As the spikes came towards Riley he thought of just avoiding them before seeing what was going to happen next, but he knew Trish well. Everything she did had a second purpose. Knowing Trish it had something to do with giving the other five a better chance against them. So she was trying to divide the three of them to even the odd. Riley's hand glowed with twilight as it formed into a buzzsaw that was rapidly spinning. "I won't fall for that!" He fired the Twilight Razor, which quickly cut through the spikes and kept going along a set path.
Alice simply just quickly moved out of the way of the spikes, leaving behind an afterimage, which fired three orbs of ice magic at Trish. Alice would be damned if she was going to let everyone else have all the fun. She needed to get stronger, right now her level of power was nowhere near where it was in the vision she had back in her time. She was tired of being treated as just some brat. She would have to learn a lot from her grandfather if she was going to become a master in time, but for now she had to prove her worth without his current self's help. In her mind the only way to do that was to show that they weren't so different, and that she too had a similar power sleeping inside her. Cracks formed around Alice as the white of her eyes slowly turned black and her pupils turned a bright gold. Her pitch black black top, shorts, gloves and countless belts became blood red. At the same time her blood red leggings, boots, and waist cape became pitch black. The emblem on her top changes to be pitch black as well. The cracks in reality shattered around her giving off the sound of a mirror shattering as she entered her family's Mirror Form Command Style. Her eyes shifted their focus on Kavra's Bioza spell.
Trish was a little annoyed that her attack didn't do that much damage to them, but it had severed it's true purpose of distracting them. She looked at the other five Masters. They took most of Alice's attack, and they weren't as tanky as she was. Normally she would try her best to take the three on while they recovered on their own, but with O'Malley's new increase in power and whatever level of power the girl and Nobody were on she didn't want to leave anything to chance. She eyed the Bioza that was heading her way. There was noway she could take them all on her own, let alone while poisoned. Her hand started to glow green before she waited for the Bioza to get closer to her. She fired a large green orb at the five. She narrowly dodged both Bioza and the orbs of ice from Alice's afterimage.
Before Trish could do anything else Riley suddenly appeared right in front of her, having Divine Chaos out. Trish's eyes widened as his keyblade started to glow before he swung it right behind her. Why he would miss such a guaranteed strike was beyond Trish, until something else happened. What was between her and his blade was suddenly erased; the air, the ground, and everything in between was suddenly gone. Then everything started to shift to close the gab in reality as if what Riley had erased had never existed in the first place. What followed was an explosion as Kavra's Bioza had returned to hit Trish and Alice's orbs hit the ground beside her thanks to Riley's erasing.
As the smoke cleared Trish's body flashed purple for a brief moment as the posion effect took hold of her. The ground was frozen around them thanks to Alice's attack. She was already slower than O'Malley, but with this effect on her she might as well be moving in slowga magic while trying to dodge him. Riley laughed a dark laugh. Before he could capitalize on the situation He saw the area suddenly get brighter. He was able to get out of the way of the beam of light that was coming from one of the other five, who were all healed from Trish's healing orb. That was annoying, but he did have to admit it was making things more interesting. Trish took the opportunity to run, as fast as she could while poisoned, back to the house she touched eariler.
Suddenly the house Trish touched started shifting and moving. It started to glow as it's different parts shifted inwards and outwards as it was forming into something completely different. Dust kicked up from it and covered it like a thick veil. The shadow of the house inside the veil suddenly took form, the most notable being wings on the back of whatever it was. The dust settled slowly revealing Trish's creation. "Stoneza Forge third style; Tyrant Dragon!" Trish yelled proudly. The house had turned into a medium sized dragon that stood on all fours. It's body was mostly made of harden earth, while it's talons and fangs were made of metal. It gave out a loud roar, proving that it was actually alive. It lowered its head to that Trish could climb on top of it. With a flap of its wings it took to the skies.
So that was what she was really up to. If it was dragons she wanted to use then it was dragons she would get. Riley's eyes started glowing before he gave an evil smile. "Siynhyenrio come on out and show her how-"
He stopped when he felt Alice tug his arm. "Summoning Siynhyenrio in a situation like this is cheating Grandpa."
"No one ever lets me summon him" Riley pouted.
The other five masters got into a formation as they each summoned their weapons. One of them had their keyblade turn into a dagger, one had his change into a medium sized shield, another into a mace, one had hers become a staff, and the last one just kept it as is. They may not be as strong as Trish, but if they were going to go down they would go down fighting till their last breath.
