On a pipe inside a wrecked ship, darkness spread and a man appeared. The man was covered by the darkness, his face had a strange metal mask as if he was some type of a dangerous prisoner and his both arms were bounded. Two mechanical arms took the two bounded arms' places.
The man, Nero, look from the pipe he was standing on over the watery floor underneath him. He had tried to travel to a different world instead of on the same world this time and seemed to have ended up in some kind of ship.
Nero jumped from his pipe onto a broken ladder which cracked when he got on, but his mechanical arms grabbed the last few remains of the ladder to climb up. Nero was wondering if this was a wrecked ship.
Nero got a deck higher and when he looked around, he noticed he wasn't at the top yet, but from a window, he saw he wasn't underwater. Nero slightly nodded. "Maybe some... exploring." He looked for another stairs or ladder, but it seemed it were all broken.

Behind Nero another darkness appeared, but this time a dark portal and a Restrictor stepped out. "Oh, crap. I actually have to work now. I was relaxing so nicely in that strange cartoon world. Why did you have to appear. And you're not even a simple Deepground soldier, but the right-hand-man of Weiss himself. His biological brother, Nero. How unlucky." He took out his short gunblades and started shooting at Nero's back.

Nero felt another darkness, that felt slightly different from his and turned around to face a portal that dropped a man out. A man that made Nero feel anger and rage, but also fear and sadness. One of the Restrictors had appeared before him and the man spoke mockingly to himself. "Oh, crap. I actually have to work now. I was relaxing so nicely in that strange cartoon world. Why did you have to appear. And you're not even a simple Deepground soldier, but the right-hand-man of Weiss himself. His biological brother, Nero. How unlucky."
Nero grunted as the Restrictor started shooting with his gunblades at him. Nero caught the bullets inside a shield of darkness that consumed the bullets. "Why have you returned? The only thing that awaits you here, is death. It was better to stay hidden or dead." The two mechanical arms and the darkness showed four guns that shot at the Restrictor.

Zruy noticed his gunfire had no use to Nero. "Bah..." Nero spoke to him as he pointed four guns at him. "Why have you returned? The only thing that awaits you here, is death. It was better to stay hidden or dead." Zruy grinned and hitted a few bullets away, dodging the rest. "Your question is why I have returned! The answer is to kill you all! Death awaits us all. It is us who embraces her when it is the time!"
Zruy shot more bullets and kept his distance. If he got too close, the darkness would consume him.

"Your question is why I have returned! The answer is to kill you all! Death awaits us all. It is us who embraces her when it is the time!" Nero blinked. "I never knew such fools as yourself exsisted in this world!" The darkness wrapped around Nero again to consume all the bullets and the darkness and mechanical arms kept shooting at the Restrictor. "It happens to be your time to... embrace her."

"I never knew such fools as yourself exsisted in this world!" Zruy looked annoyed at the darkness. He had to keep distance, but with distance and Nero's shield, he wouldn't get far. He needed more allies. "It happens to be your time to... embrace her." Bullets kept flying in his direction and Zruy jumped away, he ran up to a wall with rotten wood and jumped through it, disappearing out of Nero's sight.
Zruy quickly jumped through the wreckages and disappeared from all views, hidden somewhere.
Zruy, the Restrictor, has left the thread.

Nero ran up at the hole that the Restrictor created and searched for him. He had disappeared. "Why did he go... This is bad!" He looked annoyed around. "Can't be helped... I'll report this to brother."
Nero turned around and thought what he was doing. "Exploring..."

"AUGH." Vellum's voice rung clear over the wind, followed by the sound of sad shoes hitting soggy wood and the resounding, cracking, current of curses that seemed appropriate for the current setting. He crouched uneasily, teeth grinding as he snapped his mouth shut mid-word upon the realization that he had ended up in an occupied world this time.
Not that it matters, you idiot. You've already given away the fact that you're actually here. Stupid. He snapped at himself, grimacing at the feel of those (once again) wet jeans. "Ugh, it smells like mold and decay..."
The boy shook the hair from his face, glasses pushed up once more as his free hand drew a throwing knife from a hidden sheath along his thigh. There could be more of those Heartless things here for all he knew, or maybe even something worse.

Nero heard something outside suddenly and he looked around. The noise came from behind some wrecked wood that stood up right. Blocking Nero's view. A darkness enshrouded him and the darkness appeared behind Vellum again. Nero stepped out of the darkness and looked at the person.
Nero sighed. "Not the Restrictor, where did he go?" He looked around and then looked at the person before him again. He didn't even look like the Restrictor or anyone he ever seen. "Bah."

