 The entire atmosphere of the City of the Ancients would suddenly darken intensely, as the sky and surrounding areas turned pitch black. It was obvious this was no ordinary night darkness, as several red eyes began to show in the darkness, ALL focused on Ariel. The newest victim. The creatures varied immensely in both size and structure, but they were all obviously self-aware, and had purpose. Slowly, the smaller ones began to creep toward the rather helpless Cetra, and considering the surrounding darkness, there was nearly nowhere to run. Then, just before attacking, the Shadows suddenly stopped, a sudden gasp going over the creatures, as if they saw something--or someone--who intimidated them."...How are the Shadows here..." Came a sudden voice from beside Ariel, as a grey-haired teenager stepped forward. His voice was quiet, and showed that he was soft-spoken and rarely talked. "Just stay behind me, okay?" He said kindly to Ariel over his shoulder, smiling at her, before turning his sight intensely back to the Shadows... The Shadows that were now rather unsure about attacking. It seemed they knew who they were dealing with...
Raising his hand, a card appeared and hovered above his open palm, a blue flame covering the card but allowing the type of the card--Fool--to be seen clearly. "...Hmph."

??? "This fight... is over!"  Suddenly he closed his palm swiftly, the card floating above it shattering as the teenager shouted, "PERSONA!" And with that, a large, somewhat demonic looking creature was summoned behind him. "Come, Izanagi!" The creature in white raised its weapon, floating there just behind the boy. "...I won't lose," he said calmly, as he drew his katana from its sheath and threw the sheath backwards. "Hah!" With that, the boy charged forward, sprinting through the shadows with his katana, while his Familiar, or rather, his "Persona" proceeded to destroy legions of Shadows with relative ease, using both its physical weapon and the element of Thunder.
Within a minute or so, there was nothing left of the shadows. "This sure brings me back... in all the wrong ways." The boy said, placing the katana on his shoulder as he looked around the area. The darkness receded from the area, and it seemed Ariel was safe for the time being. "...If the Shadows are here, does that mean... there will be more murders...?" He wondered to himself quietly. He didn't want to worry the girl, so he didn't say a thing to her about it. Izanagi nodded slightly to the boy, before it dissipated and the card reappeared in his hand. "...Hm." Turning now, he looked at Ariel. ".... ..... ....You're safe now." He said politely, before walking back to where she was. Picking his sheath up off the ground, he slid his katana back into it. "...Do you need an escort to somewhere...?"  (( OoC: ))

  Ariel could never complain about this place, really, no matter how dead and silent it was here, it was also very beautiful and peaceful in it's own way. Well, at least it used to be. The strange looming darkness that seemed to be growing and covering the entire city in near seconds kind of took away that beauty. ".....??? Pop up thunder storm? " Yeah, that's what it was. Sure! Then came the creepy red eyes that seemed to be popping out of everywhere in the darkness. So now she was living in her nightmares. It was dark, and creepy red eyes were now surrounding her, what?!! "...H-Hey now...I-is this some kind of joke? You guys told me to come here to get scared me demons?!" She said into the air, believing those above had some strange reason behind this. Ancients were the most pure of beings, so how she thought this was just.....an Ariel thing! Seemed she still had her slow moments.
"Okay...I can be friendly with demons...I have demon friends!! Come on! Just go away! " She had hoped by saying that she would trick them into believing she was a friend of demons, which, in a way she kind of was. But were these creatures even demons? She couldn't tell. All they looked like were shadows and they certainly weren't Heartless.
And then, there came a softly-spoken voice that instead of making her jump or panic more, it rather soothed her. Turning to him, due to the darkness she couldn't make out to much details, like his hair color for one, instead she just nodded slightly, quickly moving herself behind him as she was told.
Everything happened so quickly after that, and all Ariel could do was watch the battle play out between the kind stranger and creatures he was quickly demolishing.Her attention went from the teenager to the strange figure that he seemed to have summon with him. And, just as quickly as it began it was over and the darkness began to leave the area, leaving one confused and very curious Ariel! Though, she couldn't help but do a happy little jump and clap of her hands. Everything was gone with no damage to the city, and no injuries! Always good in her eyes. "Yay!! You made them go away! That was amaazing! " Maybe a little to much excitement for one so quiet to handle. "What were they?? ...Oh.." She paused, looking at him as he walked closer to where she was now. "I'm Ariel...um...Can I ask who you are? "
The funny thing about all this was, those voices that drew her here, and even teleported her here were no longer heard, but she didn't seem to notice that just yet. "..Umm..I don't know. Some friends brought me here but I don't know if I have a way back yet..." That must of sounded strange!

