Seamus' portal opened up somewhere in the hedge maze before he come out of it followed by Celeste. He heard Jason call out to him about it only being a chance. He quickly turned around with hopeful eyes. "You really mean it?!" He asked. "There's a chance I might not be a father at twenty after all?"
"Gee Seamus if I didn't know any better I'd say it sounds like you don't want to have kids with Lucia."
"Well I.." Seamus didn't go on once he realized he wasn't sure if he wanted kids at all. He did love Lucia and wanted to stay with her, but he had no idea if she even wanted kids. The topic never came up with him, she was his first girlfriend after all. Despite what they did last night he wanted to take things slow with her. "I don't know. I don't even know if she wants kids."
"Well considering she's one of the last three of her race I would assume so."
"That makes sense," Seamus sighed. He would have to talk to Lucia about it later. "Well then, let's take this Heartless out." He then turned back to Jason. "And no trying to saw it in half again!"
Merlina suddenly came up to the group just as the portal was closing. "Well didn't expect to see you three here." She said with a smile. "I was just finishing up gathering what Lana sent me to get before I go join Iris in Neverland. Lana sent us all to different worlds to find materials for something. We're all supposed to meet up in The World that Never Was for the last few pieces. What are you three doing here?"
Celeste quickly acted fast. "Lana sent us here to kill a Heartless. Since none of us use a keyblade we won't have to worry about the seven collecting it's heart."
"Oh, well I wish you three the best of luck. Have you three seen Riley? He didn't come to bed last night..."
"Riley? Oh yeah Riley! He's been busy trying to get his chaos form back. Since it seems like it was taken out of him Jennifer has been trying to use her light to see if it would help him get the form. It might be a while before he's ready to go back to his room, long process and all."
Merlina pouted. "I wish he told us, we could have helped him. I was the one who was there when he first got the form after all. Maybe I can talk to Jennifer and see if I can help too..."

Jason rolled his eyes as he joined Seamus in the maze. "I can personally guarantee that she never thought about it. Having a new set of parts after twenty-three years was confusing enough for her." He sighed at Celeste's mention of their race, disliking any reminder of that particular fact, but perked up again with a smirk at Seamus' taunt. "That's right, you haven't seen my new weapon yet. I doubt we'll have to worry about that."
Merlina appearing out of the blue stopped him from actually pulling out Dusk Shroud to show it off. Thankfully his old training had left him with one of the best poker faces around, but he wished he could say the same for Celeste. Somehow they weren't caught, which to Jason said more about Merlina's trust than it did Celeste's skill at lying, but once she mentioned finding Jennifer he decided to intervene before they were backed into a corner. "That probably wouldn't be a good idea. Right now Riley's got some dark thoughts and feelings of failing you all, and seeing you might throw him out of balance again. Jen trained alongside monks in order to learn her style of martial arts, so she's probably having him go through meditation or mantras. Just trust her to help him out for now."
Most of what he said was actually true, but he very much doubted the two were doing anything remotely similar to mantras at the moment.

Merlina looked at Jason as he explained, at least as far as she knew, why Riley wasn't going to talk to her and the other wives for a while. Merlina had known Riley for a long time, so she knew how bad his self doubt can get. She figured he would get like that after hearing what happened in keyblade graveyard. "I hope he's not being too hard on himself," Merlina told him. "I remember how down he was after we failed to stop my world from being destroyed. I know how much he loved that form of his. Maybe I could forge him something to help cheer him up later, he did talk about wanting sleeker armor a while ago..." She smiled a bit. "But I am glad Jennifer is there for him, I really am. I'll have to remember to thank her when I see her again." She nodded to them. "As much as I would like to help you all I have to meet Iris. Take care." With a small flash of purple light she was gone.
"That was too close.." Celeste said.
"Yeah, I'd hate to be Riley once they all find out." Seamus shook his head, at least he only had to worry about if Lucia didn't want kids. he then remembered what happened shortly before they came to this world. His eyes widen a bit before he turned back to Jason. "You don't think Lucia's mad at me do you? You know, for not talking about our first time?"

