Chapter Three: Restoration
Sora offered Adrian a hand as he removed the tendrils of chaos. "Now Sora, before you learn how to travel to the other worlds, you must go and restore Traverse Town to the way it used to be." Adrian said, as he accepted Sora's hand and got up.
"What do you mean by restore it?" Sora asked.
"Well, since you have been gone about five years the heartless have had no target to gather to and attack, so they have turned to Traverse Town and the other worlds they used to be in and have begun to attack those worlds." Adrian told Sora.
"But wait. What I don't understand is how on earth the heartless escaped the door and were able to come after me?" Sora asked.
"Well, what happened was the doorway had a keyhole that was never fully sealed. You see there are many keyblades that are modified by different key chains. Rikku's keyblade was the Keyblade of Darkness while my keyblade is the Keyblade of Chaos. But yours is the silver keyblade. It is superior to all other keyblades, except for the gold keyblade which is carried by King Mickey. The doorway can only be fully sealed by the gold keyblade, which is the master keyblade and is the most powerful. So by having Mickey being locked on the opposite end of the door, where there is no keyhole the door, it could never truly be sealed." Adrian explained.
"Wow, that's complicated." Sora said, with a perplexing look on his face.
"That is just the beginning of what I have to tell you Sora." Adrian said.
"What else do you need to tell me?" Sora responded.
"I will only tell you what you need to know now. I'll tell you the rest after we have restored Traverse Town." Adrian said. "Follow me and I'll take you there." Adrian then flew through the chaos, until he reached a huge sphere which looked like Traverse Town. "Sora take my hand." Adrian commanded, as he held out his hand. Sora took it and they both stepped into the sphere.
The next thing Sora knew, he was staring at the shops in Traverse Town and sunset was rapidly approaching. "What do I do?" questioned Sora as he summoned his keyblade.
"You must fight them off until the sun sets. We then must appoint a guardian as we go on a journey." Adrian replied, as he summoned his keyblade too. "Sora, just don't let them access your heart or else we're screwed." Adrian called as he ran towards the approaching shadows. Sora soon followed, summoning the power of chaos magic and storing it in the keyblade. Then the shadows arose.
As the shadows arose from the ground Sora couldn't but help saying, "Damn, there goes another perfectly good sunset." He then laced the chaos power in his blade with that of the spell Thundaga and brought down thousands of lightning blots from the sky, creating a massacre among the ranks of the shadows. Then all of a sudden, tendrils of chaos pulled the rest of the shadows under into pit. Soon, the sun set and the battle was over.
"We must find the keyhole again, Sora." Adrian called, as he was running to another part of the town. Sora ran right after him, and soon they reached the keyhole. "Get ready for another wave!" Adrian called, as he stuck his keyblade into the keyhole and turned it. "There, now we'll have less heartless to fight." Adrian mumbled. Soon another wave came through and they fought them all off. Wave after wave came and each one fell to the power Sora's keyblade.
"Anytime you want to help let me know." Sora called; annoyed that Adrian just sat there, keyblade across his lap. Then, out of nowhere the hole had a stopper through it. "What did you do?" Sora asked and Adrian got up.
"I created a temporary cork to the keyhole so no one can go in or out. This way it is safe for us to get the new guardian and give him his duty." Adrian responded, "Now, let's go and find the guardian for this place and fix it up while we're at it."
The next few days, Sora and Adrian fixed up the town returning the ruble to the glory it had once been.
"Adrian, how will we find the guardian?" Sora questioned as he put another neon sign back up.
"He will reveal himself to us; we just need to speed up the process." Adrian said. "I know we can hold a fighting tournament!" Adrian said.
"What will that do but give me a chance to practice my powers?" Sora asked, as he got down off of a ladder.
"I will know when the guardian reveals himself." Adrian told Sora as he put down his hammer and nails. "After all, he will be able to tap into the power of chaos whether or not he knows it." Adrian finished. From then on, Adrian and Sora told all the fighters in Traverse Town to come to the main courtyard, in the third district, to attend the tournament.
It was the day of the tournament and many fighters had come to win the glory of the unknown title they were to receive for winning. The preliminary rounds were over within the day leaving four fighters left. These were Leon, Sora, Yuffie, and Cryra.
The next day, the semi-final matches were about to begin. The size of the arena had been set, and the whole town had come to watch the battles. The first match was Yuffie vs. Sora. "Take your place fighters, and remember this is a 1 v. 1 match, so outside help disqualifies you. Leaving the ring also disqualifies you as well." Adrian announced. "Now let the battles commence!"
"So Sora, how are you going to fight without a weapon?" Yuffie called.
"Like this." Sora yelled, as he summoned his keyblade. Within a moment, he had run right behind Yuffie and hit her.
"Ow!" Yuffie called and she turned around. But by the time she had, Sora was already gone. So she jumped in the air and spun throwing her knives everywhere. She then spotted Sora and stopped. She fell back to the ground, but never hit it. Instead, she fell halfway into a pit of chaos. The pit closed except for around her body where, it kept a tight lock on her.
He put his keyblade to her throat and said, "Game, set, and match." He then lifted Yuffie up out of the pit, and helped her to her feet. "Nice try." Sora said, as he walked out of the arena.
Next, it was Leon vs. Cryra. Cryra was in a dark cloak, and carried a wing like sword. As he entered the arena, he didn't take the cloak off as it hid his eyes.
I saw Sora standing there talking to a man, with white hair and a silver cloak on. I knew Sora had to have been corrupted by the darkness by the man. I also knew who he was. His little disguise, he had tried that on me too. I just had to protect the key barer from Ansem.
Leon pulled out his gunblade ready to fight. He heard the words called by Adrian and reacted immediately. He ran towards the stranger who had been in Traverse Town for about a month now, but when he got there though the man had left. He turned around in a circle but didn't spot him. He then felt the sword hit his head.
