a new area, with new people (Open!)

[raiho]

She easily realized that the clones of the green haired man were simple illusion, they lacked the fighting intention a real warrior would have and simply passed through them, although the elder man wearing a cane was foiled by the illusion and wasted time fighting against them.

"Don't waste your energy, they are illusions"

Said that, she instead of taking the route mentioned by the man, jumped on the roof of the house using her mighty jumping ability, even if the heartless were to follow, they would be unable to reach those heights. Soon she was in the first district and in the safety of that area, took her time to take the injured person to the hospital carefully.

Meanwhile, yet another figure was witnessing this battle with great interest in the outcome. Oh dear, it was Traverse Town's favorite mad scientist, Saga! She had arrived to the second district even before the quartet of humans did after an encounter with a young man whose name she didn't bother to ask for and was checking the results of an experiment she performed previously when the humans and later the heartless army interrupted.

"A leader of the heartless with the shape of a human ... how interesting. I wonder if I should jump into action or simply examine the development of those events.."

Her presence concealed from the dark one's senses by her own artificially infused heartless dark matter, Saga stalked the leader of the heartless from the shadows and made sure to learn about his abilities, so when the time to capture him arrived, she would know how to deal with him ... with sexy results.

Under other circumstances she would've labeled the green haired man as a corrupted human, but her meeting with a quite helpful nobody of name Maluxia opened her eyes to the idea that both heartless and nobody could take a perfect human shape while retaining their wicked nature as nature freaks.

(Oh well that is just not fair! D:)

As Chinzo's fist blasted through the illusion, his momentum kept on and he ran towards a nearby fountain. He tripped over his own feet and managed to land his fist on the ground near it.

The insuing explosion rocked the whole Second District.

A huge storm of popping and flashing lights exploded in front of Chinzo's face, destroying half the fountain and blowing away about three-fourths of the Heartless army in the area. As a result, Chinzo flew back and high, and landed on a bench. It was crushed under his considerable weight.

He looked up to see the blurry image of the fountain. His sight blurred out to black as his vision left him. The fountain was the last thing he ever truly saw.

[Deleted]

Seed laughed manically as the humans tried to fend off the illusions only to be met with real objects. Of course the only solid clones of Seed were the ones being fended off by some newcomer that just had to ruin all the fun, but Seed could still pull some kind of amusement from this if he really tried. His laughter stopped as he heard some girl call out that she had "found" him, please, as if anyone can really "find" Seed. The insane Heartless used his Spacial magic to move himself directly behind the woman who as calling out to him and let a chilling whisper in her ear.

"Don't put yourself on a pedestal my young one. No one can touch me," then he was back on the fountain as a shock wave filled the district and the illusions where "destroyed" as a result of Seed lost concentration. He plugged his fingers into his ears from the sound and hoped no one caught why the illusions vanished, cause that might be trouble. All it took to neutralize Seeds illusions control was to get his attention off of them, but he had immense concentration so only a sound as loud as that or knocking him out might do the trick.

The Heartless got his bearings back and looked around, all his clones were gone and the Heartless. Just great, this meant that Elaeus did NOT select this place as an invasion, doesn't mean the Heartless can't extract some enjoyment from the pain of humans. So, with a wicked smile making its way on his face, Seed moved his body to the center of the district again and issued a challenge to the people in the area. "Come one come all to this fight!" Seed exclaimed as he threw his arms to this side and spun to face each person there, "Land a hit on me and learn secrets of the Heartless and maybe even a surprise."

[Kuri, Queen of Feels]

Saffron froze when seed was suddenly behind her.
'Damn he's fast' she thought to herself. This had been this first time in quite a while she had been caught off guard.

"Don't put yourself on a pedestal my young one. No one can touch me,"

Almost instinctivy she turned around to stab him with her dagger, but he had already made it back to the top of the fountian.
She looked back up at him angrily, she did not like when people talked like that, but before she could say anything back to him there was a loud roar.

