EDWARD P.O.V
Xena has been unconscious for 2 ½ days. By keeping watch over her, I've noticed that her wounds have been healing faster than expected.
Her friend, Leon, decided to give me a tour of Traverse Town to try to get me to my old self, and not mourning over my actions. "Traverse Town may seem like a small world, but it's bigger than you know. Each District has different discoveries that I haven't even discovered. But there is one that's the biggest." He led me to the 2nd District, through a hidden passage way in the alley's.
It was a huge underground area, my guess, used for training. "Xena was always attracted to this area after discovering it. It contains enough room for a decent sprawl."
"No kidding. How many times has she beaten you?"
"When she was little, never. I haven't sprawled with her since then. She's not one to stay in one place for too long."
"Oh, really? How long has she been in my world?" That got him.
All of a sudden, the ground shook like a .7 earthquake was occurring. We both ran outside to the source of the constant rumbling, which was in the 3rd District. Standing before us was a huge armored Heartless. It had to reach beyond the buildings.
Leon armed himself with his so-called Gunblade, but before he could charge at the Heartless, a Keyblade, out of nowhere come's flying in like a boomerang and strikes the heartless in the face, where no armor was protecting it, and destroys it.
We follow where the Keyblade returns to see . . . Xena
XENA P.O.V
After catching my Keyblade, I used it as a cane to prop myself for I was still overcome with pain. Ed and Leon looked shocked at my arrival, but it passed when Ed glomped me in a huge hug. I simply returned the favor, knowing the pain he must be feeling of nearly killing his friend.
"I thought you were never going to wake up."
"You shouldn't doubt me. After all, it's going to take more than some steel metal to kill me." Leon walked up and pat my head like he used to when I was younger. "I don't know what I'd have done if I lost my little sister."
"Gee . . . thanks. Anyway, we need to go back. Who knows if anything huge happened to them."
"But your wounds . . ."
"Screw my wounds. I'm a Demon. They'll heal faster." I pulled my Starshard from my jacket pocket. "Take us to Alex's location." Soon we were engulfed in a bright light.
Arriving at our destination, I was just a tiny bit angry with Ed, cause we were in Rush Valley. "Edward, let me see your arm." He hesitated at first, but I saw that it was hanging by a screw. Did he really put up a struggle to put my light out? "Well, the only thing I can tell you is . . . it was nice knowing you." And I followed the beam of light to Alex, with Edward throwing a tantrum behind me.
I found her at an automail shop, and Winry was running things, from the looks of it. Seeing Alex was the only thing I was focused on. I snuck up behind her and put my right hand on her shoulder. "Hey, Al." She turned, her eyes glistening. I thought she was going to cry, but she clung on to me, wrapping her arms around my neck. Her pounce was just a little too aggressive cause pain shot up my back from my wounds.
"I thought you were gone! Your body was limp, your Unit stopped ticking!"
"It's going to take a lot more to me this Dog down. The only disadvantage I have is that I'll be stuck as a mortal until my wounds heal."
"I don't care! Just don't go any time soon!" As Alex was composing herself, I heard a loud clank behind me. Just as I thought, Winry was scolding Ed for wrecking his arm.
"Jeez, I'm more reckless than him and I can keep my arm in check." Alex agreed with a quiet nod. Winry was only able to make temporary repairs due to her not having enough, or exact parts. So we had to kill some time . . . doing what, exactly?
I moped due to me not having the normal strength I'm used to as a Demon. This is what I get for refusing to be a Full Fledged. "I hate this. I've never discovered such energy depletion. And my strength has diminished by 20%."
"You're just going to have to be patient, Xena. You'll be back to your old self soon." As we kept on walking along the different automail shops, I saw a black figure . . . no, a Nobody. It was that girl from before! "Hey, wait!" I began running towards her, not letting anyone stop me.
I chased her on the rooftops for 5 minutes until I was able to trip her with a Blood Blade, sending her to the grounds below.
I pinned her down with the tip of my Keyblade, looking her in the eye. "What the hell do you want with me?"
"I only wanted to meet you."
"Meet me? Are you a new member?"
"I guess you can say that I've been around as long as you." All of a sudden, she fell through a Dark Portal. I wanted answers, but getting them was going to be tough.
