Okay guys, here's chapter two! The first two chapters...maybe three...may seem a little slow, but that's because I'm limiting my typing to a certain amount of pages. (for saving reasons, of course) So just bear with me, and I apologize. Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter 2

Kyrie was silent as she wandered the grounds, taking in the sights around her. The sky was a mixture between night and twilight, the stars twinkling beautifully at the unusual unison. The wind blew gently, making the leaves in the trees rustle and the fallen ones dance around her.

Truly, this was a peaceful place. Despite the mysterious aura that hung around it. She stood there silently, before she heard a loud voice.

"Alright, now where's that old Yen Sid? Hm…this's the tower he lives in…" she perked at the voice and followed it. Hiding behind the bushes, she watched as what looked like a giant black-furred creature dressed in blue and red clothing approach the tower entrance. He stared at it for a moment before snapping his fingers, a large group of shadows and soldiers appearing by his side instantly. She stiffened.

"Heartless!" she thought as she watched, her eyes narrowing. What was he doing controlling such a horde? He stared at the group before pointing to the tower.

"Inside this here tower's a master, you lot go and turn him into a heartless! Don't come back until ya do!" he ordered. And with that, the shadows slunk into the ground and the soldiers disappeared. With his cronies gone, the creature turned back and opened the door slightly, peeking into it. She was silent as she pondered whether or not to go and help Master Yen Sid, but decided against it. He was very powerful, no shadow or solider could take him down.

"Master Yen Sid is strong, he can take them down." she thought adamantly. But before she could move, she heard more voices.

"There goes our ride…" she turned and watched as a boy with brown, spiky hair, a white-feathered duck, and a large dog-like creature approached the tower. She stiffened, the boy looked like Xion before she and Roxas fought. Was this…Sora?

"Is he Sora?" But…he looked different, older…she silently giggled when she looked at his clothes, they looked too small for him. The duck and the dog wore clothes too, but at least they actually fit them. She watched as they walked around, looking at the sights in awe. It must've been their first time coming here.

"Is this the group I'm supposed to be traveling with? If so…they don't…look very reliable." she thought with another silent giggle. It didn't matter though, they seemed like nice people, er…creatures. They talked to each other as they approached the entrance, before taking notice of the creature peeking through the door. She watched as they looked at each other before looking at the creature.

"What's goin' on?" the duck asked, his accent strange. The creature laughed as he continued peeking, not even bothering to look at the person who asked him.

"I sent some of my lackeys inside to see if the master of this here tower's as big and tough as they say." he answered, clenching his large fist.

"Word is, he's a real powerful sorcerer. Which would make him the perfect bodyguard for me. See, it don't matter how tough he is- once he's a heartless, he'll do as I say!" he continued. The boys got into a stance as the duck quacked.

"A heartless?" he quacked. The creature nodded.

"That's right. They're those things that come outta the darkness in folk's hearts. Why, with all those heartless at her side, my dear friend Maleficent is gonna conquer everything!" he answered. The boys relaxed themselves as he continued.

"And since I've got me a dept to pay, I'm goin' 'round a bunch of different worlds and buildin' an army of heartless, special for her." he finished. He paused for a second, before she started waving them off. She silently giggled, he still hadn't turned his back to even look at who was talking to him.

"Why am I talkin' to you pipsqueaks anyway? Go on, scram! I'm behind schedule as it is." the group was quiet before the dog spoke up.

"Ya oughta find somethin' nicer to do." he spoke, clearly not bothered by the creature's claims of conquering the worlds. At this, the creature turned.

"Says who?" he stopped, his eyes widening as he stared at them.

"Wha…AAAH! It's you!" he growled. The duck and the dog gasped.

"Pete!" they cried. The boy, who she assumed to be Sora, looked at them in confusion. The creature, Pete, pointed at them.

"What are you two nimrods doin' here!"

"What are YOU doing here?" the duck quacked. Sora looked at them.

"You know him?" he asked. The dog nodded.

"We sure do! Pete's been causin' trouble for ages! His majesty banished him to another dimension a long time ago. I wonder how he escaped." he explained. She was silent as she watched the spectacle, should she intervene? Pete laughed evilly.

"You wanna know how, eh? Well, Maleficent busted me out, that's how! And now your world- no, no, no all the worlds- are gonna belong to yours truly. Cause Maleficent's gonna help me conquer 'em!" he gloated. Sora smiled as he turned to his companions.

"Maleficent…huh." and with that, the three laughed. Pete looked confused by their laughter, and glared at them.

"What are you laughing at? Why, Maleficent's power is so great-"

"She's toast." Sora interrupted, a grin on his face. Pete gasped in confusion.

"Sorry, but Maleficent can't help ya now." the dog added. He growled.

"Whaddya mean?" he was silent for a moment, before pointing at them again.

"YOU! So you're the ones that did it!" he said accusingly. Sora smiled as he held his hands behind his head.

"Well…we mighta had something to do with it." he grinned. Pete growled.

