Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

Continuing with her attempts at getting rid of the Shadow mob that was in the process of surrounding her, Ignis wondered if maybe there was a way to at least cut the hoard off so she didn't have to deal with all of it at once. Unfortunately for her, there wasn't much that she could see, and the heartless didn't feel like letting her get a good look either. As she punched another heartless, she noticed a Neoshadow jump up from the ocean of Shadows. Wondering where in the world that thing was hiding, she got her keyblade ready. Since those things had longer arms and were in general just a much larger nuisance that the Shadows, Ignis had to try and ignore what else was going on around her for the incoming one.

As the Neoshadow fell, it flung its claws wildly, making it hard for Ignis to attack back. She put up her keyblade, shielding herself but its wild swipes. As she tried to find a way to get in through its strikes, another Neoshadow managed to crawl its way behind her and attacked by spinning around. The moment Ignis got hit in the side, she had to use all of her willpower to keep herself from losing her balance and get ripped to shreds by the Heartless in front of her. She kept parrying the flailing of the Neoshadow in front of her, and while doing so, grabbed a hold of the one that was standing behind her. Grabbing it by the arm, she yanked it forward, sending it into the Neoshadow that was still going strong, letting it attack the second Neoshadow. At that point the two were lined up nice and neat, and Ignis threw up keyblade right through the both of them, taking them out and leaving her with the ocean of Shadows as well.

She looked around to see if there were any Shadows that were available for her to knock out, but much to her dismay, the heartless had learned they could get on top of the battered bridge as well and were lining up to go after Ignis from the front. She prepared herself to fight in the small space than realized that she could try using the width of the bridge to her advantage. She light up her keyblade and used a horizontal slash, sending flashed flying toward the lined up heartless. Some of them jumped out of the way, but Ignis was prepared and flung her keyblade, taking out the ones that were jumping. The heartless kept piling up on the bridge and Ignis continued with her flames, sending them flying off the bridge and clearing the way. The ones that were technically smart enough to jump out of the way of the flames were unlucky enough to be sniped by Ignis's keyblade, letting her handle the Shadows with relative ease. But she also knew she couldn't keep it up forever. If they Shadows managed to figure out that they could get up on the bridge and attack, eventually the ones on the ground were going to think about attacking at the same time while Ignis was preoccupied with the ones already on the bridge. She looked around to see if there was any way out of the situation and realized she was basically stranded where she was. The only way out was either going through the ocean of Shadows that was below her, and while they were technically small fry, she didn't think wading through a few hundred of them was a good idea. She tried to figure out some way out of her problem while dealing with the oncoming flood in front of her, realizing that she was probably going to have to do something drastic if she wasn't to get somewhere safe to deal with these guys.

Ignis continued her neverending fight against the ocean of Shadows when she noticed that one of the other keybladers was heading in her direction. From the looks of it, it was Aislinn. Ignis hadn't personally talked with Aislinn much, if at all, as far as her memory goes, but she did know her name from being around enough to hear it in relation to who was being talked about. As she eyeballed Aislinn plowing through the Shadows using a barrier, they were separated by a number of heartless between them. Ignis lit up her keyblade and shot some flames at the heartless, knocking a fair number down and roasting a few others. There was finally a clear path between the two and Ignis took the chance and ran for it, setting up back up to Aislinn and facing the other end of the bridge, where apparently the heartless were now forming. She hadn't noticed earlier, but they had apparently climbed up on the island out in the water and were getting on the bridge from that end.

Ignis clicked her tongue out of annoyance and turned her head back toward Aislinn. "I hope you realize you might have just gotten yourself stuck in a sea of heartless with me. Long as that's not a problem, I appreciate the help. Now you better get ready, because these things don't seem to feel like giving us a break."

She lit up her keyblade, then shot out a blast of flames, this time instead of sending it out as a large wave she sent it out as more of a cannon shot. The large flame ball flew toward the heartless, and any of the ones that didn't fall down just because they were pushed off by the number of them were incinerated without a trace. While it cleared up the way for a minute, they were still surrounded on all sides with plenty left to deal with.

