[earthshaken]

[Illidan's first remark earns a scowl and a furrowed brow. He knows the darkness is dangerous... Maybe he's even afraid of it. But ironically, that fear only draws him closer to it.] I want to be reliable more than anything.

[Someone his friends could depend on to help and protect them... So far he's failed miserably at it. But whenever he's given into the darkness, he's done some terrible things, things that make him anything but reliable. Still, he doesn't dismiss Illidan's words, letting it sit at the back of his mind for now as they proceed to find the doctor.

Terra tries to follow Illidan as quietly as possible -- at least, as much as it's possible to stay quiet around someone so tall, and with hooves. He nods, moving closer as Illidan gestures to him, and once they're shrouded in smoke, he extends a hand, summoning his Keyblade.

Evidently Illidan already has a plan in mind, so Terra doesn't strike just yet, waiting for the signal.]

[unpreparer]

[Illidan gestured for Terra to go by the door the doctor had come from, to make certain he couldn't simply flee back out of it. Of course once they were too far apart he knew the boy would shed the concealment spell, so before it does, he drops the spell of his own volition and charges at the madman.

Calling forth bright green flame to his hand he strikes the doctor's gut. It was not a lethal blow, but the flames fed not on matter as regular flames, these latched on to ones very life. The force from the blow send the doctor to Terra's direction. While Illidan could have easily killed him in one hit, he wanted to see more of the curious boy's power, if he would use it. If not, the fel fire should finish the doctor off shortly.

Boy! Finish it!

[earthshaken]

[Terra waits by the door, curious to see Illidan's power. That quickly changes to horror as he watches Illidan throw out green fire, striking the doctor in his direction. He can tell just from a glance that the green fire is similar to his own darkness, sapping and devouring anything it touches.

Instead of striking the killing blow, Terra lowers his Keyblade and backs away, staring from the dying man to Illidan.]

I won't! We only needed to stop him.

[He doesn't care now whether Illidan calls him unreliable. This was too far, especially for someone who couldn't even fight back.]

[unpreparer]

Are you deft boy?!

[Illidan growls and pulls his make shift bandanna off, revealing the gruesome remains if his blackened burnt out sockets, but the sight is soon obscured by the flames that had replaced his eyes, as they grew bright. In a flash energy shot from them, reducing the doctor to nothing but a scorched mark on the ground.

Once the threat was eliminated he he replaced the bandanna over his eyes and turned to Terra, not pleased with his naivete]

Are you such a fool to believe that would stop him? He is an apparition, he shall return shorty.

[earthshaken]

[Terra can only watch, transfixed. Killing Unversed is one thing, but people... This just reminds him too much of his fight with... His hand tightens on the Keyblade, and it takes a moment for him to register what Illidan was saying.]

--What?!

[That people (NPCs? he hasn't bothered to learn the terminology) return here is news to him. Apparently he really had no idea that was how ViViD worked. He responds angrily,]

If that's true, that makes killing him even more pointless!

[unpreparer]

[Illidan crossed his arms and scowled at Terra.]

It stops him temporarily until it returns, at which point I shall hunt it again. Do not show mercy to a foe that would not show the same mercy to you.

[earthshaken]

But... He was defenceless. Striking down an enemy that can't fight back isn't right.

[...Ignoring the fact that the same doctor had him strapped to a table only minutes ago, but still. Terra was hardly helpless in that situation, so it doesn't matter.]

[unpreparer]

Do you know nothing of war, boy? Your most dangerous foes are not the ones that brandish weapons on the front lines. They are the ones sit behind a table armed with nothing but a sharp mind.

[He gestures to the room, which while he could not see, had sensed the nature of the place. The scent of blood was thick in the air.]

This is all a war on the mind, and you fall for it like a fool.

[earthshaken]

If this is all just a trick, aren't you falling for it too by playing along?

[It's a weak protest, though, because he has to concede Illidan has a point. Time and again, he's always been outsmarted by those who would seek to use him.]

[unpreparer]

[He scoffed at the boys meager argument.]

Until I find the source of this magic, the most I can accomplish is to keep that apparition at bay, so that it does not prey upon the weak minded fools such as yourself.
