Take was expecting it to be around the time to leave, and was about to open his mouth to ask if they should say goodbye to Mr Incredible or something before they left, but Edna ended up walking in before he even had to. He waited for everyone else to give their goodbyes before he waved to Edna and said, not noticing how insensitive it sounded, "Thank you for letting us stay in your home. I wish you the best." then he turned towards the portal and walked in following the rest.
Jaz had been pretty quiet, mostly to process the situation, also because she regretted not speaking up to get the memory crystal fast enough. It wasn't something she wanted to sulk about, especially since it wasn't like there weren't more they could get. She kind of decided to walk silently and practice a bit of alchemy that she saw from the guide and she just kept doing that while everyone else was conversing. Just as they as they brought up finding no more crystals and they seemed to be settled on the fact there were no more in the area, the group found a crystal in the area and was simultaneously ambushed. Now, she had a feeling something like this would happen, but she didn't expect it to happen this soon. When Dot explained weaknesses after fire didn't work out, Jaz swore under her breath wishing she had gotten earth or something, that was the opposite to air wasn't it? She didn't think plant was going to do much good, but she knew it would certainly do better than fire. Jaz took a deep breath and reached out to use vine grab and hold them in place as much as she could.
When Boreas asked him if he was alright, he figured Boreas meant his arm by way of him rubbing it. Take looked at it a bit and said,"Yeah I'm fine. I thought my arm was a bit more healed than it was so it's pretty sore at the moment. I'd have thought it'd hurt if I used a keyblade more but I guess not." he wasn't quite sure what the caught like that comment was about exactly. Him yielding? He didn't know. Take put back on his shirt but was going to wait to cool off a little longer before putting on his sweatshirt. He processed Boreas' comment about him dishing more helping even the odds, he could agree with that. But he felt like he should have felt a little more proud of the fact that Boreas considered it a good fight and him holding out well. He didn't feel anything though. He decided to take the glove off briefly to just get a look at his hand, and for the most part it seemed fine comparatively. But it was bruised pretty badly, when his eyes landed on his wrist, he noticed it was swelled up a bit more than it should have been, as he turned his hand to place his wrist up there was a spot that was obviously not a recent wound, kind of like a target with the scar in the center being deeper than that around it . He rubbed at his wrist just above it, where it was swelled and visibly winced and said, "Yeah it's... it's better than it was a few days ago but it needs a bit more time." he went to go and cover the arm up again so it could stay compressed.
Melus was a little surprised how twelve things seemed to happen all at once and she didn't really know how to process any of it. Melus watched the void disc relaunch itself into the air and the girl quickly raised her arrow to shoot it. Her intent was to hit it so it went back towards Shiro. But her aim was further off than she expected and her arrow caused the void disc to ricochet straight off of it in the opposite direction, perfectly aiming straight for Charlie's face. Melus kept from cursing under her breath and tried to play it off like this was her intention all along, but she couldn't be quite sure. x
Take accepted Boreas' hand, and used mostly his weight to get up. He was still breathing a bit but it wasn't nearly as bad as when he was winded. He didn't feel tired, but he felt drained, like whatever emotional height he was at was just gone now. And as he began to notice his hand hurting more he reached over to try and massage it to try and work out the pain a bit, but his brain accidentally associated that with the same thing he did with the scorpions. In fact, it was probably the first time he'd shut his emotions out without thinking about it actively. As his face seemed to just go back to the emotionlessness he hadn't really been displaying lately, he let out with a monotone to his voice. "Perhaps, but I guess there's no point to dwell too much on it. I'd rather you fight it out with me like this than have you blind angry against the enemy." he looked back over towards the mansion where everyone else is and continued, "Though I might challenge you to one of these again some day. It reminded me of the brawls I used to have with my brother... and I'm a bit of a sore loser."
It was probably the way Boreas worded the reply that made Take's stomach fill with quite a bit of guilt, but by the point Boreas had called him pathetic for trying to worm his way out of it, the boy didn't really think he could actually walk away from this. It wasn't a pride thing, he was probably past that point, it had more to deal with respect. If he walked away, Boreas would probably just remember him for the same thing Take did end up accusing him of, being all talk. And he didn't think he could sit with that. After a moment or two, Take let out a sigh and shifted to take off his sweatshirt and then the shirt under it. He probably didn't have to do that but it made more sense to. Despite being a smaller stature, Take had a bit of muscle in his arms. He also didn't exactly have battle scars, the exception being a slash across his back, it was mostly faded burn scars. When he turned to look towards Boreas he saw him put his fists up and Take looked down at his broken arm and hoped it was as good as it felt at this point before he put his fists up. It wasn't a short fist fight but it wasn't like it went on for far too long without a clear winner. Take could take some pretty large hits, but he couldn't dish them out. He didn't know how Boreas felt on his end but after a while Boreas had got in a really good punch in that winded Take to the point he knew he wasn't going to get up again when he lost his balance and fell. It was at that point Take held his hand up clearly in a signal to yield. He took in a few deep breaths before stating outright while still out of breath, "I... I never actually thought you were all talk... my joking just clearly was bad and not obvious I got carried away... it became too personal. That's when I disrespected you and the skill you've already clearly displayed while being here with us. And for that, I'm sorry." his hand was hurting quite a bit by this point but he was more focused on trying to breathe again than anything else.
