The castle hadn't helped him find Ban.

Instead, there had been a man there who seemed quite kingly. Not that he had been able to help him with his problems at all. He was just as far from finding Ban as when he'd entered the castle. There was no sign of the purple-glasses wearing spiky haired thief anywhere... and that made Ginji feel even worse than before.

Sighing in a rather forlorn manner, Ginji aimlessly wandered around the abandoned castle, traveling along the ramparts and looking out at the seemingly endless dark fortress. It seemed like those things called the Heartless were really running rampart here, and Ginji would often find his travels stopped by a bunch of them popping up. A good dose of electricity tended to settle them back down however.

Settling down beside a fallen watch tower, he looked out over the forest, seeing a few Large Bodies and Knights squabbling down below. The Heartless were kind of creepy, and although he didn't know a lot about them, he knew enough that he wanted to stay away from them. No need to stir up trouble...

Scanning the horizon, he brightened up slightly upon spotting a road in the distance. Maybe that led to a town? Maybe Ban would be there? It was better than just sitting around here in this dusty place, right? No one could get anywhere by doing nothing, after all. He'd find Ban, and then they would figure out what to do together. Because the S in GetBackers stood for the fact that neither of them were alone now!

Smiling, a good deal more cheerful now, Ginji began to travel backwards again, heading out of the castle. He'd find Ban, and then every thing would be fine again.

Larxene had been hopping from world to world in search of her companions. Ever since she had regained her "life" again, if you could even call it that, she had been at a loss. Where was Axel, that red-headed oaf? What about Demyx? Zexion? The other Organization members? How many were even left at this point? Larxene had so many questions, but did she really even care? She couldn't understand why she was searching so hard for them, and all that she knew was that it was her current goal. There was nothing else to do.

She stepped through a Corridor of Darkness and into the spooky forest of the Enchanted Dominion. There were Heartless everywhere. None of them seemed to mind her as she looked around. Why, in all of the worlds, did she choose this one? The ambiance? It had a certain evil charm to it. The castle may have looked grand, but the forest she stood in now could give even her the creeps. She looked around slowly, as if bored, until she saw a flash of lightning off in the distance. She could hear the pop of the Heartless as they faded into oblivion. Whatever that was, it piqued her interest. She had to see her competition.

Though instead of going to them, she hid herself in a tree. In no time at all, she could spot the blonde-haired boy traveling down the path and straight into the wilderness. Larxene grinned devilishly and pointed a finger at the path in front of him. A bolt of lightning shot down from the sky and singed the earth in front of him.

She waited to see his reaction, laughing evilly from the treetops. Whoops~ she thought, her mouth curling into an impish smile and she pressed her pointed finger against the corner of her mouth.

As he meandered down the path, taking in the... rather dull sights, he wondered what Ban was doing right now. He was probably at the Honky Tonk cafe, complaining that his idiot partner had wandered off and gotten lost again. A smile quirked at his lips at the thought before he slumped slightly. He really missed Ban. He could only hope that his other half was doing better than he was, and not wandering around a creepy forest with no idea of where he was.

Suddenly, the air tingled with the tell-tale sign of lightning. Stopping in his tracks, feeling his entire body tingling with energy in response, he looked around, before-- with a startling loud flash and a bang, the ground in front of his feet was tinged and scarred black. Startled, he took a step back and looked at the smoking mark, before studying his own hands. Did he do that? By accident? It wouldn't be the first time that it had happened but that had been rather... shocking!

Patting his hair down, which had gotten all frizzed up as a result of the electricity still lingering in the air, the blond looked around curiously, then up at the sky. It wasn't raining and he didn't sense any storm clouds in the area. Maybe it had been some kind of monster? Those weird little Heartless things, some of them seemed to be able to use magic. It had only taken getting his butt lit on fire once to prove to him that magic was absolutely real in this world.

"Is anyone there?" He called out, cupping his hands around his mouth. The Heartless didn't seem to be able to talk but if there was someone out there, it was worth a shot right? Maybe they could even lead him out of this creepy forest!
