THE MISSION
Chapter 1: Don't Be Afraid
'Hello, my name is Roxas and I was told to write daily entries in my journal. I don't remember much about my life, but I was fully born into this world. I don't remember my parents or friends. I sometimes wonder if my life would've been better or not, but I know for sure that I belong with this group called Organization XIII even if there are two other members.'
Roxas closed his journal and placed it on his nightstand and got up to stretch his whole body as he took a look at the dark sky. Outside his window he could see the lifeless city and a pitch black sky that looked as if the sunrays wouldn't be able to shine threw. He always wondered why his master chose this place as a headquarters and he's been wanting to ask, but was too afraid. He thought nothing of it as he walked out of his room fully dressed in the require uniform and made his way to the lounge to receive today's orders. When he entered the lounge he saw Axel with Xion sitting next to him while Namine sat across from them with her sketchbook in her lap.
"Morning, Roxas." said Xion when she saw him entered the lounge while he took his seat next to Namine.
'Xion is the fourteenth member, but our organization still stuck with Organization XIII. She said that she doesn't remember much about her past life. She was shy when I first met her, but soon enough she started to open up to me and Axel. She was partnered with me and I think we make a great team. I've noticed that Saix has been mistreating her.'
Roxas lead over to get a closer look at Namine's drawing. "Hey, that looks great." commented Roxas with a smile while Namine slightly blush and smiled back.
'Like me and Xion, Namine has no memory of her past life either. Ever since she's been here she has always been drawing sketches with the same crayon. She seems very intelligent, although she always seems to blush every time I speak to her. Unlike the other members, she seems to be the only one that wears white.'
"Thank you." was the only thing that Namine manage to say.
"Will you relax. It's not like he's trying to hit on you." joked Axel which made Namine blush even more while Xion laugh with Axel and Roxas.
'Axel was my first friend to show me how the work environment worked. He told me things about recon missions to dangerous missions. Axel is the eighth member of the organization, but he remembers his past life. His primary weapon is two chakrams which he erupts into flames.'
"So, Xion, do you know what today's mission is?" asked Roxas.
"No, Saix hasn't said anything yet." said Xion.
'Saix is the seventh member, but he's more like the second in command. He sends the other members out to their own mission. I don't know much about him nor do I know how he got that X shape scar on his face. I just know that he has blue hair.'
"Roxas, Xion." called Saix in a calm, but deep voice as Roxas and Xion both stood up and walked over to him. Once they were close enough he started to debrief their mission. "Today you're both going to retrieve research notes from the following researchers Ozwell E. Spencer, Dr. Edward Ashford, and Dr. James Marcus. Also, Vexen requested that you get a sample of the T-virus. Once you've got the research notes, don't read it and protect the T-virus. Understand?"
"I understand." said Roxas quickly, but Xion thought about it. Saix just stared at her waiting for her to reply.
"I've asks if you understand, Puppet." said Saix more seriously. Roxas glared at Saix, but he didn't seem to notice. Roxas didn't like it when Saix called Xion a 'puppet' or 'it'.
"Yes, I understand clearly." said Xion quietly. "Come on, Roxas let's get ready."
Roxas took his gaze away from Saix and followed Xion out of the lounge. Axel and Namine had caught up with them in the hallway. "So, where did Saix send you two?" asked Axel.
"He didn't say." said Xion as she continued to walk down the hallway.
"Yeah, he just told us to get some research notes and a sample of a T-virus for Vexen." explain Roxas.
"So you don't know where you're going?" asked Namine quietly as Roxas silently nodded. As they got to the end of the hallway Xion took the left hall while Roxas took the right. Axel followed Xion while Namine followed Roxas to his room. "I hope you complete your mission."
"I'll be alright." said Roxas as he opened his room door and let himself and Namine in. Namine took a seat on his bed while Roxas went over to his storage cabinet. Roxas over look the self and took a couple of Ethers and Hi-potions and put them into his pocket. "Xion watches my back and I watch hers."
"I know Xion can take care of you." said Namine with a smile. She stayed quiet for a moment and finally spoke. "Would you view someone like Xion as the ideal type of girl?"
Roxas thought for a moment, "What do you mean?" asked Roxas as he look Namine in the eyes.
"Well, it's just so hard for me to reach her level." said Namine as she quickly looked away from Roxas' confuse gaze and turned red.
