Kingdom Hearts - Blades of Three Realms

[[XIII] Roxas]

Now that Roxas had managed to recover from his own injuries and had finally caught his breath he was way more concerned about what had become of Axel. And, to a slightly lesser extent, Wolfwood as both of them were still missing. He sighed softly to himself. Why did Axel always have to be such a reckless hothead once he got into a fight?

"I hope Axel made it out of there okay," was all he could say.

Roveth frowned while listening to Xehanort, and looked at Shiro again, who had given more than his mouth would say, before the dark half of Shiro turned to Xehanort with a impassive and idle look on his face "this is, of course, if you don't have a catch 22 added to it.. and due to the fact i can tell you do in your eyes.. i think i'll have to pass on you teaching me, you old codger." he then cracked his neck while simply rolling it from side to side "what, don't think i don't see it? even if your body is young again, your soul, your very spirit and heart, belie your true nature... and i meant a name to your ugly face." he said pointedly to Xehanort lightly while his gloved and gauntleted arm both idly moved to put themselves on the hips as his energy began churning and flowing.

Shiro of course just brought an arm pained regardless as he turned and moved the hand to give Xehanort the middle finger "I've.. always... spat... in.. death's... face... so... this.. is... nothing.. new!" he eventually got up, sure enough, even though his heart was still quite shattered and slowly trying to recover, Shiro could still feel strength from both his inner light, and from something else as his eyes actually started glowing, shifting through various colors while he continued to fight down the pain so he could move.

Axel had appeared out of the ground behind Roxas as he looked at the surveying damage, whistling "wow, that's some power that hit that guy... good, hope he remembers not to mess with the likes of us!" he patted Roxas on the shoulder lightly with one of his patented smirks.

Wolfwood of course popped out of a Corridor himself near crystal as he crossed his arms "and here i thought Shiro was the crazy one. what made you think to go -that- far on that guy? even i wouldn't have summoned -all three-."  

[[XIII] Roxas]

"Axel!" Roxas cheered up instantly. He coughed quietly and made a concentrated effort to mask his earlier concern. "I'm glad you're okay."

Truth be told, Roxas was beginning to feel that he and Axel had gotten in way over their heads by traveling with this crowd. Heartless he could handle, but Roxas wasn't equipped to handle enemies like Vanitas and the Unversed.

Shiro just looked at Roveth, before looking at Xehanort with an almost fanged grin despite being in so much pain "you.. honestly think you can contain and control something i -barely- had control over myself? you're deluding yourself Xehanort." he said, lightly closing an eye to continue fighting down the pain while Shiroi Senko was almost awake and actually ready to help out.... by either getting Shiro out of there or something.

Roveth meanwhile just listened to the tone, before closing an eye and looking right at Xehanort with a calm demeanour and not even looking fazed by the threat and all as he moved his arms into crossing them over his chest with a raised eyebrow "hmm.. let's see.. you obviously want something of me, i guess to gain power and control over the worlds, correct?" he then yawned a bit and shrugged a bit "untold power and control over the worlds, while under the tutelage of someone who's well versed in controlling things.. or on the other hand, gaining control over my own skills and strengths, and becoming stronger on my own, and actually able to do what i want, and the worlds being left alone." he seemed to actually be pondering it, idly using his hands as if a scale, at least for a few moments before lowering both hands, and giving off a loud snort, before looking at Xehanort "as if there is any choice in this matter. Master Xehanort... i do thank you for releasing me from my idiotic light, Shiro here..." he then simply leaned a bit forward, before actually taking a defensive stance, readying to fight if need be as he narrowed his now both open eyes "but... i would rather be caught dead with my head on a pike than be caught hanging around your decrepit old a**." he said just as coldly, as his full aura of darkness started flaring up, showing he was not going to be a slouch to deal with, that was one thing for certain.

Wolfwood just crossed his arms with a deadpan look on his face as if saying 'yeah -right-.' before speaking up "even so, it was still pretty damned reckless, given what if he pulled an Axel and teleported out of there, or had some way to even withstand it entirely?" he was not happy at the moment, even though the attack did get the job done.

