Chapter Seven
Namine p.o.v
.
Roxas lead us up the white hallway toward a pair of large white door. "Normally each floor has it countless room maze to work through. But with this leading straight to the bottom." Looking down the huge tunnel like hole. I knew this fight wasn't over yet.
"I feel light coming from down there. It's very faint, so I'm not sure how many people- Roxas!" Kairi scream as Roxas took the biggest leap of faith.
"That might mean the other are down there. I'm not going to sit around and wait for that light to go out." He is beyond stubborn.
"Listen. I know you're worry about them we can't afford to be reckless." As Riku spoke those words both Kairi and Sora join Roxas.
"Roxas, is right, Riku, and your heart know it too. The more we wait around the more the darkness well seep through." Sora made his case as the three of them travel further down.
"If you can't beat them-" I start the sentence as Riku finish it for me.. "Join them. Coe on Namine, le's go in hope of keeping the reckless ones under control."
Leaping off what remains of the each floor. Hearts racing the more the darkness swallow this place. Floor zero or floor thirteen was cover in darkness. Yet some of the white walls still peep through.
Roxas stop me from walking by picking me up. " Do not step on the vines. They are like locater for one of the heartless. If we want to make a surprise attack. Watch your step."
He wasn't joking about that as a Unverse was scouting the area. Stepping on the vines. Watching a flower form out of the black vine as it soon devour the Unverse.
"I really don't want to become plant food." Sora whisper to us as we mover very carefully toward the area where Kairi told us to go. The only place in the darkness where some light was still flickering.
"Just us ahead." The saying 'in the darkness there always lights' hold true as we came upon an area with four glowing pods.
"Roxas, hae you ever see anything like this before?" Riku ask trying not to get to close to whatever those thing were.
"No. I haven't nor did we learn about them yet." And yet I knew when Kairi fold her hand together near her heart. There's something here. Especially when two of the pods started to glow even brighter.
"G-get out of h-here." A female voice choke out.
"L-eaves n-now." Another females voice called out as more of the pods started to glow.
"T-this isn't my type of- recuse." A male voice spoke.
"Don't blow this chances, kiddies."
"AXEL!" Before we could stop Roxas and Sora called out rushing right in. Only to be thrown back a few feet from the vines.
"We need to fall back and regroup guys!" Kairi request fell on deaf ears due to some bodies reckless. Fully awaking the vines monster. None of us knew what the beast was called. Simple reason being a heartless combine together with a Unverse.
"No way! They can't do that!" Sora was surprise like the rest of us. Only being here a for a single day there wasn't a lot we could learn.
"They do now! Let's figure how to save the other before getting the heck out of here." There they go again attack without thinking as they let rage over take them.
"Ah! Let go! Someone help me." With a mere second after Kairi scream were all twisted up into the monster vines. Thorn piecing our flesh as it continue to squeezed us.
I was the first to let go of my Keyblade. The Divine Rose turn into rose pedal as it fell from my hand.
"Don't fall asleep, Namine!" I heard Riku voice along with the others.
"When I get out of this. You're so dead!" Roxas screamed were not silent even if the thorns dug in deeper.
"Kairi. Riku.. I'm really-" Sora eyes looked heavy , even his face looked paler. One by one their Keyblade fell. Fading back into light and darkness.
"I refuse to give..up! I won't." Roxas struggle to hang onto the Bond of Flames. The more the vines tighen it grip on him. The more Roxas refuse to let go of his Keyblade.
Everything look hopeless once the Minic Master appear. Slowly opening his book to copy us. I knew what was coming. Once we copies were made, they would attack us, destroying us where we were being held.
"Strike raid." A voice I didn't know come from the darkness. As a Keyblade whip past us cutting each vine that held us. Once more it wasn't a soft landing to the floor. "Move now!"
Struggle to my feet with the help of Sora pulling me up by my fore arm. " Here Kairi;s light is keeping that guy at bay."
"I have to remember never doubt the light or myself. Sorry guys."
"Don't worry about it. We're all safe-where Roxas?" Riku ask as Roxas battle cry caught our attention along with a voice.
"Your student got a lot of spunk, Master Axel. No wonder he's your favorite." Master Larxene joked leaning into him some. As Master Axel only rub the back of his neck. "How am I going to live this one down?"
"How indeed. How was it a possible for a student to out smart a Master? Was it your fault for not sensing this fiend before all of this happen? So many question that need answering, Master to enlighten your dear student or should the student enlighten you?" Walking out of the boss battle was Zexion, who disappear before all of this happen. "I smell something foul rigth after Master Eraqus and the others left. Since none of you seem to notice. I decide to investigate it myself. And look what I found. A Minic Master and its friend."
"May I suggest leaving this place before anymore of it friend come knocking?" I second Clarxen idea. Helping the injury onto their feet.
"Wipe that smug look off your face, Zexy. We had this all figure out as a part of a test." Master Axel word stop us in are tracks.
"Yeah, this was all a test. To see how well everyone works together. Seeing everyone strength and weakness." Even Master Demyx agree. If this was a test..
"You guys suck so much right now." Riku spoke for all of us by saying what we were all thinking.
"Seriously, if this was a real test. You could have told us. We all thought you guys were-" Sora voice faded as he look oer at Roxas. Who ball his hand into a fist.
"Was this really a test? All of it?" Roxas asked glaring at his Master, who just nodded 'yes'. " You jerk! I thought you were dead!" His anger got the best of him as he punch Axel right in the face.
"We all know the saying of. 'Lair. Lair. Pants on fire' but will you set your own pants on fire. Or should we help you?" Zexion along with Roxas glare at Axel. Believing this wasn't some test.
Regrouping in the main hall after one last sweep of this place. Where we were allow to rest. And yes most of us stay together, leaning on each other as we fell asleep. Myself, Riku, Kairi, and Sora. As Roxas still have his Master an ear full.