"I think you should just be yourself." said Roxas as he gently placed his hand on Namine's shoulder and turned her around to get a better look at her face. "Besides I like you the way you are. Your hair, your smile, your eyes, and your lips." Namine blush even more and looked away from Roxas, but he pulled her face back to his. Namine was shocked that Roxas had placed his lips on hers, but she soon calmed down and kiss him back.
'Xemnas had told me that we had no hearts. Because we had no hearts, we had no emotions. He referred us as Nobodies, but as I got to know Namine more; I've had this strange feeling that just build up more and more.'
Roxas back away from Namine so that he could breathe. "I'm sorry. I've never done that before." apologize Roxas out of breath. Namine stared at him as if she didn't mind and walked closer to him and wrapped her arms around him and smiled back at him.
"You have begun to fall in love with me?" asked Namine as Roxas had this confuse look that Namine had to laugh about. "You never heard that word before?"
"No." said Roxas truthfully.
"It's kind of hard to explain." said Namine as she though of an example. "We as Nobodies have no emotions, but I've felt like you and me are different. I guess love is a desire for someone and I've had this desire to be with you that I feel like my strength is gone and my senses are reeling. As if I were about to melt with you."
"I see." said Roxas as he thought about his time with Namine. "So that's what that feeling was." Roxas lead closer to Namine again and kissed her until they heard a knock on the door.
"Roxas are you ready?" called Xion.
"Yeah." said Roxas and looked back to Namine. "I have to go." Namine smiled and took Roxas hand and placed a star in his hand. "Hurry back."
Roxas put the star charm into his pocket and left the room. Xion noticed that Roxas was happy as she follow him back to the lounge. Once they were back into the lounge Saix was ready to open the Corridor. As soon as he was about to open the corridor Roxas spoke. "Where are we going?"
"Raccoon City." said Saix as he opened the Corridor. "Head to the Umbrella Corporation, you'll find what we requested."
Roxas step through first then Xion. Once they were gone, Saix teleport himself to the spiral chairs where Xemnas had always been. "Roxas and Xion just left." reported Saix.
"I see." said Xemnas calmly.
"Why would you send them to a place where they're completely powerless?" asked Saix.
"To test which of them is the most superior." said Xenmas as he placed his right hand on his chin. "One of them could be useful too accomplish our main goal."
Raccoon City
Roxas and Xion ended up on a deserted street. Everywhere they looked there were cars that crashed into each other with some that where still burning. "What happen here?" asked Xion as she looked down the street and saw nothing.
"I don't know, but let's hurry and get out of here." said Roxas as he started to walk towards down a lonely street.
"Wait." said Xion stopping Roxas in his tracks. "We don't know anything about this place. We don't even know where the Umbrella Corporation is at. Shouldn't we at least find a map or ask for direction?"
"Who are we going to ask?" said Roxas as he looked around. "There isn't anybody around."
"Well, can we last least look for a map?" asked Xion sounding annoyed. Roxas took another look around and saw a phone booth.
"I guess that phonebook is a good place to start." said Roxas. Xion followed Roxas to the phone booth and he search for the Umbrella Corporation and found it. "What street are we on?"
Xion looked towards the intersection and turned back to Roxas. "We're on 7th Ave."
"Good the company should be located towards the east from here." said Roxas as he closed the book. "We just have to follow this road and stay on the this street. It should lead us all the way to the state capital."
"That's just great." said Xion feeling disappointed. "I didn't even wear my walking boots."
"The sooner we get there, the sooner we can leave." said Roxas as he lead the way and Xion followed. They continued down the lonely street walking for miles and miles. Along the way they saw no one insight; not a single person or cats and dogs. Roxas was a little concern about Xion when he started to notice that she would stop and continued walking until she had to stop again. "Okay, this is getting ridiculous." said Roxas as he stop while Xion looked at him strangely.
"What's wrong?" asked Xion.
"Take your boots off." said Roxas as he lead Xion to a nearby bench.
"I'm quite alright." said Xion trying to reassure Roxas, but he wasn't convince. "You don't need to worry about me."
"Take your fucking boots off." said Roxas more seriously. Xion look at him and finally did as she was told. "Your socks too." Xion slowly and carefully took off her boots and socks while Roxas examine her foot. "You got blisters on the bottom of your heels." said Roxas as he took out a bottle of healing water and poured it on her foot, but as the water came in contact with her foot she flinch.
