Aqua and Aaron come to an empty place where there is only an old anthropomorphous white duck dressed classically walking with a cane. Aqua left in the direction of the man without waiting for Aaron who let her do it.
"Excuse me!" Aqua said catching the attention of the old duck that Aaron recognized as Scrooge. "Sorry to disturb you, sir." Excused Aqua.
"Oh, how well you are. I'll be happy to help you, you know." Said Scrooge.
"I'm looking for a boy who is not from here. Would you have seen it?" Aqua asked.
"Hmm, I think I know who you're talking to. He rushed to the castle just now." Answered Scrooge, pointing to a castle.
"Thank you very much." Aqua thanked before Scrooge nodded and went on her way as Aaron arrived next to her.
Aaron says almost nothing and he and Aqua walk to the castle and face Unverseds until they arrive in stairwells, they hear a scream coming from the voice of a little girl. They ran up the stairs as quickly as possible to see a little girl with red hair and blue eyes holding a flower bouquet pursued by an Unversed.
"No! Go away!" Aaron and Aqua shouted out their Keyblades as they ran to the little girl who was stuck against a wall before the Unversed jumped to attack him.
But the little girl took the opportunity to run to Aqua and Aaron and put her hand on the Aqua Keyblade.
"I feel his light." Aqua thought as Aaron used the ability of his Keyblade to lie down to give ranged shots at the appearing Unverseds.
"There're too many. We can not fight them and watch her at the same time." Said Aaron as an Unversed ducked his attack and jumped to attack them before an anthropomorphic smile dressed in black with a Keyblade with an appearance reminiscent of a wizard's hat in a children's book only arrives and the terrace .
"Quick! You must take this girl to a safe place." Said the smile that Aaron easily recognized as Mickey.
"Who are you? Why do you have a Keyblade?" Aqua asked.
"I'll tell you later. We must first stop them!" Mickey said.
"I take care of her, you both take care of their case." Said Aaron before carrying the girl and bringing her down halfway up the stairs and doing all she could to reassure her when she was scared. "Don't worry. They will do nothing to you, my friend and the smile we are there. Okay?" Said Aaron as he had a hand resting on the girl's head and ruffled her hair for reassurance as they hear the fight unfold before he feels anything more than Aqua does not felt.
"I who didn't believe that she would have accidentally transmitted the gift of handling the Keyblade. I was wrong." Thought Aaron.
Once the sounds of the fight cease to be heard the little girl climbed the stairs followed by Aaron heading towards Mickey and Aqua. Aqua knelt down and looked at Mickey as Aaron did the same and held out a hand.
"Thank you." Say the two Keyblade masters as Mickey shook Aaron's hand.
"My name is Aqua and I am a student of Master Eraqus. And he is Aaron." Said Aqua posing as well as her boyfriend.
"Me, it's Mickey. Before, I was Yen Sid's apprentice. I came back to train with him." Mickey said introducing himself.
"I feel the light in this girl. Do you think that's why they attacked her?" Aqua asked.
"I think so, yes. In my opinion it must be someone really exceptional." Mickey answered as the little girl was amazed at what Mickey said.
"Yes, someone we are supposed to protect." Said Aaron.
"Let's team up." Mickey said before a light shone from his jacket. "No, not now! Everything will be alright ! See you soon!" Mickey said before being tossed up and flew skyward in all directions like a drunken shooting star under the dumbfounded looks of Aqua and the little girl and restraining Aaron's laughter.
"Here." The girl said, handing a bouquet of flowers to Aqua, who was slightly surprised.
"It's for me?" Aqua asked, nodding to the little girl.
"Thank you for saving me!" Said the little girl.
"Oh, they are beautiful. It's very nice." Aqua thanked, taking the flowers.
"My name is Kairi. Nice to meet you." Kairi said, introducing herself.
"Likewise. Me, it's Aqua. And here is Aaron." Aqua said pointing to Aaron who motioned to him. "Say, this light..." Said Aqua before being interrupted.
