"Perhaps you would have more energy if you stopped sleeping at your desk." Everette retorted as he turned to look at Samuel, flexing his hand and clenching it, so the writing on his hand was covered."I am fine, I am just scared that if I wait for anything too long I am going to forget. I already can't really remember how we are supposed to get to the river, I know we have to go there and was told where to go but I don't know how. We can't afford to be wasting time this mission, not with so many people sick." He sighed before going back to what he was doing. "How about you, are you okay, you have been working a lot. Are you holding up okay?" Taking the flute from the girl, Thea looked up to the girl and thought for a moment. "I think that we should trust her. Of course see the kids, but the mayor was giving me creepy vibes. And isn't it strange how protective the girl was? She kept looking over my shoulder and not letting me do stuff." Thea went off about her thoughts though she knew her reasoning wasn't really solid it was just a thought that she had. Either way both Zephyr and Gavin wanted to see the kids first so that seemed like the direction that they were going to go.
Boreas addressed her and Tinarah had to force herself to look at the man. She was starting to get used to having him and Torrin around and not against her, but she still felt uncomfortable with it. "If we went sooner they wouldn't have as much time to set up a trap. Perhaps we could have gotten an upper hand." Tinarah then sighed as she thought of something else. "I heard it mentioned that it was those goggles that controlled Mr. Incredible. If we destroy them it would free Mr. Incredible. All it would take is one thing out of place and we might stand a chance. Or at least delay the inevitable." Like when she questioned Torrin instead of blindly following into battle. Though according to him after nearly a month he nearly finished taking them out, but that fight, for that one fight Torrin's side lost and she had given the Keyblade Wielders a chance to get the upper hand. If they managed to get Mr. Incredible to even stop and turn for a moment, it might cause confusion enough to get the upper hand. It was a long shot, but they could at least try given there was only so many options now, and in the end they had to run in there regardless. There was no more waiting around, they had to do something and soon.
With no more heartless to kill, Karina took a quick look around and noticed what Finlay was up to. "For Christ Sakes Finlay, I can't look away for one battle can I? Stop trying to kill the pet and maybe focus more on the heartless. Steel is harmless enough, and if he needs another good beating I can handle that. This is not what I brought you for!" Karina yelled at Finaly not forgetting the big fight with Steel they had when entering the realm of Darkness either.
The silence from Arctus wasn't sitting well. Yes she was talking to Luna before, but it seemed like Arctus always had something to say. Whenever she looked at him he didn't seem so involved in the battle that he couldn't talk. Not a single witty comment from him? It just didn't feel right. That being said she couldn't complain too much about that. Usually he was just annoying, it was kind of sad that she missed his annoying voice. Rolling her eyes she tried not to think about it too much as she turned her attention back to the heartless. They were almost done but she had a feeling that this wouldn't be the end. Looking around for her team Karina called out to all of them. "Hey Black Coats." She didn't know what else to say to get the attention of those following after her lead, it was the best she got. Karina figured that the SoS people already knew, so she wanted to make sure that everyone was prepared and that she would be able to bring everyone back alive. "Remember this Son of a ***** can summon more of these things. The battle isn't over until he is dead, so don't get to comfortable yet. There is a fight still ahead of us yet. Watch your backs." She called out over the heartless to everyone who would listen to her. It was important for them to know and be prepared for it because she was determined to make sure they lost no one else. With that covered there was still a fight that she needed to deal with herself as she moved ever closer to Uniform. Sure she was sure that the over sized out going man could deal with Uniform himself. He was one of the order after all. It wasn't the reason that Karina was heading in that direction. She was heading over there because she wanted to face him again. She had thought she was over him when he ran away, but now that he was threatening her friends this wasn't over. It was her fight once again. She would be there when he fell, even if it was not by her own hand. He would see the burning determination in her eyes, see that she wasn't going to let him get the better of her. His words got under her skin sure but it wasn't going to stop her, very little would stop her now. Not when she was so far into this. This far into her new life, leaving her past behind. He could talk all he wanted but she wasn't going to sit down and wait for him to come for her. she wasn't going to wait to die, not when there was still a fight to be hand. It was all that she was good at after all may as well go for it. Thankfully this round was almost over. She knew that the heartless would come again but if she could just get a moment to breath properly then she would be able to fight once more. They were almost at that point. She could get there if she tried a little more. Taking on her favoured ability once more she used Zantetsuken to get herself going once more. It was one last attempt and after she burst through the heartless, Aislinn fell to one knee as she breathed. Her eyes closed for a moment. "I will keep going. For Sarah and her family. I can do this." She told herself but for the time being she didn't get up, didn't try to fight again as she let the others finish the battle.

Having finished yelling at Luna Karina turned around letting most of the rest of her rage out on the heartless around her. They stood between her and her target after all and that was not okay. Sure she yelled at Luna but that was not the object of her rage, it was the mad man who was summoning all of these bastards to their doorstep. She wasn't going to let him get away with this, that was not okay in her mind. On top of that she did have a score to settle. Perhaps Karina had gone too light on him, perhaps becoming a little like her father wasn't a bad thing when it came to the fact of dealing with those out of line. She had tried to change but he was making things hard. Perhaps, just maybe if she got rid of that block in her way she could indeed become a person to be proud of. That being said she now finally had someone who accepted her for her, so perhaps change wasn't as needed as she had thought it was. Without the ever present loneliness, perhaps she could be okay with herself, or perhaps not. Karina couldn't quite figure out where she sat with it given she was never good with anything that didn't have to do with anger and violence. She had once upon a time tried to be a normal person, slip into her role in life. That only brought pain, fear and failure. Every time she tried to do something she failed at it and earned her fathers wrath. The one thing she was good at was fighting, and that was not a skill for girls. She escaped and trained it to the point she saw herself becoming her father. When she tried to back off Karina found herself lost and that was where she was now. Unsure how to deal with anything and everything. She was scared of being weak and she was scared of becoming her father. Finding the middle between that felt like an impossible task. Now looking back at Arctus she wondered if she even needed to try. If he was accepting her as she was, perhaps she was not as bad as she thought she was in her own mind. That being said, her mind was a volatile unpredictable thing that she couldn't trust either thinking good or bad thought. Everything she thought of turned in to an unsure mess as was the case now, leaving her instead to lose herself in the battle rage that quickly had crept up on her. Breath... just breath. She just needed to take the time to breath, though the heartless were not really allowing it. Every breath she took, Aislinn could see the heartless closing in on her. She had to keep fighting, had to do something, she wasn't going to die here. Taking one more breath Aislinn stepped forward, not launching herself into the attacks like usual, but instead stepping forward dealing single swings at the time, just enough to keep the heartless back a bit. Breathing heavily Aislinn quickly got a feeling for how many more she would have to deal with before continuing her fight in a slow manner. It bothered her she was slowing down the way she did, but there was no choice, there was no way that she could keep this up, Aislinn wasn't that stupid. If she launched herself into battle every time she started to feel tired, she would soon find herself taking a dirt nap. This was the best way to keep up with the battle.
