Chapter 7:
Day 51:
Roxas slowly opened his eyes, they adjusted to the light in his room. He sat up and try to remember how he had gotten here, he saw the sea shells next to his bed and wondered why they were there. Then he remembered the rumor that someone was eliminated at Castle Oblivion. Roxas quickly jumped up and ran down the hallway nearly knocking over Demyx.
Demyx: "Woah watch it Roxas! Wait a minute...Roxas is awake? I wonder where he is going in such a hurry?"
Roxas ran into the grey room where Saix stood next to a closing dark corridor. Saix was surprised to see Roxas awake and active.
Saix: "Roxas? You're awake! Are you feeling okay."
Roxas: "Yeah yeah, i'm fine but what did you find out about the members at Castle Oblivion?"
Saix: "They were eliminated."
Roxas: "They? You mean there was more than one destroyed?"
Saix: "That's correct, but we are not sure how many."
Roxas: "What about Axel?"
Saix: "I have no idea what has happened to him. In any case it's not a matter of your concern."
Roxas looked worried, Saix was puzzled by how Roxas was seemingly expressing emotion. Saix concluded that if Roxas' focus was on Castle Oblivion he would never be able to perform his missions very well. Even though it sickened him to do so, Saix decided to offer some words to ease Roxas' mind, or atleast he hoped.
Saix: "Look if it is any consilation, Axel is strong, it's unlikely he was destroyed. He's crafty so I doubt he would let himself be eliminated easily. My guess is that he survived."
Roxas: "I hope so."
But Saix's words did nothing to calm Roxas, he still was choked up and scared, though he didn't understand how he felt this emotion of fear for Axel's fate. Roxas thought of Xion, maybe talking to her might help the choked up sensation go away.
Roxas: "Where is Xion?"
Saix: "I just sent her on her mission today. Speaking of which, do you feel like you're upto a mission today? You have alot of making up to do."
Of course Roxas didn't feel like doing a mission, he was far to worried. But maybe a mission would help get his mind off of all this if only for a little while.
Roxas: "I guess so."
Saix: "Good because I have a mission in Agrabah I need you to take care of."
Saix opened a dark corridor. Roxas slowly entered the corridor arriving just behind the corner of a shop in Agrabah. Roxas could hear Aladdin and Jasmine speaking to eachother just around the corner.
Jasmine: "Are you sure Aladdin, another sandstorm?"
Aladdin: "Unfortunately, yes. All of the merchants were talking about it."
Jasmine: "This is terrible."
Aladdin: "That's only one of the things that's got me worried. The heartless have been showing up all over Agrabah."
Jasmine: "Heartless!?"
Aladdin: "Yeah. They always appear in greater numbers right before a sandstorm hits."
Jasmine: "Oh no, I hope this isn't a sign of things to come."
Aladdin and Jasmine walked over toward the palace gates allowing Roxas to come out of hiding.
Roxas: "So the heartless are connect to these sandstorms? I should keep that in mind just in case. Now let's see, I was supposed to eliminate some Fire Plant heartless."
A Fire plant appeared in front of Roxas looking ready for a fight. Roxas summoned his keyblade and hit the heartless with a blizzard spell destroying it on spot.
Roxas: "One down, a few more to go."
Roxas took out a few more Fire plants before ending up at the city gates. 3 fire plants appeared along with a heartless Roxas had not seen before. It was floating and carried a book with it. This new heartless summoned a barrier around the 3 fire plants preventing Roxas from damaging them.
Roxas: "Maybe if I take out the heartless with the book it will get rid of those barriers. Worth a try, THUNDER!"
But Roxas' magic had no effect on the book wielding heartless so Roxas had no choice but to chase it down. Roxas got the jump on the heartless bringing it to the ground he jabbed his keyblade into the heartless completely destroying it. With the barriers gone Roxas was able to take out the remaining fire plants with ease.
Roxas: "I suppose that I have eliminated enough fire plants. Mission accomplised I guess."
Roxas sighed and looked at the sand covered ground.
Roxas: "I still feel worried, I still have that choking in my throat. Axel....."
Roxas entered the dark corridor worried even more than before. On the other side of the dark corridor was the clock tower. Roxas bought himself and ice cream and went to the top of the clock tower to eat it. After finishing his ice cream he looked down at his feet.
Roxas: "Axel hasn't shown up yet, maybe he really was...."
