[quote=CreedTheChimera] Suddenly, black spikes erupt from the ground under Xehanort, skewering the defenseless man. As quickly as they came, they went. And going by everyone's expressions, nobody in the group did it. "..." They all stare at the man, most carrying looks of horror, except for Mephiles and a few others. He could care less. [/quote] ((Huh...there goes a potential ally. I mean, I COULD save him..but then again, I'm not so sure..)) Xehanort's breathing pattern is now uneven as his will to go on is slowly fading."Ven....I'm..so sorry--" He pauses to cough up some blood,"I...couldn't...protect you..." Then, suddenly, he smiles. "To die here...knowing you're safe now...is good, ya know?" He coughs up even more blood.
