Aqua and DustAqua had set off in search of Terra. She had to keep her eye on him and she needed to bring Ventus back. Master Eraqus had given her an important task and she would obey. Her next stop was Yen Sid’s Tower. As she flew on her Keyblade Glider, a huge shockwave hit her. The Keyblade Glider quickly went out of control. She went to the furthest reaches of space, sent to a completely different world. Aqua crashed in a small clearing and groaned in pain. Slowly she got herself up and grabbed her Keyblade. Where was she? After a quick look around, she didn’t see anyone else. She wondered how far the shockwave had sent her and what sort of world was she at now? Aqua looked around some more and slowly began to explore. Right now there didn't seem to be any unversed around. Was this world pure? Was this world the only place which unversed hadn't touched? She could only hope. She continued to walk until she came to the gates of a city of some kind. Two creatures stopped her, asking her what she was doing at the city.
"I am Master Aqua, and I have arrived from another world. I was taken off course from my destination by a powerful shockwave. I had a mission from my Master, to find out what these monsters called Unversed were, to find out their origin. Have you seen any monsters around? Anything that shouldn't belong?"
She watched as the two creatures looked to each other before slowly shaking their heads. However Ahrah immediately glowed and spoke up as he overheard what Aqua had said.
"Let her in, I believe she might hold important information about Pixie."
With that, the two creatures stepped aside and allowed her entry. Aqua slowly walked in the city and towards the sword as well as it's wielder.
"A talking sword? Strange, I've never seen anything like it before. Where am I?"
Ahrah spoke up once more to answer her question.
"You are in the world of Falana. What you said just now, about these Unversed. I believe it will be of great importance very soon. I am Ahrah, and my master is Dust. This is the Nimbat City Husa Raénix. There is a certain Nimbat that has given herself to darkness called Pixie. She is extremely dangerous which is why I have gathered the wielders of the Swords of Elysium to try and form a plan to stop her. If these Unversed are the creatures I fear so much, then....I am afraid our mission may never be a success."
Ahrah stopped glowing and stayed deathly silent. Dust looked around before quickly speaking.
"But Unversed, I have never seen or heard of them before. Why are you so afraid of them Ahrah, what are they?"
Sky spoke up next.
"I agree with Dust, what are these 'unversed' what makes you fear them so much? You are the Elysium Sword of Magic, you can do almost anything."
Once again, Ahrah didn't say a thing, instead he stayed extremely quiet. Aqua just looked around slowly, not sure what exactly was happening.
Xehanort and PixiePixie listened to everyone as they spoke and watched the display. When they were all finished, she gave a quick nod. The humans would be useful for the time being. She could always do away with them the moment their usefulness ran out.
"Very well then, I will allow you to join me. You seem strong enough."
All of a sudden, she heard fireworks and explosions coming from the direction of the first Kingdom. She stared for a moment, wondering what was going on then slowly, she held out her hand and as she did a screen appeared showing the first Kingdom of Power.
"Let's see what exactly is going on."
She watched the last five minutes of what had happened in the first Kingdom and saw it get destroyed. She smiled brightly and laughed out loud.
"HA! Foolish humans, if they want war, then it is war that they shall get!"
Suddenly she had noticed another human that had been standing there and had asked her a question. She opened her mouth to answer the question but then someone else arrived.
Xehanort was keeping track of Aqua, Terra and Ventus however, when they landed on a strange world he had never seen or heard of before, he had to investigate. After all, one of them going was a coincidence, but all of them going at the same time? No, there had to be something going on, and he needed to know what. He travelled to the world of Falana himself and landed in a small clearing. He would wander around and explore. He could sense where Terra, Ventus and Aqua were easily because of their Keyblades, but he could also sense another great power. This place, this world was filled with powerful magic and power. He smiled, perhaps this place could be of use to him. He walked into a dark forest and stopped when he saw Terra and a few others.
"Ah, Terra. I thought I could sense you here."
Xehanort looked to Pixie and as soon as he focused on her, he could sense something familiar, but different somehow. He just couldn't put his finger on it. He kept staring at Pixie, focusing on her until something clicked. This area was plagued with darkness, yet not a single unversed had been seen. In this creature he could sense great power, darkness unlike any other. In this creature, he could sense the origin of the unversed! Xehanort smiled widely and gave a soft laugh.
"Terra, do you sense that? This creature, she is powerful. Can't you see, Terra? I can feel it, can you? She has conquered her darkness. She is exactly what you need, Terra. She can help you to control it so it never controls you!"
Xehanort looked to Pixie and slowly stepped forward.
"I am Master Xehanort, you have my full cooperation. I do sense however that you yourself is learning your newfound powers. Perhaps, we can all help each other."
Pixie listened to Xehanort, looking to him to Terra slowly, apparently, they knew each other. After a minute of silence, she herself could sense Xehanort's power. She knew that he could be extremely useful to her and so she slowly gave him a nod.
"Very well Xehanort, I am Pixie. I will gladly accept your aid. There is a city close by called Husa Raénix. The nimbats there constantly threaten me all because I created something beyond their imagination, magic. They fear it, and so they fear me. Perhaps you can offer me protection whilst we train and become stronger?"
Xehanort nodded once more, smiling softly. He knew this was a lie, he could sense it however he wasn't going to say anything as he had a feeling Terra would believe her.
"Yes, me and Terra can gladly help you. We come from another world you see. The Keyblade, it allows once to travel to anywhere they wish. I myself, own a Keyblade. I will summon aid for you."
He held out his hand and suddenly a keyblade appeared. He grabed it and held it out. A moment later, black portals began to appear and a masked man stepped out, it was Vanitas!
"I want you to meet someone very important to me. This is Pixie, the mother of darkness itself!"
Vanitas stepped back, then immediately Vanitas bowed before Pixie. Xehanort looked back to her one last time.
"We have all got something to teach you Pixie, as you have for us. Let us not waste any time, we must train, all of us."
