*Dado arrives back in the Mirage Arena. He materializes Kingdom Key and stances up.*

"Any new enemies for me?"
Elizabeth
*"Shadow, Soldier, Large Body, Air Soldier, Toy Soldier"*
Edna
"I haven't practiced aerial combat much since getting Metroided. Let's go with Air Soldiers and Toy Soldiers."

*A cloud of pixilated Heartless appears around him, strafing through the air. Some Air Soldiers immediately divebomb him from all sides, shown as flashing dots on the minimap in the corner of his vision.*

*He spins in a circle, Keyblade outstretched, and blocks the simulated attacks. The Air Soldiers are sent into hitstun.*

"C'mon, don't just have them divebomb me. That incentivizes me staying on the ground! This is air training!"

*The Heartless all freeze in place, then reset to their original positions.*
Elizabeth
*"Fine. The floor is lava, interactions start when you leave the ground."*
Edna
*That's more like it. He jumps up, then lets the Heartless attack first again.*

*Immediately, Heartless dive at him once more. He tries twisting midair to intercept their strikes, but to no avail. Several attacks connect, and the AR simulations freeze, then disintegrate.*

"What was that for?"
Elizabeth
*"You took damage. You lose."*
Edna
"Seriously?" *He falls back to the ground.* "You're just gonna reset if I even get hit once?"

"But that's unrealistic! In battle, you take damage and keep going!"
Elizabeth
*"You already do that well enough, Dado. You need to practice not getting hit."*
Edna
*He groans.* "Fine. Start it up again."

*The simulation starts back up. He jumps off the ground, then throws up a barrier to intercept the dive attack. He jumps off the inside of the barrier, shattering it as he flies further up, then swings Kingdom Key downwards. Lightning arcs from the tip, cutting through the mob.*

*Some Toy Soldiers begin shooting at Dado. He dashes through the air, leaving behind a Mirage to take the hits, then begins gliding around, weaving between their shots.*

*As he glides over the mob, something clicks in his Heart. His hair glows green, and orbs of light materialize around him. They rain down onto the Heartless, falling through them and exploding on contact with the floor.*

*Keeping up his flow, he manifests Ever After. The tower curves, and the hair connects the two ends of it, forming a bow. He fires shot after shot at Heartless.*

*As some Air Soldiers approach, he switches back to Kingdom Key, then flies between Heartless, slamming his Keyblade through them sequentially, enveloped in an ice storm.*

*His fighting is automatic. He doesn't even notice when Thina pops text up in his vision. He only lands after the enemies have all been defeated.*

*He stumbled forward, dazed. What __was__ that?*
Elizabeth
*Thina's voice plays from his phone.*

"Dado? Are you okay?"
Edna
"I... I'm not sure what happened. It's like I was on autopilot, but... Also im the passenger seat?"
Elizabeth
"Your combat resembled Fiora's. You're not feeling despair-y, are you?"
Edna
"What?" *Dado looks concerned.*

"I mean... I feel fine. Do you think this is because of her light?"
Elizabeth
"Possibly. I've sent a report to Cid and Aerith. You should get some rest."
Edna
"Yeah..." *Dado sighs, then slumps.* "Beam me up."
