~~Hi everyone! Sorry this chapter is a little late, It's the end of the school year and I have final exams. *grr* Anyway, please R+R!!~~

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts. I own Corita. WAHAHA!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It's quiet. Too quiet." Sora remarked as they walked into the District.

"Oh, be quiet. Let's go!" Corita pulled as Sora's arm and they ran down the stairs together.

"WHOA! LOOK OUT BELOW!"

"Oof!" Sora and Corita moaned as something fell on top of them. Not, something, someone! Someones!

"The Key!" the strangers said, looking at the Keyblade.

Suddenly, the ground started to rumble.

"Oh, no..." Corita groaned.

Out of the ground, giant blockades were shooting up, blocking their exit. The two mysterious people who had fallen on the twins lept up, so Sora and Corita took the opportunity, as tons of dark orbs were appearing everywhere, Heartless creatures appearing from them.

"Hey, you can fight, right?" Sora asked the strangers.

"No problem!" They called.

"Let's go!" Corita said.

The Heartless didn't need to be told to attack. It seemed like they had no specific battle plan. They attacked without mercy, and they attacked often. The 4 were running out of energy by the time they'de fought off the army of Heartless.

"Now...how do we get out of here?" Corita asked.

She didn't get an answer. Suddenly, the ground started to rumble again. This time, the rumbles were far more powerful than they were before. Out of the sky dropped a giant creature, larger than either of the twins had ever seen. It looked like 2 hands, 2 legs, a torso, and a leg all held together by an unseeable force. It also had the Heartless symbol on its torso.

"Um...Sora?" Corita asked.

"We can take it on!" Sora said.

"Let's get it!" one of the strangers cried.

Sora and the 2 others approached the Heartless leader of Traverse Town, ready to fight. Corita, however, hesitated.

"What if something goes wrong...?" She wondered.

"C'mon Corita! We need all the help we can get!" Sora yelled, taking a whack at one of the monster's arms.

Corita nodded, and ran forward, staff in hand.

As the Heartless realized it was outnumbered, it seemed to fight harder. Without warning, it twisted its arms in one direction as if winding them up, and then spun them quickly like a fan. Luckily, the battlers were shorter than the Heartless, so the attack was easy to avoid.

"C'mon!" Sora cried, leaping into the air to attack its head.

Bad idea.

The Heartless leader spun its arms at just the right moment to send Sora flying across the battlefield.

"Sora!" Corita screamed as he landed heavily on the ground.

Suddenly, something happened to her. Corita lifted her staff in the air, and a strange feeling flowed into her mind. All she could think about was Sora, and how he was badly injured. The feeling quickly flowed out of her by the path of the staff. Her staff seemed to glow green, and the energy seemed to flow towards Sora. Corita stared in awe at the staff, then ran to her brother, who was awakening.

"Wha?" Sora groaned.

"Sora!" Corita cried, running to his side. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah...what just happened??" he asked.

"I don't know..."

"CORITA! LOOK OUT!"

Of course, the Heartless Leader of Traverse Town wasn't going to let the Keyblade Master and his twin sister recover. Its arms weren't, at least. Luckily, the two just managed to avoid being injured further.

"Let's finish this now!" Sora said, running at the creature.

Corita was still confused, but wasn't going to let that stop her from helping her brother and 2 strangers who were hacking away at a giant creature who was trying to kill them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Look at that!" Sora said, pointing to a glowing blue orb in the shape of a heart. The heart flowed out of the defeated leader of Traverse Town, who now lay in a heap in the middle of the Third District.

"So, that's what a heart looks like..." Corita said.

"Ahem!"

Sora and Corita turned around, and saw the strangers who had literally dropped in. They were quite the comical pair, a very tall dog and a grumpy looking duck.

"Alright, it's you, right?" The duck said, turning towards Sora.

"Huh?" Sora said, puzzled.

"Is it you?" He said, turning towards Corita.

"I'm sorry, but we have no idea what you're talking about." Corita explained.

"I know I saw one of you with it! I just can't tell, you look so much alike..."

"You mean this?" Sora said, taking out the Keyblade. It seemed to have an eerie glow in the moonlight.

"YES! That's it!" The duck cried, leaping up and down.

"They too have been seeking the wielder of the Keyblade." A voice behind them said.

They all whirled around and saw Leon and Yuffie standing there.

"It seemes everyone is..." Sora said.

"You should be happy!" Corita said.

"Well, anyway..." The duck said, tapping his foot from impatience. "You'll be coming with us."

"What?" Corita said. "We don't have to do anything!"

"Watch it!" The duck growled at Corita.

"Why should we go with you?" Sora asked, pushing the 2 apart.

"Well, we have special instructions." said the dog mysteriously.

"Special instructions?" Corita asked.

"We've been instructed to find the Keyblade Master and find our King!" grumbled the duck.

"What? You mean, your King left and told you to find me, and then find him again?" Sora asked. They nodded.

"Um, just about." The dog said.

"Sora, go with them."

They all looked at Leon, who'd just spoken.

"Who knows? You may even find your friends!" Yuffie added.

"Yeah, I guess so..." Sora groaned sadly.

"We're going to other worlds to search for him on our vessal!" the dog said cheerfully.

"Vessal?" Corita wondered.

"But you can't come looking like that, understand?" The duck said.

"No frowning! No sad face, okay!"

"Yeah! You've gotta look funny, like us!" The dog said happily.

"This boat runs on happy faces!" the duck said, pushing the dog away.

"How cheesy." Corita said.

"C'mon, smile!" they said to Sora.

Finally, they got Sora to smile. When they did, they were rolling over with laughter.

"That's one funny face!" The dog said.

"Alright, why not? I'll go with you guys!" Sora said.

"I guess I'm coming too." Corita said.

