Chapter V: The Missing Heart

Last Time...

"What the heck! Where...Are we? I'm... your persona."

Continue...

(Kingdom Hearts: Castle Oblivion)

I'm walking in Castle Oblivion, trying to explore the upper floors for "someone" special. But... as I tried the very last upper floor... I couldn't find what I was looking for.

I then ended up walking back to the entrance, to find the lower floors.

At the entrance...

I panted as I walked, Speed walked, and ran as I got to the entrance. I was in the middle of the room, and looking back at the door. I decided to walk towards it, but I hesitated as I saw it open. I grunted as I saw who it was. It was that Exile from the future. The mysterious teen stared at me with a blank expression.

"I was wondering where you are." I said. "Now I found you." The blacked hair teen is still staring at me with no response yet.

He then walked forward towards me at a distance and stopped. "I was...Looking for someone...Who is... Sleeping...With a heart...Being mended." He spoke.

"I was...Looking down...stairs...to...sense his...Presence." I cocked my eyebrow. "His...Presence?" Exile nodded as a response. "I was...Looking...In the 'Basement'...For Him...The one...With the broken...Heart...That is being...Mended...But yet...It's still...Incomplete." I then thought about what he said.

"Quick question. Do you know who resides here? Because...I already know the person to look for. His name is..." When I tried to say the person's name that I'm looking for, no words came out. Exile didn't respond at my action. I grunted as a response. "Looks like this world is preventing me from saying the person's name that lives here. But still...I haven't found one clue to find him. Aqua really hid," before I could say anything else, I realized the answer to the problem, "That's it!" I shouted with joy. "We just have to find her!" Exile didn't phase at my answer. "Okay. Now your just being...How do I say it...Um..." Before I could think, Exile summoned his Keyblade. "WHOA!" I Shouted. "What are you doing?!" Realm then began to respond to my answer. "Call...out...your...Keyblade," he said as he pointed his Keyblade at me. I began to respond back at him. "Um...I really...don't actually...have one." I said as I tilted my back backwards for personal space, since his Keyblade is near my face. Exile wasn't phase at all, at what I said. I rolled my eyes in response. "Okay," I said with a pause, "I guess I could try to summon one." I then reach for my pocket and got out my house keys. I then move backwards for space and I threw my keys in the air and caught it as it transformed into the "Kingdom Key".

I held it above me, examining it. Then...Realm did something unexpected. The tip of his Keyblade glowed dark. I knew what he was doing, so I got out of the way.

The tip of Realm's Keyblade shot out a beam of darkness at the door, that leads to the Basement and the upper levels. I mindlessly watched as he turned the door pitch black. I couldn't see the door handles or anything as a matter of fact. I stared with fear in my eyes. Exile then looks at me and said, "It's...your...turn...now."

He then pointed at entrance door of Castle Oblivion. I kinda knew what he wanted me to do. My guess, he wanted me to use the Keyblade and use it to turn the entrance into pure light. I looked at him and said, "Uh...you should know...I don't think I can do the same thing you want me to do with that door."

Realm began to respond, "Just...point the Keyblade...at the door...and think of...light. You...have to...trust me."

I rolled my eyes and did what he said. I pointed the Keyblade at the door and closed my eyes. I thought of white light.

Then... I heard something from the Kingdom Key. I opened my eyes and I saw stars forming into light at the tip of the Kingdom Key. Then the light burst and created a line of light which eventually touched the entrance door of Castle Oblivion. I was in awe. The door sparkled in a pure white light, yet it blinded me, which I had to shield my eyes with my arm. The light then eventually stopped being bright and I could see again. I lowered my arm and I look towards Realm. I saw him staring at the ceiling. I then looked up and I was horrified at what I saw.

(Castle Obivion: End)

(Kingdom Hearts: Face It!)

What I saw...is a bunch of Shadow Heartless. But they are hanging upside down. To make things even worse, a bunch of "Dusk" Nobodies appeared also.

