DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE KINGDOM HEARTS FRANCHISE (welp)


Callyn was never fond of heights.

But

Falling into giant black holes was a whole other thing. Wyatt just went straight down to her 'Strangle-Once-You-See-Them' list so hopefully their next meeting would be much more pleasant than this one-or else, Callyn would throttle that little boy—or whatever you call him on first sight, 'Strangle-Once-You-See-Them' list be damned.

Unbeknownst to her, for all the thoughts she piled up on concocting her plans on the possible future she may or may not have as a serial killer or just specifically a Wyatt killer, she failed to notice the situation surrounding her as slowly by slowly her whole world would be shifted surpassing any natural law she may have (not) listened to in class.

And this was only the first stage.

"What the-? Ouch!" Callyn yelped when a burning sensation crept up to her right arm. She glanced down to check on her arm (even if it was pitch-black) and to her absolute horror, her whole arm was slowly disintegrating into small pixels.

A loud gasp left Callyn's lips as she desperately clawed on to her arm only to discover that her left arm was completely immobile since it, too, was slowly turning into tiny little digital squares. It wasn't as painful as she thought it would be but her whole body was turning numb and she couldn't help but wonder if this is how everything would end for her.

'Just a minor side-effect.' Wyatt's voice echoed throughout Callyn's panicked mind.

The strong urge to strangle the boy suddenly emerged from the deepest part of her heart when she heard this. Anger pulsed through her veins. "A side-effect?!" Callyn screamed out, her voice suddenly like as if she was drowning in water. Callyn suddenly felt fear replace her anger—she never liked the idea of drowning, who would?

'It's almost done, stop squirming. You have to submit or else it'll be more painful than it's supposed to be. The barrier between your world and Kingdom Hearts knows you don't belong there so it's trying its best in repelling you—to keep the balance.'

Callyn paled even more, if that was even possible, when she heard Wyatt's statement.

'Now before you land into one of the worlds, I have to warn you. This realm or dimension is more than different with where you were conceived, do not worry when sudden headaches or migraines come to you—it's just them interfering with us.'

"T-them... who's them?" Callyn squeaked, trying to ignore the itching in her throat when she spoke.

'We call them the Guardians; they're the ones that watches over the realms, thus the name guardians. You could say it's the persona of a world.' Wyatt informed with a tinge of distaste in his childish voice.

Unable to do anything but nod, Callyn wasn't able to reply anymore since a red burst of pain seemed to take over her whole being. She wanted to scream or yell but something kept her mouth closed, it was almost suffocating.

Wyatt must have sense her intense discomfort and managed to lessen the pain by reaching out a part of his magic. 'Just another minute, Callyn. You can do it.'

As much as she wanted to believe Wyatt's words, the pain seemed to worsen with each passing second. Callyn was starting to doubt everything, why was she even doing this? Staying in that lonely platform (which she just recently remembered was her heart) was better. And who was Pallas to Callyn that she would actually sacrifice her life protecting something she doesn't know just to save some woman?

'Callyn.' Wyatt's solemn voice immediately washed all her doubts as quickly as they came. 'They're planting doubts into your mind and heart; this is exactly how the darkness trapped Pallas. Remember that I need your consent to finish this.'

She didn't want to lengthen her suffering but whoever was dropping those doubt bombs into her mind clearly know what they were doing. Callyn felt herself slowly slipping.

'Stop.'

A womanly voice commanded, overpowering the whispers in her head.

Finally as if a fog just cleared out, Callyn gasped like she just managed to break free from drowning. All thoughts of giving up left her—even stronger than how Wyatt did. If she could let out a sigh of relief, she would have now. Something about those whispers scared her, they were too convincing.

'Consent, Callyn! Your consent!' Wyatt growled; his voice turning into a guttural one very unlike the childish voice she preferred on him.

With all her might, Callyn squeezed her eyes shut and wished to be whisked off to Kingdom Heart.

And just like that, she felt herself black out.


Under a starry night, two soon-to-be keyblade masters sparred relentlessly. One of them, the female, has shockingly blue hair with matching azure eyes. She was adorned with clothes and small bits of silver armour but the giant key-like weapon she held in her hand was more attention-seeking. It radiated a calm-like aura, like the waves of an ocean or the soothing lulls of a mother.

Across the blue-haired woman was a striking youth. With a face hardened with concentration, the man sent another attack to his companion with his key-like weapon. Unlike the woman's ocean-blue eyes, he had steel blue ones. His brown hair was spiky and unruly but in a charming way. He wore strange clothes that bore similarity with a samurai's usual clothing.

"Already tired, Terra?" The female taunted with an amused smile on her lips.

Terra's eyebrows rose. "In your dreams, Aqua." He shot back before moving in to deliver another strike.

Aqua managed to deflect it with her weapon but she stumbled a bit at its force. Terra must have seen this and used it to his advantage, sending a barrage of attacks to his friend.

"Rgh!" Aqua grunted and moved away, successfully dodging another swipe from the brown-haired youth.

Knowing that Aqua was already at her edge, Terra lifted his key-sword to deliver a final blow but stopped in midair when a bright light caught his attention. His jaws slackened when he narrowed his eyes to see a shooting star heading straight towards them.

Towards them?

"Duck!" Terra shouted as he tackled his blue-haired friend to the ground exactly a second before the 'star' wheezed past over them. It landed a few feet away, forming a small steaming dent on the ground.

Aqua winced at the pain on her lower backside and the weight Terra was adding on her body. She gently pushed the man off her to stand up on her feet again. "What was that?" She asked softly, her eyebrows furrowing together.

Terra obviously didn't know the answer but he replied with a blatant shrug.

"Terra! Aqua!" A man looking in his mid 40's rushed outside and in his hands was another key-like weapon but this one radiated power and solidity. "Are you two alright?" He asked quickly when he reached to his students' sides.

Both of them absently nodded.

"Return back to the castle. I will check it myself." The man ordered; his voice firm.

Terra looked hesitant. "But master Eraqus-!"

With a nudge and a pointed glare from Aqua and his master respectively, Terra grudgingly followed the blue-haired woman to the entrance of the castle. He took one last glance to his teacher's retreating back before rushing to catch up with Aqua.

Convinced that his students were safe, Eraqus averted his attention to the steaming crate in front of him. He took a deep breath to steady himself. 'Just a few weeks before Xehanort's arrival and this happen—Merlin's beard please give me strength for this.'

Eraqus headed forward, his keyblade in his hand ready and poised.


TADA! I know it's not as long as the first one but I promise it'll be longer on the next chappie! So, to those who noticed- Ventus hasn't arrived yet with Xehanort. I did this because I thought it'll be a nice excuse for Callyn to get to know Terra and Aqua before Ventus shows up.

Like I said before, I am not going to rush things since I think it'll be better to give a slightly deeper meaning to the quartet's future friendship. :D so umm yeah! Sorry again for my grammar but I try my best! lol :3
