King Kindred

Home Is Where The Starship Is

Harrison was a bit relieved to know that his spur-of-the-moment plan didn't trigger Kir's PTSD, but he hoped that he wouldn't have to do it again. He could feel her concern for him. She was right. For the first time since this bracelet jumped on his wrist he was worried about what it would do to him or turn him into. He didn't want this to be routine for him. He didn't want to oppress people. His own people had known that experience for way too long. That's part of why he wanted to use this armor to crumble the empire's hold over the galaxy. It was to make up for his failure to do so for his people on Earth. He saved lives with the power he had, but he didn't change them. And that honestly always weighed on him.

He was glad that his plan worked for the time being. He still wanted out of this scrapyard and outpost as soon as possible. He wondered where they'd go next with their new ship. The galaxy was large and a lot likely changed in the fifty years since Kir has been on Earth. He wondered if there'd be any worlds willing to host a couple of runaway troublemakers. He wondered if a rebellion had already started. Actually, the reality officially hit him. They didn't have any idea of what was going on out here.

"I'll ask. Also, can you read the first unsuspecting mind once we're done here? We need to at least know the status of the empire and how enforcers are received here." Harrison replied before focusing on the bugman in front of them. "I have some rare cargo to unload. I know someone like you knows everything about everyone. Who here on this station wouldn't dare cheat an enforcer? I rather not make an example of someone today. As you can see by the ship I'm not having the best day."

Do we have a Discord group, by any chance?

@mattmanganon

No, we've just been using the OOC.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Would making Star Wars a musical make it more Disney-Like and therefor more accessible from a Kingdom Hearts PoV?

@Sadu

I'm still of the mind of making it one of the worlds here. I might have Alias end up in Attack of the Clones right before the escort mission to Naboo and end up changing the story a bit and even attending Anakin and Padme's wedding.

Then Revenge of the Sith in 2. A New Hope might not even happen with the interference in the timeline.

If I do this, the blue one will be his keyblade in that world, but something he'll acquire on Geonosha.

Keyblade

Home Is Where The Starship Is

Harrison listened to Kir as she went on reasoning with herself, rather than him, on going through with his plan. He couldn't help but be captivated by the visual expressions on her face that represented the wheels in her head turning. He laughed when she finally agreed, though he wanted to correct her on one misconception she had about Earth. "You'd be right about Earth if you were talking about our world militaries, but we have a different protective force on Earth. You and I aren't the first superpowered people the world has seen. We have a group of the population known as Homo Superiors or mutants, but I hate that word. They're still humans. They just have an extra gene inside them that gives them powers. A group of mutants formed a team known as the X-Men. They have a weather witch, a wind demon, an unkillable soldier, a tech genius from the future, and a one man army in both the figurative and literal sense. He can copy almost any mutant's ability, including cloning. There's also an imprisoned reality warper. Basically, whatever trouble we get into out here won't be a problem for Earth. If the empire found out about them, that's probably why they didn't check on the armor they sent."

Harrison armored up as he listened to Kir. He was a bit nervous, but at the same time he felt a bit at home on this mission. He was an archaeologist and treasure hunter before he became one of Earth's superheroes. Smuggling and bartering were part of his skillset, but he decided to take her lead with this being his first time in space. He soon realized quickly why he shouldn't have. Earth, space, it didn't matter. Filth and untrustworthy people could be found wherever they went. He just wished it wasn't the very first person they met out here, but that was just their luck. Everything had been way too easy despite all the odds that were stacked against them. It was about time that their luck caught up to them. But he could extend it just a little bit. Hopefully just enough to get them out of here with a new ship.

Harrison could tell immediately that the scrapper wasn't trusting their story and was probably on his way to report that something was off. Together he and his father was their world's Indiana Jones and they had gotten into their fair share of messes so it never made sense to him that a tomb would be the thing to take his father out. It was almost too ironic.

He didn't look to Kir when she asked him if he was okay. "Forgive me." He whispered into her mind. He forcefully grabbed her arm at the elbow, but didn't apply pressure to it. He yelled aloud to give their insect scrapper a performance. "Did I say you could speak for me, X'hondrian? I don't care what role you served in the imperial palace, I don't need an insignificant bug thinking I can't speak for myself. Don't make me regret removing your collar! I don't want to hear another word from you while we're here. Now, come on. I don't want to be on this dump for longer than I have to be."

