Rolling her eyes at Arctus she chose to ignore his comments as he made an attempt at looking cool, using his magic. "Now that is just lazy." she argued as she put all her effort into an attack. Yellow Darkside: 1600/5000
"Hey." Karina replied as she flew past Aeira towards the Dark side quickly slashing at it several times over before she backed off now more determined than ever to kill it quickly. Red darkside defeated Blue darkside defeated Yellow darkside: 2400/5000
This was like Hikaru all over again, except this time it was clearly intentional. Karina rolled her eyes at Finlay as she ignored her bragging and turned to the yellow Darkside. "Looks like we have a new target for this little contest." She stated as she turned and ran at the yellow one, still determined to beat Arctus and this time Finlay to the kill on the thing, sending a blast of fire at it so it would get there before she did, making sure that she did everything that she could to damage it. Red darkside defeated Blue darkside defeated Yellow darkside: 2800/5000
"Are you serious? Are you serious right now? How long have you been waiting to say that? What did you fall asleep at night lonely and start to think up pick up lines to go with your magic. I almost feel sorry for you." Karina started to get up as Arctus flicked her nose and got up himself claiming he won. "The person who gets the last hit on this thing wins. Don't get too cocky yet." Karina then kicked him in the butt as he ran away to attack. "And don't do that again or I might just have to break your finger." After that she had to get into the battle herself before Arctus ended up really winning. Darkside Blue: 1000/5000 Darkside Red: 400/5000 Darkside Yellow: 4200/5000
Okay she supposed that she was asking for this, but as the gravity shifted she couldn't seem to keep her feet on the ground as she started to fall towards Arctus. As a last ditch effort to hold some sort of position, Karina sent out her whip trying to dig it into the Darkside. While it hit its mark, it wasn't able to dig in enough to stop her from falling and landing on Arctus. "Clever. Now do you plan to keep me here? There is still a battle to be fought." She glance behind her at the Darkside, but returned her gaze to Arctus, trying to guess her motives now. Darkside Blue: 1400/5000 Darkside Red: 600/5000 Darkside Yellow: 4400/5000
Taking the opening that was given to her by Arctus, Karina launched forwards with a set of attacks before ducking back behind the Darkside again. "Not a chance. You will have to catch me first." She challenged him as she picked up another rock, popping her head out from around the Darkside long enough to get a clear shot at Arctus as she threw the rock at him before grabbing cover again. She didn't remember the last battle like this being nearly as fun. What was it with this guy? How was he actually making her smile? Darkside Blue: 1800/5000 Darkside Red: 600/5000 Darkside Yellow: 4400/5000
Yeah whatever. Did he really have to be like that? Of course he did he was Arctus after all. After taking a few hits at the darkside, he then turned to her and started to throw little pebbles at her. "I thought you weren't one for nice words or sappy comments." Karina countered as she picked up a slightly bigger stone and threw it at Arctus in retaliation before hiding behind the darkside as she fought it.

"I don't need or want to words of pity I am over it." only in the way she didn't cry herself to sleep or anything. Given her temperament she was anything but. It was a nice thought thinking that she okay, but still she wondered if she could do it. If she could really kill him as easily as the heartless she was currently killing. Darkside Blue: 2600/5000 Darkside Red: 1000/5000 Darkside Yellow: 4400/5000
"Put things right... Yeah I am going to kill the *******. He doesn't deserve life." Karina sneered. She had gotten past standing up to her father, now it was time to just deal with him once and for all. Karina truly believed that there was nothing good about her father. And then he asked about her mother and Karina barked a bitter laugh. "No, she was around and the perfect example of what my father thought woman should be. No better than a servant, following what he told her, never leaving the house. Submissive even when he would be her, or me. She would back him up, not m,e when he decided I was a bad daughter and thought the only fix for things was to make sure I was better trained at doing chores and being what they thought I should be. Funny thing is, no one would bat an eye if I said this back home. That is just the way things were, and when one refuses to conform, well I may as well have committed murder in their eyes." There was no amusement even though she laughed a little. It was a bitter time, bitter memories and she could do nothing but fake a laugh as she turned and stabbed into the darkside once more. Darkside Blue: 3000/5000 Darkside Red: 1600/5000 Darkside Yellow: 4400/5000
Was the girl mocking her? Or did she really believe that what they were doing was right. Did she really think that this was the right way to go? Did what the Light Chaser do to her and Aria not show that he wasn't good? "Just trying to help? You are just trying to help, that was why you were holding Aria with you despite her wanting to be with her friends. That is why you guys kidnapped me, sent me into a realm to convince me my brother betrayed my trust and tried to kill me. Threw me into a time where most people I would know wouldn't be alive. Let me make a connection and learn from a man only to use it against us later, after sending me to what could have very easily been my doom if it wasn't for Gero. Sewing seeds of distrust so bad that I can barely look at half my own friends. And when Gero saved me, brought me back, he tracked me and tried to kill two of three people that meant everything to me! He attacked them and thanked me for the help. And you call that doing the right thing? If you do then there is something seriously twisted with you." Tinarah stated her eyes watering as she stared down the girl. Boreas and Illiana both started to yell at her about her orders and she flinched away from them. Clearly the yelling got to her and she was kind of shying away from them. The nicest words that she heard out of everyone was from the same girl that she was just yelling at, begging her to get out of the way of this fight. But they were right her fight was not with these two, though she did have hell out for Koa, but right now they had to save the world. "Fine. Fine." There was tears sliding down her face, whether it was from what she was yelling at Chrys about, or if it was from the yelling from Illiana and Boreas, it wasn't quite clear, but shaking off and walking a healthy distance from her brother, Tinarah started to deal with the issue at hand, the heartless that were swarming the world. She had to save this world, and because she was upset and annoyed, the people still came first because if she couldn't fight to make things better for others she couldn't fight at all.

