SnowdropsThe citizens of Traverse Town scrambled through the plaza, as the heartless pursued, in numbers that were impressive, but still not quite what they had seen on Destiny Island. As the citizens rushed through the walkway up to the First District gate, heartless mobbed towards them, intent on… eating them? Stealing their souls? Abducting them? Whatever it was, it definitely wasn’t good. Levi saw one citizen, an older man towards the back, stumble and fall as a trio of shadows approached him. Then, for the second time today, Levi looked at this plaza and chose to ignore the ramp down in favor of being faster… and admittedly more dramatic.
“Hey!” The shadows glanced up, and something galvanized their attention away from the citizen and towards Levi, who stood on top of the railing of the upper walkway. “Looking for this?” Levi asked, holding True Light’s Flight out in the open, which attracted attention from a good number of heartless. “Then here. Catch!” He yelled, before throwing his keyblade. He called that trick his Strike Raid, as it spun through the air and cleaved a shadow in twain. What Levi expected to happen was the keyblade bouncing off the street, or perhaps embed itself in it, but instead the keyblade came straight back to Levi. He held his hand out on reflex, and caught the spinning blade perfectly by the handle. Okay, that was awesome, and if anyone asks, I meant to do that. But how…? He looked over when he heard a sound, and leapt down into the plaza in time to avoid a ball of fire thrown by one a red variant of those cone-shaped heartless. He glanced at it briefly. Scarlet Tango.
“That’s right, eyes on me.” He muttered, before charging into the heartless. His bat was used more as a defensive implement, leading forward and deflecting away the lunges and claws of shadows and soldiers. His keyblade meanwhile, darted out after every blocked attack, cutting through the weaker heartless like… honestly, a knife through cold butter. He was definitely doing more to the heartless than they were to him, though.
The only interruption to his cycle of defense and counter-offensive came when the Scarlet Tangos, of which he saw three, threw a volley of fireballs at him. Levi managed to barely evade them without getting worse than a slightly singed shirt and a couple minor burns, but in the process he dodged right into another heartless’ attack. He initially thought he’d been hit by a car or something as he was flung back, stabbing his keyblade into the ground to slow himself down, and landing on a knee. Though that definitely hurt, with how far he moved… he noticed it didn’t hurt nearly as much as it should have.
Left looked up from the impact, and as he was expecting after that hit, he saw the responsible heartless was a Large Body, that was pushing itself back to it’s feet as a prelude to jonting over for another attack.
Levi glanced over to see the citizens hadn’t lingered, and most of them had retreated into the first district, with only a few stragglers yet to enter. He then refocused his attention to the Heartless as they approached, in numbers he found admittedly a bit… much. Still, every second he held this plaza would be another second for the others to find their way through safely. He took a moment to down a potion, before cracking his neck and turning his attention towards the mob of heartless.
“Alright then. Let’s go.”
