Hope that Dan takes a few days and that Zarok let us this time… I would love to stay in this bed and rest up for a long time.\"\n\"Whether that's the case or not we're stuck here regardless,\" Will stated.\n\"Still! This is a room I would take my girlfriend in… if I had one,\" told Kuran.\nThen a signal pointed at Kuran stating, 'Has a girlfriend! In the canon timeline, he didn't meet her yet!'\nKuran looked up, \"Really? Is this the best you could give us?\"\n\"Well, explaining it would involve breaking the fourth wall, and unfortunately for you, we reached that quota some time ago, so sorry,\" Will explained.\n\"Fine,\" told Kuran. \"Let's go and think what we could do while waiting for Dan… except for relaxing and resting a bit.\"\n\"That could be a good question,\" said Rena, sitting on a chair in the room. \"We will have to wait here until Dan comes back from the trip.\"\n\"Luckily I said to Eve to watch the signal on the communicator I gave Dan to help him if she spots something unusual in his travel,\" said Kairi.\n\"Backstory exchange?\" Will suggested.\n\"How about we each explain how we got into this type of mess?\" asked Edea.\n\"Why not? Stories are a good way of passing time.\"\n\"And who starts?\" asked Rena.\n\"Ladies first and who just asked,\" suggested Kuran.\n\"Okay, I start.\"\nRena began to tell that her travel began in her homeworld, Elrios, helping some partners retrieve an El stone that was stolen by some thieves, and their travel took them to a floating island named Altera, which was filled with robots named Nasods. After fighting the biggest of them, King Nasod, they recovered the El stone that they were looking for and later found Eve, who was hibernating while all this happened, and after some problems, they turned friends thanks to a partner that at times seemed to have the head in another place when acting. But time later, before of return to the continent, they spotted a type of vortex and when she went to investigate, she was sucked into it. The next thing she knew was that she was in Olympus, where she met Edea and then Kairi.\n\"Roulette to figure out who's next?\" asked Kuran.\n\"Okay,\" said Kairi.\nAnd he put a bottle down and rotated it to see who was next. And it landed on Will.\n\"Well, let's see... For starters, I was at one point a normal human who had just graduated from my high school. One day my good friend Wesley and I were hanging out when these Shadow Heartless came out of nowhere. It was kind of like when the island was consumed when Sora first started, though I doubt you remember that much,\" Will said looking at Kairi. \"Anyway, we came and found ourselves on Destiny Island where we met Sora, Riku, and my universe's Kairi. That was a huge surprise for us because... well… jeez, I can't believe I'm dropping this ball. See where we come from Sora, Riku, all of you are characters from a video game franchise…\"\nEdea whistled after hearing that and Kairi commented, \"That's… wow.\"\n\"Yeah... and I need to confess that Dan is also from a video game I know. That's the REAL reason I know about him.\"\n\"Are you telling now that Rena and Edea are from video games as well?\" wondered Kuran.\n\"If they are there from one I haven't heard about yet, but the thing is, I'm not just talking about games. I'm also talking about TV shows, movies, comics...basically any type of entertainment media,\" Will explained.\n\"Well… how does it continue?\" wondered Rena, trying to stomach this.\n\"Let's continue with the story first and then try to process all this. Anyway, after finding out… about the truth… Wesley was the first to find out that he could use a Keyblade. I was sort of a late bloomer. But it wasn't just us, there were four other guys I knew from my high school that got blasted with us. Later, we all ended up going to Yen Sid's for training... well, THEY were training. I was more contemplating why I was there. It was actually sometime during all that, that I actually got mine. Truth is I was very surprised due to the fact that I didn't really feel worthy of having it,\" Will continued before sighing. \"A part of me still wishes I hadn't. Things sort of started going south for me when Yen Sid decided to give us the Mark of Mastery. See, out of the six of us, Wesley and I were the only ones who passed. That did not sit well with the others, especially considering that we never got along to begin with. During all this was another Organization 13 plotting this one, however, did not have Xehanort as their leader, he was dealt with long before any of this. This organization wanted to purge all hearts and make everyone TRUE Nobodies. They saw me and Wes as a personal threat and even went so far as to make replicas of us to try and get rid of us. Despite all this, the others still despised me and because of the replicas, they were actually dumb enough to think we were working with them. One day I decide to confront them and….\" Will stopped burying his head in his hands.\n\"Something went terribly wrong?\" guessed Kuran.\nWill only nodded before taking a deep breath to continue, \"I had nothing against them, I was always quick to forgive people. But that day... they kept insisting that I was the bad guy. All that frustration kept building up. The next thing I knew, I blacked out. I came to when I heard Wesley calling out to me to 'Stop'. When I did, there they were, laying there… lifeless,\" the girls gasped after of hearing that. \"I... killed them… that was made clear when I saw the blood on my hands,\" he admitted.\n\"I must say that this was the moment that Null 'appeared' for the first time, right?\" Rena asked after thinking about it.\n\"Null is more than just my Heartless. He is… everything I HATE about myself,\" Will said tearing up a bit.\n\"I'm sorry…\"\n\"No reason for any of you to apologize,\" he said with a slight smile. \"Despite all that we managed to beat the new Organization. Of course, that was after months of therapy. After that Wes and I decided to make a bet on who can get the strongest. We would go our separate ways and train in our own way for two years before coming back to spar. During this, I came across this world called Paradise Forest. It's not a part of anything I know of so it was an exciting new experience for me. During that, I stumbled across this tribe of dragons known as Aura Dragons, which is what I am now. They were reluctant at first, but they came to like me, even teaching me a few things. That is until I found out about these giant monsters known as the Uroboros. They were basically the scourge of the forest, threatening everything, so I had to stop them. I fought them and managed to kill them… except I got poisoned during that fight and ended up technically dying shortly after.\"\nThey blinked after hearing that.\n\"I can't remember the details but I was told something about trying to piece my soul back together but they couldn't get enough pieces so they infused me with their life force, which they never did before and didn't know what to expect. Want to take a wild guess on what happened?\"\n\"Turned into what you are now? A half-dragon?\" asked Edea.\n\"You got it. The real kicker was by the time I was already back, they found all the pieces so they ended up crystallizing the rest and decide to let me think about what to do. Made me a new katana with it,\" Will said showing off the blade.\n\"I think you told me that part of your story before,\" told Kuran. \"As I visited your home\"\n\"I did, but now I'm telling them.\"\n\"Point. So keep on?