I do not own anything of Kingdom Hearts or the characters thereof.

Sora-Oathkeeper: Yes, that is sad but I will do better! Also I'll go back and look at the first chapter just for you... This isn't so bad, 17 pages for only four chapters. I also added in that thing we talked about. X3


Chapter 2: Continuing Forward

That evening everyone left to go home, and I stayed at the island. I watched everyone row to the coast from the highest platform. By then the sun was halfway under the water and it cast a beautiful reflection. I had only seen something like that once, and that was when I was on the ocean back home.

Casting the memory aside, I walked to the place I said I would sleep. After that day's events I was tired, and I just wanted to sleep. I grabbed the pillow that was left there by someone and threw it on the ground. Then slowly set myself on the ground, the floor was wood and I didn't think flopping on the floor was a smart idea… ok it was just common sense. Even though the floor was hard, I was asleep before I knew it.

I was awakened by something slamming into something outside. I jumped up and ran outside. The wind hit me in the face with a force that pushed me a step back. A storm had come up while I was sleeping, and it was bad. For some reason I thought of the raft, and jumped down the platforms again. After hitting the sand, I dashed toward the other side of the island.

I reached the raft and pulled it ashore, I was disgusted that four of us were to fit on this thing. After the raft was safely in the trees I went around the other way as the storm finally arrived. There was a little hole in the side of a cliff thing and I crept through it. As soon as I reached the other side I saw Sora running across the sand fighting off these small black things that just popped up out of know where! They kept on poking him and jabbing him with there sharp claws.

"Sora!" I cried out, then something behind me pushed me and I fell to the ground flat on my face. The ground was about ten feet below so that hurt… a lot. Unfortunately Sora didn't hear me, but I crept into the tunnel that I had fallen by, the dark cave…

I stumbled all the way to the back where the 'door' lay open, but just barely. Something inside me told me to run, and it wasn't the voice from before. As I turned Kiari ran into the room screaming, there was one of those things following her. She ran behind me and yelled, "It's after me!"

I nodded and turned to the 'shadow', that's what I called it, as it ran toward me, "You leave her alone!!" and ran to it and kicked it hard. It sorta' whimpered I guess and shrunk to the ground and scurried away.

With an odd look on my face like I had just witnessed something possible but odd I said, "Ok that was to easy..." then turned my attention to Kiari. I turned around and she was staring at me the same way. "What?"

Kairi looked at me thankful. "Thank you."

I nodded, "Don't mention it." I smiled at her.

Kiari returned my smile and as I started to ask if we should leave the door flung wide open behind Kiari and started to suck her in. Kiari started to scream and I ran behind her and grasped her in order not to let her fly into the opening.

My back to the door and slowly dragging us in, Kiari looked up at me scared to death. I tried to look cheerful but obviously not working, I told her, "Don't worry, it'll be ok. I got you and I'm not letting go." Only the opening was winning the fight. I looked around and found a tree root that was stable and spoke to Kiari, "Grab on to that root over there!"

"What?" she looked around. "That one?" she nodded her head in that direction.

"Yes that one, ready?"

"Ya, on three." She replied then she counted, "One… Two… THREE!"

I threw Kiari to the root and tried to stay grounded. Kiari reached the root and gripped it tight. She looked at me, "Kyde!!"

I smiled and assured her, "I'll see you again, don't worry about me. Just stay with Sora and Riku ok?"

Tears seemed to fill her eyes as she nodded, "I will, I promise!"

"I'll get to you, some how, I'll find you guys!!"

She nodded as a tear rolled down her cheek, "I know you will, I'll be waiting."

I was to the door now and I was holding the sides, "Good bye, Kiari." and with that I let go and was flung into the void.

I think I was dreaming, but here it is.

I was floating around in nothingness, weak, tired, and darkness starting to take over me. I couldn't stop it, I was too weak. As darkness started to engulf me a bright light shown above and a sword appeared from within it.

