Injury

Xion watched helplessly as her keyblade flew from her hand and stabbed into the ground. She tried to get up off her knees, but she collapsed, breathing heavily. She heard the imposter's footsteps coming closer to her and she twitched, trying to muster the strength to get back up and fight.

She felt him pull back her hood and opened her eyes slightly to see what he was doing. He pulled up one side of his blind fold and gasped before jumping back up in shock.

Xion took the chance to lift herself back up as he backed away.

"Your face... who are you really? And why do you have a keyblade?" He asked in utter surprise.

Xion pulled her hood back down. "Tell me first..." she began. "Why you are dress as one of us."

The imposter stared down at her for a few more seconds before turning to walk away. Xion winced and grabbed her chest in pain.

"To make sure my best friend... sleeps in peace," he stated purposefully. He bent down and pulled her keyblade out of the ground. "I don't know who you're supposed to be. But you can't fight fire with sparks." The man examined the keyblade closely. "This keyblade, it's a sham." He tossed it carelessly back at Xion while he muttered, "Worthless."

Anger boiled inside Xion. Worthless? A sham? He was the sham! He was the fake! "My keyblade is not a sham..." she muttered in sadness and fury."What gives you the right to say that?" Xion ignored the pain and, fueled by her anger, grabbed her keyblade and charged at the imposter.

He calmly watched her as she ran towards him, and when Xion finally swung her keyblade at his head, he ducked swiftly and spun around to hit her in the back. Xion fell to the ground and her keyblade dissolved into light.

"Find a new crowd," Xion heard the man advise her. "Trust me, those guys are bad news." Her fingers twitched as she listened to him. She pushed herself up and turned around as she heard his footsteps retreating.

"Why?" She called. "You're the real sham!" Xion clenched her chest again and panted.

The man stopped and glanced back at her. "Fair enough. You could say I am... the biggest nobody of them all." He began to walk away again, and Xion clenched her teeth in frustration.

She hated this. She hated this! She hated this! How could it turn out like this?

She let out a shrill scream before letting herself sink to the ground.

She wasn't sure what had injured her more: the hits she'd taken during their battle, or the harsh blows she'd taken to what little pride she had.
