Re: Tales of Alidaire: Heart of the World

Clara turned into the West Wing, remembering that Chesire had said something about their rooms being there. For whatever reason she felt as though there was something wrong, and getting to at least one of her friends might help fix that. Not to mention she had not seen this side of the castle yet, though she was fairly certain it was not much different from the East Wing. And she was in luck for the second she entered the wing, Ryas and Tenkai had exited one of the rooms and were headed in her direction. Not to mention Chris was just barely visible out of the corner of the Pianist's eye, sleeping in a room just a little bit to her left.

"Oh! Hello Ryas, Tenkai." she said, moving towards them and turning to keep with the witch's pace as she met up with them. "I was just looking for you guys," she added "I can't seem to find Trinity and Kazega though."

Chris stirred from her mid-sleep state upon hearing heels clicking against the castle floor, and then fully awoke upon hearing Clara's voice. Ryas and Tenkai were with her, as stated by the Pianist. The Telekinetic sat up straight, listening as the younger woman said something about Trinity and Kazega. And she proceeded to get out of bed and follow on behind them, remembering to steel herself just in case the Assassin attempted to play with her again.

As the pianist suddenly appeared at their side, Ryas visibly bristled. She still hadn't forgiven the woman about her earlier comments but wasn't about to make a huge fuss about it. Instead, the witch stared steadily forward, keeping in mind not to stomp. Tenkai, in contrast, returned the woman's greeting.

"They appear to be in the kitchen with the Queen," the assassin said, resting her chin lightly on the knuckles of her right hand as her left supported the right's elbow. Her eye then caught sight of Chris and it flashed with obvious amusement. She did not, however, greet the psychic and instead, ignored her.

"What about Alice?" Ryas then demanded, narrowing her eyes suspiciously. She was quite positive the little blonde was supposed to be with the Queen. Tenkai grinned.

"Alice," she began slowly, purring the word out. "Has left the building."

There was a pause.

"WHAT?!!?"

by **Masquerade** Fri Jun 15, 2012 3:03 pm

Dashing out of the kitchen after bidding a curt farewell to the cooking queen, Trinity and Kazega made their way down the illustrious hall in an attempt to reach the West Wing. To their pleasant surprise, they ran into the others on their way to the rooms just in time to hear Ryas's rather loud exclamation. Trinity waved at them and eventually came to a stop before them with Kazega easily on her heels. "Wh-what's the matter, Ryas?" Trinity asked, even though she knew there was plenty to be displeased about. Alice was gone even though the White Queen had said not to worry about it, and apparently the only weapon that could save her was in the hands of the right wrong Alice. The Dealer of the Cards. In the back of her mind, Trinity knew a showdown with her was inevitable. After not being able to get them on the side of darkness, she probably thought it best to eradicate them, but she would soon find that the powers of light were greater than what she expected.

Kazega took the letter out of Trinity's hand and showed it to the others. "Whatever the matter is, it's about to get worse. Take a look at this," she stated urgently, shaking the letter just a bit for emphasis before holding it out straight so they could read it more easily. "Apparently our friend Alice wants to play with us for real this time."

Trinity grimaced a tad. This wasn't going to brighten anyone's moods. That much was for sure. "Yeah, apparently she got sick of the mind games and is planning on beating some sense into us. Probably some last resort attempt to get us to join her side." She took a moment to allow a mischievous grin cross her face. "Though, in my opinion, I think she just wants to spend some more time with Ryas," she said matter-of-factly, though in a joking manner, looking at the witch directly to gauge her reaction.

by Xenosaga Fri Jun 15, 2012 3:43 pm

Ryas spluttered, mouth opening and closing soundlessly as she tried to digest this new information. Gone. Alice was gone. Alice, who was supposed to be with the Queen, was gone. And now. Now the other Alice decided it was funny to fuck with them. Words could not describe the anger and fury that began to bubble within her. There was a flicker and then a spark and, suddenly, balls of fire the size of candlelights lit around her. At the same time, the floor beneath her feet cracked. Tenkai watched with growing fascination. She had never seen this sort of reaction from the witch before.

"What's wrong?!" Ryas spat once her voice returned, her fists clenched tightly enough that her nails were breaking the skin of her palm. Wisps of fire curled around her being as her rage began to reach its peak, her coal black eyes seeming swirl like the deep abyss. "What's WRONG?! I'll tell you what's wrong!" She snatched the paper from Kazega, sending Trinity a glare that could be the equivalent of a meteor storm in terms of destructive power.

