Location: Somewhere in the Ocean Between
Velvet: And you really don't have any idea of who this person might be?
The Daemon asked the young wielder while checking her gear.
John: As I already told Oscar twice! NO, we have no clue who they are! Master Yen Sid only gave us a world and a general idea of their location.
Oscar: I guess we'll just have to wait and see who it is then. With that being said, what sort of world are we going to?
John: I can't say, none of us have ever been to this world before. But I can tell you about the area we'll be searching. Apparently it's some sort of island with a volcano and there's people on it.
Oscar: I see, hopefully the people are friendly.
Velvet: Whether they are friendly or not is irrelevant. I'll devour anyone who gets in my way.
Oscar: Ve-
John: WERE HERE!
Oscar was cut off by John but didn't care, not with the view he was seeing now. The trio look out the cockpit of the vessel to see the new world they're about to land on.
Oscar: WOW, this is the sort of view one can never get tired from.
John: I know right. Everytime sorta feels like the first. But enough world gazing. Let's go!
The vessels descend onto this new world. As they finally reach the sky of this world Velvet spots something.
Velvet: Hey, what's that?
John: I don't know but- WHOW!!
John moves the vessel out of the way of the oncoming object that almost rammed into them.
Oscar: Was that a weapon of some kind!?
John: I…don't think so. Looked more like a rocket. And it came from where we're landing.
Velvet: Isn't that basically a weapon?
John: You're thinking of a different kind of weapon. Can we just go!
Location: Nomanisan Island
The trio finally lands on the volcanic Island jungle. It's currently night and given the fact they were almost hit by a rocket on their way here, placed the party on high alert.
Oscar: I don't think anyone is here.
Velvet: But that doesn't mean we're in the clear, someone had to have fired that thing at us. And they may already know we're here.
John: They may not be the case.
Oscar: What makes you say that?
John: All of our Gummiships have a function that makes it nearly invisible to trackers that aren't other Gummiships or computers that are made to track them. It's how we're able to safely land on worlds with more advanced technology than we're used to. It works… most of the time.
Velvet: In other words, it's not foolproof. And even if they really don't know about us, that just means you weren't paying attention and almost flew us into something nearly killing us all.
The young wielder looks towards his cannibalistic teammate with an annoyed expression and while her back is turned towards him he raises both middle fingers at her. Making the exorcist feel awkward.
Oscar: Anyway even though we just got here. I believe it would be in our best interest to rest for the night and start the search at dawn.
John: I would say "good call" but somethings been bugging me about this place.
Velvet: Is it about that "rocket" thing from before.
John: Ya, as we were landing I didn't notice anything that looked like a launch pad. Then again it's night so I can't really see too much of anything right now. But I still find it weird that a rocket was launched from an island.
Oscar/Velvet: What's a launch pad?
John: You know what, never mind.
Oscar: Well what do you wish to do right now.
John: We're not too far from the beach. I at least want to see it. Mostly because it's a big open area and it might be good as a starting point.
Oscar/Velvet: Alright/Let's go then.
John: (Alright!)
The party started making their way to the beach. While there they didn't really find much of anything. However they did find a broken chair that was wet, most likely from the salt water from the ocean. They did think that it was strange for a wet chair to look like it was burnt. That and the fact John mentioned that it looked like one of the seats for a plane.
They weren't there for much longer as John mentioned that the real reason he wanted to come to the beach was because he wanted to do a little night fishing.
Velvet: Are you serious!?
John: What's wrong with enjoying the little free time we have on missions. Besides I know a few tricks to get them biting quick.
The Daemon let out a sigh.
Velvet: Fine, just make it quick.
John: Alright!
The young wielder called forth a sword that both the Daemon the Exorcist thought was a little strange. Not as strange as the Keyblades but still very strange. It was metallic colored and looked like a bunch of different parts put together in the shape of a sword. Their eyes widened even more when said sword morphed into a… well a fishing rod.
Velvet: I thought the Keyblade was weird enough, but now I find out you have a completely different sword that can turn into a fishing rod.
Oscar: You can't deny, that weapon is strange. Where did you acquire such a blade?
John: You mean, Proshades. I found it on an abandoned farm while I was still traveling with my Master. I just thought it was just some regular sword at first but I soon learned it can transform into a bunch of different weapons. So long as I've seen, used, and know how to use that weapon of course.
Velvet: A fishing rod is considered a weapon?
John: I can turn into certain tools as well. And would you look at that I got a bite!
He reels it in. Revealing a large fish.
John: Got it!
Velvet: Great, can we go now?
John drops his fish and gets into a fighting stance, summoning his Keyblade in the process startling the rest of the party.
Velvet: Are you that passionate about fishing!?
John: It's not for you! It's for them!
A total of seven Heartless appeared on the beach. The first five were Surveillance Robot Heartless while the last two were the Defender Heartless.
John: Be careful of the one with the shields. They hit hard and they're tough to take down.
The trio was ready to take them down but the second they got close an explosion happened right in front of them.
Oscar: What is this!?
