(Wait, how many do you have? I counted one each for the boy and girl and just thought the boy could use Syxac's if he needed to.) Nick dove and rolled forward, launching a volley of shadowy, icicles as he rose. For good measure, another snowman dropped onto the boy.

((I thought she was in front of me. Did her foot curve all the way around )) "How nice," Nick said, patting the back of his head. "You'll just love this." The ice that had lapsed around the keyblade grew heavier and heavier until it was utterly unusable. "I know you guys seem to have a predilection for melting things, so I'll have you know that dense ice is laced with pure darkness, which can only be countered by pure light, so they say. Seeing how your friend over there corrupted both your hearts with darkness, you're going to be without a second weapon for a while." Nick chuckled, "And if you honestly share your keyblades like that, then one of you is going to have to go without one for a bit, it seems."

"No," Nick responded, trying not to show pain, as the keyblade left a shadowy gash in his shoulder. "You're awfully close. I think you need to cool down." Ice arked out of the wound, around the keyblade and towards the girl.

"No. Go on." Nick peered off the edge of the platform lazily and waited.

"Go for it, seems I have time."

Nick hopped back. "Forget to look up?" The snowman landed on the boy, stunning him long enough for Nick to get a clear look at the newcomer (Sorry for controlling your character a bit). "Syxac? ...Fascinating...." Nick replaced his interested tone with one of sarcasm, "You're really taking the split heart thing to the next level, aren't you?" "Tell me the boy's name, and I might grace you with mine."

"What? You think it's over?" Nick teased, while rounding up for another physical attack. With that, the snowman fell from above, directly over the boy.

Nick seized the distraction as a chance to strike, "Block this!" A barrage of icicles fell from above over the boy, and Nick landed a small distance away, sprinting at his opponent before the falling spikes even hit.

"What are you talking about?" The object the boy struct was merely a motionless, identical ice sculpture of Nick (See a few pages back - be wary whenever I stop moving). I wasn't expecting an attack from behind, but this will work either way. "Give up, already." Nick was no where to be seen.

Nick let the Blizzaga wash over him. That was refreshing. He patiently waited for a opening to strike in the boy's rage-filled technique.

He thinks he can melt all his problems away... Nick ducked under the first swing at his neck and than jumped far back, shooting rather pointy ice shards in mid-air.

Nick feigned shock, "But... what about the snowman?" He gestured around him, as the boy charged, "And you do realize snow melts into water?" The twisters of snow fell and crashed against the surface of the platform dissipating into liquid. He carefully stepped out of the splash zone, in attempt not to get wet, pretending that was his greatest concern. "Water freezes." All the puddles in front of his challenger suddenly turned to slick, slippery ice.

"Hmpth," Nick chuckled, "A bit conflicted, are we?" The snow had little effect on the massive, dark creature, but Nick hardly cared, easily stepping out of the way whenever one of the giant black fists came down in attempt to smash him. "Here, play with this, boy," Nick gestured to a rather sinister looking snowman, he had just created, and was slowly trudging towards the multiple personality disorder child.

I reached a dead end, and Sora was on my tail. Is this it? Am I going to die at the hands of some overly enthusiastic, little kid video game character? He raised his keyblade, and I pressed my back to the wall. And then I passed through it. There was a blur of shadows, and I found myself on the ground at the doorstep of Castle Oblivion. Was that a Corridor of Darkness? Is this Castle Oblivion? I scratched his chin in thought, If I enter, will I have to forfeit all my abilities for cards and whatnot? Meh, doesn't matter; I hardly have any powers, and I doubt I'll even have to. I ventured through the front door in search of anyone who could... well... explain.

Nick leaped high over the fiery projectile and disappeared with a flash. A moment later snow began tumbling down from unknown sources, and Nick landed behind his opponent, not even bothering to turn around. "I wonder if it's ever been cold in here before," he stated frankly, while organizing the snow into twisters that crackled with dark energy and had razor like edges. Nick smiled under his hood as he sensed something else. "What's that? Darkness in your heart? It may be small, but it will still allow me to open a few portals." Heartless began climb up the side of the platform. "I suppose you've realized by now that I actually have a certain hatred for warriors of the light. Too bad no one will find out because you're not leaving here."

And they tried to make me play basketball...

Why do people insist on teleporting me everywhere? Nick thought, as he casually strolled around the platform. "And what do you think you're going to to next? Defeat me and aid the darkness in destroying this world?"

Nick was in the middle of telling Tom that he was the true wielder of darkness, when the energy hit him. He pondered how the mere teenager could have gathered such power, while flying back off the side of the building. Well, this isn't going as smoothly as expected. A corridor of darkness formed over the ground, just before Nick made the would-be-fatal impact, transporting him back to the battlefield. "Don't you see their dark powers? They're the true enemy!"

((I just recovered after "defeating" Flame and have now moved on to Sion/Zion and her teenage friend.)) Nick turned towards Raynd, "Incorrect. These two want to shatter the light, and we can't let that happen."

As the teenager charged him, Nick feinted to the side while directing snow into his face. The combination did enough to get Nick behind the boy, from where he grabbed his shoulder. "Taste winter," he muttered darkly. Ice began to curl around the boy's ankles from the ground and lapse around his upper chest from Nick's gloved hand. "What are you two doing!?" He shouted at the strangely dressed men, "Help!"

Nick turned towards Raynd and the two oddly dressed men. "See their aggression fueled by shadows? The winged one has even summoned a minion, probably a Heartless." He gestured to the newcomer who had just popped in through a portal. "They're the enemies of light. Do not listen to their word. The only thing left to do is strike." The blizzard picked up, the snowflakes literally shocking anything they touched with darkness (Sione/Zion should probably stop flying ^_^ ). "Look at what she's doing! Don't worry, I'll take the newcomer." Icy patches spread out from Nick's feet, travelling over the concrete towards the young ally of Sion/Zion.

"Hear that? She's absolutely mad!" Nick grinned under his hood. "She thinks she's two bloody people and just threatened to release her complete darkness!" He took a step back, feigning caution. "You have no light left; the shadows corrupted it and twisted your mind. All that's left is a vessel for the darkness that needs to be removed."

"Hm? Oh, of course." Nick gestured with urgency. "That creature of darkness will kill us all soon if we don't do anything." He adopted a combat stance towards Sione/Zion. "I can't take her alone!"

Nick chuckled. "Isn't it not safe to fly in a blizzard?" The wind picked up, carrying snow crackling with darkness. He turned towards the warriors. "Look at her, squandering around in her own darkness. It would be best to end this threat to the Realm of Light here and now." Nick gestured to the darker half of Zion/Sione's keyblade and the shadowy flurry around her. "Come, we'll finish her together."
