The setting; the keyblade graveyard, the time; dawn, and not too far off from sunrise. A black orb of darkness had manifested itself in a crossroads of the wasteland, slowly growing in size until it was large enough to fit someone of average height inside of the egg-shaped dome. As soon as the sun broke over the horizon and shone its light on the desolate valley, the orb began to dissolve, the light from the sun slowly burning away the darkness, and revealing a young man, looking to be in his late teens. As the light broke through the orb of darkness surrounding him, the boy started to stir as light shone on his face "…Nnnnngh…Who turned on the lights…"
The sudden realization forced his eyes open and sitting upright, the rest of the darkness surrounding him vanishing in an instant "I made it! I actually escaped that hellish place!" The boy shuffled around, slowly getting up from his sitting position, propping himself on one knee, before finally managing to get himself standing on both legs. He inspected his body, everything seemed to be in place, nothing lost to those monstrous creatures he fought in that dark world. Once he was sure everything was where it should be, minus his favorite swords, which were likely still in that world, he began looking at his surroundings. "…But where exactly did I escape to? This definitely isn't my homeland…" A sudden growling soon signaled that he needed to be fed, and fast "Man, I am starving…Just how long have I been asleep?"
Clutching his stomach, and looking around, he picked a path and started walking "Alright Arin, no point standing around…Might as well find something to eat before you die of starvation…"

Night gazed at the surrounding wasteland of lifeless keyblades scattered before him. It seemed like a depressing place indeed because it was nothing but the reminder of a war fought long ago. Night was not and expert on the story behind the war, but he could guess from his surroundings that it didn't end well.
The sun began to show itself from over the horizen and Night shielded his eyes from the suddent brightness. With the sun know rising Night could being exploring this new place. Darkness was a strange thing, one moment he was calmly drinking a tea in Traverse Town the next he was falling into a dark corridor that spit him out here. Night couldn't see any sign of civilization at all and that kinda worried him. "Oh boy, just great, dumped in the middle of nowhere!" Night sighed as he absent mindedly pick up a decrepid keyblade and swung it around a few times. "Geez how do people use these?" mumbled Night as he stabbed its tip back into the ground.
Just then Night's sword of Darkness pulsated a dark aura. "Uh oh darkness near by" he exclaimed as he jogged up to the end of a cliff edge to get a better view. Of in the distance Night could swear he could make out the shape of another person.

Jace jerked up awake as he released the ship he was on came to a screeching halt, "Alright sir we are at your destination that will be 1200 munnies!" the driver chirped cheerfully. Jace got up and yawn as he motioned to Twilight 1, his personal robotic probe, to hand the driver his money; Jace then quickly got off as he watched the ship take off back into Gummi-Space. Jace let out a soft yawn as he looked around his surroundings, a bit groggy it took a second or two for Jace to realize where he was, "What the hell? Where am I?!!" he thought to himself as he turned his attention to his probe, "TW1! Are you sure this is the right place we had to go?"
The probe just stood silent as it began scanning through it's memory bank, "I am certain the contract we received gave us the locations to this place, it said that our target is a man Abel who is on the run for multiple accounts for murders and robberies, although it appears our provider may have gave us the wrong coordinates." Jace let out a sigh, "Remind me to have a look at you after he get out of here" Jace muttered as he began walking through the barren wasteland filled with a endless fields of strange weapons; TW1 quickly floated to one and scan the weapon, "Weapon confirmed! Weapon is known as the Keyblade, known to choose it's wielders and can be used as a sword or a key to unlock secured areas; once held great power."
Jace simply shrugged as he continued on, "A keyblade huh? It looks and sounds stupid" Jace thought to himself as he tried to find any sign of life in this place.

A white light flashed in the sky. Out from the sky a figure started to fall to the ground. The figure landed on top of a cliff. Slowly the figure got up to see where he ended up this time. It was none other than Riley O'Malley. He had recognized the place, he was here not too long ago. He looked around, he was expecting to meet someone. He had been traveling with him for a while, and he was an old friend.
Darkness started to form into a figure near Riley. It turned into his old friend, Seamus Cray. They had been traveling together to find Riley's brother, Ren O'Malley. They had both lost to Ren years ago, and had been taken to different worlds since then. Now they they were together again it was time to find Ren again. It would be better if they found their other friends first, but maybe they could turn Ren good again without them. It wouldn't hurt to try.
"Where are we?" Seamus asked
"I've been here before," Riley said, " But i don't know the name of this world."
" We should look around, just in case this is where Ren's been hiding. You may have missed him on your last visit."

