After looking over the stone Himeiji called the two over. She stated that the stone could be leading them to the next one. There was some type of writing on it she wanted them to try to read. Riley, being better at reading elvish than Seamus, took the stone and looked it over. As soon as he touched it he felt the amazing power it gave off. He was reminded of something. " The power it gives off... it's like one of my elemental rings," he said. He then looked at the writing on it. " Well, the way I see it, it could be a map. The Y could mean a fork in the road, and the X could be a specific spot the road leads to."
Seamus thought about what Riley said. He liked the idea of it being a map. " If it is a fork in a road, couldn't we find it on the map the king gave us?" He asked. " If all the stones do lead to one another we'll have to try to find them all. If the others get one they'll only get half of them and we'll only get half. That and we could end up going after a stone the others already got. We'll have to go back and check the map to see if it is a way to the other stone. And if these stones are like your elemental rings, it's possible they unlock something else besides the sword."

"Hm, well let's go discuss this back at the wagon. We don't want to stick around for those three and make-up boy to come on back." Himeiji said, taking this time to still be as pre-cautious as she was all this time. She gently nudged the two, then started to head towards the exit of the chamber. A thought resonated with her on how Red Riley may be a foreseeable problem in the future, along with the Riley's brother. Himeiji put a hand to her chin and thought to herself. In the case she'd have to combat either of them, she'd have to figure out if she is to hold back, or two give it all she got.
"Do what you feel will be right, Himeiji." Black Heart said to her, calming Hime's nerves a bit. She was always good at figuring plans out on the go, so she know she'd be to figure it all out when it actually happens. For right now, however, she had to focus on getting out of this chamber alive along with her friends. Himeiji looked back at the two, smiling softly, and waiting to see if they had already started on their way with her. A steady hand was kept on the hilt of her blade, though, for she know that it wouldn't be long until the noise they made with the guardian and other Heartless, would stir some more trouble for them.

When Seamus said the stones could unlock something besides the sword, Riley immediately thought of their last adventure. It was very similar to this one, but instead of stones they were keys. Along with breaking the seal on the sword, it made the old wielder of the sword become whole again. It also turned the king and the prince into gods. That was something Riley would never forget. He needed the seven elemental rings, and a lot of help, to kill the gods. If this adventure was going to be anything like that, he was glad he brought the rings with him. He felt for where he kept them, and saw that they weren't there. " Great, I lost them again!" He sighed, he had a problem with keeping up with them. Maybe they wouldn't need them this time, after all they had the upper hand. But they did also have the upper hand last time.
Seamus shook his head. He knew what Riley was talking about. " You left them again didn't you?" He asked already knowingthe answer. " What would you do if your wives didn't always bring them to you?" Himeiji suggested that they head back to the wagon. It would be better if Sasuke and the other three didn't catch up with them. When Himeiji left the chamber Riley and Seamus soon followed.
When she turned around to see if they were following her Riley smiled. " Let's hope that they got lost or something." He said. He then looked down the path. " Race you." He then darted down the path. " Riley!" Seamus called after him. He sighed. " Let's go after him. He's gonna blow our cover if the other three are still in here." He went after Riley.
Seamus didn't have to go too far to catch up to Riley. Riley was at the exit of the cave, looking below to the ground. He turned around and signaled them to come closer. Seamus came next to Riley and looked down. The other three were down below. Ren was there too, and he seemed to be ranting about something.
" I can't trust you three to do anything right can I?" He asked. "All you had to do was find one little stone, but you can't even do that! I'm beginning to question why I even wanted to play with you three to begin with." The keyblader tried to explain, but Ren cut her off. " I don't care what happened. I already had a back up plan because I knew you would mess up eventually."
A red and black portal opened. Out of it came a motorcycle rider wearing red and black armor. She slid to a stop behind Ren. She then bowedto Ren. " Meet Lisa, my cousin. She happens to be a. Trained bounty hunter, and she never fails. I employed her not too long ago, and she's done more than you three put together! She's a much better game partner than you all." He then turned to her. " What brings you back so early Lisa?"
" Apologies for being late Master." She said. " But there were noise spies and a king sending them after me. I had to eliminate them. I do however bring good and bad news. Before eliminating the king I found out cousin Riley is here. He's going after the stones with Seamus and some other warrior. For the good news I bring this." Her voice was emotionless and dry. She pulled out a glowing stone and held it up to Ren. " Please accept this Ren." Ren laughed and took the stone. " I can always count on you Lisa. You might just be better than Sasuke and Nore. Speaking of them... your next mission is to go with them. Make sure they don't get distracted. And also, take care of this." Ren ahnded her a paper. Lisa got up and bowed to him beflre taking it. She read it and then looked at him. " Understood, mission currently in progress." She got back on her motorcycle and left through another black and red portal.
Ren then turned back around to the three. " I know better than to trust you all with this. Not with my brother running around this world. I do however have another task for you. I'll explain on the way. It's time to visit the king's kingdom again, only this time there isn't a king anymore." A portal opened up and they went through it.