\"\n\"Well, the only story left is how I came across the multiverse. But that's not much of a story. All I did was experiment with my time magic when I was using a Dark Corridor.\"\n\"I think you could tell what you did before we ran into each other in this one dimension… you never told me why you were with Felix and the others and what you have done,\" told Kuran.\n\"I encountered one of those giant clocks Heartless and chased after it.\"\n\"And?\" he asked.\n\"I met up with Felix. I thought if I joined them, I could figure out what they were. Can't say I was wrong.\"\n\"Well… how your story has been told, it turns off the other three, right?\" Edea asked.\n\"Yeah,\" sighed Kuran. \" Although I admit I was hoping that I finally find out what you have been doing with them in detail,\" before spinning the bottle again.\n\"Well... that's my turn now,\" shrugged Kuran. \"Let me think… I guess I am in the mess of Keyblade Wars and other stuff since birth. I was born with a very weak heart and to save my life, my father went to Maleficent somehow and she put something into me, saving my life AND starting the deep connection I have with darkness,\" He looked at the face of the others to see their reactions.\n\"You forgot the part about a certain wolf,\" Will chuckled.\n\"He is later in my life,\" told Kuran. \"I just wanted to see how the girls react before keeping on… anyway, one day my father disappeared and I met somebody named Ynsadi. He was a Keyblade Master and he realized my potential as a possible Keybearer… so he took me under his wings and started teaching and training me in the ways of the Keyblade. During that time my mother also got sick… and died. So I started living with him until one day…\" he had to pause for a moment to get up the courage to keep on. \"Ynsadi and I were training my fighting skills but suddenly a blade rammed through my master's back and he got killed… his murderer was a knight in golden armor. The head was that of a wolf with the mane of a lion. Maluz, the Hunter of Darkness and Keybearers. He spared me for some reason, leaving me behind with the dead body of Ynsadi. Well… from there I tried to track him down for several years to make him pay. One day I finally tracked him down at Hollow Bastion, but he kicked my ass again and I fled into the Dark Realm. As I returned, Hollow Bastion was under reconstruction and back at the old name Radiant Garden. Well… I had a run into some Keybearers, namely Aqua and Lea, and made my escape again,\" Kairi reacted a little after hearing Aqua's name. \"Then I traveled to different worlds looking for my own identity. Until Lea managed to track me down and later, after bargaining with a lovely tentacle face called Davy Jones we picked up Roxas as well into our own little group. From there we got to Olympus Coliseum where I first met Will. We all got into a tournament but already in the second round, I faced Maluz once more, got defeated, and in frustration I fled back into my homeworld… the Dark Plains.\"\n\"Dark Plains?\" asked Rena.\n\"I've always meant to ask but how did that place lose all its light like that?\" Will wondered.\n\"To tell you the truth? I have no clue,\" admitted Kuran. \"All I know is that this place was for centuries without any light. Heck, no human soul would have lived long there if it weren't for the protective lamps there… just nobody came to the idea they were powered by a fragment of darkness.\"\n\"What!?\" asked Kairi.\n\"Yes! The lamps that kept the people safe were powered by one of the Dark Fragments of the X-Blade,\" told Kuran. \"I learned that after it was stolen and I helped with some others to evacuate those who survived the Heartless onslaught.\"\n\"It shouldn't be THAT surprising, considering that the X-blade is a darkness that is meant to protect the light,\" Will stated.\n\"But I don't remember that we have something like that here,\" said Kairi. \"For what I know, the Keyblade can only be formed when seven lights and thirteen darkness join together. Xehanort formed Organization XIII and caused the Second Keyblade War only to recreate that weapon, succeeding in the process, but now it was destroyed again.\" She said, not wanting to say how he got the last piece to form that weapon.\n\"Actually the X-blade shattered into 20 pieces… 7 light and 13 darkness. As far I understand, the seven light pieces are inside the Princesses of Heart.\"\n\"That's the truth, for what Yen Sid told me. But the darkness is another thing. He didn't mention them, and I thought that the fact of the 13 darkness is another thing and not 13 objects,\" explained Kairi.\n\"Anyway… later I ran into the others again, and after some odd encounters, I faced Maluz a third time… defeating him after gaining my Keyblade in the middle of the fight. Later on, Aqua took Kairi and me to Mirage Arena and we trained against a clock-like heartless and while I tried to hit it, passing a Dark Corridor, the Heartless tried a time spell and Kairi hit us with the warp spell and the next thing I know was landing in the sea of a different universe of a world that gets eaten away.\"\n\"And that is when you met Will again, right?\" asked Edea.\n\"That's right,\" Will said.\n\"Yeah… there are a few more episodes but they are of private nature.\"\n\"Well, I think is the turn of one of us,\" said Kairi.\nKuran nodded and the roulette said… Kairi!\n\"Well, from where do I start? Because I warn that I have some memory problems about my childhood,\" said Kairi.\n\"That's so far common,\" told Kuran.\n\"Well, I remember only my childhood with my grandmother in Radiant Garden, but then I ended up on Destiny Island by Xehanort's Heartless' fault. there I met Sora and Riku, who turned out to be my best friends. Years later, Xehanort's Heartless schemes reached us, and using Riku, made the islands disappear at the hands of the Heartless, losing my heart and ending in Sora…\"\n\"Kairi… you can skip to after Riku became Keyblade Master,\" told Kuran. \"We know the story so far.\"\n\"Oh, well, that resumes a lot of things: After that event, I began to train with Merlin alongside Axel about how to use our keyblades and some advanced magic in a special place where time runs differently. Resuming this, the Second Keyblade War began, with Sora, Riku, Master Aqua, Ventus, Lea, King Mickey, and me, alongside Donald and Goofy.\" She said, preferring to ignore their first 'catastrophic failure'. \"We eventually managed to defeat all the members of Organization XIII, and even we were able to bring back Terra, Xion, and Roxas, even Namine at the end, but in the course of the battle, Xemnas captured me. And to complicate matters, Xehanort... destroyed me.\" She said, having doubts about naming that part.\nEveryone looked at her for a moment until they processed the information. \"WHAT?!\" Everyone asked in shock.\n\"Yes, I was shattered by Xehanort to create the X-blade. The last thing I remember is that Sora traveled through time to get me back after all that. Later of it, Sora... disappeared.\" Everyone got silent at that. \"For a whole year, everyone has been looking for Sora's whereabouts, while I forced myself to sleep trying to find a clue of where Sora was until we found that he was in some place named Quadratum, and Riku left to find him. After it, I began to train with Master Aqua with Master Yen Sid's approbation while the others looked about this place.