"I would rather do the test than be stuck without a weapon. Besides I didn't know it would turn out like that." Karina counter argued with Arctus. He didn't understand, how could he? He then brought up daddy issues. "He is a terrible person. Too full of himself, and too proud to see that his way was not the only way and that tradition didn't mean things were right. If you don't conform you die. Simple as that." Karina informed him. Her voice though monotone, seemed to be hiding something. She rarely sounded sad, but when there was no emotion at all, it was a clear sign that something was wrong. She was past anger at this point and now was left with a deep pain that she refused to face and chose to turn off her emotions instead to fight some heartless that never stood a chance in the first place.

Barely reunited with their friends, Torrin was already sending them off in different directions to deal with the heartless and buy time for Thallasa to seal the keyhole. However they weren't able to get that far with that before others started to pop down in front of them, some of which Tinarah recognized, others in which called for Aria. Her eyes rested on a brown haired boy, one of the first faces she had seen after passing out all those years ago. He had saved her but also took her from her friends and let the Light Chaser send her off. They were the ones that had held Aria and took her away from them, and now they were back to do the same thing once more. Tinarah knew that she was supposed to be fighting the heartless, but she couldn't bring herself to do that, not when these people were here in front of her. Tears in her eyes, Tinarah moved forward, trying to place herself between Aria and the Chasers. "You will not take her again. I won't let you!" Tinarah almost shouted at them as she held her ground. While she was nervous and shaking slightly. She had seen the power of their master and it was truly frightening. She couldn't imagine what his students could do, but Tinarah was not going to let them get away with trying to take Aria away. "Just leave us alone already! Why are you so insistent on tormenting us?" Tinarah asked them as she continued to stand her ground. If any of them moved to take Aria, then Tinarah would fight, but she was too frightened to make the first move.
While she was not comfortable going with Boreas, Tinarah prepared to leave, haven taken up a seat on his keyblade glider. Before they could set off though darkness filled the sky and a long forgotten dread filled her. The last time she had seen this happen was five years before... or days, depending on who you asked. Either way Tinarah knew it as trouble. It was when something similar had happened that they had lost Aria for the first time. She returned to them, but the world was nearly lost, only to be saved by the Light Chaser. Even that though, Tinarah was not quite sure about everything that she had been told by him now. Boreas decided that they were taking off and heading for the others, and Tinarah didn't argue. They landed near where the other group was, and Tinarah summoned her keyblade as she stood from the glider. Boreas suggested fighting, but Tinarah was not sure if they should. Last time they had to run because not even Choma and Atmos were able to stop what was coming. That being said she wasn't going to sit there and cower if others were fighting. Not ever going too far from the glider, Tinarah took a fighting stance, once more settling on what Torrin had taught her to defend herself if need be. "I don't think we can fight it." Tinarah said quietly but it wasn't her call to make.
