Note: This will be written in the format as if it was actually in the game. I will only be doing the cutscenes and will not describe any gameplay elements, other than notify when the cutscene ends or a boss fight ensues which will be identified with this *. I will post this at the beginning of each chapter to remind you.

"When I really need you Ven I know you'll be there".

It was one of the last things Terra said to Ven before he left him at Radiant Garden. Now he was out doing what Master Xeonhart had told him.

"See more worlds; seek out the darkness that upsets the balance". That's exactly what Terra was doing and he found a world alright. He saw dense green jungle's below that engulfed most of the planet. On one side of the world was a small village of huts, right on the edge of the jungle but in the middle of the jungle stood a large bronze tower. Terra took his master's advice and landed on this world.

Groovy Jungle

Terra stood up tall and observed his surroundings. He landed in the middle of the tower, but it was more than just that, it was a whole castle of ruins. Vines and green surrounded the castle. He stood in the courtyard before a throne which was currently empty; in fact no one seemed to be here at all. Then he heard a noise behind him.

"huh?" he questioned as he turned around. He saw unversed in the form of birds and monkeys flee the courtyard and into the jungle. "Unversed!" he exclaimed and then followed them out of the ruins.

*Run around jungle fighting unversed*

Terra walks into another part of the jungle without his keyblade drawn. He hears shrieks and looks to see a small baby elephant being chased by the unversed. Terra runs to the little elephant's side.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of them" he said.

*fights off unversed*

Terra puts his keyblade away and looks towards the little elephant

"Hey you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Thank you for saving me"

"Yeah no-" a loud trumpet could be heard and a larger elephant with a twig in his trunk came up to them.

"Jr! If I told you once I told you a thousand times stay away from those creatures!" he scolded. Then he looked over at Terra "Ah what!? A mancub in my jungle! Sabatoge! Treason!" he trumpeted

"But pop he saved me from those creatures" Jr said to this father.

"Well..um" he cleared his throat" Thank you, Colonel Hathi at your service" he said introducing himself.

"I'm Terra and the unversed, those black monsters as you call them, when did they come here"

"Well they only appeared a short while ago" Hathi told him "Nasty little buggers the whole lot"

"I see" Terra pondered "was there a boy with them at all?"

'Not that I know of" Hathi paused "But there was another mancub heading for the great tree in the heart of the jungle. I'd say the deeper you go into the jungle the better chance you'll have of finding your culprit"

"Alright I'm off" Terra said as Jr waved him goodbye with his trunk.

*walks around the jungle more*

Terra stands in front of a wide and tall tree. He looks up to see in between the branches but the leaves are in the way. He looks over to see something hanging out of the branches. It is long and brown with darker spots along it. He goes up to it and tugs on it three times hearing a bell chime each time. A sudden shriek is heard and Terra looks up to the tree. He does not notice the snake's head behind him.

"Say now what have we here?" he said hissing and making his presence known. "A mancub, another mancub" he said gums smacking together.

"Another mancub, is his name…" Terra paused "Vanitas"

"Oh no no that name doesn't ring any bells" Kaa said circling him "Let me look at you" he said getting in front of his face.

"Who is the other mancub?"

"Mancub? Oh the girl" he said looking up.

"Aqua?" Terra muttered.

"Friend of yours?"

"Yeah she's a friend, but….."Terra trailed off

"Oh it seems you've hit a rut" Kaa said sympathizing with him "But maybe there's something I can do to help. I have my own subtle little ways"

"I don't know if I can trust anyone" . Kaa wrapped his body like a hat around Terra'a head.

"I don't blame you, but you can trust in me". Kaa put his head in front of Terra's and began hypnotizing him. Terra's eyes formed colorful circle's as he looked into Kaa's eyes.

"Don't look into his eyes" a woman's voice called out but it wasn't Aqua's. Terra snapped out of it and pushed Kaa back.

*Boss fight with Kaa*

Kaa unravels around the tree and ends up on the ground.

"Oh my sinuses. This is going to slow down my slithering" he said limping off with a knot in his tail.

Terra stood around looking for the voice that called him.

"Up here" he heard. He looked up to see a woman standing on one of the branches, and then she jumped down and landed in front of him.

"I got hand it to you for taking him down. You're lucky I was there to warn about his eyes, but then again if you didn't come along we'd both be snake food, so I guess were both lucky. I'm Oerba Yun Fang"

"I'm Terra. I haven't seen many other people here, why are you here"

Fang seemed quiet for a moment. "I'm trying to help somebody important to me. I heard an answer might lie in this jungle somewhere" she told "What about you what brings you here?"

"I've been sent by my master to defeat the unversed"

"Unversed?"

"The little black monsters"

"Oh those things, so I guess there not native to the jungle like I thought"

"I've only just arrived here do you have any idea where they come from, or have you seen a boy named Vanitas"

"Nah sorry but.." she trailed off catching his attention. "There is a place on the very edge of the jungle. It's very dark and empty; a wasteland. I'd say that's your best bet"

Terra nodded "Alright, thank you Fang and good luck"

"Yeah you too Terra". With that said Terra took off.

*roams jungle*

Terra walks into the dead lands. The skies are dark and it's grey all over. He hears numerous shrieks and looks over. He sees an unversed taking the form of a tree and four vultures flying away from it. Terra runs up to fight the unversed

*boss battle with unversed*

Terra defeats the unversed and it disappears in its own darkness.

"Oh thanks for the save there fella" Buzzie said from above. Terra looked above him as the vultures circled him from the sky and then landed before him.

"Yeah much obliged" Flaps said

"You really saved us" Ziggy said

"Yeah" Dizzy agreed.

"Yeah sure" Terra agreed.

"Hey what's got you so down?" Buzzie asked waddling up to him

"It's nothing just… my friends"

"Friends well everybody's got to have friends"

"I don't think they trust me"

"Your trust can be tested as friends and I'll bet they'll be by your side in the end" Flapps said and the others agreed with him.

"You think so" Terra asked

"You bet" Buzzie said stepping up "but we know how you feel, in fact were gonna make you an honorary vulture"

"You'd do that for me?"

"Of course cause that's what friends are for!"

This brought a smile to Terra's face. "Alright" he said "I accept"

The vultures cheered in excitement "Alright then, what's your name new friend?"

"Terra"

"Buzzie"

"Flaps"

"Dizzy"

"Ziggy"

"Welcome to the group Terra and you other friends can join if they want too"

"Alright fine" Terra said and he closed his eyes to ponder something "But.." the vultures looked to him in anticipation "I have to leave now"

"Leave but you've just arrived" Ziggy said

'You'll come back right Terra" Flapps asked

"Yeah I will"

"It won't be the same without you" Ziggy said

Buzzie walked up close to Terra "Trusts in your friends Terra, they'll be by your side wherever you are, and so will we". Terra smiled and thanked them and began to walk off. Buzzie turned to Flapps. "Alright so what we gonna do?" he bounced loosing feathers as he did.

"I don't- hey don't start that again!" Flapps complained

*Formed D link with the vultures*