Saffron was still standing near the base of the fountian when as well as a roar, a strong force came and wiped out the clones and a good chunk of the heartless. This force also knocked some peices of debris towards Saffron, Which she was able to block most of, but a sharp peice hit the right side of her head, leaving a cut about an inch long on her forehead.
She was suprised but the sudden pain in her head and moved her hand up to her cut then looked at it, then was not so good amount of blood on her hand.
" Damnit" she muttered to herself, Knowing it would not be a good idea to attempt to fight with her head bleeding so much.
She looked up agian at seed, who now seemed to be challenging them all.

[iuma]

The old man with the brown trenchcoat and metallic walking cane stood up from the ground. The rumbling and a sudden attack from the clones had knocked him over. But inmediatly after that, they also dispersed, leaving the elder alone. The man blinked confused for a moment and then jumped back onto his feet. Checking his coat that had cuts and marks of the arrowheads the clones used. Eventhough the medic said they were only illusions, these wounds proved that at least their attacks were very real.
He poked with a finger through one of the new holes in his large jacket as he mumbled that it would require some more sewing and patching up.

Then the man turned to the rest of the district to witness the further devellopments of the event. Seeing how the large mass of heartless were nearly gone. And that the strange attacker now was standing in the middle again. Provoking them into a challenge. His eyes glanced from Seed to Saffron, seeing the red blood dripping from her head. And then it switched over the motionless body of Chinzo. The body had no strange twists and was apparantly still breathing. However the senior citizin was now vulnerable to the few heartless that managed to survive the onslaught.

Still despite this, a faint rogueish smile was still etched onto his lips. With sparkling eyes that found the entire situation envigorating. Still there wasn't a hair on his rebellious brown head that considered attacking this powerfull foe. He doesn't even need his abilities as a field chronicler to figure out he was out of his league here.

With a sharp and clear voice he called out to Saffron. Who was staring at this green haired menace and was unaware of her surroundings. Speaking loudly for her to understand:
"Saffron,... Chinzo needs your help."
And if she would look at him, he would make a subtle gesture to the unconsious Chinzo that was still lying on top of the crushed bench at the side of the district.

[raiho]

"That was quite unwise of your part, human type defective creature, to reveal the existence of your type to completely random people"

Saga decided that she had watched enough and it was time for direct field research, leaving her hideout and walking between the human team and the heartless. That green haired human type defective creature was such a fool, picking random fights and endangering whatever was the mission of those pathetic excuses of human-looking heartless.

"I wonder what kind of connection you have with Maluxia and Jadis. People of strange nature seems to know each other in this little town"

Jadis the witch was one of many mysteries who knew too much about those nobody and heartless freaks, and nobodies like Marluxia were unavoidably related with the heartless and most likely encountered some of those human-like heartless.

"You look like a human, but does your body feels like a human? Can you feel pain and agony? It will be interesting to discover what makes you work, defective creature"

That defective creature seemed to work only driven by instinct, but could that thing have superior intellectual capabilities? This little experiment was going to prove if he had any resemblance of intelligence or was just another mindless monster with human shape.

She then looked at the old men and the girl, they were not in good shape but could prove to be useful at the end. At least they weren't like that useless boy Jadis saved, who couldn't defend himself even from the weakest of the nobodies.

"Hey you, survive this encounter and you might discover a world of knowledge beyond your expectations"

Then she looked back at the green haired "thing" and challenged him to his own game.

"Defective thing, same challenge for you. Hit me once and maybe you will discover a little surprise, that's it, if you aren't a coward <3"

Fight fire with fire they say, and she was willing to play a little with the "thing" just like "it" played with those humans who got involved in this mess.

Seed was ready to laugh at the hesitation of the humans when another person made themselves known before the Heartless. A very foolish mistake, if this woman had been hiding so easily from Seed it would have done her good to attack from the shadows and not wide open. If Seed had been more focused he would have easily sensed her and would not be in a small state of shock.

