[Kichi :: LoD :: Throne Room]
"Thank you Kyla," He said this to her, and almost immediately afterwards, the Emperor was carried in by a few guards. "...Well, that solves the issue of where." He started to move towards them, but then stopped, as he was unsure if he should be near the emperor at this moment.
Then the Curaja spell from Seymour hit everyone. Instantly, Kichi felt so much better. He looked around, unsure of what to do now.

[ Kyle ; Sora : HT/BC : Outside Train ]
"No-!" Kyle immediately shouted, throwing his arms out for Zeba to run into as the explosion knocked the entire group back. Wrapping his arms around her protectively, he skidded along the ground, cursing up a storm in the poor girl's ear as the finally came to a halt.
"Uggggh," he muttered, sitting up and looking at the chaos. A relatively large crater had formed where the boomerang impacted, spreading from the side of the train to the forest edge, and easily 3 foot deep in the center.
"Is... everyone alright?" Sora managed to spit out, getting up to his feet. He'd luckily (or not so luckily) been knocked straight into the train's side, so he'd been stopped early.
"AH-!"
Rae's terrified shout was easily heard around the group, only to have been cut off swiftly. For a brief moment, she was gone...
Only to rise slowly out of the earth near the forest edge, with a spear-blade to her neck, the visage of Noelle; the blond girl coldly glanced over the group, the one hand holding her weapon and the other wrapped around the white mage's body, clearly clutching the girls ribcage.
"Figures that wretched sack of maggots couldn't do a job properly," Elleon muttered, specifically glaring at Noelle, who had jumped to her feet at the sound of her own voice, weapon summoned.

[Joseph: BC/HT: Outside Train]
If it hadn't been for that spear, Joe would've probably been on top of Elleon and beating her senseless. Probably with his Bo staff. In her face.
Of course, that spear WAS there. Which made the fighter stop cold...although he was standing and had his staff in hand.
"Let go of her...NOW!" Joseph growled this out through gritted teeth, not moving, afraid of what Elleon would do and hating that he couldn't do anything without compromising Rae.
He...he just couldn't trust his own speed...not at the cost of Rae's possible safety...

[ ??? : Tortuga ]
A young woman, cloaked entirely in some old, black hooded (and tight-fitting) robes, strolled through the streets of Tortuga, ignoring the leering stares of men who were, inevitably, smacked by their women. The hood was up, blocking view of her face, but her long black hair slipped out of the hood on both sides. Her steps seemed almost lighter than air as if she was gliding through the streets before entering one of the quieter taverns.
Strolling through the lower floor, she made it to the stairs and made her way up to the room reserved, where her 'apprentice' of sorts was waiting. She didn't actually teach him; rather, told him of the ways to unlock his own hidden potential that her master had so sensed. Entering the room, she spotted the young male, closing the door behind her.
"Good evening, Master Nicholas," she spoke, her voice solemn... almost regretful. However, this was simply how she sounded; the young man had likely grown accustomed to it. "How have you fared in my absence today?"

[Cory .:. HT/BC .:. Outside Train]
"Tch, more wannabes."
Cory turned to see Elleon, clearly unimpressed by her presence as he crossed his arms with a sigh. "Hit-and-runs, hostages- You replicas are just one cowardly tactic after another. Do you ever intend to actually fight?" He looked to Joseph before adding, "And you calm down. Freaking out won't do you or Rae any good. The best thing you can do is keep your cool."

{James : HT/BC : Outside Train}
James still hadn't managed to get back to his feet as the blast subsided and the usual inquiry from someone sounded... He couldn't really focus on the voice through the pain.
"Gak..." He groaned as he finally managed to rise, the dudbear sign of disapproval or displeasure, "Does beat up count as alright?"
He was then suddenly brought out of his stupor as he heard a scream as Rae suddenly disappeared only to have her reappear, a spear blade to her throat and Elleon behind her. Almost instinctively the corsair raised his hexagun, aiming down the barrels and was just about to shoot.
'Don't be a fool... If you miss she'll probably kill Rae. Or the shot itself could kill Rae. Calm down and wait to see if you get an opening...'
As his thoughts raced, slowly the corsair's reflexes died down and the hexagun lowered slightly as he bided his time. He hated to be put in this situation though... Unable to help Rae. He wanted so much to pay Elleon back for the pain that she had caused him back when the replicas had first awakened.

