It was another simple and peaceful afternoon in Traverse Town. It was a bit humid outside, but not many people seemed to mind it. A young gentleman by the name of Nick Laruzo was sitting outside the front of his house, reading over a letter from his parents that he had kept for a long time. They wrote this letter to him while they were on vacation, saying that they would return in three months. They haven't returned as they promised. It was another lonely day for him.
“Another day gone by, no word from my parents. Its been a long time, when will they return? Has something happened to them? It just feels so lonely around here without them... " He thought to himself, letting out a sad sigh. Tired of sitting around, Nick decided to get up and take a stroll along the First District. Hoping to find something to do, or come across someone that needs help with a certain task. Like delivering a package to someone. Anything would work. However, he stopped for a moment. Realizing he should at least lock the house up while he's gone.
"I forgot to lock the door, don't want any suspicious people entering the house while I am gone." Nick said to himself. He got the house key out from the left pocket of his jeans, then proceeding to lock the door. Now that the door was locked up tight, he placed the key inside of his left jeans pocket. He was now ready for his stroll. While he was walking away from his house, he took one more look at the front of his door. Wanted to make sure no one else was going to be there, waiting for him. It was clear to him, so he continued his small stroll. Certain that no one was going to be no one at his home. He had also taken the letter he was reading with him.

Suddenly a large portal of darkness appeared from right in front of Nick. It was a corridor of darkness and out from it came a swarm of unknown creatures called the Unversed. Ten Flood Unversed swarmed out of the portal and the last to come out was Vanitas who was still in his mask and dark clothing. "This will make a useful place to gauge my strength." he would say as he scanned the area with his golden yellow eyes though not visible through his mask. He noticed a boy all by his lonesome walking out on the town. He seemed to be all alone but for some reason radiated dark energy. "Hey punk! Get over here and fight me!" Vanitas demanded as he now had Nick surrounded by the ten Flood Unversed. "I need to test my strength and to do that I'll start the carnage with you." he said cracking his knuckles before giving the order to attack Nick. "Destroy him." he would say simply as the Flood Unversed began their attack in response. "Whether or not you defeat them you will have no chance against me." he would laugh manically as he sicked the Unversed on Nick. ~ Create Flood Unversed: Creates up to 10 Flood Unversed with 1 hp to the battle.

"What the heck?!" Nick asked as he was attacked by the enemies that were thrown at him. He was able to get one look at the individual that was in front of him. But didn't have time to ask his name. In the process, he dropped the letter from his parents that he was holding. Luckily, the key to his house didn't fall out of his pocket. It would be unfortunate if the house key was lost. Being locked out of the house would be very unpleasant. This really surprised him.
"Get off of me!" He shouted as he tried to shove the opponents off of him. It wouldn't be an easy challenge those since he was swarmed by many of them at once. He tried a punch a few of them.

 "Get out of my way! Do you dare fight a Black Waltz?" Black Waltz 3 carried a large sack of goods over his shoulder as he traversed the town of Traverse Town, looking for the customer that had ordered Rina's goods. With nothing but a name and a quite vague description of his customer, the machine was left to question the locals (may Kuja take their ignorant souls) as to the location of this 'Cid'. Old man, blonde(?) hair, crippled as all ancient humans were... Suffice it to say, his search rendered less than successful results. Been in nearly every cursed nook and cranny of this blasted maze of a town and hadn't gotten any closer than he had started! Irritated nearly beyond reason, the Black Waltz was considering lighting this sack ablaze to curb his frustration.... but as he passed by one of the larger open areas of the town, he caught sight of a boy... being harrassed by another boy. More specifically, his tiny minions were piling on the poor child as the masked one just stood there, content as a cucumber to watch. How... pleasing. Normally, the Waltz would've just sat there himself, leaning against the nearest wall to watch some poor sap get mutilated by another but he wasn't here for that! In fact, Rina had given him specific instructions to SAVE anyone should they be in danger. He rolled his eyes in disgust, dropping the sack of goods on the ground dismissively as he raised his staff. Sometimes she was such a nice person to be around... Other times his anger knew limited bounds. This was one of those other times. Ripples would suddenly appear around some of the surrounding Unversed, the air distorting as if it were the surface of a lake disrupted by a falling stone. An instant later two massive armored hands shot out from within the ripple, snatching up two of the tiny unnatural creatures in it's grip and crushing them! Two more ripples would appear above the poor child being harrassed by the unversed hoard, two more arms shooting out to sweep the creatures away from the struggling child! Slowly, two massive 15 foot behemoth machines clambered out of the tear in dimensions, standing menecingly over the tiny creatures!  "You." The Waltz pointed towards the masked child with a talon as his machines engaged the unversed. "As much as I enjoy your unrestrained barbarity, it is not welcome in human settlements. Disappear, or I will crush your head through your mask." He spoke harshly, perhaps a hint of amusement at the start but his threat was nothing but serious. He would do it... And he'd laugh while doing it. Summoned 2 Black Guardians!
Black Guardian 1: 5/5 HP
Black Guardian 2: 5/5 HP
Each one engages 2 Unversed. 4 of them attacked in total.

