The Chasers: New World Locket

[Rikugurl]

Gunnar was watching the screen, making sure the valves were opened when they needed to be so that the ship didn't catch on fire. He was pretty good at it... he had to be.

Ven hurried to pull on his Chaser outfit... but unlike always, he skipped the belts and buckles. He wasn't there to represent the Chasers while getting a keyblade... he was there to save a world.
He pulled his small back spikes into a tiny ponytail before heading to the research room quickly. Maybe he should of put the research room into a bigger room... one that everyone could fit in... but again, he wasn't use to having the four extra people.

His eyes darkened as he saw another red light flash and another beeping pushed out. Olette growled. "Who's doing this!?"
They both stopped and looked at Aqua and Terra as they came in. When he got the nod, the blonde left the woman to keep watch.


Quite honestly, Axel didn't know why he got sunburned either... at least not so badly! It should of been Riku's pale ass to get it bad. He knew it... the universe was out to get him!
He got in line though after he got dressed in a casual shoulder shirt and jeans.
His eyes widened and glowed as he heard the words 'burn' and 'fire' from Aqua. Wow! Sounded like his kind of mission.


Ventus stood straight next in front of the group as Terra walked in front of him. He nodded as his lover gave the orders and as Terra started to hand out the communicators, he put them on and started to talk. "Remember, we're all timed here... and that no one knows how much time we have left... so let's just have a mind frame of six minutes. If you don't do your job carefully and efficiently, you're dead. Make sure you do an outstanding job helping these dragons and be careful... if something goes wrong, the region your protecting will die. No false moves, no turning back."

Aero Maxim appeared in his hand, making the others react.
"Once you're down there, make sure you sign in with Olette to make sure your communicator is working. We can't lose you out there."
He looked across the team and nodded.
"Good luck out there... and make it back."


Riku nodded but frowned, quickly leaning over and kissing Sora quickly before he pointed his keyblade away, a black hole slowly forming. Axel looked at the hole and blinked. Ah... Darkness travel again. He quickly gave Roxas a kiss before jumping in after Riku.


Fuu sighed but kissed Aqua sweetly, squeezing her hand for support. She would put her all into this to save her lover's world. Ven ripped a portal open and she jumped through. Blue eyes caught the others before the blonde was gone too.


The smell of blood filled Sai's nose from afar. He snarled, knowing whose blood it belonged to. Something happened to Demyx... but he couldn't turn away... he needed to protect the people. He continued to push water onto the mountain to stop the burning. His yellow eyes glowed as raging waters continued to soak him from head to toe.

He could hear the music playing over the water... but it was drowned out. He didn't even think Regole could hear it. He blinked though as he heard something from above. Lightning? He snarled once more as he saw a dragon snake through the clouds and then crash into something. Thunder roared through the sky as the dragon bellowed.

He wondered if the Berserkers from the other regions knew what was going on...

But his thoughts stopped as he heard a cry behind him. The blue haired man looked back at the sea, his glowing eyes widening. A huge wave was coming towards the town... and if it wasn't stopped, the temple and a few homes would be gone. He suddenly let out a fierce roar as he held out his arms wide. His claws grew as a force flew from his body and cupped the incoming wave. The waters seemed to hit an invisible wall for a moment... until Saix pushed out his arms.

The water raged back towards the sea as Saix pushed his body down quickly, his claws pressing into the sand. A sudden blast came from around him and blew out right towards Regole. It parted the sea so that the bottom could be seen. It parted the water all the way towards the dragon in pain and then suddenly, blue ancient symbols covered the exposed seabed, pushing all the way towards the dragon.

This was the first time Sai had down this... but it was the ancient powers of the Berserkers. They had the power to reach the dragons, no matter where they be. The ancient symbols ran over Regole scales, then faded into her. It was a soothing attempt, letting the dragon know that it was being protected... but it was up to Regole to acknowledge it.

The adults in the temple started to pray for Regole and hoped that she could hear it. The children were looking out the window, watching Demyx and Sai protect them.


Riku and Axel appeared on a ledge in the mountains. Before they knew where there were... something was heading for them. Riku's eyes widened as he covered himself. "SHIELD!" He called before a large fireball pressed against him and passed. He blinked and looked up, seeing a large red dragon not too far away.

Axel blinked... and coughed out smoke as the fire hit him head on. He grinned, leaning over. "Ah... that felt nice..." He shook his head and blinked as he saw the red dragon. Wow... what a beautiful thing that wa---

"Come on! Stop it! Calm down Dart!" A woman called that was near the dragon. Each time the dragon would blow out fire, she seemed to attempt to make a reflect, making the fire bounce back at the dragon to where the huge gash was in his wing... but the dragon would counterattack it and put the flames out.

Riku and Axel quickly ran up, Riku dodging the fire that fell around him and Axel driving right through it.
The woman looked back, her eyes an amber color and fangs quite apparent. She had claws and long red hair. Axel and Riku were a bit drawn back before thinking... she must of been the Berserker for Dart's region.

"What are you doing here!?" She snapped as the dragon roared again behind them. Riku frowned. "We're here to help. We're a friend of Sai, the Berserker from this realm." The woman looked at him up and down... but. "Where's the other one?" She blinked and looked back at Dart, her eyes widening as she saw the redhead ON the dragon. "HEY! DON'T WALK ON HIM LIKE THAT!"
"AXEL!" The silverette cried. What was his brother-in-law? Fucking stupid!?

Axel heard the cries behind him but he continued to walk on the scales. The dragon didn't seem all too happy but with each step the man too, fire pressed against the red scales. He looked up at the wound as as quickly as he could, a wall of fire was made and blasted towards it.


Ventus and Fuu landed on a a rocky ledge. Ven's eyes widened as he looked out, seeing a view that looked hauntingly familiar... a valley of clouds. To the left of the ledge was a large mountain, a town placed on flat rocks and trees sprouting around it. Fraybrand's forest must of been over there.

They suddenly stopped as they heard a shrill above them. Ven could feel it... the disturbance in the wind. He looked where it was coming from. Behind another tall mountain. "Come on!" Ventus called as he suddenly jumped off the ledge and started flying fast towards the shrill. He stopped though as he noticed something. Fuu wasn't behind him. He looked back, seeing her still standing on the ledge.

That was right...
Just because she was of wind element... that didn't mean she had the power to fly on the wind. He quickly turned around and blasted towards her, grabbing her up and quickly headed back.
Fuu thought it was surreal that Ventus could FLY... but then she realized that he couldn't fly... it was just a strong amount of wind pushing him and keeping him up in the air....

They moved through the cloud to the mountain and landed on the ledge. They both made haste as they ran to the other side and the silverette bumped hard into a blonde. He just... stopped.... but she looked up and could see why.

Blue eyes widened, the refection of the scene showing on them. A large dragon was in mid flight... and something... black was coming towards it.
"What the...?" The woman asked as she watched. The black thing was riding on something....? A.... a keyblade? A keyblader was doing this!?

Yes... a keyblader was doing this... and a chill of horror ran down Ven's spine. He knew... this keyblader.
It was... the Dark Knight...
"Xehanort...."
The Chaser's ultimate enemy...

