Xayne walked the twisting corridors of Hollow Bastion. Her black boots kicking up dust and other loose matter sitting on the floor. Her tight black jeans hugging her legs as she walked matched with a red tank top, the symbol for 'Forsaken' in white. Black ribbon wrapped up her left arm and a collective of black bracelets and silver armlets on her right.
She opened a door walking quietly into the library picking up a book. 'Ansem's Report' she had always found the stories of the heartless fascinating, 'Those without Hearts' The things that man, there former ruler Ansem had done though, to further his studies sickened her. She heard a disturbance behind her and spun to face it, in front of her stood a woman whose brown hair was tied into a delicate plait with a red ribbon. She wore a Pink Dress, with Brown boots and silver bracelets on one of her arms. Her green eyes were almost entrancing. On her neck was a silver pendent of Angel Wings.
"Sorry Xayne I didn't mean to disturb you."
"Lady Aerith. It's an honour to be near a member of the elite guard."
Aerith smiled back at her.
"You know Xayne- Get down!"
Aerith swung her rod with a cold efficiency and Xayne ducked out of the way as her rod hit several strange creatures, Xayne immediately knew what they were…. Heartless. There was a flash of light in front of her and a Sword appeared she instinctively grabbed onto it and assisted Aerith in clearing out the heartless.
Aerith looked at the sword in Xayne's hand and merely told her to follow her. They found the rest of the elite guard, Yuffie, Leon and Cloud fighting off heartless.
"Where's Cid?" Aerith called out to them
"He's gone to the waterway to check things down there." Leon called to her.
"Xayne come with me." Aerith told her
The pair of them ran out of the palace and down a left into the waterway. There was a blonde man fighting of heartless with a spear.
"Cid we have to get Xayne to the Gummi Ship." Aerith called to him.
"Gummi Ship? What?"
"Trust us Xayne." She told the girl
The three of them ran fighting through the heartless to a secluded area of the waterway when more heartless began swarming. Cid threw Xayne in it and shut the door.
"Hit the red switch it will take you where you need to go. Leave this to us."
Aerith opened the door a little and took off her pendent.
"Give this to the one with the light. You'll know who he is, trust me it's important."
Xayne pushed the switch as Aerith and Cid attacked the heartless and the Gummi Ship flew off. Xayne had no idea what was going on but she was going to find out.
