I started to get all excited and I jumped for joy and started to dance around with Kairi. Rod and Tremour had to giggle a little. We picked up our stuff and went on our way heading north. Tremour and Smith lead the way and Rod and I followed with Kairi between us and Brady behind. We were all ready to get a move on and we were in a hurry. The island looked so small but once you start to walk around you start to just get the feeling that it was much larger. I turned to Kairi and saw great joy in her face. I had to grin. I put my hands in my pockets and closed my eyes. I could feel the soft wind against me face. My black trench coat and black cloths kept me quite warm. I suddenly felt the island. It's hard to explain it but it didn't mean danger which was a relief for me. It was a soft pulse, like it had a beat and a rhythm, like a heart beat. I looked up to the trees and saw the sun trying to beat through. I had realized that it was much lighter and calmer than when we first got to the island. I started to stretch out and take a breathe of the nice air. It was cleaner and finer than before.
"It feels so nice," I said, trying to start a conversation. Kairi decided to be the first one to reply.
"Yes it is. I wonder if it was because of the heartless that caused the island to be so dark."
"Probably... course I was thinking that it was because of the fact that we were expecting it to be so dark." I replied. "That the island responded to our minds and knowing that could explain that darkness that controlled me back in the ocean." I looked down feeling horrible about the memory. Rod and Tremour looked at me with concern in their faces. I pulled my hood up and put my hands back in my pocket.
"That wasn't your fault though... Darkness can be very dangerous and even the strongest of warriors can get influenced by it." Brady said. He walked faster to catch up with me. "There was nothing you could have done to prevent it. I'm not sure why it targeted you but it had a reason. It could be a combination of what both of you said. The heartless could have created the environment to look like it did and tried to take you of all people." I glanced at him not moving my head and then looked at the ground. I was the weakest of all of them so it would only make sense to take out the most vulnerable. But then again, why didn't they take over Kairi? She had no real power of any kind. I noticed a sharp pain of light in my eyes and saw some thing glowing about five to ten miles away, or at least what seemed like it. The sun was to the left of me so it wasn't that. We all stopped trying to figure out what it was. I brought out my black wings, so it would match me black cloths, and flew above the trees. I looked on to see the most amazing thing ever. Beautiful, unfamiliar, white birds flew past me heading towards a gold tower. It had beautiful architecture that could be seen from miles, about five to ten miles like I said before. My eyes widened to see such a site. I was almost frozen in place. The only thing moving were my wings to keep me in the sky. I made a fist and thrusted it into the sky.
"YEAH! YES!" I started to scream in happiness. I started to do flips and twists in the air with excitement. I did circles and tornadoes (doing circles while inclining and finishing with an awesome pose). There was not a cloud in the sky, no disturbances and no cares. I dived back down to the ground with a huge smile that could never be measured. I hugged Tremour, then Rod, then Kairi and then Brady and Smith. They knew why I was so happy. They knew they were close. So close they could taste it. I started to run towards the tower and everyone ran behind me. We could see it on the hill. Our prayers were going to be answered! Who was the Keyblade Master? Where is he/she? I ran as fast as I possibly could. Our ambitions drove us. We ran with determination. We were heading to the Sacred Temple. Finally, all the pain and suffering of millions would be healed. Everyone had the most beautiful aura to them. We all ran with all our backpacks and materials flopping up and down on our backs. Our cares seemed to have gone away. I picked up speed and started to fly up into the sky again. This time I switched to my white wings. I flew as fast as I could to the top of the tower to wait for the rest of the gang. I didn't see any door or openings to get to the inside, so I assumed that it was a solid temple.
Everyone caught up with me and they were out of breath. I flew down to them. I haven't lost any breathe. They all caught there breathe and they looked at the largest structure they had ever seen. It was maybe a hair smaller than the tallest of the twin towers. They all had to take another breather. I walked up to temple and saw a slight crack in the wall. I dismissed my wings and examined the crack. I started to wonder why Brady didn't and Smith use there wings to fly and catch up with me earlier? Maybe they were too tired. Anyways, Brady walked next to me and looked at the crack in the wall. The crack wasn't jagged or anything. It was a straight line, like it was a crack from a door that wasn't all the way closed. Brady stepped away and studied it from a further distance. He put his hand under his chin and thought a moment. He looked above the crack and noticed some hyrogliphics. They looked like ancient Egyption but it had a Chrystal court essence to it (which in the end was just a combination of different types of hyrogliphics). I knew the text well, it had to be Chrystal Court. I started to translate it in my head and started to memorize it.
