Welcome to Gaia! ::

[ Ajora : ??? : ??? ]

"The Heart of Atlantis was never important," he responded, again with an airy tone of nonchalance; it could have been accompanied with a wave of his hand, as flippant as he'd said it. "No more important than the Trident, anyway. Means to an end."

[ Ajora : ??? : ??? ]

"Now now, information isn't free," he responded in a mock-patronizing tone. Louis could feel Ajora practically wagging a finger at him. "I'll answer yours if answer mine: to what end are you toying with and helping these guys?"

[Alice :: Atlantis :: Outside Throne Room]

Alice smiled as she lured Mathy away, not giving him the chance to create any more buffs for his team. She needed to keep him occupied and so far, things were looking good. The animator held out her hand and twirled her finger through the air. The rock stopped within her control and with a flick of her finger, it spiraled upward and crashed into the incoming spell. Debris and smoke filled the area as Alice warped the fragments and objects around her to act as a security blanket against the falling remains of the comet.

Even though the field was clouded with smoke, Alice easily located her target. She swept her hands towards Matthew, launching all her poison-filled spheres at the mage. The first few exploded at his feet, releasing further toxins into the air that had a chance to weaken him with every breath. Her auburn eyes flashed a dangerous red as she eyed Matthew with a look of amusement. It seemed she had hit a nerve with the blue mage.

She then took a deep breath, channeling the potent poison through her body; feeling as the toxins rushed through her bloodstream (Potent Toxin). Yes, she was a creature of destruction manifested from dark memories. But there was nothing she could do to change that, she couldn't alter the poison that was in her blood... so, she would embrace it.

(Potent Toxin changes the chance of all her attacks inflicting Poison TOOOOO inflicting Toxin/Sap =D YAY ICKY GREEN STUFF)

( EDIT: Don't forget the growing poison fog quickly spreading through the battlefield as of the last Alice post! - Mods )

[[Louis : ??? : Inside a Crystal w/ Ajora#2]]

"My ends never changed. I'll free this world from pain one way or another. My hosts are simply a form of insurance to make sure it reaches fruition from here on out."



[[??? : Atlantis : Inside Kyla]]

"- Hey, I need you're help right now- I want to send Bobbi my power, and perhaps some of yours if that's possible. Bobbi's been touched by darkness already- I saw it back in Atlantica- if we combine our strength we maybe able to put a dent in that seal. It's worth a try you game?"

The presence chuckled, "I'm already on it. Just hang tight. I'll get you out of there. I just nee-"

[[Cue: Reincarnation - Last Harmony]]

Wind kicked up around the girl, a small vortex forming a howling sphere of protection. Protection just strong to save the girl's life, but just a second too late. The arrow found its mark, dropping the girl to the floor, his mental calls to her were unanswered. She was overwhelmed. The best he could do was numb the pain. She couldn't do anything... but it didn't mean he couldn't. He wouldn't let her fall here.

Darkness flowed around the girl, invisible to the others inside the black sphere. Shades of tendrils crept up the shaft of the arrow. In a matter of seconds, it was completely engulfed. After that, the arrow sank DEEPER into her back... but to Carbuncle's surprise, it caused her no pain, in fact, it relieved it. Like some dark miracle, the arrow vanished, practically eaten by her wound.

"I'll take it from here..."

The girl shifted. Her arm lifted lazily and smacked against the crumbled stone floor. Clumsily she stood... her body unstable and stumbling as it gained balance. Shadow weaved its way up her, over her skin, and through her clothes. Four extra, arachnid-esk appendages unfurled from around her breasts lifting over and under her shoulders forming an open centered X across her chest.

"Enough..." in the blink of an eye darkness from around the girl and coursing out of her own body collected into a sphere about the size of a volleyball floating between all four claws as they expanded with its growing size. Purple sparks of energy flickered from within like a miniature storm cloud... those who could see it might recognise its disturbing resemblance to the world-eater storm that appeared in the games at the time of Destiny Island's destruction.

Then without a word, the sphere launched upwards, drawing with it much of the darkness around them. It plunged out the top of the black dome surrounding the combatants. After rising some yards above them, it detonated, muting all ambient sound on the battlefield but the noise of one's own breathing.






Expanding outward, it absorbed everything and everyone above, below, and around the dome to a frightening distance, even drawing in things a short distance outside its reach. After reaching its limits, it held shape for a short time, then collapsed into its original size, leaving nothing but a crater, Kyla, and the obsidian lily in its wake. The jewel in the center of Kyla's chest shimmered and the sphere erupted once more, this time into an outright explosion of vile darkness flowing upwards towards in a pillar of false flame.

When the dust and fading shadow cleared, Kyla and Carbuncle would be nowhere to be found. Only the lily, scattered bodies, and a massive crater remained to tell the tale.

[Nick :: Atlantis :: Outside Throne Room]

...meh? MEH!? That's all she had to say!? 'Meh?!' By the Lucavi, he just beat the living crap out of two of her friends, and kill multiple guards! Oh, he was going to save her for last, enjoy the sweet, sweet slaughter of Elleon's original. But, no, the plans would have to change. He arched his head, the eyes behind his mask seeming to glow brighter as he stared. Before he could utter anything, however, the world seemed to flip around and shook Nick slightly. He narrowed his eyes, muttering a few curse words before focusing back on Noelle and calling to her.