Riley gave them all an evil grin, at least his prey wouldn't be dying too easily. He looked up at Kavra on his platform. It was time for him to prove his worth. Riley's eyes started glowing with Psy before Kavra's body was cloaked in an aura of blue energy with traces of black in it. He would feel faster and stronger from it. Riley then gave Alice a certain look, which Alice just returned with a different look before looking back at the five masters. Riley disappeared for a second, before he reappeared on top of one of the houses. A strange heat suddenly came over the village as it soon found itself on fire with a powerful blaze sweeping over it. Nearly the entire village was on fire. Ash started to fill the air and some of the buildings were started to fall on themselves.
The five Masters looked at each other before they formed a plan. Trish still needed time to recover so they would have to hold off the others. The one that kept their keyblade as is quickly moved to start running towards Riley, but pointed their keyblade at Kavra before firing five small blasts of light at him. He then kept his keyblade to his side as he closed the gap between him and Riley. The one who's keyblade turned into a dagger eyed Alice as her dagger started sparking with lightning as she took a defensive stance. The one with the mace jumped in front of her holding it out and firing a beam of twilight at Alice. The one with the staff simply tapped it on the ground before another row of spikes started coming for Alice, while other rows of spikes start moving across the village.
Alice simply gave them all a look that said 'was that all?, She suddenly appear on thei left, leaving another afterimage where she once stood. Her afterimage fired three beams of powerful plasma at them, while the real Alice's hand glowed with magma before she fired fired an orb of it at them. "Bioza magma style!" She used the attack she copied from Kavra, but put a magma spin to it thanks to her ability to change the element of the attacks she copied. She moved again to leave behind a third afterimage in her place, which quickly moved to strike at them with her claws. Alice appeared on top of one of the burning houses. She looked at the battle field before she decided to just stay where she was for now.
The Master with the shield turned their focus on Kavra. Their shield lit on fire with a powerful flame before he threw it a him, it started spinning quickly right in between the blasts of light that were also coming at him. The Blasts of light suddenly grew thin strings that latched onto the shield as it spun faster and faster. The stings lit on fire and the entire thing became a spinning disk of fire and light. "Burning Light!" shouted the Master.
Trish could only watch the chaos from her dragon. The poison meant she wouldn't be able to fight at her best for a bit, so she had to be smart about her next move. As long as she stayed on her dragon she was safe from any ground based attacks, and they couldn't force her into melee without somehow getting up to her level. So air support was the best option for now, at least while the others were still able to hold their own.

Tch—seriously? He had to slay a dragon now? Wack. Watching in a mesmerized awe as Trish took to the skies on her stone winged-beast, the Nobody couldn’t help but feel another faint tick making an appearance. Whatever—it’s not even that cool. Jealousy—at least, the faint echo of it. Though his Bioza spell had hit its mark, thanks to Riley’s odd power, it seemed the damnable woman would be able to recover in the skies. Standing in the air on his dark platform, Kavra scowled as he watched her begin to fly off, high above the town. He could chase her on foot—but boy would that be exhausting. Why put in that much effort?
What the—? A surge of power seemed to flow through him. Looking down at his hands, clutching the long orichalcum staff, the Nobody’s eyes widened as he watched the vibrant energy around him crack and spark. Looking down towards Riley, who was already preparing something else, the Nobody tsked before readying himself. Damn. He’s gonna make me work. Well, it couldn’t be helped. He needed a heart, after all, and at least this spell made it easier. It felt like his Haste, but stronger. As the Five Masters began to charge, Kavra kept his eyes on Trish, flying off in the distance. Just as he was about to begin running through the air, shimmering light flared in his peripheral. Turning his head, the Nobody shouted out as the Masters attack flew directly for him.
While the wave of heat erupted over the town below and Alice surged hell upon Masters, the Shield Master had seen it fit to join in the fray—hurling what soon became a spinning meteor of death, forming with the rays of light. ”You serious?!” Everyone was so extra! Whatever happened to efficient, non-flashy moves?! ”Tch—whatever, I’m over this.” Surprisingly, the Nobody’s long staff disappeared in a fit of nothingness. Holding out both hands, one directly aimed at the flaming disk, the other aimed at the dimming speck he knew Trish and her dragon to be, Kavra summoned two Dark Portals. Just before colliding with him, the large flaming death-ball would instead be thrown through dark nothingness before emerging through the other, hurtling through the night sky like a reverse comet—aimed directly for the giant stone dragon.
