It figures! Not only do I get stuck working with you, but its over night in the cold!!!

And it figures that you whine like a two year old that just found out that ponies bite people and are not whimsical creatures.

-Clearly, Xaldin and Demyx were not getting along during there over night mission in land of dragons. The pair of men were trudging through the snow on top of the mountain, looking over the land masses below. Demyx grumbled with each step, carrying a back pack on his back that clearly showed that as much as he could be lazy, he was smart enough to prepare, as to not freeze to death.-

I don't see why there has to be two of us.

Enough, I will kill you if you keep whining, just the sight of you gives me a head ache.

Just the sight of you makes me wish I was drunk again, lucky for me I brought Liquor.

...Excuse me what?

You heard me! If I'm gonna be stuck dealing with you then I am drinking all the way through it!

-Xaldin groaned and covered his face with his gloved fingers, mumbling to himself.-

I am dealing with morons... honest to god morons... Kingdom Hearts give me the strength to not kill this idiot.

I heard that!!!

-The pair paused, looking down below to see something was on fire. A small village at the base of the mountain, was being raided. Demyx froze, sure, he wasn't exactly the strongest guy, and he could be a bit of a coward... but..-

...Where are you going!?

-Demyx had thrown down his pack and bolted down towards the village. The screams of women and children echoed through out the small burning villa, and he couldn't stand it.-

Watagra!

-Shouted the man as he summoned the water magic he was known for, attempting to put out the fires atop the little houses. Xaldin had not moved, staring, startled.-

...he actually has backbone.

-Xaldin grunted and grabbed Demyx's pack before descending down on his wind. He landed on his feet and yelled to Demyx.-

Are you crazy?! Do you even know where we are Demyx!!!

No and I don't care! How about you stop barking like a dog with no bite and do something useful like put out a fire!

-Xaldin flinched, the cries of scared women and children echoed, as along with them now in the distance were the sound of men's screams. The village was being not only raided, but it appeared the men had been lead away to be killed. Xaldin grunted and summoned his lances, leaving Demyx to tend to the fires. This was not there job, this was against the rules. Xaldin bolted for the bamboo thicket, where men were sword fighting, dozens paused when he appeared, and rushed at him, bearing there weapons and not at all afraid of him. These men were overly proud samurai... and it sickened the Lancer. With no hesitation, he began to slaughter them, one by one. The remaining men of the village came to his aid in an attempt to beat back the intruders. Xaldin took one look at the colorations and flags, he and Demyx had stepped into a war zone. But not just any war zone, this was a war, between Mongolia, and china. Demyx continued to summon his water, crafting water clones of himself to get the water faster to burning structures. He gasped in horror to see a group of young girls, trapped in a burning house.-

Hold on I'm coming!!!

-Half yelled the man, as he bolted for the burning wooden little house. It was starting to collapse. Demyx projected a stream of water under himself like a slide and foolishly thrusted himself through the burning doorway, he was scared of course... but... they were just little girls, as scared as he was, he refused to leave them to burn. The structure collapsed, but, before the fiery debris could fall down on them all, a dozen of water clones spawned in Demyx's wake and filled the structure, holding off the roof.-
