……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Donald, Goofy, Navi, and (because he decided to sneak into the Gummi Ship and tag along) Pluto had just arrived in the First District of Traverse Town. As they walked towards the steps, Goofy looked up.
"Hey, Donald," he said, "Lookit! A star's going out!" Donald looked up and gasped. Sure enough, one of the stars in the sky shone brightly before blinking out of existence. Navi also looked up, slightly shocked.
"We ought to hurry, then!" She exclaimed. The others nodded and started to walk up the steps. Donald crossed his arms in slight annoyance.
"How the heck are we going to find the Key Staff Wielder?" He asked to no one. Goofy, being the ever-optimistic, spoke up.
"Aw, cheer up, Donald. I'm sure Leon will know where to look. Heck, maybe Sora's here, too!" Donald shrugged at his friend's comment.
"Maybe. But don't get your hopes up."
"You guys seem to really like to talk about this Sora kid," Navi interjected, "I hope I can meet him!" Donald and Goofy sighed at Navi's excitement. She had really annoyed them the whole trip to Traverse Town. As Navi ranted on and Donald and Goofy tried not to go crazy, Pluto sniffed around. He quickly ran towards one of Traverse Town's many alleyways. Goofy noticed the dog's focus of attention.
"Hey, guys, where's Pluto going?"
"Don't worry about it, Goofy. He probably wants to see something over there."
"But wouldn't that concern us?"
As Donald and Goofy argued and walked on, Navi hung back.
"Pluto, c'mon," she shouted, "We haven't gotten all day…or night…or whatever you call it here…" She zipped off to Donald and Goofy. Pluto, meanwhile, had found something that gave him the slight feeling of deja-vu…
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
"Uhh…"
Lilith moaned as she woke up. She felt like she got hit with a bolder seven times on the head. She rubbed her eyes and blinked. She was staring at a rather large yellow dog.
"Uh…what a weird dream this is…" she said, expecting to wake up in the real world where yesterday never happened, and that she was still in Riku's arms, and that she could make sure it would be a good day. She quickly shut her eyes, waiting to wake up.
The dog, however, had other plans. It pounced on her and licked her face a few times. She quickly shoved the dog off of her and wiped the dog drool away with her sleeve.
"Hey," she said, annoyed, "Cut it out! That hurt…wait, that hurt?" She opened her eyes. The dog was still there, wagging its tail and looking at her with a dopey doggy grin. She stood up (albeit wobbly) and looked around. She seemed to be in an alleyway, the buildings around her made of red bricks, a couple boxes next to her, and posters on a broken rotting fence next to her. She looked towards the sky and gasped; it was night, and there were so many stars! She then kneeled down to the dog's level.
"Say, boy," She said, feeling silly talking to a dog, "Where and what is this place?" The dog perked up one of its ears and ran off. Lilith got up and reached her hand in the direction the dog was going in.
"Wait!" she shouted. She ran after the dog and arrived in what looked to be like a town square. A few people and a couple strange teddy bears with wings and poof-balls on their heads walked around, but there was no sign of the dog. Lilith was too preoccupied with looking around to notice.
"Am…am I in another world?" she asked quietly. She then turned around and noticed the big building behind her. A big sign that said 'Accessory Shop' hung over the door. Lilith decided to check inside.
After all, she thought, there has to be someone who's seen the others if they're here, and what better place to find people than a shop?
Lilith entered the shop, but her spirits immediately fell when she only saw the shopkeeper inside. His back was turned to her. Upon hearing the door close, though, he turned around.
"How can I help…" he started, but his gaze fell on Lilith, "Aw, it's only a kid." Lilith narrowed her eyes in slight annoyance. There was no way that anyone could say that she was a kid; she'd probably been a statue so long that she was well over 100 years old! Of course, she didn't even know how long she'd been like that, but that didn't matter.
"I am not a kid! My name is Lilith!" She said. The man held his hands up.
"Okay, okay, easy Lilith. So, what's wrong? You seem kinda down."
"Uhm…well…" Lilith felt uneasy spilling part of her story to a stranger, but he didn't seem like an enemy. She quickly told him how she had got here and who she was looking for.
"Well, missy," he said, "This ain't the little island you were on. This is Traverse Town." Lilith's eyes widened.
"So, mister, is this another world?" She asked innocently. The man sweat-dropped.
