Shaderic flicked off the safety, took careful aim and...

Hold your breath, and squeeze slowly...BAM!

It almost jumped out his hands, but he held on tight. The Heartless, however, exploded into cloud of purple smoke, that swirled away in a breeze that wasn't there.

"Got one!" Despite how scared he was, how lost he was, and how much he would get into trouble if he didn't get back in time... He found himself grinning. He sighted another Heartless, a Soldier this time, and fired again. With another crack, he realized that the bullet had struck the arm, instead of chest. He was just about to try again, when a Neo-shadow jumped at his face.

Panicking, he brought his arms up to protect his face. And almost cut his head on the blade part of his gun. Eye's wide, he swung it away from his face, cutting the Heartless in two. The cold wisps brushed his face before disappearing. Shaderic shivered. It had felt like he'd brushed with ice water.

Still, he couldn't afford to blank out now. He swung the blade at another nearby Heartless.

"I think I'm getting the hang of this!"

They were moving pretty quick, so Shaderic almost missed him.

A tall guy, wearing a black coat and traffic cone orange hat that looked like it should have been on Link's head. He was standing there, leaning against the wall casually. Any other day, Shaderic would have passed him by.

But relaxing in the middle of a Heartless invasion? No one who had any idea what they were would do that.

Shaderic stopped, and turned to face him.

"Who are you?" The man inhaled deeply, and then sighed.

"You know, I wasn't planning on getting involved today." Shaderic blinked. What was he talking about? "I was just going to gather some intel, but now that you've seen me, I guess that's it."

"What's 'it'? What are you talking about, and who are you?" Shaderic brought his gunblade up, but he didn't aim it at the man.

"Ah, well. You're going to die today anyway. I suppose it'd be common courtesy to at least tell you the name of the guy who decided your fate." Shaderic fired. If the other guy says he's going to kill you, you shoot. That's what he was taught.

Then his arms started shaking. A black blade had shot out of the ground in front of him. Embedded in it, he could see the bullet. He couldn't see the man's face around the pillar, but he had a feeling that the guy was smiling.

"Too bad I don't do that sort of thing." With a snap of his fingers, tall Heartless began pouring in.vEverything Shaderic had fought before had only gone up to his chest at the tallest. These things were just as tall as him.

"Bu-bye, now." And the strange man sunk through a shadow in the floor. Leaving them alone with the Heartless.

"Any bright ideas?" Shaderic asked, blade trembling before him.

"What the hell--" The guy was gone without another word, and they were surrounded by the odd Heartless. She'd never seen any quite like this before, but they were still Heartless, which meant they had the same weakness. "Hit 'em with Light," Ray growled, and her Light spell flared up from the ground, lancing out at the creatures before them.

"I don't think even Calum caught bullets with Darkness," she said, more to herself than anything. "Great. Like we really needed another thorn in our sides..."

She shook her head and threw some lightning into the mix. "Once we get past these guys, we're going to Rainbow's End. It should be safe there; Mabry did her best to make it that way. And even if it isn't, there might be more stuff we can use to heal up." She stood back for a moment to catch her breath. "If Mabry got here somehow, she'd be heading there, too. It'll make things easier if we can meet up with her."

"Like I said, I'll follow you!" He ducked another swing, lined up another shot, and pulled the trigger.

He was rewarded with a loud bang, and the satisfying disappearance of another one of the Heartless.

"One question, though!" He shouted between between blows. "What the hell's Rainbow's end?!"
