A Dark Meeting [Maleficent, Loz, Yazoo, Ava]

[Fate]

Waiting For Way Too Long
Sign

It had taken days, but they were finally going to have a meeting about what to do about this darkness tool guy. It had taken long enough in Kadaj's mind; he wanted this meeting a long time ago. Maleficent said she was going to sit down with them today and discuss what to do about this tool of darkness guy. Though, Kadaj felt that they had waited far too long. Someone else was going to get that guy first if they weren't careful. If they were lucky, no one else would have by now and they could still do something.

He was the first one in the meeting room, which turned out to be the castle's dining room of all places; well, that's what Kadaj interpreted it as. He paced around impatiently, deciding not to sit down until everyone else got here. It wasn't like this was some huge meeting with a million people anyway; it was just his two brothers, Ava and Maleficent. Besides, he always got too antsy when he stayed still for too long; he was already impatient enough as it was right now and he didn't need to make it worse.

"This had better be good," he said to himself, sounding slightly aggravated with his impatience getting the better of him. He already knew what he wanted to do as far as the darkness thing; destroy worlds and find out who this tool of darkness was. If they could get him to side with them, then that'd be good for his overall plan and probably Maleficent's too. They'd have to see what happens of course... which hopefully wouldn't be too much longer or he would go more nuts than he already was.

Here comes the kid.
For the Reunion

Ava sprinted into the room, a wide grin on his face. The Heartless accidentally ran past Kadaj the first time, but he came back over to stand next to him immediately after that. "Heya best friend. Where's the others?" He looked around. "Aww, they aren't here yet... Well, I suppose I could wait here with you for them."

He wasn't about to wait long, though. If he had to, Ava was willing to go and track down the rest of them. He was rather impatient to get this meeting going as well. "Why can't the others just hurry up and be here already? I wanna get to talk to them about things~"

(Short post, sorry)

[Loz]

Soo...

Loz was walking down the one of the dreary halls of the large castle, feeling more than a little confused.  Well, perhaps wandering would be a better word to describe it; he wasn't entirely sure where he was going.  Kadaj had said the meeting would be in some sort of "dining" room, but he had kind of forgotten to give his brother directions.  Gosh, why did the castle have to be so big, and complicated?  It was like one giant maze of hallways and staircases.  At this rate he would probably miss the entire meeting.  Not that that would really be all that upsetting.  Listening to Maleficent talk about her evil plans didn't really sound like the funnest way for Loz to be spending his time.  But apparently, the meeting wasn't optional.

Hearing voices, he figured he must have been getting close.  He walked into the room, looking back and forth.  The only two people in the room were Kadaj, and that creepy heartless guy-- whatever his name was.  "Wow, am I actually early?" he asked with surprise, to no one in particular.  Shrugging, he moved over to closet seat, and plopped down into it, then bringing his legs up onto the table.  After staring absentminded at Ava for a moment, before making a strange observation.  "Uhh... You've kind got something right..." Loz pointed lazely at his own chest, attempting to show what he was talking about.  Eventually, he just said quite simply.  "You've gotta hole.". That was about all he had to say.  Hopefully the meeting would just start soon.  The sooner it began, the sooner it could end.

Fashionably Late

Yazoo was the last of the three to enter the area where their meeting was to be held. He'd been exploring the castle some, only to find little of interest. Deciding not to waste any more time he had begun to make his way to where he was required to be, only to get there just now. After all, he was in no hurry to get there. The only ones of interest to him there were his brothers, at least as far as he knew. His opinion on that quickly changed when he saw Ava however.

"How interesting."[/color] He said giving Ava a quick look-over. He noticed the hole in Ava's chest, and thought nothing of it, merely smirking at Loz's comment about it. He silently made his way over to Kadaj and folded his arms. Hopefully this meeting would start soon, because he hated parties. And this one promised to be rather boring.[/size]

[Maleficent]

"It seems everyone has assembled. Good...." Maleficent said, announcing her presence. She appeared from the shadows, making her way towards everyone else. She had summoned Kadaj and his brothers hereto discuss what needed to be done. She noted that there was another figure there, one that intrigued her since she could tell it was a heartless though not one she had seen before. However, it was time to start the meeting, she could be intrigued later.

"Let us get started," she started off. "As you all know a figure appeared in the Marketplace. From what I have gathered, he had fought many members of that wretched Restoration Committee and had no trouble, ruining the town as well. I have also noted that many people have had an increase of darkness in their hearts which I also believe to be this person's doing," She was annoyed yet excited at the same time. On the one hand there was a power of darkness out there not under her control, yet if she could find a way to get that power...