"I'm not a mister," he said, trying not to blow up at the girl, "The name's Cid. Anyway, I guess you could say that, yeah." Lilith gasped in surprise.
"How cool!" she exclaimed. Cid snickered at Lilith's giddiness.
"Well, good luck with finding your friends. If you need help, come to me. I'll look out for ya." Lilith grinned, said a quick 'thank you', and went out of the store. Cid chucked and pulled out a cell phone. He quickly dialed a number and held the phone to his face.
"Hey, Leon? I think I found her…yeah, she's probably gonna be looking around town…yeah, swing by the First District and…okay…yeah, she knows them…she's looking for them…tell them to keep a low profile…Aerith find those guys from…yeah? Good. Well, see ya."
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Lilith sighed as she came back into the First District via the Third District door. She'd looked all over town and asked everyone she found, but no one had seen Sora, Kairi, Helena, or Riku. Lilith was especially worried about Riku. He had been really shook up when she saw him last. She slowly walked back to the Accessory shop. Cid looked at her as she came in.
"Find them?" he asked. Lilith shook her head no and plopped down on the couch. She sighed again.
"I asked everyone in town and looked in every building. No one has seen them." She wrapped her arms around herself, feeling so small, alone, and helpless.
"Hey, cheer up. You'll find them."
Lilith looked up at Cid and smiled. "Thanks," she said, trying to sound more light-hearted. A strange ringing sound then filled the room. Cid quickly pulled out his cell phone. Lilith was amazed by how technology had improved, and she wondered if they had such small phones on Destiny Islands.
"Hello?" Cid said, "Um, yeah, uh, the, uh, shipment of, uhm," he then looked towards Lilith, "Energy Bangles is coming today…yeah…yeah, just wait there and the delivery girl will come with them…yeah, girl…yeah, she's…yup. Okay, great doing business with you but I've got a customer. Bye." Cid quickly hung up his cell phone.
"Sorry, Lilith," he said, pocketing his cell phone, "but hey, this guy has been nagging me all week for those Energy Bangles, and the delivery girls have all been sick, but the company called and said that one of them was in, so…you understand, right?"
She did, and she nodded her head. Cid smiled nervously. Lilith got up and headed for the door.
"Well," she said, "good luck with your client. Bye!" She opened the door and walked out. As she was heading for the steps, she felt…something...
Lilith spun around, the Key Staff materializing in her hands. She could only see the silhouette of a tall man with a really big sword.
"So…you are the one with the Key Staff…" the man said. Lilith narrowed her eyes and pointed the key teeth end towards the man.
"Who are you and why do you want me?" Lilith demanded. The man started to walk towards her.
"I don't think that's important," he said, "But what is important is that you come with me." Lilith gasped and got into a battle-stance.
"No way! I don't trust you!" She said, gritting her teeth. The man sighed and lifted his sword over his shoulder. He walked towards Lilith, more of his features being revealed. He had longish brow hair, steel gray eyes, and he wore all black. His big sword seemed to be the cross between a sword and a gun.
"Fine, then…have it your way."
He swung the sword towards Lilith. She jumped up and onto the sword. As she balanced on it, the man waved it around to try and get her to fall down, but it was no use. Lilith ran up the sword and swung her staff towards the man. Unfortunately, the man tilted the sword and she fell off before the staff came in contact with his head. Lilith landed on her butt and growled in a low voice. She quickly sprang up and aimed her staff at him. With a shout of "Fire!", a ball of flames flew towards the man. He quickly blocked it with his sword. The gun part of the sword then started to glow a red-ish light. Lilith squealed and dodged the fireball-like bullet as it streaked towards her.
This, she thought, will be harder than expected…
……………………………………………………………………………………………...
Lilith and the man had been fighting for almost an hour. Weapons had collided, magic had been used, shots had been fired, and both of the fighters were worn out and beat up. As they faced each other in the center of the First District (which, amazingly, had no people there during the whole fight), they exchanged glares and breathed heavily, both in battle-stances. The man then fell to one knee. Lilith smirked and walked over to him, keeping the key teeth end of her Key Staff pointing towards him.
"Now," she said, "will you leave me alone?" The man looked up at her and glared. He then pushed Lilith away a few feet using the flat end of his sword. He stood up quickly.
