Sir Joffery exchanged a glance with Lady Silvia. White noticed it was a glance of concern. White's eyebrows raised in question. Sir Joffery was the one to respond. "We have never heard of this organization, at least not by that name."
Lady Silvia then pitched in. "We were sent here when my Liege received a distress call. He sent us here to deal with the possible situation."
White just didn't understand. Weren't the Keyblade Heroes all a part of an organization as well. He had always thought that. White had never learned much of his Master's past, but he had learned that he often met with other keyblade heroes. "Maybe I'm just confused, but... Aren't you all part of the same organization?"
Lady Silvia shook her head. "Not exactly... At one point it was believed that Keyblade Heroes all lived in a single world. However a great war broke out among those who had turned from the light. This was hundreds of years ago of course. My Liege is one of fifteen Keyblade Masters. Each have their own pupils of course. Some have more."
"I think it would be alright to tell them of our troubles my lady. If these Keyblade Assassination Committee are indeed behind what has been happening, perhaps they might have information for us." Sir Joffery said.
Lady Silvia nodded. "Lately my Liege has been receiving reports of pupils who have gone missing among the other masters. We are not quite sure what is behind these disappearances, but perhaps this organization has something to do with it. What do you know of them?"
White glanced over at Darius. He knew one thing. Darius's sister was now a part of them. White though sympathized with his friend. He couldn't betray Ivory. Not yet. Not when there was still a chance that they might save her. So instead White told them of his travels. How his master had been killed by one of these committee members.
He then went into the story about how he had met Darius and there encounters in Halloween Town and there problems in Wonderland. For the most part he mentioned nothing about Ivory's involvement with the organization, or any suspicions they had that she was. He merely explained that they believed her to be captured by the organization, which she was. And finally he spoke of the one who had led them here. How she was a part of this same organization, yet had helped them.
Sir Joffery and Lady Silvia had remained silent, keeping there expressions blank for the most part as they listened to the story. "There are a couple of things about your story that I don't understand. From what I know, all Fifteen of the original Masters are still alive. What was the name of your Master?"
White blinked. The name of his master? Well it wasn't that important of a secret. Just his Master had always been a private person. He had even told White that he should be referred to as someone else while in public. But these people probably would have known his master. They needed information. "Justice... Justice Wilder."
The eyes of Sir Joffery and Lady Silvia opened wide in surprise and astonishment, and there mouths hung open so wide, White thought they might fall to the floor.

Darius hadn't really noticed the looks that Lady Silvia and Joffery had exchanged. He was too busy just keeping himself from falling into what haze his mind was threatening to fall into. He could hear their voices and understand what was being said though. Darius just had to force himself, for now, to focus on that. Apparently, neither had heard of the committee before. At least, not in the name that White had described. All they were doing here was to answer a distress call and handle what they were put up against.
He hadn't bothered looking up until White questioned them about being a part of the same organization. Obviously, he meant the keyblade warriors. Darius didn't think it would make sense if the enemy committee was a branch of the keyblade warriors' organization.
Darius listened to what Lady Silvia was saying about her organization. Not all of them really were and there had been a time before where there had been a world of them. However, a war had broken out long before now and they had gone their separate ways, the survivors. Once she was finished, Joffery suggested they mention their troubles to see what information that White and Darius could have in exchange for them.
Apparently, pupils of keyblade masters were disappearing mysteriously. Darius already guessed at what might have happened to at least three of them. He didn't even look up at White when the thought of what Ivory did came to him. She was gaining enemies all around her. If things kept up, he wasn't sure if he'd be able to hide her trail anymore. Did he even want to? Well, there was still that slight chance that he could pull her out of what had happened and try to make her repent for what she had done. Really, was that really his sister back there? What had Smiles done to her?
When White finished, Darius breathed in long. He added in parts as to how he got where he encountered White. Most of everything that had been said by White accounted for their travels so far. Darius wasn't sure he wished to share with them the fact his sister had murdered a keyblade warrior in Wonderland though. He chose to keep silent on that part but hated every moment of keeping it quiet. He felt ashamed to be withholding that kind of information.
He looked between the three when Silvia stated that all original fifteen keyblade masters were still very much alive. The fact made Darius blink in confusion. White had been so certain his master was a Keyblade Master. Did they forget that there was a sixteenth or was there more to this story? Darius glanced over at White, wondering what he was going to say.
When White stated his master had been Justice Wilder, the name seemed to greatly effect Lady Silvia and Joffery. Why? Had White's master been involved in more than what he appeared to have been? "Something....wrong?" he inquired.

