**Gail**

Gail struggled with the Shadow as it clawed at her armored forearms. It took her a few seconds to gather herself and force the Shadow off. The other two Shadows had already changed their focus to other who, to Gail's surprise, were up and actually fighting back against them. As Gail stood back up, the Shadow she had been fighting faded into the ground and moved to attack her from behind. Noticing this movement, Gail swung a fist back and slammed it into the head of the Shadow as it attempted to hop on her back. The Shadow flew a few feet before rolling on the ground to stand back up. As Gail moved to close the distance between her foe, a few more Shadows slid from a nearby alleyway and joined the battle. The injured Shadow rushed once more while the six reinforcement Shadows went to fight the new Nobodies. 

Gail was surprised at how well the newbies were fighting. Then again, if threatened Nobodies could respond surprisingly well. The injured Shadow, who Gail had already decided would be her foe, jumped as high as it could only for its attack to meet Gail's armored forearm. Gail responded by grappling the Shadow and slamming it into the ground. Unbeknownst to Gail, another Shadow had focused on her and clawed at her back as she eeked the life out of her foe. Three large scratches ran down Gails back as she forced the new enemy back. *"Damn it! We are going to be overwhelmed if we stay out in the open any longer. We need to deal with these guys and get out of here."* Gail muttered to herself as she punched at the Shadow which had injured her. The movement caused her to cringe and gave the Shadow enough of an advantage to be able to dodge the attack slash Gail's leg as it rolled by. Gail kneeled down from the pain as the Shadow readied itself to attack again. 

Gail knew she was vulnerable but couldn't let the others know so she rolled out of the way of the Shadow's pounce. As Gail recovered from the roll, the Shadow had closed the distance. Yet, the Shadow had gotten too close to Gail allowing her to slam her fist right into the side of the Shadow's head. The Shadow slid across the ground until it was able to get a grip on the ground. It wasn't long before Gail was able to stand up, though it caused some wincing from the pain of both her injuries. The new foe slid across the ground quickly before circling around Gail. She was unable to focus on one specific spot where the Shadow was at. This continued for a few seconds before Gail simply punched the ground. Though she missed the Shadow, it caused the Heartless to jump out of the ground in order to attack the unaware Gail. Gail had planned for this to happen so she side stepped the attack and upper cut the Shadow as it fell. The foe Heartless was lifted into the air by the force of the upper cut. The Shadow landed against the wall of a nearby building as Gail kneeled down from pain.