"Yuffie! Now!" He shouted. Lilith gave him her 'WTF' look before she felt something strike the side of her neck. She took whatever it was out of her neck and looked at it. It was a hollow dart, and Lilith suspected it was filled with either a poison or a sleeping draught. She glared at the man.
"You dirty cheater…" She said, and then she slumped to the ground, the world going dark.
The man sighed and slung his sword over his shoulder. She's tougher than she looks…a lot tougher… he thought, panting.
"Jeez, Leon, you're getting old."
The man turned around to see a young woman standing behind him. She had short, blackish-brow hair, purple eyes, and was wearing a revealing outfit.
"Am not," The man protested. The woman giggled and went over to Lilith, checking her pulse.
"Strange, isn't it? Almost all the people who have to save the worlds are just kids," The woman said. The man nodded in agreement.
"The fact that she's awakened can only mean that things are gonna get bad. Really bad."
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Donald, Goofy, and Navi were walking in the back alleyway in the Second District. Navi was shaking, but Donald and Goofy were perfectly fine. Pluto was being his usual doggy self.
"I-it's kinda creepy here," Navi said, "Are you guys s-sure we'll find this Leon guy somewhere around here?"
"Positive," Goofy said, "You don't haveta be scared, Navi…though I will admit that this place gives me the creeps." Donald huffed at Goofy's remark.
"Scared? Phooey! There's nothing to be scared of!" he said. He then felt a hand tap his shoulder. He screamed, jumped in the air, and Goofy caught him. They all looked at their mysterious stalker.
"I'm not that scary, am I?" Asked a gentle voice. The voice was owned by a young woman. She wore a pink dress, and her brown, curly-ish hair was tied with a pink bandana, then braided, then tied with a pink hair tie. Her green eyes shone with innocence. Donald jumped down from Goofy's arms.
"Sorry, Aerith," Donald said, "I'm just jumpy. Do you know where Leon is?"
……………………………………………………………………………………………...
Lilith shook her head a few times. Everything around her was so blurry, and she felt kind of hung-overish. She rubbed her eyes and blinked them, sat up, and looked at her immediate surroundings. She was in a room, and was on a bed. She looked to the left of the bed and gasped.
There stood Riku, perfectly fine. He was slightly blurry, but Lilith only shrugged that off as the effects of whatever was in that dart. He smiled.
"Feel better?" he asked. Lilith nodded.
"How about you? You okay? Have you found the others yet?"
"Yeah…and…I'm really sorry, but…"
"But what?"
"We…haven't found Riku yet."
"Huh?" Lilith said in shock, "But how can you be looking for yourself? You're standing right in front of me!" Riku raised an eyebrow.
"Lilith, c'mon, be serious," Riku said, his voice changing, "It's me; Sora. Are you still out of it?" There was a flash of light, and Riku turned into a concerned Sora. Lilith fell back onto the bed in shock.
"Whoa!" She exclaimed. Sora chuckled and felt Lilith's forehead.
"Do you have a fever or something? I look nothing like Riku," He said, grinning good-naturedly. Lilith smiled and laughed weakly. Sora then took his hand off of Lilith's forehead.
"D'you want to see the others?" He asked. Lilith nodded. He then went over to the room's door and opened it, motioning the people on the other side to come in. Kairi and Helena came in, both of them going immediately to Lilith and checking to see if she was okay. Lilith only barely heard others come in, since Kairi and Helena were fawning over her. Once they moved away, Lilith saw two other people. One was a woman who seemed to be in her twenties; dark hair, purple eyes, and an active yet revealing outfit. The other was the man Lilith had fought in the First District. She raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, mister, why did you cheat before?" She asked. The man stiffened at being called 'mister'.
"Don't call me that," he said, "my name is-"
"His name is Squall!" The woman interjected. The man gave the woman a glare.
"It's Leon," he said, "And I didn't cheat," he looked back at Lilith, "You didn't come willingly, and Miss Hyper-Ninja-Girl over here and I needed to talk to all of you." The woman, not seeming to be offended by Leon's comment, walked over to Lilith and sat next to her on the bed.
"Yuffie's the name. Nice to meetcha!" she said. Lilith smiled at Yuffie's enthusiasm. She then frowned.
"But wait," she said, "I'm still confused. Do you guys," Lilith pointed to Sora and Kairi, "Know them?" Lilith pointed to Yuffie and Leon. Sora nodded.
