Chapter 3

"How?" Terra asked surprised. He backed up a couple of feet and raised his Struggle bat.

Yellow Eyes just stared, a wide grin forming on his face. "What are you going to do with that toy?" He raised his hand. "Firaga!" as a fireball formed in his hand.

Terra raised his bat as Yellow Eyes shot the fireball, making the bat explode and sending Terra back ten feet into the street.

"It's time you learned Terra." he said. Terra coughed as he struggled to get up. Yellow Eyes suddenly warped in front of Terra.

"W-what are..." Terra started as Yellow Eyes grabbed his head, Terra winced from the pain and then everything went dark.

Terra stood up. "Where the hell...?" Terra was standing on a platform that overlooked nothing. On the platform was a picture of Terra. His head was hanging down obscuring his face. Surrounding him were 5 smaller pictures. Each of someone he knew. Hayner, Pence, Olette, Ven, and Aqua were staring ahead with blank expressions. All around him was darkness. He looked over the edge and the pillar went down several feet before disappearing into darkness. "Where is this place?" Terra asked

A voice suddenly spoke.

You need to unlock your powers. Do you understand?

"What?" Terra felt his hand twitch and looked down.

His hand started to glow and a bright light blinded him for a second. After the light died down, in his hand, was a sword or so he thought anyway.

Keyblade.

"Keyblade?" Terra repeated. And in fact it did look like a long ancient key. The grip itself was grey, surrounded by a blue double sided hand guard. The blade was a golden brown color like copper. At the end were three teeth just like a key, and on the other side in the same place were three more teeth but shorter. The top looked like a fan almost.

A weapon created from the heart, the Keyblade's chosen hero of light's weapon to defend against evil. Lets see how well you fare.

The voice went quiet and Terra swung his Keyblade a few times. The blade was surprisingly light despite its look. "This will be good". Terra thought.

Suddenly out of the darkness came a giant fist. Terra barely dodged out of the way of it. The creature was big. It towered over Terra like a black giant with weird tentacles of hair and yellow eyes. "Yellow eyes. Just like that man". he thought.

Use the Keyblade to save your life Terra, least the darkness take hold of your heart.

The giant heartless slammed its arm into the pillar, creating a circle of darkness. Its head lowered towards the ground staring at Terra. Terra decided to attack now. He ran to its head and stabbed at it and then followed up with a sideways slash. The giant roared as he pulled a ball of energy out of the ground.

"What's that?" Terra wondered.

As the giant lifted the ball of energy, it exploded into many tiny balls of energy which fell to the ground. Terra clumsily dodged the balls. It took about 10 seconds to dodge them, which luckily, Terra dodged all of. It then opened another dark circle where two little black creatures came out of. Their little heads looking around excitedly with two long antenna. They were about half the size of Terra with long claws and yellow eyes, the same as the giant's.

Can you do it Terra? the voice asked.

One of the creatures warped into the ground and disappeared. It reappeared under Terra and shot its claw out. Terra jumped up to avoid it, but was hit by the other one. Terra hit the ground, but quickly bounced back up on his feet. Terra swung at the creature then quickly spun around to slice the other, killing both in his path. Terra didn't notice the giant hand which hit Terra and almost threw him off the edge. Terra got back to his feet staggering a bit and looked at the giant.

"Damn!" Terra said getting frustrated.

Terra ran slashing furiously at its legs. After the fifth slash, it fell to all fours. Terra then jumped into the air (something he practiced during his sparring with Hayner) and came down hard with a downward slice onto the giants head. The giant roared again as he got up weakly and staggered a bit before falling. Terra just managed to get out of the way. Unfortunately the weight of the giant's fall shattered the pillar. Terra fell, with all the shards of stained glass into the darkness. Fast.

As Terra fell, the voice spoke again. Well done, your heart won this time. Dont forget Terra, Your greatest weapon is your heart and determination. Your will power will give you the strength you desire.

Terra felt three things when he came back to the dark street in Twilight Town. The cool night air rushing past his sweat coated face, the grip on his newly acquired Keyblade, and...his throat being crushed by Yellow Eyes' hand. Terra Wheezed as he swung upward. Yellow Eyes jumped back before Terra could do any damage.

"Well now!" he chuckled. "Now things get interesting huh Terra?" Yellow Eyes extended his arm out as darkness spread forming a long blade. A Keyblade. Its' hand and finger guards were black with strange elaborate designs. The blade itself looked like it was cut in half, but connected at the top where three teeth in the shape of a claw, with one on the opposite side were.

