Onward says the Dark Cloud (FIGHT FUN THREAD)

[raiho]

"How disappointing, those are rare defective creatures, but not really rare defects like that Seed."

She reminded of her encounter with that stupid thing known as Seed, and for a moment she thought she felt a presence similar to it. Alas, all she found were 4 heartless that other than being rare, weren't the kind of specimens she required for her research.

"Beggars can't be choosers, I'll capture one or two and return to my laboratory"

At first she wanted to go after the one that looked unlike the others, like a palette swapped version which might be the strongest of them, but she hesitated for the strong stench of the filthy ones still lingered in the area, and the source wasn't neither of the inorganic-like freaks.

"My, my. Could one of them be the source of this stench?"

She followed the source of the stench and found that the source was either the man wearing heavy armor or the youth of pale skin. Oh, and nearby there was one of those capsule dispensing monsters and she chucked as she reminded trying to get capsule toys known as "gashapon" in her homeworld from gashapon machines that looked like them. Taking advantage of the temporal blindness induced in the monster known as Bulky Vendor 1 by the pale young man's jacket, she took it by surprise and grabbed it, pointing the monster's capsule shooting mouth at the pale man who blinded it with his jacket.

"If I were to take a guess, I would say that you are the source of this stench akin to the stench from certain "thing" who calls itself Seed."

And then she turned the crank of the monster to see what kind of stuff it would shoot at the man suspected of being like the defective thing known as Seed.

(For those who didn't use the color codes, USE THEM! It helps me keep up who's doing what to whom. Also read each other posts...some are interacting with the same heartless as others, and don't even acknowledge the other, . =o'' come ooon.)

The Bulky Vender 1 felt it's body lift off the floor. It squirmed not liking the new experience to height and the little sense of gravity it abided by. Leaning up, it glared at the knight's back. It growled as it dare to turn away from him. Opening it's lid, four pretty colored orbs shot at the knight's head as he chatted with another, Sin. It knew he was a heartless and smelled of the Elite and didn't want to cause retaliation with its brother, so it held back fire from hitting the fellow heartless. Before it can crash, it teleported with darkness.

Reappearing back it sided next to Sin, while growling at the knight, but it squeaked feeling a jacket dismiss him from an oppurtunity to get a heart. That Heartless took it's PREY! With grumbled unamused before being caught by surprised. It felt violated as a hand grip it's handle before spinning it. The Heartless squirmed before a gumball was spat out. With wide eyes, it orbed away, but returned to face it's perpretrator. She smelled of darkness.

It looked up at her from the floor. Although it would rather hug her like a fellow sister, it didn't admired the invasion of private space to its crank. It served a good gumball to the chest Saga's chest.


Bulky Vender 2 growled in unamusement at 627. Orbing on momentarily from it's grip, it reappeared above the alien to fall and bash on it's head, before spatting a hard munny at the same spot it wished to attack previously. Yellow eyes narrowed in a frown of frustration. Orbing back on the floor, it wiggled to sike itself up preparing for another head butt.

The Rare Vendor chuckled darkly above the frightened child before giving a roar preparing to knock him out with a gumball to the head. It ceased hearing two familar words. Two spells were casted at him, but with a wobbling wiggle, it attempted to move out of the way, but both spells collided with each other nuetralizing. Looking both ways, it tried to visualize what in the world happened. Two people were coming for it, Chinzo and Cyrus. Eyes widdened seeing a sword slash coming to knock it's central balance, while a dagger zoomed in for contact. The sword managed to save it from a double impact, but would Cryus be quick enough to evade the dagger that was meant for the Vender.

Seeing it caught to much attention, it made a run for it to a selcuded Alley.

Bulky Vender 3 still remained alone and unnoticed in the Accessory Store. Meanwhile as the fiends of darkness played, more darkness seeped through the gap underneath Traverse Town's large doors.

Sin Vs. Sir Lucas

As Sin challenged Sir Lucas, the Wolf Knight nearly literally jumped up and turned towards him. At that moment, gumballs went flying by his head. Two hitted him and got deflected by the wolflike helmet. The gumballs didn't even dented his platemail. But the sound resonating from his helmet as the gumballs ricochated off of them was mild torment for his ears and mind. After scouting for the source, he saw to his shock how the flying Bulky Vendor 1 used his powers of darkness to appear beside the young man that had summoned his blade against him.