[Joseph: HT/BC: Outside Train]
Joseph just looked at Cory, eyes wide with anger, frustration, and a little confusion. "Do not tell me to calm down in this situation, a*****e! Go f*** yourself!" And then, he promptly ignored Cory. He had to focus on something incredibly more important, now.

[Cory .:. HT/BC .:. Outside train]
The ronin shrugged off Joseph's insult with a smirk. "Fine, panic and make a mistake. Your precious Rae's life is the only thing on the line. I would have already left already if I didn't owe her for healing my hand." Cory rested the Revblade on his shoulder, a confident look on his face. However...
I'm too tired for more Bursts. A fight right now would rely on teamwork with these losers...

[Amy ; Beatrix ; Cloud ; Maggie : Land of Dragons : Throne Room]
Amy kept her guns pointing at Kurt Zisa even as the flames subsided. She hadn't been able to see the Heartless just a moment before, the wall of fire taking its precious time in disappearing back into the floor, and true to her zombie apocalypse lessons, she was prepared for the 'double tap.' In other words, shoot them in the head. Twice. Make sure they are dead. Thank you, Zombie Land.
Of course, her limited visibility at the time prevented her from seeing the effectiveness of her own attack, which would have been far less effective without the help of Kyla's gift. As the situation became clear, Amy slowly lowered her guns.
That was not good enough. Cloud's eyes betrayed his distrust of this Seymour Guado the moment he answered Leon's question. Perhaps it was the tone of his voice, or the airy quality it held. Of course, Cloud was suffering from a very recent possession. Jafar's staff had quite literally taken away his free will, and the blond man still didn't completely understand what had happened. Suspicion was the natural thing.
He hid his feelings quickly behind a stoic mask, offering no thanks of his own as he, too, was healed by the Curaja. A quick survey of the group showed that they too were healed, and was it his imagination, or was Axel looking at him strangely? Huh. Maybe this is what Axel was feeling whenever Cloud stared at him. Oh, wait, that's right. Axel couldn't feel.
Once again, without meaning to or being aware of it himself, Cloud was glowering at Axel.
Now fully healed, thanks to Seymour, the General promptly walked over to Maggie who, for some odd reason, had not woken up after the Curaja had taken effect. From her angle, she didn't immediately notice the Emperor being brought into the room. Her good eye examined the young lady before her...
Maggie just lay there, breathing regularly and apparently uninjured, but certainly not waking up. She would need to be brought to the Red Rose soon. Maybe a good night's sleep would help her.
It took a moment for Amy to even notice that Seymour was there. Her eyes had grown far away, distant, and she stared at the place Kurt Zisa had been, looking at it, but somehow or other somewhere beyond it. It was clear her thoughts were wandering beyond the battle, although where exactly was anyone's guess. She snapped out of it the moment the Curaja spell hit her, and she turned to consider the source.
She recognized him immediately, of course. Seymour Guado. The villain that would never die. Even when he was dead. She trusted him as far as she could throw him, and her face showed it. That he was the one who had cast the Curaja spell didn't even enter her mind. In fact, that he had been the one who had defeated JAFAR wasn't quite registering. She was so very tired.

