Soon Sora and his friends came back to the Mysterious Tower happy with their unbeknown false victory against Elsa and Catastrophe. And what they saw shocked them, they saw Riku, Terra, Donald and Goofy bandaged and slumped against the wall while they were sitting on the floor in shame from their defeat against the True Keyblade Master.
"What happened to you guys?" Sora asked only to receive glares from the two moody ones a.k.a. Riku and Terra.
Goofy answered instead, "We made it to Maleficent's castle, but when we got there, that uh, Nairbix fellow was leaving with Maleficent's staff in his hands. We tried to take it from him, but he mopped the floor with us without even using his Keyblade."
"Yeah, he used some kind of weird technique that made a really powerful burst that sent us flying." Donald added making push movements to give an example. Sora only grew angry at hearing that they once again lost to this guy.
"Master, I know that you know more about this guy than probably anyone else. So will you please for once, save the mysteriousness for later and tell us what kind of power we're up against?" Sora demanded impatiently. The others looked at him shocked to see him talk to Master Yen Sid like that.
"Sora, watch what you say to the master!" Aqua snapped at her former pupil. He then realized what he had said and lowered his head with regret and shame.
"Please forgive me, Master. I lost my temper and took it out on you, I'm sorry." Sora said bowing to his superior. Yen Sid waved his hand at his apology.
"No, you are right, Sora. It is time I truly tell you the strengths of Nairbix VanSull. First, I shall start with how I met him so long ago." Yen Sid said lowering his head and closing his eyes to remember his first meeting with the hero's newest enemy. But to better show everyone he raised one hand to his head and stretched out the other with his hand open towards everyone in the room to show them the memory itself.
Everyone then saw in their minds the past of their Master, they then saw him walk up a barren hill that led to the ruined castle that held the fallen fairy Maleficent. He still wore the same robes and hat as he does now but his beard was darker in the center and came straight down like a streak. The guards looked at him with glares but did nothing for they knew not to even think of anything that might give the wizard a reason to use his magic on them.
He continued walking until he came into the evil fairy's throne room, and there he saw her dressed in black robes, with long horns, pale moon skin with long black hair reaching down to the center of her back. She was currently sitting on her throne with her staff in her left hand and a large black jeweled ring on her right middle finger. She gazed down at the wizard from her high perch, a crow then swooped down and landed on the top of her staff, she still looked down on the old man who did not look away and stood firm towards Maleficent.
"I'm glad to see you received and accepted my invitation, Yen Sid." She said with a sickening sweet smile.
"Obviously, or else I would not have bothered coming here, Maleficent. Is he here or not?" Yen Sid with his natural glare.
"Of course he is. I make sure to keep him here at all times in my sight. Come along then, I will lead you to him." She said motioning over to the corridor to the left as she walked down the stair case that led to her throne. They walked down two hallways to reach a wooden door that seemed to be in better condition than all the others which seemed to be nothing but remains of old lumber. Maleficent then opened the door to show a more cared for room that had a small soft looking bed in one corner that seemed big enough for a small child.
On the floor was a wide red circular rug that had several stuffed animals scattered around it, some were bears others were rabbits that seemed to be handmade but made poorly none the less. In the center of the carpet was a little boy with straight black hair that spiked at the end of each lock, he was wearing a long black short sleeved coat, the coat had belt straps to link the sides together from his torso to his neck the belts connected closing the top.
From the waist down his coat was open to show black pants and black boots, underneath the coat was a black chain mail. He had emerald green eyes with slit-like pupils. He seemed to be about five years old or at most a six year old about to turn seven, the boy was holding a poorly made black limp stuffed dragon it seemed to be his favorite because he was holding on to it tightly.
"Nairbix, darling." Maleficent said warmly to the child with a motherly smile.
"Yes, Mother?" He said turning his head to see his mother with an old man next to her.
"This is Keyblade Master Yen Sid. He is here to see that trick you can do. The one you showed me a little while ago." She reminded her son.