"Dammit! That little idiot is going to get us found out. Catch him, Himeiji!" Black Heart hissed and Himeiji was already off and after the boy. Like with Seamus there wasn't much time or distance gained when they had finally caught up with Riley. That was when she and the rest of her group noticed the even larger group of Ren, the three they were trying to avoid, and lastly some motorcycle riding chick in red and black armor. From the dialogue exchanged between Ren and the woman, that was their cousin. No name was given, but Himeiji continued to use the shadows to hide herself, as she looked at the scene from below.
However, her eyes widened when she noticed that the armor wearing woman had handed Ren a stone. That was possibly another one of the stones that they needed in order to unlock the sword. That placed the score at two stones found, with each side possessing one. Nonetheless, more bad news happened to be revealed once more. The king that had sent them on their mission to begin with had been killed. Now Ren and the rest of his group were going back to the kingdom to probably take over. After the revelation of information before them, the group had left.
"...You two know what this means, right? They have a big advantage over us and now we need a big plan. We either continue onward to the second stone, which must already be the one the armored woman gave to Ren, or we go to protect the kingdom. All I can say is that if Ren continues to get more of the people on his side, then we're going to be at a disadvantage. However, if we continue to let that woman ride around for the stones, then we'll be search disadvantage. Whatever you see it as, we lose in some sort of way." Himeiji concluded, standing up and stretching herself out. She wasn't frustrated or anything like that, but more or less worried about how all of this was going to play out. "What'll be your call?" Hime asked, looking at both Seamus and Riley. Her decision was made up. They needed to help the kingdom in any way possible.

Riley watched as his cousin handed Ren one of the stones. " Lisa,"he said. " She's still alive, great." This was just what they needed, a trained bounty hunter on the other team. It was then revealed that the king had been killed by Lisa. Riley hit the ground as Ren sent Lisa to Sasuke and Nore. Were they already close to the third stone? " Damn it! Just when we were ahead of them."
Just as Ren started leaving with the others Riley was about to run after them. Seamus got in his way, stopping him. " Get out of my way! I need to stoo Ren before another world falls because of me!" Seamus shook his head. " You're listening to Red Riley again aren't you? I can tell my your tone. You know good and well we can't take him head on right now. We don't know what those other three can do. Besides you don't have the seven elemental rings with you." Riley sighed as Hime spoke. " There you see? We ned to figure this out. We make a wrong move and its game over. We're already going to have to fight Ren at some point. All seven stones are needed to unlock that sword, that can't happen if the stones are separated from each other. Just like how you need all seven rings to turn into Chaos Riley. We need to either get the other stones, or try to keep the other kingdom from falling under Ren."
Riley shook his head. " We can't let Ren get that kingdom. But we do need the other stones before Lisa and the others get to them. I know Lisa, she's a trained bounty hunter. We can't take her head on either. But Ren went through a portal, by the time we get to the kingdom by wagon it'll be too late. I need my rings. If I could turn into Chaos Riley I could fly us over there or just run there."
Seamus sighed. " Here, tell you what. You and Himeiji go together to the kingdom. I'll go back and try to find your wives. They always have the rings when you leave them right? I'll send them after you two. I know Maple and Winda can always catch up to you no matter how fast you may go. Once they catch up to you allof you can figure out what to do. At the very least it should even up the score in numbers a bit. I won't be too far behind them. But if you do go Chaos Riley and speed everyone there..." He looked at Himeiji. " Please make sure he doesn't do anything rash. Also keep him away from Elves, he can be a whore around them." He disappeared.
Riley's face turned red at that last part. It was true, but he wouldn't admit it. " I am not!" He said looking at Hime. " I swear."

Himeiji was a little off-put by the thought of having split up the group, but if they wanted to cover any lost ground at all, it was a necessity. Riley and Hime were tasked with heading back to the kingdom for an eventual confrontation between them two, and Ren's oddball group. Seamus himself was going to bring some sort of rings to Riley, in order to change him into something they dubbed, "Chaos Riley." Though the group was a bit irrational and combative, they were a solid one nonetheless. Himeiji didn't step in to stop Riley when he tried to leave, because she knew with what she said, plus the level head of Seamus, would bring him back down to earth.
"This will be our chance to give the people under the Queen's control, the idea that we're actually doing good, as opposed to her tyrannical rule. We must take back the kingdom no matter what. Seamus, do what you have to do. I hate to rush you, but please be quick about it. We're a good team of fighters, but we will be outnumbered." She suggested. Hime motioned for them to follow her while they spoke. Standing around was going to cost them precious time, so a mobile discussion was a must.
"I also hate to say it, but we're going to ditch the wagon, pack what we really need, then riding on horseback for however long the horses can hold out. We can't waste any more time, so if we're all in agreement on the plan, let's get a move on." She said sternly, but knew that her partners would agree with her. Black Heart herself was worried about all of this, believing that it'll be her time to shine real soon. Should she have to, there will be no prisoners taken if she could help it.

