[Kokugen]

(OOC: Okay so I decided that I'd make a main thread for posting in the RP so actual posts don't get lost in the sign up, I'll copy the introductory post I made and Rikku's too because she aint gonna be here this weekend. YOu can begin posting introductory posts in either Hollow Bastion, Twilight Town or Sunset Horizons but you can't encounter any of the Mystery characters just yet after a few intro posts I'll bind them all together so that the introduction works properly.

Also if you want to sign up for the RP do it in here: http://www.japanforum.com/forum/japa...hearts-rp.html and any out of character posts that aren't using your character (such as suggestions or problems) go http://www.japanforum.com/forum/japa...oc-thread.html. Anyways intro posts, Mine)

The streets of Hollow Bastion were near silent, it was just past midnight and most people had taken to their beds to sleep. Few people were awake but those that were stood in the street whispering, halfway down the street from them a man rolled in his bed the persistent noise denying him sleep. He stood from his bed and went to the window to complain at the people but was shocked to see no-one was there,

"Damn kids..."

He returned to his bed knowing at least the noise would stop until he heard what sounded like footsteps on his roof. Just above him Cloud sat with Aeris/Aerith (OOC: I dunno which to use but I see Aeris more so I'll use that) standing over him a pained expression in her face,

"Cloud why did you come out you know that you're not fully healed yet!"

"You expect me to sit by whilst this is happening! They're here and you expect me to sit tight!"

"Master Ansem didn't tell us so that we could foolishly seek our deaths! He warned us for our own good! A keyblade is the only thing that can damage them! Your Buster Sword won't hurt them -"

"My Buster Sword will do damage enough! Now leave me!"

"Cloud you can't expect me to just -"

But Aeris' words were cut off when Cloud suddenly leapt into the air his dark clothing floating in the wind and his left arm's bandages still dripping with blood, Cloud... just what are you trying to prove...?

In the outer reaches of Twilight Town a figure could be seen, he wore a dark blue hooded cloak that hid his face and bodily features and a bandaged package on his back. His eyes seemed to have a pale green glow and he walked rather stiffly as if his movement was restricted.

As he approached the residential area of the town he observed the buildings and took in the various features, he particularly noticed the light blue glow emenating from one window but thought nothing of it. He continued through the town and arrived at the Tram depot, he entered an empty tram and lifted his left hand. A ball of swirling white and yellow energy focused there before bursting out into the various parts of the tram causing it to move towards the station.

A small gust blew over a bright desert, there were hills and dips in it's landscape and the sun was setting in the not so far distance. One figure was negotiating his way through the desert wearing just a pure white hooded cloak and holding a small keychain in his hand. His face was moist with sweat which dripped into the bottom of his hood. He reache one of his hands into his pocket and pulled out a white handkerchief which bore four marks on it, one was a small crown, another a shield, a staff and the last a five point star shaped object which was rounded. He stopped and observed it for a while before muttering to himself,

"I guess I have to use it after all..."

He placed it back into his pocket and then put it in front of him, the Kingdom Key appeared in his hand and he stared at the keychain before removing it,

"How do these things work again?"

He lifted the keychain from his other hand and observed it, the chain was pure white and the object on the end seemed shaped like a crystal that was badly proportioned. He attached the end to the Kingdom Key and was surprised when nothing happened.

An aura then appeared around him spiralling before surging into the Kingdom Key, his eyes closed as a burst of light appeared and when he opened them he no longer held the Kingdom Key in his hand, this key was pure white and instead of shooting upwards from the handle it went down then curved around the handle it then shafted upwards splitting into five flat sections which were disjointed like a split pentagon. When they reached the top they rejoined and that same disproportioned crystal shape was there and the key part was shaped just as the kingdom key with the crown shape,

"Woah... why didn't he let me use this earlier?"

