Twyla doesn't feel anything. Since she feels like nothing happened, she opens her eyes and slowly looks at the creature, lowing her arm onto her stomach. A man with the spikiest and most reddest hair she's ever seen in her life is in front of the creature. Holding it back with a red and silver Chakram. Her eyes widen with surprise that he was even there.
"You alright, kid?" He asked with a grunt. His arms are shaking from holding it back. Speechless, the only response she gives is a nod. "Okay… then get out of the - way!" He pushes the creature back and hits it with one of the chakrams. "Roxas, I could use some help!" He shouts towards a walkway.
"Since when did you need any help?" A blonde spikey-haired boy joked as runs over, that Twyla assumes is Roxas. He holds to what seems to be a giant gold and silver key.
"Get her out of here!" The redhead ordered, throwing one of the chakrams at the creature. Roxas nods and walks to Twyla. His weapon disappears out of his hand.
"Come on, I'm gonna get you out of here." Roxas says with a kind smile to Twyla. He reaches his hand out for Twyla to take, his blue eyes looking into hers. She slides her hand into his and he hoists her up. "Pretty sure you got this covered." Roxas says giving the redhead a thumbs up.
"Sure - no problem!" The redhead said in a sarcastic tone. The chakram blazed on fire and the redhead throws it at the creature.
Twyla stares at the fight, amazed. "Come on, let's go." Roxas says grasping Twyla's attention. She nods and follows him from the scene.
Another, but different, white spiked creature pops up from the floor in their path. Roxas' key appears in his hand and with one swift move, the creature is gone. Twyla was quite impressed with Roxas' quick thinking and moves. And wondered what type of weapon it is that he uses. They run towards the stairs and begin to climb them to the place she hasn't yet been too.
"Roxas, I assume?" Twyla half asked Roxas.
"Yeah?" He says nodding.
"What are these things?" She asked looking behind her to see the redhead catching up.
"They're called Nobodies." Roxas panted as they climb the last set of stairs. "In there." He says pointing to a gated area. Twyla nods. Three white creatures with vine-like arms and legs appear in front of Roxas.
Roxas takes one down as quickly as it appeared and then a streak of fire came from behind and took out the other two creatures. Twyla stopped and look behind her, watching as the redhead catch the chakram. "Let's go." Roxas said running again. Without hesitation she followed him.
They ran into the fenced area. Chairs, boxes and other things are positioned nicely in here. It looks nice. Both Roxas and Twyla leans against something to catch their breath and the redhead walked in.
"Thank you." Twyla says to both of them.
"Oh, so you can talk." The redhead joked as he placed a hand on his hip. "Are you okay, kiddo?"
"Yeah." Twyla says nodding. "I'm just fine. Thanks to you two." She looks back and forth between Roxas and the redhead. "Um… my name is Twyla."
"Axel." The redhead says rubbing the back of his neck. "You need to be more careful." Twyla nods in agreement.
"Yeah… well I'm new here." Twyla says with a shrug. To be honest, she's never seen the likes of these creatures in her life. Come to think of it, she doesn't even really remember her past and how she got onto that train.
"Let's go, Roxas. I'm beat." Axel says turning to the exit.
"Wait! Before you go… I need to know what's going on." Twyla says which makes Axel stop in his tracks. He turns around to face her. "What exactly are these 'Nobodies'? Where do they come from?"
"Nobodies are empty shells. They have no hearts." Axel explains with a shrug. Twyla gave Axel a confused look. She questioned the fact how something has no heart, yet it is still able to interact. "They have no direction, except to get a heart of their very own. That's why they attack people."
Axel looks at Twyla's confused look once again. "You really don't know anything, do you?" Twyla shakes her head with a frown. "Alright - I'll tell you."
Axel explained to Twyla that when a person loses their heart. Their heart goes to darkness, called the Heartless. And the empty shell left behind goes to the Nobodies. He explained how there are different varieties of Nobodies of which she saw and there are others. Some take human form, which dominate over the other Nobodies. He also explained how dangerous the Heartless can be and what they can be after.
After this, Twyla understood the sum of what was going on. And asked. "Is there anything I can do to help? I mean… it sounds like there's a lot of people who could use some help. Especially with some of the Heartless and Nobodies."
"Well, in order for you to help is that you are able to materialize a weapon." Axel responded with a sigh. "Which as I can see, you haven't been able to do quite yet."
"Well, how do I 'materialize' a weapon?" Twyla asked curiously.
Axel smiled at her determination. "Let's say Roxas and I come back tomorrow." Axel suggested. "Then see what we can do from there."
"Okay." Twyla says with a nod.
"Let's go, Roxas." Axel says turning to the exit once again. "See ya." Roxas follows Axel out and Twyla gives the two a small wave.
Twyla then quickly remembers that she doesn't have a place to sleep tonight. And the night has drawn near. She frowns and figures this is a safe place to sleep tonight. At least for tonight. No one would really care, would they?