”Well—you just threw your weapon, idiot.” Looking down at the Shield Master with feigned contempt and annoyance, Kavra called the Smoker’s Pipe back into his hands. Twirling the long staff, the Nobody dismissed the platform of darkness beneath him, falling directly toward the Shield Master. Using the aura given to him by Riley, Kavra was a speeding bullet. ”Gravity—“ A swirling purple energy consumed the long staff that came down in a blinding arc upon the (hopefully) unarmed Shield Master. ”—Break!!” An eruption of pressure similar to a Gravity spell would erupt over the area Kavra’s weapon had struck. Combining with the speed of his fall and the power of the aura surging around him, Kavra hoped to snuff out the Shield Master with a single crushing blow.
Man—was he earning that heart or what?

Riley just smiled as the master was running towards him. Divine Chaos started glowing before it transformed into a pair of convertible revolver-sickles Riley named Cinder and Ash. He started firing blasts of Psy at the master, who was taken by surprise by the transformation. The Master started blocking the blasts, which exploded on contact against his keyblade. Suddenly one of the sickles was fired at his leg, and quickly wrapped around his leg with the chain made of energy it was attached to. With it locked around the master's leg Riley then pulled his revolver-sickle back, causing him to lose his footing and be pulled through the air quickly. Riley started spinning him around him quickly before finally slamming him against one of the burning houses, which collapsed on top of him. To make sure the deed was done Riley fired the other sickle and with his mind directed it into the debris his body was laying under, and stabbed him in the head with the sickle. He retracted the chains bringing the sickles back into the revolvers. He lifted the blood soaked sickles to his mouth and licked them.
Trish wasn't liking what was happening below her, and she liked the attack coming right for her dragon even less. In the air her options were to use a barrier of some sorts, try to detonate the attack before it reached her, or try to get out of the way. Before she could try to decide she felt her dragon roar out in pain and move slightly. She then noticed the sickle that was in the dragon's right hind leg. Quickly following the chain revealed that it came from Riley. Trish was his true target, to him the others were just collateral damage. The dragon tried to start flying away from both Riley and the Burning Light attack that was closing in fast. Riley's second sickle pierced it's right wing just as Trish made her move. She put her hands on her dragon's back and it started glowing. "Hardened Earth,". Just after that Burning Light hit it's mark, exploding into a blast of fire and light.
The Master who just lost his shield cursed as he could only watch his attack head straight for Trish. He couldn't recall it while it was like that. Trish would have to deal with it on her own, he had his own problems. Namely how to deal with this situation without his weapon. As Kavra came down the masters arm lit with fire before the fire quickly formed into a round shield. The shield and Gravity Break collided, causing the ground around them to crack and a gust a wind to emit from where they were. The shield glowed brighter as the master struggled to push Kavra back. Soon the ground under him gave way and the two attacks exploded.
Alice watched the chaos unfolded, making sure to pay attention to the Burning Light attack before it hit. She then turned her attention to the other two masters who had to deal with her onslaught of attacks and afterimages. Her hand glowed with plasma as she was already thinking of ways to end them both. The one with the lightning dagger narrowly dodged Alice's attacks while the one with the mace was hit by the afterimage. The one with the staff was hit hard by the beams of plasma, and she was badly burned from it. The plasma in Alice's hand formed into a disk that spun rapidly. Soon five orbs of wind formed and spun around it as streams of plasma formed on the disk and connected to the wind orbs. "Shocking Winds," Alice once again put a twist on an attack she copied. Instead of throwing it right away Alice ran with it towards the three masters. The three masters waited until Alice got closer before moving out of the way of her attack, but that's what she was counting on. Right as they jumped away from her she slammed the attack on the ground, causing an explosion of wind and plasma. As the dust settled the three masters were badly injured, and all fell to the ground with a loud thud. Alice left them as is, she knew her grandfather would want to finish them off permanently with his scythe once this was all over.
As the smoke cleared Trish's dragon was better off than one would expect it to be. Trish had hardened the material it was made of just before they got hit. The sickles were still in the dragon, and Riley started pulling on the chains to try to drag the dragon and Trish back down to the ground. The dragon roared before firing a boulder at Riley. Riley's eyes glowed as the boulder suddenly stopped in midair. Trish's eyes widen as she realized Riley was using his psychic powers now. Random burning debris around the village rose from the ground before they and the boulder bolted towards Trish and the dragon. Riley followed it up by firing more blasts of Psy at them. Trish was running out of options, but the dragon rose its wings up as they were hit by the barrage of attacks, knocking it out the sky and sending it to come crashing down. Riley pulled on the chains again to swing them over in a different direction.
