Chapter 2

I remember waking up on the gummi ship again. I was facing Twilight Town once again. Master Sora was nowhere in sight. I can hear movement over the PA system on the gummi ship. It looks like Alvin knows I am awake.

"Dimitri! It is good to see you awake and well! Master Sora had to leave to attend an emergency meeting in the kingdom with the keyblade warriors. He left a note for you to open and read on the cabinet beside you. He told me to tell you to read it at once, as it was of highest importance!" Alvin squeaked. I can't describe how much I want to stop and slow him down, and tell him not to squeak when he talks, but it still isn't an appropriate time to.

"Thank you Alvin. May I ask what happened, and how I ended up he-"

"Why, of course Mr. Dimitri! After the Alpha Dark announced their identity, Keyblade Master Sora emergency teleported you to your gummi ship, and him to his. He remotely controlled your ship to the passage way, where you would be safe. Dimitri…you're up against something here that has more power than anything. I wouldn't suggest you interfering in this ye-"

"Alvin, I know my duties. I'm not going to do anything to interfere. But, why did Sora emergency teleport me?"

"Simple. Immediately after they announced themselves, the members of Alpha Dark all at once raised their hands, and said something. It sounded like a curse. It didn't look like Sora was going to take any chances, because as soon as they said it, he teleported you."

"What was the curse?" I asked. This does concern me. I guess I don't know what I'm up against.

"It was a foreign language. I have no idea what it was." Alvin squeaked.

"How long ago was it since he teleported me?" I asked. Classically, with the emergency teleport, it will automatically put you into a deep coma for long periods of time at once. It's not really dangerous; it's just long.

"Three days ago. Mr. Dimitri, there was a problem with this emergency travel." Alvin said. Problems? What? The emergency teleport has never had problems before now?

"Immediately, as soon as you returned to the gummi ship, I scanned your body for damage from anything Alpha Dark did, and it appears they drained power from your body. Not a little either; it was enough to kill you if you weren't ready. Energy draining had begun as soon as all members appeared at once. But then, it amplified when the curse was said."

"Are there treatments? What is going to happen?"

"The only treatment is resting. You will be fine in a few hours." Alvin told me.

I open the note to see what Master Sora had wanted me to know. It's hard to tell at this point.

Dimitri,, I apologize for the sudden emergency teleport. It was the only safe approach to save you from the draining that Alpha Dark was doing to you. I have faith that when you are well enough to read this, the effects from the energy draining Alpha Dark did will be past. I had to leave to attend an emergency meeting in the kingdom for keyblade masters only. Since I am currently busy, it is my request, as well as King Mickey's, to have you have an emergency meeting with the other students to brief them about the current situation. It is required for you to do this as soon as possible. Please follow all directions to a normal emergency meeting. I will return to your gummi ship in approximately four hours. Please have the meeting adjourned by this time.

-Keyblade Master Sora

This isn't good. What am I supposed to brief them about? I have no idea what to do in this meeting, but I will follow the directions of Master Sora.

"Alvin, set up an emergency meeting between the other students and I to be commenced in thirty seconds. Set the priority to attend this meeting at mandatory by order of Master Sora and King Mickey." I order.

"Right away Dimitri!" Alvin speeds through, squeaking along the way. A large screen began to lower in front of me, blocking my view of the windshield. I reached over and grabbed the projector remote. I turn the projector on, and it flashed at first. The projector on this ship hasn't been used since the time Keyblade Master Sora used it, which has been a decade at least. Four rectangles fill the screen, taking equal amounts each. In the rectangles are four faces, of different shapes. One has the nose of Pinokeo. The others have darker skin, as average tan almost. Their ears are small in size. And their eyes are of different colors. One has pure white eyes; the others are different shades of green.

"Dimitri, what is the order of this? Only Master Sora may call emergency meetings." The first one said.

"Fai-Lynn, calm yourself. Master Sora has an emergency meeting to attend himself. He left me in-"

"What do you mean he left you in charge? Why did he pick y-"

"Fai Lynn! Now is not the time to bicker at me! Rai, take attendance and read the minutes to the last meeting!" I interrupt. I am not going to deal with her irritation today. It will not happen. We have regular meetings with Master Sora in periods of three months each. The last one was one and a half ago. The normal meeting is just to discuss what to expect in "training" if you can call it that.

"Oh so now you're giving commands? You aren't even running the meeting rig-"

"Fine! I call this meeting to order! Rai take attendance and read the minutes of the last meeting." I command

"Wrong! It's secret-"

"FAI. –LYNN! Enough with it! That is your final warning!" I scream. Fai Lynn is always dramish, and divaish, and it annoys the hell out of me. I'm done dealing with it.

"Watchya gonna do; disconnect me? I'd be happy to leave…" Fai Lynn said.

"You know what? You're so full of it, disconnect yourself then! I dare you to face the punishment of Master Sora and King Mickey by disconnecting!" I tease and dare. I know Fai-Lynn. She won't do it; she's too chicken to.

"Fine…I'll stop…"

"Good. Rai; please." I continue. Rai is the second rectangle. She is the most noticeable out of the group. Her hair, is long and dirty brown in deadlocks. She has a light tan with a white scar in the shape of lightning below her eye. Her look is deceiving; she looks like a fighter at first sight, but she's actually my best friend. She is always there for me, and I'd sacrifice myself to save her.

"Meeting of July 8th, emergency meeting of the five students of Keyblade Master Sora. When I call your name, please say present." Rai said. Her voice is lower, but average still.

