Chapter 3: Heart Mine
Xena arrived in her target world at nighttime. She surveyed the city, and was able to immediately craft the strategy she needed to gather the hearts her commander so desired. She wouldn't even have to lift a finger, since little Roxas had followed her out of curiosity, but had no idea that each of the Heartless he slew helped the Organization out. She snapped her fingers, summoning a series of Shapeshifter Heartless.
"Go, and steal hearts! Do what you were born to do!" She ordered. The monsters let out creepy giggles, took on the forms of Duelists, and began their mission. She sat down in an abandoned apartment, and crossed her legs ever so sexily. It's not like she meant to be sexy. She was just naturally very attractive.
In a matter of minutes, the Heartless had gathered millions of hearts, and they were all released to the Superior. The rate at which she was gathering hearts startled the Superior, so he contacted her.
"Xena, how in the name of Kingdom Hearts are you gathering so many hearts at this rate?!"
"This city is full of a special breed of human warriors called 'Duelists'. These warriors have very strong hearts. You can imagine how great of a fuel that is for our goal, Superior."
"That doesn't really answer my question."
"Most of them are either children or teenagers. You know how easily a child or teen is robbed of his or her heart!"
"Interesting note. Well, just avoid being caught. At this rate, it will only be a few days before our dream is realized."
"Good day to you, Superior."
"Good day to you as well."
The connection was cut. Xena smirked, and tossed an old coin in the air. She was no gambler, but she'd grown to have the strange habit of tossing the old coin. It wasn't anything special-an old, quarter-sized coin. It belonged to her original, and she knew Ena kept it for a good luck charm. Xena kept it to ensure she never forgot her motivation-she hated Fate Testarossa, and wanted to become whole to prove to Fate that Nobodies could exist truly. Then, she'd probably kill the speedy mage, whom she'd grown to call "Lightning Bitch".
I'd rather spend the rest of my life with the Savage Nymph then see the Lightning Bitch draw another breath! I don't hate many, but I hate her!
She caught the coin, and looked at it.
Heads. Interesting. I wonder if will have anything to do with the collection of hearts. Hmph. I've heard rumors of a boy named Sora who thinks he's stopping us by slaying the Heartless...He couldn't be more wrong.
Then, she looked at her device, which took the form of a silver sword. It had a black hilt, and a crimson cartridge loader. The sheath was black, and Xena's magic color was dark purple. It all matched her attribute of Darkness.
I cannot afford to lose to the likes of that child, Sora. I will train.
"Black Dragon, we're training." Xena said.
"Yes, ma'am." The sword said in her thick German accent. She teleported to the rooftop, and quickly began training. After several hours of sword-slashing and spellcasting, Xena decided enough was enough, and sheathed the sword. She looked out over the city.
Too bad so many will lose their hearts. I wonder how long it will be before I'm found out...