Trish was already trying to find a way out of this. Her hands started glowing again as she put up a reflect spell around her. The dragon crashed to the ground violently kicking up a large amount of dust and debris. As everything settled the dragon was broken up into large pieces of stone and metal. Trish stood in the center of it all, the reflect spell saving her what might have been her death. Trish finally summoned her keyblade armor and the leftover stone and metal from the dragon started moving. The attached themselves to her armor, giving her another layer of protection. He kept her keyblade to her side, trying to wait out the time before she would have to fight all three of them.
As the other smoke cleared the master who had the shield was badly injured. His right arm was bleeding and was just hanging to his side limp. He had nearly lost all feeling in it. His vision was blurry and his head was bleeding. "Damn you.." Was all he could say before he landed flat on his face with a loud thud. A pool of blood slowly formed around him.

”Huff…huff…huff…” If he had a heart, it would be pounding. The violent explosion from the Shield Master’s sudden defending move had taken him for surprise. That bastard… Having felt first-hand the force fighting against his attack, Kavra grimaced as the smoke cleared to reveal said man collapsing. ”Damn you…” As the Shield Master fell and blood began to pool, the Nobody staggered a bit as he winced, supporting himself with his long staff. ”Tch—right back at’cha.” With a sour expression, Kavra gazed down to asses the damage. The sleeve’s of his jacket were torched from the elbow down, becoming ribbons and rags that revealed scorched body and blood. It was the right arm that had taken the most damage, the one he led his blow with.
…So empty… He didn’t feel angry, resentful, remorseful—just aching and empty. Though his arms had taken the brunt of the damage, Kavra’s torso smoldered and smoked, random parts of his outfit singed or still alight with faint embers. Even the tips of his messy pale-blue hair had been singed black. Oh well. Sighing a bit as he remembered where he was, Kavra straightened up, supporting himself with the staff still but wobbling less. ”Hm…where’d the—“ It was then Kavra saw the large stone dragon plummeting through the air, dragged around by a crackling chain of energy. Following the leashes, the Nobody’s eyes fell on Riley, elated with bloodlust and in full glory. If I still felt jealousy— That’s what he’d feel watching that expression, if he could.
Watching as Trish managed to stay alive (somehow, man, that woman was good at not dying…so far) through the crash, combining her Keyblade Armor with the ruined dragon parts, Kavra knew what awaited him. ”Sigh…looks like I’ll have to work a little longer.” He just wanted a cigarette. Heaving the orichalcum staff over his shoulders, the Nobody headed for the direction of their remaining target. She just won’t quit…even when all her friends die. Man, were humans always so selfish? Talk about people that needed hearts the most. He wouldn’t rush—it was Riley’s moment to enjoy himself, after all. Though it was his first real ‘job’ for the guy, Kavra wasn’t an idiot.
He knew how to read people, at least.

(Last phase of the fight I promise lol)
Trish knew if she didn't do something big soon she would fall just like her friends just moments ago. She was only able to recover a bit from the poison, and she was counting on her dragon to provide backup. She could run away and hide in a different world, to heal up and maybe gather some more allies but knowing O'Malley that would just put more people in danger. To prevent more people from sharing the same fate as her fallen friends she would have to end him here and now. She did not forget about the other two, or the fact that there was the girl could copy attacks. If she was going to get out of this alive she couldn't afford a single mistake. Her body flashed before a bunch of sharpened stones swirled around her keyblade as she entered her Earth Shatter command style. She then stuck her keyblade into the ground and it began to crack around her. Sharpened stones rose up from the cracks, and some of them formed together to make six perfect clones of her base form. The rest of the sharpened stones raced out to their targets, some at Riley, some for Kavra, and the rest for Alice. Two clones each ran behind the groups of stone, two for each fighter. Trish remained where she was, to prepare for any counter attacks.
Riley smiled as he knew this was Trish's last stand. Cracks formed around him as the white of his eyes slowly turned black and his pupils turned a bright gold. His pitch black black top, shorts, gloves and countless belts became blood red. At the same time his blood red leggings, boots, and waist cape became pitch black. The emblem on his top changed to be pitch black as well. The cracks in reality shattered around him giving off the sound of a mirror shattering as he entered Mirror Form just like Alice. He stuck Divine Chaos into the ground and put both of his hands on top of it. He didn't bother blocking the strikes from the clones, who managed to cut his sides as they ran past him. They both looked back wondering why Riley didn't do anything to stop them. The sharpened stones the real Trish shot at him hit their mark, damaging him but not his outfit.