Xion: "Roxas!?"
Roxas turned to his left to see Xion come from behind the corner.
Xion: "You're awake! Roxas, i'm so glad you're okay. Did you see the sea shells I brought to you while you were asleep? I brought you one for each day you were sleeping."
Roxas: "That was you who brought them? Xion....thank you."
Xion: "Hehehe, no problem."
Roxas sighed and looked down again. Xion could tell something was wrong, and she bet it had to do with Axel.
Xion: "I guess you heard about the members at Castle Oblivion."
Roxas: "Yeah....."
Xion: "I'm sorry Roxas."
Xion sat next to Roxas, she couldn't really think of anything to say to him, what could she say to make him feel better?
Xion: "I guess we have to wait until Xigbar and Saix finish their investigation at Castle Oblivion."
Xion felt bad that she couldn't help Roxas feel better. The rest of their conversation was pretty silent, not much was said between the two nobodies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I was choked up for the next few days, my attention focused on Xigbar and Saix's investigation of Castle Oblivion. Each day I asked Saix for an update but he would say there was either nothing to report or that it was none of my concern. But he's wrong, I am concerned, after all Axel is my friend. Saix also allowed me to start purchasing and synthezing stuff with a little creature called a moogle who appearantly has been selling stuff to the organization just recently. Xion has been the only thing that has kept me from going insane with worry. Thank goodness she is here, i'm glad we're friends, I don't know if I could stay sane without a friend with me now. Most of my missions were minor though I had to eliminate a giant heartless called Tail Bunker yesterday. I hope Axel is okay, and I hope I don't lose Xion soon too."
-Roxas
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 55:
Roxas was sent with Xion to the underworld again today. Their mission was to collect hearts in an area different than the one Roxas explore with Marluxia and Vexen earlier. Just as last time the underworld weakened Roxas and now Xion.
Xion: "I feel horrible, why do we have to collect hearts here?"
Roxas: "I don't know. I don't pick the missions I just do them."
Xion: "Let's get this over with quick. I don't like this place."
Roxas: "Yeah, I agree."
As the two travel into this new area of the underworld Roxas didn't notice any differences until the two found there path was blocked off by a wall of blue flames.
Roxas: "Just great, how are we supposed to collect hearts if we can't even get to where the heartless are?"
Xion: "Simple, just watch!"
Xion cast a blizzard spell on the wall of blue flames but to her surprise it did not get rid of the fire.
Roxas: "Simple, huh?"
Xion: "Well do you have any better ideas?"
Roxas: "Vexen said I should state what I see."
Xion: "Huh?"
Roxas: "When Vexen taught me how to do recon, he said I should just state what I see. If I do that, then the answer will come to me. Let's see.....Oh the flame is blue so I wonder if it's color corresponds to anything?"
Xion: "Hmm....you might be right."
Xion looked at the flames and thought of what Roxas said about the color corresponding to something. She felt a cold wind blow across her face and that's when it hit her.
Xion: "Cold wind....."
Roxas: "Huh?"
Xion: "Well the cold wind made me think of the blizzard spell. The blizzard spell is blue just like the flames. But the blizzard spell couldn't put the flames out so maybe we need to use the opposite of blizzard to put out the flames."
Roxas: "In other words fire."
Xion: "Exactly."
Roxas cast a fire spell at the flames but still the blue flames did not got out.
Roxas: "Rrrgh, this is aggravating."
Xion noticed what looked to be a hidden channel in the wall that led into the ground. She also noticed a hole in the wall where the channel began. Xion looked close at the blue flames closely and noticed they were coming from holes in the ground. She turned and looked at Roxas.
Xion: "Hey Roxas, try shooting a fire spell into this hole in the wall."
Roxas: "Well okay but I don't know what this will accomplish."
Roxas shot a fire spell into the hole. The fire ball went into the channel and into the ground, finally coming out of the holes in the ground where the blue flames where coming from, the red flames from the fire spell put out the blue flames, clearing the path for Roxas and Xion.
Roxas: "Xion, you're a genius."
Xion: "Hehehe...Thanks Roxas."
Roxas: "Okay let's keep going."
As the two traveled deeper into the underworld they encountered more flames, some were red that had to be put out by shooting a blizzard spell into a channel in the wall. Some were blue which had to be put out by fire spells. The two also encountered a few heartless on their way into the underworld. Until they found themselves blocked off by black flames.
