[ Jafar ; ??? : Land of Dragons : Throne Room ]
"Not so fast, peasant!" Jafar sneered, pointing his staff in Cloud's direction, his airy tone revealing that he'd predicted such an attack. The eyes gleamed red, and there was a brief bolt of magic that joined the two sets of eyes. Cloud relaxed, landing midway to Jafar... and stood there, slowly turning toward the group, his eyes glowing the same shade of red.
"Surely, you didn't think things were over that quickly, hmm?" Jafar taunted, looking down at the group below, a smirk growing across his lips. Cloud took a battle position, blade in hand as he began to step down toward them, acting as Jafar's bodyguard. "That was just the beginning! Now you shall bear witness to my phenomenal cosmic-"
"Cease this at once."
A powerful blast of white-and-black energy suddenly appeared, destroying Jafar's scepter from the back of the group. The Arabian schemer gasped in shock as the scepter slowly vanished; as it did, his own body, from his feet upward, began to turn themselves into pyreflies.
Jafar had been dead, and the scepter had been his only connection to the living.
The hearts of the guards were freed, floating into the air slowly as Jafar turned to glare at the attacker, who was none other than Seymour Guado.
"You wretched filth! Why do you continue to pester me?!" Jafar shouted, knowing all too well that he was defeated; Hades' deal had said the moment his staff was destroyed, his soul would return to the Underworld. "First in Agrabah with that airship, and now here! Why do you help them?!"
"That is none of your concern," Seymour proclaimed, holding out his free hand, the sickly-long fingers outstretched to reveal his palm, which seemed to glow with a brief energy. "Banish."
Jafar's entire form erupted into Pyreflies at once with a single, furious scream of defiance... and he was gone.

[Joseph: HT -> HT/BC: Pit -> Outside Train]
Joe had gripped Rae closer to him when the roof caved in. Natural defense, towering over the shorter girl to take the brunt of the possible damage...but of course, after shutting his eyes, nothing happened.
A lot of nothing seemed to happen to him, really. Especially when he closed his eyes....maybe he should brace for more stuff like that?
Of course, Rae snapped him out of by speaking. When opening his eyes, Joseph realized they were safe (relatively) and by the train. Which, of course, brought on the mother hen side of his personality.
After looking over Rae, including lifting one of her arms and poking her in the side, he deemed her okay, save for the tears. After a quick hug, reassurance, and wipe away of her tears, the male ran off, checking on everyone else to see if they were alright. Which was stupid, cause they ALL needed a rest, not to run around and see who needed more rest or not...

{James : Halloween Town : Oogie's Pit -> Outside the Train}
James continued to stand as still as he could next to the Enchantress as the entire place pit continued to shake more and more. The shaking itself almost enough to knock him off of his feet. His sharpened hearing easily picking u on the horrified scream as Oogie was apparently smashed by a giant boulder that fell.
'That will be our fate soon if we don't get out of here!'
'Have faith in the Enchantress. She will get you all out of there.'
Just as the Lunar Wolf finished saying that there was a bright flash of green light that forced the corsair to shield his eyes from it and then everything seemed to come to a stop, clean air rushing into his nostrils and when he removed his arms from his eyes he saw they were back outside in front of the train.
"A little worse for wears but I'm here."
The corsair replied as he looked around, he was glad to see the train again. The maze and being underground had caused him to lose track of time.
"How long were we under ground anyway?"
{Auron : Halloween Town : Oogie's Pit -> Outside the Train}
Auron remained still and calm as the area continued to collapse around them. He had faith in the Enchantress for some reason that she would be able to get them out and it was confirmed as the green flash forced him to close his one eye. He looked around as the light cleared and noted that their attire was back to normal and they were outside the train.
"Well that was interesting."
{General Li Shang and Leon : Land of Dragons : Throne Room}
Leon was very glad that he was against the wall as the tornados died down only to be replaced by the flaming geysers that erupted from the floor near where Kurt Zisa was. The geysers thankfully died away not long after and suddenly he watched in semi-amazement as Amy unleashed an incredibly powerful attack that finally destroyed the annoying Heartless. He turned his attention then to Jafar as he stood there before all of them.
Shang on the other hand was in a much worse predicament. As the tornadoes died away he fell onto the floor just as the flaming geysers erupted all around him.
"Aaah!"
He yelled out in pain as one of the geysers erupted right next to him, burning his right arm badly his sword fell out of his hand with a clatter as the geysers died away and he fell to his knees from the pain, his left hand clutching his arm. His vision blurred from the pain as Amy's Crystal Shot finally destroyed the Heartless. The general felt like has about to pass out as Jafar was defeated by Seymour.
Leon raised his gunblade at Jafar and prepared to follow suit as Cloud charged in only to be taken control of and then suddenly defeated by a man who appeared out of nowhere. He lowered his gunblade somewhat as he approached the man.
"Who are you and why did you help us?"

