A fellow member has discovered a new world, your mission is to do recon in..." He paused, confusing Xion and Roxas. "...Hollow Bastion." Saïx gave them the mission report and left abruptly. "Hollow...Bastion," Roxas said. "That's a pretty grim name." "Yeah. Guess we'll find out why it's called that soon enough." They walked up to Axel before departing. He was sitting at the long table, staring at Kingdom Hearts. "Hey Axel!" Xion said. "What's up?" Roxas dittoed "Hey you two! Ready for another long day?" "Yep. Doing recon in a new world." Roxas gave Axel their mission report for him to look over. "We're kinda worried about the name though 'Hollow Bastion' doesn't sound like the most safest place to be." "..." "Axel?" …show more content…
This place is massive." "At that castle over there in distance." "Good idea. Let's get going!" Xion and Roxas traversed across the rooftops and made their way to the abandoned castle. Along their way, however, Xion spotted a group of people walking by. She stopped. "Let's see what they're saying, it looks like they might know a few things about this place." Roxas nodded. They crouched down behind a large fixture on the roof and listened in. "...Progress so far has definitely improved from last month. We've successfully restored just about every building," Said Leon, a young man with medium length, dark brown hair. Leon's attire was almost entirely black, coupled with stoic expression and scarred face, he came off as brooding and standoffish. Despite that, it didn't stop possibly the most cheery, quirky people he'd ever met to befriend him, well, cheery and quirky save for one person… "Not every building," Cloud said. He had spiky, blonde hair and wore similar attire to Leon, in fact, he had nearly the same personality as Leon, if not a little more closed off and serious. "Ansem's castle is filled with heartless. There's no way we can get rid of them." "Nor can we ever, without the keyblade." "It be nice if at least one of us could wield a keyblade," Aerith, a young woman, said. She wore a long pink dress and had a warm face along with a soft voice, constrasting the dark mood Leon and Cloud set
“Definitely not. The castle is a den of rumors, as you well know, and I’ve heard… things. Not that I engage in gossip, but it’s unavoidable. People… talk.”
"That sounds like a good idea. I will go north and east. You go south and west. Meet back here if you find anything suspicious." Adam said.
“This vent leads to a storage room that’s close to the place where Wes Rogen is.” Crislia replied, grunting as she pulled herself through the
“You would have figured it out if we had stayed,” Charles said. “I could tell by your aura when you were examining the graffiti, you were trying to decipher the meaning.”
"In there," Clawd stated firmly, gesturing to the building. "It's an old hotel, and apparently its TVC's headquarters."
The couple continued their walk to town in a comfortable silence before Roxas requested, “Hey, Xion. Can you write me another song?”
"Let's head back to the road. A cold ale and a warm hearth await us in Northpoint," he said using his staff to leverage himself up the slope. "Mayhap, we will find some clues amongst the town folk."
Eugene took the spy glass in hand. “Yep. They are looking up here sure enough. Some of them are rushing to their snowmobiles. They plan on coming up here ASAP.” Luke bent forward and brushed the snow off the snowmobile seat. Eugene did the same. “We have to get the hell out of here and now. When we get to the top of the ridge, call your dad on the walkie and tell him to have Walter get the plane ready to fly out. Tell him the rangers know we are here and are after us.”
“This is definitely the place.” I said inspecting the area. On the far end of the diamond an old equipment shack stood amidst the weeds. “And that is definitely a place for a lair.”
Eugene rose to his feet. “Sure they're over there. We've been watching both the front and the back of her place since before the sun came up.”
"That's why I wanted Piper," Percy muttered. "Her charmspeak could've stopped that." He shrugged. "But no matter. Annabeth and Nico on defense." He pointed to Thalia and Natasha. "Can I trust you two to guard the flag?"
“In a manner of speaking, I was,” Lathan replied as he looked over the area. “It was only a temporary setback luckily. But it would seem we’ve still got a matter to deal with. What information have you gleaned from the area.”
"Well, that's mighty strange." He spoke aloud as he panned the area with his squinted old eyes. “Don’t think I've ever seen the devils playground so empty and hushed."
“Well what are we going to do? What is this place anyway?” Maci asked the Grumps.
"What did your lieutenants find at the airport? Which country? They should have worked with the other teams, yet no Igigi reported contact with you."
