1st Assault - Arrival in Traverse Town

Where is she? You can't hide her from me forever. Where is Hikaru!?

[A childlike voice flooded onto the feed. The video only caught snatches of a wispy figure as she glided around the city.]

I- can't feel her anywhere.

[A touch of panic was filtering into the voice.]

Mother either.

If you would just let me explain, Kupo! [A moogle panted trying to catch it's breath. Finally coming to a halt the populace could get a better glimpse of the latest arrival. Her long pink hair billowed out behind her, her features were innocent enough, she was wearing a body suit and armor. Her strangest feature might have been her pointed elfen-like ears.]

Where are they? [She repeated.] I- I don't want to be alone.. not ... not again..

[Nova's voice turned thready as if she might start crying. Then without warning she turned on the moogle and drew a blade made out of light out thin air and brandished it toward the moogle]

Take me to her, NOW! Take me to Hikaru!

I will assure you violence will get you no where.

[Nova, straightened her posture and looked indignant as she surveyed the area for the source of the dissenting voice. The moogle took the opportunity to escape]

Who are you? Show yourself.

If you would be so kind as to look at the device the creature or moogle as it has been called around here was trying to give you, you'll be able to see me.

["Be so kind to"? Something about the way this person talked frustrated Nova. Nor was technology widely used in Cephiro... she looked down at the pile of items the moogle left behind. and reluctantly dug through it. She pushed aside the colored money and picked up the communicator. She turned it from side to side and looked genuinely confused.]

Don't tell me you're inside here...

No, far from it in fact. I'm actually on a different world altogether.

Mother has told me all about the other worlds. [Not quite] Are you from Chizeta, Fahren, Earth, or Autozam?

I guess out of all those I would say Earth, but adding on to that there are different variety of what we know as Earth.

That's where Hikaru comes from! [Nova's mood shifted, thinking about Hikaru made her feel excited]

I'm aware that a lot of people come from earth, but there are different varieties it seems.

I don't think moogles take to being threatened like that. If you ask nicely they will tell you.

I just want to play with Hikaru. If they tell me where to find her, then I'll leave them alone.

And did you ask them nicely?

[No]

Why should I!

Because they are the only ones who know everyone that is here. They won't tell you if you aren't nice.

Oh I'll find a way to make them talk.

Do I ahve to come over there and make sure you don't try anything.

[Not recommended Oz]

There's nothing you could do to stop me.

I could always try.

[Eagle is curious when he hears all this talk about Hikaru but the last person he expected to see was... ]

It's you, the girl from before... The one who tried to kill Lantis! How did you manage to escape the darkness?

[Finally, a familiar voice but she still had no idea what he was talking about]

I'm going to kill everyone that Hikaru loves. [A mischievous chuckle arose as she amused herself in the idea]

Including you! [Just as soon as I find out where you are..... Nova was getting frustrated by all this confusion..]

Unfortunately that won't be possible. You and I are the only ones here from that world.

[And don't think he isn't thrilled that Lantis and Hikaru are beyond your reach. ]

[Astonishment crossed the girls face]

That world? What do you mean? [Wasn't this just another alternate dimension on Cephiro? Like the ones she fought Hikaru in?]

Edited 2012-06-26 01:57 (UTC)

You- You're lying!

The moogles will tell you the same thing if you stop long enough to listen to them. You were pulled away from Cephiro and bought here to escape the darkness.

Mother wouldn't allow me to be taken! [She spat, though she didn't fully believe it]

Your mother?

[There is a touch of sympathy for that since he doesn't know the nature of her 'mother'. ]

I'm sorry but I doubt she is here either and she couldn't have prevented you from arriving here.

No. It's... It's not true. It.. it can't be true!

You- you're just trying to confuse me! This is a trick! I.. I Mother! I'm here mother, can't you hear me? I need your help.

Edited 2012-06-26 07:50 (UTC)

[There would be no answer of course. ]

I'm sorry. There is no way she would be able to hear you...

[It was finally starting to dawn on her that this man was telling the truth. No one was coming for her, no one had protected her. Mother Debonair had let her get taken and ... she was alone.... all alone... again.]

I... [Don't know what to do] I can't be alone. I don't want to be alone!

You aren't alone. Everyone here is in that same situation. We are all in this together.

[Even if you did threaten to kill him before. It is impossible not to feel sympathy for that!]

You're just saying that. [So I won't kill you...]

I'm not. We all decided to fight the heartless and try to restore the worlds together.

[More or less. This is what the King had said anyway and Eagle agrees. ]

Heartless? What are the heartless?

Dark shadowy creatures that try to steal the hearts of people or the worlds they come from. They are the reason why you are here instead of being on Cephiro.

.. But what if they try to steal Hikaru's heart?! [Hikaru belongs to me!]

I would imagine she would be strong enough to defeat them.

[It is strange that you would be worried about that. ]

There's no one of that name here, you might as well stop looking.

I didn't ask you.

[She replied snidely.]

No, you only announced this question to everyone. I was simply giving you an answer.

It's not the answer I want!

And what do you want to hear? It'll only be lies.

[Don't bother her with logic]

Just tell me how to get back to Cephiro.

You can't, it's gone.