[Reno]

OOC: I found your pun XDDDDDD
Also... can the Dark Knight talk...?

Dragons were of course... born mostly in fire or in high amounts of heat no matter what magical element they associate with. It was just their way. So naturally fire or concentrated amounts of heat was a good way of sealing wounds.

Sora frowned listening to his brothers speech, breathing in slowly. no pressure right? Heh, that was funny. The moment Ven cvalled forth Aero Maxim, everyone else reacted in kind, weapons appearing in flashes of color and light and flame.

And a call from Seifer told them they were there. the seperations began.

Sora shut his eyes, kissing back. "good luck." He called once the other broke away.

Roxas met Axel half way in the kiss, there eyes shutting for only moments before they broke away. He smiled encouragingly.

Aqua squeezed back, kissing back, "It'll be fine." She murmured, meaning thousands of things at once. She smiled faintly as the other left with Ven, before she struck down with Tsuami, her and Roxas jumping through.

Terra's eyes locked with Ven's, an understanding passing between them. And then the brunette slashed down. Ven jumped away and Terra and Sora did as well.

The ship was again empty except for four people - a small family. The rest had gone... and were desperately trying to save a world.


Demyx slipped down to his shaking knees, gasping for air. too much. He'd used too much energy. He was a far cry from being strong or powerful. and without even his and Sai's knowledge they had been keeping this up for over a half hour.

Even still, this world was his home, these dragons were his obsession and Sai was his love. He's protect it all, even if it killed him. He watched the other as he called forth the pwoerful spell, surprise really. how was he still able to conjure up such strength?

Regole growled angrily, but her thrashings froze as the spell surronded her. She growled lightly, her head turning this way and that. She could still hear roaring from Dart, but Hatchel's land had fallen into silence.

Demyx slowly brought his sitar close against him, stringing chords of the Water Serpant - a song he made up long ago tributed to her. He used to go out to the teethed inlet with Saix all the time to play it for her.

Regole's head turned, suddenly able to hear the song, and despite her pain, made a soft noise, almost like a purr.

"Wow, I think you guys did all the hard work for us!" A voice said from behind.

Demyx smiled, though he didn't stop playing. "Hey Roxy. She's still hurt. You mnd uh... maybe taking care of her?"

Aqua smiled, enthralled too see the water dragon alive - as well as her brother and lover. she could have cried. Though that wound on Regole's side looked horribly nasty. She looked from one to the other, seeing how exhasuted they were though. Saix was gonna be feeling it in the morning. "Okay, we'll take it from here."

"Wait uh how?" Roxas asked, Bond of flames in hand. He wasn't much of a fire magic user - but like his brother before him Sora had taken the shield to protect, Ven had taken the sword for fighting, and Roxas had taken the staff for magic. He could use it.

Aqua held out a hand and Roxas casutiously took it. Then yelped as he was tugged forward. If Ven was still curious to know YES Aqua could walk on water. And like the blonde, she could help other's walk on water.

"Oh wooooow." Roxas said, in a half terrified way as they ran across the water, getting closer and clsoer to the previously rampaging beast.

Aqua let Roxas go. "Stay there!" Roxas blinked, just standing... on wtaer. It was a little unnerving but, he trusted the other to not let him fall and drown or soemthing like that.

Aqua taook off, getting closer to Regole then she had been in years. "Regole!"

The dragon's head turned downward, staring down at the water keyblader. she was one Regole knew quite well - and had recognized her and who she would become many many years ago. The sight of the other calmed her further, knowing she was no longer in danger from anyone.

"Were here to help!" Aqua called up, before swinging her keyblade. A stream of water shot up, circling around the dragon in a sprail, coating around her wound. "Roxas now!"

"Firaga!" The blonde called slamming his keyblade down. fire raced across the ocean, combing with Aqua's water, following the path she had set out for him. The water warmed instantly.

Regole gave a roar, but she didn't move, allowing the water and fire to waft over her. once both had dispersed, the wound was completely sealed, and the blood had been washed off. Cheers erupted from the temple, and Demyx, despite his damaging hands, continued to strum on his sitar.

Regole dived into the water, disappeared for a bit, but further off - back where her real home was - she jumped, giving a roar; and though many probably couldn't tell she was saying thanks to them.

Roxas and Aqua walked back to the beach quickly. Demyx sighed tiredly, his sitar slipped from his burning hands. One crisis avoided. thank god.

Aqua, hearing Terra in her communicator, reached up, fingering her own, "Regole's gonna be alright! Anyone need help?"


The land of the fire region was mostly rocks with a few trees sprarsed around - but most of them had quickly gone into flames - despite the water regions attempts at putting out the flames.

Dart's eyes were almost rabid with fury. His wound was deep and bleeding over the ledge. His abilty to fly was gone. He no longer had the strength to lift himself.

But he still had lots of fire in his gut. His left wing was torn through, and his side riddled with a sharp cut. He beat his right wing furiously each time he roared, shooting out fire in fury.

What the old dragon DIDN'T expect, was a sudden form jumping down onto his back. He roared in fury, head twisting and sharp eyes staring Axel down. His growling lowered however ax he discovered just exactly what Axel was doing. Fire ran down his scales, soothing the pain.

Still he didn't like this man WALKING on him. He gave his body a great shake, knocking Axel off of him, just as the chakram user's fire coaed his wound. Dart gave a roar, but it was more pleasant noise. The wound stopped bleeding, some of it sealing.

Dart gave a growl, feeling more energentic, reaching up and digging his claws into the mountain side, right wing flapping as he climbed to the next ledge. He growled down at the three, but he seemed much more calm.


Terra paused just out of the portal, the place unnerving as he walked into the region of lightning.

"Oof!" Sora said, running into Terra in surprise, not having expected the taller one to stop. He walked around the other curiously. This land was beautiful - made of huge trees and rolling hills full of sparse grass. The houses were made of white corel it seems, with metal rods sticking out of each roof - to attract their dragons electrcity.

However waves were strewn about the town, all looking on in horror. Sora's head turned as did Terra's. near the base of the red mountains was a long, very long dragon. a woman with short blue hair, claws and amber eyes - the berseker of this region - was laying on a ledge of the mountain, as if something had smacked her into it.

Sora's eyes widened and he blinked back tears as he recognized the beast she was looking at. The snake-like animal was the chinese-styled lightning dragon, his scales a bright yet dark purple - a long cut across his back, nearly the whole length of him, seemed to be the cause of his fall. "Hatchel!"

"shit... I think he's dead." Terra whispered.

Both keybladers approached casutiously.

"stay back!" The berserker snapped in warning, getting to her feet. One who had weapons like that had just come and badly wounded her dragon, she was not letting others get near!!

"Please, were here to help!" Sora said.

She growled, crouching low - but just then the head of the dragon moved, and took off from the ground, surprising everyone. The dragon roared, eletrcity sparking across hits body, and shooting for the ground.

"Hatchel wait!!" The girl cried, jumping to the ground and running after him.

"Shit! not dead not dead!" Terra said as he ran across the ground, Sora dashing at his side.

"You think?!" Sora cried.

