Agni Blackheart

Maribel: W-Well, my name is Maribel Hearn. I... actually have little idea of how I ended up here. And I just appeared in here and the monster decided to chase me, so... Argento's Battle BGM: Night Walker Then, a black flash went directly into the Shadow Stalker, pushing it a little away from the others. When that black flash returned to the ground, it was Argento, pointing his Keyblade to the giant Heartless standing in front of him. Argento: Ridiculous... foolish being... Seeing his Keyblade, the Shadow Stalker let out a high-pitched scream and then sent his chains after Argento. The latter didn't made any effort, he just turned his head and body to evade without leaving the place. Argento: Is this all you can do? Then, all chains were sent at once. With a swift movement, he evaded all of them and managed to pin them on the ground. Then, he jumped on them, ran to the Shadow Stalker and dealt a quick combination of thrusts. Maribel: He is dealing so easily with that thing. Renko: Merry!! Then, Renko came to Maribel and hugged her. After a while, she let go of her friend. Renko: Oh, thank the Gods!! I was so worried!! Maribel: Me too... I wasn't able to know what I should do... Renko: But now we should leave this to the pros. Right, Magio? Maribel: Did you say... Magio? Magio's Battle BGM: Crimson Blitz Then, a white flash assaulted the Shadow Stalker. It passed so fast through it that it looked like many lasers being shot at it. On the last slash, the flash descended and revealed itself to be Magio. Argento: You are late. Magio: And you're stubborn for not waiting me. Argento: It is not my fault. Magio; Whatever. And then, the Shadow Stalker let out a high-pitched scream once again. But now, a giant horde of other Heartless went towards Yamazaki and the others, preventing them to reach Magio, Argento and the Shadow Stalker. Argento: So, you wish a duel with us. Do not go getting so confident! Magio: Let's finish this thing and this Distortion!! Both Keybladers started to fly in the air and charged at the Shadow Stalker. Magio was the first one to attack and used a Spell Card, the way he unleashed his power. Magio: To begin wild!! Comet "Galaxy Locus!! Lasers from many colors of the known spectrum raised from the ground, surrounding the Shadow Stalker, as multi-colored big stars attacked it from many directions. Even if it is a beautiful image, the power behind those colors was big. Argento: I will do the encore! Assassination "Terre Promise"!! Charged with dark energy, Argento dashed at the Shadow Stalker and stbbed it with his Keyblade. From inside, bursts of darkness exploded, as the Stalker kept screaming at the assault both were doing.

This is some action. Still prefer Orie, btw.

BGM: Tension Rising ???: AAAAAAAAAAH!!! SOMEONE, HELP ME!!! The scream echoed through the entire Distortion. As they looked down, each person from its floor, they saw a girl running. It was Maribel, that seemed highly tired and barely breathing. Renko: That's Merry!! And then, something came after her. It was a giant, black ghost-like creature, enveloped by chains. Magio: That's... the Shadow Stalker!! Renko: That thing's after Merry!! We have to save her!! Magio: Alright, I just have to- But Magio's idea of falling down to her was broken as a barrier preventing that existed. Magio: Crap!! Darn it, I have to hurry up!! Renko: Isn't there anyway for us to move faster?! Magio: I'm doing that right now!! Hastega!! Magio casted a spell and enveloped himself and Renko on a red aura that made them move faster than usual. Magio: OK, on the mark!! Ready... set... Renko: GO!!! The two ran towards the fifth floor, where Fuyuhiko, Peko, Malin, Yamazaki and Dust were. For them, they looked like two blurrs passing by. But Magio stopped and casted Hastega on them as well. Magio: New instructions: ignore every Heartless and hurry to the last floor!! Don't ask, just follow!! Renko had already gone down and Magio chased her. There was no more time to wait: either they reached there fast or Maribel would die...

For now, these are my questions. - Let's say you will became a Servant. Which class and who would you like to be your Master? - Which is your 2nd favorite Servant class and which Servant made you like it?

