Chapter III

Still pitch black, Gizmo awoke with a start. What was going on? The wind was rattling like crazy, and the waves beating steadily. The salt air filled his nose abruptly as lightning struck.

"GIZMO!" shouted Alya. She was awake too.

"We should tell the others to get up. We don't want them to wake up all wet." It was too late, though.

Nova awoke abruptly as water splashed on to her face.

"Wrgh..?" She looked about. Everyone else looked at the beach. Eden had not returned from his night assignment, while Alya and Gizmo ran toward them. Blaz following ,unknown to Alya and Gizmo, behind them, just having arrived.

"It's.. a tidal wave!" yelled Dyne, as the tidal wave quickly engulfed all of them before anyone could say another word. Engulfed in water, everything went black.

Luna opened her eyes, brushing her dark hair away from her face, leaving the silvery and dark blue strands in front of her. Where is everyone? It appeared that she was in room made of complete wood. Facing her outside was a palm tree and wooden walkway leading somewhere. She looked around her as she pushed the blanket lay on top of her torso away.

Chase stepped into the room as the pushed the blanket aside.

"Oh good, you're awake. I—everyone, was worried about you." Luna merely blinked. What happened? Oh right, the tidal wave.

"Where are we, Chase?" Luna asked, confused.

"I don't recall any of our tents looking like this from the inside." Chase studied her composure to make sure she was alright. Then he replied,

"Step outside and take a look for yourself."

Luna, taking Chase's hand, walked outside. The sun shone as brightly as ever, as if there had never been a storm. As Chase led her down the wooden walkway to yet another beach, Mizu sprouted up in front of them.

"LUNA LUNA LUNA!"

"Uhh, hi Mizu.. where's everyone else?"

"They're helping Sora, Riku, and Kairi with their raft, c'mon," said Mizu, tugging Luna to the other end of the beach. Sora, Riku, and Kairi…?

As they walked along the beach, Luna observed that there was not much to this place. There stood yet another walkway to a lone island of palm trees, and on that lone isle stood a silver haired boy to which Luna never met before. His turqouise eyes met Luna's and smiled, as he began jumping about tree to tree, slashing at the air. "What's that guy doing?" Luna asked as they passed by.

"Oh, that's Riku. He finished collecting his stuff for the raft already, so he started training," Chase said, watching Luna's expression. She looked completely awed by his speed as he threw up rocks into the air and knocked each one unto the watery depths below, before it could hit the ground.

"See over there in the distance? Raven, Alya, and Dyne are collecting fish for the journey."

"What journey?" asked Luna, turning away from Riku's direction. Before Chase could answer, however, he was interrupted by Gizmo's exclamation.

"Luna, you're awake," he sounded relieved.

"We were all so worried…" He continued to whack the tree they had passed by. "Yeah, I'm up," replied Luna cheerfully, as a coconut landed and almost hit Chase in the head.

Unknown to Gizmo, Mizu was slowly sneaking up behind him. Chase and Luna discreetly glances at her. Luna was about to say something, but seeing that Mizu was holding a finger to her lips, she kept quiet.

"Yeah!" yelled Mizu as she jumped onto Gizmo, wrapping her legs around his torso, to keep him still as she fiddled around above. Craning around to the front a little, she grabbed a hold of Gizmo's hat (while still on his head) and flicked open the little device that rested upon it.

"Oh~! It's a compass!" she exclaimed excitedly as she tapped on the glass.

"Yes it is. You could've just asked ya know…" relplied Gizmo, as he tried to keep his balance.

"I'm gonna help Gizmo while you take Luna to meet Sora and the others. See you," said Chase to Mizu, grabbing Gizmo's stick and looking ready to burst out laughing.

Jumping off of Gizmo, Mizu grabbed Luna's hand and started dashing toward the upcoming shoreline. "You just gotta see the raft!"

Nova looked up from tying the ropes of the logs together, forming the raft together. She waved. Two other people, of which Luna also did not know, appeared to be with her. They were, she presumed, to be Sora and Kairi.

"Oh, she's awake! Welcome back Mizu," said the girl with Nova. Her red hair, gleaming in the sunlight, reminded her of lava.

"Hi, I'm Kairi," she smiled, bowing her head as she tied the ends of the raft together. The raft was not quite big yet, but appeared sturdy as it loomed over the fives' heads. The brown spiky haired boy, looked up and grinned.

"I'm Sora. Welcome to Destiny Islands."
