Tai: I've got a full 17 pages here for you, and all my other fans.Chapter 7: Door to Darkness
Tai and I ran into our fair share of Heartless, and frankly it was never more annoying. I think that they pop up just to die, or return to the darkness, or whatever they do once you defeat them. I kind of knew my way around from our previous visit with Riku. We didn't go the same direction but we ended up in the same place. This was one of the reasons I didn't like Castles…
After playing Musical Elevators with the machines that took you from place to place. We ended up in the room where I opened a portal in before. We hadn't seen neither hide nor hair of Sora and the others and started to get worried. Well I was anyways, with Donald and Goofy it was more than likely they got lost.
"Where do you think we should go now?" I asked. The room, like before, had no other way out then the way we came in.
Tai hadn't answered me. She was searching the walls. I sat down and remembered what we talked about in this room. Our past, our pain, everything that we didn't want to talk about or even remember we let it all out here. Had we really gotten so close that we could do that? Or was it just because our memories were forced back into our minds?
"Found it." Tai spook then a loud rumble came from behind me.
I turned to look and Tai was standing next to a door that wasn't there before. "How'd you know it was there?"
"Easy, this couldn't be the end of the line. It had to have another way out just incase of intruders and such."
"How do you know all this?"
"Remember how I said my Grandfather told me stories?"
I nodded, "Alright." I stood and walked to the door, but as I started to walk through it Tai grabbed my arm. I looked back at her.
"Why did you leave me?"
"What?"
"You know what. Now tell me what you did after you took me to my ship."
There was no way she was going to just let this go, nor let go of my arm, until I said something. Let's face it; I'm not that good of a liar anyways. I sighed heavily, "I went to see Axel."
She didn't say anything, like I expected her to.
"I needed to see, I needed to find something out." I wasn't lying, just not saying everything.
She looked me over, like she was expecting something on me to tell me if I was telling the truth.
"What is it?" I asked.
She looked down and shook her head, then let go of my arm and asked me, "Where is it?"
"Where is what?"
"The burn."
I was shocked. How would she know about my burn?
"Take the jacket off." She demanded, I think it was a demand.
Not seeing what it would hurt, besides my shoulder, I slowly and carefully slid my half-cut jacket off my right arm and moved it so she could see the wrapping. "It was an accident."
"It always is." She said.
"So you believe me now?" I gave her a look.
"I did before; I just wanted to know if you talked to him or just went to look for him."
"Well I talked to him." I carefully put my arm back through the sleeve. "I'm sorry, I just had to."
She shrugged, "I can't stop you from seeing someone, even if it is Axel."
"You're still not mad at me?"
"Why should I be? Like I said, you might have a better chance with him." She seemed sad at this but quickly hid her emotion and looked at me, "Let's get going."
I walked through the door with her by my side. It was another room with elevators but there was a path to another door way. Without even considering the elevators I went to the door and stopped. Tai looked at me.
"How did you know about the burn?" I looked at her, "Did he burn you too?"
She nodded again, "I was trying to talk to him and well, he got mad."
"He sure does seem to do that a lot."
She smirked.
"You…" I started then paused for a few moments. Tai only continued to look at me. "You guys, seemed… Really happy, back on your home." I hung my head slightly.
She sighed. "How would you know if we were happy?"
"I saw a picture, with you and Axel with two other people. A boy and a girl. You all seemed to be having fun."
She seemed to be thinking then smiled, she Smiled! "I didn't think he would show you that picture."
"Well he didn't. I found it." I admitted.
She stopped smiling. "We were happy, but it's gone now." She cast it off like it was just something in the way that could be removed.
I smiled at her. "Well as a friend I'll try to get you to be happy again." I put my hand on the door handle.
She looked at me, shocked. I didn't want to continue the conversation, and she obviously had nothing else to say, so I slowly turned the handle and crept in. I waited tell Tai got through and quietly closed the door. 'Even if it means Axel…' I thought and crept through the hallway.
