Erazor figured Lucia had an answer for what was thrown at her, but he never would have guessed she was hiding another form. This only made him even angrier, his form and buffing spell were about to run out. Erazor could only watch in horror as a sonic boom sent Oui flying right back at him, only to barely avoid being hit by his own dragon.
He looked back down at Lucia, at least where Lucia used to be. It was only after a few seconds that he realized what happened and looked above him to find her. With two orbs coming his way so quickly Erazor had no choice but to block with his arms in front of his body, only for the orbs to explode on contact. The orb that went after Oui hit it's target dead on, making Oui disappear into sparkles of light.
Erazor moved his arms and looked up at Lucia. His arm started to glow with darkness, but that soon faded out. He tried again only to fail again. He roared out at Lucia. "I've had it with you!" He floated down to the ground before looking back up at her, spinning his arms around as he did. "This place will be your grave, and after I'm done I'll rebuild my castle right on top of you!" He lunged off the ground and was going through the air right at her. He held his arm back as he got closer and closer.

Lucia watched with satisfaction as the orbs hit their marks, the feeling only growing at Erazor's attempts to cast and subsequent rage. "How kind of you, but I'd make a lousy foundation." Two massive orbs of Light and Darkness appeared before her, with a matching orb of Twilight joining them a second later. The three merged together into a seething sphere of all three elements as the god reached the halfway point of his lunge, quickly being absorbed into Lucia's aura.
Just before Erazor reached her she smiled at him, eyes full of contempt. "I'm just too explosive. Elegy of Ending!" Her aura detonated in a massive blast of all three elements, easily decimating everything within 40 yards of her in all directions. As the blast dissipated she used the last few seconds of her transformation to return to the ground, confident in her victory as she returned to her mortal body.

Erazor thought he would be able to take out Lucia, but his plans changed once her aura exploded just as he got in close. The explosion had absorbed him completely, but at first he was fighting it back. Soon the aura of darkness around him faded, and the explosion started doing more and more damage to him. He reverted back to his normal self, which sealed his fate even more. His body started evaporate into dust as he screamed out in pain. Soon there wasn't a trace of him.
Soon after Erazor faded away a gateway similar to the one Lucia used to get in the simulation appeared before her. It would take her back to the real world.
Meanwhile in the real world Seamus had been watching the tail end of the fight since he finished his simulation. He was swooning over the power Lucia displaced. He figured she wouldn't have had any trouble with Erazor, but he was surprised how well the fight went for her. "I guess you were right," He said turning to Riley. "Erazor wasn't a problem for her." He only shook his head once he realized what Riley was up to.
Riley was looking away from the others as he was blushing. He had been thinking about how Jennifer had reacted to seeing his old body. He thought he would just surprise her as a joke since she hadn't seen him like this yet. He figured her reaction would be great, but he never would have guessed she would have hugged him like that and call him adorable and cute. He was deep in thought about her until he noticed Seamus looking at him. He turned around to face him, only now showing the flower with countless pedals he was holding. A few of the pedals were missing, as if he had been plucking them off. "Oh yeah right," He said trying to cover for himself. "I told you there was nothing to worry about. Though there is something I need to ask you."
"What's that?"
"Lucia talks about Jennifer right?"
"Yeah, they are sisters after all. Why?"
"Does Jennifer ever talk about me? I mean not that I would want her to, well I would but you know what I mean. I don't really care if she does, I've just been wondering."
Seamus blinked at the way Riley was acting. He had best friends with him since they were ten, so he knew what this meant. "No way," He said in disbelief. "You don't."
"I do and I can't get her off of my mind."
"Oh how the tables have turned," Seamus laughed. "Figures you would fall for my girlfriend's sister, I really should have seen this coming. Look don't worry, we can just ask Lucia and she can talk to her or something. But if you don't want Jennifer to know so soon you need to learn act like you don't until you're ready to confess."
"So do the opposite of how you acted with Lucia?"
"Exactly!"
Lana was glad Lucia's battle with Erazor went over so well. She only had an idea of how strong she was with the stories Riley had told her. "Well I guess she won't need as much training as most," She said to herself. "Looks like she'll be a Master in no time at all." She started thinking about what kind of test would suit her best.

