Chapter 06: The Keyblade Wielder of Souls Revealed

"Then everything went dark," finished Danny, telling his friends about the weird dream he had last night. He decided to skip the part where he almost kissed Sam, but told them everything else. "The last thing I heard was the voice saying "You have the power to protect her," and then I woke up."

"Strange," replied Sam as she stood up from the table they were eating at. They were having lunch outside today. Nobody else was outside due to the dark rain clouds in the sky, though there was not even a drizzle to be felt. "Sounds like something out of some Circle-Hard video game," added Sam, "You know, the company that makes that Final Nightmare series?"

"Yeah," replied Tucker as he went to typing in his PDA, trying to see if there was any information on these strange creatures Danny dreamt about. "There nothing here about those black creatures you described," he finally said after a long search, "not even in the Ghost Zone."

Danny sighed and replied, "What I'm wondering about is who exactly "her" is. Who am I supposed to protect?" Danny turned to his friends for an answer, but they simply shrugged.

Meanwhile, in the Ghost Zone …

A group of the few good ghosts in the Ghost Zone had gathered for a secret meeting at Pandora's Castle. They had all been summoned by Clockwork, who for some reason, refused to have this meeting take place in his tower.

"My fellow spirits of the Ghost Zone," said Clockwork as the crowd of good ghosts settled down, and as he changed into his adult form, "It seems that the prophecy of darkness is here at last." Immediately, chatter broke the crowd's silence, all of them in shock upon hearing this news. "You mean the Heartless have finally found this world?" shouted Frostbite, fear in his voice." Clockwork, now in his elder form, nodded.

Pandora quickly replied, "How are you certain of this?" Clockwork opened a portal into the living world, showing the dark clouds in the sky. He changed into his child form as he said, "As you can see, it is only a matter of time before this whole world is covered in darkness."

He changed into his adult form and added, "But that is not the only threat this world faces. It seems that seven spirits that are not from this world have seized control over the thousands of evil ghosts, as a plot to return to their worlds."

"Is that why you held the meeting here," asked Frostbite, "instead of at your tower?" Having turned into his elder form, Clockwork replied, "Yes, that is the reason. They were near it when they took control over the other ghosts."

"How where they able to convince the other ghosts to serve them?" asked Pandora, "I mean, knowing them, they would never would have agreed to serve them." Clockwork, in his child form, replied, "They have a unique ability. They can send any ghost into the dark depths of Oblivion. I saw the Box Ghost meet his end this way, at the hands of the leader of this group of seven, who call themselves The Chasers."

Shocked by hearing the news of the Box Ghost's demise, the crowd of ghosts began to chatter again, unaware that a Chaser had witnessed the entire meeting. The Chaser suddenly opened a portal and entered it.

On the other side of the Ghost Zone, in Clockwork's Tower…

A portal suddenly appeared as the Chaser from before walked out of it. The Chaser turned to Master Xehanort, who along with the other five Chasers, had waited for this Chaser to return.

"So, Yemd," spoke Master Xehanort, "what is Clockwork up to?" Yemd removed his helmet to reveal his yellow eyes and black-colored mullet, and then replied in a screechy voice, "He had no plans of attack. All he did was inform the good ghosts of our presence."

Master Xehanort smiled and replied, "Is that all? I would have expected more of him." Yemd quickly replied, "Well, there was another thing, he showed the ghosts that the Heartless have arrived in this world. He opened a portal to show that the living world had dark clouds."

Master Xehanort's smiled did not fade as he replied, "Now that explains his lack of a plan. Because of those clouds, his sight of the future is clouded." Master Xehanort's smiled then faded as he added, "But those clouds mean we might have bigger problems than before. Those clouds mean that a new Keyblade Wielder is about to receive his or her own Keyblade."

The female Chaser turned to Master Xehanort and asked, " Do you have an idea of who this new Keyblade Wielder might be, Master Xehanort?" The Chaser leader turned to her and answered, "I believe that if anyone on this pathetic world would be worthy of receiving a Keyblade, Kerrix, it would be the ghost-boy." The other Chasers nodded and agreed to their leader's suggestion.

"What would you have us do, Master Xehanort?" asked the deep voiced Chaser, bowing down to his leader. Master Xehanort turned to the Chaser and replied, "You will not need to do anything, Roxe, for I think we should send our prisoner to deal with ghost-boy."

