I woke up to the camper slightly moving. I quickly sat up and looked out my window. The stars were still shining but a huge black and red hole was in the sky. I watched a tree get pulled from the ground, roots and all, and float up towards the hole. It was like a black hole! I put on my shoes and jumped out the window. It was somewhat calm. There was no wind and it was warm. Every once in a while a tree or an animal would get lifted into the sky. I walked around in the water. I must have been asleep for a while because the water had receded two and a half feet. Suddenly I heard and unpleasantly familiar screech.

"Heartless..." I whispered aloud.

I knew what was happening. My world was disappearing. I ran off, splashing water everywhere. The heartless followed me. I had to get to higher ground and I knew behind the oasis was a cliff. I figured I could climb it, I've been mountain climbing before. I quickly passed by a stick, but then stopped for a second to pick it up.

This could be useful...

I finally got to the oasis and climbed over the rock. I bent over to catch my breath, but then the heartless poured over the rock a like a disturbed anthill. I took off again and climbed a hill and just on top was the cliff. It was about forty feet up and the distance left and right went as far as the eye could see. I stopped a few feet away and examined the wall of rocks. It was a sheer wall. No foot holds... no way out. I was trapped against a wall.

This was a stupid plan.

I turned around and faced the army of heartless. They were popping up everywhere... there must have been hundreds of them! One heartless waddled up to me and so I thwacked the stick against its head. The heartless looked dazed for a few seconds then began to inch towards me once again.

The stick didn't work... what can I do now?

I backed up against the cliffside. I looked at all the heartless. Four of them in front crouched, about to pounce on me. In the end, I didn't see me getting out of this, so I turned my head and closed my eyes, bracing myself for my own death.

"You could call for help you know!!" Said a voice.

My eyes flashed open and I saw Axel standing in front of me.

"Axel!!" I cried happily.

Axel had his circular weapons out.

"Ready to see some real fighting?" He asked with a wry grin.

But I thought about the game and when Axel had used up all his life energy to whisk away all of the Nobodies. I didn't want that to happen again... when... when my world was just going to disappear anyway. I reached up and touched his arm. He glanced over his shoulder and looked at me.

"Don't do it again... Please..." I pleaded.

"Don't do wha... oh..." He lowered his eyes to look into mine, " No worries... I won't make that mistake again... especially since I'm taking care of you!" He smiled, "Watch this..."

He shoved his weapons on both sides of him and a circle of flames surrounded us.

"For now you are protected. Now... the reason why the stick does no good is because it's not the Keyblade."

"Keyblade? That exists too?" I asked.

"Yep! And you can't destroy heartless, nobodies... or anything else without it..."

The firewall began to lower.

"How do I get a keyblade?!" I asked frantically.

"Actually... I'm not sure." He shrugged his shoulders.

I rolled my eyes in frustration.

"Hey, I don't know everything!" Axel said in his defense.

The firewall finally went down and Axel twirled his weapons and then got on his toes. The heartless came running towards him. He began to slice the heartless, though it took him at least two hit per creature. I held my stick in my right hand, tightly.

I want to fight. I don't want to stand here and watch someone else do all the work...

I twirled my stick and got ready. Axel moved to the left a little bit and accidentally gave me some fighting room. I ran up to the heartless and began to beat them with my stick.

"What are you doing?! I told you the stick won't work!!" Axel cried.

"Well I don't want to just stand around!"

"...You're stubborn!"

"And you're a showoff! I can't help it if I'm not easy to cooperate with!"

Axel jumped over a few heartless to get to me. Then we were back to back.

"Alright... let give these heartless a run for their munny."

"Okay..."

He fought heartless and so did I, even though it only stunned them for a few seconds. I wasn't going to give up, but more and more heartless appeared around us.

"Axel... how are we going to get out of this?" I asked.

"Fight of course! That's the only option we have right now!"

I hit one in the head.

I refuse to give up. I want to see other worlds. Mine may be disappearing...but I'm not going with it.

I hit more heartless. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead. A heartless jumped at me and clawed my legs, ripping my jeans. Blood trickled down my leg. Another one jumped in the air and scratched my face. Another caught my arm.

I need some sort of an advantage here...

