"Keep it up!" yelled Donald taking out another heartless with his staff. The trio had been fighting heartless for five minutes straight with no end in sight.

"Gawrsh," said Goofy," There sure are a lot of them."

Sora ran his keyblade through three heartless, and swung it around and took out two more. Sweat was starting to run down his face.

"If we don't do something soon," said Goofy taking out two more," We're not gonna make it." The heartless suddenly stopped and looked off in the distance. They all disappeared in a black cloud like they usually do.

"I wonder what that was all about?" said Donald casting cure on the party.

A yell came from around were the cove was and sounds of a fight were heard.

"Come on!" yelled Sora running in the direction of the sound. The three ran around the corner and were met with a scene of horror. Roark was there with about everyone that was on the exploration team, they all had guns. Three of the soldiers had Kida detained, and Roark was having a conversation with Milo.

"Stay out of sight," whispered Donald pulling Sora back behind a rock. They tree continued to listen, but all they heard was the sound of everyone leaving. Sora looked out and saw that everyone in the area was heading toward the king's throne room.

"Come on," said Sora jumping out," We have to help Milo."

"Hang on," said Donald walking out," there's no way you can take that many heartless with the Kingdom Key."

Sora looked down at his keyblade.

"I guess your right," Sora replied taking out his other key chains and looking through them. He decided to go with the Metal Chocobo, brute force. He unclipped the Kingdom Key chain and replaced it with the small chain with the yellow bird as the charm. The key blade went from silver and yellow, to dark grey and red and grew about a foot.

"Let's go," said Sora going into his battle stance.

Leon spread a map out over the kitchen table. They had marked all the worlds they knew of.

"Okay," said Leon scanning it carefully," Cid was able to whip this map up for us to use. Here's the coliseum." He pointed to a white dot that was labeled. He slid his finger to the right, then up.

"They should be right about," he suddenly pulled left," here." He pointed to an unmarked dot.

"Are you positive that is correct?" asked Vincent taking a look at the map.

"Not 100." said Yuffie joining in," All this is pretty new, so it's give and take."

Vincent turned and started walking toward the door.

"Oh no you're not Vinnie," yelled Aerith walking into the room," We haven't seen you in God knows how long! You're at least staying the night!" She suddenly went back to her sunny self and pulled Vincent into the hallway," Now let me show you your room."

Leon watched as Aerith dragged Vincent into the main hallway and a smile slid across his face.

"We sure have missed him," said Yuffie putting her arms around Leon.

"I imagine you have," said Leon, the thought of a lost love drifted into his mind. A long silence followed, and then Yuffie spoke up.

"What's wrong?" she asked in an inquisitive voice looking up at Leon.

"Nothing," said Leon as the look of sadness and wonder snapped off his face, he cleared his throat to signal a change of subject," Where's Kairi?"