With Seamus gone to get the elemental rings, Riley and Hime were left to take back the kingdom from Ren, or whoever he put in charge of it. There was no doubt in Riley's mind that there would be a intense battle when they got there. He already knew Hime was capable, but the real question was if he was ready. With his other personalities trying to take control, and the pressure of facing his brother again, Riley had a lot on his shoulders.
With Hime and Seamus' words, Riley knew he wasn't alone in this fight. That didn't stop him from worrying though. If Seamus came in time, this would be the first time he would turn into Chaos Riley against Ren. He had only used it to kill gods before. If he could do that, surely he could beat Ren in that form right?
Walking at Hime's side she explained what her plan was. They would ditch the wagon, pack lightly, and go on horseback. While this may hurt them in the long run, it was better if they wanted to save the kingdom. He then looked at her as they walked. " There's something I have to tell you while I still can." He said. " I am half goddess. My mother is a chaos goddess. What Seamus is getting are the seven elemental rings. They allow me to enter my goddess form. I have killed gods in that form before, but depending on when Seamus gets back it will be the first time I use it against my brother, or anyone that's not a god. Hime... if red me takes over while I'm in that form,I want you to get out of there. There's no telling what she would do with that kind of power. Also if my wives to show uo to help us there's one more thing I want you to do. If that dies happen, I want you to take them with you. Please, I don't want her to hurt them again." His eyes looked saden when he thought about what Red Riley had done. When they got to the wagon Riley went inside to help her pack as fast as they could. " To be honest...I have never been on horseback."

Himeiji continued to walk a quickened pace, listening to Riley's story on how he's half-goddess. He explained this lineage due to his mother being a goddess himself and that he can transform into an even more powerful form, when in the presence of these seven elemental rings. Himeiji was actually impressed that she knew a goddess all along. That was something not on her list of things to know and see, but it was well timed given the situation. Though, Riley feared the Red version of him taking over and wielding that power. He also mentioned his wives and that he should take them far way to avoid hurting them. When he was done explaining, Himeiji would walk ahead of him, turned to face him, and narrowed her eyes.
"Listen to me and listen to me well. If you're a goddess then you have a heavenly duty to keep the peace no matter what the cost. Should push come to shove, yes you may need to use this form against your brother, but you have to understand you must control your power at all cost. The pressure becomes even greater with your wives there. I will take your wives to a place safe, but the minute I do, I'll be coming back to kill you, if I deem you're too far lost to save. Understand that. The only person who can make a difference in this power struggle, is you. Steel yourself for every contingency and do not fear Red Riley. Fear is what allows her to take over, fear is what'll kill you, Seamus, and your wives. Remember that." She finished, turning away from him and going to pack the bags. His help was appreciated, but she knew he had to do some more growing after all of that. Himeiji learned to be blunt and harsh, yet she did everything with grace. She didn't lose her temper and made sure to keep everything in check.
Once the bags were packed, Riley mentioned he never rid horseback before. The young woman would pick up Riley and sat him in the saddle, placed his feet stirrups, and handed him the reins of the horse. She got on her horse as well and smiled softly at him.
"Riding horseback is easy. You can either kick the sides of the horse or whip the reins to get them moving. Steering works roughly the same way. You pull the reins in which ever direction you want the horse to go and they will follow. To brake, you simply pull back on the reins with a bit of your might and let the horse know through sounds that you wish for it to stop. As for jumping obstacles, you'll want to speed it up a bit, so make sure you give yourself ample distance between you and the thing you wish to jump over, in order to get the right amount of speed to clear it." She explained as best as she could. After she was done, she'd look to see if he understood everything and if he were ready to go. "Ready?"

When Hime stopped in front of him unexpectedly Riley stopped in his tracks. He flat on his face in front of her. He looked up at her as she spoke. What she said was harsh, but in his favor. She wasn't wrong, he did have a fear of Red Riley, and fear got him killed in the past. That and doubt.
As she walked off Riley got up and felt his mark. He took a deep breath as he felt all his other personalities inside him. No matter what the cost, he couldn't allow fear to get the better of him. Not this time. He then followed her to the wagon to help her pack.
Once he revealed he never rode horseback before, Hime picked him up. He started freaking out. " H-Hey! Put me down!" It wasn't until she put him onto the saddle he calmed down. " Sorry... force of habit." He was used to a certain sucuubus picking him up, that's why he freaked out.
After Hime explained how to ride Riley nodded. " Right.." he slowly pulled the reins forward, the horse slowly moved forward. After making the horse go a bit faster he stopped. He looked back at Hime. " I think I got it." He then waited for her to lead the way.
( feel free to take them all the way back to the castle.)

