Arctus swung his sword every time the Demon Tide came within reach and felt that this battle had gone on too long. They had made progress but it was just going too slow for him and he was losing ideas on how to creatively deal with the problem. Wait...no he didn't. He held out his palm to rip a Shadow from the Tide using a gravity field and caught it in his hand. Grinning, he held it over towards Karina as the Heartless squirmed and wiggled and tried to break free. It clearly was not enjoying being held as much as Arctus enjoyed squishing it. "Well...how about this!? A present!" He had told himself he wouldn't do this. But desperate times called for desperate measures. And he was desperate. Demon Tide Blue: 2,000/5,000

Arctus was at a loss for witty words. He wasn't in the mood to ramble on and he wasn't sure what to say to poke Karina's buttons to annoy her. But he was in the mood to take her up on her challenge and let a smile show in return. "What about good ol' flattery? Because the way you fight those Heartless is really lighting up my day! ...Get it? Because fire? And light? I don't know. You messed with my groove and I'm trying to find my footing here. Give me a few minutes and I'll figure something out alright? Just lemme do this one thing first." Arctus jumped up into the air rising faster and faster while his magic propelled him through the sky and sliced right through the Demon Tide and came down onto it with a second cut, crashing into the ground and landing on his feet without a scratch. Demon Tide Blue: 2,300/5,000

Thankful the device was working as expected he let out a sigh of relief and looked over to see the troubles with some horrific thing the others were having. Calling forth his keyblade he aimed it at the creature. "Cerdic watch out! Blizzard!" Without any other warning shards of ice chilled the air in the cave and hurtled straight towards the creature to strike its legs and hold it in the ground to, hopefully, slow the damned thing down. "We don't have to fight it forever! Just until the Extractor starts working!" Alder shouted as he held his keyblade in front of him. With the machine active and no more input needed from him, he was ready to fight and keep the creature at bay. He rushed to Cerdic's side to back up the fellow keyblade wielder.

Arctus then performed a quadruple backflip and punched the Demon Tide with his leg. No, he didn't do that. He wished he did though. "I. Am not. Sulking!" Arctus shouted, lifting his blade up high into the sky and bringing it down in a heavy swing that caused ripples in the fabric of space-time. His gravity magic ripped into the Demon Tide and sheared off several Shadows just as the mass of Heartless swerved to the side to avoid the concentrated center of the magical attack. Arctus blinked and breathed out. "Huh. ...That was new. ...So...what were you saying about sulking? That if I do it more you'll come closer?" Demon Tide Blue: 2,600/5,000

The remains of the destroyed Helping Hats began to reanimate and, as the group progressed, the robotic remains began to clump together and restructure their damaged frames, leaving behind the fabric of their former selves as they reassembled and cannibalized each other to fix their wrecked bodies. The resulting robot was stronger than before with no function other than to destroy anything that was deemed to pose a threat to their existence. The newly formed Killer Hats began to chase the group at a greater speed than their softer counterparts and sliced the party with their metal claws as they zoomed by. Several took a liking to Qamar and ganged up on the young woman, smashing her against the wall as they attacked. They ignored Frozone as he had not threatened them. "See!? I told you! I've seen all kinds of robo-freaks and these work on the same concept! Ignore 'em and they won't try so hard to kill you! We're almost there! Focus on running!" The faint sound of a mechanical hum could be heard echoing in the tunnels ahead as Frozone led the party forward. 40 Killer Hats joined the battle! Boreas took 17 Damage! (14/85HP) Glyde took 10 Damage! (11/60HP) Takehiko's Defender activated! Takehiko took 7 Damage! (12/85HP) Tinarah took 10 Damage! (17/60HP) Qamar was critically hit for 32 Damage!

