After Flynn was focused on the task of defeating the nobodies, he began faring much better. Left and right, the nobodies continued to disappear one after another as Flynnigan continued his combos. He had learned his lesson about the Dancers, helping him to evade their moves. But he hadn't understood the attack pattern of the Dragoons until it hit him. Literally. Luckily, he'd been able to dodge out of the way fast enough so it only barely scraped him. But it left the Dragoon open for a counterattack. With another swipe of his blade, it also disappeared along with the others.

It was getting more difficult to avoid the fight between the two as things continued to heat up. Flynn first assumed that the guy was just trying to make the area more difficult for them to fight in, but judging by the looks of things, it also served to make the girl angry. Well, he supposed that this was their home. Still, until he took care of the nobodies, their battle was her problem. He sidestepped as another Dancer attempted to toss him around again, only to give it another horizontal slash once it was past him. But it became more and more difficult to avoid the fight between the two. As the earth began to shake, Flynn tried to focus on getting his footing. But at least the nobodies seemed to be caught off balance as well. He took this opportunity to jump at the last few Dancers remaining. There were a few Dragoons still about with their ability to hover, but the boulders were soon making quick work of them. He had to be careful to dodge them as well. But he didn't dare make any complaint about the battlefield conditions. They may not have made any verbal agreements about how to carry out the battle, but if she was doing whatever she could to fight the leader, he had to just make sure to survive while he dealt with his own fights. Even if this guy could summon more Nobodies, it would probably take more energy and concentration out of him, hopefully giving the girl a few good openings.

▲Zaston Taer▲

___________________________________________________________________________

"Huh?!" said Zaston before falling in holding his Guan Do and hitting the ground hard. Many of the rocks had hit him on the head and his head was bleeding. Despite his injuries he was livid, angry such a brat managed to injure him. This set him over the edge and his temper was now in full gear. Jumping out of the hole blazing brightly as the forest started to burn again.

"That's it brat! I'll cook you alive!" shouted Zaston as he looked around searching for her knowing her games. This time he played it smart and tried to anger her. Burning more of the forest his flames expanded. He would make her surface or burn her entire home. He would take care of the girl then the heroic idiot. He had no use for the male since he wasn't displaying signs of power.

Location: Deep Jungle.....Home

"It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder

'Til it was a battle cry..."

Lily could feel the heat rise around her. No....her plan didn't work...and if he kept this up, the whole jungle would be ashes, including the treehouse. She opened the hole again and jumped out, her hands up in surrender. "STOP! JUST STOP IT!!! I will do what you want just please stop burning the jungle!!" she pleaded in a shriek. She'd do just about anything to make him stop destroying her home.

"LILY! What are you doing?! MOVE!" Crimson barked at her as he tried to get higher to avoid the flames, but keeping an eye on her. Lily looked up at him and gave him a weak smile. She would do what she would have to to protect her home. Even if it meant giving in to the enemy. One for the lives of many correct?

"Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light
You'll come back when it's over"

Well, it sure looked like the world was literally crumbling around him. Less than half a day out of Fantasia, and the first world around him seems like it's going to be torn apart from the inside out and turn to ash at the same time. And what was he doing? Fighting nobodies. Well, he expected himself to do more than that, but at least the nobodies were taken care of! But it didn't seem like there was going to be anything left to fight for now. The area was falling apart, and the girl looked like she was about to give herself up. He couldn't let that happen. She had some sort of strange abilities, which might be that of a Sage- exactly what he was looking to find. And if this guy wanted anything to do with her, it couldn't be good. But all that aside, he wasn't going to let any lady give herself up to a man that she clearly did not want to go with.

Well for whichever reason, he wasn't going to let her just walk into his hands."Don't go along with whatever he says just yet. There's no way that you handing yourself over would even make him stop. Does he exactly look like the kind of person that keeps his word? He would just as soon continue to watch this place burn as soon as he has you where he wants you!" Flynnigan pointed out. Although this did give him an idea. He hardly thought it would work, but it was worth a shot. "Besides, just because he can make flames, doesn't mean he has complete control over them. Any novice magician can summon a fire. Putting it out is a whole different matter. He probably doesn't even know how to stop this forest from going up in flames!"Flynn taunted. It probably wouldn't do anything, but if he could just get this guy only a bit distracted, he might be able to get an opening to attack.

[Latias Saphira]

ღ ღxx Sora had not been expecting the building to come down as fast as it did, or with such...ferocity was the only word he could think to describe it. He was relatively familiar with structures coming down around him, but none that he could recall had been as small (relatively speaking) as the palace was. Still, it had done the job, and the brunette was confident that everyone had gotten out alive. Scraped, bruised, and tired, yes, but alive.

