Something was happening to Radiant Garden. The world had grown much more powerful with it's own Light over the past months, even enough for the SeeD of Balamb Garden to detect it. It had been a while since the brown-haired youth had visited this world, and it appeared he'd returned at a convenient time. A Darkness was upon this world, and it was something much greater then the usual threat of the Heartless. Sadly, the Heartless were still sticking around, even with Radiant Garden's own Light growing stronger. There had to be a balance, which was a painful truth to be accepted. Yet the Heartless were enough and there wasn't any further room for other Dark-hearted beings to try and threaten the peace Squall and the rest of the Restoration Committee had worked so hard to achieve.
Pushing the door to Merlin's house wide open, the Lion walked out, folding his arms across his chest and glancing off to one side, waiting for the weight of the door to cause it to slowly swing back and close again. Once it had, the SeeD turned his head skywards and peered up towards the cloudy sky. Narrowing his blue eyes at the feeling of a great darkness approaching, Squall reassured himself that nothing was going to take over Radiant Garden again. This was his home away from home and if any user of the Darkness wanted to take this world, they'd have to go through him first. The SeeD nodded his head at this thought, turning on his heels as he did so and looking off to his right, off towards the Bailey.
~I have no idea how many might be coming... but fighting here in the middle of town will only threaten the civilians.~
The Lion thought to himself, keeping his arms folded across his chest as he closed his eyes when a brief breeze blew past, ruffling through his long brown hair slightly.
Knowing whether or not additional heroes of the Light would be showing up too, Squall didn't wait around to find out, swiftly lowering his arms to his side as he began to run off across the town with his destination being the bailey. The SeeD noticed that Radiant Garden's automated defense system was down, which meant Cid had forgotten to do his daily checks of the defense systems again. That would have proved useful if it were up and running, especially if the Heartless decided that they wanted to make a surprise attack upon the world as well. The SeeD just muttered something inaudible to himself, paying it no mind as he finally reached the bailey. From here he stopped and glanced to his left, looking across the chasm and barren flats all the way over towards the old Hollow Bastion castle. At least from this position, he'd be able to quickly head back into town should the enemies decide to appear there. All Squall could do for now was to be patient and wait.

Gentle foot steps were taken down each step on the set of stairs behind the stores. The Remnant's eyes looked all around and saw many stores. Very few people were here except the store owners, a duck, and a moogle. Loz just looked around the general area for a little before deciding to walk over to a bench. His knees gently bent and he was then sitting down on the wood bench. The Remnant was here so he could play a little.
So all he could do was stay here and wait for the hero's of light to find him. He is in a secure little spot with some people. However, he could careless if any of these people gets hurt in the process. Slowly, he began to get off track from this upcoming battle. Loz started to wonder where might his brothers be? He just had a feeling his brothers were far way from him yet close. Still waiting Loz crossed his left leg over the right.
Both his arms now just spread out on the top of the benches back supporter. So where were these heroes? Normally, they are not this slow in showing up. Loz generally was going to like this area for the fight. It really had a lot of potential items he could use as weapons. Like benches, light posts, the store signs. Loz let out a slight yawn and had his eyes just drift around, store to store ,then person to person.

Finally, he was back.
Having secured Destiny Islands with the Light again, and having checked on Traverse Town, Sora came to the next stop of worlds to check in on his friends - Hollow Bastion. He had met three lovely ladies in the last world... Lightning, her sister Serah, and Yuna from the Gullwings... and he had offered the latter to come with him in the Gummi ship as she was heading in this direction anyway of the same world Sora had met her and the Gullwings in. Whether she wanted to accompany him or not was up to her decision, and Sora was confident she would follow after him one way or the other. He was eager to get out and explore the world and check in once more to make sure his friends were okay without him... last time he had been here, he, Donald, Goofy, Cloud, Yuffie, and of course Leon were there to discuss about recent events. I wonder how Leon and the others are doing? The keyblade master remembered their discussion well, as Cloud had been concerned about the Organization members that had invaded the world, but Sora had reassured him that he'd take care of any Organization members that weren't his friends that he already had within the scheming group of Nobodies.
We wondered what the Organization would be up to now, knowing they had come back after he had defeated most of them... but he was more concerned if Xion, Axel and Roxas were okay.
And then... there was his vision of Kairi. As well as finding what King Mickey had told him in his letter, he had to find her.
Everything depended on it.
