Guardians of the Gates[Eden, Stage 1]

[Kadaj]

In the distance fire and lightning caused a huge commotion in the giant forest. In the time between now and then no doubt some of the royal guardians-for-hire had sought to go make their quick buck in hunting down the intruders and taking them out.

For those who came to help the Queen of Hearts and chose to remain behind and watch the exterior of the castle, this would be their story.

A wall of the hedge maze literally exploded into dirt and green shrapnel moments before three black images burst through the hole at high speed. Riding on some strange two-wheeled contraptions were three men of varying ages, but each wearing black body suits and bearing distinct silver hair and green eyes. Each one of them bore straight for the main gate of the castle itself, not trying to use any element of stealth at all.

Apparently, the large commotion in the forest had been to draw troops away for their direct run. Card Soldiers lined the actual gate itself in many liens of course, ready to protect their queen at any cost. Those who were new to her payroll and wanted to earn some coin(Or just do the "right" thing by defending the royal) would have their chance by rushing out to meet these invaders before they got to the castle itself can could cause real harm.

"Ignore all distractions, brothers," the youngest one of them all said loudly over the roar of engines. "We go right through the gate."

If these words came to pass then it would be disastrous for Wonderland. Would anyone come to prevent this calamity?

[ Open to any three participants who have come to defend the Queen of Hearts' Castle from invaders and assassins ]

[Loz]

“Heh,” was the only reply Kadaj received from his elder brother. An arrogant sneer could be seen on the eldest, a large muscular man capable who seemed capable of taking down the castle single-handedly. On his left arm, a silver pile bunker strapped to his wrist, waiting to slam through any resisting force if needed. Revving the throttle on his motorcycle, he followed behind the one who had given them instructions, tearing the grass and flowers covering the world of Wonderland right out of its roots. If no one steps up to stop these three, they would rip Wonderland and its chaotic peace to shreds.

All the more fun for Loz.

[Yazoo]

Yazoo hung back and to the side from his younger brother, loyally. Smirking, his long silver hair whipping about him as they sped along. Twin revolvers sat upon his lower back, glimmering with the same arrogance that their owner exuded. They were antsy to send bullets tearing through the nearest enemy, but instead he held himself in an amused control. "You could hardly call them distractions." He murmured through his smirk. The silver-haired marksman eagerly anticipated something that he could take more than less of a second with. Bushes and pieces of paper were barely an effective defense. His wrists tingled with the desire to draw his weapons and start firing. Anything that wanted to present a challenge would meet a bullet.

[Dante]

As the three brothers caused havoc around the gate to the castle, a figure could be seen in the distance, an aura of gold shining faintly from its hand. On this figure's back was what seemed like a giant cleaver, the chinging of its dream sword equip being heard only by anyone close to it at the time. A guardian for the Queen, eh? It didn't sound like a bad job for the one and only Dante Hyubasi of the Shuffle Alliance. This was going to be his big break, for today, his Bursting Gaia Crusher would be put in use. The warrior watched as the three headed straight for the gate, the time for his attack being now.

Dante ran forward quickly, slamming his fist into the ground to create stone spikes the size of two of the warrior straight towards these three cyclists. This wasn't all too undodgable, really, but at the speed both of these forces were going, the momentum wouldn't allow the three intruders to stop that quickly. The force of friction was also on Dante's side, but now, only time would tell if these men would crash or be safe. Dante had another reason for saving the Queen, though. It wasn't because of his spot in the Alliance, but because he wanted to know if the Queen knew about Madam. Weird character pop up in weird places, right?

The body count, or perhaps in this case the "card count" was rising far too quickly. Innocents' hearts cried out in fear throughout Wonderland as it was being ransacked on three fronts. These pleas for aid would not go unanswered by The Sacred Guardian of Lost Hearts. It was a sickening lifestyle to sit back and listen, biding time until they too had joined his dark and dreary realm. The only hope that Ruin had ever experienced came in the form of a Keyblade. In a streak of rebelliousness to his duty, he blurred into Wonderland's reality. It was bright. The colors were so vivid to his eyes, which shifted from a pale, icy blue into a far more striking, royal shade. The Guardian appeared with his ebony staff clutched in his left hand as he surveyed the situation. His body's position seemed erratic in this world, blurring and shifting even when he was actually remaining still and vigilant.

"So this is Wonderland..."

