Sophia saw the person in the black coat appear
She took in a deep breath to not be scared
"you are on Destiny Islands...are you alright?" she gently asked trying to push back her bad memories of people in black coats.

kalenakeeper So sorry about my slowness....new job is badly screwing me up, so for the next week or two, I'll be a bit slow to respond. REST ASSURED! I will be responding ASAP though. knux_nyan Same goes to you. I shall be posting as quickly as I can, but again, new job at a newly constructed Wal-Mart *shudder* ish be making my life a bit more chaotic than usual.  Two people answered his question...they were almost identical answers, and so he responded in kind. Without turning his head towards either of them, Draxenas would just give two copies of the exact same reply their own questions.
"Destiny Islands, huh? An interesting name for a place. That means I can assume there is more than just this one island." His voice, smoother than the softest butter, and as flowing as liquid mercury, was almost the voice of a perfect gentleman. "I am quite well, just....a little fuzzy. As much research as I've done, I cannot say it prepared me for...well, this," he'd go on with a gesture to himself. Put another way, he's only been a Nobody a few hours and had no idea what he was doing or why. He did, however, feel an urge he could not name, and indeed was not even yet fully aware of.
The only indication he gave of speaking to the other was a very slight lowering of his head, as one might when getting a better look at someone or something that was closer to themselves. "Destiny Islands, huh? An interesting name for a place. That means I can assume there is more than just this one island. I did not come here with a need in mind, to be honest I simply felt....compelled, you could say, to be here and so I came." It was as close to the truth as he could say it, although the word compelled was obviously used for lack of a more appropriate word.

"That jacket. It is the mark of a nobody. Are you with the Neo-Organization." Eclipse asked as he held his keyblades firm. "I thought we eliminated them." Kalen asked. "We killed there leader but we are not sure it was all of them." He said.

"Nee-yo? Organ-I-zation?" Draxenas pronounced each syllable with deliberate slowness, as one might roll a particular flavor around in their mouth, getting a feel for it. It didn't ring any bells. "I've never heard of one before, although you say you killed them all. I suppose that would make me not one." It was clear from the way he spoke, he was assuming that a "neo organization" was some species of creature. He didn't even seem to acknowledge that weapons were drawn. For all the attention he paid them, it was as if they were simply not there. "Truth be fully told, I have only been.....myself, for only a few hours." And this was the truth. Although his face was utterly hidden, the look it wore was one of pure confusion that showed in his voice.

Sorry for the delay Rihan appeared a few feet from the others. He had taken his own portal for the others safety. As the group spoke to the Nobody he scanned the area for Neuro or any of his constituents . He took in a full breath of clean sea air to clear his lungs. He always had a soft spot for the sea,and he was sure he'd be able to utilize the power of the Fourth Fonic Hymn. The Hymn of Water. He took a few moments to check his equipment and make sure his guns were loaded and his sword was sharp. He had a vague idea of who Neuro would send to get the Jewel,but he wasn't so arrogant to think even with the others Neuro would fail. That man had dedicated most of his life to this very time. All he has left is his memories,and even those are starting to fade. He'd be sure to pull out all the stops to get the Fonics; he did have Rias and Yosuzume. Satisfied with his work Rihan make his sword vanish and set his guns in the holsters at his side as he took out a package of cigarettes. Only a few minutes had passed since Rihan had seated himself on a rock surrounded by a pool of water a few feet from the others, and the only thing that had changed was the amount of cigarette butts that littered the ground around him and his appearance. While the cigarettes were not of the kind one might criticize as a death warrant; they held magical properties. In Rihans case they lessened the natural suppression of the seal that afflicts his people and turns most into a child-like state.The curing affect washed through him once more as he lit another cigarette;reawakening memories.  With a sigh, he tossed it aside, putting out the spark with the tip of his dress shoes as he pushed himself to his. feet. His muscles felt a little stiff from disuse, and his arms broke out in gooseflesh under his shirt at the slight breeze. He after a few stretches and gun re-calibrations he cleaned up his litter, checking to make sure that nothing had gone unnoticed, and made his way back to the group.He was thinking about Rias as his foots parted the sand. --------Flashback " "This is bigger than life and death Rihan! " " she had said. " "We were always bigger than that, weren't we? Of course, you'd laugh if you could hear me now.
" " Rihan said to himself It's easy enough to picture Rias smiling warmly at him. In essence, their conversations, were entirely one-sided but not so different from most of their talks in their childhood.It was easy enough to fill in the hums and chuckles, small sounds of surprise and one-word non-answers. It's almost convenient given that Rias was never really the talkative type. There was usually some calculated deliberation within the stretch of her silences but Rihan had found himself grateful for those silences now, seeing as they are still far easier to replicate.Still, time is always so different in his head, feels like it's gone on forever, feels like it won't go fast enough. It's better now than it was before with respect to that horrid air that had filled up both the inside of his head and crept into his breathing space, better than conjuring up scenario after scenario of impossible what ifs, playing the ugly game of ricocheting blame back and forth and back and forth with no end in sight. " "It's not fair and you know it. " " , he said into the haze of his thoughts, no bite in it, just bone-deep exhaustion. "But then, you never played fair to begin with.....Rias. " " And soon, it wasn't at all difficult to picture the woman he loved smiling back at him from some untraceable place, some guilt mixed in with the stubbornness now, perhaps for leaving Rihan with the brunt of the damage. "Typical Rias." He chuckled to himself. He tries to save the cigarettes for the more difficult days, when all his senses need immersion, when the curve of Rias's lips forming the smile that was always reserved just for him are slipping away faster than he can conjure it.Some days, he'll carelessly go through a pack, breathing her in and breathing her out, almost frantic, almost desperate, because he doesn't know how to hold on to her without losing her to the air. He lights up his last cigarette as he draws nearer, breathes in; he breathes out only empty smoke as he makes his way to the to Eclipse . -----Flash back end " Hah your so quick to pull that weapon on anyone aren't you Eclipse? " The cigarettes magic had worked its way into Rihan. His voice was now smoother and had tumbled down a few octaves.

