"Thanks for helping me out, but you don't have to follow me."

"You may not realize this, but you're not fully healed yet," she said sarcastically.

"I told you I'm-ackk!" He collapsed to the ground clutching his chest.

She helped him up, "Like I said."

"I can't waste any more time! God only knows how long I've been in that hell hole!"

"I don't know why you need to hurry, but it's not worth killing yourself over!"

"Yes it is! Only I can-," he started before he collapsed into sleep.

"Boy, he reminds me of Ichigo! Neh, Yoruichii-san?" a stuffed animal asked the woman.

"Kon, I need you to look out for him."

"Why? Where are you going?"

"I need to search the area."

"Alright, if that's what you need to do. Leave it to me!" He saluted her. She kicked off the ground into a shunpo and disappeared. He turned to the boy, seeing the bandages Yoruichii had wrapped around his torso, "You know, you're real lucky we were passin' by the precipice world weren't you kid? Because of me," He puffed up his chest, "And a little help from Yoruichii-san, you're still ali-oof!"

"Aww! He's so cute!" a girl said picking him up and hugging him.

"Oh! Are you okay, mate?" Another girl asked the boy.

"Let go of me! I can't breathe!" Kon shouted squirming out of her arms with a huff and landing in front of the boy in a defensive posture.

The girls jumped back in surprise, "Wha-what are you?" the older girl asked.

"I could ask you the same! Shinigami? Visord? Arancarr?" he narrowed his eyes.

"What are those Rani?" the younger girl asked.

"I don't know, I've never heard of them," To Kon she said, "What planet are they from?"

"You really don't know do you?" he relaxed slightly and sniffed at them, "You two are just regular humans aren't you?"

"Um, yeah..." Rani said confused.

"Do you know where we are or how we got here?"

"I know! We're in the TARDIS!" Sky said happily.

"The TARDIS!? Seriously!?" Rani said excitedly. "... Wait. How did we get here? Do you think Luke, Clyde, and Sarah Jane arrived here too?"

"I hope so."

"Me too. But more importantly is that boy alright?"

They all turned to the boy, "I don't really know... Yoruichii-san and I found him in the precipice world, half-dead, well more nearly an inch from death... He must have been in there an awful long time, he had aged into an old man, if he'd stayed there any longer he'd of turned into dust. When we got him out he reverse aged into this... But the side effects of being in the precipice world... Well anyways, we didn't even get to ask him how he got stuck in there, or even what his name is. We were transported to this place a minute or so before he woke up. And when he did he just took off saying he was looking for something, and then he collapsed," He sighed. "But what is this TARDIS?" They explained to him what it was, "A space ship!? Weird!"

"You said there was a Yoruichii here with you. Where'd they go?"

"She left to check the area. She told me to watch over him," He said proudly.

"We should be fine, the TARDIS is safe!" Rani said.

"No, Rani. Something's wrong," Sky said looking around.

"What's wrong Sky?"

"The TARDIS feels different somehow, something happened. And if we were brought here..."

"What else was...? That's not good. We need to find the Doctor and Sarah Jane!"

"But what about the boy?" Sky asked.

"We should take him with us."

"Hey, wait! I was assigned a duty!" Kon said.

"Come with us then!" Sky smiled as her and Rani slung the boy's arms over their shoulders and started walking away.

He chased after them and jumped on Sky's shoulder, "Well if this is how it's going to be, then I'll have to watch over you two as well!"

They walked down the hallway searching for anyone and found a door, they went inside to reveal a planetarium. A beautiful display of the universe was shown all around them, the stars above and beneath their feet sparkled in millions of colors like gemstones. "Whoa! This is amazing!" Kon said.

"Yeah!" The others agreed.

"But, I don't see anyone here..." Rani said.

"Rani! The exits gone!" Sky said, Rani turned to see another alignment of stars behind them but no door.

"Shoot!"

"What are we going to do!?"

"Don't panic Sky. This is still the TARDIS... No matter what's wrong with it... We just have to think; what would Sarah Jane or the Doctor do?"

"Use a sonic device? Or mum's wrist watch?"

"Yeah but we don't have either of those... Wait, duh! Mobiles!" They set the boy on the ground and she dug her mobile out of her pocket before calling Sarah Jane's number.

"Hello Rani? Are you alright!?"

"Oh thank goodness! Sarah Jane, I'm with Sky, she says we're in the TARDIS but I don't see the Doctor anywhere and somethings wrong!"

"I know I'm here too. I can't find Luke, Clyde, or the Doctor anywhere! Where are you?"

"We're in some sort of... Planetarium, I think... Listen we've got an injured boy here and we don't know how to help him."

"What happened?"

"I'm not really sure. He's unconscious."

"Well, stay right there, I'll try my best to get to you. It might take a while though, judging on how the TARDIS is behaving."

"Alright, They said their goodbyes and she hung up, "She's coming," she called Luke.

"Rani!?"

