Sneak Attack, A.K.A How Did Things Go So Wrong[OPEN]

I WILL GRAB MY FREEDOM WITH MY OWN HANDS.

Neku could hear them. Their tiny, pointed toes scratching the ground and the dead and dried bushes rustled loudly as they moved. They were called heartless. He hadn't really bumped into them too much other than getting rid of some pesky, small groups bothering towns people here and there. Nightmares he was familiar with... not these strange looking black blobs with scary eyes and faces. When Neku had asked if there was anything interesting to do around town he hadn't quite expected this. 

It wasn't a giant group of heartless but just enough to worry about not having back up. Not that Neku wasn't already worried about not having a partner to watch his back. This fighting alone stuff was getting old. "Alright. On three. One, two..." He gripped Blizzard Cool before leaping out of his cover and dashing forward. Three spikes of ice rose from the ground, dissipating three of the heartless. Using Top Gear he teleported into the startled group and used Mitama to slash in a circle. Well that hadn't been so bad. It had taken out almost half the heartless. Grinning a bit to himself, Neku teleported to the outside of the group and used Blizzard Cool to take out a few more.

The grin wasn't long lived however when even more yellow eyes appeared in the darkness. Reinforcements? Or perhaps he'd missed them in the dim lighting of the world. Well okay then... as more and more eyes appeared Neku reconsidered his options. Falling back to regroup and funnel the heartless into a tighter ball is what he went with. Demon's Hatred might be able to take out a huge hunk. It packed a wallop and was a strain to use so he tried not to, too often.

Neku didn't even get the choice as he stumbled over a rock or a root he couldn't see and was sent toppling into something sticky. "Eww what is this?" Molasses? Tar? He didn't have a clue but he couldn't pull himself free. Not only that but he was in plain sight of the heartless. Is this what his life was now? Just one giant clusterfuck bent on trying to kill him at every opportunity? Using Jack's Knight he was able to pick up a few rocks and flick them hard enough to pick off the closer one's. 

One thing was for sure though, with one arm stuck along with his legs, Neku was going to need some help and fast.
