Kingdom Hearts 3D: Vanessa's Quest

Chapter 7: Training and nightmare

Lea left, Vanessa stood outside with Master Yen Sid and the King. "Okay, to avoid getting tired from fighting your enemy with you Keyblade you can do attacks." King Mickey said and she nodded.

"Please show me the attacks." Master Yen Sid summoned a puppet heartless in front of her. Shooting Star appeared in her hand and she shouted.

"Shooting Star!" It started to sparkle and shot at the heartless. But then a whole bunch of heartless appeared. "Shooting Stars!" Many shooting stars escaped from Vanessa's beloved Keyblade and finished off the heartless. She shouted many attacks and demonstrated:

"Light!"

"Darkness!"

"Firaga Burst!"

They taught her many attacks and she shouted them out as she tried them.

"Blizzara Freeze!" (Freezes enemies)

"Thundara Storm!" (Sky turns dark and lightning strikes enemies)

"Aerora Whirlwind!" (Traps enemies in a whirlwind)

"Gravira Drop!" (Sinks them into the earth's core and they burn)

"Magnera Pull!" (Instead of running, pulling the enemy)

"Reflera Barrier!"

"That's excellent Vanessa! It's as if you're ready!" King Mickey exclaimed and she blushed at this.

After a rest and something to eat Vanessa was summoned to Master Yen Sid's room. "Did you need to talk to me?" She asked as she closed the door and he nodded. Vanessa walked up to his desk but noticed Lea leaning against the world. She raised an eyebrow and pointed at Lea. "What is he doing here again?" She asked and Lea gasped at this.

"You're rude you know that!" He growled and she smirked at this.

"No, just curious." She mumbled and he huffed at this.

"Vanessa, can I request you to train him with a keyblade as well as magic?" She looked up at him and pressed her chest.

"Me?" She asked and he nodded. She smiled at this, it would be fun!

"Yes, I don't mind!"

"Excellent." Master Yen Sid stroked his beard. "Listen to Vanessa and train hard. Here's a portal, through it will await your training. If you want to summon heartless, just summon your dark Keyblade." Vanessa held out her hand for Lea and he took it. For a moment, Vanessa turned into Xara but then turned back into Vanessa again, as they walked through the portal.


It was a plain room which was white yet spacious. "You will address me as-"

"Master Vanessa?" Her eyes widened and her eyebrow twitched.

"Um, I was going to say Vanessa or something else." She mumbled and the red haired man smirked.

"I think Master Vanessa sounds better, better than ma'am." She started to nod but paused when he said the last part.

"What? What's that supposed to mean?"

"You aren't really a ma'am type of girl if you know what I mean." She crossed her arms at this as she looked away.

"I'm deeply offended Lea!" She muttered and he smirked at this whilst scratching the back of his head nervously.

"Forgive me Master Vanessa." Vanessa looked at him and cracked her knuckles. She took a spare hairband and tied her hair really high.

"Here goes nothing!" With her Mystical Moon, she attacked him and Lea's Chakrams appeared in his hands.

"What are you doing?" He asked in haste whilst blocking her Keyblade.

"I believe that the first step of training should be sparring to prepare your defence against an enemy." She answered and swung her weapon at him. Lea looked like he was struggling in the first few minutes, but started to block and release his fire at her.

The fire surrounded her and she looked around. "I'm extremely impressed Lea." She mumbled with an amused smile but it dropped as her mouth formed a straight line. "But you have a long way to go." Vanessa raised her hand in the air. "Blizzara Freeze!" The fire around her froze into ice and she yelled, "RELEASE!" The ice shattered into smaller pieces.


After 3 hours she taught him all the magic she knew. "But what about my Keyblade?" He asked and she frowned at this.

"Yes, it is a bit strange that your Keyblade hasn't been created yet." Vanessa mumbled and looked at the ground with deep thought. Lea sighed sadly at this and she looked up. The blonde haired teen placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Hey you shouldn't be sad…" She tried to cheer him up.

"Who am I fooling? I'll never fight with a Keyblade…" Her heart ached to see Lea so sad, but it wasn't just her but Xara too.