We were now in a hallway with what seemed to be some kind of pods on both walls. In each pod there was a woman, each were in a dress and I found one to be the one Beast called Belle when he jumped for the door earlier. When Sora was going to fight Riku. There were six to be exact and at the end of the hallway was a large room with steps on either side that lead up to a second floor.
I heard voices coming from there, so I quietly walked up one of the stairs, Tai was right behind me. I peeked my head just barely over the floor and held my breath for a moment. Maleficent was standing there and I could hear footsteps, I saw Riku walking up behind her and he was wearing that outfit again with the white skirt.
Riku stopped next to her and looked up at something in the direction Maleficent was looking. "So, I see the path has emerged at last." Something was different. It was Riku's voice but it was another voice that was tangled with his own. A deeper and older voice. I felt like I heard it before but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"Yes, the Keyhole to the Darkness." Maleficent replied.
"Unlock it and the Heartless will over run this world."
"What do I care? The Darkness holds no power over me. Rather I will use its power to rule all worlds." She made a gesture with her hand.
"Such confidence." Riku held out his hand and a KeyBlade appeared! It was black with a red handle.
Maleficent looked at it intrigued, "Oh…" she then paused, "But it's impossible! The Princesses of Heart are all here. It must be here!" she turned to look behind her.
I followed her gaze and saw that Tai was looking with me and also Kairi was lying on the ground behind them. How they kept moving her from place to place I didn't get. She wasn't there a moment ago.
They walked toward her. "Without her Heart, she will never be able to release her power." Riku shook his head.
A loud noise that sounded like a door slamming echoed through the room, "The Kings fools are here… I'll deal with them myself." Maleficent started to walk away, "You stay here and guard the Princesses."
After Maleficent was a ways away Riku looked toward her and smile, then glowed a bright blue color. Tai and I exchanged looks.
"What do you think is the matter with him?" Tai asked in a very low whisper as she crouched down on the stairs.
I crouched down beside her. "You asking me?"
"You're the leader of the Organization. You should be able to tell."
"I'm not sure…"
"Well what do you think?"
"I think that he's possessed by someone, but that's just me."
She looked down for a moment, "That would explain his voice, and that KeyBlade."
"Are you saying I'm right?"
"I'm saying that you might be right."
I frowned.
"Let's get him." Tai was about to stand up.
I grabbed her and pulled her back down, "Are you nuts?! I know that you're overly Pissed at him for the memory thing but now's not the time. We have to wait for Sora."
She gave me a look then shrugged, "It's amazing that he hasn't noticed us."
"I put up a barrier." I smiled.
"What? When?"
"I don't know, it's just something that I can do when I'm sneeking around." I looked down, "Or at least that's what Axel told me."
She ignored my last remark, "So we're just going to sit here?"
"I'm going to try and find out why I think I've heard that other voice."
"You've heard it?"
"Ya, I just don't know when or where…"
"Well think, was it back on your home? E-arth?"
"It's said Erth. You don't pronounce the 'a', and no."
"Well then it was when you came here, how about around the time when you met Sora?"
I started to think, there wasn't that much time that we spent together before his world was destroyed. All we did was fight each other and get supplies for the raft. "That's it!"
"What?"
"When Sora and I were looking for stuff together, we met this guy. Well, actually, he just appeared out of nowhere and scared us. It was a guy in a brown coat with a hood over his face. That's where I've heard that voice from!"
Just as Tai was about to say something we both heard a portal open, I looked up again and Riku was walking though a portal. "Now's our chance! If we loose him again we might not find him!" I said jumping up onto the second floor.
Tai followed right behind me. "I thought you said not to fight him?"
"We're just following him… again."
Riku was through the portal and Tai just gave me a loud and heavy sigh. I jumped though with Tai right behind me. I was keeping the portal open with my own power but we didn't walk through to the other side. I held Tai's hand so that she wouldn't go somewhere in the Darkness by accident and we watched.
