DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT MY ORIGINAL CHARACTERS!
A/N: You don't have to tell me... I ALREADY know I'm late. I was planning to have this chapter up late, last night, but I fell behind with writing it.
In case any of you are wondering why I fell behind, let's just say I've been playing Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep for the first time in ages - and on CRITICAL MODE, too! Now that I've almost obtained EVERY ABILITY on Terra's story, I'm feeling quite confident I'll be able to finish the game nearly to the maximum I can. After all, I'm doing the full game from the very beginning once more.
Anyway, enough chit-chat with what I've been doing lately! It's time for another chapter in the world of PIXIE HOLLOW.
Let's SOAR OFF TO TINKER BELL'S WORLD!
CHAPTER 10
From Bad To Worse
The sun was just beginning its cycle the following morning as its rays calmly protruded through the blades of grass at the tops of the cliffs surrounding Tinker's Nook. As the lights were coming to life within each of the different residential houses of each individual Tinker Fairy, Sora, Riku, and Violet had previously gathered at the Workshop with Tinker Bell, Bobble, and Clank. Although the three Tinker Fairies were intended to be busily working away, the only ones hard-at-work were Bobble and Clank. Not to mention, they were cheerfully chanting aloud together.
"We're preparing for Spring," Bobble chanted.
Clank added, "We do all this and more!"
"Yes," they vocalized in unison. "Being a Tinker is never a bore!"
All Sora, Riku, and Violet were doing was sitting together at a deserted mushroom-shaped table to the left of where Tinker Bell was situated. One glance at his friend and Sora was certain the Nightmare-incident had significantly dispirited Tinker Bell. Instead of singing along with the pair of boys, she was slouched upon her own table, gradually placing acorn-like lids onto the covers of matching acorn-resembling teapots. Her face showed hints of absolute boredom and developing irritability.
After a few more minutes of complete, overwhelming silence, a voice called out, "Tinker Bell! I'd like a word with you!"
To everyone's surprise — especially Sora's bafflement — a large fairy woman wearing a dress-like outfit made from green leaves, auburn hair in a bun, amber eyes, and clear wings came marching directly to Tinker Bell's table. The instant she saw the fairy woman, Tinker Bell hopped to her feet. Slightly startled, she exclaimed, "Fairy Mary!"
Sora took a swift second to realize the fairy woman appeared to be somewhat of an employer for the Tinker Fairies. If that was the case, she was more-than-likely aligned with whatever role Queen Clarion played in this particular world.
"I was out late on my deliveries… " Tinker Bell began assembling a lengthy list of excuses, though Sora knew for certain they were all fallacies. In truth, he and Riku had barely managed to prevent those owl-shaped Nightmares from dealing any harm to Tinker Bell after the latest attempt to control light had miserably resulted in utter failure. Fortunately, the enemies had been decimated after a few slashes from Sora and Riku's super-quick movements with their Keyblades. Thus, Tinker Bell had not only been saved from possible injuries, but had also succeeded in swooping out of harm's way extremely effectively.
"Save it! I know what you've been up to, missy!" Fairy Mary scowled, interrupting Tinker Bell's speech and breaking Sora's moments of recollection. After a brief minute, the fairy woman sadly continued, "…And I had such high hopes for you!"
After Fairy Mary had flown off elsewhere, both Bobble and Clank paused what they were doing. Bobble spoke up, "You'd do well to listen, Tink."
"Why?!" Tinker Bell retaliated. She picked up one of the acorn-designed teapots. "So I can do this my whole life?! I don't want to be a… a stupid Tinker!"
Sora's ears perked up the exact second the words had escaped Tinker Bell's lips. He was speechless; how could she ever say such a terrible thing?! He noticed Bobble and Clank showing immediate indication of shock and hurt feelings. Tinker Bell rapidly realized what she had spoken and sputtered, "…Guys, I didn't mean… I wasn't trying to… "
It was too late. The damage had already been done. Nothing else she could say would restore everything to how it was. Discouraged by this unfortunate incident, Tinker Bell sighed deeply. "I have to go," she muttered.
As Tinker Bell flew away from the Workshop, Sora, Riku, and Violet silently followed. After the events of the previous night, they had chosen to remain silent since they were still feeling a tad bit exhausted.
By the time the sun was approaching its pinnacle of High-Noon, Sora and the others had ventured with Tinker Bell to a section of the tree-tops within a forest of evergreen trees located a short distance from the site of Tinker's Nook.
