~* 001 *~ || A Rather Unwelcome Welcoming Party

[fullofheart]

[She had no clue what would be awaiting her upon the other side of the train's doors. The whole ride was one of reflection mixed with curiosity and worry. Was this some sort of strange method to get her to friends who she had merely been standing on the beach for the entire time that she could remember? She closed her eyes, not seeing the shadowy

[Video-->Action?]

[fullofheart]

[Kairi takes heart in those words, and does let out a sound of surprise once the doors go down. But none of the initial zombies make it past that entryway; they're burnt to a crisp like bad toast. She can't help but think the armored figure fighting looks familiar, and then remembers that there's a stray zombie stumbling her way.

She stashes the pocket-watch in one of her bags so the screen is black and the sounds of fighting can still be heard and mentally hopes this works. The familiar weight of Destiny's Embrace tugs at her right hand and she smiles a tiny bit, glad she remembered she actually could summon this]

Stay away!

[One hit sends the Zombie back, but it lunges and she narrowly avoids getting bitten, smacking the Zombie on the back of the neck with the keyblade and sending its body crashing down, decapitated. She recoils from that body soon after, towards Aqua, the Keyblade disappearing from her hand as she shakes her head and wraps her arms around herself, shivering before looking up at the armored knight who she assumed was the woman in the audio from what she could hear] This was...not the welcoming party I'd expect...but thank you so much for coming to help me.

[DOUBLE "Action", OMG]

[limitless_land]

[Kairi probably hears a quiet "How do you do that, Master?" And not long before the armored figure is joined by another, taller figure that just might be familiar to her. Quite frankly, the burst of fire seemed to be much more effective in this situation compared to spamming single blasts over a long period of time.

Guess in times of crises, he could care less about other things like taking care of ones pride. There's also a vague hint of humored relief in his eyes about a certain princess remembering how to summon her Keyblade.]

Guess you just arrived to the party a bit too early, then... or maybe late, given the circumstances. [Riku brushes a bit of ash off his shoulder, smirking before managing a Dark Shield just in front of the door. Somehow, the small little ping! the zombies made against it as the bounced off was oh, so satisfying.]

[YAY!]

[asapphireheart]

Lots of practice and a large array of spells at your disposal.

[Aqua lets her armor fade and smiles to Kairi. Especially after the display of summoning her Keyblade, one that is very familiar to the Master. She's still surprised, sometimes, that she'd passed it onto Kairi.]

Are you okay? They didn't bite you, did they?

[A little bit of mothering. Just a little.]

[Teehee yay]

[fullofheart]

[She hears it, alright, but that doesn't mean she believes it at first. It takes her a minute, before she's running over to Riku and stopping. Just before hugging him. She wants to just...yes, its him. And thus the hug is initiated] I'm so glad to see you...both of you. Thank you so much...

[She looks back at the woman whose armor just...faded. Her face is so familiar...while mental memories may have forgotten her heart has not, and like a bubble through water the name Aqua comes to mind. Still..."latched" onto Riku, so to speak, she shakes her head] No, they didn't. I'm...a little shaken up, but I am okay. You guys...showed up just in time. [A little smile appears on her face then] I would have asked if you guys were bitten too but it looks like they never even got close enough to do so...

[/o/]

[limitless_land]

Guess that means I still lave a lot to learn- [Kairi, whhhhy. Why you ruin his street cred so quickly? Not like he really cares at the moment, wrapping the arm around her that isn't holding the Keyblade and holding her close. Normally he would want to stay that way, but for right now it was more important to stay alive.]

Hey, what are friends for? [He smirks faintly, squeezing before relaxing his grip on her.]

[*parties*]

[asapphireheart]

You already know a lot, for someone who never had a master.

[Aqua watches the two of them for a moment, before looking towards the barrier that Riku had cast.]

How long do you think that will last?

[And in the mean time, she unclips the single piece of armor she still has attached to her sleeves.]

And you might want this, Kairi. Just in case. I can keep them farther away from me and they can't bite through this metal.

[*dances?*]

[fullofheart]

[Its just what she does, Ri. That embrace is good enough, and when he relaxes his grip she relaxes and lets go, allowing him to focus as she blinks at Aqua, coming closer to gently accept the armor-piece that she was given]

...Thank you, Aqua. [She gives an embarrassed smile to the woman however, looking back down at the unfamiliar object] But...how...exactly am I supposed to use this...?

[*dances with*]

[limitless_land]

Guess we can thank Mickey for this much.

[...also Maleficent and Xehanort, but he isn't going to say that out loud. He nods, focusing on the shield over the door as much as he can while still talking. To be honest he's rather rusty at it other than the small shields of dark he was taught to generate by Ansem the Wise.]

It's been a long time since I tried anything this large. Maybe five minutes without sealing it completely?

