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.

From all the worlds out there, their destination was already chosen by fate. They were heading to rescue the young man, whose soul was now trapped in the Underworld. The small "alliance" was now traveling by Gummi Ship, heading directly to Olympus Coliseum, the world of the greek gods. But they were not visiting Zeus, or Athena, or Apollo. Their objecting was to speak with Hades, the God of Death, and convince him to release Rubix from his everlasting torment. However, maybe things wouldn't play as nice as one would want. "We will be there soon..." A voice spoke to itself, knowing that bargaining with Hades wouldn't be easy. Its source, a young fire user sitting at the pilot seat of Elona.
Mikael looked at a small dot, which he immediately classified as a non-star. As they got closer, it got bigger until he could realize what it was. They were there, in front of Olympus Coliseum. The Gummi Ship's speed was slowed as it entered the planet's atmosphere. They were closer now, and Mikael was determined to do anything to save Rubix. Anything, for a friend. "Just hold on a bit more, we will be there Rubix."
Even though Rubix was weaponless, he possessed a strong aura. He would be difficult to kill, right? The truth was that, he knew his friend was dead in the bottom of his heart. He had felt his death when he had left the world. Even though they had traveled together for a short period of time, Mikael had developed a friendship bond with the pirate. However, he didn't want to admit that he was gone. The fire user stood up and headed to the living room, where he spoke again. "We have arrived. To make things quicker, we should use the teleporter."
Max was sitting in the so-called living room, across the room from Erika, reading what was called a magazine. It was fascinating how shiny and glossy the pages were. He'd never seen paper like this! It was Amazing.
He looked up as Mikael entered the room, mentioning they had arrived at their destination, and immediately the thin book was on the table in front of him, and he was on his feet with his pike in hand.
"I'm ready," he said,"This place is dangerous, right? Heartless and all?"
He wanted to know as much as possible about this place. Any place called the "Underworld" or "Realm of the Dead" was bound to be dangerous, and he didn't want to be caught off-guard by heartless. He hadn't survived a three year losing war against them to lose his heart to them now.

Lyon was resting against one of the odd looking pillars waiting for the other 3 to arrive. Problems with gummi ships was that it took too long to travel. He had been waiting for about an hour or more he had lost track in his reading. The book was brown with some odd symbols on it and a title of "Exorcisms and Demon Purging". It was printed in common text but was at least 500 pages thick. He sighed once and pulled out a cigarette case taking out a lighter and a single cigarette lit it and took a quick drag. This book stretched his mind and his patience to the limit but it would pay off in the end. He had already seen souls rush by him in mere seconds, the underworld was in full swing it seemed. He shut the book quickly and tucked it in an inside pocket on his coat and thought about the discussions with Maleficent and Jadis, they had mentioned a god of the dead, if he was him he'd at least be able to understand who another ally would be.
"If I'm lucky I'll be able to keep up this little charade of being one of the good guys for a while longer." Lyon said with a smirk his only goal was to find his brother if he was still alive and make sure he and him ridded the world together, if anybody would understand his ideals and goals it'd be him.