There was a cool breeze blowing through the Garden, and Sora felt the wind tug at the strands of his spiked hair, and there were only a few patches of clouds in the fuchsia-colored sky. He had landed in the same place just outside of the castle town that he had in his last adventure, and came down the steps leading into the Marketplace. Usually at this point of his journey revisiting a new world, Donald and Goofy would usually be in step by his side, saying their hopes and concerns out loud about how their friends were doing as well. The young keyblade master sighed, and knowing that he left his two traveling companions behind as they had their own concerns about the King and the state that Disney Castle was in, they had promised they would meet again once Sora had found what he was looking for. He quickened his pace from reminder of his previous thoughts and passed by the stalls in the marketplace, more concerned... and happy, once he realized he had not seen them in some time of his travels through the worlds and being at home... of the thought of seeing them again, than looking to see if there was anything interesting to buy that the peaceful citizens of the town were trying to offer.
And yet, something was not right.
Sora had no perception of if a person had light or darkness in their hearts, for he was just an ordinary young man... it was the strength of his friends that gave him the unbelievable power he had, and without them he would probably not be the keyblade master we was so appraised as today. So when his eyes of sky blue glanced over to notice there was a new figure sitting at the bench, which was wearing a similar attire as two other people he had encountered once before, his pupils suddenly dilated in interest as he approached the figure hesitantly. Slowly black and yellow boots stepped over to the man, and in slight anticipation he clenched his black fingerless-gloved hands into tight fists, knowing if his hunch was right there was going to be some big trouble. Last time he had seen the men wearing the same clothing as this man had been in this same world, having found Kairi at just the right moment, the two of them observing from afar in the Dark Depths of the men with silver hair calling for their brother.
And before them, had been the man that had called himself the darkness of one of his closest friends.
Sephiroth...
He did not know much about the man, or why he saught after and tormented Cloud, but what he lacked knowing about the identity of the man the blond swordsman knew he made up for knowing about his sheer power. Sora had battled the wielder of Masamune in Olympus Coliseum once, and again here in the Dark Depths of this world, and each time Sephiroth had shown a lot of power which rivaled the strongest of Heartless and even that of the Organization members. After defeating him he had lost interest in the keyblade he was curious about, that only Cloud could defeat him, and he and Cloud had disappeared in flash of light to another world after Sora had informed Cloud as Sephiroth had asked. While that had been before he had gotten to safety with Kairi last time he had seen him in the Dark Depths, his brothers had appeared in other places, especially the one named Kadaj who had come after Kairi and Namine. He had not seen much of them after that encounter, but Sora had a feeling he had not seen the last of them as long as Cloud and Sephiroth were back from their battle, and Sora could only guess their intentions were only the same as their one-winged brother.
He had been right, it seemed, if this encounter was the example.
He came to a stop before this man, and looked him over with a cautioned look, his brown eyebrows frowning slightly as his expression turned to one of doubt. The stranger was wearing the same kind of clothing, alright... black body suit of leather, pauldrons on the shoulders, and a banded 'X' on the front. This enigmatic man was a lot more brawny and muscular than his brothers, if that was the case, and he reminded the keyblade wielder of the Nobody Xaldin. He was sitting casually on the bench, his body language contradicting what his attire represented... what was with people wearing all black, anyway? He wondered if the darkness was what affected their clothing, or was it meant to make them look more intimidating, and it was then his eyes came across the strange spiked weapon on the man's right arm. Seeing the threat the man possessed if the weapon was used for messing up the worlds, Sora wasted no time with standing before the man, and trying not to be too assuming spoke to make his introductions to the mysterious figure.
"You're one of Sephiroth's brothers, aren't you?" he questioned simply, and narrowed his eyes at the man, and tensed himself in preperation of the consequences if the answer was correct.

With her eyes closed, Yuna reflected upon her past experiences and conversations, trying to recall everything that she could. The most important memories came back. To fight the darkness around her. To surround the world with light. To never waver from such a fight. Don't back down. Keep your eyes on one goal. Nodding to herself, Yuna reaffirmed her desire to keep at it. To strengthen her own inner light. Focusing on that goal with all her will and might. She would however always be mindful of what was around her for blinders were a double edged blade. You had to be mindful of your surroundings since if you concentrated too much on that one goal you could forget those around you. She had seen too many people hurt because of ignorance, too many people saddened by carelessness, too many people burdened by their past.
One person could try, and thats all they could do. Yuna wanted to be that one person. She wanted to relieve people of such a burden. Going alone on such a quest was depressing. She couldn't live with herself ever if she let someone face against the darkness alone. Opening her twin colored eyes slowly, Yuna glanced around for a moment. Her reflections had prepared herself for her decision. A new page was being turned in her story. Yes ,today would be a defining chapter like always. Clasping her hands together, Yuna simply whispered to herself. "I'll try to be a beacon of light for everyone." Nodding to reassure herself Yuna dashed out into the city. She could sense that ever approaching darkness.