Pixie nodded, looking at everyone slowly. It was funny, she didn't expect her army to grow so rapidly, she smiled and even laughed a little. The mother of darkness hey? Well, she liked the sound of that very much so. Xehanort spoke up again as he held out his hand.
"First of all Pixie, you must focus on your hatred, your anger, delve into all of those dark emotions. Control them, release them. Let them all make you stronger."
Pixie nodded and took a deep breath, she closed her eyes and began to focus on her anger and hatred. She clenched her fists tightly as she recalled the human that had called her a pathetic pixie. She would make all humans suffer, they had crossed the line for the last time. As she opened her eyes she could already feel a little stronger.
"No, first of all we must deal with the threat at hand. Humans have declared war on the Nimbats, and since I am a Nimbat that includes me. We must deal with this threat first and attack the Ten Cities of Power. After that, we can rest and train."
Xehanort nodded and laughed loudly.
"Very well, then at your command, Pixie."
Pixie looked around and stopped her gaze on Rinyis, Fennisa and Manti. She didn't know just how powerful they were. She had only seen only a fragment of what they could do.
"You three, speak your names. Then, once you have finished introducing yourself you will head off to the third Kingdom of Power. We are at war now, we cannot hold back."
She then turned to Kunei and Noieas with a smile. She had confidence in these two.
"Since the first Kingdom has already fallen, I will send you two to the fourth and fifth Kingdom of Power. I am confident you can take out the Kingdom on your own easily."
Next she turned to Xerev. He no longer could take out the first Kingdom like he wanted, however he could still very easily help out. She knew he would be able to single handedly be able to take out a Kingdom.
"Xerev, go to the sixth Kingdom of Power on your own."
She then looked to Weiessa with a smile.
"You can handle the seventh Kingdom. I am counting on you to handle it on your own."
Finally, she looked to Terra, Xehanort and Vanitas
"You two can take care of the tenth, ninth and eighth Kingdoms of Power. The humans have brought this upon themselves by declaring war against us. We mustn't take Pity on them. They could be preparing an attack as we speak, we must act first. The Tenth Kingdom's King is dead, now it's people are afraid and want revenge."
She flew up high in the sky and spoke again.
"As for everyone else, I will handle the tenth and second Kingdom of Power. Once you are all done, I will summon you all back here. Remember, do not let the Kings retreat. We must take out the leaders, then this war will end and there will be no chance of success for the humans."
She smiled at them all however, before she could send them off, Xehnort whispered quietly to her, using his magic, he made that whisper loud enough for only her to hear.
"Terra will need to be pushed in the right direction. He isn't like you or me. Be careful with your words, manipulate him and he will be a loyal puppet."
Xehanort then used his magic to cast an illusion on Terra's eyes, making sure that when he arrived at the Kingdom, Terra would see darkness seeping out from the humans. Pixie smiled at him and with that, she waved her hand. Suddenly, everyone was teleported to their designated Kingdom. When they were all gone, she teleported herself to the tenth Kingdom. She wanted to finish it off first.
ChihaChiha was in the fifth Kingdom already planning her attack when the announcement came. It seemed the humans were going to go to war with the Nimbats. Soon after the announcement, the first Kingdom was destroyed. She laughed loudly and shook her head. It seemed she wasn't the only one who planned to take advantage of this. It was that moment that a Nogitsune appeared in the city, they were known for chaos and destruction. She was positive the nogitsune wasn't here to pay the Kingdom a friendly visit.
"Here to have some fun? Make sure you leave plenty for me."
With that, she jumped in the air and threw her Chakram Blades on opposite sides of the city. She then landed and held her hand against the floor. Suddenly, the Chakram blades shot out fierce energy at each other forming a huge line of electricity which ran across the middle of the entire city. Whilst the Nogitsune was doing her thing, the energy built up more and more. Whenever someone tried to leave the city, lightning would shoot out from the Chakram Blades and fry them. After so much energy had built up with enough power and force of a nuclear explosion she spoke up quickly to the nogitsune.
"If I were you, I'd leave now."
The energy collecting in the middle of the city was rapidly becoming unstable, and looked like it was getting ready to blow any second. Chiha jumped off the city walls and ran back quite a distance. Whether the nogitsune did or not, didn't matter. She had given her warning. She could hear people screaming and crying, they all knew what was about to happen. There was no redemption for them, they all deserved to die. Moments later, the city lit up, an explosion the size of a nuke covered the entire city with ease leave nothing but a crater. The city was destroyed, the people were dead. She held out her two hands and the Chakram Blades quickly returned to her.
HehecHehec was in the fourth Kingdom when he saw the announcement. He had been waiting for an excuse to wipe out these pathetic humans. He was bored and this would give him some entertainment. He saw that the first Kingdom was quickly destroyed and soon after, a nogitsune appeared. He gave her one simple look before slowly drawing out his blade. He held it with two hands and as he did, Destron began to charge. It gathered all of the energy that the nogitsune released as well as the energy from negative emotions. Soon Destron was glowing brightly, radiating light.
"You had better leave while you still have the chance because I'm about to turn this city to dust."
He jumped into the air and threw Destron down and into the ground. He landed on it with all of his weight, pushing it further into the ground so the entire blade was dug in. After that Destron created a small shield around Hehec. With that done, Destron released all of the energy at once in the ground underneath the city causing a huge nuclear explosion. The city was nothing, everything was gone, demolished. Hehec jumped off Destron and picked it up.
"What a beautiful sight, right Destron?"
The sword glowed brightly and spoke up.
"There are no survivors remaining Hehec, I also calculate that a total of 3 Kingdoms have been decimated and destroyed already and that number is quickly rising."
Hehec looked to Destron and stared at it for a moment. He quickly wondered who exactly was destroying all of these Kingdoms.
"Who's destroying the Kingdoms?"
Destron glowed once more and spoke up again.