\"\n\"When I began to train with Master Aqua, I began to have some odd dreams about a blazing tower and a dark figure chasing my grandmother and me. Without warning, Death, the true main Death and not the one here, attacked us trying to kill me, but thanks to Terra and Ventus' aid, we were able to drive him away, but there I got surprised by a mysterious woman that put… this seal on my neck,\" she said, rubbing her neck where was the seal. \"And then we got our first battle against the Fallen that were invading the world, and thanks to Larxene... Uhm, I mean Elrena, we found that the head of the attack was a priest named Shaft, and after chasing him off, we had to fight a large skeleton spider and beat it, but Shaft ran away and Elrena chased him.\"\n\"Wow… that's quite a story so far.\"\n\"And isn't over yet. After dispatching the Fallen, we informed Ansem and the others about what happened with them, but then we spotted a Succubus threatening me to not move from my world, naming the fate of my mother. It's the same Succubus we saw in the village, Kuran, the named Morrigan.\"\n\"What? Her?\" he shouted. \"That is a turn of events.\"\n\"Morrigan?\" Will asked.\n\"Somebody we saw in the village,\" told Kuran. \"Not really somebody I want to meet in person.\"\n\"After what she said to me, it never got out of my head the idea of my origin and my parents, and then I decided to take a Gummi ship to know the truth about myself. When I reached Twilight Town, I had to fight more Fallen, and then I saw a fragment of the bell tower falling over me, but seconds later I was at the side of the debris, and soon I saw that my clothes changed, and during the battle with the Fallen, I discovered that was more agile than before. Luckily, a man named Barret who I helped to find his daughter, explained to me a little about this power, and the Chocobo Form, and gave me a PDA which was the information of the Fallen, the PDA that Eve has now to inform us if needed. And thanks to Barret's help, I was able to beat the Fallen Chieftain, a large armor with a huge chained mace.\"\n\"Sometimes I really wonder how crazy things can be.\"\n\"Number one rule of the multiverse: if you can think of a scenario, it exists,\" Will answered. \"It still surprises me to know that the infamous Barret Wallace exists here.\"\n\"I know, Will,\" told Kuran. \"Like back as we got into this Dream Universe.\"\n\"Oh yeah… good times,\" he chuckled.\n\"Indeed! Wonder if we left a permanent mark…\" wondered Kuran. \"Oh, you for sure.\"\n\"You mean did YOU leave a permanent mark?\" Will corrected with a laugh.\n\"Excuse me? Can I continue?\" She interrupted them.\n\"Sorry.\"\n\"Well, after leaving Twilight Town, I reached Agrabah, where I had some problems with the Fallen and robot-like bugs created by a madman scientist named Mechanicles, but thanks to Aladdin and Genie we beat him, but not before meeting Shiva. I fought with her and won the ability to use her powers, and she helped us infiltrate Mechanicles' hideout freezing the base. Also in that world, I meet a witch named Salome, related to Morrigan, and formed a trio with a third one, a group named the Three Devil Wives. But also discovered about the Seal's origin, because one of the Four Abyssal Lords created it,\" she said and looked Will. \"If you ask, they govern the Abyss, or how you can name Hell.\"\n\"Wow…\" told Kuran. \"So…why do they have an interest in protecting you that way?\"\n\"Only one has the interest, but I have no idea of who. Well, after it, I reached Olympus, where I met Rena and Edea, and after some small problems, we got into a tournament as a team, but we had some problems. The first of that, every round had a pre-round of kill Fallen in 5 battles, and if you failed in one of them, you were disqualified. Second, we had to fight first with Elrena who chased Shaft's trace there, and she thought that in the tournament could find him, but luckily we beat her. But then came the third problem: Airy.\"\n\"Airy?\"\n\"A monster in the disguise of a fairy and an expert on fooling everyone,\" said Edea. \"Somebody who you don't want to meet unless you want the enemy to control your actions without discovering it until it is too late.\"\n\"Sounds like you have a past with her,\" guessed Kuran.\n\"Yeah.\"\n\"In the next round, we had to fight her and her real form, a massive bug-like monster that nearly killed us, but we were able to defeat her thanks to the help of each other, but when we were ready to finish her, we got the fourth problem. The tournament itself was manipulated by the third Devil Wive: Medusa, a snake woman able to petrify with her sight, and with the help of Shaft, sent against us an enraged and possessed Eidolon, Ifrit. Thanks to Hercules, we were able to escape in time of his attacks. Then we decided to fight Ifrit, and finally defeated him, and I won his powers on the way. After that, we met Eve, who followed Rena from her world and defended the Gummi Ship from the Fallen, and from that day, Eve is all day in the Gummi Ship in the Lanes Between, to protect the ship from Fallen and wild Heartless alike. After that, we began to travel together, helping worlds, beating villains, saving lost civilizations, until we ended here,\" she finished. \"From the Graveyard incident, you know everything until now.\"\n\"To which only Edea has to tell her story.\"\nEdea soon began to explain about how in her land, in Luxendark, began a policy of anti-crystalism against a religious group that honored the four crystals that hold the equilibrium of the world, and she was sent to hunt a vestal, a crystal priestess, but during the chase, discovered that the people in which she trusted had a dark face, and was forced to fight them for her own ideals, defending the vestal, Agnes Oblige, and Airy, who at that moment had no idea of who she really was, only being a small crystal fairy. With the help of two more, Tiz Arrior, a boy who survived a cataclysm, and Ringabel, a boy without memory, they began to wake the crystals that were covered in darkness, to save the world. But every time that they made the ritual to use the powers and dispel the darkness, they ended in another dimension. They repeated the process until they thought that they finally did it, but then discovered that was a trap from Airy, who served a devil god named Ouroboros, but they were able to defeat both of them and save all the worlds, soon returning to their homes. A year after the incident and repairing all the problems caused by Airy, Edea discovered that something was wandering the crystal of her land, and soon spotted her first group of Fallen trying to take the crystal, but she was able to defeat them. Then a Dark Corridor caught her, and the next thing she remembered was that she was in Olympus Coliseum. After that, all is history.\n\"That's quite a story,\" he told in surprise.\n\"Thanks. You have no idea of the problems I had with that fairy…\" said Edea.\n\"I can assume that she is quite a bitch.\"\n\"You have no idea. And it angered me to see her in that world.\"\n\"And the reason you didn't kill her was?\" asked Kuran.\n\"That's the oddest thing: she was devoured by Ouroboros by her failure.\"\n\"This guy must have a bad stomach,\" chuckled Kuran. \"But seriously, why didn't you kill her at Olympus Coliseum? That she died somehow in your last confrontation was something clear to me.\"\n\"In two words: Ifrit's interference. And the moron of Hercules saved her, without really knowing the entire story.\"\n\"He isn't the brightest, I admit,\" told Kuran. \"At least the one I met… he seriously thought I would be best buddies with Sora since I carried the Keyblade of my master Ynsadi on my back. Can you believe it? No offense Kairi, but I am not highly thinking of Sora… aside from his heroics, he doesn't have much to get my respect.\"\n\"Okay,\" said Kairi.