[b]Dust[/b]

Dust watched as Blue began to give orders. When Aqua began to go into detail about everything she knew so far he listened carefully. Not long after the Atlantians arrived. It seemed that they knew Pixie, so much so that they didn't believe that Pixie had betrayed the Nimbats. Although it was then that everything quickly began to head south. One of the Nimbats gave in to darkness and with her turning so did many other Nimbats. It was at that moment an all-out attack. Black monsters came out of nowhere heading for the city, trying to break in while the dark nimbats were attacking everyone from within the city. Ahrah glowed and quickly spoke.

"This is far worse than I feared. Dust you must do everything in your power to save this City."

With that Ahrah became a golden colour. A golden aura surrounded Dust and his eyes opened wide. For a minute, Dust just stood there doing nothing until the golden glow disappeared. At that point, he slowly looked around.

"Oh no, this is bad. How has this happened?"

He held Ahrah tightly and took one last look around. The humans were too vulnerable here. If they weren't protected then they could easily turn into heartless. 

"Everyone who cannot fight, come over to me!"

He loudly used magic to make his voice heard throughout the City. As humans ran over to him he held out his hand creating a portal.

"This will take you all to the Usamimi Village. You will be safe there for a while."

Once everyone was evacuated he looked around again.

[b]Sky and Erik[/b]

Sky had noticed that Blue was taking over. She had to admit, he was a great leader. He was handling things so well. She was surprised when the Atlantians came over. Normally they kept themselves apart and didn't associate with the surface world. If they were here then she knew Atlantis was in serious trouble. Before she could dwell in that thought any more [b]Daigon[/b] came over to her asking her for a report. She opened her mouth to speak when all of a sudden Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. She heard Dust calling to anyone who couldn't fight. She had no weapon nor no magic. She knew she couldn't fight like this however she was not leaving this City. So, she did what she could to help gather anyone who couldn't fight including all the humans. She flew to Erik who by this point was standing up and looking around with worry in his eyes.

"Erik follow me, this way!"

Erik looked to Sky and then quickly nodded. He ran to her and Sky quickly grabbed him. She flew quickly to Dust and placed him down beside him. She continued to get anyone else who couldn't fight then once everyone was safe and only when everyone was safe she flew into the portal herself. 

[b]Sokolov, Xer, Aqua and Zooma[/b]

Sokolov, Xer and Aqua watched as Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. Sokolov looked around and saw a few of the monsters in a group outside. He nodded to Xer and quickly the two teleported over to them however before they could do anything one of the monsters turned to them.

"You two. I can sense the power radiating off you. You're not like the others are you? Unlike most of the beings here you actually have some magic in you."

Sokolov's eyes widened. He had never met a heartless that could talk before! This one was intelligent and that wasn't good. Suddenly Aqua ran up and summoned her Keyblade.

"Don't worry, I'll handle this one. It's rather weak compared to some of the others here. There's no need for us all to fight it."

The monster rose slowly and looked straight at Aqua.

"You are going to regret saying that. Underestimating me is the worse mistake you will ever make."

Aqua gasped a little and stood back. This wasn't a normal unversed. It could speak! This was like any unversed she had ever seen. Darkness surrounded Zooma and his eyes turned dark red. He held his hands out and they turned to razor sharp blades. Aqua quickly realised that this fight may be harder than she thought. This unversed had abilities that it shouldn't normally possess. Zooma landed on the ground and looked to Aqua.

"Go ahead, take your move."

As he spoke Sokolov placed his hand in front of her.

"Make sure you be careful. This one is different from the creatures that you or I know of."

Aqua looked to him then nodded. She jumped in the air and fired out three fireballs out of her keyblade straight at Zooma, she then did an air dodged to the side and fired out three ice balls. Sokolov held out his hand and shot out several light blasts while Xer screamed loudly, using the frequency that these specific heartless were weak to. Quickly Zooma zoomed forward, his right arm transformed into a hammer and with a quick spin he hit all three fireballs and sent them back at Aqua then he did the same with the ice balls. She quickly dodged the counter-attack. Zooma sunk into the ground so the sound magic wouldn't affect him then he popped back up shooting out of the ground. He began to emit a loud soundwave counteracting Xer's. With that, he landed on the ground.

"Is that all you got? Fine, then it's my turn."

