Crystalmaiden62 fell onto her bed, exhausted as Anna and Blair came in to check on her.

Anna: Are you alright?

Blair: And why do you smell like fur?

Crystal: I was doing this chapter at my aunts house with all her cats.

Anna: I thought you like cats.

Crystal: I do but there's a cat that hates me so I was at my wits end doing this chapter.

Blair: At least you were able to do this chapter though, right?

Crystal: That's true so first the disclaimer.

Disclaimers: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or it's characters and I most definitely don't own Soul Eater but I wish I did. I only own Anna, which I'm happy for so please don't flame me.

Chapter 8: Olympus Coliseum

It didn't take us long to get to the next world, it was really like a hop away from Disney Town. We landed easily in the town near the coliseum in town and everything seemed quite.

"So Ven, how'd you like Disney Town?" I asked as Ventus smiled.

"I loved it, I just wish Aqua and Terra were there to enjoy it with us too." Ven said as I nodded.

"Me too, we need to plan a get together soon." I said looking up at the sky. "Still, as long as we're under the same sky I'm sure we'll see them soon." I didn't know if I can tell Ventus the truth that we may never get a chance for a get together like this for years but for now, I'll have to keep quiet. Maybe, if I can control this 'true light' I can save them.

"Huh?" Ven said as I shook my head.

"I'll tell you later." I said as he pouted.

"I wanna know now, Anna."

"I'll tell you soon, just wait a little okay." I said and Ven pouted, god he's like a kid brother. He was just about to say something when something came dashing behind us and we looked to see what looked like a short, fat faun using the wall a few feet away from us for support with his back facing up. It looked like he ran quickly and since he was out of shape he couldn't have gotten very far.

"Oy, the kid's relentless." The faun said as Ven and I approached him.

"Hey, whatcha doin' there?" Ventus asked before I could stop him. The poor guy screamed in fright and jumped to turn and confront us.

"I told ya, I'm booked solid. N-O spells forget it!" He yelled as I raised an eyebrow.

"Actually it spells 'no'." I said as the faun gave a good look at us.

"Huh? And who in Halicarnassus are you? Can't you see I'm busy?" The faun said, finally noticing us.

"Hey, Phil!" Ven and I turned to see a young man wearing a short toga and with red hair come running to us. "I'm all signed up! Phil!" Yes, it's Hercules and Phil, his trainer.

"All right, Herc, I hear ya! Now would ya keep it down already." Phil whispered not wanting to be noticed.

"Aha!" Ven and I turned again to see another young man in armor running up to them. This one wasn't from the movie but still is very he's familiar for any Final Fantasy VII fan.

"Beautiful…you happy now? You blew my cover!" Phil scolded with a slight scowl at Hercules as the guy came up to us.

"Okay, 'fess us. I asked around, and everybody says you're the guy. The trainer of Heroes!"

"True heroes!" Hercules added looking a bit concerned.

"Really? You can teach that?"

"Is that even possible?" I asked looking at Ven who looked excited.

"'Course he can. C'mon, Phil, please." The young man begged. "I really wanna be a hero."

"Look, we've been through this, I've got two words for you. Student teacher- ratio!" Phil said as I raised an eyebrow.

"One, two… um?" Ven counted on his fingers as I shook my head.

"That's three words." I said.

"I already go my hands full with this one. C'mon Herc." Phil said ignoring me.

"I'm low-maintenance, I swear!" The young man said as the two walked away but then the Unversed suddenly appeared.

"Unversed!"

"Here we go again." I said as Ven and I ran to fight the Unversed.

"Monsters, huh…" The young man then removed his sword from his back and went to get ready for a fight. "Hey Phil! Watch this! I'll show ya what I'm made of."

"And I'll help too!" Hercules said, not wanting to be out shined.

"Then what are we waiting for." I said, keyblade at the ready. As I fought against the Unversed using both light and normal spells; I think I'm getting the hang of this. Both Herc and the young man were both working hard to impress the trainer. Using their best moves to show off, it didn't take long for us to finish the battle; even Ventus was pulling out all the stops though why he was fighting so hard I'm not so sure. Maybe it was to burn the calories from the ice cream. "Man, that's the work out I needed. I knew that ice cream would get back at me." I said stretching and looking at the three guys. "You guys looked great out there."