[Alice :: "The Gorge"]
Alice stared apathetically at Cory, a sense of disgust filling up inside her. Yes, the Revblade user was an original but it did not make him any stronger. After all, he was not even able to defeat the heartless before they got there. And she most certainly did not enjoy being called some second rate 'wannabe' to their originals. The former undead could learn a thing or two about thinking before speaking if he wanted her to continue sticking around.
The animator crossed her arms, looking to Cory with a glare before a slow, cynical smile crossed her lips as if she had just found the whole thing funny. "Watch your tongue, as arrogant of a p***k he might be, he would be able to crush you in a second."

[[ This is basically Qareen's first post in a nutshell. It's late and I'm tired and Kyle really needed this, sooooo.... Bon appétit ^^.... Try not to die from food poisoning... ._. ]] [ The Flying Dutchman | Hull | Outside The Captain's Quarters ] "Stupid #$&#xsu;cking mother@#$&#xin;g @#$%s..."
Her savage mutter echoed through the slimy, putrid corridor. Aeons of filth crusted the walls, bejeweled with barnacles and decaying crustaceans.
Which was exactly why she hated it.
The freakshow stalked down the sickening passage, her glare potent enough to scare away a handful of the Dutchman's repulsive, detestable, birdshit-laden Crew.
Which was exactly why she hated them.
Overall, Qareen's disposition was rather bleak; or rather, bleaker than usual.
"This... Is... MADNESS!!" she bellowed. You could almost hear her mind snap, though 'could' being the keyword in that sentence, considering that, by the time you were close enough to hear, you would've already drawn your last breath. "WRAAAAAAGGH!!" she shrieked, expelling a violent surge of power in all directions, shattered the mossy planks and releasing goodness knows what bacteria and fungi into the air.
"AJORA, THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH I CAN TAKE," she barked, barging through the (equally disgusting) doors.
Hmmm. Interesting. It would seem that the layers and layers of gunk that lined the entire ship supported it more than the actual framework. "WHEN ARE WE GETTING THE @#$% OUT OF HERE?"

[ Ajora : PR : The Flying Dutchman : Captain's Quarters ]
"Ah, ma cherie, just the fiend I wished to see," Ajora spoke, smiling stood to his full height and walked over to the Replica with a seemingly genuine smile. A simple Gargoyle had been beside him, though it had odd stitch-ings all around, like some sort of Frankenstein monster. "You want out, and I have a job that requires you to... well, get out!"
"I'd go myself, but then I realized you've yet to interact with the obsolete ones yourself- such a shame, really," he explained, his last few words having a touch of melodramatic flair. "See, our dearest, most useless Arabella is abooooout to be discovered as the fake she is. And alone, she'll be trampled."
"As much as I would love to see her kick their a** before dying painfully, she will have her uses here first," he said, by this point having gotten close enough to put an arm around Qareen's shoulders, as if to pull the girl closer for some scheme. "She's likely hiding in the train, so we can't get her until she comes out. So, what I'll need you to do is wait for her to come out, preferably watch for a bit as they corner her, and then... well, kidnap her, basically. Shouldn't require much effort at all, considering the woman's lack of talent in, well... anything. Except acting, it seems- such a wretched thing managed to seem so docile for so long, I'm rather amused."

