Chapter 6: Soulless Eyes

Alita stared out to the 'Solemn Edifice'. There was a strange beauty to the ice water. She sighed. She had been there for about a week. Many times she would black out. It was becoming more and more frequent. But the problem was she didn't knew what was going on and was afraid of what was happening in the absence of her mind. (I like making the reader's think of which Alita they are previewing until a certain thing comes that makes you go like Ooooo!) She then turned to her room and fell to the bed. Nothing was really going on now. Sora and the gang were still charting plans on where to go. They've only been to one world and there was not much there that they could go on. There was a knock on the door. Alita jolted up and cleared her throat.

"Yes? Come in." she called. The door opened to reveal Riku and Kairi.

"Hey! Just coming to check on you. Haven't seen you all day." Kairi came and sat on the bed.

"Yea, we were worried." Riku said without feeling.

"Yea, I can soooooo tell that you were worried." Alita laughed. " So, what's on the agenda for this week?"

"Well, Sora thinks we should head to 'Beast's Castle'. He thinks Beast would have some info and we could get a good lead." Kairi shook her head. Alita got up to close the doors to the balcony. Riku stepped behind her. She tripped on to him.

"Oh...sorry." she said. Lately she's been really clumsy.

"It's okay." he helped her to feet. "Well, we're hoping that we get a leave soon. This is killing us, not having the upper hand on our enemy." Alita nodded and looked to the window.

"Well, since we should leave soon, and this time I WANT to go, you should leave so I may take a shower." Alita grinned.

"Please it would help us all!" Riku joked. He was greeted by a pillow at his head.

"That was soooooo not cool man!" Alita laughed. Kairi and Riku said their good-byes and Alita was left alone. She waited till she couldn't hear their footsteps anymore. She turned to the center of the room and waved her hand. A hole of darkness appeared. She scratched her head and walked in.

Xemnas stared at the dark abyss that surrounded this pitiful world. There were moments that he wished he wasn't returned to life, he had nothing to do and every time he was with his 'master' there was something strange going on within him. He didn't know what or why. He just wished it would end. Memories of his former life and his true life would come to mind but that would only fuel him to strive harder to work. Suddenly, he could smell the scent of a rare flower. It didn't have a name, but had a smell that was intoxicating. It just striped you of all control.

"What are you thinking about?" he jumped at the voice next to him. There leaning over the railing was Alita. She was radiating that scent. He regained composer and cleared his throat.

"I was just wondering when I could do something...ANYTHING! I've been locked up here and with nothing to do, even a nobody gets bored." he growled.

"Ah yes, but the more you wait the more you become stronger." she smiled to him. He straightened up more.

"I don't follow."

"The anger and revenge just builds in you" she looked at the way he was standing. He was always so stern. After everything was done she'd have to loosen him up, by any means possible. He was still give her a look of confusion. "Just trust me...you will have your moment to shine."

"So what of the brats?"

"Their not brats! And I've seem to infiltrated quite well. But I keep getting those damn black outs. They wouldn't let me come on their voyage to a world because of them. It wasn't fair." she pouted.

"If I didn't know better, I'd think that you were growing a liking to them." Xemnas went behind her and put a hand on her shoulder. She looked at it. Then took a bite. He snatched his hands away, barely in time.

"Don't make stupid accusations of what you do not know about!" she yelled.

"Alright!" he held his hands in surrender. "I just don't want you to loose sight of what you are here for, even if I don't even know what that is." Alita sighed and turned to him.

"My follower...they're losing faith in me. I attack a world, but do nothing to the people. They think I won't get ride of the blasted keybearer. But they don't know the true reason for what I do. I even see you losing faith, if you ever had any." She was certainly stressed.

"I believe you can do it. But you need to give them what they want." he yawned.

"Yes, your right. It's time I give them something to regain faith in me. It's time for the blood to flow..."

"Well what are we waiting for!" Donald yelled as they waited in the 'Resting Room'.

"Alita, she wanted to come and we can't just not let her come. She too welds a keyblade." Sora growled at the small duck.

"Well, Is everyone ready?" They all heard from the door. There was Alita, her hair wet from the shower. She was dressed the usual robes as everyone was wearing what they usually did. These people needed a serious wardrobe change. Everyone nodded and they all headed to the Gummi. It was quite big and could comfortably sit about 9 people. Sora and Donald sat in the first two seats. Both fighting for control of the ship. Kairi and Goofy were next. Then it was just Riku and Alita. Sora finally got the controls and started the ship. This was Alita's first time on a ship, well at least from what she remembered. When they were ascending in to the air Alita got scared. She grabbed for the armrest. Well since the seats were connected she accidentally grabbed Riku's hand. He made little attempt to get her off. She didn't really realize that she was holding on to him until they were in space, riding smoothly.

It was not long before they reached the world of the Beast. It was a dark world, but you could see there was still a slip of light on it. They landed on the 'Bridge'. Sora helped Kairi and Alita off. How sweet, but not enough, Alita thought to herself. Once her foot touched the ground a splitting headache ran through her. Not wanted anyone to notice she went to the other side of the ship. Hold the side of it to keep her steady. Once it was gone she looked around. Where? What?, was all she could think. Well she didn't want her new friends to think of her as insane, so she just went up to them pretending all was as it should be. She smiled to them and they smiled back. Not noticing anything wrong. They walked to the 'Courtyard' to the 'Entrance Hall' there they were greeted by something they didn't want.

