Chapter Two: Alone
Ray's flat was a mess, clothes were chucked around the room and papers lay all over the place. The curtains were shut trying to block out the day light but to no avail as a small beam of light cut through a small gap in them. Ray was trying to get to sleep after his long party that lasted longer than he had expected. Around the time he met up with his friends it was about 5 in afternoon but he came home about twelve hours later. He was trying to get back to sleep when the doorbell rang. He chucked on some clothes and walked to the door. Standing at the door was a beautiful young woman, she had silky blonde hair and her eyes were like looking into pools of perfect still blue water, she was wearing light blue jeans and a long white top.
Finally Ray came too after staring for longer than was normal.
"Becca, what are you up so early for".
"Come on Ray its 2 in the afternoon, you should really get up".
"Yea but…oh I give in there's no point fighting with you".
"Yep and remember it, so do you fancy on coming for a walk".
"Um, yea sure give me a few minutes to get ready".
Ray turned around and walked back into his bedroom and Becca stood in the hallway. After about five minutes Ray came back out dressed properly and ready to go. Becca looked down at the mess all around.
"Why don't you clean up in here now and again". Becca started to laugh looking at the piles of clothes scattered around the room.
"Oh come on Becca, you try living by yourself, its not that easy. Anyway where do you want to go?"
"Where ever really but you know later…"
"Yea"
"Do you want to go up to see you grandpa again, I love his stories".
"Yea of course he loves you being there, and I was going to go up later as well so it's all good".
"Great, shall we".
"Yea lets go".
After about two hours Ray and Becca started to make their way up the mountain path, again it was quiet apart from the few kids running around pretending to be exploring now and again but it was quiet. Finally Ray and Becca reached the top and walked towards Ray's grandpa's house.
They both knocked on the door and Ray's grandpa came to the door.
"Oh what a pleasant surprise, I knew you were coming up here Ray but you didn't tell me you were bring company. Its great to see you again Becca".
Becca smiled and replied.
"Sorry if I am intruding, I just thought I would tag along".
Ray's Grandpa smiled back and looked towards Ray.
"No of course your not intruding and its better this way that Ray has someone here when I tell him everything".
Ray looked up immediately.
"Like what". As Ray and Becca said at the exactly same time".
Ray's grandpa looked behind him and then back to Ray and Becca.
"How about you both come and sit down and I will explain everything".
Ray and Becca sat down on the sofa opposite the armchair where Ray's Grandpa usually sat. Before he sat down though he went to the cupboard and opened using a small key hidden under his watchstrap. He took the journal and went to sit down.
Ray's grandpa begin to speak about all the journeys the key blade wielders Sora, Kairi and Riku had and then the journey that came to a tragic end of Ven, Terra and Aqua. He then began to talk about the evil man known as Xehanort and how he ruined the lives of these six key wielders and dragged in the king of Disney Castle, Mickey. But Ray had heard all this before and wanted his grandpa to get to something new.
"Come on Gramps how many times have we heard this"?
"If you bear with me Ray I will explain. You see at the end of this journey the seven key blade wielders defeated Xehanort and he faded into oblivion. But the key wielders were lost in a world where they could not escape. To free them from that place Kairi a princess of a pure heart with no darkness residing within found a way to escape. She used the full power of light in her heart to open a path, just as the world they stood in disappeared into nothingness".
Becca was lost already "Um so how could that world disappear as we are here now".
Ray answered this one "Becca have you ever wondered why no one ever leaves moves to far away from the mountain".
Becca looked at Ray like he was speaking a different language. "Well no I never really thought about leaving, no one does".
Ray's grandpa answered this time "You see my dear the reason no one goes any further is because they cannot, the world ends at the border of the city and the other face of the mountain".
Ray's grandpa reached inside the journal and pulled out a map of many weird and wonderful worlds sitting in the space of the darkness. He showed it to the two of them and pointed at a small world with just a mountain and a small city. "You see that there is our home and this here is as far as I traveled when I was younger". He pointed at a world; it looked like a barren wasteland.
"They called it the key blade graveyard. I traveled there and looked at the portal, which lead to the realm where Xehanort met his end, I saw it collapse and saw the key wielders teleport out of there. Only one member of the group that went into that world returned. He was just a cricket, but he was so important he recorded every journey they had together into a journal, this journal I hold now is the very same one".
Ray just stared at the journal like he was about to be told something he didn't want to hear and Becca just nodded now that she finally understood but she still had one question.
"Um ok but how does this involve Ray then".
Ray's grandpa just stared at the floor. "You see Ray I tell you this now because at my old age I cannot go and find the key wielders. They are lost somewhere unable to return home and the cricket that I met and was good friends with for the rest of my travels was killed about a year ago, almost like who ever did so is making sure no one know what happened to the key wielders".
Ray stood up. "Sure I'll help".
Becca stood up next to him. "What, if your going I'm coming too I'm not losing you to something I don't even know about".
Ray looked straight at her. "Becca I trained for years I can wield a sword better than someone twice my age and I can do things other people would call magic but I cant promise it would be safe so I cant let you come".