Harrison let go of her arm and marched forward feeling disgusted with himself. He was glad that the enforcer armor hid his face. He could hide how he was feeling in his walk, but the truth was all over his visage. He hoped his performance was enough to crush any doubts in the scrapper's mind as to who they are. If it didn't he might have hurt Kir for no reason. "I didn't trust him. The sooner we get out of here the better." He projected into her mind as he followed the scrapper to the door. Get the money and get out. That's all they had to do.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Alias and Alice found themselves following the trail of the White Rabbit into a forest. They eventually lost track of him and took a break in a clearing to see if they could figure out where he had gone.

"Oh. Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Rabbit!" Alice cried out. "I could've sworn he went this way. Do you suppose he could be hiding?"

Unbeknownst to them two mysterious figures were hiding behind them. "I doubt it." Alias replied. "What would he be hiding from?"

"Me, of course." Alice replied spritely.

"Why are you chasing him anyway?" Alias asked.

"It's not polite to chase people!" Two colorful and stoutly men yelled out as they jumped from behind the bushes. "Even little white rabbits too!"

Alice was startled and jumped behind Alias. "Wait. You saw Mr. Rabbit? And I'm not 'chasing' him, chasing him. I'm trying to find out where he's going in such a hurry."

"This reminds me of a story." The one with a collar labeled 'Tweedle Dee' said.

"Ooh. I love stories. But we can't tell a story without introducing ourselves." The one with a collar labeled 'Tweedle Dum' said.

"Ooh. You're right, my brother. You see, we're the Tweedles. I'm Dee."

"And I'm Dum."

"Your name is Dumb?" Alias asked. "Your parents must've hated you."

"Our parents are very lovely and love me. It's Dum, you dumb dumb."

"Dum, you can't be calling people dumb. Even if they are dumb." Dee said trying to calm his brother, but he didn't appreciate Alias' words either.

Suddenly a dark and yellow-eyed raven perched atop a tree in the clearing. He squawked out before speaking. "A couple of dumb dumbs. Won't even fight for your family's honor." Interesting. He seemed to be able to speak in this land of wonder. Perhaps he and his Mistress could overthrow this world's incompetent Queen and rule here. Dark magic flowed with his words entering the ears of the Tweedles to corrupt them with darkness and anger.

The Tweedles were surrounded by dark shadows, the shadows were then absorbed into their bodies to corrupt their hearts. "Um... Alias?" Alice asked nervously.

"Don't worry. I'll protect you. Run, find the rabbit. I'll catch up with you." Alias said, conjuring his keyblade and getting in a defensive position.

There was that mysterious blade again. Whenever Alice looked at it whatever fear threatened to consume her melted away. She leaned forward and kissed his cheek. "Good luck, my knight. Thank you." She said before running off into the forest.

Alias was startled by the kiss and almost missed one of the Tweedles rolling towards him like a bowling ball. He swung his keyblade to send him back, but didn't have enough time and space for a proper follow through. He barely pushed the rolling Tweedle back. "Wait! I'm sorry!" But he wasn't hearing it. He rolled backwards to boost his momentum before rolling towards Alias again.

This time Alias was prepared. He calculated how fast he was moving. This reminded him of his time back on Destiny Islands. He missed home so much. You see, not everyone on the island fought with wooden swords or any other practical weapon. There were a few loose cannons with arms matching their descriptions. They threw super fast volleyballs at their opponents. One good hit from one would have you seeing Paopu Fruit. He leapt into the air as the giant Tweedle Ball approached. Once the Tweedle was under him he slammed down on it with his keyblade using his force and momentum to counter his, bringing them to a stop. The two fell to the floor with Alias on top of him. He looked at his collar to read, 'Tweedle Dee'. The shadows released their control over Dee, leaving Alias grateful for that. He didn't want to have to really hurt him. "I'm sorry about what I said. Your parents love you and your brother. Where is he?" Dee was conscious, but was still a bit too dizzy to answer.

---

Alice was seeing light once again. She was about to exit the forest and was seeing a nice two story house. Could that be Mr. Rabbit's? Before her question could be answered she heard the sound of twigs being broken behind her. She turned around to see one of the Tweedles charging straight towards her. She's heard of raining men, but she didn't think there were rolling ones too. She wished Alias were here. He'd be able to protect her.

