Chapter 3: Meeting of Destiny
Marissa made it very clear to her dad, that before she had some dinner, she would take a shower. The desert sand, mixed with the murk of the forest, made her clothes stink, and that made her stink. After a long shower, she changed clothes, and went out to the kitchen, where her dad waited to eat with her. They talked about her latest mission, and how it was strange they were three connected planets. He explained what his father told him, and said, "A world may be a collection of them, if the worlds are connected as a universe. It could be very wide, but brought together very easily with the power of light." She nodded, and smiled. Just then, a figure burst through the door, knocking it to the ground.
(Alex, put your characters POV here, starting with Meanwhile she is taking a shower or something of that nature)
Stepping out of his shadow portal Terrakai looked down, noticing that in the place ground usually goes there was an ocean instead. Falling into it Terrakai started fuming inside. Closing his eyes to evade the pain of the water in them he began to sink. As he sank Terrakai reopened his eyes, adjusting to the water finally. After sinking low enough he saw a creature that look almost like an octopus. Terrakai, astonished, began to feel bloodlust. SL was hungry and Terrakai knew it. Throwing Forgotten Memories at the creature he realized he made a dire mistake. The creature he just aggravated was a Heartless. As the creature began to swim toward Terrakai, he realized something else, he had no idea how to swim. As Terrakai began to curse out SL the Heartless grabbed him. Finishing the grab the Heartless began bashing Terrakai against a rock. As he began to get crushed Terrakai realized something else, he couldn't breath. Inhaling salt water, Terrakai thought to himself, "Great, I'm going to die. I always thought I would die taking down a keybearer, not fighting dark sushi." Realizing he was screwed Terrakai desummoned Shadow Legion and Forgotten Memories. getting rid of the keys, Terrakai began to feel like a kid. Dismissing the feeling he tried to focus on the problem at hand. "Find mom- No I need to escape this- Bathtub- Ugh The ocean I have to escape this octopus. Then I'll find the -playhou- Keyhole and -Seal- it. SL also needs-Love- No Hearts what is wrong with me?" Right before blacking out Terrakai noticed his hair floating in the water looked black, but ignored it to focus on battling the odd persona of a child that seemed to be rising.
Terrakai's vision went black he tried to focus. He knew there was a child in his heart he just needed to remove it. As he looked ahead at the darkness a creature slipped out,from behind Terrakai, through Terrakai's heart and into his body. As this creature did so Terrakai, who saw what was ahead of him and not behind, noticing a light begin to brighten. Walking toward the light Terrakai drew his keys, noting that they looked like katanas when seen in his heart. As he passed through the light Terrakai watch the whole area change. It turned into a child's room, full of toys and brightness. The child, who appeared to be 7, looked at Terrakai. Looking at Terrakai, the boy opened his mouth to speak but no words came out. Then realizing his mistake the boy began to think and Terrakai heard it. "Hey you're back! Let's play." Terrakai in reply began to speak but noticed he seemed to have the same problem the boy had with his voice. So Terrakai instead tried to think. "Get out of my heart you child." He said to the boy as the boy ran past him and slammed the door. "Don't leave the door open you'll let the darkness in." Terrakai, who couldn't care less about the darkness getting in, pulled the door open and held it. "Who are you?" He asked the kid. All the kid did was laugh as his room was being destroyed by the darkness, his toys turning into weapons and his room losing it's light. As the darkness grew so did the boy and he actually started to talk. "I'm you- well at least your light. Keeping the door opens does nothing but make you have to face have to face yourself sooner. So close the door and leave that on the outside." The boy said, referencing to the black and crimson katana that was SL. By this point the boy was looking more like Terrakai every second. The real Terrakai, taking the hint, tossed SL out the door and shut it and, as he did the room turned back. As it the so the boy, who looked almost like a reflection, turned back into the 7 year old he was originally. "YAY!" he proclaimed in excitement, "Now we can play together!" So Terrakai sat down and started to play. After what seemed like a couple hours of play the boy stood up and began weeping. The alarmed Terrakai stood up as well and asked the boy, "What's wrong?" In reply the boy continued to weep and in between tears he said, "You have to go now Onee-Chan." Terrakai, who still didn't understand why the boy started calling him big brother, understood that he was waking up and, with a hug he left the boy.