"And what do you have to talk to us about?"
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
"Okay," Aerith said, "Since you're here, it can only mean that you're looking for the king, right?"
"Yeah," Donald said. Goofy nodded in agreement.
"Yup," Goofy said, "We found a strange letter from him in a book Donald was reading. It told us to look for some person with a staff shaped like a key."
"That's the Key Staff," Aerith explained, "And it's needed once again to seal the next threat of darkness."
……………………………………………………………………………………………...
"Once again? You mean the Key Staff has been used before?" Sora asked. Leon nodded.
"According to legend," Yuffie explained, "The Key Staff was made by the creators of the Keyblade. It was sort of a prototype. It could seal darkness and keyholes, but it could also use extremely powerful magic and unlock the heart of everything that had a heart. It also seemed to be able to distinguish good and evil. Since the Key Staff is so similar to the Keyblade, it too was used in the battles before time against the darkness. It was wielded by a family of renegade demons. They sealed the darkness-and themselves-in what we call 'Hell'."
……………………………………………………………………………………………...
"I still don't get it," Navi said, "So we're looking for a demon? How the heck do we find a demon?"
"It's easier than you think," Aerith said, "From when the demons sealed themselves into Hell until now, there have only been three demons that have come out. We have reason to believe that one of them is the Key Staff Wielder. And that means that the Heartless will come back."
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
"Not the Heartless again!" Kairi exclaimed. Leon nodded.
"Demons are pure darkness," He said, "Their darkness is like a beacon for Heartless. It surprises me that you," Leon looked in Lilith's direction, "haven't been attacked by a horde of them yet. The fact that you are a demon and that you wield the Key Staff should make us swimming in Heartless right now."
"Okay, that much I get," Lilith said, "but I'm just wondering what this new threat of darkness is. And how did you know I was a demon?"
"Uh, you wield the Key Staff maybe, Lil?"
"Helena…shut up."
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
"We don't know. All that we know is that it's working with Ansem."
"What?" Donald exclaimed, "Ansem is back?"
"But I thought he was dead," Goofy said, "I could've sworn he died…"
"We'll worry about that later," Aerith said.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
"Why is Ansem working with this new darkness?" Sora asked. Yuffie and Leon both shrugged.
"We dunno," Yuffie said, "He's either looking for revenge on you, or he wants the worlds to be consumed by darkness, or both. Heck, there might be even more motives, or he doesn't even have those first motives."
"All that matters," Leon said, "Is for you guys to go around sealing worlds again. Other worlds. As in the ones you didn't seal already, Sora." Leon smirked as he answered the question Sora was about to ask ("Will we have to go around resealing worlds?"). The others laughed at Sora as he pouted in annoyance.
"Well," Leon said, "We should join the others. Yuffie, give me the key to the other room…Yuffie?" Yuffie was staring at one corner of the room. All the others looked at what she was staring at. Everyone in that room could see the dark energy swirling into a sort of portal. Something tumbled out of it; it looked like…
"Soldier Heartless!" Sora exclaimed. Kairi screamed in fear and hid behind her boyfriend. Yuffie sprang off the bed and ran towards the other door, key in hand.
"I'll warn the others," Yuffie said to Leon. He nodded and pulled out his GunBlade. As Yuffie scrambled to unlock and open the door, Helena unsheathed her two swords, the Keyblade appeared in Sora's hands, and Lilith sprang off the bed and the Key Staff appeared in her hands. All the fighters got into a battle-stance. Once Yuffie unlocked the door, she grabbed Kairi by the wrist, swung the door open, and ran into the room where Aerith and the others were in. The door banged off of the wall and closed. Yuffie and Kairi quickly informed Aerith, Donald, Goofy, and Navi about the Heartless attack. Donald, Goofy, and Navi quickly ran out of the room in search of Heartless, while Aerith and Kairi went to find a safe place to hide, Yuffie protecting them.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
The Soldier Heartless was flung out the hotel room's window, the fighters jumping out after it. The Heartless quickly disappeared, and more Heartless appeared (a mix of Shadows and Soldiers) to take their fallen comrade's place. They started to advance on the fighters.
"Don't bother with these," Leon shouted, "Split up and find the leader!" He then went into the thicket of Heartless.
