Such a strange world this was.
Mordred had just arrived in what appeared to be the mouth of the giant whale known as Monstro. He found the world strange and wondered why it was in the form of a giant whale. But it mattered not to him. After all, a world was a world and within every world was a Heart, waiting to be harvested. Unfortunately, the only thing that seemed to live here were Heartless and while he freed many a heart on his way here, he knew that they were not the prize he sought for.
"Eden... My Eden will relish this world's Heart. It hungers for it..." Mordred muttered to himself. He could sense the Darkness within it already. Once it succumbed to the Darkness, it would be his. It would serve as an incredible test for his burgeoning world. He almost wished there was a sky above him so he could look at his specimen grow brighter with each new heart. As he mused to himself, he could sense the presence of someone else. Someone with a strong heart at that. It was a strength Mordred had not felt before. Mordred adjusted his glasses and continued further into the mouth, adjusting his kinetic energy so that he merely walked across the whale's saliva as he moved to more solid ground nearest to a boat that had seen better days.
He had to see this creature. It would be impolite not to. Besides, it could be the one who wielded the legendary Keyblade and if it was, he had to see it in action at least once. If a Keyblader was as strong as he thought, it would provide invaluable data, even if the Analytical Wanderer should lose. But he had no intention of giving up this world's heart to anyone. It was for Eden and his research would be impeded by no one.

Monstro. The Great Whale. Of all the worlds in the sea of stars, this one would be the least desirable anyone would visit willingly. Who would want to spend their time in the digestive tract of a whale that had grown so large, only space could be the ocean in which it had become submerged? Inhaling anything and everything that came within it's path, save worlds that were just as large as it was, the space leviathan truly was an obstacle that all traveling in The Lanes Between should avoid. And perfect for his first world he would cleanse of it's taint. Mariano stood on one of the piles of wood that the whale had swallowed, which had once used to be a wooden ship. How the ship came to be here and who it's occupants were, along with if it was a gummi ship along with the rest of the scrap heaps scattered along the whale's taste buds, would never be answered as there was not another soul in sight. Which the apprentice preferred, as he would remain unopposed while converting the heart of the world for his and his master's ultimate goal. He could sense the heart of this colossal mammal had been converted so darkness would completely engulf it; perhaps a user of the darkness who was one of the ships stranded here, or maybe to use it as a vessel? It mattered not, for while he could not reach the heart of the beast from it's digestive system, he would not need to near it in order to change it's alliance back to the transparency of Neutrality. And so he waited as he leaned back slightly on a vertical wall of wood, figuring if anyone were to come, they would enter from or near the world's entrance of the creature's mouth. It had been a while, and he wondered to himself during the eerie dripping of the whale's saliva in the ambiance of the background, much like the dripping of water in a cavern. His master had fled after their last attempt of the world Spira, and he had to follow suit in a tactical retreat or else face undesirable circumstances under overwhelming odds; would the idea of separating to convert different worlds bear any more fruit than standing together? What plans did his master have exactly of converging this whale's heart to neither light nor darkness, but the supremacy of the fine balance in between? His thoughts were answered not by an afterthought, but the sense of an arrival. A dark corridor, and the man in the ninja-like mask and gear watched as a individual slunk through an open Corridor of Darkness into the immediate area. Well, about time things got interesting, he contemplated in amusement to himself, leaning forward off the wall. He couldn't tell who it was under that hood of his, but it looked like one of those annoying figures that grouped together in black-hooded cloaks, which were Nobodies. As soon as he remained still and heard the man mutter, he made his presence known as he spoke aloud with a voice that echoed through the caverns. "I don't know what this Eden is... but I can assure you, the fate of this creature's heart will be ascertained by me. Gotta follow orders... let's cut right to the chase, shall we? You're not welcome here." he smirked, and leaped off the platform he was standing on. As he did so, his Keyblade materialized in his hand not in darkness nor light, just simply as if he plucked it out of thin air like a shuriken or nagi-nata. He swung it out over his head in an arc, holding itself in a horizontal manner as he chopped down upon the newcomer's shoulder to slice cleanly across his chest and mid-section. It it was swift and the character feeble, it would strike him down in one blow and end this battle before it even began. But... Mariano was hoping it would not, so he could at least have some fun with a challenge long enough to convert the world, before the stranger could do anything about it to stop him.

