The Chasers: Darkness' Fold

[Reno]

Terra chuckled, rolling his eyes at the other's statement. Well SOMEone had to be the bad guy - might as well be him.
He blinked at the question, opening his mouth to answer but got no chance - heh, Ven really was sick of his voice.
However at the next statemenet his brows furrowed in confusion. "Darling there's a lot of hims out there. You gottas be more specific." When the blonde did elaborate, his eyes darkened a little. Sora? "So... is that bad? Maybe he;s watching over us?"


Aqua looked up at the others words and smiled. "I hope so..." She brushed her lips across the other's smiling softly. "You know sometimes I wonder what the hell I would of done without you here to straighten me out." She murmrued softly, reaching out to clasp their hands together.


Seifer smiled at her words, nodding slowly. "Yeah... I am too." He was proud - yet worried. His kdis were strong... but when the time came for them to face Rave... would it be enough?
Sons and daughters were supposed to bury mothers and fathers - not the other way around.


Roxas was silent as he wrapped his arms around the other bringing his lean yet much taller form against him, Axel's body sprawling across his lap. He ran his fingers through the fiery hair not saying anything. There was nothing he could say to make the other feel better - all he could do was just sit here and offer what comfort he could.
He still... couldn't believe Xio was gone though. It was so hard to take in.
"What are these?" Roxas asked, looking at the rascally cups by the likes of what he had never seen.
"Why THESE sir are grade A Moombas! Lights your fires and your stoves for you, and always great fun for the kids."
Roxas rasied an eyebrow, looking down at the litter and reached his hand down. The pups all shied away - all except one. That one stepped forth bravely, sniffling at his hand, before yipping kindly, licking at his fingers. The blonde grinned, picking up the creature. "I'll take him." This was the perfect gift for Axel!

Roxas brushed the hyper pup down, laughing some. "Come here little guy! You're going to be Axel's first christmas gift! Gotta have you looking sharp." He laughed, brushing the other down, before tying a ribbon with a note attached around the moomba's neck.

"Hey Roxas come down here! Xio brought us a surprise!"
"If it's another dead bird I don't wanna see it!"
"It's not! COME ON hurry!" The excitable red-head practically squealed.
Roxas slowly walked down the steps - only to have his eyes widen at the litter of moomba cubs batting each other around in front of the fire - the proud father sitting nearby.

"Hey, Hey, Xio." Roxas said, clicking his tongue. The moomba rasied his head as Roxas moved off the bed. The lion knew what to do, getting up and laying in Roxas' spot without any complaint. The blonde grinned, petting the other atop the head. "thanks buddy."


Lucina was just about to lay down when she heard the sound of the knock and Bonnies soft voice. She blinked before straightened and walking over opening the door. "Yeah I'm awake. Is something wrong?"


Tensai leaned against the other - but at his question he bowed his head. "Yeah... I meant it." He murmured softly. "But... even if I left Roxel there's nothing else I could do... I can't read nor write english so i'm y'know kinda screwed when it comes to finding a job."


Kadaj glanced at the sword as well, tilting his head. It was just a weapon wha-
Suddenly a sharp movement out of the corner of his eye made him tense, hand shooting out to catch the brunette's. His eyes narrowed as he looked up at the other...
Abruptly he was yanked up and before he could even issue protest... warm lips danced across his own. His green eyes went wide and he just paused there, letting the other.
So... this was a kiss.

[Rikugurl]

Ven's face went dull as he heard the 'darling' part. He wished he could of SEEN Terra say that. He'd have to tell Aqua later.
He frowned though as he shook his head.
"I think he meant Sora..."
He turned and looked at Terra, shaking his head more as Terra started. "I... I don't think it's a bad thing. Personally... I haven't seen Sora in a long time..."

For anyone BUT Terra, they would of given Ven a very odd look. NO ONE had seen Sora in a long time... but Ven had told Terra about that... place where it was nothing but white and there was a hymn.
He even wondered if Tensai would understand it if he heard it.


Fuu smiled as she kissed back, holding onto the woman's hand. "Probably be the same as your are now... only a bit more bitchy." She joked as she nuzzled the other's nose. "I wonder if I'd still be only saying one word..."


Axel was leaned down, his head rested on one of Roxas's thighs. He held his arms close to him, the warmth of the fire never being lost.
His eyes burned from the heat, his tears leaving his eyes dry. So he closed them sighing uneasily in his lover's arms.
"I... want him back, Rox...."
He choked out softly.


The mix tilted her head, looking in at the room and seeing Samael sleeping in his bed. She frowned and looked back at Lucina. She was silent for a moment before shaking her head. "I've been thinking..." She started. "Terra said we all got to work together, right?" She nudged over to Samael's direction. "What about 'im?" It wasn't a rude or mean jester... but a concerned one, odd coming from Bonnie.

"You think his parents will be in Traverse? I don't think it's safe for lil' Sammy to stay with us."


Roxel sighed as he listened to his friend.
"Well... maybe we can start that band! Yea! You don't need to know how to read music to play!" His face grew happy again as he bounced his butt on the bed. "How does that sound Ten-chan!?"


Gunnar kept his lips on the silverette's for a few moments before slowly moving away.
This was.... odder than he imagined. Kissing the same man that saved your live more than 15 years ago.... and he still looked the same...
He blinked softly, his mako eyes looking at the other's again. "Well... I never got to say thank you..." He said softly before leaning in again, trying it once more, this time without the hesitation.

