The Forest ((open))

[new]

Titan walked slowly through the forestry that separated the Old Mansion from the town itself. There weren't many memories he could recall with an 'adventure' here. Most of his events were within the Town limit and watch was enforced. But now he was older and setting things straight in this world. He had yet to come in contact with the Heartless leaders but he had trust in Seed that they would meet soon.

His biggest fear was that he would be incapable of being help to them. His magic was strong as he focused but there appeared to still be more. Judo's strength through his magic is what had him save people. Save everyone in this world. With the Heartless he had this chance but he had to be stronger with his magic.

Looking down at his gloves he sighed. The best way to assure his power would remain solid was to keep the gloves on. Everyday they got tighter and the burn marks were beginning to turn into scars. Judo said that the day would come where he would have to keep them on. Maybe this was it...

The main thing that Titan always wanted to do was simply follow his heart. But everything he had done was chosen for him or didn't go along with how he felt. He could be considered weak hearted by many but at least he had one. This journey with the Heartless could result him possibly 'loosing his heart'. Being so dedicated to the defeat of the Nobodies that he lost himself in the process but in the end he was helping others. There was more than Twilight Town out there and so many more to help.

In the center of the forest Titan froze. Sunlight rays broke through tiny cracks of the tree bushes above him but this ray coming down on him appeared to be the biggest of them all. Looking up the contrast between his eye colors was truly apparent. Was this a sign? Nature revealed many secrets and hidden arts throughout time. Very few realized this. Even fewer understood their meanings.

"If only this was easier," Titan said softly to himself. "I will help the Heartless no matter what but I just hope that I'll actually be helpful."He dropped his head having a few strands of his hair fall and cover his eyes. Making decisions was hard but it would have been easier if the problem in the past hadn't been present but now...it was time for the future.

"The one way to do that is to proove your usefulness, but that isn't needed for we see much in you."

A voice spoke in a mere low whisper. It was a demand to retrieve all recruits, and none of them except one would be made a heartless. The rest would be left alone as they are only to be called for necessary duties.

"One wouldn't make a useless suggestion. If you are wondering, Seed had told me about you. You can say that he is...my apprentice of the sort." A dark dome fell down before dispersing as a figure was noticable.

The Organization copied cloak was unzipped. With their recent attack, he, Elaeus, had a feeling that Xemnas would force them to lay low and go under ground. The use of this cloak was almost done as the Heartless peeled it away and tossed it into the darkness. His skin was tan do to his dark slumber in the realm of darkness. Wandering in there for so long can start the skin to taint. A fitted sleevless top was worn with a pair of black pants that matched his shoes. Bronze hair was pulled into a pony tail to keep the locks from falling over his eyes.

Elaeus watched the boy nonchalantly with his hands deep in his pockets. "You are Titan correct?"

[new]

As the voice spoke, Titan turned to find it's source. The sound came as if it's speaker was closer than he appeared. Seeing the dark portal open, he turned to it. His eyes starred confused at the target. His heart began to beat faster as fear started to creep in. To quickly hide it he clinched his fist. The face he had that showed a depressed emotion was quickly turned to that a confident soldier.

Trying to configure Elaeus' words he went into thought. By the sound of things it appeared that Seed had done for him than he thought. But all he done was simply destroy one nobody. A single one that would appear to be that of an army. Sure he had shown some signs of anger, which in total turned into control, but anger wasn't the route to go to...or was it.

Hearing his name stated Titan looked up. With his right hand he brushed the loose strands of hair away from the front of his face.

"That's...," Titan stopped to clear his throat. His attempt to speak had come out weak and that wasn't a good way to start. "That's the name I go by. I'm guessing that you're Seed's boss then? It's good to finally run into you." The timid voice that arised before was now more confident and more of his age. He folded his arms and flinched at the top of his wrist. The scars were started to burn but it was nothing he couldn't handle.

