Beginning

"Attention all keyblade wielders!" said the loudspeaker, "Everyone go to the briefing room in 30 minutes for a very important announcement! You better be on time"

A girl woke up from her bed and yawned loudly. She looked at her clock. "6:00..." said the girl while rubbing her eyes, "What could be so important to wake up this early?"

The girl managed to get out up in bed and get ready for the day. She put on her uniform which was light armor with a shoulder pad. The color design was up the person who received the armor. This girl's uniform was white and blue.

She looked into the mirror to see if there was anything wrong with her looks. She had long white hair that grew to her shoulders and different colored eyes, red on her right eye and blue on her left eye.

"Alright Quas," the girl said to her herself with a smile, "Lets go see what was so important."

. . .

Quas squeezed through the students that were trying to find open seats. Even though she came early, the room was already filled with over half the students in the school.

"Quas!" She turned around to see a aurora-haired girl waving. The girl had saved a seat for her.

"Thanks Aurora,"

"Your welcome Quas," Aurora looked around the room, "I'm surprised that a lot students came this early."

"I know, I thought everybody was going to sleep in a little."

"Well it was Master Duncan's assistant who made the announcement and you know a lot of people are afraid of him."

Quas laughed a little, "I guess so."

Aurora yawned, "I wonder what was so important to wake up this early."

"My thoughts exactly."

After all the students had found their seats, Master Duncan and his assistant came. The assistant came up to the stand. He had brown and grey hair which made him look older than he already is.

He looked up at the clock. "6:23," said the assistant, "Not bad but I next time I expect everybody to be here 10 minutes before the scheduled time." The room was silent.

"As you all know, I hope, I am Claw, the master's assistant, and that we are almost at the end of the school year." The room was still silent.

"You have been taught and trained by the finest teachers and had taken the first part of the Mark of Mastery."

Quas nodded. The balls of light were little annoying to fight against but she managed to beat them.

"In the next couple of weeks, you shall take the second part of the exam where you will fight other students."

Quas nodded again. She was one of the most skilled keyblade wielders in the school but she kept on practicing to improve her skills. Never know when you find yourself with a more powerful opponent.

"However!" The shout alarmed most of the students. "This does not mean that you can fool around. Bring him!"

All the students turned around as the doors of the briefing room opened. There, they saw a young boy, about the age of 11, escorted into the room. He had black and white hair and was resisting to move into the room but the escorts made him walk.

Aurora's eyes went wide. "Blade?"

Quas looked at her friend. "You know him?"

"Yeah, we met about a month ago. He was a new student. Blade seems a little mean at first but he makes a nice friend. I wonder why he's being escorted."

Quas looked at Blade. She had saw him about a month ago also. He may be very young and full of himself sometimes but Quas knows that Blade was really a good person and had been catching up in his studies.

Blade was thrown down in front of Claw. Both looked each other in the eye.

"So," started Blade, "What am I here for?" Quas look at Blade in amazement, not many people talked to Claw like that.

Claw glared down at student. "You are here because you were caught making graffiti on the wall."

"That's stupid!" objected Blade, "I would never do that."

Claw chuckled. "Alex, please come up."

Quas saw a student come up and walked toward where Blade was. He was the about the same age as Blade but was definitely bigger.

"Describe what you saw Alex."

"Well," started Alex, "It all began…

"I don't want to know how it happened just tell me what you saw."

Alex winced. "Well me and my friends were walking when we saw this guy drawing things on the wall."

"Are you 100% sure it was him?"

"110%"

"That's not true!" yelled out Blade. "It was Alex that did it not me."

"Eyewitness shows that it was you that did it." Then Claw looked at the students. "Unless anyone wants to believe Blade and disagree with my conclusion."

The room was quiet. Some of the students wanted to believe Blade but their fear of Claw was much greater. Alex smiled. It was true. He was the one that did it and he was about to get someone else the blame. Alex knew that no one was brave enough to stand up to brave. All he had to was wait and…

"I believe in him!" A voice yelled. Everyone was surprised. Someone stood up to Claw? Quas looked and saw Aurora standing up, her face surprised also.

Claw looked at her coldly. "You believe in him?"

Aurora couldn't speak at first, she was too shocked that she stood up the Claw let alone yell at him like that.

"Well?"

"I…I do."

"Me too." Everyone looked to see a blue haired boy standing up. Claw was a little surprised.

"Me three."

"I believe in him too."

Soon enough there were 8 more people supporting Aurora.

Quas smiled. "Are these your friends?"

"Sure are, " said Aurora with a smile, "All of us are very good friends to Blade."

The room was filled was amazement. Is there friendship really that strong to ignore their fear of Claw?

"Well…," started Claw, "It seems we are at a predicament." He looked at Master Duncan who was marveling at the students. "What do we to them. They believe that the little brat here…" "I HEARD THAT." "Didn't do it."

Master Duncan signaled Claw to move out of the way and stood up to the stand. Duncan wore a uniform that was different from the student's. Its armor design was different and had a cape.

"I am moved by this act of friendship," Duncan started, "But it is only because of that friendship that you have the courage to stand up to my assistant. If you weren't friends with Blade, you wouldn't have stand up, would you?"

The friends look down and saw that he was right. If they did not knew Blade in the first place, they would not know if they would of stood up or not.

"Unless…" The group of friends looked up. "If there is a person who is not friends with Blade that would defend him, I might make his punishment slide."

The crowd of students looked at each other. Some of them were about to stand up but then Claw came back up to the stand.

"However, if we were to find out Blade did indeed do the crime, then I would gladly punish him and everybody who defended him."

Then the students who were about to stand up sat back down again. Blade's friends look for some sign of support but found none.

Duncan frowned, he had hoped that his students were brave enough but he guessed that he was wrong.

Claw chuckled. "Well, if no wants to stand up then Blade and his friends are…"

"Wait!"

Now everyone was really surprised, even Claw. They searched the room to find the brave soul and finally saw who had said it. Duncan sighed. So she said it he thought.

"Hmph," said Claw, "Quas Kaiser, you believe Blade is innocent of his crime?"

"Yes, I do."

Duncan looked into the determination in her eyes. "Fine, I relieve Blade of his punishment." Blade's friends cheered. "However, I want all of you to see me in my office right this minute." Guards, escort them."

As she was getting escorted Quas look back at Duncan and saw that he was looking her. She smiled and said something that made Duncan said "Your welcome." Aurora heard what she said but didn't believe it at first. Quas had said "Thank you Father."
