Sorry to make you wait! After several months of writer's block, here is chapter 3! Thanks again to everyone who has reviewed my story so far. I love hearing your opinions, so please keep 'em coming! Enjoy!

AntiSora and Wolf Link slipped out of the cell and quietly snuck into the empty cell next to them, where there was a secret passage out of there. Midna rode on Wolf Link's back, not making a sound. As AntiSora looked around, he noticed that the same odd glow from the forest was present here. That must have been the Twilight that Midna spoke of, and what caused him and Link to transform.

After a few minutes, he saw a tiny orb of light. If he listened, he could faintly hear a voice coming from it.

"You can talk, you know," Midna said suddenly, startling the teenager. "No one else can see or hear you."

"That little light, is it one of those spirits you mentioned?" AntiSora asked.

"Very good!" Midna said with a light clap of her hands. "You're catching on faster than this one did." She said that as she smacked Wolf Link upside the head.

The transformed Keybearer let out a small laugh. He stopped when he realized just how unnatural, almost sinister, it sounded. This made his desire to return to his original form that much stronger.

They made their way into the sewers only to be greeted by several Shadow Heartless. AntiSora and Wolf Link prepared themselves for battle. AntiSora got down on all fours and then pounced at the nearest Heartless, his claws destroying it. Wolf Link charged forward and rammed one Heartless before sinking his teeth into another.

Feral Trigger

AntiSora and Wolf Link horizontally spun towards the Shadows with their claws grinding against them several times and rounded them up.

Feral Destruction

Wolf Link howled and AntiSora slammed into the ground, and a black and white aura appeared around them, damaging nearby foes and destroying most of them.

AntiSora finally kicked at the last Shadow, destroying it. "We make a pretty good team, Link," he commented. Wolf Link barked in agreement. All was calm again, and the three continued on their way.

Soon AntiSora, Wolf Link and Midna made it out of the sewers and into a tower. The stairwell leading to the top was in terrible condition, but Midna was able to help the other two up thanks to her long orange hair, which acted like a hand to grab them and pull them up.

After a while, the group climbed out of the tower and onto the roof. The Keybearer could see that they were on top of a large castle. "Midna, you never answered my question about where we were," AntiSora mentioned.

"You're right, I didn't," Midna said. "This is Hyrule Castle, home of Princess Zelda… or at least it was. It looks quite lovely, all covered in Twilight…"

"Please tell me you're joking," AntiSora muttered, giving the imp a sideways look.

"You're talking to someone who is from the Twilight Realm," the imp pointed out. "Get used to it!" Then she kicked Wolf Link's sides to get him to start moving again. "Follow us!"

As they scaled the roof of the enormous castle, the group encountered another group of Heartless, but once again they were easily dealt with. Soon, the three of them reached a window and climbed through it carefully. They ended up on a stairwell that led to a locked door.

"If only I could use my Keyblade, I could open the door," AntiSora said, folding his arms.

"I'll handle this," Midna said just seconds before waving her arm and destroying the door. "Princess, you in here?" she called.

"That voice… Midna?" a feminine voice replied. AntiSora looked inside and saw a beautiful princess, apparently Zelda, sitting on the edge of the bed. And right next to her was…

"Riku! You're alright!" the Keybearer exclaimed as he rushed over to his friend, Wolf Link padding in after him.

"Sora, glad to see you," the silverette said as he stood up. He then noticed the uneasy look the princess was giving AntiSora. "It's okay, your highness. He's my friend."

Zelda sighed with relief. "He must have been transformed by the Twilight. Speaking of which," she said as Wolf Link came up to her and bowed his head, "I am glad you are here, Link, Midna."

"Yeah, but Riku… how come you haven't changed?" AntiSora asked. "I thought anybody else besides Link and I became a spirit."

"That's what the princess told me," Riku said with a shrug. "I don't know, but something's preventing me from using the Way of the Dawn." The silver-haired boy held up his right wrist which had a black manacle on it. "The one time I did try to use it, a terrible pain coursed through my body."

"So neither of you can use your Keyblades, then?" Midna asked, folding her arms. "Not very helpful."

"Watch it!" AntiSora growled before Riku gently grasped his shoulder, calming him a little. "The AntiForm I'm in now won't let me use the Keyblade. Once I'm out of the Twilight, I'll go back to normal and I can use it again. Right?" he asked turning to Zelda.

"That would most likely be the case," she said with a nod. "Link cannot use any of his weapons as a beast, so I suppose it makes sense."

"Can you tell us what happened?" the transformed Keybearer asked. "How did this place get covered by Twilight?"

The princess frowned. "One year ago, the Twilight threatened this world. If not for Link, darkness would have covered the land forever. As the rightful ruler of the Twilight Realm, Midna broke the last link between the two realms, or so we thought."

AntiSora whipped around to face the imp floating nearby. "Hold it! You're the ruler of the Twilight?!" he asked in disbelief.

Midna grinned and nodded. "You're looking at the Twilight Princess! Don't worry though, we're on the same side. Ask real nicely and maybe I'll show you my true form sometime!" she said with a giggle.

"To continue," Zelda cut in. "A few days ago, some sort of black portal opened in the throne room. Midna and a man in a black cloak came out. The man summoned these strange creatures, and I told Midna to get Link. They overwhelmed my knights, and the cloaked man imprisoned me here. I could only watch as the kingdom of Hyrule was covered by the Twilight."

"It's true," Midna said. "That guy showed up in my realm through a black portal and sapped some of my power. That must've been how he was able to do such a thing."

AntiSora bowed his head. "Your highness, I promise I'll defeat the Heartless and whoever's controlling them!" Wolf Link barked in agreement.

"Then I'm afraid it's up to you guys," Riku said as he sat back down on the bed.

"You're not coming with us?" AntiSora blurted out.

Riku just shook his head. "We don't know how much of Hyrule is covered. With this thing on my wrist, I'd just be a burden to you. At least you and Link can still fight." He gave his best friend a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I'll be okay."

The young Keybearer just looked at Riku for a few seconds before reluctantly nodding. "Alright, I'll go. I'll be back for you, I promise!"

"In that case, let me fix the door so we can get out of here!" Midna said. Waving her arms, she quickly repaired the door.

"I wish you both the best of luck," Zelda said.

AntiSora and Wolf Link bowed one more time before the Twilight Princess teleported them out of the castle.