[Cory .:. HT .:. The Gorge]
The ronin grinned in Alice's direction before saying, "Probably, if it was possible for him to catch me. And besides that, I was speaking about potentials, not current levels of power. The unfortunate side effect of accepting Darkness into your heart means you've hit a ceiling. The level of power that joker's at is as strong as he is going to get, whereas originals like myself can keep climbing too new levels of power. It's only a matter of time before that train of idiots becomes more powerful than the replicas." He began to walk towards Alice, and as he walked past her he couldn't help but add, "And why defend that clown? Do you feel you need to because you're not an original? Since when did you lump yourself in the same boat as those wannabes? I don't know any Earthling with powers likes yours, except maybe Kyla. And she has a replica. If you are a replica, Alice, then you are a truly unique one that has developed her own power and possibly even her own summon. Wouldn't that make you more of your own person than a replica?" He continued on towards the edge of the gorge before stopping and summoning a Dark Portal.
"I will make my way back to the train and wait there for the losers. What you two do right now is your own business, but try to make it back to the ship in one piece. Alice can handle herself, but Heartless will be attracted to your heart, Timmy. I'll see the both of you soon." With that, he entered the portal and vanished from the Gorge.
[Cory .:. HT .:. Train Roof]
"How long were we underground anyway?"
Cory sat on the edge of the roof of the train, grinning at the familiar voice. "Oh, I dunno. I was waiting outside that sewer to see if anyone would come out for about ten minutes, so we can at least say... Ten minutes? So how's my favorite group of goody-two-shoes? Exhausted, I hope, because I would really hate to be attacked right now. Y'see, I got this really bad crick in my neck, and having to fight would just really be a pain." He jumped down from the train and looked around before adding, "Not here to fight or piss anyone off, even though just being here would incite both. Just looking for Zee."

[[Louis : BC : Outside The Train]]
Louis felt a little uneasy, an aftershock he suspected of using so much of his powers at one time. With his inexcusable disregard of the darkness, throwing it down every individual hallway of the maze making his way through, the rampant use of his portals throughout the battle, then still suffering from the wounds of his encounter with Ajora. It all had him a little light headed, and heavy hearted as though his chest was weighed down by bricks.
Louis strolled, if it could be described as that, over to the train and leaned his back against it, sliding down to the snow covered ground, taking a handful of it as he did and crunching it in his grip.
He listened to the voices, different conversations and comments, questions, and finally, interruption. Louis lifted an eyelid to look in the newcomers direction. His immediate reaction being, CORY?! Damn it! Why does Seymour have him here now? Couldn't he let me be and work my own assignment for more than 5 minutes?
As Cory's conversation went on, Louis' eyebrow rose with the eyelid, What's he talking about? I don't remember this having anything to do with Seymour's plan. What good would meeting with Valefore's summoner bring? On a side note... where did those scars go? Did they just go away, or Did Seymour cast something to cover them up? He looks totally different from before, but there's no mistaking him.
Louis continued to stay quiet and observe, closing his eye again and leaning back in order to relax and listen.

[Jenny :: BC :: Outside Train]
Jenny ran her hand through her hair as it the motion somewhat calmed her mind. After all, almost being smushed into human color paste made her mind a little quesy. It was then she noticed a different song, her head snapping to the top of the train to see Cory. She watched as he jumped down onto the ground looking for the young girl. Jenny half smiled as she looked to Zee who still stood by Kyle. Is he looking for his wallet? The flutist smiled to herself before sticking her hands in her pocket, knowing that Cory didn't mean any harm-
"Owwie!" The mage muttered to herself, quickly snatching her arm back out. Something had poked her! In her pocket! She reached in, tentatively this time and pulled out the pair of daggers. I completely forgot! Jenny turned around, glancing left and right until she spotted Louis. She walked over and crouched down, he looked tired... of course he was tired. "Hey, are you alright? I forgot to return these to you... with the falling rocks of doom and what not," The black hair teen half murmured with a smile as she held out the daggers in her open palm.

[Alice :: "The Gorge"]
The animator remained silent as Cory spoke, was he trying to cheer her up? Or throw compliments her way? Sincere? Or did he know that she was thinking about leaving? Her back remained turned though she turned her head and looked with a rather bemused expression as Cory disappeared into the portal. She could've laughed but she remained silent, finally turning to look at Timmy.
"Oh goodie, free time. I'm in the mood for snow cones, how about yourself?" Alice said sarcastically as she looked to Timmy with a wry smile.

