Toximanders liked disappearing into the floorboards. Especially when it made for perfect opportunities to attack while other Nightmare types drew the attention of their opponents. There were a couple of Necho Cats and Jestabockies in the party as well. But mostly, there were Toximanders. At least the one Celestia had aimed for had been a little slow in sinking into the floor.

Sora had ranged attacks at his disposal too, but was in the same boat as York with being unable to get a clear shot past Celestia. He preferred getting a little more up close and personal when he could anyway, though that wasn't all that easy either unless he wanted to run along the railing. He was certainly agile enough to do that, but he doubted doing so with Nightmares gunning for him was a good idea. It had certainly been a bad idea in the waking world with a party of Nobodies... His Spirits were not so hung up on strategy, however. Nor were they bothered about there being a pony in the way. Jelly Bean simply ran under Celestia's outstretched wing and Bruce flew around.

Exasperated, Sora followed Jelly Bean's lead, though he had to duck slightly to clear the wing. At the least the Necho Cats couldn't evade them quite as easily at the Toximanders. The Jestabockies could disguise themselves as items and now he realized there was an edit he needed to make to his guide. Jestabockies were immune to attack when they were disguised. Crap. And the cats tended to run away, not so much to escape as to attack from a distance with magic. Also crap. Bruce and Jelly Bean chased the cats down the stairs. Sora let them go and focused on the enemies still on the mezzanine, trying to draw the Toxmanders' attention. Maybe he could provide an opportunity for York and Luna to catch at least some of them off guard, though that did assume that York even had a melee weapon on him...
