"**The Heartless do not belong here... Not in my castle!"**

The roar only grew louder as a literal Beast was combating the Heartless in the ballroom. One hardy slash took down a Neoshadow that dared tried him. He was panting hard from having to fight hoards of Heartless alone. 

"**I won't stop... Until I find Belle...**" 

He took another step and stumbled, growling at his own weakness but kept going, he had an obligation to protect this world from this threat, no matter the cost.

*Xion deactivates her armor and makes her way to him* "I came to help. I assume you're the owner of this castle? You have a beautiful home. Let's make sure it stays beautiful. And I'm assuming you're looking for your... I'm gonna use the word woman? I'll help you as long as I can." *She tells him, switching her Keyblade to her left hand as she holds her hand out for a simple handshake despite the chaos*
Samuel
The Beast looked back at Xion and growled, realizing that she wasn't a Heartless but also someone he didn't know in his castle, though the Heartless took priority in being driven away. 

"**Hmm... I am. Most simply call me a Beast.**"

He would say and shakily shake the smaller girls' hand. 

"**I am in search for Belle and my subjects. I will make them safe at all costs.**"
Tonia
*While the 2 were talking, Belle's scream rang through the castle.* "Beast, help!!!!" *It seemed like it was coming from outside, now more of the castle and world being eaten away and consumed by the darkness. This world didn't have much time left.*
Victor
"And that's our cue. I don't know the layout of your home so I'll trust you to take the lead." *Xion tells him, mostly not wanting to intrude upon his home more than she already has*
Samuel
"**Belle! It sounds like she's outside...**"

The Beast yelled and he immediately looked towards its direction. He wasted no time and charged there on all fours, taking Xion along with him towards the source: even breaking through walls if he had to in order to get there just a second faster.