While the four flew through the open air, Riku caught a glimpse of a pair of unusually-shaped pinecones carefully placed at the peaks of two of the shrubbery's tallest trees. Since the group was fluttering past at a slower pace, the Keyblader took the opportunity to watch closely as he thought he detected movement coming from within the pinecones. As his eyes focused in further, Riku realized he had spotted two fairy boys — one standing inside each pinecone. Noticing the pair of boy fairies carefully scanning their eyes across the encircling landscape, the silver-haired teenager began to ponder over whether or not they were meant to resemble lookouts. If they happened to be special-assigned lookouts, whatever would they be looking-out for?
His train of thought came to an abrupt close when the group arrived at a medium-sized nest crafted from small, tiny twigs. Within the nest was a trio of young, bluish-white birds. Hovering just beyond the nest was who Tinker Bell had travelled to see — the Animal Fairy, Fawn.
A few moments before the four reached the nest, Fawn had somehow helped one of the three birds take flight and head off for destinations unknown. As they approached, Fawn turned to greet the group with a large smile upon her face. Noticing Tinker Bell's hesitation, Fawn said, "Sure you're up for this?"
"A little nervous… actually." Tinker Bell admitted shyly. This reaction resulted in Riku's elbow bumping Sora's shoulder with a hint of mockery. In turn, Sora rubbed his shoulder with a stare of disapproval at his best friend. All Violet did was shake her head in amusement.
"Aw, you'll do fine," Fawn soothed, doing her best to reassure the group. "I'm teaching baby birds how to fly!"
"Cool!" Sora blurted enthusiastically. He quickly realized what he had spoken out loud when Riku, Violet, Tinker Bell, and Fawn stared straight at him in confusion. This made Sora cross his arms and look downwards.
"I'll show you what to do," Fawn began, petting the bird before her. "First, you smile… and establish trust!"
Just after, Fawn continued showing each and every step involved with aiding the bird with taking its maiden flight. Due to the lengthy list of the step-by-step process they were learning, Sora found himself yawning from time-to-time.
Finally the bird was able to depart from the nest, though any eyewitnesses would have taken into account of how much difficulty the creature was having flapping its wings fast enough to remain aloft. Thus, Fawn had informed her four "students" she would have to tag along to ensure it could master its ability to soar without any assistance. Immediately before she left with the bird, Fawn instructed the group, "Why don't you help that last, little guy?"
After Fawn had disappeared from view, Tinker Bell, Sora, Riku, and Violet whirled their attention into the nest. Directly inside was a little bird; its face showed possible fright. Uncertain this was such a good idea, Sora instantly decided to sit the activity out. Whenever it came to wild animals, there usually was no one more uneasy about how to handle them than Sora himself. Even Kairi was aware of this normally-hidden piece of trivia. To keep his distance, Sora situated himself upon one of the other branches a few feet above where the nest was set. He already knew he would have to ability to witness the whole event occur below without getting mixed into it.
With a deep sigh, Tinker Bell turned to Riku and Violet. "Okay," the fairy began. "We'll smile and establish… trust."
"Yeah," Riku affirmed. "That's what Fawn said."
"I comprehend!" Violet added in tune.
With that out of the way, Tinker Bell speedily spun to face the little bird in the nest. With a great, big smile, she proclaimed, "Hi there!"
As he watched with Violet, Riku instantly took note of how terrified Tinker Bell had inadvertently made the young bird feel. To make matters worse, the poor animal attempted to avoid Tinker Bell's hands anyway possible. All this resulted in was Tinker Bell getting flustered. Finally, she was able to get a decent hold on the creature, but the bird continuously pecked at her hands. All Riku could do was simply shake his head and smile.
From the branch above, Sora watched eagerly with amusement as Tinker Bell bounced about in the nest. No matter how desperately she tried to seize the bird, the latter would still manage to escape from her grasp. As he was beginning to laugh harder and harder, Sora overheard someone call, "Hey! Look at this!"
Spinning his head around to learn who had spoken, Sora quickly took into account the entertained expressions of the two lookouts witnessing the event from their pinecone-shaped posts.
All Sora did was give a shake of his head before turning back to what Tinker Bell was doing.
"All right," Tinker Bell finally shouted. "I am letting go!"