Hatchel was on his own rampage now. He gave a shrill roar that sounded like thunder coming down, lightning spilling from his body and crashing towards the town below. It burned whatever it touched, little sparks of fire shooting up.

"Get inside!!!" The berseker cried to the townspeople and everyone ran back into their homes, the lightning rods catching the most of the lightning. She rushed after the two keybladers, growling. "And you two, get lost or i'll slit your throats! one of you has already harmed him!"

Terra's eyes narrowed at her words. Then a keyblader was their enemy... "Fuck!" Hatchel was turning, his flying sloppy because of the cut, but too furious to care. He roared, lightning coming down onto the three. There was no way they could escape in time.

"Get down!" Sora cried, grabbing onto the woman and yanking her to the ground with him, just as Terra rasied his keyblade. "BALANCE!"

The lightning, automatically attracted to Terra, crashed onto him. The land keyblader grunted, feeling the powerful eletrcity storm over him, but he had been practicing even since that day against his... father's beasts. the lightning flowed down into the ground safely.

The berseker blinked, confused. "You... why... how?"

Sora grinned. "Told you, were here to help!!" He looked up. "how you feeling Terra."

"I'm fine." The other responded, shaking off the small jitteryness that was shaking over him.

"Good, I need you to give me a lift!!" Sora got to his feet.

Terra looked at Sora silently, raising an eyebrow. "I ain't giving you no fucking piggy back ride, Mr. Huggy."

Sora glared. "Come on!" He yanked the other forward and the two ran across the grass, back towards where the long dragon was just trying to turn around. Terra took the lead, Sora falling several paces behind him. The land keyblader stopped suddenly, holding his keyblade out and down horizontally. Sora, who had still been running jumped, landing on the keyblade, and Terra gave a mighty yank of his arms - Sora shot up into the air.

"Wind!" Sora called, giving himself an extra boost, the air whipping around him, tugging at his clothes and hair. Hatchel was soon eye level. Sora held out his keyblade horizontally. Take the bait...The dragon did, his teeth latching around the blade.

"THUNDAGA!" Sora yelled loudly. electricity flowed from it, circling around the dragon. Hatchel gave a growl, yanking his head up and Sora went flying. the brunette master spun, aiming his keyblade down for the dragon. "THUNDER!" He yelled again, suspended only by his wind spell, white hot electrcity shooting from the tip of the blade. It smashed into the dragon, meshing with the incredibly long and deep wound on the dragon's back. The spell was quick, just like the dragon. His whole body flowed under the spell, the lightning coming down hard and sealed the wound.

Hatchel flowed through the sky a little more naturally, growling a bit and his body twirling in the air before he landed on a faraway mountain top, laying down tiredly to rest.

The berserker stared silently, glancing back. "Uh... thanks!" She cried, before running off to make sure the townpeople were alright.

Sora glided down from the sky, landing hard on his hards and rolling onto the ground, panting a bit. Well, no one ever said sealing a 50-long cut was going to be easy.

Terra silently walked over to the other brunette, holding out a hand and Sora eagerly took it. He reached up fingering his communicator. "Status?" He asked. "Hatchel's fine." A second later he heard Aqua's enthusiastic reply and smiled somewhat.


Freybrand, a brillant green color, was actually the smallest of all the dragons, mostly because his small body helped him move quickly. However it was his WINGS that made him look so large. they were the largest out of the others - those that had wings that it. His orange eyes glanced back and he gave a dissatisfied roar at seeing his disturber following him. He had been sleeping in his forest when the disturbances of the other nearby dragons had awaken him - and now this one was after him.

However, the sky was his right - he manuvered in it perfectly. His body twirlied and with a mighty flap he soared higher.

The Dark Knight was a little baffled. Each dragon fought so different - some less delicately some more ferciously, and some with speed and tricks.

Freybrand spread his wings wide, and then with a powerful flap, a tornado seemed to be borne, crashing into the knight and sending him off balance, shooting him down for the ground below. The dragon roared in triumph, diving suddenly, mouth opening with the intent of biting the enermy in half.

The Dark Knight threw his keyblade suddenly, and it went spinning, slicing into the dragons right wing. Freybrand gave a cry, his flight disrupted, and beat his wings furiously. He stopped his dive, his flight uneven as the hurt wing sent him slightly off balance. Blood trickled down his wing but he didn't fall. Instead he seemed to conjure up some wind that pressed against his rght side, helping to balance him out.

The Dark Knight held out his hand, catching his blade, and hovered on it once more, already calculating his next move.

[Rikugurl]

The waters were split still, the amount of gravity from the moon immense. It was for the music to run through so that the waves could no longer drown them out. If Demyx could calm her, he could get close enough to heal her... but the sound of someone's voice came from behind and before he could look, he saw a blue haired woman and blonde man go over the calm waters.

His eyes widened. "Aqua...?" He continued to control the waters to make them as smooth as possible as they rushed to Regole. The Berserker growled as he saw the fire attack towards the dragon. He knew they were only helping.. but it was frightening to see an attack. When the dragon quickly moved away and Aqua returned, the waters clashed back together and the blue haired man shook. His Berserk like features disappeared as he stumbled to the ground. He panted as his whole body felt like it was going to pass out.


The red Berserker blinked as she watched the wall of fire run down the dragon. How....? She eeped as the dragon started to get up and shake, throwing the redhead off. Axel was a bit nervy as he felt the sharp eyes on him but he had to do this!
"WAAAA!!" He cried as he fell off but was suddenly caught by another man. The dragon walked over them and Axel wrapped his arms around Riku. "My hero~~"

He was suddenly dropped and Axel whimpered. "Hey!" He quickly got up and ran to Riku's side as they all watched the fire dragon go up the mountain. There was still a wound opened and the pyro flamed up his hands once more. He shot fire up towards the dragon but it wasn't long enough... until a sudden gust of wind, full of oxygen pushed at the fire, making it blow out and surrounded the dragon.

Axel blinked and looked, seeing the Berserker had done this. It seemed that Berserkers had the majick that aided the element of their region besides having the element themselves. The moon's gravity helped the tides go in and out, letting oxygen flow down into water for the creatures and planets that lived there.
Oxygen in the air helped fire burn and spread. If there was no oxygen, fire could not exist.

They watched the dragon suddenly fly away and the woman turned to Axel. He face was a bit flushed as she looked at them. "Thank you..."
Axel grinned and nodded. "No problem, little lady!"
She smiled and tilted her head. "So... what's you name?"
"Axel"
"Axel...." She smiled more as she gave him a sweet smile.

Riku blinked at the scene and rolled his eyes, gripping Axel's arm and pulling him away. "Sorry miss but this doof is well taken already."
The woman blinked but waved softly. "Thank you again!"
As they got far enough, Riku pulled at the communicator, not really use to using one before. "Uh... Dart is well and healthy again."


Fuu shook Ven a bit, seeing that he was in some sort of shock. "Xehanort?" She asked. Since she was a Chaser, she had to learn about a man named Master Xehanort. He happened to be the Chaser's top villan, the one who stole all their keyblades a long time ago... and who had frozen Ventus that made everyone believe he was dead...

