Marlena suddenly stopped her spell, and took a quick look around the room. Zashi also took a long, hard look at the white room they had been suddenly transported to. Marlena slowly got to her feet and looked around, "this kind of looks like…" she started, still looking, and Zashi finished her sentence, "Like Namine's room?" looking to her, she gave a nod and wandered towards the drawings hanging from the wall. "Look. Its Sora, Riku and Kairi…" Marlena pointed to a picture, and Zashi walked beside her to see, "Not a moment too late…" a female voice came from behind the duo, they whipped around to see Namine sitting in a chair across the room. Zashi's face lit up, "You saved us right Namine?" She gave a solemn nod, and pointing to two spots around the table, two chairs appeared, "I need to talk to both of you." Marlena quickly took the chair to Namine's right, and Zashi to the left, "I know the darkness in Melanie's heart has been unsealed. It will not be easy to defeat her now…" Zashi looked at both of the girls, "have either of you heard about a thing called Project Black?"

Marlena simply shook her head, but Namine's eyes suddenly grew wide, and she began to shake. "Namine…What's wrong?" Marlena said, extending a hand to her shoulder, but Namine suddenly stood up and walked to the window. "Project Black is something Ansem had started, he was trying to make a heart totally born of darkness…" Zashi shook his head, "but…you can't make a heart from darkness…right?" Namine simply shook her head, "before Ansem fell into madness, he theorized that it could be done, and later after he became obsessed with darkness, he experimented on the only person left: his unborn child." Marlena suddenly stood up in her chair, "How insane do you have to be to do something like that?" Namine turned around to meet Marlena's gaze, "remember: Ansem was part of darkness now." With that, Marlena sat down, letting Namine continue, "before this happened, another child of Ansem was sent away to another world before the darkness overcame his senses." Zashi went wide eyed, "Kairi…" Namine simply shook her head, "that's right. Later when the experiment started and the child was born, Ansem's wife came to me, and begged me to seal the darkness in the baby's heart and send it to another world." She looked out the window again, "I used the best seal I knew and sent her away…I never head from Ansem's wife after she left…"

The room fell into silence. Namine suddenly walked over to Zashi, "your heart…" she started, and then quickly cleared the table, pointing to it, "Zashi climb onto the table and lay flat on your back!" Being confused, he sat there, "but…why?" "Do you want the darkness to take over your heart!" Namine said firmly, and within a moment, Zashi was lying on the table, and looked to both of the girls and said, "Will I be OK?" Namine flashed a smile and put her hands on Zashi's chest, and gently passed through his body, reaching his heart. Carefully pulling the object out, Namine let it float in the air, and said, "we need to seal the darkness…he does not have much time before he is a Heartless…" With that, Namine put her hands around the heart, and drew a keyhole with her fingers, and turned to Melanie, "use the Keyblade to seal Zashi's heart." She gave a nod, and pointed the Keyblade to the makeshift key hole and a single beam of light shot from the tip of the weapon into the hole, making a clicking noise, and the heart changed color from black to a bright orange and gently descended back into Zashi.

Sitting up on the table, Zashi looked at the two girls with a smile on his face, "wow…I feel great! Its like I never had any darkness to begin with…" with that, he got off the table, and turned to Namine, who was doodling in a sketch book, "What are you drawing Namine?" Zashi asked, trying to look at the picture, but she just shut the book, "A keyblade. Now that the darkness in your heart is sealed away, hopefully another keyblade will come to you."
