The hare jumped back and forth, trying to dodge the attack. One of the sparks managed to find its way to lock at it, but didn't defeat it just yet, just made it trip, losing its speed. Kosuke saw his opportunity, and hurled a fireball at him with his Fire spell, defeating it after aiming dead in the Emblem.
"About time..." he let out a sigh of relief. But there was no time to rest, "Let's go after Necro. Once we beat that Spirit up, we're out for good."

Henoke cheered as his spell landed a hit, allowing Kosuke to finish the annoying spirit. Though he was in good spirits, the teen knew there was still work to be done. Necro had gone on ahead in hunt of the first spirit. I wonder if he's okay... A frown formed on Henoke's face as he looked off in the distance, worrying about the dragon after having fought a few of the spirits himself. "Let's go after Necro. Once we beat that Spirit up, we're out for good." Henoke stirred into action as he nodded to his friend, an enthusiastic smile on his face. "Yeah!"
He was ready. Kosuke and him had already fought together multiple times since they met, and the teen was confidence in their teamwork. With all of us together, there's nothing that can stop us! They had to reach Necro. If even one of his friends was hurt, he'd never forgive himself. Henoke rushed down the path in the direction Necro had gone, following Kosuke as the two rushed towards their friend.
Necro, hang in there! Henoke's speed increased down the path, his large Keyblade hoisted onto his shoulder as he ran.

Necro was dodging the swipes from a lynx-looking Spirit, that was as aggravated as it could be. As Kosuke and Henoke caught up to Necro, the Spirit was quick to target them, and let out a howl. More Spirits were quick to appear, in different size and shapes. Kosuke looked a little disheartened, as Necro returned to his side.
"Aw, give me a break already!" he said, somewhat irritated and tired, "You were the one summoning the Spirits after all?" "If we defeat it, then we have a shot at breaking out of the Illusion" Necro said, stern, "Doesn't matter how many Spirits there are. So long as we beat that one, we're good to go." "...Is it just me, or does that Spirit look different from the rest? It's not all grey-ish." "It's someone's Familiar. Probably a Traitor's." "Then... Well, I guess we have an excuse for fighting a Familiar now. Let's get this over with!"
The Spirits each decided to attack, but Kosuke and Necro were quick to deflect some of the attacks. Before the blade could even hit them, the lynx Spirit jumped in, protecting the other Spirits from harm. Kosuke backed down, a bit shocked, but then quickly noticed what would work best against it.
"It's... Protecting them...?! Then..." "Yeah! That's our only opening!"

Henoke gripped his weapon tight as the two emerged upon Necro fending off a Lynx Spirit. The two were in a heated battle, Henoke immediately shouting out: "Necro!!! Great job!!!" As the spirit noticed the two intruders, it howled to summon more spirits that surrounded the trio. "If we defeat it, then we have a shot of breaking out of the Illusion" Necro had retreated back towards the two, his voice a clear calming instruction as usual. Henoke smiled despite their situation, thankful for the two reliable friends he had made. "Doesn't matter how many Spirits there are. So long as we beat that one, we're good to go."
A broad grin emerged on Henoke's face as he heard that. "Oh, this'll be easy then~" Heaving his weapon in a two handed grip in front of him, the key bearer watched as the Lynx intercepted Kosuke's attacks. "It's...protecting them...?!" Kosuke seemed shocked, though Henoke couldn't blame him. He hadn't seen this kind of cooperation between spirits before. Wait...it's a Familiar? The Lynx seemed the be the same kind of Spirit as Necro, a familiar spirit linked to another. "Wait, if you're a familiar, can you hear me?!" Henoke had lowered his weapon a bit, though still held it tightly in both hands, shouting across the battlefield to the Lynx.
"If you can, please listen!" He took a step forward, a determined look on his face as he gazed at the Familiar. "We don't have to fight! Me and my friends want to help this world! People, Spirits, everyone!" The Keyblade in his hands was heavy as a sorrowful tone cracked his voice. "We don't have to fight! You're protecting your friends! I'm doing the same!" Suddenly there was a determined look as he resumed a battle stance.
"If we have to fight, let's do it, just us Guardians. We can both keep our fiends safe." He pointed his weapon at the Lynx, his brown golden eyes vibrant as he gazed pleadingly at the spirit. "If you won't be peaceful, I'll fight you, one on one!" All of this banked on the fact the Familiar could understand him. Necro can speak and think! He figured other Familiar's would be the same. He readied his weapon, waiting for the Lynx's response.
He was ready if the answer was violent.

