Location: Royal Sky Capital of Lizeria BGM: The ArkThe year is 2018. From the outward skies above to the extensive sea of clouds below, the Royal Sky Capital of Lizeria kept floating ever still, separated from the rest of Earth down below. Although not entirely disconnected from humanity, the inhabitants of land lived under the flag of freedom: the Church and the Council of Europe had no hold to the lands of Lizeria. They lived under the long forgotten "liberal system", where humans, angels and demons can live altogether.
From the end of a bridge lying at the south of the Central District lies a Teleporter, which connects the people of Europe to Lizeria and vice versa. There, a human and a demon appeared, one of them completely tired.
"That... was nervewracking. What just happened down there and what were those things?" The youngest one asked.
"They did not seem as if they were demons. At least, they did not belong to the ones we are familiar with." The eldest one asked. With a last sigh, they walked towards the Central District, aiming to reach the castle right behind it.
"By the way, Agni, what happened to the Achromatic Executioner? Why did the guns disappeared and that strange... weapon suddenly appeared?" He asked, curious to see the response from his brother.
"I don't know, Ignitio. Maybe that was another of Mom's experiments. She could've at least warned me first, just so that I wouldn't be taken by surprise like this." Agni answered.
"You do realize that explaining her experiments is the last thing Mother would do, right? It would be weird for her to pop out something like this and tell us about it." Ignitio said.
"Yes, it would. I'd love for this weird thing to happen someday." Agni spoke once more, bothered.
After the conversation, they reached the Central District. As they passed by, the inhabitants greeted them as they kept walking. Amidst the calling, a different voice called upon them.
"Big Bro!! Bigger Bro!!" A girl screamed in the distance. When they saw, it was
Claire, the youngest Princess and child of the Blackheart family. She waved at them from the distance and immediately ran, jumping at Agni for a big hug.
"Big Bro, you look completely beat! Did something happen? Did someone hurt you?! Who was it?! Just tell me and I'm gonna pummel them so hard, they won't be recognized anymore!!" Claire asked, after seeing Agni tired as he was.
"Don't worry, we've already dealt with them, Claire. Besides, you know how I can't let you go down there alone. The Council isn't exactly fond of you and Ignitio roaming around down there without me, remember?" Agni spoke.
"Do I look like I care if some old men are sitting on their chairs, complaining things like 'Oh my, but that girl is a heretic barbarian. How can she be the brave Oracle's sister?' and those other whatnot? Well, I ain't having that BS! Now, who messed with you?! TELL ME!!" Claire looked completely serious as a 15-year old, thug-like kid could muster. Agni could only laugh and pet her a little bit before Ignitio could speak.
"Moving on, Claire, but why are you here? Is the training session over?" He asked.
"Oh, righti, right, right! There's this cute Moogle at the throne room and it wants to talk with you, Big Bro!"A Moogle? At Lizeria? That was uncommon. The modernization progress was dealt directly with Rosangela and Sidney, so why would a Moogle come and talk with Agni if he isn't the one responsible for it?
"Claire, did you tell the Moogle to look for Mom and Dad, since they're the responsibles for Lizeria's technology issues?" Agni asked.
"Well... no. But he said that this was something specific to you and looked at me with those cute little eyes! I couldn't just resist his adorable face so I just came looking for you instead!" She answered. Wait... Moogles have eyes? They always are closed, so no one pretty much saw how a Moogle's eyes are.
"A topic specific to Agni... this is normally reunions with the Council, but they would not send a Moogle for this sole reason. Now I am somewhat curious and nervous as well." Ignitio commented.
"We won't know until we see it. C'mon, let's head back to the castle and speak with this Moogle." Agni spoke. The other two brothers nodded and went along him to the castle.
BGM: Female TurbulenceUpon reaching the castle, the gate guards saluted them and opened the doors. Once they were inside, the last of the siblings went downstairs at the main hall.
"There you all are! The Moogle is waiting upstairs and he's kind of anxious." He spoke.
"Thanks, Victor. Hey, can you go fetch something for us to eat, please? The Moogle might be hungry after waiting for long like this." Agni asked.
