Dawning Light
Fayt and Knuckles head west, following the path towards the Mountains and the invading army, which, unbeknown to them, is currently mobilizing, and dark shapes are creeping in around the edges as the Heartless arrive.
While Ike, Mulan, Xianghua, and Ventus return to the city, to discuss strategy and prepare for the coming invasion.

Fayt and Knuckles

Fayt stops a ways away from the army and takes out his trusty Scanner. He then scans in the general direction of the army. As he gathers the data he looks up, and his eyes widen as he says, "Knuckles, you stupid hot head." What he say was that Knuckles was a. trying to pull of a Mulan and punch a mountain to make an avalance or b. was gliding right into the ranks of the army to knock some skulls.

Dawning Light

He head into the palace to speak with the emperor and Zhuge about strategy.

Zelda
She follows Nameless, letting him take charge for the moment. She wants to know as well, all of a sudden, though she can't say why.

Cloud Strife
"The others are well?" He meant to say Tifa, and it showed, but Cloud has never been good at dealing with his feelings for her. The closest he came to admitting how he felt occurred when they both had all memories of each other wiped and were dragged into a sick game between order and chaos and forced to fight for the anthropomorphic personifications.

Mew-Two
He doesn't reply. He has what he came for, he simply vanishes, teleporting back to his laboratory. It was time to refine this serum, in order to take advantage of pokemon's natural evolutionary adaptability to take them lengths never before imagined.

Scrooge McDuck
He was not watching the fight. He liked a good rumble as much as the next duck, but every second he focussed on the match and not running his many interests, he lost seven point two squidillion dollars, and he wasn't even sure that was a real number.

Scrooge had a breakthrough, when it came to these games. Not many people could afford tickets. So he made the matches free, and thousands of people showed up. Wanting a drink in the hot sun. And a meal. And memorabilia. And souvenirs. And autographs, or photos with their heroes. And to take a little flutter on who would win.

By the time he was done with them, they'd spent more then all the tickets put together would make him. And it was great PR. For his generosity, he was now as much a hero as any of these warriors.

He tips his battered old silk hat to Philoctretes, the satyr who helped him organize this, then turns and walks out, leaning slightly on his cane. Th satyr was good. So good, Scrooge was giving him point five percent of the profits to cover his expenses. "Be back in a bit. I have a little project to take care of."

Fayt
Ten thousand men. Barely a hundred heartless so far, but numbers steadily on the rise. No machines. No monsters. Nothing but...
The senseor bleeps a warning. Something is approaching behind you. Something bad.
The thing is ten feet tall, a large, muscular, bald, dark-skinned humanoid with solid white eyes. A black mask wraps around and covers the lower portion of his head, while a black open gorget covers the nape of his neck and spiked spaulders cover his shoulders. Black spiked braces and boots cover his hands to the elbows and feet to the knees respectively and a large black belt surrounds his abdomen supporting a fauld and cloth loincloth. Two black straps of leather crisscross the vertical center of his chest from the gorget to the belt, in between which lies his exposed, protruding heart. Around this his body featured several cracks over his build with red veins glowing from within. Large stone spikes jutted from each shoulder.
It completes the appearence with a massive, crude axe, bigger then you stand.
Not good. Not good at all.
"Stop moving around! It's irritating!" He roars, bringing the axe in a terrible arc aimed at you.

Knuckles
They've moved too far from the mountains for the first idea to be very practical. So you take them head on. At the head of the army is Pang De, a noble, principled man who's service to Lu Bu is as much a mystery to he himself as it is to those who wonder. A stoic veteran who bravely stays true to his principles despite the situation, he is dressed in blue trimmed iron armor, and holds a pair of sturdy war halberds. He is the only man mounted, the other hundred carried spears and wore cotton armor with ceramic scales and helmets.

Mewtwo
You need someone to refine it, alter it to incorporate the unique physiology and tertiaty characteristics of your charges. You'll have to find a genius, with experience at cloning and moulding DNA and the laws of nature DNA like silly putty.

Zelda
You come to the gates. Closed and barred, they are the only way in, short of scaling the thirty foot high, hand-holdless, smooth walls stone with no equipment. You can command the winds, but that doesn't seem likely. Not at all.
So you have to find some way to get through the gates.

Knights of the Kingdom
The swamp air feels heavy and thick. The water is still and stagnant, and so murky you can barely see more than the surface. Scum and mildew flats upon the surface amongst the weed and mud. The air is thick with the buzzing and chirping of insects, and mist swirls along the surface.
You can see yellow eyes ahead. Shadows. Dozens of them had found their way here. And you need to find the prince before they do, who Doctor Facilier did something to, and find the Keyhole before he does. If he can get his friends through, that's another world lost.