"W-What are you...?!" Necro looked shocked.
The Familiar growled, and was quick to slash at Henoke, fangs wide open. It didn't look like it could be reasoned with, despite being a Familiar. Kosuke flinched, and Necro was quick to coil himself around him to protect him.
"What were you thinking?! Talking to a Traitor like that is going to get you killed!" the dragon shouted. "W-What...?" Kosuke looked lost. "Now what do we do?!"
The Spirits were aggravated, and attacked altogether. The lynx was focused on Henoke, aiming to take him down, while the rest handled Kosuke and Necro. There were way too many for the two to clear out. Had they gotten themselves in a trap?

The hope that had waned in Henoke's chest vanquished as the Lynx Spirit lunged forward, swiping with claws and biting at him. The teen heaved his Keyblade up into a guard to block the frontal attack, swiping out in a powerful swing of his own afterwards as he leapt back to gain some space. "Damn it!" He had really thought that his plan would work. "Fine." The teen's face grew determined as he gripped his weapon tightly in both hands. "If that's how it is..." He heard Necro and Kosuke's shouts, but his gaze was focused on the Lynx. His jaw set into a firm grit as he lunged towards the Lynx, keeping the pressure on as he heaved a powerful overhanded swing at it.
"I'll take you on!!" Whether or not the Familiar had heard him, he had at least gotten its attention. Now that the powerful Spirit was focused on him, Henoke felt that the battle would be easier. He knew Kosuke and Necro were both strong and could easily fend off the other spirits that were beginning to attack. One on one. He had challenged the Lynx, and whether or not it had accepted it, it was happening. I'll keep you focused on me! He knew that they had to defeat it to shatter the illusion and the spirits attacking his friends. He couldn't let this drag on too long.
Despite the battle going on, there was a broad smile on Henoke's face as he heaved his weapon in both hands. Using his Sliding Dash ability, Henoke closed the gap he had created between him and the Lynx, becoming a blur of orange that streaked directly towards it. The Keyblade in his hands became surrounded by a blinding light energy that crackled along grey steel as he shouted out his technique. "Blitz!" He slashed out with his Keyblade for one powerful attack as the light energy around it burst and sparked.
A loud CRAAAAACK!!! filled the air from the energy of the attack.

While the Lynx focused on Henoke, Kosuke and Necro took on the onslaught of aggravated Spirits, one after another. Having fought already before, without much time for a break, Kosuke was definitely not in a good shape to keep on fighting like that. He had still a lot of power left, but his stamina was lacking. And the Spirits knew that. Necro did all he could to protect him from the most fatal damage, but even then it was a challenge.
The Lynx recieved the hit head on, but only grew angrier. It prowled forward, looking to pin Henoke to the ground. Fangs wide open, it jumped to the boy's height, aiming to tackle him down seeing him close after sliding forward. It seemed like a chance was opening.
"Ah...! Dammit...!" Necro said, wincing, "I can't... Keep up...! There's too many of them, Kosuke...!" "I know, but..." Kosuke slashed away, trying to keep the Spirits at bay, "We have to break out of here! If we give up now, then... It'll all be for nothing!" "What do you plan on doing, then?!" "Urgh... I-I dunno...!" "Keep at it, Yubel. We're almost finished on our end."
Kosuke flinched, hearing a different voice. It left the Spirits a chance to tackle him down, and pin him to the ground. Necro was also caught in the attack, and was tossed back, stunned. The Lynx -Yubel- would growl at Henoke, if he managed to pin him to the ground. The Spirits that weren't keeping Kosuke down would help keep the Keyblade Wielder immobile, while someone dropped down from a height near them.
"Huh... That's why Kira was so beaten up, eh? You two got her good, y'know?"