"This little bitch," she seethed, teeth gritted. Her body was surprisingly steady despite the sheer fury she radiated. "First Alice is gone to god knows fucking where without any help because she's supposed to be this martyr Champion and now this cocksucking whoreface thinks it's funny to fuck with us? Well then, she's got another fucking thing coming, doesn't she?" Ryas shredded the paper to pieces before setting the specks on fire, letting the burning ashes fall to the cracked floor.

Eyes smouldering, the witch turned them on her companions. "We find her. We kill her. We give the thrice-damned sword to Alice. And then, we leave this wretched excuse of a world."

by **Silver** Fri Jun 15, 2012 3:57 pm

Clara shook slightly as Ryas' anger bubbled into a fierce mixture of what was honestly the scariest outburst she had ever seen. Of course having a sister like Arianna meant she had been through many, but nothing before had been like this. And she supposed that it came from their being two different people; but even then this... this was something without precedence. The Pianist had no experience handling this, and as such she was quite visibly shaken by it. The color in her face drained as she tried to form a response to what Ryas proposed. But nothing came forth, and as such she was left standing there.

Ultimately it was for the better. Ryas, though harsh with how she said it, was right and had said everything that need be said. They needed to find the Card Dealer, finish her off, and move onto Radiant Garden like they were supposed to. Tarrying here was unwise, and everyone knew it deep down inside.

Chris on the other hand, was not shaking, and could not help but break the stoic attitude she had set up. Like Tenkai she was rather amused by the Witch's reaction to everything, but not so amused that she enjoyed it. Instead, it was a sign for her to not do as she had done earlier when they arrived at the castle. Then she had been fairly certain she could at the very least handle the Witch, but now it was made very clear that Ryas was no pushover. If she had this bubbling under the surface, it was no doubt that she could unleash this and possibly more. And even if there was not more, the Telekinetic would not be pushing the Witch anymore. That was definite.

by **Masquerade** Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:08 pm

"It was just a question...," Kazega mumbled to herself after Ryas's little campaign of rage directed towards the right wrong Alice. The main thought that passed through Kazega's mind now was really a pondering of whether or not Alice would make claims to be reborn from the darkness as Kalaya had back on Alidaire. It was granted, of course, that they hadn't seen her since, but it had been such a short time. What if they really did run into her again? Ryas would probably make her explode with a single look judging from this reaction she was having now. Not wanting to make things worse by spurting out that prospect, she looked to Trinity who seemed to be handling everything quite well.

"Then let's go kill the bitch then," the supposed warrior of the light so deigned to respond with a smirk on her face. She turned her back to the group and started making her way for the main corridor that would lead out to the beautiful courtyard. There was no doubt the others would follow. Alice hadn't specified a time so Trinity figured the woman might already be there. Waiting for them.

"It's not like we have a choice," Kazega said to the others solemnly before gracefully spinning and starting after Trinity. What she spoke was the truth. One, they needed to get the Vorpal Sword for the right right Alice for when she returned, and two, no one was about to try and tell Ryas to calm down and wait it out because that would probably wind up with the person fried to a crisp.

As such, the group, with heavy hearts and burdens to carry, set out across the courtyard and out onto the Dead Plains. Traveling along the rather deserted, worse for wear road that led to the castle, the group found themselves sensing something...unsettling. That unsettling feeling was revealed to be nothing but an ambush. From portals of darkness, the large, fat-bellied Heartless they had seen before materialized, and there were quite a few of them this time, though no other types of Heartless accompanied them. There was no doubt in Trinity's mind that the trap had been set for them in an attempt to wear them out before they even reached the right wrong Alice.

"Guess we better clean them out," Trinity said, summoning her keyblades in twin flashes of light while entering a battle stance. "At least this will make for some good warm up before we fight the real threat."

Clara begins at J7!

Chris begins at I7!

"I suppose this was to be expected." Clara murmured as she sat down at her organ, looking around carefully at the opposing Heartless. It seemed there were only the fat ones this time, which meant she need not hold back once she finished supporting the party. There were not any of those little mages to prevent her from using her offensive abilities. However that did mean the others would need to take care in not attacking them from the front, otherwise they would not do any damage.

