The two make it back to the ship where, the child still hasn't woken up yet.
"So, what now?" Kairi asks.
"Now, we rest." Mando says before pulling a panel down on the wall, replacing the small, sort of, couch with a small bed. "The repairs won't be done until tomorrow, and we've worked our asses of today, so I'd say we deserve it." He says before climbing the ladder back up to the higher floor.
Once he is out of sight, Kairi figures out how to turn off the lights and allows her mind to drift of to sleep.
After awhile, a loud alarm blares from outside the ship, waking Kairi and the child, as can be heard from its crying.
"Whats going on." Mando demands as he appears, still with his armour on.
"I don't know, it must be something outside." Kairi says as she takes the child in her arms, trying to calm it down. Mando opens the door to reveal that the airlock has been blocked by a door and all the lights have turned red. "Please tell me this is just a drill."
"Guild doesn't have drills." Mando replies as he takes out his blaster. "Bring the kid, come on." Mando heads out into the hanger, Kairi following with the child, who has just calmed down. Moving into the first hallway, the lights are also red, making it even harder to see than when they were their previous colour. "Stay close." Mando orders as he slowly makes his way through the hallway. Kairi summons her key blade incase something tries to come up behind her.
Eventually, the two make their way to the command centre where they find it completely in shambles. Among all the forcully deactivated droids lie many shadow heartless which had now taken notice of them.
"How is this possible? Did someone smuggle these in?" Mando asks.
"I don't think so. Heartless can appear anywhere they want." Kairi explains.
"Thats a problem." Mando states as he readies to fire on said heartless. Before he can, a thundaga destroys all the heartless in the room. "Was that you?" Mando asks.
"No." Kairi says, excitement filling her. She then sees a neo shadow quicky spawn beside Mando and was ready to attack. "Look out!" She exclaims before Mando quickly turns to see the attacker, he is unable to shoot it fast enough, but before the heartless can lay a claw on him, a familiar looking key blade slices through it. After the heartless evaportes, the saviour can be seen clearly. It was Sora, just as he looked when Kairi last saw him with his signature Kingdom Key at his side.
"Friend of yours?" Mando asks.
"Yes." Kairi contains her excitement. "Sora!" She finally calls out.
"Kairi!" He calls back. If she wasn't carrying the child at the time, she would've pulled Sora into a hug. "I'm so glad your okay." He says to.
"Im glad your okay too." She says. "This is Mando. He helped me after Xemnas took me. Mando this is Sora, one of my closest friends."
"Nice to meet you." He nods to Sora.
"Sora, do you know what happened after I was taken?" She asks him.
"I don't think nows the time." Mando cuts in. "We have to get out of here." Its is then a snarling sound is heard.
"What is that?" Sora asks as he readies himself for a fight.
"I... recognize that sound." Kairi says.
"Trandosian." Mando finishes. Right after he says that, said trandosian walks into view. Before he spots the four, he is quickly shot by Mando. "Hurry! Find the controls to lift the lockdown!" Mando demands as more trandosians find the group and begin firing. The three make their way behind a console to take cover from the blaster fire. "I'll cover you. Find the lockdown override."
"I'm coming with you." Sora says before to the two get up and fire back at the hunters. Meanwhile, Kairi places down the child behind the console.
"Stay down here. We'll make it out of this. I promise." She says before rising out of cover to look through the controls. None of what she saw looked like what was needed. But before she can look any further, the electronics in the panel shut down. Kairi looks up to see a trandosian right on the other side of the panel, clutching a handful of wires.
"Your not going anywhere." He says as his slit eyes pierce Kairi's own. She quickly bats him away with Destinys Embrace before hitting him with a firaga. She then turns to the other battle just in time to see Mando get tackled by another trandosian into another room. She then looks to see Sora taking on the small armada of trandosians all by himself. He was alternating between close range attacks and spells flawlessly, successfully beating most of the forces. Just as all seems won, a trandosians is able to jump Sora and holds him down to the ground.
"Sora!" She exclaims as she aims Destinys Embrace to fire another firaga spell at the offending trandosian. Before she can do so, the hunter grabs Sora and holds him in front of him.
"Kairi! Get him!" Sora yells. Kairi hesitates, not wanting to hit Sora or have him get caught in the explosion. Before she can do anything, the trandosian fires his blaster through Sora and hits Kairi's leg, forcing her unto the ground.
"Useless." The alien says as he throws Sora on the ground. Kairi can barely think with the pain in her leg, but after awhile, her mind focuses on Sora. Was he alive after that laser went through him! The trandosian is now in front of Kairi looking down at her. He picks her up by the neck and lifts her into the air. "Useless. Like you always have been." 'Wait, how does he know about me?' Kairi thinks. 'It must be one of the organization members in disguise'
"Who... are you?" Kairi chokes out.
"That isn't important." He says as he levels his blaster pistol with Kairi's heart.
Next think Kairi knew, she woke up in a silent gasp aboard the Razor Crest. Her leg was no longer in pain. Taking a closer look, it hadn't been shot. 'The whole thing must have been a dream.' She concludes, but also on the verge of crying from her mind playing such a cruel trick on her. Having Sora find her when in reality, he has yet to do that. Not to mention she had to see him get hurt because of her, even if it wasn't the real Sora
Before letting any tears out, she feels a small hand grasp her arm. Looking to the hand she finds the child doing what she thought was attempting to comfort her. To her surprise, it was actually very effective. The tension and sadness from the dream just seemed to disappear, but she couldn't place why.
"Thank you." Kairi whispers to the child, to which it only smiles at her. After a few minutes of this, she picks up the child and places it back in its locker. "See you in the morning." She smiles before closing the locker and heading to sleep herself.
Luckily, she had no further nightmares for the rest of the night. Kairi figured it may have something to do with the child's power that Mando keeps talking about.
