✗ ;【Underneath his mask, the smirk that Terra believed to be there slowly formed despite his boiling rage. An emotionless, mocking twist to his lips that for a moment he wished his expression was free from his mask. These fools.
Raising his wooden keyblade, the pathetic substitute that it was, Vanitas took his fighting stance as he replied to Terra’s enraged words.
“I haven’t forgotten.” He spoke smoothly, his own fury and unidentified emotions forcibly being put in check.
“I know all too well how easy it is to gain their trust. Honestly it was almost embarrassing to see. I mean, come on- I’m your enemy and you accepted me like a lost puppy out in the rain.” He laughed, letting the tip of his weapon wave from one to the other in a sweeping gesture.
His tone was mocking, his body language arrogant and prepared. It was easy to get into their heads, and it was a simple thing to push the right buttons. What he said before still hung in the air like black tar dripping from the ceiling. Whether he died tonight or not, he would still be the victor in this little spat.
They would crumble into anger and hatred, slowly but surely. That, he was sure of.
As Terra’s ridiculous speech ended, he did just as Vanitas knew he would- recklessly charge forward with nothing but his own wooden keyblade. When the Barrier spell enclosed around him however, he knew that of the two he fought- only one was a real threat to him.
The human equivalent of a bull rushing him from the front, and the infuriatingly agile approach from Aqua on the side- he had few options, and he didn’t want to be pinched between the two.
With a startling amount of speed, Vanitas launched himself diagonally away from both of them, the tip of his weapon crackling with cold light. He wanted to keep both of them in sight, and constantly moving was his only option.
“Xehanort this, Xehanort that…” He sounded like an exasperated older brother talking to their dense younger sibling. “When are you going to get it through your skulls that I don’t care about him? I don’t need the old man to hold my hand, and I won’t let you two idiots get in the way of what I want!”
Tone darkening to something venomous, Vanitas regarded the woman’s final words with a razor-edged fury that surprised even him in its intensity.
“Whole? How the Hell can you think that’s real? I’m still here, and whatever Ven is right now- I can assure you that it is as fake as everything in this city is. It won’t last- and if I have to, I will personally make sure of that.”
As he moved he fired off a Blizzard spell, sending a wave of ice towards Aqua to try and off-set her course; the first thing he had to deal with was Terra. With him trying to hack at Vanitas the whole time, it would become difficult to deal with Aqua’s spells.
Immediately after he fired the Blizzard, he turned towards Terra; should the man continue his bull charge, Vanitas would smash his weapon into the Barrier with all his might before attempting to backflip away. The only way through that was to either wait it out, or smash it open.】
