Welcome to Gaia! ::

Her jaw dropped. Literally. "CORY! Don't you go summon your fancy flames and try to physically intimidate me," she exclaimed before Cory had even finished his speech. Dropping the matter with the Ronin ("there were more important things at hand than the custody of wallets"), Zeba lunged between Rae and... Rae.
"Whoooooa there," she eased. "There's no need to get physical with this. I'm sure you two twins can sort this out in an orderly, sisterly manner."

[ Kyle ; Sora : HT/BC : Outside Train ]

As Zeba jumped in the way, it seemed Rae wasn't going to stop; and then Cory got in the way, speaking just as she was beginning her swing-

"Get out of the way! She's dangerous!" 'Rae' spat to Cory and Zeba, holding her ground.

The massive boomerang knocked the Ronin to the side and clear off his feet due to his lack of guard, interrupting his monologue at the word 'careless'.

"Jesus Christ," Kyle muttered, immediately summoning his twin-spear and grabbing Zeba and shoving him behind her. "Really, Zee? You didn't think it might have been a Replica?"

[[Louis : BC : Outside The Train]]

Louis opened his eyes, distracted from the rest of the interaction going on with the rest of the group for a moment. He looked at Jenny's face, then down to her hand where she was holding his daggers. She grabbed them for me...?

Louis extended a hand, the look on his face of almost complete astonishment. His hand hesitated for a moment, hovering over the daggers for a split second, then he snatched them, retreating his hand away from hers quickly, "Thank you... I completely forgot about them. I hope you didn't put yourself in danger to retrieve these. But it saves me allot of trouble since you returned them to me. Again... thanks." Louis looked away, his gaze locking on Cory and his actions. What Jenny wouldn't be able to see was the clenching of his teeth behind his now empty expression.

Another development, A replica... I should have seen something like this happening at one point or another. They have no physical differences, all that differs is power level... and memories. If the others realize this... figuring out which is which will be over quickly. Cory is the only one complicating things.

[Cloud ; Beatrix : Land of Dragons : Throne Room]

Cloud's eyes shifted from a soulless looking stare to one of dawning comprehension, and his body relaxed from the battle pose. He was looking at the group of Earthlings now, and had no recollection of the past minute or so he was under Jafar's control. If he thought about it, he could just barely see the beady eyes of the scepter...

He turned back, but instead of seeing Jafar there, all he saw was an empty spot. He had simply disappeared, and for a moment, Cloud thought he had gotten away. Something else was going on here, he realized, and turning back to the Earthlings he took note of a man (or creature) he had never seen before. This person was near the back of the group, behind the Earthlings. Leon's question echoed his thoughts exactly. Who was this man?

Beatrix groaned, and sat up slowly. A hand went up to a large bruise that had formed on her head. To her relief, it appeared the fight was over. The monster was defeated! Not trusting her feet to hold her up yet, Beatrix remained sitting while the world came back into focus. Everything was still fuzzy for her. It would take her a moment longer to recover.

[Dawn : BC/HT : Outside Train]

Dawn was confused. First, a random person, whom she remembered seeing before, but she did not know his name, comes popping in randomly calling them all losers. His main focus seemed to be Zeba. Something about a stolen wallet...? Next a girl, who looked exactly like the girl she helped to rescue comes out of the train. Then the doubles are going at it, they were both calling each other fakes.

The longer this was going on, the more Dawn's mind reeled. She slowly took a couple steps towards Jenny and Louis, never taking her eyes off of the scene before her. The other guy, she was going to call him Jerk-face, was confronting the girl that was on the train and was not having much luck.

"I am not sure what to do here..." she said in a rather loud whisper, "Should we help...? And who do we help...?"


[Mulan & Mushu : Land of the Dragoons : Throne Room]

Mulan watched as Amy's attack hit on target. She couldn't help but smile. She reached over and placed a hand on Kyla's shoulder. The guns weren't the only things that worked with defeating that Heartless after all.

"You did a great job," the chinese warrior told her.

Mulan slumped slightly against Kyla, as her pain she was holding back reared it's ugly head. Her attention turned to the man who banished the man who had attacked them. She soon noticed however Shang was slumped out on the floor. He was badly hurt. Her heart sank as she saw his condition.

"Shang..." she said softly as she wanted to rush over to him, and attempted to do so, before she fell onto her own knees in pain. That battle had taken a lot out of them. But her heart reached out with both worry of her husband and the location of the Emperor. She then remembered the boy that came down and stood with her along side the girl (Kichi).

"I hate to ask this of you, but I feel we can trust you," she said despite her pain, "Can you go locate the Emperor. Make sure he is safe."

Mushu had a major headache after his head on colision with Cloud's head. He didn't even answer when Cloud had asked him to stay the girl and was left behind. The dragon laid helplessly against the chest of Maggie trying to recover.

[Axel: LoD: Throne Room]

In a dazzling display of team work and inspiring bravery-' blah blah blah... yah- We won.'
Pretty lights though.
The Kurt Zisa was put in it's place, Blondy then made his move and snuff out the ' Snake in the Grass', and Axel was more then willing to help when Blondy suddenly stopped- then turned, and stared at them so blankly with those red tinted eyes and - what the heck?

" Cloud? What's up with you?"

You know something is up if Axel bothered to use the guys real name- but the issue didn't last long.
And a good thing too. The Dancing Flame didn't feel like roughing it up with a puppet, it was a waist of time.

Still... it was interesting how the hairs raised on his neck, despite the fact there was no incentive feeling to make that reaction.
Muscle memory perhaps? Could the body remember what fear was like?
Maybe to some extent your body knows how it should be reacting, regardless of a ticker to make it happen.
It was what made that moment when Cloud turned to them so slowly.. that time seemed to stop.

-until another voice broke the tension.

Jafar little sticky got broken, and he went out like a sad little candle in the wake of Mr. Personality who strode onto the scene like he freakin owned the place.
- and boy, you think you've seen them all. Then another 'interesting' person shows up and proves to yah that the world can still get stranger, and create even stranger looking people.
Was this guy human? He didn't look normal, not like the kids did, or his other teammates like Leon or Beatrix.

"Should we be thanking you?"

[ Kai: PR : The Flying Dutchman ]

Seen one pirate ship, you've seen them all. And even though cold and dark wasn't beyond her taste, but cold, dark, and wet...

Wet that can splash onto her book. Getting her pictures all soggy and ruined- nope- Kai wasn't impressed. But one wouldn't go pegging the dark-pictomancer as some kind of spoiled princess who hates water... she's not so specific- but NOTHING touches her precious work. So she amused her swirling dark thoughts with the dark swirling water that passed below over the railing. She was airy and weightless in appearance as ever, and looked even more ghostly then the phantoms of this miserable ship.

' Good things come to those who wait they say?'

Frustrated her plans couldn't go on paper at the moment, Kai had no choice but to create a patchwork of imagery in her minds eye, planning just how and where she would strike the match and burn the world down around her original.

Then something came to mind... " I wonder where IT is now?... what could IT he doing?... what trail of destruction is it leaving in IT'S wake?... It will all be her fault."

Kai stared down at her blurry reflection. Such a mockery was she...

' You've done more terrible things then I ever have... yet... they'll see.'
