Chapter 128: Rescue

Brian and Hikari slowed their speed in running, taking in the full intake of house coming into view. While all of the houses they had pass by were simple coloured houses, Kairi's house seemed to be a huge two story house, surrounded by porches and foot tall fencing surrounding the house. The sight of Enforcers guarding the gate and at the front door gave the impression that the Mayor had a lot of power on the Islands. They kept to the side like Sora had told them, looking for any signs of the Keyblade Master before they began to plan to get Kairi out. With recent events though, Hikari had to snap Brian back to reality as his memories began to trip him out. "Maybe you should just go-" She suggested.

"I'm fine." He moaned, his claw to his head, trying to deal with the headache he was dealing with. "Just images."

"You tried to jump on an invisible train."

"We were in the tracks!" He quickly defended before sighing, changing the subject. "Remember what I said, don't mention to Sora or Kairi that I'm from the future-"

"You've told me ten times now, Brian." Hikari rolled her eyes. "I'm not gonna tell them." The two halted, keeping hidden from view as they continued to look for the Keyblade Master. "So, who else is from your time?"

The red head hummed, thinking who came where. "Daniel, Kyle, Scott, Angel and Takura from Little Devon." He counted with his fingers. "The Colonel, Abroc, Skullo, Snake, Nikolai and Add…." He halted, feeling a lump form in his throat, the memory of the darkness flashing through him.

Hikari looked at him in confusion. "Add? Who's Add?"

He shook his head, knowing that the information about Addie can't be told, including when Addie will take refuge at the Resistance, mainly being in the company of Riku and Hikari when she is younger. "No one." He said, his voice darkened, the darkness in his mind.

She didn't look convinced. "Doesn't sound like no one."

"Why do you want to know?" He snapped, glaring at her.

Hikari quickly raised her hands up in defence. "I was only asking."

"Then don't ask." Brian's feet dragged on the floor, the sound the ground being scrapped with his feet. "It's just one of those things you can't know."

"Then why didn't you just say that?" Hikari pointed, rolling her eyes.

"Look!" He quickly pointed to a brush nearby, the sight of spiky, white hair grab their attention. The conversation of Addie forgotten as the two quickly dashed towards Sora, each of them being next to him. The vision of Sora in a few years flashed in Brian's mind but he quickly shook that away, he can't fall into his memories at the moment when they need to save Kairi. "What's going on?" he asked, hoping to keep focused on the task.

"They have taken Kairi back in the house. The house is surrounded by guards." Sora kept his sights on the house, his claw flashing brightly.

"I'm surprised that you haven't gone Outburst on the house." Brian smirked, taking sight of the claw in.

"My virus is celebrating that Kairi is gone." Sora said in annoyance. "He's not only trying to keep me in place but my head feels like he's having the party of the year."

"You're virus is rude, Sora. Not sending invites." He chuckled, joking around seemed to keep him distracted.

"Brian! Not now!" Hikari glared at him. "So what actually are we gonna bust Kairi out of-"

A huge bang could be heard within the house, the expression of the Enforcers' face seemed worried as some of them retreated back into the house. "That was loud." Brian pointed out.

Sora smiled at this. "Kairi's fighting on."

BOWBOWBOW

The Mayor remained in his office, dealing with the paperwork in hand before looking up at his door, hearing a lot of noise coming from outside his room. It didn't take long for the door to open at a fast speed, revealing an angered red head, glaring at him as she gathered her breathing, weapon in hand. "I'm glad that you have safety returned home, daughter." The mayor turned back to his paperwork.

She disposed of her keyblade, slamming her hands on his desk to grab his attention, flickers of auburn red hair falling in front of her face. "Didn't the letter explain anything? I left on my own free will." She said with anger pulsing through her voice.

"Did they tell you to say that?" He questioned, rising up from his paperwork and stood to face her daughter. "Honey, you're confused. You must still be brainwashed by their spells." His wrinkles creased as his narrowed his eyes, looking down at the girl. "Maybe you should get some rest."

"Maybe you should let me go." Kairi countered, slamming her keyblade on the ground. "I'm a keybearer. I have to go with them."

"Now you're making words up.." He muttered to himself.

"I'm not making things up! If I don't go, Sora is gonna get worse-"

"Sora is nothing but a bad influence. If he is getting worse in behaviour then that's even more reason to keep you away from him." He told her.

"But his ill—"

"I can guess that it's a trap." Her father cut her off, looking outside his window. "He is obliviously making some illness up to draw you in."

"Are you that cruel to condemn my friend to death because you don't trust him?" Kairi looked at her father in disgust, the mayor remained in place. "You won't be mayor for long once Sora's mother and the villages hears-"

"ENOUGH!" He shot around and banged his hands on the table, glaring at her angrily. "I have had it with your childish stories of keyblades and hearts of all worlds. Those boys are dangerous! They disappear for a year and then you disappear too. So long as I'm alive, you will not leave this house." He vowed.