Trish's eyes widened as Riley gave her an evil smile. As a reward for lasting this long Riley would kick it up a notch. His scythe appeared in his hand, and he raised his other hand. The bodies of Trish's fallen friends rose off the ground and quickly flew towards Riley. Trish watched in horror as Riley slashed them with his scythe one by one, and with each slash their bodies vanished into ash. Their souls appeared briefly before violently exploding while screaming out in agony. The scythe glowed with an evil energy and he laughed a dark laugh. Why stop there when things could get crazier? He did love the new weapon his goddess gave to him for his efforts so why not use it? A bright purple light covered Riley, causing Trish and the two clones that were after Riley to shield their eyes. As the light started to dim the light from what had to be headlights shined out of it only to be followed by the sound of a motorcycle engine. With the sound of burning rubber Riley quickly rode out of the purple light on a heavily armored purple motorcycle. He pushed one of the buttons to make the razor sharp spikes come out of the tires, turning them to buzzsaws. He was heading right for Trish at an incredible speed.
Alice's keyblade glowed with Plasma as she prepared to fend off the clones. She slashed at the sharpened stones that came for her, the plasma coating her keyblade nullifying them. The first clone slashed at her right leg, while the other hit her left side. She ignored the pain as she started clashing blades with both of them, back flipping to block their keyblades with her tail. When she saw the purple light from the corner of her eye she knew exactly what her grandfather was about to do. Given the stunned reaction to seeing the buzzsaw motorcycle for the first time, they would all get an opening soon.
The last two clones followed behind the sharpened stones that were heading for Kavra. The one furthest from him would stop in her tracks and sink her keyblade into the ground. "Mud field!" The ground around them started to turn into mud, and was quickly starting to spread around that part of the village. The other quickly ran to the left side of Kavra and tried to slash at his torso.

He didn’t have time to see Riley’s display of power. Trish seemed to hardly feel defeated. Kavra tsked as mud began to gush forth from the first clone, glueing to his shoes as he deflected the first stone easily with his staff. The second was barely blocked, as Kavra’s footwork had been restrained, causing the rock to fling backwards and land a crunching hit on the left shoulder. With the other clone already closing in to his left, the Nobody sighed before glancing between the two opponents. ”Jeez—“ Just as the second clone would go in to land their attack, a large burst of smoke would erupt exactly where Kavra had stood. Their weapon would slash through empty smoke, whirling as it continued to grow and expand over the battlefield around them.
”—I really didn’t think I’d have to work this hard.” Within a moment the Nobody appeared through the smoke in front of the first clone, who’s Keyblade would hopefully still be in the ground from casting their spell. Despite the mud, it was easy to move now that he had used his ’true’ form. WHOOSH! The long Orichalcum staff erupted through the smoke, arcing from the clones left in a horizontal slash. Normally he wouldn't have used the power of The Smoker so lightly, but the damage he'd taken during this battle was really starting to add on. Heh—guess that's one perk of not being' human... It was a hollow joke for a hollow reassurance he didn't need. It wasn't like he felt anything, even when the 'body' he possessed had sustained so much damage. Everything's so empty—even the blows.
”You don’t deserve your heart.” Vanishing back into the smoke after delivering his attack, the Nobody would be out of sight to the clones, though they’d be able to hear his voice as it echoed throughout the area. ”Dark—“ Shing! Swoosh! ”—Blizzara!” Conjured ice ruptured through the haze, aimed for both clones in a spraying direction, engulfed in a menacing purple and black dark energy as they sped forth. It was after he cast his spell that the Nobody began to hear Riley's battle. VVVVRRRRRROOOOOOOM!!! The smoke seemed to still, though for just a moment as Kavra’s mental attention was pulled towards the purple light that flared.
Sigh—he’s as flashy as always… Hadn’t anyone heard of killing quietly? Efficiently? The ‘Organization’ had been flashy, based on the data he'd seen, and look where that had gotten them. Some people never learn… Oh well. It's not like he thought Riley could lose. There was a reason the Nobody was following them, after all. If anyone could secure a heart worthy of his lack—it'd be them.

The first clone barely lifted her keyblade up enough to guard against Kavra's counterattack, as the second was surprised her keyblade only hit smoke. They were able to hear the Blizzara spell go off, but not in time to avoid it. the ice crystals hit them, leaving some hunks of ice on them and pushing the second one back. The first out stood up with her keyblade finally out of the ground, but both of them were both distracted from the sounds of the other battle. Without the real Trish they would cease to exist after all. They were distracted long enough for some of the fire to surround them and badly injure them.
