(Radiant Gardens: now)

"The next day, me and Anata started the Keyblade training." Seth said.

"Wow..." I responded.

I was amazed! This was the perfect day to go out on the town. Kylee is a life saver!

"And," I asked. "And, and, and?"

"And what," he replied.

"What happened next? Did you and Anata team up? Who was the prophecy about? And WHY don't they teach this story in RG History?"

"I'm not sayin' shit now," Seth replied.

"What? Why," I asked.

"You're annoying," he replied.

"Whatever! We've only met right now, how could I be annoying?"

"Well, right now for starters."

Thanks.

"And have you ever wondered why you woke up three days ago right there on the floor?"

I always found that weird. One night out with the guys and the only thing I got to show for it was a swollen check and the bar floor under me. I shrugged and then I got an unexpected answer.

"I punched you out for callin' me an old fag. Im younger then I look, ya know."

"Ohh... sorry about that. I blame the alcohol."

"Well, you remind me of my old master, Riku so I'll tell you."

Alright!

"It goes like this..."

(Radiant Gardens: long ago. Now told in Seth's eyes.)

"Where would I get a Keyblade though," I asked.

"Well, I brought back two," Riku said. "But I was gonna use them as grave markers in The Cavern but... Terra would want this. There are two Keyblades on the table in the next room. You take one, and Anata takes one."

"Okie dokie," Anata said.

"Gotcha," I said.

The four of us walked into the next room. There were two blades, like Riku said. One was gold and silver and kinda reminded me of light. The other one was green and brown. It kinda reminded me of the ground. I didn't know her for long but, the gold one reminded me of Anata.

"I want the Kingdom Key," Anata decided.

"Not surprising. You are Sora's kid after all," Aqua said.

"Well, bud looks like you get The Ends of the Earth. It's a good blade that belonged to a good soul," Riku stated.

"Cool," I said picking it up.

I was mentally drawn to it anyways. Anata picked hers up too. They both shone with blinding light. I felt some power going through me, and I saw a faint image of two men standing side by side. One looked like me and the other had brown hair and a gauntlet on his right arm.

'That must be Terra' I thought. 'I wonder if Anata is seeing Sora.'

"OK, enough day dreaming," Riku said shaking me, which got me out of the trance.

"I think I saw Terra," I said.

"Interesting..." Riku replied.

There was a short pause, almost like the man was trying to see him too.

"C'mon we gotta start training," he said. "Aqua and Anata are already outside." Riku said

"Yessir," I responded as we walked out of the base.

(One Month Later)

"Alrighty, Aqua and I have decided to have you guys spar to test you strength," Riku said. "Treat this like a real fight, and raise your left hand if you are done."

"I ain't raisin' my hand, Anata," I told her.

She smiled back and said, "Trust me, you are."

"Begin," Riku shouted, sparks of light and darkness coming out of his Keyblade.

I lunged out to hit Anata, but she sneaked up from behind and tried an uppercut. I got knocked flat on my face.

"60 Munny on my student," Aqua whispered to my master.

He just growled.

'C'mon,' I thought. 'Win, use what Riku taught you!'

"HEEEEYYYAAA!"

I jumped in the air, slashing repeatedly but missing every time. Anata dove under me and got me with a smack down. I went down again.

'I can't let her beat me,' I told myself.

I got up and ran with all I got at her. She side-stepped me and attempted to get me again but this time, I Dodge Rolled behind her.

"Get this," I shouted as I back stabbed her, literally.

She went flying six feet in the air and I made my biggest mistake ever. I jumped up to try to smack down her, but at the last second, she twirled above me, and gave me ANOTHER smack down. I hit my face hard on the dirt and I shamefully put my left hand up in defeat.

"Good job, Anata," Aqua cheered.

She looked at Riku with a smirk, holding out her right hand; "where's my Munny?"

Riku took 60 Munny out of his pocket and gave it to Aqua.

"That's my pupil! You get a break tomorrow!"

"WHHOOO! Thanks Aqua," Anata replies.

I laid on the ground, dumbfounded.

'How could she beat me? We started the same time too...'

On the ground, I saw Riku's shadow come towards me.

"I'm sorry Riku, I just wasn't-"

"Don't worry about it," he said smiling.

"Take it, as far as I'm concerned, you've earned it," he said giving me some Sea-Salt ice cream.

I smiled back at him. He didn't seem mad at all, he seemed proud of me. I couldn't help but smile.

"Let's go kid," he told me.

"Sooooo.. Does this mean I get tomorrow off also," I asked hopefully.

Riku knocked me on the head with his fist in response.

"HEEEEEEEELL NOOOO! YOU HAVE SOOOO MUCH FRAKING WORK TO DO IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY!"

"Ow, why'd you have to hit me" I shouted back.

"Why'd you have to ask a stupid question like that?"

This went on for a while until we got to the castle.
