Xara's spell suddenly ran out, and the microbots rushed to her like a storm. Soon she was overwhelmed and was lifted up into the air by her ankles by the microbots. "Hey!" Another swarm grabbed at her keyblade, trying to yank it out of her hands. She held on tight, despite the pain, only to realize she could summon it back later. Tired fingers finally let go, and the key vanished from the air. Before she could summon it back, she was tossed towards a pile of wooden boxes. She felt her heart catch in her throat and instinctively put her arms up to protect herself as she prepared for impact. 18/30
Zoey felt something move under her feet, only to have Dana ripped away from her side and flung somewhere. "Dana!!" Zoey jumped back away from the threat, scanning the area in a rush. She saw a purple soul, something new, and saw a bulk of whatever it was being swung around that looked heavy. Zoey rolled down and scurried low to the ground towards her fallen partner while avoiding the enemy the best she could. "Dana, are you okay?" 1/30
Zoey smirked and then giggled under her hand as she listened to the others talk about how creepy it was, and Dana's comment about whacking kids with a stick. She shrugged her shoulders, cocking her head to one side to listen around as they walked. "Fog, eh? I just feel the humidity and stillness..." She shivered and rubbed her arms a bit, having a look around. "It does give me goosebumps though." She could see faint silver outlines of gravestones, a couple of mousoleums, and dead looking trees around. "I'm not seeing any souls... not yet," Zoey said quietly as she walked closer to her partner til their shoulders were touching. She felt a little uneasy, and not just because of the descriptions and ideas the others were giving her. She could only hear the dirt crunch under their feet as they walked; there were no sounds of crickets or any animals of any sort. Not even a hoot of an owl. To the one who watched the world with her ears and sixth sense, it was concerning to say the least. "Unless whatever is causing problems doesn't have a soul," Zoey suggested. "Or is using magic to hide their soul's wavelength." She turned her head to where she heard the boys walking, keeping them in the loop along with Dana. "Do you guys see anything strange? Besides the fog... footprints, broken gravestones, something out of the ordinary? It's seriously too quiet here... something is around."
The purple haired girl jumped back in the game again. It seemed never ending, but they had to get out of this somehow. The microbots formed into snakes around her, coming in on her fast. She knew she couldn't block all of them at once, and she had to do something about that. Xara raised her keyblade in the air, it seemed right. "Stopa!" The microbots seemed to freeze for a moment and Xara smirked. She giggled as she twirled around, flinging microbots everywhere like metal rain. 17/30
Xara was busy holding her keyblade with both hands, holding back a wave while being pushed back on her feet. She moved her body to start to roll, then pulled her keyblade out of the locked combat mode, making the microbots slam into the ground in a tangling mess. She then heard her partner and smirked. "Got it! Hey RG group!" She called to Kel and A.J. as she kept counterstriking. "Glen said that there's a giant Heartless making the endless supply of these microbots behind the creepy mask dude in UG. Glen's gonna try to take it out!" Xara was swatted to the side, making her stumble off balance. She got up and glared at the mass of microbots. "Oh no you didn't!" Xara charged at the wave with a yell, unleashing multiple combo attacks. Suddenly, she was surrounded by orbs of light, and the microbots that were surrounding her was swept away into a brief explosion. Xara looked around, dazed for a moment by the sudden burst of power. Strange enough, she had an epiphany that what she did was indeed called Explotion "Whoaaaa! Did you see that? Did you- AGH!" Just in time, she blocked another swarm trying to catch her off guard. 14/30
Xara was about to respond to A.J. when things started to get a little weird. The fog, the guy in the mask, Baymax's new armor, and those little bitty things being made into waves of tenticals and moved at just a flick of the wrist. "Heads up!" She gritted her teeth as she gripped her keyblade, rolling away from the first wave, and slashing at another one. She gasped when she noticed the microbots broke apart, only to be put back together again. She blocked another hit, and then rolled off of that, slashing at another one trying to throw her off. "Can anyone jump super high?" She called out as she swung her keyblade once more at the microbots. She made her way back to Kel, blocking yet another assault. "I know there's only three of us on this side, but we gotta try to confuse the guy somehow." She grunted as she sidestep another blow, only to circle back to Kel. "Got any ideas? Magic? Special, nn, fighting attack thingies?" 3/20
Zoey explained the mission to the boys as they headed towards the graveyard. She felt nervous and apprehensive about this whole thing, wondering if they were going to fail again or succeed. If they failed, she could only guess how Dana would take it based on how she took it last time. Hopefully they would do good with this one. "I'm going to laugh if the strange happens are just kids lighting candles and trying to summon a ghost or something," she joked with a smile as she walked into the gates of the cemetery. "Or maybe a clown is trying to throw a party at a weird time of night." Mikio listened to Matthew's explanation and nodded his head within his weapon form. "Sounds about right... you ready, Matthew?" He asked as he glanced to the door ahead of them, hearing the voices on the other side.