"Oh, okay." He then stood up and lifted his left arm to his right and made a motion where it looked like he was pulling something out. As he waved his arm over to where it was extended down at his side a cylinder of darkness surrounded his arm and in his hand was a Keyblade, one of darkness. It was about the length for a child his size it was menacing, it was magenta and black it had green eye with a black slit for a pupil just above the hilt.
The guard was in the shape of black heart with curved thorns outlining it, the hilt was black with a hint of red through the center with two red swirls on the center one on top of the other. At the end of the guard was chain and at the end was a red arrow with a curved down spike on each side with an inward curve just under each one. The blade itself was black with hints of red, decorated down straight blade were S swirls and half S swirls in the color blood red, at the end of the blade were the teeth that seemed demonic it was like the rest of the blade black with hints of red. It seemed to be made of thorns and spikes, all in all this was to the eyes of Yen Sid a Keyblade of darkness.
"Like that, sir?" Nairbix asked innocently looking up at the older man who smiled at him.
"Yes, little one. Do you know what this is?" He asked pointing at the weapon in the little boy's hand. He received a shake of the head telling him no. "That is what is known as a Keyblade. I have come to offer you a chance to learn how to properly wield it." The boy looked very shocked at what he heard and then looked at his mother to see if it was alright to answer.
"It's your choice, darling." Maleficent said with a sad reassuring smile at her boy. He then put away his Keyblade and walked over to his mother and hugged her legs. She felt tears come to her eyes as she crouched down to meet his level and hugged him back now knowing his answer.
"Will I be able to see her again?" Nairbix asked the older man.
Yen Sid looked at him with a smile and said, "Of course, she will be able to visit you while you train with me. Do not worry, this will not be the last time you see your mother. This will also be a chance for you to have many adventures and friends both from many worlds."
Nairbix then looked at his mother's cold eyes that he knew were filled with love for him and him alone. He then said to her, "Thank you so much for everything that you have done for me, you took me in and raised me even though it was for a short time. I know I'm not your real son, but I am glad that you took me in and that you were the first one to love me."
"I may not have given birth to you, but never think for a moment that you are not my real son. I am so glad that I found you and that I am your mother. I love you, sweetheart. So much." She said to him with tears in her eyes. Her crow Diaval, looked at his little master with a sad look in his eyes as he watched the boy he too loved, leave them.
"Are you ready, Nairbix?" Yen Sid asked sad to see the one thing that gave the dark fairy happiness. The boy then grabbed all of his things together in a little sack with his dragon in his left arm and nodded. The new apprentice then walked out of the castle while all of the creatures that guarded it bowed their heads in sadness as they saw their little master leave.
As they were walking out of the castle Nairbix spoke up, "Um, Master? You do know that I have a heart of pure darkness, don't you?"
Yen Sid looked down at the little boy holding his hand, and noticed that he had a scared look on his face when he asked this question.
He gave him a kind smile and said to him, "Yes, I do know that. But I do not see why that would change my reasons for wanting to teach you. Many believe that the nature of one's heart defines that person, but I say otherwise. I think that it is the actions one makes that define them, makes them whom they are. Whether or not they have more darkness than light in their hearts, or with more light than darkness or even if you have only one of the two. It is our own choices that define each and every one of us it makes us whom we are. This is the beginning of a new life for you, my young pupil. What choice shall you make to start it?" The old wizard asked.
Nairbix looked out in front of him to see the dark sky and barren landscape that he has grown to love and call home. He then looked behind him to see his mother her castle and her minions all filled with darkness but proved to be home and family to him in his two years living there with them all.
He then looked forward once more and said with determination, "I choose to prove to everyone in every world out there, that darkness can be used for good and not just evil. That darkness can be just as protecting as light and that there is no difference, only that people have misused it to make others think that it is evil."
"That is quite a goal you have. But I think that you shall be the one to prove this to people, it sounds like you have a good dream in mind." Yen Sid chuckled.
"Oh, no, that's not my dream." Nairbix said shaking his head as they stopped at the spot where Yen Sid entered to this world.
"Then what is your dream, Nairbix?" Yen Sid asked turning towards his new apprentice and looking down at him over his beard.
The boy looked up at his Master with a smile and said proudly, "To get married and have a family one day."
"That is an excellent dream, little one." Yen Sid replied with a smile.