Ruin had only ever observed the pale, lifeless memories and emotions that inhabitants of Wonderland retained after losing their hearts and coming into his domain. It seemed obvious that the three silver haired men storming the castle were the ones striking fear throughout this world...When a warrior wielding a giant clever stepped in to stall their progress, Ruin saw him as a possible ally. Still...he would be cautious, as he had learned from his time in the shadows of the minds of others that things were not always as they appeared.

"I cannot allow this to continue..."

Ruin trailed off as his ebony staff vanished, to be replaced by two ebony, armored claws which greatly resembled the one which had formerly tipped that staff he'd clutched only a moment ago. It was now he would announce his presence.

"Leave this place in peace."

The Guardian was a man of all worlds, all times, and all peoples. He had known a pale reflection of this world and its people and would defend them. His newly clawed hands scraped bladed fingertips across one another as his deep blue irises regarded the silver haired trio. His own white hair and solemn demeanor seemed beyond time and age. He was something not of this world.

[Rocket!]

[ -looks at how long this has been looking for people-

LOLWUT?

xDDD Let's get the show on the road! ]

whhhhhhhhHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

-oopmf

Without warning, a large red Gummi Ship collided with the grass that made up the ground around the gates.

It was a very space-y type of Gummi Ship, with blinkers, headlights, and the whole shebang.

However, given the back end is now three feet under, odds are it won't be in use any time soon.

BAMF!

The cockpit suddenly cracked open, and a small blue ball shot out of it, headed for the center of the commotion. Wait- that's not a ball! Half way there, the being unfurled itself.

It was a strange, short, blue creature. Landing with all four arms hitting the ground, Stitch twirl his feet up and around to a standing position in front of the gates.

Unlike his newfound companion's wholehearted goals, Stitch just wanted the biker's bikes for spare parts.

As is such, Stitch saw no need to pull out his blasters. Grinning with wild pleasure at the fun romp that was soon to follow, Stitch allowed himself a gleeful laugh.

"NeeHHHAAHAHAHAHA! MEEGA NALA QUISTA!"

No way were they getting out of a fight now.

(( Bump! ))

[Kadaj]

"The little children have come out to play," Kadaj breathed quietly, impossible to hear by even his brothers over the sounds of their own engines. Dante's spikes shot up suddenly, ready to skewer the three vehicles unless they abruptly stopped or dodged... but the gunbikes would do neither. Instead each one of the three rock masses exploded into smaller bits of debris as three glowing blue lights flashed out of the youngest brother's right hand and slammed into the obstructions just before the motorists themselves would have. The three would battered by the rocks and take a small bump where the spikes had appeared, but none of them would be deterred.

As for Dante and the stranger who had the audacity to tell them to stop, those two would quickly had to deal with the fact that the four guns mounted on the front of Kadaj's bike were starting to fire at them as he zoomed in closer. Those of his siblings' weren't likely to be far behind.

[Loz]

The motorcycle never swerved or move from its path as it tore after Kadaj, running at full speed. The three's mind seemed to communicate without the need of verbal commands. For soon the spikes were obliterated to dust by the youngest brother's attack and the three sped on, not even slowing down as they crossed the pitiful stumps of the pikes.

Like the other two, the four guns attached onto Loz's dark green motorcycle began firing at the two valiant individuals. Playmates for the slaughter, how fun.

[Yazoo]

Hesitation did not exist within Yazoo as he sped forward alongside his brother, his condescending smirk ever-visible. The whipping tendrils of his silver hair did little to obscure the determination in his eyes. He was silent, except for the occasional grunt of satisfaction as an unfortunate eight of hearts or six of spades got in their way.

I was as they drew ever closer to the gates, when the stone spikes arose from the ground, that Yazoo let out a quiet, sneering chuckle. Such an empty threat. The obstacle was quickly surpassed, and rampant machine-gun fire took over. But Yazoo just couldn't let it stop there. He drew one of his revolvers, centering it between the enemies. Either one of them looked like apt targets, and he just couldn't decide right away.

[Rocket!]

[ Guess I'll stay in, then! ]

Stitch acted immediately, charging for the bikers.

Then he noticed gun fire.

Growling, the experiment allowed himself a few more moments running time before leaping up and into the air, straight for whatever vehicle might come first.

Looks like... Yazoo!

[ Kill me, why don'cha? ]