"Thanks, Anna." Ven said with a small smiled as Hercules looked embarrassed though the young man looked proud.

"Well of course, I'm gonna be a hero one day." He said as Phil walked up to us.

"Okay… change of plans." He said looking to Hercules and the young man. "The Games are comin up. So, I'm gonna watch both of your matches the I'll decide which of you rookies I wanna train."

"Sweet! Thank you, thank you!" The young man said looking as if he became a god. "I'm gonna go sign up right now." With that he dashed off before anyone could said 'take off'.

"The Games, huh? Sounds like fun. Let's go too, Anna!" Ventus said as I nodded and almost dragged me off again.

"Sorry kids, Captain Eager there just took the last spot." Phil said as I gave a sigh.

"Man, that's no fun. And here I was, looking forward to burning off the calories from that ice cream earlier." I said, sure training was good but a tournament would have been a better exercise as well as a way to help me learn to use Lunar Light.

"I don't understand! Phil, I thought you were my trainer!" Hercules said looking absolutely devastated that his trainer would do this to him.

"You wanna be a true hero, Herc?" Phil asked turning his back to Hercules. "Then you're gonna hafta prove go out there and show me that everything I taught you so far is gonna pay off." Phil walked off but then stopped for a moment. "Oh… and no more trainin' sessions for a while. Wouldn't be fair if I helped you and not him." With that, he left a very worried Hercules.

"Hey, cheer up! So you gotta fight a couple of matches, no big deal." Ven said as Hercules looked at us, forgetting we were there. Don't really blame him though.

"Yeah, if you want we can help you train?" I offered with a small smile. "My name's Anna and this is my friend Ventus."

"You'd really do that?"

"Sure." Ven said with a nod.

"We can train together." I said as Hercules looked a lot more cheerful now.

"Thanks, Ventus, Anna. I'm Hercules. Herc for short." He said holding out his hand for us to shake.

"Just call me Ven. You're gonna do fine." Ven said shaking his hand.

"Everyone just call me Anna, I don't have a nickname." I said sheepishly as I shook Herc's hand and he laughed.

"Thanks. I'm gonna head over to the Coliseum and warm up. Meet me in the vestibule, okay?"

"Sure." I said as Hercules walked away.

"Well, you got your exercise you've been wantin'." Ven said as I nodded.

"Yes, now let's hurry I've always wanted to train with the Hercules." I said with a smile as Ven stared at me.

"What?"

"Hercules is a myth character from an old story where I'm from and it'll be so cool to fight along side him." I said as Ven still looked confused. "You'll understand when you read more."

"What but there aren't books like the one from your would here." Ven whined and I did something I've always wanted to do.

"Fool!" I pointed my keyblade at him and he looked shocked. "You're living the legend so enjoy it while you can!" Ven just stared at me for a full second before I lowered my keyblade laughing my pants off. "Oh my god! That was so funny, no wonder why Excalibur does it so often! Glory to 'Soul Eater'!"

"What?" Ven asked completely confused now. "Are you feeling alright?"

"It's nothing, I just had a mini spazz moment. Nothing to worry about." I said as Ven looked worried.

"What was in that ice cream?" He asked as we made our way to the Coliseum to meet up with Herc. The training was harder than I originally thought; then again in the game I'm playing as either Ventus or the others and a lot stronger than me. The pots were harder to break with just hitting them for me and Herc made it seem easy with him attacking it with his fists. But this is to my benefit at least; I can practice my magic without worrying about the Unversed coming at me if my spells go wrong. I only used normal spells through out practice and attacked a few pots if needed and I'm finally getting a hold on doing normal spells again. I do feel I was getting stronger but I think I was just really tired after thirty minutes and fifty-three minutes either that or the ice cream got to me. Still I want to get stronger to help my friends as well as myself.

"This'll help me in the end." I muttered to myself attacking a couple more pots. "Blizzard!" I yelled and I thought I saw something different from my blizzard attack. It didn't feel cold but it did look like snow. Further more, it felt stronger than both my blizzard and Lunar Light attack. What was that?