"Then I wont let you go, I wont lose you. I lov…"
Rays grandpa stood up just at that moment and looked out the window seeing it was starting to get dark. "Ray and Becca why don't you head home we will finish tomorrow. The mountain path is too dangerous at night".
Ray nodded "Ok gramps I will see you tomorrow and gramps before I go can you tell me about the key blade again I want to know so maybe I can get my own when I leave".
Ray's grandpa smiled "The key blade is a powerful weapon. It will choose its wielder if they are what they want not the other way round. The key acts like any key and will open and lock and the blade acts as a powerful weapon and can even produce travel between the worlds and protection from the forces that seek to destroy them. The key is so powerful only seven living people, we hope remain to wield them". Ray stood up and walked to the wall. He put his hands against it and they glowed until a key blade appeared against the wall.
Ray turned to face his grandpa "You said seven so why have you got one".
His grandpa laughed. "I never could never used it but it stayed with me since I found it and now I think its ready to choose".
Ray stuck out his hand and could feel something happening but then it suddenly stopped and he turned around.
"Looks like it's not me".
Becca walked over to Ray and took his hand.
"Ray it doesn't matter and no matter where you go Im going to stay with you".
Ray smiled.
"Ok, come on lets go home. See you tomorrow morning gramps and then you will tell me everything else right".
"Yea I will, now go and get some sleep".
As Ray and Becca walked out Ray's grandpa remained standing until he could see a shadow coming round the corner.
A man dressed in a white coat, (just like the Organization's but completely white) stepped into the room. He spoke in a voice that almost welcomed you but Ray's grandpa knew not to trust it.
The next morning came quicker than expected and Ray was running down the road with a bag and it was only just sunrise. He ran up to Becca's house without noticing she was sitting on the wall waiting for him.
She walked forward "You ready to go". She was also holding a bag.
Ray looked at it and then remembered that she was coming too.
Ray nodded "Yea lets go".
After walking for about half an hour up the mountain Ray felt like something was wrong he looked up to his grandpa's house only to have his vision blocked by the trees. By the time they made it to the top. Ray finally realized what was bugging him. His grandpa's house looked like someone had tried to demolish it. The front had completely fallen down and there were holes in the roof.
Ray screamed as he ran towards the house "No".
Becca followed close behind completely silent.
Ray climbed over the ruble reaching the living room seeing his grandpa covered in debris. He ran over and pulled off the rocks and wood. But he was too late. In his grandpa's hand was the journal in the other there was a large sword that he crafted on his travels. Ray picked it up staring at it and attached it to his back.
"Who did this?"
Ray's eyes began to glow red as he looked up at the sky through the holes in the roof then he picked up the journal seeing a small piece of paper tucked inside that was not there before.
Ray read it aloud. "Ray my boy you must go to the temple. In there will be your only means of transportation and don't worry about the key blade, it will follow you if it is yours to have. But please find the key wielders. You will need them if you are too complete the task that is too follow".
Ray looked at Becca. "Becca this is too dangerous, my grandpa was right who ever did this is clearing up so no one knows anything about them and if you come with me then you might get hurt".
Becca just stared at him "No way your not leaving without me, remember im going to be with you forever".
Ray's eyes finally returned to normal and he just looked at the door. "Ok, come on we gotta go to the temple".
They walked up to the temple and looked inside. Ray could see well in the dark and could see well anyway but Becca couldn't see at all so Ray took her hand and led her in. They reached and old room with nothing more than a few fallen rocks and what looked like a keyhole carved into the far side.
Ray walked up to it and held out his hand but had the same result as before he came close then nothing. Then Becca walked forward and held his hand again. He tried once more and this time he could feel it finally he summoned the key.
It was beautiful, its handle and hand guard were bright white with some sort of diamond gems on its rounded guard.
The blade was made out of a silver metal that twisted round what looked like a small tube of stardust. The stardust also created the key part of the blade. The chain was yellow with once again stardust flowing as the key chain at the end.
Ray pointed it towards the keyhole and then there was a bright light and the wall flew open revealing what looked like some sort of space ship. Then Ray remembered, "Its called a Gummi ship".
He ran towards it but then he heard Becca scream. He turned around to see a man in a white coat. He spoke to Ray but almost like he was speaking to the world itself. "You shall not leave or I will have to do to you what I did to you grandfather".
Ray tried to summon the key again but he could not. He pulled the blade of his back he had taken of his grandpa and charged at him. Ray stopped immediately as the mysterious man used Becca as his own shield. "Not so fast he said, I give you one last chance. Leave and forget or lose everything you hold dear".
Ray stopped in his tracks but then he remembered Sora and all of his friends and looked a Becca and whispered "Im so sorry". Ray charged at the man once again and with all his might flipped over him and slashed him in the back forcing the man to cripple over dropping Becca.
Ray ran to Becca's side and stood in front of her but it was no use as Ray fell to the floor in a bright light. When it cleared Becca and the mysterious man were gone and Ray's eyes once again glowed Red in his immense anger. He was truly alone.