Heartless rose and appeared in out of thin air. More than at 'The World That Never Was'. Different kinds also. Aeroplanes, Armored Knights, Shadows, NeoShadows, Assault Riders, Crescendos, Bolt Towers, Emerald Blues, and Fat Bandits. Sora, Kairi, and Riku materialized their keyblade. Donald and Goody readied their weapons. There was going to be a fight and not a good one. Alita just stood there. What was she suppose to do? She didn't have the knowledge on how to materialize anything. She looked around. Everyone was already engaged in battle. There were spells being cast and reflected. She closed her eyes tight. Please, please, please. Let me have something to protect myself!, she screamed in her head. And as if she just unlocked something a swarm of light surrounded her arm. And as it dissipated there in her hands was the keyblade she held when they first met, the Ultima. The chain wrapped around her arm. She wondered why it wasn't like that for the others. But now wasn't the time to speculate anything. She readied her weapon and when the heartless finally noticed her and started to attack, she did the same. One by one they dropped and died, hearts being released. They then heard something welcoming. A loud roar came from the stairs. On the top infront of the 'Ballroom' was Beast. He came galloping down the stairs and with a ferocious swipe of his claw the remaining heartless died.

"Whoa it's good to see you again." Sora walked up to him. Beast just snorted and nodded. He wasn't exactly the social type.

"Sora?" a women's voice called. Belle came running down giving him a hug and everyone else.

"Hello Belle." Sora nodded.

"Why are you back, and why are those things back?" snarled Beast.

"We don't know." Riku said rubbing his eyes and dissipating his keyblade. Sora and Kairi did the same. Alita just held on to hers. She was afraid.

"Who is she?" Beast sniffed in her scent.

"Alita, she's a friend, but we can get to that later. We need some information from you, if you have it." Sora was stern now. He had to get the job done. Beast just snorted and went to the 'Parlor'. Everyone followed. Everyone sat down and Sora began to explain the story to Beast. He told him about the new enemy, Maleficent, and what's been happening to the worlds.

"Oh, yes that has happened to our world as well." Belle chimed in. "Back in the town, where I use to live, there is a strange blackness covering half. The people are to afraid to go near."

"Will you take us there?" Sora jumped. Belle nodded. Everyone got up and was heading toward the door. Beast took Sora by the arm and whispered into his ear, "I'm sorry that I don't have information on Maleficent for you, but that girl you're with...don't trust as far as you can throw her. There's something about her." Sora didn't understand but nodded anyways. They had to go see what was going on in the town.

When they made it to the town people were already in their homes. Maybe they never left their homes now. From outside it looked as if it were abandoned. But in plain sight, not to hard to see, was the darkness Belle and Mickey spoke of. It wasn't necessarily a blob of darkness but it wasn't just dark. You could not see into it. It pulsated. Sora and Riku looked at it with disgust, the new enemy was just wrong. Alita stared at it with fascination. She didn't know why, but it just captured her.

"Are you here to take away the darkness?" they heard from behind. It was the baker. He risked coming out.

"We're going to try!" Kairi said with joy. The baker smiled and nodded, but with that only tragedy came. The darkness shot out for him. It grabbed a hold of him by the stomach. He screamed as he tried to escape. Sora held his keyblade. Riku tried hard to pull the baker from being pulled in. Kairi was pushing people back in their homes and they were coming out to see what was happening. Sora, Donald and Goofy started to attack the stream of darkness holding the baker. But each attack just went right through. Alita just stood there. Not knowing what to do. It just seem to fascinate her. The man screamed and the screams were piercing and terrible. Riku couldn't hold on much longer. And when he did let go...well it was not great. The darkness swallow up the man. Then out of no where it threw him back, but it wasn't him. The body was so mangled that you could hardly recognize him. His head was tilted to far, his neck was snapped, flesh was tore off him, and blood ran freely. Kairi screamed and was suddenly comforted by Sora. Alita started to hyperventilate. It was a disturbing sight...but what was more disturbing was that some part of her liked it. She turned away and Riku did the same as Sora and comforted her. After that they went back to the castle, said their good-byes, and left for Hallow Bastion.

It had been another week after the scene before any of them made an attempt to plot the next coarse of action. Alita spent most of her time in her room. Riku was on the 'High Tower'. Kairi was with Yuffie, trying to forget. Sora was just wandering aimlessly. Today Alita decided that she wanted to go to the library. She had a sudden urge to search for a book. In the back of her head there was a name, but it just wouldn't reveal itself to her. The whole day she spent looking up and down the books in search for the mystery book. Then while up on a latter she found something that caught her eye. 'The Inner and Outer Demons Of KH'. KH? What's that?, she thought. She grabbed the book. But unknown to her Sora was watching her. Studying her every action. He finally decided to speak.

"What do you have there." He was trying to play it cool. But he had scared her and she lost balance. She gave a scream and closed her eyes ready for the fall. When she stopped falling and didn't feel the pain of the floor she opened her eyes. They were met by the deep blue eyes of Sora. She looked at herself. One foot still on the latter the other in the air. Her arms hold the book tightly toward her. She then looked back into his eyes. They say that when you look into the eyes off someone, you see their soul. She could see Sora's soul. It was light and had a pureness to it. But when his eyes searched hers', he couldn't find anything. Like there was nothing to her. Nothing that kept her like the way she was. He was looking into Soulless Eyes.
