Alright chapter 10 is up and rolling. Finally reaching my second fic in the double digits feels really good. When this was just an idea I thought I would totally never findthe time to write it, but no need to go into monologing. Also Werehog21 I couldn't find a copy of Princess Mononoke so would it be okay if I put that idea on hiatus well at least until I find a faster running computer to watch it online. Well enjoy and review.

Heir of Darkness

Chapter X: The Jadded Heart

World: Land of Dragons

Up in the rocky mountains of China, the Fullmetal Alchemist was out cold on the ground. His eye's began to flutter open slowly. He moaned trying to rise to his feet. He felt a soft weight on his back holding him down. When pushing it off he realized that it was Kairi still knocked out from that crazy vortex they had been in. Resting her down gently he stood up to take in the view.

He headed towards a slope and looked over then realizing he was on a mountain. "This is crazy!" he yelled. He remember that they had been in Hollow Bastion and were coming to Sora and Riku's aid. And then when the attackers tried to retreat he had followed Sora and the others into the portal. "Where have these psychos taken us to? And where is everyone else?."

Looking over to a unconsious Kairi he sighed. Once again he had been separated from everyone else and was stuck in some unknown place. "Just my luck."

Kairi was begining to stir. "Sora!" she yelled jumping up. She was sweating as if she had just had a terrible nightmare.

Ed ran over to her. "Kairi, are you alright? Your not hurt are you?"

Kairi finally seemed to notice that they were the only two. "I'm fine, but where are we? And where's everyone else?"

"I'm not so sure. We went through that portal so we could be anywhere now. Come on we should start moving I don't like this place." Ed helped Kairi up to her feet. "Besides being in this snow will get us sick pretty quick. We don't have the proper clothing for this enviorment, let's move."

Kairi nodded. They began to move down the mountain and soon came to destroyed camp. "It looks like the damage down here was a while back." Kairi whispered. "I still don't like this place it seems creepy."

"Creepy? I'd day that it is more natural to this world than creepy. You should be used to warfare by now Kairi, since you have a Keyblade your life revolves around pain and ruin now. Its a given." Melody appeared in leaning on the outer gate poloshing her nails. "Its your fault were stuck here anyway. If that idoit boyfriend of yours never tackled Bishop into the portal I wouldn't be stuck with you idoits. He disrupted the flow of our destination. And until I find a proper path back home I afraid I'll have to deal with you fools. The technology here is so out dated it'll be hard to locate a proper path home."

Kairi summoned her Keyblade. "Where is Sora and the others!?"

Melody shrugged. "Beats me, they could be anywhere on this tiny planet or one million light years away for all I know. Just thought I tell you guys it'd would be wise not to use force against the locals, they can get quite hostile to someone their not familiar with. The heartless lurking around and all I wouldn't blame them."

"You probably cause of them on this world." Ed growled.

"Wasn't me this time short stuff, but let me ask you. Have you seen Bishop around anywhere?" she asked scratching the back if her head. "I haven't seen him since that little incident. I can't sense his presense anywhere." she murmured actually sounding a little worried.

"NO!" Kairi yelled running to attack Melody.

Melody snapped her fingers and three big body heartless appeared to guard her. "No need to get violent. I was just asking you a question."

Kairi and and Ed seemed completely confused at Melody sudden mood change. Only a few hours ago she was trying to kill Kairi. "We don't have time to deal with you. Your hjolding us back." Ed muttered walking past Melody. "We have to find the others."

"Good luck." Melody mused as Kairi strided past her as well. Once the two were out of sight a wicked grin crept onto her face. "Fools." she walked through the demolished camp until she came across a cave. Entering with the heartless ready to die for her. Coming into the spirtual room the candles burned brightly never dying out. She approached each one and blew it out. "Maleficent has her own agenda, but so do I. Bishop doesn't seem to understand that we can do this on our own. We can bring everyone back without her. She fears the Keyblade more than anything else."

Melody summoned her Keyblade and pointed it at the shrine idol. "If killing others is the cost of my goal then it shall be." her eyes flared a sharpened violet. Darkness from all corners of the cave began to pile forming a human. Its bright yellow eyes struck at Melody making her smile even more wickedly. It took shape and soon became the deceased Shan Yu. "Your attempt at becoming emperor was so foolish. You ran into the palace without any proper plan or backup, but to kill any who stood in your way. Sora, Mulan, Donald, and Goofy didn't even consider you that much of a threat. You were defeated within mere minutes and your legacy in flames."

Shan Yu began to growl in anger. "The Keblade."

"Keyblade." Melody sneered. "That is everyones excuse! Maleficent was defeated with the Keyblade because she undersetimated her opponent! Sora is nothing without his friends, it is not that bloody Keyblade?!" breathing deeply she tried to control her anger. "Sora and the other Keybladers are weak. They expect others to always be there for them...even Bishop, but not me."

She pointed her Keyblade to Shan Yu's face. "You will do my biding, you are now my servant, my slave. Find and kill Mulan and then you may be crowned Emperor. But if you fail and somehow manage to survive, just know that I will hunt you down myself and slay you. Good luck and don't fail me." Melody smiled as she left the cave.

Shan Yu was left alone. His hands glowered a dark purple which made him laugh maniacly. Whatever knew power he held Mulan stood no chance.

In the outer woods Al stood alone and feared for all of his friends. "What am I going to do? Nii-san, Sora, Kairi!"

"Urghh, can you keep it down. My head is pounding." came a voice from inside his armor.

"Wha...who's there?" Al knocked on his armor.

