((Collab Post between Letter Bee and ShadowVentus)) Taka, having just made his way back unto the ship, decides that he needs to pass some time. What better way to do that than to spar? With this in mind, the hooded Nobody makes his way to the simulation room, eager to gain more strength. He enters the room, starting up the simulation by calling forth his keyblade. The room alters itself to how he sees fit, the room fading into black until only a circular white platform is left beneath his feet. As this happens, a digital copy of Taka is formed, acting as his makeshift opponent for this match. Now, all that can be heard is the swift clash of blades, a trained eye being the only thing that can fully monitor the fight that ensues. Suddenly, the simulation room would blink red, as the speakers shouted: "Intruder, Intruder!" going on lockdown. The Hologram of Taka would then change, transforming into a hologram of a man wearing a long set of robes, a turban, and curved shoes. His skin was brown and his beard and hair were white as snow, with the former going down in a wispy white trail. He was somewhat fat, but not obese. He would look at Taka, skepticism mixed with scorn in his eyes. "Tocsax has earned the [i]right to be[/i], but you have not worked towards it at all. Even worse, I know where you came from, I know who you served, and unlike Tocsax, I see no reason to believe that you've rebelled against them and become your own person." Constructs of light then began forming all around Taka, triangular and square panes of light forming into giant guns and spinning blades. "So now, I must test you. Do you, or do you not want to [i]be[/i]?" "If you truly know all of that about me...why don't you explain to me just who I am, then?" Taka inquires before opening up a Corridor of Darkness on top of himself, allowing him to move out of range of the surrounding attack. However, instead of appearing to the side or simply right next to the new hologram, he appears above it, keyblade pointed at the platform. "Then again...what could you possibly know about a Nobody like me?" Taka releases a wave of Ragnarok shotlocks at the area below him, shattering the platform with the power pakced behind the shots. Hakim's hologram would just float, the platform's destruction sparking no reaction from him. Nor would it cause his constructs to fall. Instead, the man would just say: "You are a Nobody of one of Mai's old friends, the original Taka. Leo took you to his lair and fed you a bunch of bullshit about giving you back your Heart, not realizing that you can develop it by yourself. He then sent you to infiltrate this group and give Mai and Tocsax to him." Simple and curt. Hakim would then point at Taka, then say: "Dimensional Anchor!" and a wiggling beam of green light would strike Taka at the speed of well, Light, which was hopefully instant. Taka would then find himself unable to teleport or form a Corridor of Darkness. Hakim then leaned in close to him. "So now, young Nobody, what will you choose? Evolution, or Death?" Upon hearing this information, Taka just...stops. He had made no attempt to move out of the way or somehow repel it, for this sudden leak of information about his identity stirred something within him, a dark aura forming about him. "Evolution...Death....what difference does it make...this world deserves nothing more than to be drowned in darkness...and I'll begin by destroying YOU!" the possessed Nobody exclaims, speeding towards Hakim, switching into his Command Style: Twilight Blade formation. However, the dark aura emanating from him corrupts the swords of Light, turning them pitch black along with the rest. Hakim's constructs respond, four spinning blades of light made from triangular panes clash with Taka's swords of darkness, while the same number of giant holographic guns began firing balls of pure light at the possessed Nobody. "So at last comes the time for revenge, False Hakim, Leo's Nobody! For impersonating me and casting me into the Realm of Darkness twice, you deserve nothing, nothing but death!" But for now, he would allow his constructs to do his fighting for him... "Hahaha...please. You seem to forget that as long light exists, darkness shall always remain. This boy is nothing more than a vessel. If anyone is to fall during this battle, it shall be Taka!" As the constructs clash with Taka's blades, cracks begin forming within them, False Hakim's darkness spreading its corruptive properties. As for the incoming light projectiles, he takes them head on, inclined to prove to Hakim that he won't be the one taking damage. These full on blasts of light send him hurtling downward slightly, his hood slowly falling back as he rights himself, revealing the trademarked white hair, eerie yellow eyes, and malicious grin. Hakim the Wise grit his teeth. "If Taka doesn't have the strength to break your grip, then he clearly lacks the will as well as the right to live. So..." he raised his voice, "TAKA! WAKE UP! Drive out the person possessing you if you want to stay alive!" "Heh, you really think that will work? Not only is he shrouded in darkness, but you also have no connection with him, no sort of bond. No matter how loud you believe yourself to be, this dog of the light is now under MY command. Begone!" Keyblade pointed straight at Hakim, a volley darkness-corrupted Ragnarok blasts are fired at him. In response to this, Hakim the Wise merely created a solid, oval barrier of pure light that deflected the Ragnarok shots, before he would say: "Do not forget who taught you before you split yourself, False Hakim! Foolish as I was, I didn't teach you all my tricks!" Creating his own Corridor of Darkness, he would pull out a broken Katana..a Katana False Hakim would recognize from Taka's memories. "This belonged to the original Taka," Hakim the Wise then caused the sword to glow, the cracks on the blade reknitting themselves together as said blade itself grew back to its original size and shape, while the hilt was as good as new again. As the blade floated up, lifted by telekinesis, Hakim the Wise's hologram would say: "If Taka doesn't wake up when cut by his Somebody's blade, I will have to doubt his willpower more than I do already." He would then send the katana slicing at False Hakim/Taka! "No..I won't allow this! He shall forever remain within this nightmarish abyss!" A look of surprise quickly turns into anger. Utilizing blades of darkness, he forms a shield against the incoming blade. However, as if willed by Taka himself, the katana slams into the makeshift shield, quickly forming cracks throughout the entire surface. Soon enough, the newly formed blade pierces through False Hakim's defenses. It lands right where the Nobody's heart should be, False Hakim letting out an angry yell as he staggers backward. "How...how did you break through...? You're supposed to be...within a deep slumber...never to have awoken....and yet...ugggh..." Letting out a groan, Taka's body slumps over as the aura of darkness begins to evaporate around him, False Hakim being forcefully separated from Taka's body! His face reverts back to normal, his eyes now void of light, for his heart and mind have now undergone immense damage. He begins to plummet, down towards another platform further below. "No...my vessel...I won't let it escape...!" False Hakim races towards the falling Taka, hoping to recover his freshly discarded body. But it was too late; Hakim the Wise - not his hologram, but the actual body of the Vizier, would emerge from a Corridor of Darkness to intercept False Hakim, glowing brightly with gold-white light as his portal dissolved. "Taka has a provisional right to live now, so just as I once sought to destroy him, now I seek to [i]protect[/i] him!" Hakim would then jab his middle and index fingers at False Hakim, then say: "BEGONE!" and a wave of bright light would come forth from his hand, catching False Hakim in full... "NOOOOOO! I...will...RETURN!" Uttering his seemingly final words, False Hakim disappears, evaporating upon being bathed in the light. In the meanwhile, Taka, still impaled by his own katana, safely lands unto the platform, a gust of wind softening his landing. Hakim would cradle him, before setting him down on the floor, (Edit: pulling out the sword before) casting a 'Curaja' at Taka, and then disappearing...
