The First Keyblade (Claim Thread/Open)

[Okay; bit of a special thread here this time! Yuuki has hit the requirements to try for a Keyblade, and in this thread, I'm gonna try to get her one! As this is the very first thread in this vein, it may not be perfect.

This thread will likely be treated as an Event, this means that NPCs can be introduced for the purposes we find fitting. Including, but not limited to, combat! As it is an Event Thread, it can also be dangerous for those involved, be careful!]


As Yuuki exited the Tram Tunnels and emerged next to the Tram Station, it... Felt like there was something rising within her. This was beyond just reaching her goals, or achieving a new power. It... Was difficult to describe, really. It felt like there was a purpose she was about to realize, but what it was, she didn't know! But she'd ended up getting so lost in her thoughts that it was only after a minute had passed that she realized she was just standing deathly still and probably weirding some people out. She'd let out a small sigh.

Maybe she was just more traumatized from that battle than she thought... The girl would calmly make her way over to the railing on the platform that overlooked a decent portion of Twilight Town, and then she'd gently lean on it. Why was it that something in the air felt off? That thing wasn't going around spreading poison again, was it? ...No, this felt like something different. Yuuki didn't know what it was, but it was definitely bothering her, if only because she didn't understand WHAT it was! She'd close her eyes, just taking a few deep breaths.

For some reason, she saw a face, one that she couldn't quite remember all the details to. But it was one that she felt like she had seen before, a person she met in her past... But who could that be? Yuuki would start pondering on that as she opened her eyes, stood up straight and crossed her arms. "Someone I've met before, but I've forgotten...", she thought aloud to herself. Maybe there was someone here in Twilight Town that looked like that? Mm... No, she'd probably be able to easily remember them then.

So did anyone know the person in question? That might be a possible avenue to explore, but the truth of the matter was, she couldn't remember enough details to really be of any help. Was it really going to break down into being a case of just not knowing enough to get any answers? Screw that, maybe that's why she could set out on her journey in the first place! Y'know, besides going out to help everyone that needs it. She'd do some good deeds, and then ask around if anyone has seen someone matching the vague descriptions before.

Yeah, it'd probably be a little silly, but... Hey, otherwise she'd just be asking for no reward, so why not at least try it? If there was any luck, she'd find what she was looking for! Feeling pumped, she'd raise one fist up into the air. "Okay, so I know what I'll do now! Perfect!", she'd state, it was time to stop being so glum and start moving forward! The voice in her dream said that there was going to be more challenges.

And they would be even harsher, but she had to push through it all. No sweat, she could handle it!

A little injured from his battle with the train and the strange things that happened after. The small armored heartless had chosen to perhaps... stay close but out of eye shot for awhile of most people. Choosing to carefully sleep a little of the day away. He'd chased one human off earlier nearly smashing him. But finding the stash of treats and goodies that distracted him long enough for the man to escape and in time forgotten all together. The little food stand at the side of the tram station that had a window for people to order from currently marked close was a little higher then his head while on the inside. Only occasionally a tip of a helmet peeked out but with the layer of glass between him and the outside most didn't notice. He'd been devouring candy and ice cream for several hours and still never felt full. His little body oddly never even bulging bigger at all either as if his stomach were some portal of some kind, just throwing the food into some other dimension.

The floor was covered in wrappers and several bottles of at least six types of soda. At present however he'd been crushing cans a little replica of twilight town he'd constructed out of cans, food boxes, and soda bottles. It was the kind of replica that even great artists would admire at how good it looked in comparison given the materials used. But in moments it was crushed so quickly it may have never actually needed to have been built. "Graaagh Save mee!" He'd utter in a light scratchy almost child like voice as he crushed it. Pretending he was several hundred more times larger then he actually was. Kicking bottles and cans in the little food station building. Ending it when most had already been knocked down and he placed the little toy crown made of paper. One most likely meant for kid customers and placed it his head to fill more like the grand heartless king he truly deserved to be. But as he walked to and fro end to end enjoying his new little play castle. He caught eyes of something outside of the food station!

