@Renny I'm not sure Takatora can return. He would have taken himself out of the group when he left the Force Nest and no one has any reason to invite him back in.
@Renny I'm pretty sure it's all from Astray. Speaking of which, since the Hayabusa's base model is the Astray Blue Frame combined with the Red Frame, I gave it a few of the perks of both suits. Namely the Scale System from Blue Frame (so it has some underwater mobility) and an optional Flight Unit from the Red Frame (though the Flight Unit is a bit bulky and thus cannot be equipped at the same time as the Dragon Buster, so only one or other can be can equipped at a time). And for for the hell of it I threw on Trans Phase Armor in case shit ever hits the fan. Hopefully that makes the Hayabusa much more useful and not just a "Discount Deathscythe" as vance put it.
@Renny

I recall Isamu mentioning in the IC that he didn't recognize the series that Hayabusa comes from. Don't know if you yourself know, but the model in the pic is actually a hybrid of the Astray Red Frame and Astray Blue Frame from the Gundam SEED Astray manga.


"Hm, well let's hope you can keep that confidence then." Viper said in response to her pupils. Their response wasn't at all surprising to her. She knew them all well enough to have predicted such a reply. Still, it was nice to hear it regardless. While in the Lanes Between, the armored forms of Viper and her three pupils appeared to glide through the void. It was the Keyblades' power that allowed their respective wielders to safely traverse the Lanes. Viper held up her own Wayfinder and, after a moment of staring at it, used her Keyblade to make a new opening. This opening led to another world, the first of many in what could very well become a treacherous journey.



Traverse Town was a somewhat unique world. It was a world where a few of its inhabitants were actually refugees from other worlds that had been lost. But it was still unknown how those sort of survivors found themselves here. Still, that meant that Traverse Town was a surprisingly common stop in any Keyblade Wielder's travels. And it seemed that now was no different.

In an alleyway tucked away in First District, away from prying eyes, an opening appeared seemingly from nowhere. An armored figure stepped through it followed by three others. As soon as they were through, the opening closed back up and their armor seemed to dissolve into particles of light that vanished before they even fell to the pavement. This arrival spot was very much deliberate, that much was clear to the three pupils. That would also hint at Viper having prior knowledge of this particular world. As well she should, for this was not her first time visiting it.

"As I suspected." Viper said, holding up her Wayfinder for the pupils to see. It suddenly had a faint glow that was not there before that moment, "See how it glows? The glow will increase in brightness as the Wayfinder is brought closer to the X-Blade, or at least to any of its twenty pieces. Go ahead and look at yours, they too should be glowing." and in fact she was right. Should any of them check their own Wayfinder, they would find them also glowing in a similar manner, "The truth is, I came to this world already when the pieces were first reported stolen. I thought I might be able to investigate but that proved fruitless without a Wayfinder. Still, I had a hunch there was something dark about this world, and it seems I was not wrong." she looked at the glowing Wayfinder and sighed a bit.

"Alright, I'm going to investigate my hunch. I'd like you three to investigate around the First and Second Districts for now. Ask around and see if anyone has seen or heard anything strange lately. If there's trouble, don't be afraid to use your Wayfinder to call for help, the last thing any of us needs is to be overwhelmed." with that, she pocketed her Wayfinder and began to walk away until she disappeared into the Third District. That would leave X, Abel, Farce to investigate in however way they deemed best.





"Oh, Ianthe..." said Celestia with a sigh. While one might normally react with annoyance, Celestia just helped the girl back to her feet with a smile, "Well, it's the thought that counts, anyway." the way she sounded, one would never guess that she had just been told her Mark of Mastery Exam had been postponed. Then again, Celestia had become quite well known for her ability to just smile and keep a brave face in spite of everything she faced.

"We'll bring them home, Master... I promise." she said to Cormack. As far as the girl was concerned, they weren't just allies or comrades, they were her friends. And she would sooner give herself over to the Darkness than to see any of her friends do so. Celestia activated her button to call on her Armor. After this, she summoned her Keyblade and used it to open a way into the Lanes Between, "Now let's see where the Wayfinders take us to..." she looked down at the Wayfinder she took for herself. It was a faded shade of pink and its edges and borders were a bright, silvery white. After a moment she looked to her fellow pupils to make sure they too were ready before leaving home for the first time in her life.



Dawn's light had just begun to stretch over the horizon. It was a lovely sunrise, one that normally would promise an equally beautiful day. But for the builders, a bright and sunny day just meant a heated day's work. That wouldn't stop them, though. Too much blood and sweat had put into the Great Wall for the construction to just end, especially when it was so close to completion. And so, as the morning light grew ever brighter, the builders emerged from their tents and quarters to greet the rising sun and another day of hard work soon began. The Wall itself symbolized a promise made to the people by their beloved Emperor, that they would be protected from their enemies and it would be done so by their own hands. It was something that quite a few of them found motivation in, and even some of the older builders were vowing to live to see the Wall's completion in their lifetime.

