In need of assistance...

[Secondary Characters]

"...Seif, Fuu, Rai. I, well, you know I can't leave friends behind in trouble. A really old ally is in danger, guys, and I need to do all I can to help. She did ensure the safety of my friends back in my world when..." he turned, unsure of whether to explain everything. It would take a long time, and he needed to use that time to find Beatrix with the others.

"It's a long story; I can tell you all when I return. But for now, Beatrix is in trouble. I'm sorry, I'll explain it all when I come back."

[sorry i haven't posted, i've been doing a lot of things and have been wondering what to post >:U]

Lexia ran back to Sai and Lilith, smiling brightly. They're letting us come with, as pilots~ We going or not? She happily grabbed both of their hands, giggling. It was a wonder she was a Nobody, it didn't seem so.

[Sai]

Sai blinked as he was suddenly jerked forward. Apparently, all was set and the heroes could finally go. He paused a second, reclaiming his hand. "One moment..." he said calmly, then turned to the wrecked gummi ship and pointed his wand at it. "No reason to waste..."

A blast of lightning raced from the wand tip, hitting the ship hard and shattering it into its individual components. A flick of the wrist created a small whirlwind which drew them in. He pulled it closer and held out his pocket, dropping the blocks inside the infinite storage space there. Once the entire mess was cleaned, he slipped his wand back into his coat as if nothing had happened. "Help me remember this pocket is for our gummi pieces?" he casually asked Ximar as he then walked with the group.

"My apologies..." he said to the two women near Vivi, nodding his head. "We haven't been introduced properly. My name is Sai. It means learner... Shall we?" he started walking to the Gummi Garage without another word.

[Agrias Oaks]

The knight smiled, turning over to the group that was heading toward them and gave them a polite bow. She would rest a hand over her chest plate, right above the crown symbol on it, before speaking, "Ah, it seems we are to make a bigger party! Splendid."

"We haven't been introduced properly. My name is Sai. It means learner... Shall we?" said the tall man that looked...awefully familiar, though certain she has never met the man before in her life, until now.

"A pleasure," Agrias greeted, speaking with a soft British accent, " I am Agrias Oaks, Leader of the Lionsguard Brigade back in mine own world, and Bodyguard of Her Royal Majesty Ovelia. You may call me Agrias. I look forward to working with all of you on this journey of ours. " she grinned, standing to the side to introduce the girl with her, "This here is Lady Abigail, she has been quite the exceptional healer, and great friend in our quest." she paused here and looked to Abigail to see if she wanted to say anything...

[Secondary Characters]

Vivi turned away from his friends, and began walking with this new party; he looked upon these new people with fond familiarity. It made him relish the memories coming back to him.

Zidane, Dagger...Eiko, Steiner...all of you guys...gone?

As he followed along, he stayed closest to Sai, who for some reason seemed like the safest to be around, though with his head drooped low, he couldn't tell where his new companions were and ended up walking too close, getting his boot stuck beneath one of Sai's long strides, and toppling over backwards.

"Oof!" he cried, crashing hard. Of course the young mage was always quick to his feet and ready to continue, this time watching the path.

"I sure hope General Beatrix is okay," he said quietly. "It would be nice knowing not all of my connections to that place have...stopped moving."

[ximar]

"Help me remember this pocket is for our gummi pieces?"

Ximar nodded at the question.

"We haven't been introduced properly. My name is Sai. It means learner... Shall we?"

Ximar smiled. "Well, if introductions are being made. My name is Ximar, The Gravitational Defier. Pleasure to meet you."

[Lilith]

"I'm Lilith, vampire... so you might want to keep your distance if I get hungry, so what are we doing now?"

[Abigail Crescentlight]

Abigail smiled brightly when she was introduced and bowed politely. "A pleasure to meet you all-huh?" she blinked, seeing Sai walk off already, with Vivi tripping under his feet. "Oh!" she gasped, then ran forward to help the small mage up. "Sweetheart, be careful..." she whispered to the little one before he walked off again. She giggled lightly, standing to look behind her at the others and waved for them to hurry.

"Come on! Let's get going!" she said cheerfully! She trotted along behind the mages, in case Vivi fell again. She hated to see him topple so, but had grown to realize the small boy was rather clumsy. It was a cute character flaw, yes, but it was just her nature to worry for him. She even offered the child her hand, happy to walk with him to keep him from tripping again...

[glow=Gray,2,300]Beside the Disciplinary Committee a small, gray and white blob appeared, but soon turned to silver; a white hand decorated with black nail polish sprouted forth, and soon came the body of a militaristic man dressed in a high-ranking trench coat; he danced his way into existence, an appathetic look plastered to his face. When the man fully surfaced, he looked around, his ponytail swaying in the wind. He looked exceptionally ordinary, though, unlike his crazed counterpart.

Zolapaz Afkek was born, the Nobody of Kefka Palazzo. He raised an eyebrow, and turned to the seemingly approachable group and bowed.