It was a terrifying feeling really. The cold grasp of the unknown. The pitch black darkness of encroaching despair. Yuna rushed down the streets, taking graceful steps and turns searching for the light. It was close, but so was the darkness. Her steps fell silent as she stood still finding a familiar face and an unfamiliar one. Eyes darting back and forth she watched the tension. Yes this was it, the root of the darkness and light she had felt. There stood Sora, a young boy which she had grown to know was a firm guardian of the light. Opposite from his was someone dressed in black, fitting for someone that was a bringer of darkness. The man's silver hair was his most outstanding feature from his attire.
As long as Yuna kept the light to her heart, the darkness wouldn't ever be able to engulf her. She knew this to be true. All she had to do was keep her faith in her friends and defend that which she loved. Her conversations with the brown haired boy were enough to solidify her faith in him. He stood firm in his beliefs and inspired others. In truth, that was all you could ask for right? There were so many worlds to protect and so many to take back from darkness. She had traveled to many places, each with its own beauty. Sora knew his way around and Yuna was grateful he did. She'd be totally lost without any sort of guidance to get around to every place. Standing there with her body tense, ready to snap into action, Yuna opened her mouth to break the silence. "I know you whistled for help Sora." It was a sign of friendship she had learned to pass on to everyone that touched her life. A simple whistle and she'd come running to help. She'd always be there for her friends.

The Bailey was unusually quiet, which was both good and a bad thing. Good for obvious reason such as the Heartless weren't attacking the city, but bad meaning that the Heartless were gathering strength, waiting for the best time to strike. It was like an earthquake, sleeping silently until one day it would explode and ruin everything around it. Sharp blue eyes stared intently out across the lifeless plains towards the old Hollow Bastion castle, wondering to himself as the SeeD pondered the Heartless' actions. Yet that wasn't the main concern as of today. As felt earlier, a greater Darkness was approaching this world and could very well be here already. It was only when a somewhat refreshing gust of wind whipped through the Bailey, did Squall's eyes blink, his head turning off to glance back where he'd just walked from.
"So they're already here..."
Squall turned on his heels and walked back towards the town of Radiant Garden, leaving the Bailey after a few paces before coming to a stop at the top of a ramp which circled down around a house to reach a lower level. Walking up to the small wall that helped prevent people from falling off to the level below, Squall placed his hand upon the cold stonework, leaning over to look at what might below him. Nothing, but that was good, since the path leading from the bottom of the ramp circled past Merlin's house, towards the center of town, where the Market was. With a swift bend of his knees, the Lion crouched before vaulting himself up and over the wall, falling down to the ground below with a gentle thud. The Darkness was coming from the Market, but an unexpected yet familiar Light was coming from the same direction.
"........ So he's here too?"
Squall asked himself out loud as he lowered his head slightly, masking a small smile that appeared across his lips as he brushed back a few strands of hair away from his eyes.
As he looked back up though, the smile had vanished and the SeeD of Balamb Garden was already making his way off towards the Market, his feet carrying him in a fast walking pace, knowing that if Sora was here then the danger probably wasn't going to be anything worth while worrying about. Probably... After only a couple of minutes however, the Proud Lion found himself not far away from the Moogle Synthesizer, with the Keyblade Master a short distance ahead of him, whom appeared to have already found and approached the Darkness threatening this world. A man wearing black leather armour and short, silver hair. A weapon attached to his arm hinted to the Lion that however this guy fought, was going to more then likely be at melee range. A fist fighter, like Zell. That would make the SeeD's job easier, yet he didn't move from his position. Instead he decided to stand back and see what was going to happen between Light and Darkness.
A new face arrived beside the Keyblade Master though, one that Squall thought he recognized. He'd been protecting Radiant Garden for a long time now, and he'd seen thousands of people passing through on their way to places unknown. After a moment pondering though, the Lion was unable to match a name to the woman's face. He quickly shrugged it off through as his eyes floated between the woman and Sora. From visuals, it looked like they knew one another, so she was more then likely going to chip in should things between the silver-haired man and Sora, turn sour. Raising his hands up to his chest, Squall folded his arms over one another before resting his weight upon one leg, causing his body to shift to one side slightly as his bright blue eyes continued to watch Sora and the black-attired man.