"Oh, I'll go! I'll go! I'm gonna fetch some cookies! I know Moogles love cookies!" Claire said before rushing to the kitchen.
"W-Wait, Claire! We can't eat cookies like this, it'll be bad for our stomachs!" Victor spoke, while running after her. The two of them seemed energetical as always. Hardly something would bother Victor and Claire... except for each other, in some occasions. Agni and Ignitio laughed as they kept going. When they reached the throne room, there was the Moogle, floating all around as if he was in a hurry.
"Kupo! Kupo! There you are, Mr. Oracle kupo!" The Moogle spoke once he saw Agni and Ignitio.
"Sorry, things were a little hectic down there. Anyway, I heard you have something for me, although I don't have any idea of what the could be." Agni spoke.
"If it is related to technology, we shall call the responsibles for you. It will only take a second, so if you could just wait a moment-" Ignitio said, but the Moogle interrupted him. "No no no, kupo! This letter I have is adressed to the Oracle, kupo!" The Moogle explained while giving the letter to Agni. As they checked, it was indeed for the Crown Prince. It didn't have any seal belonging to the countries of Europe or to the Council, so it was definitely something different from any sort of request.
"O...K then, I'll just open it and see what this is about." Agni said as he opened the letter. Not trusting the Moogle, Ignitio took out his gunblade and pointed it at the creature "K-Kupo!!" The small scream made Agni stop momentarily.
"Turn the weapon down and don't hurt the Moogle, please." He asked.
"We cannot take risks. This Moogle might be an enemy spy, trying to take your life and-" Ignitio spoke worried, but Agni interrupted.
"Ignitio, put your weapon away. You're scaring the Moogle." Agni spoke. Seeing as how Agni trusted the Moogle, Ignitio put the weapon away and followe Agni on reading the letter.
"The Heartless Plague has spread to World after World. To find out the reasons for these beasts' rampage, come to where we are; the key to defeating them lies in the wielders of the Keyblade acting in concert. Free Passage via Gummi Ship has been provided; elude whatever enemies are watching you and come to the version of Konstantinopolis/Constantinople that exists in the World of Renovation."... Constantinople? Isn't that an extinct kingdom that has been replaced by Istanbul? Those were the words everyone would speak if they saw the letter. However, the other part called attention: it was on another world. Its existence isn't valid here, but it's valid somewhere else. As they moved on, another part called their focus.
"Keyblade? What is that? I have never heard of something of the sort before." Ignitio asked.
"... Maybe... wait, let me try something." Agni spoke. He extended his arm and opened his hand. A strange weapon appeared right in front of him.
"The strange weapon for earlier! Wait, so this weapon must be..." Ignitio spoke.
"So, I became a Keyblade wielder? It still doesn't explain why my weapons vanished, but at least I'm not defenseless. In any case, I suppose that I should be going with you now, right?" Agni asked. "Yes, kupo! And we need to hurry, because the other people are already there, kupo!" The Moogle spoke. Suddenly, a strange ship appeared right on the bridge connecting the castle to the Hollow Lands. The Moogle flew towards the bridge, signaling Agni to come with him.
"Wait, you are not thinking on going with that Moogle. You do not even know how to wield it right! What if something happens to you?!" Ignitio asked.
"I've been summoned. People from another world need my help. I can't turn my back to something like this. I'm going with the Moogle." Agni spoke. Ignitio already knew that discussing with Agni would be fruitless and he wouldn't turn back on his decision. He knows his own brother and old host, after all.
"Alright, but I'm coming with you, no discussions! Also, we need to warn Mother and Father about this." Ignitio spoke. "Hurry, Mr. Oracle, kupo!" The Moogle called.
"They might be seeing and hearing us now. They know about everything that happens, so we don't need to worry. Now, let's move out. Constantiople and Revelation awaits us." Agni spoke. Ignitio nodded and they followed the Moogle to the ship. Once they boarded it, it left to the space and beyond.
At last, the door opened.
"Hey, I brought the cookies for us to... eat." Claire spoke excited, only to find nothing there.
