Jake felt a strange feeling "its the... the dark... world again" he whimpered looking around "HELP!!!" after a few seconds of silence he got up as if never hurt "well, well... your all here... this is more like it"
Sora took a step back and drew his keyblade "what are you!?!" he looked a Nini "whats wrong with him?" (Mehrana:))

(( Quit with yer pokin' already! XD I went outside for a while to do my homework with some of my friends- I didn't forget. ))

Nini whipped around as she scrambled to her feet, a look of both distress and confusion. "We don't have time to explain. Get ready- but don't hurt him!" She commanded, stepping back several feet and hovering a few inches above ground.

"What? What's he doin'?" Goofy demanded, following Nini in taking a few cautionary steps away.

"I told you, we don't have the time. Just brace yourselves." Nini, had she possesed the sufficient organs to do so, would have been holding her breath.

((i know but its fun too :XD))
Jake looked at them as a black auora started to surround him "now you all get to die in the same place... unless some-one runs" he said as his voice started to sound more darker and more echoy "whos first?... ah the dear old sora" he said as he lunged at Sora
Sora dodge the attack and rolled "WHAT THE HELL!!!" he yelled as he swung his keyblade which was blocked by the samurais quick thinking "ARE YOU NUTS!!!"

Nini screamed, scrambling back and grabbing Sora by the arm, pulling him with her. "Stay back!" She commanded.

Jake chuckled "and why would i want to?" he said as he walked closer "i want you all to die, and you shall"
Sora stumbled a bit "WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING!" he yelled at Nini

"I-" She stammered, racking her brains for a suitable explanation. "It's like a second personality. This is the second time-!" She stumbled, feet catching on thin air, collapsing onto the ground.

XX walked over to Nini and grabbed her by the thraot "heh heh heh... so... weak" he said and started to crush her neak
Sora was fozen for a second, but when XX grabbed Nini he stabbed him in the side, and XX dropped Nini

Nini fell to the floor sputtering, her hands clasping at her now bruising neck. She coughed a few times before looking over to a wide-eyes Sora, his Keyblade held out in front of him. Collapsed on the ground was a newly-punctured 20, darkness seeping out of the gaping wound in his side. "20!" Nini screamed, scrambling over to his fallen form and staring, unbeleiving and almost, if it were possilbe- scared.

XX was still not back to normal and he knocked Nini back and Sora gave another stab and a slash " STOP HURTING HER!!!"

"Stop it!" Nini shouted over the din of slashing swords. "Stop!" She repeated, crawling backwards and away from the chaos.

(um im really really really sorry for not posting for the past couple of months)

Tai appeared in front of nini helping her up while giving her a hi-potion. "sorry it took me so long to find you both" he laughed. Hearing XX speak in a gloomy tone, tai forced him into a cube made out of his smaller ones. "what is the matter with him" tai asked without realizing that sora was no more than 2 feet away.

XX feel down and he was silent again, then the voice was heard from the walls "youve won this time... but i will be back"
Sora stepped back a bit and bumped into another nobody, he instinct was to turn and get ready to hack "are able to talk and have feeling?" he demanded a answer

(( It's totally fine. o 3o ))

"Thank you, Tai." She thanked the Sorcerer, then turning to Sora. "He's fine- he's with me." She said, making her way over to the cage of cubes Tai had built up around 20. "Tai, I think it's alright to let him go now." She told him, although her voice was quiet and all too unsure.

((i will wait, but what if he doesn't reply?))

(dont worry i am)

Tai stood unmoving blank to the words that were shot at him. standing in front of sora made him feel a little heavy. but he took his focus of of him for a second to release XX from his cubed prison. "what's going on here" he asked in a demanding voice as he positioned himself covering his blind spots.

Sora took down his gaurd and when he realised it was clear he put his keyblade away "well... Tai... you are just like Nini... you get to live then"
((Mehrana: ))

Nini let Sora do the talking, crouching down in front of 20. "Is he gonna be alright?" She whispered, more to herself.

XX slowly opened his eyes and looked at all the stabs and cuts "im gonna die this time arn't i?" he croaked and he watched the black mass pour out of his body

"N-no. No, no no no no you're not. You're gonna be okay." Her voice was tense and frantic, and her gaze turned to Sora. "Sora- high potion- someone-!"

XX looked up at Nini "your... just... saying that" he said and then he fainted and was silent
Sora chucked her a high potion "thats all weve got left, it will heal him but he will have to be in bed for a long time"

"...Bedridden?" Incapacitated? That was a new one. "Okay." She quickly uncapped the bottle, splashing the contents over the Samurai and watching the lime-green liquid sink into the armor/skin. "Open your eyes..." She muttered, leaning over him.

XX was still for a moment, after a short while he opened his eyes "ouch" he groaned and then he slowly tried to get up

"Nuh-uh, no." Nini scolded, hently pushing 20 back down with a tired hand. "Not right now."

XX looked up at her "why? i want to get up, this floor is cold" he croaked as he stayed still

"I don't think it's gonna do you much good. It looks like you're still pretty weak." She said, her voice taking on a sympathetic tone.
