[Elario Luminus]

Where the Restoration Commitee is still hard at work rebuilding the world.

Kayle walked the streets of this place, wondering at the mechanics of it all. Unable to sheath his new weapons anywhere, or make them disappear or whatever for the time being, he held both his Keyblades with pride. Stepping into a sort of shopping area, everyone stopped...and turned...and stared. Kayle just shrugged and moved on. Down to the small courtyard, leaping over the railing in his way, and down the stairs in front of him.
'What the Hell is going on here? I'm in some place I had no idea existed, and I'm holding two of the strangest things I've ever seen. And everyone's staring at me. Just another day, I guess.'
Going through the archway ahead, he was suddenly surrounded by those black things again. Leaping back, and holding one Keyblade in front of him, while occasionally spinning the other one in his hand, he jumped forward again and slashed at one, watching it explode into a cloud of darkness.
Right, I got the main idea now.
Again Kayle attacked and slashed, parried and dodged, until finally the court was empty of those things. Then, his Keyblades flew open in flames and disappeared.
'Hey, whoa! Give me back my weapons!'
Nothing.
Now!
And there was another blast of fire and there they were again.
'Okay. Right. I need to find someone who'll know even a little bit about what's going on.'
Kayle headed towards a house, and when he put his head to the door, he could hear a faint sound of a warning being carried out, and people rushing around. Opening the door and sliding in didn't get their attention, but slamming the door shut did. Everyone stopped and stared at Kayle, or rather, his Keyblades. One man came up to him and pulled some sort of sword-gun thing on him.
'Where did you get those?'
Kayle took a step back and rose a Keyblade on this guy, silently giving him a warning.
'They were given to me.'
Yeah, that about sounds right. I hope.

(Hey hey! >>; Is it okay if I be Cloud if he ever shows up? >>;;;;;;;;; -loves Cloud-)

[Elario Luminus]

((You can if you want. No objections here))

Kayle glared at the scarred man. He was in a predicament; this bloke who thrusted a gunsword thingo on him looked like a good guy, but he had pulled a weapon on him, which wasn't cool.
He relaxed his arm holding one of his Keyblades.
'Ya know what? I ain't gonna fight ya for something that's mine anyways. Just keep that sword gun whatsis outta my face.'
He put his finger against the tip of this guys sword and slowly pushed it away. The owner sighed and looked over his shoulder at the other four people inside. He frowned in a peculiar way that Kayle didn't like, and the old man shrugged and shook his head.
'It seems that the worlds have sent us another defender, Leon.'
Kayle's eyes flew open.
'Hey, whoa, I ain't gonna be no defender of no planets. Give that responsibility to some other guy.'
The other bloke who had something in his mouth stepped forward.
'You need to listen, kid, not play your own game. Those keys you got there?'
This Leon folded his arms.
'They're called Keyblades, and have impossible power. They can lift the worlds out of darkness, or plunge them even deeper into it.'
Kayle shook his head.
'Hey, mate, I don't know what game you're playing, but I don't want part of it. Here; you have these. I'm leaving.'
Kayle handed the Keyblades to Leon and walked out the door. As he stepped outside, there was a small explosion and the keys were back in his hands.
'Hey, what? I don't want 'em!'
He threw them away again, but they shimmered through the air, stopped, and came flying back into Kayle's hands.
'This is getting old now.'
He slumped his shoulders and sighed.
'Well, I guess I have no choice then. Here is where they stay.'

Nallina was shocked to find herself dreaming such a strange dream, but was it really a dream? she though so at first but it slowly became realer and realer. "woah..." staring in amazement at the stained glass floor below her, Nallina noticed that this...platform of sorts was the only land there was and everywhere else was just an endless abyss. light and kindness encircles you, bearer, many great things await you, but how to do them? see for yourself...your future awaits you so soon and yet so far away...when will it come, bearer?... a strange voice that was there yet..not there, spoke strange words in Nallina's head there was a shimmer of light and two strange keys appeared in her hands, "w-what are these things?" she asked herself shakily, and then as suddenly as the keys had appeared a dark hole sucked Nallina down and she was chocking on her own breath, as soon as it had all happened, it had ended, and Nallina was lying on the ground of a street, where strange creatures with little red baubles on the heads gathered round the unfamiliar girl lying on the ground "wake up, Kupo!" one of them kept saying, "wake up!" with a moan and a sharp pain in her chest from her hard landing, Nallina awoke, with a short scream of fright she got up and quickly tripped over her own foot again. ((cue squall and all that!)) getting up off the floor Nallina decided that these funky little flying guys with baubles on their heads were friendly and she decided to ask them where she was "do you know where i am by chance?" the reply came instantly "your in radiant garden, Kupo!" what weird name and a weird place to match, Radiant Garden..."ok, thanks, uh...what are you guys?"
"we are called moogles, Kupo, don't touch my bauble though!" Nallina nodded and waved she set off to find someone to give an explanation. passing a trio of ducklings wearing identical, but different colored clothing...weird. as she walked down some steps she suddenly collapsed again and went back to her dream your training shall begin, bearer, when you step through that door, but do not be afraid, this training isn't exactly for real...or maybe...it is that creepy disembodied voice again. sure enough there was a door at the other side of the platform Nallina was standing on. stepping through it, Nallina found herself on another platform, it looked the same except it was green, she found herself facing these weird black things that leaped at her, she defended herself with her only weapons the keys, which were still on her hands, she swung the key at them, and the creatures burst into clouds of black. well done, but are you truly ready? as soon as the voice spoke a huge black monster rose from the floor where Nallina's shadow had been. Nallina screamed and stepped back to find herself frightened out of her wits and almost falling off the platform. Nallina threw her key at the enemy and struck its face she began to realize that its face and hands were its weakest points and soon the large black creature fell backwards over the edge of the platform with a long, loud roar. Nallina collapsed from exhaustion and fell unconscious. ((can squall and all that find me there plz? that would be cool!))