John: But none of them made a move!
Velvet: There's more than the ones in front of us! look over there!
Looking over to wear Velvet is pointing at and they all can see some Spear Lizards standing far away next to a lot of Detonator Heartless. One of the Spear Lizards picks up a Detonator and hits it with its weapon like a baseball at the party.
John: What the hell!?
Oscar: Was this planned!?
Velvet: Figure it out later! Fight them or die!
John: Dark Blizzaga!
John had just used his spell to make a shield of ice to help stall the explosive enemies for a moment.
John: You two keep the Defenders away while I take down the Surveillance Robots! And be careful of their shields!
John dodges out the way of multiple energy shots from the Surveillance Robots.
John: Dark Aerora!
After he cast that spell the Heartless were staggered and trapped within the mystic wind, all but one. John jumped onto it back and stabbed it with the Proshades just enough to hang on to while he let that Surveillance Robot fire on its fellow Heartless. He then noticed that Oscar was having a hard time with his Defender, so John jumped off so that he could aim his Keyblade for an attack.
John: Strike Raid!
He not only hit the last Surveillance Robot but the Defender that Oscar was fighting.
Oscar: Thanks!
The young wielder warps next to the Exorcist.
John: No problem. Now let's go help Vel!
Oscar: Right!
The Daemon girl had just gotten behind the Defender.
Velvet: Infernal Torrent!
The fire arte does some damage but not enough to take it down.
Velvet: Damn, he wasn't kidding when they said you're tough!
John/Oscar: Vel/Velvet!
Velvet: What took you so long?
Oscar: Sorry.
John: But we're here now!
John De-summons Proshades and brings out his Master's Keyblade "Watching Their Back". A second later the chains on both Keyblades start to glow and change into bat-shaped tokens with black chains connecting them to the blade. The blades themselves now change, in his left hand the new Keyblade "Solitude Pain" and in his right "Missing Ache". Both blades look exactly alike, the only difference being their color.
Oscar: ( He's finally using different keychains. )
John was going on for a counter attack when suddenly more Detonator Heartless exploded right behind the party.
Velvet: When did they get back?
Oscar: I think there were more hidden deeper in the jungle.
John: ( Damnit, this isn't right! This attack is a little too organized for the Heartless to do on their own! ) I'M ENDING THIS NOW!
The two Keyblades start to mutate and the cross-like teeth of the blade become larger in size, becoming a pair of giant shuriken. John then proceeds to throw both, hitting some of the Detonators. But he wasn't done yet.
John warps to one of the giant shuriken and stands on top of it, levitating in the air. He then called the other back into his hand where it began to spin fast and fast.
John: Take it all! Judgment Raid!
With all his might John finally throws the shuriken, taking out some more Heartless in one hit. The shuriken then went back around on its own and attacked some more, then again, and again, and again. Some of the Heartless try to run away only to be struck down the second they try. The process repeated until all Heartless in the area were dealt with, and any hearts they claimed, released.
Velvet Oscar look at the Keyblade wielder in amazement. They both had a feeling he was holding back before and they were right, as he had just taken out all the Heartless in just a few minutes.
Velvet: Do you…think he's still holding back?
She asked the Exorcist.
Oscar: I… wouldn't be surprised.
John floats back down to the ground to meet his allies. When he touches down and de-summons his Keyblades, the rest sees a bothered look on his face.
Velvet: What's with that look?
John: Let's head back to the vessel.
Oscar: What's wrong?
John: I think this attack was planned. Let's move our Gummiship somewhere else on the island, now.
John begins walking to the ship, stopping the others from continuing the conversation. Not wanting to be left behind they follow him, all of which ignoring a strange bird on a nearby tree branch. Upon closer inspection the bird is actually a security camera in the shape of a bird.
On the other side looking at the live video feed a small group of armed men in uniforms sit in shock of what they have witnessed. Behind the men was another man that had wild red hair and
was wearing a black suit with a black cape along with white boots and gloves. The most notable thing about the suit is the fact that it has a giant "S" on it.
Man with the "S": Impressive. Looks like that guy wasn't kidding when he said those Keyblade wielders were something else. …NOW listen, all of you!
All guards stand up from their seats and face their leader.
Man with the "S": Keep an eye on them for now, if anything changes with them tell me right away.
All Guards: YES SIR!
The man with the "S" leaves the room.
A Few Hours Later
LOCATION: Regalia Type-V
Oscar: Are you two still safe?
He speaks into the onboard communicator. Inside of the cloaked vessel.
LOCATION: JUNGLE
John: Ya, we are.
Speaking into his Gummiphone.
John: Vel and I just got inside the building.
After the party moved their vessel somewhere else on the island, they had decided to get some rest before going out. A little before sunrise John had suggested they split the party. Someone stays with the ship for aerial support and/or a quick get away if needed, while two of them go and search the rest of the island. John was already planning on being a member of the reconnaissance team because of the Heartless. Oscar and Velvet did a coin toss to see who would go with him. Velvet won.
