Sora's eyes widened at the sight of the nightmare's regeneration and stepped back. Listening to Miquelet's advice he closed his own eyes as he placed his own weapon out in front of him, as it grew to about twice as large, hilt, blade, and all. He was amazed at first of the size of the new weapon, and even more so at the weight, as it felt as if it was still the same heaviness. He looked over at her, as he slung the new weapon on his shoulder, using a heavy sword style.
"So, now we have unproportionate arsenal...now what?" he said, looking at the approching beast.

you saw how the darkness went pale where you hit it...? if we can do enough of that to expose it's core, then we can try to destroy that... hopefully, that will be enough... shall we...?
*miquelet got ready to make a rapid sprint toward the darkness... she was set to rapidly thrust several times, all aiming at the creature's center... if it didn't dodge, they would batter at it's center, all hitting more or less the same spot...*
*while they were getting ready. the darkness was readying itself as well... it was advancing, speeding up the closer it got... at this point, it was still thirty feet away, but closing extremely fast... it was holding one claw high in the air, to bring down upon our heads if we don't dodge...*

"Hmm...well... It's worth a shot. And it's better than my 'swing at random places 'til dead' idea."
He said, crouching down a little as he got a good footing, prepared to launch himself at the darkness. He noticed the darkness' claw slung back, readying for attack. He slipped the sword off his shoulder just enough to, if needed, swung into a shield-like defense. He gave one last smirk.
"After you..." he said, making a small hand gesture towards it.

*the darkness takes you up on your offer, and brings it's claw smashing down towards you fast enough for a faint wind to stir up... considering there is technically no air here, that means it is travelling quite fast... it followed up by whipping it's other arm forward with a similar strike, this one aimed at miquelet...*
*miquelet watched the claw descend towards her, and waited until what she thought was the right moment... when the time seemed right, she did a quick flip to the left, and brought her staff crashing down, to add to the claw's own speed and momentum... where the staff hit it, a pale splotch spread, but almost immediately started to fill back in...*

Sora looked up as the claw came crashing down towards him. He quickly flung the blade in front of him. He clentched it tightly as the claws smashed straight on into him, as he slide back with amazing force driving it. After being shot back, he shot up into the air, as Miquelet provided the distraction. He was at an awkward angle, being to it's left, so he decided to try and take out the arm right at the shoulder blade, as he swung it twice at the arm, as he fell towards its "feet".

*the two strikes score solid hits, and a long pale stripe can be seen running down the entire length of the darkness' arm... the discoloration starts where Sora hits it, and runs down the entire arm, similar to when your circulation is cut off... before the darkness fills in the damaged section, there is a brief opening visible to it's chest area, where what is most likely the core can be seen... it is a dark crystal, so black that it almost seems to not be there... it seems to pulsate with an odd energy, and as it does so, the pale stripe fills in... the darkness shakes it's injured arm for a moment, and reassures itself that it is working again... it leaps high into the air, and flips to land on the ceiling... whether from hooks in it's feet, or a peculiarity of gravity here, it doesn't fall down, but seems perfectly at ease where it is...*
*miquelet stares up at it, and can tell that the distance is too far for her to jump, so there's nothing much she can do until it gets closer... at this time, it is about fifty feet above Sora and miquelet, and slightly ahead of them...*

Sora falls and looks up, noticing the slight shimmer of a gem of some sort. He squints his eyes and notices a dark aura about the stone.
"I'm guessing that's the core.." he said, a retorical statement to himself. He ran over to Miquelet, even though he knew it would draw the attention to her as well. He looked at the height of the core and noticed that neither of them could jump to those heights. He suddenly snapped, as he looked at Miquelet.
"We need to hit that core, and I just go an idea...find a way to lure it back down here, than get on my back." he said, knowing it sounded weird, but could possibly work.

