[John.:Angel Grove:.City]
Realizing he had very little time until the drive ended, John quickly understood that if he were to break the drive now, Cory would be among all the good earthlings... and that would be very bad.
"One sec guys, I gotta pee real bad, be right back! This damned suit of mine is gonna be a hassle too... worse than belts ya know!" John yelled backwards as he bounded behind a giant pile of rubble from the few buildings that were left to do his "business".
John would then proceed to cut off the drive, allowing Cory to be a part of the physical world once again.

[Cory .:. Angel Grove .:. City]
The ronin reappeared in a flash of light, hands in his pockets and a grin on his face. "Gotta pee, huh? I guess that would make me the urine?" Cory stretched a bit, relieved that his previous wounds had vanished, including his fatigue from Bursting. He was also thankful that John had to foresight to end the Drive away from the other Earthlings- after all, Cory has only recently kidnapped one of them.
It was then that the Revblade appeared in a flash of blue and black fire, its tip already pressed against John's throat. "You know, I really should kill you for getting involved in my fight. But then that would just make me a murderer, and I would gain nothing but the same contempt those losers give to the Replicas." The Revblade vanished from sight, accompanied by a brief flash of the Indomitable Will. "Besides, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Not only do you oppose the Replicas, but you understand the Maester's true colors. My words will not sway the other Earthlings- I could be talking about how the Earth orbits the Sun, and they would disagree simply because I said it." Cory placed a hand on John's shoulder, his grin ever present as he said, "They've all played Final Fantasy X. They all know who Seymour is, how deceptive he can be, and what he's capable of. He's a villain, that much has not changed. While we're on the subject, Kuja can only be trusted based on how much clothing he is wearing; little to none. He's a villain, too, John. And all of the Nobodies the others seem to be working with- They're emotionless tools. At any point they could view the opposing side as a more logical option and go for that, even the more carefree ones like Axel or Demyx. Hell, especially Demyx, that coward."
With that, the rogue turned and started to walk into the city. "You guys need to find some more predictable villains to align with. At least I know Hook will always be motivated by gold." Cory then opened up a dark portal, vanishing into its murky depths as he shouted, "Catch you later! And if you see Timmy, tell him to meet me at the ship!"

{James : Swamp : Dinghies}
James listened intently to Jacob's question. Of course he knew the full answer, which was that Tia Dalma was actually Calypso and that she was one of the wise beings they were sent here to assist and send back to Disney Castle. However, he couldn't reveal that outloud, not with Jack sitting in the dinghy he was in.
"Yeah, the Pearl, she might also know what is going on in this world right now." He replied, it was only a half answer, though it was true. His attention focused on his trinity charm, his thoughts directed straight to Jacob and only Jacob.
'Don't say any of this outloud. It's also because Tia Dalma of course is Calypso, which is one of the wise beings who was on the letter that brought us here. So we need to see her and get her to Disney Castle to help. If you want to reply, just think about sending your thoughts to me.' He said, hoping that Jacob wouldn't recite any of it out loud.
{Auron : Swamp : Dinghies}
The unsent samurai stayed silent, focused on rowing through the murky waters of the swamp. He was in the second to last boat, right in front of the boat that Noelle, Jenny, Dawn and Louis were in.
"How much further?" He inquired to no one in general. The only one who would really know though would be Jack.
{Leon : Angel Grove : City}
With a series of groans Leon finally came to, slowly pushing himself off of the ground, knocking dirt and bits of rock and rubble off of himself as he managed to stand. He was definitely in bad shape, cut up and battered all over.
"Note to self... taking on a replica and his summon alone is not a good idea." He muttered as he staggered over toward the group who had assembled together, apparently something was wrong.
"What's going on?" He asked, looking at the group with concern as he slung his gunblade over his shoulder once again.