Back in Hollow Bastion the night seemed to have been stopped still, not even the winds stirred as a figure made it's way through the city in the direction of the castle, the figure was clothed in dark silver and black armour which was purple on the shoulders and the inside of the legs, the armour shone with an aura of brilliance and made full use of the full moon. The helmet of the armour had a distinct look which had downwards pointing 'ears' as they could be called that also swept backwards.

She walked barely paying notice to her surroundings, she seemed to be in deep thought but of what was anyones guess. She suddenly stopped and titled her head towards her back,

"You come here knowing who I am... you are a fool."

She continued walking before a sword was thrusted at her from behind, Cloud stood his left arm shaking but wielding his sword with great mastery,

"You're the fool if you think I'm... I'm..."

He found himself unable to speak as his sword began to disintergrate before him the armoured woman's hand where the tip had been,

"Cloud Strife, this is not a battle you can fight. This is for keyblades only, unless you can draw it from your soul you're worth nothing to me or the others."

Clouds face was a frozen mixture of anger and shock his hand was still in front of him grasping thin air shaking slightly,

"You know who I am Master Ansem must have told you before he passed away, I'm sure he wouldn't take that information to the grave. If you know that then surely you know it is imperative that I get to the cast -"

"So thousands can die! No thanks! Standing on the brink of darkness and coming back teaches you a few things! There is no need for this exchange!"

"Cloud if your heart cannot capacitate a keyblade then I cannot expect you to look beyond your emotions, you stood on the brink of darkness and light then you must know of balance. Balance is necessary but with new factors being discovered it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep it so, surely Ansem explained this to you six?"

Cloud turned to see that Squall, Yuffie, Aeris, Cid and Tifa were there running to his side. He turned back to the woman who had turned her back on him and the others,

"Get in my way again and you all die, my purpose exceeds the need for you all to be alive."

There was a moments silence before she lifted her right hand causing all the others to flinch, she chuckled before clicking her fingers. There was a sudden rush of wind,

"I'm surprised my magic didn't affect you..."

She placed her right had in front of her and a portal of darkness opened,

"Let's hope we don't meet again, well at least not on the battlefield."

In Twilight Town the Tram arrived at the station, the cloaked figure left the tram and began walking towards the glass gates,

"Nothing's changed huh..."

He looked up at the station doors and thought he could see a figure behind the glass, shrugging it off he continued placing his left hand out. He stopped as he thought he saw a flash of light behind the glass, shifting his right foot back slightly a blast of blue light flared from his left hand revealing a dark keyblade that resembled a webbed wing. He flipped it so that it pointed downwards and shifted his hand so the blade covered his entire body,

"I got what I wanted quicker than I thought..."

He leapt back as a blast of blue lightning spiked from behind the glass shattering it and sending him flying backwards. He rolled backwards and got to his feet,

"Shall I show you...?"

He watched as a large figure made it's way through the broken glass, parts of his body appeared to be shining reflecting the twilight so he could not be made out properly. Riku lifted his keyblade once again his white hair longer still reaching down his back,

"Shall I show you the way to the dawn?!"

Riku leapt forward rearing back his keyblade his cloak flapping in the wind.

Sora stood with his new keyblade pointing towards the sky, he closed his eyes before an aura surrounded him and a large crown stretched beneath him, he saw all around him was a mix of purple and various other colours that were randomly placed, he looked up and saw the worlds keyhole appear.

He focused energy into the tip of his keyblade and shot it into the keyhole but was surprised to see it deflected,

"Not just yet!"

"What the hell..."

Sora leapt back as a man blasted out of the keyhole coated in what looked like a white fire, He leapt up and the fire mysteriously dissapeared. Sora pointed his keyblade at the man who also bore a white cloak, his face seemed a few years older than his and his eyes were azure blue just as Sora's were,

"Wait! Hold on! I'm not an enemy!"

"Then who are you!"

"I'm just like you! But my number's different!"

"What do you mean number?"

"You don't know? From the heroes chosen by the keyblade I'm the eleventh one. You must be the thirteenth."

"What... thirteenth?"