Himeiji laughed when Riley freaked out and tightened her grip even more, so that he couldn't thrash free. He calmed down once he realized he was on the horse. She looked at him and winked.
"What's the matter, not used to being touched by women?" She laughed once more and observed his progress as rode forward a bit on the horse. She nodded to him, taking a bit to pride herself over the fact she taught something other than killing to someone. Himeiji smiled, then whipped the reins of the horse. It neighed loudly before sprinting down the path that was going to take them back to the castle.
Hime made it a point that the journey wasn't going to take more than an hour at the most. She lead Riley and the horses down the paths and through the town they had came through the first time around. They were going fast and wouldn't stop for anything. The kingdom and people were all on the line here. The thought in her mind, Himeiji's eyes narrowed and she prepared herself for the impending battle that was going to take place.
Within the next hour, the grandeur of the castle came into view.
"We're here, Riley... I hope you've prepared yourself for this. It won't be an easy battle." She said, without facing the young one. Himeiji put her hair up into a ponytail and made sure the sash holding her sword was tight, and her kimono fitted loosely around her arms and legs.

Riley turned a little red at Hime's words. " That's.... the complete opposite of why I don't like being picked up....." Little did Riley know the reason he didn't like it was about to strike again. Right when Hime passed him Riley followed her the best he could. As they passed the first town Riley sighed. As they got closer and closer to the castle Riley could feel the weight of everything that was on the line more and more. After an hour the castle could be seen. There were now different guards right outside the entrance, and many auras inside, including Rens. Before they got too close to the castle a portal opened up in front of them, right where they first met. Riley stopped in hus tracks as Seamus came out of the portal, with a few people who would be new to Hime. They included Maple, Winda, and Elizabeth. Maple was holding the wagon up with her hands. She set it down beside them. " If you needed more muscle why didn't you just get me sooner?" She asked with a wink.
Elizabeth got on all fours and started growling at Hime. Her wings and tail came out. Riley got down and looked at her. " Elizabeth, down!" Elizabeth looked at her father then back to Hime. Her eyes glowed as she checked her aura. Seeing that Riley trusted her, she stopped growling at her. She then climbed up on Riley's head. Riley looked at Hime. " Sorry, she only trusts me," he told her. " Himeiji meet my first two wives Maple and Winda." Maple and Winda bowed to her.
Right then two more people appeared right behind Riley. They were Nazo and Shade. If Hime checked their auras, she would see they had the same curse Riley had. Elizabeth jumped down from Riley's head before Shade grabbed him from behind and picked him up. Riley started freaking out again, even worse than when Hime picked him up. Clearly this was why he didn't like to be picked up. Shade sank her teeth into Riley's neck. She wasn't hurting him too bad, rather she was draining his fear. After a few moments Shade let Riley go, sticking her tongue out showing her three piercings on it. " There, I drained your fear. There was so much." Riley rubbed his neck, he hated when Shade did that. If Hime checked his aura again, she would see he was no longer fearing the battle ahead of him. How long that was going to last was anyone's guess. " And meet Shade and Nazo."
Seamus shook his head. " So, what's the plan?" He asked. Winda, right after bowing to Hime, started thinking about their situation. She looked at the castle. " Given what I've been told, I think I know how we should go about this." She then looked back at Everyone. " Maple, Elizabeth and I will stay out here, making sure no one else can get inside the castle. The rest of you go inside after we distract the guards outside. Then if there turns out to be more Guards Seamus and Shade you take care of them. Riley, Himeiji, Nazo, that leaves you three to deal With Ren and whoever else is with him. Unless there is something I need to know about I think this plan should work."

As they neared the gates of the castle, Himeiji happened to notice that there were now different guards at the gate. She prepped herself to use Winter's Edge at any moment after that point. The young assassin wasn't nervous, but knew that they were technically behind enemy lines at this point, and she had to be one step ahead of everyone. However, her serious nature was swayed when she stopped in front of a portal, and saw the familiar face of Seamus come on through. Following behind them were the wagon, held up by a young woman, a winged dog, and another woman who came in last.
"Looks like you made it. And here Riley was getting all scared that you wouldn't make it in time." She smirked a little, then turned her attention to the three new arrivals. The one known as Elizabeth, started growling at Himeiji, which made her raise her eyebrow. However, Riley was able to calm the creature down, as he put her on his head, and explain that Himeiji was a friend to them. He then introduced the two as Winda and Maple, the first two of his wives.
"Sou desu. Pleasure to meet all of you, I am Himeiji Homura." She said and bowed respectfully to all of the newcomers. That was when several others had joined the fray. One of them came up behind Riley, bit into him, and drained his fear. A small smile touched Himeiji's lips, but she understood that the fear will come back in time. Once more, she bowed in respect towards Shade and Nazo, once they were introduced. "Pleasure to meet you, Shade, and Nazo. I am Himeiji Homura."
After introductions, it was straight to business. The plan was good and a typical plan a simple group like theirs would use, in order to invade a castle that crawled with guards inside. Himeiji thought about it and given how much time it took for the news to reach them, and how long it took for them to arrive, Himeiji did in fact have an add-on for the plan.
"Seamus and Shade, I highly doubt they were able to take complete control of the castle in the amount of time it took for us all to arrive. I have a hunch that there are still survivors hiding out in the castle walls, so if it won't be too much trouble, while you're dealing with the extra guards inside, could you please keep an eye out for any survivors? We should try to rescue anyone we can, because the ensuing chaos might cause more deaths than needed. Lastly, each and everyone of us should read well into their auras and read their intent. We're trying to take back the land and that means minimizing the casualty count. Spare anyone who doesn't want to go through with killing us and try to get them on our side, while those who wish to kill us... Well, you get the point." She said and chuckled softly to herself. At this point, she was sharing dual control with Black Heart, her other half. The others would be able to see a sort of yin-yang like aura around Himeiji. Part of her was going to enjoy this, while another part was determined to free the land from evil. "I'm ready when you all are. Just give the word."

