Chapter 5 – Gemini City

"Tinkerbell fluttered over the two teenagers as they crept deeper into the city or darkness. It was completely silent and seemed like it had been empty for years. Kairi walked behind Sora noticing small figures move in the shadows and began to speak but thought it was just her imagination. Sora too had thought he had seen something but shoved the thought out his brain as he carried his Ultima key blade at his chest and surveyed the area. Then there was a roar of thunder. Clouds started to cover the already darkened sky and small gust of wind blew leaving the smell of rain and mist. Sora looked up and sighed. "Looks like were gonna get a little soaked....." he said sarcastically. He turned around and looked at her. She was looking at the sky also trying to look for something. He stared at her. "She has pretty eyes..... He thought. "but they look nothing less of sadness... I wonder why?" He stopped letting thoughts take over his mind and came back into reality. "Are you ok?" He asked with concern. Kairi's head jolted back down and she looked at him surprised. "Oh yes I just let my day dreaming get the best of me." She chuckled. "Yea well I think we better find a place to rest Im beat." Sora said "You can day dream all you want there...." She placed her elbow on his shoulder. "Whats a matter afraid there's something out here?" Kairi said with a playful tone in her voice. Sora's face turned serious. "If you really want to know the truth.. then the answer is yes." Kairi's smile turned into a look of concern. She withdrew her Oblivion KeyBlade and scanned the area. "Can you sense them?" she asked noticing that the moving shadows were moving closer. "Yea but the weird thing is... I don't really know what Im sensing..." He replied "What do you mean? She asked. Some times you say the dumbest stuff Sora." "No Kairi it's not that... when I sensed them I don't sense sadness, hatred, or despair... like I do in the Heartless." Kairi looked up. "What do you sense then?" she asked with a voice of misunderstanding. "Nothing...... just a blank line of nothing." Sora replied confused. "It doesn't make sense... all living things have a kind of emotion.. even Heartless." Kairi put her back against his. "Maybe these aren't Heartless....." Sora's eyes grew wide. "Run!" He started running down the dark deserted street pulling Kairi with him, looking around them only to find that the shadows were moving closer every second. Tinkerbell sat on Sora's head watching him wit an exhausting look on her face. Sora looked up and forgot he had summoned her and resummoned her to take a rest. The faintly lit area then turned into complete darkness and the place suddenly became cold and damp. They continued to run faster hearing things be knocked over an the sound of trash being stepped on in the darkness, closer than ever wondering "What's coming after us?! And what do they want?!" At that moment Kairi tripped and fell with a small scream. Sora stopped and helped her up but she didn't walk. "What's wrong?" he asked quickly. Kairi had a pained look on her face. "Its nothing...." She responded she tried to walk on it but fell again. Sora stopped her fall and put her on his shoulders. "Put your arms around my neck and hold on.... This is gonna be a bumpy ride." He continued running as fast as he could hearing the footsteps now behind him coming closer at an increasing rate. Kairi looked behind him to look for any clues of what were chasing them, but darkness was all she could see. Sora stumbled over a rock and fell on his stomach. "Sora are you Ok? Sora?!" Kairi yelled tapping him on his back. He clenched his teeth and lifted Kairi back into his shoulders and continue to run farther north, noticing the footsteps were so close he thought he could here the breathing of the unknown specimen. Sora was getting tired and carrying Kairi wasn't helping at all, but the continuous footsteps heard behind him gave him the strength to keep going on. He felt Kairi shiver and hold on tighter to him as the noise increased. "Don't worry Kairi I won't let anyone hurt you..." he whispered. She nodded her head. At that moment Sora heard a voice. "They have you surrounded!!" "Huh?" Out of nowhere the unknown monster jumped out of the darkness an attacked them. Sora thought it was over because he had his key blade put up, but then a blaze of fire zoomed straight passed them. It cut through the monster leaving burning ashes to desinigrate. Then Sora noticed it was a person attacking the monster. It was a boy with 2 spikes grown out of his arm. He stopped and turned around. "Follow me..." he began to run off. "Sora followed him around corners and turns and then the boy disappeared. He looked around confused. "Did you see where he went?" he asked Kairi. She shook her head. "No... he just vanished." He walked a couple of steps then fell down a gigantic hole. "aHaHaHaH!"