"Ow. That healing water isn't really working." said Xion with a painful expression on her face.
"Not working?" said Roxas as he stood up and took a seat next to Xion and thought for a moment. "We don't know anything about this place, but I wonder." Roxas stood up again and saw a car that was on fire. "Freeze!" shouted Roxas as he held his hand out, but nothing happen. "What?"
"Let me try." said Xion when she found a tree nearby. "Fire!" she shouted with her hand out, but like Roxas, nothing happen.
"It can't be." said Roxas as he paced back and forth. "We're completely powerless."
"We need to get back to the castle." said Xion as she put on her socks and boots and tried to stand up, but had to sit back down due to the pain in her feet. "Open the corridor."
"I can't." said Roxas as he stared down at Xion. "If we're powerless then we have no way of returning back." Roxas looked at Xion and saw the fear in her eyes. He sat back down on the bench and let out a huge sight. "What a fucking mess." he said. Xion stayed quiet as they both tried to come up with an idea.
"The sooner we get there the sooner we can leave." said Xion as she stood up again and held her hand out. "Ready?"
"Yeah, let's get going." said Roxas as he took her hand.
"You'll need to carry me." said Xion with a smile while Roxas sights again. Roxas walked the rest of the way with Xion on his back. The trip to the Umbrella Corporation was a lot longer then it seemed, but even though Roxas was getting weaker and weaker, he kept moving. As they entered the 33rd Avenue it was already night. Roxas walking pace had slowed down and Xion was getting concern and suggested that they spend the night in a nearby abandon store. Roxas saw it and walked towards the store. When they were inside Roxas put Xion on the floor and collapsed next to her.
"You need to lose some weight." joked Roxas as he breathed heavily.
"Fuck you." said Xion a little annoyed. She looked around the store and as usual no one was there. "I wonder what happen here."
"Something bad. That's for sure." said Roxas while looking up at the ceiling as he could feel his eyes getting heavy. "Maybe we'll find out tomorrow."
'As I laid on the floor I kept thinking about how we were going to get back home. Plus, it didn't help that Xion's feet had blisters and that our potions didn't work. Saix didn't explain everything about this world and I feel like a fool for thinking too lightly. By now Namine is probably worrying about me. I kept thinking about Namine as I stroke the star charm that she gave me to keep for good luck and after I'm done with this mission I'll give it back to her.'
"I wonder if their's any food here." said Xion as she turned and saw Roxas fasted asleep. Xion examine Roxas face closely and smiled as she laid down close to him and snuggled closer to him. "Good night, Roxas."
World That Never Was
Namine sat in her room, just finishing a drawing of Roxas and Xion holding their keyblades. She placed the drawing next to other drawings of them casting fire, ice, and lighting. On another pile was a drawing of their potions that were turned to the sides as if being poured out, but nothing came out. Namine had a sad expression on her face while Saix over looked the drawings. "You've done these well. Xemnas had requested that you make them forget how to used their powers."
"I'm sure he won't be disappointed." said Namine while not looking at Saix.
"I hope not." said Saix taking the drawings and Namine's sketchbook and left her room. As soon as he left Namine crossed her arms on her table and cried into them. Saix turned the corner of the hall and notice Axel leaning on the wall and stopped.
"So, Xemnas wanted to test Roxas and Xion." said Axel not looking a Saix.
"What are you doing here." said Saix.
"I just happen to be standing here." said Axel with his head still down. "Isn't that Namine's book."
"It is no concern of yours." said Saix as he continued walking down the hallway leaving Axel to think to himself. Axel stood straight up and went quietly over to Namine's room and softly knocked.
Namine sat back up and wiped her tears away. "Come in." she said quietly. Axel slowly walk into her room and stood next to her.
"I just saw Saix with your book," he began. "Are you okay? Your eyes are a little red."
"Yeah, everything is alright." smile Namine as Axel took a seat next to her.
"I may not have emotions, but I do remember crying." said Axel. "I can pretend, but it's not real. What happen?"
Namine looked at Axel and started to think, then finally spoke. "Xemnas had ordered me to make Roxas and Xion forget how to used their powers. As soon as I finished Roxas had lost everything and is now endanger. I do even know where's he at or if he's okay."
