Enter Discord [Active/Closed-YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE IN THE CROSSFIRE]

Character(s): Vanitas and Joshua
Content: God and darkness incarnate. This should end well.
Setting: the Elysian Fields
Time: Week 31, evening.
Warnings: Likely a WHOLE LOT OF EPIC VIOLENCE, MONSTER SHOWDOWNS, AND SHINEY POWERS. Several acres of the fields will be utterly destroyed for some time.

White grasses did not dim with the setting of the sun. Their blue radiance remained as if to remind the world of the sun's glow until morning came again. Its inhabitants matched well, glowing themselves. Tiny light particles floated down with tranquil slowness, affected slightly by the soft breeze that caressed the area. The area was eerie but serenely beautiful.

And far too bright.

Lumens across several acres lifted their heads, revealing their hiding spots before baring their teeth or setting back their ears. With little hesitation they dashed forward, closing in on one target. Through their fields and amongst his own self-made conflagration strolled a boy in a mask. The glowing grass withered and burned, contorting itself into dark dust and charcoal. The lights in the air were invaded by black ash. Attacking lumens were quickly dispatched, their light evaporating into the coming night. The silence had been shattered, and peace had been dethroned for chaos.

And it was all done with a casual effortlessness.

Joshua had been exploring the fields for an entirely different reason. It seemed, from what he's observed and heard from others, that darkness and light were more tangible than he was used to. Which was an interesting concept to be sure, especially when taking some of his own things into account, so he'd been doing a little research. Apparently it was ill-advised to search for the darkness (not that he cared), and it was also a little harder to find. So his first stop was into the fields, were the 'light' was a bit more obvious.

He'd been looking around and honestly hadn't seen much before he spotted what appeared to be quite a bit of destruction. Well, there's the darkness he was looking for, apparently. Never one to just ignore an opportunity when he saw one, Joshua wasted no time in getting the masked boy's attention.

"Well, don't you look all dark and foreboding," he chimed with a girlish giggle, pushing his hair back, "Destroying poor innocent plant life, tsk tsk. I'm sure someone's not going to be very happy with you."

Vanitas righted himself and turned to the newcomer. With the grass burned, the only things between the two were embers and ashes.

"So what. You can't please everyone." He hesitated a moment, taking note of something. By the time he'd fought Ventus the last time in the Keyblade Graveyard, he'd had gained some skill in sensing light and darkness in his environment. Noticing the light practically dripping from him, Vanitas began to approach. A confident swagger could be seen in his stride.

"This ain't a spectator sport. Though something tells me you're a special little Princess."

Not far away, but within sight, a few Unversed stand over Lumens fading into sparks of light. They are one of many.

Oh, this one was cocky. That was always dangerous- for whoever the poor soul was, anyway. Joshua smirked as the boy walked closer. He could get a sense of the other as well, though his wasn't in the sense of 'light' or 'dark.' That meant next to nothing for him, anyway, and the boy's attire screamed 'dark' well enough on its own. No, he sensed in terms of Imagination- the raw power used in the Game. However, apparently it didn't transfer as well across dimensions as he would have hoped. This boy was powerful, certainly, though it was a different... type of power. If Joshua had to venture a guess, he'd say the power belonged to the 'darkness,' not the boy.

But it was surprisingly hard to tell the difference between the two. Interesting. This was going to be fun.

"Oh, but I was so enjoying watching," he said, standing his ground and sarcasm dripping from his voice, "I mean, really, setting grass on fire? Could you possibly get any less creative?" It was pretty lame, as far as destruction went. Joshua could think of so many more interesting ways to destroy things.

"Really. You love watching but you think it's not creative." Vanitas's voice had and equal dose of sarcasm. "Aren't you boring." This could be fun.

"Like I was here to be creative," he shrugged, gesturing with his Keyblade. "This is just to pass the time."

Behind the masked boy, a good distance off, a large, feline-like creature sprung from the grass, running full-tilt and spreading its wings. The white creature lunged, half in flight, with teeth beared and claws unsheathed at Vanitas.

(There was the faintest flicker of emotion, but it was pure hatred.)

Several small Floods zipped through the air, sending the Lumen to the ground. The three made short work of the creature, letting it languish into light.

