[ there is an odd noise, like hundreds of small, squeaky propellers, coming from behind a set of dark and elaborate doors. if one were to open the doors, they'd see Rapid Thrusters filling the entire room, milling about loudly as they are wont to do. ]

[... that's weird. but he pulls open the doors and--whoah what what what.]

[cardiophilia.livejournal.com]

[ the noise changes as all the Heartless stop moving about and turn to him, almost all at the same time. Heart. ]

[agedout.livejournal.com]

[sjfkl;s slams the fucking door!.]

[cardiophilia.livejournal.com]

[ the Heartless all start forward, even with the door closed. the sound of them hitting it is loud, but it doesn't seem like they can get out.

a shadow slips under the door silently. ]

[agedout.livejournal.com]

... what the hell were those things?

[mumbles, focused on keeping the door shut and looking if there's any lock.]

[cardiophilia.livejournal.com]

[ the Heartless inside eventually calm, going back to their mindless milling, but the shadow on the floor shifts and rises up, still completely silent. ]

[agedout.livejournal.com]

[he turns to go, and--oh god what's this, now.]

... nice creepy shadow thing.

[cardiophilia.livejournal.com]

[ it twitches, staring up at him with unblinking yellow eyes. Heart. ]

[agedout.livejournal.com]

[damn it, why couldn't Axel be around at times like these?]

Shoo! Get the fuck out of here!

[tinyf1re]

[ooh, interesting noise! :O hears it from some distance away, and follows it through the halls until he reaches the doors. pushes one of them open with minimal effort considering his size, and peeks in-- ooooh flying things. stares curiously up at them.]

[cardiophilia.livejournal.com]

[ they all stop as soon as the door opens, twitching to face his direction. Heart, they see, but danger too. the first wave approaches quickly nonetheless. ]

[tinyf1re]

[headtilts at them when they all turn to face him, but that quickly turns to bristling in fear and anger when a wave of them heads for him. braces himself against the doors -- did he just lean against the one he came in? oops -- and brings up a curved wall of flame in front of him that the first Heartless will have to fly through if they want to get to him.]

[cardiophilia.livejournal.com]

[ a Heartless' intelligence is questionable; they run purely on instinct, or so it's been said. however, intelligence is not needed when instinct can tell them that the fire is dangerous. the second wave stalls. ]

I'm so horrible.

[tinyf1re]

[reaches blindly behind himself to paw at the doors to try and get them open again, but even that little split in his concentration is enough to make the flames waver and diminish somewhat, enough for some of the Heartless to get through if they're brave enough~]

tsk

[cardiophilia.livejournal.com]

[ and the second wave commences, swarming him through the fire, twitching and whirring. on their own they aren't particularly strong, and they can feel that there is something dangerous about this one, so they don't attack just yet. instead, they gather around him, attempting to stall and to immobilize, as the numbers around him grow. ]

[tinyf1re]

[panics, the fire flaring up around him automatically and then guttering out just as quickly as he flattens himself against the doors, eyes going yellow as Hachibi takes control easily, to protect his host. the fire's suddenly there again, a lot hotter, and a lot stronger.]

[cardiophilia.livejournal.com]

[ the Heartless are burned away easily, but there are more. many more. and when suddenly the danger is there, they all start forward at once, hoping to confuse this thing so at least one will be able to get at the Heart. ]

[It's hard for Xehanort not to be curious. Hm. What's going on here, then? He pulls one door open, just a crack...]

[cardiophilia.livejournal.com]

[ the noises gets much louder with the door open, even just slightly. the Heartless haven't quite noticed yet, continuing to float around. ]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[What the heck? He peers in more closely, trying to make out the source of the noise.]

...what are you?

[Never seen anything bar Shadows, this kid, yet. Well, Shadows and an older counterpart.]

[cardiophilia.livejournal.com]

[ a voice! their attention is on him immediately. do you see the symbol, Xehanort? they start closer. ]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Even the symbol doesn't mean anything to him yet, past his older self wearing it... it's important, he thinks, at least. But why?

...He's got a bad feeling about it all, though. Not moving any closer...]

[cardiophilia.livejournal.com]

[ perhaps the way a wave of them suddenly starts towards him should be hint enough, swarming around him and aiming to attack. ]

[lower-case-x.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, that's enough of a clue. Oh, crap. Oh, crap. Bad news. Maybe he should just make a run for it again?]

[cardiophilia.livejournal.com]

[ fight or flight, either would be better than remaining there an open target. the swarm attacks. ]