Once Merlina vanished Jason breathed a sigh of relief, nodding at Celeste's sentiment. "It's a damn good thing I was trained to lie at the drop of a hat, cause you almost gave it away." He chuckled a little to show he was joking before Seamus' comment stopped him cold. "If Riley doesn't manage to convince them then we're all dead."
As he was contemplating this new potential doom Seamus started worrying about Lucia. Jason suppressed an eye roll before grabbing him by the shoulder. "Trust me Seamus, if she was upset with you then you would know. She's changed, but not that much. And she probably wants kids now that she's thinking about it, but I'm not as sure about that one."

"A trained lair huh?" Celeste giggled. "So how do I know that's not a lie?" Her eyes widen a bit as she thought about what would happen to her if Riley's other wives didn't approve of Riley having Jennifer join the wives club. "Yeah," She said shaking her head. "Hopefully they won't mind one last DLC character being added to the roster of their game."
"All dead?" Seamus looked at Jason. "What do you mean we're all dead I haven't told a lie to them yet."
"Yes, but you haven't come clean to them even though you know the truth. In some people's mind you're worst then us in this case."
Seamus sighed once he realized Celeste was right. Riley would work things out with them, right? He then looked at Jason again once he tried telling him not to worry about Lucia. "Hopefully you're right, I'd hate for her to be angry with me." He then remembered what they were talking about before Merlina showed up. "So about this new weapon of yours, you think it'll be enough to deal with the seven?" He then looked up at the sky, thinking about the secret training he had been doing with Riley, that he was unaware Lucia already knew about.
He looked back at Jason. "Do you think me and Riley will ever be strong enough to impress Lucia and Jennifer?" He rubbed the back of his head. "Riley and I, at least before he and Jennifer started playing Romeo and Juliet, were doing some training in secret while you were all busy making the new weapons and such. That's why I left when you all started, we don't want them to know until we reach a certain level. I'm a bit better off since I can still transform, but it's still not enough..."

Jason's voice was deadpan as he answered Celeste's joke. "You know it's not a lie because assassins don't live very long if they're bad at lying." Over the past four years he had come to terms with his past, though he still had issues with being vulnerable around people other than family.
Once Seamus asked about his new weapon Jason was back to his usual cocky self, pulling the entire thing off his back to ensure there would be at least some surprise when they actually found a fight. "I don't know about the seven, but I bet I could handle that centaur on my own with Dusk Shroud here." Of course, by the time he finished his boast Seamus was already worrying about impressing his girl, shifting the mood yet again as Jason put his weapon back.
For once, Jason dropped the cocky attitude that he used like a shield, placing his hand on Seamus' shoulder and speaking with a soft, but comforting voice. "Hey, you don't have to worry about that, all right? Jen falls for whoever she falls for, and really doesn't care about strength. Lucia is more of a mystery since you're her first S.O. ever, but there's one thing all three of us envy, and I bet she does most of all."
He paused for a moment, tapping his other hand's index finger lightly against Seamus' chest. "That thing is power gained through hard work. Yeah, the three of us are damn powerful, but take away our Elements and Aspects and we'd be lucky to win against a mid-tier Heartless, let alone the things we've all been fighting together. We were born with our greatest power, most of our race took it for granted! But look at you, and Kai and Zero and all the others! You started out barely stronger than a civilian, or in your case with powers you couldn't control, and fought tooth and nail to get where you are."
He smiled then, a genuine smile of support for a friend. "I'd wager you already impress the hell out of her, because you already impress the hell out of me. Somebody once said 'Wings you earn are always bigger than wings you're given," and I think you've got some pretty damn big wings."

