The ship landed firmly on the ground. As the trio got off, they enter a familiar place where there was a water fountain and two staircases. Where the seal to Kingdom Hearts was open by the keyhole. It was Hallow Bastion.
"This was the place where my father turn into a heartless. Oh father, I hope your watching over me." Yume said to herself out loud.
"Yume are you ok?" Goofy asked. Yume looked back at Donald and Goofy noticing they were watching her.
"Oh yeah. I'm fine." Yume said.
The trio continued to explore the the place to search for the King. The place was very big. As it was a nice town. Even thought it wasn't as bright as Traverse Town, but it was nice. So far it very quiet. Maybe people were afraid to come out of their homes, the heartless might of invade this place too. That was just so crule of them. They will pay for this.
It was getting really fun to see the whole part of Hallow Bastion but there still no sight of the King. The trio was getting worried, luckily Yume came up with an idea.
"I'm thinking we should split up." Yume said.
"WHAT?!" Donald and Goofy said. They really didn't wanted to be seperated from Yume. What if something happens to her? They couldn't stand it if Yume got hurt.
"If we're goanna find the king, we need to go individually. That way, we'll find him much faster." Yume explained. Then Donald and Goofy thought that was a good point, after all it's best if they thrust her, they can't stop her from prevailing her destiny.
"She does has a point." Goofy said.
"Ok. But be careful." Donald said. Yume nodded. The trio split into two as they went into two different paths. Yume took the path at the left as Donald and Goofy went to the path on the right.
Yume walked quietly into the left path, it didn't seem so bad. It was a little musty, but she enjoyed getting to a side of the world. She looked around the area, then she tried looking in some stores, maybe the king would be there. But still no king. She though of a better way, she clime up the brick wall with the ladder and went on and stand at top of the wall. Yume tried to be careful not to fall as to kept her balance. She lift her arms up keeping herself in good balance. She walked on the top carefully as she took baby steps. She got a good view, no doubt. Yume tried to see maybe she'll find the king from up here. Even thought all she saw was small building from above.
Yume didn't want to get give up. She decided to get down and went back to the ladder. She climbed down to ground, she continued to search on ground. Yume had the feeling she was being watch she as she slowly walked. She herd footsteps of somebody creeping up behind her. Yume turned to see who it was, she jumped and gasped she saw cloak figured hooded so she couldn't see the face. She had a bad feeling about this. It was the same cloak she met back in the island.
"For so long, we waited. Now the new world shall be born." The cloak said.
"What?" Yume said confused. What did he mean a "new world"? He must be one of them.
"Wait a minute. Your one of the members aren't you." Yume said. She remembered what Yuffie and Leon told her about the organization. And them wearing black cloaks.
"Anwsering that question, is not valid. I'm am willing to take you with us. You are our most appealing treasure we've been determine to have." The cloak said. Yume thought this was completely insane. What does this person want with her?
"What are you talking about?" Yume asked.
"I see how your mind is confused. But eventually you'll understand child." The cloak said. He stepped forward to her, as Yume took steps backwards trying to get away from him. He was getting closer, aimed to reach out to her. Yume couldn't take it.
"Get away from me!" Yume said. She ran off from the cloak as fast as she could. Running from a further distance away from the cloak. Hopeing she would be safer in far place.
Yume slowed down to catch her breath as she put her hands on her knees. Her head was sweating from the exercise. She looked back to see if she was being followed. There was no one at sight. Thankfully she was safe away from the cloak. Yume put her hand on her chest in relief. Now she can go back to Donald and Goofy to se how their doing.
Five minutes later, Yume saw Donald and Goofy battling the heartless, just in time for her to join in the battle. She summoned her keyblade and jumped into the battle. She sliced them into thin black mist. Two heartless tried to attacked at once with their bare-sharped claws, Yume jumped back and striked both in one hit. Donald and Goofy finished the rest off. Yume defeated the last one as it disappeared from sight.
"Yume are you ok? Did they got hurt?" Donald asked.
"No i'm fine." Yume said. Geez it was getting very annoying of them asking her if she was ok.
"Did you find the King?" Goofy asked.
"No." Yume said with a sad face.
"But I did saw someone." Yume said. Donald and Goofy got curious.
"Who?" Donald asked.
"Some guy in a black cloak." Yume said. Donald and Goofy gasped, she ran into the a member from the organization! Donald was already about to panic. Goofy felt like h was goanna have a heart attack.
"OH MY GOSH! DID HE HURT YOU? DID HE POISINED YOU? DID CAST A SPELL ON YOU? DID HE..DID HE-" Donald asked when Yume interrupted him.
"No, no, no, no. He didn't do anything to me." Yume said. Donald and Goofy were relief.
"You be careful Yume, they're mighty dangerous." Goofy said.
"I know but he's something about me being their treasure. And a world being born. What did he mean?" Yume asked. Donald and Goofy knew that it was about her having the purest heart.
"Well it's because you have-" Goofy cut off by Donald as he elbowed him on his ribs.
"I have what?" Yume asked confused.
"Nothing, don't mind him." Donald said.
"I just wondered what did he want from me?" Yume asked.
"Don't worry about it. You'll be fine." Donald said.
"Well we looked everywhere and there's still no sight of the king." Yume said.
"Guess it's time for us to move on to the next one." Goofy said. Yume agreed since the king wasn't here it was no point of them hanging around. But then she saw something shiny from far away, She ran up to get a better view. When she got up to it, it was covered in dirt. She removed the dirt by tossing it in the air as the dust of dirt flew in the air. It was a nice shiny white gem, big enough to fit in her own hand. It was very beautiful. She decided to put it in her pocket to carry it with her. Maybe she'll have it as keepsake.
"C'mon Yume!" Goofy said.
" I'm coming!" Yume ran up to Donald and Goofy. They went inside the ship, it blasted off to space. Yume looked backed at Hollow Bastion as it grew smaller the more they flew away from it.
I know it's kinda shorter then my other chapters but to tell you the truth I didn't know much about Hallow Bastion. I only saw parts of it in cutscenes but I never saw the whole thing. So I did the best I could do, but I hope you enjoy it.