She heard the the other's come in... the dragons were fine. She took a sigh of relief... but that was when Freybrand was hit. Her eye widened with fear as she watched the black creature hit. She grabbed her communicator about the same time Olette did back at the base.
Both called in unison. "Freybrand has been hit!"

Fuu was a bit baffled at Olette but shook her head. "Terra, we have a big problem. We found the one who is harming the dragons... it's some black creature with a keyblade!" Before she could say much more, Ven was gone from her side and blasted off towards the dragon.
"VEN!" She couldn't follow! She shook her head and picked up the communicator again. "The creature is headed for the next realm, someone had better get up there... and... Terra... Ven went into a daze of shock... something about... Xehanort?"

Ven flew quickly towards the dragon who was flying funny. When he got close enough, he dodged the wings as they flapped and flew under the smaller beast. He held his arms out like he was flying like a bird, making strong winds push up below him. It gave the dragon a lot of extra help.
Blue eyes looked up at the creature flying above him. "Go back to your forest!"


Somewhere very deep into the world, black boots pressed on a crystal floor. Each step, the crystals would turn back. The figure was hunched over a bit as it walked, heading down a large hallway all made of crystal. When he reached the main lobby, silver and crystal chains came from the four sides of the room. They buckled and bended this way and that.

The figure stopped, his bald head reflected the light of the crystals. Golden eyes looked up at the large dragon in front of him, chained down like some ferocious beast. She was a ferocious beast. A white beard shifted as an evil smirk ran over his face. "It wasn't nice for them to lock you away..." A shaky voice came from the older man, a keyblade appearing in one of his hands.

[Reno]

Once Aqua and Roxas' feet met the beach again, the two split. Roxas hurried over to Demyx's side, while Aqua went to Saix's.

Aqua knelt down, wrapping her arms around her exhasuted brother. "I'm sorry we were so late." she murmured.

In her ear she heard Riku's positive. That meant Dart was okay. she looked towards the fire still crackling on the hoirzon and let Saix go. If he was tired, the beserker from the other region probably was too. Aqua walked forward and with a wave of her keyblade and a call of 'water!' sent a stream across the mountains calming the fire quickly. With Dart now relaxed the fire was no longer getting worse.

She turned back to her brother, helping him uo and like Roxas, began to long trek back to the temple where he could rest.

Roxas frowned, looking down at the blonde. "The hell did you do to your hands?"

Demyx grinned tiredly. "Played to hard."

Roxas rolled his eyes. "Smart Demyx, smart." Honestly though, he was surprised the other had it in him. Guess you really can fight when it means something to you. "Cure." he murmured, the magic wafting over the ithers hands. he then clipped Bond of Flames back onto his belt and leant over, carefully grabbing onto a wrist, and throwing it over his shoulder.

"Wha 'bout Sai?" Demyx slurred somewhat, stumbling against the shorter blonde as he was led back to the temple.

"Aqua's got him, don't worry. He's fine." Roxas murmured. By the time he had gotten back to the temple, the townspeople were happy to help the musician back inside, having him lay down near the water to rest while they bandaged the cuts on his hands that Roxas couldn't heal.

The blonde glanced back towards Aqua when the message from Fuu came through. His eyes narrowed, then widened.

Hands all over went to communicators, the calls of 'What?!' streaming through. no it couldn't be. Xehanort... was ALIVE?!


Dart growled as the fire surronded him, lowering his head and shutting his eyes. the cut on his wing sealed up. Once the flames had receded he flapped them and took off from the ledge. He flapped them, almost playfully, circleing above the too before giving a happy growl, flying back for his cave for some much needed rest.


Terra quietly listened to the others but nearly jumped at Fuu's panicked voice. "something about... Xehanort?" His blue eyes widened. "What?!" Beside him he heard Sora echo the cry.

The brunette grit his teeth in fury. "that fucking son of a bitch!"

Sora stood there, shaky and pale. How? Xehanort... he had taken care of his heartless AND nobody. How could he even possibly still be standing?!

Terra cursed a few more times, then put his hand to the communicator again. "Axel, Riku, Roxas, Aqua meet me and Sora in the land region. Ven, Fuujin get that dragon calm and to the spring. Get moving!"

He cut off, slashing down. "Come on." He said to the brunette before jumping through, Sora followed without a word too shocked to think of any.


The Dark Knight, seeing he had done his job, did indeed disappear - already going for the next country. But Freybrand was now one unhappy dragon.

The orange eyes narrowed on Ven and he growled at the other, snapping his jaws at him, not trusting him at all. Could all the ones who wielded those strange painful weapons fly?


Aqua frowned at the report her eyes narrowing in fury. Xehanort... how dare that bastard come back! And to attack her home of all places. She was going to tear him to pieces! "Sorry Sai, we gotta head out." She told her elder brother as she led him to the steps of the temple. Like before the townspeople took him off her hands, leading him over the Demyx. "Take care of them!" She called before turning to Roxas. The blonde's eyes were dim, but furious. "Ready?"

"Yeah."

She slashed a portal and both jumped through.


Kongol was a large, dragon, his scales dark and muddy - but only because he was covered with dirt. If the scales were ever cleaed, he'd gleam a rather pretty golden color. He had no wings.

He slept on the top of a plateau, tail wrapped around his his body securely. But a brown eye iopened when the sound of crucnching sound met his ear. He raised his head, curiously, seeing a dark form before him. He growled.

The Dark Knight walekd forward, keyblade held high.

"I'd fucking stop right there if I were you."

The Dark Knight turned around, seeing six people suddenly behind him, the majority of them holding keyblades, all pointed at him.


The Divine Dragon's eyes strayed to the man who dared enter her lair. she growled furiously at him, blue eyes gleaming. She had eight shimmering wings on her back, four to each side - one to represent each dragon including herself. She was the largest of all the dragon's with a silvery-white body and a large tail that swung behind her, cracking into the crystal wall.

The chains however held her down from doing anything but growling - bark but no bite. At least not yet. Her fellow dragons were being hurt though, and each time another cried out, the chains on her bonds would get so much weaker as she fought them.

[Rikugurl]

Sai closed his eyes as his sister wrapped her arms around him. He looked up slightly but other than that, he couldn't do much. He panted softly as he was slowly helped out and brought to the temple where his townspeople were waiting. He looked at her and nodded. They needed to help the other regions. "Be careful..." He whispered as some men took him and brought him inside by the small pool of water.

They laid him down and women nurtured him. He didn't have a wound like Demyx... it was just hos body that was drained by the energy. Golden eyes looked over, seeing women wrap Demyx's hand up and placed his sitar away safely.


Riku nodded and growled, pointing his keyblade at an opened spot. A black hole appeared and he and the redhead jumped into it quickly.
The woman with amber eyes watched. Who were those people? She looked up at Dart flying happily and smiled. Well.. whoever they were, she had to visit Regole region so see this 'Sai' person...

The silverette and redhead appeared in a calmer land, and looked around to see a two brunettes. "Sora!" The silverette called, running over to them. He scooped the younger into his arms and hugged him. He was ok!
Axel walked over too but stopped as he saw something computerized close by. Aqua and Roxas walked through and Axel did the same to his blonde.