She turned her attention to everyone there leaving her thoughts alone for the moment. "Now, I believe we should find a way to use this man somehow. He has not appeared since, but I believe he may appear again soon. I do not know much about this man, his motives unclear. However, I believe there must be someway we can convince this man to join us. You are all to be on the lookout for him and inform me at once of his arrival" she stopped, wondering if any of them actually had any information to offer. She doubted there was anything more they could add, but just in case..."Now, do any of you have any information to add about this man?"

[Fate]

I See How It Is

Kadaj chose not to answer Ava's question, especially after he heard footsteps approaching. Loz came in first and sat down, commenting on the giant hole in Ava's chest. Yazoo was next and didn't say much as usual, all three of them now waiting for Maleficent to arrive. Kadaj simply decided to pace a little more before she arrived, trying to work off his impatience. What was Maleficent even going to say during this little gathering? Yeah, they all knew that this mysterious dark guy came in and nearly wiped out Radiant Garden. Kadaj already had an idea about where to go from there, but he had to listen to Maleficent first.

The silver-haired remnant didn't even bother sitting down when Maleficent came in, only looking at her and waiting for her to speak. She told them what he already knew and then some; those Radiant Garden Restoration Committee people had some added darkness in their hearts as well as others in the world, which was sort of interesting he guessed. But what were they going to do about this guy? He kept his mouth shut, for once, and waited until she finished her little speech. Maleficent wanted to use this man just like she was currently using the three remnants and have him do some damage for her. What, Kadaj wasn't good enough for her? Sure he hadn't managed to wipe out part of Radiant Garden, but he was getting there.

"No, but I've got a question for you," he stated, wandering around the room again like he always seemed to; getting him to sit and stay still, especially when talking, was not an easy task. "You want to get this man who nearly destroyed this world and win him over without even knowing what he's trying to do." Though, he realized he shouldn't be surprised; Kadaj hadn't made his motives all that clear either when he joined Maleficent, much less outright state his loyalty. "Now, if we somehow managed to get him onto our side and work for us, what are we going to do with that?"

Admittedly, he was a bit jealous. This guy was obviously much more powerful than him since he could fight off all of those fighters at once and still manage to do a lot of damage. Maleficent clearly wanted this guy on her side and probably for good reasons; she still wanted to destroy worlds, right? Where did that leave Kadaj and his brothers then? Maleficent might not even need them anymore if she got this guy... if she did. She'd have a tough time doing that; Kadaj pretty much guessed that this guy was stronger than her and that definitely was a key point here.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING.

Ava stood there and greeted each at they entered with a nod from a head with a wide grin plastered across it. When Maleficent entered, he looked her over. She wasn't that intimidating, except for the waves of darkness emanating from her. But, besides that, she really wasn't all that scary. The Heartless decided that he would speak to her, but since Maleficent was a mouthful, he decided to shorten it a little bit.

"Hiya, Auntie Mally~" Ava said, waving with an emblemed hand. "I'm Avarice Entropy, but you can call me Ava." With the introductions over, the Heartless continued to business. "I should be able to find this guy for you, if I can get on his trail and figure out where he went. Maybe." He thought it was just much better sounding and dramatic and stuff if he added the maybe on the end. Not that Ava was not supremely confident in his abilities, which he was, but he just thought that it would sound a lot cooler.

"You don't mind that I call you Auntie Mally, do you? It's just so hard for me to say Male...Mal... See?" Then, he suddenly realized he had ignored Loz, and turned back over to look at him and his green turned slightly sheepish. "Yeah, I got this from fighting a woman with a scythe. I kinda like it. It gives people a scare when they try to attack me, and they think I'm invincible most of the time. It's real fun~"

[Loz]

Talk About Crazy

Once Yazoo finally came strolling in, it was time for the meeting to get started. As if right on cue, Maleficent immediately came appearing from the shadows. Well if she had already been there, why hadn't she made her presence known earlier? Evidently she just wanted to be the last to enter, for whatever silly reason. Then, without wasting any time, she began to speak about the tool guy, and his attack. Oh great, him again. Honestly, Loz didn't understand why everyone seemed to be making such a big fuss over this one person. So what if he managed to hold his own against Radiant Gardens little "Restoration Committee"? It's not like he actually won. Besides, those pathetic little warriors of light weren't exactly much of a challenge. The three remnants had managed to handle them just fine the other day, and no one was carrying on about how unbelievable they were.