"Alright," Helena shouted over the cries of fallen Heartless, "Sora, you and Lil go to the Third District. I'll check the Second." Helena then made a mad dash for the door to the Second District, making short work of any Heartless in her way. Lilith quickly grabbed Sora's wrist and dragged him towards the door to the Second District.
"You heard her," She shouted, "We go to the Third District!"
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Lilith had dragged Sora to the Third District. They had fought hordes of Heartless along the way, and they had finally gotten to the big area that looked somewhat like a town square. Lilith made the Key Staff disappear when she didn't spot any Heartless, as did Sora with the Keyblade.
"Something doesn't feel right," Lilith said, looking around.
"Yeah, I know what you mean," Sora agreed.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Donald, Goofy, and Navi were on a balcony high above the Third District, looking for Heartless. Goofy looked down over the balcony's edge. He could've sworn he saw two people, one of them looking exactly like Sora…
Goofy then heard a strange sound (something like a Heartless appearing) behind him. He turned around…and there were two Soldier Heartless behind him. He yelped in surprise and put his shield up. Donald and Navi also noticed the Heartless.
"So these are a different kind of H-heartless?" Navi asked nervously. Donald nodded.
"C'mon," Donald said, "These are just weaklings! Let's get 'em, Goofy!"
Donald and Goofy ended up being pushed off the balcony. Navi zipped after them.
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Lilith looked up; she could've sworn she heard someone screaming. She saw a duck-person, a dog-person, and a ball of light headed right towards her and Sora!
"Sora, look out!" Lilith yelled, but it was too late. The duck-person and the dog-person landed right on top of her and Sora.
"Uh, okay…that was weird…" Lilith said as the two strange beings got off of them. Sora got up and helped Lilith up as the two creatures got up as well. They took one look at Sora…and they tackled him.
"Whoa!" Lilith cried in surprise. Sora did the same exact thing as the two creatures were hugging him.
"Sora! We've missed you so much! How've you been?" The dog-person said.
"We were hoping you'd be here," the duck person said. Lilith just stared on in complete shock and confusion. The little ball of light (which happened to have wings) floated over to the threesome.
"Oh, so this is Sora, huh?" The ball of light said in a feminine voice. Lilith rubbed her eyes and blinked.
"Uh, not to be rude or anything," Lilith said to everyone else, "But what just happened?"
Just then, the ground started to shake. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked around, watching thick, long pillars block their escape routes. Lilith looked up out of curiosity and saw something falling towards her…again…
"Look out!" She yelled, and this time everyone got away in time as the big, bat-like creature from Lilith's dream crashed into the ground. It got up, and then charged at Lilith. She quickly made the Key Staff appear in her hands. She didn't hear three astonished gasps as she ran towards the creature.
"Dammit, you never give up!" She yelled, attacking its back. Navi went to the sidelines and yelled helpful hints to the fighters as the other three joined the fray of attacking the creature's back. The creature pretty much followed the same battle strategy as before, only it seemed to have more stamina. The fight was quickly finished, though, because four fighters dealt more damage together than one can alone. The creature, sensing its lower-than-the-last-time-he-fought-Lilith stats, flew up and away from this world. The pillars disappeared, and from behind them came Helena, Kairi, Aerith, Yuffie, and Leon. The two creatures and the ball of light quickly went over to them to get themselves acquainted and to say hello to more friends. Lilith went over to Sora.
"You know those two?" She asked. Sora nodded. Lilith sighed in relief.
"Now, if only someone would explain to me what the heck just happened and what's going on…"
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
"Oh, so you guys were looking for us. I get it now…"
"They have also been seeking the Key Staff Wielder."
"Yeah, and we've been keeping an eye out for you too, Sora!"
"Thanks, guys."
Everyone had explained everything to Lilith. She was no longer confused, and was very grateful for that. As she was still thinking about how bizarre things had become, Goofy (who she still didn't know the name of) spoke up.
"So, why don't you guys," He looked towards Sora and Lilith, "Come with us? We can go to other worlds on the Gummi Ship! It'll be just like old times!" Sora nodded in agreement.
"Wait," Lilith said. The others turned to her, listening.
"Well…I will go with you…but on two conditions. One: We find Riku."
"I thought he was with you guys," Goofy said, "Where is he?"
