Welcome to Gaia! ::

Naminé came running out of the old building. "Axel!" she yelled getting his attention. She wan't injured, but she was crying. "Axel, wait!" Then she heard Hael, behind her, saying something about setting up. "Huh?" she asked. She quickly dodged a Neo-shadow, but it still managed to cut her left shoulder, brining her on her knees. She still had her sketchbook, but something was different about it.

Naminé nodded, shaking. Her wound had been healed by Hael, but she backed away, going towards Axel's direction. Can he do that to any Nobody? What if he kills me or Roxas or Axel... "I'm....OK...." she stuttered.

Axel, rushed down the ally, when he heard faint footsteps rushing behind him. Looks back and sees Namine. Immediatly, he halted to wait, then saw hael behind her.

In the deep darkness, Xack was thinking to himself about a new plan.
"hmm that sorceress, Namine. If i remember correctly, Marluxia connected a link between him and her, while she slept. if i could capture her, i could use that link to find him and possibly the others. DAMMIT i should have grabbed her while i had the chance. looks like ill have to go back and..."

his thought was interupted as he saw a strange shadowy thing lying in the deepest part of the darkness. he walked towards it and saw that it appeared to be like a keyblade, made of the shadows.

"well isnt this intersting" he said to himself as he neared the weapon. this keyblade was different from the others in that it also had a blade sproting from both sides of the handle. he reached out towards it and it emmitted a burst of energy that caused him to be knocked back...far back.

then he heard a booming voice in his head "SHOW ME TRUE DARK POWER AND THEN I WILL BECOME YOURS!!!"

his dark powers far surpassed any he had ever encountered but it seemed to be not enough...not yet.

this blade would have to wait, he wasnt worried because no one else could even reach this far into darkness, so he dissapated into dark shadows to begin his search for Namine

Naminé looked from Hael to Axel. She didn't answer Hael's question, she only backed toward Axel. She was still shaking. "N-no," she said. She shivered, feeling the presence of darkness. She turned and ran to Axel and Roxas.

Sazuka takes a step back trying to figure out whats going on.

Riku glanced out the window and saw the enemy departing. "Huh?" he murmured, then called to Kairi, "Hey, come look at this!" Kairi came over and looked out the window too.

Sora was laying on a table with Cid who left the battlefield to tend to him, so leon could go back. "Sora leaned up, obviously feeling better and with a ice pack rapped on his forhead. "What is it," Sora said curiously. Cid grabbed his shoulder and pushed him back down on the table, "Stay down, kid, you might hurt yourself again!"

Riku turned to Cid, "The heartless and Nobodies are leaving!"

Cid looked up to him, "Say what?" then got up to go to the window and check it out, sure enough, they were leaving.

"Aw, come on guys, I wanna see!" whined Sora. Cid pointed a finger at him, "I said stay there you little punk."

Naminé reached Axel and Roxas, and more or less hid behind them. "Y-yes, I'm fine..." she said. She sighed in relief. Part of the dark aura had lifted. She stuck close to Axel and Roxas. "I'm sorry, Axel, Roxas. I'm such trouble..."
