Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Dawn : Port Royal : Gallows]

Dawn blinked a little at the portal that Louis had created to speak to her. Her only response was a nod. She looked like she was about to say something but was interrupted by the voices of Zexion's clones. As her natural love for angelic beings, she lost her attention for a moment as she started to stare at them.


"Huh?" Dawn said as her attention came back to reality thanks to Joe's voice, "Oh right!"

Dawn quickly stood up from her hiding spot on the roof. She took aim at the rope, and threw her fans. One of them went half way through, as the second finished the job.

[Axel: Hooks Ship> Corridor of Darkness]

So he wanted her, now he didn't, man this guy is fickle, does he treat all his women ike this? And all because she was a bit of a handfull. pfff, not even Larxene was this unpredictable, and that was saying something.

"Alright then, four to leave." he grinned upon Dani's arrival," You know the drill;" he lifted his hand and once again the hole in space opened behind him again, leading into a swurlling shadowy path that disappeared out of sight. " Keep your hands and weapons were you cand see them, no rushing no puhing, no open flames when inside, and follow the person infront until we're out. We understand you can choose other ways of transport such as Sckitso Kidnappers & Slashers Inc, and we thankyou for choosing Fury of Dancing Flames Transports."

With a final glance to Cory, Axel have a mocking salute before turning and entering the portal first.
It seemed Alan had everything undert control, Kyle was watching his back and Seymour was still there incase things got hairy.
He had noticed the cowardly pirate keeping his head low beforehe stepped off the smooth wodden floor and into the corridoor.. Good choice.

"Please take your time- there's no rush, I'll open up the other side in the mean time." he called from inside, knowing Cory had yet to voice his answer.

[Dawn : Port Royal : Gallows]



Dawn blinked looking up at the voice as the boy started to fall in front of her. The wind user quickly summoned back her Tessen and swept her fans to create a cushioning wind underneath him. After he landed in front of her, she dismissed the fan in her left hand and touched his shoulder gently.

"Don't worry, we are going to get you out of here," she said to him gently.

Dawn then dismissed her second tessen and tried to remove the shackles around his ankles. She figured she'd give him a chance to so he could at least run with them, but they wouldn't budge.

"Crap, they are locked," she said not just to the boy, but to the others in the rescue party.

[ Kyle ; Sora : Port Royal : Train Clearing ]

"They're back!"

Sora had been sitting on the top of the Engine Car, waiting for some sign of the goings on. Luckily, the Corridor of Darkness directly in front of the train was a good sign; one of the prisoners (Jacob) was tossed through the portal, with shackles still on his ankles and wrists. Summoning his Keyblade, Sora jumped down and with two quick flashes of light, unlocked the shackles, freeing Jacob.

"Heya! I'm Sora!" he said with a cheerful grin as Kyle came over, his own weapon being summoned in a flash of light.

"Is everyone alright?" Kyle immediately asked, looking from Jacob to the portal- they'd be here within seconds, right?

[Dawn : Port Royal : Gallows -> Train Clearing]

Dawn looked up at Zexion as he yanked the boy away and into the portal. She glanced at him then at Joe as he was still running up after them. Her eyes drifted to Louis afterwords as he too was far off. She soon looked at Zexion.

"Don't take too long," she mumbled before she walked through the portal.

Upon landing on the other side she moved away from the portal and stood over near Jacob.

"Everyone is coming," Dawn said, figuring the question was soon coming from either Kyle or Sora, figured she'd answer it first as she watched the gate, waiting for the others.

Wow. Now that was definitely a rescue mission.

Everything was over so fast that Sayrike didn't have a chance to react. She also didn't want to interfere, not wanting to get in the way. But, after it was all over, she felt...useless. Kind of empty. As if she just missed out on something incredible. It made her sad, and she knew that for at least a few hours she would feel regret. But she wasn't the type of person to dwell in that sort of emotion, and so she accepted the feeling for now with the knowing it would pass. But what to do now?