\n\"And I kicked his butt in the tournament,\" added Kuran. \"So… now we talked about everybody's story and Dan isn't still back… anybody have another idea?\"\n\"I'm only thinking now in drinking something…\" admitted Rena.\n\"Will, do you have anything to drink?\" asked Kuran.\nWill reached into his bag and tossed a few drinks to everyone.\n\"Thanks,\" told Kuran and made cheers before drinking.\n\"Wait,\" said Rena, before of drink. \"For what we should cheer?\"\n\"I have an idea,\" Kairi said and raised her drink. \"For Sir Daniel Fortesque, a cowardly knight, with the heart of a hero.\"\n\"I hear that,\" Will laughed.\n\"For Sir Daniel! The most skinny hero I ever saw,\" told Kuran.\nWill was about to drink before remembering the scent of the drink which made him go pale, \"Uh...oh.\"\nThen they drank it, but everyone made a gesture that wasn't good.\n\"In the name of… where did you get this thing?\" asked Rena.\nKuran gulped, \"Well… that's the energy drink I told about…\"\nEdea then remembered that during the flying trip with Will and Dan she spotted his drinks and she asked about it, getting the same answer that Kuran gave to the other girls before, \"Uh… oh.\"\nMeanwhile, Dan finally reached the Dragon Island with the tiny ship, which was already sinking and the only part out the water was the mast. Luckily he got to land on the island but tripped and fell to the ground. He stood up and looked at the sunken ship, but smiled knowing that it crossed the sea at last.\nHe went deeper in the island when Al commented, \"When we meet dragon, don't be intimidated, ok? Just think of it as fire-breathing armored lizard. The size of a house,\" clearly that comment didn't help Dan.\nAfter of a short trip was able to reach the center of a volcano, where they spotted a large dragon, looking across a hole in a wall.\n\"Ohhh Lord. What do YOU want?\" asked the dragon, after scaring Dan. \"Please don't tell me you're here on a QUEST. It's incessant, it REALLY is. What - Do - You -Want?\"\n\"I've come for the dragon plate armor,\" babbled Dan to the dragon.\n\"Oh I do so LOATHE the attentions of the Great Unwashed. That diction brings tears to one's eye. E... NUN... CI... ATE!\" ordered the dragon, unable to understand Dan.\n\"The... drag... on... plate... ar... mor,\" repeated Dan.\n\"Aah, my Dragonplate armor!\" exclaimed the dragon. \"Yes, it's certainly a bold piece. Look at the line, the detail!\" he said, and Dan spotted an armor with a dragon helm over a rock. \"Tres chic… tres AMOOZONG… tres NOW. The breastplate came from my mother, you know. That woman was a SAINT.\"\n\"Give the armor to me,\" Demanded Dan, annoyed from the dragon's chit-chat.\n\"Oh… dear boy, no, no, no-no-NO. I feel for you - I really do. I mean to say, that outfit you're sporting is SO last century! But you're asking for a piece of my MOTHER. Do I come around your house demanding a slice of boiled pig's knuckle, or whatever vile creature you were spawned from?\"\n\"I'll will fight you for it…!\" Dan babbled, trying to convince him.\n\"Oh, for heaven's sake… how absolutely VULGAR! Really! This is all I need,\" he said and shook his head. \"I suppose I'll have to grill you alive like the others - but what does one DO with them after one's cooked them? I can't ABIDE tinned food…\" he said and hid in the hole, while Dan prepared to fight him.\n[INTERFERENCES CAUSED BY X-SCENES FILTER, PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT.]\n12,5%…\n25%…\n37,5%…\n50%…\n62,5%…\n75%…\n87,5%…\n100%…\n[SIGNAL RESTORED. THANKS FOR WAITING.]\nAfter a long battle, Dan was able to defeat the dragon, forcing him to hide under his wings.\n\"Enough! I'm an intellectual! I have no time for this!\" yelled the dragon. \"Here! Take my mother and go, you boogly-eyed oik!\" he said throwing the dragon armor to Dan who grabbed it.\n\"No more, please. I'm getting one of my heads,\" the dragon said turning around, slapping Dan with his tail, and literally sending Dan flying with that hit with the armor in his hands.\nWhile in the Inn, everybody was wearing only towels, the girls covering up to their breasts and the boys to their belts, while Kairi looked across the window.\n\"I only hope to not have this scene happen again,\" said Edea holding her towel, sitting on a chair. \"If my father discovers this, his yells will be heard around the world.\"\n\"Again, I'm so sorry. I should have paid attention to what I gave you,\" Will said.\n\"Let's pretend this never happened,\" suggested Kuran. \" Although I have to admit, your future husbands will be lucky.\"\n\"Thanks,\" said Rena. \"But to be safe and not repeat this again, I will confiscate all the energy drinks you BOTH have.\"\n\"I have thrown mine away at the town,\" replied Kuran. \"Will?\"\n\"I have too much to keep track of, I seriously doubt you'll be able to confiscate ALL of it,\" Will said.\n\"Are you sure?\"\n\"I have a fourth-dimensional bag that's as big as an apartment complex, do you have any idea how much of that these drinks are?\"\n\"Enough to turn a planet into a world of 'that'?\" asked Rena.\n\"...Probably. I actually haven't really checked.\"\n\"So you can start doing another bag and putting all the drinks there!\" warned Rena. \"Or I will shoot a flaming arrow inside of it!\"\n\"I'll consider it. But I'd have to talk to Merlin about it,\" Will stated.\n\"I only want to make sure that this doesn't repeat again.\"\n\"Don't worry, it won't,\" he said.\n\"Anyway, I bet that you have some of them at hand in your bag without digging yourself into it. So you can start giving them off the ones you can grab with only putting your arm.\"\n\"Sure,\" Will said before rummaging through his bag, pulling out a few handfuls of bottles, and giving them to her.\nRena put the bottles in a separate bag, \"This will make sure that you don't get that drinks by accident without digging yourself in the bag.\"\n\"You should calm down, Rena,\" Said Kairi. \"After all, it was good. We really needed that relief, after all the problems we had until now.\"\n\"It's a point, but still...\"\n\"Rena… we learned our lesson,\" told Kuran. \" how about you provide the drinks for the rest of our travel together? Then we can be sure that this isn't happening again,\" then he added as a joke. \"Unless you have been falling for one of us,\" Rena quickly gave a death glare to Kuran.\n\"Come on let's check and see if Dan's back,\" Will said.\n\"I think that will not be needed,\" suddenly said Eve from the communicator.\n\"What's happening, Eve?\" asked Edea.\n\"Well, only say to who is in the window to move aside.\"\nEdea looked at Kairi, who then began to look further at the window. Her eyes widened and moved quickly from the window, when suddenly a large object came inside flying across the window, landing on the bed, forcing whoever was there to move.\nWhen they looked at what it was, they found that was Daniel, having on his hands the dragon plate armor, with his eyes spinning around, with Al in the same state.\n\"Guys, we don't need to wait any longer here. Only the need to put our clothes before they wake up and ask what happened,\" said Kairi, looking at the dizzy skeleton.\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "Once Dan had departed to get the armor, the rest of the gang took a room in a hotel and to their luck, the biggest one was available… well… considering what was going on and that nobody was even there to charge for the room, it was really a cheap business, especially as Kuran tried the bed and sighed loudly, "Man! Hope that Dan takes a few days and that Zarok let us this time… I would love to stay in this bed and rest up for a long time."