"But daddy—"

"I said ENOUGH!" He clicked his fingers, allowing Destiny Islands' Enforcers to burst into the room, quickly grabbing Kairi from behind, holding her by her arms. Her keyblade disappeared as she screamed, fighting back to the enforcers. "Take her to her room. Make sure she doesn't leave." He commanded, watching as his daughter was slowly taken away.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

The Mayor blinked at the sudden noise. There were guards placed at his front gate and door, how could there possibly be someone knocking at the door. Surely the force hadn't gone completely dumb that they needed to knock on every door in the house just to report something. The door was heard again, knocking at a faster pace this time. The Mayor left his office, looking up the stairs to see that most of his guards seemed to be busy upstairs. Surely his daughter shouldn't be that much trouble, she was only sixteen.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" The man roared with annoyance. He was the mayor of Destiny Island! Where was his maid when he needed her? He walked over to the huge wooden door, looking through the eye hole in the door before opening it up, revealing a red headed teenage boy, looking as if he was the same age as Kairi. The old man glared at the boy, ignoring the innocent face that he was pulling. "How did you get past my guards?" he questioned.

The boy raised an eyebrow. "There were no guards, sir."

"What do you mean there was no guards?" The man pushed the boy to the side, giving the old man the view of the path to the house, only to see that the boy was right. There were no guards. The mayor could only huff as he looked back at the boy. "What do you want?" He barked. "You from one of those 'save the dolphins' or Blitzball supporters or something?"

"Actually." The teen corrected his posture as he spoke. "I was looking for a Miss Kairi. I heard that she lived here."

The mayor narrowed his eyes once more, looking as if he was ready to bite his head off if he didn't pick his next few words carefully. "Why are you looking for her?"

"Because." The boy grinned. "I'm her brother."

BOWBOWBOW

Sora awaited on the side-line, watching as the plan took place. With the help of Selphie and the others, Hikari was able to distract the guards from the front gate and door and lean them to a distance. He could only hope that Selphie doesn't mention the comment he made about Riku having a new love otherwise Hikari just might 'accidently' let the guards come back. As soon as the guards were gone, Brian had made his way to the front door, with his hair combed smartly with lots of gel and placed his old green jacket on. From the way that Kairi's father was yelling at him, something along the lines of 'proof' and 'spying for them', he could tell that he was distracted.

"Better make it fast." He winched slightly, his claw pulsing in pain, as if disagreeing with him. Ignoring the pain, he quickly made his way around the house to the backyard. He quickly hopped into one of the nearby brushes, avoiding the enforcers glare as they quickly made their way to the front door. As soon as they were gone, he dashed from his hiding place, quickly converting into his wind element to blast his way into Kairi's garden, hiding in the tree.

He popped his head out of tree, seeing that he would easy jump from the tree to Kairi's porch and enter her room. His eyes scanned the room, seeing that the princess of heart was quickly pushed into the room by the many so enforcers before the door slammed shut. He watched as Kairi tried to open her door, only to find herself getting shocked as a faint purple glow covered the door. Charms? Looks like the Island has been getting busy with spells. He watched as the Princess of Heart tried to break the door down, only to bounce back from the charm in place. "Kairi!"

The Princess of Heart turned around, mounting his name as she approached the porch door, only to bounce back in shock once more. The Keyblade Master looked at the porch door, to see that a purple material was placed near the handle, within the keyhole itself. "Better jump." He said to himself, holding on the branch as he prepared to jump.

Forget about me?

Sora hissed in pain as the virus violently attacked him, making him lose his grip. Yelling in surprised, he quickly grabbed the edge of the porch with his free arm, gripping his teeth tightly from the deadly pain he was receiving from his claw and heart. "Noo.." He hissed through his teeth, looking down at the huge drop below him. If he lost grip, he would be easily caught as he won't be able to climb the tree again.

The sudden sounds of struggles from above caught the Keyblade Masters ears', most of the struggles just sounded like a battle was going on in the room."Kairi…" With all of his might, he slowly pulled himself up, allowing him to place his feet on the porch. With one big jump, he jumped up from where he was hanging and staggered himself on the porch. He quickly looks up to see that the bed was now leaning against the glass porch door, no view into the room. He quickly summoned Kingdom Key and smashed the charm of the door, quickly opening the door and pushing the bed out of the way. "Kairi?"

The room was empty. The sight of the room looked as if a tornado had struck the room as there was glass on the floor from the broken lights, books were scattered everywhere, pictures of them were clawed or ripped to bits, her five post curtain bedframe was damaged with blade cuts, as well as dripping water. The sight of an empty, messed up room dropped the Keyblade Master in worry. He had seen Kairi in the room mere minutes ago, trying to escape. Did she managed to escape from whatever the struggle was? He quickly made his way over to the door, only to receive a shock. "The Charm is still there." He thought outloud. 'Then where is she?'