"What about you. There are monsters in these fields." Like me. "You must have a death wish."

The Unversed eyed the light-haired youth. Their small movements were as quick and fleeting as a bird's.

"Mm, maybe a bit," he replied, still perfectly cheerful, "But I find observation is a wonderful way to learn, don't you?"

He watched impassively as the Lumen was torn apart, and his only response to the Unversed was a snort when Vanitas called them 'monsters.' Please, they seemed to be about the same level as Noise. Hardly anything to worry about it. Still, the boy had included himself in the batch of monsters, which, while more accurate, led to some questions. He smiled with an obviously false and rather mocking sweetness. "Oh, but don't we all?" he replied, a playful lilt to his voice now, "Living itself is having a death wish." Alright, so he was technically already dead. But many people would say he had a death wish anyway.

"Sorry, Girlie, school's not in session." What, did I get some dumb little duckling wanting to tag along?

"Oh great, a wannabe philosopher trying to be deep. Whatever," he shrugged. "But. Since you just pleaded guilty..."

Vanitas raised his Keyblade over his head, and a bright white glow appeared at the tip. Was it light? But where there is light, there is darkness, and the darkness made itself quickly known. At the tip, forcing the light that surrounded it back formed an orb of intense dark energy made of swirling purple, blue and black. The immediate air around it shimmered with heat.

And with a sudden, split second move he aimed it straight for the newcomer, shooting it off with the speed of a canon and enough force to have a notable kickback. "...WISH GRANTED!"

Goodness, he wasn't very clever, was he? Well, that could hardly be fixed, but Joshua could certainly teach him a lesson.

Joshua watched, impassively, as the light and the darkness grew. Well, at least he had an idea of how light and darkness actually worked. He just stood there, during the boy's rather dramatic presentation. So little finesse. Well, for all Joshua knew it might have been extraordinary in his world, but to Joshua it was just outlandish and a waste of energy.

A nice thing about having powers to reign in the dead of an entire city meant that a little boy like this could hardly phase him. The 'teen' smirked, simply shifting himself out of the way. To Vanitas, it probably appeared as if he hadn't moved at all. "Oh, you're quick, aren't you?" he said playfully, "Not fast enough, apparently. Still, I suppose I can play with you for a little while. Sound be fun~"

He actually moved. Not totally worthless, then. There was no doubt that the other must have dodged. Vanitas was trained far too well to have simply missed. Considering the amount of time it took to power up that attack, he would have thought less of his opponent than he did of Ventus if he hadn't gotten out of the way. Even Ventus was on the ground at the time. A sitting duck.

Vanitas unleashed a malevolent chuckle. Maybe this isn't a waste of my time, then.

"I don't play well with others." Vanitas took up a readied stance, waiting to see if this light-oozing kid had any surprises. He motioned with his fingers. "What're you so afraid of?"

Joshua sighed dramatically, pulling his phone out of his pocket and flipping it open, looking like the epitome of boredom- though really, he was more looking for the powers invested in his phone. "I'm afraid this is going to be a terribly dull fight, if you just keep standing there talking at me. Do at least try, won't you? I wouldn't have liked to have wasted my time."

Without any sort of flourish or even much of an indication that he was doing anything, Joshua summoned his very entry-level powers. No reason to go full strength on this one, after all. Large objects starting falling around Vanitas, cars, bikes, vending machines. Their intent was to crush him, but if they missed they would vanish moments later.

Vanitas turned his head ever-so slightly as random objects began falling. Huh. "Don't care about your time."

Those words came just a second before a car crashed, nose-first, right in front of Vanitas and hiding him from view ever so briefly. That is, until it fell backwards onto where Vanitas was standing. There was a brief silence as the totaled car simply laid there upside-down.

The fender clattered to the ground.

And just as suddenly, a cloud of dark energy shot out from underneath the vehicle right at the other, sliding along the ground as smooth as a snake and as fast as a shark.

Joshua, in all honesty, hadn't expected the falling objects to do much damage. It was, by far, the most tame of his abilities. Still, if he could use as little power as possible to pull out this boy's moves, that would be nice.