"Hey, Anna." I turned to Ven who looked at the stands. I turned and saw Phil walking away. "What was that all about?"

"Guess he really cares even though he doesn't show it." I whispered to Ven who nodded. "But don't tell Herc just yet."

"Why?"
"Simple, how will he learn. This must be a test to see if he's worthy of being trained by Phil." I pointed out but Ven still looked confused.

"Huh?" Ven said as I shook my head.

"Ven, this is why I'm glad you followed me. You most defiantly need this exposure." I said patting his shoulder.

"Hey guys, the games are going to start in a bit. We need to leave while they get ready." Hercules called to us, making to leave the stadium.

"Okay." I called out and we left to wait in the Vestibule with Herc. Herc stared at all the trophies on the wall and they did look cool. It would be so cool to have one like those some day.

"You want to become a true hero, huh?" My blonde friend said trying to start a conversation.

"More than anything." Hercules said and there was a sort of determined glow when he said this. "See, my father is Zeus, the King of the gods up on Mount Olympus."

"Whoa! Herc, you're a god?" Ventus asked shocked as I gave a sigh.

"Ventus, if he was a god would he really be here fighting to be a true hero? Gods are already heroes to begin with. At least I think they are." I said as Ven stared at me with an, 'oh yeah' look on his face while I turned back to Herc. "Something must have happened to him to make him need to be a true hero."

"Yeah, you're right about that Anna." Hercules said looking a bit sad. "When I was a baby, somebody stole me from my parents, and figured out how to take away my godhood."

"So this true hero thing will help you become a god again?" Ven asked as Herc nodded.

"It's the only way I can become a god again." He said looking at the trophies on the walls. "If I become a true hero, I can rejoin my father and go back to Olympus."

"Wow…"

"And here I though we had a lot of pressure." I said rubbing the back of my head. I mean, sure we had to keep the worlds in check and I have to make sure everything happens the way they should but he had to try and be a god again and he didn't even know about his destiny as a god.

"But what about you guys?" Herc said turning to us. "How come you're here?"

"We… we're just trying to make some friends." Ven said looking a bit sad.

"Ven, we just made one." I said putting my hand on his shoulder.

"Anna's right, we're already friends, aren't we?" Herc said as I nodded.

"You bet." Ven said nodding as I went to sling my arm over Herc's shoulders, which was a bit hard seeing as he's taller than me.

"One of the rules of friendship, you can't help but make friends after training with them for a while in a competitive yet fun way." I said waving my finger as Herc and Ven laughed.

"Hey." We turned to see the young man from earlier walking up to us.

"You ready for this, boys?" I asked looking from the young man to Herc.

"You bet."

"Yeah."

"All right, you bunch of rookies. It's time we go over the rules of the Games, so listen up." I turned and moved out of the way so Phil could speak to Herc and the young man. "All the matches are divided into two brackets one for the East and one for the West. The winners from each bracket go head-to-head in the championship match. Now, I signed you two for the West 'cause they already got a heavy-httin' contender there cleanin' up over there in the East bracket. And if you wanna beat him you're gonna haft hustle in there." Both the young men nodded, ready to fight for the right of the best trainer. "Now move those sandals." The three walked to the stadium and Ven and I looked at each other.

"Heavy-hitting contender?" Ven then gave me a look that clear said one thing.

"No Ven, I'm not telling you who it is." I said rubbing my head. "Just because someone said it's a heavy-hitting contender doesn't mean its Terra. For all we know it could be someone else. I mean, the Unversed are a part of this tournament so it could be a strong one."

"Seriously, will they be alright?"

"It should be, it's in a controlled environment so it should be save I think." I said but Ven didn't look fully convinced. "What?"

"C'mon, Ven, Anna!"

"Oh, okay!" Ven said and we ran to the stadium to get some good seats. The fights were actually pretty cool. I mean, sure I'm so used to fighting now and I played the game and watched them was awesome but this is pretty cool. I mean, in the game they only had screen shots but now I get to see the real fight. Now I'm cheering for Herc like it was a pro football game. I really wish I could fight like that on my own some day, without needing anyone to protect me. Soon, before I knew it and before I could lose my voice, it was time for the final match of the East Bracket.

