Crossing paths

Growling at the insult Akuma spun around at speed, her blades deflecting the green blades back at the attacker. Coming to a halt she looked up at him with fangs bared and snapped back at him. "Fool do you know what you are dealing with?" Before he could answer she jumped high in the air and prepared another swing of her keyblades, which were glowing more brightly this time, and bringing them down upon him faster.

"Hehehen.." He gave a light chuckle to the girl's anger. Giving a grin under his cloaked face the swords she had deflected burst into currents of wind, breaking up the female's attack by the sheer strength of the winds. Quickly slashing with his fan, a forward current of wind strong enough to push her back slightly. As he caused the current of wind though, several feathers dislodged themselves toward the female, enough speed behind them to pierce the skin slightly. The feathers were replaced rather quickly though after being fired.

Akuma landed and planted her hooves into the ground to prevent herself falling back into the ditch where her allies were laying. She blocked some of the feathers hitting her face and chest but a few scraped past her arm. Growling again she glared at the man in the cloak, her bloodied right eye turning misty while her left narrowed in anger. She bolted forward and sent a flurry of blows at him, using her blades one after another at a rapid pace. Slicing, swiping, thrusting, and slamming them towards him, driving him back.

(ooc: wait for Kar to post next k?)

"Ugh..."He grumbled to himself as he got up slowly and struggled to to get to his feet due to the strain of the last battle....
"Darn it.....These freaks just keep popping up out of nowhere...."He flicked his hand to his side attempting to summon his kingdom key...
He gazed at their fast paced fight....
"How will I keep up in my condition...?"
"Wait a sec...MAGIC!!!"
He gave himself a quick slap to the face for being a little stupid that time....(Maybe concussions...I dunno..)
He raised his key in the air,his eyes shone with a usual silverish glow as he used his skills which come from some unknown reason still...
"HEAL!!!"A drizzle of green aura flew down upon him healing some of his injuries and strain...
With a quick inhale of air he charged at the attacker....somehow faster than usual...
He spun around closing his eyes as he did flung his keyblade at the cloaked man...his blade ablaze with a small force field around it...hoping it would hit it's target...

"Damn.." The Xunxeus muttered to himself. He had no choice but to let roar a great wind, through the use of both fans in each hand. This in turn sent him flying back as would the heroes. Seeing that this fight was hopeless on his side for now, he suddenly dislodged all of the feathers from his fan, making a mini cloud of white falling feathers. As the feathers began to float apart all that was left was the last threads of the portal of darkness closing.

With a yelp of surprise Akuma ducked under the mass of floating feathers and attempted to charge at the dark portal. Unfortunately she missed and hit the floor, rolling onto her back and breathing hard, staring up at the sky. She sat up and let her blades disappear, looking back at her ally she gave a half smile. "Sorry about all of this, I should have spoken to you sooner. I am Akuma, and you are?" She asked as she stood up and brushed the feathers and dust off her clothes, her tail twitched as her hands moved over open cuts and bruises. Still smiling at her ally.

His keyblade hit and stuck to a rock wall...as his fire raid missed the enemy as he escaped...
He looked at his side and heard her speak to him...
"Er...I'm Karisu...Thanks for all the help by the way Akuma,...aheh.."He answered her kinda awkwardly,since her smile to him was kinda unnerving....He looked at his other side to see his clone...still knocked out...He looked back at Akuma and asked.."You know someplace to keep this guy tied up I kinda still have questions to ask him,and someplace we can take a breather..?"He said as he gave a heavy sigh,due to his tired status...He remembered the city damaged by the chaos that took place that day..."Oh wait,we still need to tidy up the city...or whats left of it.."He tried to give a smile back as he hated himself for not being able to help those injured and affected by all this....


(OOC:Hey Akuma can I make more than one charcter like you did..?I would like to put a storyline for my clone and Xehanort's apprentice...just so I can control them and show a bit of their past thats connected to Karisu...just wondering...)

(ooc: yes but only two at most for now, dont get too heavy with story lines though ok, i want this forum to last as long as possable so we need to keep every rp at a steady pace untill a story turning point such as the completion of organisation XIII)

Akuma looked at the unconcious body and sighed heavily. She was also thinking about the damage to hollow bastion, it didn't look too bad but still some work had to be done. "I have some rope in my side pouch, I'll take him into the castle, into the old proffesor's study." She smiled back at Karisu and walked over to his clone. She took a length of rope from her side pouch and bit through it so it was a decent length to tie his hands behind his back. She hoisted him up onto her shoulder and turned back to her new friend. "C'mon, let's move before he wakes up, we can sort out the city after we get some answers from this one." She jerked her shoulder to enphasise who she was talking about and started walking back towards the city.