Azelder was simply having fun... at least his form of fun... which being an animal is just a lot of siting around stating into blank space. He begins to feel drowsy and doses off, the Savannah around him fading into obscurity as his dreams begin to take over.
Slowly he wakes, in an unfamiliar place, with nothing nearby, except a startlingly large collection of rusty weapons. He rises his large fur covered bulk off of the ground, a stinging pain behind his ear, where his traveling chips are located. With a toss of his massive head he begins scouring the horizon for any signs of life.
He lets out a growl and begins to look around, for any sort of wildlife.

Arin heard some growling nearby and started glancing left and right, trying to find its source. He could also feel a dark presence in the distance, and then another one not too far from the others *Did they follow me from that world?* With no weapons of his own to fight with, he began scouring the wasteland for anything that he could use that fit him. Among the key shaped weapons, he was surprised to find a pair of actual swords laying on the dry ground. Hurrying to the twin blades, Arin was on guard and ready for action as soon as his hands grasped hose two swords.
Getting a good look at them, the broadsword-style blades looked old and brittle in places, but still usable for at least a disposable weapon battle. Bracing himself for combat, Arin started scanning the graveyard for any movement "Alright, who's out there? Go on, show yourself!"

Battre dragged his metal baseball bat in the ground, scanning the area for any heartless. He mumbled under his breath “This is really stupid.“. Looking at the sun, he said in a too sarcastic tone “Oh great.“ and lowered his cap to shield his eyes from the light. He kicked a key blade and continued to a cliff. Looking for any kind of heartless he mumbled quietly “If this zone had spectres everything would be easier and I would have purified this zone already.“ He kicked the dirt and looked for any kind of life.“

Night hear the sound of a gummi ship landing nearby and ran over to investigate. He wondered why anyone would want to come here willingly. Night crouched over a ridge that overlooked where the ship had landed. But no sooner had he caught sight of it, the ship took off back into gummi space, leaving behind a man and a floating robot of some sorts.
Night began profiling the person, trying to determine if he should approach the guy or not. Night glanced backwards to his right sheathed sword, as it would hopefully tell him if he was a light user or not. It glowed faintly, probably because Night was a ways away from him. Oh well Night thought at least im not getting any dark aura from him...
Night chose the option of waiting and watching to see what the guy would do. Sure it was unnecessary but Night liked to be informed on his surroundings before being to overly friendly with strangers. So he waited and followed the man and his robot.

Riley looked for a way down to the valley. They were pretty high up. Out in the distance he could make out other figures. Friend or foe he couldn't tell at this distance. " Can you make out what those people are?" he asked.
Seamus has no idea what he was talking about. All he could see were drained keyblades everywhere. He couldn't help but wonder if Riley's keyblade would one day end up like these. He looked in the direction Riley was looking towards. Besides the figures he could see a robot of some sort. " I'm not sure about the other figures but i do see some kind of robot. Do you think it's programmed to find something?"
" It might be. But why would they be searching here of all places?
" I don't know. But they may know something about Ren. lets go find out."
Seamus lead Riley down the cliff and into the valley. They were pretty far from the others, but could still make out what they looked like. One seemed hostile and ready to fight. Seamus wanted to stay away from him for now, he didn't want to start anything. Plus they didn't want to attract attention, if Ren was here he could learn they are here and leave. Then they would be back to square one all over again.

Battre looked in the distance, he could figure out three shadows, two of them seemed like messed up robots, and the other looked like a human. "Jackpot." He said to himself, and dragged his bat to the place the three shadows where.

Jace continued to walk through the wasteland with his disk-like probe, looking for anyone who might resemble the man he was hunting after until a loud voice pierce the silence, "Alright, who's out there? Go on, show yourself!" Jace quickly reacted by going into his battle stance but soon realized the voice was quite a ways off. "Interesting.... could this be the man I am looking for?" Jace thought to himself; Jace quickly signal his probe to be dismissed as it disappeared into thin air, he wants to investigate this, alone. Jace then quickly used his Light Camouflage to blend in with his surroundings, he figure it was best to take on this stranger by surprise rather than just showing up, and used his Sol Sense to quickly located the man who made such an outburst. Keeping his distance by hiding behind a nearby rock pillar, Jace inspected the man, "Hmmm... he certainly looks like he is ready for a fight but he doesn't fit my target's description" Jace sure would like to duke it out to see what this man was made of but thinks it unfair to attack the man just for pure enjoyment and decided to wait a bit longer before making his move.

