*The blast of luminous energy blinded Brad, but what he wasn't prepared for what followed. In an instant, his strength vanished. All the weight bearing down on Dado's Keyblade, evaporated with a snap. The return fire barely glanzed off him, but he was so mollified that it forced him back a step. Then a second, before he finally fell to a knee, burying the tip of Light Year in the stone beneath them.*

*Brad took a moment just to pant and wheeze, absolutely soaked in sweat. His grip on Light Year was so tight, his knuckles turned white. He hadn't been defeated. But he was sore, shocked, and bruised. And this guy... This guy wasn't even breathing heavy! He couldn't believe it, but he felt, well, alive.*

"Haaa, haaah, thanks..." *Brad's eyes turned upward towards his opponent. He dug around in his pouch, retrieving a bottle of Moogle Muscle- his favorite protein drink, and taking a deep swig of the cherry-flavored gunk.* "Phew. Y-yer, uh, yer somethin' special. I'll be real, I didn't think people could *Get* As strong as you." *Brad gestured, finally standing up.*

"I mean, ya haven't even broken a sweat yet!" *He said.* "This ain't no draw. In a real fight, ya woulda had my head! In spite o' bein' so skinny, ya got some real meat on ya, eh?" *Brad clasped Dado's shoulder, giving him a squeeze.* "I'm sure the Heartless're plum terrified o' someone like ya."

*Dado smiles and dematerializes his Keyblade. Brad reminds him of the truckers from back home. Big and intimidating, but friendly as all hell.*

"Hah, yeah. There's this one Heartless that just... Appears, sometimes? Every time I go to kill it, it fucks off through a dark portal."

"I'm not even the strongest person I know, honestly. There's Ika, who's just a general badass. There's Xion, who has crazy mastery over magic. There's Master Mod, who can confiscate people's Keyblades." 

*He frowns a moment, then continues.* "There's also this one bitch, Sunset. Supposedly, she's singlehandedly destroyed worlds. Master Mod gave her a second chance, but... If you see her, be on guard. And if she so much as mentions 'Maleficent' in a good light, call for backup."

*He glances at Brad's pouch.* "Say, got any water or Electrolade in there? I could use a drink, honestly."

"Be on guard fer some bitch named Sunset? And 'Mally Fishin?' Heard." *These names were a lot of word salad to him. But the fact that there were... More people as strong as him? No, there were people **Stronger** Than this kid? Sure, he could conceptualize the idea of some supremely powerful foes. But seeing just how far out of his depth he was was positively nauseating. Nauseating in an awesome way, like he absolutely couldn't wait to fight some of these people. Especially that Master person... Maybe he was lucky he didn't have a Keyblade.*

*Something tingled at the back of his mind, but he ignored it.*

"Ah, 'ere!" *Brad tossed him two bottles- an Electrolade and a water, as requested.* "We gotta get ya some protein, though. If ya wanna get stronger than those guys, well, gettin' stronger's basically all I do! We'll get ya a good workout regimen. Would ya believe I only started fightin' like this a month ago?" *He flexed a bulging bicep and flashed a toothy grin- and then froze.* "Uh! Since my world fell, or somethin' like that. I was, uh, way weaker then. Yeah."

*He quickly tried to push his misstep aside.* "I-I don' think I got yer name by the way. An' I can't keep callin' ya lil tyke, can I?"

"My world died last month, too. I tried to save it, failed. Tried to save one kid, failed. Best I could do for him was a mercy kill."

"At that point, I was just some guy. Since then, I've trained like hell. Mostly magic, but it pays to have a strong guard, too. Now I'm just some guy with a half-decent idea what I'm doing."

"Normally, I'd be inclined to introduce myself to royalty as Daedalus, but... You don't seem that type." *He smiles.* "Call me Dado."
