Hey guys, Sorry this chapter took a little long. I broke my thumb at the gym. >.> My spotter was to busy talking on his phone to help me. That jerk. Anyway here is the chapter.
Xigbar looked over the burning city before him. Ukiz was his.
“Sir, Some of my men wanted to know what we should do with the Chrisen population that we’ve captured.”
Xigbar looked over at the Slecus officer.
“Do as you want with them. I don’t care.” Xigbar said. He didn’t like working with people in war times. He preferred the husks of his Assassin nobodies.
The officer’s face brightened up. He said the order into his radio and shots rang out over the city.
Xigbar did however like captain Olshalger. He was ruthless and commanding.
Olshlager stood a tall 6 foot 5 inches. He had short blond hair and bright blue eyes. He spoke in a voice that had a natural hardness. He came from a wealthy family and how he took control of a room showed it.
He had a hatred of anything that was from Hollow bastion. The only thing he hated more was Chrisen. Their existence was a threat to the glory that was the human race. Their disgusting eyes; Olshlager hated that the most of all. Those disgusting green eyes made him want to vomit. All Chrisens did, after all, was steal jobs and stab normal people in the back. It was a fundamental thing he learned from childhood that stuck with him since.
“Sir, what exactly do you have planned for the S.O.L.D.I.E.R. led invasion force that is suppose to push us out?”
“Don’t worry. Luxord’s fleet will be here soon. To make sure they are kept in check though, I’ll send a division of my assassins over to their encampment. They’ll suffer so many losses they won’t be able to keep a occupying force that will be a threat to ours.
Riku walked alongside Joshua. He had told them where the information Tono is. He is held up in a large private owned estate that was formerly a castle. Not an uncommon sight on worlds that had been controlled by Hollow Bastion and not uncommon to be used by all kinds of people. They were making their approach now. Riku and Joshua would take the lead and go in through a side entrance, while Trevor and Holly went through from the roof. Donald, Goofy, and the others would cause a diversion to draw the attention of the guards and mercenaries. If everything went well Riku’s team and Trevor’s team would have taken out the more elite guards so Donald and Goofy’s team wouldn’t be fighting anyone the kids couldn’t handle.
Neku, Shiki, Rhyme, and Beat had armed themselves with different pins to defend themselves with. They weren’t strong fighters but they would have Donald and Goofy there to keep them out of any real danger.
“We’re here Riku.” Joshua said as he motioned towards the men guarding the small hidden door on the side of the castle. “We going to take them out?”
“NO!” River yelled at Trevor from atop Riku’s head.
Riku agreed, “River’s right. We’re shouldn’t kill anyone if we don’t have to! Knock them out with magic”
“Fine, have it your way,” Joshua rolled his eyes as he focused his telepathy pin and thrust the one of the two guards towards the wall, knocking him out.
Before the second guard could react Riku cast a sleep spell, causing the man to drop to the ground. The boys approached the door. Of course the door was locked but one tap of the keyblade opened it right up.
“That is a great tool…” Joshua said underneath his breath, “I may have to get one of my own.”
“I have only used this spell a few times Trevor.” Holly’s voice wavered,
“It’s okay Princess, I’m sure you’ll have it dead on.” Trevor responded reassuringly.
“Okay, here it goes,” The young girl said.
Holly closed her eyes and put her hand in front of her as she drew the magic from her body. A white portal slowly but surely opened. She opened her eyes and smiled.
“See,” Trevor said cheerfully as he patted her on the back, “I knew you could open up a portal princess. Portals be they dark or light are much better than having to walk or, in this case, climb somewhere.”
Trevor and Holly stepped through the portal and disappeared then reappeared on top of the roof. Holly was short of breath. She still wasn’t use to making portals yet. They spotted the guards patrolling the top towers where they now stood.
“Don’t worry princess,” Trevor whispered, “You catch your breath while I take out the guards.”
Holly nodded as Trevor leapt down the steps to the stone walkway. He silently approached the first guard. He got right up behind him before hitting him in the pressure points on his sides making him drop to the ground and then punched him hard on the side of the head. He didn’t want to accidentally trip any alarm system that would go off if a guard’s heart rate was being monitored.
He repeated the process with the rest of the guards before returning to Holly.
“You ready?” He asked
“Yeah,” She responded.
“Then let’s get this show on the road.” He said with a wink.
The monsters stormed after Latika as she ran down the hall. She still couldn’t believe that she was actually trapped on a ship with… monsters, real monsters. Her heart pumped faster and faster still as she reloaded her pistol with a magazine she took off a monster she killed. She snapped the clip in place and turned around and shot at the legs of the monster in front.
The bullet hit just above the shin causing the monster to fall to the ground and trip the others behind it. Latika didn’t know the man that had been turned into that creature but she knew that it was someone’s friend and she had pry past him plenty of times in the mess hall. She still couldn’t deal with the fact that
those things that now hunted her and Sam through this ship had been their crew mates.
She sprinted over to the monsters that now lay on the ground and shot them all in the head before they could get back up.
“Hello!?” said a voice, “Is anyone out there?”
“I’m here!” Latika answered
“I’m in the janitor’s room, I locked myself in. There aren’t any of those things out there still are there?”
“No,” Latika said, “It’s safe.”
She walked towards the janitor’s door and knocked on it. The door opened and she saw a man in an officer’s uniform.”
“Who are you,” She asked
“I’m head officer of this wing of this deck.” He answered, “I hid in here when I realized you couldn’t kill those… those THINGS.”
“You can kill them,” Latika corrected “You just have to shoot them in the head.”
“I see,” The officer nodded, “Then it must be that that thing they took on the ship that’s causing this. It’s not super natural at all if you can kill those bastards.”
“Wait, what thing?” Latika asked
“Well… we… were here picking up a weapon. A biological weapon developed by our Allies in the Organization. I was told we would be holding it until we got to Ukiz. Well… Last time I checked in with anyone on the radio they said something about the weapon leaking out of the containment room. I guess those things is the result of the weapon.” The officer said.
Latika put her hand to her head. That was a lot to take in. She shook her head and tried to regain her composure. “Do you still have your radio?”
“No, one of those things grabbed it. It’s on a private station for officers so we can’t get the signal if we use a normal soldier’s.” He responded.
“Do you remember where they grabbed it?”
“yes, in hallway 9F.”
Latika knew what she had to do. She had to get that radio. It was the only thing she thought that would give her and Sam a chance at getting out of this mess.
“Stay here, I’ll go find the radio.”
The man nodded.
Latika took in a deep breath and started for Hallway 9F and the only chance she had to getting off “The Nero”