He turned to the wall and opened a portal to reveal a man with long, spiky red hair chained up. Roxe, who happened to be the largest of the Chasers, stood up and walked to the chained man. He picked him up with great ease, and placed him on his shoulder.

"Make sure to give him his chakrams before releasing him," added Master Xehanort with a grin, "he may be a ghost like us, but he still needs them to fight." Roxe nodded as he opened a portal to the living world and entered it.

"Master Xehanort," asked a Chaser, with a voice chillingly cold, "are you sure his memory has been wiped clear?" Master Xehanort turned to the Chaser and replied, "Do not worry, Venn, everything he once had memorized is deep within his subconscious. Only someone from his past can help him remember who he once was. He is completely under our control."

Yemd turned to Venn and said, "Got it memorized, Venn?" All the Chasers, excluding Venn, laughed at Yemd's statement. Venn simply stared at Yemd and thought, "One day, Yemd, your sense of humor will be the end of you."

Back in the living world, at Amity Park Mall…

"Where the hell are we supposed to find this guy?" Riku asked out loud, as he, Sora, and Kairi walked through the mall. Sora simply shrugged, when suddenly, Kairi had an idea. She walked over to a mall employee and asked, "Excuse me, but can you tell me what day it is?"

The mall employee replied, "Today is Monday. Shouldn't you and your friends be in school?" Kairi quickly replied, " Well, you see, we are new in town, and we actually don't start school until tomorrow. But we want to go there, you know, just to check it out."

The mall employee smiled and replied, "And let me guess, you three need directions? You just need to go south on Elm Street until you get to corner of Elm Street and Crystal Lake Avenue. You take a right, and you'll be at Casper High."

Kairi smiled and replied, "Thank you, miss." The mall employee nodded and replied, "Your welcome. Oh, and welcome to Amity Park." Kairi then walked back to Sora and Riku, who immediately asked her what she was doing.

She smiled and answered, "You know how you guys got your Keyblades at an age that you should have been in school? Well, maybe the new Keyblade Wielder will be young as well, and would be in school." Riku and Sora looked at each other, then back at Kairi and said simultaneously, "Smart girl." Kairi chuckled as she skipped to the exit as her friends followed her.

Back at Casper High…

"Hey, Fen-turd! Think fast!" yelled Dash Baxter as he threw a dodge ball hard at Danny. The dodge ball connected with Danny's face hard, causing him to land hard on the gym floor. "Fenton, you're out!" yelled Mrs. Tetslaff, the P.E. teacher. Danny tried to get back up, but was hit yet again by a dodge ball, this time thrown by Kwan, Dash's best friend.

After a few more failed attempts of getting up, Danny was finally able to make it to the "out" bench. He sat next to Tucker as they both watched Sam face off alone against Dash's team.

Sam was incredibly good, having single-handly eleminated most of Dash's team. It was all down to her and Dash, after having disposed of Kwan. Dash had the dodge ball and was about to throw it, when suddenly, the whole place shook.

"What the?" said Dash, letting go of the dodge ball, which Sam quickly grabbed and threw at Dash. The ball hit Dash in the face, knocking him to the ground. "Team Manson wins!" proclaimed Mrs. Tetslaff, who did not notice the shake from before.

In fact, it seemed as if only Danny, Tucker, Sam, and Dash had noticed the shake as everyone else had for the locker rooms. Danny sunddenly saw his ghost sense go off, as he run up to Sam and Tucker and whispered, "Meet me outside." With that, Danny headed for the door, and when he made sure nobody was looking, Danny went ghost.

He went intangible and flew through the wall. Sam and Tucker, after having dressed out, meet up with each other and were about to head outside, when suddenly, the fire alarm went off. The students of Casper High filled the halls in an unorganized fashion, and ran outside, forcing Sam and Tucker to be swept along with them.

Meanwhile, a block away from the school…

"We're almost there," proclaimed Sora as he and his friends walked closer to the corner of Elm Street and Crystal Lake Avenue. "Wait," said Riku suddenly, stopping his friends. Kairi turned to him and asked, "What's wrong Riku?"