Scrooge
Phil waves you away, muttering about the fight under his breath. "Come on boy. Rule thirty four, duck! Quick, you're on the defensive now, if you don't recover he'll end you!"

Knights of the Kingdom

The first to react to the shadows is, as usual, HK47;
Exicted Query:Master, shall I initiate assassination protocols upon the gathered heartless?
It had been far too long since the droid had last killed.

Madam Odie laughs, a slow laugh that somehow manages to avoid echoing more than a few feet,
That won't solve a thing. Kill 'em and Facilier knows where we are, same as if they see us.

Justification:But there would be fewer of them in the immediate area for us to contend with when they do discover our location.

Subtlety's the name of the game, Rob.

Annoyed Reminder:My name is not Rob.

Mickey sighs, quietly, why hadn't he just brought Sora, Donald, and Goofy? Or Cloud, Squall and Yuffie? He'd figured the droid might be useful, and it had latched onto him. As for Odie, this WAS her world, and she was the expert on magic in the area....but they were a pain to put up with, even for him.

Mickey speaks, slowly, trying to avoid another arguement over HK's name. Look, we need to find out where the Prince is, but we can't just attack Heartless until we get an answer. The most expidient path to the Prince is finding Facilier, but we can't do that at the moment. However, attacking the Heartless will either draw him out or send him underground. Odie, you know him, what do you think?

Facilier's made too many deals to back out at this point. If he thinks we're only a threat to his minions and personal safety, he'll hide. But if it seems like we're a threat to his plans, he'll conjure up a mess of things to deal with us, and that'll make tracking him down a lot easier.

Maybe we should split up? Maybe if one or two of us stay to fight the shadows, the man won't realize we're coming, and we could catch him? The young girl speaks up for the first(and likely for the next few hours, last) time. Her voice is slow, but as if she's picking out words as she says them, rather than as an intended tone.

Mickey nods, HK47? Engage them.

Excited affirmation:My behavioral core beams with joy, Master. A quick sonic grenade is hurled at the assembled shadows followed by rapid laser blasts from the two pistols.

HK47
The Heartless are in some ways very primitive. If they cannot sense magic or life, they tend to ignore it. Because of this, they tend to have problems with industrialized worlds. They don't notice the grenade that rolls towards them. They don't even glance at it.
The reaction starts with a massive blast of light, enough to blind normal eyes, then follows with a strange sound as the area implodes into a massive dome of crackling purple energy. Conventional weaponry tends to not have quite the required effect on them unless there is a lot of it. Hence the over-powered nature of your grenades.
The remaining dozen or so Heartless notice the disappearance of their kin. Mickey, thanks to his keyblade, reads as a creature of darkness despite the fact that there are few souls more noble. They can't sense the machine at all, but they have no troubles at all with the other two. With eerie quiet, they advance towards the group, half invisible in the low light.

[Scene]
"A frog?" The tone is incredulous and frustrated, as though to say 'see what I have to work with?' It was a laid back, drawling voice, normally at least, the sort of voice that seemed to never do anything but relax. "What the hell? He was at your mercy! All you had to do was shoot him, and no more problem. But no! No, you had to turn him into a frog."
Doctor Fallicer was as slender as Jack Skelington, mustachioed, with a gap in his front teeth, and a face that seemed cunning and weasel-like, gaunt and cadaverous with deep-set, vivid purple eyes. He wore a black jacket, purple shirt that was cut short and shows his belly-button, a silk black top hat with a stylized skull and the crossbones and the purple thin feather on top, and leaned on a cane. The overall effect was rather ruined by the fact he was trembling and looking at the floor, afraid to meet the yellow eye of Xigbar. "It seemed like a good idea at the -"
"How? How could that possibly seem like a good idea?"
Fallicer didin't reply. Which was just as well, if he had, he likely would have been a corpse. Xigbar had a very low tolerance for bullshit. "Now look here, skippy. It seems you got confused. Let me clarify, just this once. You listening? Good. Zexion wants this world. You said you can deliver. You had better, because you made a deal, and when we get ripped off..." Most people say you should stop here, let their imagination do the work for them. Xigbar didn't roll that way. "Cue: Dueling banjos from 'Deliverance'."
"...What?" Not a reference he was in a position to understand.
Xigbar sighed. He liked the ominous implications. He really should keep to worlds where the locals had some half decent popular culture. "It means, when we say take the Prince out of the picture, you kill him and bury him deep, not turn him into a frog. It means that, come tomorrow, you will have found the keyhole and the prince, by this time, or you had best invest in some very good life insurance and a big gun. It means you're one screw up away from being stepped on like a cockroach." He pats him on the cheek with a gloved hand. "See? He can be taught. Find 'em. Now. Or I call in a professional, and use you as a prop to illustrate the consequences of failure to make sure he listens at the orientation." With that he walks past, out of the tiny house on stilts, down the stairway decorated with skulls on posts and shrunken heads, and into the swamp. The mist swallowed him up.