Xara glanced over her shoulder at Kel, the guy that remembered her from that weird world where she was a raccoon. "Right. Maybe we can find what he sent us to find for him before he gets here." She said in response to Kel helping Hiro. She then glanced at A.J. who seemed to come to a conclusion that all the microbots were around here somewhere... somehow. "We don't even know that they're all here," she said with a shrug, looking around while holding her keyblade. "For all we know, we'll probably only find five, or twenty... or maybe the main batch of those thingies are elsewhere and it's a trick." She then noticed something off. "Hey, where did that other girl go?" she asked as she looked behind the rest of the group.
Xara was jogging along the streets towards the shipyard when she heard a voice speaking through the player pin. "WHOA!" She jumped and glanced down at it, grabbing it with her fingers to have a look at it. Turned out it was Baymax, the marshmallow robot thing. He was reaching out to the RG team to help Hiro out. Xara smiled sadly as the message ended. "I know what personal loss is like," she reminisced, looking over at the RG players in her group. "My parents died when I was a little kid. I really didn't have anyone til I met this old swordsman master who I called Master Leo... He taught me how to handle a sword and how to fight... but then he left me too." Remembering the events at the Catsle of Illusion was too bitter at the moment. Xara sniffed and rubbed at her eye, smiling big to cover up the sadness. "Well, uh, awkward. Kinda creepy he could find us so easily with our DNA or whatever... but it's kinda cool too. But yeah! Microbots! Let's get back to it." She then bounded off, only to slow down again when she got to the first pile of crates at the docks, remembering how Hiro was scared of the man that was said to control these things. She summoned her keyblade, just in case, and began to have a look around.
Zoey's ready to go
Zoey followed close behind Dana, listening to her words. She couldn't exactly read the words on the mission board, so she shrugged her shoulders and headed off after Dana who was dead set on getting on this mission. "Um, I think Lord Death might be busy... maybe one of the other teachers will give us the run down?"
"Whoops, it looks like we overwhelmed him," Xara commented as she laid a finger on her cheek with her head tilted on way and began to scratch at it, thinking. It wasn't long before she heard an alert and glanced at her keyblade. "Sweet! We don't have to stalk-I-I mean, ahem, follow Hiro. That's actually kinda smart to let the UG players handle that." She smiled and waved to her partner. "Have fun!" She then saluted and started to head toward the place where the microbot-thingy had pointed, expecting the others to follow.

"Hey, it's no trouble at all. I know how it is dealing with older people. I'm Xara, and these are my friends. It's nice to meet you, Hiro and Baymax," she looked over her shoulder and smiled at Glen, hiding a silent chuckle under her hand. It was amusing to see his reactions with working with the UG side, and she couldn't help but to feel as if Baymax was referring the diagnosis to Glen. 'Gees, Glen gets picked on a lot,' Xara observed in her head. She then glanced to the boy and smiled. "Here, let us help you get Baymax home," she offered, referring to the other three in her group. "He seems kinda big and bulky to walk alone by your lonesome like this. Especially with that creepy guy you mentioned earlier still out and about." Xara then moved to Baymax's other side and swung his limp balloon on over her shoulder, trying to help the squishy, soggy marshmallow walk along the sidewalk. "So you invent stuff Hiro? Like gadgets and Baymax?"