The reconnaissance team found and snuck into a heavenly armed and guarded building. They had found themselves in some sort of storage room.
LOCATION: MAIN BASE (STORAGE ROOM)
Velvet: Do you think we could find anything useful in here?
John: Let's try not take anything for now. We don't know if their the bad guys yet.
Velvet: Wait isn't that.
She ran over in the direction of the door and picked up a greatsword that she was familiar with.
John: Is that a greatsword? Doesn't really fit with the rest of the stuff in here.
Velvet: This is Stormhowl.
Oscar: *Did you say Stormhowl!? HERE!?*
John: If you two react like this seeing the sword then that must mean we'll find who we're looking for somewhere in here.
Velvet: they're not Artorius but from personal experience I can say the owner of this sword is very skilled.
Oscar: *YOU know Legate Shigure?*
Velvet: Legate Shigure, is that his name? I don't really know much about him. All I know is that he was a daemon from Titania I ran into, and was really grateful when I told him where to find his precious Stormhowl.
Oscar: * What are you talking about? Stormhowl is the sword used by one of the only two Legate-RANK exorcists of the Abbey, Shigure Rangetsu. I saw him just a few weeks before our world fell. And believe me he was NO daemon. He is considered to be Lord Artorius's right hand. Also I of all people would have known if either the sword or the wielder was on the island. *
John: You sure this Shigure guy did just become a daemon after the world fell to darkness?
Velvet: But the guy I met back at the prison was definitely a daemon. So what's going on?
The trio were all confused about this. This Shigure Rangetsu is supposed to be the soul wielder of the greatsword known as Stormhowl, a high ranking exorcist in the Abbey. But Velvet claims to have met someone who says Stormhowl was theirs. They party decided not to waste time thinking about it right now.
Oscar: *... We can figure this out another time. Our questions will be answered once we investigate this island. *
John: He's right. We won't know until we look for clues, also this building oozes with darkness. I can't ignore that.
Velvet: Do you think someone is controlling the Heartless?
John: With how the darkness feels around here, I wouldn't be surprised. Let's just take the sword and start the investigation.
Velvet: If that's the case you should hold on to Stormhowl, it will serve better if it's in the hands of someone who actually knows how to use a sword. Besides, it will just be in my way.
John: I'm fine with that.
Velvet hands the sword over to John, who immediately notices something about Stormhowl.
John: ( This doesn't feel right? ) Hold on a sec.
He unsheathes the sword only to find the blade is broken. More specifically it looks as though it's been cut to a stub.
John: What the hell!?
Velvet: Well so much for it being useful. It's basically a small knife.
Oscar: * What do you mean? *
John: The sword is broken.
Oscar: WHAT!? BUT HOW!? Stormhowl is known as the Unbreakable God Blade! It can't be broken!
Velvet: Well it is. Can we go now?
*INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT*
John/Velvet:!?!?!?
Oscar: What is that!?
Velvet: Damn we must've been found out!
John places Stormhowl on his back and takes a peek outside the door. He sees guards, a lot of them running past the door, but none stopping to enter the room.
John: I don't think they know we're here.
Velvet: What makes you say that?
John: Not one of them has stopped by this room yet. And I don't think they've found our vessel yet because of the clocking. So maybe they know we're here but don't know where to find us. But just to be safe, Oscar, you should stay on guard. We'll be singing off for now.
Oscar: Understood!
John: Alright, you ready Vel!? Looks like the coast is clear.
Velvet: Let's go.
They both take one last peek before bolting out the room, as fast as they can while being cautious not to be spotted. But it was already too late.
Unbeknownst to the pair, someone who was hiding in the shadows had noticed them. A very…… curvy brunette woman in a red skin tight suit had seen them and looked surprised by their presents.
LOCATION: HOLDING CELL
Two men are suspended in the air within a glowing oval. They had sphere shaped shackles on their hands and feet making sure they couldn't move.
One of them was a middle aged blonde muscular man. He had on a bright red suit with black mask around his eyes coupled with gloves and boots. In the center of the chest area of the suit was an insignia of a yellow "I". The other man was younger, early twenties most likely. He was wearing something that looked like purple, red and gold colored traditional clothing you would see a samurai wear with a Sode on his right shoulder. He has unkempt black hair covering the right side of his face with a ponytail.
Samurai: Sounds like they're having fun out there. I wonder how much trouble they'll give your old buddy.
Man with the "I": … … …
Samurai: But damn, I get we're his prisoners but the least he can do is give us some food 'n' water if he's gonna shackle us like this. Am I right?
Man with the "I": … ... …
Samurai: I mean, come on. I was treated better than this back in Titania. Not that I like being locked up or anything.
Man with the "I": … ... …
Samurai: The second that riot started I was out of there. Would've made a clean getaway if it wasn't for all those strange daemons showing up.
Man with the "I": … … …
Samurai: I'm just glad I was able to reclaim Stormhowl before those guys swarmed me. Too bad it was taken again when these guys got me, but I guess it's only fair that they took my "life". After all, I took so many of their pals life's.
