Chapter 10

The concert stadium doors were opened to a huge crowd from outside, screaming and holding up posters of Lenne. Sora and Tidus make their way through the crowd to grab seats.

Lights of blue, green, and pink flashed above, setting the stage around the stadium walls bouncing off the seats. In the middle of the stadium arena, a huge pink disk was staged and started to glow. Sora and Tidus wowed in amazement of the brilliant colors and gave each other a high five.

"Hey…SORA!"

Sora turned around from his seat and in the back of him was Riku and Kairi. Sora gave a slight smile at them both and returned to watching the concert.

Kairi bit her lip and turned to Riku, concerned at Sora's reaction.

"Lenne! Lenne! Lenne!"

The crowd cheered.

Suddenly the room became dark, no noise or sound was heard from the audience, but a light drum tap was heard in the back.

Tap...tap…a-tap…

A pink light beacon was shined upon Sakura flowers that drifted softly into the audience laps and Lenne stepped out upon the stage holding her microphone. Her performance clothing was beautiful, adorned with indigo ruffled sleeves, a dark blue ruffled top, a blackened lace skirt, long gold earrings, and tan knee high boots. The crowd cheered the songstress' name once more as the pink beacon revealed her dark shadow. She smiled softly at the audience and began with her original song, 1000 Words.

"I know that you're hiding things
using gentle words to shelter me
your words were like a dream
but dreams could never fool me
not that easily…"

She waved at her fans as they waved back and took a step back continuing,

"I acted so distant then
didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
you fight your battles far from me
far too easily

Save your tears cause I'll come back
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain when I turn back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart…"

She turned to the side of the stadium and motioned someone to come out from the dark outer part of the pink light.

"Oh a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
Crossing over the time
And distance holding you
Suspended on silver wings
And a thousand words
One thousand confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever…"

Cambria sung as she walked across the stage in a sleek songstress periwinkle dress and sienna feathers that decorated her heels. She glittered into the bright pink light, as her sparkling blonde hair whipped to the sound of the music flowing within her soul. Lenne grabbed her hand as they finished the song on stage.

Sora gazed at Cambria's beauty and started clapping with Tidus and the audience.

The lights turned to a pale blue as Cambria smiled to the audience,

"Thank you Spira and the town of Luca for the chance to be able to sing with Lenne. It is an honor singing 1000 Words in front of you all and I hope that the song touched your hearts as much as it touched mine."

Cambria wiped small tears running from her face as Lenne put a hand on her back.

"Hello Spira!"

The crowd cheers as Lenne laughs and continues,

"I am very proud to be here in Spira as well. This concert is not only a chance of rebirth, but a chance for those to reconnect their hearts and save their souls in happiness…"

"Oh no!"

A Nova shadow and two Dusks appear on stage attempting to attack Cambria and Lenne. The crowd yells in horror and begins banging on the exit doors. With no luck, they are trapped within the stadium.

"It can't be…"

Sora froze in his tracks, looking at the enemies from afar.

"I gotta get in there!"

Sora's voice yells through the crowd as he tries to approach the stage. Tidus runs up to him and grabs his shoulder,

"Sora! You need your key blade man before anything!"

Sora quickly checks his hands nervously.

No Key blade? What am I gonna do?

"Help!"

Cambria cries from stage as a Dusk scratch her arm with its pointed hand. Sora clenches his fist as the crowd's noise become silent to his ears…

Here let me help out

A voice murmured from Sora's heart. Suddenly, a bright light warmed Sora's chest. Sora placed his hand over his heart, and closed his eyes.

Roxas appeared in front of Sora.

"Roxas!"

Roxas smiled and took out his Oblivion and Oath Keeper Key blades.

"Use the Oath Keeper for now, we'll talk later!"

Sora nodded and turned to Tidus.

"We'll be back!"

Tidus high fived Sora and ran towards the crowd trying to locate his other class mates.

Sora and Roxas plunged through the people, heading close to the stage to defeat their familiar enemies.

Sora directed Lenne and Cambria to run, while Roxas held off the Nova Shadow. Sora jumped in and the battle was on.

The Nobodies surrounded Sora and try to attack him.

"Thunder!"

Sora cried out as the Nobodies backed away, bruised from the attack. Roxas slashed his key blade through the Nova Shadow's stomach, emitting dark ooze into the air. The Nova Shadow healed itself, and became stronger.

"Wha…"

Roxas was puzzled and repeated the attack again, letting his swing come in stronger. The Nova Shadow healed itself again, twice.

The Nova Shadow and Dusks swiftly surround Sora and Roxas, ready to attack.

"Yahhh!"

Riku appears on stage and takes out his Way to the Dawn key blade attacking them with an upward slash.

Riku turns around swiftly to Sora and Roxas,

"You okay?"

Sora and Roxas nod, then aide him back in battle finishing the enemies off with a combo attack. The enemies ashes smoke into thin air, leaving nothing behind.

The stadium doors open as the crowd rushes through the doors, looking for help upon the premises.

Sora scans the crowd seats and looks to Riku,

"Where's Kairi?"

"Sora! Riku!"

Kairi runs on stage and hugs Sora while tears run down her face. Sora pulls Kairi close to him, and runs his fingers through her hair.

Flashback

It's my lucky charm, be sure to bring it back to me!

I will

Don't ever forget: wherever you go, I'm always with you.

Sora shakes his spiky hair out of his face, as Kairi looks up and stares into his eyes,

"I…I thought the nobodies…heartless…were gone."

Kairi muffles her head back into Sora's chest as Sora's eyes soften towards her.

Riku stares at Kairi, wanting to comfort her, but something inside told him not to. He loved Kairi, and as much as he is her boyfriend, maybe he should let things go between each other…

"Sora, I need to tell you some information about the letter the king sent to you."

Roxas made the key blades disappear.

"Oh.."

Sora stared at his right hand, and then placed it on Kairi's waist again.

"What about the letter?"

Roxas' eyes went cold as he sighed and regained composure.

"Remember when the letter said, "Save one, save all, save two and you will be presented with a different crew. Help defeat darkness once again, or the story will continue again and again…""

Riku arched his eyebrow then crossed his arms, leaning back against the wall as Sora and Kairi nodded.

"There was also a part I believe you guys missed…something important."

Roxas held out the letter.

"This is just a memory of Sora looking at the letter. Kind of similar to a copy. While he was viewing the letter along with you guys, he closed it real fast and forgot one last part."

Sora broke his embrace from Kairi and viewed the letter carefully:

"Save one, save all, save two and you will be presented with a different crew. Help defeat darkness once again, or the story will continue again and again…""

You must find Terra, Aqua, and Ven. Free the others linked to you, and they will be free from their suffering, it is an important task to do.
