TRAVERSE TOWN

District 1: Open
District 2: Closed Off
District 3: Closed Off

[District 1 is the only open district, currently. Districts two and three have been locked away. Only the wielder of the Keyblade will be capable of unlocking the gates that separate the districts.]


Kneeling in the darkened alley, Xselll grabbed the body by the ankles and pulled it into the darkness. Walking out of the alley the young man whistled softly to himself as he brushed his hands off. The man had put up quite fight but in the end he just wasn’t skilled enough. While Xselll’s first instinct had been to kill the man, he instead found himself sparing him. He no longer worked for the forgiver, so why should he act like he still did?

Making his way through the market square area of Traverse Town, Xselll sighed. The Keyblade was on the move but he had no idea where. The only thing he could do was sit, wait and hope the Chosen wielder of the Keyblade showed up. Looking over his shoulder Xselll glanced at the large group of heartless behind him.

“Stir up some trouble...maybe he’ll show up if we steal a few hearts.”

The obedient creatures behind him hopped and bobbed up and down in agreement.

Dismissing them with a wave of his hand the young robed figure brushed back the hood of his black robe revealing locks of blonde and black hair. “Get to work…”

The dark cloak he wore hugged his body nicely, showing off his lithe athletic build. Standing beneath a lamp post Xselll sighed. If this plan didn’t work he’d have to start traveling all the worlds again, a task he was rather reluctant to do.

“This better work, or I’m just gonna have to get violent.”

The swarm of Heartless began moving as one, big, black swarm, to devour the hearts of any and everything in their way. But they were met with resistance of the unexpected kind, other Heartless. The creatures fought, clawed, smashed, and bit one another in endless struggle, even as the two wielders of them watched from opposite corners.

Then Zachry decided it was time to make himself known again, forming a silver portal behind him and stepping into it, reappearing standing behind Xsell as he watched his Heartless fighting for their very lives against his own Heartless. Soft, long fingers moved up to remove a bang from in front of his eyes, and a grin spread on his lips.

"Well well, it seems I'm not alone here. Long time, no see..Xsell. It's such a small world seeing you here, information on the Keyblade Wielder? I hope so, because I'd so love to pry the information from you.''.

[Baka]

Lifting his head, Xselll laughed at Zachery's comment, his dark robes billowing behind him as he took a step away from the other young man. Turning on his heel, Xselll smirked at his former comrade.

"Having me followed now?" He asked raising an eyebrow as his smirk widened into a grin. "I'm touched. It's good to know he cares."

The young man watched as the Heartless tore one another apart. Raising a hand, he called his minions back tot he darkness. There was no point in wasting them, not if Zachery was going to take a few hearts.

Either way...the keyblade will be drawn to it...for sure.

Placing a hand to his chest as if he was surprised by the notion, Xsell chuckled once again. "You pry me for information? Oh, I'd love to see you try." He said , his eyes sparkling menacingly.

[Jamie]

He grinned as he watched the man, even deciding to join in on some of the witty banter.

"Well you left so suddenly, he just wanted to see if there was any chance of making things right between you two.".

He giggled gleefully as Xsell's heartless dissapeared, and his went on a rampant rampage. Come Keyblade Master, come and meet your new ally, or demise, whichever you choose.

Then Xsell finished talking, and Zachry skillfully flicked each wrist, a throwing knife sliding forward from each sleeve as he watched the man, still grinning like a little child with a new toy.

"Awww, come on, I thought we were buddies, you mean you won't give me any of the information I need? That's just wrong, friend.".

[Baka]

"Things'll never be okay between us. We're just too different. I mean, I'm still young trying to figure out what to do with my life and he's the pure embodiment of evil...besides...what would people say?"

The banter was forced. He was becoming increasingly bothered by Zachry's presence here. It wasn't odd for the Forgiver to send one of his lacky's to check on Xselll's whereabouts, but Zachry was hardly a lacky.

He had been second only to Xselll within the Forgiver's inner circle. If Zachry was here then there really was a good chance of the Keyblade showing up.

The chains wrapped about his arms, glowed softly. "Well, I was never one for doing the right thing."

[Jamie]

He grinned as he moved around some, idly spinning the blades in his fingers as he read Xsell's body language. The man was getting agitated, and anxious, that meant that something was going to happen, and quick.

Witty banter or not, Zachry had a goal here, and that was to reach the Keyblade Master, and he'd do that before Xsell could for sure. With a speed and grace second to none, he extended his right hand and tossed the first of the blades at him, charging forward and bringing his left arm back to let another one loose.

As they flew forward, aimed for the man's chest, Zachry pushed off into the air and flew at Xsell, aiming a kick for the man's face to send him flying out into the street in his already huge horde of heartless.

[Baka]

Zachry was skilled, that was true, but he was also arrogant and constantly underestimated his foe. The blades sped towards Xselll, and the young man simply raised his arms to his chest. The chains that had wrapped themselves about his forearms shot out from beneath the confines of his sleeves, catching the throwing knives in between their links.

The chains would quickly wrap around Zachry's leg and wind up to bind his body as well, rendering him immobile. It would be impossible for Zachry to teleport out of the chains, they were forged by the Forgiver the same one who had given Zachry his power.

Standing over his former comrade, Xselll peered down at him through blonde and black locks. "Remember how easy that was for me, Zachry." He said the chains clamping down tightly on the other young man. "Remember that the next time you think about attacking me."