Roxas: "These flames aren't like the other ones."
Xion: "Black flames....is it darkness?"
Roxas: "Only one way to find out."
Xion: "You don't mean? Roxas, that could be dangerous."
Roxas: "I'm only going to use my left hand. If it's really flames of darkness then my hand should start to fade, like it would if I was dying."
This made Roxas think of the members in Castle Oblivion, it must have been horrible to fade into darkness. Roxas began thinking of Axel once again. Roxas removed his glove from his left hand.
Xion: "Carefull Roxas."
Roxas: "I'll be fine, don't worry."
Roxas stuck his hand into the darkness and instantly it started to fade but Roxas pulled his hand out as quick as he could and it returned to normal. His hand felt cold, Roxas hated the feeling he got from the darkness.
Xion: "What did it feel like?"
Roxas: "Empty and cold, it felt horrible. I can't believe the guys in Castle Oblivion had to feel such a horrible sensation all over their whole body. I hope Axel was spared such a fate."
Xion: "Roxas....."
Roxas: "I'll be okay, well I guess that lightning might make the darkness go away. But I don't see a hole in the wall around here."
Xion looked up and saw a hole above them and a channel in the ceiling. She also noticed some holes above the dark flames.
Xion: "Shoot some lightning into that hole above us."
Roxas did just that and the lightning traveled through the channel coming out of the holes above the dark flames and again their path was cleared. The two finally made it to a dead end.
Xion: "We didn't really encounter many heartless, did we?"
Roxas: "No, but we're at a dead end. I guess this means mission complete."
Suddenly a large group of heartless appeared before the two.
Roxas: "Nevermind, after this it will be mission complete."
The two were able to defeat all the heartless but Xion was worn out because of the underworld sapping her strength. Roxas opened a dark corridor.
Roxas: "Come on Xion, let's RTC so you can get some rest."
She nodded and followed Roxas into the dark corridor.
Meanwhile:
At Castle Oblivion Axel watched from behind a white column as Xigbar and Saix left through a dark corridor.
Axel: "Geez, how does Saix expect me to find that chamber of waking or whatever with them searching for me all the time? And why am I avoiding them anyways? Is it to protect Namine? Ah why should I care.....no really why should I care?"
Axel couldn't figure out why cared about Namine being found by the organization or not, why did he want to help her stay hidden? Ever since he had met Sora, he felt different somehow.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 56:
Saix greeted Roxas in the grey room.
Saix: "Roxas, today you will be meeting with Luxord in the hall of empty melodies for you training today."
Roxas: "Training? What kind of training?"
Saix: "Well, you'll find out once you get to the hall of empty melodies wont you?"
Roxas didn't know why Saix was such a jerk all the time but he had to put up with his attitude anyways so he ignored it as he walked to the hall of empty melodies where Luxord was waiting for him. Roxas wondered what type of guy Luxord was, hopefully he wasn't like Larxene or Saix.
Luxord: "Ah, Roxas, good day."
Roxas: "Oh umm, good morning."
Roxas felt such relief, Luxord was polite like Zexion and Marluxia.
Luxord: "We haven't really gotten to speak much since you joined us, have we? Well let's hope fate has us more meetings in store for the future. Now today Roxas you will be given your own lesser nobody."
Roxas: "Lesser nobody?"
Luxord: "As you already know the organization controls nobodies without human form called lesser nobodies. Each one of us have under our control a type of lesser nobody that takes after our own power and weapon. Recently nobodies have been form that take after you Roxas."
Roxas: "Really?"
Luxord stuck out his hand and summoned a samurai nobody.
Roxas: "Wow!"
Luxord: "This type is known as the samurai. Roxas these lesser nobodies are your minions to control in battle. Of course you will also be given control over dusk and creepers which can be controlled by all organization members."
Roxas: "Wh...wait you said these nobodies had to be form. What do you mean?"
Luxord: "Lesser nobodies start out as dusk or creepers when born but thanks to the power Xemnas has, he can take a dusk or creeper and transform them into a new type of nobody, one type per organization member. So your mission today is to learn how to summon the samurai into battle."
Roxas looked at the samurai and the samurai looked back at it's master.
Luxord: "Establishing trust between your lesser nobody and you is key to summoning them."
Roxas: "I understand, almost like friendship."
Luxord: "Well umm...yes in a way I guess..."