He then summoned his own Keyblade, its guard was around the black guard made in the shape of blue wings on each side that turned golden on their tips and where the wings began were circles with yellow stars in the center. Just below the hilt was yellow for pronged star with a short silver spike in between each groove, connected to that star was a short silver chain that at the end carried a small golden moon. Above the hilt was a similar star but slightly smaller and was blue, the blade was a night blue rod covered with white stars as it rose to the top it curved in two a light violet curve with four short spikes along the outer side, on the inner side of the crescent grove was a large crescent golden moon with a golden star in between the arch of the crescent.
With a wave of it he opened a corridor of light and the two walked through it beginning a brand new adventure together. They then came to The Mysterious Tower where Nairbix was going to begin his new life as a wielder of the Keyblade. As they walked up the winding staircase Yen Sid led Nairbix to his new bedroom which was a very simple accommodation, it had a bed, a book shelf, a desk and window in the shape of a crescent moon showing the permanent night sky over the sea of lava.
"Now rest for tonight, tomorrow we shall begin your training." Yen Sid informed just before closing the door.
Nairbix then put away his things and got under the covers of his bed with his dragon snuggled in his arms as sleep took him. Morning came and Nairbix awoke to find a plate of breakfast on his desk, after he ate, he then looked around to find his Master but instead he found someone else entirely. A small mouse child wearing a too big red robe with rope tied around his waist as a belt with dark blue shorts underneath with old brown shoes for his large feet. He also wore white gloves for his huge hands, his fur was black and he had a big round head with two big circular ears on top of his head, he had black oval shaped eyes. He was carrying two wooden buckets of water and looked as though he was in a hurry.
"Hello?" Nairbix asked. The mouse turned towards him with a smile.
"Oh, hello, you must be Master's new apprentice. I'm Mickey, his other apprentice." He introduced with a nod seeing how he couldn't shake hands.
"Yep, my name is Nairbix VanSull." He introduced. "Um, do you know where to find the master?" He asked.
"Yep, I'm heading there right now actually." Mickey said. They then began to walk down the hallway until they came into Yen Sid's study with said wizard sitting in his tall wooden chair.
"Good morning, Master." They both said.
"And good morning to you as well, my young apprentices. So it would seem that you two have now met, now we may begin your training."
Everyone then saw a flash as they moved on to the next memory, they saw that they were back in the study and Nairbix seemed to be older either ten or eleven. He still wore the same jacket but it was now the size he needed for his current age/size, Mickey was still wearing his red robes he had barely grown at all over the years. Yen Sid still looked as he was when he picked up Nairbix, he looked at both of his pupils with a look of pride.
"Now, my young students, we are fortunate to witness a most proud moment for wielders of the Keyblade, today we shall witness the Mark of Mastery. Only one of you has proven worthy to take this Mark. Though both of you has proven over your years of training, that you are both remarkable wielders of the Keyblade. Step forward, Nairbix." Yen Sid said to his pupil who did as he was asked. "Your Mark of Mastery shall be combat. You may use any technique that you wish to use, you shall be fighting with a creature that will stop at nothing to ensure that you do not pass this test. What you must do, is defeat it. Once you have done that, I shall promote you to the rank of Master of the Keyblade."
"Master, what is this creature that I shall be facing?" Nairbix asked.
With a raise of his arm and his hand open about to cast a spell and shouted, "Light!"
And with that Nairbix was sent into a completely different place. It was wide blue canyon crater and in front of him was someone who looked exactly like him only his black jacket and hair was white and his eyes were a crazed red, in his hand was just a simple white sword.
"You don't deserve that power!" The doppelganger said with a crazed voice and look. "You are nothing but darkness, you have no light in you at all! Even your filthy Keyblade is pure darkness! You should just be destroyed!"
"And you are just like everyone else that relies too much on light, too blinded by it to actually see someone for who they are if they have more darkness in their heart than you do. Judging someone before you even know them is just pathetic and stereotypical." Nairbix said trying to tick this thing off.
"Silence, spawn of darkness!" The fake then charged Nairbix with an unbelievable speed, but to him it was a snail's pace. He summoned his Keyblade with a bored expression and blocked the attack.
