Yharrx grinned as blood splattered her face before flying off to join the pool of blood on the ground from which nightmarish monsters arose.  It seemed as though there would be demons aplenty for each and every idiot who had thought to go up against her.

Briefly, Yharrx looked around for her partner and protection, the demon she chose to call Almaaz.  It did not take the woman long to find the giant two headed dog melting part of the army with one head and devouring anything—or anyone, as the case might be—in her way with the other.  A fond smile lit Yharrx's features; sometimes Almaaz was as good as having a child.

Then her gaze swept around to survey the rest of the battlefield.  Demons, mostly Almaaz's size or smaller, were everywhere; wreaking havoc on the armies that had been sent by the king.  Despite their size, though, the demons had cut a swath through the army and showed no sign of stopping anytime soon.

Her green eyes lit with mad amusement, wind ruffling her already messy, blood-soaked hair.  The smell of blood and brimstone was everywhere; a pretty picture for Yharrx—who decided that her demons could take care of the rest.  Almaaz would let her know if there were keybladers for her to take care of.

Yet before she could find somewhere to sit and watch the carnage, Yharrx felt a presence behind her—an attack from someone lucky enough to get past the demons.  She dodged, just in time to see a keyblade swing through where her stomach had been.

Yharrx reacted without even seeing anything, one of her athames flying to where the keyblader must be—according to the arc and thrust of the keyblade.  Before it reached, though, her vision cleared and Yharrx stumbled back, the athame dropping to the floor.

It had been a child who had attacked her, a child that she had almost killed.  White hair, brown skin, green eyes.  She recognized him as a child that Harry had given candy too on occasions—like he'd done all of the children of Hallow Bastion that could muster up the courage to talk to the strange but kind man.  She could not remember his name—if Harry had even known it—or anything else about him.

Like that he had a twin sister.

Pain ripped through her body as she was hit with a keyblade from behind by a purple-haired young girl who otherwise looked exactly like the male child keyblader.  Yharrx fell to her knees, gritting her teeth against the overwhelming pain, refusing to just lie down and die.

"You killed him, the nice man who gave us candy, and then you killed our parents when they went to go help him," said the boy accusingly.  His sister just sniffled and nodded—it seemed like she wasn't used to killing Nobodies.  It was hard for the younger ones to differentiate between Nobodies and those with hearts, because on the outside there was no difference.

Rage loosened Yharrx's tongue—which had been held by the pain of the keyblade strike.  "I didn't kill Harry.  I was him, and then my heart was eaten.  I'm glad it's gone.  Oh, but I suppose they didn't tell you when they gave you those pretty keys that you'd be killing people with lives of their own, did they?  That's what keybladers are.  Killers who pretend they're heroes."

The girl's green eyes welled up with tears; Yharrx's words had hit home with her at least.  Then her brother snorted.  "Asha, remember what Lynx told us.  He said that this one would try and manipulate us because she can't kill us.  It's probably the last part of Harry trying to protect us!  He's telling us to avenge everybody's deaths!"

Yharrx closed her eyes.  She'd known this day would come, even with Almaaz by her side.  Still, she wondered how that bastard keyblader had known of her weakness.  If only she had enough time to get a message to Nexious…but there wasn't.

Athames flew through the air as Asha and Iman watched and positioned themselves on Yharrx at her wrists, neck, and heart cavity.  She opened her eyes again.

"Tell that bastard Lynx that he'll have to go through an army of demons to get to Madame Superior.  And then, if he survives that, there is not a single member who doesn't want to bring her his head on a fucking silver platter," Yharrx announced, her psychotic smile back.  "I'm just unhappy that it won't be me."

Briefly, Yharrx had an image of the first thing she'd seen after climbing out of the darkness.  In the midst of blood and shadow, there'd been the baby.  Half Heartless, half human, kept alive until after it ate its parent's heart and called all the Heartless in the area by Harry's magic, it just laid there.  And a single tear dripped from Yharrx's eyes.

The athames struck, opening vein and arteries so her blood would open the gates to Hell.  All the big things that the little gates couldn't let through; they were coming.  It would be hell on earth.  And the demons Yharrx had already let out would follow Almaaz to the castle; an army of nightmares and things that go bump in the night.

The last thing Yharrx saw were the children running away, a serpentine demon that almost touched the clouds writhing after them, and Almaaz, in her little dog form, trotting up howling.

"Good dog," she whispered, and then faded away into the Nothing.
This is Yharrx's final ability, and also her death, and when two new keybladers are introduced. Asha and Iman are twins, kids, and I'll post more about them later.
