Tori summoned her Keyblade, firmly and determined. The Heartless didn't seem to be a weak one, as seen by Henoke struggling against it. Without a second to waste, Tori made her way to strike. She managed to catch Tamara's seeds, that then became heat-full flowers shooting at it. Jumping back, albeit with a bit of lost balance, Tori tossed her Keyblade imbued with fire at the Heartless, hoping to at least do some damage with her Fire Toss.
As for Adrien, he was simply leaning against the wall, looking at the trio fight with not much enthusiasm. If anything, he was yawning out of boredom. Somethings were just boring to watch. Not to mention, he had wanted to fight that thing by himself, so seeing as the trio took it head on was quite the mood killer, in his eyes.
"Sheesh... Ya can't even coordinate properly, can ya...?" he taunted to all three of them, "Y'all are doing whatever the hell you wanna do. What a letdown..." "Unless you actually want me to focus on you, you either help out or stay out of this!" Tori shouted, bitterly. "Like fightin' you would be any better..." Adrien rolled his eyes. "What was that...?" Tori's voice became deep, as she glared back at him. "You heard me: You're not even a fun target to kill. Fightin' you would be just pointless."
Without second warning, Tori shot a Ruinga spell too fast for Adrien to see. He barely managed to dodge out of the way, but not unscathed, as a clear burn was left in his cheek. Instead of glaring back, however, Adrien smirked. He shook both arms in a quick move, revealing two hidden blades in his gauntless, and chuckled.
"Well... That was unexpected..." he said. "Now what? Are you gonna fight?" "Heh... I wouldn't do anything else."
Without warning, Adrien sliced through any obstacles in its path, including some of Tamara's magic vines, not giving a damn, before attacking the Heartless relentless. With a multitude of kicks, punches and slashes, Adrien didn't let up in his attack, making full use of his Dancing Blades ability. Tori sighed, a bit uneasy, seeing that, despite Adrien being an enemy, he was still working with them, albeit reluctant.
"He better have a good reason for this..." she thought with unease.

Within moments the small stone room was a chaotic battlefield. While Henoke squared off against the large knight, exchanging bladed blows with a heated enthusiasm, Tamara’s magical seeds burst to life, shooting fireballs as Tori’s flaming Keyblade hurled down upon the Heartless. Assaulted with the flaming attacks from behind as it was guarding attacks from its front, the Heartless roared in pain and frustration as it staggered from the multiple attacks, taking moderate damage. Not letting up, Henoke’s two handed grip only tightened on his Keyblade as Tamara’s ice lances pierced the large Knight, one of the icicles stabbing through the crevice in the creature’s knee, causing it’s movements to become janky at best. He continued to push forward with his melee attacks with the opening she created.
”Thanks, Tamara!” Pinning down the large armored Heartless was no easy feat. It would make it much easier to beat the shit out of now. Sensing its own disadvantage, the large Knight leapt backwards from Henoke and knelt for a moment, darkness beginning to swirl as more Heartless were summoned into the room. Multiple Lance Soldiers, Hook Bats, Hammer Frames and Soldiers emerged from the shadows lining the room, beginning to sense the moving hearts around them. This bastard! He hadn't thought it powerful enough to summon others! The large Knight slashed upwards with its axe, though Henoke caught it with his Keyblade. The two were caught in a cross guard, pushing each other back and forth. ”Look out, everyone!” Just as he shouted, the Heartless began to move. Hook Bats and Hammer Frames began to rush towards where Tori was, the Lance Soldiers and Soldiers teaming around Tamara as Henoke and the large Knight fought.
Adrien’s sudden attack took the large Heartless by surprise, the sudden assault cascading upon his exposed back. Surprised by the sudden aid, Henoke shouted out as the cross guard was broken, allowing him to move more freely. It was then that he actually noticed just who was aiding him in the attack. ”That voice—!?” His eyes found the boy dressed in green, the very one he had fought against with his friend Kosuke on a different world. ”What are you doing here!?” Henoke was visibly gawking at Adrien, pointing with a free hand while holding his Keyblade in the other. He had staggered a bit, his face contorting in a look of frustration. I don’t want his help! For a moment, anger flared through his heart as he remembered the battle that had occurred at Prankster’s Paradise.
Gripping his Keyblade with both hands, a radiant golden light burst around the steel grey weapon, the teen’s body glowing with a similar aura. ”Get out of the way!” He hadn’t meant the shout as a warning. Henoke’s large Keyblade became a streak of light as he began to unleash thirteen powerful slashing attacks against the large Knight. ”Ars Arcanum!” At first, the Heartless attempted to block the oncoming attacks with its large axe, but the large weapon was sundered uselessly towards the ground as the enemy was hurtled backwards. CRASH! Landing on the ground on its back, the Heartless had many cracks in its armor as Henoke’s Keyblade stopped glowing, the aura around his body fading as the teen grimaced. While the other Heartless were busy attacking his team, he would try and focus his attention on the two threats he saw in front of him.
The Heartless, and Adrien. The hell does this bastard want? He couldn’t help it. He had a slight grudge. Well, a big grudge. The guy had tried to do him and his friend in, after all. He couldn’t really be super forgiving about that now, could he? Henoke didn’t have time to ask Adrien more questions, or even threaten him a little, as suddenly a powerful gust of darkness burst forth from the Knight. Rising from the floor, the Heartless’ armor began to crumble and fall to the ground, revealing a powerful muscular form coated with light armor beneath. Darkness formed a long curved sword in each hand, the creature’s face reminding Henoke of a NeoShadows as its yellow eyes met his. It seemed that losing its armor wasn’t a bad thing for this Heartless, much to Henoke’s surprise.
He had expected it to die, not transform!

Tamara let out a swear as the newcomer killed one of her flowers, then a coarser, louder one when the creature shed its armor and became faster. The other Heartless appearing just made her mod even worse.
Five seeds flew from her free hand onto the walls, her Song helping them to dig in and grow. Within seconds they were full-sized and spitting 6-inch long barbed spines at 5 of the Soldiers, travelling and striking with the force of bullets.
As the 2 remaining Fire Flowers launched two more fireballs at the original creature Tamara threw her staff at the Hammer Frames, spinning to trip them. Immediately after she channeled Water and Air again, only this time into three massive Waterspouts 10 feet tall by 2 feet wide. Spinning them like masive drills, she directed them at the Bat Hooks point first.