To Riku's surprise, the little bird immediately leaped from Tinker Bell's hands and landed upon a pile of egg pieces. With lightning-swift movements, the bird reassembled the fragments back into its eggshell and shut itself inside. With a deep groan, Tinker Bell sighed, "This is not working!"
"Maybe I could attempt this task?" Violet offered. The angel's suggestion rapidly fell onto deaf ears as Tinker Bell had stared straight up into the sky above. She swiftly took off into the air above, leaving a puzzled Riku and Violet waiting from the nest.
Looking upwards, Riku noticed a gigantic, bird-like shape hovering in the deep, blue sky far above the tree-tops. Although he was starting to question what it was, the Keyblade wielder watched as Tinker Bell swooped right at it. With a wave of her arms, the fairy called out, "Hey, up there!"
The only response was from neither the bird-like shape or Tinker Bell. The very minute it entered his ears, Riku froze; he knew what it meant.
"HAWK!"
The instant the shout from the lookout had registered inside his ears, Sora knew Tinker Bell was in grave danger. It wasn't the siren-resembling horns the lookouts were blowing, the blurred sight of the scurrying fairies heading for shelter down below, or even the automatic impulse to hastily seek a hiding place that confirmed his beliefs. Instead, it happened to be the sight of Tinker Bell speedily fleeing for anyplace she could duck inside for shelter with the hawk pursuing along behind.
However, one look at the hawk and Sora was certain there was something strange about it. When he saw its wings were yellow, its beak and claws were red, and its tail was orange, the Keyblade wielder immediately recognized the creature's true identity. With a loud voice, the words escaped his lips.
"A Nightmare," he exclaimed, staggering in surprise. "It's a big one, too!"
"Sora!" Riku's voice yelled, drawing Sora over to face the nest with both Riku and Violet within.
"We haveto rescue Tinker Bell!" Violet insisted.
"Right," Sora acknowledged, summoning his Keyblade. "Let's dothis!"
Nodding in return, Riku summoned his own Keyblade while Violet pounded her left fist into the palm of her right hand. Without a moment to waste, the three sped after the hawk-shaped Nightmare and the terror-stricken Tinker Bell.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the group to reach another tree where the hawk-shaped monster was about to attack a pair of fairies trapped on the end of a branch. A moment later, the three identified one of the two fairies as Tinker Bell herself.
Yet, the other fairy was still a complete stranger to them. Perhaps it was her purple vest with those pink feathers, matching pants and ballet shoes, long-black, ponytailed hair, gray eyes, and large, clear wings that stood out to Riku. Based on this appearance, he assumed there was a chance this other fairy might have been allied with the Darkness before. Still, who was she?
"Tinker Bell," the unfamiliar fairy growled. "If we get out of this alive, I'll… "
"Tinker Bell! Watch out!" Sora declared, interrupting the other fairy. At that exact moment, Sora, Riku, and Violet set foot upon the branch between where the hawk-like enemy was perched and where both Tinker Bell and the other fairy were located.
"Try us!" Sora snarled at the Nightmare above. He pointed his Keyblade directly at the monster — its blade reflecting off the High-Noon sun.
"What's that?!" the fairy cowering with Tinker Bell exclaimed in alarm.
Instead of replying, Sora charged forwards with his weapon as Violet marched forwards. In a loud, clear voice, the angel said, "You have been requested, Ryan!"
Out of the middle of nowhere appeared a flying dragon-like creature. It's body and tail were blue, its head was a yellow-greenish color, and its wings were a dark violet. Without a minute-long delay, Ryan swooped up to the hawk-shaped Nightmare and smacked the enemy's beak with its tail.
At the same time, Sora and Riku leaped into the air and slashed their Keyblades into the monster's wings and claws. After a few quick hits, the hawk-shaped Nightmare jumped into the air and retreated into the sky far above. Since the battle was over for now, Ryan hurried to where Violet was standing and vanished directly before the angel.
"Well, that takes care of that!" Sora grinned as he put his Keyblade away.
"Yeah, for now!" Riku reminded, putting away his own Keyblade.
All Violet did was shake her head once again. With that, Sora and Riku approached the spot where Tinker Bell and the other fairy were gathered. They quickly took notice that Tinker Bell was currently talking with the other fairy.
"Can I help you, Vidia?" Tinker Bell asked. This instantly clarified who the other fairy was, much to Riku's curiosity.