Lucia ran her hand through her hair before dismissing the rest of her armor, the helmet having disappeared during Aspect. "Hm, definitely a minor god." As she glanced around the rubble another portal appeared, leading back to the castle she assumed. Stepping through confirmed her suspicions.
Master Lana was still there of course, and Seamus and Riley were as well. "Dang, I wanted to be the first done..." She trailed off as she saw the flower in Riley's hand and that pattern in his aura, blinking twice to make sure she wasn't seeing things. Once she knew it was real -and having missed the entire conversation- she could only assume one thing. "Riley, I'm sorry but one relationship is enough for me right now. I'd prefer we stay as friends anyhow."

"W-What?!" Riley looked at Lucia as she assumed Riley had a thing for her.
"Yeah Riley, I won't let you steal another girl from me like you did with Rachel all those years ago," Seamus snickered.
Riley looked at Lucia dumbfounded. He then thought about how she could see hearts, so she must be seeing the emotions he was feeling, but not able to tell who they were for. That would explain why she didn't figure out that Seamus liked her until much later. Riley thought about trying to play it off and not reveal who he had the love bug for, but he decided against it. He didn't want things to get complicated later once he got to see Jennifer again. "It's not you I like," He told her. His face turned red as he started to say who it was he liked. He looked down at the ground in embarrassment as he finally got the words out. "It's Jennifer I like."
Celeste was hovering over him as she started singing. "Riley and Jennifer sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G~"
"Celeste!" Riley started chasing after her as she fly away from him going in circles.
Seamus shook his head as he looked at Lucia. "Man you really are bad at figuring out who likes who," He poke her playfully. "Don't worry I am too. I only just found out right before you came out."
Riley managed to catch Celeste, but he just sighed as he couldn't deny he liked Jennifer. He looked back at Lucia. "Does she ever talk about me?" He held up the flower in his hand. "I already started earlier while we were waiting on you, but maybe I should finish for good luck." He started plucking the pedals off one by one. "She loves me, she loves me not. She loves me, she loves me not."
Lana giggled before she finally spoke. "Oh so you've fallen in love? Looking to add another girl to your roster?"
"Mom! It's not like that, I mean I would like to marry her one day, but my love for her is genuine. There's just something about her I can't explain. Her blue eyes that shine so bright they light up my day, her hair that's like a river of gold, the way she teases people. The way she hugged me today~" He sighed and swooned so much he lost his balance and fell flat on his backside, which only made his blush worse as Celeste snickered.
"She's not even here and she's sweeping you off of your feet. She's good."

Between Riley's face and Celeste's antics, Lucia couldn't help but laugh. She continued for nearly a full minute before she finally managed to stop, though a smile still graced her features. "Sorry, I just wasn't expecting that. Seems like everyone's falling in love lately," she glanced over at Seamus, "myself included."
Riley's questions about Jennifer actually made her think for a moment, putting some past events in a new light. Without realizing it she put her right index finger on her lip while thinking, a habit she had picked up somewhere. "I can honestly say that she doesn't with me, but apparently you all went on an adventure without me four years ago. I'm only hearing about that trip to Castle Oblivion now, for some reason, but it does explain why Sis and Jason kept having private conversations occasionally for the past four years."
She put her hand down as she adopted her signature pose with a shake of her head. "You're best bet is to just tell her, if you want my opinion. She's pretty up front about this kind of thing." A sudden grimace appeared as her shoulder cramped up, forcing her to stretch it out. "Sheesh, that Erazor guy was powerful, but lousy at insults. 'I'll rebuild my castle right on top of you' left me with nearly nothing to counter besides that lame line about foundations."

"Castle Oblivion" Riley rubbed the back of his head as he thought about what happened during the little adventure four years ago. The more he thought about what happened, the more everything made sense. "So that's when it happened," he looked up at Lucia. "I...wasn't exactly confident in my abilities when we were all fighting the titans and going through that castle, so when Jennifer was helping me so much I must have formed a crush on her. And as we kept going I just fell more and more in love with her... There wasn't any time to say anything to her back then with everything that was going on, so I never got the chance to tell her. I did think about her every now and then after that, but I was so busy dealing with Heartless and evil queens on other worlds with Seamus so I never really had the time to think about it. I never even ran into her again until that fight in Sugar Rush, so I think fighting alongside her again sparked the flame I have for her again."
Riley's face turned red again once Lucia told him to be up front with Jennifer. "Confess? Me?" He shook his head. "I can't do that! How would I even begin to tell her how I feel? What if she punches me?" His face turned red again as he put a hand to it and thought about the different outcomes. Deep down he really did want to confess everything to her, but he was too scared of it not going over well with her.
"Well look at it this way Riley," Seamus said. "You can either be honest with her now, or you could wait and try to hide and end up like us guessing for hours until you find out the hard way." He smiled at Lucia. "Yeah from what Riley told me Erazor is all power and nothing else. I was watching the end of the fight since I finished mine faster you slowpoke. You were right you would make a bad foundation," He floated a few inches over the ground as he whispered into her ear. "But that's because you belong on top~"

