Disclaimer- Ok, so I don't own anything from Kingdom Hearts or Squaresoft. (But Riku owns Me.:-P heehee)

Ok, to set things straight-- In this story, Sora is 15, so Riku is 16, and Lana and Haru are 15, got it memorized? (Hehehe, Axel!) I'm not sticking to stuff from 1 or 2, there's going to be a lot more from 2 later…. Does that make sense? If not, you'll get it later. :Chibi smile:

Chapter 6

"Wait, Sora we can't leave yet!" Lana grabbed Sora's hand and pulled him along through the first district.

"Why?" Sora asked, "Where are we going?"

Lana sighed and turned to face him. "I don't have a weapon or anything!" She pouted, pointing to Sora's keyblade.

"Oh…"

Lana nodded. "Now come on, there's a weapon shop over here!" Sora sighed and followed Lana into the shop. He was a bit concerned about how excited Lana got when she realized she had enough munny to buy a scary looking black hilted Kantana, but he decided as long as he didn't make her mad he'd be alright.

Lana and Sora walked out of the shop. Lana was ecstatic. She kept jumping around, swinging her new sword, and challenging Sora to fights.

"Yeah right, Lana. You'd stand no chance against me!" Sora said, laughing.

"Oh yeah? Let's see then!" Lana said, facing Sora and smirking devilishly. Sora drew out the keyblade.

"Ok! But I'm not going easy on you just because you're a girl!"

"I'm not going easy on you just because you're a boy!" Lana shot back.

Lana made the first move, running toward Sora full-speed. Sora stood still, and then slipped sideways at the last second dodging the attack. He spun around and somersaulted over Lana, landing behind her. But Lana was just as fast. Before he could attack, she whirled around, and her Kantana met the Keyblade. They struggled against each other for a moment, then Sora gathered all his strength and pushed against Lana as hard as he could. Lana flew back about five feet, landing on her back. She jumped to her feet, this time waiting for Sora to attack. Sora came at her, expecting her to jump out of the way. Instead, Lana waited until he was only a few feet away, and then threw herself into him, jamming her shoulder into his chest. Sora stopped dead, gasping for breath. Lana collapsed next to him, winded. "You ok?" She asked.

Sora nodded, standing up straight. "You're a pretty good fighter." He said, still a little out of breath. Lana laughed.

"Thanks. So, call it a draw?" She asked, slowly getting to her feet.

"Yeah." Sora said, smiling.

Then they heard Donald and Goofy walking up to them.

"Are you guys coming or what?" Donald asked, irritated. They nodded, and together they started towards the Gummi ship.

'Talk about déjà vu.' Riku thought as he opened a portal for Haru.

"Thanks Riku." Haru said quietly. Riku nodded. Haru stepped forward into the portal, disliking the strange feeling she got when the darkness surrounded her. She closed her eyes, trying not to think about what might happen to her. Then she opened them, panicking when she saw nothing but complete darkness. She took a deep breath, and terror filled her as she realized water was filling her lungs. Haru screamed, thrashing around madly. Tears clouded her vision, spilling over onto her cheeks. Her struggles grew weaker and weaker, until she couldn't move anymore, and gave into the nothingness that swarmed in her mind.

"Integra?" Sora said, squinting at the map. "I've never heard of this world."

"Well, let's land and see what it's all about." Lana suggested.

"Riku and Kiari might be there." Goofy said.

"Or the King." Donald added.

Lana looked away when Goofy mentioned Riku. Everyone still thought she had lost her memory. She wasn't sure if she could bring herself to tell them she lied. Sora noticed her change in mood.

"Lana, are you ok?" He asked.

"What? Yeah, I'm fine." She replied, smiling. She knew Sora could tell something was wrong, but she also knew that Sora knew it was pointless to pursue the point. Lana wouldn't tell him, anyway.

"Well, then it's decided, let's go!" Sora said eagerly.

Riku stood looking at what was left of a world destroyed by darkness. "What happened?" He asked.

"Darkness." Maleficent's said. "This is what happens when people are foolish and believe they can resist the darkness." She purred.

"Where's everyone who lived here?" Riku asked, disgusted. "They're all heartless, aren't they?"

Maleficent smiled maliciously.

'I can't do this anymore. I can't just stand by while everything is destroyed! Man, you've really fucked yourself up this time…' He thought. "I'm not going to be your little follower anymore. I won't give in to darkness!" With one swift movement, Riku pulled out the sword he carried and stabbed Maleficent through the heart. (A/N. Yes, Riku carries a sword now. So… chyeahh)

Maleficent gasped. She stumbled back as Riku slowly withdrew his sword. "You… ingrate. You'll never g-get Kairi's heart back without me. You-you'll pay for this."

