II: The Law of the Worlds

A dark bubble appeared in front of the entrance of Traverse Town, dissipating to reveal Alexa and Takeshi.

"I think--" Takeshi said, turning around and barfing.

"Are you Ok?"

"Do I look Ok to you? I'm—hold that though." He said, barfing again.

"There's cave beyond the alley in the Second District. Of course, we'll have to get there fast to avoid the Heartless."

"Could you just wait?" Takeshi complained regaining his composure. He looked around. "This is Traverse Town. Why didn't I hear of this town before? I didn't even know it existed."

"This town is not from your world. It exists to maintain the order of the worlds. People who have lost their homes to the Heartless end here."

"So, Yoko could be here." Takeshi ran up the stairs in the hopes of finding his sister.

"Wait!...little brat." Alexa said as the boy didn't stop. She walked to rest at one of the street lights.

A few minutes later, Takeshi came running down the stairs. "You said something about 'keeping the worlds as they should be'. Is there a chance that Yoko could have ended in 'another world'?"

Alexa sighed. "Your sister could have ended in another world as you say…but the chances are…very slim." There was a short pause in which Takeshi looked down. "Let's continue on our way to the cave."

TTR

Alexa and Takeshi were walking down the alley, slowly continuing their conversation.

"If they're 'other worlds' out there, how come the chances are so slim then?"

"Because it would be meddling. Each world has been separated long ago, or so a fairy tale says. The Heartless are changing all that."

"Those things attacked my home! What are they planning to do with the worlds any way!"

"They seek the heart of the living and of the worlds; throwing each one in the depths of darkness. That's how many people become Heartless too."

What Alexa said struck Takeshi's mind like a flying dagger. He was attacked by a Heartless and remembered falling in total darkness. "(Am I a Heartless too?)" He thought, reaching for his chest, the place where he felt the hit, the pain.

Alexa came to a stop. Where the waterway was broken open, continuing into a small opening.

"The cave's in there."

"Do you wannna go first? 'Cause I don't want another one of those things jumping at me."

"Heartless don't come in here! Whatever the reason is."

"What makes YOU so sure? He answered back. Alexa only stared at him before walking in.

TTR

"So, you were right. Now what's the deal with 'the meddling of worlds'?" Takeshi asked.

"Worlds are supposed to be separated…didn't I told you that a while back?"

"You did! But I still don't get it?"

"Fine! The only thing that prevents the worlds from meeting one another are 'walls'. Heartless bring down that wall to invade it."

"This wall thing is what would prevent Yoko from hoping worlds."

"Yes." Alexa answered interrupting him.

"How can you know there no walls?"

"The falling of bright meteors, or in your experience, when the Heartless attack."

Takeshi didn't say anything; instead he laid his back on the cave's floor, looking up at the bright moss covering the old stones and mosaic. He could grasp the idea of the existence of other worlds, but he still couldn't grasp the whole idea of hearts and Heartless.

"Don't you have any other questions?" Alexa asked him after the short pause.

"Yeah, I've got one." He instantly said, sitting again. "From what world do you come from?"

Alexa looked away for a moment, before looking at him again. "I really…don't remember." She smiled. It was the first time he saw her smiling. Takeshi wondered if she smiled often or not.

"You don't remember. Maybe you hit yourself while escaping from those Heartless too."

"Yeah, maybe…"

"Leon!" A girl's voice suddenly called. She was dressed in a pink outfit with silver accessories and brown boots. Her hair tied up in a ponytail, and green eyes.

"Takeshi, get back!" Alexa said as she faced the other woman.

"What have you done to the boy?" The girl demanded. Another person came from behind her, dressed in black denims and jacket, carrying a hybrid of a sword and a gun.

The man took his weapon, preparing to attack. "You're with the Organization, seeing the way you're dressed!"
