Snippet #1774236

Dante was in the bazaar buying food for him and the two others that accompanied him to this desert world. He brought three small watermelons and paid for them, while he was leaving the bazaar a group of Heartless wearing turbans and duel wielding scimitars appeared causing everyone in the market square to scatter. Calmly, Dante summoned his Keyblade and blocked just in time as one of the Heartless he named Bandits jumped and flipped through the air spinning like a saw with both of his blades in front of him. Dante swiftly countered the attack with a barrage of thundara spells which stunned it just long enough for him to smash the Keyblade into its face, the Heartless vanished and a glowing heart floats into the air before vanishing. "One down.... about five to go." He says with a smirk on his face. Two of the Bandits charged at him flailing their swords around like maniacs causing Dante to back flip into the air and land on top of a vendors stall. "Their attacks are so easy to dodge." While Dante was distracted with the two Heartless the other three went behind the stall out of Dante's field of vision and they all jumped at him at once. "oh cra-" one of the Heartless slammed into him, pushing him off of the stall and onto the ground with a thud. The Heartless is about to wail on Dante but he aimed a hand at the Heartless and fired a blizzard spell at it knocking it off of him. Dante stood up and plunged his Keyblade into the chest of the Heartless, releasing another heart. Dante threw his Keyblade at the group of heartless, slaying the rest of them and releasing their hearts. "I wonder... were those hearts go?" He muses to himself as he picks up the Watermelons, one was smashed because of the rumble. "I guess i'm going without dinner again." He says to no one. The people begin to return to the bazaar those who remained to watch the brawl clapped for him and thanked him for fighting the monsters.

Dante walked back to the streets where he and his comrades were posted and was greeted with a gruesome sight, both of them lay dead in the sand with massive wholes in their chest. "Oh god no..." Dante drops the melons as he runs over to them "This is the work of no heartless i have ever seen... This world was supposed to mildly calm with only low level heartless." A tear rolls down his cheek, he didn't know these two well but to see your brother in arms laying in the sand dead would make even the most war hardened man choke on his tears. "Who could have done this? Why would they have done this?" He moves his hand to the cheek of the female wielder and uses two fingers to close her eyes and does the same with the male wielder. "I would have loved getting to you know both of you, and i wont let this death be wasted. He doesn't want them rot in the harsh desert sun so he taps both of them with his Keyblade, causing them to be enveloped in light and their hearts to float out of their chest and into the sky. Dante stands up and see's a set of foot prints leading away from the scene and decides to follow them, hoping they would lead him to the monster that did this.
