(Thread restarted due to mutual agreement)
As the wind blew through the forest on yet another idyllic day, a white feather, glowing with its own radiant light, floated through the trees. Before it hit the ground, it flashed in a brilliant light before dissipating and revealing a figure with radiant wings curled around her. As they unfurled from the figure and faded away, a woman stood in the forest, her hands resting on the pommel of her sword and the tip of it resting on the ground. Once the spell that brought her here ended, she opened her eyes, taking in her surroundings. "Quite a majestic forest, almost like it's out of a fairy tale..." Anja muttered as she walked, holding her sword by the scabbard. "Though this world reeks of Darkness... I must be cautious." She continued to walk for a while, keeping alert for any Heartless or hostile wildlife.
Eventually, she walked to a clearing and found herself in front of a cottage. Anja, having seen no other residence or, really, any other person, she walked towards the cottage, still on edge. As she walked up to the house, she looked inside the window. No one. Not a soul was in there or at least that's what it looked like. Anja then knocked on the door. No answer. Anja sighed and shrugged. "I suppose I should have expected as such." Suddenly, she could smell the Darkness. She turned and saw the Heartless rising, a veritable legion of them appearing. Anja gritted her teeth and unsheathes Claiomh Solais, the scabbard disappearing in a flash of light. She then gathered Light energy into Claiomh Solais and got into a fighting stance. She sliced at the air and summoned five Swords of Light before shouting, "Fiends borne of Darkness, Despair! For I am your end!"
------------
Imbue Claiomh Solais - Anja focuses Light into Claiomh Solais, making it glow with a sacred light. This allows her attacks to be more damaging, due to having Light coursing through it. While there is no limit on the duration of this upgrade, Anja must be able to keep the power within the blade. Thus, if she's knocked out or reeling from a powerful attack or she is disarmed, this buff is disrupted. This counts even if disarmed and then called via Blade Bond
[Cooldown: 2 posts]
Swords of Light - Anja raises her sword and suddenly slices at the air in front of her. She creates five blades of light, which then become animate and home in on any unlucky opponents. Should they make contact, they explode, damaging the opponent and possibly setting him/her up for more attacks from the other Swords of Light. Should they not make contact with any opponent, the swords dissipate after a certain duration.
[Duration: 3 rounds] [Cooldown: 5 rounds]
---------------
Heartless:
Shadow x10
Soldier x10
Rapid Thruster x10
Bolt Tower x4
Assault Rider x3

Tell me, why is it... The Princesses of Light. They needed to be protected, no matter the cost. The Masked Man had been searching for them, Cloud knew that much. What for he couldn’t do but question, but whatever it was it certainly wasn’t going to be good for the worlds. That was why the One Winged Demon had come: to make sure that Snow White didn’t fall into the hands of the masked enemy. From what he’d heard, she lived part of her time out in the woodlands with the dwarves that she’d lived with for all those years. That is where Cloud was starting his search, trying to find where this little cottage was in the sea of trees before him. He hugged the tree line, carefully glancing up over and again to keep himself from colliding with a branch as he flew overhead. He was finally starting to get the hang of it, though it took a lot more energy than if he’d just taken Fenrir. That aside, at least he wasn’t stuck by the obstacles that occasionally blocked the roads and the trees that could keep him from driving up to the cottage if it lay where the massive motorcycle couldn’t go.
It wasn’t long, perhaps an hour before he spotted the cottage. It was beside a clearing, quite convenient if one actually thought about it. Cloud had thought that maybe the Princesses of Light would live somewhere a little more... Defended? No matter, at least he’d found what he was looking for. That and something else, at least. Beside the house was the figure of a young woman peeking within the house, causing Cloud to narrow his eyes. What was she doing here? Before he thoughts could go any further though, she was suddenly surrounded by a small army of Heartless. She spun and summoned her blades, her form and ability reminding her of the Warrior of Light that he’d fought alongside during the Dissidia Wars. This brought a small smile upon his face. Ah, the good ol’ days...
Wait, what? Cloud shook his head. Good ol’ days? What was he thinking, it’d been one of the worst times of his life. He guessed the Darkness was finally starting to get to his head. With a snort he tucked his wing, quickly descending upon the battle as Ultima Weapon formed in a flash of light into his hand. Throwing his wing out he halted his dive, raising the blade as energy crackled down from its handle to its tip. “Watch out!” Cloud warned her, dropping to the ground like a stone beside her as he buried the sword’s edge into the ground to unleash Blade Beam, the powerful arc of blue energy sailing across the ground before it would collide into one of the Assault Riders in a brilliant mako colored explosion, the remaining energy of the attack rippling off in different arcs towards the other Heartless opponents. He slowly stood, yanking the blade out of the ground as he looked over his shoulder towards the woman.
“Everything will be fine, no one’s getting the princess,” Cloud told her, before focusing his attention back towards their opponents. He narrowed his eyes, holding Ultima Weapon firmly before him now as he spread his feet into stance. This group was nothing compared to that which he and Leon had forced back in Radiant Garden, he was sure that they’d have a similar lack of trouble here. If she proved to be as tough as she looked, at least. He didn't know if Genesis was nearby as well, they'd parted ways after Beast's Castle in their own searches for the common foe. It didn't matter though, even if he had to do it alone Cloud knew what needed to be done and he'd see it through to the end.