(63/80HP)Enemies Remaining: 39 Killer Hats (10 AP) 5 Helping Hats (6 AP) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kefka had no time to react to Aria's attacks that put him on the defensive and caused his flamboyant clothes to rip in the battle. "Why you-" Before the clown could utter another word Torrin had grappled the from behind and threw Kefka to the side like a rag doll and, using it as his chance to finish the fight he used Ars Dominum, launching himself into a flurry of focused slashes that chained into one right after another before finishing the clown off with and upward cut that launched Kefka into the air that led to him slamming hard into the ground with a loud thud. Thallasa expended all of her strength attacking Incognitus, finding herself just barely on equal footing with the masked man. He had taken each blow she delivered with surprising fortitude but she could tell he was slowing down. Unfortunately for her, she knew she would run out of stamina before she could finish the job...but unfortunately for Incognitus Torrin had charged after her opponent and unleashed a series of decisive cuts powered by his form, including another use of Ars Dominum, that left Incognitus weak. She smirked and silently thanked Torrin for his assistance before performing an impressive spinning back kick that knocked her opponent to the ground for the count. Thallasa looked over to see Adalric, Illiana, and Elastigirl battling Bomb Voyage and looked down at her keyblade. She wasn't close enough to join them but she threw her keyblade at the villain, cutting him in the side. Adalric caught Thallasa's keyblade and, using both blades, struck the villain with a double diagonal cut. Thallasa's keyblade vanished from Adalric's hand and returned to Thallasa's just as Elastigirl came in to finish the job and take out Bomb Voyage with a well placed punch to the jaw. "Good work!" Elastigirl exclaimed, looking down at the three defeated villains. "I wouldn't celebrate just yet!" "Huh? Why?" Torrin motioned to the fact that the flames surrounding them had not yet vanished. "Something's keeping those magic fires up! We're not done yet!" A fiery glow erupted from Kefka, Incognitus, and Bomb Voyage's bodies. From the ground Kefka began to cackle and laugh hysterically, kicking his feet up to the air and clutching his stomach. "Oh! We had you good, huh!? That was fun!" Reraise wore off on Kefka, Incognitus, and Bomb Voyage! "We had to be sure we knew your abilities before going all out." "Ooooo! Killing you all will be so much fun now! NOW DIE!!!" Kefka held out both his hands towards Aria and Torrin and let out a shrieking laugh as he bombarded the two with dozens of Fire, Blizzard, and Thunder spells. A red glow surrounded Incognitus as he charged forth at extreme speed, moving faster than Thallasa could react as he struck her with a flurry of swift strikes from his two swords. And, surprise surprise, Bomb Voyage had more bombs to throw. Only now he began to throw dozens upon dozens at Illiana, Adalric, and Elastigirl with reckless abandon.

At the same time both wielders cast Fira destroying a group of Shadows in the explosion of flame before they ran forth to join Chrys and strike down most of the Shadows that surrounded them. Dentro finished off three Neoshadows, dispatching them each with a single swing of his keyblade and leaping over the group of Heartless to stand on the other end facing Chrys. "Having fun yet?" He smirked. "Cuz I am!" The Heartless began to retaliate at the trio, Neoshadows jumping and striking with flying spin kicks and Shadows clawing at their legs. Koa HP: 90 AP: 14/44 MP: 21/30 Dentro HP: 110 AP: 4/46 MP: 31/40 Chrys took 31 Damage! (69/100HP) Koa took 11 Damage! (79/90HP) Dentro took 26 Damage!

Arctus attacked again with a little more oomph in his slash as his frustration turned into an anger that focused on the Demon Tide. When his downward cut met the ground, it kicked up dirt and rocks from the impact. The debris floated in the air as he held up his right hand to levitate the rocks and aimed it at the Demon Tide, shooting off the debris like small rockets to pelt the Heartless swarm. No longer did he think of the Heartless as cute little buddies and instead just saw it for what it was. An obstacle. Demon Tide Blue: 2,900/5,000

Arctus fumed and rubbed his jaw, glaring at Karina. "Hmrgfrbr." He squinted at the girl and bit down on his tongue to keep from embarrassing himself any further. There was only so much abuse he could take and he was at his limit. ...Speaking of which... He stomped his boots into the ground, bracing himself as he aimed his blade at the Demon Tide and readied his own limit but, on seeing Karina so close to the swarm, relented and went back to his signature move now feeling it was becoming generic. Another sword throw. Another damaging blow to the Tide. He barely cared when his sword returned now that Karina had turned the tables on him since all he could really focus on was what would happen next after the battle was over. Would they still play their game of cat and mouse? Or would he have to confront his dreaded feelings? And come up with a backstory? He shuddered. He hated bringing up his past because, honestly, who cared? He was here now and that was all that mattered. Demon Tide Blue: 3,200/5,000

Arctus snapped back to the present, barely, after being told to shut up by a girl who knew no better. "N-no! You shut up! You can't stop the...Io-er...whatever that wa-HEY. Meaningless! Oh no you didn't!" Arctus growled at Karina and tossed a pebble her way. "I! You! You...female! Dammit girl!" He shook his fist with no comeback coming to mind to possibly recover his state of "cool" in the situation. Whatever control he had was now lost in a huff of frustration and emotions he couldn't process. Demon TIde Blue: 3,500/5,000

