[color=bc8dbf]"Over here! Quick!"[/color]

Mai's orders towards the civilians were short, but efficient. She was able to guide a good amount of civilians out of the village for their safety from the Heartless. The Large Bodies and Red Nocturnes proved to be a nuisance for her, as this was her first time encountering such enemy types. Even at a glance, she had sustained some injuries from said Heartless, but nonetheless kept her poise and acted as if she was unharmed to keep the civilians calm and under control, something she often did back in her home world.

Once the coast was clear, one of the last men in the crowd to join called out to her and began pointing towards central square. From what she understood, apparently there was something really big happening there.

[color=bc8dbf]"Oh crap!"[/color] The girl got too... comfortable in her situation, as it was something she was very used to doing a lot. Just as she was about to rush out, a sting in her right ankle momentarily paralyzed her as she regained her composure. [color=bc8dbf][i]"This is gonna be a nuisance. I'll need to be careful."[/i][/color] It was an injury she sustained from a Large Body several minutes beforehand. It had blindsided her and caused her to land on her feet awkwardly and forcefully as she recovered from the attack.

[color=bc8dbf][i]"Did something bigger appear?"[/i][/color] Was the first question that popped into her head. The sounds of a big battle in the square were echoing through the now empty streets, even as a few Heartless did pop up here and there, of which Mai quickly dispatched.

Once she arrived at the edges of the square, she took a moment to assess the situation. [color=bc8dbf][i]"Who the heck are all of these new guys?!"[/i][/color] It didn't feel like she was gone for too long, but now there seemed to have been at least five more non-Heartless people she didn't recognize present and fighting. She couldn't tell friend or foe at first, but when she saw familiar faces on one side, it was clear to her that the others left weren't friendlies.

[color=bc8dbf]"What is going on here?"[/color] One of her supposed friendlies was getting ganged up on by figures that looked like the fat person in the farther back. [color=bc8dbf][i]"Is he behind this?"[/i][/color] She poised herself for an offense, aiming her Keyblade at the big guy before closing her eyes to focus. 

[color=bc8dbf]"One silent step."[/color] In a flash, the girl was just a few feet away from the fat person. [color=bc8dbf]"Two steps infinite."[/color] Mai pulled back her Keyblade as far as she could, "Three steps, a blade absolute!," before thrusting it forward in a piercing motion towards him. [color=bc8dbf]"Three stage thrust!"[/color] This move was one of her family's deadliest sword techniques. In theory, it is comprised of three thrusts that "occur and exist at the same time and place". Such a technique would normally not be blockable, and be very powerful. However, with Mai's very grounded logic and mindset, she isn't able to properly execute the technique, and instead in her state, it is just three very powerful thrusts that occur one after another.

That was the idea at least. [color=bc8dbf][i]"This is bad."[/i][/color] She put too much pressure on her right ankle during her movement, and in her second of pain, caused her attacks to slow down and give her target some time to retaliate or block should he have noticed her arrival despite his size.