The horde of Heartless stood between Anja and freedom as her sword glowed with sacred brilliance. She waved an arm and the Swords of Light flew across the battlefield, seeking their targets. She then got into a battle stance before an odd thing happened. One of the Assault Riders was blindsided by a large wave of energy, dissipating immediately. That wave of energy then dissipated into many smaller waves of energy, which slammed into the other Heartless. They seemed to be weaker as well, as all were injured, but none fell. A blonde man then came to Anja's side and Anja could but raise an eyebrow at his appearance. He wore all black, had blonde hair, very blue eyes and the biggest sword she had laid eyes on. It was positively absurd and looked needlessly complex. How did he even manage to lift thing, much less fight effectively with it? The man then mentioned something about a princess. A Princess? Is she in danger... there is more to this man than meets the eye. Perhaps a Prince hoping to rescue the object of his affection?
She was interrupted from questioning the blonde man again. The remaining two Assault Riders had teamed up and were charging straight at her. She growled and closed her eyes. "Though my comrades are worlds away..." she prayed, her blade glowing, "THEY FIGHT WITH ME!" As soon as the Assault Riders got close enough, Anja swung her sword and several slices of Light slashed at the Assault Riders, cutting away at their bodies. Then Anja turned her sword around and hit both of the Heartless with one final slash, ending them both. Anja then turned and found a Bolt Tower nearing her. Anja merely uttered a "Hmph" and charged at it and used Purging the Sin, slashing at the Bolt Tower over and over again before finishing it with two powerful slashes, sending the Tower flying as it disappeared.
The Heartless now got on the offensive, their numbers having dwindled quite rapidly. Two of the Bolt Towers floated to Cloud. One of them tried to slam its body down on Cloud's spiky head, while the other tried to electrocute Genesis. The Rapid Thrusters also tried to swarm Cloud with attacks, while the remaining Shadows and Soldiers ambushed Anja and Cloud, injuring Anja in the process. The remaining Bolt Tower also used its Lightning attack on the Paladin, electrocuting her. She stood her ground, breathing heavily from the burns she received, though they were minor.

Pain of a Thousand Blades - Anja swings her blades once and several slashes made of light strike at the opponent. The instant the final slash connects (or misses, depending on the opponent), Anja moves in and slices the opponent.
[Cooldown: 2 rounds]
Purging the Sin - Anja readies herself for battle and then charges in, unleashing a multitude of extremely powerful slices that are enhanced by the Light. The last two slices finish up the combo and are extremely strong, capable of knocking back an opponent for quite a distance.
[Cooldown: 3 rounds.]

It is seeming like... The Imaginary SOLDIER hardly noticed Anja’s questioning glance, more focused on the Heartless that surrounded them. She was a rather impressive fighter, chaining off of his own attacks to cut the numbers from thirty seven to ten. Her style of using the Light in her attacks reminded him of how the Warrior of Light had fought back in the Dissidia Wars, making him question whether or not they were connected somehow. Now was not the time to ponder however, because the Heartless had begun to attack. One of the Bolt Tower’s colliding with Cloud’s head causing him to flinch while the other’s bolt attack left his outfit singed. This left him vulnerable to the Shadows and Soldier’s attacks, which forced him stumbling back into the wall of the cottage. He growled, shoving off the structure as he brought Ultima Weapon to his side then raced towards the small group of Heartless, to drive his sword through the two shadows before he drove his foot into the ground to allow him to spin and swing his sword upwards like a bat to send the Soldiers airborne. He then leaped into the air above the duo, driving his sword downward to finish Climhazzard and hopefully finish the small group.
Glancing towards one of the Bolt Towers, specifically the one that had struck him, Cloud darted once more and swung his sword twice in rapid succession at his target, hoping to send it reeling into the other tower with with Double Cut and kill them both. He supposed the woman could handle the remaining two Heartless, and stood tall as he watched the heart that the monster had held hostage become free from its dark prison. It reminded him of his mission, to protect the Princesses of Heart from the Masked Man. He looked back over his shoulder to the cottage, setting his eyes once again on the windows. Was Snow White in there? No, if she was she probably would’ve awoken and emerged from the chaos caused first by the woman and then by the Heartless. She was probably at the castle, safe with the prince and the others. Well, as safe as anyone could be with the Masked Man prowling around. She needed powerful allies to defend against the likes of him, which was why he and Genesis had begun their search for the princesses and specifically why he had come to this remote world. Perhaps he could even convince her to leave for now to a safer location until the threat against the worlds was over.
It wouldn’t be that easy though, Cloud had a feeling about that. The world would fight against having their Princess taken, and she would feel obligated to remain and stand against the threat even with the obvious fact that they didn’t stand a chance against their opponent. He sighed, shaking his head as he pulled himself out of thought and brought his attention back to the battle. Holding Ultima Weapon firmly before him once more, he narrowed his eyes at the two remaining Heartless near him as he waited for what came next, ready to finish them off if the woman had any difficulty.

Anja backed away from the two Heartless, her sword at the ready. They stalked her relentlessly, though. The Paladin witnessed the blonde man easily taking care of the group dispatched to take care of him. She also saw something else in the air. She visibly relaxed, standing up and lowering her sword. The two Heartless looked at each other, rather confused. Anja then sheathed her sword and started to walk in between the duo, unimpressed by the presence of the Heartless. The two then got ready to attack. "Though I walk through the valley of death..." Anja began and as she did so, her Swords of Light pierced the two Heartless mid-attack, stopping them cold. Anja then continued walking away, rather calmly. "I fear no evil." The Swords of Light then exploded, taking the Heartless with them, the combined shockwave blowing Anja's hair and dress as she walked towards the blonde man with the gigantic sword.
As she stopped before the man, she found herself looking up, as she was a good head shorter than the spiky-haired man. However, her gaze gave herself away. She was not some maiden who got lucky in finding a magic sword. Anja had the gaze of someone who had seen plenty of battles and trained many a soldier. In short, she had the look of someone who wanted answers and was going to get them. "While I appreciate the help and support... who are you? You said something about princesses being in danger. Who are you and what's going on, sir, with all due respect?
