"I'm pretty sure we should throw this so that way Blair doesn't get last." Cyprian mused as he shifted into an offensive stance and split Metzenbaum, whirling around and slicing many of the nearby heartless into pieces. "Last time I let her cook, I was bedridden for a week."

"I would like to point out that the event in question happened ten years ago, and that I didn't get sick from my cooking. On the other hand, you should know that Cyprian insisted that the mushrooms he picked were safe to eat. I didn't touch them, so he ate them all himself," Blair said as she launched into the air, and threw her lance in the center of a group of Soldier heartless, using a bit of magic to create a shockwave.

"You, uh, well, your hair smells bad!" Cyprian shouted, unable to think of a good reply as he lowered his weapon slightly as he casted Deprotega on a the surrounding group.

"What?! You know I like to cook and fight, why are you trying to ruin my fun?!" Now slightly irritated, the Priestess turns her attention away from caring for the Berserkers and joins them, ravaging a Zip Slasher by knocking it off balance and letting loose with a flurry of one-handed swings, punches, and kicks. After bisecting it, she looks back to the two Nobodies, smirking at their story. "Well, even if it was his fault, I still don't think I'd trust you if you really haven't been allowed to cook for ten years!"

"Well, ten years for her, but not even one for me!" Cyprian shouted back as he countered a strike from a Fat Bandit, knocking it back into a cluster of other heartless as he continued to strike back at the smaller ones around him.

"When I was stranded on Pulse alone after Cyprian decided to take a nap that lasted for a couple of years, I did cook for myself," Blair says while glaring at Naria.

"How many times did you burn your Chocobo steak?" Cyprian asked as he picked up a Soldier and tossed it Blair's way.

"Fewer times than you did. That's what matters, right?"
The fact that I'm insulting your cooking really makes me question why I'm not throwing the competition myself. Then again, that would make things too boring, now wouldn't it?
Blair used her lance to toss a few Shadows and another Soldier into the air with the one Cyprian had tossed her way, before finishing them off with a spell.
"Thundaga!"

"It still pisses me off how you can do that without a brand." Cyprian answered as he split Metsenbaum in order to skewer a Jumbo Cannon, directing its fire into a crowd of Soldiers led by a Sergeant.

"You wish you could still feel mad at me. But it's only a dream. So stop living in the past, and stop letting yourself be controlled by the memories of emotions!" she called back to Cyprian, suddenly very disturbed by his little ourburst.

"What's left anyways?" Cyprian rolled his eyes as he proceeded to rip the Jumbo Cannon in two. "Here's a question: Why do we call them Heartless when they are only hearts, and we're Nobodies when we're the ones that actually have them?"

Moran was tossed hard into the fountain, splashing water all over the cobblestone. He sprung to his feet and glances at the Aegis Shield on his left arm.
Foolish me. This is for magic.
He swapped it out for an Adamant one, only to notice the Reverse Armor gaining on him rapidly. Looking around, he saw that the area was abandoned, as he had hoped, save for a Moogle salesman who seemed to be taking a nap. Its unconsciousness was indicated by a peaceful little bubble emerging from its nose.
"Watch it Kupo!"
He swapped again for a Fuma Shuriken and tossed it at Moogle, popping the bubble and giving it a rude awakening. It hit the ground and squeaked, opened its eyes and saw the oncoming storm of metal, squeaked louder, and ran. Unfortunately the job change to Ninja left Moran open, and he was swiftly kicked hard into a wall by the Armour that was upon him. He hit the ground in a heap, but scrambled to his feet, changing back to Knight to cover himself with a Shield.
Alarms rung in his head, prompting him to tap into some of his limited magic reserves. A White Wind blew through the plaza, but it restored barely half his health. Seeing no choice, he banished his weapon and took a martial stance, in the process loosening the belt keeping his robe tight.
"Limit Break Kupo! It's Morphing Time!"
He jumped into the air to dodge the full body tackle the Armor had in mind for him. A bright flash shone from his body, and when he hit the ground, Moran had six arms, each with a legendary sword in hand. It was something he had picked up from a friend.
With a battle cry, he leapt at the armor, each limb striking or blocking a target. The Armor's floating feet-for-hands were sent spinning away as he jumped off of the main body in pursuit. The hands-for-feet were still in place, so he struck them like hockey pucks, smashing them into one of the separated feet-for-hands. His leap off the body brought him upon the three collided limbs, and a swift flurry of strikes caused them to dissipate for good. He chucked six sword-raids at the final foot-for hand, banishing that one too. The weapons returned to him, but he recalled them seeing the Armor charge him in some kind of spinning desperation attack. He dug his feet in and held out his arms, catching the Heartless in four and grabbing the still-present head in two. Twisting to separate them, he slammed the head into the ground, before shouting a fierce kiai and suplexing the body down hard on top of it. A hard crunch resonated in the Heartless's hollow body before it dissipated entirely.
Moran exhaled a sigh of relief before sitting. His extra limbs quickly snaking their way back into the shape of his normal body. He wiped the sweat off his brow and took a moment to collect himself, watching the heart that once composed the Heartless float off into the sky.
"...here you go Kupo."
The shopkeeper Moogle from earlier had returned. It held out a Hi-potion.
"Thank you kupo, but I don't have any gil on me."
"This one's on the house kupo. Thanks for saving me."
Moran smiled and nodded, taking the potion.
"In that case, might you have some bacon? I get the feeling I'll have to cook breakfast today kupo. My score is like...five."