Stunned and with disbelief he stared at the young teen that conjured a weapon out of thin air and intending on striking him. Instinctly he took a defensive stance towards him. Holding his shield in front and his longsword in a guarding position. Ready to counter any attack.
He called out to the young man:
"What?... But I mented for thee to defend thouself against the raveshing Heartless. What madness compells you to seek strife with me, while these monsters are rampaging through this here town?"

Sir Lucas then withnessed to his surpirse, how suddenly the Bulky Vendor 1 got grabbed by the young girl dressed like a handmaiden. And used it to fire a gumball at the man challenging him. Shouting something of him beeing the source of a certain stench. The knight failed to comprehend what she was talking about. But somewhere there was a relief that she was on his side.
But then in response, the Bulky Vendor 1 used it's powers of darkness again to reappear before her and shoot a gumball at her chest.
Sir Lucas warned her:
"LOOK OUT, HANDMAIDEN!"
He would have rushed to her aid if it wouldn't have left him wide open for an attack of the young teenager.

Eventhough he could follow the struggle of the girl in the maid outfit and the Bulky Vendor 1 from the corner in his eye. He also heard the failed magical coallision against the larger Heartless. And the alerting noises of how the battle progressed there weren't comforting to hear. At least the Rare Vendor was fleeing the battlefield and no longer preying on the young boy.
While keeping tabs on all that happened around him, he never removed his sight from Sin. The man that proclared itself his current opponent.

Still, the way how the heartless was not appearing hostile towards the young man as he threw his blue denim jacket over the Bulky Vendor 1's head was troubling him. There was something very disturbing about this young man. His weapon was unlike anything he had ever seen. And seemed to be brimming with a power beyond his own.

The Wolf Knight decided to wait. He was not intending on starting a fight if it wasn't neccesary. Seconds ago, he was considering that he may had to defend this man against the Heartless. Now he seemed to be driven by an inhuman will to clench his thirst for battle.


RECAP: Sir Lucas takes a defensive stance against Sin

[sanjiro]

Cyrus barely managed to shift out of the way as the dagger flew past, making another tear in his tunic. "Dammit!" He shot a glare at the man who had thrown the projectile. "What the hell are you doing?!" He shouted, before turning back towards the Ally that the Heartless had taken shelter in.

"Get back to your parents, kid," he ordered to the small child, before rushing down the Alley to chase down the Rare Vendor. He was not about to let some Heartless wander around Traverse Town. He found it rather odd that the Heartless had chosen a secluded alley, but was glad that it was somewhere away from innocent people that could get in the way.

"Come back here!" He roared, swinging his polearm at the strange machine-type Heartless as soon as he got close, a low slash that he hoped would knock it off balance, trying to prevent its escape as well as keeping it from retaliating easily.

[chinzovsmarth]

"OH! So, so sorry! I don't usually work with others, you see, and-" Chinzo was running toward the man, but he had already taken off. "Ohh, youngsters these days...!" He cast a quick spell and his dagger appeared in his hand again. Then he ran for the Alley that Cyrus had ran into and saw him swing for the Rare Vendor. With a surge of mana to the legs and feet, Chinzo jumped up, did a flip in the air, and sent a powerful Blizzara at the Rare Vendor from above, then twirled his dagger about, twisted in the air with an Aero(to help him move more quickly), and managed to land-then-stab the Rare Vendor's head-orb-thingie at the same time the Blizzara smashed into it.

"Underestimating me, dirty Heartless?" Chinzo grinned, somewhat cruelly.

RECAP: Chinzo hits the Rare Vendor from above with Blizzara, then casts Aero to go become faster, then lands and stabs the Rare Vendor in the back of its head-orb-thingie.

[Charme]

Sir Lucas vs. Sin

Those eyes... They were bright as the teen watched the soldier. The man was confused, his accent and vernacular foreign. Definitely from an underdeveloped World. Sin held he blade out and shook his head. This man just didn't understand. He thought of the Heartless as monsters. He would die quickly if he didn't understand what these creatures did. And that was another question... Bulky Vendors? Why were they here? The rarest Heartless out of the bunch, they seemed to have popped up randomly.

Sin felt a ping on the side of his head and sighed. The gumball fell into his outstretched hand and he shook his head. Crushing the gumball, he pulled out the secrets that were held within the Rare/Bulky Vendors. A small, shining crystal was uncovered from the dust of the gumball. Sin held it up and showed it to Sir Lucas.

"It's not about fighting, knight." He pulled the blade up to show the knight something. He moved the crystal to it and the blade seemed to liquidize where the crystal touched. It absorbed the ruby red crystal and Sin laughed. "If I do this, I gain freedom. I am a serf of Darkness, and it is my job to steal as many Hearts as possible." His Heart was beginning to fall. He could feel the Darkness corroding him from the inside. Soon enough... He would truly be a Heartless. "And I have to escape or I will turn into a beast similar to these."

