Ananta watched Kross finish off the final Wyvern in a magnificent show of ability. Oh, it looks like he also dealt some crazy damage to the Behemoth! Clapping her hands, Ananta turned to see that Steel had changed clothing. He looked like some kind of a ninja now. "That's...really odd." Ananta chuckled to herself, awkwardly. It was very odd for him to just up and change clothes in the middle of a WAR, but who was Ananta to judge. Though she did get reminded of something. "Oh..." she said, covering the scar on her arm. 'I should probably think about borrowing a a coat, cloak, or something from somebody. Maybe buy one from the next world I go to? Either way, I don't want to worry anybody with this scar of mine. It's pretty ugly after all...' she frowned, feeling small. What would the others think? Would they think Ananta was weak and unworthy of the keyblade she possesses? Will they mock her for getting such an injury? Some people are like that...a lot of them aren't. Ananta just couldn't get her mind off the thought of somebody laughing at her or showing disgust for the scar on her arm. Shaking her head, Ananta looked at the rather tired Behemoth. It almost fell asleep, from the looks of things, as Ananta walked towards it. The horn on it's head was damaged greatly, showing many places where their keyblades have chipped off pieces of the horn. "I have some mana left, so I think I'll take it out with one big bang!" Ananta smiled, jumping up. She landed on the Behemoth's butt and stood there, catching herself before she fell off. She ran up the back of the Behemoth and wailed on it's horn, dealing great damage to the Behemoth itself. Ananta jumped back and floated in midair, holding her hands out in front of her. "I hope this works..." she though out loud, feeling immense heat gather at her hands. A large fireball formed in front of Ananta. It was nearly as big as Ananta as herself. "This ought to be good enough, it's about the power of seven fire spells being fired at once! I hope you like this!" she called out, getting ready to shoot the fire ball. "TAKE THIS!" she yelled, shooting the fireball at the Behemoth. It engulfed the heartless in flames, causing Ananta to be thrown back. She landed on her feet and stared at the blaze she had created. "I'm drained..." she sighed, feeling all her mana gone. The heartless roared as it disappeared, releasing countless hearts from within it's body. They all floated away, disappearing into the sky. Fist-pumping the air, Ananta celebrated and was about to turn to Kross when she heard a booming from behind her. Another Behemoth emerged from nowhere, roaring as it landed. Ananta gasped as it landed and fell back on her bottom. "Ooh, this sucks!" she complained standing back up. "You were supposed to be the last one!" she yelled at the Behemoth as she ran towards it. Jumping up, Ananta landed on it's head. She attacked it's horn a couple of times before she had an immense feeling that something was behind her. Turning around, Ananta saw two large, dark hands emerging from the heartless. "OH MY G-" she yelled before one of the hands reached down and grabbed her. It lifted her up and held onto her as the Behemoth began to wander around, aimlessly. Ananta looked at Kross, Steel, and Rain. "Guys! Somebody get the Behanzmoth! Please!" she cried out, sobbing from the grip. OOC: DOUBLE BP...FUNTIME? (does it ever end?!)

This battle was nearly over. One side had already been conquered and it's warriors had moved on. Now, another side was close to finishing, although they left the biggest heartless for last. In hindsight, that may have been a bad idea, but Ananta didn't care. She'd make sure she did her best and defeated each of the Behemoth's. She was tired and weak and her arm was killing her, but she was going to finish. She might rest after she finishes this side, but she sure as heck wasn't going to stop now. "If the others finish before us, I'll just fall over and go to sleep. This is getting stupid." she sighed. Where that mirror was going to take everyone, Ananta hoped it was a place she could rest and enjoy some rest and relaxation with friends. Maybe even try and reconcile with Karina, even if it's just her apologizing for what she'd done here. "I'll get her a balloon and maybe some food." she said, dodging a Wyvern's talons. "I hope she likes food just as much as I do." she said, nodding to herself. Ananta jumped over this Wyvern and stabbed her keyblade into it's head as she flew over it's head. Her keyblade tore a line down it's back and caused it to split in two, disappearing in a smoke that choked Ananta. "But...then what? I'm just way too weak to compare to Karina." Ananta said, sighing and staring at the keyblade in her hands. "I haven't even been able to close a keyhole yet. I've always been left out while newer people were able to close one easily. What am I missing?" she asked herself, tears forming in her eyes. She coughed a little, seeing a dark smoke come out of her mouth. It was the same color as the smoke the Wyvern gave off earlier. Another Wyvern came by and slammed into Ananta, knocking the air out of her. The rest of the dark smoke emerged from her lungs as she hit the ground. The heartless loomed over Ananta, opening it's mouth as it leaned in closer. Ananta was sure it'd eat her if she hadn't placed her hands on the Wyvern and cast a Blizzard spell. It froze solid, only shattering when another Wyvern had slammed into it. Ananta sat up and watched this Wyvern float there aimlessly. It looked like it hadn't noticed her yet. As she stood there, getting ready to attack, the same thoughts from before appeared in her mind. 'Keyholes...what are they? I don't remember getting told why we were sealing them...' she thought, guarding against an attack. She swung her keyblade and managed to defeat the Wyvern. It seems that it was weakened from hitting the ice covered Wyvern. 'Where do these keyholes even lead? What doors do they lock and unlock...?' Ananta continued to think, parrying an attack from a fourth Wyvern. It's life ended before she could even blink. A frown stuck to Ananta as she stood there and rested for the time being. "I don't know much at all. I'm totally in the dark here, not even Master Yen Sid told me anything. He was always too busy with somebody else. I never had a chance to ask him things." Ananta said, crossing her arms. "And...it's way too hard to just ask somebody else in our group...most of them keep to themselves anyway. Making friends is hard when most of them are depressed about one thing or another." Ananta nodded to herself. "Guess I'll have to ask...somebody somehow..." OOC: DOUBLE BP AND EXP...WEEK?!

