Mai continued to hold her ground, but with the sheer number of Heartless that were attacking her, she was being pushed back. [i][color=bc8dbf]"There is no end to them,"[/color][/i] as she cuts down another wave that was swarming her. She was given a bit of breathing room when a Corridor opened in front of her and took care of the Heartless that were on the opposite side of it. Quickly, she attended to the ones that were behind her and cleared them when they tried to jump on her with one hard swing of her Keyblade. After a moment, the rain seemed to stop. [color=bc8dbf][i]"Did Ryteb do something about it?"[/i][/color] As the rain cleared out, her vision and hearing had begun to improve, however little they could given her situation. Mai was panting hard. Sweat and blood trickling down her face and body. [color=bc8dbf][i]"How many has it been? A hundred, I think?"[/i][/color] She was struggling to keep herself standing and hold her Keyblade. Her injuries and fatigue was getting to her. [color=bc8dbf][i]"What is it with me today? I usually don't get tired this easily even with the injuries."[/i][/color] The girl remembers hitting the bed early last night, and eating a good breakfast before they were summoned for this mission. Is something else draining her energy? [color=bc8dbf][i]"Where's Taka and Ryteb at?"[/i][/color] She was hoping her companions were alright. Ever since the Heartless began swarming her, she wasn't able to keep track of where they were. As she was catching her breath, she heard a number of weapons being loaded and cocked to her front and sides. [color=bc8dbf][i]"When did they-...?"[/i][/color] Her head turned towards the group of soldiers had been able to line themselves up a ways from her and eyed them. [color=bc8dbf][i]"Crap, I let my guard down."[/i][/color] Their weapons were drawn and pointing towards her. She knew she was screwed if she tried to move. Their bullets would fly at her faster than she could anticipate them firing their weapons. [color=bc8dbf][i]"How am I gonna get out of this?"[/i][/color]