A Gullwing telported from out of his armor and revealed herself to be Rikku. "Whats up!" she smiled, giving a peace sign.

"What are you doing here?" was Al's first words.

"Oh so that's how it is, no Rikku its so good to see you? Just a what are you doing here." Rikku crossed her arms. "If you really want to know I decided that instead of being stuck in Hollow Bastion, where hardly anything interesting ever happens that I would just stow away in your armor."

"Um...okay." Al said, scratching the back of his head. "We have to find the others."

"Right...I wonder were they could be?" Rikku sat on Al's shoulder. "They could be anywhere."

"Stay where you are!?" a sword was pointed to the back of Al's neck. "What are you doing here don't you know this area of the woods is restricted to civilians?"

To Al, it sounded like a woman. "I'm sorry, I didn't know."

The woman removed the blade from his neck. "You sound like a kid. You know you shouldn't be walking around these parts it could be very dangerous." Al turned around to look at the smiling face of Mulan. "Hello, I'm Mulan."

"I'm Alphonse and this is Rikku." he said, pointing the the bubbly Gullwing.

"Mulan." Rikku jumped up flying within inches of her face. "I know you!! Sora, Donald, and Goofy told me about you. That you guys fought that Hun leader together and stopped that heartless dragon. He says that your one of the good guys."

"Sora, Donald, Goofy?" Mulan looked around. "Where are they?"

They both shrugged. "Were looking for him, and the others. We were fighting these two Dark Keybladers than Sora chased them through a portal and we followed. And then we just ended up here."

Mulan put her sword away and smiled. "Well any friend of Sora's is a friend of mine. I was searching for a masked assailant that was heard to be causing trouble for the towns people. But if Sora and the others are out here I could help you look for them as well. Though it would be wise to take you to the Emperor first."

"Okay." Al said following Mulan.

"Pst!" Rikku whispered into his ear. "I think it would be wise not to tell her that you know about the armor thing. She might get all freaked out and call you a witch or something."

"Your a talking fairy I think your scenario is worse." Al joked as they trailed through the bamboo forest.

"I'm glad Sora, Donald, and Goofy have returned. There have been so many heartless attacking the city that its almost unbearable. Not to mention that Emporer has fallen into a deep illness. It won't be long until he joins our ancestors and Shang will take the throne. But with Sora, Donald, and Goofy's help we can cleanse the city to its true beauty again." Mulan fantasized.

"Dreams of a foolish girl." a hooded man appeared from behind the bamboo. "Fantasys that will never go into fruitation. Sora can longer follow the path of light. His heart is jadded by the darkness."

"You don't know Sora!" Rikku defended, her friend.

"I know the Greed he holds in his heart! One that everyone holds. His bloodlust is unmatchable when he's in heartless form it will lead to his destruction." the man rasped. "Sora is turning into a heartless slowly, day by day."

In a dark abyss Sora stood alone. "Riku!! Kairi!!"

Looking around he saw not one glimmer of light. Trying his hardest he couldn't summon the Keyblade. Sora did the only thing he could do he ran. Until he saw a white door. Grabbing a hold of the handle Sora pulled only to fail. It was locked...there was no way out.

"Sora." someone whispered his name. "You, don't remember me do you?" said the man unveiling his hood. Vexen stood before him. "I'm still perplexed how a brat like you made even the Superior seem so weak. How you and your friends defeated the Organization is beyond me."

"Who are you!?" Sora called trying to summon his Keyblade.

Vexen laughed. "Roxas you fool!"

Sora winced when hearing his Nobody's name. "My name is Sora!"

"Sora or Roxas, there is no difference. You are falling into darkness boy, you could not live with the burden forever. Though the Seventh Princess of Heart, Kairi, returned you to Sora darkness still lives within your heart." Vexen pointed towards Sora's heart. "And you have no control over it."

"What? That isn't true the Keyblade would never follow anyone on the path of darkness." Sora objected.

"Denial!" Vexen countered. "Bishop and Melody have no problem opening there hearts to true darkness. They have yet to see the true cost of surendering their souls to darkness. And soon when their corupted and turned into heartless their Nobodies will be soldiers within our ranks. Soldiers that won't betray our Superior. And when the time comes for you to lose your heart again Sora, you can guarantee that I will be the one to insure that Roxas is eliminated."

Sora was speechless, was everything that Vexen was telling him true or was this all just a lie?

"The reason you cannot summon your Keyblade Sora is because at this very moment you are not in control. Your heartless is! You are on a violent rampage right now, hurting anyone who is near you. Stealing precious hearts to our glorious Kingdom." Vexen smirked. "Now then Sora if you truly are a Master Keyblader you will survive this ordeal. But if you don't, you can be sure I'll be on the otherside ready to eliminate you! So let me challenge you. Sora, savior of the worlds vs Vexen, the Chilly Academic!!"

"A challenge." Sora grunted. "You expect me to fight you?"

Vexen shook his head. He took out a pocket watch. "I will give you one hour. If you are not returned to you human form by then I will eliminate you without hesitation. If you win then I reveal to you who I really am."

Sora gritted his teeth. "Let's do this."

I hope you guys liked the chapter. Not that much action , but pretty much a filler. Next chapter will focus around mostly Organization XIII, Homunculi, and Maleficent and her minions. Maybe a little Pete as well. So make sure you review! As of rone more thing I was actually thinking about managing two fics at once. I seriously want to post a Love Hina fic. But then I think I'd neglect this fic. So just a heads up I'm most likely going to post up another fic in a week or two. Just to see if I can manage two at once.
