((Hiya wassup! I'm back again, and I have a new character named Drake. This character, like Edair, belongs to meh best friend Kaida))

Edair woke up and rubbed her head. "Oww…" she whispered, "Dang. I can't remember the last time my head cracked open. Oh wait. It's not opened. Heh heh. Maybe I should start paying more attention. I don't even pay attention."

She yawned and sat up. As she gazed around at her setting, she found out one thing for sure. She was no longer at Destiny Islands.

"Where the heck am I?" she whispered, "And why is everything brown? That's not right. Brown is icky. It should be blue! I like blue! Blue is purdey. Oh! Hello again."

The 'ant' was back again. It crawled up to her, squeaking pitifully.

"Oh. Come on. What's wrong?" Edair asked, picking it up. "What's wrong, Shadow?"

Shadow jumped out of her arms and started running away. After a few yards, it paused and glanced back at Edair, its antennae twitching nervously.

"Shadow?" Edair whispered, following the creature. "Where are you going? What's wrong?" She blinked and broke into a run as Shadow quickened its pace. Shadow headed towards a large brown door.

Edair skidded to a stop at the door. "Where are you taking me?" The 'ant' began knocking it's head against the door until it fell over, knocked out. Edair walked over and picked up the ant. "I guess I'm alone now."

Edair set the ant in her dark blue backpack. She sighed and put her long draping white sleeves together. She looked down at her shoes that were mostly covered by her dark blue pants. "Well," she whispered, "Here we go."

Edair stepped forward and pushed open the door, revealing a dark district. A shiver ran down her spine, but she continued going on. A star above her seemed to be glowing brighter, but it suddenly died down and was completely gone. Even though she didn't know what it meant, she knew that it couldn't be good.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Edair's eyes widened at the sound of a young teen's screech. "KALI!" she yelled, pulling out the Oathkeeper and running towards the sound, "Don't worry Kali I'm coming!" Shadow poked his head out of the backpack. "Is this what you were warning me about?"

She jumped off of the ledge and began running towards the sound. She swerved around a corner and ran straight for a small wooden door. "Kali are you in there?" she cried.

"Edair?" yelled a voice from the door, "Edair there you are! I'm stuck in here with all these Heartless and I don't know how to get out. The door is locked figure out a way to get me out of here!"

"Umm…" Edair whispered, glancing around, "Oh what can I do? Oh wait!" she smiled, grabbing the Oathkeeper that was slung across her back, "Let's see what this can do." She held the Oathkeeper tightly and flung it at the door.

The door shattered to pieces as the chamber that Kali was trapped in filled with light. Kali stood in there, batting at the ant like things with her Lionheart. She glanced at Edair when the door was busted.

"Now why didn't I think of that?" she growled, continuing to whack at the ants. "This is so not cool! Why are these things after me?"

"They're after me too," Edair whispered, "But they're not mean to me like they are to you."

Kali rolled her eyes. "They keep yelling at me, saying, 'Master wants you Master wants you'. Who is master?" She whacked the last of the Heartless away and stepped out to Edair. "Where are we?"

Edair shook her head. "I don't know. I really wish that I did. But look at this!" she smiled, holding up Shadow, "He's my friend!"

Kali shivered. "That's not a friend! That's the exact thing that attacked me! It's evil Edair."

"Shadow's not evil. He's cute."

Kali sighed. "There's just no arguing with you. Anyways, that thing is just like the Heartless that attacked me. What did you call it again?"

"His name is Shadow," Edair beamed.

"Okay. Well, there's obviously more Heartless like it, so we need to specify its species." She pulled out a notebook from her green backpack and began writing in it. First, she sketched out a very accurate drawing of the Heartless.

"Wow," Edair whispered, staring at the drawing, "Kali you never told me you were an artist!"

Kali shrugged. "When I woke up three years ago on the Destiny Islands, all I had next to me was a sketchbook. It was blank, but on the first page it said, 'To my daughter. You will make me very proud some day'. So I began to draw. Soon enough, I could draw a lot of things really well."

Edair smiled. "Cool. What are you doing?"

"Logging the Heartless." She smiled, reading out loud as she wrote in her journal, "Shadow. Heartless that emerge from various places. They sneak up to their enemies and strike them with sharp claws. They are extremely tenacious, often chasing their prey to the end."

"This little thing," Edair said, holding up the Shadow, "Is supposed to be evil?"

"Hey I got attacked by them. I know all about this type now. And that's just what they did. They chased me into that room and tried to kill me. Nasty little devils, no?"

Edair nodded. "Apparently. How many types of Heartless are there?"

"I don't know," Kali answered, "But we should keep track of them. We'll need to know our enemies if we want to fight them."

"The only problem is," Kali whispered sadly, "Where are we? And how do we get out of here? I'm so lost…"

"Maybe I can be of some assistance," said a serious voice. A boy with long white bangs and spiky hair stepped out of the shadows. He smirked, a hint of evil in his eyes, hands shoved in the pockets of his black jeans. "Just give me your Keyblades first."