Luxord never thought of it that way before. Roxas's ability to make friends even though he is a nobody was interesting.
Luxord: "Now, summoning is not that different from a spell."
Luxord dismissed the samurai.
Luxord: "Roxas close your eyes and picture the nobody before you and then shout 'Summon!'"
Roxas closed his eyes, trusting his nobody to appear, he pictured the samurai in his mind.
Roxas: "Summon!"
Suddenly a samurai came forth.
Roxas: "Hey, I did it!"
Luxord: "Very good Roxas. Now try to dismiss the samurai, simply tell it to away."
Roxas stuck out his hand and looked at the nobody.
Roxas: "Away!"
The samurai dissapeared in the same way it appeared. Luxord began clapping.
Luxord: "With these lesser nobodies you have an ace up your sleeve in battle. Remember, right now you can also summon dusk and creepers too. Over time more members may allow you to use their own lesser nobodies in battle."
Then a shadow appeared, it's apperance in the castle took Luxord by surprised as the heartless usualy remained in the dark city, but either way this worked out nicely for Roxas' training.
Luxord: "Okay Roxas summon a creeper this time and send it into battle with this heartless."
Roxas nodded and summoned a creeper. The nobody morphed into a sword and slashed right through the shadow. Then Roxas dismissed the nobody.
Luxord: "Roxas, well done."
Roxas: "Haha! Thanks. Umm......Luxord, you wouldn't happen to know anything about what happened to the members at Castle Oblivion, would you?"
Luxord: "Sorry Roxas, i'm afraid not. It's not my game to investigate Castle Oblivion. All I know is that multiple members were eliminated."
Roxas: "Oh okay......"
Luxord: "But if it's Axel you're worried about then try not to worry. That man is extremely crafty, I doubt he could die so easily."
Roxas: "Saix said almost the same thing."
Luxord: "And he's probably right."
As Roxas went to his room he really hope Saix and Luxord were right about Axel, it scared him to think of his friend gone. Roxas had so many thoughts racing through his head.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 57:
Roxas didn't get much sleep last night, he was to busy thinking of Castle Oblivion and Axel even though he knew at the moment he could do nothing but wait until Saix's and Xigbar's investigation was over. He stood up and walked to the grey room, he felt sick for some reason and he looked even more pale than usual. Xion noticed Roxas' sickely look as he entered the grey room. She approached Roxas but before she could say anything Saix began to speak to Roxas.
Saix: "Today your mission is to investigate the strange shadow globs that have appeared in Twilight Town. You will be going with Xion."
Roxas nodded, he really didn't feel like doing any missions at all today. Xion followed Roxas into the dark corridor and as soon as they were in Twilight Town Xion had to ask why Roxas was sick.
Xion: "Roxas you look sick..."
Roxas: "I'll....I'll be fine."
Xion: "Roxas, you're not fine. Listen just let me do most of the work today okay."
Roxas: "I guess so Xion."
Xion: "Roxas, I think you're worrying yourself sick over the stuff at Castle Oblivion."
Roxas: "I'm fine really......."
Xion: "Well if you say so. But still, i'll do most of the fighting today."
The two began searching for shadow globs, whatever that was and just as Xion said, she handled most of the heartless they encountered. Once they got to the weaponry shop in station heights they found a weird glob of darkness on the ground.
Xion: "I guess this must be a shadow glob. Doesn't look all that threatining to me."
Roxas: "Why would Saix want us to eliminate these things then?"
Xion: "Hmm....."
A group of shadows and possesors then appeared around the shadow glob. Xion took out most of them with her thunder magic. Roxas noticed something about the heartless in the town today. He started to make a connection between the shadow globs and the heartless that were showing up in the town today.
Roxas: "Xion, haven't you noticed something about the heartless in the town today?"
Xion: "No why?"
Roxas: "Because all the heartless we have encountered today have been pure blood heartless, I haven't seen a single emblem heartless all day."
Xion: "What's your point?"
Roxas: "I think these shadow globs only attract pureblooded heartless. And purebloods don't release hearts."
Xion: "So if we want to collect hearts we need to get rid of the shadow globs to make the emblems come back."
Roxas: "Exactly."
Roxas used a fire spell on the shadow glob completely destroying it. The two found 7 more shadow globs around town and destroyed each of them. Afterwards they went to the clock tower for ice cream. Xion was really worried about Roxas, he had his eyes close like he was trying to sleep.
