TITAL 2: Why did It Take Me So Long To Do This?

Jack sk: No I'm good you can take them.

Sammy: (The hell would I do with rum? Eh, whatever.)*takes the rum*

Aleri: *Steps through the portal* ...Dammit, why do portals lag like that at the worst times? *Glares at the remaining soldier* And tell your boss that we're not putting up with this **** again. If he sends anybody else, we'll find him and take his kneecaps.

Xavier holstered his revolver, "Now that that's through with. Saeko, this is our home, THTNW. We'll get you a room and soon enough you'll be a part of it too."

Saeko smiled happily, "Thank you."

-----------------

Minato smiled as Yukari opened her eyes slowly waking from a peaceful rest, "M-minato?" She asked quietly.

Minato squeezed her hand lightly, "I'm here. What's up?"

"Could you go get the doctor?" She smiled as she sat up on the bed, "I think I'm ready to leave."

Minato stood up, "Of course." Leaving the room quickly to fetch the doctor was accompanied by a happy melody somehow.

Yukiko smiled. "So, you're feeling better now?"

<So, I just finished KH3D. All I have to say is DAMN, man! I mean...there were a couple of stupid parts, for example...

Spoiler:

But then there was some REALLY awesome stuff, like...

Spoiler:

So yeah, DAMN, man!>

Having finally prepared the special gate, tendrils of darkness creep along from Shane's outstretched arm into the space before him, stopping a mere yard away before stopping as though pressed up against a wall. Still flowing forth, the darkness spread out until, finally, a Dark Corridor was completed. "This is the way to my home... Home. A strange word to me."

"Is it now," Tsuchi said, not really asking. "I can't say I've had the most pleasant experiences in your 'home,' so if someone attacks, I will defend myself, regardless of who I end up fighting. Just thought I should warn you." With that, he walked up to the corridor and <unless Shane makes an attempt to stop him,> entered.

Shane places a hand on Tsuchi's shoulder to stop him before he enters. "Allow me to go first... My family is not used to unexpected visitors." Stepping through first, Shane strolls down the corridor, strangely excited. (What is this? Why do I feel anxious? And... perhaps... joyous?)

Tsuchi followed, close behind, silent except for the constant sound produced by his armor. He had gotten out of the realm of darkness only recently, and was not excited to be going in again, least of all voluntarily. He had his sword still drawn, never dropping below his knee, ready to fight anything that might threaten him.

Walking along, the eddying darkness swirling around them, Shane suddenly stops. "I'm positive it was around here," he muttered, more to himself than anything. "Where... Ah! Here we go." Pointing at what appeared to be a hole in the darkness, Shane turned and spoke to Tsuchi. "That leads directly to my home... I'll go first. Wait a minute, and then bring the body."

Tsuchi nodded, still not speaking.

Yukari smiled a little, "Yeah, invigorated really."

Shane stood before the hole, hesitant. Finally, after a moment's deliberation, he stepped forward and dropped in.

Kiel opted to stay behind. "I'll just go back home, maybe stay the rest of the night, take another look around town. Er, have fun in the... Realm of Darkness." You know, the only reason I'm still alive is because that place existed. I got lucky, and sank into that place before I completely died. Still, lifesaver or not, it's not the happiest place to be.

Tsuchi waited, just holding the target on his back. Whether said target was comfortable or not was none of his concern. As far as he was concerned, the mission was to go in, leave the target wherever Shane said, then get out as soon as possible. The armor wouldn't make it easy, but he didn't care. He refused to stay there any longer than necessary. He'd stayed too long last time. How long, he didn't know. Too long.

After about two minutes had passed by his own mental clock, which was usually accurate for short durations, and never off by more than three minutes for long ones, he stepped out of the corridor.

Nexus: *Turns around and sees the carnage* ...How the hell did I not hear anything?

Xavier smirked, "Because you're an idiot. It kind of exudes from you."

Riku: Because you're deaf. In other news, I can fly. Add that to the list of things I have that Sora doesn't.

Haar: *appears beside Riku* 1. Cooler Keyblade, 2. Angst, 3. Darkness, 4. A height advantage, 5. Flight.

Riku: Angst?

Haar: One word, friend. Ansem.

Riku: ...That is NOT angst!

Haar: As far as the fans are concerned, you cannot be cool unless you angst a lot. Just pretend.

Riku: I don't care about the--fans? What fans?

Haar: <_< >_> I've said too much! *vanishes*

Riku: ...What fans?

Haar: *off-screen* Oh, top of the list for things Sora has on you! A girlfriend!

Nexus: ...I'd flip you the bird, but I can't be bothered. *disappears*

Riku: A g--WHO?!

Haar: *appears* Normally, Kairi. Here... *points to Sora and Xion*

Riku: ...Y'know...Given what I've done in the realm of dreams, I could probably erase you without trying.

Haar: *pulls out Keyboard* You sure?

Riku: ...Yes. And I don't see how a Keyboard can help you in any way...

Haar: Would you like me to undo the fog-of-in-story for you?

Riku: The what?

Haar: Yes or no!

Riku: Being that I don't know what that is...no.

Haar: Good. Oh, and the other thing that Sora has on you is a Nobody. And way more friends. And Drive Forms. And absolute purity. And a Replica--

Riku: I have a Replica!

Haar: Yes, and he's dead. As I was saying, he also has a Gummi Ship.

Riku: I have Dark Corridors!

Haar: Sora has the power of light.

Riku: I have the power of Light!

Haar: Then why do you not use it?

Riku: ...Shut up.

Haar: Sora also has plot armor.

Riku: Plot who?

Haar: I'm amazed you got 'plot' and not 'armor.'

Sammy: *teleports to his room*...*sighs, lays down on his bed*

Cecily: *knocks on Sammy's door*

Sammy: Come in.

Cecily: Hey. Somethin' wrong?

Sammy: Nothing. *his lower lip slightly quivers*

Cecily: You're lying. I saw your lower lip quiver. What's wrong?

Sammy: *sighs again* You saw those soldiers, right?

Cecily: Yeah.

Sammy: When I saw them... I got so scared. I don't want you to die!

Cecily: I won't. I know you'll fight for me. I know this because you love me. *she smiles*

It wasn't long until the doctor had cleared Yukari telling her to go home and get plenty of rest. Minato assured the doctor that she would and opened their portal home, putting an arm around her, "I'm so happy... That you're ok." Minato smiled at the girl.

Yukari nestled her head into his chest as they walked, "I'm happy you are too. I was so scared when Nyarlathotep attacked... I didn't want to lose you. Not again."

Minato ruffled the girl's hair affectionately, "I won't EVER leave you." They stepped through the portal together.

Athez: *looks at both Jack and Sara* Well, it seems neither of you have anything to say to me so I'm gonna go kill some stuff.

Cecily: *she lays next to Sammy and smiles*

Sammy: *smiles as well* I'm a lucky guy.

Cecily: Yes you are. *giggles*

Sammy: Everything about you is amazing. Your personality, your face... especially those beautiful amethyst eyes.