When Terrakai's eyes opened, he began to sputter a combination of blood and ocean water. After he finished Terrakai drew his keyblades. Drawing the keys, the childishness that Terrakai had just spent a couple hours with seemed to fade. Standing up he pointed at a home on the island he landed on. "The keyhole is over there." Terrakai said walking over. Noting the sign in the ground, he gave a laugh. "Looks like my time on the Destiny Islands will be over before I know it!" As he reached the house, Terrakai did the best thing he knew, he kicked the door down.
"WHAT THE HELL! WE JUST GOT THAT FIXED!" Marissa screamed at the figure, and the light from outside leveled out. She saw a boy, about 16, with strange black marks, silver eyes, and red hair. Taken aback by the strange person, a dark feeling within her rose up. It stopped, but only because of the barrier separating her from her darkness. The curse was rising faster than they expected, but it would be something Marissa wouldn't worry about now. He stepped in, and she kicked the boy out to the water, because her house was right on the beach. He got up, and her dad came up behind Marissa. "That was unnecessary. At the same time, he screwed up by kicking down our door... You know what? I'll go get a new one this time. It's obvious our door is just gonna keep getting knocked down." With a nod, she gripped the boys collar and scarf, holding him up. "What the hell were you thinking? Who are you, and what do you want?" Looking into Marissa's eyes, Terrakai began to talk, "The name's Terrakai. I'm here for the keyhole. Now show it to me." As he said the last sentence, Terrakai swung SL at the girl. "There's your blood." He thought to the key. She leapt back, keyblade forming in her hand. "If you want to fight, go ahead, but I already sealed it. Also, you owe me money for that door you broke down." Her dad called her inside, and said, "The best way he can repay the damage is if he goes with you. I'm done with you being alone on your missions." She complained, "But I'm not alone! I have Tumeric!" Her dad shook his head, and replied, "Your boa doesn't count. I don't care if he is an animal, but he doesn't count. You need a person to go with you on these missions." She stared at the strange boy, Terrakai, eyes narrowed. "COME OVER HERE NOW, AND LOSE THE KEYBLADE OR THERE WILL BE A PROBLEM!" Terrakai turns to walk away, and impales SL into the ground. Tumeric, the boa, tripped Terrakai as he started to walk, and he fell face first into the sand. He got up, and felt his stomach begin to rumble. "Hey, you know what? I'll come with you, but only if you have food!" Marissa laughed, and so did her dad. Inviting him in, because they might as well, they gave him some pizza from a couple nights ago. The cold pizza was gone in seconds, Terrakai being incredibly happy he had food. He then looked out the window, and realized that SL needed to be desummoned. A dark flash appeared, then his key was gone. After eating, Marissa showed Terrakai the keyhole, and told him again that she sealed it awhile ago. Marissa thought back, and remembered what had happened at the beginning of her adventure;
"Come on Marissa!" Amy yelled as they ran to the Secret Place. Thomas ran behind her, hand curled with Amy's. Stopping in front of the door, they all smiled at each other. Summoning all three of their keyblades, they sealed the glowing keyhole, smiling and hugging each other afterwards. It was a happy time.
Meanwhile, Terrakai was making sure that she was still alive, looking at her face from underneath because she had her head bowed. All of a sudden, she snapped out of it, scaring the crap out of Terrakai. He stumbled and rolled backward into a faded picture of Kairi and Sora sharing a papou fruit. Caring nothing of the people, Terrakai asks, "How did they get that fruit?" She chuckles, and explains the papou fruit to him. After dragging him away so he wouldn't try to find one, they decided to head off. "Bye daddy!" Marissa called. He smiled, and Terrakai looked to Marissa and asked, "So, are there other keybearers other than you?" And she grunted and replied, "There was four of us, but the only one, who stays on the opposite side of the island, and myself remain." In unison the two opened shadow portals jumped in.
