Hotaru looked at Kokoro's face, then at her chest. She pointed in silence, making Kokoro look down. The darkness was spreading over her chest, over to her arms. Kokoro again looked at Hotaru, but got no response. The scream, the same scream that took her mind in her home world, came back and again started to eat at her heart and mind. "What... what the hell is wrong with me!" Kokoro yelled out. She closed her eyes and covered her ears, trying to stop the pain. Someone came up to her and placed their hand over her heart. Kokoro looked up at the person, shocked. "Not... you too..."

She looked at the girl with her hand over Kokoro's heart, it was Rayne. Behind her stood five other girls, most she recognized, but some she didn't. "Who are you? Rayne why are you here!" She covered her ears again, the scream of the planet was piercing.

"Everything is going to change..." Rayne went up to Kokoro, taking down her hands and whispering into her ear. "Everything... the elements, the archangels, the royalties, even your friends... everything is going to change..."

Kokoro looked as Rayne stepped back with the other girls. She recognized Hotaru, but the other four were a mystery to her. Rayne and the others started to walk away, leaving Kokoro in the dark. "Wait... wait..." Kokoro said silently, the girls left her alone in the darkness. "Wait! Please don't leave me!" Kokoro ran after them, but was stopped by someone grabbing her wrist. Kokoro turned around to find Aki, holding onto her. "Aki! Let me go! I have to go after them-" She stopped when Aki didn't respond. Kokoro then tried to pull away, Aki wouldn't let go. She kept trying and started to use her other hand to make Aki let go. "What's wrong with you I just-" Again Kokoro stopped talking when darkness started to come from Aki's right hand, going into Kokoro. She looked down at the wind warrior's hand, two dark lights were creating the darkness. Kokoro then looked up at Aki, understanding everything. "Aki... no..." Kokoro started to fall into darkness again, her hand slipping right through her friend's. "Aki!" The darkness scars shattered from her body, but two orange light scars on her back formed, from those lights Kokoro sprouted long wings, the wings of the Archangel. "Aki!"

Kokoro tossed and turned in her sleep. She was patched up and curing from her cuts and bruises, but she still wasn't better in her heart. Kokoro had been in and out of nightmares for almost a week, never awake long enough to know where she was. Kokoro held onto the blanket, tossing around like a rag doll. Toboe, sitting next to her bed, put his hand on hers over the earth symbol on her right hand. Kokoro suddenly awoke, sitting up and tears in her eyes. She looked down at her hand and saw Toboe there, happy that she was finally up but scared at what she was dreaming. "Toboe... Toboe!" Kokoro gave him a hug, burying her face into him and crying. "What's happening? What the hell is happening!" Toboe just sat there as he watched her release all of her stress and fears from the past couple of months.
Momo sat up in her bed, it was just like Kokoro's, they were in Disney Castle again. When Mark got everyone back to Eastern Headquarters Momo came with Edward and Sora, then they called for Donald and Goofy to come and pick them up. The keyhole was never closed, but they would return. She looked down at her hands fiddling with themselves as she thought about the entire event. No later Mark walked into the room with a tray of food. "Hi there."

"Hey Mark." Momo sat up right and let her hands stopped as he placed down the tray. "To think, we lived through an earthquake! And my worst injury was just a paper cut!" She lifted her finger, showing the only bandage she had left.

Mark laughed and sat on the edge of the bed. "You know that's because Donald healed everything else. Same with the others." He looked at the tray as Momo started to eat. "He's really good at his magic. I heard that Sora is that good too."

"Really now..." Momo said, mouth full. She swallowed what she was eating and started again. "I know that he learned magic two years ago, that's when the game takes place... wait!" She almost dropped her silverware when it came to her. Mark looking in wonder as she blurted it out. "Riku! If King Mickey is out then were is Riku!"

Mark was quiet, thinking it out as well. "Hell if I know..." He finally said. He then stood up and started to the door. "You better get some more bed rest. Kokoro just woke up, so we're going to have that meeting soon."

Momo shook her head and let him close the door, then started with her food again. She was thinking about the last time Mark came into the room the day before. He gave her a tray like now, but also news that once Kokoro woke up there was to be a meeting between everyone and a private meeting between Sora and Kokoro. Momo stopped eating, she couldn't finish it all. She put it on the table to the side and looked out the window with the curtains pulled to the side and the moonlight coming into the room. "Kokoro... this is getting out of hand..."

Edward was out in the garden, by the house where Goofy usually slept, testing out his new auto-mail arm. Aki found him and came over to join him, sitting down and looking at the half moon. "Does it feel good?"

