Thanks to her keyblade training, Kairi was able to wake up early today. Now that her environment is brightened up from the light of day, Kairi takes a look at her surroundings more clearly. The barn seemed to be made entirely of unpainted wood and there were barn tools and haystacks everywhere, as every barn should have. The thing that intrigued Kairi the most was the farm animals. They were all locked in their stalls, which explains why Kairi slept undisturbed, but more importantly, they did not look like any animal Kairi recognized. They looked like small skinny elephants with shorter trunks. She wondered what they were used for. She then quickly gets up and sneaks out of the barn.
When Kairi gets out of the barn, she can see what looked like a house to her left. She decides to ask for directions. She walks up to the door and politely knocks and waits a few seconds before it is answered. A young woman answers the door, but she certainly wasn't human. She had two tail like appendages flowing out of where her hair would be and to top it off her skin was a pink color.
Remembering she was taught not to disturb the world order, she decides to pay it all no mind.
"Who are you?" The woman asks.
"I'm Kairi. I'm kinda lost so I was wondering if you could give me directions." Kairi explains.
"Well, I'm Shere. Do you live on another farm on the planet?" She asks.
"No. I live on an island. I was last in a desert area with all my friends and suddenly I woke up here. Maybe you know of one around here.?" Kairi asks.
"Hmmm. There are no deserts on Salucami. Someone must have kidnapped you and brought you here. Although why they would leave you, I don't know." Shere explains.
"Oh." Kairi sadly sighs. She begins wracking her brain for any possible solutions when Shere offers her own.
"If you come from a different planet then maybe you can hitch a ride with a ship I just saw land on the planet. Maybe you can pay them to take you where you need to go."
"Oh thank you." Kairi thanks.
"I don't know if its still here, but its worth a shot. I saw it land to the east. There is a farm an hour away from here, so maybe thats where it is." Shere explains.
"Thank you." Kairi says before leaving for the farm. On the walk her mind is overrun with thoughts. 'Is it someone who's come looking for me after they realized I disappeared from the battle? Is the second keyblade war finished and everyone is scouring the worlds searching for me? Do they know why Xemnas just dropped me off here? Could it be Sora who's landed here?' She thinks as she walks towards the far at a brisk pace.
As the long walk continues, she thinks back to the battle in the keyblade graveyard. She remembers the Xehanort possesed Terra attempt to strike her down while she was frozen by fear. She remembers being effortlessly sucked into the heartless tornado. And she remembers being taken by Xemnas while she did nothing to stop him. Kairi could deny the fact that she was useless during the whole battle. She could barely even fight Xion and has to have Axel cover for her a lot of the time while simultaneously fighting Saix. These thoughts of uselessness and guilt over the previous thoughts persisted until the farm was in sight. As she approaches she can see the farmers tending to some alien looking crops, then again what wasn't here. As she quickens her pace, she stops in her tracks when she notices multiple shadow heartless spawn around the farmers.
"The shadow demons are back!" One screams.
"Quickly! Back to the mandalorian!" Another orders.
"We won't be able to afford him a second time!" Yet another says.
"Quickly! This way! Maybe we can lead them away from the farm!" The first says. The group makes their way in the away from Kairi, only for more heartless to spawn and block their path. Seeing the people in trouble, Kairi summons Destinys Embrace and charges at the closest shadow. She strikes it, and all the shadows in the area immediately take notice of her. They are not the only ones.
"Look, over there!" A farmer exclaims.
"Who's that?" Another farmers asks.
Kairi starts off by firing of some firara at the horde, thining their numbers. She then takes out the rest with precision strikes from her keyblade. The battle was easy, then again, so was the other times she faced off against shadows.
"Thank you, young miss. What can we do to repay you?" One of the farmers asked after the battle.
"There is a ship here, correct?" Kairi asks.
"Yes, a ship landed here yesterday." he responds.
"I was wondering if I could be taken off world. I'm kinda supposed to be somewhere else." Kairi explains.
"I understand. However, that ship does not belong to us. It belongs to a mandalorian. If you pay him enough credits, he may take you where you need to go." He explains.
"Thank you." Kairi thanks. During her keyblade training, Kairi was told her munny would convert to the currency of whatever world she was in at the time. She had a fair amount when she last checked, so she should be good. She heads north to find the ship.
It was early in the day as Mando was cleaning his pulse rifle. After this, he wasn't sure what he was going to do after this. As Mando thinks of what comes next after this he finishes with his rifle before he can come up with a solution. He stashes it back beside his weapons hold since its too big to fit inside, and heads outside to check on the child.
He heads outside the razor crest and the first thing he sees is no child. He looks around the ship and cannot find him anywhere.
"Kid?" Mando calls out to him while looking around to see if he would show up out of anywhere. "Kid?" He calls out again.
A few shadow blobs that where at the farm, materialize around the ship, luckily, there aren't as many as their where back at the farm. The Mandalorian pulls out his blaster, fearing the worst for the child.
"What dod you do!" He demands. The demons do not respond, they most likely weren't intelligent enough. Mando then begins firing off his blaster, hitting the demons with pinpoint accuracy.
Its only five minutes down the road when Kairi comes across a lone shadow heartless. Seeing as it was no immediate threat, she was in no rush to defeat it. That was, until she saw it coming up towards some small green creature with big ears. She quickly rushes to the heartless and kills it with one swipe. She then looks back to the creature who had stopped trebling in fear as it was before she arrived. Seeing as how it had clothes on, this was probably not an animal. Kneeling down to the child's level, or at least close to it seeing as it was really small, she says.
"Don't worry. Your safe now." The creature looks Kairi in the eyes and gives her an adorable smile. Kairi silently squeals at this. "Oh, you are just adorable aren't you." She then looks around to see if there are any more of its kind around, its parents maybe. However, nothing is in sight. "Are you lost?" Kairi asks the child, to which it nods its head. "Do you live with the farmers?" She asks, to which the child shakes it head to say no. 'Hmmm, where could it have come from then?' Kairi thinks. "Are you with this mandalorian person?" Kairi asks, to which the child smiles signifying a yes. "Great! I was going over to see him myself. If he's taking care of you, he'll probably be just fine giving me a ride to wherever I need to go." She says.
She then picks up the child, who luckily isn't heavy, and looks at it closer. She then notices it also has what was essentially peach fuzz on its head making it somewhat even cuter. With the child still smiling at her, Kairi was internally squealing at the adorableness of this thing. "Come on, lets go find him." She says, failing to keep smiling at the child herself. 'If only Sora were here to see this.' she thinks as she continues along the path.