[Reno]

He quirked a smile, shrugging a bit. "Well maybe he don't wanna talk to you anymore." He teased with a grin. he didn't think it was too odd for Ven to see the dead - seeing he WAS already dead.
"Well... Xio and Invidia died - maybe he was leading them to... well where dead things go." He said.


Aqua giggled. That was probably true. "I sure hope not. Because you've got a beautiful voice."


"I know Axel... I know." Roxas whispered softly. "I do too." If he could... he would do anything to bring the moomba back - but thats just not how life worked.


Lucina glanced back at the woman's words, frowning some when she saw the sleeping child. She honestly... had no answers for that. he thought quietly for a moment then sighed. "If his parents are in Traverse, then that'd be great... but until we can find his home maybe... maybe he should just stay on the ship during missions from now on." Sammy would only get in the way if they had to protect him all the time...


Tensai smiled suddenly. "Yeah we can give it a shot." He said softly, looking at the other. "And we'll be in all the papers too!"


Kadaj blinked as the other pulled away, his expression one of confusion. He heard the other talking but didn't really understand it - only felt the lips pressing back onto his, more insistent then the last time.
To Terra and Ven, kissing was like a fight. To Aqua and Fuujin it was a comfort. To Seifer and Olette it was a show of love. To Axel and Roxas it was a necessity.
To Kadaj... it was just weird. But maybe he was just doing it wrong. Everyone else who was someone else seemed to like it... maybe he was supposed to do something...
He shut his eyes, trying to remember what he had seen over the short times of watching people, and slowly he inched forward, his lips pressing back. Ah, this wasn't so hard.

[Rikugurl]

Ven nodded and smiled. "I'm sure he'll take good care of him... I bet Axel would like to know... I'll have to tell him in the morning."
Knowing Axel, he would be somewhere on the ship with Roxas... and he didn't want to disturb their time alone...

Besides... he was exhausted.
He yawned as he turned around and gave Terra a big bear hug, pulling him down on the bed playfully. He nuzzled the other's neck and smile. "You know... I never thought you were scary..." He teased before closing his eyes and sighing happily. "Night.... daaaarling."


The silverette blushed and chuckled, kissing Aqua's neck softly. "I love you..."


Axel sighed as he slowly got up, his tall body slowly reaching his height. He sighed and looked down, holding a hand out to Roxas. "He wasn't suppose to go like this..." He said softly, feeling Roxas's hand in his own as he brought him up.


Bonnie nodded as she looked at Samael one last time then looked at Lucina. "How bout you love? How are you feeling?" She knew Luci had stuck up, taking the blame for everything. It was a natural thing to do as a leader... but she just wanted to make sure the woman was alright. She had a lot of compassion for her.


Roxel smiled and nodded. "Yea! Tensai and Roxel, the awesome duo of the Connection!" He giggled as he hugged Tensai closer. "We'll be famous... and get a lot of girls drooling all over us... and we can sign autographs and.... it will be much more fun!"


Seifer would kill him if he knew he was doing this.
So wouldn't Luci.
For god sakes, he was twenty one... he could kiss whoever he fucking felt like. And having your first kiss at the age of twenty one was kind of lame.

His eyes opened slightly when he felt the other press on his and swallowed. It...it wasn't so bad.
But now what?
"AND LET ME REMIND ALL OF YOU! If you decided to start dating someone or whatever, if you kiss that person, you better fucking MEAN it!"
"Will you shut the fuck up already!?"
He could hear Terra's lecture to Tensai when they were going through the birds and the bees teaching.

He closed his eyes again, his fingers clenching onto the edge of the bed as he slowly opened his mouth and ran his tongue over the other's lips.

[Reno]

Terra smiled as he was lain onto bed, chuckling at the tight squeeze. At the others words though his smile only grew. "Good night.... hooooney." He teased right back. There was the sound of a flip being switched... and then they were shrouded in darkness.


Aqua smiled, kissing her softly. "I love you too." She cuddled closer. "We should sleep... tommorrow is going to be a long day." She didn't know just how much though.


Roxas' eyes darkened with sadness. He nodded slowly. "I know Axel..." He leaned up, brushing his lips across the other's. "Come on babe... let's get to bed."


Lucina blinked at the question before smiling softly, looking at the ground. "I'm scared Bon." she admitted. "Rave... She terrifies me. She... she just might rip us all to shreds."


"Uhh...." Tensai laughed suddenly, feeling a bit nervous of the idea of girls climbing over each other to see him. "Then you'll have to sign all mine for me." He joked.


Kadaj was just started to get comfortable - when something wet slithered against his lips. The hell...?
"Nnngh Roxas..." Axel groaned as they leaned against the pantry door. The blonde shut him up with a kiss and Kadaj tilted his head, seeing something pink dancing between the two. The... tongue?
Suddenly Roxas caught sight of him blushing bright red. "What the hell are you staring at?!"
"Uhhh..." Kadaj blinked before turning and walking from the room.
Right... now this was going from weird to gross.
But he'd play along. Because this was good study too. He opened his mouth wide, feeling the wet muscle slip past his lips and rub against his own tongue, and a shudder worked down his spine. Well that... that felt good.
He didn't hesitate any longer, brushing his own tongue back against Gunnar's.

