Torrin had been biding his time as he recovered his strength and even as his body grew weary he still had a plan in mind, a risky one, to finish the fight soon. He warped once and struck Bright Eyes in the chest after Illiana delivered a powerful blow with her magic. He warped a second time, avoiding the claws of the Heartless, and once more before following through with a powerful downward cut. Torrin looked over seeing Boreas out cold on the floor and hoped this would pay off in the end. Torrin used Warp Strike x3 and Attacked! Bright Eyes stumbled backwards, seemingly dazed from all the quick attacks Torrin and Illiana had dealt it after Boreas had been brought down. With one wild swing of its claws it managed to catch Illiana and knock the girl over but missed Torrin entirely. Blast From The Post: Round 5 - Turn 4 Torrin Boreas Illiana Torrin dealt 139 Damage!

Now was the time to end this fight and put his all into an attack. The ground shook as darkness exploded from his body and twelve black blades came into being from the dark tendrils that poured out of Torrin. He wasted no time in closing the distance between himself and Bright Eyes in the blink of an eye. His keyblade vanished as he took hold of two of the blades and stabbed them into the Heartless's sides. He followed up by continuing to grab the dark swords that surrounded him and deftly cutting away at the enemy until each of the twelve blades had been broken before summoning his own keyblade and stabbing it directly into the center of Bright Eyes. The Heartless exploded with a black energy released from the attacks and when the energy disappeared their enemy was nowhere to be seen. Torrin breathed heavily as his form ended and fell to one knee, dropping his keyblade. The simulation displayed a large "YOU WON" in bold white lettering in front of the trio before their surroundings returned to normal. Torrin's eyes returned to their usual blue hue and he let out an exhausted chuckle before collapsing onto his back and sighing in relief. "That was definitely a work out...Hey Illiana you did great back there. Really. Sorry it took so long for me to get in the mood to do that." "Yo Boreas..." Torrin called out in between heavy breaths.

Kaio watched as Aria walked away in frustration but said nothing more to the girl. He knew he had struck a nerve but that was part of the point. There would be more than harsh words to deal with in the battles to come. "Condescending? No, I believe my words to be accurate. You children have not proven your worth yet. Perhaps when you have my words will be more forgiving but until then you will have to put up with them. After all, if you cannot handle a harsh truth, then what good are you out on the field?" The man directed towards Chrono and as he finished speaking another simulation ended prematurely. Kaio looked over in the direction of the other room and raised an eyebrow. "To your credit, at least you were not foolish enough to enter one of the more difficult simulations alone." Aster leaned back in her seat and gazed at the computer's screen that sat before her, looking over new data that continued to stream in. "Well...that's certainly going to be of interest to Chrono and Tinarah... To think that such materials would even exist on their homeworld... Still...there might not be enough. And it could just be a sensor reading error. Hm...still, even one more place to check is better than our only option of Orph–" She was cut off from her train of thought as a knock came at her door. The woman sighed, not wishing to be disturbed while she still had so much data to go through. She pushed herself from her work space, her desk filled with cluttered piles of notes and books strewn across her bed as she went to answer her door. "Lumen, is it?" Behind the boy who had knocked on her door stood Qamar. "Qamar? What are you two doing here? Kaio and Thyella are supervising your training."

The Demon Tower attacked Tinarah so hard it did regular damage to her just as it had been doing. So it wasn't that hard at all. Lonely Heartless: Round 2 - Turn 9 Tinarah Tinarah dealt 37 Damage!

Thyella smirked at the boy. "That's more like it." The woman nodded. "I believe we have some books to deal with your particular issues. I'm not one for teaching someone how to read but Selene has nothing better to do and she's bound to be a lot more patient with that kind of thing, kid. A lot more friendly. And you won't have to look up while talking to her either." Kaio looked away from Lumen and Qamar and raised an eyebrow upon seeing the princess's group's simulation end early. "Well then..." The training room opened and the man stepped towards the entrance. "Well that was quite...pathetic. Admirable teamwork but it looks like you had a complete dead weight with you." The man looked at Kal who seemed to be barely conscious. "Gero might be soft on you, princess, but the Heartless won't be. Still...I suppose you did better than I would have expected given your group's handicap..." He scratched his chin thoughtfully. "And you there, boy." He pointed at Chrono. "Didn't you ask Thallasa for advice on using that power of yours? That was a weak display of it you showed. Do better." Then Kaio looked at Enzo and, finding it hopeless to even say anything to the sunglasses-wearing keyblader, he sighed loudly and shook his head in disappointment. "Training you runts will be more painful for me than it will be for you it seems..."

The woman's lips curled upwards into a wry grin. "Oh then you can stay here for as long as you want. I'm sure the lack of scenery will do wonders for you in these walls. And if one day one of your friends doesn't come back from an assignment you'll just have to wonder if you could have done something if only you had been there." Thyella shrugged at the boy. "But if avoiding getting frustrated at a few words means that much to you, then by all means, go ahead." Kaio shook his head at Lumen. "Several have already lost their lives in the past few days. I do not need to remind you about your own losses either. Every training simulation should be taken as seriously as if your life depended on it because one day you won't have the luxury of walking away with a few scrapes and bruises. Death preys on the weak and stupid. Take care that you hasten your exit out of these categories as soon as you can lest you join those who have already fallen in battle."

