Welcome to Gaia! ::

[ Kyle ; Sora ; Oogie : HT : Oogie's Pit ]

As Jenny began to play, Kyle tensed, eyes wide. he didn't mean for her to start now! If Oogie noticed, he'd freak out, he was sure to hear the flute's song-

"-But see, the little witch was already so drained, apparently, so she was totally useless-"

Kyle heaved a small sigh of relief- the bag of bugs was so full of himself that he was talking over the music. Good, that would give them a little extra time to coordinate, but not long.

"Alright, as Jenny prepares that," Kyle whispered into the charms, glancing over to find the others, namely Joe, their muscle. "I'll need the rest of the guys to be ready. Sprint over once Oogie is stopped and push the cauldrons from underneath them. Zeba, once the cauldrons are far enough away, you and Valefor should use your energy beams to saw through the top bars of the cages so that they'll fall to the grou-"

"My, that's curious- what's happening to the cauldrons?"

Kyle's face froze in horror as Jack Skellington pointed out the movement of the cauldrons, catching Oogie's attention. Of course, he'd completely forgotten to fill in the skeleton king! He didn't have a charm, he had no idea what was going on-

"W-WHAT?! STOP, STOP THIS-"

"NOW SORA!" Kyle shouted, beginning his dash toward the cauldrons-

"STOPGA!"

A black sphere suddenly encompassed Oogie, with the sound of ticking clocks slowing to a halt filling the air. Oogie had just begun to jump up in outrage- frozen in midair, the counterweight raised just an inch to catch up to him, lowering the cages all the closer- just in time, however. Sora took a deep breath- he hadn't pulled off a spell of that caliber in ages.

"James, Bobbi!" Kyle shouted, knowing they would catch the cue. Even with Oogie stopped, nobody know how long it would last- he was a boss-level opponent, after all, in the original games he wasn't even susceptible to Stop, so this was a miracle in itself. Kyle was not take any chances.

Having already been rather close to the cauldrons, Kyle was one of the first to arrive, getting behind the one underneath the Enchantress and slowly pushing it away from the wall; even Floating, it was heavy as hell, moving inch by inch. He'd need someone else, since he wasn't that strong to begin with, and with Sora spent from the Stopga spell, he was hoping for Joe or Louis to jump in.

[Joseph: HT: Oogie's Pit]

Joe didn't know what pulled him out of his internal conflict. It could've been the air wavering around the cauldrons. It could've been Kyle telling him to push the cauldron. But it wasn't really either of those...

It was when Oogie jumped, and even though stopped, it was that little bit of movement from the cages that got the male's attention.

Joseph was immediately snapped into action, dashing forward and shoulder against the cauldron beneath Rae, pushing against it as hard as he could. Had to save someone. Had to move the acid. Had to do SOMETHING!

{James : Halloween Town : Oogie's Pit}

James nodded his head in silent understanding to Kyle's words as he ran the grand scheme by everyone. There were a lot of elements to this plan and if one went wrong awry then potentially all of them could... James sighed in agitation as it seemed Oogie was quite content to just run his mouth while they schemed. James heard Jenny's acknowledgement and remained silent as she began to play the music, Oogie's monologue thankfully drowning it out mostly although the corsair would have much rather heard the pretty flute playing then the bag of bugs voice. His attention turned to the cauldrons as they began to float...

That was when things started to go awry as Jack Skellington commented on the cauldrons. He had apparently not been cued in on the plan. At that moment thankfully was when Sora casted the Stopga spell, freezing Oogie and finally shutting the bag of bugs up.

"James, Bobbi!"

Kyle shouted out, the cue the corsair had been waiting to unleash the Ice Shot to freeze the scales in place.

"Hai!"

He called out, Japanese for yes, as he made sure that his angle was right. He would probably only have one shot at this and he had to make it count. He made sure he and Mizu were on opposite sides so that their separate blasts of ice would slam into the center and freeze the mechanism entirely. At least that was the hope... Checking one last time he raised the Ice Card high into the air with his left hand.

"Ice Shot!"

He called out as he felt the chilling energy run through his body as it ran down from the card and into the barrels of his hexagun. He closed his left eye as he focused down the line of the barrels and pulled the trigger. The loud blast from the gun followed by unique shimmering effect of ice crystals as it flew through the air and hit the center of the mechanism, causing a thick build up of ice on the side that he had fired at.

"Mizu go!"

{Auron : Halloween Town : Oogie's Pit}

Auron was lost in thought as he heard Kyle's plan. He would not question the intentions though, he couldn't hear anyone aside from Kyle but still from what he could hear the gist of the plan was to stop Oogie Boogie and win in his twisted game. He heard the blast from the hexagun as it froze the mechanism on the side he fired at. As he watched Kyle begin to push he stuck his katana in the ground and moved next to Kyle. His muscles tensed as he began to push with the Swallow wielder to move it.

