Welcome to Gaia! ::

{James : Train : Sleeping Car -> Towards Tortuga}

James smiled and nodded his head. He could tell that what little sleep she had gotten, had done some good. However, she was nowhere near as rested as she could be. He turned and headed out of the car, towards the Stable Car, the closest exit for the train.

"We'll see, I think there is some trouble brewing though..." He said, knowing that she would follow him.

He continued as fast as he could, into the stable car and down the ramp. Big mistake... he was forced to lock his knees into the ground and place his hand on his hat so it didn't get blown away. Definitely a disadvantage of being a light weight, the wind could literally blow you off your feet if it were strong enough, and this definitely was. He watched as Joe sped off into the distance apparently after Kyle.

"Dang it... I'm not even going to make it there unless I dash..." James said, his attention turning to Noelle. "Go meet up with the group, see you guys when you get there."

He then turned his attention back towards the valley, focusing energy into his legs and pushed off the ground. This was the first time Noelle would see his new Dash as he launched forward in a semi-blurred movement fifteen feet. He repeated the process, continuing on the way to Tortuga.

[ Kyle : Isle of Tortuga : Port ]

Kyle heard the roar, immediately turning to face the being in front of him. It was as Kyle feared- this was not Chaos, but an Avatar, a host-body, much like himself, like Mateus. The man seemed about the same height as Kyle, possibly a bit bulkier.

The question is... is he an Earthling, too?

As Chaos charged him, the namesake's four blades following behind him, Kyle threw out two quickly-summoned Starlight spheres, one after the other. The first quickly exploded, but not violently; the bright Holy light had exploded into a large cloud of Cosmic Dust, blocking any view Chaos may have had of Kyle. The second, shortly after, exploded in a violent Solar Flare, sending explosive Holy energy into the Cosmic Dust cloud.

However, Kyle knew full well that wouldn't hold long, especially with the winds as fast as they were. Immediately, Kyle Vaulted into the air and over Chaos, hoping to get behind the Scion of the Sky. He was still glowing somewhat, his Temple of God enchantment keeping his strength up for the inevitable assault. Still, the healthier Kyle could stay, the better.

"Why seek revenge?! You're free now, aren't you?!" Kyle shouted as he leapt. "Or are you too blinded by Darkness to think for yourself?!"

[ Kuja ; Sora ; Zexion : Outside Train ]

"Hey- WHY DOES EVERYONE DO THAT?!" Sora shouted, still not immediately assuming there was any danger. It was just a windstorm, after all. Yet, they seemed to be so certain- he frowned. Was he that oblivious? What was going on?

Nodding to Louis and the others, he rushed out of the car, driven by Haste, and caught up to Jenny. Joe was just a bit ahead (having not been Hasted), and James was slowly catching up with his Dash ability (which Sora oddly remembered from his Wisdom Form).

Shortly behind them, Kuja was flying, his feet completely off the ground as he glided; six Holy spheres were blurring around him, also boost by the Haste spell. And there, catching up with annoying ease, was Zexion, holding a copy of Cory's rev-blade.

"We'll get there in no time!" he shouted over the roaring winds, Keyblade in hand.

[Dawn : Port Royal : Stable Car -> Towards Tortuga]

Dawn looked over at Sky as Noelle spoke, it was actually not a bad idea. The wind user quickly ran over towards the chocobo's stable and saddled him up as well.

"I swear, if you bite me or try to buck me off in any way shape or form I'll make you live to regret it you, silly bird!" she said to her bird who she had known for less than 12 hours had already made itself a reputation for causing trouble for her.

Sky let out a loud kweh, as she got lead him out of his cage and onto the ramp. After she mounted the bird she turned to Noelle.

"Let's go!"

With those words she nudged the bird on ahead, she had to put both hands on the reigns for a few moments, this was her first time in years that she had ever rode a horse like creature. It took some getting used to. After she got comfortable with the speed she summoned a tessen to her left hand and waved it in front of her, a wind formed in front of her. The wind formed a bubble around the two girls that protected them from the force of wind that Dawn had created.

She kept her eyes forward as she continued to run after the others who had already started to the eye of the storm.

[ Kyle : Isle of Tortuga : Port ]

Good God, are they -all- this stupid? Your form would be made of magic-

.:Don't even think about it!:.

I wasn't!

Well, not seriously anyway.

Kyle immediately Vaulted, once again, out of the way of the attack, but this time to the side- however, a blade caught his leg, forcing him to roll to the ground earlier than he'd hoped. The golden aura around him vanished on contact with the blades, having taken the brunt of the force for Kyle- the cut, while still hurting, was relatively small compared to what could have been.

He's a physical beast. No chance.

Gripping the part of his jacket just above his heart, his hands seemed to give off a faint yellow aura before disappearing; at that point, the Seraphic Heart on the back of his jacket began to glow, as if enchanted; in fact, he had been Venerated. Hopefully, he wouldn't need it. He just had to keep evading. The next blow, however, would probably be more detrimental.

"Who's fault is it you fell in the first place?!" he shouted whilst all of this was going on. "Yours! If you'd have stayed loyal, then you'd still be a demi-god!"

Jacob ll Tortuga ll Port

"He-HEY! THAT DID NOT JUST HAPPEN!" Even before they touched down it was like D-day. People hopping ship and running into the fire. He liked these people. "ATTENTION PASSENGERS. GTFO AND ROCK AND ROLL!" Jacob took a stance and dashed, remarkably fast (Even more so with the effects of haste) to catch up to the others.

Faster. Faster. You are faster than the wind. C'mon don't let your new friends get their necks wrung in final fantasyland.

Jacob secretly wished he could show off. He liked being the center of attention, but something in the back of his mind told him that he'd be damn useless. Chaos could control the wind and that was one thing he'd always been afraid of. You can't outrun tornadoes, and it's D--- hard to run with your feet off the ground. In the distance he saw Jenny, Sora, a jungle cat, James (Who apparently can do short sprints, which reminded Jacob of the dash ability), Zexion, and two girls on chocobos.

Friggin' lucky bastards with their spells and their fancy Kingdom Hearts abilities and their chocobos...

Jacob desperately wanted to pet a chocobo, but he knew he needed to wait AFTER they had used Chaos's host to paint the floor a disgusting red color.

[Amy ; Cloud : Command Center]

Cloud welcomed Jon's company, and his answer to Zordon, with a nod. He gave Jon an odd look at the "and thus" but didn't comment on it. If a giant disembodied head invoked a certain formality in the 'child', Cloud couldn't really blame him.

Amy swallowed down a comment about Kansas, and how they were no longer in it, Toto.

[Chaos :: Isle of Tortuga :: Port]

"Weak!? You insolent little-"

Chaos was about to add quite a few more colorful words until the roar shattered his thoughts. Nick's body was tensing up, the attack leaving the Walker of the Wheel stunned. As he locked eyes with Kyle, he noticed something was very wrong. The boy wasn't fazed by the amount of pure Chaos he was pushing on him. In fact, the boy's eyes were glowing golden and getting brighter. No, that was the holy eye lasers that Kyle was shooting his way.

"Oh shi-"

And for the second time within seconds, Chaos was interrupted once again by a blast of holy energy. The beams hit the Scion right in the head, sending the body spiraling against the ground. Chaos rolled until finally slamming into a post. The wood cracked and he slumped to the ground. The masked Chaos slowly got up and walked a few steps, then let out a gasp and fell to his knees, his head hanging completely limp. The winds were beginning to slow, but were still blowing hard.