At first surrounded, Tori had to give credit where it was due: Tamara's spear making the Hammer Frames trip was a useful distraction. She jumped backwards, as she began casting her Blizzaja spell once more, trying to trap any enemies inside it. And yet even then, she knew she was outnumbered. Grabbing onto her Keyblade firmly, Tori looked at her surroundings once more.
"Guess going all out is the only option..." she thought to herself.
A faint red hue began to glow around Tori, as she then quickly bolted out of the corner she was caught against. Aiming at the Swift Knight, Tori tossed her Keyblade to then, akin a boomerang, have it returned after hitting once. Her Crescent Echo ability looked to give Henoke -and Adrien- an opening. Grabbing her Keyblade back, water began to rise behind Tori, her Flood spell quickly manifesting as a giant wave that, just like before, she rode to then send it crashing over the enemies.
"The quicker we end this, the better... Especially with that guy here..." she thought to herself, glaring at Adrien.
As for the person in question, hearing Henoke's voice caused him to jump backwards, out of reach. Adrien then smirked, raising his chin with glee, willing to taunt him back.
"Sorry, but was I s'possed to stay put?" he asked, amused, not expecting an answer.
Seeing the Heartless growing in strength, as well as the more enemies that decided to join the fray made him eager. Smirking, Adrien licked his lips with desire, knowing that was going to be a battle worth fighting in.
"Now this is getting interesting..." he chuckled, "Come on, Yubel! Let's show 'em who's boss!"
At first a faint trail, a thick mist burst around Adrien, soon taking the form of his Familiar, Yubel, to then tackle alongside his Summoner at the Swift Knight with brute force. Once more, Adrien pummeled the Heartless with a variety of kicks, punches and slashes, while Yubel tackled with its fangs and claws, combining their strengths into Yubel-Hunt technique.
"Don't bore me now, you got that?!" Adrien taunted the Heartless, "The fun's just getting started!"

Clang! Clank! The armor echoed within the small room as it thundered to the ground. As Tamara’s seeds burst to life, causing long barbed spines to stab at the Soldier Heartless, Henoke rushed towards the Swift Knight. Within the blink of an eye, the large Heartless was suddenly behind the teen, his twin blades flashing as they danced out towards their prey. Shouting out in surprise, Henoke’s hands seemed to move on their own as his Keyblade deflected the blows. The power behind them jarred his bones, causing the teen to grimace as he was pushed backwards, sliding against the cobblestone ground, managing to keep his footing.
As more of Tamara’s magic began to pummel the other Heartless surrounding them, Tori hurled her Keyblade at the Swift Knight, causing it’s gaze to whip around at her. Using its dual blades to cover some of the blow, the Heartless leapt backwards faster than Henoke’s eyes could track, though a shallow cut on its shoulder seemed to signal that the attack landed. For a moment, the teen grinned. So we can catch it off guard! No matter how fast the Heartless was, it was still a Heartless. It’s intelligence wasn’t that high, causing it’s attention to be more focused on an individual rather than a group. As Tori’s Flood spell began to crash over the wave of Heartless, Henoke decided to follow suit.
Rushing forward, the teen’s large Keyblade began to glow with an orange energy as he stabbed it with both hands into the cobblestone floor. ”QUAKE!” The area surrounding him ruptured, causing the ground to raise and shake with the ferocity of a living beast. As many of the Heartless staggered from the multiple area spells attacking them, some vanishing completely, the Swift Knight only staggered slightly at the Flood spell before leaping into the air, avoiding Henoke’s Quake spell entirely. Just as the Heartless leapt into the air, however, Adrien and Yubel’s combo managed to catch it off guard.
”Don’t bore me now, you got that?!” Adrien’s voice raised over the creatures yells of anger and fury. ”The fun’s just getting started!” Within the middle of the combo, the Swift Knight managed to slash out with a flurry of combos against Adrien and Yubel before leaping out of range. Henoke’s grip on his weapon tightened as his jaw clenched tighter. I can’t let him hog all the credit!!! He’d be damned if he fell short to this guy! Feeling a new fire burning within him, Henoke ran for the Swift Knight, the other Heartless momentarily staggered from his earlier spell. His Keyblade erupting in a radiant blinding light, Henoke shouted out his attack: ”BLITZ!”
With a powerful heave of his large weapon, Henoke arced his Keyblade through the air. The Swift Knight raised both its swords in defense, but the heavy Keyblade engulfed in light sundered through it, the blades shattering with a loud CLINK! A trail of light cut through the Heartless, causing it to stagger backwards before suddenly becoming engulfed in Darkness. Surprised by the reaction, the light energy fading from his Keyblade, Henoke slashed forward once more. The Swift Knight shrank into a small orb of darkness, causing the teen’s attack to miss as the orb launched itself towards the door. Sinking into the stone double doors, the darkness pooled around the entrance as more Heartless emerged forth from it. ”Tch—! You bastard!” Henoke’s face began to grow red as the Heartless summoned began to come forth. ”Come out and fight us—coward!” He knew it was futile. Heartless couldn’t be goaded, nor could their pride be wounded (they didn’t even have any pride, to begin with). Shadows and a single Morning Star appeared from the door, the Swift Knight nowhere to be seen. The stone was shrouded in a thick layer of darkness, swirling as infinitely as an abyss. As the Shadows leapt through the air, the Morning Star began to bounce up and down across the room, causing small blasts when it landed and leapt again. Henoke for a moment was overwhelmed, many of the Shadows teaming around him as he lifted his Keyblade to defend himself. Small scratches and cuts began to litter him as he battered the small Heartless from him, a blast from the Morning Star catching him off guard as he shouted out in pain.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" With a face of crimson, the teen slashed out with every bit of strength he had. Sending a few of the Shadows flying, some others vanishing completely, the teen was able to leap away from the mob towards his teammates. He didn't know where the Swift Knight was, but he was over these small fry getting in his way. "Watch out, everyone!" Henoke kept his eyes ready, there were a lot of Heartless. He would keep his Keyblade up, attempting to deflect any attacks made on his nearest Teammates while dishing out damage.