"I'm surprised she sent anything at all." Chris spoke up, focusing in on the nearest Large Body. "She seemed rather keen on finishing us herself." she added in the same volume. Despite having barely gotten a look at the letter before Ryas destroyed it in her rage, the Telekinetic had been able to get a decent look at it. The right wrong Alice seemed pretty confident she could beat them herself, so why send Heartless after them? "Perhaps she thinks she needs us a little worn out?"

by Xenosaga Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:51 pm

"We," Ryas began evenly as she stepped onto the field at the front of the group, completely disregarding the fact she was a very fragile nuke. "Will destroy them. And move on." She had no intention of wasting shitloads of time on these shitty fuckers when Alice was in danger and needed that god damned, motherfucking sword. She glared fiercely at the Heartless. "I'll obliterate you all from existence." She hissed, fire flaring around her being.

[Ryas] starts at [I-5].

"Oh in due time, Ryas," Tenkai stated in an almost placating manner, appearing next to the witch. She quickly assessed their enemies and chose her targets. It wouldn't do if Ryas were to get hit by any of them. And with the way the brunette was acting, it was very likely this would happen. She flexed her claws, eye bleeding red. "All in due time."

[Tenkai] starts at [I-6].

Player Phase 1!

Trinity casts Ultima on all enemies! 36 Dmg! (INT)

MP: 31/55

If it was absolute decimation of these pathetic excuses for distractions Ryas wanted, then absolute decimation she would get. Trinity would make sure to help speed things along, for she knew Ryas would probably be aching to destroy the things herself. Raising her hand into the air, green light began to waver in the air glowing brighter and brighter until it reached the point of physically burning the bodies of the Heartless, and if they had any internal organs, those would be scorched as well. There was no escaping the dangerous magic as it suffused the deserted path and eventually faded from existence. "It's kinda nice getting to use that every once in a while," she stated firmly, taking a more offensive stance. If she were to counterattack one of these things, she'd probably resort to a physical onslaught should they draw close enough such that she could attack them from the sides or back easy.

Trinity waits.

Kazega uses Strengthening Zone! [User ATK +40%]

MP: 67/75

Kazega clashed her new fans together in front of her causing a zephyr to surround her in a mere instant, keeping her muscles strong and her blood pumping. Now that she had the mana reservoir for it, she was tempted to unleash one of her most powerful attacks, but decided against expending so much mana in this situation. Even if the Heartless weren't the most powerful, it would still prove wise to be a bit more conservative and thus preserving versatility. She kept her eye on one that was hanging near the wayside. Depending on how the others reacted, the Heartless would most likely attack accordingly. For now, there was no way to predict their next moves. Heartless tended to be rather fickle anyway. Thinking about them made Kazega fume, though her outward demeanor remained calm as it usually was.

Kazega waits.

Clara's fingers quickly swayed to the leftmost end of the organ and danced up to the right end, as she had done quite a bit recently. She was not worried that any of them would have any problem fighting off the enemy, but a little buff could not hurt anyone. Especially Ryas, who despite her mood and willingness, would likely fall easily without the extra defense.

Chris moves to I8!

Chris stepped over to the side expertly, getting into a better range which would allow her to easily perform most of her skills. Focusing in on the large Heartless, she squinted her eyes and raised the hand holding her beads in the air. With a quick muttered swirl of the hand, the water vapor above the enemy gathered together and formed a darkened cloud. With a quick snap the the cloud began to pour rain down on top of the opposing target and hopefully would drench it completely.

"Then let's get to it!" Ryas snarled, bringing a hand back. Bursting into life in the palm of her hand was a ball of orange flames the size of a baseball. Raising it above her head, she allowed it to grow rapidly, her new ring glowing brightly as it fed her its power, until it swirled above her head, resembling miniature sun. She then launched it at the closest Heartless with all her strength, watching it blast the creature with its blazing tendrils.

[Ryas] casts Fira on [Obese]. 49 INT Fire DMG. Chance of Burn.
MP: 66/80

"Try not to be too reckless, Ryas," Tenkai warned in a murmur, moving herself forward in order to get a good position to attack in. She wasn't too worried about the woman as the pianist had cast her protective magic on them but rushing in was always her job. She couldn't just let the witch take it away from her because the brunette was angry. She softly chuckled at that. Ryas was always angry. Her current state was no different than her previous ones. Now, if the witch were to go quiet, that was the time to fear.

