Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

Stratos had continued being chased by that god damn behemoth, who wanted nothing more than to just murder him where he stood. Or, rather, fling his body across the entire hall of records in a rather messy manner. Either way, he was not willing to let this thing catch up to him and destroy him. As such, Stratos continued to run away from the large creature, and made sure to keep as much distance from it as possible. The thing then jumped into the air and tried to crash down on him once more, only for Stratos to start dodge rolling out of the way and only to get knocked away from the shockwave of the attack. Damn he was hating that attack. The behemoth then continued to go out and tried to kill him by doing some sort of charge attack with its horn. As light seemed to accumulate around the horn of this creature, Stratos could only watch as they gathered energy was released in some sort of oddly magical attack. Wait, these things could also use magic? Well damn was there anything they couldn't do? It was then that it released an onslaught of magical orbs that flew straight at Stratos, who could do nothing but stand there and ready his guard against the attack.

Having been pushed around a bit by the magical attack, Stratos stood his ground as the behemoth walked over to kick him while he was in mid guard. What a cheap ******* this massive heartless was turning out to be. As the young keyblade wielder skid across the ground, he saw the behemoth kick at the ground quite like a bull would, until it started a full on charge to kill the young wielder. He was ready for this,however, as he had managed to regain his posture after getting hit back by such a strong ass attack. The young wielder quickly preformed a high jump to to go over the charging heartless, and then hit it a few times on the horn with his keyblade until it had managed to just run right past him. As he landed he saw the heartless quickly jump into the air and turn, in the air, and land having turned a perfect one hundred eighty degrees. What a terrifying foe he was facing down. Stratos started to run away from the beast once more, with it in hot pursuit of him, until it was intercepted by Karina's poison edge command hitting it square in the head.

She then told him about how they should probably stop just annoying the behemoth, and actually start on their job of killing it. Now that was an idea he could get behind. This heartless had basically become his mortal enemy, given the amount of times it had just waddled up to him and kicked him. Like, what heartless even does something like that? After calling him kid, she told him that she'd take the aggro for now, and that he had to go and attack now. "Aye aye, ma'am." He gave a quick salute to Karina as the behemoth started to chase after her. Stratos had regained enough MP from that last combo that he was able to go in and actually do some damage. Channeling his MP into a magical strike, the tip of his keyblade ignited as he launched a fireball from it. With the ball homing in on to the horn of the behemoth, it quickly exploded as it made contact, causing the behemoth to turn around and look at who had just attacked him. Sighing Stratos said, "guess it's time for another run," as he began to run away from the now rampaging behemoth.

Others began to arrive and they were doing their best to fight the heartless that were approaching and wandering about. Looking around, Ananta could see all of the wielders, ones she had been partied with and others she had not, were fighting together to try and protect this place. This place they had only just arrived a few hours ago. Ananta shook her head. 'Of course we're going to protect this place. We're keyblade wielders, it's what we do, right?' she said, chuckling. Then she remembered Nequa. She too was a keyblade wielder, but instead of fighting for the light, she was tempted by darkness and instead fought against the light. This confused Ananta, making her stop and think of a reason. 'What's so great about the darkness? All you do is fight the darkness so it doesn't swallow you completely and then some day, you die and the darkness swallows you up again.' she thought, looking at a Hook Bat floating nearby. 'And then, when you lose yourself, you turn into one of these dark things. Your dark heart suddenly is engulfed and you lose yourself, becoming one of these pitiful monsters with no purpose.' Ananta stepped towards a group of Rapid Thrusters and Hook Bats mingling together.

She hooked her keyblade onto one of the Hook Bats and hopped up, swinging the heartless about like the one earlier, destroying a few of the smaller heartless. As their hearts floated away, Ananta was reminded of what she wanted to tell everyone else. 'That's right, I needed to tell everyone what I saw. But then again, what if they doubt me? What if none of them believe me? I'd just be sitting here blabbing on about something and they'd call me crazy. Then, they'd probably not want to talk to me anymore. I'd be stuck, knowing I saw something and nobody would believe me. That would suck.' she kept thinking, dodging attacks from countless heartless as she looked at them, trying to determine her next target. She had to think carefully. She could continue to fight the smaller heartless and eventually they'd only have the bigger ones left. It's sound advice, considering the smaller ones may be weak, but in great numbers they can deal some massive damage if you aren't careful. "Well, I already killed about 11 small heartless, so targeting a couple of the bigger ones wouldn't be so bad, right?" she shrugged.

Just as she finished that sentence, two Air Pirates latched onto her arms and began to carry Ananta into the air. "Hey, put me down!" she called out, struggling in their grip. As they lifted her up, Ananta could tell they were either going to kidnap her and kill her someplace else, or they were going to drop her. Either way, she was going to get hurt. As they slowed down, Ananta saw they were pretty high up, about eye level with a Behemoth, and she looked at the two heartless. In her right hand, ice began to swirl in her hand as she touched the Air Pirate latched onto her right arm. The cold spell washed over it and froze the heartless, plummeting down to the ground below. The other heartless couldn't keep the two bodies up and so it fell with them. When they hit the ground, the ice shattered off the other and Ananta grunted once she hit the ground. Instead of dwelling on the pain, she hopped back up and finished off the previously frozen Air Pirate. It disappeared soon after, it's heart floating away. Ananta turned towards the other and watched as it tried to grab her arm again. This time, she was ready and easily dodged the attack. Her keyblade smacked the heartless' head and it soon suffered the same fate as it's friend had suffered.