Lady Silvia was the one to answer Darius's question. "Well were just a bit surprised and confused. Justice Wilder hasn't been seen in over twenty years."
White found himself suddenly very much more interested in where the conversation was turning. He did not know much about his Master's past, nor did his master ever share it with him. "Why did he disappear? What can you tell me about him?" In the back of his mind, White knew there were more important questions to ask, and more important subjects to talk about. But he couldn't help himself.
Lady Silvia turned to White. "I don't know exactly. My Liege hasn't informed me of the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. However everyone knows Justice Wilder as the hero of the Land of Dragons. He single handedly saved the world when a man known as Skull tried to destroy it. However like i said, no one has seen him after that incident. It is assumed he was dead."
White had always figured his master was a hero. But he had never thought he would be a hero even among other Keybladers. It surprised him and yet saddened him at the same time. He was sad because he knew he would never see his master again. And that he had died so easily at the hands of the enemy.
Sir Joffery seemed to sense White's mixed feelings because he put a hand on White's shoulder. "You should visit his family. I am told they thrive in The Land of Dragons. They might have some answers you seek."
White could only nod in agreement. Lady Silvia then addressed White again. "There is just one other thing I am confused about. You said that the creature that jumped out of the mage was the same that jumped out of the dead pupil you saw in the vision. What do you know of these creatures? They are not heartless. Nor nobodies, or even unversed."
White shook his head. He really didn't know much about these creatures. Then again he didn't know much about what a nobody or an unversed was either. Suddenly a thought did come to him. "Wait. There was an orb left by the mage at the beach. Perhaps that might explain things better. Because I don't really have an answers."
Glancing at Darius, White waited for him to stand so he could lead the way.

Darius furrowed an eyebrow at what Silvia had said. Justice Wilder hadn't been seen for over twenty years? He glanced over at White. Surely, he'd be wondering what his master had been doing before meeting him. Darius knew he'd want to know things like that. In fact, there was that mystery behind his and Ivory's parents' death. The fact it was merely mentioned as an accident, but no given detail as to what happened, Darius still wondered if it really had been an accident or not. He had never troubled Ivory with that thought but he wondered if she had ever thought the same thing. Ivory, after all, had been much more keen of mind than he had been.
Quietly, Darius listened as White questioned them about his master. From what they could tell him, he had been a hero in The Land of Dragons. He had saved that world from a man named Skull. After that, his whereabouts were unknown. Darius guessed as soon as he had left the world, was when somewhere down the line, he met White as his master. White had been fortunate to encounter such a man. Sad that the man had been murdered by the committee. Darius could understand why White could hate them so much.
White's face had fallen after their exchange. Pulling out of his mental problem only just enough to look over at White with concern, Darius watched as Joffery approached him and placed a hand upon his shoulder. White's master had family back in that world and may be able to answer any questions White had. Darius hoped they could. He knew and would understand if White wished to go and see them.
It wasn't long before the subject turned to the creatures that had come out of the bodies of the dead. Darius pulled himself together a bit. "We don't know the names to them." Really, they didn't know much about them except these things came from people's bodies after taking them over.
Then, White mentioned that an orb had been left on the beach. Darius looked over when White had finished mentioning this. Getting up, he nodded at White before wordlessly heading back over to the beach where White's fight had taken place. It didn't take very long for them to trek the way from where they were to the beach. When they had, there was the black orb resting in the sand, shining brightly from the flames and bright rays of the sun glistening off its inky black surface.
Walking right up to it, Darius looked up and waited for the others to stand nearby. "Alright...here goes nothing." Really, he didn't want to pick it up and see if Ivory were present in this thing's interior considering it had been traveling with her. How much, he couldn't be sure but this was surely to open up a lot of answers so there was no way that he couldn't. Sighing, he bent down and picked up the orb in his right hand. As he did so, they found the world around them shifting.

