Chapter 5:
"So uh. What do you mean?" I asked.
" What she means is that you have to stop those heartless from taking over the universe!" Yuffie finally came in and gave me my lemonade. I didn't ask for lemonade. How did she know that's what I wanted?..
"Not exactly Yuffie. We aren't quite sure that's what the heartless want." She said eyeing Yuffie, who was eyeing me.
"What are heartless?" I asked after sipping some of my drink. Which was really good. I was kind of surprised.
"Those creatures you saw. They are called heartless because whenever a heart is weak, or on the verge of breaking down. One turns into a heartless." Aerith said sadly.
" They were human once! But then, BAM! A heartless comes and steals the human's heart and turns it into a heartless too! Heartless are attracted to depression, sadness, and heartbreak. And also. They are attracted to you. But mostly the key blade master." Yuffie said matter of fact like.
"So. What I am supposed to do is.. Destroy the heartless? But wouldn't it be like killing another human?.." I asked slightly horrified.
"Well. I suppose so yes. But when one is turned into a heartless they are practically gone.. And someone very powerful is controlling these heartless to make the worlds disappear.. Its so awful to see." Aerith said.
"WHAT? MAKE THE WORLDS…D-DISAPPEAR? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT SOONER!" I said outraged and terrified.
"Calm down Izzy. The person. Or people controlling the heartless, are making them take people's hearts to take over the world they are assigned to. You or the Keyblade master are the only one's who can stop this.." Aerith said doubtfully.
"Aerith, it would be soo cool if the FlameBlade and the KeyBlade master's like, teamed up!" Yuffie beamed.
"Whose this KeyBlade master?" I said curiously.
"We do not know yet. We are hoping he comes to us very soon.." Aerith said.
"Wait a second.. My friend Sora had a key, and he used it as a weapon!. He might be the KeyBlade's master! Awesome!" I said relieved I wasn't alone on this quest.
"Do you know where this 'Sora' is?" Asked Aerith.
"Well the last time I saw him…He.. Was getting attacked by a giant heartless!" I said remembering what had happened.
"Goodness!… He survived it. I know he did. No KeyBlade wielder died from fighting those creatures." She said.
"Good. So. It looks like I'm going to have to search for him, my other friends, and destroy heartless…Ugh. Sounds like a whole bunch of responsibility." I said sighing at the fact the whole universe was counting on me and Sora to save it.. Gosh..
