*Some time passed as the Storm Riders progressed through the underground waterway. Icidro's memory served him correctly and was able to lead the group through the castle's depths with relative ease. Even able to complete the aggravatingly simple puzzles by memory alone, having run into them in the past.*

*Though, at some point, a glint would catch Icidro's eye as he led the group through the underground. It was a heartless; a single Darkball patrolled the waterway. The heartless floated above the water and seemed to just be drifting through the air. Only one being present seemed to give the inclination that it was just a regular place for it to be, and not some sort of ambush, although the cautious of the riders couldn't be sure. The heartless hadn't noticed the Storm Riders' approach— yet.*

*The sight of the Heartless made Brad twitch. He stopped a bit short, as he felt something in his chest rattle. He took a moment, pulling in a deep breath, as his eyes focused on the floating ball. Even with his senses dulled, the stench of darkness was impossible to ignore.*

"Enemy spotted." *Brad tried not to grin too big. He kept his voice to a low whisper as he inched towards his allies.* "What's the plan?"

"Get around if we can, remove it quietly if we can't."

Furo did his best to quietly convey his thoughts. While moving quickly was preferred, they could not waste the opportunity given to them by team one. Taking things slow and getting things down seemed like the smarter play to the mechanic until they were in the castle proper.

"I'll silence it and try to contain it if we all move in." Since Furo was closer to the back of the group, he was really just following the lead of Icidro. He could only play off the team in such an enclosed space.

Sapphire kept her gaze on the heartless as she moved in with the group. Her anxiety is starting to rise more than when she first landed. "I'm not sure if all 4 of us could move quickly enough to avoid it." 

She began thinking about what they could do but ultimately just wait for what Icidro decides on.
