Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vanyel became worried as more of the group seemed ready for a fight, maybe they weren't as peaceful a group as they seemed.
"So why are you all so scared, afraid of a few measly Shadows? Or did a big, bad Knight attack?" he scoffed, "When you've battled the Guard Armor or Behemoth, even if you didn't win, but still, you don't need so many for these small creatures."

"Tell me, are you in charge here?" he asked of the one named Musica, "Otherwise I have no time, I must speak to your leader of the crisis."
Even though he normally wouldn't have acted like he was, Vanyel was in a bit of a hurry if this gathering of Keyblade masters could help. In his travels he had seen a crisis growing and needed all the support he could find to help avert the problem.

"You wouldn't happen to be the leader, would you?" he asked hoping that the hot headed Musica wasn't it. Leader that would threaten with numbers was typically not very confident in their own abilities. Van was worried that the group might not be able to help, but it was imperative that he try.

Vanyel sighed heavily, it was going to be harder than he had first thought. He needed to figure out a way to get them to help, but without a leader it would be very difficult.
"Look, during my travels with transporter I saw a growing trend, the Heartless seem to be becoming more active again, and the trend suggests that a Keyblade might be responsible, I need help getting these world back to normal."

Katsu stared at Vanyel,"Leader?What do you think we are?Look,if you're looking for the master,I'm right here.Now,about the 'big bad heartless attack',It was just a few Shadows,and only I can do this with my Key,which is why everyone has their Keys out." he said as Oblivion disappeared and reappeared.

Akemi pouted at the newcomers's haughty comment, but luckily everyone else spoke before she could make a rude retort.

But she felt happy when everyone agreed that they had no leader. Because that's what they were--a team.

"And besides," Akemi added, "we just like to be safe, you know? If we're all here, why not just use all the people we have? More people, less work for everybody."

Then she directed the conversation back to the newcomer's explanation. "Wait...so you're saying that you know some way we would be able to help?"

Finally, somethign more than just messing around beating up little Shadows!

((Hello all, I'll be playing your evil emperor Akio. I was just wondering if someone could give me a summary of what's going on so I'd know how to plan my next dark plot.))

((And where are you all?))

Akio crossed to the middle of the platform. He was at a port, Port Royale they called. And his ship was coming in, both literally and figuratively. A swarthy, messy, drunken looking man stepped off of the ship. "Capt'n Jack Sparrow, at your service!" He beamed, as he did a, not quite steady, bow.

"I am Akio. You have a certain...trinket that I would be interested in. I've heard you have a compass that points always to the greatest desire of the one holding it. Is this correct?"

"Why yes, my compass. But I'm not sure I'm willing to give it up!" Jack replied.

"I don't ask that you give it up for nothing. But how about a trade? What will you take for it?"

"Hmm...well, there once came by my eyes a legendary blade. It would be a fitting weapon, and certainly worth my compass. If you can find this, what was it called, Keyblade? If you can find it, you'll have my compass."

"Here." Akio said, making the Kingdom Key appear and holding it out to Jack.

Jack reached for it, but Akio pulled back, "Compass first." Akio said.

"You know me too well." Jack replied. He handed Akio the compass, and Akio handed him the Kingdom Key.

"Enjoy." Akio said.

Jack got back on his ship, and sailed away. As soon as the ship was out of sight, Akio summoned the Keyblade back to his hand, "And that's the way a pirate trades."
