Between the two Copters and Sora's Gummi Ship
Oceans. Why him? Why couldn’t they land in some nice world with just one huge continent instead of a tiny one with a minuscule port. It must’ve been Tseng’s plan all along, just to make him miserable or something. Well… it sure as hell was working. Oceans.
But this ship they landed next to? With these kids inside? What was going on? They didn’t seem to be from this world either due to the fact that this world seemed to lack color and that ship did not.
Reno stood from his seat and headed out of the hatch as Tseng did. Glancing back to Rufus, he said, “C’mon Boss. Let’s get outta here.”
The Turk stepped out of the copter and to the ground. “Elena?” He suddenly noticed that the rookie had landed behind them (ungracefully as usual. Rude must not be with her) and was with Tseng and these odd kids. Reno walked up to the small group and slipped his hands into his pockets.
“Radiant Garden? Doesn’t sound like much of a world, yo.”

Another rough landing......well...3rd times the charm,right? Hopefully next time Sora can land without crashing. Kairi stepped out of the ship and took a good look around at the world. Wow....from what Sora told her, she didn't expect it to be this....gloomy.
It looked like Xemnas didn't like this world very much either...he was cowering behind Sora. The redhead went over to him, "Xemnas...? are you alright?" Kairi heard Sora talking to someone and looked up. There was 2 men and a woman, all in suits. Except for the bright redheaded one...who's suit was a bit more laid back.
"Um....Hello?"
Will Turner was just leaving the Govener's House when he saw the gummi ship crashland, landing somewhere near the docks. He wrinkled his brow. He saw a ship like that once before. It flew in the sky instead of sailing on the sea....and it was made up with looked like a child's building blocks.
Sora did say he was coming soon.....
He had talked to Sora over this....internet. Which he commendered from Norrington a little while back...or was that called a computer? Anyway...he figured Norrington had no better use for it. He must have thought it to be a stool. Oh well.
Will rushed to the port and met the group, "Sora! Good to see you again" he nodded to Kairi, Riku and Xemnas, "These must be your friends...nice to meet you all." there was another group a bit across from them. Three people all in suits of similar fashion. All equally werid to him.
"Sora? Are they with you too...?"
((HELLOOOO WILLL~~~~ :'DD That was fun, all! Sorry about being AFK Yesterday~~~!))

Sora's eyebrows rose when he spotted the flaming redhead emerge from the ship. Quite apparently, he was the more laid-back of the lot of them, considering the almost careless way he dressed...
He hadn't heard of Radiant Garden? Weird...he was about to say something to that effect when his attention was immediately focused on the new arrival.
Will!!
Perking up considerably, Sora flashed the other man a bright smile as he waved slightly. Man, he'd missed Will and Jack! And Elizabeth as well! "Hello, Wil! Yeah, these are my friends, Kairi, Riku, and this is Xemnas."
Pausing for a moment, Sora turned back to the other three adults....well, they weren't his friends, technically, but they weren't enemies either, or else they would've attacked already... "And...well...I just saw them..."
~~
Tseng watched as the new arrival - Will, was it? - made his way over to them; he'd registered Reno's presence, but there were more important things at hand at the moment. Well. Will was pleasant enough, but the Turk Commander didn't miss the strange look he gave them.
Studying the young man, Tseng frowned slightly. He was dressed in the oddest attire; in all his years of service and the vast amounts of people he had met in his career, he hadn't quite seen anyone dressed like that before.
Who, exactly, was he?
"We just arrived," Tseng responded calmly. Well then. Time for extracting a little more information from him. "And who would you be?"

Will looked at the others who Sora apprantly didn't know. The black haired man had adressed him. "My name is Will Turner. You just arrived? Do you mind me asking where you are all from? It appears we don't know any of you...."
They seemed responable. Thank God. Will had enough things to worry about, Jack would be coming soon and they would be off to Tortuga. Will has a score to settle with Norrington. It was a little matter of him hacking into Will's journal, after Jack did, and trying to humiliate him with it.
He didn't want to think about it. It was just horrible. Luckily he learned how to fix it.
We should rap this up fast....Jack should be arriving soon....and I want to get done and get back as soon as possible.

Gummi Ship Landing SiteElena quickly jumps in surprise as an unpleasantly familiar voice catches her ears. She turns around slowly, not exactly eager to meet the owner of the voice, "Reno?" Of course, she does not need an answer to that question of hers. Who else can sport that shining neon light on his head and still walk around with a self-assured grin eternally plastered on his face other than Reno? Before she can wait for Reno's reply, however, Tseng's calm voice as he regards the 'dangerous people' turns her attention back to the task she should be doing; protecting her boss! Letting out a little gasp, she hurries back to Tseng's side and proceeds to glare at the newcomers. She must say that the red-haired girl and the oddly-dressed man seem equally harmless in her eyes, but appearances can be deceiving! Take her, for example, she might appear like a ditzy rookie agent, but she is actually a, uhh, rookie agent! Without the 'ditzy'! Crossing her arms in front of her, she keeps her gaze fixed on Sora. They might look like kids and harmless inhabitants of this place, but there is always a possibility that they are dangerous. Elena nods at Tseng's question to them, to show them that the Turks are not nervous about them, not at all. She forgets that her fists are still clenched tensely.

