This whole scenario felt familiar, as if they had already gone through a 'whether or not to trust Aux' thing prior. His position since then hasn't change either considering the lack of anything that would change how he felt. Once again if this had been Nequa his stance would have easily been 'get rid of her' or something to that nature. Aux on the other hand, well the idea that Kel was in favor of was either letting him speak his peace. Ideally it was a good idea and what Kaida had added in was something to take into consideration. That was when Karina and some other guy had come rushing in to attack Aux and what happened next was simply Kaida stopped both of them, Beuce went to restrain Karina while Steel went to the other guy. Ananta on the other hand had made things worse in a way, which really had Kel glad that Beuce was keeping her at bay. "As good as it is to see you in good health, this isn't how I pictured things would go." Much more anger then what he had pictured. Kel sighed while Aux had spoken and Kel tried to think of a way to defuse this. "Look, I get that you want to make Aux pay for what he's done and it's probably well warranted in your case." At this point Kel had positioned himself to be between her and Aux, then continued. "But right now isn't the best of times for that and he seems more than willing to let you get some form of payback on him. So why not just calm down, let this mess get handled first and then you can punch him. Hell, you can punch me too if you really want to." Maybe the promise of being able to get back at Aux later would calm her down to the point where she wouldn't need to be restrained. The whole punching him was just something he threw in sweeten the deal kinda. Off the top of his head he couldn't think of any exact reason she'd have to do so, but she just might take him up on that offer. You never know.
Chrono saw the attack heading right at him and knew that he wouldn't be able to dodge it in time. As quickly as he could, he brought his hands up to protect as much of himself as he could. That has succeeded, though having been sent back a bit due to the sheer force that attack had, Chrono still was in a bit of pain. "I've been better." He said at first, getting back to his feet. "But thanks for the concern." Avoidance wasn't looking like a viable plan for him anymore, making his next course of action pretty clear. Chrono went forth to attack the mass of darkness, striking at the nearest limb to him.
Watching Boreas break through the concrete in what could be described as an angry fit had Chrono briefly stunned. Fortunately he was on their side, so being on the receiving end of it was a less likely outcome. Boreas had calmed down shortly after and Chrono didn't say much about what he saw, not that there was much that he could say. As Aria was being treated by Boreas, Chrono had taken a seat near Tinarah. "How are you holding up?" He let the question settle, then thought about how vague it was. Especially given how they had just gotten out of a massive battle. "I don't mean physically, I can kinda tell that answer. Just in general given all of this." None of this was what he had thought he'd be doing when he left home that day. At the time his plan seemed much simpler, figure out what the keyblade was, learn how to be better use it and go off on his own goal. That was all, nothing more and nothing less. Now look at him. "This world is still here though, we can at least help out after we've rested." Last time something like this had happened, they were left with little choice but to run. This time however they managed to stop it. Meaning there was a chance that they could do more if they tried.
Kel let out a sigh of relief once the heartless had been defeated. This whole ordeal had been both long and grueling, but finally it had reached it conclusion. "Maybe, though not sure where we would find any of those." Hot springs aside, just being able to relax would be a welcome changed all things considering. A sudden gust of wind cause Kel to instinctively cover his face. Kel peered in the direction the wind was coming from and caught sight of the after math of Shiro and Hughes battle. Fortunately the former was the victor. With the wind subsiding, Kel had ventured over to where Shiro was as well, just in time to see Aux be restrained by Mizu's magic.
From the moment that Chrono had stepped in between Illiana and Koa, he had been on guard. He wasn't going to make the first move and give him a reason to fight back, but he certainly waging to move from this spot either. They stood there as Dentro had fallen in the ravine and Chrys narrowly avoided an attack from Boreas due to a bright flash of light. The light faded and all was quiet beside a remark Chrono had heard Tinarah say. It annoyed - no, irritated- not that, it pissed him off. He hid it well, well he thought he did. His fist were pretty tightly clenched for a short while after hearing that. Relaxing his hands, Chrono spied the piece of the paper in which Tinarah had picked up. It reminded him of the scrap he'd found back on the R.L.S Legacy. Being the one who read it, Tinarah spotted the potential connect first and he handed the scrap the he still had over to her. "Sure, they seem more useful with you." To be honest he wasn't quite sure what it all meant, but what he could tell was that these pieces were connecting and finding them all would clear up the picture. The arrival of Take and the others was welcomed. "Least they're all back here." He didn't want to have to go through someone else dying.
