8 HOURS REMAINING

Rotti and North reach the shacks and start to look for clues on Enya and Jason’s whereabouts. Rotti looked up ahead and managed to see a shack that was left open and led North that direction. The two decided that Rotti will go to take a look while North kept an eye out for enemies or their friends. 

As Rotti went in, he saw the messy room and started to look around, finding a book that talked about ‘Blue Fire’ from his daughter called Aithnevb and how he was going to return to them no matter what. Rotti also found a broken picture frame of a man with a son and daughter. Rotti saw that the younger boy was Jason. Before he could investigate more, he started to hear footsteps come down the stairs and quickly hid in the closet as he watched a skeleton figure enter the room. The skeleton figure starts to grab some of the scattered notes around room when he suddenly hears a noise from outside, as he approached, the skeleton man is suddenly knocked out by North falling down the stairs (Failed Stealth) and landing on him. 

Rotti comes out of his hiding spot and shares with North what he had found so far. The two continue to look around when they find the blue crystal they were looking for, but in pieces. They find a note saying that the mage living here only need five pieces of the crystal for his portal.

As the skeleton mage regain consciousness, North asked him why he was in this house and asked if anyone else came by. The Skeleton explained that he was Tom’s neighbour and that their friends headed to the foggy outskirts in a attempt to find Tom, the mage that lives here. North and Rotti gather the things they had found and head to the foggy outskirts with Falcon by their side.

7 HOURS REMAINING

With two groups in the fog, they push to get through the fog as quick as they could.

Jason, Enya, Blink and Ralph managed to avoid some Nightmare dream eaters and more Bashees thanks to Ralph’s knowledge of avoiding trouble. Enya asked Ralph how he died and just says, ‘It was an accident.’ They also try to snap Jason out of the depression that he had sunk to due to giving to the dark.

Rotti and North come across some images in the clouds showing Moogles struggling, making Rotti explain to North the situation that the moogles in his home are facing with the Corruption, both physically and in business. North promises that she will help him in helping the moogles, though the thoughts stayed in Rotti’s mind.

Rotti and North manage to find a clearing in the fog, allowing North to sent Falcon to look for Enya and Jason. As she sends Falcon, North expresses that they have to find Jason before something happens to him. 

As Jason, Enya, Ralph and Blink find a old camp as they managed to come out of the fog. They start to see Falcon fly in the air as the bird spots them. The group decide whether to go before North catches up but decides to wait as they do not know what till be ahead.

6 HOURS REMAINING

After ten minutes, North and Rotti joins the group. North marches up to Jason and slaps him across the face, telling him not to keep going off on his own and let his friends help him out, telling him that he doesn’t have to deal with the darkness alone. Jason apologies, not meaning to hurt North by his actions. The group decides to take a short rest, making sure to be ready for what might be ahead.

Ralph decides to look out for any trouble while the others rest.

Jason takes this time to meditate, allowing his mind to get back into focus, remembering his Masters words. He does notice that despite his darkness outburst, the dark markings on his arms looks lower down his arm than he remembers.

 Enya asked Rotti and North if they found anything in the wrecked house, the two of them talked about the person that lived there being linked to Aithne and Jason, showing the picture that they had found. When looking at the picture, Rotti noticed the shocked expression on Enya’s face.

While the others were looking at the picture, Blink managed to sneak into North’s bag and pull out the leather bag that held the crystal shards, Enya questions this but North explains that the crystal is not complete and they need the five shards that Tom has in order to use the crystal. 

North quickly checks on Jason while Rotti, who has convinced himself that Enya is Aithne, is trying to get her to admit it. While trying to do this though, the conversation turns back to Rotti’s family and the struggles the moogles are having back on Radiant Garden. Enya notices as Rotti keeps talking about his family, falling into his despair, the corrupted markings on his body began to increase. She tries to calm him down as Rotti starts to see a messy enstranged moogle behind Enya.

Jason, who has finished his meditation and regained his focus, sees Rotti’s state and aids in calming him down. The group promises to help with the moogle situation when they can but they all have to focus on getting back to the realm of the living by sunrise.

Before the short rest finishes, North goes over to Enya and entrusts her with the bag of Crystal shards to restore good faith, explaining that she felt bad with what happened with Aithne when she was travelling with them and wanted to make sure that she didn’t give the vibe of mis-trust and felt ashamed that she didn’t do anything to stop her leaving.

With the hour up, they move on.

5 HOURS REMAINING 

Batty, who had been spending the last two hours with Veronica, his mother, starts to feel bad that he isn’t helping the group that much in returning home. After assuring his mother that he enjoys being on the adventure that he is on, he heads out to find West, hoping that he could tell him where the others might have gone.

Veronica soon caught up with Batty and told him that she will help him find who he was looking for. Before Batty could protest, his mother played the ‘mother card’ and was coming along no matter what.

The two of them started to reach the square to see a bunch of Nightmares surrounding the Family Reunion Building with West trying to shot down the group of Nightmares. Batty decides to run straight in, getting the enemies attention. Despite Batty and his mother using their musical talents to getting enemies to attack each other and distract them, the Nightmares soon surrounded the two bards, with each of them losing health as each attack was made.

Batty decided to try the ability from his newly orange corrupted claw a go and clicked his fingers, freezing time for five minutes. He quickly took this time to carry his mother (who was frozen in time) down an alleyway, throw a robe up to a window and managed to wall jump up to a window and used their robe to pull their mother into the window. When time returned to normal, Batty assured his mother that they were out of trouble, seeing her confusion and headed to West’s side, allowing him to take out the Nightmares without worrying about hitting them.

Back with the others, they continued their way through the outskirts when they came across Ernesto De La Cruz along with another skeleton, who seems to be trying to get a machine working. The machine was circular and had five small pillars connected to it that seemed to contain the five missing crystal shards. 

The group sneaked closer to the town, allowing them to hear some of Ernesto’s motivations. He explains to the other skeleton that the Riveras Family took his dream away and he was going to do whatever it takes to get what belongs to him. He says that the first thing he will do once he is alive again is to send Miguel straight to the Land of the Dead.

The group try to sneak closer but North manages to catch her foot on something, making Ernesto notice them all but Rotti. He tells his companion to finish the machine while he deals with those that want to get in the way. He smirks before whistling for his alebrije. They watched as a Nightmare Chimera appeared before then with Ernesto De La Cruz ready to support its spirit guide.

The group mainly dealt with the Chimera as Rotti managed to get a sneaky strike Ernesto, knock him out and tie him up without the Chimera noticing. Rotti had gone over to the other skeleton to see that he had a unquie scarring over his eyes, making him blind but still able to be a handy mage. Realising that this was Tom, the skeleton that Jason and Enya was looking for, Rotti tries to tell him that his children are here to help and that he should side with them but his words just trouble to skeleton as he explains that getting the machine to work is the only way to return to his kids and if they were here then he was too late.

As the group fought the Chimera, Jason and North hit by a fire breath, the pain making Jason fall unconscious and Enya tried to shield from the multi-attack but got knocked to the group. Despite that, North manages to shoot one of the heads of the Chimera as Blink and Ralph supply support and together they took care of the Spirit.

Ernesto manages to gain consciousness and escape his binds, seeing that his spirit was no more. He insists Tom to join the battle as the mage is seem readily a Fireball spell. As Ernesto goes to cast his spell through, he finds Tom switch gear as he counter-spell Ernesto’s moves, allowing Rotti to knock him out again.

North and Rotti take a moment to take a look at Enya, who’s hood came off as she was knocked unconscious, seeing burn scars on one side of her body with short hair to boot. The two of them go to Jason’s aid as Ralph comes over to give his last potion to Enya.

Enya wakes up, seeing that the battle is over. She takes this chance to go over to Tom, asking if he is the man that she was meant to find. When the skeleton mage questions this, she explains that she doesn’t have any memories. Tom asks to feel her face, due to his sight. At first, he is not sure, due to the scars, but smiled before clearing her mind slightly.

Enya, for a moment, envisions herself as a child. She is seen looking up at a heart shaped moon in the sky along with her brother, one with black hair and blue eyes. Her father calls them.....Aithne and Jason. 

Enya comes back too, confused, having so many questions. Before they could get answered though, Tom starts to ask if Jason is here.

Jason comes too, seeing that his darkness markings have decrease once more. He sees Enya talking to his father and he goes over to join them. North takes this time to summon Falcon from his hiding spot and send him back to town to gather the other family members for them to return to the Realm of The Living. 

