Chapter 3: Dwarf Woodlands
-Location: Lanes Between-
After he went through the portal,Neosha found himself in the Lanes Between. "Now where to look for Vanitas first."said Neosha as he flew through the Lanes Between. He then saw a world with a cottage,and woods. "Well there is as good a place as any to start."said Neosha as he flew towards that world.
-Dwarf Woodlands-
When Neosha landed his Keyblade Glider disappeared as well as his armor. He looked around to find that he was in a dark forest. 'This place reeks of darkness. Just the place Vanitas would be.'thought Neosha as he walked through the forest. He then came to a clearing,and found a cozy little cottage. 'Whoever lives here must prefer peace,and quiet. Can't say I blame them.'thought Neosha as he smiled. He then noticed a gold coffin with a glass top,and decided to investigate. When he got close he saw a young woman with black hair,rosey red lips,and wore a dress that consisted of a blue blouse,a gold skirt that reached to her feet,and white shoes. Neosha's face took on a sadden look as he looked at the young woman laying in the coffin. 'This woman is so young. I feel sorry for whoever cared for her. No one should have to lose someone they care about.'thought Neosha as he continued to stare at the young woman. "HEY YOU! GET AWAY FROM HER!"shouted a voice causing Neosha to spin around,and look down to see seven small men glaring up at him. 'Are they...dwarfs?'thought Neosha. "Who are you?"asked one of the dwarfs. "Sorry. I'm Neosha,and I didn't mean to cause any harm. It's just...whose the girl in that coffin?"said Neosha. "*Yawn*I'm Sleepy,and these are Grumpy,Doc,Happy,Bashful,Sneezy,and Dopey. That is Snow White,a girl whose been very kind to us,and has took care of us for awhile now,but *Yawn*one day when we went to mine diamonds we can back,and found her collapsed on the ground*Yawn*."explained one of the dwarfs. "What happened?"asked Neosha. "She had been boisoned-I mean poisoned by the Evil Queen who didn't like the fact that Snow White was the fairest in all the land."said Doc as he adjusted his glasses. "Just because she wasn't the fairest in the land didn't give her the right to do this to Snow White. Where is the Evil Queen? I'll make her wake Snow White."said Neosha with a look of determination. "Y-You would d-do that?"asked Bashful. "Of course!"said Neosha as he gave the seven dwarfs a big grin. They all smiled,even Grumpy! "Go through the dark forest,past the meadow,and you'll be at the Evil Queen's castle."said Grumpy. "Thanks. I promise I'll find a way to wake Snow White!"said Neosha as he ran back into the dark forest.
-Dark Forest-
Neosha was running through the dark forest when he saw Unversed (Flood) surrounding someone. As he looked closer he saw that the person was Aqua. "Aqua!"said Neosha as he summoned his Keyblade,and ran to his friend's aid. He cut down the whole swarm in a single slash which left Aqua not only surprised that she ran into her friend,but that he defeated an entire swarm of Unversed with a single swing of his Keyblade. "Are you okay,Aqua?"asked Neosha as his Keyblade disappeared. "Yeah I'm fine."said Aqua. "What are you doing here,Aqua?"asked Neosha. "Looking for Ven. He ran away from home when he heard Terra,and I were given a mission."said Aqua. "Ven ran away?! And what mission?"asked Neosha. "The Master gave Terra,and I the task of taking down the Unversed,and locating Master Xehanort whose gone missing."explained Aqua. "Master Xehanort's gone missing?! But I talked to him before I left."said Neosha. That caught Aqua's attention. "What did he talk to you about?"asked Aqua. "That...doesn't matter."said Neosha. "It does matter because it might have to do with why you left."said Aqua. "Look you have your mission,and I have my own. I'll tell Ven to go back home if I see him."said Neosha as he turned to leave. Aqua,however,quickly grabbed Neosha's arm. "Neosha please,tell me what's going on with you."Aqua pleaded. Neosha turned his head slightly so he could see Aqua out the corner of his eye. "I'm trying to-."started Neosha. "What is it your trying to do,Neosha?"a voice interrupted causing Neosha,and Aqua to turn,and see the masked boy. "Aqua run."said Neosha as he glared at the masked boy. "What?"asked Aqua. "RUN!"shouted Neosha. Aqua stayed for another second before,relunctantly,listening to Neosha,and heading to the Evil Queens castle. "You seem pretty protective of her."said the masked boy. "I'll protect all my friends,Vanitas."said Neosha as he summoned his Keyblade. Vanitas was shocked (even though you can't tell because of the mask) for a second before he just chuckled. "Do you honestly think you defeat me?"asked Vanitas. "I don't know,but we won't know until I try."said Neosha as he took his battle stance. Suddenly,to Neosha's surprise,Vanitas held out his right hand,and a Keyblade appeared (Void Gear). "Good. Let's see what your made of."said Vanitas as he took his battle stance.
