Alone in the Darkness

[seasaltkeys]

Who: Roxas, Emizel, and whoever dares enter Twilight Town
What: Experimenting with nightmares. For Science.
Where: Twilight Town
When: Sometime after the dreams start
Warnings: Copious amount of nightmares, Roxas's Hayner-worthy idea, and potential yelling.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

At least, that's Roxas's rational. Emizel had been worried that if they defeated all the nightmares, he'd be in trouble, so what better way to test if there was a connection than if they could get a lot of nightmares.

The plan was simple. Get treats, and then get the nightmares to follow them to a location, see if Emizel felt more energetic, and then fight off the nightmares before it got out of hand.

Roxas supposed he underestimated how many nightmares they could summon with a few treats, but they could manage, right? It's not like there were any big ones or anything.

They'd be fine.

Roxas blinked, perhaps a little more absently than intended as the words sailed over his head.

"Uh, yeah, let's go take them out," he replied, picking up his keyblades. Bouncer looked around, trying to pick up a scent, but he didn't have to look long. There were some already coming towards them.

Wanna wrap this up with a fade to black on fighting?

Jeeves tipped his bowler hat to Roxas in salute. "Good luck." He allowed the Spirits to go in first to halt one of the Tama Sheep that had appeared. Descartes darting around it proved an effective distraction. Enough of one, anyway, for Jeeves to stalk forward quietly and lay on a blow to it with the struggle bat. The creature bleated in surprise, which was immensely satisfying.

The valet had no great love of cruelty to animals, but the nightmares were hardly that, and ridding the world of such loathsome creatures was a good thing. He wasn't a particularly athletic man, but Jeeves was a large one, and it took only a few blows for the Nightmare to fall, turning into munny on the ground. How that even happened was still a mystery. At least no one else in the communicator archives seemed to have figured it out, either.

Sure.

Roxas would be no help in answering Jeeves's question, especially since enemies dropping munny and items was a norm for Roxas. They just did would be his answer.

He charged into the nightmares with reckless abandon, attacking and defending where he could and relying on his spirits to heal him and pick up the slack. A crowd of nightmares like this was nothing compared to some of the Heartless he's faced.
