It seemed that the group's teamwork had improved; Ascot and Belle moving in tandem to slowly break King Candy. Of course, the villain would not be defeated without a fight, and he swiftly counterattacked, directing his efforts at Ascot, who, still hasted, carefully dodged the glowing claws, although he was running out of techniques. That meant that he was going to have to use his sword skills. His Keyblade slashed and struck from unepected angles, while his free hand cast Fira, his remaining spell. If King Candy struck again, the boy would use Reflara, all the while positioning himself between the enemy and Ralph. He then noticed; Holy did have an effect on King Candy; perhaps that technique was useful after all!