I turned around to tell everyone else what it read,"For one true power may be held in the one but can be held by the many." It was short and sweet. It was, however, a smack in the toosh for all Christains.
(OOC: I am Christain and I am not trying to diss any Christain! I love you God!)
"What ever that means." Tremour said.
"I don't personally like it." Rod replied. "The power of one can be very powerful."
"Yeah but maybe it's trying to prove a different point." Brady pointed out.
"Yeah, like a million people might be able to kill one!" Smith said with a smirk. He had to laugh at himself for that. We all just stared at him. Thanks for ruining everything, Smitty. I gave him a nasty look and walked right in front of him. He wiped his eyes and looked at me with a heated red face. I started to get a tear in my I and started to realize that this island was called Fate Island for a reason. The hyrogliphics had just summed up what happened with me and the Hypno Heartless and he was taking it as a joke! I started to make a fist and I started to get red. Smith gave me a bit of a worried look and started to back off alittle. With my not-so-dominant hand, my left, I cracked a big back hand into his jaw. (A back hand would be like a slap with the back of the hand but in a fist form.) I could here the sound of my nuckles cracking a bit of his jaw. The only thing that moved was my arm. My body hardly moved and my eyes didn't leave his. It felt like time had slowed down when I hit him. I felt enraged that he pulled that line off! He fell to the floor and didn't move at first. Everyone stood in shock and hesitated to do anything. Smith stood up and looked at me at first confused but then his eyes eased off and he started to understand.
"Ok. I get it." Smith said, barely. He inched in pain from the my back hand. I stared at him for a while. Kairi hated violence and ran up to me and grabbed my wrist. I stared down at Smith. I was felt something was wrong but couldn't quite put my finger on it. The wrist that Kairi grabbed felt weird. I flash of something went into my mind. My subconcious caught it but I really couldn't tell what it was. I jerked my hand away from hers and stared at her a second. She looked back at me in question.
"What's wrong?" Kairi asked.
"Nothing." I replied to her. I decided to disregard Kiari for the moment and focus on Smith. He looked at me and I could see a bruise starting to form. I crouched next to Smith. I took my right hand and put it on the bruise. Smith flinched and didn't exactly know what to do. A glow came from my hand and he started to feel the bruise go away and his jaw bone started to feel much better. It was fusing together. The bones were starting to heal. I still had a mad face and I wasn't going to forgive him for what he just did. The glowing stopped and I put my hand to my side. Smith felt his jaw and gave a thumbs up to Brady.
"You won't get off so easy next time." I said to Smitty. I offered my hand to help him up nad he excepted. We all looked at each other and didn't know what to expect. Kairi got our attention.
"Guys look!" We all turned to see the crack in the wall of the temple and saw a door slide out.(It was like a sliding door wasn't shut all the way.) It opened wide, enough for two people to walk in at the same time. It was pitch black inside.
"Why did it open?" Rod asked.
"Who cares why?" Tremour replied. "Lets go!" Tremour ran into the temple.
"Wait for us!" Brady yelled to him. We all ran in. I ran in as well, being the last one in line. I knew why it opened. It opened because I had to read aloud the phrase on the temple wall. Normally Rod would be able to catch something like that. Or maybe it was because of something I didn't think of at the time. Maybe it was because I understood my lesson about friends, that I could finally see that sometimes going into a battle or a common mis-hap alone isn't always the best thing to do. But I still had the fear of losing my best of friends. I hated it but there was nothing I could do about it. It was a sad thing, in a way, that people would sacrifice themselves just to save one soul. I started to tear up and almost cry. But when Kairi decided to gasp in amazement of how beautiful and huge the place was inside, I stopped. It was bigger inside than outside. It was like the living room from a mansion. I almost fell backwards. It wasn't dark anymore. There were lit candles and torches hanging on the walls. And at the very end of the room, the farthest from the doorway came a huge statue of a Hindu looking god. We walked up to it in amazement. Suddenly, it's eyes opened and it started to move. It looked down at us as we all gasped. Only a few words came out of it's mouth.