Man with the "I": … … …
Samurai: Maybe if we wait long enough that girl I told you about earlier, the one that started the riot, will come along and start another one. Well she's probably long gone by now.
Man with the "I": … … …
Samurai: Besides with only the two of us in this prison, I can't say whether or not help will come. Guess we'll have to hope we get lucky enough to get a golden opportunity to get free. But between the two of us, I'd say we can pull off some serious havoc together when that time comes.
Man with the "I": … … …
Samurai: Say do you want to know what I'm going to do the first chance I get to escape again. I'll go and re-reclaim Stormhowl. After that… I'll start my hunt for the man I want to kill.
Man with the "I": … … …
Samurai: So with that said, what are you going to do when the time comes … umm, Mr. Incredible right?
Mr. Incredible: … … …
Samurai: oh right, I guess I never introduced myself. My name is-
LOCATION: ARMED BASE
The brunette continues to follow the black cladded duo and witness the pair run further into the base and turn a corner. Not wanting to lose sight of them, she rushed after them. Now with them back in her field of vision they turn another corner. She starts to get suspicious of them, wondering if they even know where they're going.
Brunette Woman: (Where are you two going? Ugh, Please don't tell me I've just been wasting my time.)
When the woman reaches the next corner she is met by Velvet's daemon claw getting ready to strike at her.
Brunette Woman: (WAIT! DID THEY KNOW I WAS FOLLOWING THEM!?)
The woman's fight-or-flight responses kick in and she just barely dodges out of Velvet's attack. The claw ended up piercing the metal wall causing Velvet's arm to get stuck for a second. The woman was ready to counter but before she could, she was hit by a huge gust of wind blowing her off her feet and sending her back creating more distance.
Brunette Woman: ( I must be a little rusty.)
Before she could get back on her feet, she is faced with John holding "Missing Ache" to her face.
John: (That suit?) You know if you'd wanted something from us you could have just asked.
Brunette Woman: (Where'd he get that from!? I only saw the sword on his back!) Wait a minute! I'm not one of the bad guys!
Velvet: Hard to take the word of someone who's been following us from the shadows. Now tell us who you are or I'll devour you!
Brunette Woman: Devour?
John: NO! I told you we don't go any further than we have to. …Okay, let's start with names, you go first Miss...
Brunette Woman: Mrs. Incredible.
John: Okay then-
Velvet: Give us your real name.
John/Mrs. Incredible: !?
Velvet: If we're giving you our names, then you have to tell us your name. NOW.
John: Hey!
Mrs. Incredible: Don't worry, I get it. My name is Helen Parr and I'm here because I'm looking for my husband.
John: Your husband, why would he be here?
Velvet: Can't say this is the ideal place for a honeymoon.
Helen: Look I just think he's in some kinda trouble and I just want to find him. Now do you mind if I can get up?
John: Right, sorry.
Helen: Don't worry I understand. Now your names.
Velvet: It's Velvet Crowe.
John: And mine is John Doe.
Helen: !? Is that really your name?
John: What's wrong with my name?
Helen: … … Nothing. ( I guess he doesn't realize it.) So what are you two doing here?
Velvet: We're looking for the owner of that sword on his back.
She points towards John.
Velvet: Do you know where they keep their prisoners? We got off track when we noticed a certain someone following us.
Helen: (This one has issues.) No I don't. This facility is like a maze.
John: Well we're all looking for someone. Why don't we all just look together?
Velvet: You can't be serious! We just met her, she could stab us in the back at any moment! We don't even know if her story is true!
Helen: Look I get you don't trust me, but and I'm not saying you have to but I truly am just looking for my husband and that's it.
Sensing the tension rising between the two, John steps between them hoping to defuse the situation.
John: Okay, okay let's just calm down. We aren't getting anywhere like this. We should all just work together for now to find who we're looking for and go our separate ways.
Velvet: Fine I'll play nice.
Velvet shoves John out of the way and looks towards Helen.
Velvet: But if you pull anything, I'll devour you on the spot.
Helen: Noted.
Velvet: John, you'll take the lead. I'll handle the rear.
The trio now continue to walk down the hallway with Velvet glaring daggers at Helen. Causing the other two to feel uneasy by the amount of pressure. Helen walks closer to John seeing him as the more laid back and approachable of the two.
Helen: [Your friend isn't a very happy camper isn't she.]
John: [Vel's has issues and she's not the only one I got mine to. She can be blunt and distrustful at times but she's not really a bad person. Just angry and vengeful. You'll understand if you just spend some time with her.]
Helen: [Okay then.]
Velvet: I can hear you!
John: Did I also mention she can be a little scary sometimes.
Velvet: WHO YOU CALLING "SCARY"!?
Helen: Okay, so can I ask what your powers are? Mine is elasticity.
John: Our power?
Velvet: Why should we tell you that?
Helen: In case we end up in a situation that calls for us to fight together. Just the bare minimum is fine, but if I'm unfamiliar with it I may need a run down.
