"Yes, it is thanks to this Heartless' memories I can use them quite well. Though learning new weapons is always just fun." 

Pira would say and now be forced on the defensive, seeing her Darkga be evaded easily by Icidro. She would be forced to evade out of the way of the Fire Dash, getting hit with the backdrop of the flames. She was going to go attack at the seemingly downed enemy only to see the knight jump skywards and crash into her like a rocket! She had just enough time to move her Keyblade into the way to stop taking the brunt force of the damage. What came next was her parrying the string of basic attacks with her own strikes, taking more damage then the last dance they had. 

"Me? No... Allow me to set the stage for this dance better, it's too bright for my liking~"

The Heartless would take a step back and twirl her Keyblade, couching it under her arm and clapping her hands together. Vile, ancient darkness would spread from her and extend outwards, infecting everything that it touched. The fire in the arena would change from red to an eerie shade of purple, losing the light that fire would normally generated. The oppressive force of the darkness filling the area would weigh down on everyone, making it harder to move around and empowering her darkness. With her newfound power, she would go back onto the offensive and went back to attacking Icidro. Stronger darkness swirled around her Keyblade as she went in for a heavy slash across his chest. 

Her other attacks against Sapphire and Brad were both stopped by Icidro, annoyingly enough, making him the focus of her next attack. She rebounded off the block and got ready to attack him but Brad's actions got in the way. Raising her sword up, she was forced to block it and taking some damage from the surprise nature of the hit. She then went on the offensive, slashing against the Berserker Sweep and taking some more damage from the clashes from the following moves as well. Once they were over, she would beg

Furo stumbled backwards as he threw water into the air upon landing. This was way worse than he expected and he *Definitely* Felt like there was information lacking on the dungeon's guard dog. 

He still felt like he was falling short of everyone despite carefully countering the attacks sent their way. Never before was he unsure on relying on his magic, but Puke ignoring it before was living rent free in his mind. He needed to focus up, he needed to... MOVE!

Leaping back he quickly grabbed Sapphire at her waist and leapt once more behind Brad gently setting the woman down before rattling out everything racing through his head in sizable chunks. He could only get out very few words that comprised the best way to deal with the darkness enveloping them, but he trusted his friends to know what to do.

"Dark Rings!" Having already used his own, he should ensured everyone was protected to begin with.

"Brad, big boy defense!" Furo needed to conceded that Brad was a better shield in this instance. He had always been barely mimicking the jovial man.

"Sapphire, support please!" He knew she wanted to be more front and center in times like these, but he hoped she would heed his warning in this moment.

This moment may have seen bleak, bleak and dangerous, but they would get through this.

They could weather this attack.

They were the Storm Riders after all.

Just another Tuesday.

After being snatched away by Furo, Sapphire gripped her head as the darkness she was using began to envelope her body her once blue outfit now staining purple as her eyes began to take on yellow hues the darkness in her heart now taking hold of her threatening to consume her. "Such intense darkness... But I won't let it win I'll show this girl my own darkness..."

 While keeping her sanity as intact as she could she put the dark ring on boosting her defenses. She kept repeating several phrases in her mind as she stood holding her head still. She placed her free hand on Brad casting a protect spell as she trudged ahead pulling out her wayfinder.

With the magic swirling around her she casted Hastaga onto Icidro as the wayfinder shattered into her hand. She then pulled out a small like gem that glowed softly summoning a hero of a distant time granting her increased magic strength. 

Putting her book away she pulled out her rapier as anger and hatred glowed in her eyes she felt a strong surge of magic energy take form in her. Several dark orbs surrounded her as she held her rapier up in the air for a moment channeling each orb. 

Once she felt herself getting exhausted from channeling her magic she plunged the rapier into the ground as each orb fired towards Pira's darkness deflecting as much she could of the attack.