When Kaida ended up catching Stitch and Lilo, she was thrown a bit off balance since she wasn't prepared for it, but fortunately they were light so it didn't cause her too much problems. She reached down to help Lilo and Stitch get on her glider so they weren't hanging off of it. Then she flew back down towards the beach to let them off and she proceeded to collapse onto the sand, kind of like she had when she'd gotten off the neverending boat. But this time she was at least smiling a bit despite being tired, drawing another heart in the sand. When the others got back down Kaida looked up at them and said, "You all did great... we all did great. That last power was a light show but it did it's job!" 7/31
You fools I haven't even played Kingdom Hearts (myself) or KH2 (myself) to completion yet.
When Aux cast up the guardian wall, there was a strong look of relief on Kaida's face since she didn't know how well she would have taken that damage had it hit. She pointed towards the ship to fire off another rapid fire while Baymax had thrown a rocket fist straight at it. But before she fired off the second one she felt this surge of energy through her and her key glowed a bit in response to something. She looked curiously to see Steel seeming to float in mid-air on some sort of rune. She noticed his eye seeming to glow and have an energy wrapped around him, and upon hearing him say "let's finish this" she knew exactly what to do. The blonde looked over towards Stratos quickly to make sure he was on the same page before she flew over on her glider towards Steel and with as much trust as she could place on the situation, or even possibly Steel, she let the glider disappear as she leaped into the air and landed to Steel's right side on a rune that seemed to circle around her's and connect to Steel's. she looked at him briefly in processing before she felt the energy wrap around her too as she nodded and brought her key inwards towards him and said, "I'm with you!" Kaida used Rapidfire Baymax used Rocket Fist Kaida joined in using Trinity Limit 6/31
Seeing how people seemed to be a little down when it came to being able to take another hit, even if it was just precaution Kaida decided to go on and summon out Baymax. The marshmallow-like robot flew on out and was ready for deployment. Kaida told Baymax to go and heal Ananta and Kaida used her keyblade to point towards Stratos and heal him. Kaida summoned Baymax Kaida used Curaga on Stratos Baymax used Healthcare on Ananta 5/31
Liking the results of that combo ability she never used before, Kaida decided to keep on doing it. The cannons sent at her from Gantu hurt, but she didn't think they hurt her as much as they hurt him, especially cause of Ananta's magic which made Kaida look over at her and give a thumbs up saying, "Thanks for the aero." before she rapidfired again and again. Kind of cackling as she did so. Kaida used Rapid Fire Kaida used Rapid Fire 4/31
When Boreas basically told him to take it outside, the boy slowly shifted over to Tinarah to give her the hot cocoa, and dropped one by Torrin and Chrono while he was at it, before he backed up and actually started to head outside. When he got there he saw Boreas... shirtless. He was a bit confused by why... and he probably stared a little longer than he should have before he processed the blond was giving him the stare of a thousand challenges as he started walking closer with his hands up, "Look. I was joking around and I went too far. Could we not throw-down over something this petty?"
Excited a bit by how the ship seemed to be impacted by the attacks, Kaida was gettong herself hyped up to take down this thing. Granted, she was trying to be careful where she aimed because of Lilo. She sent two bursts of shots at the ship, sending so many little lights at it at once before it impacted. Kaida used Rapid Fire Kaida used Rapid Fire 3/31
Well. At the very least they seemed to stop Gantu before the fight ended up in space. That would have been particularly problematic. Not that an aerial battle was necessarily one of her preferred tactics anyway. Kaida kept her glider from moving while she kept herself a distance back and flung some thunder abilities straight at them. The first shot a stream of thunder straight at the ship and then she twirled her keyblade a bit to throw a bell of thunder. This one hit the ship but with a kind of unenthusiastic clang. She was fine with it, though she did like it when the rings echoed. Kaida used Fox Taser Kaida used Thunderbell 2/31
Considering Take was doing this for exactly that kind of a reaction from Boreas, he was amused more than scared. When he clarified Take rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, I'm sorry "my lord" I didn't realize I was now being policed about technicalities." Take shrugged and said, "Can you really blame me when you're so defensive about this in particular? I never insulted your King or anything like that. He isn't the one getting offended cause I made an offhand comment about his family symbol being on money. And if this is how hyped up you're getting about it. Honestly at this rate. I think your bark is worse than your bite." he got so intensely into it that he realized right after he probably just challenged Boreas to a fight. Take froze up for a moment before asking almost at a squeak, "D-does anyone want any of the cocoa I just made?"