Velvet: Okay then, my daemon arm here can devour the life force of whoever it touches. How long they're in contact with it or if I'm just really trying determines how much of their life force is taken. But they should be fine so long as I don't devour everything they have. I keep it wrapped in these bandages so that I can go out without drawing too much attention and it helps lessen the effects when not in use.
Helen was visibly shocked hearing about Velvet abilities, she never ran into someone with such lethal power before.
Helen: … That's…well that some power you got.
Velvet: It's not the sort of power someone would want. But it's an effective tool for my goals.
Helen: I see. ( What does this girl have planned? And why does she call it her "demon arm"?) So what about you John?
John: Me? I don't have powers.
Helen: What?
Velvet: (What is he talking about?)
John: Is that going to be a problem?
Helen: No, I'm just surprised. I didn't really see too many or anyone doing…this kind of stuff without powers. You must be very well trained then.
John: … … I am but that's now all.
Helen: There's more?
She makes eye contact with John and sees that his eyes start to glow.
Helen: I thought you said-
John: I lied. You see, I grew up in an area with lots of people like us. But a lot of people there have a bit of a prejudice against those with very weak or no power at all. So when you asked I wanted to see if you had that same belief. Sorry.
Helen: …Don't be hun.
Helen was shocked to hear that. She never heard of a place with just supers living in a community together. Such a community would have been perfect for her family and solve so many issues they have. If it wasn't for that belief system they have it would be the ideal place for them to live.
Helen: (I wonder if there are other neighborhoods like that, minus the prejudice. But still what would it be like to live in a town like that?)
John: Anyway my ability Aura Manipulation. It basically lets me control my own life force to perform a bunch of different efforts, like controlling elements to a degree and materialize weapons I find or create.
John told a half lie. He had chosen to give the name of his actual ability and play off his magic and his Keyblade as his ability. The reason he did this is because he doesn't really know what powers are considered normal on this world. On his home world if needed he could just sample some aura from someone else but here he is unsure if they even use aura for their abilities. So magic is the safest option.
Not wanting to raise Helen's suspicions he told her this hoping it would be sufficient.
Helen: (A girl that can steal life with a boy who can control it. It sounds like these two were meant to be partners.)
Velvet: Can we hurry it up!?
LOCATION: HOLDING CELL
Inside the holding cell the two imprisoned men wait for something to happen. The samurai now silent being alone in his thoughts only for his attention to be changed towards the woman now walking towards them.
She is a tall, tan-skinned woman with platinum-blonde hair and green eyes. She wore business attire with high heels. The samurai watches as she moves to the nearby control console and presses a button on it. To his surprise it was the switch to release both him and Mr. Incredible.
Samurai: Mirage?
Mirage: Yes, now hurry there isn't much time.
As soon as she finished her sentence Mr. Incredible wasted no time grabbing and lifting Mirage by the neck. She tried to get free or at least lessen the grip but to no avail. With rage and hatred Mr. Incredible spoke.
Mr. Incredible: There is no time at all.
Mirage: Please wait.
She struggled to say with the amount of pressure the man in red is placing on her neck.
Samurai: Whoa whoa, Let's hear what she has to say first big guy. I at least want to know why she's releasing us now.
Mr. Incredible: STAY OUT OF THIS!
He snaps at the samurai. The samurai is aware of what these people did to his family and understands why he's acting the way he is. But the samurai notices something else, something no one else seems to have noticed yet. He can see the darkness that is leaking out from the man with no family.The samurai is unsure what that darkness is but it gives off a bad feeling.
The man in red now turns his attention back towards Mirage.
Mr. Incredible: Why are you here? How could you bring me lower? What more could you possibly take away from me?
Samurai: Hey big guy, calm down. I don't think she can answer you with your hand around her throat, much less breath!
Mirage, still struggling for air, somehow utter somewhat of a sentence.
Mirage: Family…survived the crash. …They're here…on the island.
Mr. Incredible: …They're alive?
He relaxes his grip on her neck, dropping her to the floor. Mr. Incredible begins to smile, overjoyed by the news that his family is still alive. He takes up both Mirage and the samurai and hugs both of them.
Mr. Incredible: They're alive!
Samurai: hmm, Good for you man.
Out the corner of her eye Mirage notices something, three individuals standing at the door. That being the trio of Velvet, John, and the wife of Mr. Incredible Helen. Mr. Incredible let go of the two happy to see his wife, not even thinking about what she might have seen.
Mirage: (That must be Mrs. Incredible. And she just saw me in the embrace of her husband…that is bound to cause a misunderstanding. I didn't think she was a super as well. Wait, is that their kids? I thought they were younger, they both look like they're in their late teens.)
Samurai/Velvet: It's you!
Mr. Incredible: Helen.
Mirage: Hello, you must be the Parr family. …I'm-
Before she can say anything else Helen punches her in the jaw by stretching her arm across the room, knocking her out. In that same punch she tried to hit her husband but he was able to dodge out the way while grabbing her wrist at the last second.