Axel of course chuckled a bit lightly "i high-tailed it the moment i saw the three dragons above the area, so i got Crystal's message to get the heck out of there." he lightly fornwed, now going into serious mode as he looked to the others "however, if this was a distraction to get Shiro separated from us, we need to find the kid, and FAST."  

[[XIII] Roxas]

Roxas held out a hand to open a corridor of darkness. "Don't count me out. I suck at recon, but I can still help these guys look for Shiro."  

[Kuukyo_Fushichou]

Roveth looked at the Neo Shadows with minor annoyance before closing an eye, and idly reaching back with his non defending hand before pulling out... cards. oddly enough they were black in color with a white hole like design on one side, and something else on the other, but he didn't show that side just yet before calling out "you have your own minions.. i have mine." he said calmly, before flicking the cards out, summoning a cloaked man that seemed to have come from a different dimension (D.D. Survivor), a warrior that also looked to be well versed in magic, if the draconic aura about him was any indication (Lord of D.), an iron clad soldier that had red eyes and a decent looking sword arm and shield, with an undertone of hidden power (Gearfried the Iron Knight), an odd looking machien that looked oddly enough like a mirror as it moved over to Roveth and Shiro's position inbetween them, charging energy for something (Healing Wave Generator), and finally.. a brown little fuzzball with purple eyes, small hands, and in general looking -cute-. (Kuriboh) before his defending hand actually clenched, and in a small blaze of black energy before a keyblade looking like -This- had appeared in the hand, ready to be used:

Roveth Main Keyblade - Lockdown

Shiro of course went slightly wide-eyed at the line-up Roveth that created for himself, as well as the Keyblade in general before gripping his chest as he grunted in pain, Shiroi Senko looking to his master with worry before moving lightly to the side to back off from the upcoming battle between the two.

Wolfwood nodded, and whistled, a few soldiers, Neo Shadows, regular shadows, and even a Wyvern appeared, he looked at them with a serious look on his face "i need you to look for a white haired gaki about Crystal's age, might be in the realm of darkness, you can probably find him from the intense amount of darkness in his heart." the heartless all nodded, before vanishing as per their usual way of teleporting out of there, while wolfwood tossed up a candied heart to the chibi-heartless on his head, frowning "we know Shiro has too many enemies or people after him for some reason, do we know any that'd be this bold?"

Axel sighed while stepping back himself, not the best when it came to recon himself, even if he was Organization XIII's best Assassin and all "count me out, i suck even more than you at recon, Roxas." he said calmly, while shuddering ,hoping that Xemnas didn't collect Shiro for his own purposes -again-.  

[[XIII] Roxas]

"Then I guess I'll just have to look hard enough for the both of us," Roxas retorted before slipping off through the corridor of darkness along with several Samurai Nobodies that had suddenly materialized around him. They would afford him some protection at the very least.  

[Kuukyo_Fushichou]

Roveth merely frowned when he let the first three monsters work towards attacking and defending their master like they had been summoned to, when he felt the neo shadows closing in he merely flicked his free hand back to the deck case and pulled out another card, unleashing a burst of magical energy from it as the small fuzzball from earlier literally started multiplying before everyone's eyes, creating a wall of fur for the heartless to run into, well, a wall of explosive fur, given some of the furballs actually shot out pelting the Neo Shadows and exploding violently on contact. the odd mirror like machine finally finished charging, and floated up towards Shiro's body, in which it began shining a golden light on him, though it did nothing physically, it did ease the pains his body was having at the moment a bit. Roveth meanwhile had lashed out at a couple of the Neo Shadows that were giving the draconic looking warrior trouble and slashed them back to darkness with about a 3 slice combo in one assault "Begone, foolish heartless... go back to the darkness from whence you came.. for the Shadows will always be your superior!" he called out coldly, while looking to Xehanort as if saying 'this is it? then you're deluding yourself if you can beat me.'

Shiro meanwhile was starting to breathe a bit easier thanks to the mirror that seemed to be raining healing light over him, it wasn't helping mend his heart in the least, but it was at least staving off the pain as Shiroi Senko cooed from the energy boost as well, before looking about seeing if he'd spot anything he could do to help, spying a soldier heartless wandering by it gave off a 'Kweh', causing it to jump, and then look over, before shaking it's head in it's usual odd way, and disappearing in a poof.