[Kichi :: Angel Grove :: City]
Kichi was about to charge into the fray with Kai, when he noticed Bal Hur drop from the fight in the corner of his vision, by the time he turned back, Kai and Dark Carbuncle were dropping out as well. He looked for Azrael, only to find his zord falling from the sky, before disappearing into a dark portal. It looked like the battle was over.
Then Billy and Tommy ran up...suitless. They explained it must be a problem with Zordon. Seymour suggested they hurry...but they did need to defend the city, and see what was going on at HQ. Though...
"Well...city is already partly destroyed, and it's too big to wait for an attack on any part of the city, especially when we can no longer teleport...there's not much purpose to defending the city itself at this point, much more purpose in defending the kids that are still here...and they're kids. Tell them to hide. I'm sure they'll find spots we would never think of. We can't afford to take the time to gather them up and protect them, and even then, how would we protect them? They'll have to handle it on their own. But don't worry, I'm sure if you can inspire them, they'll be able to stay calm, and be okay by their own means."
Kichi looked around, seeing if anyone would support his decision.

[Dawn : Dinghies : Swamp]
Dawn stared at Sayrike after the girl made her suggestion. The wind user looked back at the water, her eyebrow twitching slightly, then back at the girl again.
"Uhhh, thanks for the suggestion, but no," she said, "There is no way I am sticking my hands in that stinky fish swamp water."
Dawn looked over at Noelle who seemed to be struggling with the oars. She couldn't help, but laugh at the situation.
"Are you sure you don't want someone else helping with those?"

Jacob ll Swamp ll Dinghy
"Oh." He said, absent-mindedly. Jacob was beginning to like James a lot. No nonsense, but still pretty cool. The shaggy blonde gave a little grin and eased back. Are you a telepath then? Can you read minds? That is SO COOL! Jacob thought, seizing up inside. His face contorted a little as he tried to stifle a smile.

{James : Swamp : Dinghy}
James' hand quickly went to his mouth as he tried to stifle a chuckle because of Jacob's response, trying very hard to get it to be passed off as him itching his nose... He only had himself to blame for that one though since he didn't explain about the Trinity Charms. He had completely forgotten that just because they were a part of the dress sphere, didn't mean that the new members actually knew about them.
'No I'm not a telepath, and don't worry I can't read your mind. Sorry, I should have explained, you see the crystal that is tied around your wrist? It's a trinity charm, It came with the dress sphere and serves as a way for everyone who wears one to communicate with each other without being heard. Came in pretty handy when we were planning out how to defeat Oogie Boogie back in Halloween Town.' He mentally replied.
Mentioning Halloween Town brought back the memories of the previous world. Far too much had happened in far too little time for the corsair's liking... It was because of the events of Halloween Town that they now had so many enemies to deal with. The most dangerous of those enemies, at least in the corsair's mind, was definitely the replicas. Just thinking about another encounter with them put the corsair back on edge again, his grip on the oars of the boat tightening slightly.

((Sorry I didn't get this done sooner, life has been kinda crummy lately @___@))
[Swamp ~ Dinghies --> Tia Dalma's]
"Nearly there." Jack called as they really began getting into the swamp. The number of trees nearly quadrupled as they paddled into the swamp inlet and the dinghies began fighting against thick algae and swamp grass. They came across a few small homes, raised out of the water on docks with their own dinghies teathered to poles. A few people sat out on porches, eyeing the group rowing by, smoking from pipes or watching from under large-brimmed hats.
"Nah, I'll be good, but thanks for the offer." The blonde smiled at Dawn, keeping with her task.
As they drew closer to plant life Noelle pulled the oars aboard the dinghy so they wouldn't be lost and raised her hands a little, the swamp plants responding to her magic. It was a weird feeling trying to controll these plants. It was like playing with spaghetti--everything was limp and watery. The plants that made rowing somewhat more difficult parted away from the boats, allowing them more room to move. The agromancer used the reeds and swamp grass to push their small boat along, finding it exponentially easier than using the oars.
"This be it." Jack said rather softly, as if he didn't want to alert the home-owner of the little shack they had just come upon. Anyone could understand why. The group had finally arrived at Tia Dalma's home and could teather their boats along the small dock at the front. Sparrow did so quickly and quitely, getting out of the dingy and walking towards the front door eagerly.