They stopped though as the leader continued to walk through an opening and they quickly followed.

They came out and saw the dragon looking down at a black figure. Axel growled, his chakrams appearing in his hands.
But.... Riku gasped as he he saw the figure. The outfit he was wearing.... was hauntingly familiar. Sora would recognize it too. He growled as he his grip on his keyblade tightened. He wondered... if this person... was just like him a long time ago.


Ven frowned as he heard the dragon snip down at him. He'd have to remember to tell Aqua that these guardians of her world were a pain in the ass. He flew lower and pushed more air up, now pushing the dragon towards the cliff with the large forest.
"Come on you fat ass thing!"

Fuu frowned as the figure disappeared... and then the dragon snapping at her partner. All she could do was just watch... they were too fall away to help push the dragon.... but...
Her chakrams appeared in her hands and she quickly threw them out as far as possible. The wind caught them and pushed them to fly behind the dragon, far enough so his tail wouldn't catch on them.

They were held in the air... and suddenly a large blast of wind blew out at the dragon's butt and pushed him away fast.
Ven's eyes widened as the dragon went soaring away. "HEY!" He quickly flew faster and they made it to the cliff in no time.


The old man kept his hands behind his back calmly as the dragon roared and growled at him. There was no fear in his face as his golden eyes watched her rage, the wings flapping.
"My dear... you're too beautiful to be chained down like this... and your babies are getting hurt."

His golden eyes moved to the chains and his keyblade rose, pointing at the one in the back. A beam shot out, making one of the chains break.

[Reno]

Demyx looked over at Sai and smiled softly. "Looks like I won;t be playing for awhile." He grinned. It had been worth it.


Sora blinked as he was scooped up and laughed lightly, a small blush dusting his cheeks. He sometimes forgot how strong his lover was. "Ri!"

Roxas grinned a bit, his arms wrapped around the redhead. "Hey." He hadn;t been worried. He knew Axel was gonna do fine against a fire dragon. It was his element.

But all mirth stopped as Terra continued forward, Aqua followed after and slowly the two couples seperated and did as well, remembering just how serious this mission was.

Everyone paused as they saw the Dark Knight and Sora gasped as well, eyes widened. Oh he rememebred it alright. It was kinda hard to forget. He looked up at the figure, confused. Did... Xehanort trick him like he did Riku?

Aqua growled, pointed her keyblade at him. "Get the hell away from Kongol you bastard." Well the good enws was she was about to get her wish.

Kongol yawned tiredly, stretching out, then suddenly swung out his tail, hitting the whole party of interlopers who had woken him up. The dragon stood and padded to the other end of the plateau, laying down lazily.


Freybrand blinked and growled again when Ven insulted him.

"OI!" A voice far below yelled, someone running across the ground. "Don't you insult Freybrand like that ya... INSECT!!" It was another beserker, a man. And he didn;t look too happy.

Freybrand blinked when the sudden blast of hair sent him flying. He gave a screech of surprise, wings flapped in panic - but when he saw his lake in the middle of the forest He understood. He flapped his wings before diving towards the water. He glanced back, swacking Ven with his tail for his effort before he fell into the water - which was actually a hot spring - below.

Well no one could say the blonde didn;t desereve it. At least he didn;t hit him incredibly hard - he did sort of owe it to those strange people for bring him home.


The Divine Dragone growled once more, but calmed somewhat as own of her chains broke. He was setting her free...

She flapped her wings furiously, fighting against the other three.

[Rikugurl]

Riku blanked as a very hard thing hit his legs, making him fall backwards. He hit the ground hard as his feet came up from under him and he winced. He quickly stood up, looking around to see where the figure was. However, he didn't see him at all. He growled, his keyblade gripping into his hand tightly.

He stopped though as he felt something below him. He looked down and blinked. Shadows circled around him like it did once ago when his Darkness wasn't tamed.

Axel was hit too, making him go flying into a nearby tree. When his body hit, he let off some fire, making the tree go aflame. He backed up and started to flail, blowing on it like if it was a big candle. Lucky Aqua was with them.


Ven cried as he was suddenly hit and fell under the clouds. Fuu's eye widened but sighed in relief as Ventus suddenly popped up. He flew back to Fuu and winced a bit, looking back at where the forest was. "Insect? That was the best insult he could think of?"

"Ven, we have to hurry, Terra wa--"
"Yea I know." Ven frowned as he made a portal and they quickly jumped in it.

They appeared on a ledge not to far away from the other group... and right next to someone familiar. He pushed his hand to back Fuu up as he pointed Aero Maxim at the black figure. "Where is Xehanort!?"


The old man smirked as she calmed a bit then started to pull at the other chains. His evil appearance only grew darker as another beam shot out, now freeing another chain and her hind legs were free. With a simple and calm slash, he freed the second to last chain. Only one held her down now.


As Saix laid on the ground, he suddenly went into Berserk for no apparent reason. The people around him gasped and backed up. He snarled as he stood, his power coming back to him. Something... bad was going to happen soon.
"Divine..."

[Reno]

The Dark Knight disappeared, the tail missing him.

Terra's eyes narrowed, but the termor from the dragon told him what was coming and he jumped - and then heard the yelps from everyone behind him. He landed, turning around t see what had become his team - and the tail made a second sweep as Kongol got up to relocate, sending the brunette off his feet and into the groaned, dazed.

Sora grimanced as he was smacked rolling onto the ground. "Ow!" He shook his head, getting back to his feet, his head turning and... stared blankly. "R-Riku!!" He ran towards his lover. the darkness...? Why was it coming back and now of all times?!

Roxas yelped falling close by to Axel, rolling. He looked up though when the other started making cries of panic. He stared at the flaming tree dully. "Axel!!!"

Aqua yelped in surprise, her feet skidding backwards. She frowned, having lost sight of the Dark Knight. But a sudden cry nearby made her head turn. she blinked, staring at the flaming tree and rolled her eyes, pointing her keyblade. "Water!" The tree was soaked down, the fire dispersing quickly.


The Dark Knight slowly turned around, facing the blonde. He was a little shocked to know the other was alive, but not worried in the least. He rasied his hands, shrugging his shoulders as if to say 'I don't know.' before holding out his hand. the ground underneath the two shot up. He turned, looking back towards the dragon and slashed down, a slice of energy tearing through the air. Kongol gave a roar of angry as the energy slashed into his hide, blood coating down his side revealing gold scales.

The dragon looked back, growling at the Dark Knight and his tail swung again, crashing into the ledge he was on, but the Dark Knight disappeared.


The Divine Dragon have a roar, flapping her one one last time and the last chain screeched and snapped off all by her own power, swunging across the ground. she flapped her wings and took off for the sky.


The Dark Knight landed on a land covered in flowers and beauty. The region of light. He looked around, and it wasn't hard to spot her. Of course, finding dragons was never very hard.

[Rikugurl]

Riku frowned as he heard his lover's cry and shook his head. This wasn't his Darkness... so who was it? It wasn't evil either.... that reminded him. "He's gone! We should split up again and catch him at the last two." He knew Terra would agree so he just decided to call the shots now.

