XXXxxxXXX

I landed in a new world once I had left Traverse Town and the Sleeping Keyhole had been unlocked, Riku's doing I'm sure, his and Sora's. Something isn't right here though, I can't feel Sora's presence here. I usually can always sense his presence if he's in the same world. That's just strange, I can feel Riku and Kairi, but not Sora. Just what's going on here? Master Yen Sid said we'd be on the same track, through the same Sleeping Worlds at the same time.

I sighed, feeling resigned and kept walking. What world am I on anyway? I don't recognize this one.. That's when I realized what I was wearing. I am in some kind of blue suite thing with a bunch of lines and lights. "Wha?" I mumbled, looking my ridiculously flashy outfit over. "Huh? A helmet too?" I asked in annoyance, trying to take the thing off. "You might want to keep that on." says a feminine voice I have yet to have heard.

I turn around and see a tall girl with kind of pale skin with very short cropped jet black hair wearing the same kind of suite I am, but her's looks kind of different, I don't know how to explain it though, more lights I think. "Wha? Who are you? Where am I?" I asked the mysterious girl. "You're new here huh?" she asks, smiling. "Uh, yeah." I say lightly, "So, uh, where am I? And who are you?"

"This is The Grid. And me? I'm Quorra." she answers with a nice smile. I nod, smiling now, seeing as I don't sense any danger from her. "I'm Roxas." I said. "Well, Roxas, it's nice to meet you." she smiles, leaning on her knees slightly to be on my height level. "Quorra!" comes the voice of a male, probably her age. "Sam!" she calls, standing completely, "Over here, Sam!"

I turn around to where she is calling to and see a guy coming toward us. He wears a suite like mine with very short brown hair that might be slicked back with green eyes maybe. "Quorra, what did Dad say about talking to people we don't know, he could be with them." hisses Sam. I frown, "Who's 'them'? And what are you talking about? I just got here."

"See, Sam? He's just a kid!" says Quorra. I frown, I'm not just a kid! "So you think." snaps Sam. He then brings his attention to me, "Prove you're not one of them." "How can I when I don't know what you're talking about?" I growled. "See? He doesn't even know who you're refering to. He's safe, Sam. He's new here, maybe we should bring him back to your dad?" asks Quorra.

"Well.." says Sam, appearing to be thinking something over, "He doesn't seem like one of the enemies. Yeah, let's see what Dad thinks." He turns and walks away and Quorra follows after him. I guess I'm supposed to go too.. I follow after Quorra, keeping a look out for anything suspicious, or a Sleeping Keyhole. I followed Sam and Quorra back to a huge white house like building. I gazed up at it in astonishment. Buildings are so weird here...

"So, Sam, your dad lives here?" I asked, focusing my gaze on Sam as I follow him and Quorra inside the building. "Yeah, if you can call it living." he mumbles. I nod, not sure what he was going on about. "You'll like him, he's more understanding than Sam is." teases Quorra. "Oh hah hah." sighs Sam sarcastically. I grin and nod at her, showing her I understood her joke. She smiles and leads me inside.

Once inside, the building is white on the inside than it is on the outside, I followed Sam and Quorra up an elevator thing and up into a completely empty room, well, all except a white bike in the middle of it, and an old man standing by the window. He turns and smiles at Sam, Quorra, and me. Hmm, he looks like Sam.. So that's his dad.. "Ah, you have returned, have you gathered any information on Rinzler?" he asks Sam. He then turns to me and smiles, "And who have you brought with you?"

"I'm Roxas." I answered. "Ah, it's very nice to meet you then, Roxas. So, Sam, the information?" asks Sam's father. Sam starts talking and I zone out, taking a look around the room. It seems pretty simple. My eyes linger on the white bike. "who's bike is that?" I asked, pointing to it slightly. "Ah, that is mine." answers Sam's father. "Ah.. Okay.." I mutter, looking out the huge glass window now.

I look out at all the lights and buildings that are so far away, yet so very bright. Suddenly a light seems to be flying in our direction. I squint slightly to find out what it is. And just as I realize it's an armored guy on a bike like the white one only in black and red lights with the same kind of suite smashes into the window, knocking Sam's dad into the wall, and the wind blows Sam, Quorra, and I into the wall behind us. We land roughly on the floor.

"Rinzler!" Sam's father screams. I look up at the man wearing a black and red mask as he stares around at us. His face stops moving at me. What's this guy want with me? Or maybe he just doesn't know who I am..? Suddenly, this "Rinzler" guy reaches down and grabs onto the back of the collar of the suite I'm wearing and he yanks me up off the floor. "Hey! Let me go!" I growled.

He says nothing, just pulls me limply to my feet and and he gets off his bike. Suddenly his fist makes contact with my face, and everything goes black. When I wake up again I am on the back of the "Rinzler" guy's bike and we're riding somewhere. I grunt softly and sit up, trying to take a look around, but all I can see are flashing lights, going right past me. Where is this guy taking me? I don't care, I'm getting a ticket outta here, I have to find the others, and the Sleeping Keyhole! And Sora! I still can't sense him!

