Okay, here is chapter 11! Bye! (gone)


Kokoro gave out a yelp of pain as the man came over and grabbed her by the face, slamming her into a lamp post. The wonderful cobble stone street was wrecking under their feet and the people had left, fleeing for their lives. Dust from the fight lingered in the air and many windows were broken, those seemed to be his favorite thing to throw people through. He let go of Kokoro, her falling to the ground, still holding onto the Keyblades. Momo just got up, she was in bad shape too. Her arm looked injured and her Reiki was on the opposite side of the battle field. She pulled out her kitana while charging at the giant of a man. He turned to her and grabbed the sword, using it to pull her close to him. Momo didn't let go in time and met the end of his fist, then was also thrown right next to Kokoro. The duel blader wiped the blood from her cut lip, breathing heavily and looking up at the man. "This sucks..."

Momo went onto her hands and knees, not looking up but also very tired. "You're telling me..." Both jumped out of the way when he punched the ground. This seemed to be a normal attack. When the hulk of a being punched the ground a ripple effect went through the earth; creating a wave of earth energy and blowing up anything in its path. Momo found this out the hard way, not moving away in time caused the injury to her arm. Luckily when she moved she got closer to Reiki, taking it and using the giant weapon as support. "Now what?"

"Thinking..." Kokoro stood up, staggering at first. Her ankle was in pain, probably from the bad landing during that last dodge. The man turned to Kokoro and started his heavy footsteps towards her. "Think... what is earth weak against... what is it... why when I need to know I forget!" She yelled at herself as the man punched the ground again. Kokoro just looked as the ripple started under the earth, then the yellow energy started to show beneath the loose cobble stones. She saw as the light came under her, then remembered. "That's it!" The pillar of earth energy came up directly under her, making Momo shoot up her gaze at her friend. When the light vanished she tried to find Kokoro, but she wasn't around. Momo looked up, finally finding her friend. "Wind is opposite to earth!" She yelled, high in the air due to her air power. Even though it was a weak spell, she started to feel the fatigue. Kokoro shook it out of her head, letting her Keyblades vanish and forming an orb in her hands. As she fell she tried to concentrate her powers to wind, the one element she couldn't really understand. No later did she throw it with all she had. The orb went at the man, who couldn't move away from it. Kokoro landed before it hit him and ran over to Momo. She knelt next to her friend and slammed her hand against the ground, creating a wall of earth. Kokoro closed her eyes as the blast caused a strong gust to go everywhere, it had made contact. When the effects of the orb vanished so did the wall. Kokoro examined to see if anything was left of the man, or even if anything was left of this little spot of the city. She was now very tired and breathing as if she had run the mile. She looked to the left and right, no one was there. It looked like they had won. "That's it... we-" Her triumph was cut short when the man came up to them, out of the ground, and picked up Kokoro by the neck. She held onto his arm, trying to get him to let go.

Momo stood up and slammed the Reiki into his free arm, his left. "Put her down!" She ordered. The man just looked at Momo and punched her to the side, finally knocking her out as she hit the stone side of the bakery. Kokoro closed her eyes, she couldn't breath. Slowly her life slipped away and she couldn't do anything about it. Kokoro started to become limp, her grip loosening, a tear rolling down her face.

"Let her go!" Sora yelled running in with his Kingdom Key. He attacking the man on the right arm, then cast ice on it. The giant looked down at Sora, then dropped Kokoro.

She fell down, her hand on the red neck and coughing for any air. "Kokoro!" Aki ran up to her friend. "Hey, are you okay?"

"I-" She stopped talking, it hurt a lot. Kokoro finally looked up at the worried Aki and smiled. "I'm fine... just need some air that's all." She laughed a bit, standing up. Sora was now loosing to the mammoth, breaking a wooden bench by falling on it. "Sora!" Kokoro formed Yin and Yang again, running into battle. Aki took her wrist before she could run off. Kokoro looked back at Aki, upset. "He's the element! I have to fight him!"

"Not how you are." Aki spoke in an order. Kokoro, for the first time, didn't feel the same friendly emotion from Aki. She pulled her hand free, but kept looking deep into Aki's eyes. "You used a strong spell, your body is weak."

Kokoro looking into her eyes, they seemed more shadowed then normal. "Aki, I have to." She started off to the fight, took one last look back at Aki, then ran after the element stranger. Aki pulled out her sword and looked at Kokoro, then also started into the battle.

Mark ran over to check on Momo by the bakery. "Hey, Momo wake up." He lifted her up a bit and shook her shoulders. Momo started to moan, which made Mark smile. "Good, you're okay."

"Okay?" Momo opened her eyes and looked at him. "My head feels like a cracked egg..."

"That's what happens when-" Mark stopped when a Keyblade, a blue one with a black gem, landed and was stuck to the ground next to them. Both looked to the battle. Kokoro was trying another spell while Aki and Sora got the man's attention. "She looks weak..."

Momo got back to her feet, picking up her Reiki. "She is weak. Another spell won't do anyone any good at all." She started out but Mark took her Reiki away, then took some metallic powder from his pocket. "What are you doing!"

"I am called the Fusing Alchemist." He said. He lay the Reiki down and made a small alchemy symbol on it with the metal powder, then slammed both hands onto the weapon. In an instance of light the Reiki was bigger, rimmed with a metal blade, and ready for another go. He picked it up, being heavier then before, and started towards the enemy. "Kokoro! Don't use another spell!" She stopped charging the small green orb and looked at her name being called. Sora was again knocked back by the monster and Aki stood aside, waiting for an order. "Charge Reiki with it!" Mark commanded.

