Like Sin, I too should have something done by the end of the week at latest. Though admittingly, ...my reasons aren't as important as Pernicious', (You have my condolences; I know what it feels like to lose a dog you really care about.) or Sin's. (I wish you good luck as you end the semester.) I've simply been busy these past few weeks.
"Mercy? ...Yeah, there is such a thing in the darkness as Mercy. But the Darkness devours such concepts, giving nothing but scarce remains. ...Mercy isn't something you give away so easily, Mercy is like respect, it is earned, and once taken away to earn it back is a practically impossible feat. Give Mercy to those who deserve it, ...and the rest..."
Kotaro saw the two who weren't killed by the attack about to come at him, spinning around and around like tornadoes clearly attempting to go for rapidly scratching to tear him apart. But the third one got destroyed at least, so these two are the only ones left. That said though, the only thing he could do at the short amount of time to plan something out is to essentially jump out of the way again, this time backflipping in the hopes of his legs kicking the two that would come down...though it was just as possible to hit their claws and getting the back of his legs scratched up as a result. By now, unless they still had the momentum to keep on spinning, they should have landed. In which case, now was the time to make his next move before they attacked him again.
"The keyblade comes to me whenever I call for it, right? In that case, this should hopefully work." He thought. With the keyblade in his left hand, he quickly placed it near his right hip, then forced towards the left side in a horizontal motion, but right in the middle of it he let go of his keyblade and let it be thrown spinning at the left Neo-Shadow to cut it in half, then he attempted to summon it again into his hand.
Should it work, he would again wait for the last Neo-Shadow to make his move make the Keyblade appear in his hand while dodging the inevitable attempt to kill him by the Neo-Shadow, and parry his move via a diagonal slash from the bottom-left to the top-right.
Should the Keyblade fail to appear in his hand like he feared, Kotaro will simply proceed to dodge nonetheless and attempt to actually roundhouse kick the Neo-Shadow from the left side. Probably a bad move, certainly not a smart one, but without a keyblade it was the only option of defense.
Worse case scenario: Should the Keyblade fail to kill the second one, his only option against two heartless without a keyblade was to rush over to the Keyblade he threw, risking the giant probability of getting slashed to crap with those razor claws of theirs, and wait for them to make their move. Should the keyblade respond in this scenario, then all he could do is wait for them to again attempt striking at him, let them make the first move...No, remembering what Tamius said about Mercy, he can't do that. He would have to be the one to make the first move instead. As such, he would run towards them in an attempt to strike them both down one at a time with a few slashes each.

I apologize for the wait.
(Terribly sorry for the wait.)
Adam looked towards Alice, the woman, actually it seemed everyone at this point began to head after him, if not to run from whatever the rabbit fears, then to find out what these watches are exactly directly from the running rabbit. He listened to Connor as he apparently deduces the situation.
"It looks that way. The actual novel aside, if the Rabbit is taking us hopefully to safety, or to a better place to explain himself, at least, then it's probably best we follow." Adam said as he ran off with the others, hopefully expecting Connor to follow as well.
"So where are we going?" Alice asked to the rabbit in the front, hopping through the forest with incredible speeds for such a small creature.
"...To the Bastion, I believe mentioned before, in which none of the queen's forces would dare enter. Hopefully after explaining everything there, we can head straight towards the queen's castle." The Rabbit responded. Alice looked at him as he explained this, as if he said something odd. She read the original book years ago, and as she recalled, the Rabbit was the queen's servant, not a particularly important servant but one nonetheless. But going by what he said to the Cheshire Cat, this Rabbit actually seems hellbent on rebellion against this queen. Se knew how brutal this woman was in the books, but how bad is she that her own servant would risk his head to take her out?

