Chapter 2

It was almost too fast to see, as the BHK leapt up to the wall and ran along it cutting down the Heartless from almost every angle. Both Keyblades were spinning rapidly like some sort of out of control windmill. Finally, in one spectacular move involving an off-the-wall back flip, the last of the shadows was taken down, leaving Namine open-mouthed. "How…what…how on earth did you do that?" she finally managed to spit out. "I don't know. Ever since you told me about the Keyblade, I felt some other power within me, it quieted me down and I just concentrated, thought about what I needed to do, and all of a sudden, this other Keyblade was in my hand and I just sort of went to town." He said all of this with an equal look of confusion on his face. "Well, it looks as if you are certainly able to defend yourself. Why don't we skip the training part, and I'll tell you what you do from here" she said. "Okay." "Now, remember when we talked last time? I told you about a boy named Sora, remember?" she asked him. He replied, "Yeah, you said I have to find him, right?" "Right." "How am I supposed to find him, when I don't even know where to look?" "There is a road outside of this castle. I have been down it before. It leads to a place called Twilight Town." "Walk down the road until you get there, and once you're there, you'll find three people about the same age as us. They're waiting for you. They'll ask you a question: do you know where he is? "Your password" is 'I'm here to find him'." "That's so they can identify you." He nodded his head in agreement, but still wasn't quite sure of everything. "So, are you coming with me?" he asked her, now somewhat concerned for her safety after the Heartless had somehow managed to infiltrate the castle.

"I can't right now, but I will join you soon" she said this seeing the worried look cross his face. "I'll be alright, I promise." And so, BHK left Castle Oblivion and Namine, and began the journey down the path to Twilight Town. After two days journey, his stomach panging with hunger, he finally reached the outskirts to Twilight Town. The first thing that was on his mind was not finding the three people that Namine said would be waiting for him, but rather to get some food. He stepped into what looked enough like a restaurant to him, and found a booth and sat down. After telling the kind waitress what he wanted, which consisted of practically everything on the menu except one or two items, he sat, thinking, and waited patiently. All the while, he was mulling what Namine had told him and the Heartless attacking all over in his mind. Where are these three that I'm supposed to meet? And how, exactly are they going to help me find Sora? What if the Heartless show up again?

While he was thinking about all this, his food came, and he gave the waitress a kind, thankful smile, and started eating the moment his food hit the table. At this exact moment, three teenagers, who looked to be about his age, came in whispering to each other about something that seemed to be rather important. As soon as the "leader" of the group saw him, he pointed to him, and began frantically whispering again to the others. They came over to the booth where he was sitting and the leader asked him, "Do you know where he is?" Remembering that Namine said this was the code that they would identify him with, he replied, "I'm here to find him." "That's him" the leader said to the others. "We're here to help you." "How did you know where to find me?" the BHK asked with confusion. "Namine told us." "After you're done eating, follow us to the train and it'll take us to our meeting place."

Onboard the Train

"So, you're the ones that are going to help me find Sora?" the blonde boy asked them. "Yes. We do not know exactly where he is, but we have a way of finding out." As their leader was explaining this, something came over the BHK, and he sort of dived in and out of consciousness…almost like in a never-ending dream. "I can show you where he is…all you must do is join with us. We can take you to him." "Are you listening?" The mysterious voice reverberated inside his mind like a loud, clanging gong. Soon, he was washed back to his senses. "Sorry, I was…thinking about something." With everything that had gone on, the train had reached its stopping point, which also happened to be close to the location of the young group's hide out. Our hero stepped out into a fading sunset, although this sunset seemed to be stuck in one spot, as it did not set. The town was forever bathed in an angelic glow of twilight.

"So, this is why they call it Twilight Town huh?" he asked the group. "Yeah" said the leader. "It's beautiful huh?" "Yeah, it really is." He looked up, and saw a magnificent clock tower with two large bells on either side of it, almost like a pair of ears. "Is this your hideout?" he asked them, still in awe of the amazing clock. "Yeah, it's up at the very top of the tower. Sometimes, we like to go out and sit out on the tower and watch the sun. It comforts us." "By the way, what's your name? I forgot to ask you on the train." "I don't remember. I lost my memory, so I don't know who I am anymore." "Oh that's horrible!" one of the other members of the group said with a start. "Well," said the leader, "you've got blonde hair. What if we just call you Blonde?" "Yeah, that would work I guess." "Good, I'm Mark, that's Sarah, and that guy over there is Flash." The other two waved at him and smiled. He really was beginning to like them, and on the bright side, he wasn't alone anymore. All he had to do now was find Sora.

"Listen," Mark said with some concern. "The Organization is after you. Namine told us that Axel was going to come to find you and try to keep you from getting to Sora. Obviously, he knows that you're here to find him, and he's going to try anything and everything to keep that from happening." "It sounds as if Namine is going to be trying to get us top secret information on what's going on with the Organization. Axel still trusts her after all."

Meanwhile…

"Axel, we need to get to her before she can help him find Sora". "I know that, I just have to find out a way to do it."The Organization was meeting somewhere inside Castle Oblivion trying to plan their next move against Sora, the BHK, and Namine. "I know" One of them said. "What if we can trick Sora and the blonde kid into fighting over Namine? That way, they'll be too busy messing around with each other to notice whom it is they're trying to help!" Axel responded. "I like it! And I know just what to do!"