Seamus looked at Riley. " Really? You thought I wouldn't make it on time? Since when have I ever not made it on time?" Riley looked at him. " Well there were all those times you were a pizza delivery boy." " That doesn't count!" Seamus protested. Then after Winda explained her plan Himeiji added on to it, saying he and Shade should spare those who do not wish to harm them. He nodded to her. " I may not be able to read auras like you, but I can usually tell the difference."
Shade looked at Hime and giggled. " I can't make any promises," she said. " I can get a little carried away when I have fun." Nazo looked at her husband. " Shade!" Shade giggled again. " Come on Nazy, you know me." Riley stretched. " Now that we have the plan settled, let's go!" He was about to run off before Nazo grabbed him and turned him around to face his wives.
Winda tapped her foot. " Forgetting something?" She and Maole held out seven different colored rings. Each of them were glowing with an aura as powerful as gods. Riley rubbed the back of his neck. " Oh...right. Thanks." He then took them and they started to glow brighter. They were then absorbed into his skin. He did not transform yet. He was waiting for the right moment to. He then looked at Nazo and Hime. " Let's go, for real this time!" He than ran off towards the castle with Nazo staying behind. She looked at Hime. " Riley and I cannot read auras unlike my Husband. I'm going to need you to tell me who is on what side." Meanwhile Seamus and Shade were taking careof the guards in cront of the castle.

Hime was honestly glad that they could be lighthearted for this split moment. She was so stiff and uptight earlier, only because trying to get the first stone could have easily been botched, if they didn't focus. Now it was time for them to do something a little bit more simple. Liberate a kingdom.
"Alright, well let's..." Himeiji didn't finish her sentence, because Nazo had grabbed Riley when he was about to speed off. They reminded them about the reason why they were all there in the first place and Himeiji smiled softly. However, the smiled disappeared when she saw the seven multi-colored rings. The rings exuded a power so great, so... Terrible, that it made Black Heart and the blood within Himeiji hiss within her. She kept herself composed on the outside meanwhile.
Thankfully her attention from the rings were broken when Nazo explained that she and Riley couldn't read auras. She needed Himeiji to call out who's on who's side and so forth. Hime nodded and gave her a weak smile.
"I'll call them out, don't worry. Now let's go." Himeiji said and right as she did, six blades formed behind her. They were white, ethereal blades that made it seem as though she had wings. The young woman then sped off and held her sword, Winter's Edge, close to her body. Her hair bounced in it's ponytail from the amount of speed she had put into her sprint. Within a few seconds, she would have closed the distance between she and Riley. "Good luck, everybody! Let's get out of this alive!" She said before completely passing everybody up.

