Things had gotten out of hand at an accelerated pace which Tyra-Zhen was used to, having been working for the Emperor for such a long time, she had learned that many problems often arose, problems that she and other loyal subjects to the emperor had to take care of. Though normally this was no issue whatsoever, this time around things were a lot different. With the factory invaded by the unbound hearts, the core of the factory had been compromised. She was unsure of the complete details of the situation but a familiar essence rapidly rushed throughout the factory. It was a darkness unlike what most people had experienced. In fact, Tyra was certain that most of those inside the factory had NEVER dealt with such a force. As the dark chaos emanating outward from the core room reached Tyra-Zhen, she gasped aloud, feeling something that was extremely rare for her. [B][I]“Master?? I must be mistaken.”[/I][/B] Her voice was swallowed by the darkness, Tyra-Zhen blinked several times, thinking she’d seen Erebos. [B][I]“I’m actually scared.”[/I][/B] Tyra’s hands were shaking even as she summoned the Naught Key, using its power to separate herself from the darkness. [B][I]“Damn...just a little bit more and I should be able to overwrite this power and....”[/I][/B] Tyra screamed as her body was blown backwards into the wall of the collapsing factory nearby her, at that same second a white glow enveloped her form, causing her vision to fade out as the factory was destroyed.

Her eyes opened up, a whiteness surrounded Tyra-Zhen that she recognized all too well. [B][I]“I see, I managed to activate the gate of white just in time.”[/I][/B] She glanced around the area, only seeing a whiteness that stretched on into the distance. There were few identifying structures or landmarks in sight, but Tyra-Zhen knew immediately that with no predetermined location to be transported to on her part, the Naught Key had taken her directly to Valhalla, a place that she had spent hundreds of years in training with her second master after her first one had abandoned her, leaving the empire for his own selfish reasons. In her time spent with Erebos here, she had come to realize that darkness and light were merely two sides of the same coin. Even though those of the realm of light tended to consider the darkness and those whom used the forces of the dark bad, in fact it wasn’t darkness that was particularly a bad thing, merely the things people chose to do with it. Her opinions didn’t matter too much, she’d already chosen her path, following the ways of the empire. The very notion of what was ‘good’ or ‘bad’ was considerably in the eyes of the beholder.

[B][I]“If I got transported here from the gate of white, it must mean that all of our energies were localized during the explosion.”[/I][/B] Tyra sighed, continuing to walk down a path of endless white until the ground dipped down at a steep angle, further along, about 500 or so feet into the distance, the steep descent came to an end, bringing Tyra-Zhen into a small enclosure. [B][I]“Looks like this is it.”[/I][/B] Tyra jogged down to the center of the clearing which appeared to be void of anything other than white lighting, just like the rest of the area but Tyra knew better. The Naught Key materialized inside of Tyra-Zhen’s hand again, her arm swiftly moving in a perimeter around the invisible doorframe in front of her from top to bottom, revealing a silver door with a lock in the center. Her keyblade started to thrum as Tyra pointed it directly at the lock, causing a loud and distinctive clicking sound.

[B][I]“I’ve led myself right to you Cerden. You couldn’t hide forever...”[/I][/B]

AGRABAH(BASILISK INN) ROOM 3F

A loud click sounded when the lavatory door opened itself from the inside, the door swung open slowly, Tyra-Zhen walking past it into Cerden’s room.[B][I] “Ah Flora it sure has been awhile.”[/I][/B] Tyra-Zhen didn’t take off her hood, nor did she take note of anything else inside the room. She was infuriated just from seeing Cerden’s face. She turned and snapped at him. [B][I]“How could you abandon me?? Why did you leave me all alone to succumb to the darkness!?!?!”[/I][/B]
