They managed to deal with the situation on time, but now there was the matter of escaping and there was a bit of an issue with the ship. Karina watched Aux summon his glider and Jim suggested that they just push. As big as Aux was, Karina knew that he wouldn't be that much help, but Kel on the other hand. He might have been a skinny ass kid, but he could be useful at times. "Hey Aux let me on for a minute and get me close." Karina instructed not giving him a choice as she hopped on the back of his glider, getting ready to push off. "Hey Kel! Lets show them what we can do!" She called to Kel, hoping he would pick up what she was saying as she prepared herself, letting her power aura shine as she got ready to not just push, but kick to boat out of the portal and to safety.
Karina uses a combo for 8 hits then mushu will blast the shit out of that tail and hopefully kill it.

Lakoda let go of his hand, and Everette stepped back. She could talk for herself, as much as he wanted to protect her, he couldn't always. Listening to Lakoda speak stirred a sort of old anger in him. He had always wanted to track down this hag, and even though they got to now, it still didn't feel like it was soon enough. The idea of talking about it over dinner didn't sit well with him either. Perhaps if it was a private dinner, but a feast meant to celebrate. Shouldn't the mayor celebrate with his people instead of planning with them? "Thank you for the offer, but perhaps the festival best be celebrated with your town instead of talking with us. If there is a quiet place for us to go, we can spend the evening planning, you can go ahead and celebrate with your people, if you so wish to." Everette suggested.
[/color ]Karina couldn't help but roll her eyes at Castur. Of course he would try and make himself sound so hard done by. It wasn't a challenge and yet she still had a retort. "Yeah while we were doing nothing except for dealing with Leo and his crew that came after us. And damn, don't let him get into your head. Those illusion things were inconvenient." She didn't even know how to explain what Leo had done, but she knew even if she did there would be some response putting her down from Castur so she didn't try. "And no, I did not get it confused. But I am sure you would love this thing." She assured Castur before mumbling under her breath, "it will certainly love you."
Karina gave a wave over her shoulder as she walked away. She didn't need them telling her to be careful or not to get lost. She was going to be fine. Karina didn't have the greatest sense of direction but it would be enough to get her back she was certain. After a while of wandering, Karina heard voices and turned the corner and saw not only Castur but Silver as well. "Well Jim will be happy. Now if you are done hiding from the fights, come on and lets get back sooner rather than later. We really should rescue Aux from that robot guy." She didn't really care for Aux that much, it actually gave her some satisfaction to think about the fact that he had to deal with that. But she didn't want to waste time here. They still needed to get to Olympus. Perhaps if they drop Silver with Jim, it would be fine and they could find a way to leave.
[/color ]This wasn't going to be annoying at all. When Karina saw the robot thing run up to them with such energy she wasn't a fan of it already. She would have rather swatted it off a building than deal with it. She watched for a long moment as it spoke with Aux and shook Kel's hand. She was grateful that it didn't attempt to make any physical contact with her at all. At least it seemed to know where Jim was, so at least that was a good thing. While Karina didn't know if they should trust it, she couldn't imagine something so happy working for Leo, so it had to be at least somewhat safe, at least in that regard. As they followed it Aux said something about Castur and that made Karina remember. "Crap right. We still haven't found him. Perhaps I should go look for him while you deal with that." Karina said as they arrived and Jim started to punch Aux, and Aux just sat there and took it.,
"Oh can we stop with this crap already? No matter how many times I hear about it, it won't make us turn on each other. When the traitor comes out we will deal with them then. Until that point they can't be too helpful, lets face it. We are never together and nothing ever goes as planned." Like how this was unplanned, and the entire underwater adventure and the whale were all unplanned. She couldn't see how leaked information will help when there was so many unknowns. "So why don't you take your illusions and idle threats and shove off Leo." Karina stated trying to brush Leo off again.
I have ridden that plenty way back when I was there like 10 years ago
[/color ]It seemed that Aux found a way to break them out of the cages and chains. Through the conversation though, Aux, then Karina seemed to figure out what Leo was doing. Illusions are powerful when someone believes in them, but easy enough to overcome when you don't. Karina was able to stand tall again as Aux and Leo went back and forth, ending with a challenge of her and Kel about their strength. "Yes I am, but at least I don't hide behind illusions. I can at least face it now." Karina stated. Physically weak, she was not but she knew that there was a lot that she had to run through in her mind and in that aspect she was weak. She still feared her father and his judgement and she was still lost, but now she could admit it at least. "Weak or not I am strong enough to face you." Karina faked charging forward, stopping her attack half way to send a small blast of fire at him instead.
"Do you hear yourself talk? Seriously, I can't tell if you can hear how stupid you sound or not." Karina stated as a keyblade went flying for her and she dodged out of the way with ease. He then said something about being born in darkness and Karina rolled her eyes. "And I was born in a military family, and you don't see me leading any great armies. Want to know why? It doesn't matter what you are born into. You just grow up to be who you are meant to be, in your case, a poor, sad, lonely, loser who thinks he can scare people off with empty words." Karina argued back, not noticing the keyblade that somehow managed to come back around. She didn't even question where the chains came from and how they held into the ground so tightly. None of this made sense. It was like he didn't understand the mechanics of the universe so he didn't have to follow them. Unfortunately for Karina, she did understand them so she had to abide by them.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Karina knew that the last time she had done this, it hadn't turned out as well for her as she had hoped. But it was time that Karina tried to control it better and have a firm handle on her own darkness. She began channeling the darkness through her, letting it take form as a visible aura around her, as armour began to encompass her being. Karina had to fight to keep her own rage back and channel the darkness without letting it overtake her. When she was confident that she had done that she looked up at Leo. "You think you are the only one who can walk a dark path and thrive Leo? Try again. And I don't need help from some wannabe to do it. I don't have to turn on the people I care about to embrace the dark past I have walked. You are the weak one for thinking you do. Now stop hiding behind lame traps like the coward you are and have a proper battle." Karina threatened summoning Daunting Renewal to her hand. "No wonder Anora never loved you. You are a hopeless loser." She taunted trying to get Leo worked up enough that he made the first move. If he did, she would be there waiting.
Could he get any more edgy? Like seriously, she thought she was bad, but this? "Yes Aux, yes you can. I think he just surpassed you in terms of edginess. You need to take your title back after all." She stated sarcastically. "Like seriously, he is still talking about a girl no one has cared about for a long time now. Besides look at him, he will never win a fight like that." Karina stated summoning her single keyblade to her hand. She was going to have fun shutting Leo up. One strike on the keyblade in his mouth and his teeth would be gone. "Well Aux, do you want to do the honours, or shall I?"