No. Since when did she wait to be protected? This world was even changing her. Dinah would be so disappointed in her. She faced the rolling Tweedle confidently and extended her right arm and put up her palm. "You stop right there!" Suddenly a bright light appeared emanating from her chest. She didn't have time to think about what it was. It was from her. It was going to protect her. A shield of light projected from her hand.

Tweedle Dum crashed right into the shield, but instead of being hurt by it, he was simply stopped. The darkness that corrupted him was purged from his heart and body, but that wasn't enough. Alice's light fully eradicated the darkness. She extended her arm out to the Tweedle. "Are you okay, Mr. Dum?" She asked reading his name on his collar.

Announcement Everyone: As of now, Dragonfly won't be joining us in the IC as they don't really have time at the moment. That may change in the future once we get to Kingdom Hearts 2. But I've already been working with some of you in regards to how the story will develop as well as your characters' personal arcs so we will be completely fine.

I want to reiterate however that prior to Hallow Bastion the group will reunite in Camelot for major character and story moments. We also have Ansem SOD's host in the climax, but that'll be revealed once we've reached Camelot.

Thank you all for joining this roleplay and creating a wonderful story together.

Home Is Where The Starship Is

Harrison continued his tour of the ship. Despite the damages and the relative size of the ship there was quite a bit to explore. As he passed through each room memories from Kir's consciousness that correlated to the respective rooms flooded the front of his mind. He knew this wasn't her own original ship, but one from her captors. The thought honestly sickened him. Then an idea struck him. One that he wouldn't have normally come up with on Earth, but here in space he was already planning to spark the flames of an intergalactic rebellion.

He kept this thought in his mind as he continued the tour before eventually returning to the cockpit. Harrison had decided. The idea was probably foolish. He still had very little idea about how the wider galaxy worked. He didn't want to risk Kir being captured again. He wasn't worried about himself. He was worried about her. But if he's meant to be some tyrannical empire's enforcer perhaps he could use that to their advantage.

Once Harrison stepped into the cockpit he cleared his throat to catch Kir's attention. "I have an idea that might be crazy. We have a ship that's pretty much falling apart and an empire and galaxy of darkness to defeat and brighten. I'm sure there's some less deserving people on this Outpost we're going to. Why don't we just steal a ship?"

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

I'll also be working on a post here next.

Fenix Tear [Invite | Ask Only]

Jericho wasn't sure what was happening all around them. One moment he was preparing to give his friends a ride and the next they and their giant ship were gone. Just where had they gone? Someone who might have the answer suddenly appeared above him, the shadow of her fifteen foot form turning the land below into a valley of darkness. Jericho looked up to see who or what was causing this and saw a giant woman? He wasn't quite sure until she spoke. She didn't seem to have a face, but she did have what appeared to be a halo above her head. Her hair was a long and flowing white. She reminded him of Azuria when she blessed his eyes for the first time. No wonder he thought she was an Angel.

The Angel finally spoke and it was clear that she was threatening him. Her words filled Jericho with laughter, but it didn't come out as a dark laugh. It instead came out as a boisterous and monstrous roar sending shockwaves through the area. Jericho then cleared his throat. "Apologies. I'm not quite used to speaking in this form." However it seemed that she wasn't interested in conversation. She wanted to fight and Jericho was one to oblige. Unfortunately for the both of them it wouldn't be much of a fight. The Devil-Slaying Angel was completely unaware of how much of a mismatch this battle truly was.

Jericho opened his draconic mouth to inhale deeply. Every single spear raining down on him found itself pulled to his mouth like it was a superpowered vacuum. He consumed every last one before burping. Such a delicious meal. Did all Angelic magic taste like this? He laughed again, mocking the Angel above him. "You fool! You're out of your depth. Devil and Angel are no different to me. They all fall to the Dragon God of the Night and Stars. I don't know what you've done to my friends, but if you and your allies have hurt or killed them there's not a god that can save you from my wrath. Bring them to me or die."

Narrator: Oh no. I almost forgot about this. Jericho rarely transforms into Dragon Force. He always tells others that it's because he likes to test his human strength, but the real reason is because his mind becomes more like a devilish dragon of legend ready to consume any and everything in his path.

Jericho didn't give her an opportunity to respond or do as he commanded. He wanted her to know the extent of her sin before him. He opened his mouth forming a dark ball of spiria infused mana. He even added the meal that she just served him to the mix. In a deafening roar the ball expanded into a full beam heading straight for Yaorin to end this battle just as quickly as it started.