Trish was stunned by the fact Riley was now on a motorcycle enough to be hit dead on by him driving right into her, launching her straight into the air. Riley quickly turned around sharply on his bike before he drove past the real Trish and headed right for the two clones who went after him. The two clones got over the initial shock of Riley's new weapon just in time to jump out of the way, but Riley had planned for that. He pushed a button on his motorcycle and it split into two, with the handlebars now acting as handles as the motorcycle became two buzzsaw swords. Riley revved the handles making the buzzsaw wheels to spin faster as he slashed at the clones on either side. The blades spun to grind the clones back into stone before it turned them into dust. Riley dismissed his bike and turned back to face Trish.
Trish fell with a thud a first, but she quickly spun to land on her feet the second time she hit the ground. She knew she couldn't afford to leave herself open for long. Especially when facing the unknown. With how the three of them were she doubted the rest of her clones would last much longer. She would have to make the most of what little time they were able to give her. She knew that she would have to take out Riley if she had any chance of winning this, so she would have to finish him hear and now. Her eyes that were still mostly clam thanks to her training now turned to show her anger. For the sake of her last kid that was still alive, for those still left in the village, and those who these three planned to kill after this she would win this.
Trish's aura glowed brighter before she suddenly disappeared. She then reappeared high into the air, with more sharpened stones floating around her. The stones then rained down across the area everyone was fighting in. She then dived down towards Riley, who was using Divine Chaos to deflect some of the stones. She landed behind him, slashing down on his back. She wasted no time to follow up by jumping in front of him. Her aura transferred to her lance as she lunged it into Riley's chest, a massive explosion happening on contact. As the smoke and dust faded it revealed the end of her lance sticking out of Riley's back, and him hanging lifeless on it. Trish panted as using her finisher drained her, but her tired body couldn't show how grateful she was to have finally killed O'Malley. "It didn't.. have to end this way O"malley." she said still out of breath. "But you left me no other choice."
"So you think you've killed me," Riley somehow said laughing. "How interesting."
Riley's body slowly faded away as mist revealing himself to be one of Alice's illusions. The fire that took over the village faded away, but the burn marks and other damage it did remained. Finally some parts of the battlefield shattered like glass, revealing that most of the village was in ruins. Houses had giant holes in them if they weren't nearly completely missing, there were craters everywhere as well as blood, and there were signs of other battles going on. In the center of it all the real Riley sat on top of some rubble from a fallen house that was hidden by Alice's illusion. It was clear that Riley had killed the others in the village was the main fighting was going on. He has his scythe that was still dripping with fresh blood. He just gave Trish an evil smile as he looked over what all he missed. His eyes flashed as a green aura instantly covered and fully healed him, Alice, and Kavra. The aura faded as quickly as it came before his gaze went back to Trish, giving her a cold dead stare.
Trish's breathing got heavy as she had already used up nearly all of her energy to fight off the illusion. If she had known it wasn't the real Riley she was fighting she would have saved her last trick. Now she had to deal with him with next to nothing left. But she wouldn't just give up, she swore to fight until her last breath. It was the only way she could die with her honor still in tact. She held her lance in a defensive stance and waited for one of the three to move. The remaining four clones appeared beside her, ready to help her all or nothing push against them. They formed a formation that shuffled them around, leaving one far in the back and the other four staring down the three fighters.

Weaving in and out of the smoke, Kavra had transformed ‘The Smoker’s Pipe’, two large blades protruding from each end of the pole-staff. Shaped like the Nobody emblem, the blades were crafted from the same translucent orichalcum that the rest of the weapon was made from, though they were now tainted with a dark red. Whoosh! Whiff! Cornered by fire and surrounded by his smoke, Kavra was truthfully having an easier time than he thought he would against Trish’s clones. That was until something suddenly happened around them in the battlefield, anyway. As parts of Alice’s illusion began to fade away, breaking parts of reality aside, the clones withdrew from their battle, returning to the side of the original Trish.
Tch—just when I had ‘em on the ropes, too. Sighing as his targets fled from him, Riley’s healing ability washed over Kavra, restoring him and his scorched up body. Reverting from his ‘true’ form, causing the smoke to disappear from the battlefield, Kavra casually walked up to where Alice and Riley had already worked on surrounding the real Trish—who definitely looked worse for wear. Seems like it’s finally all windin’ down. Despite the four clones that surrounded Trish—she was alone. All of her allies had been defeated, her world destroyed. Why won’t she just give up? It coulda been way quicker and less messy, that way. Were all people with hearts so arrogant? Had he been that way?