So, his hunch was right. It was nice to know that his senses, even when in the overpowering stench of the whale's mouth, were accurate as always. Mordred stopped, but didn't look up. He merely stood like a specter, standing on the water's surface. He didn't even have time to respond as the Keyblader jumped down and tried to slice down at him. Mordred didn't react, flinch or even move. He still didn't even look up. However, Reaper of Light, his chain-sickle, suddenly flew out of the right sleeve of his robes and curled around, blocking the Keyblade with the chain. Amazingly, despite not looking like it was being held by Mordred, the chain part was incredibly tough and pulled taut, so the Keyblade could not reach its target. Mordred finally decided to look at his assailant, adjusting his glasses, the image of a Keyblade reflected in their lens as the Nobody's scarlet eyes seemed to pierce right into the Keyblader's soul as he Analyzed him.
"Hmm... Mariano. A Keyblader, obviously. An apprentice, at that... A heart not of Light or Dark, but perfectly balanced. Interesting." Mordred said, his tone of voice the usual indifferent and cold tone. "A pity, though. I was hoping I wouldn't have to destroy a Keyblader during my research. You're worth more alive than dead. But I suppose I could try driving you off. Unless, of course, you wish to continue protecting this World's heart then... I suppose, I will have no choice." And with that, he deflected the Keyblade away from him and unleashed a savage combo with Reaper of Light. The chain-sickle whipped and sliced around him and at Mariano at an incredible speed. However, Mordred still did not look like he was physically moving it. Rather, it looked more like he was controlling its movements with his mind.

As the apprentice leaped down to provide the first strike in this battle, his expectation for his weapon to cleave through robe and flesh was not met when it instead met solid steel. Mariano examined the weapon quickly as it was held up in thin air, holding his blade against it as he looked at the reflection of light upon the man's glasses. He listened as the man spoke his name, and read his alignment quite accurately. This was quite the surprise, as obviously this information rarely was available to anyone... but from the way he spoke of it, it sounded like he was reading of it then and there with an ability of some sort. A short, antagonizing chuckle came from beneath his mask as he replied, "Yes, so you've figured me out without using your own brain... if only that were my real name."
It was true, for then his master found him, he had lost all memory of who he once was, even his own name. His master gave him that name, and while he felt he could have been given a better-sounding name, he supposed it did sound like an enigma... much like himself. As the Nobody spoke once more babbling about regarding something about 'research', and the self-preposed idea he was either going to destroy him or fend him off, the blade started moving again in a combo against him. He held his keyblade against the blade to avoid damage as much as he could, but the blade slipped and cut across his fingers and across the garb of his chest a few times before he parried the blows once more. "I know, how about a compromise. You won't have to destroy me or drive me off, I destroy you or force you away, and that way I stay alive and you... well, not so well for you except you won't need to defend this heart. I'm not protecting this heart, if you had any sense with your heart-reading you'd know this creature's heart once belonged to Darkness... but now I'm here to convert it that's no longer the case, or your concern."
Finishing his talking as the combo ended, he seized his chance. He hooked the handle and handguard of his keyblade over the sickle of the blade as he leapt around it, wrapping the blade around the chain to restrict the weapon, before letting go and sliding over to the cloaked man in black. "Bet you your weapon cannot do this." he snickered, and instantly his keyblade was pulled out of midair as he made a quick horizontal slash to the Nobody's side and back, darting around his opponent as he made the slice. Watching back between the floating weapon and the man, he quickly made his assessment. "If not, let's see if you can evade this, hmm?" He thrusted forward again, increasing his speed dramatically as he seemingly slided across the ground and from many different directions in the span of a few seconds, passing his blade through Mordred as he did so. Finishing that combo as a aura of purple light continued to surround his form, he pointed the keyblade's tip at the Nobody as his finisher of Combination Rush, and instantly zipped through him almost as fast as if he were teleporting before a massive explosion rippled where the blade had made contact with it's intended target. "I'd say from the black cloak, telekinetic powers and complete lack of emotions that you're what they call a Nobody, no? So now you know my pseudonym, what's your name? And what's this 'research' you're supposed to be conducting?" he questioned, completely disregarding if the explosion heeded his opponent's hearing or ability to answer, but proceeded to strafe his target cautiously.