He'd pull over a wooden crate that prior had held soda battles and using it as a stepping still climbed up high enough to rest his hands on the little flat surface near the ordering window and be at chest level with the strange little order window. He could see her outside of the window! The woman from before. The one that had scratched and clanged him around like a over sized bag of M&M's. He peered out and remained silent for a moment scratching his head. In his head imagining a familiar image and what might have gone good with the cookies he'd devoured moments ago as well.

in his head was imagined


Imagining if she'd given him some candy or some soft hugs instead of slashes ad ow ow cuts. Or sweet treats! Giggling to itself as it blushed lightly through the helmet and climbed down and around out the door. Along the outside of the edges of the little building to the little roof all the while mumbling i a scratchy kid like whisper of a song. "Sweet as candy nice with spice! Soft squishy boobies happy and nice! Yum Yum tum tum. Happy with rum rum!" He'd say climbing on the roof. Its at the moments calm nature possibly to do with that among all the food it'd shoved down its gullet today... all four bottles of rum the owner had for the hard days of working. Were also emptied. It would smile laying prone watching the strange girl from before. Unsure if it wanted to slash at her or find a way to get her to pick him again. Giggling now and again as he kept low and prone only a tiny face visible within the helmet but a little out of eye shot unless one was thinking to actually be looking for him. All the while keeping his little crown secured to the exterior of his helmet.

(Music)

It was ultimately shaping up to be a quiet day in Twilight Town. As much as she was psyching herself up... Life was just going on as usual. The girl would let out a quiet sigh to herself. Still, it was a nice time of day. With a small smile, she'd glance around the city... And then, she would notice something. The Sandlot was unusually active, sure, people had a habit of having Struggle Matches all the time, but this... It wasn't so organized, it was like people were being attacked. Yuuki would squint her eyes, trying to get a better look.

That was when she saw something mainly of a white color, stretching and floating through the air in an otherworldly fashion. "What the hell...?! No way!", she'd make her surprise vocal, and then turn to run down to the Sandlot. There was no time to waste, people were in danger and she had to protect them! Along the way, people were already panicked, rushing into their homes and sometimes shouting for her not to go to the Sandlot, but she paid them no heed. If she stopped... She couldn't forgive herself!

Riyya could be down there, for all she knew! Finally she would round a corner and see all of the chaos firsthand. There were five of those things running rampant... They definitely didn't look Human, and they were different from the armored being she fought before! Yuuki didn't have any time to hesitate. This was what she had trained earlier for! "Hey! Why don't you pick a fight with me?!", the girl would shout at the odd beings in white. And they would slowly turn their attention to her and begin an approach.

It bought the injured some time to escape... Or at least, they were no longer being attacked and pulled away by these things. Of course, now they were coming for her. Yuuki would shift her stance slightly... They looked pretty wily, unpredictable. They would be hard to hit, and even harder to actually hurt. But on the flipside, they really didn't seem like they would pack much of a punch either! So small blessings, she'd just have to fight smart and she'd come out of this on top! Yuuki would steady out her breathing...

No need to rush in just yet. The girl would take the time to examine them as much as possible, she was able to get a rough read on them, but she needed more time to tell what they were actually capable of. And as she's learned quite well from her experiences... Rushing in blindly is NEVER a smart idea. The best thing to do now was bide her time and see just what it was she was up against, especially since she was fighting alone. Five against one... That'd be a pretty difficult fight, but she enjoyed it that way.

After all, she wouldn't get any stronger without challenging herself!

What started as a visit to Twilight Town to sate her curiosity was quickly ruined. She had just been stepping off the train when shit went down hill faster than you could say 'Isn't this ROMANTIC?!'. Of course inside the station you couldn't really tell what was going on, as this particular invasion was most likely centered on the more populated areas. With that said, as soon as she stepped out of the station she immediately knew something was wrong. There was screaming in the distance, and she had taken note of strange movements from above her. Slithery little white bastards moving along the walls above her heads.. Dusks. They had to be dusks. There wasn't a type of Nobody she knew of out there that moved nearly as fluidly as those creepy fucks.