Watching the others, Tamara cursed as the massive Heartless simply vanished into the door. It was quickly replaced by more of the smaller varieties, at which point she had simply had enough. "Blood and bloody ashes, they're as annoying as a herd of oruma!"
Her Fire Flowers spit out three more fireballs that targeted the Heartless nearest the door before withering away, while the Spine Throwers targeted the Soldiers once more. Splitting her attention, she directed her Waterspouts at the remainder of the Hook Bats and channeling yet more Water into something far larger. "Everyone jump high!"
The instant the weave finished she loosed it, the Floodplain appearing as a 30 foot wide by 10 foot high wave moving at 30mph across the lower area. The wave would sweep up anything it hit until striking the far wall, at which point it would crash down with enough force to crush a small car.
Not satisfied, she followed up by summoning the odd key-shaped blade she had been given in a dream shortly after waking. It had a fluted ivory handle with a pure white, curved teardrop as the guard, with the point of the teardrop flowing into the blade, which was made of brilliant crystal of multiple hues. The “teeth” of the key were wisps of white flame that fed into a disk of the same just behind the tip. A keychain dangled off the hilt, made of a series of straight teardrops, with a half white, half black circle at the end.
The blade felt good regrdless of how it appeared, and taking it in hand she finally leapt off the balcony to join the others, driving the tip into one of the remining Heartless as she landed.

Adrien clicked his tongue in dissapointment. The main show had decided to bail? That wouldn't go by. His face had become stern and emotionless, his thoughts only focused on the cowardly enemy that had taken refuge behind his allies.
"That ain't nice at all..." he muttered with a monotone voice, "Come out an' fight before I lose it with you, you piece of coward shit..." "Oh, goodness..." Tori winced, a bit irritated.
Tori knew what would happen. Adrien was about to snap. She hadn't seen it before, but she just... knew it would be like that. Not very focused on finding out the reasons why that was the case, Tori was alerted by Tamara's warning, and made a somersault jumping back, watching a sea of water crash against the Heartless. The momentum allowed her to watch the enemies surrounding them, her gaze quickly finding the major threat being the Morning Star. Once back in the ground, Tori was made a red blur as she dashed towards it. She first striked horizontaly with her Keyblade, to then create red waves point-black of her enemy, hoping her Lunatic Red Eyes ability helped lessen up the damage, and also make the battle easier.
Adrien, on the other hand, wasn't really afraid of Tamara's wave, as Yubel -his Familiar- took the direct hit without even flinching. A rather useful utility Spirit's Familiars had was that, no matter the attack, they'd protect their Summoner regardless. Once the wave was gone, Adrien snapped. Silently, he quickly made his move towards the group of enemies, jumping first upwards, and then tossing 5 daggers in a star-shape formation, that then created a huge tornado, sending his enemies upwards. His Exorcism Dagger looked to catch all of the small fry to leave the more powerful enemies without any backup. Although Adrien was looking to push the Swift Knight out of his hiding spot.
Tori, looking at the force behind his attack, only grimaced a bit. That wasn't a good sign whatsoever...
"He's getting really desperate... And that's never a good thing..." she thought.

[[Runa: Adrien and Henoke might be more similar than I thought—see the both of them yelling at the Heartless together? lol ]]
While Henoke began to leap and slash at the nearest Heartless, Tamara’s fireballs collided and obliterated 2 Hook Bats as well as a Hammer Frame. Illuminating the dark square room with a flash of heat, Henoke shouted out victoriously as Tamra continued to weave her magic. As her ‘Spine Throwers’ launched into multiple Soldiers, stunning or slaying them, the powerful Druid called upon a magical torrent. ”Everyone jump high!” Thankfully, Henoke’s reflexes were pretty sharp, as well as having the added guidance of the Keyblade, allowing him to leap high enough away from the oncoming water attack and the Heartless.
It was then that Henoke got distracted, landing on some of the rubble leading up to the foyer above. His bright eyes fell on Tamara, who now held a Keyblade. ”W-what?! You’re a wielder, too—?!” Visibly staggering, he pointed at the woman, clearly flabbergasted. Not only had he ran into Tori here, but another Keyblade Wielder as well? What were the odds of that happening? Tori…Tori… For some reason, seeing the boy in green appear had caused her name to ring through his mind. Something about his time with Kosuke on Prankster’s Paradise. Was he forgetting something?
He wasn’t able to think on it for too long, as the chaotic battlefield raged around him. Already Tori was moving in with a frightening speed, assaulting the largest Heartless on the battlefield: the Morning Star. As she landed her attacks, the Heartless staggered backwards, crashing into the wall with a loud BANG! It didn't seem to be dead yet, though. The other Heartless surrounding it took advantage of the opening, one of the Lance Soldiers dashing in for Tori with a lunge attack, followed by a swift combo, while some Shadows and the other Lance Soldier rushed towards Adrien and Tamara. Henoke couldn’t focus on anyone for long though, considering the boy in green summoning a mini tornado that obscured his view. I’ll have to get closer! Irritated at the boy in green, who even when helping seemed to hinder him even a little, Henoke leapt from the rubble leading up to the balcony, heaving his large Keyblade overhead as he finished off the nearest Hook Bat and Shadow in a few swift attacks.
Having to dodge a Lance Soldier’s lunge attack, receiving a shallow gash on his left arm in the process, Henoke rolled towards Tori and Adrien as he made his way across the small battlefield. Straightening himself, the teen’s gaze fell upon the large door. While the others were busy attacking the Heartless, Henoke noticed the darkness in the door swirling, growing, rumbling. Suddenly a gut feeling he didn’t fully understand overwhelmed his body, forcing him to move. Leaping backwards from the door, Henoke’s voice echoed over the din of battle.
”EVERYONE! GET AWAY FROM THE DOOR!” Midair, Henoke witnessed a faint purple light erupt from the door as multiple dark orbs fired forth. Each orb was roughly the size of a basketball, countless in number as they raced with the speed of a bullet. Having barely moved his Keyblade in time, Henoke grunted out in pain as he landed on his feet, skidding backwards as he lurched towards the ground. Clank! The large steel grey Keyblade clutched in his right hand propped him up. Sweat broke out on his forehead. Clutching his left side, Henoke winced as blood gushed out from beneath his wound, a deep hole burned beneath his ribs. His right leg had a shallow wound as well, smoking from the impact of the Dark Firaza spell.
His Keyblade still smoked from the orb it had blocked from hitting his head. T-that thing—!! He had nearly died. A cold fury swept over Henoke as the darkness in the door swirled for another attack. ”Get ready—!” He hardly had time to finish his sentence as another round of dark flaming orbs shot forth from the door. The remaining Heartless, though few, were persistent as they pressed forward toward the team. Fueled by nothing but instinct and command, the creatures had no sense of worth for their own mortality.

