Kairi turned around and waved back. Why in Gods name was she here? That was the only thought that I had in my head when she turned around. Gyarodos tried to give us a smooth landing but just as we landed, we jumped off and a big huge flash of thunder shocked Gyarodos and fainted. I returned Gyarodos to its Pokeball. Lugia landed rather hard. I returned it to its Pokeball as well. Kairi ran to us but Rod, Smith and Brady were so confused.

Kairi looked at me and gave me a hug. "Who the heck are you?" Smith asked.

"This is Kairi. She is from the Kingdom Hearts world." I said with a grin.

"Oh." Smith, Brady and Rod said at once.

"Lets get out of the storm!" Brady yelled. We all followed Kairi into the forest. Deep in the forest, we all took a breather and looked around at the scenery. It was dark and gloomy. It had a mix of depression and darkness. I looked at everyone and they could feel that something was wrong. I sensed that in all of them the depression that I had. I had already had the depression so it didn't affect me. The storm started to get worse. I also sensed the horrible memories in each of their heads. The darkness was brining bad memories forth. I knew that Kairi and I had to find a way to get them out of it. I couldn't think of a way.

Tremour either started snapping out of it or he was used to it. Either way, he started to glow a bright white. It surrounded him and everyone else. In a flash, the light got bigger and then faded into the storm. Everyone blinked a few times and looked around. Kairi and I sighed in relief. They were all back to normal.

Everyone relaxed. They had almost did what I did. Tremour used a light spell to eliminate the darkness. Their depression faded. I turned to Kairi, "What ARE you doing here?" I asked her.

She replied, "I just heard of this place in a story my mom told me and I wanted to see if it was true."

"How could you have withstood the depression that the island was giving off?" Rod asked Kairi.

"I almost did fall for it. But I believed in my friends and what I wanted. I wanted to come here to find Sora and Riku. I couldn't give up and if I did I would probably never see them again." Kairi said in reply. We all looked at her and they looked at each other and felt so stupid that they could have fell for such ignorant power. We had then all realized that we were not as strong as we all thought. Kairi was very strong at heart. I knew that we had a while to go before we reached the temple so we headed on our way to the temple.

The world was in the palm of our hands and we hardly even knew it. I knew that what was ahead of us was going to be so dangerous but there was really nothing that we could have done about it except fight to find the Keyblade Master. I had no idea what to expect. Our kind are not the calm kind. We knew darn well that the world was coming to an end and everyone knew that we would all get tested. We just only knew that darkness was coming and it was getting stronger. I knew that the Keyblade Master was near, like he or she was closer than we thought. I could sense something around the corner and when I would get close it would go away. I knew that it is following us. But why wouldn't it come out. It seemed that we were its targets but yet I felt that it wanted to help us. I didn't really know what to make of it.

I spread my wings out and I flew to the skies in hope of finding the temple. I looked around and I could hardly see because it was so dark. The lightning was the only thing that was giving off light. I flew back down where everyone was waiting for me. I shook my head, no, I couldn't see it. The only thing we knew at that point was that the temple was at the very center of the island. Brady pulled out his compass and the arrow was spinning in circles.

"It's like we are in the Bermuda Triangle." He said as he put his compass away. We all knew what he was talking about. We all just looked down. How are we going to find it now? At the corner of my eye, however, I saw Rod grinning. I looked at him directly and squinted at him. He looked at me with such great confidence. I had no idea what he was thinking. Everyone saw him grinning too so they became very confused. He decided to speak up, "You guys have obviously not been paying attention. This place is nothing but one, big, huge illusion. I saw that when I saw the compass was spinning but I thought you guys would have caught on. We are actually standing in a big huge arena and we are about to fight a big huge heartless and its coming."

"How can you be so confident and know that we are in a big arena?" Kairi asks. We all looked at him.

"Because." He looked up at everyone, "This heartless is one that I have already fought and defeated so I know exactly how to beat it." His grin was still in place. We all did not understand and nor did we believe him. Kairi, for some unknown reason, believed him.

"I think I know which one you are talking about. There is a legend about it. They say it can create illusions and make you feel like you're in some sort of confusion. I wasn't sure if it really existed but I guess we're about to find out about that." Kairi said pointing to the sky. We all looked up and saw a light beaming through the clouds and we all looked at Rod.

"Told ya!" He said with a big grin. The light was blinding and we couldn't see. Soon, we were blinded by the light. When our eyes came back into focus, we were standing in a big huge arena. "Hate to tell you but . . . I really told you so!" The floor started to rumble and we all fell off our feet and onto our butts. We all looked up and saw a big huge heartless.

It looked like the big heartless that Sora had to fight except its "hair" was swirly like they were trying to hypnotize you and instead of a heart on its stomach that you can see through, it was a spiral that you could not see through. It was one of those hypnotizing spirals. The heartless came down to the ground so hard that we fell back down when attempting to get up. I looked up and saw that the heartless had no expression in its eyes. Its eyes were glowing a bright yellow. We summoned our blades and such. I looked at its eyes and noticed it was concentrating on one thing, Destiny Blade.

Kairi had no way of protection. I would have to protect her. Meanwhile, the rest of us had to fight it without getting hypnotized and confused. Brady pulled out his compass and noticed that it was pointing at the huge five story heartless. That was probably why the compass was spinning in the first place.

"That must be the reason that the compass flipped out. The heartless must have some sort of magnetic field around it." Brady said to us all. There were heartless everywhere in the stands. They were cheering or at least it looked like it. It was silent and the only thing we could hear was the sound of our breaths and the sound of our blades, and yes the sound of our voice but you get the point.