Rotti collects the crystal shards and goes to listen to the group but North encourages him to give them their space. Rotti, Ralph and North let Jason, Enya and Tom take the lead while they trailed behind with Blink taking the rear.

The group started to head back through the outskirts with Tom leading the way as he knew a way to avoid the monsters but meant it will take a couple of hours. The group agreed as it gave them at least a few hours with their family members before they had to go.

Tom explains first that they should thank their friend as if it wasn’t for Rotti’s persistence that you were here, he would have kept going with the machine or worse, fought them. He tells the both of them that a keyblader came to their town and had inquired about Aithne’s (Enya) Blue Fire ability, saying that it was a sign of darkness. After that visit, the town was in ruins the next day. He had died trying to protect Jason from falling into the darkness and apologies to Enya for not being there for her that day.

Enya asked if their mother was here but Tom explained that she is in another world that is linked to the realm of the dead. He explains that like the realm of light, the realm of dead have been split to separate worlds, each with their own different links to the realm of the light.

Jason took everything in, still getting over that Aithne is Enya and that she was his sister. He asked more about the keybearer. Tom explained that he didn’t seem part of the keybearer guild in Twilight Town, he was middle aged with short blue hair and talked about the light alot. He showed a huge support for keybearers, much to Enya’s dismay.

A FEW HOURS LATER

The group make it back to the main square to see that Falcon had managed to gather everyone they needed to return home. This included West, Agatha and Veronica with Batty.

Ralph realized how much his brother had grown since he had past and had hugged him and his mother.

West told North that he was proud of her from what he had seen, happy to see Falcon returned to him. North hugs him. 

Rotti is slightly saddened when Agatha forgets him for a moment but when he talks about the moogles struggling under others, she suggests that the moogles work best together and if he wanted moogles to take charge again, they all need to work together, someone to lead the way.

30 MINUTES REMAINING 

With time catching up with them, each of the family members give their blessings with their conditions.

Veronica and Ralph first ask for Batty to go see his father at least once, after a quick debate in how Batty flat out refused to go see his father, he was given no condition and returned.

West gave his blessing with the condition that North always follows her heart and to do what she thinks is right. She agrees and returns, saying to Jason that she will see him on the other side.

Agatha takes a moment but gives her blessing to Rotti with the condition that he will find a way to help the moogle kind out of the franchise life. He accepts and returns.

West, Agatha, Veronica and Ralph head to the family reunion building and tells Tom too join them once he finishes giving his blessing to his children.

Tom gives a necklace to both Jason and Enya, one that prevents people from srying on them and explains if they were to visit any of the other worlds with a link to the realm of the dead then they will speak again.

Tom turns to Enya first and gives her his blessing to return so long as she life to its full potential and that she lives it happily. Enya is unsure at first but agree on the terms. She looks at Jason, knowing that they will be having a long chat when they are both in the realm of the living before she takes the leaf and returns.

Tom turns to his son, hold another leaf and gives his son his blessing. He was caught mid sentence as he saw a knife in Tom’s chest. Jason could only watch in shock and horror as he watched his father fall to the ground and disappear with the wounded Ernesto laughing, saying that we will do ANYTHING to make his dreams come true.

Jason falls into his rage, summoning his two keyblades and attacks Ernesto, sending the washed up bard into a metal bell, watching the skeleton disappear on impact. He looked at himself as he questioned why he didn’t fall into his anti-form only to see the sun rise.

...........

..........

............

He had run out of time.

10 HOURS REMAINING

Enya and Batty finish up their short rest to see that Jason had snuck off again, seeing a blood soaked bandage saying that he has gone to find his father. The two of them decided to leave him be and focus on finding their ancestors with Batty going North and Enya going East.

Enya comes across the outskirts of the city to reach the shacks. She saw a skeleton bat and asked him for directions to a mage in the area. After some discussions, she found out the Skeleton Bat was called Ralph and explained that he was Batty’s brother. Ralph offers to show where the mage ‘Thomas’ lives if Enya can re-introduce him to his younger brother. Unsure at first but agrees to the terms, knowing that they have a time limit.

Ralph quickly takes her to the shake and waits outside while Enya goes in to investigate, seeing that no one was in the home. She founds notes on the wall talking about a path to the light and a journal that spoke about meeting up with Ernesto de la Cruz, disagreeing with the musician’s ambitions.

Enya goes outside to see the neighbour questioning what the two of them was doing in Thomas’ house and comments that he seems popular lately, telling the two of them that a young man with black hair came past not to long ago. The Neighbour explains that Thomas had gone with Ernesto past the outskirts of the town, where Ernesto had be spotted going from time to time. Ralph freaks a little as he explains about the unsettled souls trapped in the outskirts can be dangerous, making the neighbour realise that he never told Jason about the danger.

Enya asks Ralph if he still wants to stick around with the danger ahead, Ralph has a think before saying that he couldn’t help it if Enya and Jason got hurt and any friend of Batty’s is a friend of his. The two headed out in the outskirts together, hoping to catch up to Jason.

At the same time, Rotti and North went into the cake store known as Agatha’s cakes to see an old skeleton form moogle, sitting on the counter eating cake. It takes a while for Rotti to explain to Agatha that Rotti is related to her due to him calling her his grandmother when Agatha was his great-great-great grandmother, confusing the lady.

Rotti asked a few questions about their family business, the corruption, the crystal and why the nightmares were trying to come into the shop. Agatha says that she doesn’t know of the corruption and that she will never sell her business. She doesn’t know much about the crystal but explains that the nightmares were after her sack of energy orbs and she shows them this dark orange, rock like orbs. North tells Rotti that is what they need to fuel the gummi ship. Rotti tries to ask for the energy orbs and ask for her blessing while North keeps a look out.

Batty, who was following Falcon, reaches the markeplace but chooses to continue heading north, allowing Falcon to return to Rotti and North. 

North tells Rotti that they have to go, Rotti managed to get some energy orbs before getting kicked out the shop, enough for a day and a half travel. North informs Batty that she just saw Batty walk by and the two of them try to catch up.

Batty starts to walk through a heavy crowd, all that are surrounding a stage as they celebrate the Day of the Dead. As he pushes through the crowd, he starts to feel a tight pain where his infection is. Eventually as the pain worsens, Batty notices that the crowd suddenly freezes and that he is able to push through with no trouble at all. As he gets closer to the stage, he sees the ghost child that has been bothering him once more.

Batty gets to the stage and jumps on it as he approaches the ghost. He complains, saying that he just wants to see his mother and get out of this place and not deal with freaky stuff like this. The ghost child asked if Batty would be interested in a deal and asked him ‘yes’ or ‘no’, without telling him the deal. Batty, frustrated, said yes and took the ghost’s hand.

With a sharp pain, Batty feels the increase infection move to focus more on his right hand, turning into a orange claw. The ghost smirks explaining that so long as he spreads joy, he will be able to stop time, just like this.  

Rotti and North managed to reach the crowd, seeing that that crowd was frozen in place. The ghost disappears on Batty, allowing Batty to leave the area. As soon as Batty gets out of the crowd, the crowd starts moving again, leaving North, Rotti and Falcon overcome by it for the time being. 

Rotti takes to the sky and sees Batty leaving the crowded area, allowing Rotti to lead North straight to him. When Rotti and North reach Batty, they looked a little concerned that Batty’s infected seemed to have moved to his right hand and has formed a claw. North seems a little more concerned about Enya and Jason as they were no longer with Batty.

Batty explained that Enya and Jason went to deal with their crap and was about to go find his ma. He did object about Rotti and North tagging along but after the two promised that they will allow Batty some privacy when he sees his mother, the three travel together with Falcon by their side.

9 HOURS REMAINING 

Jason starts to push through the think fog as he travels through the outskirts. As he pushes through, he starts to hear a groan within the fog. Jason being Jason, decides to rush towards the noise only to be caught in the cold grasp of a Nightmare Banshee. Jason managed to get out of its grip and pushed it back as much as he could but with his previous injuries, the Banshee managed to knock Jason out cold with a deathly wail.

While unconscious, Jason felt the presence of her darkness around him. His darkness offered to aid Jason if Jason ‘lets him have a little fun’. Jason refuses at first but feeling himself dying, he agreed. With a shake of hands, the darkness took over.