"Kyde, take the Forgotten Memories KeyBlade, also called 'Gazuto'. This blade has chosen you as its master, as the Protector. Use this blade wisely child and it will protect you from the darkness that is spreading through you and through out the universe. Protect the KeyBlade Master, protect the worlds, protect those you care about, and help Sora open the door to the light…"

The voice sounded like the dragons… I slowly reached up and grabbed the hilt of the sword, and then light shot through me and stopped the darkness from taking over. I laid my arm down, sword in hand, and felt myself change. Slowly, I began to drift down, and suddenly I was lying on stone. Felling better now, I stood slowly and found myself in a town, I saw a blinking sign that said

'WELCOME to TRANVERS TOWN".



"Where am I?" I said then looked down, 'Could that dream be real? What does it mean? I don't have that sword, so it had to be a dream.' I started to look around, I saw some people but they didn't act like me just appearing out of nowhere wasn't a new thing to them. So I didn't pay them much attention. I went into a store that was up some steps and found a blond guy.

"Hey another kid! What's up with this place nowadays?" the man said form behind the counter.

"Another kid? But I haven't seen anyone but me around here; wait was hey my height and brown hair?"

"??? What? You do know that kid! Ya he was here…"

"Well where did he head off to? If you tell me maybe I'll buy something." I coaxed him.

"What ever you say kid, he went to search the other store down the stairs." He jerked his thumb down behind him.

"Thanks! Now show me what ya got." I said walking closer to the counter and leaning on it.

He showed me tons of equipment! More than I have seen in my life anyways, there were shields, staffs, and a KeyBlade chain, then I saw some other stuff and got it just because I thought they might be in handy later.

"That it for you kid?"

"The name's Kyde, grandpa."

"Then call me Cid." He smiled.

"Ya that's it for me."I told Cid good bye and started to the other shop, I went down the stairs and went to the door of the other shop when a voice stopped me from going in.

It said, "So you are the chosen one?"

Sora jerked around from where he was standing, when I finally noticed he was standing there, "Who, who are you?"

"I can't believe it chose you, what can you do? You're just a kid."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Sora backfired.

"Oh well I'll just have to test your strength, if your worthy to wield the KeyBlade." The man pulled out his sword that looked like a large gun but I could tell it was a sword.

Sora got his KeyBlade and the man pointed his sword at Sora and pulled a trigger! It was a GunBlade he wielded! I had only heard of those in fantasy books. Fire formed around the spot where the gun started and shot at Sora. Unknowing of what he was up against Sora jumped out of the way and then charged his opponent. Hitting him and being pushed back, this went on over and over again until finally the man went to his knee and Sora mumbled something and started to fall back.

"Sora!" I ran and caught him before he hit the ground.

"You're loosing your touch Squall." A girl's voice said.

The man didn't notice me, he looked behind him, "Still things are worse than we thought."

I ignored their ignorance to me, "Sora come on wake up!"

The girl lifted her head from where she was looking, "Squall, where did she come from! I didn't see her there did you fight her to?"

Did they not see me? "No but he will for hurting my friend here, Master of the GunBlade."

Leon turned to me, "How do you know me? I certainly don't know you, you don't look familiar."

"Just shut up and fire your sword!" I said suddenly keyblade in hand.

They both stepped back, and the girl ran up behind Squall and pecked from behind him, "Squall, is it real? That's a KeyBlade!"

Squall sheathed his sword where ever it was and walked toward me. He stopped right in front of me and tapped my sword with his hand. "Who are you? What purpose do you serve? There can only be one Keyblade Master, yet you hold one in your hand as this boy."

"Well if you're so smart, why don't you tell me why?"

"You'll get the answers to the questions you ask, just like your friend."

"What? But you're asking the questions here-"

Leon squirted some powder on my face that made me sneeze, "What is this? You used this on Sor, Sora…" I sat down next to Sora looked at my KeyBlade and it disappeared. I fell back but wasn't fully asleep, I heard Squall kneel down next to me.

"Well she's not asleep: somehow she's overcoming it. I'll carry her, you take the boy."

"Why so strict, Squall?"

"Because."

"Awww you got that look again, what are you thinking?"

"If the legend is really true."

"We know it is the boy is right there."