Arctus continued to passively wonder about the life and existence of a Demon Tower, speaking almost inaudibly to himself. "Dost thou loseth thine sense of self in yonder gathering? Dost thou...no...not gonna talk like this for a whole post. But seriously...how? How do you do this, little buddies? HOW!?" He sighed. Was there even a point in wondering save for the sense of wonder? They were just going to get destroyed in the end anyway. He placed his hands on his hips and continued to stare at the swarm even after Karina casually kissed him out of nowhere. Such was life. So the Demon Tide was still-waitwhatwhathowwhy. Arctus hadn't even processed what had just happened. He nearly dropped his blade and watched as Karina walked away without a word, his jaw dropped. He had nothing witty to say. No musings about the stupid Heartless. Just confusion and a burning sensation in his cheeks. He opened his mouth to try to form words but all that came out was, "A-again?" Demon Tide Blue: 3,800/5,000

Arctus continued to watch his Demon Tower, momentarily glancing at Karina and her impressive fighting style. "Ya know...ever wonder how they get like that? Like, do they just decide 'yo! Let's all go pile on each other and travel like a bunch of weirdos!'?" He scratched his chin. "Or do they do that because they're lonely? ...Oh sorry were you saying something about always being angry? Uh right. Got lost in thought. Um...lemme think of something witty-aha! Well, it's not witty but I like your spice, Karina! You're like an angry hot potato...that's spicy. A pepper. Yeah. You're a pepper!" Demon Tide Blue: 4,100/5,000

Arctus scratched the back of his head now that he was at a loss of what to do next. He refused to let his new signature move be his only move. He folded his arms, watching as the Demon Tide fly around. He wondered what would simply look the coolest in his next attack. Perhaps just imagining it would be enough to damage the Heartless. He looked over at Karina. "Hey! Are you jealous of a few Shadows? You know your rage is somehow cuter. Or maybe it isn't! Nobody knows. Well I knows." He shrugged, flashing a stupid grin with the knowledge someone agreed with him. Demon Tide Blue: 4,250/5,000

Arctus began to think about Danger Noodles and how delectable they were. "Doo du du doooo..." He whistled as he threw his sword again, the purple glow of it illuminating the innards of the Demon Tide as it entered the swarm. Having nothing to do but wait for his blade to returned he absentmindedly played with his thumbs and kicked at the dirt beneath his boots. He only just now realized that the wait for his sword was quite awkward. His face brightened when the black blade returned to him. "Yes!" Demon Tide Blue: 4,400/5,000

Arctus attacked once more by swinging his blade at the Heartless swarm several times. Just by the fact that there were hundreds of Shadows he managed to catch several with each cut of his large blade. "Easy peasy lemon squeezy." He threw his sword into the Demon Tide, his eyes following the path of destruction it cleaved as it made its way through, and caught it on its return trip. "Just a few more hits like that and we'll be done before supper." Demon Tide Blue: 4,550/5,000

Arctus spun his blade overhead, preparing a spell as he watched the Demon Tide he attacked fly about. Seeing all the Shadows clump together and be hurled forward as the swarm moved in the air greatly amused him. Despite the fact that he had said it was time to kick ass he still fixated on them like some kind of curious oddity to behold. Truth be told, Artcus wished he could just pluck one of those Shadows from its brethren and keep it as his own pet. It would then be known as his Friendly Heartless. Yes. And then he would gift it to Karina. No. That was stupid. Girls didn't like Heartless. They liked stupid boxes with chocolates in them. Knowing his mind had wandered too far he shook his head and snapped back to reality. He called forth his spell and rained down small comets on the Demon Tide watching as Shadows exploded into sad puffs of darkness as they were bombarded by SPACE SHRAPNEL. "Bye little buddies. You'll always be in my heart. But not really. Stop resisting!" Demon Tide Blue: 4,700/5,000

Arctus raised an eyebrow at one of the swarms of Heartless and looked over at Karina. "Yo!" He pointed at the Demon Tide. "Look at all the little guys swirling about! It's kinda cute isn't it? Look at the little guys go! ...Okay that's enough looking. Let's kick their asses now." Arctus charged forward and leaped like a freak to strike down with his sword on the Demon Tower, the black blade glowing with gravity magic and causing everything it struck to suddenly rocket down to the floor and explode in small puffs of darkness. Demon Tide Blue: 4,850/5,000BP

