"Oh, hi IV, Superior..." she flashed a weak grin before bolting in the opposite direction.
Sora grabbed her arm as she past, but Max still ran and pulled desperately, to no avail.
Nexan marched over and pressed two fingers right between Max's neck and shoulder. With a brief eep, Max collapsed to he ground, nursing her pressure point.
Brax snorted with amusement. With a nod from Nexan, he hauled Max to her feet. But before he could drag her into the portal, Sora stopped him.
"Hold on now. What makes you think you can just drag her back?"
Nexan rolled her eyes and tisked briefly. She didn't have time for this! "She one of our members."
"She's my sister!"
"She should be back recovering her strength and your taking her out where she can be killed!?"
"She should be preparing herself for the destruction of Kingdom Hearts! Like I was helping her to!!!"
Nexan's scythe clashed with Sora's Kingdom Key, fight blazing in both their eyes.
As Braxyd had watched the exchange, he hadn't noticed that Max had slipped from his grasp. He only noticed it when she knocked Sora's feet out from under him with a sweep of her Keyblade and met Nexan's overhead swing without missing a beat.
"Enough!" She grunted, strained by the effort of holding Nexan's scythe back. "Sora, I'm going with them!"
Sora blinked at her, equal to an apology to Max.
"And Nexan," She glared at her Superior, then hastily changed her look to apologetic. "You don't need to carry me off. I'll come peacefully."
Nexan let he scythe disappear, and Max did the same with her Keyblade. Max continued to look sorry, but Nexan kept her gaze stern.
"Come on then."
Nexan stepped into the portal. Max looked back to Sora, who was just getting to his feet.
"Come on Max!" Braxyd called.
"Coming..."
Braxyd disappeared into the portal, and, with a heavy sigh, Max did too.
She didn't expect to arrive in utter chaos.
