Sora landed on the docks of the main island and summoned his keyblade he looked round expecting to see heartless everywhere, to see explosions that have torn buildings apart, and the people he knew and cared about lying lifeless on the floor, but everything was normal the people were going about there daily lives as if one of the most darkest and evilest beings to live wasn't around, he ran towards the centre of the town there was a large fountain in the middle of it, along his way he got some strange looks, mainly because he still had his keyblade out and the towns people didn't know what it was, he ran past coffee shops, shoe shops, cloths shops, fruit and veg stalls and an ice cream parlour so fast that he didn't see Lars and his mum sat eating sea salt ice cream, as they saw him run past they looked at each other and selena said "do you think we should follow him" Lars looked at her "you felt it to then a dark presence here on the island the same one from over a year ago but much, much more powerful?" she smiled at him "you don't miss anything do you" "haven't done so far I suppose it wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on him" selena chuckled slightly "always protective" he smiled back "cant help what my heart feels" he shrugged laughing, Sora was stood at a cross road he was looking left and right then straight a head, he then stood still and closed his eyes he felt the beat of his heart rising in his chest pushing him forwards towards the school and of he went, Lars looked at selena and said "he's heading towards the school you follow him take this" he handed her a phone if he changes where he's going let me know I've got to pick something up that we may need" this confused her slightly but she didn't have time to question him because one swift move he stood placed money on the table and was making his way in the direction of his house, she shook her head, stood and followed after Sora.

Sora was running full pelt to the school ultima weapon still in his hand but the quite made him nervous up until now every major fight there was noise or a big creature of some sort that he knew he'd have to beat to get to the guy controlling everyone but there was nothing, to passers by it was a typical Thursday afternoon during the school holidays, kids everywhere enjoying the last days of summer vacation (the holidays on the islands lasted longer then elsewhere because of the school time table they had longer summer holidays then most but shorter holidays the rest of the year), except Sora who was searching for his friend he reached the bottom of the hill where the school was and kept running, by this time he felt that he should of at least seen some shadows or armoured knights but nothing there were no heartless anywhere still which made him all the more nervous. If Sora looked behind him, he would of seen his mum, running too, a hundred yards behind him, amazingly keeping up with him. She looked at her soon awed at how fast he was moving she had heard all about his adventures and knew that he had become very skilled and fit because of being under near constant pressure from attack but to see it was a different matter all together he disappeared over the crest of the hill,

As Sora ran over the crest of the hill he felt like he was being watched, on the top of the school building 2 pairs of bright yellow eyes were staring at him "its about time I was getting bored" Riku/Ansem thought to himself the Guardian's grin becoming even more malicious, Sora looked at the roof of the school building 6 stories up and saw his quarry he ran towards the base of the building a few yards away he tensed his legs and rocketed up the side of the building towards the roof, just as selena reached the crest of the hill she saw Sora leap and skidded to a halt she couldn't believe her eyes, her son was practically flying. Sora landed on the roof "Riku come on, are you gonna let him take you again, I thought you were stronger then that" a memory of a battle rang through Sora's mind of Riku saying the same thing out of the darkness to encourage him to fight a small smile crept at the corner of his lips.
