Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

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.

Stratos was continuing to fly away from Shac the Clownmoth, going on his keyglider every which way as to allow someone else to attack the thing and aggro it and not have him just be getting attacked with no one else doing anything. However, as things were, with neither Kel nor Beuce acting out against it, and Karina not really wanting to fight this because of her mania/apparent anti-socialness, it was up to Stratos to keep this thing's attention. Granted, that didn't keep it from chucking the balls at Karina for no apparent reason earlier, but Stratos had experienced first hand that behemoth's just didn't like certain people. Guess Karina was just one that it didn't li-WHAM! Stratos was too busy internal monologing to notice that the behemoth was throwing its rubber balls at him again. Because of this, he was sent straight down and had to do something about not hitting the ground again. Because he hadn't actually hit the behemoth in the last post, not once, Stratos's MP was actually where it was since that post and hadn't recovered in time. Which meant he didn't really have any magic to use here and was probably going to be- WHAM!

That ball came from underneath, as if Shac had thrown it solely to knock Stratos back into the air. When Stratos looked at the creature again, he realized that the thing appeared to be having some sort of fun with all of the keyblade wielders. Sure, it was getting killed and it probably knew that it was going to die, but it still looked like it was having some semblance of fun with them. It continued juggling the balls around and then quickly pegged one at the airborne Stratos, who summoned his keyblade and decided to repeat the process from last time. As he hit the ball back, the behemoth kept throwing the balls back at him just as it had done last time, and so Stratos this time spiked the next ball that flew at him at a downward angle. This caused the ball to hit the ground first, and then come back in a way that was impossible for the unicycle riding heartless to respond. As the ball bounced upward, though, it didn't hit the behemoth. It his the unicycle. As the hit connected, the unicycle started to tremble a bit, and the behemoth seemed like it was going to fall. As the unicycle dipped downward, though, the behemoth stayed on it perfectly, and started pedaling furiously. Much faster than one would think was ever possible.

This pedaling caused the wheel to spin as fast as if it were hooked up to an engine and slowly but surely, the behemoth soon managed to pull itself back up. Well that was certainly unexpected. Stratos got ready to deal with the thing even more so now than before, as he was assuming it was going to be angry after almost falling off its precious unicycle. However, it didn't seem to have a change of demeanor at all. It, instead, just started chucking knives at the boy- okay, it was probably angry. As he got on his keyglider and swerved away from the blades, he looked back to see that the behemoth was no longer there. It was then that a large shadow came out of literally nowhere, and the behemoth was behind him. It was almost as if it had turned invisible and teleported away from him. What of bullshit was that. He looked over to the creature and then quickly used zantetsuken to cut through it to avoid it spiking a ball at him. Stratos continued to stay airborne as the behemoth landed back on the ground.

Steel watched as Ananta used a large amount of her power to finally destroy the Behemoth that had been giving them trouble for so long. However, he was aware that it was not the last of their opponents, and his knowledge was confirmed when another Behemoth appeared out of nowhere. Ananta began to attack it, but was apparently stopped by a large set of hands. Steel shook his head as she called for help against the "Behanzmoth." It seemed there was a great variety of Behemoths present if what was happening to the other groups was of any indication. What really seemed strange though was that none of these varieties seemed to exist prior to this battle... and by strange, he meant totally ridiculous and reality bending.

Steel put his thoughts aside as he ran up to the behemoth and jumped to the top, within seconds thanks to his new found speed as a Ninja. In one precise movement, he severed the hand holding Ananta with his two keyblades. He nodded to her as she dropped from it's grasp, and prepared himself as it slowly started regenerate. Perhaps he could leave it stunned for a bit if he destroyed the other hand now. It moved to punch him but missed him miserably as he leaped to the side, having aimed poorly in the first place thanks to his new protective smokescreen. He landed digitigrade on one foot and dove back towards the other hand. He pierced it with umbrella, and gave an upward swing with Llama head, doing a severe amount of damage, but not quite destroying it. He remembered to credit his earlier easy destruction of the other hand with the fact that he had found a particularly weak spot and gave another few slices with his keyblades. He destroyed the other hand and effectively returned the horn to what it originally had been: an easy target. He now had to make use of that fact before the hands came back.

He re-positioned himself next to the horn and stabbed umbrella into the Behemoths head near the root. Given the slight roar of pain from the creature, he gathered that he had been successful in his goal, though he gave a tug to the side, just to make sure it held securely. He then leaped up and, using the umbrella as a sort of axis pole, span around it, slicing the horn with his other keyblade as he came around and landed in the position he started in. He instantly leaped back up and repeated the process, again and again as he built up momentum and damage. Before long, he was just a rotating blur, dealing seemingly endless damage to the monster that stood before him. Of course, there was the BP limit, but hey, it was still a lot of damage.

As he pulled the umbrella from the Behemoths head, it began to fall toward the ground. Using the momentum, Steel leaped from the creature and landed in front of it as it collapsed in a heap on the floor... again. Turning around, he silently waited for... the ATB segments at the bottom of the screen to charge... There were four of them, and they were each labeled with a ovular module that read "Attack." True, he could just push triangle and charge ahead, but then he'd still have to wait for the gauge to fill up again, and the monster had only just fallen so there was certainly no rush. As the last of the gauges filled, he charge forward with keyblades ready. Steel formed them into an X formation and slashed downward before bringing them both back upwards in another. He brought both of them behind him and swung them in an arc over his head as his feet left the ground for a brief moment. With the keyblades below him, he brought them back up and slashed across the horn one final time. He leaped back a bit as he waited for his ATB gauge to recharge, preparing his strategy for the moment. He repeated his four hit combo about three times before the Behanzmoth rose from the ground and sent out huge bolts of lightning that crashed down on him. He took a moment to recover from the sting before bringing his attention back to the creature that stood in his path.

