*Ikazuchi doffed his keyblade armor and stood near the center of the garden. Wasn't too long ago that he was last here, with his latest mistakes of not being able to prevent Elsa's world from collapsing into darkness. He looked the blank card that Silax gave him over while he waited for Suke to arrive.*
Cynthia
Suke arrived here at Traverse Town through a corridor of darkness, waving her hand to have it close behind her. Uncharcteristic of her, she had a slightly annoyed look on her face. She was preoccupied with the Gummi Phone, trying to figure out how to work the thing and was close to tossing it into the Realm of Darkness when she looked up and saw Ika here already. 

"Ikazuchi, it really is you here."
Terry
"Yo, what's up?"

*He smiled and slipped the empty playing card into his pocket, while noticing her annoyed look.*

"Haha, Having trouble with your phone again? I figured from your text."

*He laughed before walking over to Suke.*

"I haven't been here long, but thats still the crazy part... Guess im not used to traveling the lanes between quite yet. Its a little hard to keep track of where everything is, especially when you've got this thing beeping every so often that some place is in danger."

*He said as he pulled Mod's trinket out of his pocket before putting it back.*

"A little off-topic from what I wanted to say, but I think thats how we keep getting separated."

*A little embarrassed, he scratched the back of his head.*

"But anyway, how are things on your end?"
Cynthia
"I still do not understand how it works..."

Suke responded and put the phone away back in her coat pocket and then nodded in agreement. 

"Then I am glad that I did not have you waiting for so long. I have seen alot of odd things while we were seperated, like a huge talking rabbit and smoking caterpillar that turned into a butterfly."

She started to go on before thinking of the more pertinent stuff that she came across that she hadn't told him about.

"But I also met... Another person that looked like you, but only full of darkness that called himself Inaxuma. He is behind at least some of the worlds being attacked and driven into darkness as it is my second time seeing fighting him over it... And he mentioned working for a Witch of some kind."
Terry
"Inaxuma is a part of this too? Damn... I should have known."

*He pinched his brow and sighed.*

"Yes, as so I've learned. You know how my heart has an abnormal amount of light with no darkness? It seems like Inaxuma is somehow linked to all of that."

*He stopped to think.*

"The sack man from that monster town called himself Oogie Boogie, and said that he works for some kind of witch too... As well as this hooded person saying that we need to stop this witch. If Inaxuma is evolved... Then I might know who this 'Witch' actually is..."

*Ika trailed off for a moment, before he continued.*

"There's something else though... You know that strange power I tapped into here that changed my body? Its apparently linked to whatever's going on, and might be why these bad guys are after me... But, I have to try not to use these powers around you. They seem a little... Unstable. It's almost like I'm mot myself, and its like whoever takes over my body is determined to rend darkness asunder."

*Ika fished the blank playing card from his pocket.*

"I have an idea though... That hooded person gave me this card and said it would let me speak with my master... Somehow. If i use it, I might finally get some answers."
Cynthia
"So he was being truthful on being your dark half... I was not sure if he was truthful or not..."

Suke would say, it made sense in a way since Ika was pure light that darkness had to go somewhere. It did remind her of something else that Inaxuma said before he left the last time they met. 

"That does remind me... Inaxuma did say that if I wanted to continue our battle to meet him again in a place called 'Hollow Bastion'. After we met and he fled in a place called Wonderland with living playing cards and giant rabbits..."

She wasn't sure what the strange power was, but with the context assumed that it had to do with a powerful light that Ika had in him. Her gaze then settled on the card in question and what he said its purpose was. 

"Your Master? How will this card let you speak with them?"
Terry
"Yeah... Unfortunately, I lost to him, and he and this witch... Maleficent, were allowed to take over Radiant Garden. Thats how I met Mod, she pulled me out of the realm of darkness after he banished me there through a dark corridor. But if he said they share a base of operations... This Hollow Bastion may be the remnant of Radiant Garden..."

*He flipped the card over and back again, seeing if any changes were made. Nope, still just an enigma.*

"Not sure... But I'll figure it out. I have to."
