Chapter one: The new threat

Disclaimer, I only own Nightshade, and the plot.

As a member of GMAD, the Guardian of Band life, Keyblade wielder, and swordswoman- yes I do have a backup weapon just in case I can't summon my keyblade in time for an emergency. My life has been hectic ever since I left my peaceful village; The Sisters of Peace, a girls only village. I have become more closely bonded with Nightshade, my dragon, and now we were almost inseparable.

I'm good friends with this girl named Rebel- the daugher of Sora and Kairi. I've had many strange adventures- I've met my opposite, fought a screaming death- without help, need I add, and many other countless adventures. Yeah my life was strange and challenging, but I accepted it.

I was fiddling with this Red Ribbon that was about oh 11 inches long and about one and a half inches thick, more or less, however, it wasn't just any old Red Ribbon, it's a secret only Keyblade wielders know about, and some assumed it's only legend, and as much as I wish it was merely folklore, it's not, it's as real as your pinky finger.
Said Red Ribbon has caused so chaos, confusion, and hate in the Keyblade's history. I bet your wondering how such a simple red ribbon can do all that, well, as I had said earlier, it's not at all normal. It has immeasurable power of Light, Darkness, and can bring back any heartless Keyblade wielders have killed, or destroyed in the past, from simple shadow heartless, to boss heartless, such as Guard Armor and Darkrai.

Not watching where I was going, I accidently ran into a wall, and fell flat on my back. 'Nice going Laural.' I thought. I pushed myself up, and dusted off my black 'Pirate Pride Marching Band.' T-shirt, out of sheer habit, and readjusted my heart- key shaped necklace with the heart divided into thirds. I glared at the wall I had fallen backwards on, not like it was going to help any… I sighed and moved on.

I wandered up to my room, which was your standard GMAD member room. 'I can't let Maleficent get ahold of this ribbon, she's already got the seven princesses of light, and Sora, Donald and Goofy captive, I can't let her get any further.' I thought. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw a dark portal forming, and Riku emerging from it. I knew Riku was no longer working with Maleficent, as seeing he betrayed her when she took Sora captive.

I sighed. "Hello, Riku." I said.

"You still have that ribbon I gave you do you?" He asked. I nodded.

"I've never let it out of my sight." I replied, Riku sighed in relief.

"We can't let Maleficent get ahold of it."
"I completely agree, Riku." I said. "Just…. I'm worried about Rebel and when she finds out her dad… never mind, I won't let her find out."
"Good, she doesn't need to know."
I nodded in agreement. "I was going to grab my sword-" I said but was cut off by Riku.

"Why do you even carry a sword when you can wield a Keyblade?" He asked. "Its dumb if you ask me."

I sighed, and rubbed my temples. "Because, what if I need a weapon to defend myself and I can't summon Twilight on time?" I pointed out. "I'm either dead, or forced to retreat."
"Then retreat." Riku said.

"Not as a GMAD member, I can't."
There was a knock on my door. "Laural, you in there." A voice asked.

"Yes, why do you ask Zilla?"
"It's Maleficent, she's threatening to kill Sora if some Ribbon isn't handed over and well, you can guess Rebel didn't take to well to that…"
I groaned, and pinched the bridge of my nose in annoyance. "That witch just needs to give up…" I muttered. "What else did she say?"
"She said you would know what she was talking about." Zilla said, as he walked into my room. Noticing Riku, Zilla was instantly on guard.

"I'm not working for Maleficent, if that's what your worried about." Riku said.