[Tenkai] moves to [F-7].

This seemed like a good time to use the darkness to her advantage. Granted, it hadn't work the first two times she tried but, as the saying went, third time's the charm. Besides, even with her positioning, she wasn't positive as to whether or not her attack would work. Flexing her claws, she felt deep inside of her, searching. Finding what she was looking for, she coaxed the inky black abyss into doing her bidding, eye glowing crimson as the assassin ordered the shadows to rise. They did so, latching onto the heads of the Heartless in an attempt to cloud their vision.

The good thing about the Heartless being the size that they were was that they were rather slow in their advance. However, she witnessed one get close enough to deliver a short-lived charge with its belly aimed at Ryas whose pawn was fast to take the damage. "You're bound to make a lot of enemies that way, Ryas," she commented lightly before getting next to the large Heartless that had attacked her, tapping it on the arm. "These guys probably don't like being roasted. So I say let's batter 'em." With that, she turned on the thing quickly and bashed her keyblades into it. From the left. From the right. A few more nondescript slashes ended her small combo, and she went back into a defensive stance, readying herself for a counterattack. Hopefully her brazen onslaught was enough to garner its attention. Ryas was powerful, but when it came to the defense and physical stamina department, she was severely lacking. She'd be no use to anyone dead.

Kazega moves to I3.

Kazega attacks Lardo! 4 hits! 28 Dmg per hit! (ATK) [Target DEF -5% per hit]

Kazega took a step forward and unleashed her fans with a flick of her wrists. They sawed through the air and slashed one after the other at the side of the large Heartless nearest her. She caught both fans, but immediately loosed them again, hurling them at a straight trajectory this time for faster results, catching them again for a second time, but deigning to hold onto them. The wind surrounding her was vastly improving her physical strength, and she was thankful for that, not to mention her fans seemed to chip away at the defenses of the Heartless she had attacked. "So that's what they do...," she murmured to herself, taking solace in her weapon's effect, not to mention they were strong in their own right, boosting both her physical and her magical capabilities.

Fucking thing hit hard. Ryas hissed in annoyance as the giant Heartless impacted across her pawn, the shockwave sending a breeze to blow at her. She really needed to do something about her defenses, it was starting to become a pain in the ass having to rely on Clara's protection all the time. And even then, sometimes, it wouldn't be enough.

"I'll leave the bashing department to you three," the witch stated, sending a sweeping glance at Trinity, Kazega and Tenkai. Though it pissed her off to admit it, she was severely lacking in the physical department. If she didn't boost herself with her magic power, she wouldn't even have enough power to crush a paper ball. Seeing a nice target over where the psychic was, Ryas took a step closer.

[Ryas] moves to [I-6].

Dark clouds began to emerge over its head and Ryas raised a hand. There was a spark before electricity began to run its way around her appendage. She flicked her hand out at the grey cloud that had formed and watched as the magic shot free through the air, impacting the cloud and causing it to darken. There was a rumble of thunder and then, a spark of lightning struck down, shocking the Heartless to its core. The electricity was greatly amplified by the water that covered the creature.

[Ryas] casts Thundara on [Weighsalot]. 32 Lightning INT DMG. Damage doubled because of Wet status. 64 Lightning INT DMG! Chance of Paralyze.
MP: 63/80

[Tenkai] moves to [F-5].

"Very well then," Tenkai complied. It was more her field after all. She would rather tear things apart than stand back and wait around for something to happen. Swiftly making her way behind the giant Heartless that had attacked Ryas, she buried her claws deep into its back, adding onto the damage Trinity had dealt. She had no doubt it would retaliate, however, she didn't mind. A little pain was always worth it.

[Tenkai] attacks [Obese]. 27 ATK DMG. 2 hits. Chance of inflicting a Random Status Ailment.

"Just an extra touch..." Clara almost sang along as her melody changed into the typical upbeat tune she'd been playing. Soon lights swirled around the party and the few minor wounds they had received began to heal themselves. The melody then eased into a simple tune that merely acted as a transitional flow for whatever she decided to do next, which would likely be attacking the enemy.

