After the nudge from Aria, Chrono went on ahead and started looking at the machines suited for a group of their size or larger. Soon as he saw the name 'Kefka' Chrono immediately walked away from the ones for 5 people and looked at the next one. Looked challenging, but nothing outside of what they would (hopefully) be able to handle. "How bout this then?" Chrono offered, pointing to the 'Blast From the Past'.
For starters Kel had been relieved that once the actual fight had ended, all the of the flames were put out meaning that the flames that had been slowly burning him were gone finally. In the next instance, he was awestruck at the change in scenery as well as Te Ka turning into was appaerently the goddess Te Fiti herself. Both unexpected and pleasantly surprising excluding how they were technically trying to kill one another earlier. "Isn't bringing her heart back enough gratitude?" Honestly, that seemed like a bigger deal than just simply bowing. Though if anyone else had chosen to bow, then he would do the same. 4/30
"I can help with that too." Chrono said, making himself the third person in the group Aria had started forming. Tinarah had already taken it upon herself to go ahead by herself, not to mention she didn't seem to be in the best of moods after that meeting so perhaps this would be a good thing for her. Give her a chance to blow off some steam. Thinking about it wouldn't help, instead, he looks towards the other machines that weren't currently in use. "Which one do you want to try out then?"
Te Ka was definitely reeling after that last wave of attacks, which granted a moment of confidence in their chances of beating this beast. Even with the large amount of damage that Te Ka has sustained, it wasn't out of the fight just yet and with a mighty eruption, the skies darkened as smoke bloated out the skies and lava rained from the sky. Visibility lessens as the smoke that had fallen started to sting his eyes while the actual lava that had been falling from the skies was dealing it own fair share of damage. Through squinted eyes, he still saw both Kaida and Stratos launching their attacks on Te Ka and with the conditions as they currently were, he decided to do the same. Once more Kel lept forward to attack, his keyblade glowing an assortment of colors before settling on a brilliant white. "Excalibur!" The blade of light struck its target while Kel managed to find footing on Maui's shark form, who had positioned himself underneath him after biting at the lava monster once more. Kel used Paradigm Shift - Excalibur Maui used Shark Bite 3/30
While ignoring the flames to the best of his abilities, it didn't help that overall that he was feeling pretty worse for wear as a whole. A few haggard breaths later and Kel felt the familiar wave of healing wash over him alongside the faint green glow. He glanced to see the same glow emanating from Stratos's keyblade. "Appreciate that." A thumbs up towards his friend and Kel shoued, "Hey Maui! You're up!" Kel summoned Maui Maui used Shark Bite 2/30
Lazuli was relieved to see Auburn hop off of his hand before gradually returning to her normal size. She was silent about too, so he had barely been able to notice that she had done so in the first place. His hand soon found its way back into his pocket as Lazuli continued to scan around the area for any indication of them getting closer to the temple. His efforts had been rewarded as they had arrived. The large body of water was fitting for the temple of the water guardian and the plants added a more natural feel to it. It all was so quiet and tranquil, which in a different scenario would've been a good thing. Right now, however, it was more concerning than anything. His hands grip the handle to his blade as he followed behind the others, this time he would be ready for anything that might jump out of them. With little choice of his own, Vice was dragged along up until they had reached the temple they were looking for. Not being one to 'stop and take in the scenery' his attention was more focused on the path that had appeared in front of them. In fact, once it had formed he wasted no time making his way tot he front and walking onward.
Surprisingly enough, having lava dumped on him didn't do as much as he thought it would do. However, it did light him on fire and despite the initial moments of frantically trying to put out the flames on him, nothing seemed to work. Against his better judgment, Kel ignored the flames and went to attack Te Ka once more with another overhead attack. Spotting a familiar robot flying around made Kel feel better about that decision somewhat. Kel activated Power Aura Lvl1 Kel used Poison Edge 1/30
The way Kaio had spoken to them irked Chrono but was quickly overshadowed by the other methods. Out of the three, the second one was what he would've preferred to go with, but hearing about the chances of making those weapons was disheartening, to say the least. The Flammie was an interesting approach, but not one he could completely agree with. "And where do you plan on getting this darkness from?" The Realm of Darkness was the obvious answer, but beyond that, he couldn't see what force of darkness that could rival the light chaser and still being beneficial to them in the long run.
The ship came to a stop and Kel stood up, his keyblade already summoned and at the ready as the mountain turned into a full-fledged lava monster. "We've gotten this far, so let's do this." With a thumbs up pointed to Moana, he leaped forward towards the hulking beast that was Te ka and struck down on its head with his keyblade. Kel used Aerial Slam
Torrin getting up in arms to attack Chrys wasn't much of a surprise, in fact, he had the most reason to do so out of the people currently still in the kitchen. However, Lumen's act of bravery was surprising. Granted had it not been for Qamar's interruption, it is entirely likely that Torrin would've gone through Lumen to get to her. Master Selene had been the next to arrive to usher them all to a meeting. It did enough to ease the tension of the current situation and Chrono followed behind her. Once more they found themselves in the room with most of the masters that weren't looking for this 'warrior of light' or Gilgamesh. As they were brief/updated on various different topics, Chrono himself glanced over to Chrys. So her off-handed remark about being chased out was true. He couldn't deny that he was wondering why, but at the same time, it didn't change that he didn't trust her. Unlike Torrin though, he wasn't going to immediately act on said distrust. "And what are the other options you've been looking into?" More importantly, would they be of any use to them, the students, and not just calling in on someone else to help them. Truthfully he'd rather some sort of weapon or something to that nature.