"Don't you realize that I am you?! I am who you would have been if you were filled with nothing but light!" It declared.
"So that means, I either have to accept you or repel you. I choose to repel you, because if I accept you then I accept that I can easily become you." Nairbix said shoving off the doppelganger and slicing it across the chest causing blood to burst from the wound, it then fell to the ground with it eyes lifeless and filled with shock.
"This was too easy." Nairbix said suspiciously looking around for something else to attack. Just then rumbling could be felt and heard, over across the crater he could see what looked like a skeleton hand grab the cliffs like it was pulling its body up. He then saw a giant angel that was missing half of its flesh on one side while the other side had all of its flesh and one eye closed.
"Darkness must be eliminated!" It cried without moving its mouth.
"Heh, now it gets interesting." Nairbix said with a wicked smirk. He began to run towards the monster with an even faster speed than the doppelganger, the monster than slammed its skeleton hand on the ground trying to crush Nairbix but failing as he saw this as an opening.
He jumped on the arm and ran up towards the head to hit it with his Keyblade, after he made contact the monster slammed face first onto the ground leaving Nairbix smiling evilly while floating in midair. He then closed his hand only leaving his index and middle finger up and pressed together, with his hand lifted to where it was just below his chin he shot his arm up quickly so his hand was above his face. This caused a massive explosion in the crater with the fallen angel being caught in it, the blast was like a geyser of purple energy with a black outline shooting up into the sky destroying the monstrous angel.
"Again, this was too easy." Nairbix said very bored. Then in a flash of light he was back in the study about to receive his Master's decision.
"Nairbix, you have shown your strength in combat, resolve, and order. The beast you faced was one that represented those who stray too far into light and are blinded by it, you have shown that you shall maintain the balance of light and darkness. So it is with great pride and happiness, that I promote you, Nairbix VanSull, to Keyblade Master." Yen Sid said with a proud smile. And with that the flashback ended, everyone then looked at the old wizard with shocked expressions; while he had his head was down and his eyes were closed.
"He became a master in that short amount of time?" Aqua asked breathlessly after seeing the memory.
"As I told you before, he was a genius and a prodigy when it came to the teachings of the Keyblade. Never before has anyone who has wielded this weapon shown the skill and talent that he has shown over his years as wielder. If you wish to learn more about him you need only ask and I shall show you another memory." Yen Sid informed.
"Master, you said that Nairbix hasn't been seen for ten years, right? Where has he been?" Ventus asked.
"It is not my place to say. Though he has shown hostility towards several worlds, he is still my student and I shall respect his past troubles." Yen Sid said looking at all of them.
"But if you know something about him, we might have a better chance at taking him down!" Terra said slamming his armored fist on the old wizard's desk.
"Terra! Calm down, if Master Yen Sid doesn't want to tell us then we should acknowledge his reasons and leave it alone!" Aqua snapped at her friend and student, he only growled before walking over to a corner with his arms crossed as he leaned against the wall with a scowl.
"Anyway, do we have any other leads to where he and his lackeys are or are heading?" Riku asked trying to change the atmosphere's awkward tension.
"None. I suggest that you travel to other worlds where your friends reside. Maybe someone you know has heard of anything that may prove useful." Yen Sid suggested.
"He's right! I say we all head to Radiant Garden and see if Leon and the others may know something." Sora said getting excited. Everyone then nodded and went outside of the tower to get onto their riders for Radiant Garden.
They made their way to the scarred world, it looked like reconstruction was still commencing. Ruble and construction tools/materials were littered around the ground, the town was a small town filled with hardworking people who wanted only to rebuild their town to how it was before darkness scarred it nearly eleven years ago. The nine friends soon walked to up to a ruined castle that seemed to have a giant beaten clock built into it, they had to find their way through the maze of hallways in order to find the former scientist's (who used to live in this castle) study. When they opened the door to the study they found their friends inside.
"Well, look who decided to grace us with their presence." Said their ninja friend Yuffie jokingly. She wore long knee-length black and white sneakers, short black jeans, a sleeveless black vest with white outlines and a long headband tied around her forehead. She had dark brown eyes and short black hair, next to her was Squall Lionheart or Leon as he preferred.