White accompanied Darius and there two new allies back over to the beach. Sort of fearful to pick it up himself, White was greatful that Darius picked it up. Once again, the moment he did, the world around them ceased to exist.
Once more they found themselves watching a very different scene. White figured they were in some sort of jungle. There were two things that pulled White's attention though. A male, no older then White and Darius with brown eyes and curly brown hair, had a keyblade in his hand and a broadsword sticking out of his gut.
"Lord Marcus!" Lady Silvia shouted. Sir Joffery, reacted sooner then she could though. He was running right towards the hurt teen. He even bent down to catch him as the blade was pulled out and his body began to fall to the ground. However the body simply passed right through Sir Joffery as if he didn't exist.
This made him jump back and even made Lady Silvia gasp. "I don't understand..." She trailed off.
White spoke up then to the both of them. "These are just passing images. Were pretty sure there from the past."
The owner of the broadsword was a man totally donned in red plated armor, everything from neck to toe was covered. There was a jaw guard that protected the bottom half of the owner's face, but nothing above. Finally a black cape dropped from his shoulders. With spiky hair and eyes sharp like a raven he simply stood there as the remainder of the teen's life passed.
As White watched this man, he wondered if he was part of the committee. After all they were the ones responsible for the other vision. Sure enough, it was only a second before the same dark blue creature appeared. White expected it to jolt off like the other one had. It surprised him to see that it did not.
The creature opened its mouth to speak, but no words came out. To his surprise the man talked in a muffled voice. "Yes...... No...... Yes....... I am he....... You are a Fissure. Do not worry, with my help we will all be complete."
The creature ran from the ground and up the armored man's leg as it disappeared within the man's armor. Then the scene shifted and dissolved like dust. In its place, White and company found themselves in what appeared to be a cave. Inside the cave all that could be seen was the outlines of the walls made by the torch in the armored man's hands.
He had his arm extended and White watched a creature, White assumed it was the same one, climb out of the armored plate and grow back to its original size. At that moment White heard the scream of a man. Sure enough at the feet of the armored man was the mage. His arms were tied by a rope to his side. Though he squirmed, the armored man's boot held him in place.
Similiar to the vision from Halloween Town, the creature made its way into the man's mouth and his eyes went from a regular brown to a yellow. And then the squirming stopped. The armored man removed his boot and the mage stood tall.
"Come... meet your brothers and sisters." The man mumbled through the jaw guard. And then the vision ended. White was glad to be back on the beach and out of the whack of what had happened. However looking at Sir Joffery and Lady Silvia it was quite clear they were shocked and shaken. White remembered he was when he first witnessed those visions.
"That was...." Sir Joffery started to say, but couldn't finish. He really didn't know what to say, or how to say it.
Lady Silvia turned to White and Darius. "I am sorry sirs. But I must take this information to my Liege at once. He will know what to do. Thank you for your help, I have a feeling our paths will cross again. Though if you are ever in the Enchanted Domain, come look for us at the Castle."