Mr. Incredible: She was helping me to escape!
Helen: No! That's what I was doing Bob!
The man pulls his wife to him while she is angered by the scene she had just witnessed. When they're close enough he fully embraces her.
Bob: How could I betray the woman I love?
Helen: Oh, So you're referring to me?
The samurai walks past the husband wife to speak with Velvet.
Samurai: Well look who it is.
Velvet: Didn't think I'd run into you again so soon.
Samurai: Yeah, nice to see you again little Miss. Riot starter. Did you start another riot to spring me out?
The samurai says in a playful tone.
Velvet: My name is Velvet and I didn't come to this island knowing you were here. I only knew it was you when we found your sword.
Samurai: wow, This time you're hand-delivering it!? Even better!
John: I got it right here.
He said as he presented Stormhowl to the samurai.
John: Sorry, when we found it, the blade was broken.
Samurai: Don't worry about that. The sword was broken before I was sent to prison. But I still consider it my "life". So I owe you all a great debt, one I vow to repay.
Helen: This is the guy you two were looking for?
Velvet: That seems to be the case.
Bob: You know them, Rokurou?
Velvet/John: Rokurou?
John: So you're really not this Shigure guy?
Rokurou: No, you're thinking of my eldest brother. I'm Rokurou Rangetsu. Nice to officially meet you.
John: Same, I'm John.
Bob: So are these two the kids you mentioned before on the coms?
Helen: No, I ran into them on the island not too long ago. The kids are safe in a cave.
Mirage: No, they're not!
Mirage, who just regained consciousness, announces to the group. Bob John both help her get back on her feet.
Mirage: I think they may have triggered the alarm.
Helen: WHAT!?
Mirage: Security has been dispatched to search for them in the jungle. You have to hurry.
Helen: I don't believe this! Now the kids are in danger!
Bob: Well if you suspected danger, why'd you bring them.
Helen: I didn't bring them, they snuck on!
John: No time for that let's move! Your kids are going to have a difficult time with the security guards and the Heartless.
Bob/Helen/Mirage/Rokurou: Heartless!?
Mirage: He's actually using those monsters!? Wait, are you two!?
Velvet: You know what they are?
John: We can question her later! Right now I'll call our third member who is still in the jungle to start the search.
They all began running out the building and into the jungle all while doing this John kept trying to contact Oscar. But for some reason he doesn't pick up.
John: What is doing? This isn't like him.
Finally after a few more tries Oscar responds.
Oscar: *John is that you!?*
John: Yay listen, leave the ship and start looking for two kids wearing red suits with the letter "I" on their chest!
LOCATION: JUNGLE
Oscar: I'll keep an eye out, but just to let you know I was just in the middle of a confrontation with armed men.
John: *They found you!?*
Oscar: Indeed. But they have all been neutralized.
The exorcist stands alone in the middle of downed security guards. All of which are bruised and with lacerations on their body's. No one is dead, but they won't be standing on their feet anytime soon.
Oscar: I'll begin my search, if I find them I'll head back to the ship.
John: *Alright, be careful.*
After hanging up with John, Oscar thinks about how to find the two kids. He starts to hear something off in the distance and decides following the strange sound would be a good start. The exorcist rushed into the jungle hoping to find the source of the noise. The sound was getting closer as though it was moving towards him for some reason being, it was.
In a flash something zoomed past Oscar. He didn't know what it was but he could tell it was small and red. Following not too far behind the red blur are three floating black saucers with
blades rotating at the ends. He could see the security guards in the cockpit piloting them. The guards all stop when they notice the exorcist standing in their way.
Security Guard #1: Who the heck is this guy!?
Oscar: I'm-
Security Guard #2: Question later! The kid is getting away!
Security Guard #3: I'll stay behind. You two go after that brat!
Security Guard #1 2: Alright!
The other two guards fly off, leaving their teammate alone with the exorcist.
Security Guard #3: Damn it! Just how many of you supers are here!?
Oscar: ( Supers? ) My name is Oscar Dragonia-
The exorcist was cut off when the security guard started shooting a barrage of bullets at him. Luckily, Oscar had dodged out the way and started sprinting between the many trees in the jungle using them as cover.
Security Guard #3: HOLD STILL!
The Security Guard kept on shooting his gun at the exorcist, not allowing the sword fighter to get close, not unless he wishes to get shot. While avoiding the bullets Oscar quickly draws his sword and looks in the direction of his opponent looking for the perfect opportunity to strike. He knows he can take the guard easily; he just needs to get close enough.
The exorcist starts to increase his speed more and more to make sure not even one bullet grazes him. At some point he actually sees just the right opening and is ready to attack. He rushes forward towards his opponent and jumps onto the saucer.
Oscar: Shadow Shock!!
By the time the guard realizes where Oscar is, it was already too late. The sword was swung with enough force to create a vortex of wind leaving many deep lacerations on his body. The security guard passes out from the pain, slumping down in the seat of the saucer which crushes down to the ground. Oscar walks off of it and takes a breath.