"My dear, my dear. You just had to annoy me further. If I remember correctly, I left you shut down in Tortuga, and yet you have the NERVE to insult me with your passiveness? Well, say goodbye to your friends. I am going to enjoy killing you~"

He made his dash towards Noelle, sword screeching as he dragged it behind him.

{Bobbi .:. Atlantis .:. Fusterclucked}

"Okay listen, I know it's hard to trust the creepy voice in the back of your head... but you guys are getting your asses kicked. Everything is going exactly how Ajora wants. I can try to help, let me in and together we can try and save everyone from being beheaded by the lunatic with the giant sword or worse. Maybe even rescue- s**t- Incoming!"

I'm not rescuing s**t, man, that's gross, Bobbi thought as she erected an Mirror Wall to block Nick's barrage. She had no idea if this entity thing could hear her thoughts, but she didn't much care. If it wanted to share her crazy mind, it could suffer the consequences. 'Swhat toilets were invented for, she added purely for her own amusement.

[Bobbi! Bobbi can you hear me!?]

:Wait, what? No. Kinda busy talking to voices in my head. Can you hold for two to three minutes while I research your issue, ma'am?:

[Bobbi I need your help- yes I know you’re busy- just listen! Ajora has the Trident, and he’s super souped up on power, he’s the one holding Kyle like this, I know it! He’s on the other side of that seal!]

Bobbi blinked at this flood of information, immediately recalculating her plan of attack, such as it was, to include this new piece of urgency. Communications cut out with Kyla for a brief moment, so the Archer turned her attention back to the creepy voice in her head. She concentrated on it like she did to send messages over the charms, and took a breather for a moment to survey the damage her Ice Barrage had done. Which was, of course, not a damn thing.

Dammit.

Look, I'm used to voices in my head. It's the creepy that's throwing me off. Let you into what exactly? I'm--

[Bobbi, the Bow! Remember?! Shiva's Bow! I’ll give you as much of my power as I can and then some- and you use it to shoot that stupid seal! The sooner we stop Ajora, the sooner his grip on Kyle can be disrupted! Ready?!]

:...Oh yeah, that! Give me two seconds!:

Hear that, creepy voice? Two seconds.

And then the world exploded.

"...huh. Talk about high speed delivery. Still, not what I was expect--"

"Bobbi, I've bought you some time and respite! Keep barraging this b*****d."

:Wha... Oh! Hi, Noelle! Your wish is my command~:

Bobbi added razor-sharp spikes to a Twisty-Turny sphere and sent it chasing after Nick. It was the best she could come up with considering everyone and their mother was being all distracting and blowing the world up and stuff. So, like any sane individual would, she started firing off questions to the first readily available person who may or may not have answers in an effort to get things to make a little sense.

What did you do? Where's Kyla? What the hell happened to saving and rescuing and all that jazz?

As she barraged the creepy voice with questions, Bobbi was running along the edge of the crater left by the dark ball of destruction, trying to locate Kyla and find a good place to start beating the ever-loving snot out of Nick since he was one of the most available targets right now. Of course, she didn't hesitate for a moment to take shots at Artemis every chance she got, either. As she got closer to the epicenter, Bobbi began to smell the horrible stench from Alice's poisons, but dismissed it as irrelevant. So far it wasn't doing much but making her feel sick and stinking to high hell, and after living with her brother and his epic farts (plus the neighbors she'd had living in apartments who'd decided that if it was burnable, they were going to light it on fire, stick it in their mouths, and suck on it), she could certainly deal with stink.

[Kyla: ????: ?????]

She was laying on her front in an almost royal, king sized bed with drapes and billowing sheets, deep red fabric with gold trim embroidery. The window visibly frosted over gives off a cool, pale shade like the light shed by a full moon. In a corner of the almost-round room, a fireplace burns though its heat barely reaches her against the bitter cold of the air around the room. Next to the hearth sat a ghost (figurative... or is it?) of a woman, pale and almost see through. Though she was seating facing the girl, instead the woman was watching the fire burn by her side.

The sheets creased under the faintest weight of the summon which paced back and forth over the bend of her lower back. Her dressphere had been removed, exposing her wounds to Carbuncle who works tirelessly to heal them. Without interruptions the creature did have an easier time, but she was still a minor healer in comparison to an experienced one. Aside from the removal of the arrows the ache had not yet been treated and so Kyla was locked in a type of healing coma. Her body was not free to put all its energy into responding to treatment.

Tyue cast a wary look around the room. Just where was this place? That woman in the chair- it was like they had been taken to yet another completely different, maybe even a dimension. The universe of Kingdom hearts seemed completely cut off from this place.

Kyla moaned a little and so the Carbuncle returned to work.
“.…K…le….” moisture gathered beneath the lid of her eyes and slipped down her cheeks into the sheets and pillows beneath.

Somehow she knew. Deep down.

Kyla knew she lost him.