He had long brown hair that resembled a lion's mane, a long scar across the midsection of his face, he wore a short sleeved black leather jacket with white fur around the neck area over a white tee-shirt. He also wore a long silver necklace that had a lion's head devouring a broadsword, his pants were long and black with two brown leather belts dropping to his pockets with black leather boots, and fingerless gloves covered his hands.
"Long time no see." Leon said with a slight smirk.
"Hey, Leon, Yuffie." Sora said with a wave. "Hey have you guys ever heard of a guy named Nairbix VanSull before? Or a girl named Scarlet Rose?" He asked.
"Nope, but maybe Tron will have a source or something you can use." Yuffie said leading them to the computer room. When they walked in they saw a middle aged man hunched over in a chair typing on a large keyboard, he had spiky up-right blonde hair, goggles around his neck, and he wore a dirty white shirt and brown pants. This was another friend of Sora and the others, Cid the tech wiz of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee.
"Hey, Cid. Listen can you and Tron look up someone on the computer for us?" Sora asked.
"Sure thing, sport. Just give the name and Tron here will take care of the rest." Cid said without even looking at them.
"Greetings, Sora." The voice of the computer program called Tron said through the computer.
"Hey, Tron, okay I need you to look up someone called Nairbix VanSull." Sora informed causing red lights and a warning sign on the screen of the computer.
"Don't say that name!" Tron shouted causing everyone to cover their ears.
"Why, do you know something about him, Tron?" Aqua asked once he calmed down.
"He was the one who plunged the town into an even worse darkness after Xehanort left his own to slightly harm the town." Tron informed.
"What do you mean slightly harm, wasn't he the one who scarred the town with darkness?" Aqua asked confused.
"No, he only released a small amount of darkness eleven years ago. It was ten years ago when the town was nearly destroyed by darkness and it was not by Xehanort. I have a security video of Nairbix releasing his darkness if you want to see it for yourselves." Tron suggested. He then pulled up an old video on the screen it was Nairbix and Ansem the wise in the center of the town with Ansem on the ground cowering in fear as Nairbix stood over him with his Keyblade out and a look of pure rage on his face.
"Please don't kill me! I will do anything!" Ansem pleaded.
"You think that if you beg for mercy, you shall receive it?! No! No, I will not show you mercy, in fact I shall make you suffer further, and you and your entire world shall feel my wrath and my darkness." Nairbix said dismissing his Keyblade. "I heard that a year ago your apprentice took your name and pride and released darkness into your world. It was a small amount from what I have noticed since I arrived here. Child's play compared to what I shall do, now this world of light shall know true darkness, now this world shall know pain!" Nairbix said razing his arm up to his chest with his hand opened like a claw, darkness came swirling from the world and into his hand as a swirling glowing black sphere collecting more and more darkness by the second from the world.
After several more seconds all of the world's darkness was collected and concentrated into a small sphere in Nairbix's hand. He then looked at it with an evil look on his face and raised his arm up and tilted his head back with his mouth open showing his sharp teeth glistening with saliva. He then dropped the sphere of darkness in his mouth and began to eat it with his eyes closed, as he finished chewing everyone could hear him swallow it.
As soon as he did he eyes shot open and his slit like pupils thinned to where they could barely be seen, darkness emanated from his body like smoke and started to swirl around him. His arms were crossed covering his face, once all of the darkness reentered his body and the rumbling began he flew opened his arms with a circular wave of force blasting out from him as he yelled. The world began to shake, in some areas crystals erupted from the ground puncturing some people, craters were formed and the ground began to split everywhere.
"Now this world has felt the pain of my own darkness mixed with its own. Hmm, from the looks of this place it's not so much as a garden of radiance but more like a hollow bastion. That shall be this world's new name, Hollow Bastion. Look at it well, Ansem the Wise. This all happened because of what you have done and remember this, I will come back for you one day, and when I do I will rip out your filthy heart, crush it and then I will cut your head off and mount it with your fear filled expression in the center of this town for everyone to see!" Nairbix declared just before the video buzzed out into static.
