[Michelle : Black Pearl : Dock/Water ]
Michelle was having a world of fun. Swimming swimming just keep swimming. The voice of the irrepressible Dory was singing over and over again in her head. Her mer-form was very reminiscent of Koi, complete with shiny scales and some fun wispy fins aloud the sides and bottom. As Kyle and Joe exchanged sunken words at twenty paces she was flitting back and forth giggling at how fast she could move with her tail.

[ Kyle ; Sora : Shipwreck Cove : Docks ; End of Tour ]
Kyle merely frowned for a moment before swimming above and around Joe, finishing a half-circle around him and appearing on the other side, looking at him with the same face he'd had before. The only difference was the fact that he was now upside-down, his hair floating wildly below him. He still said nothing.
-
"Yeah, hopefully we'll have some time to explore- it's amazing, to see all the things that go on in that city," Sora said with a grin, fondly remember his previous trips to Atlantica. "And since Ursula's already done for, we won't have to worry about anything until Ajora does his thing. If we head out soon, we should have plenty of time to prepare."
Stretching his arms out, he looked around. "You know, that's actually a good idea. Let's try and get everyone at the docks," Sora said, glancing around at those still with them before looking to Noelle. "Then we can split properly and go check in on King Triton. Sound like a plan?"

[ Riku ; Seymour ; Cloud ; Grand Councilwoman : Hawaii : Alien Ship ~ Command Center ]Seymour, having been near the back, noticed Jon's return and moved just over somewhat so that he could whisper to the young man without interrupting the conversation going on around them.
"It's good to see you are well, Sir Jonathan," he said, a small smile forming on his lips. "I had begin to wonder if those Replicas had somehow managed to capture you."The Grand Councilwoman nodded somewhat at those that spoke up, though her face had grown solemn. When Stitch landed nearby, she didn't even flinch, though her eyes did look down to him as he poked at her. She had long since gotten used to his barbaric ways, having been on the island with him for the past month. "It would be far better for you not to fly another of our cruisers- it would... be a waste of your talent," she said, though she quickly shifted her glance to the others in order to change the subject. "While I appreciate your aide, I should be blunt- without those airship reinforcements, or your Ranger Zords and those of your allies in the city, we will be at a grave disadvantage."She turned to her side, looking at the large set of four monitors on the wall in front of her chair, and pressed a button on the chair's arm. The monitors all immediately lit up, showing simultaneous feed- they were acting as one combined, larger monitor. "This is footage of the enemy fleet one of our scouts managed to capture," she explained. At first, all that could be seen was blurs of white- the police cruiser was soaring through clouds. However, within a few moments, it flew out into open air, revealing the coming force: one massive airship in the center of the fleet; another, slightly-smaller but still gargantuan cruiser-class ship; at least four battleship-class vessels; a single carrier ship; and dozens upon dozens of small fighter ships- all of which looked identical to the ships piloted by the Space Pirates that had been terrorizing the islands alongside Ivan Ooze. However, shortly into the video, the police cruiser came under fire, and the video came to an eerily-abrupt end. "If you've been on the island for awhile, you will notice the smaller ships- it seems these people have been supplying the fiends terrorizing the island," she said, rewinding the video a few moments and pausing it, pointing at the smaller ships scouring the sky. "We are hoping they're open to negotiations; as it stands, we'll need a diplomatic solution if we are to save the islanders and the city beyond the volcano.""Can you contact them?" Riku asked, seemingly unaffected by the site of the armada; he was overcome with tension, sure, but he'd been in enough situations to know how to defeat stress. "And do we have an evacuation plan?""Yes, but hopefully it won't come to that," she responded, turning to face the group again. "They will be within range of communication in a few moments- we were preparing to establish contact when you arrived. If you wish to stay, I ask that you remain silent throughout the negotiations."[[Okay, swear I'm done editing, I think. Where I underlined her dialogue about the Zords, it's not that she's putting emphasis- think of it as a plot hint.]]

[John.:Hawaii:.Beached Alien Ship]
The entire thing was quite surreal.
John had stayed quiet in order to try and understand everything that was happening. Unfortunately for him there was very little to be found out as even the Grand Council Woman herself could not provide them with adequate information on what was happening. He was at that point where it felt like he was on the edge of the cliff and over that cliff was an endless field of pillows, starkisses and sunshine. However, he was facing the wrong way and was only staring at a barren desert full of a cacti and sand... rather platonic actually.
Then came the footage of the space pirates... violent fiendish bastards who were aiding Ivan Ooze essentially. Granted, the only "space pirates" John was familiar with were the ones from Metroid, but either way, they needed to be eliminated.
"I'm sorry to butt in ma'am", John said, "but I don't believe that diplomacy will do us much good... if they are aiding Ivan Ooze, then they have a contract to pretty much obliterate everything here... from what is known, he's here for revenge wants nothing less than to completely destroy everything that is good... I guess you can think him akin to a Mongol conqueror since you are familiar with Earth's history..."
This last part bothered John somewhat to say. Hawaii was on earth, but what was it really... did it have a history? Did Children in Hawaiian schools learn about China and the Mongol invasions that wrecked Europe? Did they know that their polynesian decent linked them closer to Mongolia than too the nation that had rule over them? It was hard to say...

