Zac was slowly losing ground. Between his Keyblade and earth magic, he was destroying Heartless by the dozens, but there were far too many for him to take on by himself, forcing him to slowly back up towards the mouth of the cave. Every so often, he would have to knock over a tower of Heartless as they attempted to get to the ship hovering a couple dozen feet above his head. This is starting to go south pretty fast, he thought as he swatted a leaping shadow away with the flat of his Keyblade. His mind suddenly flashed back to when his world was swallowed. He had woken up on the roof of a destroyed building, nothing else in sight except for the orb of darkness and the Heartless rising from the ground...

The Heartless on his right surged and broke through, streaming toward the cave. He aimed his Keyblade at the cave and shouted, "Reflect!" The Heartless suddenly slammed against a wall made of transparent hexagons before the wall exploded a moment later, sending the Heartless flying back as they disappeared, the force of their impact turned against them by the magic shield. "If you guys are still alive in there, hurry and get out here! We need to get into the ship before things go from bad to a heck of a lot worse!"

It’s gonna be cramped in there. 😂

@Crimson Flame

It'd be a good time for a big collab, though, one where Zac can answer whatever questions he can lol

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Alright, so far, it seems like everyone minus Hoshi and Alias can hitch a ride with Zac, if they want

How high can we count before a mod gets involved?

My next GM post will have the door open and blow everyone to the broken version of the world you can post him trying to get the others on before it happens.

If anyone else wants to post before that they can.

@King Kindred

Will Zac have a chance to cram everyone into the ship afterwards? Or will everyone end up getting sucked up like Sora was?

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Should I wait for everyone to get out of the cave or can I go ahead and move them out with my next post?

I don't think I need to keep this one private.

Zac, Taivas, and Levi will get on the ship, unless Zac intends to cram Lucian and Morgan in due to the crisis situation.

@Little Bird

To be honest, Zac may end up doing that lol

Zac continued to fend off the Heartless, wave after wave while he waited for his passengers. One of them, Taivas, had already arrived, apparently having not been too far to begin with. While he could fight Shadows all day long, he knew it was only a matter of time before their sheer numbers would overwhelm him. The longer he fought, the more he started to wonder if staying in one spot was a good idea. If he got in the ship and brought it around to the other side of the island, then he would not only be able to provide air support, but it would be a lot faster than waiting for his other passenger. "Hey, Taivas, that's your name, right?" he called out. "Get in the ship! I'm gonna bring it around to the other side of the island!"

He continued to fight off the Heartless until Taivas was safely inside the ship, then followed him in, clearing the space with a single leap. He took his seat in the pilot's chair and closed the canopy just as Shadows began to swarm the ship. Ignoring the thumping from the Heartless trying to get in, Zac flipped several switches, pressed a couple of buttons, and the ship shuddered to life before lurching up into the air. "Hold on tight!" he warned his passenger before putting the ship into a spin, flinging off the shadows still clinging to the outside. He flew the ship over the cliff before hovering it just over the water on the other side, turning as he did to face the island. Seeing the beach turned black by the swarm of Heartless, closing in on a couple of people, while the parts of the beach that he could actually see appeared to be the aftermath of a magical bomb going off, he let out a low whistle. He pressed another button and panels on the wings popped up, revealing a pair of automatic cannons. "Let's soften them up a bit, shall we?" he suggested as he pulled down his goggles.

The guns came to life as he pressed down on a pair of buttons on the yoke, firing rounds into the Heartless, careful not to hit the two near the waterfall. Once the swarm was cleared enough, he brought the ship closer to the ground and set it to hover. "Stay put. I'll grab our other passenger and we'll get out of here," he said, an sour taste in his mouth at the thought of having to leave the rest behind. He knew he had no choice, that his ship only had the capacity it did, but he still felt rotten about it. I'm gonna have to get a bigger ship at some point, he thought as he opened up the canopy and jumped out, landing in the sand between the two, Alias and a guy he recognized but hadn't had the chance to speak with, and the horde. He regarded the keyblade in the hands of the blonde guy and said, "Huh. Guess I'm not the only one, anymore."

As he turned to face the swarm, he summoned his own keyblade and swung it through the air. Stone spikes shot up from the ground, following the arc of his weapon as he called back, "I'm guessing your friends are in there? I'll hold these things back, so run in and grab them. We'll sort out who gets the last seat afterwards!"

Oh and it looks like a warzone... not just because there is a massive swarm of heartless but also because it looks like a magical nuke went off.

@Sadu

That much, I gathered lol
