Xenysis practically jumped out of bed. He was using his headband as a blindfold, so he had to take it off and readjust it. Once he tied his headband back on, he decided that it would be best to bring along his trusted twin blade, which looked like generic samurai swords, just in case.

Once the sheaths were strapped on, and both swords in their respective sheaths, there was a quick, almost desperate knock on the door. Xenysis opened it to find Krissi, flushed from exhaustion, her jump ropes replaced with actual whips, I'm guessing (like my twin swords) justin case.

Krissi: "Quickly, The rafts!"

Xenysis: "I know, that's why I'm up."

Krissi: "Okay, then lets go!"

Xenysis: "Wait a second, feisty pants! At least take take this with you!"

I reach in behind the door, and pulled a longsword that I specifically designed for Krissi, whom hesitantly accepted it.

Krissi: "Xenysis. It look nice, but you know I like using whips, right?"

Xenysis: "I know, that's why I'm giving this to you. You'll see what I mean when you press the button at the top of the handle."

Krissi found and pressed the said button, and her eyes widened in wonder. Her new sword split off into multiple bladed segments, connected only by chains. The longsword transformed itself into a bladed whip.

Xenysis: "I call it the rose blade, but I don't know if it works properly."

At that, Krissi tested her new weapon out, and it made a really nice whip crack. She pressed the button again, and it retracted itself back into a sword.

Xenysis: "Good, it works!"

Krissi: "I love it!"

Xenysis: "I just knew you would, but right now we need to check on the rafts."

Krissi nodded, and the two were off. Over on the beach, they noticed Sora docking his rowboat. He seems to be staring at something in the sky.

Sora: "What is that?"

Xenysis and Krissi turned, following Sora's gaze. When they found what he was looking at, they stood there, jaw-dropped. Right above them was a large, swirling vortex of darkness, with a red-purple center filled with chaos. That's when Sora snapped Xenysis and Krissi out of their trance.

Sora: "Riku's boat. And Kairi's."

Xenysis: "Then where are they?"

Krissi: "Guys? This might be a bad time to start a conversation."

Krissi was right. When Sora and Xenysis looked around, they found themselves surrounded by the shadow creatures from their dream.

Sora: "We're surrounded!"

Krissi: "You don't say!"

Xenysis: "It looks like they're looking for a fight; I'll hold them off. Sora, you go find Riku and Kairi!"

Sora nods, and heads towards the paopu tree. In two quick swipes, Xenysis cleared a path with his dual swords, and runs after gesturing for Krissi to follow.

Xenysis: "Come on!"

Krissi: "Okay!"

When Xenysis and Krissi reached Sora, they were justin time to hear the conversation with Riku start. Xenysis and Krissi sheathed their blades.

Sora: "Where's Kairi? I thought she was with you!"

Riku: "The door has opened."

Sora: "What?"

Riku: "The door has opened opened Sora! Now we can go to the outside world."

Sora: "What are you talking about? We've gotta find Kairi."

Riku: "Kairi's coming with us! Once we step through, we might not be able to come back."

Suddenly, Xenysis hear screams behind him. He spins around to find a man in a black cloak, with Krissi in a headlock. At the sight of this, an overwhelming rage fills Xenysis to the core. In the corner of his eye, Xenysis notices Krissi's bracelet on the ground, and picks it up.

Krissi: "Xenysis!"

?: "Shut it, girl!"

The man then backslaps Krissi, knocking her out.

?: "Much better."

The man then opens a portal of darkness below him, dragging Krissi with him. Xenysis runs to the opening of the portal, but it closes at the last second, and Xenysis starts getting pulled in by the darkness.

A bright light appears behind Xenysis and in his right hand. When the light dimmed, Xenysis found that the bracelet was replaced with a strange key-shaped sword. It was mostly dark-pink in color, with red hearts on the blade as teeth, and two hearts welded together to form a hand guard. A chain hung from the handle with a charm that matched Krissi's bracelet perfectly. It's name, Xenysis decided, will be Lover's Embrace.

Keyblade…

Keyblade…

After that familiar voice, shadow creatures surrounded Xenysis and Sora, whom also has a keyblade.