He looked at Terra and nodded. "Kongol needs sand right. You should help him and Axel can help with the fire to burn it." He looked at Sora and smiled. "You get to Damia with... Roxas. You're both have Light into you.. and she happens to like you a lot."
He looked at Aqua and nodded. "Looks like me and you can get to Zieg."

There weren't any questions asked so Riku formed a dark portal for both him and Aqua and Sora and Roxas. He quickly jumped in with Aqua close behind.

Axel frowned as he saw the dragon in sudden pain now. Where had that blast come from!? He growled as his chakrams disappeared, not wanting to frighten the dragon any. What was the point of all this!? He stopped and frowned, looking back at Terra once they were all alone. "Do you think he'll just keep circling around until we can't keep up?" That was probably one of the smartest thing he had said all day.


Lavenders and other pastel flowers filled a large field. A silver dragon with a long beak and beautiful horns walked through them, not damaging them too much.
Her wings were folded to the side and shifted as she walked, the undercover of them giving her some color.

A woman walked besides the dragon, a flower ring around her head. She had flowers in her hand and stopped a few times to pick up more.
They were no aware of the dark figure behind them.


Aqua and Riku walked into a dark realm. Shadows lurked everywhere and not much light peered in. There was a red glow around the outer land and in the black rocks below them, a purple haze glowed up. The silverette looked around, seeing if he could see any sign of the dragon. He frowned but stopped as he saw a pair of glowing orange eyes in the darkness.


The old man smiled as he watched the dragon fly off through the crystals and into the sky. He walked slowly to where she use to be and looked up through the hole, seeing her fly off. Well... that settled that. He looked down, seeing a single shine different than the crystals. A scale. Slowly he reached down and picked it up, shoving it into a pocket.

He then suddenly... disappeared.


Saix suddenly heard the ground rumbling under him and the people in the temple gasped and looked at the floor. A sudden blast of energy came from the Berserker and pushed out, making people baffle a bit but it pushed through them. The power pushed out of the temple and stopped, a sudden spark going off. A powerful shield surrounded the temple... an ancient power of the Berserkers. His eyes glowed yellow as he roared loudly.

Ashbel in the fire region suddenly heard a roar coming from far away... but she knew what it meant. She looked over at the town made of volcanic rock and ashes and quickly ran into it. "Everyone! Get to the theater! Now!" The people came from their houses and rushed towards a larger building. Once everyone was inside, the same performance happened. The red hair woman berserked and a powerful shield covered the theater. She too suddenly let out a loud roar of her own.

[Reno]

Terra glanced over at the dragon, hearing it roar and growled. Son of a - how did that happen?! He got to his feet, hearing Riku giving the orders and nodded silently agreeing. He would have given the same. Bwesides it wqas probably a good think because he suddenly felt at loss for breath - something had hit Ven.

He and Axel approached the dragon carefully, trying their best to look harmless. "yeah but probably just until the Divine Dragon rises." Terra mumbled to the other's question. His eyes narrowed though.

Kongol ground, swinging his tail down, send the ground breaking and shaking under the two's feet.

Terra slipped a bit, but caught his footing easil. "whoa now Kongol, calm down..." Terra shut his eyes concentrating, sending a small tremor to the dragon - trying to communicate friendliness.

The dragon growled low, lowering his head back to the ground.

Terra grinned, before raising his hands sand covering the wound on the dragon's back, nodding to Axel, giving him the signal to go ahead and use his fire now.


"Saix!!" Demyx cried in panic, hearing the other. his eyes grew worried, unsure of what was happening.


Meanwhile the purple haired female in the lightning region grew panicked, hearing Sai's yell and a very loud angry roar in the distance. She feared it, knowing exactly what was happening. "Everyone into the town hall!!!" Brisa yelled. People ran from their corel houses into the largest building they had, a long rod sticking from the top of it proudly. She jumped onto the top, and the same event happened again. Her roar echoed the other's.


In the land region, the man, named Angelo, who had been watching Freybrand as he swam straightened suddenly, ears twitching as he heard the voices carry on the winds. He looked at the dragon, nodding to her, green hair bopping in the wind. "See ya." He turned and ran off towards the same town made of bamboos and leaves. Eh, they trusted Freybrand not to knock down their houses. "Everyone!" He yelled, brown eyes fading to yellow. "Hurry, to the dance hall!" Like the other's he created the symbols of the ancient art, as he beserkered, roaring in answer.


The land beseker had been running towards the plateau when his feet slid to a stop. He looked up, seeing two people already there - and then a tremor of friendship ran through the ground. they were there to help. One was obviously a land warrior. He didn;t recognize them, but they were helping Kongol and thats what was important. Kongol seemed calm enough.

Nico's head turned though, blonde hair whipped around, feeling strong, anicent magic running through the ground. "Shit!" He looked up. "yo, you two better high tail it!!" He turned, running back for the town with houses made of carved rocks.


The Dark Knight smirked, walking forward, his blade held high.

Sora and Roxas jumped from their portal with a cry, Sora's connected with the Dark Knight's blade, sending the taller backwards. Roxas landed next to Sora.

"stay the hell away from Damia!" Sora snapped angrily, standing proudly. He wasn't going to let this knight hurt her too! He couldn't believe he even had the gull to hurt as many as he had.


Aqua tensed a little then sighed a bit smiled at the orange eyes. It was Zieg. She nudged Riku a bit. The dragon had really grown to like the silverette and his lover, and a dragon never forgets.


The Divine Dragon gave a roar, spreaing her wings and flying fast towards the fire nation first. Dart's head popped out from the cave as the large dragon fly over the land her large tail swinging town and smacking into a few houses.

Dart gave a roar of angry at her, blasting out a stream of fire at her, then flew forward meeting her in the air. The beserkers weren't the only ones who protected the town. The two bumbed heads, flying in the air, and Dart seemed to purr - trying to communicate something to her.

The Divine Dragon growled lowly, before her wings beat and she flew off heading for the water region.


Demyx and many of the other towenspeople gasped in fear seeing the large dragon flying over head, and she gave a growl of fury, looking down at the town.

Regole gave another keening cry blasting water in a stream through the air. The dragon rasied her head, looking towards the ocean and flying out to meet the water serpant a simlar scene taking place - before she was gone again, flying for the lightning country.


Brisa looked up her eyes wide as the dragon fleew overhead. But Hatchel had seemed to be expecting her. The lightning dragon, though weary, flew from his mountain and flew in a spiral around her... shocking her? What...? Was he PLAYING with her?

the Divine Dragon growled, snapping her teeth at Hatchel. The purple dragon gave a rumble, like a laugh and their forehaeds connected. It was almost like... Hatchel was telling her everything was alright.

The Divine Dragon growled lightly but flew off for the wind country.


Angelo's breaths came in short pants as the large dragon came into sight. Whoa... she was a beautiful dragon - for someone who was about to KILL them.

Freybrand looked up, seeing the larger dragon and gave a happy shrill, flying from the water - wing healed once more. The two met in the sky the eccentric flying showing off by doing a little flip. He gave another shrill, sounding like a songbird before their heads connected.