I think I'll stick with the teleporting orb for now on. Her ears popped painfully from the atmospheric pressure they had gone through with the take off and landing. She swore her ears were ringing for eternity.
Erika has been silent during the trip on the ship. It made her feel a bit dizzy and uneasy, especially in the stomach. Never had she been in the outer universe. She looked to Mikael hearing that they must teleport out.
"Alrighty, ready when you two are..."
(Gah I just editted and I need to re-edit the edit)
Hades had been strolling along the paths of the lower Underworld looking for at least something to occupy his mind until his master plan was able to unfold and come to fruition. The souls that had been living in walls shrunk in fear as the Master of the Dead walked passed. Hades was somewhat irked about this, maybe he wanted to actually talk. But did they ever consider that? NOOOOO, of course not, no one ever wants to talk to Hades. Jerks.
"Master Hades, Master Hades. We have a problem!" a winged demon exclaimed as it came flying towards the blue god.
"What is is THIS time!!?" Hades sighed as the flames turned a faint red color. He snatched the clipboard from the demon, which sent it flying away in fear, and looked it over.
"So, it seems someone is trying to break INTO the Underworld. How...interesting"
(Ellie, Lyon didn´t travel in the Gummi Ship, he arrived through a dark portal, remember?)
"Yes, you could say we will run into a family of Heartless or two. I have heard that Hades has gained the ability to control them. But we should be fine, unless that dark kiddie betrays us." Mikael replied calmly. He was still wary about trusting this Lyon, but he would have to work with him for now. The young man glanced at the big red circle located at the floor. That was the teleporter. "After you" he told his guests as he thought about what he knew.
Hades was a god, he controlled lesser Heartless and he had several servants, like the pink imp. However, someone had told him that venturing through the Underworld would be a pain since your energy was cut in half, meaning that your abilities didn´t do much damage. The guy said that there was a legend about a stone that canceled the curse, but he couldn´t remember the name. After Max and Erika were on top of the red circle, Mikael will enter the shape as well and press a button on the wall, which would activate the teleportation device.
The cozy living room of the ship would vanish before their eyes to be replaced with the cold enviroment of what looked like an underground cavern. They had arrived. "-of the good guys for a while longer." The fire user quickly spotted the kid of darkness, who appearanty was talking to himself. It would be safe to think that he had arrived first through his dark portal. Mikael looked at his surroundings as the gunslinger commented on Lyon´s behavior. He noticed the lake, which leaded to the Underdrome. "Oh well, let´s get going then."
Max nodded and thought. Heartless, huh? He'd need to keep an eye out for them, then. It wouldn't do for them to get their hearts stolen in an ambush.
He stepped onto the teleportation pad thing and they were transported into the underworld. A shiver immediately ran up his spine.The place was dreary and creepy. Not only that, but he could feel a repression of his power. It was almost like he hadn't had his awakening yet.
He didn't like this. He didn't like it at all.
He held his pike in both hands, checking around for heartless. He could see misty forms shaped like humans floating around, many of them with their faces twisted into soundless howls and screams.
To Max, it was like looking at the faces of soldiers killed on a battlefield.
He felt the color draining from his face and looked around nervously, taking an involuntary step back. He was used to seeing pain and death, to be sure, but this was different. The death he was used to was motionless bodies, sometimes scorched beyond recognition or torn apart, but they were motionless.
These looked the same, except they moved, and it was freaking him out. Dead bodies weren't supposed to move. Dead were supposed to be gone forever, beyond the reach of people. This place blew all of that to smithereens, everything Max had thought he knew about life and death had been thrown out of the window in a single moment.

"Oh well, let´s get going then."
Lyon smirked at that, took them quite a while but it allowed him to get a bit more into how to remove him from his body. He was already screaming to get out again, this was a place of darkness. Hopefully they'd find the god of dead sooner or later.
He looked over at Max, the man was shaking and the color drained from his face. He took another drag and blew the smoke into the air. He walked over to the shaken man. "Calm down all right." He took his cigarette case out and took one out before placing it back in his jacket. He then held it so the butt was facing Max.
"It's just dead people, nothing else. Now would you care for this or should I place it back. It's quite a way to calm down, and from the looks of it you're quite far from the definition of it." Lyon smirked at him, if he took it he did if not oh well. Obviously the man would have a hard time dealing with the dead soulds.
"You know one day all of us will be like this or we may be taken and changed into a heartless. Either way we will no longer be who we once were." Lyon had quite the smile on his face. Maybe he could draw a little fear out of all of them. If not oh well.
(Computers still messed up but I'm on this weekend so post quickly.)

