The Illusion of Destruction(Temple of the Seal!)

[prythian]

Alexis's attack was too powerful for the clone to handle.

The beams easily pierced and destroyed its body, leaving it a wreck. Several of its limbs were completely gone, spitting out fits of green energy, and a large hole went through its chest, sparking. The head was half gone. The one blank white eye that remained seemed to be staring blamefully at Alexis, and then it flashed green. The copy erupted in a mass of green, harmless energy, leaving nothing body. The suitcase faded away, as did the Gallia Throne.

As it did, high in the air above the fight, a shimmer appeared, fading away to reveal the Reflection. It sparked fitfully, as if receiving some form of feedback from the loss of its copy.

[Akito]

It was done. He had killed...himself or at least a likeness of himself. He had done so metaphorically many times in the past...but this, this may be the first literal sense. Alexis did not dwell on it, he had another target left.

Alexis moved and, ih his hands, his Si Felice weapon spun around like a disc at high speeds. Unleashing the spinning blades, he flung them both at the Mirror. Meanwhile, his Suitcase closed and stopped its Dark Hole preparation. It would fly quickly to the Mirror and, once above it, convert into its Pandora's Box mode to crush the Mirror under its weight.

[prythian]

The Si Felice bolts flew through the air rapidly, much faster than the suitcase would. They all hit directly on target... or appeared to at first.

A transparent sphere appeared around the Heartless, and the Si Felice bolts quickly flew back, reflected directly at the position Alexis was in when he fired them. It then moved out of the way of the falling Pandora's Box; terminal velocity had given it enough time to avoid the attack. It focused up energy, and then fired a large red laser directly at Alexis.

[Akito]

Alexis smirked, he was not the type to show arrogance in the midst of battle, but he had gauged this enemy and he had found it wanting.

It was not as powerful as him. After he had killed his copy, it was...practically helpless. This was its most vulnerable point and he would exploit it. Alexis reviewed what had happened - the cube blocked the magical weapons but chose to dodge the purely physical one. It could just be coincidence, or it could be that it only had that 'reflecting' barrier against magical abilities.

This meant it was vulnerable to physical blows; which made sense considering it was a mirror construct.

Alexis erected his barrier - the Second Aegis. To parry both the deflected Si Felice and the concentrated laser of red...Which would be successful unless the red laser was shield piercing. However, he gambled on the hope his shield would last and (unless the mirror heartless could move while it was firing that large red laser), it would find to its side a morning star the size of a boulder had been swung. A formidable giant suit of armor stood before the mirror construct, to its right side. The spiked ball on a chain it swung with came with considerable destructive force at the mirror.

"Break it apart, Belphram,"

[prythian]

The large spiked mass slammed into the Reflection, sending it flying to the side. The laser attack broke off immediately, not having any shield-piercing or self-sustaining properties. Large cracks spread over the side that had been smashed. In fact, an entire half of the Heartless had been shattered, broken up in shards. They floated with the rest of it in an approximation of its original form, but they sagged in the air, jutting out jaggedly.

It turned the injury into an advantage, however. Light refracted off of the broken shards, focusing into smaller versions of its earlier laser attack. They fired off randomly and in a scattershot pattern. The lasers were in a wide enough pattern and it had been knocked far enough away that they threatened both Alexis and his minion.

[Akito]

So the source of the lasers was light? Interesting. But not enough.

"Ultimately futile,"

Alexis flew towards the mirror still, and Belphram, well, Belphram disassembled into several pieces of armor and flew alongside Alexis towards their enemy. Magic circles at Alexis' shoulders appeared and fired an array of missiles at the enemy (Limstellia). They would compete with the scattering of lasers in numbers (though they also exploded) - but none seemed directed at the mirror itself. They were only a buffer, as they had been before. From them, Alexis, whose Belphram pieces protected him from any stray enemy lasers, came at the mirror from the light show of red and blue lasers.

In his hand was...his suitcase, which he forcefully threw at the Mirror ahead of himself. The suitcase sped with its own propulsion and should it near the Mirror enough, it was cause a sonic boom (Boom), that would hopefully scatter the shards too far apart to be of any credible threat.

Following this, the sorcerer would send forth heavy chunks of Belphram's various armor pieces, almost catapulting, at the Mirror heartless mercilessly bent on wreaking further havoc on its remaining form.

[prythian]

((...Your suitcase causing a sonic boom is utterly ridiculous, I would like to point out. Should it go that fast, it would be FAR away and be gone from the area. So, I have to assume it isn't going that fast and is thus DODGEABLE OR BLOCKABLE.

That said, luckily I figured out how to counter this within the Reflection's abilities. And if you even try to contest how I handled this, I'll have a revenge waiting for you at some point.))

The broken pieces scattered before the suitcase neared, breaking off the laser attack and intercepting Limstellia, reflecting them at the suitcase itself. They all hit at once, causing an explosion that sent the suitcase hurtling downwards to the ground from the sky.

The now-gaping hole in the side of the Reflection pulsed, releasing green energy similar to the stuff the clone had released... and then FIRED.

A giant eruption of green energy, similar to electricity, shot outwards, engulfing the area that Alexis and the armor pieces were in at once, trapping them in a plasma storm.

Undoubtably unnoticed, bits and pieces of mirror around the hole broke off, turning into ash, and the floating pieces did as well. There was only about half of the Reflection left.

[Akito]

As if in defense of the retaliation, the pieces of Belphram assembled in front of Alexis trying to guard him from the pulsing green energy. It would not be enough, the plasma storm would've obliterated both Belphram and his master (despite Alexis' magical resistence) in one fell swoop.

If it had hit him, that is.

The pieces of armor were used simply as a cover, Alexis was not behind it. He had teleported away [Warp].

When the suitcase was knocked down, two beings slipped out from within it. They were the King's Doubts. Humanoid in form, but not in presence; they were hooded and armoured warriors as both leapt upwards and, as if commanded by an overmind, threw their swords up towards the Reflection...But not directly at it.

The thrown swords would eventually reach the hands of the sorcerer who appeared 2 metres above the reflection.

Chains, with hooks at their ends, would be cast by the two Doubts at the Reflection much like lassos, aiming to bind what was left of the Heartless in wrought steel (wrapping around it like a Christmas present if possible). This would allow their master to plummet down with impunity, the force of Excelia fired behind him to jet propel him forward, twin swords pointed sharply downward (The swords were positioned into a triangle tip, so as to concentrate the force on one point). He would shatter the Reflection.

Of course, when the Suitcase hit the ground, the force that tossed it aside used up, it would fly up and make its way back to its master.