ɀ·ვ·ს·მ ჱ ღ Beast's Castle | Outside Train :.
Clutching the arm that Kyle had draped around her shoulders, Zeba leaned onto the Holy Knight's side, thankful for the support. Even though she hadn't played the most 'active' role in the battle, the sheer stress of it was comforting, though the sudden disappearance of the nervous knot in her stomach seemed alien to her. Odd as it were, the overwhelming calm wasn't unwelcome; rather, Zeba hoped to make the most of it while it laste-
Oh great.
"She's not here," the ninja told herself (ie. in her mind) instantaneously, pulling out of Kyle's grasp and hiding behind him, out of sight. Thank goodness for the difference in their sizes. "Pssst. I'm not here," she whispered - practically inaudible - applying a little pressure to the swallow-wielder's side to convey the message.
She was on a buzz. She was happy. She wanted to relax with her friends for a bit. Eat some hotdogs. And there was no way she could do any of that if she met with the one person she couldn't help but argue with. There were other times for that; times when she is angry or pissy or notlikehowshewasnow.
Fragments of their last dispute rang loud and clear through her mind. Augh. Talk about buzzkill..:/ The Flying Dutchman | Captain's Quarters ] "Where the @#$% is the b@#$%?" Qareen asked scarcely after Ajora had finished his little tirade. Anything to get out of this stinkin' hellhole. And to get him off her.
His touch - anyone's touch - was uncomfortable, but not foreign. If he was anyone else, he would've been missing an arm right about then, but alas. He, well... To be point blank, he freaked the s**t out of her.

[ Ajora : PR : The Flying Dutchman : Captain's Quarters ]
"She's on the path between Halloween Town- where we woke up- and Beast's Castle, where you were of absolutely no help," he reminded her, smiling just as genuinely as before. He didn't seem to care about the matter; just that he wanted to bring it up. "The original Rae was just brought back, so there's bound to be confusion pretty soon. Taking advantage of the chaos would be the best option."
[ Kyle ; Sora : HT/BC : Outside Train ]
Kyle groaned as he heard the all-too-familiar voice of the Rogue Ronin, feeling Zeba slip behind him in a blur and mutter something about not being here. He caught on easily enough, looking toward Cory with a relatively weary-yet-apathetic look.
"She's not with us-" he began, shrugging lightly as he did so, only to be cut off.
"She got left in the pit?!" Sora shouted, glancing toward Kyle with a look of sheer terror, only to receive an annoyed glare in return.
"Nevermind. I didn't see her," he muttered, rolling his eyes as he stepped aside, but never more than a foot or two from the girl. "Make it quick, we've had enough of idiots for one day."
"Oh, thank goodness, you're all back!" came a cheery voice from the train as a young girl exited the lounge car dressed in white mage garb. "I was so... uh..."
Rae's eyes locked with Rae's.
The both shrieked. Before anyone had a chance to react, the one that had been rescued immediately ran to Joe's side; the one that had come from the train responded by summoning her boomerang and charging at the 'impostor'. "Get away from him, you fake!"

Cory grinned as Zeba came into view, but was shortly cut off by Rae shouting. He turned to see two of them, and could only sigh. Things are about to get soap opera stupid over here, I really had better make this quick. He turned his attention back to his "sis" and held his hand out to her.
"Zee, I need my wallet. If you're still wanting to keep it for yourself, I at least need something inside."

Sighing at Sora's cluelessness, Zeba straightened her shoulders and stared straight ahead at Cory and the train. "Yo...." she mumbled meekly, twiddling her fingers and shuffling her feet. "What u- oh... Well, I'd like to keep it, but if you need just the one thing than I-HOLY CRAP RAE HASSAN IDENTICAL TWIN?!!".:/ The Flying Dutchman | Captain's Quarters ] "Like you needed the help," she replied, her anger having sept away, leaving her tone impassive. She didn't seem to care about the matter either; she just wanted to bring it up.
Slipping out from under his arm, a dark portal manifested to Qareen's side, its smoky tendrils calling longingly for her. "Won't be a few minutes," she informed him, her timbre just as stolid. And with that, she was off.

Cory facepalmed before becoming covered in the Indomitable Will. "Zee, seriously, I don't care if the Queen of England lifted her dress and an army of lobsters came out. At this point, nothing should be all that surprising. I'm trying to get out of here as soon as possible, and it's obvious that no one else want me here. So how about we get this over with before I tip over the train again?"
