As Roxas landed, he saw Vanguard crash right next to him.  Without warning, an elbow flew right towards him.  He dodgerolled to the left, dodging the elbow smash which apparently was another faint.  Vanguard began kicking in a variety of directions.  In order to combat his monstrous strength, Roxas used the power of light to enhance his keyblades.  They both became covered in light enhancing their strength and his reflexes.  However, all he could do was parry his kicks.
 
He could not stay on the defensive like this, he had to do something to break through Vanguards attack. He couldn't keep this up much longer either.

"UGH!!", shouted Roxas calling on his inner strength.

With that, a strike of light engulfed Roxas and caused a large shockwave and large pillers of light began striking the area around them.

As Roxas began slashing, Vanguard turned around parrying his blows.  This stopped his plan to bounce off of him and create distance.  Still he had to get some distance somehow or this fight will be over quickly.  Because of the weird physics that come with his attacks, Roxas was still in the air during this flurry of attacks.  Just as Roxas ended his assault, Vanguard stepped back, getting ready to give a strong punch.  Thinking that Vanguard was going to strike him directly with his fists, Roxas began gliding forward hoping to move to the right of the trajectory of his punch. 

As Vanguard leaned forward  a small shockwave struck Roxas.  However, he was already passing the warrior and was moving fast enough that it didn't effect him enough to hurt him.  Vanguard kept going and struck the ground beneath him rather that punch forward like Roxas thought. Still it didn't matter Roxas was already far behind Vanguard.  He landed on a safe spot in the grass about 3 yards away and turned around, getting ready for the next attack.

As Roxas delivered his slash, he was stopped by Vanguards arms.  Vanguard twisted the blades, in a way disarming them.  Then, he grabbed Roxas's collier and slammed him into the ground.  The blow was very powerful, Roxas even blacked out for a brief second.  However, he knew that if he stood still Vangaurd would finish him off. 

Roxas quickly recovered and dodge rolled under Vanguards legs.  Then he attempted to slash Vanguards back with a volley of keyblade strikes.  If he was successful in the attack he would create distance by jumping off his back, into the air.

Vanguards body began growing back.  Roxas couldn't believe it.  Then the warrior backed up leaving 4 feet between the two.

"Very well, whenever you are ready." he said.

Roxas summoned oblivion.  He was out of magic after using Curaga, aside from using various light attacks.  However, those are powerful, he didn't want to use them until he got a sense of how powerful Vanguard was.

Roxas used his quickdash skill to quickly close the distance between the two, dashing forward at a speed that made his body appear blurry.  He used his momentum and attempted to use both of his keyblades to slash vertically, pushing back his opponent or even knocking him back.

Roxas was so lost in thought that he didn't realize that Vanguard was damaged.  He examined the armoured man, making sure there was nothing irreversible like a lost limb.  He noticed a huge whole in Vanguards chest and a damaged shoulder.

"Oh Im sorry I didn't even notice your damaged body.  Here I think I can help, though im not sure what to do about the... lost parts"

Roxas walked up to Vanguard, standing shoulder length away from him.  He summoned oathkeeper.  Then, he raised oathkeeper in the air, pointing it at the sky.  A green circular light consumed the tip of the key blade and began to surround the two.  The two began shining a neon green light, healing all injures.

Roxas

"That sounds like a never ending battle.  I hope somehow you can reach your goal."

Roxas stopped walking.  They were away from the residential area now and had wondered onto an abandoned football field.

"Vanguard, can you do me a favor?  Spar with me.  I want to test something."

Roxas thought for a minute.  What was his purpose?  Axel used to ask him questions like that.  His purpose in his old world was to be a mirror to Sora.  He was his other, his alter ego and more importantly, a vessal containing Sora's memories along with his heart.  In this world, he has no purpose.  He had no friends to protect and no home to defend.  He had his independence but that independence is hallow without a purpose or people to enjoy life with. 


Roxas took another minute, lost in thought.  He fought to defend his independence his whole life, eventually handing it over to Sora.  In this world, he could not find the answer just yet.

"My purpose is to find a purpose.  I want to find a way to be useful to those in this world, to make friends and experience happiness and sadness.  I have a heart and I want to use it.  Vanguard, what is your purpose?"