[Rikugurl]

"You're an idiot." The blonde chuckled before nuzzling the other. He gave him a soft kiss before getting comfy in the other's arms. He wrapped his arms around the other, closing his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Fuu nodded, smiling and leaning down. A soft kiss was placed on the blue haired woman's lips. The silverette leaned in close and brought Aqua into a warm cuddle before closing her eyes. "Night love."

Axel sighed but nodded, kissing back faintly. Slowly they walked up the stairs to the living quarters. Axel opened their door and they silently walked into the room. Axel winced, looking around and wondering where Xio was. He was usually on their bed waiting...
His eyes started to water again as he let Roxas's hand go and started to get dressed. He sighed, getting into the king size bed that just seemed so much bigger without the lion at the foot.

He snuggled in next to Roxas, a shaky sigh escaping his lips as he wrapped his arms tightly around his husband.


Amber eyes widened a bit and a long ear went crooked. She watched Lucina look down as she started to speak softly.
A frown came over the mixed woman as she looked down too. That was right... Rave and her brother were the ones who caused all those ships to crash... including her and her parent's home.
Why those awful children picked her world... she would never know.

Long nails wrapped around the leader's shoulders.
"Lucina..." When her eyes met the other's, she grew a stern yet meaningful look. "It's alright to be afraid... but just remember... we're all here to help. We're all here to cry... laugh... and to be scared together. At least.... if we don't make it, we can always say we tried.... together."

She smiled softly and nodded.
"I know it must be hard being a leader... but you really have the heart for it. No matter what happens in the future, no matter where we're taken or what we must do to get there... you'll always be my leader."
She pulled her hand away and blinked slowly.
"I hope that makes you feel better. Get some rest."
She turned, walking back to her room. She waved the back of her palm at Luci. "Cheers, love."


"WHAT!? NO way!" Roxel smiled more, feeling the sadness slowly pull off his shoulder as he leaned on Tensai more. "Just because you can't read or write English, don't mean you can't sign your name... in another language!" He giggled as he suddenly rolled over the black haired boy and laid on his lap.

Green and blue eyes looked up at him, a lazy hand reaching up and playing with the other's hair. "People will think we're so cool... our concerts will all sell out... and we can have all the...." The boy's eyes started to grow heavy as his voice started to draw away. "sea-salt.... ice.....cream...."
Soft breathing started to come from the blonde-redhead as his arm wrapped around the other's neck as Roxel fell asleep.


There was a slight pause and Gunnar's eyes opened a but, seeing the hesitation. He was about to pull his tongue back in and just leave it at that... but suddenly the other's lips parted and he was pulled in. His eyes shut tightly as he felt the hot sensation of the other's mouth... and muscle.
There was even more hesitation but suddenly a battle started to rage.

So this... was what it was like.




In the middle of the night, everyone was sleeping soundly as the computers in both ships whirled.

Ven was snoring faintly as his fingers twitched on Terra's side, hardly feeling the room become horribly cold.


The sound of a pair of shoes echoed through the cold lab. One, after the other. They suddenly stopped for a few moments before continuing again, becoming louder and louder on each step. The sound stopped again as a figure came up to familiar bars.
Suddenly a sound of key jingled as the figured pulled out a ring of them, swirling it on its finger.

Yellow eyes peered through the darkness, looking at the wolf inside. Pink hair outlined the darkness, giving the figure a slim face.
"Wolfy, wolfy, we meet again
This time though, you're up in chains.[/b]
The keys stopped as the figure looked around, running their other hands on the bars, seeing all the digs and cuts in them.
"Looks like you can't get through
Too bad, I can help, but I'm not here for you."[/b][/color][/color]

[Reno]

Terra rolled his eyes as the other fell asleep, chuckling softly. "You're a regular romantic, aren't you Ven?" He brushed his lips across the other's softly impulsively. "G'night dickweed." He murmured before his own eyes dropped and he fell fast asleep.

Aqua smiled faintly at the brush of lips. "Night babe." She answered, the two comfortably snuggling closer.

Roxas watched the other quietly - already having gotten into his clothes before looking for Axel. He laid down, waiting for him - and was unsurprised when the solemn redhead practically crushed him with his arms. He ran his hand through the others hair softly, humming some soft songs quietly, helping to lull the red-head to sleep.
The minute the other had slipped away into his dreams, Roxas brushed away tears and snuggled closer, his own eyes falling shut.


Lucina blinked as the arms circled around her in what could of been considered a half-hug. she looked up, listening to the other quietly, and slowly a smile grew on her face. She watched the other woman head away and chuckled softly. "Thanks Bonnie." she caleld softly. "Good night."
Her heart feeling a little lighter she retreated back to her room - she was right. Even if they did fail... or even died... they would try their damnest. Because that was what a Chaser did. They gave it their all - 110 percent all the time... and saved as many people as she could.
She wandered over to her bed, laying back down. her mind whirling. She had a feeling that battle... would be closer then she wanted it to be.


