Chapter Ten: Revolution
"I'm out Nick! Reload!"
"Sir, yes sir!"
Nick reloaded Ryker's assault rifle and handed it back to him. He then continued to move while staying under cover to reach out for a plasma grenade. It looked like a silver can with a hook on top. He removed the hook, and threw it far away towards the platoon of Heartless. He heard the huge explosion's roar and the destruction of at least one-hundred Heartless. Plasma grenades were very powerful and should only be used in case of emergencies like these ones.
"Ahhhhhhh! Help me!!!!!!!!" Nick heard a soldier cry.
Unlucky soldiers would get their hearts stolen by Heartless that would leap over their cover. Nick grabbed the soldier's assault rifle, loaded it full, and unleashed a massive flow of laser bullets on the Heartless. Many were jumping trying to get him, but he would shoot them before they did. But then came the more advanced Heartless. The ones like the police, just that these were military soldiers and not cops. They got Nick and shot him on the leg. He cried out in pain after shooting the more approximate Heartless. He then leaned under his cover and sighed. He began to remember what had happened since he joined the Seekers.
It had been a month since Nick became a Seeker—Ryker's revolution organization name. Since then, many more people joined. And there were nearly 500, 000 Seekers already. Three months in, the Seekers became official. They fought their first battle with 45, 000 men against 20, 000 Heartless police officers. Of course, they won. There were only about ten casualties. Two more months after that, the revolution really began to get strange. Mitos joined the Seekers as an undercover spy pretending to be a Heartless and three N.E.O. unofficially joined the Seekers. Meaning, they weren't Seekers but they helped them once in a while. One N.E.O. was Namine, the other was Axel, and the other was one that Nick had never seen before called Dyler. Dyler had brown, spiky hair, blue eyes, and had the ability to cause earthquakes. Namine had powers like gravitation, force field, and memory wipe. And Axel had fire powers.
Returning back to reality, Nick realized a field medic was patching his leg up. Just then, Namine entered the fight. She kicked all the Heartless that approached her, spinning in the air and making flips. She also sent them flying into the air and provided force fields for those soldiers who didn't have cover. The good thing about Namine's force fields was that the person inside the force fields could fire at the enemy, but the enemy couldn't enter the force field. Namine continued to fight her way through the massive swarms of endless Heartless like a martial artist ballerina. Nick spotted Axel and Dyler watching from atop a building and Mitos on another rooftop. Then, Mitos froze time. To Nick's surprise, the N.E.O. could still move in addition to him and Mitos.
Namine continued to fight the Heartless now that they were frozen but Mitos, Axel, and Dyler continued to watch from above. Nick took advantage and grabbed his assault rifle and shot the frozen Heartless even though it took forever for the lasers to hit them. Namine then looked back at Nick, and she nodded at him. She then disappeared along with Axel and Dyler, so Mitos returned time back to normal.
"Nick, use the rocket launcher!" Ryker yelled at Nick from far away.
"Yes sir!"
The former historian obeyed and grabbed the big metal weapon and picked a target. He pointed at the center of the war zone. Namine reappeared and made one big force field that covered her along with all of the coverless Seekers. Nick pressed the trigger. A missile launched directly out of the bulky weapon on Nick's shoulder and flew straight to where Nick was pointing. An enormous explosion ensued, and hundreds of thousands of Heartless were destroyed with a single blow. This was a rebel's normal day at war. This was the revolution.