"Guess Jennifer should have set your pants on a fire instead," Celeste stuck her tongue out at Jason.
Seamus didn't expect Jason to actually comfort him about his worries. Seamus expected him to joke about how they would never reach their level or something. He had to blink to make sure he wasn't seeing things. It took him a while to realize that this must have been how Jason really is, and the attitude he usually showed them was a mask.
After Jason was done Seamus remembered the time he spent with Lucia four years ago, though she was different back then he still looked back at those few days with fond memories. "You really, respect us because of that?" He looked at him. "We had no choice but to get stronger. Old Yuio was a world of nonstop wars with only a few years of peace in between them, but the eras of peace only got shorter and shorter. There was no mercy on that world long before an of us were even born, to the point where total war was so common it became the norm. There were even child soldiers that were raised to be emotionless killing machines like Riley's grandparents were."
Seamus shook his head, remembering what happened to their village the night the heartless came. "Even during the few years of peace being strong was something everyone worked towards. Strong parents make strong kids, so you were supposed to be with someone around your strength. Power was an attraction to most people on our world, which is why the stronger you were the more options you most likely had when choosing a mate. Man or woman, no matter what race you were or were dating it was looked down upon to be with someone weaker than you, as it was believed you would just bring about weak kids that would die in one of the wars or invasions anyway. Weakness was not an option for anyone, not when it meant certain death on that world. That's why every loss and defeat you took would impact you greatly even if you came out alive, it meant you could still be killed at any point. Being weak on Old Yuio meant you were also a burden to others, at least from most peoples point of view, who would help you. You were making them waste time and energy they could be saving for themselves. It's why being weak was looked down upon so much. It's why... we want to be as strong as you and our girlfriends. We can't be burdens to you three when there's so many battles we'll be facing, we can't be as worthless as we were against that woman. Even without the Seven and Null there are so many people and monsters out there we're going to come across or will come to us. At any point in time another battle like the one at the graveyard or agrabah or worse, and something could happen where even a miracle won't make it so we all live to fight another day."
By then Celeste had hovered over to Seamus,touching his ear before flying in front of his face. "Seamus.. Old Yuio is long gone." She told him. "And it can't come back, it's heart wasn't taken it was blown up without a trace. Those days of fearing to be too weak to survive don't have to return. We have New Yuio now, and even if the new war lords end up just as bad if not worse than the ones of Old Yuio you are all stronger than when you took out that dictator, and there's more of you than before now. None of you have to try to be the strongest in the village or country anymore, it's a new era for all of you. You and Riley were still good friends with Kai and Zero despite the gap in power, and you all became friends with the other three despite the gap as well. Besides there's more to you all than how strong you are, remember the story you told me about that first heartless you all had to fight in the prison? It would have ended there if it was for the four of you having great teamwork, and if Lucia went all out against it who knows how things would have gone. I'm sure Lucia and Jennifer don't think any less of being with you because of what happened, and I know Jason doesn't think any lower of you either."

Jason kept his hand on Seamus' shoulder as his friend explained his past. The more he told the more Jason understood, until it was almost as if he were looking at an alternate version of himself. Had history gone a little differently, had the Clans not made peace, he would be this person.
He waited until Celeste had said her piece before speaking up again, eyes shut as he remembered his past. "Celderat was a world very similar to that just four generations ago. Each Element had its own Clan, and all of them wanted to rule over the others. Augmentation, Aspect, the Head being the strongest... all of these were created during that period, specifically to fight the other Clans. Even once peace was finally achieved there were some that opposed it, including the Darkness Clan. They were manipulated into rebelling two generations later by the Head of the Council, who immediately used it as an excuse to persecute nearly the entire Clan. Only the Paladins and the children escaped the hunt. Lucia and Jen's mother was one of them. My parents were not. I was raised in an orphanage, and treated as a second class citizen the entire time. The only work I could find after graduation was in the military, and they trained me as an assassin only to blame me for a botched kill I wasn't even near. You know what happened next."
He paused for a moment to open his eyes again, revealing them full of determination. "I told you that so you'd know I understand where you came from. I don't want pity, and I know you don't either. But strength for it's own sake leads to destruction Seamus. It happened to me, I don't want it to happen to you. You need a reason, and you need determination. Celderatians are born to fight. We'll end up in battle no matter where we go. You chose to fight, even if it was for survival. Remember how useless Lucia felt when she lost her powers last week? She damn near killed herself because she was still trying to use them instead of finding another way. You can find other ways that we can't. That's damn impressive, and you'd better start believing it."
Finally he let go, walking a few steps away before putting his usual attitude back on like a favorite shirt. "Now let's get going, or someone's gonna kill this thing before we do! I want to test this thing out in real life finally."