Kadaj, wandering around the room aimlessly as he spoke, asked what exactly Maleficent planned to if she even managed to get the mysterious figure on her side. "Yeah!" Loz added in, right as his brother finished asking his question. This explanation didn't exactly contribute much to the conversation, but it at least showed that he was paying some amount of attention. It wasn't like he really needed to say much. Whatever Kadaj said, he would pretty much agree with. They didn't all have to say stuff, did they? The heartless dude-- Ava-- started talking next. It didn't take long for to decide how bizarre he was. And what was thing he kept calling Maleficent? Auntie Mally? He snickered slightly at this, despite the fact that he found it very odd. Ava then looked over at him, choosing to explain to him how he actually got that whole of his. "Uhuh..." he replied, trying to catch Yazoo's attention as he spun his index finger around beside his heard. Quite clearly displaying his opinion of the heartless's state of sanity.

[Angelus]

Yazoo simply listened as Maleficent spoke her words. Most of them meant nothing to this Remnant, after all, he listened only to Kadaj. Her orders were just secondary. When she asked about the tool of darkness, Yazoo simply shook his head. After all, he had not been there when this had happened, he had only arrived in the area shortly before his two brothers decided to pick a fight. Although it was rather entertaining watching his bullets go through that one guy's arm. By this time Kadaj had asked a question worth bringing up, and Loz apparently agreed with it. Yazoo shifted his weight to his left side, and then followed up with a very brief statement of his own.

"It deserves an answer." By this time he'd noticed Loz's attempts to get his attention, and merely smirked at what Loz was telling him. Yazoo had known right away that this Ava character was insane, and he had no quarrel with insanity. After all, it would stand to reason that the trio themselves were all insane as well. So who was he to judge?

[Maleficent]

Maleficent was hoping any of them had more information, but none of them did. She expected as much, she would have been genuinely surprised if they knew anything about this figure. She couldn't help but smirk at Kadaj's question though. She could already sense the jealousy towards that figure from him. Good...she could probably use that.

"Is it not obvious?" she asked them all, though she didn't expect an answer as she was going to explain anyway. "We will use his goals to further ours. I do not like to admit it, however we do not yet have an adequate enough force to turn this world to the darkness," She hated this fact, but it was true. They did not yet nearly have the right amount of dark forces to take this world over. The darkness had been weakening, she could see it. However, she knew that she could make it grow stronger and having this man on their side would help her accomplish that goal sooner.

"If we can convince this man to join us, we will be much closer to destroying the worlds and turning them to the darkness than we currently are," she explained. The crooked smile of hers grew wider, as she addressed what she believed Kadaj was having issues with. "After all the more forces we have the much more likely we are to succeed. Do you not agree?" Kadaj was still a useful pawn to her for now and she saw no need to be rid of him yet. Hopefully this would be a suitable enough answer for him.

She then turned her attention to the unusual heartless. She did not like the nickname, however she doubted if she said to not use it, the heartless would not listen. However, the fact it thought that it could track this figure was intriguing. Plus she liked its attitude...mostly. "If you can do what you claim, I...will put up with it," she answer it. She didn't really want to say as much, but all that really mattered was that they would be able to locate this figure.

[Fate]

All Righty Then

So even Maleficent didn't believe that they had enough forces to bring Radiant Garden down; that wasn't the answer he was expecting. She was supposed to be this Mistress of All Evil with a heck of a lot of dark power and she had four powerful pawns to help her. With all of this, they still did not have enough power to bring Radiant Garden into darkness; it was a little disappointing to Kadaj, but it wasn't like this was the only world out there. There were plenty of other worlds that could be destroyed right this very minute; all Kadaj needed to do was find them.

"Fine by me," he replied offhandedly, "We'll track down this tool of darkness for you and we'll convince him to join us." He looked to his brothers when he said that; the three of them together were an almost unstoppable force. Even then, this guy was with the darkness. He had to be at least somewhat willing to work with Maleficent and these guys; they shouldn't have to do too much convincing. The hard part would just be tracking him down.

Was there anything else that he needed to say at this point? Yeah, he liked to talk a lot on occasion, but meetings like this weren't his style; he was a man of action and would much rather be doing something than sitting here talking... That brought up a thought in his head. Those words were what he had told Mickey, who seemed to be Maleficent's adversary. They needed to watch out for that annoying little mouse; he put up a good fight and he obviously knew what he was doing.

"We should make sure Mickey doesn't get word of what we're doing," he said, his tone dropping in pitch, "He's already trying to destroy the darkness before we get too out of hand." That was a slight stretch of words of course, but Kadaj was known for that. Mickey had said that he would work with the darkness, at least to some extent, to restore the balance. However, Kadaj wasn't interested in balance; he wanted the light destroyed.