"No I mean the other part of the legend, now hurry before they wake up, especially the girl, she's feisty."



"Kyde, Kyde…" someone started to shake me, "KYDE!!!!!"

I opened my eyes and the room was moving or I was still being shaken, I saw Sora and he was shaking me. "I'm up! Let go, STOP!" I elbowed him in the arm, and he let go.

"I'm glad you're ok," he rubbed his arm, "but how are you here, and where is everyone else?"

I sat up from a bed and looked at the room; Squall, the girl and Sora were there. "You tell me Sora." I looked at Squall, "What does Squall here know?" I said.

He got mad, "It's Leon!" he stepped closer.

The girl stopped him.

"Well then," I put my hands on my hips and stood up, "I'm going to go look around." I just wanted out of there. "Coming Sora?"

Leon's arm stopped me at the door, "It's not safe."

"Leon's right, the Heartless is searching for the Key Blade."

"And what does that have to do with me?" I gave her the eyebrow lift look.

"You're the Protector." Leon said.

"HOW in the freakin World or World's does everyone Know THAT!!?" I yelled turning around facing everyone.

All the while Sora was just sitting on the bed going 'what?'Leon was about to say something when something came crashing through the window of the room.

"A Heartless, Yuffie get out of here!" Leon said.

Yuffie nodded and slammed through the door at a run.

"You two come with me!" the Heartless jumped back out the window.

Sora and I followed without a moment's hesitation. We ran down some hallways and through a door to the outside.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"Second District." was Leon's answer. He continued to run again down some stairs and around into an alley. He stopped at a door that had a large '3' on it. "They are probably coming from here." Leon said to himself opening the door. "Quickly! Go in!"

"But what about you?" Sora asked while waiting at the door.

"I'll keep this area clear, now go!"

Sora nodded and I shrugged, "Fine, just be careful Squall." I ran through the door.

"It's LEON!" was all I heard before the door shut.

Sora was already down some stairs onto a main level. The area was small but a good place for fighting. I heard a large crash and I ran to the stairs looking down. Sora was on the ground with two things on top of him.

I ran down and stopped right next to them, "What is this? Some kind of party?" I asked.

Sora and the other two finally stood up. "Who are you?"

"I'm Donald Duck." the smaller one said pointing to himself with his… 'thumb'. He looked like a duck, probably why his last name was 'Duck'.

"And I'm Goofy." He did the same as the smaller one. He looked like some kind of dog.

"And were here to help the one with the KeyBlade." Donald said.

I sighed, "That would mean him." I pointed to Sora.

"I'm Sora nice to meet you."

"Kyde's the name."

"Why are you here to help me?"

"The King ordered us to protect the one with the KeyBlade." Goofy replied.

'I thought that was my job.' I thought to myself.

"Just in case the Protector fails." Donald added.

"And who said I was going to!?" I blurted out without thinking.

Just then a large rumble started and the ground shook. As we all tried to keep our balance, Goofy pointed up. "Look!"

I looked and a large Heartless that looked like body armor was falling toward us. I pushed Sora out of the way and jumped the other way just in time for the Heartless to land. Luckily Donald and Goofy jumped out of the way also.

"A Heartless!" Donald yelled.

"No really?!" I yelled back. I looked to Sora who was standing now. "We have to fight. Call the KeyBlade!"

Sora nodded and the KeyBlade appeared in his hand. That's when it hit me, I didn't have a weapon! 'Yes you do! You're KeyBlade.' The voice inside me said. I closed my eyes and tried to 'look inside myself'. 'Com'on, I really need to hurry!' A bright light appeared inside me and it forced me to open my eyes. There was a KeyBlade in my hand.

At the end of the KeyBlade was a wing, a dragon wing. It was black and purple with two spikes sticking out of the end. Then two bands crossed each other three times, each had spikes on them like those on a dragons back, and they were silver. The bars themselves were different, one was black and one was purple with some silver on them. They came together at the hilt which looked like a dragons claws and the talons came to a point on the bottom of the hilt. The bar in the center of the hilt was black with silver swirls; the hilt itself was black and purple. Where the talons came together multiple treads of purple, silver, and black dangled from it and attached to them was half a heart, it was silver and had swirls also, and looked like it had been broken from it's other half.