"Whether that's the case or not we're stuck here regardless," Will stated.
"Still! This is a room I would take my girlfriend in… if I had one," told Kuran.
Then a signal pointed at Kuran stating, 'Has a girlfriend! In the canon timeline, he didn't meet her yet!'
Kuran looked up, "Really? Is this the best you could give us?"
"Well, explaining it would involve breaking the fourth wall, and unfortunately for you, we reached that quota some time ago, so sorry," Will explained.
"Fine," told Kuran. "Let's go and think what we could do while waiting for Dan… except for relaxing and resting a bit."
"That could be a good question," said Rena, sitting on a chair in the room. "We will have to wait here until Dan comes back from the trip."
"Luckily I said to Eve to watch the signal on the communicator I gave Dan to help him if she spots something unusual in his travel," said Kairi.
"Backstory exchange?" Will suggested.
"How about we each explain how we got into this type of mess?" asked Edea.
"Why not? Stories are a good way of passing time."
"And who starts?" asked Rena.
"Ladies first and who just asked," suggested Kuran.
"Okay, I start."
Rena began to tell that her travel began in her homeworld, Elrios, helping some partners retrieve an El stone that was stolen by some thieves, and their travel took them to a floating island named Altera, which was filled with robots named Nasods. After fighting the biggest of them, King Nasod, they recovered the El stone that they were looking for and later found Eve, who was hibernating while all this happened, and after some problems, they turned friends thanks to a partner that at times seemed to have the head in another place when acting. But time later, before of return to the continent, they spotted a type of vortex and when she went to investigate, she was sucked into it. The next thing she knew was that she was in Olympus, where she met Edea and then Kairi.
"Roulette to figure out who's next?" asked Kuran.
"Okay," said Kairi.
And he put a bottle down and rotated it to see who was next. And it landed on Will.
"Well, let's see... For starters, I was at one point a normal human who had just graduated from my high school. One day my good friend Wesley and I were hanging out when these Shadow Heartless came out of nowhere. It was kind of like when the island was consumed when Sora first started, though I doubt you remember that much," Will said looking at Kairi. "Anyway, we came and found ourselves on Destiny Island where we met Sora, Riku, and my universe's Kairi. That was a huge surprise for us because... well… jeez, I can't believe I'm dropping this ball. See where we come from Sora, Riku, all of you are characters from a video game franchise…"
Edea whistled after hearing that and Kairi commented, "That's… wow."
"Yeah... and I need to confess that Dan is also from a video game I know. That's the REAL reason I know about him."
"Are you telling now that Rena and Edea are from video games as well?" wondered Kuran.
"If they are there from one I haven't heard about yet, but the thing is, I'm not just talking about games. I'm also talking about TV shows, movies, comics...basically any type of entertainment media," Will explained.
"Well… how does it continue?" wondered Rena, trying to stomach this.
"Let's continue with the story first and then try to process all this. Anyway, after finding out… about the truth… Wesley was the first to find out that he could use a Keyblade. I was sort of a late bloomer. But it wasn't just us, there were four other guys I knew from my high school that got blasted with us. Later, we all ended up going to Yen Sid's for training... well, THEY were training. I was more contemplating why I was there. It was actually sometime during all that, that I actually got mine. Truth is I was very surprised due to the fact that I didn't really feel worthy of having it," Will continued before sighing. "A part of me still wishes I hadn't. Things sort of started going south for me when Yen Sid decided to give us the Mark of Mastery. See, out of the six of us, Wesley and I were the only ones who passed. That did not sit well with the others, especially considering that we never got along to begin with. During all this was another Organization 13 plotting this one, however, did not have Xehanort as their leader, he was dealt with long before any of this. This organization wanted to purge all hearts and make everyone TRUE Nobodies. They saw me and Wes as a personal threat and even went so far as to make replicas of us to try and get rid of us. Despite all this, the others still despised me and because of the replicas, they were actually dumb enough to think we were working with them. One day I decide to confront them and…." Will stopped burying his head in his hands.
"Something went terribly wrong?" guessed Kuran.
Will only nodded before taking a deep breath to continue, "I had nothing against them, I was always quick to forgive people. But that day... they kept insisting that I was the bad guy. All that frustration kept building up. The next thing I knew, I blacked out. I came to when I heard Wesley calling out to me to 'Stop'. When I did, there they were, laying there… lifeless," the girls gasped after of hearing that. "I... killed them… that was made clear when I saw the blood on my hands," he admitted.
"I must say that this was the moment that Null 'appeared' for the first time, right?" Rena asked after thinking about it.
"Null is more than just my Heartless. He is… everything I HATE about myself," Will said tearing up a bit.
"I'm sorry…"
"No reason for any of you to apologize," he said with a slight smile. "Despite all that we managed to beat the new Organization. Of course, that was after months of therapy. After that Wes and I decided to make a bet on who can get the strongest. We would go our separate ways and train in our own way for two years before coming back to spar. During this, I came across this world called Paradise Forest. It's not a part of anything I know of so it was an exciting new experience for me. During that, I stumbled across this tribe of dragons known as Aura Dragons, which is what I am now. They were reluctant at first, but they came to like me, even teaching me a few things. That is until I found out about these giant monsters known as the Uroboros. They were basically the scourge of the forest, threatening everything, so I had to stop them. I fought them and managed to kill them… except I got poisoned during that fight and ended up technically dying shortly after."
