Xenysis's POV- The Red Room, Hotel

Xenysis has been unconscious. For how long, he can't remember. He does, however, notice a sudden pain in the back of his head. He tried to open his eyes, but he couldn't find the strength to do so just yet.

It was long afterward that Xenysis could find the strength to open his eyes. When he did, he found himself in a strange room that seemed to be based off the color red. It, in fact looked like a hotel room. When he tried to sit up, he felt a sharp pain near his chest. It was then that Xenysis noticed the bandages over his chest.

?: "Oh good! You're up!"

This girl 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. There was a simple necklace with a charm resembling fire. She also wore brown leather boots.

Xenysis: "Who are you, and where am I?"

Ymke: "I'm Ymke, and this is Traverse Town. It's the haven for anyone who lost their world to the darkness."

Xenysis: "Lost to... the darkness?"

Then it all dawned on Xenysis. He practically jumped out of the bed he was in, ignoring the pain, exclaiming:

Xenysis: "Oh no! My world! My island! Sora, Riku, Kairi, Krissi!"

Ymke: "I'm sorry. You're the only one I found."

Ymke was practically tearing up, as if remembering something, or someone, precious to her.

Ymke's POV- Red room

Seeing the boy's worried face, Ymke stated, "I lost my world, too. Sometimes I wonder where my friends are. But enough about me, what's your name?"

Xenysis: "My name Xenysis. I used to live on a world called Destiny Isles."

Ymke then spots Xenysis's strange-looking sword, and picked it up. Upon closer inspection, Ymke noticed that 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 ending in a charm. The charm was two hearts attached at the point.

Ymke: "By the way, not to be snoopy or anything, but what is that strange weapon you're holding?"

Ymke hands the strange sword to Xenysis, who gratefully accepts.

Xenysis: "Oh, this? Someone said that it's called a keyblade. I decided to name it Lover's Embrace."

Ymke: "A keyblade? Never heard of it."

Then a strange shadowy creature appeared before the two, along with a few 'friends'. In all, there was twenty of them.

Xenysis and Ymke, together: "Not them again!"

Xenysis's POV- Hotel hallway

Xenysis: "Come on! We have to get out of here! There's too many of them!"

As Xenysis and Ymke ran out of the hotel, they found themselves in a central plaza, surrounded by the shadow creatures.

Ymke: "Looks like there's no choice now, we have to fight!"

Xenysis: "How are you going to fight these guys? I don't see any weapons."

Ymke: "I have my ways."

At that, wisps of blue fire surrounded Ymke, and transformed her attire into a set of armor made of fire. Afterward, she raised her hands, and two giant balls of fire formed, and to Xenysis's astonishment, didn't burn Ymke's hands.

Xenysis, shocked: "What the?!"

Ymke: "No time to explain, right now we need to 'take care' of the guys."

Xenysis nodded, and brought out his left-handed sword. The creatures to the left pounced, and Xenysis swiped once with Lover's Embrace, obliterating the shadows. A creature then tried behind him, and a flash of fire incinerated the monster(probably from Ymke.) However, the shadows began getting smart: they were attacking in larger and larger groups. In fact, there was one which looked more like a wall that a creature.

Ymke: "Stand back!"

As soon as Xenysis stood back, Ymke jumped forward, conjured a wall of fire, and pushed it forward with all her will. Xenysis just looked jaw-dropped. After all the creatures disintegrated, she falls over in exhaustion. As she landed, Xenysis caught her, and noticed an even larger group heading their way, with a new breed of shadow with armor, leading it. Xenysis made a quick mental note to name it a soldier, then looked back at Ymke.

Xenysis: "Ymke! Wake up, I can't do this myself!"

Xenysis blocked an attack just in time, laid Ymke down, quickly but carefully, and began to defend the two from the hourd. Soon, they were surrounded at all side by the shadows. All Xenysis could see was darkness, but he knew that the 'darkness' was really because the shadows covered every inch of vision. Somehow, he was able to hold off the shadows from laying a scratch on Ymke. Was this the 'power of the guardian' that weird dream talked about?