No way! His Blitz ability hadn't seemed to do much to the Lynx, other than make it angrier. As the giant Familiar lunged forward, Henoke barely managed to evade being pinned as he rolled forward. The Familiars claws certainly got him good, though, as his left shoulder began to bleed from an open wound. As the key bearer got to his feet, his gold brown eyes fell on his friends. Currently, it seemed Kosuke and Necro were having a tough time handling the spirits, though the key bearer couldn't blame them. Though mentally he felt hardly any exhaustion, a raging fire burning in his heart, his body was telling a different story.
It wasn't just the shoulder wound that had tore through his blue jacket, but his body was certainly strained and exhausted. It had done a lot of fighting with very little rest in between. "Kosuke! Necro!" His friends were pinned down by the spirits now, there was no time for exhaustion! Rushing forward, the teen halted in his tracks as he finally registered what had caused Kosuke to slip up. A new voice echoed through the battlefield as a stranger dropped down to join them. "Huh...That's why Kira was so beaten up, eh? You two got her good, y'know?"
The multiple spirits surrounded the trio, pinning down the other two as Henoke kept a guard up, wary of the others surrounding him. There's so many! Gritting his teeth a bit, Henoke pointed his large steel grey Keyblade at the stranger, a glare on his face. "Who are you?!" The answer didn't really matter, though. Regardless of who the stranger was, the fact they seemed to be controlling the spirits alone marked them as an enemy. His eyes fell towards his pinned friends once more. Damn it! Thundara might hit Necro and Kosuke! He couldn't use an area effect at a time like this, despite its necessity.
Taking another step forward, the teen readied his Keyblade in two hands as he gripped it in front of him. "What have you done with this world?!" There was more anger in his voice as the teen's face began to redden, his glare determined as he prepared himself.
Whoever this person was, they were clearly bad news.

The voice that had spoken simply laughed, and the Lynx tried pinning Henoke down once more, seeing him surrounded and wounded. The Spirits now surrounding Henoke drew closer, trying to limit his movement, while the Lynx laid low to get his chance.
"Who am I? That's all you have ta ask?" the voice spoke, amused, "Sheesh, for a Keyblade kid, you're hopeless."
Kosuke tried throwing the Spirits pinning him down aside, and Necro tried to fight his way back besides him, but both of them couldn't. The amount of Spirits was alarmingly high, which surprised both him and the dragon. And now, pinned against the ground, the only thing they could do was watch as their efforts came to waste.
"Huh? ...You look familiar" the voice spoke, clearly talking to Kosuke, "Where have I seen you before...? Oh, now I remember! You're the guy Ruby managed to split up! Man, what are you doing here? How come you're still alive after that?" "W-What... Are you... talking about?!" Kosuke asked, groaning, trying to stand back up, "I... I don't even... Know you!" Well, duh! I've never seen you personally, either! I just know 'cuz Ruby was in charge of getting you out of the picture. But look-y here, you're actually alive!" "Kosuke...!" Necro's voice became broken in worry, trying to get by his side. "Ah, I see why now" the voice said rather playfully.
There was a loud and heavy thud as someone dropped down to step forward. It was a boy, probably around the same age as Henoke, with golden hair and eyes. He wore a brown leather coat, and a rather normal looking outfit, with a black T-Shirt and brown pants. He had a permanent grin in his face, as if he was amused by the spectacle of despair in front of him.
"Your Familiar's still here, roamin' around. That's how you managed to recover part of your memory... That won't do." "H-Huh?!" Necro flinched, seeing the boy walking closer and closer towards him. "So... Let's just get rid of this little inconvenience..." the boy said, with a broken look in his eyes: a bloodthirsty look. "NECRO!"
There was a sudden blast of energy, and the boy flinched away from Necro. A swirl of mist surrounded them all, and Necro became a blurry image in that mist.
"Dammit... Just how much power do you actually have?!" the boy cursed.