I got into a fighting stance with my blade in front of me and then ran toward the Heartless. Donald was using Magic, Goofy was using a shield, and Sora and I were using KeyBlades. We hacked, slashed, everything at the Heartless. Slowly it started to lose pieces of itself. An arm there, then a leg, the other arm, the other leg-until there was just the head and torso left. Sora finally made the final move on it landing on the ground next to me. We watched it disappear into the sky.

"Well that was easier than I thought it would be." I said making my blade disappear before anyone got a good look at it.

Sora's disappeared also, "So that was a Heartless."

Donald and Goofy walked up to us, "You're the 'Protector'?" Donald gave me a look.

'Dang I was hoping that he would have spaced it during the fight.' "Yes, at least someone didn't know that." I crossed my arms.

"So the King was right. The Protector did come!" Goofy said.

I didn't want to push the matter about this 'King' so I let it be.

"Well then lets be friends." Sora shrugged.

'He's going childish on me…' We all nodded and walked off to another door that had a large '1' on it. Sora opened it and we ended up in the place that we first appeared. Leon, Yuffie, and now another girl was there! They looked toward us.

"So you are alive." Leon smirked.

"Did you expect anything less?" I remarked.

He only smiled.

"Hey I have a question. Have any of you seen a boy named Riku and a girl named Kiari?" Sora asked as we walked closer to them.

They all shook their heads and Sora hung his. I placed my hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll find them." I looked at everyone. "So let me get this all straight. These two were sent from the 'King' to protect Sora, and I'm also here to protect Sora. What are we all supposed to do?"

"Save the Worlds." Yuffie smiled.

"Boy your blunt…" I sighed.

"What about Riku and Kiari?" Sora asked.

"I think that we should start looking for them and make sure that they are ok. Then we can save the worlds. We can't save anything if our minds are somewhere else right?"

"Right, but how are you going to do that?" Leon questioned.

"We have a ship." Goofy implied.

I looked at Leon, "See we aren't stupid."

"Well let's get going!" Sora said.

"Just be careful. The Heartless want the KeyBlade and they will do anything and everything to get it." The other girl added.

I smiled to her, "That's what we're here for. Right?" I looked at Donald and Goofy. They gave a nod.

"Well let's go!" Goofy said walking toward a large door.

We got on the ship and headed to the unknown.



The ship made many different sounds, beeping sounds. They weren't annoying or anything, they were just there. Kinda' calming really, I listened to them as I sat in the back of the ship lounging around. All the while I was also listening to Donald, Goofy, and Sora talk.

"So your friends are a boy named Riku and a girl named Kiari." Goofy was scratching his head.

"That's right, have you seen them?" Sora sounded desperate.

"No…" Donald sighed.

"Maybe the King knows where they are." Goofy announced.

"So if we find the King, then we find Riku and Kiari?" Sora's face brightened up.

"That's what we think." Jiminy said. Jiminy is the cricket that was with Donald and Goofy. He's our journal keeper. I didn't notice him until we first got on the ship and he popped up out of nowhere.

"Well we better get to it." I said jumping up and walking behind Sora's chair. I looked down at him and smiled. "It's not like we have forever if what you said, or your King said, is true. If the worlds are disappearing then there are others that are in danger." I rested on the back of Sora's chair. Everyone smiled at my comment. Then a loud beeping started again, and it was annoying.

"A world!" Donald cried as he started pressing buttons.

"It looks like a jungle…" I said.

"Well the King wouldn't be there. Let's move on." Donald started to move the ship.

"Wait Riku might be there, and Kiari!" Sora tried to take the wheel.

"No wait! Don't do that! Stop!" Donald started to panic.

"Oh bugger…" I sighed grabbing onto a chair, preparing to crash.

The ship started to spin and go down. Everyone was yelling, since guys 'don't scream'. cough right cough I was screaming as we went down to the world and crashed.



