This is my first story to be published one here. So please review and enjoy! ^^

Kaine Snow

They were everywhere. I didn't expect such a large scale of strong heartless. A voice came over my earpiece, "Take out what you can, run from the rest."

"Yes sir."

I stopped running, planting my feet in the ground. I brought out knives from my sleeves, and threw them into the darkness gathering behind me. One of them attempted a kick at my legs, but I quickly avoided impact and sliced him with one of my daggers. I had concentrated on defeating the one, but the rest were slowing surrounding me. Stay calm Kaine, you'll slice a path. I killed as many as I could, but they would be quickly replaced by more. There wasn't a way out.

"Leon, I'm trapped. I don't think I can hold them off much longer."

"Hold on Kaine, we're close. I'm sending Yuffie and Rikku to you as we speak. The rest of us are breaking them down from the outside. Hang in there."

Out of the corner of my eye, a heartless launched itself at me, but I killed it with another knife. "Gotchya" It took my dagger through it's stomach. I watched the heart it held float up into the sky. A ninja star whizzed by my head. I saw another heart rising from it. Yuffie and Rikku appeared to each side of me.

"We heard you were in a bit of a bind. Mind if we help?"

"Help would be very much appreciated, but would you mind keeping that star of yours away from my head?"

"Oh. Come on Kaine, Yuffie would never hurt you."

I looked to both sides of me, my two comrades smiling, usually bad news for heartless. Yuffie picked her ninja star up from the ground. She threw it back through the giant sea of heartless. I drew more knives and hit a few more. Rikku slashed at them with her claws. We hardly put a dent into their numbers.

"Well, this isn't getting any better. Why don't we try you know what?"

They both nodded to me. We got into formation. All of us back to back from each other, covering three sides. I handed off two handfuls of knives to Rikku and drew my own needles. Yuffie drew up her small ninja stars. I drew up as much power as I could, and transferred a bit to each and every one of the weapons. All of them started to glow a deep, dark red. We jumped, using as much force as we could. At our highest point, the weapons were thrown. Small explosions occurred when the weapons hit the ground. All the heartless in a one-mile radius vanquished. Leon's voice came through my earpiece once again. He was angry.

"That better not have been what I think it was."

"We got them, didn't we?"

Rikku killed off the last remaining heartless, and we saw the others far off into the distance. Even from this far away, I felt Leon's glare on me. We were in deep shit.
