Author: Hi, I'm back with chapter ten. Thanks for all the reviews, people. Love 'em all.

Chapter ten: First stop: Hollow Bastion.

Ria's pov

Still annoyed with the King for spying on us, Roxas and I put all of our supplies into the Gummi ship. The ship was right in Roxas' back yard. It was completely red. To me it looked like a tiny plane. There was just enough space for us and supplies.

Once inside, I found a tiny, folded piece of paper with my name on it.

I opened it and inside was a little note for me. It said:

Ria,

It is very easy to fly this ship.

Roxas will know how even if he

never did it before.

I want to tell you that

I didn't spy on you the whole time.

Only when you where on your own

because one of the Organisation

members was bound to show up

when Roxas wasn't there with you.

Have a safe trip,

King Mickey

I read the note twice just to make sure I didn't miss it wrong. It felt like something very heavy was lifted of me. I felt relieved. I put the piece of paper in my pocket, got into the passanger seat and waited for Roxas.

Finally Roxas came out of his house with another bag. He stepped into the Gummi ship, dumped the bag in the back and sat down in the pilot's seat. He looked nervous

"Do you know how to fly this thing?" He asked me.

"No, but read this note. It's from the King. He thinks you could fly this ship even if you never did before." I said, getting the piece of paper out of my pocket again and handing it to him.

Like me, he read it twice and felt very relieved after. He gave me back the paper and looked very happy about something. I didn't ask. It was probably something I didn't want to know anyway.

"You know what? I think I can fly this thing." He said, sounding very confident in himself.

Once again that scared me a little bit. I didn't really fancy dying in a crash because he was too confident with flying the ship. I really hoped the King was right and Roxas really knew how to fly the ship.

I sat down on the other seat. Roxas started the engine and acted like he was a professional.

I wonder if he was showing of. I really hated it when boys did that.

I was so tired after all that happened in one day. I decided to get some sleep. . .

Half an hour later. . .

"Ria, wake up! We're in Hollow Bastion!" Roxas said, shaking my shoulder.

"Ok, Ok! Just stop shaking me half to dead!" I said, feeling annoyed that he woke me up.'I hate when people do that' I thought.

We got out of the ship and Roxas locked it. As soon as he did it disappeared. I jumped

"Oh great! How are we gonne find that yoke next time we want to travel somewhere else?!" I said not asking anyone really.

We were in the Market district. It had lots of shops. The shop that caught my attention was the sweet one. I loved sweets. Like if someone was calling me, I walked straight into it. Roxas just stayed there. There were lots of sugary things everywhere. Piles of them. What really got to me was the chocolate.

Sweet, brown, oily chocolate! I couldn't resist, I had to buy a few bars.

I went to the counter, put the chocolate on it and got some money out of my bag.

The lady behind the counter looked at me strangely with her green eyes. She had long black hair, tied together in a ponytail.

"Hey, you're that girl King Mickey told everyone about. You know, from the prophecy.

You're Ria." She said, smiling sweetly.

I was shocked. 'Why had the King been telling people about me? Most importantly, what did he say about me?' I thought. I decided to ask the girl.

"What did the king say about me?" I said suspiciously. I really didn't want the whole town knowing about me.

"He only said you were the girl who is going to help us and that if we see you, we should tell you as much as we can about Organisation 13. I personally don't know anything about them, only that there is one member here, in Hollow Bastion causing trouble and turning people into heartless." She said, taking the bars and checking the price of them.

"That would be 3oo munny" The girl said. ( I'm going to use the currency the use in the game)

"Here." I gave her the money and took my bars. "Keep the change."

"Thank you!" she said, smiling again.

I left the shop and saw Roxas still waiting on the same spot. He looked bored. I walked over to him and gave him a bar of chocolate.

"Thanks!" He said, putting the bar into his bag.

"You're welcome. Listen, the King told all the people in this town about the prophecy and me. Everybody knows me. Even the girl in the shop knows me." I said.

"Did he mention me?" Roxas asked me.

"I don't think so. The girl in the shop didn't say anything about you but I think the other people know you anyway because you were with the Organisation once." I said to him. "Don't worry, if anyone says something stupid about you I'll answer back. You're not evil anymore." I added quickly when I saw his anxious face and smiled sweetly at him to give him some confidence.

We started walking around asking different people about the Organisation. Nobody knew anything so far. So I decided to go look for the people I knew from the game.

"Let's look for the old wizard that lives here." I said looking at Roxas who nodded. I was glad he didn't ask me how I knew about the wizard. I really wanted to avoid anymore questions about me knowing stuff that I shouldn't.

We left the Market district and went to Merlin's house which was in the Borough. I knocked at the door. I hoped Merlin didn't criticise Roxas for being evil once like some little kids did earlier on.

The door opened and a tall, old man stepped out. He had white hair and a very long beard. He wore glasses and had blue eyes. He was wearing a pointy, blue hat and a long, blue rope. I knew at once, that he knew me, by the look of him. He smiled and said

"Ria! Come in, come in! You brought Roxas as well. Marvellous." He said stepping inside the house again and waving his wand, letting two chairs appear.

Roxas and I entered the house and sat down on the two chairs Merlin made appear out of no where. Roxas looked a bit sad and I smiled again, trying to cheer him up.

The room was quite messy with spell books lying around everywhere. Everything looked old-fashioned except the high-tech computer Cid uses. There were a bed and a blackboard and a little table standing beside the left wall. On the little table was the 'Winnie the Pooh' book.

In the centre of the room was a big table with a teapot and cups on it. Roxas and I sat around it.

"Tea?" Merlin asked us holding the teapot.

Both of us nodded. Merlin poured tea in two of the cup and then sending them flying over to us with a tip of his wand.

"I believe you have come to ask me about the Organisation member causing trouble in this world." He said to us both. It didn't surprise me that Merlin was talking to us both. King Mickey probably motioned that Roxas was helping me to Merlin.

Anyway, we nodded once again.

"Well then I'm sorry to tell you I only know which number it is. I don't know where he is or what he is doing right now." He said looking disappointed in himself.

"Well that doesn't matter. What number is he?" Roxas asked him. He sounded cheerful and happy. It was probably because Merlin didn't ignore him.

"Number ten." Merlin answered.

I gave Roxas a hopeful look hoping he would know who number ten is. I also hoped it was someone exciting.

He gulped down his tea and whispered over to me.

"Let's see . . . number ten . . . That's Luxord. He fights with a deck of cards. He also has control over time. But trust me; he's weak against the Keyblade. We'll destroy him easily . . . well, the darkness in him." He said reassuringly. I did trust him but felt a bit scared and disappointed.

Luxord was still somebody dangerous even if I had the Keyblade. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life transformed into a giant card. I mean, who would?

I gulped down my tea and I told Roxas to get ready to leave.

"Well, Roxas and I better get going. We have to find that evil person." I said and got up.

"Leaving so soon? You have to come over again when you're finished sorting out the problem." He said, shaking our hands.

We left the house and made our way to the Bailey. It was time to find the 'Gambler of Faith'.

Author: Hope you liked this chapter. I hate Luxord. That is way I put him first on the list. If anyone reads this chapter and likes him, don't get mad with me.