"That is how the town was brought into such a desolation." Tron said to everyone who were in shock.
"What drives someone to do something like that to an entire world?" Aqua asked still in shock after seeing the powers of darkness that the True Keyblade Master had.
"Wouldn't you like to know, Master Aqua?" A voice said from the computer that did not belong to Tron. The computer then turned red with data before the symbol of Nairbix grew onto the screen just before it was replaced by the man's face.
"My past is a bit of a darker one than some. Ansem was an adding source to the darkness of despair in my heart."
"So that's what this is all about, revenge?!" Kairi asked loudly.
"Oh, revenge is only a part of my plans, my dear. Soon every world shall now what it feels like to lose what makes it complete, like I learned ten years ago thanks to Ansem!" He replied.
"Every last one of you has only helped me come closer to achieving my goal, and no matter what you do, no matter what you try, nothing shall stop us. Oh, and one more thing you may want to keep in mind, there is a traitor in your midst. I would be careful of trusting the people who you are traveling with, just to let you know." Nairbix said with taunt in his voice.
"Like any of us would believe you!" Ventus shouted at the screen.
"It's your call, but I never lie. But one of the nine of you does, and has been throughout your search for me. I wish you all the best of luck, you'll need it." He said darkly as the screen went blank.
"Like any of us would help that creep." Sora said still glaring at the computer screen. Everyone nodded at what he said with angry determined looks on their faces.
"We'll show'em, right, fellas?" Mickey asked receiving nods from everyone.
"If we hear anything about this guy and his plans we'll be sure to let you know." Leon said to them.
"Thanks, Leon. We better find out more about this guy if we want to stop him let's go." Sora said to the other eight just before they left, after they did the computer screen came back on with Nairbix on the screen making Leon and Yuffie kneel.
"So they believe that you are helping them?" Nairbix asked.
"Yes, Master. They do." Leon said. He then shrank into a little pinkish red blob creature and went over to touch Yuffie and turn her into her real form, a pink alien with big ears and long antenna draped behind her head like hair. These were really experiments 316 and 624!
"Send them to the world formally known as Beast's Castle, Scarlet Rose will be waiting for them there. We need them to lead us to the next item necessary for the plan." Nairbix said before ending the transmission.
Sure enough the nine friends were sent to Beast's Castle, of course the spell on the castle was no longer there but it was easier for them to call it that, now it was a normal castle again with normal humans and animals living within its gates. They then walked up into the massive castle to see Sora's old friends Belle and the Prince (Beast) standing in the main hallway smiling once they saw Sora Donald and Goofy.
"Hey guys, long time no see." Sora said waving at his friends as he walked over to them. He then noticed that Belle was a bit fatter than he remembered.
"Hey, Belle, I know that you're living like a princess now, but don't you think you should cut down on the sweets?" Sora said stupidly. Everyone behind him just smacked their foreheads at what he said.
"She's pregnant, not fat you idiot!" Aqua said smacking him on the head with a lot of force. Everyone just laughed at the scene, just then the large doors behind them blew open with someone running through it with great speed. Everyone then saw Scarlet Rose standing at the top of the staircase with her Keyblade out pointing it at her Belle's neck as she was being held in an arm lock.
"Now we can make this as clean and easy as it has to be." She said evenly. "You there, prince. Take me to where you keep its remains. Don't even think about lying, I know you kept it so lead me to it or else." Scarlet Rose threatened.
"Or else what?!" Sora asked summoning his Keyblade.
"Or else the former Beast here, will have to watch both his wife and unborn child die. So I will say it again, take me to where you keep it and I shall not harm your true love here and you will never see me again." She said.
"Okay I'll do it, just stay calm." The prince said with his voice trembling.
"Speak for yourself, I am completely calm. You, Sora. You're coming with us, I need to make sure the most rambunctious one stays in line." She said motioning for them to lead the way with her head.
The four of them walked all the way to the west wing, the prince then pushed a block on the wall in front of the staircase opening a small compartment that held a glass dome with a dead rose's petals on the plate that was covered by the dome.