He zoomed quickly towards Aqua going so fast that he was behind her in an instant. He went to slash at her back but she quickly protected herself with a large barrier. Zooma jumped back and laughed. He had to take them out one by one. His eyes turned yellow and slowly he looked around. He stopped on Nova and watched her a little before turning to Abyss then he turned back to the three. His eyes closed and the moment they closed he could sense Aqua rushing forward to attack him but he wasn't concerned about that. Not at the minute anyway. For now, he focused on the darkness around him. He could feel it. When Aqua was only inches away from him his body separated into darkness and reappeared away from her. He widened his stance and rose his arms. Two black dragons shot out of the ground and rushed at Aqua. It was Xer who jumped in the way and screamed at the darkness however this time it did nothing. Sokolov fired a light beam into the darkness evaporating it. As soon as the dark dragons gone so was Zooma. The three looked around when they heard something.

"I'm up here."

All three of them looked up to see that he had created a dark bomb. He threw it down quickly and it exploded sending all three flying back. Sokolov slowly got himself up and sighed.

"Fine, If this fight is going to be harder than I thought I guess I should fight seriously. Let's end this!"

Magic swirled around him quickly and Sokolov changed into his battle form. He held out his hand and summoned his staff. Zooma looked to the other two before looking back to Sokolov. He was the bigger threat. His magic was far stronger than the others. Sokolov closed his eyes, focusing on the darkness again. This time was different, however. He could see the entire battlefield. He watched Nova one more then he looked to Kuro and the clawed heartless, finally he opened his eyes again. By this time Sokolov had sent a powerful light wave at him followed by white lightning. He laughed and with that, he disappeared. 

"I gotta say, this is a huge learning experience for me."

He raised his hand and black meteors appeared out of nowhere. he swung his hand down and the meteors were quickly sent to Sokolov. He changed his arms to hands and did a few hand signs and the meteors doubled. After that, he wrapped them in darkness and the meteors disappeared. Sokolov quickly placed a light barrier around Aqua, Xer and himself however before either of them could do anything the Meteors shot up from the ground with darkness radiating off it. The light barriers were instantly destroyed and  Sokolov, Aqua and Xer took a powerful hit from them, as soon as the impact was made the meteors exploded in a vast vacuum of darkness creating a black hole which held all three in place. Aqua used her keyblade to teleport out of the Blackhole and then healed herself. Sokolov and Xer were also able to escape. Sokolov took a deep breath and sighed.

"This heartless is like no other. It's learning, and it's learning fast."

Zooma laughed and created five more of himself. Each clone zoomed at full speed, two at each person. Each pair span around the each of them creating a black vortex then the clones entered, making it impossible to leave. It was a closed off fight. Nowhere to run, however, Zooma was fair enough that the clones absorbed each other leaving each battle a one on one fight.

[b]Zooma and Aqua[/b]

Aqua knew that this heartless was far stronger than any she had faced before. She would have to be careful. She knew however that with a closed off area she would be at a disadvantage however she could still do this if she was careful enough. Zooma's eyes turned red again, waiting for Aqua to make a move. Aqua covered herself in magic and quickly began to spin around rapidly and approached Zooma. He laughed and copied her, running along the walls of the vortex in the opposite direction fast enough to cancel Aqua's attack he then jumped off the wall of the Vortex while she was stunned and slashed her as he jumped from one end to the other. He kept jumping back and forth slashing Aqua. She knew she wouldn't be able to take it for long and so used reflect again however the moment she did Zooma covered himself in darkness creating a piercing spike. He kicked off the wall as hard as he could and broke through her reflect spell and stabbed her in the process. She was sent flying back into the wall in which tentacles grabbed her holding her still. Zooma created two large dark bombs and threw them at Aqua, with her being unable to move they hit her easily and blew up in her face, as soon as they did she fell to the floor and dropped her keyblade. With that, the Zooma clone faded to darkness and the vortex disappeared.