Steel was not too focused on the behemoth he was pummeling to notice a hookbat attempting to sneak up on him. As it inched closer he flipped his umbrella over and used the hook on the handle to grab the heartless' own. He swung it about in wide arcs, effectively blocking incoming attacks and knocking out an another Hookbat and a Rapid Thruster. As the Heartless cried out for dear life, it found it's face meeting the Behemoths' horn as it promptly exploded into black dust. He briefly considered the hearts left behind as three out of four creatures were defeated.

Meanwhile, things were looking up for the West end: Rain had finally joined the fight and now all four of them were finally taking an active role in the conflict around them. The positive progress on that front was balanced with the negative that pretty much no one had responded to a single word he said. He gave an exasperated sigh: He really didn't like being ignored all the time, but he supposed it was inevitable. Although, he honestly wouldn't mind so much if it weren't for the fact that he had been trying so much harder than normal.

Putting that aside, he grabbed onto the Behemoth's horn with a single hand, jumped up with his feet above the rest of him, and swung forward as he slashed the horn with his umbrella. He landed in front of the Behemoth as it came crashing to the ground. He turned to strike the Behemoth only to be punched in the face by a charging Air Pirate. Steel froze for a moment. Unfortunately for the instinctual creature, it was not intelligent enough to register that punching MC's of any kind (In this case a keyblade wielder) in the face via ambush was not a very smart thing to do. As the Air Pirate came around for another attack, Steel deflected the blow and stunned it for a brief moment. Within an instant, his keyblade vanished as he scratched across the creatures torso with his left arm before using his right to grab it by the throat. He ran forward and impaled the Air Pirate on the Behemoth's horn. He let go of the creature and as it was somehow still alive, spun around re-summoning his umbrella and slashing across the Heartless' neck.

After having basically mauled through Karina, Stratos seemed to have drawn the aggro at the right time. However, the aggro was now on him and so he had to get his ass away from this thing before it tore him apart. The thing continued to charge at him, with even more anger and vehemence than it had prior. Apparently it liked the two of them actually trying to kill it less than them just swatting at it every now and then. Stratos continued running the hell away from the thing as it started to bull charge him, only for the beast to easily catch up with him. When the behemoth had caught up with him, it stopped right near him so that it would skid across the ground and crash into the young keyblade wielder. Quickly putting up his keyblade to guard against the impending attack, the behemoth crashed into the blade, sending Stratos flying back anyway. Staying his ground, the behemoth was already in hot pursuit of him once more, almost immediately being on top of him as Stratos recovered from the attack. The heartless then immediately bucked at him, almost as if it were doing some kind of uppercut with its face, and hit Stratos, sending him directly into the air.

He knew exactly where this was going, and wasn't about to let himself get smacked around by the next attack. Though he was essentially floating in air at this point, he still was able to position his keyblade properly to his side. As the behemoth jumped into the air end the young wielder, it was as if time started to slow down. With cherry blossoms falling from the sky, Stratos closed his eyes. It was at that moment, as the behemoth reached the apex of its jump and started bringing its two bull horns down to smash Stratos, that the command had happened. Reopening his eyes, it was in an instant that had Stratos had seemingly warped from his helpless position in the air to rather stable one on the ground. Having moved away with Zantetsuken,the behemoth's face smashing missed, and the large heartless then landed on the ground. As if angered by that dodge, it let out quite the bestial roar, and began to kick against the ground, ready to go in for another charge. Stratos knew that he couldn't do something like that again in a matter of seconds, so he basically was screwed at this point if that behemoth did that again.

As it began charging at Stratos, he was ready to run away, only for the thing to completely stop moving. Then, it started to float into the air, and he realized the cause of this was Karina using magic of her own on it. Catching his breath a bit as he let loose her deadly combo on the behemoth, it was soon aggroed onto her, giving him a chance to go on the offensive once more. Though, do to not having very much MP at the moment, the only thing Stratos could do was run at the heartless that was now trying to kill Karina. He quickly hi jumped onto its back,, with it being none the wiser, and unleashed a full four hit combo against its horn. The behemoth then tried to shake him off, only for that make Stratos go airborne, and then allowed to unleash an air combo against the horn. The moment he finished the combo, he then chained in Vorpal Blitz, and then chained in another air combo onto the horn, only to end the combo with creating a chunk of ice at the at the end of his keyblade, and smashing it into the foes horn. "Alright, you're up next!" Stratos called out to Karina as he began to run away from the behemoth who's anger was now directed at him.

Stratos now had the behemoths attention and was running for dear life from the creature...again. He briefly wondered how great his cardio was going to be after this fight, and just how much more punishment this behemoth was going to take before it actually went down. It certainly was a hearty creature, but with the both of the keyblade wielders having seemingly infinite stamina, it was really just a matter of just being completely unrelenting in their attacks. Regardless, the behemoth was still trying to be its usual bull self in its attempts to kill Stratos, and the young keyblade wielder was doing his usual thing of not dying. Guarding against the big lugs foot that came in at a kick to him, Stratos continued to skid across the ground, only to see the thing start to charge up that magic attack from its horn again. Well, this was certainly going to be bad. However, the attack was soon interrupted by Karina coming in and trying to attack it. However, everything looked not as good again, when the behemoth was about to eat her. Stratos himself couldn't do anything to protect her against the large ass heartless's mouth, and simply watched as it nearly chomped her. Nearly.