Beneath Ananta, the Behemoth had awoken from it's slumber. It's eyes shone a moment before it's horn started to gather energy and reform a new shield. Ananta was caught by surprise, having just two more blows to the Behemoth. She stared at the horn, wondering what the Behemoth would do now. The Behemoth rose, standing on it's hooves yet again, and made a booming roar as Thunder began to form in a ring around the Behemoth. Ananta looked around and hopped off the Behemoth, after almost falling off when it stood up, and ran away from the heartless. It's Thunder attack finished and she saw it snort before turning around. As it wandered off, Ananta couldn't help but scratch her head. "What kind of an enemy just does one attack and then run away without trying to follow it's target? So weird..." she spoke to herself. "Now that I've told Kross to take care of those guys...I guess I should focus on the Wyverns." she said, looking up to see said heartless gliding about. They didn't seem too keen on flying down low. Ananta remembered fighting a few before. They certainly hurt, that's for sure, and she was going to try her best to not get hurt by them this time. "I think...I think I can take out four? Maybe..." she said, looking at the heartless. "Any more than that and I'll wear myself out pretty thin." she nodded to herself. Ananta decided to get the attention of a Wyvern by throwing her keyblade at it. Instead of just aimlessly tossing it, however, she would throw it like a javelin. Raising her right arm up, she used it to help aim. When she thought she had a good shot, she threw her keyblade at the heartless. It impaled the heartless and certainly got it's attention. As it flew down, Ananta recalled her keyblade at held it in a defensive position. She blocked an attack from the heartless and returned it's strikes with her own, destroying the heartless. Another Wyvern came from behind the first one and knocked Ananta's keyblade out of her arm. She flew back and hit the ground, coughing and gasping from the wind being knocked out of her. "Ouch..." she complained, sitting up and eventually standing up. The heartless flew at Ananta and readied to attack with it's talons. Instead of letting it do that, Ananta jumped over it and attacked it's back. She finished this one off with a blast of a Fire spell, watching the Wyvern fly off from the blast and hitting another heartless. Instead of stopping to rest, Ananta ran towards this heartless and attacking it while it was dizzied by the previous Wyvern's body slamming into it. With one final swing of her keyblade, it was subdued, disappearing in a puff of dark smoke. The final Wyvern decided to be daring. Instead of making it's presence known, it floated quietly towards Ananta. Once it was close enough, it's talons dug into her jacket and lifted her off the ground. It had scratched her back, but luckily it wasn't too bad. At least, that's what Ananta thought, although it hurt more than she thought. Struggling, she called her keyblade and thwacked the Wyvern's head. She managed to knock it out and caused it to loosen it's grip on her. She fell down to the ground with the Wyvern, watching it hit the ground hard. Instead of trying to heal herself, Ananta decided to end the Wyvern's time and destroy it with her keyblade. She slammed it with her keyblade, causing it to disappear. OOC: DOUBLE BP AND EXP...WEEK?!

Huffing and gasping for air, Ananta slid under the Behemoth in an attempt at dodging the Air Battler chasing her. For the past little bit, the last of the Air Battler's had been charging at Ananta. "I don't know what I did to deserve this..." she sighed. It struck her a moment later that maybe they didn't appreciate the fact most of the heartless were now defeated on this side. Especially they're own kind. "If I can just defeat a few more, Kross can defeat the rest of these winged ones. Then we gotta get the wyverny ones..." she spoke to herself, looking around. Ananta noticed that there weren't any Air Battlers around, so she stepped away from the Behemoth's shadow. She was then attacked by an Air Battler. It struck her right arm, causing a sharp pain to shoot through her body. Ananta didn't hold back in her attacks against this heartless, due to it causing her to hurt greatly. Although her swings were weaker due to only being able to swing with one arm, she managed to defeat the heartless regardless. Falling to her knees, she gripped her right arm and fought back tears as she rocked herself in place. The pain subsided, still stinging as it was before, but not as horribly as it was a moment before. Swallowing hard, she rose and looked at two Air Battlers sitting on the ground, fighting over a heart they had nabbed from someplace. Desummoing her keyblade, Ananta ran towards the Air Battlers and pressed their heads into the ground as she skid across the floor. "Defiling a heart with your filthy hands! They're sacred and hold memories of people...just..." she glared at the heartless and scoffed. "You don't even answer, you're just zombies or something. That's all you are." she said, pumping two Blizzard spells into her hands, freezing the heartless slowly. "Suffer slowly for what you've done." she said, sitting there and watching them. The heartless stared back at her blankly before they were completely frozen. "And I bet you don't even care, do you?" she mumbled, standing up and summoning her keyblade once again. She hit both of the Air Battlers and watched them disintegrate into darkness. Scratching her head, Ananta was grabbed by an Air Battler. "Really? That's all you guys can do?" she sighed, letting the heartless carry her. From the looks of things, it was carrying her to the Behemoth. "Exactly where I wanted to go.." she chuckled, twisting her body and getting ready to break free. Ananta used the momentum from the heartless flying to cause it to spin out and fall to the Behemoth's back. They landed safely, with the heartless under Ananta. She stood up and dodged an attack from the Air Battler by jumping over it and landing behind it, striking the heartless a couple of times with her keyblade. She made short work of this heartless and soon watched the heart escape the darkness it had been born from. Carefully, Ananta climbed to the top of the Behemoth's head and held on to the horn. It was still knocked out, which was lucky considering she would be in trouble if it were to wake back up right now. "Kross! Finish off those three!" she called out, pointing at the three remaining Air Battlers. "Then, we will continue to fight the wyverny ones until they're gone and finally work on the Behemoth's." she said, smiling. "That okay with you?" she asked, turning back to the Behemoth. Her keyblade struck the horn a couple of times, causing it to chip. OOC: DOUBLE BP AND EXP...WEEK?!