Riku didn't answer, but simply pointed to the sky. Sora and Kairi looked up to see dark clouds. The clouds looked oddly familiar, although they couldn't figure out why. "They look like," stated Sora, when suddenly he remembered, "they look exactly the same as those that night at Destiny Islands!"

Suddenly, the three teens heard a noise around them. They looked back down to find themselves surrounded by Shadows and Neo Shadows. They all got out their Keyblades and began to slash at the Heartless, Kairi taking out Heartless one-by-one, while Sora and Riku used amazing abilities to take out groups of Heartless at a time.

Sora suddenly thought of something and yelled, "Wait, if they're here, then they might also be at the school." Riku and Kairi nodded, as all three began to run towards the school, slashing at any Heartless that got in their way. Unaware of another person's presence, a man lowered his camera and said, "This is so going on YouTube."

Back at Casper High…

Danny flew over to the entrance of the school, where he found the source of the shakes. It was a man in a black cloak with long, spiky red hair, with what looked two large rings in his hands.

Danny had never seen a ghost like this before. His skin wasn't pale like the other ghosts he had fought, but nonetheless, this ghost had to be stopped. He flew toward the ghost, when suddenly, the ghost turned to Danny, and shot two fire bolts at Danny.

Right before he was hit, Danny saw the eyes of this ghost. They were blank, no emotion in them at all. Danny was hit hard by one bolt, while another hit the school, causing the school's fire alarm to go off.

Danny quickly got to his feet and shot an energy blast at the ghost, which gracefully dodged it. The ghost jumped over Danny, and shot a large fire bolt into Danny's back. Danny hit the ground hard. He turned over to look at the face of this ghost. He was preparing another attack, when suddenly, Sam's voice was heard screaming, "Danny!"

You have the power to protect her…

Just across the street from the school…

Sora and the gang crossed the street and had walked into the front of the school, when they heard a girl scream. They saw that a boy with white hair was on the ground with a figure standing over him.

Just as the figure raised his weapons, Sora ran to the aid of the boy. The figure thrusted his weapons down, when Sora had reached them and blocked that attack. As soon as he saw the attacker's face, Sora gasped. "Axel?"

Danny was prepared to go intangible, when another boy with brown, spiky hair appeared in front of him and, with some strange weapon, blocked the ghost's attack. He then heard the boy say Axel. The ghost's eyes suddenly flashed with what looked like different scenes of this ghost's past life. The ghost's eye suddenly stopped flashing as the ghost fainted and fell into the boy arms.

Suddenly, the black creatures began to appear around him, as he heard a voice from behind him yell, "Run!" He looked back to see another boy with long, silver hair and a girl with red hair run toward the creatures with weapons simular to that of the first boy's.

After Riku had yelled for the people to run, the students and staff of Casper High did not hesitate, and quickly fled, with the exception of the white-haired boy, an African-American boy, a redheaded girl, and a goth girl. Riku tried to tell them to run, when a Neo Shadow charged into him.

Danny got up to his feet and then turned to his friends and sister. As soon as his eyes rested on Sam, everything flashed.

You have the power to protect her…

When Danny received his eyesight again, he saw that the ghost from earlier was lying on the ground, and that the three other teens had been slicing through the black creatures. Danny turned to see the black creatures had begun to stalk Sam, Tucker, and Jazz.

The redheaded teen ran to over to Tucker and Jazz, and began to defend them from the black creatures. Danny turned to see that Sam was defenseless as a large group of the black creatures surround her.

You have the power to protect her…

"You got that right," thought Danny as he flew towards Sam. He landed in front of her and began to shoot blasts at the black creatures, each disappearing when hit.

All of a sudden, they backed away from Danny and Sam. Danny was confused, when suddenly, Sam screamed. He turned to find her surrounded by some sort of dark energy. "Sam!" yelled Danny as he reached out to her. He grabbed her hand and pulled himself into the darkness. Everything began to fade in darkness, as Danny whispered, "I'm here, Sam."

You have the power to protect her…until she has the power to protect herself.

The darkness faded as everything came back into view. Danny was holding Sam tightly in his arms. He let go of her, both of them blushing when he noticed something. In Sam's hand, was a weapon like the ones those other teens had.

Sora had just slashed through a Heartless when he looked over to see the white-haired boy hugging the goth girl. That was when he saw it in her hands. He then shouted to his friends, "She's the new Keyblade Wielder!"