As he had feared, the dark hands had reappeared, and it seemed they were not restricted to the Behanzmoths' back. They floated down to the side preparing to attack anyone who came near. Steel decided that he would use the same strategy he had used just a few moments ago and ran to the side of the Behanzmoth to attack the right hand. However, this time the had was more prepared; both for his smokescreen and his speed. Without giving much time to move, the hand flailed about randomly, hitting everything in its' general vicinity. Steel was hit and fell on his back, letting out a short cough. The combination of sound and touch allowed the hand to located him. It grabbed him and lifted him up, squeezing tightly for a few moments before bringing him back down and slamming him on the hard floor of the library.

He wanted to gasp at the pain but stayed silent to avoid detection as he rolled to his left. The hand hovered in the air, trying to locate him. He downed a potion in one gulp. That was the primary downside to his current form: he no longer had the ability to cast magic with which to heal himself. However, the magical energy itself was still there, and it did still have it's other uses. Steel shook his head, casting thoughts of the future battle strategy away for another time. He instead decided to focus on one of his advantages: his overwhelming speed. He leaped towards the still searching hand and slashed at it numerous times with Umbrella and Llama head. He gave a smirk as it vanished within seconds. He then ran around to the left hand; coming from behind as to not allow it the same opportunity as the other one. Before long, it had been vanquished again as well, and the horn was an easy target once more.

Raisor swung his keyblade back in forth through the air, making sure he was still good with his swings. He was sure his attacks were getting weaker after all of these fights, and it was probably going to take a bit more effort to take down the enemies at this point. While he was working out a bit on some before, with what was going on now, it seemed a bit different than running around and hitting them. The best course was just to take them down, but not too quick that he can't take a rest. In fact, these Large Bodies were probably Raisor's best chance to try and take it slow, since they always paused after each of their attacks. The Large Body moved in the fight Raisor, and it stopped at the center of the circle.

What happened next caused Raisor to wish he was out of the circle much faster. He readied himself for the Large Body to run at him, but instead the heartless jumped into the air, and slammed down to the ground. Raisor wasn't even sure how it managed to jump so high, but when it came down, a shock wave formed from the Large Body and went outward. Raisor quickly jumped before the wave hit him, and just barely managed to dodge. The dirt and stones that were thrown his way got in his face though, and Raisor fell to the ground. He rubbed his eyes, trying to clear them, but it was too slow. During the time Raisor tried to clear his sight, the Large Body managed to get close, and threw its arms sideways and flung Raisor across the ground. Apparently Raisor would have to be more careful with these guys, because that jump was not something he was expecting. How the heartless even managed to jump so high he'll never know.

Raisor dragged himself up from the ground where he landed, and dusted off his clothes. The attack itself didn't cause too much damage, but it certainly made Raisor more cautious about these enemies. Seemed like every time he fought a heartless, one would take a surprise right to his face, and he ends up on the ground. It was at this point, he remembered something from his days in training, and what his teacher taught him: If you get caught by surprise, don't freak out and find a way around your problems. It was certainly a simple lesson, but Raisor had always tried to rush in to his problems, thinking his force could get him through without anything, but at this point, he needed to think carefully. He wasn't sure why any of the other Large Bodies didn't do that jump attack, but now that he knew, he could watch out for it and use it to his advantage. In fact, he could think of a way that it might be of use to him. He noticed looking behind him that the Assault Riders were moved back a little, and had to re-position themselves so no gaps were in their formation. From the drag marks on their feet, it didn't look like they were moved too much, maybe around two inches or so, but if he could get the Large Body closer to the edge and have it jump again, maybe he'd be able to take out an Assault Rider while it was knocked back from the force and get through the circle. Raisor figured he'd hold out on that plan though, because there were still a lot of enemies around. If he could lower the amount of Large Bodies, it might work. Besides, he still had Morning Stars; if he couldn't get the Large Bodies to move the Riders, he could always count on the spinning tops of doom.

Raisor faced the heartless standing in front of him, and tried to figure on how to get rid of it. He was too far to really get close without giving himself away, and running around wouldn't help considering how far he was. The Large Body would only have to turn a little just to follow him. Figuring he need to at least close in some distance, Raisor shot some fire spells toward his enemy, and took the chance to run forward. The Large Body got knocked around a little with the spells, but didn't seem to take any real damage. Though they did seem to annoy the fellow, because it started running with its gut sticking out, aiming to send Raisor flying. Raisor took the opportunity to slam the heartless, stopping its movements and shifting his feet so he could swipe around the Large Body's side and get behind it. Taking the chance, Raisor launched his attack on the enemy, and knocked it away. The Heartless got send flying, and when it hit the ground, it hit with so much force it jumped with its back flying toward the spears of the circle's edge. The heartless hit the spears and vanished into a cloud of smoke. Not really what Raisor was aiming for, but it did the trick nonetheless.

With one more Large Body now, another took its place. Raisor needed to make sure that he paid close attention to the shock wave that the Large Body could pull off, but he couldn't get so close that he wouldn't be able to react to any of its other attacks. With that said, Raisor also had a better chance up close, so he inched forward, little by little. Trying to take his time to catch his breath while moving, he stopped at about three feet from the heartless. As he stopped, the Large Body jumped into the air, and Raisor got ready to do the same. When the giant enemy got close to the ground, Raisor took his leap into the air. As he got into the air, and heartless hit the ground, and the shock wave passed right under Raisor. When he hit the ground, he put his put his body weight forward and pushed with his feet. Dashing toward the heartless, he jumped to the right side of the heartless, and as he got around its arm, he took a large slash at it. The slash went from the top of the back all the way to the bottom, and the heartless staggered and dropped down. Raisor wasn't expecting it to go down in one hit, but he wasn't going to complain. Just made the fight that much easier.

The behemoth...Was a clown. A freaking clown. On a unicycle. Whoever was coming up with this kind of crap was just pulling it out of their ass now. Looking at you tom! With a sigh, Beuce went to face down the horrid monstrosity. Originally, it had been juggling balls, but instead it now switched to knives like some kind of demon jester or something. What even was this thing? Beuce ran at it to attack, but a box laying on the ground popped open, shooting little bursts of energy stuff at him and causing him to run really slowly in the opposite direction with a little fear icon above his head. That was weird...While he was evidently afraid of a jack in the box, the behemoth disappeared into a puff of smoke. Where was it. Eventually, Beuce saw a looming shadow behind him. It shoved a knife at him, hoping to impale him in the back. What the hell man, not cool. He quickly dodge rolled to the side and struck upward at the behemoth. However, it again used deceive to blink away in invisibility. My god...It had learned how to bypass the cooldown reduction cap in brawl missions.