"There has to be more to their mission." said Axel as he started to think. "Right now he and Xion can only relied on their skills?" Namine silently nod. "Something doesn't seem right about the world that they were sent to."
Raccoon City
Roxas woke up when the bright sun warmed his face and sat up to look around. Xion wasn't around and Roxas quickly got up and looked around and saw her by a row of clothes without her black jacket wearing different clothes.
"Morning, Xion." said Roxas. Xion looked at Roxas and smile.
"Morning." she said as she looked at different shoes.
"Are you ready to go?" asked Roxas while Xion tried on a pair of black tennis shoes. She seemed satisfied with her choice and put her jacket back on and zipped it up.
"Yeah, but first we'll need some supplies." said Xion as she handed Roxas a duffle bag. "Since we're both powerless we'll need weapons."
Xion lead the way and Roxas followed her as she got a box of first aid kit, two machete, hydrated food, and a case of water. Xion then got some other items that Roxas question in his head.
"Why are you getting those?" said Roxas as Xion continued to place the items into the bag.
"Home made explosives." said Xion as she place the last item in the bag. "There's a kitchen in the back of this store, but this will take time to make these."
"Really, why?" asked Roxas as he follow Xion to the back.
"We need to be careful when mixing these, other wise they'll be dangerous." explained Xion.
"How do you know so much about this?" question Roxas.
"I'd asked Xigbar about explosives." said Xion. When they reach a door Xion opened it and told Roxas to place the items on the counter while she fired up the stove. Roxas asked if she needed help, but she decline, so he just stood back and watched her handy work. A whole hour had passed and Xion had ten tubes of explosives. "Okay these tubes don't need to be lit, so just throw them and they'll explode on impact. So you might need to be careful with them."
"Okay, I understand, but how are we going to carry them?" asked Roxas. Xion took out a large strap with slots and gave one to him.
"We'll carry them in these." said Xion while placing the tubes inside the slots. "They have buckles so we can wear them on the waist or across the chest. We'll each get five."
"Shall we get going." said Roxas as he put the belt on his waist while Xion put the other across her chest. Once they were outside they continued down the street and as usual no one was in sight.
"You know I've been thinking about something." said Xion as they continued walking. "Once we get to the Umbrella Corporation, what's the plan."
"Are you still considering on finishing the mission." said Roxas looking at her. "Xemnas left us out here powerless, we've been abandon."
"I know, but what other reason would they want with notes and a sample when there's no one here?" question Xion. "I think we should go there and read the notes."
"I'm not certain about that, but it's not as if Xemnas is going to find out." said Roxas with a smile while Xion smile along with him. Roxas looked ahead and saw 43rd Avenue. "We're here."
Xion looked up at the sign while Roxas looked at the skyscraper. "This place is huge." said Xion in awe. "Okay, I guess we'll used the front door."
"It doesn't look like anyone is here either." said Roxas as he and Xion walked up to the building. As always no one was in the building while the only two people let themselves in. Roxas look around the empty lobby and found a hallway full of elevators. "Xion! Over here!" called Roxas while Xion ran across the lobby as Roxas press the only button that was by the elevators. "Why is there only one button?"
"That's strange." said Xion as they both heard a bell ding and got in the elevator. Xion looked at the buttons and saw only two buttons; the main floor and B18. "This place is really strange." and press B18.
"I got a bad feeling about this." said Roxas as he took out his machete. Xion did the same thing, also getting the same feeling. The elevator ride lasted for at least a minute until the bell ding. The doors slid open and they both step out. "What the fuck happen here?"
"This place is a lot more messier than outside." said Xion seeing broken equipment and scattered papers littering the floors while Roxas went to explore the office.
"Xion, I found some people." said Roxas standing by a sealed room that was flooded with water. Xion got a closer look at what Roxas was staring at. Inside the room were men and women that were floating right side up.
"Holy shit." said Xion in horror.
"Let's just find those notes and get out of here." said Roxas walking to the end of the office. Xion examine the bodies of the people that were trap inside the room until Roxas called out to her. Roxas found a map of the whole building as he over looked it Xion went into a lab that had a computer and turned it on. Roxas came into the lab with the map in his hand. "This whole lab is underground and there's nothing above the main floor. So what's the point for the skyscraper?"