(15/70HP) Frozone was critically hit for 17 Damage! (63/80HP) The remaining hats zoomed about and sliced at the group with their claws. Frozone shouted, "Keep moving!" to the group while shooting ice at the floor to skate ahead. "If you ignore them I can seal the tunnel behind us before they call in even more of their friends!" The remaining hats began to emit a loud alarm from their small mechanical bodies and their red lights began to glow brighter. Frozone led the group onward through the tunnels as more sentries arrived to answer the call for backup. 35 Helping Hats arrived! Enemies Remaining: 41 Helping Hats (6 AP) Kefka took 20 Damage! The clown stumbled backwards rubbing his bruised cheek and snarled at the Princess of Heart. "Oh! I'm going to enjoy roasting you and snuffing out that light of yours!" A BOSS BATTLE COMMENCES Thallasa took 20 Damage! (218/240HP) Aria took 7 Damage! (38/70HP) Adalric took 31 Damage! (82/150HP) Torrin dodged all attacks! (92/155HP) Illiana took 6 Damage! (36/45HP) Elastigirl took 8 Damage! (92/100HP) Kefka jumped back and launched a barrage of Fire spells at Aria and another barrage at Torrin who maneuvered out of the way while still on his glider. "No cheating! You brat!" The clown yelled angrily. Bomb Voyage, predictably, threw several small bombs up towards Adalric and Illiana. Adalric took the brunt of the explosion and both keyblade wielders were knocked off his glider. Incognitus summoned his two blades and spun them around to fire off magical blades that rocketed up to strike both Thallasa and Elastigirl forcing them to make a hasty landing to close the distance between the masked man and them. "Mr. Incredible isn't here!" Elastigirl called out, desperately looking around for the other super. "Monsieur Incroyable is, shall we say, taking care of your friends." Bomb Voyage said with a smug grin. From thirty feet away, Elastigirl allowed her fists to do the talking and stretched her arm rapidly, extending into a long ranged punch to knock the villain on his back. "Good work Aria! Now let's make short work of them!" Torrin called out towards Aria, landing behind Kefka and brandishing his keyblade in its base form. He had worried Aria would put herself in over her head but, truth be told, the only way out of this was by going all in. "You're not getting the last laugh, jester." "It's Kefka you buffoooohhno." Before the clown could react Torrin had already closed the distance between the two in an explosion of speed. A white aura that surrounded Torrin as he entered Critical Form trailed behind him as he came in with a swift punch that rammed against the clown's stomach. The blow struck so hard that it knocked him into the building behind Aria and cracked the concrete wall as Kefka connected with it. Thallasa recovered from her fall in a graceful roll and she charged towards the clown, intending to help finish the job but was stopped by the masked man. Their blades clashed but Thallasa stepped back and swung her keyblade up to knock Incognitus's swords away to leave her the freedom to deliver several deft cuts to her enemy while he his guard was down which forced him to back up in order to recover.

Torrin raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly on hearing how nervous Aria sounded. "Relax. You're safe with me. I won't go too fast. I can't leave the others in our dust so hang on tight and try to have fun." When the others were ready the three pairs took off to the skies and back into the city. As they flew higher and higher the wind picked up and a cold breeze rushed by making his cheeks sting. The costume he was wearing now was not as warm as his coat but, as he tucked his cape under his leg to prevent it from whipping back and smacking Aria, the style it provided was...almost worth feeling a little chilly. From up in the sky despite the excitement over the past day and even this morning the city looked calm and quiet, somehow blissfully unaware of the action that was about to take place. Perhaps the magic signal sent to the sky could only be seen by people with abilities... Torrin glanced over at the others flying beside them seeing Elastigirl with a fierce look of determination on her face. Torrin briefly wondered what must be going on through the hero's mind but shrugged it off and looked back at Aria. "Did you sleep at all last night? I know there wasn't much time but..." He looked straight ahead seeing that they were nearing the tower. Even before he looked at the ground below he could already sense a rising darkness. "The sheer presence of that generator must be drawing in Heartless. There's more coming." Torrin spoke lowly. They began to descend and as they did they could see three figures standing right in front of the tower. When they were no more than fifty feet off the ground the clown snapped his fingers and a massive wall of flame encircled the building and the plaza before it that the trio was waiting at. Suddenly the chill Torrin had felt before turned into scorching dry air. The flames rose up almost as high as they were leaving Torrin both impressed by the display of power and wary of the battle they were going in to. "We can take them. We just need to work together." "I don't care for the appearance of this pitiful little city...so burn it! TORCH EVERYTHING!!!" The clown exclaimed to the sky, cackling as he shouted. "I thought ze explosions were my doing, Kefka." Bomb Voyage spoke in his thick accent as he held his head up high and looked at the mage from the corner of his eye. "They're here." Incognitus pointed up towards the three keyblade gliders in the sky as they descended.
Torrin raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly on hearing how nervous Aria sounded. "Relax. You're safe with me. I won't go too fast. I can't leave the others in our dust so hang on tight and try to have fun." When the others were ready the three pairs took off to the skies and back into the city. As they flew higher and higher the wind picked up and a cold breeze rushed by making his cheeks sting. The costume he was wearing now was not as warm as his coat but, as he tucked his cape under his leg to prevent it from whipping back and smacking Aria, the style it provided was...almost worth feeling a little chilly. From up in the sky despite the excitement over the past day and even this morning the city looked calm and quiet, somehow blissfully unaware of the action that was about to take place. Perhaps the magic signal sent to the sky could only be seen by people with abilities... Torrin glanced over at the others flying beside them seeing Elastigirl with a fierce look of determination on her face.