I appreciate they cut off a bit of Xion's head tho.
The love taps on the Behemoth's horn were met with a distressed roar from the heartless. Ananta looked down to see the horn's protective barrier had been dissolved and now it's horn was exposed. The Behemoth fell down and seemed to have been knocked out. This gave Ananta an idea. "Kross! The horn!" she called out to him, smacking the horn a few times. As she was going for another hit, four Air Battlers grabbed her arms and legs. They carried her away from the Behemoth and were ready to drop her. Struggling, Ananta managed to kick one of the Air Battlers in the face. It let go for a moment before it grabbed her leg again. Once they were a fair amount away, the Air battlers let go of Ananta and let her drop from high up. Panicking, Ananta cast Aero on herself and watched as it cushioned her fall. Sighing, Ananta stood up and saw that the Air Battlers noticed she didn't get severely hurt. Three floated in place while the fourth, the same one she had kicked, zipped down to Ananta and began to attack her. Ananta dodged and slipped away from the heartless until she saw it had grown tired. Taking advantage of this, Ananta attacked the heartless relentlessly. The Air Battler didn't last too long after, disappearing in the middle of a combo and making Ananta stagger from surprise. Turning around, she awaited another Air Battler to engage her in battle. Instead of just one, all three cam down and began to take turns swiping at Ananta. She tried her best to dodge them, just barely dodging some hits, but still able to move between them. "I gotta get away from this..." she mumbled to herself. Watching as they attacked, she noticed an opening. Waiting for the next opportunity, she focused on dodging. As soon as she was able, took the opportunity to slip past them and take one of the Air Battlers with her. She stopped and turned towards the Air Battler. It was angry, that was apparent, so Ananta prepared for it's attacks. It was doing pretty bad, Ananta noticed, seeing as it kept missing her even without her dodging. Instead of letting this drag on longer, she ended it's life quickly with a sharp keyblade to the stomach. The two remaining Air Battlers that had attacked her both arrived to torment her even more. The one that attacked first was pretty strong considering the two attacks that connected were painful. Although for all the strength it had, Ananta's own attacks seemed to connect and deal tons of damage to it, ending it's life in just three hits. The final Air Battler took the longest to kill, making Ananta think it had a lot of defense. It's attacks were weak, however, seeing as she sat there and took barely any damage from it. She managed to take it down, but only after she exhausted all of her mana. She sighed and looked at herself. "Guess I'll have to heal up later..." she said. Turning towards the East side, Ananta noticed that Stratos and Karina had finished off the final Behemoth of that side. "Wow," she said, watching them finish it. They then headed off towards the North side, helping them. "We're almost done over here, so hopefully we can go to another side and help as well. I'd like to make sure everyone was doing alright." she said, wiping sweat from her forehead. Ananta was sure that they'd do well enough to finish the other heartless off plus the Behemoth's on this side. OOC: DOUBLE BP AND EXP...WEEK?!

Ananta heard the statement from Kross as she was finished healing herself. The large wound on her arm was merely a large scar now, but that didn't mean it had stopped feeling quite sore. She stood on the Behemoth's back and watched Kross' onslaught of attacks begin. Not wanting to be caught in the middle of them, she jumped away and landed on the ground, staring at Kross and the Behemoth. Kross was quite strong for a guy that looked like he couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag. Kross landed near Ananta and she couldn't help but look at him and then the Behemoth. "Um, Kross. That was cool..." she said, standing next to him now. "Your magic is pretty strong, ya know? Makes you look...awesome." she said. These compliments were harder to say than she made it appear. Her hand tried to cover the scar on her arm just as much as she was keeping her left side facing Kross. She didn't want to burden him with knowing she was injured, so she tried to keep it secret. Up above, Ananta spotted an Air Battler circling around. "Kross, watch." she said, summing her keyblade. Staring at the Air Battler, Ananta chucked her keyblade at it in an attempt to look cool. The keyblade cut straight through the heartless and clanged against the ceiling. "How was that?" she asked, not noticing the keyblade had begun to fall. A louder clang could be heard as the keyblade hit the floor next to Ananta, startling her. She jumped into Kross' arms and clung to him out of fear for whatever might be attacking with such a loud shriek. Opening her eyes, she turned to see it was just her keyblade. Staring at Kross, she jumped out of his arms and turned towards an Air Battler. "I...I'll take care of that!" she said, running towards the Air Battler. She swung her keyblade at it and slashed through it. The Air Battler floated above the keyblade and only managed to get it's leg smacked. Ananta glared at the heartless, going to swing it again. Her keyblade hit it multiple times, performing a combo, and finishing off with a Fire spell to it's wing. The Air Battler disappeared shortly after and another one took it's place, giving Ananta enough of an excuse to not be anywhere near Kross right now. 'That was embarrassing...' she thought, remembering her jumping into his arms. 'That's something you do when you're dating...not friends!' she sighed, lowering her keyblade a little and looking at the Air Battler she just defeated. The fourth Air Battler was teasing Ananta. It would get close enough for her to swing at it, but it would move immediately after and float closer to the Behemoth. "Argh!" she growled at the Air Battler, snapping her teeth at it. The Air Battler was a little disturbed at the sudden teeth from Ananta, considering she didn't seem like the type to have such sharp teeth, but that didn't stop it from teasing her more. Soon enough, the heartless was sitting on the Behemoth's butt and chuckling to itself when Ananta stopped to catch her breath. Making a running start, she jumped up and grabbed the Air Battler by the wing. "You're gonna get the absolute WORST!" Ananta told the Air Battler, running up the Behemoth's back. She swung the Air Battler over the Behemoth and slammed it into the giant heartless' mouth. She smirked at the Air Battler as it tried to escape as it was engulfed. "Good boy!" she said to the Behemoth as she gave it reassuring keyblade smacks to it's horn. OOC: DOUBLE BP AND EXP...WEEK?!