"It's great. Too bad Winry isn't here to see it." Edward stopped talking and gazed down at her, then sat next to her and started the conversation. "So, how did you guys start all of this? It seems like you know a lot."

"It's a long story..." Aki started yet stopped when her hand hurt again. She held it tight and under her cloak. Aki now wore black gloves to cover the gems in case she didn't cover them herself. "So then, where is Alphonse? It's he always with you?"

Edward looked to the ground and then lay back in the grass while rested his head in his hands. "They got him... those damn bastards." Aki looked at him she wanted to know who he was talking about. "Those black creatures... I think Sora called them Heartless." She turned away, she knew the rest of the tragic story. "Al and I were just going to East Headquarters... then they attacked. He got in the way and stopped them but lost his heart in the process."

"But..." Aki started, looking down at the flowers around them. "Al was an empty shell right? He couldn't have had a heart-"

"He did." Edward snapped. Aki jumped a bit but calmed down again and stood up. "Sorry about that..."

Aki shook her head and stood. She began to walk off. "No worries Edward. I'll be going then."

"Hey!" He yelled over to her. Aki stopped and turned around. "Call me Ed, Edward is too damn long." She smiled and started off into the darkness of night.

The next day came sooner then they thought. Everyone woke up and went to the throne room, all standing in front of the empty seat where King Mickey would sit. The ceiling was extremely tall and statues of a knight like Goofy and a mage like Donald were behind the chair. Kokoro sat on the ground waiting for Sora. She still felt a bit weak but she could move around without help. Momo stood up, shining up her Reiki with her hand, while Aki leaned against the throne chair. Donald and Goofy weren't part of this meeting; but Mark, Edward, Toboe, and Laura were. After a while Sora came walking in. All alone. Kokoro got up and watched him come in, so did everyone else. He walked up to them and stopped, looking each one in the eye. "Sorry I'm late."

"Yeah right." Momo tried to joke. Kokoro laughed, but no one else did. She quickly stopped and took a step forward, getting closest to Sora.

He looked at Kokoro, then started to the group. "First of all... the Royalty and the Archangel... that last world had both. Scar was the Royalty and Ed is the Archangel." Sora said, looking at Ed. "You did feel it didn't you? When she took the gem?"

Ed shook his head, then added, "I have these two new scars on my back. I guess that means I'm one of them too huh?"

Sora shook his head, that was quick. "Next up... the elements..." He looked at Kokoro's right hand, the emblem of earth still there. "So, how did it go?"

"Don't know." Kokoro smiled. "I was out like a light." She looked down at the emblem and lifted her hand a bit so Sora could see it easily without having to pretend not to look. "I guess that makes one down and five to go!"

"You did hear what Fenrir was saying when it all happened right?" Aki asked. "He doesn't want to be used like a pet."

Kokoro turned back to Aki and nodded. "I know, that's why I don't intend to use it a lot. Yeah, with his help I won't get tired from Earth spells anymore but I don't want to use him like a puppet. Fenrir is a living breathing being. I can't just say 'I choose you Fenrir!', it sounds like he's a pokemon or something. And that, my friends, would suck." She turned again to Sora. "So then, what is this big meeting for? Just for this?"

Sora shook his head, then started. "It's about your friends..." He started. Kokoro fell silent and the smile left her face. "We found some of them, but they're not like they used to be... being in separate worlds they tried different things, some aren't even human anymore."

"Not... human?" Momo and Kokoro said at the same time.

Sora shook his head in sorrow. "I'm sorry. But you can't see them yet, we have a lot of work to do. There has been a spike in-"

"I want to see them!" Kokoro yelled at Sora. "If my buddies are hurt I want to make sure they're okay, wouldn't you?"

Sora was silent but started up. "No, not with what we have to do."

"You're a Heartless Sora!" Kokoro yelled. "You called up this stupid meeting for nothing then huh? Or was it just to tell me, 'hey, you suck and your friends aren't human. But don't worry, you still get to steal hearts'. No Sora! I'm going to see them and you can't stop me!" She ran out of the room, opening the door and not closing it behind her. Sora glanced back at her, but cringed at the pain in his chest. He turned away from the group and started to walk out.

"Sora!" Momo ran up to him, but he kept walking. "What's the matter with you! This isn't like you at all-"

"What is me!" Sora yelled back at her. He also ran out of the room just to leave everyone to wonder in the mystery.

Momo watched as he ran out and then looked back at the others. Aki had vanished as well, she wasn't in the room anymore. She looked around but Aki was gone. Momo turned at the others for some support but none looked back at her. Momo frowned and stomped her foot, placing the Reiki on her back and running out after Kokoro and Sora, hopefully to find Aki as well.