Tensai laughed, then yelped softly as he was pulled down on the bed. He chuckled softly as the dual-colored haired boy's excitement slowly started to leave him, drifting off to sleep in the middle of his sentence. That was so like him - never could finish anything.
The boy shifted, getting a little more comfortable alongside the other because he had a feeling he wouldn't be moving from this spot until morning...
Though he didn't really mind.
He slowly drifted off as well, shifting a little and not even hearing as the pictures Roxel had carefully seperated slipping off the bedsides and fluttering to the ground. Happy faces were seen, playful animals and happy families - being covered again and again by more picture.
The one that landed on top was one shot by Olette - unbeknowst to the takees. They were on Costa Del Sol - just young kids. Roxel was lounging ontop of Xio a wide grin on his face. His dad, roxas was leaning over, holding out a blue ice cream towards him, a smile spread on his face. Axel at the edge, holding up three more.
Tensai was off to the other side of the picture a frisbee in his hands, Moxley in mid-jump for it and Invidia nearby, watching them closely. Further back Ven was walking towards them, Terra right behind them with smiles on their faces - and there index and middle figners were holding onto each other.


Kadaj slowly drew one of his arms around the back of the brunette's head, figners tangling into brown hair as they kissed. He had a feeling they were not going to be getting to sleep anytime soon.



Terra however, felt the cold sweep over the room and inside him, chilling his heart. He shuddered, curling around the blonde at his side.


Inside the lab that smelled sterilzed and clean, a wolves eyes opened and raised its head at the sound of footsteps. It was not Terra's however - too light to be his. And it could not be Ven's, because the blonde had never dared venture into this world.
He sniffed, catching the scent instantly. His lips pulled back at the scent of the darkness that had nearly corrupted him over a decade again and stood. He snarled as the girl came into view, his tail held proud despite his predicament.
At her words though he grinned. "There is nothing in here for you - except DEATH" The wolf roared suddenly, charging for her and smashing into the bars of the cage, his claws scratching for her.

[Rikugurl]

Bonnie had gotten back into bed, feeling a slight breeze before she pulled the covers over her and laid her head down slowly so her ear could adjust.
She didn't want to wake up with her ears all bent. That had been embarrassing.
She took a deep sigh before turning off her lamp, looking out to easily see Namine sleeping.

Maybe... she was being a bit too harsh...
Shaking her head slightly against the pillow, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.


As the coldness took over the two ships, most of Gen two was sleeping... except for two.
Luckily, they had sound proof walls too.
In the room Lucina was sleeping in, bright purple eyes opened, glowing in the darkness.

Samael sat in bed, his glowing eyes looking around, feeling the frost... and almost seeing it on the vents. He wrapped his arms around himself as he frowned.
Something was coming.

Roxel cuddled up to Tensai more, shivering as he blindly reached back and pulled the blankets over them. He yawned before finding a warm spot in Tensai next to nuzzle his face into.


When the wolf smashed into the bars, the girl didn't flinch at all... but only giggled, her razor sharp teeth gleaming at him.
"My, my, aren't you cute?
Too back you shared a fruit.
Dealing your lover all around,
It is you who will bring him down.
But time is wasting, I must be quick
Arise my dear brother, and you to the control stick."[/i][/color]

Rave threw the chain of keys in the air, better seen by the light. It was revealed that all those small keys were actually keyblades and when they fell, she pinched one of them in her sleeve.
No matter that the wolves paws nabbed her, it went through her as if she was but a shadow.

The key was pushed into the keyhole but instead of locking it, a poison of Darkness ran through the other side. The Darkness ran down the bars and onto the floor, making it a muddy color of pink. It swirled around, climbing up the walls and tables, wrapping itself around everything in the cage. It dove deep into the the Darkness that was already steady and searched from something red.[/color]

[Reno]

Lucina shuddered in her bed, her breath misting out in front of her. She mumbled drawing the blankets closer around her as she shook.

"Nnn..." Tensai mumbled, shivering against his friend. He stirred somewhat in bed, feeling the cold. The other shifted against him drawing the blankets close and he sighed, settlign aaginst the other once more, easily falling back to sleep.


The wolf snarled, backing away. He snarled again, slamming his body hard against the bars, hearing them shake loudly. He growled, pacing back and forth, his eyes narrowing. He snarled at her words, unsure of what was happening. Terra will you just snooze by while our life is being overrun?!
The wolf however gave a loud yelp as the darkness started to spread around - covering the lab like nothing he'd ever seen before. He gave a bark of pain, jumping onto one of the tables, but the darkness only followed him there, and dipped further into the darkness already residing in Terra's heart. The balance Ven nearly died to create was slowly being overturned.


Terra jerked somewhat on the bed, turning over and away from Ven, groaning as pain shot through him.


A fist swung towards the pink-haired women, blue eyes abalaze. "What the fucking hell are you doing here?!" One alter-ego in his head was enough god-damn it all!
A snarl drew his attention however as he glanced within the cage, and his eyes widened to see his wolfen side and the world within rotting once more.

A hand reached out from the darkness spreading across youthful features, then suddenly clenched down. Streams shot up, not unlike what had happened in Lincintia, and turned into chains. The wolf gave a yelp of shock, feeling them wrap around his middle and the table, bringing him down harshly. He howleed in rage - only to have another wrap around his muzzle and slam his head into the table, dazing him.
Terra's eyes went wide, speechless as the darkness streamed through the bars of the cage for him as well.

[Rikugurl]

Samael blinked as he looked over, seeing the woman's breath show. So... it wasn't just him?
He slowly got out of bed, his small feet hitting the cold floor. Quickly he tip-toed to Lucina's bed and climbed in under the covers. His arms wrapped around her waist as he moved close to her. The cold still peeked in here and there, but his shaking had stopped.