Xion: "Roxas?"
Roxas dropped his ice cream, it fell all the way to the ground.
Xion: "Roxas!"
Roxas: "Huh? Oh sorry Xion I just...."
Xion: "Roxas, i'm sure Axel is fine but........please stop doing this to your self!"
Roxas could see Xion was concerned about him. He felt bad that he was hurting his friend.
Xion: "I'm sorry Roxas. I guess beings without hearts aren't good at comforting eachother."
Roxas realized then that even if Axel was gone, he still had Xion and it was wrong to hurt himself like this, because it hurt her. Roxas decided right then to cheer up, so Xion wouldn't be worried anymore.
Roxas: "Xion, i'm sorry. I promise I will get alot of sleep tonight and i'll be alot better in the morning."
Xion: "Thank you Roxas."
Even if he had lost Axel, Roxas wasn't about to ruin his friendship with Xion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 58:
Xaldin and Roxas were sent to the new world of Halloween Town to collect hearts. As with Xemnas, Roxas didn't feel all that comfortable around Xaldin. The man was kinda large like Lexeaus, Roxas could only hope Xaldin was as polite as Lexeaus. Unfortunately Roxas would learn the opposite was true as they appeared in the entrance to Halloween Town. The firs thing Roxas noticed about this world was it's dark and creepy atmosphere.
Roxas: "This place is kinda spooky."
Xaldin: "Are you scared? Oh please, have some guts, Roxas."
Roxas: "............."
A group of icy cubes appeared in front of the two nobodies ready for a fight.
Xaldin: "Looks like the welcoming party has arrived. Roxas, focus!"
Roxas: "Yeah."
Xaldin used the wind to make a small tornadoe to shoot a bunch of icy cubes into the air and then sliced through them with his lances as they fell back down. Roxas used his fire magic to dispose of some of the icy cubes. The heartless were no match for the combined power of number III and XIII.
Roxas: "We make a pretty good team huh?"
Xaldin: "Ha! Like your strength could ever rival mine. When you get stronger then we'll talk about being a team."
Roxas: "Geez....sorry I said anything."
Xaldin: "Enough talking we need to collect more hearts."
As the two walked to the town square Roxas noticed alot of declorations. Once they were in the town square Roxas noticed more declorations and he wondered what was going on in the town.
Roxas: "Why is this place so decorated?"
Xaldin: "Is it not obvious? Obviously there is some kind of holiday going on."
Roxas: "What's a holiday?"
Xaldin: "Not only are you weak but you're a little on the slow side too. A holiday is a special day that comes around once a year where people celebrate something."
Roxas: "And declorations are part of that celebration?"
Xaldin: "Exactly."
Roxas: "So what are they celebrating?"
Xaldin: "Like it matters? Let's just keep looking for heartless."
Roxas was curious about this holiday. He could see pumpkins with faces carved into them and fake bones tied together wrapped around buildings and pumpkin lights. What kind of holiday is this? He wondered. They made their way to the graveyard.
Roxas: "Okay now i'm officialy creeped out. A graveyard?"
Xaldin: "Xemnas should have called you the Chatter box of Destiny, since that is all you really do."
Roxas was starting to get tired of Xaldin's attitude and he was about to say something when a group of soldier heartless appeared along with some carrier ghost. Together Xaldin and Roxas took the heartless out. Roxas noticed one coffin that seemed to be like a door but he couldn't open it and there was no keyhole for him to use his keyblade on.
Roxas: "I wonder how we get through here?"
Xaldin: "Did Vexen teach you nothing about recon? Look around you. Like these lanterns around here, perhaps they are the key to unlocking this coffin."
Roxas: "I guess it's worth a try."
Roxas used his fire magic to light all four lanterns and like Xaldin predicted the coffin opened.
Roxas: "It opened! Nice thinking there Xaldin."
Xaldin: "I don't need your compliments. Now let's keep moving."
Roxas couldn't stand Xaldin, even when he tried to be nice he couldn't please Xaldin. The two made their way to moonlight hill where there were more carved pumpkins scattered everywhere.
Roxas: "The moon makes this place look beautifull."
Xaldin: "Now you sound like Marluxia when he was admiring his gardens."
Heartless appeared before them again but just as before they took them out with ease.
Xaldin: "That should be enough hearts for today. Let us RTC."