[Jenny :: Swamp :: Dinghies » Tia Dalmas]
"Awesome Noe!" The mage exclaimed as she peered over the edge of the dinghy. Nevermind the fact that the plants looked like monsters ready to devour them all. She kind of felt like she was at Disneyland... except the people looking at them weren't animatronic. Jenny cupped her hand over her mouth, just in case she had spoken too loud. As if they weren't attention enough.
When they finally touched down, Jenny took hold of the rope and tied it neatly to the dock before any attempts at getting onto the platform were made by her. As long as you clear the water you should be good...

[ Kyle ; Sora ; Zexion ; Kuja ; Tia Dalma : Tia Dalma's Hut ]
As the crew made their way, finally reaching Tia Dalma's hut, they would have noticed a good number of other dinghies, also tied to the dock of Tia Dalma's hut. There were others here.
"Were we, uh... expecting company?" Sora asked Jack, following the man out of the boat, looking toward the hut expectantly.
Before Sayrike had a chance to respond, they'd arrived, and Kyle had tethered the rope of their dinghy to the dock, having learned to do so with his father years before.
"Just friends of the Captain," Zexion replied to Sora with his normally apathetic tone, getting off of the boat as Kyle tied it to the dock. He remained stationary, deciding not to follow Jack into the house.
"Wonderful. More pirates," Kuja muttered, hovering out of his boat and over to the docks without giving Joe any sort of help.
"Well, well, well, it seems he dead 'ave decided to pay us a visit," called a voice all would find familiar, her playful tone emphasized by a small laugh. Stepping out of the doorway was none other than Tia Dalma, her wry smile ever-present. "Been wonderin' where ye ran off to this time, Jack. The locker not comfy enough for you?"

[Dawn & Elizabeth : Tia Dalma's Hut]
Dawn helped to tie the boat to the dock, which she had to admit was a poor job. Her dad was always been the one who tied the boat to the dock. She vaguely remembered how he did it. She just hoped it would hold while the rest got off. She climbed up onto the dock and held out a hand to whoever wanted her help climbing off.
Elizabeth stood inside of the shack she got a glance from the window of the people as they came towards the building. She felt dread washing over her as she saw Jack among the first at the door. She gave a side glance at Will. Hoping that he wouldn't be able to read her nervousness. Elizabeth looked over at the door once more as Tia answered it.
"So he has arrived..." she said in a flat tone from where she stood.

[Nick :: Angel Grove :: City Streets]
Nick watched as the Replicas vanished, doing his best on holding a straight face as he approached Seymour. Inside of his mind, however, he was doing a victory dance, complete with random cheers and complete insanity.
Oh yeah, who's bad? We bad. Oh yeah. Uh huh....Boy, are you really this stupid? An immediate flush came across Nick's face, anyone nearby would suddenly see the boy go red. He tried calming himself down, but perked up immediately as the rangers talked with Seymour about their powers. And Ooze. Oh yes, Nick knew the whole story about Ivan Ooze and how the rangers lost their powers, then traveled to some crazy planet, got new ranger powers, and saved the day.
Since the Rangers lost their powers, that could only mean one thing: Zordon got his tube 'sploded by Ooze, so he's dying. Nick remembered crying watching that movie for the first time...when he was about seven or something. Such a sad movie. Oh well, the heroes will win in the end and all that. Might as well go along for the ride and watch the story unfold from a different perspective.

[Anthony ~.~ Caribbean Sea ~.~ Tia Dalma's Hut]
Anthony could feel the gaze of the swamp inhabitants piercing the back of his neck as they rowed down the swamp. When they arrived at Tai Dalma's hut, he pulled in the oars, his arms thanking him for the break, and placed them into the dinghy as Kyle tethered the rope to the dock. Once the ship was secured, he carefully climbed out, taking caution not to accidentally slip and splash his foot into the swampy water.
Anthony grabbed his right shoulder and rotated his arm, which felt a tad sore from the row over (especially once they got to the swampy area where it became a little more difficult to row). As he lowered his arm, Tai Dalma approached the group and greeted them. The mysterious presence surrounding the woman creeped the youth out; however, for some reason, Anthony found her character rather attractive (probably for her great oral hygiene), except for when she grows over a 100 feet. Then she becomes intimidating. But, alas, she wasn't real person...
Anthony stepped forward, joining the others, and waited further instructions.

