With the events done Heart ran back towards Nathen, th two discussing how to deal with the next Heartless as Eclipsa came up to the two. “Hey, what’s all the commotion? You are awfully eager to get away for someone who was blissed out.” Eclipsa teased as she strolled up.

“Oh, sorry.” Heart said. “Eclipsa, meet Nathen.” Heart said, placing a hand on the new figure, to Eclipsa. Shoulder. “Nathen, Eclipsa… one of many spouses…”

“Half snake half pony human… eh, seen weirder on the internet.” Nathen shrugged.

“Eclipsa, this is one of my very few real friends back from earth. God sent him off with speed.

Nathen nodded, demonstrating this by in a flash of yellow lightning, ran around the two fifty times in under four seconds before stopping. “I’m fast.” They said simply with a shrug.

“Hopefully not in bed.” Eclipsa said with a playful smile

“Eheh… Not into...anybody really. Asexual.” Nathen said.

“We were going to hunt down the third Zeke Heartless. It’s at the Enchanted Domain.”

“Oh… Point me in a direction.” Eclipsa said seriously, almost scaring Nathen of how quick this flirty, playful woman went to serious, stone cold killer in a snap.

“One of them has Discord.” Heart said. “He was last with Drezke then after he and Lake reunited he vanished. These things do have Keyblades so he has to be stuck with one of them.”

“Typical…” Eclipsa scoffed before summoning Oblivion and Oathkeeper, smiling at her old friends. “Lets get going.”

With a nod, Heart opened a DTL to the enchanted domain. They arrived in the forest near the castle. “Now, where is the fucker hiding?” Heart asked.

“I’ll do a quick recon.” Nathen said, zooming off in a blink.

“So…. How did you two meet?” Eclipsa asked as Nathen ran off

“Well, my family kinda… broke into his house, tied up his parents and used his place as a hide out for a few...months…” Heart said, scratching the back of their head.

“And that lead to a friendship?” Eclipsa said with a cocked head

“Well we were both really little at the time. While yes my parents did hold both him and his family hostage they didn’t malnourished or kill them. They had TV, bathroom, food, at some point they even started helping my folks in planning jobs, since Nathens dad was an electrician and his mom a truck driver. Around that time we actually started playing and had a lot in common. We visited lots of times and I called him often.”

"Huh. Well that's a thing." Eclipsa said, having learned long ago to just accept things. "So he is basically flash huh? Heh, if his metabolism changed to match then he would love a Naga style meal. We mean it when we say all you can eat."

"I assume." Heart shrugged.

After a solid three minute, Nathen rushed back. "It's not in or around the castle." He said. "But guards have reported a supposed monster sighting in the Forest some miles from here."

“Might be our heartless.” Eclipsa said, stating the obvious.

“Alright so, uh, you two don’t get motion sickness right?”

They shook their heads, and suddenly in a blur the three were within the darkness of the woods. “Well… that’s something.” Eclipsa said.

“Felt like Teleporting.” Heart said.

“I don't mind really, having done that, it is really only dimension and time hoping that takes me half a second to orientate by my view.” Eclipsa said before getting a weird thought. “Hey, Nathen, wanna go faster without a penalty to your metabolism?”

"Ah, no thanks. My speed comes from the speed force and it doesn't exactly like it when I try and tamper with my speed or body in anyway." Nathen said. "It's a long story. So, wonder where this guy is hiding?"

"I'll guess a cave or abandoned hut/cottage." Heart said.

"My money Is on cave." Nathen said. They sped into the woods, then back almost immediately. "You have GOT to see this one…"

Running into the woods, Eclipsa and Heart both nearly froze, seeing Heartless crawling around… cubed heartless with lines of red code running along them. "Okay… RE coded sucked but it's block enemies sucked way worse." Heart said, summoning X.

"You got a weapon Nathen?" Eclipsa asked.

"Uh, never really needed one before." Nathen answered nervously.

"Take this." Heart said, handing their friend a Starlight Keyblade. "Trust me, it will be able to keep up."

"Thanks." They said, taking it as the Keyblade flashed white once he took it. Accepting their new wielder. "Heh. Lighter than I expected."

"That's everyone's reaction." Heart chuckled. "Alright, You deal with the blocks and Eclipsa and I look for this jackass. Once you're done join up with us."

"Got it. Be back in… a flash." They jokes, ruching off.

"He's got puns." Eclipsa nodded.

"He always did." Heart laughed.

Eclipsa and Heart rushed through the heartless, Nathen zooming around, hacking them just as they appeared. Once the two made it to the cave they were hit by a blast… a blast of code infused darkness. Emerging from the cave was the Heartless, darkness and code flowing over them. "Ever closer to our goal, dear father." It said with a maniacal happiness.

"Shit!" Heart yelped, dodging more blasts as it pulled out Way to Dawn, delivering a dark slash that made various more cubed digital heartless.

"I got the small fry, you take out the big bad!" Nathen said, appearing for a second then taking on the spawning heartless.

Getting up, Eclipsa and Heart began attacking the heartless. Eclipsa using Oathkeeper and Oblivion to try and keep in on the defense so Heart could land a blow, but it's speed was boosted by the code it was using. Heart and Eclipsa would not give up though.

Their attacks boosted by Eclipsa's grey, the Heartless's defence starting to break.

As the shift in dynamic was about to hit, suddenly, Heart stopped, giving the Heartless the needed edge to attack, and blast Heart and Eclipsa into the nearby trees.

"Heart, what gives?" Eclipsa groaned, looking over to Heart, eyes widening at what she saw. Hearts legs began morphing into a long snake like tail, their upper half grew long fluffy fur as their face shifted into something more wolf like, and, to Hearts complete embarrassment, their shirt broke, tearing as their chest not only grew, but six more breasts room up the entirety of their torso. "You pick now to shapeshift into a sexy anthro?!"

"This was not intentional it just happened!" Heart yelled back, the two dodging another attack, but in this new form Heart had trouble moving. "Fuck how do I stay upright?!"

As the Heartless began to swipe an attack again, Eclipsa met it, crossing Keyblades as she flowed both Grey and Code into herself. The stalemate was gaining friction, Nathen was occupied with the unending swarm of cube heartless and Heart was unable to even stand upright in the sudden new form.

Suddenly, Eclipsa heard the wisp and foosh of something shot by springs and the sound of released pressurized air. Suddenly a blur passed behind the heartless, their eyes wide as their head suddenly began sliding off their neck.

Their body began to dissolve back into darkness, and Way to Dawn returned to Heart. Looking, Eclipsa saw Erin, also wielding Oathkeeper and Oblivion. "Are you alright? We all felt Ze- er, Heart suddenly panic. I was already in the lanes between sonI rushed over." Erin said, looking around and seeing Heart, then covering their eyes. "Shit, what happened?!"

"I honestly… Don't know…" Eclipsa said with a sigh, looking at the topless Heart still flopping around trying to gain some balance. "But I think I like it."
