Zero emerged from his portal and was instantly hit by chaos. Screams of civilians cried out amongst the arabic moonlight dunes of Agrabah. Zero had teleported in on the underbelly of the lands, but the veiling shadowing was not a metaphorical, social one. This was as physical and tangible as it gets. Heartless were swarming Agrabah. Zero adjust near enough immediately after emerging from his portalling ability. He strafed against a nearby wall and hugged it with his back and panning his eyes about his surroundings. He moved through the streets as a sleuth, creeping and crawling as silent and inconspicuously as his training had taught him to. He was about about to emerge from a darkened alley into one of the open, main streets, dipping out only his head before cranking it back in immediately after hearing screams herald a couple of young kids burst from some barn doors and scurry towards Zero in his alley. As they ran, a bandit Emblem Heartless bouldered out of the doors after them, striking the door of it's hinges with a swing of its sabre. Zero eased back a few steps, further into the shade of the alley, simply watching. The kids stumbled into the alley, one tripping forwards while other fell while turning back to look behind them. The first caught eyes with the stoic, apathetic Zero. The young girls pupils dilated with tears and fear. Zero looked back, with no sense of hope or reassurance from his end of the alley. Understand that he was not there to help, the girl turned back to hug her brother, who was edging backwards, but staying between the Bandit Heartless and his sister. Zero watched as the heartless bandit closed in. "Help us mister," begged the girl softly and genuinely. Zero nostrils flared slightly, but he didn't move. He watched as the Heartless grabbed the boy with his free hand. "No! Please don't kill my brother as well!" cried the girl, making an emotionally driven charge at the heartless while her brother squirmed in his grip. She tried to grab the sabre wielding arm, but the heartless thrust her away with force by swinging his arm into the alley. The sabre caught the necklace charm that hung from the girl's neck as she careered into alley with a tumble. Zero watch this unfold, and watched as the necklace twang its gold links on his boots when it literally fell at his feet. Zero watched as the girl, now streaming tears helplessly with eyes closed and nosey running with a mix of pain and snot lifted her head to the skies on her knees. "PLEASE SOMEONE SAVE MY BROTHER!" After stooping down to clutch at the gold-piece necklace, Zero finally heard the girl's request. The bandit pulled back his sabre-wield hand, the point of which glistened in the eyes of the young boy he had captured, but in the glisten, a circular purple rift realised behind the bandit in the smallest portion of an instant. Zero was behind the bandit, already mid swing, keyblade and necklace in-hand. A literal arms race between Zero's keyblade and the heartless's sabre saw Zero's midair swing carve through the neck of the bandit heartless just before the sword pierced the chest of the young kid. The kid dropped to the ground with a thud as the bandit vanished into vapour. The girl wiped some tears from her eyes and blinked, losing her breath in amazement of her brother still being alive. She touched at her neck, finally noticing a scratch from where her necklace tore against her skin. On the other side of the street a small man was lugging a sack of his goods while surrounded by much taller goons. The man kept glancing over his shoulder while he escaped surrounded by his entourage, to the point of bumping into the back of the lead goon due to not recognising when the group had grinded to a halt. "Hey! What's the big idea stupid! I don't pay you stop and taking in the scenery!" he barked. "Boss," replied the guard, already with his sabre to hand, as the other guards around him also drew on their weapons. The small man glances around his lead guard to see Zero standing opposite them deliberately obstructing them from walking passed him in the alley. He was gently tossing the golden necklace in his hand. [hr] "Save my Brother" - Gold Necklace - 1000 Munny [color=fff200][b]Total: 1000 MUNNY EARNED[/b][/color]
