A/N: I don't know when the next time I can update will be since I've got a lot of homework and other stuff that needs seeing to. I'll write another chapter as soon as I can. Please read and review.

Endless Abyss

Roxas and Kairi walked through the dark valley, following the light as closely as possible. Suddenly the light began to fade and Kairi grabbed Roxas by the arm, squeezing tight.

"What's happening Roxas?" Kairi asked him.

"I don't know," said Roxas. "I think we should keep going. Sora and Riku aren't going to rescue themselves."

"Ok," said Kairi, clinging to Roxas even more tightly.

Roxas and Kairi kept walking until the light was almost completely gone only a faint shadow of light was left. Roxas could feel Kairi trembling and so tried to keep her moving.

"Roxas," Kairi said.

"Yeah Kairi," said Roxas.

"I think we're being followed."

Roxas turned around and although there was almost no light could see something moving on the cliffs overhanging the valley. It looked like a human but was moving way to fast.

"Get behind me Kairi," said Roxas.

He held out his hand and something sparked in the air above it and then faded away. Roxas remembered that Master Aldan had said that no keyblades could be used in this place. Roxas growled and dropped to the ground, trying to find something he could use to defend himself..

Meanwhile Kairi watched as the shadows appeared to move closer towards her, creeping along the edges of the cliffs.

"Roxas!" she yelled.

Roxas leapt into the air holding a 3 foot long piece of jagged rock in his hand.

CRACK

The rock cracked and fell to the ground and Roxas was left defenceless agian. This time though he was better off. He had seen who he was up against and it was just a simple shadow heartless. Roxas rolled to his left and used the momentum to get to his feet.

"Kairi watch out, it's a heartless," said Roxas.

Kairi moved out of Roxas's way and suddenly a hand was over her mouth. She tried to scream but couldn't. She struggled with all her might but couldn't break free.

"What are you doing in our territory stranger?" asked Kairi's captor who Kairi guessed was female.

Kairi couldn't answer because the hand was still over her mouth and presently her captor must have realised it because she moved her hand.

"I'm looking for my friends Sora and Riku," said Kairi.

Kairi's captor held her hand up to Kairi's throat. "Who are you? How do you know Sora?"

"I'm Kairi," said Kairi. "Sora and Riku are my best friends and I've known them since I was a eight."

Kairi's captor let go of Kairi's throat."You're Kairi?"

"Yeah," she said.

"My master has been looking for you for many days." Kairi's captor released her and as soon as Kairi was free she turned around to get a look at who had been holding her.

Her captor was a woman with shoulder length reddish brown hair and silver earings. She was dressed mostly in ninja clothes, all like Yuffies except for the face scarve which covered her face. She was wearing hot pink palm gloves and a matching hot pink belt. A silver heart chain hung from her belt along with a small leather pouch.

Kairi stared at the face scarve andher captormust have noticed because she began to remove it revealing a face full of beauty, the most notable part of her being her jade green eyes.

"I'm Alexa," she said. "I can help you get find Sora." Alexa began to walk off into the distance but Kairi called her back.

"Wait! We can't go without Roxas."

"What? There's someone else with you?"

"Yes," said Kairi. "I think he's in trouble, we should go back and save him."

"There's nothing we can do for him," said Alexa. "I couldn't sense another presence there. He must already be dead. Let's go."

Alexa started to walk off again but Kairi called out to her. "He's a nobody, maybe you can't sense nobodies."

"Nobody?"

"When someone is turned into a heartless their hearts and memories seperate from the body. Their hearts turn into heartless annd their memories create a new body and in a sense another person. The only difference is that the nobody feels no emotions because it has no heart. All it has are memories of emotions."

"Whose nobody is he?" Alexa asked.

"Sora's."

Gummi Ship

Goofy and Donald were in a heap on the floor. Legs and arms were tangled with the ships chairs which Donald had enchanted so that they would have enough intelligence to play as well. Both Donald and Goofy were unconscious. Meanwhile the dark wielder stood by the controls, working his dark powers on them, trying to start the gummi ship.

"Hmm, I wonder what will happen if I do this," said the dark wielder as he closed his eyes and summoned his keyblade. It had been a long time since he'd held a keyblade in his hands but as soon as it appeared his fingers began to remember their old strength.

The dark wielders keyblade was evil looking. It was covered in spikes which jabbed out at odd places down the blade. The end was sharp enough to cut steel as if it were cheese. Merely looking at it reminded any normal person of dark memories they had experienced and when the memory was something of great importance to the person it could drive them crazy.

The dark wielder shoved the keyblade into the hole meant for the kingdom key and the gummi ship coughed for a moment. Then the whole ship shook violently, dislodging the enchanted chairs and the limp bodies of Donald and Goofy. The ship transformed into a evil looking ship, as spiky as the keyblade which created it.

"From now onwards this ship shall be called Gorefang!"