[ Kichi :: Hawaii :: Beached Alien Ship ]
Kichi whispered back to Seymour, "I merely needed some time to compose myself. Thankfully I am indeed fine, and not captured" before going back to his silence.
He listened as the Grand Councilwoman talked about using their Zords, and watched the footage when she played it back. admittedly though, as soon as she mentioned that they might have Zords, he was fixated. 'Why didn't I think of that? Why didn't I remember the Power Rangers had those? Do we actually have them? God...now I REALLY wanna see what i got, maybe even give it a test run!' He was excited. Nothing like a good chance at piloting a giant mech to get Kichi's mind off his problems.
However, Bahamut gave a quick reminder. 'Keep calm, you need some focus in case they discuss strategy. Especially if you don't want the Zord, or whatever it's called, damaged, then you'll want to make sure you're not just fooling around. As much as I'd love to let you, it isn't the time.'
Kichi focused his attention again. 'Thanks.' He thought to Bahamut, before looking at the huge fleet that they'd have to fight, and realized he'd have to learn to be a top notch pilot pretty quickly. But it didn't scare him. It was still...something he'd always wished to try, but had let reality tell him it was impossible...and now was his chance to do it anyways. 'Do the impossible...right?' He mouthed to himself subtly as he thought it.
Then they brought up that someone was supplying them. It had to be true...those were...FF12 ships, were they not? Indeed a troubling sign. Especially so, with what John had said.

Sayrike::Shipwreck Cove::End of Tour Sayrike was glad for the tour, always wanting to know the layout of somewhere new. Also, she was terrible with directions, so it was best to familiarize herself with the area as soon as possible, because heaven knows that she'd get lost a couple of times if left on her own. A girl wandering around by herself in this sort of company was just an invitation for trouble. The warmth of Louis' hand reminded her that she wouldn't exactly be alone. She took a moment to calm herself lest another blush rise. It was a rare appearance, but always a bit of an annoyance. While following Gibbs, Sayrike wished Louis had a Trinity Charm. It'd help her a lot so she wasn't forced to mutter descriptions aloud to him the entire time about where to watch his step and how a new room looked. For fear of disturbing other people while they listened to Gibbs, Sayrike and Louis stayed toward the rear of the group. She tried to be as concise as possible, but still leave in the important details--the rough size of the room (did he know how long a 'foot' or a 'meter' was?), where the exits were, the length of the hallways, the number of people in the room, and the room's contents. As they passed more and more pirates along the way, she couldn't help but think, well, at least they weren't trying to capture me or anything. It's a bit of a relief to be on their side this time. When the tour finally came to an end, Sora and Noelle suggested moving on to find King Triton. Hmph, that might be a bit of trouble trying to get him to leave his kingdom. He really loves his subjects. How are they supposed to convince him to go to Disney Castle, or wherever he needed to go? Sayrike was also a bit reluctant to leave Louis behind like this. She could go down to the depth of the ocean safely, but she didn't know if Louis' magic would allow him to do the same. The corners of her mouth turned down slightly as she tried to think of a way to solve this. She leaned in close to Louis to ask him quietly, "Can you go underwater at all? I mean, as in, change your form to a certain extent. I didn't know if you were going to be coming down to Atlantica with a lot of us..." She sighed, and muttered angrily to herself, "If only I had some time to think if there was a way I could use my magic to help..." There was always a way. She just need to sit somewhere quiet and brainstorm. Her frown only deepened.

Joe was quite unamused by Kyle's upside down analysis, and turned around once more. "What part of 'go away' don't you get?"

[Anthony ~.~ Shipwreck Cove ~.~ Docks]
Before he knew it, Anthony was swooped up by the touring crowd eagerly following Mr. Gibbs as he pointed out landmarks and vicinities, each with their own small story, all along Shipwreck Cove. The sights, needless to say, were awesome! Once the tour had come to a stop, there was talk of splitting up. The knight had forgotten all about the plan due to all the hullabaloo that had happened since their meeting below deck. As much as he'd want to join the small party going below, he felt his presence would be needed above to assure constant communication between the two parties, especially since, as far as he's aware, only him and Dawn had agreed to remain with the non-earthlings.

[Cory .:. Underworld]
The ronin made his way to the portal, looking over his shoulder at Hades before saying, "People like me don't rely on luck. I think we can both agree that my luck is horrifically bad, anyway." With that, he passed through the dark portal, the darkness more than ever pulling at his heart, tainting it and staining it with darkness in a way he had never felt before. He knew the effects of the dark corridors were extreme on those with little-to-no darkness in their hearts... But he was unprepared for this.
[Hawaii .:. South of the Beached Ship]
The rogue appeared from a portal of darkness, collapsing onto his hands and knees as he felt the sudden relief of the darkness leaving him. "To think such an oppressive force was inside me this whole time... I'm starting to be more and more thankful to my wannabe." Cory slowly got to his feet, taking his time to recover as his eyes fixated on the distant ship Hades had spoken of. "Now the only problem is earning their trust... Which really shouldn't be that hard. Save a few of them, avoid verbal conflict, bite my tongue in general... Actually, this may prove to be the most difficult task to date. Damn those overly sensitive children..."

