Everything was going according to plan. The warriors were reacting as he expected. Ardeth dodged the attack, Alexiel tried to protect the man by putting herself between him and the spell, and Luna used her magic to push the reckless girl out of the way. They are protecting one another. Yet they are not acting like a team. They are all doing their own thing without any form of communication or synergy. That will work to his advantage in the long run. As he snapped his fingers, the energy dissipated just as it hit the building behind his intended target.
When Vanigx and his little dragon attacked, one of the hooded figures jumped from the roof between it and Noctis. A metal clanking could be heard when he landed. The cloaked figure held out his hand and a wall of dark light appeared all around him and Noctis stopping both attacks shattering them.
"There was no need for you to interfere." Umbra said as he turned towards the figure.
"Sorry." The male voice said as he bowed respectfully.
"Well no sense crying over spilt milk. Besides I may have overestimated these warriors." Noctis said as he looked behind him seeing the spell caster Raizel. "You should understand how much power I have after I cast that spell, and yet you think your measly power would hurt me." Noctis said in a calm voice as he stared into the man's eyes.
"I do understand."
Was all Raizel said as he held his hand palm out at the man that attacked. He might not stand a chance as far as power, but even at this range he could do some damage even if he did put up a barrier. That is if he even thought of gathering any magical energy.
Noctis turned his attention to Vanigx as he shook his head. "All of your raving about your darkness. That tiny speck of darkness you think is so grand is nothing. You try to be a martyr, and yet the only person who believes that is yourself. Your heart is weak because you came to be struggling against an unseen force that is no longer with you. Besides, even with your armor and your little pet, you are no match for my followers, and you have absolutely no chance against me." Noctis said as he looked up to the rest of his Wraiths. "Why not come down and say hello?"
Without saying a word, the others jumped down next to their fellow Wraith. All of them were hidden with their hoods.
"These are my Wraiths. Don't worry; you will get to know them very well. That is, if you can survive my little game."
"If we are not needed, then I think it is time we took care of our assignments." A man with an Arabic accent said as he opened a portal.
"Go ahead. I have no further use for all of you at the moment. Besides, two of you need to eliminate our uninvited guest."
"Hmm… I am looking forward to that." A female voice said as she looked to Kairi. "I am sure he will make a fine pet. Though breaking him might be a challenge.
Each of them bowed their heads and walked into the portal that the one opened. Yet one Wraith stopped before entering the vortex. He turned and looked at the youngman in the dark armor.
"Blaming the darkness for your faults is crutch. You need to stop being a baby." A metalic sounding voice said as he then turned and entered the portal with nothing else said.
The lavender and black portal closed as soon after the last Wraith entered. If any of the warriors of light wanted to follow they could, but if they did, they would find themselves in the realm of darkness, and would not be able to withstand the darkness of that level. It was a miracle that Riku was able to exist in that level for darkness.
"Now that they are gone, it is time to see how well you survive this little game." Noctis said as the shadows in the area started to move. The shadows began to take shape, and several heartless appeared. There were shadows, neo shadows, and dark balls. There was at least fifteen of each species of heartless surrounding the small group of warriors.
As soon as the heartless appeared, he quickly turned around and closed the distance between him and Raizel. "As for you…" He said right before hitting the young magician in the chest with his hand. The force of this strike sent Raizel flying backwards into a building, hitting it hard enough to shatter the brick and leave an indentation. "I think you need a time out."
Raizel hit the wall hard and smacked his head against the wall. The force of this strike knocked him for a loop and he was not able to stand after sliding to the ground.
