Chapter 20 The Power of Darkness Part 1

"I'm sorry", Urd apologised. "Goodbye."

With that...Urd's body started fading away...until...it disappeared completely.

Urd was gone.

I stayed frozen in place as I held out my arms where Urd was just moments before.

My classmates were yelling and crying...but I couldn't hear them. All I could hear were the words I had said to Urd just a few days before. A promise I failed to keep.

"Don't worry Urd. If anything bad happens, I'll keep you safe."

Tears fell from my eyes as I thought about these words.

Then...I looked up at the Darkside that had struck Urd down, and my sadness turned into anger.

I glared at the Darkside. I stood up, and then...I summoned my Keyblade.

This was the first time I used the power of darkness.

Eraqus' POV

It happened so quickly.

Xehanort tripped as he tried to runaway. The Darkside tried to hit him, but it was Urd who was hit instead.

As Xehanort held her in his arms, the rest of us ran up to them.

"Hang in there Urd", Hermod demanded as he held said person's hand as tears began to fall from his eyes. "Please just hang in there!"

"I'm sorry", Urd apologised. "Goodbye."

With that...Urd's body started fading away...until...it disappeared completely.

Urd was gone.

"No", I breathed out.

"Urd", Hermod said.

"It can't be", Bragi said. "No."

It was Vor who screamed first.

"Urd", she yelled out in pain. The rest of us soon followed suite.

We all broke down into heavy sobs...all expect Xehanort.

He just stayed frozen in place as tears fell from his eyes.

Then...he looked at the Darkside...and glared at it before standing up.

"Xehanort", I said in shock.

Then...Xehanort summoned his Keyblade.

I gasped in shock. Then...I grabbed onto his arm.

"Please don't Xehanort", I pleaded. "We just lost Urd. We don't want to loose you too!"

Xehanort didn't say anything. Instead...he turned to look at me.

What I saw caused me to let go of his arm.

His eyes that used to be silver...had now turned yellow.

"Xehanort", I said in disbelief.

And then...something surround Xehanort.

It was...darkness.

Darkness is bad and always has been.

"Xehanort", I breathed out again in disbelief. "It can't be. No."

With that, Xehanort turned around...and was able to easily defeat the Darkside. But he did so...using the power of darkness.

When he had defeated the Darkside...he began to fall.

I ran up and managed to catch him just as he was about to hit the ground.

"Xehanort", I said as I frantically started shaking said person. "Wake up Xehanort! Please!"

With that...Xehanort slowly opened his eyes...and I was so relieved to see that they were back to their silver colour.

"Xehanort", I breathed out in relief.

"Eraqus", Xehanort breathed out.

Then...he began to cry...so...I hugged him.

"I'm sorry", he apologised. "I'm sorry."