Beuce had an idea to counter this strategy. He held his sword out in front of him and began spinning. From his sword, a trail of pure golden manliness followed behind and made a full circle around him. Obviously, the behemoth had not been expecting this, as it fell backwards and was hit by the spin. Well, he managed to knock it from its unicycle, so that was an accomplishment on his part. However, now the thing was pissed off and began throwing a somehow endless supply of sharp objects at him. He managed to dodge several of them and bat others away, but a few of them got through and sliced open his skin. Evidently, defense did not come with this new power up, and he couldn't even heal injuries because he couldn't use magic. So, he'd need to rely on his allies for that sort of thing. His job was to do one thing and one thing alone, deal as much damage as he possibly could to the thing. His eyes flared up with energy as he looked at the behemoth, sizing up any weak points and prepared to exploit them through unnatural means. He had an idea of how to use his new found strength. If this worked, the behemoth would be done for.

Preparing for a full frontal assault, Beuce leaped into the air at the behemoth. Charging up his fist with the same energy that was used in brave shot and cross slash, he empowered it to immeasurable amounts. "DEMACIAAAAA!" He slammed his fist against the ground with such overwhelming force that the very ground beneath them gave way and spread outward and up, making a massive stone arena around the two of them. Standing up and facing the behemoth who had been damaged by the shockwave, he was surprised to see what happened. Due to a bug with the programming of reality or something, the behemoth just up and walked through the arena like it wasn't even there. And after that amazing play too! Well that was anticlimactic...Pressing the same button he used to activate that the first time, he deactivated the arena, causing the ground to go back to its normal state. Now, how exactly he pulled that one of, he had not a freaking clue. It just worked, don't question it. "Oh, uh stratos! You might have a clown behemoth coming for you!" He called out, warning his friend.

The hand's grip on Ananta had tightened and she was running out of air. As she was held there, she felt herself getting tired and slowly, she fell asleep. While she was asleep, she had a dream. In her dream, she was running up to her parents' room. Just the same as before her world was lost. Instead of getting out of the house, Ananta stayed behind and tried to fend off the heartless that had entered the house. Unfortunately, they overwhelmed her and she found herself being choked by the darkness. She felt like she was falling down. When she reached the ground, she hit it hard. Opening her eyes, being jolted awake by the hand falling down after being chopped off the Behemoth. Ananta gasped and wheezed as she laid on the floor. Her body felt weak and her legs could barely support her as she got up. When she tried to stand, her legs gave out and she found herself on her hands and knees. "I could have died..." she whispered, staring at the ground. She lifted her head to see Steel dealing massive damage to this Behanzmoth. Gathering enough energy, Ananta was able to stand back up and watch him cut the arms off once again.

While Steel was fighting the arms, Ananta took note that he wasn't making a noise. He was utterly silent. He was also a lot faster than Ananta last saw him. "Whatever happened to Steel, I'm grateful for it. He's now pretty much stronger and can almost dodge any attack." she said, clapping at him defeat the dark arms again, giving her a chance to run in and attack. Ananta jumped high and landed in the middle of the Behanzmoth's back. Her heels dug into the Behanzmoth's back, dealing little bits of damage as payback for throwing her to the ground. Once Ananta reached the Behanzmoth's head, she whacked her keyblade at it's horn and watched as the shield surrounding it began to weaken. It would still take a little while, but the horn was definitely losing some protective power. Ananta figured that by the time it had, say, maybe 100 damage points left, it'd go down for awhile, staying knocked out. At that moment, she'd do her best to defeat this one as well. Although, she thought to maybe let Steel do it since he seemed to be enjoying himself. Kross also seemed to be itching to fight.

Ananta jumped backwards, flipping backwards as she left the Behemoth's head. The arms had regrown and were trying to snatch Ananta up again. Remembering how Steel defeated the arms before, Ananta realized something. 'When did Steel get two keyblades?' she thought, puzzled by this. "Meh." she shrugged, jumping up and rolling to the side to dodge a dark hand. She then struck the base of the hand and watched it disappear in a puff of darkness, leaving the other hand behind. Ananta stood up and began to make her way over to the other arm when she was caught off guard by the Behanzmoth walking again. She stumbled a bit and found herself grasped in the other dark hand. "Argh!" she said, watching her keyblade drop and disappear. Her hands began to form ice around them as she was lifted up. She pressed her hands onto the palm of the dark hand and watched as it's entire arm froze into an ice sculpture. Wiggling about, Ananta was able to free one arm and summoned her keyblade. She propped the hand open, breaking the fingers off, and fell to the back of the Behanzmoth. With one swift keyblade strike, she chopped off this arm as well and made the Behanzmoth open to attack once more.

Stratos was correct, Kel hadn't been doing much since his last attack on Shac. Instead he sat on the ball that he'd taken from the heartless and observed it to see just what it was capable of. While that was partially an excuse to watch it bully Karina, Kel actually was watching it. Within a few second of watching it he learned that first off whatever Karina was doing over there by herself, Shac didn't like. That would likely be useful in the event that they needed it distracted for them to attack. Next thing that he noticed wasn't had nothing to do with the heartless at all. The wielders eyes looked up and saw Stratos flying on his keyblade glider... Accompanied by a mental face palm Kel had just realized that he could've been using his glider all this time. So many things would've been made easier for him, namely running away from the earlier behemoth. Well that all depended on what BS move that it decided to pull while he was in the air. He shuddered at the thought of suddenly having the behemoth leap into the air towards him like a cat trying to catch its prey. Now that would be a horrifying sight t-WHAM!