It was true that she was technically on the side of these creatures, but she had standards. There were only so many lines she would cross before she said 'no'. Genocide and complete chaos were definitely some of those lines. Today was supposed to be something of a day off for her, but one cannot simply take a day off when bull crap like this is happening. Throwing her hood up to conceal her face entirely just as Cyxsur usually would, she sprinted away from the train station and down the street, keeping pace with the next wave of Nobodies headed for the sandlot. She couldn't fight them while they were moving so quickly and strangely, so she would have to give chase until they reached their destination. What was it that they were after, anyway?

"Keyblade.."

A sharp pain would shoot through Lax's skull as the deep voice chimed in. The Nobody stopped for a moment, putting her hand against her forehead and shaking her head. "Get outta my head!" She roared out loud. If not for the fact the street she was on was completely deserted due to the Nobodies, someone might've found that really strange. When she got no response she realized she was losing track of where those Dusks were going so before continuing on she would mentally scold herself.

Upon reaching the sandlot she would immediately take note of the human woman. By the look of it, she was ready to fight. With how outnumbered she was, Laxamie couldn't help but be impressed by her bravery. As much as she wanted to know what was driving the woman, there were more important things at stake right now. Rushing forward she stopped at Yuuki's side and drew her weapon from her side. As it was now, it was simply a decorative handle. But as she hit a button a long silver energy blade would extend from it. With her other hand she drew a revolver looking weapon. "There's more coming.." The Nobody would warn as she got into her own fighting stance. "When you hit them hit them hard. Don't worry about how stylish it looks, these things are incredibly durable."

Chris had practically collapsed in his dream. What a strange one it had been filled with those dark creatures the light had called heartless. The last thing coursing through his memories of that moment were all but the simple small things in it. The rest seemingly foggy to his state of mind. Bits and pieces were coming back through from the dream. He could only remember what that voice had assured him. That everything would be safe when he would awake. Did that mean he was back home now? Home with his mother again on the destiny islands? Did that mean they were safe and not mere shadows?

Something didn't feel right but his eyes felt rather heavy as he tried to awaken. Everything felt so cloudy from it..and surprisingly cooler than it normally did around the beach. What was going on? Were his senses messed up from the dream? What else was messed up or was he still dreaming even? No..this felt differnet. This felt alive so to speak. It still didn't answer the fact of where was he even? Chris tried to open his eyes once more now beginning to find even more control with them now than he had before.

Chris began to open his eyes even further as he was appalled by the fact of how different everything looked. As if the town was held in a virtueless twilight giving it a darker but yet lighter sort of gleam to it. He had never seen a place like this before. His eyes scanning the looks of the brick buildings which he couldn't give name to even besides that they looked like homes. The ground as well wasn't soft like how the ground of his homeland was. He could feel his heart beginning to rush in a panic as well over the wonder of where was he.

Had that voice lied about his old home? Than where was he now? that question however seemed to not be one that was going to be answered soon. There was a sound of someone crying for help. Someone he had never heard before of such a sound. His instincts however easily began to take control as he found himself rushing towards the voices he had heard. Worst case he figured maybe they would know where exactly he was even. It was a better guess than he could've listed.

As soon as Chris had arrived he watched the creatures before the other two humans as well. They looked like the things from his dream! Was that why he woke up here? To help out the others who were here now? He reached back for the dream blade only to find his blade made of palm wood. Right it had been a dream where that had happened. "I can see we don't have much time for small talk. So I hope you don't mind if I help give out a hand. Name's Chris by the way." Chris would say even with a slight grin not letting these creatures enjoy any hint of his fear. His palm wood blade raised giving off a sign of something strange of him. For the type of palm wood his blade was made from from was rather light and was indeed a lot lighter than any palm trees you would find in this world. Alas though Chris had no idea he was in a different world entirely.
