[Ultimecia]

Radiant Garden.

One of the most protected strongholds of the Light Warriors. If one was to take such place into the Darkness, it would affect the morals of the Light. Oh yes. And that was exactly what the Time Witch had in mind when she appeared in the middle of a twister filled with dark feathers, floating in the blue sky above the elegant white construction garden.
That peace and beauty almost made her shiver in disgust. Her yellow eyes scanned the area, looking for any other signs of life expect herself. It seems that it was a quiet day in such place.

“Such a shame to destroy this beautiful place.” Ultimecia said to herself, crossing her arms and tapping one of her purple talons against her right arm, flapping her black wings so that she could stay in midair. “I would enjoy changing the dekoration around here and make it a bit more suitable for one such as me.”

Then a grin in her red lips, as she landed in an elegant way in top of marble stairs. The Darkness needed to get a grip on a popular Light kingdom. And Radiant Garden was the perfect place to put her plans into motion.

[mysidia]

While traveling towards Disney Castle, the twins had taken a stop at Radiant Garden for a break. The two had went separate ways to take a look around town for the moment, or in better words: Palom had run off somewhere while Porom was trying to look for him as well as maybe others from her world if they had been there. Having felt some shiver as if something was happening, Porom was very sure she needed to find Palom before trouble began.

This world has really been turned upside-down with a Dark half and a Light half, Porom thought to herself, wondering if Palom had run off to the other side to find any nasties that might be fun for his ego. “Ohh.. He should have stayed with me when we arrived,” she said annoyed by the turn of events.

Having felt the strange surge in the air, she headed back in the hopes to find either Palom or that there was nothing wrong. As she started to head back, she noticed a twister in the air above the garden as if something was happening. The peace really ends abrupt like this, she thought bothered and then noticed Palom from the left rushing off towards the place the event was happening.

“Palom? Palom..! Wait...” She hurried after him and grabbed the back of his suit, pulling him back, “owh.. Why did you have to do that for?” “You shouldn't be running off,” “I was just going to look what that was over there,” “well, stay quiet as we look what it is before you run in and cause the town to be destroyed.” “I wouldn't do that,” “oh, shush!”

The two headed further together before seeing the strange woman just landing on the stairs ahead, “winged... Doesn't look like a vampire..” Palom started, Porom meanwhile held her staff close and whispered a few words to start Libra to check whether the woman was a problem or not. She felt a great Darkness of the lady, “I'll try and restrain her,” she moved away from Palom, “stay hidden.”

Coming more out, but staying out of Ultimecia's line of sight, she whispered more words before casting Hold to try and keep Ultimecia from moving. Three yellow rings started to appear around Ultimecia in the hopes to stop her from moving as the rings would prevent any movement inside.

What with the secret society she had been helping in her spare time, meetings with odd people, and secretive missions she had been taking part in to other worlds. Things the Restoration Committee knew nothing of. As she silently closed the doors behind her as she left their base of operations. She had to meet with the Queen soon, and keeping royalty waiting was not a very polite thing to do. Something... felt off about today.. Must have just been her imagination.. She shrugged it off as merely just that before a citizen darted by her, making haste to his own home for protection, only to stop before the pink clad girl. "OH! Miss. Aerith! Thanks goodness I found you!!" His speech was hurried and frantic as Aerith titled her head gently to the side. "Is something wrong?" She inquired back, trying to talk in as calm of a voice as she could, hoping it would at least help soothe the mans nerves. "There's a strange lady in the town! She looks like the devil! The man's speech retained it's rushed tone as he quickly darted off, fleeing for shelter. Aerith raised a finger to tap gently on her lip. Now, what one earth could have caused him to say such things? Was someone that evil looking really here? She figured it was at least worth her time to investigate. After all, it WAS her job to keep the town safe.. Cautiously the young Cetra ventured off in the direction the man had come, turning around a few corners before laying eyes on two familiar figures. Surely it couldn't have been them... She had briefly met the two in Atlantica and had even offered them a bit of help. But, they did seem preoccupied with something around the corner.. "Uhm, excuse me?" She chimed out lightly, attempting to get their attention as she walked closer towards them, getting within only a few steps. "Is everything alright?" [/style]