Before the cloud Ryas had created could disperse, Chris began to act upon it herself, forcing more lightning to crackle inside the dark figure. With a quick bring down of her hand, which had remained up in the air, a large burst of lightning surged downward. A startling boom rang out as a clap of thunder crossed the area, leaving the Telekinetic smiling.

"Looks like they're a bit eager to smack us around," Trinity stated, raising her keyblades to defend against the heavy punches the Large Bodies threw at her. The shockwave had caught her by surprise, but Clara's magic was healing away the injuries the moment they were dealt. The barrier surrounding her helped mitigate the damage, so she looked to be in good shape. Backing away, Trinity raised a keyblade suddenly causing a huge column of fire to blaze out of the place she had just been standing it before lowering and dispersing outwards such that it scathed the two Heartless that had previously been caught in her counterattack.

"They might be pushovers, but let's keep our guard up everyone," she called out to the others. They were adequately protected and dealing plenty of damage, but it was when the brave warrior grew careless that he or she would find himself or herself in the deepest despair.

Trinity casts Fira on G4! Hits Obese and Needsadiet! 25 Fire Dmg! (INT)

Kazega moves to H4.

Kazega was quick to take Trinity's place near the Heartless, shielding the woman from their approach. With the winds adamantly serving her, any Heartless that drew near would be nearly pushed back. Focusing on one of the Heartless directly ahead of her, Kazega waved a fan through the air with great force, actually putting effort behind it as if it were hard to complete the action. As a result, the winds were whipped into a tizzy in an instant. Kazega directed them with her fans, making a spiraling motion while keeping her concentration intact. A great tornado formed around the Heartless and lifted it high up into the air. Slashing the air with one of her fans, the tornado dissipated and the winds calmed allowing the Heartless to fall to the ground with a heavy thud.

[Ryas] casts Thundara on [Weighsalot]. 64 Lightning INT DMG due to Wet status!

"Waste of space," Ryas growled as she once more generated electricity along her arm. The black cloud had not dissipated just yet, she still had use for after all. Launching her sparking mana at the cloud, it caused a chain reaction with initiated an even stronger bolt of lightning down on the giant Heartless, just like before. Sparks flew as the Heartless was once again shocked to the system, unable to do anything about it since it was paralyzed.

Seeing as how the psychic would no doubt finish it off, Ryas turned her attention to the remaining Heartless. The one she had burned was going to fall even without her attacking it and she wasn't about to waste time and mana on something that was already dead. She wanted this done and over with as soon as possible. The witch returned to her original position, allowing her to maximize the usage of her range.

[Ryas] moves to [I-5].

There were three surrounding her and only one was fairing better than the other two. Seeing as how Ryas wanted this done and over with, Tenkai supposed it would be in her best interest not to mess around. Besides, Trinity and Kazega were already proving to be more than effective on the two. Her decision made, the assassin moved.

[Tenkai] moves to [E-6].

Her claws dug into the softness of the Heartless' side in quick succession before she pulled away and waited for the retaliation. It would be interesting just what sort of effect her attacks would have. Though, if it failed like the last attempt, it seemed she was more effective in dealing damage rather than trying to place status ailments on their enemies.

"Nice shot Ryas," Clara chimed from her seat, "and you too, Chris." It had been a rather nice teamwork that the two had pulled off, which was quite surprising since earlier they had been at each other's throats. But even more surprisingly than that, the Heartless they had double-teamed was still soaking wet despite being fried twice. "You should be able to finish it, Chris." She added quickly, turning back to the keys to once again focus on her playing. Clara's fingers quickly danced around the instrument, changing from the transitional melody into a quick paced tune. It was not much, but it would have to do.

Clara attacks the Enemy Party! 2 Hits! 22 Int Damage per Hit!

Chris waved half-heartedly towards the Pianist with her free hand, muttering something of thanks to the girl before focusing in on the target once again. It was still soaking wet so frying it again would deal the most damage to it, especially if Ryas joined in again. As Clara had commented, it likely would not be standing if they double-teamed it yet again. Clenching her hand tightly she brought her arm down and watched as the dispersing clouds returned and struck the creature with a large bolt of lightning.