While Kel was lost in his inner monologue, the Clownmoth had done quite a few things. Switch targets to Beuce, pull off an interesting vanishing trick involving a knife and finally strike Kel in the back of his head with one of the balls that it was juggling. Even though he didn't see the heartless throw it, it wouldn't take a genius to figure out that the freaking clown riding on a unicycle juggling the same kind of ball that was thrown at him was the culprit. The impact of the ball knocked Kel off of the ball that he was sitting on, causing him to land face first on the ground. That definitely wouldn't blow over well with him. So the first thing that Kel did when he got back on his feet was to kick the ball that he was sitting on towards the Shac, nailing him right in the back of its head. Now Shac didn't like that, oh nah, nah, nah, nah nah nah nah. One does not simply use Shac's own ball to hit him on the back of the head, which was clear by the Luigi style death stare Kel was given when it turned to look at him. In all honesty, Kel could give two jitts about what the heartless felt about him right now. It had started this by smacking him in the back of the head with the ball and it was definitely going to get what it had coming. Shac seemed to have the same idea in mind, for two of the ball that it was juggling lit on fire and thrown at the blue haired wielder. Kel then proceeded to roll, a regular roll, not dodge roll, out of the way before turning his keyblade into its glider form and taking flight. That didn't stop Shac in the slightest for he continued to throw flaming balls towards Kel as he dodged them. For not having used his keyblade glider in quite some time, he was still able to dodge and not fall off, not that that's ever happened to him before. He continued to climbed into the air before making a small loop which lead to him diving right towards Shac. That may not have been the best of ideas for Shac took this as a chance to throw a flaming ball right toward Kel. Fortunately Kel saw that much coming and leaped off his glider and dove towards the clownmoth with his fist balled up, behind it would be the enhanced power that he was given from both his and Beuce's power gain. Before Shac could throw anything else at Kel, he was stuck in the face, effectively knocking him back and forth on the unicycle that it somehow still managed to keep its balance on. Did it glue its butt to the unicycle or something?

Kaida watched as Captain Pete ran off on his way, she was now curious about this big, ugly monster running around. Or maybe it wasn't a monster. That was what she could assume at this point considering the heartless but she would now have to be on the lookout for that. She heard a skateboard head back in her direction and looked over to see the one that had fled earlier.

He thanked her for covering for her and introduced himself as Max. She shook the hand that was offered to her and spoke, "I'm Kaida. And it's no problem I should be thanking you for helping me out earlier... um..." she looked around and then back at Max, "What seems to be going on around here... if you don't mind me asking..." Kaida pointed in the direction Pete and the weasels went, "...why are the authorities after you?"

 

Stratos was continuing to fly away from the clown behemoth when he finally saw that Beuce had started to go in and attack the thing. Now Shac the Clownmoth was starting to pull out all of the stops, and went from being slightly inspired by Shaco to being exactly Shaco. Well that was something. However, the behemoth wasn't the only thing that went over a league of legends evolution. Beuce, being the fourth wall breaker that he was seemed to go through one as well. While the behemoth had been doing various things, such as fearing the soldier with a Jack-in-the-Box that shot lasers, teleporting and turning invisible, and just generally throwing knives at people, Beuce had undergone the transformation into something that gave him raw nationalistic might. The behemoth was now up against the might of a man who had raw manly spirit, and yelled one word and one word only. Demacia. He watched as Beuce leaped into the air and created a large rock Colosseum between him and Shac the Clownmoth...however Shac had just casually pedaled out of there as if nothing were wrong with the entire situation. Well that was something different. Guess it had something to do with the way the rocks were created or something.

After those two had had their confrontation, it was now Shac vs Kel. The basketball player vs the black man...wait. Neither were either of those things. Stratos wasn't entirely sure why he thought that way, but who really cared at this point. Within this confrontation, Kel had also gotten smacked by a ball, and Stratos was starting to notice a pattern. Whenever someone was having a long train of thought and not doing anything, that was when Shac seemed to attack the- WHAM! Okay, he totally saw that coming. Regardless, within this fight Kel had actually learned how to use his keyglider , and the behemoth had started to make a kai version of his trademark attack. He had set the rubber balls he was juggling on fire. Well that was certainly new. After watching the exchange between the two fighters, Stratos had prepared himself to get ready to help out and draw the aggro back to himself so someone else could use all their, probably Demacian, might against the heartless. Still in the air, Stratos looked at the jovial clownmoth who had been pedaling around like there was nothing amiss.

Its attention was soon turned to Stratos, who had spent a good four hundred words reviewing what others had done, and soon tried to peg him down. Stratos started flying away as fast as he physically could on his keyglider to avoid getting pegged by the flaming rubber balls. It was then that while he was dodging the attack, a large trapeze bar came towards him and knocked the wind straight out of him, sending him hurtling away. The behemoth then jumped, while on the unicycle, and grabbed the bar, and hit Stratos away with its unicycle while swinging. Stratos sort of went sailing through the air, wind completely knocked out of him, and had no idea how he was going to get out of this situation. Perhaps he could- WHAM! In his monologue, the behemoth had thrown a ball at the ground so it would bounce up and hit Stratos. While at first it seemed to be taking advantage of its airborne target, this attack had actually destroyed all horizontal momentum, and caused the boy to have some hang time, allowing him to summon the keyglider under his feet, and then he could fly away. Stratos had not actually done any damage to thing, but it still seemed to take damage somehow. Well that was strange.

All of the pain, the rage, the bottled up unbridled hurt manifested itself in Kross's hateful glare at the remaining Heartless. He was going to wail on this big jerk for hurting Ananta and being indirectly responsible for making him the basketcase he was today.There was no one who would stop his wanton rampage on these unfortunate terrorists. The way they shambled about, the way they stole hearts, the way they burned entire worlds and tore families apart. He wanted to tear them apart, to let them know how it felt. His mind was on that hateful instinct, an instinct he had kept sedated for two years. After his initial assault on the Behemoth, which was finished off by Steel, he turned his gaze on the second, determined to take this one down. He was determined to prove himself, to stop being the weak child everyone assumed him to be. He gripped his keyblade, just looking at the thing made chills of anger boil up his spine, it lit up the sun shaped scar on his back. He charged at the giant Heartless, the heartless in turn tried to get in a hit with its huge hand, but Kross was quicker. Quickly, he leaped up and landed on its arm. Good, he wasn't taking damage so far so he'd have to keep it up. As he traveled up the monster's arm, it began to try to throw him off. He leaped and slashed at the horn, clinging onto it and wailed on it with the keyblade. He tried to make sure there was little collateral as possible, he didn't want to see Ananta hurt again. He finished his combo and kicked off of it as he jumped, landing on the ground and immediatly did a roll to reduce shock. He looked at the hulking Heartless with a smirk."That'll teach you not to hurt my friends, you big bully!"

