Chapter VIII: The New Journey

(Fira's New Powers: The Style Change)

Fira's back now and he's brought awhole new bag of tricks. Using the power of DRIVE X changes his costume right along with his Keyblade. With every new person he fuses with he gains new abilities and new cards. Fira also possess a DRIVE X card which he can utilize at any time.

Fira was running through the streets of Traverse town. He was in hot pursuit after a shadowy figure that ran atop the rooftops. Fira ran all the way down to district 2. Standing on the bell tower was a ninja like boy. He had on a silver uniform with a long torn up scarf around his neck.

(Author's Note: When looking at this guy think Ninja Gaiden)

" Hey you're the thief whose stealing all of the rare artifacts in the Accessory and Gummi shops aren't you?" Fira said pointing at him.

"What's it to you?" He asked holding a Gummi block.

" I just can't stand to watch an injustice take place before my eyes" Fira said.

" I hate little goody two shoes brats like you, always sticking your noses where it doesn't belong" The ninja guy said. " But I like you…The name's Zero…" He flipped down from the Bell Tower and landed on ground level where Fira was. Fira didn't draw his keyblade just merely stood there on guard.

"What are you going to try and stop me now?" He asked.

" Well I was going to save that option" Fira replied.

" Heh…" Zero smirked.

"Just give back what you stole and there won't be a need to fight" Fira said.

" Sorry kid, Once I steal something it's mine until somebody has the balls to step up and take it from me" Zero said. "It's a policy"

"Bad policy" Fira said.

"Eh whatever" Zero said standing in fighting position he put the Gummi block away.

(Fight Time)

Zero rushed Fira with three attack cards held out in his left hand and a giant Shuriken in his right hand. He spun it like a buzz saw. Fira pulled out five attack cards and used his Ars Arcanum sleight to break every card that Zero hand. Zero couldn't pull up any card stronger than Fira's sleight and suffered a number of hits from the Keyblade because of it.

Zero went flying backwards he flipped and landed back on his feet. He held up his Shuriken and tossed it at Fira it flew at him like a disk. Fira ran and slid under the Shuriken and the Shuriken flew into the wall and like rubber bounced off of the wall and flew back at Fira. The Shuriken struck Fira in the back and took all of his HP.

(Normal Mode…NOOO!)

"Ha…That was entertaining" Zero said catching the giant Shuriken. He put it away then disappeared into a tornado leaving nothing but leaves behind. Fira stood up on both feet and walked over to the small area where leaves laid around. He crouched down and picked up a leaf.

" He got away?" Utada asked.

" Yea" Fira said.

" Darn it…that's the fourth time this week" Utada said punching into her palm.

" I know… He's very illusive" Fira said as the both of them walked back side by side to District 1. They walked into district one to find Leon outside waiting for them.

" I take it you weren't able to recover the Gummi piece?" Leon asked.

" Nope" Fira said scratching his head.

" He's very illusive" Utada said looking down in shame.

" Damn that Zero" Leon said clenching his fist. " You two can go home now we're through for today"

" Okay" Fira yawned. " I'm tired"

" I know me too" Utada said.

They walked out of the front doors of Traverse town and walked on a dirt path that led to Winhill. Which is where they've been staying. Utada and Fira visited Winhill on Heartless Extermination, Utada really loved it Winhill, so Fira decided to stay. The mayor of the town gave them a house to live in as thanks for Fira sealing the Keyhole in their town.

For a living Fira and Utada go around the world helping out towns and villages by sealing Keyholes and clearing out Heartless. It was Fira's duty as the Keyblade Master and Utada's duty to watch after him. They walked home together and when they walked through the door alittle ball of fur rushed Utada and clung to her breast.

" It's about time you guys got home I don't like being here with that girl" The little ball of fur said. That was Mog, a moogle that Fira and Utada had befriended Moggy lives with them. A girl with blonde hair walked out.

" Thank you for watching after Mog" Utada said to the little girl.

" No problem" She said bowing and walking outside.

" Eh I'm goin to bed I'm tired" Fira said walking upstairs. Utada started to walk up to him but Mog flew up her and grabbed her hand.

" Utada I'm really hungry" Mog whined

" Okay" Utada sighed while smiling.

" Let's see what we got" Utada said as the both of them went into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and abunch of containers were on the inside. She pulled out a container with some extra food for Mog. When she closed the fridge there was a figure wearing a black suit standing there. Utada paused for asec then backed up while reaching for her Wakizashi. The man in the black suit grabbed her hand to spot her from drawing her sword. He pulled her close to him and covered her mouth to stop her from screaming. She kicked him in the crotch and the man in the black suit fell. When Utada turned around two more men in black suits were standing there… They grabbed her and put a strange mask on her face. Utada fell out and they picked her up and left. Mog just stood there frozen solid…She waited until after the men had left to fly up to the room.

" FIRA! FIRA!" She shouted. The little moogie flew into the room to see Fira in deep sleep. She jumped on his back while screaming. Fira jumped up and hit his head on the ceiling then landed on the bed.

"Ow dammit Mog this better be good" Fira said rubbing his forehead.

" Utada…she's been Summoner napped" Mog said.

"What?" Fira said. Suddenly five dark figures flew past the window leaving black feathers behind. Fira had spotted Utada unconscious in the hands of one of the men. He ran and jumped through the window breaking the glass and everything. He landed on the ground with his Keyblade out.

" Utada!" Fira shouted running off in the direction of the dark angel men. He kept running after them with Mog flying by his side. Fira ran all the way out of town out into the middle of nowhere, he ran until the sun came up they flew higher up and he lost sight of them. He stopped completely and dropped to his knees…

"Utada oh no" Mog said starting to cry.

" Damn who were those guys?" Fira said standing up out of breath.

" I dunno they just showed up in the house and they took her" Mog said.

" We gotta find her" Fira said.

" Your right" Mog said. "But where to start"

" Traverse Town come on" Fira said running off towards the town.

Kiako O

Walking around on the beach was Kiako. She trailed her feet along the sand thinking of nothing in particular. She ran her toes through the sand while watching the sun rise. Suddenly four men in black suits appeared behind her. Kiako couldn't detect them until it was too late. One of them wrapped their arm tightly around her neck while another grabbed her waist and body and another grabbed her legs.

" What the?" Kiako said twisting her body all the way around knocking all of them back. She flipped backwards while attaching cards to her gauntlets. Two of the men in suits looked at the other two and shook their heads. The two they were looking at shook their heads too and headed up the mountain side to Besaid Village to collect Kuro.

Both of the men black suits rushed Kiako, Kiako ran towards them and drop kicked the first one and grabbed the other by the head and tossed him. The one whom was kicked flipped around and landed on his feet. He cracked his neck and like a zombie came back for more. The one she tossed was still floating in the air… He pulled out a 3 cards and performed a strange sleight. Suddenly these chains shot up from the ground wrapping around Kiako. They walked up to Kiako and put a black mask over her face.

(Meanwhile)

(Fight Time)

Kuro O

An explosion of Flare and Fist clashed further up the mountain in Kuro's training area. Kuro was facing off with these two men in black suits as well. Kuro attempted to cast Firaja! But she was disturbed by one of the men in black's Sleights the Thrust Punch. He struck Kuro in the stomach and the energy traveled right through her like a hot knife through butter. Kuro then dropped down passed out from the intense amount of power.

(Normal Mode…What The Hell?)

They took both Kiako and Kuro then flew off somewhere far above the clouds.