Oscar: ( I'm still not used to facing opponents that use such advanced weaponry. Maybe I should ask John advice on how to deal with them. )
*Distant Gunfire*
The exorcist heard the sound of gunfire and ran towards the sound once again.
Oscar: ( More of them!? They're probably fighting either the kids or the others! )
He stopped just as he was ready to enter the small clearing to see another lone security guard with his gun aimed and ready to fire at a moment's notice. Oscar notices how the guard seems to be searching for something and wonders if it's him. As if to answer his question the guard said.
Lone Security Guard: You can't hide forever little miss disappear!
Oscar: ( "Little Miss disappear"? Is he fighting an invisible enemy? )
As if the world itself is answering all of his questions today. Oscar sees a large tree branch start to levitate in the air and hit the guard in the back of his head knocking him to the ground. Still in the bushes Oscar sees before he eyes a young girl appears out of nowhere holding the tree branch. She has long black and is wearing the same suit that John had described.
The guard had noticed her and swung his arm at her feet causing her to fall down. The guard had quickly grabbed his gun while the girl was starting to get up so she could run. Oscar had noticed the gunmen was ready to fire so he left out from the bushes with sword in hand and aimed to attack the gun.
Oscar: Tiger Blade!!
With a downward slash of his sword he was able to cut the gun in half and just when he was about to send the sword upward to attack the guard himself, the guard had clumsily moved out the way.
Lone Security Guard: What the hell!? Where'd you come from!?
Oscar: Have you no honor!? You were about to shoot an unarmed girl from behind!
Lone Security Guard: So what, it's my job!
The Lone Security Guard looks at Oscar and begins to realize who he is.
Lone Security Guard: Wait a minute, you're one of those magic guys from another world aren't you!?
Oscar was shocked at what he just heard. This man had just outed him being from another world. He was told that no one must know about the other worlds and yet the guard is aware of them. Oscar points his sword at the downed guard with an intimidating look in his eyes.
Oscar: How do you know of the other worlds? Are you the ones who used the Heartless to attack us last night?
Lone Security Guard: Hey man chill out! That's just what a pal of mine that works on the night shift said. I don't know anything else. Neither one of us believed it was true. Wait … are you saying all that stuff is true!?
Oscar: You have my apologies for what I am about to do next.
Lone Security Guard: Wha-
Oscar had kicked the guard in the jaw knocking him out cold. He then turned his attention to the girl who had stopped running when she noticed Oscar's attack on the man.
Oscar: ( She probably heard that.) Are you unharmed, miss?
Invisible girl: um, Ya I'm all good over here. ( D-Did I just get saved…by an actual white-knight? I stopped dreaming about stuff like that when I was like…ten.)
Oscar slowly approaches her while sheathing his sword.
Oscar: You have nothing to fear, my name is Oscar Dragonia. I was asked to help find and protect you on request from your parents.
Invisible girl: I'm Violet Parr and wait… you've heard from my mom dad! Do you know where they are!?
Oscar: Sadly I do not. But I can keep you safe until they arrive. Tell me do you know where your sibling is?
Violet: OH NO DASH! We got surrounded! We were told to use our powers to get away, so we did! I told him to run and and!
The Invisible girl was clearly starting to panic and who could blame her with all that was going on. Oscar wanted to help her so he gently placed his hand on Violet's shoulder and looked her in the eyes with a smile. She blushes slightly.
Oscar: It's okay we can still find him. Stay close to me and we'll look for him together. You have my word as an exorcist.
Violet found comfort from the exorcist words and started to calm down.
Violet: …Okay thanks um, Oscar.
Oscar: I am merely doing my duties as an exorcist. Now let's start the se-
Out of nowhere the red blur that had zoomed by before had returned and tackled the exorcist at high speeds to the ground. The blur turned out to be a child with blonde hair wearing the same red suit as Violet. The child began pummeling Oscar in the face repeatedly.
Fast Child: DON'T! TOUCH! MY! SISTER!
Oscar: Wait!
Violet: DASH STOP! Oscar's on our side!
The boy now known as Dash stops his assault and looks towards his sister.
Dash: What? He is?
Violet: Yes he is!
She grabs hold of her brother, removing him from Oscar.
Violet: I am so sorry about my brother.
She said as the two siblings began helping the exorcist up.
Dash: Ya, sorry about punching you.
Oscar: PHA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
To the siblings' surprise, the exorcist starts to laugh.
Dash: [I think I hit him too hard.]
Violet: [Dash!]
Oscar: Don't worry, Dash, correct? You don't have to be sorry, you were simply trying to protect your sister. I would have done the same if I believed my sister was in danger.
Dash: Cool!
The boy looks to his sister.
Dash: I like this guy better than Tony Rydinger.
Violet: SHUT UP YOU LITTLE PEST!
Unbeknownst to the trio the previously knocked out guard began to get up. He noticed his gun and picked it up and started to aim it at them.
Oscar had sensed the guard and was ready to defend the kids. Just as the enemy was about to attack, Violet had jumped in front of everyone and had placed a forcefield around them in the shape of a sphere, keeping them safe.
