Chapter 9: Deep Space

I know, I know, I'm late, but I couldn't help it. I was busy as heck! You would be too if you had as much homework as I do usually. Anyhow, enough babbling, it's time for the disclaimer!

Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts

Enjoy!

After leaving Disney Town, Ven and I ventured onto the next world on our map. This journey wasn't going to be easy, but I promised myself that once I met him again, I would protect him from Xehanort no matter what, and that's exactly what I'm going to do.

"Huh? What's that?" wondered Ventus

"What's what?" I asked

"That." Said Ventus as he pointed to something

We saw something blue, it looked a bit like a ghost, and it almost knocked us out of the sky!

"Whoa!" exclaimed Ventus

"Yikes!" I exclaimed

"Unversed!" Ventus and I exclaimed in unison

It tried to get us again, and it failed terribly. You know the old expression, 'fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me' or in this case us.

"Try that again!" exclaimed Ventus

"Yeah! We double dog dare you!" I exclaimed

We couldn't use our Keyblades in the Lanes Between, but we had our Keyblade Gliders. Those doubled as our weapons in the Lanes Between. Ven's attack would be a basic spin with his glider while my attack was a rapid succession of shots in the shape of rose petals. However, it got scared and ran away after we attacked it a few times. Talk about being a coward, right? Vanitas must be ticked at this Unversed. Not long after, a ship appeared.

"Tryin' to catch a ride, huh?" wondered Ventus

"Well, that's not gonna happen." I said

However, we lost its trail as soon as it entered the ship. We entered inside the ship we saw to look for clues and not long after we entered, an alarm sounded.

"So you're the intruders. Identify yourselves." Said a male voice

When I turned to look, I saw some kind of fish on legs with arms. Weird. Plus, it was pointing a gun at us! Not good!

"My name is Ventus." Said Ventus

"And I'm Hikari. We were chasing a monster when it boarded your ship." I said

"Nice try. If there was another intruder aboard, we'd have detected it." Said fish breath

Just then, the ship rocked as if it was from some kind of explosion.

"Intruder in the machinery bay! We lost control of the engines! I-it's some kind of monster!" exclaimed a female voice

"Now you tell me! Stay right there! I have lots of unpleasant questions to ask you two." Said fish face before he walked away

"This is our fault. We have to do something Kari!" exclaimed Ventus

"I concur." I said

Just then, some kind of creature dropped down in front of us. It was blue, had large eyes and ears, and had four arms.

"Ven…? Hi-kari… Terra… Ah-koo, wah…" said the creature

"What? You know Terra and Aqua?" asked Ventus

He then pulled out what appeared to be a Wayfinder.

"Fren… Circle!" exclaimed the creature

"Hey… Is that a Wayfinder?" I asked

Just then another explosion occurred.

"The engines are under too much stress. We're risking an explosion!" exclaimed the female

"What are we doing? There's no time!" exclaimed Ventus

We were about to leave when the creature appeared behind us.

"I'm sorry, but it's going to be too dangerous where we're going. Please, stay here. We'll come back for you, I promise." I said

We fought some minor Unversed on the way to the engine room, but sometimes we would get caught in some barriers, and there would be some Unversed blocking our way. However, just before we got to the engine room, Ven was knocked out cold by a team up of some of the Unversed.

"Ven! No!" I exclaimed

Just then, the light inside of me manifested into a move I had only read about. Faith, one of the ultimate light spells. That managed to take care of the rest of the Unversed.

"Ven, you okay?" I asked

He didn't respond to my voice.

"Come on, wake up." I said

This time, he stirred as he began to wake up.

"Ow, my head." Said Ventus

"You're alright. That's a relief. Come on, we need to hurry!" I exclaimed

"Right!" exclaimed Ventus

We finally made it to the engine room! We saw our little ghost friend floating around as usual. Well, not really our friend, but you know what I mean, right?

"End of the line!" exclaimed Ventus

"You're going down you creepy ghost!" I exclaimed

Another blast occurred, and the creature from before showed up.

"Hey! You shouldn't be here!" exclaimed Ventus

He then spoke something in his native tongue, and it clear that he was angry, but why?

"What is it?" I asked

It spoke something again, but we had to worry about the Unversed in front of us. We had some trouble fighting it, seeing that it would sometimes attach itself to the engine. Thankfully the creature helped us out, for when that happened, either Ven or I would throw him at the Unversed. When it was on its last ropes, Ven and I decided to team up to defeat it.

"Kari, quick question. Do you know the spell Faith?" asked Ventus

"You know Faith?" I asked surprised

"I'll take that as a yes. We'll finish it together." Said Ventus

"Okay." I said

We both then began to activate our spells.

"Faith!" Ventus and I exclaimed in unison

And that was the end of that Unversed, however, the creature was still mad.

"It's over! Cut it out!" exclaimed Ventus

He tried to grab it, but it pushed him back.

"Whoa!" exclaimed Ventus

It then seemed to calm down a little bit.

"What's gotten into you?" I asked

It then showed us his Wayfinder, now broken. It couldn't be fixed through normal means.

"I see… Your Wayfinder broke." Said Ventus

"Don't worry about it. Friendship's more than an object." I said

"Fren-ship… Cir… Cle?" asked the creature

Ven and I both nodded our heads.

"May I see that?" I asked

He reluctantly gave the pieces to me. I then quickly cast a repair spell returning it to its former state.

"There. Friendship may not be an object, but sometimes an object is something someone can have to remember the friends they have." I said

"Hmph, don't let the little mimic fool you. You saw for yourself what kind of monster that thing is. All it knows how to do is hurt and destroy." Said the fish-like alien

"Monster? He helped us stop the monster!" exclaimed Ventus

"You two must have triggered some kind of mutation… hidden in the little freak's genetic coding." Said the fish-like alien

"Ven. Hi-kari. Fren!" exclaimed the creature

"That's right. We are friends!" I exclaimed

"Better say your good-byes now, because 626 is about to be destroyed!" exclaimed the fish-like alien

626 then jumped onto his head.

"Stop that!" exclaimed the fish-like alien

He then was able to knock him to the floor. He then told us to follow him, at least, so I can guess.

"C'mon!" exclaimed Ventus

"Sound the alert! Prisoners are on the loose! Don't let them get away!" exclaimed the fish like alien

626 managed to get inside some kind of red smaller version of the ship we were just on. Now we were being chased like crazy!

"Where are we going?" I asked

By the look on his face, he had no idea. He then pulled a lever.

"Hyperdrive system has been activated. System charging. Warning. Guidance is not functional. Navigation failure. Do not engage hyperdrive. Repeat. Do not engage." Said a mechanical voice

"Break formation! Get clear!" exclaimed a male voice

All the other ships disappeared. Now 626 was panicking.

"What is it? What's going on?" asked Ventus

Suddenly the engines on his ship sort of sped up.

"Whoa!" exclaimed Ventus

"Yikes!" I exclaimed

"Ven! Hi-kari!" exclaimed 626

Ven and I screamed as we floated out into the abyss.

Cliffhanger! I know, I know, you didn't see that coming. Now you know how Stitch had his Wayfinder fixed in the credits of the game. Anyhow, please review, answer my poll, and until next time, I'm sakuraphoenix saying I heart you, signing off. Kan dao ni!