They then dropped to the ground with ease and landed on their legs. It looked like an entire army. They kept falling, but a force field appeared, and it began to cut the Heartless's from falling the ground. But, they did land on the force field though. But the main problem, was how did they get here, and why did they come here now. It's impossible, that they can't come in the main floors with save points. Then I saw Exile got in a battle stance, as he got ready for battle. I was scared, but...I got into a stance also. I put my left hand in my left pocket and held the Keyblade in a reverse grip.

(Face It!- End)

(Forgotten Challenge)

After waiting in our battle stances a black line appeared and said: "Defeat all the Heartless". I raised my eyebrow in suspicion, but Exile immediately ran towards the Heartless and Nobodies. He was slashing and hacking through them, not giving them a chance to attack. Then a bunch of Unversed and Dream Eaters surrounded me.

I immediately panicked, standing there, frozen in place. I became very hesitant...unable to move. But...if I didn't fight, I would end up dead.

I griped the the Kingdom Key in my hand and stare at the Heartless in front of me, shaking. The Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed, and the Dream Eaters, all began to pounce at me, all at once. I shown fear in my eyes, as everything slowed down. Time around me stopped as I couldn't budge my body. I just...stared in the darkness.

"Is...is this the end?" I asked myself in thought. "Am I going to die...? I lowered my head and closed my eyes, as I was angry. "I...I...I DON'T WANT TO DIE YET!" I shouted out at the ceiling. Then, the creatures around me suddenly evaporated into a mist-essence. The Heartless turned into pure darkness, the Nobody turned into a glittery-white-droplets of water; the Unversed turned into a blue essence, while the Dream Eaters turned into, what appeared to be a violet crystal or just darkness in its essence. I stared in awe. Then I heard a voice. "Let me take over. If your not going to get the job done, then let me take care if it-you pathetic weakling!"

(Forgotten Challenge- end)

I notice the voice was coming from my mind. Then everything turned blank. I only saw darkness. But...I felt like I was falling. I closed my eyes and opened them again, and I realized why I felt like I was falling. My body was falling into an abyss of darkness. I didn't panic for some reason. Everything around me, felt...warm.

I felt like I was reaching something. I then moved my body around-feet first and landed on something solid. I then took one step forward with my right foot and a bunch of white doves appeared; which revealed a bright stain glass pillar. I then stared at the doves, as they fly away...in the darkness. I then stared at the stain glass.

(Dive Into The Heart)

I knew where I was. I'm in my heart. Not my physical heart, but, the magical one, that everyone can visit, if their Kingdom Hearts related worlds, or other worlds.

Basically...I dived into my personal heart. I began to walk forward as Sora did long ago in the franchise series. I was in the middle of my heart.

I saw my imagine in the stain glass. I was sleeping, while leaning. I then saw a bunch of circles with my loved ones. I saw Richard there also. Their eyes were open, which tells me they are awake. But I just realized, there was even more circles there should of been. I began to wonder.

"Have I connected my heart with that many people...or...their someone I haven't seen a long time and I eventually forgot."

As I was in thought, I heard something appear. I looked straight forward and I saw stain glassed stairs.

I then began jogging/running, on them. As I did a digital screen appeared, which made me hesitate and surprised me. I only saw first person view. I knew something was up/suspicious. Then the being looked at Realm, which he was fighting. Then I knew that was my body, obviously. I then continued jogging and more screens appeared as I did. I saw what was taking over my body. I knew I had to hurry up and wake up. I continued to run up the glass stairs, but when I did, more screens appeared, showing what is happening in the present. I Kept on running, until I finally made it to the next pillar. As I made it, I breathed hard, telling me I should get in shape some more. I started to walk towards the middle of the pillar, still trying to regain air in my lungs. Then...for some reason...I could hear music. I knew it was "Dive Into The Heart". But it was getting more intense. Then another pillar appeared, but this time, it lead straight upwards, like giant stairs. I groaned, from the sight. "I wonder what is the freakin' secret to these 'Dive Into The Heart' things. I groaned again and continued to move on to the stairs.

