*And so Xion falls here after the Toy Box fell to darkness. Quite literally. She falls right into a bush, face first. Ow- She sighs and gets up, brushing herself off* "Why did that happen? Couldn't it have spit me out literally anywhere else? Or in a more comfy manner?"
Terry
*Ikazuchi landed with his keyblade glider and stepped off of it. He was a little earlier than expected for his meetup with Suke. He slipped his phone into his pocket, having just messaged Sunset and her friends.*

*He took the helmet off of his keyblade armor and looked around.*

"Oh, Xion. Glad you made it out of there. But I didn't expect to see you here."

*Huh, very strange she would end up here of all places. Well, might as well talk a bit while waiting for Sunset or Suke to show up.*
Erik
"Huh? Oh! Heya, Ika! I landed here in the bushes over there." *She gestures to the crushed bushes behind herself, picking some leaves from her hair* "Unfortunate that world fell when we put so much effort into saving it. Unfortunately that's the way things are. Yin and Yang. Balance. For every action, there is an equal yet opposite reaction. For every world we save, another is fated to fall in return to keep the balance. Light cannot exist without Darkness and Darkness cannot exist without Light. I prefer to walk the line between both. Makes it easier to keep things balanced, ya know?"
Terry
"Yes... My master once told me something like that."

*He thought to himself for a moment, as his keyblade armor flashed and deactivated.*

"Speaking of light and darkness though... I often lend my light to others to empower them, I'm sure you remember. But during the fight, I tried to do the same as I've always done, but my light had no effect on you. I wonder why that is?"

*Ikazuchi said, genuinely curious.*
Erik
"Well... I *Did* Kinda... *Die* In the Caribbean..." *She says with a sweatdrop* "And now I apparently have no heart. I uh... Kinda was relaxing after training and a Neoshadow came out of nowhere and proceeded to murder me before I knew what happened. And before you ask why I don't act any different, it's because the me you always know is me hiding behind a mask to avoid my own undeserved self hatred. So... Yeah. My whole personality is an avoidance tactic!" *She's awfully blunt about it, isn't she?*
Terry
"Aren't Neoshadows weak to magic? How did you let that happen? More importantly... *You lost your heart???* Does that mean your heart is somewhere out there as a heartless without your body? Your heart's got no... Body-"

*Ikazuchi froze. The familiar feeling he got from Xion without a heart... It was very similar to that of Silax, that "I'm Nobody" Hooded person. But there's no way Xion could be in league with those cryptic fuckers, right? ...Right?*
Erik
"I was tired and drained and just trying to regain my reserves after basically running across the ocean for several hours and yeeting some trees across the island and into the ocean. I'm sure the same would happen to you if you'd been trying to just relax in the nice tropical air by napping! And uh... Probably? I dunno. I'm not really familiar with this stuff, y'know? I'm still me regardless of whether I have a heart or not. Not like anything really changes. You've seen that first hand. I still have my full arsenal and my Keyblade and I act the same as usual so like... Why does that matter much?"
Terry
"Fair... Very fair. Do... Do you remember that chick at the arena? That 'I'm Nobody' hooded person who made us fight Odin? The feeling I'm getting from you is almost the same, a void in heart... What if they're like you? Are you also a 'Nobody'?"
Erik
"Hmm... Yeah, that tracks. I mean... It's the most logical explanation and whatnot so I guess? You seem to know a whole lot more about things than I do so I'll let you figure things out cuz I have no real information about like... *Anything.* I just go where the waves choose to take me."
Terry
"I see. Yeah, that concept is new. A body without a heart... I guess that explains things, especially as to what even happens to a body when the heart is consumed by darkness and separated."

*Ikazuchi would take a deep breath out and sit on a bench nearby, relieved that Xion wasn't one of these mysterious bad guys... To his knowledge.*

"Sorry if I got a little shaken up, was just worried that the hooded person might've been the one behind taking your heart. A thief of hearts, who could ever dream of something like that?"
Erik
Nope. Nothing of the sorts. Just ambushed when trying to nap and assassinated by a Heartless. Feels about the same as usual just without access to a couple of things I could have used previously. I still choose the path of balance either way. And I still feel horribly empty inside and therefore behave the same. Anyways what's with the hot chick you turned into that one time? What's the explanation for her?"
Terry
"Well, turns out that's the power that comes with being a 'Princess of Heart'. My body isn't exactly... Up to standard, to wield the power, so it makes changes. And apparently the way I acted was due to my master's anti-darkness instincts merging with my own. Which... That's another thing... My master's heart rests within my own, apparently, which is even the source of the whole power. She never died, she just, faded after giving her light to me... It seems."
Erik
"So she's always inside of you. Usually it's supposed to be the other way around but I'm not judging if that's how you like it." *She jokes* "Also you're kinda hot as a chick. Though I'm admittedly kinda biased towards redheads and blondes. Too bad that's not a permanent change."
Terry
*Ikazuchi raised an eyebrow.*

"Uh... Thanks? Not erm... Really sure how to take that..."
George
Just then, Sunset would of arrived with her Teeny Ship landing a distance away from Ika and Xion. She then got out of the cockpit before walking over to the duo, although with a different Keyblade in hand with a necklace with a yellowish sun-shaped stone on it.

"Took me a bit... But im finally here after receiving that message... Anyways i am sure you got the information i said in that video right?"