Spinning the now bladed staff that he wielded, the Nobody glanced between Riley and Alice—it seemed like everyone was holding their breath, waiting for something to happen. Trish went on the defensive, taking a stance with her clones and waiting for them to make the first move. ”C’mon—let’s get this over with.” He wanted a cigarette. Aiming his weapon at the area the Trish’s all stood in, his voice draped with boredom and impatience. ”Magnera.” A sudden vortex would emerge above all of the Trish’s, a magnetic force beginning to swirl and draw in anything nearby. While the spell would hopefully begin pulling the original and their clones to the spell-point, Kavra shot Riley a look.
”You wanna finish her off or what? You’ve had your fun.” He had seen Riley’s multiple displays of power—it was obvious to the Nobody that similar to when they had first met, the demon was holding back. No different from a cat playing with its food… That was all well and good, since Kavra knew what he had signed up for in exchange for a heart. He didn't care, he’d play along. The fact Riley was toying with this woman's heart and relishing the moment wasn't what was bothering him now. Stop making me work so much! Haven't you heard of cigarette breaks?!

Riley sighed as Kavra urged him to finish off Trish already. True he was dragging thing out with how he was fighting, but he did want to see what Alice had learned while she was back in her time period. Besides he did want to make each person suffer as much as possible, at least until his anger could no longer allow it. "Fine I guess I can end her now," he said summoning his scythe again. "Besides, I am getting sick of her resolve."
Riley slowly walked over to Trish who was trapped in the Magnera along with her remaining clones. Riley's eyes grew cold as he grabbed the real Trish by her neck, his talons digging deep into her poking holes that started bleeding badly. Trish let out one last moan of pain as Riley ran his scythe through her, her body and soul exploding violently, the clones soon followed suit. Riley's scythe glowed with the new souls added from his killing spree in this world. He held it close to him as his eyes started glowing evilly. Despite it being one of his newer weapons he felt a strong special connection to it, along with his older ones. With it he felt closer to his true self, closer to finally getting all the power he's longed for all his life.
Riley's train of thought was cut short as he felt water be sprayed onto his face. He shook his head as his eyes turned back to normal. He then turned to find his girlfriend Serena with her spray bottle. "Bad Riley no unsupervised genocides" She sprayed him a few more times.
Riley wiped the water off his face. "SERENA?!"
"Is this what you've been doing while you were gone this week?"
"How did you know I was gone a week?"
Serena reached into her corset and pulled out a magazine covered in plastic. The cover had several Elven women playing volleyball in various revealing swinsuits. "Your newest copy of 'Elven Milfs' was still in the plastic," she said with a smirk.
"G-Give me that!" Riley's face turned red as he took the magazine from her. His bag appeared on his waist before he put it inside, but not before taking another look at the cover.
Serena pulled out a collar with a chain on it before putting it on Riley and drag him away. "Don't think you'll be getting off easy this time," She said trying not to smile. "And you can bet we'll be making up for lost time!"
"Hey!" Riley tried resisting. "Not in front of Alice!"
Serena ignored his protests and kept dragging him along. "Don't think I forgot that you promised tomorrow is date night, and that you promised to take Alice to the carnival the next time you saw her." Serena opened up a chaotic gateway and tossed Riley into it before dusting her hands off. She did wonder where he got his new outfit from, and why his aura felt so different from a few days ago, but she would deal with all that at home.
Alice was too busy laughing and trying not to fall over. That was until she too felt water hit her face due to Serena starting to spray her too. "You too missy or it's back to your time period."
"Okay okay I'm going I'm going! Jeez." Alice slowly went into the gateway.
Serena watched her go in before turning to Kavra. "I'm guessing you're one of Riley's friends," She pointed into the gateway. "You too, march!"

Finally. As Riley finished Trish off with his talons and scythe, Kavra released his Magnera spell and dismissed The Smoker’s Pipe before reaching into his jacket pocket for his pack of cigs. Lighting one and inhaling deeply, the Nobody was finally granted his momentary falsehood. ”SERENA?!” Riley’s sudden shout caused Kavra’s eyes to spring open. Glancing over to where Trish had once just stood, the Nobody raised an eyebrow at the sudden newcomer. Serena? A stupidly tall woman was standing beside Riley, wielding a spray bottle and some sort of beach magazine.