The land keyblader glanced back, seeing the beserker running back for town. He, like nico, had felt the tremor of magic but hadn;t understood it, nor did he understand what the other was doing. "Keep going." He had told Axel, watching the other burn at the sand.

Terra watched as Axel burned away the wound. Kongol laid his head on the ground, purring happily. Once the other was done, the sand fell away, revealing a cured wound and bright gold scales. Terra smiled faintly. He was a pretty dragon once you cleaned him up.

Kongol's head rasied suddenly.

Something whistling in the wind made Terra look up, terror overcoming his features. "Oh shit..." He grabbed onto Axel's arm yanking him backwards, slowly taking several steps away from Kongol as fast as possible.

The Divine Dragon flew overhead before flying down to the plateau. Kongol swung his tail in greeting, not even bothering to get up. The larger dragon approached him, bumping heads with him and Kongol seemed to purr in response.

The divine Dragon growled lowly, then her head turned, staring straight at Terra and Axel.

"Oh fuck." Terra muttered.

[Rikugurl]

Axel nodded in response. He lit his hands on fire and suddenly pointed them to the sand, blowing off the hot element. It sizzled the sand and made it melt, running down the wound. He heard Terra to keep going as a man called up but nodded. Soon the sand had stopped and golden scales shown out to them. How pretty!


Ashbel closed her eyes as she heard Dark roar and start to fly. She didn't know if this power would save the people from instant death. A myth had gone around about the Divine Dragon being unleashed thousands of years ago and the ancient Berserkers used this spell to keep the ancestors of Dragoon alive... but were the current Berserkers as strong?

She opened her eyes slowly as she heard the dragons song and glanced out the window that was close. The large dragon was leaving? She slowly let the power seem back into her, making her stumble a bit. A glowing red symbol pressed onto the theater floor and soon faded away.


Saix's eyes continued to glow as the people looked out the window of temple to look at what was going on. He snarled as he heard Regole and soon the large dragon was gone. His shield too seeped back into him as he fell to his knees. He blinked as he saw a red symbol under him... feeling the warmth of it. It was the Fire Berserker... Dart's realm was safe.

A blue symbol appeared over the red... and soon faded.


Damia stopped walking and looked back, her eyes quickly becoming sharp as she saw the people behind her. She remembered one... a boy full of Light. He had grown now... but she could never forget. Next to him was someone very familiar too... but she knew she never met him...

She turned and snarled, the man in black, red and purple giving off an evil vibe. She reared on her hind legs and gave out a screech.
That was when Fulgencia felt something below her. She looked down, seeing a symbol of the ancients. Her eyes glowed blue as the flowers dropped. She narrowed her eyes through white, long hair but quickly ran from Damia's side to the town made of white birch trees. It was a symbol to let her know that the realm by her was safe... but from what??


Riku blinked as he was nudged. He swallowed but walked slowly towards the deep purple dragon who was hiding in the shadows. Through the orange eyes, Zieg could see Riku for what he really was. Broken horns were atop his head, almost hidden in silver hair as amber eyes glowed. Riku had once become a dragon... and Zieg could see that very clearly.

He puffed out his chest as Riku grew closer, trying to make himself look bigger than he really was. The silverette smiled slightly, slowly reaching up and was about to touch the dragon's snout when he heard something.

"Don't touch him."
Riku looked over to see.... a little boy? He had black hair with bright purple eyes.


Before Axel could do anything, he was almost tugged off his long legs and pulled back. "He......yyyyyyyyyyyyy" His green eyes widened as he looked up at the huge dragon. It was the BIGGEST thing he had ever seen. Almost as big as the Twilight Thorn if not bigger. His mouth gapped as he was pulled back more.

When the dragon looked their way, he thought he was gonna have a heart attack. They were dead. So dead!
He started to flail and looked around panicked. DAMNIT! He wanted to be close to Roxas when he died... but all was there was Terra. FINE ENOUGH!

He suddenly took the land keyblader, clasping his hands on the other's cheek... and gave him a big kiss on the lips.

[Reno]

Brica fell to her knees as the Divine Dragon left, breathing unsteadily. what... had just happened? Hatchel cried happily overhead, flying back to his mountain. she smiled slightly then looked down, a red then blue symbol appearing. Dart and Regole's realm where safe. she smiled, and a purple symbol appeared before faded.


Angelo watched as Freybrand shrilled overhead, the song pretty as his... mom left. he was doing somersaults and little twirls. He was back to normal. Angelo sighed, slipping to his knees, three previous symbols from the other nations going under him. His claws and teeth receded, a green symbol adding to the mix.


Roxas felt Oblivion and Oathkeeper appear. Sora heard Damia cry from behind him, her shadow falling over both of them.

The Dark Knight watched all three, walking forward slowly. Roxas growled, running forward suddenly. "Bring it on you son of a-" The blonde was cut off suddenly as the ground under him shot up.

"Rox?!" Sora cried, his brother suddenly just... gone. He grimanced, hearing something smack into the trees further away. Sora grit his teeth, rushing forward suddenly, swinging Ultima at the Dark Knight. The two keyblades rang in the meadow as the swng at each other again and again. Sora swung high, for the other's head and the Dark Knight suddenly ducked. The brunette blinked, confused, then gave a sharp cry as the keyblade swung into his stomach. The keyblade was flung backwards smacking and rolling into the ground, blood coating the meadow. The brunette grunted, getting up, a hand pressed against his stomach. "Stop!" He cried.

The Dark Knight was already charging forward, swinging mightily at Damia.


Aqua blinked in surprise, glancing back at the boy. Her eyes grew sad. He was rather young - but they were born beserkers after all. "Your... the beserker of the dark realm?"


Terra's eyes were wide - but if even possibly they got even wider as Axel suddenly brought him in for a kiss. Oh great, first Ventus now him. what the fuckl was Axel trying to do - kiss the whole Chaser crew?

Terra's arms swung up and down, but when the other tried to get him tougne in his mouth, thats when it became too much. he placed his hands on Axel's chest, shoving him off. "Axel what the FUCK?!" He rubbed his mouth viciously, spitting onto the ground. "YOU'RE FUCKING DERANGED!!!"

Axel was looking up at him, panic all over his face. For a moment, Terra wondered if maybe he had grown fangs or something - when he felt hot air ghosting over his shoulders. Terra slowly turned his head, terror spreading across his features as his eyes met snarling teeth. "Oh... fuck."

The Divine Dragon moved her head, smacking Terra backwards and he went sailing down the left side of her body with a cry, landing under her third wing. She swung them up, then down hard. Terra gave a screech, lifting his keyblade but it was no use. He was hit - and suddenly he was gone.

The Divine Dragon growled, pacing over towards Axel, until he was under the first wing on her right side. She swung her wings again - and no matter what Axel did he was taken away as well, if by some great force - disappearing from sight.

The Divine Dragon growled, flapping her wings, taking for the air again.

Nico stared in panic, but once she was gone he slowly turned back to normal, four symbols appearing under him. A golden one added the fifth.