Jason forced himself awake as his darkness completely taking over. Anti-Jason took its rage out on the Banshee, managing to rip the Nightmare to pieces, leaving nothing left. However, when Jason tried to will himself to continue through the outskirts, he felt the darkness in control as he felt himself turn back, ready to hunt.

Meanwhile on the otherside of the outskirts, Enya asks Ralph how he died with Ralph explaining that it was an accident and that he was shot. As Enya tried to find out the truth, Ralph was suddenly attacked to the group by a huge shadow humanoid (a.k.a Anti-Jason). 

Out of panic, Enya remembered that she can summon Blink and that he can only appear for so long. She calls out to him, allowing Blink to appear by her side in a very colourful form similar to the alebrije in this world.

Enya, Blink and Ralph try to push back the creature while seeing that it was fighting with itself. At the same time, Jason is trying to gain control back from his darken self. The situation gets tight as Jason is half frozen and charmed by Enya’s spells, Blink keeps missing his attacks and protecting Enya from attacks and Ralph having a brave moment to try and finish Anti-Jason off but his ‘weapon’ breaks while attacking. 

Jason manages to push the darkness away just before he could harm Ralph and falls unconscious once more, his darkness disappearing around him for the time being. While Jason is dying, Blink ends up climbing on Jason’s body and prepares to finish to job but Enya convinces the fox to not do it. Enya and Ralph rush over to Jason as he seemed to be stable and force a potion down him.

Jason wakes up in confusion as the last thing he remembered was hearing groaning in the fog. Enya and Ralph explain that Jason had turned into a shadow monster. Jason express sheer panic on his face and begs Enya to kill him. Enya refuses but tells him that she won’t hesitate if he attacks them again. Ralph reminds them that they should move on before more Banshee spots them.

Back in the colourful city, North, Rotti and Batty managed to locate where Batty’s mother lives and finds a colourful farmhouse. North tells Batty that they will stay here so Batty can have his privacy. Batty heads to the front door and knocks on the door ( unaware that Rotti decided to earsdrop ). A skeleton bat with long braided hair and a pocka dot dress answers the door. The woman confirms herself as Veronica but tells Batty that she only had one son but admits that her memory is a bit hazy. After Batty shows her the photo and message she had left to him and the ukulele that was hers, Veronica lets Batty in. As they eat, the two have a heart to heart, talking about relationships, Batty’s situation, what Frances had did to Ralph and Batty’s ambitions. Veronica tells Batty that she doesn’t understand why she would forget someone like Batty as she feels in her soul that he is telling the truth and asks for Batty to stay for a little longer. Batty agrees and asks North to come and collect him when everyone is gathering together.

11 HOURS REMAINING

After an hour talking to West, the group headed out of the building with Jason trying to stealth away when they saw a bunch of Nightmare Dreameaters (Mexican Skeletons) in front of the building. 

Jason used his Odin form to tank most of the attacks but had to avoid falling unconscious, Batty had falling unconscious twice but thanks to potions, brought him back, Enya nearly fell unconscious but used Shield to avoid a fatal blow, North done some damage but feel asleep halfway through and Rotti hide in the smae corner and shot Jason in the back.

After the fight and looting the bodies, Jason, Batty and Enya decide to take a short rest while Rotti and North try to go find Rotti’s family member. North gives Falcon to Jason and tells him to get Falcon to find him once they have finished the short rest.

Rotti and North chat while they head to the marketplace when they see a few moogles (skeleton form) fleeing from the marketplace. They looked around the corner to see three Yoggy Rams trying to ram their way into a cake store.

Rotti and North manage to stealthily deal with the nightmares with mild damages to their surroundings with North swooping in to take down the last ram while Rotti was prone. The two dusted themselves off and headed into the cake shop, wondering what the Nightmares were after.

THE NEXT BIT IS FOR JASON AND READERS ONLY. OTHER PLAYERS STAY AWAY.

The group start to head to the square, discussing what they could do when they notice Batty in a mind of his own. Rotti tries to snap him out of it, only for Batty to freak and bites Rotti’s pom pom. Leading Eden to try and break it up while Jason watches with amusement.

Enya and Blink walk back over to them to see the mayhem happening as Eden frees Rotti from Batty and calm the both of them down.

Enya tries to suggest to Batty that they should go shopping on their own but Eden and Jason mention that they need to get some items too. The group decide to navigation to some of the local stores. While walking to the shops, Jason and Eden debates moogle culture as they couldn’t tell if Rotti was lying about it or not.

Batty (who disguise himself as David Bowie) decides to head to the music store, to get some more picks and to repair his ukulele, in return, he helped round the store and learnt about the music completion during the Day of the Dead. 

Jason and Enya decide to look for some new cloaks and see if there is any armour while Eden and Rotti ( who is disguised as a dog for a hour) head to the item shop to get some extra potions.

During their shopping, Blink starts to cause havoc due to Enya’s poor animal handling check. Blink proceeds to soak all the clothes in the clothes shop, try to destroy some of the potions and attempt to destroy some instruments before getting bored and going back to Enya. While shopping, Eden had asked Rotti what he thoughts on Enya but they halted their conversations when they saw Blink with them.

When heading back to the square to get some food, Enya accuses the group of not trusting her after Rotti mentions that they had a ship and the group failed to convince her that he meant a boat. She asks to ‘trade information’ with Eden. Eden asks the others to find a table while Eden and Enya talk. 

Enya asked three questions at once. Asking what she was looking, what they are travelling around worlds for and a follow up question. Eden explains that they are looking for a cure to help their friends in the Land of the Dead and are looking for a missing one. Eden asked Enya why she chooses to hide behind a hood. Enya nervously removed her hood to show her short hair and burned face. 

Eden looked into Enya’s scarred eyes, recognizing something in them. She hold her tongue slightly and asked if Enya will betray them. Enya explained that eyes and ears are everywhere but seeing Eden’s reaction, tells her that once they are in private. she can explain more. When Eden asks about Blink, Enya says that Blink is just a companion. As Enya puts her hood back up, Eden quickly asks if Enya is okay, slightly concerned. Enya smiles, “You own me a question.” before confirming she is fine and goes back to the group.

While waiting for Eden and Enya, Jason quickly looks over Blink and sees that Blink looks similar to a dream eater but doesn’t have the spirit symbol.

When Eden and Enya return, Eden simply says that Enya is good before pulling her gummi ship out as the others enjoy their meal.

Meanwhile on the gummi ship, Levi was thinking about his patrol with Kairi when North slams an Armour on the table and asks for help. While Levi helps North with her armour, Blank walks by, talking on the gummi phone as he heads to the cockpit. Levi decides to listen in on Blank and hear Blank to Kairi about a ‘new keybearer’ and ‘he misses her too’.

When the call ended, Levi came into the navigation and started to plan the next route with Blank. Blank mentioned that they will need to get some fuel if they wanted to go to Transverse Town, which will use all of the remaining fuel. While scanning The Land of the Dead for fuel, Levi’s phone goes off, he answered it and hears Eden ask if anyone remembers any of their family members.

While Blank and Levi cannot think of anyone, they ask North if she knew anyone, not clocking on to the fact that she is now soaking wet. North explained that she was always made to remember her decedent. Seeing an opportunity, Levi went on the console and swapped out Eden for North. When Eden appeared on the gummi ship, she pointed out that North had flooded the bridge with her water armour.

With North in the group, the time came for the group to meet up with Miguel. While heading to the graveyard where the festival of the Dead was being held, Miguel explains how the The Land of The Dead works.

Miguel explains….In order to get to the Land of the Dead, you have to steal or break something that belongs to the dead and the only way you can return is to find a family member and for them to give their blessings with or without the conditions. When asked if the group could return under one blessing, Miguel explained that he wasn’t sure. Miguel also explains that they have to make sure that they are back by dawn (12 hours) or they will remain dead and cannot return. 

The group discuss if they knew a family member that was dead with Rotti being unsure before Miguel took them to the gravesite of Ernesto de la Cruz. Miguel warn them to look out for Ernesto as he has a grudge for his family for revealing what he had done to get famous. Miguel point to some vases in the room where Ernesto’s grave is. He tells the group to smash the pots to get to The Land of The Dead. The group break the posts and find themselves glowing slightly and suddenly can see lots of skeletons in the graveyard.

Jason noticed that Blink was no longer with them but the group found site of an amber leafed bridge and found themselves in The Land of the Dead.

12 HOURS REMAINING 

The group headed to the border control officer when they reached the end of the gate. The officer, seeing that they were living, took them to the Dept. of Family Reunions to see the Constable that now deals with people from the Realm of the Living.