Loz was about to take a nice long nap until he noticed he was surrounded. First Sora had appeared and asked if he was one of Sephiroths Brothers. Or something like that. "Looks like I'm found out." He said softly. Next Yuna had appeared and made her way over to himself and Sora. What was a little girl and a little boy going to do? Hopefully, they will be as entertaining as Cloud was. Finally, Squall came right up the steps on the other side.
So this was a three versus one match? Loz knew he might definitely lose this fight. His opponents may look weak, but might be strong. Though like he said to himself earlier, he was only here for a good fight. His leather attire made a slight rubbing noise as he stood up. "Let's play." He said energetically. Instantly he activated his ability Super Sonic for the match. By activating this ability, he will be able to move at astonishing speeds.
So who should he attack first? The unsuspecting or the two up close to him? It was not long before the Remnant decide to make his first attack on Squall. "This should be fun." He said with a slight grin. In less than a fraction of a second a blue aura appeared around Loz, and he was gone. Where did he go to exactly? The remnant was behind Squall and attempted a single, yet powerful elbow attack to the lions back.
Loz knew he needed to act quickly and be somewhat careful. So he jumped high into the air and landed on top of a smaller store. By doing this, he has a birds' eye view of all three opponents he has to fight. Quickly, he took his right hand and pulled his Velvet Nightmare out of its holster on his right leg. His finger gently clenched the trigger and fired off three bullets for Sora, and two bullets for Yuna. After firing he put it away .

Watching carefully, the Keyblade master looked on as the man in black took on a relaxed and confident approach in his answer.
Azure eyes looked on as the man didn't appear to even meet his eye, and Sora remained frowning in disrespect as the stranger admitted he had been discovered, admitting yes to Sora's question. Why did he think he was doing any good a job in hiding himself, if he was trying that, sitting out here as if waiting for people to find him? It was obvious from observing this and from his amused tone the man had meant this, and the brunette signed tensely, becoming ever more cautious that the man was about to cause trouble. "What do you want? Sora asked one more time, giving the man one last chance to be friendly and the benefit of the doubt, but he had a feeling in his gut from the way the conversation was heading that this would not be the case.
Just like his conversation with Sephiroth.
The silence was interrupted, then replaced again, as the spike-head heard soft footsteps running into the Marketplace towards them. Sora looked out the corner of his eye to see Yuna had indeed followed him. Just as he had expected, and a small smile tugged at his lips at her strong-willed words, and at the fact it was his nature to always look happy around young women. He knew he hadn't actually whistled for Yuna physically, and they young man didn't know of the romantic implications she shared the gesture with a friend from his islands he had not seen in such a long time, but he understood it was her way of saying that his heart had called out to hers in friendship. "I'm glad you heard my heart. I could use your help." he said carefully to the fellow brunette, careful not to drop her name to the potential enemy in front of him, which he glanced quickly back to as he inadvertently answered what he was doing here.
He wants to... play?
What was that supposed to mean? Play what? It sounded innocent enough, but his devious tone did not, and as the man stood up Sora noticed Leon coming in to meet them on the other side of his peripheral vision. It was great to see one of his close friends was still alive and brooding, but before he could say anything as to why he was here or even a hello, the man in creaking leather suddenly moved in a blur of blue light. Sora's eyes followed the streak of blue light as the silver-head moved, and watched in shock as the man attempted to elbow Leon from behind, and then moved off again. "Leon!" he called out in warning, and was about to move towards him to help, if it wasn't for the fact he stopped in his tracks when his eyes caught up with his mind that had registered the man that moved faster than his brawn implied was now standing atop a stop and had fired bullets towards him and Yuna. The shopkeepers immediately shut their stores, the Moogle and Scrooge McDuck fleeing into the safety of their shops as the rest of the townspeople deserted the scene in panic.
So this is what the man meant by wanting to play?
This wasn't playing, it wasn't a game, and Sora would show that to him.
Since the bullets had been shot towards him first, it had at least warned Yuna that the man had a gun he was firing upon them, but Sora was too surprised at first to register the man had quickly drawn the weapon before he staggered back from a bullet that had clipped him in the shoulder. Reacting out of pure instinct to protect himself, he thrust his hand forward and summoned his Kingdom Key... but the keyblade did not come. Instead, a familiar silver keyblade appeared in his right gloved hand, a lion's roaring maw hanging from the keychain, as the connection of friendship Sora had in his heart to Leon had manifested itself in the keychain that formed the Sleeping Lion keyblade. The long reach of the weapon of light blocked the other two bullets, reflecting them back towards Loz, and Sora grasped his left hand around the handle as he braced himself into battle position.