I decided to walk this time, but as I did, the music started to get very intense. But, after a few minuets, I heard something shatter, like glass. When I heard that sound...my eyes widen. I quickly twisted my body enough, that I saw what happened. "The glass is...shattering," I muttered in a whisper. I gasped as I saw how much the glass is progressing. I immediately started to run upwards, trying my very best. Then after what felt like a few minuets, a bunch of screens appeared and I gasped at what happened. Realm and my body began to walk upstairs, trying to get away from the Heartless. I continued to run, but I was out of shape and started to lose a lot of stamina, but I had enough to make it to the last step. At the very last step, I jumped, as it felt like something told me to. As I landed on the pillar the stairs shattered, leaving no trace. I breathed very deeply, trying to regain lost air in my lungs. Also, my legs feel like their burning. "Tch," I made out, but my next word was censored but I continued to say "chemicals". I groaned as I let my legs collapse on the glass. I sighed, but, what happened next got me very irritated. I looked at the middle of the pillar and saw my shadow, growing longer. I gasped as my eyes were surprised. I already knew what was going to happen next.

(End of: Dive Into The Heart)

Let's back track...

Realm's (p.o.v.)

Realm was holding his ground, preventing the Heartless from attacking him. He had his Keyblade in front of him, with his emotionless expression.

I he saw the Heartless crawling towards him. He gripped the Keyblade tighter and began to jump high enough, that he used his Keyblade to hit the ground, causing a shock wave, that defeated the Heartless. He then heard my possessed body shouting out battle crys, as it began using the Keyblade in hand, defeating the Heartless.

Realm watched my body, not lowering his guard for the Heartless and Nobodies. He saw me, defeating the Nobodies with ease. But a Heartless began to creep towards Realm from behind. When it did, it began to pounce. Everything in Realms position, began to slow down, at the point where time stopped. In an instant, Realm gripped his Keyblade in hand and swung it at the Heartless behind him, thus vanquishing it. He then got in his battle position and started to lunged towards the Nobodies that are attacking my body. My body saw Realm trying to help me and it understood what he was doing. We kept on fighting with each other, assisting when one was surrounded. We kept on fighting, until the point we were fighting back-to-back, in our battle stances, as we were surrounded. As the Dusks and Shadows were moving slowly towards us, we both came up with a plan in mind. We looked at each other and I nodded, knowing what to do. The Dusks and Shadows then began to pounce towards at us. At the last second, the enemies were frozen in midair, like time stopped for them. We then ran towards the walls as fast we could. As we did that, we kept on running, till the point, we were running on the walls itself. But I felt like I was slipping, but I was high enough for my plan to work. On our last step, Realm and I jumped off the wall and pointed our Keyblades towards the ground at a high velocity, that created a shockwave and shouted, "Shock Wave!".

Then the Dusks and Heartless began to feel parts of their bodies that became numbed. But when they regain their movement, they turned into a mixture of darkness and sparkling light. Then the barrier began to disappear, leaving white sparkling dust. Then a door appeared, leaving itself open. We then looked at each other and nodded and ran up the stairs. After several minuets, another door was waiting to be opened, which made us stop running and examine it. I looked at Realm, as he opened the door without hesitation. He was the first one to get in. Then it was my turn to see what was in the room. But, I saw Realm stop moving, even after several steps as he got in. I began to walk with estimation, as I went on a guess, what was there. As got in the room, I immediately gasped, at Realm was looking at.

In my point of view, I saw what was happening in my Heart. My eyes were full of surprise, yet I couldn't believe it, yet I did. There was someone sleeping on what happen to be on a throne. It was a boy, a teenager in fact. He had brown hair, a white and black vest, with red in them. Also, he had a X shaped mark, with a heart crest on it, to keep it on together. He also had black baggy pants with a grey mixture. He is also wearing a mixture of colors of black and grey, shoes, with red eyes.

Finally, he is wearing checkered waist band and what appears to be armor underneath his shirt, also the shoes were armor as well.

"V-Ventus," I shouted out to the screen. But the screen disappeared. But I gasped at what was really happening to me right now. There is this Darkside I had to take care of.

I groaned as I had nothing to defend myself with. The Darkside then proceed to use its fist to assault me. Out of fear, I shielded myself making a "x" shape, and scream. Then everything turned pitch black, that moment on.