"You did it Herc!" I cheered as Ven and I walked up to him and Phil.

"Guess we made it."

"Yeah, and it's all thanks to you, Anna, Ven." Herc said looking pleased and relieved.

"Good! The other kid'll be happy to hear that." Phil said looking up at Herc a little put out.

"No! I need you most of all Phil! How else am I gonna become a hero?" Herc backtracked; worried he might lose his real trainer.

"Hmph! 'Bout time ya got it!" Phil said still looking slightly offended and walked out of the stadium as the young soldier came to Herc.

"Whoever wins, no hard feelings." He said holding out his hand for Herc to shake.

"Course not, holdin' a grudge wouldn't be very heroic." Herc said as I shook my head.

"Since when did you become a hero?" I asked as Herc gave me a sheepish smile.

"She's right, you're not a hero yet." The young man said and Herc laughed. It's nice to see competitors behaving in such a way; most people usually don't have that in my family. They're so competitive they'll try and crush the other till they start crying.

"True." Herc agreed and they walked into the ring. The fight began and I instantly was reminded of Terra and Aqua's Mark of Mastery exam fight. Each attack was just an inch away from impact and the movements reminded me of our time training back at the Land of Departure; well, minus the fact that Herc kept stumbling here and there. I looked to Ven who looked deep in thought, clearly thinking of the same thing I was.

"Hey! We got trouble!" We all looked to see Phil standing at the entrance into the Vestibule. "There's monsters loose in town and if they gate-crash the Games, you can forget about the match."

"The Unversed again." I whispered to Ven, annoyed I get to miss an important match.

"Real monsters?" Herc gasped, extremely shocked. Didn't he realize that he was fighting monsters while during this tournament?

"We have to stop 'em."

"Leave the monsters to us!" Ven yelled as he and I jumped out of our seat and made for the exit. "This match is too important!"

"We can handle it!" I yelled as we dashed out. It took about a minute to run out of the Vestibule, out of the Coliseum entrance, and down to the town below. When we got there we saw three mushroom like Unversed there waiting for us.

"You won't get past me!" Ven yelled as we released our keyblades.

"This isn't good though." I said as Ven looked at me out of the corner of his eye. "I don't remember the name of these Unversed but I do know they go around in large packs. It's their strategy to take out opponents in large numbers."

"But there aren't many here." Ven said but like with every monster related thing, he spoke too soon. More Unversed came from all sides so that about fifty or so Unversed were staring us down. Now, I know Ven and I have beaten a number of Unversed while on this adventure but we never had to go up against fifty all at once. Even Ventus, looked a little bit scared now that he'd have to face these Unversed even with me fighting with him. Just as they were about to close in on us, there came the sound of hurried footsteps and we looked to see Hercules standing there between us.

"Herc! What about your match?"

"Yeah, you need to finish it." I said as he shook his head.

"Forget the match." Herc said and I stared at him with wide eyes. "No way I could let my friends fight alone. 'Cause I'm a hero, I mean, ya know… I'm gonna be."

"I don't know, what you're doing it pretty heroic." I said as Herc smiled.

"Thanks Anna." Herc said as we looked to the on coming Unversed. "Come on, let's finish this together." I ran in to the mob of mushroom Unversed and soon lost sight of Ventus and Herc in the chaos of the mess I was in. Okay, I knew it was stupid of me to rush into battle but I want to fight on my own. Ventus, Aqua, and Terra can hold there own but I'm always depending on Ventus. I want to fight on my own and hacked my way though the Unversed as best as I could but I can't do it alone; there's too many of them! Then, Ven almost knocked me off my feet when he suddenly came flying in my direction.

"Ven, what are you doing?" I yelled as Ven got up and started attacking the Unversed again.

"Sorry! Herc, we need to be more careful! We almost hit Anna!"

"'Kay!" I stared at Ven for a second but that wasn't really a good idea because I ended up on the ground and my head hurting thanks to the Unversed that so kindly tackled me from behind on my head.