[Kyla: Angel Grove:Streets]
((sorry for the delay- my computer is broken *Cries* I’m using my mother’s now until it can be fixed.))
Kyla spoke very little. She was ashamed and tried to not let it show, just stared ahead listening, while cradling her injured drawing hand. She could feel the holes in her body closing, it was slow and a bit painful, but in a way it was better that way. She felt like she deserved it.
To think that such a sick and twisted thinking person coming from her was… it was a real reality check.
It gave her a glimpse as to what sort of darkness could have engulfed their home in that dream. It’s easy to think it just crept up from some unknown source on the planet, but now it was starting to look more and more like the destruction of earth, was a little closer to home then first perceived.
“It’s Tyue, but you can call me by what I am if it’s easier to remember.” Answered the cyan tinted summon. The jewel on her head began to shine and Alan’s body was warmed by it’s light. The longer the exposure the more immediate the effects, he could watch if he wanted as his skin and muscle re-sewed itself back together right before his eyes.
When she finished, the creature rose up into the air so she was almost eye level and her tiny paws gripped his hand and took a better look at it, as if assessing her work.
“Good, All done! Next!?”
Probably not a lot, they had a healer too! She was mostly likely patching everyone up as well. But it didn’t hurt to help, and she cast a glance in her partners direction- making sure Kyla was mending well enough as well. There was no need to exchange words. Tyue could read her silence like her emotions were written on her skin in bold lettering.
She needed just a few moments to herself.
Besides, she watched this movie too as a kid. No powers means no Zordon, means Ivan Ooze came into the HQ and torched the place by now. Perhaps they should have said something? Maybe- maybe not, it was an iffy thing to tamper with the course of a world’s natural story-line. Like all the others, they would have to just see this through and help in any way they could.
As Kichi gave his opinion Kyla was torn on the subject. The way he spoke about just leaving the kids defenseless sounded a tad cruel. Unlike the movie, there were some very different factors coming into play here. Not just Ivan Ooze and his soon-to-be- giant robot bug things no doubt, but Space Pirates, AND replicas, Heartless and whatever else the darker forces had to offer from the Kingdom Hearts side of the equation. They had just seen firsthand what the replicas were capable of- hiding just didn’t seem good enough. These kids left behind could be killed.
“Is it really ok to just leave them to what fate deals them?”
At least one good thing happened today: Alan and Kyle’s safe return.
“What worries me...” she began, “Is the fact the variables between this situation, and one we were shown back home, are very different. If another major monster, or a bigger nastier heartless appears. Or the replicas return with reinforcements… these children left to run and hide, could be killed quite easily. I’m not sure if I can just abandon them without knowing there’s something here which can at least keep a look out and alert us if the worst were to return.”
She crossed her arm over her damaged one which was almost done healing by now.
“But then that possess another obvious issue. Response time and distance. And to where should we to go? To the Rangers HQ- we know what awaits us- or maybe something has changed. Or do we go to that other location Alpha 5 showed us earlier? The problem is we know too little. So where do we go- which will provide, hopefully, the most answers to our next move?”
All this thinking out loud was helping, making her forget the last few moments ago.
“Do we split up? As stupid as it sounds. Personally I don’t like that idea at all. But is there another way to check out both places and report back? Hmmm- never mind.”
Tyue busied herself with making sure those who needed healing who were not already treated by Amy, had been seen to. Kyla could feel her mana being taxed a little, but it wasn’t a problem. Besides… there was this whining sound in her head which was beginning to distract her.
!!? No wait. Was that a real noise? Kyla turned around looking each other way to trace the source. She saw nothing, but still looked confused. She could have sworn she had heard something.
