Kingdom Hearts: Power Unknown Chapter 7! This is going to be good! I plan to add something particularly nasty for Sora! (I also plan to have a certain blond-haired-kid make a special appearance!) Please Enjoy, tis' no greater joy to me, than to know you liked my work... even if I don't own anything pertaining to Kingdom Hearts...

(A/N: go to .com and look up 'Sora' or 'Drive Form' and you'll get all the information you could possibly want!)

Sora: "Ah quit your whining and get on with it!"

Me: "Do you really want me to take away your brand-new Sync Blade Ability?"

Sora: "NO!

Meanwhile back in Radient Garden:


I opened my door and scrambled in. I slammed it and put my back to it.

Kairi had nearly convinced me to spend the night in HER ROOM!

I escorted her to her door, I kissed her goodnight, she decided to ask, "Sora... would you spend the night in my room tonight? For all we know, Yuffie may try something on me after I fall asleep."

I froze as the request sank into my skull. She wants me... to sleep in her room? Nah, I must've heard wrong... didn't I?

She cocked her head an said again, "Will you sleep in my room?" I chuckled nervously

"Umm... I can't... I-I have a... A COLD!" I shouted the last two words and blushed, I turned on my heel and sped down the hall to my room.

Now you know the details... I don't want to place myself in a situation where control over my own body will belong to her.

I sighed and trudged to my bed. I turned and fell onto the matress like a ton of bricks.

I stared at the ceiling in complete and utter misery... How am I going to resolve the situation with Yuffie?

Yuffie... I don't think I want to see her face to face again... God only knows what she's planning now.

I sat up and looked out the window, night had blanketed the world like a thick black wool blanket. I stared out into the darkness...

I felt a strange pressure on my mind... I projected all of my attention to it, it was strange... yes... strange indeed.

Come to...me...Sora...Your power..is...required...

i felt a strong tug from inside my skull, I panicked and thrashed on my bed.

Fight it not...you are merely being transported...

I squeezed my eyes shut and gasped, the pain was so intense, I gripped the blankets for dear life, seeking somekind of relief.

The pain stopped... so suddenly in fact... that I don't remember... what? Where am I?

You have come...at last

I opened my eyes, I was in the Station of Awakening... I looked from side to side, trying to make some sort of sense of all this.

I summoned my Keyblade and yelled, "STOP TOYING WITH ME!"

A deep chuckle echoed in the monsterous expanse of darkness surrounding me, I peered into the gloom. I gasped and summoned my other Keyblade, "XEHANORT!" I charged the black cloaked figure, just as my Keyblade was about to connect with his shrouded skull... he dissapeared.

I whirled around and yelled, "SHOW YOURSELF!"

Calm thyself...for I am not he...the one you know as Xehanort has returned to his true form...

I looked up, "Now what's that supposed to mean?"

A figure clothed in a white version of the Organization XIII cloak stepped into existence directly in front of me.

"Greetings young one." He raised his hand and made a fist. To my utter surprise a Keyblade appeared, but not just any Keyblade... Oathkeeper.

The Keyblade that Kairi gave to me... "THAT KEYBLADE BELINGS TO ME!" I lunged. The figure side stepped me and said in an emotionally neutral voice, "I am not your enemy, I am here to guide you."

I hit the floor and rolled to the edge of the stained glass pillar that was the floor. I stood and demanded, "Then tell me why I keep having these LUDICROUS DREAMS!"

The figure lifted his hands to his hood. I gasped... It was Roxas...

"I know what you are thinking Sora... I am not Roxas... I am known as Ventus, Keyblade Apprentice.

He lifted his Keyblade and transmuted it into a grey-green Keyblade... it looked odd, the shaft was bent slightly, the grip was located on the side of the blade, and the 'teeth' were fanned out like a bird's wing.

"I am part of you... though that was not always so... I was used by my old teacher, Master Xehanort. He separated me from the darkness in my heart to use in creating an ancient Keyblade capable of destroying the worlds, one by one." He smiled

"I fought with my own darkness and gave up my heart to destroy this Keyblade, The X-Blade." He stepped forward and placed his hand palm first over my heart, "My fragmented heart reached out to you, and I becam a part of you... That unfortunately, it the only reason why you can use the Keyblade..."