Darius wasn't accustomed to the world shifting around him but how else was it to be done? White didn't look too keen on picking the orb up himself. Lady Silvia and Joffery wouldn't know to keep hold of the orb in their surprise. So, Darius took the initiative to grab hold of it and take them all for the wild ride into the past.
It was difficult not to feel off kilter when the surrounding area had shifted dramatically. In fact, Darius had to force himself to stay put when it happened. If he didn't, he would have lost balance and found himself on the ground. As the scene changed, Darius noticed they had suddenly wound up in the middle of a jungle. Standing there was a male about their age holding a keyblade. Something wasn't quite right though.
As Darius allowed his eyes to further inspect the guy, he realized quickly enough as to what had been wrong with him. In the middle of his navel, sticking out, was a bloodied broadsword. It made the hairs on the back of Darius's neck prickle. He wielded a broadsword. Hopefully, with all that had happened, he wouldn't find himself losing his mind and go on a killing spree. Taking his mind off a dark thought such as that, trying to shield his mind from the memories that would overcome him, Darius made himself look for the owner of the weapon that had just skewered this keyblade warrior.
Before he could find the owner though, Lady Silvia shouted out to the warrior. Apparently, his name was Marcus and he was one of their's. Joffery reacted before any of them could move. Rushing over, he tried to do what Darius had tried to do for Ivory when he saw the scenes the orb played out for the first time in Halloween Town. Just like Darius, Joffery was passed through as if he hadn't been there at all. Marcus lay dead on the ground and his murderer was revealed.
Darius's eyebrows rose a bit. The man had impressive looking armor but ominous. It reminded him of Ivory's black armor, giving off that mysterious, dangerous vibe. Unlike Ivory's though, it obviously belonged to someone unfriendly. As Lady Silvia spoke, he heard White's response and nodded to confirm it. Silently, he continued to watch as the scene resumed to play out before them.
The man watched as the teenager died. As he did so, the same blue creatures Darius and White had seen appeared before him. It opened its mouth as if to speak but no one heard a sound coming from it. It must've made some sort of connection with the man adorned in armor though for he seemed to understand it despite the fact no words or sound was coming from its maw. Had it communicated to him telepathically? Darius could understand some tidbits of that being a twin. Ivory and Darius could sense how the other felt emotionally and even complete one another's sentences at times.
"Ah, so those things are called Fissures!" Darius spoke aloud. Then the creature ran up the man's leg and disappeared into his armor. When that happened, the scene shifted into another one. All of them were in some sort of dark,eerie looking cave. Darius's eyebrows furrowed as he glanced around. Even if things went right through them harmlessly, it was still hard to not react the way he did when he was suddenly thrown into a strange environment.
The only thing that was visible was the torchlight that danced off the outlines of the cave's walls. In the center of the scene was the same armored man and there at his feet was the mage from before on Destiny Islands. The armored man kept his boot upon the mage,who was also tied to keep him from moving. As he lay there helpless, the blue creature crept out from the armor of the armored man. As things had happened before, the creature took over the mage's body.
When that happened, the armored man removed his foot from the mage as he stood tall. After beckoning toward the mage, the armored man turned to leave. When he did, the scene suddenly returned back to normal. They were all back on the beach of Destiny Islands. Blinking, Darius looked around to make sure that they hadn't just returned to moments just before the mage was killed off. Once he was certain, he gave an inaudible sigh of relief.
'At least, for now, life will give me that!' he thought grimly. Joffery and Lady Silvia were clearly dumbstruck. Like them, Darius remembered how he had felt the very first time he had touched an orb and saw what had lay in its dark depths. The only one that managed to snap herself out of it was Lady Silvia. Already, she was set on bringing the information that had just been given to them to whomever their liege was.
Darius nodded his head to show he had understood that they had to leave for now. Honestly, he was inwardly glad to be rid of them if only for now. It was difficult to not break down with his mind barely struggling to keep him from falling back into the things he had seen today. Darius wasn't sure if he'd want to visit them at the castle in the Enchanted Domain. Now, he never thought of them as an enemy or anything negative as that, it's just he just wanted to be left alone for a moment. They weren't giving him that freedom until they would actually leave their presence for now.
"Alright, I'll keep that in mind, thanks!" he replied with an incline of his head. "Take care."

White watched them leave. He had a feeling that there paths would cross again. Especially since they were most likely after the same enemy. When they were out of ear shot and finally away, White found himself laying on the ground. After all of that he was exhausted. The residents of Destiny Island had put out the rest of the fires when the visions from the past had ended, so they didn't have to worry about that.
However there was one thing that White hadn't had the time to really look at until now. And that was Darius. White figured he must be devastated. His own sister had turned against him. White could understand the feeling and the hardship that must go along with that.
He glanced over at his friend. "Are you okay?" He asked for the first time since this had happened. They of course needed to decide on there next course of action, but at the moment some things were more important. And Darius was one of them.

