When I reach the Second District, there is chaos everywhere. Demonic
little shadows and armored creatures run everywhere, attacking a group of
three people below.Sora, Yuffie, and Leon! They're being beaten terribly,
and from what I can gather, they won't last too much longer.
With a fierce battle cry, I plunge into the lane below. Slashing my sword about, I break through their offensive line and join the three fighters.
"You idiot! I told you to stay in the room!" Yuffie screams.
"And what if I had?! You'd be dead now!" I retort, holding off little lightning-shooting bugs.
"Better us dead than you on their side!" Leon yells above the fury. His incredible Gunblade swipes back and forth, slashing the creatures in two, right and left.
As the onslaught continues, my mind goes numb. At a point, I'm not sure I'm even fighting anymore, although I can see the spillage of black blood on gray stones. My sword is covered in it, and rivulets are running down my arms.
The demons start to disperse. But one strange armored one grabs a hold on my head. His two hands are placed above my ears, and I can feet an intense beating now in my brain.
Everything goes black. I have killed hundreds of the Heartless, but now I realize I should stop. I see three large red spots in the blackness of my vision, and I start towards them.
Voices begin yelling in my ears, but nothing reaches me. Muffled moans and cries aren't registered.
I feel a severe pain in my hand, but the feeling is deleted.again and again. I feel warm blood spill over me and splatter all over my face. But I keep going.until a hard blow to the head knocks me unconscious.
Nothing.I see nothing.
My eyes can't focus. They hurt.
My pupils screw up in pain as light floods my line of vision. I realize someone is standing over me now.
"You awake?" they ask.
I start to focus in on a shape. Long, brown hair. Dark face. Leon.
I try to nod, but the pain stops me. I groan in misery as a dull throbbing starts up in my head again.
"Do you realize what you've done?" Leon berates me. "Now that the Heartless have a tag on your mind, they can come at any time, from any place. We'll have to move."
I stare up at him. Yuffie's voice sounds in the room.
"But where to, Squall? It would be crazy to make a jump with her in this state. And to find a gummi ship.this late in the year? With a warp drive incapable of exploding as soon as we enter hyperspace?! You're insane! We don't have enough munny.or time!"
"Then we'll have to make ends meet! Yuffie, we can pay enough money to rent a ship. But we have to do it now. If the Heartless show up, we won't be able to stand up against them."
"But where in the universe could we ever find sanctuary from them?!" Yuffie's voice is broken and worried.
Leon replies as grim and unemotional as he can answer.
"Mickey's castle."
