Authors Note: Well hey everyone, here's chapter 8 which like I said is going to be a little different because we wont see Ray or Liam for the whole chapter. Sorry I've been slow uploading lately, I have an extremely busy life. But here it is anyway and I hope you enjoy.
Chapter Eight: Escape
Becca sat on the floor of her prison staring at the key blade she had now summoned to her. She looked at it like she had no idea what it was, when really she knew exactly what it was and what it could do. She lifted it into the air and pointed it at one of the walls of her cell. The wall was completely made of light and was very hot, but Becca still made her way towards it. She held the key tightly in front of her and it created a hole in wall. She walked through finding herself in a room in which not much had changed.
The new room was just a long corridor. It was made from the same thing, as the cell was, pure light. Apart from the difference in size to the rooms the only other differences were that at the end of the corridor was a giant silver door and at the other end was the dark portal Becca had seen earlier. In the dark portal Becca could see another girl but she seemed to not notice Becca looking at her from the other side.
Becca screamed into the portal, hoping that this other girl would notice her. "Hello are you ok in there, can you hear me".
There was no answer so Becca leaned further into the portal. "Hello".
Again there was no answer so Becca leaned in even further until she felt as if she was right next to her. That was because she was, Becca had fallen through the dark portal and was now standing on the other side looking back into the room she had just come from.
Becca looked down at the girl in front of her. "Come on you got to wake up, please".
Becca looked at the key she held in her hand. It was made completely from silver. The handle and hand guard was a deeper shade of it but was still silver in itself. The blade and key point looked very much like Sora's Oathkeeper but it's silver colour made it shine even when she was standing in a room of total darkness. She held out the key and pointed it at the girl sitting in front of her.
"What was that spell Sora used to heal himself and his friends? Come on think. Was it Cura!"
A green light shone above the girl but nothing happened. Sitting down on the floor confused and alone Becca tried to think of Ray but the link between them was almost lost. She couldn't even picture him in her mind.
Becca stood up getting ready to move when she felt something grab her leg. She looked down only to see a hand. The girl that she had healed had finally woken up. Becca looked down at her as the girl tried to form words.
"Tha…nk, you".
"Don't worry I saw you were alone and just like my…. friend would do. I came to help you".
Finally the other girl was able to speak properly. "Thank you so much, I could feel the days passing by but I was unable to move, unable to escape. How did you escape"?
"Im not sure I was in a cell just like this but it was made of light but how I escaped I don't know. I was unable to move one second and the next I felt like someone had pulled out a piece of my heart but I could stand up but most of all I could summon this".
Becca pointed at her key blade.
"What! You have one too, how?"
"What do you mean too, you have one?"
The other girl held out her hand and summoned the key blade immediately it was exactly the same as Becca's but it was made of gold instead. She held it out and the cell wall collapsed like it did for Becca. They looked out but it was pitch black.
The other girl looked confused. "How are we meant to get out of here when we can't see a thing".
"How about we go back through the portal I came through. At least we can see where were going then. But it is very bright in there".
"Oh ok let's go and get out of here. I don't want to wait around for long".
"Good idea, I'm Becca by the way".
"Im Elysia, nice to meet you".
The two girls walked through the portal and appeared back in the hallway that Becca had come from. They both looked to the other end at the large door.
"You weren't lying when you said it was bright here".
"Yea I know but then again I suppose its just because you have been in the dark for so long".
Elysia agreed but was still rubbing her eyes trying to adjust to the light. Becca looked at her trying to think of a way to help.
"Here look at this".
"I would if I could see anything". Said Elysia jokingly.
Becca had found an empty, open cell where she had found a pile of old black trench coats.
"I remember these, they were used to travel through the realm of darkness by the organization when Sora was around. Maybe they can help us now".
"What are you on about"? Elysia looked confused.
"Sorry it's just a story my friend told me. But we can use these coats, find one that fits you".
The two girls searched the pile looking for one that might fit them. They kept searching but all Becca could think of was why these coats were here in the first place. They had been used in the Realm of Darkness but this world was definitely light. Then she realized, the coats were here because who ever had imprisoned her in the first place needed a way of traveling all over the worlds. So they used the coats as a way of protecting themselves.
Finally Becca and Elysia found a coat that they could wear. They both put it on but the black coat began to change colour. It turned into whatever the colour of their key blade was. Becca's turned silver while Elysia's turned gold.
"Wow this is subtle". Said Becca laughing.
"Yea I suppose it is". Both girls started laughing almost like they hadn't laughed in months.
They both walked over to the door now ready to face whatever was on the other side. The coat had a hood that went over most of the girls' faces, which now let them see where they were going. Becca could now see exactly what Elysia looked like. She had very long brown hair and sky blue eyes. She wasn't a very tall or fat person and was quite short.
Now looking at the door in front of them neither was sure what to do.
"Um any idea". Said Becca confused.
