Xamira keeps fighting, not seeming to get tired at all. | |

(7th Sep 08 at 10:35pm UTC) | | | Mario blocks another attack and then slashes at three more Nobodies, quickly switching hands and using the Shadow Blade with his left hand while talking on the phone with his right. "Um, no," Mario states, quickly leaping over the figure. "Why?" | |

"I'd love to come help out, but I'm in a bit of a bind myself. Tell me, was there some sort of attack on Hollow Bastion involving more than a thousand Heartless some time ago?" | |

The line goes dead then. Xamira keeps fighting, with the Huntsman and Rose beside her. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: NYC, Ya Heard? (8th Sep 08 at 12:38am UTC) | | Mario quickly hangs up and pockets the phone, spinning around to block yet another attack from the figure.
"You seem to be doing much better this time," the figure states.
"Well, I've kinda had time to learn your fighting style now," Mario states as he blocks another attack and then spins around to slash three more Nobodies.
"Is that so?" the figure says before chuckling. "Well then, this fight might actually be fun." The figure snaps his fingers, and the Nobodies attacking Mario stop and go over to join the Nobodies attacking the rest of the group.
Jake and Lao Shi continue to fight as well while Fu Dog flings potions around to both disorientate the Nobodies and to heal the group members. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: NYC, Ya Heard? (8th Sep 08 at 10:55pm UTC) | | | Mario blocks more attacks from the figure before he notices Xamira. "Crap," he mutters, remembering the poison. Without hesitation, Mario quickly twirls his Shadow Blade around, a green aura surrounding it. "Xamira!" he yells, tossing his Shadow Blade toward her just beyond the Nobodies. However, as the Shadow Blade strikes her during the Strike Raid, she is not damaged. Instead, she is healed. This Strike Raid is actually a Cure Raid. The Shadow Blade disappears after the hit and reappears in Mario's hand just in time to block another attack. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: NYC, Ya Heard? (9th Sep 08 at 7:57pm UTC) | | The battle was slowly turning for the better as the Nobodies were now diminished to approximately 75% of their original numbers.
Mario, meanwhile, continues to battle and keep the figure occupied, throwing a few occasional slashes toward the Nobodies when possible. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: NYC, Ya Heard? (10th Sep 08 at 8:18pm UTC) | | In no time at all, the last of the Nobodies are defeated. All is calm now...
...until another clash alerts everyone to the battle still ensuing between Mario and the figure.
Mario drops to one knee, block a downward swipe with his Shadow Blade as he breathes a little heavily.
"Your resistance is impressive," the figure says as he pushes on his attack. "You are definitely lasting longer than before. However, this battle will be over soon as will your existence."
"You're half right," Mario responds before he knocks away the attack, quickly leaping back to avoid the backswing. Then, with a quick rush, he charges toward the figure.
The figure looks up at him as he brings his Keyblade back. "Zantetsu-"
"Not this time!" Mario yells as he tosses a Strike Raid toward the Keyblade, breaking the figure's stance. With the figure stunned, Mario quickly rushes in and, recalling his Shadow Blade, does a quick slash as he runs by the figure.
The figure puts up his free arm to quickly block the blow, being knocked back slightly as Mario rushes past him. However, as he comes to a halt and Mario also stops, his hood slips off his head, knocked off by the blow as well.
Mario now glances back at the figure then freezes, seeing something that simply shocked him. This figure looked very identical to himself. The face was the same, but his hair was white and laid down more while still retaining its spiky style. More striking, however, were the eyes, the pupils as white as nothingness.
"...Who...who are you?" Mario asks, too stunned to even rush in to attack again.
The figure looks back over his shoulder at Mario, glancing at him in silence before smiling. Without a word, the figure then disappears into a dark portal.
With the Nobodies gone, Jake, Lao Shi, and Fu Dog all sigh in relief. "So who were those guys?" Jake asks. "And who was that guy in the cloak?" | |

Xamira is silent, apparently she was the only one who saw the siliarities between Mario and the Nobody who he fought. She planned to ask him later. | |

pmyahooaim | | Re: NYC, Ya Heard? (10th Sep 08 at 11:28pm UTC) | | They soon arrive at the electronics store, and inside, Jake and Lao Shi return to their human forms.
Mario now sighs as he retreats into the back, sitting down on the couch.
"Mario, are you alright?" Jake asks.
"Yeah, I'll be fine," Mario responds. "I just need time to rest from that battle, that's all."
"Alright," Jake responds, walking back to the front with a bit of doubt in his voice. | |
