Having been in the lead, Jared was first on the scene. With a swing, he arced his spear in a sweeping blow at some of the flying ones, but they managed to float out of the way. He suddenly had the suspicion that this wouldn't be quite as simple as the creatures on Lunaris proved to be. He saw one of them charging up with magic and had to leap out of the way to avoid being impaled by the icicle it shot down at him. Just then he heard a gunshot and the one that had fired off the spell was knocked back and vanished in a similar manner that it had appeared. And then, some invisible force began forcing another dark blue one closer to the ground. Perfect. Jared jumped on this opportunity, lunging as fast he could and successfully impaling the Heartless on the blade of his spear, it too disappearing in much the same way as the other.

At this point he might have focused on the big one, but the two lighter colored fliers were now directing their attention squarely on him. They looked slightly bigger, which probably meant they were more powerful in some way. And boy were they! The first one cast a spell that unleashed a brief torrent of water like a fireman's water hose. The spray of water was too fast for Jared dodge, and the liquid nature of the water made it impossible to block or deflect so he had no choice but to take the hit, the spray knocking him off his feet and into the snow and ice below him. He staggered to his feet as quick as possible, but his new-found wetness made him even colder than before, as he was now visibly shivering violently and could barely hold his weapon straight as a result. Still, he fought the pain of the cold when he saw the second was about to use its spell and threw his spear at it as hard as he could. The weapon lurched through the air and embedded itself in the chest of the Heartless before it could cast its spell, causing the thing to stagger back and cancel out the charge of its magic.

Then he noticed it. The other one turned around! Its aim was now directed at the young man the soldiers called a prince. The prince stood in wide-eyed surprise, frozen in terror as the Heartless began making its move, "Oh no you don't!" cried Jared as he lurched forward, finally summoning the keyblade and throwing it squarely at the creature only to quickly call it back to his hands and repeat the throw two more times, "Eat this!" he shouted upon performing the last throw, a maneuver that was enough to jar it out of casting its spell but not quite enough to kill it. He could only hope that perhaps Simo's cover fire might finish it off before it could move to attack the Prince again.
