No sooner had his request been fulfilled that two cloaked villains entered the scene through what looked like an identical portal to the one Tocsax liked using. He could tell they were villains because... well they were about as subtle as an anvil being dropped. Pitch black cloaks, hoods that hid their faces in shadow. The guys may as well have been wearing neon signs that read, 'We're the bad guys, come beat us up'. And the armored genius would have done just that, except the Scottish one (who, just to be as stereotypical as possible, was named Angus) lunged at Jupiter, running her through with his... wait was that a [i]Keyblade[/i]? This guy, who was seriously like something out of a cheesy, Saturday-morning Cartoon, was a wielder of the freaking Keyblade, but the more-or-less heroic Mach didn't get to be one? Talk about unfair!

Unfortunately, his immediate thoughts distracted him enough that it was too late by the time he noticed that the lumbering Heartless they summoned was going after him first, "Oh sh-" he put up an energy shield as quick as he could, and while it prevented the impact from doing any serious damage to his suit, it didn't stop the actual force of the impact from knocking him flat on his ass, only after flying through the air a few feet. Unharmed, thanks entirely to his armor and energy shield, Mach staggered to his feet, surprised and partially winded, "Okay... next time... I'm wishing for a million dollars." he said, the irony of his tempting fate not lost on him.

He heard the Princess, who still hadn't told any of them her name, mention something about being able to fix Jupiter if she could touch the lumbering Heartless she was transformed into. Well, that was nice and all, but the problem was going to be the actual act of getting the Princess in contact with the thing without getting killed in the process. Another fact that wasn't lost on him was that the big heartless could very well have been functioning like an over-sized puppet the two cloaked jerks were controlling, so one had to wonder if the smarter strategy wasn't simply to 'cut the puppet's strings' as it were. Mach might have acted on this, but then yet another portal randomly opened up, and two more strangers came literally tumbling through it.

"And now apparently [i]this[/i] is happening..." he quipped to himself, then noticed the two, one a boy and the other a girl, conversing in what definitely sounded like Japanese. Thankfully, Japanese had become just as predominant of a language as English where he came from, so Mach actually did understand them for the most part. So he tried saying something to them in Japanese, "Don't suppose I could trouble you for some help here? I... may have... jinxed this on us and I'll feel pretty guilty if this goes South 'cause of me." he sure hoped his Japanese didn't sound too rusty.