If it means many sleepless nights and constant headaches for you, then that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make." Shadows were torn from the Demon Tide from Qamar's mighty blow, being destroyed instantly as they crashed into the ground. However, when the Demon Tide retaliated all Lumen and Qamar saw was black as they were overwhelmed by its power. When they regained consciousness a few moments later they were already outside the training room while Master Kaio was standing over them with a disapproving look on his face. "I would say I was disappointed but that would imply I had expectations to begin with." The man sighed. "Still, I suppose you two were not complete disgraces to the key from what I saw. Qamar, a word of advice, hitting hard is hardly useful if you don't have the means to withstand, avoid, or recover from heavy damage.

Castur looked off to the glowing Heart of Atlantis, floating above the water encircled by the stone masks, and let out a small sigh as he once more called his keyblade out. "Well there seems to be one more thing that needs taking care of. A last piece of unfinished business before we ship off." A keyhole had appeared on the Heart and Castur raised his keyblade with a single hand and once the tip had been aligned with the keyhole a beam of light shot forth from the end of his keyblade and struck the keyhole. A click sounding like the turning of an old lock echoed in the cavern and the keyhole vanished in a flicker of light. Castur lowered his blade and allowed it to vanish. "Well...that sound certainly never gets any less satisfying." He mused. 14/30

Thyella gripped the boy by his shoulder preventing him from walking away. "Training the mind is just as important as it is to train the body." The woman said. "You're lucky that kind of mistake only caused you a few bruises and some frustration. There are thousands of scenarios where that kind of mistake could cost you or someone else their life. So you're not going to sulk. You're going to bury your head in some books and we'll call Atmos in if we have to. You're learning to read whether you like it or not, small bean."

Torrin used Chaos Blade and Sky Dive then Attacked!
The Darkside trio disappeared when Take surrendered and the room returned to its natural state. The door swung open and Master Thyella stepped forward, shaking her head. "Points for effort, kid, but you're hardly strong enough to be fighting three Darksides." The woman spoke, folding her arms. "What was the point in doing a stupid move like that anyway, kid?" Lumen rolled out of the Demon Tower's path while Qamar took the brunt of it, sending the girl flying back into a wall. Demon Hunter: Round 1 - Turn 6 Qamar Lumen Qamar dealt 137 Damage!

The Demon Tower once more attempted to smash Tinarah but the girl had braced herself and held her ground. Lonely Heartless: Round 2 - Turn 4 Tinarah Tinarah dealt 0 Damage! Tinarah took 14 Damage!

Torrin had only just noticed that his injuries had begun to rack up by this point and was silently thankful of the reminder to ease up. He re-enchanted his blade and warped at Grandmother Willow twice, striking the magical tree with blinding speed. Torrin used Aspir Fencer and Warp Strike x2 then cast Cure x2 on himself! Grandmother Willow's bark was looking slightly burnt after the attacks. It retaliated by launching more leaves at the Torrin, Boreas, and Illiana although Illiana managed to dodge the attack once more.

Castur brushed off some flecks of crystallized Rourke that landed on his clothes and called off his keyblade when the man had been defeated. "Wasn't expecting him to explode." Castur muttered to himself. With Laguna and some of the Atlanteans having made it just in time to see Rourke's destruction he lot out a sigh of relief knowing that there weren't any stragglers of Rourke's men for them to fight. "Well I guess with the princess safe and sound and this world saved...there's not much left for us here, is there?" 13/30

The Demon Tower rose higher and higher and flexed, lurching forward to "punch" the two keybladers with its top, knocking over Qamar. Lumen, however, had managed to hold his ground from having gone on the defensive. Demon Hunter: Round 1 - Turn 5 Qamar Lumen Qamar dealt 69 Damage! Lumen dealt 0 Damage! Qamar took 21 Damage!

Torrin lowered his keyblade for a moment and briefly considered explaining to Boreas that this was just an illusion. The bruises may have been real but the danger was not. Given how many worlds he had seen, technology like this was not too far of a stretch for him to wrap his mind around. Torrin looked over at Illiana and motioned for her to keep back so she could tend to her own injuries considering how roughed up she had gotten. Knowing he could not leave Boreas to fling himself into battle alone, Torrin rushed after his friend. Torrin used Ars Arcanum and Sky Dive then Attacked. The final blows dealt to it destroyed the mechanical Heartless leaving it to fall into pieces. In moments their surroundings changed and they were surrounded by a lush greenery. Before them stood an ancient willow tree, its vines draping over the area enclosing them from the outside. The tree suddenly sprung to life, an image appearing to be an elderly woman's face appeared on the trunk as leaves shot out at them like bullets.