Ananta stepped forward, up the path from her platform towards the giant insignia in the middle. Her piece was held tightly in her hands as she stepped onto the platform. She was far too lost in thought to notice Kross and the others on the platform at the moment. 'How did that answer come so easily? Perhaps my line of work or life experiences made it easy...I hope not...' she sighed, placing her piece on the insignia. She turned to see Gexln was talking with Xepphiras and Kross was standing alone. As she walked past Gexln and Xepphiras, Ananta stopped herself and turned to them. "Yes, you've lost your heart, but your body remembers what it was like. What the emotions were like...try and see what your body says. At least, I think that's how it works. I don't know what it's like to be a Nobody. I just know what I've read of what little information my world has on a person that is a Nobody." she commented, turning away and walking towards Kross. She stopped beside him and sighed. "I feel bad." she said, scratching her head. "My trial was fairly easy, I feel like it was unfair for the fact others had to think or fight their way to get here." she said, looking around at those who had stepped forward. Anta hadn't come forward yet, so she grew a little worried, but she trusted him and knew he would be there. It just might take a little bit. "How was your trial? Was it difficult?" she asked. "My trial...was far too easy for my liking." she said. "It gave me a riddle and the answer just appeared in my mind. Probably has something to do with all the events going on in this war." she said, feeling arms wrap around her waist. It was Anta. Anta opened his eyes to see he was on the starting platform, but at the base of some stairs. He carefully stepped up the stairs, holding the piece of the insignia in his hand. "That was the weirdest thing.." he said, reaching the top and approaching the large insignia in the middle. His piece floated towards the others and locked into it's spot. "Dad was there and it was the study from our house, but he was acting really weird. He never acted that way to me...I don't think he ever acted that way with mom either, but I don't remember." he sighed, shaking his head. He shrugged and turned to look at everyone. "I can't help but feel I don't belong...I don't know any of these people." he complained, hunching over. "I wish Dawn or Dusk were here." he said, standing back up. He turned to see his mother was standing next to Kross. He frowned. "Oh yeah, thanks mom, running off towards that guy...hmph." he said, pouting and stepping over to her. He wrapped his arms around her and looked at Kross. Actually, he glared more than he simply looked. He was quite mad. "She's mine! Not yours!" he said, acting very much like the teenager that he was. "Anta..." his mother said, shaking her hand and placing her hands on Anta's. "Be nice." she asked him, sternly. "Fine..." he sighed.
Kross certainly made a show of those Air Battlers and the Behemoth. So much so, that Ananta couldn't even take a moment to rest before the Behemoth started to stomp around, roaring from the attacks to it's horn. Ananta bounced around on the Behemoth's back, not from her own doing, but because of Kross. Ananta was finally able to get to her feet and not fall over when the Behemoth decided to stop jerking around long enough. She used that brief moment to run up it's back and wail on the horn, dealing a bit of damage. "This is payback for bouncing me around so much, you stupid, fat, ugly, big, thing that I wish would just die!" she yelled at the Behemoth. As her keyblade was about to land another attack, an Air Battler swiped at Ananta and knocked her off the Behemoth. She opened her eyes wide to stare at it and see a little blood on it's sharp bits. Ananta hit the ground hard and rolled over. She didn't roll herself, it was the sheer momentum of the Air Battler hitting her down off the Behemoth that made her body roll helplessly on the ground. She finally stopped rolling, but it was too late. Ananta was hurting too bad to get back up. Her body ached all over and she could feel her arm bleeding quite a bit onto the floor. That was certainly going to leave a scar. Luckily, it was just her right arm and not her left arm or else she'd be in a lot of trouble. Gritting her teeth, she managed to roll over onto her back and press a healing spell onto her arm. It certainly helped her and made the bleeding stop, but she could still feel a large scar on her arm. It stretched from her shoulder to about halfway down her bicep. Ananta sat up quickly, having now healed herself to where she wasn't aching as badly anymore, she looked at the heartless that caused her this wound. It was floating around overhead, as if mocking her or perhaps waiting for her to die, slowly circling around. Instead of waiting for it to come down, Ananta jumped up to it and swung her keyblade hard with her left arm. It didn't do as much damage per hit, but she was finally finished with this heartless. She landed below and watched another Air Battler zoom straight at her. She lifted her keyblade up to protect her, her right hand pressed against the tip to make sure this heartless didn't break through to try and get her. Her arm hurt, but she made sure to repay the pain to this one with a Fire spell to it's face. Her keyblade attacked it after, causing it to disappear. The next Air Battler flew up to Ananta and grabbed her left arm. It began to lift her up and towards the Behemoth. Ananta looked down to see yet another Air Battler was sitting atop this Behemoth. "What's with that?" she questioned, stabbing this heartless, causing it to let go of her and disappear moments later. Ananta watched below and rolled down the Behemoth's back, right to the Air Battler. She swung her keyblade at it, blocking it's attacks and causing damage to it. After that was said and done, the heartless fell off the Behemoth and was once again squashed under the Behemoth's hoof. Ananta plopped onto her bottom, panting and gasping for air. "This arm is gonna cause me trouble for a little while. Hopefully I can heal it more...." she said, using more Cura magic on herself and the wound. OOC: DOUBLE BP AND EXP...WEEK?!