Lucia shook her head in amusement at Riley's mini freak-out. "If you can't work up the courage to confess then do something else to make it obvious. Sing a song or something, I don't know. I'm bad at subtlety." She really was, and likely both of the men in the room knew that as well. She did know that Jennifer liked to sing though, so it was a possibility.
Still partially experiencing battle high, her demeanor quickly shifted from amused confusion to something else entirely as Seamus whispered into her ear. She turned and gave him quite possibly the most seductive smile she had ever done. "So you think I'm a top, huh? You're half right, at least. Why don't we go see which of us is on top?" By then the rooms should have been prepared, so she simply focused until she sensed one that had traces of her boyfriend's aura in it before opening a Corridor behind her. As she grabbed Seamus to pull him through she spared a look at Celeste, the glance telling her in no uncertain terms not to follow.
Once through, she quickly dismissed the portal and summoned her keyblade to lock the door before it vanished again. Satisfied, she turned back to Seamus with hungry eyes, edging closer to the bed. "Now that we're alone finally," somehow her shirt was already on the floor, quickly followed by her bra, "let's have some fun." Even with the adrenaline making her much more forward she was still a touch nervous, but she truly wanted this.

"Sing a song?" Riley asked as gears started turning in his head. Maybe he could come up with something before he went off to see Jennifer. He would have to come up with a song that best conveyed his feelings for her, or else it might look like he was challenging her to a sing off. Before he could ask Lucia what type of music Jennifer liked she made a portal and pulled Seamus away. He knew what that look she gave Seamus meant, he got it often from Maple and the others. "Well at least someone around here can be upfront with how they feel," Celeste said looking at Riley. "So you're going to be a man and confess your love for Jen, or will you be a mouse?" "Squeak Squeak." "Riley..." "I'm sorry, I'm just scared okay!" "Oh come on Riley you have nothing to worry about," Lana said with a smile. "Who knows you might find that she feels the same way." "You really think she would like someone like me?" "She could be, but you'll never know if you just stand around here.""Yeah Riley, for all you know she could be waiting for you to make your move, all alone in the night waiting for Master Riley to confess to her." Celeste flew towards Riley as she began to sing a song. "Somewhere out there in the night her heart is also alight. And I know the guy she just might be burning for~" She sat on his head as Lana came to him. Lana joined in as she started pushing Riley towards the door. "A guy like you she's never known, kid. A guy like you a girl does not meet every day. You've got a look that's all your own, kid. Could there be two? No way!" "Those other guys that she could dangle all look the same from every boring point of view! You're a surprise from every angle. Mon Dieu above she's gotta love a guy like you!" "Wait Lucia I was just joking!" Was all Seamus could say before Lucia pulled him through a portal to his room.His face was already red at what Lucia had said, but what she said and did once they were there only made him even more red. He didn't say anything at first, but then he smiled at her. "If I knew this was what we were going to do I would have taken out out to dinner," He said. "But I guess if you're like this than it can't be helped." He jumped into her arms and kissed her.

A while later Lucia lay under the covers, feeling better than she ever thought possible. Despite the sweat from before, she had no motivation to leave the bed any time soon. A large part of that lack came from the one sharing that bed with her, whom she smiled at with her violet hair tousled ad partly across her face. "To be honest, I didn't really know what to expect. It was even better than I imagined though."
As she continued to stare at Seamus another thought entered her mind, one that she wasn't sure about sharing, even with him. Just how thoroughly had that spell four years ago worked? Did they need to worry about the possibility of kids? Did Seamus even want kids? Lucia pondered these things for a few seconds, before finally realizing that they didn't matter right now. All that mattered right then was that moment, with both of them together. A soft smile grew as she rolled to face Seamus, cuddling against him with his head on her chest as she closed her eyes once more. "I love you, Seamus."
