"Now it is time to speak of the enemies that you will encounter." He said as soon as Sora was gone.
Yen Sid waved a hand and an image of a girl appears near the wall. This image
then changed to a Shadow Heartless
"If one person yields to the darkness in their heart, they will become a Heartless. But you know this. The Heartless are always lurking and ever seeking to capture new hearts. Never let your guard down! Now then..."
Yen Sid waved his hand again and an image of a Dusk Nobody appears next to the
Shadow
"At times, if someone with a strong heart and will-be they evil or
good-becomes a Heartless, the empty shell they leave behind begins to act
with a will of its own."
"An empty vessel whose heart has been stolen away... A spirit that goes
on even as its body fades from existence-for you see, Nobodies do not truly
exist at all. Nobodies may seem to have feelings, but this is a ruse-they
only pretend to have hearts. It is your job to help them get their hearts, via Kingdom Hearts."
Two more images of Dusks appear around me.
"Now then...the being you see before you is known as a Dusk. They are
the most common form of Nobody. But there are others-some larger, some with
frightening and unique powers. On your journey, you will meet a
number of Dusks. They will not attempt to do you harm."
The images then vanished.
"Still, they are nothing but empty shells, destined to return to the
darkness. But-"
The wizard waves his hand again and images of figures in black appear in the
Dusks' place. I looked at them with confusion.
"The beings you see before you now are different. These powerful
Nobodies have formed a group called Organization XIII. It commands the lesser
Nobodies. They are your primary objective.
"While Heartless act on instinct, Nobodies function in a higher manner.
They can think and plan. And it seems they are working towards a goal. That goal, is to get their hearts back. Should you fail this objective, all of the worlds will close down into darkness. Once the members of Organization XIII get their hearts, they will become Guardians of the Light, as you are now, and will protect the worlds of their choice." I nodded at Master Yen Sid.
He again waved his hands, and a new image appeared. They looked like Organization XIII, but had a more dark aura around them. "They are Order of Chaos. They are the Heartless of Organization XIII. They will do anything to stop you from completing your objective, be careful around them."
"Does this mean I will be separated from Sora?" I asked quietly. The Wizard nodded. "But, you will be able to see each other every now and again. Do not worry, your brother knows of your mission." I nodded once again, and turned to Sora as he walked out of the room. We walk back into the hallway, where Yen Sid motions us over to the
window. The Gummi ship rises into view
"Hey! It's the Gummi Ship!" Donald said happily.
"So you guys ready to go?" I said.
They nod, then stand up straight in the wizard's presence
"Now, now, just a moment." The Wizard said. Our forms slump just a little.
"Because of your previous endeavors, the worlds have returned to their original states. That means the pathways between them have disappeared."
"How do we get around?" Donald asked.
"Do not fear. If what the King suspected proves true, the worlds have
prepared new pathways along which you may travel. These pathways may be
utilized by unlocking special gates. How these gates are opened, I'm afraid I
do not know... However, the Keyblades will serve as your guide. When a beam of
light radiates from the Keyblade, return to the Gummi Ship. Though the worlds
may seem far apart and out of reach, they nonetheless remain connected by
invisible ties. As do our hearts."
"Our hearts are connected." Sora echoed.
"That is correct." Yen Sid said, smiling slightly.
"Got it!" I said smiling.
"But be warned. As you proceed... The Heartless and the Order of Chaos will
be using their own paths: Corridors of darkness, to travel from world to world.
They may be attempting to link these dark pathways to the gates between the
worlds." Yen Sid said.
"Hey! That's not fair!" Donald cried out.
"Now then, that is all the information I can give to you. Go forth,
Sora, Annalise, Donald, and Goofy. Everyone is waiting."
"Okay, let's get going!" I said happily.
We stand up straight again
"Master Yen Sid!" Donald said.
"We sure do appreciate the help." Goofy said.
We each give the wizard a salute and then ran down the corridor.