"You have one too!?" Terra asked in belief.

He raised his Keyblade and said "You can call me Xehanort." He then rushed at Terra. Terra sidestepped his attack and made one of his own, but Xehanort effortlessly blocked it and shot a wave of lightning which hit Terra and he crumpled to one knee. Xehanort swung his Keyblade down onto Terra, but Terra saw it and quickly threw his Keyblade up with both hands to block it. Even with Terra's strength, he couldn't keep Xehanort off. Xehanort's strength was unbelievable. Every hit he made came crashing down onto Terra's Keyblade. Sparks lit up the street corner. Terra's arms were starting to burn. Finally Terra couldn't hold onto his Keyblade and it was tossed out of his hands and thrown into the street. Xehanort then shot a ball of air, which sent Terra flying onto his back with a loud thud. Terra's keyblade disappeared in a flash of light leaving a hurt Terra looking up at a laughing Xehanort.

"Haha, is that it Terra?" he mocked. Terra got up and threw a punch at Xehanort, but he easily dodged it and kneed Terra hard in the stomach. As Terra hunched over, Xehanort then hit Terra in the back of the head. Terra fell forward cursing.

"Your like a child. How stupid to attack me unarmed." he chuckled. "You cant even summon your Keyblade, can you?" he chuckled again.

Terra just looked down angry and helpless. Xehanort made his Keyblade vanish and picked Terra off his feet with only one arm. Xehanort looked at Terra smirking. Terra looked back with angry eyes. "Are you angry boy?" he said in a mocking yet angry tone.

Terra just continued to glare. With his free arm Xehanort slugged Terra across the face, a little blood dripped down his mouth. "Terra, you don't know the meaning of Keyblade master yet."

"Keyblade...master?" Terra asked weakly.

Xehanort jumped up and threw a spinning back kick which sent Terra to the ground once more. "Yes like the power i wield. You don't understand true power, but i could show you. What do you say Terra?" he offered.

Terra mumbled something. "What was that?" Xehanort asked.

"I told you to piss off!" Terra laughed.

Xehanort's yellow eyes narrowed in anger. "You have any idea who your messing with boy?" Xehanort spat. "I'm years beyond you, you have no hope of winning this war boy."

"War?" Terra asked confused.

"Yes Terra. The war between light and darkness. The war that fate decided to drag us in. You are now apart of it and you will see the things i will bring about." Terra sat up as Xehanort put his hands behind his back and walked a few feet towards Terra under the street lamp.

"I think you've lost it." Terra said as Xehanort looked at him again with angry yellow eyes.

"No I've gained something Terra." he said wile moving his arms up. Terra noticed Xehanort liked using his hands when he spoke.

"Well the Keyblade chose me too so I guess I just need to beat you down before yo win right?" Terra mocked.

Xehanort kept staring. "Ahhh of course Terra." he said with an equally mocking tone. "Oh but Terra, I don't think you could actually cause me any trouble with how weak and pathetic you are. The boy who sleeps during class and who has no family." Xehanort laughed and Terra got angry.

Xehanort frowned. "Well you do have promise." Xehanort said as he examined Terra with his eyes. "Or do you?" Xehanort raised his hand as sparks of electricity formed around his fingers. Terra closed his eyes awaiting the pain.

Then a blast of ice hit Xehanort in the chest. Xehanort snarled and stepped away from Terra. "Who's there?" Xehanort asked.

A woman emerged from the shadows, wearing a blue tank top and a blue denim skirt with knee high brown boots, holding a Keyblade.

"You have one as well?" Xehanort asked surprised.

"Aqua!?" Terra said just as surprised.

Aqua rushed over to Terra who was still laying in the street. Xehanort teleported onto a nearby roof.

They both looked up at him. "Well this is certainly interesting." he laughed. "We will meet each other again soon I promise, especially you Terra." he said as a dark portal opened behind him and he stepped in, leaving a surprised Aqua and Terra alone in the night streets.

"I got here just in time." Aqua said between gulps of air.

Terra finally unable to bare it any longer, coughed. The last thing he saw before succumbing to exhaustion was Aqua's worried expression and then he passed out.

Author's note: This chapter was about the same length as the last, still kinda short they should start getting longer i hope. There was more action in this one and I hope I didnt rush it too bad. The story should be picking up once they leave Twilight Town so please be a little more patient and please read and review