Argento just heard the three of them. He didn't looked at their faces for a single moment. Even when Dusk had accused him of awakening the monster behind the Distortion, he stood with his back turned at them. Argento: ... I have no time for your little games. I will remind you that only Magio considers you all as allies. As for me, you all are nothing but a bother. And about being prepared for anything... BGM: Desire for All that is Lost With a shadow movement, Argento appeared behind Dusk. For those who did look just that hour, it would look like he attacked the hedgehog. However, what he attacked were monsters. Argento: If you want to speak about being unprepared, be prepared yourself. The Heartless are not the type to hold back when going against people. More of the Heartless came near them. Argento stood ready for attacking them. Argento: If you all wish to be my allies, then you will have to prove yourselves. He immediately went to the sixth floor without waiting the rest, leaving the few Heartless that remained for them to deal with. Argento had no patience to be around them and the faster he finished that, the faster they could split ways. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ BGM: Desire for All that is Lost plays here too The Heartless became rising near the others. Magio and Renko, who were in the third floor, were surprised by their arrival. Magio: Heartless! Renko: Aaaaah! They came out of nowhere! Magio: Stay behind me! No matter what, don't go near them! Renko: O-OK! Magio went at the Heartless, slashing them at will. The number wasn't that big, but that just sounded as a problem since they would take more of the little time they had to save Maribel. Magio: I really didn't wanted to use magic in front of everyone, but I've got no choice. Renko: (M-Magic...?!) Magio: Bind!! Raising his Keyblade, Magio trapped the Heartless in a circle of light that paralyzed them. Then, he slashed all of them at once, eliminating them. Renko: Whoa... that was incredible... Magio: Let's hurry up. Those guys will be a big bother and we don't have much time. Renko: Oh!! Y-Yes!! Both went to the gap and jumped down to the fourth floor. They were near Argento, Fuyuhiko, Malin and Dusk, but they had their Heartless to deal with as well.

BGM: Lazy Afternoons still playing Seeing how Yamazaki was right on asking that, Magio scratched his head again. Magio: Well, yeah, it's dangerous... this isn't a safe place in general... Renko: To be honest... I insisted on coming. I want to save my friend too. And for that... I disobeyed them and came too. Magio: Renko... Renko: B-But I'll be careful! I'll listen to everything you guys say! Magio felt a little worried about her, but he saw that she was clearly going to do what she said: listen to them. Magio: About the instructions, let's just say we have to get to the last floor, way below. I think it's 10 floors. Renko: Merry... I hope she's alright... Magio: I'm sure she is. Fow now, why don't we go down and follow them? Renko: OK. Magio and Renko started going through the gap as both jumped on the 2nd floor. The next gap was bit too distant. Meanwhile... in a hurry to go down, Argento already reached the fifth floor. He walked all alone, thinking about things... mainly being Magio. Argento: (Why does he always trust others so blindly? Is he so unable to detect who can actually be helpful and who is not?) Argento: (... Well, I cannot blame him for being like that. He always was soft-hearted. Maybe that is what makes people trust him so much as well...) He held and looked at his Keyblade. Argento: (If only Magio trusts me, there is no need for anyone to trust me. I just need his company.)

World: ??? Location: Dimension Distortion #1 BGM: Castle Bleck still playing Upon hearing Yamazaki's question, Argento took out his Keyblade and pointed at them. Argento: I could ask you all the same thing. Magio: H-Hey, calm down. Don't go pulling unnecessary fights. Argento: I am not going to become a babysitter!! We have lots of problems to deal with already!! Magio: Yeah, I know. But they don't look that weak at the point that we need to protect them. Renko: Anyway... shouldn't we introduce yourselves now? Argento: We do not have the time to leisure!! BGM: Lazy Afternoons Magio: Well, since we're already here, why not? Argento: Eh?! Magio: My name is Magio Toadstool. I'm an Ultima Knight. I would talk more about it, but we don't have much time. It's a pleasure to meet you all. Renko: I'm Renko Usami and... I'm just a normal human, for the most part. My friend fell here, so I came with them to get her back. Argento: ... Magio: And this is Argento Von Karmia. He's... uh... my brother. Sort of... Argento: Not pleased to even encounter with you all. Magio: He's... a little grumpy, but a nice guy, nonetheless. Argento: Well, if you are going to waste our time with these introductions, then I am going right ahead. Every second I spend time in this shared space, I lose more of my patience... Still holding his Keyblade, Argento started to go down by jumping in the gaps between each "floor". Magio scratched his head and sighed hardly. Magio: (He's always like that. I wonder what's going on...) Magio: Anyway, what about you all?

World: ??? Location: Dimension Distortion #1 BGM: Castle Bleck The Dimension Distortion. A threat to the existence of worlds itself. Its malevolous energy took form of whatever world you can imagine. Of course, it never meant to be pleasant, even if it looked like a peaceful place to stay. The trio entered on the Distortion's highest spot, seeing that it was a strange hole that only led down... Renko: T-T-This is rather c-creepy... Argento: You have the chance to go back. The entrance is still open. Renko: J-Just because I'm scared doesn't mean I'm going to step back, got it?! Argento: Fine for me. Magio is the one watching you anyway. Renko: So you're saying that you'll leave me to die?! Argento: I have little to no time for being a babysitter! This is not a game! Magio: WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP?! The discussion ended as his scream echoed in the Distortion. Magio: Geez, I don't know what will be more troublesome now. Argento: Anyway, do you feel her anywhere? Magio: She's way below. Probably on the last level of this... hole. Renko: What do you mean by "probably"?! Argento: There is a high interference blocking us from getting Maribel's full signal. Most probably, it comes from the monster behind this Distortion... Renko: B-But she's here, right?! Magio: Yeah, without a doubt, she's here. We just have to get down. Argento: Wait. Magio: What? Argento: More people are coming...

