Moments after the ceremony was finished, Apollo walked over to Gilgamesh who remained standing in a daze. Either Apollo would gain his first true ally....or Gilgamesh would fall to darkness. Apollo did not have to wait long as Gilgamesh shook his head a took a moment...before he began to laugh.
"I told you....I TOLD YOU there is no weapon that can escape my desires!" Gilgamesh said, holding his Keyblade high in their air, he now felt its power surge through him.
"I'll admit, I was prepared to cut you down after your heart gave into the darkness. Guess your will was stronger than I..." Apollo started to say before a sudden sand storm came in the area. Both Apollo and Gilgamesh looked in the direction the sand storm came from, but were unable to see anything. However, both of them felt a presence; they knew this was not natural.
"Looks like we've got company, I thought you said this rock was empty?" Gilgamesh said, a tone of annoyance all to clear.
"I guess I was wrong. No matter, whoever this is will regret coming here." Apollo said matter of factly. Soon the storm subsided as a lone armored figure stood; Keyblade in hand.
"Well look at that, another one of you...I mean us Keyblade Wielders. Didn't expect to see one this early, did you?" Gilgamesh asked.
"No, but it is quite convenient. Warrior, I desire allies in my fight against darkness. Will you join the cause of the light and stand by our side?" Apollo asked the newcomer.