The fist went right through the girl and she looked, seeing the other side of Terra. A giggle was sent out and she shook her head.
"Temper, temper
Do you have canine distemper?
I am not full, what you see is just a bit
Now your mind wants to let loose, so just do it."
Her eyes narrowed as chains suddenly wrapped around the man.

She giggled again and looked back, seeing the pink muck continue to swallow everything up, claiming it like it was hers.
"I possessed that man, it wasn't very hard
I suppose it's easy, once they let down their guard.
Now it's happening to you, oh what a shame
The Terra they once knew shall not be so tame."

She suddenly jumped, grabbing a hold one of the dim lights and flipped up, pressing her feet against the ceiling as she ripped the fixture out. A black hole was made as the light crashed onto the floor soundly and she suddenly turned int a cloud of Darkness.
The form flew up into the hole and disappeared.

Up and up it went into the darkness until it found what it was looking for.
Terra's brain.
Yellow eyes gleamed as it slowly wrapped around the odd looking thing, seeping into the crevices.


Ears went up as something loud was heard from above. Blue eyes looked up as a golden wolf walked over to the hole that was in the middle of the sky.
The eyes widened in shock as suddenly the wall that the keyblade had made... crashed down.
Once again the Darkness poured into his world, burning it away.

[Reno]

Lucina hummed softly, leaning closer to the sudden warmth, stirring somewhat. she looked at the boy dazedly, blinked. "Sam...?" She reached her hand out, grimancing as it hit cold air, before wrapping her arms around the boy bringing him closer. "Maybe the central air broke."


Terra gave a cry as he was tied, struggling against the dark chains, hearing them clattering noisily. He tipped over, archig his body, crying out in fury and pain as the darkness burned at his skin. He heard Rave's words, sending more fury through him, and he watched her disappear through the ceiling.

W-What.... what was she...?

Even though he was stuck in his own inner world he felt something invading his head - a fuzzy, dark feeling overcoming him. And it felt odd... like an alien presence, not the familar almost natural change that overtook him as he and the wolf shared their body.
"NO GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HEAD!!" Terra yelled towards the ceiling.

Cry, cry all you want Terra,
But this... this is the end of your era.

His head twisted around, his stomach knotting up with aprehension as something slowly climbed from the pool of darkness. A jagged blue shirt, baggy black pants, the heartless emblem, glowing yellow eyes, and a shock of familar red hair that sent his heart plummeting.
Rant grinned, walking through the poisoning darkness with ease. He reached out, gripping onto the bars and slamming the cage open. He gripped onto Terra's collar, bringing the other up and grinning in his face.

Last time you ate me alive,
The darkness consumed yet you did survive,
But now you are old and frail,
You heart will fail.
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Revenge is so sweet,
And your body a delicious treat!
Goodbye, I must retreat,
For this will be the last time we shall meet.

The heartless threw Terra into the gave with his wolfen side, relishing in his cry of pain as the liquid darkness covered his body. Rant, with a wave of his hand, slammed the gates closed, and then he jumped through the hole his dear sister had made, chasing her all the wya to Terra's brain.

Terra cried out, hearing the wolf howling in rage above him. Together, they did the only thing they could think of. The screamed for their mate. "VEEEEN!!!!"


Terra eyes snapped open his eyes and discontenting yellow. He snarled softly, slowly sitting up, disregarding the body beside him. He stood, disregarding that he was wearing nothing but his sleep pants as he walked from the room, the door shutting behind him. He stared around, smirking as he started to read the memory of where things were. He turned to the left and headed up the strais to the second level, easily sneaking into the empty pilot lounge.
His eyes narrowed at the controls, hovering there as if indecisive, before he turned and walked to the deployment dock, opening the door. Spread before him was the small, protected halwlay that connected it to the second ship. He walked across and into the smaller ship's lounge.
He turned around, entering in a code that only Terra knew that overrode everything in the ship - and suddenly the two ships jerked as they disconnected, their respective ramps curling up and back against the deployement doors securely.
He turned around and went to work, plotting a new course for Balder.


Seifer shifted in bed - for once his sensitiveity to the ships movements a plus. He sat up, confused and befuddled, before quickly stepping out of bed. "Shit!" He snapped loudly, feeling how cold it was. What the fuck?!
He snapped up his coat, throwing it over his shoulders as he rushed down the hallway for the lounge.

[Rikugurl]

The golden wolf howled in fright but stopped as he heard the cries of his mate...s.
He looked up, seeing the lab being flooded with Darkness. he looked back, seeing the pup sleeping not too far away as the Darkness rotted the light in this world.

The blue eyes went back to the hole in the sky... but there was no way... he could do anything to stop the flood from down here...


Samael cuddled close to her, his shining purple eyes looking around the room. Sighing softly, he laid down with Luci and closed his eyes... but not for every long as he suddenly felt a jerk in the ship, making him shift in bed with Lucina.
What... was that?


Olette shot up, her eyes wide open as her husband shouted. "Eh.... what is...." Her husband was up and out of the room. "....it." She frowned as she slowly got up, grabbing her robe. Did something happen to the boiler?