Chrono may have been doing well so far in fending off the heartless, but his magic was running low and that was with the help of Atmos. If this battle were to be drawn out for much longer, then he would most certainly run out. From there it would be a battle until his body gave out as a result of all the attacks. The ground shook once more and all the heartless around them had gone away. The red orbs above still loomed above them which was concerning. As things had seemingly calmed down, Chrono used this time to look around to check on everyone else. Qamar was still going at it with Dentro, which was good in its own way. Next he spotted Boreas fighitng the girl that Tinarah had tried reasoning with, Chrys. He didn't feel much reason to be concerned about Boreas in this instance. Surely something like this would be no trouble for him to handle. As it stood, the situations hadn't changed a whole lot. Illiana was still unaccounted for out of all of them who had stayed behind. His eyes did a quick scan just to spot her in the process of collapsing on the ground. Perhaps some, or at least one of them, would listen to Tinarah. Regardless of if they did or not, Chrono had already headed off in Illiana's direction and used the last bit of magic that he could muster to cast cura on her after stationing himself to be in between her and Koa.
For the next sequence of events Chrono had found himself standing in place, which bothered him greatly. Why was he unable to move when it mattered most. His sister had just gotten kicked in the gut as well as Adalric died. Regardless of how well he knew the guy, there was no reason for him to be killed in such a manner. It was just like five years ago when his mother had been killed and he just watched as it happened, not doing anything until it was too late. Was he really about to stand there and allow something like that to happen again? No he wasn't, not if how tightly he was gripping his keyblade was anything to show. A strong desire to punch Dentro was still there, but now wouldn't be a time for that. Quickly Chrono sprinted over to where Tinarah was and helped her to her feet while casting cura on her. From there he started channeling the power of Atmos in case he would need more magic. "You okay? If so then we need to leave Dentro to Qamar and deal with these heartless." To be honest he didn't even know if Qamar would be find on her own, but after that display she didn't seem like she'd be in a cooperating state. Chrono casted Cura on Tinarah Chrono actived Atmos's D-Link HP: 61/80 AP: 40/40 MP: 15/30 DP: 3/3
Swatting away heartless that had approach him ha become a simple task at this point. Not because of the difficulty, but solely due to his body working on auto pilot to deal with the smaller nocturnes and rhapsodies that floated around him. The various pelting of ice and fire did nothing to stop him, but it did leave leave him unprepared for the neoshadows that had snuck over to where he was. Chrono was lucky enough to notice the sudden shadow overhead and get in a defensive position. The attempt did stop any major damage from being struck to his back, but he was still knocked both down and back a bit from the attack. Chrono had groaned once he'd somewhat gotten up. The neoshadow that had attacked him was nowhere to be seen, however that one heartless wasn't a prime concern. Seeing Tinarah be downed was the first and last thing on his mind. From there his body worked on autopilot and ran over to where she was. Even if she had been healed and gotten up by the time he's actually got there, it didn't stop him from casting cura on his sister. 'Are you okay?' Was what he wanted to say, but the words had gotten stuck in his throat. Chrono cast Cura on Tinarah Heartless Defeated Blue Rhapsodies - 4 (One beaten through Combo Plus) Red Nocturnes - 4 HP: 61/80 AP: 12/40 MP: 15/30 DP: 3/3

"I thought it had already run out." Kel said off handedly to Steel's comment. Luck certainly hadn't been on his side throughout this battle, which was nothing new if he were to be completely honest. Kel used Cross Slash
Hacking away another cluster of heartless that were near, Chrono soon found himself briefly losing his balance when the grounds shaking had reached a new level. Using his keyblade to maintain his balance, which gave Chrono time to notice the the crack in the ground that had opened up. Things were progressively getting worse and having looked around at the situation, nothing gave any implications of stopping. At this point, even if Master Thallssa had found the keyhole, would it magically undo all of the damage that had been caused right now? It was a possibility that Chrono didn't want to think about right now. Spying two Blue Rhapsodies charging up another ice attack to be sent at him, Chrono was quick to move out of the way of said attack then swatting away the two heartless. From his new location, Chrono was able to spot Illiana and Qamar with Glyde standing in between them. From the implications of the scene, Chrono assumed that they were having some sort of dispute that Glyde was intervening in. if that actually was the case, then this was most certainly not the time to be doing that. Heartless Defeated Blue Rhapsodies - 4 (One beaten through Combo Plus) Red Nocturnes - 2 HP: 68/80 AP: 20/40 MP: 30/30 DP: 3/3
