Scibles and Critical were flying through the Lanes Between, rushing to see Scibles' homeworld. As the two go there they arrived at a wasteland, small chunks of land floating about. In the rubble the saw a woman floating in the Lanes Between, unconscious.

Critical: "We need to take this woman to Yen Sid, she has been in the darkness for a while it seems."

Scibles: "Okay."

They flew to Yen Sid's Tower in hopes to help this person.

Critical: "Master Yen Sid, we need your help!"

Yen Sid: "What is it, Master Shiokawa?"

Scibles: "Master?! Critical, YOU'RE a Keyblade Master?!"

Critical: "Yes. Now is no time for that though. This lady was drifting in the Lanes Between with no Keyblade Armor or protection, holding this staff."

Critical put the staff on the table, and it started glowing with a bright light, as that happened the girl jolted awake.

The Girl: "NO!.. Huh? Where am I?"

Critical: "We found you drifting in the Lanes Between, Are you ok-"

Before Critical could finish his sentence, the girl jumped up and hugged Scibles.

The Girl: "Where were you?! I looked everywhere for you!"

Scibles: "Uh, I don't think I know you. Could you be from my homeworld?"

The girl sat down in shock, tears running down her face.

The Girl: "Y-You don't remember me? It's me! Akain!"

Scibles was clueless to who this was, and felt bad.

Scibles: "I'm sorry... That I don't remember you. Maybe if you reminded me, I'll remember."

Akain: "O-oh, well, M-my name is Akain, you used to call me Akai, and we were best friends. When the darkness had spread, I lost you."

Scibles felt terrible, he had no memory of this girl, but the fact that they were best friends made him feel terrible not to remember.

Critical: "Uh, excuse me, but I have a question, how did you get there? Y'know, the Lanes?"

Akain: "I used this."

Akain handed Critical the Star Shard.

Yen Sid:"That is the Star Shard, It lets someone travel between worlds."

Critical handed it back.

Scibles: "Oh yeah, back to before. Why didn't you tell me, that you're a Keyblade Master?!"

Critical: "I could not trust anyone with this information, I did not want anyone to get hurt because of it."

Scibles: "Why couldn't you tell me AFTER you trusted me?! There is so much happening! I can't handle this!"

Scibles stormed out of the room in pure anger. As he was chased outside by Critical and Akain, he equipped his Keyblade Armor and fled the scene. By the time Critical got outside it was much too late.

Critical: "Well this may be a problem."

Critical sighed as he told Yen Sid the problem.

Yen Sid: "Shiokawa, I haven't seen a man spread into darkness that fast in my life. If you find him, he may be overtaken by the darkness. I ask you this, if he brings you or others harm, would you stop him."

Critical: "We may have become friends, but if he tries to hurt anyone, I WILL stop him. No matter the costs."

Yen Sid: "I've done well to name you a Keyblade Master. Take Akain with you, she know various spells, to there fullest."

Akain: "What If I don't want to?"

Yen Sid: "I am not saying you have to, but if you hope to see your friend again, I would go. Don't worry, Shiokawa is a full-fledged Keyblade Master, I am sure you two will be fine."

And so they went, to go find Scibles, and to face him, possibly for the last time. You must see what befalls them, in the coming chapters.
