Chapter 8
"Well look who's awake." Cloud slowly opened his eyes. IV was standing over him, looking strangely serene. It took a moment for Cloud to remember all that transpired. He shot up, a few meters away he saw Roxas walking towards them, with a forlorn look on his face. Cloud felt a wave of guilt. If he hadn't been so angry, perhaps he would've stopped Roxas from losing two of his friends in one day. He opened his mouth to apologize but Roxas spoke first.
"It's fine…...You did what you could." Roxas drew a deep breath, and continued. "That thing took Xion, which means she could still be alive. I don't care if I have to follow that thing to the ends of the earth. I'm going to kill that monster, and I'm going to get Xion back." IV cleared his throat. "Very well said. I've tracked his location to another world, but it's extremely dangerous, are you sure you're prepared." Cloud looked at Roxas, who nodded his head in affirmation. "Let's go get our friends back." Cloud said.
Roxas pulled out his phone. "I've just gotta make a call." He punched in a number and held it up to his ear. "Hello Roxas." A high pitched voice greeted him on the other end. "Even, somethings comes up, I'm gonna need to take a vacation for a while ." Even responded. "Alright Roxas, but a week at most, we've got Heartless attacks from multiple worlds that need to be taken care of." "Thanks Even." Roxas hung up. IV raised his arm and a portal appeared in front of him. "Time for round 2."