Tamara barely managed to block the first flurry of dark flame, a Shield of Air inches from her skin blocking the three blasts that likely would have ended her. A quick glance showed her that none of her plants had survived, and the sudden onslaught had broken her concentration on the weaves for the Waterspouts.
As the Shield dissipated she quickly noted the wounds on Henoke. Within moments she was at his side with her hand on his shoulder. "We can discuss what this blade is later. Right now you need Healing." Without waiting for a response she wove Healing, mending his wounds with a severe chill.
It was only then that she realized that a second wave of fire was headed thei way, as well as the remaining Heartless. There was nothing more she could do at that range.
Suddenly a corridor of Darkness opened in the ceiling, and through it a screaming Jennifer Talec fell. She continued screaming until halfway down, which is when he noticed the Heartless and Keyblade Weilders. A shakey grin replaced the scream as twin bracelets expanded into her Aura Celica, and a blast propelled her into the ground between the group and the door hard enough to trigger her Scorched Earth. The resulting shockwave moved 10 feet in all directions, sending pure Light out into the Heartless and erasing any of the Dark Firaza orbs that touched it.
As she stood she swayed enough that, along with her slurred speech, it was blantantly obvious that she was drunk. "Hey, sorry. No idea how I got here, but at least there's some fun! Oh," she looked over at Tori before waving comically, "hey Tori! How ya been? That thing in the door buging ou? I'll deal wih it."
Spinning with a giggle, she launched herself forward with two concecutive blasts from her gauntlets before slamming her fist into the door with a concussive blast. The impact of the Light Blitz could propel her through a steel wall if needed, so it should have no problems removing whatever was in the doors.
At least, that was her reasoning.

"Wha..."
Tori flinched, freezing in her tracks. She was not expecting yet another familiar face, if one could even consider Adrien being one of said faces. However, things could wait. Leaving both Jen and Adrien to their business, Tori focused on getting rid of the lesser Heartless.
"That door is proving to be more than just that..." she thought, as she saw the powerful spell it launched.
Thoughts were a hindrance, however, as she was too slow to catch the Heartless going to her assault. She raised her Keyblade to block, seeing that she couldn't fend them off like that, forcing herself against a corner. She had, however, a trick up her sleeve... Despite the lack of. As she was pushed back, Tori parried the attack and, while airborne, used Cross-up Magic yet against to clear the area around her, hopefully getting rid of the Heartless attacking her.
"Let's keep this up!" she yelled.
Adrien, on the other hand, was stoked. Smirking with malice, he looked at the Heartles taking refuge in the door with thirst. Seeing its power only made him want to keep on fighting.
"Now that's more like it..." he said, licking his lips in hunger, "Fight your hardest... Before I kill you..."
Throwing a flaming knife at first, Adrien rushed to the attack recklessly, not caring of what the giant Heartless could do to him. He didn't know where his Emblem was... So long as it remained untouched, he was unkillable. The fight could go on for as long as it wanted, and Adrien wouldn't care. He hoped for his Red Dagger to land before going in for the assault, punches and kicks with strength inhuman.
"Give me all of your despair... Before I take you apart..." he muttered with an evil smirk.

Henoke felt relief wash over him as Tamra’s healing spell did it’s work. There wasn’t much time to thank her, though, as the second Dark Firaza spell unleashed. With a fiery determination burning in his heart, Henoke used a free hand to push Tamara behind him, his large Keyblade lifting up to shield the two of them as a corridor of Darkness opened in the ceiling. As a strange woman plummeted out from the portal, unleashing an impossibly powerful spell that eradicated the orbs launched from the door as well as most of the remaining Heartless, Henoke couldn’t help but shout out in surprise. ”W-what the—?!” Just who was this lady?! Clearly she was powerful, as whatever trick she just pulled from her sleeve had nullified an insanely high level Heartless attack.
”Hey Tori! How ya been?” The woman straightened herself, albeit swaying heavily, adorned in rather mundane clothing that didn’t properly give weight to the abilities she clearly had. She…knows Tori? Henoke’s eyes fell on Tori, his eyebrows raising in curiosity as he grinned at her. Suddenly, the blonde woman rushed towards the door, barraging it with sudden gauntlets that consumed her arms, blasting light from it. All at once, everyone seemed to move. Tori began to rush the few remaining Heartless that were left, while Adrien followed the strangers suit in rushing the door with attacks. It was because of all this action that Henoke didn’t notice exactly what the door did.
In response to Jen and Adrien’s charge, the door of darkness swirled and glowed in a menacing purple aura. Adrien’s dagger simply vanished as it landed against the door, not even producing a clank sound to signify it landing anywhere. Once the woman and boy in green were in melee range, attacking the door, the purple glow returned, Darkness ensnaring the two fighters as they were pulled into a place unknown. One moment, Henoke saw the two rushing the door— the next, they were gone. ”H-hey! Where’d that lady and jerk go?!” His surprise forced him to exclaim aloud as he pointed at the door. The darkness continued to swirl, the room echoing in heavy silence due to there being no more Heartless.
Nothing happened.
For a moment, Henoke simply stared at the door, dumbfounded.
It was then that the darkness in the door swirled once more, illuminating with a faint purple as swirls began to appear. It was preparing its spell yet again. Just how long could they keep this up for? What was the secret behind that door? "Watch out, Tori!" With Tamara already behind him, Henoke's main concern was for the girl who had finished off the remaining Heartless in the room, closest to the door. This time, something different happened though. Rather than releasing another Dark Firaza spell, massive dark spikes shot forth from the door, jutting out at impossible lengths as they stretched across the room and attempted to burrow themselves in their prey. Henoke gritted his teeth, defending himself and Tamara with his large Keyblade, slashing the dark tendrils that snaked out swiftly. There was a minor cut on his cheek, another on his leg, but other than that, he had defended them well. What other tricks does it got up it's sleeves? This wasn't a normal Heartless by any means. It could summon others, possess a door, as well as apparently being able to make two people disappear. Just what the hell are we fighting?!
His eyes darted, looking for Tori. How had she fared against the attack?
[[ENEMIES: Swift Knight (DORMANT)]]
Jen and Adrien would find themselves in a completely black area, one where even the floor and walls couldn’t be determined. Was that ceiling or sky above them? The only source of light were the countless teaming yellow eyes. Hordes of Shadows were beginning to emerge, sensing the two new hearts that had emerged into whatever realm they had stepped into. Whatever trickery the door in that room held, it seemed to have reacted to their touching of it. If the two turned around, they would see now wall or door behind them, only vacant empty darkness. If they were brave enough to battle, they would find that their footsteps illuminated the room, if only for a moment, with a splashing purple light.
The Shadows began to move forward, surging with hunger and impatience.