Ven also shot up, his body sweating badly as he looked around in panic. Terra was gone.
"TERRA!" He called out, but there was no answer... and the ship suddenly jerked.
"TERRA! TEEEEEEEERAAAAAA!"
Fingers gripped onto his blonde hair as he felt his insides start to burn.

He suddenly fell out of the bed, the pain getting worse by the second. It felt like someone had poured acid down his throat... and was burning his body from the inside out.
Wincing, he dragged himself across the floor and slammed his hand on the button, opening it.
"TERRA!!"

This was when... he didn't want soundproof rooms.

He pulled himself up thanks to the fire extinguisher and held onto the walls with one hand, the other holding onto is stomach.
"TERRA!"
"What's going on!?"
A voice suddenly called back and he looked up, yellow eyes blazing.
Olette rushed over when Ventus suddenly fell to the ground, his body shaking violently as black foam started to spew from his mouth.

Olette screamed and rushed off, slamming her palm into the emergency alarm.

Axel's eyes shot open as he sat up, looking around. A light and alarm went off above their door, the whole room in a dim red.

Fujin cried as the alarm suddenly woke her up, her body shaking from the rude awakening. As fast as she could, she grabbed an ove shirt and opened the door, looking out.
"What the fu---VEN!"


Long ears twitched as the ship jerked and amber eyes slowly opened. A lazy moan filled the room as odd shaped feet were put int high heels. They clicked as she walked to the bed besides her and shook the sleeping woman.
"Namine... Namine wake up."
"Huh?"
"The ship is changing course..."
"I don't want the blue lollipop..."
".........."

The small chatter of the heels walked to the door and opened in, Bonnie walking out as the door closed behind her.
"Wait! The ship is changing course?" Namine blinked as she sat up in bed... but Bonnie was gone.

The curious and worried brunette walked down the hallway. "Love...? Love is that you?" She asked as she turned the corner only to stop, her mouth opening in shock.
"Terra...? What are you doing...?"
Her ears started to fall down to her head as she walked towards him carefully.

[Reno]

Terra smirked hearing the voice of the woman behind him as he shfited the course of the ship. they were in Connection 4 - and this body would bee a wide field span to fight with.
With the nowledge in his head, he plotted on the course, before answering, his voice strange, almost... alien to hear. He spoke with a tone of teasing - one rare to hear from the serious brunette. "My anger will return years from now
That is not a warning but a vow."
He turned, his eyes locking onto Bonnies. They weren't sparkling blue - or even the dangerous amber of the wolf. They were bright yellow, like a heartless. He grinned at her darkly, the mallet appearing in his hand.
"See you on the world bunny,
But only if you survive, isn't that funny?"
He turned, and like Terra himself had done to Sora and Riku years ago he rasied the mallet and smashed it down onto the controls. Sparks rose and alarms screamed. Then Terra opened and portal and jumped through, leaving the kids to deal with the mess.


Seifer rushed into the lounge - just when he heard a scream come from his wife. "Olette?!" He cried, but then beepings from the control panel drew his attention and his ehart slammed in his throat as he saw madday signals coming from the other ship. He aused, before rushing over, hitting the communication buttons. "Lucina?! Gunnar?!" He heard nothing but static and sparks. "Somebody respond!!"


Roxas shot up in bed as the alarm went off and he looked around frantically. "W-What the?!" He looked at Axel, panic in his eyes before he jumped from the bed. He rushed to the door, opening it, fear making him look down. he heard Fuujin's cry though. Ven... no.

Aqua heard the alarm too, jumping out of her skin. Fuujin however was quicker - but what her wife cried made her heart stop. She jumped up and rushed over, glancing down the way. At the sight of her best friend she quickly rushed down the hall and too his side. Her eyes were paniced. She dropped to her knees, pulling the man on his side so he wouldn't choke.
Why wasn't Terra here?!
She could see the black foam at his lips though and her eyes widened. "SHIT!" Now missing one leader, and the other in the middle of a seizure, she looked frantically for the cause - and her answer came to the ice in the vents. Rave... She looked down the hallways, seeing the others coming down to see what was going on. "GET DRESSED!" she yelled over the alarms. "Hurry!! RAVE'S HERE."


Lucina felt the jerk as well and her eyes narrowed. that... was not a good sign. She sat up cursing and threw on some clothes quickly - making sure to keep her back to the boy still in bed. In thirty seconds max she was completely dressed and rushing down the hallway. As she msade her way to the lounge everything was bathed in the red of emergency lights, alarms blaring - but not because someone had pressed the button. No they were in a life-threatening situation here.
What she saw... was unsettling. Bonnie was staring with wide eyes at something and, when she stopped next to her she only caught a glimpse of her uncle jumping through a portal. the darkness cleared... revealing the destroyed panel behind it. "Oh... shit!" She snapped, and rushed for the controls.


Tensai snapped awake at the noise and he looked around frantically. He shivered, feeling roxel do the same. What was going on?! On his bed Moxley had made a home their, but the fox-lion was on his feet, barking and yipping with panic.


Kadaj winced at the ringing, his green eyes staring around at the lights that were too bright for him to like and his ears rang with the sounds of the bells. Fuck was it loud!

[Rikugurl]

When the brunette turned, Bonnie's face went into more shock. Her ears flatted down onto her head as she took a step back.
For once in her life... she had forgotten her gun... but there was no way she could... shoot Terra.
Her eyes only widened as she heard the voice... and that verse.
She had remembered it when she was younger when their home was destroyed and they went to aid the Chaser's crashing ship.