kalenakeeper Sorry for the lack of formatting. Using a different lappy atm but will be getting my a** on re-acquiring my legit one ASAP. In the meantime...  Draxenas allowed the whole Neo Organization thing go rather quickly. When the girl mentioned that he was someone else before he was who he was, he supposed it was true. After all, one did not simply get born as a fully grown individual. He noticed the man randomly showing up, but chose to ignore him. The new guy wasn't worth noticing, since it seemed the newcomer's only interest was in watching.His first remark was to the girl who seemed to be the more level-headed of the bunch. "Well...to be honest, no. I remember waking up in a dark city filled with warped and twisted buildings. In the distance was a massive, I guess floating, white and silver castle. I felt a...craving? Compulsion? Urge? Want? Something like that...I had one to be here, so I opened up a door and walked through it. And here I am." Then he would turn himself gently towards the other more hot-tempered individual, the movement so naturally fluid and seamless that if you weren't careful, you would miss and assume he'd been looking your way the whole time. "You want me to take off my hood? As much as I prefer the shade, I suppose making myself an easier target is an acceptable risk to take. After all, I've seen your faces and only one look...and I know for a fact that I'll never forget them for the rest of my days." And then with a quick move, his hand w=had swept the hood from his head. His hair was shaggy and unkempt, but short and silvery gray in color. His skin was pale, but not overly so, and his face looked for all the world like someone had stitched him up repeatedly in long strokes for no apparent reason. His smile, it was as clear as day, was tinged at the edges, just like his beady grey eyes, with a madness so profound yet refined that may have brought to mind Dr. Frankenstein wearing a top hat and waistcoat. In short, a perfect gentleman who was also perfectly off his god damn rocker.

Sophia sighed knowing exactly where he had first appeared
"You were in the place without a name that most people call 'the world that never was'. Yes, I am familiar with that place, most of us have been there in the past" she smiled
She giggled when the man lowered his hood
"Thankyou" she smiled slowely becoming comfortable again.
"you look just fine to me." she smiled then looked to Eclipse
"its ok, Eclipse, I don't think we'll need that just yet." she smiled and then she looked out at the ocean and hummed a tune off the top of her head.

"Its not for him." He said gesturing down the beach line to a huge group of heartless coming there way. "Its for our welcome party." He said as he readied himself. Kalen saw then and pulled his keyblade off his back and readied himself as well.

Throwing his hood back on, Draxenas noted the heartless. They didn't look so tough. Out from his sleeves dropped two knives; one right into each of his hands. The knives had curved blades ((think like a spartan sword)) and he just stood there waiting in case a few managed to slip by the others. They were armed well enough for the small swarm but the threat as still there and he'd be damned if he got caught with his pants down. "I think I'd like to dissect one of those..." he said softly, more to himself without really being fully aware he'd said it. As he heard more coming in from behind himself, he spun quickly and slashed three across what would have been the throat. The shadows vanished and he brought a second knife down through another's head, kicking one boot out and stunning yet another before swinging his first knife again. In the span of 2 whole seconds, he'd vanquished 5 of them...like he'd ever be the one to be felled by the afterthoughts who'd chosen to try and flank him. The main group hadn't even reached them yet. He held his weapons each with a backhanded grip for now, although somewhere in his mind was a notion. He could make the knives extend into full swords if he wanted to. He had no idea how he knew, but he knew it just the same. But as he turned back to face the larger group of heartless, he whispered what they were under his breath. Clearly there were things he knew, even if his memories were just shy of a blank slate. "Heartless..."

"There starting there attack on the world!" Kalen said as he noticed tons of Neo-shadows comming off the mountain side down on them. They jumped off the mountain and landed all around the group as Kalen lunged and took out several as Eclipse moved to cover Sophia.

With a sigh, Rihan glanced at the heartless the way only he could. He remembered a hard fact of life."All Heartless are created when the darkness that resides in a person's heart consumes him or her, thus giving the darkness shape and form (this process occasionally forms Nobodies, which are born from the body and soul left behind when the heart is lost). Being born from darkness, they are mindless and act on instinct, their only goal to find hearts, and consume them to create more Heartless." He watched as Draxenas moved in for the kill. Nobodies were common were he came from and this one seemed powerful,yet Rihan could see he was acting on pure instinct.He seem'd fully humanoid so he must be from a strong heart.The Heartless, being mindless, usually have no master to direct their actions and instead act on the instinct to gather more hearts. Rihan would have simply commanded them,but he needed to cut down on using his power;he need it in the time. He watched as the heartless were decimated. Nobodies and Heartless at the very least, they are just as powerful, the fact the Nobodies are much more intelligent than Heartless only heightens the threat that they pose. While most would call them emotionless those born from Rihans would say the Nobodies do have emotions, but are plagued by a feeling of uncertainty and emptiness due to not having hearts. This is what Rihan deliberated internally as they were surrounded. " Hmmmm such a warm welcome. You can handle this solo can't you. " he said to Eclipse.