Ymke's POV-Second District

Ymke saw nothing but darkness, her eyes were fully open, but there was only darkness, and the sounds of metal against , the metal ceased, Ymke felt a weight against her, and now could only hear the scratching of clothes, bandages, and flesh. Hearing that last sounds, Ymke found what, or in this case who, was on her. Xenysis was protecting her, a total stranger not even from his world, with his life! Ymke felt a pang of guilt.

Suddenly, a flash of light illuminated the tiny area that was protected by Xenysis, and Ymke felt a rush of strength surge through her. She also noticed that she was holding something that felt metallic and warm. With this newly-found strength, Ymke form a 'bubble' of fire around Xenysis and herself, and expanded it, incinerating every shadow that touched the sphere.

Xenysis's POV- Second District

Surrounding him was shadow, then seconds later it was fire. He was inside a sphere of fire, which was expanding destroying every shadow that touched in the process.

Within this new light, Xenysis noticed that Ymke's mark of fire was glowing, as well as her eyes. She reminded Xenysis of Aang, a being known as the avatar that Xenysis read about. But what shocked Xenysis the most was that Ymke had a keyblade of her own.

Ymke's keyblade has a hand guard similar in shape to the Kingdom Key's, except it seemed to be made of fire, as it seemed to be alive. The charm on the end of this keychain, like Sora's, resembled the owner's necklace. The shaft was a smoky-colored cylinder, like the kingdom key, but the teeth were shaped like shark teeth , on both sides, and are red and yellow.

When the fire dimmed, and dispersed, only a soldier was left. However, the soldier started growing as it jumped high into the air, separating, reshaping, and by the time it landed again, it was about twice as tall as Xenysis. It was now a suit of dark-purple armor. With two gauntlets, two hammerlegs, an hourglass-shaped body, and a helmet.

As soon as it turned toward the duo, it gauntlets and hammerlegs began spinning, out of the body's control. While the helmet moved to the center of the body, where a crest rested. The body then turned till the helmet faced us, and the helmet reversed itself, revealing two glowing yellow eyes. As the duo kept the hammerlegs and gauntlets at bay, the body shot a blast of darkness at Xenysis and Ymke, which Xenysis used his Lover's Embrace to block, while using with left-hand sword to parry the gauntlet/hammerlegs attacks.

Ymke: "Xenysis, you take the legs, I'll take the arms."

Xenysis: "But, what about the-"

Ymke: "The body's blasts can be easily dodged or blocked. Now let's split this group of four, into two groups of two."

Xenysis hesitantly nodded. He handed Ymke his left-hand sword, unsheathed his right-hand sword, and began parrying the hammerlegs' attacks, while ymke was doing so with the gauntlets. After a while of parrying and dodging dark energy blasts, Ymke and Xenysis had the group separated, then Ymke sneaked away from the gauntlets by replacing herself with a form of 'fire clone'. Then the hammerlegs, in no time at all, dissolved in dark dust. At that moment, the body shot another dark blast at Ymke and Xenysis, whom dodged and the blast hit the hammerlegs, which dissolved like the gauntlets. This left the bod and helmet against Ymke and Xenysis.

As Ymke battled the body's blasts a darkness with her own blasts of fire, Xenysis jumped, landed on the body, used his sword to balance himself by stabbing it into the body, and began a volley of swipes at the helmet. The body tried time and time again to buck Xenysis off, and Xenysis started to feel sick, but he held on. Then, Ymke's keyblade came flying to the body and started striking the body at all angles and from every direction while Xenysis continued his own destruction.

Ymke's POV- Second District

Ymke: "Toss me your sword!"

Xenysis: "Why?"

Ymke: "Just do it! I'll give them back, trust me."

Xenysis tossed his sword toward Ymke. To finish the shadow off, Ymke landed on her keyblade, which she decided to name Furyblade, started boarding on it, caught the other sword, formed two extended fire blades to the swords, and yelled "Jump!"