When they got back to the town square they were forced to hide as Jack Skellington and Sally where in the town square now. The two nobodies decided to listen in on the conversation.
Jack: "Sally this is going to be the best Halloween ever! If I ever come up with some ideas."
Sally: "You're the pumpkin king, Jack. Surely you could come up with some wonderfull ideas."
Jack: "I guess i'm just having a brain block. Halloween is just missing something and I can't put my finger on what that is."
Sally: "Just give it somet time Jack, it will come to you eventualy."
Jack: "I hope it comes soon, everyone in Halloween Town is depending on me."
Jack and Sally left the town square, that's when Roxas and Xaldin came out of hiding.
Roxas: "So they're celebrating something called Halloween?"
Xaldin: "No they're not celebrating it. They are in charge of preparing Halloween each year. That skellington must be the king of Halloween itself."
Roxas: "So what is Halloween?"
Xaldin: "A ridicolus holiday devoted to spooky stuff and candy. Children go from house to house getting candy on Halloween."
Roxas: "Sounds kinda fun."
Xaldin: "Sounds kinda disgusting. Now let's RTC."
As Xaldin and Roxas entered the dark corridor Jack Skellington saw the dark corridor just as it closed. He was amazed by what he had just seen.
Jack: "What was that? A swirl of sinister smoke, there one minute, then gone the next...that's never been here before."
And Jack began to think.
Jack: "Hmm. Something unfamiliar popping up in a familiar place....popping...."
Jack then had a marvelous idea.
Jack: "Eureka! ballons filled with dark smoke all over Halloween Town! That's a great idea!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Day 59:
Roxas finished his breakfast which was his favorite breakfast pizza and headed off to the grey room where Demyx and Saix were waiting for him.
Saix: "You'll be heading to the underworld to collect hearts with Demyx today. I expect you to do well Roxas."
Saix opened a dark corridor for them and then walked off. Demyx didn't look too happy about this mission at all.
Demyx: "Oh man, did they pick the wrong guy for this one. Combat is not my thing. They should let Xaldin go with you or something."
Roxas: "NO! Please no, he is almost as bad as Larxene."
Demyx: "True I can't blame you there. Well let's get this over with."
The two entered the dark corridor and arrived at the underworld gates. Immediatly Demyx felt the underworld sapping his strength.
Demyx: "I feel terrible!"
Roxas: "Yeah this place will do that to you."
Demyx: "Let's try to finish this quick, okay?"
Roxas: "I agree 100%"
The two collected hearts as quick as they could of course it was harder than normal due to the underworld sapping their strength but thank goodness for potions atleast. Once they had collected enough hearts they began to walk back to the underworld gates.
Demyx: "Thank goodness that's over with."
Roxas: "I could use a bite to eat."
Demyx: "I've seen you at breakfast, you keep eating like you do and you are going to get fat."
Roxas: "Haha! That's why I work it off on these missions."
Demyx: "Well you're better than I at this, so good luck on these missions. I think I'll stick to treasure collecting and recon."
As the two approached the gate a massive three headed dog jumped from the massive hole in the ceiling right in front of Demyx and Roxas. It growled loudly. It's breath smelled horrible. Demyx was scared to death.
Demyx: "What is THAT!?"
Roxas: "Trouble, that's what it is."
Demyx: "I say we run!"
Roxas: "Run where? That thing looks fast, we could never get away from it. We have no choice we have to fight!"
Demyx: "Wha...what!?"
Roxas: "Ready? Let's Go!"
Roxas charged at Cerberus but his keyblade was blocked by one of it's massive heads. Roxas tried to pull the keyblade out of it's mouth but Cerberus was too strong, the massive dog swallowed the keyblade.
Roxas: "What the heck? It ate my keyblade."
Demyx: "And now it's going to eat us!"
Roxas: "Not on my watch it wont!"
Roxas resummoned his keyblade into his hand. This surprised the massive Dog allowing Roxas a split second to catch it off guard. Taking his chance Roxas jumped and slammed his keyblade on one of the dog's massive heads. With Cerberus distracted Roxas saw their chance to escape.
Roxas: "Demyx! Come on!"
The two ran into the dark corridor barely escaping Cerberus' wrath. Leaving the dog very hungry and angry.
At the clock tower Xion could tell Roxas was worn out. He explained to her about Cerberus and the though of such a monster scared her or atleast it would if she had a heart.
