A walk on heartless street(Complete)

[shiko]

Zetsu was simply walking with Zephris when he stopped and looked behind him. He felt a strange presence near by. Ignoring it Zetsu looked at Zephris and said "Tell me, what's your world like?"

He wanted to know more about other worlds. Zetsu want's to be known and respected by many worlds and maybe rule one along the way. That's his dream since there's nothing else more exciting.

[Zephiris]

If the second district had been incredible, than this one was unreal. The area was complex and fascinating, and she'd already had her share of seeing the little black 'shadow' heartless. Zetsu finished off most of them, but it wasn't too hard for her to take some of them down.

Zetsu had said something. "Tamara?" Nyra replied. She launched into explaining her home world, trying not to look too proud. "The district I lived in was kinda like this, but less magical-looking, and with tons more walls and alleyways. My and my gang - " she broke of with a start. Her eyes had caught movement. Another shadow? She felt a dark aura, similar to the one that had taken Ravian.

It was a heartless alright. But this one was different from the shadows - it felt more powerful, but in the dark lighting Nyra couldn't make out its features. She narrowed her eyes and unsheathed Nocturne, fighting her instinct to run.

( although he left earlier Ravian's test is over and he has a while till his fight with Shiro)
Ravian walked over the streets of the second district along the sides of the rooftops looking down into to the dark streets of traverse town, the cobblestone roads and the brick buildings and stood stunned as he saw the two newcomers to Traverse town he had met earlier.

He prepared to jump down but quickly realized the two were not alone (apart from himself anyways). The girl " ummmm.......Nyla right?" had noticed a heartless on the road they were on. He almost jumped down and simply killed it before anything could go wrong but thought "eh.....whats the worst that could happen?" and decided to watch what would happen.

[shiko]

(Sorry for the short post. I was in a hurry).

"Cool!" Zetsu exclaimed. He turned and looked at Ravian. Wondering this guy was. It took a while before he noticed who he was. "If it isn't the vigilante! I thought you were dead!"

[Zephiris]

Hey, look who came back. "Nyra," she corrected shortly, turning to Ravian.

Momentarily distracted by his return, Nyra was caught by surprise as a blow was struck across the center of her back. A sharp yell escaped her lips before she could smother the sound. Gritting her teeth, the girl whipped around with Nocturne, her feline-like movements hindered by the stabs of pain in her back.

Ravian and Zetsu didn't seem too troubled by the heartless. Angrily, Nyra told herself she was going to fight off the big fat ass in front of her if it killed her. She swiped her katana once, twice, a third time, shooting small gusts of aero wind with each slash. The big brute didn't even flinch. Without hesitating she sprinted forward, kicking out powerfully with her legs. They made contact, but with her movement impaired, the heartless had time to bludgeon her with his arms before she had a chance to leap away. She was sent sprawling across the brick street with Nocturne clattering beside her.

"Ughh." Nyra reached for her sword, raging at herself. She tried to get to her feet, betting that the other two had already finished off the thing behind her. It made her furious to think of herself as weak in this world. But despite how much she denied it, here she wasn't the untouchable leader of her Tamarian vagabonds.

Nyra glared at Nocturne. The katana was so damn weak. It hadn't helped at all, and if she hadn't been skilled in street fighting she would have been a lot more injured then she was.

[shiko]

Zetsu was just about to kill it when he stopped to think. 'This is her battle if I interfere she won't get any stronger. She told she could handle herself.' He thought about this in just about 2 seconds.

Moving with his extra-ordinary speed, he clenched his fist and gave the heartless a powerful punch. Completely destroying it. Turning to Nyra he asked "So what you told me was a lie?"

[Deleted]

(no skippies ........)
Ravian watched as Nyra was nailed by the large body and quickly decided to help. He jumped down onto the large body and stabbed the long end of his elbow blades into each side of its neck and then twisted them to the side, trying to decapitate it but was thrown off into a wall before he could do more damage.

He struggled to get up still tired from battling those strange beings earlier, as he stood he decided he looked towards Zetsu who had already beaten the other heartless and said "what did she tell you?" he said wiping the blood from his earlier battle off his side and threw his tonfa into the heartless finishing it.

[Zephiris]

If Nyra had been mad at herself before, Zetsu's accusation drove the feeling home. She forced herself to her feet, ignoring the pain, desperately searching for something to say. "I...."