Darius turned away as they went. He was glad they were alright but he wasn't sure how things would get should his sister get involved in a confrontation with them. He despised what she had become but he couldn't ever bring himself to actually do her serious harm for what she was. In fact, for the first time, he was conflicted with himself. He knew the right thing to do would be to stop her somehow. What was the right path though, that eluded him. There were too many paths that could be taken to get a result at the end and not all of them were good and the ones that were good, not all of those were realistic.
He sighed to himself, sending his armor away once he was certain there wasn't anymore immediate danger in the given area. Steel pipe strapped to his side, Darius looked upon the beach for the first time but not really seeing it. Even though his pale blue eyes were skimming the ocean's vast size and crystalline blue surface that moved with vibrant life, he wasn't really taking it in. He was a mixture of things. Confused, angry, hurt...the list went on. He knew he should be happy that she was alive but he was scared for her too. Two emotions that were whirling about in his mind with all the rest that he was feeling at that moment. The most dominant of the emotions were anger and sadness.
As if sensing his distress, White had asked him if he were alright. Was he alright? No, definitely not. He couldn't just sit here though, they had things to do but his mind and his heart just couldn't get into it. He was so mindfucked right now that he didn't really know what to do with himself. He knew that he wanted to go and hide somewhere, wallow in misery for a bit until he was done and come back but they didn't have time for that. He hadn't forgotten the promise he made to Mr. Thomas and Arya.
"...No." He trailed off, sighing as he brought his gaze firmly on the bright, white sand below his feet. 'I might not be...for a while,' he thought cryptically. He knew that they had to go but it was difficult for his mind to focus onto the here and now. "Just...what changed her? She's...she's not the same anymore...I barely recognize her." He was talking to himself but it wasn't hard for White to hear since Darius hadn't made any effort to conceal his words to any nearby when he had uttered them.
Clenching a fist, Darius's eyebrows furrowed and his eyes narrowed. Anger finally overtook the hurt that he had felt. "That guy...he pisses me off. Sure, what Ivory's done pisses me off too but that guy is a whole 'nother story!" he stated, this time speaking to White. "I couldn't even hit him, White! I was powerless to do anything! If he didn't make that promise to Ivory, he could've easily killed us!" he shook his head. "...And he said should she find out,that she'd no longer become interesting and he'd kill her...said it so casually." Darius shook his head.
Finally, Darius tore his eyes away from the reds, purples, golds, blues and others shades the water's glistening surface shown and the skies above displayed as he faced White. His eyes were glazed, as if he would shed tears but none were present. It looked like he was stuck in between sadness and rage. Darius had managed to get a hold of himself only just now with his anger before he had shed any. "I know it was wrong for what Ivory helped do here to your home, White...but...I...this just doesn't feel right. I'm not making excuses for her but...this just isn't like her. I plan to get her back...and make her repent for what she has done, fix what she did wrong where she can. I mean, others may want to kill her. I understand if you want to. I realize I must sound stupid but...I just...I can't ever see myself hurting her. I'd fight her but...not where I'd end up crippling her or killing her." He sighed and looked down after that. If White felt differently, he could understand that. Darius couldn't help he was related to Ivory or the things she had done but he had made it clear that he'd try to get her back. Surely, there had to be a way, right? If she didn't let that guy kill them, she wasn't that far gone just yet. There was still some hope left...right?
Darius sighed again. "...I'm sorry to get you into this mess, White. If you feel differently, I understand. I won't make you help me get her back. I can even understand if you'd rather kill her for what she helped do to your home."

White listened to Darius, He could feel his friend's frustration through his words. He wished he had the exact answer to Darius's questions. But he didn't. Sure no doubt that weird smiling man had something to do with all of it. No doubt. However Ivory didn't seem to be forced into acting a certain way. She had done this herself.
There was no real way for White to compare the Ivory he had met to anyone else. He had never heard much about her from Darius even. His friend though claimed that this was not her. That the person he had known wouldn't have killed the people in his home.
White chose not to answer. Not right away anyway. He let his friend talk, let him get out all of his emotions. When he came to the end and asked his opinion, White found that he was torn. "When my master died, I swore revenge on all those responsible for his death. It's been a year now since I first started looking for him. Though I now have more answers, I'm still as confused as ever."
Similar to Darius, White had glanced out at the water in front of them when he spoke. It was easier to centralize his thoughts. "I will help you Darius. I'll try my best to help you get her back. But if she stands in my way... I'm sorry. I will stop at nothing to kill those who are responsible."
That was the best he could do. He would help his friend get his sister back. But if she stood in his way, he wasn't going to hesitate. If Darius couldn't accept that... Well then White didn't know what he would do.