And to her shock... another ship was going to crash.
Theirs.
As the man smashed the controls, all she could to as grip her hair and screamed in horror. Her mind went into shock as she saw the computer spark and sizzle. Terra making a portal and jumping through it.

She came out of shock though when she felt someone by her side and looked, seeing Lucina rush to the controls.
She suddenly rushed over, pulling off her nightgown and started fanning off the controls. She really didn't care if all she was in was her bra and underwear at this moment in time.
"T-t-terra.... s-something happened to Terra!" She called over the chaos to her leader.

Samael had followed Lucina out and rushed to down the hallway, seeing a door next to him open. He stopped where Bonnie had been standing and watched the controls spark and hearing the sirens go off.

Roxel cried out as he fell off the bed but quickly untangled himself from the blanket and got up. He raced to the door and opened it, seeing Samael running pass. He stuck his head out, seeing the boy rush towards the controls. "What happened!?" He called but got no answer.
He looked back and motioned Tensai to come over as he rushed out, seeing Namine rushing down the hallway too.

Another set of mako eyes opened as the sudden sirens and red lights went off. He moaned and winced, slowly getting up. The sweat in his body had seemed to freeze, making small crystals. He brushed them off and frowned, looking around. He slowly got up, trying not to fall over as pain shot through him. He grabbed his boxers and pulled them on, limping to the door and opening it.
Something was wrong with the controls... he could feel the ship moving..

He limped down the hallway as fast as he could, wincing and swearing under his breath. When he reached the others, he pushed them out of the way to see a half naked rabbit woman and his sister working in the controls.
"What the fuck happened!?"


Olette shivered in fear before rushing over to Seifer, looking up at the monitors that were stationed in Balder's control room... but they were nothing but static.
She rushed to the nearest window and cried. "BALDER! IT'S FLYING AWAY!"

Fuu watched in horror as black acid came from Ven's mouth, burning the steel it hit. He suddenly turned heels and rushed back into their room, quickly throwing on clothes.

Axel rushed out with Roxas, his eyes widening as he saw his brother-in-law on the ground... having a violent seizure. The orders were snapped and both him and Roxas rushed back to the room, getting dressed. Anger and hate boiled in his blood as he pulled over his shirt.
Rave...


More and more Darkness pooled into the vast meadow below, burning the flowers with no remorse. The bright green grass burned, turning brown, then black as the blue sky above started to turn grey.
The golden wolf turned and did the only thing he could do.
Run.
His legs pushed as fast as they could go, seeing out the phantom pup... but it had disappeared.

Panic was all you could see in the blue eyes. How far could he run... until he would hit the edge?
He looked back, only to see the darkness burn after him.

Ven continued to shake in Aqua's arms, the black foam pouring from his mouth and sizzling as it met the floor.
His eyes were pushed to the back of his head... but it was hardly noticed seeing that his eyes were being consumed by a yellow glow.
"T----te-----t-t----ter------"

[Reno]

OOC: Guess you decided who topped XDDD

Lucina grit her teeth as she heard the words. "fuck." She whispered.

The five-year-old girl peeked into the room ucnertainly, seeing the sight of the man who, only weeks ago, had looked like a monster.
"If something like that... happens again - where I seem to lose control..." Terra started. "You two need to be aware that... that I'll have to be killed."
"Terra!" Her mother cried. "We could never do that!"
The brunette just shook his head. "You HAVE to."
"And... what about Ven?" Her father murmured.
"... Ven knows." The brunette whispered. "And has agreed with me."
Lucina felt tears welling in her eyes but she shook her head.

Tensai didn't pause to jump out of bed, and hurry after rushing down the hallway and up the stairs to the lounge. As he was he heard heavy footsteps just behind him and glanced back see two pairs of gloweing green eyes rushing after only in their boxers. Funny... he always though Kadaj and Gunnar wore more than that during sleep.

They all came to the pilot lounge, seeing the destroyed control panel and the women frantically trying to gain some sort of balance to the ship.
Lucina suddenly let loose a string of explicatives that would make Terra and Ven proud, before dropping to her knees, tucking under the wheel and finding a blue button. she pressed it. The majority of the controls went down. She struggled back into her spot, now on complete manual pilot. She gripped the wheel pulling back on it hard. The ship jerked as it followed her commands, steadying out, but she knew she had nothing else to ensure a safe landing. All the controls were down.

She shot a look to Bonnie. "Forget it!" She cried, knowing the fire wasn;t going to go out. She glanced back, seeing everyone looking at her dumbly. "What is with those fucking looks?! Get down there get fucking dressed. Get your weapons, everything! YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. HURRY! Someone get my guns and ammunition!" The team, at a loss for words turned and listened to her command, dashing down the stairs at top speed. Well except gunnar who she noticed had a weird limp - had he gotten more hurt in the last fight then she had realized?
"AND MY RIBBON!!"


"It's not flying away!" Seifer corrected. "It's crashing!!" He snapped into the mainframe of Balder's ship - seeing the damage it had taken. And something in blue made him curious. the last coordinates punched in.
He copied it quickly into Freyr, turning the ship to following Balder's descent down. But there landing would not be as rough.