Vanitas could only laugh in delight as he saw the boy suffer. "You have no chance! Now die you pathetic worm!" he would say manically. But as the boy pushed them off something unexpected happened as two giant figures appeared before them and destroyed 4 of the unversed he had created leaving 6 of them left. "Pincer attack!" he said simply as the remaining 6 Unversed went into 2 groups of 3 against both giants leaving their attention off of Nick who could now run away at this point.
Vanitas would take notice to the new arrival and just laughed at his so called threat. "Yeah and I should be scared why?" he would taunt the black mage. "You are just like this one and will be destroyed just as easily!" he would say with an evil grin as the helmet kept from showing his face. "Ha Ha Ha! Is that all you got?!" He would taunt once more as he ordered the remaining Unversed to attack the giants. "Even if you defeat them I can always make more!" he said now freeing his head from his helmet showing his glowing yellow eyes and black pupils. His evil smile was apparent and his face was that of the boy named Sora for those who would recognize his face.

Tired from shoving and punching the enemies away, Nick used this opportunity to get a safe distance from those who were pursuing him. Making sure to grab his dropped letter on the way out of there. Didn't really have enough time to collect his thoughts on what was happening right now. After getting to a safe distance, he decided to watch the events unfold in front of him. He was very confused on what was going on right now. He was actually able to get a quick look at the other individual that suddenly joined, right before he made his way away from there.
"What is going on? Who is that other guy? I am so confused right now..." He thought to himself. This was the most strangest, and most startling event that has ever happened to him in his life. After all, he didn't really get himself into trouble as a kid. Nor has he ever participated in a ferocious battle against someone. Never had to the time to think about it. He took a deep breath, and released it slowly.

"Get out of my way! Do you dare fight a Black Waltz?" [HP=1128/1128] With his targeted unversed destroyed, the remaining 6 broke off to attack the Guardians, three each attacking them wildly at the whim of the master! Black Waltz 3 simply nodded in the machines' directions and suddenly a dark bubble appeared around them, the unversed fools bouncing off of them like nothing. Their attacks... nothing against their Formidable Defense. With a flurry of massive punches, the Machines would dispose of the remaining unversed... But this act of destruction only seemed to amuse the masked child! He stated that he could always make more, that The Waltz would be destroyed just as easily as the child... HA! "You fool." The Waltz sneered, One of the Black Guardians reaching down for the wary child at it's feet, hurling him back into the Waltz's waiting arms. "You Dare fight a Black Waltz? You will burn..." With little care, the massive mage would drop Nick, letting him fall to the ground roughly as the Black Waltz stepped up between him and Vanitas... Just as he undid his mask. The Waltz's eyes shot WIDE as the face beneath the mask... it was SORA'S... He blinked... quiet for a moment... Then he started to laugh... and laugh, his sharp, needle-like teeth shining through the dark veil over his face. "HAHAHAHAHAHAH! BOY! You think because you've returned in a darker outfit and a rougher persona, the outcome of this fight will change!? I will crush you and take your key for myself... Right after I rip away everything else to consume your soul!
Black Guardians use Formidable Defense, Granting a shield that defends against Medium damage and less.

As the Unversed began their pincer attack Vanitas took notice to the barriers surrounding them making them impervious to any damage taken. As the giants attacked once again another four of the Unversed were destroyed. Vanitas pondered what to do next and since the giants had destroyed most of them. "Hmm I suppose you aren't as weak as you appear but I still have two of my little minions left." he would chuckle as he pointed at Nick once again. "Take him for me! We will use this pathetic weakling as a hostage!" he would laugh manically before the two remaining Unversed went after Nick.
Vanitas was not staring down two giant machines as the two remaining Unversed attempted to take Nick hostage and to use as a shield. An evil smile appeared on his face as he took his stance which was similar to Riku's as he drew his Keyblade 'Void Gear' to fight the black mage that was Black Waltz 3. "I have no idea who you are and what you are talking about but you will die all the same so that hardly matters to me."
Vanitas held his stance as he waited for any form of attack to hit him for the foe to fall in his little trap.
"Come on then you idiot try to hit me!" he would say motioning toward him with his hand to come toward him.