Seamus listened as Jason explained how Celderat used to be like Old Yuio. After thinking about it the only things Seamus knew about Celderat was what Riley told them had happened at Castle Oblivion, and what the videos showed him a week ago. It was a topic he figured Lucia wouldn't want to talk about yet so he never asked her.
"That's right you all have a harder time than us learning other elements," Seamus said remembering the battle in Sugar Rush. "I guess that makes sense since your Aspects are tied to your element. Every race from Yuio and similar worlds we've been to are able to learn any and all elements if they trained for it, so until I met you three I never thought of people being stuck with only one."
Celeste flew and sat on his head before Seamus caught up to Jason. "Yeah wouldn't want to let this trip go to waste, though depending on how Lucia is feeling I might need all the energy I can save." He then thought of something. "Where did you even go last night Celeste?"
"The kitchen." She said with a sigh. "I was going to ask Riley to get me another room, but we all know what the ex champion was up to last night. Though I'm not complaining, all that food to myself without the bottomless pits around was nice."
Seamus shook his head as he walked to try to find where the heartless was. After a while they ended up in a circular part of maze where rose bushes made up most of the place, all of the roses were painted red. There were some buckets of red paint with brushes in them. Then there was a surge of darkness before a Grim Reaper Heartless appeared. Before Seamus could summon his shurikens and say something the Heartless swung it's weapon around creating a gust of wind that blew the paint off of the roses. As the paint came off the heartless changed colors and three skulls with a blue flame on their heads appeared around it.
"If I know my heartless there's always a catch with Grim Reapers. Before you can damage it you have to-" He was interrupted by the Heartless knocking him off his feet with it's weapon, sending him backwards a few feet.
Celeste flew off of Seamus before she hovered in the air. "Oh would you look at that it's time for my break."

Jason followed the pair deep into the maze, satisfied that his words had been heeded. Talking about his past had made him realize that he had finally removed its shackles from his heart. He felt free for the first time he could remember, a good feeling if there ever was one.
That feeling came tumbling down when they finally reached the Heartless in a clearing filled with roses and... "Why is there paint here?" His question was quickly answered by the Grim Reaper pulled the paint off with a swing of it's scythe before becoming immortal. "Oh come on, why'd you have to link to that? Seriously dude?" The Heartless made a few noises at him before lashing out again at Seamus. "No I don't care that you want to be an artist, it's still a stupid thing to link to! And quit sweeping him off his feet! He's taken."
Before the Grim Reaper could say anything else Jason was already summoning his Doppelganger, which quickly grabbed a paint bucket and began slathering it on the roses, working at about one a second. As the original finally drew Dusk Shroud properly, sheath in his left hand and the blade in pistol form in his right, he called over to Celeste. "Celeste, a little help would be appreciated!"

Seamus rolled back onto his feet before he summoned his shurikens. "Cheap shot," He said. "Too bad for you we have an extra pair of hands!" He then looked at all the roses they would have to paint, before noticing Celeste seemed to have no intention of helping out again.
Celeste somehow had a lawn chair and table out away from the others. She was drinking a glass of lemonade and had sunglasses on. He put a sign on the table that read "On break, be back in fifteen minutes" before a book appeared in her hands. She opened it up to where he bookmark was and started reading.
"Useless fairy..." Seamus looked back at the Grim Reaper. "You're lucky I don't have Riley with me or else me and him would have these roses done in a flash." He unsummoned his weapons before he ran to get a paint brush and started painting roses as he ran around the bushes.
The Grim Reaper twirled its scythe over it's head making a tornado around it. It went around the area sucking paint from the freshly roses behind Seamus as he was painting. This was going to be a long battle.