??? "This fight... is over!" "They're called shadows..." The boy said softly, not seeming too perturbed at how loud or excited she was. He had dealt with similar people before, clearly. ""The true self..." shadows are manifested from the darkness of a person's heart, and given form by their darkest secrets. It could be that the ones you saw were from your own heart. I wouldn't typically talk about this, but the shadows manifesting in the physical world... I'm not used to this." Turning away as he said this, he reacted to her next question as he slid his katana into its sheath. "My name is..." He finished sliding the katana into its sheath. "...Not important." He said simply.
"Alright. Let's go, then. I'll see you home." He offered, but naturally he needed to know where they were going first. He began to walk forward, though, and the two would eventually make their way out of the city and into the plains... (( OoC: ))

 Slowly, from the depths of the water in the Forgotten City, a creature would arise, its eyes closed until its body had fully emerged, then its red eyes shone out as its eyelids opened. "...If I have awakened... then that means... THE BEAST's coming is nigh..." He said to no one in particular, considering the fact that he saw no one here. His wings gave a flap, as he rose from the water. "My comrades should follow suit... I shall wait for their arrival..." And, to that end, the creature floated towards the shore, perching himself there as he waited for those he called his allies...(( OoC: ))

  Another, much less intimidating, demonic looking creature emerged from the waters of The Forgotten City. The girl's pink eyes slowly opened, and she blinked a few times. "..Huh!? I'm alive again? So that means the Beast..." She looked around the area, expecting that she wasn't the first to come alive. And then she spotted the one she was hoping to see. "....Brooooootherrrrr!" She yelled, sounding almost meodramatic, as she used her wings to fly/dash towards him, though he just easily scooted to the side, causing her to fly past him and ram into something. "AHHHHHHH!" She screamed, before ramming into a wall. "...You suck!" She yelled as she got back up."This isn't playtime, Psi," Alpha said in response. "We have to await the other two-""Yeah yeah, then serve the Beast and prepare for his arrival blah-blah-blah," she said, raising her hand and closing it over and over as if to simulate a mouth. "That doesn't mean you should be so MEAN TO ME, YOUR DEARLY, BELOVED SISTER.""You're an idiot," Alpha sighed out, before pausing a moment, turning toward a nearby wall. "...I can sense you, human. Come out," He said, causing Psi to turn and look in that direction too.(( OoC: ))

Lucina "I challenge my fate!!"  "....' A young woman, dressed in an outfit that matched her blue hair, stepped out from her hiding spot. Perhaps she wasn't as stealthy as she would've liked, at times. Her hand was on the handle of her sword firmly, as she took a cautious step towards the two. "...I apologize for.... interrupting...""You don't have anything to apologize for, girl. If anything, I welcome the interruption.""JERK!""Shut up, you stupid woman!" He shouted back to his sister, causing her to just stick her tongue out at him childishly. "Ugh!"Lucina's grip on Falchion eased up a bit, as if she felt more comfortable now somehow. She actually giggled quietly at their bickering. "Hehe, I'm sorry, but the two of you are so kind to each other despite...""Being monsters?" Alpha finished, causing Lucina to go silent. "...Yes, well, believe it or not, we were once humans, like you." That seemed to surprise Lucina a bit. "...I can tell you're not of this world. Allow me to explain. This world has a river of souls that go through it, keeping it alive, called the Lifestream. When a person dies in this world, it is considered that they are "returning to the Lifestream." Most do just that, return peacefully, however, four people were halted on their way back to the Lifestream, their souls trapped by a creature called "The Beast." Using its energy, The Beast gave us, and two others, a second chance at life and a new body that is similar to the old one, however... depending on the sins we committed in our past, our forms were less and less humanoid. Psi is the least effected, as in her life, she did very little bad, however as you can see, I was not such a good person. ...I cannot for the life of me recall what happened, however... we have no recollection of the lives we led. The worst is Omega, however... he has become so far away from his original form, it is impossible to imagine what he must have done in his lifetime.""...I... see..." Lucina responded, feeling like she understood it to a certain degree. "And so you swore your allegiance to this "Beast?" What exactly is it trying to-" But before she could finish, another fgure began to rise from the same waters that Psi and Alpha had come from, another of their comrades, no doubt...  (( OoC: ))