Nick gets up from his rough landing, only to see two of the same enemies he had encountered before. Looks like they wouldn't be letting him go that easily. The only thing he could really do is try to attack them. Didn't really have too much time to think of a good plan. He put his letter into his left jean pocket. Didn't want to lose it this time.
"Get away from me!" He shouted, trying to shove and punch the monsters away from him. He was already tired out from the last time he had to deal with those creatures. He had no choice but to fight his opponents, and hold out for a while. As long as he could.

"Get out of my way! Do you dare fight a Black Waltz?"
Black Waltz 3 'tsk'ed in disgust as the boy once again found himself accosted by the two measly creatures, still rolling around and screaming as they did their minescule work. How utterly pathetic this child was. It almost- no... it DID sicken him he was coming to this boy's aid. If he had his way, the machine would've killed them BOTH right here and maybe he would've gotten away with it too were he on his home world! For now he had to play savior, however. When he got home... he was going to give Rina a piece of his mind... This boy couldn't run to save his life, could he...? He was worthless as a fighter, worthless as a coward... he wasn't worth salvation and yet... here he was, delivering it upon him... After he was done with Dark Sora, he would come after this child next... just for being annoying.
The Black Waltz held up a hand, Sparks of Thundaga arching up and around the Black Waltz sweeping behind him to infuse the two remaining unversed with massive amounts of voltage! One more stream shot towards Vanitas but that wasn't the only attack made today...
With their targets destroyed, The Black Guardians stood apart from their master, cocking a massive fist each back before SLAMMING it hard into the earth in the Strike technique, sending a huge sweeping shockwave of power arching towards the dark child as the lightning volt followed suit! 3 separate attacks came at him from 3 separate directions! Let them see how he crumbles...
"Child, if you do not flee, I will allow this... other child to kill you. You are as much an annoyance as you are a hindrance so if you wish to live... go now!"
With this declaration stated, Fire would start to ignite in the crescent of the Waltz's staff, growing in strength and power, coagulating at the cup in the center! With a tiny *twitch* of his wrist, a MASSIVE Firaga exploded from the staff, arching up in the air and coming down upon Vanitas like a mortar shell! 4 attacks now he had to deal with! This child was surely decimated....
Black Waltz uses Thundaga, splitting it into 3 attacks: 2 targeting the remaining unversed (light damage) while the remaining one attacks Vanitas. (medium damage) [Cooldown 3 posts]

Vanitas had lured the mage into attacking him which was something he had expected to happen. What he didn't expect to happen was for him to attack in every conceivable direction but luckily for him he had just then popped his Slowing Barrier which neutralized all of the magical attacks at once and from every single direction. This barrier is and still will be able to block all these magical attacks due to it's round shape. The physical attacks did not do damage to the barrier itself but because they hit the shield the giants that inflicted them are now hit with the SLOW status ailment but hit Vanitas with said attacks hurting him pretty badly from the twin strike attack.
Vanitas just laughed off the pain as he had just blocked the mage's supposed magical assault which he easily blocked. This would leave Vanitas visible within the shield but not for long as he activated his Clone Burst ability which covered the area he was in with black smoke. Suddenly multiple clones of Vanitas would come rushing out of said smoke and attacking the giants along with Black Waltz.
If that wasn't bad enough with each attack he did he left an afterimage of with each strike making each clone and afterimage hard to tell apart as Vanitas continued his own assault which made it a perfect time for Nick to seek cover from this battle as Vanitas had not been paying attention to him at the moment. His other unversed were all finally eliminated but Vanitas did not care in the least as he now had someone to fight unlike this weakling that he had originally tried to destroy.
"Can you keep up?! Which one is the real me I wonder?" he would laugh hysterically as he kept up the pace.

"Finally, another opportunity to get the heck out of here. Hopefully I don't get chased down." Nick said to himself as he began running as fast as he could. He made his way over to the door that lead into the Second District. He checked his pockets quickly, and rushed in there. Didn't want to leave anything behind, because there have been times where has left stuff behind by mistake. When he got there, he continued to run. He need a safe place to hide out in, couldn't just stay in the open.
"I have an idea where I can hide, that hotel should be a good hiding place. I think." He thought as he ran towards the hotel, not many people were around the Second District. Upon reaching those hotel doors, he stopped and opened the door. Luckily, it was not locked or anything. Once inside, he stopped and took a breather. He was nearly out of breathe, and lucky to get out of that big fight with some bruises.
"That was brutal, I should be safe for now... Hopefully. " He thought as he took a seat in some chair in the lobby. Resting up from that fight he had to escape from.

