The little man pipes up."I am a jawa jackass." He growls.

"You're small, and you have glowing eyes. And aren't jawas furry?" The captain sighs, and then shrugs, handing the little man a rifle. "Show me what you've got. Pick a target, preferrably not a living one, and show me if you can shoot straight. If you can aim, you're accepted."

The jawa looks around before noticing a large loading mech hauling stuff around. He fires at it rapidly, punching holes into its weak points before hitting its powersource disabling it. Every shot was true, and hit its mark.

((Very well))The darkness remains, as Mephiles tries to capture and destroy it, it's power not so easily destroyed. Although he does not feel it's weight upon him, your life is being drained, your heart slowing, both of the souls being slowly extinguished. Even Chaos cannot act within the sterile environment of the lifeless void.

Mephiles smile vanishes. Of course, he isn't full power... but still... Mephiles closes his eyes, and the Chaos stops. The Darkness is no longer hindered. It was like he wanted it to extinguish him.

[thewizardguy]

Each shot shoots out a beam of blue light, harmless, as it does nothing butilluminate the weak points of the mech. "Geez. Good thing I didn't give you an actual gun, you little psycho, I'd have to pay for that. Do you have any idea how much those cost?" Ma'Ken sighs again, and rubs his forehead. "Whatever. You're a good shot, and I promised you a spot. Just try not to break anything expensive, okay?"

"Yippie!" He says. "Aweeeessssoooommmmeeeee." He yells.

((Sorry, didn't see this.))
The darkness is still within Mephiles' soul, and as he dispells the Chaos, he can once again feel the pressure of emotion, and his emotions are then drawn to nothingness.

Mephiles embraces the darkness, but studies it carefully, analyzing it in a way, looking for weaknesses, deterrents, anything he can use against it.

He finds it to be...... darkness. The antithesis of life. And as he studies it, he finds it studying him as well. The line When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you pops into his head, as he realizes the Darkness isn't attacking. It isn't trying to kill Mephiles. It found something weird, and it's poking it with it's finger. The death of the planet, the barrier of shadow, the drawing of emotion...... those are all just natural aspects of it's presence.

The tendril of Darkness is hit b the light, and it curles around it. It absorbs the light, and the light becomes nonexistant, as it fades away, the Darkness spreading towards you. However, the light made it hesitate. The combined power of three keyblades made it hesitate, and thus, it can be stopped. It could possibly have weakness, it can be fought like a normal enemy, albeit a powerful one. It's not the unstoppable, infinite source of pain and death that your minds' fear had conjured up, the image spawned from your sense of impunity before it. This alone, gives you hope to face it, as the shroud that kept you from doing anything much is lifted, and finally you're able to move freely and with speed.

I dual wield Oathkeeper and Oblivion, able to fight on my own. Ventus summons 6 swords of light alongside his own keyblade, the swords floating behind him like wings. Vanitas continues to use light based attacks. We simultaneously attack the Darkness with light-based attacks, Vanitas with a beam, Ventus with his 7 swords, and me with bursts of light.

He tries to communicate with the Darkness, find some way to, I don't know, speak with it?

The area is lit up brightly, and the man is revealed. He's old and frail, a hole in his chest where his heart should be. He wears a ragged robe, and ragged clothing, his eyes black pits, filled with the Darkness. He shambles backwards, as the blades and beams of light strike the tendriles of darkness, which reatreat, moving in, only to retreat again. More tendrils of Darkness spill from the man's hand, like small hands or pure blackness, reaching to you, only to be sliced and stabbed into submission, retaining their distance. Against all odds, you seem to be driving back the Darkness, the thing that had, at first, dominated your minds with it's mere presence now humbled before you, a mere shambling old man, retreating in fear, his expression one of sorrow and anguish.

The Darkness fills your mind, and it becomes apparent that it is intrigued by life. Seeking to find out what life is, the Darkness found a host that it could use as a vessel. Starting it's journey, however, it found Life retreating from it at every point, dying out just as the Darkness arrived. Mephiles is apparently the first living being the darkness was able to invade without breaking it either mentally or physically, although even now Mephiles feels the strain on his body. Having the Darkness inside of him for any extended period of time would surely be fatal. The Darkness is new to thought, or communication, but these simple experiences and thoughts become apparent, in a rather simple mind, compared to the vastness of the being in itself.

The three of us continue to attack, My bursts of light becoming columns of light as I use Salvation, Ventus continues using his blades, never letting up, and Vanitas beams turn into rapid bursts of light.

Eventually, you reach the old man, only one tendril remaining, which is connected to Creed. The man is shivering, and wraps himself in his cloak, as if it would offer some protection from your swords. Darkness moves in his eyes and the hole in his chest, the man's teeth having fallen out. He stinks of rotting fresh, and his soul feels broken, the Darkness infesting it like a parasite. Twisting life instead of extinguishing it. The man must once have been a great mage, who stood against the Darkness alone. Now, his great power serves only to keep him in this mockery of life, as the Darkness thrives in his body and soul.

Mephiles tries to send thoughts into the Darkness, telling it all he can. Thousands of millions of years shows that Chaos is just a little younger than Darkness and Light, and he shows everything his Chaos has observed of Life and how it works. He also tells Darkness that for everything he knows, there's much he doesn't, for Life is a nearly impossible thing to understand. Everything he knows, he spills out for the Darkness.

"You guys ready?" I ask Ventus and Vanitas. Once they nod, I point my blades at the man. "Trinity Limit!" Beams of light pulse from the tips of all four of our blades, locking him in place. An orb of light appears above him. As Ventus and Vanitas hold him in place, I go to finish him off, closing in on the Darkness while keeping the beams of light in front of me to break through his defenses.

Mephiles is able to tell the Darkness much, as it reaches out towards him more and more. Unfortunately, Mephiles is forced to break the connection before he can tell the Darkness nearly half of what he knows. Any more of the Darkness' happy attention, and your heart would have stopped beating.

As the orb of light hits the old man, he laughs, the Darkness shooting from his body in all directions. His laugh becomes weaker and weaker, the black ink-like blackness leaving through his eyes, ears, and his heart, , as his body contorts and twists. You can feel the mind of the Darkness leave, screeching, as the man's laugh ends in a coughing, rasping finale. Then the man stops. "Thank..... you....." The man attempts to smile. Then he dies, the attempt frozen on his face.

Ventus and Vanitas cover their eyes while I illuminate the entire area with multiple columns of light, the two of them silently mourning the old man's loss. "....."

Mephiles decides it's time to go. Now. He suddenly pulls all his will power into expelling the darkness and covering himself in a protective layer of Chaotic energy. He tears out of the Darkness' grasp and runs.
