Chapter 22.
"My legs are killing me," thought Sora.
"I know how you feel," said Roxas.
"How much further?" asked riku.
"We're here," said Ven.
Riku and Sora looked up to see a pathway up the side of the canyon. Sadly, it was very steep. Ven spun around when he heard a noise. Hundreds of amored heartless were coming up out of the ground and towards them. Sora and riku both turned around.
"Run!" cried Ven as he ran towards the path.
Sora and riku ran after Ven. Sora jumped up into the air as they ran and flipped so he was facing the heartless in the air.
"Fire!" yelled Sora.
A ball of fire shot out of the tip of his Keyblade and flew right into the mass of heartless and exploded. The heartless exploded, but there were still many more heartless coming. Sora flipped forward in the air and started to run again.
"Nice one Sora," said Riku as he ran next to him.
Sora smiled and nodded.
When they reached the path, Ven was already half-way up. Sora and Riku ran up the path. When they reached the top of the path they all fell over panting.
"We have got to get back to my home," panted Ven, "I have a faster way to get there than running... but it will use a lot of my power.
Then Ven looked towards the desert and saw the wind start to pick up.
"No other way then," said Ven.
"Sora, Riku, get close to me!" said Ven.
"What…are…you …going to do?" panted Riku.
Riku and Sora crawled up next to him. Then all three of them stood up next to each other. Ven summoned his Keyblade, Then swung it around and jabbed it into the ground. He fell to the ground leaning on one knee. Light started to swirl around them. Beams of light shot out of the ground and surrounded Ven, Sora and Riku.
"Haaaahhhh!" cried Ven.
All three of them disappeared in a swirl of light. They reappeared in a large hallway.
"Ughhh," moaned Ven as he was about to fall over.
Riku and Sora grabbed his arms and helped him stay on his feet.
"Thanks," said Ven.
"Wow, this place is Huge!" said Sora in awe.
"I can stand now. Thanks," said Ven as he let go of Sora and Riku.
Ven! I'm so happy you're Safe!" cried a voice that sounded like it was getting closer and closer.
Ven looked up and saw a blue haired girl running towards him.
"Aqua!" said Ven happily as he ran towards her.
When they reached eachother they hugged.
"I can just see now," said Riku smirking.
"What?" asked Sora looking at him.
"Sora! I'm so glad you're safe," said Riku in as girly a voice as he could muster. "Oh, Kairi, he said trying to sound like Sora.
Sora nudged Riku.
"Ok... Ok..." said Riku still smiling, "I won't tease you about your girlfriend."
"Thanks I- wait Riku, she's not my Girlfriend!" cried sora.
Riku laughed and shook his head