Dash: How are you doing that!?
Violet: I don't know!?
Oscar: Very impressive Violet.
Violet: oh, Thanks.
Dash: Okay time to go!
Oscar/Violet: !?
Oscar: Wait!
Dash did not wait. Within the sphere he started to run using the forcefield like a giant hamster ball. Violet was just fine because she was levitating within the sphere, Oscar wasn't so lucky. As he was rolling inside the sphere, visibly uncomfortable by the speed they were going.
They kept going long after they were out of range of their attacker. Eventually Dash lost control of the momentum while going down a hill and the trio started to roll out of control. Just as they were about to hit something they were suddenly sent flying into the air by a sudden huge gust of wind and landed in another clearing.
Oscar: Is everyone unharmed?
Violet/Dash: We're okay.
The super siblings answered in a weakened and dizzy tone.
Dash: Can we go again!?
The sister and the exorcist look at the boy with an annoyed expression.
Oscar: What hit us?
Violet: It was a little hard to tell, but I think I heard someone yell "Arrow" or something like that.
Oscar: Arrow?
John: It was "Dark Aero" actually.
John had corrected, causing the trio to look up at him. For some reason he was riding on the back of a giant bird none of them were familiar with. Not too far behind him was Velvet Rokurou as well as the parents of Dash and Violet also riding the same bird.
Bob/Helen: Kids!
Dash/Violet: MOM, DAD!
The family being reunited run up to each other for a group hug. It may have been a few days or hours since they last saw each other but for them it was an eternity. The other worlder also meet up and introduce the exorcist and the samurai.
Oscar: Stormhowl belongs to you!? But how!?
Rokurou: Simple, my Stormhowl isn't the Stormhowl. Shigure was the oldest so he gets the original, the rest of us are given imitations.
Oscar: And the two of you are truly brothers?
Rokurou: Well ya, that's not something you want to lie about. Especially in the Rangetsu clan. But enough about that I'm curious as to why an exorcist would willingly work with a daemon? You have to admit that's not something you'd ever think would happen.
Before Oscar could form an answer more security guards came and surrounded them. However they didn't come alone as there were multiple Surveillance Robot Heartless and one Guardian.
Security Guard: What the hell!? Why'd they let the samurai guy loose!?
Security Guard: That freak killed 6 of us last time!
Bob: Wait, you actually killed them? I thought you were just trying to get me to react to something.
Rokurou: That's a damn lie!
Helen: Oh, thank-
Rokurou: There were 7! One of the bodies fell into a lake!
Most of the guards take a step back in fear of Rokurou.
Security Guard: Don't worry he doesn't have a weapon! The sword on his back is broken and we have them out numbered! We can win!
John who has yet to materialize his Keyblades brings out a pair of daggers with built in engines and gives them to Rokurou.
John: Can you make these work?
The samurai inspects the blades and a malicious grin appears on his face.
Rokurou: oh, These will do just fine.
Security Guard: Me and my big mouth. ATTACK!!!
At that moment Violet set up a forcefield to protect everyone. The only one that wasn't in the protective barrier was John who was changing at one of the Surveillance Robots.
Taking out a few of the guards on the way he reaches the Surveillance Robot and begins the most effective way to take them down, using them to attack the enemy. This helps the others get some space needed for their counterattack.
Rokurou, Bob, and Oscar stay close to one another and focus on the human opponents on the ground. Helen, Dash, and Velvet all pay attention to the ones either in the air and back rows. Violet focuses on defense creating force fields for everyone if it looks like they are about to take a big attack. All of which help set up the Heartless for John to take down while he makes sure none of them can get surrounded again by casting spells.
John: (This isn't going to end, unless I take out that big heartless. Take that out, the rest of them will follow.)
Velvet/Oscar: JOHN!!
Just as he was about to call his allies for help they yelled out his name first.
Velvet: Stop taking so long and go after the big one!
Oscar: The enemy is starting to overwhelm us!
John:... (Should I really go all out?)
John ponders for a moment. Until someone's voice starts drowning out the fighting.
???: Whoa whoa whoa, time out!
In that same moment Velvet, Helen, Violet, and Rokurou are all caught in a strange beam of light that is protruding from the strangers fingers.
Bob: Buddy stop!
Syndrome: I've told you it's Syndrome!
The man known as Syndrome examines the four he caught. Noticing the matching uniforms.
Syndrome: Hold on, wait a minute. … No way, Elastigirl!? YOU married, Elastigirl!? Oh this is just too good! First the Keyblade wielder, now a family of supers. This is the best day ever.
John: Hey, ass hat! Why do you know about the Keyblade!?
Syndrome: That doesn't matter now, what matters is what I'm gonna do to everyone if you guys don't surrender.
John quickly looks at his surroundings, only to see more Heartless popping up. As well as Oscar is being on his own on the far side of the field.
Not wanting to put his team in danger he chooses what he thinks is the best option.
John: Okay, I'll go with you.
