Roxas watched as Morthos walked up. When he thanked them, Roxas scoffed a bit then walked off towards the east gate. [color=0072bc]"I'm not doing this for you anymore."[/color] He muttered in frustration. At this point it was to finish the mission and get Ophelia back home safe. He trusted in her ability's but, with a baby on the way, he wanted her to stay safe for now until they could talk more about it. Once at the gate he looked over the group of people that was gathered there. He sighed not really impressed but, as long as they could do the job he needed them to do, everything would be fine. [color=0072bc]"Okay here's the deal. I'm going to be in charge right now. Most of you are going to come with me and fight the demons in front of the cave. The rest will go with Jax to make sure she doesn't get killed in the process of capturing the Arch demon. If you all have family's then you need to say goodbye to them now. I don't know how many of you will come back. This is important so if you want out then leave now."[/color] As Roxas finished talking a more than half of the people there left. [color=0072bc]"Okay well there you have it. I'm not going to give you some brave speech about how this is for the glory of whatever or that you're deaths will mean something because there is a high chance that they won't and that this is all for nothing. that being said I will be the center of attention in this battle so if your a spellcaster, do what you can to help me. If I die it's all over. Now, let's go."[/color] Roxas turned to leave for the cave when he came across Jax, Ophelia, and Morthos. [color=0072bc]"I'm heading out now. Ophelia if you're feeling up to it you can come with me and help fight. I feel like it will be more dangerous in the cave with Jax. Morthos, I want you to stay with Jax. Do what she tells you to no matter what. This is bigger then the last battle we had and I don't want to have any more team deaths under my coat. I like you guys to much. Jax, I know I've kinda taken over here and I'm sorry about that. You know what to do. Give him hell for me."[/color] He smiled at Jax, gave Morthos a nod, he was still annoyed with him, then kissed Ophelia on the cheek. [color=0072bc]"If I die, then I want you all to abandon the mission and run as far as you can. Tell everyone you can to evacuate because what will come out of me is scarier then what's in that cave."[/color] That was probably an over exaggeration, but he wanted them to be safe. Roxas started to leave with the few warriors that was given to him, well the ones that followed. One spellcaster and two fighters. The rest left with Jax and Morthos. [color=0072bc]'Okay Roxas what's the game plan here?'[/color] He thought to himself. He was already prepared for battle, knifes out with his glave on his back. [color=0072bc]'Alright so we'll charge in head on and cut down as many as we can before they start to overrun me, if the spellcaster does his job then I can prevent having to use my mask. I'll keep it on just in case, but if something goes wrong then I'll have no choice. The two fighters should be able to hold out for a while as long as they stay back and take on the stragglers. As for Ophelia, I trust her to yell at me if she needs my help. I'll have one of the fighters stay with her.'[/color] Before he could finish thinking out his plan, they reached the outskirts of the cave. Hundreds of demons were waiting for them. Roxas turned to the others and explained the plan out to them. [color=0072bc]"Okay does everyone understand? If we follow this to the T, then I can keep you all alive, but you have to trust me and follow my lead."[/color] Everyone nodded in response and Roxas kissed Ophelia before he ran in. [color=0072bc]"No matter what happens, know that I love you with all my heart. I'll protect you and fight for you until the day I die."[/color] he kissed her again then turned to look at what awaited him. Without hesitation, Roxas charged into the hoard, Glave in hand. The demons were waiting for him and instantly surrounded him on all sides. Roxas only smiled as he started to cut them down one by one. The demons fell with ease at first which didn't come to a surprise to him. They probably planned too. This didn't bother Roxas at all, instead it made him smile even more. [color=0072bc]'How cute. You think you can plan over my plan?'[/color] He scoffed at this as he sliced the head off of a hell hound. To the left a flyer tried to swoop down on him, but he didn't expect Roxas to pull his knife out and trow it into it's chest. There was a short break after the first round of demons. Roxas looked over at Ophelia who seemed to be doing fine. The spellcaster started to cast a spell on Roxas who started to feel his energy return to him. The first fight didn't really tire him out at all. One of the fighters had been clawed up pretty bad but not enough to kill him or hinder him from fighting. Before Roxas was able to yell out to Ophelia, more demons started to attack. Ophelia pulled out her whip and started to take out some of the ones from the sky. That was a big help. Roxas smiled his evil smile then charged in again. Stabbing, slicing, breaking, everything that he could get his hands on. It was a blood bath. Behind him, he could hear a scream as if someone was getting mauled. It didn't sound like Ophelia so he didn't pay any mind to it. He had enough problems as it was. Six hell hounds charged at him on all sides. It was a tight spot and Roxas had to think quick. [color=0072bc]'Come one come on come one. Think you fool you only have a split second.'[/color] The hounds were getting closer and closer and at the last second, Roxas back flipped over the one behind him, causing them to slam into each other. One of them stopped before the collision happened and was ready as soon as Roxas landed. It lunged at him before he could react and chomped down on his right arm, sinking its teeth into him deeply. Roxas let out a yell as this happened then pulled out his other knife and stabbed it multiple times in the gut. Finally it let go then exploded. Roxas's arm went limp and was bleeding uncontrollably. [color=0072bc]'This isn't good. I wasn't planning on that.'[/color] He thought to himself. No matter. The enemy wasn't stopping so nor was he. Before running back into the fray, he ripped some cloth off his outfit and wrapped up his arm into a sling. It wasn't much, but it was better than letting it hang. he had to leave his glave behind sense he could use it with one hand. It also just so happened to be his bad hand. instead he just held onto his knife and kept fighting.
