[Probably one of the only times anyone he knows has really seen him livid. He's almost glaring at the screen as he addresses the feed.]

If anyone's around Goldenrod currently, I suggest you watch your back.

This is about that brat and his stunt just now, isn't it?

[video] -locked-

[landbreaker]

Yes.

I need information on him. And if you know about the world, that too. Minnie-san tried to explain some of it but the brat's attack was timed too well.

[He's being polite, but very serious and blunt.]

[Unfortunately, Terra's on his last shreds of patience. The rest comes out a little more curt than he intended.]

All you need to know is that he's dangerous and has no mercy. He's a skilled fighter, he's fast, and he knows exactly what he's doing. Not a lot of us stand a chance against him and taking him down is no easy task.

[Softly] You're underestimating me.

[A tiny bit of a growl] Look, I wouldn't be asking if I didn't have skills of my own. They may have taken my blade and sealed my other abilities but they couldn't take away my memories or my training.

[He takes a deep breath.] Minnie-san calls me her friend and the brat is attacking her. He's annoying too, but I won't underestimate my enemies. I'm willing to work with whoever's opposing him, but I won't stay out of this. Isn't it in your best interest to have more allies in opposing him if he's that much of a threat?

By the way, if he's that much of a threat, shouldn't you have locked this down in the first place? You're giving him advance knowledge on everything that goes on here.

[Yep, he realized that a little too late.] I'm aware it was my mistake for not being careful, but I'm not trying to underestimate anyone here. I know Sora and I know Minnie, and if they're anything alike, it's that they don't want any of their friends getting hurt. Ven, Aqua, and I've been dealing with him since before we got sent here, and I don't want anyone else who can't handle themselves in a fight to get involved.

[A pause here as he takes a breath.]

... Clearly, you've made your point in being able to take care of yourself.

The brat planned it well, to knock everyone from his world off balance. On the other hand, he feels secure in the advantage he thinks he's gained. It will leave an opening, however small and hard to exploit.

I'm less off balance, but I also don't know hardly anything about him or your world. Knowledge is power, as his stunt just proved.

[A pause] If we're going to work together, we should at least be introduced, eh? Hoshigaki Kisame.

No one has seen his face back home, save for Ven. I'm not exactly sure why he and Sora share the same face, but I know Sora's shaken up. Until I talk to Ven about this, that's about all I know.

[He sighs, managing a small nod] I'm Terra.

Minnie-san claimed he wasn't human. Do you have any idea what he is?

[He nods] Nice to meet you.

[It's perfunctory, clearly, because he doesn't feel it's nice circumstances]

From my world, there are two forces that the worlds revolve around, Light and Darkness. Everyone has a bit of Darkness in their hearts and the only people who don't are the Princesses of Light. Vanitas -- the kid who made that broadcast -- is the Darkness in Ven's heart made into a tangible form. There's no shred of Light in him, which is why he's dangerous. He knows no mercy.

Is that why the brat still lives? Kill a part; kill the whole?

[Asked very seriously]

[video] -locked-

[landbreaker]

Something like that. Ven wanted to take him on alone, which would result in the creation of something that would put all the worlds at risk. We didn't know what would happen to Ven himself if he was to confront Vanitas... but we didn't have much time to think about it until Vanitas and his Master came.

ch' without Samehada...

[The camera moves; Kisame is standing up and on the move] Shame the brat can't be sealed away; you'll have to find another option. You know the brat better so I'll leave the plan to you and your friends. I'll be ready to assist you when the time comes.

[landbreaker]

Until I learn more, keeping Sora, Ven, and Minnie from him is my priority. If a fight does happen, I think we'll be all right. Everyone's on the same level here.

[He nods again] Thanks. I'll keep you posted.

Until Anago's level is higher, I have no reason to move on. I can look out for Minnie-san so you don't spread yourself as thinly.

[If it sounds like he's making macho excuses for something he'd be doing anyway...it's because he is]