Tamara's face showed her confusion clearly as the blonde woman suddenly appeared, only to just as suddenly disappear into the door. She was so bewildered by the explosive entrance that she stopped paying attention to the rest of the fight, something that nearly proved to be her undoing.
The feeling of a sharp sting, followed by a warm trickle down her cheek, finally brought her attention back to the battle. Her hand hesitantly touched the cheek, only to come away stained red as she realized she had been saved by Henoke. "Thank you, Henkoke." Her voice wavered slightly, revealing just how shaken she was by the brush with death.
THen her eyes hardened, and she jumped back as far as she could while drawing on something that was definitely not saidar. "Éiriú grant me strength!" As she shifted into Overgrowth she gained an earthly aura, and her hands flew to her pouch to withdraw a seed and a root cutting, both of which she dropped beside her.
The seed quickly grew into a willow tree that somehow brimmed with magic. A moment later thw Weaving Willow wove Air and Water into a small cloud that rumbled ominously. Three blasts of lightning lanced toward the door in quick succession before the cloud faded.
Meanwhile the root attaced itself to Tamara's foot before tunneling quickly to the door, creating an area 10 feet across by the wall with visible roots. As they pierced the door they would drain the vitality of any enemy within the field as if they had been stabbed, transferring that energy back to Tamara to use for healing herself or others.
Her eyes were hard as the cut on her cheek mended from that energy, her hand already reaching for the next batch of seeds.
The last thing Jen expected was to be sucked into the door, but she was far to drunk to do anything but roll with it. Once her eyes adjusted enough to see she instantly recognized the Shadows closing in, and with a drunken grin she started launching multiple blasts of Light into the air. All of them landed with surprising accuracy, peppering the 10 feet surrounding her and leaving behind a dense mist of Light that would burn the Heartless if they remained within it.
"Well this seems like fun!

Things went way too fast for Tori to notice. Without even the need to blink, Adrien and Jen were out of sight. The Swift Knight seemed to focus on Henoke and Tamara, leaving Tori with a room to breathe for a moment. What next? What sort of tricks would the enemy have?
The red hue had faintly dissapeared, gradually until it was not there anymore. Tori clicked her tongue -she'd expected it to last a bit longer... She had begun to lose her cool a bit, even, considering how much of a nuisance the enemy was.
"This was definitely not expected..." she thought to herself, grimacing a bit.
No matter where she looked at it, things weren't exactly in their favor. They were already struggling against it, and as soon as more allies arrived (although some were not welcome), they dissapeared without a trace. Tori sighed with clear annoyance. At least it was just one enemy left...
"We need to force it out, but... How...? Not only that, it's way too fast to catch... If only I can get an opening..." Tori bit her lip, "There has to be a way to force it out of hiding... But for now, we just need to see how this goes. So we just gotta last long enough until we can read its movements... Alright, I got it!"
Tori held her hand forward, a grey mist gathering around her. For a split second, her eyes turned purple, but it all went so fast, no one could've possibly noticed. The mist grew stronger and stronger, and then condensed in Tori's palm.
"Give me strength... Neku..." she whispered, as the misty crystal shattered to then form one of Tori's best friends in the battlefield.
Darkness as far as the eye could see...
That was a nuisance... Adrien groaned. Where was he? At least his power didn't seem to suffer much difference... The Realm of Darkness might be reluctant to let Spirits in, but he was forced inside... Or a place that resembled it, at least.
Not only that, the lady he was stuck with reeked of alcohol...
"Guh... You ain't exactly a lady I would battle with or against..." he mumbled.
Yellow eyes caught his attention -Shadows. Small fry, really? Sure, in large enough numbers they were dangerous, but for a Spirit? Yubel was already groaning and even letting out a faint growl every now and then.
"Heh... Come on" Adrien shook his head with a sigh, "This is your means of distraction...? You're hopeless... You're no fun prey at all..."
Still being in his Bloodthirst stance helped, as Adrien suddenly spiked his gauntlet blades at the enemies first, and then followed by a huge red spike that wanted to get rid of everything in its path. Starting off with Blood Spike as means to threaten looked like a good idea on paper...

