"Good job, kid." I said, sticking out my hand.

"My name's not 'kid'." He said, while shaking my hand with his gloved one. "It's Sarc." I looked Sarc up and down. He was wearing a black jacket over a yellow shirt. A black heart inside a white keyhole necklace was around his neck. He wore a pair of denim shorts with white shoes. He had brown hair, but his eyes were…different. His eyes had a blue ring on the inside and a grey ring on the outside.

"Well Sarc, we need to get out of here before those shadows reform."

"Do you know the way?"

"Nope. I thought you did."

"This is the first time that I've seen this place since I woke up."

"Well, I came from this way." I said, while pointing behind me. I realized that I was still in my Final form, so I transformed back into my regular clothes: a black and red t-shirt under a black and white hoodie with the Hidden Leaf symbol on the back, black jeans and red High-top Converses. "So…"

"So it's only logical that we head this way." He said while pointing behind him.

"Bingo." I said as I struck up a conversation with him. "By the way," I asked, breaking the lull in the conversation. "You haven't seen my Artic Wolf anywhere, have you?"

"Your what?!"

"My Artic Wolf. It's like a Husky puppy, but with snow white fur."

"Oh." He replied. "No, I haven't." We turned around the corner to find a herd a brightly colored animals, that didn't look to friendly by the looks in their red eyes.

"What. The heck. Are those?" I asked, pointing at the herd.

"They're called Dream Eaters. More specifically, Nightmares." Sarc answered. "Don't you know anything about other worlds outside your own?"

"Nope." I replied. "I've only had to fight Heartless and the occasional Unversed." Sarc rolled his eyes as we bolth drew our Keyblades.

We charged into the battle, only to have these pudgy, dog-like creatures charge towards us in a line. I threw Bonded Dragon like a boomerang at the row, and they disappeared after one touch. More appeared in their place, so I split Bonded Dragon into Bond of Flame and Hidden Dragon.

The so called Nightmares split us up. Man, I really wish K-9 was here. I mowed through the Nightmares facing me in time to see Sarc disappear under a pile of the dog-like Nightmares.

"SARC!" I yelled. I'd only taken two steps in his direction, when I heard a roar and saw four pillars of light make the Nightmares disappear.

I turned in the direction that the roar originated from and saw a lion-like Nightmare standing over Sarc. I combined Bond of Flame and Hidden Dragon back into Bonded Dragon and proceeded to slice the Nightmare to oblivion. I was just about to destroy the Nightmare when Sarc's Keyblade blocked my own.

"Why did you stop me?!" I exclaimed.

"Because this is a friendly Dream Eater." Sarc said calmly. "This is a Spirit." I took a good look at it and saw that it had a Neon color scheme, whereas the Nightmares had a muted color scheme.

"So. It's like your pet huh? Whatcha gonna name it?" I asked.

"Wakati." Sarc announced after a few minutes of thinking.