Thankfully some giant bird, the same one that had come in and saved the group from Mim's onslaught in Camelot, flew in and snatched her away from the Behemoth's mouth. Breathing a sigh of relief, he then heard Karina's quick order to only travel in a straight line, or else she would be crushed. Stratos gave a quick salute before turning his keyblade into a keyglider, because he somewhat forgot that he could even do that in the first place, and got on. The keyglider provided a great boost in speed as Stratos made his completely linear escape from the large ass creature. He looked back to see Karina unleash another attack, however the behemoth still only seemed interested in killing, or even just kicking, Stratos away at the moment. As such, Stratos had to continue flying away from the thing, lest it kill him. As he continued to fly away, he realized that this was much easier way to avoid the behemoth's pursuit and quickly looked back to his pursuer to see that it was attacked once again by quick improvisation involving key chains. With the large tether having pulled the behemoth's leg out from under him, the monster quickly shifted its focus to the girl who was now using her sweater as if she were a matador.

With this, was now Stratos's turn to injure the large behemoth, and so he quickly did a one eighty on his board shaped keyglider. Firing off at full speed, he quickly launched himself over in the direction of the behemoth. Flying on a course as if he were about to crash with the behemoths horn, he quickly started spinning, and jumped off the keyglider. This made the keyglider itself turn into a strike raid type attack as it rammed against the behemoth's horn. Still spinning himself, Stratos was soon above the Behemoth's horn, and then instantly summoned his keyblade back to his hand. Within another quick instant, cherry blossoms started falling from the sky, as Stratos disappeared from his spinning position in the air to a standing one on the ground, having slashed at the behemoth's horn during the entire process, back flipping with his hi jump, Stratos then launched off a fire spell from his keyblade while instantly shifting his blade back into a glider. When the fireball had connected and exploded against the horn of the heartless, Stratos then dove on the keyglider, smashing against the horn before flying away from the heartless and floating above it saying, "here kitty kitty," to it in order to taunt it into attacking him. Once the aggro drew to him, Stratos started flying away on his glider with the behemoth in hot pursuit.

The amazing and unexpected flight of the Behemoth was coming to an end and Kel was right under where one of its hooves were going to land and what was he doing to prevent being flattened into a pancake. Nothing. The sheer disbelief of what he’d just witness had him frozen right where he stood. Time seemed to stretch longer as the behemoth continued it’s decent. Even though Kel still hadn’t moved an inch, that didn’t stop his brain and his inner less apathetic selves from trying to get his body to move.

“Move you idiot! Are you trying to get squashed?” Everything that they said was along those lines, but it made nary of a difference. Kel’s body, more importantly his legs, seemed to be disconnected from his brain. Indeed things started to look grim for him. Least till a ray of hope followed by an overabundance of cherry blossoms appeared before him. The cherry blossoms had succeeded in snapping Kel out of the disbelief induced trance he was in just in time to see just how close he was to being flattened. To help put it into perspective, the very tip of his hair was barely touching the foot of the Behemoth. It was then that he noticed why the foot hadn’t squished him yet. Beuce, with assistance from the purple cat that he vaguely remembered seeing, had single handedly stopped the behemoth’s foot, a feat that neither of them had the defense to. If strength was needed then it would be a lot easier to gauge his chances off of whether or not Karina got crushed if she tried something like that.

Anyway Beuce then proceeded to use a barrier surge attack on the heartless before motioning for Kel to strike. He then took a moment to crack knuckles before summoning his keyblade. Then he took a position similar to form a samurai took before performing their signature quick draw slash (don’t quote me on the name) and closed his eyes. In addition to the standard Zantetsuken cherry blossom, snow seemed to fall from the sky out of nowhere. Seeing as how there wasn’t any yukionna’s around, especially not a purple haired one, maybe the power of scenery/dramatic effect of Zantetsuken had summoned the snow from the very same place that the cherry blossoms seemed to fall. That or there was a heartless with dandruff issues standing above them. Whatever the reason was, there was snow and cherry blossoms falling from the sky.

As the Behemoth continued to stumble from Beuce’s attacks, Kel waited for the right moment to strike, imitating a blind samurai, by waiting till it lowered its guard. Then the Behemoth managed to stabilize slightly on its feet, but overall it was still stumbling to actually move. This was probably as good as any chance that he was going to get and he took it. In the blink of an eye Kel vanished and reappeared on the other side of the Behemoth with his keyblade out in from of him. At first it seemed like his attack had done nothing but move him on the other side of the heartless, but at the moment when Kel had his keyblade vanish in the usual light that it appeared in, the behemoth roared out in pain as a visible slash across its side could be seen. Unfortunately that wasn’t enough to actually end the massive heartless, but it did damage it which was good enough for him. Next Kel quickly cast fira towards the heartless, hitting where it had just been injured. Of course this would sit well with the behemoth that had trouble dealing with just one wielder, now there were two of them for it to face, both of which ready to face it.

