After their fight against Maleficent, it apparently came to light that Xion was one of them, or at least worked in their ranks. By Xion's testimony, her memories were erased, and she can only recall a few things like names. Master Aria came to the conclusion that, although it may not be intentional, she could still be a spy in disguise. We are not fully sure what other spells could have been cast on her heart when her memories were sealed. She could be bugged, or even a sleeper agent, Master Aria theorizes. Xion claims to no longer align with this organization, but with her heart having been manipulated this way, there's only so much we can take at face value.

Unfortunately that was all I was able to learn about her before the worlds started to pull towards the darkness.\"\n\n\"Her goal, I'm uncertain.

At least, he thought he was. For the most part, he seemed to just bounce back from everything that happened in Agrabah. Dado was alive! A danger to himself and others, maybe, but he was alive! They had a target in that random flesh-colored Heartless. And it felt like they were working towards a goal. The Princesses of Heart. Maleficent. Some kind of... Organization? He hadn't really picked up all the details yet- he'd honestly been avoiding the other Storm Riders. \"Balloonra.\"\n\nGlistening balloons of warbling power danced in the air above him. Falling water bounced off their warbling surfaces, cascading radiance filling the air with a dazzling effect. It was so pretty. So truly emblematic of the magic that was now commonplace to Brad. Even with his memories muddied, he knew that his home world was nothing like this. But now, Brad's heart barely even stirred.\n\nSo he did it again. \"Balloonra.\" `1/3`\n\nHis mind fell to his heart once more. Floating in a limpid pool of crystalline blue, his senses were dulled save for the cold. But it did nothing to stave off the roiling ache that burned in his chest. All of his problems- hell, ALL problems had felt so far away when he was more focused on the day to day. He wasn't even sure how long it had been since he'd woke up. Weeks? Months? A year? No, definitely not a year. Christmas hadn't happened yet. \"Balloonra.\"\n\nHis mind replayed that scene from the Realm of Darkness. Cid being robbed of his armor. Torn asunder by that Heartless. And turning into... That. That terrible, terrible beast, claws tearing into inky flesh with reckless abandon. If he hadn't been there. If he hadn't finished it off... Would Cid have consumed the Heartless' heart? Would Cid have even come back if he was alone? \"Balloonra.\"\n\nHis mind traveled to Cid's easy smile. His boisterous laugh that mirrored Brad's own. His cavalier, free-wheeling style, but belied by experience. Someone he could rely on. The one with all the knowledge, but head screwed on straight. An agent of chaos and order alike. And seeing his refined, upstanding self completely inverted, consumed by the darkness inside him...\n\nBrad clenched Noblesse Oblige tighter, his stomach doing flips. `2/3`\n\nHis nausea only grew as he thought of Dado. His friend. Cheerful, outgoing, and one hell of a fighter. He'd never been so totally outmatched by someone, and it was so fun. Every conversation with him made him feel lighter than air. And even he admitted that at any moment, he could succumb. And the way he acted towards that weird guy and his horse girlfriends... Maybe he did. \"B-Balloonra.\"\n\nBrad's hand trembled. That Heartless, too. The weird, pale one who was able to talk and think and speak. He'd acted just like a normal person; hell, he SAVED him. Brad hadn't been worried about his time as a frog- part of it came as a relief, honestly. But it would've been inconvenient, for sure. But it was nice of him to do that. It was just that that completely upended his already meager understanding of Heartless and darkness and everything.\n\nBut if a Heartless could be nice, why couldn't they all be nice? What separated that one specifically? And could a Heartless truly be good, if, to his understanding, they were world-destroying mindless entities bent on devouring every heart they see? If this Heartless could think and communicate and do good... Did it not also have the propensity to lie? And was he complicit in the suffering of another by letting this Heartless exist- be it if he did something evil, or simply held a heart prisoner within him.\n\nBrad knew that was ridiculous. Every part of Brad wanted to throw caution to the wind. To see the good in people. If someone showed that level of good faith, especially in him, was he not deserving of trust? But Brad's experiences with darkness were broad. And seeing that Heartless, feeling the presence of shadow so close to the people he cared about. And feeling it resonate within his own heart...\n\nIt brought up a lot of bad memories. \"Ba...Buh...\"** `3/3`\n\nNoblesse Oblige fell from his hand, veins burning as they became bereft of magic.

Now watch the new strength of Nilus!\"\n\nExactly as Jeanne predicted, Nilus immediately attempted to parry the water once again, this time Nilus used Time Splicer, hoping his speed could catch Jeanne off guard. Immediately after the water spell was cast, Nilus moved with enough speed that it would almost seem like time itself stopped. \n\n```Time Splicer (Parry!) 56-146=90dmg returned```\n\nBut unfortunately, his recklessness put him right on the destructive path of Rainstorm Scythe taking the magical strike directly. \n```HP=1430-68=1362```\n\nJeanne would most likely recognise Nilus' next attack, it was the same move he used on the boxes previously, using the Winds of Zeus.