"Pixie and a Military AI Robot also known as MAI are destroying the second Kingdom. It was Mai who destroyed the first Kingdom who then travelled to the second. Pixie seemed to of teleported to the Kingdom to initiate attack. All other attacks aside from three others were teleported to the city as well. Following the most logical path, Pixie and her followers are attacking the Ten Kingdoms whilst the other attackers are acting upon their own and by the time I have finished speaking, all Ten Kingdoms have been destroyed."
Hehec laughed loudly, it seemed the Ten Kingdoms didn't last long at all! Pixie, she was the one who had created magic. The Nimbat that had gone rogue. He smiled and spoke again.
"Take me to wherever Pixie is right now. I want to speak to her myself."
With that, Destron glowed, suddenly Hehec teleported to the dark forest. He looked around slowly and saw Pixie along with several allies.
Xarev and Orochi Xarev was teleported to the sixth Kingdom. He wasn't happy that somebody had beaten him to destroying the first Kingdom but at the very least, at least he was able to destroy this Kingdom. He knew Pixie didn't like humans so he would have to make a good impression. It was then that he noticed a huge black snake coiling around him. It stopped and looked directly in his eyes.
"Enemy or friend?"
All of a sudden Xarev's eyes turned pure purple and he spoke in a monotone voice.
"Friend."
The snake hissed and with that slithered away to a horned man. Xarev's eyes's then returned to normal. The man looked to Xarev and spoke quickly.
"Just make sure you stay out of my way."
With that Xarev gave a small nod. For a moment there, he had no control whatsoever. It was as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. He looked at his hands and slowly reached out and as he did a pure black sword appeared in his hands. He gripped it and looked to the snake tamer. He was working at one end of the city quickly destorying it. He decided it was best to stay out of his way and destroy the other end of the city. So, he turned around and jumped in the air. He just hoped that despite the appearance of his arms and sword his powers still worked. He slashed the sword and a huge way of black energy shot out, it raced across the city and blew up. He didn't know why, but this darkness that Pixie gave him. He could sense power within it. Somehow, it felt alive, he couldn't exactly explain it. He kept slashing and sending out explosive energy waves. As he did, Orochi was shooting out black fire out of his hands which burnt everything to ash within seconds while Kamaziko the demon snake was shooting out black acid out of his mouth. With Orochi, Kamaziko and Xarev all working together the City was destroyed in a matter of minutes. Kamaziko wrapped around Orochi as he approached Xarev.
"You are stronger than I expected. Who do you work for?"
Xarev felt strange uncomfortable around him. His dark aura, that snake staring at him, it all put him on edge. It made him feel like turning tail and running. It was a unnatural fear building up inside of him.
"Pixie.....I work for Pixie."
His voice was shaky and he slowly placed his hand on his mouth. Who the hell was this guy? Orochi gave a quick nod and turned around.
"Good. I'll be there."
With that Orochi walked through a black portal. The last thing he heard was the snake hissing. Whoever that man was, he did not want to get on his bad side. Clearly, he was not human.
YanvarYanvar was currently in every Kingdom of Power at once using her clones. In each and every city, she had disguised herself as someone close to the King such as a guard or an heir. She didn't hesitate to get close to and assassinate the Kings however, she saw the announcement in the first Kingdom, this had caused a perfect distraction in the other Kingdoms. The first Kingdom along with her clone was destroyed by another person. She didn't recognise her but whoever she was, she had gained her interest. One by one, she ripped the Kings' beating heart out and crushed it. It was only when all the Kingdoms started to be attacked at the exactly the same time did Yanvar run out the castle to see what was going on. Clone after clone was destroyed, but she could easily see Pixie and several others were quickly destroying the Kingdoms. The real her which was in the ninth Kingdom decided to quickly leave before it was too late. She had heard about Pixie and she knew who she was. She was the ruler of the Nimbat City before she betrayed everyone there and left. Yanvar decided it was best to head towards there and see if she could find where Pixie was hiding. She wanted to somehow contact her as being her ally would prove to be useful. She smiled and walked away from the City slowly.
VanitasVanitas was teleported to the Eighth Kingdom. He looked around and laughed out loudly. This wouldn't even make him break a sweat. This city would be destroyed within seconds. He rose in the air slowly and rose his sword. A huge black sphere formed above it. It grew bigger until it was large enough to cover the entire city easily. With one slash of his sword the black sphere flew down to the city and exploded sending darkness spreading everywhere. The city was gone in minutes. Destroyed and covered in ruins, covered in darkness. He laughed and landed on the floor.
"Ha, too easy. Now how about we stir things up a little, shall we?"
He placed his hands on the ground and the darkness quickly began to bubble. Moments later unversed rose from the darkness. Hundreds upon hundreds of them.
"Go to the Tenth Kingdom and finish what Terra started. He's too weak to kill these miserable humans."
With that, the unversed sunk into the darkness and rapidly began to travel towards the Tenth Kingdom spreading darkness as they did.
Xehanort Xehanort was teleported to the Ninth Kingdom. He looked around slowly and tried to sense how much power there was here however he could hardly sense any power at all. These humans were no match for Pixie. She didn't need him nor anyone else to take out these Kingdoms. He and everyone else just made things much faster than it would take one person would take. He flew up in the air and summoned his keyblade. He aimed it out towards the city and with one dark blast, the entire city was destroyed. The dark blast quickly spread across the city, buildings collapsed by the sheer force of the dark shockwave, hundreds upon hundreds died in seconds. It took him no effort at all. With the city destroyed, he landed on the ground.
Pixie, Xehanort and HehecBy the time Pixie arrived to the second Kingdom there was already someone there getting ready to destroy it. She smiled as she instantly recognised the person. It was the same person who had destroyed the first Kingdom. Pixie teleported to the throne room quickly to kill the King personally however his heard had been ripped clean out and the guards had been killed. Just then there was a huge explosion. Pixie quickly used a dark barrier to protect herself from the shockwave. Within seconds the Kingdom was completely destroyed. She flew up high and looked to the person responsible.
"Who are you? You are certainly powerful. I saw you destroy the first Kingdom. I am Pixie, it is clear to me you hate humans as much as I do. I have sent my followers to deal with the other Kingdoms."