They meet an cowboy like skeleton that introduces themselves as West. Before the group had a chance, North introduced herself to him and summoned her Keyblade. West saw the Keyblade, smiled and realized that North was his flesh and blood. After a quick reunion, North explain their situation of looking for a light blue crystal while asking if it was possible for all of them to return back to the realm of the living under one blessing. West tried to blessing out, stating that he wished for North’s companions and return with her so long as they did not destroy and pottery, only to see North go.

After North appears again from walking in a pot in the realm of the living, West starts the ask the group their names and any details about their family that they know of. While Enya gave West details in private, West gave each of the group a clue as to where to find their family members. He explained that the best place to find the crystal was in the outskirts of the town before he summons a Halbird, a spirit dreameater called Falcon. West explains that the spirits here, also called Alebrijes on this world, guide their respected family and tells North that Falcon will aid them while they are here.

The following section is for Batty and readers only. Other players should not look.

Two hours after leaving Radiant Garden, Blank shares his concern for Kairi and the others, questioning if he should have come. The others assure him that everything is okay.

Jason notices that his gummiphone starts ringing. When he answers it, the phone flashes a bright light and Chirithy appears.

Chirithy explains that the situation at Radiant Garden has calmed down. They explain that Leon had asked the guild for aid with a Nobodies situation that the RGRC was having but due to the Vanitas situtation, Leon never recieved the aid he needed and the Nobodies managed to burst into Radiant Garden. Kairi is currently doing damage control as the incident hasn't put the guild in a good light to the council and the Radiant Garden residence.

Rotti asks on any news on Webby as Huey, Dewey and Louie had gone to ask them for help. Chirithy explained the boys had come for their aid as Webby is currently ill in bed. When Ven went to check it out, he found corrupted markings on her back. They explained that they will keep an eye in the situtation, especially with Scrooge McDuck on their case about it.

Chirithy reminds the group to focus on the task given to them by the Masters. Chirithy does give a message to Blank from Kairi, saying 'No matter where they go, everyone hear is with them'.

Rotti mentions their food storage to Chirithy. Making the spirit bring them some food supplies before disappearing.

Blank, who has regained his focus, brings up the nagivation to show the options they have. He explains that due to distance are from the worlds, they only have basic for the time being.

A Festive World with a link to the Realm of the Dead.

A World Connect to the Woods

A Palace within the Desert

The group decide to go to the first world mentioned. Blank mentioned that it will take under two weeks to get there and suggests that if anyone wants to train, they can use the simulation built in the gummi ship.

Durring the travel time, the group use the time they had to do different tasks.

Batty- Hanged out with Levi, practiced his bard skills in the simulator and listened to some of the music available on the ship to gain some new magically abilities.

Jason- Talked with North in regards of upgrading his keyblade. Learned what materials were needed to make the new keyblade and syncing up with the new drive form that North had develop known as Odin Form.

Rotti- Chatted with Blank about whether they made the right choice in Radiant Garden and learnt how to do repairs in the gummi ship. He would spend most of the jounrey providing food to the group.

Arriving on the outskirts of the world, Blank gathers everyone to the bridge to explain how the gummi ship works. He explains that to help keep the world order, the gummi ship will need to be kept on the outskirts of the world and that someone needs to stay with the gummi ship since they do not have chipmucks to fly their ships. He also explains that in order to achieve their goals, at least three people will need to go down to the world.

Jason, Batty and Rotti voluteer to go. Eden manages to beat Levi in voluteering. The four of them gather their gear and head to the world while Blank, North and Levi stayed on the gummi ship.

Eden, Jason, Rotti and Batty enter the village of Santa Cecilia to see colourful decorations everywhere with autumn petals on the floor, stalls being set up and musicians playing in the square. The group do notice a fox when they enter the village but choose to ignore. 

While walking through the village, a few people look at Batty and Rotti strangely. Eden comments to Jason that they should be aware of the world’s order going toward. When a little girl comes over, she asked if she could hold Rotti, who looks like a soft teddy. Eden and Jason play along and the girl gets to hug Rotti before she goes on her way.

As the girl walks away, the group noticed a hooded figure at the entrance of the village with the same two tailed fox by their side. The figure looked a little panicked and lost.

Eden takes the lead and ask the stranger if they could help them as they were new in town. The group and The Stranger chatted between themselves, see that The Stranger was from another world. While Batty asked if the stranger had seen Aithne, Eden suggested that they come with them for the time being, introducing herself and the group.

The Stranger introduced themselves as Enya and their trusted two tailed fox called Blink. Blink showed off its name as it started to blink jump backwards and towards before warming up to Jason. With an alliance made during this time, the group ended to the square.

Batty ended straight to the fountains to watch the mariachi band play, excited to see and hear so much music and celebration. Blink ruins the fun a little by blinking into the fountain to soak the musicians. 

Rotti looks at the stall and sees another moogle setting up a stall.

The moogle introduce himself as Lom. He explains that he is a travelling merchant that goes from world to world selling and collecting goods.

Rotti starts to ask Lom about the crystal and if he is connected to the moogles back at Raidant Garden but tries to be evasive when Eden came over to the stall. Lom, confused by Rotti’s actions, continues to talk about the crystal to the world can only be found in the Land of The Dead. Lom suggests if they want to find out more about the Land of Thea Dead, they should look for a man called Miguel Rivera, as he tend to tell songs about the Land of The Dead.

Batty approach the soaked musicians with Enya and told them that their music was great, showing them his ukulele. They talk about music, eventually the musicians suggest Batty to go see Miguel as well.

The group gather up at the Rivera’s household to see a young man playing his guitar outside of his home. Eden halts as she listens to the tune that was being played and recognized the song as ‘Simple and Clean’. The group asked if they were Miguel and mentioned that they wanted to know more about the Land of The Dead.

Miguel was reluctant at first but when Eden asks about the song he was playing, he explained that he learnt a song from his friend Sora when he was in the Land of The Dead ten years ago.

Batty compliments Miguel on his music, playing a quick tune too. Miguel takes a closer look at Batty, he asks if he knew a man called ‘Francis’ When Batty confirms that is his father, Miguel explains that his father lives on the outskirts and likes to come down to enjoy the festival and music, which makes Batty freak out.

After coming Batty down, the group asked Miguel if he could help them get into the Land of The Dead after Rotti shows him his corrupted marking and that they are looking for a friend. After a few moments, Miguel agrees to help, telling the others to come back here when the sun starts the set and he goes back into the house.

Group decides to head back to the square for the meanwhile.

The next bit is for Enya only.

The group head back to the Wayfinder Guild where they find Levi waiting outside the guild. He explains that Ven and Kairi are contacting the other Masters about the situation and will call them inside in a few moments. 

The group talked among themselves when Chirithy open the door, telling the group to come inside. Blank goes to say goodbye but is told to come in too.

The group find themselves in front of Master Ventus and Master Kairi with a hologram image of Master Yen Sid. Master Yen Sid introduces himself to the group before the Masters began to talk.

Ven explains the situation with Aithne. How she has choose to go with Vantias and explains that Vantias is a dangerous, controller creature, someone that shouldn't be trusted.

Kairi asked Rotti what he knew about the Corrupted as Levi had mentioned it to her during their partol. Rotti explains members of his village suffering from the corruption and turning into monsters. They ask the group to continue finding more information about the Corrupted.

Due to Vanitas' comments in the cave, North questions what he meant. Kairi and Ven explain that when they had tried to revive Sora many years ago using the Princesses of Heart's powers, they found that they had started to revive keybladers from the age of fairytales.

Eden starts to get angry and both Ven and Kairi, realising that she's one of these keybearers that was revived, as well as feeling betrayed from Aithne's actions. At this point, Levi realises that this must be the case for himself and Shiva as he couldn't connect the dots between leaving home and being found in Cable Town.

Kairi explains that some of the keybearers that had got revived ended up coming back as Corrupted, tainted light from being pulled from death and explains that Ven and herself have been trying to create a remedy for this. Eden, at this point, heads to her room, too angry to listen.

Master Yen Sid continues that if the group was to go to other worlds, they need to gather light blue crystals found in each world. Finding enough of them should be able to aid Kairi in her research.

Kairi turns to Blank and asks him for his assistance in this, explaining that the group can use her gummi ship to go to different worlds. With a warm smile, Blank accepts.

