[Cloud : Village Outskirts : Clearing]
Five blasts were much easier to deal with than ten. Leon stepped in, his presence snapping Cloud out of his purely rage driven-or was it rage? what was it?-attack. Even with Leon deflecting three of the blasts, Cloud was only able to avoid five of them. Two of them struck as he twisted around to block Genesis's blade. The force of Genesis's sword wanted to push Cloud back, but the two blasts counteracted that, keeping Cloud in place; he was forced to take the full force of Genesis's strike.
That, it seemed, was something to be avoided. Sparks flew from both blades as they collided, and Cloud was sure Genesis's attack would break through his block. Hopefully, Leon's attack would distract Genesis before it could.

[[Louis : Caribbean : Black Pearl ~ Above Deck]]
Louis tilted his head and scratched behind his ear, "I'll go meet up with the others then. That leaves Noelle, Jenny, and Joe in the sleeping quarters to you." The arcanist finished and strolled past her, ignoring her apology as it wasn't needed. He slowed as he passed by and turned his head to face her, "Is that all you needed?"

[The Black Pearl ~ Sleeping Quarters]
Noelle frowned a bit and thought. She hoped Jenny was right and it worked that way. But at the moment, though she kind of volunteered, there wasn't much Noelle could do.
"I wish I could give it a shot, but unless we find Jack's jar of dirt I'm S.O.L." She said with a sigh, looking up as Sora came in. "Not much luck. Jenny's magic didn't work, and I can't use mine . . ."
[The Flying Dutchman ~ Captain's Quarters]
Elleon opened her eyes and took her hand back, immediately placing it on her hip and examining her new creation. It was just as she wanted it, like Ajora said. The Unversed was female, standing about six inches taller than herself. She was thin, lithe, with long black hair pulled back into a braid, and eyes like the bird's she was just moments ago. The Replica circled her, fingers tapping her lips as she looked her over. Her dress was a bit of an afterthought for Elleon, not something she took very much time to consider, but now she thought it something fitting. The Unversed was, by appearance, a sort of harlequin in a chrimson jump suit, decorated at certain points by a black or purple checkerboard pattern. There was a black, elongated diamond painted over her right eye, the top and bottom tips of which reached up to her hairline and down to her jawline, and her lips were painted as red as her clothing.
"Nice work." She said, glancing to Ajora with a small smile. "Now I'll just give her a name, a test run, and we'll be good to go."

[Dawn : Caribbean Sea : Above Deck -> Sleeping Quarters]
Dawn shook her head at Louis, "No that was it.. thanks." She slowly walked past him she paused a moment, just before she was about to reach the stairway, she gave him a slight smile, "I'll meet you down there then..."
She didn't wait for a reaction from Louis as she proceeded towards the Sleeping Quarters of the ship. When she arrived, she was glad to see that not only Joe, Jenny and Noelle were there, but Sora was as well. Though Kyle didn't mention getting Sora, he was probably important to grab as well. She slowly stepped into the doorway, and tapped her hand against the frame.
"Hey guys," she said softly as she stood there, "I hope I am not interrupting."

[Dani :: Hawaiian Village]
“Then name is not Chakram,” Dani huffed to Cory as she moved in front of Kyla, “It’s Dani.” Dani then put up her chakrams in defense and used her chakrams to shove floods backwards from Kyla.
“Kyla you don’t mind me being in front guarding you, do you?” Dani asked Kyla since she was not sure if Kyla needed help.
Dani then notice that the Beach had suddenly become a little bit more crowded when Bobbi, and two others came to the scene. She had to try and dodge their attacks as well which made things more difficult.
Dani then came face to face with a scrapper and smirked. Dani then threw both of her chakrams in an “X” formation to cut the scrapper. While that happened Dani put both of her hands together. “Geyser!” Dani shouted before a huge amount of water appeared in her hands and shot out at the scrapper hopefully sending it flying and destroying it. “These Unversed things do not seem that tough!” Dani smiled before focusing back on the battle at hand.