"Greetings," he said, and stood back up. "I wonder if you could tell me where I am?"[/glow]

[Secondary Characters]

Seifer had been steaming since Vivi's departure. There were few things that really got under his skin, but being ditched was one of them. Particularly, being ditched by the loser in the group. That made him absolutely tweaked off. Bonus round, he didn't get to finish his fight with that armored broad either. He was good to go for a good brawl right about now.

"Chillax..." Fu said softly, her arms crossed and her eyes closed as she leaned against a nearby wall. She was obviously not fond of the turn of events either, but not the type to rant and rave the way Seifer did.

"Yeah, gettin' all worked up about it don't help squat, ya know?" Rai chided in, always the type to be heard when stuff like this went down. "Let's just go back to the way it was before that loser came along, ya know?"

"Whatever," Seifer snapped, stopping his pacing for a bit to cross his arms angrily. He looked off, trying to calm down. "Not like the disciplinary committee really needed that chicken-wuss anyway..."

That was when another voice joined theirs. "Greetings, I wonder if you could tell me where I am?"

Seifer, Rai, and Fu all looked to the newcomer, none of them looking too pleased to be approached by yet another stranger. Rai was the first (as usual) to open his mouth. "This is Twilight Town, ya know? And we're the disciplinary committee around here, ya know!"

Seifer lifted a hand, basically telling Rai to shut up before facing the new guy. "Nice suit..." he said, putting one hand on his hip. "But I think you're a little late. Circus cleared out a week ago. Better go catch up..." he was being rude, of course, mainly because of recent events.

Fu on the other hand... was quiet for once. She looked at the man with one wide eye, mouth slighlty ajar. Needless to say, she was the type that had a thing for men in uniform...

[Cloud]

Do you know what it's like to be dumped unceremoniously in the middle of a clearing, with no memory of the past few years and nothing on your person but the clothes on your back and an abnormally large sword sticking out of the ground next to your head? No? Just me? Well, that sucks.

Okay, let's start at the beginning. Sometime after a fight with about a billion ShinRa soldiers, Zack remembered blacking out... He thought he had died... He vaguely recalled giving his sword to Cloud, hoping he'd live his life out as he would... but then? The black-haired SOLDIER first class sat up, rubbing his head a bit and groaning. "Ah man... what hit me?" he wondered aloud, looking around slowly.

He was in front of a mansion, just outside a big gate that hung open. Interesting. Slowly, he stood up and stretched a bit, grabbing the buster sword near him and looking at it. "Woah..." he muttered, noticing that this particular model was... not the one Angeal gave him.

This one was made of several swords, all interlocked together. Looking around, he didn't see HIS anywhere. "Okay, weird, but hey, upgrade!" he settled, then strapped the massive thing to his back. Hands on his hips, he took another look around. Looked like there was a path nearby. "Good a place to start as any..." he looked up a second here. "I should stop talking to myself..." with a shrug, he ran toward the open path through the woods.

Not a huge area, this. In fact, turn right and bam, you're in town! Cool by him. Walking out into the Tram Commons area, he took it all in, trying to figure out where he was.

"Okay... this definately isn't Midgar or Kalm or even Nibelheim..." he muttered. That's when he saw some military-looking guy talking to some kids. It didn't look like trouble yet, but you never know. Instinct kicking in, Zack ran over to a bit of building nearby, hiding around a corner and listening in.

He didn't know why, but that dude in the suit felt... familiar.

[kefka]

[glow=Gray,2,300]Zolapaz listened to this little brand of rudeness with simply a stare of disregard. His former self would have had them destroyed within just seeing them alive, but this Nobody had no heart, so he had no will to really be angry. Instead he shrugged.

"Is that where I am supposed to be going, then?" said the general-like man, turning to glance at the road below. "If you could just lead me in the right direction, I shall be off. I'm unsure of my latest task, but will be sure to ask when I reach my leader." Then the general thought to himself. Who exactly is my leader nowadays? Zolapaz shrugged, and looked back. Bowing he thanked them, and awaited their instructions.

"You may call me General Zolapaz Afkek, by the way."[/glow]

[Secondary Characters]

"General?" Fu asked, finally speaking up. Seifer and Rai both looked at her like this was the most shocking thing that could happen right now. It was fairly obvious that she was blushing, holding a hand up in halfhearted attempt to cover her cheeks as she quickly looked off, clearing her throat to indicate she'd be quiet.

Seifer sighed, then looked at the man again. "Look. We don't know you, and we don't know where you're from or where you need to be, old timer. If you're really a General, you're probably from some military outfit, but this town doesn't have a formal military. If YOU don't know, then you're clearly not all there in the head. Go to the hospital and have yourself checked out or something..." with that, he gestured over his shoulder a sign of dismissal, like he was done talking to him.

Rai was about to chime in, but Seifer bumped him to keep him quiet, and to indicate that he was to follow suit with turning his back to the man, which, of course, Rai did...

All that was left was the girl glancing over every once in a while, blushing and trying not to be caught.