Trinity casts Blizzara on Lardo! 28 Ice Dmg! (INT)

MP: 15/55

"Kazega, be careful," Trinity said to the wind maiden in front of her, acting as her shield. "You don't have to put yourself in danger for my sake." Sighing, Trinity quickly turned her attention to the Heartless off to the side. She focused her mana and slashed her keyblade through the air horizontally, and in a flash of blue light, a huge chunk of ice was sent hurtling towards the Heartless, bursting on impact regardless of the fat that protected it. It was at times like these that she was thankful to have been at least somewhat well-versed in the practices of magic, and it only served to get stronger as she traveled. Holding her ground, she hoped Kazega would get out of the way. She knew she had been a thorn in the sides of these particular Heartless; it was her that they were truly after.

Trinity waits.

Kazega moves to J2.

"No one said I had to, Trinity," Kazega said suddenly, slipping on the final words because she couldn't believe she was actually saying it. Taking a deep breath, she paced calmly past Trinity, placing her hand gently on one of the keyblade wielder's shoulders leaning in to whisper something in her ear. "I want to." Continuing on, she sped up her pace, sliding into position near the Heartless Trinity had attacked where there was nothing but a rock separating her and the large monster. She hurled one fan, and let the other loose soon after, watching as they glided through the air, slashing at her target. She caught the first fan and immediately unleashed it again, catching the second right after and doing the same. It seemed that her fans had a limit of how much of the enemy's defenses that they could chip away, but she figured what she had already accomplished with them was fine. She tried not to think about what she had said to Trinity. Tried not to, but failed miserably.

Clara attacks the Enemy Party! 2 Hits! 22 Int Damage per Hit!

Despite the flurry of attacks and roar of battle around her, Clara was able to pick up on the small back and forth between Trinity and Kazega. While it was true that none of the party members needed to protect the Keyblade Wielder, that did not mean they did not want to. "That's what friends do after all..." Clara murmured as she repeated her tune. Well, except for Ryas and maybe Chris; the Pianist was fairly certain the others would have no problem stepping in to take a blow for the girl or anyone else.

Chris moves to G8!

Seeing as the fat Heartless had indeed fallen upon taking a large amount of electricity into its system, Chris moved a little closer to the rest of the opposition. With the others drawing their attention away from her, she should have been easily able to do as she pleased. "I think you'll get a kick out of this, Ryas." Chris stated, though whether the Witch would be able to hear her or not was undetermined. Not that it mattered, either way the Witch would likely enjoy what she was about to do.

Shutting her eyes tight, the Telekinetic began to concentrate on the ground below the nearest Large Body. With a quick mental tug on what lay beneath the earth, suddenly a hold broke through right underneath the creature and oil began to spew like a geyser.

[Ryas] moves to [I-4].

Ryas almost snarled. Almost. The psychic moron was still assuming shit about her. The thing was fucking doomed, thanks to Tenkai's claws, she wasn't about to waste cockshit on something that wasn't worth it unless she absolutely fucking had to. Disregarding the waste of air Heartless and her retarded 'companion', the witch moved before she caught their stupidity and called upon another sphere of fire to blaze about her before launching it at the Heartless that had survived Kazega's Tornado attack. The motherfucking cockroach just had to waste their time.

She pretended not to hear the god awful sappy exchange between two certain members of their group. God, next chance she got, she was shoving them in a room together. Maybe then something would happen. Could they get anymore more obvious?

[Ryas] casts Fira on [Needsadiet]. 49 Fire INT DMG. Chance of Burn.

Despite the fact that they didn't always work, it was quite fun watching what came out of her efforts. Eye glimmering, she turned to located her next target. With the timer ticking over the one she had just attacked, it seemed pointless to keep attacking it. Besides, Ryas would only chew her out for wasting time. Moving over to a different Heartless, she struck.

[Tenkai] moves to [E-4].

[Tenkai] attacks [Needsadiet]. 27 ATK DMG. 2 hits. Chance of Inflicting a Random Status Ailment.

Trinity moves to J3.

Kazega wanted to get hurt for her? That didn't make a whole lot of sense to her, but she sighed, accepting it for what it was. She shouldn't have been surprised. Kazega took care of her and defended her from the Heartless for a long time in Altinor. Trinity respected her loyalty to the point of nearly hating it. "Still doesn't mean you need to get hurt like that," the keyblade wielder mumbled inaudibly to herself. Trinity dodged to the side of the hulking Heartless and bashed away at the thing with both her keyblades. She flashed Kazega a look implying that they should finish it off together. The severely weakened one who charged her at full force had fallen prey to her orbs of light that she detonated in a brilliant explosion as a means of countering such a brazen move. At this rate, the Heartless would be vanquished with ease and they'd be able to move on to the true threat: the right wrong Alice.