"Donald Duck!" The duck said.

"Name's Goofy!" The dog said.

"I'm Sora." Sora said.

"And I'm Corita!" Corita finished, all putting their hands in the center.

"All for one and one for all!" Goofy finished.

"How cheesy." Leon and Yuffie said together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sora, there's something I want to ask you about." Corita said.

"What is it?"

The twins were sitting together in the Green Room of the hotel. They were leaving soon with Donald and Goofy, who were at Donalds' nephew's item shop.

"About the battle earlier..." Corita said slowly. "After the creature knocked you to the ground...what happened?"

Sora sat in thought for a minute. "I don't know...I don't remember much before it, but when it happened, I felt like new again...ready to fight."

The two sat for a moment in deep thought, thinking it through.

"Why don't you ask Donald?" Sora said suddenly. "He's a magician, remember?"

"Alright, I'll ask him, but he seems kind of short-tempered, don't you think?"

"Only a little." Sora laughed.

At that time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Corita called.

Donald and Goofy came in, although Sora and Corita could barely reconize them. They were carrying tons of green and blue containers in their arms, so it looked like it must have been hard to see if they were them.

"We got the right room, right?" Donald asked.

"Yeah. Do you need some help?" Sora asked, standing up and walking over to them.

"Thanks!" Goofy said. "This is about all we'll need for now."

"For now?" Corita asked.

"You never know when the Heartless will attack!" Donald said.

"What is this stuff?" Sora said, looking at one of the blue containers.

"Not so fast!" Donald said, taking the container. Holding it up, he said "This is an ether. They're for me, since I'm the one who's casting the magic around here.

"And these are potions!" Goofy said, holding up a green container. They'll give you the energy you need to fight the Heartless if you're hurt!"

"Alright, give me some of them!" Sora said, taking some potions.

"Donald, I need to talk to you." Corita said suddenly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hmph! I'm supposed to be the only magic caster around here! Where's that door? You know, I've been training with magic for so long! You know how long! I don't even know how long! WHERE'S THAT DOOR? I..."

"Donald, please be quiet!" Corita said.

Corita had explained what had happened to Donald, who didn't seem thrilled with the idea. He had decided to take her to Merlin, an elderly old magician who lived in the Third District of Traverse Town. Since the leader of the town had just been defeated, there wasn't a Heartless to be seen. Donald, however, was still lost.

"WHERE'S THAT DOOR?!?!?" he exclaimed.

"Is this it?" Corita called, pointing to a door with a fire symbol on it.

"Of course not, I would have found it...Oh, it is the door."

They approached the door, and looked at it all over.

"Doesn't look like we can get in." Corita remarked.

"Don't be silly!" Donald said. "Only us magic folk can get in, but it requires a spell! Watch and learn!"

Donald took a few steps ahead of Corita, standing about 8 feet from the door.

"FIRE!" he cried, and a small blast of flame took off from the end of his staff, blasting him backwards. The door, however, did open.

"Donald! Are you okay?" Corita asked.

"Never felt better..." Donald said, standing up.

Together they walked into the doorway and followed the path until they reached a small pond with large stepping stones. On a small island in the middle of the pond, there was a small house.

"That's Merlin's house. Now, to get there, we jump." Donald said, walking to the water's edge.

"That sounds easy!" Corita said, leaping onto the first stone.

"Umm...Corita?" Donald said.

"AHH! Why is this rock moving?" Corita said, holding onto the smooth stone as it moved back and forth.

"Don't worry. It's just another addition of magic spells Merlin has. Just keep jumping and don't look down!"

Donald and Corita jumped swiftly to the small island in the middle of the pond.

"That was stressful." Corita said.

"Let's go!" Donald said, pulling her along.

They entered the small house. Inside, it was quiet, serene and peaceful. The house seemed pretty much empty of all life.

"THIS is Merlin's house?" Corita asked Donald.

"He moves around a lot." Donald explained.

"Aha!" a voice said. Donald and Corita whirled around and saw an elderly man standing there. He wore blue robes and had a long beard.

"What brings you two here? Sorry about the place being empty, I was about to leave for a trip."

"Sorry to interrupt you." Donald said. "This is Corita, and she has some questions for you." Donald said, pushing Corita forward.

"Um, hi!" Corita said. "I'm Corita!"

The man nodded. "I'm Merlin. You had a question for me?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Oh, that's quite simple!" Merlin exclaimed.

"Really?" Corita asked.

"Of course! What you did was a cure spell, usually cast by a surge of emotion. It was your brother, right?"

"Yeah."

"Well, that explains it. You must be a Healer, then."

"A Healer?"

"A person who...well, heals."

Donald groaned.

"Something wrong, Donald?" Merlin asked.

"I'm supposed to be the only one who can cast magic around here!" Donald said.

"Well, don't worry. You cast the painful magic, and Corita here casts the healing magic." Merlin said.

Corita sat in thought for a moment. "So, I can't really control it?"

"Not now, you can't. Later, when you become stronger, you'll be able to cast it at will." Merlin said.

"This is all really confusing..." Corita said.

"Well, don't worry. If you have any more questions, I have a feeling you'll be coming to see me soon again anyway." Merlin said.

"Thank you for your help." Corita said.

"My pleasure." Merlin said.

Donald pulled Corita out of the house, saying that they should leave him to his packing.

"A Healer! I should have figured that out, it was quite simple, really! At least I can still cast spells that you'll never be able to! Ha! Now, where were we meeting Goofy and Sora?"

"Donald, please be quiet again. We're meeting them at the Accessory Shop in the First District."

"Of course! I knew that! I..."

"DONALD!"

"Okay, I'll be quiet."

~~That's all for now! Remeber to review! I'll try to get it in earlier next time during the summer!~~
