"You alright Mark?"

Mark saw that Sora noticed that he looked worried. "You know how I didn't get on Seifer's good side earlier.."

"Oh right... Well, he wouldn't be able to do anything. Struggle matches have one rule, and that's not to be overly brutal to your opponent."

When Sora said that, Mark had a flash back of when he was playing the game. He remembered the man who probably organized the match, said there has to be a clean fight. But he knows how dangerous Seifer can be. He has played Final Fantasy VIII and saw that Seifer was the one who gave Squall his scar that's across his face.

Just about then, Seifer came strolling into the sandlot with his two idiot friends.

'Wait a sec-" Mark was confused on how one of the other Final Fantasy characters wasn't with Seifer. He doesn't even remember seeing him with Seifer at the train station.

When Seifer walked into the sandlot, Hayner walked over to him. Seifer noticed him, then scoffed. "What do you want, blondie?" He asked Hayner with a voice sounding like he had the whole world on his shoulders. Hayner started to speak to him about a struggle match.

Seifer smirked. "Well, I guess I am in a struggle mood." He said. "When should we being?" He asked. It seemed as of he thought he was going ageist Hayner. Hayner realized. "You're not gonna struggle me." He said.

Seifer raised an eyebrow. "Huh? Then who?"

Hayner turned around, facing towards Mark. Hayner turned around and saw him. "Really? That idiot?" He said. Hayner had a surprised look on his face. "Wait, you met him already?"

"We saw each other at the train Station, and the freak somehow knows my last name!"

"Wait... You have a last name?"

Seifer just sighed. "Forget about my last name! I am not gonna struggle him" he turned to leave. "But he is really good! You might have some competition!" Hayner said. That caught Seifer's attention. "Wait? How is he good? He is from another world, and probably never heard of struggle before. So how in the worlds could he even be half as good as me?" Seifer asked.

"Just give it a chance" Hayner said. Seifer sighed. "Fine" he grunted.

He walked over towards Mark and Sora.

"Ok outsider, Hayner said you are really good at struggling. So let's prove it, shall we?"

Mark clenched on the struggle bat hard. He felt a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Mark, you got this"

Mark listened to Sora's positive words.

'I got this-' He told himself.

Seifer walked over to the far end of the struggle arena. Roxas was about to start the match.

"Ready, set... Struggle!" Roxas called out.

"You got this Mark!" Sora called out.

"Kneel loser!" Seifer yelled out as he charged at Mark. Mark felt a sudden shock of fear, and jumped out the way. Seifer quickly turned back around. And tired to to slap the bat on to Mark, but Mark dogged out the way of his attack. "So all you're gonna do is avoid me? Haha! I can live with that" Seifer laughed. Mark wanted to lease an attack on him, but he just wanted to find the right opening. Seifer came charging towards Mark, ready to attack, but Mark jumped out of his way.

"Hey, don't leave me hanging now!" Seifer said.

Mark was now some distance from his opponent. Seifer looked at him. "Hey, you can quit of you want!" He said. "Only losers quit" Mark said.

Seifer scoffed. "Well, we'll see about that.

Seifer jumped into the air.

And Mark knew exactly what he was doing.

His leap attack.

"Isn't this romantic?!"

As Mark saw Seifer coming close to him, he held up the struggle bat, and slammed it into him with all his might.

Seifer got knocked back, like when you would smack a zombie with a diamond sword enchanted with knockback II.

Seifer slammed onto the ground and all the orbs erupted from him and fell all over the area.

Mark noticed there was a crowd of people who was watching. It seemed like it was the residence of Twilight Town. They probably heard that Seifer was going ageist a new comer, and they just had to see it.

Mark honestly had no idea they where even there. With the heat of the moment he just had, he probably would of forgot about how he was even in his video game.

But the crowd was silent. Because Seifer was on the floor. Mark apparently nearly knocked him out.

He noticed. "Oh no! I am Sorry Seifer! I.. Didn't want to hit you that hard.-"

Roxas walked up to Mark. "Mark you won ageist Seifer!"

That's when Mark noticed he had all the orbs. "Woah- I-I did?"

Seifer got up off the floor. Everyone went to congratulate Mark. Seifer just angrily watched. "This can't be-" He muttered.

Seifer just got up, and walked away. He felt humiliated that he lost. He has never lost to anyone in struggle before. "A new comer comes here and steals my thunder-" I can't let that happen.

"And you shouldn't"

Seifer heard a voice near by him, and he turned around and saw a person, who seemed to be covered in darkness. "Hey get away from me!" Seifer yelled. "Get away from me heartless!"

"I am not a heartless." The creature said. It walked closer to Seifer. A bright letter "D" glowing on it's chest.

"My name... Is Dark-Blade" It said. "A heartless with a name? That's... New"

The dark creature got irritated that he was still being called a heartless. "For the last time, I am not a Heartless."

"Then what are you?"

"That... I cannot say. At least not to you. But I know Mark. And you need to get him out of here"

Although Seifer wanted Mark gone, something didn't settle right with this "Darkblade" guy.

"And why do YOU want him gone?"

Dark-Blade seemed like he was thinking of what to say. "...I just need him gone just as much as you"

"And what's in it for me?" Seifer asked.

"You'll... Be able to control everything" Dark-Blade said.

Seifer shook his head, then walked away. "I'm not into that. Good bye."

Dark-Blade watched as Seifer walked away. Seifer heard a sound, and looked behind him, and saw that Dark-Blade had vanished. "Huh? That dude was a freak. Just wait until I tell rai-"

Seifer felt a wave of shock go trough him. A painful shock.

His body was glitching with code and fading in and out. He fell to his knees, winching in pain.

He looked up, and saw that, In front of him, Darkblade was walking up towards him. "All you are is code. Code from a video game. If you don't get rid of Mark from here and put him back in his world your artificial life ends here. Come on Seifer Almasy. Make the right choice, so no one gets hurt"

"Why... Do all... Of you know my last name..."

There was a sound of foot steps coming close to them.

Darkblade heard them. "Oh crap..." He said. He quickly vanished into thin air. As soon as he left, Seifer stopped glitching and the pain left. He fell to the ground, panting heavily.

The foot steps where from Mark and his friends.

"Wow you where so good honestly!" Roxas said. "Yeah you showed Seifer who's boss!" Sora giggled.

Mark was blushing at all the compliments. But when they reached further to what they where walking to, they saw Seifer on the ground.

"Seifer!?" Hayner called out. "Are you ok? Hey it was just a game man.."

The rest of them came over, shocked to see Seifer on the ground. "It...there is... Something here-" Seifer said weekly.

"Something? What something?" Sora asked.

"A... Person... Covered in darkness that had a letter D on it's chest-"

Mark was shocked. "A... What?" He said. "And... He.. Apparently wants Mark gone from here-"

They all looked back at Mark.

"Was it a heartless?" Roxas asked.

Seifer shrugged. "I don't know" he coughed. "If it was, that's the most advanced heartless I've ever seen"

Mark knew that it was thing he has been seeing. But now it was attacking people.

"Bring Seifer to the usual spot so he can rest" Hayner said. "Huh? But you know most of us don't want him there-" Roxas said. "Well this is different"

Mark took Sora's hand, and took him away from everyone. "Sora can I talk to you?" He said.

Sora nodded, and walked with Mark over to the wall, away from the group.