"Tinker Bell," Vidia scoffed. "Maybe if you had stopped trying to 'help', you might have caused fewer disasters!"
In the blink of an eye, Vidia flew off from the branch. She had left with such swiftness not even Sora had been able to detect her method of departure. Rather than say anything about it, Sora turned to Tinker Bell and said, "Tinker Bell… "
"I can't hold water," Tinker Bell instantly shouted in a state of uproar. "I can't hold light! Birds hate me! I'm just so… so useless!"
Before anyone could speak against what she had spoken, Tinker Bell flew off into the sky for an unknown destination. All the while, Sora repeatedly tried to seize her attention — to no success. He finally gave up and looked down.
"Sora?" Violet spoke up.
"Forget about me," Sora rapidly replied. "Tinker Bell… why don't you remember?"
Riku paused in deep contemplation. As far as the silver-haired Keyblade wielder was able to comprehend, Tinker Bell was most-likely one of the countless friends Sora had made acquaintance with during his previous journeys between worlds. However, the little fairy had absolutely no recollection of ever meeting the spikey-haired teenager. Had someone or something erased every chunk of memory she had obtained? If so, who or what? Could it have been another Nightmare? Or was it something entirely irrelevant? Either way, there was still going to be unanswered questions for quite some time to come.
"I'm not sure it'll help," Riku finally stated. "But maybe if we destroy that 'hawk'… "
Everyone else stared in anticipation. In turn, Riku finished, "…Tink's memory might return to normal?"
"Yeah!" Sora exclaimed. A moment later, he paused thinking over what he had heard. "…At least, I think it's worth a try."
"Perhaps," Violet agreed on cue. "There is no harm in trying. Correct?"
"Yeah! Of course!" Sora perked up. He somehow failed to notice Riku's smirked grin forming.
Without a minute's delay, the trio flew into the sky above to search for the current whereabouts of the hawk-resembling monster. As far as Sora could make out, the only way possible to restore Tinker Bell's seemingly stolen memory was by eliminating that dark, maybe-dangerous creature.
Recalling how the Queen of Heart's memory had been swiped by a gigantic Heartless back in Wonderland, Sora was certain this situation was no different. His mind came to a sudden halt when he realized his memories of defeating the Trickmaster Heartless [Leader] were not as accurate as he had known them to be.
In reality, he knew he, Donald, and Goofy had defeated the enemy after being directed straight to it by the mysterious, perplexing character comprising of the personality surrounding the Cheshire Cat. Yet, within these other memories, he recalled the Heartless stumbled upon him after swiping every last shred of memory the Queen of Hearts had.
How was it possible for one story to have two completely unrelated point-of-views? Sure, Sora had learned about how there were normally two sides to every story, but usually those sides were opposites of one another. Weren't they? Or were they meant to be so dissimilar from each other? As far as Sora was concerned, there was absolutely no easy-to-obtain explanation for such an occurrence.
All at once, Riku yelled loudly, "Over there!"
Both Sora and Violet turned their fields of vision into the direction of which Riku was now gesturing. The three had already flown out of the forest and were now soaring over a large, endless meadow of lush, green grass. Directly before them was the Nightmare whose figure resembled a hawk; the creature was calmly coursing through the air as though it was enjoying the nice, mid-afternoon air. Nonetheless, the group already were well aware of how much the creatures often behaved like that of various types of animals. Clearly, this one was no different from that of the others.
"Let's get 'em!" Sora declared, summoning his Keyblade before swooping after the monster. Unfortunately, the Nightmare identified the attacking Keyblader and swiftly dodged Sora's weapon. This left Sora both mystified and befuddled alike. Still, it wasn't enough to prevent the teen from reattempting to strike the creature.
Seeing Sora struggling to even achieve a solid impact on the Nightmare, Riku summoned his own Keyblade and charged into battle to aid his best friend. Moments before Riku could deal a single bit of damage onto the hawk-like enemy, the creature noticed him and swerved out of harm's way. Now able to comprehend how frustrated Sora was beginning to feel, Riku tried multiple times to clobber the monster — to no avail.
After nearly five minutes of unsuccessful attempts to injure the Nightmare, both Sora and Riku had grown so worn-out that their wings became too heavy to keep they aloft. The duo fell out of the air as the monster cawed out in victory.