They blinked after hearing that.
"I can't remember the details but I was told something about trying to piece my soul back together but they couldn't get enough pieces so they infused me with their life force, which they never did before and didn't know what to expect. Want to take a wild guess on what happened?"
"Turned into what you are now? A half-dragon?" asked Edea.
"You got it. The real kicker was by the time I was already back, they found all the pieces so they ended up crystallizing the rest and decide to let me think about what to do. Made me a new katana with it," Will said showing off the blade.
"I think you told me that part of your story before," told Kuran. "As I visited your home"
"I did, but now I'm telling them."
"Point. So keep on?"
"Well, the only story left is how I came across the multiverse. But that's not much of a story. All I did was experiment with my time magic when I was using a Dark Corridor."
"I think you could tell what you did before we ran into each other in this one dimension… you never told me why you were with Felix and the others and what you have done," told Kuran.
"I encountered one of those giant clocks Heartless and chased after it."
"And?" he asked.
"I met up with Felix. I thought if I joined them, I could figure out what they were. Can't say I was wrong."
"Well… how your story has been told, it turns off the other three, right?" Edea asked.
"Yeah," sighed Kuran. " Although I admit I was hoping that I finally find out what you have been doing with them in detail," before spinning the bottle again.
"Well... that's my turn now," shrugged Kuran. "Let me think… I guess I am in the mess of Keyblade Wars and other stuff since birth. I was born with a very weak heart and to save my life, my father went to Maleficent somehow and she put something into me, saving my life AND starting the deep connection I have with darkness," He looked at the face of the others to see their reactions.
"You forgot the part about a certain wolf," Will chuckled.
"He is later in my life," told Kuran. "I just wanted to see how the girls react before keeping on… anyway, one day my father disappeared and I met somebody named Ynsadi. He was a Keyblade Master and he realized my potential as a possible Keybearer… so he took me under his wings and started teaching and training me in the ways of the Keyblade. During that time my mother also got sick… and died. So I started living with him until one day…" he had to pause for a moment to get up the courage to keep on. "Ynsadi and I were training my fighting skills but suddenly a blade rammed through my master's back and he got killed… his murderer was a knight in golden armor. The head was that of a wolf with the mane of a lion. Maluz, the Hunter of Darkness and Keybearers. He spared me for some reason, leaving me behind with the dead body of Ynsadi. Well… from there I tried to track him down for several years to make him pay. One day I finally tracked him down at Hollow Bastion, but he kicked my ass again and I fled into the Dark Realm. As I returned, Hollow Bastion was under reconstruction and back at the old name Radiant Garden. Well… I had a run into some Keybearers, namely Aqua and Lea, and made my escape again," Kairi reacted a little after hearing Aqua's name. "Then I traveled to different worlds looking for my own identity. Until Lea managed to track me down and later, after bargaining with a lovely tentacle face called Davy Jones we picked up Roxas as well into our own little group. From there we got to Olympus Coliseum where I first met Will. We all got into a tournament but already in the second round, I faced Maluz once more, got defeated, and in frustration I fled back into my homeworld… the Dark Plains."
"Dark Plains?" asked Rena.
"I've always meant to ask but how did that place lose all its light like that?" Will wondered.
"To tell you the truth? I have no clue," admitted Kuran. "All I know is that this place was for centuries without any light. Heck, no human soul would have lived long there if it weren't for the protective lamps there… just nobody came to the idea they were powered by a fragment of darkness."
"What!?" asked Kairi.
"Yes! The lamps that kept the people safe were powered by one of the Dark Fragments of the X-Blade," told Kuran. "I learned that after it was stolen and I helped with some others to evacuate those who survived the Heartless onslaught."
"It shouldn't be THAT surprising, considering that the X-blade is a darkness that is meant to protect the light," Will stated.
"But I don't remember that we have something like that here," said Kairi. "For what I know, the Keyblade can only be formed when seven lights and thirteen darkness join together. Xehanort formed Organization XIII and caused the Second Keyblade War only to recreate that weapon, succeeding in the process, but now it was destroyed again." She said, not wanting to say how he got the last piece to form that weapon.
"Actually the X-blade shattered into 20 pieces… 7 light and 13 darkness. As far I understand, the seven light pieces are inside the Princesses of Heart."
"That's the truth, for what Yen Sid told me. But the darkness is another thing. He didn't mention them, and I thought that the fact of the 13 darkness is another thing and not 13 objects," explained Kairi.
"Anyway… later I ran into the others again, and after some odd encounters, I faced Maluz a third time… defeating him after gaining my Keyblade in the middle of the fight. Later on, Aqua took Kairi and me to Mirage Arena and we trained against a clock-like heartless and while I tried to hit it, passing a Dark Corridor, the Heartless tried a time spell and Kairi hit us with the warp spell and the next thing I know was landing in the sea of a different universe of a world that gets eaten away."
"And that is when you met Will again, right?" asked Edea.
"That's right," Will said.
"Yeah… there are a few more episodes but they are of private nature."
"Well, I think is the turn of one of us," said Kairi.
Kuran nodded and the roulette said… Kairi!
"Well, from where do I start? Because I warn that I have some memory problems about my childhood," said Kairi.
"That's so far common," told Kuran.
"Well, I remember only my childhood with my grandmother in Radiant Garden, but then I ended up on Destiny Island by Xehanort's Heartless' fault. there I met Sora and Riku, who turned out to be my best friends. Years later, Xehanort's Heartless schemes reached us, and using Riku, made the islands disappear at the hands of the Heartless, losing my heart and ending in Sora…"
"Kairi… you can skip to after Riku became Keyblade Master," told Kuran. "We know the story so far."
"Oh, well, that resumes a lot of things: After that event, I began to train with Merlin alongside Axel about how to use our keyblades and some advanced magic in a special place where time runs differently. Resuming this, the Second Keyblade War began, with Sora, Riku, Master Aqua, Ventus, Lea, King Mickey, and me, alongside Donald and Goofy." She said, preferring to ignore their first 'catastrophic failure'. "We eventually managed to defeat all the members of Organization XIII, and even we were able to bring back Terra, Xion, and Roxas, even Namine at the end, but in the course of the battle, Xemnas captured me. And to complicate matters, Xehanort... destroyed me." She said, having doubts about naming that part.
Everyone looked at her for a moment until they processed the information. "WHAT?!" Everyone asked in shock.