"What is this disruption that you must disturb me from my slumber?" We didn't know what to really expect considering we really didn't know what to expect. Kiari went first.
"Where are my friends Sora and Riku?"
The ground shook and everyone was scared. After the ground stopped shaking a portal appeared. It didn't look like the normal portal that we were used to. It was black. A pure black energy portal. I looked at Kairi and she gave me the weirdest grin. Suddenly, her eyes went black and fangs started to appear. Her hair got messier for no reason and then her nails grew long and sharp. I suddenly realized that Kairi was not real. Kairi was not the Kairi from Kingdom Hearts. She started to charge and make a slash attack. I was partially hestitant but I had to react. I summoned Forbidden and I lunged forward. It suddenly went through the "Kairi" and she gasped in a devils voice. She vanished into dark sparkles and a black heart floated into the roof. The heart went up into the tall dark roof until it couldn't be seen no more.
"So you felt it didn't you? When she grabbed your hand?" The statue said with a grin. I turned to it with mad eyes, mad buring in rage eyes.
"What the hell was this all about?" I said steaming.
"Anyways!" Brady yelled as well.
"What did you feel?" Rod said anxiously. I looked at him with sharp eyes.
"You ever get that feeling when a part of your body looses blood and gets hot and looses feeling? Then it the blood rushes back and you get that cold feeling?! Well that cold feeling is what I felt!" I said angrily. He looked at his hand and tried to imagine it.
"So you are not as dumb as I thought." The Hindu statue said.
"What was that?" Smitty exclaimed.
"A controlled heartless... The Hypno Heartless takes a heartless and disguises it as anyone it desires." Hindy replied.
"So we were fooled from the beginning! Damn!" Tremour explained to himself.
"But why? What was it all for?" I said.
The statue was about ten foot tall or so... and that was when it wasn't standing! It had all knowing ears so there were no hiding anything that was being said. He looked down at us and replied simply, "... To see if you were worthy of being here."
"Now our chance to ask questions guys. Come on!" Smith screamed. I looked at him and I realized I should have kept his jaw broke. We came here for a reason and I was about to get some answers. We were all about to figure out where this person was and how to find him/her. I started to suddenly get excited. My heart started pumpin' and people could finally stop suffering. We could help find this third person and go home to my beautiful bed and play some Nintendo sixty four. Heartless can go away and lives can live. I got full of excitement in my, unbroken, bones. I started to get all squeely like and couldn't hold it in any longer. I ran in front everyone and put my arms out. I looked up at him and I just realized he stood up. I took a humongous breathe and screamed to the heavens, "Who is the Keyblade Master!!???"
The Statue started to grin and amazingly started to laugh. He started to laugh uncontrollably. I started to get upset at this.
"What is so funny!?" I screamed. He looked down at me whiped away a few tears.
"Do you really want to know? Cause from the looks fo it you aren't even worthy of knowing." Hindy replied.
"YES!" I said."Our world as we know it depends on it!"
"Alright then!" He took a deep breathe for relief. "Child, I'll tell you right now that the Keyblade Master is closer that you think... literally."
I got really excited. "REALLY?!" I replied.
"Yes. For you see the Keyblade Master is..." My heart stopped. But not for excitement, but for shock. I started to sink and my heart started to ache. I sweated and felt hot. I think I even wet my pants a little. Cause the next word he said was the last I believed he would say. My mouth went dry and it took a few moments for everyone else to get the concept. For what he said was something that made sence but I still didn't believe. The word echoed in my head as I felt my eyes trying to adjust and my hands start to shake. I couldn't believe the word he just said. The world echoed and it hurt my ears. I could hear it for seemed like eternity. It echoed in my head as I felt like I was in darkness and all there was was that dreadful word.
"You."
The EndWhat a way to end it huh? Please R and R about the characters and be looking for the second book! Thank you all for reading!!!