How many more errands was she going to run? This temporary situation was beginning to feel more like a full time gig. After the last ’favor’ to the First District a few days prior, Stella was less inclined to make another delivery on Seito’s behalf. The idea that more of those, “Heartless” as they were referred to, appearing during another trip outside the bistro was rather unappealing. Fortunate enough that it was, Seito only required a simple inquiry from another hotel here in town. Apparently the inn keepers kept in touch, sharing their books, in a joint effort to help accommodate the frequent travelers that passed through this meager town. It wasn’t far of a walk from the bistro, and had in fact been rather inviting. Stella enjoyed the peaceful walk beneath the ever present stars, taking in the soft rasps of her boots among the quiet courtyard.
The incident with Chronos had been rather unusual, as she still found herself curious about the Mi’qote. More So the rather disturbing fact she knew his name, and that he knew hers, yet Stella had no slightest recollection of ever meeting him before that. The thoughts about the fight ate at her, almost as much as her desire to return home, which also began to feel like a far away dream. Whether or not they actually had a past they shared, Stella was certain she would find out more the next time they encountered each other. She felt she needed to know about it, just as much as she needed to know the way back to Libra. Though without any leads on where to begin looking, and her commitment to paying Seito back for his help, the wayward royal felt herself bound to Traverse Town until that time came.
In midst of her walk to the other hotel, the sound of distant explosions could be heard in the First District, drawing her attention to the great oaken doors. What the hell…? she mused to herself, hand still stretched out for the front door. She couldn’t stop herself from frowning at the sight of a younger man, whom seemed to have sprinted into the district, and enter the hotel from the farther entrance. Odd… she thought, before entering the establishment from the door before her. She cast a gaze of amber down the hall, catching a glimpse of the youth as he took a seat. She thought little of it, stepping forward to the concierge’s desk with a weak smile. ”Hey there, I’m Stella. Seito sent me over?” She pulled a notepad from her jacket’s pocket, before handing it to the unimpressed lady behind the desk. The elder woman adjusted her spectacles ever slightly, eyeing Stella’s appearance from head to toe.
”Still sending kids to do his chores hm?”
Stella was rather taken aback by the comment, her brow furrowing slightly. ”I’m not really a-“ ”Oh please, hun. You get to be my age, everyone’s a kid.” They both went silent as the elder briefly skimmed the written list. ”Tell him I have no beds this week. He’ll have to cover the rest.” Stella took the information with a nod, before stepping away with a casual wave. She would turn to exit the way she came, yet came to pause before taking hold of the door again. She regarded the youth in the chair again, noting that he looked to be a little bothered by something. What that was, she could only imagine. Heartless were her first guess, given how his body language appeared. She approached with caution, arms crossed, as she would tilt her head to try and catch a better glimpse of his face.
”Haven’t seen you in town before- You, uh- you alright there kid?”

Nick looked up at who was speaking to him. He was quite surprised because not many people talk with him often. He got up from his chair, facing the young lady. She seemed like a nice person to him.
"Oh, hello there. I had a bit of a run in with some terrible monsters that someone sent out, whoever it was. Then some other guy comes in, and starts battling that other individual who sent monsters to attack me. Got some bruises from the fight. It was all so sudden. All I wanted to do was take a simple stroll around town, it's what I usually do since there's not much for me to do at home. I've been alone for a while." He said to her, taking his letter out of his pocket. Wanted to make sure that it wasn't badly damaged. Thankfully, it was only crumpled up a bit. He put the letter back into his pocket, knowing that nothing bad has happened to it. He redirected his attention towards the individual he was speaking to. He started randomly tapping the middle of his left hand with two of his fingers on his right hand. Something he does when he is in a conversation with someone, but not too often.

"Get out of my way! Do you dare fight a Black Waltz?" With the boy having escaped his utterly dangerous and no doubt self inflicted fate, the Black Waltz had no other reason to hang around... As much as he'd love to tear Sora's soul from his body bit by bit, he was not here to do so... He had a mission and that always came first. The Black Guardians faded back into the air as Memoria called them back, the Black Waltz taking into the air with a flap of his wings as Vanitas began to split himself into various copies.
"You have become tougher..." The Waltz acknowledged swooping back quickly to scoop up the package he had dropped earlier. From there he would ascend rather quickly, well out of the dark-Sora's reach as he moved in for an attack. "...However I am not here to discover your limits. The next time we meet, however... It will be the last time..."
And with that, he would fly off, ascending ever further until he could survey nearly the entire town from above, his flying high above the town.
"Now... Where is that accursed old man...? I might just destroy him instead for being so difficult to locate!" Fly: Allows the Waltz to take to the sky, making him immune to all melee attacks on the ground by flying out of range. Also uses it to escape the battle and exit the topic if left uninterrupted.