  The figure that rose, this time, had no wings like the brother and sister did, but he was far from normal. It was easy to see that one of his arms had no skin, being made purely of bone. He had clothing on, or else one could see that many other parts of his body were lacking skin, and were simply skeletal. He has a scythe mounted on his back, and a gun holstered at his hip, the first of the beings to have actual weapons on him."....Greetings, Epsilon." Alpha said.Epsilon casted his multicolored eyes on Alpha, before turning away with a "Hmph..." his right eye and red and his left was blue, interestingly enough. This was a trait he shared with his former life's self."...Epsilon isn't exactly social." Alpha explained to Lucina."But that's okay because he's SOOOOOOO CUTE! So dark and mysterious.... Hee-hee!" Her wings gave a little flap of excitement."Would you quit talking, you idiot!?""Only if Epsilon asks me to!""Quit talking." Epsilon said dully."...." Psi's face just made her look completely heartbroken. "B-but..... I thought we had something, Epsilon... don't you... love me....?" She asked, tears welling in her eyes."No.""Well FINE! I HATE YOU TOO! JERKFACE!!" She yelled, all her "tears" seeming to be completely gone now somehow. Somehow, one had to doubt how sincere her sadness had been."..." Lucina started to feel a bit uncomfortable. "...Perhap I should go...." she said, inching away from the group.(( OoC: ))

Probably because he didn't want to be, with a sword stabbed through his chest it could be pretty bad...Especially if he ran into someone like Sephreia or a Vampire. He cringed at that though, he might not be able to die from blood loss but he didn't relish the thought. The brown haired male looked around to see if anyone was nearby, he bit his lip as he smiled weakly." Good... Means I can do this without interruption. I don't think I want anyone to see." he took a deep breath and shut his eyes, stretching out his arms and taking a few slow breaths. The air began to shift around him, and black waves circled around the boy. His eyes open and he slammed both hands onto the sword impaling him. "Hyarggggggghhhhhh" His voice became distorted and almost like a monsters, as he grabbed the blade and began to try and pull it from him. The dark waves began to erupt around him, sending out pulses along with making the ruins of the forgotten city shake. The blade began to give off its own energy, sending shocks through out his body in a act to try and stay in place. "GRARRRRR!!!!" He roared out as wings sprouted from his back and stabbed into the ground as he decided to take a reckless action. He twisted the blade inside of his chest cringing in pain, "GET OUT!" He forced the blade to slice through his skin, and it came out... It sliced through his chest almost cleaving him in two. The blade sent a pulse of energy throughout the teens hand and he couldn't keep a hold of the weapon the dark blade stabbed into the ground and vanished returning to its owner. Ethan was breathing hard as the wings dissipated and his body began to repair itself. "....." He snarled fangs showing for a few seconds before fading down to his regular appearance,"Dont let it take over....Not yet..."