Kross displayed great strength. It was rather strange, considering that Kross was also a Mystic like Ananta. His remark to the Behanzmoth about hurting friends made her realize he was talking about her. That got her pretty embarrassed. Not sure what to do, Ananta covered her face and shook her head. 'Augh, what do I do?!' she thought to herself, Dropping to her knees, Ananta took a moment to recompose herself. She'd have a nice talk with Kross after she attacked this heartless. Especially thanking him for saying such a thing, if she could even get the courage to say thanks, and maybe hugging him. Or maybe a hug would be too much. If anything, she'd probably express her embarrassment at the very least. Standing back up, Ananta scratched her head. How would she go about fighting the Behanzmoth this time? Her mana was low again from that last ice spell. Maybe simple attacks on the horn would work seeing as the hands were still gone.

Deciding on her method of attack, Ananta ran towards the Behanzmoth. As she came closer, she jumped upwards and rolled midair, landing on the heartless' shoulders. Crawling up carefully, she sat atop it's head to enjoy the view as she smacked the horn. Each time she hit it, the Behanzmoth would move a little. It was pretty fun, watching the heartless dance around the room. Although it was a little sad to watch how easily it was controlled. "Maybe I should just keep doing this, I'm having way too much fun." Ananta said, chuckling to herself. While she was sitting there, the Behanzmoth's arms began to grow back. Little by little, they grew until they were fully grown again. One of the hands crept up and tapped Ananta's shoulder. Turning around, her eyes grew wide at the sight before her. The arms now had a teal look at the tips and what seemed like claws had formed. "Uh...that's my cue!" she laughed awkwardly, jumping off the heartless and hiding underneath it. While it had such dexterous fingers, it looked like the heartless wasn't that smart. Sighing, Ananta emerged once the Behanzmoth was pretty much over looking for her.

Slowly, Ananta walked over to Kross. In her mind, she mulled over exactly what she would say to him. She'd tell him she was embarrassed but she also appreciated that he had said such a thing and did what he did. Those wouldn't be too awkward at all, right? She laughed nervously, not noticing that she had already walked by Kross. The thing that knocked her out of her stupor was the loud roar from the Behanzmoth. Shaking her head, she turned around and walked back to Kross. Standing in front of him, she frowned and wrinkled her shirt, trying to figure out what she had previously set her mind on saying. "K-Kross...er...I know you probably...didn't mean um...what you said and you...meant Steel and that other girl too but uh...I sort of felt that maybe...you mostly meant..." she stopped herself, wondering if she should really say this. Shaking her head she meeped out, "...me?" By now, her entire face was red and Ananta couldn't believe what she had said. "Forget it!" she said, turning around. She walked straight to a corner and sat down, unable to understand her actions. Sitting in the corner, Ananta huddled up and watched Kross, hoping he wouldn't walk over here. She hoped he would just fight the Behanzmoth and get it closer to defeat. She really wanted this whole thing to end.

After having done his damage to Shac, he was now waiting for someone to finish it. Why? Because someone had claimed the rights to kill the behemoth, and so he was respecting that and hadn't finished off the behemoth for that very reason. However, that didn't change the fact that nothing was still getting done. That needed to change post haste. Stratos, while flying through the air on his keyglider, noticed that there was another kind of heartless just kind of wandering around. It was...another behemoth. Only, just like just about every other behemoth, it did not look natural or usual in the slightest. However, this one was interesting for one key factor. It looked like it was made completely of metal. Like it was supposed to be some sort of tank on legs really. As it saw the curious keyblade wielder looking at him, it decided to let loose an array of attacks towards him. From the top of it, it opened up to reveal that there were...machine guns there. Stratos actually had no idea what a gun actually was, for he had never really seen one, but he did know that when the barrel was letting loose explosions and things were whizzing at him, it was no bueno.

As he continued to fly away from it, his attention was completely directed away from the clownmoth and was now focused on his new metalic foe. So, Stratos decided to fly in closer to see what he could against it, however it responded to his approach by getting up on two legs and making this mechanized dinosaur scream at him. Then, from its sides, it let loose a barrage of missiles. Again, Stratos had never seen this kind of weapon before, but it didn't take a genius to figure out that things flying at you at high speed were pretty deadly. As he flew away from those as fast as possible, he saw that they had exploded in mid air, and noted that they were basically like mini mega flare containers. Man, science sure was something else. The now bipedal behemoth, which was just great seeing as it wasn't threatening enough already, then leaped into the air to try and bring the young keyblade wielder down to the ground. However, he was not about to get tripped up by this classic move of a behemoth, and so he spun his keyglider around and boosted the other direction he had been moving in. This caused the behemoth to land and miss, though it was not done attack him just yet.

Being thoroughly annoyed with the keyblade wielder, it started to fire at him with its array of machine guns again, however its accuracy was terrible. This was probably because it was firing at him with super high rate of fire weapons, and there was absolutely no targeting system on them. It just had machine guns sticking out of parts of its body, so of course it was going to be pretty inaccurate. Using this sudden new found and completely out of nowhere understanding of how firearms worked, Stratos was able to actually just stand there and was able to completely avoid all of the bullets altogether. The powers of antagonistic bullets were quite weak as it turned out, and the rule of the less shots you fire the more accurate are seemed to be true. However, while it was continuing to fire bullets at him, a giant blade seemed to fold out of one of its arms, and then it jumped at Stratos with its blade fully ready to come down on him.