"That's it!" I yelled as Herc came punching his way through to check on me. "Herc, do the same thing to me what you did with Ven! The sooner we get rid of these things the better!"

"Uh… right." Herc said as I jumped and he grabbed onto my arms and started spinning me faster than I've ever gone before letting go and I flew through the mess of mushroom Unversed. If it wasn't for the fact that I was so frustrated with the Unversed right now I would probably cared more about being dizzy and would have most likely fallen to the floor in a heap.

"Hurry up and get lost!" I screamed, shooting spell after spell from my keyblade. "Blizzaga!" I yelled and again strange snow came out of my keyblade only this time, it was so strong it nearly knocked me off my feet. It felt warm, like the light from Lunar Wish, but it looks like the snowflakes from my blizzard spells yet more powerful and looked more like a storm than what happened during training. 'I though Lunar Light is the only power I have.' I thought, attacking more Unversed, not using magic this time.

At least you're showing signs. I heard Lunar cheer in my head. The Lunar Light is a different light made by you.

"Then what is this light?" I asked, not really caring of anyone heard me in this battle. Herc and Ven are probably busy working on fighting the Unversed like me.

I'm not telling. The Lunar Light spell is made from the light of your friends inside your heart. This light is from you and you alone but you have to find out what it is by yourself this time. Okay this is annoying.

"Didn't you say that last time? You just ended up telling me anyway at Radiant Garden anyway!" I yelled at my keyblade.

Yeah well, it should've seemed obvious at the time and that is when you thought of it rather than rushing in. Lunar pointed out and she did have a point. I always rushed into battle to protect people without really thinking. That last battle was the only time I really thought about it. I'm sure you'll see what it is soon, you'll need it to save yourself as well as your friends.

"What?" I asked but Lunar didn't answer me. "Why does this keep on happening?" I yelled, taking out everything on the Mushroom Unversed. It took only five more minutes of those combos with Herc and a few thundaga spells for all the mushroom Unverseds were destroyed. Another thing I noticed was that after that one time, I couldn't use that spell even in I tried but that wasn't really important for now. "Finally, we defeated the monsters and I got my revenge for the head shot earlier!" I cheered with a smirk as Ven and Herc stared at me.

"Anna, are sure you going to be okay?" Ven asked as I nodded.

"I just settled a bit score just now, so thanks guys." I said but remembered about the match. "And sorry for making you lose the match, Herc. I know being a true hero means a lot to you."

"Aw, come on, you don't have to apologize. It was totally my decision." Herc said looking a little sad as Ven gave a sigh, looking thoroughly depressed at this.

"Still…" I said looking up but gasped as I saw another mushroom Unversed coming for Herc from behind. "Herc, look out!" Hercules turned just in time to see a sword come down and slash the Unversed before it could attack him. We looked to see the young man again.

"What, you didn't save any for me?" He asked as we all stared at him shocked. Well, I knew he was coming but he just came out of nowhere.

"Hey, you're here?" Herc said, surprised by the new comer.

"Hey, I've set my sights on being a hero, too." He said walking up to us. "I just don't run as fast, that's all." I couldn't help but giggle as he looked to me.

"Well, you came; a little late but still saved someone." I said and I could see a smile form under the helmet he was wearing.

"See, I've got her approval." He said happily but Ven still looked concerned.

"So you both threw the match?" Ven asked as I crossed my arms. "Who won, then?"

"I left first, so not me." Herc said a little sad and worried at this.

"Yeah, but I was only seconds after you." The guy said looking just worried.

"Still." I guess it's time I said my piece.

"Um, guys. Phil never said he'd train the winner and if I'm correct, this wasn't a test of strength." I said as the boys looked at me.

"She's right." We turned to see Phil walking towards us. "I never said I'd coach the winner. All I said was I'd see the match, then decide. Look, bein' a hero takes more than just muscle. You've gotta have heart and care about people."

"That's right, a hero is not judged only by his strength or publicity. A hero's main goal is to protect the innocent and those they care about." I said as they stared at me.

"When did you know all about this stuff?" Ven asked, looking both shocked and impressed.