I woke up with the faint smell of wood around her. I was on my back and I felt like I had been dropped from a 20 story building. Well I practically did, maybe even farther. I moaned as I tried to sit up, my back popped, my neck popped, and even my shoulders popped! It felt good at first but what was left afterwards was a dull pain. Ignoring it I opened my eyes and looked around. It was a large tree house with holes in the walls and ceiling, most likely made from the fall from the sky. I started to scan my surrounding when I heard another moan from behind me. I looked with a startled face and saw Sora. "Sora!" I struggled to stand then ran to kneel by his side. "Sora, are you ok? Sora?"

Sora moaned as he looked up at me. "What happened?"

"We crashed, and as far as I can tell it's just you and me."

"Good! I can't believe Donald wasn't going to land here. What if Riku and Kiari…" Sora paused and looked behind me.

I looked to see what it was he was looking at and to my astonishment it was a man in a loin cloth! He was crouched down on his knuckles, like a monkey… He moved closer and I helped Sora stand.

"Hey…" Sora started. "I'm Sora."

'So childish.' I thought. "I'm Kyde." I put my hand to my chest. I didn't think a man in a loin cloth would understand anyways.

The man stood up, "Tarzan." He placed his fists on his chest.

I smiled along with Sora. Sora was about to ask a question when a loud crash sounded behind us. My adrenalin hit the stars when I looked to see what it was. A huge cat was swishing its tail and getting ready to pounce.

"Oh great…" I sighed. I called my KeyBlade, just as Sora did his.

The large cat ran toward us, I jumped above him and did a flip. Just when I was right above him I was staring straight down at the cat. I hit its side with my KeyBlade sending it flying to the side of the room. I landed on my feet and skidded a bit before I stopped. The cat just looked up and growled, then disappearing through one of the holes in the walls.

"Easy enough…" I smiled as my KeyBlade disappeared.

Soras did also, and then he turned to Tarzan. "Have you seen anyone around here? I'm looking for my friends." Sora then looked behind Tarzan as if he was seeing something.

Everything went white, and I was in a different room. The room was totally white and looked like it never ended. It had no shadows or shadings that showed that there were even walls.

"What the hell?!" I said looking around. "Hey! Did you do this?" I yelled, implying to the voice inside of me.

"It wasn't me."

"So what the hell is going on here?"

"Someone called you."

"Who would call me?"

"Like I know?"

"But you know everything…" I sighed. "Well I better start looking…"

"You don't need to." A voice came from behind me.

I jumped; then I slowly turned around and saw a man in a black coat.I took my fighting stance. "Who are you?"

"Just a friend to be, if you know what I mean." The man said.

"No I don't get what you mean…" I looked the guy over; I couldn't see his face because it was hidden by his hood. The only thing I could tell from this man was that he was tall, cocky, and strong.

"Well I'm not an enemy, so I'm an ally."

He had a point; if he was going to do something he would have already done it. I relaxed some and tried to figure out what this guy wanted. "Who are you?"

"Now that would ruin things."

"Fine why did you bring me here?"

"Just full of questions aren't we?"

"Kyde, just calm down." Came into my head.

I replied in a low whisper, "Well what do you want me to do?"

"Talking to yourself won't help you Kyde."

I was shocked, did he know about me and… well me? "How do you know me?"

"I know a lot about you. You see you're not just 'The Protector'. You are more than that, your number 0."

"You know, about a week ago I was just a kid trying to get to school. Now I'm all these different things, and I don't even know it. So how do you know so much about me, do you even know if you have the right girl?" I crossed my arms.

"I'm the only one who does no, maybe except for that 'King' of yours."

"Well since you know so much about me, why can't I know something about you?" I raised my right eyebrow.

"You do have a point." He sighed. He spread his legs apart in a fighting stance and said, "It's me," He removed his hood, "Axel."

He had red hair that was long and spiked. His eyes an emerald green, and he had two diamond like marks right under his eyes on his cheeks. By my standards he was pretty damn hot! More than hot he was drop-dead-gorgeous! I mean he was more than hansom to, he was down right charming!