Riku stared at her coldly. Then he turned around and walked away, not bothering to look back when he heard her body hit the ground.

The second Lana stepped foot in Integra, she knew. It was a charming little town with a few shops, a cute little hotel, and the rest were houses. She walked forward in a daze. Then she spun around to face Sora and the others. "This is it! This… is my home…" She said, ecstatic.

Sora smiled. He wasn't sure what to say, but he was really happy for Lana. Donald and Goofy were busy looking around. Lana walked through the town with her hands behind her back. She walked up to a woman who appeared to be in her thirties. "Excuse me," Lana said. Suddenly, the woman whirled around, grabbing Lana by the neck, choking her. Lana struggled for breath as she heard other people around her. "H-help Sor-a!" Lana tried to yell. All of a sudden the woman was torn off of Lana. She fell to the ground gaping for air. She looked up to see Sora standing in front of her along with Donald and Goofy, ready for a fight. Lana pushed herself up and stood next to Sora. "Heartless?" She asked.

"I don't think so…"

An older man threw a punch at Lana. She blocked it, and then thrust out the hilt of her sword, hitting him in the stomach. Sora blocked another person who was trying to get to Lana.

"What is going on?" Donald yelled, fighting off a few people with an ice spell.

Sora was about to answer when a large man threw him back away from everyone. He slammed against the outside wall of a house and struggled to get back up and suck air back into his lungs. Suddenly, something inside Lana snapped. She turned to the man, and as fast as lightning, pulled out her sword and slashed him across the stomach. The man looked up at her, stunned, and then fell to the ground dead. There was a momentary silence, and then everybody came back at Lana twice as viciously. Lana's mind went blank. She slashed out blindly, killing people with one swipe, but she didn't want to. It was like she was above her body, watching helplessly, as the destruction continued.

"Lana, wake up." Lana heard Sora's voice. He sounded weird, on edge. She slowly opened her eyes, noticing an uncomfortable wet feeling all over her body. She glanced down, and instantly wished she hadn't.

'This is a dream. This is a dream. No, no, no this can't be real.' She shut her eyes as tight as she could, tears starting to flow down her cheeks. She was lying in the road and she was covered, absolutely drenched, in blood.

"Lana…" Sora said again, still a bit wary, but this time more concerned. "Lana, talk to me. Are you alright?" He lifted her head up; trying to make sure she wasn't seriously hurt and also wanting her to speak... for her to say anything so he would know that she was ok. Lana opened her eyes again, sitting up by herself. She looked around in disbelief. Lifeless bodies of the people who lived there were strewn around the town, bloody and beat-up. She groaned.

"Sora… what happened." She asked, terrified of what Sora might tell her.

"I… We're not sure. You… changed. You weren't yourself." He said hesitantly.

"I did this? I k-killed everyone?" Sora nodded grimly. Lana tried to stand up, but fell back. Sora put one of her arms around his shoulders and helped her stand. Lana looked again at her blood stained clothes, and moaned in disgust. "I think I'm going to be sick." She staggered away from Sora, and then fell down on her hands and knees, throwing up.

Suddenly, she heard a voice from behind her. "Hello Lana. I see you have finally discovered your power. How fortunate!" It was a male, but Lana didn't recognize the voice. She slowly lifted her head to look at him. She gasped. The person was wearing a long black coat with a hood over their head, so she couldn't see their face. He walked closer to her, and kneeled down in front of her. "You could be of great use to the Organization."
"WH-who are you?" She was able to sputter out weakly. The man just stood up and laughed.

"All in good time. I'll see you again soon, Lana." He stepped back and vanished within a black portal, just like the one Lana used when she left Hollow Bastion.

"What? Wait!" She shouted.

"Lana, who are you talking to?" Sora asked, coming over to her and kneeling down next to her.

"Y-You didn't see him?"

"Who?"

"That guy! He was just here! He… he was wearing a black coat. Said something about an 'Organization.' You didn't… see him?" Sora shook his head, confused. Lana sighed. "Maybe… I just imagined it."

Suddenly they heard another voice behind them. "L-Lana? Is that you?" Standing behind them was a tall guy who looked about 18. He had short black hair and golden brown eyes, and was wearing black jeans, a red t-shirt, and a black over coat. He was staring at Lana, completely oblivious to anything and everything else around them.

"Depends. Who are you?" She asked warily.

"My name is Ty. I-I'm your brother."
