"What the-?!" Jake caught a small flurry of grey fur dash behind him, and as he turned around to see it, he only caught a glimpse of Gurgi about to throw himself into the cauldron.

"Dammit, furball, stay away from that-!!"

It was too late; Gurgi had thrown himself into the cauldron after braving the battle between hero and undead/Heartless. Jake felt little personal sorrow at the death of the dog-being; he had not known Gurgi that well either. Yet the fact that a small, unarmed, defenseless being as Gurgi had chose to sacrifice himself after going into a fight to the death with little more than his bare paws... that just commanded respect.

Jake gave a couple seconds of silence before backhanding a hole through a Heartless that tried to sneak behind him. He then turned around and marched up to the Horned King. 

"Damn, all that hot air, and not a single original word in it," he quipped, stopping in preparation to take on a wall of fire sent his way by the Horned King. He performed a strong Perfect Block to stop the first wave, then engaged in a rapid series of Rolling Blocks followed by Quick Runs, Aerial Glides, and High Jumps to get past the attack waves, and closed in with the Horned King.

"All that big talk, and you still hide behind your minions and fireworks like a scared little kid. That little hairball, I know almost nothing about. Yet by choosing to break the power of your little kitchenware even at the cost of his life... THAT takes courage. And that deserves a little monument too; I think you shattered skull will do."

Jake unleashed his fury, hammering at the Horned King with a flurry of slashes, power strikes, and slams, each blow capable of making even a strong Heartless reel with its power. Jake struck rapidly, trying to break and overextend the Horned King's shields and defense before delivering a powerful kick to his midsection that would send him reeling into the nearest wall, before charging forth in a burst of energy and bringing down Kaiser Leo with enough force that the impact - whether the Horned King shielded himself or not - created a crater 8 feet across in the stone ground.

Jake delivered another mighty blow, causing the very ground around him to tremble and crack as it slammed into foe.

"Yo, ugly! I'm going to beat that bag of bones you call a body until candy comes out!"