He looked at the floor like he was ashamed to say that, "Your Nobody, Roxas... is my representation in the realm of light."

I gave him a questioning look. He smiled and stood, "I am here to tell you this: The time is almost here... the time when you will fight the most powerful force of darkness that Kingdom Hearts has ever seen."

I nodded, "I'm ready!" He grinned and shook his head slowly, "No, you are not."

He unzipped his cloak and let it fall to the floor. Underneath he was wearing some sort of armor... I have to admit, it was the coolest thing I've ever seen.

"You must first prove yourself worthy to use all of my own abilities." He held his Keyblade perpendicular to the ground and said, "Fight me, win and I will give you all of my power, Lose and I will take something of yours that you value above all things."

My body assumed my battle stance, I transmuted my Keyblades into Roxas' favorites, Oathkeeper and Oblivion.

Ven jumped into the air swinging his Keyblade (Wayward Wind) in a half-circle, yelling, "ZERO GRAVIGA!" The ground seemed to drop out from under my feet, and I was dragged bodily into the air upside down. I threw Oblvion like a hatchet yelling, "COUNTER!" Oblivion buried itself deeply into the Station's floor, a sphere of yellow light expanded from it completely despelling Ventus' Gravity spell. Twisting as I fell, I jerked Oblivion out of the ground and faced Ven. Ven flipped a few times and landed on one knee, "Excellent counter spell... I must say, we might be evenly matched when it comes to magic... But how are your hand-to-hand skills?" He asked casually.

He closed the gap between us using Quick Run. I crossed my Keyblades in front of me, stopping his attack, "Nice reaction speed... but you need to work on your technique." He shoved on my crossed blades sending me flying backwards.

I pressed my left hand to the ground and somersaulted into a standing position, "You need to learn to predict your opponent's moves, if you keep fighting like this, I'll have you beaten in no time." He grinned. I pulled a small watch-like device from my pocket (King Mickey asked Master Yen Sid to make this for me, it taps into my magic to calculate how much Drive Energy I have left.) I glanced at the screen... Good, just under seven bars, more than enough to end this.

I straightened and said, "Let's finish this." I threw my head back and roared, "VALOR FORM!"

My vision darkened and turned blood-red. I could feel the raw energy soaking into my bones, up my muscles and into the deepest recesses of my mind. I bent forward as the post-transformation euphoria faded, leaving my bright red fleur-de-lis encrusted uniform, "Ready?" I asked grinning maniacally.

Ven's eyebrows lifted in mock surprise, "Very nice... but can you keep up with this?" He held his keyblade level with the ground and yelled, "SPEED RAVE!" He charged forward swinging his Keyblade in circles and arcs around his body giving his body the appearance of a silver whirlwind. I ran forward and started swinging in every direction I could mamage with out breaking my wirst... up, down, left, right, down, thrust, uppercut, slash, down, stab, thrust, block... I could feel the constant build up of strain as my muscles tensed.

Ven stopped swinging and backflipped several feet from me. He stood and gazed at me, "Yes... I thought you had something hidden from me... Your control over your Drive transformations has increased exponentially." He opened his hand to allow Wayward Wind to dissipate into the air.

He placed his hand on his chest and bowed, "I concede defeat... Yours is definitely the greater skill."

I relaxed slightly and released the flow of magic, my clothing flashed and cracked, flying from my body like broken glass.

Oathkeeper and Oblivion dissipated into white and black flames respectively, "I won?" Ven smiled and nodded, "I was not aware that you had been training so hard... you have more than surpassed my expectations."

I frowned, "Well THAT wasn't much of a challenge..." Ven chuckled, "I knew that I had lost when you activated Valor Form. If you had chosen Final Form, you would have slain me with out even having to move... due to Final Form's Automatic Retaliation Ability."

"So what happens now?" I asked slowly. Ven shrugged, "I know not... I expect that you will visit King Mickey tomorrow... When you do, be sure to ask if he remembers Terra..." I cocked my head, "Terra?" Ven shook his head, "You will learn eventually."

I looked around as my vision glared white...

... And I woke lying on my bed.