"Yes, I was shattered by Xehanort to create the X-blade. The last thing I remember is that Sora traveled through time to get me back after all that. Later of it, Sora... disappeared." Everyone got silent at that. "For a whole year, everyone has been looking for Sora's whereabouts, while I forced myself to sleep trying to find a clue of where Sora was until we found that he was in some place named Quadratum, and Riku left to find him. After it, I began to train with Master Aqua with Master Yen Sid's approbation while the others looked about this place."
"When I began to train with Master Aqua, I began to have some odd dreams about a blazing tower and a dark figure chasing my grandmother and me. Without warning, Death, the true main Death and not the one here, attacked us trying to kill me, but thanks to Terra and Ventus' aid, we were able to drive him away, but there I got surprised by a mysterious woman that put… this seal on my neck," she said, rubbing her neck where was the seal. "And then we got our first battle against the Fallen that were invading the world, and thanks to Larxene... Uhm, I mean Elrena, we found that the head of the attack was a priest named Shaft, and after chasing him off, we had to fight a large skeleton spider and beat it, but Shaft ran away and Elrena chased him."
"Wow… that's quite a story so far."
"And isn't over yet. After dispatching the Fallen, we informed Ansem and the others about what happened with them, but then we spotted a Succubus threatening me to not move from my world, naming the fate of my mother. It's the same Succubus we saw in the village, Kuran, the named Morrigan."
"What? Her?" he shouted. "That is a turn of events."
"Morrigan?" Will asked.
"Somebody we saw in the village," told Kuran. "Not really somebody I want to meet in person."
"After what she said to me, it never got out of my head the idea of my origin and my parents, and then I decided to take a Gummi ship to know the truth about myself. When I reached Twilight Town, I had to fight more Fallen, and then I saw a fragment of the bell tower falling over me, but seconds later I was at the side of the debris, and soon I saw that my clothes changed, and during the battle with the Fallen, I discovered that was more agile than before. Luckily, a man named Barret who I helped to find his daughter, explained to me a little about this power, and the Chocobo Form, and gave me a PDA which was the information of the Fallen, the PDA that Eve has now to inform us if needed. And thanks to Barret's help, I was able to beat the Fallen Chieftain, a large armor with a huge chained mace."
"Sometimes I really wonder how crazy things can be."
"Number one rule of the multiverse: if you can think of a scenario, it exists," Will answered. "It still surprises me to know that the infamous Barret Wallace exists here."
"I know, Will," told Kuran. "Like back as we got into this Dream Universe."
"Oh yeah… good times," he chuckled.
"Indeed! Wonder if we left a permanent mark…" wondered Kuran. "Oh, you for sure."
"You mean did YOU leave a permanent mark?" Will corrected with a laugh.
"Excuse me? Can I continue?" She interrupted them.
"Sorry."
"Well, after leaving Twilight Town, I reached Agrabah, where I had some problems with the Fallen and robot-like bugs created by a madman scientist named Mechanicles, but thanks to Aladdin and Genie we beat him, but not before meeting Shiva. I fought with her and won the ability to use her powers, and she helped us infiltrate Mechanicles' hideout freezing the base. Also in that world, I meet a witch named Salome, related to Morrigan, and formed a trio with a third one, a group named the Three Devil Wives. But also discovered about the Seal's origin, because one of the Four Abyssal Lords created it," she said and looked Will. "If you ask, they govern the Abyss, or how you can name Hell."
"Wow…" told Kuran. "So…why do they have an interest in protecting you that way?"
"Only one has the interest, but I have no idea of who. Well, after it, I reached Olympus, where I met Rena and Edea, and after some small problems, we got into a tournament as a team, but we had some problems. The first of that, every round had a pre-round of kill Fallen in 5 battles, and if you failed in one of them, you were disqualified. Second, we had to fight first with Elrena who chased Shaft's trace there, and she thought that in the tournament could find him, but luckily we beat her. But then came the third problem: Airy."
"Airy?"
"A monster in the disguise of a fairy and an expert on fooling everyone," said Edea. "Somebody who you don't want to meet unless you want the enemy to control your actions without discovering it until it is too late."
"Sounds like you have a past with her," guessed Kuran.
"Yeah."
"In the next round, we had to fight her and her real form, a massive bug-like monster that nearly killed us, but we were able to defeat her thanks to the help of each other, but when we were ready to finish her, we got the fourth problem. The tournament itself was manipulated by the third Devil Wive: Medusa, a snake woman able to petrify with her sight, and with the help of Shaft, sent against us an enraged and possessed Eidolon, Ifrit. Thanks to Hercules, we were able to escape in time of his attacks. Then we decided to fight Ifrit, and finally defeated him, and I won his powers on the way. After that, we met Eve, who followed Rena from her world and defended the Gummi Ship from the Fallen, and from that day, Eve is all day in the Gummi Ship in the Lanes Between, to protect the ship from Fallen and wild Heartless alike. After that, we began to travel together, helping worlds, beating villains, saving lost civilizations, until we ended here," she finished. "From the Graveyard incident, you know everything until now."
"To which only Edea has to tell her story."
Edea soon began to explain about how in her land, in Luxendark, began a policy of anti-crystalism against a religious group that honored the four crystals that hold the equilibrium of the world, and she was sent to hunt a vestal, a crystal priestess, but during the chase, discovered that the people in which she trusted had a dark face, and was forced to fight them for her own ideals, defending the vestal, Agnes Oblige, and Airy, who at that moment had no idea of who she really was, only being a small crystal fairy. With the help of two more, Tiz Arrior, a boy who survived a cataclysm, and Ringabel, a boy without memory, they began to wake the crystals that were covered in darkness, to save the world. But every time that they made the ritual to use the powers and dispel the darkness, they ended in another dimension. They repeated the process until they thought that they finally did it, but then discovered that was a trap from Airy, who served a devil god named Ouroboros, but they were able to defeat both of them and save all the worlds, soon returning to their homes. A year after the incident and repairing all the problems caused by Airy, Edea discovered that something was wandering the crystal of her land, and soon spotted her first group of Fallen trying to take the crystal, but she was able to defeat them. Then a Dark Corridor caught her, and the next thing she remembered was that she was in Olympus Coliseum. After that, all is history.
"That's quite a story," he told in surprise.
"Thanks. You have no idea of the problems I had with that fairy…" said Edea.
"I can assume that she is quite a bitch."
"You have no idea. And it angered me to see her in that world."
"And the reason you didn't kill her was?" asked Kuran.
"That's the oddest thing: she was devoured by Ouroboros by her failure."
"This guy must have a bad stomach," chuckled Kuran. "But seriously, why didn't you kill her at Olympus Coliseum? That she died somehow in your last confrontation was something clear to me."
"In two words: Ifrit's interference. And the moron of Hercules saved her, without really knowing the entire story."
