[There's a much crueler expression in what can be seen of Kain's face, before he returns to the usual indifferent look.]

I have neither the time nor the patience for this. All will fall to darkness eventually anyway... if it's claimed my world, all the better, that makes our goals more readily achieved. I don't see why we cannot simply return to the world while it's under such an influence. After all... darkness strengthens, while light weakens.

Cecil... wherever you are, I'll find you and we'll finish what we started. [Actually come to think of it, he'd been suggesting this to Golbez lately anyway, so what better place to lay out his terms than this communicator?] Need I remind you that Master Golbez and I have your precious Rosa back home? You'll give us the Earth Crystal next, or else lose her forever. Those are the terms.

[ooc; Say hello to evil!Kain from the canon point of... sometime after kidnapping Rosa! He'll be being an extra jerkass to most people, so be warned. XD]

( were sorry. this 7 year old doesn't quite understand everything you're talking about here, kain... ) Sometimes its scary in the dark, though...

[Ugh why are there all these children around here? Kain sighs in annoyance.]

Those who aren't strong enough to exist in darkness are useless... and weak.

[shoopufslide.livejournal.com]

( pause. she's kind of in awe ) You sound strong. Are you a guardian?

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

...That's because I am strong, far stronger than anyone here. I'm a warrior, Golbez's most valued soldier.

[shoopufslide.livejournal.com]

Wow! Are you stronger than Sir Auron?

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

Yes. [Whoever that is.] I'm stronger than everyone else.

[shoopufslide.livejournal.com]

Even stronger than an aeon?! ( she seems excited about this one... )

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

...Even stronger than that. [...Whatever... those are.]

[shoopufslide.livejournal.com]

Wow!! Even... even the Final Aeon?!? ( is this what she's finally built up to?! )

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

...Even that.

[Who cares if he could be wrong? Zemus is stronger than anything, surely he would back him up, right?]

[shoopufslide.livejournal.com]

( she's pretty much staring now. if you look hard enough, you can almost see those sparkles in her eyes... as she whispers a -- ) Wow...

( and then, she seems to grow serious again ) Then! In that case... I need your help!

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

Why should I care to help you?

[shoopufslide.livejournal.com]

Because... because we need someone super duper strong! Someone who can beat up Sin, and send it away forever and ever!

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

Sin? [Misinterpreting that now.] No one can ever be fully absolved of their sin.

[shoopufslide.livejournal.com]

Don't say that! We can! I just... I just know we can, if we try hard enough, and believe!

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

...You sound like the rest of them.

[shoopufslide.livejournal.com]

Huh...? Like who?

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

Like that pathetic little boy I spoke to earlier.

[shoopufslide.livejournal.com]

Hey! That's not very nice. Besides, it's important to have hope, mister!

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

Well, I hope that the darkness overcomes everything.

[proteusmoon.livejournal.com]

Kain... I... [ ] I am not your enemy. We are not on the Blue Planet! Golbez does not want any crystal and you do not have Rosa! Please... come back to your senses...

[Video]

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

Then if we have neither the crystal nor Rosa, I must claim these things myself. It should be only a matter of time before he arrives.

[And the one who ultimately gives the orders, as well. Kain glares evilly at Cecil.]

I've finally come to my senses now! Face me in combat, Cecil, and let me prove who's better.

[Video]

[proteusmoon.livejournal.com]

[ ]

No. I will not. This is not a contest. And you will not find any crystals here because there are none to be had. The world was plunged into darkness! Remember!

[ ]

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

[Too bad he's already lured Rosa away. He can still be an ass and keep her from Cecil.]

That darkness is the fate of all worlds... all life will succumb to it. You, Cecil, you pathetic, soft, useless coward... even you will fall to the darkness. I'll see to that.

By the way, have you seen Rosa around lately? [There's a definite air of mocking to his tone there.]

[Video]

[proteusmoon.livejournal.com]

[ ]

You won't take her anywhere, Kain.

[ ]

And I'll save you too.

[ ]

[Video]

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

Fool. I don't need to be saved. You're the one who'll need saving once I've found you.

[Aqua stares with quiet anger behind her eyes. She never caught this man's name, but she recognises him and his distinctive armour as one of the ones she first spoke to when she arrived in the realm of light.]

...What's happened to you? Before now you spoke of saving the worlds from darkness, not destroying them.

[And what was that about Rosa? She hopes it wasn't the same kind woman she'd spoken to, otherwise she was in trouble. Why are so many strange things happening at once, and why now, of all times?]

video

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

I've come to my senses now, my true self. The light is weak...and will always inevitably fail. Darkness must conquer all.

[What a nuisance. If she becomes too much of one, he might have to go shut her up.]

video

[lightguiding.livejournal.com]

You've let darkness conquer you so easily? The light isn't weak -- you're the one who's weak!

[She's thinking along the same lines. If he's going to hurt anyone, she'll have to stop him.]

video

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

Wrong. You're as much as fool as that wimpy little brat I was speaking with earlier.

[Whoever she is, she sounds as self-righteous as Cecil and clearly in need of being shut up.]

video

[lightguiding.livejournal.com]

[Wimpy little brat...? Who is he even talking about?]

I thought you had a stronger will than that. Clearly I was mistaken.

video

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

Your trust in the light is nothing but blind, foolish arrogance. You believe it can redeem people, but you're wrong... you're all wrong. Dark is always stronger than light, and I can prove it.

video

[lightguiding.livejournal.com]

You won't prove a thing. I won't let you.

video

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

Oppose me and you'll fall to darkness.

video

[lightguiding.livejournal.com]

[Her voice is very cold, and filled with muted anger.]

I seriously doubt that. I'll prove to you light always prevails -- in combat, if need be.

video

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

Fight me and you'll inevitably fall. I doubt it'd take me long to bring you down.

video

[lightguiding.livejournal.com]

You're wasting your breath. Tell me where you are.

[She's going to be cautious of walking into a trap, but at the same time, she's not going to just let this man run rampant.]

video

[skyboundknight.livejournal.com]

...The land of dragons.

[Or at least, on the way there, carrying an unconscious Rosa along with him.]

video

[lightguiding.livejournal.com]

Then we'll settle this.

[And she abruptly cuts the feed. She's not familiar with that world, which gives him the upper hand... but she's used to battling against the odds. She'll stop this man, no matter what.]