"As long as brother says to do it, I will do so."[/color] Yazoo said in response to Kadaj's and Maleficent's statments. He shifted his weight back to the other leg, and sighed. This meeting was dull, there was no excitement to it, then again, few things excited this young warrior anymore. He supposed his skills at fighting and his lack of a true personality were to blame perhaps. But Yazoo knew two things for certain. The first was that this tool of the darkness was powerful enough to take on the rgrc alone, and that made him a valuable ally; or in his opinion, an interesting opponent. The second was that these three took on a handful of the RGRC and did alright, though if more had been there they would have been in trouble. The trio was strong, but not that strong. Which was something the trio hoped to change by allying with this witch.[/size]

My Auntie Mally is evil, vicious, scheming, and cruel.
Needless to say, she's my favorite aunt~

Ava nodded, the vicious grin resplendent on his face. "I can do it, Auntie." A serious look presented itself upon his face. After all, he couldn't let his dear Aunt Maleficent down, now could he? Looking over at his best friend, Ava listened to the rest of what his friend was saying. Kadaj did have a point, these kinds of things could drag on. He could tell from the slight tone of boredom in his friend's voice that Kadaj wanted the meeting to end soon.

Of course, then he mentioned Mickey. Ava didn't know who this Mickey was, but Kadaj seemed to hold him in contempt, so the Heartless decided to hate the guy too. "I might be able to take care of that problem later on. He might be fun to play with." He might even last a while! Ava's excited thoughts jumped with joy. Of course, his priority was finding the darkness-man, but once he had done that, he could go and kill this Mickey.

I wonder what his Heartless would look like? It would be rather interesting to find out after he had torn the man's heart out. Darkness would devour the heart, and he would then kill the resulting Heartless by stealing it's stored heart and swallowing it. They were always better tasting after they'd been soaked in darkness for a short time. The darkness had a marinating aspect to it that was just delightful.

[Loz]

Ready to Go

What was Maleficent trying to say? So what, she didn't think that they were powerful enough to conquer Radiant Garden all by themselves? Please, the three remnants were practically capable of doing the job themselves. And with the "powerful" witch and her armies of heartless, there should be no problem, right? Sure, having this other guy on their side might be sorta helpful, but it wasn't as if they really needed him. Crossing his arms, Loz looked away sulkily. Personally, he was somewhat offended by the lack of faith Maleficent seemed to have in them. Not that it really mattered what she thought, but still... He didn't like having someone question their strength.

Surprisingly enough, Kadaj wasn't very bothered by this statement, or at least if he was, he didn't show it. Casually, he agreed that the brothers would help to track down the Tool, and convince him to join them. His voice as uncaring as ever, Yazoo acknowledged the decision, making it clear that he would go along with whatever Kadaj chose. "Yeeah, okay..." Loz said with a yawn, leaning his chair back onto the back two legs. Apparently this Ava intended to assist in the search for the target too. Well, despite the fact that he appeared to be completely insane, Loz guessed he was fine with that. Just as long as he didn't get in the remnants' way...

"Soo... are we done here yet?" he asked, evidently becoming increasingly restless. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he was getting to find the tool of darkness. If he was half as strong as people were acting, he would be a pretty fun opponent. Besides, if they could defeat him, it would show everyone who was really the toughest of the darkness. Of course, the mission may have been to talk to him, but chances were things would get heated. And sometimes the fists could be some of the best means of persuasion.

[Maleficent]

Maleficent smirked at Kadaj's response. Good, it looked like her little pawn was agreeing. By extension that meant the other two were in agreement as well, both appearing not all that interested in this meeting. It was of no consequence, almost everything that needed to be said had been said already. The little heartless also reassured Maleficent that it could do what it said. "Very well," she said to it. If it started thinking of her as "family" then perhaps she could use that to her advantage.

Kadaj also mentioned that wretched King. "Yes....the king could be quite troublesome," she answered in agreement. "However, it will not matter once we get this man on our side. That is top priority. However, feel free to take care of him if he interferes" She then decided to answer Loz's question. "There is one last thing. It has only been a few times, but I have sense members of Organization XII are back. They are shrouded in black cloaks. If you meet one of these members, show them no mercy, they too would ruin our plans,"

She wondered if any of them even knew about the Organization XII and Nobodies. Since Kadaj hadn't known about the Heartless, it must stand to reason he did not know about Nobodies as well. "They will appear to be human, but be warned. They are not, they are creatures known as Nobodies. They are able to control lesser Nobodies, and do not possess hearts, " she explained. "They should not exist and yet, they do," she then smirked wider. "That is why we should put them out of their misery,"