No sooner than Chrono had put his attention on the heartless around them, a group of 10 Blue Rhapsodies flew over to him and pelleted him with a variety of ice shards. The damage taken to his arms were nothing as he focused more on protecting his face. Fortunately their attacks were short lived, which allowed Chrono to move his arms away from his face. At this point the Blue Rhapsodies had scattered, yet still remained within range of Chrono. From that point on Chrono went about striking down heartless from that cluster until none were left. Heartless Defeated Blue Rhapsodies - 4 (One beaten through Combo Plus) HP: 68/80 AP: 28/40 MP: 30/30 DP: 3/3
Compared to the electric feeling that he had to deal with earlier, Kel would much rather deal with the coldness from the last attack of the heartless. The pain on the other hand he could do without, but that most certainly wasn't going to happen. Firmly grasping his keyblade, he went and attack with a combo of sorts. Kel used Splattercombo
Now being able to move his limbs without feeling an annoying shock throughout his body, Kel dashed in an attacked with a Zantesuken Kel used Zantesuken, as stated above
Zephyr glanced down at Thea's shaking hands before nodding. He could sympathies with her wish, he needed something to vent some of his pent up aggression and punching a demon would be a nice substitute for that. "Yeah, let's go get her." Thea was ready and he was most certainly ready, so all that was left was to get this all started.
Throughout the whole little back and forth between Tinarah and Chrys, Chrono hadn't done much beyond swat away any stray heartless that had approached him and make sure that no one had tried to attack while it was going on. From where he was standing he was able to hear what being said clearly and well didn't know what to make of it. There had only been one of the Light Chaser's apprentices that he's interacted with and that was Dentro, who'd he'd would want to punch regardless of his alignment. Meaning there wasn't much Chrono could say or feel regarding what Chrys said. It didn't make much sense to him and he just attributed it to personal reason. Everyone had them and they never quite put anyone in the right. With Tinarah backing off, Chrono no longer had any reason to stick around and backed off as well. This allowed him to focus more attention on the heartless around them and start dealing with them. Heartless Defeated Shadows - 10 HP: 80/80 AP: 20/40 MP: 30/30 DP: 3/3
Kel guarded
Taking Strike Raid and going with +3 AP and +2HP
Chrono had been all set to go once Qamar had seemingly calmed down. Learning about what had caused this panic attack of hers wasn't a big deal. With everything looking the way that it did, he just wanted get off of this world as quickly as possible. If this was a repeat of what happened on Eventide Town, there was little that they could do. That mindset followed Chrono until they had managed to regroup with Torrin, who actually said that there was a way to save this world which meant that they had to stall for time. Easy enough had it not been for the group of Chaster that had landed before them. Chrono could feel his fist instinctively tighten upon laying eyes on Dentro. Even if he hadn't taken the princess and ditched them back on Atlantis, Chrono still didn't like him at all. To see him right now was less than ideal. He stood by Tinarah, keeping an eye on the girl who had summoned her keyblade. "Tinarah, let's go! Boreas and Illiana can hold them off." Contary to his words, Chrono himself had made not efforts to move away. He wasn't going anywhere until he knew for a fact that his sister had left the scene as well.
First the sky had turned dark and then their driver had a panic attack, neither of which were particularly good in their own regards. The ground shook once more, leading Chrono to use the sides of the sidecar to keep himself stable. "Take's right. Whatever you need help with, we can at least try to provide it." Getting her calmed down was the first thing that they would need to do before dealing with what was going on around them.