"Maybe the company wanted to blend in with the crowd." said Xion as she tried to hack the computer. "We got skyscrapers, but no one lives in them. Hey! Hello."
"Good your in. See if you can find the research notes." said Roxas as he lean closer.
"Yeah, okay, but first let me check my e-mail." joked Xion as she typed in the keys, but nothing came up.
"Stupid computer." said Roxas as he hit it.
"Stop that. Your just making thing worst." said Xion as she took over again. "Great what did you do?" Xion looked at the files and quickly read through it. "I think you found it."
"I didn't know that would work." said Roxas while scratching the back of his head.
"Look at this. This entry was from Dr. Marcus, 'September 19th: At last...I've discovered a way to build a new virus type with Progenitor as a base. Mixing it with leech DNA was the breakthrough I needed... I call this new virus t, for tyrant.'"
"Tyrant." said Roxas as he thought for a moment. "What else does it say?"
"Dr. Ashford wanted to used the virus as a cure for the handicapped, but Mr. Spencer wanted it used as a bio-weapon." said Xion as she started to think with Roxas.
"Vexen wanted a sample of this virus, but for what reason?" said Roxas as he took a seat.
'Saix said that Vexen wanted a sample, but I'm starting to believe that Xemnas wanted it for his own purpose. But if Xemnas did used the virus, then would our world be destroyed like this one?'
"Make some copies and lets get out of here." said Roxas as Xion did as she was told and made a print out. She then typed in T-virus.
"I'll be right back." she said as she rush into the next lab while Roxas waited for the printing to finish. Xion had finally came back with a small briefcase as the last of the files had finished printing. "Good it's done. Now, I'll just shut down the computer."
"Just leave it. Come on. Lets go." said Roxas, but Xion didn't listen as she shut down the computer. When the computer shut off the whole power went off as Roxas and Xion sat in darkness until they both heard a loud siren. While the siren sounded the emergency lights went on.
"All personal please make your way to the emergency exits. This is not a drill."
"And I thought, I caused problems." said Roxas while grabbing Xion hand and pulled her out of the lab as they both made their way back to the elevator. Once they were back in the office they ran full speed towards the elevator.
"Emergency! Opening all lock doors! Please make your way to the emergency exit."
Roxas and Xion crossed the sealed room as the doors opened automatically letting the water and people out. Xion covered her nose and so did Roxas. "Agh, that sinks like shit." complained Xion as she press the button.
"Xion, I don't think that's the water." said Roxas as he stared in horror at the dead bodies standing up. Xion was shocked to see these people that were dead were now alive.
"Were they alive all this time?" said Xion.
"No. they're still dead." said Roxas. "But I think we should get the fuck out of here." the elevator door slid open and Roxas took Xion by the hand and pulled her along with him into the elevator and press the main floor button. The ride up to the surface took another minute as Roxas tried to explain to himself what he just saw. "That's not fucking possible."
"I know." said Xion in agreement. "What the fuck happen to them."
Roxas scan through the notes hoping to find an answer. "Listen to this, 'The Tyrant virus allegedly operates similarly to most other RNA viruses, but also has the abilities to reanimate dead tissue, to substantially mutate its host, and to infect nearly any tissue in any type of host. It animates dead tissue by replacing mitochondria in infected cells, thereby providing it with a source of energy to fuel viral creation. It then spreads, eventually reanimating tissue responsible for motor and lower brain functions. By specifically animating certain tissues, most of the body's usual processes, such as heart muscle contraction, are made redundant.' so, those people were dead, but the virus brought them back to life. How did they get infected?"
"Mr. Spencer wanted to use the T-virus as a bio-weapon." said Xion while scanning through the notes. "Look right here, 'as it is always easier to transmit infections via open wounds and body fluids, this could explain the need for hosts to exhibit aggressive tendencies. Alternatively, should a hosts' brain still be functioning, viral infection and damage to the frontal lobes could account for increased aggression, and an imbalance of hormone regulatory signals that normally control the signs of hunger could result in their tendencies to attack by biting their victims.' it still doesn't explain how those people got like that."
"Does the notes say anything about any volunteer?" asked Roxas while looking through the notes. "Their was a volunteer, 'It produces rapid and uncontrollable mutation in a host's genetic code, but the mutations were not coordinated enough to produce effective BOWs.' so their was more than one volunteer."
