whatever it's supposed to be called, it seems like they are at a constant spot, and Elaues rather not spend it with irrational behaviors, doing absolutely nothing, and mug breaking. Honestly, he had already stored and reflected on plans that should later become actions, but as usual power is in number, and one is weak on its own, especially if the opposer are in greater numbers and united.
On his miniature observations, he had noticed how more defensive the worlds are becoming; there were even people who could sense is dark energy. He was a creature of a discreet nature, who pulled strings from a far, while leaving cookie crumbs to a unrelated source and covering his own tracks. Then again some of the youth and mortals are becoming more antsy and irrational as they run into battle blindly to fight when they are actually being observed to be set-up. In short, there should be more mobilizing instead of mere input from himself.
Ienzo stared between the two, his mind whirring like thousands of gears, winding like clockwork. His thoughts were clear, he knew what to think... And he could see the problems with today's Worlds. It seemed as though the humans were getting stronger, their powers becoming greater...
But- There was a simple unbalance with the rules. The Dark XII was a fragment of its oiginal self, the other members god-knows-where. And while the Organization ran amock, their dasterdly deeds unknown, the humans were invading, seperating themselves from the Worlds. Too many pilgrims soared through the skies now-a-days, when once upon a time only the Keyblade Weilders were the true travellers.
While power grew in the other two areas of the map, the Heartless remained the untamed, powerless lot. They were the least worried about in a universe where everything is willing to attack you... Even your fellow people.
"Our problem... We need to plan. We need enough members to successfully cover all of the key points. Our best bet is to infiltrate at this point, but that's hard. I am of Shadows. I can hide in them. But there have been people who know that something is there."
He stared at them, his silver eyes shining in the flourescent light of the kitchen. "We need a distraction, and an immediate attack. If we use more than one person for the suprise attack, we may be able to win against a group with our different abilities."

The sphere felt something very wrong, which was then transferred over to Relena. Elaeus didn't quite know the sphere's full power, and for her it seemed like she had the upper hand. Though really her spheres only gave off moods, nothing too harmful, but when one gave you the emotion of being alert, you knew something was going to happen. Which it did.
Elaeus spoke up, about plotting, about goals. Why the sudden change in topic? It was a given though, this was Elaeus she was talking about, the person who was very focused on plans and plotting and power. She thought this was useless, why did he even bring it up? No one was going to agree to this, Ienzo was the silent type, not the plotting type. And Relena, well she knew that she wouldn't really go along with these plans unless someone else did, in which case she wouldn't be going along.
Like a slap in the face Ienzo threw his two cents in by adding his opinion. Covering key points, hiding in the shadows, infiltrating, she didn't even want to know what was going through Ienzo's head as he listed things off quickly. Then he was talking about surprise attacks and using distractions and silently Relena reminded herself never to ask Ienzo about what he was thinking about.
Finally it came time for her to give her thoughts and she spoke up, "I'm more offensive, though if you need a distraction, I can pull up my defensive side and hold them off if they find out until you come." There, she offered something, and now she waited for Elaeus to decline her offer, say something like 'No Relena, the only thing you're good for is staying here and finishing up the laundry that needs to be done.' Something stupid and useless like that.
Then again, she would be helpful for a distraction; most would never suspect a girl being a part of a distraction. Though she would rather be sitting at the castle and doing everyone's laundry, she might be better at being the distraction. Just be thankful she wasn't one of the attackers, somehow the others got in their heads that she was rather weak.
While that was somewhat a bad thing, it was also a good thing for her (meaning that they cut her some slack once-in-awhile and if she even caught herself fighting with them, she could play cheap). So as a distraction, it was up to her to sit back and watch as they attacked the enemy, and if they ever seemed to be in trouble Relena could hop in and save their asses and become that much more useful. So yes, without further adieu, Relena offered herself up as a distraction and hopefully would get more respect around the castle.

(yay I'm back, and now time to catch up...Jeebus what was Elaeus talking about hmmm *scrolls to read*)
"A distraction...you say...," Elaeus hummed lowly, "I can see that: a diversion from the greater picture. Since hearts has always been our greatest polarity, which world shall be the first to go to use this sense of diversion. As of now, we are closer to Twilight Town than any other place, but it is filled with inhabitants. Surely rummaging that area would draw attention, leaving other areas more vacant, like Yen Sid's Tower."
"It is hardly visited, since the transportation is a mystical train, but I have a feeling that it can be easily destroy like the pathway from Twilight Town to the World That Never Was. The Tower can be a second base to cultivate a mass of darkness that can only be reached by that train. Other than that, the area is a myth leaving us in the shadow just in reach of the world. They would be easily manipulated like mice, while a series of heartless activity is in one area, there's another elsewhere to find the world's heart."
"The world isn't complex unlike Radiant Garden, which is heavily guarded by a computer program, but I'm not sure of who we may or may not run into. I haven't heard of any keyblade wielder activity, so such impact with only shock them to the point to crap in their pants."
Ienzo nodded. His silver eyes were closed lazily, but he was listening to every word. Indeed, Elaeus was correct about Twilight Town. He had been there many times in the past that he had visited when Sin was hungry. Surprisingly, Sin seemed to like the Twilight. He himself had seen a large number of fighters, but not necessarily Keyblade Weilders. Nothing there but headstrong humans who had no common sense...
And the uncommon Nobody that strolled along.
His mind worked like gears, ticking away inside of his skull. He liked the thought of Yen Sid's tower as a base. This place was too close to the Nobody population. He didn't want a spy discovering their plans. You had to be prepared for all things, and there were too many ways a Nobody could sneak in. After the way new Body-Nobodies were rising, you never knwo when one would learn how to shapeshift.
He sat back in his chair and nodded. "Yen Sid's... The Forgotten Tower." He liked to call it that because long ago, Yen Sid had disappeared. Along with the faeries that lived there. They were gone now. It was free for the taking.

The Heartless castle was not just a castle, it was the place they all fell back to whenever they needed shelter from any danger. With another shelter though that no one knew about out there they would have the upper hand. They could of course portal to some other place randomly to escape the danger but then the Dark XII would be scattered across the different worlds. To have a designated 'second' hideout would be perfect for retreating to if they ever needed it.
"To get into Yen Sid's tower and take it over wouldn't be that hard. As beings of the Dark Twelve, we have control over some of the lesser Heartless. Even in a group they are somewhat of a challenge for even the Keyblade Wielders. If a mere human tried to stop us we could allow the Heartless to take care of them while we take control of the tower."
Plotting was getting to her head. If the Heartless took care of any person standing in their way and they were able to claim the tower, then there would no longer be this problem of secret plans leaking out to others in the Dark XII. Yes, cliques were a part of this organization as well. Yen Sid's tower would be the perfect place to focus on plans without having to worry about them falling into the wrong hands. She was liking this plan so far.