That cloud of darkness wasn't very impressive, but it seemed like this boy was at least trying (which was more than Joshua could be saying- he hadn't done anything even mildly draining yet) so he had a couple of options. He could dodge, or he could put up an invisible wall that Vanitas would undoubtedly run in to- it wasn't a normal wall, after all. He could also do both, but there was no need for overkill. An unbreakable wall of Soul would work just fine.

Fact was, they hadn't actually done any damage. Vanitas had acted as soon as the car started tilting towards him. Regardless, the ability was intriguing as much as it was laughable. Kid watches too many cartoons.

The cloud continued to shoot forward, but when it hit the wall, it didn't slow down. Nice trick. Instead, it followed the contour of the wall, trying to find a way in. A single gap...

(Alright, the bit about cartoons Joshua would give him- it got very boring in the UG when there wasn't a Game running, he needed something to do.)

Joshua snorted quietly to himself, playing with his phone and not even looking at the cloud of darkness. Trying to find a hole wouldn't work, and the wall itself seemed endless- reaching out to the edges of the field and as high as the clouds. It was something designed to stop people from getting through, and it was very good at doing that. Still, Joshua supposed he could up his own offense a little bit.

The boy behind the wall began levitating slightly off the ground behind the wall, arms out to his sides as he hung there. Though the post at least hinted that he was doing something a bit more, he clearly wasn't using that much power. Even when the actual attack came- beams of light crashed from the sky, hitting the cloud of darkness.

(OOC: *Spent, like, 30 minutes trying to hit Vani with Faith and Salvation while he was in that form; he's impervious*)

One by one the beams rained down until all Vanitas could see was white.

That's interesting.

The cloud was amorphous. Light simply shoved it aside. As the light faded, the darkness emerged from the subtle shadows in footprints and beneath rocks to reform the cloud. There was no point staying in that form, since that'd be boring. If he keeps hiding behind that wall, two can play that game if I've got to.

There were other ways to avoid that attack if he so desired.

Vanitas leaped from the ground, instantly shooting a barrage of fireballs at the wall, testing for any weaknesses. The moment he landed, darkness rolled down from his body and seeped into the ground.

[[[Pride and loathing.]]]

[ooc: Yeaaa, I remember that. Jerk. XD Also, is he in the ground or in a solid body at the moment?]

Hm, well, that didn't appear to be working. Still, when he had a more solid form then it should do something... unless he was just immune to light, which wouldn't make much sense.

Joshua was quickly getting bored as well, taking the opportunity of the attack (fireballs? interesting.) to move out behind the wall. It hadn't broken it, Joshua had let it fade, but depending on how much the boy cared he might now notice that. He simply moved out of the way, not attacking for the moment. He wanted to see how little power he could get away with using, after all, and if he could get the boy to show all his tricks...

[OOC: You bet he's a jerk! For the moment Vanitas is above ground again and as vulnerable as he ever is.]

Vanitas watched the fireballs carefully, ready to pinpoint any weak spot. Or if not, to try one last thing. Fireball after fireball made impact with the wall, creating small flattened explosions. The last one, however, though it still hit, the explosion was more rounded, like it had only grazed something.

Bingo.

Vanitas lept through the area the last explosion had gone through, using darkness to rush at his opponent. With sheer hatred he stabbed at the other, and should that miss, he slashed. The slash, however, cut a swatch out of the air, quickly filling it with dark energy that sliced towards the other like a scythe.

The darkness released into in the ground was spreading fast.

Joshua had moved away, letting the boy think for the moment that his magic had broken the wall. Really, his main interest was on the darkness in the ground- it was doing something, obviously- but he should probably focus on the boy. Oh well.

Deciding he might as well give the boy a taste of what he was really dealing with, Joshua shook his head. "Mm, that's getting annoying. Let's slow you down, shall we?" He twisted the space around the boy, slowing him and all the magic he would be casting down quite a bit. He could try as hard as he wanted to go faster, but he would still be going at a snail's crawl until Joshua let him go. Which would be rather soon after he was hit with several beams of light- Joshua wanted to see if that had an effect on him when he was substantial.

The other would never see the cruel smile behind that mask as he raised Void Gear into the air. The other would never see the smirk that began with the power that quickly began to flow through Vanitas's body. And the other would never see his eyes widen a bit as it suddenly felt as if every sinew in his body felt as if it was half-frozen, sluggish and straining.

