Chapter 2: Help

Terra stepped onto the sandy beach of Destiny Islands and looked around. 'Nothing has changed the tranquil feeling of this place', He thought. The only change on the island since Terra had been there last was the Pao Pu tree, which had grown at least a foot or two over the years.

Terra stood in awe, until a familiar voice broke through. Terra looked around and saw a young man with long silver hair gripping a Keyblade tightly, prepared to attack."Who are you?" The teen asked.

Terra summoned his bulky Keyblade; Earth Shaker."Riku? You've grown a lot over the years," Terra said.

Riku got into a fighting stance."Who are you?" He asked again.

Terra sighed."I doubt you'd remember me, where is Sora?"

Riku grunted."Wouldn't you like to know? First, you get through me."

Terra's armor clanked as he stepped closer to Riku."I don't want to fight, I need help."

Riku smiled."What with?"

"A friend of mine is lost in the Realm of Darkness, I want to help her get out. Please, don't you remember Aqua?"

"Who?"

"It would take too long to explain, where is Sora?" Terra demanded.

"And I said you'd have to get through me! Tell me why I should let your friend out of darkness?"

If Terra had blood, it would probably be boiling right now, Aqua had always said he was impatient and Riku was really beginning to irritate Terra.

"Listen to me Riku, Aqua has spent many years in darkness. A Keyblade Master like her doesn't belong there! I should know, I've been in the Realm of Darkness for about the same amount of time fighting a battle I feel like I still have not won."

"Your friend...is a...Keyblade Master?" Riku asked.

"Yes, please help."

"...All right, come on, Sora isn't here right now but I may be able to point you to someone who can help, if he can't."

They entered the shack on the beach, the only house on the island.

Riku looked around."Where did Sora put it?" He mumbled to himself.

"Put what?" Terra asked.

"A copy of Jiminy Crikets's journal, he made a copy so he could look back, don't understand why, but Jiminy kept track of all the people we met. Here it is!" Riku pulled a book from a pile of books on a self and turned to a page.

Terra looked over RIku's shoulder to see what he was looking for."...Cloud? Riku asked out loud."No...how about-

"Found someone!" Terra said, pointing at a name, Riku shook his head.

"You can't be serious."

"Well what about him?" Terra pointed at a name he thought was strange and jumbled up.

"Xemnas? He's dead and tried to kill us, no I don't think you should ask him if he were still alive."

Terra sighed."Fine, will this take forever? I want to get Aqua out of there!"

Riku closed the book."I'm not going to help you, if you're going to be impatient!"

"Why can't you help me?"

"Because, I've got to wait for Mickey."

Terra shifted his feet."You know King Mickey?"

Riku shrugged."That a surprise?"

"Only because I used to know him."

"Really, then why don't you wait here and maybe he can help you look."

"Maybe..."

"In the mean time, let's keep looking."

Terra nodded.

They spent the next couple of hours looking through the copy of Jiminy's Journal, trying to found a person or a world that would help Terra find a way to help Aqua. They were flipping through pages of pictures Jiminy had sketched of people they met and a man caught Terra's eye.

"Turn back to Xemnas," Terra asked.

Riku flipped the page showing Xemnas.

"Does he look familiar or something?" Riku asked.

"...Yes but I can't be sure..." Terra said.

Riku shrugged and turned to the page they were on."I think you should at least know him," Riku pointed.

Terra nodded."The Lingering Sentiment...or me."

"You fought Sora?"

"Tested him, anyway, let's keep going."

"Hold on, you hear that?"

Terra froze, all he heard was the wind blowing into the shack.

"That is not ordinary wind, come on," Riku said.

Terra followed.

Outside, the saw a Gummi Ship with the King's emblem on the bottom of it as it landed.

"He's here," Riku said

Mickey stepped out of the cockpit."Hi Riku, how've ya been?" The King asked.

Riku nodded."Hey Mickey, how's it going?"

Then, Mickey noticed Terra and his eyes widened.

"Terra?" Mickey asked.

Terra nodded."I...need your help...Aqua needs your help."

"You all just kinda disappeared after Xehanort disappeared I thought you were all...you know."

Terra shook his head."I am without a body, but I didn't die, no need to worry, Ventus disappeared too?"

"Yeah."

"Well, can you help me find a way to help Aqua and Ven?"

"Where is Aqua? Do you know?"

"In the Realm of Darkness," Riku said.

Mickey frowned."So that's why I could never find her, so you were in Darkness as well?"

"Yes, but I don't know about Ven."

Mickey nodded."How about both of us help you look for Aqua and Ven? Is that all right Riku?"

"Fine with me Mickey, Sora is off to find the people you mentioned in your letter, it couldn't help to look as well, I'll go tell Kairi and we'll go."

Terra nodded."We'll leave in the morning, see you until then."

So, after so much time has gone past, Chapter 2 is done.

I'll try and get Chapter 3 up as soon as possible.

Schutzengal Erde is German for something that will go with the story later on, it doesn't really make sense in English but I think it's a good title in German.

Please review and enjoy the rest of the story
