I followed Akane and all I could think about was what she would look like in skinny jeans and a cute T-shirt. I sighed wondering why boss pyro guy wanted us in such lame outfits......Suddenly Akane stopped and I nearly bumped right into her.
"Whoa there, nobodies! I can't let you pass through here." The tall heartless said as he swayed.
I wanted to tell him that it wasn't nice to stop cute ladies....and myself....but Deidrex stepped in.
"C'mon heartless, we need to talk to Jack for a minute." Deidrex demanded.
"FYI, Organization XIII, the name's Floyde. Not only am I the toughest Wight Knight in Halloween Town, but I'm the best Gambler in town!" Floyde boasted. I smiled and wondered what he was going to do.....
"For YOUR information, we are not Organization XIII. That group perished ten years ago. If what you say is true, let's play poker!" Akane answered.
Ooooh spicy girl.......yummy.... I though to myself.
"I'm listening..." Floyde said, commanding the lesser heartless to get a table. I watched and wondered if they were really going to play or not. I wantede to just chop of the guy's head and move on. But Akane seemed interested and willing, and I was not about to stop a cute little lady beat a guy in poker. I folded my arms and waited.
"If you win, we leave this world. But if I win, you become my heartless for eternity. You in?" Akane asked.
The heartless looked up at me, and I glared down at him. My scythe was starting to form at my fingertips. If he so much as touched this pretty lady I was going to make chop-suie out of him.
"Deal!" Akane answered.
She was brave. I would give her that.
"Okay you win. I'll be your heartless for now on. Come this way!" Floyde escorted us to the lab. Jack greeted Akane with open arms.
"Akane, it's so good to see you. Who are they?" Jack pointed to Deidrex and me. I smiled and put my hands behind my head.
"Those two are Deidrex and Tamex. We are here to discuss the balance of this world and Christmas Town." Akane said. Akane said something else quietly to Jack but I figured a lady's privacy was her business and unless she was willing to share, I wouldn't push the matter.
"Deidrex and Tamex, you can talk to Jack about what's going on. I need to do something first. Come Floyde!" Akane said happily. I nodded and walked over to Jack.
"Hello Tamex at your service," I said smiling. "We have a few problems to talk about. I hope that is ok."
So we discussed what was happening to Halloween Town and how if we were going to take care of everything we needed to destroy the heartless. Suddenly I felt an explosion of power run though me. I looked around wondering if anyone else felt it. Jack continued talking and lady Deidrex continued talking.....but it worried me.
"I'm going to find out where Lady Akane has gone off to," I said calmly. I could already begin to feel my eyes changing from anger at whatever was going on. I would drown and kill whoever was hurting Lady Akane.......