"That was gross." Ananta said, scooting away from the edge of the Behemoth's head. She sure didn't want to end up like the Air Battler, so she grabbed onto the horn and stood up carefully. Once she was sure she wouldn't slip off this time, Ananta combo'd the Behemoth's horn and stopped herself once she saw an Air Battler that wasn't actually too high up for anyone to reach. "I can get back on this heartless pretty easily if I try...so I might as well jump off to attack something else for once." she said, running towards the Air Battler and jumping at it. Her hands grabbed onto the Air Battlers' left wing. As she hung, she noticed it was having some trouble keeping afloat. "Gotta be because of me on ya wing, huh?" she asked the heartless. "Don't worry, I'll only be hanging around for a bit longer. Now, come here!" she said, swinging on the wing and trying to get the heartless to fall. Her plan succeeded as she and the heartless began to plummet towards the floor. "Oh!" she said, making one last swing to maneuver herself above the heartless as it landed. She landed on top of it, aching a bit from the impact. Sitting up, she looked down to see the heartless was now unconscious. Ananta stood up and held her keyblade like a golf club. Positioning herself, she stared at a wall and nodded to herself. "With enough force, it should be defeated." she assured herself ass he swung her keyblade like a golf club. Watching the heartless fly off towards the wall, she whistled at how well she did it. With a thud, the heartless disappeared and released the heart inside. Ananta swung her keyblade onto her shoulders before she looked around and spoke to herself. "I could probably make three more disappear before I get too tired and need to rest a moment." she said, humming to herself as she looked for an easy Air Battler to get. Her eyes rest upon two Air Battler's that got their wings caught and were too busy trying to untangle. Skipping over, Ananta tapped the shoulder of one of them. Grinning, she combo'd this one into submission, turning to the other one with a sinister grin. Now that it's wing wasn't tangled, it was able to flap away rapidly. Ananta pointed her keyblade at the heartless and shot off three Fire spells before she watched the heartless float lower. Running towards it, she jumped up and finished it off with a quick combo. Falling down, Ananta took a moment to look around and see if she could spy another AIr Battler to fight. Her eyes stopped on an Air Battler that was laying in the crook of the Behemoth's back. It looked to be enjoying itself, considering it's eyes were closed. A clear sign it had not a care and was pretty much asleep right now. Ananta walked over to the Behemoth and hopped up. "Hup!" she said, landing on the it's back and being careful to not startled the Behemoth so that it would awaken the Air Battler. Once she was close enough, she placed her hands on the heartless and froze it with a Blizzard spell. Once she was sure it was completely frozen, she then rolled the frozen ball off the Behemoth and let it fall to the ground underneath it, watching as it shattered into crystal-like ice chunks. Rubbing her hands together, mostly from the cold, Ananta laid down on the Behemoth. "Time to rest." she said, closing her eyes. OOC: DOUBLE BP AND EXP...WEEK?!

Keyblade thwacking and heartless flying about, Ananta was too preoccupied with dealing some damage to this Behemoth to even be able to see what was going on around her. Four Air Battlers were were circling around the Behemoth, probably reacting to it's sudden movements, looking like they were going to pounce on Ananta at any moment. In the midst of her keyblade attacks on the Behemoth, she caught a glimpse of an Air Battler flying in front of her. She stopped her assault to watch this heartless as it made one more round trip before it zoomed in for an attack. Ananta ducked down to avoid the attack, but lost her footing and soon slid down the Behemoth's back. She stopped sliding when she reached the bend of it's back and looked around, disoriented from the slip. The heartless was back and it was zooming right for Ananta. Instead of trying to get up, she held her keyblade up as it slammed into her, trying to shove the keyblade out of her hands with a thirsty look on it's face. Ananta reached her legs up and kicked the heartless away from her, allowing her to get up and fire off three Fire spells of her own. The Air Battler was dealt with at that point. Behind Ananta, two Air Battlers had locked their hands together and were ready to put their arms around Ananta. As they began to zoom towards her, Ananta turned around and ducked, leaving her keyblade up to catch them. They spun around and slammed into each other, knocking themselves out and falling onto the Behemoth's back, leaving Ananta to look at them and think about how to deal with them. "Could just take the easy way out or I could let the Behemoth stomp on them." she considered her choices. Having come to a decision, she attacked and stabbed one of the Air Battlers, watching it disappear. The other one would get her alternate method of disposal. After she attacked it a little to be absolutely sure it would be disposed of, Ananta pushed the heartless off the Behemoth's back and watched it fall to the floor. The Behemoth had been walking this entire time, so it was only a matter of time before it stepped on the Air Battler. Ananta watched it take the step and grimaced at the thought of the same happening to her. "That just leaves one more heartless." she said, looking over at the Air Battler that was perched on the Behemoth's head. It was watching her carefully, looking to see if she was done with it's comrades before it would attack. Which it didn't do. It still sat there, staring at Ananta. "Guess I'll have to come to you, then?" she said, starting to climb up the Behemoth's back. Just as she reached the top, the Behemoth roared, catching Ananta off guard and causing her to fall over on the Behemoth's back, sliding back down to where she started. The Air Battler tilted it's head on confusion, not understanding why Ananta fell. "Oof!" she said, looking up at the ceiling. "That sucked..." she grumbled, getting back to her feet. This time, she was careful and climbed the Behemoth's back like it was a rock wall. Her hands and feet grasped at the Behemoth's back and she was finally at the top. The Air Battler simply stared at her as she reached a fist up and punched it off the Behemoth's head. It fell back and landed in the Behemoth's mouth. Ananta looked over in time to see the heartless' fate. OOC: DOUBLE BP AND EXP...WEEK?!

Ananta felt the warmth of Cure magic washing over her. It was getting to be familiar and often times she almost wanted to go to sleep with this warmth. For the moment, she had to resist such urges and continue fighting. Looking over to see Kross offering a hand to her, Ananta shrugged it off and rolled over onto her side, curling up. Her stomach growled and begged for food right now. Unfortunately that wasn't going to happen so long as Ananta had to fight. "There is one thing I can do, but I'm gonna have to be really lucky that a heartless doesn't come by and attack me, or I'll be left with an empty stomach again..." she sighed, sitting up. "Let's hope this works." she said, reaching into her jacket. She yanked out a cloth that seemed small, but as she pulled it out, it grew large and spread out in front of her as food appeared on the cloth. "Break Time!" she said, sitting down and grabbing a chicken whole. Ananta began to engorge herself, filling her stomach with various foods from succulent meats to crisp veggies. She finished it all off with a large milkshake that was sweetened with cocoa. The food disappeared shortly after, once Ananta was full enough, so she flopped back and patted her stomach. "I live for food." she sighed, rolling backwards and standing up. Grabbing the corner of the cloth, she stuffed it back into her jacket. Far above, an Air Battler was swooshing about with it's friend. As Ananta had finished her food, they swept down and grabbed her together, carrying her around. "Oh god, not again, not again!" she said, summoning her keyblade. Ananta spun around and fell to the ground, landing on her feet, swaying. "Never again, I know what happens!" she yelled at the heartless. One of them managed to sneak an attack on Ananta as she straightened herself out. She retaliated with her own fury of attacks, ending it with a big fire blast to the face of the heartless. It zipped off in a flame that soon caused it to disappear, leaving her to deal with it's friend. The Air Battler charged head on, leaving Ananta little time to react other than ducking down to dodge it. "These things hit pretty hard. Not as hard as the wyvern ones though." she commented, When the Air Battler came in for another attack, Ananta used an ice spell to freeze it's wing and go in for an attack. She managed to cause it to disappear shortly after, scoffing at how easy that one was. "Hope they aren't all pushovers, or else this'll be pretty boring." she yawned. "Hm, now to get another heartless' attention." she said, looking around. High above, she saw an Air Battler. So she decided to try and do exactly what Rain did earlier. Tossing her keyblade up, she watched as it hit an Air Battler, but continue to soar up. It eventually fell back down on the same Air Battler, taking it back to Ananta with it. Jumping out of the way, she saw the heartless get stabbed into the ground, disappearing. It screeched out, just like a heartless earlier did. Covering her ears, Ananta saw an Air Battler come down to get revenge. Smirking, Ananta let it grab her hand. It didn't grab her left hand, unfortunately for it, so she let it carry her to the Behemoth. As they approached, she gripped the heartless and did a somersault in midair, spinning and stabbing the Air Battler on the Behemoth's horn. "And for good measure!" she yelled, performing a combo on the Behemoth's horn. OOC: DOUBLE BP EXP...WEEK?!