Knights of the Kingdom
You make your way through the creepers, bogs and water, brushing under stunted, moss covered trees, and brushing away insects. And the undergrowth only gets thicker and harder to deal with as you move on.
You've taken almost all of this you can stand when the swamp abruptly stops, and you find yourself at the edge of a wide, fast flowing river, where a old fashioned steam paddle-boat is making it's way up against the current, trailing smoke behind it. It's painted white, and has three floors at least.

Fayt

Fayt jumps back from the terrible strike and pull out his trusty longsword, "Jeesh, some one woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Fayt didn't usually taunt his opponent unless he was dead terrified or he thought it would help him win. In this situation it was a little of both. He was very afraid of the man, however he seemed like he was quick to anger. He was probably a berzerker type fighter, in which case making him mad could help him just as well as it could damn him. He was going out on a limb with this one. He slides his hand across the flatside of his blade wispering, "Lightning Blade" and it is covered in arcs of electricity crackling dangerously. He then rushes forward with impressive speed in a straight line at the large man. At the last second he uses his considerable leg strength to quickly shift to the right and attack from the side with a horizontal slash.

Knuckles

He flies over the army as he says, "Alright, lets get to it," he then points himself downward, shovel claws gleaming in the sun, as he shoots down at the ground in a spinning motion like a drill into the mass of soldiers. When he reaches the ground and slams into one, likely ripping him apart, he continues spinning and very quickly burrows into the ground. He then comes out again at another soldier a ways away from his original position and lashes out with a punch. He then again tries to burrow underground again, likely taking a few hits in the process. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Dawning Light

Ventus looks at the emperor upon his throne as he speaks with Zhuge and says, "Your Excellency, Lu Bu's army is headed this way. I have defeated Lu Bu himself though his army still craves for blood. We need a force in order to counter then and a sound strategy."

Knuckles
The echidna hits the perfect ranks of the soldiers like a Juggernaut, ramming into them and sending them flying like nine-pins, scattering them. A few jab him with their spears, but due to the speed in which he moves they are unable to score more then glancing hits, and so are unable to do more then slow him down.
And then he runs into a wall. Pang De is forced a step back, but doesn't lose his footing, and scythes his two war halberds at you, biting into your side. "Really? My orders say otherwise. Surrender." He's not like Lu Bu. While Lu Bu was a forest fire, Pang De was a glacier, slow and implacable.

Fayt
Being cheeky has the desired effect, the massive golem lets out an inarticulate howl of rage, and begins swinging at you. The lightning doesn't even seem to phase it, the fact it's not human probably helps, not to mention it's stone, but just the same you'd expect some effect. It's blows are slow, but powerful, and if one hits you you will be in trouble. Timing is the key, as long as you can keep him from laying a blow on you and not dodging too early you should survive.

Fayt

This was not his day. His opponent was not only strong but wasn't even human. He was made out of some kind of stone. Why couldn't Cliff be here? The Klausian fighter would have probably toppled the giant with one punch. Oh well, no use crying over spilt milk. He needed a plan and fast. He thinks for a moment while backing away from the slow blows of the juggernaut. After going through a list of his techniques in his head he comes up with something that might work. First he jumps back quite a way and symbols appear around his arm as he cries out "Stone Rain". With that a large portal opens up and large rocks fall out like rain over his opponent, most likey damaging him very little but trapping his for a least a few seconds enough for Fayt to charge up his next attack. He stops running as he shouts out "Etheral Blast". 3 pairs of angel wings of symboligical energy pop out of his back and flap letting him fly into the sky. Then a ball of energy the size of his entire upper torso appears in front of him. He then thrusts both arms forward and the ball of energy becomes a beam of the same size made of a combination of Symbological and Destrustion energy. He is not sure if it will defeat his opponent, but it will at least weaken him.

Knuckles

Seeing the situation he is in Knuckles says one thing that he heard Sonic say a lot when he was in trouble in his younger days, "Bummer Majores." He then gets an idea and to the armies surprise curls up into a ball. He then thinks to himself, 'Sonic isn't the only one with a spindash,' he then starts spinning from his stationary position despite the fact that it should not be possible. He hopes thier shock lasts long enough as he builds up rotation. He then lets it rip as he spins up into Pang De's chest. He could tell the man was strong and that was what he was counting on. As he strikes Pang De's chest he bounces with the force to be pushed upward into the sky away from the man.