"I've read many stories, the heroes that care more about the people around them tend to be the ones who have good endings rather than the ones who go for fame." I said as Phil nodded, crossing his arms.

"Right, and sure you both get high marks for that. But this time, only one cared fast enough and that makes all the difference."

"Then that means…"

"Herc keeps his trainer." I finished as Ven and Herc looked pleased, well more like ecstatic.

"Oh man, I was this close!" The poor guy groaned, slumping forward slightly but cheered up within a second. "Well, that life."

"Wow, fast recovery." I whispered as Ven nodded.

"I never really introduced myself." He said turning to Hercules and taking off his helmet. I already knew him because of his voice and his dreams of becoming a hero but when he removed his helmet to reveal spike black hair in a style familiar to Final Fantasy VII it was clearly obvious who this man is. "The name's Zack. Congratulation Herc." Yep, Zack Fair, friend of Cloud's and main character of the Crisis Core game.

"Thanks, Zack." Herc said looking happy to meet a new friend.

"And we haven't introduced ourselves either." I said as Zack looked to Ventus and I. "My name's Anna and this is my friend Ventus."

"Ven for short." Ven said as Zack nodded.

"Nice to meet cha." He said with a grin.

"Yeah well. We'll see if you're still thankin' him when I'm through with ya. You got a long road ahead of ya, champ." Phil said as we looked back at him.

"Hey, don't count me out." Zack said, beginning his squats. "I've still got plenty of dreams to go with my lousy luck!" The two soon to be hero's shared a bit of a laugh as Ven and I went over to Phil.

"Okay Phil, seriously. You weren't going to walk out of Herc, were you?" I said a slight smile on my face.

"Of course not. I know that kid's gonna go the distance. But he was stuck in a rut. He just needed a little incentive." He said as I looked at Ven who smiled back. Yep, Phil is just a softy. He turned to look at us and we bent down to get better eye contact. "It's Ventus and Anna, right?" He asked as I nodded. "Well, thanks to you guys, Herc here has really shaped up. I owe ya."

"Nah, we're glad. We made a really good friend." Ven said his hands behind his head. "Somebody to share a laugh with."

"Just like Terra and Aqua." I said as Ven nodded.

"We'll patch things up." We looked at each other and nodded. We both knew that if we wanted to catch up with the others we need to leave.

"You're leaving?" Herc asked as we began to leave.

"Yeah, our journey isn't over yet." Ven said and Herc looked a little sad.

"But we'll come back and if Ven's too busy at least I will." I said as Herc looked a little bit happier.

"Yeah, I'll stop by once you're a true hero." Ven said.

"Stop by once me and him are both heroes!" Zack added coming to us.

"Oh, so you mean never come back? I didn't know you liked Anna that much." Ven teased.

"Hey, watch it!" Zack said coming up to us and putting an arm around our shoulders but we pushed him back only for him to return laughed which caused us to laugh and Herc and Phil soon followed. It's been a while since I enjoyed a good laugh, what with everything that was going on it was nice to have a laugh with friends when those friend you're close to are off somewhere. Say, I got an idea.

"Say, Phil. Do you have some paper and something to write with?" I asked, as Phil looked confused.

"Huh? Oh sure, there should be some paper and ink back in the vestibule."

"Thanks. Zack, can you come with me?"

"Huh? Sure." Zack said with a nod.

"Good, let's go." I said and we ran back to the vestibule.

"What are you doing, Anna?" Zack asked as I started writing.

"I need you to deliver something for me to two of my friends when you see them." I said, writing my first letter to Terra.

"How do you know I'll meet them?" Zack asked, a little curious.

"Let's just say I know things." I said, looking down at my quick work.

Terra

How are you? Good job on winning but I really wanted to congratulate you on not giving into the darkness. I know it's was hard for you but really, I'm happy you can do it. Ventus is still with me and I'm sure he'd be happy to know you're doing better. There's so much I want to tell you that this little letter can't do justice for but I want to tell you the most important thing. Ventus and I are still here to help you if you need anything so don't let the darkness take you. I really hope to see you soon, we are seeing the same worlds after all.