Countless Shadows were crushed beneath Jen’s light attacks, evaporating into the darkness that swirled around them. As Adrien decimated any in his path due to his abilities, the dark vapor continued to gather in the air around the two. It seemed that this mist typically produced by the vanquishing of Heartless didn’t dissipate, but rather stagnated around them. More and more Heartless began to emerge, more powerful than the Shadow counterparts, from this forming darkness.
Though nearly invisible in the blackness that surrounded them, Jen and Adrien would be able to make out the faint purple glow of energy that formed the beasts. NeoShadows and Darkballs began to rove in numbers towards the two, accompanying the weak and meager Shadows, leaping and swiping with their tiny claws.
[[ENEMIES: Horde of Shadows, NeoShadows and Darkballs]]
Henoke sighed in relief, as Tori seemed safe from the door’s attack. Just what is this thing?! The Swift Knight had seemingly possessed the door at first glance—but maybe that wasn’t it. Did the door…do something to the Knight? Henoke didn’t have long to think as Tamara’s returned him to the battlefield. ”Thank you, Henoke.” Glancing over his shoulder at his teammate, the vibrant haired wielder grinned as he gave her a thumbs up. ”You’re welcome!” There was a new light brimming in his heart, surging him on as he watched the woman erupt in power.
Darkness swirled around within the borders of the large double doors, large tendrils lancing out to defend itself from Tamara’s powerful magic. Henoke watched the large tentacle like appendages recoil in pain from the lightning. Tamara’s roots retaliated, spearing into the darkness that shrouded the door. Though they were draining its vitality, it seemed the energy pouring into the magical roots were tainted and filled with darkness. It would act more like a poison than anything—unless aided with powerful light magic.
”Give me strength…Neku…” Henoke heard Tori’s chant with a bewildering surprise as he spun to look over at his teammate. As the misty crystal shattered to begin forming the friend Tori knew, the teen found himself impressed at the girl’s magic. I’ve never seen a spell like that—! For a moment, Henoke simply stared at the sparkling summon before shaking his head, pulling himself out of it. There was a sudden movement on his left. Two large arms began to form and protrude out from the massive double doors—its bulging muscles and glinting talons formed from the darkness within it. Swipe! Swipe! Henoke leapt backwards, readying his Keyblade in both hands as the door attempted to stretch out and reach him.
Whatever darkness lurked within the door, it seemed powerful. Powerful enough to trap their newly made teammates as well as battle them and house the Swift Knight all at once. A bead of sweat trickled down Henoke’s face. Damn it! What’s its weakness?! Every Heartless had some sort of weakness to it—but Henoke had never faced one that could possess doors or parts of buildings. Though the swirling darkness within the doors was a pitch black, glowing yellow eyes seemed to form from somewhere within the darkness—staring out at the trio it fought. It was as Henoke thought. ”Careful, both of you!” Shouting out to Tamara and Tori, the teen heaved his large Keyblade onto his shoulders as he made his way for the stationary enemy.
”There’s two Heartless here, not one!” A brilliant ray of light began to erupt forth from his steel grey weapon, surrounding the large Keyblade as the teen leapt into the air. Aiming the tip of his weapon before him with both hands, Henoke shouted out his attack as a powerful stream of light rays erupted forth. ”Ragnarok!!” Spinning through the air like cyclones, the multiple rays of light swirled to form a massive devastating beam of light energy that blasted forward and into the dark door. Upon collision, the room shook, loose rubble falling freely from the ceiling and higher walls upon the team. It was truly a fearsome display of light.
The large muscular arms had lifted themselves into a cross guard, taking the brunt of the attack as most of its form was ripped away and shredded into dark vapor. Once the Ragnarok attack faded, the Door of Darkness’ appendages would be steaming, the slow forming Heartless face emerging on the surface of the door scowling in pain as one of its taloned hands disappeared completely. With a shout, the Heartless possessing the door emerged. Though its arms were massive and muscular, its joining shoulders the size of boulders, the monsters head and body were tinier then expected. Giving it the appearance of a specter, the Heartless’ stretched out from the door, growing thinner the closer to the stone double doors it reached.
It’s snake-like body was coiled around the massive handles of the double doors, still swirling with the darkness that housed the Swift Knight—which lay dormant, healing. Its horned head was vacant other than swirling darkness with greedy yellow eyes that stayed unblinking. Its mouth was formed from a rip, its mouth jagged and gaping with the hunger and lust for hearts. It seemed the enemy lurking in the shadows had finally revealed itself! Henoke’s attack allowed Tori and Tamara an opening, one they could use to unleash their strength upon their newly exposed foe!

Tamara narrowed her eyes as the new Heartless emerged, only to nearly gag a moment later as the corrupted energy seeped into her. The darkness felt thick and insideous, all too similar to the taint that doomed all who used saidin.
Instinctiely she used her magic to squeeze the coruption out of the energy in the same way she had helped create a well of untainted saidin. Unfortunately it began to seep into her mind then, but all she cared about for the moment was sending a ball of the now pure energy to heal Henoke's wounds.
She'd deal with the after effects later.
Continuing to absorb the energy, she also threw ten seeds, two different types clearly visible. One type grew into five vines that each ended in two-foot long razor sharp blades, while the other five somehow imitated arms. The Bladewhips sliced, and the Five Finger Death Punchers each unleshed a flurry of ten punches. All were targeting the Door of Darkness.
Meanwhile, the Weaving Willow wove Air and Water again to launch three Ice Lances at the creature.
Jen started to sober up a bit from the fighting, noticing quickly that the Heartless were becoming more concentrated and tougher the more they killed. She wasn't concerned though. After all, she had two aces up her sleeves.
Summoning her armor at last, she clasped her hands together and charged up a Double Barrel, fireing the large Light blast at a nearby concentration of Heartless where it would detonate into a three foot wide explosion. She then repeated the process two more times.
Despite the three blasts the Heartless still teemed around her. "Alright, this is getting annoying." Chaanneling Light in both hands rather than the gauntlets, she clapped them together before unleashing a spell. "Light Mage: Holy Light Blast!"
Six pillars of Light formed in a circle around Jennifer, each three feet across. After a few second the pillars quickly spiraled out to ten yards away, dealing massive damage to any Heartless caught by them.

