Chapter 3: The Beginning of the End
Sora ran towards the opposite side of the island. He was glad to be back. The easy life was just… boring for him, and he liked the adventures. He stopped running, and turned around. There was one of the Gilanders.
The Gilanders were a larger heartless than most. They had long ears and resembled something of a dog. They had no mouth but made up for it in claws… The claws were about the most intimidating feature about them. Sora guessed that these heartless appeared just after the locking of the last keyhole. But he wasn't exactly certain either…
Sora took off and ran top speed at the heartless. One Gilander wasn't what had stopped him in traverse town…It had been hundreds… So he figured this was going to be an easy fight. The heartless was amazingly fast for its size and caught Sora a little off guard with a strike, quickly dodging. "Holy shit! Your pretty fast ya know?" The thing seemed not to hear. Sora knew what he was up against now so he wouldn't make another mistake. The heartless bounded at him again, but this time, it was different, he disappeared. "Whoa…learned some new tricks since last time haven't you." Sora stood looking around. "Where'd he g…." and Sora was cut off by a hard slam in the side. "DAMMIT…" sora scolded himself. He fell hard on the ground, a bloody gash screaming at him. "That's enough…" Sora hissed. "I'm tired of playing games…" The Gilander didn't even have time to scream before Sora sliced it in half. The heartless disappeared again…but this time…it wasn't coming back. Sora waited for a minute for the pain to die off… Then swung the keyblade back over his shoulder and took off again.
When Sora got to what they called "Town," things seemed normal. "Donald! Goofy! Where are you?" he shouted.
"Sora! Over here!" he heard a loud cry from Goofy. Sora headed over to where the yell had come from. He looked stunned, seeing just about seven Gilanders heading toward Donald, Goofy, and other inhabitants of the island. Sora readied himself… He shot off head first at the seven heartless. They turned and bounded after him, swinging their claws. Sora jumped high, landing behind them, and before they could turn around he slashed two of them. Sora then made his way over to the other side cutting two more of them down. Sora was just beginning to feel proud when a claw slashed his back, and his hopes. He went down. Sora just lay there, the remaining three heartless surrounding him… His keyblade had fallen from his grasp. He wondered… "Great, Sora…once again your going to let everyone down…You were so close…And yet you give up now?" And then he heard Rikku's voice. "Come on Sora…you're stronger than this…" "No…You won't beat me again…." Sora whispered. He jumped up stretching out his hand letting the keyblade appear. Sora performed Ars Arcanum on one of the heartless sending it flying back into the nearest wall. Then he headed after the last two. They both disappeared… "Not again…" he waited one second and slashed behind himself. He listened to the sound of one of the heartless smashing onto the ground. Sora turned around waiting for the other one. He dashed towards the wall of one of the buildings. Just then the heartless appeared behind him. Running full speed Sora jumped…and kicked off the wall spinning the keyblade like a bat out of hell. It hit the heartless and it fell onto the ground. Not disappearing. "Huh? What's up with you?" Sora watched as the heartless stood up and came after him again… "hmm…TRY THIS!" Sora used Sonic and ripped through the heartless appearing behind him. Turning around he threw his keyblade. It cut into the heartless spilling blood all over the ground. Sora held out his hand and the keyblade appeared back into its master's hand. "Take that….bitch…"