Trinity attacks Lardo! 4 hits! 23 Dmg per hit! (ATK) [Chance of Confusion][Chance of Bleeding]

Kazega moves to H1.

Kazega attacks Lardo! 4 hits! 22 Dmg per hit! (ATK)

Catching Trinity's gaze, Kazega effortlessly glissaded around the rock and halted behind the Heartless, unleashing her fans again and again, watching as they collided against the Heartless's back, putting an end to it effectively. With that one felled, merely two would remain, but the others had yet to launch their next wave of attacks, so there was no telling how many more casualties would result this time. Despite having plenty of focus on the battle, the thoughts kept swimming through her head. Is it not normal to want to get hurt for somebody? she questioned herself in her mind as her eyes surveyed the battlefield, planning out her next move.

Clara attacks the Enemy Party! 2 Hits! 22 Int Damage per Hit!

With this battle coming to a close shortly, Clara felt little need to create another barrier of light to absorb the damage her allies would take. So she replayed her simple melody once again, allowing the music to affect the opposition as always. She smiled as even more of the Heartless fell to the combined might of the party. "I hope she knows that she underestimated us." Clara thought to herself as she watched Chris suddenly spring into action.

Chris moves to G7!

Chris ignored the fact that Ryas ignored her success in drenching the large Heartless in oil, instead choosing to take advantage of it herself. Despite the clock that was ticking away above its head, the Telekinetic began to focus on it; so what if it would die soon? The others would have the few that remained standing defeated within the next turn anyway. Seconds after she began focusing did the oils suddenly explode rapidly before a huge fire doused the Heartless and erupted. "If it survives that, I'll be surprised."

[Ryas] casts Fira on [Needsadiet]. 49 Fire INT DMG. Chance of Burn.
MP: 42/80

"Damn it, Tenkai!" Ryas finally snapped, creating her biggest sphere of fire yet. Her hair flared around her as the air surrounding her reached an almost unbearable degree of heat. "Stop fucking around and kill the little shits already! Do you WANT to be fried along with these bastards?!" Without waiting for a response, the witch hurled her spell at the Heartless the assassin was standing next to. Tenkai, feeling the heat of the attack reaching out to her, instinctively dashed away, reappearing next to the doomed Heartless.

[Tenkai] moves to [F-6].

"That was hardly necessary, Ryas," Tenkai drawled, flicking her silver white hair over her shoulder. Surprisingly enough, instead of being cut, her hair swirled around her claws, falling like a silver curtain down her back. "However, I suppose we really don't have time to play around if we want to get to little Alice in time." Smirking, the assassin restricted the inflamed Heartless' movements before moving in for the kill.

With the pathetic excuses for Heartless wiped up with ease, the group tended to whatever minor injuries they sustained and set out immediately. They were on a rather important mission after all. The true Alice's fate depended on the Vorpal Sword. Without it, she was destined to die in a battle with the Jabberwocky. The right wrong Alice had put them into an awkward spot, and absolutely pissed off Ryas which probably would be something she regretted later on. Regardless, the group persisted down the path until they reached a crossroards with a solitary, large dead tree placed in-between the two split paths branching off from the deserted one. Standing near the center of the fork was Alice, Dealer of the Cards. She was holding a rather wondrous sword in her hands, admiring its beauty herself before she noticed the others approaching. Her stoic, red eyes gazed at each one of them indifferently before settling upon Ryas where they rested for the longest time. She said nothing.

"So, you're going to give us back that sword now so we don't have to waste the effort of beating the shit out of you, right?" Trinity called out to the woman with a smirk on her face. "You know, if you wanted to stop us with Heartless, you should have sent something more...effective." Her look was one of amusement, though Alice seemed to be completely unfazed.

"It wasn't an ambush. It was a checkpoint. The Red Queen asked me to place Heartless in specified positions and thus I did as she commanded," the woman stated simply, letting her arms fall to her side, the sword hanging in her grasp, the blade swinging ever-so-slightly. "Tell me, why is it that you so carelessly let the other Alice out of your sight? Do you even know what kind of position she is in now, running so recklessly into enemy territory?"
