Hey everybody, this is Chapter 3 for The Key to Rebirth and I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed the last chapter, and I'd also like to thank you for reading.

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, I just enjoy it.

Azen woke up and quickly realized he was no longer in an alley. "What the…" He thought to himself, he rubbed his eyes so that he could see better. He stood on a tall tower with a stain glass window at the top of it, and all around him was darkness."What is this place?
"So…you're finally up." Azen turned to where the voice was emitting from and discovered a familiar face, but not a friendly one, for there stood Ovek with a large grin on his face. "So, you were chosen too? This'll be a synch."
"Chosen? For what?" Azen asked, confused.
Ovek laughed loudly, "You don't know?! Man you're an idiot too!"
"Just shut up and tell me why were here." He was getting frustrated at Ovek now.
"Growing up in our town I'm sure you've heard the legends."
Azen thought for a moment, and then answered. "We have a lot of legends, which ones are you talking about?"
"The keyblade ones you numbskull." He grunted saying this, he seemed like he was getting annoyed as well.
"Oh, those ones. You mean were being chosen to be keyblade masters?" Azen was getting excited now, but didn't want it to show.
"I guess so, the Sacred Voice hasn't spoken yet so your guess is as good as mine." They stood there for a few more moments and then a soft voice spoke. There can only be one true master… Ovek looked at Azen and grinned. But, instead of fighting each other, you shall work together against the common enemy. The one to survive will truly the others master. "Work together?! Screw that!"
"We don't really get a choice Ovek, so what do you say, can we work together just this once?" Ovek glared at Azen for what seemed to be hours, and then held out his hand, Azen reached out and shook it. "Okay, let's do this." Three stone pillars lifted out of the ground, on them were a staff, a shield, and a sword. Choose wisely… Ovek quickly sprinted to the sword and picked it up, he grinned as he looked back at Azen. "Fine, you can have that one." He then walked slowly to the shield and picked it up. Once he picked it up a door appeared on the other end of the tower. Ovek jumped down from the pillar and started walking towards it, Azen walked around the pillar in front of him and jogged to catch up to Ovek.
On the other side of this door is either your future…or your end. "Looks like it'll be your end Azen." Ovek said with a smile on his face, Azen just rolled his eyes. The door opened, and behind it was light. They were both pulled into it and the next thing they knew they were on another tower, but this one was different. On the glass was a picture of a boy with spiked brown hair holding a keyblade. Around him were a duck, a dog, a girl, and another boy, Ovek laughed loudly. "What the hell's up with the duck?! HAHAHA!!" Azen smiled at his comment.
"Hey, try to be a bit quieter, the voice might try to talk to us again." Ovek nodded and silenced himself. Three white creatures then appeared out of nowhere, they looked like puppets in a way. These are some of the monsters you will be facing, they are called Nobodies. The puppets then jumped at Ovek, who wasn't prepared for an attack, they had him on the ground and seemed like they were going to bite him. "Get off of him!" Azen ran towards Ovek and knocked the Nobodies off of him using his shield. "Get up, you can do more damage than I can." Ovek nodded and got up off of the ground, he then held his sword firmly in both hands.
"Come on you Nobodies!" He yelled, then they all jumped at him, but he was ready this time. He had his sword to his side so he swung it up, letting his left hand go free as he swung. The sword went 

through all the Nobodies, they fell back and then disappeared. "Take that." He then turned to Azen and got very quiet, "Thanks for saving me…" It was so quiet Azen hardly heard it, but he wasn't going to ask him to repeat it so he just nodded.
Another door then appeared at the end of the room and they walked towards it together. Once they arrived they heard the voice again, This is the final room, one of you is sure to lose. "Don't die Azen…" Said Ovek, quietly again this time.
"What happened to you wanting me to die?" Azen asked suspiciously.
"You saved my life, and it made me realize you're a pretty cool person, and I was hoping we could put our differences behind us back home." Azen looked at him, shocked by what he just heard, Ovek was smiling, so he decided to as well.
"I won't die, and neither will you, we'll make it through this." Ovek nodded, and the door opened, light again at the other end of it. They walked in and the next thing they knew they were on a tower with grey glass. It gave off just enough light so that they could see the area, "This is weird." Ovek nodded and they walked forward, once they arrived at the center the tower shook.
"What was that?!" Ovek yelled.
"I have no idea, but be on your guard." Azen said, raising his shield. Ovek followed and raised his sword ahead of him as well. A grey hand appeared at the edge of the tower, and then another hand appeared, after a moment it could be seen that a person was pulling himself up. And after another couple of seconds he was standing on the tower, he had a sheathed sword at his side and a shield on his back, and he was also completely grey, his face was expressionless. "I guess we have to defeat him." The grey man unsheathed his sword and held it in his right hand, then grabbed his shield and attached it to his left. "Let's go Ovek!" The man then disappeared, "What the?" He then reappeared behind Ovek and slashed at him, he quickly turned around and blocked his attack. He grinned cockily, the man then put more force into his attack and Ovek flew back onto the ground. He walked towards Ovek, now with an evil smile on his face. For some reason Ovek couldn't run away, the man then stabbed down at Ovek. Azen jumped in the way and blocked the attack with his shield. "Get up Ovek!" He then snapped out of his fear and quickly stood up. Azen fell down to the ground while still blocking his attack, the man was pushing his sword into the shield with incredible force.
"Get off of him!" Ovek yelled, charging at the man. The man's sword then pierced through the shield and stabbed Azen in the heart, Ovek stopped in shock.
Azen coughed up blood, "I don't want to die… not yet..." Darkness then engulfed his body and he disappeared. The man raised his sword up and looked at Ovek, who was now crying. He wiped the tears away and was now mad. He charged at the man and slashed at him, he blocked with his sword, Ovek then pushed harder and harder and broke through his sword. Right when the attack was about to make contact the man turned into smoke and disappeared.
"Get back here!!" Ovek yelled, to no effect. He fell to his knees and began to weep, he heard a voice over his tears. Congratulations, you are the true master of the key. He then blacked out, tears still pouring from his eyes as he fell to the ground.
