Chapter 26 Escape Plan

Ven's POV

"We're not going to try and defeat them", Strelitzia revealed. "We're just going to bye time for everybody to escape."

"You'll get yourself killed just doing that", Lauriam stated.

"I'd rather die doing something than live having done nothing", Strelitzia revealed.

"Strelitzia", Lauriam started as tears began falling from his eyes. "Please. I beg you. Don't do this. I just got you back!"

After I heard this, I turned to look at Strelitzia.

"Strelitzia", I started. "Go with your brother and get out of here. I'll help out with the Heartless."

"What", Strelitzia asked in shock. "Are you crazy Ventus?! There's no way that you'll be able to handle all those Heartless on your own!"

"I won't be on my own", I revealed. "I'm sure that my friends will be there to help out. Goodbye."

With that...I turned around and was about to leave...when I heard this.

"Wait", I heard someone say.

Then...I turned around...and couldn't believe my eyes.

"Oh", the girl said when she saw me. "Somebody's here!"

She then walked closer to me.

"You're the third", she said. "I'm Skuld. Nice to meet you."

It was Skuld! Skuld was standing right in front of me!

She looked older now, but it was definitely her!

"You", I started. "You're Skuld!"

"So", Skuld started. "You remember me huh?"

"Actually", I started. "I just have one memory of you. The memory of when we first met."

"That's understandable", Skuld revealed. "It took me years for all of my memories to come back to me."

"What do you mean", I asked.

"I'll tell you later", Skuld replied before pointing to the group of Heartless. "Right now, we need to take care of that."

Sora's POV

My friends and I were helping people evacuate the kingdom.

"There", Riku started. "It looks like that's everybody."

After Riku said that...we heard a loud banging noise!

We all looked up...and saw the force field...had been broken!

"Oh no", I said in dismay.

"Mickey", Aqua started. "Xion! Help me out!"

With that the king and Xion all stood together and cast Reflecta over us.

"Can you guys keep this up until we can get some other cover", Axel asked.

"We'll try", Xion replied.

"Come on fellas", the king started. "Let's get out of here!"

Ten Minutes Later

We had managed to get to a rock for cover.

However, when we did...a single Heartless charged at Aqua!

Luckily...it was stopped...by Ven!

"Ven", Aqua and Terra yelled.

Then...they ran up and hugged him.

"Are you okay", Aqua asked in concern. "What happened?"

"It's a long story", Ven replied.

"That we don't have time for", I heard somebody say.

Then I looked up...and saw a woman.

"Alexa", Axel and Isa said when they saw her.

Then they were about to run up to her...but we're beaten by Demyx...who hugged her.

"You came back", he said happily.

"You know them Skuld", Ven asked the girl in shock. "And why are they calling you Alexa?"

"Alexa", Axel said in confusion.

"It's a long story", Alexa (or Skuld) replied. "I'll tell you guys later. Right now, we need to get out of here!"