Xara blinked rapidly when she heard the whole conversation between the boy and the man in the uniform. Wow, this was one strange world. She was surprised to see that the man wasn't believing a word Hiro was saying, and he looked really freaked out. How could he be making it up? She was surprised when she was referred to as Gogo by Hiro, and then realized instantly it was a cover up. She saluted to the police officer, while walking backwards alongside Hiro. "Yup! Just gonna help out!" She then turned to this Baymax, seeing that his poofy marhsmallowness was deflated and he was indeed acting kinda funny. "So, uh, couldn't help to overhear... this Mr. Kabuki Guy did this to your friend?" she asked quietly to Hiro, trying to make small talk. "He sounds kinda scary."
That was the last thing she was expecting. She was about to open her mouth to speak when Dana said something for her. She cringed as she heard the spit, and then giggled under her breath while covering her mouth. And surprisingly enough, Dana said it would be okay. "I'm okay with it too. I was thinking about Dana and I taking the graveyard mission." She turned to the boys and tilted her head. "What do you say? You guys up for it?" She mostly chose it due to the fact it would probably give them a break from people interaction for a while. Last thing they needed was to be in a crowded room full of people again, and usually the dead didn't talk back.
Zoey chuckled at Zephyr's blind pun, even though he probably didn't mean to make it so. She smiled as she listened to the weapons talk and sat up more. "Same, to be honest. Teaching yourself your own fancy moves and everything. And you're just not pretty Dana," Zoey said while moving her head to "look" at her. "You're my second pair of eyes when I can't anticipate moves. Speaking of training and fighting..." She stood up and threw her empty bowl of ice cream in the trash can. "Ready to pick another mission, Dana?" "Well, I guess we're going straight," Mikio said when they reached the deadend again.
Xara listened to the others suggesting about following, and just in time saw Glen in UG follow suite. Seeing that others wandered into the police station, she shrugged her shoulders and follow suite after everyone else who had gone.
Xara has disembarked for San Fransokyo. (whooooooops)
Things were explained better this time around than previously, and she understood what was expected of all of them at the Game. Under Ground, Real Ground, two different areas with two different views, yet she would be able to see her partner when no one else could. She was used to "talking to herself" so she figured it wouldn't be a problem. Partners were made, and she was paired up with Glen and given a mouse named Bianca to tag along with her. Sweet. She giggled when Jack made the comment, and then looked to Bianca on her shoulder. "I'm Xara, it's very nice to meet you Ms. Bianca. I got a pocket here just for you to sit comfortably." She opened her pocket and helped the little mouse in then turned her attention to Glen when he approached her and began to speak to her. She smiled, loving the funny accent and the fact that he seemed pretty nice. "That's fine!" she stated with a grin while placing her hands behind her back and rocked on her heels. "You're more experienced with the keyblade and I'm not, so this'll be perfect. I'll talk to the people, you fight the monsters." She saluted with a smirk. She saw the portals opened and realized it was time to head out. She saw her mission; Help Hiro. Huh, well that was going to be kinda easy, but kinda hard as well. She didn't know what this Hiro looked like, but it didn't matter. Everyone seemed to be heading out and ready to do this mission. "Come on! Let's go!" she excitedly said as she grabbed Glen by the arm and practically began to tug him towards the portal. She then grinned and let go, heading in after everyone else and expecting her partner to follow her through. She stumbled in the world to see buildings everywhere, and all these people. "Oh wow, this place is a lot brighter and busier than the last one," she breathed. She then glanced at a girl and a blond haired guy who stated that she saw someone that she assumed was Hiro and looked over there as well. She barely saw the boy running and the big marshmallow thing following him. "Whoa! What is that thing? It looks so squishy and cute." She then heard the squishy marshmallow spoke, and say Hiro. "Hey! That is Hiro, the squishy thing said so, so it has to be." She then saw AJ head to the building where the kid that was supposedly Hiro ran into, but she wasn't quite ready to go yet. She looked over her shoulder, hoping that Glen had followed after her so they could get a move on this mission.
