*Fiora carefully moved about the area, wanting to be as quiet as possible as to not scare off the heartless she was hunting. She was told a heartless was here causing trouble and wanted to deal with it for them. Strange thing for her was, she could have sworn she killed a heartless like the one she was told yesterday. It acted exactly the same as the other one she dealt with. This has happened a lot but she couldn't figure out why they kept coming back. Normally dead things stay dead. Either way, keeping them under control was the best she could do.*
Gilberto
*Ikazuchi still had some time on his hands before the big meeting, so he decided to take a walk and clear his thoughts.*

*He had been to Traverse Town a few times before, and learned from a few of the locals a really neat bakery that was located off the Back Streets. He felt a little peckish, especially after the whole toybox and sunset ordeals combined. He walked through the back streets, not even really paying attention to where he was going, his mind focused on food.*
Simon
*As Ika walked through the back streets and not paying attention, a soldier heartless would appear behind him and prepare to attack, sensing his delicious and powerful heart. However as it was going to, it seemed to hesitate.*
Timothy
*Fiora didn't think anything of this and only saw someone in danger. She jumped down and fired a arrow of light at the soldier, the soldier quickly turning into a silver crystalized heart floating off to appear again another day. Fiora landed behind Ika and turned.* "Hey, be careful around here. You can die from one of those creatures y'know!"
Gilberto
*Now what would he get? A donut? Maybe some cookies so he could bring some back for Suke and Xion? Maybe he just wanted a Muffin or a Brownie— huh?*

"Huh?"

*Ikazuchi turned to face the girl, his hand still characteristically on his chin as he was lost in thought. He lowered his hand and scratched the back of his head, noticing the heartless heart floating away.*

"Oh, haha, thanks I guess. Sorry, I got a little spaced out thinking about something—"

*Speaking of spacing out, this girl seemed familiar to him. Perhaps it was because he recently visited his own memories of the past, but this girl almost reminded him of a slightly older version of...*

"...Fiora?"

*He blinked a few times. He could hardly believe it, there was another Destiny Island survivor!*
Timothy
"Well you're lucky I was on duty otherwi-huh..?" 

*Fiora wasn't that known in traverse town yet, still making a name for herself taking out the heartless. Only a handful of people knew her. She looked at Ika and would stare at his red hair, finding it looked familiar.*

"How do you know my name? And... Why do you seem so familiar..? You remind me of..! Ikazuchi?! Is that you? From the islands?"
Gilberto
"Yeah, its me, Ika. Its so good to see you! After the Island fell, well... It was hard to imagine anyone else had gotten out."

*He lowered his hand from his head and held it out for a fist bump.*

"But who knew you were here! Have you happened to run into anyone else? Xerx, Mizi or Uminami at all? I haven't seen any of them since that day."
Timothy
*Ika could see Fiora slightly spacing out* 

"I... You... You're..."

*Fiora suddenly burst into tears and practically jumped at and hugged Ika, nearly choking him.*

"You're alive!!! Ika you're actually here! I thought everyone was gone and I was alone... How are you here? What do you mean by 'the island fell'..? I only remember falling asleep and then waking up here... Some guys and a wizard taught me to defend myself and I have been here since... Everyone says they lost their world to these heartless things but I don't understand what that means... Why can't we just make a group and clear the heartless out and give people their homes back?"

*Oh this sweet naive girl...*
Gilberto
"Gak! Can't! Breathe!"

*After a few moments of strangulation, Ika took a deep breath in.*

"Now *That* Is a long story..."

*He then began to detail the events of what happened on Destiny Island, befriending Suke the Heartless, receiving Master Aria's light, facing off against Kiki and the two other beings of Pure Darkness. To the graveyard fight, to everything from then to now. He tried to explain it in the best way he could, almost sounding like Aria during her lectures. About the heartless, how keyblades are the only things capable of truly defeating them. And, well, everything he knew that she was willing to listen to.*
Simon
*About an hour later..*
Timothy
"So to get this all straight... Heartless come from the darkness in peoples hearts, and those heartless have the ability to destroy entire worlds. While anything can defeat a heartless, only a 'keyblade' can fully kill them... That explains why the ones I kill keep coming back..."

*She looked at her bow and sighed*

"Not only that, our islands got destroyed by an ex 'keyblade master' and 2 other people who had nothing but darkness in their hearts. And now heartless are swarming in every world and the only way to stop them is to find and lock the keyhole in each world to ensure the heartless can't get to it... And there is also a witch who is controlling them and kidnapping people called 'princesses of heart' which you happen to be because of your master... And these other people called Nobodies are also running around but not really doing anything..? Did I get everything? I feel like my head is going to explode..."
Gilberto
"Yeah... When you put it like that... Everything has kind of been a bit of a headache."

*He laughed a little bit.*

"But, we're close to... Something. We're finally a step ahead of the witch Maleficent thanks to Suke. We were going to go meet with an older Master and talk about our plans soon."
Timothy
"Mod-something right? Or was it Vani? No Vani was the evil one... I'm just going to write this stuff down..." 

*Fiora pulled out her gummi phone and began to put in notes.*

"I may need help fact checking everything... Leon and the gang didn't tell me much when I woke up. They wanted to tell me everything slowly so I got an easier grasp of things. I guess I was asleep for 5 years..."

*Fiora thought about the fact that the island was gone and that most of her friends and family were possibly dead or became heartless. She began to tear up again.*

"But, Ika, may I come with you? Actually wait I'll only hold you back. I can't even use one of those 'keyblades' like you can and I'll only hold you back. And if heartless comes from the darkness in hearts, what if a heartless comes from me? What if I put you in danger?"
Gilberto
*Ika moved his hands in "Settle down" Calming motion.*

"You're getting a little too ahead of yourself. We can use all the people we can get. Even if you're just weakening the heartless, just let someone with a keyblade finish it off and everything will work out a-okay."

*But speaking of an inner darkness... He hadn't sensed any from her since the two just met. Which is odd, considering he was pretty sure she was a normal whole back on the island... His eye twitched a bit as he felt his own light began to fall in-sync with her own.*

"I wouldn't worry about producing a heartless. In fact, I wouldn't worry about any darkness in your heart currently... You're... Like me. You have no darkness in your heart. A purelight."

*That does beg the question of where her other half is... But maybe she didnt have one. Hopefully... He decided that he'd cross that bridge when he got there.*
Timothy
*Fiora was confused by what Ika was saying about her. She hadn't yet learned how to connect to other people's hearts, let alone feel them. But something did feel weird when Ika mentioned it.*

"I'm... I'm a what...?"
Gilberto
"It's hard to explain... I guess.. Your heart is devoid of darkness."

*He put his hand to his chin again.*

"Actually it wasn't all that hard to explain."

*He laughed a little awkwardly and put his hands behind his head.*

"I guess its more of the how and why. And what your own understanding of it is."
Timothy
*She giggled at Ika's slip up and got reminded to before when they would hang out.* 

"That reminds me of how goofy you were on the islands. But are you sure I can come with you? You sound like you have a big group already."
Gilberto
"Heh.. I don't think Mod would mind... I hope. Well, I'm sure out of everyone going to the meeting, she'd probably be most intrigued by you, seeing as youre another purelight like me."
