Even while standing next to him, asking him questions about the next course of action, Jaakuna heard no words come from Avalon's mouth. It was as if there was something inside him that banned his voice to speak. Jaakuna wasn't sure to make of it, but his friend went down the stairs. Jaakuna had no choice to follow. He had to make sure Avalon was at least in his right mind. And, let's be honest, Jaakuna was curious as all hell himself. He wanted to find out the truth. The walk down the stairs built layers upon layers of nervousness inside Jaakuna's gut. He felt the tension build so much that he felt himself getting sick. He forced it back inside him, but the feeling just got worse. Every step added to it and even when they were off the stairs and started walking down a hallway. They both came to a door. Avalon led the two of them, so he reached out for the door first. His wrist turned slightly and the knob made a creaking sound. The door itself opened and the two boys walked through it. They entered the corridor and instantly, they were rushed with a very ominous feeling. Avalon probably didn't recognize it, but Jaakuna did. He knew exactly what this feeling was. It's the feeling he felt ever since the forest. He's been feeling it all day long. Jaakuna knew that whatever answers he needed was at the end of the corridor. As the end came to their view, the duo heard someone speak. Jaakuna instantly knew that voice. It was Patchy and she was talking to someone. Avalon knew it too and he ran forth without even thinking. Jaakuna silently cursed to himself and ran too, a blinding light stopping him in his tracks and he covered his eyes with his arms as he didn't want to get blinded in either eye. When Jaakuna finally opened his eyes after they had a chance to adjust to the brightness, he saw something quite unbelievable. Even after seeing someone fly and having a Keysword, this beast was something else. Before anything could be said or done, the gorilla beast had Avalon in his grasp. JAakuna didn't think and was about to attack the beast until a command by the older man in the room came and the Gorilla monster set Avalon down. The man called him Marzinite. [i]That's quite the name.[/i] Jaakuna wasn't really sure what to think now, but when the conversation between AValon, Patchy, and the one who was identified as Monte began, Jaakuna just stood there silent and took it all in. They began to talk about what Marzinite was, Patchy began by saying it was a heartless. Something then clicked in Jaakuna's mind. He saw the eye color of Marzinite. They were golden circles just like that shadow creature he saw earlier in the day. [i][color=ed1c24]So, they're called Heartless?[/color] [/i] Jaakuna now knew who they were, but he still didn't have all of the facts, so he had to listen more. The topic changed to the Fox Lady and who she was. Monte noted that he was surprised that Avalon didn't know who she was considering that she was following Avalon and Jaakuna obsessively for a month. He would then mention some kind of experiment that had backfired and then went a little off-topic and said that Avalon and Jaakuna both have so much potential. [I][color=ed1c24]Potential? What does he mean?[/color][/i] Jaakuna wasn't sure. Patchy rudely said that Fox Lady was apart of Avalon -- or was she referring to Jaakuna? -- The blonde didn't know, but he listened intently to her as she would reveal that her and Monte were not from Twilight Town and that the world is one of many. She would then say something about the Keyblade Academy and how about its laws. [I][color=ed1c24]Keyblade Academy? The fuck!?[/color][/I] Jaakuna truly was clueless now. Patchy then continued and said that she is a Keyblader and that Monte was a Keyblade Master. That didn't help Jaakuna much. It was half of what Patchy said and half of how she said it. She could learn to be a bit more polite to the clueless ones. Monte would speak even more about how they experimented on Avalon. Then, his gaze came to Jaakuna, who at this point was still taking in all of the info given. It was a lot. He gave Jaakuna a look that drew the blonde to Monte's words. He spoke about how he could see that Jaakuna wanted more from life, how he wanted to get off of Twilight Town and explore the horizons. He spoke about Jaakuna's potential. He then leaned into Jaakuna's ear, whispering how darkness ran through his veins as much as it does his. Jaakuna's eyes widened with extreme interest. What he was saying and even more so the display of a black-like fire made Jaakuna's jaw drop. Even more so, Monte seemed to present both of them with an opportunity of some kind, but could it really be true? Jaakuna wasn't sure. When Avalon asked about what was taken from him, Patchy said very little. All she revealed was that Avalon wasn't using it and that's when Jaakuna's friend looked towards him, as if wanting to know what the blonde thought about all of this. Jaakuna really wasn't sure what he thought about it all. These two present them with a notion of a universe out there and some academy for Keybladers. That was enough, but then Monte had to put the idea in Jaakuna's mind about some darkness inside him that he never knew he had to begin with. He truly didn't know what to think. "[color=ed1c24]I'm not stupid enough to deny that there are other things out there. After seeing Patchy here fight the Fox Lady, everything I thought was impossible is in fact the very possible.[/color]" Jaakuna was right there. The fact that things such as Heartless -- he still wasn't sure on that -- exist, and people can fly and produce key-shaped swords out of thin air, he was open to believe anything. There was one thing still lingering on his mind, "[color=ed1c24]Let's say for argument's sake that I have this supposed darkness inside me. How come I never felt it? You said that it's inside me and its as strong as yours is, Monte, so how come I can't conjure up fireballs at will. You said we have potential. Hell, we saw Avalon's potential, right? That Fox Lady, she came from him right?[/color]" JAakuna said, "[color=ed1c24]So how come this 'so-called' darkness inside hasn't come out yet?[/color]" Jaakuna was smiling the entire time he spoke, as if he was mocking the very things that Monte said. Jaakuna's rather arrogant and cocky attitude continued as he began to casually stroll through the room, his fingers tracing along the walls. He whistled nonchalantly as he began to touch the tubes on the back center of the room. Jaakuna felt a surge of...something inside him when he touched the tubes. "[color=ed1c24]You know, I've been getting these vibes all day long. Really, it began since the Forest. I couldn't place it, but touching these tubes give me a super dose of those same vibes.[/color]" Jaakuna smirked, "[color=ed1c24]I wonder what will happen if I break them, hmmm?[/color]" Jaakuna looked towards Monte and Patchy, "[color=ed1c24]I wonder if something bad will happen.[/color]"