Except that when he looked around him, just to be sure, he could see only Khan a little ways away with Mulan and Mushu on his back, as well as the injured soldiers from earlier. There was no sign of the girl with the seaweed-coloured hair or the one with the remarkably useful slingshot. Only now did it occur to Sora that the others might not be nearly as used to this sort of a thing as he was. The colour drained from his face as he realized what he had just caused.

"MARELLA! SILVIA!" he yelled, immediately diving back into the wreckage, not caring that there were still some pillars standing that were in danger of toppling over. No sooner had he done this, though, had he spotted the owner of the first name he had called rise out of the broken stone. The dark crimson colour of blood stood out very starkly from her pale skin and clothing, even at a distance, but it obviously wasn't too serious, for she immediately began to call out for Silvia to make a noise. During her pauses, he did the same, but there was only the faint sound of groaning soldiers back in the town area. At least, that was where he thought it was coming from, until he tripped over a rock--no, wait. It was a root. Sora stared at this for a moment before following the root with his eyes and realizing it was connected to a number of other roots, all creating a sort of dome big enough to protect a man.

Or a young woman.

The brunette summoned his Keyblade and prepared to cut through the wood, but as soon as he touched it with the blade, the roots curled back into the ground, shifting the bits of rubble that had fallen onto them so they didn't collapse in on the one underneath. However, it was not Silvia he found, but one of the soldiers. He was not disappointed, though; the soldiers were just as important. He helped the man up and supported him back out of the ruined building, setting him down by the still-unconscious Tony, who Bambi had deposited on the ground. The young stag looked at Sora with intelligent eyes, and Sora asked, "Will you help me?"

The deer nodded, and they began struggling over the rubble again. This time, Sora angled towards the throne room where the fight had taken place, though it was hard to navigate a place Sora had only been a few times. This, however, was where Bambi became invaluable: he could smell the still-living wood, or so Sora assumed, because the stag suddenly became excited and led him directly to another wooden dome. Sora helped out this soldier as well, while Bambi continued to navigate the wreckage, nosing another, somewhat smaller, dome of wood.

Your construction
Smells of corruption
I manipulate to recreate
This air to ground saga
Gotta launder my karma

Anti-Enigma JRX92005
Program gone wild. Sage of dawn.

For days the young virus had been hiding out at his latest safe haven. Things weren't look all that good for him, the system's counter measures had been steadily adapting to all of his tricks, if Anti couldn't think of something quickly he wouldn't be able to make it at all. Sitting on a bastion platform of the tower, his eyes just hovering over the digital sea. "Fine mess you've gotten yourself into today, isn't it? What to do, what to do!?" Frustrations mounting as he flailed about on the platform, falling on his back and kicking his legs. It was hard enough not to try and go on a rampage, acting like a trojan was never fun when he was built as malware. Why couldn't he just have been coded as a simple program and not a virus? Stopping his tantrum to simple just look over his hand. The typical angst that consumed the young and equivalent of a teenager. Questions of why was I made, who made me, my purpose in life, and what to do. All the grand questions in life still existed even on the digital circuit. Letting out a deep sigh, this place would only be safe from antivirus searches for another day, two at most.

His mind was trying to figure just where to go next, the solar sail docks were pretty light on security last time he was there, maybe he could slip into the crowd and hide out for a while. A while cycle or so might pass. All he could do was wait for the time being. Though, his peaceful plans for existence didn't stay for long, a rumbling shook the ground, Anti had no idea what was happening. The ground shook so hard it knocked the virus to the ground, panicking as he tried to figure what this was. Before he could even do anything the I/O tower lit up, powered for a data transfer, Anti figured it would just be an incoming flow of new bits but instead a flash engulfed him. For less then a fraction of a second he knew what it was to be turned into his base data and through across the worlds of reality and cyber reality. Where was he going? He had no idea, he had no control, this was a one way trip that he could do nothing to do. All it did was send him flying somewhere far far away from his home.

The world of deep jungles. For a moment a flash enveloped the sky, a light so bright it looked like a second dawning sun on the horizon. A beam of white light flying downwards to the world of green with segments currently turned red from flames. Anti had no idea what was happening with him or what this green stuff was below him. One thing he could tell was a large amount of blue stuff was right below him and he was coming down fast at him. In the fleeting moments before he was going to reach what reminded him of the digital sea, wait it looked a lot like it but with way less neon. Before Anti could get much though out he collided with the water's surface, the impact was thunderous to him, stray bits of data and his body plunging deep into the water, causing it to well up with a surge of water spraying everywhere. The body of the young virus, bits of data turned to nothing but inert metals sinking deep into the lagoon. The shock of the impact, of whatever just brought him hear left Anti dazed as his body felt heavy. What was this weight over him, this crushing pressure, liquid filling his throat and into his lungs. Something finally took hold in him, fear of death. His mind fogged but snapping to a state the made him flail and kick, bubbling up to the surface in a coughing fury. Hands clinging onto a floating log for dear life. All he could do was wheeze and try to breath and clear his head.