your back...? well, if it you think it will work... a distraction...? let's see...
*miquelet thinks for a moment, and realizes what all the darkness has done so far... it has seemed to play with them, like it didn't even consider them a challenge... when it first attacked Sora, it acted like it already won... this seemed to indicate it had quite an arrogant streak... if something could be done to trigger that arrogance, maybe to give it an easy target... suddenly, an idea pops into her head... it should work, but it was a gamble... miquelet stepped away from Sora, and looked wildly up at the darkness...*
I can't take it anymore... I'm getting out of here...
*miquelet turns, and sprints towards the corridor out of the room, but stumbles on an unseen disturbance in the ground... she falls to the ground, and lays there, seemingly unconscious... holding her hand under her head, she makes a quick thumbs up to Sora, showing this was planned... she didn't dare say anything, so that would have to do...*
*the darkness spied Sora and miquelet, and knew they were getting desperate... who wouldn't, against one as strong as it...? they seemed to be tryinbg to come up with a planb, when suddenly, miquelet turned and ran away, trying to escape... now that simply couldn't be permitted... the darkness positioned itself, and got ready to spring down on her, so she wouldn't be able to escape...*

Sora put on the best face he could, as he watched Miquelet run and trip, causing the darkness to prepare itself. As it crouched down, Sora made the last minute preperations in his head, making sure that the plan would run as smoothingly as possible. He started to run out to Miquelet, taking small chances to look back to make sure the darkness would get off the ceiling.
Com'on, big fella, come and get us... he thought.

*as expected, the darkness lunged down from the ceiling, dropping incredibly fast... it's mouth was wide open, revealing row upon row of jagged spikes that could possibly be called teeth, but only with a very liberal relation to them... it would try to swallow the both of them in one bite, and be rid of all this trouble... it pulls it's arms back, to gain more speed, and before the time it takes to blink, it is already halfway to them...*
*miquelet looks on the ground, trying to watch the others' shadows at the same time as acting unconscious, and can see both Sora and the darkness approaching... she gets ready to move, but waits for Sora's signal. to make sure their timing is right...*

Sora looks back and watches it as it decends upon them. Damn, this is taking too long!He said, as he looked directly at Miquelet, making a slight nod. His body disappered, as if his body became air itself, and than appeared in front of Miquelet.
"Get up! Hurry!" he said, as the darkness came closer. He stretched his arm out for Miquelet to grab, approuching her.
This is it, I hope this works....

*hearing Sora's voice, miquelet instantly gets up on her feet, grasping Sora's hand with her own... she looks at him, wondering just what his plan is...*
*as this happens, the darkness is practically on them, relatively speaking... it is still a good ten feet away, but considering how fast it's moving, that doesn't mean all that much... it gets ready to slam it's mouth shut on the two of them, standing together, making themselves an easier target...*

He grasped her hand as he swung her onto his back. He than took off away from the darkness, panting a little, but still had enough stamina in him. As the were almost halfway in its mouth, Sora, with Miquelet still on his back, disappeared in a brilliant flash, as it felt as if they were hitting nearly 100mph, as they reappeared about 50 feet away from the creature. Sora turned around, he was shaking a little, still a little spooked about almost being eaten, but shook it off as he looked back.
"Are you ready?" he said, knowing she may not really understand the plan, but when the time comes it would become obvious.

as ready as I'll ever be...
*a little nervous, miquelet grasped his hand a little tighter, and got ready for whatever would happen...*
*the darkness landed face first in the ground, but instantly got to it's feet, looking none the worse for wear... it got on all fours, and it's arms bulked up, and took on the proportions of legs... it galloped towards Sora and miquelet, and didn't bother with any subtlety, it's head lowered toward them expectantly... it practically thought they would willingly dive into it's mouth, so unconcerned with their actions it was...*

A small tear ran down his cheek, as he smirked and looked at the beast.
"This is it!" he shouted as he began one final dash towards the beast. His legs throbbed in pain, mostly of the bruises and overuse, but carried on anyway, as he approached the gigantic creature. "Miquelet, get your staff ready!" he said, as he got closer. He held on tightly to her hand, as they got closer. Than, within 10 feet of its mouth He leap up into the air, but just enough so the beast would have to lift its head. With it's head up, Sora threw Miquelet under its head, giving her a clear shot at its chest as Sora entered the creatures mouth, in a crouched position.