They kept walking entering a residential area with large apartment complexes.

Roxas and Vanguard began walking down the sidewalk of the city leaving the police station.  Vanguard calmly spoke to Roxas:

“Oh, so you too are not from this world. Quite amusing, this phenomenon we appear to be in… The Nexus; it is a rift in space and time not unlike the world you originate from. To put it bluntly, it is a gluttonous space that constantly devours and plunders that which originates from all other rifts, ignoring what separates possibility from reality, and claims it as his own. I too have been consumed and brought here and I assume the same could be said about you, boy."

“Tell me, Roxas, do you believe this ever devouring plane possesses a will?”

Roxas thought for a second, pondering Vanguards question.

"Yes I do believe that this devouring plane has a will, you would be surprised what kinds of beings end up having wills.  Why do you ask?"

Roxas

Roxas watched as Noel said her goodbyes and left. "Bye Noel good luck with your work!" he shouted as she walked away.  Once again he turned to Vanguard.

"You know watching Noel run around like that makes me think it might be best to get a job.  I don't have any money or a place to sleep yet.  Its a good place to start.  Come on, it will be fun to talk as we walk."

With that he began walking down the sidewalk of the city, away from the police station.

Roxas

Noel looked a bit annoyed, having that pressed for time look on her face.  She grabbed Roxas's hand and said,“I’m sorry about this, but I really have to get going.” She said and grabbed the kid’s hand once more. “Maybe we can talk another time, ok?”

Now that he thought about it, they were in front of a police station. Roxas wondered if perhaps she was a member of the police.  Regardless, she was clearly busy with something.

"Yes, it was nice meeting you miss Noel."

Then, Roxas turned to face the walking amour.

"Well, if you want someone to travel with, I don't mind.  To be honest, since coming to this world I have been thinking about what I should do with myself.  It looked like Noel would help me but I don't think she has the time and I don't want to be a burden.  Perhaps I need a job or a home.  I just, don't know....  My name is Roxas, what is yours?"

Urthemiel

The Old God preened a bit at the word beautiful. It had been ages since he had been personally praised for his masterfully crafted looks. "There is no need for thanks but there is the issue of payment. I did risk my magnificent self to save you both, so at the very least you should do me a favor and start having children. You are both very beautiful and it would be a shame if you were to die without a child to pass on your looks to."

As he said this the Dragon of Beauty began the delicate process of brushing dust off of his robes and making sure his hair was still perfect. It would be abominable to appear any less than he was.

Medaka blushed after the hearing the dragon human's words.  If they had not been completely outmatched mere seconds before, she would have responded with something like "I have too much love for one person to handle."  However, was it really right to say that now?  She lost herself back there after losing her friend but that doesn't mean she has too much love for him, only that she has the capacity to care for others.  She is human, more so in this world than any other.

With that thought, she smiled.  She stood by and listened to what Lorenzo had to say.

"Eeeh, you are right, I am obviously a hella charming lad. And Medaka is pretty beautiful herself. But children..."

"Nope, can't do. Making love, all for it. Go ahead, you can join us while you are at it. But kids... never. Just think about it, could they really be proud to have a scoundrel and a bastard as father? A crook? A dog can only breed dogs, and while I am one of a kind, It wouldn't be fair for me, for them or for Medaka to be stuck with brats and make em live a life of misery." Lorenzo added cheerfully, casually walking in circles and waving his unshattered arm around, gesticulating his way trough the argument.

"If ya want kids, make your own! I ain't going that way today though, so find a charming lass yourself if you can. Sure you won't have any trouble there, pretty boy lizard thing. Make sure to not pop into a giant dragon thing while having the fancy time though, no one wants a giant lizard in their bed. No one."

"Yes" Medaka agreed. "There is no reason for us to have children so quickly.  Lorenzo is a fine man worthy of many children, despite his own personal image.  However, I just got here and I still have much to sort out emotionally.  There is no reason to start a family when I am still so young.  Besides a world such as this is no place to raise a child.  Would you take responsibility and watch over my frail pregnant body?  I am sure this will not be our last dance with death."

Noel fidgited with Bolverk, unsure of her actions. As it turned out, he wasn't a crazy pervert after all, and she had dropped her notebook. She felt kind of bad about her previous actions now...

