Welcome to Gaia! ::

[[Keep in mind that, since Nithhogr is weak to Water and Light magic, then those attacks had 20 MS (Dani) and 22 MS (Amy) powering them, compared to your 8 MResistance.]]

[ Seymour : Hawaii : Beach ]

With the others charging head first into the portal without waiting for more combined forces, it was pathetically obvious it would soon be closed- and when it did so just as John reached it, Seymour shook his head in slight frustration. The three young girls- one previously kidnapped by Cory, one previously attacked by Cory, and the other not really caring one way or the other. Could they have at least had a little planning first?

Stretching his arms out wide, fists curled, he released a string of Thundara blasts from the sky, eradicating any remaining Unversed on the beach. They were low level spells for him, so they cost little to nothing, and since the Heartless were weak in the first place, they were easily dispatched.

"I don't suppose anyone has a method of tracking that so we know where they went, hmm?" he asked, though it was obviously rhetorical- there was no known way to track a corridor, even to his knowledge. "Or perhaps using that strange method of communication you use when the pictomancer was kidnapped earlier?"

[ Kyle ; Sora : Caribbean : Pearl's Lower Decks ]

Kyle nodded to Anthony's response, taking that into consideration. Anthony seemed more melee-based, so he really could go either way, unlike someone such as Noelle, who needed earth nearby to use most of her magic. Of course, Jacob's blind enthusiasm was a bit unsettling- was he being sarcastic, or did he honestly believe it would as simple as a button-masher?

"Well, I don't think we'll have to worry about 'mini-games', since Ajora apparently plans to destroy the place," Kyle said, vividly remembering Ajora's taunt- that by morning, the cities of Atlantis and Atlantica would be ruins. Just a few moments into his sentence, Louis had arrived, but Kyle answered Jacob's actual question first. "It'll probably be at least a few hours before we get to Shipwreck Cove. Tortuga and Port Royal may have been close together, but Shipwreck Cove has to be in a central location where all the Pirate Lords meet, so who knows... we may not arrive until nightfall."

It was at that point that Sora walked in as well. "Yeah, we were going to set out some plans for our arrival at Shipwreck Cove and Atlantica. We know that the Replicas plan to attack the worlds under the sea from our time in the Dutchman's Brig," he began, eying Louis with a cryptic gaze, the intentions unclear. "But we also know there's going to be a large-scale sea battle between hundreds of ships on this end, more than likely going on at the same time and almost certainly with help from the Replicas' allies, meaning we need people here to counter them as well."

"The main issue," he began; by this point, the others might have arrived, since the last explanation had went on for a bit. "Is who stays on deck and who goes under the sea? Of course, the only ones who can survive the deep seas are those of us with magic clothing- meaning we Earthlings and Sora, so we know for a fact people like Auron, Kuja, Quistis here, and yourself-" he glanced back to Louis. "Will remain."

"You'll probably need me to come along," Sora spoke up, strolling forward to make himself more known. "King Triton doesn't trust outsiders all that much- heck, he didn't trust me until I defeated Ursula, and I had the Keyblade. And if there are going to be Replicas of you guys attacking down there..."

"That's exactly what I was thinking," Kyle said, his tone somewhat morose. "If Ajora gets there before we do and we don't have you with us, King Triton will take one look at me and order me to be executed or something..."

"Well, that makes at least 3 of us going- Sora, Jacob, and myself- and at least one staying- Dawn," he said, looking around, expecting the others to have arrived. "What about the rest of us?"

[Dawn : Caribbean Sea : Sleeping Quarters -> Brig]

Dawn smiled slightly at Noelle, but simply shook her head, "As much fun as that sounds, I really don't feel up to it right now. Maybe after we meet with the others."

She watched as Sora left, she soon followed after Noelle and Joe, into the brig. She thankfully heard the most of the conversation as he worked to get the others filled in on what was going on. There wasn't very much for her to say. She already voiced that she was staying on the ship. Though she would be lying to herself if she would say she wasn't scared. Between the Ultima symbol on her hand and the possibility of having to fight James...

"I want to make it known what I said before," Dawn paused for a moment before she continued, "If I go out of hand and it seems I might go crazy and not fight, please lock me up. I don't want to be in the way during the fight."

Dawn locked eyes with Sayrike, Jacob, Anthony and lastly Kyle, speaking through them through her charm, "Please do me a favor, don't mention to them about the mark on my hand. At least for now. We got enough things to worry about right now."

[Jenny :: Black Pearl :: Sleeping Quarters > Brig]

The musician nodded in consent as Dawn spoke. Figuring things out would probably be the best course of action they could all do at the moment. Jenny slowly stood up, feeling that her leg has fallen a little numb from sitting on her knees. She followed Noelle while rubbing her stomach... she was hungry, but she didn't know if she felt like eating just yet.

The melodies of the heartsongs became louder as Jenny drew near the Brig, it was both comforting and saddening. She stopped a little short behind Noelle, able to catch the last bit of the conversation. "I want to go also."