[Cory .:. Hawaiian Village]
The rogue watched as Kyla destroyed a number of the Unversed, surprised in their strength. They had indeed become stronger over time, though he mentally noted that they still weren't quite at his level. As the number of Unversed began to decline, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He had exhausted himself with his short fight against Nithhogr and an extended conflict just wasn't in the cards right now.
Ow. Wait, ow?
Cory was suddenly sent flying as the fist impacted with his face, the suddenness of the assault bewildering him. Before he even hit the ground, he felt a hand on his ankle, yanking him back into a halt before a heel came down on him and pounded him into the ground.
Nithhogr grinned, wasting no time as he summoned a large group of Flood, consisting of 15 more of the creatures. He turned back to Cory and reached down, grabbing him by the throat as he opened up a portal and walked through it with the rogue in hand. However, the portal remained...
[Narnia .:. Enclave]
Nithhogr threw the ronin as soon as they entered the Enclave, sending Cory crashing through a pair of trees before rolling to a stop. The Unversed turned and looked at the portal with a proud grin on his face as he said, "Now I just leave the portal open and wait for someone to run into the trap~" Darkness filled the treetops around Nithhogr, dozens of red eyes opening up from within the black mass as the dragon turned back to Cory. "And if they don't, I've still got what I came for... Laan doesn't like you running around."
Cory struggled to his hands and knees before looking up at Nithhogr and asking, "Why does he has such an interest in me, huh?! Why can't he go pick on someone like Kyle?! Or Joe?!"
Another kick to the face sent Cory sprawling onto his back, his dazed mind unable to keep up with Nithhogr's sudden movements. He may as well have been using Burst Movement at this point. "'Because you're a loose cannon, Starsky! Gimme your badge and your gun!' No, but seriously you're too unpredictable." Nithhogr threw Cory again, this time landing the rogue closer to the portal and into a rather large rock. "He's got plans; plans that require everyone to be exactly the way they are. But you..." The Unversed sent a kick into Cory's side, the force of the blow sending a crack through the rock he was pressed against. "You don't like to act the same way for more than 15 minutes at a time. You're like a woman with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Changing every twelve seconds like it's going out of style, throwing wrenches in everyone's plans..." Another kick, another crack. "The only constant about you is the fact that nothing is constant. Even your abilities like to change. You went from darkness and illusions to darkness and speed to darkness and sound... and now you're speed and power?"
Nithhogr kicked again, this time sending Cory through the rock and crashing into another tree. If it wasn't for the rogue's ragged breathing, one could easily assume he had died by now. "The only way to make you predictable is to make you dead... But Laan wants you alive. So instead, we'll simulate death until Laan is done with his scheming." Nithhogr approached Cory, lifting him up by the throat again as he brought back the Chainblade. "Even as we speak, Laan is creating more of my power level, specifically designing them to break what could loosely be referred to as your 'allies'. Very soon now, Laan will act... and make this world a perfect place for him and him alone." The Unversed revved his weapon, the chain blades spinning as he added, "And when all is said and done... He'll probably have you and that Ultima brat killed. He doesn't care for either of you."

[So much for a chance to relax... -snorts-]]
[ Seymour : Hawaii : Beach ]
Within moments, 10 of the 15 summoned Flood were destroyed by a powerful Firaga blast, incinerating them within seconds. The sand itself seemed to melt together, appearing glass-like the moment the fire dissipated, leaving the remaining 5 Flood to dash away from the blast.
The source of the blast walked over from down the beach, his scepter in hand as he glared at the Corridor of Darkness. "It seems I've arrived too late to prevent this needless chaos. Who was that young man that just took Cory?"

◊❖❖======₪ [Kyla: Hawaiian Village]₪======❖❖◊
“It’s cool Dani,” she said with an approving smile. Though she didn’t want to be a burden, team work was important. “these Unversed are finished, then we can just relax an-“
!!? Who the heck was THAT?
One moment it seemed they were going to clean things up-the next.
Someone shows up and turns things into a more complicated mess then she honestly wanted to deal with. Man- she just wanted to go the F***ing BEACH! Too much to ask? Probably.
Within seconds Cory was flying with a punch, yanked back, kicked down, and then lifted by his neck through a portal. At first she thought they had to get through the Unversed to help Cory, but before that issue was formulated in her mind- the issue was blasted into pieces with whatever remains scattering like a bunch of frightened roaches!
“Thanks Seymour!” Wow, never imagined she’d say that. It was easier then it looked.
"It seems I've arrived too late to prevent this needless chaos. Who was that young man that just took Cory?"
“-a party pooper that’s who.” She muttered going for the portal.
Wait- she was following him into an obvious trap? ‘ We ARE the good guys right? That’s not just when it’s convenient.’Yup, he dare put their little break on hold- he was toast! If he lucky he would end up buried in sand with his nose exposed.
Casting Warding lotus on herself, Dani and Seymour she entered the portal.
When the pictomancer arrived in the enclave, she did so in time to hear the last few sentences of the long winded spoilers of Mystery mans plans. Using her minor birn Strike she aimed for the raised weapon hoping to knock it out of the guys hands.“Didn’t your momma tell you not to blab the plans to James Bond?! You’re a Real Genuis!”