OBJECTIVE: Find Aithne. Find the blue crystals in the worlds. Find out more about the Corrupted.

Ven heads out with Blank to aid in getting the gummi ship ready for the group. Jason quickly asks Master Yen Sid before he goes if anyone had survived from his village.

Master Yen Sid explains that from the village of Dawn, there was one survivor. When Batty asked if he can sense where Aithne was, he explains that he sensed her briefly in the Realm of Darkness, though not 100%.

With the meeting over, the group decide to head to bed to prepare for the next day.

During the night, Levi finds himself woken up by Eden searching through his room. Seeing Levi, she asks him for his star shard, only to tell her that he had given it back to Ven already. She goes to say that she will go search his room when Levi asks her what's wrong.

Eden expresses her betrayed from not being told the truth about where the two of them came from and confused about the two of them. She explains that since healing up from her 'death', she keep having dreams of the two of them fighting, disagreeing, travelling together but realises that they were memories for her past life.

Levi tells her that they should look at this as a second chance since they have been revived and that she should stay with the group. Eden points out that she died for someone in his group, only for them to go to enemy. She asks hom how well does she know Rotti and Batty. She goes to say she only trust him. Levi explains that they will only find the truth if they all stick together. After some convincing, Eden agreed to stay with them.

The next morning, the group are woken by banging on the guild door. Kairi, who had stayed the night, answered the door to find Huey, Dewey amd Louie. The triples ask for their help, mainly Jason's and Rotti's, as something is wrong with Webby.

Before they could find out more, explosions started to appear in Radiant Garden, as well as a sight of a Twilight Thorn. Ven told Huey, Dewey and Louie to wait at the guild while they deal with the Nobodies.

When they enter Radiant Garden, they see the mage guards trying to keep the citizens safe from dusks. The Twilight Thorn throws one of the gummi ships towards the group, seperating Kairi, Ven and North from Levi, Eden, Jason, Rotti and Batty. Ven tells them to continue o while they go the long way.

As the team try to figure out a way to get to the town square as debris blocked their main route. Rotti flies up to get a good view point, only for some dusks to notice him and slam him down back to the group.

The others run after Rotti and begin to fight a collection of dusks. During the fight, the Twlight Thorn manages to grab Eden and Batty and drag them away from the others.

Levi, Jason and Rotti manage to deal with the Dusks, making good use of their class abilities. They find a path that lead them to the town sqaure. They see Blank managing to free Eden from TT's grip while Batty still remained trapped.

With Jason using his Anti Form, Levi using divine smite and Eden using her fire wall to trap the Twilight Thorn, they managed to defeat it with ease.

Jason loses himself to his darkness but Batty acts quickly and manages to Charm Jason. He tells him to calm down, allowing Jason to come out of his Anti Form before taking a moment to make Jason act silly until Jason snapped out of the charm.

Blank points out to the others that more Twilight Thorns have started to appear. He urges them to rush to the gummi ship. They hear a shout and see North running to them with the Dusks behind them. North turns to face them, turns her keyblade into her gun form and blasts them away before joining the others. North told them that Kairi and Ven wants them to go. The group doesn't hesitate. Blank and North gets the gummi ship up and running and everyone gets ready for a rocky ride.

Blank manages to take off before the Twlight Thorns notices (Nat 20). Batty notices from the view window that the Prima Vista took off as well, leaving the world.

Warning!!!

For my current DnD players, until you find out more details in-game. Please do not read this. This is for those that following the campaign through this blog and for the player of Aithne.

Rotti and Levi reach Aerith’s garden. Levi reports in on his rounds. Aerith asks if he had seen Aithne. Levi replies that he hasn’t since this morning. Aerith hopes that she is okay before introducing herself to Rotti. Rotti tried to charm Aerith and talked a little about his home, The Veil of Dreams. Eventually Levi pulled Rotti away so they could get to Kairi’s Cottage. 

Rotti mentions to Levi that he knows something about the corrupted, Levi insists for him to wait until they get to speak to Kairi to tell her about the corrupted.

The two of them get to Kairi’s Cottage to Eden open the door. Eden explains that Kairi had to go on patrol since Ven went to help Jason and has sent Blank to keep an eye on Eden while she rests. Levi asks Rotti to keep an eye on Eden while he goes to help Kairi with the patrol. 

Rotti decides to make Eden some soup and insists in her resting before Blank appears and helps out. 

As Eden is resting, Rotti and Blank start to talk about themselves, leading to Blank saying that he wouldn’t mind seeing other worlds. Rotti asks him what stops him from going and Blank admits that he feels bad leaving Cid and Kairi behind to deal with their troubles while he goes exploring. Rotti mentions he would properly help Kairi out more if he was adventuring with them in finding out more about the corrupted, making Blank think about his options.

Meanwhile, Ven, Jason, North and Batty take a moment to deal with their grief and regrets that lead to Aithne trusting Vanitas over them. After a couple of mintues, Ven suggest that they head back to the guild and gather everyone to tell them about what had happened, before leaving the cave, Jason manages to find a card that says, ‘The Cavern.’

They make their way back to Radiant Garden and Ven tells Jason, North and Batty to get Eden from Kairi’s cottage. He quickly calls Levi to ask him and Kairi to return to the guild and then told Jason to bring Blank and Rotti back with them as they were currently looking after Eden.

Vanitas tells Jason to leave this place, summoning flood around them as a warning. After seeing the symbol of Land of Departure on Jason’s clothes, Vanitas realizes that Jason is one of Terra’s students and begins to mock him. Jason managed to talk his way out of the situation and hid two of the keyblades he had picked up before leaving the cave. He turned to find Vanitas had disappeared.

Jason climbed back up the cliff to call for back-up, knowing that Vanitas was someone very dangerous to have around. Before he could, he saw a shadow form of himself standing in front of him, questioning why he doesn’t just side with the darkness. Jason explains that a balance is needed for the worlds to survive. The Shadow form tells him that his view will change and goes.

Back in town, North and Batty reach the edge of the Bailey and Marketplace to find Rotti, who was currently upset at losing his job due his marks. Batty offered Rotti one of the cigs that he got from the potion man, when Rotti refused, Batty decided to use one himself, despite North’s objections. Batty starts to see multiple colours and starts acting high. North tries to control the situation, when she gets a message from Ven to meet up. She tells Rotti that the two of them were looking for Levi and asked him to keep an eye on Batty. 

In amount of a turn, Batty in his high state, decided to head back to castle town look for Aithne again while Rotti flew in the air and decided to go towards the bailey, allowing North to meet up with Ven.

While Rotti was in the air, he sees Levi finishing up his rounds for Aerith. He goes over to him, told him that the others were looking for him and asked him if he knew where Kairi was. Levi explains that he needs to report back to Aerith first. After finding a chest in the alleyway, the two headed back to the outer gardens.

Aithne finished her rounds for Aerith but had been feeling a sense of guilt throughout the day. She kept thinking about Eden falling in battle to protect her, as well as dealing with her dreams again. She ends up finding Marcus and they talk about the play that is on the next evening. Before they could talk more, Batty appeared high as a kite. Aithne started ‘crying’, then Batty started ‘crying’ and Marcus was left really concerned for Batty’s wellbeing and lifted him up to take him back to the theater group to heal his high. Upon seeing Ven and North head to the gates, Aithne and Batty managed to sneak and escape Marcus and trailed behind Ven and North.

Jason ends up heading back to Radiant Garden to meet up with Ven and North before heading back to the cave. He showed them the two keyblades he found and told them about his experience with Vanitas. When seeing Aithne and Batty appear, Ven asks them to stay, mainly due to the carelessness of yesterday. After some debates and persuasions, Ven agreed them to come.

When travelling back to the cave, the group managed to outrun some wolves and using Jason’s directions, make their way through the maw. During their travel, they noticed a few Flood watching them, mainly looking at Aithne. They reach the cliff side and Ven suggests that him and Batty goes to the cave to scout ahead while Jason, North and Aithne covers them in case it is a trap. While Ven and Batty investigated the now empty cave, Jason, North and Aithne watch a Flood appear in front of them. Aithne slowly and curiously approaches one  and watches it size her up before disappearing.

Batty finds a hidden switch which leads to a secret passage and calls the others down. Ven explains that if it gets too dangerous, they should flee, explaining that an encounter with Vanitas will be a dangerous one. As a group, they enter the passage.