"You know these key blades we have are also a key as well so you would think they could open a door right". Becca nodded.
"Yea lets try at least".
Both girls pointed their key blades at the door and a beam of light came from them. The door suddenly opened revealing a large hall in front of them with stairs in the far corner going up. They both walked into the center of the room and looked around.
Becca looked to Elysia for help. "Any idea's, I suppose our best bet is too head up".
"Yea lets go with that".
They both made their way to the steps but were stopped by a flash of light ahead of them. One of the Pure Light Soldiers appeared. He was holding the long katana and pointed it straight at the girls. "Im sorry but we don't allow visitors in this tower. Im afraid I'm going to have to show you the way out".
"That would be great". Said both girls at the same time.
"Then in that case let me show you my blade".
He jumped in the air and in one slash was able to knock both girls into the air. They summoned their key blades and were ready for his next attack. But it never came; in fact he just stood there looking at them.
Becca started to shout. "What's your problem, you can't just attack people whenever you like".
"Oh can't I. are you sure about that".
He attacked again but this time squarely focused on hitting Becca. Elysia jumped in the way knocking away his blade and hitting him multiple times in the chest.
"Come on Becca, let's show this fool what we can do".
The Soldier looked up. Your name's Becca, shouldn't you be in your cell, and then he noticed she was holding the key blade. Oh that explains everything, who knew you both could wield the key blade".
"What gibberish as you on about". Becca charged at the soldier with the key blade in hand and smashed it into him before he could make a move. He went flying across the room but disappeared in a flash before seconds later reappearing regaining his balance and his katana in his hand.
Becca tried again this time dodging his attacks and countering whenever she could. "You know it's a good thing that Ray taught me how to wield a blade. Not a brilliant date but funny none the less". She started laughing to herself.
"Yes laugh now my dear but soon I shall end it".
Now Elysia had stepped in. "Oh yea I'd love to see you try". She ran in and did the same a Becca had originally. Once again they caught him off guard and he fell to the ground. Stepping over him Becca held out her key and tried another spell that she had remembered. "Fira".
A burst of fire shot from the end of her key blade smacking into the Soldier with extreme force and heat. He lay there unconscious and hurt.
"Come on Becca let's get out of here".
"Not until I get some answers".
"No! Lets use this time to escape".
"Ok, your right come on lets go".
Both girls ran for the stairs. They kept going up steps unsure when the next floor would come. They finally reached a new floor that looked like some sort of grand hall.
Elysia started to wonder where they should go. "If we were in the dungeon and this is some sort of Grand hall then our best bet is too stay on this floor to try to find the main door".
"Ok". Answered Becca.
They both wandered around very slowly and quietly in order to try to avoid any more trouble. They both had no luck in finding the way out.
Becca had an idea. "Maybe we can use the key blade to help us find a way out".
"I don't think it works like that".
Becca lifted her key into the air and a ball of darkness appeared at the end. It started to float down a long hallway, which neither of the girls had looked down yet.
"Um I think that's our way out".
"So you were right, ok then maybe it does work like that".
They both ran towards the door but Becca was shocked to see something. Stabbed into the door were seven key blades. Sora's, Riku's, Kairi's, Mickey's, Aqua's, Terra's and Ven's.
"Their here, this is where they are. Ray was looking for this place and now I'm just leaving. Come on we have to go back and find the old Key wielders".
"No Becca we can't we have to move".
"Why, if we free the key wielders then me and Ray can go home".
"Yea but first you have to find him, maybe once you find him you both can come back here but now we have to go".
"No! I'm going to do what Ray had to for him".
"You can't now anyway".
"Why not?"
"Because of them".
Elysia pointed towards the three Soldiers standing in the middle of the grand hall unaware of their presence.
"You can't turn back now, come back another time. When your ready".
"Ok come on".
The three girls stepped outside and looked around. The outside believe it or not was impossibly brighter than the inside. The sky and the earth blended into one, it seemed as if there was no sky or earth in this realm, only the pure light.
"Now where". Said Becca confused.
"I suppose we keep walking".
The two girls walked for hours but were unable to find a way of leaving the realm. They continued to walk but it felt as if they were having the energy drained right from them.
"So tired, where do we go". Elysia was ready to collapse.
"I don't know we just got to keep go….". Becca couldn't finish as she hit the ground with a thud.
Elysia soon followed and both girls were out cold. They were both hours away from the tower and there was no escape or entrance to the realm of pure light. They were completely alone.
Then a dark portal opened up directly under the girls and they fell through. They appeared in a world that had changed so many times in the past years. Once it was called The Land of Departure, then it became Castle Oblivion and then finally it was renamed after Sora found Ven, Terra and Aqua. It once again became The Land of Departure and it once again became a place to train key blade masters and give them the equipment needed to survive outside the world. Now Becca and Elysia lay on the doorstep of the world and were about to find out more secrets than they could ever imagine.