Take kind of took a step back from Boreas when he started getting like that and looked genuinely confused why his reaction was the way it was. He was just making an offhand comment on the royal crest. He wasn't trying to shoot down royalty other than that very specific "mark their territory" type deal. Take heard the kettle pop as he went and got out some mugs and said to Boreas,"Uh... I believe Atmos called the system on my homeworld a.. republic? Ya know... people representing each section and making decisions based on what is best for the people." Take found the cocoa powder that Aria pointed out and showed him the day before and he started scooping it in and adding the hot water, "I wasn't meaning any disrespect." he got a spoon and mixed them up and went over to the fridge to add a bit of milk to each one, "But man..." Take kind of had a bit of a giggle slip through as he added whipped cream, "If kings and queens can't handle someone making a comment about how odd they think it is to put their symbols on their money... that's gotta say something about their confidence in their abilities. Or maybe they don't have the staying power to back it up." Take sprinkled chocolate flakes over the cocoa and pushed them away from the edge of the counter so they wouldn't fall, he then looked at Boreas and asked clearly with the intent to prod him, "So are you royalty?"
"We're only about a week away at this rate. Though... I guess we're a day behind now..." Zelph felt more exhausted now than he did before. He looked over to Hedgrit and said, "I know this isn't... ideal. I hope you can at least stick around until we get to safety..." he pulled his hair back so it was in a bit of a ponytail and continued, "I didn't mean to put this kind of burden on you guys... we just... we needed help... I needed help." he didn't like admitting that last part but he knew he was over his head. He hoped the dwarf understood. Iridia fell asleep pretty much the second she was in Hedgrit's pocket. Though instead of the usual orange, she used red for the second time ever and had a look of pure guilt on her face while she slept.
"Yes, that's her friend... and it'll just take over her body completely. Probably will just go and rampage through the world doing whatever it finds as pleasurable entertainment." As soon as Zelph finished, Iridia came flying over with a canteen and she kind of just dropped it on Zelph before fluttering towards Hedgrit. But her wings stopped glowing halfway between them as she fell to the ground. Because of how tiny she was, her thud sounded more like a pebble dropping on the ground. Zelph quickly got up to try and help Iridia out but before he got up she said, "I'm fine!" Zelph stopped and watched Iridia pick herself up and she walked over towards Hedgrit. When she got there she kind of leapt up and started climbing up him using his beard's braids. Zelph watched Iridia and was a little too out of it to laugh. He started trying to place a minor heal on his arm as he admitted, "I think it hasn't because it loves the game..."
"Weeeeell. I knocked you out with a sleep spell and Tellia and I... brushed your hair and put it in braids and flowers! That's... the real reason I apologized. Cause we may have been more fortified and prepared had we had... ya know... not knocked out half the group." Iridia replied, embarrassed as she hid herself further into her pocket. Just in time, Zelph seemed to walk out of the barn to where the two were. And his confidence front just fell apart right as he got out there as he took a sharp breath and leaned up against the wall and slid down it saying, "E-everything hurts." Iridia did her best to try and get her wings going as she tried to fly back inside to try and grab a water bottle or something for Zelph. The half-elf looked over at Hedgrit and said, "Look.. I don't exactly know what that thing is. I just know it's name: Orcus. I don't know if Tellia knows... I don't say it around her..." he closed his eyes a bit for a moment and said, "I don't know everything it feeds on, but it seems to love blood... and it wants to take over Tellia completely..." his head drooped down a bit as his hair hid it's face, "It's why I try to propitiate it... try..." his voice cracked a bit as he said the second try. Then he started coughing a little.
Zelph shook his head and said, "No. The crawlers didn't get you. That's from something else." he didn't exactly want to tell her Orcus made her cut herself theoretically. He looked over at the crawlers and said, "You're gonna be okay now. We took care of these ones. If you wanna rest, it's safe. I promise." he looked over towards where Hedgrit left, he fully intended to tell him... it was just that now he wanted to make sure Tellia wouldn't try overworking herself. He cast a small magic spell to clear off the blood off of their clothes, "We'll clean up." Iridia sat slightly uncomfortable, trying to process exactly what just happened. But before she could even think about that she said, "I'm sorry. This wouldn't have happened if I wasn't trying to entertain."