In the middle of the noise of everything going on, Raisor began to think about what they were going to do after the battle was over. Before, they had really just followed whatever worlds came in front of them, and traveled to whichever they wanted. Soon as they finish this though, was it really just going to go back to that, or would they finally be able to figure out how to stop their enemies? He wasn't sure what to expect anymore, especially since apparently they can get in to one of the safest worlds of all with no trouble.

Whether he could do anything about it or not, it wasn't something to worry about too much, considering the circumstances. He figured he'd look around for some simple enemies to take out, since he was getting tired. If he could take out some of the weaker ones, maybe he'd be able to get his body moving against without much trouble. And as if listening to his thoughts, some Soldiers and Shadows came before him. The good thing was, he really didn't have to look far to take out these guys. In total there were 2 soldiers and 12 shadows. It was a fair amount in sheer number, but since they were some of the weakest heartless out there, it's wasn't going to be anything he couldn't handle.

He started off with sitting down. Normally he would take a stance, but his legs were getting tired. Besides, he'd always wanted to try the whole person-sitting-down-and-messing-with-their-opponent thing. It would never work in real life against a keyblader, or perhaps any real person, but since these were simple heartless that had basic movements, he wanted to have a little fun. Plus, his legs were getting tired, and he didn't feel like standing. Who knows, maybe sitting down also made him a smaller target for the other heartless.

After sitting down, some of the shadows walked toward him, or skipped, or whatever they really did when they moved. As they came close and leaped, he swung his sword in the air at them and took out 3 of them. They vanished in a cloud and left no trace behind. As they did, one of the Soldier made a move and jumped at him with its claws. His jabbed his keyblade out with his full strength, knocking the thing right in what would be a person's gut, and cause it to vanish as well. He certainly was killing two birds with one stone: sitting down and resting and taking out heartless at the same time.

He heard a bunch of the other Shadows move around behind him and he turned his head. Some jumped at him and others vanished into the ground. He sighed as he duck down, letting them pass right over his head and fall down in a comedic fashion. As they did, he used his fire spell to take them out from a distance. With that, 4 more got taken down, leaving only 5 more to go. As luck would have it, 3 more popped out from in front of him, about 2 inches from where he was sitting. Though, Raisor didn't think they thought about where they appeared, because his keyblade was pointed right at them as well. A second paused while a silence past by, almost like something in a tv show, and he blast them with more fireballs.

With 10 of the Shadows and a Soldier gone, that just left three left to deal with. When looked around and tried to find the last Soldier, but not finding it, he quickly looked up. Choosing right, he noticed the last soldier falling toward him. He lifted his keyblade horizontal to the Soldier and as it fell, he blocked it with his keyblade. Using his arms, he swung the keyblade, using the tip as a fulcrum and dragging the heartless toward the ground, slamming it down and defeating it. With that only 2 more shadows remained. He figured it's be best to just get up at them, but considering they were shadows, they just went at him like mindless beasts. He really didn't understand why they did that, but as they did, he tossed his keyblade at one, knocking it down. He brought his keyblade back to his hand and took out the other that got closer. Feeling like sitting down a little more, he launched one last fire attack at the heartless causing it to leave like the rest.

At the very least, he managed to beat them all while sitting down, but now he really didn't want to get back. In fact, he wasn't sure if he could get back up on his legs even if he wanted to. He guessed that his energy was weaker than he thought, and he wondered what he was going to do.

Stratos was above the large behemoth, simply sitting on his keyglider, hovering above the heartless. He continued taunting the heartless, which he felt couldn't really touch him no matter what it did. Obviously, it couldn't charge him because he was above it. The same also applied to its most terrifying move, the kick. Even when it hopped into the air, Stratos quickly fired up his thrust on the keyglider, sending him flying away from the heartless. It would keep missing, leap after leap, landing hard onto the ground. Feeling completely safe for a moment, Stratos was then completely caught of guard by the behemoth doing another sort of magic attack. He roared into the air, firing off multiple lightning strikes that fired every which way, and they seemed to be somewhat focused on Stratos. Sure, there were lightning bolts that were pretty stray and didn't hit anything. Then there were the few that sort of seemed to hate the boy. The old saying that lightning never struck twice in the same place. Well that was certainly a lie. Having gotten struck by two bolts, and having his keyglider having been struck once, Stratos quickly lost his balance, and fell off the glider.

Crashing onto the ground, Stratos quickly picked himself back up, coughing in pain, as he saw the behemoth start to finally charge at him once more. Stratos had no choice but to run his ass away from the heartless, and started to go as fast as he physically could. This was still not enough to evade the behemoth, was hot on his tail. However, once it had finally caught up, Stratos quickly dodge rolled backward, through the legs of the heartless, evading the charge. Despite this, the behemoth seemed to immediately change its direction once more, turning while rushing him, and oh so ready to kill him. Thinking fast, Stratos quickly summoned his keyblade and turned it back into the keyglider he had been using much better than usual. Starting to fly away, he couldn't risk pulling up at the cost of speed, as the behemoth wasn't slow enough for him to do so. However, it seemed to try and speed itself up by doing some sort of pseudo hop, to make it bound across the ground rather than run. It seemed to catch up to the young wielder, bucking at him once it had. The attack just barely missed, though it still grazed the glider making Stratos glide out of control and towards the rather spaced out looking Karina.