"Defective creature? I believe you know nothing about me. A Heartless is the ultimate being, we can only be felled by one weapon and one alone. You kill us with any other and we shall return shortly. And....wait....Did you say Marluxia?" Seeds face proceeded to twist from him trying to control his laughter. But alas the psycho could no longer hold it in, he threw his head back in psychotic laughter. The cackle sounded so vile, so filled with malice it would make the hair on a cat stand on end. The laugh faded into a snicker and then vanished all together as Seed composed himself and answered.

"You want to know my relationship with Marluxia. I'm his boss, more or less. He ran from his own Organization and took refuge with the Heartless. All he is a wandering Nobody with no real security. So I laugh at his misfortune." Seed still chuckled at Marluxias name, ignoring all the other questions he was asked. But he did pick up on a challenge to hit the woman. A seductive smile crept on Seeds face as he used the oldest trick in the book, the old cloak and dagger. He made an illusion directly in front of him and the woman talking to him and then used his Spacial Magic to move himself to right behind her.

"You might want to think before you issue a challenge young lady..." Seed whispered in her ear as he held a metal arrow head to her throat. Seed would still hold to his promise of his challenge but if the woman so much as moved he would relocate himself in a flash.


(Sorry for the 500lb bag of crap this post was. VERY UN-AMUSED WITH World Destiny right now)

[Kuri, Queen of Feels]

Saffrons stare was broken when she heard someone speak to her.

"Saffron,... Chinzo needs your help."

she glaced over in the direction of the voice, seeing it was a semi familiar face. Then she turned and looked for Chinzo. She saw he was laying still on the ground. She was about to ask what she was expected to do about that, She wasn't a doctor or anything, but then she saw that there were few black creatures still around.

As much as she would have like to take the green haired boys challange, she was in no condition to fight him anymore. However protecting Chinzo maybe was a good excuse not to take it. Anything to make her not seem weak; since a lot of people had thought that of her lately.

Then there was a new person to come up and challange this strange green haired person, a perfect apritunity for Saffron to get away from the area, but she had to do it fast.
She placed her dagger back into it sheath strapped to her leg, and then put her hand over to cut on her head, to try to prevent more blood from comming out while she attempted her next move.
Saffron quickly, and quietly darted over to where Chizo was laying.

When she reached him, she felt extremly dizzy, probably from lack of blood reacing her brain. she kneeled down for a molment a tried to regain her balance, but it wasn't happening, it seemed to be getting worse.
She moved her hand that wasn't already on her head and shook Chinzo with it and spoke loudly "Wake up!" But he didn't seem to respond.
Then a few heartless popped up. Saffron quickly whipped out her dagger agian and stabbed them, causeing them to fade away.
However she couldn't keep up fighting for much longer, and it definantly showed, but she tried the best she could to fight off few on coming heartless.

[iuma]

The elder man's smile was dissapearing as the situation further evolved. Calmly he started to walk over towards Saffron and Chinzo. His cane firmly in his hand while keeping both Seed and Saga in the corner of his eye.

Their mutual challenge seemed to have started in a wicked mortal dance. Not something he wanted to get involved with. Right now there was only one concern in the traveller's mind.

Reaching Saffron and the unconcious Chinzo he stood tall and stared down on the two. Seeing how Saffron was struggling but managed to clear the last of the heartless that were preying on the defenseless man that seemed to be even older then him.
With narrow eyes he still kept his attention on the two others. This green haired man and the young woman in the maid outfit were truelly strange visitors to this place.

Softly he spoke, only loud enough for only Saffron to hear:
"Do not fear, lady Saffron. For your yourney will not end here. I propose a retreat is in order. Otherwise there will be casualties. "
The elder pauzed as he looked closely at Chinzo's status. He didn't seemed to be in any immediatly mortal danger but his condition could worsen if left unnatended. Then the man with his endless azureblue eyes looked towards Saffron as he continued on the discrete tone:
"If you trust me, then follow my advice. Take out the map I gave you earlier. The one of Traverse Town. Lay it on the ground and jump on top of it. Carry Chinzo if you can."