Maleficent was hurt, and hurt bad. She was hunched over and gasping for air. Riku appeared to her after coming through the portal, "Do you need some help?" by now his normal voice was less there then it was before.
The portal was closing and I couldn't stop it, I jumped out pulling Tai with me and it closed behind us. Somehow we jumped to the side of where Riku was, and footsteps came from behind.
"Riku!" it was Sora. I let go of Tai and looked back, this did not look good… for me and Tai to be standing right next to our Evil Riku and Maleficent. Which I gather Sora just kicked her ass. Donald, Goofy, and Beast were with him.
Riku turned around to face them, and then looked at us. Then back at the others.
"Is that?..." Donald started.
"Yes," Riku held up his KeyBlade, "a KeyBlade. But unlike yours," he lowered it, "this KeyBlade has the power to unlock peoples Hearts. Allow me to demonstrate. Behold!" he turned and stabbed the KeyBlade into Maleficent.
Maleficent gasped and Darkness formed around the KeyBlade.
"Now open your Heart, surrender it to the Darkness! Become Darkness itself!" he shoved it in further and then jerked it out. Disappearing into a portal.
"Kyde!" Tai looked at me.
"I can't, Sora'll see." I said through my teeth.
Maleficent was flowing with Darkness and started to glow green. "This is it, this power!" she laughed. "Darkness, the true Darkness!!" she went up in flames! Green flames that engulfed her.
"Kyde! Tai! What's going on here?" Sora ran up to us.
"We just followed Riku and got here." Tai said.
"This isn't the time for chit-chat!" I hissed, "Look!" I pointed toward Maleficent.
Dark mist exploded from here and covered the floor. Sora and the others got ready with their weapons, and I too called mine. Tai didn't.
Maleficent morphed into a large Dragon, black with bright yellow eyes and a yellow mouth that was engulfed in green flames.
"Your type of fight." Tai joked.
"Just because I got here by Dragon and all that stuff doesn't mean anything!"
"You sure?" she raised an eyebrow to me.
"So your not going to help?"
"Why should I? This is your high point." She smiled wirily and ran off.
"Tai!" I yelled.
"Where's she going?" Goofy asked.
"After Riku." I gritted my teeth. I looked at Sora, "Sora, you should go to."
"No, I'm going to fight with you."
"Fine, but when I give the signal you guys have to steer clear alright!?"
"What? Why? What signal?"
"I'll hit you with something." I smiled.
He just looked at me then nodded, "Alright, ready guys?"
"Ya!" Donald and Goofy replied.
"Let's Go!" Sora and I yelled and ran for Maleficent.
Maleficent in Dragon form used a lot of usual Dragon Type attacks. Breathing fire, stomping, swinging of the tail, but she also used Magic. Something only some Dragons used, some preferred to prove their strength more than anything. She used her green fire to follow and attack everyone.
Donald was mostly healing everyone while Goofy was going all out. Sora took turns attacking and healing. Beast was also going all out and doing a lot of damage. Sora had used some Summons that he learned earlier, like Genie from the World of Aladdin or Agraba as I've learned. They did help in the battle but it tired Sora out a great deal.
Sora had just used a Summons and Donald was out of magic and items to heal with. Beast we seriously hurt but he wouldn't go down even if we was near death. Goofy had just about hit his limit and Maleficent wasn't over yet. True she was hurt but not as bad as she had hurt the others. I wasn't in that bad of shape, I was pretty good actually.
I failed to mention before that the room was covered in roots and thorny ones at that. It to had a hole in the ceiling that let a great deal of light in. I had to find something to throw at Sora. We couldn't get very close to each other. Maleficent had been trying to keep us apart so we couldn't combine our powers. I found a small rock and tossed it at Sora; it hit him in the head.
Sora winced and looked in my direction, "Go! Get out of here!"
"You can't do this on your own!" he yelled back jumping over the Dragons massive tail.
"We talked about this! Now get going!" I yelled.
"Com'on Sora! Let's go!" Donald grabbed Soras arm.
