"Tell me again why we're -Take that!- Why we're heading back toward that place?" I asked Sora while simultaniously blasting a group of Heartless ships -it bowled me over when I discovered that Heartless could indeed fly ships-.

"We're going back to find Riku. After that..." Sora trailed off. He didn't seem to know what we would do afterwards. I, however, knew exactly what to do.

"After that, we're looking for Kairi." I didn't even have to look away from the holographic 'LCD' screen to know that Sora was shocked that I wanted to help find the friends of a complete stranger. Although, I didn't care whether he was a stranger or not. He was on my side, his friends were missing, and I knew where one was. I was going to help.

"That's it, there!" I heard Sora yell, a bombardment of heartless closing in on us as we neared a desolet-looking world. I, however, was used to this sort of thing on my videogames, and blasted each one in turn, not a single ship getting in a hit at us. As we drifted toward the world, Sora looked at me, shock and surprise in his face.

"You're great at this..."He said as I chuckled.

"I guess being a lazy ass for thirteen years can pay off." Confusion filled Soras face as I realized what I had just said. I had said '13 years', which could be taken in as me saying I was only thirteen years old. I quickly spoke up again, before he could ask anything.

"I'm seventeen, so you know. I got my powers on my fourteenth birthday. It was then that my days as a hero started up. No longer was I allowed to be lazy, had to be active and training for the next attack on my home every moment of every other day." Sora smiled, not looking away from the big holographic moniter hovering above his controls.

"I know what that's like. I used to live on a place called 'Destiny Islands'. It was the most beautiful place you could ever imagine. All sorts of exotic plants, treehouses built right into the trees, a waterfall that poured down the cleanest water anywhere... It was also surrounded by an ocean. The mainland was right nearby, though when you went to the island, it was as if it wasn't anywhere close." I could see it in my head. A paradise that only a child could imagine. I was broken out of those thoughts, however, when a beeping noise tore through the silence Sora had created.

"We've landed." He said simply pressing a button and leading me back down into and through the engine room, to the dark world outside his ship.
I recognised the area as the same place Mendirax had teleported me. It was the very same allyway. But dispite the fact that I knew where we were, and likely could lead us to the castle much quicker than Sora could -Due to my ability to fly- I decided to let Sora play the main character for a while. Besides, the poor boy had seen barely any action from the time I met him, to now.

"This way." He said, walking calmly through the allyway, bashing any Heartless that showed up with his keyblade. Before long, we found ourselves nearing the Shadow-skyscraper. I didn't expect, however, to see my Amity-Park Arch-foe talking with one of Sora's Arch-foes.

"Organization Thirteen!" Sora said.

"Vlad!" I exclaimed. Both men turned to us, and I recognized the Org. member as Nexidal, the fast-talking Pyrokinetic. It quickly occured to me that I hadn't seen much of the Org. after having been carried inside of the castle by Llexam. Or, rather, Riku. In front of me, Vlad spoke up.

"Ah, Daniel. I've been looking for you. As has this man here, Nexidal." He looked down slightly, at my red-and-white shirted chest. "And already you've lost the pouch that Light gave to you." He tutted. "Naughty boy. Let's you and me hope that the Org. Doesn't find a way to open it, hmm?" Immediatly I felt my anger spike. Beside me, Sora seemed only confused as he looked toward me.

"Pouch? 'Light' gave you a pouch?" He seemed to have forgotten about the Organization member.

"Yeah, and it was real important that I didn't lose it. Now the Org. has it." I spat out the groups name with Venom in my voice. I couldn't beleive that I had once trusted them. I winced as Riku/Llexams voice echoed painfully in my skull.

'Danny! Get to Hidden Fate as fast as you can! I won't be able to hold off the rest of the Org. for much longer! -Erg- Quickly!' I breathed in sharply as I morphed into my ghost mode, Vlad preparing himself for battle. Me and Sora looked at each other, and he nodded. Perhaps Riku/Llexam had voiced a message to Sora as well? I placed a fake 'fight' emotion into my voice, speaking towards Vlad.