The Amazing Spider-Twins

Caty and Karolina were able to enjoy their time at the party, but Caty could tell something was bothering her girlfriend. Nightmare's nightmares were getting to her. And if Caty were to be honest what she saw still shook and confused her. Why would her nightmare conjure a her that would hurt Karolina? They decided to spend the night at the Davis residence for the night. The tower felt way too violated. That was the first time they had security concerns there. They didn't even consider that someone would attack them like that.

Caty stepped through the door first and yelled out, "Mom, I'm home!" She didn't have to because Denise was sitting right there in the living room watching TV. She took her shoes off with Karolina doing the same as she stepped inside. "Hey, mom. I brought my girlfriend over. We've had a long night. Do you mind if she spends the night? Karolina, this is my mom, and mom this is Karolina."

"Hi, Mrs. Davis," Karolina said, giving her a hug. "I love your daughter. You've truly raised an exceptional young woman."

"Hi, sweetie. I like you." Denise said. She initially thought that Caty and Liz would end up back together, but gave up on that notion once she and Camilla got together. Ever since Caty joined the Young Avengers and began dating Karolina, Denise could see the light returning in her daughter's eyes. She was worried for a while. Look at her. She was even out on Halloween for fun, not to fight crime. Denise had to stop herself from crying. "Thank you for watching my baby girl's back and being here for her. I haven't seen her this happy in a long time."

"Mom..." Caty mumbled awkwardly as her cheeks turned bright red. She was starting to understand how Vision felt.

"Y...you're welcome, Mrs. Davis." Karolina replied back. If she didn't know better she would've thought she knew they were superheroes.

"You can call me, Denise. And it seems we're having a sleepover tonight. Danny and Chase are upstairs as well. Goodnight, girls, and sweet dreams."

---

Caty started to undress the moment she and Karolina entered her room. As much as she wanted to lie down she did not want to get her party clothes on her bed. Karolina closed the door behind them and started to do the same.

"I think your mom knows we're superheroes." Karolina said while sifting through Caty's clothes to find something to wear for the night.

"What makes you think that?" Caty asked with a turn.

"She pretty much said it. 'Thank you for watching my baby girl's back and sweet dreams'."

"Okay. That last one is kind of a stretch. How would she even know about Nightmare? We just fought him."

Karolina shrugged. "Maybe your mom's a spy. You never thought it was weird that the Spider-Clones became Agents of SHIELD?"

Caty paused to think. "I... did. But no. I've known my mom my whole life. A spy? I mean, she's my mom!"

"I didn't think my parents were alien supervillains sacrificing teenagers to rule a destroyed world, but here we are. At least your mom's one of the good guys."

"I'm sorry, Karrie. We haven't really talked about that in a while. Are you okay?" Caty asked as she walked over to Karolina.

"Yeah, I'm fine. That's not what I meant. My point is that parents tend to be really good at hiding things from their kids. But if she is an agent she'll tell you when she's ready and if not and she just put two and two together, she'll tell you that too."

"You're right. But while we're on the subject of our superheroics, are you sure you're okay? It felt like you've had a lot on your mind since we escaped Nightmare's realm. What did he show you?"

Karolina gripped the clothes in her hand, tightly. She was afraid of this question. "He showed me the thing I thought I wasn't afraid of. That guy from your college class. The Prowler? Do you have feelings for him?"

Before Caty realized it she stepped backwards as if the question was a weapon filled with her greatest weakness. "You mean, Hobie?" Caty asked herself this very question. "I'll admit. I thought I might have. He's one of the best people I've met. Showed me that there were truly good people out in the world. Besides you, the team, and Vision my life has been filled with so much darkness since I got my powers. Then I meet a kid who has to raise his siblings and on top of that saw a problem in his neighborhood and city and wanted to change it and he decided to do it without powers. He inspires and motivates me to be a better hero and person. That's it. I love you, Karolina Dean. Always and forever."

Karolina felt a huge weight was removed from her chest. She was worried about where things were going at first, but the way it ended reassured her that Caty loves her and that nightmare was just that, a nightmare. "And I love you, Catherine Davis. Thank you for not treating me like I'm crazy." The two embraced each other and kissed. Nothing could come between them.