"If Kyde says she's got it then we have to trust that." Goofy said.
Sora looked at me then them, then me again. He nodded, "If your not back in five minutes I'm coming back!" he turned at yelled to Beast. Together they all ran through a portal that lead out of the room.
I turned to face the Dragon, "Maleficent!"
She turned to face me from trying to go after the others.
"You may think that being a Dragon is good enough." I smiled and pulled my KeyBlade back. "But this Dragon has a different point of view, or should I say this Drakes." I concentrated and pulled in the energy I had around me. I could feel my back about to explode, the feeling again…
My hands turned into claws and my teeth grew sharp. I was changing full force this time, and was going to see what I could do. I made my outfit change with my magic, removing my shoes and turning my pants into shorts. It would change back as soon as I was done, but for now it would be easier to fight like this.
By now my wings had broke free and so did my tail and was now swishing against the ground. I had most of the Dragon features, the eyes, claws, tail, wings, teeth, so forth. Only I kept my basic human form, this is what you called a Drakes. My transformation was complete and now my skin was harder then diamonds, all save for one spot. Just like the stomach of a Dragon is soft so was mine, only a Dragon would usually lay on jewels and such to make a shield. With only me knowing this secret I didn't think it would be too much of a problem.
I looked up at Maleficent again and she was just eager to pounce on her new found prey, "Now let's get this over with!" I leapt into the air and bolted toward her, both hands on my KeyBlade.
She blew her fire and I went right through it and slashed at her open mouth. She let out a horrid screech and shook her head. I backed away and pointed my KeyBlade up, the tip started to glow. Maleficent opened her piercing yellow eyes and glared at me, and let out a loud roar. She was about to cast a spell and not one that was just sending flames in my direction.
I moved my KeyBlade around to where the tip made a design. I learned it back home in a book, and I knew it couldn't hurt trying. Maleficent started glow and the air grew thick and musty. I finished my design and held my KeyBlade straight out in front of me.
"Fire of the Dragon, Burning in Hell, Heaven, and the Mortal World." The tip of my Blade started to flicker like a fire, a purple fire with a silver core.
Maleficent opened her mouth wide and a bright green light started to form with a dark mist forming swirling around it. You could hear the air around it being sucked in. It was like the sound of a broken vacuum that had a dog toy stuck in its hose.
I continued. "Burn together to make the Fires of Oblivion burn brighter still!" Maleficent shot her orb of her magic and if went at amazing speed. I flew toward the orb and pulled back my Blade, "I will not loose!" I slashed at the orb cutting it in two and headed straight for Maleficent.
She let out a howl as I came closer. I raised my KeyBlade and as I got to her head I yelled, "Dragon Flame Laceration!" I brought down my KeyBlade with astounding force and it sliced through her right until it hit the ground. The slash flared with a purple light then exploded into a silver engulfing light.
When the light subsided I touched the ground and my KeyBlade disappeared. Maleficent thrashed her head around and finally collapsed on the ground. She glowed with a dark light and all that was left was her cloak from her human form. The roots and thorns around us dissipated I sighed heavily, relived that it worked. My wings and other Dragon features disappeared and I fell to my knees.
I was exhausted. My bones felt like Marshmallows, and my head felt like a 10 pound weight in water. My Heart also felt like it was hit by lighting, I was dizzy. I fell forward and just when I thought I was going to lie there all day I heard a voice call my name. I could see Sora running toward me and he skid to a stop right next to me. Donald and the others were close behind.
He rolled me over to my back and leaned me up against him. "Kyde! Are you ok? Kyde?!"
"You don't need to yell." I managed to say.
Everyone gathered around me. "How did you do it?"
"That's my secret." I smiled. "Can you help me?"
"Oh, ya." Sora helped me up and put my right arm over his shoulders. It hurt a little from the burn but with everything else hurting I didn't really care. He put his arm around my waist to anchor me.
Foot steps came from in front of us and I looked up. "How ironic," Riku stopped right in the middle of where the remains of Maleficent were, "she was just another puppet after all."