"BOWs?" question Xion.
"Bio-Organic Weapons." said Roxas as the elevator slowed down and finally ding letting the doors slide open. Roxas and Xion quickly ran out of the elevator into the lobby and finally out in the streets. "We have to get back to the portal."
"Lets make a run for it." said Xion as she ran ahead while Roxas kept up with her.
The World That Never Was
Xemnas sat in his chair thinking to himself as usual until Saix showed up. "Roxas and the puppet have the research files and the sample." reported Saix. "There heading back to the portal."
"How about we make things interesting for them." said Xemnas. "Open the Corridor inside the lab, so that it will lead back to their portal. Also, give them their powers back."
"It will be done." said Saix disappearing from the spiral chairs and teleport himself to Namine's room with her sketchbook in his hand. Namine sat quietly by her window looking out at the city. "Namine, Xemnas has requested that you give back Roxas and the puppet's power." He then place her sketchbook on her table while she got her crayon and got to work.
Raccoon City
"Come on, we're almost there!" said Xion out of breath. Roxas was starting to fall behind but he still kept up with Xion. They just passed by 9th Avenue and were almost at 8th Avenue as they kept running to 7th. "We'd made it! The portal is just around this corner."
Roxas and Xion ran around the corner until they stop, "Oh, Fuck!" said Roxas as he stared the people that they left behind in the lab. "How the hell did they get here so fast!" Xion and Roxas took out their machete and quickly thought of a strategies. "I'll go left while you go right."
"Okay I'll go right while you left, right?" asked Xion.
"That's the plan." said Roxas as he threw a tube at the crowd of people that exploded and charge first to the left while Xion went right hacking at the nearest person to them as they made their way to the portal until things got worst when they were surrounded. "Okay back to back" instructed Roxas as he and Xion stood back to back defending themselves. They both defended themselves in a circle as they danced gracefully with the machete in their hand until Roxas notice that the ones that he had cut down were getting back up without their arm while other that were split in half at the waist or had no legs started to crawl and they all made these horrible moans. "Xion we got a fucking problem."
"Yeah, I notice. They're zombies" said Xion. "You go high while I go low."
"Got it." said Roxas as he spun in a high circle and jump over Xion while she spun in a low circle. When Roxas landed he gave Xion his machete and grabbed her by the legs and spun her in a full circle while Xion did figure 8s with their machete. "Ready, Xion?"
"Ready!" she yell while Roxas spun faster and faster, than finally let Xion go while she curled into a ball holding their machetes to her sides. Roxas didn't have a weapon so he started to throw the tubes as he made his way back to Xion. Xion uncurled and dropkick a zombie to stop her movement and started to defend herself while making her way back to Roxas. When they finally got back to each other Xion gave Roxas his machete and they stood back to back again.
"Why haven't you used your explosive?" asked Roxas.
"I'm waiting for the right moment." said Xion as they both continued to hack and stab the nearest zombies. Their battle lasted for ten minutes, but the zombies never died even though some had lost all their limbs "Don't let them bite you!"
"Why the fuck would I let them bite me?" asked Roxas while he continued to defend himself. Xion would also cut and slash at the nearest zombie while they made their way to the portal. Roxas split a zombie in half while another one came from behind it, but before it could bite him, Roxas quickly chopped it's head off. "Cut their heads off."
Xion did as Roxas instructed and they both started to cut off the heads. In the mist of the battle, Xion could feel something was different. "Roxas, my hands got cold." she said when they regrouped back to back.
"So did mine." said Roxas as he put his machete back into his sheath and put his hands on the ground. "Freeze!" he yell as a series of icicles sprung up off the ground stabbing each of the zombies in one straight line. "Xion, lets try the blizzard."
Xion nodded and threw her machete into a nearby zombie's head and quickly turn around and created a snowball while Roxas added more ice. Roxas and Xion only tried this method once the snowball that Xion created would expand, but when Roxas added ice it became unstable to the point that it would explode. "Keep going." said Xion as she felt the cold air sting through her and Roxas until the snowball exploded creating a large sphere shield that froze all the zombies. "Cover your ears."