The memory wasn't pleasant but it gave Alder and idea of what needed to be done. Things were getting worse in the cave and they needed to do something now. Alder looked at the control panel now that everything had booted up properly and looked over the options taking note that they all seemed to be good for the situation. Nothing appeared to be so out of place that they would risk destroying the machine. "It's going to need a minute to warm up." He spoke up to the others as he hit the RUN option without changing any of the settings. "Just hang on for one minute. That's all we need!"

Thallasa directed towards the young keyblade wielders. "Move out." The master ordered. "Alright! Whatever's waiting for us, we have the numbers to handle it." Frozone looked over towards Elastigirl and the two nodded at each other. "Take care out there." Taking off in a sprint he ran ahead to lead his team back down into the tunnels. "That leaves us. If we're going to get there quickly we're going to need to take to the sky." "Flying? From what I've heard, none of you can fly." Elastigirl placed her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow. "If you need someone to pilot a plane I recently got my pilot's license but I doubt there's time to get a pla-" "What? Oh. Don't worry about transportation. We've got that covered." She looked over towards Adalric and Torrin who both understood what she meant and, tossing their keyblades to the sky, their keyblades transformed into gliders and came back down to ground level for the group to board them. "Wow! That's gotta be handy." "It has its uses." Thallasa grinned. "Get on. We'll move a lot faster this way. Adalric, take Illiana. Aria you're with Torrin." "Hang on tight. These things go fast enough to knock the wind out of you and, if you're not so fond of heights, just don't look down." Torrin warned as he extended his hand out to help Aria up, Adalric doing the same for Illiana. When Frozone and company reached the tunnels Frozone held out his arm to stop the others from advancing. "Hang on...I hear something up ahead." Helping Hats were guarding the tunnels leading up to the Magitek power generator. Though it made it obvious which direction it was located in, there was no way around them. "I've fought my share of robots but hats!?" Frozone spoke in a loud whisper as to not alert the sentries. "Really! Hats!?" He exclaimed. "We don't have time to sneak around these things so we're just gonna have to push on through. Follow my lead." Frozone charged forth, shooting ice at the ground and skating forward at a great speed, chilling the air around him as he moved and froze the first Helping Hats he came across. Once more, the hats were not happy. D-Links are available. Enemies Remaining: 45 Helping Hats (6 AP) As the trio walked forward they could feel the effects of the Magitek inhibiting field. "I feel heavy." Koa took a deep breath. "This must be the doing of that field Master told us about. Do you think we should try taking care of that first?" Dentro scoffed and shook his head. "We're at a hundred percent and the others aren't. You wanna give them back the use of their magic? No way. Let them worry about dealing with that." "It was just a suggestion. No need to get so bent out of sha--Heartless!" "Hey! I wasn't that mean." Dentro frowned and turned towards Koa. "You don't have to call me Heartless." "No!" Koa exclaimed as he summoned his keyblade and pointed behind Dentro. "I mean there's Heartless right in front of us! And more are coming!" "Wait what? What're they doing here?" Following suit, Dentro called forth his own keyblade and prepared for battle. "Chrys, get ready for some action." Pools of darkness formed in the middle of the streets allowing Heartless to pour forth from them and block the path of the Chasers. D-Links are available.

I enjoy that it changed the context of my RP's first post to something stupid.