I quickly lunge off the bike and roll across the ground. I quickly get up and look around, trying to find my way back to the huge white house, but it looks like I'm far from there, I'm near some kind of gate. Rinzler stops and looks at me, he's still got the mask on. I grunt and take off running in the opposite direction, but other guys in red block my path and grab onto my arms. "Release me!" I growled, trying to push past them.

I manage to break past them but more show up and surround me. I growl and summon my Keyblade quickly. Rinzler comes through the crowd and snatches my Keyblade away from me. "You can't have that!" I growled, holding my hand out for it and it appears in my hand once more. "Told you." I smirked. Rinzler reaches over his shoulder and pulls some kind of red glowing disk and he gets in a fighting stance. "Oh? You wanna dance?" I smirked, getting in my fighting stance.

"Rinzler, I told you to bring him to the Cycle Rink, not to fight him." says a man who looks like Sam's father, but younger, as he comes through the crowd, pulling Rinzler back a little. Rinzler looks at the man and puts his glowing disk back over his shoulder, wherever he was keeping it. "What do you want with me?" I growled, "Who are you? What the hell is a 'Cycle Rink'?"

"What I want with you, little outsider?" the man asks. "I'm not little." I growled. I'm really getting tired of everyone treating me like a kid! I'm almost nineteen for crying out loud! "Oh, is that so? Very well. You will compete in the Cycle Rink, just as the other outsider." he says. Instantly I'm full of questions. Someone else is here? Is it Sora? Riku? Kairi? Will I have to "compete" against them? Will I work with them? "Who else is there, what 'other one' are you talking about?" I asked. "I believe she said her name was Kairi." the man asks.

"Kairi?" I gasp, "Kairi's here? What have you done with her?" "Nothing. She's going to compete in the Cycle Rink, as are you." he answers. "They hell I am! Who are you anyway?" I growled. "You are. And I am CLU." "CLU?" I asked, "That's a weird name." "Is it? And wouldn't your name be Roxas?" CLU smirks. "How do you know my name?" I growled.

"A nice little outsider showed up and told me to gather you, Riku, and Kairi to the Cycle Rink. For a little...announcement." says CLU. Outsider? Someone from the New Organization XIII? Wait... He didn't speak of Sora... So, does that mean Sora's been taken off path? If so, this ins't good, Yen Sid has to be notified so he can take us back to the Waking Worlds at once! Sora's most likely in danger!

Yen Sid himself is guiding our path, so Sora shouldn't have gotten lost, unless someone else is guiding him now... I have to tell the others! But, he said Kairi was there, so Riku hasn't been spotted yet. When the Sleeping Keyhole is unlocked, we all leave through it, even if we're not near it. So if Riku can find it without being kidnapped by these losers, he can get us outta here, and we can find Sora. Come on, Riku! We're all depending on you!

So I let the jerks take me to the "Cycle Rink" thing, just so I could meet up with Kairi, and tell her what I have found out. I know she'd love to know the Organization might be messing with our Exam. So they led me to this huge dome thing and pushed me inside this cell-like room and gave me a thin round cylinder object and told me not to lose it. So I kept it in hand as I took a look around the room. Someone's in here with me. A girl, but she isn't facing me. Time to find out if it's Kairi.

"Kairi?" I asked, stepping forward. The girl turns around and she's wearing the same suite I am, almost identical, except it's a girl's suite obviously. She has a helmet like mine on, and her long violet hair falls down her back under her helmet and over her face, but you can sill see who it is. And it's Kairi. "Kairi, it is you!" I said happily, walking up to her now.

"Roxas?" she asks, looking slightly confused, "What are you doing here? Did you get taken too?" "Uh, yeah I did. But that isn't important. I need to tell you something, it's very important that you hear this.." I explained in haste. "Sure, Roxas, what is it?" she asks, her eyes full of curiosity. "I've lost my sense in Sora. I can't sense him here. Yen Sid said our path would be laid out by him, we go only where he sends us. But Sora, he's not here, his path has been changed. And I think I know who's behind it." I explained seriously.

"You think Sora's been taken from the Exam?" asks Kairi. "Yes, I'm sure of it." I stated. "So, who took Sora?" she asks, looking worried. "I believe Young Xehanort has taken him." I said wearily. "Young Xehanort?" she yells, her eyes full of fire. "You are very bright, Roxas." says that creepy voice, the only one belonging to a Young Xehanort.

"Young Xehanort." I growled. "Hello to you too, Roxas." he smirks. "What have you done with Sora?" Kairi screams at him. "Sora?" he smirks, "I have done nothing yet, little Princess." Kairi growls and summons her Keyblade instantly. "Hey now, little Princess, I am not here to fight. Riku is not here yet. Why don't we wait a minute." Young Xehanort smirks. "I am not staying anywhere with you!" screams Kairi. "Yeah, let us out!" I growled. "Out? You're not even in the Exam anymore little Key Bearers." smirks Young Xehanort. Mine and Kairi's eyes went wide. "What?" I asked. "We're not...in the Exam anymore?" gasps Kairi.