The Lynx leapt towards Henoke, taking him by surprise as he was tackled down. Having hoisted up his Keyblade, the teen was saved from the brunt of the damaged, but still heaved beneath the heavy Familiar. "Who am I? That's all you have ta ask?" The voice echoed across the battlefield, causing Henoke to grit his teeth as he pushed his Keyblade against the Lynx's claws, attempting to push himself off the ground. "Sheesh, for a Keyblade kid, your hopeless." The comment took Henoke by surprise, causing the teen to falter as he noticeably jerked in irritation. "H-hey! You bastard!" The Lynx on top of him was applying some pressure, causing his speech to be a gurgled shout.
It seemed the stranger knew Kosuke, as the two talked for a moment about events Henoke had no knowledge of. Confused and angry, the teen pushed against the lynx as a vein began to throb in his temple, his teeth gritting firmly. "Grrrr....this jerk!" It was a low growl, really directed to no one in particular. He continued to heave and push against the Familiars weight as it pressed against him, finally positioning himself on one knee. Thud! The noise caused Henoke to turn his gaze, keeping his Keyblade up. "Your Familiar's still here, roamin' around." There was a boy standing in the battlefield, one Henoke's age.
Though they shared the same age, they shared nothing else in common as far as Henoke was concerned. He had determined that by the look on his face. It made him mad. What is he saying about Necro? Suddenly, the stranger was walking towards Necro as Kosuke shouted out, his cry shattering the battlefields din. "NECRO!" Suddenly, a blast of energy erupted through the battlefield as the stranger was sent flinching away from Kosuke's Familiar. "Yeah! Get him, Kosuke!"
He couldn't get tied up by a Familiar while his friends were fighting for their lives! Pushing with all his strength, Henoke slashed out at the Lynx, pushing against its weight as he used the Keyblade's length to his advantage. Freeing himself of the pressure, the teen hoisted his Keyblade into the air with a loud shout as he channeled the weapon's magical nature. "THUNDARA!!" Bolts of lightning burst down upon the battlefield, pummeling down to punish the enemies surrounding the wielder.
"Necro! Kosuke!" The teen hoped his spell would create an opening. With that, he ran towards his friends, aiming to stand by their side in a battle ready position to aid them in what was to come. Together, we can do this! There was a burning fire raging in his heart.

"Oh, you BASTARD!" the boy yelled, bitterly. He flicked his arms up and down in a quick motion, revealing two blades beneath the gauntles, "Know what?! Fine! I was itching for a good fight, anyways!" he said with a bloodthirsty grin.
As the mist cleared up, Kosuke was looking at the boy back, with a determined glare. The Spirits pinning him down were tossed back by the sudden blast of energy, and the ones around Henoke, including the Lynx -Yubel-, were struck by lightning bolts. Most of them shattered, but a few and Yubel remained, angrier than ever. The boy smirked, charging towards Kosuke with both his blades.
"Yubel, take care of the Keyblade kid!" he ordered, attacking Kosuke, "This one's mine.." he added with a grin. "..." Kosuke blocked the attack almost effortlessly, and countered him back, "I won't... Lose to you..." "Heh..." the boy replied, standing back up from the attack, "RIGHT BACK AT'CHA! I'LL SLICE YOU APPART!"
The boy laughed histerically, like a maniac, as he charged back with his gauntlets at Kosuke, a broken look in his face. It didn't look like he'd let up easily.
As for Yubel, he growled at Henoke, and prowled once more at him up front. The other Spirits also tried to support him, but the thunder had paralized them in place, making them somewhat of an easy target.

"Oh, you BASTARD!" The stranger yelled out as him and Kosuke squared off. Before Henoke could make a move to aid his friend, the boy had ordered its Familiar to attack once more. Turning back towards the large Lynx, Henoke brought up his Keyblade to slash at the beast as it leapt for him. Luckily, his spell had seemed to stun the others, allowing him some breathing room as he squared off against the large Familiar. Rolling to the side, the teen hoisted himself back to his feet before taking aim at the large spirit. Hurling his Keyblade with all his might, Henoke used his Strike Raid ability to attack the Lynx from afar.
As he threw the weapon, he leapt backwards, catching it from the air regardless of the damage his attack had done as he did so. Gripping the large Keyblade tightly in both hands, Henoke rushed forward toward the Lynx, trying to keep the pressure on. I have to hurry up and help Kosuke!! Henoke's heart was pounding, the look on the stranger's face was making him paranoid. He knew Kosuke was strong, same with Necro, but there was something about that look that caused Henoke to feel like there wasn't much time. Once he closed the distance he had created, Henoke leapt through the air, readying his Keyblade in an overhanded strike as he slammed it down towards the Lynx, attempting to slice down on it.
"Kosuke! I got your back! Hang in there!" The teen shouted without turning around, hoping his friend would hear his words of encouragement.

