Chapter 35: Viscus pectoris addo prosterno/Tripudio of Carus (heart brings ruin/dance of the beloveds)
"I love you…" Amaterasu whispered watching the gummi ship out of view. Lightning sighed sadly watching her 'client' in emotional pain. They finally made it to their destination, and the gummi ship left for Twilight Town. The girl held on tight to the necklace around her neck, and tried hard not to become an emotional wreckage or tears and fists hitting the ground.
"Take this…" she said holding the amulet close to Riku's heart. "I want you to give it to Sora, please. He needs this more than I do."
The boy took it and couldn't say anything for the moment. "I'll make sure to give it to him, so don't worry." The girl nodded and kissed the side of his cheek. "For some reason I can feel the end of our journey, it's coming soon…"
"Do you know what's going to happen?" the girl asked looking him in the eyes. The teen shook his head. "One can only pray that light will be waiting for us at the end."
"The Heartless in my heart, says only that the heart will bring ruin… I guess we shape our destiny due to our actions…"
"My heart says that too…" the girl responded in a soft and sad tone. She placed his hand on her heart and closed her eyes for a moment. "I'm sure our hearts can communicate without words, so don't worry about us being apart."
Somehow the girl had peered in his own heart, trying to comfort him about the distance. Riku felt his body relax for a moment, feeling the beating of her heart, as it radiated through his fingertips, awakening his senses. "I know you want to get rid of the darkness in your heart… I know you're afraid of losing control, that's why you didn't want to fall in love for so long. But…" she looked up at Riku once again. "It's ok, I'll be here to help you. I want to keep you safe, even if I can't be there for you physically."
"You've done more than enough, Amaterasu." The silver haired teen said softly. He hugged her once again. He didn't want her to leave, not when she finally told him those words. "It's not enough, is it?"
"No…" she said feeling tears fall on her shirt. "I want more time… Maybe I should've told you earlier. I should've told you earlier…"
"I'm glad you told me though." He said smiling for a moment. Amaterasu nodded and looked back up at him.
"Ah… Listen can you take care of the flower for me? Please…" she asked removing the flower carefully from her hair. "I don't want to damage it."
Amaterasu and Lightning looked over the city, watching little cottages and cement buildings, resident areas, and the construction of the new Radiant Garden Castle. The two of them watched the view once more, before jumping down to the little opening underneath them. Lightning landed with ease using her quick reflexes to catch herself from losing her footing. Amaterasu needed a little help, which the Heartless was happy to provide.
The two of them landed in the opening, filled with trees. This was a rather depressing forest; bare trees were before their vision. They looked back up at the cliff they jumped; it was hard to believe they jumped from that height. Ahead of the road it led to the ruin of the old castle, which was their designation. 'Take care you guys…' Amaterasu thought running after Lightning as they headed down the beaten dirt path.
The sun was starting to hit their backs as the afternoon was starting to beat on them. The sounds of crows taking flight captivated Amaterasu as she looked back for a moment. The caws brought back a feeling of homesickness within in her heart. When she was younger she believed the black feathered birds brought her good fortune. She wondered if they would bring her good fortune once a gain.
The girl noticed that the scarf still went around the Heartless' neck. Somehow she found sentimental attachment to the piece of clothing. It reminded her of something else. "What did he tell you, Lightning?" Amaterasu asked hearing the word 'versus' pop into her mind.
"Ha…" Lightning and her ran side by side now. She did promise the girl she would tell. "I suppose I should tell you." Amaterasu smiled enjoying the run back to the hideout. "He… It's hard to say really."
Amaterasu looked back at her for a moment and shook her head. "You have to say it." Lightning really couldn't shake her off the topic, and she had no choice but to give in and tell her.
"He invited me to go and visit." Lightning said looking down at the dirt path as they ran away from the civilized area. "I don't know if I should, it's not really my position. Heartless don't just go and visit."
"He likes you."