[Kadaj]

There wasn't just the one Darkness that was threatening to claim the world of Radiant Garden for their own. Though Ultimecia was the first to arrive in 'Garden', this world was very familiar to another dark-hearted warrior. On many occasions had he come to this world for both information gathering, as well as to have some fun by terrorizing the locals, spreading fear and chaos as well as making his presence known to some of the other stronger warriors that walked the worlds on their own missions and journeys. The Turks of Rufus ShinRa were the most common target of the Dark Warrior and it was in this world where he had most of his fun with them. Sadly, they were not around this time though whether or not they would show up at a later date was not to be known. One would have thought that they had learned their lesson and knew not to stick their noses into the business of the silver-haired Remnant. From his time on Gaia during the Geostigma Crisis, his power had grown substantially. His intelligence of his surrounding and about who he is had grown too, causing the young man to set out of his own destiny, no longer tied to the will of JENOVA or Sephiroth. No longer was he a puppet of their will, of their schemes. He was his own person now.

Being his own person and knowing his ability to wield his weapon as well as increasing his control over the Darkness within him, the young silver-haired warrior had grown quite the ego and attitude. Many of the stronger warriors of Light, Darkness and those of the 'neutral' alliance, had fallen to him in combat. Few bested his skill, though there was one out there, a young lad with spiky brunette hair who was known as 'The Key to Everything', who had managed to stop the Remnant in his tracks on more then one occasion. Most knew him as Sora, the Keyblade Master. The Leader of the Remnant's just saw him as a thorn in his side. A pest. A bug that needed to be squashed. In two of the silver-haired warriors attacks against the Light world of Disney Castle had Sora been there to fight against him and in both of those battles had Sora emerged the victor. Oddly though, the leather clad Remnant saw Sora not as a mortal enemy for not once in his time exploring the world of Kingdom Hearts did the Remnant get the urge to relentless seek Sora out in an attempt to end his life. No, Sora was just a nuisance who seemed to enjoy showing when the Remnant was least expecting it.

Truth be told, as Kadaj, Leader of the Remnants walked down a street of Radiant Garden, he pondered if he was going to meet the Key to Everything once more. He had received a tip that another Warrior of the Darkness was going to attack this world in an attempt to claim the core and convert it into Darkness. Memories of Neverland came flooding back to Kadaj as he recalled the time he met the famed 'Masked Man', who at the time was doing something to the Keyhole of the world. Stories of Masked Man defeating Stroud almost instantly had reached Kadaj's ears and he went to Neverland to seek out this 'Masked Man' to challenge him to a duel. Sadly, the Masked Man had retreated and left the Remnant disappointed. So as he walked further down the street he found himself on, Kadaj couldn't help but wonder if the other user of Darkness coming to this world would not also disappoint him. Only time was going to tell.

Soon enough, a startled young man appeared from about the corner up ahead before sprinting past the silver-haired youth. Kadaj turned and raised an eyebrow as he glanced over his shoulder, watching the civilian vanish into a door that slammed shut behind him. The turquoise-eyed Remnant paused for a second as he acquired a very familiar scent coming off the man who just darted by. Closing his eyes for a second and turning about to face the direction the man had come from, a wicked smirk spread across the face of the Remnant Leader.
"So... She is here."
Flexing his knees, Kadaj crouched down before jumping upwards, launching himself up towards the rooftop of the building beside him. Gripping the edge of the solid roof tiles, his leather gloves creaking as the material tightened about his hand, the silver-haired Remnant vault up onto the roof, his boots clanking against the slates, causing a few to jolt free and slide off the edge before plummeting down to the street below. The subtle tinkle of the shattered slates went unheard as Kadaj sprinted off across the roofs, jumping from one to the next to cover more ground then heading through the twists and turns of the Garden's streets.