"Hmph, so you were anxious to meet one of us, me. I am here to retrieve you for there's a purpose for you that lies away from this world. If I remember correctly, Seed told me you had interest to join with us. We can easily go now, because I am not here to test you."

A brow perked as he watched the boy intensely. His body wavered in a flinch. Elaeus exhaled heavily wondering what in the world did Seed do with this one. Hopefully he didn't grow bored and made some inflictions. Then there was a doubt that the boy would be willingly to join with one who attacked him. "How did you get that? It must be fresh or you wouldn't be flinching so."

[Rex]

( Well hope no one minds if I join)

The Forest wasn't Caxnon's favorite place to visit, it was the mansion that he was after. He was sure that he could find something of use there, besides he was bored.

Caxnon walked through the forest without paying much attention to his surroundings, which was very unlike him. It had been ages sine he even had to draw his weapon, so he wasn't expecting anything unusual. He continued along his path when he suddenly spotted two people a few feet in front of him, and if he stood there like a fool he would be spotted.

He quickly hid behind one of the trees. Then he heard one of them say 'Seed told me you had interest to join with us.''

Caxnon peeked to see where the voice came from, he had met Seed before, crazy Heartless. As soon as he saw the man in black, he knew that Mansion would have to wait. The man was wearing the Organization coat, there was no doubt about it.

'' So one of them here, I should remain hidden and hear what I can, I might even be able to use this to my advantage.'' Caxnon thought.

He waited for the other person's response.

Cutler slithered through the air in a serpentine shape. His wavy elastic body was spiralling with dice and cards, their edges cutting through any smaller tree branches that got in his way ... He was going in, out, around, about, to and from multiple trees, watching the place. This heavily wooded area certainly looked like a promising place for Nobodies such as himself to hide in. The trees were so numerous and large, they actually managed to shun away lots of sunlight, making great dark patches of hiding spots. Plus, this was where the old mansion was located .... the building that stayed within Cutler's mind .,.

The Gambler swung onto a tree branch, where he perched himself. His cards and dice all flew into his empty sleeves. Something caught his interest .... His dark empty face spied out three different things ... One human ... One heartless, a humanoid one ... And one humanoid nobody ....

The human and heartless were confusing Cutler. Why didn't that thing just steal the human's heart? The Nobody one the other hand, was simply hiding away behind a tree. Undoubtfully spying on the two ... The mansion was Cutler's main, personal objective, but if heartless AND nobodies were involved in the same setting, it was almost his duty to take part in it. The gambler watched the event, high up a tree and covered with bushy leaves.

Titan looked at Elaeus and found himself with some admiration. Standing in front of him was one of the leaders over the Heartless. He must truly be a noble person, or even more a powerful leader. Looking at him he appeared nothing like Titan would imagine but appearance was always an understatement.

Questioning his gloves, Titan unfolded his arms to look at them. Their identity would have to be revealed eventually.

"This are sorcerer gloves," Titan stated. "They help me enhance the magic I use in battle." Closing his eyes to help concentrate, Titan began to demonstrate the power of his gloves. His palms began to show waves of heat erupting from it. Quickly his palms appeared to be on fire. With a quick spin, fire surrounded Titan, as he chanted the word Fira. Breaking his hand through the flame, it dispersed. Reading the amateur sorcerer's face it was almost hidden that he was shocked it worked. A small shoot of pride went through him.

"And I hope to use it to help you guys," he stated folded his arms again. As before the gloves shocked a pain as they graced his elbows but the adrenaline going through him numbed the pain easily. "I'll do whatever it takes to help out the Heartless and get rid of the Nobodies. I'm sure we can save all the worlds. So...I guess I'm ready for whatever you want me to do or wherever you want me to go."

"I see." Elaeus merely nodded seeing the fire. He might have to make this boy an opponent one day. "We shall go soon for this world is filled with nosiness. A pair of nobodies think they are undetectable."

