Our old friend the Man in the Hood was standing on top of a stone wall looking down at a battle in a garden with a fountain in the middle.

One was a woman wearing blue armour and wielding a matching keyblade. The other was a green short humanoid creature wielding a steel trident.

The woman was on defence, not being able to match her opponents speed. I don't know why, but the Man in the Hood was just looking down with his head tilted to the side.

The green creature swept it's trident under the woman's legs, knocking her to the ground. The Man in the Hood finally jumped to action, launching black and white vines at the creature.

Right before my heartless could through its trident at me vines of Light and Darkness wrapping around its arms. I thrusted my keyblade into it, turning it into black smoke.

I turned to look at my saviour and saw a man wearing a black hood on top of the wall leading into the city. He just stared down for a few seconds, then gave me a thumbs up, exploding into Light and Darkness.

Back at the Land of departure

All the keyblade wielders were sitting in a circle in a room at Yensids tower. We had shared our stories of Heartless battles and The Man in the Hood and were all quite confused.

"So Sora's Nobody showed up and is strong enough to defeat our Heartless, but we're not." Terra said looking at Lea who had revealed who the man was in his story. "I know he's strong, but he didn't even use a weapon. Except when he got it from the terrain."

"So he's a good fighter, much more skilled on his own than the rest of us." Ven said looking down at the model of the world's floating in front of us. "Let's hope he's on our side."

"Seems that way to me, after all he helped us." Lea said gesturing in his usual flamboyant manor. "If he wanted to he could just kill us."

"Lea's right, but we have something else to talk about." Terra interrupted pointing towards the blonde girl standing behind the rest of the group. "How are we going to train Namine?"

"I think I can handle that Terra." Yensid said walking into the room. "Now there's increased activity in the World that Never Was, get going Keyblade wielders."

This is a short, simple chapter used to set up the next one. I wanted to get through the Heartless and introduce the next part of the story. It'll be more thought out and quicker pace from this point on. Please review.
