Chapter 2: New Friends

As soon as I stepped out of the light I was met with what looked like...what was it called again?...A castle! Yes, a castle! It's been a while since I saw one. It looked quite grandly as well, with three spires and a bulky main building.

I only just noticed it was night, weird huh? Maybe my focus is just too strong or something. I walked up the steps (Almost falling down several times, there were no steps at the Keyblade Graveyard) and knocked on the door.

"...HELLO!?" Oops, I screamed too loud. "...Anybody home...?" Great, now I was whispering, I don't think I'd gotten the hang of volume yet, you think I would after several years.

I waited for a bit, but nobody answered. I sighed in defeat. 'Great, first place I come to, and I can't find anybody.' I started down the steps, as carefully as possible, and I still fell down. 'Damn steps!'

"Hey, are you okay?"

I looked up at the voice to see a guy a little shorter then me, with spiky blond hair, white and grey clothes, a similar wristband, and some kind of gauntlet on his left shoulder.

"Um, y-yes." I nodded as I stood up and brushed myself down, before getting back on the floor and bowing to him. "Thank you for worrying about me."

"Woah, it's okay, you don't have to bow." He chuckled as he held out a hand to me.

I looked at his hand like an idiot. What was he offering? Was I supposed to give him something? "Here, give me your hand." He helped me. I took his hand and he pulled me to my feet.

"Thanks." I started to bow again.

"H-Hey! Don't do it again." The guy said with a nervous smile.

"Oh, right, sorry." I was seriously screwing up here.

He just smiled. "Like I said, it's okay." He held a hand to his chest. "I'm Ventus, what's your name?"

"Err...name?" Crud, I hadn't thought of a name.

"Huh? You don't have a name?" Ventus said with a hint of...was that worry?

"Ven? Who's that?"

I looked past Ventus to see a young woman approach us. She had blue hair as well, though darker then mine, and clear blue eyes. She wore long white clothes as sleeves and around her waist and what lookede like a...suit of some kind? I couldn't tell. She also wore a gauntlet on her shoulder.

"Hey Aqua!" Ventus greeted her. "This is...er...well, he doesn't really have a name."

"No name?" Aqua repeated, before walking up to me with a smile. "It's very nice to meet you, I'm Aqua."

"H-Hello ma'am." I stuttered. I think something was wrong with me, my insides felt all messed up and I couldn't form any words. Plus my cheeks felt warm even though it wasn't hot.

FGor some reason though she just giggled. "So, you really don't have a name?"

"N-No ma'am." I shook my head.

"You don't have to call me 'ma'am'." She laughed. "So, you weren't named from birth?...Or...have you forgotten your name?"

"I-I-I-I-I..." I was messing up even worse then usual.

"He seems lost in my opinion."

Yet another guy turned up, this one was a young man. He was tall and slightly bulky with brown hair styled in...I don't know about hairstyles, but it was long at the back and short at the front. He wore very baggy trousers and a black shirt with a red cross over it, Aqua had one as well, except it was purple.

He had a slightly intimidating aura about him, and I felt myself take a step away. "You don't have to be scared, that's just Terra." Ventus told me

"Well, he can be a bit scary some times." Aqua...joked? I think?

"Oh, thanks." Terra chuckled, walking up to me, now I was scared. "You don't have anything to be afraid of. Do you know how you got here?"

I looked at Aqua and Ventus for support, and they just nodded. "A...door...of light opened in front of me. And I just walked through it." I told him honestly.

He smiled and nodded. "I see, how about we take you to see our Master. He will be able to help you."

I already felt more comfortable around Terra as I also smiled. "Sure!"

We walked up the steps (I ran and fell over) and carefully entered the castle , coming into what looked like a really long hall. "Wow! This is so cool!" I ran around admiring everything, being stuck in the Keyblade Graveyard for so long made anything colourful seem interesting.

"This way." Aqua guided me to a room as I heated up again, I should probably look at that. The door was open a crack and I looked at the three for reassurance.

"Don't worry, the Master is a very nice person." Ventus reassured me.

"You have nothing to fear." Terra agreed.

With boosted confidence I slowly walked in. I found myself in a study filled with books, in the centre was a desk and a chair. Sitting in the chair was a wise looking man with black hair pulled into a spiky ponytail with one strand down his face. He wore white robes and had a very serious nature about him, Terra's intimidation was nothing compared to this guy.

He looked up at me and I flinched. "You must be the one my students told me about." He said in a voice that was kind but serious. "Don't be afraid, come closer."

I tentatively stepped in front of the desk, the man finished writing before closing his book and giving me my full attention. "My name is Eraqus, and I simply want to ask you some qeustions, is that allright?"

"Y-Yes, of course."I said.