Sora woke up in a dimly lit room on a well-used homemade bed. He sat up quickly. "Kairi!?" He called out. "So that's her name..." a voice called out from behind him. Sora turned around. "Who are you?" he asked. The figure stepped into the light. "Really... you forgot the person who saved your life already?" he asked. Sora scratched his head. "Just call me Zack." The boy had silver hair with black streams, sort of mixed between skin tones, not that much shorter than Sora either. "Well I'm...." "Sora.... Zack interrupted. She told me about you before she went to sleep. She seemed very worried." Sora looked down and saw Kairi sleeping with a bandage around her leg. "Is she OK?" he asked worried. "Yeah I think so, except she has a broken ankle. Zack answered She won't be able to walk for a little while....." Sora looked up. Exactly why are you helping us?? Sora asked cautiously. Zack looked up. "Well I'm a orphan, And I've been living on my own since I was 5. So basically I know how it feels not to be helped. I do not want any people to feel what I have felt most of my life. So I help people. You catching on yet?" "Yea I think so" Sora responded. Zack through Sora a power bar. "Here you must be hungry, I could hear your stomach growling from miles away!" They laughed. "Hey I'll be right back I have to go get something OK?" Zack said. Sora looked up quickly. "What do you mean you can't go out there with those things chasing you." "Don't worry I've been fighting Quensils all my life." He replied calmly. "What are Quensils?" Sora asked. Zack looked at him curiously. "You're joking right?" He said with some humor in his voice. "No I'm serious... Zack looked at him with a dumbfound look. "You have never heard of a Quensil!?" where have you been a different world or something?" He started laughing. Sora thought. "Maybe I am in a different World....." he shook at the thought. "Well if you really wanna know, Quensils are those monsters that were chasing you here, Nasty little beast too. They come in packs like dogs and leave bones like piranhas. "What are they?" Sora asked. Zack paused. "Nobody really knows... I know one thing though when they came here to Gemini City they sure did take over." He sighed and looked around. "Back around 5 years ago this use to be a beautiful city full of happy faces and tourist. Now its nothing more than a pile of ruins left 2 erode away with time." "Why did you stay here?" Sora asked "Well to tell you the truth I really didn't have a choice. You see when I was an infant my mother left me at a foster home because she couldn't take care of me. So I was raised there till I turned 5 and then I was adopted. I was so happy then." Zack's fist clenched together as he felt anger build up inside him. "But the family that adopted me used me like a dog, to do their bidding an act as if I were a slave to them. I went through repeated abuse at their hands and wasn't able to do nothing about it!" He punched the wall fiercely and let out a howl of anger. Sora stood up and looked at him with concern. "I'm sorry Zack... I didn't mean to bring up bad memories..." Sora apoligized." Zack looked at him and calmed down. "About around my 9th birthday that's when the Quensil's came. They raided my house and killed my foster family in my own eyes while I hid in the closet. They would have got me too but my foster father and mother kept them away from me." He sighed. "I guess they weren't ruthless after all." Sora looked down at Kairi as she moved and stirred in her sleep. Zack continued. "Then one day I saw this door... it was in the middle of the living room." Sora's eyes grew big. I opened it and out of nowhere I obtained these blade bangles." He put his arms up and showed 2 silver bangles, Then the bangles projected a blue colored looking energy blade. "these weapons are different from the normal guns and swords though. They are the only things that could kill the Quensil's. So I took it upon myself protect the city and destroy any evil that I should cross with. And that's my story..." All was quiet for a moment. Sora began to speak but realized he had nothing to say. Zack spoke again. "I'll be gone for a couple of hours so get some rest if you need to." Sora nodded his head. Zack smiled. "Go ahead make your self at home my house is your house." He turned around and headed out the secret corridor. Sora sat down beside Kairi and started to doze off. Right when he was bout to fall asleep she woke up and called his name. "Whoa... its about time sleepy head..." Sora said playfully. Kairi sat up smiled. She then grabbed her ankle in pain. "Man those creatures sure did do a toll on me." She said. Sora sat down beside her. "Hey it could of been worse, I mean if Zack wasn't there who knows what would of happened." He said. "Yea maybe... she replied. Where Is he anyway?" "He left a while ago.. Sora said. He's an OK guy too..." Kairi shivered and scooted closer to Sora. She then put her head on his shoulder. "Sora....where are we? And how did we get here?" she asked. He shrugged. "I don't know I'm as stumped as you. Best thing to do is to get out this crazy city and explore this New World. What do you say?" Kairi looked up at him. "Sure as long as you stay with me.." She smiled. He smiled back. All was quiet for a couple of minutes. Then Sora noticed Kairi had fell asleep on his shoulder. He layed her head down gently on a pillow and found a spot were he could sleep.

