[KH] Radiant Garden

[Terry576]

Once, long ago, the gods needed a place to live. They deemed "Radiant Garden" acceptable. They created a man to run it for them, and then...

They vanished.

Now, this man reigns supreme, as a tyrannical king of Radiant Garden. Slaves wander the town, going from place to place for their masters, wanting to make a living.

The current ruler is called Lord Tevuli. Tevuli is a careful man, and wants the town to run smoothly. But, his plans are about to have a major fault put in them.

The Resistance in Radiant Garden, run by a man known to all as Angeal, is currently putting a massive amount of pressure on Tevuli, along with the other top leaders, Genesis and Sephiroth. The two seconds of these, Cloud and Zack, are running massive strike raids on important parts of the Garden.

This cannot be tolerated. This must be put to an end.

As the two groups near a fatal clash, a ship is falling down, streaking through the atmosphere...

[hr]

Nukari panics as the ship begins its descent, losing control.

"Computer, status report!"

STARHAWK is in fatal need of repair. STARHAWK's shields are down. STARHAWK's navigation is broken. STARHAWK requests all passengers brace for impact...

"Computer, Manual Control, now!"

Control turned over to owner of STARHAWK, Evangelion.

Nukari grits his teeth as he attempts to steer the ship.

"Everyone, brace for impact!"

[Beans]

Khy looks mildly upset, bracing herself.

[Creed]

Hunter seems resigned to his fate to become a pile of pizza sauce on the surface of Radiant Garden.
He sighs and closes his eyes.

[Maxios]

Maxios gritted his teeth. He's been in far worse situations before, but this was still deadly none the less.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Alysha's eyes are wide with panic. Unlike the others, she was definitely not content with crashing. Just didn't agree with her.

Her body tenses up in her seat and her eyes start darting around. She wonders how the others can be so calm.

[Maxios]

Maxios wasn't a fan of falling, he once fell of a 100 foot cliff. And as far as he was concerned, this shpi, with him in it, was falling.

[Beans]

This sucks.

[Maxios]

"I would much rather be off fighting Vax then this." Maxios said. He shivered. He gripped his seat really hard, and his knuckes turned red.

[Terry576]

The ship went down, down, down and...

BOOM!

A massive explosion emerged from the ship, and Nukari peeled his head off of the steering wheel.

"Damn. I was hoping to remain unnoticed for a while. We have to move, fast."

He jumps out of the ship, and darts into an alleyway.

[Maxios]

A piece of sharpnel cut Maxios' arm. He grabbed it, and rubbed it for a second, and jumped out of the wreckage.
"Well that wasn't to good, huh guys?" Maxios said with a small, almost unnotiacble, hint of sarcasm.

[Creed]

Hunter whacks his way out from under a dome of rubble of debris, and limps weakly after Nukari.
Damn... he mutters

[Beans]

I've had better.
Singing in her head, she skitters out from the rubble into the alley.

[Maxios]

"At least this time I didn't freefall off a 150 foot cliff. More thrown off then freefall but still." Maxios said wiping dust and debris off his armor.

[riccaru]

A scream sounds from an alleyway, followed by a man flying through the air. After him momentarily comes a gargoyle, pure white and carrying weapons. The heartless has noticed the hunters, though ignores them until he is done devouring the man's heart.
"Ahh, more food. Excellent. Feed, my minions!" Comes from the maw of this creature, as a dozen shadows come from the woodwork to attack the group.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Alysha crawled out from the wreckage, Keyblade in hand. Aside from some bruising, she seems fine. She follows the others away from the crash site. She considers healing them all up once they stop.

Of course, the arrival of the Heartless put a wrench in her plans, so to speak.

She lets out a squeak of surprise. This is followed by her pointing her Keyblade at the incoming Shadows at yelling.

Reflect!

A transparent barrier pops up in front of her and the group. Should last through at least a couple of attacks.

[Beans]

Khy crouches in le shield, holding her Keyblade.

[Creed]

Hunter nearly collapses behind the shield, but he utters no complaint as he makes his keyblade appear and growls feraly, examining the heartless.

[Maxios]

Maxios sat down behind the shield, rubbing all his wounds from the crash. He got back up.
"Guys, let's go destroy some heartless." He said drawing his sword.

[Beans]

Khy gripped her keyblade hard.

[Terry576]

Nukari grins, and summons his Keyblade.

He strides forward, towards the Winged Horror, and says one word, one forgotten word, so quietly, that it's barely heard.

"Firaja."

A massive blast of flame shoots from his hand, straight at the Horror.

[riccaru]

As the fire surges toward Winged Horror a lowly shadow jumps into the blast, destroying itself in the process but keeping the leader out of harm.
"Nice try, child. I shall not die easily." The monster spews before attacking Nukari with the pole-arm, a broad downward stroke aimed at the kid's head.

[Maxios]

Maxios yelled a ferocious battle cry, and charged the Wing Horror. He jumped near-over the beast, and did a flip in the air. When he was upside down, hes truck his sword down at the beast. He landed behind the beast standing.
"I did even't know I could still do that." he said loudly.

[Beans]

Nukari was being attacked again.
Khy did not approve.
Blizzara.
A keening swarm of ice crystals spewed at the monster.

[KerfuffleMach2]

Initial surprise over, Alysha gets into fighting mode. Which, compared to the others here, isn't much.

She points her Keyblade straight up and gives another shout.

Thunder!

A lightning bolt shoots down at the Heartless from the sky.

[Maxios]

Maxios yelled a ferocious war cry, and tried to attack the Winged Horror.

[Terry576]

Nukari takes the hit, not even trying to dodge.

"Well Heartless, you think you can beat me, the first Chaser in centuries?

I do not fall easily."

A flash, and another keyblade appears in his left hand. Fading Darkness, and... Something different. It filled him with a sense. A sense of hope, a sense of light.
A sense of redemption.

He grins wickedly.

"Well, can you face a Chaser who can use Sync Blade? Can you defeat me?"

He twirls Fading Darkness, smirking.

"Or is it too much?"

(I take it BBS distracted everyone? Nukari's Two Keyblades are on his page.)

[Beans]

Khy is all gaspypants because whoa.

[Terry576]

Nukari denies the foolish fool known as the Winged Horror a chance to respond, and strikes, darting forward with both weapons, striking upwards.

[Creed]

Hunter, his strength gathered, jumps over the shield and comes down through the air towards Winged Horror, his keyblade firmly grasped between both hands.
Effectively, he's attacking from the opposite direction of Nu.

[KerfuffleMach2]

The Winged Horror let out a roar at its attackers. It brought up its arms to block most of the Blizzara as another Shadow took the thunder. Maxios' yell grabbed its attention, and it turned to block his attack with its sword. He attempts to catch Maxios with his polearm, in a sweeping strike.

This delays his reaction to Nukari's attack a little. He turns to deflect it, but isn't quite fast enough. The Keyblades strike him, and he roars in pain. Then Hunter's attack hits, further damaging the creature.

The Winged Horror lets out another roar, and many more Shadows suddenly appear and swarm the group. As this happens, Winged Horror raises his hand with the sword and charges a ball of green fire, which he launches at Nukari.

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

Alysha yelps a little when the Shadows appear. She grips her Keyblade and takes a deep breath.

Okay, Alysha. You can do this.

She lets out a yell and attacks the first Shadow she sees.