"Fai-Lynn Rotchwire."

"Present."

"Rai Mainez is present." Rai said to herself.

"Dimitri Stratford."

"Present." I say with a sigh. I don't like hearing my last name. I find it to formal, and stupid. I hate it but I keep the name because I don't have much of a choice.

"Sierus LeBonyez." Rai continued. Sierus, better known as Siri, is my best guy friend. We met in Radiant Gardens when the students were first meeting each other in Sora's first training. I was the first one he came up to, and we were best friends afterwards. I was a loner back at the time we became friends, so I took it slow at course of course. But, once I got to know him, he became like a brother to me. Just like Rai, I'd sacrifice myself to save him. He was tall like Sora, but had a heavier build to him, more muscular than anyone else. He had short, dirty blonde hair, mixed with a strawberry color. His hair color and style are rare anymore due to the cost to maintain it professionally, although Siri doesn't care to take care of it. His eyes have a dark, scary color of green tint to them. That's normal for him.

"Present…" He said in his low, normal voice. His voice trailed off…something is bothering him.

"Are you okay Siri?" I ask.

"Yeah. I'm just tired. That's all. Continue with the meeting." He answered. Why is he making excuses and avoiding the topic? That's not like him.

"Margaret McLenSienvin." Rai continued. Margaret isn't someone I enjoy being a student with. She refuses to be a part of the class usually, unless it means failure as said by Master Sora. Her nose is longer than Pinokeo, and it grows continuously. But, it doesn't shrink. Her skin is pale as sand, and as grainy as it so too. Her voice is shaky, and she is bald. I wish to avoid her at all possibilities. It's not really her, as much as how she acts. I don't like her to be honest.

"Present."

"All members are in attendance. Does anyone move to approve it?" Rai asked. It's required that we document acceptances and seconding by Sora. Why? I don't know.

"I move to approve it." Siri said.

"And I move to second it." I said. I'm in a rush, so I may not complete all steps. Siri smiled slightly when I seconded it, it is also rare for him to do that; something we have in common.

"Very Well. The minutes of the last meeting are as followed:

Keyblade Master Sora called the meeting to order at 13:55 Radiant Garden time on March 25th, 2006. Attendance was recorded by Secretary Rai Mainez. All members were in attendance. This was approved, and seconded. Rai also read minutes of the last meeting. Old business of the history unit starting in three weeks was read. New business included training at Radiant Gardens to occur on April 2nd, 2006. Keyblade Master Sora reminded that it is required to attend these training sessions, and that under no circumstances should these sessions be skipped unless you are told not to come. With no further comments, the meeting was adjourned 45 minutes into the meeting."

"Thank you Rai. Old business: the training session of April 2nd 2006 was today. As you were told, one day after the meeting of March 25th, we were told that only I was required to come. Sora did not give a reason. I was in attendance of this training session. This leads me to new business, and the main reason of why I am holding this emergency meeting for Master Sora. New Business includes the following: first, the history unit is suspended until further notice. Starting next week will be the combat unit. Master Sora has told me to tell you that you will be alerted of training sessions in three days if all goes as planned. Also, I have another piece of new business. This is the reason for the meeting today. Upon arriving in Radiant Gardens, a creature of some sort appeared in front of me resembling the shape of a heartless. Using my keyblade, given to me by Master Sora, I defeated the creature to see a large heart appeared above it. Then Master Sora appeared, but before he could finish what he was saying, he was interrupted by a tall figure on the other side of the Town Square. After a dark cloud of fog appeared, 19 more showed up. The reason I brought you hear is to warn you, warn you that a new organization is now here. They are named "Alpha Dark". We don't have any information about them yet. This is just a warning sign to precaution you to be careful. Their description is simple, tall figures in dark cloaks. You cannot see their faces. Their hands will be behind their backs. If you see a member of Alpha Dark, DO NOT attempt to approach these men. They are much more powerful than Organization XIII was, according to Master Sora." I said. Why did I lie, and leave information out? I feel bad about it, but it would be better if they don't truly know the full story.

"Any questions?" I asked.

"Yeah, I got one. Why should we believe your warning? You don't know better than anyone else Dimitri." Fai-Lynn smarked. Here we go again…

"Fai-Lynn! No need to ask that! Back off! He was there, so I think he knows what he's talking about." Siri blasted out.

"Siri, you know what? Shut up! No one asked for your smart mou-"

"Fai-Lynn! That is enough! I am tired of hearing that mouth of yo-"

"Are you seriously going to go th-"

"Yes. Yes he is Fai-Lynn. Now I'd advise you to stop. He is in charge right now, do not mess with him" Rai interrupted.

"Rai, you are not helping here. So, shut u-"

"Don't you dare tell me to shut up!"

Well, that esculated quickly...

The meeting irrupted to major chaos, much out of my control. An emergency meeting has erupted to a screaming match. Master Sora would be disappointed in me.

"ENOUGH! ALL OF YOU! YOU WILL ALL BE QUIET AND LISTEN TO DIMITRI OR THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED!" Alvin screamed, much to my disliking.

"Alvin! That was my ear you just squeaked into. Be quiet. With no further notes, I adjourn this meeting now!" I scream, and I slam my hand on a button to disconnect my webcam.

"Well…I had the meeting Alvin. I failed too."

"Don't worry about it. You did what Master Sora asked. That's all you needed to."

"True."

"Get some more rest Dimitri. You will need it for later with Master Sora." Alvin told me. Sounds like good advice to me.

"Good night Alvin."

"Good night."
