Ananta nodded. She knew that he couldn't do everythin, but it was worth a try. Slinking back, away from the two, Ananta sat against the wall and stared at the crystal. The dark tint it had acquired was indeed still strong, but it had subsided just slightly. Gripping it, she began to go over what had all just happened. From the outburst in the kitchen top her fighting Karina, she couldn't help but feel depressed again. Everything had gone pretty downhill since she got back from the last world. Sighing, she knew something she had to do now.
@Anti ☢ Sora Here's your gift. I hope you like it...! View attachment 37320
"I...I'm not sure myself...it's just, whatever was happening felt...evil, inside me." Ananta spoke. Truth be told, she couldn't figure it out herself. But since Steel seemed to be pretty "at one" with some kind of dark, she thought maybe he'd have some idea of what to do. "I mean, you have some kind of dark in you or whatever and this is dark right now..." she held her crystal up. "Maybe you'd have some kind of idea to get rid of this darkness clouding my crystal?"
Krowley for gods sakes, we won't edit because what if you for whatever reason tell us that we can't do something that we posted here? I wait UNTIL you say done. THEN I EDIT MY PAGE. (of course I'm not at home at this time, but still)
"Well, what I wanted to ask, was if you would wanna be my gal when you got older. I mean, right now, you're still a kid, ya know?" he asked her. Indeed those same thoughts as her crossed his mind, but he knew they were way too young for more than just dating first. Of course, he shook his head of that. Nodding in agreement to her statement, he gathered himself and dusted off. "We really should get going now. Don't want to keep anybody waiting, yeah?" he summoned his keyglider and armor. Sitting on it, he left room in front for Dawn to sit. Ananta scoffed at Caleb. He had every right to be wary and mad at her. But to protect an enemy? Even if he helped Caleb, he was probably doing it just for himself anyway. "You do know that he may have just used a shield for himself and not you, right?" she stated. Caleb was being thick now, and this wasn't good. Looking at Beuce, she saw him run towards a battle with a dude in a super form. Scowling, she chased after him. "Beuce, you idiot!" she yelled.
It's so shiny! Yay, thanks!
Ananta nodded. She had cast Aero on herself which, luckily, had given her a bit of time to float there. However, she landed back onto the balcony soon enough. Standing there for a moment, she shook all over. "Steel...I need your help." she asked him. "My crystal is dark and I almost hurt Karina and Etrius..." she spoke, voice shaking.
Ananta skidded to a halt in the main room. Right in front of Etrius. Looking at him with the same look she gave Karina, she was ready for anything. Instead, he walked away to who knows where. Instead of staying around, however, Ananta grabbed her crystal and rushed off towards where she thinks Steel could be. Once she arrives, she stops right in front of him.
As Kross tried to stop the two, Ananta had begun to step back. Karina's leg swept under Ananta's as she tumbled backwards. Blood in her mouth and on her lips, she stood up. The crystal around her neck was darker than before and you could easily tell that Ananta was not finished yet. However, she turned around towards the castle behind her. Her back to Karina, she dusted herself off. Kneeling down, she held her crystal and prayed. "Speed." she spoke, as the crystal caused her to have a slight aura. Looking at Karina, she gave her a smirk. "You're stronger than I thought. Unfortunately, I need to go stop Etrius before he does something horrible. I'll be back." she said, running off towards the castle.
2 points on Dexterity for Ananta. 25 crowns spent on increasing her Magic by 5. Also equipping Cure and Aero to take up my 2 Magic Skill Slots. And that Llama Head keyblade, equipping that too.
Ananta took the punch to the face, looking scarier than ever before. Seeing Karina's hand still pretty close after the punch, she decided to try and bite her. Karina's other hand, the one Ananta is holding, is still being twisted. Any minute now, it'd probably break or pop or something. Let's hope Karina does something. Or somebody else does something.
Ananta felt the sharp pain of the punch in her side. Her teeth were bared, as she shot a glare at Karina. Opening her mouth, you could see every single sharp tooth in her mouth as she began to twist her mouth into a smile. Her hands were working at twisting Karina's hand. Breaking Karina's wrist was indeed an option right now. An option Ananta was not afraid of taking. Though she was also open to not breaking Karina's wrist as well. Ananta had a sort of...dark look to her at the same time as well.
Ananta blinked for a moment after finishing her sentence. And then, a punch swung towards her. Ducking down, she grabbed the fist and tried to counter Karina's weight to make her fly backwards. "You know, I almost forgot, if you don't do as I requested, then I will not hesitate to freeze you in your tracks, Karina." she huffed. Considering it all, who knows if Karina would even listen.
Ananta finally stood up from her perch and sighed deeply to herself. 'This is going to be so stupid...but...' she sighed again. Taking in a deep breath, she called out to Karina below. "Hey tiger lady, I challenge you to a spar!" Ananta sped down the building and made a leap onto the ground below. Some may have thought she was crazy. She probably was. But she landed on her feet. Standing up, she smirked at Karina. "That is, if you're not too much of a coward to fight me. And may I add, no keyblades. This is a spar, not a duel, got it?" she firmly stated.