"Heartless squad! Round up!" and immediately, shadows surrounded them. Sora summoned a keyblade while the dog grabbed a shield and the duck a strange-looking staff. She was silent before summoning her white keyblade, one was all that was needed since they were dealing with shadows, and jumped out of the bushes. She jumped over the steps and landed right on Pete's head, before slamming him face-first into the ground and going after Sora.

Pete looked at her and shouted something, but she paid him no mind and dove in to help Sora as the shadows surrounded him. She brought her keyblade down and knocked three out of the way instantly, joining him as he fought.

"Thanks!" he gasped before continuing. She only nodded in acknowledgement before turning her attention back to the shadows. In a matter of minutes, the shadows were gone. Pete growled as he threw a tantrum.

"You just wait! Nobody, and I mean nobody, messes with the mighty Pete!" he growled. Sora smirked as the duck and dog joined him, taking notice of the white-haired girl that stood at his side.

"So, "mighty" Pete, who lives in this tower, anyway?" he asked. Pete deadpanned.

"Oh, ya don't know, eh? Well, it's old Yen Sid. 'Course, he's probably a heartless by now!" he answered.

"Master Yen Sid lives here?" the duck gasped as he ran to the door. They watched as he walked in before the dog started to explain.

"Yen Sid is the King's teacher!" he explained. Sora stared at the doors in awe.

"Wow. Sounds powerful!" he gasped. And with that, they followed after their companion. Kyrie was silent before glancing at Pete as he threw a tantrum, probably pissed that he was completely ignored. Pete stopped for a moment and stared at her, engaging her in a sort of staring contest.

"Why's she starin' at me anyways? And that look…" he thought as he stared. She broke contact and followed after the boys, obviously not caring about his presence anymore. He growled.

"Somethin' ain't right about that girl…"

-Inside the Tower-

Kyrie ran in to meet Sora and his companions as they stood at the bottom of the stairs, talking to each other. But when Sora noticed her, he turned and smiled.

"Hey, thanks for helping us out back there." he spoke gratefully. She smiled and gave a small bow, confusing his companions. But Sora paid no mind to them, and continued.

"Anyways, my name's Sora." he started, but stopped when the duck came up from behind him.

"I'm Donald!" the dog joined in as well as he stood on the opposite side of the duck- er…Donald.

"And I'm Goofy!" he added. She smiled at the two before Sora spoke again.

"Anyways, what's your name?" he asked. She was silent before opening her backpack and pulling out her notebook and pen. Aware of the curious glances they were giving her, she opened it and wrote her name down.

Hello Sora, Donald, Goofy. My name is Kyrie, and it's a pleasure to meet you.

The three read her message before raising their eyebrows.

"Oh, it's nice to meet you, Kyrie." he answered. Donald eyed her suspiciously before he spoke up.

"Hey…why're using a notebook? It's-" he was stopped by Goofy, who placed a hand on his head.

"Now, Donald." he warned. Then he turned to her and smiled.

"What he means is, why do you use a notebook? Can't you talk?" he asked, obviously correcting Donald. She was silent before writing more.

I can't. I'm mute.

"Mute? What's that?" Sora asked. Donald scolded him.

"Sora! Mute is when a person can't talk at all!" he scolded. Sora chuckled embarrassingly as he held his arms behind his head. She nodded before writing more.

Come, I'll take you to see Master Yen Sid. You're here to meet with him, are you not?

The trio nodded.

"Okay then, lead the way!" Sora urged. She smiled and nodded as they began their ascent, walking up the stairs and walking into rooms. But what she didn't expect were that heartless had swarmed each room. By the time they got pass the second room, Donald had began a heated rant.

"Heartless, Heartless, Heartless! Things haven't changed one bit!" he growled as he crossed his arms and tapped his webbed foot. Goofy turned to Sora as Kyrie tried to calm down the frustrated duck.

"Well, it's a good thing we're on the job, then." he spoke. Sora frowned at this.

"So the worlds aren't at peace after all?" he asked. Kyrie was silent before grabbing his arm and giving it a tug, pointing at the door to the next floor. This grabbed his attention.

"We can ask Master Yen Sid when we get there." Goofy suggested. She nodded and the four continued on, taking out a few shadows and soldiers along the way. When they finally made it to the Wizard's loft, Kyrie stepped aside and motioned to the door, allowing them to walk past her and inside. As soon as they were inside, she walked in and closed the door as Donald and Goofy stood straight at attention. Sora was looking around casually, his hands behind his head as he did so. After a moment, they bowed, making Sora stare at them curiously before raising his head and staring at the old man at the large desk.

"Master Yen Sid! It's an honor."

Yeah, a real crappy way to end it. But if I didn't stop, I would've kept going! ...Right, I'll just be quiet.

Axel: Quit yapping and get writing, when am I gonna appear dammt?

Me: Oh be quiet you! You'll show up soon enough, keep your pants on!

Axel: Hey, YOU'RE the one who cut me out in the first place, I never even got to kiss her!

Me: Actually, yes you did. But it was unintentional. Remember the CPR?

Axel:...*blushes* That still doesn't count! I was giving her mouth-to-mouth.

Me: And what do you think kissing is, ?

Kyrie: ...*pulls out her notebook and writes* Ignore these two. This is normal, for them. Please hang in there, and read and review!