Sure enough, Kadaj started to pick up the presences of others within the area. As he did so, he begun to slow down into a walk and made his way to the edge of the roof he stood upon. So, it seemed it was true. There was another user of Darkness within this world. Standing at the top of a flight of stairs across the area from him, was a woman, dressed in a revealing crimson dress with silver hair, yellow eyes and two large black wings. The hair and wings made the Remnant think of his 'Brother', Sephiroth, though with his eyes shining yellow and not turquoise, green nor blue, it could be assumed she did not have any Mako or JENOVA Cells within her body. A second presence belonging to that of what seemed to be a young girl, was carefully approaching the crimson dressed woman. Two more presences were a lot closer to him and after simply turning his attention downwards to glance down off the edge of the roof to the street below, there was where he saw the owners of the other auras. One was a boy, looking about the same age as the girl heading for Ultimecia and sanding beside him was...

Kadaj smirked and crouched down, resting his elbows upon his knees as he locked his brightly glowing eyes onto the woman in the pink dress. The wind blew by, causing the silver hair falling before his face to drift to one side slightly and revealing more of his face were Aerith and Palom to glance up over their heads.
"You should take that boy and run before this gets ugly."
Spoke the Remnant, his eyes continuing to glow with intensity as he smirked and kept his hawk-like stare locked onto Aerith. So she was here. How interesting. Was she going to stand up against the Time Witch if things started to heat up? Was Aerith really going to have the courage to stand up to Kadaj himself if he decided to join Ultimecia in her task of conquering this world? This was certainly a most amusing situation to be in and there was a strange tickling feeling in the back of Kadaj's mind, something telling them that there was more to come. Regardless, Kadaj kept his position upon the rooftop and kept his eyes on Aerith.

[minnie]

It was time.

Minnie looked down at the bundles of letters on her desk in three piles. The first pile was the same size it had been for weeks. These letters all had the king's seal on them and were addressed to Minnie. But those letters had stopped and the reason was beyond Minnie. She could feel in her heart that Mickey was out there somewhere but fear was starting to creep in that perhaps the king needed her help. Although...

The second pile on the far side of her desk were correspondences from people she'd specifically requested to be her eyes and ears in the worlds. This pile was growing rapidly in leaps and bounds every day. Darkness was on the move and it was doing something that had never been done before meaning someone was interrupting the balance; the everyday give and take of light and shadow. Sightings of Heartless, Keybladers and many other workers in both light and darkness were mentioned in these letters... but for some reason, the mouse king was never referenced. It was almost as though someone had known Minnie was looking for Mickey and all traces of him were being hidden from her...

The third and final pile was new and had only just been sifted out a few weeks ago. These letters made references to people that Minnie was interested in for a different reason. She had sent out eyes and ears that she'd trusted and the rumors in these letters picked out traits that caught Minnie's attention particularly well. As information grew about these people and more information came in about others like them, Minnie realized that some of the greatest powers of the light had remained untapped while darkness saw fit to do whatever it pleased with the fates of the people who struggled against it's tyranny.

But then again, that wasn't a fair statement either, Minnie corrected herself. The nature of darkness itself was like water; it would flow wherever it was allowed and fill whatever container it was placed into. Light was like heat. It would evaporate the darkness; but that didn't mean the darkness was gone. It was still behind everything the light touched. One half in dark, the other half in light. Well, except in very rare cases...

Which meant someone was manipulating the balance and tilting it, sending the delicate worlds into a sliding motion. Sometimes, even extinguishing them.

Minnie closed her eyes and nodded to herself as she made the firm decision. Disney Castle was a safe place. People there were all safe and sound thanks to the Cornerstone. The other worlds didn't have that luxury. It was time for the beacons of light to shine out and pierce the darkness once again. Sora was a strong advocate for the light, but he was only one boy. Even together with Riku and the King, they were still so small in the grand scheme of things. The queen began to get ready for her departure as she thought on what had become her belief.

One single person can not change all the worlds that have been damaged. More importantly, the meddling that had damaged it should not be continued by warriors seeking to balance out this chaos. If the darkness wanted to be a sword, then light should be a shield. True balance would never be achieved by simply slaying those who tried to manipulate the darkness, Queen Minnie thought. The people of the worlds themselves must learn to keep a balance within them. Without someone to meddle and fix their affairs, which made the balance turbulent; the world's hearts didn't get any stronger unless the people who's hearts were connected to it were made stronger.