Feeling like it was going to get pretty boring just taking out heartless, Ignis decided to try and strike up some kind of conversation. "So I guess you were fighting a darkside earlier with Aux huh? I only caught a slight glimpse since I was busy running away for my life from a previous hoard before this one. That's a horrible way to start a conversation, but I got nothing better to start it with. Hope you got a better way to keep the talk going or this is going to be one silent bout between us and Heartless."

She watched as the heartless began swarming the bridge again. Tossing her keyblade, taking out a number of the Shadows, Ignis was surprised that the bridge at this point hadn't collapsed under all the weight and destruction that was being caused on top of it. At the very least it was a sturdy bridge, beat up as it was. If it weren't for that, Ignis may very well have been swimming with the Heartless by this point and it was not have been a pleasant experience. She looked around to see if she couldn't catch a glimpse of how the others were doing, but it was hard not keeping her eyes in front of her at the moment, what with the army in front of her ready to take her out and all. She only managed to catch a glimpse of Kaida shooting from atop a tree, but past that, she was unable to see anything else. The heartless drew closer and Ignis ended up punching it, causing it to go back and blowing up, taking out more alongside it. The blast also ended up shaking the bridge a little, and Ignis had to keep her balance.

"Okay, no more blowing up heartless on top of the bridge. From now on I'm only doing that to the ones down below."

​

The little breaks that he'd been getting in between the heartless attack were doing less and less to actually help his condition. Not to mention that the wisps of darkness that were still coming off of him had yet to stop. It also didn't appear like there were any signs of it stopping either which posed a different issue as he had no clue what would stop this from happening. All and all it was a very problematic situation to be in. A stray darkball had managed to get the drop on him from behind and get in a quick attack. An attack that didn't really feel like it did much to be honest. That wasn't just because he was wearing armor either. Right when the attack would have normally struck him, a protective field formed out of the dark wisps that were still steaming off of him. By no means was it a full on shield or anything, but it was a small area that formed in a large enough size to nullify some of the damage he'd taken from the blow. Needless to say, the darkball was beaten shortly after it had hit him. Overall it was another strange thing that he was able to do with this armor of his.

Another thing that Kel was having trouble getting used to was the matter of how he was down to using one keyblade. This, fortunately, being a much easier thing for him to get accustomed too. It was off when he'd take a stance that would imply he was using both his keyblades, but it was an easy fix regardless. This small little error didn't affect his ability to kill the heartless, which was really the important fact in all this. It had been during this time that a legitimate sized horde of shadows rolled up on him. Wasn't anything compared to the grand scheme of heartless that they were forced to deal with right now, but when compared to the other small batches that had rolled up on him, this was certainly impressive. This happened to coincide with a silvery glow surrounded him, as well as a feel another surge of power. Sadly it still didn't do anything to affect the lingering dark wisps around him. That constant reminder was really starting to annoy him, especially with how he still managed to feel drained regardless of any methods that wasn't beating up heartless and even that only did so much and not enough to actually combat the affects. Well with a horde this size, surely the affects wouldn't be too bad if he were to strike them all down in one single attack. Kel knew for a fact that he had a couple of attacks that could actually do that, but there was one again that woudl actually wipe them all out in one fell swoop. Kel slightly spaced out his feet and aimed his keyblade into the air, muttering the single word "faith" and four beams of light shot out from his keyblade and into the sky. Shortly four pillars started to rain down into the crowd of shadows, wiping them out in large suecession. Fortunately this whole magic spell didn't drain the living mess out of him with its four attacks, plus it did a lot more then what he thought it would do. It was a magic attack and magic never was one of his strong suits. In a matter of moments all of the heartless were wiped away in four pillars of lights. Said pillars that typically resulted in more heartless showing up if all the times Luna used it was anything to base it off of. Oh well, if anything did show up, then Kel would face them head on before they could get to Luna.