"I bet…" A tear fell down her cheek and the green eyed man looked up at her "…that the reason why it's taking time is because you've got something special. It's taking its time so that a very powerful Keyblade could be created to suit a very powerful person." He smiled at her and wiped her tear.

"Good comes to those who wait Lea. I've been waiting for Riku for so long and look what happened. But there are other things that I'm waiting on," she thought about Ventus and frowned "but someday the thing that I care about will return as a gift for my patience."

"Thanks Master Vanessa thanks for everything you've taught me." She shook her head at this.

"No, you don't have to thank me Lea. We're friends, got that memorised?" Vanessa tapped the side of her head and he laughed at this. They returned to the Mysterious Castle and Lea went back to Radiant Garden.

"So, how was training with Lea?" King Mickey asked and she smiled.

"He's a very good fighter, with a strong heart. He's excellent at controlling the fire but he needs to consider the attacks that his enemy may do to avoid this." She replied.

"What about his Keyblade?" Donald asked and she shook her head.

"He hasn't got it yet." Master Yen Sid sighed at this with worry evident on his face.

"But don't fret Master Yen Sid; all he needs is patience and hope." She grinned at him. But something struck her mind, 'Why am I acting so…mature…responsible and…intelligent all of a sudden?' But she brushed it off.

"You are extremely optimistic Vanessa, just like Ventus." She nodded at this. Day by day she was becoming a bit more like Ven yet more different. "You may go and rest now Vanessa." Master Yen Sid dismissed and she walked back to her room. Vanessa got changed into her night dress and sat on the bed.


She dangled Ventus' gift she was given a long time ago by Phil, her silver necklace with a ruby heart and a 'V' pendant on it. Vanessa stared more into the necklace and gasped. "How could I have forgotten?" Her eyes brimmed with tears and she sniffed. "It's my birthday, I'm 17." Tears fell down her cheeks and her vision was blurry from the tears.

"It's been 1 year and 11 months with Riku not celebrating with me, 12 years without Ienzo and grandpa, 12 years without Terra, Aqua, Master Eraqus and Ven and…" She touched her heart and cried quietly, "…17 years without my parents." Vanessa hugged her knees to her chest and sobbed. "And now, I'm here on my birthday all alone."

Vanessa felt as empty as the wind. Vanessa felt as if she was facing the world and all her problems on her own, without any support and guidance now that no one was here. Vanessa felt like she was being isolated away from all the people she loved. Vanessa felt lonely and this was the first ever time she had ever felt this emotion. She closed her eyes and lied down.

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you…" In her mind she heard that voice, it was chilling, menacing and traumatic; it was Xehanort's voice. "…happy birthday dear x-blade wielder, happy birthday to you…"

Vanessa woke up with beads of sweat rolling down her forehead and panted for her life. After a few seconds she sighed with relief; it was only a nightmare. "Thank goodness, it was only a nightmare."

She turned to face the other side and closed her eyes. But then she felt something cold snake its way around her waist. They were odd, icy and they felt like arms. When she opened her eyes, through the moonlight she saw a boy's appearance.

Bright yellow eyes glowing in the dark, he looked similar to Sora, but she would say that he was a dark version. He had pale white skin, jet black hair and looked more muscular. He tried to smile at her but it ended up like a sick and twisted smirk which sent chills up and down her spine. "You and I are both the same…lonely." His voice made her gulp; so frightening.

His grip around her was now tighter and he pulled her closer and she felt like she was being strangled. "Who, who are you?" She managed to squeak and tried to sound intimidating but failed miserably.

"My name is Vanitas." He answered and he stroked her face with his right hand. Each touch broke her heart. "You're so beautiful…" He trailed off with a smirk and she shut her eyes.

"Please, stop it!" She whispered begging her to stop.

"Why should I?" Vanitas asked trying to sound innocent.

"I…" He smirked and his hand left her face but stroked her body as it returned to her waist. "…I…" She shut her eyes again and felt them water. "…I…" His knees were next to both her sides and he pinned her down.

"Shhhhh….You don't have to say another word…" He whispered and leaned closer to her. Vanessa laid there paralysed, she was unable to scream or react. She just laid there enduring all of this, unable to do anything to stop it. Vanessa kept her eyes shut enduring the kiss and what came after…


Oh no…It can't be… Please review!