no
It wasn't too long after Ananta was knocked out that she started to wake back up. Her eyes were the first thing to move, slowly opening and still dazed from the punch to her face, blinking rapidly to try and focus her eyesight. For a moment, she was paralyzed, not able to move her arms or legs. Ananta was able to breathe, but she certainly could not make a move or a sound. It went away eventually, she realized, as her fingers twitched and scraped at the floor underneath her. Sitting up, Ananta pulled her legs in and bent over in pain. "Auuugh!" she yelled out, holding her face. It still hurt, even after the fact, but she toughed it out. She didn't even cry this time. "I'm going to kill all of you!" she yelled at the remaining Air Knockers. "Ya hear me!?" Rubbing her face, Ananta checked to make sure they hadn't broken her jaw or her nose or anything else on her face. Once she was sure she wasn't injured anymore than what she had just felt, she stood up and glared at the Air Knockers. They were all floating together in a formation that looked like they were practicing moves on each other first. They were probably getting ready to fight everyone, from the looks of things, as they were watching the wielders carefully as they moved about. "They're going to pay for what their buddy did. I wish he was still around so I could just pummel him, but unfortunately he got destroyed I guess. No idea, honestly, I got knocked out quickly..." she spoke to herself. Ananta stopped and sighed. 'Honestly, talking to myself? What am I, crazy? Anyway, I think I'll attack one of them first and then use magic to take out as many as I can. Blizzard ought to work. I can cast it twice with both my hands and then slam the resulting popsicles together...' she began thinking, formulating her plan in her head. Nodding to herself a minute later, she was ready to attack. Leaping up at the first heartless, Ananta attacked it, comboing it and blocking any attacks that may or may not have been sent her way. When the heartless was destroyed and she was just whiffing thin air, Ananta landed on the floor below her and looked up to watch the remaining Air Knockers. Two circled around and dive bombed Ananta. As they reached her, she grabbed them by the arms and froze them in her hands. The two Air Knocker popsicles then were slammed into each other, shattering into darkness and ice pieces. The remaining three Air Knockers soon began to circle above Ananta as if they were buzzards. Instead of waiting for them to swoop down on her, Ananta jumped up and cast a fire spell on all three of them. Unfortunately, she was only able to cast two, leaving her stuck with a puff of smoke emitting from her keyblade as she fell down to the floor. The two heartless that flapped around wildly as they were on fire, soon disappeared in a puff of smoke, screeching at their defeat. The final Air Knocker zoomed down at Ananta. "Stupid keyblade." she grunted as the Air Knocker attacked her with a barrage of fists. Once it grew tired, Ananta returned it's attacks with vigor. Her keyblade slammed against the heartless multiple times before it disappeared. The heart inside flew away, allowing Ananta to fall back and take a breather. "When will this fight ever end? I'm way too hungry to keep fighting, ugh!"

With Kross healed, Ananta stood up again and saw Steel's attack on the Behemoth. "Wow." she said, placing her hands on her hips. Although, she was a little scared of what he did. It didn't feel right. It felt strange, almost sinister...but she could still tell Steel was there. It's not like he was going to just go crazy from this dark power of his, right? Ananta hoped he wouldn't seeing as he was quite powerful and looked to be well-versed when it came to fighting. He was fast, too, which made it all the more amazing. Being able to attack as swiftly as he did with as much power as he had shown would be very useful in the future. Especially considering how powerful their foes are. "I'd hate to be on his bad side." chuckled Ananta. Her mind then wandered back to what she had seen behind his mask. It was pretty scary and Ananta still didn't understand it. It sort of hurt to know he was like that under his scarf. If he didn't want anyone else to know, then she understood, considering he seemed a little annoyed at even her finding out about it. Shaking her head, she stamped her foot. "Whatever!" she said, jumping up and grabbing her keyblade. Once she was high enough, she began to combo a group of Air Knockers. There were about six in this group, so she would have to be careful. Especially since they seemed to strengthen the more there were in close proximity. "I'd hate to get knocked out by one of these ugly things." she chuckled, watching as the one Air Knocker she was fighting disappeared in a puff of darkness. As she fell back to the ground, Ananta cast Aero on herself to try and lessen the damage caused by the other five Air Knockers. "Wouldn't want to get knocked out, now would I?" she laughed, ducking when the five Air Knockers swooped down to attack her. Each time they continued their swooping, Ananta would hit one of them with her keyblade. "Eventually, they'll all be defeated. This has gotta work..." she mumbled. Indeed, it worked. As they kept on swooping in for an attack, one by one they all fell until only two remained. Ananta laughed at them. "How could you be so careless? You let your friends all die! And here I am, still very much alive and still very much protected by my Aero spell!" she taunted them, laughing and pointing her keyblade. "if either of you wanna try and get revenge, come and get me!" she laughed, skipping around. One of the Air Knockers took the bait, but it wasn't smart enough to noticed an assault from below wasn't going to work. As it zoomed under Ananta, she stepped right on it. She tripped forward, but landed softly due to the Aero's air currents cushioning the fall. The previous Air Knocker was destroyed under her weight. The final Air Knocker from the ground simply floated there, waiting for Ananta. Blinking, she stood ready to attack it. She hadn't noticed her Aero spell was weakening as she ran towards the heartless, swinging her keyblade at it. It took some of the attacks and returned it's own. They were easily blocked by her keyblade. This caused Ananta to become cocky as she simply moved out of the way of the Air Knockers attacks. Towards the end, she closed her eye and didn't see the Air Knocker switch it's attack to the same side she had dodged to. It struck her just as she hit it, causing her to get knocked out and the heartless to be destroyed.