Kokoro looked at the new weapon and agreed. "I get it." She made a smaller orb of green energy and threw it at Mark, who in turn put the Reiki in the way so it was now powered up. He threw it into the man, who finally gave a yell of pain. Kokoro stood and watched as the spinning Reiki was going into the man, almost splitting him in two. Momo ran up to Mark and pat him on the back, he deserved his alchemy rights. Edward came running in a little late, but helped Sora up and both also looked at the man. Kokoro took a step forward in anger, the man tried to stop the Reiki. He held it back with his hands attmepted to try and stop it. "No... no don't do that..." She whispered to herself. The giant finally stopped the Reiki, and threw it back at Mark and Momo. "Duck guys!" Kokoro yelled, Mark pulled both of them down and the Reiki went over them, stopping by going into the wall of the bakery in which it turned back to normal. Kokoro tried to get to them, to make sure they were all right, but the man ran over to her and knocked her to the ground, now she lost her other Keyblade. It had spun out of her hand and out of reach, towards no one. Sora tried to come over but Edward held him back.

"It won't work. By the looks of it this guy won't get hurt by anything." Edward told Sora. The Keyblade Master looked at the State Alchemist. "You have to think of something else!"

"What else is there?" Sora questioned, but then though of it. Her keyblades. One was to lock hearts and the other to unlock hearts, if his were unlocked then maybe...? "Momo! Give her Yang!" He yelled over to the girl.

She looked at Sora, then at the earth giant trying to chock Kokoro on the ground again. She got up and ran to Yang, then threw it to Kokoro. She looked as the dagger slid in next to her. While trying to hold off his arm she reached over to grab the small Keyblade. Kokoro finally got the weapon in reach and held it firmly in her hand, then looked up at the man. She drove it into the man's chest, right into his heart. The large man stopped strangling her and let go of her neck, but still hovered his hands over her it. Kokoro still held onto the Keyblade with both hands, but looked at where it was inserted. There was no blood. Kokoro let go of the Keyblade and crawled out from under the man, never getting back up. He stood up and changed into a yellow light, then turned into orbs and vanished. The Keyblade fell to the ground and everyone was silent, looking at where he stood. "Did I... miss something?"

"What just happened?" Edward looked at Sora, who was glanced back at him. Both then smiled and turned to Kokoro. "You did it!"

Kokoro stood up and turned to them, giving a thumbs up. She picked up Yang and walked over to Yin, picking that one up as well. She then turned to Aki and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Just fine." Aki put her sword back and went over to Kokoro. "How about you? You don't look so good."

"If you don't count that I feel like crap and wanna just collapse right now, I'm not doing so bad." Kokoro tried to joke, the Keyblades vanishing without her consent. She looked down at her hands as they turned into light and left, then at Sora. He also held out his right hand, his Keyblade was going away too. "What's happening?" She called over to him. Sora shook his head at her and said nothing, he just shrugged his shoulders. "What's going on!" Kokoro yelled out, then it came to her again. The same exact pain that came to her head when the Heartless attacked her home world. It took over her mind again and the scream of the planet screeched into her ears. Kokoro put her hands over her ears, trying to make it stop. "No... no not again!"

Aki just stared at Kokoro as Momo ran up to her. "Hey, Kokoro snap out of it." She tried to touch Kokoro's shoulder, but the one in pain moved back. Momo didn't try again, Kokoro just kept taking steps backwards. "What's wrong with her?" She turned to everyone, wanting an answer.

"The element, you stopped me. Now I can't control it any longer." The deep voice, almost like a growl, rolled by. Everyone stood ready for a battle, but none came. Kokoro fell to her knees, crying out in pain, when a wolf came by. He was white with blue markings on his fur, and his eyes were the elemental yellow. The wolf walked up to Kokoro and licked her face, calming her down a bit. "She can't stop the pain, the element is out of control. It's up to you to help her." He looked at Aki and Momo. "I told you I didn't want to be used, and this is why. Now you must stop the element on its own, I no longer control it."

Momo looked back at Aki, who spoke. "But we need the elemental relics. If you were one then we would need you."

"I am one, the relic of earth." He spoke, everyone looked in shock. "Yes, the relics are living, breathing beings. When you unlocked my heart you let the element loose. Now you have to claim it back and lock it inside of me, then you can use me... as you please." The wolf looked at Kokoro again, who seemed calmer but was still in a lot of pain. "Hurry, she can't take it for long." He turned to Sora and nodded. "When the element is loose it is wild, meaning that it will be in its natural disaster form. Find the heart of the tremor, and you will find the element at its core."

Sora stood up right and nodded, "Got it. Watch her." He then started to run off where his heart led him, believing that was the right way. Momo and Aki followed without hesitation while Edward and Mark stayed behind with Kokoro and the wolf.

"Make it stop... make it stop!" Kokoro yelled out, wanting it all to just end. The wolf nudged her with his nose, making her look up with yellow eyes. "Fenrir... make it stop..."

"I can't my lady." He lay his head on her shoulder, still softly nudging her with his nose. "You must believe in your friends now. They are the only ones who can help you."

Kokoro looked at Fenrir, the wolf, then at Edward and Mark. "I... no!" The scream came again and she covered her ears. "Please... hurry..." She muttered.

Mark knelt down next to his friend and looked at her back, under her jacket there seemed to be an orange light coming from her back, as if from her shoulder blades. He looked up at Edward but didn't say a word. The blonde boy just gave one more glance down as they got dimmer, showing that Kokoro was losing the battle with her elemental pain.