Nazo nodded to Hime, then sighed as she sped off passed everyone. " Why must everyone run so fast?" She then flew after them, flying a few feet above the ground. When Hime got to the castle gates, she would find the unconscious guards Seamus and Shade took care of. Seamus led Shade the same way they went through the first time they were here. Shade impaled some guards with her whip sword. She didn't kill them, she missed their hearts but made it so they couldn't fight anymore. She then started to impale the guards' arms, preventing them from fighting any further.
Seamus was using his shurikens to disarm some guards. When Riley and Nazo finally got there Shade looked at them all. She pointed to the entrance to the throne room. " Ren's in there, with a few others. We'll take care of things here. You three get that stone and this kingdom back." Riley nodded to her. " Let's do it!" Riley sped off with Nazo following him. Riley stopped at the locked doors. He was going to unlock it with his keyblade, but Nazo blew them down with an orb of compressed energy.
As the dust settled, it was revealed what Ren had done. On the throne was the dead King, with a gaint hole in his body. Ren wasn't alone, he was with a lot of peasents. There was one other he was with. It was a young woman with long silver hair and red eyes. Ren seemed to be passing out large sacks of gold to the peasants equally. He turned to face them. " Well if it isn't my brother. Come to help out?"
At first Riley wasn't paying attention to Ren at all. He seemed focused on the woman. " You... Ren killed you! How are you still alive?! And why are you two working together?!" The woman laughed. " We've been working together long before our little disagreement.... but now we're working together again. Say Riley, are you still as unexperienced with your keyblade as ever?" Riley growled at her.
Ren sighed. " Can't we all just get along? Anyway, I must thank you Riley. Our last encounter, gave me a new idea. Instead of just recreating this universe from scratch and getting rid of everyone, I plan on saving the mistreated first. Even now it's not too late, Riley. Join me, and we can finally purify the universe."
Riley sighed and looked at Ren. " Ren.. you don't have to do this. There are other ways to go about your goal. Can't you see you're blinded by your darkness? Look at all the people you've hurt, the people you killed. You don't believe that's purifying the universe do you?" Ren growled. " Don't you dare preach to me about being blind! You are the one who was working with him!" He pointed to the dead king. " For countless years he and the upper class of this work have been mistreating the common man. With many plagues and hunger in this world they still turn a blind eye to these people, the ones who need help! Just like in every other world there has been pointless bloodshed and pain here. But that all ends once my plan is complete. When my new universe if born there will be no more pain or suffering. No more bloodshed and despair. No longer will people have to fight, steal and kill just to survive. There will finally be peace and happiness for all!" All of the peasants cheered at Ren's words.
Riley sighed, his fear was returning to him. " Ren... you have to understand. Even if you do reach your dream, there will still be suffering and pain. Without suffering, pain, and bloodshed we wouldn't have been born. Our father wouldn't have been born. Our family wouldn't exist! We've also been through all those things and more." Ren laughed. " That's because we have the will of the O'Malley's, the will to do anything to survive and be with those we love, even if it means being damned to go to hell. But soon we will no longer have tk resort to such things.... if you can't see things my way, then I'll have to show you want I mean." He turned to the peasants. " I would like to speak with my brother... alone." All the peasents exited the room, but the young woman stayed. " Ren... they're not worth it, please just forget about them and let's focus on purifying the universe. When we do they'll understand." Ren laughed again. " You can stay if you want... but right now it's time for a little purification!" He blinked as his eyes changed. They were now the mark of the O'Malley family. The white of his eyes being black and his pupils being demon like and golden. Riley did the same. Ren through off his coat as his hands sparked with energy. His black katanas appeared. The young woman sighed. She summoned a black and white keyblade. But it didn't stay that way for long. It glowed as it transformed. It turned into a two handed longsword. " Still can't make your keyblade transform Riley? Didn't think so. After all you failed the mark of mastery exam three times."
Riley growled at her. " I'll kill you!" His hands started glowing with divine power. His twin goddess blades appeared. " I'll show you... I'll show you all!" He charged at the woman recklessly.

As they entered the castle, Himeiji didn't miss a beat. As soon as the first wave of guards came through, Himeiji lunged to them and used the blunt end of her blade and seemed to seamlessly break through their armor, rendering them unconscious. Whenever they got too close, Himeji mixed up her attacks using her martial arts and showed her physical might, by shattering helmets with kicks and punches, when they connected. Through all of the chaos and fighting, Hime remained calm and collected. She eyed down each and every guard that came to her and fear struck their hearts. Hime used their hesitation to dispatch them all quickly.
The entrance to the throne room was in sight. Seamus agreed to help stay behind and clear the way, while Hime, Nazo, and Riley confronted Ren. She followed right behind Nazo and Riley, eventually coming to the closed doors. Riley was prepared to open it, when Nazo used the speedier, more effective way of getting the door open. Once it were open, Himeiji's eyes widened in horror as she saw the image before her.
The king was dead on his throne and there was Ren, alongside some other woman, handing out bags of gold to the peasants.
Heart: "Look at them all... Scrounging for the money of a dead man. This isn't a kingdom worth saving, yet, I can already tell you still want to try. What'll you do, try to become the queen?" Heart laughed at her own dark joke and Himeiji couldn't do much, but keep herself composed. That was when Ren, Riley, and the other woman began going back and forth in their verbal confrontation. Himeiji listened Ren's own ideologies and wants for a new universe. Those very words sickened her to her stomach and reminded her of someone she put down long ago. She grimaced at the words and was prepared to cut the conversation short, however, Riley activated his rings.
The power from the rings resonated in a terrible way with Himeiji. She cried out in pain and fell onto her knees. She gripped the left side of her face and hid her eye from view. Even without aura sensing abilities, one could see that a darkness was emanating from her eye, and that her former yin-yang styled aura, had turned on the yin side completely. This all happened for a split moment and what brought the woman out of her pained state, was the fool hardy and reckless charge that Riley put himself into.
A low growl escaped from Himeiji's lips and she dashed off as fast as she could. She was hoping to get in front of Riley just before he attempted to harm the woman. After doing so, she attempted to palm strike Riley right in his stomach. This wouldn't hurt him too much and would only leave him winded long enough to realize how reckless he was being. Should all of this occur, Himeiji would push Riley back towards Nazo. Hime's left side of her face had some black sludge, that came from her eye, trailing down it. Her left eye itself had these red, vine-like veins, that attempted to form the rest of her all black eyes.
"Riley, keep your head on straight, dammit. You're useless to all of us if you're just going to be reckless. Nazo, help calm him down. I'll deal with the both of them." Himeiji's voice had deepened a bit and she spoke a bit darker. Black Heart had taken over and she was pretty pleased to be in this situation. She licked her lips and turned towards Ren and the woman. "Ren O'Malley, your ideology disgusts me. You want to create a world with no more killing, stealing, starvation, or sickness, yet you commit and aid in all of that you apparently oppose. You're a hypocrite who's gone so far into the darkness, you cannot see the own atrocities you have created. I am Himeiji Homura and I will be the one to kill you."
Heart unsheathed her sword after her small speech and held it with one firm hand. Her eye continued to hurt her greatly, but she ignored the pain for now. She needed to be strong until Riley can get himself back into gear. She smiled a little, feeling Himeiji's concern for her comrades warm her icy soul. However, Heart ignored it, and focused on both the woman and Ren.
"Who's first?" She asked and a wicked smirk took to her lips. She'd taunt the woman with the beckon of her hand and winked.