"We don't know," Sora said, "Lilith said he disappeared the night we came here."
"Well, of course we'll help you look for him! We'll probably find him, anyway!" Donald said. Lilith immediately looked happier. Goofy kneeled down to Donald's height.
"Uh, are you sure Donald?" Goofy whispered.
"Nope," Donald (who's name Lilith didn't know either) whispered back, "But we need her to come with us to help us find King Mickey. Besides, we ended up helping Sora find Riku and Kairi last time, right? Now we just have to bump into Riku again."
"Oooooooh…okay." Goofy stood up again. Lilith cleared her throat as to tell the others that she was ready to speak again.
"Two," she said, "I want Helena and Kairi to come."
Helena gasped, then shook her head modestly while Kairi stood there, shocked.
"Sure! It's lucky that we brought the Gummi Ship with six seats then!" Goofy said before Donald could input his opinion.
"But…I can't even fight…" Kairi said. Sora went over to Kairi.
"Hey, no biggie. I'll teach you how to use magic," Sora said. Donald then ran over to the couple, seething.
"No way! If anyone's going to teach anyone else magic, it'll be me!" Donald exclaimed. Sora and Kairi both held back laughter.
"Okay, you'll teach me magic then," Kairi said. Donald smiled smugly at Sora, who just rolled his eyes.
"So…now that that's settled…who the heck are you three?"
Donald, Goofy, and Navi quickly turned to Lilith.
"I'm Donald Duck!"
"The name's Goofy!"
"Navi the Fairy, at your service!"
"Kay, then. I'm Lilith, and it's very nice to meet all of you!"
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
'Our Lady' watched the group of six using her hologram magic as they talked and walked to their 'Gummi Ship'. She was still wearing her cape, but the hood was down. She glared at the hologram of Lilith; it seemed so happy, so carefree, so…
"Horribly disgusting," 'Our Lady' said aloud. She then heard the door behind her close. She twirled around to see a demon-girl. The newcomer had sea-green hair down to the floor, and amethyst eyes that reflected her emotions perfectly. She was at least a foot taller than 'Our Lady', and she wore a dark turquoise skort (skirt and shorts combined) with a matching strapless tank-top and matching Mary Jane shoes. Her bat-like wings and devil-like tail were the same color as her hair, and the three jewels on her forehead were the same color as her eyes. She had fangs and claws.
"My Lady," The girl said, immediately bowing, "I have searched the premises. I have not found the one you are seeking." 'Our Lady' growled in frustration, but she quickly calmed down.
"I'm sure we will find him soon, My Lady," The girl said, "As we speak, your other disciples are searching their worlds. I am sure that soon, your great plan will be put into action." 'Our Lady' smirked evilly.
"Well put, apprentice. Now, come. I must show you something." 'Our Lady' motioned at the hologram. The girl stepped forward and looked at it. Her face softened and her eyes clouded with confusion when she saw Lilith.
"My Lady," the girl said, "The girl in black looks so familiar…who is she?" 'Our Lady' narrowed her black, cold eyes at the hologram.
"Her identity does not matter now," 'Our Lady' said, "You will know her soon enough. Now, why don't you go train with Disciple Ansem?" The girl nodded and ran out of the room. 'Our Lady' smirked at the hologram.
"Soon, Lil…soon…"
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Lilith turned to look at Traverse Town before she would go throught the world exit. She and the others had stocked up on plenty of items, and they had all said good-bye to Yuffie, Leon, Aerith, and (because he came) Cid. She looked around at the town.
It's insane, she thought, looking at the town, I'm about to go to different worlds and stuff. It's…what I've wanted for so long…So why am I not happy?
Sora popped out from the other side of the world exit door to see what was taking Lilith so long.
"What's up with you, Lilith?" Sora asked. Lilith just sighed and turned to Sora.
"I don't know…" She said. She looked up to the stars.
"Do…do you really think we can find him?" Sora looked at Lilith.
"Of course we will. Don't be so pessimistic. It's not like you. Lilith looked at Sora with a sad face.
"Yeah…you're right. What AM I doing moping around anyway? I've wanted to see other worlds since I was thirteen! I'm not going to let anything stop me!" Sora laughed at Lilith's sudden mood swing.
"That's the spirit," He said, grabbing Lilith's arm and dragging her to the world exit, "Now, let's go!"