As Stratos had managed to cleave off the arm of the dark side he watched as it fell to the ground slowly but surely. As it did, he watched as the slammed against the ground and start smoking with darkness, slowly but surely deteriorating and returning to the void from which it came from. Before the could fully be destroyed, however, Aislinn had moved up to do her piece. After managing to cleave off the other arm of the heartless, Stratos watched as the girl slashed into the heartless's body and tore a long gash across its body, before removing the blade from the creature and jumping off of it. As she did, the second arm crashed into the ground, beginning to go up in dark smoke as well. Soon enough, both the arms began to lose their form before finally exploding into the darkness that made them up, returning back to the realm from whence they came. The body of the dark side, now bleeding darkness from both of its arms began to fall down on both of its knees, before finally falling forward onto the ground. With a resounding thud, the creature seemed to be defeated, its body soon breaking apart and turning into naught but mere black smoke. As the body vanished, there was nothing left to denote that it was ever even there in the first place, and instead the two keyblade masters stood triumphant over its lack of remains.

After having defeated the heartless, Aislinn began to talk about her new clothes and how they were now torn up. Looking at his own clothing, he noted that it was also looking a bit worse for wear as well. As the girl kept speaking about it, also talking about her own family, Stratos merely said, "yeah, I was really liking this jacket I got. Gives me some nice freedom with my arms and I think I wear the black pretty well." After stating that, he shrugged, "well, I'm sure these things will just fix themselves anyway. If you don't pay attention to it, these things tend to work themselves out." As the girl then moved back into the hordes of heartless, the boy nodded and watched as she went about her business. Getting ready to dive into the tide of shadows as well, he was stopped as a collection of neo shadows jumped out of the ground and began moving in to attack him. With claws at the ready, they began their charge towards the boy, rushing at him one after the other. The first three he managed roll backwards against, evading them entirely. The next two he dodged to the side to evade their attacks. With that out of the way, there were still seven more on him and he wasn't exactly nimble enough to avoid all of them. Waving his keyblade into the air, the boy managed to cast a spell of gravity causing five of the remaining ones to hover into the air. Guarding against the next, parrying it away, the boy then ignited his keyblade and cleaved through the final one, destroying it in a single stroke.

As he finished that one off, the others that he had evaded earlier continued to move towards him, swinging his keyblade at the air in their direction. The heartless that were rushing him suddenly found it far harder to move, being put under an intense gravitational field, as the ones he had sent skyward before came crashing down onto the ones below. With that maneuver, he had managed to destroy most of the ones charging at him, leaving only one left, being heavily injured.

As his graviga had managed to cause most of the heartless to fall, crushing each other under their own weight, the boy was able to see just how much stronger he was now that there was no dark side taking most of his attention. Whatever it was that the member of the order did - or at least he presumed that was who gave them the silver light - it was certainly a great improvement. Feeling invigorated, the boy looked towards the neo shadow that had managed to survive the power of the gravity spell, getting back up on its hind legs and standing upright. Getting ready to strike at the boy, he merely held up his keyblade, ready to intercept it on its course. However, the shadow was injured, its form barely held together by the strands of darkness that made it up, as it slowly began to hobble towards the boy. Weakly raising its arm at him, with a small sigh, Stratos lifted up his keyblade in response. With a slash from the weapon far faster than the claw, Stratos managed to cleave into the torso of the creature causing it to explode into darkness. With that out of the way, the boy looked on to see where else needed his attention.

As he looked around, he noticed that the battlefield suddenly felt much less...crowded. With the defeat of the two enormous heartless, the dark sides, there was a much needed weight that felt like it was lifted from the field of combat. Added onto that, there was also just signifiicantly less heartless. While the dark balls and Neoshadows that were moving around were definitely still plentiful in amount, he could feel like there was an end to them, and that this fight would be over a lot faster than he had initially thought. Then, there was also the shadows. What was once an endless sea of those small little heartless definitely seemed to approaching an end. While there was still an enormous amount of them, one that Stratos knew was far too large for him to count, he could tell the size of the swarm had been reduced by an incredibly significant degree. As he had been doing not much but fighting the dark side and the neo shadows, he hadn't noticed it until quite now. Looking out into the sea, he knew that Kaida had been located in it for most of her time in this fight, yet he saw two others now being swarmed to no end by both neo shadows and shadows. Recognizing them both to be Aislinn and Ignis, the boy decided he'd lend a helping hand out to both of them.