As she spoke, she could hear and see explosion after explosion coming from the directions of the other Kingdoms. She smiled and looked back to Mai.
"I must get back to my followers but my goal is to bring humans to extinction. You are free to follow me if you wish."
With that she took a deep breath and held out her hand. She focused a little and soon after a black portal opened up. She looked to Mai one last time before flying through it.
Now, back in the Dark Forest, she could see a few of her allies had already returned. She smiled at them and closed her eyes. She used her magic to sense the other Kingdoms and one by one she summoned anyone who was not here already including anyone who had helped in destroying the Kingdoms. She wanted to speak to them all.
"Welcome back everyone."
She looked to Terra for a moment and remembered what Xehanort had whispered to her. Slowly, she turned to everyone else again.
"I must thank you all for aiding me in dealing with the human Kingdoms. Even those who were not sent by me. Every one of you did excellently. Now, if you do not mind, Xehanort could I have a private moment with my new companions?"
Xehanort nodded and looked to Terra.
"Come Terra. Let us respect Pixie's wishes and leave her to talk for a moment. In the mean time we can explore this forest and see just how far it reaches. Perhaps we shall find Ventus and Aqua too."
With that, he led Terra away so Pixie could talk privately. She looked around again and spoke up once more.
"With all Ten Kingdoms of Power destroyed, the remaining humans will have no leaders to rely on. It will be easy to eliminate them all once and for all however not all of you have pledged yourselves to me. So, those who I am only just meeting now. I request your loyalty and support. Join me now and aid me in my mission in complete elimination of humans and I will make it worth your while. Is there anyone here who objects?"
After looking around for a few minutes she quickly noticed an Elysian Sword Wielder, in fact two of them. They hadn't objected or said anything, but how was she to trust them?
"You, who are you and why should I trust you? You both have an Elysian Sword."
Hehec who had listened very closely to what Pixie had said smiled brightly.
"Simple, this is the Elysian Sword of Destruction. Go to the fourth Kingdom and just see what destruction this blade is capable of. My name is Hehec and my sword is Destron."
Pixie stared at him before looking to Destron who glowed and spoke.
"Believe us or not, choose what you will. Reject us now and you may be losing a valuable ally."
Pixie gave a small nod. She had seen what he had done but she was weary when it came to Elysian Swords. She waited for the answer of the other user before nodding once more.
"Very well, fine. I trust you, after all you did destroy that Kingdom. It shows you are willing to take innocent life and eliminate the human scum."
Pixie looked around once more. She stared at Orochi and she felt her skin crawl. There was something about him that made her feel on edge. She had seen what he did to Xarev too, whoever he was, he was powerful.
"And who might you be?"
Orochi stared at her with a cold look and answered simply.
"Orochi, and this is Kamaziko."
The snake hissed gently and she nodded to him. After that she looked to Chiha. She was extremely powerful and she was an elf too.
"Who would you be?"
Chiha laughed loudly and spoke.
"The name's Chiha. Don't worry, you can count on me. I hate humans as much as you do. Eliminating them would do this world a favour."
Pixie gave a small nod then finally looked to Yanvar. She had been in every single Kingdom at once so clearly she could clone herself. She was even the one who ripped the hearts out from the kings.
"And lastly, who are you."
Yanvar smiled and spoke up.
"I'm the girl that was in every single kingdom simultaneously. My name is Yanvar, can you afford to lose me? You are going to need a lot of help. People are going to try and stop you."
Pixie nodded, she knew very well there would be Elysian Sword Wielders out there who would try to stop her. She needed more allies, she had plenty here but plenty was not enough. She needed more if she wanted a chance to conquer this earth. Pixie took a deep breath and sighed. Slowly she looked to her hands before pressing them against the ground and closed her eyes as she concentrated, it was then that all of her hatred and anger flooded out of her, she needed to get stronger, she needed to gain more power. That was her focus. As she did all this the darkness around her began to rapidly bubble and boil. It was spreading over the forest far faster than before. The corruption spread rapidly, the trees turned black, the forest became dark where no sun penetrated.
"With these words I bestow the gift of power within the Earth. Let my rage and hatred floor the earth and bathe it in a never ending shadow world. Let all who walk this hell who dare oppose the mother of darkness suffer in eternal pain and suffering."
After a few minutes of nothing else happening Pixie sighed. Although there was something that was different. Now, for some reason, she felt like the entire forest was different, that there was something deep within the corrupted darkness. It had changed somehow, but Pixie wasn't sure how, not yet anyway. She looked to Xarev and she sensed the same power coming from his arms. Had she done the same thing there too? Still, she noticed something important She was far stronger now and the only thing that had changed was the forest getting more corrupted. She gave a small smile. At that moment, the corrupted darkness began to shift and bubble. It was starting to take shape into something new and soon enough two new creatures formed in front of her. Two creatures sat in front of her, they were small but perhaps they would be strong too.
She gave a small smile as the creatures stared at her. What were they? Well, they didn't exist until now, so it was her responsibility to name them.
"Interesting, have I created life? Well as your mother I officially name you Dragons. That is what you are. Now, you need names, don't you? You shall be called Midnight and Igneel."
She laughed evilly, slowly she flew up to the purple dragon and stroked it's head. She was curious as to what these creatures could do. She stared at them for some time before speaking again.
"Can you talk? Do you have Intelligence?"
Midnight stood forward and stared straight at Pixie, just without her saying anything, Pixie knew she understood the question perfectly.
"I am Midnight, you are my mother. What is your name?"
Pixie laughed evilly, this was fantastic. She sighed, and sat down, leaning against a tree as she spoke.
"My name is Pixie, and I am your mother. You will both stay with me. You will learn from me and you will know true power. There is much for you to learn but for now you have more important things to focus on. Midnight, Igneel, these are my allies. Together we will all train and become stronger, learn how to use magic to empower ourselves as well as any other power we might possess."