Arin was looking around the barren wasteland. The growling had seemingly stopped, but nothing was nearby to cause him any immediate danger. Shrugging off the sudden scare, Arin continued down the walkway until he spotted a stone crevice in the mountainside. Peering inside of the cave, he could make out the faint glow of what looked like a weapon inside of the cave.
Before he could inspect it, however, a cold shiver ran down his spine, feeling a dark presence directly behind him. Spinning around, he spotted a floating, humanoid creature. Purple horns adorned its head, fusing together in the center to form a heart, and small bat wings sprouted from its back in addition to a long, slim tail with a curved blade at the tip. Small angel-like wings formed on the creature's forearms, and in one hand was a large, double-edged broadsword that broke into sections near the top (AKA: an Invisible). Arin braced himself and swung hard with his swords, but the blades collided with the flying monster's large broadsword, shattering the blades with a loud, echoing 'CLANG!' that echoed throughout the valley.
As Arin backstopped away from the monster, several more appeared alongside it, drawn by Arin's distressed heart. These monsters were freakish in appearance, resembling large black spheres with eyes and teeth, several appendages protruding out at random places to resemble rudimentary ears and a small tail. Stalking beneath these were a small army of miniature humanoids with long, jagged antennae that jutted back from the top of their heads. Navy blue markings seemed to be a common trait amongst these creatures. But there was one thing that Arin immediately recognized; their eyes. He couldn't remember much from before he was swallowed up by darkness, but the one thing he remembered were those round, yellow eyes that swarmed around him before he blacked out.
Just the memories of that time forced Arin to lock up in terror. He had nothing to fight with, and his spells took too long to recharge between use. But if he was going to survive, that might be the only thing he would have to fight with. Aiming his hand at the center of the group, he channeled his one and only offensive spell "Fire!" Much to his surprise, a ball of regular fire wasn't what conjured up. Instead, a burst of black flames shot out in a large wave, catching most of the monsters in its path. What was strange was the aftereffects of this new spell.
He felt a pain in his chest, a dark, burning pain was what he could best describe it as, and it was crippling in its severity. If Arin had kept his mind off of the monsters approaching him a second later, he wouldn't have been able to see the dark swordsman swinging his burning weapon at him. With only enough time to react, he lifted his arms up, swords pointlessly gripped tight in his hands, and he summoned up his only defensive spell "GUARD!"
The swordsman's blade collided with Arin's barrier, and he was launched into the cave like a cannonball, bouncing off of the cavern walls before the barrier shattered and he was rolling into a barely lit grotto, where a solitary keyblade rested mere feet from his battered body. Like a pack of wolves, the monsters slowly made their way into the crevice, some faster than others. It was too dark for Arin to notice the smaller monsters had sunk into the ground, and were circling around him for a finishing blow.
With nothing left for options, Arin grabbed the sword that was stabbed into the stone, but he just couldn't pull the blade free. Instead, a bright light was beginning to shine from the blade, virtually blinding in the dark cavern "Whats…Happening?!" Just as the shadow creatures were about to attack, a shockwave of light burst out of Arin's core, knocking him to the back wall with a heavy thud. Falling to the ground on all fours, the light from the shockwave found its way all the way outside, shining like a sun in the barely light mountainside. The smaller creatures were destroyed by the shockwave, but the remaining three larger monsters were still alive, if only barely, and more of those creatures were starting to fill up the room. This time however, the swordsmen and smaller, antennae headed creatures had red markings on their body in place of the blue, perhaps this meant that they were supposed to be stronger? If so, then Arin really had no chance, not with the junk swords he had lying next to him.
Chuckling, Arin lowered his head, resigning to his fate *I finally manage to escape what happened to me…And now they've come to drag me back into that hell…There's no one coming to save me, and my spells are all spent...I might as well just let them finish me off then…* His head still bowed to the ground, he spoke his 'final words' to the dark creatures, his tone quiet and, to describe it any better; defeated "…I have nothing left to defend myself…hurry and get it over with…"

