Okay, here's chapter 3! ...And there's actually some action in this one. Whoo! But I am in a writer's block, so this was a pain in the ass to write!

Warning: There is a huge skip of a very long and annoying speech ahead. Don't like, don't read.

Chapter 3

"Master Yen Sid! It's an honor!" Donald spoke as he and Goofy bowed to the old man in front of them. He nodded at them in acknowledgement. Sora, unaware at the mannerisms that they were showing, stepped forward and casually waved.

"Hey there!" he smiled. Donald and Goofy jumped at his rudeness, before Donald went on to scold him like a mother would to a child.

"Sora! Show some respect!" he berated. Sora blushed a little and chuckled in embarrassment, while Kyrie silently giggled at the three. They could make a great comedy team, if they wanted to. She turned and looked around as they talked, her thoughts wandering.

"This "King" that they keep mentioning…I wonder who he is…" Suddenly she could hear a rattling at the door, making the wise sorcerer sigh as the group looked at the door.

"Ah, the heartless are very persistent. No doubt because two keyblade masters and a pure heart are here. Kyrie, would you go and keep them at bay? I have things to discuss with these three." Kyrie nodded, making Sora turn to the old sorcerer in shock.

"You're making Kyrie fight heartless by herself? But what if she gets hurt!" he protested. Master Yen Sid gave the boy a stern frown.

"Do not worry. She will be fine. Kyrie came to me just recently, having no memories of her past or birth world. But she is an excellent fighter, nevertheless. You must trust her, Sora, for she will accompany you three on your journey." he explained. Kyrie stared at him with wide eyes, she didn't think that he would actually lie and cover for her.

While the losing memories part was true, she had expected for him to rat her out and tell them that she was-well, maybe not anymore-with the organization. The boys turned to her.

"You lost your memories?" Sora asked. Kyrie gave a nod before the rattling at the door worsened. Yen Sid turned to them.

"Please allow her to go and take care of them. There is much that we have to discuss, we mustn't dally." he explained. The trio nodded as Kyrie summoned her white kingdom key and opened the door, seeing that Soldiers and Shadows littered the place. Closing the door behind her, she began her attack.

Going after the soldiers first, she jumped into the air and parried their attacks with the keyblade, and roundhouse kicked them away with her legs. Using the stairs to her advantage, she managed to trip some of them, bringing the keyblade down on their heads and destroying them instantly. But with the shadows, it was a bit trickier.

They also began to use the stairs to their advantage, because they could slink along the floor and steps making it difficult to destroy them. Kyrie growled inwardly when a shadow that she had been going after for a few minutes phased into the ground again, making a loud "clang!" as her keyblade slammed against the floor.

"Damn, these things are little cheats!" she thought. Then an idea came to her.

"Wait, shadows can leap into the air too, but once when their pray is completely still. If I can do that…" stopping all movement, she waited as the shadows gathered, before they surfaced and leaped. Their target, her chest. Quickly summoning her Lost Memory keyblade, she began twirling like a fan and destroying the shadows like a fan's blades. Once she was done, she allowed herself a breather and waited to see if more would show up.

She sat against the door and slumped to the floor, slinging her backpack off her back as she looked at the contents inside.

All of her belongings were in there, from her sketchbook and art utensils to the picture of her younger self and the doll DiZ had given her. She felt her heart give a throb of pain as she stared at the contents, it was making her a little…homesick.

She missed the Castle that Never Was, as odd as it may sound. She missed Demyx, Xigbar, Roxas, Xion, and…Axel. She even missed the missions Saix made her go on.

But out of all of that, it was Axel she missed the most. The reason was obvious, he was her best friend. But something inside her, a part she didn't know and couldn't explain, told it that wasn't the reason.

She missed his voice, his eyes, the way he would ruffle her hair and mess it up…she missed all of it. All of him.

