Don't own Kingdom Hearts
Chapter 5: Training
Terra stood on the sandy beaches of Destiny Islands with Riku. Mickey left for the moment, heading back to his castle but he didn't give Riku or Terra an explanation. Only that it was important but they shouldn't worry.
"Okay Terra, let's get started," Riku said.
Terra nodded and waited for Riku to begin the lesson."Well, we both obviously know how to fall into darkness...but controlling your darkness is a little complicated..." Riku said, trying to think of a way to explain it.
Terra nodded."When I fell into darkness, I was angry, and confused."
"Same here...try using your darkness, but not with anger or fear but anything that darkness can't use against you."
If Terra could frown, he would."Riku, make a little more sense please."
Riku laughed."Anger, hate, fear, revenge...all those feelings are things that darkness feeds on and will eventually consume your heart because of those feelings. Happiness, love, faith...those feelings are things darkness rejects. If a person relies on anger and hatred to use the darkness, they would probably end up a slave to the darkness as a Heartless and Nobody. People who rely happiness and love, darkness would not come and it rejects the person, but if you find an emotion in the middle, and use it, then you will be able to control the darkness. Make sense now?"
Terra nodded, still confused but didn't want another explanation."What if, a person needs to control the darkness, but happiness, love and faith are in the way? I will not reject those feelings...not again."
"Then when using the darkness, let your middle emotion cloak your heart and remember the determination to save your friends guide you through the darkness. I rejected darkness once before, once I had excepted it, I became stronger, as long as I did not forget about my friends. Sora and Kairi were the light that guided me through the darkness, Aqua and Ventus can be yours."
"Now your making more sense."
Riku laughed."Try it, see if it works."
Terra nodded and concentrated, letting the darkness flow around him, but keeping in mind his friends, and tried to feel a middle emotion, something that would keep him close to the light, but would keep him close to the darkness as well. He couldn't think of an emotion, so he mixed his feelings of Aqua and Ven, and tried to bring up his feelings towards Vanitas and Xehanort. It felt to Terra as if Ven and Aqua were standing in front of him and Vanitas and Xehanort behind him.
'I'll help you soon,' He thought. He almost could feel Aqua smile. With his emotions mixed together Terra tried to summon a portal.
Darkness swirled in front of him and the portal slowly inched into existence.
"Come on," Terra whispered.
Riku watched as Terra created a portal.
"I did it!" Terra said in disbelief.
"Good job," Riku cheered."But, where does it go?"
Terra shrugged."You never told me how to do that part yet."
"Well close it up before some giant Heartless comes out."
Terra sealed the portal.
"This time, try and think of the place you want to go."
Terra nodded and focused on the dark beach where he saw Aqua.'Soon, Aqua.' He thought.
The portal appeared yet again and Terra began to step through.
"Good luck Terra," Riku said.
"Thank you Riku, thanks for everything. Tell the King too."
"I will, go help Aqua."
Terra nodded and he stepped through the portal.
It was dark for a second, as he stepped through, he could not see. When his vision adjusted to the dim light, he realised that he had successfully made a portal to the dark beach where he met Aqua.
"Aqua!" He called out. No answer.
He walked the shoreline until the seemingly endless beach came to an end and he went the other way, calling out for Aqua."Aqua?" He called out again.
"Terra?" He heard faintly.
"Aqua?"
He saw something along the beach, Aqua was laying down on the beach, Terra ran over.
"Aqua are you okay?" He asked.
"The spell...took a lot out of me, I'm just tired," Aqua answered.
"Then you shouldn't have done it."
"But then you would not be here right now," Aqua smiled.
Terra helped her up, only to have her collapse from exhaustion.
"Just give me a couple minutes and I can do the spell again," Aqua said drowsily.
Terra picked her up bridal style."I'm not going to have you pass out on me, not before we save Ven." He summoned a portal, making Aqua confused."Just get some rest."
Aqua nodded and closed her eyes as Terra stepped into the portal that led to Destiny Islands.
So, Aqua is saved, Up next Ventus, Castle Oblivion and a little help from Sora.
Review please, next chapter up soon.