[Dani :: Hawaiian Village]
“Alright Kyla, I will do my best to protect you,” Dani nodded to Kyla quickly before scanning the area. “I hope your right about the Unversed. They seem to have dissa-“ Dani instantly cut off when something punch Cory in the face.
“I really spoke too soon,” Dani muttered as she saw Cory get beat up and dragged into a dark portal. Dani made sure to have her chakrams drawn so that Kyla was alright but when Dani turned to see if Kyla was alright, Kyla looked like she was fuming.
To top it all off, Seymour shows up and destroys ten unversed instantly. “Why is it that people only show up during the end?!” Mentally shouted to herself.
Dani stopped her ranting to realize that a spell was placed on her and that Kyla was entering the portal. “Kyla!” Dani shouted and ran after, “Wait for me!!”
After running through the portal, Dani hit right into Kyla’s back and fell over since Dani could not really stop her running in time. “Ow!” Dani said before rubbing her head and standing back up. "Man I really need to stop being a klutz sometimes." Dani ranted to herself.
Dani realized instantly that a battle was going to happen and stood beside Kyla, her chakrams twitched in her hands, ready to strike the enemy and protect Kyla.

[Riku ; Amy : Hawaii : Beach]
Riku tucked his shoulder in tight, avoiding an attack by the sudden onslaught of more Flood. He followed through with his momentum, turning the tuck into a roll. Caught in the middle of the creatures, Riku nonetheless kept a clear head, battlewise, although he was entirely too distracted with the fight to pay attention to what had just happened. He saw a dark portal, smelt it even, saw Kyla and Dani go into it... Seymour's help was greatly appreciated. There were hardly any left now. Riku focused on defeating the last of them.
The number of Unversed had dwindled down to just the 5 Flood, and one last Bruiser.
Amy was safely removed from the Flood, from the Heartless-they looked like Heartless...-in general. She had a wonderful view of Cory being taken, and worse, Kyla and Dani following him in. Not that she could really blame them after seeing the brutal way he was taken. It was obvious he needed help.
Too obvious, in fact. Kyla and Dani, up close and personal to the action, followed into the portal, which had conveniently been left open. Amy shot a quick Trigger Happy into the fray Riku had found himself stuck in, then did the only thing that felt right. She had no love for Cory, from what she could tell, he had brutally slashed and nearly killed one of Kyla's close friends. She still remembered seeing the drawing... a drawing she probably wasn't meant to see, with how fast Kyla flipped past it. Still...
Amy easily avoided the Heartless, or whatever they were, and found herself standing in front of the still open portal in no time; Seymour was standing next to her.
"This feels like a trap," she said. But that didn't keep her from walking into it.
[Narnia]
Kyla was standing, book ready. Dani wasn't far away. Noticeably, the ranger suits were gone, replaced by their normal Dresspheres. Amy's guns were already summoned, and she aimed them squarely at whoever that guy was standing over Cory's limp body. God. He looked dead already.

[Nick :: Hawaii :: Beach]
Nick opened an eye as more destructive noises seemed to eminate from where he walked away from. His brow furrowed as he got up and adjusted his bandana. He pulled his rifle back onto the holster on his back, then shoved off of the ground and into the air, landing twenty or so feet from where he was. He did it again, the wind whipping in his face as he landed.
"Of course they got into another battle. OF COURSE THEY DID." He cursed out loud at no one, moving quickly to join whatever enemy the other Earthlings had made this time.