Suddenly a bright light emitted from the stick I held. Axel turned around. The heartless quickly skittered away. The stick grew so bright, I had to shield my eyes. As soon as the light vanished I looked at my stick.

"A Keyblade!" Axel cried, "You are the chosen one!"

I soaked it in. It wasn't much heavier then the stick but it was about a foot longer. The end was my birthmark with serrated edges and on the inside was a ruby heart connected between four dots. Three are the actually part of the heart, one is connected by a straight line to it like a pocket watch. My birthmark looks like a biohazard sign only with a triangle on the inside instead of the circle and three dots are between the spaces of the symbol. It looked dangerous. The serrated blades were silver and the triangle was black with an ice blue lining. Sharp blades on the way down the body of the Keyblade were also silver along with the rest of the blade. The handle was black with the lining of blue and the edges of the handle were also serrated.

"I've never seen a Keyblade like this before," Axel said, "Can I see it?"

"…..Sure…"

I gave him the Keyblade and he held it carefully.

"It's lighter than I expected. ….Wow….the last Keyblade…..," Then he looked down at me, "To it's only wielder. You truly are the fourth and final Keyblade wielder."

Then with bright lights it disappearing from Axel's hands to mine.

"Whoa…….."

As Axel laughed at my inexperience, I noticed there weren't anymore heartless. Clumps of trees were being taken now, and the camper was rocking slightly.

"Axel…. Will I ever see my world again?" I asked.

Axel's eyes fell to the ground.

"I think the question is will you want to see your world again. Your future is going to be full of adventure just as you asked. Just as you've always dreamed of. Do you think after enduring all those adventures and when you finally get a silent moment…. are you going to come back here to the life you once had….or are you going to go out and help more people. Are you coming to this world or are you going to discover new ones?"

"I don't know…." I said sadly.

I glanced up and saw the camper began to lift away…

"No….."

Axel looked up at me but I began to run back to my campsite.

"Daddy! No! Daddy!" I cried.

I jumped over the rock in the oasis; Axel was right behind me.

"Mel! Hey, wait up!"

I dodged oak trees and jumped over a bush. The camper rode higher off the ground and began to float towards the sky.

"Daddy! Please! Can you hear me?! Daddy!!"

I tripped over a rock and hit the ground. I looked up and saw the trailer just in front of me. It was about six feet off the ground. I quickly jumped up.

"Mel! What are you doing?!" Axel asked as I dashed after the camper.

I jumped in the air and stretched out my arm as far as I could. My fingertips grazed the bumper of the camper. The camper continued to float towards the sky as I fell back to the ground. I collapsed.

"Daddy…." I whispered.

Tears formed in my eyes. I sat on my knees as tears rolled down my face. The truth was, My parents were divorced, but my mom died three years ago, so I had to live with my dad….. and now…I didn't belong anywhere.

"Mel….I'm sorry…." Axel said.

I held open my hand and the Keyblade appeared. I stood up and held the Keyblade firmly in my hand. Tears still rolled down my face but I turned and looked at Axel.

"This….. is my destiny now." I whispered.

Everything was being sucked away. Not only trees now, but boulders and parts of cliffs. Everything was going.

"Don't worry. I will find you." Axel said with a weak smile.

I quickly wrapped my arms around him and hugged him.

"Thank you…." I whispered.

"For what?" He said with a laugh of surprise.

I pulled away and took a hold of his wrists.

"For being the only friend I had in this world."

Axel quickly returned my hug and then held onto my wrists as well. My feet began to leave the ground.

"….and….. and thank you…"

"What did I do?" I asked as my lower body lifted up towards the sky.

"If….If it weren't for you…. Then none of this would have happened. I mean, this world is vanishing,,, but think of all the other worlds you are going to save from this fate. If it wasn't for you… then I probably wouldn't be back….. so thank you."

I smiled slightly.

"Your very welcome. Now…. Let me go….I'm no longer afraid."

"Why not?" He asked.

"Because…. You are going to find me."

I let go of his wrists and he reluctantly let go of mine. I flew up into the air, not knowing where I was going. I had confidence that I was going to end up in a world full of adventure. I turned my head and looked back down at the canyon. Axel yelled 'I promise!' then disappeared. I smiled and the laid down in the air. I closed my eyes and just let go of myself. All faded away and darkness came to me. I strayed out of memory and time…..