She could feel the dragons physically. She was connected to them. She focused on Midnight, closing her eyes and yes. She could see what she saw, she could feel what she felt. Did that mean she could feel her pain too? Did this weaken her? That she couldn't answered. Not yet anyway. Either way, for now this was a great start. She sighed, relaxed herself. Creating a new species had tired her out, but still, she needed to get stronger, they all did. For now she would have a moment's rest until Xehanort and Terra returned. Slowly Pixie looked around at everyone else. Most of them seemed pretty shocked. She smiled, she had just created a new species after all.
ErikErik was outside the first Kingdom with Lamy not too far off now. He had gone out to explore and hopefully try and learn magic but sadly there had been no success. While he was out, a huge explosion came from the Kingdom now he rushed back, hoping that it wasn't true. Hoping that his Kingdom hadn't been destroyed. He stopped out of breath as he reached the gates to the first Kingdom or... where the gates would of been anyway. Now all that remained was a crater. He fell to his knees and looked to Lamy.
"They're gone. They're all gone."
Slowly, Erik got himself up and looked around as explosion after explosion happened in the distance of the other Kingdoms. He even felt a strong earthquake, one that knocked him off balance and made him fall back almost in the crater luckily Lamy caught him quickly. He was quickly placed down again. Erik wasn't sure what to do now. The cities were gone, destroyed. He had nowhere to go, nowhere to sleep. He looked in the direction of the Nimbat City and slowly looked to the floor. His father told him it was a dangerous and vile place but it was the only place that he actually knew of that was close by. What else was he to do?
"Lamy.....we have to go."
He wiped the tears from his eyes and slowly Lamy laid himself down. Slowly Erik gone on him and held on tightly. Lamy quickly took flight and rose into the sky. Erik could see the Nimbat City in the distance at the edge of the forest. Lamy turned his head around sideways in order to look at Erik.
"Erik, where are we going now?"
He wasn't sure how to answer that question honestly. He didn't know if the Nimbat City was the best place for him to go. He took a deep breath and sighed sadly.
"Take me to the Nimbat City, down there."
Lamy nodded and with that he flew carefully towards the Nimbat City. It didn't take them long at all to arrive. Once there, Lamy landed and laid himself down allowing Erik to get off. Once Erik was off him he walked up towards the gates which the two Nimbat Guards instantly blocked the entrance. Erik stood back slowly and looked away towards the first Kingdom.
"I.....I am Prince Erik. Please, let me through."
Still, the Nimbat Guards paid no attention. He sighed, with no entry into the City, what was he to do? He had nowhere else to go.
AstridA little after she had walked out of the Third Kingdom and started to head out towards the Nimbat City, Astrid saw a huge explosion coming from the direction of the first Kingdom. She began to quickly walk faster knowing what that explosion meant. The magical races were retaliating. A few minutes later another explosion came then another both from two different directions. It was then that she felt the earth shake so violently that she fell to the ground. It felt as if it had come from behind her, but the only thing behind her was.... Slowly Astrid got herself up and looked behind her. There where once stood the Third Kingdom of Power was now nothing but a crater. The Kingdoms were rapidly being destroyed. Astrid got herself up and created a surfboard out of pure wind. She jumped on it and quickly headed towards the Nimbat City. It was then when she saw a huge Draclafly fly overhead also heading for the Nimbat City. Was it possible royalty from the first Kingdom survived or was it just a random Draclafly? She continued onward until she reached the Nimbat City then jumped off her surfboard. There she saw Prince Erik being rejected from the Kingdom.
"Prince Erik! You're alive!"
She ran over to him and looked to the Nimbat guards. Honestly she couldn't blame them. Not after everything humans had done to the Nimbats and now technically, they were at war with each other.
HelenaHelena walked away from the Kingdom slowly when all of a sudden there was a huge explosion behind her. She turned around instantly to see someone flying off. The City itself was completely destroyed. This was no coincidence. A few minutes later another explosion could be seen then another. The human race was being attacked and it is all because the damn Kings were stupid enough to declare war. Seconds later she felt a huge earthquake. She would of fallen over if it hadn't been for her fast reflexes. She pressed her belt in and her rocket boots quickly activated lifting her in the air safely. It was no longer safe around here. She had to get to the Nimbat City. She pulled out her sword and threw it in the air. It quickly transformed into a jetpack. She grabbed it and quickly put it on. Just as she was about to set off she saw a Draclafly fly off overhead with Prince Eric on top of it. He was still alive! She had to follow him. She then headed to the Nimbat City as quickly as possible. Once there she saw Astrid and Prince Eric. She landed and walked up to them both.
"Hey, I'm glad you two made it out alive."
She looked to the Nimbat Guards and sighed.
"Let us through. I'm Agent Helena. I'm allied with the Nimbat City."
The Nimbat Guards looked at each other unsure before looking into the City. She sighed again, it seemed with the Nimbats being at war with the humans, they weren't sure whether she was allowed in or not.
Dust, Sky and ErikDust and everyone else looked to the Security Footage as the screen came down showing the first Kingdom and saw how the King declared war upon the Nimbats. It was at that moment someone attacked the King and blew up the entire city. The explosion could be seen from the Nimbat City. Sky flew forward and quickly began to switch to the security footage of the other Kingdoms. One by one they were all destroyed but with how far the other Kingdoms were and with the height of the walls the explosions of the other Cities couldn't be seen from the Nimbat City however Dust quickly felt the earthquake and saw how the city shook. Still, with the Nimbat City being shock proof, it withstood the Earthquake with minor damage. He couldn't believe that the Kingdoms were destroyed in a matter of minutes. Ahrah glowed and spoke up when it was finally all over.
"This is far worse than I feared. With the Kingdoms destroyed the rest of the human race will be vulnerable. I fear that things will only get worse from here on out."
Dust looked to Ahrah and opened his mouth to speak when he heard someone speaking from outside the gates. He walked forward a little and saw Erik. Soon two other people arrived. Sky flew forward and gave them a grim smile.