Placing the chain around her neck and letting her Crystal fall down into her shirt, Ananta opened her eyes. She gasped and coughed a little. Her eyes were dizzy as she tried to sit on her knees, but failed. She fell forward onto Kross and used him to keep her from falling. When he asked her a question, she looked at him. "Wha-?" she asked, processing what he just said. "Plan? Ain't it obvious?" she asked him. Standing, she straightened herself. "We gotta keep fighting these things. These heartless...things. I'm not even sure if that's the word for them, considering they throw out a heart once we destroy them. But the way they attack us certainly makes them act heartless...." she sighed, looking down at Kross. "In any case, I'm sorry, I can't heal you...I.." she scratched her arm. She wasn't sure how to explain why she couldn't heal Kross, somebody on her own side, but was able to heal the others. "I mean...you're a mystic too so...I mean..." she grumbled. "You can heal yourself!" she said, not trying to be mean, but saying it rather harshly towards Kross. Ananta ran forward and attacked an Air Knocker. She was frustrated, noticing that she acted rather harsh towards Kross, even if he had saved her previously. 'It's not like I had trouble talking him before. So why now?' she asked herself, finishing off the first Air Knocker. Another one approached her, causing her to begin blocking it's attacks. 'I was able to talk to him just fine before this all happened. Maybe it was because we had something in common to talk about?' she thought, dodging a rather powerful punch from the Air Knocker. It crashed into a third Air Knocker and disappeared in a puff of smoke. The third Air knocker was still around, having only sustained minimal damage. Watching it zip left and right, trying to confuse her, Ananta shook her head. She only closed her eyes a moment before the heartless was right in front of her as she opened her eyes the next second. "Woah!" she said, as the force from it's attack caused her to skid back a little bit. Unfortunately for the Air Knocker, it's attack was more kamikaze than anything, seeing as it disappeared from the impact. "Maybe it didn't account for the damage from the other one?" Ananta questioned. Instead of dwelling on the why, she turned her attention to an Air Knocker that...had fallen asleep? Stepping carefully, she managed to get close enough to see that this heartless was indeed asleep. "This is just sad..." she whispered, raising her keyblade. "Sorry..." she mumbled, stabbing the sleeping heartless. It disappeared, crying out in pain. This alerted two more Air Knockers to try and save their comrade. "Well, that's taught me that the sleeping ones tend to scream the loudest, ugh." complained Ananta as she stood up, the Air Knocker's cry still ringing in her ears. Both the heartless zoomed at Ananta, in a straight line, making her job easier. She swung her keyblade at hit both of them, initiating her combo attack. Once they were finished, Ananta ran over to Kross again. "Okay, I got more mana, so I can heal you." she said, leaning down to him. She gathered the green healing magic to her hands and placed them on his chest. She closed her eyes and pushed all the Cura magic that she had into Kross. She wanted to make sure that he was healed up, seeing as she was pretty sure he hadn't healed himself this whole battle.

Their numbers dwindling, Ananta could tell there was some sort of distress in the heartless around the West Gate. "Hm, I'd say there are less than a hundred heartless left now. That's really good." she Ananta smirked, standing in position, ready to attack some more Air Knockers. "And I plan on ridding us of these aerial enemies while we all still have this much vigor." she nodded to herself, hopping back and forth between her feet. She was setting herself up to fight, getting more and more anxious as she hopped between her feet. "Pretty low on MP. Need to slap around some of these heartless until I can use my magic again. "After this, I'm going to try and heal everyone on this side at once. It's gonna be hard and I might just run out of MP after, but at least I pepped them all up, right?" she said, talking to herself. Running towards three Air Knockers, Ananta yelled out at the heartless. "Get ready to die!" she yelled, hitting one heartless away as if it were a baseball. She watched it fling off towards the Behemoth. It hit the Behemoth's leg and fell to the ground. Ananta watched as the Behemoth raised it's hoof. She turned away as the heartless' huge foot slammed down on the tiny Air Knocker. "Ew..." she said, shaking her head. "Now to take on these two." she said, twirling around as one zoomed past her in a failed attempt at an attack. She blocked it's flurry of blows as she soon returned a combo of her own. The Air Knocker floated around, weak from her attack on it, and so she ended it's suffering. All that was left was the other Air Knocker. Which, she couldn't find. She could tell it apart from the others due to how it's tail split at the end. Scratching her head, Ananta turned around and tried to find it. Unbeknownst to her, the heartless was hiding right behind her. Every time she turned, it moved with her back, trying to hide from her. It faltered when it slammed into her back as she stepped backwards. "Oh!" she exclaimed, turning around swiftly to see the heartless behind her. "That's where you were? Welp.." she shrugged, attacking the heartless. This one was swift, as her attacks whiffed the air countless times, landing once in awhile. Ananta grumbled as this heartless continued to dodge her. "What, am I not fast enough?" she said, as the heartless stopped dodging. It took the brunt of her attacks. This startled Ananta and caused her to stop attacking to wonder why this heartless would stop attacking. It was all a ruse, as the heartless launched itself at her, leaving red welts all over her arms. "Ouch!" she cried out, hitting the heartless with her keyblade. The Air Knocker then disappeared, a heart floating away. "That was crazy...well, now I have enough mana, so I'm going to start now." she said. Looking around, she found no heartless nearby and concluded that this spot would be the best. Sitting down, carefully, she placed one leg on top of the other. Removing her Crystal from her neck, she held it in her hands and clasped them together. "I won't need too much help, Crystal, so please just act as a catalyst." she said, feeling the green healing magic slip between her fingers. It surrounded her, permeating her injuries and soothing her muscles. Green strands of magic flowed around the room, healing six of her comrades. Stratos, Karina, Beuce, Hikaru, Kel, and Steel.