The man righted himself again, placing both his hand elegantly on top of his cane in front of him. And turned to observe the fight between Saga and Seed. While saying with urgency in his voice:
"No time to explain, do it now!"
There was a sincere stress in his voice, but also an honesty that couldn't be explained. As he carefully awaited Saffron to comply to his advice. While keeping an eye out for more Heartless or other threats.

[raiho]

"Blah blah blah, even a monkey would make a better retort, little nature freak. And I was here thinking human type black ones would be a bit smarter, yet you are the defective freak I expected. Heartless are incomplete beings born from humanity's selfish desires, therefore my little defect you are a defective and incomplete creature."

She wasn't amused at all by his overinflated ego and slightly grinned comparing that nature freak with a frog inflating his vocal sac to look bigger and mightier.

"Like a frog inflating it's vocal sac, you have an overinflated ego. Maybe I should humble you a little before making you explode .. although I doubt your little primitive mind understands my example <3"

She saw it coming from a mile his little and cheap space magic trick. For one she saw him using it before against those humans and she was tracking his filthy scent. No matter where he went, as long he were in the effective range of her powerful senses, she would detect anyone of his movements.

"Young lady? At least you know how to flatter a lady, although you should know that this "young lady" never issues a challenge she can't win"

The poor fool didn't expect that the moment he moved next to her she immediately intercepted the metal arrow with her clawed gauntlets and deflected it away from her throat while that nature freak whispered like a failure of a ladies man wannabe in her ear.

"When I was a mere child tricks like that impressed me, but grown ups don't fall in circus tricks like that. You would make a wonderful clown and escapist if you joined a circus for all you can do is run away."

She slightly smiled after foiling the defect's trick and didn't do anything else but expect another circus trick like throwing some fireworks. What's more, she didn't even try to strike him because a cowardly egomaniac like would simply teleport away and say something like "hahaha, I was expecting that"

"Even Marluxia proved to be more useful than you. Are nobodies really so superior to heartless? If you can't amuse me with something good then go back to the circus like the coward you are."

Just to prove her point, she showed him her back and waited to see if he tried to backstab her.

[chinzovsmarth]

Blackness. All black. Chinzo knew he was technically conscious, but inside his subconcious, if that makes any sense at all. A powerful voice echoed around him, standing alone in the black expance that was his unconcious mind.

"Chinzo, I know it is you. And I think you know who I am."

Chinzo gasped. He did know who it was, the voice was easily recognizable. She was the Candle Queen, goddess of the Blacchians, or what was left of them.

"I know of your peril, and I shall restore your eyesight because of all you've been through."

Chinzo cocked his head. He had lost his eyesight? Since when?

"Now, awaken, my child, and destroy the abomination!"

Then the blackness was white, rainbow, pure lime green, and then negative colors. That was all he could see in, now, for his eyesight could never truly return. His eyes were now a milky white, misty and glowing. He cracked an eye open to see the green - or, now, red - haired Heartless commander behind the lady who had risked her life for Saffron, for the mysterious elder, and for him. This would not stand.

"Die... Bastard...!" he managed to grunt as he sent a powerful, raging blizzard full of twsiting energy and lightning. "Blacchian blast...!" and he lay back again, to relax. He somehow heard a distorted voice echo across his mind, something about a map, maybe...?

(Seed, please don't dodge this one. He won't be expecting it, one, and two, no-one's managed to land a hit on you this whole thread. I do believe it's time.)