"So your name's Axel. Now who are you?"

"You'll find out soon enough. As for now I have to tell you something."

"What is it that you want?" I sighed heavily. It seemed that everyone wanted a piece of me lately.

"There is a girl; I want you to team up with her."

"Do you mean you want her to team up with me?"

"You could say that. Just don't tell her you know me, she'll kill you."

"You're odd, you know that right?"

He smiled, and then walked closer. I didn't let my guard down even though he hadn't attacked me yet. When he got right in front of me he stopped and looked down at me. I looked up at him, my face still stern. Without warning he bent down to hug me. I don't even know this guy and he's HUGING ME! Not that I object or anything, he's hot and even warm to the touch.

"Just be careful, I can't protect you yet." He said still hugging me.

"Wait, if I'm this 'Protector' then why would you protect me?" I'm totally confused.

"You'll understand someday." He let go then backed up in to a black hole that just appeared behind him.

"Wait, what? I don't get it!" I said, struggling for words.

He just smiled, put his hood, up and walked all the way through. Before I could get to it the portal disappeared.

You are the connection between everything… Don't forget, don't ever forget.

A voice sounded out of nowhere, and it wasn't from inside me. I looked around to see where it came from, nothing. Suddenly I started to feel dizzy, and then everything went to a blur. My legs felt like there weren't there, and next thing I know everything was black and I felt like I was falling.



Again a headache, I was getting sick of whatever was happening to me. I turned onto my side and light started to show as my eyes slowly opened. When they did I found myself in a tent thing. I had no idea where I was or how I got there. I sat up, still feeling a little dizzy, and looked around. I was on a small bed surrounded with what seemed like some sort of equipment.

"Good you're awake." A voice came from the other side of the tent where the entrance was. I looked to see a woman.

"What happened?" I was holding my head.

"You and your three friends came together here. You started to talk then you passed out."

"What?" I was confused; I was in the tree house not in a tent.

"Sorry that was my fault. I took over your body when you were called by that Axel guy."

"Oh…" I sighed.

"Are you sure your ok, you should lay down."

"No I'm fine. I just have a small headache." I smiled. "Where did the group head off to?"

"Tarzan said something about a 'Heart' then took off. Your friends followed him."

"Some Protector I am…" I shook my head and stood. "Well I'd better go look for them."

"You're sure your going to be alright?"

I stopped at the opening in the tent, then turned to her and smiled. "I'm sure it was just the heat of the jungle that got to me. I'm fine, really."

She nodded, "The jungle can do that to you."

I turned around and walked out of the tent. A brighter light shined in my eyes as I tried to shield them with my hand. "Man it is hot." I complained.

There where two ways out of this place, well that had a trail to them anyways. I took the one to my left; it looked like it like it led deeper into the jungle. I walked into the cool shade made by the huge trees.

For what seemed like hour I searched the jungle from the ground to the canopy. I couldn't find Sora, Donald, Goofy, Jiminy, or even Tarzan. All I found where a bunch of Heartless that looked like monkeys. I also found some that looked like mushrooms, but they didn't attack so I left them alone. Finally I admitted to myself that I was lost.I screamed into the endless jungle only to hear my own voice as a reply. Along with the fluttering of birds wings and the screeching voices of monkeys, normal monkeys. I sat down on the branch I was on and started talking to myself.

"I've jumped on Hippos, swung on vines, fought endless amounts of Heartless monkeys, and for what?! I'm totally lost!" I hit the tree that I was leaning on. "I'm no 'Protector', I'm not even sure I can do this. Why was I the one to do this?"

"Because of your heart." A person appeared right in front of me.

"You know that's kinda' freaky." I sighed she looked just like me. I guess the person or whatever she was inside you would look like you to. "So are you really there or am I seeing things?"

"Only you can see you."

"I knew it… I've gone crazy."

"Shuddup and listen." She yelled. "Because of your heart you have been chosen to take this path. Remember? 'To protect, to love and to be loved.' You're worth many things to this place, these worlds, to everyone here."

"How can I?"