The time for talking had passed... the brother of Sephiroth had his chance, and the Sleeping Lion was a symbol of his pride to protect Radiant Garden for his friends.
As the bullets shot out towards Yuna nearby, Sora sprang into action, and knowing he wouldn't reach her in time cast Reflega on her to protect her from the fast projectiles. He raised his keyblade in the air once more, calling down more long-range magic in the form of Thundaga, bolts of sharp lightning striking down onto the shooter on the rooftops above as he yelled "Thunder!" as the voice command to conjure it. His eyes glanced over to Leon, knowing even if the elbow to the back had done some damage, the prideful Lion would shrug it off having taken worse damage and dish it back to his aggressor. Sora would save his magic to assist him when he needed it as he had fought alongside him in the past, and that of Yuna as well, but for now cast his determined gaze back over to the man he now identified definitely was not a friend.
He had his friends by his side, as long as that's all the power he needed, he would help them defend Radiant Garden once more.

Yuna stood there waiting as time passed by slowly. It seemed to take an eternity for anything to happen. Taking in the situation, Yuna took a deep breath. Her eyes flickered from Sora, to the man dressed in black and then to a figure that she almost didn't even recognize before. Blinking her eyes, it seemed as if everything had changed. Well at least time did. Words soon pierced the intermittent silence between the light and dark stage players. They were on display right now before the audience. A beautiful performance was about to commence. The director held his ground steadfast wondering what the outcome would be. The lime light was now on four of them. Who would stay standing and who would fall? There was no script. There was no program. There was only the actors.
In almost a blink of an eye, the black leather man had seemingly vanished from sight with only a blue trail signifying his movement. Yuna, astonished at first stood there simply dumbfounded that the man had so much speed. In fact, she didn't even come to think that this man could have been behind her right now ready to attack! Swirling her brunette hair around to check, her twin colored eyes found nothing behind her except the fleeing populace as some began to take cover.
Sora's voice quickly brought her attention back around addressing someone named Leon. Leon? That must have been the man she had seen only a few moments ago. Twirling her head to try to get a fix on where the black leathered individual had vanished to, her eyes found him standing atop a shop with a weapon already drawn. Her heat almost skipped a beat hearing the crack that echoed through the streets. Gunshots! Oh no what was she going to do! Instinctively raising her hands up, Yuna closed her eyes waiting to feel the impact of the metal into her body. A voice rang out calling upon a familiar spell she knew. Reflega. Opening her eyes, she watched as the bullets harmlessly bounced off the shimmering barrier before falling to the ground harmlessly.
Trying to get back her own thought process. Yuna nodded towards Sora. "Thanks for that Sora." With a determined face, Yuna drew her own twin pistols from her waist and aimed towards the black leathered man. Knowing full well this man had speed on his side, Yuna could use her weapons to at least keep the man on his toes for now while the other two came up with something to pin him down with. She would do just that for now. Clicking the safety locks, her pistols came to life blazing with fire as she unleashed a few shots from both pistols. The man clearly had a tactical mind. He had perched himself on the high ground for the advantage. Yuna just had to make him leave that high ground.

At first it seemed like there wouldn't even be any need to draw a weapon, perhaps even to bother hanging around to help out of Sora would be able to fix this problem on his own, but the SeeD of Balamb Garden had got to know the young Keyblade Master well in the short time they'd both known one another, and when it came to negotiations... Well, lets just say that Sora was a young, key swinging Irvine Kinneas. That thought actually made the Lion chuckle to himself silently, shaking his head from side to side as he instantly dispelled such thoughts, returning his mind to the fact that someone who was more then likely part of the Darkness, was present in Radiant Garden. Squall's eyes were already locked onto the form of the bear-like man in black clothing, and as the silver-haired giant had stood up before the Keyblade Master, Squall's arms lowered themselves down from his chest, ready to draw his Revolver Gunblade should things turn for the worse.
The sudden blue aura that appeared from the black leather man, instantly caused the SeeD to shift his weight back evenly across his legs, causing his body position to shift slightly. It only took a second after that for a rather sharp pain to smack into his shoulder. The slight shift in Squall's balance allowed the sneak elbow attack to miss it's true mark, slamming into his shoulder instead. The force of the blow knocked the SeeD forwards, though his leg shot up and planted itself firmly onto the ground before him, causing the Lion to skid forwards a couple of feet. Squall's head was facing the ground and he then heard the gunshots coming from back over in Sora's direction. The Dark entity was no longer behind him and was instead fighting the Keyblader Master and the fellow woman of light. The SeeD finally raised his head slowly, eyes narrowed as he glared off towards the silver-haired man.
