No sooner had his request been fulfilled that two cloaked villains entered the scene through what looked like an identical portal to the one Tocsax liked using. He could tell they were villains because... well they were about as subtle as an anvil being dropped. Pitch black cloaks, hoods that hid their faces in shadow. The guys may as well have been wearing neon signs that read, 'We're the bad guys, come beat us up'. And the armored genius would have done just that, except the Scottish one (who, just to be as stereotypical as possible, was named Angus) lunged at Jupiter, running her through with his... wait was that a Keyblade? This guy, who was seriously like something out of a cheesy, Saturday-morning Cartoon, was a wielder of the freaking Keyblade, but the more-or-less heroic Mach didn't get to be one? Talk about unfair!

Unfortunately, his immediate thoughts distracted him enough that it was too late by the time he noticed that the lumbering Heartless they summoned was going after him first, "Oh sh-" he put up an energy shield as quick as he could, and while it prevented the impact from doing any serious damage to his suit, it didn't stop the actual force of the impact from knocking him flat on his ass, only after flying through the air a few feet. Unharmed, thanks entirely to his armor and energy shield, Mach staggered to his feet, surprised and partially winded, "Okay... next time... I'm wishing for a million dollars." he said, the irony of his tempting fate not lost on him.

He heard the Princess, who still hadn't told any of them her name, mention something about being able to fix Jupiter if she could touch the lumbering Heartless she was transformed into. Well, that was nice and all, but the problem was going to be the actual act of getting the Princess in contact with the thing without getting killed in the process. Another fact that wasn't lost on him was that the big heartless could very well have been functioning like an over-sized puppet the two cloaked jerks were controlling, so one had to wonder if the smarter strategy wasn't simply to 'cut the puppet's strings' as it were. Mach might have acted on this, but then yet another portal randomly opened up, and two more strangers came literally tumbling through it.

"And now apparently this is happening..." he quipped to himself, then noticed the two, one a boy and the other a girl, conversing in what definitely sounded like Japanese. Thankfully, Japanese had become just as predominant of a language as English where he came from, so Mach actually did understand them for the most part. So he tried saying something to them in Japanese, "Don't suppose I could trouble you for some help here? I... may have... jinxed this on us and I'll feel pretty guilty if this goes South 'cause of me." he sure hoped his Japanese didn't sound too rusty.
Being from San Fransokyo, there's a decent chance Mach either knows their (Joshua and Amaya's) language or, at least, partially knows it.
I feel like I should point out that I never thought the arc was bland or boring.

Any perceived boredom or annoyance in my posts is probably just Mach being a snarky, arrogant bastard. I mean let's face it, the kid is basically Dr. House in an Iron Man suit.




I'd also like to state my interest. Question, though, what are the stipulations, if any, for starters? Is there anything besides Legendaries that are outright prohibited/banned?

Edit: Poor word choice on my part. My question is referring to things like abilities and movesets. Egg Moves, Hidden Abilities, are there any restrictions for those?
Mach did indeed remove his helmet. It got dusty in the fight and he needed to wipe the visor so he wouldn't be blinded. And then the Princess of Heart blindsided him with a kiss. Whether she was going for the lips or not, Mach moved his face and got pecked on the cheek instead, "Whoa, hey..." he said, taking an awkward, "...I don't kiss on the first date, lady." didn't stop his face from turning beet red. Thankfully, he just happened to possess a helmet that would hide that fact. Or it would, if he were actually wearing the thing at the moment, which he wasn't. Realizing this fact, Mach hastily put it back on.

"Yeah, so, um..." thankfully, he received an emergency message from the ship. Whew, talk about being saved by the bell, or in this case, the communication beep, "...oh would you look at that! A message from the ship interrupting us, oh darn." inside he was sighing with relief. He didn't know what the message was about, didn't care. He was just thankful it saved him from an awkward interaction.

Forces from Richmond. 50 Cavalry, backed by a tank, "Confederate forces out of Richmond, huh? Oh no! 50 horsemen and a single tank? What ever will we do?" his tone was flat and very obviously deadpan, "Oh yeah, this." as he said that, his hands were fiddling with a holographic screen that just appeared in front of him. He was sending a response to the gummi ship, telling it to ready its weapons, lock on to the enemy force - which, let's be honest here, were a basically a bunch of piss-ants by comparison - and await further command, "Aaaaaaaand our ship is now ready to blow them to hell. Come on, forces of evil, at least make it somewhat of a challenge for me."
Hmm, that kind of is troubling.
I was a tad bit caught up in other things.

Well, that and there's not a whole lot for Mach to really respond to at the moment.
I'm not actually condoning that, just pointing it out as a technical fact.
Doesn't she live in a time period where young girls marrying much older men is a totally normal thing, though? <_<