Got a revolution behind my eyes
We got to get up and organize
Got a revolution behind my eyes
We got to get up and organize
Got a revolution behind my eyes
We got to get up and organize
You want a revolution behind your eyes
We got to get up and organize

▲Zaston Taer▲

___________________________________________________________________________

Zaston's lips soon formed a smile as Lily surrendered. The smile soon faded as the male with the hero complex decided to step on. He could easily dispose of him and then then take his prize. Then as he prepared his assault he blinked as he was soaked in water and his purple hair was matted to his face. He was in deep trouble, he was completely drenched so he couldn't use his fire. He was starting to get furious as steam came off of him. He needed to run this time, the fight was growing way too large and he needed to dry off.

"Friggin A man! I'll come back for you later brat," said Zeke pointing at Lily and disappearing in the shadows. He teleported into a different part of the jungle so he could dry off completely. It was such an annoyance, he was about to win when that brat that fell out of the sky. He would remember their faces so he could come back and destroy them. Now that he was out of the fight he could dry off and recoup. He now had a great deal of information on the female brat and knew just how to work her buttons now.

"It started out as a feeling

'Til it was a battle cry..."

Lily shuddered as the flame man smiled at her. She ignored the adventurer. She knew what she was doing, protecting her home at any cost. Her eyes widened as the ground began to rumble under her feet, and it was not of her doing. That was not the feel of the elephants....She quickly looked around in a panic before turning around to see the rolling water coming at them. The water hit her hard, knocking her off her feet and washing her into a fallen tree.

Lily coughed violently to get the water out of her lungs and glared at the fire man before he disappeared. She then looked around at the two men who stayed and the rest of the jungle. Well the flames were gone, but now there was a new crisis. Oh gods, the animals!
"QUIT DESTROYING MY JUNGLE!!" she roared as she struggled to get on her feet. Her knees gave out with fatigue and she splashed back to a kneeling position as she clutched the tree behind her. She suddenly felt something small whack her head.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!" Crimson barked at her, now standing beside her head on the tree, his fur all ruffled.
"Would you NOT whack me when my head hurts enough as it is?" she chittered weakly.
"You could have gotten yourself killed!!"
"I knew what I was doing! I had it under contr-oooh...." she groaned before slumping further against the tree, laying her head down on the mossy bark. She then felt something warm and dry nuzzling her face.
"Lily?" he cooed, much softer now, and she shook her head. She wasn't near used to using this much magic... She had never fought this many or this big of an enemy before and she struggled to keep conscious.

"Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light

"I promise to do my best to avoid disturbing you during you fun little bath time," Kio joked as he gave her a small wave back, "Just be mindful, don't leave anything valuable lying around."

Kio himself wasn't a pick pocket, but he knew of quite a few workers that helped themselves to lazily discarded items. He knew of one particular frog talented in removing tiny gemstones from jewelry without their owners' notice. But when it came to Tara's hammer, which he noticed had nearly cracked the wooden panels she dropped it on, he was sure it'd be safe.

"Except for that. I don't think anyone could take that if they wanted, too," he laughed.

She seemed pretty excited to get down to the baths, and frankly he couldn't blame her. If the workers were allowed to use the baths, he'd probably be in there just as much as anyone else. The workers did bathe, obviously, but it was nothing quite so amazing.

With Tara gone, there was no reason for him to stick around either. Maybe he could get some dinner before any guests--

"There you are!"

Dammit.

"Kio, you are in a lot of trouble!" spouted a green-skinned frogman with a pencil-thin mustache, "The foreman's looking for you! Yubaba tore into him good when he didn't know where you were!"

"You act like that's supposed to be my problem."

"You're supposed to report in to him, and Yubaba is looking for you right now!"

"... Fine," Kio said with a shrug, I'll go see Yubaba in a minute."

"You'll report to her now!"

Kio muttered something under his breath before turning away from the other worker. He kenw better than to keep Yubaba waiting any longer. Best to go see what she wanted right away. Hopefully she hadn't caught wind of Tara's arrival just yet.

At least one of them would have a nice night.

- - - - -

"You wouldn't want to drink too much of that, Miss," spoke up the servant gently massaging some kind of foral-scented soaps into her scalp, "It'll talk effect all at once, and I'm sure you'd like it more if you remembered the evening?"

