Hm. Mmmm. What the hell happened? How am I alive?
Craig uncovered himself and saw an empty room. A quick glance was all that was needed for Craig to realize that he was severely injured in his battle against a heartless. He must have been in a coma. but for how long?
There was a tag on his left wrist. A few names were scribbled on it. His old Union Leader Becky. A few teammates. "Where are they" Craig wondered.
Craig threw on his old clothes which could barely fit on. He then began wondering home.
Not a single soul was in sight. Doors were shut, lights were dim, at least the sun was bright. "Where did everybody go" thought Craig.
Craig finally reached his home. He attempted to open the door, but it was locked. "Nothing his keyblade couldnt handle". But when Craig attempted to summon his keyblade, nothing came.
Craig continued to try to summon his keyblade until a machete was summon instead. Shocked by his loss of the keyblade, Craig had become lost in spectations.
Craig journeyed through the lands searching everywhere for a single heart. He soon found a giant feild. One known well before. It was where many wars had been fought against the heartless. This time, it is filled with the keyblades of many fallen warriors.
Standing in shock, Craig realized that there was a war of not keyblade weilders against heartless, but rather against each other.
Staring in shock of bodies laid across the field. With the smell of blood staining the air like bleach. A familiar sound popped out behind Craig.
A neo shadow had jumped at the back of Craig's head. Craig quickly ducked down and past the neo shadow, summoned his machete and sliced the neo shows torso into two.
Feet were wide. Knees were bent. Arms were up and Craig was leaning forward in his combat stance. The neo shadows were coming in and Craig was ready.
Two of the neo shadows jumped towards Craig and began spinning. Craig jumped to the side of one and quickly impaled it in mid air. As soon as the second one landed, Craig sliced its back. A third neo shadow ran towards Craig to which he threw his machete at. Whew flew the machete, but it missed the heartless. Craig scuffled with the neo shadow breifly before tossing it and kicking another neo shadow. He then ran to grab his machete and beheaded one heartless that was still down. The other had dissapeared.
Craig looked at the ground searching for the lurking heartless. Craig continued to look until the heartless swiftly leaped out of the standing keyblades to attack Craig from behind. Craig quickly tossed his machete to his left hand, faced his rear, and impaled the heartless through its face.
Craig looked around for anymore heartless. To his luck, he found not a heartless, but a man standing in a distance. "Hey" yelled Craig as he ran towards the strange man. The man summoned a keyblade and held it against Craig. Craig stopped and held his distance. "what happened" demanded Craig. The man noted that Craig did not have a keyblade and is thus of no use. The man then warns Craig to leave and never return. Craig began to argue stating that he is a member of Organization Heart.
Two other men appeared reinforcing the threat. They each had keyblades. Craig was outnumbered abd knew something was wrong. He then ran away.
Not far away at the graveyard
Rustling through the dirt and coughing her lungs of despair, a young girl with grey haired girl with purple eyes awoke. Blood was dried on her face and there was a dead body on her. She pushed the body off and stood up. There she saw a sea of dead bodies and blades shaped into the form of keys sticking out of the ground. "Where am I" She asked herself.
The girl wondered through the dead bodies until she came to clear land. With no memories, she wondered away into the mountains.
In need of rest, the girl sat down on a rock. "Okay Punifu, we need to get it together. Where can I find people". As she looked over, Punifu realized that there was a man walking not to far away. Punifu was struggling on the decision to approach him. She needed help, but would the best help be from a random guy in the mountains? Punifu did not have much to lose at this point.
Punifu was walking towards Craig when he had suddenly realize her as well. The two came close to which Craig then said "Hellooooo" in a sarcastic tone. "Are you going to threaten me too" he asked. "I am looking for help" Punifu stated sternly. "Well the good news is that you found it. The bad news is that I also need help" replied Craig.
Craig continued "You see..." but then a swarm of emblem heartless erupted. They sprang out attacking the two. Craig summoned his machete immidiately while a scythe appeared in Punifu's hands. Craig created a gust of wind to catch the lighter heartless, making it easier for him to jump to and cut them up. Punifu went straight for the big bodies. She leaped and side stepped to drill her blade into the big body's back. another one began sliding on its stomach towards her to which she flipped above and drove her scythe through.
Punifu and Craig were nearly done taking out the heartless when a giant werewolf emblem heartless came crashing down on the two. Craig covered Punifu a sheilded them the two of them with a reflect spell.
The werewolf was searching for the two in the dirt, but could not find them. As the werewolf was looking around, it was impaled in its paw by Punifu. Craig had then sent a gust of dirt up the werewolfs nose giving Punifu time to escape.
"Quick, what magic do you know" asked Craig. "Uuugh" replied Punifu. "You dont know magic" yelled Craig "What else has changed"?
The werewolf kept running in circles with its injured paw. It soon rushed towards Craig and Punifu. Craig used his aero magic again to summon a gust to hide themselves from the werewolf. But the werewolf did not stop. Craig had then appeared above the dust and attempted a frontal attack on the werewolf. But as soon as the werewolf was going to tear Craig apart, Punifu impaled a hind leg with her scythe. Craig quickly cloaked his machete in lighting and threw it at the werewolf. The machete impaled the werewolf and paralyzed it.
With the were werewolf down momentarily, Punifu ran up to the beasts next where Craig launched her into the air to decapitate the werewolf.
The werewolf had died and faded to darkness. Craig and Punifu had then introduce themselves. Craig attempted to shake Punifu's hand, but she kept distant. "We will travel together until we are safe" said Craig to which Punifu agreed.
The two wandered around in silence. Both Craig and Punifu were untrusting of the other and were looking for clues to each other. Punifu noticed the medical tag on Craigs left arm. Craig noticed a badge on a ribbon on Punifu's waist.
As the pair were walking, a keyblade was thrown in front of them. Neither Craig or Punifu were shocked, yet they were alarmed to their new aquaintance. They looked up to see a dark haired woman waving at them. "Who is she" they wondered. "Who are you and what do you want" asked Craig.
The girl came down joyously, yet carefully down the mountain. "My name is Mavis" she said as she reached the bottom of the mountain. Mavis shook Craig's hand firmly and waived to Punifu before she summoned her keyblade back. "I saw you get up back there and followed you to make sure you were safe to be around" said Mavis towards Punifu.
"So why not help her from the beginning" asked Craig "or at least when we were attacked". "I had to make sure you two were safe to be around" Mavis replied. Craig and Punifu did not understand the reason to this. Mavis took note that there is something wrong with the two of them and thus insisted they leave before further discussing their current situation.
Craig agreed and shamefully admitted that he no longer has the power to go between worlds as before. This was not a problem for Mavis. Mavis had opened a portal for the three. While Punifu and Craig were not so trusting, they both took a leap of faith and followed Mavis into the portal.