"A deal is a deal." Scarlet Rose said as she threw Belle into the prince's arms they then ran out of the west wing to tell the others. Scarlet Rose then saw that Sora did not leave he just stood there with an angry look on his face towards the girl in front of him.
"Oh, what's the matter, upset that I threatened your little friend?" She said with a pout.
"Why are you doing this? What do you plan to gain by taking these objects from all these worlds?" Sora asked.
"We have a plan that requires these objects, so that answers one of your questions, I am assuming you have more." She suggested.
"Yeah, what is Nairbix to you, why do you blindly follow him?" Sora asked receiving a glare from her one eye.
"My reasons are my own for being a part of this." She growled.
"Fine then here's my biggest question, why the heck did you kiss me?!" He yelled.
"What you didn't like it?" She said batting her eyelashes with a cute fake pout.
"No! I happen to be in a relationship with someone!" Sora shouted.
"But how do you know you can trust her? What if she is with us? Or even worse what about any of them being a traitor. How do you know if you can trust any of them?" She asked.
"There is no spy!" Sora cried.
"Spies." She said emphasizing the S. "There are spies, two of them actually, but besides that why not come with us? We could always use another set of hands and another Keyblade."
"In, your, dreams. I for one am having a hard enough time talking to you let alone work with you to pick up objects from random worlds." Sora said hotly.
"So you're telling me that you felt nothing when I kissed you, not even the faintest spark?" Scarlet Rose asked softly cupping his face in her hands.
"No, I felt nothing at all." Sora spat showing his anger thinking that she was still trying to mess with his head. "In fact, there is without a doubt no possible way that I would even consider having feelings for you if that's what you want to know." He then turned around so his back was facing her.
"Well, what if I told you that I did have feelings for you, that I can't get you out of my mind? What would you say to that?" She asked.
"I'd say that I would rather throw myself off the highest tower this castle-no no no no, any castle has and land head first on the ground splitting my head open than even think any thoughts that would seem like I have feelings for an evil, thieving, creepy girl with an obsession for roses like you!" He shouted, as he said "like you" he turned around and saw her face and what he saw shocked him. Scarlet Rose was almost crying, she had tears building up in her one good eye, it was filled with hurt from hearing Sora insult her like that. Here she was a girl who had done nothing wrong to him insulted because she was only telling him things she thought he should hear.
"Well then, if that's what you think I will stop trying to mess with your head like that. I mean, it's not like I actually have feelings for you, I guess there is nothing that can get past you." She said shaking her head trying to act like he hadn't really hurt her feelings. "You know that girl you're with is so lucky to be with a guy like you who always speaks his mind." She then opened up a corridor of darkness with the rose petals under her arm and looked back at Sora just before walking through it.
"Sora!" His friends yelled, Kairi then latched onto him in a hug relieved that her boyfriend was okay.
"Honey, is everything okay?" Kairi asked looking up at him, Sora was still looking at where the corridor used to be.
"Everything's… fine." He said still not moving his gaze.
Elsewhere on another world a corridor of darkness opened in a huge cave filled with scientific things built by Jumba who was connecting a large electrical tube with the help of his experiments, from the corridor came Scarlet Rose speed walking through the cave with the rose petals in the large jar under her arm.
"Ah, little Rosie, you made it back with the petals, good now we can move on with the plan." Jumba said not realizing that she was not in the mood to talk as she put it on the table that had the other items. "Eh, Rosie are you alright?" but she just walked past him. "Rosie… Rosie!" he called for her. She just kept walking until she found her older sister sitting on a rock reading a book.
"Hey, Rosie, did you get the rose petals?" Elsa asked.
"Is Dad here?" She asked with her hair covering her eye.
"No he went to go get the next thing we need, why?" Elsa asked, her answer was her sister burying her face into her dress crying very hard. Elsa being the good big sister she was began to try and soothe Scarlet Rose and comfort her while rubbing her back.
"Sweetie, what happened?" Elsa asked surprised that her sister was brought to such a state. Scarlet Rose looked up at her older sister and said through her tears and sniffles.
"I just got my heart broken." With that she continued to cry while her older sister could only think this one thought, "Whoever did this to her is going to die!"