He looked to the person who had shot at him to see who had shot at him. The girl... She spoke of his own Darkness. "You don't even understand the situation... And I'm not one of them. Not yet."

With a single movement, the blade rushed down, catching fire. The metal itself began to shift into a fiery scarlet, the Elemental Blade Virtegon unleashing its powers. Sin rose the blade as the fire began to turn black near the source... His Darkness was beginning to show even in his most basic forms. His eyes glowed brighter as he looked between the two figures. Would he have to use... Sin? He didn't want to use his Darkness. It might eat away at whatever Heart he had left. He flames rippled, spreading an oily heat through the area.

Recap: Syn talks to Sir Lucas and Saga, activated his ability Fire Soul, which gives him Fire elemental magic/attacks.

[raiho]

"Oh, I should have kept a stronger grip on that gashapon machine"

No big loss, that Bulky Vendor 1 was a rare kind of monster but other than it's rarity, it lacked any interesting attribute other than it's unusual inorganic shape. And talking about that disgusting creature, it even dare to attack her with one of those gumball-like projectiles, which she easily captured with her right hand in midair and would've done that even without the warnings of the knight who was fighting against the pale man who had the horrible stench of the heartless.

"Hmm .. neither hard nor fast enough to deal any significant damage, this kind of defective creature is not a threat at all."

The pale man, whom she tried to attack using the odd machine-like nature freak, picked one of those projectiles and revealed that they contained treasure. The bunny maid cosplaying eccentric scientist repeated what the now fire powered man did and to her surprise she found a most precious treasure in her hand: Orichalcum!

"Orichalcum? This is a very valuable material. It'll fetch a small fortune in the Black Market"

With that little gem in her hand, she would get a step closer to her goal of buying a gummy ship, so she saved it inside one of the pockets of her skirt, decided that she might hunt those gashapon-like freaks later. But first, she had to work her magic with the pale man.

"Nice fire trick, prisoner of the heartless. I wonder if you are better than that green haired human looking heartless I easily defeated. He had an overinflated ego and a stupid laugh like yours and loved to make random illusions and other circus tricks."

Typical of her style, she was taunting him. She did fight against a green haired heartless who was known as Seed, and while she didn't crush him like she said, that man didn't know that and if he were related with the defective monsters who look like human, he might spill the beans and mention valuable information.

"And you knight, you should know that this man smells like those defectives creatures named heartless. He seems to be still human but he's so weak willed he's gonna become a heartless soon or later. If you want to beat him don't kill him, I want to get a new specimen for my research."

(yes yes =o thank-you for godmodding --;; Cooontinuing, this rounds March 30th.)

Bulky Vendor 1 didn’t like the excessive company and decided to teleport. Bulky Vendor 2 had done the same, while the alien remained unresponsive. They felt troubles occurring elsewhere. Teleporting in the same location, in front of the Accessory Shop, they muttered amongst each other looking a head to see the fallen terrified boy had already gotten up and made a run for it.

Although that lacked visible ears, they heard ruckus emitting from a nearby alleyway. Jumping up them teleported to where they could still sense the Rare Vendor. When attacked or felt threatened Vendors tend to gain more speed than usual, and like a walking toaster it fled from Cyrus’s strike only feeling it push it further into the alley. Feeling the ice impacted its glass; the Rare Vendor shook itself clean, but jumped feeling a harsh scratch against its glass. (Note: Aero is a defensive spell not a buff.)

Looking back the Rare Vendor felt cornered looking between both Chinzo and Cyrus, but it worries slightly lesson as it heard a warping sound. Bulky Vendor 1 and Bulky Vendor 2 emitted from the dark realm behind the pair before shooting their gumballs at their rear.

Rare Vendor, Bulky Vendor 2, Bulky Vendor 1 vs. Chizo and Cyrus. FIGHT!

There was a duo purpose for their change of position. They could feel more darkness rise up and didn’t want to be in the way of their brethrens; also vendors worked well alone or with their own specie. They would rather try to get two hearts versus being trampled.

A large rumble could be heard sounding more like a stampede, which is quite irregular for the semi-peaceful nightly world. The ground began quivering as a constant rhythm waved through the door.

