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.

Lumaria walked through the Halloweentown graveyard, several Angel Star heartless floating in a protective ring around him. There had been some Nobodies here that had caught him by surprise. He'd dispatched them easily, of course. The Heartless were merely an extra precaution to prevent the Sonic Blade from being caught off guard again.
However, something just didnt' seem right here. This place was too quiet, even for a graveyard, and he'd been in plenty of graveyards. The only soundwaves he saw were emanating from himself and the heartless. Everything else, even the wind and the dead trees, were deathly silent. It was somewhat unnerving, even for Lumaria, who was used to silence.
He opened his mouth, revealing his mouthful of razor-sharp teeth, and let out a small hiss, one of few sounds he could actually still make without using his sound manipulation powers. It was an indication that he didn't like this situation at all. It was an attempt to relieve his nerves, as well, since it sent a ripple of soundwaves out over the graveyard.
As the soundwaves from the hiss died away, it only served to remind Lumaria of the silence that surrounded him. There was something there causing the silence. Even Halloweentown had small kinds of animals of its own variety around. skeletal birds and dogs of some kinds, a few owls here and there maybe. Usually they could be heard on occasion, but now?
No, something was close that had them keeping themselves silent in an attempt to keep from drawing attention to themselves. Lumaria's guess was that it was a large concentration of Nobody's that the Organization had sent, or a member of the Organization itself. Either was a possibility he was prepared for. Should one of them attack, he had his swords ready and waiting for summon, their blades covered in a new coat of poison.....
Ssst! Marluxia’s scythe sliced through a Berserker Nobody and sliced through a small tree at the same time and the empty shell burst into small ribbons of itself and was taken into the darkness. This was the third attack this week, clearly Xemnas got the word out to that Marluxia had gone rouge to the other Nobodies not in the Organization. His only loyal subjects where his human or human like helpers and his own unique Nobody, his Vipers. But even they were beginning to cast a blind eye; his numbers need to be replenished. Marluxia dismissed his scythe when a hissing sound reached his ears. No, it couldn’t be. Could it?
”Lumaria…” Marluxia hissed himself as a portal opened up around him and took him to a branch overlooking the graveyard were his other walked. The Assassin’s thoughts were running wild, ”He’s been gone for more than a year. Why is he surrounded by Angel Stars? How did his hiss reach myears? Does Elaeus know Lumaria is back?” XI raised his arm and three medium length rose swords formed over each Angel Star and crushed each under the blades and a ROSE CLONE Marluxia formed in front of Lumaria and only said one word.
Lumaria was beginning to wonder if it wasn't just his mind playing tricks on him. Maybe there really wasn't anything but low-level Nobodies here, and they were no real cause for concern. Maybe it was time to return to The World that Never Was, to their half of the castle.
Lumaria's thoughts were interrupted as a number of rose swords turned all of his Angel Stars to black mist that floated off in the still, fetid air of the graveyard. Lumaria immediately reacted, turning around and sending out a high pitched sound that was at such a high frequency, it even hurt HIS head.
And he was deaf.
He also sent out another soundwave, at a high pitch that no ear would be able to detect, and waited for it to return. As it did, Marluxia appeared in front of him.
Or did he?
As he looked at the Marluxia in front of him, his echo-location told him that there was somenoe else of Marluxia's exact same size behind him in a tree. Lumaria doubted this was a coincidence. The Sonic Blade just ignored the real one and turned to this kind of clone and summoned a single sword to his right hand.
"What are you doing here, Marluxia?" Lumaria said, adopting the voice he'd had as a human, before his tongue had been cut out, even originating the sound from where his mouth was. He wanted to know why Marluxia was here. It was him the Nobody's were after. Lumaria was sure about it. He'd betrayed the Organization, again, and had been kicked out. It was likely all the Nobodies here were trying to hunt the rogue down and destroy him before he could do any damage.
One thing was for sure, though, Lumaria wasn't going to lose to his weak other. He refused to. The Nobody was a fool, especially to cross Xemnas. Lumaria knew much better than to cross Ansem. It was a shame his other didn't share his amount of wit. It might've made things so much easier on the Nobody....
The real Marluxia covered his ears at the sound that filled the air. As the sound ended, Marluxia pulled his hands away from his ears and saw his hands were covered in blood. He touched his ear again and felt the cause of the bleed, his ear drums must have ruptured ever so slightly from that wail. XI then realized that his others powers have changed from last time; sound is now his forte. Interesting, a power that is in no way a connection to Flora has manifested itself in the opposite of a Flora master, this requires actual appearance. The clone dissipated and the real Marluxia took its place in front of Lumaria.
”Now don’t get aggressive old chap. We have so much to catch up on no?” Marluxia teased as he summoned his scythe to defend against any attack Lumaria might use. Though Marluxia had no intention of attacking, it might just be the only thing that gets through to him as it might be put. But as the rose swords were still stuck in the ground, Marluxia found himself at an advantage.
Since his connection with the XII was established, Marluxia has been able to gather more and more help without major concern from Xemnas or the others. With that help, maybe Lumaria might be interested in his future offer. But for now Marluxia must calm the beast in Lumaria, because if he still holds the same personality as Marluxia, doing that might actually need a fight.
”I’m here to find Ienzo or Elaeus, but if it’s a meaningless fight you want I’ll be happy to oblige.” Marluxia answered hoping to entice Lumaria’s curiosity or maybe his annoyance musle.
(ooc: okay....just one question, Seed....how did the high pitched sound not affect Marluxia at all? .-. I said it even hurt Lumaria's head, and he's deaf. If it's enough to affect a deaf person, it'll definitely affect him, hands over his ears or no. Something other than "oh, I covered my ears" should have happened there. Can you please edit?")
