Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Being in the middle of the tide, continually being pulled back through it and scratched by the heartless as she was making her way through it. Grabbing at each and everyone one of them she could, the girl was having a bit of a difficult time fighting them, and eventually was expelled from the wave once more. The scratches being evident by the wounds the girl had on her face, she still readied herself for the coming swarm that was moving towards her. Beginning to spin in the air, the girl looked quizzically at them. It was only then that she realized what was happening as a flurry of shadows started to be lobbed at her from the swarm itself towards her. Being caught off guard, the girl could only raise her arms up to defend against the first bunch of heartless being lobbed at her, preventing some of the damage. As another collection of shadows was lobbed at her, the girl clenched her fists and looked towards the swarm. Figuring this was the perfect time to strike back, she let out a mighty punch towards the heartless, felling the ones shot at her in one punch.

After punching away parts of the tide that were thrown at her, the girl began to brace herself once again, waiting for more parts of the demon tide to be tossed at her. However, instead of that, she instead saw the demon tide start to move towards her, diving its way forward. Unsure of how to actually deal with the entire swarm flooding its way towards her, the girl then noticed that within the swarm was a large bulbous orb of darkness. Seeing it, and seeing legs of shadows coming out from it, the girl figured that if there was a weak point to target, it would be that. Bracing herself, the girl tanked the heartless flying at her, only to then unleash an uppercut at the orb, sending the demon tide upward in pain as the attack struck solidly against it.

"So... does it hunt for you or does it just play around with the wee kids?" Steel donned an extremely confident and menacing smirk.

"Weeeeeell~" Whatever Steel was going to say to Finlay was lost to the mist of time, as things suddenly... escalated. It seemed by the end of it that the Horde of heartless had this time taken a rather more hive-like approach to confronting the lot of them. However, it was not something he could pay attention to at the moment, as the Darkside with the strange bluish tint was a far more immediate threat.

With a twirl of his cape, Steel transformed into a Ninja and with a flick of his wrist he summoned Starseeker. With his regular eye covered, Steel glared up at the Darkside through the eye of the storm. "I'm not bad at hunting actually!" His shout was a response to Finlay, but it also served as the start of a ferocious attack. He charged the beast and leapt high into the air before unleashing a combo of furious blows in an unrelenting torrent. For indeed, just as it seemed he was done, he burst back into action, slicing at the Darkside's head for an inordinate amount of time overall.

Steel attacked with a combo x2!

 

After sending the demon tide hurtling up into the air, the girl looked around to see that there were still shadows clawing at her heels from the initial onslaught of the tide. Stomping on the ground, the girl caused a quake to happen, forcing the heartless onto their backs due to being tripped up by the force. Sweeping her leg in a circle, Aeira managed to kick through all of the heartless, destroying them in one single stroke of her leg. Standing back up, the girl looked towards the demon tide as it started to come back towards her for round two. Not about to turn it down, Aeira stood her ground as the heartless demon tide dove towards her, spinning in a drilling fashion. Creating a few orbting stones around her, the girl put them in front of herself, creating a shield to buffer against the rush of heartless, then sending another punch into the core of the heartless swarm, sending it back again.

One thing had lead to another and the diverse group of heartless had turned into two massive swarms of heartless that had broke apart the group of keyblade wielders. It was Steel, Aislinn, Beuce, Ananta, Hikaru and himself that had were made to deal with the blue darkside before them. He didn't even know that they could turn blue, but other than just an appearance change, nothing else seemed to be different about it. Still clad in his soldier get up, his called forth his keyblade and attacked with a Zantesuken. Something that was quickly becoming a signature way of starting off a battle like this.

Kel used Zantesuken

Vallus had been doing nothing besides cutting up heartless, so the sudden change to a large group of them that were already clustered together didn't faze him at all. He just continued to slice and dice through them.