Though the distance between them was great, there was no distance that his strongest attack couldn't cover. And when it did cover it, it left a wake of destruction in its path, something the two looked like they could use right about now. With a calm breath, the boy focused on the heartless in the distance, closing his eyes as he got a clear visualization of the place he wished to go. As cherry blossoms began to fall from the sky, time began to come to a stand still. All the heartless had stopped moving, all the keyblade masters had stopped fighting. In that single instant everything stood still. And then, he was gone, appearing far across from where intitially. With a rush of force, the boy cleaved through a large wave of heartless approaching both Aislinn and Ignis, looking towards both of them. Directing more towards Aislinn he said, "this time I thought I'd lend you the hand."

After he moved forward slightly and unleashed a flurry of blows before the one of the darkballs heartless could escape. His combo hitting was successful as the one of the darkball heartless faded into darkness. The heartless around him had to have been anticipating his first step because a darkball heartless with a little shadow heartless riding atop its head had flown directly in front of him. The shadow heartless struck first with its claws outstretched and was swiftly swatted it to the side. The darkball heartlesson the other hand was more on the persistent side with its attacks and spent a bit flying around AJ, narrowly avoiding all of his attack that he threw at the heartless. When the heartless thought it say its chance to strike, it opened it mouth and prepared to strike. That proved to be a fatal mistake for He was able to dodge the attack and launch a counter attack of his own. Vaporizing the darkball heartless soon after. As the blonde settled down a bit more, he began to consider possibilities to get further out of the jam he had placed hhimself in.

With the first of the darkball like heartless having been felled, he was given a bit of a reprieve to catch his breath. As he did so he started to think of what the heartless were like here. The last time he had fought the darkball heartless, in the first wave, they were only difficult to face due to his sheer unfamiliarity with them. However, this time they seemed to be far more ferocious in nature, and not only were they more aggressive but he had felt as though they were faster and stronger as well. They were able to continually exert great pressure, greater then what he had experienced not a few moments ago, and he wondered what was going on here. And though he had only managed to fight a few darkball heartless in the last encounter, these too seemed stronger as well. Trying to figure out what was going on here he looked around and did not see much. He was soon swiftly cut off as another darkball heartless came down to attack him.

Dodging away from the attack first, he did not want to deal with another one of these things so quickly after the last, especially with the damage he had taken so far. He needed to get his wounds healed, though, he hardly expected the heartless to give him the breathing room to actually cure himself. He had to blink a few time to readjust his vision, while the now defeated darkball heartless took a large portion of the blow, he was still a bit dazed from the impact.

The first of the darkball heartless moved fast towards him. Rather than lunging at them, as they would not to do, this darkball heartless floted in a odd way towards him. As it did, two more came out of nowhere. The last two, behind the first, merely seemed to flote there, looking as if they were waiting for something to happen. As the first of the darkball heartless had finally closed to the distance. He watched as more darkball heartless began to rise in front of him. Their bright eyes illuminated the atmosphere of darkness that was laid before them. He let out a sigh time for battle. Holding his weapon aloft, he looked onwards to the swarm of darkball heartless. Hoping to try and deter their efforts while saving some of his own stamina, he helt his wepond over his head. Pointing straight at the darkball heartless and attacked them.

Of the four Invisibles, only three of them charged. The remaining one hung back to guard the summoner. The blue turtle Invisible was the only one that attacked him directly. The one with the strange wig wrapped itself in a tornado, shockingly enough. The brown, earthen one just stood wallowing in the disgusting stench of its own rotting flesh... wait, did it have flesh? He put the thought aside as he blocked the sword of his chelonian nemesis, quickly becoming locked in combat. As the two exchanged blows, Steel noticed the watery aura emanating from the blade and broke the near stalemate with a Thundaga spell. As it reeled to recover, Steel launched a Firaga spell in the direction of the undead threat. He was correct in assuming its weakness, thankfully. It was sending strangely mixed signals, what with being undead, yet earth? Undead were usually damaged by fire though. However, it was most certainly the proper weakness, since the Invisible let out a deep, angry bellow as the putrid stench of it's now burning flesh(?) could be smelled quite clearly even from his position some distance away.

