re_alignment | [Video][Open to all][The Return]

[He and his party have been returning for the last few days, a ragged, shaken group who are nevertheless still alive. They are survivors, and Megatron seems to take a sort of pride in that...walking tall and steady despite an obvious limp. A few blades are slung from his back like trophies, and one or two still have alien-looking hands attached at the hilt.]

I must admit concession to whoever told me it was folly to approach the badlands.

[Here he is. Returned. He wishes he could say it was a relief.]

You were right...

...but so was I.

[He tosses a blade down, letting it imbed in the safe soil at his feet.] Their numbers are greater than ours. If they should attack at full strength, I doubt we would last long.

So why do they not attack us yet?

[He smirks, but it's a bitter smirk.] I have a theory.

We may even be able to use it to our advantage.

Those who offered their support are welcome to this information. Those who did not? Well. We're all in this together, aren't we?

[It doesn't mean he's going to tell. Not right away.]

I'll be at the Hub if anyone wants to hear our stories. If there are any medics thinking about attending...you'll be needed.

[The ones who had come along had done amazingly given the lack of facilities and traveling circumstances, and more weren't going to hurt.]

Magic?

[He's still a little uncertain about this, wondering what sort of technology was behind it.]

You continue to prove how versatile organic creatures can be.

[A nod.]

Not sure how to explain it. I'm not nearly as good as Aqua, but I've learned enough that can be useful, so far.

I am going to venture a guess that Aqua is not a color in this case.

...

What sort of 'magic' can you do?

[He blinks, not quite wincing with the laugh that follows. Ow, ribs.]

No, she's a friend of mine, and a Keyblade master. We trained together- me, her and Terra.

I can do several elemental types, based off fire, wind, ice and thunder. And Cura- that's my healing magic.

Keyblade.

What sort of weapon is that?

[He'd always assumed you could defend yourself, just for the fact that you didn't hesitate whenever a situation was difficult. Now that he's actually getting information how HOW it works...he's completely boggled.]

Why is this not taught to more humans?

I've never shown you mine? It's...well it looks like a big key, but we use it like a sword. It can open any locks too.

...why is- oh. I don't know. I guess maybe not everyone can learn how to use magic.