Tai emerged from a portal that he came out of. "Got you…" she looked around. "Oh." she frowned.
Donald ignored Tai. "What?"
Riku looked toward us, "The Heartless were using Maleficent from the beginning. She failed to notice the Darkness in her Heart eating away at her." He ground his foot into the ground and the dark cape disappeared, "A fitting end to such a fool." He backed up into a new portal.
"Not again…!" Tai moaned, and then looked at us. "What did you do?!" she ran toward us.
"I took care of it." I glared at her.
She smirked, "Well let's get out of here; we have to go after Riku."
Sora nodded, "Ya!"
"Here, let me carry her." Tai said taking my other side.
Sora let go, "So do you know where he is?"
After Tai had a hold of me she nodded, "In the room before this there's a hidden door, which will lead us to where Riku is." Sora nodded and took off running, the others followed and Tai and I just went at our own pace. "So what did you do?"
"I tried this thing I read about, nothing much."
"If it's 'nothing much,' then why can't you hardly stand?"
"I guess the first time wears me down."
"That would make sense." She paused, "So what did you do?"
"I'll show you later." I smiled evilly.
She smiled. "Sure, just make sure you don't pass out next time."
I got my strength back rather fast and was able to walk on my own by the time we got past the secret door way and through the elevator room. Sora was waiting for us at the end of the hall way with the pods. When we joined we started to run toward the stairway, but once up the stairs everyone got past but Goofy.
I stopped and looked back, "A force field!?"
"Kairi!" Sora yelled and ran over to Kairi who was still on the ground from before.
Tai was examining the field with Donald as I looked back to Sora and started to walk toward him.
Sora lifted Kairi up but she was limp. "Kairi! Kairi! Open your eyes!"
"It's no use." Riku said.
I stopped and Sora and I looked toward a large heart shape doorway. Riku was on top of it.
"That girl has lost her Heart. She can not wake up."
Sora put Kairi down and stood; I walked and stood by his side. "What? You, your not, Riku." He said.
"The Keyhole can not be completed," he started to float down to the ground, "so long as the last Princess of Hearts still sleeps."
"The Princess?" Sora looked down at Kairi then back at 'Riku', "Kairi's a Princess?"
He touched the ground, "Yes, and without her power the Keyhole will remain incomplete. It is time she awakened."
"Whoever you are, let Riku go! Give him back his Heart!"
"But first, you must give the Princess back her Heart!" 'Riku' pointed his KeyBlade at Sora.
A bright pink light radiated from Soras chest, he gasped and grabbed his chest. He fell to his knees and his free hand. Donald was now standing next to me and so was Tai.
Donald looked at Sora, "Sora!"
"Whats?" Sora gasped.
"Don't you see yet? The Princesses Heart is responding." 'Riku' started to walk down the few steps from the door, "It has been there all along. Kairis Heart rests within you!" he stopped at the edge of the stairs.
"Kairi, Kairi's inside me?" he looked at Kairi. I knelt down beside Sora and put my hand on his shoulder.
"I know all that there is to know."
"Smug…" I growled.
"Tell me, who are you?" Sora asked.
"It is I, Ansem. The seeker of Darkness." He started to walk closer, KeyBlade in hand. Donald yelled and ran at Ansem but he pushed Donald out of the force field. He pointed his KeyBlade down at Sora and me, "So I will release you now Princess. Complete the Keyhole with your power. Open the door, lead me into everlasting Darkness!"
I jumped to my feet, "I'll teach you to mess with me and my friends!" I called my KeyBlade.
Ansem looked shocked, and then smiled evilly.
"Kyde don't!" Tai yelled.
I pulled back my Blade and brought it forward, Ansem blocked. I pushed him back and he skidded a few feet backwards. I jumped up in the air and was about to strike but I stopped in midair. I looked down and his KeyBlade was imbedded in my stomach just above my bellybutton.