[Jamie]

He felt the chains wrapping themselves around his body, coiling tightly to allow him no range of movement, as he fell to the ground, not even struggling to move. He knew it was pointless, and then he listened as Xsell said something about how easy that had been for him. A grin even spread over his face as he watched him, moving some and looking up.

"And remember how easily I fooled you!".

With that, a group of three, large sword swinging Heartless approached Xsell and aimed their blades for his back, causing him to either be injured or let Zachry go, either way, Zachry was getting out of this.

[Baka]

Leaping into the air, Xselll extended his chains to their full length allowing him to clear the Heartless warrior's blades. The chains would catch the blades and force the heartless into an awkward pile. The heartless's blades were now only inches away from Zachry's body.

Calling his own Heartless around him, Xselll glared down at Zachry. "You're good Zachry and had you known the extend of my ability you would have won, but you underestimated me."

Letting his chains quickly retract back to his forearms. Xselll tossed back locks of blonde and black hair. "Treat this as my last lesson to you...Don't underestimate your opponents..."

The darness engulfed him and Xselll disappeared into a portal. "You'll wind up dead." His voice echoed throughout the area.

[Jamie]

He grinned as the man backed away, the heartless evaporating before their blades struck him. When he was free of the chains, he stood and brushed himself off, watching Xsell move away from him and dissapear, telling him to never underestimate an opponent.

"Feh, like he knows a d**n thing, I was only pla ying anyway.".

He turned to look a group of Heartless just standing idly, as if waiting for him, and then he sneered.

"Well?!?! Get to it, ya numb nuts, destroy, destroy, destroy, we have to get him here and now."

[Jamie]

His legion of Heartless caused mindless havoc in the town, and a few people even got the bright idea to fight back. A few of them recognized the silver cloaked figure as the leader of the group, charging him with swords, guns, pitchforks, whatever they could.

His hood had been pulled up to obscure his face, save for his lips and chin. A sadistic smirk twisted upon his young face, as he watched these fools rush to their own death's, thinking they stood a chance with large numbers.

"If you fools want to dance, then let's dance!''.

With a flick of his wrists, two daggers slid down into his hand, gleaming in the moon light as he dashed forward. He took the knife in his left hand and tossed it straight up into the air, jumping over the first line of the crowd and doing a double mid air twist, landing in the middle of the crowd. With efficient, and agile, twists and turns, he slashed through a trio of the defenders with the ease of a hot knife through butter.

The knife if the air spun end on end, slowly it's ascent came to a halt.

Zachry once more took the air, this time a simple backflip. When he was once again vertical, he produced a peice of t hread with half a dozen knives attached. With a masterful half turn of his wrist, the knots attaching the handles of the knives to the line were detached, and the blades flew through the air finding their marks, laying low more of the fighters as Zachry landed.

Now the knife began to gain speed as it descended, still spinning end over end as the battle below it continued.

Three more of them left, and Zachry could go back to watching the destruction. Charging straight at them, Zachry reached down into a pouch on his leg and withdrew another pair of knives. He moved right between the group of men, turning on the ball of his foot and throwing one knife straight over the head of one, missing by scant inches. He then tossed his other knife, finding his mark in the form of the man's neck, piercing straight through.

The plummeting knife was moving swiftly now, even as the blade of the other knife collided with it, sending it veering off course even as the other one sped the opposite way.

The two men were arrogant now, he'd missed and he wasn't quite ready for his next attack yet. Then their eyes widened in shock as knives peirced their skulls, causing them to crash to their knees, dead before they knew it. He skillfully weaved the thread among his fingers, watching as it danced across the battlefield, reclaiming his knives from the corpses of his victims.

"Too bad...I thought that was going to be more fun then that.".
The surviving two remembered the miss though, getting a bit cocky.

[TGP]

Unnoticed in the fray, a young woman appeared at the edge of town. She was unremarkable except for the jagged scars upon her body, but no one was in any shape to notice. Seeing the attack, Sana ignored the people, ignored the apparent leader, and instead turned to attack the destructive Heartess. She worked quickly and efficiently, cutting through them with her sword as easily as through butter.

A claw caught her arm and dug in a bloody scratch, but Sana barely even noticed. She continued cutting through the dark creatures until at once, she realized how empty the arena was. Three humans left, one an enemy, and then the rest of the Heartless. Sana started making her way towards the people. The two men she didn't care about, but the one in silver... The dark taint was strong enough to taste. She might get information out of him if she could manage to hurt him enough.

Sana had no fear in battle nor did she really care about harming anyone. Her face was set in cold determination as she dispatched of a last heartless and got close enough to interfere in the "duel".

[Jamie]

Well, with only two more people to go, Zachry decided a little more fun was necessary. Swiftly he dashed forward with an extended elbow, catching one of the two in the gut, before grabbing his head and bringing a knee up to his nose, causing it to shatter. The other stepped forward to interfere, but Zachry swiftly used his hold on the man to lift him and send him spiraling into his friend, when he noticed the sounds of chaos diminishing.

He turned to look as the two men stumbled around one another, seeing his heartless gone..decimated by one person.

"Ah, what have we here?"

The grin covered his face as he turned to see the woman's approaching figure, eyeing her up and down though much couldn't be discerned. He chuckled some as he twisted his knives between his fingers swiftly and skillfully.

"I'm afraid you're crashing a party meant for someone else....I'm going to have to ask you to leave. "

[TGP]

(Ah, Jamie sweety, quiiiiick comment. Sana's got a keychain that hides what her keyblade looks like. It should just be a sword, so there's nothing to connect her with the Keyblade Master!)