Mean while

"Dammit you guys just don't give up do you?!" Zack yelled at the group of Quensil's as they lunged at him for another attack. He jumped over two dodged another and slashed at the last one decapitating him. The Quensil's lined back up for another attack. He turned around and smiled. "Attack again if you want to..." they then launched at him at full speed. "Imbeciles........" Zack then concentrated all off his energy to his Blade bangles then unleashed his Razzle Dazzle spin attack. He began spinning at incredible speed and lunged his Blade Bangles at the attacking Quensil's. One by one they were sliced and shredded into nothing. "Heh... when will they learn." He laughed and shook his head, then ran off to the old police station. As he got there he noticed right away that more Quensil's were lurking in the shadows. "Force!" He yelled as he used his favorite magic spell and knocked the old creaking doors of the hinges. He ran inside and scanned the area. "Damn... where did they put the secret map?" that's when he heard her cold evil voice. "Oh do you mean this map?" A mysterious voice called from behind him. He turned around quickly. "Hey just who the hell are you?!" he yelled "And give me that map while your at it!" It was Kalstella. She laughed as she held the map out in front of Zack. "Is this what your looking for? I'm afraid I have uses for my child so you cannot have it.. unless you want to try to take it by brute force." She smiled and began to laugh. Zack put a smirk on his face. "Woman you don't know what you have gotten your self into." He then lunged at her for an attack, But she moved out the way with ease and began to pulverize him with her metal fighting stick. He got back up with a busted lip and bruises all over his face and ribs and prepared for a different approach. He used his special speed attack and ran between time at her, But she seemed to know exactly where he was gonna strike every time he attempted to hit her. She then used thunderaga and knocked him back into a old dusty wall. "Who the hell is this lady!?" Zack thought curiously. "She has incredible power... she can't be a human." Kalstella laughed at him and exstended her blades out the side of her fighting stick. "Time to clean up..." She said evilly. "Uh oh... I can't beat her alone..." Zack thought. "Next time we meet you won't be so lucky woman!" Zack looked for another escape route for Kalstella was blocking the front door he saw an old window and dived through it in just the nick of time. Kalstella swung her bladed staff and cut deeply into Zack's leg. As he dived through the window he let out a cry of pain and grabbed his leg. Once out the window and on the ground he knew he needed to start running. If this crazy woman that was chasing after him didn't kill him the Quensil's would. He took his bandanna out his pocket and tied it around his leg wound to stop the bleeding. He winced in pain as he stood up and started limping back to the safety of his so called home. Kalstella walked out the old building with a serious look on her face. "Heartless! Rise and attack!" She yelled out and hundreds of heartless started to appear from everywhere. "Heartless!?" Zack thought. "Oh man I'm in trouble!" He attempted to run faster but tripped and fell. He saw the Heartless gather around him, and could hear footsteps of the Quensil's galloping over to rip him apart. He sighed and thought, "This is the end....." He began to close his eyes and wait for the final blow, but instead a key blade hurled into the closest Heartless and destroyed it immediately. "Huh a keyblade?" He said. Zack turned and saw Sora running towards him dodging heartless and using magic on following Quensil's. Sora picked up his key blade and began to destroy approaching heartless left and right and use magic on the left behind monsters. Sora looked down at Zack and smiled. "I thought you said you been doing stuff like this your whole life?" he said sarcastically. "Sora you basterd I'm gonna kick your ass if we live through this." Zack said chuckling Sora helped him up. "Yeah that's the key word..... IF we live through this.'
