Illiana continued her silent trek toward the cauldron until she felt someone grab her arm. She got ready to strike her opponent until she saw it was Qamar. She scowled and sighed. "Let go of me right now before Ardyn sees both of us. And on any other day I would pay to see that but that's not the case right now." She whispered angrily while Qamar spoke. "Illiana, this...this isn't the right choice." She was definitely confused to say at the least. Qamar continued to speak. "I know it's not my place, but you've got a lot to live for, okay? Think about your brother. You worked so hard to try and follow him. You even pushed yourself past exhaustion....you go in there now, you're gonna get smacked by Ardyn, okay? He's too strong. Stay back and assess the situation more." Okay...Now Illiana was definitely confused. The expression on her face was one of definite confusion. Does she actually think I was gonna throw my life away for them? Is she like another form of stupid or something? Actually......Better if I don't know. But she's one absolute bonafide idiot. Illiana rubbed her temple in circles for a moment before sighing. She then opened her mouth. "Are you stupid or something? Why in the damn cosmos would I give my own life over that? Especially for you guys?" She sighed before continuing. "Why would I willingly go near the cauldron if I didn't assess the situation? I'm not that stupid. Just go back to the others unseen and try to distract him. Got it?" Illiana grabbed the arm holding her own, gripping just as tightly, if not more. She then released it, almost throwing it. Illiana turned around and started her way to the cauldron again. That was until she heard a mysterious voice, followed by a bright light, call to Ardyn. "What in the-?" Before she could move any further, the muffed voice grew more clearer and a figure emerged from that light. Illiana opened her eyes and was definitely surprised but a little clueless as to who that mysterious person was. The smell of burnt metal lingered in the air. She turned her attention toward the cauldron and saw that it had been split into two. "What the hell is going on?" She whispered. The figure had then spoke. His next words had Illiana's blood started boil and her emotions run high. "You may have heard of me before. Does the name Light Chaser ring a bell?". This is the Light Chaser?? This is the bastard that filled Koa's head with lies?!?! Illiana got ready to strike as she looked over to see if anyone would be in the way. She then saw Tinarah winding up for some kind of strike. Her blood started to cool down while her mind started to process again. She's gonna kill herself if she tries anything right now.....Dammit....I'm not gonna make it in time if I run....What do I do?! As if to answer her, her keyblade changed its shape once again. The keyblade had formed itself into a whip, thorns covering it. "Well....every rose has its thorns but let's try not to hurt the girl." Once again, as if it was listening to her, the thorns shrunk, almost disappearing into the whip. She shrugged before starting to run. Illiana threw her whip once she saw she was close enough. The whip flew threw the air and wrapped itself around Tinarah. Illiana pulled on her whip, dragging Tinarah out of harm's way. She got her arms ready to catch her. She felt her feet almost digging into the ground as she caught her. Her whip reverted back to its original form as Illiana got in front of her. "You can curse me out later. However, running in there blindly filled with rage is gonna do nothing but get you killed. Trust me, I understand how you feel. I wanna kill him too but I got a bad feeling about doing it now." Illiana turned her head to try and calm Tinarah down while still standing in front of her protectively.
Illiana watched as the Horned King grow weaker and weaker. She stayed silent as the King denied and denied his defeat. Illiana had felt an icy presence in the area. She couldn't figure it out but she would find out in a mere moment. Before anyone could run over, Ardyn had shown up, sending the Horned King into the Cauldron, sealing his fate. Ardyn then faced the group, tipping his hat and thanking them for playing their role. "So that was your end game......I knew it....." Illiana flipped a piece of her hair away from her face. "We were just pawns for him to slide in and take what he needed." She crossed her arms as she closed her eyes, reviewing the events that led them to here to connect Ardyn's plan. She opened her eyes and saw that Torrin had then stepped forward. Is he stupid? We just fought in battle not even five minutes and he wants to fight again?! Damn.... Illiana sighed before Ardyn had mentioned something quite interesting. She then whispered to herself. "So he's the one that put down the kid.......Disgusting..." Before Illiana could step up, Tinarah had then stepped over to Torrin. Illiana looked between those two and the Cauldron. A plan had begun forming in her head. She immediately backed away from the group slowly. She kept her eyes on Ardyn and Torrin while she tried to make her way to the Cauldron. Maybe if I can get to the Cauldron quietly......maybe I can change the tide....If I could just grab it.....Maybe pull Ardyn into even...Illiana kept walking slowly and quietly. She kept moving toward the Cauldron while they were still talking.
(Will Edit in post later)Evie used Aqua Stream and Strike
Luna remained silent as the King spoke. He was definitely concerned about just the mere presence of a keyblade. Luna bowed her head as Triton commanded them to leave his kingdom. "Many pardons, your majesty." She lifted her head andas she exited out, she stopped before turning back. "I know I may be overstepping my boundaries.....however.....You should try and talk with your daughter and try to understand how she feels. Just allow her to open up to you.....No words should be said....Just give her the freedom to talk to the one person she looks up to the most...you." She bowed her head once more before leaving the room. The group had immediately caught up with Ariel. Sebastian had immediately told Ariel to move aside as the group was to exit the kingdom. Ariel had then spoke. "Well... he didn't say WHEN they had to leave... so I can show them around a bit!" Before Luna could even utter a sound, she felt Ariel grab her arm and drag her to her grotto. "Huh?!?!? Whoa!!!!" Luna could barely move as Ariel continued dragging her to her grotto.
Illiana felt her body get knocked back by the Horned King's attack. She stood back up and tried to stop, breathe, and think. She tried to cast a spell but nothing would emerge. "Damn...Bastard locked my magic...." Illiana took another deep breath before speaking out, her eyes still glued onto the enemy. "Somebody better have a plan cause we're gonna crash at this rate." Illiana took another moment to formulate a plan in her head. She had a least thought out her next move. "There's only so much you can do yourself....." She sighed before reaching a hand to her chest. "Oh well. Gotta do what's gotta be done. Hopefully you'll be useful." Illiana felt a presence surround her. In the next immediate moment, she felt her body get lighter and much easier to move. She grabbed her blade and jumped into the air. She rolled forward in mid-air, aiming at the Horned King. "Eat this you bag of bones!" Illiana descended down, feeling her body move so fast it was as if she was moving at the speed of sound. Her blade slashed through the King, hoping it did a number on him. She backspringed her way back to where she was before. As she stood up, she felt the magic within her flow through her body once more. She looked over to Chrono as he cheered on the three he had healed. Illiana gave him a two finger salute before looking back at the Horned King. Illiana activated the Solar Surfer D-Link! Illiana used Sky Dive! HP: 31/70 MP: 27/40 FOC: 15/28 FLUX: 2/3