Minnie had to concede that her ideas might be resisted in some places, but as she stepped into a gummiship carrying two bundles of letters, she felt strength well up in her heart. She would stand for her beliefs. No matter what, she would stand strong.

~*~*~

The mouse queen arrived in Radiant Garden and stepped out into the village looking a bit different than she had when she was ruling over Disney Castle. She was now in a white mage robe; regal gown and crown cast away for now as she journeyed forward. Looking around, she noticed that Aerith had not yet arrived to meet her. Minnie waited patiently for a moment, but she began to have a bad feeling in her heart. Aerith was usually very prompt and polite; her letters always on time and cheerful about the happenings in Radiant Garden.

Minnie began to worry that something had happened. With concern in her heart she began to walk through the towns, white mage hood pulled over her carefully as she looked down every street to find Aerith. As she was slowly walking, she began to think of all the other letters she'd sent and wondered if all the people she'd sent them to had received them. Surely no one knew of her secret mission already...

The queen was startled from her thoughts as she heard a shingle from the above roof strike the ground before her and quickly dodged out of the way of a second before it had struck her. A bit ruffled, Minnie looked up to see what had caused the minor landslide to see a familiar shape running forward...

...with familiar silver hair...

Minnie's heart began to race as she darted forward to follow him in the shadows of the streets and walls below. Her mind began combing over the details of previous meetings with the remnant she was currently following. A mix of fear, rage and concern dominated her heart at the thought of him but all of it was overshadowed by Minnie's desire to find Aerith and warn her of the very serious danger in her home.

Minnie skidded to a halt just before the corner and listened to the voices she could hear from the other side. Kadaj had already found Aerith, apparently... but he hadn't attacked her, which was a good sign, Minnie hoped. Peeking around the corner, staying carefully out of sight, Minnie watched as two young mages began a confrontation against an obviously much older and more seasoned mage. The woman was outlandish looking... but she was obviously not a joke.

Minnie decided to wait before making herself perfectly known. Perhaps it would be better to not let anyone know she was there until she was needed. This was a safe distance. She could cast magic from here and remain undetected until she did so. She couldn't help but think meddling was wrong; it was a violation of the World Order. But something told her these characters didn't care a thing for the order or protecting it... so mentally Minnie steeled herself. She knew soon, she would have to help defend this world.

[Ysera]

Ysera was just wandering the town, not really up to anything. Her last assignment in the Kingdom of Cornelia had been an utter failure, so she figured it wouldn't give her a good name either. As more of a mercenary, she wasn't sure what she should be doing.

Having found the worlds outside Ivalice, she had traveled a bit here and there. Met others of her world outside her world and met strangers in her world. She had guessed she could start doing some work outside Ivalice, but so far it hadn't been too great. At least I have some food with me, she thought to herself as she had noticed the world she was in used a different currency, but she couldn't have expected to be able to use gil, but something called munny instead.

She had mainly avoided the main population of the place due to standing out in the crowd with her clothes, hair, and wings. So far I've not been able to find any Gria outside Ivalice, she wondered if any had been able to get this far away from Jylland.

Hmm? She watched what seemed to be a mouse in clothing disappearing around the corner, a few blinks and some mean words from another of her world in her head, she sighed. This... I have to find out, she thought calm as she flapped her wings and moved up towards the rooftops to watch the mouse from above.

Going from there, she soon noticed some silver-haired person in black leather clothing, reminds me of a certain guy that was looking for his mother... She was almost certain they were related.

[Deleted]

Ultimecia has been removed from the Raid for not posting within four days.

Palom & Porom is next to post in the thread. He has four days.

[mysidia]

Like I'll let Porom hog all the fu.. the sudden voice caught Palom and he turned to where the question was asked to see a familiar face. “Oh, some witch appeared, nothing we can't ha..” a second voice caught him off guard and bothered him as he was talking to a cute girl only to be interrupted by a rude man that was calling him a 'boy', “what? Who are you?” He asked as he turned towards the silver-haired guy. Looking the guy over, he didn't expect the guy to be all that much older. And he had done great feats when he hadn't even reached the age of 10 yet!