However, the counter tactic of a careening orb flying towards him from so far away was a far more unexpected development. Not wanting to risk getting hit, regardless of the spells' nature, Steel cartwheeled to the side. It was very fortunate he did too, as the spell that sailed past was one that was all too familiar to him. It was a stop spell. An extremely basic one, with no purpose other than to slow the target. Nevertheless, he was not intending to let his opponents put even the smallest dent in his flow of motion. Even the slightest disadvantage was not one he was willing to take on, nor was it probable to be one he could afford. So he decided to blast the fiend with his own, more potent, stop spell. With the first fiend now frozen in time, he threw another Firaga spell its way before turning back to the blue turtle one. It seemed that it had decided to hide out in its shell rather than counter-attack him. Said shell was now beginning to flow around the shells perimeter. He decided he did not like the look of that, but it seemed that it would have to wait. The third fiend was now launching lesser aero spells at him from within the comfy confines of its tornado shelter.

Thinking quickly, Steel jumped onto a nearby Darkball. It hadn't really been threatening him at the moment, but he needed the extra height. As it struggled in vain to escape whatever plans he had in store for it, he executed said plan with a continuous downward stream of fire as he jumped up into the air. This quickly launched him into the sky while simultaneously destroying the Darkball. He wasn't able to maintain his angle for too long, but it was long enough. From his now much higher position, Steel canceled the Firaga and slowly began his downward plunge. Readying his blade, he slashed another Darkball as it drew just a bit too close. While he hadn't gone absurdly high, he had certainly gone high enough to pick up plenty of speed as he fell, momentum which the fiend felt full force when its face was bashed in with Steel's Keyblade. The attack from above had left the master completely untouched by the tornado, a construct that now evaporated like water in a volcano. The invisible collapsed as well, and Steel's landing nearby obstructed by a shadow that was quickly crushed underfoot.

Looking around, Steel could see that he had done quite a bit of damage, but there was still more fighting to be done with these three.

After the last wave of heartless had been dealt with he thought that the heartless were somehow thinning. He had a feeling that this would not last that long. He knew that soon enough somehow more heartless would come out of no where. No sooner had he thought this then over the heads of some of like five shadows, who at this point seemed weak, rose several dark balls. With a spin, kick and slash of his weapon he took the five shadows out and then the darkballs made there way towards him. With blade in hand, the boy began to make his move towards the side as a large collection of darkballs made there way towards him. Some of the darkball heartless seemed to be far fatter around then the ones he fought before. They were defently different then the regular darkball heartless. Staring at the strange creature, it looked back at him as well, a feral look in its beady eyes as it readied its self for attack. Throwing his almost dull makeshift knife at one of the darkballs. The darkball exploded lunching some unknown purple liquid out from its self. Thankfully it did not get on him. Now some of the heartless around him had a purple glow to them. He was given a short break upon the exploding darkball. After the faling of so many heartless why they still came after him was beyond him. He was felling the massive heartless battle was just beginning. To make matters worse, another darkball had floated its way over to where he was. Surprisingly none of the heartless had made an another move to attack him again yet. This was despite clearly having the numbers advantage against him. Yes he did just prove time and time again that he was not going down without a fight. It was likely that their strongest force out of all of them was there number not the strength of one heartless but one of manny. Him fight or they being gone for good would only last so long. Who made it longer it was hard to say at this point.

