There will be a new important character this chapter. I've got nothing else to say.

Riku's POV

Ever since their mission to The World That Never Was, Xion, Isa, and Midnight had been acting wierd. Isa acted like he had a major secret, which he was terrible at hiding. I gave Xion and Midnight a pass, though, since their abnormality was a new loving couple attitude. Isa, though, interested me. I knew better than to force it out of the berserker, so I got the only two idiots he wouldn't hurt to help me.

"Isa! Hey, Isa!" Donald called to him.

He turned to them. "Yes?

Goofey asked the question. "Riku wanted to know why you're actin' so wierd lately." Dammit!

Isa frowned, then looked up at me from my perch on the clock tower. "That's none of your concern, Riku." He walked away. Donald and Goofey looked up at me, then ran as though their lives depended on it.

Isa's POV

Riku had no idea how difficult it was for me to keep Midnight's secret. How do you not tell everyone in sight that there's a Heartless in disguise? I had already slipped up once, accidentally telling the King on my delivery mission the other day, but luckly he kept an open mind and promised not to tell anyone. The day after, Xion admitted to accidentally telling Chip and Dale, but they also promised to keep quiet.

Back to the present, I was now heading to Yen Sid's tower for a mission he had summoned me for. I wasn't all too surprised to find Riku and Terra in the train, as I didn't expect to be the only person on this mission, but I wondered why he had chosen the three of us, what with our dark histories.

Unfortunately, Riku hadn't given up on getting the truth out of me. "Isa," he persisted, "what are you hiding? You don't act like you have a secret and not expect someone to be curious."

I sighed. "Trust me, I wish I could tell you, but Midnight would-" I suddenly realized my mistake.

Terra was interested now. "Mid's in on this, too? Come on, what could possibly be so bad that you can't tell us?" The train arrived just then and I left without answering.

At the top of the tower, we found Yen Sid conversing with Queen Minnie over a crystal ball. He looked up as we arrived. "Ah, hello, you three. Thank you for coming." He looked back at the orb. "Your majesty, could you please explain the situation to our friends here?"

The queen nodded. "Mickey has gone missing." All three of us reeled forward in surprise. "You see, he went to observe the damage Midnight had done to The World That Never Was, but never came back. I'm worried sick."

Riku nodded. "So we need to head there and find the King, right?" Yen Sid nodded. "Alright, then." He turned to me. "Me and Terra will travel with our Keyblade Gliders, but since you don't have a Keyblade, you'll have to use the Darkness to get there." I nodded.

Yen Sid held up a hand to stop us. "I must warn you that due to Midnight's actions there, the castle will be in shambles and extremely hard to navigate. As well as that, Mickey reported that a strange force prevented him from transfroming his Keyblade just before his disappearance. Your Gliders will most likely vanish as soon as you enter, so prepare a way to land safely." We nodded and I vanished into a Corridor of Darkness.

I arrived at the Altar of Naught, noticing immediately how much Midnight's blast had damaged the place. The room's roof and a good portion of its walls were completely obliterated, revealing more of the damage to the upper levels and surounding areas. Several area I knew would have been viewable were completely gone.

Within a few minutes, Riku and Terra landed a few feet away from me, Riku floating down gently and Terra landing on his feet hard enough to make a crater. Riku looked around. "Midnight did all this?"

Terra summoned his Keyblade. "Watch out!" He rushed past me and destroyed an approaching Dragoon. "Looks like some survived."

Vanitas's POV

I watched my astral projection of the three intruders with interest as they fought off the creatures I'd sent after them. "Looks like I was right about them coming to save their king." I looked to the side and smirked at the unconsious mouse chained to the wall. "Now time to start phase two of my master plan." I summoned a Flood. "Go alert Absence that it's his turn to take the stage."

Riku's POV

The waves of Heartless and Nobodies seemed endless as we destroyed more than we ever had at one time. I looked over at my companions. "We need to try a Limit!" They looked a me as if I was insane, as we had never done one together and a triple limit was nearly unheard of. "It's our only chance!" They nodded and we jumped closer together. We focused on combining our power, then felt a surge of energy as we shouted in unison, "Dark of the Moon!" We all rose into the air, then Terra and I locked the teeth of our Keyblades around Isa's claymore. We covered our Keyblades in Darkness as Lunatic started to glow blue. The three weapons then disassembled and started to peice together, forming a giant orb around us. The orb was covered in Darkness and Moon energy, then crashed to the ground, sending out a shockwave that destroyed all the surounding monsters. Our weapons returned to normal and we all fell to the ground, panting.