The Lynx was tossed aback by the attacks, and flinched a bit as the Keyblade was tossed its way. It gave Henoke enough time to attack. The Lynx was tossed back, uncapacitated, but didn't shatter straight away. Instead, it laid down, hurt by the attack.
The scenery flickered a bit, but not enough to tell whether or not they were out of the Illusion. As the Lynx was left incapacitated, the boy yelled in agony. Kosuke tried making use of that vulnerable moment to attack and end him, but the boy blocked it with one of his gauntlets. As he struggled, the boy glared at Henoke.
"You're done for..." he said with a broken voice, and then snapped, "I'LL KILL YOU WITH BOTH OF MY HANDS!"
Pushing Kosuke back, the boy dashed towards Henoke, eyes locked on him, with a blood-thirsty aura around him. Both gauntlet blades were out and sharp, ready to slash Henoke appart.

There as a slight wobble to his step as Henoke panted, smiling in victory as he watched the Lynx go down. Though his heart was racing with adrenaline, his body was certainly feeling the strains of a day spent fighting nonstop. Despite his resilient heart and burning energy, the boy had obvious physical limits. The long Keyblade in his hands felt heavy, lowering a bit as he took a shaky step forward, laughing a bit due to exhaustion and joy. "I'LL KILL YOU WITH BOTH OF MY HANDS!" The sudden shout caused the teen to jolt in surprise, turning to fix his gaze on the boy coming towards him in a rage. The stranger was rushing towards the wielder, his eyes fixed with a gaze that reeked of bloodlust. Ah...shit.
He was tired. Exhausted, really. For a moment, the teen lifted his weapon in both hands, closing his eyes as he took a deep breath. Focus! I can't stop here! Opening his golden eyes, Henoke met the strangers glare with a look of determination. Even if it's just a moment, I need to give Kosuke an opening! He himself wasn't in any state to finish this battle. I have to pour my all into this! It was risky, putting the rest of his energy into a single attack. He hoped Kosuke could use it to his advantage. Readying himself, Henoke gripped his weapon tightly as he continued to control his breathing, his body shaking less and less as he focused, eyes closed.
As his eyes opened, an orange energy began to crackle around the steel grey Keyblade. Once the stranger was close enough, charging forward towards him in a rage, Henoke was suddenly a streak of orange that sparked and crackled forward through the charge. The only image was a single orange line that streaked through the stranger as it dissolved in a crackle of orange energy. "ZANTETSUKEN!!!" Henoke was suddenly behind the stranger, poised with the Keyblade in front of him as though he had just sliced through the air. Regardless of the damage done by his impossibly fast and powerful attack, Henoke falls to one knee as his body shakes and trembles. Damn...it... He seemed to have pushed himself too far, the only thing halting him from falling over being the Keyblade at his side, jutting into the ground as he leaned against it.
"K-Kosuke!" His voice was growing weaker as his body slumped forward. He was too exhausted. The Keyblade dissolved in a ray of light, abandoning its master as he began to lose consciousness, falling to the ground in a heap as he called out to his comrade. "Y-you...got this!" Henoke fainted, his body finally demanding the much needed rest it required. The last of the teens energy had been in his Zantetsuken attack, pouring every ounce of strength he had had left into the strike. Truthfully, it wasn't as powerful as it usually was, as Henoke hadn't had much energy left to begin with. The power may have lessened, but the form and strike itself was still formidable. He hoped it created the opening his comrades needed.
As he lost consciousness, Henoke grinned, having hope that his friends would be victorious.

