ENJOY!! NOW READ!!!

Darkness……echoes….images.. So many things swirled on the edge of Soras mind that it took him awhile to actually become aware of anything. He flexed his hand beside him and ran his fingers over the hard, smooth surface of the mystery floor below him. Where was he?

Slowly he sat up and a small spasm of pain seared across his chest. He winced slightly and blinked trying to remember what had happened to him. Everything was foggy in his mind and the pain wasn't making it any better.

" Augh……I feel like I got hit by a truck"

He stood up slipping on the Marble floor and took in his surroundings carefully. He seemed to be in what appeared as a giant ball room. Large Crystal chandeliers hung from the glass ceiling above open to the starry sky. Paintings of different sorts covered the floor and spiraled to a big black heart smack dab in the center. Unlit torches took their place at the side of a large double black door at the far end of the room.

The scenery seemed all too elegant to fit the position he slowly began to remember he was in.

"I… I turned around after Riku was hit… and then.."

Suddenly the lights from the chandeliers above clicked off cloaking Sora and everything around him in utter darkness.

" Wha.."

He quickly summoned the key blade into his hand and turned around blindly fear stood at the edge of his heart but he would never let it enter. He wasn't afraid and he never would be.

"I highly doubt that." Said a voice from behind him.

The brunette resisted the urge to jump from surprise and stood his ground. He knew now what he would see behind him. He understood now.

"You doubt me?" he questioned smirking slightly. "Heh. You're the first."

A cold yet small laughed echoed from behind him ringing off the ball room walls. It rang through Soras ears like poison and he slowly turned around to gaze at his hooded foe.

"It would be wise not to get smart with Me." the boy hissed coldly. "I assure you I am only here to guide you on the right path."

Soras hand clenched tighter on the metal handle of the Keyblade. He didn't go through his life in a living hell just to have some guy sweet talk him into changing sides.

"The right path" Sora said smoothly but with a hint of iciness. "Is the one that I am taking now. The light."

For a second the brunette noticed a change in the unknown's expression and his smile widened. He was going to go through any possibility to get out of this alive. He was going to prove to everyone he wasn't some reckless teenager.

"Are you sure of that?"

The Keybearer frowned. "What?"

"That light is the right path... Or is that just what everyone tells you to say?"

Sora bit his tongue slightly but didn't say anything. His eyes locked on the unknown as he clicked his fingers and the chandeliers lit back up.

"I'm right am I not? Everyone tells you what to do until it's drilled into your heart that light is the right path for everything. But is it right for you Sora? I mean, after all," the boy summoned a black raven key blade into his hand. "You seemed to take really well to darkness last time. Why not try it again?"

Rage like none before burst from Soras heart and before he knew it he had swung his Keyblade into the ground causing jets of electric energy to shoot out and toward the unknown who quickly dodged to the left.

Silence enveloped around them all except for Soras slightly ragged breath. His key blade was still jammed into the ground and he glared hard at the unknown with purplish eyes. "Never." he said strongly. "Never say that. I will never join back with the darkness which made my life a living hell. It shares no bond with me."

The unknown just smiled which caused the brunettes blue eyes to widen. "I'm afraid you are wrong Keyblade master." He said smoothly. "For if you would have paid closer attention you might have noticed a certain key to where your fate is heading."

Sora held his breath and watched as the unknown raised his head until he could just make out a dull yellow glowing eye beneath the hood. "That attack you just used. Was exactly the same as Ansems."

The beating of the brunettes heart suddenly became so loud it pulsed through his ears painfully. Shock flooded his body turning him numb until he felt his knees collapse and hit the cold broken floor. He knew in his heart that Ansem had used that very same attack against him. And he didn't even realize how and when he had learned to use it.

"You know Sora. You realize it now. Only people who have felt the true power of the darkness and lived to tell it can obtain such powers so quickly." The boy walked over and stood in front of the now shaking Keybearer. "So now you must choose. Choose your true path. What will it be Sora? The light which will forever be lost to you? Or the darkness that will make you complete?"

For a second Sora just stared at the ground and the unknown smirked.

'It will only be a matter of time." he thought nastily. "Until he chooses to give up. Theirs no avoiding it." But as he thought this the lost and scared look on the Keybearers face turned to that of anger.

' I'm not letting him get to me! ' Sora told himself. "NEVER!!' And without warning his fist had made contact with the unknowns face sending him flying several feet away.

The brunette got to his face glaring. "I choose light." he said strongly. "And no one not even you can change that."

The unknown struggled up from the ground and Sora could just make out a small glimpse of black hair from beneath the hood. His yellow eyes flamed in rage and before Sora new it he had taken out his raven key blade and charged at him at full speed.

Sora rushed to meet him and as he raised his Keyblade to strike his foe had taken his free hand and sent a blast of black energy reeling into him. The brunette fell back hard onto the stone floor and looked up just in time to see a key blade come crashing down toward him.

Quickly Sora raised his own key to counter but as he brought it up in front of him it disappeared from his hand and the unknowns blade sank deep into his wrist.

A small cry escaped his throat and he bent over watching blood pour from his wrist and onto the Marble floor.

'Ah…. Wha.. What happened? Where did the key go?

Instead of smiling down at Soras weakness the unknown glared with anger. He knew now that this boy wasn't going to give in on his own free will. He would have to do it the hard way.

The brunette looked up from his bleeding wrist and at the unknown hatefully. "Heh. So why are you just standing their? Kill me."

As soon as the words escaped his mouth the hooded boy had swung his Keyblade down upon him leaving a big gash from his cheek down to his neck. He picked him up by the throat pressing hard upon the wound that now resided their making a small tear of pain appear in Soras left eye.

"Kill you?" the unknown hissed. "Killing you would be a pleasure for you now wouldn't it?"

Sora smiled slightly keeping his eyes locked on the yellow glowing beads starring straight at him from under his foes hood. He was right. Death would be everything to him. And he wasn't afraid to admit it.

"If you are so certain that you shall choose light. Then I will have to show you how much it will hurt in the future" The unknown threw Sora to the ground and brought his key slashing down onto his right arm.

The brunette winced but stared his foe down with confidence. "Heh. I already no how much it hurts. So don't waste your damn breath."

Another blow came upon him and he felt blood trickle down from his neck. He didn't care.

"I've been through hell and back again. And I don't need a damn bastard like you trying to bring me back!!"

The unknown shot a blast of black energy straight at him sending him into the wall several feet behind him. Sora slid down and kneeled on the floor breathing heavily. Blood leaked from the side of his mouth and his breath came out ragged and short. Footsteps echoed in his head as he felt his enemy come closer.

"You're stubborn." Said the unknown hatefully as he used the end of his Keyblade to raise Soras head to make him look at him.

The brunette smirked. "So is that it?"

Their was a small moment of silence before the boy picked the Brunette up by his throat and pinned him against the wall.

"Oh no Sora." The unknown smirked. He clicked his fingers and suddenly Sora felt as if Gravity was pushing him hard into the wall. His foe put his hand on Soras forehead causing ice cold pain to spread throughout his whole body.

"This is only the beginning." And with that, he plunged his key blade into Soras Chest.

Blood seeped down his body and white hot tears poured from the brunettes eyes. Pain was the only thing he could feel, hear or think. Visions danced past his eyes and he felt the unknowns hand tighten on his forehead.

He pushed the key deeper into soras chest and twisted it in one swift motion. Forcing a scream to Rise from the brunettes mouth and echo through the room.

"Darkness has its ways Sora." The unknown said strongly. "And this is one of them you will soon witness."

And at that moment the key touched The Keybearers heart and his mind went blank.