Funny you mention that, Double. Combining that with their special ability (D/L Modes), I was actually hoping for the two to be Rivals. Much like Ven/Vanitas, Sora/Riku, etc.
Kotaro stood on his knee in silence as this woman, now named Isadora, explains her reasons for coming here as well. It was only fair, as she was at least polite enough to wait until he was finished. She mentioned how she also knew of a Keybearer who knew of Lord Axeus just like he did. The moment she mentioned how long she has been searching for the Dark Master, she gave a glare at him which made Kotaro look away to the side. He can tell by it, that what he said about how long he searched for him insulted her. How wouldn't it? He only looked for a week, she did the same for three whole years. It must have been three years full of problems, full of challenges and obstacles.
The Otherverse was a place he never heard of, but there's not much he could do about that, since he never been outside his world before now.
One last thing to note was who it was in her case who influenced her to come here. Tamius mentioned something about the World Eater, supposedly a monstrous force that, given the amount of time, could probably devour the universe itself. Unlike this Helena, of course, he never saw it or fought it with Lord Axeus, as it was fought and supposedly sealed up years before Tamius was born. To hear Isadora's story, to hear about Helena, his eyes grew wide with a spark of fascination. Whoever she was, it sounded like she was an amazing warrior and all-around woman. Certainly someone worth investigating. ...But if this lady did fight with Axeus all those years, ...why did this girl leave her? Did something happen in this Otherverse? ...Did something happen to her?
Before he could say anymore on it, in came another female wielder of the Keyblade, looking like she needed medical support. She claims that her squad got attacked by a Heartless...Wait, A heartless?
"So then, even Lord Axeus can't control all of them?" Kotaro thought. He then watched as Axeus ordered Tendra to kill the Heartless...and any survivors of this woman's squad, before he then summoned his keyblade and kicked the woman right in the chest. So this was the Master's Keyblade. Looking at it, there was no doubt it belonged to him, the design making it look like a Keyblade of nightmarish imagination. If the Keyblade's design is a representation of the wielder's heart, ...then a question is raised in his head: ...What was it that made the Dark Master who he was? What drove his heart to forge something like that? His thoughts were then interrupted when Axeus began to speak to them again, his stare like a bitter blizzard to his heart.
""Know this," The Master began to explain. "If you come under my wing, there is no room for mistakes." He then proceeded to kill the woman, making her body fade into darkness and come back as some kind of shadow. Kotaro closed his eyes for a second as it happened, before looking again to see the Shadow form.
"...So, this is how a heartless is made? But it's so...small. ...Could it be that...she didn't have as dark a heart as the others?" Kotaro thought. He then looked up at his Master as he continued his first lecture.
"This is the life of a Keyblade wielder of my faction. Kill or be killed; succeed, or be removed. Ours is a world of fear, pain, and devotion. If you are to be my apprentices, I expect you to follow me without question..." ...Kotaro knew this. He knew what he was getting himself into by joining the Darkness. Tamius explained enough for him to know this. ...Still, is it right even in the standards of Darkness to go straight to killing them all, to release their darkness after just one failure? All things go into the darkness eventually, he knows this as well...but what bothered him the most, wasn't the act itself, as such an act may be warranted one day, but just how quickly the Master resorted to it. Perhaps such acts of darkness empowers him, so it's best not to question it for now. He saw him continue...
"I sense greatness from both of you. When I first heard of your arrival on Fallen Jungle, I knew within my heart that you two would be important to me, to my destiny. For two young ones that I've never met, both with connections to my past, both wishing to be apprentices, to come to me the same day is unprecedented. I have no doubt that you two will be my finest apprentices. So, think of this test as more of a formality..." His tone was lighter, softer, from a blizzard to a mild shower of snow. But immediately afterwards, he summoned two groups of three heartless, similar but appearing much more powerful compared to the one the lady became.
"So he CAN control them... But then, what makes the heartless out there so different?" He thought. He stood up as he looked at the two groups. He then heard Axeus conclude his first lecture...
"Isadora, Kotaro, you have two options. Defeat these Heartless and prove to me that you are worthy... or die." He said. As if on that note, the two groups dashed at the two apprentices. As they approached Kotaro, a stream of unconscious thoughts went through his head. The way they moved towards him suggests that they were intelligent enough to produce strategies. But it only seems like they're capable of basic strategies like this. Two on the sides heading to flank him, and one in the front heading to tear his throat out it seemed. With that in mind, he had to think fast putting pressure on the right knee of the leg he extended outward to the front. His left hand clenched into a fist and near the right side of the waist.
"This is it. ...Concentrate." He thought. He stood there for a while, as the heartless came closer and closer. When they were close enough to finally go for the killing blow, he pushed enough his force on his right knee to make him jump back a step or two while then summoning the keyblade into his left hand and swinging it horizontally from right to left as fast and with as much force as he could muster on such short notice. Since two of them should flanking, he would hopefully have at least struck a good cut those two. Landing from his miliseconds of airtime from the jump and hopefully now down to one, with the momentum of the first slash, he would raise the Keyblade above him and attempt a vertical slash from top to bottom down the middle of the last heartless, hopefully cutting him in half.
For the perceptive, one thing to notice would be his keyblade: A very accurate representation of his heart. It would have been an angellic keyblade with a golden blade and the teeth encrusted in sky-blue sapphires, the keychain would have been a sun, and the hilt would have the wings of a dove or an angel crafted on top of it. But right now, the Sun was wrapped in chains, the wings of a dove darkened into the wings of a raven, the golden and jewelry were darkened by dirt and decay, and the entirety of the blade, was wrapped in a sash of black silk.

