Authors Note – HA! I LOVE this chapter! It was SOOO much fun to write :tries to calm down.: Ok, well this chapter has a bit of blood and gore in it, so, yeah, don't read it if you don't want to. Lol, please review on this one, I would really like to know how I did, it's the first heavy action scene I've written.

Disclaimer – Nope, I sure don't own Kingdom Hearts :cries:


"Amarantha! Get out of here!" Riku yelled, struggling to break away from whoever was holding him.

Axel glanced back at the struggling Riku. "Restrain him!" He ordered.

Instantly two other people grabbed a hold of Riku, pinning his arms behind his back and forcing him to his knees.

Axel circled Amarantha, looking closely at her, observing her. Amarantha stood with her hood down, her black hair shining in the rain and her deep red eyes reflecting the lights all around. She had her key blade in hand, but she held it lowered, waiting to use it.

"Let him go Axel!" Amarantha demanded, her voice loud and strong.

"I'm sorry love, but I'm afraid I can't do that, you see, he's our prisoner now." Axel stopped circling and stood to the left of Amarantha. "It's going to be so much fun, killing you in front of your lover."

Amarantha didn't blink, she just raised her key blade. "Don't make me kill you." She said, her voice hard and deadly.

Axel chuckled. "I'd like to see you try." Jumping back onto the bridge Axel raised his arms above his head and looked into the sky, almost immediately hundreds of Heartless materialized from the ground, surrounding Amarantha. "Good luck darling." Axel said with a chuckle.

Amarantha looked around her slowly, thinking of what to do. With out warning she lunged forward, barreling into the Heartless ahead of her. Her key blade moved like lightning, striking any thing unfortunate enough to be within reach. Spinning in a circle Amarantha fended off the Heartless trying to come at her from behind.

Riku watched in horror as the Heartless attacked, he was useless in this battle, there was nothing he could do. Thinking quickly Riku twisted so quickly that he broke away from the man holding his right arm behind his back. Reaching inside of his coat Riku grabbed his key blade and threw it out toward Amarantha just before someone punched him in the back, making him fall face first onto the bridge. He struggled back up to his knees, his nose bleeding heavily.

Seeing the key blade coming at her Amarantha jumped into the air and grabbed it, doing a back flip and landing on top of two Heartless. She twirled the two blades in unison, cutting down Heartless left and right. Now that she had cleared a good place to fight in Amarantha waited for the Heartless to come at her. Three jumped into the air, trying to come at her from above. Amarantha jumped up to meet them, cutting two down with a sweep of her blades. As she started to fall back down to the ground Amarantha twisted her body so that she had a clear shot. Throwing Oblivion as hard as she could Amarantha landed and waited, hopping her blade found it's mark. But Axel jumped out of the way, landing on top of a near by building that was at least 10 stories high. As Amarantha waited for her key blade to return to her the third Heartless came down on top of her. Amarantha spun around and struck out with Riku's blade, but the Heartless had time enough to drag it's claws across Amarantha's face.

Crying out in pain Amarantha fell to her knees, three deep, bleeding gashes ran from right under her left eye to the corner of her mouth, one gash even cutting across her lips. Her blood falling with the rain Amarantha staggered to her feet. Another Heartless came at her and Amarantha kicked it back, gritting her teeth against the excruciating pain shooting through her face. Seeing Oblivion lying on the ground a couple of yards away from her Amarantha made a dash for it, skidding across the ground to grab it. The wet cobblestone made her skid farther then she had expected, sending her crashing into a group of Heartless. Fighting them off Amarantha jumped into the air again, this time landing on top of the porch roof of the building in which Axel was standing.

After looking up for a moment Amarantha jumped and started to run up the side of the building, crossing her key blades back and forth, cutting down the Heartless that tried to stop her. Using all of her remaining strength Amarantha jumped up to land in front of Axel. He chuckled and twisted around, just as he was about to jump from the building Amarantha slammed her key blade so hard into his chest he gapped for a second then, slowly, started to tumble backwards. All of her strength gone Amarantha staggered and fell forward, falling over the side of the building, the two key blades falling out of her grasp as she lost consciousness.
