Welcome to Gaia! ::

If you look closely you can see the outlines of two beings above Near and Rihan. One was a white haired man who looked exactly like Rihan with red eyes and a mischievous smile.Forming a triangle behind the man were three symbols lit in indigo flame. Hatsu,Hyoui,and finally above his head was Osore the symbol for fear. His presence vanished as Rihans sword and necklace glowed.Near's being was even more ominous and had no recognizable form, it quickly vanished as Near made an inaudible sound. They quickly made their images on the pillar vanish from sight, almost causing them lost control of their powers and attack but they kept it hidden.Once they got a hold of themselves they looked around.They had both seen this place before and now that they were inside they'd get back in later and get what they wanted.

Near:"And so ends stage 2 of Neuro's plan."

The two go to check on Kalen and Rose.

Rihan:" Kalen why are we here?"
Near:"Just who is this girl?"

:Rihan:"So you must love her a lot then.I was taught that keybladers take the shape of a manifestation of the weilders heart.How do you know if her old keyblade still is the manifestation of her heart? "

Near was crouched down stacking a large structure out of dice.If you looked closely you could see at least one of every unique aquatic heartless they fought earlier suspended in stasis.He stacked as he spoke.

Near:"How did she come to loose her keyblade?

Rihan:We can't stay here much longer Kalen.Our presence is causing the pillar to crack.Hurry and do what you need to do

Near:

Rihan:Aghhhhhhh! Nooo she.......Agggggggh!!! he doubles over in pain.His hair falls into his face as he clutches his right arm.His arm glows red and for a brief moment his eyes flash red.

Near:I told you this would happen sooner or later.Its Rias warning u about Riser Phoenix.Stop ignoring the fact you'll have face her sooner or later.What happen'd to you Rihan! Where is your Osore? We're your powers? Why are you weak!

Rihan looks up at Near enraged.He looks insane and pitiful.His arm stops glowing and he stands up.He fixes his hair and pulls out a clear jug filled with a purple liquid and starts drinking it.He speaks.

Shut your da@n mouth! Just who the he&l do you think I am.I'm a yokai! I have no Fears! You,and the others don't get it.You don't understand ....... My power......did I really have power?.......Is that what you guys called it.My darkness .......I've forgotten .......what kind of Yokai am I......to make you and the others follow me......I came to this world.....to hide from this truth.....I've forgotten Near.....so I used Descorrer to hide till I could find out what I forgot. .

Rihan laughs and seems to have changed in his layed back demonor to a much more serious one.He made the jug vanish.Near took a few steps back.

Rihan: Thats a bold faced lie and you know it.You keybladers Fear that one side will consume the other.Thats one of the purposes of your weapons....Even if you rise up a thousand times, there will be no victory for any of you.Hearts...... You Humans are always so quick to speak of such things. With those keyblade's it is though you carry your hearts in the very palms of your hands. What is this "heart"? If I tear open that chest of yours, will I see it there? If I smash open that skull of yours, will I see it there? My world is being ravaged by you wielders....and why? Because we were born of darkness.....HAhahahah...for that simple fact."

Near: If you do not know it, then we shall enlighten you. This is the form of the true despair.....despair of the cursed world you Kingdom Hearts abandoned. No matter how similar your appearance and techniques may be to those of an Heartless though their power is as far apart as heaven and earth. When a Wielder or even a Nobody wishes to gain power, imitating the latter is an appropriate course of action. However, because they are imitating, The races will never be equal to each other.Just one infinte Cycle of immitation.Don't you see the futility of it all?


Rihan:You Fear the darkness will consume the things you love.Look me in the eye and tell me you don't want to erase darkness from every world.Look me in the eye and tell me you don't hate my power.Tell me what the darkness is to you Kalen He rushes forward with a chaotic indigo flame in his hand aimed to strike Kalen.Near simply lets him go without a sound noticing that Rihan had absorbed the darkness that Kalen had taken from rose and that his necklace was glowing.

Rihan:Show me just how tough the keybladers are!!

Rihan:Then answer my question.Since you wielde one.

He presses against the keyblade as the chaotic force of his amulet begins to affect his flame,causing the keyblade to spaz out as he presses it.

Near:Starts preparing a spell watching Rihan intently should he lose control

Near caught them both in a barrier and stop them from falling.He saw the light of kingdom hearts and started to smirk. Rihan removed his inhibiter rings and drew his sword.His aura picked up and behind him were shadows of red-eyed warriors and Beast.His hair turned white and his eyes turned red.His voice deepened signifigently .Both he and Near looked like men in their twenties.

Near:"That won't help you.You wish to protect the worlds? Don't be so naïve.Kingdom hearts drove our people out for no reason and left us in the abyss.Who ever helped use....Not you key bladers. .

I do not deny evil, nor do I believe that any being is completely free of malice. Everything must be in balance. As long as evil and good maintain an equilibrium in this world there is no problem. Perfect balance is the key to everything.In your world people like you disturb this balance. It is beyond my comprehension. Your stubbornness is even greater than your stupidity.If it is due to what you Humans call a 'heart', it is because of that heart that you suffer injuries and it is because of that heart that you will lose to us"

Rihan:"Love......Family! I lost all of those cause of people like you! Your a save the day hero type.How underwhelming.....the presence you exude.... So this is all a being of KH amounts to.I'm not about to let more of my people die for the sake of you worthless humans.The future doesn't belong to you! Now feel the power of my people's Fused Shadow Style-Demon Blade Technique biggrin abō (Serpent Fang)

Rihan fades out of view and appears in front of Kalen with his sword drawn.The sword has the form of a standard sized indigo hued katana with a green handle and sheath. The guard has two curved extensions from its long sides, forming a serpents eye that matches Rihans. He holds up his sword and slices the air in from of him,creating cross-cut shaped chaos energy projectiles to speed toward Kalen.