Reno kept silent for a little while the others conversed and also chose to ignore Elena. She was always caught off guard too much anyway. The Turk was also more interested in what was going on in front of him.
Will Turner huh? That was a boring name. The man seemed to be an inhabitant of this world. That means, of course, that Tseng will later bombard him with questions on this and that like always. Plus, this Will seemed to be a bit of a stiff too. But he was friends with the spikey haired kid?
“We are the Turks of the ShinRa Company on Gaia, yo.” Reno answered flatly. “But you,” he jerked his heads to the kids and the silver haired man. “You’ve been here before, haven’t you? What is the name of this place? And who are the rest of you?”
It wasn’t that Reno was trying to be the upstanding Turk and take charge of the situation. In fact, he’d rather leave that job to Tseng. It was too messy and busy. But he was curious what world had so much freaking ocean and who these Radiant Garden people were.
That and he was tired of being told that he wasn’t doing his job.

Xemnas nodded, puffing out his chest and trying to be brave for Sora, Riku, AND Kairi. He looked around at the dank place and saw ships in the docks, flags flying, and...
"Pirates!" He declared with a happy squee. Like any little boy would have, Xemnas had a like for pirates at the moment. He turned to Sora and pointed. "Can we go sailing?" He asked.
That was when he noticed the other people in suits. The three men and the woman. ... Particularly the man with the shaggy red hair. Happiness welled up inside his head as he tottered over and stood in front of Reno. "Mr. Reno!" He declared. "How nice I get to sese you like this now!" A big, happy grin covered his face as he looked at him.

Black Pearl--Helm
"What a fine, gloomy afternoon," Captain Jack Sparrow said, taking a drink of rum. His hand was wrapped around a peg on the ship's wheel, adjusting it slightly.
It took about a minute or so for the Black Pearl to come to the docks of Port Royal. Jack swung it into the docks.
"DROP THE STARBOARD ANCHOR!" He called, and the reaction came immediatly, the swinging of the ship proving such. The gently rocking ship hung in the current as Jack came away form the helm.
"I'll be going to fetch William," the pirate said the Mister Gibbs, his first mate, as he came down the steps of the Pearl's helm. He took a last swig of the rum, shoving the empty bottle to Gibbs. He grabbed a rope, swinging down from the ship and landing lightly on the wooden planks of the dock.
With a slight drunken stagger in his steps, Jack walked down the strip of wood, completely avoiding an official. It was the same old man as before. Unfortunately, the man came after him, asking for a shilling, but not his name. His name had already been "Mister Smith". It worked as well as any here.
With a light hand motion, Jack gestured for him to wait. Digging through his garments and such for any possible change to spare (though he really did have more than enough with him), he finally found a silver coin. "Silver" that is. It was made of wood, and the oldest trick in the book. The man gladly took it, Jack smiling as he left. What a fool.
"Ta," the Captain called to the elder man, who was already busy. Once again there was a change purse on the table he had passed last time. He snatched it up, ringing it once as a precaution. Jack grinned with satisfaction only briefly as he went away content.
--------------------
Coming not far from the Pearl, Jack managed to find William, who he had come to get before going to Tortuga, but the young man was not alone.
There was Sora, who the captain remembered all too well. He still hadn't come up with a way to get that blade from him, though. Two silver-haired people; a man and a boy. Then there was a man with literally red hair, one with black hair and what looked like a blue mark on his forhead. A blonde woman. A red-haired girl.
"Well then, what a little party we have here," Jack stated as he staggered up.

Will raised an eyebrow at the man, "Turks? ShinRa? Company? Are you here on buisness...? Trading of some sort...?" the young man scratched the back of his head. Werid bunch, they were.
"You're in Port Royal, in the Caribbean." they didn't even know where they were? They must be completely lost. Just then, the black pearl pulled into port, and out came Jack. Staggering as usual. Probably because of all the rum....
"Jack? Hm. You're here sooner then I thought." Will stated, unimpressed by the pirate's comment. Jack had a nag for saying the wrong things are the absolutely worst timing.

Port
The look of gratitude Sora gave him made him want to put the blindfold back on just for the simplicity it gave him.
He watched the newcomers, the "ShinRa Turks" with a wary eye but kept his mouth shut, letting them do the talking. So this was Will, was it? Hmm. When Jack walked up he yanked his hand out of his pocket and grabbed Sora by the shoulder. "No. Rum," he whispered, hoping Sora kept his head about this and didn't drink himself to unconsciousness again.
Like they needed that.

