Chap. 4 The Mysterious Box
"Riku...wake up...Riku," Kairi shook him, "C'mon, get up already!"
"What?...Where are we?"
"I think we're in Traverse Town. Are you okay?"
"Uh...my head hurts..."
"You were hit pretty hard."
"Yeah, maybe we should look around a little."
They started walking around, but didn't see anyone.
"That's weird," said Riku.
"I know. Last time I was here, this place was swarming with people."
They opened the door to the Second District, but still didn't see any sign of civilization.
"Where is everybody?" Kairi began to worry.
"The heartless must've come here."
"That's not good."
They heard a whirling sound behind them and a boss heartless stood there.
"What is that thing?" Kairi stared at it.
"Don't worry. I'm think we can handle it..."
"Are you sure?"
"You'll need us," a voice said, "That's a Guard Armor, one of the most powerful heartless."
"Who's there?" asked Riku.
Then, Donald and Goofy appeared.
"We can help," said Goofy.
Kairi smiled, "Hey, thanks."
The Guard Armor came nearer, and they all attacked at once. The heartless spun around violently, using its whirlwind attack, hitting all of them.
"Ouch!" cried Kairi, "Does it have to hit so hard?"
"C'mon, Kairi. Don't be a wimp," Riku told her. She stared at him coldly.
Donald and Goofy used their magic, and the Guard Armor's arms and legs came off.
"Hurry! Destroy them!" yelled Donald.
Kairi and Riku did, and then everyone struck at the heartless' body. It vanished, leaving a box behind.
"I wonder what's in it," Goofy pondered.
"I can't open it. It's locked," Riku gave up.
"By the way," Donald wondered, "Where's Sora? We thought he would be with you."
"Not exactly...he-" Kairi was interrupted.
"We don't know where he is," Riku finished.
"I can show you," the box spoke.
Everyone was in shock.
"...if you find my key," it continued.
Everybody looked at the head of the Guard Armor. It was shaking. All of a sudden, it exploded, and the box did, too. On the floor now was a little screen. It had a green button. Goofy pushed it in curiosity.
"What would you wish to see?" it asked.
Kairi thought for a moment, then spoke, "We would like to see where Sora is..."
The screen jolted, and it showed a picture of an arena with heartless surrounding it. Sora was in the middle, and a sword was above him, ready to strike. Kairi closed her eyes...