Fayt
The smoke clears after you're devastating barrage, to reveal him, swaying slightly, but his feet still planted firmly on the ground. Despite this, your magic clearly had the desired effect. The cracks have multiplied, gleaming red lines criss-crossing his enormous frame. His every movement cracks and groans and stone crunches together, and causes a trickle of dust.
You've gotten off to a good start. With a roar, he brings his axe over his head, again leaving himself very open, and smashes it down with all the power his upper body can muster, sending a massive shockwave that knocks you from your feet.
Striding over, he brings a barrel sized leg up, then aims a stomp at your head while you are still dazed. It's a mistake to think you can overwhelm this foe with one single, decisive strike. You're going to have to wear him down the old fashioned way.

Knuckles
Pang De is every bit the immovable wall you hoped, and hitting him released your momentum, sending you rocketing into the sky, your spines having cut his face to ribbons as you did so. He managed to get you in the lower back with the pick end of his war halberd, and your bleeding somewhat heavily, but it's nothing life threatening at the moment.
Now at the apex of your ascent, gravity is exerting itself upon you, irresistibly. Slowly at first, but rapidly speeding up, you begin to fall.

Knuckles and Fayt

Knuckles sees Fayt's situation from his high up position and gets an idea. Now most people assume Knuckles is dumb from how often he is tricked by Robotnik. He is actually quite smart, Robotnik just used his passion and temper against him. He glides over to Fayt's location and he says, "Hey Fayt, tag!" Knuckles then glides into Astaroth with a vicsious punch that likely hits him by surprise seeing how focused he was on Fayt. Fayt then gets the Idea and immeadiatly jumps to his feet after Knuckles engages the giant and runs over to the cliffside. He then starts raining down symbological spells such as "Stone Rain","Deep Freeze"(which brings up subzero winds and ice crystals to imprison parts of the army), and "EXPLOSION"(which brings down a large ball of fire that at first just burns but then expands to gargantuan size and starts rapidly exploding).

Knights of the Kingdom
Mickey raises an eye, for a brief moment caught up in memories of a simplier time. A time without heartless and kingdoms, where he'd worked on a steamboat. Those had been such lovelier times....he shakes his head, moves his hand to indicate that the other three need to stay here while he checks it out.

He dives into the water, speeding to the boat, trying to get a better look at it.

Knights of the Kingdom
The boat has gone past, and you've missed your chance to get aboard. Mickey is now out of your reach.
Meaning the two of you shall need to hunt down Doctor Fallicer alone.

Mickey
You crawl aboard the boat, wet and bedraggled, ears drooping, your clothing sticking to you. There is a crowd, and judging by their behavior and dress they are engaged in a high class party. A band plays a slow waltz, and for a moment you can imagine that you are in Disney castle, and have never heard of the Heartless.
You imagine this would be the place for a prince. Now you had best get bellow decks and look around, you can see no sign of him here.

Knuckles
Astaroth roars, but your fist damages his chest, and more of those fiery red cracks appear. He's starting to look like a badly baked clay figure. Smashing through the stone, you touch the fiery core.
It feels like plunging your hand into liquid nitrogen, and you feel the cold of the otherside seeping into your hand, a cold of lifelessness and despair. You try to snatch your hand back from the Golem's fiery essence (and yet it's so cold...), only to find it was stuck fast. The cold slivered through the meat of his hands, entering the veins and traveling up the arm, and somehow you know that when it reaches your heart you'll be no better then the Golem.
Astaroth loomed above you like a war machine, a monster of nightmare come to haunt the living, and hefts his massive axe. He seems as surprised at the effect as you, but doesn't slow. "Well. Lets see you hop around now."

Fayt
Pang De crosses his halberds to protect his face, the blows smashing into him like a hammer smashing against an anvil. Then his form is lost in the cataclysmic energies all swirling around him, scattering his men like nine pins and tearing the world apart.
The tumult drags on and on. Hail the size of cars comes smashing down, fire so bright and hot the stones run, and iron and lightning and other terrible things crash as the energies feed and compete with each other, burning brighter and brighter, until at last they stop.
The smoke clears. Pang De hasn't lost a step, still holding his place at the bottom of an immense crater, his every muscle shaking, his head hung. At first, you almost turn and run, you're supplies of mana are dangerously low, then you realize he's all but done, the spells have taken all he has to give. He only stands out of habit, his muscles locked in place by iron determination, but he's in no shape to fight.
His men are dead, and he's not a problem any more.

Garland
Siegfried is knocked out of the tournament.

The next fight is two newcomers, and shall begin in a second.
Kratos steps onto the field, and wits, scowling.