"Come and get me, ya bastards! Tear ya limb from limb!" Ducking between several Soldiers, Naria charges towards the midst of what remains of the crowd. The Heartless turn to her, swiping as she runs by, and she stops upon approaching two more Zip Slashers. They focus on attacking her instead of defending themselves from her blade, and she's able to hit them harder and more easily than she would otherwise be able to. This knocks them off-balance and she's able to significantly weaken them before being forced to address the surrounding Shadows, Soldiers, and other Heartless.
Several of them strike the viking, but she retaliates several-fold. "Is that all ya got?!" A Morning Star approaches as she trades blows with the surrounding crowd, swiping at one of her sides while another attacks her. Naria tears through the crowd of weak Heartless with ease now that they're provoked and hit with Deprotega, but she's being worn down. The Morning Star, also provoked, recklessly rolls towards her, crushing several of its comrades.
Noticing it, the viking dons a s***-eating grin and lodges her Keyblade's edge into a Zip Slasher, ramming into the balled-up juggernaut to work to stop it. The Heartless's charge is slowed, but not stopped, and the Priestess is sent flying backwards. The Zip Slasher has already disappeared, defeated, and Naria stands back up quickly to address the threat that looms forward yet again. "Ow, damn. Is he picking up more speed?" Though the blonde is focused solely on the Morning Star, the rest of the Heartless she had been previously dealing with had not forgotten her, and were closing in as well, thirsty for the kill.

"Naria, heads up! There's heartless behind you." Blair yelled to alert the other young of woman of the danger she was in.
She can handle the Morning Star, but she needs someone to watch her back. Cyprian is too lazy to help, so I guess that leaves me!
Blair launched into the air again, landing in between Naria and the heartless that had gathered while she was distracted by the Morning Star. After taking a moment to cast Protect on them both, Blair began to take out the heartless, leaving Naria to continue her fight. "I've got your back, so you focus on that Morning Star."

"Pulse to Blair, requesting communication!" Cyprian yelled at her as he continued his whirlwind assault with the various heartless.

"Thanks, darling." Smiling again, Naria casts Cure on herself and charges forward. She meets the Morning Star head-on, using her weapon as a shield, and the two bounce off of each other. The Morning Star unrolls itself from its balled form, and Naria takes advantage, punishing it, ending with an overhead smack into its conical hat. The Heartless stumbles backwards and swings at her with one of its arms.
"Mini!" The Morning Star's hand hits nothing but air, and the rotund creature stews in its anger for a few moments, contemplating where its target might have gone. "Aero!" A tiny voice, high-pitched and difficult to hear, shouts out, and a gale knocks into the Heartless from behind, knocking it off balance again. "Mini!" Growing back to a normal, and more importantly noticeable, size, Naria laughs and slams her axe down into the Morning Star's back repeatedly. After splitting the armor in several places, the Morning Star dissipates. "Woohoo! Who's next?!" Looking around, the viking notices how thin the crowd has become, only ten or so surrounding Blair and Cyprian each. "Too bad. Who to help though? Mister lazy, or Miss deserves-it?"

"This is Pulse speaking." He remarked as he trampled a couple of heartless as he flip-jumped over Blair and pinched her cheeks.

The viking giggles as Cyprian squeezes Blair's cheeks. "How cute of them. Can't let those beasts interrupt them." She charges forward and swipes at the Heartless nearby them. "Hey, you little brats! Focus on someone who has the time for your sorry asses!" She may be tired, but Naria is always ready to taunt her foes.

Moran casually made his way back to the Empty House, grocery bags in his right hand, to see that Cyprian had joined Blair and Naria and they were finishing the mob off.
"Good news," he called out, "I found Bacon!"
It was then that something swiped at him out of the blue, gashing him and leaving a claw mark in his robes. He grunted, but heard footsteps apparently heading the way opposite he was.
Stealth Soldier. Retreating? Heartless don't have the tactics...unless...!
"Catch!" Moran lobbed the bags to the trio and then dashed back the other way.