The heartless were very silent. There were all sorts of heartless, the big and the small, fat and tall. The arena was huge with heartless everywhere. It was like a big huge black ring that went around the arena. Silence was a main element and that element was very strong. It gave me shivers. I look at Rod and he was waving at the heartless. I guess he thought that the heartless are cheering for us. I slap my head. "They're not going to cheer for us you dope! They're cheering for the heartless!" Rod looks at me in confusion.

"Quit lying to me!" He said and waved at the heartless again. I sighed a big sigh. "What ignorance," I thought. I looked at the heartless and saw that it was ready to attack! I turned to Rod and pushed him out the way just in time! The huge heartless attacked with a hypno spell and it almost got hit! I smack Rod on the back of the head.

How are we going to beat this thing? I looked at Rod and he looked at me. He headed straight for the heartless. He brought forth his gun blade and charged with all his might. He gave one big huge swing at the most unusual part of its body, its tail. He went around the heartless to its back side and took careful aim. The heartless knew what was coming and used its tail as its weapon and knocked Rod one and he went flying hitting an invisible wall. Rod was very high in the air and Tremour caught him just in time.

"Nice work on that haste technique." Rod said with a grin.

"Think nothing of it." Tremour replied. "So you have battled this thing before but what is it doing back?"

"It was left over from someone's pain but I am not sure who's." Rod explained. "Only the person this thing is from can destroy it." The rest of us looked at the thing and we all knew now how to defend against it. Sweat was on all our faces and we barely even got to fight. It must be another mind trick. I knew that it was after the Destiny Blade. I took a few steps forward realizing what I had to do to defeat this thing. The problem was how to keep it still. I had a plan. I sent a mind message to everyone what it was. Tremour and Rod however begged differently. They used haste and came right next to me.

"You are not doing a such thing!" Tremour said. "You could get killed!" He grabbed a hold of my hand and wished I didn't have to. There may be another way but I currently couldn't think of anything. Rod looked at me and noticed I was gripping Destiny Blade very tightly with Forbidden in my other hand.

"It wants Destiny Blade." I said. "We could use it as a decoy. If you have a better plan tell me now." He looked at me and he turned around. He tried to cast slow on the huge heartless but it had no effect. The creature was speeding up to a black smear. It was a smear when it moved. I couldn't see it at all. What was it doing?

It went behind us and we had no time to react. It launched a huge psychic blast that got bigger the closer it got to us! It hit us with great force and we all felt that we were being torn apart atom by atom. We then went back to normal and we felt rather weak. Our breath was heavy. Sweat was on every ones faces. I look around to check on everyone and notice Kairi lying on the floor. I limped my way to her and checked on her. She had just passed out and she was very tired. I tried to pick her up and I had a hard time carrying her on my back. I had to find a way to protect her. If she died then it could destroy the balance between worlds. Kairi wasn't meant to die here. She was meant to die according to the game. I had to find a way.

Brady and Smith checked on Rod and Tremour. They were both very dizzy. It seemed that Brady and Smith were stronger mentally because of them being older which explained why Kairi passed out. She was younger than the rest of us. So she was less "immune" to the attack. I tried to lead Rod and Tremour to the edge of the ring so Brady and Smith could take care of it. All of us stood in exhaustion and I knew that we could not help in the fight against the huge heartless. Brady and Smith had a job to do. I was right when I said it was after Destiny Blade cause the heartless kept attacking me. I put everyone in danger and I couldn't do that so I put Kairi down and I headed for the other side of the ring. I stayed near the edge of the ring. The fight that Smith and Brady were about to pull off was amazing. They put everything they had into this fight. They saved our lives.

Brady and Smith were the least likely characters to save someone's life but they pulled it off with great expertise. They were not that great at hand to hand combat and being that they were blade masters . . . this was going to get interesting. They pretty much had no idea how to beat this thing and they may have to use Destiny Blade as a decoy. I was exhausted. What was I supposed to do? Keys couldn't be used by a Blade Master. They would have to use something else, but what?

Brady and Smith looked at each other and realized they would have to work together harder than they have ever before. They looked up at the big huge Hypnoheartless, it's what we decided to call it, and they felt very nervous. I made it to the other side and sat down to rest. I watched them, out of breath, and I started to regain some strength but not enough to fight. I look at Rod and Tremour and I felt the sense of pain from them. Whatever it was, it was strong, but I also felt a great deal of light that was much stronger than the pain. It grew inside them and they became strong but their bodies were exhausted. Smith and Brady were both very much the same. They headed straight for the Hypnoheartless and their might became too strong for there own bodies but they managed to hold out. They had their blades for battle. Their hearts were strong and they both were one. There might were much more. They had no choice but to put themselves in front of us. Rod had battled it before but it had learned a few other tricks up its sleeve.

They headed straight for the heartless in full charge. It felt like time itself had stopped for a split second. Then time resumed as usual and they started their battle. Suddenly Smith gained great speed. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I looked to Rod and Tremour and they had casted Haste on him. Brady then started to gain great speed. They shot quickly at the heartless as if they were being shot from a gun. They shot in bursts, attacking the head at first and then the tail and then going back to the head again. They started mixing up attacks and sent fake attacks. They started to also fly. They had wings but you couldn't see them. You could tell they were there because it had the distortion that a grill had . . . the heat escaping from the grill, that exact distortion. They did not scream or shout when they attacked they became silence itself. They also started to jump on certain parts of its body like they were stepping stones, jumping from leg to shoulder to back to wherever they were. They were like gymnasts, very nimble gymnasts. These other abilities were not of a blade master. The best blade master could never pull any of this off. This was power of something else, like a . . . key master.
