Hi peoples! Today I have a friend helping me type so it will be a quick update! Yayyyy! Ok so I have to say this chapter might go to fast, but all will be explained throughout the story. (You see I write a chapter first then type it. I'm on chapter 6 on my writing stage.) I will try my best!

Chapter 4 Hallow Bastion!

Sora opened the gummi ship's door and breathed in Hallow Bastion's air. "Aaaa… that's the smell of Hallow Bastion." Said Sora giving a relaxed smile. Sora, Donald, and Goofy walked out of the ship while Amu slowly followed. As she got out she observed the town. The cottage buildings on each side, the brick walls, even the river.

"It's like a village in a fairytale Desu." Su said with amazement.

Amu caught up with the rest of the gang and asked,: So Sora…" Suddenly a bunch of small black creatures popped out of nowhere. Each had big yellow eyes, Antennas, and an un-calm movement. Amu had never seen this before!

"Heartless…" Sora growled. He then gave off a cautious potion, "Amu stay back."

Amu stood there in wonder, "Huh…" Then a flashing glow went through Sora's hand and a big item appeared. It was a key.

The key was huge, bigger than most keys Amu has seen. The key also had a unique look to it. It was gold with a silver handle. At the end of it there was a keychain with a silver mouse shaped head. Sora twirled the key with his hand to Amu's surprise. Donald had a staff and Goofy had a shield, they looked ready to fight. Sora then hit one of the black creatures with one slash. The creature disappeared on impact. That's when all of the creatures began to jump and attack, but Sora slashed each and every one that came his way. Donald and Goofy did the same, but hit them with their own weapons.

When all of the creatures were gone, Sora's key was gone too and he began to rest.

"What are heartless?" Amu asked, now curious about what all of that was about.

Sora looked up at her and said, "Heartless are…well…let's have Leon explain it to you." Sora then began to walk again with Donald and Goofy following and Amu, Ran, Miki, And Su by their sides.

They came across one of the cottage brick buildings and went in. "Leon! Merlin! Anyone home!" shouted Sora.

A girl with pale skin, brown hair, and a cute pink dress came out. She was wearing a bow on her head and looked kind of shy. "Welcome", she said in sweet voice.

Sora walked up, "Aerith! Have you seen Leon or Merlin?"

"Sorry, but they just left to battle more heartless." Aerith replied.

Sora thought, then said, "Oh…well... I guess we'll have to go find them. Oh and Aerith, this is Amu by the way." Sora said grabbing Amu, making her blush. "Amu, why don't you stay Aerith while we look for Leon." Sora said politely.

Amu began to blush more, "Uhmm...Okay."

Sora let go of Amu and gave her a big smile, "Thanks." Then he, Donald, and Goofy ran outside as the door shut behind them.

"So what's your name again?" Aerith asked staring at Amu.

Amu felt a sign of pressure pushing her, "A...m…u, Amu."

Aerith smiled, "Nice to meet you. Would you like some tea?"

"Sure." Amu replied. Aerith went to make tea, while Amu found somewhere to sit. Tea sounded good to Amu. It made her think of times she drank tea with the other guardians at the Royal Garden. So nice and refreshing. She missed it.

The tea wasn't as good as the tea in the Royal Garden, but it was close enough. Amu and Aerith began to talk making Amu feel comfortable. "What are heartless?" Amu asked. She was still so curious of what those creatures were. Aerith put her tea down and sighed. Aerith then explained to Amu what heartless were, what they want, and who created them. "So their like x-eggs…" Amu mumbled.

"X-eggs? Why would an egg have an x?" Aerith asked.

"Oh well… they… it's a really long story."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah."

"Oh." Aerith giggled. Amu wondered where Sora and the others went.

"Hey Aerith, I'm going go outside." Amu replied.

Aerith looked at Amu, "Oh ok. Be careful of heartless though."

Amu ran toward the door, "Will do!" Amu then ran outside while Ran, Miki, and Su followed.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy were still searching for Leon as they fought their way through heartless. When they paused to take a break, a noise of a sword clanking came. They ran towards the metal sounding noise. When they reached the core of the noise they saw Leon fighting off heartless one by one.

"Leon!" shouted Sora as he ran in to help.

"Hey" Leon replied, slashing the heartless. Both began to talk as they hit each heartless.

"Leon, have you heard anything about a keyhole locket?"

"Hmmm no why?"