Something reflective caught his eye. He turned his attention to the sight of ice forming on the small part of the wall, as well as the sight of a red liquid, dripping from the frozen liquid. "Kairi…" He gulped. He had a feeling that that was Kairi's blood. If that's Kairi blood then whoever she had the struggle with had hurt her badly, the sight of the ice gave him the impression that it would be someone with the ability to use magic, listing any of the Enforcers out. He quickly double checked the room, as well as her on suite, which seemed more like a frozen cave, before going over to the door.

"I'm telling you! Keeping your daughter coped up will do her no good." He heard Brian's voice. Could he have managed to convince the Mayor?

"My daughter will be safe from people like you!" He raged.

"People like me?" He questioned his tone of voice slightly offended.

"Those from another world. It's the main reason she ended up on the Islands in the first place. They tried to hurt her and all those boys do is to try and throw her back into the place where she was hurt in the first place."

"It's not like it was ten years ago. It's because of Sora and Riku that things are different now-" Brian pointed out.

"So you know them?" The Mayor's voice raised in anger.

'I don't have much time!' Sora thought, hearing Brian argue with the mayor didn't give him much time to find clues to where had been taken. Considering that Kairi had been taken right from under his nose, he keeping rather calm, his worry remained in his heart but he won't be able to find her if he starts to panic and take the entire house down. He began to check the frozen ice on some of the walls and the frozen cave in the bathroom. It was only when he had started to look in the bathroom when he noticed an item fixed within the ice. "Fire…" He whispered, creating a burst of fire within his infected claw, melting the ice down as the item feel into his other hand. "A note?" He looked at the message, seeing if it held any clues.

Must rule!

No matter the cost!

Notepaper from RGRC

RGRC? He knows what that means! Sora disbursed his flame and quickly dug into his pocket, pulling out a purple like membership card, saying, 'Sora. Radiant Garden Restoration Committee Honorary Member.' "Who would take Kairi to Radiant Garden?" He asked himself. He was slightly worried that someone that they didn't know was trying to open the Door to Darkness again. From Hades' information, he knew that it wouldn't be Maleficent. Then if it wasn't Maleficent then who could it be?

"KAIRI! WHERE ARE YOU?"

"Oh no.." Sora whined slightly, slowly turning around to find the mayor looking back at him, his expression full with anger. He must have been too focused on the note to notice him coming in. He chuckled nervously as he waved. "Hi sir."

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY DAUGHTER!" The mayor didn't waste any time to grab Sora by the shirt, pinning the boy to the wall. At the range that mayor was to Sora's face, it wasn't hard to recognise the teen. "What has happened to you boy?"He gasped, taking sight of his slightly tanned skin, his white hair and the infected claw on his arm. He growled as his shock quickly dissolved, bring his anger back as he yelled. "WHY CAN'T YOU LEAVE HER ALONE? ALL YOU DO IS PUT MY LITTLE GIRL IN DANGER!"

He ignored the pain coming from his claw, only focusing on the angry old man. He quickly, but slightly, pushed him away from him, glaring at the mayor. "I haven't done anything!" He defended himself. "And Kairi's her own person now. What she decides isn't up to you anymore."

"And her decision had lead people searching for her!" He growled. "Looking for her with any means necessary! Why do you think I have enforcers covering the place? All because she followed you two."

"Who was after her?" Sora stepped toward, seeing that the mayor knew something. "Is that the reason you had made us wanted?"

"I made you wanted because you had led my daughter to her doom!" He glared, ignoring his first question completely. "And judging that she isn't in here, I'm guessing that's where she's heading."

"Don't you have any respect for your daughter, Sir?" He was amazed that he could keep his manners while he was angry. "If you hadn't trapped her in her room, she wouldn't be gone in the first place. If anyone is to blame, it's you!"

"HOW DARE YOU—" The mayor gasped in pain, his eyes dropping before he collapsed on the floor, revealing the Aversion Endless behind, disposing of his staff.

Sora quickly picked up the unconscious man and leaned him against the wall, sighing at the sight. "I'm sorry, sir." He said apologetic tone, looking at the sleeping status. "I'll keep her safe."

Brian quickly looks around seeing the sight of the ice everywhere. "This might be Nikolai's work." He said, looking closer at the ice within the wall. "But some of this isn't his style of work."

"Whoever it is, we don't have time to waste." Sora stood up and quickly went over to Brian, passing him the note that he had found. "Contact Hikari. Get to the gummi as quick as you can." He instructed, quickly jumping off the porch, landing gracefully on the ground.

"Wait Sora!" Brian quickly ran to the porch, watching the Keyblade Master make his way back to the beach. "God dammit." He slammed his claw on the porch edge before looking at the note that Sora had handed him. The words that were written only made him groan as the memories flooded through his mind. "Dammit! Anyone but him!" He complained before jumping off the porch as well, following the Keyblade Master.

A/N: And that's Destiny Islands done. Sorry if this seems like a short chapter, it was to get things running. Will the crew receive Kairi in time? Who was the person that took her? Tune in next time for KINGDOM HEARTS : BALANCE OF WORLDS
