Unlocking the Door to Anger
Alan and Nadia soon arrived back in the dark abyss where Aranse was waiting for them. Alan then asked, "So I take the door to Anger has been acting up?" "Oh yes my boy. It's been glowing its red aura the entire time since you two left for Earth. Now the only thing left to do is unlock the Door to Anger itself and hopefully the Viraltroopers' strength will begin to dwindle a little more." Nadia then asked, "What do you think's going to happen when we do unlock all five doors?" Aranse took a few moments to think and then he replied, "I'm not sure Nadia. All the data I gathered only suggested what the doors' purpose was and about the Knights of the Realm. What becomes of the doors when they are unlocked is still a mystery to a being such as myself. The only thing I can say is that each of those doors make up an emotional component of the heart itself and it's not going to disappear like magic. It has to go somewhere." Alan and Nadia both nodded and then quickly made their way inside the Door to Anger.
Yet again, the place inside was small like that of the Door to Love, but instead there was a giant one hundred foot farm like pen that contained a huge black bull. The menacing creature had four horns on its head, with two pointing straight and the other two out to its sideview. Alan noticed below its dark blue eyes just on its nose was a heart shape. Alan then pointed to the nose and said, "There it is. Maybe if we're lucky we can catch an early break and zap him without getting inside the pen." They took out their keyblades as they soon transformed back into their suits, Alan being in his tree bark beige suit with cape and Nadia in her rose dress, and then both at once zapped the bull. Yet it didn't work. Nadia looked at Alan with a frown that said 'You were saying.' even when she didn't have to say it herself and Alan replied, "Then again, sometimes a little muscle effort can't hurt right?" Then Alan and Nadia crazy as it was jumped inside the pen staring face to face with over four hundred lean pounds of anger and massive bone and muscle. The bull then charged and Nadia and Alan jumped over the monster as it crunched the wooden fencing keeping it in. Alan then said, "We really can't keep this up forever." Nadia then asked, "Well, can't you transform like you did before on Earth? You took out that snake pretty good." Alan shook his head as they both jumped again out of harm's way saying, "I wish I could. The sad thing is I don't even know what sparked that kind of power." Nadia then asked, "Then what was the whole speech about Light and true love about then?" Alan then said, "That's it!! I'm thinking about it now..." Then Alan transformed with the extra armour he had from before just as the bull rammed into him, but it got blown back fifteen feet. Alan then said, "Such power...how did I get this?" Nadia then said, "Let's figure this mystery out later. Right now we have a bull to tame." Just as the monster charged, Alan then ran in to finish the beast, but instead got knocked into submission by the extra two horns at its sideview. Nadia then said, "Watch out for the horns!! Maybe try sliding underneath the bull and then jump on its back!!" Alan then said trying to get up, "It's worth a shot, besides what do I got to lose aside from a clean pair of clothes." Then Alan raced underneath the bull and knocked itself into the same wooden fencing again, but narrowly missing Nadia's chest by a couple of inches.
Alan then jumped on the beast's back and as Nadia climbed out, Alan rode the bull just like a cowboy did to reel it in and calm it right down. The bull kept trying to buck the boy four times and flicked its behind up five to ten times as Alan then yelled, "Yeehawww!! This is awesome!!" Nadia then shouted to the top of her lungs, "Zap its nose!! This is no time for games." Alan then got back to his mission and then holding the keyblade at its handle with both of his hands, he brought it down on the bull's nose and a giant heart appeared from it just as the bull dissolved away. Then together, Alan and Nadia pointed their keyblades to the massive heart in the sky and zapped it. It was unlocked and as it disappeared the pen began to shake as Nadia yelled, "Let's get out of here!!" The youthful adults then ran for their lives and jumped through the door just as it sharply closed behind them. One second later almost spelled their demise. The Door to Anger then closed. In place of the Door to Anger, the same round parts of the 'heart' they saw before with the Door to Love getting unlocked seemed to get larger to include about an extra sixth of the heart thus making it seem like it was growing bigger. Then it disappeared once more fading in and out as it did. Nadia then said, "Well that was something else." Alan then asked, "What do you think it means?" Aranse, having noticed this for the first time then said, "It all makes sense now. The doors having being unlocked have no where else to store all the emotions they carry. Since each door is of a particular component of the heart, each door you unlock is sending the emotions outside and they are slowly forming into one giant heart." Alan and Nadia's jaws dropped as Alan asked, "Woah woah woah, back up. Are you saying that we're just creating an even bigger heart? What if it does the same thing as the Doors to the Heart are doing now? What if we're just making an even bigger mess of things?" Nadia then replied, "I have to agree with Alan on this one. We could just be making things worse." Aranse then said, "Silence!!" Aranse then cleared his throat and said, "I apologize, but you weren't giving me a chance to speak. Now then, I highly doubt you two are making things worse."
"That heart I saw just now with you two does not have a trace of the Viraltroopers virus inside it at all. That's because it's not of Obeion's creations. It's your creation. Thus because both of you are pure at heart and are wielding the keyblades, you have the power to save us all. This new heart I believe has enough power to seal out any of the emotions from the Doors to the Heart from ever escaping again. If you two can keep your light burning strong, the heart will survive and the virus will disappear!!" Nadia then said, "Survive? You mean its still vulnerable?" Aranse replied, "Yes. Although it looks like its becoming complete, it still is vulnerable to attack. The Knights of the Realm must never find out about the Doors to the Heart and their location." Alan then said, "They don't know where they are?" "They still think their back on my world from where they were banished along with Obeion. They have no idea that I moved them here to this dark abyss where they now reside in smaller numbers." Then Alan saw that his watch was glowing again and said, "I guess we ought to get going." Aranse then said, "Take heart my young warriors. Be strong, be brave." Alan then nodded as he said to Nadia, "Let's go!!" Nadia then pressed the yellow button and moments afterward Aranse then said, "Soon the time will come. When I will have my body back, that monster will pay for his treachery."
(Looks like Aranse has some alterior motives. That will be expanded on as I progress through this story. As we have read, this new heart is obviously growing bigger with each door unlocked. The significance will be revealed like many other things like the Knights of the Realms' new plans to attack Alan and Nadia, etc. More to come this week, so stay tuned.)