Ananta heard the scream from her perch and looked down at the training area to see Karina had moved on to attack poor wooden dummies. She may be strong enough to defeat a wooden dummy, but that girl...didn't seem strong in other areas. However, she was confused at Karina and shook her head a bit before she heard what seemed like fighting from elsewhere. Not wanting to get involved at this moment, Ananta went back to staring at Karina from afar.
Ananta bared her teeth at anybody that got near her. Her other hand pulled off the table as she walked towards a lonely table far away. On the previous table, you could see dents where her hands had pounded into them. Walked towards the lonely table, she couldn't help but feel depressed again. She bit her lip in frustration, a trickle of blood peeked out as she lifted her foot and kicked the table into the wall. It hit with a resounding clang and fell down. You could easily tell that Ananta was either very angry or very depressed. Possibly a mixture of both. Instead of staying behind, she stomped outside towards what seemed to be some sort of outlook with a view of the night sky. Stopping right outside the door, she made a tall jump onto the building and then continued to jump off of it onto the roof. Sitting down, she pulled her legs to her chest and sat there alone. There's no way anybody could reach her now.
That struck a nerve. What Eon said was just not what she wanted to hear. Couldn't they tell how sarcastic she was? Maybe Beuce and his actions were rubbing off onto her, but Eon could have gone with the joke. Or at least put it less bluntly. "So you say I talk before I think, hm?" she stood up. Her hands slammed on the table. Crackers and cheese flipped out and cake was jumping into the air and flipping over. Suffice to say, she slammed the table fairly hard. "She is a lady and she is a friend of yours, does that not make sense?" she had fire in her eyes as she glared down Eon. "Karina is a very nice lady, I can tell by just looking at her, but if she needs a CHILD to do her talking then she needs confidence." she rose her hand pretty high now. "And Eon, this is for you!" she swung her hand down hard towards his face. A resounding slap echoed through the halls. Probably, who knows what the author for Eon may do.
Shaking her head, she shoved a fork into the cake. "It's yours, besides, I'm sure there's something else I can eat in there somewhere..." she began to think. Although she was always hungry, as soon as a mission starts that hunger disappears. Must be adrenaline or something. But just to be sure, she made a mental note to always bring a snack with her. Wouldn't want to nearly die of hunger out in the field, you know. A strange feeling creeped up on her as she noticed quite a few of their team mates had joined them. Shaking her head, she folded her arms on the table and buried her face into them. She felt a little embarrassed for what she had just said, but she couldn't help but be a sucker for flowers. Especially oddly colored ones. With great smells. Holding the flower again, she twirled it and looked over across the table and saw Karina and Eon sit. "So, I see Eon has himself a lady friend now, huh?" she spoke.
Flopping backwards from the hug, he grasped her and his crystal tightly. Of course, that peck was surprising considering this girl was just like her mother in the sense of how...cold she could be at times. That hug continued for a bit before he sat up and looked at Dawn in the face. "You know, someday, I'm gonna make you a happy girl. Someday, you'll be really happy, alright?" he smiled. "And you'll be really surprised by it all. I mean, other than people our parents know, I've known you the longest and the best, yeah?" he questioned her. Nodding at him, she turned to Beuce and gave him a hug before standing in front of Enox. Removing the ice, she had him lay on his back in a sort of "T" position. Stepping back, she thumped her keyblade down into the ground and knelt beside it. Placing her hands on it's hilt, she began to say a prayer. "O' bright light that pierces the darkness, I call thee. Attach thyself to this being and create strong chains that cannot be broken. Keep this being in place for as long as I may keep you in place. Keep this being from causing more bloodshed." she finished, looking at Enox. Standing up, she lift her keyblade and grasped the handle tightly, pointing it towards Enox. Light emitted from the tip of the blade, chaining out and twisting around Enox's body and limbs. Tightening, they pushed into the ground and stuck down. Finishing off, she collapsed backwards into Beuce. Huffing, she looked at her handiwork. "That's the best I could do."
"I wasn't TRYING to hit you, stupid. I was trying to hit him." she jerked her head towards Enox. "But apparently, trying to predict his movements meant almost hitting you. To which I couldn't tell, seeing as it was so dark down there." Swinging her keyblade around and over her shoulder, she couldn't help but sigh at the current situation. Enox was out cold and here Ananta was, arguing with a light member. Over something petty, at that. Tapping her chin, Ananta had a great idea. "If you give me a bit, I can create chains of light and ice that should be able to hold him down. I don't know for how long, but it should be long enough for us to decide something more long term, don't you think?" she suggested. Gulping, Anta blushed again. Once again, he looked at the semi-healed wound Dawn had. It was half injury, half healed. Holding his crystal, he pressed it into her flesh and began to say things in a foreign language. He had a look on his face of utmost concentration. Breaking the trance for but a moment, he looked at Dawn and quickly said "Don't disturb me and try to protect me as I finish this." before going back to his previous state. All around the two, there was a cold light being pulled towards them. From the look of it, this was energy and it was fueling Anta's crystal.