~That was just a love tap...~
Squall thought to himself, placing his left hand onto his right shoulder, rotating the shoulder in a slow circle a couple of times to warm himself up, rather then to help ease the pain. His face showed no sign that it had hurt as his expressionless face continued to stare in the silver-haired man's direction.
~He could have had the chance to cause damage then... I wonder why he held back?~
The SeeD continued to think to himself before raising his his right arm. A flash of light escaped from the Lion's hand as he summoned his Gunblade to his hand (Like in Dissidia), slashing it before himself. Raising the part-gun, part-sword weapon up to rest the blade upon his shoulder, the SeeD walked forwards a few paces as he watched the Gullwing fire off a few rounds from her pistols, attacking at the same time Sora fired off a familiar Thundaga spell. The residents had all be escaped now, apart from the shop owners locked inside their stalls, so there wasn't anything stopping the SeeD from holding back.
Glancing to his right, the SeeD turned and jumped towards the wall of the nearby building, kicking his foot off the stone wall as he launched himself up onto the roof overhead. Now the Light had the high ground as well. Keeping his Gunblade resting upon his shoulder, Squall walked to the edge of the roof, towards the black-leather man, stopping before falling off down to where Sora and Yuna where. From here, he raised up his left hand to his forehead, quickly calling forth his own spell, Fira which quickly materialized within his palm as he extended his arm before himself. Sora's Thundaga would strike from the sky where as Yuna's bullets would head straight for the silver-haired man. Squall's Fira spell was designed to be fast rather then powerful, acting as a means to distract the enemy while he charged in afterwards for several Gunblade strikes. So with a swift swing of his arm, the SeeD fired off the Fira in a large curve off to his right, watching as the basketball sized fireball arched around like a soccer player kicking and curving the ball, swinging around to aim for the silver-haired man's flank. (The side of Loz's torso/left arm area)

Just about all of his attacks were blocked from the heroes of light. Loz noticed Squall took the hit from earlier, and Sora took a bullet? It did not take long before two of his own bullets were fired back at him. Along with extra ones from Yuna.The Remnant dived to the right of him just barely missing the bullets. However, the thunder and fire spells hit him. While the thunder struck his back the fire hit his ribs. As he got up, he slightly stretched his arms.
"Is that all? I thought this was going to be fun." Loz said with a shrug. Almost immediately Loz made an front flip off the build and punched the ground. Thus sending out a powerful shock wave in all directions. His main goal for this attack was to knock down some of the stores. That way there will be fewer aerial attacks, hopefully. The spikes on his Dual Hound darted out, and he instantly grabbed the bar.
Once more, Loz was gone in a flash of blue light. This time he was behind Yuna and tried to use his Stun punch. If this attack would go through, she would have to hope her friends would protect her at all cost. Quickly, Loz vanished and appeared in front of Sora and attempted one power packed punch to his gut. Now his turn is over. He slightly moved back, but more to the right. It was time for close combat.
(Ok, if the attack goes through on Yuna she can't move or make an attack for her whole next post. Sorry the post is not longer, my computer has been moving rather slow..)

(OOC: Uh, Loz, if you actually watched the movie his shockwave only went in a path in one direction, not all of them. I can see this wasn't cleared up in your application, so I'll overlook it this time, but just be mindful of what your powers are limited to.)
His breath shallow and azure eyes locked on his target, Sora buckled down into a defensive position, and awaited to see what his new enemy was capable of.
The man in black was struck by his and Leon's magic, but seemed to shrug it off and taunt them, as if it hadn't hurt him at all. A frown still apparent in the expression of the Keyblade Master's face, he could tell that his opponent was putting on a brave face of his own, and that the magic was effective in some way. He watched as Sephiroth's brother flipped off the stall and smashed his arm into the ground, creating a shockwave in his direction, which he could see coming and simply Double Jump'd over in quick movement. He landed back on his feet, but realized it had been merely a distraction for the man to use his impossible speed, to race towards Yuna in a offensive. By the time Sora landed back on his feet to clear the shockwave, Sora had turned to try and defend his friend from the shocking blow that was delivered, but it came too late.
"Yuna!"
