Performance Reviews: Elaeus

[alan8or]

Ansem rubbed his temples as he waited for the next meeting. Even tended to be... interesting to talk to. Still, he could be useful, if chaotic.

Next was Elaeus, number five, the Earth Titan. He might very well have some useful information.

...duty calls...as usual...

Looking around in the vast realm of darkness, Elaeus snorted and began walking in a general direction accompanied by a ruby gaia. It has been a while, since his last encounter with Ansem. The last direct order of action was to guard the Castle of Abyss from a narrow minded keyblade wielder, which later turned into a party with nobodies. He was only heading towards the World That Never Was for a few reasons: duty calls and so does curiosity.

What does he wants now...and what triggered him to come back from all the hiding...

Tucking his hands in his pockets, the darkness parted for him like the Red Sea giving an entrance to his scheduled meeting. With a low grumble, his eyes glanced over at the gaia next to him through covered eyes. It bowed its head before retreating with a huff of smoke emitting from its jaws as it softly barked.

"You rang..."

[alan8or]

"Please, sit." Ansem gestured to the seat across the desk. It seemed that Elaeus was less than pleased to be there, but as long as he followed orders, his attitude was not Ansem's concern. He began with his general speech that he would use on everyone that day.

"As you are no doubt aware, I have been absent for some time now. During my absence, the members of the Dark XII, yourself included have been left to their own devices. I now wish to know exactly what those devices are." Ansem focused intently on Elaeus, arms crossed, awaiting his response.,

As soon as he sat down, one leg propped itself on the other, while the heartless reclined comfortably. A brow perked at the straight forward request, which seemed obviously rehersed or memorized. He only wanted to know what had occured during his absense. Unfortunately it was little to nothing. With the previous advantage of an unorganized unorthodox Organization XIII, one would think that the Heartless would jump the bandwagon to a series of devasting projects to get a lead, but now the Dark XII dangled at the same level as their counterparts, unsuccessful yet succesfully unorganized.

"You are already aware of the recruits, but if you forgotten there's Seed, Maverick; who I might add seems quite unstable...unstable to be easily convinced, Kuja; who is now where insight, along with a dragon Ciraph, a flower loving Roze and etc. Perhaps the reins need to be tightened. Too many people are all over the place to be kept up with, and that's not helpful when others are taking note of us...whether that's forunate or not."

There was the typical hunt for a route to devaste the light around us; the project of finding a way to use light agaisnt light was simply resolved by using a heartless you have effortlessly tinkered with, an emblem. Although, it took enough work to find Silver Rocks; it's easier now that Myde finally returned, who have a link to them. Utlizing them in an ideal weaponry was the next step, which haven't been touched."

"Other than that, there have been more idealistic thoughts...such as: hunting down those princesses you've collected before. After all if kingdom hearts...well making one, is the admired goal then harvesting them can make everything...easier...and chaotic to those who oppose us. There was that attempt to shut down Radiant Garden's defenses, but little Era couldn't inflitrate Tron as easily and skillfully as one would hope."

"Despite those failures, removing worlds one by one is always an option," there were enough not tended to or guarded that taking control would seem easy. True darkness would attract opposing forces, but if darkness acted in unison it can devour light just as easily as a tsunami could wipe out soothing Destiny Islands.

Ansem nodded, satisfied with Elaeus' response. He reached out a hand as the large, black hand of the Guardian appeared out of the shadows behind him and handed him a small folder. "I agree; there are a few too many loose threads. It will be looked into."

With that said, Ansem opened the folder, which contained Elaeus' records, and skimmed through them. Ah, here was something interesting...

"It says here you've taken to feeding a strange Heartless. Care to tell me more?"

His brows furrowed softly. Elaeus didn't really admired that he had...a folder, a record. It gave a nostalgia of being a test experiment. Atleast he wasn't a run tests of Even. Now he wondered who in the world been following him; glancing up, he wasn't surprised in seeing the guardian. If he was watching his every move, then why ask questions...and why have he concealed his presence?

"Strange? I doubt strange is appropriate if so we're all indeed...strange. Heartless wise I'm oddly linked to enough of them, but when it comes to feeding you must be referring to a little Neoshadow. You've wanted it before, but when it looks like all the others quite hard to track; also it can have an impeccable...shyness and fear."

Although he wasn't lord of neoshadows, he had mingled with it more than Ienzo, who had difficulty to communicate with it efficiently. The day he brought Ienzo with him to lure the neoshadow it had fled with overwhelment. "He's a strong neoshadow nonetheless, but still have that carnal appetite for hearts and hunting like any other. Yet he have proven to follow directions...rather thoroughly."

If it was to get any stronger, it can be used to severe unwanted ties, a neoshadow assassin. All that's needed to make it agree was a heart to feed off of. "Any other questions of curiousity...concerns?"

[alan8or]

"Interesting." It seemed this Neoshadow could prove quite useful. It would need to be tested, however, and Ansem had the perfect thing in mind for just that. He closed the file again and handed it back to the Guardian.

"You've told me what I need to know. Now for your orders. Here are coordinates to a new world." As he spoke he handed Elaeus a folder containing the information about his orders. "You and Dilan are to go to this world and find the world heart. Be discreet while doing so. From what we already know, there should not be much resistance. Then, when given the signal, you are to find that Neoshadow and loose it on the citizens of that world. I wish to know how he performs. When you are done, claim the world's heart, and leave. It is imperative, however, that you wait for the signal before revealing yourselves. Any questions?"

((The world is the High School Musical world. I've already got admin permission for this.))

Elaeus gripped the folder tightly, flipped it open, read it, then looked back at Ansem as if he had lost his marbles...the little he had left. Not only does the place sound revolting, but he wanted him to take the least discreet member to tag along with him with a hungry fiend. Maybe having the hungry fiend was a perk. Then again, he would have to make sure the bloody thing don't get carried away in a crowd of such setting.

"I wonder if this supposed to be funny. Also how would unleashing that thing on this world supposed to test its performance. As if it would have a level of difficulty in a humain education facility of null humes since it hunts in Traverse Town, but it's your call."

He wondered how this experience would be: nostalgia of his youth or babysitting Dilan the Typhoon Angler and a neoshadow. Actually the more he thought about it, the more he wasn't looking forward to it.

"On that note, what is this so called signal?"

[alan8or]

"I'm more interested in how quickly it can obliterate anything even resembling resistance; I don't expect there to be any problems. Just let it run loose. As for the signal, I will send along a messenger. That will be all." With that, Ansem gestured towards the exit, indicating that he would take no more questions. The meeting was over.
