"How do we-"
"Get out?" Someone said coming into view. It appeared a person until I spied the sharp teeth; spite. I backed away and the man crouched down with his keyblade in an attack stance. "Put that away." It commanded, hissing at the keyblade as though it was a vile thing.
"Why should I?" He asked gruffly.
"I have information you may need." It grinned again showing those hideous sharp teeth.
"What's going on?" I asked angrily. It sat down and stared at me.
"Humans are amusing." It hissed.
"You were once one yourself. Tell us!" Its stare grew intense and I felt the beady eyes searching me.
"I will. I was planning to. Humans are so impatient." It looked at its fingernail and then started talking. "Twenty five others have been sent to say the same thing I will be telling you; the winners of your section." I shivered when it smiled broadly at the word "winners".
"Welcome to Fengorafel. In this world, we spites, is that what you humans call us? Anyways, we spites have made this world long ago in preparation of this day. You winners will fight the remaining sectors in hopes for a spot for one of the three keys to Kingdom Hearts. Then we, I beg pardon, you will have control of the cosmos!"
The spite laughed wickedly and turned to me.
"However, you have a keyblade also. Why do you not wield it?"
"I do not want Kingdom Hearts." I said staring at it. I felt the malice grow around me, almost suffocating. It snapped and the man who was trying to find out what was going on suddenly turned to me. I backed away for I saw his eyes, the pupils were gone. Did the spite do something?
"Kill him. He has a keyblade and as long as he has one, your chance of getting into Kingdom Hearts is slimmer than it already was. Kill him before he kills you!" With that, the spite disappeared laughing. I had no time to waste. Slowly I backed away and the man lunged at me, missing by an inch. I rolled away and started crawling.
"Stop mister!" I cried with no avail. He was intent on killing me. He raised his keyblade and slashed down on my shoulder. I yelped in pain and hurriedly ran away. Blasted sand. It howled and pushed me back towards my killer. I ran clutching my injured shoulder until exhausted I tripped. He was looming right above me with the keyblade raised. I closed my eyes. This would be the end.
"STOP!" A commanding voice cried and I opened my eyes to see the keyblade inches from my skull. I gulped and took the momentum to run towards the voice. However, seeing what it was, I decided to turn back to my attacker who was frozen at the spot.
"Don't kill me." I pleaded as a knight came into full view. He carried with him a gigantic keyblade that made my heart pound against my chest.
"I would do no such thing." He said and I glanced up. "You are the victor of the D Section. I was in the D section myself. You will make it. You will make a fine guardian. As for you…" He turned to the attacker.
"You are under a spell." He snapped and the man fell to the sand.
"Where am I?" He glanced at me and at his keyblade covered in my blood. "Young'un…I'm sorry." He whispered and tears filled my eyes. I gulped and turned back to the knight.
"Come with me." He said holding out his hand. I glanced back at the man sitting in the sand.
"Take him back to the Radiant Garden." I said. "Then I'll come with you." The knight laughed.
"You have a commanding voice already." He said and pointed his keyblade at the man. "You are lucky he didn't ask me to kill you." A light appeared at the tip of the keyblade and it shot straight at the man. He disappeared. I gulped and looked at the knight.
"Ready?" He asked and I nodded. I took his hand and closed my eyes. I felt as though something was squeezing the life out of me. I opened my eyes to see the knight glancing down on me.
"You're pretty small to be a winner aren't you? Teleporting takes a lot of stress for kids."
"I didn't win anything." I whispered and he chuckled. "Take me home." He stopped and I felt his glare. I looked at my feet to avoid it.
"Don't you want ultimate power?" He asked and I shook my head.
"I'm only a kid. Let me go home!" I cried and he let go of my hand. He pointed his keyblade at me.
"I guess…you're not the one." Then I felt a beam of light hit me before I woke up in the square of the Radiant Gardens.
"Yen! Yen!" My master was looming over me. I sat up with his help. I saw him an old man
"Master. What happened?" I asked.
"Yen, you have been gone for a hundred years. I had almost given up hope but suddenly I had this feeling I should be here." I glanced at him in horror.
"What?" I asked and he stroked his beard, now longer than before.
"You left in the year of the water lily, and now it is the year of the rose." He said and I felt my head spinning.
"Other worlds have different times then we do." He said and helped me stand up. "This is no longer the Radiant Gardens as you know it. This is now Hollow Bastion. Come Yen, you have much to tell me."
So with that I told him all I knew. After I came back, everything was normal once more. No more keyblades and no more worried people. It felt as though I had faced a dream. I thought it was all a dream as well had not this day had come."
Master Yen Sid closed his eyes as though he was remembering. Everyone looked positively worried.
"What will we do?" Sora asked and Yen Sid looked at him.
"Unlike me, you must fight your way up, all three of you, and you must become the three. You must kill for the title. We need to know why this is happening and prevent it from ever happening again."
"You mean, we have to take lives?" Kairi asked appalled. "I can't do that!"
"Dear girl, would you want your grandchildren and your great grandchildren caught in this mess? By then I would be soon for the grave and who knows if I will have my memory by then. We must end it now."
