[IC] Kingdom Hearts: Darkness Reborn

[Renose]

This thing sure was persistent as hell. Unfortunately Simo wasn't able to cast that strange Gravity Spell again. That spell certainly did seem handy, as being able to keep a foe in place to get a strike on them wasn't a bad thing to have. Fortunately their lack of Gravity was quickly solved, when a blue dressed woman came forth. It seemed she had some powerful magic that could control the snow on the beast's body, and possibly had been the one to create said creature. Whatever was going on though there was no time to think over, as Elim had only this chance to strike.

Elim charged forward with as much speed as he could, which was pretty swift in actuality. He kept his weapon a Morning Star, since it was lighter and easier to run with. With a powerful leap he moved towards the red ice core, raising his weapon in the process. With the momentum of his jump he brought his weapon down on the core once, and then a second time, with a third strike with all of the strength he could manage. Elim wasn't resting there though. He jumped upward, changing his weapon back into that large bladed Glaive, fire enveloping the blade as Elim poured a bit more magical energy into it this time.

"DIE!!" He shouted, a fiery fury in his eyes as with one final push, and the momentum of a drop, he stabbed his glaive straight into the core with all of the strength he could muster, hoping that this would end the beast once and for all.

Well this was problematic; Simo had no idea that casting spells could be this exhausting. And it wasn't even physically exhausting, but something else. It was like a muscle that he never had before was starting to get worn out. As someone who hunted beasts five times his size on a slow day back home, he was no stranger to fatigue...but this...this was something very new. What was so strange about it was that it in no way made moving his body any harder. It was truly baffling

While he couldn't bring it down with his Gravity spell, he saw that he didn't need to, as Elim had managed to get his shape-shifting weapon inside of it, with what seemed to be the help of some strange women in blue who looked like she was trying to talk to it. That gave Simo the opening he needed. Lodging a sharp object into it had caused cracks to form on the surface of the core. So all Simo had to do was aim at a particularly nasty looking crack and fire...which is exactly what he did

With a final cry, the the core of the giant shattered, causing the rest of the creature to crumble or melt away. The Darkness that had seemed to corrupt the giant was gone now, perhaps it was Heartless seeking to take a heart that was never actually there, since the giant was a construct and not an actual being. Either way, the battle seemed to finally be over. As such, Ana and Kristoff came out of hiding, Ana actually applauding the efforts of Elim and Simo before she paused to realize that Elsa had come out, "Sis?" she asked, then ran up to her sister and might have even hugged her, but Elsa pushed her back, having never been one for showing affection.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you notice how ridiculously dangerous it is up here?" Elsa demanded, now apparently scolding Ana for following her up this mountain. This got Ana teary eyed, but then she started shouting in return.

"Well, if YOU hadn't left in the first place..." the two might have started arguing right then and there, but a crashing sound interrupted them. It came from the palace, and soon the source of the noise made itself known. A winged Pirate Heartless had apparently been thrown through the window and was now flying away from its attacker, who came leaping out of window, throwing his Keyblade in midair after the Heartless, but the creature had gotten too far away and managed to dodge the blade before escaping into the distance. Now on the ledge of the window, Jared used his own acrobatic skills to parkour his way back to the main staircase to rejoin the others. He didn't look too happy.

"Damn it, he got away..." he said, swearing under his breath, "...I take it the quiet means we're done here, right?" of course it wasn't quiet for long. Ana made sure of that.

"I came up here to find YOU, we need you back home, Elsa!" Ana said, shouting at her sister.

"Who said I wanted to come home?" asked Elsa, "It's safer for everyone if I just stay up here and away from people! You saw what I did the other night!"

Jared pinched the bridge of his nose. This was going to be a long trip back to the kingdom, wasn't it? He tried to block out the bickering sisters for now in favor of another thought. Why did that Heartless even run away in the first place? They were never that intelligent, and according to the information the ship had given about them, the only times Heartless ever acted with such intelligence was when someone was... commanding... them. "Uh oh," said Jared, sharply looking in the direction the Heartless had fled, "Will you two stop your argument, please? We've got a situation!" he suddenly said, standing between the Princess and Queen and finally having had enough of the bickering, "That Heartless that ran away," he gestured in the direction the creature had flown, "that way goes back to the Kingdom, doesn't it?"

Elsa, Ana, and even Kristoff looked off in the distance and seemed to realize the problem right away, "Not good, not good!" cried Ana as went back to the sled that Kristoff was already preparing. Jared then approached Elsa.

"Look, Your Majesty, you may wanna go home right now, but it looks like it's in danger now... and we could really use your powers to help us." he told her bluntly. She seemed to think about it then sighed and walked forward.

"Fine, but I'm not staying." she said, holding her hands out and conjuring a sled made of ice, then summoned a team of two horses made of snow to pull it. Between the two sleds, there was just enough room for everyone to ride back to Arendelle. With the transportation, the trip back would be much quicker than the one up the mountain in the first place. Of course, they didn't need to get close to Arendelle to notice it was in trouble. Dark clouds seemed to hang over the place, and when the sleds got close there were some Heartless at the main gate to greet them.

"Ugh, forget these guys! We need to find the source!" Jared said, having ridden in Elsa's sled. The snow queen nodded at his words and used her powers to trap the Heartless in ice so that they could skip through them and into the city itself. More Heartless were there, and most of them seemed to be gathered around the big fountain in the town square, and so that was where the sleds went to. Both sled teams stopped in their tracks when the fountain came in view. There, in the middle of the Heartless swarm, standing tall and confident, was Prince Hans and a familiar-looking Pirate Heartless.

"You..." said Jared, "You're behind this!"

"Unfortunate that it had to come to this..." said Hans, beginning to step toward the party, "...but you people interfered and forced my hand. If only you'd just died out in that frozen wasteland, then this all could have been so much simpler..."

"But... you said I was your true love..." said Ana in tears. Hans scoffed.

"Please, if I'd been able to woo your sister like I originally planned, I'd have never had to trouble myself with you. Now, if you mind... I'd like for you all to kindly DIE!" he said in response, drawing a saber of his own toward the end and giving a command for the Heartless to attack, lunging forward himself.