The girl had been part of a strange little bunch of fairies Sora had bumped into on his way to discover the computer in Ansem's secret study, working against them for the promise of treasure, but in the end with the lie from Donald that Leon had more treasure she and her friends had risked their lives to help them defend Radiant Garden from the Heartless and Organization raid. Now she was doing that out of pure loyalty, not having anything to do with greed or riches, and Sora had to remember that was one of the reasons he was fighting for this world. So that friends like Yuna and the Gullwings, who weren't part of the HBRC, would still be honored and assisted when they came to help him and Leon out in a battle like this. Sora braced himself, considering the speedster was going to either come at him or Leon next with the same shocking attack, but having twisted around to attempt to come to Yuna's aid his keyblade hadn't been lowered quickly enough across his body when he felt the hefty presence land his heavy blow.
The blow had missed his gut due to the twisting, and impacted against his ribs, almost completely knocking the wind out of him.
Sora had taken harder blows in his experience however, and taking a deep breath to quickly recover as he swung his lengthy silver keyblade in retalation, after a short upper combo to distract Sephiroth's brother he quickly swung his keyblade with his right arm out in a deep arch from the left side of his body in a Upper Slash. If this powerful keyblade uppercut attack went through and hit the leather-clad man, it would send him flying into the air above him towards the prideful Lion. Sora had identified that Leon had used Fira, and from his experience having fought the man himself... both from his very first encounter with him in Traverse Town to his matches against him in Olympus Coliseum, he knew his friend favored using magic whenever he liked to create a distraction to close in to use his devastating close-combat fighting techniques. This strike on the silver-head would hopefully set him up further away from Sora so Leon could do exactly that, in a show of co-ordination and teamwork, for he knew Leon would have done the same thing as him if he predicted the keyblade master's fighting technique.
He looked at the gunblade wielder out of the corner of his eye, a smile creeping up into his lips, his curt nod to him he hoped he would understand this setup.
He hoped the gunner wasn't paralyzed and out of the battle for the moment, but Yuna wasn't his only friend here, as proven by the appearance of Sleeping Lion. His friend had seen a lot of hardship since his days as a novice keyblade master, fighting back Heartless and getting back to this world with Sora leading and clearing the charge, just as much as this world had that Ansem and his apprentices had wrought upon it. It had survived the raid and the total destruction of villains invading it like Sephiroth and his kin, and it would from this sibling because it was strong just like Leon was. Leon took pride in being the leader and making sure to protect the world from danger in his absence, and he remained unflinching in his resolve in the face of uncertainty and adversity, and the words that he left imprinted in Sora's memory were the inspiration that drove Sora not to let all his hard work and efforts be for naught. The infamous quote that he liked to do the impersonation along with it, being that even though they were far apart and separated, they would find a way to see each other.
There was another reason for his resolve, but for the moment Sora got himself ready in anticipation for the next move towards the fisted fighter, jumping back and strafing around to his left-hand side as he put his ever-evolving plan into action.

Yuna watched with the utmost concentration as the man that fought along side them began to cast a familiar spell she had seen. She nodded mentally to herself that this was someone she could trust. If Sora had his hope in him, then she could to. There was one thing she found odd. With so many opponents, this black leathered man seemed to be dishing out equal amounts of damage rather than focusing on just one of them. Was this really all a game to him? Surely this wasn't a game at all! How could life and death matters be considered so trivial! Shaking her head as she watched the play unfold before her, a burst of lightning from Sora's previous spell as well as the Fira spell from their ally made contact.
Shockingly though, the man seemed to shrug it off as merely nothing with a rather arrogant and sly comment. Slightly shocked that two attacks hardly even phased the man, Yuna watched as he disappeared again with that odd blue trail. Her focus was still on that of his last location. It was as if she was watching time pass by her in slow motion. What seemed like seconds turned into minutes. Those minutes seemed to turn into hours. It wasn't until what seemed like years later that her ears picked up a familiar voice calling out her name.
Too late.
Blinking her eyes, Yuna felt a sudden jolt of pain as a blow from the sneaky leathered individual made contact with her. Her mouth opened to say something, anything but no words could come out. She could feel surges of an odd tingling sensation cross over her entire body. Her eyes glanced around in a blur as she watched herself begin to fall. Collapsing to the ground with her twin pistols cluttering as well, Yuna tried to catch her breath as she felt the odd sensation take over her body. She could hardly move, let alone breathe.
She tried to lift up her arms, her legs, anything really but to no avail nothing could move. Crumpled to the ground on her hands and knees, she tried to will herself free from the odd paralyzing sensation. No she couldn't fall here, her friends needed her. They couldn't lose, they just couldn't! Darkness was something Yuna needed to drive back. It only filled lives with sadness. A sadness she herself had known as well. To experience such grief was unbearable. Why would people ever want to expose others to such? Revenge? Malicious intentions? The list could go on. Yuna took another deep breath as she tried to move once again. She could only imagine what was happening now.