Night heard a shout from afar, "Alright, who's out there? Go on, show yourself!", which he assumed the man he was following heard too because in an instant he was invisible. That's a neat trick, Night thought as he decided to check out who was making all that noise. He sprinted along the ridge till he over looked a huge valley of grey and darker grey. The landscape was mostly fat in the valley except for a small cave that was jutting from the edge of it. He looked around, searching for the source of the outburst before. Just then he saw movement round the mouth of the cave and the silhouette of a person. Jeez isn't this wasteland populated today.
Night hoped down into the valley and made his way toward the silhouette. He then noticed that a bunch of creatures had appeared around the person. Is he summoning them? Night thought as he made his way cautiously towards the group. Then they started to enclose on the person, well maybe he isn't summoning them, but they look like bad news! he concluded to himself as his sword of darkness pulsated in agreement it seemed. The person retreated into the cave and the creatures followed. Night peered around the edge of the cave entrance looking inwards, it wasn't a very deep cave, but it was large.
Night then caught a glimpse of the victim. He was male, about in his late teens its seemed may early twenty's. He was cornered with no way out of the cave. He fired of the strangest fire spell he had ever seen, mostly because it was black instead of orange flames and it tore through some of the creatures it seemed but he was then sent to his knee's in pain, and in that split moment a creature blind sided him, and Night went to call out but at the last second the boy counted with a barrier he just barley conjured in time. He seemed to be in increasingly more trouble so Night went to intervene and maybe help they guy out, but mid way though his though Night saw that the boy was desperately trying to dislodge a keyblade from the ground, but when he touched it, it sent a blinding shockwave of light destroyed many of the smaller assailants. Night covered his eyes and soon the light subsided leaving, to his and the other guys obvious dismay, the three largest monsters still standing. The boy looking defected muttered something Night didn't quite catch and hung his head in dismay, like he was giving up.
He looked like he was finally out of stalling tactics for the inevitable. The creatures moved in for the kill but Night acted quicker. He stepped out into the middle of the cave entrance and just before one of the creatures went to deal the finishing blow Night shouted Blaze Ring! and a ring of fire erupted around the attacking creatures cutting them off from the boy, hopefully buying him some time. "Hey if you feel like living you may want to move while I hold 'em back! night shouted, hoping to get him moving.

Azelder raises his massive head into the air, taking a deep breath in through his flaring nostrils. He smells the scents of combat... but much more importantly, the scent of darkness, a pungent musk that often hangs around the Heartless, and those associated with them. Inhales sharply, and throws his head back, letting loose a piercing howl, listening for any sounds aside from the dull echo coming back to him.
He rests loosely on his haunches waiting to hear any. Keeping his senses sharp he closes his eyes, focusing on s hearing, after all he distance a wolf's howl can travel is practically the stuff of legends, to an observer he would appear to be asleep. Who knows, if there is no reply he might very well fall asleep, not like he's scared of anything really.

By the time Riley and Seamus got into the valley they could tell they were not alone. Last time Riley was here there were only two other people in this wasteland. Now it seemed this place was being repopulated. At least compared to last time.
As far as Riley could see there was no sign of his twin. The people in this valley looked nothing like him. Or any of his followers for that matter. But they still had to look. " No sign of anything Ren related yet..." he said.
Seamus wasn't convinced that this place was Ren free. To him this place was crawling with darkness. He knew the feeling, after all he had test done on him for the sake of infusing him with darkness. Across the way there was cave in a mountainside. It was quite far in fact.
But what he could make out were dark creatures. They certainly didn't look like anything he's ever seen before. He figured it was something Ren created. They seemed to be teaming up on a smaller looking figure. He quickly thought of it as someone being attacked by Ren's creations. Then he saw someone else going in to help them. "Riley someone being attacked across the valley by some dark creatures. Can you get us over there?" Seamus was fast, but he knew Riley was faster. If they has any chance of helping out it was up to Riley.
Riley looked where Seamus was looking. He also noticed someone being attacked. " Sure thing, hold on!" Riley garbed Seamus' arm and started to run across the valley. Seamus had a hard time keeping up with him, but he somehow manged.
They made it to the cave to find a turn of events. Someone just put up a wall of fire cutting of someone else from the creatures while he remained in their path. He figured he saw them attacking and wanted to help out too. They were behind the creatures. Riley's keyblade appeared in his hand and Seamus' two fūma shurikens appeared in his hands.
" Order up!" Riley yelled. " Some dark creatures order your recommended intake of butt-kicking?!"
" Because if so they we're here to deliver! Don't worry about who's paying the bill because it's on the house!"