Centralized Break, Scene Change Hatsudo!

Wolfwood was tapping his foot while waiting for any updates from his heartless he sent out as he listened to Crystal's explanation about another player in this deadly game of 'catch the Shiro'. "if that's the case, wouldn't he have shown himself sooner, like shortly after Maleficent had her try of recruiting Shiro?" he asked, a bit confused and thinking a bit to himself at the moment.

Axel tilted his head lightly, while frowning "my guess is that maybe this guy probably didn't see any worth in Shiro until after that, besides.. Crystal, you never told us in detail how Shiro became a literal behemoth stampede wreck." of course, he was pointign this out, but he also forgot Roxas wouldn't hear the story either, and sweatdrop "on second thought.. let's wait until Roxas comes back, that way -everyone- can be present for the story."

around that time the earlier seen Soldier heartless would poof into the Corridor's of darkness near Roxas's position, and wandered over, showing no signs of attacking, and gave off various twitters and chirps, in it's own way telling where a white-silver bird was (i dunno if the Nobodies could tell what it's saying, so i assume they do.) that matched Shiroi Senko's description.  

[[XIII] Roxas]

Roxas immediately recognized that this particular Soldier Heartless wasn't a threat and waited for the Samurai Nobodies to translate what it was saying before somehow relaying that information directly into Roxas's mind. He didn't understand how it worked, but all that mattered was that it did.

"Let's go grab the others so you can take us to that chocobo," Roxas nodded in understanding to the Soldier Heartless.  

[Kuukyo_Fushichou]

Roveth of course looked up at the Darksides with a sniff of disdain, before reaching back to pull out another couple of cards as he flicked one towards the draconic aura like warrior, which began to turn into an energy orb which was caught, and formed a golden Draconic looking horn or flute of some type, while another flew to the iron knight that was currently fighting off the shadows, said knight began to glow ominously as a dark aura pulsed, and the armor started to crack, with Roveth Calling out "Release your restraints and acend to your true Potential, Gearfried!" with a burst of black light the armored knight turned into this: Gearfried unleashed! as Roveth smirked lightly while also from the sky was a twin set of roars, as two beautiful white dragons also flowed down to join the battle, unleashing powerful blasts of energy from their maws to send -devastation- amongst both the shadows, and even dealing heavy damage to the Darksides. and Roveth looked like he hadn't even used any more power to actually bring out these new players, only the magics that led to them being brought out. in fact, speaking of Magics, Roveth also pulled out one more card, looking it over before smirking a bit, and flicking it into a spin, before it formed into an actual sword, about the size of a large dual-sided great-sword (almost buster sword size) with a massive purple aura as Gearfried's eyes start to shine with a glint of.. did that look like Malice? either way, Roveth also smirked afterwards "Go, and destroy!" he called out, said sword master nodding, before actually jumping up on a Darkside's arm, running up it dishing out damage by dragging the sword along into the arm, before quickly stabbing the darkside in the head, to banish it completely in one fell swoop (Gearfried's effect: when equipped with an Equip Spell card, destroy one monster on the field. hehehe.)

Shiro went suprisingly wide-eyed when seeing the large destruction of the enemies with the appearance of two dragons, and the unleashing of that swordmaster ~holy... my inner darkness.. is that strong?~ he was literally gobsmacked at the moment, before wincing as his body started acting up, causing another wave of healing energy to pass over him from the odd generator, this time much stronger due to the stronger shadows on the battlefield from Roveth's end.

Centralized break, Scene Change Hatsudo!

Wolfwood nodded while leaning against the wall with a frown as he listened to the faint explanation of it being complicated, but made no comment when a soldier heartless appeared, and not one of the ones he sent out to find Shiro, as it wandered over to Wolfwood and began chattering in it's own way, causing him to go wide-eyed, before opening up a Corridor of darkness to Roxas's Location "this guy spotted Shiroi Senko, and offered to come tell us to meet him where he is so we can follow this guy to Shiro."

Axel nodded with a smirk as he looked to the others "looks like things are picking up, so let's go get that wayward Shiro and then get some answers!" with that, he hopped into the corridor eagerly, both to rejoin Roxas, as well as to help the others with getting shiro back.