[b]Zooma and Xer[/b]

Xer looked around before looking to Zooma. He knew that being divided wouldn't end well. They wouldn't be able to help each other and considering his sound powers were useless he could only rely on his psychic abilities. If he learned to adapt to those then this battle would end in Zooma's victory. He took a deep breath and sighed softly as Zooma's eyes turned red. He was waiting for him to make the first move. Xer ran forward covering himself in psychic energy. He jumped in the air and used his psychic energy to send himself flying at Zooma like a rocket. Zooma ran up the wall and jumped off, covering himself in darkness and used that to send himself flying directly at Xer. The two hit each other directly which caused a huge explosion sending the two flying back. Xer landed on his feet and started to breathe heavily. He then closed his eyes and let covered himself completely in psychic fire. He widened his stance and pressed hard onto the ground turning the entire floor to lava. Zooma looked down seeing it start to burn him, plus with the lava, there was no shadow on the floor that he could sink into. He looked up and he spun around rapidly. Soon his dark body changed becoming an inferno body instead. Xer backed away slowly. This monster could change its form to any element it wanted. Xer quickly sent out a psychic wave but with Zooma's fast speed he dodged it then rushed forward. He sunk into the lava and came out of the wall behind Xer. Quickly wrapping around Xer he began to burn him. Xer screamed loudly unable to escape. As Xer screamed more and more fire wrapped around Xer until his entire body was covered in flames then the entire flame armour that covered Xer exploded. Xer fell to the ground unconscious, Zooma stood there in flame form watching him before fading to darkness along with the vortex. 

[b]Zooma and Sokolov[/b]

Sokolov looked around and sighed. This was an impressive skill, he had to admit however he knew how to escape from it. He had no chance of beating this heartless on his own, not when it learned and adapted to his attacks. He watched as Zooma's eyes turned red. Sokolov rose his staff and quickly spoke up.

"I'm sorry but I won't stay here and fight you just to make you even stronger. I already know I can't beat you."

With that, a whirlwind surrounded him and he disappeared out of the dark vortex. He looked around quickly before sighing. So far, the odds were against them. Perhaps it was best to retreat before it was too late. With the heartless so powerful, it could easily take out more people, if not chase him down and defeat him. 

[b]Blue and Kat[/b]

Blue watched as Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. He looked around slowly until he saw a dark cat covered in runes. He flew at it and sent out a large energy blast. The heartless sunk into the ground and quickly went towards Blue. It then flew out and tried to scratch him. Blue flew back and placed his hand on the ground. The darkness bubbled underneath his paw and immediately white energy shot up from the ground shooting the cat's tail. The cat jumped back and looked behind it, seeing the tail regenerate. Then Blue placed his hands together and shot out another light blast at the heartless, however, just then the heartless's eyes went from black to yellow and quickly widened in shock. It froze for a second, looking around before quickly seeing the light blast coming straight at it. In an instant, it faded to darkness and reappeared away from it. After that, it looked around once more. Finally, its eyes focused on Blue.

"Oh no. This is bad."

He sunk into the ground again and travelled off quickly. Blue, utterly confused just flew there for a minute not sure what had just happened.

[b]Katnis, Kiwi, Palka and Raphi[/b]

Katnis watched as Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. She knew she couldn't do anything to help. She had no powers and she had access to no magic. So she had to do whatever it took to keep the children safe. She looked to Kiwi, Raphi, Palka and Ryiaroar. This was no place for them to fight. 

"You four, come with me quickly!

She led the four quickly to Dust and then looked to the four once again. 

"Go in the portal, you'll be safe in there."

Kiwi looked at the three brothers before turning back to Katnis again.

"But we can fight. We will be safe."

Palka was the next to speak.

"Yes, let us fight. Let us help."

Quickly Katnis shook her head.

"No, not this time. Go into the portal and stay safe. You'll get a chance to fight another time but for now, help everyone else out by keeping out the way. The fewer people we need to worry about the better."

Kiwi looked around before sighing and nodding.

"Okay fine. We'll go."

With that, she led the other three into the portal to the Usamimi Village. Katnis sighed, glad that the children would be safe now. With that, she went through the portal after them. 

[b]Prince Kuro[/b]

Kuro watched as Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. With no magic and only Ninjutsu to rely on Kuro knew he wouldn't be able to take on some of the more powerful monsters. He looked around until he saw a feline looking monster with razor-sharp claws. He wasn't sure how powerful it was but he was going to try and do something. He did a few hands signs and then bit his thumb. As he was doing this Yoruichi jumped on his shoulders.

"Kuro, you have to be careful."

Kuro nodded to her and smiled.

"Don't worry, I will be. Get to safety Yoruichi, I'll use my Ninjustsu to keep myself safe."

Yoruichi nodded and ran off towards Dust. With her gone, he could focus. He slammed his hand to the ground and shouted out loud. 