"Um, I'm sorry?"

Roxas watched as Noel apologized for her actions.  So he wasn't a bad guy after all.  It was clear to him now that she was simply air-headed.  He walked up to the armored creature. 

"Im sorry,  I think we got off on the wrong foot.  She freaked out when I first met her too.  I thought she was running away from some kind of danger but it's clear that you are not dangerous."

The keyblades vanished from his hand.  He looked at the walking armor with sympathy in his eyes.

Boundary Interface Prime Field Device #12

Vanguard

Before he could even react, the girl took a dashing run for it and escaped, seemingly terrified of something. It took him a bit to realize that it was infact himself the cause of her distress. And so, the enormous warrior trapped in metal stood alone, crouching and laying against a wall.

"I couldn't blame you, young one. " Vanguard muttered, a tint of sadness seeping from his voice. Yes, he had most definitely turned unsightly. And to burden her of such ugliness, he would not forgive himself.

Still, why does she resemble her so much?

After a while, the knight rose once again and decided to carry on forward, determined on finding that woman and an answer to his questions. He needed to at least make her know that he was sorry for troubling her, that he didn't mean to scare her. Then he saw a book on the floor.

Huh, It couldn't be...

But it was, without a doubt, a book belonging to that woman. It seemed she must have dropped it while running. With haste, he dashed like the devil's wind all while taking the notebook, rushing to find Noel's tracks and give back what she had lost.

Then he found her, standing with a boy of sorts. "Miss Noel, is this yours by any chance?" He asked, his voice echoing with hope to at least reach her as he held out the book to her.

Oh no! The crazy stripper was back! And wait, he had stolen her notebook. Noel summoned Bolverk and began to yell at him. “Freeze! Return the notebook immediately!  “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you law can and will be used against you in a court of say. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you...” Noel yelled at him in the blind panic of confusion and fear.

Roxas

Roxas watched as the girl freaked out at the large man.  Clearly this is what was stressing her out in the first place.  He summoned both Oathkeeper and Oblivion.  This was not an opponent he could take lightly.  Still, he wanted to know what was going on.

"Noel, who is this?  And your a member of the police?!  Whats going on?!

Medaka

The dragon dropped them off on the ground after a mysterious light struck the armored man and his undead dragon.  Medaka looked at Lorenzo, he seemed relived.  Then, his face turned cold.  He grabbed Medaka's hand and fell on his knees, crying.  It hurt Medaka to see Lorenzo this way.  She gave Lorenzo a warm comforting smile.  Then, his face transitioned from overwhelming sadness to insane laughter as he grasped Medaka's hand.  A tear ran down Medaka's check as she maintained her smile. 

The guilt that she had inherently hurt him was coming back. In her world, she was always powerful enough to take care of others.  Normally this would be the time where she gave Lorenzo a great speech telling him to not give up.  She couldn't do that now.  Her old friend Zenchichi once said that she was born to help others.  How could she do that when she could not protect one man.  In some ways she was happy.  In this world, she is no longer a "monster child" .  No it is clear that there are monsters far greater than her here.

Lorenzo then transition again into a laughter of joy and relief.  However, she could see through it.  There was an undertone of fear and sadness.  He hugged her tightly.

"We won"

No they hadn't won.  They lost and there was nothing they could do about that.

Medaka composed herself.  She was still needed by Lorenzo and she would not leave his side until he recovers.  She separated herself from Lorenzo's hold.  Then she looked at him, maintaining a warm smile.  Delicately but strong and passionately she said, "Lorenzo the pirate, you are a great man.  When I first came to this world, you promised me an adventure where we could travel the land, helping those in need.  You presented me with a grand ship, worthy of a king.  We have accomplished so much in our first adventure.  We survived a dual with darkness!  We met a grand dragon!  Perhaps we lost the grand ship but we cannot lose our spirits!"  Come Lorenzo the pirate! Stand tall!  We must give thanks to our beautiful dragon savior."

With that she turned to the dragon who had changed his form and bowed.

"Thank you very much!"

The girl grabbed Roxas's arm and began leading him to the police station.  "Wait! What? Where are you taking me? he said with a startled tone in his voice.  He heard her mumble something under her breath but he couldn't make it out.  Still, he went along with her since she wasn't being aggressive.