Did he really have to say his favourite animal. At least he moved on to a new subject, though this one not that much better than the last. This time he was asking about more sensitive information, about her keyblade and how she lost it. Pausing for a moment she stared at Arctus, sighing trying to get her thoughts in line. She was never going to get stronger if she hid from everything that hurt. "Basically we lost it due to some reset of heart or whatever. I don't totally understand that part. That being said it is strength of heart that unlocks the keyblade and we were sent into illusions to get our keyblades back. In mine I saw my father, failed to face him or save someone sent to help me, and nearly died. I didn't have the strength to keep it so it rejected me." She explained turning back to the Darkside, trying to hide the pain. Darkside Red: 3400/5000 Darkside Blue: 3800/5,000 Darkside Yellow: 4800/5000
Scoffing at the response, Karina rolled her eyes. "I don't think I have thought about what my favourite colour is since I was five. So I would say I don't have one." She replied to him as she turned around and slashed at the Darkside. "So is there anything important that you want to talk about or just ask what my favourite animal is next?" Karina scorned Arctus.

"As I said if we ever find a break to talk normally." Karina repeated herself as darksides rose up around them, cutting off the path to Uniform. "Damn it." She cursed under her breath as she glared at the new Darksides blocking her from her target. "Damn coward, always hiding behind heartless.!" Karina screamed out at Uniform before turning to what was in her way. "Guess we just have to make this go more quickly this time. So we can deal with him before he decides to summon more like the coward he is." Karina muttered to Arctus clearly in a more fowl mood than before as now she was also soaking wet on top of having more heartless to fight. Turning her anger into something useful Karina attacked the Dakeside in front of her and Arctus. Darkside Blue: 4,600/5,000
Listening to the conversation, Thea agreed, they had to save Selena as soon as possible. But instead of going to help her, Gavin thought that sounded like a bad idea. He then continued to ask her to stay hidden instead of helping. Thea turned around and looked at her own teammate dead in the eye. "No!" She stomped her foot as heat radiated off of her. "I will not wait around and stay hidden. We have to save Selena. I am not a child, I am just as strong as any of you! I can fight as well. I want to go to that spider lady and stop her from taking the children. I am just as much a member of this guild so stop treating me like a child!" Thea shouted at Gavin before she turned and gave the flute back to Izra. After she yelled at Gavin, she turned around and walked away from where they were all staying. She knew that she was getting dangerous. She could feel the fire boiling beneath her skin, and at this rate she would need an excuse to expend the magical energy. Hopefully it could be used for good, hopefully they could get moving and she could use her magic to save Selena. But if Gavin wanted to argue with her more, she couldn't promise that she wouldn't accidentally do the wrong thing. Everette followed close behind the chief to where they were going. As they neared Town Hall, Chief Yolvun got some water and showed it to Everette. The colour was very off. "This isn't anything natural. It isn't even possible. We.... There has to be someone causing this, and I don't think it is safe to face this on my own. While it shouldn't be impossible for me to handle on my own, there is no reason not to have back up. I am going to start searching the streets for any sign of strange people, someone who might cause this. Head back to the inn, Sam and Conrad should be there. Depending on how Renza is doing, send them to find me. We are dealing with this tonight. No time to wait." Everette told the Chief, hoping this was going to be the best course of action.
As Qamar placed a hand on her shoulder, Tinarah shied away slightly before the girl walked off without much of a word to her. It left things still awkward, given she wasn't necessarily on the best terms with Qamar and Tinarah could never quite figure out how to handle the girl. Every time Tinarah seemed to try and do something, Qamar suddenly came up and took whatever she was doing away, treating her like she was not even there, only to later come around and seem to not understand why that was upsetting. It was getting on Tinarah's nerves, given all that Tinarah was trying to do and the steps back she got pushed every time she tried to take a step forward and Qamar showed up. Perhaps the girl didn't actually mean to do it, but none the less she still always ended up coming in and messing something up on Tinarah. Thankfully it was time to go however soon after. No so thankfully as they exited the underground there was a group of people starting to surround them and question them. She caught the sound of someone saying Black and White Beauty and Tinarah wondered if they were talking to her. It was all so overwhelming she took a step back, trying to retreat, though they were given no room to do such thing. She once tries to open her mouth to try and ask if they would go away, but nothng came from her lips as people pushed in closer. Soon though she felt a hand on her shoulder, this one a little bigger and stronger than Qamar's. Peaking back over her shoulder her brother stood there, telling her to ride with Boreas out of there. Glancing over at the man who seemed to actually be engaging in conversation with the reporters, Tinarah didn't know how she felt about going with him. However looking at her other option, she decided she could deal with this one for now. Approaching Boreas she stood awkwardly beside him until he affirmed that she could mount. She glanced at the crowd then to the person she was riding with, then to her brother. Nothing about this say all that well with her, but she was at least glad to be getting out of there. It was far too many people to deal with at this moment, plus they needed to figure out if their friends were okay. She only hoped that they managed to destroy the Magiteck device in time to give them the upper hand in the fight.