"Kajea I summon thee!"

[img]http://www.toptiertactics.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/guild-wars-2-charr-warrior.jpg[/img]

Suddenly a large tiger appeared in front of Kuro. He looked around and then laughed.

"Ha, why is that every time you summon me, it's always in the middle of a crisis?"

Kuro stood up and took a deep breath before sighing.

"Sorry but this time it's straight to business. Follow my lead."

Kuro did another hand sign and suddenly seven more of him appeared. They all held their hands out and began to create a large shuriken made from each of light. The real Kuro ran forward and threw the shuriken at the monster quickly followed by seven more. The monster turned around and quickly saw it but by the time it did the first shuriken hit and exploded soon followed by the rest of them. By the time the smoke cleared there was nothing there. Kuro let down his guard for a moment and one of his clones went to check the crater. There was nothing there. The Kuro turned to shake it's head when suddenly a large claw stabbed straight through the clone. In an instant, it disappeared. Then out came from the ground was the clawed monster. It screamed loudly and as it did nine more monsters that were completely identical came up from the ground behind Kuro and his clones as well as Kajea. In an instant, the monsters struck with their claws destroying all the clones and cutting Kuro and Kajea badly. The two fell on the floor before Kuro got himself up slowly followed by Kajea. He grabbed his swords and roared loudly.

"What a cheap trick. It's going to regret doing that."

Kajea jumped in the air and threw both swords towards two of the clones then after doing a quick hand sign the swords cloned themselves eight times. Each sword stabbed into the monsters when they did the monsters faded into darkness. The main one took in a deep breath and took in all that darkness in itself. Kuro knew that this battle was not going to be easy. He made a few more hand signs and then jumped into the air suddenly he shot out a huge fire wave at the monster. It quickly rotated it's claws so fast that is made a whirlwind and put the fire out. Kuro landed on the ground and sighed. Everything he tried failed, but it was still getting worse. The monster's claws transformed becoming hands instead. It cloned itself nine more times once again then all nine clones began to do the exact same hand signs Kuro had done. All of a sudden there were ten huge waves of darkness coming straight at Kuro. He quickly backflipped away while Kajea jumped backwards, both of them avoiding the darkness. Kuro looked over to Kajea with a serious look on his face.

"We can't fight this thing. It's learning our techniques and it's going to keep getting stronger.  I think it's best to let someone else take care of this one. Thanks for the help anyway."

Kajea looked back to the monster and sighed. With that, he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Kuro knew full well there was no point in fighting a monster that could counter his every move. 

[b]Ming and Greenwrath[/b]

Ming sighed when the healing was finally done. She got herself up and looked around. It seemed that the village had been repaired. Slowly, she nodded in approval. She opened her mouth to speak when suddenly she saw a flare go off in the sky. At that instant, she spoke quickly.

"Quick, to the Nimbat City! Something is happening and whatever it is, it's bad!"

She grabbed her sword and stabbed it in the ground.

"Samurai Art: Teleportation!"

A large small circle formed around where the blade was just big enough in size to fit in Ming and two other allies. Having the location in her mind Ming teleported straight to the Nimbat City along with the others. She looked around and could see that the situation was already bad. After a quick look around she saw a pixie with green wings and hair. She expected the others to go and help out in their own way. Ming was going to try and take out some of the stronger enemies and that one looked pretty powerful.

"Samurai Art: Petal Dance"

Her sword turned to petals and raced towards the Pixie. She quickly turned around and laughed. With a single hand, she pushed the petals away and sent them flying back at Ming. She jumped back quickly and held out her hand. The sword reformed and Ming quickly grabbed it. Greenwrath laughed and rose her hands. Vines shot up all around Ming and herself surrounding them completely. 

"Do you really think you can take me out? You will regret attacking me!"

Ming held her sword tightly and called out. 

"Samurai Art: Eternal Flame!"

With that, her sword became covered in flame. She slashed the vines and cut them in half. Evergreen flew back for a moment before laughing. Vines covered her completely and with that, she disappeared. Ming lowered her sword for a second, looking around. It seemed she didn't want to mess with fire. 