Lightning slowed her pace down and looked at Amaterasu. The girl had a strong emotional IQ when it came to stuff like that, but when it pertained to her she became so clueless. The Heartless began to fidget with the crimson scarf and felt a bit out of order; her nature prevented her from feeling such emotions like 'love'.
"Maybe he does…" the Heartless said feeling indifferent if the heir really did or did not.
The two of them continued their run down the path to Maleficent. Amaterasu had formulated a lie to tell her, saying Gabriel let himself be captured so that he could retrieve the last sphere King Mickey gained. Riku on the other hand, she would have to say was spying on them, that's the only thing that Maleficent could register into her mind.
"Did you tell him?" the Heartless asked thinking back to Riku for a moment. Amaterasu nodded as they slowed down from their run. "It's about time." The Heartless said now walking down the path. "Remember though; don't let this ruin your momentum on the mission."
"I know." The girl said simply walking alongside her companion. "After all I know you want a heart, so yeah."
They stopped short coming to a gap, as the road ended in a big ravine. Before their colored eyes they saw the ruins looming over the area. Amaterasu remembered the ruins back when they were called 'the castle'. Every touch of the ruins pained her, she had spent many wonderful days within the walls of that castle.
"Let's go." Lightning said standing on top of a broken column. Amaterasu sighed for a moment and jumped into the air, catching herself to balance on the broken beam near the column.
The girl ran forward letting the wind carry her for a second until gravity brought her down. The dirt kicked up as she landed on her feet, and Lightning leaped into the air, skidding to a halt as she ended up in the ground, right next to Amaterasu. Her blue eyes scanned the area, everything seemed so peaceful.
The crows cawed again and the two of them looked up watching feathers fall down to the ground, hovering for seconds as the wind decided to extend their trajectory. Amaterasu grabbed a couple of them before they hit the ground. "I want to do something with the feathers." She said stuffing the feathers into her blue jean pockets.
Lightning didn't ask what her 'client' wanted to do with the feathers, it was best left to the imagination. Somehow the Heartless thought that she would find a good use for the feathers, and so she didn't doubt Amaterasu with her creativity.
"All right." Lightning said picking up the pace as they started to run towards the bigger ruins of the once proud castle of the old Radiant Garden. The girl followed behind noticing the crows fly in their direction.
Amaterasu smiled for a moment looking up at the crows, somehow luck would be on her side. They stopped after a couple of minutes of running down to their destination. The castle doors in their old and faded glory stood before them. The girl walked forward and paused for a moment feeling Lightning place a reassuring pat on her shoulder.
After opening the doors, and walking through the depressing ruins of the structure inside, they made it to one of the top floor rooms. "Maleficent?" The girl called out, her voice echoed through the empty halls. "Pete?" she called out the other helper's name.
"That you, Amaterasu?" the oaf called Pete asked appearing from the hallway. "Whatcha doing back here?"
"We've sort of failed our mission…" the girl said displaying her lie, with a dash of truth to it, to make it sound believable. "Is Maleficent here?" Amaterasu asked.
"Nope…" Pete said sounding relived for a moment. "She's left to Twilight Town a while ago. Probably to teach the Sora kid a lesson."
"You don't say?" Lightning asked hoping that the witch would fall.
Twilight Town
"Heartless!" Donald shouted as they made it to the train station.
Goofy hurled his shield to a couple of their enemies. King Mickey and Riku stood back to back in an attack stance. As soon as one Heartless moved Riku and King Mickey lunged forward, the strength of their hearts measured through the attacks placed on their Keyblade.
Riku placed his right foot on the ground and kicked off a Heartless with the other. Another enemy jumped into the air, and the Keyblade blocked off the attack, and he cut the body in to two pieces watching it slump to the floor. 'You know you want the darkness to take over…' something ran in his head. The barrier on his heart wanted to shatter again, he could feel the scent of the Heartless get to him.
