{RIKU POV}
Hiro's entrance wasn't exactly what Riku wanted to be adding to his problems at the moment, but it at least reminded him that they weren't currently fighting to win. Him and Shizu were fighting to run away, and that was precisely what the soldier's appearance put into perspective.
"What the- What is the Champion of Shiva doing here?!" Stephen exclaimed in shock.
"He's on a warpath," Riku blandly replied. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be taking my leave now."
Taking advantage of yet another set of distractions, Riku deftly slinked away from the confused Stephen. He then made his way near the center of the room closer to Shizu, only to see that his companion just had the same idea that he did.
"Let's move," he told her.
"Right behind you, Riku."