[b]Elsera[/b]

Elsera watched as Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. She looked around, seeing that they were overwhelmed. She had to take out as many as she could. She drew her sword and used magic in her boots to increase her speed. She quickly zoomed around the city slashing and dicing the monsters trying to cut as many as she could down as fast as possible. Also, she stopped just in time as Elsrid was thrown in front of her. She bent down quickly, checking on his wounds. He needed to be healed otherwise he would die.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

She was about to cast a healing spell on him when Duncan began to heal him with his phoenix fire. She looked up to Duncan before looking to Elsrid. He was being healed so there was no need to worry now still, with them being outnumbered by so much, a lot more people were going to get injured. Was this even a battle that they could win?

[b]Astrid[/b]

Astrid watched as Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. Astrid watched as everyone did everything they could to take out the mass amounts of monsters around the city. She decided that the more help the better. She flew up in the air using her wind manipulation then using fire and water manipulation in both hands, she began to fly around killing as many monsters as she could, taking down their numbers dramatically. Still, no matter how many she killed, the numbers never seemed to go down. 

[b]Helena[/b]

Helena listened to Blue and gave a nod, she followed her orders going to Aeristra's lab. She looked around and shrugged. It was a lot smaller than what she was used to. She listened to everything she said as she looked over the blueprints. When she was done she looked to her.

"These are some impressive blueprints. It won't be easy to complete our task though. I thi-"

She was quickly cut off as Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. Aeristra ran outside and Helena was quick to follow. After a quick look around, she decided that it was best to help out with the Nimbats. There were too many for Aeristra's drones and Daigon to take care of. The faster they dealt with them the better. She pressed her belt buckle three times and it quickly opened up.  She threw out several discs and orbs releasing four types of different attack drones and multiple of each.

They were all equipped with internal shields. She sent them off to the skies to fight the Nimbats, with that she turned around and walked back into the lab. She placed her sword on the table and pulled out a small chip. After quickly removing an old chip and replacing it with another she picked it up again.

"Perfect. Now, let's get to work."

She transformed her sword into a huge energy gun with that she threw it outside. The sword flew off towards the skies and started to attack the flying Nimbats along with the drones. Now that she had done all that she could, she turned back to the lab and looked at all the blueprints. She had to figure out a way to improve the droids.

[b]Susano[/b]

Susano was teleported to the City with Ming once there he watched as Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. He looked around and quickly saw that the situation was bad. He pulled out his sword and began to take out the monsters outside the city, taking out as many as he could, he knew there was no way he could use his aura to heal not when everyone was so busy and there were monsters all around. 

[b]Yinla[/b]

Yinla watched as Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. She looked to Dust hearing him evacuating everyone. She had no powers only her physical strength. She knew she wouldn't be much use there and she knew more about the village than anyone of those humans did. She would be able to take them somewhere safe once they arrived. Plus, being there could help the humans calm down a little. She ran up to Dust and nodded to him. 

"I'll go too, I can take them somewhere safe."

With that, she ran into the portal and came out of the village. She looked around and nodded. With that, she began to direct everyone to a safe place.

[b]Arinto[/b]

Arinto watched as Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. He saw that there were people being evacuated however if anything happened to them, or if anyone had the power to follow the humans to the location then they could be in danger. He decided it was best to go too that way he could at least help defend everyone even if it was just for a small while. He ran over quickly nodding to Dust.

"I'll go and make sure everyone is safe, in case there is someone who can travel there as well."

With that, he went through the portal. 

[b]Tisari and Sarena[/b]

Sarena watched as Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. She looked around and saw Arios was in trouble. With the way she was going she would run out of stamina too quickly and that wasn't good. Sarena rushed forward quickly and sent a large water blast at one of the elves. Tisari turned around seeing the water blast coming towards her. She laughed and using magic, she corrupted the water and redirected it at her. Sarena moved out of the way and placed her hands on the ground. Suddenly water shot up at her. Tisari teleported away and rose her hands. Darkness shot up and with her construct creation, she created hundreds upon hundreds of blades within the two dark swarms. The dark swarms flew forward and slashed at Sarena who quickly turned to water to avoid the attacks. She appeared behind the elf and created a water sword, quickly she slashed her but the moment she did Tisari exploded in a huge wave of darkness. Sarena was sent flying back and landed on the floor. Tisari laughed and swung her arms.

"You were no match against me!"

The dark swarms flew into Sarena's body cutting her to pieces as she screamed out loudly. Once the dark swarms were fully inside her they swirled around rapidly forming a large dark bomb than in an instant it exploded. Sarena watery remains scattered everywhere but normally she could easily reform however Tisari held out her hand and collected all the water there was in her hand and quickly absorbed it knowing that the Atlantians could reform completely. 