When both Sora and Riku had managed to catch their breath, they took into account of the fact they had crash-landed upon a small mound of soft blades of the lush, green grass. They took a brief second to realize Violet had placed the mound accordingly so the pair wouldn't have been injured by the unexpected plunge from overhead. They nodded in relief and gratitude.
However Violet seemed frantically distressed. "Let's get going you two," the angel rushed. "The Nightmare is heading in the direction of Springtime Square!"
Sora's eyes lit up the instant he had heard every word the angel had spoken. As he sat up, the teenager noticed Riku was doing the same thing.
"Well, what are we waiting for?!" Sora exclaimed. "We've got a job to do!"
"Yeah!" Riku approved in agreement.
In the next few moments, the trio had taken flight at lightning speed to reach the location of Springtime Square. Along the way, they passed over a lengthy field full of golden-yellow sunflowers.
Noticing some of the flowers had been toppled with several fairies gathered about them, it occurred to Sora of how much devastation the monster was causing. In turn, he constantly hoped without a doubt they would arrive at the plaza before it was too late. If only they would get there first…
Finally, Sora, Riku, and Violet reached the plaza consisting of Springtime Square. Sadly, the three had arrived too late. As he swept his eyes across the surrounding area, Sora sighed in distraught disbelief. The whole plaza was filled with scattered debris. Among the debris was a vast array of an enormous variety of seeds. Alongside them were insects that resembled ladybugs except their colors were all mixed into what seemed to be splattered paint on an artist's canvas.
"We didn't make it," Sora sighed in a tone of depression. Both Riku and Violet gave slight nods in return.
At that moment, the three spotted Tinker Bell standing within the plaza, horror showing upon her face. The little fairy was barely able to speak, "Oh no!"
"Tink," Silvermist exclaimed as she flittered from elsewhere over to where Tinker Bell was at. "What happened?"
"Tinker Bell," Rosetta exclaimed in turn as she also emerged from someplace else. "What did you think you were doing?!"
"She didn't do anything!" Sora snapped aloud, seizing the undivided attention of Silvermist, Rosetta, and Tinker Bell.
"Yeah," Riku added. "We were trying to get rid of the 'hawk'!"
"There isn't a fairy alive who can control those things!" Rosetta argued. Her face had transformed into a fiery glare. "What were you trying to do?!"
Sora and his friends turned to each other, only to exchange blank looks with one another. Noticing this, Silvermist turned to Tinker Bell. "Rosetta is right," the Water-talent Fairy spoke up. "This has all gone too far now."
A full minute hadn't even passed after Silvermist had spoken before a bright flash of golden light filled the air above. As it subsided, the unmistakable figure of Queen Clarion appeared in its place. One short glance upon the plaza was all it took for Queen Clarion's eyes to expand in alarm. "By the second star," she exclaimed. "All the preparations for Spring! How did this… "
Before the queen could complete her sentence, Tinker Bell strode forward with a guilty look on her face. As tears began to form within her eyes, Tinker Bell said, "Queen Clarion… it was me. I did it… it's all my fault."
"Tinker Bell… " Queen Clarion stated in astonishment. Regretfully, not even the queen's words would have been able to reassure the depressed and hopeless-feeling Tinker Fairy.
"I'm sorry!" Tinker Bell wept into her hands.
As Sora stepped forwards, he gently placed his hand onto Tinker Bell's shoulder. When the fairy turned to see what was going on, Sora said, "It wasn't your fault, Tinker Bell!"
After a brief pause and a short sigh, the brown-haired teenager continued, "It was mine!"
Even so, Tinker Bell stepped out of Sora's reach. "But who's idea was it to try to switch talents?!" she countered. "It wasn't yours! It was mine!"
Having spoken the hard-to-accept veracity, Tinker Bell solemnly departed from the plaza and ventured off to someplace else. At the same time, she soared past the white flower the fairies had referred to as the Everblossum. As its petals were hinting the ever-approaching day they would open up, Sora knew this meant there was very little time left before the fairies were supposed to be bringing Spring to the 'Mainland'.
All the same, once Queen Clarion had departed to hold an emergency meeting with the Ministers of each season, the fairies who had already been in what was left of Springtime Square began to scoop up whatever debris they could.
In the meantime, both Riku and Violet walked up to where Sora was now looking down once more. Following a glance with the angel, Riku said, "Sora? Are you feeling alright?"
"No," Sora initially answered. As he looked back up, the teenager spun around to face the other two. "I don't get it! Tinker Bell's my friend — she showed me how to fly! How does she not remember that?!"