[In other words, he isn't sure. Though the amusement at them trying to figure a way to crack through is getting rather old.]

[Ilu2]

[asapphireheart]

Nothing from Master Yen Sid?

[What did you and Sora do all that time? B| Right, focusing on Kairi again.]

Here, I'll show you.

[She takes a hold of it and carefully clips it around her upper arm. And then points to the circle near the top.]

It's magic based, and protects the wearer from Darkness. All you have to do is quickly hit that spot to activate it. It will automatically trigger, as long as your capable of magic and Keybearers are all capable of it.

Five minutes should be all we need, to make sure we can get to safety.

[iluboth. <3]

[fullofheart]

[Kairi keeps quiet, focusing on Aqua as she puts the armor piece or whatever its called around her arm. This physical contact, however, brings back memories of flowers and happiness and a tinge of fear and she shakes her head when the instructions are given.

So...she assumes she has to hit it, right? Which she does, and almost immediately (given a minute or so) she feels...different. Her vision seems narrowed, but that's because she's wearing a helmet. How fast is this magic, exactly? It shocked her that the armor could appear so quickly, even on her] ...Wow...

[She takes off the helmet and looks down on her person to examine the blue-violet armor that Aqua's armor piece gave to her before looking back at Riku with one of those faces. The ones that say many things but can't get all of them out in time]

...Five minutes...is there any other way out of here besides where the shield is?

[alltheloveforyou2ok?ok]

[limitless_land]

Sora met him, not me. [Not yet, anyway.] Someone had to make sure the worlds didn't fall apart.

[He'd tell the rest later, but right now: survival. That was his main goal at the moment.

Turning his attention slightly to Kairi, he gave a faint nod. He could see all those thoughts in her eyes and understand due to their knowing each other for so long. That face was returned by that look of sheer determination; the same one that he always got when he knew an opponent would be tough, but he just couldn't back down from the challenge. Aqua could take care of herself, and now Kairi had a form of defense from their biting ways. Still, he would act as a shield and sword.]

There's the train tracks, but be ready to run. [Monsters and zombies... Sounds like Never Was all over again.] I think mine and Terra's place is closer, Aqua.

[Allofit~]

[asapphireheart]

[The armor, thank goodness, activated for Kairi easily. She'd have never mentioned it but after recreating her armor here in the city, she was afraid that she might not have done it right. And it had altered form for the Princess of Heart. That was definitely something she'd never have anticipated.]

Then to your place it is. Mine is closer to the chapel.

Think you're ready, Kairi? Riku and I will cover you when we go.

[Nothing would get near her. Not while she and Riku stuck close to her.]

[woot]

[fullofheart]

[Kairi took her first few steps in the armor, helmet under her arm as she paced back and forth, getting a feel for it like it was a second skin she needed to wear. Just...chunkier and more metallic. With a huff, she looked out one of the windows and winced, backing up a bit. A distorted face of a zombie just greeted her at the window moaning and trying to get in...]

Y..yea. Lets go now. I don't want to become a Zombie buffet at this point. [She looked towards Riku with a smile, lifting her hand. Hesitating, she quickly focused and Destiny's Embrace appeared with a sigh of relief, feeling slightly unfamiliar with registration of the gloved hand holding it]

[:'D]

[limitless_land]

[Riku watched, but tried to focus on the barrier as much as possible until the last possible moment as Kairi got used to walking around in a suit of armor. Lucky they have a Master close by, because he wouldn't have been as sure about getting her to safety by himself in his condition. It was grounding, and knowing just how skilled Aqua was definitely helped.]

Alright. [He smirked, nodding for them to go ahead and start running. He'd be the rearguard, and as Kairi summoned the Keyblade, he moved to her right-hand side and motioned for her to follow him. Soon as they make it to the forest, the blockade would be gone.]

Re: [:'D]

[asapphireheart]

You're the last person that would become a zombie treat.

[Aqua Ran along with Kairi and Riku when they were ready, smiling at how easily Kairi appeared to summon her Keyblade. This was a good time to gauge how well she really used it, give Aqua a chance to see what she had to work with.

Aqua quickly cast a Thunder spell to discourage anything from following too closely, as they ran along the tracks. It was too bad that her Glider couldn't handle the weight of all three of them, or she could get them out of the forest quickly. She'd... definitely be teaching the Glider skill to them soon.]

Re: Re: [:'D]

[fullofheart]

[As soon as they're onto the track Kairi starts running. She's fast, but not as fast as Riku. Every so often a Zombie will cross her path and she'll slice it down, but come on two and she veered off the path to come back around and leave those behind.]

How many are there...?

[She glances back to Aqua before continuing on the path, not knowing where she was going and she knew her pocket-watch was...somewhere secure on her person. The question was how long could she take until...]