He had nowhere to run, as the bullets were firing in random directions and would surely intercept him if he were to try and fly away. Then there was the blade in front of him, that would slice him in half were it to connect. Even if he were to guard against the attack, he was pretty sure it would do a good deal of damage, and so he had no out from this attack...Wait a second, of course he did. Stratos jumped off his keyglider and summoned it as a blade back in his hand. It was then that he took his iaido stance, cherry blossoms falling from the sky, and looked to the behemoth in front of him. He, sadly, couldn't kill this thing in one hit as no vital point was visible to him to cut, however, he was able to still get off some form of damage with this. Using the zantetsuken command, Stratos had dashed through the heartless leaving a large slash mark on it as he used the command. The hit was a success and Stratos was completely safe. However, all was not well, as he was still falling. Well that was bad.

He then realized that he could just get out of this by summoning his keyglider underneath him, and so he did exactly that. Flying through the air, he got ready to bring down the behemoth once more, however it seemed to be charging something up in its mouth. A giant pulsing orange sphere, which never meant good things. As it finished charging, it let loose a giant laser from its mouth, to which Stratos had to start flying away as fast as possible from. Moving its head in the direction the boy was traveling, he was having a hard time avoiding this, and was having a hard time believing that the library wasn't completely destroyed yet. Regardless, once the onslaught had stopped, he flew over to the behemoth and got in close. Most of its attacks were long range, so if he had closed the distance, it would be pretty limited in what it could do. Once there, let loose an air combo, which he then followed up with a vorpal blitz and then ended with an air combo. When the attack had ended, he had something akin to a reaction command appear before him, and so he reacted accordingly and started slicing the thing's leg up, cutting off the armor plating around it. He was only able to do this because reaction commands gave a person superhuman powers, but he still found it odd. Regardless, the fight would go on.

The library was still flooded with heartless, although not with as many as when it had begun. Grunts, groans, and basically battle cries roared loud through the cluster of sounds as the keyblade warriors went about defending this Haven. D’daear had retaliated after a quick parry with the sweet memories keyblade. Tensing the muscles in those toned legs of his, he leaped vertically high into the air with the sole intention of bringing the blade down on the Assault rider that stood before him; blue irises locked onto the heartless’s head. The blade swung over head as he lifted the weapon with the right arm, and soon clasped the bottom part of the handle with his left palm. Fingers curled over the keyblade’s handle, with forearm muscles contracting in order to form an iron grip on the weapon. Giving it everything he had, he swung away fearlessly. Of course, one cannot just swing a weapon like that in mid-air and expect to not lose balance. So in instinctual motion, abdomen contracted briefly before having swung; this allowed for energy to be stored and to be unleashed in one quick flow. With the weight of the blade coming down towards the heartless, D’daear lifted his legs ninety degrees up by using core muscles; all the while making sure to separate legs so that the blade could fall straight down in the middle. About half of the blade made contact with the Assault riders head. The sheer weight of the blade was more than enough to cleave into the heartless’s head, however D’daear did not falter. He had given everything in that one swing, and he could feel it as the blade carved itself into the heartless, causing for forearm and bicep to tense; especially at the elbow joint. Pectorals squeezed slightly as both arms were at peak flex, with even D’daear’s back hunching over as teeth gritted in this display of raw power.

The heartless stiffened as it received D’daear’s power to the face. All sign of life escaped the creature, with now a laxed hand dropping the guan dao it had held. The weapon dropped with a loud clang like sound, teetering on the floor as it settled as ownerless. Gravity by now had taken control over D’daear’s aerial body, causing the adolescent to quick maneuver his legs towards the large creature. He quickly squatted on top of the Assault rider’s chest area while maintaining that tight grip of his on the keyblade. The heartless’s arms soon drooped, while its back began to arch backwards due to D’daear’s added weight. Hooves slowly skidded against the floor as the creature’s body just gave up, loosening whatever muscles it had. Eventually it began to fade into nothing as the darkness that had celled this body evaporated into black smoke that withered away into none existence. This helped loosen D’daear’s blade as it had gotten stuck in the creature’s skull. Soles soon landed on marble floor once the heartless had vanished, allowing for D’daear to catch a quick breath. Mouth gaped open slightly as the boy’s windpipe vacuumed air into what leads to lungs. With diaphragm tightening, Chest puffed momentarily as it expands in order expand lungs even further. The result is the spread of much needed oxygen into hemoglobin’s and blood. Such a simple act soon allows for the diaphragm to relax as well as exhale Carbon dioxide out of the lungs in order to portray a sigh. The act itself feels so soothing after having done such strenuous work, and let it be believed that it was. That small bit of motion required to take down the heartless was short, but was demanding on such a lean athletic build. While blue irises looked at the marble floor, with a quick reflexive swing using the right arm, D’daear swings the blade to the right as if trying to use the motion in order to remove any gore that may be left behind by the heartless.

The purple haired boy stands there for a moment, taking in what had been going on for a while now. The ethereal plains of the boys mind begins to take in the surroundings that is the library, slowly pointing things out. He had taken care of an assault rider that had strayed away from the south side of this enormous library, which resulted in him coming here in order to aid the warriors that were assigned this side. Upon arriving, he was met with a large body heartless that strayed from the crowd; or so it had made it seem that way. A small fight ensued with Cat having intervened in order to help out. From there they attacked one of the Behemoths while taking out a few shadows, soldiers, and a defender which had been giving Raisor problems. Then he had gone about playing dodge roll with a Bolt tower and an assault rider, which resulted in him defeating both of them and a bonus Bolt tower with one magnificent throw of the sweet memories keyblade. Now he had recently taken down yet another assault rider, which leads him to this moment. Nostrils gently continue inhale and exhale while he stands with mind trailing through recent memories; all the while making sure to keep two of 5 senses focused on the surrounding area. Standing there with keyblade raised away at arm’s length, he had realized something. The floor beneath him stirred as Behemoths moved about the area. D’daear’s heart remains steady as he keeps visuals on the floor, with a small snicker stretching one side of lips. Blades clashed nearby as an ally engages another heartless.

