One of the civilians rescued fit the description of Adelle le' Agathe, a redhead with blue eyes who wore a Swiss costume despite being French; then again, being on the border with the Swiss, it was inevitable that there would be some interchange. The Princess of Heart would then say to Tocsax, who had been dispatching the Heartless immobilized by Seth with precise blows of his Keyblade:

[French: "They were coming for me, weren't they?"] the girl shook in fear.

"Don't worry," Tocsax would reply as he decapitated another Heartless, "we won't let them hurt you." He then looked at Drake, displeased that the man wasn't listening to what he said about the Heartless, and furthermore, was showing Heartless-based powers himself. Then suddenly -

"Enough of this." The voice was feminine, devoid of empathy. As Tocsax cast a Mass Barrier on everyone, a figure descended down from the sky, where a Corridor of Darkness had opened up. Said figure was a woman, with pale white skin, black hair, and golden eyes. She held a rapier in her right hand, and a dagger in her left. As she stomped her foot, the Heartless all disappeared in a puff of dark smoke.

"Hello there," said the woman, whom Seth can tell was a Nobody. "My name is Philippa le' Terre', and I am going to take your precious Princess of Heart away from you." A swipe of her Rapier, and suddenly, more portals opened, and two more people, a man and a woman, entered - Tocsax gasped; the woman was [i]also[/i] a Princess of Heart! Philippa smiled.

"Meet [i]Nate and Nora[/i]," everyone can see that the two were in body armor made of carbon-fibre and carried Gauss Rifles, a type of railgun that used electromagnetic forces to propel projectiles at immense speeds, punching through defenses with brutal force. "And, yes, [i]Toxy[/i], Nora's a Princess of Heart, one of the people you're looking for, and Nate is her husband. Kill them and you'll end up losing your quest. Not merely that, but if you try and capture or persuade them yourselves, we have their baby, [i]Shaun[/i], as our hostage, meaning that they will keep acting against you should you try nonfatal means of resolution."

"So, here's the riddle," Philippa was gloating, "how can you succeed in a fight where you're not supposed to kill or overly harm two-thirds of the enemy?"
