*The Shadow is nowhere to be seen, but... Something feels off.*

*Suddenly, a massive shape peels itself off the ground. Beady yellow eyes stare at the duo.*

Lion looks to Nelra for a moment, taking her comment into account. His face is scrunched in thought as he thinks about it for a moment. Lion then immediately responds with smugly. " Nah, I don't think so." He chuckles as he ruffles her hair a bit. Trying to lighten that grim mood a bit. 

However that mood would sour immediately as Lion would be greated with that same Miasmic smell once again. Looking to the center of the cul-de-sac, he watched as a ginormous creature rose from the ground. As each movemnt it made while crawling of the ground, memories poured into his mind. 

```R... E..M... E..B... E..R... Y...O... U..R...``` 
A small girl crying out in fear of being attack, Yellow beady eyes, a creature of the dark with a human like appearance. Strange ball like creatures, lanky ones and similar ones to what he saw earlier. Then three of these giants ones all appearing within his mind. Rage built up inside him, something he couldn't pinpoint as to why as he kept building and building till finall it reached the surface and exploded in a white hot memory. 

A woman, arms spead out being struck down by a similar creature.
In that moment the words spilled out in white hot anguish. Truly not knowing what was the deep cause other than sorrow.
```REMEMEBER... YOUR...```
"CURSED HEARTLESS!! THATS WHAT THESE ARE!! CREATURES OF THE DARK!! DAMNED FILTH!!!"

Lion stood there shaking in rage as he stared up at the creature. Not know what to do. Cornered... He pushed Nelra behind him...

Nelra pursed her lips as her hair was ruffled, her cheeks reddening as she huffed. Suddenly her expression would shift to panic and a chill ran up her spine as she felt the pool of darkness welled up behind her. Turning just in time to to see the behemoth of a monstrosity rise up to tower over them, her legs would quiver to the point it seemed they might give out under her.

She let out a shrill gasp as Lion pushed her behind him, her eyes flashing with further terror upon hearing the creature's name. "H-Heartless...?" Staring up at the monstrosity, she trembled as well but with fear rather than rage as she hugged Chirithy tightly for security.

*The giant Heartless stretches its neck in response to Lion's cries of anger, almost as though it's smug. It winds up, then slams its fist on the ground. A dark shockwave rushes at Lion, and Nelra behind him.*

``` You... Ne... E...D ....T... O r... Eme... Mbe... R....Y... Ou.R. ......```

Lion as he watched the Darkside reel back its fist, he felt a sudden surge in his chest, a pulse of power beyond what he had felt earlier. That's immediately when he knew what to do. Lion could jump over the shock wave however Nelra would be caught in the crossfire. So immediately he turns around and holds her tight as this was about to get a bit rough. 

"BARRIER!!!" Using ***Barrier 2***, on himself and then Nelra as the shockwave comes. Immediately as they're hit they barrier holds for a moment and then gets launched back with the attack to the wall and cracks apart as it collides with said wall. Keeping them from most of the harm. Lion gets up now standing tall against the Black Miasmic Beast. 
" Nelra if you can run. Go. I'll keep this thing at bay..." 

In his mind as he stood facing the Darkside, Lion knew he had no access to the many of the magics he knew prior. So it was time for a little bit of Improvisation. He combined what he at least knew of how Fire and Thunder magic worked, layered it, and rolled it. Meshing the two together as for as he could in his body. 
Sparks started flying around his right hand as little streaks of lighting can be seen forming as well, making crisp sounds as they did. 

" Damn... Losing those memories really seems to be taking it's toll on my body..." 

For a brief hard to catch moment. Blue azure lines ran up the sides of Lion's next, sparking with mana. As soon as it appeared however it vanished...

Suddenly Lion swings his right hand towards his left shoulder and then reels it back in an exaggerated fashion, swinging his arm back behind his back. 
In the wake of this Three red balls, of what seemed to be a form of plasma of some kind, formed about a few spaces apart from each other. . 

"SET!!!"

Lion immediately upon saying this, launched forward this attack by thrusting his right hand forward at a blinding speed.

"FIRE!!!!"

The Balls of Red Plasma turned into ***Triple Laser!*** And launched straight towards the Darkside's Head.
