[h3]Mac and Cheese[/h3]
“For crying out loud!” Cheese yelled.

She had literally just gotten all the things she needed to destroy Philippa’s shield and the gosh darn cow decided to run. All that effort, wasted. She and Mac peered carefully over the top of the bench.

“Guess we need another plan.” Mac puffed on the cigarette.

“I don’t need the ashes any more Mac, you can stop smoking” Cheese despised the smell of cigarettes.

“I’ve had a relapse.” 

Cheese had seen the enemy withdraw with a painful stab of magic in her gut; she had been tasked to find and help the Princess of heart and Cheese had let her go! But currently the most urgent matter was keeping Mac safe. The others were already doing their part to combat Drake, the designated heavy hitter being more of a double edged blade, unleashing their own attacks to stave off the tendrils and force them back. Cheese could feel waves of magic crashing around them all sending chills up and down her spine. The strange  thing Tocsax wielded drew her attention especially looking some strange combination of technology and magic.

There off to the right Cheese saw knot of tendrils twist and writhe, surging towards them. She shouted for Mac to get down as she tore the Key Blade from his hands, her own knife still sitting beside crazy Drakes feet. Just in time, the tendrils bounced off the blade with a mighty ‘bang’ but they weren’t even given a sliver of a second’s rest before Cheese set upon them with a vicious strike that carved the tendrils apart. Then the Key Blade simply vanished from her grip. 

Mac had been watching Cheese fighting against the tendrils with a mixture of fear and awe, and the same could be said to the others as well who wielded powers and skills far beyond his own. However, just as it seemed to him that Cheese could win and pull them all through he felt the weight of the Key Blade back in his hand and saw Cheese being swallowed by the tendrils.

“Drake, what the heck are you doing?” He scrambled up from the ground, beating away at the tendrils snaking towards him as best he could.

With a horrible drop in his stomach Mac felt something wrap around his legs and pull him up into the air. Upside down and being thrown about Mac saw another few tendrils dash towards the new arrival and whilst Mac tried to warn him, in his panicked stated it probably sounded more like a string of garbled words. Was that a robot he saw?

The twisting mass of tendrils holding Cheese crashed back down beside Toxsac and Mai, for moment it looked like it would charge at them too but from the looks of it the snake like tendrils were a bit pre-occupied. Cheese shrieked when she managed to partially tear herself out of the mass, bruises and cuts decorating her. But her features looked twisted and slightly less human; nails looking more talon like than ever before, teeth sinking deep into the flesh of a snake, even her wings tattered and torn looked like shards of glass. Cheese was using every bit of magic she could to hold herself together.