He smiled. "You say you have no name. Is there any particular reason for that? If it is personal, I understand if you won't answer."

I gulped nervously. "I...I was never given a name."

"I see...You came through a door of light, correct? Do you know where it came from?"

"N-No..."

"So, where did you come from?"

Now I was hesitant, just telling someone I was from...there?...Well, I guess I gotta be honest. "I came from the Keyblade Graveyard." Okay, NOW he was gonna think I was insa-

"I believe you."

"...P-Pardon?"

He just smiled as he stood up and held out his hand, and then a Keyblade materialized in his hand! "Y-Your a Keyblade Wielder! I thought they were all wiped out!" I shouted hysterically. "...Your Keyblade...it's very kind and honourable."

He nodded as he held out his other hand. "May I?"

I smiled. "Of course!" I transformed into my Keyblade form and let him wield me. He gave me a few experimental swings with a smile.

"Your an impressive Keyblade." He praised me as he threw me into the air, I transformed back into my human form.

"Im-Impressive? N-No sir, I'm average." I deeply blushed from the praise.

His Keyblade disappeared as he retook his seat. "In all my years I've never met a human Keyblade before. Please...tell me your story from the beginning."

So I did. My position in the Keyblade War, my rusting, gaining the hearts and becoming human, and finding the door. He listened deeply and intently until I finished. He then...looked back at the door? "Ventus, you may come in now."

As soon as he said that not only Ventus, but Aqua and Terra walked in. "Forgive us for eavesdropping, Master." They all apologized with a bow.

"It is alright." He waved it off. "How much did you overhear?"

"Umm...everything, Master." Ventus admitted.

"So your a human Keyblade, huh?" Aqua said. "Your pretty special."

"Hehe...th-thanks." I scratched my cheek nervously.

"Being a human Keyblade is something I've never heard of before, I'm glad I'm able to see someone like you." Terra smiled.

All this praise was too much, and I just smiled whilst heating up again, I need to figure out what that is.

"Hey, you can listen to Keyblades, right?" Ventus asked.

"Oh, y-yeah." I nodded.

Ventus then summoned a Keyblade as well. "How about mine?"

"Your a Keyblade Wielder as well!?" I gasped.

"Not just them." Aqua smiled as both she and Terra summoned Keyblades as well.

"Wow!...I-I never thought I'd see Keyblade Weilders ever again!" I admitted, close to tears. "I'd be happy to tewll you about them!" I listened to each Keyblade individually before nodding.

"Okay. Ventus, your Keyblade, Wayward Wind, has a great deal of trust in you, it's very kind and is happy to have you as its partner, and it's a real sweet talker as well."

"Really?" Ventus gained a large smile at that.

"Aqua, your Keyblade, Rainfall, is very serious and noble in what it does, but at the same time, it is kind to anyone it considers a friend, and...it really likes you as its wielder."

She smiled. "I'm glad it's happy."

"And Terra, your Keyblade, Earthshaker, is very determined and courageous in whatever it does, and trusts in its strength to not only to portect you, but those you care about.

"...Thanks." Terra nodded at his partner. I prefer to call ourselves partners instead of weapon, we have some dignity you know.

"You obviously have light in your heart, would you like to stay here for a while?" Eraqus asked.

I grew the biggest smile ever. "I would be honoured! Thank you so much Master Eraqus!" I got on my hands and knees to bow.

"Not this again." Ventus laughed. "But if your gonna stay here we really need to call you something."

"Good point." I nodded.

"Any ideas?" Terra asked.

I crossed my arms in deep thought until I finally thought of something. "I've got it!" I stood up and bowed to all of them. "Please, call me V from now on!"

"V?" Everyone echoed.

"Yes! I like the way that letter sounds." I tsaid.

Ventus Aqua and Terra looked at each other before laughing. "Hey! What's so funny?" I said, slightly offended.

"Nothing, V." Aqua laughed. "It's good to have you on the team."

"Yeah, we're all friends from now on." Ventus smiled.

"...Friends?" I repeated. I'd never had human friends before, just weilders. "...Yeah...yeah! Friends! Your my friends! Thank you Ventus! Thank you Aqua! Thank you Terra!"

"No problem! And call me Ven from now on, okay?" Ventu-Ven smiled.

"Okay...Ven!" I smiled.

I was truly happy, I had new friends surrounding me, and I didn't know what laid in store, but with my new friends, I was really excited.

Here's another chapter for you guys! I've decided on doing BBS, since I think the Unversed were awesome enemies, V, A and T were awesome characters, and they had a bunch of awesome worlds!

By the way, I update erratically, so I can't tell you when the next update will be, but I'll try my best!

Anyway, thank you for reading! Reviews are appreciated!