Darius knew Ivory was acting of her own accord when she attacked people here and killed but he didn't think it was anything like her. Something had caused a change in her to make her act the way she did on her own. Maybe she was forced to or at least felt she was forced to? Right now, he was inwardly cursing at himself for letting his own emotions get in the way. If he hadn't, he might've been able to use their twin connection to get an idea of how she was feeling. Being twins, you always held a special bond with your sibling that could never be explained. Even if she had been acting out of fear, that didn't justify her actions. Would they have killed her if she didn't pull through, maybe? Darius mentally shook his head, he was just purposely looking for an excuse to fool his mind into coming to terms with what he saw.
'I don't even know why I said all of that...well, at least it's out in the open,' Darius thought. He looked over at White for a moment. He didn't blame him if he would fight her too. This had been White's home, after all. At least he let White see that he had a means of backing out now if he so chose. Darius didn't expect him to follow him the entire way. White had his own goals after all and Darius understood that perfectly.
As he watched White, he could see a look of confusion on his friend's face. He appeared to be conflicted with things as it is. 'Maybe I did say too much?' Darius wondered with an inward sigh. Ivory might have done what she did but she was all Darius had left family wise. There was no other Quentin out there. No cousins, no aunts, no uncles, no other sisters or brothers and certainly no parents. There weren't even grandparents around for them. It was just Darius and Ivory. So, it was only natural that Darius would want to keep what family he had left even if she had done bad things. He felt in his heart that if he really tried, he could bring the good in her back and she can repent for her sins. He just hoped she wouldn't be thrown in the way during White's quest or she'd get hurt.
Darius knew he couldn't count on White to not dispose of anything in his way when it came to getting revenge for his master. It would be selfish to think he would let Ivory go if she did get in the way. 'Hopefully, that won't happen!' he thought grimly. The last thing he wanted to do was try to rescue Ivory only to end up infuriating the only friend he had made, since the destruction of their world, that wasn't family. It made him sick to think how he'd react if it turned out to be inevitable. He certainly hoped not but they didn't exactly have a great track record as it is with luck.
Darius pulled out of his disturbed thoughts as White spoke finally. He nodded to acknowledge that he had heard White and was showing that he was listening to him. "It...seems like we just keep running into more questions than answers lately." He knew that more than anyone since Ivory's actions and how she reacted to them just blew his mind and left his mind scrambling for answers to the sudden influx of questions.
As Darius had done before him, White looked out at the ocean before speaking again. Darius was guessing this might be the turning point where they'd leave and not speak to each other again. Instead, White surprised him by saying that he would try to help him get Ivory back. However, he wouldn't be held responsible for his actions should she end up in his way on his quest for revenge.
Darius mulled this all over. He didn't expect White to not react the way he would if Ivory should get in the way. Honestly, he really hoped she wouldn't. Darius figured that Ivory's fight was with him though, not White. Hopefully, that's a part of her that he could count on. Ivory never involved others in their arguments or fights in the past. Why would she now? Still, there were events that neither of them could see that might come. Neither knew when they'd end up facing the committee again or even how. Darius just hoped it wouldn't come to the point where White would try to or manage to kill Ivory. Like White, he was torn between friend and sibling.
After a moment, he eventually nodded. "I won't expect you to stray from your goal,not by a long shot. I just hope things don't turn out that way. You're my friend, White...but she's also my sister. I'd rather none of us have to fight each other. However, I won't stop you. I'll just have to try my hardest to make sure I can do whatever I can to try to keep her out of your way. She is my problem, after all." Yes, even if she did end up dead by the hands of White, Darius just hoped he'd be able to live with himself afterward by at least trying his best to stop her. Somehow though, he doubted Ivory would voluntarily attack White or try to impede him. She was angry at Darius, this had nothing to do with White and so she would leave him out of it unless he butted into their squabbling.
'Or that madman orders her to!' he thought nervously. Of course, right now, Smiles seemed the type where since she was so "interesting" to him that he'd not put her in harm's way...maybe. 'I don't even know this guy! How am I to know what the hell he's going to do?' he thought in frustration.
Forcing himself to focus on White, Darius nodded over at him. "Know that I won't hold it against you if things turned out that way. I can't expect you to hold back if she does get in the way since you've waited so long to get your answers and revenge." He glanced out across the beach back toward the town. The flames had done considerable damage and bodies had been removed from the streets.
"...So, should we look into your master's family or should we return to Wonderland and then look into your master's family?" Darius questioned him, bringing his pale blue eyes back onto White as he smiled genuinely for the first time after a while. Darius just had to get everything out. Now that he had, he was able to find some peace of mind and cheer if only a little.