Tilting his head a little to catch her eye, Kio smiled back at the reclined Monster Hunter as she was pampered and scrubbed clean. Thankfully for Tara, the water was already wuite cloudy with minerals and soap suds.

"Is there anything else I can get for you? Perhaps a trim for your hair?"

[Shader-san]

This ride that takes me through life,
Leads me into darkness but emerges into light.
No one can ever slow me down,
I'll stay Unbound.

Kairi shook her head as he spoke; she was very close to clapping one hand over his mouth to stop him form apologizing anymore. He was here, he was safe, and that was enough. She would have thought this the ending to some kind of nightmare turned wonderful dream, but if it had been she would been crying on the shoulders of more than one person.

"Shut up, Riku, please... just shut up. I'm just glad you're alive..."

She was only just aware of Rain approaching, but couldn't bring herself to move away form Riku just yet. Not when all of the worry and tension that had been filling her since his departure was rushing out of her. There was some awkward silence, she was sure of that, thanks in part of Riku's very brief greeting to Rain, before she finally stepped away from him and carefully wiped away the rest of her tears.

"... I-I'm sorry, running off like that, I... Rain, this is my friend Riku... the one I told you about."

She tried to smile a little, but after the release of emotion she'd just gone through, it just wasn't quite the expression she was hoping for to convey her relief.

"Riku, this is Rain. I... I tried to follow you through the portal and I ended up in a place called Agrabah. Rain was one of the friends I made there when she got lost, too. We've been helping each other get home."

Kairi couldn't help it, after everything that'd happened, she didn't want risk him vanishing on her again. She carefully slipped her hand into his, and squeezed it tightly.

"We should probably go somewhere else... we saw Nightmares earlier..."

Poor Arthur... Had Riku seen the unfortunate boy? Was there a chance they could go find him? Kairi didn't like the idea of just leaving him out there.

"Have you seen any...?"

Things didn't look good. It didn't seem like the girl was going to listen to him. Would he have to fight her too just to make sure she didn't end up handing herself over? But before he could consider the best way to knock her out without hurting her, a wave of water flushed over both him and the forest. Flynnigan blinked in confusion as he tried to get the soaking locks of hair out of his face. But as troublesome as he found the water in his face, it looked like their foe liked it even less. To the point that he'd retreat? Sure, water put out the fires, but if he was that annoyed enough to retreat, then perhaps this sudden burst of water was more of a blessing! He may not know what caused it, but it sure came in handy. Oh, he probably could have persevered and won the fight in the end, but it sure saved him a lot of trouble.

But it didn't look like the girl liked the sudden tidal wave either."The damage would have been a lot worse if the fires burned while our battle continued." Flynn assured her. But she didn't look like she was in any mood to listen to him. For some reason, she seemed crazy enough to be talking to the little pet of her's and arguing to it. Or for all he knew, perhaps he just didn't understand it himself. There had been people with the capability to speak to fairies, and mystical creatures in fantasia. Why not animals? Although now that he had a chance to brush himself off, he could now consider what her abilities meant. That kind of manipulation of the earth may have been magic, but it seemed a lot more instinctual and involved a lot less incantations than a lot of the magic he'd seen. Perhaps he'd gotten lucky and stumbled across a Sage on the first world? He thought he might encounter a Sage after a few days of searching, but this was a lot better than even he expected! At this rate, he might be able to find them all himself!

But first things first. He had to have a bit more proof that this girl was a Sage before he flew her over to Fantasia. But she didn't exactly look too good right now. Probably best not to badger her with questions just yet."Are you feeling alright?"Flynn asked. It was a silly question that he knew the answer to with just a look, but it was the usual formality. Reaching into one of his side pockets, he pulled out a small green potion and a blue cube."The green one will help heal your stamina. The blue one helps to recover any energy lost from casting spells." Flynn explained, not sure if they had potions and ethers on this world. He could use a potion himself, but she looked a lot worse than he did right now. And the sooner she was feeling better, the sooner he could get to his own questions.

But he was getting ahead of himself. She was probably wondering who this dashing stranger was. It wasn't often that knights in shining armor came to her rescue. Even if the armor was a bit soaked now."Allow me to introduce myself. I am Flynnigan Rider Knight of Fan-" But as he began, he figured it probably wouldn't be best to get into what exact world he was from just in case she wasn't a Sage. There was the whole matter of keeping the other worlds a secret, keeping the world order, etc... But it wasn't like she wouldn't be asking questions after the appearance of Nobodies. He'd get into it only if he had to. "Fan....tastic Adventures and Seeker of Excitement!" Flynn settled on. She'd probably just think the title was a metaphor or something like that. "A pleasure to make your acquaintance."Flynn introduced himself. Hopefully she'd be in a good enough mood to give her own name as well.