Before Riley got himself killed, Hime came to the rescue, again. Riley fell flat on the ground them looked up at his. Upon seeing Hime, the mark of the O'Malley's disappeared, his eyes turning blue again. " Hime...your face.." Being pushed back to Nazo, Riley felt his heart. He could feel Red Riley protesting being put on the side lines. She wanted to killand taste blood once again.
Nazo nodded to Hime, then placed a hand where Riley's heart was. She knew Red Riley was trying to gain control again. She and Riley shared a heart now. " Riley, cool it. You can't let her take control when you have the rings. She cannot be allowed to control Chaos Riley." Riley sighed, he hated being put on the sidelines too. If only he didn't have these mood swings, if only he didn't fail the mark of mastery exam.
Ren looked at Hime. He was about to laugh until she finished. Ren's eyes turned back to their normal green. He looked at her. " What? I am not... I'm helping people, aren't I?" The woman growled at Ren. He wasn't supposed to question what he was doing. " Does that really matter at this point?! All that maters is doing what you were born to do! I may not be able to get your brother just yet, but you are still under my control!" He free hand glowed with red and black energy. The energy was dark, far beyond hell itself. Ren held his head as he screamed in pain. For a breif moment, so Riley. Ren opened his again, the mark of the O'Malleys showing again. Rikey stopped feeling his head, but his mark wasn't showing again. " What the hell was that? How did you do that?"
The woman laughed. " You'll learn in due time." She then looked back at Ren. " Now, are you ready to follow orders again, or do I have to replace you with another O'Malley?" Ren looked up again. " Yes, I am. The new universe will be created at all costs, even if that means I die." The woman then turned back to Himeiji. " That's better. Now I'll take care of you before I take control of Kurome's vessel."
Just then Riley looked up. That was it, his breaking point, the one word he couldn't stand being called. One of the few things that could get to him. His heart broke, not physically but Mentally and Emotionally. Nazo felt her heart and screamed out in pain. At first Riley started crying uncontrollably. Then, he stopped crying and started shaking with anger. " Riley, what are you-" Riley got up and glared at the woman. " What did you just call me you piece of shit?!" The woman laughed, finally getting to Riley. " You heard me, Kurome." Riley shook with more anger, his eyes showing the mark of the O'Malley's again. " I will kill you!" His curse mark started glowing red, then blue, pink, all sorts of colors, then, it turned back to normal. The other personalities couldn't take over while he was like this. Not when he was already in a state of full rage.
Riley entered his semi goddess form. Then he entered his full goddess form. Then he went back to his cursed form. " I will.... kill you in this form!!!! No.... I will not..." His voice was getitng darker. The seven elemental rings came out of his body. They started to circle around him. His aura combined with theirs, reaching that of a full goddess. The rings disappeared back into his body There was a bright flash of near blinding pink light. The light died down, but not by much. Riley had transformed. His skin turned glowing pink, his eyes and hair turned pink. His pupils turned demon like. A glowing pink aura was around his body. He had become Chaos Riley. " In this form... I will fucking murder you!"
The woman laughed. " That's it, let your anger take control! Do what you were born to do! Become my puppet! Come now! Show me why you are the Null trigger!" She then looked at Himeiji. " You too. You have my interest, but I will not let you interfere with my new puppet. Ren, take care of her!" Ren stepped foward. " Yes, master."