"Let them through. They may be human but Helena works for us and we can't just leave a child on his own, not after what just happened."
With that, the three were allowed to enter. Dust noticed Erik holding a grimoire, yet he knew that 98% of humans couldn't learn magic. It was very rare for a human to even possess the ability to use magic although he wondered how exactly did a book like that exist when magic had only just been created? He walked over to him and bent down gently.
"Hey, do you want to give that to me? I don't think it will be of use to you, perhaps giving it to someone who could make use of it would be better."
Erik looked to the book and stared at it for a moment before slowly shaking his head.
"No, it's a family heirloom. My father told me to never let it out of my sight. One day, it will become very important."
Dust nodded slowly and with that walked away as he did Erik shuffled to a bench and sat himself down. He opened up the book and began to read aloud. It was at that moment he froze. He sensed something, there was a sudden change to the air. He could feel a new power he just couldn't explain what it was.
"Sky do you feel that?"
Sky looked towards the forest and gave a small nod.
"Oh, yes. I definitely feel it. It's coming from over there."
Ahrah then glowed and spoke himself.
"It has happened. We must start the announcement right away, it seems everyone who is going to arrive is already here."
With that Sky rose in the air.
"Everyone, please gather around. Ahrah, the Elysian Sword of Magic has an important announcement to make."
As everyone gathered Ahrah glowed brightly.
"Welcome everyone. I am Ahrah, the most powerful legendary sword of Elysium. Being the Elysium sword of Magic, I can predict things far into the future before they happen however things have suddenly changed for the worse. The Ten Kingdoms of Power have all been destroyed and new people have arrived who should not be here. The predictions I have made have all failed and things will only get worse from here. Pixie has created magic along with a new magic, a new species which has been the start of this world's destruction for centuries however, despite me being able to see this event unfold long before it happened, I nor did Dust have any power to stop it. It is time for us all to gather and put our power together to stop Pixie but this things rapidly changing my ability to predict the events of the future will no longer be useful here. You must bring your most capable warriors that you can spare here immediately. Learning magic is our only hope in surviving this scenario so I recommend we gather the magical races as soon as possible."
Dust listened to Ahrah, shocked at how much he knew. He didn't know that such a powerful sword had chosen him. If what he said was true and Pixie held that much power then she needed to be stopped before she got too dangerous. Still what had he meant when he said that things had changed and he could no longer predict the future? If he had the ability to predict the future due to being the Sword of Magic, surely he would of been able to predict this outcome? Especially since humans declaring war was hardly a surprise for anyone.
Sokolov and XerSokolov had never seen so much destruction in his life before. Things were rapidly getting worse with the Nimbat City leader leaving and the Ten Kingdoms of Power being destroyed. Xer looked to Sokolov slowly before looking to Ahrah as he began to speak. When he was finished Xer turned to Sokolov again.
"We definitely came to the right place. Now we just need to do what we can to stop Pixie and eliminate this darkness."
Sokolov nodded and looked out towards the forest. He could feel it too, the new magic, the new power in the air. It was the same in other worlds too.
BlueBlue listened to Ahrah and then nodded to Dust. Things were changing and according to the Sword of Magic, that was not good. He looked to Eric before looking to Helena and Astrid. It was funny really. Despite being at war with the humans Sky was still kind enough to let them into her City. Still, the Nimbat City was still in chaos, there was no leader. There was no organisation He looked to Sky and stared at her. He knew that she was the rightful leader of this Kingdom now but at the moment, she wasn't acting the part. He closed his eyes for a moment and sighed. Slowly, he clenched his fist. He couldn't bear see everything go wrong and all because of Pixie. It was a chain reaction. All of this started because of her. Blue flew up quickly and began to call out to everyone.
"Katnis, get the other Lalafell here as soon as possible! Kuro, get the Nekos here as soon as you can! Hineta bring reinforcements to the Nimbat City! Serami thank you for coming we're very grateful. Could you use your physical strength to clear the rubble quickly please, then I would like you to bring the Usamimi here. I know it is a long travel but this is a emergency. Jade gather as many Elves as you can and put them on watch around the City so we have eyes on the forest and everything that is going on around us. Aeristra and Helena, work together to create droids that can stealthily scout the forest. We need to know if Pixie is located there, who's helping her and what she's planning. Raven, Leona and Axis, I want you three to travel to as many human cities as you can and bring as many people here as possible! Elsrid, Elsera, Duncan and Cinbar will all be staying here and learning as much about this world as possible. Aqua I would like you to tell the Elysian Sword Wielders everything you know about Unversed, it could be important.
Everyone else please separate into your own species groups for the time being. The more organised we are the faster we can get settled and begin training. Guards, let anyone who wishes to pass enter, magical species or not. We need to gather and we need to protect the human species despite wha they may of done to us in the past that doesn't matter."
The Nimbat Guards looked at each other then looked at Blue then slowly they moved to the sides allowing anyone who wanted to enter pass.
KatnisKatnis listened to Ahrah and she found his words strange still, what he said was true. Grouping up was the best option right now however what caught her off guard and surprised her was when Blue began to give out orders. She looked to him for a moment not sure what to do before looking to Sky. She wasn't arguing and what Blue said made sense. She nodded and ran outside the city. She grabbed the reins of her white Chocobo and quickly set off.
"I'll be back soon. I won't be long."
With that she set off towards the Lalafell Kingdom.
KuroKuro listened to Ahrah and gave a small nod. He had to admit, what he said was strange but none of that mattered right now. He looked to Blue as he started to give out orders and the moment he called out to Kuro he gave a quick nod. With a few quick hand signs Kuro teleported to the Neko Kingdom. As quickly as he could he began to get his most capable warriors ready to go to the Nimbat City. Once everyone was ready he and everyone else teleported back. With that he saw that everyone was being organised into groups of species. So for now he and the Nekos stayed where they were.
SusanoSusano watched as Ming surrendered. He understood why she did it they had to get going and having her healed would of been much faster than having a fight then being healed. He bent down to her and held out his hand as he did green aura began to appear over Ming.