Chrono merely offered a wave when Torrin had introduced him to the new new guy who had just entered the kitchen. He was certainly an energetic one, but what stuck out to him more was the dragon that had perched itself upon his shoulder. Seeing a dragon was not much of a surprise as it should've been any more, least friendly dragons. However, there was the thought of how Take would handle being around a dragon again. He seemed to be fine with Flammie in the brief times she was around. Then came a third voice from the doorway. A quick looked revealed that the voice had come from Chrys, which lead to its own set of questions. Most noticeably 'Why was she here?' "There should still be something to eat." Chrono took one more sip from his, admittedly cooling, hot chocolate. First, two actual newcomers had shown up and now one of the Light Chasers' apprentices too. It made for an eventful morning at the very least.
The change from a little chicken to a pretty large eagle was admittedly impressive and the following shift to a shark was equally as so. After the mishap of being literally half shark it seemed like Maui had gotten back into the swing of things pretty easily. He even went out his way to turn into a whale, above the water and crashing back down into it. Now drenched, Kel wrung the water out of his hair. It was about all he could do besides sit out in the sun and let himself dry naturally and given the raft they were on, that was going to happen regardless during their search for Te Fiti.
With no real reason to refuse the offer of hot chocolate, Chrono followed behind the others to the kitchen. With cup in hand, he drank some of the drink while listening to what was going on. Following Torrin's original statement, Enzo had thrown in his own two cents. Admittedly as Chrono took another sip of his hot chocolate, he didn't know if Enzo actually know what it was he was talking about or not. He didn't seem like the type that did, but that didn't mean much in regards to him. His thoughts soon transferred to wondering about the realm of darkness and a hypothetical trip there. There was some appeal to it, but in the aspect that whatever was currently ailing, there was resolved. It would suck if they got dragged into yet another mass scale conflict. "Well, more so things to do. Afterward, though it should be fine." Presuming all went well with his own goals at least. The sudden intrusion of Gero's voice caused Chrono to put his cup down and look in his direction. Wonder what he wants that he didn't say earlier?
So they just needed to take advantage of the numbers they had over them. He could see that working for the students, but for the Light Chaser himself. Well as it stood right now, he could see more of the risks, but the possibility of it working was there as well. It left him feeling unsure about it all as a whole despite wanting a better way to go about it. Thankfully this wouldn't be something that would come up anytime soon. "Maybe we can come up with something better than just 'gang up on him' while we're here."
"Illiana went off to get some fresh air, said she didn't have time to be angry after you two left." Chrono explained, his attention turning to Kal and his story for being here. It reminded him of another threat that needed to be dealt with and while not as immediate as the Light Chaser was, he's seen first hand how easily it could happen. "Its good to hear that you're confident about that, but if he does come here, he'll likely bring his students as well and I don't know how we stand up compared to them." His arms crossed before adjusting himself slightly. He lacked the experience needed to accurately make that comparison given his encounters with the Light Chaser's students have mainly either been words or just avoidance. Disregarding the dislike he held for two of them anyway.
Another attack missed and Gale was getting frustrated with all this all well and it was noticeable with the audible growl he made as his spellbook opened once more. At the very least he had to spell up to be used, but not the MP to use them at the same time. That being why he went with the one that had the most power behind it. Gale didn't even bother with closing his book this time, he figured his spell would miss and readied for the next one. Gale cast Blaze Colum and prepared to dodge.
At the notion of 'starting off small', Kel first tried to think of a small animal that he could turn into. His first thought went to a small fish, but a small fish could get eaten by a bigger one which was not something they had time for should it happen. "Hey Maui, try turning into a bird, that should be a small enough start." Without the risk of him getting eaten by a larger predator too.
"If you say so." Chrono said, his attention turning towards the returning duo. He hadn't been expecting to see Torrin or Aria back this quickly as they hadn't even been gone for all that long. "Already done with whatever Master Gero needed you for?" There had been some doubt in his voice when he asked that, and it wasn't like he was prodding for an answer, thus there wasn't a response he was trying to get or anything like that.
He was glad that he had some way of shortening his name, otherwise, he could easily foresee the troubles he would have in pronouncing his name. "Okay Kal, that saves some trouble. I'm Chrono." His hand was held out for him to shake. "Might be a rude question to ask, but what are you doing here?" Chrono didn't mean it to come off as rude as it possibly did, but curiosity had gotten the better of him in this regard.