Terra grunted as he hit the ground. He winced, his eyes opened slowly. He looked around, slowly tanding up. He looked down, frowning a bit. He was standing on a platform of some kind... strange ancient kanji written on it and glowing gold. He looked up and around - seeing seven others all circling around a crystalized room. In the center was some sort of a stand a small gem sitting atop it. He frowned, then heard a loud, unmanly cry. his head turned seeing Axel as he... fell onto the red platform.

Well at least he was alive. now Terra could kill him. "YOU BASTARD!" Terra yelled keyblade appearing and he jumped across the four platforms that seperated him from the other, pointed his keyblade down at him. "what was the meaning of that?!!?"

[Rikugurl]

Damia roared as she saw what had happened to Roxas... and then Sora. No one got hurt in her realm... NO one! Her sweet nature suddenly turned fierce in an instant, her sharp eyes on the man in black. As he dashed towards her, she turned around, her long tail whipping at the figure... but it didn't hit anything.

There was a sudden cry as blood splattered into the air and onto the flowers. The silver dragon fell to the ground, her breathing harsh as a long cut ran down her neck. Her blue and silver wings fell to the ground and the figure disappeared. In the distance, a white shield surrounded a school.


Axel's eyes went wide as he saw large eyes behind Terra... and then he was gone. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" He screamed as he started to run away quickly, but obviously the huge beast picked him up quickly and he vanished as well.

"MOOOOOOOOOOOOMMY!!" A womanly scream echoed through the realm as he fell onto something hard. He winced as he stood, seeing the red underneath him. He sighed a bit and rolled over only to see a keyblade in his face. He opened and closed his mouth, trying to say something but nothing came out. He scurried backwards as the keyblade just followed him. "I-I-I-I.... just wanted a kiss before I died!"

He panted a bit as he got to his feet and looked around. "Heh... so.... I wonder where we are."


Riku turned to the boy. He couldn't of been older than seven.
The boy glared at the woman then stuck his chest out proudly. "That's right. What's it to you?"
Riku frowned as he shook his head. "The dragons are in trouble... have you seen anyone around here wearing black?"

The boy crossed his arms and tapped his foot on the black ground. HE was wearing black.
Riku blinked, realizing how stupid that question was to ask in the Dark realm.
"Well... uh.... he's wearing black with a bright red on his chest."
The boy's purple eyes shifted as he looked beyond Riku. "Like him?"

Riku blinked and looked back to see... the Dark Knight and a sudden loud roar from afar.

[Reno]

The Dark Knight disappeared from the flinging tail. He came from above slashing down fiercely, catching the dragon and soon she fell to the ground.

Sora gave a cry of horror. the Dark Knight had left. there was only one dragon left to attack. The brunette grimanced, running across the ground hurriedly. "No! Damia!" Tears filled his eyes, seeing the horrible cut on her neck. Aqua said she needed the sun... but there was no way he could urge her to fly.

Or a flare attack...

But he didn't know how to use it. Donald did but never taught him.

Sora panted, his mind running in circles, before he pressed his hands on the cut, his eyes shutting tight, tears streaming down his face. He wouldn't let her die! "Light!" Light could burn too. His whole form was covered in light, his hands burning along the cut as he poured as much energy into it as he could. "Your gonna be okay. I swear it!"

Roxas, covering in cuts and bruises from falling through the trees, stumbled out of the forest, holding his arm against himself tightly. It hurt pretty badly - he had landed on it. Though not broken. He looked up, seeing a sight that made his eyes grow sad. Damia was laying on the ground, Sora desperately trying to heal her.

Roxas limped over to the walking around slowly. He went to the other end of the cut pointing Oathkeeper at it, light spreading from the tip, the energy colliding with the wound, attempting to seal it. It was as close to the sun as Damia was gonna get at this point.

The two didn;t stop, even as a larger beast flew overhead, circling and landed behind them in the meadow.


Terra scoffed satisfied when the other ran awya from him. "fucking coward. don;t EVER do that again." At the other's question he blinked and looked around. "Who knows. There were no doors to the room... how strange. but the cieling was open. now if only they could fly.

But what got him the most was all the crystals surronding them. "The crystal palace i'm guessing. That Dragon;s home. Guess we;re dinner." He said, grinning sadistically. "i'll tell her to eat you first!"


Aqua rasied her hands, indicating she didn;t mean a thing by it. As Riku started to inquire about the Dark Knight, her eyes wandered across him. But when he pointed her head turned sharply. "OI!" She cried.

The Dark Knight was above Zieg. Standing right atop him!! His keyblade came down, biting into the dragon's back.

[Rikugurl]

Damia whimpered as her body swayed on the grass, the blood coming from her cut was staining the flowers. Her tail rose and patted back to the ground. She couldn't get up...

Her eyes moved to see Sora. Her first instinct told her to growl... but when she felt the sudden warmth on her scales, she started to purr softly. It wasn't flare... nor was it the sun... but it was close enough. Slowly her wound started to heal as Roxas put Oathkeeper closer.
Suddenly she heard something though, her tail rising again and came back down. Her eyes moved to see another dragon that she hadn't seen for a very long time...


The boy's eyes widened as he saw the man sudden crash atop Zieg. "NOO!!" The little boy suddenly berserked, it being more odd looking since he was so young. He quickly ran to the dragon and man... but before he could slash down at the black figure... he was gone. He landed behind Zieg, who had now fallen. His purpled eyes looked down, seeing the bright red blood glow.
"Zieg!"

Suddenly, he stopped, hearing a roar. His body tensed. It was Fulgencia.... He looked at the two with desperate eyes before dashing off to the town in black.

Riku watched in horror but before he could dash at the knight, the little boy already was on it. When the child sudden ran away, he frowned. What kind of guardian runs away like that.... well... he was just a kid... He quickly ran towards the fallen dragon and knelt down besides it.
"He needs to go back to his cave. There's a healing spring there"

He quickly looked around, his eyes only seeing black. How were they going to find a cave when everything was black!? He looked up at Aqua who was now by his side. "Where's the cave!?"
The thing that worried him the most... was that Zieg was hardly moving... He only whimpered softly a few times before he became silent.


Axel growled as he crossed his hands. "I don't think I want to do that again." He rolled his eyes and turned his back away. What a lousy kiss... I'm glad it wasn't my last. He blinked though as he heard Terra. He looked back, his eyes widened with horror. "Wha-what!? No way! Don't tell her that! I'm too old! She wouldn't want to eat me first!"

He started to panic again and almost wanted another kiss... when his panic tensed even more.
A laugh echoed through the crystals and towards them. Axel's green eyes moved as red hair shifted to look behind him.

He looked at an old man that was hunched over a bit. He was bald with a white beard. His eyes were a golden, a golden that he recognized Terra and Ven having at some point. He was wearing a black cape like jacket, a red underneath. A long white shirt was underneath and fitted under with black pants. His hands were behind him as he looked up at the two.
I don't remember Aqua stating anything about some old man living in the crystal castle... Axel tilted his head... not even realizing how much deep shit they were in.

Golden eyes moved to the brunette. A smirk arose.
"I see not even a cage can hold you back..... by the way... how is Ventus?" He chuckled before suddenly disappearing.