The original Jason growled in frustration as Seamus' work was undone almost as fast as he painted. "Alright, you're pissing me off now. Dark Thundaga!" The black lightning lashed out twice at the Heartless, sealing it's magic, and the third hit Celeste's sign dead on. "And you're not much better right now Celeste!"
Thankfully the clone had been able to work uninterrupted and was nearly halfway done, but without Seamus' roses there were still quite a few to go. Not wanting the Reaper to target those, the original continued to taunt it. "Why are you so obsessed with these things anyhow? Were you a 'nice guy' before or something? I bet you wore a fedora and said all sorts of stupid things!"

The Grim Reaper didn't like what Jason told it one bit. It went after Jason and started swinging it's scythe at him. Seamus turned around and looked at Jason. "Stop talking about your high school years," He called out to him. "It's time to move on from the head of the cheer squad not going to prom with you."
"Didn't Rachel not go to the yearly village festival with you?" Celeste had caught up to him with a paint brush, with paint dripping everywhere.
"Who's side are you on?" Seamus sighed as he saw the work he just did was undone by the heartless. He looked at Celeste. "Are you actually going to help out for once or is this just for show?"
"If by help you you mean let you two do all the fighting and I get to play arts and crafts then sure." Celeste flew around the roses and starting painting them, leaving little red hearts on the leaves around them.
Seamus shook his head a resummoned his shurikens. "I hope you realize as soon as these roses are done your history!" He called out to the heartless.

Jason's grin was hidden under his helmet as he ducked under the scythe. "What are you talking about Seamus? I had the captain of the football team as my prom date." A quick hop backwards dodged another swipe, only for it to still graze his armor, slicing through the leather as if it were cloth. The light scratch left on his skin was nothing, but the fact that it made it that far at all was concerning.
Just as the Silence was about to wear off the clone paused in painting to cast it's own Dark Thundaga, all three blasts hitting home in the Heartless to seal it's magic once more and making the original grin. "No magic for you, tango wannabe." His words cost him another slice out of his armor, making him wish he had steel instead of leather. Maybe he could get the sisters to make him a new set later.

"Oh so you didn't settle for the quarterback then?" Seamus asked. "Guess you're not as basic as I thought." Celeste finished painting her roses and flew back over to Seamus.
"You two aren't keybladers," Rxokni said sitting on one of the bushes filing her nails. "Guess she really did hurt Master Riley's pride with that fight, though I'm not surprised you two got out alive thanks to Lucia. Carrying the team as always."
"Should have guessed you would show up," Seamus sighed. "Guess Lana was right about you all trying to collect hearts. What are you all up to?"
"Only Riley may get answers out of me, but all will be revealed in due time. Speaking of that failure of a king where is he? He was supposed to come here not you two."
"He's busy, but if you want you can leave a message and I'll be sure to throw it away." Celeste stuck her tongue out at her.
"That's too bad, guess our play date will have to wait knowing what he's probably up to." She dismissed her nail file and her had glowed with energy. "But I can't exactly let you two kill this heartless until someone who can release it's heart shows up and-"
"I am the terror that strikes in the night!" Just then a cloud of black smoke appeared in the middle of the circle. "I am the parking meter that expires while you shop!"
Seamus blinked at the smoke, having seeing something like that very often along with a very similar introduction. "Riley?!"
The smoke cleared revealing young girl with eyes that matched Riley's in his male form, who was also wielding a keyblade that looked a bit too similar to his. " I am Chaos Heart!"
Seamus saw the keyblade and eyes and immediately ran over to her. "Please tell us you aren't a long lost daughter of Riley!" He begged her. "We are already in a bad enough situation as is we don't need that on top of what he has been doing with Jennifer!"
The girl looked at Seamus, putting a hand on her hip before smirking. "Oh don't worry my relation to Riley is much more exciting than that~" She then walked around Seamus and looked at Rxokni before pointing her keyblade at her. "Riley won't be here today, he'll be too tied up to have time for dealing with you." She stuck a pose. "But don't worry because the next best thing is here! But be warned; when you mess with me things can get a little chaotic!" She struck a pose at every phrase as she spoke before giggling. "Riley helped me with that one." She stuck her tongue out at her.
Rxokni rubbed her eyes. "Great now there's another one like him..." She shook her head and looked at her. "At least you wield a keyblade, so today won't be a total waste. Tell you what for being such a good keyblader I'll let you all have twice the fun." She snapped her fingers as a Trickmaster heartless appeared beside her. "Now be good and release these hearts for me would ya?" She disappeared.
"Now that was just heartless."
The Grim Reaper kept going after Jason, as did the Trickmaster.

