Everything had been set up for this one moment. Oshujax and Dachxcirk were finally fixing to settle the score. Oshujax was looking for revenge on Dachxcirk and looking for the safety of Nixalcti, the 18th Order, and Castle Remembrance while Dachxcirk looked to destroy Oshujax along with the 18th Order and its castle. Oshujax looked at Dachxcirk and saw what had happened to him. A crown on his head, along with Chaser-looking armor that had the Heartless symbol on the breastplate is all that Oshujax saw. Apparently, Dachxcirk had become the Heartless King.
Oshujax took hold to the Paladin Blade, and then started by running toward Dachxcirk, using a Mirror Image to run in front of Oshujax. The Mirror Image jumped over Dachxcirk's head, as Dachxcirk punched at it, while Oshujax took his Paladin Blade, making a diagonal slash on Dachxcirk's armor, hitting in a concentrated spot on Dachxcirk's chest, causing his armor to break. Oshujax then started throwing concentrated blows, more complex than what he had shown Nixalcti before, with his head on the ground, spinning like a top and kicking Dachxcirk in the face, followed by a kick into the air like Sasxe had pulled on him earlier. With Dachxcirk in midair, Oshu used his magic to fly in the air, as he threw punches and moved at high speeds around Dachxcirk, throwing ravage crosses, haymakers, jabs, and all sorts of punches on Dachxcirk, creating a Hidden Lotus-esque maneuver, and then ended it by grabbing hold to Dachxcirk and spiraling down into the ground, piledriving him.
Oshujax then leapt back up to his feet and stayed on the defensive, looking at Dachxcirk closely. "HOW!? HOW CAN YOU DO SO MUCH DAMAGE TO ME WITHOUT YOUR TIME POWERS!?" "I never needed them, Dachxcirk! I don't need time halts to kick ass!" "But how can you defeat me? How are you able to unleash physical attacks on me!? I can absorb any attack!" "True, you look like you're able to absorb any attacks, but the attack has to be a physical attack that you can easily capture! And there's no way that your darkness can keep up with any of my barrages, since I can speed myself up using my magic to make it nearly impossible for you to keep up!"
Dachxcirk growled. "Well, if that's how it is, then I guess I'll have to step my game up!" Dachxcirk stood back up, and generated a large ball of darkness, and then launched it at Oshujax. Since Oshu had low stamina from the previous maneuver he had pulled, he couldn't move. There was no time to create a barrier, so Oshu crossed his arms, as he was caught in the blast. Oshu did not scream, thanks to the Strength of Arthur, but he was hurt badly. The blast of darkness greatly damaged him. His bones were on the verge of breaking, and the blast of darkness had knocked the wind out of him. "No!! Leave him alone, Dachxcirk!" Dachxcirk laughed and turned back to face Nixalcti. "I told you, didn't I?" Dachxcirk then walked back over to Oshujax, and picked him up by his cloak, and began beating Oshu senseless, but did not hear or feel anything from Oshu. "What, is this not hurting you? Speak! Do something! Show your pain!" Dachxcirk then grabbed Oshujax and hit him in the gut with his knee, and then choke slammed him into the ground face down, rubbing his face in the dirt, and then throwing him into the wall.
Damn it! Why did the fucking pathway have to be so long...
Dachxcirk again walked over to Oshujax. This time though, Oshujax had recuperated, and kicked Dachxcirk in the stomach. Quickly leaping back to his feet, Oshujax threw another kick into Dachxcirk's face, and began beating him senselessly, returning every blow that Dachxcirk made on him, ending by body slamming Dachxcirk into the ground. "Go, Oshujax!" Nixalcti cheered for Oshujax, hoping that he would save her from what appeared to be a doomed fate for her. Oshujax rose into the air, with the Paladin Blade in his hand, looking down at Dachxcirk. "This is a little trick I learned from Rextly!" Oshu's Paladin Blade began spinning at a high velocity, as Oshu looked down at Dachxcirk. Once targeted, Oshujax commenced a move that had been executed by Rextly once before: the Celestial Drop.
Dachxcirk screamed, as the Paladin Blade drilled into him and did a large amount of damage on him. "It's over already? That was easy." Oshujax smiled, and went to free Nixalcti, until a blast of darkness hit him in the back, catapulting him into the wall. Dachxcirk stood back up, still moving. "Congratulations. You just pissed me off, Oshujax. I was still holding back on you, and I know you're holding back on me. Come on, Oshujax! Let's go all out!" Oshujax dropped from the wall, landing on his feet, and turned around. "Oh, you want a quick death? Fine."
A white aura surrounded Oshujax. His clothes started changing colors, from black to white. The white clothing began revealing the tribal patterns on Oshu's jacket and clothes. Oshujax smiled and laughed, as he was unleashing his true form. Dachxcirk smiled, as he too began changing, with a dark aura surrounding him. The Heartless side of Dachxcirk disappeared, as Dachxcirk's human form returned, the only difference being that Dachxcirk's eyes were blackened, and he bore the Heartless symbol on his chest, with darkness running through his veins, showing visibility.
Things were fixing to get serious.