Sora's keyblade has an almost rectangular yellow hand guard, with a silver cylindrical shaft leading to teeth in the shape of a crown. The chain attached to Sora's keyblade leads to a charm that resembles Sora's necklace.

Sora: "We're surrounded!"

Xenysis: "I'll distract them, you find Kairi!"

Sora nodded, then headed to the secret spot to look for Kairi.

Xenysis: "Alright, let's see what this 'keyblade' can do!"

Sora's POV-The secret spot

When he entered the secret spot, Sora notices a wooden door with no doorknob on it. Kairi back is facing him.

Sora: "Kairi!"

Kairi slowly turned to Sora, her eyes look like they were in a tranced state. She quietly breathed out, "Sora…"

Just then, the door behind her flew open, and blew Kairi towards Sora. But, just before he was able to catch her, she disappeared, out of his reach. The wind from the door soon blew aggressively enough to blow Sora out of the secret spot.

Xenysis's POV-Sandy battlefield

Those shadows were relatively weak, but they wore him out, nevertheless. That's when he notices the island. It's been completely flattened. It's now closer to a round, sandy battlefield, than an island. It's now in the shape of a circle, it's entirely covered in sand, and there's absolutely nothing else. There's no ocean, there's no sky, nothing except the battlefield of a platform. His shadow was unusually large at the time.

Then, his shadow did something he would've never guessed. His shadow rose from the sand to a height of a three-story building. It has piercing yellow glowing eyes, and has a heart-shaped hole in its stomach.

Sora: "It's humongous!"

Xenysis: "But it still has a weakness, go for the hand."

As the creature tried to punch Sora, Xenysis ran over, got down on one knee, and blocked the punch with the Lover's Embrace. This gave Sora the chance to cause an onslaught of attacks to the hand. Xenysis pulled his right-hand sword out, and pinned the giant shadow's hand to the sand.

Afterward, Xenysis unsheathed his left-hand sword while Sora brought out his wooden sword, and they ran to opposite shoulders. Sora and Xenysis start a rampage on the shadow's creature's left hand raises to swat us away, but Sora slices through the wrist and retrieves my right-hand sword before continuing. The falling hand disperses into dark dust.

The two then use the twin swords to stab into the shoulder while demolishing the head. As a final strike, they both stabbed their blades into the head.

The head started to spark with white electricity, until the head finally dissolved, releasing a captured in the process. Then, the body slowly dissolved from top to bottom, allowing safe travel to the sand.

Sora hand Xenysis the sword. Xenysis sheaths both of his twin swords. Then, the ball of darkness began to pull everything in, including Sora and Xenysis. Sora grabs hold of a stable wooden pole, and Xenysis grasps Sora's leg.

All of this struggling, however, ended up in vain as they were sucked into the void. They both become consumed in darkness.

Ymke's POV- Traverse Town

Ymke was wandering the back alleyways of Traverse Town, a town where a newcomer can only mean a world lost to the darkness. She was thinking about what her recent dream meant.

Ymke was a sixteen-year old girl with brown hair, and a few locks of fire-red hair. On her right cheek is a fire-red marking that resembles the Japanese character for fire. She wore blue jeans with two sets of chains attached to belt loops. Over her plain-white tee shirt she wore a baggy jacket that resembles fire, with two patches of black on the upper-front, and a red hoodie. On the shoulders, are images of fire. She also wore brown leather boots.

She then looked up, and noticed a boy with a strange-looking sword unconscious on the ground. So, she picked up the strange weapon, set it on the boy, and dragged him into a hotel room to sleep.

At the hotel room, when she set him down in the bed, she couldn't help but get a better look at him, so she summoned a small ember in her hand, and lit a couple of candles.

The boy had chocolate-brown hair, with a red windbreaker jacket. He wore green slacks, pure-white sneakers, and (upon closer inspection) a black bowling shirt with twin Eastern-style dragons on it. He also wore a bandana as if it were a headband.

Ymke: "What, am I going to do with you?"

As Ymke pondered over this, she noticed a will-o-the-wisp beckoning her toward the medicine cabinet.

Ymke: Sigh. "You're right, as usual. I should heal him up first. He looks pretty beaten down."

After saying that, Ymke set to work to patch up the strange boy.