Meanwhile, an opening from the Lanes Between appeared in an isolated bamboo forest some distance away from the construction site. And from that opening emerged a trio of armored figures. The way to the Lanes closed behind them and their armor seemed to melt away into beautiful sparkles of light. Celestia looked down at her Wayfinder, which was indeed showing a faint glow. The Master said that this glow indicated the presence of a piece somewhere in the world. And it could also mean that Master Viper was here somewhere as well, searching for it.

"Alright then. Looks like construction in the distance. What do you say we head in that direction and see if any local people have seen strangers about lately?" she asked her two companions, Tenshi and Ianthe before she began to walk in the direction of the Wall in the distance.
Raven and Falcomon watched as Leomon unleashed his attack. Rather than join in, Falcmon nimbly returned to his partner's side. Both he and the masked thief were thinking the same thought. They weren't needed here anymore, Leomon was more than enough to settle things with this Maildramon. Falcomon offered a silent glance to Raven, who hadn't spoken a word since Leomon showed up. But all their years together gave Falcomon a near-perfect idea of what his partner was thinking.

"If Leomon's here then that might mean..."

"Don't." said Raven, quickly a coldly, "Just... don't. She's gone, and I'd rather not open that can of worms again." he wasn't trying to keep up the persona in that moment. He was Kaitou, rather than Raven, "Come on. Some of them aren't exactly our biggest fans right now. It's best if we make tracks and keep our distance." without any other words he... left. Or at least he moved to leave. He had no more intention of sticking around, especially if Leomon was there. That conversation... he just wasn't ready for it yet.
Takatora didn't really get out a response before he was taken out of the room and respawned into the Lobby. By this point, a friend request popped into his inbox. Takatora's first instinct was to simply delete it and move on. It was just one of the players he was randomly teamed with, so surely it didn't actually mean anything. But before he could confirm the deletion, a voice from somewhere in the lobby caught his attention and left the request alone for the time being. Takatora looked around, feeling certain that the voice belonged to someone he knew. Sure enough, he spotted the unmistakable avatar of Adam Roman, one of his brother's old friends and a former member of the Build Warriors.

"Aren't you kind of far away from the European Server, Adam?" asked Takatora as he approached the masked avatar. He remembered that Adam was fan of both Char Aznable and Zechs Marquis, and his avatar reflected that. He wore what looked like Trieze's uniform, only it was given Char's colors. Like some mixture of OZ and Zeon, and the mask accessory he wore was distinctly the mask of Zechs. Zechs's mask was easier to wear with longer hair, and while Adam's brown hair was not as long as Zechs, it was just above shoulder length and tied neatly into a ponytail. Takatora's question was quite valid, as Adam was from Romania and thus usually inhabited the European server. There was also the time difference between Japan and Europe as well, and surely it had to be quite late at night for Adam.

"Caught a glimpse of your previous match." Adam responded, dodging the question completely, "The highlights, anyway. Good form, but you could still use some work."

The racoon ninja raised an eyebrow, "Tell me you didn't come all the way here just to tell me that...?"

Adam stifled a laugh, "Don't be ridiculous." he said, and then pointed to one of the larger screens streaming battles, "That's the reason I came here."

Takatora looked up and saw the announcement for a One vs Force Special-Event. And then he saw the names of the entries. The "One" was King, no surprise there. But the the Force? It wasn't even a Force, but the previous group Takatora had been randomly assigned to earlier, "Whoa! You mean if I stayed in there I'd have to..."

"Fight King." Adam finished, his expression stern but not too much so, "King's reputation is known even in the European Server. I've seen the highlights of his matches, but I wanted to see a live match. Call it... curiosity." it sounded like Adam was interested in seeing just how serious King was for himself. In fact it sounded like he wanted to challenge him.

"You really think you can take him?" asked Takatora, not out of sarcasm, but genuine curiosity. Adam was no pushover, none of the former Build Warriors were. They were each champion level builders and pilots, even during the days of GP Duel before GBN was even created. So a duel between Adam and King would probably be very interesting to watch.

"You and I both know there's no easy answer to that question. I'll have to challenge him some day and then maybe we'll get an answer to that question. For now, let's just watch the King in action, hm?"
@Renny@vancexentan@AngelofOctober@Archangel89

Just a heads up. I'm gonna post something sometime tonight to try and kickstart the plot. There'll be a bit of downtime for proper character establishment at the start of the first world, so use that and maybe flashbacks to establish relations between characters.
@Archangel89 You can post in the IC if you like. All the Chasers were taken to where the pieces are stored and each were instructed to take a Wayfinder. You can post about that if you want to establish your character before I move us forward a bit.
@Archangel89 Okay, move him on over to the char tab.
@Archangel89 Is it? I wasn't actually sure. If it is, then yes, it should be changed. You could probably have Sliding Dash if it's a slide attack you want. Fire Dash and F Firaga can come later.