Sora did a 360 spin and sliced three heartless. "You see, I brought this girl from another world, and she carries this keyhole in a locket. Master Yen Sid said it was important to the world."

"Is the girl here?"

"Yeah", he replied. Leon jumped high and slammed six heartless.

"Can you bring her here?"

"Yeah, I'll go get her." Sora ran calling for Donald and Goofy who were fighting too, "Come on! Let's go get Amu!" They three of them ran towards Merlin's house.

Amu wasn't sure where she was going, but she took paths that her mind told her to go through.

"Amu-Chan where are you going!" Asked Ran.

"To where Sora and the other's are." She replied. Now that she knew what heartless was, she wanted to help. Besides, they were like x-eggs. Amu stopped to take a breath.

"Amu-Chan, look!" Shrieked Miki. Amu turned around to find white floating creatures surrounding her. She backed up slowly. The white creatures now had her cornered to a building. Suddenly, a huge slash from a large axe came. The white creatures disappeared, revealing a person wearing a black coat.

"I see they're after your lock too." The coated figure said.

Amu tried to back up more, "Huh?..."

"You're coming with me." The coated figure said, Grabbing Amu's arm. Amu closed her eyes and they both went through a black portal.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy went inside Merlin's house. "Amu!" Sora yelled.

Aerith came in, "She went outside Sora." Sora nodded his head in response, then ran out the door.

"So where's Amu?" Donald asked, following Sora.

Sora just ran faster, "Somewhere, we have to find her for Leon." Sora wanted to know more about that lock just as much as Leon did.

Amu opened her eyes to see a white room filled with flowers. It was like a garden, and she was tangled in it. She was sitting on the floor with her knees a foot away from her face, with green flowers tying them. Her hands were in a spread out form. Her left arm laid out on the left, while her right arm laid out on the right. Both were tied against the wall with more flowers. Amu tried to move, but couldn't budge. The black figure appeared. "Who are you?" Amu yelled.

The black figure took off his hood to show a guy with pink hair, "My name is Marluxia. Amu."

"How do you know my name?" Amu asked.

Marluxia bent down to Amu and grabbed her lock that was around her neck. "I'm interested in your lock." He smiled gleaming over it.

Amu began to panic, "Where's Sora?" To her surprise another black portal came and another coated figure with red spiky hair came out.

Marluxia let go of the lock and turned around, "Oh you're here."

"What? Am I not handsome enough for ya?" The spiky red head guy asked.

"Whatever." Marluxia said getting up. "Go watch the prisoner while I take a break."

"Prisoner!" Amu thought angrily through her head.

"Oh and watch these." Marluxia threw three small tiny people tied up by a twig to Axel. Marluxia went inside a black hole.

Amu stared at the spiky hair guy caring her charas, "Who are yo…"

"Axel! Got it memorized!" Axel interrupted, pointing at her.

Amu gave a dumbfound face, "Ok….Give me back my charas!"

Axel stared at the three scared charas, then back at Amu, "You mean these things?"

Amu gave him the best evil glare she had, which caused Axel to giggle. He stood there thinking for a moment and stared at her again, "Hmmmm…..I'll make you a deal."

"What deal?" Amu asked still glaring.

"I'll let you and your toys go if you look for somebody and bring him to me."

"Who?"

Axel bended down and whispered in her ear, "Roxas." He got up, "Deal?"

Amu knew she had to get out of here. What other choice did she have? "Deal." She answered.

Axel held the charas in his left hand and pointed his index finger with his right hand. A small flame came to his index finger. He slowly brought the flame to the twig, tying up the charas, and the twig burnt in half, send the charas tree. He then held out both of his hands to the side and two round spiky weapons appeared. Amu became shocked, but closed her eyes when Axel cut the flowers holding her.

Amu got up. "Don't forget our deal." Axel said.

Amu nodded, "But why…?"

"Hurry up and leave before I change my mind!" Axel said as he twirled one of the weapons with flames coming out of it. Amu looked around and found a white door. Together, Amu and her charas ran to the door.

One thing came to Amu's mind, don't mess with that guy. That deal she made, who was Roxas? Amu pushed the white door open and came in contact with one of the streets in Hallow Bastion. She realized she just opened one of the doors to a small cottage in Hallow Bastion, but she didn't remember entering one.

Sora, Donald, and Goofy came running down the street and stopped as soon as they saw her. Amu closed the door behind her and she and the charas walked up to the others. "Come on Amu!" Sora said. "There's someone I want you to meet."