"You wanted this."

"I didn't think I was asking for this. What if I just want to go back home and finish my…" I paused. I knew deep down I didn't want to go home. I liked it here, I liked the feeling I get with the people I'm around. I don't have to act different or anything. I'm just myself here and no one judged me for it.

She stayed quiet for a moment then spoke up, "I wont always be here you know."

I snapped out of my thoughts when she said this. "What? Why?"

"Sooner or later you'll finally be whole and I won't exist. I'll be you and you'll be me. No split personalities, no asking about what to do. You'll already know what to do, because you'll be ready to go on as you."

I felt sad inside, true she was me and I was her, but… I never thought that she would disappear.

"I won't disappear." she said scooting closer to me. "I'll be here." She put her hand to my chest. "Like I said, you'll be me and I'll be you. We are one person; I'm just the part of you that you haven't found yet."

"But you're right here, what do you mean I haven't found you?"

She shook her head, "When you came here you lost part of yourself, you need to find it again."

"But…" I stopped myself. "I mean, ok. I can do this. I will do this."

She smiled, "That's me for you." She started to disappear, and the next thing I know, she was gone.

I felt happy for a change. I was going to start being me and not asking questions. I was going to be Kyde.



"I hate this God Forsaken PLACE!" I yelled as I collapsed on the ground. I was back right where I started. With the dang Hippos in the water just floating there! I fell flat on my face; I don't know how long I laid there really. I just know my stomach was starting to hurt from laying on it.

"Kyde? Kyde?" I felt someone shaking me. "Are you ok Kyde?"

"You think she passed out again?"

"I don't know."

It was Sora, Donald, and Goofy. I turned my head to face them and saw that Sora was the one shaking me. "Sora!" I jumped up onto my knees and hugged him. "I'm so glad to see you!" I wasn't crying but I should have been.

I could tell Sora didn't know what to do, "I'm glad to see you to. Where have you been?"

"Everywhere and back again." I still wouldn't let go.

"Well we think we found the Heart that Tarzan was trying to show us."

"The Heart? Good! Let's get going so we can get out of here!" I jumped up releasing Sora.

Sora stood, and then smiled. "Ok guys lets go!"

"Ya!" Everyone shouted.

So we started off toward the camp and went through the other pathway that I didn't go down. It led to some cliffs, small ones but they were cliffs none the less. We walked a little bit into the cliffs then a shoot rang out. We all looked at each other then started to run. We stopped in a place that had a dead end. There was a man standing there with a rifle in his arms.

"Who is that?" I asked, there aren't very many people that I've met that carry a gun. They always carry a different weapon, usually a sword.

"Look." Goofy pointed behind him where something started to take shape.

"Ignored but that's fine." I sighed looking at the creature that was taking shape.

"It's a Heartless." Donald yelled.

"Again, no really?" I called my KeyBlade to my hand.

"Let's go!" Sora called his KeyBlade, Donald's staff and Goofy's shield appeared to them.

"Do we have a plan?" Jiminy asked as he tried to find a place to hide on Sora.

"How about kill the Heartless? And stop the man, his heart is lost to the darkness." I don't know how I knew that. I could just feel it…

They nodded; then we spread out. I climbed up the cliffs as Sora, Donald, and Goofy went after the creature below. I left the Heartless to them; I was going after the guy. The man had retreated to above, and I was trying to follow him. I reached the top where there was a large ledge. It was big enough to have a fight, but still I didn't want to fall. I would have to be careful. The man looked back at me, he had no facial expression. His face was blank; I could tell his heart was gone, lost to the Darkness.

He raised his gun and shot. I jumped out of the way just missing the edge. I pushed off the edge, launching myself at the man. He tried to shoot again but I knocked the gun out of his hands then landed on him. We started to roll over each other then I pushed him back. He went for his gun just as I pushed him away. I stood up as quickly as I could and ran for him, KeyBlade in hand. He picked up his gun and turned around I raised my KeyBlade. A shot rang out…


-Chapter 6 though Chapter 10- wow I am now realizing that Sora was right. I really didn't write much...