Cloud Strife "There's not a thing I don't cherish!"  Cloud left the Fenrir near the entrance to the city, walking into the abandoned ruins of what once may have been the home of the Cetra. They had created the Beast, so maybe there would be some sort of answer to it here, but... he hadn't found anything so far. He also came here partially because it was where he preferred to go when he avoided people. He didn't want to talk to anyone right now...
He finally made his way to the place he once watched a close friend die. There, in the center of the area, there was a large, flesh-covered sword stabbed into the ground. "...?" The energy emanating from this weapon was... massive. Cloud could feel it even from where he was standing. But it also felt... sinister. Evil, even. He wondered if it was safe to get close. Then, suddenly,in the center of the blade, an eye opened, causing Cloud to grunt in surprise. The eye looked around the area wildly, inspecting it. Was this sword... alive?
"You..." Cloud heard in his head. "You need strength. You require power to battle some grave threat, don't you?" Its voice was very clearly demonic. It was definitely the sword talking to him.
Cloud knew this thing was some sort of evil, and/or demonic presence. He also knew it was trying to convince him to take it, and while he recognized the danger, he also recognized that the Beast was a far greater threat than this sword. And even if something happened to him later as a result, if he could defeat the Beast with its power, it would be worth it in his mind. Taking a few steps toward the sword, he stood right in front of it now. "'...The Beast is a threat to all life that does exist or has ever existed. It will destroy everything on this world, including you. Are you suggesting you can give me the power to fight it?"
"Yes... The Beast..." Even Soul Edge could feel its power. "If you wield me, you will have power beyond mortal comprehension, for I am Soul Edge, the strongest blade ever forged. Bathed in the blood of millions of creatures, I have a soul of my own... If you use my power against the Beast's, you would have a chance against its power. However, after its defeat, you will return the favor to me."
"Whatever it takes," Cloud said with no hesitation. grabbing the sword and drawing it from the ground. Holding it up, he inspected the demonic looking blade, feeling its power coursing through his veins, creating a bond with his soul. Yes, he knew this would likely end badly for him, but if that's what it took to protect Terra and the world, he would take that risk.
"Excellent..." The blade said. "Then you shall add the might of Soul Edge to your own!"
This blade was a perfect fit for Cloud, as well. Its size wasn't much different from the Buster Sword or Fusion Sword. and he felt he could wield it capably in battle. Giving the blade a few spins, he placed it on his back, before turning and heading towards the Fenrir.
He now had a new tool for battling the Beast... And maybe now, he could feel at least a little more confident in their chances.  (( OoC: ))

 A      "You have made a grave mistake.." Came a unknown voice to the mercenary. As he turned to the source of voice, he would see an older teenage girl, judging by appearance, she looked to be near twenty. though it wasn't for certain just how old she was. Her blue eyes fixed on the blond as she took a few steps closer to him. "You knew what that sword was. You felt the evil in it, didn't you? Taking up more power to defeat the beast is not going to help in the end. That thing is going to use you, you now are nothing but it's pawn. Do you understand? " She was no expert, but she knew evil when she saw it. And even more when it was so easily felt by a non-serenitian. "It will help you aid in the Beast's destruction. And what then, do you think will happen after it is gone? You will walk freely, it will release you? Not a chance! " She moved a little, as to block his path to leave any further. "It will want to bring destruction, and the fight will begin all over again. Only this time, your family, your friends. They will face off against you. You will all fight to kill, you may even succeed in the destruction of your own family. You will not save anyone..."
"You are much smarter then this, Cloud Strife.." She had been in this world for long enough to learn just about everything she could. In the year it had been since the last time she had been in Midgar, she had taken to studying all that she could. Learn what she could to succeed in this world, and of course, send back what she had come to learn to Yuu. For weeks, she had been here, watching this sword of immense evil, she wanted to insure no one had touched it. Well...That job had failed. Cloud had accepted it without any hesitation, she didn't expect it, so before she could stop him, he had already took hold of the sword. "You will not save your friends or the one you love by making them destroy you..Such a thing will only destroy a person. " That meant Terra. Had everything Alisa mentioned come true, the person to have to make that decision would have been Terra, and in that end it would destroy her more then death would have. Yeah, Alisa knew a lot of things when it came to the more popular ones on this world. "It will ether be that, or you kill her when you lose all control of your mind by the help of that sword you now so proudly hold. "