As the crimson-haired woman began to torment the scythe-wielding demon Kavra had been accompanying, the Nobody really wondered why those with hearts seemed so—bizarre. No way was I like that… Not all of his memories were clear—but he knew enough about himself. Inhaling deeply from the cigarette between his lips, the Nobody watched with a bored expression at the exchange before him. This ‘Riley’ character only got more and more complicated in his opinion. Kavra stood as a silent smoking observer until Serena summoned a large red portal and threw Riley in. Alice was soon to follow soon, getting sprayed by the water bottle as well.
”H-hey!” Taking a step forward, cigarette still hanging from his lips, the Nobody reached forward. Could a Nobody feel panic? ”What d’you think you’re doing?! That guy owes me a heart!” His fingers twitched for a moment, though his cigarette kept him from drawing his weapon. ”I’m guessing you’re one of Riley’s friends,” Pointing at the large gate, she barked out: ”You too, march!” Kavra’s whole body stiffened for a moment, an indignant look coming across his face as he inhaled. Another personality ‘tick’. He couldn’t feel indignant, or prideful, or anything. That’s why he needed a heart.
”Sigh...just when I was gettin' close.” Feigning annoyance (since, y'know), Kavra crossed his arms as he inhaled again. Tilting his head a bit, the Nobody's glazed eyes shifted between Serena and the looming red portal. Pointing lazily between the two, his voice remained skeptical. "Serena, huh? I don't know what your deal is—but you just got in the way of a really important opportunity for me." He wasn't stupid. Clearly if this woman was able to reign in a demon like Riley and a sociopath like that little girl, she wasn't anyone he should take lightly. That being said—there was something just so frustrating about getting so close, only to be barred by a red-head with a spray bottle. A sour smile curled on Kavra's lips as he eyed her. It had almost felt so real—
"Tch—you almost made me feel human." Raising his hands in defeat, the Nobody finished his cigarette before throwing the butt on the ground and walking past Serena towards the chaotic gate, wondering where he was being sent to this time. He glanced over his shoulder to eye the red-headed obstacle. "I won't forgive you for that." Walking through the portal, Kavra only had bitter thoughts in his mind. This better be the best f*&^ing heart in the galaxy.

Serena had to wonder just how her boyfriend owed someone a heart, or how any of this even started. Knowing him it was probably better if she didn't know. Still it wasn't going to stop her from holding it over him and use it to make him squirm. Besides she had all the time she need to pry the answers out of him if she really needed to. She watched Kavra go into the gateway before she looked back over the village. Whatever set Riley off was enough to make him do all this, she at least had to find out what that was all about. "Something tells me this is going to be a long day."
She looked over the damage that was done and sighed. "He's going to be in so much pain when we get alone time..." She rubbed the side of her face. Maybe it was time to use the shock collar on him again, it always helped whenever he misbehaved. Sometimes a spray bottle just even enough to tame him. She shook her head and decided it was best to leave before she somehow ended up getting blamed for all this. She went through the gateway and it closed behind her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some time after everyone had left the ruined village a time gateway opened and a cloaked teenage boy walked through it. With it slowly closing behind him he surveyed the area. He slowly pulled down his hood revealing that he looked very similar to Riley, only that both his eyes were red and his hair was green. He slowly started walking around the scorched village, looking almost nothing like it did a few hours ago. In fact, if he didn't already know about some of what happened here he would have next to no idea that people even used to live here.
He stopped when he found a single yellow flower that survived the chaos. The grass next to it was mostly gone due to Alice's fire illusion, but the lone flower stood next to the burned rubble of what used to be a house. The boy wished he could have been here just a bit earlier, to really see Riley in action. He cared about Alice just a bit less due to her connection to him, but anyone would do other than the people he was forced to live with. For as long as he could remember he resented the woman he was forced to call mother, despite her desperate attempts to try to change him he just couldn't stand her existence. Every day for the past few years he thought about how much better his life would be if he lived with his father.
"You’ve seen the destruction he’s caused, yet you still obsess over him.” A cloaked man said.
The boy rolled his eyes. He was used to him trying to ward off his obsession. It was starting to get old. "I've grown tired of your lectures," he knelt down and picked the flower studying it. His finger tips slowly sparked with magma. "You finally let me see what he's like, yet I'm not allowed to talk to him face to face." The flower quickly lit on fire before quickly burning to ash blowing away in the wind. "So much for your promise," the boy got back up and turned to face the man. "I demand to see more, I want to see what he's like firsthand with my own eyes. That means I get to at least see him in action got it!?"
The man sighed. He knew from experience that arguing with him would only make him worse in the long run. "Very well," The man opened a time portal before he and the boy went through it, with it slowly closing behind them.
