It was then that WIlliam cleared his throat and said, "Ms. Saccharine, I am really sorry, but I have to tell the truth. Basically, I asked Zane and the other members of his group to accompany me to the forest in order to gain some Faerie Metal in order to mix with my blood to forge a Duplicate of Excalibur, and due to my haste, I was unable to arrange for a legal field trip. It is completely and utterly my fault I got them into this mess, and yes, it is also my fault that Novices were pulled to this trip to a forbidden area. Please let all punishement rest on me, as I got them into trouble. Zane has a date and Viola - I think her name was VIola - has other things she needs to do, and it's not fair that they are in trouble because of something I asked them to do."

So is anyone else confused by the Green Sahara stuff? Feels kinda disjointed, like I'm reading excerpts from a completely different RP or something.

He tells me generally what his ideas for the progression of that side plot are and lets me make the challenges since I created the world, but I know about how much it links back as you. I assume Bee has some plan to link it back to the main story.

@Nerevarine

It's more like; Tenma Tendo is busier than the rest of the group but wants to play, so I'm giving her a private but still inter-linked plotline. And yes, there's a link back to the main story.

The bit about knowing about the masks would have sufficed. He could have confirmed that these enemies are in possession of them without knowing who actually stole them.

@Double

I'll edit it, then.

@Letter Bee Why did you spoil almost everything about Natalia? Most of that information was supposed to be discovered over time.

@Double

Ah; sorry! I didn't know how to keep Noel from walking out on the gathering, but I'm willing to listen to alternatives.