Jason simply couldn't keep up with everything that had just happened. Between Rxokni showing up and threatening them and someone that acted just like Riley but clearly not appearing and then another Heartless being summoned on top of that, he thought things couldn't be more chaotic. He quickly discovered he was wrong when he felt a tug on his heart and Lucia's voice entered his head. "Hey guys, how's the hunt going?" Jason just blinked for a moment before suddenly shouting at the top of his lungs. "ALRIGHT, EVERYBODY SHUT UP FOR A MINUTE!"
Comically, the Grim Reaper and the Trickmaster did just that, waiting patiently for him to finish whatever he was doing.
Satisfied, he replied in a much calmer voice, but still out loud. "We just had the stalker keyblader show up, get upstaged by someone that looks a hell of a lot like Riley but isn't his daughter, and there's two boss-tier Heartless here now. Are you here in Wonderland somewhere, Lucia?" There was silence for a moment before she answered. "Nah, I just figured out something cool that I can use to talk to people close to me, among other things. Hey Seamus, watch out for this guy alright? He's got some new tricks up his sleeves he hasn't shown anyone yet."

Seamus smiled as he heard Lucia in his head. "Lucia my love!" He said. "What are you doing checking on us? Don't think we can handle ourselves?" He asked playfully. He then remembered what happened earlier. "Lucia... whenever we get back I want to talk to you about some things." He then looked at Jason and crossed his arms. "Oh? So he has been holding out on us. Should have figured, in that case why don't you go ahead and show off what you've been working on? We'll be right here for backup."
"But Seamus what about-"
"Do you want to eat lunch or not?"
"Fine fine." Celeste's hands glowed with darkness as a small table and three chairs appeared beside them. She turned to being four feet tall before she started setting the table.
"Does this mean I don't get to fight?" the girl pouted similar to a maiden of light they all knew.
Seamus was setting up a pizza for them before he looked at her. "You can if you want, but you'll miss the pizza."
The girl looked at the two heartless and Jason before looking at the pizza and table. "Oooo fine, but only because its stuffed crust." She sat at the table before she rubbed her hands together.
The two Heartless went away from Jason and went over to Seamus, making noises at him about wanting a slice of pizza. "We don't sure your kind here," He said before he got an idea. "But tell you what; I'll make an exception for you two, but only if you manage to beat him over there." The two heartless nodded to Seamus before they went back to attacking Jason. The Grim Reaper swung it's scythe at him again and the Trickmaster launched fire orbs at him. Seamus then sat down before he spoke to Lucia again. "So how has your day been going honey?"