The group work together to get through the secret passage, dealing with Unverse, dead ends, darkness pits and chandelier, even finding some loot, before finding Vanitas’ real hideout. The hideout included a board of Keyblade Masters and their students and their last know whereabouts, the include both the Guardians of Light group and the Foretellers group, a old man disguise, a spell for a portal and random notes on the table. Aithne grabbed some of the notes from the table while North started to read out a book containing Vanitas’ reports from over the years. Ven decides to take the book, explaining that they need to head back to the guild to research it’s contents. Aithne suggests that she keeps the book since the keybladers need to fight. Ven tells her that the book needs to stay in a keyblader weilders protection and after a debate between the five of them, Aithne is shut down with Batty being the only one to support her.

They find their way to the entrance but find themselves face to face with Vanitas. Vanitas tells Ven that he should put his belongings back or he will unleash his Unverse, telling him that it is not very good of him to be taking his stuff. As Ven tries to deal with Vanitas, Aithne steps forward, grabbing Vanitas’ attention. She demands to knows what he knows about her and some of the notes that she grabbed mention her. Vanitas tells her that she must be confused with her lost memories, he can show her the truth if she takes his hand. 

Ven tells Aithne not to trust him but Aithne jumps back at Ventus as he couldn’t trust her with protecting a book and despite Batty and Jason’s objections, Aithne takes Vanitas’ hand.

"We need to get out of here." Ven told them.

Levi looks over to Ven to see him shakened and frightened by the five Neo Shadows in front of them.

While Levi focused on getting Ven to snap out of his frightened state, Eden focused to protecting herself and Aithne.

Aithne gets caught off guard by one of the Neoshadows, knocking her unconscious. As a response, Eden created a walls of fire to create a barrier between them and the Heartless.

Ven makes sure that the party is blessed and is protected by magical shields or Sanctuary to keep the others safe and when he manages to deal with his fear, he aids in taking them out.

The sun starts to set and Levi spots an gummi ship heading in their direction. After seeing Chirithy suddenly appear and go, he tells Ven to get the gummi ships attention while finishing off the two Neo Shadows near him.

After a couple of rounds, Eden's fire barriers faded. Making Eden and Aithne open. Eden had grabbed Aithne and was prepared to move to Ven as she was low on health and Aithne was stable but still unconscious. She tried to finish one of the Neoshadow off with a ray of fire but the spell fades before reaching the Heartless.

The Neoshadow sped toward at the opening that Eden had created and slammed their claws into Eden's chest, making her drop Aithne.

Aithne wakes up to see Eden get struck with another claw and watches her lifeless body drop to the ground.

Levi sees his fellow student and friend and rushes over to her, only to feel her skin gone cold and a few light orbs start to come off her body.

Ven manages to finish off the Neoshadows but feels his heart stops when he sees Eden on the ground.

Levi controls his emotions but feels his surrounds blur around him as he held Eden. He started to feel something similar to this in the rain, fighting Eden back but the grief was the same.

....

.......

..........

His friend was dead.

Ven grabs Levi shoulder and tells them that they had to go, making Levi see the gummi ship with Blank and the dusk sky approaching. Ven takes Eden from Levi's hands and takes her to the gummi ship. Aithne tells Levi they need to go. Levi gets on the gummi ship without a word.

Kairi, Jason, North, Batty and Rotti reach the square to head out the high district exit when Kairi notices Blank's gummi ship returning. She rushes over to them to see if Blank could give them a lift, only to freeze when she sees Eden in Ven's arms.

Kairi grabs Eden from Ven’s arms and sets her to the ground. She pulls out one of the two Phoenix Downs in her possession and placed it on her while performing a revival spell. She muttered, “Please....Not again.”

There was a moment when the light orbs stop leaving Eden’s body and after a tense moment, breath returns to her, though she remains unconscious.

Thought relieved, Kairi turned grief and anger towards the group, demanding to know what happened. Ven explained the situation, telling her that he and Levi had spotted some Unverse and had told Levi to head back to the guild while he dealt with the issue, only to see that Levi had asked Eden and Aithne to join him and follow Ven. He mentions that he wouldn’t have be able to deal with the Neoshadows without their help.

Kairi counters that Eden wouldn’t have died in battle or have caused the Neoshadows to see them if it was just Ven like he had instructed. Kairi then picks up Eden and asks Blank to assist her to take Eden back to hers.

Levi mutters a curse towards Kairi, making Kairi shot back round, reminding Levi that Eden wouldn’t have gone if it wasn’t for him and that it’s time for Levi to ‘Grow Up’. 

Ven takes the others back to the guild to see that the kitchen as smoky from Rotti’s cooking. He goes to clean up the rest while the others decide to rest. 

During the night, Levi is unable to sleep. He keeps seeing Eden dead in his arms, as well as seeing himself fighting Eden. He huffed and decided to message Shiva, to see how she was doing.

Shiva explains that Master Riku had come to Disney Castle to help her and Mickey look into the issue with the Corrupted that was stored in the mines. She is now travelling with Riku to see who the man in white was and if anyone else is linked to the Corrupted.

When Shiva questions Levi’s message in the middle of the night, knowing Levi to be a heavy sleeper, Levi brushes it off. He eventually chooses not to continue the conversation when Shiva asked about Eden. When going to sleep, Levi hears an angered voice seeking revenge on the Heartless.

The next morning, the group woke up to a different sight compared to the day before. No breakfast, no Eden. Aithne headed straight to Aerith’s to help out and Rotti headed to the marketplace. 

When Ven appeared, Jason demanded to know what happened and why he didn’t call for back-up. While feeling guilty, Ven explains that the situation, saying that there wasn’t time to pull out his gummi phone while focusing on protecting the others. He tells Jason to focus on aiding them like he was instructed by Terra before heading out to patrol the town.

Batty goes to wake up Levi, even managing to open the door with the jazz card he had picked up from the potion shop guy from before. He opens the door, only to see that Levi had sneaked out his bedroom using his bed sheets.

Batty, North and the distracted Jason decide to look for the missing Levi. As they decided looking, Jason, slightly irritated from not being able to help before, stealth away from the two of them and headed to the Great Maw.

Levi yawned as he headed to Aerith’s garden, knowing that she had requested to see him when he had returned. He reaches the Outer Gardens and come across Aerith. She welcomes him and explains the same job that she had told Aithne the day before. As she finishes explaining, Aithne shows up, surprised that Levi was here as well. Aerith gets the two of them to help with her flower runs.

Rotti heads back to Mar’s gadgets and reported on what he had learnt since the day before, including Eden’s death, Kairi’s work with Aerith to create more Phoenix downs his encounter with the Corrupted. Mar asked to see Rotti’s markings and told him that due to the markings, he will no longer be needed for his services. After having a dispute with Mar, Rotti throws the listening device back at Mar that he received before heading out, knowing that he is now considered as a ‘loose end’.

When looking around, Batty and North come across Aerith. They ask her if they have seen Levi. She explains that Levi and Aithne is helping her with her flower runs with Levi covering the Bailey while Aithne covered the castle town. They first headed to Castle Town, to see if they could find Aithne when they had encountered Marcus from the theatre group starting to put up posters up for the play. 

Marcus asks Batty if he will see him at the theatre in a bit but Batty mentions that he is looking for some friends. While talking about the show, North asks if there is any positions left in the play, making Batty freak out a bit. They leave Marcus to his task and Batty asks North not to get involved in the play, still feeling anxious about what he told them before. Seeing that they could not find Aithne, Batty and North head to the Bailey to continue to look for Levi.

While finishing his flower rounds, Levi stops at a old cottage. He finds Eden’s favorite flowers and cast Detect Good and Evil to see where Eden was in the cottage. As he activate this, he senses a huge amount of darkness coming from the higher window. 

Using some aerobatics, Levi gets into the room. He sees Kairi trying to calm Eden down from one of her episodes. He saw a Ifrit like shadow staring at him, knowing that this is the worst episode he has seen. He runs to Eden’s shadow form, hoping to snap her out of it. Kairi holds on to the both of them and uses her light to force Eden out of her form. While doing so, Levi noticed that they were in a place where Sky and Sea meet, he was back in the house before he could look around.

Levi looks back to Kairi and notices that she transfers some of her light into Eden, showing some darkness in her heart. Eden turns back into her normal self but falls back to sleep. Kairi leads Levi out of the room, saying that she needs some rest.

