Part VII: Fight for the Light
"Here we go. Hold it out in front of you like this." Sora plants his feet apart and holds his Keyblade out in front of him. Step by step, I match his movement.
"Like this?" I turn to look at him.
"Perfect, now imagine it unlocking the door." I close my eyes and do as he says. I feel my Keyblade kick back, and I hear the unlocking sound. I open my eyes again and watch the two halves of the decorated door pull open. Beyond it lays blackness.
"What do you think's back there?" Sora's sets his Keyblade on his shoulder.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that question?" Sora laughs before he answers.
"Probably, but you know more about this world than I do."
"Not that much more." I stare into the darkness for a few moments longer. Whatever's back there…well I shouldn't think about it. I'm just going to get myself freaked out…more than I already am.
"Well, let's go then." Now, Sora seems far more serious. I nod in response, and he starts walking into the abyss with me in tow. Five steps in, the doors close and our vision is blacked out, but we keep walking. In the next steps, the edges of the blackness become filled with these nebula-like green and black clouds.
"Wha! What was that?" I search around for the source of this super loud clattering sound.
"Look, lightning." Sora points to one of the new crackles of blue lightning in the clouds in front of us. Every few seconds another bolt erupts.
"Where are we?" I search the…chamber or whatever, which is easier since I'm used to the lightning.
"There's the Keyhole." Following his finger, I look up into the clouds and a massive Keyhole is sitting in silence.
"How do we…" As I speak, a pinkish light sweeps over the Keyhole. "That can't be good."
"Not usually." Sora lowers into what I've come to find out is his fighting pose. I swing back the Keyblade, getting ready for whatever was about to happen. A pool of darkness that could consume the two of us appears and vanishes just as quick, but now in front of us is something far more frightening. "It's a Heartless!" This…Heartless looks like a man with a dog's head, but it has yellow eyes that are perfect circles. A jagged line forms the only noticeable mouth. There's a big red and black heart-shaped symbol on the front, above a brown skirt along its waist.
Sora runs forward to the beast. I follow behind him. My pulse quickens again. The rush takes over my mind and I start running on instinct. I have to watch every one of the movements this Heartless makes. They're quick and sharp, clawed hands swiping after us. The sounds of lightning have dulled against my breathing. The momentum of the Keyblade moves me. My actions become faster. I've totally lost Sora, but I can't focus on that. I think, I die. Fatigue builds, my legs start to ache. I feel a claw pass just over my head. My foot catches on itself. I fall. I have to get up…I can't wait…hurry. I scramble and get to my feet using the Keyblade. My breathing is out of control. Sweat is running into my eyes, blurring what little vision the adrenaline hadn't gotten to.
"Logan!" A voice calls from above. "Throw your Keyblade at the heart!" Sora comes running down the Heartless' arm and points at the symbol on its chest. I nod and wind back the Keyblade before flinging it toward the creature. Sora's flies to the same point. Both stab into the heart symbol. The creature clutches at its chest. Like glass, the entire monster shatters, wisps of darkness evaporate from the shards. Their Keyblades fall to the nebula-like ground. Sora lands from whatever fall he made. I walk slowly toward the Keyblades. My body doesn't want to move at this slow pace. Everything inside me wants to run. I work hard to calm my breathing, which is still coming in short gasps. My hand shaking, I pick up my Keyblade, and let the weight sink into my hand.
"We did it!" Sora's energy is somehow unchanged. He grabs his Keyblade and twirls it in the air.
"How can you…" I take a moment to breathe, "do that?"
"Practice. You'll get the hang of it." He smiles and sets the Keyblade across his shoulders. "Come on, let's seal that Keyhole." As he finishes, the pinkish barricade dissolves. Sora aims his Keyblade and jerks his head toward it. I nod and raise mine. Light gathers at their tips and shoots out into the Keyhole. With a loud locking sound, the Keyhole begins to break away and fall into the abyss beyond us. From where the Keyhole was falls a small Pyramid shaped charm. Sora picks it up before handing it to me. "Here put it on your Keyblade." I take the object from him and hook it where the Mickey symbol had been. The Keyblade changes with a flash of light. It now looks much more like those weapons the Heartless were using. It has a sharp hook at the end with smaller teeth inside the hook. Normally, I would ask what happened, but I just don't care enough.
My vision goes stark white and clears back in the room of the Pyramid. I turn around at the sound of the two stone doors closing again, and the keyhole on them vanishes in a glimmer of light. "One down, six to go! Where to next?" I'm finally able to breathe like normal.
"Let's get out of here first."