Post by Ziya on Sept 10, 2018 21:19:31 GMT -5
Jason's eye twitched as Seamus decided to set up a pizza party instead of help, and sicked the Heartless on him again to boot! In his head he heard Lucia telling her boyfriend about the things she could do with the new ability, apparently called Heart Dive, and how she got it, but his focus was on not getting roasted or sliced. As is, his armor acquired several new cuts and a missing sleeve before he had finally had enough.
"Alright, that's it!" Tendrils of Darkness swept through the area as his clone vanished, surrounding him as he continued speaking. "You want to dance? Let's dance then." The Darkness began to swirl around him as he began to absorb massive amounts of it, his voice continuing to echo from within. "Elemental Aspect!"
The Dark maelstrom burst, revealing Jason and his armor both healed and in a new form. His eyes were now completely black, glowing faintly with the starlight of the night sky, and he hovered a foot off the ground on iridescent black angelic wings. The Dusk Shroud had become blood red, and burned with a pitch black fire that seemed to absorb the surrounding light on his back. When he spoke the name of his new form it sounded as if it echoed from a great void. "Aspect of Ginnungagap." Darkness radiated from him in massive quantities, easily six times as much as before.
He landed quickly, not wanting the gusts from his wings to remove the paint yet again, before shifting Dusk Shroud into its pistol form and aiming at the two who had been kind enough to group up. "My dances are deadly. Void Dance!" He charged forward, firing five blasts of Darkness at the Heartless before closing and shifting the weapon back into its blade form. He became a blur as blade and sheath lashed out ten times total, each slash leaving behind a sickle of Darkness that slowly caged them in, before leaping backwards again and taking aim. "Time to die." The final blast ignited the sickles on contact, erupting into a 5 yard wide explosion that nearly reached the table on the other side of the clearing.

"Hey some people are trying to eat over here!" Seamus called out to Jason as the explosion nearly reached them. "Like the new look though!" He then took a bite out of his slice of pizza. "Sorry Lucia but the neighbors around here are very noisy." He smiled a bit. "But it's great to hear that you learned a new ability, not sure how useful it'll be though. I don't really see the need for it, you already stole my heart~"
"Gag," the girl said sipping on lemonade.
"Ask her if it'll be safe for me to sleep in our room tonight."
"Celeste wants to know if she can some into our room tonight, I kind of shared it with her before you came along.." He rubbed the back of his head.
Only the Grim Reaper was left standing after the smoke cleared, it taunted Jason about doing a half ass job on the roses and how a real artist would never let a piece go so unfinished. Some of the roses were still unpainted, as Seamus never go around to finishing his part once Rxokni and the girl showed up. The Grim Reaper spun it's scythe again creating a whirlwind around it, taking away some of the paint from the roses again.
"So that's why no one likes fighting Grim Reapers," Celeste said while finishing her slice.

Lucia's voice giggled through the connection as she clearly heard everything that was happening. "Not only does this let me talk to people, but it also lets me enter other people's platforms and even bring in others that appear on it. And in here I can manipulate the connections enough that I think I'll be able to use Requiem of Ascension without absorbing the others! And if Celeste is so worried then she can use your room and we'll use mine. Everyone wins! Anyhow, I've got to get back to tinkering with this, and Jason's not listening anyhow. See you later, sweetheart!" With that flirtatious send-off the connection severed.
Meanwhile not only was Jason not paying attention to Lucia, but he was absolutely livid at the Grim Reaper. "Alright you ass, I'll play your game. Chains of Darkness!" A large sphere of Darkness shot out from his palms and slammed into the Heartless, immobilizing it on contact. "You just sit right there." With his Aspect's speed he made short work of the small number of roses Seamus and the Reaper had left uncovered, careful to keep the gusts from his wings away from them as the infuriating paint refused to dry.
Soon enough they were all red again, and a savage smirk graced Jason's face as he pointed the barrel of Dusk Shroud at the Heartless' face point blank. "Consider this my critique. Dusk Barrage!" Fifteen shots rang out faster than the gun should have been able to fire, taking only a single second for them all. Immobilized and that close, the Grim Reaper simply wouldn't have a head anymore.