"Empress, let me continue," said Tocsax, his face turning towards the group.

~~~~~

((Take a moment to pause and rest to that you guys don't lose track of the details.))

"I used to be a part of a group created by Leo, the Circle, which in turn was the precursor to the Thirteen - actually Twelve - Seekers of Darkness. From there, I discovered many of his secrets before defecting to Emperor Michael. The tales of my exploits would keep you standing for far longer than comfortable, so I'll make this brief."

"As certain peope here can see, I am a Nobody, and my name denotes that I am the Nobody of Ascot, the maker of the Multiverse for good or for ill." He then looked at Drake and Georgia, before saying:

"And...as anyone who knows how Nobodies are born, that means that Ascot has a Heartless as well." Tocsax would pause, then continue, "That is relevant because there is a way to restore Ascot. Two ways, in fact. One is to kill his Heartless, then me, restoring the Original Person. The other is to use a sufficiently strong source of Light to restore Ascot's Heartless back into a human. We are to either look for those sources of light, or kill me, then Ascot's Heartless when he is found. This will deny Leo the ability to make his own X-blade, by restoring the legitimate holder of the weapon."

Empress Maria then turned to her husband, "Dear; it's time for you to say your piece; can you finally explain what the Princesses of Heart are?"

A nod from the Basileus, as he said, "There are seven women, not necessarily actual princesses, who have hearts of pure Light that cannot be corrupted by the Darkness. This is because these - non-literal - Princesses of Heart are actually the Light Half of the X-Blade, scattered across worlds and timelines. These seven women cannot be turned into Heartless, although they can create Nobodies, and more importantly, they can transform Heartless back into Humans with a touch. Your job is to go to these seven worlds, the seventh of which is a mystery, and find the Princesses of Heart, and then after those seven worlds, go to the Tomb of Ascot and turn Ascot back into a human."

"All potential help will be given you, including a Gummi Ship of your own, and a guard detail of elite Imperial Guard to aid you if your party encounters Non-Heartless enemies, which Leo and the Thirteen Seekers of Darkness can throw at us -"

"Dear," said Maria, "you haven't explained what exactly the Thirteen Seekers of Darkness are..."

"Oh, right," Michael XIII Sideros said. "Well, the Thirteen Seekers of Darkness, which I think Tocsax mentioned before, are Leo's organization. They're an attempt to artificially create the 'dark half' of the X-Blade and have them attack or fuse with the Seven Princesses of Heart to create the X-Blade anew. They're also all incarnations of Leo, either his past self from another timeline, himself from the present, his Nobody and his Heartless, and people from The Circle that he has possessed. And of course, they're Keyblade Wielders, too; the reason they have not won yet is because they are incomplete."

Maria interrupted once again, "And by that, they are actually twelve in number; they have not captured their ideal candidate for the thirteenth Seeker." She looked at Tocsax and the other Keyblade wielders as they discreetly stood in the throne room, then made a closing statement. "If they capture said ideal candidate for the thirteenth Seeker, all might be lost."

------

Tocsax then whispered to Felix Vulpes: "If you want a summary, here goes: Find Seven Princesses of Heart and use the Pure Light within them to restore Ascot, the maker of the Multiverse. This will defeat the Big Bad, Leo the Second Mathematician."

((Finished.))

((Part 2.))

An image then showed of Ascot raising the X-blade at a wave of large rockets/missiles flying towards the city where he lived, and all of those vanishing. Another wave of said X-Blade, and another spell was cast, making it physically impossible to use nuclear material for anything but power generation; people can still use nuclear energy to make electricity, but any attempt to use uranium, plutonium, or any similar material to make weapons atuomatically caused those materials to turn to lead. The group can see Ascot smiling in mingled happiness and exhaustion...before his X-blade glowed brightly, releasing an uncontrolled blast of light.

"Ascot lost control of his powers in saving his world, causing the Multiverse to split into its component parts. What was one, became more, what was absurd, became possible. The X-blade broke apart into several shards, because its legitimate owner had tried too much without training or experience. And Ascot, weary beyond all reason, vanished into a Tomb, even though he was still alive." A white-and-gold masoleum appeared then, flying above some skyscrapers. "But that did not mean the end of all conflict.

Scenes were then shown of people wielding lesser Keyblades that resembled the X-blade, and making war with each other. "The people of the worlds fashioned weapons of their own, Keyblades that manifested from their own Hearts, and warred with each other to dominate Kingdom Hearts. They mostly killed each other, but a few repentant survivors foreswore any attempt to conquer the Multiverse, forming the Old Keyblade Order.

"The Old Keyblade Order prospered, taking new recruits from people with strong hearts. One of those recruits was someone from this world, Leo the Second Mathemathician. Leo was a bright soul, but one who chafed under the strict restrictions of the Old Keyblade Order, as well as doubted their beliefs in cosmology; that Light was always good. To him, Light and Darkness were merely two sides of the same coin; neither can exist without the other.

"In fact, in his view, Light was tyrannizing over Darkness, and so the worlds had to be remade, so that Light and Darkness had to be in equal balance. So, he moved to do just that, summoning and binding the 'Pantheons' of the Greek, Egyptian, and Norse to his will, promising them revenge against those who worshipped only One God as a sweetener for their enslavement," the hologram shifted to a young man with tan skin, gold eyes, and silver hair much like Emperor Michael's, rallying an army of replesendent glowing figures that Hirutila would recognize from statues and descriptions he had seen or heard from his pirate days.

"And in a great battle," Empress Maria continued as the hologram shifted to a great battlefield, where an army of people who wielded Keyblades were fighting several 'Gods and Goddesses', a scene that ended with an old Keyblade Master stabbing Zeus himself through the heart before falling to the ground, dead as well, "He largely succeeded in destroying the Old Keyblade Order. There were survivors and retired members, but there was no more structure, no more organization. Leo was now free to accomplish the next set of his agenda.

"Under the guise of a student, Leo went to the world of Shining Field, a world where Genghis Khan was never born, and his son Hulegu never destroyed Baghdad, allowing the latter to remain a centre of knowledge and wisdom. There, he convinced Hakim the Wise, the Grand Vizier, to conduct experiments on Light and Darkness, experiments that caused the world to be consumed in the latter, and the Heartless to spread and become organized.

"And that is when worlds began falling and falling in quick succession." Maria then paused for breath.

"Empress, let me continue," said Tocsax, his face turning towards the group.

Empress Maria then said to both Georgia and Drake, "As Captain Felix - The Redhead - said, the Heartless are the black creatures that you people have mentioned, with beady yellow eyes. Despite their name, they are actualy disembodied Hearts - The metaphysical kind, not the bodily one, just in case there is any confusion. The silvery-skinned... Lifeforms are Nobodies, made up of the body and soul left behind when the metaphysical Heart is torn out. Some Nobodies are just that, silver creatures, while others," She looked at Tocsax, "Have a human form and the potential to grow a new Heart."

A final pause for effect, "And yes, three hundred thousand credits in gold, silver, and gemstones have already been prepared for your arrival; let it not be said that we are miserly."

Then as Noel made his outburst and turned to leave, Emperor Michael said, "We know about your family's collection of masks, by the way, and your need to retrieve them."

A smile on his face as he knew it'd stop Noel in his tracks.

Empress Maria then paused to say, "Now, back to the Original History."

At that, Damianos altered the mystic hologram he was projecting to show a single Earth, a blue-green globe spinning silently in the cosmos, while the Empress began to narrate, "In the Original Earth, in the years 2019 to 2020 Christian Era, there was once a boy named Ascot, who believed that the world was heading headlong into destruction."

The hologram then zoomed into the North American Continent, where a young man with black hair and eyes - Just like Tocsax - was reading a book on a desk already stacked with them.

Empress Maria then continued, "Ascot was a genius, smart and inquisitive beyond his years. But due to his belief that the people of the world were destroying themselves, he searched and searched for a way to prevent such a calamity. And he found it in old texts and new physics, ones that spoke of a mysterious force that we know today as The Light, or Lux. All Light flowed from a mysterious place called Kingdom Hearts, the Heart of existence."

The hologram shifted to a giant 'heart', one that looked like a sterotypical Valentines' Day Heart, only it glowed blue-and-white, while its left side was marked with darker spots that made it look like the Moon's surface. Maria continued, "Kingdom Hearts was protected by its counterpart, the X-blade; pronounced 'Key-blade'. And Ascot managed to summon said X-blade to himself, becoming its legitimate owner and giving him the power to save his world... Just as the nations of the world were launching weapons of imaginable power - Nuclear Weapons."

Damianos added, "Nuclear Weapons, to those who do not know, are instruments of war that can cause conflagrations which could destroy entire cities."