[Deleted]

(EDIT: MAKING ACTUAL POST NOW)

Why did everyone like to talk in riddles these days? Seed got the meaning before the woman even stopped speaking, but she continued to say that he was worthless and below Marluxia. She reminded Seed of himself before he met Elaeus, she based everything on the fact that he, although old, appeared young and cocky. A terrible mistake made by many in the tides of battle but that---Seeds thoughts were interrupted by an announced attack and the sound of whirling energy. He whipped his head around and threw his arms up in a defensive manner and tried to move out of the way, he stepped away from the woman in front of him but the attack hit him on the side and sent him into the wall five feet away.

He tried his best to move the air around his back to soften the blow but all he could manage from the shock of being blindsided was cushion himself slightly; he still put a decent crack in the wall but that was nothing that he was not used too. Training with Elaeus toughened him up but still, hitting your back always hurts.

"Damn, that was a nasty sting. Let me guess, that was your "I'll kill you for hurting my friends" attack wasn't it?! Seed yelled in disgust as he pulled himself off the ground and wiped the ruble away from his cloths. He was not bleeding because a Heartless lacks an actual body and thus cannot really bleed. He gave a grunt of disgust at himself for not remembering that there was another with a built up anger and magic behind him. But he did keep his promise, he walked forward and gave a Heartless secret. "I keep promises and here you go! Heartless can only die at the hands of one weapon. Other weapons may destroy our conscious body but they will just reform days later! Now who is next! I'm just dieing to see what else you all got!" Seed said as he stopped walking and moved his body back to the fountain not to far away.


(CRAP POST! >.>)

[Kuri, Queen of Feels]

Saffron looked confusedly at the man.. jumping onto a map? was he crazy? it was just a peice of paper!
Could she really trust him? after all.. she wasn't even sure of his name...
But then agian, how long would she last here? her dizzyness was getting worse and she was now not only trying to fight off the heartless, but also trying to keep concious. she looked at the two fighting, and she sort of wished that she could be fighting too. then she looked at Chinzo and back at the strange man giving her the odd comand.

She took out the map and looked at it.... still not quite understanding what this move would mean... but the lest she could do was let chinzo follow the command. So she placed the map on the ground as instructed, and attempted to drag him ontop of it since she could not lift him. But as soon as she accomplished it, she had let her focus slip, just for one second, and all of the exhaustion from her recent travels and the dizzyness she felt from her injury suddenly caught up to her in that instant, and she fell to the ground, passed out.

(MMkkaayy.... IUMA, although i did it a bit diffrently, Saffron is following the orders, you should like... pm me or somthing with what to do next cause i am confused about whats gona happen with this XD)

[iuma]

Seeing how Saffron started to drag the unconsious Chinzo the map, the elderly man was smiling delightfully. He placed the tip of his cane on a corner of the map before Saffron reached it. And the map laying on the ground started to glow.

Unknown powers and magic were now at work, and as Saffron stepped onto the map. The map shined brightly. The body of the young girl started to shrink just as she was falling backwards. She shrunk and fell untill she got sucked up by the map and dissapeared.
The body of Chinzo followed closely afterwards, undergoing the same process. It got sucked up in some magical way by the map. But they were not on or in the map. They were teleported to a different unknown location. An other form of the element of space was beeing handled.

Only the weary traveller remained. Looking down on the glowing piece of parchement as it was him who did this. Using his powers and abilities to safely remove the wounded from this dangerous situation. Although he only cared for Saffron. Should she had left behind Chinzo he would surely also have leaved him to his fate.

Turning to Seed who was moving towards the fountain he called out to him and said:
"Not much of a secret there young lad. It is common knowledge that only the Keyblade can truelly defeat Heartless and Nobodies. Now then, i've lingered here for far to long now. Tally-ho!"

And with this he jumped himself onto the map. During the jump the man also shrunk in size and got sucked up by the map. Dissapearing from the second district.
The map remained behind. But it stopped glowing. It was turned back into a ordinary piece of paper. No magic could be sensed of it, no trace could be found on it. The map could not be used to recreate the effect. It was the man itself who only used the map as a medium to channel his energy and travel to a different location. Leaving the Green haired Heartless and the grey/white haired maid all alone in the Second District.