Anna

P.S. If you don't move quickly, Zack might make Aqua his girlfriend.

"Who's Terra?" Zack asked, looking over my shoulder at my letter.

"You're next opponent in the final round." I said, folding the letter and handing it to Zack. "After the match, please give this to him for me."

"Sure." Zack said, putting it in his armor.

"Thanks now one more and you're going to thank me for it." I said, taking another paper and started writing.

"How?"

"I'm gonna try and convince a friend of mine to date you." I said with a grin.

"Really? What is she like?" I didn't look up at him but I can tell he was eager.

"Oh, you'll like her. Trust me." I said, looking over my little letter.

Aqua,

It's me, Anna. I know the first thing you'd ask me if I was really here is if I returned Ventus home. Well, I didn't. He needs to see the world, it's his right. But that's not why I'm sending you this letter. I just wanted to tell you that Terra is trying to fight the darkness. He really does do a good job of it so far. He's going a good job but he still needs us for support. I just want to let you know that he's trying. He doesn't feel good about the bad things but he does do good thing. He didn't mean to take Princess Aurora's heart and he didn't want to harm Snow White. He's got a good heart, it's just his darkness is being tempted. Please, be careful of Master Xehanort.

Anna

P.S. Say yes to Zack! He's a good guy. And I won't tell the others about it.

"Here you go." I said, handing him the last letter. "Make sure you give this letter to her after you ask her out."

"Okay, thank you so much." Zack said looking excited. I couldn't help but laugh. It's kind of nice to see Zack like this. I'm kind of jealous that Aqua gets asked out. "How will I know it's your friend?"

"Terra or Aqua?"

"Both."

"Well, you'll be facing Terra next and Aqua will be in the next tournament." I answered, with a little wink. "Please, remember to give the letters to them for me."

"Sure, we're friends, right?" I nodded and I got up. "I really hope you do become a true hero, Zack."

"Can you tell me if I'm going to be a hero soon? You do know things, right?" He asked as I shook my head.

"Sorry, but all my visions are about Terra, Ven, and Aqua." I said as Zack gave a sigh.

"Still, what's the fun in that? I'll become a hero for sure."

"Then I'll cheer for you and I'm sure Ven will too." I said as Zack nodded.

"You'd better take care, I'm hoping to have a fight with you in the Games some day."

"Right." I said and the two of us walked out of the vestibule to see Herc and Ventus staring at us.

"Anna, what was that all about?" He asked as I shook my head.

"Just a talk between two friends. I asked him to deliver a message to Terra and Aqua when he sees them." I said as Ventus looked shocked.

"Really? What did you say?"

"That I'm glad is Terra is fighting his darkness and I told Aqua his progress. I'm sure Aqua will be happy to hear it."

"Yeah, I'm glad Terra is doing better." Ventus said as Phil, Herc, and Zack walked back into the vestibule. "Do you think Herc and Zack will ever be true heroes?" All I can do was shrug. I couldn't tell him that Zack might will go missing and that I'll never know if he'll become a hero or not while Herc becomes a hero. I couldn't tell him that this'll be the last time he'll see Herc or Zack till he wakes up and I don't even know how long that'll take. Time is closing in on us and soon Ven will learn about the awful truth about his past. Still, I'd have to keep him smiling for the next few worlds. I need to find out how to use that spell that was and what it is. I'm sure it's the key that can save Ventus and the others. I mean, it seemed powerful and it may be strong enough to beat Master Xehanort and Vanitas. I think I may have found my way of saving all my friends, but if I stop this the first game will happen. I just realized that if I stop Master Xehanort and Vanitas, I'll never meet Sora or Riku. I want to save my friends but I want to be a part of the next few games too. And if I do stop Master Xehanort and save everyone, what'll I do after that?

Blair: Oh my god, I wish I can see Aqua's face!

Crystal: I'm really happy with this.

Anna: What is it with you and giving me powers? I just learned Lunar Light.

Crystal: Well, there's a reason why for this one that you'll see later. Oh and I forgot, I have the cover for this fanfiction on my Deviantart account. If you'd like to see it, the link is on my bio. So next chapter, Deep Space. Until next time. Bye!
