Mechakara had known, the second he moved, that he was not going to come out of this fight alive. Even he, with his superior senses, hardly saw Terra move to intercept him. The robot tried to raise his hands, to fend off at least a few of the blows, but they were lightning-fast, crackling with energy, doing far more damage to metal and plastic than any human fists ought.

Some humans thought that robots didn't feel pain. But anyone who'd spent any real time around them knew that wasn't true. Mechakara swallowed the agony, refusing to cry out even as parts of his body cracked under the assault. He wasn't going to show weakness, not even as he was destroyed. Again.

There wouldn't be anyone to rebuild him, this time. He thought, maybe, that Judas would have at least tried, but she didn't have the necessary skills. He hoped the cyborg, at least, had killed a few of Linkara's friends. He hoped Judas had done better than he had. Suddenly, he was grabbed and thrown through the air, towards Linkara, and for a moment his still-glowing red eyes met the human's blue ones. The robot mustered up the last of his strength, meeting Linkara's prideful grin with his own hateful glare.

More than anything, he hoped this wretched magic city tore Linkara to shreds.

The last blow of the Keyblade took out Mechakara's visual systems. He didn't see the world dropping far down beneath him. He didn't see his fuel begin to leak from the shattered core of his body, igniting on loose-sparking wires.

And he didn't feel the final explosion.

Terra didn't bother watching the explosion either, instead he followed Linkara's lead because the moment seemed to call for it. Already bits of the robot floated into the stratosphere and others rained from the sky on the city blocks He could already feel the effects of the morph wearing off but since it was partially tied into his own armor it seemed to be drawing from that power as well. Already, however, the white shine seemed to be dimming and Terra knew the armor form itself wouldn't last much longer, not after the abuse he had just put it through.

He pulled the helmet part off, tucking it under his arm and looking to Linkara. He wanted a better look at the keyblade because he wasn't sure if it was real or just a strange side effect of this city. "Linkara...how...? What just happened?"

[iamaman_punch]

After the satisfaction of that final explosion, Linkara's eyes had wandered to the Keyblade - his Keyblade, he was pretty sure, because who else used that logo? The fact that he'd somehow managed to pick up yet another weapon - one with a good deal of importance and responsibility - was just starting to sink in.

At Terra's question, he turned to face his friend, noting that the same white glow that was receding from the Keyblade was fading from Terra's armor as well. They'd been connected somehow during that last attack - he was certain of it. "I'm not sure," he replied slowly, thinking. "My guess would be backlash from too many types of magic colliding all at once somehow switched our weapons. It was pretty convenient how that all worked out, though." He paused. "Where I'm from, people call that the Rule of Cool."

He couldn't help but grin a bit. Now that the danger was over, he could appreciate just how cool that white armor looked. "How's it feel?"

[eroded_earth]

"That...was pretty cool," Terra has to admit. He looks down at the armor, only now realizing that the power morpher/coin was attached to his armor where a belt might be, only it was embedded into the armor. He shakes his head though as he considers it more, "That might have been what triggered the reaction, but the Keyblade wouldn't have stayed with you if it hadn't chosen you as a wielder."

Linkara didn't seem to be taking this very seriously though. In fact, he seemed amused by the whole thing which sort of bothered Terra. He knew this was a bigger problem, but he wasn't sure how to explain it to Linkara. Of course, he was then distracted by Linkara's question and Terra paused to consider the armor and power-up again. "Stronger and faster, mostly. More so than what I would usually get with my armor in its normal state." He paused and couldn't help but smile, "It feels good really." Plus, he looked like a white knight or something and that was ALWAYS cool in Terra's books considering how often he'd played at knights as a kid.

And suddenly things made a whole lot of sense. It was one thing to pick up a weapon and quite another to have it choose you - something Linkara was slowly starting to realize he'd have to come to terms with. "That would explain why it looks like this, yeah," he muttered.

The smile was right back on his face when Terra talked about the power-up and admitted that it was - duh - cool. "Looks like the Morpher likes you," Linkara commented, looking the white armor up and down. "And of course you'd be a knight in shining armor."

[eroded_earth]

It would have been one thing if the keyblade in Linkara's hand had looked anything like Ends of the Earth but it was an unfamiliar design as far as Terra was concerned. Linkara seemed familiar with its form which only further proved Terra's thoughts, after all the keyblade chose its wielder and took ques from its wielder as to the shape and style it should take. You could change it, of course, with the application of keychains but that was not the case here Terra thought.

Another thought surfaced as well, one that caused Terra's smile to falter slightly: 'The Master is going to be very unhappy about this.'

He shuddered but looked up when Linkara commented on the armor again. "I guess...I wasn't entirely sure it would work...but I guess it modified the armor I already possessed."
