Chapter 5
"Done," said Hikari as she finished tying the raft to the dock. "Hikari!" Antan yelled as he ran over to the dock, "what are you doing here?" said Hikari a little annoyed but at the same time relieved to see him. "Well I thought you might need help, besides being out here all alone in the dark seems a little scary," he said scratching his head and smiling. "Thanks but I'm fine and I'm not afraid of the dark of being alone," Hikari smiled at him, "let's get back before the storm gets worse." She said as she jumped off the dock, Antan nodded and they started to walk back. "Stop," whispered Hikari, "what why?" asked Antan stopping. "We're surrounded," she answered, "I don't. . ." the shadow around them started to move toward them then they started taking form. "RUN!" yelled Hikari jumping over the shadows and heading toward the seaside shack Antan followed.
As soon as Antan got inside the shack Hikari slammed the door shut and pushed a crate in front of it so the shadow couldn't get in. "what the hell were those things?!" asked Antan dropping to the floor and trying to catch his breath. "Shadow heartless," Hikari answered taking out her book. "You mean like the creatures in your book?" he asked trying not to show how confused and afraid he was. "Yep, and unfortunately I don't like to fight so I don't have any weapons," said Hikari looking through her book frantically. "Cant we just throw these damn crates at them?!" "We could but there's too many of them, and we'd eventually run out of crates to throw at them." She said still looking through her book. "Do you know any magic?" Antan asked getting up and walking over to her, "I only know healing magic and even that isn't very strong." We're doomed aren't we?" he asked hopelessly, "no we're not there's always a way," she stopped flipping through the book. "But this stupid thing isn't going to tell us it!" she threw the book at the wall and it dropped to the floor. "We'll just have to find our own way out of this," she started to pace around trying to think. "Uh, Hikari!" said Antan backing up, "not now Antan, I'm trying to think," –what would Sora do- she asked herself, "HIKARI!" he yelled, "WHAT?!" she yelled back, she turned to him and saw the stunned look on his face. He was pointing at something, she turned in the direction he was pointing and saw what he was pointing at.
Kairi's book was glowing! Hikari walked towards it, as she did the light started to glow brighter ad brighter. The whole room was soon engulfed in the light; it was too bright Hikari couldn't keep her eyes open. Once the light had passed they both opened their eyes and saw that Hikari had something in her hand. "What the hell is that?" asked Antan surprised. "It's the. . . Keyblade," said Hikari amazed, as she looked it over. –why me? I'm not strong, or smart or brave like Senn or Reise so why'd it choose me?- "what now?" asked Antan interrupting her thoughts. Hikari thought about it for a minute, "the Keyhole!" she said suddenly. "Keyhole?" Antan asked. "Yes the keyhole to this world, if we can seal it the heartless will go away," "ok, so where is it?" "It's in that cave where we met that guy from organization XIII." She said as she moved the crate away from the door. "So we're going to the cave, but what about all the heartless?" "Ignore them, just focus on getting to the cave, as soon as I open the door run for the cave." Hikari said hooking the Keyblade to her belt and picking Kairi's book off the ground and putting it back into her coat. Antan just nodded.
Hikari pushed the door open and ran toward the cave, Antan ran after her. The cave's entrance had changed, it wasn't covered by bushes and leaves anymore instead there was a white door. They ran past all the shadows and got to the cave entrance Hikari opened the door and they ran in, the door closed automatically once they were inside. They ran through the cave they got to the innermost part and saw XIII standing in front of the wooden door. ""you're too late, this world will soon be swallowed by the darkness again," he turned to them and started to laugh. Hikari took out the Keyblade, "I won't let it," she charged at the man but he disappeared before she could get to him. "TOO LATE!!" his voice echoed through the cave, Hikari pointed the Keyblade at the door the keyhole started to appear but it was too late the door burst open and a gust of wind blew them away.
"ugh, what happened?" asked Hikari waking up. She stood up and looked around that's when she saw a towering castle surrounded by mountains. "Hollow Bastion!"