“You think you're being funny, here!” He swirled his staff in his hand as he pointed it at the silver-haired man, from the staff tiny orbs appeared and raced at Kadaj. The Mysidian Genius casted Pig with the idea to humiliate the man, just for fun. A big grin flashed on his face as he had cast his spell. If Porom was going to deal with the witch, he was just going to have his fun with this guy.

Porom, meanwhile, had been attempting to deal with Ultimecia, but she had just vanished into some dark gate. What was that? Never having seen the Corridors, Porom wasn't sure how to deal with the witch now she had vanished. Will she jump out of the shadows to attack again? Waiting didn't really seem to help much and he had heard voices from where Palom was left.

“I shouldn't have left him on his own,” she figured the witch could have also gone to attack her brother while she waited here. Or there were more than one, so she hurried back to see the lady from Atlantica and a man with silver hair. Also, she noticed some sort of clothed mouse and something high above in the sky as she tried to go over the entire surroundings while she was still a bit away. Palom had cast a spell at the silver-haired one, so she hoped to figure out what was the thing happening here. She couldn't cast her Hold spell yet.

Though, the reunion didn't last very long. A very familiar voice rang in her ears.... A voice she hadn't exactly wanted to here in this world. The Cetra turned her head quickly, only to gaze upon the bright eyes of the silver haired man burning a hole through her own amazed stare. What... what was he doing here? From the corner of her eye, Aerith watched as the Time Witch had managed to vanish from the scene.. Well, at leas that resulted in less of a threat to her home... But that still left someone.. Her eyes gently moved back to Kadaj, who had his eyes still locked on her... "What are you doing here..? Please leave.." She firmly stood her ground as she spoke, not letting her voice waver. "We don't want anymore trouble.." Hopefully, the Remnant would take heed of her words and leave peacefully. If not, she was more than prepared to fight to keep the home she loved safe and keep the people who resided here and relied on her and the others from harm. [/style]

[Kadaj]

Any other person would have been disappointed, perhaps enraged at what had suddenly happened. The odds were already stacked up against the Users of Darkness within this world but when one of them decides to change their mind and retreat back into the voids of whence they came, normally it would trigger a chain reaction, resulting in the remaining followers to disperse and head back to where they originally came from. But... Kadaj wasn't any 'ordinary' person. He was something so much worse and the sudden change of situation didn't cause him to falter in the slightest. His eyes continued to glow brightly, full of life, full of excitement as they remained locked onto the gorgeous eyes of the Flower Girl. After his arrival, unknown to him for the time being, two more Users of the Light had arrived to help protect this world from the Time Witch and the Silver-haired Remnant. While two arrived, one left, but it wasn't of any importance. The Remnant Leader had been in a situation pretty similar to this one before where he was up against the likes of Vincent Valentine, Tifa Lockhart, Tseng of the Turks and Rufus ShinRa himself and had emerged victorious. Perhaps this is what he should have been looking for? Seeing as there was no single person who rivaled his strength, the next best thing would be to find multiple opponents, no?

Kadaj leaned to his side, peering out to the side of Aerith as the boy behind her has spoke up, asking who he was. Such a rude child, though the only reply he got was a sadistic smirk as well as the Remnant's tongue licking his lips as if he ha just laid eyes upon a tasty piece of meat. Speaking of eyes, the turquoise orbs within the silver-haired youth's head were glowing brightly as usual, appearing to be on fire as they turned back to look upon Aerith as she took her turn to address him. Before any words were given to the girl in the pink dress, the Remnant suddenly shifted, gliding to his right with a lack of physical movement as the orbs of the Pig spell raced by. A very rude child indeed.
"Trouble?"
Kadaj repeated, his voice frighteningly calm, though also sounded like it was holding back a great deal of excitement. He bowed his head a fraction, peering up and through the silver strands of hair that covered half his face, the glow of his eyes easily seen.
"Who said I had come here to cause trouble? Perhaps the woman who vanished wanted to cause trouble and I simply wanted to spectate? Then again... it wouldn't be very fun if she had all the fun with... lets see... the five of you, right?"
Kadaj's words grew louder the closer he got to the end of his sentence, making sure he had spoke loud enough for all the others in the area to have heard him. He had made a miscalculation. It wasn't another 4 on 1 battle, it was something better!