As the Zantetsuken attack landed its mark, the boy flinched, and faltered a bit. Kosuke tried using that chance to attack. Imbuing his blade in wind, Kosuke aimed to attack and end him, but he blocked it with ease. Kosuke flinched and jumped back just as the boy countered with his blade.
"That kid... He's really gone and done it..." the boy smirked, various wounds around his body, but he was unfazed by them, "And here I thought I could just kill him myself... But it's no fun killing someone uncapacitated like that... So it just leaves you for the taking..." "..." Kosuke glared, "This... This is all fun to you...?" "Ha! It's more than fun!" the boy taunted, "This is my life! Killing the strongest... Enjoying their suffering of defeat... IT'S THE REASON I LIVE ON!" "You...!" "SO OF COURSE I WANT TO KILL YOU ALL! BECAUSE THAT MEANS YOU'RE WEAK, AND WORTHLESS TO LIVE! IF YOU CAN'T KILL SOMEONE, THEN THEY WILL KILL YOU!" "That's ENOUGH!"
Kosuke drew his blade forward, trying to catch the boy off-guard. The boy managed to dodge out of the way, but Kosuke didn't let up. He continued attacking, not willing to let him win. He continued to attack endlessly with his blade, attacking ever faster, to the point the boy couldn't predict his movement. With one final slash, Kosuke managed to toss him aside against a wall.
"Gah!" the boy let out a shout of pain. "..." Kosuke walked towards him, who was defeated on the ground, "Had enough? Or are you still going to fight?" "Keh..." the boy chuckled back, "You've... Still got a ways to go!"
He jumped back, using his legs to push Kosuke back. However, when Kosuke readied himself to attack, the boy was no longer there. He heard steps above, and looked up. The boy, and the Lynx, were both standing at the edge of the wall, looking down on him.
"I'm done here, anyways. ...Y'know? Maybe next time will be the definitive one" the boy said, "Until then, tell that kid to get good. Otherwise, I'll kill him in a flash. And I will enjoy~ that."
With that, he dissapeared in a flash of light. The scenery flickered once more, and the sound of something shattering echoed in the world. Soon, the voice of children shouting and playing was heard, and things seemed to be back to normal. Kosuke looked at the people that were there: only kids, probably none older than 14. It made one wonder what kind of place that was.
Dismissing his power, Kosuke walked towards Henoke, and laid him sitting against a wall. He grabbed him by his shoulders, and shook him, trying to see if he would react.
"Henoke... You okay?" he asked, worried, "Please... Answer..."

Henoke lay on the ground unconscious, oblivious to the battle continuing on around him. As Kosuke and the stranger fought, the teen dreamed of his past. He stood in the training grounds of his home world, dripping with sweat under the bright sun. In his hand was his long steel grey Keyblade, though at that time it had always felt much heavier in his palms. Around him were splintered remains of training dummies, all of which he had successfully pummeled into submission. Though he stood victorious, a light headedness caused Henoke's grin to falter as he found himself falling backwards onto the ground floor. Sweat drenched his body, which shook a bit involuntarily as it trembled from exhaustion.
"You need to learn your limits." A cold voice cut through the clearing, one that was full of disapproval. A tall man with a muscular stature appeared, walking towards the teen laying on the floor in a heap. The man was older, his long hair greying, tied into a long bun that sat at the back top of his head. Around his mouth was a rough grey beard, thin but defined. Garbed in a black jacket with swirling buttons and black pants that stopped short of his ankles, the older man knelt beside Henoke, jabbing the teen in the ribs with his long bony finger. "You push your body too hard."
There was a hint of concern in the berating voice, though Henoke had to search deep to find it. Grimacing a bit as he looked up at his Master, Henoke narrowed his eyes at the man. "Tch, my body quits too easily." He would have turned away, but he couldn't really move much at the moment. Closing his eyes a bit, the wielder took a deep breath as he felt the wind wash over him. Suddenly, there was a harsh shaking jarring him, his eyes feeling heavy and unwilling to open as a voice echoed dimly. "Henoke...You okay?" He felt like he was under water. "Please...answer..." The shaking continued, forcing the teen to grimace a bit and mumble.
"Master...five more...minutes..." Slumped against the wall, the teen was jolted awake, yelling out in surprise. Quickly, the shout turned into a groan. He felt like he had been hit by a train. Raising a hand to his head, Henoke blinked a few times before gathering his surroundings. Kosuke knelt before him, looking more or less fine despite the previous battle. There was other noise as well, the distant din of children playing and jeering at the rides that littered the amusement park. A broad smile brightened the teen's face, despite the fact he could hardly find the strength to move.
"H-hey! Did you do it?!" A laugh escaped him, he was happy. He knew he hadn't been mistaken to put his faith in his new friends.

Kosuke flinched a bit when Henoke jolted back awake, and chuckled a bit when he groaned. He could just tell that he was still exhausted, and his body still had to recover. Nonetheless... He was happy Henoke was okay.
"H-hey! Did you do it?!" Kosuke looked at Henoke, a bit lost as he laughed. Kosuke simply smiled back, and looked away. "I... Couldn't have done it without you, being honest..." he admitted, "You gave me an opening, even if it was a little one... So, thanks."
Kosuke stood back up after a while, and looked down to where the kids were all playing. He couldn't see anyone that didn't look like a kid. No adults whatsoever. It really made him wonder what kind of place that was. A children's paradise? That was a bit of wishful thinking, but, then again, it wasn't a world he was acquainted with.
"Hey... Umm..." Kosuke looked back at the Keyblade Wielder, but then smiled uneasily, "Right... I guess you're still exhausted after that one... Take it easy."

