Welcome to Gaia! ::

(you may recognize this from earlier kiante lol)

Meanwhile, Scuro walked into a strange old castle, said to be called Hallow Bastion. As he progressed, he found an odd altar, obviously battle scarred. "So, this is the place...This place is where we will find the, Dare-I-Say, "Key" to Sora's destruction." He walked around as he studied crevices in the floor, ceiling, and walls. "And this is deffinately Riku's...or should I say Xemnas' work...That fool wasn't lying, this was a fight only sora could start, I can't believe we let him get away with this. "My castle, I was the inherant! And he destroyed this place. Perhaps if Kiante saw this, he would switch his side. No, no that is not the answer, It will be to the eternal glory of this place that I demonstrate my power, for his witness!" He slows his speech and starts to speak with a lowered tone, "Condemn this...All to Kingdom Hearts..."

((Um...Kiante's not his real son. Jeki is. Kiante was kind of an adopted son. But you need to edit your post. And just a side-note Leo, it's DOUBLE parantheses for OOC please, thank you.))

Kiante didn't wait for Rydia's answer, he grabbed her, holding his arm around her throat, and started dragging her back to the ship bay where he and Merah had landed. "Tell me how to open the gate so we can fly out of here. Don't try any funny business, I won't hesitate to kill you this time." Kiante said coldly.

Raven slowly walked down the hall toward the main debriefing room. He hadn't had a mission today so far, so he decided to spend his time going for a slow, calming walk. He was somewhat glad to finally have a small break from all these missions. It was always mission after mission. Want to take a quick nap? Forget about it! There are more important things to do!

He sighed as he was passing the ship bay. He heard voices, but really didn't want to bother with what they were saying. He did, however, look up to see just who exactly was talking in such an angry tone. Angry tones weren't uncommon on this ship, but something in him told him that something was strange about this certain angry tone. The group passed by in a hallway intersecting the one he was walking on; a girl, a boy, and a dragon made up the group. At the sight of the large dragon he stopped short. Now he knew for a fact there were no dragons on this ship. With that being the thought, the boy accompaning the dragon must be who Jeki was seeking to destroy. Raven couldn't remember the name.

Without any more hesitation, Raven broke out into a run towards the boy, for he knew it didn't look as if the boy was being escorted to the cells. As he got closer, it looked as if the boy was threatening the girl they were with, and Raven knew she was part of the SoD as well. Without further ado, he took out his keyblade, the Cerberus Keyblade.

Rydia gasped, and then went through a major attitude change.

That's it, I am NOT going to be pushed around anymore!

She just barely stopped herself from crashing into Raven. Oh, great...what must he think of her now?

Oh well. No time for that. Quick as lightning, she whipped out her bow and hurtled after Kiante. But by the time she got close enough, he was already in the ship. As he left, Rydia launched one arrow, dejected. Wasn't that just great?

"Okay, Kiante, no more playing miss scared shy little girl," Rydia muttered, her whole face one of hatred and anger. "Next time, you're the one who's gonna get killed."

Eventually she turned around to face Raven, transforming her expression into pure shame and embarrassment. Her eyes were downcast as she tried to think of what to say, or what they'd have to do next. She didn't want to go after Kiante and look even more stupid by herself...so Rydia decided she'd wait for his say-so.

Raven didn't expect the girl to be thrown at him, so in order to prevent the two of them from becoming a tangled mess on the floor, the keyblade disappeared, but she had managed to stop herself in time. It was only then that he saw who the girl was, and assumed it was her fault the captive was escaping. He glared at her, but didn't stay long enough to exchange small talk.

The keyblade quickly reappeared, and Raven continued chasing after Kiante, he remembered the name now. However, just as Raven had entered the ship bay, the boy had taken flight with one of their ships. He watched, almost amusedly as an arrow flew passed him and hit the ship, though it didn't really do any damage. He stopped runnning, and prayed that the boy wouldn't crash into the gate, for that would devastate the ship, and would probably be stuck here for awhile until it was fixed; he didn't care whether Kiante got out alive or not. Thankfully, though, the gate managed to open just in time, but there was a problem...Kiante had escaped.

Raven made a low growl from deep in his throat, and he quickly turned toward Rydia. The keyblade disappeared, and he made his way back to her. "Jeki would want to hear of this," he told her in a low tone.

Raven turned back toward where Kiante was helplessly hurtling, heading towards the planet. He looked back at Rydia. "What's the point if he's just going to end up back where he was this morning."

Raven took a few steps towards where he knew Jeki would be, but stopped. An amusing thought came to him, and he turned toward Rydia. "Or he might just end up crashing, and he'd either be horribly mangled, or dead." He smiled at Rydia. "If that be the case, I suggest you do grab another ship, and follow him. I'll take my time getting to Jeki. Let me know the outcome. If it's good, I'll let Jeki know. If it isn't good, I'll leave out the part where you were involved." He turned and continued his calm, collective stride towards where he was previously headed.
