Chapter 4

"Wait for it … wait … now!"

Suddenly the three gummi ships that had landed opened and a crowd of keybladers ran out, summoning their respective keyblades to their hands. Mr. Corban walked out of a gummi ship a second later his right hand clutching the oblivion keyblade.

"Like I said, stay together. Find the leader quickly and take it out! The faster we find him fewer lives are lost. If you find any survivors contact a rescue group using the radios, tell the survivors to stay where they are until rescuers are there, destroy any heartless that block your path. REMEMBER if there are large groups of heartless in any area, the leader is likely there, wait until backup comes to engage it. AM I CLEAR?"

"YES MR. CORBAN"

The man smiled.

"GOOD, NOW HEAD OUT!"

As the keybladers went their own way two eighteen year olds one a blonde headed boy, the other a red headed girl ,both wearing red jackets, ran toward a woman with a green jacket. Both saluted at the woman who returned their salute.

"Kevin and Mara, right?"

Both students nodded and the woman continued.

"Alright, we are heading toward the northern part of town, remember to watch each other's backs and don't do anything stupid."

The woman turned and ran toward a street with the two young students right behind her. About five minutes later they came upon their first group of heartless, three shadows and an air pirate. With the element of surprise working for them the keybladers easily took down the shadows, although this quickly alerted the winged heartless, who powered up a fist and punched Kevin, knocking him back a few feet. The woman jumped up and slashed through the heartless' body. She then reached down and pulled up Kevin.

"Sorry Ms. Pollock."

The woman simply smiled.

"That's alright Kevin happens to everyone at one point or another. But we must keep moving!"

They trio continued running down the street slicing any heartless they came across until finally they reached an intersection. Ms. Pollock turned to the students,

"Well, which way?"

Both thought hard and pointed to the right path.

Ms. Pollock nodded and ran down the street with the students bringing up the rear. As they continued to run Ms. Pollock suddenly held up a hand indicating that they should stop. Creeping toward the corner of a nearby building, she turned her head and peered down the alley way, she quickly pulled her head back and nodded to the students.

"The boss is right there." She whispered silently, "I'll call back up, do not make any sounds and breathe slowly."

As soon as she finished her sentence she reached down slowly to grab her radio when suddenly a loud howl echoed in the night air. At once the leader leapt out of the aisle into the street and began running down it. The students had frightened expressions on their faces and were breathing very fast. Ms. Pollock looked at the way the heartless had ran and frowned.

"Strange why weren't there more guards?" She muttered. She then sighed. "Doesn't matter now, let's go after it."

Despite the different ideas in the trio's heads as to why the heartless was moving, none knew that the heartless was searching for a traitor among its ranks.
