Hi! This is the last chapter of part two. I know, the parts are short, but they'll get longer, especially once Sabrina gets to Traverse Town. How, you say? Well, this chapter tells you. Oh, and Janika, I'm answering each of your reviews separately.
Janika 1: About Sora's name… Yes, it's weird for a boy. I noticed that when I played the game. Sora, Riku, and Kairi are actually from a different world in the game, but I put them in America for my story. And yes, he is.
Janika 2: Displaced air sounds like a loud pop. Sorry I didn't say that. And the knight is actually a lowly, easy to beat bad guy. They are called Soldiers in the game, for some strange reason. And the shadow is one of the shadow Heartless things, called Shadows(how original) in the game.
Janika 3: They are after HIM because he is the Bearer of the Keyblade. Leon tells you more in chapter, oh, eight. You'll just have to wait. The connection is… There is none. Tidus was, basically, an innocent bystander. That's what Heartless do. The show no discrimination, except for Sora. They'll go after him first, usually. Yeah, well… My characters tend to do stupid things. (Way back when I first started The Thin Line… Jenny jumping into the portal… Ring a bell?) And, I laughed hysterically when I read the last part. Yes, Kairi is a princess, but you aren't supposed to know that. Even though everyone else does. (In the game, there are seven Princesses of Heart. The other six are from Disney movies, except Kairi.)
If you have anymore questions, just ask. Or you can wait and see how this unfolds... Shaved ice for anyone who reads! No toys today...
Chapter V
Sabrina woke up in a cold sweat around midnight. She sat up, looking around. Something was wrong. She got up out of bed and got dressed, then focused her thoughts. A giant group of Heartless were forming in the forest, more than she had ever fought all at once. That's why there were so few today.
Sabrina crept outside, jumping into the air and flying towards the forest. Sabrina landed exactly where the Heartless should have been, but she could see none around. Suddenly remembering, she looked down. The ground was completely black.
Sabrina jumped into the air just as a massive Heartless came into existence. What Sabrina had thought was a large group was in fact one almighty Heartless. Darkside.
Darkside was a giant human-like Heartless, standing taller than most buildings. Its hair was long tendrils of darkness, nothing on its face but malevolent yellow eyes. Its torso is mostly a giant gap in the shape of a heart. A pair of tiny torn batwings were upon it's back.
Despite it's size, Sabrina attacked its face. It summoned more Shadows, but Sabrina wasn't worried much about them. She didn't even see them leave. All she could think about was beating the awful thing in front of her.
Ignoring blasts of darkness pounding at her back from the heart of the Darkside, she kept on slashing it's face and eyes. It was much stronger than any other Heartless she had faced before. She had begun to think she couldn't beat it when, to her astonishment, one eye collapsed in on itself. With newfound energy, she slashed the other eye, now taking care to dodge what was blasted at her. Finally, it fell backwards, but didn't blow up into black smoke. Instead, it sank into the ground, the darkness of it disappearing. Sabrina turned back home, exhausted but happy. At least, until she got into town.
Sabrina landed in the street as the sun started to rise. She soon realized that something was wrong. Terribly wrong. She ran to her house and into her parent's bedroom. The bed lay made, but no one was home. She ran around the whole town, opening every door, with force if she needed to. No one was left. Until she came to the town's witch's house.
Sabrina found the door locked, which she pounded upon loudly, tears streaming from her eyes. She was surprised when the door slowly opened and she was blasted back by magic. There stood Agatha, the witch, bright yellow wings gnarled with age.
"You blasted- Sabrina!" Agatha looked at her with surprise, and then helped her up.
"I'm so sorry! I thought it was-" Sabrina nodded. Agatha led her in, locking the door. Then she turned a solemn face to Sabrina.
"Where have you been, child?"
"I was fighting-"
"But not in the right place. The Heartless attacked, and we had no one to defend us. I was too old to fend them off, Jeremy too inexperienced." Sabrina's eyes widened.
"You mean…"
"Yes. Everyone else was taken by the Heartless." Sabrina remembered seeing the lesser shadows being created, her not fighting them.
"I tried-"
"You needed to stay here," Agatha said firmly. "But you didn't. We needed you here." Sabrina broke down, for the first time since she was five. Racked with guilt, sorrow, and loss, she cried. And Agatha didn't stop her. Finally, the tears slowed and stopped. Sabrina looked up.
"Jeremy…?"
"Is fine. He managed to fight his way here, but he was already exhausted by then." Sabrina stopped for a moment, thinking.
"Is there anything I can do, anything at all, that will stop the Heartless? Stop the fear and pain." Agatha was quiet for a moment, and then spoke.
"To help stop the Heartless, you must leave this world and find the Bearer of the Key. Help him in any way you can, keep his heart from being taken by the darkness. And watch your own heart. Don't fall to the darkness; don't let it control you." Sabrina stared for a moment, then said, "How do I leave this world?" Agatha grinned for the first time since Sabrina's arrival.
"There will be a dark swirling portal above this house. You must fly to it, quickly, before this world is swallowed by the darkness. You must take Jeremy with you." Sabrina nodded. "He is in a room through that door," she said, pointing. "In that room is another door. Carry him with you out and up, into the vortex. You two must then find the Key Bearer." Sabrina nodded and turned to leave. As Sabrina opened the door, Agatha said, "Do not be surprised if the Key Bearer is not drakin." As Sabrina closed the door, she heard the old witch cackle.
Inside the room, Jeremy was lying on a bed, blue robes still on. He looked so peaceful. Sabrina picked him up, holding him like a baby, and stepped through the last door. Once outside, Sabrina felt a strange breeze. It was going up, pulling her hair upwards. Looking above her, Sabrina saw the vortex. She gulped, and then leaped into the sky. She instantly lost control, spiraling, into the vortex.
R&R! Oh, and I will now be updating this everyday! Not next week, though, because I will be out of town.