Tori saw it. A split second, but she saw it. Henoke forced the Heartless out of the door. As if time slowed itself, Tori looked at the Heartless directly, in a mix of shock and thought. She could use that opportunity.
"Neku, NOW!" Tori shouted, "Help me get an opening!"
The Illusions wasted no time at all. Neku dashed towards the Heartless with unflinching courage, his sword as real as it could be. The steel made a few sparks as Neku ran it through the ground to raise it upwards, creating a shockwave aimed towards the Heartless to distract it from Tori. His Shockwave moved creepily towards the Heartless, making itself a potential thread to its recovery.
"It's not or never!" Tori thought, her eyes turning deep indigo.
A bursting mist surrounded Tori, and in particular, her Keyblade. For a second, the Keyblade shape-shifted back to its true nature -a crystal-clear, rever Keyblade- but quickly reversed back. As a heavenly light grew larger and larger surrounding the Keyblade, Tori drew the blade downwards, having jumped into the air behind by the Heartless' flank.
"This ends HERE!" she shouted, unleashing her Judgement ability.
Adrien scoffed, muttering a faint "show-off" at Jen's direction. Having cooled down a bit, he began to analyze what was happening. So, no matter how much they fought, Heartless would still appear? No wonder. They were in their turf, not one either Jen or Adrien could control. Knowing this, he clicked his tongue.
"So, ain't gonna matter how much we fight, eh? You'll just keep at it..." Adrien said with a sigh, "Stupid bastards really know how to be annoyin'..."
Adrien kept fighting, but with a bit less strength behind it. After all, if they grew in numbers the longer they fought, then it wasn't worth the trouble. There was another target he wanted to save his energies for.

The Heartless took immense damage from Henoke’s Ragnarok ability, dazed from the damage for a moment as Tamara’s healing energy found the vibrant haired teen. Healing from his wounds, Henoke shouted out a thanks—quickly drowned out by Tori’s massive attack. While the illusion of her friend Neku followed Henoke’s attack with a mighty Shockwave. Due to the previous attack, the Heartless was defenseless as it took the damage from Neku’s attack, buying Tori time to charge up her Judgement. Henoke leapt backwards, raising his Keyblade in defense as the attack landed. Roaring in agony from the light-based attack, the Heartless’ form began to mist and steam as its movements became more sporadic.
While Tamara’s seeds burst to unleash razor sharp vines and pummeled the Heartless with fists made of vines, the Heartless finally had taken enough damage to cause it to fully recoil towards the door. ”H-hey! Don’t try and hide now!” Henoke was lunging forward, reaching out towards the Heartless as though his own grasp could manage to reach it. He already knew what the bastard was planning. Tch! The coward! The mere thought of the Heartless trying to elude them now infuriated him. Moving faster than Henoke could across the cobblestone room, the Heartless withdrew into the looming stone doors, swirling with powerful darkness that shimmered a faint purple, illuminating the room in an eerie glow. It was at that moment that Henoke’s Keyblade began to rumble in his grip. ”Huh—?” Looking down with a dumbstruck look, the teen tilted his head as he stared at his weapon.
Rumbling more and more, the Keyblade in the teen’s two handed grip became unwieldy as Henoke struggled with the sentient blade. Pulling forward, hauling Henoke with it, the large steel-grey Keyblade began to shimmer with a radiant light at its tip. ”W-what the hell?!” He could no longer fight against the weapon. Forced to take a few steps forward in order to keep his balance, Henoke shouted out in surprise as his Keyblade suddenly shot forth a beam of light directly at the large stone doors the Heartless had withdrawn into. For a moment, Henoke heard the faintest click! after the beam of light disappeared into the darkness. I-it’s like…! He wasn’t near this worlds heart, though. He’d know at least that much. He wasn’t a complete amateur after all.
While Jen unleashed her holy attacks, smiting the Heartless with the light they so feared, more and more darkness continued to pool above the duo. Despite the Paladin’s bravado, it seemed she was just postponing the situation. As Adrien began to moderately attack the hordes, his lowered enthusiasm evident, Jen’s immense pillars of light shot around the dark battlefield, obliterating all Heartless they touched. Afterwards, the area remained empty, though only for a moment. Suddenly, Obliterators and Angels were beginning to emerge from the darkness that continued to pool and swirl above, massing in strength due to all the slain Heartless.
It was then that a beam of light suddenly emerged from nowhere, slicing through the dark area yet somehow managing to miss both Jen and Adrien with its path. Shooting past the battlefield and into the darkness beyond, a loud click! would thunder upon the two as the room suddenly began to rumble and shake. Suddenly—all was white and washed with light, blinding all as the Heartless were obliterated.
Suddenly, the doors began to rumble as the swirling darkness was overtaken by a radiant light shimmering over it. For a second, the room seemed to quake and crack, causing Henoke to lose his footing as his Keyblade suddenly ceased tugging, suddenly returning gravity to his grip. Recovering himself, the teen’s orange eyes scanned the room for his teammates. ”Tori! Tamara!” Suddenly a blinding light forced Henoke’s free hand up to shield himself, causing everyone in the room to lose sight for a moment. ”The hell?!” Blinded, Henoke lifted his Keyblade in a defensive guard more by instinct than actual experience. Once his vision returned and the room ceased quaking, Henoke gasped as Adrien and Jen returned, laying near the door in a heap. For a moment all was still in the room, quiet even. That was, until it returned.
Menacing. Blood chilling. The sudden presence in the room caused Henoke’s grip to tighten subconsciously. Darkness hung in the air, the light dimming completely as a figure emerged from the corner of the room—from the shadows. Aiming both its deadly curved blades towards the group, the Swift Knight made its reappearance with ferocity, unleashing a whirlwind of sword strikes into the empty air before it. Shooting forth were small waves of darkness, aimed for everyone. Henoke shouted out a warning, forced to keep up his guard as he rolled toward the knight, raising with his Keyblade in order to deflect the attack—and maybe even take the brunt of it for his teammates, depending on how they acted.
It seemed the battle was back on! But…had it ever really paused?