{General Li Shang and Leon : Land of Dragons : Throne Room}

This fight was getting old... It seemed no matter how much they threw at him he could just throw more right back at them all. He suddenly noticed he was glowing slightly with a familiar green light and he noticed his strength and energy returning. He turned to Amy noting that she was the source of the spell and nodded his head in acknowledgement and appreciation. He then turned his attention back to the Heartless. Right as he got off another Fire spell he was suddenly swept off of his feet into one of the massive tornados. He stayed in the air for a few moments before the massive winds threw him into the wall of the Throne room.

"Gah!"

He yelled out in pain as he hit the wall and then slid down it onto the floor, his gunblade falling to the floor with a metallic clatter. He was glad he had been healed when he had been or that that would have been worse. He rose to his feet and picked up his blade. He looked at the situation as everyone else's attacks were getting thwarted due to the tornadoes and one of them was even on fire.

"How much more can this Heartless take..."

Even unable to do anything didn't prevent him from taking damage in this fight it seemed. He really wished right now that he had some kind of magic but he had none as he was swept up into one of the tornados. He was useless within the swirling vortex, the force so strong that he couldn't escape it.

"Whoa!"

He yelled out as one of the other tornados burst into flames. He was very thankful now that he hadn't got sucked into that one.

Bobbi's heart jumped out of her nose and kicked her in the face when she heard people talking. She looked around, and didn't see anyone nearby.

~:Try your charm, child,:~ Shiva suggested. Bobbi looked to her left wrist, where the Trinity Charm dangled innocently.

I have talking jewelry? Snap, she thought, having not been present when Merlin changed the charms to communication devices.

Now that she knew what the voices were coming from, she recognized the voices and understood what was required of her. She understood her part in the scheme right away, and she started moving along to the appropriate position. When she got the go-ahead, she loosed three ice arrows in succession to ensure her auto-Blizzard spell thingy actually worked.

One hit--freeze. Another hit--freeze. Final hit--freeze!

~:Good work.:~

Nanaki heard some of the children muttering amongst themselves, and listened in to the conversations a little. Unfortunately, he wouldn't be much use in pushing the cauldrons out of the way. Instead, he hung back as the children did their work, making sure Oogie didn't pull out any new, nasty tricks.





Riku was about to borrow one of the curse words he'd heard a few of the kids mutter when the tornadoes were unleashed, and Mushu subsequently lit one on fire. As the other two were blowing him about, he did his best to dodge the pillar of flames. Luckily, he managed to get to one current of air that sent him flying back into the nearest wall, but not without a cost. His head slammed against the wall itself, sending sparks dancing in front of his eyes and disorienting him for a few moments.

Still tingly from the electrical shocks, Demyx had a hard time moving to get out of the way of one of the tornadoes. The force of the winds shoved him backwards along the floor, and he wasn't stupid enough to try standing in the gales. Instead, he curled himself into a ball, letting the winds take him where they wanted--which was straight towards the fire-tornado.

OOOOOH CRAP!!!!! he shouted, and summoned a jet of water to try to douse the flames before he was burned to a crisp.

[ Kyle ; Sora ; Oogie : HT : Oogie's Pit ]

Luckily, Joe had Dawn to help him out; while he was one of their stronger allies, he alone could not have pushed the massive cauldron. Neither could Auron push the Enchantress' cauldron on his own, and he was clearly the strongest, physically.

{Cauldron DC : 15}

Regardless, the cauldrons were pushed out of the way, leaving a wide space for the cages to fall in the coming action. Oogie was still stopped, but in the midst of the shoving, a small ticking noise began to sound; it was almost inaudible, and there was only one 'tick' for every few seconds. But it slowly began to speed up, as if time had been stopped, and was slowly returning-

"Zeba! Valefor! Now!" Kyle yelled, dropping his arms to his side, both practically limp. Thank God for that Float spell; moving the cauldrons without that would have been literally impossible. "Cut them down! Quickly! We don't know if he has any other tricks!"

[Dawn : HT : Oogie's Pit]

Dawn watched as Joe pushed the cauldron with the help of her wind, which she had focused on the cauldron they were pushing. She felt her energy draining as it was being pushed.

'Come on, a little bit more,' she told herself as she concentrated her powers to give it one last push at the end.

Dawn fell to her knees, drained of energy. This was her first time using her wind to such an extent. Heck it was the first time she had ever used her magic, this and her jump before, of course she would be drained.

She sighed as she tried to get herself to get back into the grip of things. Dawn's eyes soon landed on the other group that had just got done with pushing the other cauldron.

'Good, I don't think, I could handle pushing a second one...' she thought as she looked up at Zeba, who was on the back of Valefor. She waited for the girl who had been cued by Kyle to make her move.