"He isn't the brightest, I admit," told Kuran. "At least the one I met… he seriously thought I would be best buddies with Sora since I carried the Keyblade of my master Ynsadi on my back. Can you believe it? No offense Kairi, but I am not highly thinking of Sora… aside from his heroics, he doesn't have much to get my respect."
"Okay," said Kairi.
"And I kicked his butt in the tournament," added Kuran. "So… now we talked about everybody's story and Dan isn't still back… anybody have another idea?"
"I'm only thinking now in drinking something…" admitted Rena.
"Will, do you have anything to drink?" asked Kuran.
Will reached into his bag and tossed a few drinks to everyone.
"Thanks," told Kuran and made cheers before drinking.
"Wait," said Rena, before of drink. "For what we should cheer?"
"I have an idea," Kairi said and raised her drink. "For Sir Daniel Fortesque, a cowardly knight, with the heart of a hero."
"I hear that," Will laughed.
"For Sir Daniel! The most skinny hero I ever saw," told Kuran.
Will was about to drink before remembering the scent of the drink which made him go pale, "Uh...oh."
Then they drank it, but everyone made a gesture that wasn't good.
"In the name of… where did you get this thing?" asked Rena.
Kuran gulped, "Well… that's the energy drink I told about…"
Edea then remembered that during the flying trip with Will and Dan she spotted his drinks and she asked about it, getting the same answer that Kuran gave to the other girls before, "Uh… oh."
Meanwhile, Dan finally reached the Dragon Island with the tiny ship, which was already sinking and the only part out the water was the mast. Luckily he got to land on the island but tripped and fell to the ground. He stood up and looked at the sunken ship, but smiled knowing that it crossed the sea at last.
He went deeper in the island when Al commented, "When we meet dragon, don't be intimidated, ok? Just think of it as fire-breathing armored lizard. The size of a house," clearly that comment didn't help Dan.
After of a short trip was able to reach the center of a volcano, where they spotted a large dragon, looking across a hole in a wall.
"Ohhh Lord. What do YOU want?" asked the dragon, after scaring Dan. "Please don't tell me you're here on a QUEST. It's incessant, it REALLY is. What - Do - You -Want?"
"I've come for the dragon plate armor," babbled Dan to the dragon.
"Oh I do so LOATHE the attentions of the Great Unwashed. That diction brings tears to one's eye. E... NUN... CI... ATE!" ordered the dragon, unable to understand Dan.
"The... drag... on... plate... ar... mor," repeated Dan.
"Aah, my Dragonplate armor!" exclaimed the dragon. "Yes, it's certainly a bold piece. Look at the line, the detail!" he said, and Dan spotted an armor with a dragon helm over a rock. "Tres chic… tres AMOOZONG… tres NOW. The breastplate came from my mother, you know. That woman was a SAINT."
"Give the armor to me," Demanded Dan, annoyed from the dragon's chit-chat.
"Oh… dear boy, no, no, no-no-NO. I feel for you - I really do. I mean to say, that outfit you're sporting is SO last century! But you're asking for a piece of my MOTHER. Do I come around your house demanding a slice of boiled pig's knuckle, or whatever vile creature you were spawned from?"
"I'll will fight you for it…!" Dan babbled, trying to convince him.
"Oh, for heaven's sake… how absolutely VULGAR! Really! This is all I need," he said and shook his head. "I suppose I'll have to grill you alive like the others - but what does one DO with them after one's cooked them? I can't ABIDE tinned food…" he said and hid in the hole, while Dan prepared to fight him.

After a long battle, Dan was able to defeat the dragon, forcing him to hide under his wings.
"Enough! I'm an intellectual! I have no time for this!" yelled the dragon. "Here! Take my mother and go, you boogly-eyed oik!" he said throwing the dragon armor to Dan who grabbed it.
"No more, please. I'm getting one of my heads," the dragon said turning around, slapping Dan with his tail, and literally sending Dan flying with that hit with the armor in his hands.
While in the Inn, everybody was wearing only towels, the girls covering up to their breasts and the boys to their belts, while Kairi looked across the window.
"I only hope to not have this scene happen again," said Edea holding her towel, sitting on a chair. "If my father discovers this, his yells will be heard around the world."
"Again, I'm so sorry. I should have paid attention to what I gave you," Will said.
"Let's pretend this never happened," suggested Kuran. " Although I have to admit, your future husbands will be lucky."
"Thanks," said Rena. "But to be safe and not repeat this again, I will confiscate all the energy drinks you BOTH have."
"I have thrown mine away at the town," replied Kuran. "Will?"
"I have too much to keep track of, I seriously doubt you'll be able to confiscate ALL of it," Will said.
"Are you sure?"
"I have a fourth-dimensional bag that's as big as an apartment complex, do you have any idea how much of that these drinks are?"
"Enough to turn a planet into a world of 'that'?" asked Rena.
"...Probably. I actually haven't really checked."
"So you can start doing another bag and putting all the drinks there!" warned Rena. "Or I will shoot a flaming arrow inside of it!"
"I'll consider it. But I'd have to talk to Merlin about it," Will stated.
"I only want to make sure that this doesn't repeat again."
"Don't worry, it won't," he said.
"Anyway, I bet that you have some of them at hand in your bag without digging yourself into it. So you can start giving them off the ones you can grab with only putting your arm."
"Sure," Will said before rummaging through his bag, pulling out a few handfuls of bottles, and giving them to her.
Rena put the bottles in a separate bag, "This will make sure that you don't get that drinks by accident without digging yourself in the bag."
"You should calm down, Rena," Said Kairi. "After all, it was good. We really needed that relief, after all the problems we had until now."
"It's a point, but still..."
"Rena… we learned our lesson," told Kuran. " how about you provide the drinks for the rest of our travel together? Then we can be sure that this isn't happening again," then he added as a joke. "Unless you have been falling for one of us," Rena quickly gave a death glare to Kuran.
"Come on let's check and see if Dan's back," Will said.
"I think that will not be needed," suddenly said Eve from the communicator.
"What's happening, Eve?" asked Edea.
"Well, only say to who is in the window to move aside."
Edea looked at Kairi, who then began to look further at the window. Her eyes widened and moved quickly from the window, when suddenly a large object came inside flying across the window, landing on the bed, forcing whoever was there to move.
When they looked at what it was, they found that was Daniel, having on his hands the dragon plate armor, with his eyes spinning around, with Al in the same state.
"Guys, we don't need to wait any longer here. Only the need to put our clothes before they wake up and ask what happened," said Kairi, looking at the dizzy skeleton.