Jace observed as the mysterious man was suddenly attacked by several powerful looking Heartless, the man did well to defend himself for a time but the Heartless eventually overpowered him, "hmmm.. this isn't really none of my business.." Jace thought to himself. Just before one of the Heartless could land the killing blow another man appeared and created a ring of fire to protect the fallen stranger, "Hey if you feel like living you may want to move while I hold 'em back!" Just then two more strangers appeared, one held a Keyblade while the other held two large shuikens in his hands, preparing for the upcoming fight. Jace rested his back on the rock pillar he was hiding as his Light Camouflage wore off and let out a sigh, "Where the hell are these people coming from? Oh well I guess the man will be okay now since so many people are lined up to defend him." Jace then placed a finger on his chin, "hmmmm... with so many warriors protecting one man it probably means this man is important like a lost noble or something....in other words...worth a lot of money" Jace snickered to himself, "Sure the Heartless are a bunch of animals that kill anything they set their yellow eyes on but three is already a crowd and these people seem to look up to the challenge." Jace continued to relax on the rock pillar as he raised his hands up on his head and looked at the imminent fight about to take place, "Let's just see how strong these people are before I decide to do something about it" Jace muttered as he sat down to rest.

Battre looked at the far shadow of the man and recognized the form of the creature attacking him. Battre smirked sightly, finally, some specters, so there was some here, “I hope the source is near, so I can purify the land.“ he thought. He rushed to “purify“ the heartless. He arrived near the two other strangers, almost tripping, his metal baseball bat over his shoulder. His smirk faded as he saw the size of the heartless and thought out loud “This might not be as easy as I thought“. His left eye glinted as he used his Wide Angle ability to scan the heartless.
Winged Spectre
Health: ? ? ?/? ? ?
A large spectre with bad intentions.
He looked over at the two others, and looked at their weapons, but he turned back to heartless, preparing for the fight.
---- Wide Angle 0/3

Just when he thought all was lost, the entire cave was illuminated by a blazing ring of fire, many of the creatures caught in the center. While He was shocked by the sudden rescue, another pair of strangers approached the cave from behind the monsters, and were saying jokes that seemed odd to him. Shaking off the shock, he spotted one of the shadow creatures rising up from the ground to attack the man who protected him. Reacting without thinking, he knocked the man (Night) out of the way and deflected the Novashadow's claws with his broken swords. The resulting collision shattered the swords even more now, and the force of the strike forced him back a couple feet. His makeshift weapons had barely any blade left to them, only the handles were left, but Arin felt like if he discarded them, he would be defenseless. Arin looked at the man who had saved him and nodded to the door. With a newfound hope that he was going to make it, the fear of defeat was no longer overpowering his judgement "It's too crowded in here to fight this many monsters, we have to get back outside where we aren't trapped!" Not wasting time himself, (since the other man seemed to be capable of defending himself), he hurried his way to the mouth of the cave.
Two of the Orcus (stronger ersion of Invisibles) Heartless flew at the loud pair near the exit, one of which vanishing while its sword flew at the keyblade wielder. The still visible one, turned its attention to the one holding the shurikens, and the odd-looking new arrival, summoning up balls of dark energy that dropped down at them from above.

Battre didn't even noticed the man as he was far too focused on the heartless. He said out loud “Alpha, Omega, at my side, now!“ and in a flash of dim light two rings appeared at his side, he then “Purification in progress.“ in a monotone voice, and ran at the heartless, and tried to use his “Run With Dementia“ ability. The two rings stayed in the same place awaiting any command.

Night was promptly knocked out of the way of an inbound attack from a heartless that appeared at his feet by the man he had just saved. Well at least he was retuning the favour.
The mystery man motioned at the entrance to the cave, and stated that they should get out of this cave so that they would have a better chance at fighting. As Night ran for the cave exit he noticed that two, rather outspoken, people had arrived amidst the battle. Night passed them, waved at them, and continued running. He reached outside and stopped, looking to see if the others had followed. Seriously where are these people coming from? Night thought as he drew his duel eclipse blades. He saw that the condition of his acquaintance, weapons tossed his sword of darkness to him because he seemed to have some darkness in him.
Night saw the monsters beginning to advance, and readied himself. He was glad that these people seemed adept in a fight and stood en guard, waiting.