[ Seymour ; The Emperor : Throne Room ]
"Ah, yes, I remember you," Seymour said, glancing down at Kyle with a knowing, almost parental smile, as if the boy was taking his first steps towards making a father proud. "I can only show you the path, I cannot help you down it. Unlocking magic like yours is something that you must learn on your own- I can only give you advice."
"For starters, the reason you were probably of little use in this case of battle would be that this ground is mostly tile and cement; pure earth is many meters below the surface," he explained, lightly placing his hand on the younger male's shoulders as they made their way over toward the Emperor's location. "And while going so far as to create earth out of magic is a possibility, it would require much more magical energy than simply manipulating that which is already there- likely something you are incapable of at the moment. Feel no grief- you were, literally, out of your element."
"We thought he might have passed out, but... his heart- we could not...," the guard muttered, staying knelt down beside his Emperor even now. "Even... his breathing is absent- see for yourself-"
With that, the guard lowered his head by the Emperor's face, putting his ear to the mouth as if to show what to do. The look on his face...
... was one of utter shock.
"He-He's breathing again!" he shouted, lifting his head up, still looking shock before quickly smiling. He placed his head to the Emperor's chest. "And his heart! It beats!"
"What is all of this about?"
The guard immediately lifted his head and jumped to his feet at the sound of the Emperor's voice, both of the guards snapping to attention purely out of habit. The Emperor hadn't moved, but his eyes had opened and a look of dumbfounded confusion.
"Your Majesty!"
"I...," he began, groaning somewhat as he began to sit up. "- have quite the headache. Mulan, Shang... what in the name of China did I miss-?"
At that point, the giant entrance doorway was suddenly opened, and in marched a small platoon of soldiers, surrounding what looked like a young adult in somewhat tattered, dirty clothing.
"Commander Shang, please excuse our interruption," the soldiers said, though most of them were somewhat distracted by the somewhat ruined throne room, and others couldn't see past the flock of people near the Emperor to know that he was on the ground. "As per your orders and those of the Emperor... we have captured this foreigner to bring before you. He claims to be from some land called 'Earth'..."
"... what the hell happened here?!"
[[Boy, I am just really shitty with NPCs lately. Sorry, should improve over spring break next week.]]

ɀ·ვ·ს·მ ჱ ღ Beast's Castle | Outside Train :.
"OHGOD ARE YOU OKAY IS EVERYONE OKAY I THINK I'M BLEEDING MAYBE NOT?" Zeba blurted out at once, pulling herself away from Kyle so as to give he boy space to straighten up.
"I'm okay SorAAAAAAAH NO RAE N-OHGRAH REPLICA!NOELLE!!" she exclaimed again, merging all the thoughts that crossed her mind into one long clamor. Thankfully, she hadn't rushed towards the Replica this time; fortunately so, since she would probably be in two separate pieces on the ground if she had.

[Jenny :: BC/HT :: Outside Train]
Jenny tried to shake the loose screws in her head that probably came apart at the blast. Images were still slightly foggy for her but aside from a few scratches, she was relatively okay. Except for maybe the shock of living side by side with a replica knowing full well that she could've skinned them all alive if Arabella woke up on the wrong side of the bed at all.
The mage's eyes immediately widened at Rae's shout only not to find her there. She followed the healer's heart song right as they reappeared at the edge of the trees. What does she think she's doing?! Jenny's eyes narrowed in contempt, she had no mana to perform a Stop spell strong enough to hold a replica in place, even if she had all the mana in the world... her magic just wasn't up to par. "Let her go!"

[ Kyle ; Sora : HT/BC : Outside Train ]
Both Kyle and Sora had summoned there weapons; however, Kyle was somewhat less quick to stand, due to the impact of both the spell and Zeba. Regardless, he stood stock-still, eying the scene with a worried eye. They were all drained. They couldn't pull a plan like they had with Oogie- she was too close, and they simply didn't have the mana.
Though the bickering was, over-all, amusing, there was a flare of rage at Cory's comments; in a brief lapse of composure, Elleon glared at the ronin. Before he even had a chance to react, his entire body was submerged in solid earth. Only his head and the tip of the Revblade remained poking out of the ground, and even if he attempted to pull the revving mechanism, it was filled with earth and debris, unmoving. Thick vine-stalks had simultaneously sprouted from the ground, wrapping around the lower half of Cory's head and acting as a gag, making it so that the rogue couldn't even speak.
"Now that that's taken care of," she muttered, regaining her composure and glancing back to the others. Her face always seemed pretty angry or disgusted, so it was hard to tell if she was in a better mood or not.
"Ajora sends his most sincere condolences. We didn't expect this little wretch to still be alive after handing her off to Oogie," she said, glancing down at Rae and lightly slipping the spear blade against her throat. "He wants the lot of you to improve- having this little b!%@# heal you any time you're hurt defeats the purpose. So, I'm here to finish what Oogie couldn't."
In a forceful movement, she drew her free hand away from Rachel's ribcage, and the girl gasped in pain; bolts of energy swiftly drew out a glowing red heart, and by the time any had a chance to react, Elleon had swiftly kicked the left-over body toward Joseph with enough force to knock him down.
"Later, f&@#ers," she said, keeping the heart in her hand as she jumped back into a Corridor of Darkness, which slowly began to close up-
"Come back, coward!" Noelle shouted with shocked fury as she dashed forward, following the replica into the corridor, which shut immediately after.