What the--

The light cut through Vanitas, the twisted time letting out slow grunts of pain as they impacted. The beams were so intense they shone right through him. And the light filled him with an even greater drive to fight, a potent combination of adrenaline laced with darkness.

NOW

Vanitas fell slowly, but still gripped his Keyblade. He hit the ground, but amazingly, his body laid still -- perfectly still -- without so much as his body bouncing off the charred ground a bit. His foot did not fully touch the soil

But as Vanitas fell, about a half dozen Floods, the remainder of the ones that had fought the Lumens, zipped and zagged at the light-haired boy. Their intent was to restrain him, but an attack would do just as well. As fleeting emotions, they were somewhat subject to how they felt at the time.

And that was when the darkness manifested. Not all of it came at once, but most of it rose and incarnated themselves in various forms around the pale boy. The largest by far was a rotund-looking creature with a valve on the back. Despite its body, it moved as if it were much lighter than it appeared. Another was a large, blue jellyfish-like monster with spikes. It lacked the delicacy true jellyfish had. Behind and on either side, a good distance away, looked like little white radishes with odd faces. And floating far behind was a large purple medicine bottle.

They took no time in attacking.

The Tank Toppler deflated, using the air shooting out to propel itself at the enemy at an impressive speed. Should it miss, like a balloon it could turn quickly. Extending its legs, the Blobmob spun fast, planning to flail its opponent thoroughly. The Vile Phial approached only briefly, but just long enough to spew poison from its top at the light-haired boy. While comfortably rooted, the two Mandrakes threw leaves as sharp as knives.

He'd done something, that was for sure. And Joshua didn't mean the sudden flood of creatures, he'd expected something to come from the darkness (though maybe not the amount). Frozen completely in place? That wasn't something the Composer had done. He'd have to keep an eye out, then.

Still, his focus for the moment would have to be on the creatures. Pity, he never liked dealing with the smaller things. He mentally pulled around for some Soul to construct some Noise, but the energy he found was all rather far away and... upwards. Interesting. He'd have to work on that later, then. For now it appeared that he'd have to do this himself.

Joshua moved quickly, enough to dodge everything but the blast of poison (something he had not expected), which would prove to be... annoying. He'd rather get this done quickly, then. He focused on the Vile Phial first, the large objects returning and crashing down towards all the Unversed, but he was making extra sure to hit that one. And that balloon... thing, since it was charging towards him and he rather needed to concentrate.

The Vile Phial went quickly, caught under a random motorcycle and leaving nothing behind but a cloud of dissipating darkness. About half of the Floods were caught under the large objects, but the rest remained, agile as birds and thus able to dart away. They zipped towards the pale-haired kid, stabbing with their sharp limbs.

Cars fell over the mandrakes... But as soon as the vehicles vanished, their little flattened leaves perked up and shook themselves out before resuming their barrage of fatal foliage. Sure, it always hurts grass to be flattened, but it would have hurt worse had they been uprooted. A second car dropped on one, and it vanished from sight more permanently.

The Tank Toppler and Blobmob were hit hard, but both reacted quite differently. The Blobmob after being smashed several times (and simply rising back up) split into two slightly smaller versions of itself. As those were hit, they too, divided, leaving a total of 4 smaller, but just as deadly, foes. The spikes on their domes elongated, and they spun like tops towards their enemy.

The Tank Toppler, by comparison, was quite different. Each time it was hit, it expanded a bit more. It almost seemed to like running face-first into a few attacks. After a few hits, it was huge and glowed an ominous orange while it rolled around, closer and closer until it was near Joshua. At that point, it exploded like a hydrogen blimp!

Everything about moving was so slow, even while reaching across space. But the very moment the last of his body had reached that in-between of that few yards, everything snapped back into place. Vanitas's pulse jackhammered with the adrenaline bottled up as he teleported right above Joshua and proceeded to bear down with all his strength. Even if he missed, giant ice crystals would spring up and grow from the ground.

In all honesty, Joshua had always felt that summoning other creatures to help you fight was cheating. Fighting for you? Sure, it's how half the UG worked. But this was just bad sportsmanship.

Good. At least the boy couldn't claim he was pulling punches. Unlike some.