Xenysis did so, and Ymke positioned the swords in opposite directions. She slipped right through the armor, slicing it in half with the magical blades, and left an explosive ball of fire behind, which blew as soon as she left the armor. While the armor exploded, Xenysis stabbed the helmet through the visor. As soon as the keyblade released the helmet, a heart was released and rose into the sky.

Xenysis and Ymke: "We did it!"

Then the fountain reacted to the defeat of the heartless. A bell rang three times, and each time, the image on the fountain changed. After the third ring the image was covered by what appears to be a keyhole that leads to darkness, but is surrounded by a silhouette of light. At the sight of this, Xenysis's and Ymke's keyblades glowed white, pulled themselves forward, (facing the keyhole) and each shot a thin beam of soon as the beams hit the keyhole, a clear, sharp 'ka-click' and disappeared in a display of light.

Sora's POV- Clocktower

When Sora turned around after ringing the bell a third time, he gasped. Down at the fountain was what appeared to be Xenysis next to another keyblade wielder, whom was dressed in an armor made of fire. Donald (a white duck with a blue shirt, and wields a staff) and Goofy (a dog with brown pants, a green shirt, black vest, orange hat, and wields a shield) notice the pair, too.

Donald: "What is it?"

Goofy: "Do you know them?"

Sora: "I'm not sure, they're too far away. But one of them looks like a friend of mine."

Goofy: "Who?"

Sora: "He looks like my friend, Xenysis. He's also a keyblade wielder."

Donald: "Another keyblade wielder?!"

Sora: "Mhm."

After saying that, Sora notices that the armored one also has a keyblade, and both of their keyblades lock the keyhole.

Sora: "We should go speak to them, they might be able to help us. Plus, that would be one of my friends found, and three to go."

However, Xenysis and the armored one already left the area.

Goofy: "Oh well, at least we know that one of your friends is in safe hands."

Sora: "You're right. If Xenysis trusts this guy, then I'll trust him, too. Plus, they sealed the keyhole here, so that takes care of this world."

As Sora, Donald, and Goofy were heading toward the gates to the first district, Sora spots something.

Sora: "Look! A navigational gummi!"

Donald: "This means we can get to more worlds! Lets take it to cid."

Sora: "Right."

The trio head to the accessory shop.

Xenysis's POV- Red Room, Hotel

The two keyblade wielders went into the red room of the hotel. Ymke was out of her armor, and both of their keyblades disappeared in a flash of light.

Xenysis: "So, what do you think just happened?"

Ymke: "I'm not sure. I think we locked something."

Xenysis: "I wonder, what do you think we locked?"

Ymke: "I don't know. These are rather unusual weapons, after all."

Xenysis: "Yeah."

That's when a wisp appeared in front of the two. Xenysis jumped to his feet.

Xenysis: "What is that?!"

Ymke: "Calm down, that's a will-o-the-wisp.

Xenysis: "A what?! Is it friendly?"

Ymke: "A wisp, and yes, it's friendly."

The wisp was beckoning for them to follow, making childlike sounds. As soon as Ymke reach the wisp, it disappeared, and multiple wisps appeared creating a line for the duo to follow.

Ymke: "Come on!"

Xenysis: "Are you sure it's going to be safe?"

Ymke: "I'm not sure. But wisps are said to lead you to your fate, or at least closer to it."

Xenysis reluctantly followed.

Ymke's POV- Gummi hanger

The wisp lead the duo down to a strange hanger, with all kinds of weirdly-shaped spaceships.

Ymke: "Why would the wisps lead us here?"

Xenysis: "I don't know. But look!"

As Xenysis states this, they notice a small ship that looks like a like a lifeboat with solar sails. It was headed directly for Xenysis and Ymke. Xenysis pulled out his twin swords, stabbed them into the ground, and held them still. The lifeboat landed in front of the twin swords and skidded to a stop, bumping into the swords.

Xenysis: "I hope the owner of this is friendly."
