We had all taken a good breather as Smith took a good look at the new blades, I mean keys. Brady checked on everyone to make sure that we were all in good condition. Smith stood up and had a serious look and very confused.
"Do you think . . . " Smith started, "that everyone has the ability to become Key Master?... That it is just a stepping stone to something else?" Brady stood up and put his hand on his shoulder.
"It does make sense, you guys are living proof of that theory." Rod said.
'I wonder if I will become a Key Master someday?' Tremour thought while looking at me. Kairi noticed our backpacks and supplies sitting not too far away and she walked to them. She attempted to pick up all of the stuff but it was too heavy. Brady walked over to help her out. All my pokeballs must have gotten transported into the backpack when we got transported to the arena.
Tremour knew that it would take a little while before I would wake up . . . or at least he thought I would take a while. He decided to see what time it was.
"Hey Smitty! ... What time is it?" Tremour asked. Smith looked at his digital pocket watch.
"It's about . . . " He stopped and got into even more confused. "...noon?"
Everyone stopped and took a look at Smiths watch. He was right and everyone was confused.
"There are a couple of theories for this . . . " Tremour started, "One, we could be on an island that is always dark. Two, your watch is broken, which obviously isn't true because the colons are flashing for the seconds . . . or three . . . "
"We are in a weird time space continuum!" Rod yelled out loud. Everyone just looked at him with blank faces.
"Actually you just took the words out of my mouth. I highly doubt it's true though." Tremour replied . . . All righty then.
"Why do you . . . guys have to talk . . . So loud?" I said exhausted. Everyone turned around and ran to me. I opened my eyes to see everyone around me. I was so tired and everyone just stared at me in wonder if I was all right. My heart was starting to hurt and I knew why. I looked at Smith and Brady and I started to get a tear. They both just grinned. I didn't know how to take it. I just tried to sit up and they helped me. I couldn't just sit there and not say anything but what could I say. I started to cry really hard. I cried to the point I started to choke. Tremour saw a river and got a bucket to fill it full of water. He came back and pulled out a wash cloth. He wet the wash cloth and put it to my face. I started to get red and tired again.
"Why didn't you tell us that you had that much pain inside?" Rod asked. I started to calm down. I took the rag and slammed it into the water and slammed it to my face. All the water felt so good. I washed my face off. I saw my glasses sitting next to me and I picked them up and put them on. I looked at everyone and my eyes glared with the full moon.
"I didn't tell cause I knew that you all would help and I was glad for that... I was just trying to find a way to do it without anyone getting hurt." I replied as I curled up into a ball and tucked in my legs. "I love you all and I wouldn't replace any of you." My fist got tight and I got a bit angry. I looked at everyone and stood quickly to my feet. Bad idea. I got dizzy and tired and my body went limp. Tremour caught me. He layed me back down and he took my glasses off. I looked at everyone and I just stared at them as I didn't know why they would . . . never mind. I knew why, it was because they were my friends. That's what friends do. I would do the same for them. It hurt so much that they would do that in return. I was foolish to think those ways. It must have been Fate Island still having those effects on me. I looked at the full moon and felt lighter inside. I beat you Darkness. No, we beat you.
I had slept rather well considering what had just happened. I woke up to sunlight. It was amazing that the sun was out. I saw everyone else around a camp fire. I got up quietly and got some cloths to change into. I went to the river behind some bushes and took a nice cold bath. I was sweating like crazy. My heart was so calm. I washed my hair and was surprised at how pure the water was. I got out of the water and dried myself off. I put my cloths on and peeked behind the bushes to see everyone sound asleep. I had to grin. These people were willing to give their life for me. I could never be able to pay them back. I had my cloths on and my high ponytail. The only thing that was clean and wearable was my long black trench coat, black pants and my black shoes. (And yes, you perverts, I had underwear apparel on . . . jeesh!) My black under shirt was a little beat up but I still wore it.
I felt a disturbance and Crystal Court agents came with breakfast. I was really surprised. Brady and Smith must have beat the boss of this island and the barrier must have gone away. Everyone suddenly wakes up to the smell of eggs and pancakes. My mouth begins to water and I start to drool. Kairi gives me a look and laughs. I wipe away the drool. I had previously on my blue jeans, and my light blue T-shirt. As we ate our breakfast, I looked around and saw that everyone wasn't hovering over me or anything. They weren't bugging me to see if I was all right. I just went back to eating my food.
Only one person was left to be woken up and that was Rod. Poor kid was exhausted. He probably worried about me so much that he worried himself to sleep, sounds kind of weird but what the heck. Tremour looks at me and I glance back at him. Poor Rod is sleeping next to the fire. He looked so calm. I look at Rod and I grinned at him. I felt a bit of disturbance in Tremour. He seemed a bit distracted. I couldn't get into his head to get a good look at what he thinking. I leaned up next to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He kissed me back.
My laptop goes off and I dig into my bag to find my laptop. I open it up. I got excited. Cindy was on the other line. She seemed to be the only one that was worried at the moment.
