Sora's POV- Colosseum Gates

Sora and company stepped into the Olympus colosseum. He was told that his first-place spot in the Phil's Cup was going to be challenged. 'Man, when Phil says that something's a challenge, he means it.'

Donald: "Something the matter, Sora?"

Sora: "Yeah. It's this person (or group of people) that Phil says will be a challenge for me. I hope he's not evil."

Goofy: "Good point."

Sora strolled over to the Phil cup banner, where ten names are displayed.

Sora: "Good, a lot less heartless this time. This means we're making progress."

Then, Sora noticed a specific name on the board, and gasped.

Sora: "It's Xenysis! Xenysis is with someone called Ymke in a group of two!"

Goofy: "Maybe this Ymke fellow is the same one we saw him with in the second district."

Sora: "Maybe."

Xenysis's POV- Training Grounds

Xenysis and Ymke decided that it would be best to train before entering the tournament. So, they headed towards the training grounds.

Xenysis: "Ymke? How did you get your powers, anyway?"

Ymke: "I was born with them, and when I got Furyblade, they seemed to get suddenly stronger. So, I was thinking, 'Since magic users' strength heightens when they wield a keybade, then maybe non-magic users can use magic when they wield a keyblade.'"

Xenysis: "Then maybe you can teach me how to use fire-based magic?"

Ymke: "Maybe, but there's only one way to find out."

Ymke's POV

At that, Ymke began training Xenysis to use basic fire magic. She told Xenysis that, in order to use magic, he had to use his inner energy. To Ymke's surprise, it was rather easy to bring out Xenysis's magic abilities.

Ymke: "Alright, the hard part is done. Now, just make a mental picture of fire. Imagine it at the end of your keyblade."

Xenysis closed his eyes, and raised his blade, tip up. The red dragons on his shirt glowed, and the Lover's Embrace became a torch.

Ymke: "Very good. Now point your keyblade forward, and picture a fireball shooting out of it."

Xenysis's POV

Xenysis did as told, then opened his eyes. In front of him was a barrel, completely emblazoned by his magic. Xenysis stared wide-eyed.

Ymke: "Good, good! You've now learned the most basic fire magic."

Xenysis: "But now I just have to practise, right?"

Ymke: "Right."

Xenysis's POV- Arena

As Xenysis and Ymke walked into the arena on one end, another figure stood at the other end. This fire has red, spiky hair. He holds in his hands two red and silver wore a black cloak, much like the one that kidnapped Krissi. At the site of this cloak, Xenysis was filled with rage.

Ymke: "Hey, are you okay."

Xenysis: "That cloak. The one that kidnapped Krissi was wearing that."

Ymke: "What?!"

Before Ymke could say anything else, Xenysis bolted towards the person in front of him. As he swung his twin swords, his opponent block both with one of his chakrams, then used the other to knock the wind out of Xenysis.

Xenysis: "Who are you?"

?: "The name's Lea, got it memorized?"

Xenysis: "I'll make sure to remember that, kidnapper!"

Lea: "Huh?! What are you talking about?"

Xenysis: "You, or someone you know kidnapped my friend, Krissi!"

Lea: "Look, I don't know who this Krissi person is that you're talking about, but I'm not a kidnapper."

Xenysis: "Shut it, you liar!"

Xenysis jumped up, startling Lea. Xenysis kicked Lea down, pinning him down with his twin swords. Then he took Lea's chakrams, and pinned down his legs. Afterward, Xenysis summoned his Lover's Embrace, and started shed Lea.

Lea: "Please, mercy!"

Xenysis: "No mercy for a lyer!"

Xenysis backflipped, then he used the magic Ymke taught him, and almost incinerated Lea. However, before he could finish Lea, Ymke put Xenysis into a headlock.

Xenysis: "Let go of me!"

Ymke: "That's enough, Xenysis! You defeated him!"

Xenysis growled dangerously before he nodded. He recalled his keyblade, and when Ymke let go, pulled his twin sword out of Lea's cloak. He then left the arena to get ready for the next fight.

Sora's POV- Arena Stands

Sora saw everything that happened. He was stunned. Not in awe, but in shock. He just saw Xenysis try to kill someone!

Goofy: "Sora, did you see what I just saw?"

Sora: "If you're talking about a possible death, then yeah. What was it about that guy that caused Xenysis to go crazy like that?"

Donald: "I don't know, but it looks like your friend is fighting against the darkness."

Sora: "What?! Xenysis, with darkness inside him? Impossible!"

Donald: "It looks like it's quite possible, if you ask me."

Sora: "How could it be?"

Phil: "Worried about your friend, junior hero?"

Sora: "Yeah. I've never seen him like that before."

Phil: "Maybe when that guy down there comes around, we can ask him if he knows anything about this. Besides, I saw with my own eyes (and lost half of fur in the process) how strong your friend's friend is down there, Xenysis will be alright."

Ymke's POV- Rest Area

Ymke: "What's up with you, Xenysis? That guy clearly stated he had no idea what you were talking about, and quite honestly, I don't completely know, myself."

Xenysis: "Krissi was like a sister to me, and just before my world was consumed by the darkness, a man in a black cloak, much like the one Lea wore, kidnapped her. But, before he escaped with her, he backslapped her face! I'll never forgive that guy for what he did."

Ymke: "Well, it didn't mean that Lea was the one who kidnapped Krissi. Don't you think you were a bit harsh?"

Xenysis: "You're right, as usual."

Xenysis then got up to head back to the arena. Ymke followed him. When they got into position, a large cheetah was released from a cage.

Phil: "The cheetah's name is Sabor, be careful!"

Xenysis starts by stabbing his keyblade into the ground, sending a wave of fire at Sabor. 'Already at the second level of fire?! Amazing.' As Xenysis started meleeing the cheetah with his twin swords, Ymke used her keyblade as a hoverboard, grabbed the Lover's Embrace, and began attacking Sabor from all less than a minute, Sabor fell, defeated Xenysis grabbed Sabor, and tossed him into his cage. The cage door closed, and Xenysis and Ymke went for a rest.

Sora's POV- Arena Stands

Goofy: "Well, guasch! They're strong! I hope Xenysis can overcome his darkness."

Donald: "I hope so too, Goofy. Imagine what he could help us do."

Sora: "I just want my friend back."

Goofy: "Hey, wait a minute! If Xenysis and Ymke defeat the other eight fighters doesn't that mean we have to fight them?!"

There was a deadly moment of silence. The trio found out that their done for.

Sora: "I don't know whether to be mad or scared that Xenysis's winning. They defeated Sabor so easily."

Sora and company left, hoping that Xenysis loses just one match.