[[Louis : Shipwreck Cove : End of Tour]]
Sayrike was a great help, her timely warnings and descriptions were a great help to keep Louis from outright panicking and feeling as though he was completely lost in his darkness. Her descriptions were enough for him to picture his surroundings vaguely, thought he had a hard time matching his mental picture with the ungodly scent that came with a city of pirates.
When they came to the end of the tour, Sayrike stopped to ask him what he would be doing in the inevitable separation to come. Louis scratched a bit under the top of his blindfold as he replied, "I can swim just fine, but I don't think I can literally change into a fish if that's what you're asking. I don't possess powers like that."
I could probably use darkness to alter my body, but- suddenly Louis remembered the critical detail that had been haunting him this entire time, proding at the back of his mind like an important date long forgotten or project left unfinished. In a flash, his mental defenses went back up, unsure how much had already been compromised, a whirling maelstrom of darkness forming a wall against outside forces, "Ajora, you've been so quiet... I almost forgot about you."

[ Ajora : Atlantica : ??? ]"Laan! How wonderful of you to join us!" Ajora exclaimed, looking absolutely jovial at the Death Knight's appearance. He almost went in to hug the 'older' male, but decided against it. "You're just in time! I'm in desperate need of the Trident, and- oh, how rude of me!"
He floated off to the side a bit, motioning to Nicholas and back to Laan. "Laan, this is Nicholas, Avatar of Chaos; Nicholas, meet Laan, Avatar of Death. Though I'm sure your scions have already informed you of that little detail."[ Pseudo-Ajora : Shipwreck Cove : ??? ]A brief snort could be heard in the back of Louis' mind as Ajora stifled his chuckling. Suddenly, despite Louis' blindness, he could 'see' Ajora floating around in the darkness in front of him; the Replica was in his Black Betta mer-form and was quite literally swimming through the blackness.
"You forgot about me? I shouldn't be surprised," he said, faking a yawn. He was floating around on his back, head 'laying' on his hands behind him, his tail lazily pushing him around. "I'm probably not the only thing that's slipped your mind lately. You've just been soooo distracted..."

{Bobbi, Demyx .:. Hawaii .:. Alien ship}
Bobbi didn't yank her hand away when Dani touched it like she normally would have. She wasn't entirely certain of the younger girl's gesture, what she meant by it, but she was pretty sure the kid just needed some sort of assurance that she wasn't going totally bonkers, and that all this was real. Lord knows the archer was having some issues with the whole situation herself.
The easiest way to describe Bobbi's reaction to hearing that there were Zords involved would be to say that her face spasmed. Her mouth tightened, her eyes narrowed, and she held back a grimace, all at the same time, then forced her expression back into being somewhat neutral. The expression on her face didn't last more than a moment, but she wasn't so good at schooling her expression that it wouldn't have been caught.
First I have to wear spandex, now I get to pilot a mecha when I'm scared to even drive a freaking car? Lovely, she thought, resigning herself to the situation. She wasn't a bad driver by any stretch of the imagination, but she was nervous about getting in a wreck; which was pretty much guaranteed by piloting a Zord in the middle of battle.
(Yes, dammit, spell check, spasmed is a freaking word! ><)

[[Louis : Shipwreck Cove : Mental Plane]]
"Yeah, you tend to be distracted when you're blinded. Not that there's much to be distracted by anymore, but the initial event delivers a shock of sorts." Louis grimaced at Ajora's antics, he would like to be able to see again, but seeing The Bloody Angel's avatar in his mind's eye wasn't exactly what he had at the top of his list, "What were you up to while my defenses were down? You're usually so intrusive and verbose, yet you haven't said a word since I was busy trying to concentrate on the battle with that... thing."
What was that thing anyway?

[Nick :: Atlantica :: ????]
Nick looked up from his moment of focus, his palms pressed together in a meditative form. He had been focusing on centering his magic power and the Darkness to make his clone. With the arrival of Laan and Zalera, however, he broke his focus and eyed the guy curiously. He looked rather similar to the blue flame guy, but said nothing of it. Instead, he simply relayed what Chaos was blaring in his mind.
"Hello, Zalera, it has been a long time...Ready to begin our reign once more?"

[ Pseudo-Ajora : Shipwreck Cove : ??? ]
"Who, little ol' me?" he said, grinning as he continued to lazily float around Louis, his fin-tendrils waving slowly though the air and leaving small trailed of crimson energy. "Just digging through your mind, your knowledge... your memories... Oh, and leaving tiny bits and pieces of me around before the main part got pushed out. The seeds of tomorrow!"
He couldn't help but chuckle. "Anyway, no clue about that creature thing. Only thing I know is it sure as hell wasn't any sort of minion-like creature, like the Heartless or Unversed, but it had some similar qualities..."
