[Setsuna is standing on top of the lighted tower in the middle of the Fourth District, her eyes tilted upwards as she watches the Spellican fly overhead and pay no mind to her or her two Dream Eaters, Maia and Phoebe. She frowns as it passes and she looks troubled. Once the giant Nightmare has vanished from sight for the time being, she returns her gaze to the Communicator in her hand.]

I apologize in advanced if this is waking anyone. The events as of late have made it difficult for me to sleep. I have been trying to piece everything that happened together, but so far I have very little. My mind has just been spinning in circles.

I have been watching the Spellican's movements for awhile now and they have not changed. Few of the recent arrivals from the mass appearance remain and I have also noticed that we have yet to regain the ability to transverse the worlds as we did before. Surely there must be a connection between these incidents. Something that Spellican has done perhaps? I'm afraid I am a little ignorant on what abilities it may possess.

[She doesn't like not having the answers to her questions. She leans against a beam and sighs.]

Do you perhaps think we should confront the Dream Eater? We destroyed the other Nightmares he summoned...perhaps instead of waiting for him to attack us we should take the fight to him? I would prefer some advice however, this would only be my third time encountering the more powerful Nightmares and I know that many of you have more experience where that is concerned.

[Souji tucks his hair forward over a few lingering lighting burns on his cheek.]

If it still hasn't changed its pattern, it'll be easy to ambush, won't it?

-- I don't like waiting for an enemy to make its attack first! That just lets it choose the time and place in its own favor.

Nor do I. There does not seem to be a point in waiting for an attack to happen.

Picking a favorable location should not be a challenge either. I take it you are willing to help then?

Oh, yes. I don't have very much experience fighting this sort of creature myself, but if there's anything I can do--!

That's alright. What about strategies to suggest?

[His expression flattens into neutrality as he considers the question.]

Ah, well, flying enemies are very difficult to hit, aren't they?

I'd start by using a net, or a trap, to pin it down, and then use the strongest weapons we have to defeat it quickly. I wouldn't like to give it any time to summon other strong Nightmares again.

They certainly have the advantage, I believe we only have a few that can reach those heights.

That's a good idea, to ground it somehow.

I would suggest some kind of trap. Its pattern is so predictable that it shouldn't need much work to make sure it's caught.

Of course, it might be tricky to build a trap that can catch it! Do you know what kinds of powers it might have? Apart from summoning other Nightmares, of course.

I'm afraid I do not, it was why I decided to ask about it over the network to be certain.

Perhaps others have some kind of magic or force we can use to trap it.

Maybe so. All I have is my sword, so I don't think I can be of very much help to you.

[And doesn't that sting to admit... but it's true. He's no magician, no machine-armored man; magical monsters the size of a house are something he's never trained to fight.]

Has anyone mentioned such a skill?

Being able to talk out ideas for this impending confrontation is more help than you might realize.

And no, as of yet no one has mentioned such a skill. I was under the impression there was a wide range of magic here though so I haven't ruled it out as a possibility.

Perhaps one of the Keyblade warriors? They all seem very powerful.

That's a good suggestion. I'll seek one of them out.

Please, let me know if there's anything Toshi and I can do!

[He smiles brightly at her.]

I'll get back with you soon if there is. Thank you for your help.

You're welcome. [He chuckles, and shuts off the device.]

Hmm, when I dealt with this Nightmare before, it went to another world after the bosses it summoned were defeated. I don't know why it's hanging around like this now.

It's possible that he might leave if we try taking the fight to him, but if he doesn't, we might be able to take him out.

[Setsuna looks thoughtful for a moment.]

Well, the portal to the other worlds disappeared. Could that be preventing his escape or does he not need to rely on those as we do? Either way, I think taking action and seeing what happens would be a better idea than simply waiting. Besides, we have already been waiting and he has yet to make a move.

I believe it is our turn.

[North appears on the screen, Theta hovering by his head.]

We've been noticing that to. There's definitely a pattern.

I'm all for setting up an ambush and taking the fight to him. Something tells me defeating him might be the key to moving forward.

Then an ambush shouldn't be a problem. I doubt defeating him would be anything but an advantage at this point. Whether it moves us forward in whatever task we've been brought here to accomplish remains to be seen, but we benefit regardless I think.

In the past, it's usually led to some sort of progress, if opening up more worlds is what we're supposed to be doing.

Maybe we should hold a meeting at the tea shop or something.

[Setsuna can't say whether or not that is what they are supposed to be doing. But opening up gateways to new or old worlds doesn't seem to hurt anything...at least things had been progressing smoothly (sort of) before she got here. So she merely nods.]

A good idea. I'll meet you there?

Sure thing.

I'm Agent North Dakota, by the way, but most people call me North. And the little guy is Theta.

[Theta waves]

I suppose despite all the fighting we haven't had a chance to properly talk.

I'm Setsuna.

Nice to meet you.

That does tend to happen when there's fighting. Hopefully that will change once it's calmed down.

An ambush is a good plan. If we can get people working together for once, we might actually be able to pull it off.

We can plan once we know who would be willing to step forward into a battle. Ambushing is a good start. What types of attacks work best for this creature or is there a way to ensnare him and then hit him with everything we've got?

According to the guide Sora put together, it mostly summons other Nightmares to fight for it and dodges. If we can knock it out of the sky and pin it down, we should be able to kill it.

It sounds like preventing its ability to summon and flee would be a key strategy to this. At least it's more information to go off of, though I take it this recent behavior is not the norm.

He might not be expecting it if we went to him. But we'd have to know what we were doing, too.

Several others are suggesting an ambush, which I believe is a step in the right direction.

Unless of course the Nightmare is using a pattern of flight to draw us into a trap of his own. Either way, a plan would be preferable which is why I brought the idea forward. We apparently have the time, but I do not want to take too long or he might change his mind and attack.

Well, it certainly could be. But we won't know one way or another until we try.

I'd like to help, but my Spirit is still recovering from that last big fight...

I see. I appreciate the offer of support though. Do you perhaps have any strategies or suggestions that might make this easier?
