*Upon being kicked into a lying position, he snorts and his eyes flutter open, revealing all-too familiar golden irises. They dart back and forth over Ina a few times, and his eyes widen in recognition.*

*He scrambles, trying to get up, then falls on his left arm. He frantically scooches away from Ina, then grabs a crag in the cliff wall, pulling himself up with it.*

*He stares at Ika's palette swap with the expression of a cornered animal. His hand is to his side, curled as though holding something. He doesn't have enough energy to call forth a weapon. Probably can't use any magic either. This is it. This is where he-*

*Wait. He should already be dead. Instead, Inaxuma woke him up and told him to go away. That seems off.*

*Not wanting to waste this gift horse, he nods curtly, then holds a gloved hand out to the side. He tries willing darkness into a Dark Corridor.*

*A measly strand of smoke reaches out from his wrist, then curls back inwards. He feels dizzy.*

"I can't make a portal. I'm too weak." *His eye contact with Ina falters as something glints in the distance. Through the narrow fissure, light is being reflected off of... Something.*

"What is this place?"
Susan
"Welcome to where keyblade wielders go to die."

*Inaxuma said sarcastically with a bow.*

"Many battles have been fought here; little have survived."

*He said returning from the bow. Inaxuma kept his eyes on Darkdo, maybe he would toy around with him some more.*

"Your pal might have told you about fighting a master of darkness here named Kiki, and a being of darkness named Vani."

*He tapped his temple while he spoke those lines, very tauntingly.*

"Its *Such a shame* You had to turn out just like us. Your buddy would hate to see the person you've become. Enjoying the darkness?"

*Ina said while a wide grin cracked across his face.*
Harold
*Kiki, Vani... Didn't he see those names in Jiminy's Journal? He'll have to reread it.*

*He snorts at Ina's taunting, unhurt by the mere words of an enemy.* "Not as much as you're enjoying the irony." 

*Based on his words, Inaxuma perceives him as an annoyance at worst, and a kindred spirit. While under normal circumstances, he'd be quick to remedy that, he knows full well the outcome. The best course of action is to play up his disdain for anyone associated with light.*

"The *Beacon of Hope* Never bothered filling me in on Keyblade history." *He rolls his eyes. There's some truth to that statement, but the hostility is forced.*

"Can't exactly go to the Tower to read up on it anymore, either. Care to give me a crash course?"
Susan
"That tracks. Mr. Goodie two shoes had a major flaw of not understanding his knowledge wasn't universal."

*He tapped the side of his head again.*

"I should know, I've got all his memories up in here now."

*Inaxuma sighed and rolled his shoulders.*

"Well, they say that an ancient war took place here. One between the forces of light and dark to control Kingdom Hearts. They wanted to control the key to unlock Kingdom Hearts, the X-Blade. For he who controls the X-Blade, controls Kingdom Hearts."

*His twisted grin returned to a neutral face.*

"However, in the war, the original X-Blade was shattered into twenty pieces. Now you have to forge it in several roundabout ways."
Harold
"The hell is a Kingdom Hearts?" *He begins pacing, an agitated look on his face.*

"I swear to fuck, ever since my fucking world died, it's been nothing but increasingly stupid jargon. Hearts are pink crystal souls, Heartless are Hearts less a body, Nobodies are heartless bodies, KEY SWORDS." *He cackles, and a manic look flashes in his eyes.* "Jiggle Ivers, Light! Darkness! Darkness within Darkness, Realm of Darkness! The *Original* Keyblade? Maleficent?!! Who the fuck names their kid Maleficent? Who the fuck names *Themselves* Maleficent? Ha-HA, I'm so EVIL and EDGY! I'm gonna kill everyone for no reason! Sure do hope no heroes try and stop me!!"

*He turns to the cliff and headbutts it. A trickle of blood begins gently rolling down his face.*

"This is all so fucking *Stupid*!" *He grits his teeth, stopping himself from ranting further about how pointless and asanine the idea of sinking worlds to darkness is on its face. While aware of the entertainment value of a good rant, he's also aware how easily directing one at someone can piss them off.*
Susan
"GOD YOURE SO ANNYOING."

*Inaxuma said as his right arm crackled with black lightning, shooting off a dark thundaga past Darkdo. He then sighed and put a hand on his forehead, muttering under his breath.*

*"I'm starting to think Ikazuchi was insane for thinking of you as one of his most trusted friends..."*

*Inaxuma shook his head.*

"Sounds like you've got your own problems to solve, eh? How 'bout you just crawl back to Toy Box now that you can live there in the darkness. This world is already taken."

*He no longer wished for Darkdo's company. It turned annoying for him very quickly. He was right at his initial judgement that this world was only big enough for one brooding being of darkness with a bad handle on their emotional trauma.*
Harold
*He scowls in Inaxuma's direction as the raven-haired boy lashes back out at him. Dark smoke seeps from his eyes, ears, nose, corners of his mouth, and the small gash on his forehead. It curls around him, forming the shape of a Dark Corridor, but to no avail.*

*He squints and focuses harder. He feels shaky, like he hasn't eaten in days. For a brief moment, the cliff face is slightly visible through the boy's head.*

*He gasps, catching his fall on the wall, and the dark smoke flies back into his orifices. Holy fuck, that was painful. His scowl vanishes.*

"I. Can't." *He pants out, then takes a moment to catch his breath.*

"Look, I'm sorry for ranting at you. You didn't deserve that; you were being helpful. I'll leave as soon as I regain some strength, promise."

"You said this was a battleground, right? I'm gonna go fuck off, maybe find an interesting crater to stare at." *He turns around and starts walking while rifling through his coat pockets. Finding what he's looking for, he turns his head back towards Ina.*

"Heads up." *He gently tosses a water bottle in his direction.*

"Hydration's important." *He turns his head away from him, immediately regretting this course of action. Inaxuma's an enemy. He's destroyed worlds. Playing up his darkness is one thing, but offering him water? Ugh.*

*Whatever. He takes out another bottle of water and begins drinking while he walks away.*