Zelda
She decides the best way in is the official channel. Taking her gown, her crown, and spending the gold she bought on a fine white horse, she once more is the image of Princess Zelda. Here in Aggrabah for a meeting with her fellow majesty, the sultan.
"You can serve as my manservant." She says to Nameless, affecting an appearance of hauteur.

Mew-Two
Eyes glow. Find me a ship. He says. We will need it. It is time, fellow brothers, to cross the final frontier. His face remaining expressionless, he spreads his arms. "It is time to make our way into space."

Scrooge McDuck
He has a slight spring in his step as he makes his way out of the colosseum and to his personal Gummi ship. Donald had sent him a message. At long last, they had found the king.
Scrooge steps into his bedroom, where he stores the possessions he cannot bear to part with. He stops in the center of the room, then holds still a moment. then he begins preparing.
Off goes the elegant dinner waistcoat, with red silk and golden buttons. Off the hand-stitched cuffs, and the smoking jacket, made by Milan's finest tailor twenty years ago, and still in good repair, although a few threads were loose. They don't make clothes like that anymore.
The priz-nez spectacles are removed, and placed within their box, placed neatly atop the folded clothing. The undershirt is unbuttoned, and placed with the rest.
He stands now, completely undressed bar his underwear, and stretches, then turns to a box, dusty and long undisturbed. A box he thought he was past. But he is Scrooge, last of the clan MacDuck, knight of the realm and Lord Protector of the King's Peace. Not for him the slow and gradual slip into dotage, sustained on the laughter of grandchildren and fond memories of past adventure, as he lost his cares and let life slip away. The world had one last ball to throw at him, and when it arrived it would find him standing, ready to take what came.
He begins by placing the old, battered breastplate, adjusting the straps and buckles until it no longer rattled. His chest has become somewhat wasted with time, he does not fill it as he once did, but his hands remembered their old skills, and the weight felt fine. He ties the gorget, then attaches the pauldrons. Given his rank, it should be gilded and enameled, but this armor had served him fine, and he would not replace it when any alternative presented itself.
Next were the greaves, gauntlets, leg guards and sabutons, spurs and all the rest. When he was done, he looked the part, although no power on this earth would part him from his battered silk top hat. Any power none the less inclined to try, however, would find himself matched up against the last son of Clan MacDuck... when he was mad.
He salutes himself in the mirror, and feels thirty years younger, The King of the Klondike again. Then he puts down his cane, and picks up a basket-hilt scottish claymore, and but it felt good in hands.
"Just a bit, me king.Just a bit more." He mutters loyally. "I'm coming."

Garland
He ignores Kratos. The man is not his fight. Instead he helps the blond knight to his feet, and then steps off the stage. He may be a champion of chaos, but manners cost him nothing, and warfare alone was wearying.
"I do hope I didn't hurt you. I just wanted to know what you were getting up against, you understand."

Kain
"Tell me of yourself. Your world, your ways and knowledge. Tell me of the lives you have lived, the places you have seen, your triumphs and low points. As long as you keep my interest you shall buy your life." He then turns to stare at the other Hunter. "And same to you, of course."

Marluxia
"Really. I think you'll find me more to worry about then you expect." He replies, with a slight sneer, pointing the scythe at him. "But why fight? What would it achieve? So stay down and this won't have to get violent."

Nameless
"No." He says, looking up at the walls again. "No, you are my distraction. Draw their attention, I'll make my own way in." With that he turned, and,somehow, seemed to fade, not turning invisible so much as sinking into the background, the eye passing over him, sliding around him, but never able to focus on him for more then a moment.

He's not sure where he learned to do this, or even how he does it, but it feels natural. Right. He's sure he's done it before, though the details still escape him. He looks up at the wall, but waits for Zelda. As soon as she makes her entrance, so shall he.

"If you insist." She replies, then straightening, she affects a swagger, making her way to the gates.

Zelda
Rasoul and ten of the guards meet you. None of them have heard of you, and he's suspicious. He's tremendous, with a barrel chest, hands the size of prize hams, and a gap-toothed face of a brawler, scarred and battered that had taken everything the world had thrown at him.
"And you are?" He has a voice like a box full of nails.

Nameless
For the moment nobody notices you. You reckon you can probably can scale them, with equipment.