"Don't worry, you'll be on your feet in no time."
He turned when he heard an explosion and saw that it was coming from the first Kingdom. A few minutes later another explosion came then another. Then a huge earthquake shook the entire city, buildings collapsed and Susano fell to the floor.
"What's going on? Whatever's happening, it's bad!"
He looked to Ming, she was in no condition to move right now and the City needed to be repaired and maintained before a aftershock hit them.
MingMing was hit by Ragnorock, she coughed a bit of blood but Susano was quick on healing her. She allowed herself to rest for now until she heard an explosion and saw that it was coming from the first Kingdom. A few minutes later another explosion came then another. Then a huge earthquake shook the entire city, buildings collapsed. This was not good. She looked to Rose and spoke to her quickly.
"Go help out in the City, make sure everyone is safe, clear as much rubble as you can."
She then looked out towards the Nimbat City. They were going to be late but at least she could send an envoy to then everyone know what was going on. Quickly, she looked to Daigon and Azaci.
"You two, head for the Nimbat City quickly. Find out what's going on and explain to them that I'll be there as soon as I can. Once I arrive I expect a full report of the situation."
She nodded to them both and closed her eyes and she relaxed, waiting to heal up.
AquaAqua couldn't believe what she was seeing right now. War, Kingdoms being destroyed, people dying. This world was far more dangerous than any she had ever been to before. Upon seeing Blue take over and giving commands, she listened closely to him. When she heard her name she gave a quick nod. From the sounds of it, these people were very capable. She knew she wasn't meant to interfere with the world's natural course but at that point it seemed she had no choice. She had to help out. She looked to Dust and the other Elysian Swords leaders and quickly began to speak.
"So, I along with my friend, Terra were given a mission. Ventus, another friend of ours also got involved. It's a long story but let me explain from the beginning."
Quickly she began to go over everything about her mission and everything about the unversed that she currently knew of.
ElseraElsera was surprised at everything going on at once. Cities being destroyed, people dying. This world was dangerous. These people needed their help. Upon hearing heir order Elsera gave a quick nod. It would be wise to learn what she could she looked to Aqua as she spoke and decided to listen. After all, the Sword of Magic said that the information could provide being useful.
WeilaWeila knew something was going on with all the cities being destroyed and the intense earthquake. She wasn't surprised at all when Kuro appeared and began to get people ready to go to the Nimbat City. When everyone was ready and they teleported to the Nimbat City she looked around, everything seemed a lot more organised that she expected to see it. She stood where she was for now with Kuro waiting to get started.
ArintoArinto knew that there were trouble when he saw the effects of the Ten Kingdoms of Power being destroyed. He could sense dark days ahead. It was time that he and the other Kitsune went to the Nimbat City. They needed to know what was going on. He quickly gathered his warriors and began to set out towards the City. It would take him about an hour to get there, once there he would be able to help out with the situation and find out what was gong on at the same time.
SarenaSarena being underwater in Atlantis didn't know about the explosions or the Kingdoms being destroyed. The surface dwellers' business was no business of theirs unless it affected Atlantis of course however, this time it did. All of a sudden a powerful earthquake shook the earth. It was so powerful that the Atlantic Buildings shook and crumbled, tsunamis were created, powerful whirlpools were created. Hundreds upon hundreds of sea life were dying while the Atlantic Guardians were getting chaotic. Sarena knew that something was happening on the surface and it was affecting Atlantis.
"Kalo, Arios we're going to the surface to find out what the hell is happening up there! Everyone else protect Atlantis!"
With that she swam quickly up to the surface. Once on the surface she stepped out of the ocean. She looked around for a moment before using the water from the ocean to lift her up and carry her high above in the air. She looked at the Nimbat City in the distance before and pointed to it.
"We're going to the Nimbat City. Pixie is always well informed. We need to find her and speak to her quickly."
With that she used the water to carry her quickly high above the trees. It took only a matter of minutes to arrive in the Nimbat City. Once there she landed at the front of the gates. The Nimbats were obviously shocked to see the Atlantis Queen at their doorstep. They bowed their heads to her and quickly allowed her through the gates.
AteetesAteetas would normally stay away from the other sword wielders however with everything going on and the destruction of the Ten Kingdoms she had a horrible urge of going to the Nimbat City and she just couldn't hold it back as much as she hated it. She needed to know what was going on and she wanted to know if she could do anything to help. Well, she didn't want to help at all, she didn't actually care but with her Elysian Sword, Divina, that all changed. She was pushing her and pushing her and right now she was being really insistent and so she stepped through the gates of the Nimbat City. Obviously, no Nimbat questioned her being there being she was a Elysian Sword Wielder.
KatnisKatnis quickly arrived at the Lalafell City. She was about to enter when the guards stepped in front of her. They gave a polite smile and spoke.
"We apologise your Majesty, but 'you cannot ride you Chocobo in the City'"
Katnis stared at the guards angrily. She tapped Whitestorm and he ran faster. The guards slowly backed away then all of a sudden Whitestorm jumped in the air and landed on the two Lalafell Guards. Katnis laughed and patted Whitestorm again in which he continued past them.
"Sorry, but this is a emergency!"
Once in the city she jumped off her Chocobo. She quickly collected the Lalafell warriors and looked around until she saw the four people she needed.
"Kiwi, Palka, Raphi and Ryiaroar. You're all coming with me to the Nimbat City! Get on someone's chocobo and hold on tight!"
Once everyone was ready, they all set out again. It didn't take them long to arrive back at the Nimbat City. Once there, they all got off and stabled the Chocobo then entered the City.
Kwi, Raphi and PalkaThe four children knew something was going on with the Earthquake and the explosions. However, when Katnis arrived things quickly got hectic. It seemed everyone was going to the Nimbat City. They got on a different Chocobo each and off they went. It didn't take them long to arrive in the City. Once there they entered quickly and stayed with Katnis now while the four waited to see what was going on and what they were supposed to do.