[b]Hasanta and Zack[/b]

Hasanta and Zack had been collected by Leona and taken to the Nimbat City. They watched as Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. With everyone fighting Zack looked around slowly. He saw that Dust had created a portal for others to get to safety. He yawned and stretched himself out before casually working over however before he could reach the portal a shadow hand grabbed him and pulled him back. There stood one of the humans who had been brought to the city completely wrapped in Shadow.

"You are not going anywhere."

Zack lazily stared at him and yawned again.

"Awe come on man. Can't you attack someone else? I really don't wanna fight right now. This is such a bummer."

He sighed and Hasanta laughed. He shot out a dark blast but Zack lazily moved out of the way from it. Hasanta clenched his fist and summoned a dark sword. He ran at Zack and attempted to slash him but Zack really didn't want to fight. He could already see that the odds were against them. Why fight such a pointless battle. So instead he yawned again and lazily dodged the strike. As soon as he did he stretched himself out and closed his eyes. In an instant Zack was asleep. This made Hasanta even angrier.

"Stop ignoring me!"

He swung again and again but Zack kept dodging. Even in his sleep, he dodged and dodged, every attack missed. Hasanta jumped backwards and shoot small precise dark blasts out of his hands rapidly like a machine gun. Zack while in his sleep pulled out his sword and deflected every single one then placed his sword away. Hasanta jumped down and placed his hands on the ground, tentacles shot up and attempted to grab Zack but with one quick movement he took out his sword and chopped them up then once again placed his sword away. Hasanta screamed out loudly.

"You know what, screw this! I don't have time for this crap!"

With that, Hasanta turned around and left.  

[b]Weila[/b]

Weila watched as Nova transformed just like Pixie had done. With her transformation, the rest of the Nimbats transformed and soon followed by the rest of the Pixies. This caused a swarm of black monsters to attack. With the Pixies and Nimbats attacking, there was chaos everywhere. There were way too many monsters and they were outnumbered. Unless they brought those numbers down there was no way of winning this battle. She did a few quick hand signs and cloned herself five times. With that, each clone headed outside the city and each clone began to take out the monsters as fast as they could. The more they took out the numbers the more people could help out inside the city. 

[b]Jassine[/b]

Jassine heard what had happened and quickly got the best raptors she could. As soon as everyone was ready she tapped Pinaz and smiled.

"Ok everyone let's go! I'll go on ahead, everyone follow close behind!"

With that Pinaz ran quickly outside the city heading towards the raptors that were killed. She had to get there quickly so she could stop whoever had killed them.

[b]Xehanort[/b]

Xehanort watched as Terra decided to go off on his own and so he decided to stick with Pixie, that way he knew what was going on and where she was located. He could easily sense Terra and if he needed to he could go to him. So with that, he stayed with Pixie and followed her to the Land of Old when she and the rest of her allies travelled there. 

[b]Yuki, Christi and Pixie[/b]

Yuki continued to head towards the city with Pixie when she suddenly got a letter. She read quickly and showed Christi. The two looked to each other before looking to Pixie after a moment Yuki spoke up.

"We have a situation. Someone is attacking the dinosaurs. We would be grateful if you could attack."

Pixie nodded then motioned to her group to follow. With that, they all headed quickly towards where the dead raptors were located. As they travelled Pixie sense a large amount of darkness gathering in the Nimbat City. Something was going on there, something big. She stopped and looked in the direction of where the City would be. 

[b]Zooma, Kat, Dust and Pixie[/b]

Kat could sense another conscious heartless but like most heartless, this one felt different. In fact, he could sense at least three different types of heartless. They all had a strange feel to them. He came out of the ground just as Zooma stepped out of the vortex. The two stared at each other and slowly Zooma stepped forward. 

"You. You're different. You have awakened, have you not?"

Kat slowly stepped closer to Zooma and nodded.

"Yes but I can sense we are on different sides."

Zooma rose his head high and laughed a little.

"Yes, we are. I do not understand why you fight against us when there is no chance of winning."