World: ??? Location: Streets near the Alley They eventually finished the Primids and Hewdra was already dealt with. After that, they moved back to Renko. BGM: Area infinitia Magio: Alright. Now that they're dealt with and Hewdra is gone too... let's go to the point. Argento: It is in the alley. Renko: Huh? Magio moved towards and inside the alley. He stopped a few meters away from them, grabbed his Keyblade and slashed thin space. However, it immediately broke and a black portal showed up. Renko: Whoa! Magio: Here it is. The Distortion. Argento: Such a horrid view. It does not combine with the ambient. In fact, it is a crime to existence itself. Magio: ... Ugh... Renko: Is he OK? Argento: That is actually a good sign. Whenever it pains him, it means someone alive is inside the Distortion. Magio: But... this was a soft pain. We have to hurry then. Argento: What about your robot friends? Are you simply going without them? Magio: I don't want to, but if the pain was soft, that can't be a true good sign. The Distortion won't close immediately, so if they're fast, they'll be able to come. Argento: If you say so. Renko: Wait! As they were heading towards it, Renko moved forward. She was determined to do something. Renko: P-Please, let me go with you! Argento: You will only be a bother if we take you along. Renko: If Maribel's inside, I wanna save her! I don't know how, but I want to! Magio: ... Argento: Let me guess. She is coming too. Magio: They're friends, I understand that she wants to come, and I really don't know if keeping her here all alone would be a good thing... Argento: ... I will leave her into your responsibility. If anything happens, it will be your fault. Argento walked and entered inside the Distortion. Renko looked at it a little worried. Renko: ... Magio: Don't worry. He's usually a nice person... sometimes... Magio: And I'll be there to protect you, so you don't have to be scared, OK? Renko: O-OK... thanks, Magio. And then, both went after him. The Distortion's entrance kept open, waiting more victims or people to interfere.

Holy... I did not see that one coming...

World: ??? Location: Streets near the Alley BGM: Fly me to the Moon (∞ Climax Mix) still playing Magio and Argento kept fighting against the Primids. It wasn't that problematic until Magio noticed a big dragon flying in the sky and some dots flying around it. Magio: Hold it. Isn't that Hewdra? Argento: ... And to think that he is a Tyrant Overlord, yet he cannot control some beast like that... Magio: Don't be so harsh on him. Plenty of demons are aiming to his throne, so it isn't his fault if some beast or another escapes to the human world... Argento: For the sake of the everlasting God, could you please stop with this?! We have to finish these Primids so we can deal with Hewdra! Magio: I think that... somethings are dealing with Hewdra right now... Argento: What somethings?! Magio: I don't know! How do you expect me to define what it is when the only thing I see is a dot?! Argento: ... Those are robots... and those robots... Upon a little more of inspection, Argento saw more colors out of these dots. Soon, the identity of them became clear and it was something that he disliked. Argento: Are you serious that THEY came to do some sort of rescue?! Magio: They... who? Argento: The "Unlimited Force"... Magio: Really? Then, that's not bad. Why you're so mad about it? Argento: The last thing I need is a bunch of loud robots. Magio: You always complain of people that come to help us. Why is that? Argento: Give me a good reason to why I should trust them. Magio: Because they're our friends. Argento: Correct that. They are YOUR friends. I never stated that I will be friend with those robots. Magio: One day you will. Now, let's finish what we have here and help them.

