Mao was somewhat impressed by Riku's improvisation with the keyblade, but by no means want to show it, much less acknowledge it. There was no way Mao would be able to do that with his sword. He was too small like this in comparison to it, and he didn't have a keychain attached like Riku did. Dammit. That wasn't fair!

Mao glared at the weapon on the ground for a moment before taking a few unsteady steps off to the side and concentrating, muttering under his breath. A large block of ice suddenly burst up from the ground, leaving Mao felling much more triumphant. "Good. I can still use magic." He couldn't equip a staff or any monster weapons, but it was something.