Sin said From what I remember from Sword in the Stone, there wasn't much to it besides the dungeon(?) and scariest villain in any Disney movie. Not sure there's much to do in there? I guess Beast's Castle had the same kind of thing going on, though.
Scariest Villain? ...I think you're confusing Sword in the Stone with The Black Cauldron. (What with the Horned King.) The Sword in the Stone is the movie about To-Be-King Arthur being taught the way of the world and nature by Merlin, and really only had Mad Madam Mim as a villain(?). Plus there's alot more to that world than a dungeon. (The name of the world would probably be Camelot.)
Also, to be fair, Beast's Castle WAS pretty huge. Not quite sure how big the Horned King's castle would be, even if we combine it with the Witches' Swamp.
For the record (After some thought, I realized I may have sounded like this was the case.): I'm not upset that it wasn't available, simply curious as to why it wasn't. Especially since, if you look at the Disneycember sum-up of the movie linked on my list, (Seeing the movie would be even better.) It feels like it would fit the theme. (Assuming I'm right with the theme, of course.)
Wayward said @Mike (& Jest): I'm good on the idea of having an idea like that, though the worlds themselves could be write-ins. The only think to remember as far as that goes is that we are operating within an AU setting, so those worlds might not be exactly as they were in the games.
Thank you, We won't let you or Kurai-Sensei down. :D
For the sake of not adding anymore fuel to the fire, I won't make any comments regarding the debate between Double and Kurai.
@Kurai: I do have one question, if only out of curiosity... Considering the Themes you mentioned you wanted them to be related to in some way, (Which I assume is the theme of education from Master to Apprentice) Why wasn't the Sword in the Stone selected? It seems like a perfect fit with the theme, and, well, As the Toychest is technically sub-world (A world within a World, *Will hang the first person who makes an inception joke*), I believe we can make due with one more.
@Spike: ...Not a bad idea at all actually. ...Kurai-Sensei, Wayward-Sensei. ...May I have permission to work with Mike on this idea?

As I told Kurai-Sensei, I'll try it post as soon as I can. but Time-consistency is not something I can promise right now. In addition to the RPs, I just finally got my data for my Novel back, so that's priority I have to consider as well.
Don't worry, Corrupt, I don't abandon RPs once I enter them. :)
Also, I'm a little disappointed that Sword in the Stone wasn't available. But I'm satisfied with what we got. ^_^
*Is seriously picturing Kotaro having friendly Chatter with Long-John Silver.*

For now, I'm afraid it's the latter. Even if there was an opening, which a few have in fact actually left, there would be simply no way to get your character into Wonderland now, unless he was spewed out of a plot-hole.
That said, this RP is split into two parts, so there WILL be openings for the second part....But that won't be for a long while now.
Sorry. :(