"Axel…why?" she thought as she buried her face into her arms. She was fighting to hold back her tears. Axel had abandoned her, he didn't want her around anymore. It was as simple as that. After a few minutes of sitting in silence, she wiped the tears out of her eyes and stood, satisfied that no more heartless were showing up. Opening the door, she walked inside just as Yen Sid finished talking to the three.

"Through there, you'll find three good fairies. If you ask, they'll create for you appropriate garments. Those seem a bit too small for you." He explained. Donald and Goofy laughed at this, and he laughed in embarrassment. With that, they turned and walked through the door. Once they were gone, Yen Sid turned to her.

"Kyrie, I want you to keep a close eye on those three. They are fair fighters, but they may stray from their journey. I need you to make sure that they stay on the right path. In return, I will try to find the reason why you are here, and for what purpose." he explained. She nodded as she wrote in her notebook.

Of course, Master Yen Sid. I will accompany them and try to keep them on the right path. But also…could you maybe…try and find a way to save my friend? I want that more than anything else in the whole world. Even more than a reason for why I'm here and what I'm supposed to do.

He was silent as he read this, before he nodded.

"Very well, I will try." the sound of a door opening and closing turned their attention to Sora, Donald, and Goofy as they entered the room. Kyrie stared at Sora's new clothes, impressed at the style and the black, red, and yellow color-scheme of his attire. Immediately the sound of an engine turned their attention to the window, where an orange and yellow ship hovered just outside. She stared at it, she had never seen a ship like this. Donald smiled happily.

"Hey! It's the Gummi Ship!" he smiled. Sora nodded and pumped a fist before turning to Donald, Goofy, and Kyrie.

"So you guys ready to go?" he asked. They nodded as he, Donald, and Goofy stood at attention, before Yen Sid motioned for them to wait.

"Now, now, just a moment." The three of them slumped and she giggled silently before he continued.

"Because of your previous endeavors, the worlds have returned to their original states. That means the pathways between them have disappeared." They seemed to have slumped even further and Donald sighed.

"How do we get around?" he asked. Kyrie turned and walked to the window, staring at the ship as Yen Sid explained to the trio how they would be able to get around. Kyrie had her own ways of transportation, but she promised the old master that she would stay with the three.

And she always kept her promises.

"Now then, that's all the information I can give you. Go forth, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Kyrie. Everyone is waiting." He finished. Sora nodded and turned to them.

"Okay, let's get going!" The four nodded before Sora, Donald, and Goofy got back in line and stood at attention. Kyrie smiled and rolled her eyes, they were a funny bunch, she had to give them that. Yen Sid was silent before looking at her.

"But one more thing, Sora," he started. Sora slumped again before Yen Sid lightly pushed Kyrie forward, with her looking in between them in confusion.

"Since you now have the power to wield more than one keyblade, I am placing Kyrie as your mentor in showing you how to properly wield two keyblades in combat." he explained. Sora raised an eyebrow at her.

"Two keyblades? But Kyrie only has one!" he exclaimed. She glared at him before holding her hands out, summoning her white Kingdom Key and Lost Memory keyblade instantly. He gasped and raised his hands in surrender, taking a few steps back.

"Hey! You couldn't do that before!" he pouted. She smiled sweetly at him before Yen Sid spoke.

"Do not underestimate your allies, Sora. Kyrie has many unlocked secrets inside her, and it is up to both you and her to unlock them." he explained. Sora was silent before getting back in line and standing at attention…again.

"Master Yen Sid!" Donald spoke as they saluted him.

"We sure do appreciate the help." Goofy finished and with that, they were off. Kyrie watched them go before turning to Yen Sid and giving him a smile, before following after her new companions.

-The Gummi Ship-

Kyrie looked around the interior of the ship with wide eyes. It was spacious, with a kitchen, a place for the occupants to sleep, and even two bathrooms! She spotted at least a couple of extra chairs aside from the ones centered in front of the monitors and steering wheel, and decided to check out the sleeping quarters.

When she got back out, Sora was sighing as he and Donald stared at a map.