Tamara squinted at the bright light emanating from Henoke's blade, bothered by it in a way she couldn't quite place. It was almost as if he very mind was recoiling from it, though that made little sense.
The instant the others reappeared she removed the Lifetap Roots and calmed the other plants. The Weaving Willow picked up on the Swift Knight before she could, quickly weaving a Shield of Air to protect them from the darkness.
Jen stood slowly, eyes adjusting to the light within the room. Dimly she heard the guy with a keyblade call out for the other two, and instantly she recognized the other name. Before she could do anything about that Darkness shot out from the Heartless in the corner, and she reacted out of instinct.
One Flash Step brought her directly in front of the Heartless, blocking all but the widest of the waves with her body. Her armor was untouched, but the Darkness passed through it and burned into her skin as if it weren't there. She staggered with a cry of pain as blood pooled under her feet, but stood tall nonetheless.
"Tamara," she began as motes of Light appeared around her, her helmet disappearing, "If you're Ailill's wife then we're headed to Celderat to find you. You really made a mess of our old home, but it'll be fine."
The motes became a flurry as she shifted her gaze back to the Swift Knght, eyes flashing an even more brilliant blue. "As for you, I've had more than enough."
The flurry became a maelstrom that covered her entirely for a moment, then burst apart to reveal a new form. Her irises had become white, while the sclera had become a vivid blue. Angelic wings graced her back, the pure white shimmering with opalecence as she hovered just above the ground, emanating far more power than moments before.
"Time for you to die." She suddenly dashed forward at nearly 100 mph, gauntlets flashing from both ends as she utilized First Light's Flurry, a devastating combo of 20 punches with a blast of Light propelling each forward and another drilling into the Heartless to push that arm back again. Each blow was delivered with enough force to equal half of Hercules's strength, and could easily reduce most materials to rubble.

Tori clicked her tongue. She had wanted to end the battle then and there... At least she managed to do something. Noticing as Henoke's Keyblade had reacted, and released the enemy hiding in the door, ironically, something clicked.
"So we can force it out of hiding!" she thought, skidding through the floor as she tried to regain her balance after her Judgement, "If either Henoke or I... Alright! I've got it!"
Seeing Jen and Adrien back brought some relief, and then Jen unleashed her ability with mighty punches radiant in light. Adrien had frowned, unamused. But if the Heartless wasn't faltering against Jen, then...
It would have to falter against Tori and Adrien's true power.
"Adrien!" she called, much for his shock, "We're not going anywhere like this..." "...Point being?" he asked, glaring. "..." Tori glared back, "Do you think you can cooperate, at least once, with me?" "...Haah..." Adrien groaned, "Don't have much of a choice, do I...? Alright -just this once." "...Then go all out."
Adrien blinked a few times in shock, but then smirked. He knew exactly what Tori was aiming for.
"If that was your plan... Then say it first, sweetheart."
Tori called Neku's Illusion back, and the figure faded into mist. That same mist seemed to duplicate, and grow in thickness. It then burst violently, but not harming their allies. Tori and Adrien had changed forms, going all out and unleashing their true power.
In their eyes, once that was done, the battle was won.
Both of them then swiftly charged towards the Swift Knight, regardless of who was decoy and who was going to hit it.
"It's over now!" "You dug your own grave!"

Tamara’s shield protected them from what few waves passed by Jen’s valiant guard. Shouting out, reaching toward the defending warrior, Henoke tried to move faster than the Swift Knight—who seemed to rush towards Jen with the opportunity. Brilliant motes of light paused his footsteps as she spoke to the moving Heartless. ”As for you, I’ve had more than enough.” While Jen began to unleash her new form against the mighty boss, the radiance of it all caused Henoke’s arm to raise and shield his eyes as he winced. B-blinding!! While angelic wings began to form from shimmering light on Jen’s back, Adrien and Tori moved together as a unit.
Recovering from the sudden burst of light, Henoke was able to glimpse both Jen’s finishing combo—impossible in strength as it began to crush and pummel the Swift Knight. While her punches began to dissolve parts of the Heartless, Tori and Adrien’s joined attack rush would aid Jen in finishing it off. Howling out in rage as its form began to dissolve, Henoke blinked in awe at those around him. T-this world— He had run into some incredibly strong defenders of this world. Glancing at Adrien while the powerful trio vanquished the Heartless threat, Henoke felt suspicion nagging at his heart. I can’t trust that guy… Not after what had happened on Prankster’s Paradise. No way.
Keeping a tight grip on his Keyblade, albeit lowering it in one hand, Henoke straightened himself as the room’s overall dimness seemed to lighten. The exposed heart of the vanquished enemy floated silently towards Kingdom Hearts as finally the room quieted down. All was silence for a moment. ”W-we…did it…” Stunned for a moment, Henoke looked from his teammates to the large double doors. The darkness had vanished from them once the enemies had been defeated, revealing their ancient stone engravings and decor. The large handles seemed slightly rusted from neglect of use—though their brass and gold still shone faintly in the cobblestone room. The sudden rush of darkness from before had blown out the torches and candles, causing it to still be a bit dreary seeming.
Sighing in relief, Henoke scratched at his head, his vibrant orange hair bristling as he did so. Furrowing his brows, the teen glanced over at Tori and Adrien, mistrust clearly in his eyes. He pointed at Adrien directly. ”What are you doing here, anyway?!” Now that the battle was over, Henoke could finally start getting some answers (hopefully). As impatient and hotheaded as ever, the young Keyblade wielder didn’t waste any time in cutting to the chase. He looked back and forth between the two, wondering exactly what Tori’s past was like, in order to know a guy like him. Returning to a two-handed grip on his Keyblade, Henoke’s eyes flashed with anger as he glared at Adrien, his body slowly getting into a battle stance.
”Just so you know—I don’t intend on lettin’ you slip away again.” He had a score to settle here. Even if he had helped earlier, Henoke didn’t trust the boy in green as an ally one bit. ”Watch out, Tori. I plan on takin’ this guy out!” He wanted to just leap in and thrash him, but with Tori next to him it would only be dangerous to his ally. He wasn’t after his teammates blood, after all, despite his questions around her. Tori…Tori… Why was her name nagging at him now? He couldn’t really focus with the anger he felt at the boy in green, eager to fight. Keeping his battle position ready, Henoke managed to refrain himself, giving Tori as well as Tamara and Jen ample time to move away from where the two were standing.
—”Don’t you have other things to be worrying about?”—
C-chirithy?! Spinning around, Henoke’s eyes darted around the cobblestone room, lowering his weapon for a moment. He had heard that voice—but did anyone else? Looking at the faces around him, he guessed they hadn’t. W-what the… He could have sworn that was Chirithy’s voice…but the small being was nowhere to be found in this room. Were they right, though? Was he focusing on the wrong thing? For a moment, Henoke glanced down towards his hands that clutched his Keyblade, his gaze finally finding Adrien again. Nah—probably not.
