Organization XIII Proof of Existence by Walker of Nothing
Chapter 13: Training for Tomorrow
Velvet POV
"Take this!" Luna flying through the air her fans poised as deadly weapons ready to eliminate her enemy, but Albedo was stronger and smarter. As if to prove that she simply deflected Luna's attack with her battle ax. Luna didn't stop there though, using Albedo's momentum against her Luna shifted her attack leaping off her opponent's weapon using it as a springboard. The Fallen Angel was taken by surprise but barely dodged Luna's second assault. Albedo's speed was amazing, her stamina and strength were on completely different levels as the rest of us. I was actually kind of glad that she was on our side.
"You're doing good Luna, I wasn't expecting you to use my momentum against me. If you keep that up you'll improve in no time." Luna's eyes seemed to light up with that unexpected bit of praise from Albedo. I know she tried to act all professional and guardian-like but deep down she seemed to have a soft spot for us.
"You haven't seen nothing yet!" Her eyes started to glow as the surrounding area started to darken, a Full Moon was all that illuminated the training room. Darkness pooling on the ground as Shadow Heartless climbed from the pits of darkness. What they lacked in strength they made up for in numbers. I'm not talking about a couple dozen but more like a few hundred maybe even close to a thousand.
"Good, good, if you can't overpower your opponent then corner them with sheer force and numbers. Afterall, it doesn't matter how weak your force is intimidation is half the battle." Albedo seemed to be almost pleased with Luna's progress, but a chill ran down my spine as if the epitome of all that was evil had just appeared. Confused, I glanced at Albedo only to find that she had a strange look in her eye almost sadistic. That couldn't be right, she was just fine a second ago. Next thing I knew Albedo was rushing through the army of lesser Heartless, every creature she passed their heads and various other limbs were sliced away. Darkness spilling out from the monster's limbs were attached fading away into nothing.
A look of pure fear crossed Luna's face as Albedo laughed maniacally and almost uncontrollably. Her army of Heartless was being swiftly and efficiently decimated to a pile of smoke and darkness. "All forces swallow her whole!" At her command, all of the Shadows began intercepting Albedo knowing full well that some of her force would be caught in the crossfire. It was a desperate move, but Luna didn't have much choice.
Most of the remaining Shadows were able to drown her somewhat as Albedo's body slowly started to sink deeper into the darkness. Her hands flailing, desperate to grab hold of something, anything that could pull her out but to no avail. Luna opened another portal of darkness as more Shadow Heartless climbed from its home. A desperate attempt at strengthening her forces as she sent them after Albedo the darkness that piled on top of the Fallen Angel growing larger.
However, just as I thought Luna may have won something started to nag at me. Albedo couldn't have easily succumbed to these minor Heartless. That didn't stop Luna from continually summoning Shadow Heartless after Shadow Heartless. She was reaching her limit and Luna was very much well aware of it too if she didn't finish this now then it was all over.
Then a bright light started to shine through the darkness that had swallowed Albedo, with a scream that sent more shivers down my spine the light exploded sending all the creatures flying. Out of the darkness came Albedo swinging her ax decimated evert Heartless in her path moving at a speed one would think that was impossible.
Luna raised tried to defend herself, but it was already too late, Albedo was already on top of her. Bracing herself for the inevitable Luna Inadvertently closed her eyes accepting her fate as Albedo's ax came within inches of her neck. Just as I was about to intervene I could hear Albedo laughing and as I looked closer Luna seemed to be unharmed. I breathed a sigh of relief, I was almost certain that Albedo was going to go overboard but she proved to have more restraint then what we gave her credit for.
"It's alright Luna, you did well taking into consideration what you were up against." Luna slowly opened her eyes getting bigger when she saw how close Albedo's weapon was to her neck. Realizing that her blade was still on Luna's neck Albedo dematerialized her ax and offered the Lunar Maiden her hand. Luna took her hand as Albedo helped her up taking Luna into her arms. "You held your own well today, I'm proud of you Luna." All I could do was smile, maybe being a Nobody wasn't so bad at all. I got a second chance at life, then there's the Lord, Luna, Mash and even Albedo. Even if we never do obtain hearts of our own, I don't think that it would necessarily be a bad thing.
"You're a lot stronger than I bargained for Albedo, I'm glad your on our side." Albedo laughed while patting Luna on the head. "You have potential Luna, all you have to do is grow it. All of you, I'll help you all reach your true strength and then there is nothing we can't do." Potential huh? She wasn't wrong, we all had room to grow and as Nobodies we were the strongest of our kind. All that was left was to seek out Xemnas and find someone who could wield the Keyblade. That was easier said than done though, but we've made it this far and there was no going back.
"Master Velvet, a powerful Nobody has been sensed in the Radiant Garden World. What are your orders?" Mash appeared out of a Dark Corridor as she asked how I wanted to proceed. A powerful Nobody, it couldn't be Xemnas as he had a distinct scent of darkness. No, this was someone new...whoever it was we needed to act fast.
"Luna, Albedo, it's time to move. We have a Nobody to find." Everyone nodding in response as I led the way through another Dark Corridor. Hoping that we would run across the Lord's whereabouts no matter how slim those chances may be.
