Heartless Friend

Authors Note: Ansem here. This is chapter three in the series. I decided to make it longer, and add more detail and character relationship than to rush the story. The third is going to be a very deep plot. I only have gotten 2 reviews so if you are reading this please review. Thnx.

With the masters of the blades ready to battle to the end, Squall brings Riku closer to him.

"If I am gonna go down, don't interfere, this will prove who is the best blade wielder.

As Riku looks hopelessly, Squall charges at Cloud with a crushing strike, throwing Cloud across the badly demolish district 3. Cloud returns to his feet with a smirk upon his face. He performs his sonic blade combo repeatedly knocking the enraged Squall like a rag doll. Squall had taken just about enough, he arose from the ground and put all his energy into the gun blade. It started to grow in size and it shown and impenetrable light, brighter that the sun itself. Now with the lengthened weapon Squall rapidly swings the weapon not trying for accuracy but strength. He continued to miss until Cloud tripped over debris from the broken district and was hit so hard you could've heard his soul break. Squall, out of energy, shortens the blade back to its usual size. He walks over Cloud with a wondrous look.

" Why Cloud? I know Hades had given you dark powers, but I thought you had changed, but once again you decisive me. I hope your soul withers in the unholy and fire depths of Hell."

Squall walks off victorious, but saddened. He walks toward Riku wearily, slightly limping from exhaustion. Out of the corner of Riku's eye, he sees Cloud getting up. Cloud fly's up into the air, Squall turns and looks . Thoughts of death, and being a heartless ran through his head. The thoughts of loosing another friend to the heartless scurried through out his thoughts. But the one thing he remembered was he was not to interfere. Above Squall in striking position was Cloud. Riku is ready to save Squall but he keeps hearing the words. Clouds blade swings down…….

CLANK!

Riku looks up, he looks to see where the sound had come from. Squall jumps, turns around . Squall and Riku looks around and then they see, it was a ninja star. But Yuffie was dead. This was a chance of fate, or the power of his heart that some how saved him. Now with cloud in a daze, Squall performs a barrage of attacks, a relentless attack full of brutal slashes and piercing stabs. Cloud fell to his knees bloody and battered. He looks to the sky as for Ansem to come and help him, but no one came. He looks down ready to be killed. But before his blade can hit. Squall is pulled back by Riku and a figure slashes cloud, and runs away…

" This is mighty strange lets go back and ask the magician. He might know something about these strange happenings."

As the two run back to the magicians house, Ansem watches the shadow with a delightful face. Who could this be? And why did he kill cloud?