Scrooge
Huey and Louie whistle at your appearance, sounding impressed. Of course, they've never seen you like this before. "Wow, you look real fierce unca' Scrooge!"
"Can I see your sword?"
"Let me see!"
They came to help you with the tournament, and rather then abandon them here, which would be low and irresponsible, or take the time to drop them off, you are going to have to take them with you. The two of them are dressed in their caps and turtlenecks, almost identical save the different colors, even to your experienced eye.
Dewey arrives a moment later, tailed by the tall blond knight who just lost to Garland. His massive sword is sheathed on his back, and you get a feeling of tired nobility, but there is a haunted quality to him you find quite strange to see on one so young.
"I said I'd give him help." Your grand nephew exclaims proudly, his chest puffing up.
"My name is Siegfried Schtauffen." He says, his voice quiet and careful, the voice of a man who always does his best to keep himself under control. "May I travel with you a while? I could not do what I set out for. I must look for answers elsewhere. I would be most grateful if you could help me."

Garland
You return to the stands.

Colosseum
Kratos beats Gabrath in short order. Stopping a step short of actually killing him, he drags the fight on, humiliating the dark knight and causing as much pain as he can to him, before he finally concedes the match.

Next up is Zhou Yu and Terra against two greeks, Odysseus and Achilles.

Kain
He starts, then smiles, a touch less desperate. "Why, I'd be happy to tell you everything, old boy. I'm Clayton, a hunter, as I mentioned before. I'm from England, although I'm not really made for the city. I've always preferred the wilds, my own company. And yet I need

"If you don't know who I am, you're not worth the effort of introducing myself to." Gaston says, defiant again. "You want to kill me, then try."

Marluxia
"This is assisted suicide." Doviculus replies, getting to his hooves, and taking his weapon. Then Maleficiant stands, the room getting darker, shadows extending, the air growing heavier.
"You are both guests. Behave." She says, slamming the butt of her staff on the ground with a crack.
Doviculus pauses, then replaces his weapon "OF course. Forgive me."

Fayt

He was scared out of his mind when he saw Pand De still standing. Then his sharp eyes take in his state. It was then that a few chuckles escape his mouth as his legs give out on him. Today has been one hell of a day.

Knuckles

Panic, that as what Knuckles was feeling right now. How is it that one simple move could have screwed him over so thououghly. He had to do something and fast before that hammer came down, or worse he turn into this thing. So he lashes out with a punch at Astaroths chest. If he couldn't pull his fist out mabye he could punch it out by having Astaroth fly back from the force of his punch.

Mew-two
Your pokemon assemble, successful clones superior to the original examples of the their respective species. A ghastly bobs, trailing mist. A Charmander stands upright beside a squirtle, and a bulbasaur. An Abra snoozes quietly in the corner, it's mind touhing yours for reassurance. No mental match for yours, but the presence of another psychic comforts you. The others are in the background, waiting your instructions, with the exception of Machop, who is pacing, an nervous habit he learned from a human.
The man you need is a mad scientist you found in the files. His name is Dr. Jumba Jookiba, and you know where to find him.

King Mickey
Eli 'Big Daddy' La Bouff owns this steam wheel, and is holding a party for his daughter Charlotte. He's the sort of man you've always liked, a blue collar man who, through hard work, perseverance and shrewdness has made his fortune (a sugar baron), but the money has never really changed him. He's big, and despite a growing paunch thickness he is still large. He has a fussy mustache and haircut that does not go well with his big, bluff and honest face, and wears a pristine white suit.
His daughter is on his arm, a beautiful and flamboyant southern belle, with blond hair, blue eyes and the smile of one who is beautiful, has blond hair, blue eyes, lots of money and knows it. Just the same, she seems genuinely warm and friendly, and you find yourself liking them even at first glance.
As you turn to look away, you see a green bullfrog staring at you. It gives a single solemn ribbit, then leaps over the side into the water.
You have the suspicion that the key to understanding whatever it is they want with this world is here, aboard this boat. But what?

HK-47
Bits of the swamp are on fire, and everything alive has run the hell away, with the exception of the heartless, most of whom have been taken out by shots from your blaster and the various other bits of weaponry that you carry around with you.
A small firefly is following you, perching on your metal chasis whenever you stop moving, even if only for a few seconds.
"I am Ray." It says, in a Cajun accented voice.

Knights of the Kingdom
"Well, lookit that." A deep, soulful voice, that should have gone to some Blues musician. "An little old biddy, and a little girl." Fallicer steps from behind a tree, tipping his top hat.
"You're in my world now, not your world." His shadow is facing the wrong way, pointed at the two of you. The silhouette is off. It looks almost like him, but not quite. A stylized image of him. He taps his cane on the ground, then spins it to point the tip at you.
"So what's say we have a bit of chat. Put your mind at ease, relax, and lets see if we can't find some equivalent exchange."

Fayt
The rest of his army is hours away. For now, you've done all that you needed to do. The city will be safe.

Knuckles
You manage to get your fist free, though you have no feeling in it. The golem begins to right itself, but it's crumbling, cracks now running all over it, and more forming every time it moves. He doesn't seem to care, or even notice. He swings his axe one handed, doubling his reach, the edge flowing towards you.

