Test of the Heart

[Rocket!]

[ Ah. Well. Um.

Quick poll! How many of you want this to continue for the next two months? If yes, would you rather go the "multiple rounds" route, or the "big boss" route? ]

[Magius]

( I'm up for continuing it. Personally I'd rather go with the big boss.)

[Xemnas (I)]

[Homac]

[Rocket!]

[ Well, if you're suuuuuuuuure... ]

Unfortunately for the attacking Iatros and Namine, it appears as though the shockwave dealt by the last of the Darkballs vanished in a trace of smoky wind. Perhaps... the last attack it just dealt with was a last resort of sorts?

Who knows. But hey-- another Mythril Crystal!

More important was a sound coming from behind the newfound trio. Familiar to one, unknown to two, but to all three very chilling as the newcomer's cold harsh words echoed across the stone street in accompaniment to the slow clapping of the patronizing individual--

"Not bad, not bad at all, gentlemen... Naminé."

His eyebrow raised itself to the height of the blond streaks of hair framing his face, the challenge thrown down.

"But I'm afraid your... how to put it...? Ah, free time is long overdue for an end."

The voice, impressively capable of being both thoroughly condescending and strong-willed, had a faintly annoying air about it. It was the voice of one who was far more concerned with themselves before others, but not one unwilling to be here...

"What's most fortuitous, I must admit, is that I need not wait for formalities before removing your very existence... before you can make contact with your other half..."

And with a flourish of a grin, the Organization's fourth-- Vexen-- raised a gloved hand.

And proceeded to snap the fingers enclosed by the black material.

Vwoosh.

In an instant wave of grey and black light, six Dusks appeared around the trio in a circle. Each one, a menacing air holding them, slowly moved forward in as intimidating a fashion as possible.

And Vexen's own personal weapon, the Frozen Pride cane to be in his hand by way of a shimmering insurgence of ice and wind. Taking to the air, the Nobody began to circle around the enclosed trio.

Whuh oh. Welcome to the big leagues.

[ For the duration of the boss battle, the thread will be a Quest environment. This means I DON'T CARE IF VEXEN IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN A CAGE TAIDA-KUN BWAHAHAHA, and the prize if you defeat my buddy Vexy here will be a fair bit... shinier. :3

Vexen will be primarily following his profile (link below), Dusks included, but don't be surprised if he pulls a Quest-only ace out of his sleeve! ^^

And for the record, you guys asked for it. XD ]

• Defeat Vexen and all he has to throw at you!
  
• Protect Naminé being defeated for an additional bonus prize!
  

[Homac]

[OY! I take offense at this bonus! And also, isn't Vexen locked in a cage somewhere?]

[Rocket!]

[/i] I could hint at the prize...

Well, let's just say you'll be a fair bit higher in the Nobody food chain, so to speak. ^^

Coordinate with eachother, and keep in mind that I'm probably not gonna go all out on you guys, and you could pull this off with much aplomb! (Is that a word? I think it's a word. Is that a word?) ][/size][/ul]

[Homac]

[Right. So let's get started here, hm?]

[Draconas]

Arc's twin katana, Quicksilver and Silverstreak, gleamed wickedly. The Nobody who had appeared...seemed powerful. The Dusks he had summoned to his aid? Not so much. Spinning the blades in a rapid circle, Arc smiled widely at the new foe. After all, this would be an interesting fight.

Turning to the girl, Naminé, he had heard her called, Arc asked, "Who is this man, then? He appears to know you." Turning back to the dusks surrounding them, Arc moved to stand at Naminé's side. She was but a young girl, and he would therefore protect her from these creatures. The blades gleamed in the cold light, spinning in several circles before each struck one of the Dusks. Drawing backward, Arc stood protectively in front of Naminé. There would be no one attacking this girl on his watch.

[Homac]

Namine frowned as the Number IV of the Organization appeared. What was he doing here anyways!?

And then his words sank in: He was going to try to kill her, to the best of his very large abilities.

At this, she said the only thing she could think of: "Oh, crackers!" Admittedly far from an effective curse, but hey, this is Namine! She doesn't curse.

Saying that, she let Arc step in front of her, and began to cast yet another of one of her spells: Magnet.

As she finished it, she pointed at the group of Dusks heading towards the group, and the orb of energy appeared. This would drag the six together, allowing one of her allies to take a cheap shot at them

[Rocket!]

[ 3 days until battle continues without Magius - Hurry back! ]

[Shinn]

*Sigh*
Yare yare Here I was hoping you all could handle a little rping in my absence for two months. Boy did this get out of hand. Alright well I'm here to save my thread from total destruction. Expect a recovery post from me here soon. Just disregard all posts made after my last post two months.