Everything hurt. Her head, her face, her arms, her legs, her torso, her hands, her feet, and even her butt. Ananta wasn't going to let that keep her from slamming some heartless and trying to protect this place. In fact, as she stood there, she could feel everyone's will to beat all these heartless and try to save this place from falling. Each of them had their reasons, but they were all working towards this goal. "I wish I was as strong as some of the people here." Ananta said to herself, running towards an Air Knocker and attacking it. 'Then I wouldn't have to struggle so much. If I was as strong as Karina, I'd never have to worry...life would be easy...' she thought, frowning. The heartless disappeared and she landed on the ground, wobbling a little bit. 'But Karina herself said she's not that great of a person...or at least that's what I'm getting...I think. I don't know.' she sighed, falling back as an Air Knocker slammed into her. It left a red spot on her skin that was surely going to bruise. 'At least she can remember people. I can't even remember one person. Well, one person that's obviously very important to me.' she corrected herself, standing ready to fight the Air Knocker that attacked her a moment ago and it's buddy. They both zoomed in to try and attack. Ananta reached forward and grabbed them, watching them struggle as her ice froze their heads, letting them drop to the ground and disappear. "Regardless, I'm sure I'll remember her later. She's important to me aft-" she stopped. Her. She. Woman. Lady. "When did I remember that the person is a woman? How...strange..." she shook her head, looking at two more Air Knockers in front of her. They were both in her way as she ran towards them and began to beat down on one of them. The fight lasted for a little bit, what with each of them defending and attacking equal amounts of time. In the end, Ananta came out victorious, but her right arm was hurting from the blow from earlier. It was impacting her ability to defend the entire attack. As such, she tried to block the next Air Knocker, but was unsuccessful. "Gack!" she said, as the heartless punched her in her stomach. She fell to her knees and gripped her stomach, coughing. Her hand covered her mouth as she looked around frantically. Running to a plant, Ananta tried to hide herself as she began to vomit in the plant. Returning to the heartless, Ananta looked pretty terrible. Her breathing was labored and she still felt like she needed to throw up a little. "Y-you're an as-" she was about to say before she started to cough. "-hole...ugh" she grunted, Green healing magic erupted from her hand, flowing into her body when she pressed her hand against her stomach. The healing magic lessened the pain and she didn't feel like throwing up any longer, but it still hurt a lot. "Time for some PAYBACK!" she said, smiling and running towards the heartless. Her hand grabbed the heartless and she looked around her. Another Air Knocker was nearby, but it hadn't noticed her. She ran towards it, still holding one Air Knocker, and she began to beat this new one with it. Eventually, they both disappeared and Ananta was left alone to watch their hearts float away together, spiraling before disappearing themselves. "I hope these hearts are able to go back somewhere...to something..." she said.

This battle had been going on for a very long time now. It felt as if they had been fighting for weeks with little to no breaks in between. Ananta stepped forward, getting ready to attack another heartless before she tripped over her own feet. Falling flat on her face, she propped herself up and laid on her stomach, recovering from the shock. Licking her lips, she was surprised when she tasted copper. Ananta looked down and saw specks of blood on the floor and frowned. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled a handkerchief out. It had her name written on it in the ancient language of her world. Underneath the word was a saying. 'Let the light of others in.' A saying that Ananta heard quite a lot in her life from...somebody. That same person she couldn't even remember the name of. Patting her lips and her nose, Ananta leaned her head back and began to wait for her nosebleed to pass by. Her mind drifted and she remembered the day she received the handkerchief. It was her 10th birthday. The only people at her party were her parents and their friends' children. Fourteen children came over. None of them wanted to be anywhere near Ananta. Even when she was going to blow out the candles on her cake, they were busy giggling and talking to each other. Afterwards, they ate their cake and ran off to play in the backyard again. Ananta stood at the door, watching them play. Her mother appeared and forced her to go outside, leaving the door and going to wash dishes again. Walking closer to the children, Ananta saw they were making a pit filled with muddy water. When she approached, the children dared her to jump into the pool. Ananta refused and eventually was pushed into the water. The children laughed and pointed at her before one of them decided to run inside and tell her mother. Her mother walked outside, angrily, and pulled Ananta out of the water. She told her she shouldn't have made such a mess and tried to get the children to follow her in. Trying to tell her mother it was the opposite, she was met with only her mother shushing her and turning to the other children, telling them it was time to go inside and open presents. Turning back to Ananta, her mother told her to stand outside while she went to get her some clean clothes. Ananta sobbed and knelt down, crying. Opening her eyes when she heard a voice, she looked up to see a blank face handing her a handkerchief. Ananta opened her eyes to realize she was imagining things and shook her head, folding the handkerchief back up and placing it in her pocket again. The nosebleed had stopped now and she was sure she'd be fine, so she stood up and looked at the Air Knockers nearby. Yet again they were having a small sparing match as she approached them. Her keyblade slammed into one of them multiple times before it disappeared, causing the other two to turn to Ananta. They were startled to see their friend was gone and soon tried to escape. Reaching forward, Ananta grabbed the tail of one of the Air Knockers and set it on fire. The heartless flapped around pitifully before she combo'd it to oblivion. Approaching the other heartless, Ananta saw it turn and attack her, slamming her with punches that she wasn't able to block. An opening appeared and she took the chance to attack the heartless, destroying it in the process.