There was a slight breakthrough in terms of Ren. Something changed in him and he even questioned his own actions, but Himeiji dismissed it as one of his schemes. However, Riley seemed to have acknowledged the same change, even the woman who was upset by the whole thing. That was when it suddenly hit Himeiji. Hime looked at the woman closely and watched as she exercised control over Ren.
"...It's the Queen! Riley, that woman is the queen!" The Himeiji broke into control for a moment to raise awareness of who this woman could possibly be. "Her ability to control your brother and her wording... She knows you two too intimately! She has to be the Queen!" Himeiji alerted, in order to put the rest of the group into a more defensive mind-state.
Her efforts were in vain, though, for the Queen had successfully brought out the anger within Riley. In a brilliant display of lights, Riley had changed between many forms, all resembling a goddess in some way. This change affected Nazo negatively, and Himeiji once more, felt it in her own body. Her heart quaked at the sheer power Riley was exuded and she screamed out again, falling onto her hands and knees. Both eyes had grown the blood red veins and the black sludge started to drip more often onto the floor. A dark aura surrounded Himeiji and she tried her hardest to fight it. The only way she knew how, was to get to Riley.
"Riley! Listen to yourself! This wasn't a quest to slaughter others! We are not murderers, we are liberators! We are the voice for the people, so that we can make them free from the tyranny of the Queen! If you give in to your baser instincts now, you'd have forfeited all of our lives! Think of your wives, your friends, your family! Dammit, Riley! Don't let her get to you!" She shouted and soon felt the presence of Ren getting closer. Himeiji wanted to get up so badly, but felt this unease of tremendous darkness gnaw at her very being.
Heart: "Himeiji... Let me take over. There's not much we can do now."
"But Heart..."
Heart: "It's... Izanami..." With that, Black Heart had placed her other half into a dormant state. That way, she allowed herself to take over completely. She rose to her feet once more and gently swiped her eyes free of the black sludge. This time around, however, her pupils and everything else could be seen. The blood-red veins remained and irises of her eyes, were a crimson-red. Her pupils shone a ghostly white and seemed to be alive, almost. She stared down both the woman who she presumed was the Queen and Ren, who was under her spell. However, she did that Riley may be a problem, so it may soon turn into a free-for-all, or a 3-vs-1. Either way, she wouldn't have mind one bit.

Riley growled. So it seemed this woman was controling Ren, and planed to control him. He wasn't going to let that happen. He palned to kill her right here, right now. " She can't be the queen, she's that keyblader from my last adventure! But you shoukd be dead, Ren killed you I saw it!" The woman laughed. " You saw wrong. Ren can't kill me, he's become my puppet. Soon you will be too. I may not be the queen, but I still have some influence in this world. How else do you think Ren here got to so many people? You too can do great things..once you become my puppet!"
Hime then tried to get Riley back under control. Her words seemed to have gotten to him somewhat. But the woman wasn't going to have any of that. She laughed. " As if a vessal could ever be a hero." Riley glared at her again. " Who said I wanted to be a hero?! I don't care what my mission was, the only thing I care about is killing you! You may have beaten me our last two encounters, but this time you will not get away!" The woman looked at him, her eyes glowing. " Prove it then. Release your chaos and become what you were born to be!"
The woman's han started glowing with red and black energy again. She shot a beam right passed Himeiji and straight to Riley. By the time the attack got there however, Riley was already on the move. When he moved all that could be seen was a pink streak. He ran right pasted everyone, stopping right behind the woman. Right before he slashed her Ren appeared in between them and blocked his attack. He then kicked Riley away back to Hime and Nazo. " That's a good puppet," The woman said when she finally realized what just happened. " Now take care of these fools. I want Riley under my control!"
Nazo finally walked up beside Hime as Riley got back up. Nazo summoned her keyblade. " If we are going to survive, we need to work together." She said. " That means not getting so worked up over being called that..." She looked at Riley, who just growled. " Just stay out of my way. That woman is mine to kill!" Riley's aura started to glow brighter. He then dashed off back to the woman. She tried to counter him, but he was moving too fast. He struck her three times. Each time an explosion happened.
Riley then landed on the other side of the room, looking back at the woman. The woman was still standing, but clearly hurt. " You little... you will do as I say and you're going to like it!" She looked back at Ren. " Ren take care of those two! I'll make your brother join us one way or another!"
Ren looked at her, then back to Nazo and Himeiji. " As you wish master." He pointed his hand at them. Fifteen orbs of wind then shot out at them. Nazo was ready to counter. She formed a small black orb in her hand. She then shot it out at the wind orbs. The black orbs stretched into a portal to a different dimension, taking in all the orbs before disappearing. " I've been through this before. If we want Ren back and Riley to stay on our side we'll have to beat him. Just then Ren appeared beside Nazo, kicking her away before disappearing again. He then appeared a few feet in front kf Himeiji, throwing an unfolded fuma shuriken at her.

Izanami, now in control of Himeiji's body, couldn't worry about the pain in her eyes, or the berserk Riley. They had to fight Ren currently and the man had made his move. Luckily for her, Nazo came in and defended the two from the orbs of wind. However, Nazo was quickly kicked away by Ren, who displayed his might and speed. Izanami smirked and got ready to unleash her hell upon the brother.
The six summoned blades that Himeiji had before the confrontation began remained. When Ren shot out the wind orbs towards the two, Himeiji absorbed 4 at once, to grant herself Sword of the Demon, and Sword of the Angel. Himeiji's defenses, speed, and attacks were now bolstered greatly and she would display this when Ren attempted to throw the Fuma Shuriken at her. Given the fact that Ren was only a few feet away from her, Himeiji, in a quick burst of speed, dodged the shuriken and quickly appeared behind Ren.
With a mere flicker of her hand, Himeiji unleashed 5 strong and quick slashes and attempted to hit Ren's back with them. Should her initiation of slashes go through as planned, she would finish the end the combo with a powerful roundhouse to Ren's back, which would send him flying if it connected.
