I'm back again! I decided to update fast because so many of you reviewed last chapter and I wanted to show how much that means to me. I'll also update later today to balance out how short this chapter will be thanks to this world being so short. Anyways, thanks to Guest (yeah I know the whole Sora/Kairi slight hinted romance is important in KH1 so because neither Roxas, Xion or Namine will exist then then it'll still be the same. KH2 is when it all changes.), Boo's Castle (okay and yes it's true, you're really sweet!), KikiXocluvr (thanks so much it means a lot and I love your story The Other Light of the X-blade! It's what gave me this idea in the first place so thank you!), Antex-The Legendary Zoroark (sorry but those aren't correct but I'll try to find a way to get the pairings you want. Roxas/Kairi can work somewhat, Riku/Namine is easier but Sora/Xion will be hard but I'll try my best!) and Miyu Mizuki for reviewing/following/favoring along with all 650 readers! If you guys like this story be sure to check out my other KH stories, All the Pieces, Before the Islands, Right Here and Light of Hope, which is a crossover between KH and FF7. Oh and don't forget to vote if you want me to change the pairings to Roxas/Kairi, Sora/Xion or Namine and Riku/Namine or Xion.

Ven: Come on, Wolfie, let's get started.

Me: I'm going Ven, calm down! Enjoy!


Shaylee and Ven were flying through the Lanes Between when something flew past them.

"Huh?" Ven gasped before he saw the person clearly, "Him again!" Shaylee glared at the masked boy.

"This doesn't seem good." Shaylee muttered.

"Come on, Shay," Ven said, "let's follow him!" Shaylee nodded and the two zoomed after the boy.


The two ended up on a desert world. Shaylee looked around as she recognized the Keyblade Graveyard. The two flew a distance before they removed their armour and glider. They fell out of the sky and looked around.

"Where's he hiding?" Ven asked. Shaylee turned around and gasped,

"Ven!" Ven turned and gasped when he saw the boy.

"Alright!" He said, "What did you mean about Terra being a different person?"

"Exactly what I said, idiot." The boy, oh what the heck Shaylee thought, Vanitas, said as he walked forward, "The Terra you know will be gone forever."

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" Ven cried.

"Terra won't willingly give himself up!" Shaylee added, "He'll fight to be himself!"

"Stupid, or true." Vanitas said. He held his hand out and in a flash of darkness, Void Gear appeared.

"A Keyblade?" Ven gasped. Shaylee just growled at the boy. Ven summoned Wayword Wind and took a battle stance as did Vanitas while Shaylee slowly summoned Unity of Hearts.

"Good." Vanitas said, "Let's see what you're made of."

"Leave him alone!" Shaylee shouted.

"Hmph, you're just like him." Vanitas said, "You make a perfect couple."

"Leave Shaylee alone!" Ven shouted as he ran forward and attacked Vanitas. Said masked boy retaliated quickly, sending Ven back slightly.

"Ven!" Shaylee cried. Vanitas scoffed,

"If he can't even land a hit on me, what chance do you have?" Shaylee growled. She hated Vanitas almost as much as she hated Xehanort. But he was right. She couldn't beat him yet but she did have one hidden attack left. Taking a deep breath, Shaylee closed her eyes and allowed her last special attack to activate. Orange colored light surrounded the girl and Kingdom Key's teeth as she glared at Vanitas.

"Sora's Dawn!" She shouted before she raced forward. With the extra power, Shaylee was able to lock blades with Vanitas before she spun around and struck him. Orange light struck Vanitas as Kingdom Key's teeth struck him. Orange light began to shoot out from all directions before it went up from where Vanitas stood and Shaylee ran forward, using his moment of weakness to perform Sora's Final Form attack Final Strike. Once the attack was finished, Shaylee fell to the ground, weak. Ven ran forward and attacked Vanitas with everything he had. Sadly, Vanitas launched Ven back and he landed beside Shaylee.

"You okay?" Ven asked Shaylee weakly. Shaylee nodded as her strength returned to her, almost fully. She crawled up beside Ven and put her hands on his back, as he was unconcious.

"That really all you got?" Vanitas asked as he walked forward, "Man, you are worthless."

"Leave him alone!" Shaylee shouted.

"Like you can do anything, girlie." Vanitas said, before he turned to Ven and continued, "I'd be going against the Master's orders, but so what? As far as I'm concerned, your job here is done." Vanitas held up Void Gear and darkness formed there that he threw at the two.

