It looks like a lot of places got hit hard during the invasion. The Restoration Committee is at your service if you need us. Until then, take care of yourselves.

[For a moment, it seems as if Leon might just log off there, but his expression becomes more grave.]

And Maleficent has taken back the castle here at Radiant Garden. Worse yet, she put a barrier around it so no one can get in. It's probably only a matter of time before she starts amassing another army out there. She's had it out for this place from the start. Ventus told you guys a lot about her already, but it's important you know that she was the one responsible for the ten year period Radiant Garden was lost in darkness.

Don't trust her. She's only out for herself, got it?

[He is once more accompanied - thank any god still listening in this place - by his piano.]

Her words are transparent. However, you know more of her?

[Video]

[notsquall]

Depends on what you want to know.

[Video]

[musicite]

[He frowns, at a rare loss for how to proceed. It's that similarity to Beryl that troubles him.]

What you are able to tell.

[eyeofazure]

The castle?

[WAIT A SECOND. THIS IS WHAT KAIBA WAS TALKING ABOUT.]

S-she's the one who hurt Seto?!

Video

[notsquall]

Seto? [Wait... is that the guy he was arguing with about that place? Resisting urge to facepalm.] He got hurt? He's lucky she didn't kill him.

Video

[eyeofazure]

She nearly did kill him!

What's the point behind this! Why would she just appear and do all of this?!

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

We need to come up with a plan.

[Video]

[notsquall]

Yeah, we do. I'll... probably speak to the King and see where we can go from there. I can't risk her taking Radiant Garden again.

[Video]

[blitz_acing]

We won't let her take Radiant Garden again. Or any other world! I promise you, Leon.

[restorehonour]

--Wait. Ten years?

[Zuko was going to comment on the rest, but that part struck him the most. It didn't occur to him before now that his own would could be gone for that kind of time period.]

video

[notsquall]

[Leon nods solemnly.]

That's why she has to be stopped. She's more powerful than you know.

video

[restorehonour]

[Zuko recovers quickly from his shock.] Right.

You seem to know a lot about her, though. What exactly are we up against here?

[Video]

[eagleofautozam]

Are you going to be able to do anything about her without an army yourself or maybe you do have one?

[Video]

[notsquall]

We don't have an army, so no. Most of the people here are civilians and shouldn't be fighting. I can't ask them to do that.

[Video]

[eagleofautozam]

Armies are just civilians that have received special training.
If we are going to be fighting heartless often it might be something to consider starting up. Even civilians could benefit from a little self defense training.

[watchesthesea]

Maleficent is in the castle?!

[That... she didn't expect at all.]

I'll gladly help in anyway I can, you know that right?

video;

[notsquall]

[A single nod.]

I know you will. [Pause.] Look, Kairi... As much as I don't want you to fight more than you have to, maybe I should start training you a bit. Something tells me your friends haven't exactly taught you to use that weapon of yours yet.

video;

[watchesthesea]

[She shook her head slightly.]

No, they haven't, but I understand why.

[Pausing for a moment.]

Would you really train me?

[video]

[cetra]

Radiant Garden was lost to darkness? And it was brought back?

[Tiny shiny golden wire of hope bit of hope here for her own home.]

If she was here before, how were you able to make her go? Would that work again?

[video]

[notsquall]

Yeah. Not in the best of shape, but we got it back.

Well... there was this kid. Powerful fighter and had the means to fight back the darkness. He was the one that defeated Maleficent and gave us our home back, but he's... vanished suddenly. It seems like Maleficent's only gotten stronger, too. Not sure what we'll do.

[video]

[cetra]

I see. I hope nothing's happened to him, if he's disappeared suddenly.

[She's a little thoughtful for a moment, then nods with a determined look on her face.]

I guess the only thing we can do is just fight back as hard as we can! What do I have to do to join your Restoration Committee? I think that's where I'd like to start helping!

[Video, Private]

[lightsvalkyrie]

[It's awhile after Leon makes this announcement that Rinoa responds. But, he's Squall, right? Basically, at least. She trusts him, though she's probably the only person who prefers the younger version. So after enough time for her to think about it and for him to get any other questions out of the way, she responds.]

If you want me to, I can help you. I might... be able to counter her. Back home I became a Sorceress, and we have enough power to warp time.

[Video, Private]

[notsquall]

A... Sorceress? [He's pretty stunned by the revelation. Mainly because he never would have guessed just looking at her, but... then he just smirks and laughs at himself. Seems he has a bad habit of underestimating people. He'll learn not to judge a book by its cover eventually.]

We could use all the help we can get. Sounds like you could stand up to Maleficent pretty well, but... I don't want you to get in over your head and end up hurt either.

[Video]

[gentleprincess]

I like Radiant Garden, so if I can help out...

[Well, Kaname probably wouldn't approve, but she wants to be a part of something again.]

I could help keep an eye out at night time or something?

[Video]

[notsquall]

You sure? [He blinks, studying her.] Can you fight?