Saryike almost jumped when one of those triplets appeared behind her, but like usual she was able to keep her surprise inside. Hmm, he seemed so vaguely familiar...but Sayrike was terrible with names and faces, so she wasn't surprised she didn't remember. After listening to his words, she thought for a moment. Turning her head slightly so as not to give away his position behind the column, she answered, "From Earth? Isn't everyone from Earth? All the people here are from Earth, you know. Are you...not from Earth?" Her eyes widened. Whether a dream or death, this adventure was increasingly intriguing. "At any rate, of course I can't stay here. It's not like I'm left with much of a choice, is it?" she half-smiled, slightly bitter. Security was going to be extra tight after this little fiasco, and suspicions would run high of anyone unfamiliar, so Sayrike would have been probably forced to join one of the incoming ships, which would have been tough considering her gender. She didn't think they would be hanging anyone soon, but she also didn't want to continue to sleep in trees.

Sayrike played with the fabric of her dress, the rough cotton scratching against her skin. She was willing to admit that these clean clothes felt better than the dirty ones she was wearing earlier. She sighed. If only her solar surfer hadn't broken, and only if she hadn't crashed in a place with archaic technology. Alas, what else was there to do? They didn't seem too bad of a group, although it would be very different living with other people. She would have to get used to that all over again. It wasn't something she entirely savored--the initial awkwardness, the small talk, the polite smiles and tactful laughter--but, she also knew it would be over soon enough. The cosplay thing might take a little to get used to, but she would come to accept that too.

Deciding, Sayrike turned around and moved to start walking back. "Well, like I said, there's really not much of a choice. Sure, I'll come with you guys. It's really nice of you to offer. I don't know how you got here so fast, but you all seem to leave just as quickly, so you'll have to give me a few minutes to make it back into the clearing. I've got to pick something up there anyway."

[[Louis : Port Royal : Gallows -> Forest -> Clearing]]


Louis stayed underneath the gallows for a moment, waiting till he was sure Joe would be safely evacuated. Then, just as quickly as he'd come, he left via a black portal. However, his portal did not return directly home, instead, he suddenly found himself in the wrong place entirely. "Wait... huh? How did I-"

Louis stopped suddenly feeling an immense pressure in the back of his mind making it hard to even concentrate on his words. After a second or two holding it back, he released, allowing the force to enter his head and take shape.

"It's about time I had a chance to pull you away from those fools."

"Mateus? What's the meaning of thi-"

"Silence! We don't have time for your pathetic objections. I have a message to deliver."

"You? Acting as an errand boy? That's amusing. Who could get you... the great Mateus to do their bidding?"

Ignoring the boy's sarcastic jabs, Mateus continued, "When you sent me away the last time, and I made my appearance to those fools on the other quest, I ran into that guado."

"Measter Seymour?"

"Yes, who else would be worth my time mentioning? He thought it important that you be informed that Cory, is no longer working under his control and acting on his own. You are treat him as an enemy, and share nothing about our plans to him."

"I never acknowledged his existence to begin with when we HAD to be around each other. This won't change that."

"Also, we have a new comrade in arms. An old acquaintance of mine, Chaos."

"Chaos? How did he escape the abyss?"

"That doesn't matter. The Measter also seems to be acting, as we are, like an ally to the earthlings. If we make any further moves on the other group, we'll need to be careful becuase he'll fire on us all the same, as will Chaos. We'll need to step more carefully from here on out."

"I understand."

"Good, now, hurry up and rejoin the other earthlings. I will not be interfering like this again. Consider this your one and only favor."

With nothing more to say, Mateus' presence faded like a mist in the wind, retreating to the back of his mind till it was like a speck of dust. Louis put up his mental barriers just in case, cutting off the flow of Mateus' power to him entirely just as before, So... Kyle isn't the only other host... and now that other is working with me... interesting.

With nothing more remaining to keep him in the wilderness, he opened a second portal and jumped through soon to emerge on the other side amongst the others in the clearing.
