Welcome to Gaia! ::

A figure hid in the shadows from above the scene of the fight, watching everything as if through a microscope, studying all the little specimens that were underneath. Kana had done his job and done it well. The whole group was in shambles and total chaos from the sudden attack. The King was incapacitated and the others' seemed to have lost their powers. He grinned a coolly evil grin at it all. The King, unable to move, Kairi, unaware of the drama yet because of another that had broken down in the street. Then things got really interesting. It seemed that a plan had been hatched in the air, because the Keybladers were now dive bombing straight towards where Sora was standing while the other seemed to be aiming for the King. It was an impressive tactic, but he wanted to test them, so with a gesture and a word he sent a blast of wind to intercept the plummeting fliers.

"King what are you doing!?" She said moving her sword just in time to parry the blow, she swiftly moved away from him. "What's going on!" She yelled at him and the approaching demons.

A strange and sudden pulsation startled the hidden figure, forcing him to step back before he lost his balance and fell. Wondering what that was that could emit such a feeling he looked around for the source. Looking back down the Kana he saw the King swinging wildly, as if hoping to catch his captor off guard, but Disney had utmost trust in Kana that he did not worry about the creature letting go. There was a brief internal struggle as he wondered if he should interfere somehow. With a grin he decided on a course of action, and with another gesture formed a sort of magic bubble around the arena, with the hopes that it would stop other interference, even Kana could use help now and again.

((I hope this isn't godmodding! Please forgive if it is.))

((I assume I'm in the magical force field of doom also? I always loved those things in the game. There was no escape for me or the enemy *Cackles*))
((FYI, My character is stronger than NORMAL people, but is probably just a match or less for the King and maybe Kya.))
The gust stop Zolx decent to the ground for a moment but he's wings were smaller so they caused less of a resistance. He landed as Akiko started Singing.

He saw musical notes emanating from her and floating all around the them. They began to dance around him and his face contorted. With his eyes squeezed shut he started to echo her in harmony until the the air around them shimmered. He opened his eyes and is face relaxed. The steely grey that was once there seemed to have divided between the two eyes, the left black, and the right white.

He jumped into the fray and parried the King before Kya could and grab the her Rapier with his bare hand. Blood streamed down his arm but his face remained a image of vacancy.He started vocalizing Akiko's thoughts and matching her words melodically.

"There are no barriers...that's why I keep tryin."
Zolx smash his key down against Mickey's and pressed down with surprising force.

What am I saying? Nobody would do that to someone. They love me. They do. And...why should I care if Sora and Riku and Kairi and Mickey think I'm a freak? I know who I am!
He let up from the first hit and aimed cross strike and the Kings head, first down then from left to right.

"The truth is, I'm hungrier than anybody else, even though I try and hide my messed-up feelings. Every morning I want to destroy this mirror that reflects my weak natural face."
Zolx, still holding the sword wretched it down trying to make Kya's wrist buckle.

"How true that is...I'm just a fake...too scared to show everyone what I really think about...because what I think about is stupid...messed-up... If they could hear my thoughts now..."
Unable to loose her grip he released it and slung his own blood into her eyes and came from the right with his own blade.

((Whew, I missed so much. Ah, I'll do my best to catch up.))

Kiante let go of Akiko when she answered her call from Mika. He was close enough to hear what they were saying, but something else was happening then. He looked back at the King, he was blown, or maybe pulled back by something.

Kiante looked more closely. He could see...something. He blinked, but wasn't sure there was anything there. He continued to look closely, but all he could tell was that something was off. He couldn't see anything conclusive.

Then he felt like something hit him in the chest. He fell to his knees, clutching his heart. He gasped and tried to catch his breath. His vision faded to darkness, he wasn't sure why. It might have been his lack of blinking. But something was wrong. He could barely breathe. He fell on his face then. He heard...a voice?

'Come now Kiante, you know you can't help her!'

"But...Akiko..."

'She doesn't care what you say. She doesn't care about you at all! You're too weak to help her!'

"N...no. I have to be-"

'What? Strong? Ha! You're a weakling! You couldn't help anyone! You're useless!'

"I'm...useless. You're right...I'm useless."

'That's right. So what are you wasting your time for? Just end it, give up and end it now!

"Yes...end it." Kiante muttered. He brought the point of his sword to his chest. The point was the only sharp part of the sword. It sat on his chest for a moment. He could see himself now, and the sword, but none of his surroundings. He took a deep breath, and prepared to impale himself. A moment before he acted, he saw something else. A star.

He heard words, a familiar voice this time, "Shine with hope, Star!"

The star created a shield in front of him. He came to his senses then. "What am I doing?!" He shouted. "That voice...that demon almost got me!" He closed his eyes again for a few moments, then opened them. Everything was back. Akiko was beside him, singing now. Riku was behind them. Mickey, Zolx, Kya, and...something else, were battling.

He could see things differently then. He saw wings on Zolx's back. He saw tendrils of darkness receding now. He saw a strange creature, it reminded him of a heartless, it was preparing to attack Kya. 'It must be what I almost saw before, the demon. Maybe I can see him now because of the attack. Or maybe it's Mika's star. Hmm...' Kiante thought to himself. "No matter, he's going down!" Kiante yelled, then started running for the group.

He hit something. A shield. They had created a barrier around the battle scene. He couldn't help them at all! He knew that the only way these barriers would dissipate is once the battle was over. The dome was huge too, he couldn't see the end. It was inbetween he and the train.

He banged on the dome a few more times, though he knew it was futile. He wondered if sound could get through. "Hey, Kya, can you hear me?!" He shouted.

Kya slapped his hand. "Go I will catch up, don't worry about me, I will be fine." She said smiling at Mickey as she drew her holy sword. "I don't know who you are, or what you know about my past, but you won't hurt my friends. I will protect them with my life." She said getting into a defensive position.

((When did you learn to fly? O.o))

"Wait--" Akiko froze. "They're still fighting?"

Oh, how selfish of me! I didn't even think about what they were still doing!

"We've gotta go see if we can help!" she begged Mika. She hated problems without solutions more than anything.

"Look, I can fight, and Mika, you can fight, and if we suck, well, we'll give some moral and spiritual support!" Akiko argued, picking up her staff.

She ran to the exit of the train and turned her head back to Mika. "So are you coming? Please say yes."

~~~

If there was one thing that Mickey had learned, it was to know when chivalry was useless. Here he could do nothing to help the angel, absolutely nothing. Kya was right in one way. He had to leave. But he couldn't help wondering if she would be able to catch up later...

Don't think like that. Have hope. Hope is what saved us. Hope is what will get us out of here.

With this slightly sentimentalist thought in his head, the King nodded to the boys. "Let's go," he said, and as he ran off to regroup with the others, he called, "Good luck!"

~~~

Kana grinned. "You don't remember, do you? Nothing at all? Ah, well, no matter. You'll protect them with your life? I'll take it then. It's not often you get an angel's heart presented before you so willingly. After you, it will be your long-lost sister...than I can go through you all, one weakling heart at a time."

He closed his eyes, willing the darkness of his former fallen brother to aid him in penetrating the impenetrable. Then he opened them and lunged for the Kya's chest with a dark knife that had suddenly appeared in his hand, all in one quick movement.