Roxas smiled and cover his ear while Xion let out a loud banshee scream which shattered the ice and the frozen zombies. When Xion stop screaming Roxas uncovered his ears. "You sure you know to make an entrance." said Roxas as he gave her a high five. "Come on lets get out of here."
As the two friend were about to leave, a car that was nearby the portal exploded. Roxas and Xion quickly turned around, but quickly dodge an oncoming missile. "Roxas, I think we missed one." said Xion as she and Roxas ran for cover. They both ducked under a large truck and waited. "Can you see if he's getting close?" whispered Xion.
"I can't tell, hold on." said Roxas as he ripped a side view mirror off a car and used it to look around the corner of the truck. "It looks like a man, but I think it's some kind of monster."
"Let me see." said Xion while taking the mirror and looked through it. "It looks like he carrying a mini-gun and a rocket launcher. Oh Shit!" Xion grabbed Roxas and ran with him to the nearest car and ducked behind it while the truck exploded.
"Thanks." said Roxas out of breath.
"It not over yet." said Xion again, but this time Roxas moved along with her as the car blow up behind them. "He shot his rocket launcher four times, so he should be almost out."
"What about his other weapon?" asked Roxas.
"We have to keep moving when we go up against that." said Xion as she and Roxas took off running again to another car while they both heard machine gunfire. "Don't stop! Keep moving!"
They both kept running using the nearest thing as cover then moved again. Roxas ducked behind a car while Xion took cover by a news stand, but then the news stand was being tore apart piece by piece. "Xion! Used a tube!" shouted Roxas while Xion took off her strap and looked in the mirror. "Will you fucking throw it!"
"Not yet!" shouted Xion while the news stand got smaller and smaller. Xion looked in the mirror as she tried to judge the distance. "Roxas! Distract him!"
Roxas quickly stood up and cast a lighting bolt at the monster and got his attention while Xion quickly threw her strap of explosive at the monster creating a huge explosion. Roxas and Xion stared at the monster as it laid still. "I think you got him." said Roxas smiling at Xion.
"You were great too." said Xion as she and Roxas walked back to the portal. As they got closer to him, Roxas stop and turned him over to make sure he was dead. "Come on, Roxas. He's dead."
"Just making sure." said Roxas as he examine his face. The monster had his upper and lower lips remove plus his whole nose was gone. "Your one ugly motherfucker." Roxas stood back up and walked with Xion again until they both heard a low growl and stop walking and turn around. "Doesn't this guy ever give up?" said Roxas as he and Xion both summon their keyblades and though of a new strategy.
The monster stood up walked over to a parking meter and ripped it out from the ground. He looked down on them while they looked up to him as he made another growl. "Lets surround him." suggested Xion. "I'll attack from behind while you attack from the front."
"Got it. Ready…go!" said Roxas as he and Xion both charge the creature. Xion used a burning car for support as she flipped over the creature and stood behind him and quickly slash at him, but he manage to capture her keyblade and threw it aside along with her. It then turn its attention to Roxas and swung it weapon at Roxas, but he dodge it's attack and attacked with an upward stroke cutting the creature face. The creature staggered back and growl at Roxas when Xion attack it from behind knocking it to his knees. Roxas saw his chance and stabbed the creature in the heart, but it still didn't die.
The creature then grabbed Roxas by the throat and choked him while Roxas tried to break free by kicking the creature in the face. Xion tried to help by stabbing it in the back, but that didn't help as the creature stood up while holding Roxas and grabbed Xion by the throat also.
Roxas was about to pass out until he got an idea, "Xion…firecracker." said Roxas weakly as Xion nodded and they both raise one hand towards the creature's head. "Now." They both cast fire to create a small explosion that blew up the creature's head and they all fell down together.
Roxas and Xion gasped for air and cough. When they started to breathe normal again, Roxas stood up and took his keyblade out of the creature and also got Xion. "That was close." said Roxas with his horsed voice.
"Yeah." agreed Xion as she stood up and took her keyblade from Roxas. "Now can we leave before he grows his head back." Roxas nodded and open the Corridor, but this time they went through together.
'We had escaped Raccoon City alive, but what reason did Xemnas have for the T-virus, was he planning to used it to reach our goal, would he be human instead of a Nobody. Whatever the reason, I didn't want to be involve nor did I want my friends to be in the middle. I have a feeling that the horror isn't over yet.'