"What if I refuse, Aerith? What if I do not leave and I want to cause trouble? Do you really have the confidence to take me on in battle!? Even with your little friend here, you have no chance against me!"
The Remnant exclaimed, his arms raising outwards either side of his body, the leather clothing covering his arms tightening and creaking as he did so. A sinister chuckle escaped his lips as he took a step forwards, closing the gap between himself and the Flower Girl. The silver-haired youth lowered his arms back down before reaching out with his right, fingering curving to match the shape of Aerith's neck as he held his hand out before her face, flexing his fingers into a fist and back out into an open palm.
"I could squeeze the life out of you right now. You really should leave the fighting to my idiot 'Brother' and his lackeys."
As he spoke, his left arm reached back behind him towards the handle of his Souba, his trusted and infamous weapon. Leather bound fingers curled about the tightly wrapped handle and slowly began to pull the twin-bladed katana free of it's scabbard, his smirk growing more dangerous with each passing second.
"I've been bitterly disappointed recently with my battles, do you think you can entertain me?"

((OoC -- I've as good as lost this raid thanks to Ultimecia not posting, so thanks for the fun while it had lasted. Doubt I'll get another post in by time May 3rd rolls around. Spend your Munny wisely, friends. =) ))

[minnie]

Minnie watched in curiosity from under her white mage hood as one of the interlopers left in a dark portal and a flurry of feathers. What had caused her to disappear? She wondered if she would ever find out. Her attention turned to the twin mages; one boy, one girl. It seemed strangely familiar to her, this group. Oh yes... Perhaps these were Palom and Porom? Coming to Disney Castle to meet with Minnie about her invitation... They were early. But that was fine. It was what Minnie was here for after all. Well... that and the other thing too... but that would take time to get to.

The queen mouse's eyes traveled back to the white haired trespasser as he continued to threaten Aerith. As he called out loud enough for her to hear, she knew she had been discovered and hiding would do her no good, though she couldn't fathom how he'd realized she was there from around the corner... had Kadaj learned some form of sensory magic that allowed him to sense all beings of the light? That would be useful... he had walked right over her and she had not sensed him at all...

As he reached for his Souba Minnie realized she could no longer stay in the silent shadows and she stepped forward to help the three she could see, pulling her hood back and revealing herself, knowing it would pull Kadaj's attention from Aerith if only temporarily.

"That will be quite enough, Kadaj." Her voice remained surprisingly calm yet firm. "You attack for entertainment? Sounds a bit like being a bully. It's a shame you've sunk even lower than when last we met." Her voice remained perfectly even, which she knew would agitate him even worse. She was a proud queen; she would show no fear to this overgrown child.

In the meantime, she was carefully casting a protect spell between Aerith, the twins and Kadaj in attempt to keep their lives safe. She didn't know for sure what Kadaj's intentions were towards her, but if he planned to pull out that Souba... better safe than sorry.

[Ysera]

Ysera stayed a bit away, but remained within hearing distance to see what was going on. The silver-haired youth seemed to have already noticed her. There seemed to be some spellcasters amongst those gathered, at least the two younger ones were. The two appeared to be twins from the looks of it.

Other than the two kids and the silver-haired youth that looked like a swordsman, there was the two ladies that might as well be normal civilians. Hearing the silver-haired youth speak, Ysera wondered what the man was thinking, but seeing him sarting to unsheath his sword and the others in battle position, nothing good could from this.

The dragon-lady took a look at her ring as she held up her hand where the ring shone up and at Aerith's and at Minnie's side, a flash of light appeared. Next to Aerith a Sylph appeared while next to Minnie Shivan appeared. The Gria Hunter thought she might just add to their numbers, but also figuring the youth would just refer to the two summons as 'kids'.

In her hands, she held her bow now tight as she pulled out an arrow. Ysera was ready for combat as well, as a freelancer she might prefer asking for money first, but she still couldn't ignore and this would maybe get her a bit better known to get jobs later on.

OOC Note
Still trying to think what to do for posts, anyhow I summoned two helpers. Maybe we can scare off Kadaj, or give him a beating.