Donald shouted various spells protecting his duckish looking frame from the attacks of the fiends. Another shield attack went airborne and Donald was safe for now as Goofy pushed off a couple of Heartless. Mickey jumped into the air zipping past claws, and razor sharp teeth. When his foot touched the ground he pushed himself forward, destroying five Heartless in his path.
The Heartless begged for release for a moment or two from Riku's heart. Riku twisted in the air dodging severe blows from the oncoming attacks. He spun his Keyblade to the right tossing a Heartless on another Heartless. The scent was starting to subside, but Riku knew the urge would come back. 'Let's just get this over with really quick…' he begged his heart. Xehanort's Heartless wasn't going to let that happen, not until Riku got another taste of his Heartless' side. Riku could feel his insides twist as Xehanort found a way to plunge into his heart.
The Heartless stopped for a moment and noticed that a deep darkness within the boy's heart was beginning to rip open into his somewhat frail heart. The Heartless growled in reaction the darkness beginning to wrap around the silver haired teen's body.
"Your Majesty!" Donald and Goofy said in unison noticing Riku yell. The King watched in horror as Xehanort's Heartless took control of his heart.
'NO!' Riku thought to himself stepping out of the dark void. 'STOP!' the Heartless within him wasn't making it easy. Before he knew it the darkness gave his body a new shape, that into a human looking Heartless. Claws as black as night, light the body of a Heartless. The Heartless emblem on his chest, and bat like wings on his back, his eyes turned into a deep color of amber.
He attacked wildly at the surrounding Heartless. "Riku!" the three yelled, watching with each step as the boy struggled to right off the dark influence. It was now use his heart was not able to hear the call of the King and the royal mage and knight. The head of a Heartless landed at the King's feet, and it disappeared.
Other Heartless began to whimper and growl in fear for once, watching the violet way that their fellow beings suffered under the hands of the boy. Riku stopped his body, and clutched the side of his head. "STOP!" he let out a blood-curdling yell, feeling his heart rip in half. 'Face it boy, you can't go back!' Xehanort's Heartless said feeling himself gain the upper hand. 'She can't save you, no one can!'
"Not true…" Riku struggled to speak feeling the immense pain from within his body. The other called out to him, but he could barely hear their words now. "Stop it… Stop…" he begged falling to his knees. The darkness didn't let go, nor did it feel pity.
King Mickey destroyed the Heartless around the possessed boy, and Donald and Goofy attacked the Heartless that moved towards Riku. 'Sora… Kairi… Amaterasu…' those names echoed across Riku's mind. 'Help me…' he begged hearing the Heartless shout demeaning words now. 'You'd think they'd want to help a monster like you?!' the Heartless rebutted.
Riku…
Riku let out a loud roar, the whole station echoed with the Heartless' roar. More Heartless trembled before the awesome power behind the emotion of it all. He breathed heavily, his eyes glimmering with the intent to kill the Heartless around him. He stood up this time, and brought his clawed hands close to his side. His pink tongue licked his black lips, and when he smiled before the Heartless fangs neatly conquered his pearly whites.
I love you, Riku…
The arm of Heartless felt the fangs of the boy, and several Heartless jumped forward, but he used his new found speed and tossed the other Heartless to the side, like a rag. Another Heartless felt the claws pierce its stomach, and Riku grinned tossing the deceased Heartless to the side. The King didn't even try to step in; he knew that if he did Riku would most likely bring him down, without a doubt.
I'm sure our hearts can communicate without words, so don't worry about us being apart…
'That voice…' the very sanity from Riku's mind spoke out in the chaos and pain raging within the boy's body. For a spilt second the amber eyes shifted to turquoise, but it lasted for only a second. 'Amaterasu?!' his mind wanted to hear her voice just once more. His body stopped the violent assault on the Heartless, trying to find the source of the voice.
His voice became raspy, and just growls could be heard.
"Riku." Someone called out.
'Is that you?' the boy asked within his mind, he couldn't see that well now. Everything was dark through his eyes.
Come back to me Riku!