[Dawn : HT/BC : Outside Train] "Sides this lump on the back of my head and my back feeling like sand paper, I am just dandy," Dawn answered Sora, "Thanks for asking." She slowly started to stand up, trying her best to ignore the pain. Then she heard the scream, and her body rushed to a rushed stand. Dawn just barely keeping herself from falling over from the speed in which she stood and her own clumsiness. Her eyes darted around to try and figure out just where the scream came from. Her eyes landing on the source and reason for the scream. The two girls, Rae and what she could only guess is a replica, cause well the original, well the one she hoped was the original, had been with them the whole time, reappeared. 'Oh no...' she thought to herself in fear for Rae. She may not know the girl, but she didn't want her to die. She summoned her Tessen into her hands, she was ready to make her move, but there was nothing to do. She could only watch as Elloen stole Rae's heart and retreat into the dark portal, followed by Noelle. The portal closing behind them. Dawn stood there frozen.... The one they worked together to rescue just had her heart stolen. As another was lost inside a dark portal.... [Mulan & Mushu : LoD : Throne Room] Mulan heard everything the guard said. Her heart was racing with a heaviness at the mere thought that he maybe dead. She couldn't imagine what China would be like without him on the throne. The one leading and guiding them all.
"He-He's breathing again!"
"And his heart! It beats!"
Mulan for a moment she imagined those words, but they were soon followed by the sound of the Emperor's voice. She wiped the tears that were in the corners of her eyes and looked up when he spoke her name.
"Your Majesty..." she said softly, before she started to explain what hand occurred, "The man Jafar, he attack us..."Mushu watched with great interest as the guards entered with yet another strange boy. The small dragon walked between the soldiers' legs and right to the young man's legs and poked his foot.
"He looks like another one of those strange ones..." the dragon said, "Another one from where the other strange ones are from, judging from his weird clothes."
With that the dragon looked at Amy, Kyle, and all the other Earthlings he had seen when the guards hand captured the last group.

{James : HT/ BC Outside Train} {{Cue : Fury}} "Noooo!" James yelled out as he watched the sight unfold before his eyes. A look of sheer rage on his face as he watched Elleon take out Rae's heart and then kick her body right at Joe. "Damn you!" He yelled as he raised his hexagun once again and this time fired two shots at the replica as she retreated into the dark portal with Noelle following right after which he hadn't even noticed... so it was a good thing the shots hadn't reached until the portal was already gone. 'No Noelle!'James then fell to his his knees, his fist slamming into the ground in frustration... They had lost another one... just as they had watched Cory die, even though he came back. He had a strong feeling that Rae wouldn't... He shook slightly as he stayed there kneeling. His hexagun fell out of his hand and onto the ground. "No... It can't be. She took her heart... that heartless monster!" James was filled now with rage and sadness as he stayed on his knees. Though he hadn't really gotten the chance to know Rae all that well, she was the first one to reach out to him when he first showed up. This was the eternal fate of a white mage he knew that but still... "They will pay for this... we will make them pay..." {General Li Shang : Land of Dragons : Throne Room}
Shang was filled with worry as the guard reported the condition of the Emperor to him and then relief as he was suddenly surprised by the fact that the Emperor was breathing again and his heart was beating.
"Your majesty. It is as Mulan says. When he made you flee Jafar summoned a giant Heartless to try and kill us all."
He then turned his attention to the guards who entered the throne room bringing with then another person from earth and then the reaction to the damaged throne room.
"We will explain it all later. Let him go!"
