[Open or something. Dunno! ;D ]
Aly frowned. Not that that was unusual or anything. But it wasn't often that there was so much purpose behind it.
As her feet set down on the macadam streets of Traverse Town, Aly had the strangest feeling... and it wasn't a good one.
The city, for one thing, was very very bleak. Asking for an invasion, much?
...she sighed. Aly's thoughts had been much more... erratic(?) as of late.
Hm? Turning around, the 13-year-old looked behind her. She thought she'd heard something...?
...wha? A small black thing with yellow eyes, almost like a mutated dog, was following her. The heck?
"Um... hi?" Aly said to it.
No response.
Aly rose an eyebrow. "Do you-- aah!" The thing! It, it lashed out, attacked- jumped! It went and hit her!
An OOF! burst out as she landed on her back. Without bothering to get up, Aly began to scoot backwards. This thing, whatever it was, wasn't nice.
And it had friends.

Prythian shook his head. He wore a black, skin-tight suit and had black messy hair. His emerald-bright eyes glinted as he saw the Heartless attacking someone. "Here I go!" He cried as he jumped off of the building he'd been on top of. "Shining Finger!" As he held his hand up, it began glowing with a white light. He landed, running forwards and smashing the Shining Finger into and through several of the Heartless, the light destroying them.
Prythian glanced at her. "I hope you know how to fight. If not, I suggest you leave quickly, whilst I hold them off."

Aly, who'd been looking in some sort of awe at the man's spectacle, suddenly looked to the side. ...fight...? But...Get the heck over it. Besides, I'm not a pet. ... Looking back up to Prythian, Aly stammered out, "I-I can't, but... well, um... Cwen?" Wincing, Aly continued to scoot back. Without warning, a woman appeared at Prythian's side. Blond, tall, and dressed in casual wear, the woman looked to be 20 something at first glance. Her attitude gave away her true age, however. "Evening, Grumpy. Say, do you try to look this badass in front of everyone or is that just a thing you do in front of girls?" Mmm. [Go to town with the Heartless Pryth!] |

Prythian took out a small gray cylinder and held it in his hands, a yellow energy sword forming. "I hold no mercy for the heartless. Battle or leave. There are no other options in this fight." He charged forwards, slashing at the heartless with his energy sword. The 25-year old was obviously skilled in using it.
It'd be impossible that he wasn't, considering he'd trained with his sword for the last 15 years.

Cwen's bob of hair shook as she took the time to roll her eyes. Stoic much?
Oh wait. She'd meant to say that out loud. "Stoic much?" she quipped.
After a quick glance down, and noting the situation in it's entirety, Cwen pulled her leg up... and down.
WHAM
The Shadow that had mistakenly thought her an easy target just got blasted through one of it's own kind. Two birds, one stone. Not too shabby, she thought as she twisted her head to the right.
Aly knew enough to stay hidden. Hiding in a conveniently located barrel, she hunkered down.

"Erupting... Burning... Finger!" Prythian said, holding his right hand upwards in a fist, the back of the hand facing forwards as the King of Hearts crest glowed red on it. He drew his hand back and shot it forwards, shooting a beam of pure fire through five of the Shadows, destroying them instantly. He paused just long enough to take out a Heartless that was about to jump on him from behind with his sword.

Cwen whistled at the sight of the blast as she gripped a Shadow by the head. "Whoo... and here I thought you were all talk." Giving the Shadow a friendly toss toward Prythian, she turned around to grab another.
And froze, with eyes wide.
Aly, sadly, was still rather new to this "world traveling" thing. Heartless were new to her.
So imagine her surprise when the barrel she'd been hiding in picked itself up and started walking away.
Aly had promptly began to whack the thing from the inside.
Gritting her teeth, and bringing her open palm down on a Shadow (that promptly vanished), Cwen twisted around to look for Aly.
The dim light that forever encompassed Traverse Town revealed nothing.
...well, fuzz.
"Hey!" Cwen shouted out to Prythian, "Tall dark and ugly! You seen the other girl?"

"What?!" Prythian looked around wildly, absentmindedly taking out the Heartless that Cwen had thrown at him. He swore under his breath. "I don't have the time to waste right now! Shining Finger!" He spun, destroying the heartless that had been gathering around him. "Find her! Now! You're the one attached to her. I'll hold these things off!" He ran forwards, slamming his sword into another Shadow.

Cwen nervously scratched the back of her head as she gave a quick look around. "Uh, yeeeeah. Listen, I'm not exactly familiar with the place yet aaand... well, any ideas?" She followed through on a quick kick to her right at another Shadow. Just how many things are there?
"Say, any idea what these things are?"
Aly, meanwhile, was seeing about getting out of the barrel. Without success.

"The Heartless." Prythian said grimly. "Those whose hearts have fallen into darkness. There's a large variety plaguing the worlds, all different shapes. I've even seen some that look like pots and barrels." He snorted. "There's just no end to these guys!" And it was true, more and more Shadows were appearing from the ground. "How do you not know of the Heartless? New to world traveling?" He shook his head, countering attacks with some rapid kicking. "You two are in more trouble than I thought."

Cwen scowled. And then, for added dramatic effect, she growled. In a blur of motion, the blond woman flipped over Pryth entirely, slashing down more than a few jumping Heartless, and landed with no small amount of grace behind him. Cwen shot Prythian the look. "I'm not interested in humans who take things at face value. I don't." Swoosh. "Bloody." Swring. "Care." BAM.
"But I need the girl, Mister Badass. And I don't know the place. You and I are gonna find the stupid pot or whatever she's in, or die trying." Cwen's tone wasn't the glib humor that'd she'd been sticking to so far. The girl was definitely five times more important to her than Pryth's life, if her tone was anything to go by.
"Capiche?"

"Who says I'm taking you at face value? I learned not to do that a long time ago. And you are making a MISTAKE if you think for one instant that I don't care someone's life is in danger. Take any attitude with me, and you are in more trouble than you were in the first place." He shook his head, disgusted. "You're obviously more powerful than an ordinary human would be. Throw me in the air. There is NO time to waste."

Cwen frowned.
She also furrowed her brows with a curious look on her face.
Shrugging, she bent down and grapsed Prythian's leg. In one swift motion, she pulled the arm back up and into the air.
Soon followed by Prythian.
Cwen hadn't the slightest idea why this fellow thought being in the air was a good thing, but whatever. She absently kicked a Shadow that'd been crawling up out of the way.
Meanwhile, Aly was having absolutely no luck with getting out of the barrel. With a sad frown, she leaned back dejectedly and tried to get comfortable.

Prythian flew into the air, glancing around. Aha! There! A Barrel Spider! He threw out an arm, pointing. "There! That way! A Barrel Spider!" He didn't see any others around. He glanced down to make sure that he'd been heard, and then began falling towards the ground again. He held out his hand towards the ground. "Burning Finger!" A jet of flame shot towards the ground, hitting it and slowing his descent as if he was a rocket ((*insert rimshot here)). He landed on the ground with a hard thud, but not the 'splat' that would usually be heard.

Cwen's head shot up as Pryth motioned towards the... the Barrel Spider.
...original name. thought Cwen to herself.
Cwen took the time to go forward where Prythian was doing his little rocket thing. Without warning, she shot her hand (the right one, mind you!) and let it strike the Burning Finger blast. Cwen wiped her hand on her jeans as she ran off for the Barrel Spider.
"Aly! Aly! You hear me?"