White listened to Darius's reply. It was a fair one, and one that seemed to work for the both of them. That was the best they really could do. If Ivory was in his way, he would do his best not to kill her. Dispose of her if he could, and move her out of the way. But if she refused to let him... White wouldn't be responsible for what happened to her.
Glancing over at Darius he listened to his reply. He could tell his friend was stumped about all of this. His sister had done something that ever hero stood against. And that was what they were in a way. They viewed themselves as righteous. They did things for the better of all. It seemed to White that people like the smiling man, and even Ivory, were only doing things for themselves.
"Darius... Ivory is her own person. I understand that you think something is up and that something is influencing her opinion. But if this has been her decision... You need to prepare yourself that this might be what Ivory has become. That you might have to stop your sister, and not be afraid to do whatever it might cost to do so." White was speaking hypothetically of course. He had no idea what was really going on. But he felt like he needed to say that. To give Darius a small wake up call about this whole situation.
Having said what he needed to, White listened to Darius's question about what they should do next. That was the main question they had to answer now. What should they do next? White wanted to find out about his master. He really did. But he couldn't just leave Mr. Thomas and Arya in Wonderland. They were counting on them too.
"I want to go to this Land of Dragons.... But I feel that Wonderland needs us more right now. We need to let Mr. Thomas and Arya know what has happened here. Decide our next course of action."

Darius didn't meet White's gaze when he spoke about Ivory. Did he really think that Darius hadn't been thinking like that? It was the thing that made him dread this whole situation. It was difficult to think that way. He hoped with all his heart that he wouldn't have to kill his twin sister.
"...You think I don't know that, White? ...It's what I'm afraid of...it's what I hope it won't come down to."
Now that all that had been thrown out in the open, Darius liked the idea of focusing his mind on other things right now. He didn't want to keep reminding himself that his twin sister just murdered people right in front of his eyes. Anything to get his mind off of his sister was a welcoming thought. Wonderland and Land of Dragons were good ways to help him forget it.
Patiently, he waited for White's response. He had been letting his friend know that he was still friends with him by giving him the option to choose. It was a way to show that he still had loyalties to his friend despite what the situation with Ivory might become. They didn't need to get into a fight over it all. That's the last thing he wished to do. Still, he wasn't sure how he'd report the keyblade warrior's death to Mr. Thomas and Arya.
"Alright then, you're the boss right now. I'll do what you want since you followed me here. It's the least I could do." He gave White a nod. "What're we waiting for?" he mused.

White didn't know how he felt about being the boss. He was always the one who kind of went along with what was happening. He really hadn't had to make too many of his own big decisions until his master died. Despite the tragedy of his death, White's master's death had caused him to grow up.
Giving a smile, White reached down to his belt and pulled out the buckle. Throwing it on the ground, the all familiar bike surfaced up from it. This place held a lot of things for him, but he wasn't ready to visit it yet. He had come for Darius, not to rekindle memories of the past. No doubt before this was all over, White figured he would find his way back here.
There were a couple of places he'd like to see when he came back here. His parents’ grave was one of those places. He hadn’t visited them since their deaths four years ago. There was also the house. He hadn’t been there in years. He wondered what he might find there now. And there were the friends he had left back here. What had happened to them? He would have to see if he could find Shulk and Fiorra. They were the three amigos before everything had started going bad.
"Next time I come, I promise I'll come to see everything."[/i] He said to himself. Walking over to the bike, he picked up one of the helmets and tossed it at Darius. Taking his own he placed it on his head and waited for his friend to step on the gummi motorcycle. This vehicile too had belonged to his master as well.
Once everything was settled he started the engine. 'Off to Wonderland then." White said, pressing the gear forward and taking off.

Darius watched as White pulled out his motorcycle and set it down. Immediately, it changed shape to the vehicle he recognized it to be. As White threw him a helmet, Darius caught it and placed it over his head. Once done, he climbed on after White and waited for his friend to finish getting ready.
Once that was all set, Darius nodded to what White said. "Ready! Let's do this!" With that, they were on course for Wonderland. Hopefully,things went smoothly for Arya and Mr. Thomas.