Levi looks around Kairi’s home to see not as much decorations as he imagined her home being but photos of worlds her and Ven had been too. He eventually comes across a photo of Kairi when she was younger on a beach with Sora and Riku. Kairi mentions that Levi reminds her of Sora sometimes and apologizes for her reaction from the day before, saying that she didn’t want to lose someone close to her again. She knowledges that the two of them disagree and that she can be strict with him but lets him know that she is always here for him, to aid, to talk, to help. Levi smiles and offers the same before leaving the flowers to Kairi to give to Eden when she wakes up. Levi makes a note once more of seeing darkness in Kairi’s ‘Pure’ heart.

Batty finishes up his meal and starts to see the sun starting the set. Baku informs him that he needs to be here for rehearsal in the morning and that the show will start from two nights from now. (The day after tomorrow). Before leaving, Batty managed to hide himself to overheard Zidane, Theatre Blank and Marcus talk about their roles during the play, mentioning using the play as a distraction before heading off. 

As Batty began to head back to the guild when he comes across Jason, North and Rotti talking about thieves in the local area. Batty tells them that he hasn’t heard ‘nothin’ about them thieves’, but Jason sees through the lie and demands Batty to tell the truth. 

Batty starts to tell them what he heard but North suggests for them to move slightly more away from the Prima Vista before they continue the conversation. As they walk away, Batty check to see if any one is following and manages to hear movement similar to the creatures they fought the day before.

Batty tells them to follow him and he follows the noise, only to find a lone chest. They open it to find 300 munny, 5 lightning shards, 3 blazing shards and a power gem. North tells them to keep looking for items like that as they will aid in customizing their weapon she opens her shop.

The group past the gummi ship garage, to see Blank looking at the Sora statue while eating his dinner. Rotti makes a comment about how weird he finds his grudge against the missing Keyblade Master, despite Ven saying it was because Blank had a crush on Kairi. The group approached, with Blank not recognizing Rotti from yesterday, they asked Blank if he knew about any thief activity, his busy workload and his opinion on Sora. 

Showing a more serious side to him, Blank goes to call Sora hypocritical  for the actions in changing destiny despite telling Master Xehanort that he shouldn’t change people’s destinies. He carries on by saying that he mainly got by luck and the one time he was on his own, he had to be saved. His main says that it wasn’t fair that everyone praises Sora for his actions awhile not taking Kairi or Ven seriously, despite all that they do in this world and other worlds.

After giving some info about the thieve situation, telling them to see Leon in RGRC HQ, he goes back to work. 

With the sun set and nightfall approaching, North, Jason, Batty and Rotti make their way back to the Wayfinders Guild, only to see that it is locked up. Jason unlocks the door to see that no one was truly in.

While they wait for one of the Masters to come back, or for Ven to reply to Jason’s message on the gummi phone, Rotti managed to find Ven’s cooking equipment but managed to set the kitchen to a smoke bomb, Batty talked more about what he had heard from the theatre group and a little more about the ghost experience and his change of heart.

The group talk more about the infection that the Corrupted give, with Jason revealing his own infection marks and Rotti talking about other moogles suffering from the corruption, saying that it changes everything about you.

While talking, Kairi and Chirithy return to the guild, only to see a smoky kitchen and the four of them at the guild. When she asks when her fellow Masters and Students were, Jason explains that he hasn’t got a reply.

The group get introduced to Master Kairi, one of the founding Masters of the Wayfinders and one of the council members on the Radiant Garden council. She notices Rotti’s Corrupted Maskings and tried to use lessen restoration to get rid of the corruption but with no luck. Ventus assures her that she will figure out a way to the corrupted marks.

Mage guards appear and mock Kairi and Ven on how they dealt with the Darkside and explained how they wouldn’t have left destroyed buildings as part of the aftermath. The Masters deal with the situation calmly, making the guards go. 

Kairi says her farewell to the group as she heads back to the Castle to carry on her research while Ven gets ready to patrol the area where the darkside came from.

Levi- Goes with Ven   Aithne- Goes with Eden Jason- Heads to the Marketplace to find North Rotti- Follows Kairi Batty- Goes Back to the Prima Vista Airship

Aithne, Eden and Jason walk past the gummi garage in the square to find Blank asleep on the job. The group managed to scare Blank in his sleep, making him jump in fright and grab his sword with Blank and Aithne noticing his flashing red eyes doing the jump scare. Eden hands him a box of cupcakes that Kairi had made for him and the group talked shop before heading off,

Eden and Aithne head back to the guild and talk about control over spells and talking about magic in gerenal.

Jason finds North and check on Huey, Dewey, Louie & Webby. Webby looked a little rough but was happy that Jason wasn’t a bad guy after all. Dewey hands over 4000 munny to Jason.

DEWEY QUEST: COMPLETED 

Rotti tries to follow Kairi but gets spotted, he asks if he could come into the Castle with her and Chirithy but Kairi politely declines before heading into the Castle herself. Rotti tried to find an entrance in the castle but one of the guards, Dilan brings him back down with a wind spell. Rotti just says he wanted to help out, making Dilan tell him to look for some thieves near the gardens.

Batty heads back to the Prima Vista, where the theatre group are able to enjoy some hearty soap Cinna had made for them. Before sitting down, Batty pulled Zidane aside and said that he will not join in the ‘other’ job that Zidane mentioned but will not tell on them either.

Jason & North decide to look around the town for any more signs of Heartless or Nobodies when they see Rotti asking people about thieves. Remember that this is one of the jobs Ven had mentioned, the two go over to Rotti to help him out.

In the fields on the outskirts of Radiant Garden, Ven and Levi continue to look around on their patrol for more Heartless. They talk about Eden’s episodes, saying that they always calm down or lessen to an extent when Levi is around. They stop chatting as they notice something Heartless-like in the grass. 

They follow it for a little bit before Ven instructed Levi to go back to the guild while he dealt with this. Levi however, seeing that Ven was lying and was more serious looking than usual, messaged Eden to come aid in following Ven.

After a moment, Eden and Aithne joined up with Levi and the three of them tracked Levi through the tall grass. After 30 mins of walking, they see Ven finishing off the strange looking blue shadows.

Ven sighs, telling Levi that he wanted him to go back to the guild and start to walk the others back. Ven asks Aithne what she is looking for and she mentions her memory and dreams. The Master mentions a few people she could seek out for her memory and dreams. He tells her about Namine in Destiny Islands and the Fairy Godmother in Radiant Garden from time to time for dreams. He mentions that Master Riku can aid in dreams too but he hasn’t seen him in the last couple of years as he scouts around the worlds.

Jason, Rotti and Webby took a short rest after dealing with the Corrupted Bear attack. Jason grabs bandage dressing and wraps it around his Corrupted marks on his forearm. When Webby asks what that creature was, Rotti starts explaining what Corrupted are but Jason stops him as it goes against protecting the world’s order.

As soon as the short rest is done, North appears, explaining that an old moogle told her to come to the Great Maw and sees the wounds on Rotti. North says that they should head back to town but Jason suggests they look for the missing brothers that are out here. The group decide to look for Huey and Louie.

After a little bit of walking, the group find the boys looking down at the cliffside at a cave they had heard about. The two of them explained that they were trying to get to this place as they heard about a strange cave with a sign and wanted to stake it out for a while before they told Dewey, since he is the most likely one to go straight in. Louie tempts Rotti to go have a look but as Rotti was still weak from the fight before, the group head back to Raidant Garden with the boys.

At the theatre, Batty hangs out with Zidane, who goes through the swordman ship part with him (which Batty succeed in), help Zidane flirt with some girls with pick up lines and getting to know each other. Zidane, taking a liking to Batty, mentions that their is another job he might be interested in and takes him to Blank’s room, where Zidane goes to speak with.

While Batty is waiting for Zidane, the child that Batty had encountered before had appeared next to him again, telling him that his fake persona will not get him anywhere and that he has not been the same since the heart shaped moon appeared. Batty got so freaked out that he ran from the theatre, leaving before Zidane could tell him the job.

Deciding to go find Aithne, Batty heads around to the gardens and runs into Aerith. She explains that Aithne is with Eden and is dealing with the threat and tells Batty to follow her. Batty ends up following Aerith but losing her near the town square. 

Jason and Rotti return to Radiant Garden, allowing North to return the kids back home and to let Dewey know, while they catch up with Batty, who they saw running past. When they reach Batty, they see Ventus and Levi appear too, looking like they deal with some shadows.

