Chapter 2
Train sat a table, a glass of milk in his hand as four people talked to him.
"Alright, so where are you from?" a brown haired woman asked. She wore a long pink dress, a red denim jacket and had a calm and pleasant demeanor.
"Nowhere in particular, I travel around a lot."
"Doing what?" The blond hair man asked.
"I'm a sweeper."
"You clean streets?" a black haired woman asked. She wore tan short shorts with a black strapless shirt with white flower designs on it, a grey sleeveless jacket over it, a white headband with a black stripe along the middle, and a black bracer on her left arm.
"No!" he pouted "Sweepers are bounty hunters that capture criminals for a fee."
"Alright. Now Cid explained how you got here but something doesn't make sense. How did you get here without your world falling to the Heartless?" A man with a scar from his right eyebrow to under his left eye. He wore a small leather jacket with white fur around it, a white shirt underneath and black jeans.
"The railgun. When the nanomachines in my body started acting up again it built up the electricity and that overflowed into Hades and it was either shoot into the sky or be killed. Maybe I tore open a rift that let something grab me and sent me here." He said getting a serious look to him. It was then that the four noticed the tattoo on the left side of his chest, just barely visible above his white shirt. It was a roman numeral for 13.
"Out of curiosity what's with your tattoo?" The brown haired woman asked.
"Its form my days as a house cat. I'd rather leave it at that. It's the reason that I became a sweeper, to live as I please just like a stray cat." He said, as he began to drink his milk. The four then moved back and began talking in low voices but Train could still hear them.
"What do you think Leon?" Cid asked.
"He's innocent. He seems to have a troubled past but that's fine. If we could find Sora we might be able to help him." The man with the scar said.
"Yeah but he's been missing for a long time." The brown haired woman said.
"Well we should try to help him Aerith. At least until we find either Sora, Riku, or the king." The black haired woman said.
"Who are they?" He asked. They then turned and he was standing in the circle with them.
"How did you do that? Are you a ninja like Yuffie?" Leon asked.
"Nah. I'm just me." Train laughed "So who are they?"
"They are the wielders of the only item that could get you home and protect it." Cid said bluntly.
"What?"
"It's called the Keybalde. It has the power to lock the keyholes in the worlds and to lock or unlock hearts. It's one of the few items that can restore the hearts that the Heartless steal." Leon explained.
"And the Heartless are those black creatures that were attacking me." He reiterated.
"Yeah. They steal the hearts of others and they use them to create more heartless." Yuffie said.
"So I just stay here and wait until one of these Keybalde wielders shows up?" he asked.
"Yes. You can stay here until then, and don't worry you'll get home soon." Aerith reassured. Train then gulped down the last of his milk and went up to the second floor and plopped down on a bed and just slept.