"I came here only for you. The two aren't of any importances now."A black portal rippled open awaiting for Titan to walk in. His nose twitched before whistling. In the realm of darkness growls could be heard. If the nobodies dared to interfere his canines would handle it.

[Rex]

'' Wonderful'' Caxnon said loud enough for Elaeus to hear. He stepped out of his hiding spot and faced the two people in front of him. He wasn't about to do anything stupid, all he wanted was a few answers. He analyzed the two people in front of him, then leaned against a tree.

So this person was here for someone, what for? There was something strange about him, in fact he had a strong Darkness energy. Which usually meant one thing, a Heartless.

'' I have a few questions for you about your Organization'' Caxnon said to him.

Whatever was coming through that portal didn't sound too friendly.

[globber]

Well, it was now most obvious that Cutler had been found out. Atleast, that's what he figured from hearing the humanoid heartless. It also seemed that they were ready to leave for some where else. A place filled with powerful darkness ... This was even more apparent after an example of the Corridors of darkness was summoned. From it came incessant growling noises ... Heartless ... Cutler's neck waved, and his dark face twitched. Any friend of those mindless beasts, was an immediate advantage to the Nobodies.

Cutler's lower body extended down to the forest floor, and then it snapped back in place with the rest of his torso ... From his empty sleeves came an entire deck of cards, spiraling around his body. He stared at the other Nobody, Caxnon, but was more concentrated on the dark portal ...

[new]

Titan's face turned to confusion as Elaeus spoke of two nobodies around. He immediately turned around as the dark portal was summoned. There was nothing in plain sight he could see, which was probably obvious as the monsters wouldn't want to be seen. Slowly turning his head he turned to see the dark portal. What Seed had described was true. They were beings of darkness and how they used it for good was simply amazing.

Proudly titan began to walk to the dark portal. There was some hesitation but his legs continued to move. Hearing a voice come out, Titan stopped and turned to it. He questioned appeared to be addressed to Elaeus and so Titan continued his walk. The one thing that stopped him was the appearance of a Gambler nobody. Due to it's movements, Titan immediately recognized it as, not only an enemy, but a nobody.

A tiny stress of anger ran through Titan body as he remembered the attack on him and Seed. Pathetic creatures nobodies appeared to be. His gloves illuminated with a purple aura. Anything that would go wrong, he'd prove himself instantly why he'd be an asset to the Heartless.

"Going to answer him," Titan stated. "Or should we be off."

[Ellie who has 0%]

"If you have questions, I have ears to hear." The Earth Titan muttered not promising to answer him. He was a nobody nonetheless. Also it wasn't a part of the job description to answer questions. His ears perked hearing Titan's voice and hummed in a reply.

"I would've answered if he had stated a question. Time is quite valuable." Elaeus' nose twitched. "I would tell you to go inside, but it seems," the heartless looked down at the boy's gloves, "that you have additional agendas. Anger is coursing through you."

The growls grew louder as the gaias remained inside of the portal. They weren't commanded to come out just yet.

[Ellie who has 0%]

(I know double post bad, but giving it a boost for the thread won't poof because of my absenses. REX YOU'RE UP!)

[Rex]

( Right, sorry)

Caxnon looked at the open dark portal, the growling seemed to be growing louder. This starnge person gave off the same darkness energy that Heartless gave, but wasn't there only one Organization? no that couldn't be right, or could it? That would have to come later, right now he needed answers.

'' Do you serve Organization XIII?'' Caxnon asked.

He glanced at the person named titan as he waited.

[globber]

Cutler blankly stared at the other nobody, Caxnon. Organization XIII? Who knows about this human (Titan), but if he's serving a humanoid heartless, there can't be much of a chance of him serving the 13 ... Unless the organization was now controlling humanoid heartless as well ... 5 of Cutler's cards enlarged themselves to as tall as himself. They started swirling around the dark portal, hopefully ensuring nothing gets in or out.