The doors burst open as darkness squirmed through like vicious vipers as a low grunting growl could be heard with a high cooing screech. As the darkness cleared one could see emerald hooves. Its skin was dark, but had a bluer hue than the dark mist that began to clear. As it charge out front one would noticed the bright yellow and orange flame prine on its forearm, back, and hind legs as well as large maroon horns. The Destroyed Behemoth galloped throughout the first district emitting a loud gurgling groan from the pit of its stomach. Its yellow eyes narrowed as a blue horn above it charged.

Darkness ripped on its bald head as a figured spun elegantly on purple toes to clear it away. She stood in a defensive stance in a low crouch with her purple tail curled out, but a slingshot was tightly gripped in her paws. The Sniperwild sat on the behemoth being its rider. Her earrings jingled as she whistled for more. Like heathens six Powerwilds ran through the doors in the mist of darkness.

The little innocent bystanders that were left had already beging to run with Powerwilds charging closely behind them hungrily. Powerwild 1 and Powerwild 2 stalked after a screaming young woman. Powerwild 1 lashed out its paws to trip her, but she managed to run pass the Accessory Shop drawing closer to the door leading to the Second District. Powerwild 2 had teleported to stop her in her tracks before she could escape into a different district of the world.

Powerwild 1 and Powerwild 2 vs. Innocent Bystander.

Powerwild 3 and Powerwild 4 sniffed at hearts in the Accessory Shops to hunt down the moogles in the upper room. They didn’t use the doors, but teleported inside, but darkness seeped underneath the door signifying their presence. Craning up their heads, they sniffed about searching for them. Powerwild 3 had paused sensing a heartless nearby. Standing on its hind legs it stood to poke the Bulky Vendor 3. Powerwild 4 hissed at it’s counterpart to stay on task. Nodding, they both teleported.

A pale ear twitched as a red pom-pom swayed. The moogles were busy cooking up more merchandise for their costumers. Synthesis takes intense concentration, since one mishap with the ingredients and time can ruin it all. Hearing an odd warping sound, the both paused and looked at their old customers in confusion, “Kupo?”

Powerwild 3 and Powerwild 4 vs. Moogles

The remaining Powerwilds, 5 and 6, crept up closer to Saga swaying their tails suggestively. Hearing a loud monkey cry from Sniperwild, Powerwild 5 leapt up with its black thick claws reading to slash at her chest and neck, while Powerwild 6 slid along the floor with its foot out to trip her or disturb her center of balance.

Powerwild 5 and Powerwild 6 vs. Saga

The Destroyed Behemoth growled lowly at Sir Lucas differentiating friend from foe. It’s blue horn illuminate with a thundaga charge. The Sniperwild would permit Sin to ride on the Destroy Behemoth, which she told with a beckoning hand.

Sir Lucas Vs. Powerwild 1 and Powerwild 2

The Wolf Knight was staring in shock at the way things were turning out. The explanation of the young man, aswel as the things that the maid told to him, were mind boggling for the simple knight.
And things got a lot worse now that an incredible huge beast had appeared with ape resembling Heartless in it's wake.

Again he yelled out to Saga to warn her. Although she would probably have noticed her incoming besiegers herself by now. Seeing how the Sniperwild beckoned the young man to mount the Destroyed Behemoth.
The crackling horn buzzing with electrical energy that seemed to be destined for himself was also very intimidating.
Composing himself from the shock and all this, he called out to Sin one last time:

"Young man, If thy truelly wished to escape, thou would not submit so easily and cowardly to the Heartless. Thou would fight them alongside us.
Thee will never gain freedom if thee continue down thy current path. For each heart thy steal, thee will sink deeper into the abyss of darkness untill there is no more salvation. Make no illusion about that, good man.
...
I could help thee. Thou are not yet fully shackled to the will of the Heartless. Thou can be saved. But only if thee has the strenght and bravery to take the first step, and resist them."

The sudden scream of a panicking woman caused Sir Lucas attention to be drawn elsewhere. To his fright he saw how Powerwild 1 and Powerwild 2 had cornered an innocent bystander.
Not awaiting how the fiery young man would respond he inmediatly turned round and ran at his full speed towards the two Heartless.
Initiating a powerfull charge with a loud scream to announce his arrival and draw their attention to himself rather then their prey. Charging he rushed towards Powerwild 2 and swung his longsword at him with a broad swing. To fight off or scare away the Powerwild 2 blocking the exit to the Second District
As he yelled to the woman:
"Quickly, flee for safety!"