"Oh, you guys are gonna love this... I call it..." I rapidly jumped behind Sora, hoisting him up by his armpits and zooming into the sky, while yelling the rest of the sentance to the men below us. "The quick escape!" Below me, Sora laughed, spreading his hands out in the air, apparantly not so afraid of flying as I had first thought. Unfortunately I had forgotten that Vlad too was half-ghost, so I soon found myself speeding across the dark world at 112 miles-per while avoiding ectoplasmic shots from an angry half-ghost arch-foe. Sora was, at the moment, my only weapon, as I had to concentrate on loosing Vlad while keeping me and Sora from crashing into anything. Now, what I mean by 'weapon' is that Sora was turned toward Vlad -very uncomfortable for me- while shooting shots of magic from his keyblade. He even could use something akin to my sheilds, which he called 'reflect'. Without looking at him, I yelled a warning.

"Brace yourself!" I turned intangible as we neared the castle, rapidly turning myself around and sucking in a deep breath. Vlad knew immediatly what was coming, but attempted to dodge it too late. My ghostly wail hit Vlad full-force, so as we -being myself and Sora- zoomed into some random part of the castle, Vlad was sent flying, no pun intended.

---

"What was that?" Sora asked me, amazment obvious in his voice. I was out of breath, and had lost alot of energy by using my wail at that level, but managed to keep myself conscious as we trudged through the hallways.

"G-ghostly wuh-wail..." I panted, trying desperately to conserve energy. Hell, even simply standing was taking alot out of me. That being so, I collapsed onto the floor, confusion wracking my mind. Why was I this tired? I had used my ghostly wail before, and I usually just transformed back to my human mode afterward. Of course, I had done that, but never had I been this tired. Perhaps it was an effect of the world I was on. Yes, that made sense. I had never used my Wail outside of my world before. Beside me, Sora spoke up worriedly.

"Are you okay? I can carry you if you want. I don't mind." I didn't have the strength to decline, so the keyblader quickly scooped me up, putting me into a piggy-back position, and closed my eyes, panting deeply as Sora hurried down the hall. As unconsciousness gripped me, the last thing I remembered was telling Sora where Riku was.

-Radiant Garden; Cid's House-

"So just how d'you plan on making me talk? You can't threaten me with death, cause I can't die, I don't technically exist in the first place. I'll just dissappear and then reappear back in the castle. Then I'll just tell Superior where your little hideout is. Might already know, though. Theres lots of stuff Supirior knows from before that he hasn't told us yet." Vonnix said, shifting his weight so he was leaning against the wall. He realized, however, that he had revealed something.

'Oh well.' He thought. 'Not like they'll ever beat him now.' Vonnix grinned, unnerving a few of the house's inhabitants. Leon, however, remain calm and cool, instantly working through the unintentional hint like it was nothing.

"'Supirior'? 'Knows from before'? That means that Xemnas must be back." Leon sighed. Why did Xemnas always have to come back?

"Sora beat 'im twice before, he can do it again." Cid said, kicking the organization member in his side. Vonnix fell sideways onto the floor, crying out in pain.

"What was that for?" Vonnix yelled. Cid chuckled.

"Fer being part o' the Organization. Yer the enemy, plus you almos' killed me an' Danny. Consider it payback. Part one of an unknown number." Cid spouted, looking pleased.

"You'll get yours, old man. I said it once, I'll say it again. Once I weave past the White materia fused with these bindings, you're all dead." From across the room, Yuffie stood up, chucking something in Vonnix's direction before turning back to her book. It was a small shurikan, and Vonnix soon found it embedded deep in the wall not even a centimeter from his ear. A chill ran down his spine.

"You never shut up, do ya? Well, not sure if this means anything, but I have deadly accurate aim. I missed on purpose. Say another word, and you'll have five of these in your chest." Yuffie said, waving another metal star around without turning from said book. Vonnix noticed it's title was 'A History of Wutai'.

"Fine. Let me go, and I'll..." Leon smirked, turning toward the Org. member.

"You'll what? Summon up your Heartless and Nobodies to destroy us? Not likely. Once Sora and Danny get back here with Riku, they'll take you down for good." Vonnix sighed. It was useless. These guys would never trust him.

Why did they have to send him on this mission?

Mrrg... Gotta end this chapter before it turns shitty, and before I stray off-plot.

Man, you guys are getting lots of chapters quickly. Lucky for you, I just received a wonderful burst of inspiration.

Okay! Chapter summery!

Danny and Sora have run into Vlad, who seems on the villans side again. They escape inside the castle where Danny sighs out where Riku is before falling unconscious, and Vonnix is still trapped and being help hostage by the Reconstruction Commitee Gang. What'll happen next?

I ain't telling you!

See you next chapter!
