"Well, this is a surprise," Angus quipped. "It seems that Rani has failed in her task, again." Joshua would remember the Seeker of Darkness who had tried to take Amaya; a woman in a black cloak and hood, who held a Keyblade like his', only said Keyblade, in addition to being a key, had [i]sitar strings[/i] attached to the shaft - sitar strings that were used to summon clones made up of water.

More confirmation that this was the enemy, then. 

However, affirming that he was an enemy wasn't just Angus acting evil for little reason; that was for other occasions. Rather, Angus was trying to draw attention to himself, before Msizi, using his own black-and-purple Keyblade, sent out a wave of poisonous gas at the young man, before turning his attention back to Tocsax.

Tocsax, in question, had taken in Joshua and Amaya's entrance, seeing in it opportunity, and danger. He too, took advantage of the Zulu's momentary focus on Joshua, getting several hits into the older man's flak jacket and military wear. Msizi took the hits with a look resembling...pride? before finally parrying Tocsax's blow, and then [i]breathing[/i] poison onto the young boy, who reached out with his left hand and ignited said poison with a Dark Fire, causing an explosion that threw them both back, although it seemed that both were undamaged...much.

Angus, meanwhile, took advantage of Msizi's attack on Joshua to launch four chains from his hand in conjunction with the wave of poisonous gas; said chains glowed with Thunder, Sleep, Dispel, and Light.

The Dispel Chain would destroy magical barriers like Shell and Protect, assuming that it struck. The Light Chain would blow through non-magical protection; Angus didn't know Joshua had Dark Barrier, but he assumed that the Light Chain would blow through an ordinary block, even if it was with a Keyblade. The Thunder Chain would stun, while the Sleep Chain would tranquilize; it was twice as strong as the Thunder Chain.

Of course, Joshua can simply avoid them, but the chains would still follow the 21-year old. One chain, however, one without enchantments, would slowly crawl towards Amaya...she can notice it, and take countermeasures, or not notice it, and get taken hostage. Alternatively, Mach or Henry can see the chain while fighting the Darkside, and warn her.

Speaking of Mach, Henry, and the Jupiter Darkside, those three would still be in melee, as the Darkside would resume trying to pummel them both, now accompanied by Shadows. Mach would feel a burning, but comfortable heat into his Heart for a moment, before hearing a voice saying:

[i]No, not time yet.[/i] It didn't take a genius like him to infer that the voice was referring to his' getting a Keyblade. He also had a choice; either one, go along with it, or two, [i]demand[/i] that the voice give him a Keyblade, now!
