"There you are Kairi. I've been looking all over for you. Are you ok?" He said sitting down beside me, catching his breath.

"Yes, I'm fine. We need to hurry though." I replied looking at him smiling. "I have to learn how to fight and use my powers soon, before it's too late."

"Before what's too late?" He asked looking at me confused.

"I'll explain later." I said, not wanting to relive the nightmare I had earlier.

"Ok, well I don't know how to use your powers, so you'll have to learn how to use them by yourself. But I can help you learn to control them since I have my own powers." He said, smiling.

"I know that to use my powers it has something to do with this locket that I found in the secret spot." I said, pulling the locket out from inside my shirt.

"I think you're right, have you tried to open it?" He said taking my hand with the locket in it in his own.

"Yeah, but it won't open." I said looking at him.

"When did you find it?" He asked, looking up at me.

"The day I turned 16, I found it and tried to open it but it didn't work." I replied.

"We'll let's go to the secret spot and try to open it again. It might work now that you're eighteen and you've officially gotten your powers." He said, jumping down from the tree, and then helping me down.

"Ok." I said, as he took my hand and we walked off to the secret spot.

When we arrived inside the secret spot, we went and sat down by the door. I took the locket off my neck and tried to open it. It wouldn't budge.

"It's no use," I said giving a sigh.

"Try opening it while wearing it." He replied looking at the locket.

When I placed it back around my neck and went to open it, it started to glow brightly. When I opened it, there were four pictures in it. One of me, one of Sora, one of Riku, and one picture of all of us together. "Us being friends, gives you the powers of the Princesses of Hearts" I heard Riku say. I smiled looking at the pictures. I closed the locket and it continued to glow brightly.

"Think of something like making a fire and then hold the locket in your one hand and point your other at the rock over there." He said smiling, pointing over to a large boulder.

"Ok" I replied. I held the locket in my left hand as it glowed more brightly. I pointed my right hand at the large boulder, thinking of fire. In no more than a second, a bright light shot out of my hand, melting the boulder where it stood.

"Good job!" Riku said with a smile. "Now try the same thing, but this time thinking of ice. And try it on me."

"Umm.You sure?" I asked, and he nodded. "Ok." I pointed at him and thought of ice still holding the locket. A bright light shot out of my hand a second time, freezing Riku where he sat. Figuring he'd want me to use fire to melt the ice, I continued to point at him, thinking of fire this time until another bright light shot out, melting the ice that surrounded him.

"Good job, I think you've got how to use it." He said with a smile.

"Yeah, now I need to get a weapon and learn to fight." I said still looking at him.

"Yes, you can't use your powers all the time or you will get weak faster than usual. This is where I can use my powers to make you a weapon, but what type of weapon? I wouldn't say a sword, unless you want one." he replied, then seeing me shake my head in disapproval of using a sword, he continued. "How about a staff? I could make it the color of your choice; it'd be strong and durable, unbreakable, and just a little bit shorter than you are now. Then I could teach you to use it easily and we could be off searching for Sora in three or four days. What do you say?"

"Yeah a staff would be great! Make it purple." I said with excitement in my voice, smiling.

"Okay, I'll stay here and make it, and you go outside and practice transporting yourself places around the island and don't forget to practice your other powers too." He said closing his eyes with his hands out into the air.

"Okay," I replied walking outside.