Both Riku and Violet crossed their arms in deep pondering. Before any of them had the opportunity to consider any of the recently-acquired information regarding the little fairy, they were interrupted by a strange, yet familiar voice.
"The friend you know here is not the Tinker Bell you remember!"
Whirling around in place, the trio gasped at the mere sight of who turned out to be none other than the mysterious stranger they had previously encountered back in both Traverse Town and Corona. Now he was confronting them in this Sleeping World, too. However, his golden eyes seemed somewhat darker than usual.
"You're here?!" Sora blurted. "What do you mean by that?!"
"There are two Tinker Bells?" Violet randomly suggested. This resulted in a series of puzzled looks in return.
"Not two Tinker Bells," another deep, darker voice called out. "But there are still two hearts!"
Hastily turning to the left, Sora, Riku, and Violet spotted another figure just emerging from a dark portal. It was a tall, dark-tanned man with amber eyes and long, spiked-white hair. He was wearing a white-and-black coat with a red lining over a white shirt, white gloves, and black boots. The upper part of his shirt was unbuttoned, thus revealing a symbol one might have easily recognized as the infamous Heartless Emblem.
One simple look was all it really needed for Riku to immediately identify who the new arrival was. Before the silver-haired Keyblade wielder could seal his lips, the words had already escaped for all to hear and [possibly] comprehend.
"You're ANSEM!"
At the Pixie Dust Tree, Tinker Bell flew silently to the well. It was here she had gotten her daily dose of Pixie Dust. Now, she had simply come to mope. She knelt down beside the golden lake and peered into the sparkly dust. A few tears started to form in her eyes.
"You okay, Tink?" a voice asked.
Tinker Bell nearly jumped until she realized who was speaking to her. It was a young male fairy an acorn cap, brown pants, a tan shirt, a brown vest, and brown shoes. She hastily wiped the tears out of her eyes. "Yeah, I'm… fine. I just… came hoping for a quick refill. I'm going away for a while."
The boy fairy could tell Tinker Bell was upset. He had already heard all about the calamity in Springtime Square. He took out his cup and hovered over the lake of Pixie Dust. "Oh… how long you gonna be gone?" he inquired.
Tinker Bell sighed. "Well, actually… forever."
He stopped in place for a moment, allowing the words to sink in. "Forever," he grinned and calmly scooped up a cupful of dust and flew it back to the young Tinker Fairy. As he poured it over her head, he added, "Well, in that case, a double-scoop. Forever's a pretty long time, so I hear."
He flew off. Tinker Bell reached up and felt the dust dripping off her head. "Thanks, Terence," she said.
Terence stopped mid-flight. "You… you know my name?"
Tinker Bell shrugged with a look that seemed to read "Of course!". "Well, yeah! Why shouldn't I?"
"I don't know," Terence shrugged in turn. "I'm just the dust-keeper guy. I'm not exactly seen as the most-important fairy in Pixie Hollow."
Tinker Bell stared at him, her mouth open and eyes wide. "Terence, what are you talking about?!" she exclaimed. "You're probably the most-important one there is! Without you, nobody would have any magic!"
She started to hover in the air. "Why, your talent makes you who you are! You should be proud of it! I-I mean—!"
"I am," Terence declared suddenly.
Tinker Bell stared at him. She thought back over what she had been told time and time again. Now, going to the Mainland did not sound so important to her. She wanted to fix things, yet she was not sure if she could… or something like that.
Terence gave her a friendly nod. Tinker Bell gave a shy smile and pointed away. "I… I better get going."
She started off. She glanced back to see Terence waving. She gave a wave in return. Within seconds, she was high in the air and soaring away from the enormous tree.
She was deep in contemplation over why she could see in Terence what she could not see in herself….
A/N: ANSEM?! IN PIXIE HOLLOW?! HOW CAN THAT BE?!
Hmm... I suppose we'll be finding out in the next chapter or so.
Either way, I sincerely apologize for such a "dark-sensation"-full chapter, which actually happened to be THIS particular one.
Still, there MIGHT be a few more "dark-tone" chapters yet to come in the remaining chapters I've already got planned out.
By the way, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE WITHOUT REVIEWING! THE FATE OF THIS STORY DEPENDS ON IT!
This is SoraLego278 saying, "See Ya Later, Keybladers!"