Roxas felt panicked as he rushed back to his room with Axel, the sight of his brother clear in his mind. His fingers shook as he threw on his shirt, gritting his teeth. The minutes his pants and shoes were pulled back on he was racing back down the hall to Aqua's side. "Ven!! Ventus!"

"Come on Ven come on snap out of it!" Aqua pleaded with her best friend, hearing the words attempted to slip past his lips. Ter... Terra. God where the fuck was he when she needed him?!
She looked up as Roxas came to the other side of Ven;s body, looking at his shaking brother in panic.
The identical blonde grit his teeth, Oathkeeper appeared in his hands. He placed the blade flat against the other's shaking body. "Light!!" The keyblades magic spread from the blade and into the other's body and inner world. He didn't know how much aid it would give... But he had to do something.


Up above Terra was screaming, jerking around on the metal floor of the lab as the darkness continued to tide around him like the ocean. The chains rattled loudly but did not relent as he tried to break them apart. Up above the wolf had gone eerily silent. nothing could be done for his world any longer.
However down below, just as the golden wolf was looking back, a stream of white light shot up, and the darkness crashed into it, holding it back. It wouldn't last forever - but hopefully it wouldn't need to.


Meanwhile back on Balder Luci's mind was racing with a plan as she pulled the wheel as far back as it would go. Balder was a similar ship to Freyr yes - but it was still unlike to it in a big way. because of the ships extra level, the fuel and gas areas were protected - theres were not. If they hit the ground the back of the ship just might explode. That would be... bad.

She heard fast footsteps coming back up the stairs and glanced back, seeing them all come back one by one. Samael ran to her side, unafraid of the nearby fire as he handed her her things. "Thanks." She said, raising her leg to curl around the control and hold the ship up as far as it would go. She took her holesters, strapping them around her waist. she quickly took her hip bag with her ammo and tied it up as well.
She snatched up her ribbon as well. "Alright Sam step back." she ordered. She placed the cloth in her mouth and then reached in her hip bag grabbing her switchblade. she swung it open, neatly cutting off the seatbelt to the pilot's seat and tied the steering wheel up with it before tying the other end to the arm of the chair. She sighed moving away. that would... have to be the best she could do. "EVERYONE get to the deployment door!" She ordered. "Except you Ten come over here!" They scrambled over one another to follow her orders while she grabbed Ten and pulled him down beside her behind the chair.

Gravity overtook the ship as they entered the atmosphere of the world Terra had coursed then out. Despite the steering's placement the ship continued to tip. Lucina cursed falling against the seat of the chair, Tensai next to her. The others cried out (or yipped out in Moxley's case), falling against each other and the safty of the wall nearby the controls of the ship.
"Ten!" Lucina said, her breath coming in quick pants as the ship continuing to tip and descend at an alarming rate. "When I give the order, I need you to stop this ship. Can you do it?!"
Tensai looked at her for a moment, shocked at the question. He was scared to a degree - but seeing how confident the woman seemed, as if she knew everything was going to be alright, his heart calmed some. He thought over her order, before nodding with assurance. "Yeah!!"
"How long?!"
"Uh... maybe a minute!"
"Good!" She looked over the top of the boys head at were everyone was, taking their placements in quietly. This was going to have to be quick. "Gunnar! At my call open the door hatch alright?!" She called, since he was closed. "Everyone we're going to jump!" She got some panicked looks. "Ten will freeze the ship. the minute the doors open you jump no questions! Kadaj, jump with Sammy! Roxel, you'll have to jump with Moxley! Everyone else JUST JUMP. The minute your on the ground, RUN LIKE HELL!Ten get ready!"
The boy only nodded, summoning Faber Horologia. Lucina struggled with the slant of the ship and raised her head over the edge of the chair, seeing them breaking through clouds. Her eyes forrowed, seeing what they were aiming for. A big... very very big crater. And in the back of her mind, for a reason she couldn't describe, she was worrying about Bonnie and her damn high heels, despite the fact she was well... a bunny and jumping should be natural.
She watched, seeing the land coming closer and closer. Her heart pounded in her ears. Her fingers clenched around the chair. Then, she realized something. They were headed just over the rim of the crater. She cursed.
Then, she made the call. "TEN NOW!"
The metal of the ship gave way under the power of a keyblade;s impalement. "STOP!" Pale blue light crossed the metal of the ground, crawled up the walls, froze the roaring flames - and for a minute everyone breathed easy as peace seemed to overtake the choatic scene.
"GUNNAR!" The door was open and the brunette was the first to slip out. Then, with his hands wrapped securely around little Samael, Kadaj followed, both landed on the ground several feet below withe ase before taking off. Namine was next, followed by Bonne and Roxel, panicky Moxley with his claws dug in around his shoulders for balance.
Lucina reached out grabbing Tensai's arm and dragging him up, racing across the controls and the wall before reaching the hole and together they jumped, her green ribbon fluttering between their hands.
The clock keyblade disappeared the minute they touched the ground and the ship continued it's descent. It smacked hard behind them and Lucina and Tensai stumbled before falling over. Balder slid along the edge of the rim before falling down the side of the mountain, creating quite a racket as it smacked into ice and trees, an explosion ringing out - the gas tank. It hit the bottom of the mountain only seconds later, smacking into an icy fissure and falling further down were it hit an icy river below - breaking through effortelessly and being submerged.