This one heartless was clearly sporting a cocky look on its face as it looked down upon him. Not to mentioned that it was had floated down and stared him down from its higher position. This heartless was challenging him wasn't it. It had a expressions on its face that said all of this. He would have been all to happy to take this darkball out. To take it in this challenge seeing as it clearly wanted it, but the moment he took a single step forward a good five more dark balls joined in. He let out a sigh. This battle seemed like it was never going to end. It was the battle that went on and on. The never ending battle fighting the heartless. It may have been brief, but still long enough for him to pick up another piece of bark and use that as his new weapon seeing at the last makeshift knife was long gone. He was able to deliver a devastating lunch to one more of the dark balls heartless and sending it flying back into the crowd in a fiery explosion. He was not sure why some of these darkball were exploding but he was going to try and not question it. Gripping his weapon tighter, the boy was ready to make another run at the darkball swarm that was ready to attack him. It had appeared that he somehow had managed to get the darkballs to slow down. They were slowed down for now but he knew that they would attack soon.

After bringing his blade up into a guard, he then blocked the next attack as another of the darkballs came his way. The large darkball in the distance had appeared to be amused by His attemets of attacking. He made a gesture and fortunately for the keyblade wielder, there weren't any other darkball heartless of that massive of a size. He did not want to deal with another exploding darkball heartless but it looked like that was not a potion. Instead this time he choose to play the numbers game and had the smaller darkball heartless come towords him. Eight darkball heartless were sent his way, all grouped up to make it so that he would not be able to take them down in one strike. He knew that he was ruining low on energy he felt tired. He would have to rely on his own skills to deal with this threat, which was not too much of an issue as he had done this song and dance before. Not to mention he had a few more tricks up his sleeves. While he thought on this, the darkballs and shadows seemed to merge into the one being. This was not the case but they were so close together at this point they looked like one thing. The darkballs fortunately did not seem all that smart or maybe they were and this was all so he would lower his gard. The darkball heartless was not all that intimidating of a sight by, more strange. No matter the thoughts were pushed away and he went on the offensive and deal blow. It was successful in striking down some of the darkball. His original plan was to strike away at the darkball heartless until it was gone. He had to deal with as many of the darkballs heartless as he could. As they floated his way they had fallen flat on the ground. Now he needed to think of something else while dodging the heartless's repetitive attacks on him. It may have been the same size as him, but its mass made its attacks slow and easy to dodge.

Everything around him seemed to be keeping up nearly as well as he was. He was fighting hard he could tell. There still there was hardly an end in sight. They would need to put a lot of work in in order to get any further with this fight. That being said the big threat still loomed over him in the form of the darkball heatless that was clumped together. He would need to deal with this before he was allowed time to relax a bit. Then he might be able to deal with the small enemies. As much as he would like to join the fight reducing down the numbers, left unchecked this could be a problem. As long as he could not get those countless heartless under control he should not rest. be too much of a problem. Though having their numbers cut down by some now seemed to have made it somewhat easier. He could see them start to dart around him trying everything they could do to get to him. Jumping back a little to the palm tree. The darkball heartless did not seem to be giving him any chances. He had to get a chance to hit the darkball heartless. The next thing he knew the darkball heartless came towards him. As the mass of the group of dark heartless came at him he took a few swings clearly hurting. With a few more swings of his blade the drakball heartless was gone.

As Stratos had made his way to where Aislinn was, he watched as Aislinn decided to try and show off her own skills as well. Creating what appeared to be a small ball of flame, Stratos looked on the girl let loose the orb. At first, he wasn't quite sure what it was she was doing, thinking it to only be a fire ball from a regular fire spell at first, the boy soon realized that the more he looked at the more it was much more than just that. As the orb exploded, causing a large shock wave of force and vaporizing everything that was in its area. The explosion was much larger and far more impactful than just a regular fire spell, and noting the colors of the attack, they seemed to be a brilliant mess of yellow, orange and fire. Whilsting as she finished the attack, he said, "might not be a flashy but it's just as reliable. Probably more." After denoting how well her attack went, Stratos was about to follow up Aislinn on fighting, as the woman went to go into combat with more heartless. Seeing an array of sword wielding heartless go at her, Stratos was about to go in for an assist, but was stopped by something else.