"Honey, how are you doing?" She asked. She was still in her night gown.
"I'm doing just fine but Rod is still asleep." I said picking up the laptop and facing the screen toward Rod.
"Sorry to hear that . . . " She rolled her eyes. "So how is everyone else?"
I look at everyone. Tremour was in his pitch black pajamas, Smith in his Army/Navy pajamas and Brady in his science/molecules pajamas. It is kind of comical. I giggle at mom."They are all just fine."
Rod wakes up with a huge yawn. It was loud enough to wake the whole island. He wore his airplane pajamas and his hair looked a bit messy. All he did was pull out a comb and brush it out. He gave me his big smile but he never showed his teeth. His eyes were slammed shut when he gave his smile. It looked more weird than anything else. I looked back at Cindy.
"Ok honey, I'll let you go. Bye!" She said blowing a kiss.
"Bye love you!" I replied. The laptop beeped and shut off. I closed it up and put it away. Rod sat up between Tremour and me. He took his share of breakfast and gulped it down. Brady and Smith stood up and stretched out. It was a good way to wake up in the morning. Kairi and I looked at each other and thought about old memories of her and Sora together. Tremour looked up at Smith.
"Which way do we go?" He asked him. He sounded more like he was asking everyone. Brady pulled out his compass. It pointed north. He grinned and showed it to Smith. He too grinned.
"We are heading north." Brady announced. We all grinned. Sacred temple here we come!
Little did I know that Roja was having a little adventure of her own. She came from an Army /Navy base. She was very young in Navi years. Her base was attacked by an enemy. He was looking for a very powerful armor. A powerful Net-Navi, originally named Zidane (pronounced Zeye-din), attacked with no mercy until he came up to Roja. He just couldn't kill her. So instead he knocked her out and stoll her memories. He sent her into the internet, thinking that they would never meet. However, two years later, I found her and Zidane met with Roja again. But his name had changed and he was wearing the armor he was after two years earlier. The armor can change based on what the Navi's body type and it would transform. He had changed his name to Zero-Eight. He was controlled by a virus and Roja would have been eliminated if it wasn't for Rod, his master. He explained everything to me which I explained to her. She was scared and under pressure. She unleashed her special ability. Her Ultimate Decision attack/ability was able to take a Net-Navi and turn them from light to darkness and vice versa. But before he was changed back to light he exclaimed that her original trainer was killed . . . by him. Some of her memories had returned and she passed out. Up to this point they were just training partners.
Roja was in charge of security while the school was being rebuilt by the Crystal Court. Half of it was built already. Roja walked around the first floor and started to sense an unfamiliar being. She turned around and drew out her Key, it was red and black colored. It was Pikachu and she panicked as she saw Roja and shocked her. Roja didn't feel much but was still pissed.
""What the hell is wrong with you?" Roja screamed. (For the sake of the story I will put what Pokemon are saying for the remainder of the story)
"You scared me! I thought you could need some help." Pikachu replied. Roja could understand pokemon just like me.
"Well you helped me all right . . . Helped me get a heart attack!" Roja said waving her Key around. Pikachu is my pokemon. She can be a bit nervous when it comes to other-world-beings. Pikachu just stared at her with a big grin on her face. They continued on and didn't say much. Sniffing for a scent, Pikachu kept pretty low to the ground. She could smell a heartless from a mile away. Ok, it's not that strong but you get the idea. Roja kept the higher grounds on check. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a heartless attacks from behind and Pikachu barely dodged it. She counters with a thunder tackle. Soon multiple heartless surrounded them. There was no running away. Pikachu and Roja were standing back to back, staring down the heartless. They were really desperate for some munchy hearts and they weren't leaving until they got their share. Roja looked at Pikachu and Pikachu wasn't backing out of a fight.
"You know that I can't tell you what to do. You have to use your instincts." Roja said to Pikachu. Pikachu nodded at her. Roja took careful aim at a heartless and screamed aloud, "Go!" The two charged and headed into battle.
They split into two separate groups. Roja was very in tune and was knocking out heartless left and right. Pikachu was having a bit of trouble but managed to knock out about half of them. The heartless kept on coming and they weren't quitting. They were getting tired and they were getting worn out. They eventually fell against a bunch of lockers. They could not keep it up any longer and they were so tired. The heartless jumped for their final attack. Roja and Pikachu both flinched. They were done for. Until a distortion formed and Crystal Court agents came and fought off most of the heartless. Just the same, though, they kept returning. The agents went to retreat but the portal was starting to close. Roja grabbed a hold of Pikachu and hurled her into the porter just before it closed off. Roja was left alone and was vulnerable, some of her mid-section was torn open. She wasn't going to last very long. Suddenly she got attacked from behind, through the wall, and got knocked out into complete darkness.
When she awoke, she was sitting in the Navi-World at there main base... or at least what was left of it. She saw 08 and sat up. He had saved her. She looked into his eyes. He had taken his helmet off just that one time, to let her see his eyes. They knew they felt something but whatever it was, it was strong. They started to love each other.
