End Of The World

"Hmmm... If you say so..." she agreed. "No human capabilities, though..." She frowned, looking vaguely disturbed. "But what about- wait, I'm not even sure if he's still alive." She blinked, becoming alert. "I don't think it's that uncommon. I know of at least two other cases of physically human heartless shapes. My neighbor is one, although I don't know him very well." she sighed, glancing up at Xandrick. "Enough about my special. Do you know a nobody that has a moogle and acts overly kind to random heartless?"

"Yes...he's my friend...Maxx...why do you ask?" he asked a bit puzzled now.

"I just wanted to know his name. He was a little patronizing, but he did, apparently, save my life." MarzipanHen nattered on. "I just hope I don't encounter anymore keybladers, their hearts may be the brightest, but it's impossible to get one without an army. Taking a bunch of mediocre hearts is much easier."

"Why did he protect you? Or who from? Did he get hurt?" he asked as he was now worried for his friend, although he shouldn't be since he shouldn't even care.

"I don't know why he protected me or the keyblader's name. I don't think Maxx got hurt, but his moogle escorted me away before I could see anything, and I left right after that." she shrugged. "I'm sorry I don't know any more about your friend."

"alright...well I hope he is alright...I'll have to ask him about that the next time I see him..." he said softly as he was now a bit worried still but he pushed it from his thoughts so it wouldn't bug him to much. "Are you alright?" not sure if she was ok or not.

"Mostly. I still hurt from where the keyblader tied me up. It seemed like my vicious foil attacks hat no effect." MarzipanHen frowned thoughtfully. "I wonder why?" she murmured.

"hmm...mind if I see your attack...I might be able to answer" he said softly.

MarzipanHen swung her foil about, slashing viciously through the air. She kicked up an awful lot of dirt, as she hit a large boulder. Her foil bent, so she began trying to straighten it out. "Oops. Just give me a second, and I'll finish up with my final attack."

"...no need...your not very strong...you need to get stronger"

"Stronger?" she tilted her head. "But I'm already ridiculously strong for a heartless. I can use... the power of Words!" she smiled. "That's a great super power, right?" by this time her foil had been straightened, and she returned it to its place at her back.

"Words cane emotionally and sometimes mentally hurt someone I suppose but...on a physical fight it won't do anything for you..."

Sighing, she agreed. "I suppose so." She shrugged. "I've never really thought about trying to get stronger before... This strength was enough to take most hearts." She frowned. "How does one get stronger, anyway?"

"training...and since your a heartless stealing hearts as well.." he said softly, shifting and sitting on a rock.

"Huh. That does make sense..." she seemed depressed for a moment before becoming happy again. "You sure you don't want to see my final attack? It's really cool."

"If you wish to show me you can..." he said softly, looking down at her still, finding her rather unusual still. Talking Heartless's...he didn't know whether he should start getting worried or not about this at all.

"Ha! Coolio!" MarzipanHen looked focused, concentrating for a moment, before moving suddenly. She pulled her foil off of her back, and threw dirt she had somehow acquired in her invisible opponents eyes before impaling where their heart would be with her foil. She stood still for a moment before turning back to Xandrick. "Wasn't that the most awesomest final attack ever?!"

He shrugged. "It's the only one I've seen my dear...so I can say yes and it won't be a lie" he smiled a bit as he was slightly amused.

"Ha-ha!" she crowed, before murmuring "Was that a complement, or not?" She paused. "Really? The only final attack? But everyone has one, right? You have to have seen your own at some point, right? I bet yours is really scary, too. Mine is only scary because it's so very effective. I've met no one who could defeat it!"

"I don't have a final attack" he stated. "Yours the only one I have seen..." he chuckled as he found it interesting she would think his was scary although he didn't have one. "Why would you think mine would be scary if I had one?"

"Well... You do have those really freaky, intimidating wires. I bet the attack would be called something frightening, too. Something like: Meat Cleaver Wires of Death or Metal Strings That Appear From Nowhere And Think Your Soul Tastes Nice, or something." she pouted. "Mine is just called Throw Dirt In Someone's Eye And Hope That It Has Some Effect."

He smirked, amused by those names. "You need to work on more natural tactics and then work on weapons...as well as shorter names..." he relaxed a bit.

"I guess..." she sighed. "But I like my final attack name, it tells you exactly what it is, so that no one gets confused. If I called it Eye of Earth or something no one would get it, until I used it." She began to mutter to herself "I hate when they say something like that and you have no idea what's going to happen until you're lying on the ground with the breath knocked out of you..." she stopped, looking self-conscious for a moment. "Ah, sorry, I was talking to myself again... Anyway, thanks for the advice, I should probably put it into practice." she smiled at him. "I wonder if I should go get more hearts now or later..."

"the point is to not let them know till it's to late...it's strategy sometimes...and its your choice weather to go look now or later, doesn't matter to me" he stated, finding her rather strange, and somewhat questioned her intelligence but if she is a heartless he wasn't surprised but at least she was smarter than the common heartless.

"Well... Bye, then. I need to get stronger, so that people won't be able to capture and hurt me so easily next time." she backed away from Xandrick, vaniching into the darkness.