Kayle heard a slam of a door and turned quickly, brandishing both Keyblades at the noise. He saw Leon dash out the door to someone laying on the ground. A female girl of about 15. He stood watching the procession as Leon picked up the girl and walked back into the old guys house. Kayle shrugged and walked off towards the stairs on his right, and stopped at them. Looking up slightly, he saw a pathway to the top using the bricks. He put his Keyblades away, and leaped up onto the next level. He did it again and again, until he reached the top.
'Simple.'
He walked down the stairs into what seemed like a borough overlooking the chasm in this place. Squinting, Kayle noticed a castle in the distance....or what remained of one. Here and there he spotted the flashing movements of those black things that had attacked before.
'Great, those things live here? Fantastic....'
Walking down the next set of stairs, Kayle stepped into the castle gates, and beheld a sight no one at his school would believe.....

"Ana.... Ana, wake up." Jacen said, shaking his sisters unconscious form. They were laying in the middle of the small floating island near the rising falls. They'd come there to get away from the rush of town life when they'd both mysteriously passed out and had the same strange dream.
"What was that Jace? Anahera asked, sitting up and gripping her head as the area around her span dangerously.
"Maybe Leon will be able to tell us what it was?' Jacen suggested, pulling Anahera back to her feet.
She nodded in agreeance.
"I do remember him asking us that if we ever had such a dream we'd inform him... who do you think that guy was? he looked familiar..." Ana said, rubbing her head a little more.
"I don't know but i'm sure Leon will."
The two then turned and ran off to find their protector, he would most likely be in the castle. They ignored the stranger they saw gawping at the castle, their eagerness driving them on.
"Leon!" they called as they entered the castle, he has this strange knack for knowing when they were looking for him.

Nallina winced a bit as she opened her eyes, the light of the room she was in was shining right in her face..."w-where am I?" she sat up a bit, the room spinning around her. there appeared to be no-one there...or as far as she knew. she sat rubbing her face for a while her head throbbing and her eyes watching the room twirl and spin.

[One thing, Taz just fell asleep. Does she come here now? Or does she go somewhere else in between first?]

[Elario Luminus]

((You can if you wish. If not, then go through the Station Of Awakening firth, then to Radiant Garden.))

[Tifa Lockhart]

((gah Kayle, please post as Leon... otherwise i cant continue my twins))

[Cloud Strife]

(*trying to think up a way for Cloud to enter...hm...* Oh! Maybe Cloud could come across Leon while he's with the twins or something? D:> -shrug-)

[Tifa Lockhart]

((makes sense to me))

[Elario Luminus]

Leon glanced up at the still-ruined castle, and saw two figures walking around.
Must be the twins.
He made his way towards the castle, giving Kayle a pat on the shoulder as he went. Arriving at the castle itself, he drew his gunblade. Heartless were still known to be seen here every now and then, so best to be on his guard.
'Guys? You here somewhere?'

Kayle frowned when Leon patted his shoulder, but thought nothing of it. Concentrating back on the view, he saw a huge bluish canyon, beyond which was a decimated castle.
'Whoa. That must be where those little things come from.'
And bigger ones, too, probably.
Gulp.

[Tifa Lockhart]

The twins heard Leon's voice from outside and turned, running back for the main gate.
'"Leon!" Anahera said with a giggle, skipping over as her brother took a much more dignified pace.
"Who was that kid you used to tell us about?" Ana began.
"You know, the one with the spikey hair and the duck?" Jacen finished for her, which the two of them did quite often.
"Because, you know how you told us if we had a dream we should tell you?" Ana began again.
"Well we were down at the rising falls and we both had the same dream." Jacen concluded, scratching his forehead idly.
