[h1][center][i]The Truth[/i][/center][/h1] [color=Dodgerblue]"Hey, how dare you talk to the King li--"[/color] Donald was about to speak up, his feathers flaring up a bit as it was clear he didn't like the tone that Joshua was speaking to the King with. Fortunately, Mickey gently stuck his arm out in front of Donald, shaking his head at his friend to calm him down. In response to this gesture, Donald did indeed back down; albeit begrudgingly so. [color=lightcoral]"You are right Joshua, please forgive me for not being straight with you".[/color] The King had an apologetic tone to his voice as he heaved a small sigh. [color=Red]"The thing is... we don't think it is a glitch, that is what we are hoping it will be, but are preparing for the worst nonetheless".[/color] Sorami spoke up now, typing a few things into a computer, bringing up a new image on the screen. It was a Heartless, more accurately a Shadow, located in a swamp somewhere. It had a faint blue aura surrounding it and appeared to be somewhat sluggish in its movements. [color=Red]"This is what a Heartless affected by the WDS looks like. The WDS uses the power of the Cornerstone of Light to weaken and drain the strength of Heartless away until they disappear". [/color] Within about thirty seconds, the shadow seemed to just vanish, disappearing completely. [color=Red]"This is footage from a regularly scheduled scan on Far Far Away about a week ago". [/color] Now she typed in something else, pressing the enter key once again to bring up a different bit of footage this time. Multiple shadows, about six of them, only half of the small group having the blue aura about them. [color=Red]"This was taken not too long after the anomaly was spotted, about three hours ago to be precise, when the abnormal signature was spotted. Some of the Heartless are being affected by the WDS, while others are not. We have run tests and scans again and again, but all things seem normal. The Heartless there haven't gotten any stronger, nor have any powerful Heartless appeared". [/color] [color=lightcoral]"We believe this strange signature is the cause for whatever is making some Heartless not affected by the WDS on this world, and whatever it is isn't in the system".[/color] Mickey spoke up now. [color=Red]"Which is where you all come in".[/color] Sorami spoke up now. [color=Red]"We would normally have a team on this... but all of the other committee members are on other assignments and in truth, the Keyblade is the best weapon for dealing with the Heartless. Which is why having a team of Keybladers investigating this world for the signature is the best course of action, and you seven, aside from King Mickey and myself, are the only other Keybladers out there that we have found".[/color] After that, she pointed to the bracelets they had just received and possibly put on, unless some of them decided to wait. [color=Red]"We need you to use the new radars in those bracelets to locate this signature. If its some kind of unidentifiable glitch, despite not having been seen in any scans, we can fix it. If its some unique power that is in that world, then we can deal with it". [/color] [color=lightcoral]"The main thing that we are afraid of"[/color], Mickey speaking up to address one of Joshua's spoken concerns, [color=lightcoral]"is that whatever this is could potentially spread to different worlds, making Heartless elsewhere unaffected by the WDS. With your Keyblades, we can make sure that any unaffected Heartless don't go to other worlds if this can be spread through them and with you all as a team, we can hopefully nip this in the bud here".[/color]