The two Keyblade wielders ran at each other,and crossed Keyblades causing sparks to fly as they continued to collide Keyblades. Neosha then jumped back before pointing his Keyblade at Vanitas. "Triple Firaga!"shouted Neosha as he launched three fire balls at Vanitas,but said Keyblade wielder vanished before the attack could hit. Neosha then looked up,and saw Vanitas coming down at him with his Keyblade ready to strike,but just as Vanitas was about to hit,Neosha held up his Keyblade,and blocked the attack before jumping back. "See ya."said Vanitas as he landed on his feet,and launched a fire ball that burst into four smaller fire balls. Neosha cut through each of the fire balls,and saw Vanitas disappear into the ground. Neosha looked around for Vanitas before noticing a small pool of darkness under his feet. Neosha's eyes went wide as he realized that Vanitas had activated his own Shotlock,and quickly jumped back just seconds before Vanitas burst from the ground,and fire balls came raining down. 'He's pretty good. He's not a Keyblade Master,but yet he's keeping up with me like it's nothing.'thought Neosha as he tried to catch his breath. "Once I'm done with you I'll be sure to take care of your friends,too"said Vanitas as he walked toward Neosha. Neosha's eyes went wide as images of his friends being struck down played in his mind. A dark aura surrounded Neosha as he gritted his teeth. "NOOO!"screamed Neosha out of pure rage as he pointed his Keyblade at Vanitas,whom had stopped in his tracks,and an orb of pure darkness gathered at the tip of his Keyblade before a dark beam of energy fired,piercing Vanitas where he stood.
Vanitas collapsed on the ground as the dark aura surrounding Neosha disappeared. Neosha's Keyblade disappeared as the Keyblade Master walked toward Vanitas's unmoving form. "HAHAHAHA!"laughed Vanitas causing Neosha to jump back as he jumped to his feet. Vanitas looked toward a surprised Neosha. "Guess he chose the right one for his vessel."said Vanitas as a dark corridor appeared behind him,and he backed into it as it disappeared. 'What did he mean by "Vessel"? Aqua went to the Evil Queens castle so I'll let her handle waking Snow White up.'thought Neosha as he donned his Keyblade armor,transformed his Keyblade into his Keyblade Glider,and flew through a portal.
-Lanes Between-
Neosha was flying through the Lanes Between. "Neosha,come to the Badlands. It's important."said Master Xehanort's voice before it disappeared. 'I better head there quick.'thought Neosha as he sped toward the Badlands.
-Badlands-
Neosha landed in the Badlands,and after his Keyblade armor disappeared,and his Keyblade Glider as well,he found Master Xehanort waiting for him. "What is it you needed me for,Master Xehanort,sir?"asked Neosha. "It is about Vanitas."said Master Xehanort. Neosha's face went dark. "What about him?"asked Neosha. "It is my fault that Vanitas came into being."said Master Xehanort. "What do you mean?"asked Neosha. "You,and Ventus were originally my pupils,but during a training session there was an accident,and Ventus fell victim to the darkness in his heart. You tried to stop him,and bring him back to his senses,but you were knocked unconscious. I was left with no choice,but to extract the darkness from Ventus's heart which became Vanitas,but the process affected you as well,and Vanitas tried swallowing your heart. I managed to contain him,but not before he managed to fracture not only Ventus's heart,but your heart as of what I had done to you both,I left you,and Ventus in Eraqus's care,and continued to keep Vanitas contained until now."explained Master Xehanort with a sad expression. Neosha was shocked,but also happy that Master Xehanort cared about him,and Ventus enough to try,and fix his mistake. "Don't worry,I'll find Vanitas,and stop him once,and for all."said Neosha. Master Xehanort smiled at his former pupil. "Vanitas is drawn to light so head to the city of light,and you should find him there."said Master Xehanort. "Right."said Neosha before he donned his Keyblade armor,transformed his Keyblade into his Keyblade Glider,and flew through a portal. "It's almost time."said Master Xehanort as he smiled an evil smile,and disappeared via a dark corridor.