Joshua put up another wall between him and the creatures- the Tank Toppler in particular, and slipped out of the way of Vanitas's attack. Ice? That was new, at least. Though Vanitas's strategy, or lack thereof, was starting to grow old. If he didn't do something interesting soon, Joshua was going to have to find a good way to end it.

More objects fell from the sky outside the wall, aiming to get rid of the pesky creatures. Inside it, Joshua did nothing to attack. He just smiled and waved a little bit at the masked boy. Totally playful, not at all serious, and really not at all hurt.

The masked boy rose quickly from his attack. Vanitas was quick to note that the Unversed were having difficulty reaching the kid. Another wall. Too much of a coward to take 'em. Figures. Still. Guy's a challenge. After all, it had been the first time he'd called out Unversed to help him since he'd fought Ventus, and the second time, ever. Vanitas could appreciate a good workout.

Despite their best attempts, one by one the Unversed were dispatched. The small Blobmobs divided one last time before each of the eight were eventually dispatched as well.

At the wave, Vanitas simply laughed. "You're actually not all that bad." Though actually decently hurt, Vanitas was very good at fighting through any pain. He acted untouched, taking up a battle stance. "But is that all you got?" The boy knew he'd have to watch for those light beams, but should they arise, he was ready for the moment.

Wonder if anything can ricochet off that fake wall?

[[[Arrogance]]]

Darkness crawled at his feet and vanished, spreading discreetly and dissipating into the air, much like the other Unversed had when they were defeated.

"I guess you'll have to see," Joshua replied, still playful as ever and really not acting concerned at all. He took down the wall (not that Vanitas would be able to tell), holding out his arms in an invitation to attack. Still, there went that darkness again. Apparently it could be rather annoying- what was it up to this time?

He did hope it was something interesting.

There was a lot more darkness this time. It was hard to tell quite how much. Or where it was going to...

Hmph. He's goading me on. Vanitas was smart enough to be wary of such an open invitation. Rather than taking a chance and attacking the old fashioned-way -- with a Keyblade -- Vanitas instead leapt high in the air, raining down sweeping dark lightning. As he landed, he immediately sent out a spray of ice shards. Wherever those shards hit instantly froze.

Joshua blocked the lightening and dodged the ice shards, which froze quite a bit of the area around him but hadn't gotten to him. He still didn't move to attack, perfectly content for the moment to wait for Vanitas to wear himself out. However, that was likely to take entirely too long for Joshua's tastes, so undoubtedly he would showing his hand soon... but he wanted to see what was up with this darkness, first.

The direct approach wasn't working. And it really was getting boring. Someone with this many defensive strategies would be hard to take down. He might as well have been a lion trying to chew on a turtle. With no retaliation of any sort, not even the laughable car-dropping attacks, Vanitas felt no need to use the darkness he'd released... yet.

But perhaps it was time to take advantage of that invitation, despite the risk. It was at least more interesting than anything else.

Vanitas landed, standing in one place a moment. "Hm. Just standing there. Scared?" He stood still a few more seconds...

...Before the illusion vanished. He appeared behind Joshua, shooting several fireballs ahead of him as he rushed his opponent. A few fireballs intentionally missed, turning the surrounding glowing grasses into a conflagration.

"Bored, more like," was Joshua's offhand reply. He remembered the stillness from before, correcting guessing that the boy had teleported himself once more and shielding himself with a wall, causing the fireballs aimed at him to bounce back at Vanitas.

"I suppose I could up it a little bit..." he said vaguely, looking over his nails as one would check nail polish, looking up only to smirk at Vanitas with condescension dripping from his voice, "...but I really don't think you're worth it."

The fireballs that came right back were easily deflected with a few simple swings of his Keyblade. Afterall, who would know those attacks better than their originator? That being said, some new fires had indeed been created around Joshua. Though not fireproof, Vanitas was quite willing to bet his dark armor was a lot more protection than street clothes and exposed hair.

"I really don't care what you think," Vanitas shrugged. The darkness below was stirring.

"You know, usually that's considered a good trait." Joshua sighed dramatically, flipping his hair back and completely ignoring the fires. He wasn't immune to it, by any means, but if it should become a problem he could easily correct it.

