Chapter 9

Nothingness

"Watch out! Five more coming from the right!" Hexclar yelled as the battle raged on. So far, they had eliminated countless numbers of Heartless, and yet they still were coming. She slashed at a Shadow as it appeared from the ground. If they don't stop coming soon, we'll have to find another way out.

"Rrrrraaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh!" Hexclar spun around as she saw a giant wolf-like Heartless emerge from a corridor behind them. She noticed Atoxkal also spin around. About twenty feet behind him, an Invisible emerged from the Darkness.

"Behind you!" Hexclar yelled to Atoxkal. He spun around to face the Invisible right as it hit him with an orb of Darkness. Atoxkal grunted as he recovered from the blow and went to strike back at the Invisible.

Atoxkal turned to Hexclar for a second. "Watch out! The giant Heartless is almost here." Hexclar nodded and turned to face it. Wind. Hexclar thought as she prepared to attack.

Hexclar threw one of her sai, guided by the wind, towards the Heartless. It tried to dodge, though its front left paw was hit. "Grrrrrrr…" The Heartless responded to the attack by charging forward and swiping a giant claw at her. Hexclar summoned the wind to block its attack.

As she blocked, she noticed two more Invisibles joined the battle. Is this never ending? She went to stab towards the Heartless. While she did that, she quickly scanned the surrounding area to see if there was an escape route. There! Hexclar turned to Atoxkal while blocking the Heartless's next attack. "Atoxkal! Down this way!"

Hexclar summoned the wind to push the Heartless into the wall, to serve as a distraction. Atoxkal slashed at one Invisible and used fire to distract the other two. Both of them then dashed down the corridor Hexclar found. They both quickly used fire and wind to close the doors. "Good eye, my friend. We would have been stuck if this escape wasn't found."

The door slammed shut as Dirxaen and Xanaki were only a couple yards from it. "Gah! This is just great!" Xanaki yelled as she and Dirxaen turned to face the Heartless that were coming from behind them.

One of the Heartless dashed towards Dirxaen. He was able to jump out of the way in time. Xanaki shot a wave of wind towards the Heartless and Dirxaen shot some of his poison to mix in with the wind. "This can be a short distraction, but it'll probably not last for long. You see anyway out of here?" Dirxaen asked as he infused some more poison into the wave of wind.

Xanaki looked around. She saw a gap in the wall to their left. "There!" she pointed at the gap. Dirxaen nodded and started towards the gap. After shooting one last wave of wind at the Heartless, Xanaki followed.

After they made their way through the gap, Dirxaen turned and yelled, "Now, we need to seal it so they can't get through!"

"Yeah, yeah. I know!" Xanaki shot a blast of wind at the gap and Dirxaen shot a blast of poison at it. "Don't need reminded why I hate Heartless…" Xanaki growled as they destroyed the gap.
