Retrieval
The darkling hound had not yet heard from Rixa and it became apparent that something had happened to her.It had no idea what to do since it was alone, but it began to head in the direction of the town.Maybe it could launch an attack against his master's captors and manage to retrieve her before something even worse took place.It let out a loud howl and sped up, coming ever closer to the town...
Rixa opened her eyes and looked around her, feeling the back of her head.The new attacker completely caught her by surprise and she was angry at letting them catch her like that.And now, it was possible that her plan had been found out.She couldn't let herself be interrogated, not at this stage in time.She saw Sora and Leon staring right at her, Sora with a confused expression.He lifted himself up from the chair he was sitting on and walked to the bed Rixa was laying on.He gave her a slight smile, then looked sad.
"Alexa, you had me really worried there.What were you thinking?What if the Heartless had reached you?You could have been hurt!", he exclaimed, worried for her.
"Oh, shut up, you clueless clutz.I can take care of myself just fine.And you can tell your friend that next time I see him, I'll be the one hurting him.", Rixa answered in fury, almost ready to grab Sora and pummel him to the ground.
"That's enough.Alexa, Sora's right.It's too dangerous and you could have been hurt.Lucky for us that Cloud stopped you before you did anything reckless.", Leon interrupted, "But something about you...What are you up to, huh?There's something off about you and I want to know what."
"You won't get anything out of me.No matter what either of you do or try, I won't speak a single word.", Rixa yelled, her anger rising, "You don't know anything about me!"
One of the vases on the bookshelf next to the bed started to break, a few small cracks appearing out of nowhere.It creaked until it broke into smaller pieces scattered all over the floor.Rixa began to irradiate her dark energy and glared at Leon and Sora, willing to attack them if they dared to get anywhere near her.Sora summoned his keyblade and prepared to defend himself from Rixa.On the walls, cracks appeared and tentacles creeped out of the cracks, reaching for Sora and Leon.A howling noise came from somewhere far away and Aeris, Donald, Goofy, Yuffie and Cid came running in.
"The hell's going on here?!?I don't want any damage in here!", Cid yelled at Leon and Sora.
Leon pulled out his gunblade and pointed it straight at Rixa, who was snickering to herself.
"Do any of you really think you can handle me?I'd like to see you try...", she whispered.
They were about to fight her when something howled right outside the house.Yuffie ran out and saw the darkling hound standing in front of the house with it's fangs bared at her.Yuffie squealed and took out her shuriken to defend herself from it.The rest of the group ran out and joined Yuffie to help in taking out the hound.It howled again and Rixa heard it.She charged the group from behind and managed to scatter them away from each other.Once close to the hound, she jumped onto it's back and opened the portal.She gave one last glance before disappearing into the portal.Everyone looked perplexed, not understanding what had just happened.
"What in the world is that girl???"