He nodded and followed to walk in the direction she was headed...His clone still asleep...He thinks of what to ask him exactly...and if he has any connection to how he got so far from his home...but that didn't matter...He was sorta enjoying his little adventure...and was hoping to learn more about how this guy looked like him...and how he got his kingdom keyblade,I remembers that the great sora was rumored to have a kingdom key as well when his journey began.......So many questions.....He gazed up at the sky as he walked...seeing all the stars made him wonder where his world was located in the brilliant night sky.....He looked back at the way he was walking and just kept up with Akuma for a while..... His steps slowed down as if his world was slowly coming to a stop....he felt a person standing beside him...he turned around sharply...only to catch a trail of darkness disappearing before him....Suddenly time goes back to normal and he notices he's far behind...he sprints to catch up...As he races towards Akuma...He thinks..."I wonder who or what that was..?"

Akuma looked back at Karisu and smiled. "Everything allright there Kar? You look like you just saw a ghost." She stopped for a second to face him, adjusting the limp body on her shoulders a little. They were close to the baily now so not so far from the town. "You wanna take a rest for a moment?" She asked in a concerned tone.

He gave a surprised look at her while slightly scratching his head saying..."Erhm....I'm fine let's just get to where ever we're going....He followed her until they got to their destination on the way seeing the destruction caused by Xehanort and his apprentice....."Why did he heal me..?"He thought...."And by the way he spoke as if he was familiar with me...Hmm..."He said with his hand on his chin looking quite puzzled..

Akuma put the boy on her shoulders down on a wooden chair in a large round office. Moving a few things around to make more space for her and Karisu. She looked up at the picture hanging on the wall and back to the boy on the chait, she took the rest of her rope out of her pouch and tied him to the back of the chair so he could not up and run on them. Turning to face Karisu again she smiled and said. "I'll just get us something to eat and drink kay? I wont be long, if he" She gestured towards their captive. "Wakes up, you can start the interregation without me." She smiled again and left the room.

He gave her a little smirk..."Sure..."
When she left the room he stopped and looked at his clone for a second,on how shocking the resemblance was...HE couldn't wait anymore he started shaking the guy's face...until he came to..."Hey...wake up!!!"...The drowsy guy wpke up with a sour look on his face...."What are you doing..?And why am I tied up...?!?"He struggled for a bit until Karisu pointed his keyblade at him....
"I wanna know answers from you....Tell me...who are you exactly..."He stared at him in the eyes with a serious look...
His clone looked down for a bit...and said.."I'm...Kurosu's nobody....",As soon as he said this...Karisu stood up shocked..."Kurosu's...nobody...?I remember...my brother...my mom told me I had three...One of them was my twin.....his name was...Kurosu!!!!"He crouched down at eye level with him..."Are you him...or...?Kurosu's clone answered slowly...."I am just his nobody...."
"A nobody..?"Karisu asked in reply...."Nobodies are....the other half of a person after they turn into a heartless...the ones without hearts...nobodies too..have no hearts..no emotions....only those with strong hearts...keep a human appearance when they are born...your brother...is long gone....lost in the darkness as a heartless....."
"How do you know all of this...."He said quite sadly....he hoped it was his missing twin...
"Castle oblivion....when I was made I had nowhere to go...this old man...xehanort...told me to go to the castle to find my answers...he said I would end up forgetting something...in order to remember what I was searching for...I went for it...cause how could I lose something...If I don't really have anything....I remembered who my other half was...Kurosu.....And his missing heart...resides within his twin....you...So I looked for you hoping that getting my other's heart back ..would make me whole again..as my own person......That's all I know...."
His explanation left Karisu speechless...."I don't even remember taking my brother's heart..."After he said this he felt his chest hurt and stumbled to the ground..."It's....it's talking to me....my brothers...heart..."And he blacked out on the floor...

(ooc: slow down mate, nothing dramatic like this for another ten posts k, not including mine.)

Akuma came back into the room holding a tray with sandwiches and three cans of soda water. She noticed Karisu on the floor and quickly put the tray on the desk. She knelt down beside him and shook him gently. "KAR! Wake up!" She turned her head quickly to the boy in the chair and hissed at him. "What did you do?!" Slowly she stood up and crossed the room to him glaring down at him. Her ears twitched a little and she just sighe. "I'll deal with you after." She turned back around and knelt down beside Karisu. Pulling his head onto her lap so he wouldn't hurt himself if he moved.

(Kay....dramatic..?!?Like...How dramatic..?In what way..?)

Kurosu's nobody gave Akuma a sharp look..."Hey!I didn't do this.....he just kinda collapsed on his own...He was just just asking me questions then..."He stared at Karisu's horrible state as Akuma placed him on her lap...
Karisu motionless in Akuma's lap,although he is breathing steadily,but kinda weakly in a way....He mumbles some words as he falls into a deep sleep..."Kurosu..?"And finds himself in a void filled with darkness......
(Not too dramatic..?)

