"Then that would mean we have to defeat every darkness that wanted to rule only one world. It's like a not simple game of chess." Aria sighed, taking out her gummi phone while looking up some pictures. (Sora might post too much fan pictures as always.) Miku and Aika looked at Aria with a creepy and eye-glowing look. Aria could feel them watching her while she was using her gummi phone. 'God... This is creepy...' So she thought while trying to ignore the stares from both of them.
Aika averted her gaze as she sat down. At this point, she didn't even want to ask about anything anymore. Miku on the other hand only stared at Aika, while sitting on the opposite side of her. Obviously, the two didn't want to talk with the other. A few moments of awkward, yet peaceful silence passed between the group, making everyone more relaxed than before.
But of course, the peacefulness wouldn't last long.
"Rrr..."
Almost immediately, everyone stood up with their weapons in hand. "Oh gods, is that...Risen?!" Aika muttered. Miku sighed with irritation. "Apparently," she scoffed. "And I blame this one on you." Akia scoffed. "EXCUSE ME!? DO YOU THINK I'M THE ONE WHO DID THIS?!?!" Aika screamed at Miku while pointing where the Risen was. "YOU JUST WATCHED ME LIKE AN IDIOT LITTLE TACTICIAN AND---"
"ENOUGH!!!!" Both Aria and Kiran screamed, making Yuna hold Aika away as Sienna hold Miku back as well. "THERE'S NO TIME TO ARGUE!!!! YOU TWO ARE ACTING LIKE LITTLE CHILDREN THAT KEEPS ANNOYING IT'S PARENTS!!!!!" Kiran shrieks in anger as if the little pink flower was controlling her to kill them both.
"It's not my fault that she's irritating..." Miku muttered, making sure that no one was within her hearing range. Sienna rolled her eyes at the two, feeling the urge to scream at them both as Kiran did. But she was honestly shocked at her... Lecture. Kiran was a calm person, and she was the last person that she'd expect to hear yelling from. "Like Heartless, Risen can be tough to defeat too," Eliza started. "Except for the fact that Heartless can only be defeated with Keyblades." Sienna nodded with agreement. "Since these things are only getting stronger, we all should approach them with caution."
"Yep! And just to make everyone extra safe, we should stick close together!" Aika said. "Duh," Miku replied, facepalming at her tactics. "But how...? We all have partners besides one person..." Aria frowns, seeing that the numbers were not even. "Wait, what?" Sienna looked among the group, and counted the pairs again. "Aria and Yuna, Eliza and Miku, me and Aika..." The blonde head paused right as she stopped at Kiran.
Kiran looked at Sienna before looking back at the group of pairs. "I'll be fine. I fought without a partner too many times before." Everyone in the was both shocked and concern for Kiran's safety. "Are you sure...?" Yuna frowns with concern, "I know you've done this before but... This world is full of surprises of creatures we may or not may face before..." Kiran smiled at Yuna with reassurance. "I'll be fine, Yuna. Plus, it's not like the flower will let me die that easily from Grima's stupid monsters."
"Wait... You mean that flower can bring you back to life?!" Aika said in shocked, feeling nervous to be partners with Kiran in training in the near future. Kiran sighs, feeling annoyed that they were not focusing on the Risen. "Something like that," Kiran scoffed, "But right now it's not the best time to talk about it. We have a RISEN PROBLEM NOW."
"E-eh?!" Aika looked around and saw a whole group of Risen encircling the seven of them. "Y-yeah, we should probably do that," She muttered, aiming her dagger at the nearest Risen; Sienna did the same, and aimed her Blade of Naga at the same monster. "At the count of three, we attack," She ordered. "Okay?" Aika only rolled her eyes as if she were trying to tell her, 'I don't follow orders from anyone.' "Fine. But I'll be the one who counts!" She replied. "One... two... thre--"