The hair on the back of Vellum's neck stood on end, sudden goose pimples traveling up those already clammy freckled arms in a reaction that even he couldn't control as Nero appeared in the darkness behind him. The teen rolled sideways instinctively, shifting in mid-motion to face the man with that knife poised for action. His lips pressed into a thin line as he watched the man in silence, his body already tensed to either run away or defend himself should the need arise.
"A Heartless?" No that wasn't right, was it? All the other Heartless he had run into were silent. Eerily silent. But then again, he was hardly the expert when it came to such matters... "Who are you?"
Those hazel eyes narrowed, it was taking a good deal of bravado just to keep from running like mad. This man scared the crap out of Vellum, there was no doubt about that.

Nero watched as Vellum first got surprised, then took a battle-stance. "A Heartless?" Nero blinked, this boy thought too loud. Nero slowly moved to look for the Restrictor again, but was stopped when the boy spoke again. "Who are you?" Nero turned to the boy again.
Nero's eyes narrowed. "Nero." He stood still and faced Vellum. "You are?" He looked rather pissed at Vellum as he kept him up. The Restrictor was probably very far by now. It pissed Nero off a bit.

Holy Cactuar, this guy was scary. Vellum froze briefly, eyes going wide behind those (once again) dirty glasses as his blade remained firm in hand. The teen had a feeling that it would do little against the man in front of him, but security was security no matter how small. He remained silent for a moment or two, somehow pulling his heart out of his throat as he reigned in his fear and set his jaw. Come on Vellum, he's only worse than anything you've ever fought because of the little fact that he's sentient...
"Vellum." Not his real name, never his real name. He had grown so used to the nickname given to him so long ago that it was often uttered before the boy could form his proper name. It had saved his life more than once, there were many things one could do if they had a name.
"...I did not mean to keep you from whatever task you were set to..." The ginger-haired boy continued politely, hiding the quiver in his voice as those hazel eyes remained trained on the person in front of him. An escape is what he needed to find, and fast.

Nero noticed the boy was death-scared. Why am I wasting my time on a scared kitten? Why not eat him now and get on? He was probably short on a few souls anyhow, after being gone for so long. The boy seemed to remain silent and Nero took that as no answer, but before he turned away again, the boy spoke: "Vellum."
Nero memorised the name, just in case as he was new here and a guide would always be helpful. Although he didn't expect Vellum to actually help him after he scared him to death and Nero sighed. "...I did not mean to keep you from whatever task you were set to..." The boy, Vellum, continued and Nero shook annoyed his head.
Nero turned slightly and looked over his shoulder around. "The man probably escaped now anyhow. Did you see anyone in some strange cloaked suit with a strange mask? He's someone that experimented on human bodies. Which is why I'm clothed like this, they're dangerous, consider that as a warning." Nero looked around him at the wreckages. "Where is this place?"

"No. I haven't seen anyone other than you and the darkness. Last I knew, I was in someplace called Traverse Town. This definately isn't any part of Traverse Town that I was shown." Not that it said much, Vellum really hadn't explored much of Traverse Town to begin with. Most of it was infested with Heartless, and while the boy tried his hand at killing some of them by himself he spent most of his time recovering from the various places he had already been drawn into. That and taking showers. He hadn't realized how much he missed being clean until this whole "adventure".
"Uhm, anyway. Yeah, I'd better let you go... I'm going to, uh... See what's on the other side of this... Uhm... Lovely ship..." Vellum nervously laughed a little, starting to rise and back away from Nero.

"No. I haven't seen anyone other than you and the darkness. Last I knew, I was in someplace called Traverse Town. This definately isn't any part of Traverse Town that I was shown." Nero blinked. So he isn't from here. Nero tiled his head a little. Maybe I should try and head for his world, then he's of at least some use. Nero shrugged.
"Uhm, anyway. Yeah, I'd better let you go... I'm going to, uh... See what's on the other side of this... Uhm... Lovely ship..." The boy laughed nervous and backed away from him. "I see that you're a coward. I wish you a peaceful death, if you ever can get one. They probably are all horrible anyway. I will try and find you again some time later, I'm right now in a hurry."
The darkness enshrouded Nero and he fully disappeared on the spot.
Nero has left the thread, yeah, sorry if it's a little short. o.o