◊❖❖======₪ [Kyla: Narnia: Enclave]₪======❖❖◊Oh joy- A dragon-like enemy. Kyla wasn’t too fond of fire when it was being thrown at her. But after dealing with several fire enemies before him, she wasn’t too impressed. Just annoyed. When the fire rained down upon them, a solid mass took shape right above them. Just a simple solid wall, see through so they could still see the enemy, obscured by the flames which bombarded it.

Practical pictomancy was handy.

The barrier held strong between them and the assault, with plenty fo space around it’s sides for them to shoot around it.
Kyla had a decision to make, rise up to meet the dragon- or, bring him down to their level. When in doubt, get to higher ground right?

With a quick scribble the ground around the girls rippled and like the battle in Narnia when they first arrived on the beach, Kyla created several platforms which rose up into the at levels which were close enough for the Melee fighters to leap and scale themselves higher to reach Arial enemies.

Right now Amy and Dani were the one who could deal a heavier blow to this guy, so she needed to try and amplify their attacks as much as possible, set up the opportunities they needed to get the good hits on their target. So first thing- she created a way for them to reach him, second, buffing, both were done. Now. How to weaken their enemy?
That was the next issue to tackle.

{Bobbi, Demyx .:. Hawaii .:. Beach}

Bobbi had seen what happened to Cory, but being on the other side of the battlefield could do little about it. And in all honesty, she wasn't sure she cared. Yeah, Cory had shown that there was something in him capable of being a good person, but he went out of his way to completely negate any decency in himself and just ran around intentionally being a complete a** to everyone he met. She couldn't stand people like that, and for the most part she figured he could lay in the karmic grave he dug for himself.

On the other hand, Kyla, Dani, and Amy decided to risk their necks for him. People she knew were awesome and worth helping out, and she couldn't do anything to aid them, either. She would have been angry and frustrated, but at this point in the game, she just took whatever happened with a grain of salt and kept doing what she was doing.

Weeding, apparently.

Taulmaril steadily picked off the Unversed until Seymour wiped out the rest of them with a nice Thunder spell. The Archer released Taulmaril and let her dress sphere get out of her Ranger suit, and headed over to join the crowd where the portal was.

She was boiling inside, pretty much ready to explode at the slightest provocation. How many times had Cory caused trouble, usually on purpose? She was starting to get sick of it.

After Seymour came in and disintegrated the rest of the Unversed, Demyx decided to just leave well enough alone and let everyone else handle the rest of it. Oh, he watched the girls go into the trap wide-eyed and bushy-tailed, but he didn't really care. Not that he could.

He could have probably stopped them, or done something to keep the portal open for long enough for everyone else to go through, and done whatever was necessary over there. But what was the point, really? They had big fish to fry here, and the Melodious Nocturne knew there was very little love for Cory. So why risk their necks for someone they didn't even like? His only conclusion was the same one pretty much every guy came to at one point in his life:

Girls are weird.

He realized that his silence at the moment was distinctly out of character, and decided to open his mouth.

"Man, and it was the cute girls, too. How does that Cory dude get all the chicks? Makes no sense, I tell you."

((This is probably one of the crappiest posts I have done... like, ever. ><; Sorry 'bout that. Me brain am working bad and stuff.))

[Amy : Narnia : Enclave]

Amy flinched back as the fire descended. He first instinct was to dodge away from it, but from what she had seen of Dani's attacks, her water could theoretically counter the attack. Kyla beat her to it, creating a transparent wall that the flames collided with; it reminded Amy of the family's wood burner fireplace back home. The flames looked hungry. Just beyond the immediate battle, the burning forest groaned and crackled in protest.

That's about the time Kyle's message came through. Amy answered. 'I don't know where we are, some kind of forest area. We're... well, we're doing pretty good right now. Kicking this dragon guy's butt, actually. Don't know how we'll get back- hang on a second.'

Amy honestly wasn't all that concerned, even when he announced his attack, which she assumed was a limit break, or something special. Thus when Cory appeared and stopped it, she didn't appreciate the rescue as much as she would have if, say, she'd had her a** kicked. She was pretty surprised to see Cory standing, actually... he had looked injured and limp earlier.

"Yeah, sure, no problem." Amy answered in a questionably sincere tone. "Are you okay?" She was a White Mage, after all; she was offering him healing.

[Alice :: The Flying Dutchman :: Above Deck]

Alice could sense another being, but nothing like a Replica. It must've been the creation of another Unversed. Something these Replicas were so fond of toting around with them as if they each had their own bodyguard or personal servants. Alice leaned back and stared at the sky as she idly twirled a strand of her hair around her finger.

Are Unversed really that interesting?

.:Why, do you want an Unversed for yourself?:. Cúchulainn sneered, a lazy chuckle building up in his throat.

Alice rolled her eyes as she pushed away from the railing; Alys spinning forth to hover by the animator's head. Maybe. I'm sure whoever I create would be better than you, Alice mused quietly. Either way, the Unversed were something new... something to be looked into for possible future use, if Alice cared enough for them.
