Unlikely Enemies

Ok, so I guess the appearance of the Shadow Crosser they first encountered with wasn't too pretty. I know, I know. I'll try and think up of the appearances of more Shadow Crossers. But, I should warn you, they do bring friends. And not just other Shadow Crossers. We'll see if Rapunzel has the guts to fight one off or not. Please, rate and review!

P.S. Oh shoot! I forgot that the gang was supposed to visit Yen Sid! DAMN IT! Well, I guess, that I might as well put in that someone gets injured at the keyhole and they have to go to Yen Sid. *Sigh* Darn my brain and me!

The Shadow Crosser was not alone. Out of the blue, a Heartless and Nobody appeared by its side, chained to the Shadow Crosser. An eerie purple light surrounded the group and dripped onto the floor.

"What are those things?" Rapunzel ran behind Flynn, holding her pan out.

"Don't worry. We'll take care of them, just don't get near them!" Mickey had already taken a step closer to the Shadow Crosser. Sora, Riku, and Kailee had summoned their keyblades, waiting for Mickey's signal.

"Now!" Mickey had jumped towards the Shadow Crosser, as did Riku, Kailee, and Sora. Donald and Goofy stayed behind to watch over Rapunzel and Flynn. Mickey had already disposed of the Heartless and Nobody and was busy attacking the Shadow Crosser. A new batch of Heartless and Nobodies were rounding up behind it as well. Riku and Sora were trying to defeat them all, each keyblade releasing a heart from its imprisonment. Mickey had tried again and again to kill the Shadow Crosser, but his keyblade just went through it.

The Shadow Crosser marveled at how many times Mickey tried to kill it. A black tendril crawled out of its wing and swatted at Mickey. Mickey flew across to land right by Donald and Goofy, unconscious. Kailee watched, from a crack in the rock. At first she had been thrilled to finally be able to fight those things that had threatened to steal her heart. But, then again, she wasn't so sure. Kailee couldn't anymore because she was afraid that one of those Heartless contained one of her loved ones. She meant to try and stop Riku, Mickey, and Sora but she couldn't find the words.

Kailee emerged from the crack in the rock once she saw what that thing had done to Mickey. The Shadow Crosser had somehow turned towards to her after she had summoned her keyblade. Her grip tightened more once she got closer. Many more black tendrils escaped from its body and went for the keyblade. Smoke emanated from the tendrils once it came in contact with the keyblade. The Shadow Crosser growled a deep, guttural noise that chilled Kailee. She briefly closed her eyes and ran head on at the thing.

The keyblade sliced through both of the heads at once. A carbon type of smoke was released from the Shadow Crosser as with a high-pitched screaming. The shadow of a person had replaced the Shadow Crosser. The shadow walked up to Kailee and seeped into the floor under her. Her keyblade was giving off a strange orange light and Kailee heard a strange voice in her head.

It has been bound.

What has been bound?

The Black Wave has saved its first victim. That once was hurt, can now be restored.

Kailee felt a slight shiver run up through her body. She turned towards Riku and Sora, who had defeated all Heartless and Nobodies, to see that their keyblades were shining orange as well. Although, they were hearing the same voice, it said different things to them.

Everything is in place.

What is?

The Black Wave has found the two chosen keyblade wielders. Only one though, can make the final connection.

Sora stared on at Kailee and saw the shiver run up her body. What connection? With Kailee? And what did it mean by one? Did that mean that he and Riku were supposed to fight over her?

Worlds are drowning in darkness.

Which worlds?

But don't be afraid. The Black Wave has come to save us all. The Way To The Dawn and the Keyblade have been rematerialized to save the worlds.

Riku pondered over this. Did it mean that they weren't needed anymore? That Kailee, if her keyblade was called Black Wave, was the only one to save the worlds? Did she even want to travel with them anymore?

"King Mickey!" Donald and Goofy yelled in unison. Riku, Sora, and Kailee regained from their stupor and ran over to the King. As they turned him over, a hooded figure, watched from the sidelines, hidden well by the darkness. Another, hunched over, appeared by it.

"Is she ready?" the hunched over figure gestured to Kailee.

"No. But she soon will be, once we dispose of Riku and King Mickey. Then nothing will stop the merge," the hooded figure looked on.

"Yes. We must be prepared for anything by then. Have you conjured up more Shadow Crossers?" the hunchbacked one said.

"They have covered most of the Kingdom of Corona. The only place they can't reach is the palace. I highly doubt that they will make it past the stronger Shadow Crossers," the hooded one chuckled. "Especially, with the weight of the thief and the blonde one."

They both exited through a portal, but not before dropping something that would lead Kailee closer to the truth.

Holy crap! No! King Mickey is down! I'm sorry! I had to hurt someone in the story and it had to be King Mickey. Sorry, again. Like the story says, only Kailee can kill Shadow Crossers. But, if I must say, King Mickey will be the one is carried back to Yen Sid. He will recover quickly, though! Don't worry! And what's this mysterious merge that those two were talking about back there? And, then again, who were those two people? If you think you know, then leave a review and rate it!
