If anyone reads the reviews, one may notice, that my pen name is in there. But, before you call me insane, (which we can debate about at a different time) I'd just like to say, that Shadowsonic is an imposter, and an absolute idiot. Somehow, this person who will remain nameless (who also isn't my father, mother, or sister, being that she does not exist…) got onto my pen name login and reviewed my chapter, when I was sitting on the sofa next to him. The point of reviewing? No idea. So there!!


BHK hopped out of the jumped out of the Gummi Ship as he approached the gates of Hollow Bastion. "Go! Do your little regeneration thing, I'll be back soon!" The Gummi Ship (operating on Auto-pilot) accepted the order and flew off.

BHK now turned to the Castle Gates. Already the Shadows were slithering up to greet him. BHK whipped out his twin Keyblades. "Let's go." BHK rushed into the mass of Heartless, twirling and slashing with his Keyblades.

The Heartless who moved too slow were destroyed, but the others were circling BHK. A Shadow launched itself toward BHK's back, but met only the steel of Oblivion. BHK now took the offensive, cutting through the Heartless. But as the Heartless reformed their ranks, BHK felt massive surges of energy occur throughout the castle grounds.

And, seemingly in response to this, the Heartless melded to form a huge spot of darkness and melted away. BHK sheathed his Keyblades and walked calmly to the castle gates. "Seems like the party's just about to get started." BHK pushed open the doors.

The castle was flooded with darkness and BHK could feel the unseen Heartless roaming the corridors. BHK allowed himself a small smile. 'So much for this being an easy rescue.' BHK's smile grew. "Good." He said aloud. "I like it that way." BHK stepped into the castle.


Enigmatic Man turned as Quantum appeared beside him. 'A most interesting turn of events.' "What do you want Quantum?"

'I've come to inform you.'

"About?"

"The Keyblade Master has arrived."

E. was shocked. "What? How? You told me that he wouldn't be able to escape." Quantum laughed. 'I knew not the extent of the boy's power. His desire to return to the Princess was immense. The Keyblade acted upon this wish."

"How does the Keyblade have enough power to escape from an entire separate universe?" E. questioned.

'The Keyblade is a tool that is connected to the Heart. An individual's Heart, or a World's Heart. Even the Hearts of galaxies. For is a universe not simply a collection of worlds? The worlds were taken from their true space and placed elsewhere, a random collection, with a random place. Thus, a false miniature universe was created, along with a false Heart.'

"Spare me the lecture Quantum, I just want to know what happened."

'I do not know why I didn't realize that this would happen.' Quantum continued, as if E. had not spoken. 'The Keyblade reacts to Hearts. When the boy wished for his return to this universe, the Keyblade also sought for a way here. When the Keyblade came across the Universe's unstable Heart, the Universe was forced to collapse. During this, so much power was released that all the Keyblade had to do was draw some power to itself, and use it to transport here.'

"You speak as if the Keyblade has a mind of its own." E. wondered aloud.

'Don't be foolish. The Keyblade is so complex, yet wondrously simple. It wants what its wielder wants. Nothing more, nothing less. It can't choose right or wrong.'

"So be it" E. said. "We have one more issue to deal with. I no longer care." E. shrugged. "We will greet the boy as planned. As for the others, increase the Heartless patrol. They will see to it that nobody will interfere."

E. strode off, to try and salvage what was left of Phase 1.


Sora slowly picked himself off of the marble floor he found himself on. Donald and Goofy were next to him, imitating the motion. Sora looked around, but found that he couldn't see very well. The pounding headache he had and the swirling lights around him didn't help much. Sora shut his eyes and thought back to a few moments before.


The street was shaking, the entire world was. Sora dropped down to his knees and looked up to the sky. "We are so screwed…." The sky itself seemed to be tearing apart. A rift in the air grew, longer and longer, a gash in the sky. The Keyblade was vibrating in his hand, and a tornado of energy was descending upon them all.

Sora's brain didn't register the fact that he should probably move. Run away even. Instead, Sora stood still as the whirling energy touched the ground. Almost instantly, Sora could feel his feet leave the ground, slowly and delicately at first. But then he was rushing into the sky, his body being sucked into the rift.

Before coming into contact with the rift, Sora finally felt a twinge of fear. But there was no more time to scream.

They touched the rift. A flash. Then, nothing.


He squinted his eyes and looked around the room again. The lights were still moving, but they now seemed to have an order of sorts, and as his headache began to die away, he found that he knew exactly where he was.

'The Lift Stop!' His mind screamed at him. He had somehow arrived at Hollow Bastion. But instantly, he knew that something was going on. Explosions rocked through the ancient castle.

Sora looked at his companions. "Well? What are we waiting for?! Let's go!!" Sora broke into a run, Donald and Goofy faithfully by his side.


Sorry about the short chapter. And also sorry about being slightly late. I'll make the next one longer, I promise. Review!