Thankfully, she managed to regain her senses as the behemoth started approaching her, and started to attack it. However, there was something weird about how she was fighting. It seemed to be filled with way less vigor and enthusiasm as before. He wondered if this lagging state was due to exhaustion, though due to that battle cry she just let out, there was no way that could be the case. Seeing his opportunity open to attack the giant heartless, Stratos thought fast and realized that he had to get the behemoth away from Karina as fast as possible. In her current state, she probably wouldn't be able to last as long as before, and so he shot forward on his glider. Doing the same strike raid type thing he had done before, Stratos ended up landing on the behemoths back after jumping off the glider, and resummoned his keyblade. He then quickly went to attacking the horn of the behemoth with a ground combo, only to then follow it up with an air combo. After unleashing the Vorpal Blitz skill command, Stratos then realized the behemoth wasn't aggroed enough onto him. And so he did something really dumb. He grabbed onto the horn of the behemoth, sort of hugging it as to not fall off, and started punching it in an attempt to get it off his ally's back. Getting annoyed with his constant attacks, the heartless soon bucked enough that Stratos was sent flying off of it, and onto the ground. Okay, that one hurt. Getting up and coughing a bit, he saw the truly pissed heartless get ready to come in and kill him now.

“What is up with all of you Heartless and stopping me?” She said with a huff. When she looked up she noticed Beuce had went to aid Kel. They could handle the Behmoth while she took down a few more of these heartless. While they focused on the bigger, and evidently stronger of this large mass. She would take down the others who were annoying, especially those that flew. They were like mosquitos that did nothing but fly around, biting and zipping away. Except these “bites” hurt more, especially when they were diveing toward you. Anora dodged the dive, the heartless catching itself before it hit the floor, skidding toward her, the glider unable to control it’s path until Anora used her keyblade to slice it’s head off. Beheading! So much fun. Especially when they were these annoying pest.

Looking over Anora noticed another female fighting the other heartless, along with another survellence bot who was coming down, suicide bomber style! It didn’t llok too pleased with the girl, maybe because she had just taken down a few of its friends. Anora ran, pushing the female to the ground as the heartless crashed into the ground, flipping and rolling, crashing into a couple soliders like they were pins at a bowling alley…whatever that was. Looking to the girl, Anora took her hand, helping her up. “That would’ve made a nasty mess.” She told the girl she recognized as Luna. Anora turned her attention to the angry soldier heartless and the stumbling glider before it took the air still slying to the side as it seemed it’s wings were damaged from the crash and stop. “How about we take down these idiots before helping the boys out with that Behemoth.” She suggested, not really much of a choice seeing as they were already charging to ward them. She noticed a few spell Heartless following the group of heartless that were coming their way.

Twisting her keyblade, gaining a further grip as her stance changed, knees bent a bit more than usual and her feet ready for a take off. Dashing toward the group she jumped and took down the bot, it fell to the ground landing on a soldier before the heart left. Falling back to the ground she took down the fumbling soldier whose metal clinked and clanked as it tried to get up. But Anora gaved it no chance as she fell down onto the the heartless, piercing it at it’s emblem. As it disappeared, the heart floating like all the others, she was tackle. “Guh!” She struggled, tightening her core and flipping the soldier off of her and knocking it into a low gliding Blue Rhapsody. The two creatures bumped and flipped against each other, rolling and hitting the wall. “Got cha’.” She teased, lifting her keyblade, the point emtting the same bright firey light, the feeling heating her body. “Fire.” She summoned and a fire ball shot from her keyblade, hitting the blue rhapsody and soldier, frying the squirming darkness, lighting them.

“Let the fire burn the darkness in you.” She smirked, twisting her keyblade up, blowing the tip of emitting smoke. “And that’s why you’re not supposed to play with fire.” Turning she returned to the other’s.

Stretching his arms, Raisor looked around at how they were doing with the heartless on the South side of the Hall of Records. For the most part, it looks like it was diminishing fairly quickly; at least, if you compared it to a few minutes ago when there was a wave of heartless covering every inch of the ground. He knew they still had a lot of bigger ones to take care of, and even the five Behemoths, but other than that, it didn't seem like it was so bad. In fact, he was practically able to make out every heartless now and where they were since there weren't so many around compared to before. He could even make out the others fighting, sitting down though he was. He grabbed his legs and began to stretch them out too. He figured that while nothing was bothering him, he'd take the time to stretch out and make sure he didn't pull anything in the fight. In was always good to make sure you checked yourself before any big activity, though if anyone said if it were a good thing to do in the middle of a fight like this, they'd all be lying. In fact, he was basically trying to occupy himself till he was ready to get up again.

Before getting up, he wondered about where he was going to attack next. He saw some Morning stars crawling and spinning in a few areas, and obviously some Assault Riders and Defenders. Even the Bolt Tower stuck out like sore thumbs, though they were the second highest heartless that were there, right next to the Behemoths. Then he noticed some Crescendos bringing along a group of Black Fungus through the field. He didn't really feel like dealing with poison again, but it was better than dealing with some of the larger enemies. Not to say the Bolt Towers were difficult, but he really didn't want to deal with electroshock therapy at the moment either.

