[i][color=darkgray]Traverse Town, 2nd District[/color][/i][/center]

[indent][color=silver]"No way... I can lose!"[/color] Leon cut is way through to the First District. His Gunblade was lethal and exacting as he cut down Shadows and Soldiers alike. Effortless as he made it look, beads of sweat were pouring down his forhead. By the time he reached the gate, he was nearly out of breath. He pushed himself to make it the last of the way, forcing himself through the massive door and into the square. Without question, he sprinted towards the Item shop ahead, skipping steps as he charged up and into the room. [color=silver]"Cid!"[/color] he said, [color=silver]"Aerith and Yuffie are--"[/color]

[color=a2d39c]"Right here Squall!"[/color] Yuffie hopped over and across the counter. Aerith, who had been patiently waiting in the opposite corner, also stepped into view. 

[color=f49ac2]"Yeah. We figured we'd come looking for you. But then the Heartless showed up, so we made our way here,"[/color] Aerith explained. 

[color=a2d39c]"That [b]IS[/b] what we planned for in case of an attack like this,"[/color] Yuffie added cheekily, staring at Leon. 

[color=silver]"Right."[/color] Leon recomposed himself quickly. [color=silver]"Are you both okay?"[/color]

[color=f49ac2]"Mhmmm."[/color] Aerith Nodded. 

[color=a2d39c]"Never better!"[/color] Yuffie piped. 

[color=f49ac2]"You, Leon?"[/color]

[color=silver]"Yeah. I'm good... just, a lot of Heartless out there."[/color]

"And now that we're all reacquainted, how about we come with a damn plan!" Cid barked from behind that counter, dropping his fists heavily upon its top on the word 'plan.'

[color=silver]"Well the way in from the main gate is secured. And Zac has some other Keybearers here with him."[/color] 

[color=a2d39c]"Zaaac--?"[/color] Yuffie gestured for Leon to elaborate. 

[color=silver]"[i]Keyblade[/i] Zac."[/color]

Yuffie snapped her finger that understood. [color=a2d39c]"And the other Keybearers?"[/color]

"A little more focus!" Cid spat. 

[color=silver]"Later, Yuffie. Anyways, you two made it here, so the way from the Second District, I'll take it, is secured?[/color]

[color=f49ac2]"Correct."[/color]

[color=silver]"Then it looks like the best we can do is maintain a watch from here. This is the designated safe zone. Evveryone should be making their way here. And Zac can help anyone that needs it."[/color]

[color=f49ac2]"And the Keybears he brought with him. There are other travelers around too! They'll probably help out."[/color]

[color=silver]"Now that that's settled le--"[/color] A tolling of the Gizmo Shop bell cut of Leon's next orders. [color=silver]"No..."[/color] Another tolling of the bell came through walls. [color=silver]"Don't... Not now... after..."[/color] A third chime, more defeaning than the previous two, also called out into the night. [color=silver]"Change of plans! We're going to the Second District!"[/color] Leon, rushed out of the door as furiously as he had burst in, skidding the corners up the stairs into the next District; a wave of healing magic from Aerith caught up with him as he flung himself through the doors, her companions on his heels. [color=silver]"It's too late! It's here!"[/color]

Leon, Yuffie, and Aerith, al jumped down into the plaza. Keyblade Zac had arrived ahead of them, and was already squared off against the powerful Guard Armor, the most powerful of the Heartless that manifested on Traverse Town. 

[color=f49ac2]"Isn't that the one that we..."[/color]

[color=silver]"Yeah, but it got set free. There's only one thing to do now."[/color] 

[color=f49ac2]"Right. Let's go Yuffie!"[/color]

The trio split up. Aerith cast [i]Cure[/i] on Zac. Yuffie set to work, pelting the Guard Armor's arms with throwing stars; not the most effective means of fighting them, but enough to keep them thoroughly annoyed with her, in theory. Meanwhile, Leon, cast magic upon his Glunblade, coating it with a etherial aura that projected a cutting edge almost four times the blade normal length. He charged forward and leapt into the air, driving the enchanted blade downward towards the Guard Armor's torso.[/indent]