He lowered his KeyBlade to where we were close to each others faces. "This KeyBlade can do more that unlock a Heart in your case." Ansem smiled again, "It can bring out something." He jerked his KeyBlade and made it go in further.
I gasped then gritted my teeth, "I won't let myself be apart again." I grabbed his KeyBlade with my free hand. "Never again!" I gathered energy in my hand, "Thunder Dragon Bombshell!" the air around my hand exploded with an electric shock that traveled down the KeyBlade and through Ansem.
He yelled in pain and swung the KeyBlade, sending me flying. I went outside of the Force Field and slammed against the wall. I slid down and crashed against the floor, closing my eyes, I couldn't feel much after that.
I heard someone hit the ground and start to run. Then someone stopped next to me, "Kyde? Are you alright?"
I opened my eyes again and saw it was Tai, Donald, and Goofy. "Just peachy." I moaned.
"How did you do that?" Donald asked.
"Forget that! How are you still ok?" Tai demanded.
"Wa?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Where Riku, or Ansem, stabbed you. It's nothing but a scar!" she said again.
I looked down, she was right! There was a long scar where the KeyBlade had been. "Xyked…" I whispered.
"What?" Goofy asked.
"Nothing, what about Sora?"
Everyone looked toward Sora and Ansem. Ansem was in front of Sora again and was about to strike. Suddenly he looked up and blocked the attack. "Forget it! There's no way your taking Kairis heart!" Sora pushed Ansem back and was ready to fight, and he was mad. I've never seen Sora 'mad' before. He was always happy, but this was different.
Sora and Ansem exchanged blows and we, me, Tai, Donald, and Goofy, were watching and waiting at the edge of the force field. I felt fine after a few minutes; I don't quite know what Ansem did. I felt like he tried to sever the bond that Xyked and I made when we combined. We were still together but the bond was damaged, what would happen know I don't know. It scared me a little inside, after finding out some of the things Xyked did. Like what she did to Axel, and Tai… what else had she done that I didn't know about?
Ansem started to glow dark blue and black. He dropped his KeyBlade and fell to his knees and disappeared.
"Riku!" Sora yelled.
The force field disappeared and Donald yelled to Sora, "Sora! Sora look!"
"Uh, the Keyhole!" Goofy yelled, we ran to the large heart shaped door. It had turned black! It was different colors like red, green, and blue but now it had turned black!
Sora walked up to the Keyhole and attempted to lock it, but nothing happened.
"It won't work!" Goofy exclaimed. "The Keyhole's not finished yet!"
Sora put away his KeyBlade, "What can we do?"
"Maybe, we've gota' go wake Kairi up." Goofy looked back at Kairi.
Sora turned around and put his hand on his chest, "I think your right. If we can free her Heart… but, but how?" He looked at the KeyBlade on the ground left by Ansem. "A KeyBlade that can unlock people's Hearts… I wonder."
"Sora?" I said, what was he planning to do?
"Sora?" Goofy asked as Sora walked down the steps.
I followed but stopped just a few feet behind him. "Sora? What are you?"
He walked up to the KeyBlade and picked it up.
"Sora, hold on!" Goofy yelled.
"No wait!" Donald also yelled.
Sora just turned and smiled, then put the KeyBlade to his chest and pulled in.
"What the Hell are you doing?!" Tai shouted.
"You idiot!!" I screamed.
Sora went limp. The KeyBlade started to glow, and then pulled itself out. It started to disappear and six globes of light appeared and floated toward the hallway where the Princesses were. Then one appeared out of Soras chest and floated down to Kairi and disappeared inside her as she opened her eyes. The air around Sora started to sparkle and Sora was fading away, he started to fall backwards.
"Sora! Sora!!" Donald started to run for Sora, and so did I.
Kairi sat up, and when she saw Sora she got to her feet, "Sora!" She ran for him putting her arms out to catch him but he disappeared, and she looked up and the shine floated upwards.
"Sora! Come back Sora!" Donald yelled upwards but his glisten remnants disappeared.