"Kairi!" Said the voice of an old woman.
"Oh! Grandma!" Kairi said.
"Kairi, wait a minute..." Aqua said before putting two fingers on his pendant that lit up for a second. "I've cast a spell. If you have trouble one day, the light in you will lead you to the light of another. Someone who will protect you." Aqua explained.
"Thank you." Kairi said before leaving for his grandmother.
"There you are. It's time to go home." Kairi's grandmother said.
"Yes!" Kairi said before turning to waving at Aaron and Aqua. "Goodbye!" She said as they waved her hand back.
"Say, grandma?" Kairi asked.
"What is it?" His grandmother asked.
"Tell me that story." Kairi asked.
"Again?" The grandmother asked with an amused laugh.
"Please!" Kairi said wanting to get his grandmother accepted.
"Okay, that's okay." Grandma said before telling her the disappearing story of Aqua and Aaron's field of vision.
"Kairi... Something tells me we did not meet her by chance." Aqua said before she and Aaron noticed an Unversed going to a specific place.
"We must have run out of catching him." Said Aaron starting to run to where the Unversed seems to be heading followed by Aqua.
"It never stops." Aqua remarked.
"No shit Sherlock." Aaron retorted.
They walk past a door that was closed but the unversed to drive in to find what looks like a roof of a factory. Where Terra and Ventus also come in from two different entries.
"It looks like we spotted the Unversed all four." Terra said as the four Keyblade carriers showed theirs as they saw three different Unversed merged into a gigantic one.
"It's not going to be easy." Said Aaron before being shown by an Unversed identical to the one formed by the three Unverseds they were pursuing. "I take care of him manage yours!" Aaron shouted before he was too far away from his two friends and his girlfriend before being dropped on the spot where he saw Scrooge.
"You want to confront me alone. Ok. But I'm not an easy opponent." Alerted by Aaron also appear of the Keyblade Aced.
The fight started and at first Aaron did not take the fight seriously knowing the Unversed's paterns and dodging every attack and gave the Unversed a powerful shot. The fight lasted a few minutes and there remains only the part serving as head to the Unversed.
"You are weaker than in my memory." Said Aaron amused before hearing a voice coming from behind the Unversed.
"Grandma. I'm afraid." Kairi's voice says as he sees her hiding behind her grandmother.
The Unversed turned around and began charging a laser beam that he intended to shoot at Kairi and his grandmother. And when he was shot Kairi and his grandmother were surprised to see that they had nothing to see Aaron in his armor before them.
"Everything okay?" Aaron asked.
"Aaron?" Kairi asked Aaron's nodding as he made Ira's Keyblade appear at Ira's location and quickly and brutally attacked the Unversed, causing it to disappear into an attack.
Once the Unversed disappeared, he removed his armor and advanced towards Kairi and his grandmother.
"Are you okay?" Aaron asked.
"Yes, thank you for saving us." Thanked Kairi's grandmother.
"It's nothing. I'm sorry, of what happened I will not have to take my time too much." Apologized Aaron.
"It's nothing." Assured Kairi's grandmother.
"Are you a hero, Aaron? Like the knights in the stories?" Asked Kairi, amazed and worried by what he did to protect her and her grandmother.
"If that's what you think, then yes." Said Aaron looking at Kairi. "And I'm sure one day you'll be too." He said, ruffling his hair. "Sorry but I have to leave." He said before running as fast as possible to where his friends' fight was going to see pensive Aqua.
"It's okay?" Aaron asked.
"Yes. I just faced the boy Maléfique was talking about. He is really powerful. I almost lost. While he had a pile of four pound under one arm." Aqua said before bending and Aaron did not help him stand up.
"We've done too much for the moment you have to rest a little. You'll tell me about him and we'll take the road afterwards?" Said Aaron guiding her to a wall where she could sit and lean over for that rest.
"Okay. Just a little rest..." Aqua said before closing her eyes and falling asleep leaving Aaron watched her and looked after any Unversed appearing around them.