Mordred sighed. His weapon was not one to be taken lightly, as well as his prowess with it. And yet, every opponent seemed to think they could incapacitate it in some way. Mordred was starting to find this all very predictable. Reaper of Light unraveled itself and immediately blocked the first attack. It was the Combination Rush that proved more difficult to dodge. Sure, the chain-sickle was as fast as it was agile, but Mariano was moving too quickly to block all of the attacks, as Mordred was hit by half of them. However, despite the attacks, he did not show any sign of pain, his face like a mask of indifference. He then saw Mariano prepare a finisher and decided to not be in the way. However, it seemed that Mariano actually connected with the finisher and the explosion annihilated the Nobody. But, alas, it only seemed that way, as the smoke cleared and Mordred was no where in sight. Until...
"Quite strong..." Mordred said. He was behind Mariano, having jumped out of the way of the attack and landed on what had to be the thinnest, most upright piece of wood in the Whale. However, Mordred seemed to have perfect balance on it as his cloak billowed dramatically. He pulled down his hood, revealing his face and adjusted his glasses. "Hmm... if that's not your real name, then I suppose your Memories are buried deep within your Heart somewhere. As for your... 'compromise', I'm afraid I'll pass. I cannot forsake my research on a whim." He then tilted his head at the Keyblader's assessment. "You are correct, Mariano, although, many of my kind do not possess the same abilities as I do. I would not presume so much in the future. As for my name..." He considered the notion, then shrugged. "It is Mordred. However, my research is strictly to be only known by me. I'm afraid I cannot simply give you that kind of information. Now... I suppose I should conduct a proper retaliation." Mordred looked around as his chain-sickle orbited around him. He then launched the chain sickle at the various towers of discarded wood, dislodging them. Before they could hit the water, they floated to Mordred and they orbited around him like a ring around a planet. Suddenly they lined up around Mariano, surrounding him. Mordred then snapped his fingers and the wood, some of them rather large, others small, but looked like they could pierce the body, was fired at the Keyblader.

As the keyblader left the weapon behind him to make his second strike of the battle against the unguarded intruder, his weapon met solid steel again, and he grunted. How had the Nobody been able to move his weapon between them, faster than he could summon his keyblade instantaneously to him? No matter, he supposed. He might be able to call his weapon to him quickly at the same speed he could, but he could not keep up his guard forever. He began the Combination Rush, striking Mordred with at least half of them in satisfaction.
Of course, Mariano did not expect his opponent to be finished, far from it, or that his finisher would connect. As he strafed to maintain distance from his target, he redirected his eyes back up to where this stranger had found an even higher point than his initial entry. "Feeling threatened, and now morally superior, now you have ground higher than mine? Oh, that's correct... you don't feel, do you Nobody? Such a shame, I suppose it's just a tactical approach for you." he snickered, now that his opponent had decided to pause the battle to bore him by addressing him. "You should take your own advice, Nobody. Don't you presume that you know anything about my name, or my memories; but then, I suppose you'll only follow my advice about as much as I follow yours." He swung his keyblade, waiting for the man that introduced himself as Mordred to hurry up and attack him already. "I didn't say it was a request. 'Research' or not that you don't wish to elaborate, I'm going to cast you away, just like you cast away your heart. You're nothingness, just an empty shell."
Then the attack came. Mariano watched as he used his weapon to dislodge debris in the whale, and then surrounded them around him. He kept his guard up, waiting for the attack to come, studying how it would be executed. As the rubble encircled around him, he waited, and then they flew at him. He bent his legs as he crouched, then leaped up straight into the air through the ring of projectiles as they snapped and cracked beneath him, slashing through the larger pieces that strayed to close. Pulling a wedge of wood that lodged in his shoulder and thigh, gravity pulled him down as he slashed at a pile of wood Mordred was standing next to, causing it to topple over and cascade down like a violent avalanche. "An interesting technique... maybe even impressive... but not by enough." he complimented, throwing his keyblade down accompanied by several conjured energy copies of it as he executed Slash Disks.

Combination Rush: One post to cool down.
Slash Disks: A simple ranged projectile attack, Mariano throws his keyblade forward in a spin, five energy imitations of the blade spin forward from the weapon in a barrage before the real blade hits the target(s). The facades are made of energy and are destroyed upon hitting their target(s), but the real keyblade returns to Marino's hand. If there is only one enemy, they recieve all of the barrage, but if there's multiple it spreads out between them. (Cooldown is one post.)