(thats fine ooc)

Akuma looked back at the boy in the chair and scowled at him. She moved her tail to the back of the chair and cut through the ropes, letting him go. "You can have two of the sandwiches and a drink from the tray. But your not going anywhere for a while got it?" She turned away from him again and looked back down at Korisu, unsure weather to wake him or leave him wake up on his own. She decided to let him wake on his own,he might get hurt if she woke him too quickly.

He saw himself...alone a float in the darkness....He see's a distant figure a guy aged 13 at least...calling out to him...The guy turns and he is covered with a familiar armor with a helmet on his head and just disappears..."Wait your name..your name is..."
He wakes up shouting on Her lap..."Rafael..?!?"And then he knew that was his younger brother...the name that escaped him..the brother that healed him....he lay there his eyes glazed open..
His brother's nobody...almost choking on the sandwiches he was chewing on...and grabbed a glass of water and chugged it down...after which he took some deep heavy breaths..."Finally awake huh...?"

Akuma jumped a little and looked down at Karisu with a concerned look. She put her hand on his head to calm him down. "You ok Karisu? You blacked out there for a while..." She sat him up and moved over to the desk, grabbing a sandwich and a drink, then taking them over to Karisu, giving them both to him. "Here you should eat something." She said smiling at him, still with a little worry in her eye.

He stared at the sandwich in hand just staring at it....
"How come he's set free...?!?"
Kurosu's nobody stopped chewing for a second and replied
"Why would I need to escape..?You're the one I'm looking for remember..?!?
"Then he continued munching on his snack..."Hey whats in this thing anyways...?"He bluntly asked Akuma...
"Listen up...I have a deal for you..."Karisu looked him straight in the eye...
The nobody wiped the crumbs off his face with a wipe using his cloak's sleeve...
"I'm listening..."
"You need your heart back right..?!?Well If you help me get back our other brother,I will personally return your heart to you.."
"He's not technically my brother but..."
"Do you want to save Rafael or not..?!?"Karosu shouted...giving out his hand to the nobody..
"Hmm..fine.."He took his hand and they gave a firm handshake...
"Do you even know where he is..?"
"Well...in my dream..right before I woke up..Rafael wore an armor similar to Xehanort's apprentice..."
"That's strange...how did he end up with that old man..?"Said Kurosu's nobody with a finger to his chin..
"I don't know..I still don't remember.."He took a bite out of the sandwich...
"Hey Akuma,do you have any references like books that could help us..?"He said as the food was still in his mouth..
"Oh by the way...."Kurosu's nobody interrupted"Call me Gabe,I don't want to be called Kurosu's nobody or anything like that..
Karisu nods at him as he sips from the drink in his cup...

Akuma looked at Gabe and replied. "Egg and bacon.." She watched them talk to each other and started eating the last sandwich. Walking around the room looking through the bookshelves for something. She heared the question and looked around. "This was Ansem the wise's study, I think I heared the name Xehanort before, or read it somewhere. There might be a book here with some information in, but his reports are lost. However there may be a page or two hinting to where they might be.." She answered unsurely but continued looking, picking up books, reading a page and putting them back. Growing more frustrated as she went.

Finally picking up a small black book she scaned through the pages and stared at a page for a few seconds. She pocketed the book and sighed. "Well theres some good news and some bad news...which do you wanna hear first?"

He had just finished sipping his drink,He glanced at Gabe and nodded...Gabe complied as well also giving a nod..
"Bad news first..?"Karisu said as he gave a slight worried look at Akuma...
He hoped it wasn't too bad...in the corner of his mind he knew it was going to be..

Akuma rubbed the back of her head and smiled nervously. "Well, the bad news is...the reports which contain information on the heartless and nobodies are lost, they have been hidden and kept secret since...since the last keyblade user.." She paced around a bit and thought hard. "The good news is..The pages are all intact and we have one right here in Hollow Bastion, however we need to find it, it might be in the castle or someone must have it.." She looked at them and sat on the desk edge. "Looks like the three of us are in this together now so..let the quest begin huh?"



(ooc: after you post Kar i'll make a new topic to start our adventure.)

With a smirk he glanced at Gabe..
"All for one..?"
Karisu raised is keyblade which he noticed completely changed now...It was a red colored keyblade with blue edges...with a blade that resembles a "K".. a keychain in a shape of a ceoss..His "Power Twin keyblade"...if you will...
Gabe gave a similar smirk and raised his silver keyblade..and placed it near karisu's...
"Akuma..?"Karisu glanced at her...waiting for her to place her keyblade as well...
("I know it's lame but kindly finish off the corny all for one..thing"..xD)

Akuma smiled and jumped forward to them, both her keyblades summoned to her hands, she crossed them in front of her and touched the tips if the other two keyblades. A light grew from the tips and flashed, leaving the room a little brighter. "One for all, it starts here."