"Luke! Are you with Clyde? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, me and Clyde are just fine. Are you with mum and Sky?"

"How is she able to call us when we can't call her!?" She heard Clyde ask.

"I'm with Sky in the Planetarium, Sarah Jane's coming to us."

"Rani be careful, the TARDIS is really wack. The whole place has been changed into a video game because of Angie's laptop. It can get really dangerous. Me and Clyde got brainwashed by some Barbie dolls a-."

"Dude, don't tell her that!" she heard Clyde shout.

She laughed "Barbie dolls?"

"It can get even more dangerous! Be careful!"

The seriousness in Luke's voice made her sober, "Alright, I understand. We'll be careful."

"Good, we'll come to you."

"Alright," They said their goodbyes and she told Kon and Sky the details.

"Video game huh? That's even weirder..." Kon said. "Well, not to worry, ladies!" He puffed up his chest, "I'll protect you!"

They sat for what seemed a very long time. Kon paced back and forth rapidly, "Where's Yoruichii-san? She should be back by now..." he said plopping down.

"The TARDIS is huge Kon," Rani said.

"Still!" he said dropping down to lay on his back. He watched a shooting star in the distance. "Well, I suppose its not that bad... This place is beautiful..."

They looked up, "Yeah."

"Hello! Anyone there?" They heard someone call.

They jumped up, "Hello!" Rani called back.

"Hello! Where are you?"

"Over here!"

They saw two figures run towards them, when they got close enough they saw it was two young girls, one about Rani's age and one a bit younger than Sky. "Oh thank goodness! I thought we were gonna be lost forever!" The older girl said bending over breathless, when she looked down she saw the boy, and immediately ran to him, "Oh my god! Seichii! Are you alright!?"

"You know him!?" Kon asked.

"What's wrong with him!? Where'd you find him!?"

Kon told her the story, "By the way, my names Kon!"

"Kairi," she said.

"Eiko!" The younger girl chirped. Rani and Sky introduced themselves as well. "I can heal him," Eiko said, "Just give me a moment!" She pulled a flute out of her dress and began playing. Almost immediately a green light grew around her and transferred to Seichii, absorbing into his body. She did one more spell for good measure, and put away her flute.

A few seconds later his eyes fluttered open. He looked at Kairi dazedly and smiled, reaching his arm to touch her face, "Kara..."

Kairi put his arm down to his chest before it reached her, "No, Seichii. It's me Kairi."

"... Kairi...?" he looked around at their faces before his eyes widened, "Kara! Where's Kara!?" he shouted getting up, Kairi and the others pushed him back down immediately, with him struggling madly.

Kon jumped on his chest, "You need to rest buddy! You were in the precipice world a long time! You almost died!"

He stopped and his face paled, "A-a long time?" He turned to Kairi, "How long have we been missing!?"

"F-f-five months..." They saw the fight leave his body, before he grabbed his necklace and held it tightly. "S-Seichii? Where's Kara?"

She saw tears fall from his eyes, "Gone..." He choked out, "I-I failed her... It-its my fault! If-if I had been stronger... Faster... I could've-I could've-!" His body wracked with sobs, "Its all my fault...! Its all my fault...!"

She hugged him as tears slipped down her cheeks, "No, its not your fault..."

"Yes, it is! I should have saved her!"

"What exactly happened?" Kairi asked.

"During the battle... We got separated from Sora and the others... It was a set up. An ambush... I heard her scream... She-she-!"

"Its-its alright..." Kairi choked out.

He swallowed hard "She was on the ground unconscious. Blood-," he swallowed, "Blood covered her temple... And standing over her..." he clenched his fists in anger, "That evil witch!"

"M-Malefi-!?" Her hands flew to her mouth to catch herself before she finished the name.

"She kidnapped her, and took her to the top of Hollow Bastion. I followed and saw them performing a ritual on her,"

"Why!? Doesn't she need all of us!?" Kairi asked.

"I don't know... I-I stopped the ritual and absorbed Kara's heart into myself before they could. Then I tried to destroy the magic her and Hades used to bind her with but I failed. I got knocked into a wall by something, and before I could recover she cast a spell on me and threw me into the darkness... That's all I remember until those two found me..."

"She's-does that mean she's-..."

"You can't give up that easily!" Sky said, "She could still be alive and need your help!"

"Sky..." Rani said.

"Come on! If you give up and she's still alive then she'll be lost forever!"

"She's right!" Rani said, "You can't give up now. She needs you."

Seichii clenched his hand around his necklace, "You're right. I can't give up on her!" He looked at his necklace, rubbing his thumb over the smooth wooden surface, "There's still so much I have to tell her..." He moved to get up.

"Not so fast!" Kon said poking his stuffed arm into Seichii's chest repeatedly, "You're still too weak! If you tried to save her now, you'd die! And then who'd come to her rescue, huh?" he asked crossing his arms.

"You're right... But I've wasted too much time already."

"It's not like we can go rush off and save her right now anyways," Eiko said, "We can't find the exit..."
