I Want to be a Hero (Chp. 22)

~-~-~-~-~-~

            “You’re shitting me, right?” I glance up at the THOUSANDS of heartless that I have to defeat. Sora is blazing through his no problem, like it’s just normal to be surrounded by a thousand flying heartless at once, and not completely overwhelming and terrifying. Whatever. Little Rea can handle it… MAYBE. “AH.” I summon fireballs around me and struggle to keep my eyes open. It’s fight after fight today. Defeat MCP. Fight heartless. Fight nobodies. Okay, now fight a thousand at once. While you’re at it, why not juggle some more emotions and bad thoughts? That’s always helpful. You want to be consumed by the evil magic in your keyblade, right? Good. “GOD DAMMIT.” I scream, feeling pain searing through my arm. One of the heartless scratched up my arm pretty badly. I feel my eyes start to water from the pain and flood of thoughts. My arm throbs and my keyblade begins to pulsate green fire in beat with the throbs. I cast a few spells and take down packs of heartless faster than I can count. I defeated a thousand, then I defeated some of the ones Blair worked on, then some of the ones Donald was taking care of. I felt nothing but the pulses. Nothing but the pure energy that was flowing into me.

            “Rea.” Reality. “Calm down..” I snap my head back to worried Sora and begin to feel pain in my head, arm, and heart.

            “I’m sorry..” I squeeze my eyes shut and hold my arm, staring down at the blood. Sora touches my arm lightly and I tug it away.

            “No, I’m alright. There’s more important things right now.” Sora raises an eyebrow at me before dumping a potion on my arm.

            “There’s nothing more important than you.” He kisses my arm before turning and meeting up with the rest of the group. I feel a sigh escape my lips before I hurry towards them as well. Mickey glares at an organization member.

            "Xehanort!"

            "How long it's been since I abandoned that name.." Sora clenches his fist and steps toward him.

            "Out with it, Nobody! Where's Kairi? Where's Riku?"

            "I know nothing of any Kairi.. As for Riku, why don't you ask your king?" Blair and I snap our heads towards Mickey. Sora looks to the king in despair, who makes a mad dash to the man disappearing in a dark portal, leaving our group. Sora falls to the ground and slams his fist down angrily, I feel my stomach drop as I see the anger in his eyes.

            "Uhm... Guys?" All our eyes move to Blair, who points to a familiar red-headed organization member. His two trainees stood on either side of him.

            "Way to fall right into their trap." The tall redhead, who I recently realized was Yale's 'Axel', crosses his arms. "Cmon, it's a set-up by Organization XIII, Xemnas is using you to destroy the heartless, that's his big plan." Donald cocks his head to the side.

            "Xemnas?"

            "That guy you just saw. He's the leader of organization thirteen. Got it memorized?"

            "Why does organization thirteen want to get rid of the heartless?"

            "Man you're slow." This red head's got some nerve. He lifts his hand up and points to Sora's keyblade. " Every heartless slain with that keyblade releases a captive heart, that is what the organization is after." Yale shifts beside Axel, looking a bit uncomfortable.

            "What exactly are you going to do with those hearts?" I feel my stomach drop with the gruesome and morbid thoughts of what they could be doing. They're not... into that kind of thing, right?