I sat up and looked around. "That was awesome." Suddenly, more Heartless and Nobodies started spawning. "Oh, shi-!" A silver blast suddenly fell into view and started to move in a circle around us, destroying anything that came near. Very soon they stopped spawning.

The blast flew upward and into the hands of a man wearing a normal dark green tunic, brown pants, and a hooded grey poncho. The blast faded into what looked like a bent sword and he grabbed the end of it, unbending it. He jumped down and walked toward us. "Who are you?" He asked in a youthful voice.

I stared him down, having trouble trusting this sudden newcomer. "Gaurdians of the Light. We're here to rescue our friend. Have you seen anyone here?"

He sheathed his sword in its scabbard on his back and thought. "There was one guy, a mouse with a wierd sword."

I was relieved. "That's our friend, Mickey. Where is he now?"

He shrugged. "I helped him get away from these two jackasses, then he gave me a pouch of Munny and opened a portal with his sword."

I disspelled my Keyblade and walked over to him. "Thank you for helping him. My name's Riku, and the other two are Isa and Terra."

He nodded and pulled down his hood, revealing his poorly cut brown hair and harsh brown eyes. "Kyle." He looked more intently at us. "Hey, you looked too clean to live here. How'd you get here?"

I summoned my Keyblade and showed it to him. "Our Keyblades lets us open gateways to other Worlds. Me and Terra both have one, but Isa had to use the Darkness to get here. He's one of the only members of our group that doesn't have a Keyblade." Kyle nodded, seeming to understand.

His eyes lit up. "Hey, do you think you could help me get home?"

Terra smiled. "Sure. Where're you from?"

"Sunset City." We all fell silent. "What?"

Isa sighed. "That World was destroyed a little over a week ago. We had thought the only survivor was our friend, Midnight."

Kyle was taken aback. "So... Ben and Cronan..."

Isa noticed his dismay. "We could take you back to our home in Twilight Town. You and Midnight might know each other." He nodded. Isa opened a Corridor of Darkness and led him through while Terra and I opened a gate and flew into the Lanes Between.

Midnight's POV

I was on the clock tower eating ice cream with Xion, Naminé, Roxas, and Lea when Isa arrived with someone through a Corridor of Darkness. One look at the boy with him and I instantly jumped down and landed in front of them.

Isa wasn't surprised, as I had made a habit out of that. "Hey, Midnight, good timing. Apparently this guy-"

"Kyle?" I interrupted him.

The boy was startled by my sudden appearance and by recognizing me. "Cronan?!"

Isa looked between us. "So you do know each other."

I nodded. "How'd you survive? The Heartless destroyed everything."

He shrugged. "I just woke up in this big castle. The place was stocked up, so I lived off whatever I found in the bedrooms or kitchen." He rubbed the back of his head. "Then something blew up the upper levels. I was out of the blast range, but a piece of the ceiling fell on my head while I was waiting it out."

I laughed nervously. "Sorry, that was me." He looked surprised. "I was on a mission with Isa and Xion and I kinda lost control while we were fighting a huge mob of Nobodies and Heartless."

The others got down from the clock tower and joined us. "Who's this?" Xion asked, wincing in pain and leaning into her crutch.

I put an arm around her shoulders to steady her. "This is my friend Kyle Davis. He somehow got out of Sunset City alive, too." Then I motioned to the others. "This is Naminé, Roxas, Lea, and my girlfriend, Xion."

Kyle laughed. "Girlfriend? What, did he pay you?"

"Shut up." I started walking to the train station and motioned for the others to follow. "Yen Sid'll want to hear about this."

This chapter wasn't as eventful as some of the others, but I felt like I needed to stop it here to keep it from getting too boring. I might take a little while to upload the next chapter for personal reasons, so thats that. See you later.