Rare Vendor, Bulky Vendor 2, Bulky Vendor 1 vs. Chizo and Cyrus

Cyrus cursed as two more of the odd Vendor Heartless warped into the area. "Hey you, old man! Take the weird one. I'll handle the other two." He shouted behind him, as he turned around to face the two that had just appeared. He winced as one of the gumballs smashed into his shoulder, breaking apart at impact, but the rest were being blocked by his large polearm.

Let's hope that old man doesn't die on me here! He thought as he ducked and blocked the large gumballs shot his way. He spat next to where he stood, and gave a feral grin. "I won't let any of theses pieces of shit get past this point!"

Cyrus barely noticed the few bright gems shining on the ground as he charged forward, now spinning his weapon to block the unceasing barrage of gumballs, as he rushed at Bulky Vendor 1. He swung with a large horizontal arc, hoping to catch it on his blade and swing it into the body of Bulky Vendor 2. "Take this, scum!"

Regardless of whether or not his plan was a success, he continued his assault relentlessly, and with a loud roar, swung upwards into the nearest vendor, to knock it into the air, before reversing his momentum and attempting to slam it into the ground with a downwards arc, aiming at the glass area.

[globber]

627 was just about to pound his two fists against the glass of the heartless machine, but the beast suddenly vanished into darkness! "Hmmmm ...." The red alien's gumball nose twitched and began sniffing at the air. That hardcore dark stench became much more explosive. Darkness seemed as though it poured into every last corner that existed within the district. Suddenly, a huge bumbling godzilla-sized Destroyed Behemoth lumbered into town, followed by a group of monkey heartless.

"Gwoooharrrrgggghhh .... EeeEEeVvvAAAaaaAallllLL...." 627 proudfully muttered to himself under his breath. He had indirectly achieved what he's wanted. Total chaos!

627 vs Powerwild 3 and Powerwild 4

The red alien's long ears perked up a little. A familair sound could be heard from underneath his feet. His black eyes, stil squinted, stared down at the roof. His ears twitched once again at another noise .... "Mooooogaaaalllls .... Tasty stupid moogles!" 627 punched his fist into the accesory shop sign and absorbed all of its energy. As the electrcity swirled into his hands, his face briefly flashed a dark smile. He then pounded his fist into the roof multiple times, destroying it underneath his feet.

He fell into a brightened room. Around him a few moogles and two of those monkey monsters, Powerwild 3 and Powerwild 4. 627's evil smile showed itself. So, what's his evil going to destroy this time? Deciding to get rid of his competition before eating the moogles, 627 charged up the electricity he stole. From his very claw tips, a powerful bolt of electricity fired out, aimed at Powerwild 3.

[Charme]

Sir Lucas vs. Sin

Sin listened to the man with doubt. It wasn't possible... That road only led to death. The Dark Corridors could not be stopped. The Dark XII was the only superpower... He couldn't be protected. He lowered the blade as new chaos spread into the district.

"You can help?" A knight without any form of magical power... New to these Worlds. That man, Sir Lucas, reminded Sin of himself. The fire that coated Sin dwindled and disappeared. He lowered his head and sighed. "Fine. Let's do it."

He took a step forward, holding out his hand, and stopped. A smile... The black blade clattered against the ground, a shriek resounding through the air. Sin was on his knees, breathing heavily. The black crystal that dripped Darkness began to crack, and Sin twitched with pain after every sound. A black oil traveled up the blade...

Tattoos rippled to life as the black oil ran up the teen's arm. Thin, spiderwebbing tattoos created a rippling artwork as the black oil finally settled in a tribal form. Sin looked back up to Sir Lucas to reveal a deep gold in his eyes. He stumbled back, revealing a new pair of sharp teeth at the corners of his mouth. His skin had gone pale, the black blade left on the ground, which was slowly filtering away into ash.

The thing did not speak. It merely grabbed the Sniperwild's hand and jumped onto the Destroyed Behemoth's back. Black flames coated its right arm as it stood far above the pair, Saga and Lucas.

RECAP: Sin attempts to escape but is taken by Parasitic Heartless, joins Destroyed Behemoth

[raiho]

Saga simply sighed as the man-heartless being made deaf ears to her words and ignored them. However, something equally interesting happened when the knight proved to be as skilled with the word as he was with the sword: Choosing carefully his words he convinced the human-heartless hybrid to stop his attack and calm down. Alas, his efforts were for nothing, the heartless side of the man emerged and took either completely of partial control of the human side and what's more, many more monsters appeared from all directions, and two of them attempted to attack yours truly.