He got up and stretched his arms and back a little more. Feeling a bit more refreshed from his little rest, he ran toward the little group of enemies that were walking around. In total there were about 3 Crescendos and 5 Black Fungus. He really didn't want to deal with all of those, so he figured it'd be best to just drop the number down to one each. With that in mind, he ran at top speed, all the way up to one of the Black Fungus before any of them could notice him. He brought his leg back and, with all of his strength, kicked the Black Fungus across the field. Raisor figured that if he was looking for a job, maybe he'd go into some kind of sport. At that moment, the other heartless freaked and began to attack. Well, the Black Fungus began to spray poison while the Crescendos began honking. Thinking the Crescendos were more annoying, he kicked one away toward the east, and the other toward the south. When the last one was all alone, he knocked it up with his keyblade and cut it in the air, where it couldn't react. With that done, he still needed to get rid of three more Black Fungus.

Since the Fungus were pretty resilient, especially considering their tiny size, Raisor figured he'd just have to hold his breath and try to get rid of one and outrun the rest. At that point they all turned to stone, and Raisor began to hold his breath as long as he could. None of them could be damaged as stone, but they couldn't stay like it either. He went toward the Black Fungus that was in the back of the group, as he noticed it was the first time turn when he kicked the first Fungus, and just stood in front of it. Since it was a waiting game at that point, he had to make sure he lasted. After a few seconds, just as thought, the Fungus went back to normal, and he immediately took the chance to whail away a few combos on it, causing it to disappear. After doing so, he took the moment to run away from the others because they could catch him.

After getting far enough away, he let out his breath and breathed, "Bleh, I hate those things. I don't enjoy holding my breath to the point of getting dizzy."

Glen had been racing towards the behemoth, he had every intention to destroy it, but he had stumbled across a roadblock along the way. Skidding to a stop, he let out a huge sigh as a large body and three shadows intercepted him, getting in his path and ultimately halting any progress he could make on the behemoth. He wasn't too dissappointed, still being able to kill some more of the heartless and all, but he still kept an eye on the behemoth for sure. He made a mental note to take care of that one later, in a dramatic and totally epic way.

But, before he could have that clash of epic proportions, he would have to deal with these..slightly less awesome heartless in front of him. "Four against one doesn't seem very fair for you lot. How about you go and get a couple of those behemoth things, maaaaaybe a few soldiers, and..oh I don't know, a couple of hundred darksides. Then it might be almost even" Glen said, cockiness in his voice evident. The man truly believed he could handle that many heartless. He was wrong, of course, but don't tell him that, he won't believe you.

The heartless didn't back off. Why would they? They were just animals, they didn't really think for themselves, and even if they did..they had an army just a little short of a thousand strong. Shaking his head in mock disappointment, Glen chuckled a little. "Well, I'll just have to finish the rest of your kind after you four drop dead here" he said simply. In the blink of an eye, Glen dashed forward, using his sliding dash ability, and performed one horizontal slash against one of the shadows, causing it to vanish into a cloud of black vapour. He wasn't done there though, not by a long shot, as he turned and struck another one. The latter didn't die, merely get knocked back, but the next two strikes from the young keyblade wielder were more than enough to finish it off.

Hopping back slightly, Glen took a quick glance around to make sure he wasn't about to be jumped on by any heartless while he wasn't watching, because that would be very embarassing. Thankfully, there were no Eon heartless around, so he was safe..or at least as safe as one could be in a huge war. Turning his attention back to the two remaining heartless before him, he pointed his keyblade at the shadow in front of him. "Fire" he said quietly as a huge, burning ball of flame was set on a collision course with the shadow heartless. The ball of fire caused a small explosion on impact, but the heartless before him remained due to the low magic stat of its caster. On the bright side, it was lit on fire from the attack. Glen shrugged his shoulders as he rolled his eyes a little. "Well, I guess this is as close as I'll get to killing Etrius for now..wherever he is" he said simply. Moments later, he was in front of the heartless, again through the use of sliding dash, and struck it once with his keyblade to finish it.

Three down, one to go. But it was the biggest of the bunch of them. In theory, that meant this one was the most threatening, or so Glen assumed. He believed that the heartless ate the hearts of people, and if that really were the case..then he was probably avenging a few hundred people at least by slaying the one before him. He could feel himself slowing down a little, so he quickly cast cure before beginning to get to work on the large body in front of him. He tossed his keyblade at it, aiming for the chest. Maybe it was secretly a pinata heartless, and he would get candy. He wouldn't find out from this attack though, given away as the attack failed to finish the enemy off. Jumping over to the creature, he then fired a point blank fira, but once more it wasn't enough. The fat ones were far tankier than the small fry, he came to realize. Not giving his opponent time to react, he dashed around the back of the large body and his keyblade became engulfed in fire. With a quick spin, Glen used the momentum to land a vicious blow to the heartless' back, causing it to vanish and release a single heart. "Only one? Damn, I hate being wrong" the keyblade warrior said simply, before breaking into a run to go after the behemoth he had targeted.

Stratos had to keep this behemoth off Karina's tail for awhile. Looking back at the girl, she seemed to be somewhat spacy, and not at all focused on their task of killing the behemoth at hand. If she didn't regain her composure soon, then Stratos would probably have to take the thing on by himself, which was not a pleasant thought. However, at the moment, he just had to believe that his comrade would pull through for him and get the aggro off onto herself, just like they had done before. The young keyblade wielder continued to fly away from it on his keyblade wielder, jetting off in a zig zag formation to completely distract the heartless, though it seemed to be doing little to the heartless after the first few times. Sure, it had tried to follow after him, but it soon wised up and decided that moving in a straight line was most likely a much faster means of catching up with his prey, than trying to follow it in a straight pattern. Due to this, Stratos was soon caught off guard by the behemoth closing in on him, and was left helpless as it had simply flung its body at him. Getting hit by the full force of the attack, Stratos was sent sailing across the hall, bouncing across the ground with only his Aero to provide him with some sort of minimal protection.