As Aeira got ready to strike against the demon tide yet again, the girl looked to see that another had stepped in to fighting the red demon tide as well. As Vallus had managed to cleave through some of them, Aeira was quick on the follow up. Stomping on the ground, the girl summoned more rocks yet again. Combining the rocks together, turning her large rocks into a giant boulder, the girl punched forward. The rock was sent hurtling forward, right into the side of the demon tide, causing the creature swarm that was reeling from Vallus's attack to be caught off guard by the sudden impact. The wave briefly broke apart, though somehow the shadow heartless managed to merge back together and continue flying around, causing hell for everyone in the area.

Beuce looked up at the massive creature looming over them. They were divided from about half of their group, while Karina and her new gang were handling what seemed to be a spiraling vortex of shadows. He wasn't sure exactly how that worked, or what you'd even call it. A shadownado? Shadnado? No those both sounded dumb. Besides, there was a far more pressing threat. He looked to the rest of the group that would be fighting the darkside before them and charged forward to join them. Pouring his lifeblood into the darkness, it gave him strength in return. He floated up into the air and propelled forward, stabbing and slashing at the dark side before performing one last downward thrust that released a burst of energy.

Beuce used Dark Aura

 

As the demon tide continued to float around, circling in the sky, the girl got ready for whatever kind of charge it would do at her. Flying through the air, the demon tide moved in Aeira's direction, doing what Aeira assumed to be getting ready to strike at her. Putting her hands up, the girl was surprised when the demon tide instead just flew overhead, and with a confused look on her face looked up towards it. "Oh," she said, as a large clump of shadows were dropped onto her from above, trying to slam down onto her a crush her. Taking a quick breath, the girl reeled back her fist, and with a swift motion punched into the ball of shadows. Though she wasn't able to destroy it all in one go, the sphere of heartless still became a less solid mass, instead scattering to the ground. Stomping on the ground, the girl knocked the heartless into the air with a quake, getting down onto her hands and with a spinning kick tearing through all of the heartless. Springing back up onto her feet, the girl then looked back to the demon tide.

Ignis had been separated into her own group from the Darksides that had appeared, and apparently they weren't going anywhere till they were taken care of. Unfortunately for her, she had to listen to the bad puns of Kaida and Stratos when they attacked the Darksides. She simply clenched her fist and jumped at the Heartless, smacking it and walking away, letting the explosion take effect. "So are you two going to make bad puns every time you attack?" turning her head towards Kaida and Stratos.

Ignis used Fist Bump.

 

Finlay relented his attack on Steel with a quip about doing tricks. Ananta decided to just ignore the man and look onwards to see two darksides appear along with masses of heartless. Taking no chances, she quickly switched out her keyblades and pointed them at Beuce. She cast an Aero spell upon him and waited for her next chance. "I'll keep you guys healthy, just focus on beating the crap out of this thing." She said as a light started to spark around her before it puffed back out.

Ananta used Aerora on Beuce.

 

As the demon tide continued to rule the sky, Aeira stood her ground on the earth, awaiting what other nonsensical attack the creature would send her way. As the creature began to spin around, it started to circle itself, creating a ring in the air as it did so. During this time, Aeira was wondering just what it was about to do when it started to spew shadow heartless at her. While not an overall new attack, what was new about it was that it was not firing large clumps of the shadows at a time at her. Instead, it was rapid firing them off towards her, one after the other. At first Aeira had tried to punch against it, but was inevitably starting to be forced back by the sheer number, with just a bunch of shadows on her. Once the attack had finished, Aeira, now on the ground and underneath a swarm of shadows scratching her, merely slammed her fist into the ground. With the shockwave being generated, the heartless were knocked off, followed by the girl striking back at the shadows and destroying them one after the other.

With Finlay also now on the demon tide, it seemed to be starting to lose more and more of its substance. Or at least she thought it was. As the heartless began to thin out, she saw that slowly but surely more shadows seemed to appear out from nowhere and fill in the missing gaps of the demon tide. While Aeira was made curious by this kind of thing, she had her theories as to where the heartless were coming from, and decided to continue pressuring onward against the demon tide. Charging forward, as the demon tide made its way towards her, barreling at her, the girl jumped to it side. With a swift punch, the girl struck her arm into the demon tide, dragging her through the side of the tide, creating a large "gash" in the creature.