Dawning Light
Mulan has done as you wanted and the soldiers have cohesively reformed, and are now advancing on Lu Bu's, to crush them against the walls of the forbidden City. Without their leader, they will be disorganized, and morale will be low. It shouldn't take much to break them.

Kain
"Indeed?" He says, his voice dangerously calm and soft. "That is a challenge I will not refuse." A two fingered claw that looks more like the talon of a bat then a human hand is drawn back, then drove it forward. Such was the force, of the blow that it penetrated flesh and muscle, digging deep into his abdomen. Kain felt slimy wet things around his hand. With the expertise that only centuries could bring, he reached out and closed his fingers. Something squished, then there was a curious gurgling sound as it ripped free.

The man only started to scream when Kain held the slab of meat before his eyes. It took him a moment to realize it was his own liver. The vampire only laughed, then, placed his bloody hand on the side of his neck, pushed his head down, and drank deeply, dragging the life blood out of him until he was empty. Senses he used to manipulate the latent magical energies of the world noted the soul trying to escape. He caged it, and forced it back into the body, leaving the hunter's spirit trapped, cut away from the hereafter, whatever happened to souls when they died. Taking a claw, he slashes his own wrist, and bids Gaston drink. And, without any thought or control, he did, until Kain tore his wrist away. He'd had enough, to give him any more would only weaken Kain unnecessarily.

The body reanimated, never really becoming a corpse, and Gaston convulsed as his body changed, growing additional rips, his fingers fusing, his muscles squirming under his skin like headless serpents as they altered shape and composition. It was the only way Kain could spread his species, a method apparently based on his own resurrection at the hands of Mortanius, so many years ago.

"Immortality is a gift few keep long. See that you do not cross me again." He says, then turns to stare at Clayton. "And you?"

Marluxia
He paused, then inclined his head. "Forgive me." He does not apologize to Doviculus. His mind was racing, though you'd never guess that looking at him. He could use this. An alliance between the two parties was playing into his hands, if only they give him an opening to strike.

"May I ask how it benefits you to ally with them?" He asks her. He doesn't expect a straight answer, but he's sure she'll give him a little to work with. "For surely you do not expect Zexion to share power. He was always greedy, and determined to make the world give him what he felt was his dues." Which was the pot calling the kettle black, but he was not introspective enough to appreciate the irony.

Zhou Yu, Terra
The strategist takes his staff and walks onto the field, seeming perfectly at ease, calm and relaxed. His mind, however, is working far more quickly, examining and anticipating, judging and assessing the two fighters, and preparing his own battle.

Terra, on the other hand, was silent and still, his mind honed to a razor's edge, a single line that began with the fight and ended when the fight was over.

The two of them stand side by side, both with the same hard eyes, looking at their two foes.

Nameless
He would be better off doing it without a rope. Taking his hands, he wedged them into a crack, all the way to the knuckles, that putting his weight on it, reached up and pulled himself up a few feet, then repeating the process. His muscular arms burned with the effort, but he gritted his teeth and kept climbing, eyes narrowed into a look of steely determination.

Nameless
Rasoul, captain of the guards, spots you as you get to the edge of the wall. Baring his gap-toothed smile, he draws his massive falchion, an points it at your throat. He's big, built like a wall, and there is a certain competency to him that bellies that of the obvious lack of real experience in the other guards in the city

Zhou Yu, Terra
Odysseus scratches his beard, staring at you both, his gaze bright and intelligent. He's dressed in a breastplate and sandals, and has a wide, leaf bladed sword on his hip. Achilles is dressed in armor, his face hidden behind his intricate helmet, a big bronze shield and a massive sword.
"Stand aside. They're both mine." He says to the strategist, hefting the shield and blade.
The strategist strings his bow in a single, competent movement, then takes an arrow, threading it slowly. "Very well." He says, frustrated by his companion.

Kain
He stammers, then his gaze hardens. "Do what you will."

Marluxia
"That would be my business. Not yours." She replies, cutting you off. She then turns to Doviculus. "Very well. We would be happy to help you with your little problem. But I will hold you to your end of the bargain."

Scrooge
"Oh no, you don't! Not unless you've got eighteen quadrillion bucks! And FIFTY CENTS!" He shouts, glaring at the knight. Scrooge was no pushover, and while he has a certain nobility, he doesn't have a charitable bone in his entire body. Turning his back, he began to walk away, grumbling under his breath.
"That's the trouble with you young scallawags of today... You expect someone to roll you out a matt and let you start in at the top instead of working up from the bottom, like I did! Get your own ship."