"No!" Shaylee shouted as the darkness zoomed towards the two when she felt something. The brunette blinked when she saw Mickey in front of her.

"Don't worry! You're safe." He said before he summoned Star Seeker and cried, "Heal!" Green light surrounded Ven and he looked up. Shaylee smiled slightly,

"You alright?" He nodded. "Good." Then she summoned Unity of Hearts and stood beside Mickey as he faced Vanitas.

"Tell me where you got that!" Mickey demanded Vanitas, "Keyblades are not something you use just to bully somebody around! Here I'll show ya!"

"We both will!" Ven added. Mickey looked over as Ven stood beside him.

"Forgetting someone?" Shaylee asked as she stood on Mickey's other side. Mickey and Ven nodded at her and the trio prepared for battle. Ven ran forward and slashed at Vanitas. Distracted, the masked boy was unaware of Mickey and Shaylee sneaking up behind him until they shouted in unison,

"Thunder!" Lightning struck Vanitas but he struck back, hitting Shaylee in the stomach. The girl cried out before she cast Aero, both protecting herself and sending Vanitas into range of Ven's Tornado and Mickey's Pearl. Shaylee activated her Shotlock, Pure Way. Light flowed around her and star shaped orbs surrounded her before they attacked Vanitas at random angles before raining down on him repeatedly as she spun in graceful spins similar to Aqua's in her own Shotlock, Lightbloom. Vanitas swayed slightly as the Shotlock ended, giving Mickey and Ven an opening to attack him repeatedly before Hope, Faith and Holy were cast in unison, defeating him. The trio stood above Vanitas as he layed on the ground. Suddenly, he jumped up. The Keyblade wielders gasped and prepared for battle again.

"Hmph, you win." Vanitas said. A Dark Corridor then appeared behind him and before he left, he said, "Consider yourself on probation." He then backed up into the corridor and disappeared. Ven and Shaylee banished their Keyblades.

"Probation for what?" Ven asked looking at Shaylee.

"I can't tell you." Shaylee whispered. The two then turned to Mickey.

"Thanks for before, I owe ya." Ven smiled, "The name's Ventus and she's Shaylee. What's yours?"

"I'm Mickey." The mouse smiled.

"Uh, Mickey," Shaylee said, "I need to tell you something." The next few minutes were spent with Shaylee explaining her story to Mickey.

"Wow." Mickey gasped, "So you know what's gonna happen?"

"Yeah, would you mind not telling anyone?" Shaylee asked.

"Don't worry, Shay." Mickey smiled, "Your secret's safe with me." Shaylee smiled her gratitude.

"I see you've got a Keyblade." Ven pointed out.

"Yep." Mickey nodded, "I've been trainin' under the great Yen Sid." As Mickey banished Star Seeker, he continued, "He found out the worlds are in trouble an' I sorta took off without tellin' him."

"Well, that makes three of us." Ven smiled, "We ran off too."

"All I hafta do is think it, and the Star Shard will take me anywhere I wanna go." Mickey explained, "At least I thought it would. I haven't quite got the fine points down like...when or where...it just kinda kicks in whenever it wants to. But I wouldn't have met you two if it hadn't brought me here."

"And we would have been toast." Shaylee added. Ven laughed.

"Ya know, it might not be an accident." Mickey said, "Maybe it starts workin' cause it's reactin' to somethin'." Suddenly, the Star Shard glowed brightly and everything faded.


I was grateful for Mickey showing up when he did. If he hadn't, Ven and I would have been toast, literally! I'm beginning to see why Vanitas is hated so much, I want to hurt him so badly, just for hurting Ven. I've wanted to since I played Birth By Sleep the first time and I always cheer when it comes down to Ven and Aqua's battles with him cause I got to kick his butt. Now all that's left is to make it through 7 more worlds and to not have my heart broken completely. Let's hope I can do it.


There's the chapter! I will be updating again later today so be sure to review fast! And now we know the last of Shaylee's special attacks and she will be getting four more at this game's end so be sure to guess. Don't forget to vote if Shaylee should change the pairings and if they should become Roxas/Kairi, Sora/Xion or Namine and Riku/Namine or Xion.

Ven: Review to give Wolfie a smile! See you later!

Me: I do not like this.