[Cory; Nithhogr .:. Narnia .:. Enclave]
Nithhogr couldn't help but smile as the Earthlings took the bait, still gripping Cory by the neck as he held him up. His eyes burned red for a moment as the darkness above opened its numerous eyes once more, Flood pouring down from the treetops and landing on the girls in an attempt to pin them to the ground.
"Poor Earthlings, it looks like you walked right into a trap! Not only did you walk into it, but you probably knew about it, too. You know what that makes you?" The Unversed threw Cory to the side as he resummoned his Chainblade, a mad look in his eyes as fire burned from the corners of his smile. "Dumbasses, the lot of ya!" The Unversed turned back to Cory, summoning a dark portal and kicking the unconscious ronin through it before dismissing it. He looked back at the girls and revved the engine on his Chainblade a bit before adding, "Knowing what my master plans to do with Cory doesn't change a thing, though. It just means you can count on never seeing him again. And speaking of people never being seen again..."
Wings suddenly exploded from the Unversed's back, followed shortly by a tail with a scythe blade on the end of it sprouting from his tailbone. In a matter of moments, the entire forest was alight with fire. The dark portal he had summoned earlier vanished from sight as well, having been silently dismissed ever since Amy had walked through. Chainblade in hand, Nithhogr slowly began to approach the three girls, his smile as sadistic as sadistic could be as he said, "You all look so delicious... Makes me want to gobble you all up..."
[Cory .:. Underworld]
The ronin soon began to stir, awakening from the brutal beating he had been given. His first plan of action was to reach into his pocket and pull out something to heal himself. He removed the simple potion from his pocket and looked at it, his faced still pressed against the ground. He hadn't even found the strength to get up yet, but he knew the potion would help. Cory painfully drank the contents of the vial, arising into a sitting position to find out where he was.
Nostalgic. It was the only thing he could think at the moment, as he had suddenly found himself in the same exact spot he had originally woke up in six days ago. "Has it really almost been a week?..." His mind suddenly snapped into gear, remembering he had no time to waste. Nithhogr was still with Amy, Dani, and Kyla. Cory jumped to his feet and held a hand out before him to summon a dark portal.
Nothing.
"Sad, isn't it?" The ronin turned to see a robed figure appear behind him, its face hidden from clear view by its hood. "Darkness is only a tool, correct? How is it that a tool can defy its master?"
The Revblade was suddenly in hand as Cory fell into stance, Indomitable Will burning around him as he said, "I don't know, but then again there seem to be a lot of people who know more about what's going on with me than I do these days." Movement. No, not movement. Lack of. An eerie lack of depth. Something not quite human. Uncanny.
Cory turned around, his eyes focusing on the real robed figure. "Sorry, freak, but it would have to be an otherworldly illusion to trick me."
"That it would. Thanks to you, we all have that same resistance to illusions." The figure held its hand out to Cory, palm facing out as it added, "Just as it is only thanks to our master that you maintain your power of darkness. When we, his servants, are nearby your ability to bend such natures to your will reduce drastically. So much that even Dark Corridors are beyond your capability."
The rogue revved the engine on his sword before saying, "So that would explain a few things... One of those things being how I can get back to help the others." Cory rushed forward, Revblade roaring as he shouted, "Just as soon as I crush your skull beneath my boot, I can go take care of that a*****e who sucker punched me!"

[Jenny :: The Black Pearl :: Sleeping Quarters]
Jenny rubbed her eyes tiredly as Sora walked in. After crying so much she felt dehydrated and her eyes felt dry, in fact, Jenny hardly felt like looking at anyone. The mage stared down at the floorboards and sighed as Noelle spoke.
"Well, at least the poison shouldn't be in his system anymore but there's still a scar left behind, for some reason... it won't heal all the way," Jenny added, a little distraught before looking up to Dawn. She had heard her approaching from the hall but the music in her heart was subdued much like everyone else's. Jenny rubbed her eyes again and tried to smile at the dancer, after all, she had lost someone important to the replicas. "No, you're not interrupting at all. What's the matter?"
.:Crying just makes your eyes puffy, very unsightly:.
Thanks Siren, just what I needed to hear.

[Joe: BP: Sleeping Quarters]
The male had let everyone in the quarters talk aruond him, lying back down and facing the wall, curling up slightly. Why? He was so damn tired...and mildly hating himself for not only looking weak. Not physically. A small comfort to himself was with that scar, he could look pretty badass. But he gave into rage and got nothing out of it....
Tightening his hand into a fist, Joseph closed his eyes. He would fix this. And those replicas would never know what hit them.

((Amy's Limits weren't added to her profile, although they had been thought on via Skype weeks before. DX They've been added now.))
[Amy : Narnia : Enclave]
Kyla and Dani may or may not have known it was a trap, but Amy sure did. The Flood were predictable, really, and after a Trigger Happy filled with Dia bullets, the Flood were all dead, too. The immediate ones, at least. If the point was to incapacitate them, Amy had successfully stopped that.
"Okay, time to go," Amy said. She holstered her guns, and attempted to grab both Dani and Kyla by the arm to drag them back through the portal. Cory was gone, there was no telling where he had been sent. She didn't feel guilty in running away now.
There was only one problem. The portal was no longer there.
"You all look so delicious..."
Amy turned at that, making eye contact with this stranger.
"Makes me want to gobble you all up..."
A shiver might have run down her spine, but the recent and unexpected success of destroying numerous heartless thingies, or whatever they were, combined with not fighting alone like she had in the start of her Azrael fight, gave her a sense of confidence. Nonchalantly, she let go of Kyla and Dani (if they had been grabbed), pulled out her right gun, and shot a single Dia Blast imbued bullet at Nithhogr's head. Her other gun began to charge.