Henoke was grateful for the support of the wall behind him. His body still seemed to groan in protest at any movement, causing the teen to grow slightly discouraged internally. I need to get stronger... He had learned a lot, fighting with Kosuke and Necro on this world. Hopefully the hard battles would only add to the armor of his heart, a burning fire refusing to be snuffed out. "I couldn't have done it without you, being honest..." A slight red creeped into Henoke's cheeks as he grinned sheepishly, reaching a hand up to scratch the back of his head. "You gave me an opening, even if it was a little one...so, thanks." The teen nodded, grinning foolishly at his friend as he gave the swordsman a 'thumbs up'. "Anytime!"
As Kosuke glanced around their surroundings, Henoke did the same from his sitting position. It was nice, hearing the sounds of children playing and laughter ringing through the air. The wielder noticed that there seemed to be a lack of adults on this world, something he grinned at with a childish joy. Heh...what a fun world to be a part of! He would have dreamed for a world like this when he was younger. He had always hated adults as a kid. The nostalgia caused a sudden pang of home sickness to surge through him. Chirithy and his master were still no where to be found. I'll have to keep looking... Henoke gripped his hand into a fist, a determined look in his golden brown eyes as he steeled the courage in his heart.
"Right...I guess you're still exhausted after that one...take it easy." Henoke jolted a bit, an irked look on his face as he glared up at Kosuke. Gah! Look at him! Totally standing up right like he's fine! The competitive spirit in Henoke had sparked back up, a glint in his eye as he pushed himself up to his feet. He was tired, but could certainly walk around. Resting his hands behind his head, a sheepish look came across the teen's face once more. "I'm fine! Thanks!" Rubbing a finger beneath his nose, the teen averted his gaze a bit before grumbling:
"I may need to avoid fights for a minute, though..."

"Let's hope that's the case" Kosuke replied, "Being honest, I don't think I can fight, either."
He looked around, searching for something -or rather, someone. After that battle, Necro was nowhere to be found. But he wasn't gone, nor he was injured or anything. But physically, he wasn't there. Something rung inside Kosuke's heart, and he reached unconsiously towards his chest.
He then looked at the kids running around, perking up about their looks. Some had donkey ears, some donkey tails, but there were also normal-looking kids. Not only that, but... Kosuke didn't think he'd pass unnoticed, due to his height.
"So... Where to, next...?" he asked, somewhat uneasily, "Although I doubt I'll go by unnoticed like this..."
Sure enough, a kid looked up, and sounded the alarm to the others. The cries became louder and louder, and the kids ran away from the two, making Kosuke flinch.
"Well... That... proves somethings..." "An adult! Quick, hide, before they get us back to the boring world!"

It seemed both of them were out for the count in regards to combat. Truthfully, it put Henoke the slightest bit on edge, being so vulnerable. Looking around, the teen was surprised to see some kids running around with donkey ears or tails. Raising an eyebrow and tilting his head, Henoke pondered aloud. "What a bizarre place..." It seemed the world was full of just kids, amusement park rides and booth games. Who knew why some of them had animal appendages, but the wielder thought it looked slightly discomforting. It wasn't until just then that Henoke noticed Necro's absence. "H-hey...where's Necro?"
His question was cut off by a kid, hollering to alarm the others. "An adult! Quick, hide, before they take us back to the boring world!" Many of the children seemed to run at the sight of Kosuke, who indeed seemed older than anyone else on this world. The boring world? Henoke had thought they had broken the Illusion once defeating the stranger that had appeared, but something still seemed amiss. "Hey...Kosuke. Do you think these kids were sent here?" His guess was based by how the children reacted to Kosuke, as well as the other bizarre happenings that had already occurred on this world.
Were the locals even really locals, at all? Why send a bunch of kids to an amusement park...? It had seemed the children knew of another world, one with far less fun in it. That meant that they themselves weren't locals to this odd amusement park world, but visitors. Just what's going on...? He had seemed to stumble upon a very mysterious world, indeed. Henoke turned to Kosuke, a puzzled look on his face.
He waited to hear what his friend had to say.