'How can I?' the mind asked again. Still no answer and he was left to find the light within the chaos. 'Enough!' his mind yelled finding the entrance to his heart once more. 'ENOUGH!' his Keyblade began to glow as he stepped into the frame of his chaotic heart.
From outside his body stopped clutching the side of his head, hitting the wall. The Heartless didn't want the control to be broken, not when he finally had the boy under his grasp. King Mickey didn't dare to move now, fearing for his own heart. Turquoise eyes appeared in place of the amber eyes', contrasting his exterior, still his body was in a Heartless like ensemble.
"Sora…! Kairi…! Amaterasu…!" the boy yelled to the twilight sky. His heart began to react to the names coming out from the black colored lips. 'NO!' the Heartless yelled feeling his grip slip through his fingers. "Sora…! Kairi…! Amaterasu…!"
The Heartless wings grew on his back, twisting into a new shape, raven black feathers sprung forth, but soon they became a leathery type, sinister like bat wings. Riku took control of his Heartless form once again, the turquoise eyes signaled the sign of self overcome. Riku panted feeling his hands connect with the brick floors of the train station. He blinked for a moment noticing his body covered completely in black.
"King Mickey…?" Riku managed to croak out looking at the royal mouse.
"Riku…" the king said deeply worried for his young friend. All three of them walked over to the boy in his new form. "You…" the royal figure was at a loss for words, he couldn't even begin to describe the event, it seemed to happen so fast.
I want to keep you safe…
Amaterasu's voice filled the mind of the boy, as he looked up at the twilight sky once more. 'Our hearts… did you sense my pain?' he asked his mind, hoping somehow that it would reach her. Riku stood up, not really getting use to the way his body reacted with Heartless like reflexes. He opened his mouth, and then using his tongue to feel the new fangs adorning his regular teeth.
"Woah…" he said, and stopped quickly, he bit his tongue. He cursed loudly stomping his foot in pain to the blood running down the side of his mouth.
"Riku…" King Mickey said looking back at him. "How… How do you feel?"
"Never better, in fact I feel great!" Riku said looking in back of him, noticing the black leathery wings that twitched for a moment. "Let's get going!" he said feeling a great power surge around him.
"Just be careful." The King advised still feeling a bit precautious about the whole sudden change in his character.
"I'll meet you over there!" Riku said disappearing through a black portal.
"Riku, wait…!"
It was too late the boy had already taken his step into the portal. Within a matter of moments Riku appeared before a strange looking tower, this was where Sora was at, training with Yen Sid. He noticed Sora running towards him right away, and his whole mind went blank. 'Sora…'
"sora!" Riku said waving his hand slightly. The brunette stopped quickly and titled his head in confusion.
"You can talk?" Sora asked. "You sound just like Riku…"
"I am Riku, you bum!" the boy said shaking his head.
Something in Sora's heart told him that he was telling the truth. He walked forward for a moment, but stopped short hearing something like an explosion in back of him. The two of them looked back as the wall from the tower broke off, revealing a dragon of magnificent size shot green flames.
"Maleficent!" the boys yelled out looking at one another. Sora blinked for a moment trying to register in his mind that this Heartless was Riku. "What the heck happened to you?"
"Too long to explain…" Riku said pulling out his Keyblade. "Where's Kairi?" he asked looking at Sora hoping he had good news.
The black dragon fell to the side, as ice covered the snout of the purple and black scaled beast called Maleficent. Kairi appeared quickly from the ruin, and with her was the sight of a blonde female. The dragon broke the ice from its snout and Kairi and Naminé jumped back avoiding the green flames. "Let's go!" Sora said pulling out his Keyblade. At that point Roxas materialized from his heart, and he brought out both Oblivion and Oathkeeper.
Yen Sid's training had paid off, letting Sora master his Nobody form, to either letting it posses him, or to mentally project him into his reality. This was a step that the Dark Keyblade master once did; Yen Sid had been his teacher at one point.
"Don't just stand there!" Roxas yelled looking back at Riku. "Move!"