World: ??? Location: Streets near the Pier A lone girl walked through the streets, looking at her cellphone really worried. She picked up a certain contact and sent a message. ???: Merry, are you there? It's me, Renko. Please answer! The girl closed her phone once again and looked at the sky. Said girl of the name Renko was used to know the time just by looking at the night sky and she knew it was very late of the night. She went with Maribel in one of her trips to the unnatural, but the second girl ended up disappearing. Renko: It's the 5th voice message I sent her and I still have no answer. I'm starting to get worried. Suddenly, small black dust fell on the ground and started to take form. The dust, known as Shadow Bugs, gave form to the Primids, who looked around the area. They were on a big number, counting 50 to more. Renko: What's going on?! What are those things?! Renko backed off towards the alley near the street she was, but as soon as she moved, the Primids started to move towards her. Renko: No!! Get away from me!! But the Primids kept getting closer. Filled with fear, she looked at the sky. Renko: (P-Please...!! Someone, help me...!!!) BGM: Fly me to the Moon (∞ Climax Mix) Then, when she looked, two bikes came from the water towards the place she stood. Magio and Argento jumped from their motorcycles as they landed on the alley near the street. Landed on the middle of the Primids, they looked around. Magio: It's never that easy. I would just hope that once it won't be this big bunch... Argento: Now who is complaining? Magio: ... Touché... Argento: As you said, there is no use for complaints. Let us resolve this and go to the Distortion. Magio: ... Match to see who kills more Primids? Argento: If you insist. They went to different sides, attracting the Primids' attention. Magio attacked with normal slashes, however he mixed his Illusion techniques to confuse enemies. As for Argento, he went to a different approach, attacking enemies using a classic fencing style. Renko: (Those two... Ah!) Magio: *slashes Primid* Hmmm? Hey, you're- Upon seeing her, Magio immediately cut a way and went to Renko, who seemed really glad that they arrived. Renko: Magio! Oh, I'm so glad to see you! Magio: Renko? You're all alone...? Renko: I was with Maribel... but she disappeared... Magio: I see... she disappeared? Argento: *reappears next to Magio* There, we have our Distortion victim. Instead of talking about it, could you please help me here? *runs back to the Primids* Magio: Stay right here. If there's any need, defend yourself with this. Magio gave to Renko a little pouch. When she opened, it was filled with stardust. She didn't knew in what this would help but it was better than nothing at the moment they were. The knight soon followed to his brother's side. There was no time to waste, as Maribel might have fallen inside the Distortion...

I said to myself once: "I will let it go of Chuchoryu someday." After seeing this, today is the day.

Oh boooooy!

Arc II: Prologue Visions of an Distorted Future Location: ??? In a bridge of the city, two people were driving at high speeds. Those were Magio and Argento. Each was driving their bike, being Magio on his Sneakster and Argento on his Phantom. Argento: Is there any necessity on driving? We could have gone flying. Magio: I know, I know, but I felt like driving. And you can't disagree that it's nice to differ the ways we reach the Distortions once in a while, right? Argento: Nice or not, we are not alone on this bridge! And look at our speed! It is overboard compared to the other cars and bikes! Magio: You said that we had to hurry, so there's your reason for our high speed. Argento: Do not use my argument to justify your recklessness! Magio: It's fine. Besides, if anyone can see us, it'll be just a glimpse. Now, c'mon, we're taking a detour. Argento: *sigh*... Why, if I may ask? Magio, Because of that behind you. BGM: Riders of the Light As Argento looked back, they were being followed by a horde of Roaders, enemies from the Subspace, a place that is the inverse of their dimension. They counted at least 10 or 13 Roaders; Argento: Wonderful. Roaders from the Subspace. Magio: Now's not the perfect time for complaints. To the water! Argento: Wait, are we going to drive in the water?! Magio: I said "no complaints"! Just go! With a wild 180° spin on the middle of the bridge, Magio accelerated at all will and jumped directly at the water, without leaving his foot out of the gas. It would be impossible followeing the laws of physics, but he was truly driving as if the water was actually a road. Sighing hardly, Argento did the same movement and followed Magio through the ocean. Unfortunately, the horde jumped too and they were being able to go through the water as well. Magio: Hey, what's going on? Roaders are supposed to sink, not drive! Argento: At least we are away of the bridge. Any causalities have been evaded. Magio: Well, that surely reassures me. Now, let's go and tire them out. Argento: Would you not prefer to shoot them right here? Magio: Well, that could work too. Magio summoned his weapon, the Keyblade Destiny Fulfilled as Argento summoned his Keyblade, Fates Aligned. After holding them, both knights aimed them behind at the Roaders and used their techniques. Magio: Prism Rain!! Argento: Dark Volley!! Magio shot a salvo of lrainbow-colored orbs as Argento kept shooting dark orbs repeatedly. While Magio focused on area attacks, Argento focus on single enemies. Soon, the horde was blown away. Argento: Alright, let us keep going. If Roaders are here, it would not be any surprise to have another enemies following us. Magio: I'm already predicting a big number of Primids once we reach there, so it won't be surprising for us to be raided once we reach the ground... They kept driving through the ocean, almost reaching the ground.

Bayonetta. The mysterious figure that played the piano to make the tree grow to the window is actually your dead brother.

???: There is a fight happening not too far from here. You wish to see it? ??? 2: I'd rather not. Let's leave that stroy right on where it is. ???: If that is what you say. So, shall we go now? ??? 2: The disruption lies not too far from here. Let's keep moving. The Role-Play Paradise Arc II: Space and Time, Reality and Fantasy Main Characters Supporting Characters
