Guardians of the halls of Heart, when we from our home depart...

[wrfm-mods.livejournal.com]

Who: Everyone who wants to fight or help
What: The Denizens of Light have broken free and are now faced with the First Darkness itself. What will be the fate of the World?
Where: The Keyblade Graveyard

The Door opened, and Light rushed forth.

"NO!" the Keybearer screamed, the sound fading as he was engulfed. Light, True Light, washed over everyone in waves, coming and coming and never seeming to end until all of Alexandria was covered beneath the shroud locking it in. Chernabog, met with an enemy he could not easily stand against even without his current wounds, shielded his eyes and vanished. There came a cracking sound, elevating in volume until it became thunder.

Weakened by the Ten-Chi Ken, under the pressing weight of its true enemy at full strength, the cage of Darkness shattered.

True Light cradled its children, lovingly soothing and rejuvenating any who might need it. There came a gentle pulling sensation, and all were taken to where they belonged, where their Hearts wanted them to be. As one, the worlds were covered in Light, and Denizens deposited in exactly where they should be. One such world, a desolate land of lifeless keys, experienced much the same, but only those who were ready and willing to fight were left here, faced with an enemy decided by their very nature.

The First Darkness looked on in outraged revulsion, Light prickling at his skin.

They will decide their own fates. The words simply appeared in his head with no voice to speak them, not even Patrick. You cannot do that for them, no matter your power.

And so the Light faded, lingering only a moment longer to fortify those left to oppose the Darkness. The Keybearers stood at the forefront, each grasping their key in hand. Their allies were gathered behind them, some looking confused and scared, others excited and determined, with every emotion in between. The forces of Darkness looked meager in comparison, with only the debilitated First Darkness himself and his handful of Keybearers. Jagannatha's expression twisted into a grotesque sneer, gold eyes blazing with something like elation as he whispered quietly to himself. Mere moments later, hundreds, perhaps even thousands of Heartless and Nobodies were appearing at their sides, quickly outnumbering the Denizens of Light.

"You found it then," he growled, addressing all of them at once. "I find that I am hardly surprised. Your kind were always stubborn, weren't you? Small matter. Once the lot of you are crushed, the remaining Denizens of Light will have no one. It will be so much simpler to keep them caged when all that's left of their fighting spirit has been destroyed beyond hope. They'll be the perfect little pets for us. And it will be so much more enjoyable to watch them break."

In a moment, he was a mere step away from Sora, brandishing a blade of pure Darkness in his face. The boy rolled in a dodge, and Jagannatha agilely turned to follow. That was all the indication his Keybearers needed.

The final battle had begun.

OOC Notes:
- Everyone coming from within Alexandria has been fully healed by the Light.
- Those Denizens of Light outside of Alexandria may be touched by the Light if they so choose, meaning you will be healed and transported to where you need to be, as well.
- Light magic is fully restored. Reverse Cure is no longer an issue.
- Dark magic has been weakened by the Ten-Chi Ken, but is still fully accessible.
- Refugees will be fighting either one of the five Dark Keybearers, members of the Academy of Shadows if they join the fray, or Heartless and Nobodies. Keybearers have the distinct advantage here in one-on-one combat.
- If you have any questions, please take them over here.

Starts off epic battle with sap >.>;;;

Aria had only one thought once she realized she was no longr in Alexandria.

"Seph!" She all but ignored the battle that had started almost immediately. The possibility that Seph wasn't alive or even just not on the same world was ignored.

Wherever he was, he wasn't within her sight. She set off determined to find him and only fighting whatever got in her way.

It was a sappy thought but, she was certain she'd know if he wasn't alive. She'd concentrate on the battle soon. She just really needed to see him first.

Mabry drew in a deep breath for what seemed the first time in forever. There was no catch in her lungs, no pain in her chest. The power within her felt pure again, all green and living and brilliant. Perhaps she would not be useless in this fray after all.

