"You see, unlike a Heartless that has neither a body nor a mind, a Nobody has both, and like all beings with a mind, it has the ability to think for itself. While I can control other Nobodies, I can't be expected to be in control of all of them. After all, there are the occasional rogue Nobodies that do go their own way. When they defect, they are either taken care of or left to be destroyed by the Keybladers." | |

Stay out of my way, and all will be fine. Mariya and Christine will be yours, Mario will be mine, and you'll never see or hear from me ever again." With that, the Nobody disappears into a dark portal. | |

After everything begind settling down for the night Mariya takes Axel's hand and goes to find Mario. | |

With that Mariya kisses Axel's cheek and walks off, heading to her and Riana's room. Axel has a wide smile on his face. "If you don't need me backstage tomorrow, I'll sit with Roul." Axel sugests. | |

"Not unless I cast Shadow Blizzard to create a snowfall. Sure, it's weird, and sure, the Phantom will probably question it, but still, it would still be the best thing I can do without scaring the Phantom off." | |

With not so many hearts around, I am finding it easier to sense the heart of this world. However, the trouble is that it feels like I'm right on top of it. And yet, it's not here." | |

Axel then leaves, heading to the room Raoul gave him. | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (1st Oct 08 at 12:29am UTC) | | Come morning Mariya brushes her hair, hurrying. She had woken up a bit late and was rushing so she could be there before the overture. She needed to assure Christine would be safe when she took her place. Once her hair was straight she quickly gets dressed and runs out,putting on a housecoat at the same time, and to the Chappell, knowing Christine will be there.
Axel takes his seat in box five, and awaits Roul.
Raoul is in the Chappell, comforting Christine. Mariya pulls the housecoat close to her. "Raoul Christine needs to get ready." She says.
Raoul nods. "Everything will be fine Christine." He asures her. He then leaves, and goes to six in box five.
Mariya fixes Christine's hair. She then informs Christine of her plan. "Mariya I couldn't." Christine says. "I'd feel horrible if something happened."
Mariya mearly smiles, and walks out, taking Christine to her room and knocking her out. She locks the door then, and takes off her housecoat and puts a rose in her hair before making sure that even up close, Mario should think she was Christine.

She takes her place backstage, picking up the basket of roses as the play begins. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Hide your face... (1st Oct 08 at 12:31am UTC) | | | Mario, now backstage and helping organize things, sees Mariya and goes over. "Ah, Christine, there you..." he trails off, as if noticing something, but after a moment, he continues. "As I was saying, you need to get into position! The opera's about to begin!" | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (1st Oct 08 at 12:46am UTC) | | Mariya just smiles. And in the best immatation of Christine's regular voice she can immatate she says. "I had some trouble with my costume." She says before waiting. She then hears Piangi laugh. "my cue." she whispers before going out.
"No thoughts within her head but thoughts of joy, no dreams within her hearts but dreams of love." Mariya sings. The loevly sound echoes threw the audience.
A figure enters, but something seems different about him. He's covering the lower part of his face, and is wearing a black eye mask, just as Pianji had been. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Hide your face... (1st Oct 08 at 12:59am UTC) | | | Mario notices the strange figure, and after a quick moment, he recognizes the heart signature. The Phantom! Without hesitation, Mario quietly and secretly points at the ceiling over the stage. "Shadow Blizzard," he says. A small crystal of Shadow Blizzard magic flies toward the spot, shattering on contact and slowly floating down to the ground below. The signal had been made. | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (1st Oct 08 at 1:08am UTC) | | Axel alerts Raoul, who alerts the Policeman who was behind the curtain.
The cast ignores the sudden 'snow'. "Master?" Someone asks.
"Passarino - go away! For the trap is set and waits for its prey ...You have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge, in pursuit of that wish, which till now has been silent, silent ..." The Phantom puts a finger over his mouth as Mariya recognises him.
The Phantom continues to sing, and soon Mariya joins in, going up the stairs of the set. Once at the 'balcony', the Phantom spins Mariya so her back is against his chest. They continue to sing.
"Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime...lead me save me from my solitude. Say you want me with you here beside you." The Phantom turns Mariya so she's looking at him. "Anywhere you go let me go to. Chrsitine...that's all I ask of..."
Just then Mariya takes off the Phantom's mask, revealing his deformed face. Mariya's face turns to pity as everyone in the audience screams. The Phantom now notices the Police in the wings, and looks around. Suddenly he cuts a rope, and brings Mariya close to him. He then kkicks something, and the floor beneith him and Mariya fall and sends them falling into the circle below. They disaspear below the stage.
Just then, more screams are heard as the chandeleir crashes down and catches the seats on fire. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: Hide your face... (1st Oct 08 at 1:12am UTC) | | | Mario rushes in as the Phantom runs, but when he sees the chandeleir coming down, he instead runs toward it, jumping out as if to catch it. The chandeleir comes right down on top of him, and for a moment, he is unable to be seen in the middle of the fire. However, a sudden flash of cold air goes off before the fire is replaced with strange dark ice crystals, the entire chandeleir surrounded and incased in them. Some crystals shift before Mario, in his Heartless form emerges. "Okay...that hurt..." he mutters before he rushes toward the stage, jumping up and into the circle in the stage to reach the area underneath. | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (1st Oct 08 at 1:18am UTC) | | Somewhere down below, the Phantom can be heard. "Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair! Down we plunge to the prison of my mind! Down that path into darkness deep as hell! Why, you ask, was I bound and chained in this cold and dismal place? Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face! Met with hatred everywhere! No kind word from anyone! No compassion anywhere...wait....you are not Christine...."
"No." Mariya says before removing the disquise. "It's Mariya. Please....leave Christine alone...take me instead.."
"As you wish." The Phantom says, before pulling her down some stairs.
Meanwhile, Axel and Raoul assure that everyone gets out safely. Christine appears to Raoul. "Raoul what happened?" She asks.
"Christine....?" Raoul asks, confused. "She didn't..." He whispers before telling Axel of Mariya's plan.
Axel gasps and runs to the stage, jumping down into the circle. When he catches up to Mario he says. "Mariya took Christine's place." He says. | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (1st Oct 08 at 1:35am UTC) | | Suddenly the floor beneith Axel and Mario falls. Axel grabs onto the edge, and tries to pull himself up. He is unsuccessful, however.
Meanwhile Mariya comes out from behind a wall in the Phantoms lair, wearing a wedding dress. She takes a deep breath. Forgive me Axel She thinks. The Phantom is waiting, and smiles at Mariya.
He takes a veil and puts it on Mariya's head, and takes her hand. "Face your fate, my dear Mariya." | |

"Don't worry, I got you!" he says before he suddenly pulls Axel into a shadow puddle which once again travels along the walls and across the pit. Once on the other side, Mario pulls Axel out of the puddle and keeps running on after making sure Axel was okay. | |

pmwww | | Re: Hide your face... (1st Oct 08 at 1:44am UTC) | | Mariya steps away, taking off the veil. She walks to the coverd mirrors and pulls them off. "It is only in your soul that your distortion lies." She says.
There is a silence before the Phantom turns to the gate which locks them inside the lair. He smiles. "Well it seems we have a guest."
On the other side is Axel, panting. He had just arrived. "Let her go!" He shouts, looking angry.
"Why should I? She offered herself in Christine's place." The phantom say.
"Mariya....you didn't..." Axel whispers. She looks away. | |