Looking up in front of him, pupils capture the sight of the same behemoth Cat, Raisor, and himself had both engaged just moments a go before focusing on other heartless. Massive in size, and sporting well-toned legs with large tusks and a small horn on its forehead, the creature was intimidating. This idea caused the small snicker displayed on D’daear to fade away. A quick sigh escaped his mouth as he knew that eventually they’d have to take down these wandering titans. Knowing that it could not be helped, he decides to follow the flow of battle. With the giant creature in his line of sight, his will causes a shift in body weight as he leans forward while tensing a calf muscle. Immediately he pushes off with the foot designated to the same calf, and begins to dash towards the large creature. His form passes two large bodies in the middle of being destroyed by Raisor. Turning eyes to glance at the corner of the sockets, for a brief second does D’daear’s blue irises take in Raisor’s form before rushing past him and towards the large heartless. A meaningless glance, however, to be interpreted in anyway.

Both hands came together on the handle as grips tightened themselves once more; the blade being kept to the side near the hips. Eyebrows soon furrowed themselves upon reaching only a few yards of the target. Not waiting for the Behemoth to lower its head, D’daear jumps on his last footstep. Barely is the peak of D’daear’s jump able to reach the Behemoths jaw before calling forth mana. He channels forth the explosive fury hidden within him to the tip of the keyblade as gravity takes ahold of his form ones more. With a well-aimed tip, he constructs a mine made of explosive energy and shoots it forward towards the Behemoths horn, moments before losing the peak of the jump. The mine flies toward the horn, only nicking the tip. Fortunately for D’daear, a nick was all that was needed for the mine to be set off. A small explosion makes itself known loud as the concussive wave damages the Behemoths horn, evoking a loud thunderous roar from the creature. D’daear lands somewhat gracefully on both feet before wincing at the Behemoths bellow.

The exciting fight between Straiden and Metal Heart MOTH continued. Stratos was back up on his keyglider, as he could not ninja run against the hail of bullets this was the next best thing. Stratos didn't entirely know what to do against this thing, and was debating whether or not he should even be fighting this thing alone. However, Kel was focused on Shac, and Stratos was waiting for Beuce to kill it. After all, there had been a long stretch of time between when Stratos had been attacked by this thing, and now. Not to mention if he did kill Shac, he could still bring on the hurt against this behemoth. Speaking of which, Stratos wasn't even sure what the hell this thing was. While it did have a large heartless emblem emblazoned on it, the fact was that it still looked like it was a war machine of some sort. He thought all heartless were basically organic, minus the fact that they were more so made of darkness. But this thing broke the mold entirely. Not to mention it used guns. Like, that was definitely a new one. It also, unlike Shac, did not seem to have a thing against internal monolog- WHAM!

Right, Shac wasn't dead yet. Regardless, he had to bring the heartless before him down in a very action packed sequence. Why was Stratos suddenly convinced he could one vs one this behemoth? Because, there were going to be reaction commands out the ass here. If he just responded to the reaction commands, than nothing would be able to stop him. After all reaction commands, while still a large anomaly like skill commands, were still the most overpowered thing in the world. The could make even Stratos, the guy who didn't barely got a single point of strength from two soldiers was able to slice open the metal plating that was on the leg of this thing. While Stratos was trying his best to understand how to bend commands to their fullest potential and turn them into something he voluntarily does, he realized that if he could find some way to harness the power of reaction commands, then everyone would be invincible. All the while he thinking of this, Metal Heart MOTH was desperatley shooting bullets at him, only for it to give that up. All the stupid inaccurate guns then retracted back into its body, and out from its shoulders produced two larger and more threatening turrets. Stratos was now thinking that he had to actually move, as the guns seemed to be locking on to him.

Strating to jet off in no real general direction, the guns started firing at him, and Stratos realized that these were actually tracking his position. Which meant that they were actually threatening to him. He realized he had to change this, and so he flew towards the Metal Heart MOTH, going faster than the guns could keep up with. As he got close to the leg, he quickly got off an summoned his keyblade. He started whacking the leg with the Spellbinder, only for the bipedal mecha heartless to raise its leg. Bringing it down with a stomp, Stratos was able to execute a perfect parry by guarding at just the right moment. He then followed this up by striking the leg, and kept attacking until a reaction command popped up again. Reacting to it, Stratos jumped into the air and did an ungodly large amount of slashes at incomprehensibly fast speeds on one of the shoulder turrets. With that done, Stratos had gotten back on his keyglider, as the behemoth had created distance between the two now by jumping back.

Kross panted after his onslaught, his eyes glaring defiantly at the Behanzemoth. He then saw Ananta rush at the large Heartless and he smiled at the display. Ananta was very strong and he admired her greatly. He then saw her hiding under the monster and walk towards him. He tilted his head as she laughed and watched her pass him only to come back around. He saw her stand infront of him and he stood straight out of his tense mage stance. He looked up and listened to her words. His eyes slightly widened to her question, what was she asking? WHy was she asking this? They were in the middle of a battle right? He frowned and watched her hurry off to sit in a corner. He sighed out and looked at the giant heartless. He couldn't get distracted by something that was going to confuse him in the end anyway, he wanted to make this big dummy pay for hurting her. He gripped his keyblade again and took his stance."Ananta, you don't need to worry about that...of course I meant you! You're practically the most legit friend I even have on this team. Right now, we have to focus on taking these monsters down and getting that mirror working again so we can get OUT"He said. He didn't want to run, not right now, but it didn't matter. He was here, and he was going to fight. He started his charge. The Behanzmoth turned its attention to him and wanted to line its strike up. Unfortunately, for all its power and dexterity, it was still too slow. He easily hopped on its arm and skitted up the lengthy appendage, his body glowing yellow. He jumped forward right past its head and while doing so, raining thunder spell after thunder spell on its poor head.

