Chapter 7: Darkness
Ari was standing on the Destiny Islands. Alone, all alone. She couldn't see anyone, not for miles. The sky was dark with black rain clouds. Rain pelted hard on her body and face, and yet, she didn't feel a thing.
"Riku! Sora! Kairi! Where are you guys?!?" she yelled, but no one answered.
A bolt of lightning flashed, and a huge shadow was cast over the Destiny Islands. Heartless began to pull themselves out of the wet ground, but these weren't the Heartless Ari was used to seeing.
The shadows' once small and feeble bodies had somehow been changed into their now large and muscular forms.
Ari stared at the cold, wet sand. "Keyblade..." she whispered to herself.
A blinding light flashed around Ari's right hand, and when the light faded, a keyblade was in its place.
The keyblade looked almost exactly like the Ultima Weapon. It was mainly dark blue and black, with bits of silver scattered around the keyblade's handle.
Everything else on the keyblade was pretty much the same as in the game, except its keychain. The keychain looked like a royal blue paopu fruit with silver on its edges and a silver leaf.
"You better get ready." Ari said as she charged into the group of Heartless.
Ari fought for what seemed like endless hours. Through these hours, the rain never ceased, it only became harder and harder, drenching Ari and slowing her down.
The battle between Ari and the Heartless never seemed to end. For every shadow she defeated, at least five more came to take its place.
Ari started becoming tired. A mix of sweat and rain fell off of her forehead. She was greatly outnumbered now, with Heartless circled around her. Ari felt like giving up, but she knew she couldn't, not for anything.
When she was about to take a step forward, the ground beneath Ari opened up, and she fell, headlong, into darkness.
Ari started to forget things, like where she came from, and who she was.
And then, her chest seared with pain as her heart was enveloped in darkness......