Still, even though the darkness was finally doing something again, Joshua's patience was wearing thin. As entertaining as this side trip was, he had other things he could be doing. So the next time Vanitas tried to move, he would find himself remarkably slowed, Joshua levitating slightly in the air.

"But sometimes," he continued, looking down at Vanitas, "you really just need to learn to listen to your betters." Light struck down from above, three pillars aimed directly at Vanitas.

[ooc: Also I am extremely amused by the mental picture of them facing off with Vanitas in full armor and Joshua in his nice clothes. XD]

The fires grew in size, embers beginning to dot the air. Vanitas began to raise his weapon, only to find his muscles again stiff, and his body moving at the breakneck speed of a slug.

This again? The moment he was slowed, he knew an attack was imminent, and began trying to teleport again. In an instant he mentally summoned up the darkness of his loathing that he'd released. It formed into a massive Unversed above him, ready to spring in any direction to attack or shield Vanitas.

The Trinity Armor was forced to the ground by the power of the light, it's feet crashing down on either side of the masked boy as it took the hits. Slowly it levitated again, eyes burning red. It rushed at Joshua, legs mysteriously vanishing. That darkness went elsewhere... However, the arms and torso moved to either side of Joshua, shooting a massive laser between them as they orbited the boy.

Vanitas stood still.

[OOC:... Actually, that is awesome lols!]

Giant armor? Interesting. It wouldn't hold up for long, however. He slipped into the UG to move away from the armor (seeming to suddenly appear and disappear), aiming to determine where Vanitas where would turn up next- he highly doubted the boy was going to be content with being frozen, after all. And while the armor was curious, he was still losing interest in this fight. Once he found Vanitas again, he'd end it.

Slowed or not, Vanitas could still see his surroundings. His little vanishing act was certainly interesting. It also meant he wasn't playing his full hand still, while Vanitas knew he'd played a good deal of his.

Maybe a decent opponent after all.

Then, finally, the last bit of him was freed through the teleport, refreshed as a breath of air after nearly drowning. He appeared a good thirty feet away from Joshua in the opposite direction. The masked boy unleashed a barrage of fireballs, yet at the same time, anyone with the ability to sense darkness would be able to feel it pouring off him at an alarming rate. He was also quick to dive to the ground, again becoming a cloud of darkness. At the same time, however, the alpha and beta portions of the Trinity Armor continued its pursuit and attack of Joshua, employing the same methods.

Darkness already in the area, however, joined by that of the omega armor, took new form in the tall glowing grasses. And it immediately shot out beams of light and darkness, streaking across the field. A beam of darkness was aimed directly for the casually dressed opponent, inflicting blindness for a few long seconds.

The light boy would open his eyes to see his own face smirking back at him, phone to his ear. Pages fluttered across the field as light shot down from the sky towards the real opponent.

Darkness became visible, so thick it flowed around the glowing grass like a black ground fog. In his current form, Vanitas blended right in.

[ooc: Destroying the pages reverts the Mimic Master to normal and then leaves it open for more damage. Until then it will copy any and all attacks either it or Vanitas have seen.]

Joshua paused when his sight returned, blinking at what the darkness had formed into before smirking.

Now that was interesting.

He knew himself well enough that it wouldn't be the best idea to defeat his doppelganger outright- sure, he could do it, but it would require using more effort than he was willing to. Still, cheap copy as it was, there had to be something he could do to get rid of it...

His eyes fell on the pages that certainly hadn't been there a moment before. There was a distinct possibility that they were linked to something, at least. As he'd gotten hit by one of the lasers when he'd been blinded, he hit the remaining armor with light to get it out of his way before blasting the papers, to see what that did.

Light. Ventus's weapon of choice. Vanitas knew it well for so many reasons. Thus, just as the light-haired boy used light to eliminate the remnants of the Trinity Armor, his duplicate used a version of the same attack, copying it perfectly. And seemingly as effortlessly as Joshua himself.

However, the moment the last page was destroyed, the clone vanished, and instead a rather scholarly-looking Unversed appeared, complete with book. However, it didn't wait long before the book became swathed in flames, which the Mimic Master was quick to assault with.

Meanwhile, Vanitas slithered through the darkness, adding to it as he moved. Had they still been there, the pages would have been at least partially covered in it.