Besides the behemoths roaming about still, the lesser heartless have bee wiped out which meant attacking the giants will be less of a hassle. Now there won't be a collision in air when aiming at their horn nor a surprise attack waiting for her on the ground. And not to mention that one of the five has been seriously injured by the others who've been trying to end it but had no luck still. That thing really showed the meaning of "fight till the end". But as long as the behemoths don't team up together then things should work out fine. " sigh...If only I knew some kind of shrink spell. But then again I don't think there's such a spell to be able to have an effect on something named after a word that literally means huge." She cautiously jogged towards the injured one joining those who were already attacking it. The beast had its attention towards one of them so without hesitation, rain managed to do a couple of combos on its hind legs. She figured doing damage to its limbs will bring it down for some time thus giving an opportunity to give a direct hit at its weak spot. "I may not be as strong as them but the slight of damage can make a difference" she continued the hits on its legs repeatedly and to avoid being trampled on, she jumped in and out from underneath it like a game of double Dutch.

Injured Behemoth (30 BP spent)

 

"Kross..." Ananta muttered, listening to his words. Her eyes widened as he finished speaking, lowering her head to try and hide her look of complete embarrassment. This was the first time that somebody had said she was their friend. Never before had anybody ever came to her and asked to be her friend. They always avoided her or maybe outright ignored her. Even as she got older, even after the incident with the kids at her birthday, she never really had anyone try and help her. Nobody ever tried to be nice to her, tried to get to know her, other than her own family and that one special person. It was overwhelming, to say the least, and the fact Kross just seemed so fine with it all made it even worse. It was like he had had many friends before...like he had some kind of experience and he chose to be friends with Ananta over everyone else in their group. It felt nice, to be wanted, to have someone she could actually call her friend and not somebody she desperately wanted to be friends with but was unable to due to previous interactions.

Rising from her corner, Ananta propped herself on the wall, bracing herself. Her legs felt a little weak and there were butterflies in her stomach. Instead of staying down, she stood up and looking around the room. Rain seemed to be fighting the Behanzmoth now. Although, her methods were very odd, she did her best! That brought a smile to Ananta's face as she watched how hard Rain was trying to hurt the Behanzmoth. Although, she wasn't dealing much damage, she still put a bit of hurt onto the huge heartless.

Taking a few cautious steps, to make sure she wouldn't fall over, Ananta kept walking forward. Her hands touched her eyes and wiped the tears of joy out as she tripped over a stray bag that was left over from the people that were in this area beforehand. Ananta turned around on her hands and knees and reached into the bag. She pulled out a long sleeved jacket that reached about the same length as her current jacket, give or take a few centimeters. It was a gorgeous, deep red that Ananta couldn't wait to put on. Removing her previous jacket that had been torn on the back, Ananta chucked it aside and placed the new one on. The sleeves were indeed long, but Ananta rolled them up to her elbows. "Now nobody will ask." she nodded to herself, noticing two Ethers in the bag. She downed the two bottles and stood up, licking her lip.

The Behanzmoth was looking pretty ragged now. The arms were also drooping, almost as if they weren't really there anymore. Ananta jumped up, landing on the Behanzmoth's butt and running up it's spine. The hands tried their best to grapple at Ananta, but she easily dodged their sluggish maneuvers. At the heartless' horn, Ananta attacked it a couple of times and noticed the horn's protective shield had been destroyed. "Ah!" she said, feeling the heartless stumble underneath her, falling down moments later. "Now's our chance!" she called out, finishing off her chance to attack with a combo or two, enjoying this fight all too much. Once she was done, Ananta jumped off the Behanzmoth's head and landed on the ground, smirking. "After this one, we've probably got, like, three more of these? If the other sides are any indication of how many of these there are. Don't worry, I'll try my best." she said, looking at Kross, smiling.

It was at this point that Stratos was wondering if this clown behemoth, Shac, was ever going to die. Solely so that he could post, Stratos had resorted to having to one versus one a behemoth. And it just turned out that this behemoth was a giant mecha behemoth at that, complete with a full array of weaponry, that included various machines guns, various missile launchers, a giant laser thing, and a giant arm blade. All in all, Stratos would have thought that this would have been a terrifying and completely invincible foe...had the reaction commands he had been using been not made up on the spot. That made the fight all the easier, and he could sense that the behemoth was hurting. After all, with these reaction commands he had managed to slice off the plating on one of its legs and one of the shoulder mounted turrets. Now all that was left was to take on the other two on the other side of its body. Stratos had to think of a way to get close to this thing, though, as it had been starting to wise up to his antics, and let loose the arm blade once more. Now thinking about, Stratos was sitting there for quite some time, just thinking, and the Metal Heart MOTH was already in the air. Wait a second, its blade was now in front of him. Huh, guess he didn't realize that time didn't stand still when one was assessing the situation to themsel- WHAM!

Stratos had been nailed by a rubber ball that knocked him off the keyglider and launched him pretty far to the side of the Meat Heart MOTH. He watched as the blade arm came in contact with his keyglider, which was still where it originally was, and spiked it downward. Had Stratos not been hit by that ball, he certainly would've been killed right then and there. It was then that he noticed something. The rubber ball had bounced back to Shac, who continued to juggle the ball, with that internal troll face of his just being apparent.. It continued juggling the balls and simply awaited what the other teammates were going to do to it. Stratos thought that this behemoth was pretty weird, in overall mannerisms. However, now was not the time to think of this, especially while Shac was still around to punish the internal monoluguer.

Summoning his keyglider under his feet, Stratos started flying towards the behemoth, only to be deterred by a swarm of missiles flying straight at him. So, Stratos had to start flying away from those, only to realize that they were moving way too fast for him to actually avoid. And so, as they got closer to him, he jumped off of his keyglider, hoping that that would be enough to avoid these missiles that may or may not have been actually been tracking him. However, the missiles seemed more attracted to the glider and kept following it, to which Stratos realized that these must be mega flare containers that home in on the largest source of heat. Well that was nice to know. The turret that was still operational then focused back on the now falling Stratos, and he simply summoned his keyblade back and guarded. Magically, all the bullets seemed to just bounce off of his keyblade and not a single one actually hit him. Well that was lucky. He then flew forward towards Metal Heart MOTH's plated leg, now back on his keyglider, and once he got close he initiated a combo attack against it. After doing a multitude of attacks on the things leg, he saw the reaction command prompt again, and he managed to cut up the thing's leg plating, before running out of BP once more.