It was not looking good, not at all. He could barely stand back up, and by the time he did, the behemoth had started to charge straight at him. This was absolutely terrible. At this rate, there'd be nothing that Stratos would be able to do, and he'd just be flattened by the large ass heartless. But there was no way he could die here. Not while everyone else was fighting so hard to protect this place. Even if he was the weakest one there was absolutely no way he could just let himself die here. Pulling up his keyblade to guard against what could have been the final attack, he awaited it, just standing there. However, the attack never came. Instead, the behemoth had its attention drawn to a particular warrior girl who had been furiously attacking it. While Stratos thought it was a good thing that Karina had gotten her fight back in her, he soon realized that something was off. She didn't seem to be in a clear state of mind, and instead was fighting like a person with a death wish. Not to mention she looked as if she had been struggling with some sort of internal issue, as he saw tears streaked across her face. Then there was the issue of her telling him not to worry about her at all, and that he should just focus on attacking.

As he had gotten his second wind in this fight, Stratos came to one conclusion. Once they were done killing this god damn behemoth, he was going to cure the shit out of that woman. However, the behemoth seemed to be tearing her apart, almost as if she were a rag doll, and so he knew he had to go in and act fast. Getting on his keyglider, he launched forward and rather than attack it, he instead, used guard with his keyglider to intercept the attack that would have hit Karina. "You're damn right you aren't going to die here!" Stratos shouted out to her, in response to her declaration to the heartless. "We've still got a bet to finish with the others, and I sure as hell am not going to let any of my comrades go down in this fight. So come on! Let's go and kill this ass hat already!" Stratos then went in by using his keyglider to unleash a strike raid-esque attack on its horn, only to quickly warp it back to his hand as a keyblade. Skipping any sort of air combo he quickly cast fire and blizzard in rapid succession of each other, impacting across the heartless's horn, and making it drawn to Stratos. With its face being one of rage, it now decided to go over and kill Stratos once more, making their aggro strategy take effect once more.

Kel had done a great job at damaging the behemoth. It was a strong hit, and left a visible wound on the creature. "Good going Kel, keep up attacks like that and this thing will be steak in no time!" Although the downside to that was that the behemoth was now incredibly pissed off at the unfortunate blue haired wielder. It began charging up an energy orb similar to the one it had used earlier, only this time they were going to stop it before the fact. "Oh no you don't!" Leaping up onto the back of the enormous heartless, he tossed a strike raid which skidded up onto the horn, leaving a rather nasty wound in the back as well. It groaned at the pain, but kept charging up the energy orb. He grabbed the keyblade as it flew back on it's return path and fired off a few offensive spells at the horn. Finally, he reached melee range. Delivering one more combo to the horn was enough to throw it off and cause it to kneel over, granting easy access to its weakest point.

At this point, Beuce decided to take to the ground once more. He knew from past experience that being atop the behemoth would only result in him being thrown off, something he'd like to avoid. "Now's our chance!" Gathering together some of the power which had gathered once more in his heart, he empowered his keyblade and ran forward, charging the giant purple heartless. Slash after slash, cut after cut, he unleashed a long flurry of attacks onto the beast. His wrath of the warrior limit had taken a fairly large chunk out of the creature's stamina. Once again, it stood up in a sudden and almost jerking motion. The same as before, it let out a roar and bolts of nigh unavoidable energy shot down upon them. Only this time, they had the Cheshire cat. The light around Beuce and Kel condensed into a rather large teacup which absorbed them into it and raced around the area in seemingly random directions. The good thing about this is that they avoided the attack through it. The bad thing is that they would have to gain a bearing on their new location before the enemy did, or else they run the risk of losing advantage.

Beuce could feel the power of the cheshire cat waning. There was no way it would last the entire rest of the battle. In fact, if he had to guess, he'd say it would last about as long as this behemoth would. They'd both be out of the picture at the same time give or take. Regardless of if it expired a minute from now or years later, he needed to get back into focus. The behemoth seemed to have caught back onto his location, and didn't exactly plan on leaving him alone. A massive hoof struck Beuce in the chest and sent him flying back. Full deck didn't activate and save him that time, and he took the full brunt of the attack. Coughing and gasping to regain the air in his lungs, he looked over next to where he had landed and found he was next to Kel. "I'm gonna pay it back for that. I'm sure you've taken plenty of hits to do the same. What do you say we team rush him huh?" Rising back to his feet, he re-summoned his keyblade. "Guard while the other attacks, switch out, repeat. Just like in Camelot." He said with a smirk, referencing back to their fight with Gilgamesh where their team had exceptional teamwork which ended up leading to their victory. He and Kel in particular worked together well in a melee battle. If the two of them just worked together and attacked in tandem, the behemoth and any other heartless they encountered would prove no match for them.