"They can even take the shape of monkeys and gigantic creatures plus parasite still living humans, those incomplete beings compensate with diversity their lack of value"

In a slip of a second she determinated that compared with the giant freak and the man-human hybrid, the monkeys were of no value and she was better pursuing the secrets of the colossal monster. Using the face of the monkey type Power wild 5 who dared to leap after her as stepping stone, she jumped on the right side of the giant monster Destroyed Behemoth and slowly crawled to it's back, inserting completely the length of her claw gloves to make sure the beast couldn't shake her off with each advance, until being at a perfect distance from the man-heartless and the she-monkey Sniper Wild who helped him to climb that behemoth of monster, just close enough to talk with the man-heartless but far enough to have time to remove the claws and dodge any incoming attack be from the monkeys, the man himself or an unexpected attack from that giant monster.

"Man-heartless, those filthy creatures only exist to be used as tools for humanity's progress. If you let yourself become the tool of a tool you deserve not the help of that knight who found something good in you. If still have a human mind inside that pathetic shape your took, learn to control your tool, learn from me!"

Being purposely vague with her words, she hinted at the now mindless formerly human now half-heartless creature that she too had part of a heartless inside her, but unlike him, she made of the heartless dark matter her slave, not the opposite. She had total control and domination on what once was a heartless and now was just a component more of her body, unable to cause any harm to the one who transcended both humanity and heartless.

From the back of the Behemoth she also noticed some of the monkey types, specifically Power Wild 3 and Power Wild 4 disappearing in front of the accessory shop. She assumed from the top what they were trying to do and didn't like like the idea of losing those useful blacksmiths, who were playing an important role in providing humans with weapons needed to deal with the dark defects.

"Somebody go and save those moogles, they are more useful than the other civilians"

If nobody were to assist them now, she was willing to leave her pursuit of the man-heartless and the gigantic monster to save them. While the moogles weren't directly part of her plans, they were the only ones who could synthesize certain tools and materials she used for her research and their loss would delay greatly part of it.

[Shun]

Sir Lucas and Mikael Vs. Powerwild 1 and Powerwild 2

Hidden on a rooftop as the battle unfold, the his eyes narrowed. More of them had arrived: six monkeys and a female one (Sniperwild) riding some sort of giant animal (Destroyed Behemoth). About a dozen of rare Heartless had appeared. That was not normal... not in Traverse Town.

Suddenly, he heard a scream. His gaze darted off to see a young woman (Innocent Bystander), running while being chased by Powerwild One and Powerwild Two. He would be needed after all. While another man (Sir Lucas) was taking care of Powerwild Two, Mikael created a small amount of fire in his hands before starting to multiply it around him.

"Balthazar, give me your strength!"

A volley of fireballs was launched toward Powerwild One, hopefully burning the monkey alive. The pyromancer jumped from the building, landing beside Sir Lucas.

"Seconded, ma'am. Get to safety now!"

Closing his eyes, Mikael looked for other dark auras nearby. He would need his ability now since he wasn't able to see the whole battlefield anymore. There was a group of six beings of darkness: Destroyed Behemoth, Sniperwild, Powerwild Five, Powerwild Six and two human-like beings. The male's aura (Sin) was darker, similar to a Heartless's but not completely identical, while the female's aura (Saga) seemed to be fifty per cent human and fifty per cent Heartless.

Two humes (Cyrus and Chinzo) were near the Accessory Shop, facing Bulky Vendor One, Bulky Vendor Two and Rare Vendor. In side the shop, Powerwild Three and Powerwild Four fought a familiar 627 and two Moogles while Bulky Vendor Three remained alone.

"Nevermind, the Heartless are everywhere." Mikael opened his eyes, turning to the Innocent Bystander. "Stay nearby, this man and me will protect you."

RECAP: Mikael jumped into battle, aiding Sir Lucas against Powerwild One and Powerwild Two. Sensing the nearby Heartless, Mikael decides to protect Innocent Bystander.

[chinzovsmarth]

"Oh-ho-ho! Old man, you say! I'm but sixteen years old! YEEE-HAW!!!" He screamed as the thundering sound of more Heartless rippled through the area. He tore forward with his rod and smacked it onto the head of the Rare Vendor. He gathered up his energies and tore a blast of lightning and ice at the Rare Vendor. His glowing white eyes flashed a bright ruby-red and he twirled about to see several more Heartless thundering about the streets. He hurled a random Blizzara into the thick of things and turned back to the vendors.

He looked at the other two vendors and cast Fire around himself to hold them back, while he waved his rod about dangerously.

"Back, vile creatures!"