The dragon roared bearing its green flames around Kairi and Naminé. Sora and Roxas used Blizzard spells to control the green conflagration. "Riku!" the two girls called out happily noticing the Heartless move about. Their hearts allowed them to see Riku's real appearance shine through for a moment.
"Look out!" Roxas yelled pushing Naminé and Kairi out of the way. The dragon swished its tail in their direction. Roxas flew through the air, and Riku caught him. Sora ran forward with a sudden burst of speed. He jumped on the tail, and with more confidence used Ultima Weapon to bash the head of the dragon.
"Insolent pests!" the dragon managed to say, shooting an array of green flames. They started to zoom around the girls and Riku. Sora growled for a moment, and looked back. Riku used his Keyblade to throw the flames back to the beast, and Naminé mimicked the boy's attack with her magic. Kairi used another ice spell, and when all was set Sora began his assault on the head. Roxas came back into view and the two of them did a tag team attack, displaying fancy swordsmanship. Roxas used a sort of mid-air Nobody attack, that constricted the dragon to one area, without moving around, black, grey, and white jagged lines pierce through the beast's heart. Sora used the reaction attack from his previous fight with the dragon.
The dragon cried out in pain as Sora was about to deliver the final blow.
"Riku!" Sora yelled, Riku hurled his Keyblade to the boy, and with an elegant akimbo combination he threw the witch into the air, with a bone breaking attack to the mid-section of the back, then with the other blade he brought her down to the ground. Sora landed back on the ground panting for a moment. "You had enough?" he asked her. Maleficent didn't move, which meant that she seemed to be down for the count. Green flames covered her body and all that remained now was her black cloak.
"We did it!" the girls squealed jumping up and down. Naminé took both of Roxas' hands and jumped up and down in triumph. "That was amazing!" the blond witch said kissing Roxas on the lips lightly, and Sora on the cheek. Kairi congratulated Sora with a light kiss on his lips, and she laughed slightly.
Riku sighed heavily feeling everything at peace now. The four of them looked back at their Heartless looking friend. "What happened to you?" Kairi and Naminé asked in unison, they were concerned for their friend.
"Xehanort…" Riku said walking forward for a moment. He could feel the energy slip away now, and in a white cleansing light his body went back to the normal frame he was born with.
"Where's Amaterasu?" Sora asked looking around the area of the girl he mentioned. Riku looked down at the ground. "Riku… I…"
"She's alive, but she's not here…" Riku said quickly. "She's back at Maleficent's hideout, with another friend." He said trying not to let his mind wander away from the mission.
R i k u
It was hard explaining to them why she left, but it was part of King Mickey's plan. Sora did have faith in the plan, but Kairi was a bit suspicious about it all, but she decided she'd see it with her own eyes. Roxas and Naminé stayed silent while we spoke for a while, and they didn't now what to say.
No doubt that they knew who we were talking about, since Sora and Kairi loved to talk.
"That means she's back in Radiant Garden then?" Roxas asked in his simple manner. We all nodded and he sighed. "You want us to stick around here some more?" he asked Sora.
"You getting tired of being here?" the brunette asked his Nobody.
"No way!" Roxas said. "I can finally walk around and stuff. It gets cramped being stuck in your mind…" the Nobody said smiling at his other half. He noogied Sora and brought him down.
We looked back at the ruined wall.
"Master Yen Sid is going to be pissed!" both Roxas and Sora said in unison.
The girls and I laughed shaking our head for a moment. Other than that we got our friendship back together, talking about things that happened and stuff. Sora going on and on about how Kairi mastered the splitting technique before he did. Things didn't change that much, even while I was gone, but they missed me a lot, I could tell you that much.
"Riku!" the familiar voice called out. I turned around and noticed the King and the others run towards the group. Donald and Goofy hugged Sora and brought him down by the sheer force of emotions. Kairi and Naminé bowed and greeted the King.