SoulSoul could feel darkness in the air and he knew something was happening. He flew up high looking out towards the forest. He could sense darkness there and a lot of it. He could also sense a lot of death. Every species was panicking and he didn't blame them. He floated around for now, watching them. At the moment there was nothing he could do but watch.
Blue, Sarena and DustBlue continued to sort everyone out in groups and try and organise everything. As he turned around he stopped when he saw the Atlantians arrive. What were they doing here? Weren't they supposed to be in hiding? He quickly flew up to Sarena and bowed his head.
"Sarena, you're here. Are there problems in Atlantis too?"
Sarena nodded and slowly looked around.
"Yeah there are. We need to talk to Pixie immediately."
Blue's eyes widened, he forgot that they never kept updated with surface matters. Of course they wouldn't know about Pixie. He sighed and shook his head.
"Pixie's not here. She betrayed the Nimbat City. That makes Sky the leader....but currently she's a little too busy so I'm taking charge for now."
He looked to Sky and then back to Sarena.
"She stared at Blue for a moment, a look of pure shock on her face. Then all of a sudden she laughed. She walked on and shouted out loudly.
"Pixie I need to talk to you!"
Blue opened his mouth to speak but quickly closed it again. He felt extremely insulted. She had just laughed in his face. Was he not worthy to be giving orders? Somebody had to. It was when Ahrah glowed and spoke up that Sarena stopped to listen.
"Sarena I am afraid that Pixie is not here. She left the Nimbat City after killing the Tenth King of Power and created magic."
Sarena just stared at Ahrah with a look of complete confusion.
"Wait, what? So Pixie isn't here after all? What the hell is going on?"
Blue flew up to her and sighed.
"You best sit down, there is a lot to explain."
She looked to Blue and sighed. Giving a nod she walked over and created a chair out of pure water. With that, she sat herself down. When she was seated and rested, Blue went over everything that had happened. It was then that the Lalafels returned.
Yuki and ChristiYuki and Christi were exploring the forest and investigating in the source of the earthquakes. They had come from the Land of Old, dinosaurs were already unsettled as it was and now with the earthquakes things were even worse. Slowly they walked into the dark forest, wondering where they were and soon enough they stumbled upon a Nimbat along with many other people they didn't recognise.
DreadnaDreadna walked in the forest slowly. She had noticed that the forest had changed within the past few days rapidly. The air felt different, she could sense dark power. There were explosions and a earthquake. Something was going on and she wanted to know what. She wandered into the Dark Forest until she saw a nimbat along with many others she did not recognise.
AxelAxel had seen all the Ten Kingdoms be destroyed. It was impressive, he had to admit. The main Cities were destroyed and now the human population was smaller than ever. He wondered who was the cause of this and where they were. Well looking into the forest, he only had one guess and so, that's where he headed. He walked with one axe over his shoulder as he went deeper into the forest. He stopped when he saw Pixie and a group of others he didn't recognise. Slowly, he lowered his weapon from his shoulder and smiled.
Pixie, Axel, Dreadna, Yuki, ChristiPixie turned to see two more arrive and strangely on dinosaurs. She opened her mouth to speak when an elf came then a few minutes later another human came. Before any of them could speak Pixie spoke up quickly.
"Who are you three. Introduce yourselves now."
It was Yuki who spoke up first, Sharptooth stood forward slowly then she looked to Pixie.
"My name is Yuki and this is Christi. We came here to investigate the source of the explosions and earthquake."
Pixie stared at Yuki then looked to Christi. After a few minutes she gave a small nod.
"I'm surprised. I thought dinosaurs were extinct. It was me and my team who caused those by destroying the Ten Kingdoms of Power."
Christi looked over to Yuki quickly with a look of surprise and then back to Pixie.
"You destroyed the Ten Kings of Power? That's fantastic. They've been searching for the Land of Old for years, not like they ever came close."
Yuki smiled and looked around at Pixie's followers before looking back to Pixie.
"We would like to join you Pixie, if you allow us to we will return to the Land of Old immediately and bring back some of our warriors."
Pixie thought about it for some time before slowly flying up to Sharptooth. She placed her hand on it for a moment and closed her eyes. She could sense magic and power in him. She looked to the other one then turned back to Pixie.
"Very well, you can join me however we will all be coming with you. It will be better to have a place to hide and train, a place where we won't be disturbed."
Yuki looked to Christi and then back to Pixie.
"Very well, but please promise us you won't do anything to harm the inhabitants of the Land of Old there. If you can promise us that then we can take you when you are ready."
Pixie stared at her before looking around at her followers.
"Very well. Everyone, do not harm the inhabitants of the Land of Old. They are our allies now."
With that she turned to Dreadna. The moment she did she spoke up.
"I am Dreadna, I also came to investigate. I sense great power within you as well as in this forest and after hearing you say you destroyed the Ten Kings of Power I would very much like to join you."
Pixie smiled and nodded. She could trust an Elf most definitely.
"Very well, you can also join me. Get ready to leave immediately."
Dreadna nodded quickly and ran off back towards her village. With that, she turned to Axel, the other human that had come here.
"Yo, I'm Axel and ya better not forget ya hear me? You see, I wanted to see who exactly destroyed the Ten Kingdoms. Well, now I know it's you. I think it's within my best interests to join you now before it's too late."
Pixie laughed and flew over to him. She focused on him and yes, she could sense power within him. He wouldn't completely be useless to her.
"Fine, I sense power within you."
She looked around and spoke up quickly.
"Everyone, get ready to leave."
Once Dreadna and the rest of her Elves had returned they set off the Land of Old. They travelled for hours, passing through waterfall caves, hidden alcoves, walking through jungles and eventually, they came to a small slope which headed underground through a large cave hidden by large trees and bushes. As they travelled through the cave crystals could be seen shimmering throughout. Once outside the cave there could be seen dinosaurs of all kinds. Yuki stepped forward with a smile on her face.
"Welcome to the Land of Old!"