The aura of the world made Erika feel one thing. She didn't belong here as the coldness of dead made chills rush down her arm. She never thought that the haven of the dead could appear so dreadful. What happened to the sunny side of everything, or was this place like a hell or a train station to get to the happy place? It was either that or the designer wasn't the happiest person.
Looking over to Max, she wondered what he was thinking; his face was stiff as well with his grip on the pike as the ghost like bodies od people danced passed them. Looking a head she saw a river, ghoustly green feeble hands stretched out it with a long moan. The dead looked nearly skeletal just to say there were spirits.
"So which way to the Lord of the Dead. From the looks of it, dead is all around us and I see nothing lively enough to be a lord of this wasteland."
No sooner had Erika said "Lord of the Dead", Hades himself appeared in the room in a puff of smoke. Excuse him for being an attention whore and showing up whenever his name is said.
"Ah hello, hello, welcome to the Underworld, I of course am Hades, hi how you doin'?" the God asked as he grabbed Erikas hand and shook it violently then let go. He ported over to Max and did the exact same thing he did to Erika and then ported back to his original spot just a little more further away from Erika.
"Sooo, what brings all of you to my humble home? The two for one sale? The free picture with Cerberus? Or is the all you can eat buffet?" as Hades spoke of all of these fake events he made a poster appear of each one advertising it in his hand.

Trails of smoke trailed behind the small fox as she rounded a corner. What was this? Sage was purely white, not to mention see-through. All she remembered was the feeling of slipping away and then she felt her paws land on the rocky ground. She had quickly snapped her head up awaiting a blow from that evil demon-kid but received none. He and the arena had completely vanished. Instead she was in some sort of cave with a river flowing next to her. Now she was on the move, trying to figure out where she was. Bony hands clutched onto the rocks from beneath the water's surface and Sage jumped at the sight.
A soul hauled half their body out of the water and partly onto the rock. "Join ussss," it hissed to her and Sage took one look at the horror-struck face, the cheek bones bulging out from beneath the sunken eyes, and took off running. With each step she took she became more of a blur as she ran through the maze-like corridors. Every time a paw of hers connected with the ground a sort of smoke-like vapor appeared. It was as if she was running in a shallow creek and the smoke was water. She was not one of those people floating downstream in the river, she was not old and worn out like them, she was still lively.
The deceased Firefox watched small blobs in the distance start to take on more of a human-like shape to them and she realized that they were. There were actual people here. Five of them to be exact, maybe they'd know a way out of here. Excitedly the fox increased her speed, feeling that she could run on forever if she needed. Finally she came close enough to them to shape shift and introduce herself to them. "Hi there, are you really what I think you are? Do you know a way out of here? Plea--" Sage stopped talking when she saw a familiar face in the crowd. He was holding a poster in one of his hands and had a smile upon his face.
Hades was his name, and he was the one who had hosted the tournament in which Sage was killed in. She narrowed her eyes and put her hands upon her hips. "Hades,"[/color] she said coldly, "Get me out of here, I can't be dead."[/color] This was true, the last Firefox couldn't die, she had to keep on living until she found another Firefox. Surely the Lord of the Underworld wouldn't accept right away and she knew this, surely he would make this a lot tougher than she wanted it to be. Still, her soul was tightly bound to the memories of when she was still alive and she would never release those binds. She would keep on bothering Hades until he allowed her a second chance at life.
When he realized that everyone was shocked by the Underworld's lifeless state, Mikael turned around, only to find a dead looking Max, an emotionless Erika and a cocky Lyon. As the dark kid lectured the soldier about the circle of life, the fire user noticed that it truly felt cold; he didn't know why he hadn't noticed it before. All the things he assumed he knew about hell were not true; that place wasn't boiling hot, it was chilly cold. Indeed, they didn't belong there at all.
However, the man's thoughts were sent away as a cloud of smoke appeared in front of Erika. Oh god, it was Hades. "Wow, finding him was really a challenge." Mikael whispered to himself, low enough so that the other four didn't hear. He gazed at Hades as he shook Erika's and Max's hands, and raised an eyebrow as the god began to speak of several events. "Um, no. We are not interested in a buffet, a picture and all that jazz. We want to... bargain with you. You see, there's a friend of us that-" Before he could finish, another voice was heard. Mikael quickly turned his head, only to see a ghost. She looked very young, even younger than the teenager himself. A pair of blue eyes met the girl's green ones as she talked in a rather desperate way. "Hi there, are you really what I think you are? Do you know a way out of here? Plea-- Hades, get me out of here, I can't be dead."
It seemed that Hades was actually enjoying the death of several people, the black haired girl included. Mikael wondered how would dying feel; would it be quick? Would it be really as peaceful as they said? However, the fire teenager was not ready to die yet. He couldn't die, he had a destiny to fulfill... or so he thought. "Alright Hades, we are here to bargain with you. First of all, did the fighters of your tournament, Mira and Rubix, survived? And second, if they are dead we would like you to free them... along with these girl over here." Mikael knew he wasn't in any position to order or/and request anything, but they had to get straight to the point. He glanced at the ghost girl once more, wondering what had happened to her.
Max jumped, fighting the urge to strike out with his pike as a puff of smoke blossomed in front of him, and a strange man dressed in a toga shaked his hand and then poofed out again. He reappeared in front of Erika, did the same to her as he had to him, then poofed in front of the whole group, holding up a bunch of posters and blabbering.
His heart now racing from the start, Max had a slightly clearer head. He'd been on the verge of panic before, but now he had a slightly clearer head, and that allowed him to think and fight back the panic at seeing the dead moving.
He turned as he heard a voice, and saw one of the ghosts right behind them all, the grip on his pike tightened slightly. He didnt' trust these ghosts.....they could be dangerous. He looked at her skeptically as Mikael spoke to the blue man.
"Who are you...?" he asked her as she stood there. Mikael had asked for her freedom too. What was he thinking? They hadn't even gotten her name. Well, he'd check her out, and see what she was all about. It couldn't hurt to have one more ally, after all.