"I'm all right now." I told King Mickey, and he sighed in relief. He asked what had happened to wall.
"Maleficent…" we all said in unison.
"Then it shouldn't be hard for Amaterasu to do her job then." The royal mouse said, and I could feel a smile move stealthily up on me. "Let's go and pay a visit to Master Yen Sid, shall we?"
"We'll pass…" Sora said putting an arm around my shoulder and Kairi's shoulder. Roxas and Naminé placed their arms around each other. "We've got some more catching up to do your Highness, if you don't mind."
"Fair enough, then." King Mickey said calling Donald and Goofy. I was allowed to stay outside with my friends.
"So how's your relationship with her?" Naminé asked as we all walked around the area of the tower.
A Nobody asking me about my relationship with a girl. I never would've thought about that ever, especially from a Nobody. I felt a blush creep up on me, and well I can't really lie about it.
"It's good!"
"What?!" Sora and Kairi practically yelled in my ears. "You… she… When?!"
"Yesterday slash today…" I said laughing nervously. I could feel my cheeks burn up a bit.
"What happened, you have to tell me!" Kairi said pulling me along. "How did it happen?"
"Wait what are you talking about?" I asked pulling my hand back.
"How did you tell her that you loved her? What are you thinking about?" Kairi asked raising an eyebrow in confusion.
I laughed nervously and rubbed the back of my head. For some reason something completely different ran through my head, and Amaterasu would kick my ass if she found out that I even thought about it, or that I even thought that was what Kairi was talking about.
A m a t e r a s u
I sat down on this throne that belongs to Maleficent she's not here, so she won't mind. What he doesn't know won't kill her. I had asked Pete if he could be a dear and find me that certain sphere that contained the Keyblade War King Mickey had been longing for. I said it in my own way, and he didn't object to finding it.
Lightning looked around the throne room noticing that light actually filled this room rather than stain glass. "She's probably dead." Lightning said sneering, loving the fact that it might be true. That meant that she would be under my control and not the witch.
Heartless nature, should be obvious as to how it works, the one with the most darkness would control the Heartless, and since I wield the most amount now, Lightning was my responsibility.
I tapped my foot slightly on the floor, crossing my legs in annoyance. I was tired from all that running, but other than that I was just bored, and that got me tired too. Green flames sprouted from the ground and I threw myself off of the throne.
Lightning froze in place noticing the flames hold a figure within it. 'No… she's not…' my thoughts ran around trying to figure out how they didn't kill her. 'Sora you idiot!' my mind yelled curing the little Keyblade's 'Chosen One'. She looked worn out, her breathing was slow and she collapsed onto the throne. She had barely made it out from the battle.
"Those… pests…" the witch managed to say. "Girl…" I gulped and noticed that she didn't seem that pleased. "That boy… I saw him…"
"He betrayed us." I said feeling indifferent to it all now.
"I noticed…" she said coldly closing her eyes. "For now I want you to keep an eye on…" she groaned in pain. "That runt… the one with the Nobody…"
She ordered us out of her room, and all we could do was follow instructions. That was just great, here I thought she was dead, but even that bitch could escape death by a thread. 'Just face it, we're going to win…' my own Heartless muttered for a moment. I didn't really care about that, I just wanted to leave, to get far away from here, to go back with Riku. To find Lightning's heart, to give King Mickey his sphere. So many promises to keep I can't even count them all.
For a moment I could feel something wrong, like Riku's yells ringing in my mind. I didn't know what to do, but I just begged for him to be all right. For now my mind is at peace, which means that Riku is doing fine.
"She wants you to go and spy on them…" Pete said noticing the cold stare I gave him for a moment. "I know you just got here, but that's her order." The guy said handing me the sphere. "Why do you need it anyway?"
"For something…" I said tossing the sphere into the air. It gleamed brightly, and I stuck it in the sack that hung over my back. "Pete, you know you can always leave this place…" I said looking back at him.
"…" he didn't say anything and his little ears went back in fear. "How do…?"