Raisor had managed to get rid of his last enemies with no trouble, and he was really starting to think that the Behemoths weren't doing much. They were just standing still and doing absolutely nothing. They had how many heartless to deal with, and the five biggest problems, no pun intended, were just sort of standing around. The one that Cat attacked reacted, but that was only after she had gotten on top and dealt it a blow. Guess that meant they were in the clear having to worry too much about them for the time being. Of course, that didn't mean they should just ignore them either.

Raisor turned his head from looking at the Behemoths and watched as a Morning Star began to spin around the area, knocking more heartless out of the way. He had to admit, it was pretty funny just watching those things not care at all and send the other heartless packing. Too bad they couldn't use it as a way to get rid of other heartless. Then Raisor had an idea; maybe they could use the Morning Stars to get rid of other heartless. He had thrown the heartless to the ground earlier and gotten rid of it, why couldn't they do that against a group of other heartless and damage them?

Raisor decided to try out his idea and went for the Morning Star. He flung his keyblade at the creature as it spun round and round. As the keyblade hit the creature, it bounced off like a toothpick, and he recovered it. As he had hoped, the Morning star noticed him and began to spin right for him. He Knew he couldn't guard well against the spinning, so he waited for the heartless to get close and he jumped at the right moment, causing it to spin right beneath him and away. It came around for another attack, and he jumped up and out of the way yet again. The heartless seemed to get the message and stopped spinning, bringing out its tiny little heads and arms. Raisor knew he had to damage it a little before he could get rid of it, so he took to small opening to rush the heartless and knock it with his keyblade, sending it back a few inches. That certainly did the trick, as the heartless began to get ready to jump. As it came down towards him, he began to run. He was sure the heartless was going to follow him now, but he needed to be near another heartless for this to work. As he ran, he noticed a Large Body wandered, and he knocked it in the back, getting its attention. As he did, the Morning Star popped from behind him, jumping like usual. He blocked the attack just like before, and jumped up, grabbing the creature. The Large Body just stood, stunned for a second like it was confused, and Raisor threw the Heartless down. As it came down it bounced back up; Raisor figured that it didn't have as much damage as the last one. He bounced it a few more times, one, two, three, and finally the heartless vanished. At the same time, the Large Body was getting damaged itself, being sent back by Morning Star hitting it.

As Raisor got to the ground, he noticed the Large Body was starting to glow a strange purple color. He wasn't sure what that was all about, but figured it'd be best to try not to worry. He readied his stance, waiting for the heartless to make the first move.

Raisor stood straight, keeping his eyes on the Large Body in Front of him. He didn't want to make any sudden moves in case the heartless decided to attack in that instant. He couldn't just run straight at the enemy since the front was invulnerable to physical attacks, and he couldn't let off his Fire spell since it was only strong enough to deal with Shadows and some Soldiers. True, he'd been able to work out a way to use his Fire spell in conjunction with his own attacks, but that's just increasing his own physical skill with some magic, even if he hit the enemy in the front like that, it's probably just annoy it. He needed the Large Body to attack him first so he could figure out what to do. Plus there was that strange purple energy coming from the heartless. It seemed like something an animal would do if it was trying to fend off any predators while weak. Raisor didn't feel like taking any chances with this enemy at this time.

Eventually, with what felt like minutes, the Large Body began to move. First it began to lean back, throwing its arms backwards. Then it went forward, sending its whole front on the ground, sliding right for Raisor. It was shocking at first to be sure, seeing the Large Body slide on the ground like that. It was almost like it had fallen on ice and was just gliding right its target. Still, it gave Raisor the opening he needed to finish this enemy. As the creature got close, he knocked it with his keyblade, stopping the heartless. As it stopped, he knocked it on the head, sending it spinning around. Before anything else, he took the chance to hit it on the back as it was spinning. Since all of its back was facing upward, he could take the chance to combo it until it went down. He hit it a few times in the back and then brought his feet on the ground, one in front of the other. He faced his keyblade downward, and swung with all his strength, sending the heartless flying. As it flew, it vanished, releasing a heart.

"Guess it wasn't so tough to deal with after all." Raisor told himself, scratching an itch on his arm.

Dealing with the Large Body, Raisor needed something else to take down. Though it wasn't hard to find one, since out of nowhere, a blue shield popped from behind him. He quickly reacted by putting up his guard but it was too late. The Defender launched a fireball at him, and at such a close range, Raisor was hit almost instantly. He took the blow, managing to cover his face a least. As the explosion went, the Defender launched another attacking, sending the Shield at him. Raisor Got his keyblade up just in time to block the attack and get sent back a few feet. He had to admit, those things had crazy strength. He figured it'd be best to get rid of this one now while it was still there.

Since the Defender was slow, Raisor needed a way to block and attack and hit it. Then he thought about the fireball. If he could get it to send another at him, he could send it right back and knock the heartless back.
"Hey ugly, I guess your fire isn't so great after all." He taunted the creature, hoping to make it angry.
Apparently it worked, because the hearrtless sent another fire right at him. He whacked the fireball as it neared, and it flew straight back toward the owner. The Defender seemed shocked, but not as much as when it got hit. The whole thing's left side go send backward by the explosion, and Raisor took the chance to get in and do an attack on the creature. He managed to get a slice in on the chest and another on the arm, but just then the Defender regained its balance and spun around, knocked Raisor back. Raisor figured if he could just get in one more hit, the heartless would be down for the count.