This felt like it was going to turn out to be a much longer battle then first expected, even if the legendary Keyblade Master was fighting along side himself and the familiar pistol wielding woman. Seeing Sora wielding the Sleeping Lion Keyblade only made the Prideful Lion's heart feel warmer, knowing that the young brown-haired lad still had a strong friendship bond within his heart, towards himself. Even after all the SeeD had put the lad through during their first encounter together in Traverse Town, and even when not holding back against him when in the Tournaments held at the Olympus Coliseum. Those were the good old days, fighting as a means to entertain the innocents in the Kingdom Heart universe, where the only darkness users to be destroyed were straggling heartless. Even when teamed up with Yuffie and in a second match along side Cloud Strife, did the brown-haired boy reveal the strength of his heart, defeating the SeeD both times. He was truly a remarkable individual.
However as the Thundaga and Fira spells bounced off the leather-clad male with what seemed to visually be no effect, Leon's eyes narrowed a fraction tighter, knowing that solo attacks weren't going to be as effective as if striking together at the same time with melee attacks, alongside Sora or Yuna. On a side note, Squall knew his Fira attack was a lot weaker then other variants used by other spell casters. It was a distraction technique. A spell used to test the speed of the opponent, yet it seemed that this silver-haired male could move at incredible speeds when the blue trail was present. That would make back attacks and preemptive strikes something to watch out for. Something that unfortunately, the silver-haired man used to Yuna's misfortune.
Yet before that, the leather-clad male has shrugged off the spells before taunting the heroes with an unnecessary comment. The Lion didn't move from his perched position as he watched the Remnant jump down to where Sora and Yuna were, smashing his odd gauntlet looking weapon into the floor. The impact sent a shock wave towards the keybarer, who managed to evade the attack with a double jump. On the high ground, the shock wave didn't even reach the SeeD as he continued to look on, waiting for the opportune moment to move in and attack. It was now that Yuna got struck by the silver-haired man's back attack, a jolt of electricity being heard coming from the spiked metal gauntlet as he drove an attack into her spine. It looked nasty as the female gunner instantly seemed to freeze on the spot before falling to her knees in some sort of paralyzed state.
"Hmph..."
Muttered the SeeD.
~I'm going to have to keep an eye out for that.~
Leon thought to himself as he caught site of Sora's attack, spotting the nod sent his way which the Lion acted upon instantly.
Whether or not the Keyblade Master's attack had launched the silver-haired man up into the air... made no difference to the SeeD. The enemy had his back to Squall so now would be the best chance to attack, taking the enemies flank again to deal extra damage. The Fira spell worked, so what was stopping a gunblade strike? Squall quickly brought his gunblade down before him in a fast horizontal slice, the razor sharp blade singing beautifully as it slashed through the air. A bright blue aura suddenly surrounded the gunblade as the leader of the Restoration Committee charged up his Rough Divide. A second later and the Lion bolted through the air in a straight line, his feet not touching the ground as he held his Revolver gunblade by his side, homing in quickly towards the leather-clad man. Squall was most likely moving slower then when Loz would while using the blue-trail skill, but if Sora's attack had indeed knocked the Remnant into the air, then chances are this strike would hit home.
It took a second for the SeeD to cover the distance from his perched position over to where the enemy was engaging Sora. When within melee range, Squall unleashed a powerful diagonal blow from his Gunblade, pulling the trigger to fire off a round as the gun barrel exploded in a fiery cloud, sending a vibration down the sword's blade to increase it's damage were it to make a solid impact. After passing the silver-haired man, the prideful Lion's feet slammed onto the ground, skidding him to a halt from his speedy charge. Twisting his whole body around, the sound of gravel crunching under his foot as he span, Squall quickly lowered his whole body down to where Yuna was crouched on her knees, yet his eyes darted towards the Keybarer.
"I'll guard Yuna... think you can handle him on your own for five minutes?"
Squall said, having already helped the paralyzed woman to her feet before even finishing his sentence. Slinging the gunner's right arm over his shoulders, Squall wielded his gunblade in only one hand as he shifted into a defensive stance, his left arm wrapped securely around Yuna's waist to keep her upright. His eyes quickly flicking from the Gullwing, over towards the silver-haired enemy, keeping his guard up to protect himself and the Gullwing from any surprise attacks until she had recover.