Lyon looked over to the man and girl that had appeared before them. As he could guess from Mikaels statement this was him. That was helpful and made him to be able to get down to buisness quicker. He had two personal issues to attend to besides theirs. Lyon took a step towards him not caring for the noise around him.
"Hades, god of the dead and ruler of the underworld I have questions to ask you. I would like to know if you have a list of the dead here because I am wondering if a man by the name of Naoya Ryuushi is a part of that list. He was a human so if he did die he would be sent to here instead of heaven. A second is that of a more private matter that I would wish to speak with you privately about, and to make sure you understand it's importance it's about Maleficent." Lyon kept a serious expression on his face the whole time and even adressed him in his full title. At the moment he did not care for the others, his brother came first and foremost above whatever their concerns where. If Naoya was dead he would have him released from his binds in the Underworld no matter the cost.

There was too many things happening at once...seriously.
With a low muttering of words, blue smoke rippled out of nowhere. Erika wasn't expecting a tall blue flamed hair god, but a ninja of some sort. His teeth were like pointed fangs as they grinned under thin dark blue lips. For the God of the Dead, he was quite blue, but not a pale cadaver blue. Actually, he had too much of a personality of what she had in mind. His entire demeanor made her eyes go wide as he shook her hand vigorously.
Her brows knitted as the grip made her wrist sore as her arm flailed like a rag doll. She was glad to see him teleport away in a ghostly poof giving her time to rub her bruised wrist. Her eyes darted about not knowing where he would appear next, but the sound of his appearance was loud. He greeted Max with the same ethusiam.
For the God of the Dead, he's too ethusiatic. I don't like it...
Her face wrinkled with confusion clearly saying, 'wtf?', at the false advertisement. That wasn't the only thing that caught her off guard. The swift appearance of a jet black haired girl made her brow arched in uncertainty. There was too many things popping at her from the coldness, death, the god, and her. Her voice was grave as if she saw hope right before them.
That voice quickly altered in regardes the God named Hades. It seems that she had a problem to with the Dark Lord. Looking at her made her think of Rubix even more simply wondering what became of him. Erika learned instantly that there would always be some sort of chaos with a God of Death. She didn't speak, because she didn't have to. Mikael already throw their purpose for coming on the table with a bargain. He even included the girl. A foreboding aura told her that this wouldn't be to simple, but messy.
Now Erika wondered what kind of deep mess they are getting into. They were making to many demands leaving a lot of room for Hades to become crafty and creative of what he wants in return.
