Another Chance, Another heart

Ch.9 Dark Forces.

"…father! Father please stop! FATHER!"

Arnexia woke up in a cold sweat as the nightmare departed from her mind, she slowly lifted herself up out of bed… her head was swimming with memories.

No… I don't want to remember more… this has become a curse.

After she had gotten cleaned up and dressed, she left some money for the old woman that had let her spend the night on the bed as she opened a dark portal and let herself be enveloped in its dark presence… she was walking along the bridge between worlds when familiar voices came into her mind, she closed her eyes as she let the vision sweep into her mind.

"…so where are we going to find her? She's probably in The World that Never Was. Fine then let's go…"

The vision departed and she opened he liquid gold eyes.

I must protect him from xehanort.

**************************************************************************************************

She is nowhere around here.

Oh riku, would you stop complaining for five minutes at least? I asked him.

Well… its just we've been looking for hours since we split up from the rest of the group and I think its time we need to head back.

Ok, let's go.

We walked over to the meeting place to find that the rest of the gang were already waiting for us.

Well it's about time, what took you two so long?

We got lost. I said

Well I would think that riku would have remembered the way.

Don't push it sora. Riku said.

Oh that reminds me! You guys have got to come and watch ale!

Really? Is his training coming along faster than planned? I asked.

More like he's finished his training! He's remembering everything from his past and boy does he know how to fight!

We walked over to where ale was fighting a circle of heartless and he wasn't even getting a scratch from it, it was then that I noticed what weapon he was using.

Uh… sora why can ale use the power of darkness like riku? I asked.

We don't know, he… just started fighting with it.

Well then… let's just see how good he really is.

I grabbed my keyblade and jumped into the circle of heartless with ale and made a duel pose, he gave me a look of pure malice.

After you then… Madame.

We stood there and looked at each other for what seemed like hours. The sky had turned black and it had started to rain… then without warning we both clashed into one another! Are bodies glided through the rain in a graceful motion which made it seem as if we were doing some type of dance, then we noticed blasts of darkness coming from organization13's castle.

There she is. Riku said.

We all ran to the castle with great speed, what we found was that Arnexia apparently had gone into a battle she could not win.

Give them to me now Arnexia! Xemnas yelled.

I would rather fade away and go into the darkest hole of kingdomhearts! She screamed.

So be it then!

Xemnas flew 10ft into the air and started powering up for his wipe out attack that no one could survive.

We've got to so something. Sora whispered.

What are we… ale what are you doing! I shouted.

Ale had jumped from his hiding place and ran to the railing at the edge of the castle, he threw a dark ball right into the heart of Xemnas, the power was so full of energy that it caused it to explode with such force that it caused the level that ale and arnexia were on to break away form the rest of the castle.

What did you do you idiot! Arnexia screamed.

I just saved your life!

Well now you've just killed us both!

Ale started to slide toward the railing, arnexia caught sight of a window ledge and quickly jumped onto it, ale slid into the railing and flipped over the edge, and he quickly grabbed one of the bars and held on as tightly as he could.

Ale! Ale hold on! I screamed.

Arnexia looked at ale her eyes full of frustration and fear.

He'll be fine, it's not my problem.

Ale's hand started to slip from the bar, he looked up at arnexia his full of fear and his face pleading for her to help, then his hand slid off the bar.

Oh blast it! Arnexia shouted.

Arnexia let go of the window ledge and plummeted toward the ground, she straightened her body so she could quickly catch up with ale, when she did she grabbed his arm and pulled him close then flipped herself over so that when the landed she would land first.

Why are you doing this?! Ale shouted at her through the rushing air.

Because… a long time ago I took an oath to protect you ale! She shouted back.

My heart froze as they crashed through one of the buildings and landed with a boom on the ground.

Come on we've got to help them! I shouted.

Hold on to me everyone. Sora said.

Everyone grabbed hold of sora as he jumped off the edge of the castle and headed toward the building, using magic he gracefully landed on top of the building.

Look over there. Kairi said as she pointed to the hole.

We ran over and looked down the hole; we saw ale stumbling over the ruble on the ground floor.

Ale! I shouted.

Are you ok? Riku asked.

I… guess. Ale replied.

We made our way down through the rubble to the ground floor; we found ale sitting on a broken bookshelf with blood dripping through his hair.

Ale stay still and I'll stitch this up. I said.

I think I'm to dizzy to notice the pain any way. He replied.

So where's arnexia? Sora asked him.

I don't know how she managed so she wouldn't fade away after that, but she's unconscious over there in the hole. Ale answered.

Ale pointed to a hole that had to be at least 5ft deep, sora and riku ran over there to find arnexia with her hood up and her hair stranded all over her face.

Holy smokes. Sora said in awe.

She looks a lot like him. Riku added.

Well let's get her out.

Ok.

Riku and sora reached in and started pulling arnexia out of the hole while the rest of us built a stretcher for her.

Xena will you take a look at her for any injuries? Sora asked me.

Of course, riku would you hold her head up please? Riku…?

Oh yea, sorry.

Why are you looking at her like that?

She… she just looks a lot like him.

I worked on arnexia for a few hours until the rest of them were finished building the stretcher.

How is she? Sora asked.

Well… she's got a deep gash in her arm with a few bruises and broke two ribs; she also broke the lower part of her right leg.

Right let's get her to the Hallow Bastion healers. Sora said.

Those fools! How dare they deify me!

Xehanort paced back and forth in a chamber room.

They will all be punished, and I will finally have my son under my command again! I swear it!