Zelda
Spurring her horse, she rides through the gates. In deference to the fact she was a lady wearing an intricate gown, she rode side saddle. But otherwise her attitude was more that of a conquering warlord then a visiting dignitary. She even had a sword buckled on her waist.
“I am here to speak with the sultan.” She says, in a voice as strident and clear as a challenge blown from a trumpet. “Where is he?”

Mew-Two
He attempts to mentally find a spaceship by spreading his mind out.

Kain
"A lesson. The world is defined by a small group who do what they will. The rest of the people follow their lead." With that he pounces on Clayton as well, fangs bared, and traps his soul in the corpse, creating another vampire as he does.

When the haze lifts from his eyes, he has two childe’s hanging from the wall in chains, and a saited feeling, at least in one hunger. But the light of ambition burns brighter. He has a want, a need, to conquer, to wield his sword again.

With a wave of his hand, he steps into the corridors of darkness. He has memories he stole from the pair he glutted himself on, as well as a few emotions that will fade soon. Before they do, he will act on them.

He steps at the doorway that leads to Beasts castle.

Marluxia
He stands still, his staff vanishing with a gesture, changing to red blossoms. Folding his arms he leans against the wall. Sooner or later, he would learn something.

Until then, he will listen and keep his own quiet council.

Zhou Yu, Terra
Zhou Yu's reply is succinct and to the point. He turns on the spot, a complete circle, then extends his palm. A fireball erupts from it, slamming into the warrior's chest. "Burn."

Terra follows up with a tension that suddenly erupts, making the ground beneath them shake. Taking his keyblade, he presses his back to the strategist and narrows his eyes, but for now doesn't attack, instead preparing the both of them for the coming fight. He raises his keyblade, which glows bright with the flare of magic. Aero forms a shield of stone hard air that circles them, protecting them both.

Pressing his back to the strategist’s, the two of them face their two enemies, ceding the initiative and they both wait, ready as a wound trap to retaliate.

Nameless
Like it's no trouble at all, he grabs the guard by the meaty forearm that reaches for him, and throws him off the edge of the wall, watching him fall with evident satisfaction. A lucky bounce and his turban acting as a cushion saves his life, but leaves him unconscious. Nameless gives a moment’s satisfaction at the outcome, then flexes, pulling himself atop the wall, and getting to his feet. His hands are cracked, bloodied, and he broke a finger, but he doesn’t even feel discomfort at the pain.

He turns to look at the palace, and licks his cracked lips. "A treasure fit for a Sultan? We'll see what I can find to oblige you."

Kain
You arrive in, appropriately enough, the castle's Entrance Hall. The castle's main doors are sealed and bolted from the inside, and even were you to try to break through the threshold would be a barrier enough as of its own, but a small door to the east leads down some dark stairs, that seems an entrance sufficient for now.

Scrooge
"Unca' Scrooge, you have to take him with you. He needs help!" Huey says, his big blue eyes wide and slightly moist. "Please?"
"Yeah. We're taking him, whether you like it or not." Louie chimes in.
"So either he comes, or we all stay right here."

Marluxia
"Very well. We will turn over Kari in due course. Until then, I suggest you gather up the others." Ganon says, his voice so deep it makes the table shake.
"We'll return when it is done. Be prepared." With that, he opens a portal, and the two of them leave.

Mew-Two
Come on. It's not going to be that easy.

Nameless
You're standing on the wall, facing the palace. Bellow you is a garden, a beautiful and serene place. Songbirds and birds of paradise sing beautiful notes in gilded cages, a fountain shoots water into the sky, trees and flowers from every corner of the earth bloom, and the air is cool and humid, unlike the dry, intense air outside.
A woman with a beautiful figure, dark skin, and dark brown eyes, her thick, black hair is tied into a low ponytail in a blue ribbon, accompanied by a headband with a sapphire in the center set in a gold frame, sits on a bench, one hand idly tracing shapes in the water. She is dressed in a blue bedlah outfit with long poofy bustle pants and a top which leaves her forearms and midriff bare. If she was not wearing so much gold you'd think her a dancer or concubine, although as she is you suspect she is royalty.

Zhou Yu, Terra
Impatient, Achilles lowers his shoulder behind his shield and charges you both, sword held over his head. Odysseus is more cautious, waiting for one of you to lower your guard to give him a shot.

Dawning Light

Roxas looks at the army as he nods and looks towards Mulan. "The troops are ready and waiting. We'll move on your command."

Knuckles

He starts to spin his still working arm in a circle. The arm picks up speed until it becomes a seemingly red cirlce of speed and energy (like sonics legs when he goes very fast). He then charges forward and uses his arms rotation like a buzzsaw on the gigantic golem.
