@Letter Bee@SMS@Ryteb Pymeroce@GentlemanvaultboyAlternate World War II: Pre-Timeskip"Retsam tapped his head in thought. After a few seconds, he lowered his hand and began to make a gesture. Around Taka, the Heartless began to combine into two large massive orbs of darkness. The orbs began to crack, and exploded into two Guard Armors, ready to destroy Taka.
"Honestly, you just seem to be a nuisance... so I'll let these guys handle you..." The Guard Armors had broken through his defense on multiple counts, dealing blows that would result in him hurtling towards the ground. Just when he thought he had an opening, the other Guard Armor would slam an appendage unto his blind spot, blowing him away into a nearby wall or collapsible structure. He endured this brutal beating long enough to figure out a way to cleverly outpace these massive foes. By taking so many hits, he was able to gauge just how fast the Guard Armors took to attack, and how long it would take him to evade such a blow. Using this information to his advantage, he'd leap from limb to limb, each one being worn down from taking damage from the other Guard Armors' flying fist or foot. Soon enough, all that was left were their torsos and heads, a once strong Heartless tag team now reduced to such a minor thorn in Taka's side. "Its been lovely, but, this is the end.." The Nobody then launches a single stream of Ragnarok projectiles from the tip of his blade, doing enough damage for both Guard Armors to fully dissipate. With this exhausting fight won, he regroups with his teammates, the well-being of his comrades being the only thing that allowed him to outlast the blackout he would undergo upon returning to the ship and making sure that they were gotten to where they needed to be.
Timeskip: Present The following week would be short for Taka, for he would out cold in the clinic for quite some time. Not knowing just how long the Nobody would be out of commission, his caretakers stated to those that would come looking for him or asking how he was that he was simply recuperating from "exhaustion" and should not be disturbed until his condition has improved. Taka did not awake until three days after the initial incident. Upon his awakening, he could feel just how sore his entire body was. It was a battle within itself for him to even sit up in his bed. However, this didn't stop the Nobody from getting back into the swing of things. For the remainder of the week, Taka would simply do some basic training to help his muscles breathe, his movements becoming less stiff through this repetitive, yet effective treatment. Being the last person to attend the group discussion of their target destination, Taka was now back to his normal black coat, his face still decidedly veiled by his hood. He hung near the back of the room, leaning back against a wall, arms crossed, listening intently to every word the Emperor utters. Once questions had been answered the teams were assigned, he was then teleported to their designated location on the new world alongside his teammates.
"That should buy us some time, but it's no means impenetrable. Taka, much as I loathe to admit it, your dark corridor allows you to bend space and move practically instantaneously, so I'd like to ask you to scout out where Chronos is coming from. Mai and V2, I suggest you guys get prepared for when they arrive. I'm going to continue to strengthen the room to make it much harder for them to get in, but I have no idea of their full capabilities." With the order being given, Taka could do nothing except oblige Ryteb by doing as he was told. Figuring the best vantage point could only be found above him, Taka utilizes his Corridor of Darkness to move unto the hospital's rooftop, pushing his flashbacks of his most recent fight to the far reaches of his mind, knowing that the role he was currently playing was vital to his team's objective. He couldn't waste time remaining puzzled about this particular event. He knew he needed to concentrate.