"It's written on your face. I can't read your heart, but I can see the emotion etched on your face." I said simply noticing a wave of relief run across his feature.
"I'm afraid… I have no place to go."
"Yeah well when the Dark Keyblade Master comes back he'll kill you." I said coldly. "a person like you has no place to be among him… It's better if you leave or you just run away, very far away, like the beach or something. I'll cover for you!" I said trying to get him to leave.
"Gee, would you really do that?" Pete asked looking at me confused.
"Maybe but you have to do me a favor."
"Which is…?"
I can't believe I'm placing an important item to him but with the witch alive I won't be able to give it to him early at all. "I want you to give this to Yen Sid." I said simply. Lightning's eyes went wide at the mention of the plan.
Several days later
"Amaterasu…" Lightning whispered stepping lightly over the body of a dead guard. The girl dropped down from the roof, careful not to step on the body of the fallen guards.
"Did you have to kill them?" the girl whispered harshly.
"You said by whatever means…" the Heartless said sternly looking back at her 'client'.
"I didn't mean death!" she said softly waving her hands frantically.
"You there!" several guards yelled from in back of them.
Amaterasu and the Heartless turned around quickly and noticed guards with swords, and lances. "You men guard Princess Aurora!" several guards ran in the opposite direction and up a corridor.
"Go…" Lightning whispered to Amaterasu. "I'll distract the guards."
Amaterasu and Lightning charged forward, fire blazing past them, and ice zipping past them. Swords went in the air, and Amaterasu moved an inch to the side, and knocked one soldier out with a hand to the face guard. "We did the other guys go?" she asked Lightning as she brought out her weapon. Gun shots were heard echoing down the corridor.
"To the left!" the Heartless yelled pushing back some guards. She strained under the weight, but managed to evade on coming spells. Amaterasu twisted in the air, dodging a fireball, and sent a Gravity spell to a pair guards. Lightning jumped back and pulled the trigger on her weapon, the sword showed itself, and with a dash forward two guards were laid to waste, their heads far from their bodies.
Amaterasu cringed at the sight, but ran forward, evading more guards, and brought down two guards with her Keyblade. "You… but why?" a guard asked knowing what the Keyblade meant.
The Keyblade's edge was clearly able to be seen through the guard's stomach, shattering the protective armor he wore. "I'm just doing a job…" the girl said tossing the body to the side. The smell and sight of it all was enough to make the trigger in her heart start.
The other guards moved to the sight, noticing the cold look in the girl's eyes. She ran up to the corridor and ran down the left side of the hall.
More guards appeared. "Shit…" the girl muttered and sighed heavily for a moment. "I'm sorry you guys…" she out stretched her hand and Neo Shadows appeared before here. "Go…" she said pointing to the guards in her path.
Soldiers screamed in pain, others fought back, gurgling sounds were heard as the blood trickled through their mouths. Blood ran down the armor, faceguards were clearly broken, shattered fragments lodged into the face of those who wore them. Chest plates completely torn apart, holes where their hearts use to be. Such was the nature of Neo Shadows, the true nature. Amaterasu sighed watching the last Neo Shadow mercilessly rip the heart out of a guard.
She looked away feeling her humanity leave her for a while. The girl shook her head and walked down the hallway. 'This is it…' she thought opening the door to the chamber of the pure hearted maiden.
"I'm sorry…" Amaterasu said closing her eyes for a moment. "Please find it in your heart to forgive me, Princess Aurora." With no guards to defended Amaterasu placed a strong level 'Stop' spell on the princess.
"No!" a man yelled in back of her. Amaterasu turned around and looked at the prince figure that stood there. Lightning held him back with no trouble.
"Do it, Amaterasu don't think!" the Heartless said, noticing the guilt take over the girl's body. Amaterasu's Keyblade began to give off a dark aura, and within a matter of moments the Keyblade lodged into the heart of one of the seven maidens of the purest heart.
A/N: You know what to do one review please!