She had told Zetsu she could protect herself, yet she just proved her own words to be lies. Not that they were meant to be untruthful. Tamara had made her fully confident in her abilities - there, not only could she protect herself, but others too as their leader.

Nyra thought back to her response in the first district. Upon recollection, she realized she hadn't answered Zetsu entirely truthfully. She had spoken mostly out of pride. She'd rather something like this happen then admit to needing the protection of another.

And look where that got her.

Though she hated it, Nyra finally had to admit that here her skills weren't enough. She glanced at Ravian and then Zetsu, shoving her pride down for a moment. "Okay, shorty, I messed up. I thought I could take it. Obviously, I guess I can't." A pause. Nyra forced her eyes to keep contact and forbid them to waver. "Um...do you think you could, you know, train me how to fight around here? I don't want this to happen again."

[shiko]

Zetsu thought about this for a moment. He taught himself and that was as hard as hell. Teaching someone else is another thing. "I can do it, I have nothing else to do anyway. But before I train you I want to know one thing." He said to Nyra, his face was serious and the question would determine how powerful she could become.

"Why do you want to become stronger?"

[Deleted]

Ravian looked over Nyra as she spoke "Um...do you think you could, you know, train me how to fight around here? I don't want this to happen again." She didn't seem that weak but the battle didnt lie, she was pretty bad. "To bad I can't help" he thought "but im leaving soon." But Zetsu seemed to be willing to teach her and he didn't seem to bad at fighting off heartless.

He listened to their conversation quietly but couldn't help but laugh at Zetsu's last question "Why do you want to become stronger?" He looked down at the ground chuckling "does it matter that much?" he said looking at Zetsu.

[Zephiris]

Zetsu's question stumped Nyra at first. She stood there for a moment, taking the time to consider her answer.

At first just the images of her old Tamarian followers and friends popped into her head. Though she knew she couldn't be with them anymore, she still wanted to learn to fight. She still wanted to be worthy of her title as their leader and protector, even though she could never be that again.

And Zetsu and Ravian. To get strong and not burden them, but fight alongside them and other companions she would meet when she traveled the worlds - was that her goal? Nyra wasn't entirely certain. She just knew she had to get stronger, whether Zetsu would teach her or not. Uh....but how exactly to put that into words....?

Nyra was saved answering by Ravian's comment. She turned back to Zetsu curiously. "Yeah, why did you decide to become strong and learn to fight?"

[shiko]

Zetsu really didn't want to tell them the absolute truth so he kind of lied. "Well, It's kind of stupid out loud but, I become stronger so I could save an entire world and be a hero. I have to protect my friends as well. It wasn't my choice to learn how to fight anyway." He said. His face was so convincing that no one could say it's a lie.

He turned to Ravian and asked him "Why did you become strong. If you are that is."

[Deleted]

Shiko turned to Ravian and asked him "Why did you become strong. If you are that is."
He smiled an replied "I could beat you anytime....except now....I'm pretty tired" he said pointing out some of his injuries. "anyways I became stronger because I needed to being a thief can lead to some bad situations and even without that reason being strong is a reason in its self. Besides I didn't need to get strong" he said smiling "it comes naturally."

[Zephiris]

(Sorry guys. Didn't notice Shiko had posted!)

Nyra couldn't help but roll her eyes at the two. Well they certainly knew how to kill the mood. "When you girls are done," she said lightly, "will one of you be so kind as to tell me where we're going to train? Or at least, where we get that gummi ship fixed?"

She tried straightening her back, gritting her teeth and ignoring the pain. It was already receding, and she was eager to get going again. With Nocturne shoved angrily back into her sheath, Nyra guestured at the guys, forbidding her face to wince as she did so. "After you, boys."

[shiko]

Zetsu looked at Nyra for awhile. 'She didn't answer my question.' He thought to himself. Zetsu just shrugged.

"Are you sure you can walk all the way? I'm eager to get going as well but I can't train someone who doesn't show any sign of weakness. If you agree with my training then you practically have to go through hell." Zetsu was really pumped up now. He had the co-ordinates to a place called twilight town. Maybe the gummi ship can take him there.

Turning to Ravian he said " Ya comin or not?"