Tseng, for once, left the questioning to Reno. For the moment, anyway. It wasn't often that Reno got serious, and the Turk Commander wasn't about to spoil the moment, so to speak. He was acutely aware of Elena's presence by his side, as well as her clenched fists.
How many times had he taught her never to clench her fists? One could do so much more with loosely-clenched fists than clenched ones. He'd taught her that painful lesson over and over again during their sparring sessions, but oh well. He'd probably beat it out of her one day.
Hopefully.
But there was another, more pressing issue at hand.
Pirates.
There was a pirate right in front of him.
This is a sick, self-fulfilling prophecy, Tseng thought as he saw the newest arrival who looked nothing more than a drunkard trying to walk properly.
If he thought this...Will Turner had dressed oddly, it was nothing compared to what the newest arrival was wearing. Half-tempted to wonder if this was some abjectly surreal dream, Tseng simply dismissed that thought. Watching the man as he staggered towards them, Tseng found no suitable greeting for him, simply because he looked like a page out of an absurdly fantastic fairy tale.
Or something.
~~
Blinking as Xemnas made his way to Reno, Sora shook his head. "Not now, Xemnas!"
Briefly, he wondered if he'd made a mistake in bringing Xemnas along; he did the strangest things at the worst timings, and what with all the strangeness that had been going on lately, the Keyblade Bearer really, really didn't need such a trivial distraction to take his attention off more important things.
And--
"Jack!" Sora perked up when he saw the pirate come up before them, still in his trademark staggering pose. Wow, it had been awhile since he last saw Jack Sparrow, but he still looked very much the same, didn't he?
Jumping slightly at Riku's sudden touch and closeness, Sora felt his face heat up for a brief few moments before he frowned. Hey, they agreed to a little rum! A little! Jeez, Riku sure had a selective memory!

Oh no. He didn’t realize it till now. Why did he not realize that the silver haired man was Xemnas! Why? He had spoken to him briefly on the internet but Reno never expected him actually meet him. What was going to happen now?
"Oh..." The man slyly inched back from Xemnas a little. He was far too jumpy for his own good. "Hello there..."
And what was more, who was this new coot? He was obviously a little too drunk for his own good but also knew Will and the kids. He seemed like a more laid back person but Reno was still exceptionally weary of him.
“Buisness? No… not really.” The Turk answered simply. And Port Royal? A royal port? Some name. Could they be any more original. And here he thought the ‘Gold Saucer’ was bad. And Jack. Another obnoxiously plain name. What was with this world and their bad names? Really!
Reno was careful to notice the taller kid whisper to spikey about something as soon as Jack arrived. The red-head cocked and eyebrow.
“So we know these two’s names…” He jerked a thumb at Will and Jack, “But we have no idea who you are.”

Tseng returned his attention to the conversation at hand, right after deciding that the pirate - although clearly short of a few sanity points - was not quite dangerous, the Turk Commander drew his own conclusions, preferring to keep silent this time round. The questions Reno had raised were pertinent, and he was piecing together the information he'd obtained. Yes, Port Royal. Will Turner, as well as this Jack. The kids were friends with them.
But the important thing was, where were they going with this next? As much as it galled Tseng to admit it, they knew next to nothing about this particular world and it's inhabitants.
Now then...what should his next move be?
~~
Turning to regard the redhead's question, Sora frowned slightly as he responded. The guy wasn't rude, but he wasn't very polite, either, and the boy didn't quite know what to make of that.
"I'm Sora, and this is Riku and Kairi." he spoke. "We're from Destiny Islands." Quite frankly, he hadn't heard of either the Turks or Shinra before and he wondered if these...Turks were some kind of birds. Like the Gullwings, or something.
But really, what was with the bird references??
Better not to ask, really. Collectively, they looked pretty intimidating, with the black suits and all, and he shifted a little before adding, "Well...that's pretty much it."

He eyed the rude red-head carefully. He was... up-front, that was for sure. Blunt as a brick would actually be a better way to put it. He shook his fingers in greeting as Sora said his name, but left his hand fisted into the fabric of Sora's shirt, not really wanting to let go, but he knew he had to. But.. he didn't want to...
"Xemnas, do you know this guy?" he called, arching an eyebrow at the assembled ragtag group of these "Turks," Will, Jack, and his own group.

Well now! What a fabulously warm welcome! Jack grinned as he was welcomed, though not all that welcomed by that group of folk he'd never seen before. But hey. It wasn't all that important, unless they were going to be coming with them. If that was the case, he'd be keeping a wary eye on them.
"Captain Jack Sparrow," He corrected William and Sora, "But I don't think we have much time for that. William, we should be on our way. We'll leave the lads to their business." Jack said with a sly intent of bring Sora and his friends with them, but no one would really catch on. Or, at least, Sora would fall for it.