Zooma quickly zoomed towards Kat and went to slash him Kat sunk into darkness and moved away before coming up again. He was fast and Kat could sense that he was strong too. Zooma spun around and sent a dark bomb at him Kat, seeing this created his own dark bomb and threw it at Zooma. The two connected and created a huge black shockwave. Kat's eyes quickly turned red, the runes around his body began to shift and change as they did darkness began to radiate off him just as darkness radiated off Zooma. At that moment any and all heartless, grim and unversed stopped attacking. All their attention turned to Kat and Zooma as they stared at each other. The darkness they radiated was so powerful that is had caught their attention. Zooma created black discs and sent them out at Kat who quickly jumped in the air. He flicked his tail and red runes appeared on the dark discs. Suddenly they span around and went straight for Zooma. He quickly shot them down with two dark blasts before zooming forward. He slashed at Kat but Kat was able to quickly dodge. He jumped back and let out a loud screech. Suddenly huge waves of darkness were sent out at Zooma who blocked it with his own dark waves. It was then a rune appeared on Kat's chest. He jumped in the air and sent out an inferno wave then instantly teleported behind Zooma and flicked his tail, casting a rune on Zooma's back. Zooma convulsed into darkness turning himself into a black hole. He sucked up the inferno wave and as he did the rune activated, causing the black hole to explode which immediately backfired, sending dark hellish fire out from the black hole and across the battlefield. Zooma transformed into his normal form once again and then laughed. 

It was at this point Dust had taken notice. He could sense several powerful heartless on the battlefield and it was easy to see Zooma and Kat fighting. They were evenly matched for now but he was sure that could quickly change. He looked around, he could sense several Nimbats that had fallen, but most importantly he sensed one that he feared most of all. His eyes stopped on Nova and he slowly stepped back. If she was here, then there was no way they were winning this fight. If Nova and Zooma joined forces and started working together too many people could die. He quickly used magic to call out to everyone.

"Everyone, we have to retreat now before it is too late!" 

It was at that moment that Zooma jumped back. He looked to Dust before melting into the ground. He zoomed to the middle of the battlefield and came back up. Using his connection to darkness and the heartless, he silently commanded them all to pick off the weakest and most injured and to stop as many from escaping as possible. With that done, he looked to Jade. He could sense that she was strong, she was the elf leader too. He wasn't too far away from her and his battle with Kat was going nowhere fast. It would take great strength to take out Jade and he was confident that he had it in him. He melted to the ground once more and moved towards her. He popped out behind her and jumped into the air turning himself into a black hole. This would send any of her attacks directly back towards her much faster. It would also slowly pull her towards the black hole. While this was happening Zooma shot out dark waves of energy which would paralyse Jade if they ran through her body.  Meanwhile all the heartless began to move in a now organised group, having strict instructions from Zooma to take out those who were weakest and trap anyone they could, preventing escape.

In the land of old, Pixie could sense the immense power coming from the Nimbat City, it was far more powerful than anything she had seen or sensed yet. It was at that moment that a messenger appeared to Yuki. He spoke in whispered words and Yuki nodded. She then quickly turned to Pixie.

"Someone is attacking the Land of Old. Before we go to the main city, we must stop this trespasser first, follow me."

Pixie looked towards the Nimbat City, all the darkness, all the power, it was drawing her there. She turned to Yuki and shook her head. "Sorry, but I must leave. I will be back, but you can expect my allies to aid you to catch this criminal." She gave a small smile before looking towards the to nogitsune. With them connected to darkness naturally, she sent them both a message.

"If you can discreetly aid this criminal whilst I am gone, do so. He could be useful later on but I must go and see what is happening at the Nimbat City."

With that Pixie nodded to the Yuki and disappeared. With that, Yuki went on without her with Pixie's allies following close behind. Pixie arrived in the Nimbat City looming over it. Her eyes went wide as she saw the destruction of the city, all corrupted in darkness, dark beings everywhere and even dark nimbats. Now she understood why she felt the need to come here. She could sense a part of herself within each and every dark being. She didn't know how, but somehow, she could sense that she had created them just as she had created dragons. It was in that moment, she spoke a word, something that came out of her mouth without her thinking. "Heartless." It was at that moment that Kat and Zooma immediately turned to her. All other heartless were focusing on their tasks that Zooma had ordered them to do. Zooma transformed into his normal form and landed neatly on the floor. Then smiled brightly.

"Mother is here. You are all as good as dead." 

He smiled brightly and got ready to continue to fight.