Fast lane through a hurricane~

In her current condition, the healing touch of the Light was a welcomed thing, easily counteracting the darkness Chernabog had all but soaked her and Quetzalcoatl in. When Aya appeared, Quetzalcoatl had vanished, returned to the summon gem around her neck.

She tugged her goggles downward around her neck and looked around in wonder, recognizing this Keyblade Graveyard from cutscenes on Youtube. Jagannatha spoke and she whipped around to face him, returning his sneer. "Never!" she growled defiantly, hair on the back of her neck standing up as thousands of Heartless and Nobodies rose to surround them.

Flicking her wrist, the Spine ejected itself into Aya's left hand. Her eyes scanned beyond Jagannatha, surprised to see that there were several Keybearers on his side. "Keybearers?! You've gotta be kidding me, how the hell are so many working for him?!" She actually hesitated now. In the past there were many times her wrist got slapped for picking something that just wasn't her fight. Xemnas in particular came to mind.

"I can't fight those, I'm not a Keybearer...I don't have a pure heart, I don't got some special prophesy or destiny on my side." she murmured, considering throwing her weight behind taking out the encroaching Heartless instead.

Aya cringed and lurched forward, hand tightening on her strange-looking weapon. "...it hasn't. It doesn't matter! I'm a fuckin' Denizen of Light! SCREW YOU ASSHOLES WITH A RUSTY GARDEN HOSE! YOU AIN'T GONNA BREAK ME!!"

Of the five Keybearers, she chose the nearest and charged.

[fox_the_kitsune]

Fox really hated teleporting and world shifts, regardless of cause. In this case, though, she supposed she couldn't complain. This was where the battle was, so this was where everyone who could and would fight needed to be.

She pointedly avoided the Dark Keybearers, knowing full well she could't take any of them. Instead, she turned her attention to Heartless and specifcally to keeping them away from interfering with the battles between Keybearers. Sora and the others had their hands full as it was.

In the skies about the battle, taking out any and all flying Heartless and Nobodes it encountered, was a bespectacled blue dragon with noticeable white whiskers.

Merlin didn't question why the Light had sent him here. Besides being reasonably certain he knew, there was also just no point in arguing with it. Everyone had a part to play. He was playing his. So it was that he'd taken to the skies, noticing his allies were a bit lacking at the moment in aerial support. He changed forms here and there where it suited the situation, but for the most part, the dragon seemed most useful.

That the Heartless seemed to be aware that the true form of their opponent was that of an old wizard seemed to be working in his favor.

"Ha-HA! Underestimating an old man, are you?"

Admittedly, he could likely take on Jagannatha and the Dark Keybearers, but that wasn't his fight. Sora and the others could handle them. In that, he had faith.

[creepy-son-of-a.livejournal.com]

Seph was a bit startled by the Light. At least, aside from a bit of itching, it didn't harm him.

He nearly grinned when he saw that some of the Refugees and Sora's group had somehow been transported here. The only reason he didn't was that he couldn't see Aria.

He thought he heard her voice calling his name but, by the time he turned to look the chaos of battle was obstructing his view.

He unleashed a barrage of Shadow Flares at the sudden hoard of heartless and then set off to find Aria. There was no way he could properly concentrate on the battle until he saw her.

*tries to breathe some life into this log* Where the hell is everyone?

Being healed was a plus. Being out of Alexandria was also a plus. Roxas wasn't so sure being transported to the Keyblade Graveyard was such a plus, though, especially when the first opponent he ran into was another Keybearer.

Maybe it didn't matter. He was ready, Oblivion in one hand, Bond of Flame in the other. He would get through this bastard and go and help Sora with Jagannatha. There was no question on that.

Yay for Sora?

[wr-npc.livejournal.com]

Once again Sora found himself fighting a form of the First Darkness. Once again, everything was resting on him, his fellow light keybearers and the Refugees.

This was par for the course and he supposed he wouldn't expect anything less at this point.

Jagannatha hadn't given him any chance to respond to the gloating and anyway the only response he felt like giving right now was a Keyblade to the face. He'd have to get there first, but he was working on that, dodging the dark one's attacks and countering where he could. If he just find an opening...