"Only one?" he asked. Donald nodded and he sighed, slumping into his chair. Kyrie smiled as they took off, leaving behind the mysterious tower and Twilight town. But after a few minutes, she found herself bored. There wasn't much to do in the ship, besides sleeping and gazing out into the stars. She gave a bored sigh before an idea popped into her head.

"Maybe I can draw. It would relieve some of the boredom…" at this thought she walked over and stood in front of Sora's chair, making the boy look at her curiously.

"Huh? What's up?" he asked. She gave a small smile as she pulled out her sketchbook and notebook, before writing in the notebook.

May I sketch you? It helps pass the time on long trips like these. And Donald and Goofy, I would like to sketch you both as well.

Sora immediately grinned as well as Donald and Goofy when he relayed the message to them.

"You can draw? Can I see some?" he asked. She blushed a little and nodded, but she had to be careful. She couldn't show him and sketches of Axel, Roxas, Xion, Demyx, Xigbar, or any of the other members she had sketched. Flipping open the pages, she showed him the ones of Twilight town, Hollow Bastion, and all of the other worlds she had visited. He smiled.

"Wow…I've been to a lot of these worlds. How long were you by yourself before you met Master Yen Sid?" he asked. She was silent, how long had it been since she had awaken in Twilight town?

"I think a year…but it seemed like forever ago. Especially since I had Axel, Roxas, Xion, Demyx, and Xigbar to keep me company…" she shook her head to clear away her thoughts before writing.

About a year, I think. I really don't know.

He nodded.

"That must've been lonely…" he mumbled. She gave a small nod, but she hadn't been alone. She had Axel, Roxas, Xion, and the organization. Sure, only a small number of them liked her, but at least she had a place to stay and wasn't alone. Sora gave a little cough, snapping her out of her thoughts as she looked at him.

"So…how did you lose your memories?" he asked. Goofy and Donald joined him, after Donald set the controls to auto-pilot of course. Kyrie was silent before writing.

One day, I just woke up in Twilight town, not knowing who I was or even my name. I found the sketchbook with the name "Kyrie" on it in the backpack I was carrying, so I assumed it was my name. Ever since then, I've been searching for clues about myself.

The three nodded at this before she held up her sketchbook, clearly done with the back-story and eager to draw. This made Sora grin.

"Okay, you can draw me. But just don't make me have a goofy face, okay?"

-Later-

After a long while of sketching, Sora, Donald, and Goofy, the three were pleased with the results and decided to leave her alone. Especially since they kept bugging her about what she could remember about her past. Kyrie stared out into the universe, a small frown on her face as she did so.

Would she ever see Axel again? Or would he fade before they even get the chance to see each other?

She stared off into the universe and placed a single hand over her heart.

"I want to see you."

Yes, this is the end of chapter three. I am currently in the middle of a writer's block, because I'm not sure which way I should go forward with this story. I need YOU, the awesome fans and reviewers, to state your opinions and help my sorry butt out. Because if you don't, I don't know WHEN the newest chapter will come out.

I can go one of two ways with this story. I can go 80-90% with the story up until the big fight at Hollow Bastion (when Sora meets Xemnas and Axel), which means most of the story until that point will be almost the same as with the game. (with a few edits here and there, since there's a few things about Kyrie she herself doesn't know...)

OR...I can go 70-85% with the game and skip parts which I think are boring. (like Yen Sid's big speech for example. I can't tell you how many times I had to listen to his speech every time I start a new game. It. Gets. Annoying...) But of course, there are only a few parts in the game that I actually find boring. Atlantica for example. Plus Timeless River, and even some of Tron's world. (don't hate.)

So the choice is YOURS, guys. Just say whichever one you like, in whatever form you like. And I mean either numbers or "The first one" "The second one".

Also, I apologize for this long speech and the fact that this chapter sucks. (depending on who reads it) so I'm sorry. It's hard to write with a writer's block, BELIEVE ME...anyways...

Please read and review.