Batty hugs Levi and tells him that he saw a ghost, making Ven look at the marks on Rotti. Ven suggests Batty and Rotti to stay back while Ven, Levi and Jason deal with the Heartless situation. The two decide to look for some potions for them to assist. 

They come across a back alley potion shop come across a hippy styled shopkeeper. He questioned if they were keyblade wielders or the guards before offering his JO special Potions as well as normal potions. Batty buys two normal potions and two cigs of JO special stash. Rotti challenges the shopkeeper to a game of ‘BlackJack’, if he wins, he gets the ‘two normal potions, two JO potions’ for free, if he loses, he pays double. After a couple of rounds, Rotti wins but the shopkeeper kicks them out but not before inviting Batty to a Jazz club.

Ven, Levi and Jason head to the high district when they encounter shadows pushing through the barrier. They take care of the Shadows and push through the barrier to fight a Darkside, which they find Eden and Aithne are dealing with. They managed to fight back the Darkside and Shadows and Jason dealt the final blow but not before seeing a ‘Holy’ attack strike the Darkside to send the Darkside into a building. 

The next morning, Aithne and Batty wake up to see Eden training in the main hall while Ventus and Chirithy prepare breakfast. Jason manages to catch Aithne and Batty off guard, Rotti joins them in the main hall. Batty tries to break into Levi’s room, as he is still asleep, but North encourages everyone to leave Levi alone, making everyone go back to the table where breakfast was served.

During food, Ven asks to see the corrupted markings on Batty and explains to them to come back to him if any of them start to experience out-of-character behavior, saying that there is a lot of things they still don’t understand about them.Jason was a little bit similar with The Corrupted.

The party mention that they need to get a gummi ship from Blank but need to get some munny in order to afford one (35′000 munny) to which Ven mentions some jobs that are in the area.

After some discussion, Aithne, Batty and Eden heads to the Gardens while Jason, Rotti and North heads to the marketplace. At the gardens, Batty leaves Eden and Aithne to go to the Theatre while North leaves Jason and Rotti to sort her shop out.

As Batty heads to the Theatre, he encounters a younger humanoid bat with a ukulele who says that he cannot find his parents, Batty helps as much as he can and even helps the kid play the ukulele before he continues his way but gets spooked when the kid asks ‘ If he feels good about killing his ma’ and seeing the kid disappear.

Batty reaches the theatre to see that the theatre is an airship and comes across Baku, the head of The Tantalus Theater Troupe. Baku asks Batty to perform and with great rolls, Batty was offered a role in their play and was introduced to the rest of the theatre troupe, Cinna, Blank, Marcus, Ruby and Zidane. As Batty gets shown around the airship, he hears off key ukulele notes again.

Eden leads Aithne to the Outer Gardens, mentioning that she has to do a patrol around the barrier but said that she was come back to get her as she needs to be with a keyblade wielder to get back into Radiant Garden since she is new to town.

Aithne reaches a field of flowers and meets Aerith, who offers her some tea and cookies as she explains the job. 

Aerith explains that in the last few years, with the help of Kairi, managed to develop a revival item know as Phoenix Down and is in need of some Phoenix feathers in exchange for munny. She mentioned that a phoenix was sighted near the town called Edge. When reaching Edge, head to the Seven Heaven and find Tifa for more info.

Aithne asks if she can learn some White magic from her in exchange for her helping in the gardens. Aerith go into more details with Aithne about taking care of flowers.

Rotti and Jason locate Dewey to enquirer about his missing brothers. Dewey explain that his brothers, Huey and Louie has been disappearing in the morning and they don’t appear again until late at night. When Dewey tries to question them, they said that they just went of a adventurer for Scrooge. 

Rotti tries to intimidate Dewey for more information but Dewey gets freaked out by the two, leaving Jason and Rotti with vague information to investigate with. They find themselves near one of Scrooge’s manor’s. Jason starts to investigate near the front gate to the grounds while Rotti goes straight to the gate buzzer, getting a response from Webby, one of Huey, Dewey and Louie’s friends, who joins them outside.    

She tells them that Huey and Louie have been going in the direction of the Great Maw and asks to come along to help find them. While Jason says it is too dangerous, Rotti gives her a ride as they head to the Great Maw.

When the three reach the Great Maw, they see a bright light but find that they were surprised by two bears that seemed to have been Corrupted in tainted light. After a struggling battle, where Rotti escaped death, they managed to defeat the Corrupted Bears, but not before gaining similar marks to what Batty had on his chest. As Rotti’s markings was alot worse than Jason’s, he heard an off key tone and a voice, who questioned his choices.

While Aithne and Aerith talked about different types of flowers, Eden returned, asking for Aithne’s help as she had spotted some Heartless near the high district entrance. Aerith heads back into Radiant Garden to inform Leon while Aithne follows Eden.

Levi, who has woken up at this point, heads to the main hall, to see Master Ventus dealing with another ‘Sora Imposter’, trying to get Kairi’s hand, which lead to Ven slamming the door on him. Ven asks to speak to Levi while they had lunch together. Ven goes on to say that Levi shouldn’t have left without permission but tells him that he was grateful that he did as he managed to aid in the Corrupted appearing and helped the King discover all the other Corrupted hidden away. He gives Levi permission to leave the world to aid finding out what the Corrupted are and to find cure for the infection that people get and promises to charge the start shard for him but still admits that he will be concerned for Levi no matter what and knows that keeping Levi locked up on this world will not solve anything.

Rotti went into Mar’s Gadgets to and chatted to Mar, an elderly, fluffy moogle who know his way round a gadget. Rotti handed him the ‘kupo coins’, which revealed to be a blue crystal and informed him of the things he had discovered. Mar had handed him his payment, a few items and advice before Rotti left the shop.

Questioning what Blank had said during his introduction, Rotti decided to eavesdrop on Blank and Cid while they were working on some gummi ships and tried to break into one of the rooms but sadly got spotted and ran before he got hit by a broom.

As he was heading back to the marketplace, he ran into Levi, Batty and Aithne, who had been joined by Eden, North and Jason. They explained that they decided to help North out first by helping her look for a empty shop for her purchase.

Rotti joins the group and they all head to the marketplace, getting some cupcakes from one of the bakers before coming across one of the empty shops for sale.

Before North could expect the building more, Jason managed to catch some Dusks passing by and grabbed North to go after them. Everyone started to follow but Eden told Aithne, Batty and Rotti to stay behind as this was a job for a keyblade wielder before joining Jason, North and Levi. The other three followed anyway.

When catching up to the Nobodies, Jason grinned as he used his ‘Anti Form’ to deal with the enemy. However, once they had dealt with the Nobodies, he had trouble reverting back and started to head to Aithne, ready to attack. 

Rotti managed to see some clothes hanging since they were in a residential area and shot the clothing line, making some clothing cover Jason and set his sights on Levi instead.

Levi blocked the attack from Jason long enough for Jason to get control of the darkness once more, his anger gone.

Eden challenged Jason, saying that someone with that amount of darkness doesn’t deserve a keyblade. North tried to explain the situation with Jason to diffuse the situation but Eden was halted a voice called out to her from the path.

Ventus, one of the Masters of the Wayfinders Guild, reminds Eden that she shouldn’t guard a welider just because of their use of the darkness. It is what they do with it and in Jason’s case, it is to protect the light.

Ven introduces himself to Levi’s new friends and invites them to come to the guild for dinner and to stay the night. During the journey back where Rotti asks Ven about the barrier that covers Radiant Garden, the Master suggests a race back to the guild to aid them getting through the rain.

Everyone took part and it was a close race between Jason and Levi but Jason won the race with Levi in second and Ven in third.

While Ven sorted curry for the group, everyone started to do their own activities, Levi and Jason complimented each others skills and promise each other to spar one day, Eden showed Aithne some books on fire spells but still kept her ground with how much she wanted to share, North started to show Rotti around the guild and talked about her and Jason’s home and Batty decided to see what Ven was doing and saw him singing (horribly) while cooking with Chirithy. Batty decided to play the song and convinced Ven to sing with him.

When Rotti asks about the heroes of light, North brings him back to the main hall, which allowed Ven to dish up the curry, and asked the others if they knew about the heroes of light. North, Eden and Ven give a general story on who Sora, Kairi and Riku were and about what Master Xehanort was going to do. They explained that they had managed to stop Xehanort but lost Sora as a result. Rotti had questioned about when Blank had a comment about Sora but Ven just said that Blank has a crush on Kairi.
