Chapter 10: Gone Again
Saedi's P.O.V.
The sight before us was breathtaking. I couldn't believe that the Organization would stoop so low the bastards. We looked at this legendary Heartless that stood before us at this moment. This Heartless was the definition of physical strength.
"The Armored Flame Samurai Solider."
The Heartless stood at least ten feet tall, wore what looked liked heavy samurai armor, a pair of wings on each ankle, and wielded four swords with flames surrounding them in each hand. I stood for a few seconds before jumping in the air and spun into the ground between us. We both jumped out of the way and started running toward the middle of the town so we could have more room to fight this ruthless thing. We finally reached the center with minimum damage.
"I can't believe we're actually going to take on this legend among Heartless."
Weapons in hand and our pulses racing, Axel and I were ready to take down that piece of junk. Together we dodged and scratched the armor, but that's all we did. We had to think of a new strategy, before our bodies gave out from exhaustion. Axel had lightly tapped me on the sholder to get my attention.
"Hey Saedi look." Axel said as he pointed to its chest.
"What about it?"
"Have you noticed that through this whole battle that thing would attack only once and quickly move to cover its chest?"
"I'd never thought about it. Now I know why its swings are a bit awkward."
"Ok so we know what its weakness is… now we just need to figure out a plan to get to it."
"Way ahead of you. Do you remember when I blew fire in its face? It covered its face and left his weakness opened. So all I have to do is blind it again and you move in for the kill. Sound like a plan?" He asked me with a big grin on his face.
"Alright. Go get him Axel."
He began to run the Heartless crazy before he blew a big fire ball in the Heartless' face.
"NOW! SAEDI!"
"Right behind you!"
I ran toward Axel, jumped off his head and into mid air. I was right at its weak spot. I grabbed my weapon by the chain. I began to spin with it in mid air and just when I was about to let go… Everything when hazy.
Axel's P.O.V.
My eyes widen in shock and soon tears began to sting them, threatened to fall. I saw her blood as it dripped to the floor and on its blade. Her head lowered and her weapon disappeared, in flames, she dropped it. The Heartless didn't move for a good minute or two before it flung Saedi's body out of its way. I jumped to catch her and place her on the floor. Her blood was spraying out of the wound in her chest she just received. She's crying as she reaches for my face. I remover the glove so I could scoop up some of her blood and whip two lines on each cheek before walking back to the Heartless.
"Say here Saedi. This won't take long."
I walked in front of it and pointed a finger to it.
"CAN YOU HANDLE ME?"
It jumped back and sent fireballs every which way. I was unmoved by its sad way of begging for mercy the closer I got to it. "HAHA YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THIS GREAT BAD ASS POWERFUL HEARTLESS AND NOW YOU'RE ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS? I'LL SEND YOU BACK TO THE BOULS OF HELL FROM WHICH YOU CAME!"
I blew some more fire in its face before twirling my weapons and aimed right for its chest. I used my navigation skills to command my weapons with my fingers. I made them slice a hole in its chest, I guided them inside its chest, I twirled my hands so they could gain energy by doing the same action my hand is telling them to do. Once I felt like they had enough energy, I clenched both my hands together and my weapons exploded in its chest, making its pieces spread throughout this little town. I rushed to Saedi's side so I could hold her in my arms… one last time.
Axel's Same Thoughts from the First Chapter
" It was just a normal day. When I first came to Organization XIII, I thought I would never cry. Emotions came from something none of us had… a heart. But until it was too late that realized I was wrong… so wrong.
I now hold the one girl; I ever loved, in my arms as she faded away for the second time. Her eyes would slowly shut forever. I would never be able to hold her, touch her, feel her, to kiss her. My body shall be forever numb without her warmth. My tears slide down from my face and onto hers. I leaned down to kiss them away. I could feel her smiling under my touch. Her hand reached up to caress my cheek. I took her hand in mine and then leaned back down to kiss her sweet soft lips… one last time. Her hand went limp in mine and when I couldn't feel her kissing me back… that's when I knew. I pulled back so I could memorize her face before she was swallowed by the darkness again, but this time… I knew she wasn't coming back this time. The darkness started at her feet and worked its way up. Just before it got to her chest she closed her eyes as she whispered… "I love you, Axel." And just like that… she faded into the darkness… out of my reach for ever. I gripped the ground as I punched it. My knuckles started to bleed from the hard concert I was beating it.
I dragged myself towards the castle and my bedroom. I flopped onto my bed so I could hug my pillow. I inhaled her scent…
"Soon her scent will fade… just like her."
I closed my eyes and let her scent engulf me as I slipped into sweet slumber.
"Deixas…""
