Snippet #2220882

"Hello everyone, we're back with Derran!" Rania's voice broke Azer's from her thoughts. She had been recently mulling about the events that had taken place and wondering what they meant. She couldn't help but wonder if more worlds were attacked, other than the Land of Departure and Radiant Garden. "Now Derran, over there is Azer, and I didn't catch his name but he's a bit more hurt then the others, he has a good bump on his head." Azer's eyes flickered at the three people who had entered. There was Rania, of course, and Dante. The unrecognizable boy who had appeared was concluded to be the supposed Derran they had been talking to. As Rania took a seat at an empty chair, she continued to talk. "Now then, let's try and figure what went on between both worlds. We were attacked by two people, and yes Derran, one of those people was a strange heartless that could talk. Which is highly unusual, how did he manage to pull that off?" Her eyes stared off into the distance for a second with a tint of wonder. She got back on track the next second though. "On the other hand, the Land of Departure was dealing with a problem of it's own. So Dante, Azer, can you try to explain as best you can what happened to the Land of Departure?"

"If you guys were attacked by regular Heartless.....Then maybe there are two groups out there. Because we weren't attacked by Heartless." Dante speaks up and answers her question before Azer could speak. He had taken a seat on a wooden crate. "These Creatures we fought at the Land of Departure... They didn't attack like Heartless, they didn't try to steal hearts. They down right killed them... and ate the bodies and had red eyes and teeth. And when we would kill one, it didn't vanish but turned into liquid darkness that seeped into the ground, and i can only guess that it corrupted the world." Azer tensed up at his words that were causing her to remember the incident. Her fists clenched in her laps as her eyesight hit the ground. "Worse yet," He continued. "Was when this guy, who was obviously the leader, kinda floated down out of the sky from the storm that came with the Creatures a whole crap ton more appeared. That's when the Masters went out to fight them.... at least i think it was after the winged dude appeared.... it was happening so fast. So the Masters went out there to fight them, tried to get them farther away from the students, but that's when something weird happened. The liquid from the slain creatures rose out of the ground and began to pool together to create one giant monster. That was when it clicked in my head that we have lost, because if the little ones gave off darkness then this big one would give alot more. So the Masters Slayed the monsters and this tidal wave of darkness began to spread over the world, and it was coming towards the main building where we were and Sikes tried to Use magic to hold it off, but it didn't last long. Then i was floating in Darkness, i couldn't see, i was losing all feeling, becoming numb when this brilliant light appeared in the distance and it grew bigger and brighter, and i slowly got warmer and could feel again when i heard the voice of one of the masters saying not to give up and that as long as we have the keyblade we could fight the darkness. Then the light took us here, and so thats about what happened."

Azer gave a silent nod to confirm what Dante had said. A moment of silence ensued as Dante's explanation was took in by Rania, Darren, and Azoth. After a few seconds passed, Darren was the one who broke it. "I am sorry to hear about what happened at the Land of Departure. About you," Derran pointed at Dante first and then waved his hand toward the rest of them, "And all of you." Derran waved his arm in an encompassing manner. "And about the Masters and the other Keywielders." He added with sincerity. His tone then changed when he began to say his own opinions. "But I don't think these were two separate events." His statement made Azer frown, both confused and intrigued at what his thoughts were. "This may sound disturbing but I have the sinking feeling this was all organized. I mean the attacks on both the Land of Departure and Radiant Gardens?" Derran gave shrug of disbelief. "I don't think that happened to be a coincidence. I think our two threats are one, I mean Rania, Azoth, didn't Maverick's last words before he left struck a little odd to you? As if he was talking about another person." Darren said and looked at Rania and Azoth. "All I know that this is very disturbing and if nothing is done soon, they will strike again."

Azer pondered about what Darren had said along with the rest of them. "The attacks both seemed around the same time as well," she added as her eyebrows began to knit together as thoughts began racing in her head. Something in her mind seemed to click because her eyes snapped to the group in the next second. "If what you're saying is true, then isn't the worse still to come?" she questioned them. "I mean, the worse has already come for the Land of Departure." Her voice softened a bit as she spoke. "But maybe there's something bigger going on; something that is way bigger than the Land of Departure and Radiant Garden."