Looking to the side, the boy was just barely able to pick up his keyblade and guard against one of the attacks, parrying the claw away with her keyblade and twirling it around. Tossing his keyblade as the thing was recoiling from the attack, with a spinning strike raid, he managed to slice through the arm of the heartless, summoning it back before igniting his keyblade. Cutting across the torso with his fire strike, the neoshadow was destroying in an instant, evaporating back into darkness. Before Stratos was able to take a breather, his attention was still focused on a swarm of neo shadows trying to pile onto him. One after the other, the moved forward with their claws bared and swinging at him. And so Stratos was given no choice but to parry them one after the other, guarding and reducing the bulk of the damage he would have received from most of the neoshadows. Of course, his guard was not infallible, and instead he was taken aback as one of the neoshadows managed to snake past it, claws slashing into his torso. Wincing in pain, the boy then went to attack, pointing his keyblade at the heartless that just hit him, firing of a ball of flame into it as he said, "firaga."

After the explosion managed to fell one of the heartless, he looked back to the others that he had managed to parry. Pointing his keyblade at them, water started to form at the tip of his keyblade as he said, "Aqua Splash." Four orbs or water formed at the tip of his keyblade, launching towards four of the neo shadows, each orb exploding with an aqueous force as it hit. Dashing forward, the boy slashed into one of the other neoshadows, and began to start letting loose a flurry of slashes into all of them. By charging his blade with his gravity aura, one after the other he managed to continually slash into them with heavier than normal slashes, the impact behind them being far greater than normal. And as he managed to finish his attacks up, he had felled close to twelve neo shadows, with only one of them managing to live through the attack, still barely holding on. Stratos pointed his keyblade at the barely standing heartless, ready to keep on fighting against this creature.

After taking a few more swings of his blade the drakball heartless was gone. He soon found himself surround by Neoshadows. There was an almost noise to all the battleing. He did not think that a battle fighting heartless could be so load. It could hear Magic going off and keyblades hitting things off in every direction. Unknown to him heartless where coming up from behind him too. They seemed to be climbing over the palm tree now. Looking forward. He could spot heartless making there way towords him all he did was stand there. He knew that if he did not do something soon he would be surrounded by more heartless in a manner of minutes. He was sure it would happen soon. He did not see a signal person in the mist of all this chaos of the battle. Did they leave him or where they somewhere out there? It did not matter. He could see the light of different spells going off. Fire and lightning bolts colors filled the sky. Sooner or later he would most like get hit by a stray spell or something it was only a manner of time. Puffs of black and purple smoke filled the sky making harder to see anything. The heartless that where behind him were still getting closer. A storm was here pieces of wood flew past him and he he would not be surprised if a large palm tree flew past him. At this point he could hear voices but could not make out what they were saying when there was a battle going on. From what he could tell there was more then one which met that he was right that the others were here. Where they were he could not say but it made him feel a bit better. Soon the heartless that where behind him was about ten feet or so from him. The heartless that he could see were still making there way towards him.

A Neoshadow came up behind him and he did not see it. Moving to the side just at the right moment the Neoshadow went fast first into the tree taking some bark with it. The Neoshadow then turned and faced him. He still did not have his keyblade summoned so he could not use that for the moment. The Neoshadow then lunged at him and he gave it a good kick sending it back into the palm tree. Then then continued giving it a few more kicks until the thing disappeared. He looked back forward and heartless were still coming. Looking down and spotted a large piece of bark. Well bark was better then not using any weapon at all. He still did not want to risk summoning his keyblade as he might hurt Aux with the heartless being so close. He then bent over and picked up the bark. Looking at the heartless that were coming he threw the sharp piece of bark toward the heartless like a throwing knife except sideways. He guessed it was more like a frisbee then a knife throw. Some heartless went out in a explosion. After the explosion managed to fell one of the heartless. He wondered when things would be easy. That said when has anything been easy other then some parts of the mark of mastery. It was hard to say if there was still 10'000 heartless or not as there were still so many. He knew that by this point he got ride of 20 or so maybe. It was like a penny in the way to a million.