"Sora! SORA!!!" All we could do was just stand there and look up.
"Sora, are you really?" Kairi stepped forward, "No he can't be," she put her hand on her chest, "I won't let him go!"
I looked at her, he gave everything for her. "Kairi…" The sound of a portal opening behind made me turn to look. Along with everyone else.
"So, you have awakened at last Princess." A man appeared from a closing portal. He had the same voice as the one from Destiny Islands and the one that was entangled with Rikus! He had dark skin, a jacket that was open in the front with armor and gloves. He had the mark of the Heartless that held the front of his jacket together, his jacket reached to just a few inches above the floor and he had black pants and boots. He also had the same white skirt around his waist that Riku had, only more distinct and under his coat. He also had long silver hair that stood out against his dark skin, he also had vibrant yellow eyes.
I clenched my fist. I wanted to kill him.
"The Keyhole is now complete," he made a hand motion toward the Keyhole. "You have served your purpose, but now it's over." He started to walk toward us.
"Don't make another move!" Donald demanded as he and Goofy got their weapons. Tai and I stayed next to Kairi.
Goofy hid his head behind his shield, "Do ya think we can stop him all by ourselves?"
The man continued to walk forward.
"I don't know." Donald said worried.
The man stopped and started to shake slightly, "Im-impossible!
A golden light formed in front of the man, who I was guessing was now Ansem, and formed into Riku. He was bent over. "No, you won't, use me for this!" he put his arms out.
"Riku!" Kairi said.
"You've gotta' run! The Heartless are coming!"
Just then multiple Shadow Heartless appeared from the ground and surrounded us. "Kairi! You, Donald and Goofy get out of here! Tai and I'll hold them off!" I called my KeyBlade.
She nodded and all three ran down the steps and to the hallway. Donald was screaming the whole way…
"What about the Keyhole?" Goofy yelled.
"Let's just get out of here!" Donald yelled after he finished screaming.
"Get out of here!" Riku yelled.
"I won't just leave you!" I ran toward him and stopped right in front of him, as Tai was kicking some of the Shadows around.
"I can't hold this much longer! GO!"
I grabbed his hand. "No!"
"Please Kyde!"
I held his hand tight. "I'll come back for you, I promise!"
He held mine tight and nodded. "Go…"
Holding back some tears we let go and I ran past Tai, grabbing her arm and dragging her with me. "We're leaving!"
"What?"
I dragged her down the steps and through the hall; I let her go outside of the door. "We have to catch up with the others!"
"What's going on here?" She rubbed her arm.
"I can't help him; he needs to do it himself! Otherwise he won't be able to anything himself."
"Whatever, let's go then!" she ran toward the other door and I followed.
We arrived in the first room just past the front doors, and made it down the stairs. Donald was hitting a Shadow on its head with his staff. "Confounded Heartless! Get lost will ya?!"
The Heartless just stood there and turned its head toward Kairi, Tai and I ran toward them. "What's going on?" I asked.
"This Heartless won't leave us alone and it won't fight." Goofy scratched his head.
"Sora, is that you?" Kairi looked at the Heartless. More Heartless surrounded us and Donald and Goofy started to attack them. Tai and I both sighed and started to attack also. "This time I'll protect you." Kairi put her back to the friendly Heartless. The Heartless crept closer to Kairi and then went to attack; Kairi turned around and held the tiny Shadow Heartless, "Sora!"
"Kairi!" Goofy and I yelled.
Light shot out from the middle of the pile of Heartless and they were thrown back. Sora appeared holding Kairi. "Kairi, thank you."
Kairi looked up. "Sora!"
"Sora!" everyone yelled, including me.
More Heartless appeared and a loud roar came from above, I turned to see Beast jump down from above and start attacking the Heartless. "Go! Now!"
Sora let go of Kairi, "Come with us!"
"I've told you before. I'm not leaving without Belle! Now go! The Heartless are coming."
"Alright, let's get out of here!"
